Speaker 3 (00:27):
Well two three starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're
in this to give. This is your Morning Show with
Michael Dell Trumpy.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Hurricane Helene now responsible for at least one hundred and
twenty deaths, at least six hundred people still unaccounted for.
We have about two million people still without power throughout
the southeast. And to add to that now from Maine
to Texas, a port workers strike or finally ready to
get it down tonight, Kadi Vance dim Walls the veeps
(01:05):
will square off in debate tonight and major League Baseball
sit King Pete Rose passed away at the age of
eighty three. Major League Baseball had so many opportunities in
so many years to get this right. Now they find
themselves in bed with sports gambling. You can't watch a
single baseball game without at least two betting commercials every
(01:26):
commercial break between ennings, and they still ban Pete Rose.
And I often said, you better get him in before
he dies or it's too late. Well now it's too late.
He passes away in Las Vegas at the age of
eighty three. And Jimmy Carter will be one hundred today
celebrating is one hundredth birthday. And we had a double
(01:47):
header last night, Titans and the Lions both winners. And
Major League Baseball walcard playoffs begin without the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Braves and the Mets split that devilheader, so they're
both in all right. If you're just waking up, it
is seven minutes after the hour. This is your morning
show on the air, streaming live on your iHeart app.
We love to hear from you. Can't have your morning
show without your voice. This may be the email of
(02:09):
the day, and it comes to us from Angela who writes,
imagine if our founding fathers were at the debate tonight,
or better yet, imagine if our founding fathers were the
moderators of the debate. Wouldn't that be something?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yes? It would?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And how important is this vice presidential debate? Is there
unfinished business from the presidential debate? I didn't particularly think
Donald Trump had a very good night. I don't know
that Kamala Harris had a good night. She's had just
not as bad of a night as Donald Trump. But
is their unfinished business? I kind of come to this
(02:47):
conclusion at this point. This debate will make those supporting
Donald Trump probably feel a lot better about it, and
for those that are supporting Kamala Harris maybe feel a
little better or a little less better.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's funny.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I may be just getting it completely wrong, but the
mainstream media wants the narrative to be, Oh, it's JD.
Vanshu's in trouble, He's the unlikable one. Really did you
watch Saturday Night Lives portrayal with Jim Gaffigan of Tim Walls?
And if there's anybody that is I mean, I know
(03:24):
that the left hates Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
They're obsessed with him.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
He's the boogeyman, he's the monster, he's the insurrectionist, he's
the rapist, he's the felon. But outside of that core group, remember,
the majority like the policies of Trump, don't like the
current conditions and would prefer neither. So what do these
two really have to achieve tonight? And what's at stake?
(03:49):
Do you really think anybody's out there watching going, oh,
my goodness, I'm undecided, which is very few. And this
made my decision not likely, probably more likely to make
you feel better about the way you're already leaning.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
That's about it. And where are you leaning? Glad you asked?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
We got fresh polling information from yesterday for Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
North Carolina, and Georgia.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, that's good information. You might be.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Shocked at how things are rolling in Georgia. Donald Trump
now leads by one point four after visiting Georgia yesterday.
That may even rise more North Carolina. As I said,
for Donald Trump, North Carolina is the key hanging on
to North Carolina and Georgia and Nevada and Arizona on
the West coast is his main path well. In Georgia
(04:40):
he leads by one point four percent forty nine point
two to forty seven point eight. And North Carolina he
leads by zero point six forty eight and a half
to forty seven point nine. That secures the North Carolina
and Georgia. The how's he looking out west? Some bad
news in Nevada were here. R is now leading by
(05:01):
one point three percent forty eight point six to forty
seven point three. But Donald Trump has opened up a
two point lead in Arizona. Here's more troubling news for
Kamala Harris and Wisconsin. Her lead is down to zero
point eight, and Michigan her lead is just one point four.
What do we always say about Donald Trump because of
his underpolling. If he's down by one, he's probably leading
(05:24):
by one or two. Here's the worst news in Pennsylvania.
Donald Trump now leads by zero point two percent, forty
eight point one to forty seven point nine. Let's go
to the two seventy to win map. If I give
Kamala Nevada, if I keep Wisconsin and Michigan in her
(05:46):
in her in her blue, I give Trump, North Carolina
and Georgia. The polls I just read to you if
they were accurate, and the election were held today, giving
her Nevada and Trump Pennsylvania. Trump wins two ninety four
to two forty four, and there's a lot of people
who don't think she'll hang on to Nevada. Then it's
(06:07):
three hundred to two thirty eight. And let's say if
Michigan or Wisconsin were to fall, most likely Wisconsin, it's
a landslide three ten to two twenty eight. I don't
think there's anything Tim Walls can do to stop that tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Who's weird now? By the way, what's that? Who's weird now? Yeah?
Who's weird now? I'd love for that to come up.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I think Tim Walls is going to bring up comments
that jd Vance once made about Donald Trump, But I
think you might want to be careful there. They've had
a lot of time to prepare for that and serve
up an answer that in genuine fashion a lot of
(06:48):
Americans who are sitting undecided in swing states might relate to. Yeah,
I don't like Donald Trump, but I don't like inflation more,
and I don't like open borders more, and I don't
like crime and awlessness more, and I don't like wars
breaking out all over the world more, it'll be interesting
see how that plays out. Now, that's the polls again
(07:11):
with an asterisk, because Donald Trump underpolls because the right
doesn't trust the media, newspapers, networks, and that's who does
the polls, universities and the other reason because they manipulate polls,
not so much to figure out where you're at now,
but to get you where they want you on election day.
But if the polls were to suggest the directive, at best,
(07:37):
today Kamala Harris loses two hundred and ninety four to
two forty four at best, where's the money? Where's the gambling?
Let's go to our your morning show sportsbook where our
bookie's got where the latest dods are. And I expect
them to shift in the coming days. But how do
we start the day? Michael, You hit it right on
(07:57):
the head. Betting lines of basically unchanged.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
They're still laying off money on Donald Trump when he
was a huge favorite of minus one fifty six. By
the way, I gave you BJT at fourteen in a quarter.
