Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here. Now enjoy
the podcast two.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Three starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding. Not because we're in MITGI,
this is your morning show with Michael o'dill.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Run for those of you that are just waking up
seven minutes after the hour. I love the smell of
a dead skonk in them by.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
People think that's insane. To me, I love.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I mean I love new car smell the most after
new car smell probably blacktop.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I think it's in a neuro association with growing up
very young in Syracuse, New York. A lot of blacktop there. Well,
Deal construct should My family was Dell Construction. We did
a lot of black topic, and then skunk is probably third.
But this morning I let my dog out at three
am and when I opened the door to let him in,
he was dripping wet. Now skunk can a skyk I
(01:16):
have an English shepherd. I mean it's a mound of
hair named Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Could he spray that much that he would be dripping wet?
Or did he get sprayed and then go try to
roll on in some water? I think that's where he
tried to roll that off. Well, I got to tell
you something. It doesn't smell anything like a des skunk
in the middle of the road. It's a much different
smell up clothes, almost kind of a very heavy garlic.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, well, good luck, glad you're at home.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I don't know why that made me think of let
a king, but yes, so we're dealing with skunk in
our home and it's absolutely disgusting and there's no getting
it out.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
All right, your jd vance.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You just won the debate, which, by the way, I
guesstimated thirty six million people would watch that vice presidential
You know, I didn't miss by much, but I did
miss it was actually forty three million viewers watched. Mark
Mayfield has more details.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Nielsen figure show viewers tuned in across fifteen different networks
to watch the debate, hosted by CBS. The age group
with the largest viewership was those over fifty five, which
accounted for twenty nine million views. Minnesota Governor Tim Walls
and Senator jd Vance sparred over a number of topics,
including immigration, gun control, abortion, and the economy. A CBS
poll found forty two percent of respondents thought and Vance
(02:30):
won the debate, while forty one percent thought Walls won
and seventeen percent said it was a tie.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
I'm mark maythew A.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Lot of the fact checking is going jd Vance's way,
especially on Haitian migrants. I will say this, You know
there is the forty whether it's forty three million, whether
it's sixty two million for a presidential there are far
more millions impacted by how social media responds and place clips,
and then of course how spin rooms at networks far
(02:57):
less influential. You can add up abcnbccb YES, MSNBCC and Edin,
Fox all together and it doesn't even come close to
just X. So you really want to know the impact
of this debate, you might want to understand social media
and its reaction more. But David Sanati's joining US CEO
of the American Policy Roundtable. We never really know what
these are, but knowing that it's forty six million, which
(03:19):
is more than I think we anticipated, knowing the amount
of attention it's getting on social media, which is hundreds
of millions.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Could this debate have some impact. That's a great question, Michael.
And there's a lot from that debate that has still
gone unresolved. Let's just talk first off about the numbers.
The reality is is that this race will come down
to three, maybe five, but more likely three states. And
in those three states, the difference between Trump winning and
(03:48):
losing and Biden winning and losing the last time was
a combined, combined thirty two thousand votes. So you're talking
forty six million people. Are there thirty two thousand votes
in there? Yeah? There are.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I noticed yesterday we saw a lot of these states.
Now this would all be September thirtieth polling, which would
have been prior to the vice presidential debate.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
It's gonna be tough for you to not read into it.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
But and we were seeing, you know, Wisconsin leaning towards Trump.
Now the Georgia lead expanding for Trump, North Carolina breaking
Trump's way.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't I can call that breaking. Everybody pretty much
thinks so get North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But had gotten very tight, but now we get two
new polls that come out today or yes late yesterday.
They're not high ones on my list, Marquette Cook, but
they now show Pennsylvania Harris leading by one, Wisconsin Harris
leading by four, Trump was leading by one. I mean,
(04:47):
should we be reading in this this supposed debate.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
No, I don't think so at all. I think that
the polls are simply not accurate at this stage in
the game, even though voting has begun in a number
of places. I the methodologies by which these polls are
being taken is very difficult at best. Polling today is
going to be the final, big giant salad of all
(05:11):
the data put in within a margin of error or
three or four points. This race is actually too close
to pole, that's the problem, and it can swing back
and forth based on just a handful of demographics. Whether
you oversample Democrats, whether you undersample Republicans, whether you are
really talking about registered voters or likely voters, it's really tough.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well plus true Trump supporters. I'm not talking about Republican voters,
true Trump supporters, which probably makes up what do you think,
thirty eight percent of the Republican Party. They're not going
to pick up the phone, they would purposely not answer
and they would purposely not talk to you, which creates
an underpolling for Trump that we are getting kind of
you as our third time with him running for president,
getting a sense can be anywhere from two to five percent.
(05:56):
And if that's the case, places he's down too, he's
really up three potentially, So it's a double margin of error,
which I think makes this very difficult.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
And I know this seems almost impossible because there's so
many people contending. Well, everyone's already made up their mind.
It doesn't matter. You know, there are people who are
going to go into the voting booth and make their
decision when they see the names on the paper or
on the screen. They haven't decided yet. And now again
normally that doesn't make that big of a deal of
a difference, but you're talking about three stage thirty two
(06:25):
thousand votes. If there's thirty two thousand people somewhere between
their absentee ballots or their vote box or the day
that they go in and vote, who haven't decided yet,
this race is still in play.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
David Sanati joining us Crown Jewel of the American Policy
round Table is the Public Square heard on two hundred stations,
and he's a senior contributor for your morning show. If
we look at the real Clear Politics average, just to
show people how close North Carolina Trump leads by zero
point six percent. If he gets North Carolina and Georgia,
then it becomes a matter of just Arizona or Nevada.
(06:57):
And Arizona looks very, very solid. He's in the thick
of it. And then if Wisconsin or Michigan flips, or
he takes Pennsylvania, it's over. It takes two or three
of them. It's a landslide. So it's very significant. First
things first, you gotta hold down North Carolina zero point
six percent. Trump is leading close but leading Georgia. Trump's
(07:17):
lead is now one and a half on average. Arizona
has lead is one point seven on average. Wisconsin, we've
seen Trump leading by as much as one and we've
seen Harris leading by as much as four. But the
average is Harris zero point eight. That is razor close.
Not very far behind is Michigan, where Harris is leading
by one point three percent. Nevada Trump is trailing by
(07:40):
one point one percent, and as I mentioned, leading by
one point seven percent in Arizona.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I have to tell you this.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You know, we always say this, dispel this, don't look
for a twenty sixteen or twenty twenty map. This is
going to be a unique twenty twenty four map. Having
said that, this looks like the twenty sixteen map about
this time before the election, actually I think Hillary was
leading by more.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Yeah, and again it depends on how you're viewing the polls.
