Is the Democrat Party Looking at Extinction?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Sandy Shack sitting in for Jeff Coooner. A
new Wall Street Journal poll has Dems favorably hitting I'm sorry,
has DEM's favorability hitting a thirty five year low at
the same time that the GOP is gaining trust. And
this is from the Democratic pollster John Ansloan, who is

(00:21):
the guy who did the survey for the Wall Street Journal.
He says, the Democratic brand is so bad that they
don't have the credibility to be a critic of Trump
or the Republican Party. He says, until they connect with
real voters and working people on who they're for and
what their economic message is, they're going to have problems.

(00:42):
And those problems seem to be compounding. The Democratic Party's
grip on voters is slipping well. While Dems once enjoyed
a six point registration edge back in twenty seventeen, Republicans
are now leading that they're the one that are ahead.
That's pretty bad news for the Democratic Party. I mean,

(01:05):
especially if you count the fact that they are counting
on all these illegal aliens to help them. Even with that,
they're not doing that well. And if we had a
multi party coalition government that the Democratic numbers would not
be so bad if you have multiple parties. But we
live in a two party system of government, and you

(01:27):
know the Green Party notwithstanding, those are not serious parties.
I mean, the people in them are serious. I don't
mean to denigrate them. I'm just saying that they don't
really hold any weight. But if you're in a two
party system, being down by thirty points underwater there is devastating.
And they've hung their future on some you know, eighty

(01:50):
twenty issues like children in gender and fairness in women's sports.
You see it, you know, in the issues regarding Israel,
Hamas and Gaza. You see it with the agenda of
Mandami in New York, who wants radical redistribution and his
quest for you know, Marxism and Castro style communism. That's

(02:13):
what we you know, what's going on with them, And
they don't even seem to realize that the GOP the
Republicans don't have to be perfect to win in November,
in the in the next midterm election. They just have
to be more appealing than the alternative. It's like that

(02:36):
that saying that goes if you know you're being chased
by a bear with your friend. I don't have to
outrun the bear. I just have to outrun my friend.
And that's the same thing here. The Republicans just have
to have a little more appeal in the Democrats and
the Democratic Party in their psychotic, knee jerk hatred of

(02:57):
everything President Trump stands for and everything he does. Every
policy he puts forth, whether it's successful or not, keeps them,
you know, looking uglier, nastier, and more unhinged. And I
think it's going to be the death of them. I
think that is what is eventually going to kill them.
So it that is my question for you. Have they

(03:21):
gone too far? Are they actually looking at extinction as
opposed to just a trouncing in the next election. Now,
some Democrats have sounded the alarm about what's happening, people
like Barack Obama. You know, he's told members of his
party to tough enough. He was mocking what he called
the fetal position mentality regarding the Democrats, and he told

(03:44):
them to stop whining and to get their act together.
And I don't know if that's effective or not, because
you know, Democrats don't like being told that they're whining
when they bitch about anything. But compare Trump I mean,
compare Obama, who is is you know, one of the elders,
one of the leaders of the Democratic Party and telling

(04:07):
his people to toughen up and stop whining to the
Republican Party and President Trump's accomplishments. You know, think about it.
The illegals are gone. You know. Trump has literally destroyed
the corporate media with his lawsuits that he is winning.
You know, he sued CBS and NBC, forcing them to
pay huge indemnities for defaming him. You know, you've got

(04:31):
MSNBC laying people off, and you've got you know, late
night talk show hosts unable to bring in the advertising
dollars to be self sustaining anymore. Newspapers are moving to
the right, even the Washington Post. Jeff Bezos on Washington Post.
You know, you have editors quitting because they don't like
the fact they had to be in the middle and fair.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Planned parenthood is closing across the country. The big beautiful
Bill is bringing in, you know, big beautiful wins.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Trump prompt and delivered to take out the nuclear capabilities
of Iran. He's pushing through the best trade deals, ending
their ripoffs from the bad trade deals that we've had
all of this is what he promised. He promised that
he was going to when and and that's what he
is doing. He's winning. So you look at what he's

(05:22):
accomplished and the environment that we're in, and things are
getting better. They're not perfect, but they're getting better. They're
heading that way. And then you look at the leaders
of the Democratic Party and what they represent and what
their accomplishments are, and it's it's it's it's just gobsmacking
the difference between the two. Let's take a few examples.