Oh yeahs going through the roof, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I love I love him of sixteen dollars. You know
what I want to see if you can arrange Jeffrey Okay,
I want to go to his house. I want to
cuddle in his arms and have him read me Doctor
Seuss until I fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
That's not eat green eggsit have.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
By the way, anything happens to Michael Savage, he'll be
filling out of the savageation, all right. So that's how
the money line looks, That's how the electoral college map looks.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
As we get ready for.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
The vice presidential debate, to know, well, this was an
interesting in our Sound of the day, the White House
being pressed on ice data about criminal non citizens and
the thousands of deaths related to their crimes. Here's how
(09:10):
they played dodgeball in the White House press.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Room has been debunked on what has been falsely misrepresented.
We're misrepresented here, so we have to call that out.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And so look, this is what the misrepresentation is.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
The numbers that is being put out about how many
people are out. It has been falsely represented here. If
you look at the total returns and removal of the
past year, that has been higher than every year under
the previous administration since since twenty ten.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You're probably asking yourself, so what is the number.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Fifty thousand, twenty five thousand, two hundred thousand a million,
What is it?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
No answer, just to dodge, And that's how the White
House plays. This is Your Morning Show with Michael Del
Truana Saur.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
The day continues with Kamala Harris sitting down with two
former NBA players who for the fiftieth time ask the
same question, and you tell me, for the fiftieth time
they got an answer.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Yet from a show to a whole entire company, what
is your kind of your economic plan moving forward for
people who are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling for
groceries and rent and homeowners.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
So look, I grew up, so my sister and I
were raised by our mother.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Oh my gosh, you're raised by your mother. Middle class.
You're right at a house above a nursery, but you
watch that nursery operate, and that's what made you appreciate
small businesses.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I mean, I almost can do it.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
Here the rest other we live for a long time
on an apartment on top of a childcare center. That
childcare center was actually owned by a woman who lived
two doors down from us, and missus Shelton, who was
by all of our accounts and feelings. Our second mother
she helped raise us, and so she was a small
(11:19):
business owner. So I'll start with the small business and congratulations,
on which I, from a child, knew who our small
business owners are.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Right.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
I mean, you're business leaders, but you're also civic leaders.
You take seriously your voice and how you can mentor
how you can.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Jeffery on second thought, I don't need your morning show
book Hey to read me doctor SEUs to fall asleep O.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Grow right communities and the sense of communities. I love
our small businesses and so a lot of my work
in terms of building and growing the economy has focused
on small businesses. And my vision overall is we need
to build an opportunity economy in which we increase opportunity
for all, including small business owners. So a lot of
(12:01):
my work, even in the Senate, was about increasing access
to capital through our small businesses and in particular through
our community banks.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I watched Megan Kelly on her podcast just flat out
loise it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I have sworn I'm not going to fall to those depths,
but I understand why people would use harsher words than
clueless on the economy and the economy is the number
one issue facing our country, especially with port workers going
on strike as of midnight this morning. These are serious
(12:38):
times that require serious leadership and serious understanding. And that
woman has been asked that question how many times and
can't give an answer. This is what has the mainstream
media is so frustrated. And I don't think MSNBC turned
on her as much as they were screaming out whoever's
(12:59):
hands this campaign. Somebody get this woman in a room
and explain economics. One oh one, doer or we're gonna lose,
and you're losing. Your morning show has heard on great
radio stations across the country. We don't focus on that
a lot because all that really matters is you and
I are alone, and we're together right now, and this
is the intimacy of radio. And we got our hands
(13:20):
full getting up this morning, being informed, understanding, connecting dots
and journeys of discovery. But we're thrilled to be on
in great cities like Sacramento, Memphis, Seattle, Tampa, Oklahoma City,
Tulsa's Saint Louis, Cleveland, Akron, Anchorage, Phoenix, Washington, DC, Dallas, Texas, Nashville, Tennessee.
I could go on and on, but we do want
(13:42):
to welcome a new one, the all new Knew nine
sixty AM Iheartsports Talking More in San Francisco, California, home
of the Golden gate Bridge, Alcatraz, the trans Am Pyramid,
Fisherman's Wharf.

Speaker 1 (14:12):

My Hearty Sports Talk More. Appreciate you listening this morning
to your morning show.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Hi, It's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard

k E n I Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio eleven ninety
Dallas Fort Worth, and Freedom one oh four seven in Washington,
d C. We'd love to have you listen live every day.
Make us a part of your morning routine, but better
late than never. Enjoy the podcast. Good morning, and welcome
(14:44):
to your morning show on the air and streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I'm Michael.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Jeffrey Lyons has controls and if you're just waking up,
FEMA working to deliver food and water to those in
need in North Carolina and East Tennessee struggling after Hurricane Helene,
now credited with over one hundred and two debts, still
six hundred people unaccounted for, more than two millions still
without power in the southeast. And to add to this,
(15:08):
we now have from Maine to Texas support workers strike
as of midnight. How this will impact not just goods
and services, but the economy as a whole. With just
five weeks until the election, time will tell. Jd Vance
and Tim Walls will score off tonight in the vice
presidential debate. Pete Rose's dad at the age of eighty three,
(15:28):
And I'm more mad at Major League Baseball than ever
and for President Jimmy Carter, number thirty nine, one hundred
years old. Gracious today, and we had a double header
last night in the Titans and the Lions, both winners
on Monday night.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Football and Major.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
League Baseball wild card playoffs begin today. I'm fortunately not
for the Arizona Diamondbacks. So for our listeners listening in
in Phoenix, you needed either the Braves or the Mets
to win both games. They split the doubleheaders, so they're
both in and you are out. Playoffs begin today. All right,
(16:04):
Let's get back to this strike from Maine all the
way to Texas, so that's a good portion of ports
entering the country. As of midnight, the port workers walked.
The strike is on and there are no talks being planned.
