Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Michael. Your morning show could be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern in 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 Well two.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Three starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding well because we're in this together.
This is your morning show with Michael O'Dell Johnny as Pleasant.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Good morning to one in all six minutes after the
hour on the Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael del Journal Jeffrey
Lyon at the Controls, forecasters say tropical Storm Helleen could
be a Cat three before it makes landfall in northern Florida.
Could even be, as you heard Roy O'Neil Mormons moments ago,
(00:53):
a tremendous weather event for Atlanta, Georgia. Ryan Ruth officially
being charged with attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate.
As Congress is passing a bill to boost Secret Service
protection for presidential candidates. And we have about eleven really
key state ballot issues on the ballot this presidential election cycle,
(01:17):
many of which have been designed to really influence the
outcome of the presidential race, but each one has a
tremendous influence on the issues that people are voting on.
David's and audis with the American Policy Roundtable, ivoters dot
com and host of the Public Square, heard on two
hundred stations nationwide and on demand anytime at the Public
Square dot Com. David, these are key issues each and
(01:39):
everyone individually for our culture, for our states, and collectively
our nation, and their influence even greater.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Michael, this is good morning, first offic and this is
the October surprise. Now in plain sight, abortion is the
wedge issue that is rallying hundreds of millions of dollars
behind the scenes in key states, and while everyone is
chasing around the arguments happening at the top of the
presidential campaign, and these obscure rabbit trails that are not
(02:10):
honest and not genuine regarding what's happening in regards to
abortion and abortion pills and all the super hyped up
stories that are being promulgated by propaganda agencies out there
while people are watching that underneath the scenes in ten
key states there are ballot issues eleven issues, ten states
(02:32):
that are going to change the construct of the way
abortion is understood and delivered in America for generations, because
these are all state constitutional amendments, and in the meantime
bring electoral votes and perhaps even control of the Senate
into the Democrat progressive regime.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I'm not going to interrupt a lot, but i will
say this as it should be. Roe V. Wade was
sent back to the states for the states and it's
people to honestly decide. But the conversation before the decision
is anything but honest. It's a national bait and switch
(03:10):
being done at each individual state level with a sidebar
opportunity to maybe steal the presidential election by who you
draw out to the polls. I'll give you an example.
They have turned abortion upside down. Of course, it's never
called abortion anymore now it's called reproductive rights. But I
was noticing that the Daily Signal, which is under the
(03:31):
umbrella of the Heritage Foundation, the only one to do
a story on the two high profile cases that Kamala
Harris keeps citing, and then the media keeps repeating as
if people are dying because of Donald Trump, and of
course we broke that down and debunked both of them.
And if anything, there's a lawsuit against that hospital if
(03:53):
it's found, you know, liable, but I don't even think
it would be. The main thing is we've got very
dangerous with very little FDA oversight abortion drugs, which is
the majority of abortions done now, and it's leading to complications.
That's the real story. So the American people aren't even
getting the honest story, let alone understanding the issue in
an honest way to make honest decisions at the state level.
(04:17):
What a mess.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah, Michael, this is maddening. You could actually you can
get very discouraged by this. Our team in the American
Policy Around Table is covering this again this week on
the Public Square with much more detail than we can
get into in these brief visits you and I get
to share. But I really appreciate you picking up on
this story, and particularly the way you just presented the
two cases of the two women, because this points up
(04:40):
the fact that people don't know what the law actually is,
what's going on. Most people don't wake up this every
morning in Satya. I wonder how abortion laws are changing today.
It's not where we've lived for the last fifty years.
But there's an industry whose whole survival is built upon
this reality. Billions dollars, billions of dollars are involved here,
(05:00):
and when the Wall of Roe versus Well fell, they
were prepared to defend their industry to the death. And
that's what they're doing right now. One point we discovered
in creating a new book called Abortion in America. It's
a forty page booklet on the facts that no one
knows anymore, or they forgotten or they never discovered.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It's simply this.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
There are more abortions happening in America today than there
were under Row versus Wade.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
All right, I have to interrupt for two reasons. One
America is you know, we did a whole journey of
discovering the five o'clock hour in the problem. It's your show.
