When did politicians cease being representatives who serve the nation, to become divisive, partisan only play and now about only individual celebrity, self-serving, self-enriching …lifelong self-servants? We ask YMS contributor Chris Walker when partisanship evolved into governmental disfunction??? And what was the cause, advent of tv, cable 24 hour news or social media personalization and obsession with political fighting?
Artificial intelligence is taking over the hiring process at many companies, but employers and applicants have their doubts. National Correspondent RORY O’NEILL is here with the story.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Let's start with Perry and Nashville.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I'm not mistake in the new Cracker Barrow ceo came
from Taco Bell, So what does she know about good food?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Love you show brother, keep it up.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
See, I love Taco Bell. I'm sorry, I can't. I
love them both. I just I don't like corporate speak,
although I do like the thought of taco barrel.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Maybe get a Taco's in a barrel. Big John with
the latest on the odds. Hey, mooke, I know you're
a Big Bill's Mafia fan, but they're the number one
bet team to win the Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, I think this is the year, and I think
this year they finally get it done. Time will tell,
but the Buffalo Bills look very good. John is in Youngstown, Ohio.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Hey, pizza boy, don't forget to give the Steelers scores.
Speaker 7 (01:49):
There's a lot of Steeler fans here in northeast Ohio.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Am I the one that's kind of shocked by that?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I mean you would think that maybe it's split, or
I would think most people be Browns fans and young.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Well, yeah, that's why they're cheering for Pittsburgh. They're near
the Browns. They're a factory of sadness.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
You're a fan of the Tennessee Titans. Seriously, just stay
in your glasshouse and be quiet.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You are a factory of sadness. They are a factory
of sadness. That's my team, the Browns.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
All right, so let me give you that Steelers won
thirty one twenty five over Jacksonville. Although the highlight of
that game was that rookie kicker Cam Little with the
big foot in a seventy yard at sea level. A
seventy yard field goal. That's what the Titans need. It
could keep them in the game. All right, We've been
dancing around this conversation all morning long. Let's have it
with somebody outside of ourselves. Chris Walker is a Republican
(02:47):
GOP consultant and analyst. He joins us every Monday, and
Chris wep're kicking around. When did it go from servant
hood serving the people of your district in the People's
House or the Senate, becoming about states rights being sent
by the states, protecting those states rights, and executives just executing.
(03:08):
I mean, how did we end up going from ceasing
to represent and collectively serving the nation to becoming divisive
partisan players to now what has devolved into individual celebrity
completely self serving, self enriching, and lifelong self servants.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And what caused it.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I mean, we've gone from the dysfunction of partisanship to
the dysfunction of government in general. And I think TV
man played a role, cable news man played a role,
social media played the finals draw role in personalization and
obsession of political fighting. But it has created a dysfunction.
And I don't know that the American people have addressed
(03:51):
the problem yet.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
How did we get here?
Speaker 8 (03:54):
Yeah, good morning, Michael, And I think we need to
address too that.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Well, you're a Cleveland.
Speaker 8 (03:58):
Browns fan, but that's a whole other convers for an
I would assumed you were a Saints fan. But you know,
going back to the to the original question, you know,
it's a twentieth century kind of phenomenon that that that
really happened both from uh we talked about this last
week a little bit, the seventeenth Amendment and the Congressional
(04:19):
Apportionment Act, both of which were you know, basically creating
a permanent Congress based out of Washington and left out
of the states. So it's gotten further and further with
from the people they are supposed to represent. And so
now we're in a position where our members are more
focused on Washington than they are their districts. They pretend
to be about their districts, but everyone knows that they're
(04:42):
up there for a full time Congress, and that's the problem.
So that's one.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Piece of it.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
The second piece is, you know, like you said, I
think cable and I mean cable news in particular is
a real big problem, But I think television overall is
what really kind of pushed this into in the high gear.
You know, we're in a position where we're just basically,
you know, watching watching a reality show every day on television. Well, yeah,
that's our elected leaders being entertainers.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Rather, let me, let me add a little let me
add a little color to what you're laying out, and
that is all right. So the advent of television and
imperfect timing.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
John F.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Kennedy, all right, you couldn't have had a better television figure.
That changed a lot, but it wasn't completely dysfunctional.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yet.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Twenty years after that, you've got Ronald Reagan working with
Tip O'Neil, and again, at some point in this is
the conversation about the Democrat Party going so far left
that it's now a birthing Islamist party, a socialist I
guess with mom dommy communist Justice Democrat Party, as well
(05:46):
as a very progressive liberal party establishment Democrat Party. I mean,
somebody asked the questions can come up in our sounds
of the day, could Bill Clinton be elected by Democrats today?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And the answer is no. And if John F.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Kennedy ran for president, the answer is it would be
on the Maga party. All right, He's not even a Republican,
he'd be Maga. So, I mean, the party shifts are
part of that. But you're right about television beginning it
then for the remnant of people that followed a year
long and it wasn't a big portion. It may have
been fifteen to twenty percent of voters got into the
(06:18):
twenty four hour news cycle and cable talk shows and
really engage. But social media is what tied in everybody.
And that's when the fights became personal on Facebook, on Twitter,
and then it became like All Star wrestling, and then
the people that fought well for your side became like celebrities.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Presidents became like gods.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I mean, and of course anybody that opposes your worldview
or policy views is the devil themselves. I mean, I
guess it's kind of all of the above, and it
kind of happened in a progression, and like you boil
a frog a little at the time, how do we
get out of this boiling water?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Now?
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (06:58):
You know, I like to look at mile markers as
as moments in time where you know you could certainly
see a shift. I would point to one in particular,
and I'm sure you know a lot of your listeners
would remember this as Dan Rather interviewing George H. W.
Bush in nineteen eighty eight, and it was just so
acrimonious that it was basically, you know, for Bush as
(07:19):
the sitting vice president is kind of a gas at
that here that that Dan Rather would call him a wimp,
and you know, it was just became all about ratings seeking,
and that's really where combative.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Media starts to really take hold.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
I mean, that was four years before ninety two in
Clinton and going on our Citio Hall and everything else.
But it became very television focused, and racing did a
good job at like maximizing television, but not a in
a you know, in a combative way. I would really
point to nineteen eighty eight as a real kind of
bell Weather year that really shifted from politics as coverage
(07:54):
to politics as combat.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
State of the Union's great example, though, right, it's pure
theater now, and it's not necessarily theater. It's not necessarily
a theater. I hate it's just it is pure political theater.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
But you make a great You make a great point
though that you know, the media was designed to hold
elected officials accountable and keep the American people informed after
their vote. It really hasn't. They're not really serving the
viewers anymore. They're serving themselves. Even in their death of
journalism now they keep up with the very narratives that
(08:27):
discredited them.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
It's it's but it's just so just functional. How do
we get out of that?
