Speaker 2 (00:22):
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 (00:34):
This is your Morning Show with Michael Bill jone for
those of you that are counting after thirty eight days, Finally,
Kamala Harris will sit down for an interview pre taped
on CNN with Tim Walls with her not quite not
quite her first alone and still not a news conference.
(00:56):
Heading into a thirty eight thirty ninth fortieth weekend, RFT
Junior's name will remain on the ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin,
and Labor Day weekend is going to be one of
the busiest for travel and over fifty million Americans or
under a heat advisory warning from Missouri from Missouri to
New York. That's just some of the top stories waking
up on this Thursday, August of twenty ninth, twenty twenty four,
(01:17):
on the air and streaming live on your iHeartRadio app.
This is your morning Show. I'm Michael del journal Jeffrey
Lyon at the controls. Probably the biggest story is they're
going to try to create this huge controversy and narrative
surrounding Donald Trump's visit Darlington Cemetery. How dare he use
the bodies of our brave men and women that he
has so degraded over the years, even though all those
(01:39):
stories have been debunked. How dare use it as a
photo op? He was invited by the family members of
those who died. Yeah, but there was some kind of
an altercation with somebody. Translation. Don't notice it's been thirty
eight days since Kamala Harris sat down and did an interview,
and she's finally doing it pre taped on CNN. YadA, YadA, YadA.
(02:03):
We've been asking you, what would you if you were
Dana Bash or if you're watching tonight, hope that she
would ask. We got a few talkbacks to give you
a general idea. We're going to keep track of them
and see how many of them get.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Asked tonight, coach, since you were in the classroom so much,
answer me this question twenty five times thirty nine plus
four divided by six times zero. I need to know
the answer now.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Good day.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
I'll get price of gasoline on your first day in office.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Sorry, sorry, that's okay. Yeah, all right, so target price
for gas. That's a good one. I was stuck on
the equation. I'm going to go with zero, right because
time zero Yeah, time zero would be zero, right. I
think it's a trick question. What did coach? The coach
(02:58):
didn't teach math, did he? I don't know. He comes
off as a teacher, though.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You know, I thought.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I don't know why. I thought he was like social
studies or something. I don't know what he was, as
I said earlier. And we'll keep track of these questions
because you know, like media bias, they can control the
questions that are asked, the questions that are not, the
questions that are directed towards Tim, or directed towards her,
or does Tim chime in an answer when she doesn't
know the answer. But as I said earlier, at some point,
(03:29):
is there anything that could possibly happen eight o'clock Central,
nine Eastern CNN during this interview that could make up
for the fact that we waited thirty eight days for it?
Isn't that the most revealing thing about the interview, even
before and after it happens, whether she performs well or gaffs,
(03:52):
whether we're saying, well, that's why they've been hiding her,
or we're saying, see, there was no reason to hide her. Well,
then why did we wait thirty days? And why pre taped?
And y CNN? And why Dana Bash? Why not a
news conference yet? Would love to get your emails? Gee,
(04:14):
where to begin? Rick says, why did you hide Biden's
cognitive disability from the public? I would absolutely think I
can't think of a more obvious question that someone would
have to ask her, as someone who over and over
(04:36):
again defended Joe Biden's cognitive ability that played a vocal
role in gaslighting the American people. Oh Joe's running laps
around interns Rick, I guess I'll say it this way.
(04:58):
I don't know anybody today that could ask a more
relevant question than yours, A more important question than yours,
a more revealing question than yours. This will not be topped,
although people should try. Why did you hide Biden's cognitive
disability from the public? He added a second one, will
you keep the Trump tax cuts or let the American
people pay higher taxes? And of course you know the
(05:20):
answer to that. In fact, she's not only going to
not keep the tax cuts, she's going to try to
propose these corporate tax hikes and these capital gains tax hikes,
which is going to destroy people's jobs four oh one
k's and cause businesses to leave. But great question. I
can't think of a more relevant question. If Dana back,
(05:40):
it would be dere election of duty. If she doesn't
bring that out, what was your role and why did
you do it? Because the guy's clearly cognitively impaired sounds
the day. These are all beautiful. I start with this
one because of the interview we just the conversation we
just had with Aaron Rayale, and of course the news
(06:04):
piece is I don't care if you're a Republican or Democrat.