(16:26):
What does this do to supply chain? What does this
already do to an inflation riddled economy? Aaron Realities here
with the very latest.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Good morning, Aaron, Yes, nothing good.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Analysts say it's going to cost it anywhere from eight hundred
million a day to five billion a day, depending on
the day. The strike. Disputes between the International Longshoreman's Association
that's the union representing the dock workers and the US
Maritime Alliance get used to hearing you as mx' that's
their abbreviation for the Maritime Alliance. Really, the disputes include
(16:57):
pay and terminal automation projects. That's a big one. Like listen,
pay is pay always an issue, but the terminal automation
is a sticking point that Harold Daggett, the head of
the union, fiery leader actually of the long Shortman's union,
has said that he is not okay with the almost
fifty percent wage increases that was offered from the prior
(17:18):
proposal and again, the automation, that's a big one. So
as of midnight this past midnight, they were on strike
all up and down the East Coast, from New York
to Virginia, to Savannah to Miami, then into the Gulf, Houston,
mobile New Orleans all on strike today.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
All right, So we got a fragile economy. There's no
question inflation, cost a living being the center portion of that.
And now here comes Is this the October surprise, five
weeks before an election.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
I love that you say that. That's what I was
thinking this morning. I was like, is this this could
be it? Because this could be huge. We just lived
through supply chain issues. Number One, it's wildly expensive. Number
two like, okay, so the number one company in terms
of imports is Walmart. Not surprisingly it's followed by Costco.
But then there's so many companies that are affected by this.
And then if you go to this store and you
(18:09):
can't get your bananas, you're just like that was weird,
not cool. But then you go another week and you
can't get your sneakers, and then Christmas is coming, you
can't get any of this stuff. This is a global economy.
Our ports are huge, and this is a big part
of it. And there is federal powers that are given
to the president. He can enact something called the taft
Harley Acts.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Says he's not going to. He doesn't believe it exactly.
By the way, I did a thing in my opening monologue.
And again this is just opinion, but I don't think
when Donald Trump turned to Kamala Harris in the debate
and said, oh, by the way, he can't stand you,
I have no way of knowing. You have no way
of knowing if Joe Biden can't stand Kamala Harris, I
can tell you he didn't like being played. Joe Biden
(18:50):
felt like he was born to be president and should
have been president a long time ago. It was his
life aspiration and the way he began became president finally
fourth in Iowa, eavnth and New Hampshire was they had
to cut a deal in South Carolina to use them
like a trojan horse and weaponize COVID and change election
laws and hide them in a basement. And then they
expected him to shuffle along, and he refused, and then
(19:11):
they finally threw him in a trunk and gave all
his delegates to Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
He could end this today, and if he doesn't, I'm
going to begin to wonder if he can't stand Kamala Harris,
because this would obviously she is viewed as the incumbent,
would not shine a good light on her. And because
that would turn everybody's attention to the economy, which is
owned by Donald Trump, it would probably be the deciding
devastating factor. I just went over an electoral college map
(19:37):
that I my forecast would be Donald Trump by over
three hundred. That may go much higher if this looms.
Let's talk about how it looms though. If it's days
and by the way, when I say if it's days
and you know this erin from COVID, there'll be a
run starting today. People are going to run and try
(19:57):
to start getting all the right So that's going to
create an immediate shortage even before it kicks in. Let alone,
these ships are sitting out there at sea, and if
this goes on for days towards weeks, they're going to
turn around and go home. Now you've got months long disruption.
If this takes months to solve, now you've got COVID
(20:17):
disruption and a lasting impact. Probably for years like COVID,
this could really be a nightmare.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Listen, people will lose their jobs.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
This will be bad.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
If threaten's jobs, it threatens billions of dollars a day.
If strokes inflation, this could be very much. That's why
I'm like, this is this not the October surprise? It
very well could be. But at the same time, I listen,
Biden won't enact Haft Harley, but it's designed for this
eighty day cooling off period in cases of national health
and safety. It's going to have to at some point,
(20:50):
like if it gets that gnarly, it's not really that
needs to happen, and they were at the negotiating table
last night. They want this result. But much like other industries,
whether it be the automobile industry in Detroit or the
Hollywood Actors' Union out in LA tech is coming, Automation
(21:11):
is coming. It's like you can fight it, and you
don't want people to lose their jobs. I certainly don't.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's terrible.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
Like we've lived through enough I remember O wait too well,
So no, you don't want that. But at the same time,
you have to evolve if we want to compete on
a global, global platform and China is evolving.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Well, I don't need to take side. You need a
root that somehow it ends or it's going to affect
all of us. But yeah, automation, I mean it's clearly
not the money. They came with the money, but they
want to protect all their jobs. So yeah, those that
remain getting more money doesn't seem to be enough for
the long shortman. So you can't you know, once the
tech genies out of the bottle, I mean, you know,
(21:51):
you and I could get replaced by AI. Was I
saw an ad today for an AI or you can
go talk about like people that make their living doing voiceovers.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
You can go when you can pick.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Your accent, your dialect, you know, and it does You're right,
I mean even today already you could do a newscast
and I could cast the newspeople and they would just
deliver whatever was written, which is probably all that's really
happening through animatronic people on networks anyway.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
You just can't fight it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
So the question is do you just not use it
and you know, start having fights and ease it and
even yeah, but I guess it becomes a slower evolution
because you have to in order to keep peace.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
But it's coming no matter what I mean.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
And I've always said this, like you have to evolve
or you die. And I know that people don't want
to hear that because it's scary, and I don't even
want to hear it, Like no one wants to hear that.
But anyone who thinks like AI isn't going to come
for them or their union is going to say them.
All I can say is like, you know, bless your heart,
you have to learn, like we have to work together
with this. And there might be massive opportunities. That's the
(22:55):
thing when you fight, when you fight the time time
that one of us know how much we have.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
But in all honesty, it's massive opportunities for very few.
There's only so many people can take advantage of these
waves and then you own them at the end of
the day. Who are the big winners from all these
waves of change?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Google?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Apple, you know, Amazon, you know, but there's not a lot.
But then they can provide jobs for many and they're
just different jobs. I get everything you're saying. I just
you know, I'm ready to have bananas.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Yeah, and listen, those are perishables. Those we probably aren't
getting whatever sitting on those carts right now.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
All right, So obviously I think the way to look
at this is days is one thing. Weeks gets very problematic.
Months becomes devastating. Isn't that probably the simple way to
look at it. How long how long the ships just
hang out in the sea before they you know, head home,
Probably not much more than a week or two?
Speaker 9 (23:58):
They can't, I mean they well, it depends on the
products inside, and they're already. So Friday was kind of incredible.
