Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live, but we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well two three starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Because we're in the stagid.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell. Join seven
minutes after the hour. Thanks for waking up with your
morning show on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. At your service. I have Michael del Journal
Jeffrey Lyons as the controls. And here's what Tuesday, September
tenth is shaping up to look alike. The presidential debate
is tonight from Philadelphia. ABC will be your host, but
(00:49):
it'll be aired on all the major networks eight central,
nine pm Eastern. Tropical Storm fran Scene expected to intensify
into a Category two hurricane and then make landfall along
the Louisiana and North Carolina Supreme Court, says former Independent
presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Junior is to be removed
from the state ballot ahead of the general election. And
(01:09):
last night, if you fell asleep, it was a much
different second half as the forty nine ers pulled away
thirty two to nineteen over the Jets. All right, getting
back to our top story the debate, we had a
terrible story out of Ohio. There's a lot of Haitian
refugees there. They are not assimilating and one was enjoying
a cat that she had found and was eating it.
(01:32):
This is the kind of stuff that happens with open borders.
You know, there's illegal immigration, which is a real problem,
and then there's legal immigration that we never address in
the country, and they both kind of reared their ugly head. Also,
how prominent will foreign policy play in the debate tonight?
After all, the winner is going to be the commander
in chief joining us as Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano from
(01:54):
the Heritage Foundation, one of the largest thing tanks in
the world. Good morning, Lieutenant Colonel.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I'd like this actually before we go off on stuff,
is actually start by talking about legal immigration, because what
a lot of people may not know because having worked
a lot with the administration and and have a lot
of discussion with them about what's the agenda for the
second term with Trump as president. I mean, Trump had
(02:22):
a very serious plan. Phase one was secure the border,
the poor people reduced to immigration, give the American people
confidence that you have control over this process, which.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Is necessary before you get to legal immigration, right.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
And then that led to phase two, which was not amnesty,
which is always off the table because amnesty just incentivizes
more illegal immigration. It's not solutions for anything, it just
compounds your problem. But his solution was, once I have
gained the confidence of American people that I have controlled
the border and illegal immigration, we're going to move on
the legal migration. And what we're going to do is
(03:02):
we're going to modernize the American immigration system to make
it borrowing from other countries with successfully did this process
and breaking away from the tradition of like chain migration,
these lotteries, these you know, let people come here and
(03:23):
then just like all these kind of ways, we're just
bringing members in the country. And that's focusing on who
are we bringing in, what do they bring to the table.
And it's basically moving to a system of basically a
point system of what value do you bring to the
American society.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
And it's a system that was run by Canada's run
by Australia, and it was a real revolution and they
they had a very very serious plan and they were
just waiting to get re elected to drop it. My
guess is if Trump is re elected, he will go
back and we'll have a you know, to be like
(04:05):
one of those reruns.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Right. The first thing he'll do is he will jump in.
He will secure the border, he will start deporting people
and get a controllabilitygal immigration. He will turn a Latin
America on all the pipelines that are fundling people here
and start to shut him down, and the countries that
support him, like Venezuela, start to shut him down, and
then you know, he's only a one term president. But
then hopefully the next president will then be able to
(04:29):
address legal migration, which is you know, look, migration is
never the solution to the American having a robust population
and workforce. You know, part of that is you just
have to have families and educate people and grow them
in to be responsible adults. But migration is an important
contributor to society if it's done right and that's something
(04:52):
we're going to need for long term sustain growth in
the United States.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You know, it's shocking to me that America can't, whether
it's republ BO or Democrat, left or right, just look
at the border and see it for what it is.
That's shocking to me. But having said that, normally I
would I would phrase it this way. Most should see
(05:16):
how a legal immigration is a failure, but many and
virtually all don't see how we're failing at legal immigration.
I had a great example of that. A guy who
was in the British Army, decorated soldier throughout the Gulf War,
came here, started a restaurant, was employing thirty five to
(05:37):
fifty people. It was a very successful restaurant, and they
ripped him away from his family and made him go
back to Great Britain. I mean, here's the kind of
guy you want here. This is the kind of you know,
character and faith and service and entrepreneurship. So I don't
think America realized how broke, how broken our legal immigration
(05:57):
system is. They can't even get their arms around the
illegal portion of it.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
And the weight lines are atrocious, and the processing is atrocious,
and Biden thinks, hey, you want more people here, you
want to bring more voters, democratic voters here. Fine, just
do it legally and just reform the legal system and
bring them in. You could, we could bring people in
a lot more efficiently. Why do you just do that?
And so they got into this illegal migration kick because
this was a this was a promise. The oh the
(06:24):
Soros crowd. And now you have and your point about
I know people have different views, and nobody has a
different views. No, nobody in America both possibly believes that
our border is not broken, and we have a monumental problem.
Even Harris can't look people in the eye and say, oh,
everything's fine. And her says, I'll just I'll solve it. Okay,
So she finally put out her policy thing, and how
(06:46):
is she going to solve it. She's going to give
everybody amnesty. We look, we did this in eighty five.
That didn't work.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's right up there with negotia. It's right up there
with negotiating with terrorists and then not expecting more hostages
in the future. As Richard Nixon would say, I've coined
this phrase, and David Sinatti loved it. But there are
certain politicians that, and I say things like, well, the
idea of them is so much better than the real them,
you know what. Ted Cruz is a great example of that.
(07:13):
Then there are some people they don't quite fall under that.
It's just I can't look at them and I can't
hear their voice, and so I have a completely different
experience when I'm reading about, you know, reading a book
they wrote versus watching them on with Hannity or something.
And Pat Buchanan, like nud Gingrich is one of those.
Pat Buchanan wrote a great book about a melting culture. Uh,
we were meant to be a melting pot, meaning and
(07:36):
you're Italian, so I know you can relate to this.
Uh my Italian grandparents. And I resent them for this
because now I'm having to try to learn how to
speak Italian. They could speak Italian. You know, you lived
it right, They could speak Italian. Spent they'd be speaking Italian.
But if we did, smacked right across the face, because
(07:56):
they knew that they sacrificed their entire wishes, dreams and
future for future generations and they want They forced us
to assimilate. You are not Italian. They used to tell
us you're an American and we would want to be
Italian like them. So assimilation is huge and fairness is huge.
(08:17):
And of course who you allow in that makes you better.
But no matter who it is, they have to assimilate.
They can't bring their gods and their way of life
that has failed them and sent them into exile. Here
we I'm telling you, as broken as our illegal immigration
system is, is our legal immigration system. And America Canadom
(08:37):
and get past the basics and security to get to that.
