Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
on great radio stations across the country like w i
l M and w do O V and Wilmington and Dover,
Delaware or wgst AM seven twenty the Voice in Middle Georgia.
And we're gonna 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.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this stage.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
This is your morning show with Michael Dell Trump. Yeah,
we were all thinking Yankees, Guardians, Phillies, Dodgers. I don't
even care what out of those four their off ring.
I got news for you. The Dogs and Phillies may
not make it. Mets a winner, Padres a winner. They're
(00:54):
both a game away from their ALCS and NLCS Championship serieses.
But all four are in play today. Hurricane Milton. Just
looking at the latest trajectory. Remember the nasty side is
the east side, so really from Naples and Fort Meyer
to Tampa, a pretty severe pounding is coming. Storm Searge.
We're looking at and we'll cover this a little bit
(01:16):
more with Rory. We don't like that trajectory of coming
right up the Tampa Bay with the storm search. We're
going to keep an eye on that. Milton back to
a Category five wins of one hundred and sixty miles
an hour, Hurricane Milton could cause as much as one
hundred and seventy five million dollars in damage, and election
officials now say they are a little worried about Hurricane
Helen's impact on voting in North Carolina, and President Biden
(01:38):
says he's not going to take his trip of Broady
Sting Put to stay home to be able to oversee
Hurricane Milton. Response. Good morning, and welcome to Wednesday, October
the ninth, twenty twenty four on the Aaron streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. I'm
Michael del Jorno, here to serve you. Jeffrey Lions over there,
here to serve all of us, and we're joined by
(01:59):
our senior correspond to, David Sonati from the American Policy
Roundtable and host of the Public Square. And you know,
yesterday was kind of a reminder of why they don't
do a lot of interviews with Kamala Harris, she got
roughed up on sixty Minutes, She had a major gaff
on the View, a pretty non eventful love fest with
Howard Stern, and then with a chance to correct things
(02:20):
on Stephen Colbert, she botches the number one question once again,
and that was, well.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
If anything, would you have done something differently than President
Biden during the past four years?
Speaker 5 (02:35):
There is not a thing that comes to mind in
terms of and I've been a part of most of
the decisions that have had impact.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
All right, David, She continues to surprise me at how
bad she is. I mean, that is a central question
to her campaign. She ought to be able to be
prepared for that and have a doozy of an answer,
and that's the most incriminating thing that could have come
out of her mouth. So we have have seven, almost
seven out of ten Americans think we're heading in the
wrong direction, and she just said, turn the page to
(03:05):
me the same wrong direction.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I mean, come on, yeah, Michael, I don't know what's
going to happen here.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
This is the worst candidate in political history. Can you
think of a worse one?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Well, Gerald Ford wasn't great.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
He wasn't this bad?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Michael Decaccus was was pretty awful.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Again, we have to analyze a candidate in light of
the era that they're in, both in regards to the
media exposure, availability and bias. So basically what we have
is a situation where Oprah Winfrey is running the campaign.
She's out there in Georgia using her assets in her
popularity to try to go ahead and win the state
for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I mean this very Springsteen, as is Julia Louis Dreyfus.
It's a it's a very unusual.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's it's sort of like a student council race now,
and it's a little embarrassing, I think as the world
looks at us. But now, what happened yesterday Michael is
also really bizarre, and this morning's coverage on it is
split in two ways. Yesterday, Tim Walls went out and
started to advocate for a constitutional change to a bolist
(04:16):
electoral college.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, and he's not first on the left.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So here's the vice president who is a self defined
twice self defined knucklehead proposing from the campaign trail a major,
massive constitutional change, which is as bizarre as you can imagine.
In regards to what it would actually mean, and he's
out there doing it as the vice president. He's proposing
(04:44):
major constitutional changes to the country, while Kamala Harris is
talking about.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
What what she was making when Joe called to tell
her he was stepping out of the race, and she
was making more bacon.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Course yesterday was a pot ROAs making him a bacon
as an auntie. Yeah, that was kind of No. This
is Look, we're in a twenty year cycle, David, that
I don't recognize. Twenty year twenty year cycle. I don't
recognize about that. Well, I can tell you that I
when Barack Obama was on the scene, I used to
think I'd give anything for Bill Clinton. I remember when
(05:21):
Bill Clinton was elected. I was actually scared ridiculously, you know.
And then when when Obama was president, I was like,
I give anything to have Bill Clinton again. And then
you know, then once we got to Hillary and Joe,
I was like, I give a thinking for Obama again.
Now we're Pamala and we're having now I mean, we
(05:43):
haven't wins. Is the first term of George W. Bush
the last real trajectory and president we've had, and even
that was with hanging Chads.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Well and and that was intercepted very quickly by nine
to eleven, and so everything as well. So yeah, we're
in a very messed up situation. I think people recognize that.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
What's really weird is that Walls is out there talking
about the electoral college and that it's got to be abolished,
and it's covered on Fox on one side, and then
this morning at the same time, interestingly coincidentally, the Associated
Press runs a major article on how the people in
Illinois feel disenfranchised by the electoral college because they're not
(06:28):
getting enough attention in Illinois because they're solid into candidates
our California. Second, here, you're running a socialist republic in Illinois.
You've cut the state in half. The entire lower half
of the state has no representation in government whatsoever because
it's completely dominated by a single party.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
They are, by the way, because we could do this
for listeners, because I can't trust the people have listened
listened to over the years. If you want to understand
from a constitutional from a constitutional and Founding fathers intent,
why we have an electoral college, not from some crazy
wacky teacher repeating a narrative in an elementary school or
(07:08):
in a university, it's Illinois. If our funding fathers are
alive today, they would probably use it. Illinois is the
example of why.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, well, they'd be saying that Illinois should be two
states to be fair to people because it has the
state's not even represented it at all in their gun.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
They weren't interested in the job rule, they weren't interested
in God.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
The Associated press listening to people saying it's not fair
because the candidates aren't coming and visiting with us.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
They're taking us for granted.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well, how can they not take you for granted?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Look at the map?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, okay, But then if you look at the map
of the United States and you break it up by
county and by congressional district, what you find is, if
you abolish electoral college, basically you have three points where
everyone will be the whole country will be determined in
regards to the federal government by the East coast, the
West coast, and Illinois.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
A handful of states on the East coast, including New York,
California and Washington and Oregon and Illinois.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Everybody else go pound salt. That's it. You're You're you're done.
Get out of here. Yeah, I'm right.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I guess with what I would presume is Texas and
Florida defend it off, you know, and.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
The numbers just aren't they.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Massachusetts, New York, California. It's over.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And so because these people want the popular vote, well
they don't understand that there's only one office in the
United States that everybody gets.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
To vote on.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And in the beginning, it was one office that all
the states got to vote on, because the idea was
if the states don't pick the president, you'll divide the country.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
They forget that, they forget.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
They forget where the United States of America, not the
United people of America, and that the president is the
executive officer for the United States. He's representing the fifty
states for the federal government.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
So they've turned the and this is the directors.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
By the way, this is why I want senators returned
back to the states too. So they still and it's a.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Hard argument not to agree with you on, Michael.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
This is why we've we've seen the major players behind
the progressive regime turn the United States back into a
high school student council race.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Davidson out is joining a CEO of the American Policy Roundtable,
a senior contributor your morning show, Profounding fathers, nobody spent
more time studying them than you. If they were alive today,
What would appall them more? What we've made the presidency
or what we've made the United States Senate? That's a
really good question.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
That is an excellent question.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Would hate in the Club of one hundred as much
as they would hate the president that has become a king?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
They truly would.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
And because it defies the purposes for which it was established,
you know, to come together as an as a national union.
