need some blankets. News Radio six fifty k e n I, Anchorage, Alaska.
We'd love to be a part of your morning routine.
Now enjoy the podcast two.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Three starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in the stiget.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
This is your morning show with Michael Bill, Jordan Nerdy.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Bird gets the worm that c'd be squirrel doesn't get
the nut. Look out for the skunk that might spray
your dog. How you add that one to the list
thanks to us. About thirteen hours, Well, it was about
thirteen hours to get the skunk out of the house
and clear the odor. But we're still there. You're just
getting used to it. Well, yeah, whenever, whenever Scout enters

(01:01):
the room, there's still a remnant of it on him,
that's for sure. Welcome to Friday, October fourth, twenty twenty
four on the Aaron, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
This is your morning show. It belongs to you. Feel

your iHeartRadio app. It's a little microphone. You record a message,
We get it instantly, no more waiting on hold for hours.

(01:21):
You can email Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com and
of course toll free one eight hundred and six eight
eight ninety five twenty two if you're just getting up.
Hurricane Helen's death toll is now two fifteen. There's still
hundreds unaccounted for. This number is expected to grow, and
the striking doc workers are back at work. It's a
bit of a mystery. It's been a little bit tentative,
but it's a sixty two percent not as high as

(01:43):
seventy seven percent increase, but a sixty two percent pay
hike over six years. They really didn't address the automation.
You're going to have a lot of people in the
matrix on the right say somebody from the left got
a hold of these people and said, you're going to
sway the entire election. If unions are going to be
in bed with the Democrat Party, this, we got to

(02:04):
kick the can to this. If Biden won't. Here's the
counter at least I have to admit it kind of
reeks to that to me too. But good news, you
bought the toilet paper for nothing. The striking workers are
back at work. We caught up with yl Exstein, with Exstein,
with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews first and

(02:25):
foremost to make sure everything you know, you know what
is it like to be on the ground in Israel
in a time of war, and ultimately to give me
and you and the your morning show cities an opportunity
to a to hear that and b if they feel
led to make a measurable difference in standing by Israel. Now,

(02:46):
I think what push comes to shob, I'm happy to
say the even the Biden administration may not be that
way with Kamala Harris, but it certainly was with the
Biden administration. They had a tough political position because they
have a good portion of their party that's anti Israel,
like it's anti America quite frankly, and pro Palestinian. So
he had the political balance being well, when push comes

(03:07):
to shove, the USS coal was offshore protecting Israel, just
like the Iron Dome. And that's good news for the moment.
But there's no question that we as believers, if you're
a fellow believer, need to stand with the people of Israel.
And that's what we wanted to talk to Yale about
and ask her really kind of point blank first and foremost,

(03:29):
how's she doing?

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Thank you so much? Well. The past year has definitely
taught us to be resilient, that we know how to
seek shelter when there are attacks on our people, and
then we also know the other side that I think
is no less important of how to then go on
with life and thank God for another day and another

(03:50):
sunshining and blessing of breathing. So in Israel, we are
very confident that we are representing the values of the world,
sanctifying life and preserving freedom in a region that is
all too often trying to destroy it. So we are
staying strong. We are held up by the prayers of

(04:12):
so many people like you, and we will continue to
fight for a right to exist.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I will tell you I always view the epicenter of
the world the Middle East, and the epicenter of the
Middle East is or in the epicenter of the epicenter
of the epicenter, the Temple Mount. But you know, sitting
here in Franklin, Tennessee, and watching those missiles one hundred
and eighty one of them raining down, and watching the
Iron Dome and the other systems, and I believe the
very hand of God protecting his land and his people.

