Seven minutes after the hour, good morning and welcome to Tuesday, rather, August the 12th year of our Lord, 2026. At least three people are dead after dangerous storms swept through the Midwest yesterday. Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley has defeated State Representative Francesca Hong. There will be a Thanksgiving after all for Wisconsin and America. And NBC News projects that the Republican Senator, Darlene Graham, sister of the late Lindsey Graham, will face Congressman Ralph Norman in South Carolina and the Republican Senate runoff. We'll have more analysis from David Sinati and moments from now.
The big question is, is social media harmful and addictive? Well, we know it's harmful and we know it's addictive. What are we going to do about it? You can't expect the metas and the TikToks to govern themselves. They won't. They're profiting. And you are the product. You can't expect politicians to protect you because they're using these. So really, what is your last line of defense? And we've said this from the very beginning. It's going to be lawsuit after lawsuit. That's the only thing that's going to get them. to comply and change. Our national correspondent, Roy O'Neill, has this story as it's unfolding before our very eyes. Good morning, Roy. And good morning, Michael. You know, earlier this year, we saw a couple of lawsuits that Meadow took to court in California and New Mexico, lost them both, by the way, by people who were suing saying that their children typically were caused great harm by this addiction to these social media platforms. Well, this week, a U.S. appeals court ruled that thousands, thousands of similar lawsuits can move forward, that these companies don't have the protection of Section 230 of the communication. Decency Act. So this is really stirring the pot. And it all comes as next week. California and three other states take these big social media companies to court seeking $1.4 trillion, with a T, trillion dollars in damages. Yeah, that they're going to use what? To provide care for people. But that doesn't solve the next one from being harmed. And again, what's causing all the problems? The algorithms. It's by design. I mean, I can't encourage people enough out of everything. There is a documentary called The Social Dilemma. And I think it came out some four or five years ago now. But you ought to watch it. These are the creators and the designers of Google, Facebook, all of them. And what they reveal is shocking, and it is out of control, and it is algorithm-based. So, you know, I think it's, look, once you have damages, you got a lawsuit. And I think that ultimately is what will probably get them to self-regulate themselves. But you turn off the algorithms, you turn off the business. So I don't know. It's going to have to be very big judgments and awards. Well, right, and we'll see perhaps if there's some sort of a settlement that happens in advance of the suits that start next week. But to your point, this addiction is not a side effect of social media. It's the intent. And that's the driver. Well, I mean, but that's what's driving the business model to get you to doomscroll and spend more and more and more and more of your time on there. And they get more and more information about you. And it's all about marketing. They are not interested in reuniting you with your high school classmates. That's not what these companies want. They do want your data. You know, why do I scroll the way I scroll? Because it...
It knows exactly what I want. So it's golf lesson after golf lesson after golf lesson. And they get me for an hour. Now, I used to always say, that's no different than what we did as program directors. Our job was to get you to listen to the radio station, then get you to listen longer, then get you to listen more times a week, then get you to listen more times a day. They just found a way to do it with an algorithm that is so manipulative and perfect. Now what do we do? And I think the other thing, Rory, too, is... You know, it does come down to parenting. I thought it was interesting that all these executives from these social media companies did not allow their children to have phones until after 16. Isn't that a revelation? But you could say, well, it's up to the parents or it's up to the kids. They make these choices. Well, that's what we said about cigarettes too. And you don't see commercials in magazines and you don't see commercials on television anymore for them. None of that happening for online. Didn't the president, by the way, just lift the band on TikTok for federal? devices? On federal devices, yes. Well, now that it's a domestically owned company, that was the... We think. All right. Rory, we'll have more in the third hour. We're going to come back and talk a little bit about if there's any progress towards peace in Iran, but I think we know we have the answer to that. David Zanadi is our senior contributor joining us this morning. David, obviously the two big news is, our Darlene Graham is headed to a runoff in South Carolina, and Francesca Hong is gone, and the polls couldn't have been more wrong. I'm out of Rhymes. Good morning, Michael. On Buster Rhymes birthday. Yeah, yeah, there's a lot in these headlines that confirms the reality that all politics is local. The races that were determined in Wisconsin and Minnesota are races that are important and races to watch. But they don't change the reality that those states are very different from one another. One is by and large bond. in regards to common sense and constitutional authority and what's left, the people that are voting the power in Minnesota are in a bad way. Now, it doesn't mean everybody's gone. We've got great listeners there. We've got great listeners in Wisconsin, and people are struggling mightily, just that they are in New York and Illinois. But there is a consensus of people who are showing up to vote in the Democratic establishment that basically want revolution. And this is their sport right now. And in Minnesota, they're doing very, very well. So it doesn't really matter. I like how it always matters. But what I'm saying is that the primary is pretty much the general in this case. Wisconsin's different. There's still a contest going in Wisconsin. Right. Well, listen, I've said this about El Sayed and Michigan. Remember, Michigan, why am I getting that, by the way? Oh, is it his, do you have your phone up or your radio up in your car or something? No, sir. I don't know how I'm getting myself back. Yeah, it's driving me nuts. All right, anyway, to make my point, Elsa, don't forget President Trump carried Michigan and Wisconsin. And this is the Democrats way of trying to say, we're not going to be purple anymore. We're not going to let the Republicans turn our state purple. We're going back blue. And the way we're going back blue is far woke, far socialist, far, far left. And it seems to be backfiring. And Abdul El-Sayed's case, I think he's got a real problem come general election. The numbers don't add up unless he converts everyone that voted against him for him. And even then it'll be tight. And I think I could say the same for what is going to be faced.
