Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, I'm Michael, and your morning show is heard on
great radio stations across the country like one oh five,
nine twelve fifty w HNZ and Tampa, Florida, News Radio
five seventy WKBN and Youngstown, Ohio and News Radio one
thousand KTOK in Oklahoma City. Love to have you listen
to us live in the morning, and of course we're
so grateful you came for the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Enjoy two three, starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding well, because
we're in this together. This is your morning show with
Michael O'Dell chune.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Come up, I am mama god father to day. Hey France,
big debate tonight, tropical storm turning into a hurricane about
to hit Louisiana, and the forty nine ers were a
hurricane that hit the Jets. Welcome to Tuesday, September the tenth.
You're of Our Lord twenty twenty four on the air
and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your
(01:00):
morning show. I'm Michael del Jornal here to serve you
along with Jeffrey Lyon and may I say I start
today with a full cup of coffee. Well that is good.
I'm so I didn't not so much as sip during
all my time of prep. Really, you can do that.
I don't know why I forgot all about it. So
you're ready to drip, But thanks to my iHeart mug.
(01:21):
How do you get just as warm as when I
poured it? How do you does that come into like
the new employee pack or something when you when you
sign on? No, I I wonder if, like if like
NFL players do that. You know, you get signed by
a team, so so you know you're buying a little merch.
A little over about a year ago, I got signed
by iHeart, and uh, I don't know I was getting
(01:42):
some merch. Yeah, what I did was I surprised my
girls and got them all at my son and got
them sweatshirts. No, I was there. I saw this mug,
but I never expected it to be as I would
sell this over What's Yet. He's probably the what's the
biggest ones right now?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Man?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
The Stanley Cups, the Yet. Yeah, it's like that. But
this is the best one I've ever had. It's just
the perfect size, twelve ounce coffee, and it not only
maintains its temperature for I don't know, how many hours,
because I could not sip this in four hours from
out It's still tastes the same, doesn't keep cooking, and
it'd be just as warm. We should do it a
science experiment one morning. It'll never make it. It's like
(02:19):
licking the lollipops would. Yeah, everybody, of course is probably
going to have the debate on their mind. You ought
to have some thoughts and prayers for everybody down in
Louisiana and all of our insurance premiums as Francine is
intensifying into a category too before making landfall in Louisiana.
We also have the fighting over the budget. You know,
(02:41):
we just spend ourselves more and more. I take that back.
The people you elect in order to get themselves elected,
pander to you. You allow them to pander to you.
You're thirty five trillion dollars in debt and they just
keep spending it further and further into debt. So now
they're fighting over continuing resolution. And then North Carolina did
(03:02):
what Michigan won't do h and has taken Bobby Kennedy.
The Supreme Court ruled I think three to two yesterday,
take Bobby Kennedy off the ballot and Governor CMO will
begin his testimony in Capitol Hill. But really everything's about
the debate, and it's politics taking center stage, and it's
the only stage you're gonna get, all right. Remember Book
(03:24):
of Michael, Chapter three, verse two. They hid Joeth in
plain sight or in a basement. Now if they trieth
to hideth Kamala in plain sight. Uh, so you're only
gonna get one debate. She got a little bit of
I guess a wrinkle thrown at her. Shouldn't be. She
(03:48):
agreed to the same rules that Biden and Trump debated
to so there'll be no studio audience and it'll have
that Kennedy Nixon feel, hopefully not that Trump Biden Field.
There are no notes allowed, and microphones are muted when
you're not talking, and she thought she was gonna be
able to get the live mics. ABC held its ground.
(04:10):
So do they have to like redo their entire strategy,
as Fox would suggest. I don't know. I mean, they
didn't have it all based on that to me, And
this is just me And I'm gonna get to this
setup here in a second, because I really care about
what you think. I'm gonna go straight off the Washington Post,
right from their own mouth, out of the abundance of
(04:31):
their own mouth, they have spoken, Harris must define herself
as something new, not more of the same. That's the
notion that the number one thing she has to achieve
outside of avoid word salads, avoid creepy laughs, avoid being nasty,
(04:51):
came aline. I don't mean that misogynistically. I just mean
she's got a prosecutor sid and then it's just it
just blows up in her face. Look, all debates doesn't
matter who it is or when it happened in this day, television,
day and age, and I might add social media day
(05:12):
and age, because any good moments will be repeated a
million times on social media for the next three days.
Any bad moments will be repeated a million times over
the next three days. So this is more true than ever.