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I mean, I would I would say that nobody I
did a monologue in the first hour. People want to
go back and listen to the podcast. You can the
brilliance of our founding fathers with a blank slate at
a young age to create what they did, to have
the ability to have learned from the past the way
they did, be in the moment in the present the
(08:53):
way they did, and foresee hundreds of years of issues
that could happen that we're now living to see past,
asked present in future. The way they did I credit
to Almighty God. I think they were very smart men.
They were very thoughtful men. But I think the spirit
of God was with them when they created this nation.
And there's never been anybody smarter than them, and they
foresaw all this. But the level that we're in now
(09:17):
is so dysfunctional. I don't know what their advice would be.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
I mean, I know exactly what the advice is, because
they've it was in their founding documents from well, no,
you know, go back to the states, go back to localities.
The federal government is not supposed to be the connecting
glue of our nation. The community is the you know,
our our towns, in our in our cities, and our
(09:44):
communities are supposed to be the power centers, not Washington.
And you know, the federal government used to be big
enough to where someone could go into the White House
and have a meeting with the President and then it
didn't matter. Now we've turned them into you know, many
fortresses where and even our members of Congress are complete
they bub you know, ballooned and bubbled away from the
people they represent. So it's not a matter of you know,
(10:06):
redoing anything. It's a matter of going back to basic principles.
We need to get the power out of Washington, where
everything in our lives is geared up for a national
discussion when it shouldn't be that way. They should only
be talking about national defense, maybe a little infrastructure, and
not overprinting dollars. But everything else in the world comes
through Washington because of the Power Center, and they accumulated
(10:28):
power for the last one hundred years. It's up to
the people to care about it enough to take it back.
But instead we're playing this game right into what the
politicians want us to do, where you know, they we
have to care about the latest outrage in Washington more
so than the you know, our rage in our own community.
That's the real problem, the real solutions community versus DC.
(10:48):
It's it's really that simple.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Chris Walker joining us GOP analyst and consultant. I'm going
to say this thinking of someone and people are going
to probably connect the dots, but don't read too much
into it.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It's just an example.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
But the vision was for our senators to be appointed
by state legislatures to represent the state and states' rights
and protect them. Now they become a collective club of
one hundred that thinks they're really running the country. The
People's House, through the abuse of jerry mandering, has become
(11:21):
a stepping stone or an ability to serve a partisan
interest or an individual's interest, certainly not serve and represent
the people of its district. Now it's almost like minor
league baseball. You go into the House and then the
minute somebody leaves, you jump to the Senate, and then
when you're done serving in the Senate, and if you're
(11:42):
not presidential or vice presidential material.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Return home and become governor.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
At a time when everybody is concerned about age, why
is somebody, after serving untem terms in the House a
few terms as senator, ready to come back and run
for governor at eighty I mean, what does that tell
you about the level? And if it's shirts and skins
and you know it's coming home to your shirt state,
everybody just goes along with it. The very people that
(12:07):
are screaming about people staying in office till death tags
toe tags running for office approaching eighty in Tennessee, they're
overwhelmingly behind Marcia Blackburn, who, after being in the House
and the Senate is coming home and pushing eighty to
be governor. Nobody's saying anything about her age, nobody's saying
(12:28):
anything about lifelong service. It's almost like there's a disconnect,
and that's where this final thing comes in.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's almost become like a celebrity.
Speaker 8 (12:37):
Right, Oh, absolutely, I mean, you know, that's that's basically
the incentive structure. I mean you're saying it, right. And look,
you know, Marcia has you know, in our we both
live in Tennessee, and she's got you know, she's she's
leaving in the polls by forty fifty points or something
in part because she's been in office for a long
(12:57):
time and has universal name MD. There's nothing wrong with that,
but it does show that there's like an incentive structure
missing here where a businessman or someone who you know
might want to run for office doesn't really have the
ability to because there, you know, there isn't a structure
in which, you know, somebody can be competitive, and so
(13:18):
it turns into a you know, have you been there
long the longest amount of time and are you within
the network of the political class, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
And then they serve the political class.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
But that's the problem, and then when they.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
When they serve that political class and not the people
that they represent, right right, So, and there's nothing about
being a senator or a representative that's executive and qualifies
you to be a governor.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
I mean, I don't think Congress has been any less
relevant than it has been the last thirty years or
other George Will said the other ta I mean, they
just be They've become observers to the political process and
not participants of it.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Were out we're down to three seconds. Let me just
do it this way.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
There's a there's a point in the movie is as
good as it gets where Jack Nicholson says to Greg kinnear,
I'm drowning and you're describing the water that's not helping.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
How do we swim?
Speaker 8 (14:13):
I mean, we need a concerned effort of folks to demand,
you know, not demand, that's the I mean, but you know,
the people of the boss here we get to decide
what our country looks like. We need a we need
a we need a cultural shift away from Washington, away
from politicians as heroes and back to the servant class
that they should be. You know, we we entrust too
(14:34):
much of our of our hopes into a political figure,
and we're doing that right now on the conservative side too. Look,
I mean I love the president. Trump's doing a lot
of things, but we have a lot of conservatives and
also think that Trump's going to be the savior of
the country. That's also the wrong attitude out. We have
to have the people being the savers of the country,
not an elected official.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Elective are palle.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
And by the way, I think that's ultimately. I think
ultimately that's what TOMD. Trump's trying to do. I did
a meme on Sunday and it got great response, and
it shows Barack Obama looking at Donald Trump saying, I
weaponize the IRS, CIA, FBI, DOJ and ISIS. Then it
shows Trump putting his hand on his shoulder saying, I
weaponize the American people. And I believe it's just right now.
(15:14):
What the people do, what the people do with that control.
Time will tell. Hopefully they're having the thoughtful concerns that
we've shared today. All things Republican. Chris Walker, consultant analyst,
Thanks for joining us. As always, we'll talk next week.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Thank you, sir.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
I'll be waiting, Love you bye. All right, What if
you could delay your next two mortgage payments. How much
would that make you go? Imagine putting those two payments
in your pocket, finally getting a little breathing room. It's
possible when you call American Financing today. If you're feeling
stretched by everyday expenses and who is in groceries, gas
(15:48):
bills piling up?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
You're not alone.
Speaker 4 (15:50):
Most Americans are putting these expenses on credit cards, and
now they're getting buried in credit card debt. American Financing
can show you how to use your home s equity
to pay off that debt, peace of mind, a real plan.