(05:45):
Corey Booker, you know, he had this famous moment on
where he filibuster sort of a philibuster. Didn't stop anything
on the floor, but it was just him up talking
for hours. And what does he do when he's up there,
Corey Booker actually spending most of his time denigrating other
Democrats who are trying to work with Trump. Cut number

(06:07):
fifty one, please, Mike.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
This to me is the problem with Democrats in America
right now is we're willing to be complicit to Donald
Trump to let this pass through when we have all
the leverage right now there is to say. If you're
as passionate about police as we are then past bills
out of this body that will help the police officers

(06:32):
in Washington. They will help the police officers in Illinois.
They will help the police officers in New Jersey. They
will help the police officers. Know it, don't be complicit
to the President of the United States, who we both
know doesn't understand that language. Oh please, oh please, don't
hurt blue states.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Really, I think he was doing his best to make
sure all the states against the blue states that hurt
the Blue states. To be honest with you, but he's
denigrating members of party who are like, all right, let's
work together and see if we can fix this stuff.
That's bad according to Corey Booker. You know, I mean,
that's a bad thing. Since when is compromise, Since when

(07:12):
is getting on board a winning policy, something that's going
to actually benefit your constituents a bad thing? Well, in
Corey Booker's world, it's a bad thing. This is Sandy
Shack sitting in for Jeff Kooner here on the Kooner Report.
We're talking about President Trump's successes and how the Democrat
response to his winning techniques has and policies has drawn

(07:38):
the Dems into insanity to the point where they are
destroying themselves. And before the break, I played for you
one of the shining leaders of the Democratic Party, Corey Booker,
the Senator from New Jersey, who turned on fellow Democrats
on the floor of the Senate against anybody who would

(08:00):
consider working with the GOP and Donald Trump. I mean,
that's the way to put the American people first, right
to if something's working for whatever you do, don't help
with them. Then We've also got another example is House
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. He appears to be the leading
citizen of you know, the county of Denial when he

(08:22):
gets out there, because he seems to think that the
that the electorate, that the American people didn't vote to
deport illegals cut fifty A fifty A five zero, a.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
Overly aggressive behavior that we've seen, you know, from ice
from the Department of Homeland Security. It's not what the
American people actually, in my view, voted for. Donald Trump
and Republicans promised to go after violent felons, but instead
they're going after law abiding families.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Yeah, no, they're not going after here. We discussed this before,
and Tom Homan has explained this many times. If there's
a violent criminal, illegal alien, you know, with a record,
hiding with a bunch of other illegal aliens who don't
have records. They're all going so you because they're all
there illegally. They're all breaking the law, but they're not
going out and seeking you know, families and people with

(09:23):
no records. But if they come across them, they're taking them.
That's that's basically what he said. So you know, that's
a complete you know, we're deliberately ignoring what the American
electric voted for. There. Then we've got Nancy Pelosi, former speaker,
and she went on CNN with Jake Tapper and guess

(09:43):
what it looks like there might be an investigation launching
about insider training, and she's not really happy about being
asked about it. Cut fifty three.

Speaker 6 (09:51):
Please, President Trump mentioned you, and he made an allegation
about your investments. So I want to roll that clip
and then give you a chance to respond. Seem to
be having some sort of Yeah, let me just read
what he said. I'm sorry that we had some sort
of techniclisi Nancy Pelos who.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Became rich, I might have to read that. We're here
to talk about the sixtieth anniversary of Medicaid. That's what
I agreed to come to talk.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, but I wanted to that means.

Speaker 6 (10:19):
In the election, I wanted to give you a chances
to respond. He accused you of insider trading. What's your
response to that.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
That's very ridiculous. In fact, I very much support the
stop the trading of members of Congress, not that I
think anybody's doing anything wrong. If they are, they are
prosecuted and they.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Go to Yeah, well that's what the new law will be.
They will go to jail. I think they should in
fact stop that. But she looks sound a little nervous
to me. Did she sound nervous to you? So there's
another one of our moral democratic leaders. I don't want
to even talk about Joe Biden's presence at the ABA
gala the other night, because, to be honest with you,

(10:58):
I thought it was elder abuse and he is no longer.
I don't know anybody who thinks of Joe Biden as
a leader of the Democratic Party anymore. I mean, he's
his his memoirs. When the bidding went out came back in,
he got maybe one tenth of what what past presidents
are going to get. Because nobody. Everybody knows he can't

(11:19):
write it. It's going to be somebody else writing it.
And that brings us to probably somebody that he would
think of as that is really kind of the head
of the Democratic Party right now, and that's the former
vice president, you know, the woman who who basically lost
to Trump, Kamala Harris. And when she was asked to
name the democra the leader of the Democratic Party, when

(11:41):
she went on with Stephen Colbert, couldn't think of a name.
Cut one oh nine.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
You're no longer you know, you're not running for office
right now, you're stepping away from that life right now.
Who's leading the Democratic Party? I'm just curious.