And they better in a hurry or there's gonna be
morens lot in the streets.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
No, I mean a lot of this actually, you know,
goes back to the state. Okay, But because people the
virtue of American migration as opposed to European migration is
in Europe, people remained, you know, they stuck in their
class and they stuck in their tribe. So the same
people in the same class went to the same parts
(09:05):
of Europe and they settled with people from their countries
that they came from, and they did exactly the same thing.
And that's why European migration really never never. Assimilation in
Europe is always problematic. In the US, the model was different.
You went and people dispersed to different parts of the country,
and you know, they they and they moved up the chain,
you know, the American dream. They started low costs, they
(09:27):
moved to middle class or anything else, and so and
so what you had is liberal States essentially under the
thing multiculturalism, where they had people come in and they
not only encouraged them, and they created this idea, just
build your own community. And so we have these Muslim communities,
you know in uh and the Somalia community is a
(09:48):
perfect example. They all went to one place and they
recommated a little Somalia and what do their politics look like?
A little Somalia? And what's virtuous and good about the
politics and Somalia?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
And the answer is nothing.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
So you know I predicted this, right, you know I
said this. I may have said this on your show.
I will not be surprised that if in ten years
we have a major Islamist political party in the United States,
if we don't change our way we do business.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well, you might say you already do in proxy. Right now,
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano is joining us. There's a great
movie called and you, of all people, need to watch it.
The Feast of The Seven Fishes comes out every Christmas,
of course, it's available on Netflix all year long. And
it's a great story about the Feast of Seven Fishes
tradition and Italian families and eating on Christmas Eve and
all that. But buried in that movie is this drama
(10:39):
throughout of this kid that wants to go to art
school but you can't. And then the grandfather sits him
down and he talks about how his father came and
worked from Italy, worked in the mines, died because of
the mines. Halfway through his working in the mines, the
grandfather was working in the mines, and that father worked
double shifts so that he could open up a store,
(11:00):
a store that he handed to his son. And then
he's talking to the grandson saying, you want to go
to art school. This is why we did it all.
This is why my my father worked in the mind
so I could open a store, so your father could
run the store, so you could take a shot and
go to art school. Go live your dream. It's the
most powerful point of a very great movie that's other
than that nostalgic and that's immigration.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah go ahead, yeah no, because I gotta tell you this,
because here's the funny thing, right, So all my cousins
grew up in the Bronx, and in a Bronx who
was still a very Italian neighborhood back then. So all
my cousins grew up speaking Italians, and you know what,
today they're fine citizens. So apparently not letting your kids
learn a foreign language, you know, is not actually preventing
(11:43):
them from it, soliarly, because because everything else right, it wasn't.
It's not just about language, right, It's about education and
opportunity and the values and everything that creates a society.
And then we've taken I'm just this is I'm not
you know me, I'm not folks. But if you go
to a blue stake, they've taken all that away in
the nature of season political power, and they give you
(12:06):
things that guarantee that you can't succeed in America. So
you're dependent on them for your success and power and Authorityum.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
How DoD we lose the American dream? We forgot it
and we ward against it, and now we're wondering where
it went. By the way, your family didn't do bad.
West Point graduate went on to be a lieutenant colonel
in service country faithfully for decades and still does all
right tonight in the last thirty seconds. According to The
Washington Post, the goal for Kamala Harris is to define
(12:34):
herself as something new and not more of the same.
The polls suggest that's impossible, but this is a race
to be Commander in Chief. Ken Kamala Harris distanced herself
from the terrible foreign policy of her and Joe Biden's administration.
And how much do you expect it to come up
in the debate tonight?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
No? And domestic policies no better. I just find it
very difficult to believe that in the Americans aren't going
to vote on bread and butter issues. And on the
bread and butter issues, you have two very stark different
choices here, and I just don't think a debate is
going to change that.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafinal, thank you so much for your time.
You can read his great work and his Collie's great
work at Heritage dot org. We'll talk again next week
or sooner if conditions warrant. This is your morning show
with Michael de Chuna. These are your top five stories
of the day. I think you know what Number one
(13:35):
Politics takes center stage tonight. Mark Mayfield with the preview.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are getting ready for their
high stakes debate tonight. The event has heightened importance from
the New Sianna College New York Times poll showing the
race in the dead heat. It's likely to be their
only debate before election day in November. It's taking place
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the state that could determine who wins
the presidency. ABC News is the host, but every network
will kerrey at starting at nine pm Eastern, and it
(14:02):
won't have an audience, live microphones or written notes for
the candidates. And the senior senator from Texas is weighing
in on tonight's presidential debate between former President Donald Trump
and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Well, I think he needs to let Kamala Harris talk,
something she's been reluctant to do unless she's reading a teleprompter.
And I think, you know, we've seen the polls very close,
but mainly she's coming off of this as James carr
Will called it a sugar high.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Senator John Cornan told Fox New Sunday that he was
impressed with President Trump's debate performance against President Biden and
expects to see a similar performance against Harris.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
That's politics. I'm Mark Neefield. He was known as the
voice of Darth Vader. Some knew miss the voice of CNN.
I loved him best in Field of Dreams. Actor James
Earl Jones has died at the age of ninety three,
Lisa Taylor reports.
Speaker 8 (14:51):
According to multiple sources, he was born in rural Mississippi
in nineteen thirty one and was raised by his mother
and grandparents. As a child, Jones developed ablitating stutter.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You never go really, you simply learn how to work
around it.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
You know.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
He debuted on Broadway in nineteen fifty seven in The
Great White Hope, which was turned into a movie.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Because every time you pushed that pinched up face in
front of me, I see Webbin gott that.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
It was a two and a half hour voiceover role
that changed everything.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I am the Father.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
He was most well known for being the voice of
Star Warsville and Darth Vader. He also starred in films
such as The Sandlot, The Hunt for Red October, and
Field of Dreams.

Jones passed away at his home in New York Ainley
Se Taylor.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
The Biden administration is announcing a new rule in an
effort to bring mental health insurance benefits up to the
same level as those of physical health. Michael Castner has details.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
President Biden said in a statement that mental healthcare 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, Health, Parody
and Addiction Equity Act. A White House Domestic policy advisor
says around one hundred seventy five million Americans with private
(16:07):
insurance could benefit from the new rule.

waking up the debates tonight, as if you didn't know,
ABC will host in Philadelphia to be on all the
major networks. Tropical Storm Franccene. Oh, Mike McKinnon maybe sounded
a little underwater tomorrow. We need to check on him.
