Welcome to Friday, August the 7th year of Our Lord, 2026. On the air, streaming live on your iHeart radio app. This is your morning show. President Trump working to finalize a deal to completely open the Strait of Hormuz.

That's been going on for five months. What makes you think it's happening now? Marsha Blackburn limps over the finish line and squeaks out a Tennessee Republican primary victory for governor. She is poised now to become the first woman governor of the state of Tennessee. And the Senate committee has voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. And if you were expecting a boring, low scoring, Hall of Fame game in Canton, Ohio, you didn't get it. The Carolina Panthers defeated the Arizona Cardinals 33 to 30 in a last second walkoff touchdown run. A Senate committee that voted to hold the former White House health advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress, happened yesterday. We'll have the sounds of Rand Paul setting up that vote in our sounds of the day, but now you have the sounds of our national correspondent, Rory O'Neill, telling you the story. Where does it go from here, Rory? Hey there, Michael. Well, some questions about where it goes from here. The chairman of that committee, as you said, Senator Rand Paul wants to go directly from the committee right to the DOJ with a referral for a contempt investigation or prosecution of Dr. Anthony Fauci for refusing to answer questions. Some have said, wait a minute, you got to go through the full Senate first. And then that needs 60 votes to get the referral to the DOJ. So maybe he's cutting the line. And do we want that? Because, you know, it's one thing when your party's in charge. It's another when the other party takes over. Do you really want to set that precedent? So we'll see if the DOJ, how they want to move forward here. But clearly, a lot of frustration lingers after Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during his... I was going to say testimony, but lack of testimony last week. If you have ears to hear, if you have eyes to see. And this is just from the diary. We still have the phone now that apparently they have information from who knows where that saga leads us. The damage has been done for Anthony Fauci, unless you're just caught in a matrix and ignoring it. Ultimately, though, Rory, don't we feel like his greatest vulnerabilities or the greatest opportunities for justice lie at the state level or in civil court? Well, yeah, I'm not so sure about civil, but certainly in states where I think three attorneys general are currently launching investigations to see whether or not Dr. Anthony Fauci could be prosecuted under some state charge because, of course, that pardon that President Biden issued on his way out the door in January of 25 only covers federal charges, which is why this state avenue may be the best way or the most viable option for considering a criminal prosecution. If there's one out there. Yeah, there's a lot of evidence. I mean, people are always throwing around. I'm going to sue you. I'm going to sue you. You got to have damages. Right. You know, unless you can, but there are people if you, and there's a lot of evidence of what was known and not known about this vaccine and what was known and not known or misleading about the protocols or information given to leaders, whether it was at the federal level to president or state level governors. And people with.

literal damages from the vaccine. Some losing their life. Now, a lot of that was covered, and that's part of the scandal too. But there's, I think there's some civil vulnerability too. But I don't think there's anybody that really thinks that the cost. of this precedent when someone else is in power is worth what little slap there'd be from a contempt of Congress, right? Well, but I'd also like to see, yeah, I want to see more clarity on what it does mean for when you have these kinds of preemptive presidential pardons. What does it mean for that future testimony? It's still a little bit of gray law in there because you do want them, you want the information from that witness now that they've been pardoned. Well, that's what I'm saying. So there is some people out there probably yelling at their radio. Could this contempt of Congress lead to him being forced to come back and answer these questions? Right. And that's what we're hoping to find out. Does it yield some agreement where they say, okay, he will answer the questions as to what color his tie is and what color of the carpet is? Income needed to buy a typical home is 110,000. Average household income in America is 83,000. Think those numbers don't add up? That's because they don't. Rory will do the math for you when he comes back in the third hour. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my little friend. He's the CEO of the American Policy Roundtable. He is the host of the public square. And he is our senior contributor, David Sinati, who, by the way, never responded to my long text response yesterday. Very hurtful. Did you catch the joke? I was going into news conference voice. What text did you say? I played the worst golf of my life this week and you made a reference to it. And so then I launched into my, it's the kind of thing I only do for you. Oh, here is. It goes on. Would you want to read it out loud? You can. This is. Wow. I used to do that to my dad. I would leave messages that would be like five minutes long, and then at the end I'd go, and to prove that you listen to this entire message, the code word is, you know, whatever, pumpkin. And every time my dad would call. Hey, milk, pumpkin. And I thought only my dad would sit and listen to me going on and on five minutes of nonsense. But not you. You didn't even respond. I have every excuse a golfer can give in that one news conference. This is extraordinary. And this is, by the way, is the show coming to you. I've been listening. Yeah, I don't think those words should ever be uttered again. I guess it's it. That's it. We banned it. Well, I mean, it's Friday. I just don't know how many more of these Groundhog Day type stories I can do. I mean. Okay, now we're getting to it. Yeah. But let's do this. Look, I get, no, but I get the big picture of the game, and you and I encourage each other always in this. We are in the obedience business, not the results business. So, you know, we speak the truth, and what God does with that is his business, not mine. What we do every day.

