(00:21):
here now. Enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Three, starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
In this together.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
This is your morning Show with Michael del Jordan six.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Minutes after the hour, and good Friday morning to you.
The sun is rising on Florida after being pounded by
Hurricane Helene, a Cat four when made landfall one hundred
and forty mile an hour, sustained winds, and unsurvivable twenty
foot storm surge. We're seeing the damage as the sun
comes up on Florida. Meanwhile, not much time to spend
(01:00):
there because we're watching Helen move inland and creating flooding
damage as far north as North Carolina. Helen the big
story of the day. Iranian Prime Minige the Israeli Prime
Minister rather Benjamin bb Netanyaho's set to address the UN
General Assembly. That'll be a lot of protests outside, had
a lot of genuine truth inside. And meanwhile, Donald Trump,
(01:22):
it's his turn. I guess he's bat and third and
visiting with Ukrainian President. Wait, why am I doing this story?
Suffer not night, President.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Not today.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
He's when we all say hail to he has the
power because he takes a shower. Ladies and gentlemen, it's
Friday with forty five. Good morning, mister president.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Well, it's a great morning. We're finally going to talk
to I think it says Zelinski. You know that President
Zelinsky I got along very well with when I was
president the first and now he's here campaigning for somebody else,
which is very interesting because if she wins, they're going
to have a lot of problems. But we're doing well.
(02:05):
Florida's doing well. That hurricane was going to come right
over Mari a Lago, but I told it, you don't
want to do that, and it went somewhere else. You
know that they're not gonna mess with me. We do
peace through strength and Helene understood that, but I do
want to say. I want to say this too. If
I was your president, they wouldn't have even been hurricane that.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I want to go back to Zelenski because I will
say this. You have a real war with a real superpower,
the Soviet Union, and freedom at stake in Ukraine. All right,
So that is a real war ongoing. You have a
commander in chief Joe Biden, and a vice president next
in line. And when she shamelessly in a news conference,
(02:49):
I mean, why did he have to meet with both
the vice president and the president, But she shamelessly made
it about you? And how if she's president? Because it's
core to our beliefs, we will fight for freedom. Because
everybody but Donald Trump knows if Putin wins in Ukraine,
he'll move on to Poland why do they keep presenting
(03:09):
such a false narrative. All you've ever said is if
you were a president, he never would have invaded. All
you've said is if you're elected president, you will have
a solution for this before you even take the oath
of office. You've never stated you wouldn't back Ukraine or
that you would back the former Soviet Union Russia. I mean,
why do they keep positioning you this way.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Well, I'll tell you this. You know, I got along
well with Putin, and they don't like that. But I
got along very well with Putin. And our current president
we call him crooked. Joe Biden does not get along
well with Putin. As a matter of fact, he goes.
I call it with Putin, because that's about all that
happens every time they get together. It's like Operation to
Zero at the Vatican, but a little different. Russia, Russia, Russia.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
But you have a.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Problem right now, they've got a problem. We love Ukraine.
Well with Ukraine, they did very well with us.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
You know, Putin wasn't in there.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
He wasn't over there. Now he's over there, and they
like these other people. The reason why Isalitski likes these
other people, he doesn't care. He loves the blank checks.
And we're going to stop that. You know, when you
keep running through our money, we're going to make sure
something's in it for us.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
We don't do that.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
We don't do blank We don't.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Do blank checks.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
You're going to do something for me and then I
can give you something, But we don't do blank And
a good friend of mine, his name is Bobby Kennedy.
We love Bobby, him Bobby, We call him Bobby, and
you know we love Bobby. But he said no blank
checks and he's a very strong believer for in America
(04:46):
first right now. So we love Bobby. But Ukraine is
a disaster and we're going to sell that. I'll tell
Vladimir Putin to go back to Russia. Russia, Rushia played
with the nesting dolls. You know, you start with the
big one, it looks like Chris Christy, you open it up,
Brook comes out, Andy bay Hard. They get smaller and
smaller until you get to the tiny, tiny one, which
(05:06):
looks like Ronda Sanctimonius from Florida.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
We loved him.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
He's doing a great job, but you will play with
your nestling though. Get the hell out of Ukraine, and
he's going to do that when I'm your president again.
We're going to help those people. But Zalinski is doing
a very bad job. He's canceling elections that he's.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Doing a very bad job.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I played a clip earlier in the show where you
see the second gentleman, Doug talking about his wife with
Michael Strahan on ABC and when Michael Strahan says, you know,
a lot of people are critical, saying, if there's all
these problems, why didn't she fix them while she was
in office? And then, of course Dougie says, well, she
was vice president, not president. But then on the campaign trail,
we play the audio and of course she's side by
(05:47):
side with Joe in the war room. She's side by
side leading all of the president's plans to make America
safe and prosperous. So the question becomes, which is it?
And then yesterday, just to add to the whole visual,
she finally goes to the border. Kamala, Kamala, kamala. What
do you make of all that?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well, i'll tell you of this. First of all, you
look at doug you know, they call them Dougie. And
they went to a gas station. It was beautiful, and
it was like Jack and Jill went up a hill
to fetch a pail of water. They went to a
gas station to fetch a bag of doritos.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Remember that.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
And she said, Dougie, where did you find those? This
woman is a stupid person. What do you mean, where
did you find them? There's a beautiful rack, and so
I find you there's doritos. You could turn around and
get it. I built the rack with my own two hands.
We love Doritos. But she said, Dougie, where did you
find the dorritos? This is a stupid person. This is
(06:48):
a stupid person who's lying now about McDonald's. She's one
of the dumbest people I think we've ever seen. And
you have Dougie, who's running around with the dorritos in
his head, say what's he wasn't the president, she was
the vice president. But then you have the president, you
have Crooked Joe saying she's the greatest, she's the best,
and we all know that's a lie because he says
(07:10):
everything he says is a lie. But you see that
she was there last person in the room and quite frankly,
dumbest person in the room. And that's why we're going
to be here no matter what Douggie Dorito says.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
We're going to be there Fridays with forty five. All right, Well,
Kamala's got Dougie, you got Milanya and she was on
Fox and Friends, mister President.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yes, yes, the Russians are hacking my phone. Okay, I
don't know what's going happened.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I don't know what, but She was for the podcast
Mister President, will make You look good?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I probi no, we do find no worry about it.
It's okay. That was the greatest dead air the world
is ever like that. It was so tremendous.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
We had a hack.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It came from rusts Russia, Russia, or maybe it came
from China or who the hell knows what's going on.
It could be somebody. It could be my FBI agent.
We say hello to Phil, I Phil, how are you
good morning? I hope you're okay from the storm. Never
would have happened if I was your president. We love Malania.
She was on Fox and Friends. And sometimes Fox are
(08:20):
our friends, and sometimes they're not. For most of the.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Time they are yet and she's always the Fox.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
You look at her. She's a tremendous person. It's so beautiful,
you know, you can see that, so beautiful. Nobody's ever
seen somebody and they say, you know, they say, past
this prime, all of these things, absolutely not have you
seen her.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
She's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
So I will tell you this. She was on Fox
and Friends and she wrote a book, and her book
is very good, probably the second greatest book in the world,
you know, is out of the deal, Art of the Deal.
You understand that. But I taught her, and I write
that book. I taught her everything. She knows that she's
hear a tremendous job. It's a seller, which means it's
(09:01):
selling very well for those people who don't understand it best.
And it's a great seller. It's a tremendous seller. It's
a greater seller than people than Dorothy when she hid
in the cellar with the Wizard of Us, she wasn't
able to get there. It's a wonderful seller, this book.
