Speaker 3 (00:14):
Well two three starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this together.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
This is your.
Speaker 4 (00:27):

Email Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com. And if you're
just waking up, well, the polls and the sounds of
the day really sounded like the polls. The momentum is
(00:59):
all on one side. Donald Trump now leading in North Carolina,
leading in Georgia, leading in Michigan, leading in Arizona, and
one of the two polls as him leading in Nevada.
If all that were true, he's set in two weeks
to win the election with three hundred and two Electoral
College votes. Meanwhile, on stage, Tulsey Gabberd, the former Democrat
candidate for president, stood side by side with Donald Trump,
(01:22):
not just endorsing Donald Trump, but announcing she is switching
to the Republican Party. What is her political future? What
is our political future with her in that party? And
then we looked at the early voting numbers. Democrats traditionally
embrace mail in voting, Republicans speak against it. Democrats embrace
(01:44):
early voting and mail in voting. And what happens The
Republicans begin every election day playing catchup down hundreds and hundreds,
if not millions of votes. Well, we know eighty million
people are voting early. That's a lot or eighty million?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
What was it?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I had that number a second ago and now I
lost it. Eighteen million, I said, eighty eighteen million people
have early voted so far. Now we don't know how
they're voting, right, but we do in Florida. And in
Florida it was very significant mail in voting Donald Trump
(02:23):
four hundred and seventy seven a Republican. I should say
we presume Donald Trump four hundred and seventy seven thousand, Republican,
five hundred and fifty five thousand Democrat only eighty thousand
advantagers disappears in the two to one early voting, which
has been Republican two hundred two thousand, two Democrat one
hundred eight thousand. That would suggest the kind of energy
we're talking about is leaning heavily towards the Republican Party.
There's a lot of oops out there in the air
(02:45):
today for the desperate Democrats, all right, stories that people
aren't talking about. There was a guest op ed piece
in the New York Times entitled America is sleepwalking into
an economic storm. You see, the numbers just don't add up.
We are either selfishly wokeishly sleepwalking into economic collapse.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I'm worried about.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Climate change, I don't want to bring another child into
this world. Or I'm just selfish and I'm just taking
care of myself and I'm having a great life. I
don't want to have a family and become selfless. Abortion abortion, abortion,
in the name of reproductive rights. I wish somebody would
look up the definition of reproduction. Well what's the problem, Well,
the article begins, all seems economically well, Inflation seems under control,
(03:33):
the job market remains healthy, and wages, including at the
bottom end of the scale, are rising, not keeping up
with inflation, but rising. But like the movie from two
thousand with the same name, we're on an ill fated
swordfish boat in a lull ahead of a hurricane, headed
towards a perfect storm.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And what is the perfect storm?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Well, we got too few people paying for too many,
and more and more every day. The US workforce has
never aged like this before. In two thousand, there were
about twenty seven Americans above the age of sixty five
for every one hundred Americans of prime working age, twenty
(04:23):
seven of one hundred above the age of sixty five.
You can do the reverse math on that, right. That
means there were seventy three people taking care of the
twenty seven who had paid in over their lifetime. By
twenty twenty, just twenty years later, this number had increased
(04:47):
to thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Now you had.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Thirty nine people over age sixty five per one hundred
Americans in prime working age twenty to forty nine. Well,
now project forward, by twenty forty, it will have risen
to fifty four. Remember we used to talk about the
tipping scale. Your founding fathers were worried about this. This is
why they weren't interested in democracy and mob rule, because
(05:13):
the minute you have more tax receivers than tax payers.
The tax receivers, that's why you don't want to see
the most jobs, government jobs, the highest paying, best incentives
in most jobs, government job.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Why because that's a voting block.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And the first thing they're not going to do is
vote for a party that's going to eliminate their job.
So the Democrat's ability to grow the size and role
of government is key to staying in power. Nobody's going
to vote to get themselves fired. And so the thing
(05:52):
we would look at is the tipping scale. The minute
you have more tax receivers and tax payers, this thing
caves because the tax receivers are never going to vote
for their freebies to go away, and they're going to
want more and more and more with fewer people to
pay it. The whole thing collapses. That's why all they
have left is, oh, you want to abort everybody. Well,
that's why We're going to use a new illegal immigration
(06:14):
or a legal immigration slave class, because somebody's got to
do these jobs.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
We didn't have babies to do them. How else can
we compete?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Or they got a tax more, tax more, but what
are you taxing? The ritual own the businesses, and when
they don't need to work anymore, they just close the business.
I've had this conversation with only one other person, David Zinati,
who gets it. It reminds me of a William Federer
(06:46):
book that was written to atheist to talk to them
about a nation under God and what's in it for them? Oh,
you don't believe in God? Well, how do you feel
about freedom of speech? How do you feel about the
right to not believe in God? How do you feel
about all this other stuff that comes with it? Whether
you believe in God or not. Trust me, you want
(07:06):
a nation under God into visible with liberty and justice
that comes from God and not man.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
You can be for it's a woman's right. You can
be for global warming. We got to stop exeeing. These cows,
got to stop farting immediately.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
These lambs, the lamps are farting.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Stop that right now.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And so, for whatever reason, we're not having kids or
we're aboarding kids, and we want a trajectory. Whether you're
doing it wokeishly or ignorantly, your sleep walking towards economic
collapse because that tipping scale is tipped in twenty forty
and with healthcare getting more and more expensive and wages
(07:54):
not even keeping up with inflation, trust me, at caves fast,
you cannot even make our reckonmic system work. You'll have
more people on fixed incomes with fewer people to pay
for them, and it collapses. Now that's a big part
of the conversation in this perfect storm is as the
(08:16):
result of not having children, abortion on demand society, and
then what is the endgame, mass immigration, a slave working
class to make up for the population we didn't have.