I would gently and politely say that none of this
stuff actually is real. At the stage in the game,
the race will come down to three states, because that's
where it will come down to. And if you really
look at twenty sixteen twenty twenty, and it came down
(08:23):
to three to five states and the margins were fractional.
This isn't going to change. People haven't largely changed their
minds about Donald Trump. He has a vote base with
the potential of about seventy five million, depending on who
turns up, who turns out and what we don't know.
We do know that Harris has a vote base that's
(08:44):
somewhere north of forty five percent. That's the Democrat coalition
that's going to show up no matter what. So I mean,
it's the mystery, isn't really there except for which of
the three states it's going to be and who will
get the turnout and how. That's why in the last
debate was crystal clear that JD. Vance won. The one
(09:04):
thing and the only thing that Tim Wallas was able
to hang on to and the leftist press was able
to play off of, was his undying devotion to the theology,
the religious advocation of abortion as human autonomy and it's
the most important virtue in America. That's the one thing
(09:25):
he can repair to and no one will assail him.
And that's the one issue that the Democrat Party is
counting on to win the selection. Now. People are exhausted
of hearing about it. They don't want to hear about it.
They don't want to talk about it. Very few people
wake up in the morning and say, gee, let's talk
more about abortion. That is the whole game for the
(09:46):
Democrats is to pull those people out who have that
concept of this is almost a religious zeal. That's what
they're counting on.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
The biggest problem for them has not changed. For approval
rating disapproval rating. Joe Biden's disapproval rating is fourteen percent underwater.
The right track, wrong track over a third of Americans
more than think we're okay around the right track. Thirty
(10:18):
two point nine percent think we're on the wrong track.
And the perception of Harris being an incumbent and in
the incumbent administration. If there's a tiebreaker, that could be it.
I mean, it could be as obvious as the nose
on our face here.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Well, it could be, but there's.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It's a lot of abortion to overtake.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I'm just saying, well, but there's a militant But see
the vote now splits male female, and there are just
slightly more female voters that will show up than male voters.
So it depends on which point of the viewfinder you're
looking at. And the radicalization of white, over aged forty
women in this race has been dramatic. Some of the
(11:02):
yard signs that are out there are remarkable, and they're
coming from women voters, and they are graphic, and they
are explicit, and they are clever, but they're very crude.
The amount of passion that is being exhibited by that
voting base and incited by this voting base is not
being calculated in these polls. And that's the whole game.
(11:26):
It's pure demographics, and unfortunately you know, JD. Vance did
a great job in the debate trying to turn the
debate back towards facts and back towards reality. And because
if people do get to see what's really going on
in regards to the abortion debate in America, there is
nowhere near the intensity of the war that the politicians
want you to believe. But as it relates to this race,
(11:47):
the war's there.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
If the American people understand, if they even understood at all,
Margaret Sanger, let alone fifty sixty years before her, all
those that influenced you, what's this This whole endgame play
is it's a little bit about evolution and survival of
the fittest. And no, the fittest have to take out
(12:08):
the defective to oh, we can target and choose the
defect of how it led to Nazism, what it is
today in black communities that education America really needs because
they have been sold a bill of goods and for
this for up to be down and down to be up,
this to be about reproductive rights when it's about the
slaughtering of innocent children. God help America beyond this election.
(12:32):
But I want to close with this, if we go
to the map, And this presumes that Kamala Harris and
she'll need abortion to do it, takes Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania.
I'll even give her Nevada out of Arizona. At that point,
she's got to take North Carolina or Georgia in addition
(12:53):
to get there.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
So still pretty tough for her.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I don't bee way more roads for Donald Trump than
for her. And it's only four and a half weeks
away using polls that are almost impossible to be accurate,
and if anything, are going to be under pulling Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Yeah, but I'll tell you flip that pole the other way,
and it's just as tough for Trump. I'll give him
North Carolina and Georgia is in a snap, not a problem.
But when he loses Pennsylvania, Michigan, now he's in the
same boat. It comes down to Wisconsin and Arizona, and
if he doesn't pull those two states off, he can't
win either.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Well, if I take Arizona blue in that scenario, she
wins two seventy four to two sixty four. If Arizona
goes red, he's at two seventy five. So I mean,
but she's given him Wisconsin, right.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
No, I did not.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I gave her Wisconsin, even gave her Nevada, even gave
her Pennsylvania, even gave her Michigan.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I mean, right now, if I had to choose, I'd
rather be Donald Trump. By the map anyway.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Yeah, I think I think you're right on that part.
I think the momentum is continuing to move in his direction.
It wants to move in his direction. But this is
a funny race, Michael. It's a very funny race. There's
exigencies that we still don't know, and there's plays that
are still going to be done.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Well before we move on.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I just wanted to say, Okay, a vice presidential debate
that six I mean forty six million. I understand that
they did it on many platforms that helped forty six
million people watched, and then over one hundred million will
be exposed to it through social media and repeats in commentary.
Just for the sake of today, most people think JD.
(14:36):
Vance won, or if what I expected the impact to
be was if you were for Trump and Advance, you're
going to feel better about it, and you do. And
if you were for Harris and Walls, you'll feel better
about it. Probably especially his performance on abortion and democracy
and very little change. I think we can agree that
(14:58):
this isn't We don't see it yet anyway, and we
don't anticipate this having any big I actually think this
port strike Chris Sway this election far more than that
vice presidential debate.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Yeah. I'm really interested in your thoughts on that, because
you've got a port strike that's genuinely being run by
a seventy eight year old, very closely identified with mob
figures big time.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
First of all, I did interrupt this show on behalf
of Italian Americans everywhere and say the mob is fictitious,
It's a Hollywood creation and it simply doesn't exist.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
This is your morning show with Michael Deltona. Let's see
what's on our breakfast plate. This morning.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
The vice presidential debate drew forty three million viewers. It's
about six million more than I thought. Of course, about
one hundred million more have been exposed since then on
social media. The death toll has risen to at least
one hundred and ninety in the Southeast, with hundreds still
missing after Hurricane Helene. The Israeli forces are engaged and
fighting on the ground with Hesbalah fighters in Southern Lebanon,
(16:03):
Tiger's Royals podres All advanced to the Major League Baseball
Divisional Playoff rum and the NFL tonight has Thursday Night
Football Tampa at Atlanta. And the strike by US DOC
workers appears to be causing some panic buying. I can
confirm toilet paper at Middle Tennessee. But with inflation, high
energy costs, now saying hello and meeting port strike and
(16:26):
supply chain disruption, what's the economic impact in future look like?