You need to call American Financing today before you get
to the point where you can't make those payments. That's
the whole other problem. And too late. They're salary based,
(16:12):
not commissioned. Salary based mortgage consultants helping homeowners just like you,
restructure their loans and consolidate debt, all without upfront fees,
and customers are saving on average eight hundred dollars a month.
That's like a ten thousand dollars a year raise. It's fast,
it's simple, it could save your budget this summer. Call

Speaker 1 (18:08):
But we're glad you're here now. Enjoyed the podcast if

Speaker 4 (18:11):
The Trump administration is going to be sending FBI on
night patrols in DC. The President's going to be addressing
us in will that be two no hour and a
half from now in a news conference a little bit
about the safety, security, and beautification of the District of Columbia.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Keep an ear out for that.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
The President is planning to visit with Putin in Alaska
on Friday. The question of the mark of the day
is will Zelensky be along for those talks? And weapons
scared up a huge box office victory over the weekend,
getting ten million more dollars than was expected. Well, we
always keep an eye on artificial intelligence, and this is
a fighting headline. AI is taking over the hiring process
(18:57):
at many companies, but employers and applicants have their doubts.
Your Morning Show national correspondent Roy O'Neil is here with
the story.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Good morning Rory, Hey, good morning Michael.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
It's fascinating that AI is becoming an integral part of
the hiring process, but both sides, both the employer and
the would be employee, seem to hate it. Employers don't
like the fact that many employees are using AI to
generate their resumes, make the cover letters, even generate text
for a writing sample, or to answer questions if that's
(19:30):
part of the hiring process. And on the flip side,
the applicants say, I hate this AI stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I wish my resume and letter got.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
In front of some actual human eyes and they could
see I'm qualified for this job.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Ah, it's a two way street, right, Okay. So in
the old days, you know, and I was in management
twenty five years, so I did a lot of hiring.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You would do.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I mean, listen, you get one chance for a first
impression that comes across my desk. I'm looking at everything.
I'm looking at the amount of time you spend, how
you work things. I'm learning a lot about you in
the way you present yourself. AI can clean a lot
of that up, but AI is also screening all.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
That as it comes in. So I don't know what
scares me more.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
The lazy management is going to rely on AI to
pick finalists. But this, the bottom line is this makes
that in person interview everything well right.
Speaker 9 (20:20):
If that ever happens, don't forget so much more of
this is done for remote work jobs. So I think
six percent said that they actually would either they have
covered for someone else, or they've swapped identities with someone
in order to have that person do the interview pretending
to be them, believe it or not.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So that's a factor in some of this.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
But a lot of this is just changing so rapidly
that there's not a lot of time to catch up.
And the fact that a lot of these jobs that
you know it's a regional sales manager job, well suddenly
that's now posted on all those big websites and they're
getting thousands of applications when maybe they used to get fifty.
And the poor HR department is typically overwhelmed and the
applicants are frustrated by these screening proms that often don't
(21:01):
let qualified people get to the final round.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Wow, okay, so how much of this will time catch
up with and clean up time will tell?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Right? Well?
Speaker 9 (21:14):
Yeah, look, and we see this in schools, you know,
I laughing. The school bus just went by. We're starting
school here for the year again today. It just seems
so crazy early. But schools are still grappling with how
to use AI, especially for older students, say in high school,
because you know, at the same time, you want them
to use AI. You want this to be something that
they're familiar with as they get into the workforce, but
(21:36):
you don't want to replacing the work that they do.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
So you know, what's the right answer.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
Yes, maybe that job applicant did have a I write
that letter for them, but AI is going to write
the letter for them when they get the job, so
why not let them use it now?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh and just.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Like that, my brain is a pretzelf roriyo o' neil.
Great reporting as always, We'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Thanks Ma.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Jeffrey. This actually qualifies. Do we have the old the
email intro? We have so many people are in the
writing mood today.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
You know what, I can pull that up here real quickly.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
I have so many emails. I think it actually justifies
our good old fashioned mail man song. Here we go, letters, letters, shell,
Matthew Roger, all right, letters, I love those letters.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Oh boy, big finish. This one comes from Michelle.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
She writes, so keep dropping a nugget or two from
Uncle Phil's dictionary.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I miss him so much. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Yes, we use the van Go listening line that Phil
used to use. That's when people only use one here.
By the way, forty seven made a mistake the other day.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
He who did he have? Cutting off? Is here? Picasso right?
And it was dan Go, not Picasso Picasco. He was
a filthy guy, wasn't he.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
This one on Jerry Mandering from Matthew First, I enjoy
your show each day. I appreciate your views and coverage
on most topics. I thought about using your voice message
that's the talk pack, but decided sending an email is
more my speed. As a listener to your opening this morning,
and comment that you made about most Americans not knowing
or understanding Jerry Manning really made me think. This thought alone,
(23:27):
Nay should be the biggest condemnation of and evidence for
destruction of the Department of Education. I didn't even think
to make that point, and education cease being I'll never forget.
What was it about twenty years ago? The old was
it a nineteen twenties fifth grade exam started circulating?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Maybe it was.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I think it was like nineteen twenty. I couldn't even
answer half of it. And I was a product of
the seventies and eighties. No one today could. But yes,
obviously we got away from edgeating. We were more into
indoctrination and then later socialization that became the priority. History
had been revised and rewritten, and Civics is not even taught.
(24:14):
So yes, it is the well as we said when
the president kicked around. Listen, we didn't have a federal
Department of Education until nineteen seventy nine, and things were
fine up until then, and it certainly became something it
was never intended to be. There were some things the
federal government was having to facilitate, and so they formed
(24:39):
the Department of Education in order to do that. But
it grew into funding and control and thus another dysfunction
of our political partisan dysfunction in this country. But you're
right to point that out. I never never much cared
for politics until very early in the twenty tens. That
would be Barack Obama woke you up. But even I
(25:03):
knew what this term meant as I learned about it
in grade school. Mind you, I started kindergarten in nineteen
seventy five. I have a great day, sir, Thank you
so much. MJ from no longer the Garden State. Okay,
so glad you found us at your morning show. And
if you're more comfortable writing, that's why we do emails. Roger,
(25:24):
Your perspective that most Americans do not understand the process
and importance of redistricting both saddened and frightened me.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I'm not the most educated man. However, I have.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Known how this process works most of my life, both
the way it's supposed to work and the reality of politics.
Heaven help us if people don't wake up, have a
safe and productive day.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
This comes from Youngstown. It's a picture of an old
fashioned phone. Remember when I didn't have to do this.
