Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your morning show with Michael dil Chuno.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
All right, let's do live radio shot. We David Zanadi
as our senior contributor. He's also host of the Public Square,
heard on two hundred stations, presides over high voters. Pretty
remarkable day yesterday of activity. The president with a slew
of executive order actions, including some before twenty thousand fans
in an arena.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Never thought I would see that, freezing.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
All government hiring, ordering federal workers back to the office
full time, signing an executive order aimed at tackling the
TikTok ban an energy crisis, to drill baby drill, withdrawing
from the World Health Organization, even an executive order to
part in fifteen hundred people convicted in the January sixth riots.

(00:48):
We always wonder when presidents are elected, will they keep
their promises?

Speaker 3 (00:51):
This guy did day one.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
He started immediately, well, a great start, and of course
he had executive orders on both immigration, on the border,
and on energy as well. So that's good, Mike. We've
been saying this for a long time now that the
next two years will determine the next twelve and you
can't ask a president to get off to a hotter
start than Donald Trump did, and of course, first off,

(01:13):
in a historical perspective, it was a very hot start
no matter who you compare him to.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
It particularly looks a contrast.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
We've had, in contrast, a president who's been incapacitated for
the last five years and hidden. And I think that's
the thing that we have to remember. So now, as
far as to be objective, how do you be objective
over something that happens every four years and we forget
most of what happened when we're watching it again. It's
like every time's new, I'm always in for less Donald Trump,

(01:47):
not more. His speech was twice as long this time
as last time. It still wasn't too long. It was
just too long for Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
The other things that we have to understand is that
Donald Trump is is in. It will be the best
thing that ever happens to the radicalized secular journalist press.
He fills their coffers and he knows it. I mean,
CNN and MSNBC was back in business. The New York

(02:14):
Times in the Atlantic were singing.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Like can Ari's Unfortunately, nobody's reading, nobody's listening, nobody's watching.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
Well, the thirty nine percent that don't like Trump, those
that do read, those that do watch will come over.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Now.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Their ratings were good during the first Trump administration, their
ratings will get better.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
If Donald Trump has true victory and true legacy, he
won't just put some of them out of business. He'll
reshape their worldview. I can tell you right now, and
it's only January twenty first, twenty twenty five. He's in office,
and they're falling off a cliff. Now, if he leaves
office and he disproves all their policy views and worldviews,

(02:57):
they have to reinvent themselves to have a future. I
don't think I don't think they can set this out
for four years and then just come back with a
strong personality.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I don't think it's gonna be that simple.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Not after failing so dramatically and then having it turned
around immediately so dramatically. They'll start connecting the dots that
we got more than just a partisan politic problem.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
We got a worldview and a policy problem.

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Well, they're bleeding will stop for the next four years
just because they're segmented so small now that their coffers
will will rise.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
They're at the absolute bottom.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Now he'll fill their coffers just because the Trump haters
will will will have to go somewhere. They'll need somebody
to talk to, So they'll be back at MSNBC, They'll
be back at See and then and the big moguls
know all that. But the difference is this time. What
you're talking about is the thought process of the left.
Where is that thought process? You know that thought process?

(03:53):
And the left always included those techies on their side
of the fence. Yeah, they're not there, not there. And
the thing that no one's talked about yet is what
are the reasons? You know, these people have not all had.
I wish they would, for all of us, a dramatic
spiritual conversion. I think that maybe they have, maybe they haven't,
But I know one thing. Their personal interests are still

(04:14):
very real. And they need power. I understand something, and
I'm talking about actual literal power. They need electricity to
proceed into the next four years, for AI to work.
They have to be able to build their own nuclear
power plants. They need a friendly relationship with the UN.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Can you think at any time in history where a
party had to change its platform and priority? Look at
the Democrats for decades and I don't like to play
with Republican versus Democrats. I just do right versus wrong.
But I can make political observations. The Democrat Party has
majored in minors, that's what they've been doing. Poll after poll.
What's the major economy? Stupid? They even forgot that this time.

(04:52):
The border, national security, putting America first, on and on
and out. Then you get to things like you know,
global warming or climate change, and it's always last and
if you ever attach a change to it.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
The American people that just aren't interested the same thing.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
The whole world isn't walking around obsessed with sexuality and gender.
They've always majored in minors and minored in majors, and
now it's blown up in their face in such a
memorable and impossible to miss.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Wagh. Don't they have to go back?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
And have they ever in the past gone back and
had to kind of realign their platform and priorities and narrative.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh, no doubt.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Now there's different divisions as far as their media division goes.
They'll be happy to survive on what Trump gives them
in the anti Trump movement, they'll get by. The bigger,
broader question is what is Podesta, Soros and the true
people that are controlling the thought agenda of the progressive
left and their academics.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
What are they going to do?