And that's that's actually important. For example, people of North
Carolina are hurt right now. The state of North Carolina
is going to fix their problem because the federal government
is ineffective and not working for them, okay.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And the reason for that is because my orchestra said,
we ran out of money.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Okay, how do you run out of money?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
How do you run out of money?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
In FEMA? Where are your priorities at it?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
We'll get into that in a few more days after
we go through another barrage in Florida. But what you've
got is a situation where you have a country right
now that's being run as a popularity contest, and you're
basically denying the existence of the states. And the states
are absolutely vital for survival, Michael. When we went through
(10:25):
the terrible flood in Nashville back in twenty ten, the
federal government buying large was nowhere to be found.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
The people of.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Middle Tennessee pulled themselves up by the bootsteps. Obama could
have cared less about what was going on in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I will give you an example in real time. I
remember FEMA was walking our hallways just wanting to do
interviews constantly, and just from a and it's a minor
from a talk show host perspective. I'm on the air
live with governors, with House of Representatives, with faith based organization,
the real people on the ground, moving food, moving water,
(11:01):
moving debris. I didn't have time. They were like, it
reminds me of when they were building the taj Mahal
and the king, you know, stumbled on the casket of
his wife. He was so fixated out of the building
he was building, he forgot who he was building it
for a tribute to his wife. He's like, what is this?
Get this out of here. They're like, oh, that was
the Queen sir, you know, but I mean I was like, FEMA,
get out of the way. You're in the They were
in the way. They not only were they not relevant,
(11:23):
they were in the way talking to you. You're not
doing anything. You're walking around my hallway. I'm dealing with
people on the air that are really doing something. Yeah. No,
I remember that vividly. That is not a chief yet.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
No.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
And so what we've got is a situation when they're
talking now about the point is you've got a vice
president who's got no business carrying a major policy initiative
for the presidential ticket.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
That should be Kamala Harris's job. What is Tim Walls
doing out there proposing a constitutional revolution as the as
the candidate for vice president of the United say.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well, he's a knuckle head, and I don't speak knucklehead,
but I would imagine he's seeing pretty consistent three point
leads nationwide in total vote, and then he sees razor
edge like we have for now three election cycles, swing
precincts of swing districts of swing states in three to
five states that are going to decide this election, and
(12:17):
he can't tell, just like you can't tell which way
it's going to fall. But if you could get rid
of the electoral college, he'd be up by three. Feeling
pretty good right now. I guess in knucklehead world, that's
what you're thinking. He's certainly not thinking of our founding
father as our constitutional republic, or the United States of America,
or any states rights or anything else, that's for sure.
But I hope the American people are thinking about it. Well.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I know, we got to watch our time here, But
this is the problem we have on the ballot. It
really is a question of reality. And it's not just
at the presidential level. It's at the congressional level, and
it's at the state and local level. You've got a
group of people that want to pretend that we're in
high school again, and we're not. This is not a
student council election, and the federal government is not a
(12:58):
toy or a plaything for celebrities to utilize every four
years just to have fun and to get their way.
This is about more than your social comfort zone. These
are serious issues, and it's not there's three hundred and
thirty million people out.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Hereah, And it's not even a fight for life, liberty,
a pursuit of happiness, prosperity, national security. It's almost like
a playground fight over competing worldviews that are irrelevant to civics.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, and it's about who the cool kids really are.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I mean, let's just say so, this election comes down
to a blatant popularity contest if the candidates and the
campaigns have their way, and that's that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Rough time on sixty minutes disaster on the View and
then comes back later with Stephen Colbert gets the same
question again. I mean, you have a duo over and
she botches it again. Cool kid. I don't know, man,
this is one of the worst presidential candidates I've ever seen.
And if she's this unprepared and unable to be a candidate,
(14:01):
god help us if she's the president. I mean, I'm
not a fan of any of it. I haven't been
a fan of somebody in twenty years, but this is
a new low. I think I'm trying not to be mean,
but I can't figure this out. I mean, if you
can't add live an answer to the most friendly question
you could get. Meanwhile, Vice President Knucklehead is wanting to
(14:24):
change the Constitution when he can't even figure out he's
friends with a school shooter, or if he was in
Tienaman Square. I mean, David, this is a new low.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Could you imagine if someone had had the courage to say, well,
mister governor, could you explain please the electoral College and
why it exists?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Could you get some history on that? Oh they couldn't.
But I played the clip of seeing because I don't
want people to look. When we started this show, we
wanted to belong to the listeners. I want everybody to
feel welcome, and I'm not gonna take cheap shots, and
I'm gonna do narrative radio and I'm not gonna be
mister reg Republican talk guy and all that. But this
is a new level of bad. This is bad now.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Now that being said, and again, we're not a I
don't pander for an audience because.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I don't do what.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I just don't have to. It's not what we're about here.
We want to be fair. Nobody's super thrilled about the
two choices that we have right now. No, that's true,
to be honest in.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
The heart of hearts. Now, that makes a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Of people uncomfortable because they think if there's a single
word said badly about the Republican nominee that somehow the
world's going to come on glued. He You know, look,
you got to decide what level of honesty you want
to approach this though, some what level of emotion. There
are some people that are extremely emotional, extremely afraid, and
they don't want anybody to think that you should do
anything but vote for their person. Okay, look, we got
(15:40):
to be honest here. This is not an intellectual high
moment for America.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
No, no, I would tell you this. I think Governor
DeSantis and I think JD. Vance are the and I
would throw on Marco Rubio. I can't think of anything
on the Democrat side. I'm not a big fan of Shapiro.
I really don't like Gavin Newsom. He looks the most
presidential of theirs. They've got a very charismatic governor in
Maryland who may may surface and mature into a presidential
(16:06):
candidate in the next four to eight years. But right now,
looking at this landscape, I would say JD. Vance and
Governor DeSantis, that's who America needs. And one is even
on the ballot. Yeah, and this is not a great
day for the American collects. No Vice President knucklehead and
(16:29):
Mamala Macon Bacon Kamala bombing on all of her tours.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Jona.

(16:59):
kitchen table in the morning. So Kenn, have your morning
show without your voice. Use the talkback button on your
iHeart app. You can always email Michael di at iHeartMedia
dot com. It is thirty six minutes after the hour
on the East Coach. You got about twenty four minutes
to be to work. Good morning, I'm Michael Jeffrey, serving
both of us, Rory safely in Miami and all our
eyes are on Hurricane Milton. Back to a Cat five
this morning, Rory, good morning.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Yeah, good morning, and maybe a Cat four when it
makes landfall maybe south of Tampa Bay, closer to Sarasota.
We really need this thing to dip a little bit
further south in order to spare Tampa Bay the worst
of it.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Not that we don't love the people in.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Sarasota, but there's a lot more potential damage that could
be inflicted if this storm surge into Tampa Bay really
tops ten fifteen feet.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Even what are you seeing in terms of trajectory, because
right now anything really from Naples to Tampa seems to
be in play, and Fort Myers to me looks more
like the bullseye at the moment. Are we expecting more
of a shift because that's where the storm surge in
the bay. That's to me the big concern.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Yeah, and you see that type of a bay set
up around Fort Myers as well, put to Gorda in
that same area, Port Charlotte, and then up again Sarasota.