And Maloney is doing a fantastic job. And she did
a wonderful job on Fox and trends. These people are
(09:22):
horrible people saying bad things about me, and it's getting
people hurt, and she wants that to stop.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Well, she obviously the Left is trying to portray her
as there's trouble at home, and that's why people don't
see her on the campaign trail. That's why she wasn't
very present at the convention other than an appearance that
didn't speak, But she had some pretty poignant words to
say about the assassination attempt. Can't you bring up part
of the deal? I've read your book. Have you read mine?
(09:49):
Pete's a Boy her Delivery?
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I have read.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Let me tell you something, I've read every book in
the history of literature. I know them all. I wrote them.
I won't believe it or not. It works very hard
with people like doctor Seuss. He said, I will not
eat I will not eat green eggs and ham. I
will not eat them, Lindsey Graham, I will not eat
them in South Carolina or with the virus that came
from China. I will not eat them. With Mitch McConnell
(10:15):
or that horrible person you know it's coming, Rosie O'Donnell,
I will run eat green eggs and ham.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
So, I worked very hard with doctor Seuss. I worked
very hard with you may know him, A lot of
people know him, William Shakespeare. I called him Bill. He's
a great guy. I said, Bill, to be or not
to be? He said, so, that's a genius thing to say.
I said, you can put it in there. Don't let
anybody know you got it.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Called the Bill. You called him Bill, called him Bill,
great day.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I called him Bill. We called doctor SEUs Doc. I said, Doc,
what are we doing here? Kat in that maga hat
we have to do it.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And by the way, I understand, Warner Brothers was listening
into the conversation and they heard what's up, Doc, and
that was history in and of itself. Well, all right,
final question Tom for Kamala Harris. She said, cotton paste
from Joe Biden. Her message to Iran. Don't your message,
I'll blow you to smithereens. Could you have been more direct?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Well, they understood the assignment right. They left us alone.
It goes back to the way. It's called peace through strength.
It's a tremendous thing, and we're very strong. When I
was on the phone with the Caliban, you know, the Taliban,
he's a banded people.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
They've never been good people.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
And the leader of the Taliban his name was Abdul,
and I said, Abdul, this is a fantastic house you have,
although I probably would have built it out of gold
not mud. But that's okay. This is a beautiful house
and we're going to destroy it if you're in there.
He said, sir, why would you do that? Leave our
people alone. She's over there saying don't. And guess what
(11:57):
keeps happening. They keep doing They keep getting into trouble
over there in the Middle East. Nobody's listening to her.
They don't like women, first of all. But she's a
bad person and a stupid person.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
But they won't listen to her.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
They don't like her. She's an horrible person. When I'm
your president, we bankrupted Iran when I was your president.
When they're running the show, they're getting billions and billions
of dollars, we're giving it away, and that Israel gets
attacked and then all these horrible things are happening. The
Iranian people are bad, not the people, but the government
is very bad. The Afghanistan you have the Taliban. These
(12:35):
are bad people and they respect strength. They do not
respect weakness. And these are very weak and stupid people.
When I was your president, and when I'm your president again,
Iran is going to behave themselves or they're going to
It's called fa f oh. We know what it stands for.
And when UFA you find out, that's what's going to happen.
(12:56):
And these people are going to find out. We took
out Solomani. We took out al Bagdaddy member al Beg Dad,
like a dog. We took him out. He died like
a dog. We took him out. He was crying and screaming.
Nobody wants to go out that way. So when I'm
your president again, they're going to know that's a possibility
if they don't keep themselves in line, and we're going
(13:17):
to keep them in line.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
There you have it, Friday with forty five. That's why
we say Hail to the Chief. He's the one we
all say hail to, mister President. Thank you so much
for your time.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
This morning, very very much.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Thank you so much, pe broy the art of the Delivery,
beautiful book.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
It's a beautiful book. Well, I stole a lot love
it from you. All Right, there's your Friday with forty five.
When we come back, not one, not two, not three,
but top five stories of the day, a visit with
John Decker, next half hour, and the latest down Helena
and now wreaking havoc in Atlanta. When your morning.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Show continues, This is your Morning Show with Michael do Tuono.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Well, all eyes are on Hurricane Helen. Still wreaking havoc
in North Carolina and as far north as Asheville, North Carolina,
but made landfall in Perry, Florida. And NBC News is
Jesse Kersh who was reporting live when she made landfall
as a Cat four.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
We really sticking up right now. We got some to refly,
and we're going back and shop.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Guys, we're gonna have back and stay with us. Second
ef we want, We're gonna head back in right now.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Helen came ashore with maximum sustained wins of one hundred
and forty miles an hour. Perry is in Taylor County.
That's about forty five miles southeast of Tallahassee. The storm surge,
described as unsurvivable, was predicted to reach about twenty feet.
As the sun comes up, we're seeing the dab the
damage that occurred in the middle of the night. Hurricane
Helen's the strongest and widest and biggest hurricane to ever
(14:41):
hit Florida's Big Ben region. Blamed for at least three deaths.
We expect that death toll to rise, and now three
million without power. Jack Crumley's going to be joining us
next half hour with the very latest on Helen. In
her first full statement since the federal indictment of the
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, New York Governor Kathy
Hocal hints she may take action against him too. Now
(15:03):
she's the hr person on the team's call. Andrew Whitman reports.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
In the Thursday night statement, Governor hokel, who has the
power to remove Adams from office, wrote she is reviewing
her quote, options and obligations, describing the Adams indictment as quote,
the latest and a disturbing pattern of events that has
contributed to a sense of unease. Local wrote quote, I
expect the Mayor to take the next few days to
review the situation and find an appropriate path forward to
(15:31):
ensure the people of New York City are being well
served by their leaders. Hocal and Adams have been key
allies since each took office. Andrew Whitman, NBC News Radio,
New York.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Kamala Harris finally made a run to the border, and
as for Donald Trump, he's wondering why she didn't fix
the border four years ago. Brian Shook has more, why
would she go to the border now?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Playing right into the.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Hand of her opponent, Take a look at this, why
would you do that?
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Speaking from New York City on Thursday, Trump criticized Harris
for visiting the Arizona border on Friday, saying she could
have fixed it as vice president. He claims Harris willfully
open the border, helping to destroy our border. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Everybody's working for the weeknd. Now what pree Tennis knows.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Franciscan Health says one third of us will nap during
our time off work, and that's good because napping improves
mood and increases creativity. But job site Monsters says all
that napping cuts into fun and that causes seventy six
percent of us to suffer from something called the Sunday
night blues. And it's not the reality of returning to work,
they say, it's the reality that sleep is more important
(16:45):
than play.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I'm pre Tennis.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
NFL football Giants had some Thursday night blues. They fall
to one and three, losing twenty to fifteen to the Cowboys.
Cowboys now two and two. Big games in the NFL
this weekend for our cities of your morning show, Vikings, Packers,
a huge matchup Bucks and Eagles, Cardinals and Commanders, Browns
and Raiders, Titans and Dolphins. I think even without a quarterback,
the Dolphins can win because they're playing somebody. But we're
(17:10):
going to see that appen. And the Seahawks will be
on Monday Night football against the Lions. You do have
college football tonight Virginia Tech and Miami. Miami ranked seventh
in the country. You also have Oklahoma State and k
State this weekend, which is a great matchup. But the
big game number two Georgia versus number four Alabama, that
is our game of the week. Hey, Gang, it's me Michael.
You can listen to your morning show live. Make us
(17:32):
a part of your morning routine or your drive to
work companion on great stations like Talk Radio ninety eight
point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville Twofolow's News
and Talk one to one point one and ten sixty WKMQ,
and how about Talk six to fifty KSTE and Sacramento, California.
Love to have you listen live. But are grateful you're
here now for the podcast. Enjoy on the Aaron streaming
(17:54):
live on your iHeartRadio app. This show belongs to you.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael. That's Jeffrey running
the controls. And of course all eyes are on where
Hurricane Helen made impact and landfall and the damage in Florida.
