Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, gang, it's me Michael.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
You can listen to your morning show live. Make us
a part of your morning routine or your drive to
work companion on great stations like Talk Radio ninety eight
point three and fifteen ten WLAC in Nashville, Tupelos News
and Talk one on one point one and ten sixty WKMQ,
and how about Talk six fifty KSTE in Sacramento, California.
Love to have you listen live, but are grateful you're

(00:23):
here now for the podcast Enjoy.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
Well two three, starting your morning off right. A new
way of talk, a new way of understanding because we're
in this together.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Dell John.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
I am proud to stand here before you today, whether
you're a Democrat, a Republican, or an independent.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
If you love our.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Country as I do, if you cherish peace and freedom
as we do, I invite you to join me in
doing all that we can to save our country and
elect President Donald J. Trump and send him back to
the White House to do the tough work of saving
our country and serving the people. Thank you very much,

(01:14):
Thank you very much, mister President.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Talsey Gabbart makes it official.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
She like RFK Junior endorses Donald Trump for president, the
significance the Kennedy's camelot, saying, it's not them that is
betraying the Democrat Party. It is a Democrat Party that
is unrecognizable from his uncle Jack, his father Bobby, quite frankly,
his uncle Ted even And here's Telsey Gabbard, representative candidate

(01:42):
for president over two decades as a Democrat, casting her
support for Donald Trump. Oh and by the way, the
Supreme Court in Wisconsin has ruled that Stein will remain
on the ballot. That's all three bad news for Kamala Harris.
No sooner do I plan to have my DC my
daily conversation with David Sanati. He is the CEO of
the American Policy Roundtable, host of The Public Square and

(02:04):
eighteen fifty Main Street at eighteen fifty main Street dot com,
and a senior contributor of your morning show.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
No sooner are we going to talk about the impact
of RFK.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Now we have RFK plus Telsea Gabbard plus Trump plus
Vance versus Harris Walls to compare to the two seventy map.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Good morning, David, Good morning Michael.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Who would have thought if someone had said ten months ago.
These are the circumstances you'll be dealing with with Biden
disappearing from the race, magically appearing then is Kamala Harris
with Donald Trump surviving in assassination attempt and RFK and
Tlsea Gabbert endorsement Trump. That's why we talk about the

(02:46):
polls being absolutely meaningless because of all the things that
happen that you can't see coming.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Well, actually, I know I can go back and find
some eighteen fifty main streets where we talked about the
exit of o'biden coming the impact of nineteen sixty eight
rearing its ugly head in twenty twenty four. Unfortunately, that
did leave to an assassination exempt. What I didn't see
coming was Kamala Harris, because ten months ago the thought was, well,
there's anything worse than Kamala Harris than Joe Biden, was

(03:15):
Kamala Harris. It's got to be Gavin Newsome, or it's
got to be someone else. That much was a surprise.
As far as Telsea Gabbard, this is who I wanted
Donald Trump to pick for this very reason now, because
you got to unify your party and because you want
to transfer trump Ism after you're gone in four years.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I know that wasn't possible.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
But he's getting his cake and eating it too, because
now he's got RFK and Telsea Gabbard. I'd put him
both on a bus in the Swing States, and then
if I was Donald Trump, I'd go to Swing States
and extended Swing States with Jade Vance. Now you got
it all working for you, even on a short field.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Well, and yeah, the pretty amazing that the Washington Post
New York Times are suddenly talking about a short field
like it's a blessing. We should have had short campaigns like.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Europe all along. I think these people will.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Come up with any reason they possibly get to justify
the perversion. It's a democracy that they're in the middle of.
But you know, Mike, I'm talking about the map. I
think this is very significant. People have been asking, well,
what's the impact of the Kennedy switch? Now again, I
don't still don't think we have bulls that are going
to reflect the voting. I think we're still a couple

(04:27):
of weeks away before we can honestly say people have
embraced now making up their minds and they'll be starting
to vote within a couple of weeks. In Pennsylvania. But
if you take a look at the two seventy to
win map, and let's just presume that half of what
we were told about Kennedy was true, that he was
pulling in the five six seven percent numbers, particularly in
the swing states. And let's just presume again this is

(04:50):
all speculation, that only two percent of that the numbers
are actually closer to two percent that would actually get
up and follow him over to Trump. Okay, so we're
kind of cutting the odds very tight. You know, there's
only three states that matter at the stage in the game, Arizona, Nevada,
and Wisconsin. Arizona was won by Biden by ten thousand

(05:14):
votes in twenty twenty. That's a five thousand vote swing.
Nevada was won by thirty three thousand votes, that's a
sixteen thousand vote swing. Wisconsin was won by twenty votes
at the ten thousand voat swing, we're talking about thirty
two thousand, three hundred and sixty votes in three states
that put Donald Trump well over two hundred and seventy votes.

