It's a knock kna shit in Yakis.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It is eight minutes after the hour walking to Friday,
August the seventh year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six
on the air, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This
is your morning show. President Trump working to finalize a
deal to completely open the strait of Horn Mouz. That's
been going on for five months. What makes you think
it's happening now? Marsha Blackburn limps over the finish line
and squeaks out a Tennessee Republican primary victory for governor.
(01:40):
She has poised now to become the first woman governor
of the state of Tennessee. And the Senate committee has
voted to hold doctor Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress.
And if you were expecting a boring, low scoring Hall
of Fame game.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
In Canton, Ohio, you didn't get it.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
The Carolina Panthers defeated the Arizona Cardinals thirty three to
thirty in a last second walk off touchdown. Run. A
Senate committee that voted to hold the former White House
Health advisor, doctor Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress happened yesterday.
We'll have the sounds of Ran Paul setting up that
vote in our sounds the day. But now you have
(02:17):
the sounds of our national correspondent Rory O'Neil telling you
the story. Where does it go from here?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Rory?
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Hey there, Michael, Well, some questions about where it goes
from here. The chairman of that committee, as you said,
Senator Ran Paul, wants to go directly from the committee
right to the DOJ with a referral for a contempt,
investigative investigation or prosecution of doctor Fauci for refusing to
answer questions.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Some have said, wait a minute, you.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Got to go through the full Senate first, and then
that needs sixty votes to get the referral to the DOJ.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
So maybe he's cutting the line.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
And do we want that, because you know, it's one
thing when your party's in charge, it's another one the
other party takes over. Do you want really want to
set that precedent. So we'll see if the DOJ how
they want to move. But clearly a lot of frustration
lingers after doctor Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than
one hundred times during his I was going to say testimony,
(03:08):
but lack of testimony last week.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
If you have ears to hear, if you have eyes
to see, and this is just from the diary, we
still have the phone now that apparently they have information
from who knows where that saga leads us the damage
has been done for Anthony Fauci, unless you're just caught
in a matrix in ignoring it. Ultimately, though, Rory, don't
(03:31):
we feel like his greatest vulnerabilities or the greatest opportunities
for justice lie at the state level or in civil court.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Well, yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
So sure about civil but certainly in states where I
think three attorneys general are currently launching investigations to see
whether or not doctor Fauci could be prosecuted under some
state charge. Because, of course, that pardon that President Biden
issued on his way out the door in January of
twenty five only covers federal charges, which is why on
this state avenue may be the best way or the
(04:04):
most viable option for considering a criminal prosecution.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, there's a lot of evident I mean, people are
always thrown around. I'm gonna sue you. I'm going to
sue you. Gotta have damages, so right, you know, unless
you can, but there are people if you and there's
a lot of evidence of what was known and not
known about this vaccine and what was known and not
known or misleading about the protocols or information given to
(04:29):
leaders whether it was at the federal level to president
or state level governors. U and people with literal damages
from the vaccine, some lost losing their life. Now, a
lot of that was covered and that's part of the
scandal too. But there's I think there's some civil vulnerability too.
But I know there's anybody that really thinks that the
(04:50):
cost of this precedent when someone else is in power
is worth what little slap there'd be from a contempt
of Congress, rightw But I'd also.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Like to see, Yeah, I want to see more clarity
on what it does mean for when you have these
kinds of preemptive presidential pardons. What does it mean for
that future testimony. It's still a little bit of gray
law in there, because you do want them, you want
the information from that witness now that they've been pardoned.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Well, that's what I'm saying. So there is some people
out there probably yelling at their radio. Could this contemptive
Could this contempt of Congress lead to him being forced
to come back and answer these questions?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Right? And that's what we're hoping to find out.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Doesn't yield some agreement where they say, okay, he will
answer the questions as to what color his tie is
and what.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Color of the carpet.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Income needed to buy a typical home as one hundred
and ten thousand average household income in America's eighty three thousand.
I think those numbers don't add up. That's because they don't.
Ory will do the math for you when he comes
back in the third hour. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello
to my little friend. He's the CEO of the American
Policy Route round Table. He is the host of the
(06:01):
Public Square, and he is our senior contributor David Snati, who,
by the way, never responded to my long text response yesterday,
very hurtful. Did you catch the joke I was? I
was going into news conference voice, what excuse? I played
the worst golf of my life this week and you
made a reference to it, and so that I launched
into my It's the kind of thing I only do
(06:23):
for you.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh oh, it goes on.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Would you want to read it out loud?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You can?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
This is.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Wow. I used to do that to my dad. I
would leave messages that would be like five minutes long,
and then at the end I'd go and to prove
that you listened to this entire message. The code word
is you know whatever, pumpkin. And every time my dad
would call hey mo, pumpkin, and I thought only my
(06:53):
dad would sit and listen to me going on and
on five minutes of nonsense.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
But not you.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You didn't even respond. I have every excuse the golf
freaking give in that one news conferenceative, this is extraordinary
and this is this, by the way, is the show
coming to you?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I've been listening.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, I don't. I don't think those words should ever
be uttered again. It gets it.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
That's it. We banned.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Okay, well, I mean it's just it's Friday. I just
don't know how many more of these groundhog Day type
stories I can do. I mean, all right, now we're
getting to it. Yeah, so, but let's do this. Look,
I get no, but I get the big picture of
the game. And you and I encourage each other always
in this. We are in the obedience business, not the
(07:32):
results business. So you know, we speak the truth, and
what God does with that is his business, not mine.
What we do every day in the exercise of understanding
the hour in which we're living, what's happening and what's
coming next, is really about us going it through it together.
(07:53):
That's really what the beauty is. I mean when I
look back at my marriage, what makes it great? Well,
ultimately all the good, all the bad, all the expected,
all the unexpected, and one giant to pay tribute to
Valerie Meatball. And why am I so close to my
wife because we lived all of that together. Some things
(08:15):
won our way, some things didn't, but all things made
us closer. So that's kind of what your morning show
is about. We don't always get our way, and something
we talk about today does not happen tomorrow. And unlike
when you're mowing the lawn and you get to see
every row. I mean, that's why mowing a lawn and
vacuum is just so pleasurable, right, it's just immediate response.
(08:36):
But yeah, it does get frustrated. I mean a headline
like President Trump is working to finalize a deal to
completely reopen straight at hormones. Seriously, what on earth could
I possibly say about that?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Even if you had what was that?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Even if you had a deal, It's nothing but a
dude wipe, all right? And then or how about this one?
Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell has been discharged from rehab he's
now at home recovering from his fall in June. Who
doesn't have an elderly parent that we've lived this process.
This guy's ad end to freaking life. He's not a senator.
The heck's going on? And now I'm sitting here thinking
of Bill Lee, somebody I helped get elected. I can't
(09:10):
think of one thing this man did for eight years,
and then before him, his predecessor Haslam, eight years, that
he ever did. I guess in Haslam's case, we stumbled
on Okay, well, he's the free Community College, which I
do think is a brilliant idea, by the way, but
you know, and then here comes Marsha Blackburn at seventy
four years old, wouldn't talk to anybody, wouldn't debate anybody,
and she just coasts her way in at forty three percent.