You go into a debate, you want to first and
foremost find a great moment. Let's talk about what a
(05:33):
great moment could be. Well, there you go again for
Ronald Reagan, or how about Lloyd Benson and the camera
angle As we know media's bias now, maybe by design
or maybe just fate. The close up on Lloyd Benson,
(05:54):
who looked like there was a very very evil look
strange Man and Poltergeist, almost like a walking dead looking
human being. Oh the little man that showed up on
the on the front doorstep, I think it was Poulter.
It looked just like Lloyd Benson. I mean Lloyd Benson
looked like he was straight out of a horror film.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
When Lloyd Benson gave you a filthy look, I mean
you cringed you. You literally coward. This man was a timid.
It's kind of like remember Mike Singletary, the middle linebacker
for the Bears. Can't play with him, can't coach them?
That guy. His eyes were big, his cheeks were trembling.
Are you kidding me? Out of God? Ready break and
(06:35):
ran right to the locker room. I don't want anything.
I don't look I can handle big. I'm not that
afraid of big Crazy I'm afraid of I don't want crazy. Yeah,
I don't like crazy. Crazy will get me, you know
What's and elbows out the door. And that's how Lloyd
Benson was. And there's a split screen, and everybody's trying
(06:56):
to make you know because remember what this whole conversation started.
Harris define herself everyone's trying to define dan Quayle as
the next Jack Kennedy, and the moment arises, he walks
into it. The close up is on Benson, but you
can see dan Quayle in the background as Benson goes,
I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. You, sir,
(07:20):
are no Jack Kennedy.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
And that was it.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
That was huge. He was defined forever. So I can't
emphasize enough. Avoid a really bad moment and try to
find a really good moment other than that, lay low
and look in command of what you're talking about. All right,
that's debate one oh one in this particular case, joining
(07:43):
this case in progress. Everybody knows who Donald Trump is
for very good reasons. Most people don't have any idea
who Kamala Harris is. Why do I say that because
she keeps changing her positions? I mean a mic drop
(08:05):
in our Sound of the Day comes from Elon Musk.
We got these Haitians on the street eating cats, people's pets.
Crazy stuff going on, right, that's in the news yesterday.
And then he pops a clip of her bragging about
bringing all these Haitians to America. Why is that a
(08:27):
mic drop because Harris is trying to define herself as
something new and not more of the same, and the
audio is there to show she is the same on
the border, she is the same on bidnomics, and so
for those that are following politics, she can't get away
with it. For those that don't know her, she's got
to try to do that. And Donald Trump should be
(08:49):
sitting there to remind everybody what she's a part of.
And that gets us into a polling today, which is
going to be a big portion of our show. It's
going to be hard presuming she doesn't do great, and
she could. She did at the convention, but that was
with the teleprompter that was Hollywood produced. If she does poorly,
(09:10):
everybody's going to point to the debate cost to the presidency.
And I'm going to tell you every headline today points
to she lost it already. She may have lost it
on her veep choice. That's one of the bigger stories
of the day, a ras Museen finding showing that last
(09:31):
choice of Walls for vice president. It just solidified everybody's
opinion she's too liberal and lost the race before it started.
Here's another one. Harris can't separate herself from the Biden record,
(09:58):
a ras Museen reports survey. While Kamala Harris is now
disavowing some of President Biden's unpopular policies, most voters say
the vice president shares the blame for his failures. They're
a ticket for a reason. Now, this would be the
good news for Kamala. She also shares in the credit
for successes. The problem is, watch the rest of the polling.
(10:20):
There are no successes defined. The latest Rasmus and National
Telephone Poll online survey finds thirty two percent of likely Now,
remember I don't care about polls about Americans. I really
care about only registered likely voters, especially in swing districts. Heck,
swing precincts of swing districts of swing states. But this
(10:44):
is likely registered US voters, meaning they're registered and can vote,
and records show they vote all the time. Thirty two
percent of likely US voters say Harris deserves a lot
of blame for the failure of the Biden policies. Twenty
three percent see her as deserving some of the blame.
(11:09):
Twenty five percent thank Harris doesn't deserve much of the blame,
so some of and we're talking about this border crisis,
when we're talking about this level of inflation, cost of living,
stagnant wages, and debt and housing crisis, when we're talking
about this level of war, whether it's Ukraine and Russia
(11:29):
or really a proxy war with the US and Iran
being played out with Israel and Hamas and Hezbalah and
the Huthis. I got news for you. Thirty two percent
deserve a lot, twenty three percent deserves some some and
a lot being at fifty five percent and twenty five
percent deserving not much of the blame. That's really bad news.
