and I'm Michael del Jorna. Welcome to Thursday Debate Day, June,
the twenty seventh year of our Lord, twenty twenty four.

the iHeartRadio app, you'll see a little microphone that's a
talkback butt. When you hear us talking about something, instead

you just make your response there and we get it instantly.
We can share it with the class. You can always
call toll free one eight hundred six eight eight ninety
five twenty two, eight hundred six eight eight ninety five
twenty two. And of course there's.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Always good old fashioned email at Michael d at iHeartMedia
dot com.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Ricky, all right, give us the big finish. I'm wasting
too much time. This is a national show now, ben bar.
This one comes from Rick Michael. The real solution to
the housing problem is just removed the ten million illegal
immigrants providing ten million places for people to well, I'm

(02:00):
not certain it's that simple. Many of them are being
housed in old hotels, not necessarily homes that people want
to live in. Dear Michael, it's been a while, and
I'm glad I found you. I'm listening in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida Live. Dear, I can't figure out the app. You know,

(02:24):
that's a big thing that my son can't get over.
Why is it ever to make a big deal whether
you're on a Sacramento, Memphis, Nashville, Seattle, local homes, Citi,
Saint Louis, Washington, DC, Dallas, Phoenix. All they gotta do
is to turn on the app. You're everywhere exactly. And
I don't have an answer for my son or for her.
But the I don't know that the I think I

(02:44):
find and I am not. There are things that you
know I'm not good at. I actually find the iHeart
at very easy to use. In fact, if you just
you know, you can set things in it'll even remind
you on your phone, like when the podcast is ready
and so on. But anyway, she said, uh, here's a
new one. I don't know if y'all had this conversation

(03:06):
about this Immigration is making my father pay over one
thousand dollars for a waiver because he doesn't want the vaccine.
I didn't know. I did not know that they're making
a good vaccine still well for visa requirements. Anyway, Monica,
so glad you found us. I am trying to figure
out how she's staring us auth the way in Fort Lauderdale.

(03:28):
If she's not using the iHeart app, maybe she's radio app.
Since figured it out, where would I begin on this one.
My gosh, where did it go? Was it? Kenneth Wrights brother,

(03:49):
I've been playing with AI and it's great. You know.
I heard something the other day. A friend of mine
was doing his final radio show. They had some kind
of an AI app and you just plugged in in
his case, he would plug in the name of the
radio station, his name, final show, so on, and it
would create songs, no kidding, yeah, and he would do
like a different one every hour, and one of them

(04:11):
was like it would have been a hit. It was
very emotional, very moving, and very well. I don't know
how it does it, but so I don't play around
with it a lot. I mean I have seen the
I played and had some fun with the AI where
it takes any picture of you and it could make
a you know, a headshot for business. Right, But Kenna said,

(04:33):
I asked it to list the top ten most dangerous
cities and ten safest cities in the US, and the
list of mayors and their political affiliations in all those cities. Boy,
it's hard to deny fact. Well, Wikipedia'll do that too,
you know. You can go to Wikipedia and see a
lot of things. If you want to see it. I
wanted to get this one in and I can't find it. Now.

(04:57):
I think this is it, all right, So it starts
this way. Michael, I heard you claim Trump was responsible
for shutting down businesses during COVID. In fact, he claimed
he had no such power. There is no presidential eo
shutting any business from President of the United States forty five.

(05:17):
That was all done at the state and local level
by governors and lesser political fools. In fact, South Dakota
did not shut down any business, which proves there was
no nationwide shutdown. Well, my response was, I just I
sent him the simple article Trump says nationwide lockdown would
ultimately inflict more harm than it would prevent. And then

(05:41):
I said, yes, but I was with a governor when
the President held conference calls encouraging them to shut down.
So no, the President didn't actually shut down, but the
President did take the bait from Fauci and listen to him.
So the President at one point was saying, oh, no
shut downs met, and then Fauci sat him down and said,

(06:04):
two million are going to be dead by Easter. Look,
I planned to vote for Donald Trump. I don't think
Donald Trump is a savior a Messiah or anything else.
He is what he is someone who did really smart,
right things that are right there in the Republican Party platform.

