Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live on great radio
stations across the country like wilm and w DOOV and
Wilmington and Dover, Delaware, or wgst AM seven twenty the
Voice in Middle Georgia.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
We're going to need some blankets.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
News Radio six fifty k e NI, Anchorage, Alaska. We'd
love to be a part of your morning routine. Now
enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Well two three, Starting your Morning off Right, A new
way of talk, a.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
New way of understanding because we're in the stupid This
is your morning show with Michael Dell georg Starting your
Morning off Right.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
It's six minutes.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
After the hour on this Monday, the twenty third of
September twenty twenty four. This just in from the home offish.
We have an Andreanna right jed Okay. That's a tribute
to Ralph Bristol, who was the morning host at WTN
where I worked in Nashville for sixteen years. His firing
and then Phil's passing and that was it.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I was done with that station.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
But anyway, Ralph and his wife Marianna used to call
into the program and she'd shut him straight, and Ralph
would be like well, not a great white marriad, but
you're just discredited me, so she would always you know, well,
I would mock that by having text messages from my
home offfers and Andrea.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
It's a Speed Queen.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
And by the way, I'd like to I would like
to not pitch myself to be the Speed Queen spokesperson's
your washerton dryer.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yes, we were talking about that with Aaron. You gotcha.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
But if you go into any appliance store and you
just say to the guy, I can't decide between the
Speed Queen and the Samsung, and he doesn't look you
in the eyes and go if we were talking television, Samsung,
no Brainer appliance, May I interested you in any other

(01:49):
line let alone? Obviously, the Speed Queen is the standard
and the best in the business. If they don't say
that to you, walk out, and I'll never buy anything
from them again because they don't know what they're talking about.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
And Maytag used to be the standards. Those two.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Yeah, but here's the deal. This was the point I
was trying to make to Aaron. If if you're going
to you know, look for a refrigerator, right, you can't
beat the designs of like these Samsungs or even in
the washer and dryer, and they put them on the pedestals,
they sit high, they sing to you. I mean they're
just amazing. I mean they look like today should look.

Speaker 5 (02:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
See like that's the that's the cell of the Tesla,
not so much the electric. It's just kind of the
way they look. It looks like a futuristic car kind
of a thing. Except for the trucks.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
They're just weird. But is it a topic?

Speaker 4 (02:33):
It looks like an.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Old fashioned side by side square box on two knobs off.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I don't need the rest of that.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
But these the motors in these things, and the design
these things are like what they put in laundry mats.
These are meant to be running twenty four hours a day,
seven days a week with people who don't know how
to run them, don't ever clean them.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
They're just workhorses.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, and you're.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Gonna look at them and go, I gotta pay this
much money for this.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
This is like nineteen fifty six, Yeah, trust me go
nineteen fifty six, yes exactly. But as Aaron was explaining,
all these smart microwaves, smart of and smart refer all
they do is break, and in their design is very
expensive repair. So you're paying for sleekness. And that's why
Andre and I said around and look at that kitchen
aid stayingless steel. That's twenty I think. I don't. I

(03:23):
really don't remember which house we bought that in. Well, sure,
but I can tell you it's over twenty It's got
to be over twenty four years old.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
And the thing has never broken, nothing has ever happened
to it.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
And I could go get one of these fancy ones
that look so pretty, and I promise you'll break in
six months.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
They just don't make things the way that they used
to make takes. Michael, Oh, you dirt right, they don't.
I feel like Mom Puckert when the word happened to
the quality. In America, it's.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Fall officially my favorite season. Death has never looked so
good on you.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
America.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Accused Trump assassin has detention hearing scheduled today, and House
Speaker Mike Jonathan says, I think we can put the
Chamber vote together for a stopcap this week. And if
you fell asleep last night, two fourth down stands late
in the fourth quarter and the Kansas City Chiefs hang
on and win at Atlanta, and you got two not one,
but two. Can I have some executive wada? We have