(09:31):
I'm just like, come on, I'd rather talk about, you know,
my FOURD Thunderbird. I don't know, fallen.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Asleep with the wheel, which which is a great metaphor
for America.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Sleep with the Wheel stories were a little bit shaky.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Well, can I just.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Add one before we do part of the challenge. Remember
part of the challenge we were in Oklahoma on KFAQ,
and we were going we took listeners to the state
legislature for a major issue, and we were driving on
the interstate from Tulsa to Oklahoma City at ninety miles
(10:07):
an hour and Gwen Freeman, who was my co host,
launched into one of her stories that have way too
many details and go nowhere. And Andrew calls it glazing over.
I didn't glaze over. I glazed out. I fell asleep.
I don't know how long we tried to go backtrack
and figure it out. We think I was asleep for
(10:28):
over eighty seconds before they realized they were in a
vehicle going.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Eighty miles an hour and the driver was asleep.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
It's my favorite audios that are wondering whether this program
is safe for children. I have never seen you in
that experience. This is something that is historic but not
relevant to the hour. I've never seen you even close
to falling asleep in your in your audib Well, yeah, now,
I don't you know. I have a seapat machine.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I was probably borderline narcoleptic with sleep pack.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Which for anyone that's listening to the show for more
than one day would say, I never could possibly imagine that.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Well.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
And by the way, we're not talking about drugs and
alcohol here, we're.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Just talking about it.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I mean, you know Glenn's stories that would put any
man to sleep, all right, But what do you make
of all that? I mean, comment on what we were
just talking about, because I don't want anybody to get discouraged.
One of the most challenging scriptures in all the Bible
is do not grow weary in doing good. It's the
greatest temptation in life, for in.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Due time you'll read a harvest.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That's the end of that past, of course.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
But now there's the other side to that, and the
reason that we're where we are today goes back to
something else that's been a maximum in America for a
long time, and that's what you're teach in the classroom today.
You'll find in your government tomorrow. Well, we've taught the
world that humans are nothing more than accidents, and that
government is really nothing more than an expression of our
(11:52):
color of our skin, our socioeconomics, or the way we
practice sexuality. And that's what we've been teaching people for
fifty years in school. And we should be surprised that
what we see at the polls today. Now that kind
of sounds like a school mark coming down on people. No,
it's it's just very simple. We honestly do reap what
we sew. The good news is we can change, but
(12:14):
it does take time to turn the ship of state around.
Another maxim politics is downstream of culture. Well, that's another
way of saying truth has consequences. And if you change
your truth platform and you tell people that they're timeless,
chance pless matter and the stuff that the Supreme Courts
told us, the stuff we've taught kids in our classrooms,
(12:35):
the stuff that they've heard from pulpits or haven't heard
from pulpits even worse is coming home to roost, all right,
So we got to deal with it. The wonderful thing
about our culture is that we have systems set up
that when we rediscover them, we can overcome. Now, the
other thing that the news of this day proves is
(12:57):
something that is often forgotten.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
So it sounds like news, and that's what all politics is. Local.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
It is local right now, the whole Max Miller syndrome,
the state or the congressman from Ohio, whether he's in,
whether he's out a divorce, and I'm actually I'm listening
on CNN the news commentator're talking about a blue bunny
stuff toy, all right, and whether or not the congressman
was gaming his family with the blue bunny stuff.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
All right.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
This is a conversation between a member of Congress and
his father in law United States senator that's now on
CNN in prime time. Okay, this is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
But when you look across, but it will be on
every voter's mind in the district. So, but politics comes
(13:44):
down to being local because our system was set up
that ultimately it's not national news. It's ultimately carried out
in reality at the local level. So all these primaries
you go across, I listen to all the primarieship for
you over the last several weeks.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
They'll prove it's local. It's a local situation.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Well, our ultimate question for you today and we'll get
back to it right after the break is and we
had Andy Ogle's an incumbent number of Congress defeated. Yeah,
local and and some of it is sure national will
make the headline Trump endorsed candidate loses like it's about that. No,
(14:23):
they redrew the risk district lines and he said some
pretty outrageous things and embarrassing things, and so you know,
it's one thing when when somebody you know is on
the other side being embarrassing. It's one thing when they're
embarrassing it on your side. You know, you want to
end that. So there are a lot of factors there.
Marcia kind of limps over the finish line, and at
(14:44):
forty three percent, I mean you can look at that
and go, well, if Fritz wasn't in the race, I
think Rose would have beat her. But here comes and
we've been living this for sixteen years, so what the heck,
what's another eight We're going to have a warm body
and no real leadership potent. I mean, even in her
acceptance speech last night, it was all national issues. Now
(15:04):
she's going to doge the state. I mean, this person's
been immersed in the club of one hundred. She doesn't
even I don't even know if she's in touch with
the challenges of Tennessee. And you know, and then we
got into the conversation about her predecessor, Bill Lee, and
can anybody name one thing he's done? And somebody brought
up the Free Community College, But that wasn't him, it
was Haslam. What he did do was secure online gaming
(15:27):
that's destroying families in Tennessee and some pretty poor decisions
during COVID. So you know you reput you, so we'll
get to that. But the main question is from Alsied
to last night's results in Tennessee. You know what did
this week's primaries and results show us about the two
party system failure? What does it show us and what
(15:50):
does it say about America? More with David Zanatti when
we come back. Listen, what's happening right now in the
Middle East is not just another headline because it can
hit your wallet. And why well, and there's uncertainly in
the Middle East. Oil is unstable, and then everything follows.
Gas prices rise, shipping costs bike, and suddenly your dollar
doesn't go as far and it's already not going far enough.
(16:11):
We've seen this before, and now banks are forecasting even
higher gold and silver prices. So the question of the
morning is are you positioned for what's coming next? And
if you're considering gold and silver, I just say who
you work with matters most. I trust Layer Capital. They've

from season twenty seven, and my morning show is your
Morning Jerm with Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Hi, it's Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard weekday
mornings in great cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis,
in Nashville, Tennessee. We got you covered in California, San Diego,
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to be a
part of your morning Routine. We're thrilled you're here. Now
enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 9 (17:40):
Morning Michael, Jeffrey read Hi, I just want to welcome
all the new listeners from all across the country. I'm
sitting here at the kitchen table with my crumb cake
and just wondering whether or not I should get some
more eight o'clock coffee for the percolator or just get
another Jara Sanco and I have a great weekend.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Love your show.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Well it's Friday, that means Friday with forty seven. You
need the real deal coming up next hour. Oh, crumb
cake sounds perfect, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Now?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
That would cheer me up. Marshall Blackburn is the winner
of the Tennessee Republican primary. President Trump working to finalize
a deal to open the Strait of Horror moves. Mitch McConnell.