(05:37):
That's how tight this race is. You could send all
those people to three states and not let them leave
on the mission of getting thirty two thousand votes to
change from twenty twenty and Donald Trump has a very
a fair shot at this race. So everything has changed.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Well, that's why I keep bringing up the Supreme Court
in Wisconsin allowing Stein to remain on the ballot. That
is really bad news for Harris Walls as well as
now having Telsea Gabbard and OURFK junior endorsing Donald Trump
is really bad news.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
You know when we look at this map.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Obviously Wisconsin was a big difference between twenty sixteen and
twenty twenty.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Michigan the same.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Don't forget Donald Trump won Michigan in twenty sixteen, which
was shocking to all of us on that night. You
didn mention Michigan, whether or not it's still in play. Pennsylvania, Arizona, Nevada,
those are the big ones. What about the Georgia, Virginia's,
North Carolina's those that are just off the edge. I
thought it was interesting that Harris found herself in Georgia

(06:40):
on day one of the general short field, whereas Trump
was focused a on national security, the military, the Tulsa
Gabbard endorsement, the RFK endorsement, and in the swing states
in the Midwest.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
What do you read into.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
That, Well, you don't want to completely district guard Georgia.
But Georgia has really righted the ship. And as long
long as the Donald Trump stays in good graces with
Governor Ken I don't think george is going to be
a question at this stage in the game. When you
look at Virginia, that's a very large number to try
to turn. Donald Trump lost Virginia by a significant amount.

(07:17):
We're talking about a margin of four hundred and fifty
one thousand votes. That's two hundred and twenty five thousand
votes to change in that state.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
That's a big number.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
But here's the thing. If you run the map, Donald
Trump doesn't have to win Virginia, he doesn't have to
win Pennsylvania. He wins Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona, then he
wins he wins the election. It's down to three states.
It's down to thirty two thousand votes.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
And if you should take one of the other. Remember
in twenty sixteen, I looked at you early on and well,
first I called you around five o'clock in the afternoon. Remember,
I said, I just saw the exit polling. This is
going to be close. It looks good for Trump. Then
when the evening said I started, I said, well, we're
going to be waiting on Arizona and we're going to

(08:06):
be waiting on Nevada.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
And then that became moot.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Florida went to Trump, North Carolina went to Trump, Georgia
went to Trump, Pennsylvania went to Trump. Then we saw
Wisconsin and Michigan. It was over before we even got
to the West coast this time. Put a circle around
Pennsylvania that you just stressed is so important necessary for
Harris Wallas. They got to have it or there is
no path, not necessarily for Donald Trump, and we may
not know for days, something you've been explaining to our

(08:33):
audience for months now. Finally, I think it was the
Washington Post did a piece on this. We went from
election day voters to early voters, to mail in voters,
harvesting ballots and mail in voting in the COVID era,
but not everybody counts them the same, and not everybody
has the same deadlines. In the case of Pennsylvania, they're saying,

(08:55):
you may not want to expect a result for three
or four days. Can you imagine if it comes down
to Pennsylvania, were waiting for three or four days.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Well, that's very, very significant. The maps that we're running
right now show Donald Trump losing Pennsylvania, which actually may
be the best thing that can happen in this election,
because if he wins Wisconsin and he wins Nevada and Arizona,
he will have enough electoral votes that even presuming that

(09:24):
Biden wins Pennsylvania, it won't matter. So the election will
be over, and Pennsylvania's big plan, which is a strategy
to hold the whole nation hostage while they wait five, six,
seven days to count their ballots, will become meaningless.