They tried to move as much quantity as humanly possible
on Friday. It brought in a lot over the weekend.
So like we're probably okay today, but come this Friday,
that will change, and where we go from there will
(24:18):
change even more so. Perishables are the verse to go,
followed by pretty much everything else. But this is happening,
this is here. How we contend with it and how
we catch a place that isn't completely devastating.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
As the next question, yesterday, and I don't want to
be too hard, but you know, you knew a hurricane
was coming, and there was plenty of time for Kamala
Harris to return from the West Coast to Washington. There
was certainly plenty of time for the president to get
from Delaware to Washington, d C. To be in the
Oval office when Americans began to die and suffer, chose
(24:51):
to do it by the phone from Delaware. Okay, that's
an optic. That doesn't look good. This is a whole
different story. He has the power to create a cooling
off period. He's not doing it. And I'll let those
that want to make a political prognostication come to what
they made. But this would be devastating for his vice
(25:12):
president's chances of winning the election.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Indeed, and also, you know it might he might be
saving this. So this is like we're hours into this,
what not even twelve hours, yet he might be saving
this card for the end of the week, you know,
saying you don't want to use it as one thing,
but if at some point you have to. So I
think that a lot of this too, is like they
were pretty close, like they're getting closer. Maybe give him
(25:34):
a chance to see if they can figure it out.
But the minute this starts affecting, you know, supply chains
and stuff like that, you have about like forty eight
hour grace period. Let's see what happens. I imagine if
it goes on much longer, it will be enacted. It
doesn't matter if he likes it or not. His Commerce
Secretary and the other powers that be will make him.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Workers supports from Maine to Texas. They're officially on strike.
Aaron Reyelle, thanks so much. We'll we'll talk to you demark.
Great reporting.

Oh, the latest is right now. We have a death
toll of the fifty six in western North Carolina after
the thirty two across the southeast. As you mentioned, Augusta
is in pretty bad shape in eastern Georgia, but also
other cities in Georgia are as well. But the big focus,
and probably rightly so, is western North Carolina that is
(27:10):
the most devastated from this gigantic storm. There they have
over one thousand people still unaccounted for and several hundred
thousand without power in that location, and they've added more
National Guard troops and they've shipped in mostly by air
(27:31):
two hundred thousand pounds of water, food, and commodities for people.
And the twenty two hospitals that are in the area
of western North Carolina are back on. The power grid
has been enough repareddun which is the massive group of
electrical workers that have been able to get much of
(27:52):
that grid repaired. So twenty two hospitals are back online
with and the National Guard brought them food and water,
more medical supplies of to date, just all kinds of
equipment came in with FEMA and the National Guard, you know,
and so that is an improvement for sure.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah, Scott, we talked yesterday about comparing with Katrina, because
it's often forgot looking back, most of the suffering and
the loss of life was days after Katrina and failure
to do all the things you're describing. You get a
sense that from the from FEMA and the federal government
(28:33):
to even governors and local officials, they've learned some lessons.
Nothing you can do about how this happened, but that
that part I think they've learned from and they seem
to have the support they need. Another big priority yesterday
was restoring communications for these efforts and for people to
be able to communicate their needs in emergency situations or
(28:56):
to find loved ones. What ground did we make yesterday
on the communications.
Speaker 10 (28:59):
For well, Earlier we had at least two carriers that
were in the area with mobile towers, and now there
are at least four carriers there that have come in
with mobile towers and with satellite trucks to help improve
communications there and also and that will help get help
(29:22):
to people that need it in these very remote areas.
In a lot of cases, we're talking dirt roads and
communities that are up you know, dirt and gravel roads
that just don't even exist anymore, and these people have
been cut off. Where these people will be able to
get aid hopefully when they can get the word out
or word can get to them through their cell phone alerts. Unfortunately,
(29:46):
that also means that the death toll is likely to
go up from people that have now been you know,
cut off since Friday. But from what I was saying,
communication is improving quite a bit of there because of
these these global towers that have come in, so it
allows the EMS workers to reach the people, but also
(30:07):
the medical authorities to send out alerts to tell people
where to go should they need assistance, and also to
just let people know where they are.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
By the way, also in this area is the Eastern
banned Cherokee Nation. Uh. They in a very remote area
up on high hilltops. How has been communication and efforts
to get supplies to them? I know that they FEMA
also has them on their radar and on their list.
Has that gotten to them yet?
Speaker 10 (30:40):
They are in They are they are part of the
recovery effort process. Not a lot of information has come
out of Cherokee. I from what I've seen from the
county numbers, the damage is less in the Cherokee area
than it is to the south and in the Ashville.
(31:00):
So not saying that there is not a need, that
there seems to be less of a severity need in
the Cherokee Nation than there has been in the outlying areas.
Such does Mitchell County in bunkhom County, especially Bumpcom that
county was just had tremendously hard and they have over
(31:21):
forty deaths in that county alone.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Got Kimbler, great reporting. We'll talk again next hour, all right,
if you're just waking up. The very latest that death
toll has now risen to one hundred and thirty two,
still between six hundred and one thousand unaccounted for four
hund thousand people in North Carolina still without power North
Carolina alone, let alone two million throughout the southeast as FIMA,
the National Guard and military have been called in to
(31:45):
assist with water and supplies. The restoration he had mentioned,
I know of three carriers, Verizon AT and T and
T Mobile. I don't know who the fourth is that
have set up mobile stations to restore communications in this area.
Still got a tragedy unfolding, UH in North Carolina and
in Eastern Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
with Michael Mill journo
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
You can listen to your morning show live on the
air or streaming live on your iHeart app Monday through
Friday from three to six Pacific, five to eighth Central,
and six to nine Eastern on great radio stations like
Talk six fifty KSTE and Sacramento or one oh four

oh five nine and twelve fifty w h d Z
in Tampa, Florida. Sure hope you can join us live
(00:23):
and make us a part of your morning routine. In
the meantime, enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Well two three starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding, because we're
in this to give. This is your Morning Show with
Michael Dell Trumpy.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Hurricane Helene now responsible for at least one hundred and
twenty deaths, at least six hundred people still unaccounted for.