He's been discharged from rehab. He's now rehabbing at home.
He's not being a senator. But such as life. Big
John promised you an iron lock the under in the
(18:30):
Hall of Fame game. Well, just the opposite happened. The
Carolina Panthers defeated the Arizona Cardinals in Canton, Ohio last night.
Thirty three to thirty was the last second walk off
touchdown run to end it. Meanwhile, to show you how
to touch I am. I was watching the Indiana Fever
in overtime lose by two to Vegas Asis thirty six
(18:52):
minutes after the hour. Welcome to Friday, August the seventh,
twenty twenty six. Only one chance to live this day
and understand it together, because we're all in it together.
David's NATI answer the question of what this week's primaries
reveal about the two party system failure as well as
what it says about America when we continue. But first,
they don't call him the pool King for nothing. Our
White House correspondent John Decker, what did you have? Nine questions?
(19:16):
Pretty soon he's going to clear the room and it's
just going to be a one on one with you
in the oval. I don't know how many questions you
got in and were any of them the one I
asked you to ask.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
No, Unfortunately, no, I have.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
No It is not my morning show.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I have no pull whatsoever around here. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
No, Look, I think I asked questions that were relevant
on a number of issues. I asked the President about
what are you sign?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Wait?
Speaker 5 (19:42):
A minute.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
You just said I'm irrelevant.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
No, you misunderstood me. I'm just simply signing. The President
called us in because he signed an executive order on
birthright citizenship. We had no idea when you and I
spoke yesterday that that's what the President was going to
sign in execut order on and that was the focus
of my first two questions for the president.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Well, let's walk through that and then we'll get to
finally maybe his Attorney General getting confirmation. But walk through
this birthright. We've gone around that lapse in that anxiety
pull about as many laps as we have with the
strait of horror moves. What is this executive order and
what does it do? Well, It's important.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
To keep in mind that is already illegal to come
to the United States with the sole purpose of giving
birth to a child and having that child obtain American citizenship.
That is already illegal. What this executive order, however, does,
is it establishes new rules and regulations at both the
Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security to
(20:45):
crack down in terms of making certain that this becomes
an event that is few and far between. And so
to me, if that is the focus of the executive order.
I don't see how that particular aspect of it gets challenged,
lenged successfully in federal court. The administration has every right
to enforce the laws. That's the president's job enforce the
(21:08):
laws that are already.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
On the books.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Is that why they call it the executive execute executive
branch of government?
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Exactly? All right.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I cannot believe it's taken this long, and then there's
been all this political jocking, but it looks like his
Attorney General, Todd blanche may actually get a confirmation.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Well, we will get a confirmation vote today, that is
for certain. And I asked the President yesterday about that
confirmation vote and whether he's lobbying Republican undecided members of
the Senate concerning this upcoming vote. The President said he is,
And I asked him specifically, are you reaching out to
Senator Murkowski? Are you reaching out to Senator Cassidy? I
(21:45):
mentioned those two senators in particular in the past hour.
Senator Murkowski said she is a no. So now it
only comes down to one senator to determine whether or
not the president's choice for attorney general is confirmed, and
that Senator Bill cass City of Louisiana.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
And just like that, like the movie Swing Vote, it
comes down to one. There hasn't been I don't know
that I've even heard the President react to I don't
know whether to call it an assassin, but a very armed,
troubled individual near him golfing in California. Has that come
up at all in and around the White House.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Well, it's come up. You know, the President was out
west this week when all of that went down. He
was out in Los Angeles and in Las Vegas. And
the President just made one comment about it, saying, you know,
this only happens with consequential presidents, and he said that
means that I'm consequential. Well, there was no doubt about
the fact that Donald Trump is consequential. I don't think
you need an assassination attempt to determine that. But that
(22:45):
was the president's only comment regarding that arrest that happened
out in Los Angeles, concerning that individual suspicious individual at
the Trump National Golf Club in.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
LA visiting with John Decker. It's been a is the
week of primaries earlier in the week and then and
Tennessee the President to have any comments about the I
don't know level of socialist slash Islamist victories.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Well, he's had comments this week for sure. You know,
the President believes that this is the winning hand for
Republicans as it relates to the midterms, and that is
focusing on what the Democratic Party, from the President's perspective,
has become. It's become a party dominated by progressives, a
party dominated by individuals who describe themselves as democratic socialists.
(23:35):
And the President believes if that is the choice that
voters have all across the country, then Republicans will do
well and hold on to the House and hold on
to the Senate. We shall see, of course, but that
is something that the President is taking away from. You know,
the most eye profile of victory by a progressive Democrat,
and that's the victory as it relates to the Democratic
(23:59):
nomination for the Senate in the state of Michigan.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I conclude with this, John, because you've been covering the
White House for thirty years, that's a lot of presidencies.
One of the silent, most relevant conversations is who is
the leader of the Democrat Party. I don't think it's
Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton. I don't think it's Barack Obama,
and I know it's not Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Could it be Hassan Biker. I don't think so, I
(24:23):
hope not. Could it be Mom Donnie? Could it be Lsied?
Could it be AOC? I mean who you just.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Mentioned Bernie Sanders, right, and.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Ultimately Bernie Sanders, who used to be on record I'm
not a Democrat, and you know now he's claiming he's
the Democrat Party. And if somebody like James Carvell doesn't
feel comfortable being in a party with Hassan Piker, he
should go start or find a new one. So it's
an amazing takeover in progress. But there is no question
(24:53):
that Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party
in my mind. I'm wondering if in yours and if
the there is a narrative to be set headed into
the general election cycle of this midterm, it's for him
to set and he's setting it.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
No, he's the leader, absolutely one. You know, you look
at any Republican primary over the course of the past
two years, if you have Donald Trump's endorsement, You're doing well.
You're likely winning that primary more often than not. You know,
there's been a few examples where that's not the case,
but generally that has been the case. And that's why,
you know, in South Carolina where I was earlier this week,
(25:28):
Darlene Graham believes that she's in a good spot in
terms of winning the Republican nomination for the US Senate,
succeeding her late brother, Senator Lindsay Graham. We'll see, you know,
that primary takes place on Tuesday. Early voting has already begun,
and we'll see who the top two finishers are that
will meet in the runoff on August the twenty fifth.
(25:48):
Today in the White House Briefing Room, we're going to
be talking about a lot of these things that you
and I just talked about, but in greater detail that
vote that will take place in a few hours for
Todd blanche on the Senate floor. Talking in addition to
that about the President's Executive Order on birthright Citizenship, specifically
(26:09):
this focus on those who come to this country to
give birth and allow their a newborn to obtain American
citizenship US citizenship. That will be the primary focus of
today's White House briefing room. And thank you so much
for promoting it, and I want to wish you a
great weekend. Michael, be well, be safe and we'll.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Talk on Monday.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
What I like about the White House Briefing Room is
he talks about relevant things, whereas I just talk about
what's irrelevant. But John uninterrupted for fifteen minutes, the White
House Briefing Room with John Decker. Just searchs John Decker, Jon, Andy,
your iHeart app or the White House Briefing Room. It'll
pop right up. Give it a program position. So it's
waiting for you every morning. And you have a great
weekend too, John. We'll talk next week. Our senior contributor
(26:52):
David Zanatis here. We're also breaking down some of the numbers,
and last night the big numbers are Marsha Blackburn. Let
me go through these four you real quickly, listeners, and
this is with ninety five percent of the votes in
Marsha Blackburn ends up with three hundred and eleven thousand
votes statewide. This is not a lot, by the way.