But Helene just kept going wreaking havoc. So we have
three million people without power, a million of them from Florida.
(18:15):
We also have flooding issues. Atlanta getting pounded now with
flooding issues and flooding predicted as far north as Asheville,
North Carolina. We're going to get more with Jack Crumley
coming up in just mere minutes from right now. And well,
you know, Kamala really hasn't gotten away with avoiding interviews
or even avoiding the border, so you might as well
(18:36):
go to it. She'll be in Douglas, Arizona today where
she plans to speak about border security. White House correspondent
John Decker has that story, and John, I guess you
can't avoid it. You gotta go, But I think I
know the questions that'll come of it.
Speaker 8 (18:49):
Well, you have to realize everything that Donald Trump and
Kamala Harris do between now and November the Fifth is
geared towards one set of voters, and that undecided voters.
If you've already made up your mind about Kamala Harris
and her issue of border security, you don't really care
about today's trip to Douglas, Arizona. But if you're an
(19:12):
undecided voter, maybe you view this through the prism of
well at least she realizes there's a problem. Least at
least she's going to the border and confronting it for
the first time since since she's become the Democratic presidential nominee.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Now, when you go inside the polling numbers, this, like
the economy, is an issue that favors Donald Trump greatly.
On the border specifically, though, the problem is the last
poll I was reading, she fared even worse with independent voters,
not that independent or undecided. We don't really have any
polls on how each issue fares out with undecided voters.
(19:48):
But it's a tough one. But I'm with you, she's
got to try to do it. I played an audio
clip of The Second Gentleman and Doug was on with
Michael Strahan on ABC, and when Michael Strahan says, you
know a lot of criticism for Kamala and when she
talks about the border, if it's so broke, why didn't
she fix it in the last four years? And of
course in that Doug says, well, she was vice president.
(20:10):
But then on the campaign trail when he gives speeches, Oh,
she was side by side leading with Joe Biden in
the war room and doing things to make America great,
and it's difficult to have it both ways. It's a
tough topic for her no matter how you cut it.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Well, that's right. It's always difficult when you are a
vice president looking for a promotion because you own the good,
you own the bad. You can't, you know, separate the two.
And that's often the reason why vice presidents often have
difficulty of getting that promotion from voters. Some have done it,
George H. W. Bush has done it. Al Gore was
(20:46):
unable to do it. So you know, it's one of
those difficult tasks. It's a fine line that you have
to walk, and you know that's what Kamala Harris is
trying to do.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Right now. We're visiting with White House correspondent John Decker.
When this is all said and done, whoever wins to
follow for four years trying to figure out who's going
to win. Odds or dead even for betting the polls
are dead, even although I went through earlier this morning,
because you're a nerd about this too, like I am.
And that two seventy map and the more I play
(21:15):
with it, the more I come to North Carolina is
the key, and right now Donald Trump's leading North Carolina
is less than one half of one percentage. So this
is crazy, crazy close.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
Yeah, it is crazy close. And you know, I don't
see anything to change that. You know, between now and
November the fifth. Now, there's a debate that's on the schedule,
but most people don't make their decision on president based
upon a vice presidential debate. But having said that, I'll
be at that debate Michael Tuesday night, New York City,
and it's going to be an interesting moment in the
(21:47):
campaign for jd. Vance and Tim Walls being in the spotlight.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You know, I'm looking at like the Georgia Alabama game.
To use a sports analogy, I expect Georgia to beat Alabama,
but it's a one point spread. It could go either way,
and it's probably like some of the intangibles that will
make the difference. Or wherever we have a really close
super Bowl, it's never the Superstars. It ends up. It
ends up a guy blocking a punt or a guy
returning a kickoff. And I'm looking at a story. It's
(22:15):
a new poll that shows voters moving to the right
on tax cuts, and you'll wonder, is it gonna maybe
not be Pennsylvania and be more of a North Carolina
or Wisconsin story. You wonder if, at the end of
the day, as much as all things are equal everywhere else,
one was pushing tax increases, one was pushing restoring and
(22:36):
or making greater sustaining I should say, the tax cuts
and renewing them and making even greater cuts. And it
could be something like that. I mean, it's just impossible
to prognosticate.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Yeah, it is, and that's why, as you point out,
it's the betting odds are just break down the middle,
you know, And that's the reason why it's such an
interesting race. Not only are the betting number essentially right
down the middle, but you also have energy on both sides,
which is rare in presidential elections. There's excitement and energy
(23:08):
for Democrats, there's excitement energy for Republicans, and now it's
just a matter of who can get out their supporters
in greater numbers.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Do we have sixty seconds? I want to do one
thing real quick. I don't know if we have time doing. Okay,
So you had me laughing all day yesterday whenever there
was a lie, well, I would just start giggling because
we were talking about Zelensky and I was like, well,
you know, Donald Trump said that if he was president,
the war would have never happened. That doesn't mean he
wouldn't he doesn't support Ukraine. He said that if he
(23:38):
gets re elected, he'll solve this before he even takes
the oath of office. He didn't say he's going to
turn his back on them. I said, you could maybe
attach that curiosity to Vance, but you really can't to Trump.
And he really hasn't been very specific, quite frankly, about
what he would do. And then you just won. Well,
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I just I just started correct.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, that's kind of where it is. But you know,
the funny part about the whole Zelensky thing Yesterday, I
thought Kamala was shameless and inappropriate, and the way she
turned her news conference with him into a campaign event,
I thought that was really inappropriate in an ongoing war.
But you know, he made his rounds to Biden, he
made his rounds to Kamala today he makes him with Trump.
Make no mistake about it. This is a sales call
(24:20):
for Zelenski.
Speaker 8 (24:22):
Oh yeah, it's really important. And don't you understand. I mean,
after all, he wants to meet with the current President
for the future President meeting with both Harris and Trump.
Trump's visit coming as you point out today in New
York City at Trump Tower.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
All right, it's a busy news day. Of course, Helene
is the main focus of John. You have a great weekend,
and we'll talk again on Monday, Michael, all right, we'll
get an update on Helen with Jack just coming up
and moment. And now from the numbers, speak for himself.
This was a really big storm, two hundred and twenty
miles wide, a Cat four, very defined a unique trajectory
(24:59):
to they hit the South Bend Panhandle the way it did,
and the largest storm ever to do so. It arrived
as a Cat four with an unsurvivable storm surge of
up to twenty feet. And as the sun has risen
this morning, we're seeing the damage. But Helena is still
busy making damage. Three million without power and flooding issues.
Atlanta getting hammered right now with threats of flooding, but
(25:21):
we're expecting that as far north as Asheville, North Carolina.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is set to be
a ragned today on multiple federal corruption charges, and meanwhile,
his own governor Governor hokel is saying, you know, I
have the power to fire him, and I'm I'm considering
all my options. Now she's turning into the hur hatchet person.
And then two things have fascinated me. One, a majority
(25:42):
of Americans have faith in the accuracy of casting and
counting votes. Okay, that's the headline, but it's only fifty
seven percent. If you're living in a country that depends
on a trusted, free, fair election, you got forty three
percent of Americans floating around and about. I don't mind
adding seventy two percent of Republicans thinking otherwise that's not faith.
(26:07):
That's a really big problem. And the story simply doesn't
match the headline. This is the saddus news I can
give you, and it kind of goes along with our
journey of discovery, which was this generation is passing on
more than thirty six trillion dollars of debt to the
next generation. But our matrix dysfunction and the name of joy, intolerance,
(26:28):
and inclusion, what do you really have hatred, division, intolerance
and exclusion. And so the Anderson Cooper three sixty did
a study with kindergardeners about how they view presidents and politics.
And what did they find? By eight hundred percent, the
children of Democrats are not willing to go to a
(26:50):
Republican child's house. Does that sound like joy? Does that
sound like the robbing of innocence we want for our children.