But really it's that Tampa Bay region that we're most
concerned about because it's just a much larger city. Anywhere
in there is expected to get storm surge. The question
is just how much, And some are The topography is
(18:26):
better in some spots than others, and that's what we're
trying to deal with here and hopefully direct this the
right way. Either way, no matter what, the preparations have
to be the same. If you're on some of those
barrier islands, you'd better be often by now, because in
many cases bridges are going to be closed. In parts
of Saint Pete Beach, they flat out turned off the water.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
They in advance.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
They said it's to protect the system and encourage people
to get out.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And hopefully that's what I was going to say. That
area would have been in the mandatory of the mandatory
evacuation goes to about eighteen miles east of Tampa. And
you know, I'm wondering, who. I got a friend, Joe Vig,
who's just on the other side of the mandatory evacuation
by like three miles, and I'm like, how safe does
that feel? By prognostication? But that's about where that is.
(19:13):
And then of course the warnings go from really south
of Naples to north of Tampa.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
But and then a lot of people fight mandatory evacuating.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
The cops you're not going to arrest you and drag
you out.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
They've got other stuff to do right now, so they'll
say something just write your social Security number on your
arm in black in sharpie, so that when we find
your body we can identify you. They tell you stuff
like that to scare them out. But many people don't
move because of pets. I think we talked about this yesterday,
but it's a big boy. Can't evacuates. I've got two huskies.
(19:44):
They won't go into a cage. The only shelter that
takes them, that takes me. The animals have to be
in a cage or I don't have cages. I can't
afford cages, whatever it is. And a lot of people
stay behind because of pets.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, the roy O'Neil covering Hurricane Milton back to being
a Cat five, hopefully back down to a Cat four,
although those outer bands at one hundred and sixty miles
an hour are going to be blanketing Central Florida before
the eye ever comes ashore, so there is going to
be a pounding. But we talked about that cool air
over the central US and that's what made him go
(20:17):
from a Cat five back to a Cat four. How
to gain his strength warm golf waters. Right, Yeah, so
we're seeing competing forces here. You've got the ocean there
in the Gulf. The water is about eighty five eighty
eight degrees right now. It actually cooled down because of
Helene two weeks ago. So what might Milt. No, Seriously,
(20:37):
we talk about how unfair it was Helene than Milton.
What might Milton have become without Helene? That's an interesting angle. Well,
and then would we have responded as well? Would people
have been as scared to move out? You know a
lot of people still don't have power from Helene.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
Or you know, all their belongings are already in the
front yard on the curb to be picked up because
they got flooded out by Helene. So how many people
you know would not have evacuated if not for that
threat or the fact that this thing, this one Milton
had one hundred and eighty mile per hour winds and gusts.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Over two hundred earlier this week. You know that's doing
it too. It was unfortnt Rory's got about as much
stomach for this as I do. So this isn't for
us to just commiserate. It's just to make a statement.
Things took a weird political turn early yesterday, and it's
very disrespectful for those that are still suffering. In eastern Tennessee,
Western Carolina and preparing to suffer in Florida. Kamala tried
(21:33):
to make it all abouts DeSantis was just basically saying
that I'm busy. But what really was interesting about the
whole play was President Biden from the White House saying
he has been in constant contact with Governor DeSantis. He's
the governor preparing for the storm. He's the president who
can help with federal resources. He's even got Biden's personal
(21:53):
phone number. And then he had the endorsement of the
President Biden saying he's doing a great job. I'm not
trying to make talk radio out of this. I'm just
saying the President of the United States and the governor
of Florida, they were on the same page. The others
that keep making this about FEMA and this and that
in politics I'm a little less tolerant of and comfortable with.
(22:17):
But for the sitting president and the sitting governor in
the midst of all that political games, there's leaders doing
leadership work. I thought that was good.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Yep, And that's encouraging because it's grown ups at the
table time. And that's pretty much what we've seen here.
And look Florida. There is no state better at this
than Florida, I don't think, and just because we do
it so often, and that's why, you know, we tend
to be a role model when it comes to emergency
management and credit to Governor DeSantis. But at the same time,
it's a team that's been doing this for decades.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
It works there as well.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
So these governors come in Charlie, Chris, Jeb Bush, like Chiles, they.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Come and go, but the county players they don't.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yes, yeah, yeah, And they come into a well oiled machine.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
This is a once in a century though, so there
is that uncertainty of that that has.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
To play out. Was Andrew once in a century? Was
Ivan once in a cent? I mean, I know, perhaps
the way this specific city being.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Hit one for Tampa, Okay, yeah, for Tampa, especially if
it's a direct hit in the Bay with a storm stright. Yeah.
So time will tell. And the projection is what one
hundred and seventy five billion dollars in damages potentially who knows?
Who knows? Money, money, money, All right, Rory will be
back in the third hour, give us an update. Right now,
Milton is a Category five still on a trajectory between
(23:35):
what are we going to be? Were we saying between
Fort Meyer and Tampa or is it still pretty much
a Tampa direct hit.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Yeah, even Yeah, it's looking more and more like Sarasota
is going to get it. But yeah, I'm still saying
between Tampa Bay and Fort Myers more.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
With Rory coming up next hour, Milton is obviously the
big story of the day. Meanwhile, we're still dealing with Helene.
Lisa Taylor's here from Raleigh on what the governor of
North Carolina has said about Helene being an eye opener.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
So as western North Carolina rebuilds and it will, we
need to make sure we are more resilient. We need
to make sure that we are stronger and that we
are preparing for this kind of weather event.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
Governor Roy Cooper says teams are still conducting search and
rescue in many of the remote areas. He adds his
state has gone from a million to about one hundred
and forty thousand power outages, and people are working to
restore communications and water systems. The death toll in North
Carolina is at at least one hundred and seventeen. In Raleigh,
I'm li se Taylor.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Meanwhile, President Biden has postponed his trip abroad this week.
He will stay home in the White House to oversee
Hurricane Milton response. Mark Mayfield's here to fill us in.
Speaker 10 (24:46):
Biden once sent to leave for Berlin on Thursday and
then head to Angola before returning to the US on
October fifteenth. In a state in White House, Press Secretary
Karine Jean Pierre said the trip is being postponed due
to the projected trajectory and strength of the hurricane, and
is expected to make landfall along Florida's west coast on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Well, I think it's safe to say now you know
why they've been hiding her from interviews. Brian Shook with
Kamala Harris's Rocky Road to the White House.
Speaker 11 (25:11):
Road to the White House twenty twenty four. Vice President
Kamala Harris is taking part in a media blitz. On Tuesday,
she talked with radio star Howard Stern and appeared on
ABC's The View, where she was asked if she would
have done anything different than President Biden did in the
last four years.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
There is don a thing that comes to mind in
terms of and I've been a part of most of
the decisions that have had impact.
Speaker 11 (25:39):
And later that day she appeared on The Late Show
with Stephen Colbert. Harris sat down with sixty Minutes for
an interview that aired Monday night. She's faced criticism from
within her own party for not doing enough interviews in Washington.
