John Tester has been running on a haircut for almost
twenty years. Every time he goes campaigning, Tester loves to
remind us he looks like Montana. But there is a
big difference between looking like Montana and representing Montana values.
Take a legal immigration. Tester voted for amnesty for eleven
million illegal immigrants. Then he doubled down, voting to allow

(01:23):
five hundred million of your tax dollars to be spent
on cash payments to illegal immigrants. Illegals get your cash,
while Tester's votes cost you more. Tester voted for higher
taxes on Social Security benefits for our seniors, and he
backed legislation that could raise Medicare prescription drug premiums fifty percent.
John Tester, Sure, he's got a Montana haircut, all right,

(01:46):

us for the podcast.

Speaker 6 (02:23):
Two three, starting your morning off right.

Speaker 7 (02:27):
A new way of talk, a new way of understanding
because we're in this together.

Speaker 4 (02:34):
This is your morning show with Michael del Jordan.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Thank you, Mike mccambe.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
Seven minutes after the hour, Welcome to Tuesday, October the
twenty second.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
You have aut owe in twenty twenty four on the.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Air's Dreaming Live on your iHeartRadio app. This is your
morning show. I'm Michael del Jorner. The election is two
weeks away. Both candidates are hitting swing states. Donald Trump's
in North Carolina perusing the entire Midwestern Pennsylvania will be
Kamala Harris. Liam Payne of One Direction reportedly had multiple
drugs in his body at the time of his death

(03:05):
in Argentina, and disgraced mogul Harvey Weinstein diagnosed with bone
marrow cancer and the Ravens and the Cardinals were two
winners on a Monday night football doubleheader. I thought one
of the bigger stories of the last week that has
gone somewhat unnoticed, albeit and the Pentagon looking into a
leak of intelligence information related to an upcoming Israeli attack

(03:28):
on Iran.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I remember when the leak came out and I was like,
wait a minute.

Speaker 5 (03:32):
Why are we telling the world that Israel plans to
target Iranian troops rather than oil or nuclear centrifuge facilities.
Why would we leak such a thing. It was America's
responsibility to keep the information safe, and they didn't. And
what kind of an impact is that going to have

(03:54):
on the ongoing damage to US Israeli relations. One of
the brightest mility starting foreign policy minds in America today
is Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano when he joins US what
do you make of this administrative blunder so Well, first.

Speaker 7 (04:10):
Of all, there's two logical explanations for this. One is
it was a deliberate leak by the administration to try
to somehow sustain their engagement with Iran and position themselves
as somehow some kind of mediator to negotiate ceasefire, which

(04:35):
you know, we could debate the wisdom of that strategy.
The other is is, look, we know for a fact,
right because we have Rob Malley, who is, for example,
the special envoy for Iran. There are a number of
people administration that have deep links in a run. And

(04:55):
the question is is when do you go from being
friendly and aging with Ron to try to understand it
to being a you know, a fellow traveler to be
actually being an Iranian asset? And so is that you
know the reason for the leak and you know, we

(05:16):
just don't have the answer to that. But either one
of those is bad. Either we have an administration that
is riddled with Iranian people under Iranian influence, or we
have an administration that continues to pursue a completely unworkable policy.
And and by the way, I wouldn't I wouldn't preclude
that both of those explanations are true.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
Could there be a third that by by leaking such
or saying such, it would put pressure on them to
do that as opposed to oil or nuclear facilities.

Speaker 7 (05:49):
I don't think that makes as much sense, uh from
you know, from a publicly leaking perspective. If you think
about this, it it I mean it actually by announcing
that you're going after military targets. You know, you can
always harden military targets.

Speaker 8 (06:10):
You can put out.

Speaker 7 (06:11):
Dummies, you can you know, disperse people. You can do
lots of things to mitigate.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
The minimized, the actual right stright right.

