inflation numbers. And what it points to is inflation settling down, but, you know, it's still 3.4. That's out to over 2.5, which means don't expect a rate cut, but it may be settling down enough to not have to worry about a rate increase. But the American people are struggling right now, and it's hard to think of a billion dollars of renovations at the White House. I suspect there is a... Out of all of those, I will tell you, if you've ever been on a White House tour. That area is very tiny and it does seem less secure because of the proxy. By the time I'm screened, I could have done a lot of damage. I do not like that the way that visitor. screening area is set up right now. That I'd like to see. Ballroom, I don't know. Well, right. And actually, Congress approved money to do the new visitor center that they're doing. So that was part of this that's all been sort of shuffled around. A lot of this, though, is now a lot of it's coming from the Secret Service budget directly, money that Congress thought it was approving to recruit new agents instead as being used for the Secret Service infrastructure that's going to be part of the Ballroom project. You can argue valid spending. Absolutely. It's just that typically you go to Congress, which controls the purrs to do this stuff. Yeah. Coming up in the third hour, Roy's going to be back to talk about the cost of diesel fuel. It's soaring as a result of the wars in Ukraine and Iran. Since everything from food to construction supplies, all used diesel drugs, this has a way of getting back to all of us. Rory will break down those numbers for you. Real quickly, because we can't have your morning show without your voice. A lot of reaction to Karoline Leavitt. Yeah, we can, first of all, the first response should be, what a remarkably talented 28-year-old this is, with as bright of a future as she chooses to prioritize and walk into. Then we got into speculating, well, you know, she was at that correspondence center. You know, she was on that transfer to another plane in fear of a terrorist attack. This is the most targeted president in history. You know, a mother's instinct is, this is getting too dangerous. I'm going to go home and be with my kids. That could have played a role. The old trajectory was you had a very successful career, Pierre Salinger, already very successful when he became. a White House press secretary. The latest trajectory is you use press press secretary to go on to your greatest achievements. And the trajectory of the last 25 years is you become a talking head or you get your own talk show on a cable network. There's no future in that. And Karoline Leavitt is way too good for that. I have always suspected she will run for office again. She will win the next time. And she will continue to go very far.

Her political future is a lightning rod. So I'm a little suspicious, you know, that I just miss my kids. I want to be home. I would be very shocked, though it is a very high calling and one, my wife answered, and I'll go to my grave respecting the most to prioritize raising children. And it's a thankless job and an endless job. But I think she's coming back. Kind of like Sarah Mike Huckabee Bernie Sanders. this is a this is a future whatever she wants to be representative senator governor maybe even a lot higher down the road more of your reaction this is steven okay c listening to k t o k so raise a glass the caroline's run The talent that shone brighter than the sun. Stepping aside with nothing to hide, great things have only begun. We knew it was inevitable. She's going to be extremely difficult to replace. She was amazing. Yeah, very well said, Steve. Dallas is in Nashville. Hey, I was just wondering if you guys experienced the seven seconds of zero gravity yesterday. I'm still waiting for it. Just wondering if I'm the only one. All right. I've been following a lot of things. Karoline Leavitt stepping down, watching the WNBA with an amazing opportunity to solidify itself as a real league. destroy itself i don't know what that what is he referring to i'm lost red's lost about that there was supposed to be seven seconds of zero gravity yesterday something with the earth's axis yeah i'll have to look it up but yeah i did hear that story yesterday that would have been cool yeah that guy is in Memphis, Tennessee. Hey, Mike and gang, I always found global warming redistributed wealth from one section of rich people to another section of rich people. And none of it ever got redistributed to me. At this point, I'll take a $50 power ball win. I would have taken some hope and change from Obama. No, agenda 21 was first and foremost designed to create a one world government. Now, in order to do that, You got to get rid of the economic and military superpowers that won't go along with it. That was the big problem. So they wanted to create a fear great enough for the world to pressure itself to develop, de-develop countries and de-developed countries through redistribution of wealth. It was all the game. The point of the analogy was they couldn't. They scared a lot of people. I mean, it's part of the birthing crisis along with abortion, along with... selfishness, people waiting longer to have children. I can give you a laundry list of things that have created a birth crisis that is really going to topple all of our entitlement programs. And I think the left was silent trying to solve with allowing invaders just come in, make up the difference. But yeah, it was ultimately not scary enough to make anybody.