We have about two million people still without power throughout
the southeast. And to add to that now from Maine
to Texas, a port workers strike or finally ready to
get it down tonight, Kadi Vance dim Walls the veeps
(01:05):
will square off in debate tonight and major League Baseball
sit King Pete Rose passed away at the age of
eighty three. Major League Baseball had so many opportunities in
so many years to get this right. Now they find
themselves in bed with sports gambling. You can't watch a
single baseball game without at least two betting commercials every
(01:26):
commercial break between ennings, and they still ban Pete Rose.
And I often said, you better get him in before
he dies or it's too late. Well now it's too late.
He passes away in Las Vegas at the age of
eighty three. And Jimmy Carter will be one hundred today
celebrating is one hundredth birthday. And we had a double
(01:47):
header last night, Titans and the Lions both winners. And
Major League Baseball walcard playoffs begin without the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Braves and the Mets split that devilheader, so they're
both in all right. If you're just waking up, it
is seven minutes after the hour. This is your morning
show on the air, streaming live on your iHeart app.
We love to hear from you. Can't have your morning
show without your voice. This may be the email of
(02:09):
the day, and it comes to us from Angela who writes,
imagine if our founding fathers were at the debate tonight,
or better yet, imagine if our founding fathers were the
moderators of the debate. Wouldn't that be something?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yes? It would?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And how important is this vice presidential debate? Is there
unfinished business from the presidential debate? I didn't particularly think
Donald Trump had a very good night. I don't know
that Kamala Harris had a good night. She's had just
not as bad of a night as Donald Trump. But
is their unfinished business? I kind of come to this
(02:47):
conclusion at this point. This debate will make those supporting
Donald Trump probably feel a lot better about it, and
for those that are supporting Kamala Harris maybe feel a
little better or a little less better.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's funny.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I may be just getting it completely wrong, but the
mainstream media wants the narrative to be, Oh, it's JD.
Vanshu's in trouble, He's the unlikable one. Really did you
watch Saturday Night Lives portrayal with Jim Gaffigan of Tim Walls?
And if there's anybody that is I mean, I know
(03:24):
that the left hates Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
They're obsessed with him.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
He's the boogeyman, he's the monster, he's the insurrectionist, he's
the rapist, he's the felon. But outside of that core group, remember,
the majority like the policies of Trump, don't like the
current conditions and would prefer neither. So what do these
two really have to achieve tonight? And what's at stake?
(03:49):
Do you really think anybody's out there watching going, oh,
my goodness, I'm undecided, which is very few. And this
made my decision not likely, probably more likely to make
you feel better about the way you're already leaning.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
That's about it. And where are you leaning? Glad you asked?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
We got fresh polling information from yesterday for Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
North Carolina, and Georgia.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, that's good information. You might be.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Shocked at how things are rolling in Georgia. Donald Trump
now leads by one point four after visiting Georgia yesterday.
That may even rise more North Carolina. As I said,
for Donald Trump, North Carolina is the key hanging on
to North Carolina and Georgia and Nevada and Arizona on
the West coast is his main path well. In Georgia
(04:40):
he leads by one point four percent forty nine point
two to forty seven point eight. And North Carolina he
leads by zero point six forty eight and a half
to forty seven point nine. That secures the North Carolina
and Georgia. The how's he looking out west? Some bad
news in Nevada were here. R is now leading by
(05:01):
one point three percent forty eight point six to forty
seven point three. But Donald Trump has opened up a
two point lead in Arizona. Here's more troubling news for
Kamala Harris and Wisconsin. Her lead is down to zero
point eight, and Michigan her lead is just one point four.
What do we always say about Donald Trump because of
his underpolling. If he's down by one, he's probably leading
(05:24):
by one or two. Here's the worst news in Pennsylvania.
Donald Trump now leads by zero point two percent, forty
eight point one to forty seven point nine. Let's go
to the two seventy to win map. If I give
Kamala Nevada, if I keep Wisconsin and Michigan in her
(05:46):
in her in her blue, I give Trump, North Carolina
and Georgia. The polls I just read to you if
they were accurate, and the election were held today, giving
her Nevada and Trump Pennsylvania. Trump wins two ninety four
to two forty four, and there's a lot of people
who don't think she'll hang on to Nevada. Then it's
(06:07):
three hundred to two thirty eight. And let's say if
Michigan or Wisconsin were to fall, most likely Wisconsin, it's
a landslide three ten to two twenty eight. I don't
think there's anything Tim Walls can do to stop that tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Who's weird now? By the way, what's that? Who's weird now? Yeah?
Who's weird now? I'd love for that to come up.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I think Tim Walls is going to bring up comments
that jd Vance once made about Donald Trump, But I
think you might want to be careful there. They've had
a lot of time to prepare for that and serve
up an answer that in genuine fashion a lot of
(06:48):
Americans who are sitting undecided in swing states might relate to. Yeah,
I don't like Donald Trump, but I don't like inflation more,
and I don't like open borders more, and I don't
like crime and awlessness more, and I don't like wars
breaking out all over the world more, it'll be interesting
see how that plays out. Now, that's the polls again
(07:11):
with an asterisk, because Donald Trump underpolls because the right
doesn't trust the media, newspapers, networks, and that's who does
the polls, universities and the other reason because they manipulate polls,
not so much to figure out where you're at now,
but to get you where they want you on election day.
But if the polls were to suggest the directive, at best,
(07:37):
today Kamala Harris loses two hundred and ninety four to
two forty four at best, where's the money? Where's the gambling?
Let's go to our your morning show sportsbook where our
bookie's got where the latest dods are. And I expect
them to shift in the coming days. But how do
we start the day? Michael, You hit it right on
(07:57):
the head. Betting lines of basically unchanged.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
They're still laying off money on Donald Trump when he
was a huge favorite of minus one fifty six. By
the way, I gave you BJT at fourteen in a quarter.