(11:54):
In fact, that strikes to the heart of the question
before she goes in. Heck, she pulls off what she's
got to pull off tonight, I'll respect her because it's herculean.
The Washington Post stated it wisely. She has to define herself.
(12:15):
She's a liberal, she's a flip flopper. And remember she's
been in every situation room with a backbone like a ramrod.
According to Old Joe, how does she distance herself as
not a continuation of this administration? With that kind of
perception watching, it's gonna take a heck of a performance.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael del Chna.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
All that I double click and blow it. Yeah those days,
eh twenty six minutes after the hour, Thanks for waking
up with your morning show. You're you, I'm Michael, and
these are your top five stories of the day. Fellow
Americans are preparing for the debate tonight. Mark Mayfield has
Our Road to the White House.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Road to the White House twenty twenty four. Kamala Harris
and Donald Trump are prepping for their high stakes debate tonight.
This Trump supporter has some advice for the former president.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Don't call her names, just stick to the issues.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
This Pennsylvania voter wants to learn more about Kamala Harris
during the debate.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I hope to learn a lot of good things about
her and what her plans are to help us.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
The event has heightened importance with the New Sianna College
at New York Times poll showing the.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Race and a dan heat.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
It's likely to be their only debate before election Day
in November. It's taking place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a state
that could determine who wins the presidency. ABC News as
the host, but every network will carry it starting at
nine pm Eastern, and it won't have an audience live
microphones or written notes for the candidates.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'm Marknyfield. Well from a historic debate to a historic
launch expected to take place in Florida Space Coast overnight.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Lisa Taylor reports SpaceX as it's targeting at three thirty
eight am liftoff at the Kennedy Space Center for the
historic Polarist Don mission. The launch it's been delayed several
times due to a helium leak and bad weather. Crews
say forecast conditions are currently forty percent favorable for tomorrow,
with a backup available on Wednesday. If everything goes as
planned for civilian astronauts are expected to embark on their
(14:13):
five day journey, where they'll take part in the first
ever commercial spacewalk. I'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Well, there's not much me and Joe agree on, but
this one we might. The Biden administration is announcing a
new rule in an effort to bring mental health insurance
benefits up to the same level as those related to
physical health. We got a mental health issue in America
and we better address it. You're talking at least this
is something Yes, I am. As a matter of fact,
you call me Michael Caster's here with the clarion call.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
President Biden said in a statement that mental health care
is healthcare, but added that critical care and treatments are
out of reach for too many Americans. The new rule
adds to the two thousand and eight Federal Mental Health
Parity and Addiction Equity Act. A White House Domestic policy
advisor says around one hundred seventy five million Americans with
private insurance could bene fit from the new rule.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
I'm Michael Castner. Well. Tonight is the night for debate.
Tomorrow is a day for remembering and honoring. Natalie mcgleori
has more.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
The National September eleventh Memorial and Museum has invited family
members of victims of the two thousand and one and
nineteen ninety three World Trade Center attacks to participate in
this year's reading of the names. The museum will only
be open to family members that day, but at night,
anyone nearby will be able to see the tribute in
light where the towers once stood. Meantime, President Biden and
(15:31):
Vice President Harris plan on visiting the World Trade Center
site in Manhattan, the Flight ninety three Memorial in Shanksville,
and the Pentagon in Virginia. All three locations of the
two thousand and one terrorist attacks.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I'm Natalie mcgleori. Apple is Innergyes radio. Excuse me. Apple
is introducing a lineup of new products, including the iPhone
sixteen and sixteen plus. That'll be the tech Giant, announcing
also the prices seven ninety nine for the sixteen and
eight ninety nine for the sixteenth plus. The company also
anu it's to new Apple Watch series ten, which has
an updated design, AirPod fours along with updated AirPod maxes
(16:06):
and new colors with USBC charging. Yesterday, I spent an
hour and a half of my life trying to get
my face ID to work on my Apple phone. Couldn't
figure it out. It was for an hour and a
half when it kept saying put your face in the frame.
It said, it's in the frame. I'm yelling at it
for an hour and a half. Yeah. My wife grabs
my phone, looks at it, takes her filthy napkins, starts
(16:29):
cleaning the face of the phone where the camera is right.