There might be some economic wisdom in the old fashioned
Biblical go forth and reproduce and fill the land. And
(08:40):
that doesn't even bring up artificial intelligence. Now, if you
get in front of it and you address it properly,
you can address the challenges we make the workforce deliver
a much higher productivity. If the moment is mismanaged, it
(09:04):
could make good, well paying jobs even further and further
from reality. How we manage this population problem and how
we manage AI goes a long way to where we're headed.
Not only do we have models to follow, but actual
(09:25):
data and real time examples of what happens in society
with an aging working population. Over the past three decades, Japan, Germany,
South Caro Korea have all aged almost twice as rapidly
as the United States is aging right now.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Next time we have.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
James Carafano one, we should ask him what's the state
of the Chinese economy and why You'll be fascinated by
his answer. The numbers just don't add up. You're going
to have too few people taking care of, too many
(10:04):
out of the workforce over sixty five and on government
entitlement programs then you can afford. And when this hits,
you will start at forty trillion dollars in debt or more.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Isn't it amazing?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
You know, it's like a bunch of guys sitting around
smoking and a bomb shelter and just flicking their butts everywhere,
like these bombs can't ignite the things that we talk about,
the created dangers that we that don't even really exist
(10:48):
in our narratives, Versus this ticking time bomb.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
One degree that.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
If it did everything that they suggested, wouldn't impact that
one degree by one.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Tenth of a degree.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That's the existential threat and this ticking time bomb. It
seems like yesterday we were opening presents and my kids
were all on my lap. Do you know how fifteen
years go by? I wish there was a serious political
candidate that would discuss how in fifteen years our whole
(11:31):
economic model collapses, and that's in the rosiest Ai scenario.
This is why, let me tell you something. They're aware
of it. That's why the left is always talking about, well,
we got to get these immigrants in here. We got
to have these workers, legal or illegal. We got to
get in here, and we've got to have a slave
class do all the work because we're not having the kids.
(11:52):
They know what's coming, and neither side has addressed it. Seriously.
The average person isn't even aware of this time bomb.
But one thing's for sure evident by the end of
this segment, the clock is always ticking.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Del Trono. Conditioner breaks.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
It's an inconvenience if you don't have one, it's an
economic crisis. These things are handy, aren't they. How confident
are we in our emergency fund?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Well, not very And actually a lot of Americans say
their emergency fund is worse now than it was even
at the beginning of the year. Bank rates as a
one to two punch of higher prices, the inflation and
interest rates really hurting the bottom line, and it's making
it harder for people to set money aside. They say that,
you know, you'd be smart to change your mindset and
(12:44):
when you get that paycheck, pay yourself first, then start
worrying about the rest of those bills.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Well, there's two ways we fail in life, right, we
don't know what to do, and then we don't do
what we know. I think this, I will speak on
behalf of believers everywhere. First person I pays God. It's
his money and he's one that provided it, so his
ten percent goes to him. I try to make sure
my four oh one K is set so that I
know and I'm maxed out. Now, the more money you make,
(13:10):
the harder it is to make that twenty percent. Like
the rule is twenty ten to five, but you know,
max out your four oh one K and then yeah,
then the third one is pay yourself, and what you
want to have is a reserve fund that if you
got fired tomorrow, you could pay everything for six months,
even if you've got no severance.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
That's what an emergency fund is for.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
But Rory to speak to that, I don't think it's
America not knowing what to do. I think it's two
years of high cost of living inflation coming out of COVID.
I think the first thing to be used was that
emergency fund. Then they went on to home equity lines
of credit, then they went onto credit cards. I mean
I think everything's maxed out. I mean their credit cards
wouldn't be maxed out if they had that emergency fund.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Well, right, And a lot of Americans as they go
through this, by the way, they're finding that most Americans
don't sit down and they don't know where the money
is going is a big part of it.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I mean you've seen the ads.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
There are apps out there just to remind you about
all the subscription services you may want to consider canceling.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
That's huge, you know, right.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
So, I mean we're spending money we don't even know
we're spending. And as the old medical line goes, the
first thing you do is stop the bleeding and that's
you know, a lot of a lot of people are
bleeding out money and they don't know where it goes.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I'm trying to think, I know that Experience for One
does that service for you, and it's as simple as cancel, cancel, cancel,
because what happens is we're subscriping like nobody has cable anymore,
or a lot of people don't, just like they don't.
They used to have home phones, now they don't. And
you don't realize. But you know, Prime here, Netflix there,
(14:44):
Peacock here, this one, ESPN plus there.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
It all adds up, and it.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
May add up as much as the increase in groceries,
but that's probably I think you nailed at the two
primary places it's going that they don't realize inflation groceries,
restaurants and all these subscriptions.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Well, right, and you signed up for ascription a subscription
that was two ninety nine and now it's paying attention
now it's fourteen ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
You're like, oh, wait a minute, I didn't know that.