Two hundred and thirty five thousand go to John Rose.
(27:13):
Monte Fritz gets one hundred and sixty seven thousand. I
don't know if this tells you something, but two thousand
and ninety six votes were writ ins, So I can
look at this and say, Okay, your Republican nominee is
your nominee with forty three percent of her own party
support as election turns out. Now, that doesn't mean they
won't unite Coles behind her and that she's likely to win.
(27:34):
It just means it's not, you know, an overwhelming level
of energy and enthusiasm. You could even make the case
if Monti Fritz hadn't been in the race, John Rose
probably would have won. Andy Ogle's being ousted as an incumbent,
and the dairy farmer Charlie Hatcher is going to be
(27:54):
headed to the general election and Andy Ogles is going
to be leaving Congress, or the two big results and
then we had earlier results money focused on Michigan and Missouri.
But you know we have this, at least in the
primary process, rise of socialists and Islamists in the Democrat Party. David,
what is all this, this week's portion of this primary
(28:18):
process reveal about the two party systems, failure or future
and America?
Speaker 7 (28:24):
Well, you were asking the question of where are the
leaders Where's the leader of the Democrat Party, the leader
of the Democrat Party, the leadership of the Democrat Party
has been a group of billionaires. They've hollowed out the
political party and they put back in what they want.
And they've been doing that for the last twenty years,
and Podesta was sitting in the White House for most
(28:45):
of that time, orchestrating it with George Sorows all the
way back to two thousand and three. This isn't conspiracy.
This is in plain sight. These things actually happen. So
right now what they're doing is sitting out and holding
their keeping their powder drive. They're using Mandami and the
Democratic Socialists of America to see how far they can get.
(29:07):
It's a public relations campaign, just like they use BLM.
Those billionaires aren't for the agenda of BLM. They're not
for the agenda of DSA. They're for the agenda of
reconstructing America with them ultimately gaining control. Again, not a conspiracy,
it's in plane sight. Soros and his network of billionaires
(29:27):
haven't been investing billions of dollars because they're charitable, kind
people who love the flag. They've got an agenda. So
what they're doing is they're letting the radicals right now
run wild because they think it helps them position for
twenty twenty eight. Right now, they're playing the long game.
They know that in the last two years of Trump's administration,
(29:48):
unless they were to gain the House and the Senate,
and even if they did, he'll lead to everything. This
isn't the play. Their play is twenty twenty eight. So
they're letting the renegades run wild to see how much
they can tear up, burned down and position more radicalism
for twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's what's going on. It's interesting you bring that up
the narrative, and I think this leads to Hassan Piker,
this leads to Abdullah Lsied perhaps like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth
Warren AOC and some others that are more socialists than Islamist.
They talk always about these corporate dollars and outside money
(30:26):
coming into influence and what you need is representation for you,
the hardworking people. And isn't it ironic they play the
outside money game when all of theirs comes from the
top and outside and not even companies outside the country,
radical anti American, anti Israel activists. Hopefully the American voters
can see through that. Well, here's what we know. The
(30:47):
DNC is broke. Here's what we know their chair is
probably about to get ousted. Here's what we do know.
Socialism and Islamis have united to take over the party.
Now you even have Bernie Sanders calling at his party
when he's not even a Democrat, and so that's a
hostile takeover. All headed in to a midterm general where
(31:09):
they may have gone way too far left, so far
left that it Trump's their Trump derangement focus. So how
does this all play out in the general? I mean
there's a lot of people in Michigan that said, we
voted for l Sied knowing he would be more beatable.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
Well, that's the perfect question, because if any of their
radicals win, then the mainstream media will take that singular
race wherever it is and say, see, here's the point,
this is what you're going to get in twenty twenty eight.
The DSA is now the legitimate voice of the Democrat Party.
Did you catch upon something like that? And did you
(31:46):
catch what David Axelrod said. He talked about the losing
of a radical and a primary in Wisconsin being good
for l Sayed in Michigan because you know you don't
want too many of them and keep position. Everybody'll focus
identify and attacks, so you know there's a game being played.
I don't think the Podesta's, Axel Rods, Obamas or really
(32:08):
high end left grass top money is sitting with no thoughts.
They are letting this game play out.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Well.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
The irony in our lifetimes is we still have a
chance to keep the Republic alive and functioning if we
do our jobs.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
But you can see what's coming if we don't.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Looking at this week's results, I'm betting on the parasite.
The parasites are looking good for the party takeover, but
they're just not looking good for the general election. So
ultimately things tend to even their way out. I always
say this, even at moments like this, never underestimate the
intelligence of the American people and voters. They sometimes just
(32:53):
when you think and give up on them, they show
you they're still around and they can get it right eventually.
And I think that's coming coming even sooner than twenty
twenty eight. David, great insights. Great to have you back.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
I will see you on the Ohio swing of my
golf tour soon. All right, if you're like most people,

(34:43):
right now, but a deal has not yet been finalized.
Tammy Trihio has more.
Speaker 10 (34:49):
Say that negotiations with Theron are continuing, and then in
the meantime, the US continues to Blockadanie in ports and
have military control of the waterway. Yeah, and he thinks
we're doing fine. The President also cantinued to deny the
military was running out of munitions and claimed the US
had an unlimited supply of certain types of munians, insisting
that we're in great shape. I'm Tammy Trheo.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Marshall Blackburn has moved on to the general election and
an almost a certain election to being the next governor
of Tennessee. Scott Carr as the leaderst from.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
Washington, a longtime Tennessee lawmaker, is projected to beat out
Congressman John Rose and state Representative Monte Fritz, all were
willing to replace term limited Republican Governor Bill Lee. President
Trump has been an ally of Blackburn, but has also
backed Rose in the past and did not endorse a
candidate in that Republican contest. Meantime, Memphis City Councilwoman Jerry
(35:38):
Green is projected to win the Democratic primary for governor,
beating out Carneta Atwater and Kevin McCants.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
I'm Scott Carr, Barbara streisand can add children's book author

the Carolina Panthers defeated the Arizona Cardinals thirty three to thirty,
a surprisingly high scoring game in preseason at the Hall
of Fame Game in Katin, Ohio. It was a last
second walk off touchdown run by Haines King to give
the Panthers to victory. Reds beat the A's Guardians loss
to the Mets. Pirates lost to the Brewers, Tigers bounded
the Mariners eleven to nothing, Angels over the O's, Phillies
(36:28):

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Had in the Yaki's last night.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's a knock kna shit in Yakis.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
It is eight minutes after the hour walking to Friday,
August the seventh year of Our Lord, twenty twenty six
on the air, streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. This
is your morning show. President Trump working to finalize a
deal to completely open the strait of Horn Mouz. That's
been going on for five months. What makes you think
it's happening now? Marsha Blackburn limps over the finish line
and squeaks out a Tennessee Republican primary victory for governor.
