Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your Morning Show with Michael Del Choono Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Your mention of John Fetterman reminds me that I am
currently sending emails back and forth with my congressmen here
in northern California. He does not represent a single one
of my views. And in one of my last emails,
I let him know that I know I can't replace
him with the Republican but I could help a more
like John Fetterman, Democrat get in there.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
It's my goal right now. Isn't that amazing? Now?
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Listen, I don't know why you continue to run for
the United States Senate after a pretty severe stroke, and
he clearly wasn't better, And thank god, he has really
just gradually gotten better now. It hasn't impacted his fashion
all right, So he still walks around the United States
Senate in hoodies and warm ups.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
He's always comfortable. That much did not change.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
He always looks like he's getting out of spirit airlines flight,
doesn't he all right? But the mind certainly recovered and
the spirit is certainly more reasonable by necessity, maybe because
of you know, Pennsylvania. I don't know, but once again,
John Fetterman is the voice of reason within the Democrat Party.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
You really got to let that soak in.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
He weighed in on the decision that some of his
colleagues made to disrupt protest walk out of the president's
speech to a joint session of Congress, and his statement
was it was a sad cavalcade. I mean, first of all,
I didn't even know that John Fetterman used these kinds
(01:40):
of words.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Petiamens cavalcade pretty soon.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I think he's gonna show up dressed, you know, like
the Quaker oats guy with an English accent. For my
esteemed colleagues, your pechenence is unacceptable, shows some respect for
the president. But he's right, you're gonna hearing the sounds
(02:04):
of the day. This didn't even pass the sniff test
of the late night talk shows, and we mentioned this yesterday.
It's worth mentioning again when you leave a boardroom and
your strategies, we're going to hold up signs. I don't
know if I included it or not, but for Al Green,
the representative from Texas who was thrown out of the chamber,
(02:27):
ABC interviewed him afterwards, and you know he's sign about, well,
the cuts to medicare, Medicaid.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
You know, the guy from ABC's let him go.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I'm like, only ABC would allow this, but no, the
reporter from ABC goes, we know of no such plans
to cut Medicare or Medicaid.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Well, but he could, you know, just like.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I mean, I think if there's one thing that really
stood out in that speech, it was the president's determination
to help farmers, help the auto industry, to secure social
security for our elderly and the most vulnerable. I mean,
I don't see any signs that he's ultimately planning on
robbing Social Security or Medicaid. But this is the nonsense.
(03:10):
But when you start holding up paddles that say save
Medicaid when there's nobody trying to steal medicaid or elon
Steeles or whatever other nonsensical sign. In this day and
age of the internet, how many memes did you see
yesterday where people redid all the signs we're idiots or whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I mean, you just knew they would do that, didn't you.
But here's fetterman.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Sad cavalcade of self interest, unhinged petulance. It only made
the president look more presidential and more restrained. Now, the
most literal way to look at this, one of my
favorite stories is not just Wow, Thanks God for how
you've allowed John Fetterman to completely recover from a stroke.
(04:02):
Thank God for some sensible Democrats. But if he stands alone,
then he's a sensible Democrat and a very unreasonable platform,
perhaps even worldview challenged party. And he stands alone his
(04:26):
next line I thought.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I mean, now.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
He's in a warm up suit hoodie in the sand,
drawing like Jesus, tell me, masterfiment is what is it
that they're trying to do? Listen to this line. We're
(04:52):
the Democrat party. We're becoming the metaphorical car alarm that
nobody pays attention to. And I doubt it to be
a winning message. I mean, he's gone from being the
only one making any sense to tell me, Rabbi, tell
(05:12):
me Teacha.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I want to fall to his warm upsuit feet. Tell me,
mister Feederman, what must we do to Eila Nation?
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I love that story.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
The other one that kind of fascinates me is the ratings.
So Donald trump speech to a joint Session of Congress
reached thirty six point six million. Now that's more than
Joe Biden's last one, but not by much. Joe Bidens
was thirty two point two, smaller than even Donald Trump's
audience in his twenty seventeen State of the Union address
(05:48):
that was forty seven point seven. Then you go, okay,
of that thirty six million, where were they watching? In
the old days, we would say, was it ABC, NBC
or CBS? Actually, in the older olden days, we'd say
(06:10):
cronkite And then did anybody watch anybody else? Let's kind
of out, all right, so this is pretty crazy, So
you could add up ABC, NBC and CBS. Gosh, I
hate to get the math wronger read for the second
time in the history of your morning show. Will open
(06:31):
the mic to correct me. But I think you arrived
somewhere around fourteen million, and Fox was somewhere around eleven.