And then at work, Oh wow, Hi, it's Michael. Your
morning show airs live five to eight am Central, six
to nine Eastern in great cities like Memphis, Tennessee, Telsa, Oklahoma, Sacramento, California.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine,
but we're happier here now. Enjoy the podcast. It's the
big debate. Kin Oh, this is wrong and you're supposed
(16:51):
to be a friend and a brother, Bill Wrights. That's
what happens when you let fat guy use your iPhone.
A half of last day must have been crisp cream
grease on your phone. I it was something probably I
would have guessed spaghetti sauce, you know, probably.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I was saying how I had to redo. I couldn't
get my my face ID to work on my iPhone,
so I'm trying everything. Then I just, you know, according
to Google, delete it and redo it. Well, then I
want to redo it. My face is in the square
and it's not doing anything. And then I hand my
phone to my wife and she just takes a Kleenex
and just wipes the camera off and boom everything them
(17:30):
let me get it.
Speaker 9 (17:31):
It wouldn't have been a Krispy Cream because if any
Krispy Kream dropped, I promised I would have got off.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
No, don't start, don't start, no, please do it.
Speaker 9 (17:40):
Although yesterday I will tell you that my wife, she
made a enzelada capreasy oh wow, which is just Italian
for tomatoes mutzarella cheese with what we used to call the.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Buzz of the gall as much as your bass.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Anyway, she had more moozzarella than tomatoes disproportionately. And we
also had a French bread pizza in the oven, and
I thought, well, why would we make this moods go
to waste? Yeah, so I'd put the excess to moozzerella
on the pizza in the oven. Wow.
Speaker 9 (18:20):
But unfortunately I already had the bolshamic vinegar and oiled.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
The pizza for them. I ate the whole foot, but
get rid of that muc. All right, here's what I
see going on Number one, the debate tonight, and I
have been trying to get a sense of where this
race is at, locked down before the debate because if
things go well, and by the way, I'm not being crazy,
(18:47):
the last debate ended Joe Biden's political career, so people
always you know, I told my son this life is
best understood looking backwards, but unfortunately we got to live
looking for sure. You should have started, Judy and you
to one in fantasy football, but you didn't. You lost.
That's you know, if we could all get tomorrow's newspaper today,
(19:08):
we'd be a lot smarter. So everybody'll be saying the
debate costs of the presidency. And I have massive data
today suggesting she's already lost. And for very specific reasons,
I shared one last half hour for youward listening shameless
podcast plug. Hair shameless podcast plug. Just go to your
iHeartRadio app in the podcast section and type in your
(19:31):
morning show or Michael del Jorno. When it pops up,
it's subscribe. And every day, all three hours commercial free
are waiting for you anyway. But we were showing you
how the Washington Post is saying Kamala Harris must define
herself tonight as something new. First of all, you could
stop before something new and say she needs to define
herself period. She's flip flopped on every issue. That's created
(19:54):
a lot of mistrust. We're going to see that another
piece of research. But she has to define herself as
something new. She can't perceived is more of the same.
And what was the research I showed you? Everyone associates
her with the Biden Harris ticket because she's Harris. Everybody
associates her with the Biden Harris administration cause she's Harris
(20:17):
first on the ticket. She's a situation room like we had.
Here's another example, and this is when you start breaking
down inside the numbers and the cross tabs of the
New Times, New York Times, Siena poll. Does Kamala Harris
(20:38):
represent change or more of the same? All right? This
is flat out all right, can't be disputed. Answering the
question of the Washington Post. The number one goal for
Kamala Harris tonight in the debate is to define herself
as something new and not more of the same. And
yet twenty five percent said major, fifteen percent said minor.
(21:08):
I can't even do it. What am I gonna do it?
Maybe I'll try to sip a coffee. I can't even
do it. Go ahead, I can't do it with a
straight face. All right, let's go go better. Fifty five
percent of the registered voters said she's more of the same.
That's the New York Times, who's also at the cabal
table with the Washington Post. Answering the Washington Post question,
(21:31):
or maybe spurring the Washington Post question. Maybe the Washington
Post read the New York Times research the way I
did and said, hey, she better to find herself as
something new. Kamala Harris lost a debate before it even begins,
because it's true she is more of the same, and
(21:51):
nobody's buying the flip flopping. Now let's do the reverse
of that. You should be interested in this, Jeffrey. What
you're playing with over there? Well, uh, I've got a
lot of things going on over here for you. Does
Trump represent change? Let that sink in for a second.
This is a former president, This is an iconic businessman,
(22:14):
this is a reality TV icon. Everybody knows Donald Trump.
You thay it? Think of all they've done to position
him as an insurrectionist, a nut, a rapist, a felon.