I don't care if you're like Kamala or hater love
Donald or Hayden bottom line is, let's sit down and
objectively look at their economic plan, and the answer is
they both increase the debt. But surprisingly what happened to
the Republican party narrative the Republicans is twice as much. Well, no,
it isn't that I made this simple point because figuring
(06:33):
this dynamic pricing to determine what the debt would increase,
you're figuring in tax increases that are probably not going
to happen, which, by the way, wouldn't impact your thesis.
You could still say, whether it's Trump or Harris, the
(06:53):
debt's going to increase about four trillion. And there's your point.
How do we get to thirty nine trillion dollars in debt?
Both parties, because they both share fault and how we
got here. They both haven't stopped and answered the question
what is the proper size and role of the federal
government and what is the role and the responsibility of
(07:15):
the self governed? Keep those two separate, and just like
you'd find out at home or in business, you can't
spend your way out of a spending problem. You can't
debt your way out of a debt problem. And John F.
Kennedy told us in nineteen sixty two, resist the urge
to raise taxes to fund government at times like this. No,
(07:35):
it's a paradoxical truth. But it's just the opposite. Lower taxes. Why,
because it's their money. Morally, it's theirs. Secondly, trust them
and how they'll spend it. They will pay down their
debt and climb out of their hole. And then they
will spend their money. And as they spend it, business grows.
As a business grows, they hire, and as they hire
more taxpayers burdened less is the most effective and only
(07:58):
proper way to fund government. I don't think there's anybody
smart in the room than Jack Kennedy today. I told him, Jack,
you can settle down now. That statue talks to me
for crying out loud. Did you see his lips moving?
I see that every once in a while, and I
wonder if it's actually you just seeing something. Okay, so
thank you. I'm gonna take executive privilege here. So you know,
(08:19):
this whole news story narrative that according to the dynamic pricing,
Donald Trump will actually increase the debt two trillion more
than Kamala Harris is wrong because that offsets her spending
with revenue and revenue that's not going to happen. And
a great example of that is watch one of Kamala
(08:41):
Harris's robots on CNBC with their hosts trying to defend
these tax increases and what they would do. Listen, this is.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Beautiful unrealized games. Taxing unrealized games just doesn't seem fair
in any sense.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Of the word.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
In a very point, in the very best sense, if
you are taxing unrealized gains, all you're doing is pulling
forward the taxes that would be paid later when someone
actually sells the stock.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
I think that this reaction to unrealized gains is a
little funny, given that I bet that the majority of
people watching right now are already paying a tax on
unrealized gains.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
It's called a property tax when the value of your
does you hear the host moan that I so relate
to that, when people think they've got these gotchas that
they've heard online, or these lame old arguments that have
been disproved, that's apples to oranges. Watch the host in
the packern't going He's going to say property tax and
watch some bounds on them. This is the kind of
(09:39):
nonsensical minds that are behind Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
On unrealized gains. It's called a property tax when the
value of the value of you pay higher.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
If it doesn't, your value of your home never moves
the way the.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Stock moves the way something always go to answer.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
It's also property tax, is a use tax. You're paying
for school for the schools, you're paying for emergency services.
Those are things that make absolute.
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Sense and sure and all the all the revenue that
comes in from these unrealized gains taxes and the other
taxes and the tax in the Harris plan are going
to go to what creating what she calls more opportunity.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
It's to make sure that that's not in this country.