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
She had one good moment the convention. Since then, it's
been a rock, he wrote. Supreme Court is considering whether
to uphold Joe Biden's administration's ghost gun ban. Tammy Trejilio
has more.
Speaker 12 (26:07):
Justice has heard arguments in the case Tuesday. Ghost gun
kits currently can be assembled into weapons without being traced
back for serial numbers. The White House wants the kits
to be regulated the same as handguns and other firearms
that pro gun groups say this has more to do
with government overreach.
Speaker 13 (26:23):
The ATF creates a rule that says that they're going
to start regulating them.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
That's an issue because an agency like the ATF don't
have the authority to do this.
Speaker 12 (26:33):
Chief Justice John Roberts questioned the argument that building a
gunkit was similar to working on a car. Meanwhile, Conservative
Justice Samuel Alito appeared to signal skepticism over the ban
by asking if a blank note pad and pen could
be considered a grocery list. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Neighbors of an Afghan refugee living in Oklahoma City were
shocked when he was arrested in charged with planning to
conduct an election day terror attack and support of ISIS.
These neighbors and more tell News for they were surprised
to see authorities swarming their property and the twenty seven
year old now seer Ahmed Talheiti being taken into custody.
(27:08):
It just seem like super out of the ordinary.
Speaker 14 (27:10):
They were just everywhere.
Speaker 15 (27:13):
It was.
Speaker 14 (27:15):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Some of music's biggest names planned to come together in
support of those affected by Hurricane Helene a benefit concert
in Charlotte later this month. Michael Kastner has details.
Speaker 15 (27:31):
The concert for Carolina will see Luke Combs, Eric Church,
James Taylor, and Billy Strings take the stage to raise
funds for the Carolina region. It will take place on
October twenty six at the Bank of America Stadium. More
performers are expected to be added later. Tickets for the
concert go on sale Thursday at ten am Eastern.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
On Ticketmaster.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I'm Michael Cassner. Met's with a big win yesterday seven
to two over the Phillies. They now lead two games
to one. They can close it out and head to
the NLCS with a win. Afternoon at four, Podres hanging
on to win six to five at home over the Dodgers.
They now lead two games to one, and our one
went away from getting to the nl CS as well.
(28:12):
Everybody thought it was a foregone conclusion. Dodgers or Phillies right,
both face elimination. Tigers and Guardians, Yankees and Royals tied
at one game apiece. Also in action today, Birthdays forty nine,
Ers tight end, George Kittle thirty one, Ozzie's Missus Sharon
Osbourne seventy two. I thought that was really him, That
(28:33):
was you Country Stars. Scott Scotty McCrary is thirty one
years old and John Lennon would have been eighty four
years old today. This is Paul David Patterson down in
Toledo District, Belize, and My Morning Shows, your Morning Show
with Michael Bell Jordan. Let me be the first to
say good morning and welcome to One's thee October the ninth,
(28:54):
twenty twenty four, All eyes on Florida and Hurricane Milton
once again a category five one hundred and six mile
an hour wins and barreling towards the Tampa metropolitan aarian
as much as one hundred and seventy five billion dollars
in damage as expected. Biden is canceled as a broad trip.
He will stay at home to manage and oversee the
Milton response, and Supreme Court is considering whether to uphold
(29:17):
the Biden administration. Ghost gun Van, I don't have to
tell you the President Biden is over in front of
the Supreme Court. Let's see if he gets his first win.
I doubt it. Meanwhile, if you want to be on
your morning show and we can't have it without your voice,
email Michael di Atiheartmedia dot com. And then of course
the talkback button on your iHeart app. You'll see a microphone.
(29:39):
Press it you can ask a question, leave a comment,
just like to the yms, your morning show, Sports book
we Go, and our bookies'.
Speaker 13 (29:47):
Odds Morning Presidential odds update. Trump starting to pull away
as you can see from the polls. And by the way,
it's Galaman not well, I know, but I'm on American radio.
What do you want to say a lot instead of salad.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I appreciate that. I'm telling you that guy needs to
be at my house for Sunday sauce. All right. Commonly
goes on her tour Sounds of the Day. First she
starts on the view and has this inexplicable exchange.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Well, if anything, would you have done something differently than
President Biden during the past four years.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
There is not a thing that comes to mind in
terms of and I've been a part of most of
the decisions that have had impact.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Okay, if anything that.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Is breathtaking in and of itself, I mean that is
the most anticipated question. Again, You're in a race where
you had an incumbent president, get all the delegates, you
took them out at the knees, threw them in the
trunk of a vehicle, gave all the delegates to her,
crowned or queen, put on a theatrical show at the convention.
(31:02):
And now you want to walk the fine line of
a hiding her in plain sight and b running her
as an incumbent, but distancing herself from what they've achieved
over the last four years, which has made seven and
ten Americans think we're heading in the wrong direction. If
there's one question Kamala Harris, who has based her entire
(31:22):
candidacy on, it's time to tend the page, has to
get right, is that question that she doesn't. But just
so you know, never mind me. You know me, I'm
a Jesus freaking a conservative. Of course, I'm not gonna
like Kamala Harris. I have nothing in common with her.
I want you to hear the quote again, and then
I want you to see the CNN paddle CNN panel response.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Done something differently than President Biden during the past four years.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
There is done a thing that comes to mind. Sally,
what do you make of that?
Speaker 16 (31:57):
I'm surprised, frankly that she doesn't have a more to
say about this, given that she and her campaign know
that this is one of the main questions that voters
have about her, and one of the main things she's
been trying to establish as part of her candidacy is
the idea that she would represent a break from the
past four years and to not be able to come
up with something to say in that moment. She continues
(32:19):
to not be particularly nimble on her feet in a
lot of them.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That's the kind of. So you got Vice President knucklehead,
and they got not particularly nimble on her. Even CNN
is about not listen. This tells you that those holding
their nose and voting for Kamala out of fear of
the boogeyman Trump are even having a hard time with
this candidate. Of course, the Republicans jumped on it. It's
(32:44):
the only ad they probably need to run between now
an election day? What are independence making of these bad performances?
But what took my breath away? As art? You have
that major gaff and it's already viral online by the
time you get to the late afternoon taping of The
Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Certainly somebody sat her down
(33:05):
and gave her the answer she should have had months ago. Anyway, Right, No.
Speaker 17 (33:09):
Polling shows that a lot of people, especially independent voters,
really want this to be a change election, and that
they tend to break for you. In terms of thinking
about change, you are a member president administration under a
Harris administration, What would the major changes be.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
And translation, please get it right this time? What would
say the same?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Sure?
Speaker 14 (33:34):
Well, I mean I'm obviously not Joe Biden, and so
that would be one change. But also I think it's
important to say with you know, twenty eight days ago,
I'm not Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
So that's the line they go.
Speaker 14 (33:49):
And so when we think about the significance, you know.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Maybe for the left that's important because you know, they
struggle with what this.
Speaker 14 (33:56):
Next generation of leadership looks like. Were I to be
elected president, it is about Frankly, I love the American
people and I believe in our country.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
I love that. Okay with Joe, we know it was dementia.
What's her excuse. We're all in this together.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Joano.
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
on great radio stations across the country like w i
l M and w do O V and Wilmington and Dover,
Delaware or wgst AM seven twenty the Voice in Middle Georgia.
