Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's Michael. Your morning show can be heard live
weekday mornings five to eight am, six to nine am
Eastern and great cities like Tampa, Florida, Youngstown, Ohio, and
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. We'd love to join you on the
drive to work live. But we're glad you're here now.
Enjoyed the podcast two.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Three starting your morning off right. A new way of talk,
a new way of understanding because we're in this together.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
This is your morning show with Michael gill Chorn.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I'm wondering if we need to do stick It to
your Airlines again. Of all the stories I have sifted
through and my eyes are crossed from doing it. We
have Delta Airlines and United Airlines getting sued for selling
premium at an extra cost window seats and when the
people got on the plane there was no window.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Hello, stick it to your Airlines.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
We may we have a stick It to you Airlines
watch and effect between now and the end of the
third hour. Hey, it's eight minutes after the hour. Welcome
to Thursday, August at twenty first. Good morning, I'm glad
you're alive. I'm glad to be alive. Aren't we glad
to be together. Morning is broken. Let's fix it together
with understanding. The Texas State House reconvened, as they always do.

(01:17):
These tantrums are usually Democrats. They always leave town try
to hold things up. This time they really made a
national story out of it. But ultimately you have to return,
and elections have consequences. Democrats returned. The new district maps
have been passed. They're now headed to the GOP controlled

(01:38):
state Senate where they're sure to pass, and the matrix
narrative will continue. But what's next is a big question
we're going to answer today. I know Indiana, Missouri, and
Florida are all considering redrawing maps and or redistricting. Ohio
must by state law. And then of course you've got

(02:00):
California and other Blue states who have already jerry mandered
their states to perfection, threatening to do more of it.
It's more narrative than it is. Look, redistricting is constitutionally
necessary as populations change how you draw them, and if
you abuse the drawing, that's jerry mandering. Not all redistricting

(02:26):
is jerry mandering. You know the game. Everybody does it,
but when the Republicans do it, it's a.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Threat to democracy. It's racist.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
It's a crisis when the Democrats do it, it's business
as usual. Director of National Intelligence Telsey Gabbert cut forty
percent of her staff.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Aren't you too glad you.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Don't work for her? One of you'd be gone. Oh,
let's play that game for a second, shall we. Who
would it be? Jeffrey or Read? You think it'd be you?

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Read?

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Well, Hurt is irreplaceable. Anybody can come in here and listen,
watch your mouth, or to be you. Sorry, No, it
would definitely be Red. But Red, I love you, and
it's not going to happen, and I would miss you terrible.
You shouldn't say Read. I just that's my brother twin.

(03:17):
I think we were separated at birth. I would fund
you out of my own pocket Read if that were
to happen.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
There's no thinking about it, Michael, I think it actually happened.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
We are We are the I do And I told
you my dad he was a little frisky back when,
and traveled a lot.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
As Kathy.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yes as Kathy Early, our next door neighbor with a lisp,
used to say, miss the bob, miss the bob, Yes, Kathy,
you always go fist and fists and fish but you
never bring home many. Fifth, of course, if we were twins,
I would know from Mom. But I'm telling you there's
something about us. It's very much alike. I'd around forty

(03:56):
million people under coastal flood alerts. As Aaron is now
a cat too. Hurricane will not make landfall in the
United States, but wreaking havoc along the Eastern Seaboard. Evacuations
have been ordered in parts of North Carolina's outer banks.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Powerball Jackpop no winners.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Again.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
We had a couple of million dollar winners.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
And two of our your morning show states we're on
in Detroit, Telsa, and Oklahoma City. We had two million
dollar winners, one in Oklahoma and one in Michigan, but
not enough to take home the big prize. So the
jackpot jumps to seven hundred million dollars and we've got
not one, but two Thursday night football games. Tonight, Steelers

(04:35):
are at Carolina and the Patriots are at the Giants.
So good morning, and welcome to Thursday, August the twenty first.
We'll make sense of all of this with our correspondence
and our contributors. You know, one of the things we
talked about with Rory yesterday. We're going to follow up
today and that is, well, we got some good news
for you, and we've got some bad news for you.
The good news is unemployments low. The bad news is
the workforce is shrinking.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Now.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
This when had happened last time and a Democrat was president,
was big news on talk radio. So isn't it just
as big now? Just as concerning We'll ask your money.
Was an economist David Bonson about that if everybody on
the left is only rooting for the left, I mean