Does Donald Trump represent change? Minor change? Eight percent, more
(22:40):
of the same, thirty four percent change compared to what's
going on right now? Fifty three percent say Donald Trump
represents major change? Now why is that important? Fifty five
percent say Kamala Harris is more of the same. Fifty
three percent say Donald Trump is major change? And what
is America? Focused on the economy, the border, and immigration
(23:04):
and wars of rumors of wars? America wants change? Donald
Trump is the change element. If you go into specifics
like the economy, Trump leads fifty five to forty two percent.
You go to immigration, Trump leads fifty three to forty
three percent. How do you rate the economy? Only two
(23:27):
percent of America? It's the economy stupid, said James Carvel.
Only two percent. My favorite Bret Milk, by the way,
he never asked me that you don't even care, but
I do two percent. I thought, well, boy, I do
two percent, So I get just this two percent of
(23:48):
the gags I didn't mean to do that. You can
get rid of that. He doesn't deserve a bonus after
insulting me. It probably was food on the phone, though.
Two percent say the economy is excellent, twenty one percent
say good, twenty eight percent say fair, forty nine percent
say poor. Anybody in the research business will tell you you'd compare.
You throw out good and fair, or what some people
(24:13):
do is combine good and fair and then combine fair
and poor. I never did that in music research or
personality radio research. I just want to look at excellent
and poor, and it's forty nine percent to two percent.
The perception that the economy is poor, that it's the
number one issue they're facing, and fifty five percent see
(24:35):
her as more of the same. That's ladies and gentlemen.
That is damning research. So oh are you laughing now?
I do like that kabalo. She looks a lot like
Caesar Romero in the Batman series, and I'm strangely attracted
(24:56):
to it. Anyway, make a long story short, that's really
bad news. If anybody tells you she lost the presidency
during that debate, no, I'm here to tell you it's dead.
Even she's losing in the swing stage. She's losing on
the electoral college map. And this is specifically telling you why.
(25:17):
There's another one, a Harvard Harris poll, and in it,
only seventy one percent of Blacks are for Harris, and
she's part black. That's not much of an improvement over
Joe Biden, who fell below seventy percent. That's unheard of.
Many people believe that in a Democrat presidential race, you
(25:40):
got to have ninety percent or better of black vote
to win. She's at seventy one percent. This is what
blew me away. Only fifty two percent of college educated
voters are for Harris. These are unheard of numbers that
paint a real clear picture of pending doom, and it's
going to be hard for to pretend like she hasn't
(26:02):
been a part of the Biden administration when rasmuson shows
fifty five percent of voters believe she deserves a lot
or some of the blame as she's hired. Than that
if you do some of the blame and Donald Trump
is the change element, the outsider again, believe it or not.
(26:26):
There was another very troubling Rasmus and Pull on, will
Kamala build a wall? I like the way they just
chose that one out of the thin blue air. Oh
you think you think build a wall?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Now?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
She's flip flopped everything. No, because they know what it is.
This is just pandering rhetoric to get elected. They still
see her as a liberal. The flip flopping is a
double edged sword, and both both edges are dull because
(26:55):
those you're lying to or trying to deceive, they don't
believe you. And for those that really believe in open borders,
you disillusion that portion of your base. And the thing
could be true for fracking and every other issue she's
flipped flopped on, which leads us to the uh, my
(27:18):
favorite cartoon of the day, which is basically stating that
Kamala Harris probably ought to just debate herself. And it's
a political cartoon. I can't explain it. So it's got
Kamala on the left and Kamala on the right. Kamala
(27:39):
on the.
Speaker 10 (27:40):
Left says, I'm in favor of bandon fracking, abolish ice,
and then the other side is saying I will not banfracking,
increase funding for border enforcement. Then the left one saying
a border wall is a complete waste of taxpayer money.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
The other one is build the wall. I'm calling for
an electric veh commandate. The other thing, I do not
support electric vehicle commandates, defund the police. Heyay, believe it's hilarious.
And by the way, a true political cartoon is hilarious
when it's true. Usually it needs to be exaggerated to
(28:19):
get a big laugh. This is not an exaggeration. Look,
one day we're all going to ask ourselves, when did
Kamala Harris lose this race? If she loses the race,
just remember this morning show as it may not have
been the debate performance. It may have been the performance
leading up to the debate. The bait and switch didn't work.
