Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on Your Morning show with Michael dil.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Jono, David's and I. He's with the American Policy Roundtable.
He is the co host of the Public Square. He's
also presides over I Voters. David, what do you make
of the games? First of all, we don't even know
if Joe Biden's been president. I presume he hasn't been.
So who's never been president is doing all this nonsense?
(00:25):
But they continue to ignore the will of the American people.
What might be the greater cost for them if they
continue to play this game?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Well, this is such a weird time, isn't it. I
mean weird slash beautiful.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
There's something different in the air.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Half the nation is coughing and hacking in the largest
state in the Union is running from the fires. What
a strange set of headlines today. And then there's Zuckerberg, who,
listening to his voice alone is like taking too big
of a spoonful of the sweetest breakfast through you can
imagine warm milk.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Take your time, because we're gonna dress Zuckerberg in full
coming up. But let's just put to rest if they
want to see when he got into certain things yesterday,
I was like don't go there. Remember when I said
it this way and again, Donald Trump is Donald Trump.
I'm a nobody, but I would think, you don't need
to keep campaigning, you don't need to keep fighting fights.
(01:21):
You'll want just get in and govern. And when you
get into some of these side top and they come
up mostly during questions, which is then unfairly twisted and
used against him, you get off topic. I would be
laser focused on the border in the economy, and I
would just start acting and not even comment on what
these morons are doing because everybody sees it and gets
it already.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
You know that makes me wonder, Michael, I don't have
an answer for this. It's an honest question without an
answer prescripted. I think sometimes he just enjoys messing with
the press, and so he's got a group of people
that are focused, laser focused on what they're going to do,
and instead of walking down that path with the media,
(02:01):
he's going to go ahead and just talk with him
about what's on his mind and let them chase every
rabbit that he sets up while he gets his job.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
And there could be stress and there could be brilliance
to that. Don't get me wrong. You know, and that
leads right into the Zuckerberg conversation because it's and that's
why I probably shouldn't have, but I used the devil
as an analogy Donald Trump. Donald Trump's already won. The
media is already defeated. Now I understand they made his
life a living hell. Government officials, government agencies all the
(02:30):
way to an assassination attempt, fanning those flames, the media,
controlling the narrative, social media, you know, silencing any opposition voices.
I'm sure there's a temptation for Donald Trump to have
a lot of what would be the expression that be
most appropriate, unfinished business scores to settle. That would eat
at him, but it'd be wasted time because he doesn't
(02:52):
know it, or maybe he does. You defeated the mainstream media,
you defeated the internet. And I don't mean you because
you won another four years in a presidency. You turn
down the light switch, along with Elon Musk and others,
and the truth has been seen and it can't be unseen.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
They have no ratings, they have no revenue, they have
no influence. They're not even dead anymore. They're decomposing. They're
rotting as a corpse. I don't think you need to
spend any time addressing that, especially with the majority of
the American people and the mandate they've given him. But
I could be wrong.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
No, I think You've got a very good point there.
And I'm gonna go back to Zuckerberg for just a second, and.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, slips are moving, trust me, he's not done and
he's still lying.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Well, the premise of all of it is, as you
mentioned earlier. I don't know if people here when you
talk about when Zuckerberg talks about returning to his roots,
if we're going to return to the roots of Facebook,
then we better go back to the dorm rooms at
Harvard where he was bullying women who wouldn't go out
with him and traded Facebook as a rating system to
(03:53):
crush them. In regards to a perfection culture.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Even the left, who likes to rewrite history and rewrite
reality daily, had to begin their movie with that. Yeah,
that was the motivation. The central them in that whole
movie was not the technology that changed our lives, but
his obsession in his life and trying to strike back
at a girl who rejected him. Well, the movie begins
(04:20):
there and ends there.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Do you remember this, and you captured that one great
line of it, and you were doing this while you
should have been doing what the But the second piece
of all of that is the introduction into our culture
of the digital methodology of turning humans into products. And
(04:42):
we missed all that. When everyone came out, I can
remember pastors lecturing us on the power of using the
now free opportunities.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
We don't have to buy radio time anymore, we don't
have to buy television time anymore. We can just get
on Facebook.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Because you know, we don't have to print bulletins anymore.
We can do all of this stuff and the count.
It took us a while to finally realize that while
we were doing that, we were making Mark Zuckerberg the
youngest richest multi billionaire in the history of the planet,
because we were delivering over to him all of our data,
which he was then turning around and marketing brilliantly at
wonderful and extraordinary profitability. But it hasn't stopped there. Google's
(05:21):
doing the same thing right now. The whole world is
running after YouTube as if it is the great deliverance. Well,
the fact of the matter is, look at YouTube makes
me crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Now I'm not the next man it doesn't take long
before it becomes next demon up right, wow wow, yeah,
on that we can just dismount. Right, let's go where
where are my thick glasses? Like the gymnast? All right?
So for Zuckerberg, and I would say this much is true.
I don't think he was ever really driven by greed
(05:55):
and money. He was driven by acceptance from women, and
one woman in particular. But don't be misled by that.