(04:16):
not one but two? Ask not if there's football.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Tonight, ask not?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Thank you Monday night football doubleheader Jags in Buffalo and
the Commanders and the Bengals tonight. All right, tyer, our
sounds of the day of ten minutes after the hour,
and there's some buttes in here.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I assure you this is Tucker Carlson.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
You may have just heard me saying the headlines Trump
accused assassin has detention hearing scheduled for today. Here's Tucker
Carlson at one of his live tour events this weekend
talking about Ryan Ralph.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
The guy who is now in custody for attempted murder
against the Republican nominee, the former US President, Donald Trump.
That guy has been interviewed countless times by every big
media outlet in the United States. He's got, you know,
a criminal record the length of your arm, twenty charges,
including possession of weapons of mass destruction. The New York

(05:09):
Times didn't bother learning any of that before they held
him up as a freedom fighter in Ukraine, where he
was living. And then the piece describes the contact he's
had with members of Congress and their staffs and other
US government agencies. You're like, wait a second, that's the
same guy who brought a rifle with a scope to
a golf course in South Florida to murder Donald Trump.
And he's had all these contacts with US government agents.

(05:30):
He's like, I don't know what that's about, but I
think it's time to find out.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Don't you just love, love anybody that talks with a nettle.
I know I do, no, but it's a reminder of
the death of journalism. There is a death of critical
thought in all of this. There is a death of
understanding in all of this, a death of awareness in
all this, and there is no ongoing in connecting of dots. Well,

(06:01):
no one will reveal any of the dots.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
It's lazy above all else. It's lazy to just do narratives.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
And at some point in culture it takes a lazy consumer, right,
because if you were a news consumer the way our fathers,
grandfathers and great grandfathers were, well, you'd have an echo
and be at a podium like Tucker Carlson. I don't
know what this garbage as we call media. I'm not

(06:36):
a fan of Woodford Woodward and Bernstein, but I take
them right now. Our next sound really addresses the question
how long or is Kamala Harris even getting away with this?
And there's a lot to get away with, right the
whole bait and switch. Biden gets all the delegates, they
throw them in a trunk like the mafia, give all

(06:58):
the delegates to her, put on a theatric performance at
the convention, and then hider.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Well.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
In twenty twenty, they hit Joe Biden in a basement
and got away with it and won. Now, there was
a lot of weaponizing of COVID and changing of election
laws and a sleep at the wheel legislatures that allowed it,
which was unconstitutional. So Shenanigan's played in ballot harvesting the

(07:25):
real Shenanigans, of course. In the delivery in the middle
of the night, by the way, the best part of
waking up.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
There's a nice, delicious cup of coffee and an iHeart
thermal muck. It is an add Monday, Just another add Monday.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Oh all right, So how are they doing in hiding
Kamala in plain sight? How are they doing in platitudes
and no substance? You would think this is a job interview,
and Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are interviewing with you.

(08:07):
They're interviewing with me one on one. In a sense,
imagine you're behind the desk and you ask them both
the same question and get these two answers, and yet you.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Still struggle to figure out who gets the job.

Speaker 7 (08:23):
How are you going to bring down the cost of
food and groceries?

Speaker 4 (08:28):
Good?

Speaker 8 (08:29):
Very good, Thank you much.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
So we have to start always with energy.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Always.

Speaker 7 (08:37):
I don't want to be boring about it, but there's
no bigger subject. It covers everything. If you make donuts,
if you make cars, whatever you make.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Energy is a big deal.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Now we're going to get that.