You don't interrupt you because it's easier for me to
say this, this abortion in America. And I know the
person that took the lead on this, and she is
an extraordinary human being, and it would be uncomfortable for you.
(05:50):
But it's not for me to say this is one
of the most important things in forty one years on
the radio that I've ever encouraged listeners to go to
the link and read. This is the ultimate cliffs Notes
of truth. You think you understand abortion, if you believe CNN,
if you believe MSNBC, if you believe ABC, NBCCBS, Axios,
(06:12):
The Atlantic, Washington Post, You're only gonna get it completely wrong.
This is not about reproductive rights, and this is not
about the rights of women. In fact, it's women that
are dying and women who are going to die. These
drugs are so loosely overseen by the FDA now thed
(06:33):
by the way, and they're not even following the FDA.
The one death with the twins, had she followed the FDA,
she'd have been getting alters on. So this person has
twins inside her, she's taking abortion pills under the direction
of no doctor whatsoever, and the babies in her womb
dead and not coming out, and then complications, sepsis and death.
(06:56):
That's on the wait five days, Michael, she waits five days,
eve days. Let me tell you something. You're only getting
it completely wrong. Abortion's gonna kill. There are more, not less,
and more women are gonna die as we turn to
pharmaceuticals and how nobody knows how to use them or
is even following the loose FDA guidelines. But I have
never felt more strongly if you could sit down, and
(07:19):
it's not enough for just you two, but for you
to sit down, even if you just save it or
bookmarket and wait till this weekend. I am not well.
Actually I've gotten pretty fast. But David, the slowest of readers,
what could it possibly take them an hour to consume
this forty page? All right, and you will have if
you can hit I feel like in the movie Few
(07:39):
Good Men, If you can handle the truth, here is
a forty page cliffs notes of truth. Because I'm telling
you the horror is I live in a world that
will probably celebrate if Donald Trump wins. But if these
issues lose in these eleven states, oh my gosh, we
just sent not just babies unborn baby, but I don't
(08:01):
know how many tens of thousands of women to death.
You've got to understand, you're getting so much lies. The
truth has never been more life and death for women
and babies. Tell them where they can get this abortion.
Then we'll move on. But the abortion in America, let's
give them the link. And I want to add one
other thing. Please don't just read it, share it on
your social media, share it with people you know. Don't
(08:23):
be afraid of the truth. This isn't about whether you're
pro choice or pro life. This is about understanding and
a living republic, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, the
truth about abortion, because it's the opposite of what you're
being sold. The link is Abortion in America.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
The easiest way to get there, Michael, Let's just go
to our website AP Roundtable dot org. It's as an
American Policy around the AP Roundtable dot organ and look
for the factbook Abortion in America.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
You'll find it.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
If you forget that complicated address AP Roundtable, just go
to the public Square dot com the public square dot com.
You can find them in both places. And the key
to this particular story, And if you'll permit me to interrupt,
of all the things you said that are true about
this particular story about these two women, there are two
facts that are not being discussed. The first one is
(09:18):
the e MTLA, the federal law that requires hospitals to
provide life sustaining stabilizing treatment to anyone who walks in
their doors. If in fact these two women were denied
medical care, the Justice Department should be on their front
door right now. That's critical to understand. But the second
thing to understand has been the Harris Biden administration that
(09:39):
has reduced additional restrictions on these abortion pills and tried
to throw off all barriers so that they can be
distributed across the board in pharmacies and as liberally as possible.
These drugs require medical attention because people don't have experience
on how to use them, and if they don't at
(10:00):
help and get help quickly if something goes wrong, they
can be gravely at risk. But Kamala Harris is against
that kind of shepherding care over this drug that can
be life threatening in this circumstance. Closing, and they're the
ones that are thrown off the laws, and then they're
turning around and blaming other people.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Closing moments with David Sinati again. You can get abortion
in America the factbook at ap roundtable dot org, orthepublic
Square dot com, and I encourage all of you to
read it and share it. Final thing, we just went
through the gallup pole in ten major issues this election
if you focused on the issues, not the partisan politics,
(10:41):
not the personality politics, take Kamala and Trump out of
the equation. Just these are the problems in America, and
these are what would fix them. The Republicans would lead
in nine out of ten of those issues. I don't
have to tell you. The one they're not leading is abortion,
the one we're getting wrong. And then the final portion
of this interview is the most depressing. And how do
(11:02):
these issues look in these eleven states?