Perald Jordian a good part. Tropical Storm Francene expected to
intensify to a Category two hurricane before making landfall in
(18:43):
Louisiana later tomorrow, and former Governor Andrew Como will testify
on Capitol Hill today for his responses, especially concerning nursing
homes during the COVID nineteen pandemic. We'll have more on
all of that as your morning show continues, But first
things first. I you know, Aaron, I warned you, I'm
not gonna probably like this story. I'm gonna take probably
(19:04):
the high road. Look, the Bible says God hates divorce,
and of course he does. We all should hate divorce,
and I don't know that it's anything to celebrate, especially
with children. I can tell you that God does move
on for those of you they've gotten divorce, and you
can get it right the next time. But the story
is more people are celebrating their divorce with a party.
Why people celebrate their breakup of their marriage, and it
(19:26):
can actually be therapeutic, all right, So give me the
pro This is like Andrew trying to convince me to
celebrate Halloween. It's a tough sell, but go for it.
Speaker 11 (19:34):
Yeah, listen, I'm not like trying to sell this. I'm
just gonna go with the datta here.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
No, you know what, I want to interrupt and say this,
if anything should happen in your marriage, we're definitely taking
your side. We're gonna be friends with you, just so
you know, but don't never call me with that.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
Disappointing is that I always say with every marriage, unless
there's something categorically unacceptable like beating or you know, verbal abuse,
things like that, it's usually like, yeah, both parties are
probab wrong on some level.
Speaker 9 (20:01):
Right.
Speaker 11 (20:02):
Apparently there is this huge increase in parties for divorce.
It's not just divorce, though, Americans are throwing parties for
like all sorts of formerly bleak life events, the paying
off debt, vasectomies, you name it, like these major life events.
But like before we were just kind of like cool
and no key about them. Now we're getting down. And
what we know is that more than half of the
(20:25):
of adults in the US, fifty five percent say that
couples stay in bad marriage is too long. This is
according to Pew Research Center. Now this one blew my mind, Michael.
This data. Marriage itself is also losing a lot of
it's a lore because seventy one percent of adults say
that having a job or a career that you enjoy
is very important. To having a fulfilling life. Meanwhile, only
(20:47):
twenty three percent say the same thing about marriage. It's
just a complete cultural shift. And oftentimes we see these
divorce parties. They are like signaling to others that the
decision you made is not shameful, but you take pride
in it, you want to move on that. That's the
rationale behind it. But the one thing that I do
not think is reasonable irrational is the fact that people
(21:09):
are spending on average eleven thousand dollars on these parties.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Gosh, all right, I would say see your first report
on why we're all so unhappy, Doug, because I'm going
to bring up what Paul taught in Romans twelve to one.
After giving all the legal case, as only an attorney could,
he gets to the word therefore. And I love therefors
in life because if you're lazy like me, you can
just skip to the therefore. Let my wife the attorney,
(21:35):
read the first eleven chapters. I'm going to get right
to the theref and the therefore is don't conform to the
patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing
of your mind. If you're taking cues from culture, you
should see two very large crises on the horizon. One,
we are unsustainable as an economy government from its entitlement
(21:56):
program standpoint. We are unsustainable because we have a birth
crisis in this country, one very similar to what China
has just gone through. And you know, because you read
these stories over and over again, fewer and fewer for
whatever fear or whatever Q culture has given them. Probably
the biggest is I don't want to have a child
born into this terrible world, or it's global warming, and
(22:18):
they're gonna act say, oh, and we got to you know,
it's all every man for himself. But people are planning
on two things, not having children and not getting married.
And I would suggest to you they're missing out on
everything that is glorious in life and doing so. And
I you know, look, divorce happens. I get it. I'm
not judging anyone. I don't know that it's anything to
(22:40):
have a party with. And in this economic climate, I
don't know if it's anything worth spending thirteen or eleven
grand on. That's for sure.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
That one.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
I was like, really, I just thought.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
What would you do if you've got that invite?
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Would you go?
Speaker 11 (22:51):
I think you have a dinner invite friends. No, I
was like, eleven thousand dollars, Like, what are you doing?
Move on with your life?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
No, it's that's a lot of different service money.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
But I mean if you had a friend going through
a divorce I have. I have two good friends that
just went through a divorce, and if one of them
through a party and invited me, I would not go.
There's nothing to celebrate, and there's children involved. I'm wishing
them both the best and I'm praying for both of them,
and I understand what happened and all that, but it's
not a party celebration. I don't think. I don't think
i'd go. But what kind of stuff are they doing
at the party?
Speaker 11 (23:22):
That's a great question upon her one oneself. Like, listen,
if it was one of my closest friends they got divorced,
I'd be there for them. Absolutely, I'd be like, are
you sure you want to do that?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
You should?
Speaker 11 (23:32):
Like, why don't I just move on?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Like why don't we go to dinner?
Speaker 11 (23:34):
Maybe we can even go on a little holiday together,
but like, you won't through a party.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Really, well, that's what America is doing just the side
at the times. It's a real reality whether we like
it or not.
Speaker 11 (23:44):
Right, I'm very true.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I'm really pushing that like I'm pushing that. I'm pushing
that like fetch and it's not happening. You don't get fetched,
do you?
Speaker 11 (23:55):
That's from mean girls?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
So you got it, Aaron, real great report today. We'll
talk again tomorrow, all right, if you're just waking up,
I think I will. I think you know what all
the top five stories of the day are. I know
you know what del moro hudo is. America is preparing
for the big debate tonight. Mark Mayfield has Our Road
to the White House. Road to the White House. Twenty
(24:17):
twenty four.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
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 (24:25):
Don't call her names, just stick to the issues.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
This Pennsylvania voter wants to learn more about Kamala Harris
during the debate.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
I hope to learn a lot of good things about
her and what her plans are to help us.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
The event has heightened importance with the new Sienna College
at New York Times poll showing the race and a
dan heat. 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 (25:00):
Mayfield, thank you, Mark. Now it's my turn, all right. So,
according to The Washington Post this morning, the biggest key
to the game for Kamala Harris is to define herself
as something new, not as just more of the same.
Now that's a tough task, right, How do you distance
yourself from the Biden Harris economy? What your Harris? Or
(25:24):
the failed Biden Harris foreign policy ooh in your Harris,
or the border crisis when you were the tzar of
that border. I mean, you can stage everything theatrically at
a convention, you can create what it'll end up being
remembered as about a two and a half week sugar high.
(25:46):
But as Mark Mayfield just suggested in this New York
Times Siena poll, one, it's a dead heat. Dead heat
means trouble for the Democrats, because if you're in a
dead heat nationwide, you're not faring well in the Swing States.