I don't even watch that channel.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
So yeah, a lot of it is money going out
the door.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
People don't realize where it's going.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
So just trying to get a lid on some of
that extraneous spending is probably one of the big messages
with this study out that says, you know, you need
to prioritize that savings account.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
If you haven't been already.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
All right, So what makes us vulnerable as an economy
when we know everybody's credit cards are maxed out, they're
struggling to get by, and they don't have a reserve
savings account.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Well, if you look at the national economy and the
bond markets today, they're saying the same thing that a
thirty five trillion dollar debt that the US is maxed out.
So you're starting to see some concerns there.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
But yeah, when you're a circumstance away from being in
real trouble, is what right?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
When we know that the American consumer has been keeping
this economy afloat for the past five years and then
that consumer is getting tapped out, that's a problem.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I'm gonna you know, everything has to lead to an action.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
This whole segment, the one takeaway could be all of
us might benefit. Whether you go to experience, what are
some of the other ones that do it? I'm blank
on all the different.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Isn't there a rocket rocket mortgage? I think, does it
or whatever? But find one of those things that'll do it.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And maybe the best thing to do today is cancel
everything and then as you need something, resubscribe. You'll probably
get it at a lower rate, or you can make
that decision based on the new rate. But at least
you know what you're paying for in what you're using.
And I think the other culprit is the high cost
(16:47):
of restaurants and the tips that go up percentage with
it and groceries.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's you know something that I saw a funny meme yesterday.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
The guy was saying his new rule is I don't
tip if I'm standing up to order it.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Well, that's a new trend that I did yesterday. Was
the first time I did it. Rory, that is so funny.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You bring that up. So we're at a bakery like
any other bakery.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I walked up, I need this cake for mom, Andrew
needs these three cupcakes for those that don't want that cake.
Here's the cost, and then it was asking me for
a twenty two percent tip for what And that's the
first time I said, no tip. Why would I tip
for that?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Right? So, yeah, maybe that'd be our two actions.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Can reconsider how you're tipping and for everything, and go
through and cancel everything, and resubscribe to the stuff that
you're really using and really value.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That may be something that could help it.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
And probably limit your restaurants to once or twice a
week at best. But you gotta start paying yourself because
let me tell you something. Hot water heaters, break air conditioners,
break roofs need to be replaced.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It's gonna happen. Oh, medical stuff happens.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
And employers can fire you or lay you off as
economies get tough.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, so we've got to get more prepared, and we're
not Rory. Good reporting, He'll be back.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
He gets the final say, as always, final story with
Rory coming up next hour. All right, if you're just
waking up. The busy week for the candidates continues. Brian
shook Me all night long? Has our Road to the
White House? Update Road to the White House twenty twenty four.
Former President Trump and Vice President Harris are making a
(18:19):
pitch to Latino voters as the campaign enters its final
two weeks. On Tuesday, Trump participated in a roundtable with
Latino leaders in Miami, where he said the relationship he's
built with the Latino community has translated into votes.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
The same numbers at this morning didn't.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Anchor was almost crying and said, what's going on over here?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's been a great relationship.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Harris was off the campaign trail Tuesday for an interview
with Telemundo. On Wednesday, Harris will campaign in Philadelphia and
Trump will host two events in Georgia in Washington, I'm
Brian Shuk.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Latest polls that are out today in Georgia, the Atlanta
Journal Constitution has Donald Trump up by four forty seven
to forty three percent in Georgia. Good news for Donald Trump.
The Insider Advantage Pole in North Carolina has him up to.
Nevada has him up to in a one I've never
heard of. Fabrizio and Zalney poll as Donald Trump up to.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
In Nevada. Michigan.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
The Trafalgar Pole has Donald Trump up by two forty
six to forty four. You put all those numbers onto
that two seventy to win and Donald Trump's over three
hundred electoral votes if it holds, and momentum suggests it
might be holding. Meanwhile, former Democratic presidential candidate Kelsea Gabbard
was on stage with Donald Trump and announced not only
(19:42):
does she endorse him, she's officially switching to the Republican Party.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Mark Mayfield has that story.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Gabard made the announcement at a rally in North Carolina
for former President Trump on Tuesday, saying it is because
of her love for our country and specifically because of
the leadership that President Trump has brought to transform the
Republican Party. She left the Democratic Party in twenty twenty
two to become an independent.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I'm Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
The accused school shooter open fire in Appalachi High School
in Georgia, is pleading not guilty.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 8 (20:12):
The fourteen year old was indicted on fifty five counts
related to the September shooting that left four dead and
injured nine. He also waived his formal arraignment. According to
court documents filed by his attorney, the teenager is accused
of fatally shooting two fourteen year old students and two
math teachers. He will be tried as an adult only.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
The piece of.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Music History is for sale. The very console that the
Featles used to record their last album, Abbey Road, will
be available for sale at the end of this month.
Dave Harries, who participated in several recording sessions with the
Legendary Band, said this particular recording console is unique and
that it sounds so good it holds up against any
(20:55):
modern console. Abbey Road Recording Consul goes on console goes
on sale October the twenty ninth is.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Its price is yet to be determined. I suspect it'll
be steep.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Well, Halloween is in days, and if you're ready to
carve that pumpkin, bre Tennis has some tips on how
to keep it from turning to mush.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
The moment you carve that pumpkin, the clock starts ticking
on the life of your masterpiece. An intact pumpkin as
a shelf life of up to six months, but a
carved pumpkin will last about three to five days before
the onset of mold, rot and bugs. Pumpkin master says
longevity is in preservation. Get that pumpkin dry and cod
it inside and out with petroleum jelly or pumpkin fresh spray.