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Well, the ballot issues right now, if the election was
held today, you could make a pretty strong case that
they may all win. Now, in Nebraska, we have two
competing so that's a really interesting contest. And the reason
that we have two competing ballot issues in Nebraska is
because the left is put up an abortion amendment in
the hope of making sure that the turnout on that
abortion amendment. That's that one electoral college vote that Kamala
(11:29):
Harris may need to actually win two seventy two sixty nine.
That's actually how tight this race could be, and it
could come down to one electoral college vote Nebraska. Pro
lifers in Nebraska have responded by putting up a pro
life amendment, so there's going to be a standoff there.
Nebraska may win for life, but the other ten issues
right now, Michael, in the other ten states or the
(11:51):
other nine states do not look good. It looks like
the pro life movement may lose ten out of ten
in ten states.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
There's an old formula Passion equals focus equals action, sets
in motion, direction equals destination. If our passion is on Trump,
or our passion is on Harris, or our passion is
on partisan politics, and that becomes the focus, and that
creates the action, and that sets the most motion in
the direction, that creates the wrong destination. Only the truth
(12:21):
will truly set us free, Not even Donald Trump. Only
the truth if you want the truth about abortion, because
you're getting exactly the opposite. And America is about to
make some decisions, not just for the unborn. I'm talking
about a lot of women that are going to die.
You want to get this fact book abortion in America.
Go to ap roundtable dot org or tpsthepublic square dot com,
(12:42):

share it with friends, and then we'll take it from
here and follow up again hopefully tomorrow, right maybe tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
This is your morning show with Michael Deltrona.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I'm Michael del Jordan. If you're just waking up. Trump
Laser focused on the economy and jobs in Georgia. Brian
shook me all night long with our Road to the
White House.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Road to the White House twenty twenty four. Former President
Trump is talking about his plans for the economy in Savannah, Georgia,
on Tuesday. Trump told his supporters he wants to take
other countries' jobs.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Well, create millions and millions of massively raised wages for
American workers, and make the United States into a manufacturing
powerhouse like it used.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
To be many years ago.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Trump also said he'll unlock the energy potential in the
US by allowing for more drilling and fracking. He also
said he'll keep the US auto industry strong by putting
a one hundred percent tariff on every car man factured
in Mexico. In Washington, I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Ryan Ruth is officially being charged with the attempted assassination
of a major presidential candidate, Mark Mayfield, reports ca Anda reports.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Prosecutors filed the charges Tuesday afternoon. Ruth allegedly camped downside
of Trump's West Palm Beach golf course four hours armed
with a rifle. Earlier this month, on Monday, the Justice
Department revealed a letter written by Ruth addressed to the world,
which said this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump,
but I failed you. Ruth also faces multiple gun related chargers.
(14:32):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
A new poll shows the twenty twenty four presidential race
can't get any closer. Kristin Marx has the details.
Speaker 7 (14:39):
The latest Quinnipiac University survey shows, in a race including
a third party candidates, forty eight percent of likely voter
support former President Trump, while forty seven percent back Vice
President Kamala Harris. And August poll showed Harris garnering forty
nine percent and Trump perceiving forty seven percent, and a
hypothetical two way race, voters are evenly split forty eight
(15:01):
to forty eight percent. Meanwhile, sixty four percent of voters
say they would like to see a second debate between
Trump and Harris, and seventy three percent say they're somewhat
to very concerned there'll be politically motivated violence following the
outcome of the election. Kristen Marx NBC News Radio.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Israel and Hesbelah continue to trade fire. A day after
the deadliest day in Lebanon in almost two decades, Lisa
Taylor has more.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
Israel said it killed a commander of the Iran Bak
Lebanese militant group in an airstrike in Beroot on Tuesday.
Matt Bradley reports from Lebanon.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
This is Ibrahim Kobasi and this was, according to the IDF,
one of the senior commanders of Hesbullah's missile project. They're
basically one of the main guys in charge of launching
missiles by Hezbollah into Israel. And this is a man
again according to the IDF, who have been promoted in
the past couple of weeks because there have been so
many assassinations of top level Hesbala officials by the Israelis.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Lebanese officials said more than five hundred people were killed,
including dozens of children and women, in Israeli airstrikes on Monday.