in the exercise of understanding the hour in which we're living, what's happening and what's coming next is really about us going through it together. That's really what the beauty is. I mean, when I look back at my marriage, what makes it great? Well, ultimately, all the good, all the bad, all the expected, all the unexpected, and one giant, to pay tribute to Valerie, meatball. And why am I so close to my wife? Because we lived all of that together. Some things went our way, some things didn't, but all things made us closer. So that's kind of what your morning show is about. We don't always get our way. And something we talk about today does not happen tomorrow. And unlike when you're mowing the lawn and you get to see every row, I mean, that's why mowing a lawn and vacuum is just so pleasurable, right? It's just immediate response. But yeah, it does get frustrating. I mean, a headline like, President Trump is working to finalize a deal to completely reopen the strait of hormones. Seriously, what on earth could I possibly say about that? Even if you had a deal, it's nothing but a dude wipe, all right? And then, or how about this one? Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell has been discharged from rehab. He's now at home recovering from his fall in June. Who doesn't have an elderly parent that we've lived this process? This guy's an end of freaking life. He's not a senator. The heck's going on. And now I'm sitting here thinking of Bill Lee, somebody I helped get elected. I can't think of one thing this man did for eight years. And then before him, his predecessor, Haslam, eight years that he ever did. I guess in Haslam's case, we stumbled on, okay, well, he's the free community college, which I do think is a brilliant idea, by the way. But, you know, and then here comes Marsha Blackburn. It's 74 years old. Wouldn't talk to anybody. Wouldn't debate anybody. And she just coasts her way in at 43%. I'm just like, Come on, I'd rather talk about, you know, my Ford Thunderbird. I don't know, falling asleep at the wheel, which is a great metaphor for America. To fall asleep at the wheel stories, we're a little bit shaky. Well, can I just add one before you do part of the challenge? Remember part of the challenge. We were in Oklahoma on KFAQ, and we took listeners to the state legislature for a major issue. And we were driving on the interstate from Tulsa to Oklahoma City at 90 miles an hour. And Gwen Freeman, who was my co-host, launched into one of her stories that have way too many details and go nowhere. And Andy recalls it glazing over. I didn't glaze over. I glazed out. I fell asleep. I don't know how long. We tried to go backtrack and figure it out. We think I was asleep for over 80 seconds before they realized they were in a vehicle going 80 miles an hour and the driver was asleep. That's my favorite. For those that are wondering whether this program is safe for children, I have never seen you in that experience. This is something that is historic but not relevant to the hour. I've never seen you even close to falling asleep in your... Well, yeah, now I don't, I don't, you know, I have a CPAP machine. I was probably borderline narcoleptic with...