Speaker 7 (08:47):
It's my ambition to get your energy bill within twelve
months down fifty percent. If I can do that, you've
done a hell of a job.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Five oh five not fifteen.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
All right, whether you agree or disagree. You know how
much gas costed, how much it costs when he was president.
You know how much it costs now. You realize that's
the extent of the expense increase for you just to
do your life. But everything in your life gets to

(09:18):
where you're getting it by energy. So when gas doubles
and triples, it impacts the cost of food. It increases
the cost of everything that gets to you, whether it's
a store or your door. It's a legitimate answer if
somebody's asked you, what are you going to do for
me to help? Now, would that bring down let's say,

(09:40):
insurance costs. No, that's a whole separate issue. Inflation causes
vehicles to cost more, and therefore it costs more to
replace them. Therefore it costs more to repair them, it
costs more to ensure them. But this is a legitimate

(10:00):
answer to someone's question, how can you make an immediate
impact on my family?

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Well, for one, I'll get the gas back down.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
And this happens to be somebody saying it to you
with the credibility who's done it in fact in great
surplus and created revenues selling you to the rest of
the world rather than being dependent on enemies.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
That's one legitimate answer.

Speaker 7 (10:19):
Listen, in fifteen, interest rates are going to follow, and
actually they're going to follow for another reason. The economy
is now not good and interest rates you'll see, they'll
do the rate cut and all the political stuff tomorrow,
I think, and you know, will we do a half
a point We'll we do a quarter of a point,
but the reason is because the economy is not good.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Otherwise you wouldn't be able to do it.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
But we're going to get.

Speaker 7 (10:42):
Interest rates down, and we got to work with our farmers.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Our farmers are.

Speaker 7 (10:46):
Being decimated, right They're being absolutely, absolutely decimated. And you
know one of the reasons is we allow a lot
of farm product into our country, and we're gonna have
to be a little bit like other countries.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
We're not going to allow so much.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
We're going to let our farmers go to work.

Speaker 9 (11:04):
We really would love to know what your plan is
to help lower the cost of living.

Speaker 10 (11:09):
Yeah, first of all, thank you both for being here,
and yours is a story I hear around the country
as I travel, and in terms of both rightly having
the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions for

(11:30):
your family and working hard and finding that the American
dream is for this generation and so many recently, far
more elusive than it's been, and we need to deal
with that.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
One actually fixed it before, and it's tell you specifically
how we'll fix it again. The other is explaining the
question back to you and has been a part of
an administration, and that has controlled the country twelve in
the last sixteen years. That has cost it, and yet
America scratches it had and wonders how to vote. All right,

(12:13):
I must skip the JD vance. I'm gonna play this
piece of audio and then explain to you why.

Speaker 8 (12:18):
Peace process We're continuing to try to do it, try
from the beginning to make sure that both the people
in northern Israel as well as Sony eleven on.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Ail to go back to their homes.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
That's the sounds of Joe Biden Friday holding a cabinet meeting,
the first in nearly a year, the first in nearly

(12:54):
a year. Don't who has been running this country? And
I'm sparing you the one where he's with the Prime
Minister of India. His job is to introduce the prime
minister and he forgets thinks he's had a news conference

(13:17):
and starts yelling who's next, thinking the.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Reporters aren't doing their job, and then all of a sudden,
over the speaker, ladies and gentlemen, the prime minister.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Who is running this country?

Speaker 1 (13:34):
This is your morning show with Michael del Chrona.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
These are your top five stories of the dead wealthy
president of Israel. Insists the country isn't trying to escalate things.
I'll try to start a world war here, just trying
to eliminate the Hasbalah threat.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
More from Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 11 (13:58):
When Cini has faced the nation, President Isaac Herzon claimed
that Israeli forces destroyed an apartment building in Lebanon on
Friday because they believed Hisbola leaders were meeting to plan
an attack on Israel.

Speaker 9 (14:07):
These guys who we eradicated on Friday while gathering together
in order to plan another October seventh.