(06:27):
When he was president. He did make two big mistakes,
knowing what he knew when he did it on January sixth.
He didn't create and lead an insurrection, but he said
a lot of stupid things on January sixth, and he
got spooked by Fauci and he encouraged governors to do it.
Of course, the greatest failure of all are the state

(06:50):
legislatures and the US legislature, which didn't protect the rights
of the American people. I always found it fascinating heading
into this, and I guess it's just going to play
out the way it's going to play out. But if
you take little small subgroups, those that are the most
anti COVID, the most anti mask, anti vax, anti COVID

(07:12):
people in America, they're also the most rabid supporters of
Donald Trump. As if Donald Trump didn't pedal the VACS,
as if Donald Trump did encourage governors to shut down businesses,
all it says to me is it was a mistake.
I suspect if I was president of the United States,

(07:34):
I'll make a mistake. I wouldn't have made the COVID
mistake because I was on the air in real time.
I kept it about the virus and could see the
political weaponry that was being made of it. But he did,
and he has to own that. Nobody's even made him
own it. And I will tell you this, it's really

(07:59):
a elephant anyway, because moving forward, he's the least likely
to ever be duped again in that same way. So again,
everybody looks at life so polarizingly, and you don't need
to I planned to vote for Donald Trump, but that
wasn't a good move when he was president. Keep the

(08:22):
emails coming, Michael Datiheartmedia dot Com. We'd love to hear
from you. I wanted to feature of you this morning.
All Right, I'm gonna get back to our big stories.
This one is my favorite of the day. So eighty
percent of Trump's supporters say whoever he picks to be
his VEEP doesn't make a difference. Of those ultimately that

(08:46):
don't make a difference, that they probably like to see
Governor Ron DeSantis from Florida. Now that just brings up
the whole topic of vice presidencies, and they do matter,
and by the way. The irony of all this is
you have two candidates of record high age. It should

(09:07):
matter more than anything that first criteria. They're a heartbeat
away from the presidency. In theory, that should be the
number one criteria considered, who would be ready to be
president if I died? Date two. The second criteria usually

(09:29):
is either one or the other. A key state that
they would bring to the electoral college map that could
be a difference maker or a very unifying force to
the ticket for the party and the base. And that's
kind of in the eye of the beholder. If it

(09:50):
were six months ago or four months ago, I might say,
you know what, you want to really unify the Republican Party,
Donald Trump? Nicky Haley is your ticket? That would leave
nobody on the sidelines, everybody one hundred percent happy, everyone
one hundred percent energized. That's a good VP pic. South

(10:10):
Carolina is probably pretty secure, so nothing comes to the
table there. Or how about a governor of Virginia that
could bring you Virginia and potentially unify the party. But
I think there's something else to play here for Donald Trump,
and that's trump Ism itself. Because Donald Trump has to
realize even If he wins, he does get the unique

(10:32):
historical opportunity to have two first terms, but it'll still
be his last, and whether it takes one or two years,
eventually he's a lame duck. So what's the future of
trump Ism after he leaves? He gives the biggest head
start to whomever he chooses. Now, Ron DeSantis would clearly

(10:55):
be the most Donald Trump esque person. He's lived it
in the state of Florida. He has been a multi
term governor of a very successful state. He meets the
criteria being ready in a heartbeat. He meets the criteria
of keeping Trump is'm allowed alive. And if he were

(11:16):
to have any challenges with abortion in Florida, because there's
going to be a ton of money for marijuana and
abortion poured into Florida, he would certainly protect Florida for you.
Rondo Santis, for those that took this survey, is a
smart choice. It's Erasmussen poll found eighty percent of likely

(11:37):
US voters say Trump's choice for vice presidential running mate
won't make much a difference than whether they vote for
the Republican or not. In fact, only thirteen percent think
Trump's VP pick could potentially matter in the decision they're making,
and they do matter. I mean, I took our FK
serious and was giving him a long look until his

(11:58):
veep choice. But I think in this race it's driven
by the top. It's Biden versus Trump. A narrative from
six months ago or so or longer was nobody wanted
this rematch, But now you have it unless the Democrats
pull Biden yet or he pulls himself. And that's an

(12:19):
interesting thing. I wonder if that plays any role in
whatever decision Trump apparently has already made. What if he
isn't up against Joe Biden. And if nineteen sixty eight
rears It's Ugly Head again, it would suggest Biden's still
gonna go. Everything else is paralleling with sixty eight, And
in sixty eight they ran the veep, so that would
be Kamala Harris would move forward as the top of