(05:20):
they're just team Democrat, Team Democrat, Team Democrat, and everybody
on the right is either team Trump, Team Trump or
team Republican.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
I think it's Team Trump, Team Republican.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
So if the left is only rooting for the left
and the right is only rooting for the right, here's
a good question. Who's rooting for America. That's how stupid
the game is. I don't care who's president, whether it's
an R or a D. To root against them is
to root against yourself. They're in the cockpit and you're

(05:55):
sitting in the plane, and if you're on a couple
of airlines, maybe without a window, that you're paid for it,
but you paid for it. Oh, there's a lot of
that for taxpayers. Things we paid for it don't get.
So we're gonna ask our senior contributor, David Snati extreme partisanship.
Has it become anti American? Everybody made a big deal

(06:16):
on of Stephen A. Smith given the president credit for
you know, hey, look reminds me of the blind guy
in the Bible. Right. Look, man, I don't know who
he is. I don't know if he's the Christ. I
don't know if he's the Messiah. I don't know if
he broke the Sabbath. All I know is I was
blind and now I see. So that's what Steven A.

(06:37):
Smith saying. Look, I don't know if this war is
going to end with Russia and Ukraine. But at least
he's trying. Give him credit. He's not napping and filling
his diaper. He's leading the world and trying for pete.
Since when is peace bad? Well, if you're so hyper
partisan and Team Read is the one bringing about the no,

(07:00):
we'd rather war, if Team Read is making your city
say rom nah, we'd rather die. We'd rather get snuffed
on our way home from the seven to eleven. And
yet nobody ever just brings it up. I had somebody
email me yesterday because I mean, I try to be fair.

(07:21):
I try to call balls and strikes. There's just one
side that strikes out a lot. But this guy writes
me and he goes, well, if you're a neither Republican
or Democrat, first of all, that's a fact. And most
people who really know me, I have obviously by platform

(07:43):
everything in common with the Republican Party.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
They just don't live it.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
The reason Donald Trump is the phenomenon that Donald Trump
is is he I mean, I beg this question of
everyone listening to you should talk about button. If you'd like,
name one thing Donald Trump's ever done that is counter
to the Republican Party platform, and yet he's perceived as shocking.
When I was in Tels, Oklahoma, one of the local

(08:10):
newspapers wanted to do an article on me about and
it called me a shock chock, like I was Howard Stern,
like I had naked women in the studio and I'm
just doing things that are shocking. I said, well, if
I'm a shock jock, then the only thing shocking is
the truth. And you know what, now that you mentioned it,
the truth is very shocking. In this day and age.
Gave me the title of my book, standing Up for

(08:31):
What's right. The only thing left shocking in life is
the truth. Make your great T shirt. You just you
desperately want some merch, don't you. You don't believe it
doesn't matter. We made national news with our one hundred affiliate.
That doesn't matter. You just want merch. I think it
would mean it'd be nice if somebody invested in a
coffee mug for it. Come on, got a little extra
pocket cash to gamble on the golf course with which
you know you're turning this into a eighty D Thursday.

(08:56):
But you know what, I got to tell the story.
So Dennis Pryor, he since passed away. When I first
started in oldies radio, I did. I did overnights for
I think it was three months entry level minimum wage.
This is how minimum wage is supposed to work. It's
an opportunity. I should have paid WTIX for giving me

(09:17):
the chance. But anyway, I did overnights and then Dennis
Prior came in the morning, brilliant morning personality. Went on
to have a great career. I think it was in
Minneapolis after New Orleans, so everybody had their designer jingles
where the jingles said your name, and then they hired
Dennis And I don't know if they were too cheap

(09:38):
or Dennis was so brilliant he didn't have them make
him one, so his never went Dennis Prior w so
his just went.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Dennis Prior Like that.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Do you tell me who's jingle you thought stuck out
the most? But here's my point. We don't have like
merchandise with the Let's say, uh, I don't I guess
what's the big brand that everybody uses.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
I'm on Elo, but stan.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Lee or whatever they yedi the therm okay, so you
know we don't have any other logo on it. But
one of my listeners just put her made a sticker
and put it on. And that's what I almost prefer,
Like Dennis Bryor the sticker.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Don't you over like that fancy made one.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
This is a Penguin Earth, not even a top named brand.
And my dad still looks good. By the way, speaking
of brands, who was remember that guy we featured as
she was from Cracker Barrel Corporate and she was doing
all the corporate speak. Now they've changed the logo, you're
the Cracker who's ever gone to a crack Now, listen,