(28:45):
The hiding and plain sight didn't work. That she's different
from Joe didn't work, and the flip flopping flopped. Hi,
I'm Dennis, Mississippi, and my morning show is your Morning
Show with Michael Dell Dorman. All right, fifty three minutes
(29:06):
after the hour, no more snooze, alarm, about seven minutes
before you've got to get stopped to bed. Welcome to Tuesday,
September the tenth. Everybody's talking about the big debate tonight.
It will be hosted by ABC at nine Eastern, eighth Central,
but it'll be carried on all the major networks from Philadelphia.
Donald Trump versus Kamala Harris. Tropical Storm Francene expected to
intensify into a category two before making landfall, making I
(29:31):
got the hiccups and making landfall in Louisiana.
Speaker 11 (29:34):
Gojha should have had that scotch this morning. Is that
one anchor that we hope? So you're taking your riddling
yet I haven't. No, we don't need this in Louisiana.
All right, two is better than three, four or five.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
But obviously this is going to be some flooding situations
for Louisiana. And Congress has ended to the month long
legislation to keep the government funding fight. That means the
republ because they're going to demand some things. Democrats are
going to demand others, and both of them are going
to get us further into debt. And we got a
(30:07):
little little help from the Supreme Court. In North Carolina
three to two, John Robert F. Kennedy Junior will be
taken off that state ballot. See how I'm stuttering today, Erin,
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
It's a Tuesday. It's hard today.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
It is. I've coined a new phrase for you, Aaron.
Real is the reality for us all next, and that
reality is thank you. Are you and your neighbors happy? Well?
I don't know either of them except the grumpy old
man next door, and I would say we're very unhappy
with each other. What does that tell me?
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Well, that's funny because you are in Tennessee, correct?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Are we one of the look no where the volunteer state?
I bet you we're real happy?
Speaker 5 (30:50):
Yeah? You actually so, the number one volunteer states Utah.
That's kind of not surprising.
Speaker 6 (30:57):
But what we know.
Speaker 5 (30:58):
Tennessee forty seven in terms of states and happiness, you
guys are not towards the top. The only ones further
down West Virginia, Arkansas, and Louisiana. I know, I know
the normal offenders at the top of the list for
happiest states. By the way, wallet Hub, I'll get to
the metrics after. I'll just give you the top five Hawaii, Maryland, Jersey, Utah,
(31:19):
and Delaware. If you gave me those five states and
we're like, what do they all have in common? I
don't think happiness would be my first answer? What about you?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Four to five are blue? So broke comes to mind. Delaware.
I used to drive through Delaware on my way to
New York. No, I can't imagine that. Hawaii. I guess maybe.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
Hawaii makes sense.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
You're like, the others make no sense whatsoever. Well, we're
very well. You know what, there's three you know, there's
three different Tennessees. There's West Tennessee in Memphis, which is
really like North Mississippi in terms of the culture. Then
there's Middle Tennessee, and then there's Eastern Tennessee. But I
would have thought we were two thirds happy, not that
(32:03):
much unhappy. What's making what's what is happy? And what
is unhappy?
Speaker 5 (32:06):
What's making from like divorce rates to income growth, to
unemployment to feeling productive. And then they also look at
share of adults with depression and Tennessee, Tennessee scored very high.
You actually, Tennessee has the most depressed adults statistically, which
I think, bump you.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Well, it's funny you bring that up. I'm not feeling
very good about myself today.
Speaker 5 (32:31):
You seem like the happiest guy I've ever met.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Really, No, I genuinely am. I'm sickeningly happy. Okay, so, uh,
what do we do with this kind of information?
Speaker 5 (32:41):
So the reason that this is important is because it
allows like states and legislators everybody else to ask these
big important questions exactly like what do we do next?
Like how do we engineer social well being? Like what
are the cre a? What are the key ingredients to
a happy life? And then more importantly, how much of
one's happiness is correlated to money or time or community?
(33:06):
And then once you can find those things, you can
start addressing the situation.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
All Right, I gotta do this. I gotta do this
in fifteen seconds.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
Then it's impossible to make change.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
I got to do this in fifteen seconds because the
timer's going to cut us off. Happiness comes from the
word happenstance, meaning circumstances come and go. Your happiness can't
be rooted in that has to be rooted in something
greater than that. This study mainly shows me two things. One,
we got to change what defines whether we're happy or not.
We need a joy that's unspeakable. And then secondly, we've
got to address mental health because that's weird, it's ugly head.
(33:37):
Even in this study, we got to address it the
way we dress physical health. That much today, I agree
with Joe Biden what he's trying to do.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