You just clicked on AOL and then AOL took it
from there and you would hear the now soon to
be missed famous AOL sounds, which I had.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
What did I do with it?
Speaker 4 (26:09):
I give up? Well, no, no, I'm I can't find it.
But you know the AOL dial ups. Now this one
maving a hard time connecting. But the very original one,
you would literally take your push buttoner dial phone and
put it right on it.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
And then yeah, he so he sends that picture. But no,
but listen to where Roy goes with him.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Computers used to scream out in pain when we connected
to the internet. This was a warning and we did
not and all the dysfunction that it would later create. Uh,
what's next? Who's next? Who's next? This one's interesting. Here
(27:03):
is a good example of how broken our political system is. Headlines,
Sanders says Trump didn't win West Virginia. What in the
world is Sanders doing in West Virginia. He represents Vermont.
He has zero to do with West Virginia and its people,
writes Chris Good. Observation, Chris, because they become a club
(27:24):
of one hundred trying to steer the nation rather than
what they were intended to do, represent their state and
protect their states rights. Keep the emails coming, Michael de
atiheartmedia dot com. We always appreciate him quick look now
and these are some beauties, so don't move your Sounds
of the day are next, But first things first, top
five stories of the day. Well, we kind of have
(27:47):
an idea of what they talked about, but maybe Netanyah
who and the President had a conversation yesterday at Mark Mayfield,
will till you in.
Speaker 10 (27:56):
According to the Prime Minister's office, the two discussed Israel's
plan to take home the remaining Hamas strong holds in Gaza.
Danielle Who also thanked Trump for his support of Israel
since the start of the war. It comes as many
of Israel's allies have been calling for negotiated seaspire in
Gaza to secure the release of the hostages and to
help resolve the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territory.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I'm Mark Neeghiew.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
If I was elected office and found out my predecessor
was trying to sabotage my term, I'd move his picture too.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
That's exactly what Trump did.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
That's according to CNN, which obtained a photo of the
Obama portrait now hanging in a corner at the top
of the stairwell of the Grand Staircase. The portraits of
former President George W. Bush and former President George H. W.
Bush have also been moved. CNN also reports sources said
the moves were directed by President Trump. The area where
the portraits are now displayed is heavily restricted to the
(28:48):
First Family, Secret Service agents and a limited number of
White House staff. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
This justin.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
BRHDD has moved his Obama bobblehead behind old bad bourbon.
Bobby Winlock, the co founder of the nineteen seventies blues
rock band Derek and the Dominoes, has passed away. His
family announced he died Sunday at his home and Texas
at the age of seventy seven. AOL is shutting down
(29:15):
it's dial up internet service after more than four decades.
Oh the Memories, just hearing the sounds.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
Once a staple of the early Internet era, the service,
which connected motives through phone lines, at one time boasted
millions of customers. Even as late as twenty fifteen, AOL
had more than two million dial up customers. That number
has since dropped to the low thousands. The service will
be disconnected on September the thirtieth.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I'm working for you so far, Goodbye, so far only
Mary as an AOL address.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Happy birthday, Mary.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
Sounds of the Day, Our our this is CNN, this
is the news, and that's a lot more paypoll are
watching the Carzoon Network.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Spongebobberie runs right now.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'm big a Democrat. This is like a gold stall
in a pass.
Speaker 10 (30:10):
Should have a government that just minds its own damn
business and leaves people alone.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
All right, fifty three minutes after the hour, time for
your Sounds of the Day, Always revealing, often entertaining. This
is Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker on Meet the Press with
Kristin Welker, and she couldn't even resist pointing out the hypocrisy.
He knows he's going to lose the Congress in twenty
twenty six. That's why he's going to his allies and
hoping that they can save him.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
And we've all got to stand up against this is
it's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
He cheats on his wives, he cheats at golf, and
now he's trying to cheat the American people out of
their votes.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
Well, look, sticking on your state's map, every major group
that grades the fairness of congressional maps gives your state
an f Common cause and nonpartisan government watchdog even says
your map, and I'm going to quote represents a nearly
perfect model for everything that can go wrong with redistricting.
And I guess the question is you talk about preserving democracy,
(31:06):
how do you preserve democracy if you're using the same
tactics that you've criticized Texas Republicans for.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
But as I say, what they're but as I say,
she did the same to Eric Holder.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
Listen, homepage of the group you lead, the National Democratic
Redistricting Committee says, quote, there is no off season in redistricting.
Jerry Mandering poses a critical threat to our democracy. But
now you're arguing that Democrats are going to have to
use jerry mandering quote in order to save our democracy.
(31:45):
So let me ask you, how can jerry mandering both
be a threat to democracy and also the way to
save it.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Well, there's no question that jerry mandering is a threat
to our democracy. It allows politicians to pick their voters
as opposed to citizens chief using their representatives. But we
are now in a situation where we find ourselves where
authoritarian moves are being made by the White House through
various states.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Well, what were the authoritarian moves that Illinois did, California did,
New York is done. There's no Republican representation in the
entire East Coast, even though Donald Trump took upwards of
near fifty percent of the vote. They act as if
(32:29):
this is something new. No, what's new is the Republicans
finally playing the game that they've been playing.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Here's Karl Rove. But you can't.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
If you look at history, you see Jerrem Mirren during
in both parties. Oh, absolutely, both parties do it. And
this is one of the fun things for me, is
is that take a look at this. Think about that
they went to Illinois. Trump got forty percent of the
vote in Illinois and eighty two percent of the members
of the delegation are Democrats. New York three percent for Trump,
(33:01):
seventy three percent of our Democrats. Then California thirty eight
percent and eighty three percent of the delegation our Democrats.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
And what about Texas.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
In Texas, donald Trump got fifty six percent of the
vote and the Republicans are sixty six percent of the total.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Now, what will happen is.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
If the new plan is adopted, then seventy nine percent
of the delegation will be Republican. That's assuming that the
Republicans defeat a popular, albeit troubled Democrat and combenty in
South Texas who ran six points ahead of Kamala Harris.
But then it'll be they wouldn't be as partisan redistricted
as well.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
What's outrageous to the Democrats as Republicans are finally playing
a game that they have played. This was an interesting
question with Jesse Waters. Now this goes back to upholstered
and Clinton advisor, who really is a should I think
(34:02):
it was Mark Levin maybe who talked to him. I
can't remember which he really is a reasonable Democrat? And
Levin asked him the question, do you think Bill Clinton
could get the nomination today of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Look, we're going to see that in a couple of years.