Actually the services.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Well, look, you're you're arguing that this is some sort
of foreign concept that's completely unknown.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
It's probably unconstitutional, it's probably and it was never in
anyone's intent.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
It's not an income tax, and.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It's never going to happen. Probably that's the most important
part of the clip. And it's never going to happen,
which is why when I was talking to her and
I was like, don't tell me the Kamala Harris is
only going to cost this two trillion more in debt
compared to Donald Trump's four because you're offsetting over two
trillion in revenue. That's never going to happen. And there
you're heard it in s c NBC Exchange. Now getting
(10:56):
to this whole big thing about Arlington. Don't notice Kamala
has been hiding plainsight, wouldn't do an interview for thirty
eight days. Now she's finally gonna do it, pre taped
with her VP by her side. Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense. Don't
notice any of that. Notice Donald Trump, who called our
military suckers, even though it's Ben de bonteen, never said
it went to Arlington for a photo op using the body. No,
(11:19):
he was invited by the parents of the fallen service
members from the Afghan withdrawal. That's why he was there
on the third anniversary. Yeah, but we're we're hearing Scott
a bit about some kind of an altercation. You mean
some cemetery employee that was politically notts and they had
an exchange. Think of all the questions we're hoping Dana
(11:42):
Bash asked tonight that we know won't be This is
the controversy that standing alone. He doesn't get to bring
his presidential ticket member with him. Jade Vance had to
answer and it didn't take him but forty two seconds.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
But to have those thirteen Americans lose their lives and
not fire a single person is disgraceful.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Kamala Harris is disgraceful.
Speaker 7 (12:06):
We're gonna talk about a story out of those thirteen brave,
innocent Americans who lost their lives. It's that Kamala Harris
is so asleep at the wheel that she won't even
do an investigation into what happened. And she wants to
yell at Donald Trump because he showed up.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
She can, she can go to hell. Well, they'll have
a field day with that. Vice president of candidate tells
presidential candidate to go to hell. Well, they tell him that,
not me. I'm just doing the story. Remember one of
the questions that we've already brainstormed that should be asked,
(12:42):
what was your role in the Afghan withdrawal planning? Just
like you've been in charge of the border. How many
have come across make mountains out of mole hills? Much? No,
But you use narratives to distract. I love this one.
We were talking earlier and joking about how doctor Phil's
(13:05):
doing the best political interviews right now. So now on
these people, and I mean just getting to the truth.
It's like we need doctor is doctor filled the solution
for the matrix to get us out of this far
left far right, the two she'll never meet or understand
each other, matrix. Now, I could pick a lot of
things about Kennedy, but I want to play this little clip.
(13:25):
This is Robert F. Kennedy Junior explaining why measuring everything
by carbon footprint is a huge mistake.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
It's so weird to me because the Democrats have become
subsumed in this carbon orthodox and you and I have
talked about this. What that's done is it's forced them
to do something that you should never do if you're
an environmentalist, which is to commoditize and quantify everything. So
everything is measured by its carbon footprint out eight tons
of carbon produces. And the reason that we protect the environment,
(13:56):
it is just the opposite of that. The reason that
we protect the environment is because there's spiritual connection, there's
a you know, there's a love that we have. It's
not about quantifying stuff. That's what the devil does. He
quantifies everything right, and that is you know what he
wants us doing.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Put a number on it, by the way, And that's
why you're get into the nonsense of every one of
us are exhaling. You make that to scoreboard and guess
what sure what needs to be eliminated. We could all
turn everything off, give them the keys to our gas cars.
(14:33):
Doesn't impact anything. A cow farts, Oh, and you can't
eat meat. And then when it's all said and done,
you're exhaling. And there's too many of you exhaling. See,
this is what I get so excited about the notion
of Tulsea Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Junior as only
(14:54):
they can because you know, I can talk to my people,
but I can't talk to their They can and expose
those lies. Now they're going to be vilified by Donald Trump.
Has been vilified and politically assassinated and character assassinated and
(15:14):
discredited because the narrative is the keys to the agenda,
and the agenda is the real enemy. But I will
grant you this, there's some exposure like we haven't had
in a long long time. Let's see, because you know
what reveals a lie? Truth do you know what exposes
(15:36):
darkness light It's starting to come from those exposing their
own party and its craziness and Republicans. You've got a
lot of work to do too. This is your Morning
Show with Michael del Chona. Roy O'Neil is joining us.