And we're gonna 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.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Well two three, starting your morning off right.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding,
because we're in this stage.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
This is your morning show with Michael Dell Trump. Yeah,
we were all thinking Yankees, Guardians, Phillies, Dodgers. I don't
even care what out of those four their off ring.
I got news for you. The Dogs and Phillies may
not make it. Mets a winner, Padres a winner. They're
(00:54):
both a game away from their ALCS and NLCS Championship serieses.
But all four are in play today. Hurricane Milton. Just
looking at the latest trajectory. Remember the nasty side is
the east side, so really from Naples and Fort Meyer
to Tampa, a pretty severe pounding is coming. Storm Searge.
We're looking at and we'll cover this a little bit
(01:16):
more with Rory. We don't like that trajectory of coming
right up the Tampa Bay with the storm search. We're
going to keep an eye on that. Milton back to
a Category five wins of one hundred and sixty miles
an hour, Hurricane Milton could cause as much as one
hundred and seventy five million dollars in damage, and election
officials now say they are a little worried about Hurricane
Helen's impact on voting in North Carolina, and President Biden
(01:38):
says he's not going to take his trip of Broady
Sting Put to stay home to be able to oversee
Hurricane Milton. Response. Good morning, and welcome to Wednesday, October
the ninth, twenty twenty four on the Aaron streaming live
on your iHeartRadio app. This is your morning show. I'm
Michael del Jorno, here to serve you. Jeffrey Lions over there,
here to serve all of us, and we're joined by
(01:59):
our senior correspond to, David Sonati from the American Policy
Roundtable and host of the Public Square. And you know,
yesterday was kind of a reminder of why they don't
do a lot of interviews with Kamala Harris, she got
roughed up on sixty Minutes, She had a major gaff
on the View, a pretty non eventful love fest with
Howard Stern, and then with a chance to correct things
(02:20):
on Stephen Colbert, she botches the number one question once again,
and that was, well.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
If anything, would you have done something differently than President
Biden during the past four years?
Speaker 5 (02:35):
There is not a thing that comes to mind in
terms of and I've been a part of most of
the decisions that have had impact.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
All right, David, She continues to surprise me at how
bad she is. I mean, that is a central question
to her campaign. She ought to be able to be
prepared for that and have a doozy of an answer,
and that's the most incriminating thing that could have come
out of her mouth. So we have have seven, almost
seven out of ten Americans think we're heading in the
wrong direction, and she just said, turn the page to
(03:05):
me the same wrong direction.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
I mean, come on, yeah, Michael, I don't know what's
going to happen here.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
This is the worst candidate in political history. Can you
think of a worse one?
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Well, Gerald Ford wasn't great.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
He wasn't this bad?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Michael Decaccus was was pretty awful.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Again, we have to analyze a candidate in light of
the era that they're in, both in regards to the
media exposure, availability and bias. So basically what we have
is a situation where Oprah Winfrey is running the campaign.
She's out there in Georgia using her assets in her
popularity to try to go ahead and win the state
for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I mean this very Springsteen, as is Julia Louis Dreyfus.
It's a it's a very unusual.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's it's sort of like a student council race now,
and it's a little embarrassing, I think as the world
looks at us. But now, what happened yesterday Michael is
also really bizarre, and this morning's coverage on it is
split in two ways. Yesterday, Tim Walls went out and
started to advocate for a constitutional change to a bolist
(04:16):
electoral college.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, and he's not first on the left.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
So here's the vice president who is a self defined
twice self defined knucklehead proposing from the campaign trail a major,
massive constitutional change, which is as bizarre as you can imagine.
In regards to what it would actually mean, and he's
out there doing it as the vice president. He's proposing
(04:44):
major constitutional changes to the country, while Kamala Harris is
talking about.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
What what she was making when Joe called to tell
her he was stepping out of the race, and she
was making more bacon.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Course yesterday was a pot ROAs making him a bacon
as an auntie. Yeah, that was kind of No. This
is Look, we're in a twenty year cycle, David, that
I don't recognize. Twenty year twenty year cycle. I don't
recognize about that. Well, I can tell you that I
when Barack Obama was on the scene, I used to
think I'd give anything for Bill Clinton. I remember when
(05:21):
Bill Clinton was elected. I was actually scared ridiculously, you know.
And then when when Obama was president, I was like,
I give anything to have Bill Clinton again. And then
you know, then once we got to Hillary and Joe,
I was like, I give a thinking for Obama again.
Now we're Pamala and we're having now I mean, we
(05:43):
haven't wins. Is the first term of George W. Bush
the last real trajectory and president we've had, and even
that was with hanging Chads.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Well and and that was intercepted very quickly by nine
to eleven, and so everything as well. So yeah, we're
in a very messed up situation. I think people recognize that.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
What's really weird is that Walls is out there talking
about the electoral college and that it's got to be abolished,
and it's covered on Fox on one side, and then
this morning at the same time, interestingly coincidentally, the Associated
Press runs a major article on how the people in
Illinois feel disenfranchised by the electoral college because they're not
(06:28):
getting enough attention in Illinois because they're solid into candidates
our California. Second, here, you're running a socialist republic in Illinois.
You've cut the state in half. The entire lower half
of the state has no representation in government whatsoever because
it's completely dominated by a single party.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
They are, by the way, because we could do this
for listeners, because I can't trust the people have listened
listened to over the years. If you want to understand
from a constitutional from a constitutional and Founding fathers intent,
why we have an electoral college, not from some crazy
wacky teacher repeating a narrative in an elementary school or
(07:08):
in a university, it's Illinois. If our funding fathers are
alive today, they would probably use it. Illinois is the
example of why.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, well, they'd be saying that Illinois should be two
states to be fair to people because it has the
state's not even represented it at all in their gun.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
They weren't interested in the job rule, they weren't interested
in God.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
The Associated press listening to people saying it's not fair
because the candidates aren't coming and visiting with us.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
They're taking us for granted.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well, how can they not take you for granted?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Look at the map?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, okay, But then if you look at the map
of the United States and you break it up by
county and by congressional district, what you find is, if
you abolish electoral college, basically you have three points where
everyone will be the whole country will be determined in
regards to the federal government by the East coast, the
West coast, and Illinois.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
A handful of states on the East coast, including New York,
California and Washington and Oregon and Illinois.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Everybody else go pound salt. That's it. You're You're you're done.
Get out of here. Yeah, I'm right.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I guess with what I would presume is Texas and
Florida defend it off, you know, and.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
The numbers just aren't they.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Massachusetts, New York, California. It's over.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And so because these people want the popular vote, well
they don't understand that there's only one office in the
United States that everybody gets.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
To vote on.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And in the beginning, it was one office that all
the states got to vote on, because the idea was
if the states don't pick the president, you'll divide the country.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
They forget that, they forget.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
They forget where the United States of America, not the
United people of America, and that the president is the
executive officer for the United States. He's representing the fifty
states for the federal government.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
So they've turned the and this is the directors.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
By the way, this is why I want senators returned
back to the states too. So they still and it's a.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Hard argument not to agree with you on, Michael.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
This is why we've we've seen the major players behind
the progressive regime turn the United States back into a
high school student council race.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Davidson out is joining a CEO of the American Policy Roundtable,
a senior contributor your morning show, Profounding fathers, nobody spent
more time studying them than you. If they were alive today,
What would appall them more? What we've made the presidency
or what we've made the United States Senate? That's a
really good question.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
That is an excellent question.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Would hate in the Club of one hundred as much
as they would hate the president that has become a king?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
They truly would.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
And because it defies the purposes for which it was established,
you know, to come together as an as a national union.