(01:40):
She has poised now to become the first woman governor
of the state of Tennessee. And the Senate committee has
voted to hold doctor Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress.
And if you were expecting a boring, low scoring Hall
of Fame game.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
In Canton, Ohio, you didn't get it.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
The Carolina Panthers defeated the Arizona Cardinals thirty three to
thirty in a last second walk off touchdown. Run. A
Senate committee that voted to hold the former White House
Health advisor, doctor Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress happened yesterday.
We'll have the sounds of Ran Paul setting up that
vote in our sounds the day. But now you have
(02:17):
the sounds of our national correspondent Rory O'Neil telling you
the story. Where does it go from here?
Speaker 5 (02:21):
Rory?
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Hey there, Michael, Well, some questions about where it goes
from here. The chairman of that committee, as you said,
Senator Ran Paul, wants to go directly from the committee
right to the DOJ with a referral for a contempt,
investigative investigation or prosecution of doctor Fauci for refusing to
answer questions.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Some have said, wait a minute, you.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Got to go through the full Senate first, and then
that needs sixty votes to get the referral to the DOJ.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
So maybe he's cutting the line.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
And do we want that, because you know, it's one
thing when your party's in charge, it's another one the
other party takes over. Do you want really want to
set that precedent. So we'll see if the DOJ how
they want to move. But clearly a lot of frustration
lingers after doctor Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than
one hundred times during his I was going to say testimony,
(03:08):
but lack of testimony last week.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
If you have ears to hear, if you have eyes
to see, and this is just from the diary, we
still have the phone now that apparently they have information
from who knows where that saga leads us the damage
has been done for Anthony Fauci, unless you're just caught
in a matrix in ignoring it. Ultimately, though, Rory, don't
(03:31):
we feel like his greatest vulnerabilities or the greatest opportunities
for justice lie at the state level or in civil court.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
Well, yeah, I'm not.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
So sure about civil but certainly in states where I
think three attorneys general are currently launching investigations to see
whether or not doctor Fauci could be prosecuted under some
state charge. Because, of course, that pardon that President Biden
issued on his way out the door in January of
twenty five only covers federal charges, which is why on
this state avenue may be the best way or the
(04:04):
most viable option for considering a criminal prosecution.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, there's a lot of evident I mean, people are
always thrown around. I'm gonna sue you. I'm going to
sue you. Gotta have damages, so right, you know, unless
you can, but there are people if you and there's
a lot of evidence of what was known and not
known about this vaccine and what was known and not
known or misleading about the protocols or information given to
(04:29):
leaders whether it was at the federal level to president
or state level governors. U and people with literal damages
from the vaccine, some lost losing their life. Now, a
lot of that was covered and that's part of the
scandal too. But there's I think there's some civil vulnerability too.
But I know there's anybody that really thinks that the
(04:50):
cost of this precedent when someone else is in power
is worth what little slap there'd be from a contempt
of Congress, rightw But I'd also.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
Like to see, Yeah, I want to see more clarity
on what it does mean for when you have these
kinds of preemptive presidential pardons. What does it mean for
that future testimony. It's still a little bit of gray
law in there, because you do want them, you want
the information from that witness now that they've been pardoned.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Well, that's what I'm saying. So there is some people
out there probably yelling at their radio. Could this contemptive
Could this contempt of Congress lead to him being forced
to come back and answer these questions?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Right? And that's what we're hoping to find out.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Doesn't yield some agreement where they say, okay, he will
answer the questions as to what color his tie is
and what.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Color of the carpet.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Income needed to buy a typical home as one hundred
and ten thousand average household income in America's eighty three thousand.
I think those numbers don't add up. That's because they don't.
Ory will do the math for you when he comes
back in the third hour. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello
to my little friend. He's the CEO of the American
Policy Route round Table. He is the host of the
(06:01):
Public Square, and he is our senior contributor David Snati, who,
by the way, never responded to my long text response yesterday,
very hurtful. Did you catch the joke I was? I
was going into news conference voice, what excuse? I played
the worst golf of my life this week and you
made a reference to it, and so that I launched
into my It's the kind of thing I only do
(06:23):
for you.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Oh oh, it goes on.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Would you want to read it out loud?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You can?
Speaker 5 (06:30):
This is.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Wow. I used to do that to my dad. I
would leave messages that would be like five minutes long,
and then at the end I'd go and to prove
that you listened to this entire message. The code word
is you know whatever, pumpkin. And every time my dad
would call hey mo, pumpkin, and I thought only my
(06:53):
dad would sit and listen to me going on and
on five minutes of nonsense.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
But not you.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
You didn't even respond. I have every excuse the golf
freaking give in that one news conferenceative, this is extraordinary
and this is this, by the way, is the show
coming to you?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
I've been listening.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, I don't. I don't think those words should ever
be uttered again. It gets it.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
That's it. We banned.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Okay, well, I mean it's just it's Friday. I just
don't know how many more of these groundhog Day type
stories I can do. I mean, all right, now we're
getting to it. Yeah, so, but let's do this. Look,
I get no, but I get the big picture of
the game. And you and I encourage each other always
in this. We are in the obedience business, not the
(07:32):
results business. So you know, we speak the truth, and
what God does with that is his business, not mine.
What we do every day in the exercise of understanding
the hour in which we're living, what's happening and what's
coming next, is really about us going it through it together.
(07:53):
That's really what the beauty is. I mean when I
look back at my marriage, what makes it great? Well,
ultimately all the good, all the bad, all the expected,
all the unexpected, and one giant to pay tribute to
Valerie Meatball. And why am I so close to my
wife because we lived all of that together. Some things
(08:15):
won our way, some things didn't, but all things made
us closer. So that's kind of what your morning show
is about. We don't always get our way, and something
we talk about today does not happen tomorrow. And unlike
when you're mowing the lawn and you get to see
every row. I mean, that's why mowing a lawn and
vacuum is just so pleasurable, right, it's just immediate response.
(08:36):
But yeah, it does get frustrated. I mean a headline
like President Trump is working to finalize a deal to
completely reopen straight at hormones. Seriously, what on earth could
I possibly say about that?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Even if you had what was that?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Even if you had a deal, It's nothing but a
dude wipe, all right? And then or how about this one?
Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell has been discharged from rehab he's
now at home recovering from his fall in June. Who
doesn't have an elderly parent that we've lived this process.
This guy's ad end to freaking life. He's not a senator.