(21:35):
But even then the life expectancy is only seven to
ten days. I'm bre Tennis.

NFL football Thursday night football Tomorrow night is the Vikings
in Los Angeles to take on the Rams World Series.
Game one will be in La Yankees Dodgers eight oh
eight on Friday night and Birthdays Ryan Reynolds forty eight,
where d Al Yankovic would be his most popular. You
think I'm fat?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Got fat? Yeah, because I'm fat. I like that like
a surgeon.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, like I said, he had all those parodies on
weird Alice sixty five years old.
Speaker 10 (22:09):
This is Shannon Gregory and my morning show is your Morning.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Show with Michael de or Jono.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
More yours at your morning show pitching table the better
and we appreciate you making us a part of your
day on the earin streaming live on your iheartrap app.
This is your morning show. I'm Michael. That's Jeffrey back
at the control room. I believe John Decker is going
to be joining us momentarily. If you're just waking up,
well you'll feel better about this. The FBI is investigating
a US intelligence leak on Israel's plans for a retaliatory
(22:35):
strike on a round. We talked about that with Lieutenant
Colonel James Carafano yesterday. If you want to check out
yesterday's podcast. This is unthinkable, despicable and revealing. And I
don't know if you feel any better knowing the FBI
is the one looking into it. Telsea Gabbard not only
endorsing Donald Trump on stage but announcing she's switching to
the Republican Party. What does that mean for her future?
(22:56):
Might she be the first woman president someday? And well,
if you filled in the latest polls into a map,
if the polls are accurate and everything is as it looks,
Donald Trump would win with at least three hundred and
two electoral votes orderline, landslide. What could possibly turn this
(23:18):
around for the Democrats? Eminem on stage last night along
with Barack Obama? Or how about the Boss Bruce Springsteen?
Could that turn things around? Well, he's among the Hollywood stars.
It'll be coming out on the campaign trail with Kamala Harris.
Do celebrities motivate voters? Is the real question? White House
(23:39):
correspondent John Decker is joining us. He's always one of
my favorite conversations of the day. Well, if they ever did,
they don't anymore. I don't thank you.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
I don't think so. I think that what they can
do potentially is to energize voters you know, to motivate
the base, to galvanize supporters, and that's that's what the
hope is. As it relates to Kamala Harris. She has
two events with The Boss Bruce Springsteen. One is going
to be in Atlanta that will take place on Thursday,
(24:10):
of the others in downtown Philadelphia that will take place Monday.
And also besides the Boss in Atlanta and Philadelphia, also
essentially gunning for helping out Kamala Harris will be former
President Barack Obama, so he's a superstar. And the Democratic
(24:31):
Party hoping to energize voters as well. But I don't
think that they can decide elections. But that's the extent
of it. And that's also on the Republican side. I
don't think that Elon Musk can decide an election just
because he's advocating for Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Well, but a music entertainer or a movie entertainer versus
somebody that owns a social media site that everybody's debating
politics on every day, I think are two different things.
You know, Donald Trump's on stage with with Telsey Gabbard,
who knocked Kamala Harris out of the primary in twenty
twenty uh, just beating her down in a debate. Has
(25:07):
since left the party and now announced that she's a
Republican and supporting Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I think that's better than a musician. But you know,
the other way of looking at this is what's I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
We could argue that there's nothing any more left in
it for the candidate virtually, but what's in it for
these artists? Knowing how polarized America is? Why would you
cut your audience in half? Well, you've got nothing to
lose if you're the boss.
Speaker 10 (25:32):
If you're a Bruce Springsteen fan, if you love Taylor
Swift's music. I think that for most of those fans
of those two artists, you can separate how they feel
about politics versus loving their music. I don't think it
hurts Spruce Springsteen all that much. He's still going to
sell out concerts everywhere he performs in America. At Taylor
(25:53):
Swift's still going to sell out concerts. And you know,
Garner one thousand dollars plus per ticket, whether it's an
America or abroad, doesn't hurt their audience, doesn't hurt their
reputations all that much. They're weighing in and saying who
they're going to vote for who they're going to support
in the same way the people that you mentioned are
weighing in. Danica Patrick says she's voting for Donald Trump.
(26:16):
I don't think that hurts her in anyway. She's just saying.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
But no, I don't know that like her, we'll also
vote the same way.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I'm not so sure I understand the matrix. I don't
want to support the matrix. I don't want to be
a part of the matrix. But all things being said,
I don't view Robert de Niro the same anymore. I
don't review Tom Hanks the same anymore.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I don't know that I'm so sure on that one.
I think, well, we'll find out.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Taylor Swift will be the first that might find out
parents aren't as interested in paying for their kids to
go to their concerts. I think the kids would still
want to go, that's for sure, all right. So momentum
is a big thing. You talk about energy, You know,
these stars can add to the energy. Well that's needed.
We don't know how all eighteen million early voters are voting,
but we do know in Florida that two to one
(27:00):
early voters were Republicans over Democrats. That's new. And on
mail in voting, the advantage was only eighty thousand for
the Democrats' that's very new. So the Republicans aren't set
like normal to be griping about mail in voting, griping
about early voting.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
They're engaging in it.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And for the first time in many election cycles, they're
not going to start with a huge deficit.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
In fact, in Florida, they're actually up right now.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
Well, Florida has become such a red state. You know,
you look at the midterm election and the fact that
Florida Governor Ron de Santus won by twenty points. That
used to be a state that was right on the bubble,
you know, a purple state, a swing state, a battleground state.