It's one of the most tragic stories I can tell
you that just as we pass on sins generationally, our
abandonment of God and absolute truth for moral relativism hijacked
(27:12):
by hyper focus on politics. Now all the ridiculous childish
fighting that's been going on inside the Beltway is happening
in our homes, in our neighborhoods, and all over social media. Congratulations,
love thy neighbor as thyself, even love your enemies. That's gone.
And if you think we're the divided States of America today,
(27:36):
what does tomorrow look like? And as we've often warned,
you remove God, you remove man and man's identity. That's
why you have nothing but chaos. And what's the endgame
of it? Hopelessness, which leads to depression and suicide, which
(27:56):
continues to be a christis facing our country. Final story.
Suicide levels remain at about the highest level in history.
CDC Data reports nearly fifty thousand suicide deaths in twenty
twenty three, but when investigations are concluded, the number could
increase greatly. Suicide was the eleventh leading cause of death
(28:19):
in all age groups in twenty twenty one and twenty
twenty two, and more prevalent among those aged ten to
thirty four. Perhaps maybe we also passed along hopelessness to
our children as well. Parents wake up one at a time.
Our kids are watching, they're listening, and now our problems
(28:44):
become their big problem.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I'm executive Chef George Harvell.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
My morning show is your Morning Show with Michael Dojorna.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
All attention is on Hurricane Helene, the strongest storm to
ever hit Florida's Big Ben region. The problem is there's
the damage Helene has caused, which we're getting our first
morning glimpses of, and the damage she's still causing. For both,
we turned to Jack Crumley Jack the Morning.
Speaker 9 (29:11):
Yeah, good morning, A lot of ground to cover, and
you guys are sort of in the thick of things
now between rain and power outages.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Well over three million now power outages, about a million
of them are Floridians. But that'll give you an idea
of what We knew Helena's storm surge would be a
big problem making landfall, but the amount of rain and
power outages and flooding, and how quickly would this trajectory
boom you're in Atlanta, metro boom, you're in Nashville. She's
(29:40):
kind of living out exactly what we were concerned about
before she arrived.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, this storm is living up to
just about every expectation that we've had so far in
terms of you just mentioned Atlanta four to six inches
of rain so far. More is still coming. There is
a flash flood emergency that has been issued for the
city of Atlanta, the first time that's ever been done.
People in that city being told to seek higher ground.
There have been dozens of water rescues already, Atlanta seeing
(30:06):
the highest three day rainfall in more than a century
there and similar flash flowd emergencies being issued for Asheville,
North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Can you believe that as far north as Asheville, North Carolina,
a Category four hurricane that hits the Big Bend region
of Florida the Panhandle is having that kind of effect?
And what are we looking? I mean, are we what
nine hours from landfall?
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (30:32):
Yeah, essentially nine ten hours from landfall. And you know,
when I got up early this morning to start checking
things out, it was still a Category one hurricane over
Georgia south of Atlanta, swung a little further east I
think than people were expecting, and South Carolina has been
seeing a bit more rain than I think some initial
projections had. I was just speaking with a friend of
mine who lives in Greenville, Spartanburg, and they're completely blacked
(30:53):
out and being told, you know, don't go outside until
much later on this afternoon. And we're just now starting
to get an idea of the damage in Florida itself.
I just saw a quote from the police chief of Perry, Florida,
that is right in the area where the storm came
ashore in Taylor County, the police chief and Perry saying
we weren't aggressive enough with evacuations. The Taylor County Sheriff
(31:15):
put out word yesterday saying, if you're not going to evacuate,
do us a favor and get a permanent marker and
write your name and your birth date on your arms
so we can identify you.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
You know, whenever you're in a hurricane area, you worry
about the cry wolf that people make storms bigger than
they're going to be, and that's really dangerous to do
because then there is a dangerous one and they end
up writing out something they shouldn't ride out. But I
mean what we're talking about with Helena, I grew up
New Orleans. I mean, we had the plywood boards that
were custom fit for all our windows. They were stored
(31:45):
in the attic and you brought them and put them
on the windows. We knew, we had the city pumps,
we knew all this. But you're talking about metro areas
that aren't used to category ones arriving in their city
and handling that kind of flooding. That's the part that
scared me the about Helena that's playing out right now.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:02):
I mean the city of Atlanta, the people being told
in that city, an incredibly densely populated city to seek
higher ground. That's a wild thing to be told before
the sleeven comes up.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Yeah, especially when usually they're always trapped down the highway. Hey,
you know what highlight of the week was meeting you Jack.
Great work and following Helena. I know you'll continue it
throughout the day.
Speaker 9 (32:23):
Hey, thanks very much.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Guys, take care you got it fifty four minutes after
the hour. One last talk back that reminds me of
the Donald Trump earlier when he said greatest dead air
in history, somedth we can do. Why am I not
hearing it? I think we had a slight bump problem.
But here we go.
Speaker 10 (32:42):
Good morning, Michael. I think you should tell your hurricane
story about the time you worked with Pat Robbinson at CUDN. Anyway,
have a great day, stay safe, all right, make a lot.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
That's obviously a Nashville listener who's known me for sixteen
seventeen years listening a strange thing about me. I going
to be a pastor. I ended up not being a pastor,
ended up being radio, and then radio led me to
being vice president of for Pat Robertson of CBN. I
was over the CBN News Networks, CBN Music Networks. I
was over all the state run Networks, which was the
(33:14):
Florida Radio network in Florida. I was over everything but
the seven hundred Club and the Family Channel. But what
was odd was it put me in boardrooms with people
that were over ministries and so we're in you know,
there's a hurricane coming, and you know most people. I mean,
Pat was great. He was just like he isn't a
TV so if he didn't like him on TV, you
(33:34):
wouldn't like him in real life. But I would say
he's probably funnier. And I used to you know, I
was twenty six years old, so you know, I like,
I was fascinated with how big his head was. And
one time I tried to measure and he was like
it crazy, Get away from me. We'd be cracking up.
So anyway, we're in this board meeting and the hurricanes
coming and at that time they didn't know I mean,
at that point the Bulls, I really was Virginia Beach,
(33:57):
Norfolk and you know, so I'm around all these ministry
people and I'm a radio guy, and they're gonna pray
about the storm. And so Pat starts praying it's just
like the seven hundred Club his eyes, Quinton, Lord, I'm
asking you to direct those winds and turn this storm
to North Carolina. Wow. And so I'm like the only
one who would be dumb enough to do this. I
(34:18):
went right in the middle of the prayer. I'm like, Pat,
we can't do that. If I still in prayer, mot
prayerfect what what what well. I mean, that's not fair.
So we're gonna we're gonna pray the storm away from
us to harm other people. That doesn't seem like a
good prayer.
Speaker 11 (34:34):
Listen, If they're not smart enough to be praying, that's
their problem.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
You know. Next thing, you know, the storm did hit
North Carolina. What was that that hurricane was? I forgot
the name of it wasn't Andrew. Andrew hit Florida.
Speaker 11 (34:47):
I think I can't remember what one it was, but
sure enough it pounded North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
But I.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Interrupted Pat the middle of praise at the FRA room.
Speaker 11 (34:58):
You can't if they're not smart enough to be pray. So,
you know, today, I just want to end on that note.
It's a news story, but there are some real tragic
human stories playing out right now as we speak on
the air. The view from the ground where it hits
is far different than the view on your television.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Keep a lot of people in a lot of states
in your thoughts and prayers today as we're getting our
first glimpses of the damage Alina has caused and continues
to cause.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Devel Journo
Hi, I'm Michael del Jorno, and your morning show can
be heard live as it's happening five to eight am
Central and six to nine Eastern on great stations like
six twenty WJDX and Jackson, Mississippi, or Akrons, News Talk
six forty w HLO and Akron, Ohio and News Radio
five seventy WDAK and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine, but we're glad you're
(00:21):
here now. Enjoy the podcast two.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Three, starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
In this together.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
This is your morning Show with Michael del Jordan six.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Minutes after the hour, and good Friday morning to you.