(12:41):
the ticket. And if sixty eight rears It's Ugly Head,
that would mean there's a lot of lane for RFK. Now,
the problem for RFK Junior versus RFK Senior, Donald Trump
holds a lot of the the uh the hills that
RFK represented the first time around One other thing today

(13:02):
in the look for. It's a staggering statistic that is
buried no one's talking about, and it may be the
most deciding factor in this upcoming election, or the most
deciding factor in pulling Biden. Eighteen percent of Biden voters
in swing states who voted for Biden in twenty twenty

(13:23):
plan to not support him in twenty twenty four. That
is a devastating number for Joe Biden. That is him
losing his base, and it's driven by black voters leaving him,
youth voters leaving him, and Hispanic voters having already left him.
I don't have to tell you Michigan, Wisconsin. These are

(13:44):
a lot of swing states, Pennsylvania laser thin margins. And
if eighteen percent of his own base that voted for
him less than four years ago do not plan to
vote for him this time, it's unwinnable. And it comes
back to our question of the day. Much longer before
they pull him or he pulls himself and pulls an
LBJ nineteen sixty eight, things may not be just as

(14:08):
they appear. Oh, whoever wins the debate's going to win
the election. Election may already be decided unless somebody makes
a different move. This is your Morning Show with Michael
del Chorna. This is your Morning Show. I am Michael
del Jorno, streaming live on your iHeartRadio. Appened on the year.
I would say, loosely, the last two to three years

(14:35):
probably not a good time to buy a car, new
or pre owned. But the times they are a changing.
By now, by now, buy now. Aaron ray Al is here.
With inventories increasing and new incentives, maybe we can actually
say it's starting to look like a good time to
buy a car.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
Maybe, just maybe this is exciting stuff. We know that
auto sales are flowing. We need this. You're worth seeing
inventory levels, they are growing, incentives are increasing. There's a
lot of uncertainty in the second half of this year,
both with the economy, with interest rates, with presidential election.
All of this is a win for us as consumers

(15:11):
because car sales, according to Cox's Automotive, are expected to
slow down. So if you had been waiting many, many
years for a new car, this might be a good
time for it.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Does it matter pre owned versus new? Incentives will probably
apply more to new, but with.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Inventory incentives will yeah, incentives will apply to new. Inventories
are going up though we know the winners and losers
in terms of the actual car manufacturers, but it's kind of.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Across the board. Now, this is interesting.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
There's been lots of reports of people very much liking
second hand cars, older cars. This has a lot to
do with the fact that the technology in new cars,
if you could get an offender bender, you're looking at
six g's worth of repairs as opposed to three hundred
dollars dollars for some new plastic people. While they like
cool tech, they don't love it as much as they

(16:02):
think when they have it for a while, so that
resale value those are higher than they've ever been, all.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Right, so incentives creating a surge in new car buying.
Inventories are high both for pre owned dan new, making
it a good time to buy. Interest rates aren't making
it a good time to buy.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
No, interest rates are not making it a good time
to buy. And what we're seeing now from the car
dealers is that very much unlike in recent years, the
growth for them is coming from the commercial sales, not
us the consumer sales. We the buyer of like a car,
we're the consumer. The commercial are those big trucking companies
and we're more profitable to the car companies than those

(16:42):
there's different ways that they structure the sales there. But
what we're seeing right now is this unprecedented supply of
new vehicles. There are record prices that we had during
the coronavirus pandemic. Then they put so much inventory online,
they build as fast as they could, and now there's
different headwinds that are moving the auto market, and one
of them is the fact that supply is back up

(17:03):
and people are scared with interest rates and everything else.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
So we're across the board.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Prices will likely be down in the second half of
this year, according to the experts.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Well yeah, and uh, you know, if I had, First
of all, I'm like the opposite. I you know, some
of this technology, like could you really live without a
backup camera anymore? I mean, is that really option? I'm
getting that way with the heads up display, Uh, the
car doesn't have heads up display. I'm not used to
having to look down to see how fast I'm going
or what the look around to see what the speed

(17:32):
limit is. That's all there. And the heads I don't know.
I mean, I just the tech Apple car play I
know is huge with the younger generation. I think the
technology keeps you from going too old. But we'll see.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
No, I agree with you. It's funny how quickly we
become like disabled in terms of new tech, like just
handicapping us and what we can do.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, go run a U haul and welcome to them. Yeah,
well like used to be. You're like, wait, there's there's
nothing on my you know, side mirror to tell me
there's a blind spot, even there's nothing behind me to
tell me how to back up, or yeah, I know
some of the technologies now.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Listen. I I drive. My first car was a stick
shift car. I love a stick shift car. Like I
I don't I read books that are still on paper,
never on Like I am a first generation adopter of nothing.
And I've recently had to get a new car. And
that you're right, that reverse camera.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
I'm like, oh, oh yeah, you'll learn to love all
that stuff.