In Vidia, one of the hottest companies on Wall Street,
(15:57):
releases its earnings after the bell on Wednesday. How will
investors react? Well, Rory always has the story and video.
Let's start with who they are, because I'm not sure
if everybody's familiar with them.
Speaker 9 (16:08):
Yeah, they'd become an eight hundred pound gorilla on Wall
Street in the past couple of years. I mean, they
are really moving the needle here, and that's why everyone
was watching yesterday's announcement so closely. They're big into AI
and they make AI chips, and everyone is still investing
in artificial intelligence, even if we don't know what it
means yet or what it's actually going to do. But
(16:30):
in Video took in thirty billion dollars in revenue in
the last quarter. The company is now valued at three
trillion dollars with a T. This is a company that
saw its stop go up about seven hundred and fifty
percent in the past two years. It's up one hundred
and fifty percent just this year. So when they release
their earnings, which were good, probably very good.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Maybe he might it's good. It's what they're gonna be.
Let's dry.
Speaker 9 (16:56):
That's that's why the investors are out there driving the
stock up for what they think is, which is why
it's sort of flat this morning in pre trading as
and down.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
A little bit.
Speaker 9 (17:05):
But because it wasn't another blockbuster superstar number.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
It was just an excellent number. Yeah. The more I
look at the story, the more I wonder why Kamala
doesn't bring in video with her instead of Tim for
the interview tonight. All right, so talk about I don't
want to aggrevate you, but you mentioned how we don't
know what all Ai is going to do. It may
do me and you in the future for all we know.
It may be the morning hosts, it may be a
lot of things. It can When I think of parody
(17:31):
songs like we used to do, it can do them instantly.
So but what's really driving this? What are all the
potentials for this that make all other chips meaningless? I mean,
this is like going from VCR to CD right in
many ways. And look the other thing on Wall Street.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
No investor wants to miss a boat, right, So this
is this is you know, the regret you had when
you didn't buy Apple with its five dollars a share.
And everyone sees that this is what's happening or thinks
that's what's happening with Nvidia, you know, and what this
will be capable of doing again, it's a lot of
it's unknown. Yes, it could make funny fake pictures of things,
(18:12):
but and it can generate a lot of news copy,
by the way, with no help at all. And it
certainly sounds like it was written by a computer. But
that's going to get better as it matures. And that's
a real concern about exactly does this become a workplace companion.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Or your workplace replacement. And look for you know, auto
workers on.
Speaker 9 (18:33):
The assembly line had the same fear about robots doing
replacing their jobs. In some ways they have, but in
many ways they are also just sort of work alongside
the human beings there.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
So we have and I would say that, you know,
I am only turning sixty tomorrow. It's not like I'm
eighty row but you know, in a lifetime or maybe two.
We have experienced the industrial revolution. It changed to everything,
the assembly line, so on and so forth, the technological revolution,
and it was slow, believe it or not. TV was
(19:05):
before radio, even though radio made more sense. It was
radio TV. Then we went to gable, then we went
to the Internet. Then we went but this this is
along the lines of how everything has gone to a
computer than from a computer to our phone and in
our hand this is the next wave. And when you
look back, you go, how is it? Every time there
was some kind of a revolution, someone always rose to
(19:26):
the monopoly status, you know, mob bel or the major
networks Google and they still own it, Facebook and Meta
they still own a big portion of it. And here
comes Ai. There's got to be more than one company
doing this, and yet it's already beginning to take the
position and fold in to this one company. In Vidio,
(19:47):
I thought that was the fascinating part about all of this.
Speaker 9 (19:49):
Well, and then these companies like Google and Apple make
so much money that they buy up their competitors and
consume them, you know, And that's how the blob expands
ends even more exactly sort of that lack of competition.
It's a it's the old star trek.
Speaker 10 (20:04):
The borg, they assimilate, and then they move on the
one thing. I will say, you're right about this one thing. Well, no, no,
I'm on this topic. Always got to pick on me.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It's the older brother that's supposed to bully the younger.