Oh yeahs going through the roof, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I love I love him of sixteen dollars. You know
what I want to see if you can arrange Jeffrey Okay,
I want to go to his house. I want to
cuddle in his arms and have him read me Doctor
Seuss until I fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
That's not eat green eggsit have.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
By the way, anything happens to Michael Savage, he'll be
filling out of the savageation, all right. So that's how
the money line looks, That's how the electoral college map looks.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
As we get ready for.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
The vice presidential debate, to know, well, this was an
interesting in our Sound of the day, the White House
being pressed on ice data about criminal non citizens and
the thousands of deaths related to their crimes. Here's how
(09:10):
they played dodgeball in the White House press.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Room has been debunked on what has been falsely misrepresented.
We're misrepresented here, so we have to call that out.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
And so look, this is what the misrepresentation is.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
The numbers that is being put out about how many
people are out. It has been falsely represented here. If
you look at the total returns and removal of the
past year, that has been higher than every year under
the previous administration since since twenty ten.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
You're probably asking yourself, so what is the number.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Fifty thousand, twenty five thousand, two hundred thousand a million,
What is it?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
No answer, just to dodge, And that's how the White
House plays. This is Your Morning Show with Michael Del
Truana Saur.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
The day continues with Kamala Harris sitting down with two
former NBA players who for the fiftieth time ask the
same question, and you tell me, for the fiftieth time
they got an answer.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Yet from a show to a whole entire company, what
is your kind of your economic plan moving forward for
people who are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling for
groceries and rent and homeowners.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
So look, I grew up, so my sister and I
were raised by our mother.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Oh my gosh, you're raised by your mother. Middle class.
You're right at a house above a nursery, but you
watch that nursery operate, and that's what made you appreciate
small businesses.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
I mean, I almost can do it.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
Here the rest other we live for a long time
on an apartment on top of a childcare center. That
childcare center was actually owned by a woman who lived
two doors down from us, and missus Shelton, who was
by all of our accounts and feelings. Our second mother
she helped raise us, and so she was a small
(11:19):
business owner. So I'll start with the small business and congratulations,
on which I, from a child, knew who our small
business owners are.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Right.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
I mean, you're business leaders, but you're also civic leaders.
You take seriously your voice and how you can mentor
how you can.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Jeffery on second thought, I don't need your morning show
book Hey to read me doctor SEUs to fall asleep O.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
Grow right communities and the sense of communities. I love
our small businesses and so a lot of my work
in terms of building and growing the economy has focused
on small businesses. And my vision overall is we need
to build an opportunity economy in which we increase opportunity
for all, including small business owners. So a lot of
(12:01):
my work, even in the Senate, was about increasing access
to capital through our small businesses and in particular through
our community banks.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I watched Megan Kelly on her podcast just flat out
loise it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I have sworn I'm not going to fall to those depths,
but I understand why people would use harsher words than
clueless on the economy and the economy is the number
one issue facing our country, especially with port workers going
on strike as of midnight this morning. These are serious
(12:38):
times that require serious leadership and serious understanding. And that
woman has been asked that question how many times and
can't give an answer. This is what has the mainstream
media is so frustrated. And I don't think MSNBC turned
on her as much as they were screaming out whoever's
(12:59):
hands this campaign. Somebody get this woman in a room
and explain economics. One oh one, doer or we're gonna lose,
and you're losing. Your morning show has heard on great
radio stations across the country. We don't focus on that
a lot because all that really matters is you and
I are alone, and we're together right now, and this
is the intimacy of radio. And we got our hands
(13:20):
full getting up this morning, being informed, understanding, connecting dots
and journeys of discovery. But we're thrilled to be on
in great cities like Sacramento, Memphis, Seattle, Tampa, Oklahoma City,
Tulsa's Saint Louis, Cleveland, Akron, Anchorage, Phoenix, Washington, DC, Dallas, Texas, Nashville, Tennessee.
I could go on and on, but we do want
(13:42):
to welcome a new one, the all new Knew nine
sixty AM Iheartsports Talking More in San Francisco, California, home
of the Golden gate Bridge, Alcatraz, the trans Am Pyramid,
Fisherman's Wharf.

Good Golden Shot not for a couple hours.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Welcome morning, Kay and he's Sevel. You're nine sixty AM,
My Hearty Sports Talk More. Appreciate you listening this morning
to your morning show.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Hi, It's me Michael. Your morning show can be heard

Make us a part of your morning routine, but better
late than never. Enjoy the podcast. Good morning, and welcome
(14:44):
to your morning show on the air and streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I'm Michael.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Jeffrey Lyons has controls and if you're just waking up,
FEMA working to deliver food and water to those in
need in North Carolina and East Tennessee struggling after Hurricane Helene,
now credited with over one hundred and two debts, still
six hundred people unaccounted for, more than two millions still
without power in the southeast. And to add to this,
(15:08):
we now have from Maine to Texas support workers strike
as of midnight. How this will impact not just goods
and services, but the economy as a whole. With just
five weeks until the election, time will tell. Jd Vance
and Tim Walls will score off tonight in the vice
presidential debate. Pete Rose's dad at the age of eighty three,
(15:28):
And I'm more mad at Major League Baseball than ever
and for President Jimmy Carter, number thirty nine, one hundred
years old. Gracious today, and we had a double header
last night in the Titans and the Lions, both winners
on Monday night.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Football and Major.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
League Baseball wild card playoffs begin today. I'm fortunately not
for the Arizona Diamondbacks. So for our listeners listening in
in Phoenix, you needed either the Braves or the Mets
to win both games. They split the doubleheaders, so they're
both in and you are out. Playoffs begin today. All right,
(16:04):
Let's get back to this strike from Maine all the
way to Texas, so that's a good portion of ports
entering the country. As of midnight, the port workers walked.
The strike is on and there are no talks being planned.
(16:26):
What does this do to supply chain? What does this
already do to an inflation riddled economy? Aaron Realities here
with the very latest.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Good morning, Aaron, Yes, nothing good.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Listen.
Speaker 9 (16:35):
Analysts say it's going to cost it anywhere from eight hundred
million a day to five billion a day, depending on
the day. The strike. Disputes between the International Longshoreman's Association
that's the union representing the dock workers and the US
Maritime Alliance get used to hearing you as mx' that's
their abbreviation for the Maritime Alliance. Really, the disputes include
(16:57):
pay and terminal automation projects. That's a big one. Like listen,
pay is pay always an issue, but the terminal automation
is a sticking point that Harold Daggett, the head of
the union, fiery leader actually of the long Shortman's union,
has said that he is not okay with the almost
fifty percent wage increases that was offered from the prior
(17:18):
proposal and again, the automation, that's a big one. So
as of midnight this past midnight, they were on strike
all up and down the East Coast, from New York
to Virginia, to Savannah to Miami, then into the Gulf, Houston,
mobile New Orleans all on strike today.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
All right, So we got a fragile economy. There's no
question inflation, cost a living being the center portion of that.
