Kealan Company, weekday morning, six till 10. Six AM news. We are sponsored by Garden State Earthworks this morning. In Philadelphia, a lot of Philadelphia news, man is in critical condition, shot in the East Mount Erie section of Philadelphia, and it happened right around dinner time. Yesterday, 1500 block of East Johnson Street that were police were called with multiple 911 calls as shots were fired in a driveway. That, according to Philadelphia police, officers arriving to find a 29-year-old man laying face down, suffering from gunshot wounds to his back. He was rushed to the hospital, and he's in critical condition this morning. So, all we know at this point, the victim found in the driveway there, and five spent shell casings around the corner, half a block away, and another, actually, was also found. So, why, half a block away, a six-spent shell casing is found. We just don't have all the answers. Was this a situation where was this somebody pulling out of their garage, pulling into their driveway, and then they were being attacked, attempting car jacking? We don't know. So, police still asking questions as far as what happened here. Yeah. Speaking of, you know, car jacking and trying to get in and out of driveways and garages, you notice our garage doors closed again in the morning when we come in. It was open for, like, a year straight now. All of a sudden, we got to park our car, get it out, swipe it with our badge, get back in. Then I got to put my seatbelt back on because the damn thing beeps every two seconds. Can a morning show get, like, some accommodations, or maybe we should just crawl on our face. Nicholas, crawl on your face. I just asking. If you recall, somebody had a man who had like a seizure, and he was leaving the parking garage last year. Was it a seizure, really? Yes. That's what I heard. Yeah. I have sources. That's what I heard. He had, like, a seizure. Those garage sources, too. And he ran into the side of the former garage door and toppling it, fire department. That's when I learned because I was, like, trying to get out that day. Yeah. And they said, um, yeah, you can. I was like, I could just move it. And this firefighter goes, ah, it's like a thousand pounds. Yeah. And I was like, oh, he just picked his thing up. He's like gone. You can't move that. We throw this in the back of my minivan in the third. I can use those. Something else. I can repurpose that thing. So it took all this time to get the new door. That's what happened. Okay. And the man was okay. He ended up in the hospital. That's all that matters. So there's that. Yeah. First world problems. First world. I know, right? The garage door. What did you say on your face? Oh my goodness. All right. So we have a lot going on. Obviously, this morning, the big story here for us that's making national news as well, dock workers across the country and here in Philadelphia, the Port of Philadelphia. In fact, our, our on strike and they're out on the picket lines after the International Longshoreman's Association known as the ILA announced that, yes, as, as we knew, this was impending. They stopped negotiating last June, but they went on strike 1201 a.m. this morning, impacting all major ports up along the East Coast and the golf course. We're talking about 45,000 workers from Texas all the way up to Maine. And they say they want better pay. They want job security. They are against automate automation and AI. So those are just some of their concern and they want an 80% raise. Apparently they were offered more than a 50 50 50 percent raise already. And they turn it down, turn it down. And then they were negotiating for a 70 percent. And then it went up to 77 percent. So wow, can we all get an 80 percent raise? I'd take 50 right now. If Greg came with me, 30, 36 major U.S. ports, they say it could cost the, the economy $5 billion a day a day. I was just going to say, but when does it impact us baller wise or availability wise, like how quickly will we like, like, like, so not immediately, but soon. All right. Yeah, buying, you're going to start buying things in bulk real quick. Yes. Yeah, stock up. Maybe buy some. This is the problem. Maybe buy some Amazon stock. See, everybody's going to stock up. Yeah. And then we cause the shortages. It's true. Didn't we live this before? We did. Right. And then Joe Todles, how supply chain works. And we figured it out. By the way, Amazon's $168 is a share right now. Mm hmm. Yeah. By the way. And by the way, just locally ports in, obviously, I said Philadelphia archives and gals on strike here in the picket lines in New York, New Jersey, Wilmington, Delaware, also obviously closed due to the strike. They say they're prepared for a long strike, if necessary. Oh boy. And they deserve this. And to Greg's point, well, first of all, they're really talking up that automation part. But to Greg's point, they basically have the country by the Kehony's. Mm hmm. Yeah. And also a factor. And we were just talking about unions in the last couple of weeks with Teamsters and how, you know, 59% of the workers in the union are backing Trump, yet the bosses are backing Harris. Very interesting dynamic here as we approach five weeks. Do they get, do they get paid when they're on strike? No, right? No, but they'll get back pay. Okay. But, but, I mean, I'm guessing a lot of these guys aren't millionaires, right? No. That's true. So how long can they afford to be out on strike? That's true. And the president does have the power to intervene. But the last time somebody did it was it was after 11 days, it was, I was looking it up last night was, I think it was George W Bush back in the day. So it's usually presidents hope that they can resolve things. And I think in the past, they don't want to get involved. I think the last, the last time we talked about a strike was the writers correct for the, like the late night shows and whatever else we were talking about about a year, year and a half ago. Or are we talking about that? Yes, that's true. Yeah. Not much of an impact. No, of course not. This is 45,000 workers. And obviously, you know, the last time the port workers on the East Coast, on the Gulf East and Gulf Coast went on strike was 1977, 50, you know, we're talking 50 years ago. They were showing all the cities on the map from, you know, like you said, from Maine to Texas, you know, you had Philly and Baltimore and Roanoke and I mean, literally the entire side of the Oregon and the East Coast is all orange lit up with the port cities. If you're Kamala Harris, what side do you, because there's already a poll out that shows that most union workers hate her anyway. So do you stand with the union workers? Do you do you try and get them back to work like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers? Yeah, with the air traffic controllers. Where, what do you do? What side do you come down on this? It's kind of hard after the bosses come down and support Kamala, right? I mean, it wouldn't she be stabbing them in the back after they just endorsed Harris? Yeah. Yeah, she should probably stay out of this. Much like the Middle East and everything else. She's damned if she doesn't, damned if she doesn't. And I'm not trying to defend her, but like at this point, you know, like, what is she going to say? What is she going to do? The battle lines have already been drawn. So if you're, if you're CBS news, because they're hosting the debate tonight, the VP debate, vice president still really have too much control over this. But do you ask about this? Sure. I think these are heartbeat away from if whoever wins, you know, your heartbeat away from being the president. It's got to be like a like a secondary question underneath the economy, right? You know, you start on what's your general vision to deal with inflation and then you hit up with a follow up and you throw that in there to wrap it up before you move on to abortion or immigration or whatever else they're going to kick around tonight. By the way, just a quick update for you locally police, Philadelphia police say they have located the vehicle, the suspected vehicle in that fatal hit and run. Remember we told you we talked about the 14 year old girl West Philadelphia, Dawn Watson is her name. She was crossing the street with her mom and she was struck and killed on the 6500 block of Haverford Avenue. So they don't have the person, the driver. I don't have word if the vehicle, you know, is it a stolen vehicle? I wonder. One will wonder, but it's the Mercedes. So they've got the vehicle there one step closer to an arrest in this tragic case. Remember her body was thrown thrown so far by this fast go this speeding vehicle that initially mom as a pedestrian the cross work was frantic looking around the her daughter's body was flung. Yeah, she couldn't find her right. She couldn't find her. Yeah, that's amazing. This is so sad. Right. I'll take you to two big stories. Obviously in the world of sports Pete Rose. All time hits leader banned from baseball for betting on the sport has died at the age of 83. We've lost so many people on the last day. We lost the Kembe Matumbo earlier in the day. Yes. Yep. It's unbelievable. And we, uh, who was the country guy yesterday? We talked about 88 years old, um, Chris Christoff. Yeah. I swear these things always gotten in threes, don't they? John Ashton, the, uh, the actor, he was a Beverly Hills cop. Yep. 76 clue for 920 today. Yeah. Pete Rose, man. That was my dad's all time favorite. He talked. You want to talk about the polar opposite of a guy like comparing somebody to Darius sleigh? Pete Rose. Right. There's your guy. You think Pete Rose would have a bad day and then get on social media and say, well, if you look at my career and totality, I was pretty good now. And you reference your dad. I mean, Rose made four all star appearances and help the fills obviously to one of one of their two world championships during his five seasons here in Philadelphia, 1979 to 83 Phillies releasing a statement at how sad they are to learn of Rose's passing saying he'll always be remembered for his grit and hustle, really hustle and forbidding on baseball as a player, which led to his ban, which by the way, so it's so absurd that we live in a world now where major league baseball, every single commercial, there's a gambling ad with draft Kings and Fandall and bed MGM. Yeah, you couldn't let the guy in the hall of fame. Really don't gamble on baseball, but we'll take the sports books money. Okay. And we'll update you, of course, on the tragedy that's happening down south with a hurricane and then tropical storm, Helene that struck Florida. Remember, it'll be a week ago tomorrow or into Thursday, I guess it was Thursday evening that it went that it struck Florida technically made landfall near Perry, Florida as a category four. So the death toll rises 132 people. That's the latest striking six states, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Trump, obviously in Georgia yesterday, President Joe Biden has said now he will go to the worst parts of North Carolina, western parts tomorrow. Yeah, pretty amazing that Trump, who's basically a civilian citizen at this point, private citizen, he's able to beat Joe and Kamala to these ravaged areas like Georgia and Tennessee and wherever else he plans on going. Kamala sitting there, by the way, indoors at FEMA headquarters in Washington. And did you see the post where her social media, like, again, she's got the earbuds in, not connected to the phone. And she's sitting in front of a blank piece of paper pretending to write. And there's nothing on the sheet of paper. Everything is staged about that woman. Plug it in. It's a bit nothing but a 24 seven photo op with this lady. So a lot swirling around. And I know that the Trump campaign started to go fund me page. He was there with Franklin Graham yesterday. So praying with people and surveying the damage. And by the way, don't forget Don Trump was able to get to East Palestine, Ohio, after the train derailment with the water issue before Joe and Kamala. And finally, I will just say, happy birthday for President Jimmy Carter. Today is his 100th birthday. October 1st, he was born in 1924. First first president to hit 100. Yeah, what do they call that? Octogenarian? Is that what it's called? Or am I getting that wrong? Yeah. Yeah. Octogenarian. He's got me beat by 40 years. He saw four more decades that I'm ever gonna see. Believable. He was 39th president, the United States of America. And probably best remembered for his post presidency, because of course, tough economy with Carter. So he was not necessarily honored as a great president, but post president for all of his peace initiatives and great life. So happy birthday, Mr. President 100. I guess that they said for his museum, for this presidential museum, they'll charge 100 pennies under, you know, $1. So it's kind of a kind of a cute story, though. Think about what he's lived through since the 20s. We are sponsored this morning by Garden State Earthworks.

Today, there unfortunately, I have to say this, there is another chance for a little bit of drizzle today and tomorrow, but not washouts by any measure, just enough to be annoying. The sun still comes out. So we're still in that range of low 70s until Thursday when we pop up to sunny skies and 77 degrees. So we'll hit a much warmer tone this first week of April. But today and tomorrow, we still have to deal with the spattering of the rain. And for our Philadelphia Phillies, well, at least we know we're down to two with who we're going to face this Saturday. That game yesterday with the first of the double headers with Brains the Metz was a fabulous game. I know. It was a great game. I'm just sitting back stress-free watching these two beat each other's brains in like, ah, whoever who can win, that's fine. The Phillies are resting up, seeing like a six days off. So the Metz take on the Brewers starting today at 5.30 and then the winner of that phase is the Phillies. That was correct. And the Diamondbacks are out of it because they both, they split the double header. Yes. That's embraced, split the double header. According to ESPN's analytics, the Phillies have a 59% chance to make the NLCS a 32% chance to make the World Series and an 18% chance to win at all. By the way, you're being called, it's not an octogen area. That's 80. That's, I knew that didn't sound right. Yeah, you're right. You know, I was questioning that the moment it popped up into my, it's a centennial, centennial president. Yeah, I should have fact checked myself before I opened my mouth. I see if Margaret Brennan can help me out tonight. Road Warriors says give Nick a break. He'll he'll be good or someday. Yeah, I should never have even opened up my mouth. Why would you even cover that? That's a great point. Could have just laid low. Let's all get to the reach. I was trying to be nice. Yeah. It's six o'clock in the morning. No, you're good. You're good. Gail and company use one. All right, Don, thank you very much. 6.20 on this Tuesday morning. Let's get to another big take on Kail and Company. And it is brought to you by Wawa BP debate exactly five weeks until the 2024 election. And on October 1st, we get what looks to be the final debate of this election cycle, Vice President Hopefuls, J.D. Vance and Tim walls square off at nine o'clock tonight. You can hear the debate, simulcast on talk radio 1210 W.P.H.T. You can watch it on CBS. Will the debate matter? Well, some say potentially, most say probably not. But with 34 days to go, it's hard to imagine anything changing anyone's minds, except for that small sliver, as we like to say, of undecided voters that still remain persuadable. And when we look back at not only 2024, but also 2023, we have seen countless seismic political events with marginal impact on the polls from Donald Trump's for indictments, a little bit of a boost to attempting to remove Trump from state ballots to multiple assassination attempts. Trump remains in that 46 to 49% range. With Kamala Harris, she went from an approval rating lower than Joe Biden's while serving as his VP to riding the wave of being installed as Biden's replacement through the DNC through the first and only debate with Donald Trump. But has since plateaued, the Harris honeymoon has been over for weeks and it lasted all of about five or six weeks. But debates have had some impact and we can't ignore it. Just look to this year. Joe Biden was so awful on June 27th in Atlanta that the Democrat power brokers subverted democracy, put him out to political pasture and installed his VP in a last ditch effort to save and keep power. So what can Vance and walls do tonight? Well, let's not forget the one thing they most notably share in common. That is their military backgrounds. If I'm Vance, I make sure I hammer home stolen valor. Vance should be keenly aware. The Pennsylvania is home to over 750,000 veterans. You were brought on board to Trump's ticket to help secure the Rust Belt. It's time for Mr. Ohio to deliver. After that, I think it comes down to who is less weird. That was the political buzzword of the summer. Weird. Vance needs to continue being the most visible and vocal man of the four names on the two political tickets. As of two weeks ago, Vance had done 59 interviews followed by Trump's 14, walls is four and Harris is three and JD Vance is a cool customer, smooth speaker, Ivy League attorney, but he still projects the every day man. He needs to out every day the Democrats every day, man, that being Tim walls and do it being less weird. But the time for weirdness is over. It's time for another W word. And that word is winning. JD Vance should be able to win on the issues, the policies and America's top concerns. After all, Trump advance have made their plans crystal clear on the economy, the border, wars, crime, energy, you name it. And how can Tim walls match Vance on policy when we still don't know much of anything about Kamala Harris's policies? What are we going to get a wall's word salad? Is he going to flail his arms around like a stretch Armstrong on the Ellen DeGeneres show with the occasional foot kick? Have you noticed that little leg kick he likes to do is like Chris Farley on that SNL talk show bit? Is he going to hit us with superlatives and tell us about joy and hope and change and turning the page? But the truth is this, this election is likely about men against women. It's not about policy. It's not about issues. It's about feelings. It's about men and women. And Kamala has women in her corner, but the GOP has men in their corner. And the biggest weakness between the two tickets is men. Tim walls and Doug Amhoff. They can continue this charade of redefining masculinity, but nobody buys it. Not even MSNBC. Here is the Dems TV propaganda machine the morning Joe show breaking down the Kamala vulnerability. Listen and watch this. Older white men, just like people thought after Biden left the race more of a challenge pulling them to vote against Trump again. Yeah, I mean, older white men and actually younger white men too, also a bit of a challenge. I mean, that number, they'll like a lot up past five in Pennsylvania because you're right. It's the new Ohio. It's the new Florida. It's the state where they see they have the most problems. And of course, then the can either the concern or the upside, depending on how you look at this from the Harris campaign's point of view is that Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin people think will break the same way that that's what they've done traditionally ever since 1980. I think there's one exception. And so if they lose Pennsylvania, what would that then mean for Wisconsin and Michigan? If they win Wisconsin and Michigan, does that mean they're going to win Pennsylvania? But that's why they're putting so much resources into that. But it's men. I mean, I think the real, the real struggle for the Harris campaign is young men, older men, men of color, white men, and they are doing all they can. You can see, I think will the debate next week will be really interesting to see how Tim walls reaches out to that group. Doug Emhoff, who I interviewed yesterday, I think we've got to come for that. We can have later on the program. He is making a concerted effort in his own way to reach out to that group. They know that that's where they know that's where they have a weakness. Three takeaways from that clip. Number one, did you hear her say that Pennsylvania is the new Ohio and Florida for Democrats as in a struggle is combo doing far worse than we actually realize here in the state that likely could determine the entire election. Secondly, how one state goes the other two go. When we talk about Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, they've all followed each other every time except for one since 1980. More uncommon was Pennsylvania problem as well as the Michigan mistake coming up this hour. And then number three, they are struggling with all men, young, old, white, black, Hispanic, doesn't matter. Men are in Trump's corner. To be honest, I don't know a single man. God's honest truth. I don't know a single man who says they are voting for Kamala Harris. And I have male friends that are Democrats. They have not told me they are voting for Kamala Harris. Doesn't mean they're voting for Trump, but they have not said they are voting for Kamala Harris. But the debate could be decided on three key approaches in my opinion. It's balancing your agenda versus your attack lines tonight. If we are to take CBS at face value that they will not fact check and intervene. And it's up to the two debaters to fact check each other. How do you balance your vision for America versus calling out the other guy? That's key point number one for me. Secondly, whose resume and upbringing will connect with voter bases in middle America more? Does it even matter? And finally, can either more low key guy compared to the top of the ticket, say something that clicks with voters that maybe hasn't been relayed well enough from either Trump or Harris at the top of the ticket, both of whom are frequently criticized. And then there's the nerves. There's