This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. This is Chelsea Handler from Dear Chelsea. Every week, the news gets worse. The world gets crazier, and Yamanika is here to tell whoever's responsible, you're the problem. Do you know I just found out who Sidney Sweeney was? If he got a bunch of women, then I should have a bunch of men. Do better or do less, so I don't have to do so much. I'm Yamanika, and I'm out. Listen to You're the Problem with Yamanika on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Bill, why is my eye twitching? Does this mean I'm in perimenopause? Where's my phone? Juliana, maybe we can ask an actual human. Yes, because I have questions. And I bet you do too. Like, is it normal to sleep in separate bedrooms? We do that. And I still need to know why my poop's been green. We've got actual people answering these exact questions. Listen to Bill and Juliana. The podcast. On the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

I'm Stephanie Young. The hit podcast Love Trapped is back with new updates in the case of Laura Owens. This is CR 2025 State versus Laura Owens. I think she really believes that she still hasn't out. I'm quite confident that they're up to something. We're following the case live as the criminal charges finally come to a conclusion. Trust us when we tell you as the victims of Laura Owens, she will not stop. Listen to Love Trapped on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, it's me, Michael. Your morning show can be heard live daily on great radio stations like News Radio 650, K-E-N-I, Anchorage, Alaska, Talk Radio 1190, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Freedom 104-7 in Washington, D.C. We'd love to have you listen live every day and make us a part of your morning routine. But better late than never, enjoy the podcast. One, two, three. Starting your morning off right? A new way of talk. A new way of understanding. Because... We're in this together. This is your morning show with Michael Del Journal. Good Friday, literally. April the 3rd year of our Lord, 2026, and happy Easter from all of us to all of you. This is your morning show on the air streaming live on your iHeart radio app. I'm Michael Del Journal. Honored to serve you. Jeffrey's got the sound. Red's got the content. Pam Bondi is out. Somewhere her husband's saying, but I didn't do anything. Artemis 2 is officially bound for the moon and it's good Friday. Wall Street is closed and the final four begins this weekend. We just visited with Kevin Sorrelli, our futurist on this mission and beyond, but it's really setting up, is ultimately a mission to Mars. And it really, we were talking, Rory O'Neill is joining us, our space expert and national correspondent. It really is a mix of futuristic. We saw that with the rockets at launch. But the old-fashioned capsule, the old-fashioned splash down, eventually the old-fashioned rendezvous and landing on the moon, it's just a perfect mix of yesterday and tomorrow all coming together. I think it's capturing America's imagination. I think so, too. But, you know, the capsule design, it's not just old-fashioned. It's also just physics. Like, that's the way the math works. That's the aerodynamic shape that's the best. It's essentially a teardrop. It's a raindrop. It's the same thing. That's just nature for you. And that's why these ships are always in that shape and design. I think ultimately the difference between, I mean, I don't, nothing is routine. Don't get me wrong, but orbiting, this is the first stage. Next stage will be rendezvous. Next stage will be landing and returning. That's all coming. But ultimately, it's about Mars. And that takes a whole different level of physical training and sustainability as well as energy to get them there and back, right?

4:01

And psychology as well. For someone who makes that trip, it's going to be at least 18 months just to get there. They believe the rough idea is 18 months to get there, spend two years there, and then spend 18 months getting back. So that's a chunk of your life. That's going to take a special kind of crew. And, you know, when you look, I don't know if you've seen the video feed from inside Orion. Them's tight quarters. It's cozy. It is cozy. And they're still cold, by the way. That's another issue. But yeah, you look at Jeremy Hansen, the Canadian astronaut who's six foot two. You know, he is stretched around that thing and takes up half the capsule. God bless him. But yeah, it's a different way of life. And it really is a special psychology for the person who wants to make that trip. Just my luck. I'd get in the capsule that small and there'd be giant Rory and the toilet fan wouldn't work. Boy, that's a tough one. What's going on with temperatures inside the capsule? Yeah, so things are chilly, and it's getting better. Let's put that out there first. But, yeah, if you notice, the crew was all wearing sweatshirts. I've got some of the sound of them saying, hey, can you turn the fan down? Or if not, can we turn the temperature up in here? So they're a little bit cold. Victor Glover, the African-American astronaut, who we assume shaves his head. He did the media interview and took the hat off to be interviewed. He says, when this is done, I'm putting the hat back. Yeah, I think they're a little bit uncomfortable, but again, it's getting better. So they fired, and they are officially, after completing, I think it was about a six-minute burn, and they are now on their way to the moon. And you mentioned this earlier. It's a two-day journey, and ironically, we circled an Apollo 8 in 1968 on Christmas Eve. This time it'll be Easter. Can't make this stuff up. Yeah, pretty remarkable. And, you know, there's no stop in it now. After that six minute burns, so they are on their way. They'll be going out past the moon and then coming back. A lot of those big milestones, the closest approach, the furthest ever, all that stuff. All that's going to be happening on Monday. So tune in for a lot of the details because that stuff's going to come fast and furious. But essentially, they start going out away from Earth and start coming back. Real quickly, it does seem like the president makes moves on Thursdays. It does seem like a trend. When he fires someone, they're not really fired. They're reassigned. They're fired. She's fired. She's fired. And this is two firings in relative close proximity. The first was Kristi Noem, now Pam Bondi. Both women, by the way. And I think both about to be replaced by men, because I got from a very reliable, Lee Zeldin is it. I mean, I think it's the worst kept secret in Washington. I think I understand why he. you know, squashed any rumors about Tulsi Gabbard. Three women in two months replaced by men, that's going to develop a narrative.