All right, so no, But what I was gonna say was,
and I know you're desperately trying to make me lose.
My thought was that when we when we look at
these kind of things, we don't compare it to like Cassio.
Oh I should have invested in Cassio, you know. No, No, No,
this is Apple, this is this is like Google. This
is like the next big thing and maybe the last
(20:39):
finding thing. They just can't stress enough, and it's often
shrouded and we don't know what all it's going to do.
Because the potentials they can do everything right. And that's
the concern.
Speaker 9 (20:51):
And look, a lot of people are looking at the
business executives are saying, yes, second, fire all those expensive employees. Uh,
you know, And that's one of the since that there's
a lot of investment in trying to expand this technology
and its capabilities in Nvidia.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Maybe for a lot of people listening today, Rory the
first time they ever heard those words. I know it's
a blockbuster stock and all that, but then for a
lot of people never heard it by name. You will
know it like you know Apple and no Google. And
that's why it's a story today. Good wake and you'll
be back. Rory's gonna be back. He always gets the
final story. The US Surgeon General is being According to
(21:27):
the US Surgeon General, being a parent can be hazardous
to your health. Well, definitely your pocketbook. I don't know
about your help. It is one of the great joys
of my life. Well wait a minute, now that you
mention it, it has been hazardous to my health. I
can't wait to hear that story. Well, there's the reason
why we say the elephant in the room. There's a
(21:49):
big thing that everybody can see and nobody wants to acknowledge,
which is why you acknowledge it, because there's no moving
on until you do. And there's several ephants in the room. Tonight,
thirty eight days is an elephant in the room. CNN
is an elephant in the room. Dana Bosh is an
elephant in the room. The fact that it's pre taped
(22:10):
is an elephant in the room. Why Kamala has been
hiding and what she was hiding before that is an
elephant in the room, and it's kind of hard not
to notice Timmy's in the room. Here's Brian Shook with
our Road to the White House. Road to the White House,
twenty twenty four. Kamala Harris is under Republican scrutiny for
including her VP pick in her first interview. Arkansas Governor
(22:32):
Sarah Huckabee Sanders claims Democrats think Harris can't handle a
one on one interview.
Speaker 11 (22:38):
It's clear that her own team and her own party
thinks she needs a babysitter, and.
Speaker 12 (22:43):
That's why they're putting her vice presidential nominee on the
stage with her.
Speaker 13 (22:46):
Republicans also question why the interview needs to be pre taped.
Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walls are set to sit
with CNN in an interview to air at nine pm
Eastern tonight. The interview is expected to take place while
Harris and Walls are on a bus tour through Georgia.
In Washington, I'm Brian Schuk.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
My best friend growing up was Keith Collins, and we
used to go on vacations. In fact, we would go
to Disney World every summer together and stay in for wilderness.
And his dad had this one trick. If we ever
fell asleep during the drive, he'd wait for us, and
when we woke up, he'd pretend he was sleeping while
he was driving, and then we'd all laugh. Oh. I
(23:27):
have fond memories of him today. He was a great man.
But the analogy comes to mind because all the things
that we think are so scary about Donald Trump and
Kamala Harris. You know what's scary. We all know the
President of the United States is too cognitively impaired to
do the job, and he's still driving. In fact, he's
going to be making a very important call today with
(23:47):
the Chinese president. Mark Mayfield has more.
Speaker 14 (23:50):
The call will be part of efforts to smooth a
relationship between the two countries. The agreement comes from a
meeting held Wednesday in Beijing between National Security Advisor Jake
Sullivan in a top Cheneese official, Biden and she agreed
in November to have increased communications between the two sides.
I'm Mark Neeview.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Israel confirms that launched a large scale operation in the
occupied West Bank. Lisa Taylor has the details.
Speaker 12 (24:11):
Israeli military carried out airstrikes and raids early Wednesday. Danielle
Hamamjen reports from Jerusalem on what the Israeli military is
trying to accomplish.
