stations like News Talk five point fifty k FYI and
Phoenix News Radio eleven ninety k EX in Portland and
ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part
of your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live.
But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Well two three starting your morning off right, A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this code.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
This is your morning show with Michael O'darl Trump.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Thank you, Michae McCann six minutes after the hour, and
welcome to Thursday, the eighth of August twenty twenty four.
Well the Harris Walls ticket held their largest rally to
date in Swing States yesterday. Joe Biden says he's not
confident at all a peaceful transfer of power will take
place if Donald Trump wins the election. Somebody get this
(00:56):
guy the new script and the new talking points. That's
that's six months ago.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Wards.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Tropical Storm Debbi has made his second landfall, this time
in South Carolina, and Taylor Swift is canceling her concerts
in Austria this weekend because of alleged terror plots. These
are my but I think are my top three stories
the day. They don't necessarily follow the news cycle, but
they are important nonetheless. One the terror plot, what has
(01:23):
a lot of people concerned? Should have a lot of
people concerned? Is it fits a trend that isis has
been using targeting teens online.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Remember your enemy is always going.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
To attack you where you're the most vulnerable.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Even though we move our attention span onto.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Politics and election cycles or storms or finances, the biggest
vulnerability is a social dilemma. These phones that are more
than phones, have changed everyone's life, and they've changed how
children develop, and they changed the vulnerability of children. They're
(02:07):
not safe in your house anymore, even when they're in
your house. Austrian police said Wednesday that a nineteen year
old man was arrested about an hour's drive from where
Swift was scheduled to perform tonight, Friday and Saturday for
(02:29):
an expected sixty five thousand fans each night. Chemical substances
possibly linked to bomb making were discovered in a search
of the Australian Austrian Citizens' home. The search of the
area around the home led to sixty households being evacuated,
(02:49):
according to local media. A second suspect was arrested in
Vienna that afternoon. Police did not give their age or gender,
setting an ongoing investigation that appeared to be widening in scope.
Both suspects had been radicalized online. Now we're seeing a
(03:13):
radicalization of an entire party in this election cycle, but
can isis radicalized teens online under their parents' roof and
use them as operatives as a far more frightening picture
than the canceling of three concerts. And this continues in
(03:35):
that trend. Another huge story we talked about from the
very beginning, and I think a lot of this applies
to Kamala Harris as well. After all, it was a
Biden and Harris administration. And then I think, what many
of you suspect, probably rightfully to puppets, it's really a
Podesta fifth term. They're playing the A A for autonomy,
(04:04):
but to be specific abortion. Now it's kind of like
when they played the global warming card, which I thought
was fascinating. You know, they they were trying to fear
you into control with global warming for how long and
couldn't And no matter how much everybody would talk about
it when push kame bishoved Poul after Paul, if you
(04:25):
ask them well, are you willing to get off your
gas card?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Are you willing to pay more for grocia?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And it would always be in last there's no political
strategists and think they can win the Oval office on
global warming though it's one of the three legs of
their stool. The one that they think they can win
it on is fear. We will create energy among female
voters over the fear of taking away abortion rights. And
(04:58):
they don't even have one hundred percent abortion support among women. Well,
you got to create that boogeyman. And that boogeyman is
Donald Trump. Put radicals on the Supreme Court that either
need to be turned limited or stacked or their power
diminished because they're out of control with MAGA laws against women.
(05:22):
They're going to make it so you can't get an abortion. Now,
this was all very laughable for those of us who
really cared about abortion. We actually really believe life begins
at conception. Mine is informed biblically as well as personally,
and I don't even remember which biblically. I noticed that
(05:43):
the Angels went to marry and Joseph at conception, not birth.
Scripture says you were fearfully and wonderfully made and knit
together even while you were in your mother's womb. Your
heavenly father knew you you and purposed you. Those things
shape my worldview. So nobody knows one person who begins.
(06:08):
After all, we were all at one point a fertilized egg, conceived,
and then a fetus an offspring in our mother's womb.
Then I had twins that were feared to be monoamniotic,
which is very dangerous. They shared a placenta, but they
(06:28):
did have two separate sacks in the end. But it
allowed us to see our daughters every week in living
color for over half the pregnancy, and was wonderful. Was
like visitation. I saw him sleep, cuddle, I saw him fight,
I saw him play. They pretty much acted like they
(06:49):
do today at twenty in the womb. Well that's changed
shaw I view the unborn. There are legal inconsistencies. Why
is it the mother kills the baby it's her body
when it's separate DNA. Why is it when a mother
kills the body a baby it's supposed to be safe.