in Wisconsin. I mean, yeah, Francesca Hong lost, but nobody's noticing. that Tom Tiffany had nearly 500,000 votes. I mean, they're going to have to unite that Democrat Party if they're going to win the general. It's looking like a lot of socials primary wins and then a lot of general election losses are on the horizon. It's going to be my point, fighting over. And it's a fair point. There's another one I think we want to add into the conversation, and that for the Democratic Socialists, it actually is not as important that they win. the elections is that they win the debate and they're on a long-term journey here and if the people who disagree with them can't make better arguments than them then they're going to win because they're going to be around for a while so this is the concern that we have is is that have we lost the base of understanding of what it means to be an american and how our country works and are these people exploiting the fact that the voters don't have a knowledge base left any chance david that maybe the democrats are not fighting back against this socialist, Islamist fight because they wanted to die by light of day and then turn around because the presidency is more important and bring sensibility with Rahm Emanuel and their bait and switch and get away with it. You're asking the right question once again, and I can't tell you with absolute certainty that I know what's left of what this idea of their Democrat leadership is. I honestly don't know. For at least the last 50 years, he who pays the Piper calls the tune, and it's been simply the people who pay for this. Well, the Democrat National Committee, the Democrat Party, is broke except for a few power bases who seem to be not saying much right now. The question's going to be, where's their money? I think your good guess is that their money's going to be Rahm Emanuel and save the party and save the country and present themselves suddenly as moderate. Today, their moderation is still extreme. But the question is, is that money even going to play? Do we know? Senior contributor David Sinati is joining us. We're going over the election results from the primary Tuesday. The big one, of course, the governor's race in Wisconsin, where Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, who in the polls was supposed to come in at 7% of the vote. She was supposed to win by 22%, meaning Francesca Hong. She ends up losing to Crowley. They will go on to face Tom Tiffany and Darlene Graham headed to a runoff in South Carolina against Representative Ralph Norman. That's the two biggest. results. Minnesota did have some socialist wins. David, I want to end with what you just brought up. They seemingly have a DNC chair change coming. They are broke. The turnouts have been very low and very narrow victories for the socialists. Now when turnout is in the spotlight in the general, they have no money.
and now they'll face tough Republican opponents. This whole socialist movement may have been a little bit too fast, too quick. It's going to backfire. Yeah, and it's a moment of the decision for the people who fund the Democrat Party. Are they ready to push everything to get their agenda farther down the line and fail? Or are they going to take their time? It's a tough question. And there's no indication that the moment of decision hasn't been made yet. Well, remember, the Democrats, the Democrat Socialist's first goal is to take over the Democrat Party, then get rid of the electoral college, then dismantle the Republic. So they are making a run to take over the Democrat Party. If the Democrats pull a fourth bait and switch with Rom Emanuel, as they did with Bernie Sanders twice and with Kamala Harris the third time over Joe Biden. They have still ginned up enough followers to disrupt and create quite an violent insurrection, which is what they had planned, we forget, in 2020 if the old Joe didn't work. So there is that to keep in mind, too, in an uncertain future. Final thought is this, they may have so succeeded in polarizing themselves in tribalism. that the people with the money don't know who to back because they don't want to be called racist or they don't want to be called sexist or they don't want to be called Islamophob themselves. So maybe their own strategy has made life very difficult for them. Well, for the moment, the establishment Democrat empire has struck back in Wisconsin anyway. David Zanadi, our senior contributor, thank you so much for your insights on this morning after. We'll talk again soon. Michael, yes. Thank you. Dear God, heal our phones. Amen.

