Speaker 1 (00:00):
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 twenty the voice in Middle Georgia. And We're gonna
need some blankets. News Radio six fifty k e n I, Anchorage, Alaska.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well two three starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding Well.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Because we're in Mitigat, this is your morning show with
Michael gil Trump. Thank you, Mike mccannon seven minutes after
the hour, and good morning, Welcome back to laghborhood. It
is Tuesday, September third in the neighborhood. I am Michael
del Jornad. I guess I'll call this a big loss.

(00:50):
I'm an alum of the Louisiana State University. It probably
should be called a big win for USC, but big
losses LSU twenty seven twenty to USC and college football.
How about Florida State, ranked tenth in the country lose
to Georgia Tech and then last night lose twenty eight
to thirteen to Boston College in a row and two
before the rankings come out, they'll be from tenth to unranked.

(01:15):
That's pretty bad. Big winners oh U fifty one to
three over Temple Boomer Sooner, Georgei're probably the biggest win
slapping around. Clemson thirty four to three, Ohio State, Alabama, Texas,
all with big lopsided wins. Notre Dame with a strong
win as well. As college football is underway, warm temperatures
across the country continue, but not so much here in
Middle Tennessee, where we're finally looking a little bit more seasonable.

(01:38):
And six more deaths of hostages held by Hamas spark
massive protests in Israel and from Joe Biden himself coming
off two weeks vacation, saying Israel's Prime Minister isn't doing
enough to secure a hostage deal with Hamas. So Amas
kills more hostages. That seems to be what their new

(01:59):
call is going to be. If anybody closes in on hostages,
they'll just kill them. What does this do for ceasefire
and peace in the Middle East? Process Lietenant Colonel James Carafano,
one of the finest military and foreign policy minds in
the world today, and he presides over the Heritage Foundation,
one of the largest think tanks in the world at
Heritage dot org. Joins us, what do you make of

(02:19):
the developments from this weekend?

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Well, you know, I think people continue to obsess about
the ceasefire like it's the solution to everything, and really
at this point it's almost the solution of nothing. I mean,
the Hamas is down to negotiating for the personal safety
of the leaders of FAMAS, and they're not even guaranteeing
that they're going to return life hostages. They're just guaranteeing

(02:43):
returned bodies. I talked to a senior as early official
but a month or so ago, and they asked me
about thirty hostages that they can bring back. So, you know,
it's kind of like people obsessing on something and it's
a solution to anything. So that's what they have. And

(03:05):
of course this notion that somehow it's Israel's fault that
there's not a seas fires is completely fatuous. If anything,
again a political comment and fight, But if anything, the
obsessive and ambivalence of the US in this negotiating process
has really encouraged loss US to out in nothing.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
How many total hostages do we estimate from the beginning, was.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
It three hundred?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I'm going to go out and that's the number I'm
kind of remembering. I mean, keep in mind, there were
three hundred taken hostage. The estimate is there's only thirty remaining,
and the new protocol is to kill them if the
Israeli soldiers start getting close. Uh, they've already killed what
of all the hostages, and now they're gonna and the

(03:57):
problem is net in Yahoo.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
The other thing is that this is interesting. It's killing
in the hostages as opposed to letting them be liberated.
I mean, it's that Hamas is that bloodthirsty at this
point and thinking they're going to pay no price in
negotiations in international And we've seen this, We've actually seen

(04:21):
in American streets yesterday, young people out protesting for Hamas
and the terrorists after they literally executed innocent people. So
I think it's so telling that rather than just release
them let them go, which would have bought them some
good will, they feel so emboldened to just kill them

(04:43):
and think they're going to pay no price for that.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Now you've got I got a bald spot from where
I've been scratching my head. Okay, so because this is Hamas,
and if you're dealing with Hamas, you're dealing with Iran.
I think back of being a teenager in Night teen
seventy nine, and yeah, the economy was in shambles, much
like it is today, but there was a hostage crisis
that was really the final blow to Jimmy Carter and America,

