all right they said it would be a very active hurricane season at least along the Atlantic coast uh now we've not seen that pan out but we have seen a pickup in the frequency of these storms including after Francine the damages and now for the Carolinas maybe more storms to come Brandy Campbell in Carolina Beach North Carolina with more on that hey Brandy hey Neil look since Wednesday I've been covering Francine and the aftermath of it and now today we are on Carolina Beach watching the impact early impacts from a disturbance that is just off the coast of the Carolinas so right now we're seeing wind high wind speeds and then of course we got the Beach conditions so let's get ahead uh and give you guys a look at what we're seeing out there uh I want to tell you the big question at this point Neil is will this depression or disturbance I should say be upgraded to a tropical depression or further into a tropical storm the National Hurricane Center forecasting it has a 50/50 chance of doing so but regardless our forecast Center expects Heavy Rain to move Inland across the Carolinas and into the I95 Corridor going into the middle of next week so for now along Coastal North Carolina we could get 3 to 5 Ines of rain or higher in some areas Beach conditions they're going to be pretty bad there's a rip current risk coupled with High Surf Wave Heights between 5 to 8 ft in the surf zone and we could also get 20 to 30 mph wind gust and of course if the storm develops Neil that could increase now going forward Neil I want to say high tide or King Tides actually start tomorrow in this area so whatever comes on Shore could also exaggerate what happens this area known to flood uh so we'll be keeping an eye on that impact as well NE all right Brandy be safe you and your crew great job as always want to go to Rick wmth who's following these storms and looking at the fact that now that we're getting into the really busy part of the Season it might live up to its reputation what do you hearing right I tell it's such a tough one Neil you know we we said at the beginning of this year we were so confident that we might even break all of our records for tropical activity in a year and it has not been the case and there are sometimes in science where there are some things that you can't predict and you don't understand this will be a year that we are looking at a lot of information and learning because it hasn't panned out out to be that way and we are here this is September 10th that is a climatological peak of activity uh of hurricane season we are behind in where we would normally be which we didn't think now typically we still have 50% of our activity ahead of us with that said we only have two systems that we're watching out there in this really big meaty part of the Season we have one this is tropical storm Gordon this is going to stay out here we call it a fish storm will only impact uh the the deep ocean here not impact land at all and then this one that Brandy was just talking about that we're looking at a 50% chance of development over the next uh 7 days now we we had Category 2 hurricane make landfall in Central Louisiana this week still 38,000 households without power in that area most of them in tabone Parish so that's one problem we're watching and with that storm hasn't moved all that much this General rotation is going to stay here across parts of the southeast Tennessee Valley throughout much of Alabama looking at flooding concerns and then that storm that Brandy was just talking about we set her out there right here along the coast this disturbance here very you know interesting we're definitely going to see a lot of moisture from it and a rough time out across the Southeast coast but I tell you what Neil there is going to be a lot of studying that is going on over the next years based off of this year's forecast and the conditions and what out there in the atmosphere is there that we still don't understand and we have a lot to learn from Neil all right thank you my friend Rick R Bo following all of that Meanwhile we're following we a very bullish week for the markets all 5 days the S&P 500 went up up up up up and a lot of people are looking at that why is that happening well a lot of people are getting psyched about the possibility interest rates aren't only going to come down next week that they could come down up to half a point uh C bomber heard that news and he was jumping like crazy all right what we're showing you is some old video here but but but but it does ring the point that the former Microsoft Chief is a good read on things that concern Microsoft the economy the fed and our government after this get get there are some things that work better together like your workplace benefits and retirement savings Boya provides tools that help you make the right investment and benefit choices I love this company yes get get out you know I have a feeling that Steve bomber uh the former head of Microsoft one of the founders if you will uh probably doesn't like it when you show that video some more than 20 years ago the reason why I love it it says a lot about Steve bomber the fact that he was very unconventional extremely successful CEO one of arguably the best this country has ever seen uh but his passion is is well noted Beyond just like at the time uh what was going on at Microsoft but more important about what's going on in this country he's not jumping whooping and hollering on that though because he's much more concerned with numbers that Americans simply cannot grasp or get in an easyto find venue the former Microsoft CEO in USA fax founder joining us right now Steve very good to have you back great to be here thanks Neil and I always do love that video because it shows your passion and you were very animated about it but you're not really very happy passionate about some of the stuff we get from the government and how people can understand what's going on with the government what what's your biggest concern well I tried uh when I first retired