Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your morning show with Michael Tilchoano.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
All right, so who's going to be the speaker? That's
a good question.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Tight squeeze, Well, Fox has the big headline up battle
for the cavil Is this hyper? Is it really this tight?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We don't know. We truly don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
We don't know it, And chances are very good that
it's hype because we're now in the pragmatic zone, Michael,
We're now in the work zone. It's now time for
people who actually know what a hard hat is and
how a tool belt works in regards to the way
that our civil government operates to get to work. And
they are at work today. They'll elect a speaker on Monday,
(00:39):
they'll approve the electoral College. By the time we get
to the twentieth, they'll already be in full swing. And
so it's business time. And so what usually happens is
the media goes away and covers football games and retail stories.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Everybody else just goes.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Away back to living their life, and then two years
from now the politicians and show back up and explain
to us why they need to be reelected.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
And since we haven't been.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Paying any attention, we have no grid by which to
judge their claims.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
We did.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
We did a long story this morning and it boiled
down to the lesson of we don't fail them like
because we don't know what to do. We usually fail
because we don't do what we know. So here's James Carvell,
who coined the phrase it's the economy stupid, admitting he
was wrong about Kamala Harris. I thought she would win
in the end she didn't. And in the end it
(01:32):
just goes to prove it's the economy stupid. And I'm thinking,
here's the guy that coined the phrase. But they get
their eyes off of all of this and on the
narratives to the point where they believe them that they
you know. So I'm following this story and I'm seeing
one and I think it's a pretty compelling case to make.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
There's nobody else looming.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
There isn't like another choice out there, and Donald Trump
didn't lose, he won, so there's no need for the
trump Ism far right grand standards. I mean, everything's in line. Yeah,
it's going to be tight. They've got one no for sure,
and they don't have much margin for error. But I
don't see them having a problem getting the vote through today.
And that's just keeping my eyes on the ball rather
(02:14):
than the narrative or the hype. And so to me,
unless you want to gluy yourself right before you're marching
into leadership, I just can't fathom even Republicans could be
this stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, and if there's going to be a change, fine,
there's going to be a change. Who cares. It's time
to get down to business.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
We don't have time to mess around with this stuff
because now the people there's been a significant change, and
it's go time, it's work time, and so you have
to figure out somebody's got to hold that gabble. Somebody's
got to run the trains. This guy's doing it. We
got the own reason.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And if you change him, fine, it's going to be
the next guy or the next gal. Just move on
with it, and.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Whoever it is, get it done today, right, Just get
it done or done this weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I guess you would have the rest of that weekend
to do it one more job. But what's really important
now is, and I hope this is the truth. Everywhere.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
People hear you, everywhere, people hear us in the public square, everywhere.
People here who care and I know Michael Left of
this election people care more than they've ever heard. Is
that we can't go to sleep now. We have to
remember who it was we voted for, and we have
to stay in touch with that people. Number one, how
do they stay in touch to pray for him? Pray
(03:25):
for him?
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Number two, you don't have to stalk him, you don't
have to hound them. You don't have to.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Start a legislative office in your kitchen table. You just
need to stay paying attention to the issues that are happening,
and every now and then reach out with a text,
with a phone call and let them know you are there.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
That changes the climate completely. So this may take sixty
seconds to do, but it's worth doing. My mom had
a friend. Now I'm a teenager, so I'm I'm into dating.
It's whatever now or then I'm confused, what do you mean? No,
this is when I was a kid, So don't be
a wise guy. So I mean, I'm thinking I'm either
(04:04):
in football season, basketball season, baseball season, you know, and dating.
So I'm not thinking about anything really other than that.
And my mom had this one friend and it was
the only friend or the only person in my life
I had ever been exposed to that was like into politics,
and she would sit at the table I wrote Congress
Mento's en today and did all this stuff, and it
just seems so boring and so obsessive and overpassionate and
(04:30):
weird to me. And yet you know, and now, she
was one in a childhood, one in a lifetime, and
she should have been the norm. How much do members
of Congress to this day make decisions or gauge things
with confidence and courage based on feedback? How important is
(04:51):
it still today?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
We've been doing this for an entire lifetime, forty five
years in service at the American Policy around label. It
doesn't matter when we go to Capitol Hill or what
state legislature we're working with.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
We find the same thing.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
The people who run the offices for the members, which
basically run the business of the day, watch every single
day who's calling and who's writing. And when they get
ten letters or ten phone calls on a subject, the
first thing they tell their people is find out what
that is and who's behind it, because they know that
(05:23):
they cannot get out of touch completely. The member is
now busy dealing with the colleagues on the floor and
dealing with the lobbyists at the events and all the
blah blah blah, dealing with the media.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
The chiefs of.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Staff have to keep this office grounded, and that's who
you're talking to, and that's who the member turns back
to at the end of the day and says, what's
going on out there.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
So we have all this noise chatter, whether it's X
formally Twitter, whether it's Fox, CNN, MSNBC. We just saw
an entire presidential race misgauge this. They were focused on
their own narrative echoing back at them through legacy media
that was dead and they didn't realize it yet. And
(06:05):
Donald Trump wins the election digitally and on podcasts and
so on. So are you suggesting that they're not just
taking their cues from Twitter and what's viral that a
good old fashioned text call is far more valuable.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
This is such a secret it ought to be banned
from radio.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I'm telling you, this is the reality.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You were talking about. Carville.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Carvill defines reality for the Democrats. Francis Schaeffer used to
say this, we're all mugged by reality, right. It's not
the economy, stupid, it's reality. Well, ignorance is blistool consequence arives.
That's the we haven't changed reality. And the reality of
elected office is this. If one hundred people in a
state legislative office, if one hundred and fifty people in
(06:52):
a congressional office continually politely engage with that office on
issues they care of, those people are noticed big time.
It changes the atmosphere and the culture in that office.
You have far more power than we have, farmer harder
than we realize. So how many of us like you know?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Because when this happens, I can tell you that the
twenty three year old in New York City, he's standing
there stalking. The train is coming.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
At the last minute.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
He just pushes this guy in front of the train
and people are just standing around. Or worse, we see
this crime after crime after crime. They're just filming rather
than doing anything. We could be guilty of that. Right,
we're sitting here having a conversation about who the next
speaker is going to be. And did it dawn on
any of us to call a representative today?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I mean so obvious that conservatives are great for this.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
We are super great at getting exercised in major elections,
and then for four years disappearing and they go on
and do whatever it is they want to do. You
know when you've got someone who you know is new
in the house, and we went up a couple of
years ago, but two thousand and ten there's a big
sweep in the house.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
We went up.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
When we interviewed a dozen of the brand new members,
you can't believe. It's like going to a donut shop.
It is so organic when it first gets started. And
if they could just stay in that mode, you'd be
amazed how the climate would change.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Miss a little, miss a lot, and we'll miss you.
It's your morning show with Michael del Chno.