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Now?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
We turned to David Bonnson with the Boson Financial Group
and also our money was Good morning David.
Speaker 8 (16:37):
Well, good morning tod to be with you, Michael.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I guess the way to understand this is if it's days,
if it's weeks, or if it's months.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Right, Well, yeah, that's that's right.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
And so I would recommend people, you know, do two things.
One is look at the history of how these things
have played out.
Speaker 8 (16:57):
It's one hundred percent of the.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
Time there's a lot of question and speculation and concern
hand ringing over how bad it could be, and then
it's pretty much one hundred percent of the time that
it ever gets that bad that there ends up being
some resolution, some deal some last minute things, so forth
and so on. The media for facialism is going to
(17:19):
be high. The union threats are going to be high.
I mean, you know, I can understand why people would
be unnerved by watching this diver m and the Longshortman Union,
who makes nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year
saying I'm going to bring the American economy to its knees.
So you know, that's part of their bargaining thing, similar
to like, you know what the mafia would do stuff
(17:39):
like that. But in real life, do I think it
will lead to that kind of systemic pressure with the
lag effect.
Speaker 8 (17:47):
Of being what it is? No, I do not.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I was racking my brain yesterday, David, trying to figure
out is there any action I need to take today?
And I start thinking through you know, produce, you know,
because it's as simple as what comes by ship and
what arrives by truck from inland and all I could
come up with long term with some problems with electronics
(18:10):
and toys for holiday shopping and the retailers that count
on it.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Don't get me wrong, maybe.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Phone chargers maybe you know that would fall under electronics
with phones, I mean what are we really talking about
here long term?
Speaker 9 (18:25):
Well, I'm talking I have no long term But we're
also the problem in measuring it and people making their
forecast is that it's not merely what is involved right now,
but it's what it's going to eliminate from getting to shelves,
because you're kind of talking about things that get delivered
that might be needed in two to three months, where
(18:46):
there's already a certain build up and inventory supply other means.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
But it would be getting it would be closed, it
would be shoes, it would be toys, it would be electronics,
not things that we need to survive.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Right.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Oh, well, that's certainly true. Not yet.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
I mean, anyone who's talking about this as a matter
of life and death, it's just fear mongering on a
totally reckless stage.
Speaker 8 (19:08):
But I mean, I would.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
Say even suggesting that. Look, I mean, if we literally
had a society tomorrow that had no phone chargers, that
would be pretty economically destructive. We've gotten pretty addicted to
the use of the phones and so forth.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
But we're not talking about life or death.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
But we're also not talking about economic substance. We're talking
about marginal economic activity, and it's a wonderful lesson, Michael,
because all discussions that are cogent and sensible, intelligent, when
every time at economics everything is marginal.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
David Bonson is joining us from the Bonson Financial Group
on the port strike. This is a difficult one. First
of all, it is a specific battle between the long
shortman and.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Such.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But if you start getting into sides of it, then
you start getting angry, in our case, talkbacks, phone calls
or this or that. But the reality is these are
already much higher than average paid people, and they should be.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
To some degree.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
It's very physical, long hours and can be dangerous, but
they're already pretty high paid, and they're asking for up
to seventy seven percent pay increases, and as challenging as
that is, they're wanting to hold off, you know, artificial
intelligence and automation and robotics, and I just don't think
there's any getting that pace back in the tube.
Speaker 9 (20:29):
Is there?
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Well, there certainly is not.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
And we've learned throughout history that various protectionist measures where
you kind of say, I mean, look, let's just use
another analogy, and I know it's going to bother people,
but it's it's necessary. Michael, what if auto. Excuse me,
the Horse and Bugby union had gone on strike in
(20:52):
you know, nineteen oh six and said you stop developing
an automobile or we're not going to go back to work.
I mean, at the end of the day, any attempt
to try to curtail progress is anti capitalistic, it's anti democratic,
it's anti progress, anti freedom, anti American period.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
Point point.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
You got to get out in front of it, right,
you got to lead, You've got to anticipate, you've got
to create. I mean, I think if they came to
the table and maybe came up with a plan that
you know, brings it in at a certain pace, or
has some retraining for its workers or something that's reasonable.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
But this notion that you know, we want a.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Seventy seven percent pay increase and forget technology has ever happened?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That ain't going anywhere?
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Is it?
Speaker 8 (21:41):
No, it isn't.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
And you know, to make it matter, because I would
insist on arguing and everything I do from what we
call first principles. You know, the very biblical idea of
having kind of a foundation of solid grant from which
you argue. If you look at a first principle here,
it's the reason to be afraid to technological advancement is
that it could hurt the apployment possibilities alongshoreman.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Well, why are we even limiting its artificial intelligence?
Speaker 9 (22:07):
As Milton Friedman said, if the purpose of that kindomic
activity with some employed people, we should get rid of
tractors and cranes and everything should be done with a spoon.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Well, I do a lot of damage with the spoon, David.
You should have saved me last night with my spoon
and fork and pasta. All right, closing moments. If perception
is reality and this is exaggerated panic creation, the only
real damage it could potentially do, and you would think
that Unions and Joe and Unions and Democrats are in
(22:41):
bed together would probably be create an uncertainty about an
already troubled area in the American people's mind going in
the wrong direction, and chaos from all directions. It would
probably only hurt them. So you'll wonder what the political
strategy is here.
Speaker 9 (22:58):
Well, and that's where I think the longshoreman Union are
leveraging the political reality because it becomes an asset for them.
The fear of price upside prices, acerbations, supply chain distress,
so you know, there's no coincidence that this is being
pressed in the beginning of October and the administration is wanted.
(23:22):
They've gone out of the way to try to position
themselves as a friend of labor union, sometimes to a
sort of irrational extent. And I will tell you that
a deal's coming and we all we don't know is
when and exactly what we'll they'll give in on, and
the deal will end up being a little better than
it would have been if it weren't for this sort
of hostage taking.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
Tactic in the final moment.