The sun is rising on Florida after being pounded by
Hurricane Helene, a Cat four when made landfall one hundred
and forty mile an hour, sustained winds, and unsurvivable twenty
foot storm surge. We're seeing the damage as the sun
comes up on Florida. Meanwhile, not much time to spend
(01:00):
there because we're watching Helen move inland and creating flooding
damage as far north as North Carolina. Helen the big
story of the day. Iranian Prime Minige the Israeli Prime
Minister rather Benjamin bb Netanyaho's set to address the UN
General Assembly. That'll be a lot of protests outside, had
a lot of genuine truth inside. And meanwhile, Donald Trump,
(01:22):
it's his turn. I guess he's bat and third and
visiting with Ukrainian President. Wait, why am I doing this story?
Suffer not night, President.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Not today.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
He's when we all say hail to he has the
power because he takes a shower. Ladies and gentlemen, it's
Friday with forty five. Good morning, mister president.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Well, it's a great morning. We're finally going to talk
to I think it says Zelinski. You know that President
Zelinsky I got along very well with when I was
president the first and now he's here campaigning for somebody else,
which is very interesting because if she wins, they're going
to have a lot of problems. But we're doing well.
(02:05):
Florida's doing well. That hurricane was going to come right
over Mari a Lago, but I told it, you don't
want to do that, and it went somewhere else. You
know that they're not gonna mess with me. We do
peace through strength and Helene understood that, but I do
want to say. I want to say this too. If
I was your president, they wouldn't have even been hurricane that.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I want to go back to Zelenski because I will
say this. You have a real war with a real superpower,
the Soviet Union, and freedom at stake in Ukraine. All right,
So that is a real war ongoing. You have a
commander in chief Joe Biden, and a vice president next
in line. And when she shamelessly in a news conference,
(02:49):
I mean, why did he have to meet with both
the vice president and the president, But she shamelessly made
it about you? And how if she's president? Because it's
core to our beliefs, we will fight for freedom. Because
everybody but Donald Trump knows if Putin wins in Ukraine,
he'll move on to Poland why do they keep presenting
(03:09):
such a false narrative. All you've ever said is if
you were a president, he never would have invaded. All
you've said is if you're elected president, you will have
a solution for this before you even take the oath
of office. You've never stated you wouldn't back Ukraine or
that you would back the former Soviet Union Russia. I mean,
why do they keep positioning you this way.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Well, I'll tell you this. You know, I got along
well with Putin, and they don't like that. But I
got along very well with Putin. And our current president
we call him crooked. Joe Biden does not get along
well with Putin. As a matter of fact, he goes.
I call it with Putin, because that's about all that
happens every time they get together. It's like Operation to
Zero at the Vatican, but a little different. Russia, Russia, Russia.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
But you have a.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Problem right now, they've got a problem. We love Ukraine.
Well with Ukraine, they did very well with us.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
You know, Putin wasn't in there.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
He wasn't over there. Now he's over there, and they
like these other people. The reason why Isalitski likes these
other people, he doesn't care. He loves the blank checks.
And we're going to stop that. You know, when you
keep running through our money, we're going to make sure
something's in it for us.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
We don't do that.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
We don't do blank We don't.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Do blank checks.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
You're going to do something for me and then I
can give you something, But we don't do blank And
a good friend of mine, his name is Bobby Kennedy.
We love Bobby, him Bobby, We call him Bobby, and
you know we love Bobby. But he said no blank
checks and he's a very strong believer for in America
(04:46):
first right now. So we love Bobby. But Ukraine is
a disaster and we're going to sell that. I'll tell
Vladimir Putin to go back to Russia. Russia, Rushia played
with the nesting dolls. You know, you start with the
big one, it looks like Chris Christy, you open it up,
Brook comes out, Andy bay Hard. They get smaller and
smaller until you get to the tiny, tiny one, which
(05:06):
looks like Ronda Sanctimonius from Florida.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
We loved him.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
He's doing a great job, but you will play with
your nestling though. Get the hell out of Ukraine, and
he's going to do that when I'm your president again.
We're going to help those people. But Zalinski is doing
a very bad job. He's canceling elections that he's.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Doing a very bad job.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I played a clip earlier in the show where you
see the second gentleman, Doug talking about his wife with
Michael Strahan on ABC and when Michael Strahan says, you know,
a lot of people are critical, saying, if there's all
these problems, why didn't she fix them while she was
in office? And then, of course Dougie says, well, she
was vice president, not president. But then on the campaign trail,
we play the audio and of course she's side by
(05:47):
side with Joe in the war room. She's side by
side leading all of the president's plans to make America
safe and prosperous. So the question becomes, which is it?
And then yesterday, just to add to the whole visual,
she finally goes to the border. Kamala, Kamala, kamala. What
do you make of all that?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Well, i'll tell you of this. First of all, you
look at doug you know, they call them Dougie. And
they went to a gas station. It was beautiful, and
it was like Jack and Jill went up a hill
to fetch a pail of water. They went to a
gas station to fetch a bag of doritos.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Remember that.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
And she said, Dougie, where did you find those? This
woman is a stupid person. What do you mean, where
did you find them? There's a beautiful rack, and so
I find you there's doritos. You could turn around and
get it. I built the rack with my own two hands.
We love Doritos. But she said, Dougie, where did you
find the dorritos? This is a stupid person. This is
(06:48):
a stupid person who's lying now about McDonald's. She's one
of the dumbest people I think we've ever seen. And
you have Dougie, who's running around with the dorritos in
his head, say what's he wasn't the president, she was
the vice president. But then you have the president, you
have Crooked Joe saying she's the greatest, she's the best,
and we all know that's a lie because he says
(07:10):
everything he says is a lie. But you see that
she was there last person in the room and quite frankly,
dumbest person in the room. And that's why we're going
to be here no matter what Douggie Dorito says.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
We're going to be there Fridays with forty five. All right, Well,
Kamala's got Dougie, you got Milanya and she was on
Fox and Friends, mister President.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yes, yes, the Russians are hacking my phone. Okay, I
don't know what's going happened.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I don't know what, but She was for the podcast
Mister President, will make You look good?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
I probi no, we do find no worry about it.
It's okay. That was the greatest dead air the world
is ever like that. It was so tremendous.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
We had a hack.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
It came from rusts Russia, Russia, or maybe it came
from China or who the hell knows what's going on.
It could be somebody. It could be my FBI agent.
We say hello to Phil, I Phil, how are you
good morning? I hope you're okay from the storm. Never
would have happened if I was your president. We love Malania.
She was on Fox and Friends. And sometimes Fox are
(08:20):
our friends, and sometimes they're not. For most of the.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Time they are yet and she's always the Fox.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
You look at her. She's a tremendous person. It's so beautiful,
you know, you can see that, so beautiful. Nobody's ever
seen somebody and they say, you know, they say, past
this prime, all of these things, absolutely not have you
seen her.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
She's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
So I will tell you this. She was on Fox
and Friends and she wrote a book, and her book
is very good, probably the second greatest book in the world,
you know, is out of the deal, Art of the Deal.
You understand that. But I taught her, and I write
that book. I taught her everything. She knows that she's
hear a tremendous job. It's a seller, which means it's
(09:01):
selling very well for those people who don't understand it best.
And it's a great seller. It's a tremendous seller. It's
a greater seller than people than Dorothy when she hid
in the cellar with the Wizard of Us, she wasn't
able to get there. It's a wonderful seller, this book.