(05:10):
and the media counted the days of those times we've
had American hostages mixed in with this, Nobody in America
seems to be paying any mind, let alone the rooting
for Hamas, who's bloodthirsty and killing them for no reason.
How much have we changed since nineteen seventy nine, not
just the death of journalism. I'm wondering where the American
people's minds are at well.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I mean, there's obviously two things going. One is, we
have one major political party that is accommodating to basically
Islamist extremist views. So we only have two major political
parties in this country. One of them is tolerant of

(05:55):
is Longist action in the world. The other is we
have a media which doesn't want to talk about anything
which would paint that party and their leadership in a
bad life. That's what's changed in this country. So think
about this. It's not that journalists are all of a
sudden all liberal. I mean they've always been mobile when

(06:15):
you think back to Walter Cronkite and I think all
these guys they were liberals, okay, but they were journalists first.
And so even liberal journalists who know that they were
damaging the political party that they voted for, we'd go
on air every night and talk about the weaknesses of
a democratic administration now would see that as a betrayal

(06:37):
of their political affiliation.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
I guess too. You wouldn't be politically correct studying the
life of Mohammad completely accurately, or the surahs or the
hidiz completely accurate, because people might view that as being islamophobic.
But what part of Mohammad's life in totality, what part
of the hottest surahs and indeeds don't you get because

(07:04):
they explain exactly what happened this weekend. But we act
as if it's not just that, we act as if
we can we act as if it didn't even happen.
I mean it's like, you know, these hostages weren't even
killed and the president comes out, then yeah, I was
not doing enough. Would what would you, I mean, go
on vacation like you. I don't know. I'm trying not

(07:26):
to do talk radio here, but I'm like none of this.
I would have picked up the phone and called you
and said, my fear is if killed virtually all the
hostages now I see that, but few are alive. They're
gonna kills as Israeli soldiers get close. This. This isn't
heading it hour towards peace or shouldn't.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
I would have said that. You know, I talked about
this on Fox yesterday because I was actually I heard
one of my colleagues at midnight that night before being
interviewed about this, and I thought, well, jeez, what would
I say? And so I called it the next day
and I was thinking, because there are no duovers, but
I think it's an important lest in the history. There

(08:05):
are three real lessons of how we got here where
the original American send contributes to this. One is empowering,
engaging and trying to normalize relations with Ron is the
root of all EAGL. You know, as you've said, it's
not the ceasefire Cox that's not going to end things
dealing with iran Is and giving them the money and
the resources to unleash the Surgu. That's what took us

(08:29):
on the road to three hundred hostages.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
The second sin of the United States is once the
war broke out, we didn't unequivocally, thoroughly and completely throw
our support behind Israel. That's what has empowered the global
into Fada to be attacking Israel. That's what's hold on
hope for Hamas that they can somehow win.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
This man because the United Caate is equivocating. And then
it was clear that there was going to be a
protracted war and I know this is complicated for something else.
We just started to say we're going to go after
our hot which is we're going to go get our people,
and that would have scared the hell out of Hamas.
And we didn't do any of those three things. And

(09:08):
we basically what we did is we just didn't talk
about it, and we outsourced, literally we outsourced the faith
the hostages to Hamas. And you Rememberston taped hostages by ACCID.
This was an integral part of this strategy of October seventh,
and so the people that deliberately took innocence. On October seventh,

(09:30):
to use them as a un shield, we outsourced their
safety as their future to the Evildoerst.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafinal joining us this morning. You know,
we live in a matrix, right, so I understand that
the left is going to assume it's narrative position and
be immovable in that the right's going to assume theirs
and be immovable. But this isn't even fifty to fifty.
You can't even find in the right matrix. You can't
even find people that see this is outrageous. Iran by

(10:02):
way of Hamas took American hostages, one of which lost
its life this weekend, and nobody in America still seems
to care, let alone half of American A matrix isn't
calling on this government to go in there and get
the rest.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
So, I mean, look, I mean so and they think
it's if they say some words, they're done. So we
had the Vice President publicly say Hamas is evil and
this is an evil deed. Great, well, what did you
do to push back against the three original incentives? God
is here nothing? What are you doing today to go
after these people? Will be held accountable? You know, nobody

(10:39):
will get away with us. What do you do? The
President comes off vacation and says is not doing enough?