Speaker 9 (23:46):
But the centationalism is two things.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
It's the it's it's it's.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
The longshoreman for a leverage and bargaining power. And it's
the media as part of their business model.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
And so people tune in and then listen longer.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah. Yeah, because I mean when you when you get
back to.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Those you know, simple principles like you talk about, I mean,
literally yesterday, I'm racking my brains on how to panic
over this, and I just couldn't.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I mean, I couldn't even in brainstorming.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Thinks the integrity though, the way you're running your show
is I'll say this to listeners, you and I did
not speak before the segment.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
You did not know what I was going to say.
Speaker 9 (24:21):
I had TV stations calling me this week to have
me on, and then they got my notes and they said, no,
never mind, we want someone who's gonna say this is
going to ruin the.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
World, ruin the economy.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Oh my god, does that really.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
Happen all the time? Are you kidding me all the time?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (24:36):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I mean they're not.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
So it's not even about steering the angle, because I
always say, bias happens stories. You cover stories, you ignore angles,
You choose angles, you don't choose people. You talk to people,
you don't the questions you asked, the answers you use.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And don't use.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
We can go on and on and on, but it
is so the death of journalism has gotten to such
a rotten corpse that they just they don't even bring
you on.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
They just well, But it's also an economic class and
incentives matter.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
The business model is such that they only they get.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
Clicks and ratings from fear mongering and sensationalism and hype,
and they don't without it.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
So you know, the mistake is thinking the journalism is
not a business. It is.
Speaker 9 (25:21):
But there are some who their business is off ed.
It's it's intelligent commentary, it's thoughtful analysis. That's their stick. O.
There's their stick is doom and gloom and so forth.
This is, by the way, not a right left thing.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
So it happens on all sides, as you.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, so let me ask you this in final question.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Glenn Beck, who I've known for twenty five years, yesterday
had a very meaningful discussion that does not come up
anywhere else in the media.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
And that is sure.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
We know there's slave labor, child labor in China, a
lot of things that undercut the competitive forces. But you know,
going to their ports and the automation they're using and
the volume of things they can turn out, that's a
big part of a their price advantage and their volume advantage.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I mean, we almost need to embrace this stuff to
compete too, don't we. Somebody should say somebody should say.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
It out loud, embrace technological innovation and automation and other
advantages in inefficiency.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
Of course we should embrace it.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
And then, by the way, we should not embrace it
and say when it's also going to mean less people
have jobs.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
It is not going to mean less people have jobs.
It is going to mean some people have.
Speaker 9 (26:35):
Different jobs, okay, and I do not say that without empathy.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
People, Yeah, but you drive a cab versus drive up,
or drive the horse and carriage or but there are
other changes too. I mean, I go back to Kennedy
with space, and everybody feared space and feared missile advantages
for the Soviet Union or who would control space and
how would they rule the world.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Just like you know, air fighting.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Changed wars, and and water fighting changed wars.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
You know, the space would change wars. Kenny didn't fear it.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
He just said it's there now, let's get there and
make sure we control it. There has to be that
at some point with our I mean, I'm telling you
artificial intelligence could do news today. It could literally pick
an accent a voice and deliver. You wouldn't be able
to tell the difference. You would think, man, that's a
great sounding anchor. But there are some things that can't do.
(27:28):
But some things that's gonna do, and you better get
out in front of it or you're going to be
the one left behind and it's really your fault you're
left behind, not the technology.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Did I say it too crudely?
Speaker 9 (27:38):
Well, I mean, look it may be too crude for
something to hear it that way, but it is all true.
It's just it's not as negative as people think it
is because when you reallocate labor, in other words, you
move resources around, it always means changing opportunity, not declining opportunity.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
This is Shannon Gregory and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael door Zono. If you're just waking up.
The death Tolle has risen to at least one hundred
and ninety in the Southeast. Hundreds still missing, so that
number will grow. President Biden announced details of relief efforts
going towards North Carolina yesterday.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
Today I approved a request of Governor Cooper for the
federal government to cover one percent of all the costs
for debris removal, murgercy protective measures for six months.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
These are not Republicans, they're Democrats. These are Americans suffering
in America. Will respond no Democrats.
Speaker 10 (28:37):
Republicans are only Americans, and our job is help as
many people as we can, as quickly as we can,
and as thoroughly as we can.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Biden let everybody know he's feeling what the people are
suffering and what they've lost.
Speaker 10 (28:50):
My heart was out to everyone who has experienced the
unthinkable loss, but we're here for you.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Tuesdays Vice presidential debate, I said thirty six million. John
Decker said even less. We were both wrong. Forty three
million people were watching. Mark Mayfield has more details.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Nielsen figure show viewers tuned in across fifteen different networks
to watch the debate, hosted by CBS. The age group
with the largest viewership was those over fifty five, which
accounted for twenty nine million views. Minnesota Governor Tim Walls
and Senator JD. Vance sparred over a number of topics,
including immigration, gun control, abortion, and the economy. A CBS
poll found forty two percent of respondents thought Vance won
(29:31):
the debate, while forty one percent thought Walls won and
seventeen percent said it was a tie.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
I'm Mark Mayfew.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Dock workers on the East Coast and Gulf Coast of
the United States are on day three of their strike.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Brian Shuck reports.
Speaker 11 (29:43):
Stu Leonard has supermarkets up and down the East Coast,
and he worries that people across the US will start
feeling the pinch soon.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
So there's a ripple effect that it's going to clog
up the supply.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
Chap Dock workers have halted the flow of about half
the nation's ocean shipping after negotiations for a new labor
contract broke down over wages. Analysts warn the disruption will
cost the economy billions of dollars a day, threatened jobs
and stoke inflation. I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Scar Scare scare.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Betting on the twenty twenty four election will be allowed.
Chris Karagio has more.
Speaker 12 (30:19):
A federal appeals court made the ruling, going against the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The government agency argued that allowing
betting could undermine election integrity and asked the court to
block the prediction exchange platform Kyushi from offering bets on
which party would control each House of Congress. The site
advertises itself as a regulated exchange and prediction market where
(30:41):
you can trade on the outcome of real world events.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I'm Chris Karacio.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
By the way, we have our own your morning show
bookie who has the latest odds for you if you're
considering a bet.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
So this is the way the wise guys see the
electorial votes betting line.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Two seventy above.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
Trump's favorite very slight favorite right now below two seventy.
She's an underdog.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
Oh I love that boy.