Speaker 7 (06:18):
So, uh so if you wanted, if you wanted them
to hit military targets as opposed to nuclear or oil refineries,
you know, saying that publicly actually makes those targets less attractive, not.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
More likely that you would do that instead of the others.
Lieutenant Colonel James Carafano joining us.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
All right, So with Barack Obama's policy, everybody's criticism was
he's leading from behind. And I said, you know, at
some point you have to look at this as leading
out in front on behalf of our enemies. Uh this
would be a signal like that, wouldn't it. I mean, Wow,
what does this do to US Israeli relations moving forward?

Speaker 2 (06:56):
I would stop doing the US anything.

Speaker 7 (06:58):
Well, look, I think we all know where we are.
I mean, this administration literally tries to both restrain the
Israelies and and support the Israelies at the same time,
trying to be all things to all people.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Because they have a problem within their Party.

Speaker 7 (07:16):
Well, and well, it's not just that the anti Semitic,
anti Zionist forces within the party that want them to
do nothing aside, the whole strategy from the outset was
to engage and empower the Iranians and then you know,
satisfy the radicals in the Middle East by pressing for

(07:38):
a two state solutions for Palestine. So they continue to
they continue to support these policies, you know, long after
they're you know, completely irresponsible policies. Be like it's like
the captain of the Titanic, you know, saying turn left,
you know, as the last uh, you know, the last
deck of the ship goes down, are right?

Speaker 5 (08:00):
And then we had Bernie Sanders this week encouraging him
Brady to vote for Kamala Harris because if you elect
Donald Trump, he'll be nothing but closer to Israel. Like
that's a bad thing. That's pretty revealing. Well now that
that is the political side of it. And by the way,
I believe Bernie Sanders is Jewish.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Isn't he?

Speaker 9 (08:16):
He was?

Speaker 7 (08:17):
Less how much checked? But the thing actually I've seen
actually because I'm in I live in the district actually
here this week, which is crazy, but you know, so
we get campaign ads from and you know me, I'm
an independent. I'm not a Republican or Democrat. But we
I get campaign ads from not just from DC, but
from Virginia and from Maryland. And when I watch these
campaign ads, I know they're designed to attack Republicans. But

(08:40):
when I watch the campaign and I go, oh, well, geez,
that's the reasonable you know, well, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
You expect it to end with paid for by Donald J.
Trump or I'm Donald J. Trump and I approve his
that's what I braid.

Speaker 7 (08:53):
Yeah, or even actually, you know a lot of the
campaign ads from the Trump side are just basically show
clips of Harris talking. You know, Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
All right, I want to end where we started. You're Israel.
There's been this leak. Now what do we do? And
where does this put us on the timeline? Because we
keep waiting for I mean, we got bombing going, targeted
strikes on Hesbela targets and Lebanon, you got Leben the
hes Blah firing into northern Israel. But what everybody's really
waiting for is Israeli's response to Iran.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
How does this affect that response?

Speaker 7 (09:27):
I don't think it does. I mean, it's very clear
that Natanyahu is his his ideas. We are going to
cripple Hamas and Hesbla and deal it Ran a serious
deterrent blow. And that's going to buy us some time
because in the Biden administration, we know what we have.
We have an administration that won't abandon us, but on
the other hand is actually doing things that it's making

(09:49):
our job a lot harder. So we understand that we
can survive that for the next couple of months. We've
already proven that we've already decimated himas we have severely
weakened has Blat and and right now, honestly the Iranians
are just scared out of their court.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
But then we have You could wait two weeks, right,
You're two weeks away from knowing what American leadership is
going to be.

Speaker 8 (10:12):
Well, this is true, We've already seen this. On the look.
I always thought, my not that anybody listens.

Speaker 7 (10:17):
To me, but I do.

Speaker 8 (10:18):
It makes it makes sense.

Speaker 7 (10:20):
It makes sense to deal with has Blah and push
Irania Ran off, you know, like respond to Iran when
you want to, not when when you know you know
you don't have to do tip for Tat is the
most important near term threat is has blah. The longer
you the longer you wait, actually the more the less

(10:41):
likely is that Iran will try to do something else
right now.

Speaker 8 (10:44):
So yeah, I could I could see.