And that's that's actually important. For example, people of North
Carolina are hurt right now. The state of North Carolina
is going to fix their problem because the federal government
is ineffective and not working for them, okay.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
And the reason for that is because my orchestra said,
we ran out of money.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Okay, how do you run out of money?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
How do you run out of money?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
In FEMA? Where are your priorities at it?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
We'll get into that in a few more days after
we go through another barrage in Florida. But what you've
got is a situation where you have a country right
now that's being run as a popularity contest, and you're
basically denying the existence of the states. And the states
are absolutely vital for survival, Michael. When we went through
(10:25):
the terrible flood in Nashville back in twenty ten, the
federal government buying large was nowhere to be found.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
The people of.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Middle Tennessee pulled themselves up by the bootsteps. Obama could
have cared less about what was going on in Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I will give you an example in real time. I
remember FEMA was walking our hallways just wanting to do
interviews constantly, and just from a and it's a minor
from a talk show host perspective. I'm on the air
live with governors, with House of Representatives, with faith based organization,
the real people on the ground, moving food, moving water,
(11:01):
moving debris. I didn't have time. They were like, it
reminds me of when they were building the taj Mahal
and the king, you know, stumbled on the casket of
his wife. He was so fixated out of the building
he was building, he forgot who he was building it
for a tribute to his wife. He's like, what is this?
Get this out of here. They're like, oh, that was
the Queen sir, you know, but I mean I was like, FEMA,
get out of the way. You're in the They were
in the way. They not only were they not relevant,
(11:23):
they were in the way talking to you. You're not
doing anything. You're walking around my hallway. I'm dealing with
people on the air that are really doing something. Yeah. No,
I remember that vividly. That is not a chief yet.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
No.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
And so what we've got is a situation when they're
talking now about the point is you've got a vice
president who's got no business carrying a major policy initiative
for the presidential ticket.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
That should be Kamala Harris's job. What is Tim Walls
doing out there proposing a constitutional revolution as the as
the candidate for vice president of the United say.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well, he's a knuckle head, and I don't speak knucklehead,
but I would imagine he's seeing pretty consistent three point
leads nationwide in total vote, and then he sees razor
edge like we have for now three election cycles, swing
precincts of swing districts of swing states in three to
five states that are going to decide this election, and
(12:17):
he can't tell, just like you can't tell which way
it's going to fall. But if you could get rid
of the electoral college, he'd be up by three. Feeling
pretty good right now. I guess in knucklehead world, that's
what you're thinking. He's certainly not thinking of our founding
father as our constitutional republic, or the United States of America,
or any states rights or anything else, that's for sure.
But I hope the American people are thinking about it. Well.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I know, we got to watch our time here, But
this is the problem we have on the ballot. It
really is a question of reality. And it's not just
at the presidential level. It's at the congressional level, and
it's at the state and local level. You've got a
group of people that want to pretend that we're in
high school again, and we're not. This is not a
student council election, and the federal government is not a
(12:58):
toy or a plaything for celebrities to utilize every four
years just to have fun and to get their way.
This is about more than your social comfort zone. These
are serious issues, and it's not there's three hundred and
thirty million people out.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Hereah, And it's not even a fight for life, liberty,
a pursuit of happiness, prosperity, national security. It's almost like
a playground fight over competing worldviews that are irrelevant to civics.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, and it's about who the cool kids really are.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I mean, let's just say so, this election comes down
to a blatant popularity contest if the candidates and the
campaigns have their way, and that's that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Rough time on sixty minutes disaster on the View and
then comes back later with Stephen Colbert gets the same
question again. I mean, you have a duo over and
she botches it again. Cool kid. I don't know, man,
this is one of the worst presidential candidates I've ever seen.
And if she's this unprepared and unable to be a candidate,
(14:01):
god help us if she's the president. I mean, I'm
not a fan of any of it. I haven't been
a fan of somebody in twenty years, but this is
a new low. I think I'm trying not to be mean,
but I can't figure this out. I mean, if you
can't add live an answer to the most friendly question
you could get. Meanwhile, Vice President Knucklehead is wanting to
(14:24):
change the Constitution when he can't even figure out he's
friends with a school shooter, or if he was in
Tienaman Square. I mean, David, this is a new low.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Could you imagine if someone had had the courage to say, well,
mister governor, could you explain please the electoral College and
why it exists?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Could you get some history on that? Oh they couldn't.
But I played the clip of seeing because I don't
want people to look. When we started this show, we
wanted to belong to the listeners. I want everybody to
feel welcome, and I'm not gonna take cheap shots, and
I'm gonna do narrative radio and I'm not gonna be
mister reg Republican talk guy and all that. But this
is a new level of bad. This is bad now.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Now that being said, and again, we're not a I
don't pander for an audience because.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I don't do what.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I just don't have to. It's not what we're about here.
We want to be fair. Nobody's super thrilled about the
two choices that we have right now. No, that's true,
to be honest in.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
The heart of hearts. Now, that makes a lot.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Of people uncomfortable because they think if there's a single
word said badly about the Republican nominee that somehow the
world's going to come on glued. He You know, look,
you got to decide what level of honesty you want
to approach this though, some what level of emotion. There
are some people that are extremely emotional, extremely afraid, and
they don't want anybody to think that you should do
anything but vote for their person. Okay, look, we got
(15:40):
to be honest here. This is not an intellectual high
moment for America.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
No, no, I would tell you this. I think Governor
DeSantis and I think JD. Vance are the and I
would throw on Marco Rubio. I can't think of anything
on the Democrat side. I'm not a big fan of Shapiro.
I really don't like Gavin Newsom. He looks the most
presidential of theirs. They've got a very charismatic governor in
Maryland who may may surface and mature into a presidential
(16:06):
candidate in the next four to eight years. But right now,
looking at this landscape, I would say JD. Vance and
Governor DeSantis, that's who America needs. And one is even
on the ballot. Yeah, and this is not a great
day for the American collects. No Vice President knucklehead and
(16:29):
Mamala Macon Bacon Kamala bombing on all of her tours.
Speaker 3 (16:34):

Press it you'll get a countdown three, two one. You

the things we're talking about. You could even record your
I'm Rory O'Neil in Orlando, Florida, and my morning show
is your morning show with Michael del jorno. And that's
your way of introducing yourself to the rest at our
(16:59):
kitchen table in the morning. So Kenn, have your morning
show without your voice. Use the talkback button on your
iHeart app. You can always email Michael di at iHeartMedia
dot com. It is thirty six minutes after the hour
on the East Coach. You got about twenty four minutes
to be to work. Good morning, I'm Michael Jeffrey, serving
both of us, Rory safely in Miami and all our
eyes are on Hurricane Milton. Back to a Cat five
this morning, Rory, good morning.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Yeah, good morning, and maybe a Cat four when it
makes landfall maybe south of Tampa Bay, closer to Sarasota.