the anxiety. We know Trump's a natural. Vance is a natural, but this is his first shining moment. He's never had a stage bigger than this. We know Kamala's heart in the first 10 minutes of that debate on September 10th was beating a mile per minute. We could hear her struggling to speak because she wasn't breathing as she spoke. And according to a CNN report, Tim Walls is nervous. And in prep, he's had mayor Pete as his mock opponent in prep for the debate. They've had reportedly quote long sessions that have gone into the night, according to CNN, who also reports that Walls is worried, quote, that he will let Harris down. If Walls can let Harris down after she has let America down for almost four years, what does that say about the ineptitude and the confidence or lack thereof of this ticket? How can any American be confident in either one of them? And every time Tim Walls is told America who he is, it's proven to be a lie an exaggeration or his excuse as well. I'm not great with the English language and my wife has to correct me. Scott Jennings of CNN pulling no punches. Listen and watch. The consequential second of all, Walls is a buffoon. I'm sorry. This guy, he's the only school teacher in America who brags it. None of his students can get into an Ivy League school. He said one consequential press interaction with our Danabash who asked him about the fabrications in his own resume. And his answer was essentially, you know, me no understand words good. I mean, he's a buffoon. He's he's on a he's on a free ride for running under Harris. He gets here's the 411 for tonight's proceedings. The debate will be 90 minutes. No studio audience audience. The microphones will not be muted. Let me repeat that. The mics will be hot the entire time. Completely different scenario from the last two debates with Trump Biden and Trump Harris. The debate will be moderated by CBS Evening News News host Nora O'Donnell and CBS face the nation host Margaret Brennan. But will CBS press Tim Walls if he pulls a Kamala and doesn't answer the questions? Well, CNN has the answer and apparently it's a no. Listen and watch this final clip. Even last week, I was in New York at a fundraiser that Tim Walls was doing at an apartment there. And he said after I left the room, I heard he said to someone who asked has debate prep going and said, look, you know, I was trained as a teacher. As a teacher, we're trained to answer the questions. We tell our students to answer the questions. That's not what this is. So Walls really trying to fit himself into this somewhat awkward always thing of a nationally televised debate. I think tonight, if you don't watch the debate and I hand you the transcript of the debate and you took the time to read it, you will see that J.D. Vance wins this debate. But Tim Walls and the mainstream media, they could prop him up and say he wins the debate if he does a bunch of theatrics and throws a sideshow. Because so far, that's all Tim Walls is. He's Kamala Harris's emotional support animal. I think J.D. Vance wins this debate and wins it easily tonight. That said, not sure that it matters. And that's the big take big take on Kaling Company brought to you by Wawa, where they have classic hogies. Have you heard? It's just $6. Whether it's the cheesesteak, meatball or Italian, you can get any classic hoggy for just six bucks. Gotta have a Wawa 855 839 1210. We'll give you some other details on the debate tonight, including how CBS will go about their fact checking the history of CBS and their moderators being super, super anti Trump and Tim Walls five biggest lies. How much of that will J.D. Vance expose? We'll get to that as we continue this morning. It's Kaling Company and we're back after this. This is Jean Marie Laskis with the podcast Cement City.

Arnan Mishkin is the Fox News decision desk editor. And he says that in the six elections this century, according to him, the VP debate has mattered in half of them in three of those six. And he mentioned most notably Sarah Palin from years ago, 15, 16 years ago. So the question is, does tonight actually matter? Throw up a poll question on Twitter. I don't know if you want to throw one up in the YouTube chat. Will this debate have any impact on the election between Trump and Kamala? Maybe we could check out the results later in the show. Don stands on. You've been doing this for a long time. You've seen VP debates that have mattered and some that have not. I'm of the belief that this could very well matter tonight, even if it's just slightly because I do think this is going to be a super razor thin election. I do think this is an election that we might go days if not weeks without knowing who the winner is. I don't think it'll be 36 days like it was 24 years ago. But I could see us getting to Friday after the election, November 8 or whatever that date is not knowing the winner. So do you think tonight matters for anybody in America? I think it sure it all matters. And mostly it's who says something outlandish, something stupid, that sort of thing. But you mentioned the Sarah Palin, you know, the Sarah Palin debate. And I'll take you back then because that was pre-Trump. That was before we knew terms such as fake news. And so think about the media now looking back. Think about the media treatment of John McCain and Sarah Palin. And the media was critical in that election. Then you think of when John McCain, who was a war hero, who was a prisoner of war and longtime senator, obviously, but he was when he passed away. He was treated like a saint by the media. And I remember many people looking at that and saying, "Wow, why didn't you say anything nice about the guy?" You ripped into him. Complete 180, right? Yes. And so I know that as people get older or maybe when they pass away, you don't want to rip on him. But the point is, they were brutal and unfair to John McCain and Sarah Palin. And then, of course, you have the former idiots who ran that campaign and they're now at MSNBC, which tells you everything you need to know. They were losers and will never have another, I mean, they knew that they would never have another job running a campaign. But he was, you know, think about McCain running against, you know, Obama and being fair and even saying to the woman at the rally so famously, when she said something, I guess it was a birther thing or she was questioning him as evil or what have you. And McCain took the microphone away from her and said, "No, he's a good man." Well, you make a really great point because in the Trump era of politics, especially Republican politics, now all of a sudden, the mainstream media, they look at the bushes, they look at the McCain's, the Cheney's, the Romney's, they look at them almost like they're Democrats and they're darling little angels, all because they have vilified Trump so much, it's almost like the mainstream media and the propaganda machines like MSNBC are saying, "Hey, Republicans, you need to smarten up and go back to your old ways." And it's like, obviously, there's this, this, you know, impasse here where we're like, no, we're never going back to the way it used to be with the party. That's why I think Americans largely, short of, you know, whatever that number really was with Nikki Haley, 20%, 22%, how many of that was Republicans, how many of those were independents and Democrats, that's why America rejected Nikki Haley. I mean, in part because you love Trump so much, but the other part is, and I, like, this is just my view, and these are my words, I've said Nikki Haley is just a rebranded, repackaged, refurbished, Bush Republican, and I just don't think most Americans want that. That doesn't, the, and I think that's why Trump's doing so well with the younger generation, 18 to 24, black, Hispanic, on down the list. Those numbers didn't exist with Bush Republican type policies. Yeah, I'll just remind you of when we, when you mentioned Sarah Palin, think about that famous, I think I use this in the journalism class one time, but that famous Katie Kirk interview with her as Katie Kirk was interviewed, I think Katie was probably was, she had CBS news at that point, or NBC, I forget. And Katie Kirk says, what are you, what are you reading? What do you read on a daily basis? She was so condescending. And that was the media. And so now in the Trump era, and this is what I always say, Trump was born of this. When you start looking back at election coverage and the way that Republicans and conservatives were treated back then, you realize that Trump was born of this, that a lot of people, well, I don't remember him on my mom in 2015, just saying, you know what, poor Jeb Bush, they'll just eat him alive. They'll, you know, he's such a gentleman. He's such a nice Christian man. Like she loved him. She loved the Bush family, but she said it's Trump from day one from the escalator. It's, it's Trump. It's got to be him because he's going to call them out. And my mom was God bless her in heaven. She was right. And so that's why with JD Vance, what do you see with him everywhere? Now we talked yesterday about some missteps that I think his campaign has made, but clearly he should win this. I agree. And as far as CBS, they will be front and center tonight to things. How will they approach fact checking and then also their history of being anti Trump? Mediate.com with a good breakdown. As they say, the following CBS news has opted for a quote unique approach that blends fact checking with a more hands off managing of the candidates. CBS moderators will leave it to Democrat Tim walls and Republican JD Vance to take the lead in fact checking one another throughout the 90 minute debate at CBS news studios in New York moderators, however, may step in to offer clarifications. If facts go unchecked, which is something we should all have our little tally board out for tonight, because as we know, ABC news fact checked Trump five times, Kamala Harris zero times, or they say, if something quote egregious is said, the source noted, quote, the goal of a debate is for the candidates to debate and to hold one another accountable. And CBS news is going to provide opportunities for that. The source said a debate is not an interview and the format is different elsewhere. CBS will now this is going to be interesting. I'm going to actually have to check this during a break or check it when I get home tonight before I sit down to watch the debate. CBS will provide real time fact checking of the proceedings. The CBS news confirmed unit consisting of get this forensic journalists and data experts will be verifying claims and addressing misinformation on a live blog on social media and in post debate coverage of the network. So there's got to be some website you probably can find it if you search for it, or maybe it'll be on one of their their official Twitter or X feeds. But they're basically going to have the CBS news confirmed unit. They're calling it the CNNU where they will be doing all this in real time. So, you know, maybe you've got your TV set up and you have your laptop next to you. I'll be typing notes for the big take. You can pull up this fact checking thing regardless of whether the two moderators fact check or the two combatants fact check each other. If I'm if I'm, you know, comprehending this correctly, it seems almost like a live running ticker of who's saying things that are not accurate. And this obviously comes after what happened with ABC, where this source told media in regards to CBS's debate tonight. Quote ABC news went too far. They became the story. And that's the thing. When you're the moderators, you're the referee, you're the umpire, you don't want to be the story. It's about the players, it's about the teams, it's about the coaches, it's about the candidates. It's about those in the debate. So with that being said, we've seen two debates. We've seen CNN to their credit. We were, I think, very fair. I think we all agreed that Jake Tapper and Dana Bash were as close down the middle as you can be for CNN. And then we saw the egregious acts of David Ware and Lindsey Davis on ABC news. What do we expect tonight from CBS? I can't imagine that those suits at that network, even with their anti-Trump history, which we will give you the receipts in a moment, they cannot afford to have the same reaction on Tuesday or Wednesday, October 2nd that America had after what ABC had. Do you trust CBS to get it right as far as down the middle? First of all, as far as CBS, they're doing something, they're trying something new with innovation. So there's going to be a scanable code on screen that will direct you to an online fact checking page. Also, that's how you get it. Okay. So they'll have it up on the screen. And this has never been done before. But to your point about, you know, I think that they're reacting to ABCs. They're already number three in the ratings. So they don't want to go any lower. They're losing, you know, they're basically demoting Nora. She's losing her job as of, I think, January or contracts up. And then she'll go to an undisclosed or unknown post. And basically that means living out of contract. So they've got, they have major ratings troubles. They don't want to have the criticism, nor can they afford it that ABC had. So they learned from that. And this will be interesting. So what does that mean? If you scan the code on screen, who is fact checking behind the scenes? Who's fact checking the fact check? So I always ask that question. And I don't have that answer. So you scan with a QR code on your phone, on your TV. Yes. And then you can get that updated information on your phone while you're watching the television. Yes. While you're simulcasting and listening to us on the talk radio 1210. And so if I'm, you know, if I'm with either campaign, then I'll have a counter. I want to have a counter code and fact check the fact checkers. Yep. This debate is not even going to be close, in my opinion. I think JD Vance is very good at this. I think he's, he's very smart and without fact checking to kind of get in the way of him, you know, rolling. I can see him steamrolling Tim Walz. And Tim Walz has already kind of downplaying it and saying, well, I'm kind of bad at debates and I'm nervous. You know what I mean? Which, which could also be a little rope dope. Good. But I think Tim Walz is more of a dope than the rope. So I, I really see, I really see JD Vance doing numbers on Tim Walz tonight. That being said, that being said, I don't know how much of it matters. The grid? At this point. Why not? I think Don's right. Every little bit helps. It can change the momentum. It can change the, it can change the media narrative, what everybody's talking about the next day or for the next couple of days. So in that sense, I guess it could work. But this is going to be people will watch this and nobody's ever made up their mind because of a vice president, you know, I mean, 90% of people couldn't name the vice presidents that are running with the candidates. So true. Yeah. They don't, most people don't live it, like, and breathe it every day. Like we do. But this is the time of the year where people are back in and checked in, right? We said this all summer. Eventually people will get back to their routine and they'll be checking in to get caught up. Well, it's catch up time, right? It's October 1st. So catch up. No mustard, please. That's right. Mustard from the census. Double water. I think you're right, though. People are hungry for information. And if you look at the ratings from the last and only debate, I guess you could say with this current. Well, there will be another debate at the end of this month with with with faux Trump and faux Kamala. So just remember that. So I mean, I think I saw a poll over the weekend that 64% of Americans wanted another debate between Trump and Harris. We're obviously not going to get that. At least it doesn't appear to be the case. But you are getting their number twos tonight, which is interesting. But again, because you look at the dynamic, you have two middle class guys, although quick or two that were, you know, raised poor, whatever you want to call it, Kamala tries to say I was raised in middle class child. People are sick of hearing that. Nobody believes that anyway. But JD Vance is a guy who ended up becoming an Ivy League educated Yale attorney. And then you have his counterpart, Tim Walz, which I if CNN is accurate in one of those clips that I played, Tim Walz has bragged as a teacher that his children have never been accepted to an Ivy League institution, which I would think if you're an educator and a teacher, you would probably want your kids to end up at Harvard or, you know, that would be very rewarding for you. You feel like, you know what, you let them down that path. Now truth be told, I actually, you know what, I kind of agree with Tim Walz on this, because after what we've seen with the anti semitism and the restrictions on free speech in the Ivy League, I don't want anybody going to the Ivy League. I can't stand those institutions anymore. So I think that's interesting. Plus the stolen valor stuff. You have to, and I don't want to make age, age a factor, but you have to put in, you have to take into consideration that JD Vance is really, really good at media. He's really good. I've said that for months now. Like, he does these interviews. He's right there. He's firing. He's concise. He's he's just, he's, he looks at you. He answers all the questions. He like, he's very good at that. That's quite emotional. And, and, and his, his, his age will be a factor for me. He's a 39 or 40. He's like, you know, he's, he's right there in the prime and he's just, he's not going to let anything. I don't think he's nervous about this. I don't think he's scared about this. I heard, uh, what's his name? Amherst is playing, was playing, uh, walls for, uh, debate prep. Um, I, I think he's going to be ready. And I think, I think that Tim walls will try and, you know, be the nice guy. And, and I think he's going to get steamrolled. If he immediately comes out with joy, hope and change and turn the, if he comes out rehearsed and scripted and memorized with Kamala's words, it's over. It's going to take all of two minutes for anybody that's been paying attention that have heard the same tired rhetoric of Kamala legitimately the same speech, the same script everywhere she goes. If Vance just regurgitates that, just check your social media feed at 903. You'll already know what people believe as far as who won the debate. Uh, let me grab Jeremy to wrap up the hour. He's in media. He's got some thoughts on the debate. Jeremy, you go right ahead. Hi. Well, the show. Good morning. Good morning. So I think that this VDP debate is extremely important. And here's why. There is an extreme vulnerability with both of these candidates, Donald Trump is 78 years old and his, his, his safety, unfortunately. Um, Harris is, is, has a lot of inadequacy. So the question is, you know, when you look at somebody like the VPs, is JD Vance a person that can run the country? Is JD Vance a person that we would want to run the country? I mean, I think so, but, and then you look at walls and you say, well, he has more political experience than any of them, but look at his, look at the policies that he's done and look what he's done in Minnesota. I don't, I'm not really impressed. So I just feel, I just feel that people should really look at these VPs as being people that, you know, are at some point going to have to be instrumental in the campaign and, um, in the administration. And I think it's very important. Yeah, no, it's actually a really good point, Jeremy, because if, if JD walls has a unbelievably good night tonight, we're events or JD Vance, JD walls, Tim Vance against JD walls. Who wins tonight? If JD Vance has a great night, I can guarantee you there are going to be some Trump supporters that are saying right there, that man, he's the error parent. JD Vance is a combat war veteran who signed up and fought in the Iraq war. And I think that that's something that I hope they ask about military experience because walls obviously lied about his, that's stolen valor. And I hope that they bring that up more than they keep bringing up with CNN keeps bringing up is the issue of the Haitian migrants, although they will bring that issue up. Oh, they will. But I think for JD Vance, if you look at him and really, yes, he is not an experienced politician. He's a junior senator from Ohio. So if you look at what are the qualifications for a commander in chief, his is that he is a combat war veteran. And yes, he went to Ohio State. Yes, he graduated Yale Law School. Yes, he's very bright. But by all accounts, Greg, you brought up age. You never would have brought up age. If you talked about, let's say Donald J. Trump, when he was 60 years old, so it always depends on the person to your point. Tim walls is 60, and he looks older than Biden. Yeah, I mean, it's unbelievable. And by the way, too, as far as the Haitian situation, if I'm JD Vance, I am very, very careful with how I answer that question, because if it becomes about cats and dogs, I'm telling you what the media is going to do. He's not going to make it about cats. Okay, better not. He won't. He'll he'll reference what he said on the Senate floor when he showed statistics about the humanitarian crisis. And he did do that and that went viral. They should have stuck with that one. Yep. And the whole, you know, dog and cat thing just went crazy, you know, went viral. But the truth is JD Vance on the Senate floor, anybody can look it up. He went through a whole thing where he talked about the fact that they just don't have the resources for individuals. Yes, many of them are there legally invited because they're they're fleeing a gang ridden violent place in Haiti. But the problem is too many folks came during this current administration and and flooded it. They just they they have homeless people living in people's yards. They can't help. They can't service people. 855 839 1210. Donald have some news to kick off our number two will continue getting you set for the debate on the other side.