How's that save legal and unrestricted, but if you were
(07:17):
to kill her baby, you'd be libel. Brought up earlier
Scott Peterson, he got double murder charges for his wife
Lacy and unborn child Connor. In that case it had
a name. So for a lot of reasons, there's people
that are pro life, but all are guessing we don't
(07:38):
know when personhood begins. Another reasons for being pro abortion.
They may think is as logical as my reasons for
being pro life, but that's not an issue. What's that
issue is the scare tactic being used that what the
Supreme Court did. There's two ways to look at this
is going to prevent abortions and women right to an abortion,
(08:04):
or the flip side of the coin is for the
pro life people that this was somehow a big victory
when it was nothing. It was a writing of the court,
but not a writing of abortion. Axios is very proud
today with its headline abortions exceed pre row numbers. It's
(08:28):
a very informative article that I encourage everyone to read.
What you find is during Roe v. Wade, you went
to an abortion clinic, a brick and mortar facility, and
had a procedure done to have the baby removed. That's
kind of obsolete in and of itself because we've turned
to prescription drugs to do it. And then you add
(08:52):
telehealth and virtual By the time you add up at
everything in person, virtual only, brick and mortar, telehealth, telehealth restrictions,
total bands, and six week bands. When you add it
all up, there's increases in everyone. There are more abortions
(09:14):
in the first three months of this year than before
Roe was overturned. So two ways to digest this story.
For the Democrats who are trying to scare women to
get them to vote, women are having more abortions than ever.
And all the court did was send it back to
(09:35):
the states where it belongs and the will of the people.
And if your state has some restrictions, you always go
to another state that doesn't. But nobody's really going to
any states because they're doing virtual and prescription abortions. It's
nothing more than a political weapon. It's nowhere near a solution.
We haven't gotten around it. Just as we've never asked
(09:57):
or answered the question what is the proper size and government,
we have not asked her answer the question when does
life begin? And in fact, there are more abortions being done,
not less, what an inconvenient truth that is for today.
(10:18):
Then there's this what we talked about yesterday, race to
define or this bad habit we have of dehumanizing candidates. Now,
when you control the narrative, you can control how it works.
They do it with tolerance right in the name of tolerance.
(10:39):
They are in fact intolerant. And who decides when tolerance
is a weapon or a defense they do. That's the
new game we're playing. So I found it very interesting
yesterday out of everything, and JD. Vance had a very
good day. Two brilliant things, and this is the first one.
(11:02):
I want to point out all the media's attacking Vance
for attacking Tim Walls, although it was Tim Walls who
called Donald Trump a criminal in his first speech and
has been attacking JD.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Vance.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
In fact, today all the headlines are Vance tries to
bully Tim Walls, even though Vance is actually responding to
Tim Walls bullying him. In fact, the proof is listen
to the audio and the sound of the day. It
begins with the question, then he gives the answer.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Listen, sir.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Here the tbs' short last night, juven A Wall suggested
that because of your Ivy League education and your silicon packing,
your political career, and you yourself are part of the eleague.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
What are your first impressions of them trying to pray
you this way to the American talk.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Right, So that's a Detroit newspaper reporter asking him last night.
Vice presidential candidate Tim Walls accused you of being an
Ivy League elite because they're in the rest bell. You're
not a hard work and meat potatoes average guy. You're
an elitist. You're a part of the problem. Then he responds, listen, well.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Look, I came from a family where nobody in my
family had ever gone to law school.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
I was. I grew up in a poor family.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
The fact that Tim Waltz wants to turn it into
a bad thing that I actually worked myself through college,
through law school and made something myself. To me, that's
the American dream. And if Tim Waltz wants to insult it,
I think that's frankly pretty bizarre. Now, look what really
bothers me about Tim Waltz. It's not even the positions
that he's taken, though certainly he has been a far
(12:38):
left radical.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
You know what really bothers me about.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Tim Waltz as a Marine who served his country in
uniform when the United States Marine Corps, when the United
States of America asked me to go to Iraq to
serve my country, I did it. I did what they
asked me to do it, and I did it honorably.
And I'm very proud of that service. When Tim Waltz
was asked by his country to go to Iraq, you
know what he did. He dropped out of the army
and allowed his unit to go without him. That he's
(13:00):
been criticized for aggressively by a lot of the people
that he served with.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
And when you control the narrative, you make the headline. Today,
he's attacking Walls valor. By the way, the most encouraging
part of that audio is nice to know that a
Yale law graduate JD. Van says slips and says Waltz
a lot too instead of Wals. We're all pronouncing his day.