(10:48):
when my kids are a little I'd walk into Cracker
Barrel and go.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
You know, it would be a good idea if you
had a restaurant door in addition to the store door,
because when you have three little kids, I'm spending eighty
dollars on tour that they have found while I'm waiting
for a table for my forty dollars breakfast. And of
course they were never going to do that. But who's
ever went to Cracker Barrel and said.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
You know what, if they'd changed that damn logo, I'd
come more right.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
What was wrong with a logo?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
So in case, I don't know if you have Cracker barrels,
but breakfast chain good breakfast. They during COVID and then
into inflation, they kind of shrunk their portions and they
never brought them back. I have asked for a window
table and got a wall, but that's another story. But

(11:40):
you're the Cracker Barrel. So the logo is an old
man sitting on a chair. Looks very similar. It's not
a rocking chair, but if it were, it'd be like
the rocking chairs they have outfront that they're selling, right,
so he's sitting on a chair of his arm up
on a barrel. It's a cracker sitting next to a barrel. Well,
I never thought of it that way. He would have
always thought, Is it really That's what I've always thought. Well,

(12:02):
then maybe they needed to get rid of that. That's unclemmercials.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
I'd never thought of it that.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
And then of course it's themed the Old Country Store,
and that's what you walk into.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
There's some great stuff I shopped there.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I got my there's a little lamp here in the
studio that's a peacock and I got it there. That's
been removed, so doesn't say old Country Store. Would you
call him Grandpa Cracker? And his barrel has been removed?

Speaker 3 (12:31):
Right?

Speaker 1 (12:32):
And uh? And they basically changed the shape now the
shape used to I don't know if I'm the only
one that saw this was kind of a pumpkin shape,
the only one that used to see that.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
And now they've changed the shape and it's just the words.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Cracker, barrel. And I'm like, just give me more of
my hash Brown cast role again. That's all I really
want leave this place at. Why is it we finally
get something perfect? And they got to hire some kid
out of college.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
I should tell that speaks to the dimensionality, out of the
diversity of a you know.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
But yeah, so they're changing their logo, but they can't
ever remember my toast. They never bring out the toast
because they saw you eating a couple of biscuits. She
denied you your toast. But anyway, I don't know what
made me think of cracker Borough. All right, things that
we're going to break down for you. The Democrat Party,
as I say, is just as I used to say,
and everybody thought it was crazy.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Death of journalism. They were going to die. Was dead.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Try to sell a newspaper, try to sell ads during
the six and ten news, you know, I mean even Fox,
who's number one in cable news.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
It's it's just a guy with a rash.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Who ends up with sudden death and oozing from orphices,
you know, one prescription after another. All right, so journalism
is dead. I believe the Democrat Party is dying. I
think it's a parasite death. I think the uh the Democrat,
the socialist and Islamist within the party whose first goal
was to take over the part already will destroy it.

(14:00):
But it's dying pretty good on its own will break
down the numbers for you. They are hemorrhaging voters. And
when I say hemorrhaging four point five million, there seems
to be an exodus in process. We also have a
Rasmussen Reports on the President and how Americans feel about
him using national forces to secure out of control dangerous

(14:22):
blue cities.

Speaker 3 (14:23):
That's in our poll of plenty.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
And you could list the cause of death in Florida
and that truck crash as sanctuary city. This guy has
fate failed US English and Science test. In other words,
he sees stop, he doesn't know what's stop, he.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Can't read his sign. Yeah. The truck driver wow.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, but yet got his license from two sanctuary cities
that led to death in Florida.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
This is your morning show with Michael Del Chrono. No,
I know him, and I'm telling you should not take
the call. Yeah, no, I listen my he's my lawn guy. No,
he's not to be trusted. You got the delay on, Yeah,
I got the delay on all. I can't have your
morning show without your voice. Use that talkback button on
your iHeartRadio app, just like my yard boy Corey did.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Hey, good morning, Michael. The reason they've settled on the
name Cracker Barrel is because Honky Bucket didn't really do
all that well in the focus groups.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
I told you he is sniffing grass clippings this morning.
Can't you can't take you can't answer that line, Big
John and Poughkeepsie.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
You definitely got to give credit to US Housing Director
Bill Polti. Every day he's uncovering a Democrat who has
two primary mortgages. The line's got to be eight and
a half and give me the OVA.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Oh oh, listen.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
I don't know how you feel about the host, but
these are the greatest listeners on Earth.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
The woman a Q by the way, say she will
not be bullied by President Trump and she will not resign.
We have her story and your top five stories of
the day coming up.