Speaker 3 (18:28):
I'm I have to look out.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah no, no, I was. I was thinking, there's the
backup camera. Then what's the new thing they have? The
beeping gets a little lagravating when you're going a little
too close to the front and all that.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
I see what I'm doing, Like, yeah, that one's.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Big I always I always love the concept of you know, uh,
I'm gonna pick on Mercedes, but I don't know a
brand new E Mercedes is somewhere in the high sixties,
but you can find it two years old, sometimes the
fifteen twenty thousand miles for like thirty five. You tell
me which is smarter going and buying some thirty five

(19:07):
thousand dollars new car made with lesser quality or so.
I've always been a fan of buying pre own. But
as the technology continues to change, I could not go
back to no NAV. I could not go back to
no reverse camera. Is some things I'm just spoiled, rotten.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
No, I hear you and listen. I do not doubt
for one second. But you know more about cars than
I ever could wish to know. And that's a good
thing because it makes you do a more capable buyer,
like I would want to bring you with me if
I'm going to get a new car. But I think
that when you look at all of the new technology,
people like it, but much like appliances, you like it

(19:45):
for a certain amount of time and then you're like,
oh my goodness, this is a lot Like I don't
need to be alerted at all times for all things.
And I'm going to say something deeply controversial.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Oh, I don't think car play is particularly good.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
I think like that it sync's kind of funny, Like
I don't love it like other people love it. And
this might be because I'm a little bit of like
a twentieth generation adopter, never first. But yeah, it's a
it's a changing it's a changing world. The car market
is always very innovative. But I I I'm of the
opinion that like putting your key in the ignition was
not a bad thing or a burden.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
Oh, I could never go back to that. I couldn't
see you disagree with it. Is that's a breaker for
me if I got to put a key to dart.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
But yeah, I feel like the start button, it's like
what the key in the ignition was too big a burden?
Like And also I find everyone's like, uh, you know
cars are being stolen because keys are being left in it.
I was like, whole, it's a keyn of car. Then
I got a car with a start button. I was like, oh,
I'm like accidentally leaving my keys in the car all
the time because they're just sitting in the middle area like,
it's yeah, that one.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
That's one you adjust too quickly. You don't make that mistake.
You know. That's like not having the next diaper ready
when you're changing a diaper. You'll make that mistake once.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
But I think I like the old lady on my
porch yelling like no, but yeah, and you're the there's.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
A lot of auto dealers listening this morning. I know
we need to get sales up, and this is a
good sign. The interest rates are a big problem because, yes,
the vehicle costs are up and the interest rates are high.
Car payments, it doesn't take much of a car for
your payment to be eight hundred or one thousand dollars.
That's crazy, and that's why people are not buying. So

(21:27):
people are sticking to whatever they have. Yeah, you need to,
we need to, we need to. IM may be coming
to Connecticut to find you a new car. Now. I
picture when you're like a sixty eight beetle. I used
to love.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
I would love a sixty eight feet I like like
old like I have. I think I'm an old stool
like I like.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
I like like old stuff.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
I don't know when I was young, i'd have a
drink in my hand and I'm shifting the gear. I
can't do any of that anymore. I gotta be automatic.
Can't have a key. I got it mine. I switched gears,
you know. I put in reverse. It's like the blinker
button the turn signal, and you hit it down and
it goes in reverse again. Yeah. I don't even want
to touch something in the middle of my console.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
But Michael, there's people screaming at their radio right now
on either one of our sides.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, and probably more on your side because I'm the
idiot paying for all the technology Aeronal. Great reporting to
be able to talk again tomorrow. By the way, who
do you think is going to win the debate tonight? Oh?

Speaker 3 (22:18):
Great question.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
It depends.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
It depends if Biden can show up ready to play
and Trump can be a little less bellicos, then we
have a real fight.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
I don't think you should bring up depends on Joe Biden.
In the same sentence, Hi, right, forty three minutes after
the hour. If you're just waking up, there really is
only one top story of the day. It's election night
in Atlanta. No RFK, But Biden Trump will square off
nine Eastern eighth Central Mark Mayfield has our top story.