But here's the worst part. If the Washington Post is correct,
and the key for Kamala Harris tonight is to somehow
(26:08):
define herself as something new, not more of the same.
And she seems to be using flip flopping to do it.
And I have another piece of research from ras Musen
that shows nobody's buying it. But here's what's in that
time Siena poll. Does Kamala Harris represent change or more
of the same? That's central to the question of introducing
(26:31):
herself as something new and not more of the same.
And in the end major change twenty five percent, minor
change fifteen percent. Fifty five percent said she's more of
the same. They're hiding her in plain sight like they
hid Joe in a basement. Are they getting away with it?
Speaker 9 (26:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
They staged a Hollywood presentation at a convention following a
coup of removing Joe Biden. Did it work? This would
suggest no? The reverse is even more frightening. Does Donald
Trump represent change? You know, Donald Trump, the insurrectionist, the rapist,
the criminal, everything wrong, the boogeyman himself. Major change fifty
(27:14):
three percent, minor eight percent, more of the same, only
thirty four percent. Is this over before the debate even
happens When you go inside the tabs, like on the economy,
Trump leads fifty five to forty two percent. On immigration,
he leads fifty three to forty three percent. Whether that's
(27:35):
shockingly close for my taste, One was securing the border,
enforcing the laws. The other created the very crisis we're in.
And it's only a ten point differential. While there are
a lot more Democrats than Republicans, And how would you
rate the economy, only two percent said excellent, forty nine
percent said poor. The Harvard Harris polls even more damning.
(27:57):
Only seventy one percent of blacks are for Harris, and
she sees herself as black. They need to be in
the near ninety percent range to even have a chance
of winning a presidential election. What do they really achieved
from Biden to Harris? Because the numbers, shockingly before this
(28:18):
first debate look the same. Even college educated voters, Harris
only has fifty two percent. These are all numbers they
suggest they can't carry a national election. Of all the
most damning, will Kamala Harris build a wall? And the
(28:39):
answer is nobody believes her translation. They're seeing these flip
flops as mere pandering to win an election. They don't
believe it. You can flip flop all you want, but
it's a two edged, dull sword. One side doesn't believe you,
and for your base, they get disillusion. You're gonna tell
(29:02):
environmental wackos now you're for fracking. You're gonna tell open
border liberals that you now are not hate but love
in favor of securing the border. You disillusion your base,
and you don't do anybody. I bring all this up
to suggest if someone five months from now, assuming it
(29:25):
goes Trump's way, the election was lost in the debate
for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. There's a lot of
evidence before this debate begins, and whatever that is twelve hours,
she's already lost. Now, today maybe a day for debating.
Tomorrow is a day of remembering and honoring. Natalie macgliorre
(29:47):
has that story.
Speaker 10 (29:48):
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 Name Games. The museum will
only be open to family members that day, but at
night anyone nearby will be able to see.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
The tribute in light where the towers once stood.
Speaker 10 (30:09):
Meantime, President Biden and 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 3 (30:21):
I'm Natalie Migliori and DC News Radio.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
This is Andy Hickson, formerly of Nashville, now living in Detroit, Michigan,
thanks to iHeartRadio. My morning show is your morning show.
The Big Story Today on September tenth, The Big Debate Tonight,
hosted by ABC, but on all the major networks. Eighth Central,
nine Eastern Tropical storm fran scene expected to be a
Category two when it makes landfall in Louisiana, and the
(30:50):
forty nine Ers hung on in the second half to
pull away and win thirty two to nineteen over the Jets,
and a new survey is out. I guess this would
be what for Tom Hanks, who claims if Donald Trump wins,
He's going to leave the country. As often these people do, well,
heck I Kamala wins, I may leave the country. Where
do I want to go? Where are the best countries
in the world to go live? Rory O'Neil is here
(31:12):
with his story. Good morning, Rory, Hey.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
Michael, good morning.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
This is the annual survey done by US News and
World Report that takes I think seventy three different metrics
to compile their list of the top countries.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
All right, I want to go to Scotland or Ireland.
How am I looking good? We don't want you in Ireland.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
I'm just going to say that.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Always. You're not even passive aggressive, You're just you're aggressively.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Do we get a vote there? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Switzerland is number one for the third year in a row,
but the US had its highest ranking ever on this survey,
so it goes Switzerland number one.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Japan number two.
Speaker 9 (31:53):
Team USA comes in at number three, up two slots
from last ye.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Year, moving up two big notches to get the Where
is Scotland and Ireland down there?
Speaker 11 (32:03):
I don't think they.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
I think Scotland they have is part of the UK,
which the.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
UK is number eight on here.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
Ireland comes in down a spot, down to number twenty
four this.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Year that's not very good. What about Italy.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Italy does well actually in some of the subcategories, so
overall Italy is fifteenth on the list.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
It's interesting though.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
They also break it down into some fun categories. I
guess you could say things like quality of life. They
say Denmark, Sweden, and Switzerland all have the top quality
of life. But if you have a sense of adventure, Brazil,
Italy at number two, and Greece are the top three.
And for countries that are sort of movers and shakers,
(32:45):
up and coming emerging places number one the UAE, followed
by China and Cutter.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
United Arab Emirates Cutter. You wouldn't take our cutters always
in the news. Wow, that is shocking, all right. So
one thing in common on a lot of those lists
is Switzerland. Now, if you're if you're looking to escape
from high cost of living in taxation, that may not
be the place for you.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
Not the way to go green for green living. They
also rank Switzerland number three on the on the overall list.
But yeah, I mean, there are also some of the
most expensive places to live on the planet. So the
top five Switzerland, Japan, Usa, Canada, and Australia also in there.
Also in the top ten Sweden, Germany, as you said,
the UK at number eight, New Zealand number nine takes
(33:33):
you all day to get there, and then number ten
is Denmark.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
All right, we're gonna we're gonna talk more next hour
about the budget crisis and how that will be solved
by taking us further into debt. No matter which side
wins the debate tonight, the Washington pros sss Harris has
to define herself as something new and not more of
the same. Boy. That's that's a tough task.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
Yeah, so, well, all the pressures on her, right, I mean,
Donald Trump has a pretty steady support number. He doesn't
really fluctuate much in the polls, so it really is
all on her. It's a make or break, you know,
now that the honeymoon is over, she's got to prove it.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Openhill showing now.