Speaker 12 (34:20):
It doesn't look that way by everything that you're seeing
happening in the Democratic Party, because it's being led by
cities in which people to the extreme left are really
getting elected and are getting kind of all of the play.
They call themselves democratic socialists, they're not Democrats, and they've
been allowed to burrow their way into the Democratic Party
(34:43):
and so all of those things the President Clinton stood for,
certainly a rational budget policy, expanding healthcare, normal things that
you would think a party would stand for, are being
gradually replaced by more and more extreme politics.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Mark Penn gets that there is a parasite trying to
kill the host, not realizing when it kills the host,
it'll kill the parasite itself as well. And that's your
Sounds the Day for today, Monday, augusty eleventh, twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Let's start with Perry and Nashville.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I'm not mistake in the new Cracker Barrow ceo came
from Taco Bell, So what does she know about good food?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Love you show brother, keep it up.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
See, I love Taco Bell. I'm sorry, I can't. I
love them both. I just I don't like corporate speak,
although I do like the thought of taco barrel.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Maybe get a Taco's in a barrel. Big John with
the latest on the odds. Hey, mooke, I know you're
a Big Bill's Mafia fan, but they're the number one
bet team to win the Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Yeah, I think this is the year, and I think
this year they finally get it done. Time will tell,
but the Buffalo Bills look very good. John is in Youngstown, Ohio.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Hey, pizza boy, don't forget to give the Steelers scores.
Speaker 7 (01:49):
There's a lot of Steeler fans here in northeast Ohio.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Am I the one that's kind of shocked by that?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I mean you would think that maybe it's split, or
I would think most people be Browns fans and young.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Well, yeah, that's why they're cheering for Pittsburgh. They're near
the Browns. They're a factory of sadness.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
You're a fan of the Tennessee Titans. Seriously, just stay
in your glasshouse and be quiet.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You are a factory of sadness. They are a factory
of sadness. That's my team, the Browns.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
All right, so let me give you that Steelers won
thirty one twenty five over Jacksonville. Although the highlight of
that game was that rookie kicker Cam Little with the
big foot in a seventy yard at sea level. A
seventy yard field goal. That's what the Titans need. It
could keep them in the game. All right, We've been
dancing around this conversation all morning long. Let's have it
with somebody outside of ourselves. Chris Walker is a Republican
(02:47):
GOP consultant and analyst. He joins us every Monday, and
Chris wep're kicking around. When did it go from servant
hood serving the people of your district in the People's
House or the Senate, becoming about states rights being sent
by the states, protecting those states rights, and executives just executing.
(03:08):
I mean, how did we end up going from ceasing
to represent and collectively serving the nation to becoming divisive
partisan players to now what has devolved into individual celebrity
completely self serving, self enriching, and lifelong self servants.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And what caused it.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
I mean, we've gone from the dysfunction of partisanship to
the dysfunction of government in general. And I think TV
man played a role, cable news man played a role,
social media played the finals draw role in personalization and
obsession of political fighting. But it has created a dysfunction.
And I don't know that the American people have addressed
(03:51):
the problem yet.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
How did we get here?
Speaker 8 (03:54):
Yeah, good morning, Michael, And I think we need to
address too that.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Well, you're a Cleveland.
Speaker 8 (03:58):
Browns fan, but that's a whole other convers for an
I would assumed you were a Saints fan. But you know,
going back to the to the original question, you know,
it's a twentieth century kind of phenomenon that that that
really happened both from uh we talked about this last
week a little bit, the seventeenth Amendment and the Congressional
(04:19):
Apportionment Act, both of which were you know, basically creating
a permanent Congress based out of Washington and left out
of the states. So it's gotten further and further with
from the people they are supposed to represent. And so
now we're in a position where our members are more
focused on Washington than they are their districts. They pretend
to be about their districts, but everyone knows that they're
(04:42):
up there for a full time Congress, and that's the problem.
So that's one.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Piece of it.
Speaker 8 (04:46):
The second piece is, you know, like you said, I
think cable and I mean cable news in particular is
a real big problem, But I think television overall is
what really kind of pushed this into in the high gear.
You know, we're in a position where we're just basically,
you know, watching watching a reality show every day on television. Well, yeah,
that's our elected leaders being entertainers.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Rather, let me, let me add a little let me
add a little color to what you're laying out, and
that is all right. So the advent of television and
imperfect timing.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
John F.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
Kennedy, all right, you couldn't have had a better television figure.
That changed a lot, but it wasn't completely dysfunctional.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Yet.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Twenty years after that, you've got Ronald Reagan working with
Tip O'Neil, and again, at some point in this is
the conversation about the Democrat Party going so far left
that it's now a birthing Islamist party, a socialist I
guess with mom dommy communist Justice Democrat Party, as well
(05:46):
as a very progressive liberal party establishment Democrat Party. I mean,
somebody asked the questions can come up in our sounds
of the day, could Bill Clinton be elected by Democrats today?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And the answer is no. And if John F.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Kennedy ran for president, the answer is it would be
on the Maga party. All right, He's not even a Republican,
he'd be Maga. So, I mean, the party shifts are
part of that. But you're right about television beginning it
then for the remnant of people that followed a year
long and it wasn't a big portion. It may have
been fifteen to twenty percent of voters got into the
(06:18):
twenty four hour news cycle and cable talk shows and
really engage. But social media is what tied in everybody.
And that's when the fights became personal on Facebook, on Twitter,
and then it became like All Star wrestling, and then
the people that fought well for your side became like celebrities.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Presidents became like gods.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
I mean, and of course anybody that opposes your worldview
or policy views is the devil themselves. I mean, I
guess it's kind of all of the above, and it
kind of happened in a progression, and like you boil
a frog a little at the time, how do we
get out of this boiling water?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Now?
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (06:58):
You know, I like to look at mile markers as
as moments in time where you know you could certainly
see a shift. I would point to one in particular,
and I'm sure you know a lot of your listeners
would remember this as Dan Rather interviewing George H. W.
Bush in nineteen eighty eight, and it was just so
acrimonious that it was basically, you know, for Bush as
(07:19):
the sitting vice president is kind of a gas at
that here that that Dan Rather would call him a wimp,
and you know, it was just became all about ratings seeking,
and that's really where combative.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Media starts to really take hold.
Speaker 8 (07:32):
I mean, that was four years before ninety two in
Clinton and going on our Citio Hall and everything else.