Speaker 4 (05:51):
And right now, you're right, all they can do, as
they exhibited this morning, is look for the most nuanced catch.
All they can play now is got you politics and
hope for the next year that Donald Trump falls flat
on his face.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
How are you coming back? And it's not even four years.
You got a midterm in two years that will start
rolling out in less than a year, and then two
years after that you got a general election, and you're
going to come back with transgendered LGBTQ, open borders and
embracing immigrants and electric car How do you go back

(06:32):
to that? It's an excellent question.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
The other side now, as far as the leftist concern,
has to make a big mistake.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
So what would that mistake be. Mistake would be too
much Trump.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
And here's what I mean by that, it's within two
years we have to have Trump three point zero for
that movement to move forward. In other words, within two years,
Donald Trump has got to be setting up his departure
and his handoffs.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
But I saw in the speech yesterday the first speech
was about him the savior for out of control and failed,
proven failed government. And I, as an outsider and a businessman,
have put my fortune and my business is on hold
to save this country for you and make America great again.
This time, it wasn't God saved me to make America

(07:17):
great again, and you all put me here and I'm
here to serve what you put me here to do.
There it is it was far more about us than
him this time. I think that's the beginning of the handoff.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Well, I don't think there's any question that if it
continues to go in that direction.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
You're right, that can be accomplished.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Now they still have wes Moore, who could this could
be a play somebody like a wes Moore who's charismatic,
go ahead and sell their platform, Go ahead and sell
their ideas and the continuation of their ideas, and be
a more embraceable personality than whether it's and I think

(07:55):
jad Bants would be in the driver's seat, but there
are others and who he pairs himself with would be
huge to try to get back in. But if you
try to do it by issue, where do they go?
I've seen their platform. Well, unless they completely change their worldview.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
The subtext of this whole conversation is when you talked
about majoring on miners, that's because their entire approach was tribalism.
Split America based on envy into small pocket groups, and
then at election time, bring all those groups together and
see if that reaches fifty one.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Per And today that's dead. Will it be back alive
again in four years?

Speaker 3 (08:28):
That's it? And it's see what once that dies?

Speaker 4 (08:30):
It's the likelihood of resurrectoring it without somebody else making
a massive scandalous mistake.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Very slim.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
I guess we see this with Prince William's kids, or
I guess Prince Charles kids, we would start to that.
I think I think the world kind of gravitates to
William over Harry and YadA, YadA YadA for his outspoken
as don Trump that.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
You pay attention all that and keep it all right
in your head.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, because I'm watching the Trumps and I'm wondering, Okay,
Donald Junior seems like the play but he's Sonny and
the godfather.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
The middle brother's wife, Yes, the middle brother's wife is
the superstar. I don't know what her future is. She
ran the Republican Party all the way to victory. I'm
just sitting staring at this whole thing. And you know,
we had Bush and then we had w Bush. If
there's another Trump coming, am I the only one that

(09:25):
left yesterday thinking it might be Barren?

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Sure, but there's something about that kid. He's a nick.
I'm telling you there's something. There's something about that kid.
It's going to follow in this line of thinking.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
However, we got to ask us, I still want Italian
and you haven't brought into the equation. There's a guy
in Florida named DeSantis who's gonna work.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, uh well you got DeSantis. You got Marco Ruby.
By the way, uh pasted unanimously Club of one hundred.
You want to make a comment about that. They never
turn on themselves, do they? But Hegsath and others, Christy
Nome all moved forward out of committee. I would just
done with this in the form of a question, although
I I'll give you my answer. Do you think that

(10:05):
Donald Trump's not can get his full cabinet? Because I
think it's all but obvious he is, even hegcept No.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
I think that's I think it's pretty much a foregone
conclusion right now. I thought, you're going up.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
The most important question of the day is that everybody
noticed how Donald Trump had changed his tie. Was it blue?
Was it red?

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Was it purple? It was purple? Unity is behind purple?
Was unity? Right? There? You go? I guess what you.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Make of Malania's hat. I thought it was weird. I
thought she kind of looked sometimes she's like an assassin.
Sometimes she's like a little marching soldier.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
I don't know. I didn't get it.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Look, she's amazing, she is stunning. She is unto herself.
And I have nothing to say but that's she's.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Way out of my league. And I get it.

Speaker 4 (10:44):
And however, I and I do not like Jimmy Fallon anymore.
I used to like him a lot, but boy, he
had a lot of funny lines that got reported today.
He said that hat reminded him of the old spy
versus Spy guy in in Mad magazine.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
He got me on that one. Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
There were several visuals that the Burger mice. I know,
it was a remarkable day we started the show. I
want to end it kind of with you anyway. This portion,
I asked Red, can you what would you describe yesterday
in one word, because I was going to make that
our question in the talk back, and I think he
went with whirlwind. I went with triumphant, but then I

(11:20):
couldn't hold there.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
I had to say bold and busy. Uh.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Jeffrey chose two words Daddy's home, and then played the
song what would be your one word description of yesterday?

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Mmm? Melancholy? Really yeah, explain in ten seconds or less.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
There's been a lot of pain that's gone before us,
and I'm not sure we can get out of it.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
As quickly as mister Trump would hope.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
David Zanatti with the American Policy Roundtable, hosts of The
Public Square, and our senior contributor, Thanks so much for your.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Time, miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot,
and we'll miss you. It's your morning show with Michael
del Chruerno