Speaker 11 (14:17):
He didn't provide any evidence to support the claim that
an attack was being planned, saying Israeli officials merely assumed
an attack was imminent on Friday, and Israeli strike killed
dozens in Southern Bay Route, including two senior Hezbolah commanders.
How Many, self officials maintained that not all those killed
were members of Hesbellah, saying multiple children were among the
dead on Marknyfield A long.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Long time ago, in a land far far away, people
used to run for precedent. Now they hide for precedent,
doing it the best job she can at that is
Kamala Harris, who will skip the Archdiocese of New York's
seventy ninth Al Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner on October seventeenth.
Lisa Salvadi has more.

Speaker 12 (14:57):
Harris's campaign says she'll instead campaigning key battleground states as
a last push leading up to the final two weeks
before the election. Harris is the first presidential candidate to
duck the annual charity event, which raises money for New
Yorkers in need, since Walter Mondale in nineteen eighty four.
It's a tradition for both presidential candidates to attend the dinner,
named after New York's former governor, had to take turns

(15:18):
roasting each other. New York Archidiasis spokesman Joe Swilling says
former President Trump has confirmed he'll be there, and Swilling
hopes Harris will reconsider. Lisa Salvadi NBC News Radio New York.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Let's consider for a second, why don't we go to movies?
Can't be the reclining chairs. No, no, can't be the
fifteen dollar popcorn and the ten dollars coke. Oh no, no,
can't be the crummy movies. It must just need about
two point two billion dollars of renovation. Tappy tray Low

(15:51):
has details.

Speaker 13 (15:52):
A group representing eight of the biggest chains, including AMC Entertainment,
Regal Cinemas, and Cinema, announced a renovation plan for almost
seventy percent of the North American box office. The National
Association of Theater Owners says the renovations are a tangible
way for moviegoers to experience change. The goal is to
modernize movie theaters in upgrade projection technology, along with new

(16:13):
audio equipment and better seating. I'm tammaged, RHEO, why.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Not make a good movie?

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Lord? The popcard bright? Help us?

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Help you go a boat?

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Hey, kids are getting smarter? Wait you hear the new
trend among young people getting high? Here's Scott Carr.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Health officials warned the teens have recently been using nitrous
oxide products sold by a company called Galaxy Gas. The
Atlanta based company says it's nitrous oxide chargers in stainless
steel cartridges are intended only for culinary practice, but a
twenty eighteen study cited by CNN shows the trend is
quickly growing in the US and the UK and has

(16:50):
gained popularity through social media sites, though many depictions of
its use is now being censored on some platforms.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
TikTok.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
Users who search for galaxy gas are being sent to
helplines and other resources on substance abuse.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
I'm Scott Carr. I get mine from the dentist and
that's your top five stories of the day. Hey, it's
me Michael.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
Your morning show has heard live from five to eight

Washington d C. We'd love to have you join us
live in the morning, even take us along on.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
The drive to work. But better late than never. Enjoyed
the podcast, Thanks for waking up with us.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
You can always call eight hundred and six eight eight
ninety five twenty two and make your voice heard. There's
also a talkback button on your iHeartRadio app. It's a
little microphone. You just press it. It'll count you down
three to two to one. You can ask a question,
make a comment on what we're talking about, and it
shares immediately with us and we can share it with
the class. And of course it's good old fashion email
Michaeld at iHeartMedia dot com. Well, welcome to fall, second

(17:56):
day technically, and I know some of you are going
out ninety picking up of God. I'm just telling you
it's the first day of fall, and death has never
looked more beautiful. Accused Trump assassin has a detention hearing
scheduled for today. Key aids of a North Carolina Republican
candidate for governor's campaign have all stepped down after he
reportedly made lewd and inflammatory comments years ago on a

(18:19):
porn site that my friend is scandem. And then Monday
night football double header tonight Jags in Buffalo, and then
the Commanders and the Bengals say hello to Aaron Real,
good morning, you checked in, hung up.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
On me, and now you're back.