And Maloney is doing a fantastic job. And she did
a wonderful job on Fox and trends. These people are
(09:22):
horrible people saying bad things about me, and it's getting
people hurt, and she wants that to stop.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Well, she obviously the Left is trying to portray her
as there's trouble at home, and that's why people don't
see her on the campaign trail. That's why she wasn't
very present at the convention other than an appearance that
didn't speak, But she had some pretty poignant words to
say about the assassination attempt. Can't you bring up part
of the deal? I've read your book. Have you read mine?
(09:49):
Pete's a Boy her Delivery?
Speaker 5 (09:51):
I have read.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Let me tell you something, I've read every book in
the history of literature. I know them all. I wrote them.
I won't believe it or not. It works very hard
with people like doctor Seuss. He said, I will not
eat I will not eat green eggs and ham. I
will not eat them, Lindsey Graham, I will not eat
them in South Carolina or with the virus that came
from China. I will not eat them. With Mitch McConnell
(10:15):
or that horrible person you know it's coming, Rosie O'Donnell,
I will run eat green eggs and ham.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
So, I worked very hard with doctor Seuss. I worked
very hard with you may know him, A lot of
people know him, William Shakespeare. I called him Bill. He's
a great guy. I said, Bill, to be or not
to be? He said, so, that's a genius thing to say.
I said, you can put it in there. Don't let
anybody know you got it.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Called the Bill. You called him Bill, called him Bill,
great day.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
I called him Bill. We called doctor SEUs Doc. I said, Doc,
what are we doing here? Kat in that maga hat
we have to do it.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And by the way, I understand, Warner Brothers was listening
into the conversation and they heard what's up, Doc, and
that was history in and of itself. Well, all right,
final question Tom for Kamala Harris. She said, cotton paste
from Joe Biden. Her message to Iran. Don't your message,
I'll blow you to smithereens. Could you have been more direct?
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Well, they understood the assignment right. They left us alone.
It goes back to the way. It's called peace through strength.
It's a tremendous thing, and we're very strong. When I
was on the phone with the Caliban, you know, the Taliban,
he's a banded people.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
They've never been good people.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
And the leader of the Taliban his name was Abdul,
and I said, Abdul, this is a fantastic house you have,
although I probably would have built it out of gold
not mud. But that's okay. This is a beautiful house
and we're going to destroy it if you're in there.
He said, sir, why would you do that? Leave our
people alone. She's over there saying don't. And guess what
(11:57):
keeps happening. They keep doing They keep getting into trouble
over there in the Middle East. Nobody's listening to her.
They don't like women, first of all. But she's a
bad person and a stupid person.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
But they won't listen to her.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
They don't like her. She's an horrible person. When I'm
your president, we bankrupted Iran when I was your president.
When they're running the show, they're getting billions and billions
of dollars, we're giving it away, and that Israel gets
attacked and then all these horrible things are happening. The
Iranian people are bad, not the people, but the government
is very bad. The Afghanistan you have the Taliban. These
(12:35):
are bad people and they respect strength. They do not
respect weakness. And these are very weak and stupid people.
When I was your president, and when I'm your president again,
Iran is going to behave themselves or they're going to
It's called fa f oh. We know what it stands for.
And when UFA you find out, that's what's going to happen.
(12:56):
And these people are going to find out. We took
out Solomani. We took out al Bagdaddy member al Beg Dad,
like a dog. We took him out. He died like
a dog. We took him out. He was crying and screaming.
Nobody wants to go out that way. So when I'm
your president again, they're going to know that's a possibility
if they don't keep themselves in line, and we're going
(13:17):
to keep them in line.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
There you have it, Friday with forty five. That's why
we say Hail to the Chief. He's the one we
all say hail to, mister President. Thank you so much
for your time.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
This morning, very very much.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Thank you so much, pe broy the art of the Delivery,
beautiful book.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
It's a beautiful book. Well, I stole a lot love
it from you. All Right, there's your Friday with forty five.
When we come back, not one, not two, not three,
but top five stories of the day, a visit with
John Decker, next half hour, and the latest down Helena
and now wreaking havoc in Atlanta. When your morning.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Show continues, This is your Morning Show with Michael do Tuono.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Well, all eyes are on Hurricane Helen. Still wreaking havoc
in North Carolina and as far north as Asheville, North Carolina,
but made landfall in Perry, Florida. And NBC News is
Jesse Kersh who was reporting live when she made landfall
as a Cat four.
Speaker 5 (14:10):
We really sticking up right now. We got some to refly,
and we're going back and shop.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Guys, we're gonna have back and stay with us. Second
ef we want, We're gonna head back in right now.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Helen came ashore with maximum sustained wins of one hundred
and forty miles an hour. Perry is in Taylor County.
That's about forty five miles southeast of Tallahassee. The storm surge,
described as unsurvivable, was predicted to reach about twenty feet.
As the sun comes up, we're seeing the dab the
damage that occurred in the middle of the night. Hurricane
Helen's the strongest and widest and biggest hurricane to ever
(14:41):
hit Florida's Big Ben region. Blamed for at least three deaths.
We expect that death toll to rise, and now three
million without power. Jack Crumley's going to be joining us
next half hour with the very latest on Helen. In
her first full statement since the federal indictment of the
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, New York Governor Kathy
Hocal hints she may take action against him too. Now
(15:03):
she's the hr person on the team's call. Andrew Whitman reports.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
In the Thursday night statement, Governor hokel, who has the
power to remove Adams from office, wrote she is reviewing
her quote, options and obligations, describing the Adams indictment as quote,
the latest and a disturbing pattern of events that has
contributed to a sense of unease. Local wrote quote, I
expect the Mayor to take the next few days to
review the situation and find an appropriate path forward to
(15:31):
ensure the people of New York City are being well
served by their leaders. Hocal and Adams have been key
allies since each took office. Andrew Whitman, NBC News Radio,
New York.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Kamala Harris finally made a run to the border, and
as for Donald Trump, he's wondering why she didn't fix
the border four years ago. Brian Shook has more, why
would she go to the border now?
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Playing right into the.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Hand of her opponent, Take a look at this, why
would you do that?
Speaker 7 (16:01):
Speaking from New York City on Thursday, Trump criticized Harris
for visiting the Arizona border on Friday, saying she could
have fixed it as vice president. He claims Harris willfully
open the border, helping to destroy our border. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Everybody's working for the weeknd. Now what pree Tennis knows.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Franciscan Health says one third of us will nap during
our time off work, and that's good because napping improves
mood and increases creativity. But job site Monsters says all
that napping cuts into fun and that causes seventy six
percent of us to suffer from something called the Sunday
night blues. And it's not the reality of returning to work,
they say, it's the reality that sleep is more important
(16:45):
than play.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
I'm pre Tennis.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
NFL football Giants had some Thursday night blues. They fall
to one and three, losing twenty to fifteen to the Cowboys.
Cowboys now two and two. Big games in the NFL
this weekend for our cities of your morning show, Vikings, Packers,
a huge matchup Bucks and Eagles, Cardinals and Commanders, Browns
and Raiders, Titans and Dolphins. I think even without a quarterback,
the Dolphins can win because they're playing somebody. But we're
(17:10):
going to see that appen. And the Seahawks will be
on Monday Night football against the Lions. You do have
college football tonight Virginia Tech and Miami. Miami ranked seventh
in the country. You also have Oklahoma State and k
State this weekend, which is a great matchup. But the
big game number two Georgia versus number four Alabama, that
is our game of the week. Hey, Gang, it's me Michael.
You can listen to your morning show live. Make us
(17:32):
a part of your morning routine or your drive to
work companion on great stations like Talk Radio ninety eight
point three and fifteen ten WLAC and Nashville Twofolow's News
and Talk one to one point one and ten sixty WKMQ,
and how about Talk six to fifty KSTE and Sacramento, California.