(13:25):
By the way, there is this reality. The Minnesota National
Guard confirmed that Tim Walls did not retire as a
command sergeant major, so his bio is wrong. As for
the story of abandoning his unit, that was also made
clear with an interview with Tom Barns, one of his
(13:47):
fellow soldiers. So this one won't be settled with fact checking,
all right. So that's JD. Vance on the defensive and
very well done, very well all handled. The most brilliant
was JD. Vance on the offensive on a tarmac where
(14:09):
he happened to land at very shortly after Kamala Harris
land in the same swing state. And where does he do.
He walks over to all the reporters that Kamala ignored
and said, this.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
My president there.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
I figured I'd covive and more than could give up
the plane what would have sent me.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
My plane in a few months, but also couch that.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Might get badly because the vice president doesn't answer questions
the reporters.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
And as the.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
Seventeen days, I think, give you guys an explanation for why.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
She worked a questions for reporters.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
So he basically greets them and acknowledges the elephant in
the room. Look, this is what they did. We said
this was coming. This is the problem they're going to have.
Twenty twenty had worked because we were in COVID and
they were able to change election laws. Go to mail
in voting, hide Joe in a basement and pull it
off on the ground. The problem is there is no COVID,
(15:09):
and now you're trying to hide Kamala Harris in plain sight,
as you just failed for eight months to hide Joe
Biden in plain sight. Seventeen days and she's yet to
have a news conference. She'll record commercials with scripts, she'll
read a teleprompter pre written, but they're trying to hide
(15:31):
her in plain sight. Jd Vance and the Tarmac exposes that.
Now those who control the media, shouldn't that be a
driving story like it was a driving story? Joe c
Allen must go. Jd Vance. A plus on the defensive,
A plus on the offensive. Your Morning Show, A plus
(15:54):
for predicting.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael del Trona.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
America is about to go for the century mark ninety

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Katie Moon captured silver in the women's pole vault final.
Speaker 1 (16:25):

pursuit cycling final. US women and men continue to rule
on the hardwood in basketball heading to championships, and I've

always grateful you're here now enjoyed the podcast. Good Morning,
(17:15):
I'm Michael del Jornam Jeffrey Lyon controlling the board. We
got Rory with the story. Joining us are your morning
show national correspondent. Guys, I would like to do a
little birthday trivia with both of you. Okay, I'm going
to do a line, and you tell me whose birthday
it is. I'm talking to the two pilots in the
bomber plane. Can you hear me in the bomber plane.
(17:35):
I'm talking to the pilots in the bomber trade Nothing yet, yep,
I got none?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
How about this one? Are you trying to seduce me?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Missus? Robinson on a sir.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yes, Rory gets the win for being rude and not
raising his hand. We also have everybody knows that al
Michaels had the famous call for the nineteen eighty Olympic
go What wasn't the gold?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yeah, it was the defeat of the Soviet Union. Who
was his commentator?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I don't know either.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Ken Dryden, the great Canadian goalie, seventy seven years old today.
Dustin Hoffan is eighty seven. By the way, tennis great
Roger Federer is forty three. And then here's your last birthday.
And when you call me sing YORDI a so glad
to meet Sean Mendes, you guys end up tied. Shawn
(18:30):
Mendes is twenty six years old today. And if you
were born today. Happy birthday. So glad you bared with
my singing, and thanks for waking up with your morning show.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
All right, Roy's here with a good nights. I think
we both lost, but that's thank you, Roy. What was
the movie with the bomber? What was the movie with
the bomber?
Speaker 7 (18:46):
Reference?
Speaker 1 (18:47):
That was from I'm Blank, the Virus from the Monkey,
the moh okay, I'll break, I'll break with Renee Russo,
Dustin Hoffman, Kuba Gooding, You're all star cast, Donald Sutherlands.
All right, you got the obvious news. We're all broke,
and I can see we're starting to do something about it.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Well, it's interesting to see wallet hub is poking around
to look at the numbers and found that we're also
adding debt at at much faster rates in places like Boston,
North Las Vegas, Madison, Wisconsin, Lubbock, Texas, Gilbert, Arizona. That's
where they measured an increase in debt from credit cards
to auto loans to personal loans. That's where we saw
(19:30):
the biggest spike last week.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
All right, So, Orriy, we've been kind of tracking this.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
We've been a paying for inflation obviously with credit debt
I love the way you coined the phrase. We're all
asset rich, house rich, but we're cash four. So we've
kind of been leveraging that. And it sounds like all
the leveraging's adding up now because Aaron's gonna have the
story later on that the mortgage refinance demand has sorted
sixteen percent, so we're starting to see people run out
(19:56):
of time. It is interesting, is all this is played out.