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live

Enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well two three starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Because we're in the stagid.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell. Join seven
minutes after the hour. Thanks for waking up with your
morning show on the air and streaming live on your
iHeartRadio app. At your service. I have Michael del Journal
Jeffrey Lyons as the controls. And here's what Tuesday, September
tenth is shaping up to look alike. The presidential debate
is tonight from Philadelphia. ABC will be your host, but
(00:49):
it'll be aired on all the major networks eight central,
nine pm Eastern. Tropical Storm fran Scene expected to intensify
into a Category two hurricane and then make landfall along
the Louisiana and North Carolina Supreme Court, says former Independent
presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Junior is to be removed
from the state ballot ahead of the general election. And
(01:09):
last night, if you fell asleep, it was a much
different second half as the forty nine ers pulled away
thirty two to nineteen over the Jets. All right, getting
back to our top story the debate, we had a
terrible story out of Ohio. There's a lot of Haitian
refugees there. They are not assimilating and one was enjoying
a cat that she had found and was eating it.
(01:32):
This is the kind of stuff that happens with open borders.
You know, there's illegal immigration, which is a real problem,
and then there's legal immigration that we never address in
the country, and they both kind of reared their ugly head. Also,
how prominent will foreign policy play in the debate tonight?
After all, the winner is going to be the commander
in chief joining us as Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano from
(01:54):
the Heritage Foundation, one of the largest thing tanks in
the world. Good morning, Lieutenant Colonel.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I'd like this actually before we go off on stuff,
is actually start by talking about legal immigration, because what
a lot of people may not know because having worked
a lot with the administration and and have a lot
of discussion with them about what's the agenda for the
second term with Trump as president. I mean, Trump had
(02:22):
a very serious plan. Phase one was secure the border,
the poor people reduced to immigration, give the American people
confidence that you have control over this process, which.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Is necessary before you get to legal immigration, right.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
And then that led to phase two, which was not amnesty,
which is always off the table because amnesty just incentivizes
more illegal immigration. It's not solutions for anything, it just
compounds your problem. But his solution was, once I have
gained the confidence of American people that I have controlled
the border and illegal immigration, we're going to move on
the legal migration. And what we're going to do is
(03:02):
we're going to modernize the American immigration system to make
it borrowing from other countries with successfully did this process
and breaking away from the tradition of like chain migration,
these lotteries, these you know, let people come here and
(03:23):
then just like all these kind of ways, we're just
bringing members in the country. And that's focusing on who
are we bringing in, what do they bring to the table.
And it's basically moving to a system of basically a
point system of what value do you bring to the
American society.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
And it's a system that was run by Canada's run
by Australia, and it was a real revolution and they
they had a very very serious plan and they were
just waiting to get re elected to drop it. My
guess is if Trump is re elected, he will go
back and we'll have a you know, to be like
(04:05):
one of those reruns.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Right. The first thing he'll do is he will jump in.
He will secure the border, he will start deporting people
and get a controllabilitygal immigration. He will turn a Latin
America on all the pipelines that are fundling people here
and start to shut him down, and the countries that
support him, like Venezuela, start to shut him down, and
then you know, he's only a one term president. But
then hopefully the next president will then be able to
(04:29):
address legal migration, which is you know, look, migration is
never the solution to the American having a robust population
and workforce. You know, part of that is you just
have to have families and educate people and grow them
in to be responsible adults. But migration is an important
contributor to society if it's done right and that's something
(04:52):
we're going to need for long term sustain growth in
the United States.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
You know, it's shocking to me that America can't, whether
it's republ BO or Democrat, left or right, just look
at the border and see it for what it is.
That's shocking to me. But having said that, normally I
would I would phrase it this way. Most should see
(05:16):
how a legal immigration is a failure, but many and
virtually all don't see how we're failing at legal immigration.
I had a great example of that. A guy who
was in the British Army, decorated soldier throughout the Gulf War,
came here, started a restaurant, was employing thirty five to
(05:37):
fifty people. It was a very successful restaurant, and they
ripped him away from his family and made him go
back to Great Britain. I mean, here's the kind of
guy you want here. This is the kind of you know,
character and faith and service and entrepreneurship. So I don't
think America realized how broke, how broken our legal immigration
(05:57):
system is. They can't even get their arms around the
illegal portion of it.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
And the weight lines are atrocious, and the processing is atrocious,
and Biden thinks, hey, you want more people here, you
want to bring more voters, democratic voters here. Fine, just
do it legally and just reform the legal system and
bring them in. You could, we could bring people in
a lot more efficiently. Why do you just do that?
And so they got into this illegal migration kick because
this was a this was a promise. The oh the
(06:24):
Soros crowd. And now you have and your point about
I know people have different views, and nobody has a
different views. No, nobody in America both possibly believes that
our border is not broken, and we have a monumental problem.
Even Harris can't look people in the eye and say, oh,
everything's fine. And her says, I'll just I'll solve it. Okay,
So she finally put out her policy thing, and how
(06:46):
is she going to solve it. She's going to give
everybody amnesty. We look, we did this in eighty five.
That didn't work.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
It's right up there with negotia. It's right up there
with negotiating with terrorists and then not expecting more hostages
in the future. As Richard Nixon would say, I've coined
this phrase, and David Sinatti loved it. But there are
certain politicians that, and I say things like, well, the
idea of them is so much better than the real them,
you know what. Ted Cruz is a great example of that.
(07:13):
Then there are some people they don't quite fall under that.
It's just I can't look at them and I can't
hear their voice, and so I have a completely different
experience when I'm reading about, you know, reading a book
they wrote versus watching them on with Hannity or something.
And Pat Buchanan, like nud Gingrich is one of those.
Pat Buchanan wrote a great book about a melting culture. Uh,
we were meant to be a melting pot, meaning and
(07:36):
you're Italian, so I know you can relate to this.
Uh my Italian grandparents. And I resent them for this
because now I'm having to try to learn how to
speak Italian. They could speak Italian. You know, you lived
it right, They could speak Italian. Spent they'd be speaking Italian.
But if we did, smacked right across the face, because
(07:56):
they knew that they sacrificed their entire wishes, dreams and
future for future generations and they want They forced us
to assimilate. You are not Italian. They used to tell
us you're an American and we would want to be
Italian like them. So assimilation is huge and fairness is huge.
(08:17):
And of course who you allow in that makes you better.
But no matter who it is, they have to assimilate.
They can't bring their gods and their way of life
that has failed them and sent them into exile. Here
we I'm telling you, as broken as our illegal immigration
system is, is our legal immigration system. And America Canadom
(08:37):
and get past the basics and security to get to that.