Like whenever you would ask a question, does global warning matter? Oh, they'd say, yeah, would you be willing to pay 10% more in taxes? No. Would you be willing to do anything? No. That's why I used to always say, I had the highest respect for Ed Bagley Jr. At least that moron for 40 years living in L.A. who could have been driving any car he wanted to and was pedaling around. He must have at least really believed it. I don't think most people really believed it. But when COVID came along, they believed it. And they feared for their life. And they did comply. And they did obey. That's why you've got to remember. COVID was a political weapon, not just a virus. And its main operative was Anthony Fauci, who was involved in the very gain of function research where it leaked and stood to gain from the RNA technology that he clearly was peddling. So as an operative and as a political weapon, this needs to be exposed, not just for justice, let Anthony Fauci get it, but to diffuse this weapon from ever being used again. Woody gets the final say to this segment. Morning, Michael. I hope you're right about El Cyanid in Michigan. But what does Nostro Del Giorno see in Texas? Because as bad as a candidate as James Talarico is, I am just so uneasy that the establishment rhinos, Kornan supporters, are going to undermine Ken Paxton because they hate him more than they do the love of conservative causes. I don't know. I want to claim a Noster del Grono on this, but I would say that you... We're all talking about, including pollsters, why the polls are so inaccurate. Look, every poll ends with a margin of error. And if you get your sample size right, well, if you get it strategized right and filled right, the margin of error should be somewhere around 2.5.3%. That's the best you can do without talking to everybody. But when you only have 15, 20% turnout in a primary, That margin of error doesn't stay 3.4%. That's why Frank Luntz is saying, we just got to throw these polls out in the primary process until we can figure out how to measure this better. And of course, the answer is to anybody that's done this for a long time or used it. Reds been in data analysis by way of his job. I was in research by way of my job for decades. You're never going to find the answer. And in this matrix devised, divided country we're in right now. You're never going to get everybody to participate even if you could find them and get them to answer a phone. You got big problems. I mean, you better reinvent the freaking wheel if you want to get polling accurate. And your question to Nostradale Jorno is based on polls that we know are inaccurate. So you're only asking such an urgent question because you believe the polls have Tel Rico closer to Ken Paxton. I just don't see it because Texas isn't Michigan with a 15% turnout, mostly from Dearborn. No, I don't believe it. I expect Ken Paxton to win. I guess is my answer.

Gold and silver recently soared to record highs and then it pulled back. So it's a legitimate question. Are precious metals still a good buy? Well, here's your answer. The banks think so. They're forecasting even higher gold prices ahead. And why? Because we're still 40 plus trillion in debt. The dollar is still declining and inflation keeps shrinking our savings. And even with corrections along the way, gold remains a historical hedge for wealth protection. That's one of the primary that and future currency use. In an emergency is the reason for having it. That's why Morgan Stanley, they've ditched their 60, 40 stock to bond portfolio. They're not recommending up to 20% and precious metals. Someone's gotten educated, and we need to as well.

A winning lottery ticket in last night's billion-dollar powerball drawing was sold in Illinois. I wasn't in Illinois, were you? The massive jackpot has a cash value of more than $450 million. It's the largest powerball prize won so far this year and the eighth largest in the game's history. I'm Mark Mayfield. Another key inflation report is due out today. The producer price index takes a look at prices at the wholesale level before they reach consumers and can be a good guideline of what will be paying in the months to come. It comes after the consumer price index was released on Wednesday, showing inflation went up slightly from June to July. Usually the reports move in tandem, but not always. Both reports are used by the Federal Reserve when it comes to determining interest rates. I'm Tammy Trujillo. Attorney General Todd Blanche is again insisting that the Justice Department's proposed anti-weaponization fund is dead. More from Scott Carr in Washington. Attorney General Todd Blanche says he's rescinded the order creating the over $1.7 billion fund and insists no money was ever distributed. The fund faced fierce criticism from both sides of the aisle, largely out of concerns that people convicted in connection with the January 6th, 2021 attack on the Capitol, could be awarded payments from the tax. taxpayer fund and account, while several federal judges have also questioned the legality of how the fund was even created. Todd Blanche says he and President Trump still support compensating people they believe were victims of a weaponized Justice Department. In Washington, I'm Scott Conn. Nice day for a white wedding. Billy Idol's latest tour is underway. More from Mark Mayfield.