We really need this thing to dip a little bit
further south in order to spare Tampa Bay the worst
of it.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Not that we don't love the people in.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
Sarasota, but there's a lot more potential damage that could
be inflicted if this storm surge into Tampa Bay really
tops ten fifteen feet.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Even what are you seeing in terms of trajectory, because
right now anything really from Naples to Tampa seems to
be in play, and Fort Myers to me looks more
like the bullseye at the moment. Are we expecting more
of a shift because that's where the storm surge in
the bay. That's to me the big concern.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Yeah, and you see that type of a bay set
up around Fort Myers as well, put to Gorda in
that same area, Port Charlotte, and then up again Sarasota.
But really it's that Tampa Bay region that we're most
concerned about because it's just a much larger city. Anywhere
in there is expected to get storm surge. The question
is just how much, And some are The topography is
(18:26):
better in some spots than others, and that's what we're
trying to deal with here and hopefully direct this the
right way. Either way, no matter what, the preparations have
to be the same. If you're on some of those
barrier islands, you'd better be often by now, because in
many cases bridges are going to be closed. In parts
of Saint Pete Beach, they flat out turned off the water.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
They in advance.
Speaker 7 (18:46):
They said it's to protect the system and encourage people
to get out.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
And hopefully that's what I was going to say. That
area would have been in the mandatory of the mandatory
evacuation goes to about eighteen miles east of Tampa. And
you know, I'm wondering, who. I got a friend, Joe Vig,
who's just on the other side of the mandatory evacuation
by like three miles, and I'm like, how safe does
that feel? By prognostication? But that's about where that is.
(19:13):
And then of course the warnings go from really south
of Naples to north of Tampa.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
But and then a lot of people fight mandatory evacuating.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
The cops you're not going to arrest you and drag
you out.
Speaker 7 (19:23):
They've got other stuff to do right now, so they'll
say something just write your social Security number on your
arm in black in sharpie, so that when we find
your body we can identify you. They tell you stuff
like that to scare them out. But many people don't
move because of pets. I think we talked about this yesterday,
but it's a big boy. Can't evacuates. I've got two huskies.
(19:44):
They won't go into a cage. The only shelter that
takes them, that takes me. The animals have to be
in a cage or I don't have cages. I can't
afford cages, whatever it is. And a lot of people
stay behind because of pets.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, the roy O'Neil covering Hurricane Milton back to being
a Cat five, hopefully back down to a Cat four,
although those outer bands at one hundred and sixty miles
an hour are going to be blanketing Central Florida before
the eye ever comes ashore, so there is going to
be a pounding. But we talked about that cool air
over the central US and that's what made him go
(20:17):
from a Cat five back to a Cat four. How
to gain his strength warm golf waters. Right, Yeah, so
we're seeing competing forces here. You've got the ocean there
in the Gulf. The water is about eighty five eighty
eight degrees right now. It actually cooled down because of
Helene two weeks ago. So what might Milt. No, Seriously,
(20:37):
we talk about how unfair it was Helene than Milton.
What might Milton have become without Helene? That's an interesting angle. Well,
and then would we have responded as well? Would people
have been as scared to move out? You know a
lot of people still don't have power from Helene.
Speaker 7 (20:52):
Or you know, all their belongings are already in the
front yard on the curb to be picked up because
they got flooded out by Helene. So how many people
you know would not have evacuated if not for that
threat or the fact that this thing, this one Milton
had one hundred and eighty mile per hour winds and gusts.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Over two hundred earlier this week. You know that's doing
it too. It was unfortnt Rory's got about as much
stomach for this as I do. So this isn't for
us to just commiserate. It's just to make a statement.
Things took a weird political turn early yesterday, and it's
very disrespectful for those that are still suffering. In eastern Tennessee,
Western Carolina and preparing to suffer in Florida. Kamala tried
(21:33):
to make it all abouts DeSantis was just basically saying
that I'm busy. But what really was interesting about the
whole play was President Biden from the White House saying
he has been in constant contact with Governor DeSantis. He's
the governor preparing for the storm. He's the president who
can help with federal resources. He's even got Biden's personal
(21:53):
phone number. And then he had the endorsement of the
President Biden saying he's doing a great job. I'm not
trying to make talk radio out of this. I'm just
saying the President of the United States and the governor
of Florida, they were on the same page. The others
that keep making this about FEMA and this and that
in politics I'm a little less tolerant of and comfortable with.
(22:17):
But for the sitting president and the sitting governor in
the midst of all that political games, there's leaders doing
leadership work. I thought that was good.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Yep, And that's encouraging because it's grown ups at the
table time. And that's pretty much what we've seen here.
And look Florida. There is no state better at this
than Florida, I don't think, and just because we do
it so often, and that's why, you know, we tend
to be a role model when it comes to emergency
management and credit to Governor DeSantis. But at the same time,
it's a team that's been doing this for decades.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
It works there as well.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
So these governors come in Charlie, Chris, Jeb Bush, like Chiles, they.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Come and go, but the county players they don't.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Yes, yeah, yeah, And they come into a well oiled machine.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
This is a once in a century though, so there
is that uncertainty of that that has.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
To play out. Was Andrew once in a century? Was
Ivan once in a cent? I mean, I know, perhaps
the way this specific city being.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Hit one for Tampa, Okay, yeah, for Tampa, especially if
it's a direct hit in the Bay with a storm stright. Yeah.
So time will tell. And the projection is what one
hundred and seventy five billion dollars in damages potentially who knows?
Who knows? Money, money, money, All right, Rory will be
back in the third hour, give us an update. Right now,
Milton is a Category five still on a trajectory between
(23:35):
what are we going to be? Were we saying between
Fort Meyer and Tampa or is it still pretty much
a Tampa direct hit.
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Yeah, even Yeah, it's looking more and more like Sarasota
is going to get it. But yeah, I'm still saying
between Tampa Bay and Fort Myers more.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
With Rory coming up next hour, Milton is obviously the
big story of the day. Meanwhile, we're still dealing with Helene.
Lisa Taylor's here from Raleigh on what the governor of
North Carolina has said about Helene being an eye opener.
Speaker 8 (24:05):
So as western North Carolina rebuilds and it will, we
need to make sure we are more resilient. We need
to make sure that we are stronger and that we
are preparing for this kind of weather event.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
Governor Roy Cooper says teams are still conducting search and
rescue in many of the remote areas. He adds his
state has gone from a million to about one hundred
and forty thousand power outages, and people are working to
restore communications and water systems. The death toll in North
Carolina is at at least one hundred and seventeen. In Raleigh,
I'm li se Taylor.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Meanwhile, President Biden has postponed his trip abroad this week.
He will stay home in the White House to oversee
Hurricane Milton response. Mark Mayfield's here to fill us in.
Speaker 10 (24:46):
Biden once sent to leave for Berlin on Thursday and
then head to Angola before returning to the US on
October fifteenth. In a state in White House, Press Secretary
Karine Jean Pierre said the trip is being postponed due
to the projected trajectory and strength of the hurricane, and
is expected to make landfall along Florida's west coast on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Well, I think it's safe to say now you know
why they've been hiding her from interviews. Brian Shook with
Kamala Harris's Rocky Road to the White House.
Speaker 11 (25:11):
Road to the White House twenty twenty four. Vice President
Kamala Harris is taking part in a media blitz. On Tuesday,
she talked with radio star Howard Stern and appeared on
ABC's The View, where she was asked if she would
have done anything different than President Biden did in the
last four years.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
There is don a thing that comes to mind in
terms of and I've been a part of most of
the decisions that have had impact.