Speaker 2 (09:39):
David Soon is the seat held the American Policy Round
Table as senior your morning show contributor. It's all about
that map, About that map, about that map and the
road to two seventy. I think Arizona, Nevada are pretty
comfortable paths to victory for Donald Trump. So let's focus
on Wisconsin. How do they close this gap? That's why

(09:59):
I did on this Supreme Court rule.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Line piece is very very big, Michael, You're exactly on it,
and I don't mean to be a contrary, but Nevada
is more of a challenge because of the unions in
Nevada and the strong surge toward union vote going toward
Biden right now because of the union votes through the
gambling industry in Nevada. That's a tricky one. They can't
overlook Nevada. But Wisconsin, they did the right thing by

(10:25):
picking the convention there, the Stein thing goes in the favor.
But you have got the strategy you send Palsey, Gabbert
and RFK, and I would suggest you. No one's going
to listen to me, so it doesn't matter. Trump doesn't
listen to anybody. But the reality is if they put
their team in those places, the numbers there, and I

(10:46):
hope that people around them see it, and I have
to believe that they do.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
All right, So Red wrote me, and it really pricked
up my imagination in this way. He said, you know,
it's always hindsight is twenty twenty to armschair quarterback this.
But had Donald Trump refused to debate Joe Biden in
June early, Joe Biden's probably still in the race. He
played right into their hands. All right, can't learn from that.

(11:14):
But what we can exeget from that is, well, the
right move in hindsight may have been not to debate Biden,
so he'd still be in the race. Now, the right
move is to debate Harris no matter what the rules are,
and watch Babylon fall. So all this rhetoric coming from
Donald Trump, He's got to follow through a debater no

(11:34):
matter what.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
That's a tough question.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
That's a very difficult question because having been through lots
and lots of candidate debates and debates in our lifetime,
I can tell you these things can be lost before
they're started. And Trump's very correct in that. Trust ABC
as far as you can fill the whole network. I
think that they're going to have to be very tough
in negotiations if they want to have a shot. If

(12:02):
Harris is able to bring in notes, she's able to
sit there with all of her notice at the desk,
she'll play prosecutor and she'll have things the way she
wants it. And there's no way in the world that
Donald Trump's going to get a fair shack on ABC
unless the rules guarantee it. So I think they've got
a tough scenario right there. I'm not sure that debating her,

(12:24):
I'm just not sure.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Michael.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
I don't know the answer to that one.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
I think you're leaning towards it might be wise.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Well, CNN played it straight, But I think in hindsight
we can look back and say that was all orchestrated.
First of all, why are we even having a presidential
debate before conventions? Secondly, they had them late, they did
all the rules. They wanted Joe Biden to fail, and
they walked right into it. But CNN played it very straight.

(12:50):
But you don't think ABC would.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
No, I don't trusted to see it at all in
this regard. It just there's just way too much animus,
way too much Trump patriot. The closer to the networkchard
to New York, the more the hatred is there. It's
and that's NBC, Comcast as well as ABC, Disney. So
that's a tough call, Michael. It really is a debate

(13:14):
loss in a moment, and an election turned in a moment.
This is high stakes.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Last two questions for David Zanati, what do you make
of Zuckerberg coming forward and admitting the Biden Harris Camp
presidency pressured him and his company to censor Americans.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
We know they did it. In twenty twenty one.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
They bragged about it and their Time magazine manifesto shadow
campaign now, even after they orchestrated the Biden victory, the
administration itself was continuing the process of controlling the narrative
through the media, silencing opposition like RFK and Americans. And
here's Zuckerberg coming forward. What do you make of Zuckerberg

(13:56):
doing it and what it reveals.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Well for people who pray for media leaders and tech
leaders in our country, and I think everyone should be
praying for those folks. This is a very interesting development
because according to the article, it appears that Mark Zuckerberg
has come to the realization that playing around with his
power in politics is dangerous. To quote Michael Jordan, Republicans

(14:21):
by shoes too, and Republicans and independents and conservatives do
or do not participate with Facebook and Meta. I think
that he's come to realize that this is damaging his integrity,
his corporation and everything about him. And so he's changing
his ways because he's been caught with his hand in
the cookie jar big time. So he's not going to
fund nonprofit voter registration or voter to fabulation efforts, which

(14:45):
was huge to the two and four hundred million dollars.
That takes a lot of walking around money off the street,
and that's a big deal. That's a big sign. So
that's the first thing about it that's very significant. So
I think it does make a change because anyone that
was counting on that kind of a last minute surge
to come in and flip Georgia or flip North Carolina,