back in 2014 I was working with my wife on her philanthropy and I kind of had the general view since we focused on kids and families who might not otherwise have opportunity I was focused in on what the country really invested in these poor families I had no way to sus that out the numbers weren't Consolidated in any reasonable way I started out to try to do that I decided over time it should be like a 10K report that businesses have to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission which means neutral it's not arguing for a point of view it's got to be longterm everything's got to be in context so that you could then form your own opinion as shareholders doing a company about what to go do now I'm not going to be judgmental about whether we're in good shape or bad shape but I think we can and certainly the materials that we published some new videos we came out with here before the election they paint a story and everybody can assess that differently one thing that we can I think bipartisanly there's such a word assess is that debt keeps piling on right and both candidates of course have plans that will add to that debt depending on if you believe the figures attached to them there's a Wharton survey that shows it goes up another trillion almost two trillion dollars under kamla Harris could go up five trillion or more under Donald Trump no way knowing for sure and as you've reminded me a lot of this stuff often isn't worth the paper it's printed on but to get back to that notion of of a government that gets bigger and the money that's coming in to pay for that I'm just wondering how that all works out well when you get right down to it I won't make forecast but let's look at some basic facts the country took in about 4.4 trillion in Revenue last year we paid out 6.1 trillion in Revenue 1.7 uh trillion depending on how you look at it as a percentage of tax revenue is caught 40% so strikes me as a lot but everybody can draw their own opinions the problem is when you look at the spending um you know mandatory spending Social Security Medicare Medicaid veterans benefits things that the population expects if I might say uh that's you know as a total accounts for let's say 60% you add in the debt I think most people would think our country should pay its debt then you add in uh military and you only have about a trillion or so left and so those are the places where many people would look for cuts I just don't think it's easy to find the kinds of cuts that people might want if you're trying to get back towards a a balanced budget well there in Line's the rub right because you're right that that that that's where all the money is and the money that has to be addressed and it I didn't know it was as high as the 60% above figure that you alluded to but the fact of the matter is neither candidate right now dare wants to cross that third rail uh we we have a proposal by Donald Trump uh not the tax Social Security benefits not the tax overtime not the tax tips all well and good for those audiences who love to hear that kind of stuff but similar giveaways by the Kamala Harris camp in other words it's very easy to propose tax cuts and and and and dealing with things that could make it more onerous for these programs down the road so I'm just wondering how that sorts out because if if we're concerned about all the money going out and a lot less money coming in it it's not reflected in polls the debt and and these deficits that pile up year after year don't seem to be a worry for Americans what do you think of that well let me say the say the following again everybody's entitled to their own opinion on this one I'll share my opinion uh I worry about our increasing debt as a percentage of our GDP I mean if you think about companies there's companies that live with a certain amount of debt forever but if you look at debt if you will as a percentage of Revenue or profit it can't just keep growing and right now we've got about an economy call it 27 trillion we have debt of 35 trillion you know being over 100% it's the highest our debt has been as a percent of GDP since World War II and I think people except we had some special exigencies in you know during the war period in terms of what we needed to spend so it it doesn't pop I understand it doesn't pop uh if you look at people personally they they want more government can give it to them in terms of higher spending on them or on Lower taxes both parties seem to have somewhat different viewpoints about how to get there but this notion of let's at least make a dent in the in the U growth in debt as a percentage of GDP I agree does not come up in the dialogue uh and I don't again I speak now not as a provider of facts but as a citizen nobody thinks it's going to be a big issue in this election well you are a citizen but you're also one of the richest guys on the planet and I and you've probably heard from candid and this is routine up to say that billionaires guys like you should pay should pay more and I've gotten back and forth into this with with both sides of that what represents a fair a fair share or the rich paying a fair share we used to have the top rate as you know Steve us 90% then 70% 50% in and around the 37 to 39 uh 40% today uh but we go back and forth on that and the the old saw is that the rich aren't aren't doing enough um I know you've heard it many times but what do you think of that well let's just look at some some numbers uh 76% of income tax not including Social Security sales property taxes but 76% of federal income tax is paid by the top 20% of taxpaying units families households as we might think of them uh and those are people those are families with over $160,000 of of household income now will that full set of people feel affluent enough to absorb more taxes probably not but if you want to substantially increase taxes you may have to get to that broader group um you know would I personally be be happy and willing to to pay more tax yes I would uh but you know that that's me personally I can't speak for all people who are super affluent as I am all right well Watch What Happens always good catching up with you Steve bomber thank you appreciate it Neil all the best be well all right in the meantime here uh a fair and balance read from both sides here we're very insistent on that as you know on my business show if we have a bull we always have a bear if we have a a Democrat we always have a republican vice versa no one cares what my opinion is I care very much what the newsmaker opinion is and that is why we've assembled a repres resentative from the Harris Camp to weigh in on