(04:41):
And I think that's at the root of this right
in that you have a right to exist. The other
side for all the people to talk about a two
state solution, do not acknowledge that right to exist. You're
under constant attack and you have a right to defeat
enemies and protect and preserve your way of life. Do
you feel like the world in America and this administration

(05:03):
is standing with you, because I can tell you there's
a lot of believers who.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Are definitely seeing those missiles, the most amount of blistic
missiles to ever be launched at one said nation in
the history, and to see them being shot down by
the Iron Dome and landing in open areas in the
sand and the ocean in between houses. The Guardian of

(05:25):
Visuel neither slumbers nor sleeps, that's for sure. And what
we feel is what the Fellowship represents. Let me say,
is the silenced majority exactly what you're saying, my children,
it's a ready protocol for them in and go into
the shelter. It's a ready protocol for them wherever they go,
whether it's to the mall or a friend's house or

(05:47):
a nail salon, to always know where the closest bomb
shelter is because you have between thirty and ninety seconds
to find safety there, and if not, then you are
at risk of the rocket God forbid hitting you. That's
our reality. And when they turn on Instagram and Facebook
and even mainstream media, what they see is that the
whole world is against Israel. They're burning Israeli flags, they're

(06:08):
calling Israel to be destroyed. But what the Fellowship represents
is the silenced majority, the faithful Christians, and there are
a lot of them, seven hundred million around the world,
one hundred million in America alone, who are praying for Israel,
who are standing with Israel, and who understand this is
a very clear war between good and evil, and the

(06:30):
same forces that are threatening Israel are the same forces
that are threatening America.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Often, I often remind them of what the enemy says,
first come Saturday, then comes Sunday. First, The intolerance of
the existence of Israel, the destruction of Israel, the killing
of all the Jews, and then right after that and
if they succeed, and they will not, But if they succeed,
then come Sunday, the extermination and the destruction of America

(06:57):
and the killing of all Christians. But I want to
even go before that and say, spiritually, if you are
a Christian, you have no life outside of Christ. Your
life becomes Christ's life. Therefore you have an instant past
with Israel, present with you Israel, and a future with Israel.
This needs to be taught within the Christendom and the Church,

(07:20):
and I believe it is in many places, but not
as many as it needs to be taught. When we
go to Genesis and we hear I will bless those
who bless her, and I will curse those who curse her.
Let me ask you, what are the ways believers listening
in America to you today can bless Israel. I would
think prayer, money, support, But what are some of the

(07:43):
ways we can bless Israel and thus bless ourselves.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Well, I just want to say thank you to start with,
because Tisheri speaks so bravely, so unapologetically, as a Christian
who believes in Israel's right to exist and recognizes what
it says in the scripture is to pray for the
peace of Jerusalem, that Christians are grafted on to the rich,
olive tree of Israel, that the roots of the Christian

(08:09):
faith are in Israel, that Israel is your spiritual homeland,
and we're in this boat together, something that unfortunately, so
many Christians are scared to say or even turning their
backs on Israel. So just to hear you say that
so faithfully, something that gives me chills as a Jewish
woman who recognizes we are in this together. It's something

(08:31):
that is moving, emotional and not a given unfortunately. And
I think what Christians can do to stand with Israel
is first and foremost to realize this is a battle,
that there are so many evil forces trying to change
your heart, trying to change your spirit. So continue to
be strong in your faith, continue to be strong in
your prayer. And then the next part is letting the

(08:53):
people of Israel know about that voice and those prayers.
And that's what we do at the Fellowship, through distributing
food boxes and placing bomb shelters. Everything we do, we
look in the scriptures and God says, feed the hungry,
clothes the naked, shelter the poor, be the watchmen on
the walls, and so everything. We do what we've been
doing for forty years, but that we've been doing in

(09:13):
a huge way on the ground under rocket attacks, missile attacks,
wherever it is in Israel since October seventh is we
go bomb shelter to bomb shelter with food boxes, We
go school to school with shelters, and we say this
is from Christians who stand with you, who love you,
and who will never abandon me.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Powerful. Now you're giving me chills. Yeah, Lextein is joining
us CEO of the International Fellowship for Christians and Jews.
I'm struggling to say, in essence, you've become physically on
the ground in Israel, the Red Cross of Israel. Although
I'm a much bigger fan of the International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews that I am the Red Cross. But