Speaker 6 (22:49):
I'll speaker Mirk Johnson told reporters on Wednesday that Americans
will see a sharp contest between the two candidates. Johnson
joked that it doesn't matter if Biden drinks a whole
gallon of energy drinks. He can't match the energy of Trump,
and you'll have to defend his record, including on the
US Mexico border. The two candidates debate Thursday night in
Atlanta in an event hosted by CNN. I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
As for RFK Junior, he plans to respond in real
time to the Trump Biden debate. Kennedy has been excluded
from the debate hosted by CNN. He announced that he'll
answer the debate questions on his own online stream. Kennedy
accused Biden of Trump campaigns, as well as CNN of
colluding to keep him off the debate stage. CNN says
he failed to meet the criteria to qualify for the event.

(23:35):
Cancer centers, they're reporting drug shortages. This is not good,
Tammy Trahilo reports.

Speaker 5 (23:40):
Among twenty eight centers across the US, eighty nine percent
reported that at least one drug used treat cancer, its symptoms,
or treatment side effects was in short supply as according
to a survey by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. The
problem is reportedly fueled by a combination of supply chain
issues and overseas companies cutting back on on offitable drug manufacturing.

(24:01):
I'm Tammy Trhio.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
The investigation into the death of Friends actor Matthew Perry
is nearing an end. Michael Casner reports.

Speaker 7 (24:08):
That's according to ABC News, citing sources within the Los
Angeles Police Department and US Attorney's Office. Investigators are working
to determine who supplied the ketamine that led to the
fifty four year old Perry's death at his home in
Pacific Palisades last October. The DEA and US Postal Service
are also involved in the investigation. I'm Michael Cassner.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Federal authorities are now handling the investigation into the attempted
fraudulent foreclosure of Graceland Lisa Taylor. As details.

Speaker 8 (24:39):
The Tennessee Attorney General's Office said the investigation is best
suited for federal law enforcement, adding they have faith in
our federal partners and know they will handle this appropriately.
An identity thief from Nigeria may be behind the attempt
to auction off Elvis Presley's famed estate. Graceland is the
second most visited home in the United States, with only
the White House receiving more visitors on a yearly base.

(25:00):
I'm Lisa Taylor.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Summertime means children playing and cooling off to rich, creamy
ice cream yum. However, the FDA is recalling a lot
of ice cream products over listeria contamination. Brian Shook Me
All Night Long has the story.

Speaker 9 (25:17):
A recall covers sixty eight products across thirteen brands, including Jenny's,
Hershey's ice Cream, and Dolchiza Gelato. The FDA said the
products could be contaminated and cause severe and sometimes fatal infections.
There have been reports of illnesses related to the recalled
ice cream products.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
I'm Brian Shook Well. Just in time for the Olympics,
NBC is bringing an AI version of Al Michaels. Why
not just the real Al Michaels. The broadcaster said they're
using a AI software to recreate his voice to provide
Olympic recaps for Peacock. Michael's approved of the plan, adding

(25:57):
he's astonished after hearing a sample of the broadcast. Al
Michaels has worked on NBC Olympic coverage since twenty ten.
This year, you'll be hearing an AI version of Al
Michaels Scary. Cardinals split a double header in Sports six
to two. They lost the first game, won the second
one four to one over the Braves. Mariners won five

(26:17):
two over the Rays. Thus one of our cities, Tampa
Rais lost, Guardians lost, NAT's lost, Rangers lost, d Backs
lost birthdays. We figured out Jayja Abrams did what two
Star Wars movies? Some Star Wars. Yeah, I only saw
the very first one, and I remember being like eleven,
ten or eleven years old, that was maybe maybe eleven

(26:38):
or twelve whatever I was, and I remember not liking it.
A Star Wars guy, Yeah, I like the toys. Hi,
it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live on
great radio stations across the country like WILM and w
DOV and Wilmington and Dover, Delaware, or wgst AM seven
to twenty the Voice in Middle Georgia. We're gonna need
some blankets. News Radio six fifty k E and I Anchorage, Alaska.