Speaker 7 (10:45):
Pushing this off till after the election totally. But but
the but the bigger picture is is you know what
you have now, you can survive that until January twentieth.
Then the question is what do you face if you
have a Harris. It's not the same situation. You don't
have a situation where somebody is saying, like and abandoned Israel,
but I have to be nice to the anti Semitic
you know, Jew haters and my party and I want

(11:05):
to continue to gainst you.

Speaker 8 (11:06):
That's not the government you're gonna have.

Speaker 7 (11:08):
You're going to have a government under the Harris that
will be full throated in for the radicals and the
Islamist and the region completely Israel into the bus. On
the other hand, if you have Donald Trump, you know
you're going to exactly opposite. You have a partner for
the security of Israel. You have a country that's the
leader that's determined to deal with Iran and recognize that
the two States solution instead on arrival.

Speaker 8 (11:29):
So yeah, so you have and Israel has to prepare
for both those.

Speaker 7 (11:34):
They can survive the present, but they have to prepare
for both those futures. And so your question is where
does the Iran strike fit into all that?

Speaker 8 (11:43):
And I actually think that.

Speaker 7 (11:47):
If Harris wins, it's much more likely you'll get a
much more aggressive and vigorous and powerful response from the
Israelis because they know, because they know Harris won't have
their back.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
I think I was gonna say it this way and
then let you correct me or massage, but I was
gonna say, Harris wins, they're taking out the nuclear facilities,
and I don't think they I don't know that they
would take out the oil, but I think they'll take
out the ability for them to continue their pursuit of
a nuclear weapon, to kick them back in time and
make things safer an Israel. I think it's a more

(12:25):
aggressive air strike if she wins, and if Trump wins, Yeah, look, I.

Speaker 7 (12:28):
Don't think Look, I think it's a more I agree
it's the betting thing would be able to be a
much much more aggressive strike if Harris wins. I kind
of think we were kind of bit myopic about the
nuclear thing. Look in the end of the day, I
know you think it's going to be the end of times,
but Iran is already a nuclear power for all intents

(12:52):
and purposes. They can't they can't have a nuclear over
Israel can have a nuclear war with them. What really
makes them a real threat is the circuits and the
vast amount of money. So, uh, I actually think in
in the near term.

Speaker 8 (13:13):
The the oil is better. But the other thing too is.

Speaker 7 (13:19):
If Trump is coming into office and everybody here is
it's drill, baby, drill. There's all the oil in the universe,
it's going to be pumped on the market, then taking
Iranian up oil off.

Speaker 8 (13:30):
The thing.

Speaker 7 (13:32):
Actually is that is much much more much more likely
to uh be not you know, disrupt global markets, and
it's much more likely to hurt hurt the Iranians, and.

Speaker 8 (13:48):
It'll be harder to fix. Iran has very little.

Speaker 7 (13:51):
Capacity to address because because they've been under sanctions to
fix all the stuff.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
So if you saw the Arab and Muslim world and
the sects of terrorist organizations all uniting along with Russia, Turkey, China,
North Korea, then I'd be thinking end times Right now,
I'm thinking the end of Hamas and Hesballah's influence for
a decade, and potentially the elimination of an immediate threat

(14:19):
from Iran.

Speaker 7 (14:19):
You know what the boldest move would be and perhaps
the most decisive, and if Trump wins, that might might
even be the smart play. It's not the oil, it's
not the nukes. It's the national command of control. You
take out the ability of the government to run the country,
to command their military forces. You shut off the electrical grid,

(14:41):
and you hope that people have around finished the rest
of the job.

Speaker 5 (14:44):
And then you hope that Russia and China don't join
against you. Yeah, and I don't think it would either.
All right, Always appreciate your mind. If you want to
read his great workers, colleagues, great work, go to Heritage
out Org. Lieutenant Colonel James Carafan. We'll talk to you
next week or sooner if conditions warned. Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Deltona. Roy O'Neil
has this story. Good morning, Rory, Yeah, Good morning, Michael.