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh, it was appalling to me, all right, So literally
I'd said I'd be spending special ops in to assist
and extract these hostages. I'd also be putting sanctions on Iran. Uh,
putting Iran on notice, world notice of that's going to happen.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Right, Look, I don't Maybe I can, you know, write
it in the sky or you know, brought it in
blood or something. The problem here is to run. You
have to deal with a run. So far, the only
thing that we heard from the from the left and
in a future presidential candidate is we're going to go
back to the Iran deal, which is completely nonsensible. That's

(11:23):
the answer.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
What do you make of this big nothing? What do
you make of this big nothing burger over Arlington Cemetery?
What was Donald Trump doing at that cemetery? And you know,
I well he was invited, should he maybe not have gone?
I don't know what was Kamalat and Joe Biden invited?
The White House is denying that. What do you make
of all this?

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Look, I think it's pretty simple. It doesn't matter with
the exact politic or the exact things is you're up
the gold Star families in the middle of political debate.
That was a massive strategic blunder by the Harris campaign.

(12:04):
Gold Star families are grieving, Like did you see Republicans
attacking the family of hostages speaking on the stage at DNC. No,
because regardless of you think of the politics of that,
it's beyond the pale. These people are in ultimate pain
and suffering. You leave them out of it, no matter

(12:25):
how tempting that is. To go after gold Star families
is a massive error in political judgment and strategic judgment,
and I find it very, very disturbing to do that.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
I'm trying not to I'm trying not to be overly
partisan here, but especially when your policies led to their loss,
especially when you didn't greet the bodies when they returned,
and oh my gosh, this would be the final blow,
especially if you were invited and didn't go.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, you know, we went to see the Reagan film. Sorry,
there's the scene in that I completely forgot. We're Ragan
just went on in the air and he said, you know,
I don't believe I did anything in criminally wrong. There's
an investigation. Fine, but I was wrong unfunt scandal to.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Being hang on, hang on a second, your phone cut out,
and this is too important. I was wrong around Contra
and they'll take it from there.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Thank got people with a speech from the office and
he said I President, well, and then Harrison never never
did that, And if they did that, I don't think
they would have the issues on this issue that they
have today.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, all right, Uh, well, we got what sixty three
days to go. I probably should ask this on behalf
of the listeners, and I know you'll give them a
straight shooting answer. What's this take in terms of foreign policy?
Peace in the Middle East, holding back the most predictable problem,

(14:06):
which is Iran, China, Russia? What's it take in this
election that they'd never hear about because you never hear
foreign policy really brought up, right, So.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
You know that's a great question because I was asked
to right some time. Look, I think it's just obviously
true that Horris foreign policy and intent would be no
different from Obama or Biden could see exactly the same people.
I think there are two problems. One is the presumption
will be that she's a week leader and an experienced leader,
and they would test her. That's one. The other thing

(14:36):
is is there are policies. There are Obama, Biden, Howard's policies,
which is just unsustainable Iran policies one of them, Energy
policy is one of them, global local policies as well.
You know most of the leaders and the chiefs seven
or not Uber to Liverpool. So there are things that
even if she wants to just keep doing the same playbook,

(14:57):
they literally won't work in the world. And how we
with that?

Speaker 1 (15:00):
And we have no clue for you know, you just
went to the You went to the movie. So I'll
close with this. It's something we've talked about in the
past too. What if there had been a Jimmy Carter
second term? Well the question this time is what if
there is a Barack Obama and now we would have
to call this a fourth term with a with a
second puppet. You know, it wouldn't have been about gas

(15:24):
lines just or wouldn't have been about inflation just it
would have been about foreign policy had there been a
second term of Jimmy Carter. I pray we don't find
that out some whatever that is forty something years later,
always appreciate your time. Tennant. Colonel James Carafano, thank you
so much for joining us. This is your morning show