(15:06):
it's not going to be there now. Source could right
to check anyways, but I'm not sure that they necessarily wild.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
All I said in twenty sixteen, the most significant thing
that happened was not Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton,
but the death of journalism out in plain sight, and
that it would not be a victory for the left
or the right, it would damage the republic. That was
minor league baseball compared to what we've seen this year.
A media cover up the cognitive impairment of and president,

(15:35):
then display it, then turn on them, then along with
democratic operatives, force him out, coronate Kamala, and orchestrate I
mean talk about death, resurrection, and then death again of journalism.
Something tells me that much about twenty sixteen plays out
in twenty twenty four, so perhaps maybe the.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Results end up the same.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
It's a very challenging map. It's a very different era.
One of the quick note, Michael, the same amounts from
Zuckerberg comes at the time of the Supreme Business ten.
Many people to come in and join themselves to as
regarding the government pressuring private individuals and censoring them as well.
So the censorship issue is now back on the table.

(16:21):
And now the Facebook is an acknowledgment that the government
put under pressure on them may actually have that case
as well. So all these things are coming back full circle.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
And we didn't have time to do it, but RFK
it was WRUL test standing in a challenge.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
This is Your Morning Show with Michael Deltona.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Streaming live on your iHeartRadio app or over AMFM signals
across America. President Biden calling the Russian attack on Ukraine's
power grid outrageous. A dangerous heat wave hits US all
in central and eastern US. This week, Telsey Gabbert joins
RFK Junior and Trump and JD Vance in their run

(17:04):
for President of the United States. Yesterday, we're talking to
Rory about our two astronauts trapped in space until February
of next year. Our attention turns to the Polaris Dawn
private space mission and it's scheduling, and then I broke
out into song, singing Bolare to Polaris. You didn't appreciate that,

(17:25):
but I appreciate the report on Polaris Dawn. What's this one?

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Right?

Speaker 1 (17:30):
So Polaris Dawn.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
Essentially it's a billionaire who's contracted a SpaceX rocket. So
this is still a SpaceX rocket, a SpaceX capsule.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Both of them have flown before.

Speaker 5 (17:39):
But what's different is that on this mission, he's going
to take the Dragon capsule up to an altitude we
haven't seen since Apollos seventeen, So it'll be the highest
flying spaceship with people on board in more than fifty years.
Add to that, they're going to conduct a spacewalk, the
first commercial spacewalk by the four people on this mission.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
It's the billionaire Jared.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
Iaman, along with a pilot and two SpaceX employees who
will be testing out these new SpaceX space suits EVA suits,
extra Vehicular Activity suits.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
That's a big part of this mission.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Okay, so height, I get spacewalk, but height Apollo seventeen.
Why did Apollo seven? I mean they all went to
the moon again?

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Right? Well, yeah, I don't understand the hype. Part This
one is not going to the moon.

Speaker 5 (18:29):
It's just the highest orbit since we've had a ship
coming in from the Moon.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Oh okay, I think so, all right. And then and then
that's a test because.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
We haven't well, there are communications issues that are going
to be testing a laser communications system from the capsule
to the Starlink satellites that are out there. That's a
part of it. And yeah, so it's a few different
engineering things as well.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
So when you look at all of this, the common
theme with all of these different programs is what private
public partnership pretty much.

Speaker 5 (19:01):
You know, remember when we had air travel in this country,
back in the days of Lindburg and those small little
planes and shortly after the Wright Brothers. One of the
big things that got aviation quite literally off the ground
was the US Mail Service, the idea of air mail.
So it was really government spending on these planes, contracting

(19:23):
with them that led to the development of the aviation industry.
They hope the same is happening in the space industry
that NASA investing in SpaceX, investing in Boeing, and investing
in Bigelow and Blue Origin will have that same kind
of impact that we saw with aviation one hundred years ago.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
And it used to be the opposite, right where it
was government funded and they were funding these companies through contracts.
So they've kind of reversed it for bang for the buck,
right if nothing else.