He launched his It's a Nice Day to Tour again tour over the weekend in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Idle played a 16-song set list filled with hits like White Wedding, Rebel Yale, and Hot in the City. He also included songs from his 2025 album, Dream Into It, including Still Dancing. Idol is said to be on the road until the end of next month. He will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November. I mark me for you. Well, if you have a phone, you most likely are getting hit with an influx of spam calls like never experienced before. And here's why with Bree Tennis. According to tracking data, Americans received an estimated 4.4 billion robocalls last month. So odds are you got some. And no matter how clever you are in blocking them, the spammers have workarounds to get you to pick up. They use your area code and use fake caller ID like the IRS. And you can't stop them because spam calls are not illegal. The FCC says if you don't recognize the number, it's best not to answer and hit block. I'm Bree Tennis. Yeah, you can do that all day. I won't help. Good morning. This is Mark from St. Louis, Missouri. Just so happens, your morning show is my morning show, too, with Michael D'Urjano.

I'm glad you're alive. Have a great day. We do. Good morning. Welcome to Thursday, August the 13th year of our Lord 2026, 35 minutes after the hour. If you are in the Eastern Time Zone, you've got 25 minutes to be to work by 8 o'clock. Karoline Leavitt is out. Why? Who will replace her? What might she ultimately do down the line? We'll talk about that with John Decker, our White House correspondent in moments from now. But first, Donna's in Philadelphia. Oh, Donna.

Good morning. I was able to see the tail end of the Perseid media shower this morning. Hmm. It pays to get up early. Well, I was up early, but I was too busy trapped in this room. Big John and Poughkeepsie. So Big John's pick is Kaylee McAulennie. Bring up back. Bang. We got some picks for you, and I got a leak, so I don't think it's going to be her. Steve from Oklahoma City. This is two for Steve today. This is it. That's your limit. You and I have similar taste in music. When you announced Jethro Tull 17 more dates, I thought I've probably seen them 17 times. Now, I was instantly reminded of the first time I saw them in Red Rock's amphitheater in Colorado, 1971. Total riot going on outside. Tear gas everywhere. And they told Ian he couldn't go on stage. He just said, if I don't go on stage, there will be a riot. I saw that. So I saw that one. I bet it was. All right, 37 minutes after the hour, Karoline Leavitt is leaving her role as White House Press Secretary at the end of the month. This is a remarkable 28-year-old woman. And I think, you know, whether she decides to be a stay-at-home mom, which is the toughest job on Earth, or goes on to become a... representative, senator, governor, or even higher, the sky's a limit for her down the road. But who might replace her? We're going to talk about that with somebody who's been at the White House for 30 years covering presidents. John, this is a pretty big breaking story. Some of my listeners have speculated, well, you know, she was at that correspondence dinner. Then when the president had to make a switcheroo to get out of... proximity to Iran, you know, maybe a couple of, you know, death scares made her want to go home. Why do you suspect now? I don't know, you know. Yeah, good, good question. I don't know. A simple answer to your question. It caught me by surprise. I have a lot of respect for Karoline Leavitt. You know, I've covered and worked with 17 different White House press secretaries, including Caroline. And I put her in the top tier. She was very good at her job. She was loyal to the president. And he had. her trust. And, you know, when she spoke from behind the podium, you knew that she knew what she was talking about in the sense that she was involved in those policy meetings, sitting in those policy meetings, which is not always the case with White House press secretaries. But, you know, look, she did just come back from maternity leave just a few weeks ago. I think that since she's been back, she's had two White House press briefings. And so for that reason, I was caught by surprise that announcement from Karoline Leavitt. She texted me yesterday. You know, I've got a personal relationship with her. I'm really sad to see her go. And the president, when he names a replacement, whoever that is, that replacement will have some big shoes to fill. Yeah. How good was she? You've seen 17 of them. Tony Snow is still tops.