with sleep bat. Which for anyone that's listened to this show for more than one day would say never could possibly imagine that in a lifetime. And by the way, we're not talking about drugs and alcohol here. We're just talking about. I mean, you know, Glenn's stories, that would put any man to sleep. All right. But what do you make of all that? I mean, comment on what we were just talking about because I don't want anybody to get discouraged. One of the most challenging scriptures in all the Bible is do not grow weary in doing good. It's the greatest temptation in life. For in due time, you'll reap a harvest. Amen. Go ahead. Now, that's the end of that passage. Yeah, of course. But now there's the other side to that. And the reason that we're where we are today goes back to something else that's been a maximum in America for a long time. And that's what you teach in the classroom today. You'll find in your government tomorrow. Mm-hmm. Well, we've taught the world that humans are nothing more than accidents and that government is really nothing more than an expression of our color of our skin, our socioeconomics, or the way we practice sexuality. And that's what we've been teaching people for 50 years in school. And we should be surprised at what we see at the polls today. Now, that kind of sounds like a school martin coming down on people. No, it's just very simple. We honestly do reap what we sow. The good news is we can change. Yeah. But it does take time to turn the ship of state around. Another maxim, politics is downstream of culture. Well, that's another way of saying truth has consequences. And if you change your truth platform and you tell people that they're time plus chance plus matter and the stuff that the Supreme Court told us, the stuff we've taught kids in our classroom is the stuff that they've heard from pulpits or haven't heard from pulpits even worse is coming home to roost. All right. So we've got to deal with it. The wonderful thing about our culture is that we have systems set up that when we rediscover them, we can overcome. Now. The other thing that the news of this day proves is something that is often forgotten. So it sounds like news and that's at all politics is local. It is local. Right now, the whole Max Miller syndrome, the state rep or the congressman from Ohio, whether he's in, whether he's out, his divorce and not, not, actually I'm listening on CNN news commentator talking about a blue bunny stuff toy. And whether or not the congressman was gaming his family with the blue bunny stuff. This is a conversation between a member of Congress and his father-in-law, United States Senator, that's now on CNN in prime time. Okay, this is ridiculous. Yeah. Absolutely ridiculous. But when you look across, but it will be on every voter's mind in the district. Yeah.

But politics comes down to being local because our system was set up that ultimately, it's not national news. It's ultimately carried out in reality at the local level. So all these primaries, you go across, I listened to all the primaries for the last several weeks, they all prove it's local. It's a local situation. Well, our ultimate question for you today, and we'll get back to it right after the break, is, and we had Andy Ogles, an incumbent member of Congress defeated. Local. Yeah, local. And some of it is sure National will make the headline, a Trump endorsed candidate loses. Like, it's about that. No, they redrew the district lines. And he said some pretty outrageous things and embarrassing things. And so, you know, it's one thing when somebody, you know, is. on the other side being embarrassing, it's one thing. When they're embarrassing it on your side, you know, you want to end that. So there were a lot of factors there. Marsha kind of limps over the finish line. And at 43%, I mean, you can look at that and go, well, if Fritz wasn't in the race, I think Rose would have beat her. But here comes, and we've been living this for 16 years. So what the heck? What's another eight? We're going to have a warm body and no real leadership potentially. I mean, even in her acceptance speech last night, it was all national issues. Now she's going to doge the state. I mean, this person has been immersed in the club of 100. She doesn't even, I don't even know if she's in touch with the challenges of Tennessee. And then we got into the conversation about her predecessor, Bill Lee, and can anybody name one thing he's done? And somebody brought up the free community college, but that wasn't him. It was Haslam. What he did do was secure online gaming that's destroying families. in Tennessee and some pretty poor decisions during COVID. So, you know, you reap what you so. We'll get to that. But the main question is from Abdul El-Sayed to last night's results in Tennessee, you know, what did this week's primaries and results show us about the two-party system failure? What does it show us and what does it say about America? More with David Zanati when we come back. Listen, what's happening right now? in the Middle East is not just another headline because it can hit your wallet. And why? Well, when there's uncertainty in the Middle East, oil is unstable. And then everything follows. Gas prices rise, shipping costs spike. And suddenly your dollar doesn't go as far and it's already not going far enough. We've seen this before. And now banks are forecasting even higher gold and silver prices. So the question of the morning is, are you positioned for what's coming next?