Speaker 7 (11:57):
There are lots of leaders and it was generally.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
All leaders of the Democratic Party, you know, like, oh,
that's the leader Donative Party.

Speaker 7 (12:03):
Who comes to mind. I think there are a lot
of I'm not going to go through names because then
I'm going to leave somebody out and then I'm going
to hear about it. But let me just let me
say this. I think it is a mistake for us
who want to figure out how to get out and
through this and get out of it, to put it

(12:25):
on the shoulders of any one person. It's really on
all of our shoulders. It really is.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
It's on all of our shoulders. That's what we call
a word salad. Even that somebody who you would think
is the leader of the Democratic Party, the most highest,
highly visible outside of President Obama, who's telling people to
stop being in the fetal position, she would be it.
And she can't name. She didn't say me, she didn't
say him, she didn't say anybody. Because there is no

(12:54):
leader of the Democratic Party right now. And to me,
that's that's a death now for the Democratic Party. I
see nobody who can pick up the mantle and run.
And to me, that means that either there's going to
be a new party coming out, or there's going to
be a complete resurgence of the Democratic Party. It's going
to reform under and under something else. But I think

(13:16):
the Democratic Party as we know it is going to
be extinct. What do you think, Robert Maine.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
You're on the Okay, this one's kind of old.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yes, I can hear you. Just find Robert, thank you.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Listen. First of all, let me say that the number
of people that really appreciate what you and Mike and
your talented screeners do on on just platform is appreciated
by a lot more people than you probably have agined.
But thanks so much for what you do. And the
other thing is, you know, especially like the way you

(13:53):
present your your your data. It's it's one piece of
data after And the nice thing about it, though, is
that it's accompanied by what's called common sense. Too many
research papers and by saying, well, whoa, we need more
research on this topic, by the way, i e. Fund
more of what we're doing, but very little common sense,

(14:16):
which is really a real shortcoming of scientific publications. Well,
let me get out to my main topic. You know,
we look at these democrats. Remember you've probably seen people
at a park trainer and you use the word psychotic,
and I wouldn't disagree, but a sidrome that won't be named,
But there is this syndrome out there, and it's athlete

(14:36):
demonstrated by their behavior. You know, when somebody comes into
the clinic and stop saying, there are space people outside
with ray guns and I know them, I've seen them.
You know, the first thing that comes to mind is
this is a psychosis, perhaps a paranoid psychosis. And I
think that the sidrome we're talking about, perhaps even a

(15:00):
little bit on both sides. One side more than the
other needs to be scientifically investigated to try to understand
the cause or ideology of it. It's so striking, and
then lead toward treatments and possibly prevention, because it really
and truly is a very, very severe syndrome. And you

(15:21):
just played several cuts of these people, supposedly leaders of
the Democratic Party, aptly demonstrating it. I go to a
meeting here that I was started by somebody on the
right to try to get people together talking reasonably to
each other. And the last meeting we had interesting He
asked the question of two people in the audience. In

(15:43):
the group, I should say, it's not an audience, and
he asked the question. He said what he said, you know,
if I stop presenting some evidence to you, can we
sit down and talk about it rationally. And one person
who's somewhat reasonable on the left said, yeah, sure, as
long as it's not hurt anybody. He asked the same
question to somebody that's really, really really has a real

(16:05):
problem with this syndrome, and his answer was a very
different His answer was, I threw it right back at
your and he used a few bad words.

Speaker 8 (16:12):
Oh, face.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So my point is it's reached more
than sydrobic value. I think it elevates itself to the
status of an illness or a disease. But in order
to claim that, you have to do some studies. And
I'm thinking about that from my background in medicine and epiddiology.
So I'm going to send you a text because there's
more to discuss, but I don't think it's appropriate on

(16:35):
the air. But anyway, thanks for all that you guys
are doing. And it really is more than the sidrome.
I think it's approaching disease status.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
I don't disagree with you, Robert. I'd be interested to
see what you find when you do research or a
study on this, so because I don't disagree that it
has because it defies rational thought. I mean, if what
you're trying to do is help people, how does this
help anybody? Is this a Sandy Shack sitting in for
Jeff Cooner here on the Kooner Report, The Democrat Party

(17:05):
is leaderless and spinning around, like do you remember that cartoon?
I don't remember if it was Warner Brothers or somebody
else that the Tasmanian Devil, you know, just spinning, spinning around,
just doing damage everywhere he went. That's the Democratic Party
right now, denying stats, saying up is down, down is up,

(17:26):
and eating their own Basically, can they survive President Trump's successes?
Let's go to Donald N. Nashua. Donald, Welcome to WRKO.