And now here comes Is this the October surprise, five
weeks before an election.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
I love that you say that. That's what I was
thinking this morning. I was like, is this this could
be it? Because this could be huge. We just lived
through supply chain issues. Number One, it's wildly expensive. Number
two like, okay, so the number one company in terms
of imports is Walmart. Not surprisingly it's followed by Costco.
But then there's so many companies that are affected by this.
And then if you go to this store and you
(18:09):
can't get your bananas, you're just like that was weird,
not cool. But then you go another week and you
can't get your sneakers, and then Christmas is coming, you
can't get any of this stuff. This is a global economy.
Our ports are huge, and this is a big part
of it. And there is federal powers that are given
to the president. He can enact something called the taft
Harley Acts.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Says he's not going to. He doesn't believe it exactly.
By the way, I did a thing in my opening monologue.
And again this is just opinion, but I don't think
when Donald Trump turned to Kamala Harris in the debate
and said, oh, by the way, he can't stand you,
I have no way of knowing. You have no way
of knowing if Joe Biden can't stand Kamala Harris, I
can tell you he didn't like being played. Joe Biden
(18:50):
felt like he was born to be president and should
have been president a long time ago. It was his
life aspiration and the way he began became president finally
fourth in Iowa, eavnth and New Hampshire was they had
to cut a deal in South Carolina to use them
like a trojan horse and weaponize COVID and change election
laws and hide them in a basement. And then they
expected him to shuffle along, and he refused, and then
(19:11):
they finally threw him in a trunk and gave all
his delegates to Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
He could end this today, and if he doesn't, I'm
going to begin to wonder if he can't stand Kamala Harris,
because this would obviously she is viewed as the incumbent,
would not shine a good light on her. And because
that would turn everybody's attention to the economy, which is
owned by Donald Trump, it would probably be the deciding
devastating factor. I just went over an electoral college map
(19:37):
that I my forecast would be Donald Trump by over
three hundred. That may go much higher if this looms.
Let's talk about how it looms though. If it's days
and by the way, when I say if it's days
and you know this erin from COVID, there'll be a
run starting today. People are going to run and try
(19:57):
to start getting all the right So that's going to
create an immediate shortage even before it kicks in. Let alone,
these ships are sitting out there at sea, and if
this goes on for days towards weeks, they're going to
turn around and go home. Now you've got months long disruption.
If this takes months to solve, now you've got COVID
(20:17):
disruption and a lasting impact. Probably for years like COVID,
this could really be a nightmare.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Listen, people will lose their jobs.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
This will be bad.
Speaker 9 (20:28):
If threaten's jobs, it threatens billions of dollars a day.
If strokes inflation, this could be very much. That's why
I'm like, this is this not the October surprise? It
very well could be. But at the same time, I listen,
Biden won't enact Haft Harley, but it's designed for this
eighty day cooling off period in cases of national health
and safety. It's going to have to at some point,
(20:50):
like if it gets that gnarly, it's not really that
needs to happen, and they were at the negotiating table
last night. They want this result. But much like other industries,
whether it be the automobile industry in Detroit or the
Hollywood Actors' Union out in LA tech is coming, Automation
(21:11):
is coming. It's like you can fight it, and you
don't want people to lose their jobs. I certainly don't.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's terrible.
Speaker 9 (21:17):
Like we've lived through enough I remember O wait too well,
So no, you don't want that. But at the same time,
you have to evolve if we want to compete on
a global, global platform and China is evolving.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Well, I don't need to take side. You need a
root that somehow it ends or it's going to affect
all of us. But yeah, automation, I mean it's clearly
not the money. They came with the money, but they
want to protect all their jobs. So yeah, those that
remain getting more money doesn't seem to be enough for
the long shortman. So you can't you know, once the
tech genies out of the bottle, I mean, you know,
(21:51):
you and I could get replaced by AI. Was I
saw an ad today for an AI or you can
go talk about like people that make their living doing voiceovers.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
You can go when you can pick.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Your accent, your dialect, you know, and it does You're right,
I mean even today already you could do a newscast
and I could cast the newspeople and they would just
deliver whatever was written, which is probably all that's really
happening through animatronic people on networks anyway.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
You just can't fight it.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
So the question is do you just not use it
and you know, start having fights and ease it and
even yeah, but I guess it becomes a slower evolution
because you have to in order to keep peace.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
But it's coming no matter what I mean.
Speaker 9 (22:34):
And I've always said this, like you have to evolve
or you die. And I know that people don't want
to hear that because it's scary, and I don't even
want to hear it, Like no one wants to hear that.
But anyone who thinks like AI isn't going to come
for them or their union is going to say them.
All I can say is like, you know, bless your heart,
you have to learn, like we have to work together
with this. And there might be massive opportunities. That's the
(22:55):
thing when you fight, when you fight the time time
that one of us know how much we have.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
But in all honesty, it's massive opportunities for very few.
There's only so many people can take advantage of these
waves and then you own them at the end of
the day. Who are the big winners from all these
waves of change?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Google?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Apple, you know, Amazon, you know, but there's not a lot.
But then they can provide jobs for many and they're
just different jobs. I get everything you're saying. I just
you know, I'm ready to have bananas.
Speaker 9 (23:32):
Yeah, and listen, those are perishables. Those we probably aren't
getting whatever sitting on those carts right now.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
All right, So obviously I think the way to look
at this is days is one thing. Weeks gets very problematic.
Months becomes devastating. Isn't that probably the simple way to
look at it. How long how long the ships just
hang out in the sea before they you know, head home,
Probably not much more than a week or two?
Speaker 9 (23:58):
They can't, I mean they well, it depends on the
products inside, and they're already. So Friday was kind of incredible.
They tried to move as much quantity as humanly possible
on Friday. It brought in a lot over the weekend.