Speaker 6 (31:07):
We're all in this together. This is Your Morning Show

Joano
Hey, it's me Michael.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Your morning show can be heard live five to eight
am Central, six to nine Eastern and great cities like Jackson, Mississippi, Akron, Ohio,
or Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine and we're grateful you're here. Now enjoy
the podcast two.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Three starting your morning off right, A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding. Not because we're in MITGI,
this is your morning show with Michael o'dill.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Run for those of you that are just waking up
seven minutes after the hour. I love the smell of
a dead skonk in them by.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
People think that's insane. To me, I love.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I mean I love new car smell the most after
new car smell probably blacktop.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I love this.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I think it's in a neuro association with growing up
very young in Syracuse, New York. A lot of blacktop there. Well,
Deal construct should My family was Dell Construction. We did
a lot of black topic, and then skunk is probably third.
But this morning I let my dog out at three
am and when I opened the door to let him in,
he was dripping wet. Now skunk can a skyk I
(01:16):
have an English shepherd. I mean it's a mound of
hair named Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Could he spray that much that he would be dripping wet?
Or did he get sprayed and then go try to
roll on in some water? I think that's where he
tried to roll that off. Well, I got to tell
you something. It doesn't smell anything like a des skunk
in the middle of the road. It's a much different
smell up clothes, almost kind of a very heavy garlic.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, well, good luck, glad you're at home.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I don't know why that made me think of let
a king, but yes, so we're dealing with skunk in
our home and it's absolutely disgusting and there's no getting
it out.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
All right, your jd vance.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You just won the debate, which, by the way, I
guesstimated thirty six million people would watch that vice presidential
You know, I didn't miss by much, but I did
miss it was actually forty three million viewers watched. Mark
Mayfield has more details.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Nielsen figure show viewers tuned in across fifteen different networks
to watch the debate, hosted by CBS. The age group
with the largest viewership was those over fifty five, which
accounted for twenty nine million views. Minnesota Governor Tim Walls
and Senator jd Vance sparred over a number of topics,
including immigration, gun control, abortion, and the economy. A CBS
poll found forty two percent of respondents thought and Vance
(02:30):
won the debate, while forty one percent thought Walls won
and seventeen percent said it was a tie.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
I'm mark maythew A.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Lot of the fact checking is going jd Vance's way,
especially on Haitian migrants. I will say this, You know
there is the forty whether it's forty three million, whether
it's sixty two million for a presidential there are far
more millions impacted by how social media responds and place clips,
and then of course how spin rooms at networks far
(02:57):
less influential. You can add up abcnbccb YES, MSNBCC and Edin,
Fox all together and it doesn't even come close to
just X. So you really want to know the impact
of this debate, you might want to understand social media
and its reaction more. But David Sanati's joining US CEO
of the American Policy Roundtable. We never really know what
these are, but knowing that it's forty six million, which
(03:19):
is more than I think we anticipated, knowing the amount
of attention it's getting on social media, which is hundreds
of millions.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Could this debate have some impact. That's a great question, Michael.
And there's a lot from that debate that has still
gone unresolved. Let's just talk first off about the numbers.
The reality is is that this race will come down
to three, maybe five, but more likely three states. And
in those three states, the difference between Trump winning and
(03:48):
losing and Biden winning and losing the last time was
a combined, combined thirty two thousand votes. So you're talking
forty six million people. Are there thirty two thousand votes
in there? Yeah? There are.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
I noticed yesterday we saw a lot of these states.
Now this would all be September thirtieth polling, which would
have been prior to the vice presidential debate.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
It's gonna be tough for you to not read into it.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
But and we were seeing, you know, Wisconsin leaning towards Trump.
Now the Georgia lead expanding for Trump, North Carolina breaking
Trump's way.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't I can call that breaking. Everybody pretty much
thinks so get North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
But had gotten very tight, but now we get two
new polls that come out today or yes late yesterday.
They're not high ones on my list, Marquette Cook, but
they now show Pennsylvania Harris leading by one, Wisconsin Harris
leading by four, Trump was leading by one. I mean,
(04:47):
should we be reading in this this supposed debate.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
No, I don't think so at all. I think that
the polls are simply not accurate at this stage in
the game, even though voting has begun in a number
of places. I the methodologies by which these polls are
being taken is very difficult at best. Polling today is
going to be the final, big giant salad of all
(05:11):
the data put in within a margin of error or
three or four points. This race is actually too close
to pole, that's the problem, and it can swing back
and forth based on just a handful of demographics. Whether
you oversample Democrats, whether you undersample Republicans, whether you are
really talking about registered voters or likely voters, it's really tough.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well plus true Trump supporters. I'm not talking about Republican voters,
true Trump supporters, which probably makes up what do you think,
thirty eight percent of the Republican Party. They're not going
to pick up the phone, they would purposely not answer
and they would purposely not talk to you, which creates
an underpolling for Trump that we are getting kind of
you as our third time with him running for president,
getting a sense can be anywhere from two to five percent.
(05:56):
And if that's the case, places he's down too, he's
really up three potentially, So it's a double margin of error,
which I think makes this very difficult.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
And I know this seems almost impossible because there's so
many people contending. Well, everyone's already made up their mind.
It doesn't matter. You know, there are people who are
going to go into the voting booth and make their
decision when they see the names on the paper or
on the screen. They haven't decided yet. And now again
normally that doesn't make that big of a deal of
a difference, but you're talking about three stage thirty two
(06:25):
thousand votes. If there's thirty two thousand people somewhere between
their absentee ballots or their vote box or the day
that they go in and vote, who haven't decided yet,
this race is still in play.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
David Sanati joining us Crown Jewel of the American Policy
round Table is the Public Square heard on two hundred stations,
and he's a senior contributor for your morning show. If
we look at the real Clear Politics average, just to
show people how close North Carolina Trump leads by zero
point six percent. If he gets North Carolina and Georgia,
then it becomes a matter of just Arizona or Nevada.
(06:57):
And Arizona looks very, very solid. He's in the thick
of it. And then if Wisconsin or Michigan flips, or
he takes Pennsylvania, it's over. It takes two or three
of them. It's a landslide. So it's very significant. First
things first, you gotta hold down North Carolina zero point
six percent. Trump is leading close but leading Georgia. Trump's
(07:17):
lead is now one and a half on average. Arizona
has lead is one point seven on average. Wisconsin, we've
seen Trump leading by as much as one and we've
seen Harris leading by as much as four. But the
average is Harris zero point eight. That is razor close.
