An anti-incumbent movement may have gotten Trump elected twice, is this along with California ineptitude ushering in an anti politician movement?? Might this be the ultimate legacy of Trumpism?? We discuss this with senior contributor Dave Zanotti.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your Morning show with Michael Del Choano.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We're having our weekly visit with David Zanati from the
American Policy Roundtable most of the Public Square heard on
two hundred stations and presides over I voters. David, just
to kind of put a nutshell the previous segment and
the podcast is there if you missed it. Something with
everybody watching the inept leadership in California, something's brewing. Is
(00:28):
this going to lead to a wave of a further
exodus or a reshaping of the political landscape purple at
best in the future You think time will tell too
soon to tell.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
And of course for this to change, there's got to
be a group of people stand up and say we
want to lead in California, and that usually is after
the exodus.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
So the next several years are going to be pretty shaky.
Op to god, they don't get hit with an earthquake
out there.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Our sound of the day was the owner of the
Los Angeles Times and he's apologizing for endorsing the mayor
and then he talks about, you know, it really is
time to stop being so partisan. In fact, it might
be time to move away from politicians altogether and get
real business leaders, real leaders who have controlled the payroll
(01:16):
and wrote checks, because politicians are good at getting elected,
but they're not good at governing once they're elected.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Very profound. That's from the La Times.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Meanwhile, on the same day, the Washington Post announces that
the story breaks. The Washington Post web traffic takes a
nosedive since twenty twenty one, a ninety percent digital readership decline.
That's breathtaking to me in three years. And I think
that might be death of journalism plus social dilemma plus
(01:51):
COVID plus Trump derangement syndhom But ninety percent. The outlet
owned by Jeff Bezos, had around twenty two and a
half million daily active users in twenty twenty one. It's
down to two and a half million. That's just the
and we talk a death of journalism, decomposition of journalism.
(02:12):
That's breathtaking. And of course there's also technology shifts. But
what do you make of those numbers. Well, WAPO made
their technology shifts. This is post the shifts. They've made
all their changes, and there's you know, they were soaring
and boasting of their extraordinary compensation and their new way,
(02:32):
and then they fell flat on their face.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I think, I look, I look at I read the
way Washington Post every day, and I got other people
on our staff that do the same thing.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
At the American Policy Around Table.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
We tracked the Washington Post, we tracked the La Times,
We track Pop's putting on on the hill.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
We have to.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
It's what we do in the public policy business.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
The bottom line is, you know, stupid is as stupid does,
and stupid should hurt. And when you get as far
out on a limb as some of these major publications
and media outlets are becoming, you were so far removed
from reality, and you've got so many other people paying
your bills from the corporate industrial world that are unaccountable
to people who actually click, read, purchase, subscribe, you end.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Up for a big awakening. And that's what's happened.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
So we just had an election where I think they
tried to play the same playbook, only hiding Kamala Harris
in full sight the way they hit Joe Biden in
a basement, and it failed because they don't control the
narrative anymore, and they don't control the ability to silence
any opposing views. Because Elon Musk bought Twitter and made
(03:40):
it X but so we talked about death. The journalism
couldn't control the narrative, didn't have any influence. In fact,
you could win an election being on Joe Rogan or
Megan Kelly or Tuckercarlson rather than being in any of
these newspapers no matter what they do, trying to sell
a narrative recovering a story. But when you look back
(04:02):
at these numbers, Dave, and you go, well, I guess
so they didn't have any influence.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
There was nobody reading.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah, not to be surprising, because it just look I mean,
you can only handle so much stupid, and there's just
a lot of stuff that's going out there that's just
Michael is just not connected to reality.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Not the future.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
The present belongs to podcasting, digital and quite frankly about
to be banned TikTok for anybody under thirty.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
That can't be emphasized enough.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
I mean, I'm not a big fan of some people,
but you know, there's one in particular I'm not a
big fan of who has effectively reached young people on TikTok,
and that's where they're getting their political influence, and thank goodness,
it's you know, one that shares my worldview.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
But come on, I mean that it's dead.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I mean, what's the future for the Washington Post, what's
the future for the Atlantic, what's the future?
Speaker 5 (04:56):
It went the way of Talk America.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Well, you know, I went recent leads to a stage
presentation of The Screwtape Letters by cs List, And one
of the most important lines in the entire book and
in the entire play is simply this.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
The road to the best path to health is the
gradual one.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Every time these guys get way out over their skis
reality catch us up with them.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
And then people wake up and say, what were we thinking?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
And then the people who made all the money profiteering
off on the illusion go running off into the weeds.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
I think that's happening right before our eyes.
Speaker 2 (05:30):

host of The Public Square, also one of the hosts
of eighteen fifty Main Street, a podcast you may want