Not anymore. It's not the Florida of the year two thousand,
which decided that presidential election. Now it's solidly read and
(27:48):
I think that Donald Trump should rightly expect to win
that state in just two weeks time.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
And in about one week's time, John Decker will finally
reveal his map, and I can't wait to see how
different it is.
Speaker 10 (28:00):
I like the promotion.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I'm self promoting our big Showdown. We're all in this together.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
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
(29:10):
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,
(29:32):
and a far left record that's costing you more. It's
time to replace John Tester. American Crossroads paid for it,

Email Michael d at iHeartMedia dot com. And if you're
just waking up, well, the polls and the sounds of
the day really sounded like the polls. The momentum is
(00:59):
all on one side. Donald Trump now leading in North Carolina,
leading in Georgia, leading in Michigan, leading in Arizona, and
one of the two polls as him leading in Nevada.
If all that were true, he's set in two weeks
to win the election with three hundred and two Electoral
College votes. Meanwhile, on stage, Tulsey Gabberd, the former Democrat
candidate for president, stood side by side with Donald Trump,
(01:22):
not just endorsing Donald Trump, but announcing she is switching
to the Republican Party. What is her political future? What
is our political future with her in that party? And
then we looked at the early voting numbers. Democrats traditionally
embrace mail in voting, Republicans speak against it. Democrats embrace
(01:44):
early voting and mail in voting. And what happens The
Republicans begin every election day playing catchup down hundreds and hundreds,
if not millions of votes. Well, we know eighty million
people are voting early. That's a lot or eighty million?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
What was it?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I had that number a second ago and now I
lost it. Eighteen million, I said, eighty eighteen million people
have early voted so far. Now we don't know how
they're voting, right, but we do in Florida. And in
Florida it was very significant mail in voting Donald Trump
(02:23):
four hundred and seventy seven a Republican. I should say
we presume Donald Trump four hundred and seventy seven thousand, Republican,
five hundred and fifty five thousand Democrat only eighty thousand
advantagers disappears in the two to one early voting, which
has been Republican two hundred two thousand, two Democrat one
hundred eight thousand. That would suggest the kind of energy
we're talking about is leaning heavily towards the Republican Party.
There's a lot of oops out there in the air
(02:45):
today for the desperate Democrats, all right, stories that people
aren't talking about. There was a guest op ed piece
in the New York Times entitled America is sleepwalking into
an economic storm. You see, the numbers just don't add up.
We are either selfishly wokeishly sleepwalking into economic collapse.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I'm worried about.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Climate change, I don't want to bring another child into
this world. Or I'm just selfish and I'm just taking
care of myself and I'm having a great life. I
don't want to have a family and become selfless. Abortion abortion, abortion,
in the name of reproductive rights. I wish somebody would
look up the definition of reproduction. Well what's the problem, Well,
the article begins, all seems economically well, Inflation seems under control,
(03:33):
the job market remains healthy, and wages, including at the
bottom end of the scale, are rising, not keeping up
with inflation, but rising. But like the movie from two
thousand with the same name, we're on an ill fated
swordfish boat in a lull ahead of a hurricane, headed
towards a perfect storm.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And what is the perfect storm?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Well, we got too few people paying for too many,
and more and more every day. The US workforce has
never aged like this before. In two thousand, there were
about twenty seven Americans above the age of sixty five
for every one hundred Americans of prime working age, twenty
(04:23):
seven of one hundred above the age of sixty five.
You can do the reverse math on that, right. That
means there were seventy three people taking care of the
twenty seven who had paid in over their lifetime. By
twenty twenty, just twenty years later, this number had increased
(04:47):
to thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Now you had.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Thirty nine people over age sixty five per one hundred
Americans in prime working age twenty to forty nine. Well,
now project forward, by twenty forty, it will have risen
to fifty four. Remember we used to talk about the
tipping scale. Your founding fathers were worried about this. This is
why they weren't interested in democracy and mob rule, because
(05:13):
the minute you have more tax receivers than tax payers.
The tax receivers, that's why you don't want to see
the most jobs, government jobs, the highest paying, best incentives
in most jobs, government job.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Why because that's a voting block.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
And the first thing they're not going to do is
vote for a party that's going to eliminate their job.
So the Democrat's ability to grow the size and role
of government is key to staying in power. Nobody's going
to vote to get themselves fired. And so the thing
(05:52):
we would look at is the tipping scale. The minute
you have more tax receivers and tax payers, this thing
caves because the tax receivers are never going to vote
for their freebies to go away, and they're going to
want more and more and more with fewer people to
pay it. The whole thing collapses. That's why all they
have left is, oh, you want to abort everybody. Well,
that's why We're going to use a new illegal immigration
(06:14):
or a legal immigration slave class, because somebody's got to
do these jobs.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
We didn't have babies to do them. How else can
we compete?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Or they got a tax more, tax more, but what
are you taxing? The ritual own the businesses, and when
they don't need to work anymore, they just close the business.