winning the presidency uh and getting those electoral votes that could put either candidate over 270 meline Dean is the Pennsylvania a democratic Congressman kind enough to join us right now uh Congressman um obviously both candidates spent an enormous amount of time in your beautiful state and and yet the polls remain tight as a tick uh how would you describe that and why that's happening after all of this I mean we're we're kind of dead even well H and thanks for having me on Neil I'm sitting here in Montgomery County at at a coordinated headquarters for this election cycle the enthusiasm is high uh the number of new people coming in to volunteer is extraordinary the number of young people and I will say particularly young women who are engaged in this election because they have seen what has happened to their freedoms is high I don't explain the polls uh I just say this is going to be a very close election if you take a look at Pennsylvania's voter registration we have about a little under four million registered Democrats about three and a half million registered Republicans so we're quite purple uh and then there several hundred, Independents uh so this is going to remain close uh you saw what happened in the last two elections uh Mr Trump won Pennsylvania by only 44,000 votes across the entire Commonwealth in 2016 Mr Biden W it here with 880,000 votes my prediction is while this remains close in these next 51 days we want to prove that we will be the Keystone State again and I bet Montgomery County will be the key to that Keystone uh where we will show a margin greater than even Mr Biden's if con Harris hadn't emerged as the Democratic nominee and the party had stuck with Joe Biden had he maybe pushed that debate he wanted with Donald Trump into the fall rather than the summer it would be very different right now wouldn't it wouldn't those polls be very different uh I don't know to be honest I do know that I am so proud of our president uh for making that courageous and selfless Choice uh and that's what is so Stark about these two campaigns whether it wasn't as if it was courageous as much as he was kind of pushed he didn't jump right well actually no I think he was very thoughtful about it I spoke with the White House I spoke with the campaign in the days leading up to his decision he was extremely thoughtful about it but how selfless it was to say I can't risk this we cannot risk another Trump presidency you're a business guy and I admire you I love that interview you just did with Steve um take a look at what Mr Trump is promising he's promising tariffs and he's promising Mass deportation of workers that will be incredibly Congress the Biden Administration has just spread more tariffs against Chinese Goods not you're quite right not nearly to the degree that Donald Trump wants to push them but everyone seems to be in tarff they're very popular right now to sort of go after in this case China are we doubling down on something that could come back to hit us in the heiny well I don't know know that's a good way of putting it uh I don't know about that but I do know that that's an economic term just so you know congresswoman but go ahead okay I um I was an English major but I do care about the economy and I love what has happened under Biden Harris with our economy take a look at where inflation is we are the Envy of the G7 we're at 2.5% and and cooling even more take a look at what the FED will likely do in the coming days uh interest rates will be coming down that means cost will be coming down if somehow Mr Trump were reelected and did mass deportations of workers uh that will be incredibly inflationary costs will go up and interest rates will go up fortunately I don't believe that will happen and I believe Pennsylvania will make the difference so so let me real quickly just put a cap on this U inflation you're right has come down mightily from where it was but it is still up from when Joe Biden first came into office there are a lot of reasons and variations for that but but the what Republicans are pounding is that it it is still expensive you go to the grocery store uh and it is still a hassle and that Kam Harris's message is more or less the saying well what you just emphasized Congress which is all valid that the trend is the friend but the the record from from when the Trump Administration ended and the Biden began uh that that's still a problem that inflation jump since then is still a huge problem absolutely there are multiple factors uh that you know are are impacting that but I want to go back and say what did we do in the last Congress in the 117th Congress in order to bring folks prices down uh we passed many many bills and you see us now with a republican majority that we're not passing anything we don't even have a budget so we have brought uh prices down we've brought the prices of prescription drugs down uh the the things that we have done Democrats in the majority and when we go back into the majority will continue to put pressure on prices okay Congressman great see not too bad by the way for an English major big fancy congresswoman now and all of that very learning from you Neil yeah if only right good luck on that uh very good seeing you Congress when we'll be following very closely what's happening in your state and all these other Battleground States hello oh good good nice okay speech spe a yeah yeah