(09:51):
I think that's a part of this alliance that people
don't realize how it practically plays out on the ground,
especially on weeks like this.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
US.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yes, yes, yes, we don't have bureaucracy. We don't wait
for anyone to tell us where to go. We don't
have roundtable discussions to discuss what our strategy is. We
see you need and we go out on the ground
in the moment to meet that need. Period there's someone
who's hungry, we bring them food. We have a soup
kitchen and kiryat Shmona, that's a small town on the

(10:25):
border with Lebanon, just a mile away from our Chasbala
terras are. That city has been bombarded with rockets, sometimes
hundreds of rockets a day and suicide drones. Our soup
kitchen had a direct rocket hit. I was up there,
I was on the roof. I saw the hole in
the soup kitchen's roof and the destruction that that rocket,

(10:46):
that terror launched rocket cause trying to put out our
light and stop us from producing food. But within twenty
four hours we made sure that we had hundreds of
meals that were going out from the soup kitchen to
the people who were relying on us. So I think
you could call it a strategy, but I call it
a calling or calling is to be there for the

(11:08):
people who need us, period, whether they're on the borders
with terrorists, whether they're being bombarded by rocket attacks from Iran,
or Hubala or Hamas or from the Hutis and Yemen.
It doesn't matter. The Fellowship and our workers and our
volunteers are on the ground providing life saving aid without
any its fans or butts.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
I'm not going to tiptoe around it. And that's what
this whole conversation is about. How those listening can bless
and keep and provide and stand with Israel today through
the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. I encourage you
to go to the website. You'll see there are many
ways for your giving to make a difference www IFCJ

(11:49):
dot com to learn more on how you can stand
with the International Fellowship with Christians and Jews.

Speaker 3 (11:55):
This is your morning show with Michael Deltona.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
They're just waking up out. These are your top five
stories of the day. Well, they're all of a sudden,
after all, the fear, fear of fear, fear of fear.
There's this settlement, settlement, settlement. I guess that's good news.
But something's fishy at the port. Mark Mayfield has our
top story.

Speaker 6 (12:16):
Sources say that members of the International Longshoreman's Association and
management groups have reached a tentative deal on wages. The
dock workers will be back on the job at ports
on Friday. According to the reports, The two signs are
agreeing to extend the expired contract until January fifteenth. Fifty
thousand union members working from Maine to Texas walked off
the job early Tuesday morning. The strike had led to

(12:37):
uncertainty about the movement of supplies as the nation heads
into the holiday season.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Sounds like, all right, you got he went from seventy
seven percent salary increase to accepting tentatively sixty two percent
over six years. No mention about automation the biggest sticking
point replacing jobs. Sounds like maybe some party officials got
with fellow cabal members in the union and said, let's
settle this after the election. Hurricane Helen is now the

(13:06):
deadliest storm to hit the mainland of the United States
since Katrina. Lisa Taylor has more from.

Speaker 7 (13:11):
Raleigh Offici'll say at least two hundred and two people
have died due to the storm that slammed the southeast
a week ago, and sixty one people have died in
Bunkhome County alone in North Carolina, where Sam Brock reports.

Speaker 8 (13:21):
There are still dozens of towns that are not accessible
except by plane or either mule in some cases supplies
being taken up that way. And then the infrastructure hit
is enormous. This is one micro example, a huge crater
in the road here.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
It's lining up and.

Speaker 8 (13:35):
Down this main highway, Highway seventy as residents don't know
if it's going to be weeks or months before they
have running water again.

Speaker 7 (13:41):
The death toll will likely continue to go up as
hundreds remain missing. I'my se Taylor.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Well, the times they are changing, Jeffrey brought up earlier
this morning. Isn't it amazing All the rock stars used
to tell us, don't trust the government, don't trust the government. Yeah,
now they want the government to control everything. Well, the
Boss u Springsteen pulled a little ty Taylor swift with

(14:07):
endorsing Kamala Harris on social media.

Speaker 9 (14:10):
I've only got one vote, miss, one of the most
precious possessions.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah, I had.

Speaker 9 (14:14):
That's why come November fifth, I'll be casting my vote
for Conwell.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Harrison Tim Wals. In a video posted on social media,
the Boss or Springsteen, says the President Trump shouldn't be
allowed to take office ever ever again.

