Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning Show with Michael Del Joono.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Chris Walker is a Republican consultant. Analyty joins us every
Monday as a contributor. And you know, Chris, before we
move on to the Democrat candidates, your thoughts on that.
I mean, you know, sometimes when I'm analyzing why the
Democrats are losing what they should do and continue to
refuse to do that's going to lead to their extinction.
(00:24):
That's certainly not rooting for them or advising them on
what to do. And they won't do it, will they?
I mean, there's a meme today that says, when you
see the left setting Tesla's on fire, there's your proof
that they don't care about the environment. It's always been
about control. And so if they if they compromise in
any way or they pivot in any way, I mean,
(00:47):
I keep saying this, I don't think people know what
to make of it. If they do make these pivots
and there's suddenly for border security, there's suddenly for less taxation,
there's suddenly for piecers stent, Well, what the hell are they?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Then? You know what I mean? And good morning, Michael.
You know, I remember these conversations you know, after nine
to eleven in the early two thousands, where Carl Road
was talking about, you know, a permanent Republican majority, and
it was a different Republican party back than on different
principles for Trump. But you know, I feel like these
things continue to kind of swing. I just what's happening
(01:19):
today won't be what happens in five years. I think
the party parties evolve around who their leader is and
who you know, we're trying to elect. And that's just
always been the case and always will be. I think
the true north stars conservative principles and who best espouses those.
Right now, Trump's espousing them because you know, he's thinking
(01:39):
a lot of the principles of conservatism and putting rock
apeeal to them, which is great. But you know, I
think Democrats will learn and pivot. They that's just the
natural art of politics. People want to win, and if
they want to win, they've got to see where people
are going. And I just I think they're going to
adopt more principles that are more conservative. I mean, that's
a bill Clinton did in nineteen ninety two when they
had you know, two terms and you know a lot
(02:00):
of success politically, so Democrats, Gavin Newsom is learning that
others are trying to do that now.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
And that took twelve by the way, that took you.
That took twelve That took twelve years. Just for the record,
Jimmy Carter was so bad. You had eight years of Reagan,
four years of HW Bush, and then they were lucky
enough to come across a charismatic figure like Bill Clinton
that could convince everybody he was the more sensible new
way forward. And I don't even know if they got
(02:27):
a Bill Clinton in the horizon, you know, let alone
Ronald Reagan. I want to go over these numbers with you.
Among the American public, now, this is the American public. Overall,
the Democrat Party's favorability has fallen to twenty seven percent.
It's even lower in an NBC poll. But that's according
to CNM. That's a drop of twenty points since two
thousand and one. And then their view from Democrats has
(02:48):
also fallen. And then the view of even the overall
nation right direction wrong direction has increased ten percent towards
right direction. I mean, at some point, don't the Democrats
have to abandon don't they have to abandon open borders?
Among other issues. I mean, you can't keep playing that
card America has moved on dot org.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well, I mean yeah, but they're not learning their lesson.
Look at AOC, look at Jasin Crockett. I mean, those
are the ones that are getting the most headlines and
they're you know, their headline attracted detention seekers, and so
they're they're following that that thing. Look at the boss
that they took Chuck Shumer in last year to you know,
kind of try to push a goverman shutdown that they
didn't have the vost for. So, you know, across the board,
(03:31):
the Democrats are continually being led by the you know,
the Twitter addie and the far left rather than you know,
their own kind of more electoral prospects. So you know,
definitely something that I hope they continue to do. But
you know, I think again, looking at Gavin Newsom, this
is a guy who's having Republicans on his podcast because
he wants to try to change his image and he
knows he asked to if he's going to try to win.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So I'm in Sounds of the Day, we had Van
jones h talking about how the the new boogeyman is
Chucky Schumer. So they won't go after Trump, They'll go
after Elon Musk. Now the Democrats are going to go
after their own and Chucky Schumer for not obstructing and
shutting things down. The same weekend, you have Rommy Manuel
(04:15):
making it clear he's going to run, and Wes Moore
is on Meet the Press basically saying that would have
destroyed Maryland jobs if we'd just shut the government down,
destroyed the credit rating. There's a more sensible way, and
we got to know, we got to pivot and articulate
that pivot and our ideas on behalf of the American people.
I'm sorry, I'm just too cynical and have too good
(04:37):
of a memory. Rommy Manuel was pivotal to the Obama
administration in design strategy election than as a chief of staff,
a disastrous mirror in Chicago. But now he's positioning himself
as the sensible Democrat. Enough with the wokeness, enough with
the bathroom in the locker room, let's focus on the classroom.
Here's Wes Moore being a sensible Democrat. I'm beginning to think,
(04:58):
never mind Mayor Pete, never mind Gavin Newssen in some
of these other names. I think who's really running the
Democrat Party is going to be feeding us ROMI, Manuel
and Wes Moore.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Do you think I'm wrong? No, I think you're I
think you're exactly right. But I think again it's up
to us to remain visual and remind people who they are.
You know, a lot of I'm reading a lot of
five year COVID stories now and you know, again, at
the time you and I were talking about, I mean,
we knew before many that, you know, a lot of
stuff that we were seeing in the news was just
horse hockey and instance. You know, we're seeing it from
(05:30):
Ram and Manuel and Gavin Newsom and Wes Moore and
others that they're completely hiding and who they really are
in the effort to try to, you know, kind of
lie to the public, to try to convince people that
they're minitorate. We know they're not, and people are going
to have to stand up and say, like, this is
your record. You can't run away from it. You can
tell us these things now, but we know who you
really are. You guys are the first to lock down.