Love to have you listen live. But are grateful you're
here now for the podcast. Enjoy on the Aaron streaming
(17:54):
live on your iHeartRadio app. This show belongs to you.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael. That's Jeffrey running
the controls. And of course all eyes are on where
Hurricane Helen made impact and landfall and the damage in Florida.
But Helene just kept going wreaking havoc. So we have
three million people without power, a million of them from Florida.
(18:15):
We also have flooding issues. Atlanta getting pounded now with
flooding issues and flooding predicted as far north as Asheville,
North Carolina. We're going to get more with Jack Crumley
coming up in just mere minutes from right now. And well,
you know, Kamala really hasn't gotten away with avoiding interviews
or even avoiding the border, so you might as well
(18:36):
go to it. She'll be in Douglas, Arizona today where
she plans to speak about border security. White House correspondent
John Decker has that story, and John, I guess you
can't avoid it. You gotta go, But I think I
know the questions that'll come of it.
Speaker 8 (18:49):
Well, you have to realize everything that Donald Trump and
Kamala Harris do between now and November the Fifth is
geared towards one set of voters, and that undecided voters.
If you've already made up your mind about Kamala Harris
and her issue of border security, you don't really care
about today's trip to Douglas, Arizona. But if you're an
(19:12):
undecided voter, maybe you view this through the prism of
well at least she realizes there's a problem. Least at
least she's going to the border and confronting it for
the first time since since she's become the Democratic presidential nominee.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Now, when you go inside the polling numbers, this, like
the economy, is an issue that favors Donald Trump greatly.
On the border specifically, though, the problem is the last
poll I was reading, she fared even worse with independent voters,
not that independent or undecided. We don't really have any
polls on how each issue fares out with undecided voters.
(19:48):
But it's a tough one. But I'm with you, she's
got to try to do it. I played an audio
clip of The Second Gentleman and Doug was on with
Michael Strahan on ABC, and when Michael Strahan says, you
know a lot of criticism for Kamala and when she
talks about the border, if it's so broke, why didn't
she fix it in the last four years? And of
course in that Doug says, well, she was vice president.
(20:10):
But then on the campaign trail when he gives speeches, Oh,
she was side by side leading with Joe Biden in
the war room and doing things to make America great,
and it's difficult to have it both ways. It's a
tough topic for her no matter how you cut it.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Well, that's right. It's always difficult when you are a
vice president looking for a promotion because you own the good,
you own the bad. You can't, you know, separate the two.
And that's often the reason why vice presidents often have
difficulty of getting that promotion from voters. Some have done it,
George H. W. Bush has done it. Al Gore was
(20:46):
unable to do it. So you know, it's one of
those difficult tasks. It's a fine line that you have
to walk, and you know that's what Kamala Harris is
trying to do.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Right now. We're visiting with White House correspondent John Decker.
When this is all said and done, whoever wins to
follow for four years trying to figure out who's going
to win. Odds or dead even for betting the polls
are dead, even although I went through earlier this morning,
because you're a nerd about this too, like I am.
And that two seventy map and the more I play
(21:15):
with it, the more I come to North Carolina is
the key, and right now Donald Trump's leading North Carolina
is less than one half of one percentage. So this
is crazy, crazy close.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
Yeah, it is crazy close. And you know, I don't
see anything to change that. You know, between now and
November the fifth. Now, there's a debate that's on the schedule,
but most people don't make their decision on president based
upon a vice presidential debate. But having said that, I'll
be at that debate Michael Tuesday night, New York City,
and it's going to be an interesting moment in the
(21:47):
campaign for jd. Vance and Tim Walls being in the spotlight.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
You know, I'm looking at like the Georgia Alabama game.
To use a sports analogy, I expect Georgia to beat Alabama,
but it's a one point spread. It could go either way,
and it's probably like some of the intangibles that will
make the difference. Or wherever we have a really close
super Bowl, it's never the Superstars. It ends up. It
ends up a guy blocking a punt or a guy
returning a kickoff. And I'm looking at a story. It's
(22:15):
a new poll that shows voters moving to the right
on tax cuts, and you'll wonder, is it gonna maybe
not be Pennsylvania and be more of a North Carolina
or Wisconsin story. You wonder if, at the end of
the day, as much as all things are equal everywhere else,
one was pushing tax increases, one was pushing restoring and
(22:36):
or making greater sustaining I should say, the tax cuts
and renewing them and making even greater cuts. And it
could be something like that. I mean, it's just impossible
to prognosticate.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Yeah, it is, and that's why, as you point out,
it's the betting odds are just break down the middle,
you know, And that's the reason why it's such an
interesting race. Not only are the betting number essentially right
down the middle, but you also have energy on both sides,
which is rare in presidential elections. There's excitement and energy
(23:08):
for Democrats, there's excitement energy for Republicans, and now it's
just a matter of who can get out their supporters
in greater numbers.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Do we have sixty seconds? I want to do one
thing real quick. I don't know if we have time doing. Okay,
So you had me laughing all day yesterday whenever there
was a lie, well, I would just start giggling because
we were talking about Zelensky and I was like, well,
you know, Donald Trump said that if he was president,
the war would have never happened. That doesn't mean he
wouldn't he doesn't support Ukraine. He said that if he
(23:38):
gets re elected, he'll solve this before he even takes
the oath of office. He didn't say he's going to
turn his back on them. I said, you could maybe
attach that curiosity to Vance, but you really can't to Trump.
And he really hasn't been very specific, quite frankly, about
what he would do. And then you just won. Well,
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I just I just started correct.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah, that's kind of where it is. But you know,
the funny part about the whole Zelensky thing Yesterday, I
thought Kamala was shameless and inappropriate, and the way she
turned her news conference with him into a campaign event,
I thought that was really inappropriate in an ongoing war.
But you know, he made his rounds to Biden, he
made his rounds to Kamala today he makes him with Trump.
Make no mistake about it. This is a sales call
(24:20):
for Zelenski.
Speaker 8 (24:22):
Oh yeah, it's really important. And don't you understand. I mean,
after all, he wants to meet with the current President
for the future President meeting with both Harris and Trump.
Trump's visit coming as you point out today in New
York City at Trump Tower.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
All right, it's a busy news day. Of course, Helene
is the main focus of John. You have a great weekend,
and we'll talk again on Monday, Michael, all right, we'll
get an update on Helen with Jack just coming up
and moment. And now from the numbers, speak for himself.
This was a really big storm, two hundred and twenty
miles wide, a Cat four, very defined a unique trajectory
(24:59):
to they hit the South Bend Panhandle the way it did,
and the largest storm ever to do so. It arrived
as a Cat four with an unsurvivable storm surge of
up to twenty feet. And as the sun has risen
this morning, we're seeing the damage. But Helena is still
busy making damage. Three million without power and flooding issues.
Atlanta getting hammered right now with threats of flooding, but
(25:21):
we're expecting that as far north as Asheville, North Carolina.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is set to be
a ragned today on multiple federal corruption charges, and meanwhile,
his own governor Governor hokel is saying, you know, I
have the power to fire him, and I'm I'm considering
all my options. Now she's turning into the hur hatchet person.
And then two things have fascinated me. One, a majority
(25:42):
of Americans have faith in the accuracy of casting and
counting votes. Okay, that's the headline, but it's only fifty
seven percent. If you're living in a country that depends
on a trusted, free, fair election, you got forty three
percent of Americans floating around and about. I don't mind
adding seventy two percent of Republicans thinking otherwise that's not faith.
(26:07):
That's a really big problem. And the story simply doesn't
match the headline. This is the saddus news I can
give you, and it kind of goes along with our
journey of discovery, which was this generation is passing on
more than thirty six trillion dollars of debt to the
next generation. But our matrix dysfunction and the name of joy, intolerance,
(26:28):
and inclusion, what do you really have hatred, division, intolerance
and exclusion. And so the Anderson Cooper three sixty did
a study with kindergardeners about how they view presidents and politics.