And they better in a hurry or there's gonna be
morens lot in the streets.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
No, I mean a lot of this actually, you know,
goes back to the state. Okay, But because people the
virtue of American migration as opposed to European migration is
in Europe, people remained, you know, they stuck in their
class and they stuck in their tribe. So the same
people in the same class went to the same parts
(09:05):
of Europe and they settled with people from their countries
that they came from, and they did exactly the same thing.
And that's why European migration really never never. Assimilation in
Europe is always problematic. In the US, the model was different.
You went and people dispersed to different parts of the country,
and you know, they they and they moved up the chain,
you know, the American dream. They started low costs, they
(09:27):
moved to middle class or anything else, and so and
so what you had is liberal States essentially under the
thing multiculturalism, where they had people come in and they
not only encouraged them, and they created this idea, just
build your own community. And so we have these Muslim communities,
you know in uh and the Somalia community is a
(09:48):
perfect example. They all went to one place and they
recommated a little Somalia and what do their politics look like?
A little Somalia? And what's virtuous and good about the
politics and Somalia?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
And the answer is nothing.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
So you know I predicted this, right, you know I
said this. I may have said this on your show.
I will not be surprised that if in ten years
we have a major Islamist political party in the United States,
if we don't change our way we do business.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Well, you might say you already do in proxy. Right now,
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano is joining us. There's a great
movie called and you, of all people, need to watch it.
The Feast of The Seven Fishes comes out every Christmas,
of course, it's available on Netflix all year long. And
it's a great story about the Feast of Seven Fishes
tradition and Italian families and eating on Christmas Eve and
all that. But buried in that movie is this drama
(10:39):
throughout of this kid that wants to go to art
school but you can't. And then the grandfather sits him
down and he talks about how his father came and
worked from Italy, worked in the mines, died because of
the mines. Halfway through his working in the mines, the
grandfather was working in the mines, and that father worked
double shifts so that he could open up a store,
(11:00):
a store that he handed to his son. And then
he's talking to the grandson saying, you want to go
to art school. This is why we did it all.
This is why my my father worked in the mind
so I could open a store, so your father could
run the store, so you could take a shot and
go to art school. Go live your dream. It's the
most powerful point of a very great movie that's other
than that nostalgic and that's immigration.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yeah go ahead, yeah no, because I gotta tell you this,
because here's the funny thing, right, So all my cousins
grew up in the Bronx, and in a Bronx who
was still a very Italian neighborhood back then. So all
my cousins grew up speaking Italians, and you know what,
today they're fine citizens. So apparently not letting your kids
learn a foreign language, you know, is not actually preventing
(11:43):
them from it, soliarly, because because everything else right, it wasn't.
It's not just about language, right, It's about education and
opportunity and the values and everything that creates a society.
And then we've taken I'm just this is I'm not
you know me, I'm not folks. But if you go
to a blue stake, they've taken all that away in
the nature of season political power, and they give you
(12:06):
things that guarantee that you can't succeed in America. So
you're dependent on them for your success and power and Authorityum.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
How DoD we lose the American dream? We forgot it
and we ward against it, and now we're wondering where
it went. By the way, your family didn't do bad.
West Point graduate went on to be a lieutenant colonel
in service country faithfully for decades and still does all
right tonight in the last thirty seconds. According to The
Washington Post, the goal for Kamala Harris is to define
(12:34):
herself as something new and not more of the same.
The polls suggest that's impossible, but this is a race
to be Commander in Chief. Ken Kamala Harris distanced herself
from the terrible foreign policy of her and Joe Biden's administration.
And how much do you expect it to come up
in the debate tonight?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
No? And domestic policies no better. I just find it
very difficult to believe that in the Americans aren't going
to vote on bread and butter issues. And on the
bread and butter issues, you have two very stark different
choices here, and I just don't think a debate is
going to change that.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafinal, thank you so much for your time.
You can read his great work and his Collie's great
work at Heritage dot org. We'll talk again next week
or sooner if conditions warrant. This is your morning show
with Michael de Chuna. These are your top five stories
of the day. I think you know what Number one
(13:35):
Politics takes center stage tonight. Mark Mayfield with the preview.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are getting ready for their
high stakes debate tonight. The event has heightened importance from
the New Sianna College New York Times poll showing the
race in the dead heat. It's likely to be their
only debate before election day in November. It's taking place
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the state that could determine who wins
the presidency. ABC News is the host, but every network
will kerrey at starting at nine pm Eastern, and it
(14:02):
won't have an audience, live microphones or written notes for
the candidates. And the senior senator from Texas is weighing
in on tonight's presidential debate between former President Donald Trump
and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Well, I think he needs to let Kamala Harris talk,
something she's been reluctant to do unless she's reading a teleprompter.
And I think, you know, we've seen the polls very close,
but mainly she's coming off of this as James carr
Will called it a sugar high.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Senator John Cornan told Fox New Sunday that he was
impressed with President Trump's debate performance against President Biden and
expects to see a similar performance against Harris.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
That's politics. I'm Mark Neefield. He was known as the
voice of Darth Vader. Some knew miss the voice of CNN.

According to multiple sources, he was born in rural Mississippi
in nineteen thirty one and was raised by his mother
and grandparents. As a child, Jones developed ablitating stutter.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
You never go really, you simply learn how to work
around it.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
You know.
Speaker 8 (15:04):
He debuted on Broadway in nineteen fifty seven in The
Great White Hope, which was turned into a movie.

I am the Father.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
He was most well known for being the voice of
Star Warsville and Darth Vader. He also starred in films

Speaker 1 (15:37):
The Biden administration is announcing a new rule in an
effort to bring mental health insurance benefits up to the
same level as those of physical health. Michael Castner has details.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
President Biden said in a statement that mental healthcare 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, Health, Parody
and Addiction Equity Act. A White House Domestic policy advisor
says around one hundred seventy five million Americans with private
(16:07):
insurance could benefit from the new rule.

we've grown to Sacramento, Memphis, Washington, d C, Dallas, Seattle, Tampa,
Saint Louis, Portland, but you know, it all began in
Nashville and October, and then we added Tulsa, Oklahoma in
November and we got some great news and Telsa, Oklahoma.
(18:00):
Starting this morning, you can hear thirteen hundred The Patriot
now on FM at ninety three point five and at
one oh six point one on HD two, And that
ninety three point five is a great signal. So now
you can enjoy me with or without static and tell
so Oklahoma congratulations. More ways to enjoy The Patriot and
your morning show and tells Oklahoma right if you're just
(18:22):
waking up the debates tonight, as if you didn't know,
ABC will host in Philadelphia to be on all the
major networks. Tropical Storm Franccene. Oh, Mike McKinnon maybe sounded
a little underwater tomorrow. We need to check on him.