He doesn't have personal interest in the wealth, but he
likes to use his wealth to influence his worldview, a
worldview that I would suspect most listening to the show
this morning would find very anathetical to not only freedom
(06:17):
of speech, but all aspects of what we cherish and
is necessary in our intent as a republic. It's like yesterday,
I'm out of my back porch. Gosh, those are good
old days. That's when I used to be able to
breathe and smoke. Now I can't even breathe, and I'm
not a smoker. But you know, And we saw him
come into Ohio with millions and millions of dollars on
(06:37):
these ballot issues. He's been doing that ever since. He's
been trying to win and score elections along with George
Soros and other bad players, and doing it mostly with
his checkbook too, So make no mistake about how he's
using his wealth. Now, all the sudden he cares about
freedom of speech. Now, all the sudden he wants to
role model the devil himself, Elon Musk and the way
(06:59):
exis facts checking, And so it begs the question, do
we really think he releases that video yesterday if Donald
Trump had lost and Kamala Harris was about to be president, Well, yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Market has just gotten and walked away from him and
he's no longer a hero. And I think that's what
really bothers him is because what like everybody else, meet you,
everybody else, he's got an ego and he cares about
what people think about him. And suddenly, you know, it
was cute being It was cute being the guy wearing
the dark hat for a while. But now he's uncomfortable
with it now and I was back, We're back to
(07:30):
the emperor syndrome. We've got to return to our roots.
You know. Part of this, Michael, is a vengeance. Mentality
is a concept of certain people feel that they that
America owes them an answer and they have scores to
settle and they have to get even with the American reality.
But there's a bigger question here, and it's hard to
(07:51):
talk about in brief periods of time. It's even hard
to talk about if you got an hour. Yeah, And
that's the notion of why do we need this technology
in us? Makes us think that we need these digital
platforms where we can simply open up a computer screen,
say whatever we want and think we're significant.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Suddenly everybody's an anchor, everybody's a talkcoast, so everybody's a pastor,
everybody's a life coach. What they are insecure people very lonely,
not having real meaningful, fulfilled interaction with human beings as
God intended, and trying to fill it with an artificial source.
And just like those who try to use drugs to
(08:33):
fill it with an artificial source, it never fills up
a void that you were created to fill in a
different way. And it's a fool's chase, it really is.
I want to just end with this is I think
I would say, yes, this is a victory for free speech. Yes,
I think Facebook and Zuckerberg has been defeated. I think
he probably cares more about Instagram and AI and where
(08:55):
meta is headed than Facebook itself, which is now mostly
just old people posting memes. But should he be trusted? Wow,
unfair to put you in a judgment seat like that.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
But no, no, no, that's such a good question. That's
such a good question. I'm not even sure that it
requires an answer. The very fact we have to ask
it is the answer in and of itself.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
He hasn't given up his worldview, he hasn't given up
his ambitions for America in the world.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
We answer the question with a question, why should Mark
Zuckerberg be relevant to anyone's life, let alone the life
of our nation at all?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
And that's our dysfunction, not his. Yeah, we're visiting with Davidsonati.
I went through something. I'm gonna give a real short
version of this. There's John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan,
and then there's everybody else. I mean, there's just no
comparing Kennedy sixty eight percent net positive, Reagan thirty eight
net positive. Then Barack Obama's at twenty one percent, hw
Bush seven percent, Jimmy Carter's at six percent. Time has
(09:58):
been good to Jimmy Carter. Time Carter went from minus
thirty two when he left office to plus six now
at burial, and then Bill Clinton was at plus twenty
five when he left office. Now he's just at plus five.
Time has not been good to Bill Clinton. Donald Trump
time has been very good too. He left office minus
thirty two, re enters office at minus four. But Joe
(10:20):
Biden is headed to the bottom of the heap with
Richard Nixon as one of the worst presidents ever. He
starts at minus thirty five, and I don't believe time's
going to be kind to him. In fact, I think
it's going to prove that he wasn't even really president.
But what do you make of all these presidential ratings
and the interesting nature in which some are remembered through
time better than when they leave and the others vice versa.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Well, the fact that we're talking about it is helpful
because presidents do matter. Now, we've talked so many times
together a television and the legacy media has turned the
presidency into a side freak show, if you will, where
we really put way too much confidence, trust, etc. We've
been through all that. But look, I mean, I spent
much of last night studying the Van Buren administration, and
(11:07):
the life of John Quincy Adams, a former president who
went back to serve in the United States Congress and
died on the floor of the Capitol Building.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
John Quincy Adams one of the unsung heroes. Time is
not done hundreds of years. He'll continue to grow Washington.
Lincoln Kennedy, the first television president, and the mystery of
his death. Ronald Reagan, of course, was a revolution. Trump
will be a revolution. He'll ultimately craft his legacy with
the second term. Let's talk. I don't know if we
(11:37):
can do tomorrow, but if we can, can we do
that more tomorrow. I'd love to get into some of
these presidential legacies because I don't know why. It's so
hard to say, but Jimmy Carter was a terrible president.
He was a good man, and that's what America is
dealing with this week as he lays to rest. We'll
do more maybe tomorrow. David, thanks for your time, miss
a little.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Miss a lot, and we'll miss you. It's your morning
show with Michael del Churno.