Speaker 5 (19:51):
Well, so for instance, for Starliner, it's a fixed cost
contract for that ship that's now stuck up there that
they're going to bring home empty. Yeah, so NASA's getting
smarter about some of its contracting. You know, a lot
of SpaceX's success is on the backs of NASA tax
dollars that were pumped into the company early on to

(20:12):
develop these reusable rockets that now he gets to give
US missions and supplies and people to the space station.
But Elon Musk also got the seed money that lets
him launch haha, his Starlink satellite service. So let me
I hope this is as interesting to the listeners as
it is to me. But in our final minute, I'm
really curious because you know, if you go back to

(20:32):
the origins in JFK. JFK of course came into office
thinking there was a missile gap and was surprised to
find out there was.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
In the US's favor. He saw space as just like land,
then sea, than air, and it's impact with war. And
he said, somebody's going to own space, and if we
allow enemies or those that are enemies of freedom to
own space, we're going to be in a tremendous disadvantage.
So if somebody's going to own it, let it be
those for good us. That was the ultimate mission, and

(21:00):
then the Moon was just to stretch us and give
us a goal. I guess what I'm curious to ask
you is, all right, I get that we got the
private and the NASA partnerships going, but what is the
said goal?

Speaker 1 (21:12):
What is next? Living in space? And where or Mars
is next?

Speaker 5 (21:18):
And you know, don't forget We've also got the Artemis
mission that NASA is still working on and it's Artemis
two flight is probably happening in eighteen months or so.
So yeah, and that's Elon Musk's goal is to get
to have humanity become a multiplanetary species.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
You know, that's his ultimate goal.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
So you know, these are building blocks and it's step
by step and we get to scrutinize every little step
along the way.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
I'm just trying to figure out nobody, really, like John F.
Kennedy was a great spokesperson for the Vision. We really
don't have great spokespeople for the Vision anymore. That's hey,
you gotta love this.

Speaker 5 (21:51):
You know who's the head of the Space Advocacy program.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Oh gosho kamala. Oh you're kidding. Well, then there'll never
be a new conference, all right.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Rory's going to be back in our third hour to
talk about students returning to campus as more Israeli Hamas
protests are planned.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
That old chestnut. When Rory returns next hour. Great reporting, Rory.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
If you're just waking up, these are your top five
stories of the day. Well, I think you get a
sense of what Numero uno is. Somebody q Martha and
the Van Dellas. We got ourselves a heat wave in
central and eastern US. Lisa Taylor has more.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
Forecasters say there will be unseasonably hot temperatures in the
upper Midwest and mid Atlantic, where it could feel like
one hundred five to one hundred and fifteen degrees due
to humidity. Dana Griffin with some important tips.

Speaker 7 (22:40):
Wellfre'sial for warning people to stay hydrated, stay indoors, if
you can check on the elderly keeper pets indoors, and
this is going to last not only today but tomorrow.
But the good news is it's supposed to cool down
a little bit.

Speaker 6 (22:52):
Be heat is projected to rise in the Midwest through
Tuesday and will eventually shift to the mid Atlantic in
southeast by the middle of this week. As of Monday morning,
thirteen million people were under an excessive heat warning. I'm
missa Taylor.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Let's see, they tried impeachment twice, law fairer in New York, Georgia, Florida,
assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. I guess let's go back to Florida.
Special counsel Jack Smith trying to revive Donald Trump's classified
document case.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Brian Shook reports.

Speaker 8 (23:20):
Last month, District Judge Aileen Cannon said Smith's appointment of
special counsel by the Department of Justice was unconstitutional and
dismissed the case. On Monday, Smith appealed to the eleventh
US Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing that Cannon's decision lacked merit.
Trump was accused by the FEDS of taking classified documents
from the White House after he left office and illegally

(23:43):
storing them at his Mara a Lago estate in Florida.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
I'm Brian Schuk.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Speaking of assassination members of the House Task Force took
a tour of the site of the assassination attempt on
former President Donald Trump, and Pennsylvania Republican Mike Kelly said,
both sides of the Isle are working together on this.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
There's not one person on this conference that's identifying just
as a Republican or a Democrat.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Where identify as members of Congress on.

Speaker 6 (24:07):
A task force with a task to restore the faith
and trust and confidence the American people have to have.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Florida Democrat Jared Moskowitz said being on the site has
actually raised even more questions. Being here and seeing the
proximity of the buildings, it reminds me, quite frankly, how
outrageous it was that the former director of Secret.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Service did not come here.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
We're going to talk more about this with White House
Correspondent John Decker in minutes. But former President Trump is
questioning why on earth he should bother to debate Kamala Harris.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
On ABC, Mitch McCann reports.