Perald Jordian a good part. Tropical Storm Francene expected to
intensify to a Category two hurricane before making landfall in
(18:43):
Louisiana later tomorrow, and former Governor Andrew Como will testify
on Capitol Hill today for his responses, especially concerning nursing
homes during the COVID nineteen pandemic. We'll have more on
all of that as your morning show continues, But first
things first. I you know, Aaron, I warned you, I'm
not gonna probably like this story. I'm gonna take probably
(19:04):
the high road. Look, the Bible says God hates divorce,
and of course he does. We all should hate divorce,
and I don't know that it's anything to celebrate, especially
with children. I can tell you that God does move
on for those of you they've gotten divorce, and you
can get it right the next time. But the story
is more people are celebrating their divorce with a party.
Why people celebrate their breakup of their marriage, and it
(19:26):
can actually be therapeutic, all right, So give me the
pro This is like Andrew trying to convince me to
celebrate Halloween. It's a tough sell, but go for it.
Speaker 11 (19:34):
Yeah, listen, I'm not like trying to sell this. I'm
just gonna go with the datta here.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
No, you know what, I want to interrupt and say this,
if anything should happen in your marriage, we're definitely taking
your side. We're gonna be friends with you, just so
you know, but don't never call me with that.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
Disappointing is that I always say with every marriage, unless
there's something categorically unacceptable like beating or you know, verbal abuse,
things like that, it's usually like, yeah, both parties are
probab wrong on some level.
Speaker 9 (20:01):
Right.
Speaker 11 (20:02):
Apparently there is this huge increase in parties for divorce.
It's not just divorce, though, Americans are throwing parties for
like all sorts of formerly bleak life events, the paying
off debt, vasectomies, you name it, like these major life events.
But like before we were just kind of like cool
and no key about them. Now we're getting down. And
what we know is that more than half of the
(20:25):
of adults in the US, fifty five percent say that
couples stay in bad marriage is too long. This is
according to Pew Research Center. Now this one blew my mind, Michael.
This data. Marriage itself is also losing a lot of
it's a lore because seventy one percent of adults say
that having a job or a career that you enjoy
is very important. To having a fulfilling life. Meanwhile, only
(20:47):
twenty three percent say the same thing about marriage. It's
just a complete cultural shift. And oftentimes we see these
divorce parties. They are like signaling to others that the
decision you made is not shameful, but you take pride
in it, you want to move on that. That's the
rationale behind it. But the one thing that I do
not think is reasonable irrational is the fact that people
(21:09):
are spending on average eleven thousand dollars on these parties.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Gosh, all right, I would say see your first report
on why we're all so unhappy, Doug, because I'm going
to bring up what Paul taught in Romans twelve to one.
After giving all the legal case, as only an attorney could,
he gets to the word therefore. And I love therefors
in life because if you're lazy like me, you can
just skip to the therefore. Let my wife the attorney,
(21:35):
read the first eleven chapters. I'm going to get right
to the theref and the therefore is don't conform to the
patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing
of your mind. If you're taking cues from culture, you
should see two very large crises on the horizon. One,
we are unsustainable as an economy government from its entitlement
(21:56):
program standpoint. We are unsustainable because we have a birth
crisis in this country, one very similar to what China
has just gone through. And you know, because you read
these stories over and over again, fewer and fewer for
whatever fear or whatever Q culture has given them. Probably
the biggest is I don't want to have a child
born into this terrible world, or it's global warming, and
(22:18):
they're gonna act say, oh, and we got to you know,
it's all every man for himself. But people are planning
on two things, not having children and not getting married.
And I would suggest to you they're missing out on
everything that is glorious in life and doing so. And
I you know, look, divorce happens. I get it. I'm
not judging anyone. I don't know that it's anything to
(22:40):
have a party with. And in this economic climate, I
don't know if it's anything worth spending thirteen or eleven
grand on. That's for sure.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
That one.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
I was like, really, I just thought.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
What would you do if you've got that invite?
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Would you go?
Speaker 11 (22:51):
I think you have a dinner invite friends. No, I
was like, eleven thousand dollars, Like, what are you doing?
Move on with your life?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
No, it's that's a lot of different service money.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
No.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
But I mean if you had a friend going through
a divorce I have. I have two good friends that
just went through a divorce, and if one of them
through a party and invited me, I would not go.
There's nothing to celebrate, and there's children involved. I'm wishing
them both the best and I'm praying for both of them,
and I understand what happened and all that, but it's
not a party celebration. I don't think. I don't think
i'd go. But what kind of stuff are they doing
at the party?
Speaker 11 (23:22):
That's a great question upon her one oneself. Like, listen,
if it was one of my closest friends they got divorced,
I'd be there for them. Absolutely, I'd be like, are
you sure you want to do that?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
You should?
Speaker 11 (23:32):
Like, why don't I just move on?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Like why don't we go to dinner?
Speaker 11 (23:34):
Maybe we can even go on a little holiday together,
but like, you won't through a party.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Really, well, that's what America is doing just the side
at the times. It's a real reality whether we like
it or not.
Speaker 11 (23:44):
Right, I'm very true.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I'm really pushing that like I'm pushing that. I'm pushing
that like fetch and it's not happening. You don't get fetched,
do you?
Speaker 11 (23:55):
That's from mean girls?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
So you got it, Aaron, real great report today. We'll
talk again tomorrow, all right, if you're just waking up,
I think I will. I think you know what all
the top five stories of the day are. I know
you know what del moro hudo is. America is preparing
for the big debate tonight. Mark Mayfield has Our Road
to the White House. Road to the White House. Twenty
(24:17):
twenty four.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
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 (24:25):
Don't call her names, just stick to the issues.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
This Pennsylvania voter wants to learn more about Kamala Harris
during the debate.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
I hope to learn a lot of good things about
her and what her plans are to help us.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
The event has heightened importance with the new Sienna College
at New York Times poll showing the race and a
dan heat. 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 (25:00):
Mayfield, thank you, Mark. Now it's my turn, all right. So,
according to The Washington Post this morning, the biggest key
to the game for Kamala Harris is to define herself
as something new, not as just more of the same.
Now that's a tough task, right, How do you distance
yourself from the Biden Harris economy? What your Harris? Or
(25:24):
the failed Biden Harris foreign policy ooh in your Harris,
or the border crisis when you were the tzar of
that border. I mean, you can stage everything theatrically at
a convention, you can create what it'll end up being
remembered as about a two and a half week sugar high.