Speaker 9 (14:26):
This is disdained for the sanctity of our constitution, the
sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law,
and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should
disqualify him from the office of president.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
I knew there was something about him. I didn't like it.
He's got to be stopped. Country music star Garth Brooks
is accused of sexual assault and battery by a hairstylist
and makeup artist. Brian Shook has.

Speaker 10 (14:50):
Moore that Jane Rowe in the lawsuit, says she worked
for the singer when the alleged incidents happened in twenty nineteen.
She alleges Brooks raped her during a work trip. Brooks
has previously denied her claims. I'm Brian Shook.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Well after hearing that Bruce Springsteen story, you may need
a little belt. A national day for those over twenty one,
pre Tennis says more.

Speaker 11 (15:14):
Today we celebrate the most popular spirit in the world,
selling seven point two billion dollars worth every year. It's
National Vodka Day. Sixty one percent of us drink it,
usually mixed because it is high octane about forty percent alcohol.
That's eighty proof. It's Russia's national drink, once thought to
fight colds, flues, and cancer. The CDC says it doesn't,

(15:36):
but it is locale at ninety calories a shot. I'm
Bree Tennis, she got Shacho for you. Joker FULLI Ado,
I Love when I Talk Friends is nice?

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Uh furia do? Expected to fall short of the first
Joker movie. The sequel, starring Joaheen, Phoenix and Lady Gaga,
expected to make anywhere between fifteen sixty five million dollars
in its debut weekend. For comparison, in twenty nineteen, Joker
made over ninety six million. I don't think that's Joker
to Joker as much as post COVID and let's face it,

(16:09):
all the stars in the good programming are streamed now,
they're not at theaters. A Whitebird We'll also make a
debut this weekend. It follows a school bully whose grandmother
tries to change his life by telling him her story
as a Jewish girl during the Holocaust. The film is
expected to bring in single digits debut. Guys, we don't
like true stories. Hey it's me Michael. You can listen

(16:31):
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 eight Central, and six to
nine Eastern on great radio stations like Talk six fifty
KSTE and Sacramento one oh four nine, The Patriot in
Saint Louis and Impact Radio one oh five nine and
twelve fifty w HDZ in Tampa, Florid. Sure hope you

(16:51):
can join us live and make us a part of
your morning routine. In the meantime, enjoy the podcast. You know,
there's kind of a biased narrative out there, and I
think if you kind of watch mainstream media news, you
get a sense that well, well downplay an invasion that
started it all and killed over a thousand, raped and kidnapped,
including American citizens, well downplay everything they do, and then

(17:16):
every time Israel does something in response, we'll call that
bullying and escalating and come back to a two state
solution that of course, once I doesn't recognize the other's
right to exist, So how can you have a you know,
it's like the coexist bumper sticker. There's one of those symbols.
It doesn't want to coexist with everything else, It wants
to conquer everything else, and rule the world. So you

(17:36):
have these kind of false narratives that are out there.
What really I think is the perspective of the week
is Iran has been using money that it's received because
sanctions have been lifted, a mistake of this administration that's
now talking about sanctions being reimposed. There also sound a

(17:56):
lot of oil to China, who's happy to get it.
Using that money to fund terrorism, so they get people
proxies to do their dirty work for them. And it's
been Hamas they created the invasion Hasbillah that is backed
at the Huthies. What's changed this week was Iran from
Iranian soil fired one hundred and eighty one missiles at Israel.