We're struggling with debt, but we're not stopping spending. Does
anybody have an explanation?
Speaker 7 (20:07):
No? And that's what we're trying to figure out, and
that's what the FED has been struggling with because it's
the fact that we keep on.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Spending, is why is part of why.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
Inflation has continued, because you know, companies don't have to
cut their prices or do what they can to maintain
prices because if they raise it a buck, we spend
the extra buck. And that's what we've been seeing over
and over again, is that we keep on spending.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
And that's been the remarkable part.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
You know. A separate survey from bank rate found that
half of credit card holders are now carrying credit card
debt from month to month, usually about half pay it off.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
At the end of every month.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
Now more than half are carrying that debt month to month.
And actually sixty one million Americans have been in debt
for at least a year on their credit cards.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah, and we all know how that game is played.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
You start, you begin to think that you can pay
the minimum on all your maxed out charges. That ends
up eventually toppling you and eating you alive. You know,
it would be interesting to help us solve this mystery.
We know that Americans stop spending when they lose a job.
As long as they have a job. For some reason,
(21:14):
they think they're in the game and even though they're
taking on debt, they can survive it. So we would
circle unemployment, which is now we're starting to get more
and more unemployment numbers. And then the other is the
use of four oh one case, because I wonder how
many people are in debt, continuing to spend and they're
going into their four oh one case even if they
(21:36):
lose a job, or if they're just a battle debt
in order to buy time, knowing that down the road,
sooner or later, interest rates will come down and that's
what they'll take advantage of. The value of their home
to pay it all off. I think that's part of it.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Rory.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I think that that's my best guess at solving it.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Maybe if we could get those numbers.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Oh gosh, yes, No, I'm not promoting it by any stretch, right,
but I think that's what's happening, and that's why we
get this. Well, everybody's in debt after their eyeballs and
they're still spending. Well, there's the I think I just
decoded it well.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
And that's the remarkable part though, is that behavior has
not changed, right. You know, everyone is still living their
best lives on Instagram and going to Europe. I'd say
to see Taylor Swift except for this weekend. But you know,
so they're still paying for those experiences. It's plainly. You know,
we're finally starting to see airline demand fall off. We
hear from Disney yesterday that some of their theme park
(22:34):
expectations are starting to level off. So perhaps consumers are
starting to say, let's put the brake on some of these,
you know, unnecessary expenditures.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
You're more than just a news reporter, You're you're a thinker,
You're an observer. I have found it very interesting that
as a portion of America is always well, all of
America continues to ignore the debt of its nations. It's
breathtaking that you're focused on one agree, but not thirty
five trillion dollars of debt. And so for the longest time,
it was fascinating to watch the government out of control
(23:07):
with a spending problem and a debt problem. As it's
citizens at home have a spending and debt problem, and
now both are having a revenue problem to go along
with it. You'll wonder if they will ever fiduciarily anyway,
Wake up.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
You know, spending is fun. That's the problem. I guess
I never thought about it that simple.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, paying for it is it, But spending itself is
fun boring. Well, you know what, if you live near me,
we would go and get a nice stake today for
lunch and laugh at.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
That because I want to save the money, right, you do, no,
But I'm treating all right.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
We've been following tropical storm Debbie who did what she
did when she did what she did to Florida, and
now she's going to do it to South Carolina making
a second entrance into mainland.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Royal'll have that story one hour from now. Thanks for
joining us. Rory.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
All right, if you're just waking up, these are the
top five stories of the day.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Well numero uno.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Former President Trump says he plans to debate Kamala Harris
and the very near future when and on what network
more with Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
In an interview with Fox and Friends, the former president
suggested he and Harris could soon reach an agreement after
he backed out of a planned ABC News debate. Trump
said it will be announced fairly soon, adding he would
like Fox News to host the event. He indicated other
networks such as NBC and CDs have been lobbying to
host the debate by Mark Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
More Americans have gotten abortions during the first three months
of twenty twenty four than the same period in twenty
twenty three. Wait I thought that radical Supreme Court overturning
Roe v. Wade was going to keep women from being
able to have abortions.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Brian Shook sorts it all out.