(25:46):
But as Mark Mayfield just suggested in this New York
Times Siena poll, one, it's a dead heat. Dead heat
means trouble for the Democrats, because if you're in a
dead heat nationwide, you're not faring well in the Swing States.
But here's the worst part. If the Washington Post is correct,
and the key for Kamala Harris tonight is to somehow
(26:08):
define herself as something new, not more of the same.
And she seems to be using flip flopping to do it.
And I have another piece of research from ras Musen
that shows nobody's buying it. But here's what's in that
time Siena poll. Does Kamala Harris represent change or more
of the same? That's central to the question of introducing
(26:31):
herself as something new and not more of the same.
And in the end major change twenty five percent, minor
change fifteen percent. Fifty five percent said she's more of
the same. They're hiding her in plain sight like they
hid Joe in a basement. Are they getting away with it?
Speaker 9 (26:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:50):
They staged a Hollywood presentation at a convention following a
coup of removing Joe Biden. Did it work? This would
suggest no? The reverse is even more frightening. Does Donald
Trump represent change? You know, Donald Trump, the insurrectionist, the rapist,
the criminal, everything wrong, the boogeyman himself. Major change fifty
(27:14):
three percent, minor eight percent, more of the same, only
thirty four percent. Is this over before the debate even
happens When you go inside the tabs, like on the economy,
Trump leads fifty five to forty two percent. On immigration,
he leads fifty three to forty three percent. Whether that's
(27:35):
shockingly close for my taste, One was securing the border,
enforcing the laws. The other created the very crisis we're in.
And it's only a ten point differential. While there are
a lot more Democrats than Republicans, And how would you
rate the economy, only two percent said excellent, forty nine
percent said poor. The Harvard Harris polls even more damning.
(27:57):
Only seventy one percent of blacks are for Harris, and
she sees herself as black. They need to be in
the near ninety percent range to even have a chance
of winning a presidential election. What do they really achieved
from Biden to Harris? Because the numbers, shockingly before this
(28:18):
first debate look the same. Even college educated voters, Harris
only has fifty two percent. These are all numbers they
suggest they can't carry a national election. Of all the
most damning, will Kamala Harris build a wall? And the
(28:39):
answer is nobody believes her translation. They're seeing these flip
flops as mere pandering to win an election. They don't
believe it. You can flip flop all you want, but
it's a two edged, dull sword. One side doesn't believe you,
and for your base, they get disillusion. You're gonna tell
(29:02):
environmental wackos now you're for fracking. You're gonna tell open
border liberals that you now are not hate but love
in favor of securing the border. You disillusion your base,
and you don't do anybody. I bring all this up
to suggest if someone five months from now, assuming it
(29:25):
goes Trump's way, the election was lost in the debate
for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. There's a lot of
evidence before this debate begins, and whatever that is twelve hours,
she's already lost. Now, today maybe a day for debating.
Tomorrow is a day of remembering and honoring. Natalie macgliorre
(29:47):
has that story.
Speaker 10 (29:48):
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 Name Games. The museum will
only be open to family members that day, but at
night anyone nearby will be able to see.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
The tribute in light where the towers once stood.
Speaker 10 (30:09):
Meantime, President Biden and 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 3 (30:21):
I'm Natalie Migliori and DC News Radio.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
This is Andy Hickson, formerly of Nashville, now living in Detroit, Michigan,
thanks to iHeartRadio. My morning show is your morning show.
The Big Story Today on September tenth, The Big Debate Tonight,
hosted by ABC, but on all the major networks. Eighth Central,
nine Eastern Tropical storm fran scene expected to be a
Category two when it makes landfall in Louisiana, and the
(30:50):
forty nine Ers hung on in the second half to
pull away and win thirty two to nineteen over the Jets,
and a new survey is out. I guess this would
be what for Tom Hanks, who claims if Donald Trump wins,
He's going to leave the country. As often these people do, well,
heck I Kamala wins, I may leave the country. Where
do I want to go? Where are the best countries
in the world to go live? Rory O'Neil is here
(31:12):
with his story. Good morning, Rory, Hey.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
Michael, good morning.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
This is the annual survey done by US News and
World Report that takes I think seventy three different metrics
to compile their list of the top countries.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
All right, I want to go to Scotland or Ireland.
How am I looking good? We don't want you in Ireland.
Speaker 9 (31:33):
I'm just going to say that.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Always. You're not even passive aggressive, You're just you're aggressively.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Do we get a vote there? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (31:43):
Switzerland is number one for the third year in a row,
but the US had its highest ranking ever on this survey,
so it goes Switzerland number one.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Japan number two.
Speaker 9 (31:53):
Team USA comes in at number three, up two slots
from last ye.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Year, moving up two big notches to get the Where
is Scotland and Ireland down there?
Speaker 11 (32:03):
I don't think they.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
I think Scotland they have is part of the UK,
which the.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
UK is number eight on here.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
Ireland comes in down a spot, down to number twenty
four this.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Year that's not very good. What about Italy.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Italy does well actually in some of the subcategories, so
overall Italy is fifteenth on the list.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
It's interesting though.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
They also break it down into some fun categories. I
guess you could say things like quality of life. They
say Denmark, Sweden, and Switzerland all have the top quality
of life. But if you have a sense of adventure, Brazil,
Italy at number two, and Greece are the top three.
And for countries that are sort of movers and shakers,
(32:45):
up and coming emerging places number one the UAE, followed
by China and Cutter.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
United Arab Emirates Cutter. You wouldn't take our cutters always
in the news. Wow, that is shocking, all right. So
one thing in common on a lot of those lists
is Switzerland. Now, if you're if you're looking to escape
from high cost of living in taxation, that may not
be the place for you.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
Not the way to go green for green living. They
also rank Switzerland number three on the on the overall list.
But yeah, I mean, there are also some of the
most expensive places to live on the planet. So the
top five Switzerland, Japan, Usa, Canada, and Australia also in there.
Also in the top ten Sweden, Germany, as you said,
the UK at number eight, New Zealand number nine takes
(33:33):
you all day to get there, and then number ten
is Denmark.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
All right, we're gonna we're gonna talk more next hour
about the budget crisis and how that will be solved
by taking us further into debt. No matter which side
wins the debate tonight, the Washington pros sss Harris has
to define herself as something new and not more of
the same. Boy. That's that's a tough task.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
Yeah, so, well, all the pressures on her, right, I mean,
Donald Trump has a pretty steady support number. He doesn't
really fluctuate much in the polls, so it really is
all on her. It's a make or break, you know,
now that the honeymoon is over, she's got to prove it.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Openhill showing now.