You guys are the first to embrace trench sndroism. You
(05:52):
guys are the first to protect government workers at the
stake of a private economy. And so you know, that's
why the Democrats continue to be in a bad position,
not because of what they're trying to be, because what
we know who they are throughout and so you can
putlistick on a pig, but it's not going to change
who they really are.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
So if that's who they really are, how do you
see them existing beyond this decade. I mean, I think
they're a fringe party at best by the end of
the decade.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I just I think generally people have short memories, short
short attention spans, and if somebody, I mean, look, Barack
obamam was looked at as a moderate. I mean you
and I both know that he was not. He never was,
and you know, he was a John Podesta led you know,
probably one of the most reckless presidents in our history
after you know, Joe Biden kind of took the cake
on that one. But you know, let's not forget these
(06:40):
are this is a country that doesn't follow politics in
and day out. Usually, you know, try to lead their
lives thinking about the economy. If the economy starts going bad,
they're going to blame the people in charge and pivot,
and so if you're the Democrat, are going to want
to be in a position to have a voice that
isn't so crazy that people be willing to listen to
you when they're upset, when they're rowin k drops. So
(07:02):
you know, there's a lot of things that have to
happen there. But I think that's what they're trying to.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Do for well, you know, one of their challenges.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
There's a lot of things we need to do.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Chris Walker joining us for a weekly visit. One of
their big challenges. From a historic perspective, They've always had
inner city They've always had campus voting. That's all changed.
I mean, the anti cop, open border, COVID control, that homelessness,
this is all rotted out for them in the inner cities.
(07:31):
We saw it in Chicago, We saw it in New York.
In New York where a mayor got it and the
people didn't. In Chicago where the people got it and
the mayor didn't. I think this looks much different than
before Bill Clinton or Barack Obama came along. They don't
have the inner city support they have, they don't have
the Hispanic vote that they used to have. They don't
have the the ninety five percent of the black vote
that they used to always have. I don't know I would.
(07:56):
I see them as a party that is losing and
about to die. Now whether or not they can avoid death,
I don't know. But at the current rate, they can't
avoid keep losing, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I hope you're right. But look at look at you.
You and I both live in Nashville, and look at
the city council that's in Nasville right now. They are
the most far left, crazy politicians you will ever see.
That's in a re state.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
It doesn't have any that doesn't have any effect whatsoever.
I mean, I'm talking about, how do you control the
country if you can't dominate San Francisco, Los Angeles, New
York City, Chicago. These have been Philadelphia, these Atlanta, These
have been the lynch pins for them to steal elections
or to have a shot, and the issues have rotted
(08:41):
them out at their last stronghold, the urban inner city
at levels.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I don't know that I would go to Nashville. I guess, well,
I mean, I guess My point is, I think they
still have that It may not be ninety five percent,
but I still think it's ninety percent, So you know,
there's a lot of work there that still needs to
be done. I think our cities are still failures in
part because of the left that's running them. I mean,
the most prosecutors and everybody else are still there, and
so there's a lot of work that needs to be
(09:06):
done there. I don't think that that's conquered territory yet.
That's that's what I was trying to say. I think,
I think you're right. I think the movement is going
the right direction, but here's a long way to go
for our cities.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Closing moments of Republican consultant analyst Chris Walker, our weekly contributor.
Of the names that have come forward, Robbie Manuel is here,
all right, so that's not my nostraudell Journer anymore. He's
making it clear he's running for president. Wes Moore is
suddenly appearing, but he hasn't made it clear. Mayor Pete's
all but made it clear by choosing not to run
for the House or Senate in Michigan that he thinks
(09:37):
he's got presidential chops.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
And Gavin Newsom is.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Talking a good game with Michael Savage on his podcast,
but of course, he is a constant hypocrite. He was
in COVID and he is now probably on the trans
issue and others. Any of these names that have come
forward so far surprising to you, or even.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Have a shot. No, it's not surprising. I mean, but
you know, let's see what I was he does. Let's
see what Shapiro in Pennsylvania does. Let's see what Kamala
does again. You know, they're gonna they're going to be
a vociferous primary in twenty eight, but Republic is going
to have one too. It's gonna be very interesting to watch.
But you know, the Democrats, it's going to be a really,
(10:17):
really difficult position for them because they hate Trump so
much that they that their their default is one of
complete antagonism to what he's doing, even though he's more
popular than ever and what he's trying to do.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Well, they got to the tail the donkey too, right,
They got to pin the tail on the donkey and
make and make them believe that the new boogeyman is
whoever I would think Jade Bants or Mark or Rubio.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
They got to convince their voters because they don't have
that anti Trump draw.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
So they got to attach that to someone.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And I think the other biggest problem for them is
going to be I think the Democrat voters are going
to leave nothing on the field to make sure that
the party can't push a candidate without them. In other words,
they're going to take the primary process very serious in
a crowded field of nineteen. If they wanted a Bernie Sanders,
or if they want a Wes Moore, or if they
(11:07):
want a Romney Manuel, They're going to make sure they
get it so the party can't pull any shenanigans.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
So that's going to be a challenge for them as well.
Not that I'm trying to fix something a lot.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I'm just trying to describe why they're losing, and I
think they might be phasing extinction. But you disagree. You
think that they will pivot, and time has a way
of cyclically correcting itself.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I hope not.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I'd like to see both parties disappear, including yours, but
that's just me.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I always always love talking to Chris Walker. Of a
great week.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
We'll talk to you next Monday or sooner if conditions weren't.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot, and
will miss you. It's Your morning Show with Michael del Churno,