Speaker 9 (24:53):
That's according to a new report from the Society of
Family Planning that continues the trend since the Supreme Court
overturned Roe v. Wade in the summer of twenty twenty two,
turning abortion rights back to the states. The increase appears
to be driven mostly by telehealth consultations, which account for
twenty percent of all abortions nationally. Six states have put
(25:14):
laws into action that offered legal protections to clinicians who
offered telehealth abortion care in states that have bans on abortions.
I'm Brian Shook.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Vice President Harris's campaign brought in over two hundred million
dollars when they made the swap from Biden to Harris.
What's been the financial impact of a Minnesota governor Tim
Walls about thirty six million?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Lisa Taylor has more.
Speaker 10 (25:37):
It comes after a massive fundraising month for the Harris campaign,
raising over two hundred million dollars in just the week
after President Biden announced he wouldn't seek reelection. Trump reportedly
pulled in one hundred and thirty seven million in July.
I'm Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
We love to fly in at Show's.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Delta's facing massive repercussions from a tech outage that affected
thousands of passengers last month.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Tammy Trehila Reports.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Filed this week against the airline, accused the company of
failing to provide passengers with vouchers for meals Hotels and Transportation.
Delta CEO says the CrowdStrike outage caused the airline to
lose half a billion dollars. A letter from Crowdstrikes legal
counsel to Delta rejected those claims and said it was
quote highly disappointed by Delta suggestion that CrowdStrike acted inappropriately.
(26:21):
The letter outed that CrowdStrike CEO offered personal online assistance
to Delta CEO, but didn't receive a response. I'm tammy
for heo.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Well.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Magician David Copperfield has managed to disappear, but the damage
he created has not. Neglect of his Manhattan penthouse, Kristen
Marx has more.
Speaker 11 (26:42):
The condo board for the gallery on East fifty seventh
Street claims that sixty seven year old's actions or lack
of have led to two point five million dollars worth
of damage, and that it's so bad that the building
structural integrity is a concern. The suit mentions illegal and
ineffective plumbing that caused Copperfield's pool to burst in twenty fifteen,
affecting condo's thirty floors below, and a valve that failed
(27:05):
last year, leading to the flooding of apartments, hallways, and
elevator shafts. The seven million dollar condo has been vacant
since Copperfield moved out in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Kristen Marks, NBC News Radio, New York. Well, Lah, that's

Jenny Burn my Morning Shows, your Morning Show with Michael
Bell Jorno.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Even though I'm battling a terrible cold. It's so different
four years ago. If you were to say, oh, it's
just a cold, you'd be like, it' not COVID. Right now,
I'm sitting here thinking why could I get COVID like
everybody else?
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Now I gotta get a bad head that. No, let's
not put on the COVID's nothing now with this head
cold awful.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
I got it back in October and it set me
down for four days.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Really, Oh this is I'm on day five of this
cold and it's it's struggling, but the Red Bull's helping
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
You're a champ, You're pushing through. We're proud of you. Well,
we don't have any other altar.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Fifty minutes after the hour for those of you on
the East Coast, ten minutes to be to work on time.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Thanks for taking us along for the drive to work.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
The Harris Walls team just held its largest rally, added
another thirty six million dollars to its conference. By the way,
just in the last two weeks alone, they got enough
money to help all these people they're promising to help
if they're elected. Joe Biden says he's not confident at
all that a peaceful transfer of power will take place
if the boogeyman Donald Trump is elected. He just became
(28:31):
mister irrelevant, didn't he, And now he's stuck on old
talking points. You know, we've moved on to Valor. You
got to catch up. Tropical Storm Debbie has made a
second landfall, this time South Carolina, and Taylor Swift is
canceling three of her concerts in Austria. Alleged terror plot
linked to isis involved there, and Americans have a massive
amount of household debt and continue to rack up even more.
(28:56):
We're buried in debt, trying to spend our way out
of it. We sound a lot like our government. You
know what we all need more than anything, a little
football to distract us. Thursday Night Football is the NFL
preseason kicks off. It's preseason for real, tonight with two games,
you got the Lions and the Giants, and the Panthers
and the Patriots. And in the Olympics we added more
(29:16):
gold yesterday. We're at ninety four total medals. We lead
the world in total medals and gold medals. A very
successful Olympic Games in Paris for the US. All Right,
Donald Trump, we just heard in a news story about
ten minutes ago telling Fox and Friends the debate he's
going to debate Kamala Harris and very soon. That suggests
(29:37):
it may be back on. Did we find a network
that will be a place these two.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Could agree upon?