Speaker 9 (24:39):
Trump and Harris due to go hit to heat on
the tenth of September, and it's also being reported that
the Pea cannot agree on key rules. Kamala Harris's campaign
is in favor of microphones being live during the broadcast,
whereas Team Trump wants the muted while the other candidate
is speaking, as was a key rule in the first
debate between former President Trump and President Joe Biden. Donald

(25:02):
Trump's campaign also claims Kamala Harris's campaign asked for a
seated debate with notes and outening statements, which Team Harris
denies requeesting Mitch McCann, New York.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
I'm so woll we what so woly.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Thinking of Kim Jong and oh well, that was Kim
Jung ill singing that uh In Team America, Americans without
college degrees say they have few friends. In those with
college degrees, Oh, I can't wait to hear this. Michael
Cassner has more.

Speaker 10 (25:35):
I'm A new survey by the Survey Center on American
Life found that almost a quarter of adults without degrees
said they had no close friends. Only ten percent of
those with degrees said the same. Around thirty percent of
adults say they felt lonely in the past week, and

(25:55):
ten percent say they're lonely every day. I'm Michael Cassner,
and we've.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Allowed all these divisions to impact our family relationships, our friendships.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
The social dilemma and social media is what creates loneliness.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
I don't know that I would look for some small
percentage difference between those with a college degree and those without.
In baseball, everyone would have lost yesterday except the Mariners Seattle.
We are heard on ten ninety the Patriot in Seattle.
They played the Rays and were heard on Impact Radio

(26:30):
and Tampa one, five, nine, twelve fifty WHNZ. They played
each other, so somebody had to win, and in this
case the Maritors won five to one. Everyone else lost.
The Indians lost four to three to the Royals and
then nine to four to the Royals.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
They lost twice to the Royals. Yesterday.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Cardinals lost seven to four to the Padres. The Nationals
lost five to two to the Yankees. The Rangers and
Dbacks were off birthdays today. Actress Tuesday Wells, as my
friend Joe Vig used to say, imagine, had actress Tuesday
Wells married Frederick March third, she would have been Tuesday
March third. Incredible. Somebody should have introduced them. Tuesday Well's

(27:07):
eighty one years old.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
Golfer. I went a long way for that.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
One golfer Bernhard Longer sixty seven. Oh, he's ageless. And
if you watch the show suits Patrick J. Adams forty
three years old today, if it's your birthday, Happy birthday.
We're so glad you were born. And thanks for waking
up with your morning show.

Speaker 4 (27:27):
Hey, I'm on the gold medalist Scott Hamilton and my
morning show is your morning show with Michael Dell Journal.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
This is your morning show. Jeffrey Lyons has the phones
and the board.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
I am your humble host to Michael del Jorna. If
you're just waking up a dangerous heat wave returning for
central and Eastern USA. I think Kier in Nashville. We're
gonna be over one hundred for a couple of days. Yeah,
then good, well a couple of days hopefully. Can you
imagine Friday night football in one hundred degrees?

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Yeah? But glad my kid has graduated.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
It seems like it's always hot around my birthday August thirtieth,
if you're thinking about getting me a present, and then
always for our fantasy football draft, which one in particular
is usually in someone's garage with fans. I don't know
if they're trying to make us so miserable that we'll
pick the wrong person. But the heat wave continues for

(28:22):
central and eastern US. The Hawaiian Representative and former presidential
candidate Tlsea Gabbert joins RFK Junior in endorsing Donald Trump.
Oh and the Wisconsin Supreme Court is going has ruled
to keep Steyn on the ballot. Could be trouble for
Harris Wallas and Grammy Award winning singer Mariah Carey mourning
the loss of two family members last week. Her mother,

(28:44):
Patricia and her sister Allison both passed away on the
same day. How awful our thoughts and prayers, of course,
are with Mariah Carey. All right, say hello to our
White House correspondent. He is also a Supreme Court bar attorney,
and he's one of my favorite Mortal Show contributors, John Decker, Well, John,
the question is to debate or not to debate? And

(29:05):
you know what, I think My mind is changing on
this the more I think about it. I wonder where
Donald Trump stands well.