The Carolina Panthers defeated the Arizona Cardinals in Canton, Ohio last night. 33 to 30, it was the last second walkoff touchdown run. To end it, meanwhile, to show you how to touch. I am, I was watching the Indiana fever in overtime, lose by two to, uh, Vegas Aces. 36 minutes after the hour, welcome to Friday, August the 7th, 2026. Only one chance to live this day and understand it together because we're all in it together. David Sinanati is going to answer the question of what this week's primaries reveal about the two-party system failure as well as what it says about America when we continue. But first, They don't call him the pool king for nothing. Our White House correspondent, John Decker, what did you have? Nine questions. Pretty soon he's going to clear the room and it's just going to be a one-on-one with you in the Oval Office. I don't know how many questions you got in. And were any of them the one I asked you to ask? No, unfortunately, no. I have no. It is not my morning show. I have no poll whatsoever around here. Yeah. No, look, I think I asked questions that were relevant on a number of issues. I asked the president about what he was signing. Wait a minute. You just said I'm irrelevant. No, you misunderstood me. I'm just simply signed. The president called us in because he signed an executive order on birthright citizenship. We had no idea when you and I spoke yesterday that that's what the president was going to sign an executive order on. And that was the focus of my first two questions to the president. Well, let's walk through that and then we'll get to finally maybe his attorney general getting confirmation. But walk through this birthright. We've gone around that.

laps in that anxiety pool, about as many laps as we have with the Strait of Hormuz. What is this executive order and what does it do? Well, it's important to keep in mind that is already illegal to come to the United States with the sole purpose of giving birth to a child and having that child obtain American citizenship. That is already illegal. What this executive order, however, does is it establishes new rules and regulations at both the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security to crack down. in terms of making certain that this becomes an event that is few and far between. And so to me, if that is the focus of the executive order, I don't see how that particular aspect of it gets challenged successfully in federal court. The administration has every right to enforce the laws. That's the president's job. Enforce the laws that are already on the books. Is that why they call it the executive execute executive branch of government? Exactly. All right. I cannot believe it's taken this long. And then there's been all this political jockeying, but it looks like his attorney general, Todd Blanche, may actually get a confirmation. Well, you will get a confirmation to vote today. That is for certain. And I asked the president yesterday about that confirmation vote and whether he's lobbying Republican, undecided members of the Senate concerning this upcoming vote. The president said he is. And I asked him specifically, are you reaching out to Senator Lisa Murkowski? Are you reaching out to Bill Cassidy? I mentioned those two senators in particular. In the past hour, Senator Lisa Murkowski said she is a no. So now it only comes down to one senator to determine whether or not the president's choice. for attorney general is confirmed, and that's Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana. And just like that, like the movie swing vote, it comes down to one. There hasn't been, I don't know that I've even heard the president react to, I don't know whether to call it an assassin, but a very armed, troubled individual near him golfing in California. Has that come up at all in and around the White House? Well, it's come up. You know, the president was out west this week. When all of that went down, he was out in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. And the president just made one comment about it saying, you know, this only happens with consequential presidents. And he said, that means that I'm consequential. Well, there was no doubt about the fact that Donald Trump is consequential. I don't think you need an assassination attempt to determine that. But that was the president's only comment regarding that arrest that happened out in Los Angeles concerning that individual. suspicious individual at the Trump National Golf Club in L.A. Visiting with John Decker, it's been a busy week of primaries earlier in the week. And then in Tennessee, the president have any comments about the, I don't know, level of socialist slash Islamist victories?