Speaker 15 (24:19):
In the words of the Israeli Foreign Minister, he said
this today that Iran is working to set up a
terrorist front against Israel in the West Bank, following the
model of Gaza and Lebanon, also calling this a full
fledged war.
Speaker 12 (24:33):
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said ten people were killed
and nearly two dozen injured in the military operation. I'm
Lisa Taylor.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
We were just talking about dangerously large technology monopolies. So
is YELP filing an anti trust lawsuit against Google? Tammy
Trahuilo has more.
Speaker 11 (24:50):
Earlier this month, a federal judge ruled that Google violated
US anti trust laws and had monopolized the search market.
Now Yelp has filed a lawsuit in San Francisco. A
legend Google used that monopoly to dominate advertising markets and
manipulate search results. In an online statement, He'll call Google
the largest information gatekeeper in existence and said the company
(25:11):
keeps users within Google's owned ecosystem and prevents them from
going to rival sites.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I'm Tammy TRUHEO. Well, we all know what the two
big states that are going to decide this election might be, right, Well,
that makes this story interesting. Robert Kennedy's junior's name will
remain on the ballots in Michigan and Wisconsin. Isn't that convenient?
Election officials in those swing state site legal technicalities. The
ruling comes despite Kennedy ending his independent presidential campaign and
(25:40):
endorsing former President Donald Trump. Kennedy said he wanted to
remove his name from the ballots and key battleground states
to hopefully help Trump win. So is the legal technicality
an attempt to help Harris win? Finally, the expression is
the show must go on, and most of politics is
(26:04):
a show, so I guess it's only fitting that some
Broadway shows are plenty to go dark on election Day.
Sarah Lee Kessler reports.
Speaker 16 (26:12):
The Broadway community wants you to vote, so many of
the plays in musicals will be staged on Monday, November fourth,
their usual day office Monday, instead of Tuesday, November fifth,
election day. Broadway did the same thing during the twenty
sixteen presidential race. But in case you need distraction that
Tuesday night, you can catch Harry Potter and the Curse
(26:34):
Child and the yet to open Left on tenth and
The Outsiders. Sarah Lee Kensler, NBC News Radio, New York.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
In sports, it's never happened since the inception of your
morning show, which is coming up on one year old.
By the way, Yeah, where all of our teams in
cities where the show airs went on the same day.
And it couldn't happen yesterday because Tampa was playing Seattle. Okay,
but we did go six for seven. The Mariners won
(27:06):
six to two over the Rays, the Nats one five
to two over my Yankees. Cleveland won seven to five
over the Royals, Cardinals won four to three over the Padres,
d Backs won eight to five over the Mets, and
the Rangers won four to three over the White Sex.
It was almost a perfect same. I'm calling the Hall
of Fame right now. I believe, and I haven't checked
with Nosterre del Jarno yet, the Great Prophet. I believe
(27:27):
when it does happen, the final Pope will be named
and the world comes to an end. So don't necessarily
root for it. I'm a huge fan of Elliott Gould,
and that's strange. He is in the Lincoln Lawyer. Now
he was creating Ocean's eleven. An old seventies actor and
a lot of Love American styles. R Elliott Gould is
eighty six years old today. One direction is Liam Payne
is thirty one. Entourage and Spin City actress Carla Gujin
(27:52):
is probably in the Gujin and it is fifty three
years old today. If it's your birthday, Happy birthday. We
are so glad you were born and thanks for making
us a part of your big day. This is Shannon
Gregory and my morning show is Your Morning Show with
Michael de Jono. I am Michael del JORNA. What are
the odds on the day? I say, you know, we're
a lot like Century twenty one. We may be national,
(28:14):
but we're neighborly, right, And then I asked the your
Morning Show question of the day, using our iHeartRadio app
talk back button. What's the one question if you were
Dana Bash, you would ask Kamala Harris tonight. And we've
gotten some great ones. And then there's one I stopped
to highlight. I said, who was that? Where were they from? Right?