I'mly Se Taylor.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Lay Gogat's new album is coming out sooner rather than later.
This would have been a good name. The pop superstar
announced she's dropping Harlequin this Friday. Gaga is calling it
a compilation album for her upcoming film, Joker Fully Adeu.
My wife studied at the sore Bond. I pride myself
on my fit French pronunciation really good. In the movie,
(16:26):
she plays Harley Quinn alongside Joaquin Phoenix's The Joker. Joker
Fully Adou is set to hit theaters on October fourth.
And finally, this is one I think we can all
relate to. Hang on, I gotta get my bib again.
It's National Lobster Day. Great Tennis with the details.
Speaker 10 (16:48):
Today it's all about the crustacean. Some famous Larry the
Lobster from SpongeBob, or Sebastian from The Little Mermaid, and
some not so much, most likely sitting in a restaurant
tank near you.
Speaker 8 (16:59):
Now.
Speaker 10 (16:59):
Some fact from the Lobster Men's Association. Lobsters live about
one hundred years. That is, if you don't eat them.
They don't have lungs of vocal cords, so they can't
scream when cooking, and lobster is locale about one hundred
and twenty eight calories per cup. That's without the drawm Butter,
I'm pre tennant.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Consider yourself informed. Hey, it's me Michael. Your morning show
can be heard live five to eight am Central, six
to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here. Now, enjoy
the podcast. Hey, if you're just waking up. Forecasters say
Tropical Storm Helene could be a Cat three before it
(17:38):
makes landfall sometime Thursday in Florida. A lot of saber
rattling at the un but a lot of fighting in
the Middle East. Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano with more on
that in a moment, But first, Rory O'Neil is here,
Rory Helena doing about in strength. What we thought the
cities it's affecting that has changed, yeah a little bit.
(18:00):
So this is tracking a little bit.
Speaker 11 (18:02):
I mean just the slightest bit further to the west,
which is better news for the Tampa Bay area. Helene
is expected to come ashore a late Thursday in Florida's
Big Bend area, a part of the state that's not
densely populated, so that's a good thing. But the storm
is moving fast enough and should be powerful enough that
it's going to linger over Georgia and actually could still
(18:26):
inflict some hurricane force winds on Atlanta as it moves through.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
So that would be what straight wind damage, power outages,
but potential with a stagnat storm like that, too much
rainfall and flooding. Right well, yeah, it's going to be
moving at a pretty good clip, so it should be
going past Georgia pretty well.
Speaker 11 (18:43):
One issue is going to be air travel, however, because
this is going to be hitting just as the weekend
is starting. Obviously, Delta being headquartered in Atlanta, that could
be a mess.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, which is why we're going to have you reporting
from Atlanta. No, that's the weather channel that does that.
But Rory was going to keep an eye on the
hurricane from Florida Forest. Thank you Rory so much. Have
a great day, all right, thirty six minutes after the hour,
I want to quickly shift to Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano.
A lot of saber rattling at the UN but a
lot of missiles flying in the Middle East. I guess
(19:16):
the most obvious question to ask the best mind of
military and foreign policy I believe in America today, is
this a concerning sign of escalation in the Middle East?
Speaker 12 (19:28):
So what it looks like? And you know, I look
in the unclassified retired from the military long time ago.
I haven't had a clearance for a long white the
Biden White House doesn't call me an updaby. It looks
like we're seeing these exchanges between hens Blaw and Israel.
Al hes Blaw is not doing well in them, I
(19:49):
will say, and Iran seems to be sitting on the sidelines.
I imagine a big chunk of this is because of
the sixth Fleet is sitting out there and Iran doesn't
want to go there. So it's kind of like, you know, hey,
we pay you to harass is real, but dude, you're
(20:09):
on your own. So I you know, it's like a ladder,
and the escalation ladder. I think there's some steps that
are missing to the top.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Let me ask a student question, and that would be
I see this often with China and North Korea. China,
you know, likes when North Korea causes trouble, but they're
on their own when they do. That's kind of what's
happening with Iran.