on my list. You know, we talked earlier behind your back about the trajectory like Pierce Salinger and others. It used to be you had a great career and this was your reward. Now it's been more people that are unknown that go on to have careers. And I suspect hers will be, she ran for office and lost. She will run again for office and win in the future. And I think the sky's the limit. But how good was she? I mean, who was your fate? Who do you think was the best? Yeah, I've always said, you know, the best Republican press secretary, Tony Snow, I agree with you. I work with Tony. I like Tony. I miss Tony. Very sad. You know, in terms of the fact that he died so young. And I thought the best Democratic White House press secretary was Mike McCurry, who was the first press secretary that I worked with. He worked, obviously, for Bill Clinton. But having said that, Karoline Leavitt. right behind those. I mean, she was top tier. She was very good at what she did. And you mentioned her age, just 27 when she took all the job. Crazy. So she gets extra points for that, which is crazy. She was just so poised from the start. Not a surprise to me. You know, I've known her since when she served in the first term. So I agree with you. Sky's the limit in terms of what she decides to do for the rest of her incredible career. And, you know, whether it's elective office or, you know, being a pundit on television, she'll be very good at what. she does she's above pundit on television but she will run for office and win uh all right replacements you know you're always bragging i have sources i have people i have sources too and my sources are all saying alina Alina Habba but um i i would go with brightbart white house bureau chief matthew boyle except when's the last time we had a man i don't think it's you know it just doesn't seem like anybody would consider a man for the job anymore Yeah, the last male press secretary was actually Sean Spicer. Sean Spicer, of course, served as Donald Trump's first press secretary in his first term. So, you know, that is how far you have to go back to find that. You know, I've heard Monica Crowley as another possibility who works in the Trump White House and has some experience in front of the camera. So that's a possibility as well. We shall see. I don't know. I can't get inside the president's head. You know, the president has had to rely less on the White House press secretary position because he often is his best voice out there, explaining administration positions and answering questions on a daily basis. That's one of the reasons why we haven't had that many White House press briefings in the course of this year. Yeah, we would have talked a lot about what we're about to say, but until this Karoline Leavitt surprise announcement, but the... new approval ratings. It's been two years. We're heading into midterms of a end of his presidency. Let's face it, it's, you know, he enters that lame duck stage. What can we learn from these approval ratings, John? Well, they're not good. You know, there are a few polls that I'm looking at. One was The Economist magazine, did one with UGov and has the president's approval rating at 32%. Another one coming out earlier this week from Quinnipiac has the president's approval rating at 35%. Regardless of which one you're looking at, there's no doubt that his approval rating overall is down. Still extremely strong with his base. I mean, he's like 90% with his base.

But overall, it's the reason why independents have essentially soured on the president. That's the reason for his declining approval ratings. And it's not a good place to be when you're less than three months away from the midterm elections in which Republicans are trying to hold on to both the House and the Senate. Yeah, if conditions were normal and they're far from normal, whether the socialist, Islamist fever has broken or not. the Democrats are so divided. But yeah, this would normally spell disaster. We all understand that approval ratings will never be in the 70s again, you know, that 50s probably a new norm where that divided. This president in particular would derangement syndrome versus worship, you know, but I would think anything, anything in the 30s is really, really bad. And this is really, really bad. All right, what's coming up today on the White House briefing room with John Decker. Well, we're going to talk first and foremost about the story that you and I just spoke about, which is Karoline Leavitt, stepping down from her post as the White House Press Secretary. And we'll also talk about a legal story, the convening of a grand jury right here in Washington, D.C., a special grand jury, what that means and why this is happening. So that will all be on today's White House. press briefing and I'm looking forward to talking with you more as the week progresses about Karoline Leavitt and who those replacements that the president may be considering. I think Karoline Leavitt will be a United States Senator very, very soon, maybe sooner than people think. She needs to be at least 30. You need by the Constitution, you have to be 30 years old. So she's got to wait a little bit. Next. By the way, how old is she next cycle? Yeah, that's right. And old enough. 30 years old. You should have learned your lesson when I told you. Donald Trump would sweep all the swing stage. You're still questioning the great nose or dog. You go and I'll sell you. The White House briefing room with John Decker is a must hear every day. He keeps it short, concise, unbiased. It's everything going on in and around the White House. Just search John Decker, J-O-N into your iHeart app or the White House briefing room. It'll pop right up. If you give it a program position, it'll be waiting for you every morning. It'll be out later this morning. That'll be about 8th, Central, 9 Eastern. All right. I don't have but two minutes, but I have to do this. This is more than just in the sounds of the day. It's remarkable to me, and it's thanks to the Indiana fever, and it's thanks to Sophie Cunningham. It's thanks to starting with the three points of Caitlin Clark, Caitlin Clark, Mitchell. I mean, this is a pretty remarkable team. And there's this all the sudden interest in women's basketball. And if they would ride that, it would solidify them finally.