(15:44):
with Michael del Trona. Warm temperatures across the country continue
into the new month, although we've gotten twenty degrees cooler
in Middle Tennessee just shortly after my near heat stroke
and heat exhaustion golfing. And then then there's Rory who
had to take it for the team and iHeart and
worked very hard this Labor Day weekend, and it was
very greatly appreciated, and the work was stellar at least

(16:08):
I was listening on Monday morning. But yeah, you and
old Joe both had to work on Labor Day, right.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Look at that out of nowhere to come.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
In and out of the bulb, clean things up, and
here he is, fresh on Tuesday morning. A sh The
share of Americans moving from their homes has reached the
lowest level in history. I know why, But let me ask,
like I don't, why are people staying put? Rory O'Neill, Well,
it's a few reasons. Yes, there is the money side
of things.

Speaker 6 (16:36):
That mortgage rates are so much higher than they've been
in the past decade or so, that a lot of
people who bought a house in two thousand and three
said I'm keeping this mortgage and I'm not going anywhere.
But there's also the lifestyle slash work balance that's changed
as well, where more people get to work from home,
they don't have to be near an office, or they

(16:57):
can get a whole new job all across the country
and still never leave their extra bedroom.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
I could ask you now break down the numbers by percentage,
but you know that last one we should focus on.
It used to be well, think about radio. I would
have left my job in Nashville, taken a new job
with iHeart. I probably would have moved. That would have
been inventory here in Middle Tennessee. And that's not happening

(17:22):
like it used to. I remember I was watching I
have one weakness, which is the reels, which is very
similar to what TikTok is, and now I get white
people get addicted. Yeah. So in one of the reels,
it was somebody from IBM in nineteen seventy seven telling
everybody what life is going to be like in two thousand.
He didn't miss by much on a lot of things.

(17:42):
In terms of computers. He didn't see it necessarily going
to the phone. But he did talk specifically about there
will be a day you won't have to move for
your job. People can work from anywhere. We are seeing
that effect. But the biggest is I could call any
mortgage company today and say, hey, should I lump my
he locked together with my first mortgage and just have

(18:02):
one payment? And he's gonna look at me, go what's
your interest rate on that the big one? And I'd say, oh,
two point six and he'd look at me like I'm crazy, right,
I mean, that's what's got everybody locked.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
That's a huge part of it.

Speaker 6 (18:13):
But also, as I mentioned, lifestyle, people are getting married
later in life, they're living at home with mom and
dad longer and longer. And it's also because two income
households are tough to relocate. You mentioned you know, if
you had to get an iHeart job outside of Nashville,
you'd likely be moving. Well, what if the wife needs
a job and where is she going to get one?
And well, maybe we'll just stay here because moving two

(18:35):
of us is difficult.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Couple the whole thing off. You hate it saying don't
you yes?

Speaker 6 (18:41):
Not just there's a we have an online chat group,
there's a you know.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
But so there are other lifestyle factors as well.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
All right, so what you know, there's two things looming
that you just kind of touched on. One, we do
have a birth rate crisis, and it is looming because,
first of all, if never mind the moral aspects of
go forth and populate and all of that, No, the
way our entitlement programs, the way our economy is based,

(19:14):
it's going to be a crisis and a problem. You
alluded to another one. We're waiting longer to get married.
I don't have to tell you that some of the
people are looking down the road and saying, we got
a marriage crisis down the road and a birthing crisis
down the road. I mean, there's just so many things.
Just under the surface of the water, there's a riptide.

(19:37):
But on top of the water, what we can see
is people aren't selling, and therefore we have home value
sky high, inventory sky low. Interest rates are still high
and everybody's stay in put right.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
And look, let me be clear, all those financial factors
I think are the eight hundred pound guerrilla in the room.
But those other things we mentioned are maybe you know,
longer term trend to look at. Because the financial side
could be a bit more volatile. You know, we could
have mortgage rates coming down significantly in the next year.
But this idea of we're having fewer kids, we're marrying

(20:10):
later in life, I mean those that the longer term
changes to how we're living. Plus we've also got the
baby boomers. But sorry, folks, we're about to have the
greatest transfer of wealth from one generation to another over
the next twenty years, and that could be fundamentally changing
as well.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Fortunately, you get to dismount and go to another market.
But if I were to ask you and any candidate
looking you in the eye this election season, telling you
day one when I get office, I'm going to fix
this housing crisis, I'd love to hear how they plan
to do it.