Speaker 10 (15:09):
Some disturbing allegations in civil suits that were filed over
the weekend, including allegations that a thirteen year old girl
was raped at one of these parties that Diddy was hosting,
in this case after an award show back in two thousand. Again,
this follows now the federal criminal cases of sex trafficking
that have already been filed against this fifty four year

(15:30):
old man. Diddy is still being held in jail.

Speaker 5 (15:33):
On no bond, so none of us affects the trials
that are all and what has him in jail right now.
These are civil suits over and above that oh man
layers and.

Speaker 10 (15:45):
Exactly and more claims and allegations about who else was
at some of these parties. The fact that Ditty is
the only person charged here so far, that is a
big red flag for Ditty. It shows that all those
people that work for him to arrange these alleged meetups
must have got the right. They are cooperating with the
Feds who are investigating all this and so far and

(16:07):
are likely to testify against him.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
So that's something else that's a red flag.

Speaker 10 (16:13):
As this investigation goes forward, and these parties have a
lot of Hollywood publicists pretty scared right now, since lots
of names have been floated around, lots of serious allegations
have been made we know that there are videotapes that
were seized, So yeah, this really is this storm.

Speaker 5 (16:30):
This is very similar to Epstein in a sense that
you know, uh, I don't know how what got swept
under the rug got swept under the rug, including the
flight logs, but this one, between the civil suits and
the federal trial, it's going to be hard to keep
these names from going public right exactly.

Speaker 10 (16:49):
And you know, we'll see what other stories are are
going to be told here, especially as we have more
and more people coming forward to say that they were
not willing participants in these parties, as Didy's attorneys have claimed.

Speaker 11 (17:01):
As Larry King would always ask, do you have a
fear for your life? It's got a lot of people
wondering with those kinds of names coming out, how secure
is Sean Combs even in jail?

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Right, Well, he's in the Epstein jail, so.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
The answer is not very secure. Roory you O'Neil, great reporting,
Thank you. Thirty nine minutes after the hour, I do
think you know we did in our sounds of the day,
Tim Walls on the View two things happened on that one.
Basically the host is asking the question like you know,

(17:44):
nobody's a worse pathological liar than Donald Trump. But what
you did was kind of a gray area. Could you
explain why your lying is different? And it was just
it's appalling the notion that you would say you carried
weapons of war on the battlefield when you didn't. You

(18:05):
would say you had a certain rank when you didn't,
say you were a coach of a high school team,
when you were a volunteer helper, say you were into
Aneman square when you warrant.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
I mean, these are lies. I did the.

Speaker 5 (18:16):
Analogy I remember nineteen eighty nine. I mean, his big
confusion is was he in Tianeman Spurrell In nineteen eighty nine?
I was walking my bulldog in Georgetown. I lived across
the street from the Soviet Embassy, and my dog wouldn't go,
wouldn't go, wouldn't go, and it was freezing, So I
tried going across the street and when you know it,
he goes literally two feet away from the boots of

(18:38):
an armed Soviet soldier right in front of the embassy.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Now, how on earth.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
What I thirty six years later, suddenly believed that I
was in Moscow in front of the Kremlin when that happened.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Are these misspeaks?

Speaker 5 (18:59):
A misspeak is mispronouncing fetanyl and calling it fetanyl.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
These are lies, but when you're on the view, they're not.
They're gray areas. When the Democrats did it was really
a despicable interview.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
Then he got the second crack at what the difference
between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden would be, and he
couldn't come up with anything other than really lame stuff.
Nothing that involved the border crisis, nothing that involved inflation,
cost of living, the housing crisis, nothing that would involve
the wars and rumors of wars. It was really a

(19:32):
lame visit. Meanwhile, Kamala, she was campaigning with Liz Cheney.
I don't know what they think they're accomplishing with that.
Then she was giving some kind of a long freak
answer on c SPAN.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Listen to this.

Speaker 12 (19:48):
Let me if I can just speak to the what
people are feeling. We cannot despair, We cannot despair. You
know the nature of a democracy is such that I
think there's a duality. On the one hand, there's an
incredible strength when our democracy is intact, an incredible strength,

(20:13):
and what it does to protect the freedoms and rights
of its people.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Oh, there's great strength in that, but and it is
very fragile.