Speaker 12 (20:32):
Yeah, you know, I think so. You know, the thing
that really unites the Iranian, Russian China access is they
all hate the United States, and they're all happy to
you know, throw gasoline on the dumpster fire. But none
of them are really willing to put their neck out
for the other one. So the reason while Iran has
(20:52):
been so kind of heavy and it's support for Russia
is because the US simply doesn't hold their feet to
the fire over this.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Right.
Speaker 12 (21:03):
If I mean, if if Iran started sending weapons to
Russia and the US put the sixth Fleet in the
middle of the Mediterraneans, that stopped. You know, I think
the ie toll is would have stopped. But you're right,
it's you know, the goal for all three of them
is to win without fighting. And I don't mean not
fight wars. They're happy to fight wars. They're particularly happy
to see their surrogates could get killed. But none of
(21:25):
them wants to directly fight a war with the United States.
So their strategy is specifically not designed to ignore that
and avoid that. And but they're happy to let each
other up. But they're not. We see this repeatedly. They're
not willing to put themselves on the line for the
other guy. Right, It's not like Article five where at
(21:46):
the end of the day Putin is staring there he goes, well,
you know, all these supplies are coming in through Poland
or something. I could bomb Poland, but then I'm going
to bump up against the United States. You know, hezblah
and Israel Friday. I could jump in, but then I
might bump into the United States. That's where they tend
to draw a line.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano joining us. I know, far be
it for the cold class s graduate in the LSU
college student to argue with a West Point professor and
a lieutenant colonel. But I would ask for clarification. I
agree with you that for China and for Russia, the
(22:27):
enemy is the United States. But for Iran, shea Muslims
in the Islamic Republic of Iran their first enemy. And
first comes Saturday is Israel, the destruction of Israel, and
then comes Sunday, the destruction of America. And then the
Hiddenknee Mom appears and rules the world until Allah comes
in judges. So all of their triggers are really theologically
(22:49):
and that's who's really running the country. About timing, is
this the moment Allah is calling us. So they're trying
to read tea leads, and the policies from America, if
Obama or Biden or even Harris, are very emboldening. But
when push comes to shove, Israel's a formidable military force
that can more than take care of itself. And you
cross the line and get America and NATO involved, you're
(23:12):
dead in an instant. That's really so, I wouldn't say
that their number one goal is the United States. That's
their number two goal. Number one is Israel, and that's
why they're fighting with through their surrogates.
Speaker 12 (23:21):
So you know, far be it from me to say
you're right, because you know that I wouldn't want that
to get out there. But so it is a question
of kind of difference. So you know, Israel tried very
hard to have good relations with China and Russia, right,
and then of course when the whole thing flared up,
(23:43):
the Chinese and the Russians have thrown Israel under the
bus because their ultimate goal is to get in America,
so they go after Israel to get it in America
on exactly, they can't in the end complete the destruction
of Israel. Well, America has their back, but in the
end it's in the end it's the same thing. America
(24:03):
is their problem. And you know, of course, you know,
we have two really serious issues here which have gotten
us where we are. One is the US government is
riddled with basically people who are Iranian agents, who say
engaging Iran is a good thing. And that's given the
Iranians lots of running rooms, allowed them to fund him
off sens Lah, we few their treasury. But at the
(24:25):
end of the day, you know, people like Biden still
have to say, okay, we can't just slow Israel, which
by the way, with Harris, it's different. If Harris were president,
she would just throw in Israel into the fire. We
know that. The other thing is this whole notion of
peace restraint. The problem with Harris, Biden, Obama is peace
restrength is the last resort. So you'll bolden empower your
(24:48):
enemies to be aggressive, and then they're aggressive up to
that when they hit the line, and then when it
really looks like, oh Jeszu, might we might actually you know,
we have to stop but that gives them all running
and they never back off. Right, whatever they pocket, they.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Want to keep.
Speaker 12 (25:03):
The difference with a Trump is Israeli is on negotiable.
That's a problem. And then the second thing is Trump
puts he's through strength up front. It's like, dude, go
take the first step.
Speaker 8 (25:18):
You know.
Speaker 12 (25:19):
Biden, Harris Obama are like, you know, the crying children,
you know, please stop crying, Please stop crying. Here's some cookies.