Not very far behind is Michigan, where Harris is leading
by one point three percent. Nevada Trump is trailing by
(07:40):
one point one percent, and as I mentioned, leading by
one point seven percent in Arizona.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I have to tell you this.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You know, we always say this, dispel this, don't look
for a twenty sixteen or twenty twenty map. This is
going to be a unique twenty twenty four map. Having
said that, this looks like the twenty sixteen map about
this time before the election, actually I think Hillary was
leading by more.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
Yeah, and again it depends on how you're viewing the polls.
I would gently and politely say that none of this
stuff actually is real. At the stage in the game,
the race will come down to three states, because that's
where it will come down to. And if you really
look at twenty sixteen twenty twenty, and it came down
(08:23):
to three to five states and the margins were fractional.
This isn't going to change. People haven't largely changed their
minds about Donald Trump. He has a vote base with
the potential of about seventy five million, depending on who
turns up, who turns out and what we don't know.
We do know that Harris has a vote base that's
(08:44):
somewhere north of forty five percent. That's the Democrat coalition
that's going to show up no matter what. So I mean,
it's the mystery, isn't really there except for which of
the three states it's going to be and who will
get the turnout and how. That's why in the last
debate was crystal clear that JD. Vance won. The one
(09:04):
thing and the only thing that Tim Wallas was able
to hang on to and the leftist press was able
to play off of, was his undying devotion to the theology,
the religious advocation of abortion as human autonomy and it's
the most important virtue in America. That's the one thing
(09:25):
he can repair to and no one will assail him.
And that's the one issue that the Democrat Party is
counting on to win the selection. Now. People are exhausted
of hearing about it. They don't want to hear about it.
They don't want to talk about it. Very few people
wake up in the morning and say, gee, let's talk
more about abortion. That is the whole game for the
(09:46):
Democrats is to pull those people out who have that
concept of this is almost a religious zeal. That's what
they're counting on.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
The biggest problem for them has not changed. For approval
rating disapproval rating. Joe Biden's disapproval rating is fourteen percent underwater.
The right track, wrong track over a third of Americans
more than think we're okay around the right track. Thirty
(10:18):
two point nine percent think we're on the wrong track.
And the perception of Harris being an incumbent and in
the incumbent administration. If there's a tiebreaker, that could be it.
I mean, it could be as obvious as the nose
on our face here.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Well, it could be, but there's.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
It's a lot of abortion to overtake.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I'm just saying, well, but there's a militant But see
the vote now splits male female, and there are just
slightly more female voters that will show up than male voters.
So it depends on which point of the viewfinder you're
looking at. And the radicalization of white, over aged forty
women in this race has been dramatic. Some of the
(11:02):
yard signs that are out there are remarkable, and they're
coming from women voters, and they are graphic, and they
are explicit, and they are clever, but they're very crude.
The amount of passion that is being exhibited by that
voting base and incited by this voting base is not
being calculated in these polls. And that's the whole game.
(11:26):
It's pure demographics, and unfortunately you know, JD. Vance did
a great job in the debate trying to turn the
debate back towards facts and back towards reality. And because
if people do get to see what's really going on
in regards to the abortion debate in America, there is
nowhere near the intensity of the war that the politicians
want you to believe. But as it relates to this race,
(11:47):
the war's there.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
If the American people understand, if they even understood at all,
Margaret Sanger, let alone fifty sixty years before her, all
those that influenced you, what's this This whole endgame play
is it's a little bit about evolution and survival of
the fittest. And no, the fittest have to take out
(12:08):
the defective to oh, we can target and choose the
defect of how it led to Nazism, what it is
today in black communities that education America really needs because
they have been sold a bill of goods and for
this for up to be down and down to be up,
this to be about reproductive rights when it's about the
slaughtering of innocent children. God help America beyond this election.
(12:32):
But I want to close with this, if we go
to the map, And this presumes that Kamala Harris and
she'll need abortion to do it, takes Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania.
I'll even give her Nevada out of Arizona. At that point,
she's got to take North Carolina or Georgia in addition
(12:53):
to get there.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
So still pretty tough for her.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I don't bee way more roads for Donald Trump than
for her. And it's only four and a half weeks
away using polls that are almost impossible to be accurate,
and if anything, are going to be under pulling Donald Trump.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Yeah, but I'll tell you flip that pole the other way,
and it's just as tough for Trump. I'll give him
North Carolina and Georgia is in a snap, not a problem.
But when he loses Pennsylvania, Michigan, now he's in the
same boat. It comes down to Wisconsin and Arizona, and
if he doesn't pull those two states off, he can't
win either.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Well, if I take Arizona blue in that scenario, she
wins two seventy four to two sixty four. If Arizona
goes red, he's at two seventy five. So I mean,
but she's given him Wisconsin, right.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
No, I did not.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I gave her Wisconsin, even gave her Nevada, even gave
her Pennsylvania, even gave her Michigan.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
I mean, right now, if I had to choose, I'd
rather be Donald Trump. By the map anyway.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Yeah, I think I think you're right on that part.
I think the momentum is continuing to move in his direction.
It wants to move in his direction. But this is
a funny race, Michael. It's a very funny race. There's
exigencies that we still don't know, and there's plays that
are still going to be done.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Well before we move on.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
I just wanted to say, Okay, a vice presidential debate
that six I mean forty six million. I understand that
they did it on many platforms that helped forty six
million people watched, and then over one hundred million will
be exposed to it through social media and repeats in commentary.
Just for the sake of today, most people think JD.
(14:36):
Vance won, or if what I expected the impact to
be was if you were for Trump and Advance, you're
going to feel better about it, and you do. And
if you were for Harris and Walls, you'll feel better
about it. Probably especially his performance on abortion and democracy
and very little change. I think we can agree that
(14:58):
this isn't We don't see it yet anyway, and we
don't anticipate this having any big I actually think this
port strike Chris Sway this election far more than that
vice presidential debate.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Yeah. I'm really interested in your thoughts on that, because
you've got a port strike that's genuinely being run by
a seventy eight year old, very closely identified with mob
figures big time.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
First of all, I did interrupt this show on behalf
of Italian Americans everywhere and say the mob is fictitious,
It's a Hollywood creation and it simply doesn't exist.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
This is your morning show with Michael Deltona. Let's see
what's on our breakfast plate. This morning.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
The vice presidential debate drew forty three million viewers. It's
about six million more than I thought. Of course, about
one hundred million more have been exposed since then on
social media. The death toll has risen to at least
one hundred and ninety in the Southeast, with hundreds still
missing after Hurricane Helene. The Israeli forces are engaged and
fighting on the ground with Hesbalah fighters in Southern Lebanon,
(16:03):
Tiger's Royals podres All advanced to the Major League Baseball
Divisional Playoff rum and the NFL tonight has Thursday Night
Football Tampa at Atlanta. And the strike by US DOC
workers appears to be causing some panic buying. I can
confirm toilet paper at Middle Tennessee. But with inflation, high
energy costs, now saying hello and meeting port strike and
(16:26):
supply chain disruption, what's the economic impact in future look like?