The heck's going on? And now I'm sitting here thinking
of Bill Lee, somebody I helped get elected. I can't
(09:10):
think of one thing this man did for eight years,
and then before him, his predecessor Haslam, eight years, that
he ever did. I guess in Haslam's case, we stumbled
on Okay, well, he's the free Community College, which I
do think is a brilliant idea, by the way, but
you know, and then here comes Marsha Blackburn at seventy
four years old, wouldn't talk to anybody, wouldn't debate anybody,
and she just coasts her way in at forty three percent.
(09:31):
I'm just like, come on, I'd rather talk about, you know,
my FOURD Thunderbird. I don't know, fallen.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Asleep with the wheel, which which is a great metaphor
for America.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
Sleep with the Wheel stories were a little bit shaky.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Well, can I just.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Add one before we do part of the challenge. Remember
part of the challenge we were in Oklahoma on KFAQ,
and we were going we took listeners to the state
legislature for a major issue, and we were driving on
the interstate from Tulsa to Oklahoma City at ninety miles
(10:07):
an hour and Gwen Freeman, who was my co host,
launched into one of her stories that have way too
many details and go nowhere. And Andrew calls it glazing over.
I didn't glaze over. I glazed out. I fell asleep.
I don't know how long we tried to go backtrack
and figure it out. We think I was asleep for
(10:28):
over eighty seconds before they realized they were in a
vehicle going.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Eighty miles an hour and the driver was asleep.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
It's my favorite audios that are wondering whether this program
is safe for children. I have never seen you in
that experience. This is something that is historic but not
relevant to the hour. I've never seen you even close
to falling asleep in your in your audib Well, yeah, now,
I don't you know. I have a seapat machine.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I was probably borderline narcoleptic with sleep pack.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Which for anyone that's listening to the show for more
than one day would say, I never could possibly imagine that.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Well.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
And by the way, we're not talking about drugs and
alcohol here, we're.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Just talking about it.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I mean, you know Glenn's stories that would put any
man to sleep, all right, But what do you make
of all that? I mean, comment on what we were
just talking about, because I don't want anybody to get discouraged.
One of the most challenging scriptures in all the Bible
is do not grow weary in doing good. It's the
greatest temptation in life, for in.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Due time you'll read a harvest.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
That's the end of that past, of course.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
But now there's the other side to that, and the
reason that we're where we are today goes back to
something else that's been a maximum in America for a
long time, and that's what you're teach in the classroom today.
You'll find in your government tomorrow. Well, we've taught the
world that humans are nothing more than accidents, and that
government is really nothing more than an expression of our
(11:52):
color of our skin, our socioeconomics, or the way we
practice sexuality. And that's what we've been teaching people for
fifty years in school. And we should be surprised that
what we see at the polls today. Now that kind
of sounds like a school mark coming down on people. No,
it's it's just very simple. We honestly do reap what
we sew. The good news is we can change, but
(12:14):
it does take time to turn the ship of state around.
Another maxim politics is downstream of culture. Well, that's another
way of saying truth has consequences. And if you change
your truth platform and you tell people that they're timeless,
chance pless matter and the stuff that the Supreme Courts
told us, the stuff we've taught kids in our classrooms,
(12:35):
the stuff that they've heard from pulpits or haven't heard
from pulpits even worse is coming home to roost, all right,
So we got to deal with it. The wonderful thing
about our culture is that we have systems set up
that when we rediscover them, we can overcome. Now, the
other thing that the news of this day proves is
(12:57):
something that is often forgotten.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
So it sounds like news, and that's what all politics is. Local.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
It is local right now, the whole Max Miller syndrome,
the state or the congressman from Ohio, whether he's in,
whether he's out a divorce, and I'm actually I'm listening
on CNN the news commentator're talking about a blue bunny
stuff toy, all right, and whether or not the congressman
was gaming his family with the blue bunny stuff.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
All right.
Speaker 7 (13:24):
This is a conversation between a member of Congress and
his father in law United States senator that's now on
CNN in prime time. Okay, this is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
But when you look across, but it will be on
every voter's mind in the district. So, but politics comes
(13:44):
down to being local because our system was set up
that ultimately it's not national news. It's ultimately carried out
in reality at the local level. So all these primaries
you go across, I listen to all the primarieship for
you over the last several weeks.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
They'll prove it's local. It's a local situation.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Well, our ultimate question for you today and we'll get
back to it right after the break is and we
had Andy Ogle's an incumbent number of Congress defeated. Yeah,
local and and some of it is sure national will
make the headline Trump endorsed candidate loses like it's about that. No,
(14:23):
they redrew the risk district lines and he said some
pretty outrageous things and embarrassing things, and so you know,
it's one thing when when somebody you know is on
the other side being embarrassing. It's one thing when they're
embarrassing it on your side. You know, you want to
end that. So there are a lot of factors there.
Marcia kind of limps over the finish line, and at
(14:44):
forty three percent, I mean you can look at that
and go, well, if Fritz wasn't in the race, I
think Rose would have beat her. But here comes and
we've been living this for sixteen years, so what the heck,
what's another eight We're going to have a warm body
and no real leadership potent. I mean, even in her
acceptance speech last night, it was all national issues. Now
(15:04):
she's going to doge the state. I mean, this person's
been immersed in the club of one hundred. She doesn't
even I don't even know if she's in touch with
the challenges of Tennessee. And you know, and then we
got into the conversation about her predecessor, Bill Lee, and
can anybody name one thing he's done? And somebody brought
up the Free Community College, But that wasn't him, it
was Haslam. What he did do was secure online gaming
(15:27):
that's destroying families in Tennessee and some pretty poor decisions
during COVID. So you know you reput you, so we'll
get to that. But the main question is from Alsied
to last night's results in Tennessee. You know what did
this week's primaries and results show us about the two
party system failure? What does it show us and what
(15:50):
does it say about America? More with David Zanatti when
we come back. Listen, what's happening right now in the
Middle East is not just another headline because it can
hit your wallet. And why well, and there's uncertainly in
the Middle East. Oil is unstable, and then everything follows.
Gas prices rise, shipping costs bike, and suddenly your dollar
doesn't go as far and it's already not going far enough.
(16:11):
We've seen this before, and now banks are forecasting even
higher gold and silver prices. So the question of the
morning is are you positioned for what's coming next? And
if you're considering gold and silver, I just say who
you work with matters most. I trust Layer Capital. They've

Hey, this is Adam David, the winner of the Voice
from season twenty seven, and my morning show is your
Morning Jerm with Michael del Jorna.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Hi, it's Michael. Your Morning Show can be heard weekday
mornings in great cities like Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Memphis,
in Nashville, Tennessee. We got you covered in California, San Diego,
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento. We'd love to be a
part of your morning Routine. We're thrilled you're here. Now
enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 9 (17:40):
Morning Michael, Jeffrey read Hi, I just want to welcome
all the new listeners from all across the country. I'm
sitting here at the kitchen table with my crumb cake
and just wondering whether or not I should get some
more eight o'clock coffee for the percolator or just get
another Jara Sanco and I have a great weekend.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Love your show.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Well it's Friday, that means Friday with forty seven. You
need the real deal coming up next hour. Oh, crumb
cake sounds perfect, doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Now?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
That would cheer me up. Marshall Blackburn is the winner
of the Tennessee Republican primary. President Trump working to finalize
a deal to open the Strait of Horror moves. Mitch McConnell.