Speaker 11 (18:33):
Yeah, then that is a scandal.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Well, you know I said this earlier. I never delight
in the misfortune of others. And there are so many
other lessons buried in this. You know, this is a
long time ago, and this is why people are afraid
to run for office. We desperately need good people, but
nobody wants to, you know, come forward because of stuff
like this.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
That's number one.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Number two, he is a person of color, So the
things that he said from a racial standpoint, you know,
at first I was I had to go Google. Well
you know, this guy Caucasian. I mean, but I just
don't delight in the misfortune of others. But this is
very misfortunate.

Speaker 14 (19:04):
And yeah, no you never like the shot in for
it in don't do that. Yeah, totally right.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
But what do we always say, Aaron, don't text anything,
don't post anything anywhere that you wouldn't say tonight on
the NBC Nightly News because nothing's safe and there is.

Speaker 14 (19:20):
No form site.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
Well there is.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
This is like straight out of a bird cage, to
be honest. Yeah, but I don't want to make light
of it, all right, So Kamala Harris making a stealthy
push to win over corporate America. Any specificity in this,
I mean, is this all platitudes and no specifics or
does she actually have a spiel.

Speaker 14 (19:40):
Big to dinner, Michael, that's what's happening. That's so well, No, listen,
like you, everyone knows that Mark Cuban he might as
well be working for the administration at this point. He
talk to her all the time. But what we've seen
is that, yes, like many Democratic candidates, Harris has made,
you know, taking on American corporations a big part of
her block form and a central part of her pitch

(20:01):
to voters. But at the same time, she in private
is making a quiet play for Corporate America's support. She
has hosted dinners of eight to ten chief executives at
the VP's Naval Observatory residence, so we have seen everyone
on either side of the aisle.

Speaker 9 (20:16):
There.

Speaker 14 (20:16):
Visa's big boss, he's a Democrat, Motorola's boss Greg Brown,
a Republican CBS Health the head hansho there Aaron Lynch.
She isn't affiliated with either party. But long story short,
they've had hours of dinner. She has courted them in
different ways, much different than than Biden, who actually really
has never sat down with any business leader outside of
like formal meetings.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
So it's absolutely a different point.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
He may have sat down with some business meetings involving China,
but that's another story.

Speaker 14 (20:48):
I'm joking, that's the joke. Yeah, The point being like
she is being much more cordial both to Corporate America
and Silicon Valley and frankly corporate leaders. They've already scored
this major win with her. The VP has backed a
less drastic increase in the top capital gains tax, so
that absolutely breaks with Biden's budget blueprint earlier this year. Also,

(21:09):
they want Lena Kahan out, And Lena Khan is an
interesting one because she has like Matt Gates as a supporter,
and she has Bernie Sanders as a supporter.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
She is head of the FTC.

Speaker 14 (21:20):
She doesn't have Corporate America support because she has been
real big on busting up like anti trust, bucking up
bigod conglomerates. So like she has like they're calling her conservatives.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Because it's Kahn.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
They like her.

Speaker 14 (21:33):
She like it's almost like less big big business. But
at the same time Bernie Sanders loves her, which it's
oftentimes they find themselves for some issues on the same side.
But the point being, corporate America hates her and they
want her gone. And she hasn't made any policy things
out loud. She like doesn't want to say like, yeah,
I'm gonna fire my FTC. No, she's not saying that,

(21:53):
but it seems like from all accounts she is much
more open to corporate America and having the private sector.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
She has said she's told advisors.

Speaker 14 (22:01):
That the government can't fix complex problems alone and wants
the private sector on assignments. She tasks them work.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
Essentially, there's a reason why I love working for iHeart.
One is the leadership team. They're very smart people and
very good people. The other is they give me great
people to perform with. And that's why I love you,
Love Rory love John Decker, and I view this time
kind of like Show and Tell, where you guys work
hard on this stuff, research this stuff, and really it's

(22:27):
just my job, you know, to get it all out
of you. But to make a long story short, this
sounds like corporate leadership. She already has in her back pocket,
and the essence of it is dinners with them.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
No, I mean, there is some nuance to the planning,
but it's just side's already taken right.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
She's brilliant, but.