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Now?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
We turned to David Bonnson with the Boson Financial Group
and also our money was Good morning David.
Speaker 8 (16:37):
Well, good morning tod to be with you, Michael.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
I guess the way to understand this is if it's days,
if it's weeks, or if it's months.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Right, Well, yeah, that's that's right.
Speaker 9 (16:48):
And so I would recommend people, you know, do two things.
One is look at the history of how these things
have played out.
Speaker 8 (16:57):
It's one hundred percent of the.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
Time there's a lot of question and speculation and concern
hand ringing over how bad it could be, and then
it's pretty much one hundred percent of the time that
it ever gets that bad that there ends up being
some resolution, some deal some last minute things, so forth
and so on. The media for facialism is going to
(17:19):
be high. The union threats are going to be high.
I mean, you know, I can understand why people would
be unnerved by watching this diver m and the Longshortman Union,
who makes nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year
saying I'm going to bring the American economy to its knees.
So you know, that's part of their bargaining thing, similar
to like, you know what the mafia would do stuff
(17:39):
like that. But in real life, do I think it
will lead to that kind of systemic pressure with the
lag effect.
Speaker 8 (17:47):
Of being what it is? No, I do not.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I was racking my brain yesterday, David, trying to figure
out is there any action I need to take today?
And I start thinking through you know, produce, you know,
because it's as simple as what comes by ship and
what arrives by truck from inland and all I could
come up with long term with some problems with electronics
(18:10):
and toys for holiday shopping and the retailers that count
on it.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Don't get me wrong, maybe.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Phone chargers maybe you know that would fall under electronics
with phones, I mean what are we really talking about
here long term?
Speaker 9 (18:25):
Well, I'm talking I have no long term But we're
also the problem in measuring it and people making their
forecast is that it's not merely what is involved right now,
but it's what it's going to eliminate from getting to shelves,
because you're kind of talking about things that get delivered
that might be needed in two to three months, where
(18:46):
there's already a certain build up and inventory supply other means.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
But it would be getting it would be closed, it
would be shoes, it would be toys, it would be electronics,
not things that we need to survive.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Right.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Oh, well, that's certainly true. Not yet.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
I mean, anyone who's talking about this as a matter
of life and death, it's just fear mongering on a
totally reckless stage.
Speaker 8 (19:08):
But I mean, I would.
Speaker 9 (19:08):
Say even suggesting that. Look, I mean, if we literally
had a society tomorrow that had no phone chargers, that
would be pretty economically destructive. We've gotten pretty addicted to
the use of the phones and so forth.
Speaker 8 (19:24):
But we're not talking about life or death.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
But we're also not talking about economic substance. We're talking
about marginal economic activity, and it's a wonderful lesson, Michael,
because all discussions that are cogent and sensible, intelligent, when
every time at economics everything is marginal.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
David Bonson is joining us from the Bonson Financial Group
on the port strike. This is a difficult one. First
of all, it is a specific battle between the long
shortman and.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Such.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But if you start getting into sides of it, then
you start getting angry, in our case, talkbacks, phone calls
or this or that. But the reality is these are
already much higher than average paid people, and they should be.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
To some degree.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
It's very physical, long hours and can be dangerous, but
they're already pretty high paid, and they're asking for up
to seventy seven percent pay increases, and as challenging as
that is, they're wanting to hold off, you know, artificial
intelligence and automation and robotics, and I just don't think
there's any getting that pace back in the tube.
Speaker 9 (20:29):
Is there?
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Well, there certainly is not.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
And we've learned throughout history that various protectionist measures where
you kind of say, I mean, look, let's just use
another analogy, and I know it's going to bother people,
but it's it's necessary. Michael, what if auto. Excuse me,
the Horse and Bugby union had gone on strike in
(20:52):
you know, nineteen oh six and said you stop developing
an automobile or we're not going to go back to work.
I mean, at the end of the day, any attempt
to try to curtail progress is anti capitalistic, it's anti democratic,
it's anti progress, anti freedom, anti American period.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
Point point.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
You got to get out in front of it, right,
you got to lead, You've got to anticipate, you've got
to create. I mean, I think if they came to
the table and maybe came up with a plan that
you know, brings it in at a certain pace, or
has some retraining for its workers or something that's reasonable.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
But this notion that you know, we want a.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Seventy seven percent pay increase and forget technology has ever happened?
Speaker 1 (21:39):
That ain't going anywhere?
Speaker 7 (21:40):
Is it?
Speaker 8 (21:41):
No, it isn't.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
And you know, to make it matter, because I would
insist on arguing and everything I do from what we
call first principles. You know, the very biblical idea of
having kind of a foundation of solid grant from which
you argue. If you look at a first principle here,
it's the reason to be afraid to technological advancement is
that it could hurt the apployment possibilities alongshoreman.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Well, why are we even limiting its artificial intelligence?
Speaker 9 (22:07):
As Milton Friedman said, if the purpose of that kindomic
activity with some employed people, we should get rid of
tractors and cranes and everything should be done with a spoon.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Well, I do a lot of damage with the spoon, David.
You should have saved me last night with my spoon
and fork and pasta. All right, closing moments. If perception
is reality and this is exaggerated panic creation, the only
real damage it could potentially do, and you would think
that Unions and Joe and Unions and Democrats are in
(22:41):
bed together would probably be create an uncertainty about an
already troubled area in the American people's mind going in
the wrong direction, and chaos from all directions. It would
probably only hurt them. So you'll wonder what the political
strategy is here.
Speaker 9 (22:58):
Well, and that's where I think the longshoreman Union are
leveraging the political reality because it becomes an asset for them.
The fear of price upside prices, acerbations, supply chain distress,
so you know, there's no coincidence that this is being
pressed in the beginning of October and the administration is wanted.
(23:22):
They've gone out of the way to try to position
themselves as a friend of labor union, sometimes to a
sort of irrational extent. And I will tell you that
a deal's coming and we all we don't know is
when and exactly what we'll they'll give in on, and
the deal will end up being a little better than
it would have been if it weren't for this sort
of hostage taking.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
Tactic in the final moment.