Well, he's had comments this week for sure. You know, the president believes that this is the winning hand for Republicans as it relates to the midterms. And that is focusing on what the Democratic Party from the president's perspective has become. It's become a party dominated by progressives, a party dominated by individuals who describe themselves as democratic socialists. And the president believes. If that is the choice that voters have all across the country, then Republicans will do well and hold on to the House and hold on to the Senate. We shall see, of course, but that is something that the president is taking away from the most high profile of victory by a progressive Democrat, and that's the victory as it relates to the Democratic nomination fight for the Senate in the state of Michigan. I conclude with this, John, because you've... You've been covering the White House for 30 years. That's a lot of presidencies. One of the silent, most relevant conversations is who is the leader of the Democrat Party? I don't think it's Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton. I don't think it's Barack Obama and I know it's not Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Could it be Hasan Piker? I don't think so. I hope not. Could it be Zohran Mamdani? Could it be El Sayed? Could it be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? I mean, who... You didn't mention Bernie Sanders, right? And ultimately, Bernie Sanders, who used to be on record... I'm not a Democrat. And, you know, now he's claiming he's the Democrat Party. And if somebody like James Carvel doesn't feel comfortable being in a party with Hasan Piker, he should go start or find a new one. So it's an amazing takeover in progress. But there is no question that Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. In my mind, I'm wondering if in yours, and if there is a narrative to be set headed into the general election cycle of this midterm, it's for him to set. And he's setting it. No, he's the leader, absolutely 100%. You know, you look at any Republican primary over the course of the past two years. If you have Donald Trump's endorsement, you're doing well. You're likely winning that primary more often than not. You know, there have been just a few examples where that's not the case, but generally that has been the case. And that's why, you know, in South Carolina, where I was earlier this week. Darling Graham believes that she's in a good spot in terms of winning the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate, succeeding her late brother, Senator Lindsey Graham. We'll see, you know, that primary takes place on Tuesday. Early voting has already begun, and we'll see who the top two finishers are that will meet in the runoff on August the 25th. Today on the White House briefing room? We're going to be talking about a lot of these things that you and I just talked about, but in greater detail, that vote that will take place in a few hours.

for Todd Blanche on the Senate floor talking in addition to that about the president's executive order on birthright citizenship, specifically this focus on those who come to this country to give birth and allow their newborn to obtain American citizenship, U.S. citizenship. That will be the primary focus. of today's White House briefing room. And thank you so much for promoting it. And I want to wish you a great weekend, Michael. You too. Be well, be safe. And we'll talk on Monday. Yeah, what I like about the White House briefing room is he talks about relevant things, whereas I just talk about what's irrelevant. But John, uninterrupted for 15 minutes, the White House briefing room with John Decker. Just searched John Decker, J-O-N. into your iHeart app or the white house briefing room it'll pop right up give it a program position so it's waiting for you every morning and you have a great weekend too john we'll talk next week our senior contributor david zanotti's here we're also breaking down some of the numbers and uh last night the big numbers are Marsha Blackburn let me go through these for you real quickly the listeners uh and this is with 95% of the votes in Marsha Blackburn ends up with 311000 votes statewide This is not a lot, by the way. 235,000 go to John Rose. Monty Fritz gets 167,000. I don't know if this tells you something, but 2,096 votes were right-ins. So I can look at this and say, okay, your Republican nominee is your nominee with 43% of her own party support. as the election turns out. Now, that doesn't mean they won't unite and coales behind her and that she's likely to win. It just means it's not, you know, an overwhelming. level of energy and enthusiasm. You could even make the case if Monty Fritz hadn't been in the race, John Rose probably would have won. Andy Ogles being ousted as an incumbent, and the dairy farmer, Charlie Hatcher, is going to be headed to the general election, and Andy Ogles is going to be leaving Congress or the two big results. Then we had earlier results, many focused on Michigan and Missouri. You know, we have this, at least in the primary process, rise of socialists and Islamists in the Democrat Party. David, what is all this this week's portion of this primary process? Reveal about the two-party systems failure or future and America? Well, you're asking the question of where are the leaders? Where is the leader of the Democrat Party? The leader of the Democrat Party, the leadership of the Democratic Party, has been a group of billionaires. They've hollowed out the political party and they put back in what they want. And they've been doing that for the last 20 years.