Please cry here, you know, here's a company. And then
at the end of the day they go, hey, kids,
shut up.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Right.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Sixty sixty years ago, Dean Atchinson is sitting in the
situation room with John F. Kennedy, the guy who was
post World War Two, one of the first to deal
with the Soviets, and he's explaining, twenty years later, they
only understand force and anything else is projected as weakness
and emboldens them. This Obama foreign policy, Biden foreign policy,
(25:55):
and presumably the Kamala Harris foreign policy will continue to
agitate and in bold. But here's the point I wanted
to make, and it is a question. I don't worry
about Israel. They can defend theirselves. I don't want this
desk and I certainly don't want to be a world
war because it might be a historical consequential one for
all time. But I don't fear for Israel in this,
but I do fear for a terrorist attack on American soil.
(26:18):
That's the game being played with weakness.
Speaker 12 (26:21):
So here's the look. I mean, first of all, that's
not a prophecy or a fear. That's just a guy
who hasn't read the news. I mean, we've actually had
several major terrorist attempts on the United States, including a
guy from Canada who came down and if he had
been successful, were to kill more people in nine to eleven.
So this is not some prophecy. They're actually trying right
(26:42):
now to police attacks off.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
They're trying to kill Donald Trump. They're trying to overthrow
this election. Yeah, no, I get it, but I do
think that's very likely.
Speaker 12 (26:51):
This is the clear present danger. This is a real thing.
So but again it's it's the problem with Harris Biden
Obama is it's like, you know, it's like letting the
kids play with matches, right, but you know they might
(27:12):
burn the freaking house down. And this is the this
is you we are putting national security and policy, and
I don't know how many times just to say like
I'm not partisan enough, political um or left. I'm just
saying this is, you know, this is kind of It
would be a different conversation if we had not had
(27:32):
eight years of Obama, four years of Biden exactly, and
knowing that with Harris we would have the exact same
team for four more years.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
And we're more from a border standpoint, we're more at
risk today than we were on nine ten, two thousand
and one.
Speaker 12 (27:50):
You know, I'm thinking back, So you're wrong again, You're wrong, right,
We're more just today than when Pancho Villa.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You keep doing that, You're actually accentuating the point. But
people are taking that they might be taking it the
wrong way, all right. So yeah, but thirteen years ago,
remember thirteen, I think thirteen years ago, you and I
were having a conversation. I said this was one. It
was Obama's foreign policy. I said, it's like a bunch
of people at an armory smoking cigarettes and flicking their
lit cigarettes towards the bombs and not expecting one to
(28:20):
go off. I cannot tell America that my mother in law,
of course, is suffering from dementia. So Her take on
the news was We're going to world war, and I
had to explained everything to her. I am not worried.
Tell me if I'm true or false. I'm not worried
about this escalating into a world war. I am worried
about a terrorist attack eminently on an American soil worse
than nine to eleven. Yeah, Okay, anything else we need
(28:42):
to know following this the Saber, But it is interesting.
The only thing I would dust out is everything that
the Israel is doing on Lebanese soil and there's no
threats from Lebanon about this escalating. What does that tell you?
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Well?
Speaker 12 (28:56):
Yeah, well for you after anything else going on is
reigning in Paris there, I want your freaking fire Miles.
Speaker 13 (29:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (29:05):
But the one that I do want to add is, uh,
you know, people do not understand the amount of restraint
the Israelis have shown in trying to, you know, wave
Hesbla off, whether it was the page or attacks or
the other things like just saying not today. And it's
not because they don't want to kill everybody in hes Blah,
And it's not because they're afraid to use force. It's
because they know that what's going to happen. In the
(29:27):
end of this is Lebanon's going to collapse, and the
people of Lebanon, who didn't you know, didn't ask for this,
they are going to suffer. And so as much as
they feel obligated to defend Israeli citizens and the Israeli people,
much like going into Gaza, they didn't want to do that.
They didn't want to impoverish them and make bubble of Gaza,
(29:51):
but they had to. It's just like, you know, no
American stepped off the beaches of Normandy saying, my goal
is the level Berlin because they were you know, Genghis Khan.
Their goal is to defend their people, and it just
happened to the destroy the enemy to do that. Nobody worries.