The latest polls give Crowley a 3,000 vote lead over Hong. Crowley will now face Republican Tom Tiffany in the November general election. Crowley's a Milwaukee County executive who had the backing of retiring Governor Tony Evers, who had argued that Crowley offered the best chance of delivering in November. I'm Tammy Trujillo. NBC News projects Republican Senator Darlene Graham, the sister of the late Lindsey Graham, will face Congressman Ralph Norman in South Carolina's Republican Senate primary runoff. Most importantly, I want to thank the Republican voters of South Carolina for having confidence in me. Darlene Graham was appointed to the seat after the passing of her brother, Senator Lindsey Graham. She has the backing of President Trump. I look forward to the next two weeks, meeting with you. listening to your concerns and telling you more about me and my conservative values. NBC projects neither Graham or Norman will have the necessary 50% plus one vote to avoid a party runoff that's set for August 25th. I'm Scott Carr. Well, we warned about these storms yesterday. At least three people are now dead after dangerous storms swept through the Midwest yesterday, more from Mark Mayfield. Two of the deaths were in Indiana. Four-year-old boy was killed when a tree fell on his home, and another person was killed in a house explosion. believed to be storm related. The third death was reported in Ohio. I'm Mark Mayfield. Well, Hot Ron Stewart, canceling all his upcoming tour dates. Here's why.
Stewart confirms he underwent a routine coronary stint procedure and is very much on the mend. The singer says he will take four weeks off of his one last time farewell tour, but plans to return to performing soon. The 81-year-old legend was scheduled to be on the road through September 3rd, including six Las Vegas residency dates set forward late August. I'm Mark Nefield. We'll just had a long conversation with Rory about this. There's no question we're a phone society. But if you lose it? You'll likely lose it. The handheld device has all the answers. It communicates with others and can throw you into a wild panic if you can't find it. That's called nomophobia. And you can hit that freak out within one minute of active searching. Increased heart rate, sweating, full on dread. Psychologists say the distress is real and very similar to separation anxiety. You gov says there's an easy solution. Put a tracker on it. Or maybe look in your hand. I'm Bree Tennis. I remember. with the kids. You could do anything. You punish them. We were not spankers, but I think they would have taken a beating. But when you would take the phone away, they'd go absolutely out of their mind. Oh, it's over after that. Good morning, Michael. Scott from Sun City, Arizona.

This is your morning show. I'm Michael. That's Jeffrey with the sound. Red. disappearing. We're staring only at his bourbon bottles. If you are just waking up, obviously we had those storms we were expecting in the Midwest and they turned out to be as deadly as we thought. Three dead. Former leader of Syria being sentenced to death in absentee for torture and other crimes. And Taylor Swift gets inducted to the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. We give preferential treatment always to the Ecole Classic class of 82 to the point guard and quarterback of our football team. Tap Benz, we go. You can thank your friend Dr. Anthony Fauci for all this tipping nonsense. It was barely around before the shutdown. People were happy to help. And now it continues and has become expectation. I had not thought about that link, but it is true. I really think accurately, if you trace the origins of all this, just tipping anybody for anything and everything goes back to when Anthony Fauci created the Great Boogie Man COVID and anybody that went to work because most weren't allowed were considered heroes. And so we were, you know, so grateful that you threw us a shake or a burger. We'd tip you for anything even if we had to cook it ourselves. He's right about that. Blake writes, Michael, with all the coverage on Hong, how embarrassing for her parents, her exposure to the public as a self-absorbed social media brat who moved back in with her parents as they paid off her financial failures. Wisconsin dodged one for sure. Did they? Rick writes, so was something up with the polling or did the DNC intervene to save democracy again with ballot stuffing, mail-in voting for mysterious people? That is probably the story of the day for all the attention, but never mind that, that can be just the medium. The polling suggested that Francesca Hong on August 5th was the last poll, was going to win by 22% and she lost. The Polly Market heading into Election Day had her winning at 98%.