(18:18):
If Israel is going to respond as it has been,
and I think they've kind of you know, then don't
let anything really get their laser focus off there. They're
about done with Hamas and they're almost about done with Hesbelah.
But maybe over the weekend or maybe later, there's going
to be a retaliation, only this time they're not going
to retaliate against a proxy. They're going to tally retaliate
against Iran because Iran sent one hundred and eighty one

(18:40):
missiles at them. So that's what's different, and that's what's
kind of not different and been going on for centuries.
And we were talking with Yale Exstein of the International
Fellowship of Christians and Jews about just that.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Well, it's really important to look at it through the
eyes of faith and also geopolitics. And from the eyes geopolitics,
we can see that Iran has been holding the entire
world hostage for at least twenty years. There are so
many countries, Muslim countries even in the Middle East, who
want advancemen, who want peace, who want to be doing

(19:15):
good things for their people, freedom, and they have this
noose around their neck of Iranian terror proxies that are
threatening them. Iran is not only threatening America and Israel
the Big Satan and Little Satan as they call it,
but they are stopping the advancement of peace and prosperity
for the entire world. They have strategically set up terror

(19:38):
proxies across the Middle East and across the world in
order to make sure freedom doesn't rain. And so I
think what Israel is doing now is recognizing the world
is not going to take care of this threat. And
the only way that we are going to move forward
into a future of strategic partnerships between even Saudier Arabia

(20:00):
and Israel. That's possible is only if you get rid
of this threat that is holding back the world from
all good things. And so yes, I think Israel got
rid of hamas, we are in the process of getting
rid of husbands. We will do whatever we need to
get rid of the Hutis. And I wouldn't be surprised
if we see the Iranian regime of terror fall very

(20:22):
soon as well.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
This is not escalation. This is necessary for the preservation
of Israel and the protection of its people. It is proportional,
it is right. I would think target you know, targets
like their oil that they've been selling to China and
using that money for terrorism, or perhaps all of the
sanctions that have been lifted to IMpower. They only understand

(20:45):
one thing, and that is force, and I think force
is coming. It has been historic the you know, I
think of the Old Testament scripture, when the enemy comes
in like a flood, God raises the standard against them.
I'm seeing that that I'm seeing for all these political narratives,
Obb's just trying to hang on to power. No a

(21:06):
level of defeat of this enemy for the security of
not just a region, but the world. And the last
two months has been more than I have seen in
the last three decades. There is something so precise and
so impactful and effective about this that it's not only
going to impact our time, but I think for many,

(21:29):
many decades to come. So we pray for wisdom as
Israel prepares to respond. And now we come up on
the one year anniversary of October seventh, where it all began.
Put that into perspective with the events of.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
This week, well, I don't think anyone would have thought
one year ago that we would not only still be
fighting this war and not only still be fighting for
our survival and hiding in bomb shelters, but that even
more fronts would be opened. But I think God is
calling us on this one year anniversary to remember the

(22:05):
evil that really exists in this world. And God has
called us, just like you started off saying in the
beginning of this show, Israel is the center of the world.
Jerusalem is the epicenter, and He's called Jerusalem and Israel
to wipe out this evil and bring light back to
the world. And so within all of the confusion, within

(22:27):
a year of anti Semitism being on the rise like
I've never seen in my lifetime, I think, or you,
I think there's so much light within it as well,
to see how our Christian friends have not turned their
back on us, They have not cowarded to the hatred,
but rather they have stood up stronger, more bold, more brave,

(22:47):
more faithful than ever before, to say we stand with Israel,
we stand with the Jewish people, and we will not
be confused and make that mistake again. And for me,
that is a significant light miss darkness that be cannot
be looked over.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Final moments with the ALX team of the International Fellowship
of Christians and Jews on the one year anniversary of
October seventh and the historic bombing events of this week
and whatever is about to unfold, I always cut to
the chase this way, what do you think America would
do if Iran launched one hundred and eighty one missiles
at us? Get real? And I think, kind of like

(23:22):
we experienced after nine to eleven, you have a choice.
You can either take on a victim mentality or you
can be victors. We pray for the victorious protection of Israel.
We bless you we call God to shine his face
upon you and protect you and enrich you. And I
encourage all my listeners to learn more about this incredible

(23:44):
relationship between Christians and Jews through the International Fellowship of
Christians and Jews and how it makes a measurable difference
in this time and it gives you the ability to
literally in prayer here in America and with your resources,
make a difference on the ground. And I can't encourage
them enough to do that. Tell them where they can
find you on the website and how they can become

(24:06):
partners at all different levels.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
Wow, well, thank you so much for your words, and
I say, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. You can
join our efforts and learn more about our work by
going to our website www dot IFCJ dot org and
you can see how your donations transform in an instant
into life saving food and aid. You follow day to
day activities on my social media pages at l XTEIN,

(24:31):
where I update you a few times a day on
how you have such a huge presence on the ground
in the Holy Land and saving lives.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Thank you so much for your time, me Ellen, We
pray for the continued protection of Israel. And God's people.
And I hope you're not a stranger. You're welcome back anytime.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Oh God bless you. I look forward to drinking coffee
with you in Jerusalem.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
You got it, and be safe and you'll be in
our prayers, I promise.