(30:17):
This is the great irony. Nobody worries more about the
people that live in Israel's neighborhood than Israel absolutely.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
And capable of protecting them. Look, if you're looking to
understand what's happening in the Middle East by watching Fox, CNN, MSNBC,
or reading the Washington Post of The New York Times, ABC,
NBC or CBS are really, quite frankly, most talk radio shows.
You're only going to be completely misinformed. And for that
I say, I'm so grateful for our weekly visits. And
(30:49):
I know this one came pretty close to you getting
off a plane. Thank you for always finding time for US.
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafana appreciate it.
Speaker 12 (30:55):
Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 10 (30:58):
I'm a land no man in Marna, Tennessee, and my
morning show it is your morning show.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Michael Dale journal President Biden telling the world leaders some
things are more important, staying in power. Forecasters tracking tropical
Storm Helene, who will be a Cat three hurricane maybe
a bigger problem for Atlanta than Florida. And Ryan Ruth
is officially being charged with attempted assassination of a major
presidential candidate. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris is in Pennsylvania.
(31:28):
Former President Donald Trump is in North Carolina. John Decker
has to follow whoever wins for the next four years,
and he's busy following them all in these battleground states.
Good morning, John, Good morning to you, Michael.
Speaker 12 (31:40):
Yes, busy day.
Speaker 13 (31:41):
It's out on the campaign trail. Less than six weeks
to go until the presidential election. Early voting started in
many states all across the country today. The Vice president
will be in the battleground state of Pennsylvania in Pittsburgh today.
She will detail her economic plans should she be elected president.
Donald Trump, meanwhile, will be in North Carolina today. North
(32:03):
Carolina is a state which is so close, and that's
the reason why Trump has traveled to the tar Hill
state so often, so.
Speaker 12 (32:12):
Often over the course of the past few weeks.
Speaker 13 (32:14):
Of course, I don't think he's going to mention the
lieutenant governor of North Carolina who's running to be governor,
given all the scandal that has surrounded him.
Speaker 12 (32:22):
Nor do I think that Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson will.
Speaker 13 (32:25):
Accompany Donald Trump on this campaign.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Of course, yeah, of course he's thinking about Sue and CNN.
I don't delight the misfortune of others that that is
what has been dug up is mortifying. But what's key
to that is, if you go by the latest polls,
Trump's leading by zero point one tenth of a percent,
and he wasn't expected to win anyway. But if X
(32:48):
number don't show up, North Carolina could be in play.
He's smart to be there in North Carolina. And North
Carolina everybody talks about, well, how's Pennsylvania goes? Well? Yeah,
but Virginia flips or North Carolina flips. That could be
the story. You know, you got to look at how
it all plays out. Virginia's within two points now Trump
(33:10):
expect a visit maybe there. North Carolina I think becomes
absolutely North Carolina and Georgia become absolutely key for I
think Donald Trump right now. But what I found interesting
was Harrison, Pennsylvania. That's smart. Pittsburgh. That's not the part
of the state she plans to do very well, is it.
I guess that's why she's there.
Speaker 12 (33:28):
No, she and Biden did well in Pittsburgh itself.
Speaker 13 (33:32):
These are the two pockets of blue in Pennsylvania that
are reliably blue. It's Pittsburgh, it's suburbs Philadelphia, it's suburbs.
It's the rest of the state that Republicans do well in.
But those are the less populated areas. And so she
needs to get our vote totals up on the western
part of Pennsylvania as well as the southeast part of
(33:55):
Pennsylvania to offset that Republican advantage in the rest of
the state.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
And I've been dying to get in with you before
we have to go one pole. Everybody's talking about when
they're not. The one they're talking about is Quinnipiac. Dead heat.
By the way, dead heat may not spell very good
news for Kamala Harris. The gallup pole was the interesting
one because it showed in the top ten issues, Trump
leads in nine of those issues. If this was about issues,
(34:19):
he'd be on track for a landslide. But it's not.
And the question is why.
Speaker 13 (34:25):
Well, it's because Donald Trump carries baggage along with him,
besides just his record, besides his plans should he be
electric president, and that baggage is problematic for him. You know,
that baggage is the reason why he lost in twenty twenty.
You know, there were people that may have liked his
policies but just didn't like all the extraneous things that
(34:46):
he brings to the table as the president.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
We're all in this together.