Speaker 14 (22:51):
Like, yes, listen, it's a different strategy and it's not
necessarily a losing one, like just have it, like I
think that, like breaking bread often helps more than one
would think. There's the reason there's business meetings over lunch,
Like it's just there's something honest about, you know, taking
it out of a formal setting and just listening, listening

(23:11):
doesn't mean you're going to do everything they ask, but
listening and fundamentally being open to like the other side
and just being like I'm listening. I'm not saying, but
like you might have good points, and she's actually heard
them out on DEI initiatives and then also infrastructure funding,
on China and labor markets. It's like these these massive corporations,
there's no question there there's some of the things that

(23:32):
make America great and America very dangerous to figuring out
what the middle ground is and legislating accordingly for the
people and for business to succeed. Yeah, that's the hard one.
That's why we give these people the big jobs and
give them the big power. But it's imperative to listen
to either side.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Any reason why you got to do it over dinner.
I'll never forget. I had one of the worst and
one of the twice I went. I think that was
kind of like God's way of trying twice trying to
get through to me and ida listen. But I went
for a job interview in Columbus, Ohio the first time,
and this guy was terrific. He took me to the
Ohio State Michigan game I got to go meet to

(24:09):
see coach Cooper, who was our Tulsa coach and then
was at Ohio State tour the facility. Should have taken
the job, then I didn't. Then another GM brings me
back two years later, and it was a whole different experience.
This time, I'm at a hotel. There was like furniture
in the in the hallway. It was disgusting, you know.
And then I looked at Andrew and I said, listen,

(24:29):
how much you want to bet? He shows up and says,
why don't we just go eat over Bob Evans across
the street.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
And sure enough he pulls up and he goes, you
want to go eat to Bob Evans across the street?
That was it. That was the final straw. I didn't
take the job.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
I did get myself at Ohio State buck Eye Beanie,
and I was on my way home.

Speaker 14 (24:44):
But yeah, I wait, I'm real Why I'm not saying
you're you're I'm genuinely asking like.

Speaker 15 (24:50):
Why is that that?

Speaker 1 (24:51):
It wasn't that.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
It was just, you know, it was like every other
job interviewed there was, you know, the lesson to people
you're not always in demand.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
At this point, I was in demand.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
That was the time if I was going to be
in management to make my move, and it would have
been a completely different life. But the reality was we
had a great life. We were making way too much
money than we deserved where we were, and the move
just seemed inconvenient. Should have done it for my career,
but we didn't. But I mean, it just had nothing
to do with Bob Evans other than you know, yeah,

(25:19):
he really was that cheap.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
He didn't say Bob Evans.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
So I mean, Kamala Harris could have taken these people
to Bob Evans or waffle House, it wouldn't matter.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
They were in her.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
I think she's in their back pocket before the meeting
even happens, is the story, right, Listen.

Speaker 14 (25:35):
And that's why I think like having so much money.
That's what they say about Crypto and Trump too. If
they like Trump, are they running a grift Crypto?

Speaker 1 (25:45):
But this is the vision.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
American people need vision right now. They need vision holders,
they need leaders, they need statesmen to make real changes
that will impact our life. These are just political alliances
and a problem we're already living. I mean, it's yes,
and it's I am not just bashing Kamala Harris. Although
in Kamala Harris's case, I said earlier most people run

(26:08):
for president. She continues to hide for president. But she's
a puppet. And you know, usually it's pedestin saurus who's
got their hand inside the puppet. Now we see it's
corporate leaders. And I don't know who's taking who to dinner.
I'd love to know who picked up the tab. I
guess I'll leave the story.

Speaker 14 (26:29):
If it was at her house, the naval observatory, that is.

Speaker 10 (26:33):
It's US.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
I guess wherever it is, we paid for it. Huh,
all right, A right, reporting, We'll talk again tomorrow. All right,
forty four minutes after the office, just waking up.