(27:01):
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine
now enjoy the podcast. A new poll out just before
tonight's presidential debate, Joe's Donald Trump has taken the lead
over Joe Biden. RFK Junior plans to respond in real
time on social media during the debate, answering the same
questions Biden and Trump will be asked. And the Supreme
Court is reportedly going to allow emergency abortions based on

(27:24):
a document accidentally posted online. Are Your Morning Show? National
correspondent Rory O'Neil is joining us. Rory, what is it
with abortion rulings and leaks and accidental posts? That's two
for two now for the Supreme Court, although.

Speaker 10 (27:37):
They are almost conflicting rulings though, right the first one
that was leaked was the Dobbs decision, you know, sort
of up ending and ending row, and then this one
would seem to allow abortions.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
So they are competing opinions I think being released.

Speaker 10 (27:52):
But interesting that the two leaks, which are incredibly rare,
but the two leaks we've had have been abortion cases.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, I did to get several key rulings in the
next several days. This one would, now, I guess, go
to the top of the list. I mean, if it
was an accident, they might as well make it the
next one they might real sooner the better.

Speaker 10 (28:13):
Right, And we're all standing by for that immunity decision.
Whether or not the President of the United States enjoys
immunity from prosecution and exactly how that decision is worded
will be critical. And whether or not the court wants
to sort of play a role in tonight's debate and
release the decision now or do they wait until tomorrow,
maybe next week?

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Well, what's your take on that. I would I would
think if you're trying to not you would wait on purpose.
I mean I think you would, But like, do you
expect any rulings today at ten?

Speaker 10 (28:50):
But at the same time, oh, there'll be a lot
of rulings today. I just don't know if it'll be
on these cases, but it'll be. I'd like them to
issue the ruling before so we can go the candidates
to respond because we're not going to hear you know,
there's not there won't be another debate until September, if
there's a debate in December. So I would rather get
this all settled now, otherwise they can go kill each

(29:11):
other and not be charged.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
What do you know there's so many people waking up
this morning, and I know the planning. I'm watching the debate.
I expect record ratings. Quite frankly. Polling suggests seventy three
percent of voters plan to watch. Some are all of
the debate. Sixteen percent of they don't think anything can
happen that's going to change the way they're voting, but
they plan to watch. I guess that's your analogy of
the of the car race, right, we're all looking for

(29:35):
an accident. What do you what is the one thing
you're watching for?

Speaker 10 (29:39):
Well, see, being in our line of work, I'm interested
in the moderators, you know, and do they put their
thumb on the scales at this point?

Speaker 1 (29:48):
And then I was thinking who else could moderate?

Speaker 10 (29:50):
I know there's been a lot of heat of though
they're so liberal and blah blah blah.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Okay, well pick someone. Well, yeah, I mean I think
you you know, when we were growing up, even though
everybody was watching Walter Cronkite or I'm trying to think
who the other one was, Roger Mudd, Yeah, you know,
but the moderators were always someone different. I remember being people.

(30:14):
I don't watch him, I don't know. I didn't know
who was or or they would bring over like the
PBS kind of people in the old days, because that's
what it took for it to look disassociated from those
who tell you the news. You're right today, I don't
know who anybody would agree on. I mean, it's such
a divided nation. Whoever you put up there, somebody would
find a problem with it. Oftentimes, what you see on

(30:35):
social media is we want to get people like Joe
Rogan or Tucker Carlson or you know, but then that
would be perceived. So but I think there is a
lot on the line. You're write for CNN, and these
are two that you know would be I'm trying to
say it nicely, Well, these would be the two worst
choices you could make. If you're trying to avoid such arguments.

Speaker 10 (30:58):
Well, I would say yeah, because I've been trying to
look at this saying well who would I pick, and
I'm trying to look at it objectively and say, well,
try to look at it. Then in just the context
of their performance tonight, is how I want to judge them.
Is all the stuff that you think you've heard them say,
or Nazi this and Hitler, what all that noise crowded out,
and then just try to judge them on their performance

(31:19):
in this place tonight.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
And I'll end by making I think both of our point,
which is in the Republican primary debates, when it finally
rolled around NBC, I thought they did a much better
job than even Fox, who constantly had their finger and
you know, on the scale, so to speak. All Right,
we're he's going to come back, and we're going to
talk a little bit about polls that look at how
Americans are feeling and not just election, Supreme Court, social media, smartphones,

(31:44):
We're all admissed together. This is your Morning Show with
