Get ready for the biggest night of television ever. Didn't it used to be called must see TV on Thursday nights? Thursday nights used to be the night that everybody would sit around and watch TV. That was like the big one back in the day before streaming. Now, tonight will be must see television because tonight is the most anticipated presidential debate probably ever as both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will meet in Atlanta, Georgia. They're going to be in a TV studio moderated by CNN, but seen by every other network. The CNN, I believe there's some kind of a thing that they do the presidential, whatever the heck commission, where all the debates can be watched in broadcast by the other broadcast networks. It will be on social media platforms too. Here's the rules to the debate as read by as Shannon calls a dry mouth CNN anchor. President Biden will enter from the right side of your screen. President Trump will enter from the left side of your screen. The podiums are eight feet apart directly across from them. The moderators. CNN's Jake Tapper and Danabash are a reminder. This is a television studio. There's no audience. Candidates will have two minutes to answer questions in one minute for responses and rebuttals. At the moderator's discretion, there may be an additional minute for follow-ups, clarifications or responses. So how does a candidate know how much time is left to speak attached to the cameras in the studio and in the candidate's field of view are the timing lights. When the lights show yellow, there are 15 seconds left in a candidate's answer or response. When the lights flash red, there are five seconds left. And when the display is solid red, the time is up. At that point, the candidate's microphone will be turned off and the other candidate will have their microphone turned on. Why do they not hear that in there, you know? Like, why do they... Break up. The only way to get over one is get under another... Oh, yeah. There you go. That's the October. Uh, why do they not when they tape that thing and they run that audio? They go, "Okay. Let's do it again." But I want you to drink a gallon of water. Unreal. Um, the, uh, the debates, by the way, uh, starts tonight at what time is it at? Nine o'clock. Nine o'clock. All right. So how long is it going to be 90 minutes? 90. Is that what it is? Do commercial breaks 90 minutes? No. Um, listen to what Google is doing for Gmail people. If you're a Gmail person, Google just announced the release of an artificial intelligence tool that increases productivity for users that use Gmail. You can now have AI answer your messages as well as your emails for you. I want this so bad. This is the finally the part of AI that I want. I'm going to have them answer every single email that comes from one of our sales department people. The only problem is if AI all of a sudden starts saying, "Yes, I'll do everything." That would suck. Would you want this? I mean, there's times where I sit down and I don't know what to say. It would be nice to be able to have AI. Tell me what to say. You could already do that though. Well, you can do it with certain statements, but you can't do it like full emails. Yes, you can. You can. Well, you can go and chat GPT and literally say, "I need an email that sounds like, that feels like." You have to look it up. But how about if I have my email there and in one fell swoop? I just click respond. I don't know. I feel like I don't trust it. Like I still want control over. You can add on. If it's me, sending that out into the world. I don't know. I trust it better than I trust me. If I were you, I would too. They have, by the way, the 24-hour rule. I do the 48-hour rule when it comes to emails. Do not respond until the next day to emails, otherwise you get yourself in the trouble. A survey finds that 40% of companies are posting fake job ads. What? What? It says that companies are doing this, they're posing fake or ghost job ads, sometimes as a way to make overworked employees feel like help is on the way. Whoa. Diabolical. So, the companies are making it look like they're looking for people so that they don't feel as stressed out over the fact that they're doing like five people's jobs. But then the other thing they're doing too is they're doing it as a way to keep them from asking for raises, worried that other people are going to come in and take their jobs. Have I not been saying this for the past year? And y'all have been calling me crazy and saying, "No, they just can't find good candidates." You can't find good candidates. Believe me. I say that too fast. But you can't find good candidates because the problem is people are signing up for jobs like this. Fake jobs and they're waiting on jobs. That's crazy. You think that that doesn't also affect the job market a little bit where people aren't getting opportunities because they're the waiting. I don't know anybody who's applying for one job and waiting and not applying for more jobs. And I think a lot of people are searching for new jobs because of the situation you just said, where they're overworked and underpaid and stressed out, no help is coming in and nothing's going to change and the cost of living has gone up and nobody's gotten raises. Like, it's just, it's terrible to be an employee right now. You should be one of the candidates for president. I think whoever, by the way, whoever tonight on that presidential debate says, "I will lower the cost of crap and I will find good jobs for you paying jobs," is the person that wins. If some, if those candidates go on, on that stage tonight and they talk about a bunch of BS stuff, I think people are going to get pissed because I agree with you on that, Megan. What you just said is absolutely true. Give