Speaker 6 (20:42):
Yeah, they don't have a whole lot of answers because
a lot of it is done on the local level.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
It's not necessarily federal.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
You've got to have your city hall approve that zoning plan.
You've got to have the developers and the banks willing
to lend and get these things done.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Developments in Israel over the weekend, they were not good.
Roy'll be back next hour more on that story. Rory,
thanks for all the great work this Labor Day weekend,
and we'll talk to him one hour all right, forty
minutes after the offer, just waking up. Here's what you.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Need to know, or, as we.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Affectionately called in for the top five stories of the day. Well,
Rory wasn't the only one working. Joe, coming off two
weeks vacation, was clearly rested and screaming at the top
of his lungs. It was his first joint appearance on
the campaign trail with Mama La Kamala since exiting the
race in twenty twenty four, Mark Mayfield has more with
our road to the White House.

Speaker 7 (21:32):
Speaking at a union rally in Pittsburgh on Labor Day,
Biden focused on pro labor policies and touted himself as
the most pro union president in history, while showing support
for Harris.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
Are you ready to fight?

Speaker 3 (21:44):
Are ready to win?

Speaker 8 (21:46):
Are you ready to let Kamala Harris our next president?

Speaker 7 (21:54):
He also talked about his infrastructure bill and what he
calls a positive impact it has had on the US economy.
Speaking after Biden, Harris said a US steel which agreed
to be bought by Japan's in the phone steel should
remain domestically owned and operated.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
I'm Marknefield. You know, technically, Jeffrey, now that I think
about it, I labored on Labor Day because I watched
that entire campaign appearance. Well, then you were prepping, so
you were working, especially the Kamal apart, that was real labor. Meanwhile,
President Biden says it's rarely Prime Minister Benjamin net and
Yahoo needs to do more when it comes to securing
a hostage deal with hamas. His policies have failed. His

(22:31):
hostage was killed along with Israeli hostages, and he's pointing
the finger at Nun, Yahoo, not Amas, not Iron.

Speaker 9 (22:38):
Brian Shook reports when asked by a reporter if enough
was being done, this was Biden's response no. Speaking to
reporters at the White House Monday, Biden said he remains
hopeful that a deal will get done. The President said
he spoke to the parents of an Israeli American hostage
that was found dead over the weekend. He also said

(22:59):
he's not given up on reaching a deal for the
release of others still being held captive by Hamas. I'm
Brian Schuk.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Tonight's Maga Million's drawing will be worth a whopping six
hundred and eighty one million dollars. There hasn't been a
grand prize winner since June, sending the jackpot skyrocketing. The
cash option works out to be just over three hundred
and thirty six million dollars. The NYPD says. Now there's
six people that were shot in Brooklyn's West Indian Day parade.

(23:29):
Sarah Le Kessler's here with the latest.

Speaker 10 (23:30):
Police say a gunman jumped onto a parade barrier on
Eastern Parkway at about three pm and fired into the crowd.
This woman was an eyewitness.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
Guys, they came.

Speaker 11 (23:41):
From back there.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
They jump over there, and I hear Papa.

Speaker 8 (23:46):
And what I did was I dump on the ground
because everybody's not running.

Speaker 10 (23:51):
One of the victims is reportedly in critical condition. One
was shot in the head, another in the shoulder, and
yet another in the wrist. The parade was halted for
a time, but it's resumed again. Sarah Lee Kessler, NBC
News Radio, New York.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Seems like yesterday. I was about twenty five years old,
living working in Washington, d C. But actually living in
a suburb of Baltimore, and I was diagnosed by JOHNS.
Hopkins with the letter came in the mail with heart
disease and it was really like a death sentence. Of course,
that's nineteen eighty eight. A lot's changed since then, and

(24:26):
a lot didn't happen that would have happened thanks to
statens and other medications. But now researchers say there are
markers in routine blood tests that can predict the risk
of heart disease thirty years before it ever occurs. Tammy
Trehuilo has this amazing story.