Speaker 12 (24:56):
Amen.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
You know, the one year anniversary was certainly one of
the big reasons we wanted to visit with the al,
the other being the extraordinary events of this weekend. Proxy
wars turned direct, and I think you can expect a
direct response. Well, we're just waking up forty six minutes
after the hour. Here are your top five stories of

(25:20):
the day. Numeroll No. President Trump busy and focused in
the battleground states. With a little couple of days over
four weeks to go. Mark Mayfield has more.

Speaker 6 (25:31):
Trump spoken around, Like Thursday in Saginaw, Michigan.

Speaker 12 (25:33):
Thirty three days from now, we are going to win
the state of Michigan. We are going to defeat Lion
Kamala Harris, one of the worst candidates.

Speaker 6 (25:49):
The GOP presidential candidate. Reminded supporters that mail in voting
has begun in several states. Trump urged supporters to vote,
saying the results will have to be too big to rig.
He also quit as as the Biden Harris Administration for
open Borders, claiming that immigrants have overrun cities like Springfield,
Ohio and Aurora, Colorado. I'm Mark Neefield.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
You reminder, it is Friday, so in about twenty minutes
Friday with forty five Hurricane Helene is now the deadliest
storm to hit the mainland of the United States since Katrina.
Lisa Taylor has more from Raleigh.

Speaker 7 (26:18):
Officials say at least two hundred and two people have
died due to the storm that slammed the southeast a
week ago, and sixty one people have died in bunkhom
County alone in North Carolina, where Sam Brock reports.

Speaker 8 (26:28):
There are still dozens of towns that are not accessible
except by plane or either mule in some cases supplies
being taken up that way. And then the infrastructure hit
is enormous. This is one micro example, a huge crater
in the road here. It's lining up and down this
main highway Highway seventy as. Residents don't know if it's
going to be weeks or months before they have running
water again.

Speaker 7 (26:48):
The death toll will likely continue to go up as
hundreds remain missing. Only see Taylor.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Country music star Garth Brooks accused of sexual assault and
battery by a hairstylist and makeup artist Brian Shook has more.

Speaker 10 (26:59):
Jane wrote Oh in the lawsuit, says she worked for
the singer when the alleged incidents happened in twenty nineteen.
She alleges Brooks raped her once during a work trip.
Brooks has previously denied her claims. I'm Brian Shook.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Texas is suing TikTok over the handling of children's data.
Tammy Trihilo has all the details.

Speaker 13 (27:20):
On Thursday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit
saying TikTok violated the state's parental consent laws. He claims
TikTok failed to comply with Texas Scope Act, which requires
social media companies to take steps to protect kids online
and prohibits them from selling any child's personal data without
parental permission. The lawsuit seeks civil penalties of up to

(27:41):
ten thousand dollars per violation. I'm Tammy Trihello.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
NFL Weekend kicked off last night Thursday Night Football. Two
teams that looked really good to me. But in the
end Atlanta wins in overtime over Tampa thirty six to thirty.
Big matchups of Your morning show. City's got the Browns
and the Commanders this weekend Cardinals in forty Niners. Giants
have the Seahawks, the Pack have the Rams, and the
Cowboys and the Steelers will be Sunday night. You do

(28:05):
have college football tonight, the Qus, the Orange versus UNLV
and Michigan State versus number six in the country, Oregon.