Speaker 8 (17:38):
Hi, good morning, Sandy, Thanks for taking my call.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
You're welcome.

Speaker 8 (17:43):
I first of all, great show, great conversations. Really enjoyed
listening to you, your thoughts and listeners. I just want
to say, at the last in November the presidential election,
a lot of my Democratic friends voted for Trump, not
liking him in their own you know, a lot of

(18:03):
them didn't not like him, but they could not trust
Kamala Harris to run the country.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Well, Donald, it was just like I was saying before,
you don't have to run faster than the bear. You
just have to run faster than the front next to you.

Speaker 8 (18:17):
True. And their accountability right, the buzzword around Washington, you know,
the past couple of weeks with you know, the Russian
hoaks and everything. The problem is that they have lost
their trust with the American people. And both parties work
for the Americans, right, Both the Republican teams Democrats, America

(18:38):
comes first, not your party.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
That's the series.

Speaker 8 (18:40):
Yeah, yeah, And unfortunately, I think until we get someone
like a Tip O'Neil or some two of the leaders
got to get together and say, look, we've got to
start working together. This is nonsense. We're not getting anything accomplished,
no matter what the Republicans you know, proposed as a
bill and shut down Democrats and vice versa. And that's

(19:02):
not working together.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
No, no, it's not working together. You know back when when, back,
you know, thirty forty years ago, when you still had
you know, you had Reagan in the White House, you
had you know, Tip O'Neil in the House. But they
worked together, you know, they were they worked together, and
and that was true right up even through Clinton. I

(19:25):
think the Clinton is when it started to change and
it became more polar and it became more a badge
of honor not to work with opposing counsel are opposing
the opposing party, and to the detriment of all of us.
I think Donald, I think it's it's what we started

(19:47):
to get these these log jams, and it became, you know,
you have like six months before you have to start
campaigning for the midterms, and you have six months to
get stuff done, and then it doesn't get done because
the campaignings starts all over again. So I think I
think your observation is spot on in regard to the
lack of cooperation. Now, what what do you think is

(20:09):
going to happen to the Democratic Party since they were
using to debt to cooperate basically with with the Republicans
at this point.

Speaker 8 (20:17):
Well, my opinion is that it's not going to get
any better until they are accountable for some of the
things that have happened and take take a different stance,
take a different outlook, that the people come first. If
they promote AOC to be the next presidential campaign, if

(20:40):
she's the top runner they have, well congratulations, advance on
your next presidency.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah it could be AOC, it could be Jasmine Crockett.
Or what about in New York. You've got Mom Donnie.
You know who doesn't want to get rid of private property?
You know? So, I mean that's who's I don't think
that this version of the Democratic Party, with these people
and the in the front of it, I wouldn't call
any of them a leader, but they're they're the most
visible at the moment is unsustainable. I don't see. I

(21:11):
think I think it goes to the reason why, uh,
the last election was heavily Republican, and that is the
point that you brought up. It's I I don't like
the Republicans or the Democrats, but I like the Democrats
a little bit less. So I'm going to vote Republican.
I think that's what's happening. And I think that that difference,

(21:33):
that disparity, if you look at the Wall Street Journal
poll and other polls, is getting wider and wider and wider,
and fewer and fewer people can sign on to the
Democratic Party. So thank you for the call. Donald, I
appreciate it very much. Let's go to Jim in Natick. Jim,
welcome to w RKO. How are you, sir?

Speaker 9 (21:49):
Thank you for taking my call. Mine's mind's on overhead
their housekeeping call. I haven't a little bit confused. It
seems like a lot of people comment about the Democratic Party,
and I think it's really the Democrat Party, right diary. Sure, Okay, okay,

(22:10):
I just call everybody up because of it.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I don't have a problem with that. Is that all
you wanted to say?

Speaker 9 (22:14):
That's it?

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Okay, well, thank you so much, Jim. I appreciate you're
absolutely correct. It is the Democrat Party. Let's see if
we can squeeze in Joe from Plymouth. Joe, welcome to
w RKO.

Speaker 10 (22:25):
Oh go minding seeing the Yes. Absolutely, there's no leader
in the Democratic Party and constitutionally we can these Democrats.
I'm upholding them. Oh, they took when they took office.
There should be a way, not just to impeach them
by removing them one by one. Maybe maybe we've been

(22:47):
doing him bunches.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Well, I understand why you're saying that, Joe, But you
can't impeach people because you know you don't like their
stand on something. They've got to do something basically criminal
and and disagreeing is not treason, is It's just disagreeing