I've had this conversation with only one other person, David Zinati,
who gets it. It reminds me of a William Federer
(06:46):
book that was written to atheist to talk to them
about a nation under God and what's in it for them? Oh,
you don't believe in God? Well, how do you feel
about freedom of speech? How do you feel about the
right to not believe in God? How do you feel
about all this other stuff that comes with it? Whether
you believe in God or not. Trust me, you want
(07:06):
a nation under God into visible with liberty and justice
that comes from God and not man.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
You can be for it's a woman's right. You can
be for global warming. We got to stop exeeing. These cows,
got to stop farting immediately.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
These lambs, the lamps are farting.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Stop that right now.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And so, for whatever reason, we're not having kids or
we're aboarding kids, and we want a trajectory. Whether you're
doing it wokeishly or ignorantly, your sleep walking towards economic
collapse because that tipping scale is tipped in twenty forty
and with healthcare getting more and more expensive and wages
(07:54):
not even keeping up with inflation, trust me, at caves fast,
you cannot even make our reckonmic system work. You'll have
more people on fixed incomes with fewer people to pay
for them, and it collapses. Now that's a big part
of the conversation in this perfect storm is as the
(08:16):
result of not having children, abortion on demand society, and
then what is the endgame, mass immigration, a slave working
class to make up for the population we didn't have.
There might be some economic wisdom in the old fashioned
Biblical go forth and reproduce and fill the land. And
(08:40):
that doesn't even bring up artificial intelligence. Now, if you
get in front of it and you address it properly,
you can address the challenges we make the workforce deliver
a much higher productivity. If the moment is mismanaged, it
(09:04):
could make good, well paying jobs even further and further
from reality. How we manage this population problem and how
we manage AI goes a long way to where we're headed.
Not only do we have models to follow, but actual
(09:25):
data and real time examples of what happens in society
with an aging working population. Over the past three decades, Japan, Germany,
South Caro Korea have all aged almost twice as rapidly
as the United States is aging right now.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Next time we have.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
James Carafano one, we should ask him what's the state
of the Chinese economy and why You'll be fascinated by
his answer. The numbers just don't add up. You're going
to have too few people taking care of, too many
(10:04):
out of the workforce over sixty five and on government
entitlement programs then you can afford. And when this hits,
you will start at forty trillion dollars in debt or more.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Isn't it amazing?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
You know, it's like a bunch of guys sitting around
smoking and a bomb shelter and just flicking their butts everywhere,
like these bombs can't ignite the things that we talk about,
the created dangers that we that don't even really exist
(10:48):
in our narratives, Versus this ticking time bomb.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
One degree that.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
If it did everything that they suggested, wouldn't impact that
one degree by one.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Tenth of a degree.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That's the existential threat and this ticking time bomb. It
seems like yesterday we were opening presents and my kids
were all on my lap. Do you know how fifteen
years go by? I wish there was a serious political
candidate that would discuss how in fifteen years our whole
(11:31):
economic model collapses, and that's in the rosiest Ai scenario.
This is why, let me tell you something. They're aware
of it. That's why the left is always talking about, well,
we got to get these immigrants in here. We got
to have these workers, legal or illegal. We got to
get in here, and we've got to have a slave
class do all the work because we're not having the kids.
(11:52):
They know what's coming, and neither side has addressed it. Seriously.
The average person isn't even aware of this time bomb.
But one thing's for sure evident by the end of
this segment, the clock is always ticking.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Del Trono. Conditioner breaks.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
It's an inconvenience if you don't have one, it's an
economic crisis. These things are handy, aren't they. How confident
are we in our emergency fund?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Well, not very And actually a lot of Americans say
their emergency fund is worse now than it was even
at the beginning of the year. Bank rates as a
one to two punch of higher prices, the inflation and
interest rates really hurting the bottom line, and it's making
it harder for people to set money aside. They say that,
you know, you'd be smart to change your mindset and
(12:44):
when you get that paycheck, pay yourself first, then start
worrying about the rest of those bills.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Well, there's two ways we fail in life, right, we
don't know what to do, and then we don't do
what we know. I think this, I will speak on
behalf of believers everywhere. First person I pays God. It's
his money and he's one that provided it, so his
ten percent goes to him. I try to make sure
my four oh one K is set so that I
know and I'm maxed out. Now, the more money you make,
(13:10):
the harder it is to make that twenty percent. Like
the rule is twenty ten to five, but you know,
max out your four oh one K and then yeah,
then the third one is pay yourself, and what you
want to have is a reserve fund that if you
got fired tomorrow, you could pay everything for six months,
even if you've got no severance.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
That's what an emergency fund is for.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
But Rory to speak to that, I don't think it's
America not knowing what to do. I think it's two
years of high cost of living inflation coming out of COVID.
I think the first thing to be used was that
emergency fund. Then they went on to home equity lines
of credit, then they went onto credit cards. I mean
I think everything's maxed out. I mean their credit cards
wouldn't be maxed out if they had that emergency fund.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
Well, right, And a lot of Americans as they go
through this, by the way, they're finding that most Americans
don't sit down and they don't know where the money
is going is a big part of it.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I mean you've seen the ads.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
There are apps out there just to remind you about
all the subscription services you may want to consider canceling.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
That's huge, you know, right.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
So, I mean we're spending money we don't even know
we're spending. And as the old medical line goes, the
first thing you do is stop the bleeding and that's
you know, a lot of a lot of people are
bleeding out money and they don't know where it goes.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I'm trying to think, I know that Experience for One
does that service for you, and it's as simple as cancel, cancel, cancel,
because what happens is we're subscriping like nobody has cable anymore,
or a lot of people don't, just like they don't.