had her opponent at 2%. The reality, she loses. What does it mean? John Decker is our White House correspondent who enjoyed a wonderful chicken Caesar wrap with a fancy Italian dessert on Air Force One yesterday. Thank you for sending me the menu. I asked for it. What do you make of these election results or what should we make of it? Well, it depends where you're looking at. You focused in your introduction on Wisconsin, and I think that the voters of Wisconsin in choosing a person who was not Ms. Hong wanted to focus on electability, the person they believe can best win the governor's mansion in November. And it wasn't Ms. Hong. And the reason I say that, look who did not endorse Hong. It was Bernie Sanders who said, I'm not endorsing her. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said, I'm not endorsing her because they realized that. This party, the Democratic Party, is being painted with this broad brush of Democratic socialists. They don't want that if they want to win elections. So you could make the case and you're wise to do it because you've been covering this stuff for 30 years. You don't do politics normally, but you're wise to point this out. Abdul El-Sayed may have played a role in this. They can't have her plus Abdul El-Sayed set the narrative heading into the general. It would have been too dangerous. Oh, I agree with you 100%, you know, as it relates to that race for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, Democrats chose someone who's got a lot of baggage, a lot of baggage in terms of what he's posted on social media. I think he's actually deleted 100 videos on social media. That tells you a lot about how even he recognizes he's got a lot of baggage heading into that general election to win that open Senate seat in Michigan. And for Democrats, they see what was happening in Michigan. And they did not, as you point out, Michael, want a repeat of that happening in Wisconsin. Yeah, I should say to be accurate, Graham Platner plus Abdul El-Sayed plus Hong would have been too much. It's still a problem moving forward for them. You said something the other day, and it stuck with me. And watching her last night in her speech after. achieving a runoff and that's what darling graham the sister of the late Lindsey Graham will face a runoff with representative Ralph Norman in south carolina it is shocking she's just the sister of a senator man it's like she's been doing it her entire life polished Yeah, she's polished. You know, the president, when we returned back on Air Force One to Andrew's Air Force Base, answered a few questions. It took a number of questions for me, and I asked him about the race. And he said, it's just genetic, you know, as it relates to Darling Graham. I was asking him about that race in particular. He told me, by the way, that he intends to go down to South Carolina to campaign for her before that runoff election on August the 25th, so made some news there.
But, you know, look, I told you I was there last Monday for that debate. And she was going up against seasoned politicians. People have done this many times. And she held her own. And that says a lot. And she did get 30, I think 32% in a very crowded field. And you have to imagine I was thinking about what happens to that Congressman Frye who came in third place. Who does he endorse? He'd be foolish not to endorse Darlene Graham. And why do I say that? Because President Trump has endorsed Senator Graham. And you don't want to be on the wrong side of President Trump if you're a Republican and you want a future as a Republican in the Republican Party in South Carolina. Lindsey Graham was a great leader behind the scenes, a great fighter behind the scenes. He was a very influential senator. She's actually seems as polished as him only even more likable. If you can imagine. And then with Trump's backing and the party's backing, I would think she's in a pretty good position. But just to wrap it up because you said, Darling Graham ended up with 109,000 votes. Ralph Norman ended up with 82,000, Fry, 65,000, Mark Sanford, 50,000, Mark Lynch, 19,000, where they go and then higher turnout and the general election and the push of the president still to come. things look pretty favorable for her. The Socialists did get a win, a big win in Minnesota. Anything else on elections you want to bring up? No, I think that, you know, you look really what happened in South Carolina for Republicans and then what Democrats were doing in both Wisconsin and Minnesota, that tells you the whole story about the narratives for both parties heading into the general election. Obviously, you know what the narratives are going to be for Democrats. They're going to focus primarily on the issue of electability and for Republicans. They're going to focus on how far left. the Democratic Party has become and how that party cannot govern, whether it's in the Senate or whether it's statewide as governor, that will be the message that they will have for voters in November. John, you travel with the president. You did again yesterday. What do you make of all this conversation about trying to make a narrative out of the president's exit in proximity to Iran or who's more important, the president or others? I mean, don't we all understand if Secret Service has to make a call, the priority is the President always? Absolutely. You know, I mean, I get it. I get it why, you know, certain folks out there, pundits, you know, people who are activists are saying certain things about the President. If he is told to do something by the Secret Service, you don't have a choice. You don't have a choice. And so I knew when the President came out and spoke to us, he was going to essentially. say exactly what he said yesterday to the reporters, the small group of reporters that were gathered around him after he exited Air Force One. Not as surprised at all. The Secret Service is very much concerned about the president's safety. That is why the president switched to that third plane heading to the U.K. Well, you remember how we just said maybe El-Syad had more to do with Hong's loss last night than people think? I could say the same thing for JFK.