We'll get to that coming up before the cut sheet. But right now, let's get to the news. Round number two at 706, the great Dawn Stensland. Good morning. This Tuesday morning, this is October 1st for us. 62 degrees and we are cloudy with a chance of some spattering. I'll tell you when will the sun, when the sun will emerge this morning sponsored this morning in killing company News Live. We are sponsored by the American Dental Implant and Lumineers Center because we want you to smile, especially with the sunshine, great stalker. So let's look at the news this morning, getting an update on what happened in the eastbound area section of Philadelphia yesterday afternoon around dinnertime around dinnertime because this was a door dash driver. So that word from police that the victim targeted in the eastbound area section of the city, which is not a high crime area of the city. So this is a little bit unusual. He's a door dash, food delivery driver. He was working at the time of the shooting. He had parked his car, was getting out of his vehicle when he saw somebody approaching him with a gun and so he was trying to get away from that gunman semi-automatic gunfire. So in this case, we have a man in critical condition after being shot and targeted here. According to Philadelphia police, they say they found a 29 year old man laying face down suffering from those gunshot wounds to his back. So this door dash driver rushed to the hospital and this morning he's in critical condition. Guys probably just trying to make a little extra money on the side and he ends up on the wrong end of a gun exchange. Now was he the targeted guy or was that just by accident? That's what it sounds like. So was this a case of an attempted robbery or attempted carjacking or was this a case of mistaken identity? I don't have that information. They do because it's a residential area. They have a lot of those ring doorbell cameras. They're trying to review everything. I think I've only ever used a door dash or a grub hub one time and it was probably multiple years ago. They don't carry cash though, right? It's all paid via the app. Yes, that's correct. So why would you try to rob somebody that's paid electronically? Stupid. Yeah. I mean, I really don't know that that's what police are just trying to piece this together. By the way, you've only used door dash or grub hub or once. Yeah. I mean, if I get delivery and I don't even pick up, I don't even get my pizza delivered anymore because of the extra charges. Plus where I'm in bluebell, all the pizza places are like six blocks away. So I just drive down the six blocks to get it and save the five. Honey, I'll go get it. You don't have to worry about the girls girls. You can stay here with mom. Daddy needs to go out and get some fresh air. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah. Yeah. You're doing it to get out of the house. That is correct. I get sure. And save money. But no, I just know I don't use those apps because there's a charge for that too. I love the cosmos tomato pie. So that's what you have to do. We have to go have a beer next door. Maybe McNally's. You can get the pie from there. We can meet and chess at Hill. Yeah, let me know. I'll sneak out of the house. Yes. Both of you are sneaking out. There's somebody a bus. Yes. Don't like it. Don's like, yeah, it's it's cool. I'll go pick up the pie. No, no, no, no. What? Save your money. It's fine. It's fine. Somebody will see Don and I, but hey, what are you guys doing here? What are you doing? We just, we just, I was a little bit around our spouses or our kids. A couple of years ago, I was so against those, those delivery services because they just charge and absorb an amount of money. Yeah. But now I see a lot of people are using it for like their jobs job. So like, I feel like I'm helping the economy by doing it. Oh, well, look at you. You're like, you're the stalker stimulus. Yeah, I don't know. Like, I know a lot of people who, you know, lost their jobs or are using it as as a second job. And like, they're like, we really, you know, we really depend on good tips to, to, you know, keep going. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm all for people. You know, we've talked about tipping culture a ton, but I, you know, I'm paying $22 for a pizza now from a place. Then there's the delivery charge. Then there's the tip. And I got to pay a door dash fee. Should I finance this pizza? Can I, can I get interest free for 18 months? I will tell you at a lot of places, like we get delivery from cosmos. If you call the place directly, yes, not using the third party. Right. Whatever happened picking up the phone and calling you'll be your number 25. If it's like a mom and pop place like that, I'm with you, Don. I will just go right to the place and save you guys deliver. Yeah. Like a pizza. There's, there's a great pizza place by us that always delivers to us. So we don't use door dash, but for like to pull layer stuff like that. It's so easy. You can just, they bring it right to your doorstep. I mean, what's better? I mean, you don't know what's on the other side, but it's amazing. I can't think about the difference here on this show. This is why this show is so great. I can't wait to leave the house. Stalker doesn't want to emerge from his house. It's true. It's right. I don't, I like, I like having the convenience of having things delivered right in my door. I do too. I like, I use Amazon. So speaking of your time, do we either you do groceries delivered? No, I'm doing Aldi now. Thanks to Dawn's great recommendation. Dawn Stansland, you don't do groceries? Every once in a while. Every once in a while, I'll do delivery from Walmart. Yeah, which I love. That's right. Walmart is, they have a great job with delivery or, or maybe Target or maybe Giant or Acme every once in a while, but not usually. Yeah. Yeah. Because I want specific things. Right. And I like to pick my own produce. Oh, I love to fill up the produce. That's right. Is it ripe? Is it too smooshy? How are the tomatoes? How are the peaches? That's right. I'm, I'm big for squeezing produce. Well, we're talking about dock workers began picketing before sunrise this morning here locally, Port of Philadelphia early this morning hours after the International Longshoreman's Association. This is ILA announced as we've been telling you, it's workers would go on strike. Well, they did 1201 stroke of midnight. And so this impacts all major ports along the East Coast, the Gulf Coast. We're talking about 45,000 workers from Texas to Maine. And they want better pay. They want job security. They are against and worried about any kind of automation, AI, that sort of thing. And so they say that this, the deals thus far, the authors so far, fell short of what ILA rank and file members are demanding in wages and protections against automation. And so the shipping industry group represents terminal operators as well as ocean carriers. They're prepared for the long haul they say. Okay. So they're picketing. The local stations have been watching their they all have reporters out there on Packer Ave, Marine Terminal South Philadelphia. They're carrying signs with, you know, written messages, no work without a fair contract. Automation hurts families. We stand for job protection. What are they trying to automate? That's a good question. I think that the future is robots that robots will unload will unload everything. Yeah. Unloading and loading. That's why yesterday it was crazy because they had this rush yesterday. Like here in Philadelphia, there were stories mid morning and throughout the afternoon, they were rushing to get everything off loaded. Do you know what I'm saying? Because they knew this was happening. Yeah, Elon Musk has made a great point about automation. And it's interesting because he uses some of it. But he says, we have to be careful with how much AI is implemented because while it might be cost effective for these companies, you got to remember these robots don't put the money back into the economy, right? You might be like, that's the thing about having human beings as you pay them and then they go spend their money. And robots don't do that. Very astute point from Elon Musk a couple days ago. Yeah. I mean, look, we, you know, times, times, unfortunately, you're changing and you, you know, you can get people to do or you can get robots or machines to do some jobs and do that. You need to adapt. Yeah. Right. I mean, I hate to say that, but it's true. So if video killed, the radio started AI killed music radio hosts. Well, that's the question. Because they can't artificially create what we do here. So they can, oh, yes, they can. That's the scary part. I will stand up against the machine and the man. Yeah. That's the scary part. In fact, we're going to have a Michael Palka. If you're listening, AI, Nick Kale, let's get on that right now. And see it. See how long we can see how long we can sustain a segment. Good luck with your little board replicating what this guy does. All right. See, and that's in truth. That's why every once in a while, Nick will throw in a ram, you know, a ran instead of run, right, or an octogen area for somebody that's a hundred. True story. No joke. That's right. I could be perfect, but I try to resonate with the common man. So I purposely have in this house. Don't worry. You are, you are the, you are the ultimate enabler. Oh, yeah. I've never met a human being who enables like you do. So by the way, Pennsylvania Governor, Josh Shapiro, just, I know that we'll talk about this on a national scale with the strike. Governor Josh Shapiro speaking out yesterday, saying that he hopes both sides will work toward a deal urging the union and us mx to quote, stay at the table. I'll point out to you, these negotiations, they haven't negotiated face to face according to these reports in good faith since June. So we knew this was happening. Mm hmm. You know, this. Now we're just left to tolerate and deal with it, right? And so we just have to suck it up now if we, the, we, the common focus screwed here. So according to Zipper Cruder, um, Longshoreman make between 13 and $20 an hour. So that's it. According to Zipper Cruder. Yeah. These are not a longshoreman salary in Philadelphia. It's about $16 an hour on average. So they want, they want at least, you know, they want at least 77% more than that. Yeah. Part of that is because of inflation. Yeah. How are these people not making 25 30 bucks an hour? Like God. Well, again, guys, if, if, if a, if a robot can come in and do this job. Oh, I get it. Yeah. Yeah. But I just saw, um, when I went to speaking of Aldi Don, I go to Aldi yesterday on Sunday, they had a sign up saying they were hiring at 18, 50 an hour. Not that that's anything good. But I mean, 18, 15 hour to just sit there in that little chair and scan groceries, you get these people are making between 13 and 20 an hour. I look, I'm just going by what, what, what I see on zipper cruder.com, um, as far as salaries go. So yeah, I'm sure somebody's gonna tell it. No, they, we, no, they make way more than that. I'm just going with what the internet tells me. All right. In other news, we mentioned this earlier this morning as far as Pete Rose, obviously a Philadelphia icon when you think of our Phillies back in the 80s, but Pete Rose, all time hits leader was banned from baseball for betting on the sport, not here in Philadelphia, but he has died at the age of 83 that from his family, Philadelphia Phillies, releasing a statement. Obviously he helped the fills to one of our two world championships during his five seasons here in Philadelphia, 1979 to 1983. And Philadelphia Phillies saying that he certainly was an integral role in bringing the team to its first World Series championship. That was one of the statements made by the Phillies in a statement they released last night. Yep. And Pete's now in the afterlife, listening on the Odyssey app, waiting for Stalker's next fan to lead. He's in a place of parlay up above and the basketball world losing an icon when the Kimby Matombo died at just 58 years old. I know. Not only a star on the court, a memorable figure, family man, for both his, you know, humanitarian work, that one crazy commercial that he had. So he grew up in the Democratic Republic of Congo and didn't play basketball until he was 16 years old, but made his mark over 18 season NBA eight all star selections for defensive player of the year awards inducted into the basketball hall of fame 2015. Great piece to that '01 sixer team that went to the finals with Iverson. Yes, Ellen Iverson. I was there. So two major sports stories that we're following for you this morning. And then of course looking to the storm aftermath and it's the clean up and the death toll is rising following historic hurricane turned tropical storm Helene. So striking obviously making landfall in Florida last Thursday and then going in inland to the Carolina's Tennessee and beyond. So six different states. Asheville, North Carolina, hard hit. We've talked about 400 miles from where the storm made landfall, but a wide, wide path of destruction and death across the southeast. More than 132 people dead in those six states, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Trump in Georgia yesterday. And the Biden administration announcing that President Joe Biden will visit North Carolina at some point. I believe that will be tomorrow afternoon. He will be visiting, you know, the devastation in North Carolina. Just awful. Like the footage they get. The one that really stands out to most of all of them is Asheville, North Carolina. Yeah. I mean, that area is just ravaged. I, you don't, I want to say this without being, you know, mean, but how, how do you think this is going to affect voting in North Carolina in the November election? I saw people yesterday trying to say that this is the Katrina moment. No, it's not. It's not. It's not. I don't know that I feel that Katrina was like thousands died. You know what I mean? Right. This is not anywhere close to Katrina. I agree. I'm just curious about, and again, there's still people. There's still a lot of people at a counter for missing. So I'm not trying to trivialize this. I'm just putting it, taking it back to where we are. I'm just curious about how this will, like, will they give them, because I think, I think in 2018, there was some sort of natural disaster that delayed voting a little bit for one of the midterm elections. So I'm wondering if this will be the same. Now, are you asking, well, will it have an impact on November 5th or will it be brought up on tonight's debate? No, it's definitely going to be brought up on tonight's debate. I'm more worried about, I'm more wondering about if this will affect voting in North Carolina in those western areas. I mean, North Carolina and Georgia are two of the three states that Trump needs to win. If he wants to win the election, he just needs to win three of the seven swing states and Trump has already beaten Kamala Harris to the punch in both states. Hurricane Helene, there is a headline 13 hours ago on NBC News that Hurricane Helene has scrambled mail and early voting plans in North Carolina. So it's delaying the flooding, delayed or destroyed mail ballots. It's a great, great question, you ask, Greg, and so you're correct in just wondering this out loud, that it destroyed mail ballots. So they started out, they were supposed to be going out, but now this has forced the closings of several county election offices. So will this lead to more in-person voting in North Carolina and some of these other five states? In North Carolina, they're saying yes, in western North Carolina, which is where, by the way, Biden is headed. Yep. So officials mailed 190,000 ballots last week, but now they're saying many, obviously, were probably destroyed by the flooding. Yeah. This is kind of a double edged sword, right? If you're a Republican that doesn't trust mail in ballots, you probably like this. Now we have to go November 5th, but if you took advantage of early voting so far, and I don't know if you mentioned the dates for those two states, what do you do now? Do you have to see, like, well, cancel that? Or are you going to let me know it was canceled so I can still go vote in person? I mean, the entire, almost the entire area of Asheville right now has no running water. I know. So the last thing on their mind is voting, and, you know, if they're still struggling to get water back up and power and all that stuff, like, when is the postal service going to start running again? And they probably also couldn't care less about tonight's debate because they have no access to watch it. I have a friend, I have a friend who lives down in that area, and they set all the roads in and out, like, the major roads in and out of Asheville are completely either washed away or blocked with debris. Yeah, and they look like rivers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So in obviously North Carolina, battleground state, we've talked a lot about early in person voting is scheduled to begin October 17th across more than 400 locations across North Carolina. And so will those by October 17th, I mean, today's October 1st. So you bring up a great point. Physically, you know, can they, they're going to have, they're already talking about staffing issues because people, this is an emergency and they don't have power. They don't have water. People's homes were washed away or unlivable. Yep. And we still haven't had the October surprise yet. Yeah. So maybe this is the October surprise. Yeah. I mean, in a horrifying way, obviously. Yeah. It's, you know, it's, it's very interesting because you're going to get a lot of people who are not going to, you know, want to vote care, you know what I mean? Like their, their homes are swept away. You know what I mean? So, yeah, election officials in other states affected by the hurricane, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee, they're also speaking out about this and they're saying that they face challenges. Not as, I mean, North Carolina, I think is the worst hit, but all of these other states. And then you think about rural areas. And then you think about, you know, who's affected maybe people who don't have money, maybe, you know, poor, maybe poor people. And so, how does that impact folks if they don't have transportation, housing, etc. So it's, that this will be an important issue. And, and like I say, we'll probably know more because the national media will follow Biden there tomorrow. So we'll probably get our best sense of this tomorrow. Yeah. Yep. I would imagine. So just so much happening as we look through that as well. We're sponsored this morning by American Dental Implant and Luminere's Center. Improve your smile with Luminere's Dr. Hindball of the American Dental Implant and Luminere's Center is our area's only certified Luminere's dentist.