Speaker 9 (23:46):
But the centationalism is two things.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
It's the it's it's it's.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
The longshoreman for a leverage and bargaining power. And it's
the media as part of their business model.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
And so people tune in and then listen longer.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Yeah. Yeah, because I mean when you when you get
back to.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Those you know, simple principles like you talk about, I mean,
literally yesterday, I'm racking my brains on how to panic
over this, and I just couldn't.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
I mean, I couldn't even in brainstorming.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Thinks the integrity though, the way you're running your show
is I'll say this to listeners, you and I did
not speak before the segment.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
You did not know what I was going to say.
Speaker 9 (24:21):
I had TV stations calling me this week to have
me on, and then they got my notes and they said, no,
never mind, we want someone who's gonna say this is
going to ruin the.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
World, ruin the economy.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Oh my god, does that really.
Speaker 8 (24:32):
Happen all the time? Are you kidding me all the time?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (24:36):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I mean they're not.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
So it's not even about steering the angle, because I
always say, bias happens stories. You cover stories, you ignore angles,
You choose angles, you don't choose people. You talk to people,
you don't the questions you asked, the answers you use.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
And don't use.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
We can go on and on and on, but it
is so the death of journalism has gotten to such
a rotten corpse that they just they don't even bring
you on.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
They just well, But it's also an economic class and
incentives matter.
Speaker 8 (25:07):
The business model is such that they only they get.
Speaker 9 (25:10):
Clicks and ratings from fear mongering and sensationalism and hype,
and they don't without it.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
So you know, the mistake is thinking the journalism is
not a business. It is.
Speaker 9 (25:21):
But there are some who their business is off ed.
It's it's intelligent commentary, it's thoughtful analysis. That's their stick. O.
There's their stick is doom and gloom and so forth.
This is, by the way, not a right left thing.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
So it happens on all sides, as you.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, so let me ask you this in final question.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Glenn Beck, who I've known for twenty five years, yesterday
had a very meaningful discussion that does not come up
anywhere else in the media.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
And that is sure.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
We know there's slave labor, child labor in China, a
lot of things that undercut the competitive forces. But you know,
going to their ports and the automation they're using and
the volume of things they can turn out, that's a
big part of a their price advantage and their volume advantage.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I mean, we almost need to embrace this stuff to
compete too, don't we. Somebody should say somebody should say.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
It out loud, embrace technological innovation and automation and other
advantages in inefficiency.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
Of course we should embrace it.
Speaker 9 (26:26):
And then, by the way, we should not embrace it
and say when it's also going to mean less people
have jobs.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
It is not going to mean less people have jobs.
It is going to mean some people have.
Speaker 9 (26:35):
Different jobs, okay, and I do not say that without empathy.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
People, Yeah, but you drive a cab versus drive up,
or drive the horse and carriage or but there are
other changes too. I mean, I go back to Kennedy
with space, and everybody feared space and feared missile advantages
for the Soviet Union or who would control space and
how would they rule the world.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Just like you know, air fighting.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Changed wars, and and water fighting changed wars.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
You know, the space would change wars. Kenny didn't fear it.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
He just said it's there now, let's get there and
make sure we control it. There has to be that
at some point with our I mean, I'm telling you
artificial intelligence could do news today. It could literally pick
an accent a voice and deliver. You wouldn't be able
to tell the difference. You would think, man, that's a
great sounding anchor. But there are some things that can't do.
(27:28):
But some things that's gonna do, and you better get
out in front of it or you're going to be
the one left behind and it's really your fault you're
left behind, not the technology.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Did I say it too crudely?
Speaker 9 (27:38):
Well, I mean, look it may be too crude for
something to hear it that way, but it is all true.
It's just it's not as negative as people think it
is because when you reallocate labor, in other words, you
move resources around, it always means changing opportunity, not declining opportunity.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
This is Shannon Gregory and my morning show is your
Morning Show with Michael door Zono. If you're just waking up.
The death Tolle has risen to at least one hundred
and ninety in the Southeast. Hundreds still missing, so that
number will grow. President Biden announced details of relief efforts
going towards North Carolina yesterday.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
Today I approved a request of Governor Cooper for the
federal government to cover one percent of all the costs
for debris removal, murgercy protective measures for six months.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
These are not Republicans, they're Democrats. These are Americans suffering
in America. Will respond no Democrats.
Speaker 10 (28:37):
Republicans are only Americans, and our job is help as
many people as we can, as quickly as we can,
and as thoroughly as we can.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Biden let everybody know he's feeling what the people are
suffering and what they've lost.
Speaker 10 (28:50):
My heart was out to everyone who has experienced the
unthinkable loss, but we're here for you.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Tuesdays Vice presidential debate, I said thirty six million. John
Decker said even less. We were both wrong. Forty three
million people were watching. Mark Mayfield has more details.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
Nielsen figure show viewers tuned in across fifteen different networks
to watch the debate, hosted by CBS. The age group
with the largest viewership was those over fifty five, which
accounted for twenty nine million views. Minnesota Governor Tim Walls
and Senator JD. Vance sparred over a number of topics,
including immigration, gun control, abortion, and the economy. A CBS
poll found forty two percent of respondents thought Vance won
(29:31):
the debate, while forty one percent thought Walls won and
seventeen percent said it was a tie.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
I'm Mark Mayfew.

Dock workers on the East Coast and Gulf Coast of
the United States are on day three of their strike.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Brian Shuck reports.
Speaker 11 (29:43):
Stu Leonard has supermarkets up and down the East Coast,
and he worries that people across the US will start
feeling the pinch soon.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
So there's a ripple effect that it's going to clog
up the supply.
Speaker 11 (29:54):
Chap Dock workers have halted the flow of about half
the nation's ocean shipping after negotiations for a new labor
contract broke down over wages. Analysts warn the disruption will
cost the economy billions of dollars a day, threatened jobs
and stoke inflation. I'm Brian Shook.

Betting on the twenty twenty four election will be allowed.
Chris Karagio has more.
Speaker 12 (30:19):
A federal appeals court made the ruling, going against the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The government agency argued that allowing
betting could undermine election integrity and asked the court to
block the prediction exchange platform Kyushi from offering bets on
which party would control each House of Congress. The site
advertises itself as a regulated exchange and prediction market where
(30:41):
you can trade on the outcome of real world events.

Two seventy above.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
Trump's favorite very slight favorite right now below two seventy.
She's an underdog.