Speaker 12 (20:23):
Yeah, it is only as strong as our willingness to
fight for it.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
And so that's the moment we're in. And I say,
do not.

Speaker 12 (20:33):
Despair, because in a democracy as long as we can
keep it in our democracy.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
So we've gone from a republic to a democracy.

Speaker 5 (20:42):
We've gone from Benjamin Franklin coming out of Constitutional Hall,
Madame Secretary, Madame secretary.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Screaming, what do we have?

Speaker 5 (20:47):
What do we have, Madam secretary? For you, we have
a republic if you can keep it. Now, thanks to
Kamala Harris by way of Barack Obama and Joe Biden,
democracy is the soul of America. Democracy is their party platform,
Democracy is their candidates. And if they lose, we lose democracy.
I mean, it's crazy, insane stuff. But now there is
your history lesson of the day. It's a democracy if

(21:09):
you can keep it. And in the name of democracy,
all of their voters voted in a primary process to
which their votes were taken from who they voted for
and given to someone else they didn't vote for. And
seven to ten aren't happy with it. They're going to
be less happy if she goes on to lose.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
The death of the.

Speaker 5 (21:29):
Primary process of the Democrat Party and democracy is the story.
I mean, the only thing left shocking in life is
the truth. But at the end of the day, does
anybody care about any of that nonsense. No, everybody's talking
about Donald Trump at McDonald's.

Speaker 6 (21:45):
But I'm loving it and they're loving me. I'm honored
to have been elected McDonald's Employee of the Year.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
What a tremendous honor.

Speaker 6 (21:55):
And the fake news is say the only reason I
won is because of Rush RuSHA Russia. What a bunch
of horrible people, such a disgrace. On day one at McDonald's,
I fixed the ice cream machine. Nobody ever thought that
was possible, But I think I fixed.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
The ice cream machine.

Speaker 6 (22:12):
And on day one as your president, I'm going to
fix our great country. We will have a great country
once again.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
I just found out that I'm being indicted again.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
They say I put too much salt on the French fries,
too much salt, And they say that I had a
fifteen minute lunch break that took seventeen minutes. And that's
because the fake news wouldn't let me go. They wanted
to know how I was doing, and I was doing
so well. Kamala never worked in McDonald's. And the reason
we know that is because they wouldn't let her do

(22:42):
her job interview with a telepropter.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
She said, that's not gonna work.

Speaker 6 (22:46):
We need the telepropter and it didn't work out. I
did so well at McDonald's they named a new meal
after me. It's called the mcwin and it comes in small, medium,
and maga size. That We're going to a maga sized
mcwin on November fifth. So get out and vote and
let's make America great again.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Let's make America mcgreat.

Speaker 9 (23:11):
Have it.

Speaker 8 (23:14):
Hey, this is Mike the Baptist has gotten down Tennessee.

Speaker 13 (23:17):
My morning show is your morning show?

Speaker 8 (23:20):
Michael Wildorn.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
Vice President Harris's campaign has declined to do an interview.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
With Elon Musk. I wonder why Brian Shook has more.

Speaker 9 (23:29):
That's according to billionaire investor Mark Cuban on CNBC. He
said he told the Harris campaign he could try to
connect them with Musk, who owns X, but the Harris
campaign reportedly said they didn't trust that Musk would stick
to the topic of the election. Musk responded to Cuban's comments,
writing on x that he'd be happy to have a
live discussion, so there can't be any distortion.

Speaker 8 (23:52):
I'm Brian Shook.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
Liam Payne of One Direction reportedly had multiple drugs in
his body at the time of his death last week
in Argentina.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Markfield has that story.

Speaker 14 (24:01):
A partial autopsy reveals the former One Direction member had
pink cocaine in his body when he fell from his
hotel balcony in Buenos Aires. Pink cocaine is a mix
of drunks that includes methem fhetamine, kenamine and MDMA paint.
Also had cocaine, crack and benzodiazepine in his system as well.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
He was thirty one years old.