That was a great question? Turns out to be Vincent
(28:35):
Giordano I've known Vincent's I think since Vincent was five
or six. And that scared me because you said, was
that Vince? Because I was like, how does he know?
How do you know? His mother was like my second mother.
He has a brother, Chris, and a sister Vinin who
is like my real blood sister, close family growing up,
and he has grown up to be a remarkable man.
But what are the odds of that somebody family? It
(28:57):
actually chimes in well, that transitions into John Decker, who
always cheers me up, and he's here to talk about
the big interview tonight on CNM, and it begs the
question of a White House correspondent, if you were doing
this interview, what would your first question be.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
I know what my first question would be. Tell me
if there's any daylight at all between you and Joe
Biden on any issue foreign or domestic. To me, that
is the one question that we have not heard being
asked if Kamala Harris, and we haven't heard her answer
to that question. So that's my first question right out
(29:33):
of the box.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
And that's a great one. And by the way, we
had something similar to that. We've had other ones that
were really good that even I you know, what was
your role in hiding Joe Biden's and cognitive abilities? And
when did you know? Because you were defending him right
up until it was revealed. During the debate, others had
brought up the border or the flip flopping on fracking
and the walls, or taxing of tips. How are you
(29:54):
different from Joe Biden? Or what about free speech? Is
the one I was discussing. But you know what I'm
curious from your perspective is because the fact that we
had to wait thirty eight days, the fact that it's
still the first interview and we've yet to have a
news conference, the fact that it's pre taped, the fact
that it's CNN, and the fact that she's bringing Tim
with her. Is there anything that really can happen that
(30:17):
can overshadow that? I mean, that alone sours it before
it happens.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Almost Well, I'm not of the mindset or bothered or
troubled by the fact that the first interview is a
joint interview that's happened before. But if that's the only
type of interview that she gives, or if there isn't
a solo interview that she gives or a live interview
that she gives, then that is problematic, and so we'll
(30:43):
have to see what she does following this first interview
with CNN. Maybe there is a solo interview on sixty minutes,
you know, if they begin their new season. That would
make a lot of sense for the vice president. And
you know, also we want to see how she performs
on that debate stage on the tenth. That's another test
for the vice president as she pursues the White House.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
So CNN's big headline is Harris interview is the latest
in the high stakes moment in a wild race that
under it you have like seven stories on the Trump
visit to Arlington and an alleged confrontation that might have
taken place, you know, and it's just like narrative, narrative, narrative.
There's a lot online here, you know, I wonder and
(31:27):
we live in a matrix. So is there any way
Dana Bash can win in this situation? Is there any
way Kamala Harris can win in this situation? And if
either could, what might it look like?
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Well?
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Can she win?
Speaker 4 (31:40):
You mean, does she come out of this?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, we're gonna all wake up tomorrow and say, Dan
it was fair Dana did a great job.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
Well, you can't please everybody. You know that we're to
divide a country. There's going to be people that say
she was too easy on Vice President Harris. They were
softball questions. They're going to be people that will certainly
say that or no follow up. That is another thing
that we're likely to hear from some and maybe that
will be the case.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
I'd just like to let these things play themselves out.
I'm one of those people, Michael, that doesn't turn on
the channel that will air the super Bowl until maybe
a half hour before the super Bowl. All this pregame,
I don't pay any attention to it. I'm paying attention
to the game itself.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, and you know we should be gracious in preview
and then perhaps a little more stringent in review, which
will do tomorrow. Appreciatly. You have a great day. We'll
both be watching. I can't wait till we talk about it.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Well before, Michael, not with you tomorrow. I'm going to
take a long weekend. But happy birthday to you. Enjoy everything,
all the best of everything, health and happiness.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
You're one of the highlights of my fifty ninth year
and I look forward to you in the sixtieth. Thank you, John,
you have a great weekend. I'm gonna miss you tomorrow,
but I'll handle it without you just fine. I promise
we're all in this together. This is your morning show
with Michael hild Join up, Boy, did B