So like we're probably okay today, but come this Friday,
that will change, and where we go from there will
(24:18):
change even more so. Perishables are the verse to go,
followed by pretty much everything else. But this is happening,
this is here. How we contend with it and how
we catch a place that isn't completely devastating.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
As the next question, yesterday, and I don't want to
be too hard, but you know, you knew a hurricane
was coming, and there was plenty of time for Kamala
Harris to return from the West Coast to Washington. There
was certainly plenty of time for the president to get
from Delaware to Washington, d C. To be in the
Oval office when Americans began to die and suffer, chose
(24:51):
to do it by the phone from Delaware. Okay, that's
an optic. That doesn't look good. This is a whole
different story. He has the power to create a cooling
off period. He's not doing it. And I'll let those
that want to make a political prognostication come to what
they made. But this would be devastating for his vice
(25:12):
president's chances of winning the election.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
Indeed, and also, you know it might he might be
saving this. So this is like we're hours into this,
what not even twelve hours, yet he might be saving
this card for the end of the week, you know,
saying you don't want to use it as one thing,
but if at some point you have to. So I
think that a lot of this too, is like they
were pretty close, like they're getting closer. Maybe give him
(25:34):
a chance to see if they can figure it out.
But the minute this starts affecting, you know, supply chains
and stuff like that, you have about like forty eight
hour grace period. Let's see what happens. I imagine if
it goes on much longer, it will be enacted. It
doesn't matter if he likes it or not. His Commerce
Secretary and the other powers that be will make him.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Workers supports from Maine to Texas. They're officially on strike.
Aaron Reyelle, thanks so much. We'll we'll talk to you demark.
Great reporting.
Speaker 10 (26:00):
Hey, there's Kenny Stevens in My morning show.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Is your Morning Show with Michael Ball jarn Island. This
is your morning Show.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
I'm Michael del Jorno on the air and welcoming the
new Knew nine to sixty AM. iHeart Sports talking more
in San Francisco, California. Welcome to the your Morning show family,
And if you're just waking up. Helene being blamed for
at least one hundred and twenty deaths now throughout the southeast,
still six hundred people on accounted for more than four
(26:28):
hundred thousand people in North Carolina alone, among the two
million throughout the southeast still without power. Following everything that
has been going on in Asheville, North Carolina, and Augusta, Georgia,
still reeling in the aftermath of Hurricane Helena Scott Kemler Scott,
Good morning, what's the very latest.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Oh, the latest is right now. We have a death
toll of the fifty six in western North Carolina after
the thirty two across the southeast. As you mentioned, Augusta
is in pretty bad shape in eastern Georgia, but also
other cities in Georgia are as well. But the big focus,
and probably rightly so, is western North Carolina that is
(27:10):
the most devastated from this gigantic storm. There they have
over one thousand people still unaccounted for and several hundred
thousand without power in that location, and they've added more
National Guard troops and they've shipped in mostly by air
(27:31):
two hundred thousand pounds of water, food, and commodities for people.
And the twenty two hospitals that are in the area
of western North Carolina are back on. The power grid
has been enough repareddun which is the massive group of
electrical workers that have been able to get much of
(27:52):
that grid repaired. So twenty two hospitals are back online
with and the National Guard brought them food and water,
more medical supplies of to date, just all kinds of
equipment came in with FEMA and the National Guard, you know,
and so that is an improvement for sure.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah, Scott, we talked yesterday about comparing with Katrina, because
it's often forgot looking back, most of the suffering and
the loss of life was days after Katrina and failure
to do all the things you're describing. You get a
sense that from the from FEMA and the federal government
(28:33):
to even governors and local officials, they've learned some lessons.
Nothing you can do about how this happened, but that
that part I think they've learned from and they seem
to have the support they need. Another big priority yesterday
was restoring communications for these efforts and for people to
be able to communicate their needs in emergency situations or
(28:56):
to find loved ones. What ground did we make yesterday
on the communications.
Speaker 10 (28:59):
For well, Earlier we had at least two carriers that
were in the area with mobile towers, and now there
are at least four carriers there that have come in
with mobile towers and with satellite trucks to help improve
communications there and also and that will help get help
(29:22):
to people that need it in these very remote areas.
In a lot of cases, we're talking dirt roads and
communities that are up you know, dirt and gravel roads
that just don't even exist anymore, and these people have
been cut off. Where these people will be able to
get aid hopefully when they can get the word out
or word can get to them through their cell phone alerts. Unfortunately,
(29:46):
that also means that the death toll is likely to
go up from people that have now been you know,
cut off since Friday. But from what I was saying,
communication is improving quite a bit of there because of
these these global towers that have come in, so it
allows the EMS workers to reach the people, but also
(30:07):
the medical authorities to send out alerts to tell people
where to go should they need assistance, and also to
just let people know where they are.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
By the way, also in this area is the Eastern
banned Cherokee Nation. Uh. They in a very remote area
up on high hilltops. How has been communication and efforts
to get supplies to them? I know that they FEMA
also has them on their radar and on their list.
Has that gotten to them yet?
Speaker 10 (30:40):
They are in They are they are part of the
recovery effort process. Not a lot of information has come
out of Cherokee. I from what I've seen from the
county numbers, the damage is less in the Cherokee area
than it is to the south and in the Ashville.
(31:00):
So not saying that there is not a need, that
there seems to be less of a severity need in
the Cherokee Nation than there has been in the outlying areas.
Such does Mitchell County in bunkhom County, especially Bumpcom that
county was just had tremendously hard and they have over
(31:21):
forty deaths in that county alone.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Got Kimbler, great reporting. We'll talk again next hour, all right,
if you're just waking up. The very latest that death
toll has now risen to one hundred and thirty two,
still between six hundred and one thousand unaccounted for four
hund thousand people in North Carolina still without power North
Carolina alone, let alone two million throughout the southeast as FIMA,
the National Guard and military have been called in to
(31:45):
assist with water and supplies. The restoration he had mentioned,
I know of three carriers, Verizon AT and T and
T Mobile. I don't know who the fourth is that
have set up mobile stations to restore communications in this area.
Still got a tragedy unfolding, UH in North Carolina and
in Eastern Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