Speaker 14 (24:19):
I'm Mark Mayfield.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed with bone
marrow cancer. Andrew Whitman has that story.

Speaker 15 (24:27):
Word Monday that Weinstein has chronic myeloid leukemia. That's a
form of bone marrow cancer. It's not clear what his
condition or prognosis is. Weinstein is being treated while behind
bars at Rikers Island. He pleaded not guilty last month
to a new sexual assault count. Prosecutors are trying to
combine that charge with the other sex crimes he was

(24:48):
convicted of in twenty twenty. That conviction was overturned on
appeal based on questionable decisions made by the original judge,
including testimony about allegations not part of Weinstein's case. Andrew Whitman,
NBC News Radio, New York, Well, if.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
You're standing more to try to be healthy, it may
not be enough to offset the risks of sitting.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Michael Kassner reports.

Speaker 13 (25:10):
A new study in the International Journal of Epidemiology looked
at the health risks of sedentary behavior. Like extended periods
of sitting, standing has become a somewhat popular alternative with
people putting standing desks in the workplace. Study found, however,
that standing more doesn't necessarily lower the risk for cardiovascular

(25:30):
or circulatory issues. I'm Michael Cassner.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Got a Monday night football double header.

Speaker 5 (25:35):
Baker Mayfield through for three hundred and seventy yards and
three touchdowns, but two picks that led to scores didn't help.
Bocks lost to the Ravens forty one to thirty one.
Kyler Murray and the Cardinals a winner seventeen fifteen over
the Chargers.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
And don't forget the World.

Speaker 5 (25:47):
Series Yankees and Doadgers Game one from Los Angeles Friday
at eight oh eight Eastern.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
And that's your top five stories of the day.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
All right, storm ravaged North Carolina getting a lot of
attention from both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. I think
we know why, but as election day is just two
weeks away, John Decker has that story.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Good morning, John, Hey.

Speaker 16 (26:10):
Good morning to you.

Speaker 15 (26:11):
Michael.

Speaker 16 (26:11):
Hope you're doing well today.

Speaker 5 (26:12):
Good, I'm doing very good North Carolina. Just I looked
at some latest polling information. We got two today. Michigan
Trump is up by two. That's a trifalgar group, a
couple of nationwides that aren't as important. I'm trying to
I'm finding Florida Trump's up by ten, fifty three, forty three.
Wisconsin they got it a dead heat forty seven forty seven.

(26:32):
That's Whekammal will be today. Arizona Trump is up by three.
Nevada they have as a tie. Whereas North Carolina, North Carolina,
North Carolina or I don't think we have a recent
North Carolina.

Speaker 8 (26:44):
Well we do.

Speaker 16 (26:45):
We have it from the Washington Post. Yes, okay, what
is that one that Harris is up slightly but that
pole was taken in the first half of October, and
as you know, things have changed, you know, just in
terms of the trending over the course of the past
two weeks. So I don't know if that poll takes
that into account. That same Washington Post Bow also measured
the popularity of the candidates in the other battleground states.

(27:08):
It has Parris ahead slightly in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin. But
I think the surprise to me was also where she
is in North Carolina. And as you know, Donald Trump
was in North Carolina yesterday and he's there once again today.
He's my defense, so to speak, because of course he
won North Carolina in both twenty sixteen and in twenty twenty.

Speaker 5 (27:28):
All right, John and I are both depending on which
one you use, I use two seventy to win. But
we're electoral college map nerds. There's no getting around it.
North Carolina's key for Donald Trump. The road gets much
more different. I mean, you almost have to take Michigan
and or Wisconsin and certainly probably Pennsylvania if you give

(27:50):
up North Carolina or Arizona or both.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Right, Yeah, I.

