When You're In a Hole, Stop Digging

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is one of the oldest, most battered cliches in
American business and politics, and that is when you're in
a hole, stop digging'. Well, somebody passed that along to
the Democrat Party. Granted, the embers of a disaster selection
night are still smoldering, and it's five hundred and seventy
three days until the midterms, but you get the impression

(00:21):
that we are as a country ready to return to
a place we haven't known for seventy five years. One
party rule. Election Night, nineteen thirty two. Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat,
blows his hand, blows out hands on Republican incumbent Herbert Hoover.
The country, gripped by the Great Depression, cried out for change,

(00:42):
and FDR gave it. It was a New Deal, which
was code for an unprecedented government intrusion, government spending, building projects,
social security. For the next twenty years, Democrats pretty much
owned the White House, the Congress, and the Supreme Court,
which ensured that this hoarding of personal liberties would continue. Now,
the nation wasn't as partisan then as we are now,

(01:05):
and we needed all of this stuff. Our people were starving.
Twenty five percent unemployment and at least there at the
time there were no subsidies. He had to earn the check,
not by waiting by the mailbox, but still it was
government work. We did this again in the nineteen sixties
when Lyndon Johnson's pretty much arm twisted his great society

(01:26):
with Medicare, Medicaid and all of the anti poverty spending
that was by design get me two generations of voters,
and it worked right up to now. But unlike the
Republican Party in nineteen thirty two and nineteen sixty five,
which didn't disappear, just retreated, it seems we may be
quite on the brink of the end of the modern
Democratic Party. It's in a hole with no apparent way out,

(01:50):
and all they have seemingly is a shovel. If we
were reporting from the war front, this is what we'd hear.

old men were plus twenty three On Donald trump and