Speaker 3 (16:08):
I actually have we have to do. We have to
do full email theme and all.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
I've got so many emails to go through just to
give equal time for those that'd like to write rather
than talk back.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
This is ding from Bolk, Wisconsin and my morning show
is Real Morning Show with Michael design.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Of Hey, it's Michael reminding you that your morning show
can be heard live each weekday morning five to eighth Central,
six to nine eastern in great cities like Nashville, Tennessee,
two below, Mississippi, and Sacramento, California. We'd love to be
a part of your morning routine and take the drive
to work with you. But better late than ever. We're

(16:48):
grateful you're here.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Now. Enjoy the podcast. It's a little bookie.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
It's just a h fictitious things. Say hello, Big John
from the sports back of your morning show. You got
to get the show, got to go, the show's back?

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Who is that? It was good to talk to you?
Get is sleep? Seriously?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Right?

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Who was that? Bruno Mars?

Speaker 1 (17:06):
He really wanted to He wanted to bet eight to
one with Big John on that.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
I say, he's not really a book.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Thirty six minutes after the hour, Erni bird gets the worm,
the lazy squirrel, missus not Horiz and Shine one and all.
Just throw that first leg over. It's going to happen
one day. But like today, I was having a really
good dream when the alarm went off, and I thought
I could just sit here for a second, and you
know how that works. Next thing you know, you go,
you're thinking about, well, I don't want to fall back asleep.

(17:32):
Am I falling back asleep? Am I asleep? Next thing
you know, your producer's calling the show started. So I
always just you know, you got to resist the urge
and just throw that leg over and then once your
feet around the ground, you'll be happy to embrace the day.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Grab yourself a cup of coffee.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
We've got a lot to understand together, and it is
a conversation and it belongs to you. After all, this
is your morning show. Don't be like my lawn boy, which,
by the way, is he under a sheet whispering when you.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Make that call.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
I don't know it sounds like it, but we do
love to hear your voice. Use the talkback button on
your heart radio app part if you're just waking up. Well,
those Democrats had to return home sooner or later. They
always do after these stunts, these tantrums, and the Democrats
and Republicans have passed a plan to redraw the congressional
map in Texas. The bill now heads to the GOP
controlled state Senate, where will surely pass. Around forty million

(18:21):
people are under coastal flood alerts. Aaron is now a
Category two hurricane off the coast of the Atlantic Evacuations
have been ordered in parts of North Carolina's outer banks.
The powerball jackpot. We had a million dollar winner in Oklahoma,
a million dollar winner in Michigan, but not a big winner.
So now the jackpot is seven hundred million dollars and
two Thursday night football games. That's Delas and the Panthas,

(18:44):
the Patriots and the Giants. Fortunately, I'll be asleep by
the Patriots and the Giants. All right, Democrats, I you know,
at some point you would have you know, had this
been a Fox story, for example, it had been complete matrix,
Fox have said it, it would have been true. In
all the left, whether it's the New York Times, the

(19:06):
Washington Post, the Atlantic Axios, they would just ignore it
and it would be as though it's not so, or
the ignorance is somehow bliss. So the first thing that
just strike you, this is coming from the New York Times,
from the New York Times, the revelation of a dying

(19:28):
Democrat Party. That that's a moment of pause to absorb that.
We always say, behind every headline is a story, Behind
every story, there's so much to talk about. Well, the
headline is the Democrat Party faces a vote voter registration crisis.
Now they have a voter registration crisis because they have
a leadership platform, and messaging crisis because they have shifted.

(19:54):
I was mentioning that email earlier and then I went
into like a E Thursday, and I forgot to do it.
He said, if you're neither Republican nor Democrat, why do
you spend most of your show saying how bad the
Democrats are and how wonderful Trump is? And I started
to tell you, if you really knew me, I could
think of a couple of Republicans in Tennessee that my

(20:16):
friends would go, oh, he can't stand them. Scott de
Charlais is the only one I love. And that's common right,
your hardest, you know, on the people that are closest
to you, I would probably say I'm definitely an independent.
And I got there because the Democrat Party to me

(20:37):
is unrecognizable and I have nothing in common with their
platform or their candidates. We don't even share the same worldview,
let alone policy views. Republicans if they would live their platform,
and that's when we got sidetracked on the conversation. Name
one thing Donald Trump is done that isn't in the
Republican Party platform. He's not something shocking. What shocking is