He's been discharged from rehab. He's now rehabbing at home.
He's not being a senator. But such as life. Big
John promised you an iron lock the under in the
(18:30):
Hall of Fame game. Well, just the opposite happened. The
Carolina Panthers defeated the Arizona Cardinals in Canton, Ohio last night.
Thirty three to thirty was the last second walk off
touchdown run to end it. Meanwhile, to show you how
to touch I am. I was watching the Indiana Fever
in overtime lose by two to Vegas Asis thirty six
(18:52):
minutes after the hour. Welcome to Friday, August the seventh,
twenty twenty six. Only one chance to live this day
and understand it together, because we're all in it together.
David's NATI answer the question of what this week's primaries
reveal about the two party system failure as well as
what it says about America when we continue. But first,
they don't call him the pool King for nothing. Our
White House correspondent John Decker, what did you have? Nine questions?
(19:16):
Pretty soon he's going to clear the room and it's
just going to be a one on one with you
in the oval. I don't know how many questions you
got in and were any of them the one I
asked you to ask.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
No, Unfortunately, no, I have.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
No It is not my morning show.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I have no pull whatsoever around here. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
No, Look, I think I asked questions that were relevant
on a number of issues. I asked the President about
what are you sign?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Wait?
Speaker 5 (19:42):
A minute.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
You just said I'm irrelevant.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
No, you misunderstood me. I'm just simply signing. The President
called us in because he signed an executive order on
birthright citizenship. We had no idea when you and I
spoke yesterday that that's what the President was going to
sign in execut order on and that was the focus
of my first two questions for the president.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Well, let's walk through that and then we'll get to
finally maybe his Attorney General getting confirmation. But walk through
this birthright. We've gone around that lapse in that anxiety
pull about as many laps as we have with the
strait of horror moves. What is this executive order and
what does it do? Well, It's important.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
To keep in mind that is already illegal to come
to the United States with the sole purpose of giving
birth to a child and having that child obtain American citizenship.
That is already illegal. What this executive order, however, does,
is it establishes new rules and regulations at both the
Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security to
(20:45):
crack down in terms of making certain that this becomes
an event that is few and far between. And so
to me, if that is the focus of the executive order.
I don't see how that particular aspect of it gets challenged,
lenged successfully in federal court. The administration has every right
to enforce the laws. That's the president's job enforce the
(21:08):
laws that are already.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
On the books.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Is that why they call it the executive execute executive
branch of government?
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Exactly? All right.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I cannot believe it's taken this long, and then there's
been all this political jocking, but it looks like his
Attorney General, Todd blanche may actually get a confirmation.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Well, we will get a confirmation vote today, that is
for certain. And I asked the President yesterday about that
confirmation vote and whether he's lobbying Republican undecided members of
the Senate concerning this upcoming vote. The President said he is,
And I asked him specifically, are you reaching out to
Senator Murkowski? Are you reaching out to Senator Cassidy? I
(21:45):
mentioned those two senators in particular in the past hour.
Senator Murkowski said she is a no. So now it
only comes down to one senator to determine whether or
not the president's choice for attorney general is confirmed, and
that Senator Bill cass City of Louisiana.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
And just like that, like the movie Swing Vote, it
comes down to one. There hasn't been I don't know
that I've even heard the President react to I don't
know whether to call it an assassin, but a very armed,
troubled individual near him golfing in California. Has that come
up at all in and around the White House.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Well, it's come up. You know, the President was out
west this week when all of that went down. He
was out in Los Angeles and in Las Vegas. And
the President just made one comment about it, saying, you know,
this only happens with consequential presidents, and he said that
means that I'm consequential. Well, there was no doubt about
the fact that Donald Trump is consequential. I don't think
you need an assassination attempt to determine that. But that
(22:45):
was the president's only comment regarding that arrest that happened
out in Los Angeles, concerning that individual suspicious individual at
the Trump National Golf Club in.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
LA visiting with John Decker. It's been a is the
week of primaries earlier in the week and then and
Tennessee the President to have any comments about the I
don't know level of socialist slash Islamist victories.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Well, he's had comments this week for sure. You know,
the President believes that this is the winning hand for
Republicans as it relates to the midterms, and that is
focusing on what the Democratic Party, from the President's perspective,
has become. It's become a party dominated by progressives, a
party dominated by individuals who describe themselves as democratic socialists.
(23:35):
And the President believes if that is the choice that
voters have all across the country, then Republicans will do
well and hold on to the House and hold on
to the Senate. We shall see, of course, but that
is something that the President is taking away from. You know,
the most eye profile of victory by a progressive Democrat,
and that's the victory as it relates to the Democratic
(23:59):
nomination for the Senate in the state of Michigan.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I conclude with this, John, because you've been covering the
White House for thirty years, that's a lot of presidencies.
One of the silent, most relevant conversations is who is
the leader of the Democrat Party. I don't think it's
Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton. I don't think it's Barack Obama,
and I know it's not Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Could it be Hassan Biker. I don't think so, I
(24:23):
hope not. Could it be Mom Donnie? Could it be Lsied?
Could it be AOC? I mean who you just.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Mentioned Bernie Sanders, right, and.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Ultimately Bernie Sanders, who used to be on record I'm
not a Democrat, and you know now he's claiming he's
the Democrat Party. And if somebody like James Carvell doesn't
feel comfortable being in a party with Hassan Piker, he
should go start or find a new one. So it's
an amazing takeover in progress. But there is no question
(24:53):
that Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party
in my mind. I'm wondering if in yours and if
the there is a narrative to be set headed into
the general election cycle of this midterm, it's for him
to set and he's setting it.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
No, he's the leader, absolutely one. You know, you look
at any Republican primary over the course of the past
two years, if you have Donald Trump's endorsement, You're doing well.
You're likely winning that primary more often than not. You know,
there's been a few examples where that's not the case,
but generally that has been the case. And that's why,
you know, in South Carolina where I was earlier this week,
(25:28):
Darlene Graham believes that she's in a good spot in
terms of winning the Republican nomination for the US Senate,
succeeding her late brother, Senator Lindsay Graham. We'll see, you know,
that primary takes place on Tuesday. Early voting has already begun,
and we'll see who the top two finishers are that
will meet in the runoff on August the twenty fifth.