But it became very television focused, and racing did a
good job at like maximizing television, but not a in
a you know, in a combative way. I would really
point to nineteen eighty eight as a real kind of
bell Weather year that really shifted from politics as coverage
(07:54):
to politics as combat.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
State of the Union's great example, though, right, it's pure
theater now, and it's not necessarily theater. It's not necessarily
a theater. I hate it's just it is pure political theater.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
But you make a great You make a great point
though that you know, the media was designed to hold
elected officials accountable and keep the American people informed after
their vote. It really hasn't. They're not really serving the
viewers anymore. They're serving themselves. Even in their death of
journalism now they keep up with the very narratives that
(08:27):
discredited them.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
It's it's but it's just so just functional. How do
we get out of that?
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I mean, I would I would say that nobody I
did a monologue in the first hour. People want to
go back and listen to the podcast. You can the
brilliance of our founding fathers with a blank slate at
a young age to create what they did, to have
the ability to have learned from the past the way
they did, be in the moment in the present the
(08:53):
way they did, and foresee hundreds of years of issues
that could happen that we're now living to see past,
asked present in future. The way they did I credit
to Almighty God. I think they were very smart men.
They were very thoughtful men. But I think the spirit
of God was with them when they created this nation.
And there's never been anybody smarter than them, and they
foresaw all this. But the level that we're in now
(09:17):
is so dysfunctional. I don't know what their advice would be.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
I mean, I know exactly what the advice is, because
they've it was in their founding documents from well, no,
you know, go back to the states, go back to localities.
The federal government is not supposed to be the connecting
glue of our nation. The community is the you know,
our our towns, in our in our cities, and our
(09:44):
communities are supposed to be the power centers, not Washington.
And you know, the federal government used to be big
enough to where someone could go into the White House
and have a meeting with the President and then it
didn't matter. Now we've turned them into you know, many
fortresses where and even our members of Congress are complete
they bub you know, ballooned and bubbled away from the
people they represent. So it's not a matter of you know,
(10:06):
redoing anything. It's a matter of going back to basic principles.
We need to get the power out of Washington, where
everything in our lives is geared up for a national
discussion when it shouldn't be that way. They should only
be talking about national defense, maybe a little infrastructure, and
not overprinting dollars. But everything else in the world comes
through Washington because of the Power Center, and they accumulated
(10:28):
power for the last one hundred years. It's up to
the people to care about it enough to take it back.
But instead we're playing this game right into what the
politicians want us to do, where you know, they we
have to care about the latest outrage in Washington more
so than the you know, our rage in our own community.
That's the real problem, the real solutions community versus DC.
(10:48):
It's it's really that simple.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Chris Walker joining us GOP analyst and consultant. I'm going
to say this thinking of someone and people are going
to probably connect the dots, but don't read too much
into it.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It's just an example.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
But the vision was for our senators to be appointed
by state legislatures to represent the state and states' rights
and protect them. Now they become a collective club of
one hundred that thinks they're really running the country. The
People's House, through the abuse of jerry mandering, has become
(11:21):
a stepping stone or an ability to serve a partisan
interest or an individual's interest, certainly not serve and represent
the people of its district. Now it's almost like minor
league baseball. You go into the House and then the
minute somebody leaves, you jump to the Senate, and then
when you're done serving in the Senate, and if you're
(11:42):
not presidential or vice presidential material.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Return home and become governor.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
At a time when everybody is concerned about age, why
is somebody, after serving untem terms in the House a
few terms as senator, ready to come back and run
for governor at eighty I mean, what does that tell
you about the level? And if it's shirts and skins
and you know it's coming home to your shirt state,
everybody just goes along with it. The very people that
(12:07):
are screaming about people staying in office till death tags
toe tags running for office approaching eighty in Tennessee, they're
overwhelmingly behind Marcia Blackburn, who, after being in the House
and the Senate is coming home and pushing eighty to
be governor. Nobody's saying anything about her age, nobody's saying
(12:28):
anything about lifelong service. It's almost like there's a disconnect,
and that's where this final thing comes in.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
It's almost become like a celebrity.
Speaker 8 (12:37):
Right, Oh, absolutely, I mean, you know, that's that's basically
the incentive structure. I mean you're saying it, right. And look,
you know, Marcia has you know, in our we both
live in Tennessee, and she's got you know, she's she's
leaving in the polls by forty fifty points or something
in part because she's been in office for a long
(12:57):
time and has universal name MD. There's nothing wrong with that,
but it does show that there's like an incentive structure
missing here where a businessman or someone who you know
might want to run for office doesn't really have the
ability to because there, you know, there isn't a structure
in which, you know, somebody can be competitive, and so
(13:18):
it turns into a you know, have you been there
long the longest amount of time and are you within
the network of the political class, you know.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
And then they serve the political class.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
But that's the problem, and then when they.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
When they serve that political class and not the people
that they represent, right right, So, and there's nothing about
being a senator or a representative that's executive and qualifies
you to be a governor.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
I mean, I don't think Congress has been any less
relevant than it has been the last thirty years or
other George Will said the other ta I mean, they
just be They've become observers to the political process and
not participants of it.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Were out we're down to three seconds. Let me just
do it this way.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
There's a there's a point in the movie is as
good as it gets where Jack Nicholson says to Greg kinnear,
I'm drowning and you're describing the water that's not helping.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
How do we swim?
Speaker 8 (14:13):
I mean, we need a concerned effort of folks to demand,
you know, not demand, that's the I mean, but you know,
the people of the boss here we get to decide
what our country looks like. We need a we need
a we need a cultural shift away from Washington, away
from politicians as heroes and back to the servant class
that they should be. You know, we we entrust too
(14:34):
much of our of our hopes into a political figure,
and we're doing that right now on the conservative side too. Look,
I mean I love the president. Trump's doing a lot
of things, but we have a lot of conservatives and
also think that Trump's going to be the savior of
the country. That's also the wrong attitude out. We have
to have the people being the savers of the country,
not an elected official.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Elective are palle.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
And by the way, I think that's ultimately. I think
ultimately that's what TOMD. Trump's trying to do. I did
a meme on Sunday and it got great response, and
it shows Barack Obama looking at Donald Trump saying, I
weaponize the IRS, CIA, FBI, DOJ and ISIS. Then it
shows Trump putting his hand on his shoulder saying, I
weaponize the American people. And I believe it's just right now.
(15:14):
What the people do, what the people do with that control.
Time will tell. Hopefully they're having the thoughtful concerns that
we've shared today. All things Republican. Chris Walker, consultant analyst,

and Columbus, Georgia. We'd love to be a part of
your morning routine.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
But we're glad you're here now. Enjoyed the podcast if
you're just waking up.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
The Trump administration is going to be sending FBI on
night patrols in DC. The President's going to be addressing
us in will that be two no hour and a
half from now in a news conference a little bit
about the safety, security, and beautification of the District of Columbia.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Keep an ear out for that.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
The President is planning to visit with Putin in Alaska
on Friday. The question of the mark of the day
is will Zelensky be along for those talks? And weapons
scared up a huge box office victory over the weekend,
getting ten million more dollars than was expected. Well, we
always keep an eye on artificial intelligence, and this is
a fighting headline. AI is taking over the hiring process
(18:57):
at many companies, but employers and applicants have their doubts.