Fox alone was almost equal to or about eighty percent
of ABC, NBC, and CBS combined. So what might that
tell you? I mean, I looked at these numbers, and
(06:54):
the first thought that came to my mind is, Okay,
we all know that most people, probably not you, probably
not me talking, they're not engaged like we are. Most
don't engage until weeks before an election, and they disengage
rather quickly, don't they Prior to the election, sixty million
(07:20):
listening to Donald Trump on a Joe Rogan podcast giving
a speech to the American people in a joint session
of Congress in prime time on every television network.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
News or not.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Half the audience and most of it virtually all watching Fox.
That tells me the only ones that are engaged are
the ones that are engaged by the way, I think,
if you add up MSMB, was it well Fox Broadcasting,
which isn't Fox News. If you added up Fox Broadcasting
and Fox News together, it is equal to ABCNBC and
(07:59):
CBS combined. But ceenn An MSNBC one point nine million.
Was that each combined. I'll have to look at that.
I don't know if that was they tied both with
one point nine or if you add up CNN and
MSNBC together you come to one point nine million. Whatever
it is, it's a clear vision of how quickly we
(08:21):
disengage in interest. We focus, we vote, they win, we
watch them celebrate, maybe do their inaugural speech. Then we're
disengaged until the next election a few weeks before, and
the only people that really are engaged are those that
watch these what I call matrix networks. It may also
(08:45):
show why do the numbers as a whole end up
evening out. You mean to tell me there's not more
than three million people more excited about Donald Trump than
Joe Biden. Well, that's because everybody on the left didn't watch,
and when Joe Biden gave his speech, everybody on the
right didn't watch.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
That's the matrix playing out.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
That's why when I break these numbers down, you have
thirty million, and twelve of them are Fox and Fox News.
Fox News is eleven and regular Foxes two seven. So
maybe it's eleven and three. That tells you it's because
they're president won. They're watching. And that's why CNN and
MSNBC are down to one point nine million. They lost.
(09:26):
They're not watching. That's the matrix phenomenon. This is the
most concerning when you get to the seventy one percent
of the thirty six million that watched, they're fifty five
(09:49):
and older. And if you think of that, just as well,
older people care more. No older people want, and it's
entirety more. The younger people will watch clips and reels
(10:09):
and tiktoks. Now that concerns me. It's kind of like
the altercation that took place at the White House last Friday.
I wouldn't even respond to somebody who didn't watch all
thirty eight minutes of it.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
You just don't have anything in context.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
In fact, I really don't respect unless you watched it
three four times to really get it. We have a
generation that doesn't do that, and that makes it a
very dupable generation.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
So the young and listen.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
There's been efforts to reach them, and it was very
effective in the last election. But the younger you are,
the more likely you're to catch a show, catch a clip,
but not watch live. So who watches these Joint Session
of Congress speeches fifty five and old and the few
that are engaged. That's the lesson of these ratings, not
(11:06):
comparing Trump to Biden's last or Trump to his first
in the previous a term that he had no Look
inside these numbers. Look who's watching and where. When the
Dems lose, they stop watching. When the Republicans lose, they
stop watching. That's the matrix. You can add up the
major networks altogether. They don't even equal Fox News when
(11:26):
the Republicans in office and nobody under fifty five virtually
is watching. Well for the present and for the future,
of our country. That's a problem, especially when we don't
have honest, accurate media.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I don't know. I don't think that's a journey of discovery.
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
You respond using the iHeartRadio app and the talkback button,
and I'd love to hear what you think. But that's
the latest on the found now. I really think, before
it's all over, he's going to have an English accent,
the John Fetterman, one last wise owl in the room.
(12:11):
Who'da saw that coming? And the journey of discovery behind
the ratings and what they really tell.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot, and
we'll miss you. It's your Morning show with Michael del Churno.
