Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning Show with Michael do Cho.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
No, all right, we were teasing you all morning long
about the Overton window. What is the Overton window?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Trust me, you've had that installed. You've got them wide open.
You're enjoying the breeze.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
But it is worthy of a conversation and a teachable moment.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Chris Walker is joining US republican consultant, an analyst, and
a Your Morning Show regular contributor. All right, let's get
it all out in the open. What is the Overton window?
Because I think they may not know it by name,
but they're certainly seeing it in the news.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
The Overton window is the NFL refs community giving kat
Kansas City a free pass assistantly in football games.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
That's at window. Yeah, that would be the Overland Park window. Yeah, sorry,
good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
No, you know it's it's it's it is the change
over time of acceptance of political issues.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
And what we've.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Seen in just the first week of President Trump's second
term or second first term is a real shift in
like the political dynamics of the country in a real way.
I mean, looking at his inauguration last week and looking
at kind of the main issues that are happening a
(01:18):
real real alignment. I mean goodness, We've seen Bill Maher
interviewing Matt Cats, and we're seeing you know, tech titans
who were kind of the vanguard of of of censorship
and and and silencing opposition to being you know, at
the president's inauguration, and and and being at the forefront
of elimitting DEI and and and contributing to like a
(01:41):
great American reawakening. You know, all of this is kind
of happening very quickly, but it's it's changing rightward and
equip and just in the most healthy and and and
exciting way.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
And uh, you know, it's fun to be a part
of it.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
But it can happen so quickly, but it also can
happen so slowly that sometimes hard to see.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah, if you google overton window, you'll see this sliding scale,
and I think I love the way the scale does it.
So it starts with unthinkable, then it goes to radical,
then it goes to acceptable, then it goes to sensible,
and then it goes to popular, and then it goes
to policy. But the window never stops opening and shutting,
(02:23):
and then from popular it goes to sensible, to acceptable
to radical to unthinkable.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
So it just kind of goes in cycles.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
But for those that are trying to figure out, Chris
what happened, I mean, it just seems like moments ago,
if you questioned a vaccine, there was something wrong with you.
If if you were to question or even suggest that
there's only two genders, there would be something wrong with you.
If you would suggest that the borders be secure, and
the people who break the law, beyond breaking the law
(02:52):
of entering illegally, they should be deported. All those things
were unthinkable that you would choose Israel over Palestine. It's
like nobody knows how to put their arms around.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Um.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
We didn't just get a new president, We've got a
whole new world worldviews the board.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I mean, you know, Jave and Mela was probably the
the Canary and the coal mine and that idea of
like the global power. I mean. Trump's speech to the
World Economic Forum last week was just such a wonderful
moment of here. For the last twenty five years, the
World Economic Forum is this place where the global elite
get together and in chart policy, and Trump comes in
(03:34):
and basically just you know, breaks it breaks their entire
world toew and it starts calling out CEOs by name,
to the Bank of America has to say, oh, no,
we do accept conservatives. I mean, it's just such a
tremendous shift.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
But here comes, here comes the toughest Here comes the
toughest question for you. Yeah, could the Overton window have
been shifted without Donald Trump? Could the Republicans have shifted
it on its own? That's why I always say this
is not a Republican victory, It's a Trump victory. In
other words, there was a time Donald Trump was unthinkable.
This guy can't win. Then he was radical, and he
(04:11):
ultimately became the boogeyman and the devil himself. Then suddenly
he gets the nomination. Suddenly he wins the election, first
against Joe, then against Kamala, and then he becomes acceptable.
Then in his transition, he becomes sensible. Where is he
right now? Is he sensible? Popular? I would say he's
popular now and policy is next.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
But where do you think we are on this Overton window?
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Let me answer your first question. First, does Trump? Could
the Republicans do without Trump?
Speaker 2 (04:42):
No?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
You know, simply no. I mean because look, I mean, look,
I'm a veteran of a multiple you know, Republican campaigns administrations,
and nothing like this has ever happened before because everyone
played it safe, and everyone played it by traditional means,
and everyone didn't come in rethink alliances and saying we're
going to build a wall and just you know, just
(05:04):
completely changing the discussion. It took Trump to do that.
It took the boldness and vision of Trump to do that.
And you know, someone like me was like with skeptical
for a while. But now you're seeing the real results
of conservative policy happening in a week and it's it's
breathtakingly wonderful to watch. And so you know, no, I
(05:25):
don't think it could have happened because we've had decades
to try.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
To built back from the left and it hadn't worked.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
And here within a week we're seeing, you know, true
governance where you know, there's bills being considered abolishing the
income tax.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
This is something I've.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Wanted for twenty five years, and here we are with
potential to do it because of Trump. So I think
that answer that question is simple. Now where are we
on the Overton window?