We're looking for our fills watching for, as we, we talked about Charlie, or excuse me, we talked about Pete Rose and his passing thinking about the fillies in a World Series, how long ago it was. So we're watching very closely with the Brewers, Matt's, right? Correct. And so the choices tonight. Yeah, tonight at 5.30. So we're watching to see which one of those we will be facing off with and dreaming of our own World Series championship with our fills. The forecast, what a, what a lovely forecast moving into the weekend. Today and tomorrow, we still, I'm sorry, Greg, we still have to contend with not bright sunny skies, but you will, yeah, not bright, but you will see the sun. The sun will maybe, maybe a glimpse of it today, maybe, maybe like a 10% chance to see the sun, 70 degrees today, a little spattering, yes, more of that annoying drizzle today, 70 degrees. Tomorrow, the sun does come out partly sunny, 72 degrees. And then for your Thursday, 76 degrees, we begin a warm up between Thursday through Sunday. So Thursday, Friday, Saturday, that's the warm up, Thursday, 76, Friday, 79, Saturday, 78 degrees, all mostly or more sunshine than clouds. And then Sunday is really the perfect day. Bright, sunny skies, 75 degrees. Enjoy the sunny stretch once it begins tomorrow, because next Monday and Tuesday, we go back to that dreary, rainy pattern of raw, rainy weather in the upper to mid 60s and rain starting next Monday. So enjoy the sunny stretch, killing company news live. All right, Don, thank you very much. 85 5 8 3 9 12 10, cut sheet in just about 20 minutes before we get there up next, Tim walls, five biggest lies. How much of that should JD Vance put in his repertoire tonight? Or should he stick to the issues and CBS news with a long history of anti Trump bias? We'll give you those six moments when we continue killing company, talk radio 12 10 W. PhD. This is the killing company podcast from talk radio 12 10 W. PhD and on the free Odyssey app and your own talk radio 12 10 and you go right ahead. Well, I'll tell you what, when I get up, it's dark, but you guys always like my spark. You know, you're really you're really I was actually going to leave you out the dry there and make you feel awkward. But you really put some thought on to this and so I appreciate that. Thanks, sir. Hey, absolutely. Nick Don and Greg, oh, he's got my spark going. So here's the deal. You know what? If Tim Walsh gets tagged by Vance with some of his, you know, camp on Tim, stolen valor, let's let a city burn. Let's, you know, and his wife saying, I'm opening up the windows. The smell of the tires burn it. I think that will change a few votes. So you think he should do that or you think he should stick to the issues because stolen valor is great. It's valid. You know, bringing up the Haitian stuff probably won't work. Now, as far as the whole tampon thing, again, that hasn't been verified. So I think what if Vance stays on policy and issues and then throws in the stolen valor, to me, that's the right balance, Ed. And I couldn't agree with you more, but I'm just pointing out a few things that I'm hoping he tags him with because this guy, in my opinion, is nothing short of a whack job like the other whack job that's running. Yep. I agree. I think Tim Walls is definitely a clown. I appreciate the call, Ed. So when we talk about Tim Walls and the five biggest lies, Blaze Media put together his top five lives. And I think you can bring up all of these. Number one, first and foremost, the way the blaze phrases this, the most obvious line of attack is the stolen valor claim. We've talked about that. We've covered that. Here's the other four that he can bring up. Although I do think he needs to be careful with number three. We'll get to that in a moment. Number two, he says, the blaze says as far as Tim Walls and the five biggest lies. Then there's the time he blamed the mayor of Minneapolis for the deadly rioting in the city. They go on to say no joke. He went to the torched city where a police precinct was among dozens of buildings destroyed by a criminal mob and slammed city officials when the mayor produced his text messages and phone calls, begging for the governor to send in the national guard. Walls as people said, those don't count as a quote formal request. Grammar and formal requests, truly amazing stuff. I think you can bring that up. Here's the one thing that you can bring up. But I think this opens up the can of worms for Roe v. Wade and abortion. Now Tim Walls has been documented as lying about the whole as the way the blaze phrases this. And then there's the whole IVF thing in vitro fertilization is a big part of Walls's identity. It featured prominently in his DNC debut as a personally outraged story to highlight Republicans push to outlaw the fertility treatment. Democrat aligned reporters lapped it up. NBC aired a story about his family's seven year IVF journey. Taxpayer funded NPR called Walls, a new kind of reproductive messenger. The problem is that the whole thing was a lie. Walls and his wife never used IVF and other children were conceived through it. Further, no Republican of any note has called for outlawing the process yet another blatantly political lie. Politically helpful lies are a near constant for Walls. So let me just stop right there. Does and Don you always handle this subject much better than Greg and I do as the female of the show. I think any female can handle handle this subject better than a man for the most part. Does this Tim does JD Vance have to be careful about bringing up the IVF lie because you know the CBS monitors will eventually get to abortion. So does he have to wait for that moment or does he just re clarify Trump's position on making it a state issue? I feel like that's a delicate thing. If you attack Walls on the IVF lies, it's almost like the media is going to gang up on you for that. And I don't think you want that out in the news cycle. Well, Trump has said that he supports in vitro fertilization. He's come out. He said he even suggested that insurance insurance companies should cover more of it because back in the day when it was maybe a newer or new ish technology, insurance companies did cover more of it. And depending on which insurance company you have, they may not cover it and it can be expensive. So Trump has suggested it should be covered by insurance. So this lie that Trump does not support in vitro fertilization, it's just a lie. Okay. He came out and he said, I support IVF and that it's a great pathway and that he believes in fact, insurance companies should cover more of it to help families. Speaking of that subject, number four, the fourth lie, Tim Walls is also falsely alleged that Trump wants to create a government agency to monitor women's pregnancies to prevent abortions. That has been fact checked. That is not true. And then lastly, number five, there's the time that Walls claimed that school children in Minnesota didn't miss more than 10 days of school during COVID when in reality, he ordered the schools closed for the rest of the school year. You can read the details of all of those five lies that the blaze fact checked at the blaze's website. And then we flip it back to CBS news as we wrap here before we get to the cut sheet CBS news with a long history of anti-Trump bias. And this goes back to what are we going to see tonight? Are we going to see CBS kind of take a page from ABC's playbook and obviously try not to hide their bias. Only fact check Vance not fact check Walls will it be hostility or really be more like CNN back on June 27th when they stayed out of it and let Trump and Biden do their thing. Obviously, you have the Leslie Stahl situation from 2020 when she interviewed Donald Trump. Remember, we've played this clip many times, whether it's the cut sheet or the big take about the laptop of Hunter Biden and Leslie Stahl kept trying to say, well, we've never verified that. Ultimately, CBS news verifies it in 2022. Katherine Harridge, one of those individuals along with Miranda divine other moments of CBS bias. Gayle King is a previous Kamala Harris donor. And she has repeatedly interviewed and defended Kamala Harris over the years. You have CBS news in September of 2023 admitting to editing unflattering Harris commentary in an interview exchange with one of the debate moderators, Margaret Brennan. So we have that is number three. By the way, you can read this at Fox news.com. Number four, the moment of CBS bias against Trump in favor of Harris, when Margaret Brennan and O'Donnell both came out and chastised Trump after the July assassination attempt in Butler, PA saying he needs to quote lower the temperature. Number five, Margaret Brennan defending Harris from Trump's false attack. When they were talking about, uh, this was the full blown communist comments right after she rolled out her first economic policy on price gouging. Margaret Brennan once again went to the defense of Kamala Harris. And then lastly, this was just recently when Margaret Brennan sat down with an interview with JD Vance. We've mentioned JD Vance has done as of about two weeks ago, 59 interviews on all of the Sunday shows far and away, more visible, more vocal than Trump walls and Harris in the public sector of interviews. And she got really combative and snippy with JD Vance during their most recent interview. So as we wrap up here, do we have any reason to believe that CBS will get it right and play it down the middle? Or are they as tainted as ABC, which by the way, keep in mind, we knew this going into the ABC debate. Remember this, they had 100% positive spin score coverage of Kamala Harris on ABC's evening news with David Muir and a 93% negative spin score rate on Donald Trump. CBS news, I feel like they need to get it right. They need to be impartial. They need to be right down the middle, Don. But I have no reason to believe that they will be based on the track record. We just laid out. I think that for Nora O'Donnell, whose contract is up and she's being demoted off the anchor desk. Well, she cares. She go down with the ship that I guns a blazer. That's just it. She burned the village down. So will she go all will so she could go either way? In other words, if she's depends on where her agent is looking or who she's talking to, right? She wanted another network gig. You might want to play it straight down the middle, right? And so if you can prove that you're a tough interviewer, but you are respectful, that you're a person of integrity, does that raise her ranking? Or does she go all left? So I think Margaret Brennan, generally speaking, even though they all skew left, I think Margaret is pretty good. And I think usually she tries to play it down the middle, but she's very tough. She's very smart. As far as Nora O'Donnell, she has shown more bias in my opinion, but I think she will be on her best behavior because she's months away from being demoted. I mean, they've essentially told her your number three, you're failing in the ratings. And so we're going to reassign you. And when you're told that as an anchor, that's that's the, you know, the third rail or whatever you want to say. So she is going, I think going to be on her best behavior to try to be fair. Yeah, sucks when you're number three. By the way, guys, another good month, right? Paul is in Westchester. Paul, you go right ahead, sir. Thanks to taking my call. Sure. Don't like to do numbers. First, let me start with this. Hate, hate, hate, fear, fear, fear, fear, hate. So you guys promote that a lot. But also, let me ask you about, you said about the patience. And like Don said, this was possible of fake news. You didn't say it was fake like that. I mean, Greg, can I get one of those? Stop getting our news from Twitter. I say that all. Yeah. Can we stop getting our news from Twitter? There you go, Paul. Thank you. Thank you, Greg. You're welcome. All right. So now here it is. You do the numbers, Don, even when Trump came in office, how many refugees came in? So as 1.5 million. So out of this, what about the Afghanistan, all the mother nations, Ukrainian, they don't all speak English. However, it's not going to people fall in Haitians that they can speak three different languages, French, Creole, and English. Who in a day's time does not know how to speak English? So also, they revitalize this town, but yet and still, let me, I'm very yoke all this together. So when I, that being said, what's the difference that stand out between 1.5 million that came and compared to these 15,000? So if you were to sit there and put them all in blonde hair and blue eyes, like Fox News, do, as you know, Nick, that you watch on the regular, all blonde hair blue eyes. They look good. From your standards. So from, if you were to put the Haitians and blind hair blue eyes, I mean, blind hair, what would stand out? So let's think of this. Well, let me ask you this. But let's just separate the, you're talking about the Haitians. And then are you talking about 15,000 murderers? Or are you talking about 15 million illegals? Which one are you talking about? I just want to make sure I got your numbers right. Okay, you were saying that it came in 1.5 refugees came in during the time and it was 15,000. So you do the percentage. That's almost less than 1% of the people out of refugees. But yet you are still picking up these Haitians. But you have to look at the popular, but Paul, you have to look at the population of that town. This is a town. If you're talking about 15,000 in a city of 60,000, that's a very big ratio. I mean, we're not talking 15,000 people in New York City where they've got like 8, 9, 12 million people, whatever it is. We're talking, you know, Bumble, F Springfield, Ohio. I mean, it's like, it's like bluebell. Listen, I want to clarify because Paul brought me into it. When I reported on the people from Haiti, what I said in Ohio, they came here legally. They were invited, the vast majority of people. Yeah. Let me just repeat this. They were invited by that Ohio town where they had, they needed workers. And as well, there was a connection between churches in Haiti that were trying to help Haitians who were fleeing a gang torn and violent torn country that has all kinds of unrest. The people from Haiti, the vast majority came from Haiti legally through a legal pathway invited. Which I don't think anybody has a problem with. The problem with that they're facing currently is that then with the open borders and so on, other people were coming over on top of that. Right. They don't have the infrastructure. They have a humanitarian situation that they've asked Congress to help with. So the Haiti issue is separate from the other issue. And I don't want to conflate the two. Because the other issue that we learned about on Friday was that 15,000 illegal folks who are not Haitian, right, who came over the border. That's what I was trying to make sense for these different numbers. And so Paul, I just want to say this because it's very important and there's a lot of confusion about this. The 15,000 number of convicted killers in their home countries and then another 13 plus thousand convicted rapists, they came into the country. They were deemed as they were going to be deported. But then they were let go into this country before they could get their court date. That is a separate issue from any issue of Haitians coming here legally invited by Ohio. So I just, I just want to clarify that. Yep. 855-839-1210. We'll come back, find out what's on the cut sheet, which will include Kamala Harris on a basketball podcast. The comments to this are great and we will have our thoughts as well. On top of other things in the cut sheet that soccer has lined up and you'll find out what's on it when we come back. Killing Company, Talk Radio 1210. It's a killing company on demand from Talk Radio 1210 WPHT and the free Odyssey app. 756 edition. Yeah, I think we're going to have to start pushing the country back to eight o'clock because it's, it's, it's, we, we cannot hit 745 to save our lives. No, no, we just fine. It's fine. It's good. You know, it's, you know, it's, it all starts, it all starts with the big take. You know what I mean? Like, like we, we do news for 18 minutes at the beginning and then the big take is 20. Yep. You know, but then we're off and running. If I, if I eclipse eight minutes on the big take, just kill my microphone and cut me off. They do that to Cavuto every day. He can never wrap his interview. They go right to the five. He's in mid sentence. That's amazing. He's been on TV since the Stone Age. Yeah. Unbelievable. Learn your hard outs, pal. Who might have said there? We have soft outs and I still can't hit them. It's true. Everybody who fills in on the show, there was like, what, what, what kind of clock do you have? Any clock in the business means, you know, or like, I don't know. We just, we just go until we stop. There's so much. Yeah. Clock, meaning we're on from this time to that time and then we break and we come back and usually if you hit it on time, you're typically doing a nice job. But Gary writes, just started 545 a.m. I know. We used to start at 530. Yeah, we're not starting at 530. I'm done. I'm done with that. Wait, what, what was 530? No, we started, we started 530. I didn't use a long time ago. Yeah. This wasn't like a pandemic thing, was it? No. No, it was before that because when I was when I was in Atlanta during the pandemic, the Odyssey Sports Station that I worked for move this the morning show, think about this. They went from 6 to 10 to 530 to 10 during the height of the pandemic when sports were on pause. Oh, man. Hugh Douglas is now doing the midday show down the hall on WIP. He said, wait a minute, was we got to do four and a half hours when there's no sports to talk about? Yep. He actually loved it. I'm sure he did. I'm sure you shine too. No, you know. All right. Let's get to. That was okay. No, I did. No, no, it was. Yeah. Let's find out what's on the cut sheet. What's on the cut sheet? What's on the cut sheet? The now eight o'clock cut sheet. What's on the cut sheet brought to you by Cherry Hill, Vava, where they have ample, ample inventory of brand new and beautiful pre-owned Vavos, enjoying the luxury experience you deserve. They always go to the extra mile for their customers because relationships matter at Cherry Hill, check them out on Route 70 in Cherry Hill, Cherry Hill, Vava, where relationships matter. Don Nick, you guys watch sports over the weekend. Did you notice Kamala? Well, it's they're not Kamala Harris as, but they're anti-Kamala Harris as by the Trump campaign hitting Harris for supporting taxpayer-funded sex change, sex change operations for prisoners. Yes. Yes. And I think even some Democrats have seen that and they're like, Oh, I didn't know she was that far left. I'm glad you said that. Charlemagne, the God who everybody foolishly said, could he be voting for Trump? There was no chance he was ever ready for Trump is now. He said on his show yesterday that he saw that he was like, wow, that was really effective. Cut one. So go tell you what that ad day was running during the football games this weekend claiming the vice president supports funding, gender transition surgeries for all prison inmates and migrants in the US. That was nuts. I don't know if it was enough, but that was crazy. I don't know if it was the backdrop of football, but when you hear the narrator say Kamala supports taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners. That one line, I was like, no, I don't want my taxpayer dollars going to that. Definitely see that she did that. That ad was effective. Kamala took a picture with the transgender. It was it was this what they were saying that it made it seem like Kamala supports transgender sex changes in jail with our money. That's what it came across. Isn't that what they're saying? That was, yes, it's that it literally said that Kamala supports taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners. And it talks about how she supports funding, gender transition surgeries for all prison inmates and migrants in the United States. That ad was impactful. There's no doubt about it. You're sitting there, you're binge watching football on a Saturday or a Sunday and you see that ad and you're not aware of what's going on. And you're an entry-level political observer and you see the Trump ad where they've got the headlines from the newspaper with the source, Washington Post or LA Times, whatever it might be, that resonates. There's no doubt. I agree with you. And if you're only it, some of these ads come on and they're so biting because it goes from like, beer commercial to this commercial to fun, you know, here's Snoop Dogg doing this. And then all of a sudden it's, Kamala Harris supports transgender operations for, and it just, you're like, what the hell is she? And then think about the the trifecta here. Not only does she support it for prison inmates, then on top of it, add in illegal immigrants that are in prison. So imagine that you, you come from another country, you're here illegally, you have a rap sheet in your old nation, you come here as a recidivist, a repeat offender, you do it again, you're in the can and you say, you know what, I want to cut off my genitalia. And Bob in San Francisco, who pays way too much on taxes to begin with, has to fund that. Yeah. Yeah. Look, it's all about getting, you know, what's the old saying, get people where they are. And if you're sitting on the couch, not following that much politics and you see that, you're like, hell no, you know what I mean? If it works on guys like that, it's, it's an effective ad. Um, do you get a transition? Philadelphia Center for Transgender Surgery says the price list mentions estimates of up to $140,000 to transition from male to female, $124,000 to transition from female to male. Yeah. So even if this is rare, just think about, you know, let's say you have a few or a handful or 10, I mean, you're looking at a minimum of $124,000 for a transition of one individual from $124,000 to down payment on a house. It's three vehicles from the Piazza auto group. And by the way, you know, not for nothing, but let's say somebody goes in and they say, well, I want a boob job, like a biologically born woman, but I want a vagina rejuvenation. Then what wouldn't it be discrimination? Yes. Wouldn't it be discrimination against a born female if you just wanted to get a little rejuvenation to feel, you know, female? Yeah. Look, as long as you're an adult and I'm not funding it, do what you want. If you're a minor, that's where I have a problem. And if it's coming on my tax dollars, that's where I have a problem. Vagina rejuvenations for all. Yes. We said that months ago on the show, we need to make vaginas great again. I totally endorse that. Next time we interview Trump, we'll say, Mr. President, you know, the Earth's administration wants to pay for transition surgeries for folks coming here illegally. What about, you know, vagina rejuvenation for just, you know, American women who want a little boost. 