But they can't stop, like the Democrats, right? They can't stop destroying themselves. Now, at some point, I always remind people, passion equals focus, equals action, sets in motion, a direction, arrives at a destination. If the passion was the game, if the passion was growing the game, celebrating the game, you wouldn't be having these issues. It is right. to question with the passion of the WM. At the point, you're the WNBA, and you can't define the W, you've got a problem. Now, what everybody is watching is a bunch of thugry and fights hoping a basketball game breaks out. There are enough interesting people, and in the case of Sophie Cunningham, She combines attitude, beauty, four threes. She can play. But there's almost like a turf war going on between those with a sexual preference one way versus those with another. Or those of a certain race versus those of another. And you can't hide it. It's obvious for everyone to see. Now, the latest was Sophie Cunningham, who has brought most of the popularity of the game, even over Caitlin Clark, and especially her relationship with Caitlin Clark and her protector role of Caitlin Clark and all this other drama. And I was watching the game live. She goes up for a layab, and this girl wraps her, I mean, just clotheslines her right around the neck and throws her to the ground. She could have really, really hurt her. It was so flagrant. And the criticism became that the coach, Stephanie White, didn't come. In fact, the most chilling part about the video is you can see her seeing it happen and she comes onto the court real fast and you think she'd go to Sophie. She doesn't. She goes to the player that committed the foul. And then after the game did nothing to defend or stand up for Sophie Cunningham. And now yesterday goes off the rails. Listen. Anybody that questions her, here's her message to you. The hate, the fearmongering, the divisiveness, the stuff that's trying to hijack our league will not win. It won't win. We are united. We are connected. We will not be divided. Every day these women put their ass on the line. Every day. When they go low, we go high. Love will win. Grace will win. Humility will win. Love will win. Doesn't she sound loving? Grace will win. Sounds crazy. And then watch this. And kindness will win. I stand by them. I will always stand by them. Everybody else can go to hell. Everybody else can go to hell. I love the Bible verse. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Eventually it slips. It speaks. She read her statement. Love. This is all LGBTQ code words. It's always the inclusion. All the buzzwords are in there. Love, love, love. They go low, we go high. Michelle Obama reference. But in the end, and everybody else can go to hell. But kindness will win, Michael. You know, there's a lot of people saying, and she got booed in the last home game, that Stephanie White needs to go. Obviously, she needs to go.

But the league's got a bigger problem than that. Everybody running this league needs to go. And kind of like Francesco and others that were trying to, you know, kind of hide everything that they said, El Sayed in the past, it's too late, it's out and everybody knows. They had an amazing chance to be a real league with real popularity. You can go anywhere the fever are playing at home or away, and good luck finding a place to sit. Out of the jaws of victory, the WNBA has found defeat because their passion, their obsession all along has been sexuality and woken, not the sport. It deserves the death that's coming.

Is she serious? They're not saving lives. I don't get it. The WNBA is just like the Democrat Party. All they have to do is not be crazy and they just can't do it. They can't do it. They can't help them. Completely subsidized by the NBA, by the way. So, you know, clearly they're more interested in being their little club. And they don't, like, you want to get to the heart of it? They don't like seeing these people getting, how does Sophie Cunningham a sixth off the bench get her own shoe deal? That's the rub for them.

That's the part, you know, that and that the fever has broken this mold and captured the attention of America. And let's face it, two of the four, if you really follow the team, and it's a really good brand of basketball, they're good. I mean, they couldn't compete against an NBA team, but they're good. And two of the four are white and two of the four are heterosexual. And two of the four are bringing a lot of attention and popularity to the sport and filling stands. They'd rather those stands be empty. What do they care? NBA is picking up the tab for this financial failure. And how the buttons of the heart the mouth speaks, not just in her slip. Love will win. Grace will win. Kindness will win. Go to hell. But I mean, it's leftist arrangement. It really is. And it costs them an opportunity to be a real league. But you know what? It reveals they never were interested in being a real league. It really shouldn't be the WNBA. The BLMA, the LGBTQA, I don't know, but boy, have they blown it. And they don't just need a new coach in Indiana. They need a new commissioner. I need to decide what they're going to be. The NBA needs to stop funding it. And what a shame it is. But I guess we'll make the coach a loser of the day, but the league ultimately is the loser of the day. We're all in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Del Giorno.