Speaker 16 (26:41):
These ah, your top five stories of today numero oh no, no,
Moss the mass Trump says it's too late, baby, Now
it's too late. A Road to the White House with
Mark Mayfield. Road to the White House twenty twenty four.
Former President Trump says he won't take part in an debate.
Speaking at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina, on Saturday,

(27:04):
Trump told supporters there shouldn't be another presidential debate because
voting has already started in some states.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
It's too late to do another. I'd love to in
many ways, but it's too late.

Speaker 7 (27:13):
The voting is cast, the voters are out there.

Speaker 11 (27:16):
He went on to criticize Harris's comments calling for another debate,
claiming she had a chance earlier this year to do
another debate moderated by Fox News, but turned it down.
And a new national poll gives Vice President Harris a
five point lead over former President Trump with just over
six weeks until election day. The NBC News poll gives
Harris forty nine percent support among registered voters, compared to

(27:37):
forty four percent for Trump. I'm Mark Mayfield and it was.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Tied on Thursday. What happened this weekend to get such
a bum or is it just a poll created bump?

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Time will tell?

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Key aids for North Carolina's Republican candidate for governor have
stepped down after we reportedly made loudon inflammatory comments years
ago on a porn site. Mark Robinson allegedly made the
posts in the message board of a porn site called
Nude Africa. Robinson reportedly referred to himself as a black
Nazi and supported bringing back black slavery. Not a good

(28:09):
thing to say, even though he is a person of color.
He also allegedly said that he enjoyed watching transgender porn
and recounted one story when he was fourteen years old
peeping at women in the jim showers at school. A
Sunday release from Robinson's campaign says that those who left
the campaign include his manager, finance director, a deputy campaign manager,

(28:30):
a general consultant, and a senior advisor.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
That's a complete abandonment in scandal.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
I bring it up not because I delight the misfortune
of others, but this is a gubernatorial candidate driving, you know,
turnout and tickets in North Carolina. So hees central to
Donald Trump, hanging on and winning. He leads by just
zero point one tenth percent in North Carolina. What effect
might this have? Summer's officially over the autumn equinox is

(28:56):
this weekend in the northern Hemisphere, making Yesday the first
day of fall, which means today the sun will be
directly over the equator, dividing night and day into two
exact equal parts.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
But for the next three months the day shall become
shorter until the winter solstice on December twenty first.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Well, even though they're more of them on the market
to buy home sales actually fell in the month of August.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Brian Shook reports.

Speaker 15 (29:26):
Prices were also at a record high.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Tight supply is keeping the pressure on prices.

Speaker 8 (29:30):
The medium price of an existing home sold in August
was four hundred and sixteen seven hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
That is a three point one percent year over year.

Speaker 15 (29:38):
Diana Olek says that's down just over one percent from
the previous month. It's the highest median sales price for August. Ever,
sales are up for homes priced above seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars, while down for homes under three hundred thousand.
I'm Brian Shook.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Looks like the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Otani may
not get fifty to fifty baseball Rob Martier as more.

Speaker 9 (30:03):
Otani made major League baseball history Thursday in the Dodgers
twenty to four win over the Marlins. He recorded both
his fiftieth home run and fiftieth stolen base in the game,
becoming the first major leaguer to reach both milestones in
the same season. Sports radio host Craig Mish posted that
the Miami fan who caught the fiftieth home run ball
opted to walk away with it. O'tani had six hits

(30:25):
and ten runs batted in on the night, and also
became the first Big leaguer with three home runs and
two stolen bases in the same game. I'm Rob Bartier.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
If you're listening in Tulsa or Oklahoma City, please ignore
this good.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Rocket, Top Rocket, Top Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Big win over Ou twenty five to fifteen, and they
find themselves in the top five your NCAA Top five, Texas, Georgia,
Ohio State, Alabama and Tennessee. We have two, not one,
but two Monday night football games tonight, Jags in Buffalo first,
and then about when they're in the second quarter, the
commanders in Benks will.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Start birthdays today. The boss kids there, you go afraid
you're gonna do our version right.