Speaker 11 (29:12):
Donald Trump was asked about this yesterday, Michael. He was
asked about whether or not the mic should be muted
when one candidate is speaking on that debate stage and
he said in answer to that question, he didn't care,
which undercuts what his campaign wants, which is a return
to the rules that we saw that were in place
for that first debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden

(29:33):
back on June the twenty seventh. That is the big
hold up, the big hang up as it relates to
this scheduled debate, which is scheduled for Tuesday, September the
tenth in Philadelphia at the Constitution Center, hosted or moderated
by ABC News. But still some questions about whether or
not this debate will actually go off as plan.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
You know, I look back and I kept saying that
Joe Biden would exit. Everybody told me I was crazy.
I actually thought it would be somebody like Gavin Newsom.
My thought was Kamala Harris is the only thing that's
testing worse than Joe Biden. So I'll admit I had
it half right and then was shocked. Uh, we should
have all but yeah, but we should have been shocked

(30:16):
a debate in June before either convention and then remember
how shocked you were at the rules, or you go
back to a Kennedy Nixon style debate.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
This is all to favorite Kamala or to can favor
Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Let's put him in a television studio with no audience
and muted minds.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah. Yet, and then we all loved it, didn't we.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
I mean, I guess the point I want to make is,
never mind where Donald Trump stands on this, the American
people should want multiple debates.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
And I got to be honest with you. I like
the style they did.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
It focuses forces them to focus on us and the issue,
and we can see them answer these questions without theater,
or without moderators, or without people in the audience distracting it.
That's the shame of this. It's what's good. It's what's
best for us. It should be the discussion, not necessarily
what's best for Kamala or Trump.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Do you think she's trying to.

Speaker 11 (31:05):
Tell you something, Michael, I think you're going to get
what you want. I do believe there's going to be
a return to the same rules that were in place
for that first debate. That's what the campaigns agreed to.
And here we see the Harris campaign trying to change
the rules for the second debate because they believe that
it would be beneficial to the candidate that is now
the standard bearer for the Democratic Party, that's Kamala Harris.

(31:27):
But look, you know that's what was originally agreed to.
If the debate's going to happen, and I believe it will,
and I believe it's beneficial to both Donald Trump and
to Kamala Harris to have this debate, then you need
to return to those rules that were in place for
the Biden Trump debate that existed back in late June.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
John Decker's White House correspondent and attorney joining us. I
had one of my listeners read right me and of
course Hindsight's twenty twenty, and he acknowledged that. But looking back,
Donald Trump probably should have set out that debate. If
he hadn't done the debate in June, Joe Biden's likely
still the candidate and the win is a lot easier.
This time, the question becomes is it smart for Donald

(32:05):
Trump to trust ABC or the changing rules and do this.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Debate, let alone three debates.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Or what I was saying before, which is this is
the only significant thing I can see between now. I
mean Telsea Gabbert's a play. RFK is a play, but
I mean this debate could decide the election. Depending on
where the numbers are come September and what the rules are,
it may.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Be wise not to do it.

Speaker 10 (32:32):
Oh.

Speaker 11 (32:32):
I think it's wise for both Donald Trump and for
Kamala Harris to do it, but for different reasons. For
the former president, he needs to change the momentum in
this race, and we saw he got that momentum in
a very big way from that first debate. No one
could have foreseen what was going to happen. Maybe some thought,

(32:52):
you know, Joe Biden can't string two sentences together. Well,
those people actually had it right, but no one believe
when they said that that that would actually occur. For
Kamala Harris, she needs to do it to show to
those undecided voters she can go toe to toe with
Donald Trump. And I think that's what those undecided voters,
that's one of the tests that they want to see

(33:13):
her pass. And if there's no debate, she doesn't get
that opportunity. And maybe those undecided voters say, you know what,
she didn't go toe to toe with Donald Trump, I'm
going to vote for Trump.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
You think the debate will happen, and it will happen
based on the original rules. I think we'll get a second,
because there's rumors there might do a second as well.

Speaker 11 (33:31):
I don't think no. I think this is going to
be the one and only debate, the one in Philadelphia.
I doubt very much they'll be a second. As you know,
there already is also a scheduled vice presidential debate that
will also take place jade Van's Tim Walls. That is
October the first, and that's hosted by TBS News.