Speaker 11 (25:39):
And later that day she appeared on The Late Show
with Stephen Colbert. Harris sat down with sixty Minutes for
an interview that aired Monday night. She's faced criticism from
within her own party for not doing enough interviews in Washington.
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
She had one good moment the convention. Since then, it's
been a rock, he wrote. Supreme Court is considering whether
to uphold Joe Biden's administration's ghost gun ban. Tammy Trejilio
has more.
Speaker 12 (26:07):
Justice has heard arguments in the case Tuesday. Ghost gun
kits currently can be assembled into weapons without being traced
back for serial numbers. The White House wants the kits
to be regulated the same as handguns and other firearms
that pro gun groups say this has more to do
with government overreach.
Speaker 13 (26:23):
The ATF creates a rule that says that they're going
to start regulating them.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
That's an issue because an agency like the ATF don't
have the authority to do this.
Speaker 12 (26:33):
Chief Justice John Roberts questioned the argument that building a
gunkit was similar to working on a car. Meanwhile, Conservative
Justice Samuel Alito appeared to signal skepticism over the ban
by asking if a blank note pad and pen could
be considered a grocery list. I'm Tammy Trihio.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Neighbors of an Afghan refugee living in Oklahoma City were
shocked when he was arrested in charged with planning to
conduct an election day terror attack and support of ISIS.
These neighbors and more tell News for they were surprised
to see authorities swarming their property and the twenty seven
year old now seer Ahmed Talheiti being taken into custody.
(27:08):
It just seem like super out of the ordinary.
Speaker 14 (27:10):
They were just everywhere.
Speaker 15 (27:13):
It was.
Speaker 14 (27:15):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Some of music's biggest names planned to come together in
support of those affected by Hurricane Helene a benefit concert
in Charlotte later this month. Michael Kastner has details.
Speaker 15 (27:31):
The concert for Carolina will see Luke Combs, Eric Church,
James Taylor, and Billy Strings take the stage to raise
funds for the Carolina region. It will take place on
October twenty six at the Bank of America Stadium. More
performers are expected to be added later. Tickets for the
concert go on sale Thursday at ten am Eastern.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
On Ticketmaster.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
I'm Michael Cassner. Met's with a big win yesterday seven
to two over the Phillies. They now lead two games
to one. They can close it out and head to
the NLCS with a win. Afternoon at four, Podres hanging
on to win six to five at home over the Dodgers.
They now lead two games to one, and our one
went away from getting to the nl CS as well.
(28:12):
Everybody thought it was a foregone conclusion. Dodgers or Phillies right,
both face elimination. Tigers and Guardians, Yankees and Royals tied
at one game apiece. Also in action today, Birthdays forty nine,
Ers tight end, George Kittle thirty one, Ozzie's Missus Sharon
Osbourne seventy two. I thought that was really him, That
(28:33):
was you Country Stars. Scott Scotty McCrary is thirty one
years old and John Lennon would have been eighty four
years old today. This is Paul David Patterson down in
Toledo District, Belize, and My Morning Shows, your Morning Show
with Michael Bell Jordan. Let me be the first to
say good morning and welcome to One's thee October the ninth,
(28:54):
twenty twenty four, All eyes on Florida and Hurricane Milton
once again a category five one hundred and six mile
an hour wins and barreling towards the Tampa metropolitan aarian
as much as one hundred and seventy five billion dollars
in damage as expected. Biden is canceled as a broad trip.
He will stay at home to manage and oversee the
Milton response, and Supreme Court is considering whether to uphold
(29:17):
the Biden administration. Ghost gun Van, I don't have to
tell you the President Biden is over in front of
the Supreme Court. Let's see if he gets his first win.
I doubt it. Meanwhile, if you want to be on

Speaker 13 (29:47):
Odds Morning Presidential odds update. Trump starting to pull away
as you can see from the polls. And by the way,
it's Galaman not well, I know, but I'm on American radio.
What do you want to say a lot instead of salad.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I appreciate that. I'm telling you that guy needs to
be at my house for Sunday sauce. All right. Commonly
goes on her tour Sounds of the Day. First she
starts on the view and has this inexplicable exchange.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
Well, if anything, would you have done something differently than
President Biden during the past four years.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
There is not a thing that comes to mind in
terms of and I've been a part of most of
the decisions that have had impact.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Okay, if anything that.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Is breathtaking in and of itself, I mean that is
the most anticipated question. Again, You're in a race where
you had an incumbent president, get all the delegates, you
took them out at the knees, threw them in the
trunk of a vehicle, gave all the delegates to her,
crowned or queen, put on a theatrical show at the convention.
(31:02):
And now you want to walk the fine line of
a hiding her in plain sight and b running her
as an incumbent, but distancing herself from what they've achieved
over the last four years, which has made seven and
ten Americans think we're heading in the wrong direction. If
there's one question Kamala Harris, who has based her entire
(31:22):
candidacy on, it's time to tend the page, has to
get right, is that question that she doesn't. But just
so you know, never mind me. You know me, I'm
a Jesus freaking a conservative. Of course, I'm not gonna
like Kamala Harris. I have nothing in common with her.
I want you to hear the quote again, and then
I want you to see the CNN paddle CNN panel response.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
Done something differently than President Biden during the past four years.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
There is done a thing that comes to mind. Sally,
what do you make of that?
Speaker 16 (31:57):
I'm surprised, frankly that she doesn't have a more to
say about this, given that she and her campaign know
that this is one of the main questions that voters
have about her, and one of the main things she's
been trying to establish as part of her candidacy is
the idea that she would represent a break from the
past four years and to not be able to come
up with something to say in that moment. She continues
(32:19):
to not be particularly nimble on her feet in a
lot of them.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That's the kind of. So you got Vice President knucklehead,
and they got not particularly nimble on her. Even CNN
is about not listen. This tells you that those holding
their nose and voting for Kamala out of fear of
the boogeyman Trump are even having a hard time with
this candidate. Of course, the Republicans jumped on it. It's
(32:44):
the only ad they probably need to run between now
an election day? What are independence making of these bad performances?
But what took my breath away? As art? You have
that major gaff and it's already viral online by the
time you get to the late afternoon taping of The
Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Certainly somebody sat her down
(33:05):
and gave her the answer she should have had months ago. Anyway, Right, No.
Speaker 17 (33:09):
Polling shows that a lot of people, especially independent voters,
really want this to be a change election, and that
they tend to break for you. In terms of thinking
about change, you are a member president administration under a
Harris administration, What would the major changes be.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
And translation, please get it right this time? What would
say the same?
Speaker 3 (33:34):
Sure?
Speaker 14 (33:34):
Well, I mean I'm obviously not Joe Biden, and so
that would be one change. But also I think it's
important to say with you know, twenty eight days ago,
I'm not Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
So that's the line they go.
Speaker 14 (33:49):
And so when we think about the significance, you know.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Maybe for the left that's important because you know, they
struggle with what this.
Speaker 14 (33:56):
Next generation of leadership looks like. Were I to be
elected president, it is about Frankly, I love the American
people and I believe in our country.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
I love that. Okay with Joe, we know it was dementia.
What's her excuse. We're all in this together.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Joano.