Speaker 1 (29:43):
John Decker is our White House correspondent for your morning show,
joining us.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Is any of this real? Is the debate back on?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Well? I think so, I hope. So we know that
Donald Trump recognizes that the dynamics have changed over the
last few weeks. And whereas a few weeks ago, you know,
he was more than happy to debate Joe Biden. The
dynamics have changed, whereas you have Kamala Harris top of
the ticket for Democrats. And so we've also seen the
(30:13):
momentum switch in this race. As it stands today.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
It could be temporary.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
We don't know, but I think Donald Trump recognizes that
with that momentum that Kamala Harris appears to have, he
needs to stall it. He feels very confident Michael in
his debating skills. He has certainly the experience to back
that up. And I think that's the reason why he's
talking about that.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Today saw James Carvill.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
James Carvell ran the Clinton campaign and very successful and
went to my alma mater, LSU. But he was talking
about how the left media attacked axel Rod yesterday for
saying this could be a sugar high. You got to
keep her, and and what Carvell was saying was, yeah,
that's smart. You should be attacking him for saying that
(31:01):
this is politics, this race is even this whole notion.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
But you're right. Both are right.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
This is a lot more momentum than the gloom and
doom inevitability of losing with Biden. They got a little
push now they got to make it so. But here's
the problem moving forward. Right now, you've got Kamala Harris
reading scripts on teleprompters, or reading scripts for commercials where
she doesn't do well, as interviews where she doesn't do
well and got knocked out in twenty twenty was debates
(31:28):
and knocked out by Tulsea Gabbard really but and for
attacking Joe Biden. But so they might want to avoid this.
Jade Vance pressed out on the tarmac yesterday. This guy's
she's hi. I mean, Kamala Harris is hiding. She hasn't
done an interview in seventeen days. Do they really want
a debate? I mean, I agree with you. Trump does
and tomorrow and he should go anywhere, even if it's ABC.
(31:50):
But I wonder if they're anxious to have Kamala Harris debate.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
I think a debate is beneficial actually for both Kamala
Harris and for Donald Trump. And that's why. Maybe it's
the optimist in me, Michael, but I do believe we're
going to see a debate happen in September. I don't
know where it's going to be. That's important.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
We don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Who the debate moderators will be. We saw this last week,
you know, we saw two moderators from competing networks on
the same stage at the same time, questioning Donald Trump.
It was at the NABJ convention. It was a correspondent
from ABC. Another person from Fox News. It is possible
to get competing networks on the same stage questioning these
(32:32):
two leaving presidential candidates, the nominees for their party. So
maybe that could happen. Maybe that's the compromise that's reached.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
Well, we used to have a presidential debate Commission.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
We used to have moderators that were chosen, locations that
were chosen.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Have these kind of gone rogue?
Speaker 1 (32:48):
You and I talked about this that whole let's do
a Kennedy Nixon style with Biden in a television studio.
You know what was nice that you didn't have the
moderators making it at them or the network's making it
about them. And it really ended up being probably the
most revealing debate and the demise of Joe Biden. But
(33:08):
I don't know, everything's gone, so rogue, can we just
get back to moderators, maybe with or without crowds? Both
candidates asked the same questions, and let us decide that
maybe something like the first time refreshing can come out
of this.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
I don't know, maybe not being optimistic.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Yeah, we'll know soon, you know, and I think that
we'll know soon because you know, poll after poll has
shown Michael, you recognize this that the national polling now
appears marginally, marginally in favor of Kamala Harris, but also
the battleground state polling also shows a tightening of the race.
(33:46):
It's essentially a dead heat. And we have less than
ninety days to go until November the fifth, but fewer days, Michael,
until many voters in many states start voting with mail
in voting, with early balloting, and so so that's something
that both campaigns have to recognize. That's why that optimism
in me believe that there will be a debate sometime
(34:08):
in early September.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
And we all kind of you know, are keeping our
eye on the things that are outside of the control.
You know, we certainly had a lot of surprises already.
Is there an October surprise coming? Is there convention issues
that could happen? Can terrorism loom? It's ugly head, There's
so much to play out, and it's so early. But
first things first, Yes, you have two leading candidates now
(34:30):
and ticket set. The American people deserve to watch them
discuss the issues in debate. Let's hope we can get
that worked out. John Decker is always a pleasure. Thanks, Michael,
All right, John Decker, your White House correspondent for your