Speaker 13 (28:16):
Right, mister Jimmy Bourne, My morning show, it's your morning Show.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
It's Michael Joe, John O.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Welcome to the Your Morning Show kitchen table. Fifty three
minutes after the hour, seven minutes to be to work
on time on the East Coast on the Aaron streaming
live on your iHeartRadio app on Michael del Journal along
with Jeffrey Lion at the controls and listen. We don't
just get you up and informed and connect dots for you.
We do with some really smart people. There's none smarter
than John Decker. He is a Supreme Court bar attorney.

(28:43):
He is a White House correspondent and one of my
favorite Your Morning Show correspondents. All right, John, you always
usually set me straight. I'm looking for an October surprise,
and it sure looks like a port strike that is
going to drive us into economic havoc. Blah blah blah.
And then suddenly the whole things settled, and I've got
all this toilet paper and I don't know what to
do with it. So what happened to our because something

(29:05):
smells fishy at the port, Like maybe party officials got
together with the union and said, hey, can we deal
with this after the election. The President Joe Biden wouldn't
do it.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
It certainly got resolved quickly, and that was an October surprise,
so to speak.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
But resolved.

Speaker 5 (29:20):
And that's something that the incumbent administration does not need
to worry about. But there are other things that I
think concern them, including things that are completely out of
their control, including what's happening in the Middle East. It's
really up to Israel and you're on in terms of
whether that situation escalates itself to a region wide war.

(29:42):
So that is one of those types of situations certainly
that probably keeps the Harris campaign up at night, all right.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
So Number one, you smell or you smell something fishy
too with this all right, So Joe Biden could have
done the taft heartly. He could have kicked it till
after the election, easily chose not to. Now was that
being pro union Joe or spiteful Joe? You threw me
out of this race to give it to Kamala. Let
her deal with it. And maybe the party responded to

(30:10):
Joe's unwillingness and crafted a deal because they were going
to get They were wanting seventy seven percent pay increase.
They ended up taking sixty two percent over six years.
Automation hasn't even been addressed. It's all tentative until around
the first of the year. So it does stink to
high heaven of a political involvement. But let me ask
you this. I said a long time ago, there's an

(30:30):
eye problem, an Israel problem for this administration. Is there
an Israel problem for Kamala Harris too?

Speaker 5 (30:36):
Well, it depends. I mean, as things stand today, and
that doesn't mean it's going to be like this by
next week. As things stand today, I don't think that
this is as big a problem as it could have
been had Joe Biden remained in the race. I think
that this situation has I think calmed down to the
degree that it's not going to be a negative for

(30:59):
Kamala Harrison campaigns in places like Michigan with a large
Arab American population. So look, I think that that was
a huge concern for Joe Biden when he was at
the top of the ticket. In fact, when he was
at the top of the ticket as the presumptive Democratic nominee,
Democrats were really looking at the possibility, the probability of

(31:21):
losing Michigan to Donald Trump in the November election. And
now they feel much better about their chances.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Although there are some strange voting blocks that they're struggling with.
In Michigan, they only have fifty two percent support among
Black Muslims. There's some youth numbers that are looking very troubling. Remember,
at the end of the day, the Democrats, if everybody
gets out and votes equal, they win. There's more of them,
and they do very well at campusing votes on campuses,

(31:47):
and campuses don't seem to be rolling that way. What
I love talking to you is because every now and then,
for our new listeners in San Francisco, there's this admiration
I have for John and then I go too far
and he yells at me, But it could happen right here.
I'm suggesting that the October surprise isn't the Port. It
isn't Israel. It's reality that they've hidden from themselves, because

(32:10):
when you go inside these polling numbers, Wisconsin doesn't look
too safe, Michigan doesn't look too safe. In fact, it
looks a little bit like twenty sixteen. Virginia doesn't look
too safe. Could the October surprise be when they finally
come to grips with what these polls are suggesting?

Speaker 5 (32:24):
Well, then you're asking me to be a fortune teller,
which I have many skills, Michael, and that is not
one of them. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
I'll have to wait. Sat At please give me the
Friday gift of yelling at me. But I don't know.
But one thing for sure is not going to be
the Port. Right, it's not the Port.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
We're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael Hill. Show enough