Your Morning Show national correspondent Roy O'Neil is here with
the story.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Good morning Rory, Hey, good morning Michael.
Speaker 9 (19:07):
It's fascinating that AI is becoming an integral part of
the hiring process, but both sides, both the employer and
the would be employee, seem to hate it. Employers don't
like the fact that many employees are using AI to
generate their resumes, make the cover letters, even generate text
for a writing sample, or to answer questions if that's
(19:30):
part of the hiring process. And on the flip side,
the applicants say, I hate this AI stuff.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I wish my resume and letter got.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
In front of some actual human eyes and they could
see I'm qualified for this job.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Ah, it's a two way street, right, Okay. So in
the old days, you know, and I was in management
twenty five years, so I did a lot of hiring.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
You would do.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
I mean, listen, you get one chance for a first
impression that comes across my desk. I'm looking at everything.
I'm looking at the amount of time you spend, how
you work things. I'm learning a lot about you in
the way you present yourself. AI can clean a lot
of that up, but AI is also screening all.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
That as it comes in. So I don't know what
scares me more.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
The lazy management is going to rely on AI to
pick finalists. But this, the bottom line is this makes
that in person interview everything well right.
Speaker 9 (20:20):
If that ever happens, don't forget so much more of
this is done for remote work jobs. So I think
six percent said that they actually would either they have
covered for someone else, or they've swapped identities with someone
in order to have that person do the interview pretending
to be them, believe it or not.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So that's a factor in some of this.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
But a lot of this is just changing so rapidly
that there's not a lot of time to catch up.
And the fact that a lot of these jobs that
you know it's a regional sales manager job, well suddenly
that's now posted on all those big websites and they're
getting thousands of applications when maybe they used to get fifty.
And the poor HR department is typically overwhelmed and the
applicants are frustrated by these screening proms that often don't
(21:01):
let qualified people get to the final round.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Wow, okay, so how much of this will time catch
up with and clean up time will tell?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Right? Well?
Speaker 9 (21:14):
Yeah, look, and we see this in schools, you know,
I laughing. The school bus just went by. We're starting
school here for the year again today. It just seems
so crazy early. But schools are still grappling with how
to use AI, especially for older students, say in high school,
because you know, at the same time, you want them
to use AI. You want this to be something that
they're familiar with as they get into the workforce, but
(21:36):
you don't want to replacing the work that they do.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
So you know, what's the right answer.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
Yes, maybe that job applicant did have a I write
that letter for them, but AI is going to write
the letter for them when they get the job, so
why not let them use it now?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh and just.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
Like that, my brain is a pretzelf roriyo o' neil.
Great reporting as always, We'll talk again tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Thanks Ma.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
Jeffrey. This actually qualifies. Do we have the old the
email intro? We have so many people are in the
writing mood today.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
You know what, I can pull that up here real quickly.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
I have so many emails. I think it actually justifies
our good old fashioned mail man song. Here we go, letters, letters, shell,
Matthew Roger, all right, letters, I love those letters.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Oh boy, big finish. This one comes from Michelle.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
She writes, so keep dropping a nugget or two from
Uncle Phil's dictionary.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I miss him so much. Thank you.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Yes, we use the van Go listening line that Phil
used to use. That's when people only use one here.
By the way, forty seven made a mistake the other day.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
He who did he have? Cutting off? Is here? Picasso right?
And it was dan Go, not Picasso Picasco. He was
a filthy guy, wasn't he.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
This one on Jerry Mandering from Matthew First, I enjoy
your show each day. I appreciate your views and coverage
on most topics. I thought about using your voice message
that's the talk pack, but decided sending an email is
more my speed. As a listener to your opening this morning,
and comment that you made about most Americans not knowing
or understanding Jerry Manning really made me think. This thought alone,
(23:27):
Nay should be the biggest condemnation of and evidence for
destruction of the Department of Education. I didn't even think
to make that point, and education cease being I'll never forget.
What was it about twenty years ago? The old was
it a nineteen twenties fifth grade exam started circulating?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Maybe it was.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I think it was like nineteen twenty. I couldn't even
answer half of it. And I was a product of
the seventies and eighties. No one today could. But yes,
obviously we got away from edgeating. We were more into
indoctrination and then later socialization that became the priority. History
had been revised and rewritten, and Civics is not even taught.
(24:14):
So yes, it is the well as we said when
the president kicked around. Listen, we didn't have a federal
Department of Education until nineteen seventy nine, and things were
fine up until then, and it certainly became something it
was never intended to be. There were some things the
federal government was having to facilitate, and so they formed
(24:39):
the Department of Education in order to do that. But
it grew into funding and control and thus another dysfunction
of our political partisan dysfunction in this country. But you're
right to point that out. I never never much cared
for politics until very early in the twenty tens. That
would be Barack Obama woke you up. But even I
(25:03):
knew what this term meant as I learned about it
in grade school. Mind you, I started kindergarten in nineteen
seventy five. I have a great day, sir, Thank you
so much. MJ from no longer the Garden State. Okay,
so glad you found us at your morning show. And
if you're more comfortable writing, that's why we do emails. Roger,
(25:24):
Your perspective that most Americans do not understand the process
and importance of redistricting both saddened and frightened me.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I'm not the most educated man. However, I have.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Known how this process works most of my life, both
the way it's supposed to work and the reality of politics.
Heaven help us if people don't wake up, have a
safe and productive day.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Well, thank you.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
This comes from Youngstown. It's a picture of an old
fashioned phone. Remember when I didn't have to do this.
You just clicked on AOL and then AOL took it
from there and you would hear the now soon to
be missed famous AOL sounds, which I had.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
What did I do with it?
Speaker 4 (26:09):
I give up? Well, no, no, I'm I can't find it.
But you know the AOL dial ups. Now this one
maving a hard time connecting. But the very original one,
you would literally take your push buttoner dial phone and
put it right on it.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
And then yeah, he so he sends that picture. But no,
but listen to where Roy goes with him.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Computers used to scream out in pain when we connected
to the internet. This was a warning and we did
not and all the dysfunction that it would later create. Uh,
what's next? Who's next? Who's next? This one's interesting. Here
(27:03):
is a good example of how broken our political system is. Headlines,
Sanders says Trump didn't win West Virginia. What in the
world is Sanders doing in West Virginia. He represents Vermont.