They used to have home phones, now they don't. And
you don't realize. But you know, Prime here, Netflix there,
(14:44):
Peacock here, this one, ESPN plus there.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
It all adds up, and it.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
May add up as much as the increase in groceries,
but that's probably I think you nailed at the two
primary places it's going that they don't realize inflation groceries,
restaurants and all these subscriptions.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Well, right, and you signed up for ascription a subscription
that was two ninety nine and now it's paying attention
now it's fourteen ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
You're like, oh, wait a minute, I didn't know that.
I don't even watch that channel.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
So yeah, a lot of it is money going out
the door.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
People don't realize where it's going.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
So just trying to get a lid on some of
that extraneous spending is probably one of the big messages
with this study out that says, you know, you need
to prioritize that savings account.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
If you haven't been already.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
All right, So what makes us vulnerable as an economy
when we know everybody's credit cards are maxed out, they're
struggling to get by, and they don't have a reserve
savings account.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Well, if you look at the national economy and the
bond markets today, they're saying the same thing that a
thirty five trillion dollar debt that the US is maxed out.
So you're starting to see some concerns there.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
But yeah, when you're a circumstance away from being in
real trouble, is what right?
Speaker 5 (15:57):
When we know that the American consumer has been keeping
this economy afloat for the past five years and then
that consumer is getting tapped out, that's a problem.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
I'm gonna you know, everything has to lead to an action.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
This whole segment, the one takeaway could be all of
us might benefit. Whether you go to experience, what are
some of the other ones that do it? I'm blank
on all the different.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Isn't there a rocket rocket mortgage? I think, does it
or whatever? But find one of those things that'll do it.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
And maybe the best thing to do today is cancel
everything and then as you need something, resubscribe. You'll probably
get it at a lower rate, or you can make
that decision based on the new rate. But at least
you know what you're paying for in what you're using.
And I think the other culprit is the high cost
(16:47):
of restaurants and the tips that go up percentage with
it and groceries.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
That's you know something that I saw a funny meme yesterday.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
The guy was saying his new rule is I don't
tip if I'm standing up to order it.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Well, that's a new trend that I did yesterday. Was
the first time I did it. Rory, that is so funny.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You bring that up. So we're at a bakery like
any other bakery.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I walked up, I need this cake for mom, Andrew
needs these three cupcakes for those that don't want that cake.
Here's the cost, and then it was asking me for
a twenty two percent tip for what And that's the
first time I said, no tip. Why would I tip
for that?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Right? So, yeah, maybe that'd be our two actions.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Can reconsider how you're tipping and for everything, and go
through and cancel everything, and resubscribe to the stuff that
you're really using and really value.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That may be something that could help it.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
And probably limit your restaurants to once or twice a
week at best. But you gotta start paying yourself because
let me tell you something. Hot water heaters, break air conditioners,
break roofs need to be replaced.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
It's gonna happen. Oh, medical stuff happens.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
And employers can fire you or lay you off as
economies get tough.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, so we've got to get more prepared, and we're
not Rory. Good reporting, He'll be back.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
He gets the final say, as always, final story with
Rory coming up next hour. All right, if you're just
waking up. The busy week for the candidates continues. Brian
shook Me all night long? Has our Road to the

Former President Trump and Vice President Harris are making a
(18:19):
pitch to Latino voters as the campaign enters its final
two weeks. On Tuesday, Trump participated in a roundtable with
Latino leaders in Miami, where he said the relationship he's
built with the Latino community has translated into votes.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
The same numbers at this morning didn't.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Anchor was almost crying and said, what's going on over here?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
It's been a great relationship.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Harris was off the campaign trail Tuesday for an interview
with Telemundo. On Wednesday, Harris will campaign in Philadelphia and
Trump will host two events in Georgia in Washington, I'm
Brian Shuk.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Latest polls that are out today in Georgia, the Atlanta
Journal Constitution has Donald Trump up by four forty seven
to forty three percent in Georgia. Good news for Donald Trump.
The Insider Advantage Pole in North Carolina has him up to.
Nevada has him up to in a one I've never
heard of. Fabrizio and Zalney poll as Donald Trump up to.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
In Nevada. Michigan.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
The Trafalgar Pole has Donald Trump up by two forty
six to forty four. You put all those numbers onto
that two seventy to win and Donald Trump's over three
hundred electoral votes if it holds, and momentum suggests it
might be holding. Meanwhile, former Democratic presidential candidate Kelsea Gabbard
was on stage with Donald Trump and announced not only
(19:42):
does she endorse him, she's officially switching to the Republican Party.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Mark Mayfield has that story.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
Gabard made the announcement at a rally in North Carolina
for former President Trump on Tuesday, saying it is because
of her love for our country and specifically because of
the leadership that President Trump has brought to transform the
Republican Party. She left the Democratic Party in twenty twenty
two to become an independent.

be available for sale at the end of this month.
Dave Harries, who participated in several recording sessions with the

that it sounds so good it holds up against any

Well, Halloween is in days, and if you're ready to
carve that pumpkin, bre Tennis has some tips on how
to keep it from turning to mush.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
The moment you carve that pumpkin, the clock starts ticking
on the life of your masterpiece. An intact pumpkin as
a shelf life of up to six months, but a
carved pumpkin will last about three to five days before
the onset of mold, rot and bugs. Pumpkin master says
longevity is in preservation. Get that pumpkin dry and cod
it inside and out with petroleum jelly or pumpkin fresh spray.
(21:35):
But even then the life expectancy is only seven to
ten days. I'm bre Tennis.