91LSX are on the YouTube chat wants to know why these transition centers are always next door to scrapple factories. Oh, all right. All right. 17. It's not right. Oh, God. See, don't you always take it one step too far. Everybody always accuses me or you, Nick, of being juvenile. And it's actually me a cheap trick. It's actually always done. Do you guys know, do you guys still know people who wear masks? You know, it's funny. Let me actually, uh, yeah, no, I have not personally seen anybody or know anybody. Oh, no, I should. I take that back. I don't know anybody that does, but I certainly do see it from time to time. So here's, here's my thing. I'm a germaphobe, like a huge germaphobe. I don't, I'm not, I wouldn't wear a mask for COVID. I don't care about COVID. I don't want the flu. I don't want any of that stuff. You know what I mean? So like, I don't, I don't wear masks. But if I did, it would be because I just hate germs and people. Okay. My sister, I wanted to make sure I got this right Sunday at 10.07 a.m. showed, uh, sent me a picture of a guy at giant wearing a kn95 mask. Oh, I see it all the time. Let me see if I don't know if we can zoom in here, Phil on the YouTube chat. You'll see the, there's the guy shot. Well, let's not, let's not actually let's not show his face. Well, you're not going to see his face. He's got a mask on and it's on a cell phone. Okay. You know, I do know what giant this is from. I've met different. The only thing I will say, I've met some people at events who, you know, they said there was something unusual. My child or a family member is battling cancer or went through a surgery or something, you know, to that effect where they just feel like they want to, you know, not bring stuff home. And, but truthfully, even before the pandemic every once in a while, you would meet somebody like that. There, there's something, you know, that's unusual and dramatic in somebody's life and even international travelers. Sometimes if they've traveled and then somebody had some immune issue, you see a lot of people in China and stuff wearing masks because that's their culture and stuff. Bill Mar did a funny bit on it over the weekend. This is cut three, Phil. Go. No, people who are still wearing masks in public in September of 2024 have to write the reason why on the mask. And here are the reasons we will accept. I have a cold. I have a cold sore. My lip piercing got infected. I'm Asian. I'm a huge and I've been in a I've been in a calmness since 2021. Wait, are we not still doing this? It's good. It's so good. And here's the thing. You talk about the people that I have cancer, I have this, I have that there's been countless studies that have been showed across the across the globe that are not put on broadcast television in this country that have showed that shown that match for AI. They don't, yes, masks don't work. So you sit here and say, well, I have an immune compromised. They don't work. The best doesn't know you're immune compromised. So if it's me or if it's somebody that's got four comorbidities currently, the mask offers the same lack of protection to all of us. It doesn't discriminate based on your current condition. But you know why you don't see these and we've given you these studies. They're done in Finland in Norway and all the and they do sample a versus sample would be and the results have showed that there was no noticeable difference in those who wore them and those who did not. But you know, why you don't see him here? Because as Anderson Cooper wraps up his monologue on COVID, what's the first commercial you see? Pfizer. Yeah, that's why. Yeah. You're your 100% then people are like, well, you're so you're being so inhumane. Look, I'm just telling you the facts. I'm sorry that you have cancer. My father-in-law had cancer and diabetes. I got the two shots because I was told I would spread it to him and I didn't want to be the guy that killed my father-in-law. And we find out it was not worth anything. I didn't do anything to help my father-in-law by me being vax because it had no impact on him. Dr. Love on the YouTube chat writes, Nick is our Pete Rose, banned from sports radio for life. That is correct, folks. All because much like Donald Trump, I put an R in front of my name as well. Yeah, I was just going to say that. It was risky. It was risky coming here. Yeah. As a man who likes to roll the dice, that's what I do. I take risks. Kamala Harris was on the All the Smoke podcast. I am not familiar with this, guys. Forgive me. I know a lot of podcasts, but I'm not familiar with this. Nick, can you just give me a little background on who? I don't know the podcast, but I know the guys who hosted them when they played basketball, Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes. I actually think Matt Barnes might have been a sixer for a brief period of time, but they were middle of the road solid NBA players. Stephen Jackson was a scorer and Matt Barnes was kind of an antagonist defensive player, and much like everybody these days, they have a podcast. She broke out her accent when she was talking to Stephen Jackson about being friends with somebody since kindergarten and how they used to go to. And I'm just saying how she says it. So don't don't shoot the messenger. She says, we should go to the clubs in a cooped ville. What are they? We had a girl that called in a couple of weeks ago. Is it code breaking, code speaking code code? It's code something code changing code switching code switching. Cut eight, Phil, go. Do you have people in your life who applaud your success? Do you have people in your life who you trust? Do you have people in your life who, when you trip and fall, they laugh with you, and then they pick you up and push you back out there? There are people that you know who will be those people if you choose to have them. I am blessed to have an incredible family and incredible friends. My best friend from kindergarten is still one of my best friends. Ask her. Thank you Johnson. We used to go to the clubs and her father's ville. And so I think that's part of it, right, because you do need the support to deal with it. And especially, I mean, people who are active on social media, it's hard out there. It's tough. And you have to find things like I love to cook. Yes, we know that she is. It's Kamala's kitchen. We should do like an SNL skit with Kamala's kitchen. I just how many more clips of that do you have, by the way, because I'm going to save these comments till we're done. Okay, okay. All right. But that one right there. Stephen Jackson is the guy on the left. Matt Barnes is on the right. Did you notice the the eye roll from Stephen Jackson there? You got to pick up one if you're watching when they show him. I don't know where that clip came from as far as the at what moment of the interview. I think Stephen Jackson might have been like, you know, on second thought, man, maybe we should have just had an athlete on. She busted out laughing. And there's silence from both of them. And you could hear the awkward silence where she stopped. They're like, wait, I guess that wasn't that funny. Yeah. See, that's the thing with all these podcasters. Even Joe Rogan, they're also low energy. I don't like listening to podcasters interview people. It is so flat line, right? Yeah. There's no juice to it at all. Does anybody know anything about this? Like, is it is this a big podcast? Like, do they get a lot of, is it in the top 10, the top five? That's a good question. Maybe I feel maybe we can if you can look up filler, Jimmy, look up to see where this podcast ranks in like the downloads. Because I don't know if you guys saw it. The top three the other day for podcast was Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, and the Hawk to a girl. Hawk to was up to three. Yep. Wow. Well, I guess I guess it's more like 15 weeks of fame, not 15 minutes. I know. Good for her. Let's see it right there. Right there, folks. So forget all this hope, joy, and change hogwash that the Biden administration in Harris town on you. You can be a star at any moment in this country. And it can happen like that with the most obtuse thing possible. You think Hawk to a needed all these ridiculous policies like DEI. Now she's able to put a little spit on that thing. And now she's making more than me. She put spit on that thing. The American dream is alive. You just need to have talent and find a niche. Nick, if it can happen to you, it can happen to anybody. If I can make 18 bucks an hour, you can too. Speaking of Kamal, liking to cook, she said she was asked about what happened, like what she did when Joe Biden called her and told her that he was dropping out of the race. Cartwheels? She cooked. Oh, according to her, cut nine filled out. She made the last supper. From the time that the president called me and told me he wasn't running. I mean, it just like everything was in speedy, speedy motion. And I was not sleeping so well. And that one morning, I just, I mean, I had, I don't know, a few hours sleep and I, you know, I'd like to sleep. I just got up. I was like, so I just went out and got a pork roast and started marinating. I'm worried. Give you a happy place. And my family having to meet a talent. So they were very happy about the whole situation. But I just got up and started cooking. All right, pork roast, very underrated, especially for marinade that 100% got a wonder if that's a dry rub or more of a wet marinade, but you know, to each their own. I was a lot like this. I was a lot like Kamala, you know, I was advocating for a job. I was trying to get a new position. I didn't, I was sleep deprived. I wasn't taking my naps in June of 2022. And then soccer picked up the phone and he called me. And next thing I know I was here, you know, she is, there's no doubt about it that she was in on it. I mean, first of all, she was complicit in the lie of Joe is fine and Joe is good. But if you like, think about this, we were all talking about the Clintons, the Obamas, Pelosi, Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, everybody that's Obama, all the power brokers. Like, there's no way that she was just kind of sitting back caught off guard. She was, she knew that the code read was called. She was just waiting for the execution to be delivered. Well, that's that's the thing about this clip and why I pulled it. Because I think it's the most interesting, one of the most interesting things she said was because she's acting as if she didn't know that this was, I mean, this was everybody in her party. Yes, had to get together and be like, we need to do this. Joe had that debate on June 27th, July 21st, he drops out. It's as soon as we finish the bike ride in Atlantic City, the news came across people's phones. Hey, Nick, Joe just dropped out. I just look at Greg. I'm like, I got a big take for tomorrow. So, I mean, like for three weeks, you think Kamala was in the clouds? I mean, she's just sitting there waiting for the go ahead, basically. Hey, once we get Joe out of the equation, you're the girl we're rolling with. What's one of Kamala's guilty pleasures as far as food goes? Really hard hitting interview. This is, by the way, maybe that's the whole point, right guys? Cut 11, Phil Go. One of my guilty pleasures, especially when I'm on the road, are my Doritos? What flavor? Nacho. Old school, original. Come on, come on. Yeah, that's exactly right. That's exact. I got to have a napkin nearby. First of all, they're not called Doritos. Doritos? Doritos? She's never had a Dorito in her life. Let's be honest. And the only time we've ever seen her eat Doritos on television is the stage dad with her and Doug at the community. Oh, God. Dougie Doritos, as Sean Farris would say, to this grace, to this grace. But you know what this is? One of the comments out kicked that are right up about this, and they took all the comments that were happening to the post of the podcast. And one of them is damn, they're using this platform for her BS nonsense. It's so sad that this has become an influencer election. And I want to highlight that for a moment, because I said she what she is in this reincarnation since July 21st, she is a media social media creation. It's almost like, I don't know that she really exists, but she is this whole thing like she just dropped down brand new from the political heavens. She's not new. She has no substance. And she has everybody else driving the ship for her. She's a car on autopilot. And I don't, I will never drive a vehicle that drives itself. I want to hold the wheel myself. I got to say this whole podcast is just nonsense. And you can say, well, Trump did Theo Vaughn. But if you really watch the entire Theo Vaughn podcast, which I did, yes, they, you know, he he did it. Theo Vaughn did it in in a goofy way by asking him about cocaine and talking to him. But the underlying message there was about Trump's straight edge. Yes. And and and Trump's family history with alcoholism and drug abuse and and how his brother died from it. Like there was a there was a lot of heavy topics that were discussed in that interview. This is just nonsense. This is just absolute crap. The only thing I and these are, you know, she's on here with, you know, former NBA stars, right? The only thing that I found significant out of the whole thing was that they talk about how sad it is that, you know, as far as Oakland as far as all the sports franchises they've lost. And I would just point out on that. Yeah, you know why you lost all your sports franchises? Because because they all heard get out just like a lot of businesses and they fled your area because of your woke progressive horrifying policies as a quote unquote, you know, she was the AG and and a pro, you know, chief prosecutor in the area. Yeah. And she didn't prosecute crime. So all these teams, all these businesses fled the area. Yeah. And yet she goes, Oh, yeah, remember, we used to drive buying Oakland and all of our great teams. Yeah, it was your fault. Well, to your point, think about this. The Oakland Raiders left Oakland for Las Vegas. Las Vegas is Sin City gambling booze and prostitution. They felt like their business would thrive more in a place called Sin City than Oakland, California. By the way, the comments to this podcast, these are great. And this goes to show you why I don't think this lands. And what's the objective here? Obviously, Kamala Harris trying to garner up support with the black vote, right? That's obvious. But did it work? Here's some of the comments. Funny thing is she would have locked both of y'all up for smoking weed when she was an attorney. Come on, guys. Here's a few more. If it wasn't Trump against her, no one would vote for this woman. What accent did she speak with? Question Mark, damn, they're using your platform for her BS nonsense. Wow. What the actual F is this? I lost all respect for you guys. Mad love for your game and individuals, but this is an L. This woman has been in office for four years and hasn't done a single thing to make my country better. Another one, not even political. Respectfully, she just gives off fake vibes. Last one, sports podcast turned sell out. It's a shame. Let's keep politics out of sports news and podcasts. If the goal was to win with this, I'm not sure that it hit the mark. Agreed. And all that she did by going on here was reminding people where she grew up. Berkeley, she's left coast. And by her talking about that, she reminds everybody as far as Oakland's disastrous economy for which she is partly to blame. She was asked about her economic plan. Oh, they actually asked her a policy question? Well, how do you think she started it? She was a middle class kid. How can Phil go from a show to a whole entire company? What is your kind of your economic plan moving forward for people who are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling for groceries and rent and homeowners? So look, I grew up. So my sister and I were raised by our mother. We lived for a long time in an apartment on top of a topic for us. I mean, I guess I can say this. She is consistent. She has the same message, the same plan, the same response to everything when she's asked this question. It is unbelievable. It's like a defendant in a criminal trial that has been taught and coached up by the attorney to just plead the fifth to every question. That's basically what she is done. She has given you a scripted word salad. It's a two page script. She memorized it like she was studying for the bar exam. And now she has gone out and she just regurgitated no matter who asks her where they ask her at. What time on what platform? It's the most important question of this election hands down. Yes. And she has a scripted answer that you you hear the very beginning and you just tune you like anybody with the attention span that most Americans have hear that and within 10 seconds they tune out. That's correct. And that's the point of it. That is the point of it. Unless you're a first now, this is where I think you have to be fair and objective. It's October 1st. Unless you haven't been paying attention. And it's the first time you hear that. But everybody else that has been paying