(21:01):
he just finally lived it and did it. This would
be a Republican Party victory if they had ever had
the courage to live it. He did, and that's why
it's Trump is not Republican. But what am I? A
former Republican who probably caucuses mostly as a Republican? Why
am I so much? It would be certainly anecdotal and perceptive,

(21:27):
but I'll grant him. I'm probably more negative about the Democrats.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
And my answer was.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Simply because that's how bad the Democrats have become. That's
how bad their worldview, policies and candidates have become. I mean,
if we were talking about JFK, he'd had my vote,
but he's not running and the Democrats wouldn't have him
if he were alive today. And I assure you if

(21:57):
he were alive today, he wouldn't be running as a
Democrat like Trump, like Reagan. He'd no longer be a
Democrat and probably be something perceived as even crazy right
of Republican because he dared to live it. And I'll
remind everybody Trump is not establishment, and trust me, establishment republican.

(22:24):
I don't view him any different than Democrats. But this
is part of that partisan matrix that until we overcome it,
we can never unite. We could never be American again.
That's wy I'm gonna spend some time with David Sanati.
If the left only roots for the left, even if
it's good, I mean, or even if it's bad, they

(22:45):
or even if it's good, they root against the right,
the only root for the left.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
This's kind of what Stephen A. Smith was getting at.
What are you for war?

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Why would you give the guy credit for trying to
bring peace? Whether he succeeds or not, at least he's trying.
What I would say to Stephen A. Smith is because
the left will only root for the left, and when
the right is controlled, they'll root against America if they
have to. They don't want that person. Were we any
better with Obama? I hope so, but I'm not sure.

(23:16):
When Barack Obama was president, everybody was rooting against him
and America with it. And I'm like, why, well, because
we want him to lose next time. Well, but he's
in the cockpit and you're in the plane. You're rooting
against yourself. This is insanity. So we're gonna talk with
David Sonati left only rooting for the left, right only

(23:37):
rooting for the right, who's rooting for America? And has
our extreme partisanship become anti American? But to answer that
emailer's question, I think the Democrat Parties become in platform
very anti American curely living in that moment right now,
they're literally rooting for war so that Trump doesn't get
a victory. They're rooting for open orders and chaos and

(24:01):
crime and drugs and human trafficking because you don't want
to have Trump have a victory. You're rooting for crime
in blue inner cities because god forbid, if Donald Trump
shows everybody you can have a crime free city if
you're just they're engaging it, arresting it, charging it, convicting it,

(24:22):
and jailing it. So before I even get started with
this segment, the Democrat Party faces a voter registration crisis
only because they have a messaging worldview and policy crisis.
What's the crisis? The Democrat Party is hemorrhaging voters and

(24:46):
long before they ever get to the polls of the
thirty states, and I am to deliver in life, I
don't think Tennessee, they don't ask you what you are.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Do they do? They? They do? They do.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
We're one of the in the thirty states that track
voter registration by political party, Democrats lost ground to Republicans.
Are you ready for this? In all thirty zero for
thirty where it's tracked prior to voting, that four year
swing from twenty twenty to twenty twenty four adds up

(25:24):
to four point five million voters, a deep political hole
that takes years for the Democrats to climb out up.
We used to always say you start with a disadvantage.
Now abortion life, it tends to be an equal swing.
Some people define their whole party affiliation on a single issue,

(25:49):
but by and large, the case has always been there
are more Democrats than Republicans, so all things equal, if
everybody shows up equal, Democrats win every time. But that's
not the case anymore. They have lost. I mean, they
don't have the stranglehold on the Jewish vote in America,

(26:12):
the Black vote in America, the Hispanic vote in America.
And I got news for you. They were losing the
youth of America that they used to have a stranglehold on.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Because this gen Z they're not buying the lies.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
There's been some good work done on campuses to give
credit where credit is to. I mean, you can make
a blanket statement like crunching these numbers, and the New
York Times does. But the New York Times and I
don't think the Democrat Party and I don't think crazy
Democrats on social media get what really caused this. Kevin

(26:46):
Newsom's a great example of that. Right, where does podcast go? Well,
I had to go away. That's not fight, fight, fighting,
trying to be reasonable and come back to center to
win the presidency. No, no, no, the party wants us
to go further left. Well, now your fight. I mean
when Trump read said this off the air, when Trump
said fight, fight, fight, that was a you're getting a shot.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
In the head.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
The Democrats are doing fight fight fight now over keeping
borders open, that the American people want secured, fighting for
crime in our inner cities when they want them safe,
fighting for war when America wants peace. They're on the
wrong side of every one of these hills moving forward.