This is your morning show. I'm Michael. That's Jeffrey back
at the control room. I believe John Decker is going
to be joining us momentarily. If you're just waking up,
well you'll feel better about this. The FBI is investigating
a US intelligence leak on Israel's plans for a retaliatory
(22:35):
strike on a round. We talked about that with Lieutenant
Colonel James Carafano yesterday. If you want to check out
yesterday's podcast. This is unthinkable, despicable and revealing. And I
don't know if you feel any better knowing the FBI
is the one looking into it. Telsea Gabbard not only
endorsing Donald Trump on stage but announcing she's switching to
the Republican Party. What does that mean for her future?
(22:56):
Might she be the first woman president someday? And well,
if you filled in the latest polls into a map,
if the polls are accurate and everything is as it looks,
Donald Trump would win with at least three hundred and
two electoral votes orderline, landslide. What could possibly turn this
(23:18):
around for the Democrats? Eminem on stage last night along
with Barack Obama? Or how about the Boss Bruce Springsteen?
Could that turn things around? Well, he's among the Hollywood stars.
It'll be coming out on the campaign trail with Kamala Harris.
Do celebrities motivate voters? Is the real question? White House
(23:39):
correspondent John Decker is joining us. He's always one of
my favorite conversations of the day. Well, if they ever did,
they don't anymore. I don't thank you.
Speaker 10 (23:49):
I don't think so. I think that what they can
do potentially is to energize voters you know, to motivate
the base, to galvanize supporters, and that's that's what the
hope is. As it relates to Kamala Harris. She has
two events with The Boss Bruce Springsteen. One is going
to be in Atlanta that will take place on Thursday,
(24:10):
of the others in downtown Philadelphia that will take place Monday.
And also besides the Boss in Atlanta and Philadelphia, also
essentially gunning for helping out Kamala Harris will be former
President Barack Obama, so he's a superstar. And the Democratic
(24:31):
Party hoping to energize voters as well. But I don't
think that they can decide elections. But that's the extent
of it. And that's also on the Republican side. I
don't think that Elon Musk can decide an election just
because he's advocating for Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Well, but a music entertainer or a movie entertainer versus
somebody that owns a social media site that everybody's debating
politics on every day, I think are two different things.
You know, Donald Trump's on stage with with Telsey Gabbard,
who knocked Kamala Harris out of the primary in twenty
twenty uh, just beating her down in a debate. Has
(25:07):
since left the party and now announced that she's a
Republican and supporting Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
I think that's better than a musician. But you know,
the other way of looking at this is what's I mean.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
We could argue that there's nothing any more left in
it for the candidate virtually, but what's in it for
these artists? Knowing how polarized America is? Why would you
cut your audience in half? Well, you've got nothing to
lose if you're the boss.
Speaker 10 (25:32):
If you're a Bruce Springsteen fan, if you love Taylor
Swift's music. I think that for most of those fans
of those two artists, you can separate how they feel
about politics versus loving their music. I don't think it
hurts Spruce Springsteen all that much. He's still going to
sell out concerts everywhere he performs in America. At Taylor
(25:53):
Swift's still going to sell out concerts. And you know,
Garner one thousand dollars plus per ticket, whether it's an
America or abroad, doesn't hurt their audience, doesn't hurt their
reputations all that much. They're weighing in and saying who
they're going to vote for who they're going to support
in the same way the people that you mentioned are
weighing in. Danica Patrick says she's voting for Donald Trump.
(26:16):
I don't think that hurts her in anyway. She's just saying.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
But no, I don't know that like her, we'll also
vote the same way.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I'm not so sure I understand the matrix. I don't
want to support the matrix. I don't want to be
a part of the matrix. But all things being said,
I don't view Robert de Niro the same anymore. I
don't review Tom Hanks the same anymore.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I don't know that I'm so sure on that one.
I think, well, we'll find out.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Taylor Swift will be the first that might find out
parents aren't as interested in paying for their kids to
go to their concerts. I think the kids would still
want to go, that's for sure, all right. So momentum
is a big thing. You talk about energy, You know,
these stars can add to the energy. Well that's needed.
We don't know how all eighteen million early voters are voting,
but we do know in Florida that two to one
(27:00):
early voters were Republicans over Democrats. That's new. And on
mail in voting, the advantage was only eighty thousand for
the Democrats' that's very new. So the Republicans aren't set
like normal to be griping about mail in voting, griping
about early voting.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
They're engaging in it.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And for the first time in many election cycles, they're
not going to start with a huge deficit.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
In fact, in Florida, they're actually up right now.
Speaker 10 (27:25):
Well, Florida has become such a red state. You know,
you look at the midterm election and the fact that
Florida Governor Ron de Santus won by twenty points. That
used to be a state that was right on the bubble,
you know, a purple state, a swing state, a battleground state.
Not anymore. It's not the Florida of the year two thousand,
which decided that presidential election. Now it's solidly read and
(27:48):
I think that Donald Trump should rightly expect to win
that state in just two weeks time.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
And in about one week's time, John Decker will finally
reveal his map, and I can't wait to see how
different it is.
Speaker 10 (28:00):
I like the promotion.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
I'm self promoting our big Showdown. We're all in this together.
Speaker 3 (28:06):

Speaker 4 (28:47):
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
(29:10):
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,
(29:32):
and a far left record that's costing you more. It's
time to replace John Tester. American Crossroads paid for it,