people more opportunities. The problem though, Megan, by the way, I'm going to run also. Can I be your, uh, your running mate? VP. I would be your VP. We would not get anything that we would just fight with each other. We would not agree with everything you have because guess why? I'm the VP and the VP's pretty much do nothing but hang out and go to a few rules as well. Trump hasn't declared a running mate, right? No, they're saying that whoever his running mate is, he's going to do it for, I think, when they meet in Milwaukee, a convention, he says his running mate will be at the thing tonight. Oh, look at me. Look at me. He's got a whole bunch of money. He's going to make the announcement tonight. That'd be fired. You just distracted me. He said I was right about stuff and then you're distracting him with the money. No, Megan, I'm going to be your, you're right on this one and you're also right in the fact that I would make a fantastic vice president, not a good president. It'll be better than Chris Rock and Bernie Mac. What you also had? What is that? I was going to say, what is that movie reference? I probably didn't see that one, but what's the best, what's the best movie about the president? Cause I always thought that Michael Douglas movie, Oh, the American president, the American president was the best one. Love it. What was your favorite? This president movie. Yeah, the movie about the president of the United States. Like, you know, they have like the fake press. If I've ever seen one for a kind of like scandal, like how scandal had the press, that good looking dude that was the president. Which one's yours? Independence day. Independence day. It is today. We declare. I am the biggest. Yeah, no, that was a fire scene for a, it was a, oh my, I'm going to watch an American president tonight. Yeah. That's a good movie. And then listen to this one, the, the last story here, a, the state of Vermont has agreed to pay $175,000 to settle a lawsuit on behalf of a man who was charged with a crime after giving a state trooper the middle finger back in 2018, the lawsuit was filed on behalf of the guy when he said that trooper Jay, uh, Riggan stopped, uh, Gregory Bombard gave him a ticket. And when he pulled off, he flipped off the state trooper and the state trooper came back and gave him another one. So he ticketed him for the, uh, the offense under this settlement signed by both parties this month, the state has agreed to pay that guy more than $100,000 plus make a donation of $75,000 to the ACLU because he was expressing his rights as an individual is you afraid him a speech, freedom of speech. Right. I love it. What's up? Lindsey. Hi. Oh my gosh. First time. Hey, I'm sorry Lindsey real quick, Madam president here. Say hello to Madam president. Hello, Madam president. Hello, my royal subjects, I tried to call it fast as I could, but I, I can't sell mojo live quick enough since, you know, no key of phones went out of business. Get him girl. Yeah. I couldn't sell it, but I was going to make a comment about, um, about what happened after you have a boyfriend at a house and he said they always get married and I wanted to play. I just called being a foster girlfriend because they find their forever home. That's good. Yeah, that's true. That is so good. That's very funny. That is so, well, that wasn't mine, but that's hysterical. That's hysterical. Lindsey, you're the best Lindsey. We love you. Take care guys. You too. Thanks for calling. Zach, what's up? Hey, the best president movie, Oh, first time, uh, this is a second time, long time. Okay. VP. Get it. No. No. I'm fine. It's okay. It's okay. Um, airport, oh, that's pretty good. Get off my plane. Yeah. That was a, that was a great movie. That's such a good one. Got a CTV man. Thanks buddy. Appreciate you. We'll see how it plays out. Are you like, are you going to be like sitting there glued to the set like you'd be watching the Super Bowl? Uh, no, I think they're going to have to glue both of them to their seat or glue some of them to the podium. I got to tell you that it's going to be interesting. My biggest thing is, will you come out tonight and go, what the hell just happened to them? If Trump just is really mellow and Biden's like the crazed one. Yeah, they got Biden juiced up and then Trump's like, like, if it's the exact opposite of what's being played and the name calling, I think tonight, let's do a drinking game. What will the name calling be? You know, like, what will that be like? Sleepy. Yeah, it's going to be interesting what it in what if all of a sudden out of the blue, like, uh, what's his name from, uh, from, uh, what the hell is the guy's name? Not Joe. Yeah. Joe Rogan or whoever that hosts the W or the UFC, maybe he comes out with the microphones it does. They should if CNN was smart, have it be I have the Michael buffer do let's get ready to rumble. Oh man. Everybody would watch it then and make it the reason why they want to see now make it be like the WWE or UFC where it's like you have the announcers on the sidelines. What's going to end up happening to this next one? Like during the commercial breaks, politics should be boring, not entertaining. I definitely need the commentating on there. Oh, this is too good, Meghan. This is 2024. No, no, you are the president of this mojo in the morning, United States, my first decree is that every American citizen has to watch the movie Civil War that came out this year by a 24. You just lost my vote. That's right. You're my DP. You're going to vote for yourself. I still have your vote. All right. We're out of here. We'll see you tomorrow. May I live. We'll be back tomorrow. Bye. 20 plus years of idiocy. I'm still going into Troy Toledo and West Michigan. It's mojo in the morning.