(27:32):
So now what Gavin Newsom's going to do is he's
going to start mimicking and fight back the way Trump fights.
All right, well, at best, that style without the substance.
At worst, keep in mind it's not unique when you

(27:53):
do it. It's copying. Who is the first person across
the Atlantic? Everybody knows Linnenbergh. Who was the second? Nobody
knows that's Gavin Newsom. Third, you do know Amelia Earhart.
So the power of being first copying I used to say,

(28:17):
and now that Rush has gone, I feel a need
to do a disclaimer. Michael Reagan was very similar to
Rush Limbaugh and in some cases you could say better,
Why is Rush the standalone icon? And talk radio history

(28:38):
and some of you're going Michael Reagan was he related
to Ronald step Son because he was second doing the
same thing. Uniqueness and being first is everything. And you
can't beat Donald Trump, who's authentic? Trying to be like
Donald Trump when you're not offuthentic and you're playing a

(29:02):
fight fight fight game that he played when he got shot.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
I'm the only one that still believes.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Look, I guess you could be really, really incompetent, but
things were so incompetent that day, kind of like they
were a daily plaza. He may have been betrayed by
his own security and they wonder why they're hemorrhaging the
four year swing adds up to Republicans having a four

(29:30):
point five million dollar swing in voters. All told, follow this,
Democrats lost two point one million registered voters, so they
have it indoctrinated the next generation. They're losing hearts and
minds in the courtroom of public opinion. They have moved
from blue states because of failed policies and realities. I mean,

(29:54):
there could be any number of reasons. We could brainstorm
it like it was a conference room meeting. But all told,
they lost two point one million registered voters between twenty
twenty and twenty twenty four. Somebody's probably thinking, too, Wait
a minute, twenty twenty, that's right after they pulled all
their shenanigans. Maybe they lost two point one million registered
voters because they faked two point.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
One million registered voters in the twenty twenty election.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
I've set it out loud before Cory the yard boy
snuck the call in under his sheets. But that's losing
two point one million voters in the thirty states where
people register by party, along with the District of Columbia.
In the remaining twenty states voters do not register with
the political party, Republicans gained two point four million the

(30:46):
stampede away from the Democrat Party is occurring in battleground states,
the bluest states, and the registrates states across the board.
I want to get to this. Few measurements reflect the
luster of a political party's brand more clearly than the
choice by voters to identify with it. That's that attaching
yourself to its identity, the way they want to kill babies,

(31:11):
the way they want to speak against cops, the way
they want open borders, I can't be affiliated with that. Hey,
if it was Barack Obama, it's cool. But when it's
Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, that's a huge point. Few
measurements reflect the luster of a political party's brand more

(31:34):
more clearly than the choice by voters to identify with it.
And fewer and fewer Americans are choosing to be Democrats.
There are still more Democrats registerednationwide Republicans, But are they
energized and going out to vote. That's the other big
key element in the elective process. That's why I said
if if both parties are equally energized, if both parties

(31:56):
are equally united, and the Democrats can't be because they're
in a civil war with themselves.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
But if they were, they'd win every time. There's more
of them.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Democrats went from nearly an eleven percentage point edge over
Republicans on election day in twenty twenty to just over
six percent in twenty twenty four, virtually half of their
edge gone. Here's the quote of the day. Well, I

(32:27):
don't want to say the death cycle of the Democrat Party,
but there seems to be no end to this, said
Michael Pruser, who tracks voter registration closely as the director
of Data Science for the Decision Desk HQ.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
I mean, there's just.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
No silver lining or cavalry coming across the hill. This
month after month, year after year loss it's adding up.

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Well.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
I may not be Michael Prusser, I'm Michael del Jorno,
but I'm telling you one of both parties will be
gone by the end of the decade, and you are
looking at the heart monitor of a dying party. The
shifts also previewed the Democratic weakness. In twenty twenty four,

(33:20):
the party saw some of its steepest declines in registration
among men and younger voters.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Oh, the reality is bad. The future's even worse.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
All four presidential battleground states Arizona, nevad At, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania showed significant Democratic erosion. And how did I hit
the electoral college number right on the head in Donald
Trump's victory, because if he took one of those swinging states,

(33:52):
he would take them all, and if he couldn't take
one of them, he wasn't going to take any of them.
In six years, the GOP share by nine percentage points.
The Democrats shared dropped by eight percent as opposite directions,
and one is leading like an adult and the other
is having tantrums and playing games like children. Future doesn't

(34:15):
look bright. We're all in this together. This is Your