Speaker 12 (24:44):
A certain type of fat and an indicator of inflammation
can predict the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart disease.
The study found women with the highest levels were one
and a half times more likely to have a stroke
and three times more likely to develop heart disease over
the next three decades. That study was published in the
New England Journal of Medicine. I'm Tammage, Trheo.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
Dead Bull and Wolverine continues to rule the box office,
expected to bring in another fifteen point two million dollars
over this holiday weekend. In a distant second, the sci
fi horror sequel Alien Romulus and the presidential biopic Reagan
became the only movie opening this weekend to crack the
top five, and everything I've read from anyone online is

(25:25):
how spectacular it is. Why, just in order to do
my show better, I may go watch it today and
report tomorrow on the Reagan movie turn on By. Today
we celebrate a cheese sandwich that predates the grilled cheese.
What could be before the grilled cheese sandwich? A reporter

(25:45):
with a name of cheese pre Tennis has.

Speaker 8 (25:48):
More Today is National Welsh rare Bit Day. Sounds fancy,
but it's not. It's hot cheese sauce pored over toast
that dates back to at least seventeen twenty five. At
one time it was called Welsh rabbit, but there's no
bunny in it, never has been. It's a saple in
taverns because it's unstuffy. It's cheesy, vegetarian, and oh so good.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
I'm pre tennis, you know, right before a missile strikes
American we all die. I want to be hearing a
pre tennis report just so I'm in perfect bliss. I
feel like a whole different world where breelips. Isn't it
big losses? How about Florida State first, the ranked tenth
in the country, lose to Georgia Tech, Then last night.
They lose twenty eight to thirteen to Boston College. They're

(26:31):
going to go from tenth ranked to unranked oing to LSU.
That's a tough one. They lose to us. Not so
much that you know, USC has found itself a great quarterback,
but the way they lost it, that's probably one of
the toughest loss. Big wins. Notre Dame with a big win.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Oh, you are the Oklahoma Sauters. They really stuber knocked
temper fifty one to three Georgia, I think the most impressive.
I guess a highly ranked Clemson team thirty four to three.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
Spank them. Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, all with big wins
in college football, very lopsided wins in college football. NFL
starts Thursday night. The Baltimore Ravens will be at Arrowhead
Stadium taking on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 8 (27:15):
Hey, this is Lee Murphy in Cottontown, Tennessee. My morning
show is your morning show with Michael vil Jorno.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
You're just waking up. Old Joe worked on Labor Day
alongside Vice President Kamala Harris on a campaign stop to
schlep to union voters and the long Labor Day weekend
poise to break all travel records, and warm temperatures across
the country are continuing into the new month. By the way, first,
I had Kamala Harris at the Democrat Convention steal my

(27:44):
slogan We're all in this together, right, And now Hallmark's
after me. Oh, Andrea's birthday card to me. I opened
it up and in big letters, it said, I'm so
glad you were born. No what, I think somebody has
stole my catchphrase. I would send a cease and desist
speaking of that, I'm so glad. John Decker was and
sore his parents. John is here, He probably wants to
talk more about tennis and the who was the player

(28:06):
that snubbed the ballgirl? That's been the all the buzz
this weekend in tennis.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
Oh, I don't know we're watching. I was at the
US Open.

Speaker 11 (28:14):
I don't even know who.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
You're referring to.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, some woman who lost apparently dissed the ballgirl. And
when the ballgirl threw the ball, she let it just
hit her and bounce off her then through another one
let it bounce off her foot and just totally disrespected
her and then had to issue a formal apology. So apparently, well,
she was quite frustrated and went on to lose. That'll
do it, right, I guess yes.