The Secret Service was greatly reshaped after losing JFK because JFK fought the Secret Service constantly. He chose to go to Tampa when they said they're going to try to assassinate you. He made them go anyway. Then he goes to Dallas, makes them go anyway. Remember all the things leading up to that, the treason posters, the, you know, spitting and so on. And the president insisted on going to Dallas, and he insisted on no top on the vehicle, and he's dead. They're not going to listen to presidents anymore. That was shaped during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. I mean, the president can make objections, but they will physically remove him if he doesn't obey. So, I mean, I understand why people are bringing it up, but come on, this is like arguing the W and WNBA. It's just a no-brainer. The president doesn't have a choice. Secret Service will make those decisions. All right, real quickly, because you're running late, I'll do your promo. John will have all the election analysis, all the results from the visit to Ohio in his White House briefing room. That's 8 a.m. Central, 9 a.m. Eastern. It's very concise, very unbiased. I highly recommend it. It's a daily podcast. Just search the White House briefing room or John Decker into your iHeart app. It'll pop up, give it a program position, and that way it's waiting for you. Every morning. We'll talk again to John tomorrow. I bet that chicken Caesar rap was delightful. Joey's in PA! John Mike and Jeffrey Redd, yeah, this whole polling deal just doesn't seem to add up. I don't know if it was rigged or it was wrong or what, but in my opinion, her whole campaign was just flat out boring. She had no ump in her voice. Even her own son was yawning at the polling place the other day when they were interviewing her. Well, she went too far. But Thanksgiving, Mary is the call of the day. Mary bringing up Justice Scalia talking about socialism.
It's what's the quote again? It's taking without asking and receiving without thankfulness. No wonder they're not for Thanksgiving. This is, is it Paul? I can't read my own writing. I know he's Paul W.B-E-X. WBEX, Paul, go ahead. On this tipping thing, also these big super stores, they want delivery tips before you even get the services completed. And they automatically do 10% unless you go in and find out a way to do it to no tip. You don't have the option to tip after the service is done. You have to tip based on the service they say you're going to get, which is most of the time not exactly accurate. Yeah, I'm beginning to wonder if we're supplementing salaries for these large companies. The problem is most of them use a third party to do these deliveries. I just had a nightmare with a major company. And I went ahead and canceled the order. But the delivery came with my refrigerator. refused to hook it up because a non-trained non-plumber said that the water connector had a leak and wasn't secure and he can't be responsible for the damages. Now, all three of the delivery people did not speak English. I'm not being racist. It was frustrating. They're handing me a phone to a bilingual person. I agreed with the bilingual person. I will release any damages, any liability. I'm looking at it. It's a pencil tip drip. Hook the freaking refrigerator up. The guy says, okay. And then they take my refrigerator anyway. Even with the plumber pulled into the driveway, I have a picture of them leaving with my refrigerator that I bought as the plumber is here. Sorry, we have a timeline, you know, and it was just absolutely ridiculous. And so they need to watch their third party people, obviously, because I may never do business with that company again, and I've spent hundreds of thousands of with them over my lifetime. But yeah, tip them for what? You don't know what's coming to your door. And I doubt it will ever be tipworthy. Don is listening in Indiana by way of Louisville. Good morning, Michael. I'm 73 years old and I have been contacted twice in my life for a poll. Twice. I don't know if they call in the middle of the day when working people are working. Well, yeah, primarily because that's when they're working, they call it all hours, but yeah, primarily they're targeting during the day and in the evening. The problem is they can't get a landline anymore because no one has one. And when they can't get people to respond, either because they don't trust them or they don't answer phones that they don't know who's calling.
they start using the people that do respond over and over again. So I don't know why you've only been called twice in a lifetime, and I don't know how many times you've been called to jury duty, but I can tell you'll be called less and less. Because once they find someone that will respond, they keep going back. So if you have inaccurate polling, you can continue to have inaccurate polling because you're talking to the same inaccurate people, weighted too much in a non-proper sample size. But yes, the polls suggested that... Hong was going to win by 22% days out before the election. Even the Polly market was affected by it. On election morning, it had her percentage chance of winning 98%. And she goes on to lose to David Crowley. They had him at 2%. And he goes on to win. It's all inaccurate. Or is it inaccurate and weaponized? Or did something happen and someone intervened to save democracy in Wisconsin? Keep those talkbacks coming.