attention knows it's a crock. Yep. Phil, can you continue please? That child case and I was actually owned by a woman who lived two doors down from us. And this is Shelton who was by all of our accounts and feelings our second mother. She helped raise us. And so she was a small business owner. So I'll start with the small business and congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. I from a child knew who our small business owners are, right? I mean, you're your business leaders, but you're also civic leaders. You take seriously your voice in how you can mentor, how you can grow, right? Communities in the sense of communities. I love our small businesses. So a lot of my work in terms of building and growing the economy has focused on small businesses. And my vision overall is we need to build an opportunity economy in which we increase opportunity for all, including small business owners. So a lot of my work even in the Senate was about increasing access to capital through our small businesses and in particular through our community banks. So I've been responsible for billions of dollars more now going into our community banks because they're in the community and then they know who's in the community and where the town is and who's doing good in the community, what the community wants. Wow. It's the community event. I mean, but honestly guys, so let's just, you know, forget partisan politics for a moment. If you're advising her after this again, maybe this is why she has a 92% turnover rate with her staff because she says, I don't want your input. I'm going to keep doing my thing. But I would sit there and say Kamala, for the record, the other side continues to shred you when you go on this community word salad of children in the community that are raised by the community with community banks and community leaders of small communities because they're in the community. Like you got to stop doing that. You sound like a butt head. Like change it up. Like that's what I would tell her. And I'm available for consultation 10 grand an hour. Jesus. That's fine. Hopefully it costs early election, but you know, there's there and the worst part is is every now and then if I post something about like those word salads on social media, I'll get that one person that says, what is so hard to understand about this? Where did she lose you? And I'm like, wait a minute. Where did she have you at? Right? Yeah. Like if you actually listen to the substance of it, there is none. It's just it's it's it's a lot. It's just a big one big circle, which is why you hear abortion more and more abortion abortion abortion. And it's why if you watch, so I always look at I always monitors, you know, CNN especially. So Van Jones, what are his talking points? His van Jones is I mean, it's getting nasty on there where he is saying how racist it is that they're talking about the Haitians and eating the dogs. And that's it's all about what's with the Haitians. And that's why that issue is to me that it's it's just unfortunate that in that one debate, Trump said something he saw on TV. And it just it's that is a dying issue within this current election because it's a such a distraction. It's definitely going to come up tonight by the way. It will come up tonight. If JD Vance, he needs to set the record straight. And that's why I fact checked it earlier today. And I've continually done that. We've tried to do that. But this is a losing issue to conflate the the issue of what's happening with the recent ICE report, which is legit. And what's happening in Ohio is completely that's a separate issue. Say it with me, folks, E B W economy, border war, economy border war, hammer those plus inflation and energy. You win the election, or at least you should. These these are Sacramento, California residents, their Kamala Harris supporters, they were interviewed by, I'm not sure who it was, maybe MSNBC. And they say they give all their discretionary income to Kamala Harris campaign. I got 12 Phil Co. Addy Sackler traveled from Sacramento, just happy to be in the same city as the vice president. I haven't donating nonstop tour. I've like weekly and then I I'll then I'll do it again because I believe it. Let's freeze it right. And I feel we got to go back and go freeze the video. Addy Sackler traveled from Sacramento. Folks right there. Oh boy, that is the Kamala Harris supporter. You say, I don't see Kamala fans. What do they look like? Where are they? That right there. Liberalism is a disease, folks. It's a mental health crisis. And this is like, is that where's Waldo? What? So it's California in September with a snow hat on YouTube.com slash at 1210 WPH. And as always, the glasses, the glasses dead give away. She has a, it looks to me like a lip, a lip tattoo. Yeah, like a kiss on her neck. Yes. And big earrings, not normally the earring goes in the nose. That's usually the TikTok giveaway for a mental health breakdown. But this is on television. Okay, we can continue. Philip. It's happy to be in the same city as the vice president. I haven't donating nonstop tour. I've like weekly and then I I'll then I'll do it again because I believe. Yeah, that's the end of it. Right. So she's it's bad enough that you have to live in a hate. I hate clips from Twitter because I always cut off mid. So Sacramento, California, I'm not sure how expensive, but it's probably not as expensive as San Fran LA or San Diego, but California is expensive enough just off the top. And you're taking whatever little disposable income that she says she's giving it to her weekly? Yes. Well, any discretionary income she has, she's sending it like campaign weekly. Yeah, you do what you are with your money. I've never given a dollar to a politician and I never will. Give us all that money. The cavalry. How do you give your money to somebody you don't even know what their with their platform is based on? How do you do that? It's just it's just the anti Trump. That's all it is. That's all it is. That's all it is. I mean that you can let's talk about discretionary income for a second, shall we? Because apparently the economy is not as bad as we thought. Because this guy bought a signed Taylor Swift guitar at a live auction for $4,000, only to destroy it. Oh, cut 13, Phil. If you can, this is more visual, but you can play the audio cut 13, Phil. Oh, no. Oh, he just hammered out four grand. Yeah, he bought the Taylor Swift guitar for four grand, by the way, which is, I think it's a pretty cheap price for a Taylor Swift guitar. I would think he bought it for four grand and you're the music guy. Is that a nice guitar? I don't know. What kind of brand is that? Do you get any idea? I have no idea, but it has Taylor Swift stuff all over it. Let's do a poll question on YouTube. What would you rather do with your money? Give it to Kamala Harris or smash a Taylor Swift guitar. I would say both are bad investments. Yeah. Oh, well, you asked about San Francisco their cost of living. Yeah. 23% higher than the state of California average, 71% higher than the national average. Oh, my God. Housing is 187% more expensive than the average across America. You know, I've got to reach out to my old boss when I was doing sports. He now runs the sports station for Odyssey in San Francisco. I just got a gun to ask him if I can go through his financials. I just do a little reconnaissance here for work. Little show prep. What's it like out there, man? Dude, dude, that dude took that San Francisco sports station and turned it completely around. Oh, I know. Whatever they're paying him is not enough in my opinion. When we talk about, like, you know, the cost of living and, you know, income meeting the cost of everything out there in the economy, you know, we were just talking about those dockworkers. You said, well, indeed, has it at $13, that's $20 an hour. I mean, what would it cost? So without revealing any details, I mean, what would it take for you to move out to San Francisco, like, is there a dollar amount that you would do it? I don't. I think to me has nothing to do with the politics. Honestly, God, hand of God has nothing to do with politics. I think San Francisco so overrated. I think it's so overrated. The weather sucks. I think it's beautiful. No, God, it is. No, no, no, no. Again, nothing to do with the politics. The weather sucks. It's just like, even in the summer, 70 degrees there, you know what I mean? Like, the weather blows and I you couldn't pay me enough money to live in San Francisco. That'll top of the fact that it, you know, it costs a million dollars just to live there. What about L.A.? Oh, I live in L.A. in a heartbeat. Okay. I love the weather in L.A. San Diego absolutely. Yeah. San Diego San Francisco is just completely overrated. It really is. See, I could do it for the weather with all three of those cities, but whether it's cost of living, throw in the politics, and then throw in awful sports, I would be missing. The only thing I would enjoy out there is playing golf, and eventually that wears thin. Yeah. Is that with Pebble beaches? No. Yeah, Pebble beaches somewhere else. It's not too far. Okay. You asked the Kamala Harris supporters. This guy, this is, this is one of the white dudes for Harris. And Nick, you mentioned the shmetium shirt yesterday. Yeah, they all wear the shmetium YouTube dot com slash at 1210 to be PhD. If you want to see this gentleman, this is cut 14. Phil, it's more visual, Nick, if you want to describe it for the people driving to work. Yeah. So cut 14. There it is. White guy in early 60s, crew cut, little great go team. Shmetium shirt, tucked in dancing around, right? Dancing in his kitchen or something. White dudes for Harris, because they want to save democracy, as the shirt says. It's like, what is this? I don't know, but he's so you can feel it coming in the air tonight. Shirt actually doesn't, I've seen tighter. Yeah. Although tucking a t-shirt in the dress pants is an odd look. Okay. Yep. So that that right there, folks, the two ladies that donate weekly to Kamala and then the dude in the shmetium right there is the male and the woman out there that will vote for Kamala Harris. If you put that man and then the two women on a billboard and said, what encapsulates the Harris wall's sector, their base? That's it right there. By the way, yeah, yeah. Just so San Diego, you talked about California weather. San Diego, southern, you know, the southern end of California, which is this huge state, but you mentioned Pebble Beach. That's way far north up by Monterey and Carmel. It's way up north. It's gorgeous. Yeah, also a fortune to live it. Yeah, I said it was by San Francisco. I thought it was in San Francisco, but it's close. I'd rather live in it. It's a drive. It's a hike. It's further north. I'd rather live in San Diego. Absolutely. The further north you go in California, the less than, oh my god, northern California is gorgeous. I know it's gorgeous. I mean, I want the weather of southern California. I would live in Napa Valley because you get, you know, some warm weather. It's just San Francisco with the bay. It's just the weather sucks. It does. It does. I was out there for a week. It rained most of the week. I mean, unless you're a millionaire, why would you move there? Yeah. Right. And even then, you're like, well, wait a minute. My million doesn't go nearly as far. Yep. So with all of the remnants of Hurricane Helene, Donald Trump went to Georgia yesterday, made a statement about the Biden administration, cut six, Phil Go. The governor is doing a very good job. He's having a hard time getting the president on the phone. I guess they're not being responsive. The federal government is not being responsive. But they're having a very hard time getting the, getting the president on the phone. He won't get on in the choice of vice president. He's at some place campaigning and looking for money. Now, to be fair, Kemp said that Biden called him Monday night. So yep. But I think it's about optics and, you know, which is really the interesting dichotomy here is for an administration hell bent on visual optics and identity politics. This is the second time I mentioned this earlier in one of Don's newscasts. Trump was out to East Palestine, Ohio, before either Harris or Biden. And you could say, well, you know, Ohio is red. You expect that. I think that actual, that jurisdiction voted 73% Trump in the 2020 election. But again, we talk about the importance of North Carolina and Georgia. And by the way, Kamala Harris, if you want to win Georgia and you don't want to go to where Trump was, well, Atlanta is kind of a stronghold for Democrats. Why are you not doing an appearance in Atlanta? She did a five minute phone, phone video zoom presser yesterday from FEMA in Washington, DC. She got up. She walked out. She didn't answer any questions. No, she's she spoke to the FEMA people watching. She was briefed. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. I watched her do the they interrupted the five yesterday. She did it. She sat there, gave a preprepared speech. It was about five or six minutes. And then she got up and as people as she's getting up, you hear the assembled media and they're Madam Vice President, and she just just keeps walking out. Cut five, Phil. This is like Kamala Harris on hurricane Helene saying we will do everything in our power to help communities respond and recover cut five go. And I'm here to also talk about where we are based on the briefings I have been receiving over the last couple of days. I have received regular briefings on the impact of Hurricane Helene, including from administrator Chris. Well, and over the past 24 hours, I have spoken with Governor Kemp of Georgia, Governor Cooper of North Carolina and many local officials. There you go. Biden then gave a hurricane response update saying he will visit North Carolina on Wednesday. Just curious what why? I mean, Trump got down there yesterday. Why does it Harris? I remember almost verbatim yesterday. She said, first and foremost, she does not want to interfere with the first responders on the ground. She's like, basically, she was saying, I want them to be able to do what they need. And then we will be with them, quote, I think every step of the way. Let's just fact check this back in. I remember Shepherd Smith covered this for Fox. But this was, yeah, the Bush administration and the media ripped Bush when he didn't go to and I'm forgetting which was it Louisiana? Was this was this Katrina? It was so horrible. Kanye West got on that thing. It says George Bush does not care about black people. Remember that? And that was two days, two days, George Bush, you know, was there surveying the situation. And they said he was racist because it took him two days. Joe Biden gave his response saying he'll visit North Carolina Wednesday. I said that already. Sorry. Cut seven, Phil. Go with federal support. The state has reopened 220 roads, which are going to help responders reach people and get the support they need quickly. Right now, thousands, thousands of federal personnel are deployed in your communities, supporting search and rescue, debris removal, power restoration, and getting cell networks back online so folks can connect to the loved ones. We deployed 30 Starlink receivers and went 10 more on their way to Western North Carolina. And FEMA is underground supporting the communities and registering people for disaster assistance and talking to the governor is going to take a while. Right now, it's going to be a long time. And we, there are thousands of line workers working around the clock to help get power back up in North Carolina. Additionally, Governor Cooper and I have spoken about my traveling to North Carolina. And that's a survey of the damage as soon as I came without taking resources or diverting resources on the ground. And we're going to stay as long as it takes when we get this thing going. So you heard him mention Roy Cooper there. That's a state where it's a red state state that Trump has won twice. But if you look at the polls, Kamala Harris is very, very close in North Carolina. And we know that North Carolina is uber critical to Trump and his bid to get back in. So you would think if you're Harris, you immediately get to North Carolina, a red state with a Democrat governor. Yep. Well, it a reporter asked Joe Biden, in retrospect, you wish you had spent the weekend in Washington instead of Delaware. Cut 15. At least he took questions on like Kamala. Cut 15, Phil, go. In retrospect, you were set to have more resources in North Carolina knowing what you know now. And you wish you used up the weekend here in Washington following the Delaware. 90 miles from here. Okay. And I was on the phone the whole time working on that. And the resources, the question is not whether we get more this list of every resource for getting in there. But the question is how to get it in. It's hard to get it from point A to point B. It's hard to get some of these roads are wiped out. There's no ability to land. There's no ability to get trucks. There's no ability to get a whole range of things. So I mean, anyway, I sound frustrated. I am. Yeah. Oh, he's sitting there. He looks like he's just got done running his Sunday sermon, right? He's got that little podium thing, that little raised thing. And you know what, at least he's there actually responding to a question whether or not we like the response or the tone of it is not relevant to the fact that Kamala Harris does not take answers. But he says getting from point A to point B. That's called transportation, right? Where's the transportation dude, right? Where's Mayor Pete? Every time the S hits the fan, this guy's nowhere to be seen, right? He's doing debate prep. I was just going to say, he's helping. He's a man with walls. He's the mock vans. He's a pot. So, you know, Trump, while in Erie, Pennsylvania, Sunday had ripped into this administration and said that they should have been on the ground. But I didn't see him yesterday. Yesterday when he was in Georgia, I heard him saying that this, you know, tough election should should not, you know, that this situation should not be politicized. So I don't know when, when did he talk about the one of the governors not being able to contact Biden? Was it over the weekend? I was trying to look at that timeline. Okay. And so apparently he did say that at some point. And that's why Trump. Yeah, Trump. Trump said it yesterday. But but but Kemp had already said earlier that he had talked to Biden the day before. Okay. So I saw I saw part of a piece where Trump was in Georgia with Reverend Graham and others and that Good Samaritan charity. And they were bringing in truckloads of water and gasoline and help for people. They set up a go fund me. But Trump in that speech, I thought was good. And he talked about, hey, we're, you know, this shouldn't be politicized and that sort of thing. So I don't know when or why he's or what was his sourcing? Who told him that one of the Republican governors couldn't get a hold of the Biden administration? That's not that's really unfortunate because it's it sounds like it's not true. Not true. And so Kemp said it wasn't true. So who, you know, who told Trump that? 855-839-12. Right. I mean, that, but that person should be fired. Yeah. No, you know, you had to throw a javelick. Sorry. No, I'm just, no, I'm serious. If somebody's giving a, you know, former president who's on the campaign trail and they're giving me disinformation and saying, oh, yeah, they're having a tough time getting ahold of them or something of that nature, then you're fired. That's, that's horrible. And it's, it's unfortunate because he made a public statement later on the day that said this should never be politicized. Obviously he realized that he had misinformation. All right. Coming up top of the hour, we'll get to Adon Stensland big three and still three stories to get to from Kamala Harris's PA problem to her own party saying she's underwater in Michigan to what might happen to Netflix as they go political. We'll get to that as we continue. It's Kaylin company back after this October 1st.