Speaker 16 (27:55):
Mean, look at he had sixteen electoral college votes and
you know, it's an important state for both campaigns. It's
important for Donald Trump, it's important for Harris as well.
If she loses Pennsylvania with nineteen Electoral College votes, she
can still get to two seventy by winning Nevada and
also North Carolina, and that puts her over the top

(28:15):
of two seventy, so two paths that she sees if indeed,
you know, depending upon how things play out on election night.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
All right, so when I play with the map, I
give her Nevada and I give Trump Arizona, and that
looks pretty solid, although there is a chance that Trump
could carry Nevada too, but I give her that. I
give her Virginia in North Carolina, and at that point
Georgia looks pretty solid for Trump as well. At that point,
Trump would need Pennsylvania and Michigan to get to too weighty.

(28:45):
Then if let's say she took North Carolina and Pennsylvania,
now she's two seventy seven to to is two sixty one.
So I mean, the game has really, I think at
this point come down to North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

Speaker 16 (28:57):
You yeah, I think that's right. You know, we just
so many unknowns, you know, and I like that you're
doing that map and continue doing it, you know, because
things can change just in the course of a week.
You know, as you look at your numbers, as you
look at your states, and it's fun to do. And
you know, obviously you put a lot of thought and
effort into figuring out which states should be colored in

(29:19):
blue or colored in red. But you know, I certainly
do that, and we'll see, we'll see where things end up.
We know that Donald Trump is in North Carolina today,
He's in Georgia tomorrow. That's a state that he lost
narrowly in twenty to twenty and hoping to flip that
state in twenty twenty four. And he's in out in

(29:39):
Nevada after that this week. So these are important states
for both campaigns.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Have you done You haven't done? What you don't do
your final map to one election day.

Speaker 16 (29:50):
I don't do my final map until a week out
from election day. We we're looking out, we're looking at
one week from now. I'll do my final map, and
I don't think things change all that much.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Do you share this will be our first year, first
election together. Do you share your number? Yeah?

Speaker 16 (30:04):
I do share it absolutely, so we can do this
next week if you like.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, because I have Donald Trump at three vote.

Speaker 16 (30:10):
On your show, Michael for all of.

Speaker 5 (30:11):
Your an exclusive with John Decker, because I got Trump
right now at three oh six, and I'll tell you
all I got there when we do WRS. I know
you're gonna have it probably a lot closer. But I'm
just looking at all this polling information. I don't necessarily
expect to twenty sixteen over a twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
I think twenty four is going to be unique.

Speaker 5 (30:28):
But when I look at these national polls and I
look at these state polls, knowing how Donald Trump under
poles just blatantly filling in the map. Based on that,
it comes up three oh six, and then you take
one like no, North Carolina would be a huge surprise
if that went to Kamala.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Harris for me anyway, Uh, yeah, very interesting to see.
Pennsylvania and Michigan are the two I got my eye on.

Speaker 16 (30:49):
Yeah, I look and see where things were exactly four
years ago. And that's the thing that I think should
concern the Harris campaign because exactly four years ago, yes,
Biden was leading, but he's leading more. He is leading
by more in the polls and of course, we know
that what happened four years ago is that Donald Trump
overperformed based upon what he was doing in the polling.

(31:10):
So I'll give you a perfect example. You know, if
you look at state like Wisconsin, for instance, the polling
four years ago today had Joe Biden up by six
points six percent in Wisconsin, and he only won it
by twenty thousand.

Speaker 8 (31:25):
So that gives you a we'll we're gonna do that
a week.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
We'll do that. We'll do that a week from now.
I love you, my brother. We'll talk again to borrowin.
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show

Speaker 4 (32:14):
John Tester has been running on a haircut for almost
twenty years. Every time he goes campaigning, Tester loves to
remind us he looks like Montana. But there's a big
difference between looking like Montana and representing Montana values. Take
a legal immigration. Tester voted for amnesty for eleven million
illegal immigrants. Then he doubled down, voting to allow five

(32:37):
hundred million of your tax dollars to be spent on
cash payments to illegal immigrants. Illegals get your cash, while
Tester's votes cost you more. Tester voted for higher taxes
on Social Security benefits for our seniors, and he backed
legislation that could raise Medicare prescription drug premiums fifty percent.
John Tester, Sure, he's got a Montana haircut all right,

(33:00):
and a far left record that's costing you more. It's
time to replace John Tester. American Crossroads paid for it