And what did they find? By eight hundred percent, the
children of Democrats are not willing to go to a
(26:50):
Republican child's house. Does that sound like joy? Does that
sound like the robbing of innocence we want for our children.
It's one of the most tragic stories I can tell
you that just as we pass on sins generationally, our
abandonment of God and absolute truth for moral relativism hijacked
(27:12):
by hyper focus on politics. Now all the ridiculous childish
fighting that's been going on inside the Beltway is happening
in our homes, in our neighborhoods, and all over social media. Congratulations,
love thy neighbor as thyself, even love your enemies. That's gone.
And if you think we're the divided States of America today,
(27:36):
what does tomorrow look like? And as we've often warned,
you remove God, you remove man and man's identity. That's
why you have nothing but chaos. And what's the endgame
of it? Hopelessness, which leads to depression and suicide, which
(27:56):
continues to be a christis facing our country. Final story.
Suicide levels remain at about the highest level in history.
CDC Data reports nearly fifty thousand suicide deaths in twenty
twenty three, but when investigations are concluded, the number could
increase greatly. Suicide was the eleventh leading cause of death
(28:19):
in all age groups in twenty twenty one and twenty
twenty two, and more prevalent among those aged ten to
thirty four. Perhaps maybe we also passed along hopelessness to
our children as well. Parents wake up one at a time.
Our kids are watching, they're listening, and now our problems
(28:44):
become their big problem.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I'm executive Chef George Harvell.
Speaker 9 (28:51):
My morning show is your Morning Show with Michael Dojorna.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
All attention is on Hurricane Helene, the strongest storm to
ever hit Florida's Big Ben region. The problem is there's
the damage Helene has caused, which we're getting our first
morning glimpses of, and the damage she's still causing. For both,
we turned to Jack Crumley Jack the Morning.
Speaker 9 (29:11):
Yeah, good morning, A lot of ground to cover, and
you guys are sort of in the thick of things
now between rain and power outages.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Well over three million now power outages, about a million
of them are Floridians. But that'll give you an idea
of what We knew Helena's storm surge would be a
big problem making landfall, but the amount of rain and
power outages and flooding, and how quickly would this trajectory
boom you're in Atlanta, metro boom, you're in Nashville. She's
(29:40):
kind of living out exactly what we were concerned about
before she arrived.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, this storm is living up to
just about every expectation that we've had so far in
terms of you just mentioned Atlanta four to six inches
of rain so far. More is still coming. There is
a flash flood emergency that has been issued for the
city of Atlanta, the first time that's ever been done.
People in that city being told to seek higher ground.
There have been dozens of water rescues already, Atlanta seeing
(30:06):
the highest three day rainfall in more than a century
there and similar flash flowd emergencies being issued for Asheville,
North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Can you believe that as far north as Asheville, North Carolina,
a Category four hurricane that hits the Big Bend region
of Florida the Panhandle is having that kind of effect?
And what are we looking? I mean, are we what
nine hours from landfall?
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (30:32):
Yeah, essentially nine ten hours from landfall. And you know,
when I got up early this morning to start checking
things out, it was still a Category one hurricane over
Georgia south of Atlanta, swung a little further east I
think than people were expecting, and South Carolina has been
seeing a bit more rain than I think some initial
projections had. I was just speaking with a friend of
mine who lives in Greenville, Spartanburg, and they're completely blacked
(30:53):
out and being told, you know, don't go outside until
much later on this afternoon. And we're just now starting
to get an idea of the damage in Florida itself.
I just saw a quote from the police chief of Perry, Florida,
that is right in the area where the storm came
ashore in Taylor County, the police chief and Perry saying
we weren't aggressive enough with evacuations. The Taylor County Sheriff
(31:15):
put out word yesterday saying, if you're not going to evacuate,
do us a favor and get a permanent marker and
write your name and your birth date on your arms
so we can identify you.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
You know, whenever you're in a hurricane area, you worry
about the cry wolf that people make storms bigger than
they're going to be, and that's really dangerous to do
because then there is a dangerous one and they end
up writing out something they shouldn't ride out. But I
mean what we're talking about with Helena, I grew up
New Orleans. I mean, we had the plywood boards that
were custom fit for all our windows. They were stored
(31:45):
in the attic and you brought them and put them
on the windows. We knew, we had the city pumps,
we knew all this. But you're talking about metro areas
that aren't used to category ones arriving in their city
and handling that kind of flooding. That's the part that
scared me the about Helena that's playing out right now.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (32:02):
I mean the city of Atlanta, the people being told
in that city, an incredibly densely populated city to seek
higher ground. That's a wild thing to be told before
the sleeven comes up.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Yeah, especially when usually they're always trapped down the highway. Hey,
you know what highlight of the week was meeting you Jack.
Great work and following Helena. I know you'll continue it
throughout the day.
Speaker 9 (32:23):
Hey, thanks very much.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Guys, take care you got it fifty four minutes after
the hour. One last talk back that reminds me of
the Donald Trump earlier when he said greatest dead air
in history, somedth we can do. Why am I not
hearing it? I think we had a slight bump problem.
But here we go.
Speaker 10 (32:42):
Good morning, Michael. I think you should tell your hurricane
story about the time you worked with Pat Robbinson at CUDN. Anyway,
have a great day, stay safe, all right, make a lot.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
That's obviously a Nashville listener who's known me for sixteen
seventeen years listening a strange thing about me. I going
to be a pastor. I ended up not being a pastor,
ended up being radio, and then radio led me to
being vice president of for Pat Robertson of CBN. I
was over the CBN News Networks, CBN Music Networks. I
was over all the state run Networks, which was the
(33:14):
Florida Radio network in Florida. I was over everything but
the seven hundred Club and the Family Channel. But what
was odd was it put me in boardrooms with people
that were over ministries and so we're in you know,
there's a hurricane coming, and you know most people. I mean,
Pat was great. He was just like he isn't a
TV so if he didn't like him on TV, you
(33:34):
wouldn't like him in real life. But I would say
he's probably funnier. And I used to you know, I
was twenty six years old, so you know, I like,
I was fascinated with how big his head was. And
one time I tried to measure and he was like
it crazy, Get away from me. We'd be cracking up.
So anyway, we're in this board meeting and the hurricanes
coming and at that time they didn't know I mean,
at that point the Bulls, I really was Virginia Beach,
(33:57):
Norfolk and you know, so I'm around all these ministry
people and I'm a radio guy, and they're gonna pray
about the storm. And so Pat starts praying it's just
like the seven hundred Club his eyes, Quinton, Lord, I'm
asking you to direct those winds and turn this storm
to North Carolina. Wow. And so I'm like the only
one who would be dumb enough to do this. I
(34:18):
went right in the middle of the prayer. I'm like, Pat,
we can't do that. If I still in prayer, mot
prayerfect what what what well. I mean, that's not fair.
So we're gonna we're gonna pray the storm away from
us to harm other people. That doesn't seem like a
good prayer.
Speaker 11 (34:34):
Listen, If they're not smart enough to be praying, that's
their problem.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
You know. Next thing, you know, the storm did hit
North Carolina. What was that that hurricane was? I forgot
the name of it wasn't Andrew. Andrew hit Florida.
Speaker 11 (34:47):
I think I can't remember what one it was, but
sure enough it pounded North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
But I.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Interrupted Pat the middle of praise at the FRA room.
Speaker 11 (34:58):
You can't if they're not smart enough to be pray. So,
you know, today, I just want to end on that note.
It's a news story, but there are some real tragic
human stories playing out right now as we speak on
the air. The view from the ground where it hits
is far different than the view on your television.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Keep a lot of people in a lot of states
in your thoughts and prayers today as we're getting our
first glimpses of the damage Alina has caused and continues
to cause.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