This is the Kaylin Company podcast from Dark Radio 1210WPHD and I'm on the free Odyssey app. I didn't know that this was a thing until I saw the story in the New York Post, but apparently the CEO of Netflix came out and endorsed Kamala Harris. And since doing so, Netflix cancellations have nearly tripled after the co-founder Reed Hastings endorsed the vice president. I want to just give you a couple of these quotes and numbers here, which is interesting. So Netflix, according to the New York Post, account cancellations soared in the days after co-founder and chairman Reed Hastings endorsed VP Kamala Harris and also donated millions to her presidential campaign, according to reports. Though the streaming platform usually has the lowest churn or rate of cancellations in the industry, its rate nearly tripled in the United States after Hastings endorsement, not according to the researcher antenna. Scores of customers in the US canceled their Netflix subscriptions at a rate of 2.8% in the month of July, which was higher than any other month this year, according to a report from Bloomberg. Subscribers, they say, likely acts their accounts in mass because the streaming giant killed its basic plan, which was its lowest priced ad-free option in the same month. Still, cancellations soared unusually high in the five day period following Hastings endorsement, even considering the spike in July. He said, quote, congrats the Kamala Harris. Now it's time to win. Hastings wrote in a post on X. Then the information reported, Hastings had donated $7 million to an anti Donald Trump Republican pack in support of Harris, to which Trump supporters got wind of and they slammed the donation and turned to social media to call for a boycott. Some online users falsely claimed that Netflix itself had donated the millions to Harris. It is unclear what if any substantial long-term impact the cancellation will have on Netflix's business, but the short-lived Netflix boycott is reminiscent of some of the social media led campaigns against companies with DEI initiatives. So I actually, last night when I saw this story, I went and I looked at the stocks of a lot of the media streaming companies. As somebody who's in kind of the media content distribution business, I always try to keep a track of like what these stocks are going for. So Netflix is $702 a share. It's staggering. $702. Meta is at $578. Spotify, 368. Apple, 233. Amazon, 168. And then you look at Google, $165 a share and things like Paramount Plus are going for $10 per share. I would say that when you look at streaming, Netflix is the juggernaut of all juggernauts. Just based on stock prices I just gave you, you can see that and come to that conclusion. Why? Now I don't know if this will have a massive impact, probably not. But if you're Netflix in a day and age of cost cutting, and oh by the way, like once you cut Comcast or Verizon Fios or whatever, like when we just moved to our new place, I called both of the big providers and it was like for base, like I'm talking basic. It's like a buck 64 to 25 a month. I'm like, you're out of your mind. So we got YouTube TV, but my wife still has Amazon Prime. She still has Disney Plus. She still has Netflix and Peacock. So like, we're paying 80 bucks a month for YouTube TV, which is a great deal. But the other ones, you factor them in. I'm still paying like $130, $140 a month. I would argue Netflix is almost, they're so good they can't possibly ever screw up. I don't understand the point of any founder or CEO publicly coming out and saying what you're doing politically to why would you do it? I agree with makes no sense. It's because they need it. Everybody has this impulse. Everybody has this need. That's why social media is what it is. Everybody has to put every stupid thought they have online. And like my my I am the CEO of Netflix and what what I say matters and people are going to and he just he he's going to tank his company doing what he's doing. If I'm if I'm one of the shareholders, I'm like, get this guy to F out of here because he can't control himself to set, like who cares who you're voting for? Who cares? Nobody cares about your political beliefs. I don't care if he was MAGA or pro comedy. It doesn't matter. Nobody cares. All I want to do is open your app and binge binge watch Stranger Things. Thank you. Thank you. Well, that's just it. I was just looking because I'm like, do we still have Netflix that right now they don't really have until Stranger Things comes back. They had the crown. They had narcos, which I watched with my sons. We loved it. But what do they have right now that is, you know, there's nothing really that I'm crazy about until Stranger Things comes back. Yeah. So that also hurts them. By the way, watch the perfect couple on Netflix. Don't really. It's Nicole Kidman and Liv Shriver. Very good. Oh, really? I mean, we're three two or three episodes in. It's one of those like murder mystery things. Oh, I love this. I love this murder mystery. Yes. It's it's it's mindless. It's you can sit there on Friday night, which is the only night my wife and I can watch TV. And, you know, we can have a drink and watch it. And it's just it's it's a good way to relax. Yeah. There you go. But but to that point, like you're going to alien half a country. Like Republican stream your service to no matter what you say, you're going to piss off half the country. Stop doing it. Literally getting political is probably the only thing Netflix can do to hurt their bottom line. Do you say it on Twitter? Yeah. Yeah. Like, why does he have a Twitter account? Yeah. But why? Does he not listen to Greg? Thank you. Well, thank you. Not everything needs to be on. Oh, God. These guys. But I'm saying it to you too as well. You can tank your career on social media if you say the wrong thing. Stop it. Just stop it. Say the wrong thing here. At least you'll have a reason. And you're going to say the wrong thing. Say it on these airways. And you'll at least be able to put it in context and defend us. Yeah. Right, Greg? Yeah. Right? You'll do that, right? You'll defend us. You'll fight for us to the death, right, Greg? I mean, I've said for years. I've said for years to both of you, all of you, including Rich Zioli, stop putting things on Twitter. I can't. I'm not going to be able to defend you. I can defend you if it happens on these airwaves. Just remember, Don, last week of the meeting, this is the lineup I see for the rest of eternity. I'm going to fight with Nick and Don unless you guys say something stupid, then I can't then, you know, my hands are tied sometimes. I might, I might delete my account tonight. Thank you. I'm, you know, I'm going to pour a cold one and I'm going to think about it. All of you. Dom Rich. Everybody delete their accounts. Thank you. Dom only posts the aside poll question of the side quote, the side topic of the dance. That's all Don's Twitter is. Yeah. It's what he does. He does what you ask. He's doing it for the right reasons. Thank you. Sponsored. Hashtag ads. All right. Coming up next, we get a Don Stenzel in big three and then Kamala's Pennsylvania problem. Why identity politics might come back to bite her in what used to be Biden country. The details on the other side. Talk radio 1210 WPH to start your day with killing company week demoting six till 10 on talk radio 1210 W P H T and the free odyssey app. Let's get to some of the news. Let's find out what else is going on out there. Time for Don Stenzel in big three at nine. It's the big three nine on killing company. Big three at nine this Tuesday morning, October 1st, looking at what's happening. So number one, we have a new policy at the mall, the Willow Grove mall. We'll have a new parental supervision policy for visitors 18 and under starting today. Interesting. Took my daughters their last full. So under this new policy, any visitor under the age of 18, so obviously 17 and under will have to be joined by a parent or legal guardian who's at least 21 years old Monday through Saturday, starting at 5 p.m. And on Sunday, starting at 3 p.m. The policy applies to the Willow Grove park. The not just the mall, the parking lots, the garages, the mall, hall walkways and any court or leading to the shopping center, except stores without door entrances. And so that also affects people taking public transportation, I will add. So mall security, they're saying they are going to enforce this policy. So if you don't show ID, if you can't prove with ID, they can boot you out, you can be charged with trespassing. Wow, you know, I always write policy. Yeah, I always look at this from two different vantage points. You have your big chain corporate stores. But there are, you know, the mom and pop stores that still exist in a mall, even though it's a dying concept because the rent is astronomical. But I, you know what, I don't, I don't blame the malls for doing this. I mean, even when malls were a thing in the 90s. And even when I worked at one in the early 2000s in college, when I worked at footlocker, the amount of people that are in a mall that have no intent on buying anything, and I'm not just talking about window shoppers. But this goes across the spectrum of demographics of age wise too, from the young punks that are there on a Friday night doing nothing. Remember back in the day, like when Stalker would go to the arcade at the mall and he had his little beanie on an escape board and closing issues, cornering me out. I could totally see that from you. 100% happened. Yes. At the mall, you worked at it. Hey, yeah, exactly right. And then you have, you know, and they're not bothering anybody. So don't take this the wrong way. But you know, you have the older mall walkers that are in there getting their exercise. I used to just look around and be like, well, these people here and nobody has a damn interest in buying a single thing. I think it's a shame. I'm looking at this the other way that we can't trust. I mean, think about like what you just said, Nick, when we were growing up, malls were a staple. That's where we hung out. You know what I mean? There's nothing else to do. Yeah. So we hung out on the mall. Our parents used to drop us off. We used to hang out there. And like it was a source of, you know, fellowship, I guess, you know what I mean? Like, and now you can't even trust kids to do this stuff. And I'm not saying I'm not saying bad foot traffic killed malls. It's direct to consumer merchandise that killed malls. There's no reason to go to a mall when you can have it dropped off in your porch. But it's you're right. It's sad that it's come to this. Yeah, there's an nostalgia to malls. This is they're not I go into a mall every now and then I'm like, at the glory days. Yeah, no, I'm I'm kind of over that. I go in malls. I'm just like, okay, let's get what we need and get the hell out of here. You know what I mean? I just I don't like there's a lot of nonsense in malls anymore. Like malls use have good shops and others. I don't know. There's just a bunch of crap there. Well, I mean, think about think about how bad that must be because you know, these little knick-knack crappy stores, they can't afford to pay the rent that they're being charged. Yeah. And they're probably like being given a discount compared to like, you know, if a K jewelers would set up shop in there, they don't have the kind of cash flow to pay for that. JK 13 on the YouTube chat says that the Plymouth meeting mall was the first indoor mall in the country. Is that true? I don't know. I only live five minutes from there. I've been there. That's a ghost town. Yeah. Yeah, there's not a ton in there, right? No, a lot of vacancies. Willow Grove is in much better shape. Obviously, King of Prussia is the crown jewel. Well, the Morristown mall, I think during COVID, they used it as like a like, like, you can get like shots and stuff there, right? I don't know. Well, but even King of Prussia, Don, you've had stories in the news for two years about the the accidents and the violence and the crime that is all the way out in King of Prussia. Yeah, smashing grabs, especially at the member of the Gucci store. And even though they have a security guard at the door, and they only let so many people in at a time, they had people assault those security guards and grab stuff and run. They've had attempted carjackings. And I think for Willow Grove mall, they've had some crime and attempted carjackings. And remember that the young girl, she was 12, 13 years old and the guy tried to grab her and she fought back. Thank God. Yep. But I think they've had some incidents where they they want to keep people safe and make it more family friendly. Right. And so this is an effort to say, Hey, you're, you know, you come in the mall, we have security and we're going to keep family safe and prioritize you. Yeah. But it's got to be more than Paul Blart mall cop, right? Like you just can't have like, you know, with all due respect to mall cops, you know, you got a guy looking like Chris Christie walking around. Who's he going to deter? It's a sin. Yeah, I mean, you think of the malls in this area there that are still King of Prussia. Yeah, you want to take your daughter for a pretzel and a Dairy Queen Blizzard? You can't do it anymore. Are there any, are there any malls? Morristown mall? Are there any malls still open in Jersey? That's a good guy. The Macy's. Where's that one? It's right over the bridge. Cherry Hill. Cherry Hill. Yeah, I think there's still there's one in Central Western Jersey. Bridgewater mall is a very nice one or it used to be. Okay. Yeah, the Plymouth meeting mall that you mentioned, they've tried to reinvent themselves with, you know, they have Shake Shack. Now they have a lot of different food places. That's what that's what the Lee High Valley mall did. Yeah. On Route 22. Workout centers. Right. You try to add all those outside spots and, you know, try to get the put traffic to go inside them. Yeah. And it still has boss golfs, which is one of the only privately owned shopping centers in the country, by the way, is good old boss golf still survives. Good old anchor stores. I know. Love me an anchor store. Number two. Where do I go? Former President Jimmy Carter turning 100 today. Happy birthday, making him the first American president to reach triple digits. Not an octogenarian. No, 20 years past that as we've learned at 607. Yeah. So served in the White House, 1977 to 1981 and revered for his post presidency, not his not during what happened while he was president, but really taught, you know, respected as a person as a human being, championing human rights, brokering a still standing peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. You know, we talked about this earlier this morning, the way the media flipped on guys like Romney and Cheney and Bush. Isn't it funny though? It goes the other way as well, because we've also talked many times on this show, how Jimmy Carter is the worst or Joe Biden's the worst president since Jimmy Carter. But now all of a sudden Jimmy Carter is 99 or he's 100 years old. And we don't really talk about how awful he was. We talk about his life post presidency. It's interesting as we get close to our expiration date, how all of a sudden people on the other side of the spectrum, they lose their, their pissing vinegar towards the other party. I don't know if that just shows the humanity and the human side of all of us or what it means, but I figured we would point that out. I think it's just the media, anybody who goes against Trump, they love. Oh, of course. Everybody loves. It's just an anti Trump thing. But even like this morning, even you, you're like, Oh, Jimmy Carter, nice man. Does it sound like you want to give you like, you want to pet Jimmy on the head here? You liked it? You have a soft spot for Jimmy? Me? No, no, no, no, no. Yes, you know, I think, you know, he's the first president to reach 100. And I think he's, you know, remembered fondly isn't, you know, he and Roslyn, as far as life marriage, all of that. What's the age? What's the age that people reach that everybody's just like, Oh, he's a, he's a good guy. They could have been sons of bitches their entire life. My whole point here. Yeah. But like, once they reach whatever that age is, like 97, they're always like, Oh, he was a good man. I'll go. I'll go. I'll go. Once you become an octogenarian, a legit one in the 80s. Yeah, I think. But here's the, here's the ultimate litmus test. If Donald Trump lives to be 96, does anybody ever take the gas off on Trump or will Trump see this until he's dead? Trump will see this after he's dead. It's true. It's absolutely true. But I mean, that's what they tried to do in the Biden in 2020 after years and years and years of being a political, you know, S O B. Yeah. That was just GPOP. Oh, he's, he's a pop up. He's like a grandpa. Yeah. What did this happen? Yeah, you just sit on pop pops lap while he sips a scotch and watch the ballgame. What's the age? 85, 5, 8, 3, 9, what's the age that people get to? I think it's, I think it's in the 80s. No, I think it's gotta be 90s. Or, or when you become no longer seen as a political threat. Oh, that's true. Like, once you lose your memory, like, like, you look at Joe and you're like, you know, funny, done at this point. What's also the age where you get to where you, where you stop giving a, you know, what, like, you can just walk down. I thought 31 a crowded aisle. I stopped, I stopped giving an F 10 years ago. Let, let one go and it's just like, oh, it's that, it's that old man over there. Yes, he's just, I'm serious. There is an age where you just don't, you, it doesn't matter. Yeah. What happens for some of us at younger ages? Yeah. Yeah. So I was looking at health news and sort of a, you know, we have a