Speaker 11 (28:35):
If they do go home with a nice consolation prize
of several hundred thousand dollars, there is.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Big bucks, all right. John Decker is here to talk
about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. I know the governor
of Illinois came out this weekend and said, don't underestimate
Donald Trump in debates, and I thought, I'm going to
talk to John Decker. Let's see what he thinks. Donald
Trump better than people think of debating. Right.

Speaker 11 (28:59):
Oh, absolutely, ask you know the seventeen professional politicians that
he beat to be the Republican nominee in twenty sixteen.
I think he surprised them. Certainly he got the better
of Joe Biden, al though I think that was a
lot of unforced errors on the part of Joe Biden.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Back on June to twenty seventh.

Speaker 11 (29:16):
And one week from tonight, Michael is when we will
have likely the only presidential debate between Donald Trump and
Kamala Harris. That will happen next Tuesday night in Philadelphia
at the Constitution Center, and I'll be there. It's going
to be I think the most one of the most
important events of this election cycle. It's the only time

(29:37):
we are likely to see Donald Trump and Kamala Harris
on the same stage at the same time this election cycle.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Well, let's by the way, June twenty seventh, doesn't that
feel like a lifetime ago? See just seeing Joe this weekend,
I was like gousha, I almost forgot you know how
serious that she was a standing for a scream. They're
gonna have the same rules. I don't think we would
blame it on the rules, right, I mean, Joe just
cognitive wasn't up to the task. But how will these

(30:02):
new rules, Because we know that the Harris campaign fought
to keep the mics open and didn't win. So using
this nobody in the audience, no notes, Mike's muted when
you're not speaking, how might that we saw it brought
off the best of Donald Trump. So what we don't
know is how this will affect Kamala Harris.

Speaker 11 (30:23):
Well, I think it benefits Donald Trump. We saw that
in debate number one between Biden and Trump. It makes
him look more disciplined because it doesn't appear to the
audience at home like he's interrupting his opponent, which.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
She does do.

Speaker 11 (30:35):
We saw that three times with Hillary Clinton during that
last election cycle back in twenty sixteen. So it benefits
Donald Trump in that regard. Well, we'll have to wait
and see how Kamala Harris prepares for that. I can
tell you that on her off days, when she isn't campaigning,
when she isn't doing her duties as vice president, her
all time is then preparing for this all important debate.

(30:56):
She was preparing for debate. She thought it was going
to be a vice president state. Whoever it was that
Donald Trump chose versus and ended up being JD. Vance
versus herself. Now, of course it's at the presidential level.
It's Donald Trump versus Kamala Harris. And I'm sure that
she has seen lots of video of how he handles
himself in debates, his style, the way he really tries

(31:20):
to essentially trick off his opponent, and that is what
we're likely to see next Tuesday night.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, confidence is a big thing too, you know. I'm
thinking of in the Rocky three, when Rocky's fighting and
he starts getting flashbacks while clubver Lane is pounding him,
He's seeing Apollo Creed. You know, Kamala's last time out
in twenty twenty did not go well, her attacks on
Joe Biden, who eventually make her vice president, and then

(31:46):
really Tulsey Gabbard knocking her out. So she's had some
bad experiences in debates. She'll have to put that behind
her too.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
She has.

Speaker 11 (31:53):
But the last time we've seen her on the debate
stage actually was four years ago when she went toe
to toe with Mike Head and did much better vice president.
And she did much better in that regard. So this
is not Mike punts Mike Pence. Mike Pence is your traditional,
you know debater, someone who's trained in the law. This
is not Donald Trump. Donald Trump throws out all kinds

(32:16):
of you know, punches, so to speak. And I think
that's what she needs to prepare for as she gets
ready for this upcoming debate.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
As we always remind people, you just want to have
a good moment or two avoid a really bad moment.
You can't win an election with a debate, but as
Joe Biden proved, you can lose one one week away.
And that's the preview with John Decker all right after
a US Open weekend, Good to see you. Good to
talk to you. Well, talk again tomorrow. I hope we're
all in this together. This is your morning show with

(32:46):
Michael hild Show enough