Speaker 8 (31:13):
I'm Daniel Calsey and Tampa, and my morning show is
your morning show with Michael Bill Joro and.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
A pleasant good afternoon. I am your captain.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
In fifty third minutes after the hour, scatterclouds Visibi twenty
miles an hour, we're going to be passing it through
with some.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Snacks walking forward.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
And then there are people like Rory and Aaron who
have to pop into thirty or forty.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Different flights throughout the morning. But anyway, so I thought
that was Aaron that called in and hung up.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
It was actually you, and I sang you Aaron's song,
and then you were it was you and you were offended, right,
You thought you were the only one that.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
Had a song.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
Well it was the same tune. You know, I appreciate
that the words are different.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, well, how creative do you think?

Speaker 8 (31:54):
I ever?

Speaker 2 (31:57):
You're Rory O'Neil, and then she he's a great gal,
she's Aaron Ray.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Hell yeah, we both.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
You need to drag out the syllables and the pilots speak.
We're going to be cruising. You really should drag out.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Some of those.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Rory's here to help us all check our wallet, because
guess what, we may have more money than we thought
unused gift I lose them every.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Time, Rory, I'm not kidding. See I lose on average.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
They say we've got two hundred and forty four dollars
per person in gift cards floating around either in the
glove compartment and the wallet unused behind the Blockbuster card.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
You know, all this money is just sitting out there.

Speaker 5 (32:37):
About twenty seven billion dollars, which is roughly the annual
funding for NASA. By the way, just put that out there.
That's how much sitting around in unused gift cards.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
And you better use them.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
The folks over at bank rates say there's no guarantee
that a restaurant or even that big box store is
going to be there, so you know, you use them
or lose them.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
There's so many things that come to my mind, and
very few of them have anything to do with the
story other than if you and by the way, it
would be a wonderful thing for me to do because
it's acknowledging that I know what you like, and I
respect your ability to find exactly what you want where
you like to shop. But to me, if you give
me a gift card, I don't you know. It's like

(33:23):
when you're at at the grocery store and there's that
little portion of the aisle that's all the gift cards
and it's everything you could imagine. When somebody gives me that,
it just seems so I don't know, like I didn't
give it any Is it thoughtful or is it no
thought I don't know. Then the reality is I lose
track of them and add to this twenty three million
dollar problem.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
And then actually you always end up spending more than
you're like, oh, thanks for the seed money. Because for
the twenty five dollars Amazon card, you know I'm going
to spend one hundred and fifty.

Speaker 4 (33:50):
So this really is costing me.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
I knew you'd be it. I knew you'd be a
tough buy. You are the ungrateful, miserable guy Christmas morning,
aren't you.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
There's just no pleasing you, is there? I didn't know
what I want?

Speaker 2 (34:00):
No, remember Robert Duval's character for Christmas? How much is
this gift go to cost me?

Speaker 5 (34:07):
Right?

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (34:08):
I mean, but that's what Even if it's here's your
twenty five dollars restaurant gift card, you're like, what am
I supposed to do with this?

Speaker 2 (34:14):
So what's the bottom line that, like me, Ei, they're
losing them or they just forget to use them?

Speaker 3 (34:19):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Yes, so you actually physically lose the card.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
In some cases they expire because they include vouchers with
this and a lot of stores.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
You know, you get mom the spa day or the massage.

Speaker 5 (34:30):
And you know she's got a drawer full of those
things because she never takes the day off of herself right,
and those kinds of things, and that's what keeps on
adding up and stacking. You know.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
That reminds me I have a massage for my sixtieth birthday.
I still need to use at Inspire Chiropractic.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
We're all in this together. This is your morning Show