lot of health news. So, number one, we're breast cancer awareness month as we begin October, breast cancer continues to rise among younger women. There's a new study talking about that. There's a new study that says, that in the United States, researchers are investigating potential human to human bird flu transmission. Here we go with the bird flu. And number three, if you have any utensils, kitchen utensils like a spatula or a spoon, and they're that, they're that black colored sort of plastic kitchen utensils or toys. Yeah. The one my wife used last night making our turkey and rice combination. Yep. Go ahead. Oh, I thought you were going to say that one my wife used to slap me upside the head. Well, that too. But that too. I've got this. I've got a point to make, but I'll let you finish. But they're saying, or they can you be used in children's toys or take out containers, grocery meats. Sometimes it's like on that meat chuck plastic tray. They're now releasing new information. And this is an alert that they have alarming levels of toxic flame chemicals that are intended as a flame retardant. But these chemicals can leach into the product. And this is a new study saying this. And so that they're very concerned about this, that they can leach into the product and cause all kinds of problems and disease, because it's and they're also hazardous as far as they could catch fire. And this is the, just so I'm correct with this, this is the black plastic one, right? Yes. Okay. So it's anything that uses that, that's whatever, um, you know, black plastic, but they have the highest blood levels of these contaminants, these chemicals that are cancer causing this. I always, I didn't throw away the black patch. Right. I've always said to my wife, why are we not using a metal one? Why are we not using a wooden one? And by the way, so we had this like ground turkey with rice and vegetables and garlic is real healthy, like thing. And it's, we have, we have enough leftovers that could we could last for two weeks and he doesn't last two weeks. I know it doesn't. But just the sheer volume of it's like, it's like a seven pound drum sheet. No, I'm throwing that out in three days. I'm going to eat it in about two. So she's making it last. And we're, and I'm looking at all the utensils. I swear to God, Don, I go into the utensil drawer, forks, knives, spoons, uh, mix. We have enough stuff for 13 households in the neighborhood. We got to throw it out. There's just too much of it. You throw away any black plastic. Yes. Throw it away. And then, of course, the purge, the black plastic one that she's using, she decides to use it to scoop the turkey and rice, to serve it on the plates for me, Olivia and Mia. And the spoon is this big. I said, get a big ladle. You know, we're going to, it's going to take an hour for you to scoop that out. What are you doing? Oh, thought you ought to see what goes on in my kitchen. See, now, I will say this about my husband. He's wide enough. He's wise enough to not critique me on the use of my serving spoon. No, no, truth, because he likes being served. If you're in the living room and you're watching TV or, you know, if I'm getting ready for work and I don't notice, I won't notice. I won't say anything. But I was starving last night. And I'm sitting there staring over her shoulder and she's scooping it out. And it's like a bite per scoop. And I'm like, can take her nine minutes to fill my, get the big one out. I don't want to put your patience, Katpond. Well, let's go take up more space of the dishwasher. Who cares? That's what it's for. He's like, you know, he's been, you've been waiting to get this out for four hours, having you. Thank you, Don for bringing this up. You know, I might not know the difference between a hundred and an oxygen area, but I know spoon sizes. And I guess you're no little spoon. There wasn't that the SNL bit. Nick, two years in an apartment. And now all of a sudden, right? You got to adjust, dude. Yeah, Tony, you think Kamala is good for cooking? You put kale and Kamala in a kitchen for a cooking segment. That'll be a debate. Oh, man. I'm so glad I triggered that. Oh, the bottom line is throw away those all those black spatula things. Yes. Point being prevent cancer. Racist. No, it's the plastic and the chemicals in it. That's Kaelin company or Kaelin. What do we say? That's the big three. That's the big three. Sounds good enough to me. It's the it's the big three and we need a bigger spoon. We're going to need a bigger spoon and a bigger boat. All right, coming up next morning, mystery movie clip time followed by the big, no, excuse me, a what's on the cut sheet part do as we continue back after this from talk radio 1210 WPHD and we need bigger spoons. It's Kaelin company on demand from talk radio 1210 WPHD and the free Odyssey app. Politico puts some stuff out there and you know, they certainly are a left leaning organization. But you know, I don't know, 20, 25% of the time they will point out the flaws of a Democrat or, you know, point out where Trump is doing well. And I thought this was interesting because Pennsylvania, as we know, could determine the whole ball of wax. And the article from Politico is called Kamala Harris is Pennsylvania problem. And they went to Scranton, Pennsylvania, which, you know, is Joe Biden's, you know, stronghold, so to speak. And they talk about how he was, you know, America's second Catholic president, he comes from an Irish Catholic family, the famous line of him at that coffee shop where he says, I'm Joe Biden and I went to St. Paul's. And they talk about it's a long form story. But just a couple of highlights, they say the greeting and echo of the old Catholic habit of identifying oneself by church parish was Biden's homage to the parochial nature of Scranton, home to one of the nation's highest concentrations of white Catholics, Biden's local ties and his cultural roots helped lifted him to victory in 2020 in Lackawanna County. But now as Democrats battle for the state with Kamala Harris as the nominee, their chances of winning in the region or performing well enough to carry the state are looking considerably diceier. It's not just the loss of Biden and older white Catholic man with an affinity for the working class from the top of the ticket that worries local Democrats. It's the cultural dissonance with Kamala Harris, a Californian, a woman of color who has spearheaded the party's post-dobs abortion messaging. And they go on to say that, well, Biden isn't wildly popular in Scranton. He is considered a native son and he is viewed through a nostalgia lens. So I do think that's very interesting that, you know, in this, you know, reincarnation of the Democrat party with the obsession over identity politics, that it could be identity politics that's Kamala Harris is undoing in the most important swing state of all the battleground states. And, you know, I've, I don't know, I've been to Scranton maybe three or four times in my life, certainly have driven past and through Scranton. I think I went to like a wrestling, like a WWE wrestling event in Scranton once. I've been out to like Wilkes-Bera, you know, the King's College and that whole area. What is that Ralph of Route 81 or whatever it is? But I've never really spent any time in Scranton. But if that is, I mean, if we think about, you know, generally speaking, you know, Philadelphia and Allegheny County or blue and everywhere in between is red, you have to look for little pockets. You know, I think Northampton County will be very interesting Bellwether County, Bucks County for sure. But, you know, if we're talking like a tenth of a point, am I out of line, Don, by thinking that, you know, if if Trump takes Lackawanna County or does much better than he did against Joe four years ago, that could be the deciding factor in the state. If we're talking like a tenth of a point, it could be, especially when you consider that there's not this energy or excitement reportedly here in Philadelphia. And so will people just, I don't know, just stay home or not be energized? That's the real question. So will you have people in some areas who are energized for, let's say, Trump? Will that be offset by people in cities in more metro, urban areas where they're like, this, I'm not really excited about it. What have they done for me lately? You know, and will we see that happening? And that's the big question. Pennsylvania remains the mystery. It does. And we know with the way Pennsylvania or Michigan or Wisconsin, the other two of the three, I call them the big 10 swing states, they all typically fall in line, which leads us to this last little anecdote. I saw this from Axios. They had a scoop that said Rep Democrat Rep Alyssa Slotkin of Michigan warns that Kamala Harris is underwater in the Wolverine state that according to internal polling for the Democrats, where she told donors last week, as she is fighting for a spot on the Senate, that according to their internal polls, and this is in a video clip obtained by Axios that Harris is underwater in Michigan. Now some of the polls show it's very close. I've seen Kamala as low as up one point in Michigan to being up two or three or four points. The 538 average polling has her up 2.4 points in Michigan. But the quote is quote, I'm not feeling my best right now about where we are as a party on Kamala Harris in a place like Michigan. And this was said in a virtual fundraiser last Wednesday on zoom with Democrat from New Jersey, Senator Corey Booker. So if that is the case in Michigan, if what we just talked about with Kamala Harris in Scranton and Pennsylvania is an issue, again, it always comes back to the big take full circle. Think about this, what we played for you. That was, I believe it was a K, I forget what her last name is from BBC. She was in the clip I played for you from CNN, where she said Democrats are looking at Pennsylvania right now, like they do Ohio and Florida. Now I'm not sure that I buy that. I think I certainly think Pennsylvania is much more winnable for Democrat than it is Florida or Ohio. But with what they're hearing and what they're reporting, Kamala is not in great shape. And if you look at some of the polling, a lot of people have said, well, what's what's the advantage is it D plus seven? Is it D? You look at all the different cross tabs and all the different little factors that go into these polls. And one thing we know in 2016 and 2020, Trump outperforms polls. So I think if you're looking for more good vibes, I think you might find them in Pennsylvania and in Michigan. Although Michigan, I really wouldn't worry about it. Take Carolina, take Georgia, take PA three of the seven. You get to 270. This is the Kaling Company podcast from talk radio 1210 WPSD and on the free Odyssey app. Let's find out what's left over. It's what's on the cut sheet part. What's on the cut sheet? I do. So Peter Ducey asked the White House press secretary Karine Trump here about the people in Western North Carolina who are drowning in their houses this weekend and President Biden being in at his Delaware beach home. This is kind of what Trump is alluding to when he spoke yesterday in Georgia. Peter Ducey had the White House press briefing yesterday cut 16, Philip, go on the lean people in Western North Carolina were drowning in their houses this weekend. Others were losing everything. President Biden said his beach house and Vice President Harris was hosting political fundraisers on the West Coast. Is there a reason that they could not be here? The president did exactly what a president in this moment needs to do, which is directing his team to take action. One of the reasons that the FEMA administrator was here in this room on Thursday, his representative wanted to make sure that we were sending a message out to folks who were going to be impacted by the hurricane and also wanted her to share how we were pre-positioning on the ground. Remember, these are folks who do this type of stuff. When you think about FEMA, think about the Red Cross, you think about the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This is what they do. This is what they do. And so the president was on the phone. He said this when he was asked a question by one of your colleagues for more than two hours yesterday with governors and local elected officials, making sure that they had what they needed. You heard me talk about Governor Kemp and what he said to the president himself. He said this and shared this in a press conference that the president has provided and said what else do you need? And he actually said to the president, we have what we need. So, and that's a, as you know, a Republican governor. And look, and I talked about how the vice president also did her calls. She's going to be going to the FEMA, FEMA agency in the center, the center to get her briefing later this afternoon. The president is continuing, continuing to have these conversations with folks on the ground, elected officials on the ground to make sure that they have what they need and directing his team to keep pushing. Yep. And we played you a clip of Kamala from FEMA in Washington. I watched, we played that for you, by the way, in the cut sheet part one. I watched the entire five or six minutes that she spoke. And then she didn't answer any questions. And then she immediately walked back out to prepare for whatever that she needs, you know, days on end to prepare for. Yeah, it's like my wife getting ready for the night on the town with dinner. She's just preparing. I think she's not like, are we ready to go yet? You know, I'm still preparing. Okay, what are we preparing for? We've been together since the Civil War, I think. I think they got a bad night last night. I know reading, but you know what, we threw the lines here. No, it was actually a great night. It was a beautiful night. Great dinner. Yeah, kids went to bed early and sat back. It was a great night and no complaints. But you know what's amazing to me is Trump yesterday looked like the sitting president. Did he not? I mean, when you're in Georgia yesterday and you're there on the ground, you're not sitting at your desk like Joe was in the Oval Office or whatever the hell he was. You're not sitting on a flight jotting down notes on an empty sheet of paper like that stage photo op that Kamala tweeted out. And you're not doing a five minute scripted response where you're not taking questions. Like if people want to take Kamala Harris seriously, did she come off serious and prepared yesterday? Donald Trump was on the ground in Georgia like he was finishing up his first term. Like he's the acting sitting president. I'm sorry, you know, for an administrator, and I said this earlier, for an administration hell bent on optics, the optics favor Trump. Trump is speaking of Trump. He was on the ground yesterday in Georgia. You know, we hear this everybody talking Biden said it about Starlink being hooked up and for people that don't know, that's all Elon Musk. Yeah, they shut that down, right? This is this is cut 17, Phil, where he spoke to Starlink and speaking to Elon and you know, because these these towns and areas need need places for ways for these these residents to communicate cut 17 go. Well, they do this for a living and do this at least to help. And they said they've never seen one this bad. Valdosta has been ravaged. The town is very very badly hurting. And many thousands are without power. They're running low on food and fuel. We brought a lot of it down with us. It's going to be distributed now or soon throughout Georgia, as well as North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Alabama, and Tennessee. That's our big one. And the devastation wrought by the storm is incredible. It's so extensive. Nobody thought this would be happening, especially now. It's so late in the season for the hurricanes homes, hospitals, highways and cars have been plunged underwater entire neighborhoods have been turned into lakes. Nobody's seen anything like it. And every family that's been displaced here in Georgia and North Carolina, whose which has really been hit. We're going there also and they don't have communication. They don't have anything right now that they're we're trying to. I just spoke to Elon. I'm getting him. I want to we want to get Starlink hooked up because they have no communication whatsoever. And Elon, Elon will always come through. We know that. You know, I said this yesterday, but it's worth repeating again. You talk about communication. This is why paying attention to that story about saving am radios, especially in cars is super critical. Yes, because in situations like this, the am radio comes in handy. There's a CNN story. I don't poo poo it. There's there's a CNN story about the importance of am right now in North Carolina, because people are calling in, they're being able to communicate with loved ones. They're being able to say, Hey, you know, drop off for this here. It's literally a lifeline. This am station in Charlotte, North Carolina is literally a lifeline for these residents to call in and kind of talk about what's happening was what's on the ground in the community. Thank you, Nikail for saying that that that is the importance of what we do. And God bless that that station for doing what they're doing. Yes. And the octogenarian references are just a bonus. Yeah. Coming up next, we'll get to your voicemails today in music history and what is on tap for the dawn show. It's all still ahead.

Both shows kept my 14 year streak going. I've seen shows better than the garbage the NFL has turned out during the halftime of Super Bowls since 2010. Yes, the last time there was a good Super Bowl halftime show was the who in Miami. The reason rock trumps all now back to the Stevie Nick show a bit.