He has zero to do with West Virginia and its people,
writes Chris Good. Observation, Chris, because they become a club
(27:24):
of one hundred trying to steer the nation rather than
what they were intended to do, represent their state and
protect their states rights. Keep the emails coming, Michael de
atiheartmedia dot com. We always appreciate him quick look now
and these are some beauties, so don't move your Sounds
of the day are next, But first things first, top
five stories of the day. Well, we kind of have
(27:47):
an idea of what they talked about, but maybe Netanyah
who and the President had a conversation yesterday at Mark Mayfield,
will till you in.
Speaker 10 (27:56):
According to the Prime Minister's office, the two discussed Israel's
plan to take home the remaining Hamas strong holds in Gaza.
Danielle Who also thanked Trump for his support of Israel
since the start of the war. It comes as many
of Israel's allies have been calling for negotiated seaspire in
Gaza to secure the release of the hostages and to
help resolve the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territory.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I'm Mark Neeghiew.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
If I was elected office and found out my predecessor
was trying to sabotage my term, I'd move his picture too.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
That's exactly what Trump did.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
That's according to CNN, which obtained a photo of the
Obama portrait now hanging in a corner at the top
of the stairwell of the Grand Staircase. The portraits of
former President George W. Bush and former President George H. W.
Bush have also been moved. CNN also reports sources said
the moves were directed by President Trump. The area where
the portraits are now displayed is heavily restricted to the
(28:48):
First Family, Secret Service agents and a limited number of
White House staff. I'm Lisa Carton.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
This justin.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
BRHDD has moved his Obama bobblehead behind old bad bourbon.
Bobby Winlock, the co founder of the nineteen seventies blues
rock band Derek and the Dominoes, has passed away. His
family announced he died Sunday at his home and Texas
at the age of seventy seven. AOL is shutting down
(29:15):
it's dial up internet service after more than four decades.
Oh the Memories, just hearing the sounds.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
Once a staple of the early Internet era, the service,
which connected motives through phone lines, at one time boasted
millions of customers. Even as late as twenty fifteen, AOL
had more than two million dial up customers. That number
has since dropped to the low thousands. The service will
be disconnected on September the thirtieth.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I'm working for you so far, Goodbye, so far only
Mary as an AOL address.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Happy birthday, Mary.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
It's your morning show with Michael del Chorno.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
Sounds of the Day, Our our this is CNN, this
is the news, and that's a lot more paypoll are
watching the Carzoon Network.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Spongebobberie runs right now.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'm big a Democrat. This is like a gold stall
in a pass.
Speaker 10 (30:10):
Should have a government that just minds its own damn
business and leaves people alone.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
All right, fifty three minutes after the hour, time for
your Sounds of the Day, Always revealing, often entertaining. This
is Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker on Meet the Press with
Kristin Welker, and she couldn't even resist pointing out the hypocrisy.
He knows he's going to lose the Congress in twenty
twenty six. That's why he's going to his allies and
hoping that they can save him.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
And we've all got to stand up against this is
it's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
He cheats on his wives, he cheats at golf, and
now he's trying to cheat the American people out of
their votes.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
Well, look, sticking on your state's map, every major group
that grades the fairness of congressional maps gives your state
an f Common cause and nonpartisan government watchdog even says
your map, and I'm going to quote represents a nearly
perfect model for everything that can go wrong with redistricting.
And I guess the question is you talk about preserving democracy,
(31:06):
how do you preserve democracy if you're using the same
tactics that you've criticized Texas Republicans for.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
But as I say, what they're but as I say,
she did the same to Eric Holder.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
Listen, homepage of the group you lead, the National Democratic
Redistricting Committee says, quote, there is no off season in redistricting.
Jerry Mandering poses a critical threat to our democracy. But
now you're arguing that Democrats are going to have to
use jerry mandering quote in order to save our democracy.
(31:45):
So let me ask you, how can jerry mandering both
be a threat to democracy and also the way to
save it.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Well, there's no question that jerry mandering is a threat
to our democracy. It allows politicians to pick their voters
as opposed to citizens chief using their representatives. But we
are now in a situation where we find ourselves where
authoritarian moves are being made by the White House through
various states.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Well, what were the authoritarian moves that Illinois did, California did,
New York is done. There's no Republican representation in the
entire East Coast, even though Donald Trump took upwards of
near fifty percent of the vote. They act as if
(32:29):
this is something new. No, what's new is the Republicans
finally playing the game that they've been playing.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Here's Karl Rove. But you can't.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
If you look at history, you see Jerrem Mirren during
in both parties. Oh, absolutely, both parties do it. And
this is one of the fun things for me, is
is that take a look at this. Think about that
they went to Illinois. Trump got forty percent of the
vote in Illinois and eighty two percent of the members
of the delegation are Democrats. New York three percent for Trump,
(33:01):
seventy three percent of our Democrats. Then California thirty eight
percent and eighty three percent of the delegation our Democrats.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
And what about Texas.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
In Texas, donald Trump got fifty six percent of the
vote and the Republicans are sixty six percent of the total.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Now, what will happen is.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
If the new plan is adopted, then seventy nine percent
of the delegation will be Republican. That's assuming that the
Republicans defeat a popular, albeit troubled Democrat and combenty in
South Texas who ran six points ahead of Kamala Harris.
But then it'll be they wouldn't be as partisan redistricted
as well.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
What's outrageous to the Democrats as Republicans are finally playing
a game that they have played. This was an interesting
question with Jesse Waters. Now this goes back to upholstered
and Clinton advisor, who really is a should I think
(34:02):
it was Mark Levin maybe who talked to him. I
can't remember which he really is a reasonable Democrat? And
Levin asked him the question, do you think Bill Clinton
could get the nomination today of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Look, we're going to see that in a couple of years.
Speaker 12 (34:20):
It doesn't look that way by everything that you're seeing
happening in the Democratic Party, because it's being led by
cities in which people to the extreme left are really
getting elected and are getting kind of all of the play.
They call themselves democratic socialists, they're not Democrats, and they've
been allowed to burrow their way into the Democratic Party
(34:43):
and so all of those things the President Clinton stood for,
certainly a rational budget policy, expanding healthcare, normal things that
you would think a party would stand for, are being
gradually replaced by more and more extreme politics.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Mark Penn gets that there is a parasite trying to
kill the host, not realizing when it kills the host,
it'll kill the parasite itself as well. And that's your
Sounds the Day for today, Monday, augusty eleventh, twenty twenty five.