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Now?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I'm I would say, you know, I would liken it
to a little bit. You know, everyone kind of talks
about dependent on the swinging. I would say that we're
kind of instituting a pretty right word shift and the
pendulum right now. I think there will be a pushback
from the left. They have their ideals not going away.
They have a lot of institutions that.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Are that are broken. They've broken many.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Many institutions, and I think that's part of the reason
why we're seeing such a shift. But I would say
we're kind of in the beginning phases of this shift now,
and it's it's remarkable because it's been so leftward and
so you know, just.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Status quo of that being leftward for.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
So long that even like the smallest shift is looked
at as a massive earthquake.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So you got the Dei purge, you got the Dea Bus,
you got the deportations, the big Colombian cave. Eight thousand
former troops who were discharged for refusing the vacs reinstated
with back pay. I mean, there was a time where
we said, how, let's be realistic about what Donald Trump
can get done in these first one hundred days to
(06:55):
a year, and it's probably the border in the economy
and that set. Now I'm beginning to think will he
be done after one hundred days. It is a remarkable
pendulum swing. Chris Walker is all things Republican consultant analysts
joining us. All right, let's take a look at who
the Democrats think. And again this is coming from the
(07:16):
Washington Post. And we know that the Washington Post and
the Atlantic and the Associated Press, these are the people
that kind of feed the narratives to all the foot soldiers,
to the cabal members, and to the intelligency at the university.
So we take this much differently than if it just
had been some random source. So they're already trying to
(07:37):
sell their top twelve names. They've got a bunch of
stinkers in here on purpose. They're just the stewfish or
you know, they're just there to make you think these
other two top two look good. But here's their list.
They got Tim Walls in there at number twelve as
a potential candidate for twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
I can't.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I mean, only Kamala Harris and Tim could be the
worst of the worst. Andy Burschheer, I think as a
running mate is a legitimate name. I think Gavin Newsom
is done Fetterman seriously, as we said, a guy in
a hoodie and sweatpants coming out of Marine one. I
don't think America's got the vision. Kamala has done, Mary
Pete's done, Gretchen Whitmer as a running mate, Josh Shapiro
(08:19):
top or bottom of the ticket. And then the one
they have at seventh is the one they really planned
to sell you, which, by the way, my wife was
the Buffalo Bills of the Miss Oklahoma pageant.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
She was runner up four years in a row.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Clearly the pageant wasn't going to allow somebody dating a
conservative talk show host to win.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
My win. She got Missus del Jornal much better title.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
But my wife will tell you when they're putting the
top five together, always beware of the one they put
in the middle. That's the one the judges planned to
give the crown to. Wes Moore is right in the
middle at number seven. But in all of this, Chris
and I think I'm going to be right about Wes Moore,
or they're going to hold him for more years, depending
(09:04):
on how things look. He is eventually their next Barack Obama.
But these are all names, these are all personalities. They
don't have anything in terms of worldview, policy view, or platform.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Do they.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
They don't, And we have a long way to go,
you know, from all of that, obviously, I mean, we
have a midterm to really kind of solidify. Or do
we have two years of a President Trump of the
good in the winning that we're seeing, or do we
see the Democrats kind of come back and they're going
to bring back everything they can't do it. Let's not
forget they have an entire corrupt system behind them trying
(09:39):
that will vociferously push back.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
However, what journals, what Facebook?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Why? Well, the bureaucracy, I mean, obviously they're trying to
root that out, but the court system, I mean there's
hundreds of of of levers and kind of rrors. I mean,
you know, there's a lot of stuff that can happen.
But ultimately, I think we're going to see, you know,
(10:04):
how does Jadie Vance handle all this stuff and and
and how does that how does the continuation of Trumps
them as you say so well kind of manifest in
someone else, and how it's Republican party kind of kind
of shift. So it's way too early kind of for
me to kind of won't even think about that, but
I think, you know, you're right Wes Moore is certainly
their their number one draft pick, so to say, and
(10:26):
a mediacs to all this stuff that's going to Yeah,
and he's been pretty quiet right now.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Way to make it look to take out the rest
of there to make him look even better and is
the only sensible choice.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
I'm gonna go full circle.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
We're down to thirty seconds, and I want you to
answer this final question, and that is, now that we
all know what the Overton window is, can that Overton
window window close and reopen and shift in the next
four years that quickly?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Absolutely absolutely, It's it's why we need to be aware
of it and and be cognitanive of it. And it
has been a left leaning left sprinting over the last
four years window, and you know, thank goodness, we're in
a position where it's shifting right. Word again, thank you
to Elon and to Trump and others. And it's something
that we need to take very seriously carefully because it's
(11:14):
it's the future for our country at stake, and it's
something that's so important to how we how we continue
to grow and flourish.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
I'm more of a street guy, but I liked our
classroom session on the Overton Window, Chris Walker, All Things Republican.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Thanks for joining us. We will talk next Monday or
sooner if conditions warn't. You have a great week and
be blessed my friend.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