(25:48):
Today in the White House Briefing Room, we're going to
be talking about a lot of these things that you
and I just talked about, but in greater detail that
vote that will take place in a few hours for
Todd blanche on the Senate floor. Talking in addition to
that about the President's Executive Order on birthright Citizenship, specifically
(26:09):
this focus on those who come to this country to
give birth and allow their a newborn to obtain American
citizenship US citizenship. That will be the primary focus of
today's White House briefing room. And thank you so much
for promoting it, and I want to wish you a
great weekend. Michael, be well, be safe and we'll.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Talk on Monday.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
What I like about the White House Briefing Room is
he talks about relevant things, whereas I just talk about
what's irrelevant. But John uninterrupted for fifteen minutes, the White
House Briefing Room with John Decker. Just searchs John Decker, Jon, Andy,
your iHeart app or the White House Briefing Room. It'll
pop right up. Give it a program position. So it's
waiting for you every morning. And you have a great
weekend too, John. We'll talk next week. Our senior contributor
(26:52):
David Zanatis here. We're also breaking down some of the numbers,
and last night the big numbers are Marsha Blackburn. Let
me go through these four you real quickly, listeners, and
this is with ninety five percent of the votes in
Marsha Blackburn ends up with three hundred and eleven thousand
votes statewide. This is not a lot, by the way.
Two hundred and thirty five thousand go to John Rose.
(27:13):
Monte Fritz gets one hundred and sixty seven thousand. I
don't know if this tells you something, but two thousand
and ninety six votes were writ ins, So I can
look at this and say, Okay, your Republican nominee is
your nominee with forty three percent of her own party
support as election turns out. Now, that doesn't mean they
won't unite Coles behind her and that she's likely to win.
(27:34):
It just means it's not, you know, an overwhelming level
of energy and enthusiasm. You could even make the case
if Monti Fritz hadn't been in the race, John Rose
probably would have won. Andy Ogle's being ousted as an incumbent,
and the dairy farmer Charlie Hatcher is going to be
(27:54):
headed to the general election and Andy Ogles is going
to be leaving Congress, or the two big results and
then we had earlier results money focused on Michigan and Missouri.
But you know we have this, at least in the
primary process, rise of socialists and Islamists in the Democrat Party. David,
what is all this, this week's portion of this primary
(28:18):
process reveal about the two party systems, failure or future
and America?
Speaker 7 (28:24):
Well, you were asking the question of where are the
leaders Where's the leader of the Democrat Party, the leader
of the Democrat Party, the leadership of the Democrat Party
has been a group of billionaires. They've hollowed out the
political party and they put back in what they want.
And they've been doing that for the last twenty years,
and Podesta was sitting in the White House for most
(28:45):
of that time, orchestrating it with George Sorows all the
way back to two thousand and three. This isn't conspiracy.
This is in plain sight. These things actually happen. So
right now what they're doing is sitting out and holding
their keeping their powder drive. They're using Mandami and the
Democratic Socialists of America to see how far they can get.
(29:07):
It's a public relations campaign, just like they use BLM.
Those billionaires aren't for the agenda of BLM. They're not
for the agenda of DSA. They're for the agenda of
reconstructing America with them ultimately gaining control. Again, not a conspiracy,
it's in plane sight. Soros and his network of billionaires
(29:27):
haven't been investing billions of dollars because they're charitable, kind
people who love the flag. They've got an agenda. So
what they're doing is they're letting the radicals right now
run wild because they think it helps them position for
twenty twenty eight. Right now, they're playing the long game.
They know that in the last two years of Trump's administration,
(29:48):
unless they were to gain the House and the Senate,
and even if they did, he'll lead to everything. This
isn't the play. Their play is twenty twenty eight. So
they're letting the renegades run wild to see how much
they can tear up, burned down and position more radicalism
for twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's what's going on. It's interesting you bring that up
the narrative, and I think this leads to Hassan Piker,
this leads to Abdullah Lsied perhaps like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth
Warren AOC and some others that are more socialists than Islamist.
They talk always about these corporate dollars and outside money
(30:26):
coming into influence and what you need is representation for you,
the hardworking people. And isn't it ironic they play the
outside money game when all of theirs comes from the
top and outside and not even companies outside the country,
radical anti American, anti Israel activists. Hopefully the American voters
can see through that. Well, here's what we know. The
(30:47):
DNC is broke. Here's what we know their chair is
probably about to get ousted. Here's what we do know.
Socialism and Islamis have united to take over the party.
Now you even have Bernie Sanders calling at his party
when he's not even a Democrat, and so that's a
hostile takeover. All headed in to a midterm general where
(31:09):
they may have gone way too far left, so far
left that it Trump's their Trump derangement focus. So how
does this all play out in the general? I mean
there's a lot of people in Michigan that said, we
voted for l Sied knowing he would be more beatable.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
Well, that's the perfect question, because if any of their
radicals win, then the mainstream media will take that singular
race wherever it is and say, see, here's the point,
this is what you're going to get in twenty twenty eight.
The DSA is now the legitimate voice of the Democrat Party.
Did you catch upon something like that? And did you
(31:46):
catch what David Axelrod said. He talked about the losing
of a radical and a primary in Wisconsin being good
for l Sayed in Michigan because you know you don't
want too many of them and keep position. Everybody'll focus
identify and attacks, so you know there's a game being played.
I don't think the Podesta's, Axel Rods, Obamas or really
(32:08):
high end left grass top money is sitting with no thoughts.
They are letting this game play out.
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Well.
Speaker 7 (32:17):
The irony in our lifetimes is we still have a
chance to keep the Republic alive and functioning if we
do our jobs.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
But you can see what's coming if we don't.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Looking at this week's results, I'm betting on the parasite.
The parasites are looking good for the party takeover, but
they're just not looking good for the general election. So
ultimately things tend to even their way out. I always
say this, even at moments like this, never underestimate the
intelligence of the American people and voters. They sometimes just
(32:53):
when you think and give up on them, they show
you they're still around and they can get it right eventually.
And I think that's coming coming even sooner than twenty
twenty eight. David, great insights. Great to have you back.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
I will see you on the Ohio swing of my
golf tour soon. All right, if you're like most people,

Tammy Trihio has more.
Speaker 10 (34:49):
Say that negotiations with Theron are continuing, and then in
the meantime, the US continues to Blockadanie in ports and
have military control of the waterway. Yeah, and he thinks
we're doing fine. The President also cantinued to deny the
military was running out of munitions and claimed the US
had an unlimited supply of certain types of munians, insisting
that we're in great shape. I'm Tammy Trheo.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Marshall Blackburn has moved on to the general election and

of Tennessee. Scott Carr as the leaderst from.
Speaker 8 (35:16):
Washington, a longtime Tennessee lawmaker, is projected to beat out
Congressman John Rose and state Representative Monte Fritz, all were
willing to replace term limited Republican Governor Bill Lee. President
Trump has been an ally of Blackburn, but has also
backed Rose in the past and did not endorse a
candidate in that Republican contest. Meantime, Memphis City Councilwoman Jerry
(35:38):
Green is projected to win the Democratic primary for governor,
beating out Carneta Atwater and Kevin McCants.