6:58

Well, yeah, and I think we're going to slip the Epstein step. Whether or not Pam Bondi still is testifying, right? We've already seen, you know, she was subpoenaed to testify to the Oversight Committee. Now there's bipartisan calls. Congresswoman Mace, she's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can't be fired and not testify. Your name is on the subpoena. So you've got to show up to testify about what you know about the Epstein files. Could be interesting to see if she follows through with that. Yeah, we'll have more on that. And Orion Space Capsule now made its maneuver and burn. It's on its way to the moon. More with Roy O'Neill in the third hour. Also, our Good Friday address is coming up. I believe the doctor is ready to see us. Doctor, Doctor, give me the news. I got a bad case to Dr. Joe. You know, we were joking. And then today we added Kevin Cirilli. I don't know what it is, Joe. We got Galati, we got Zanati, we got Bucci, we got Carafano, we got Cirilli, I'm Del Giorno. I mean, it's become a head of five families. Dr. Joe Galati is a very brilliant man. And today we're going to talk about our coolies, as we used to call it growing up. But who knew our glutes are critical. You want to live long? Baby, you better have back. Coolie? Yeah. Yeah, coolie. Oh, my coolie. Oh, my gosh. That brings me back to my mother when I was a kid. So thank you, Michael. You're welcome. All right, our glutes, you know, as Tiger Woods would say, keep them firing if you want to live, right? Well, you know, that's the truth. And look, we all go to the, you know, the gym or the club. We see people working out. We see people, you know, trying to exercise. And when you see an article like this on how important your pulleys are, your, you know, gluteous muscles, it makes you really think to say all the time that we're putting into working out. You know, we're being that good citizen to go to the gym. We might be missing the right muscle that we really need to work on. And when you really dive into this, the gluteus muscle is important, you know, for... strength and making sure you don't fall when you're 70 years old and protecting yourself against leg back ankle pain in the future. Can I add one, Dr. Joe? Yeah. To get your coolly off the cushion, you got to use your coolly, your glute. I mean, I live in nursing homes when I'm not on the radio because of both of my mother and my mother-in-law. And I can tell you, infection is a much bigger killer than people realize it's likely what you will die from. And immobility will lead to your early death. And immobility comes from falling. And falling comes from balance and strength. And that comes from your glute's not being strong. Actually, this headline made the most sense to me. It didn't even need to be explained. It's a reality. I see it every day in nursing homes. You live and die by your glute.

10:00

No, no, you really do. And over probably the past 10 years, they have tied together the negative health impact of sitting down, how much time you spend on the couch. And so we could talk about, you know, too much computer time, bulk watching TV. But really, you're sitting down, not moving, makes your glutes weak, and then you get into all the problems you just mentioned. Right. Dr. Joe Golati is joining us our weekly visits and today we're exploring your longevity is tied to the strength of your glutes. You brought up the exercise part because I see a lot of people to gym from the waist up. They're bulky. And then nobody, you know, Joe, you work out too. Look, nobody likes doing legs. Legs are no fun when I was 16 when we would do them. Right. And so we do. We tend to forget the lower body. And you could make a case other than visceral fat. That's the more important. I mean, other than vanity, that's the most important. Strong legs and glute, you're going to live a long time. Because you're going to move a long time. You know, it really. It really is. And I think that, like you said, you go to the gym, everybody knows how to do a curl for your biceps or a curl for your triceps. How much do you bench, not squat? Yeah. Exactly. You know, you big, you know, pectorous muscles and whatever. But the exercises for the glutes are probably the most uncomfortable to do. They're a little tricky to do because you have to have good core balance and a lot of muscles are recruited. And so most people would say, oh, I have to do a glute bridge. That's terrible. I'm going to go on and just start, you know, curling. And that's much easier. I leave and I feel I feel I'm okay. But I, you know, early at the end of last year in December, I went for a knee replacement. But for a year and a half leading up to the knee replacement, which I knew I had to have done, I was going to physical therapy on a regular basis. And my physical therapist would get with me and we would work specifically on the gluteous minimus. I'm like, what the hell is that muscle? But there are certain exercises that focus on this tiny little muscle within the glute. And it was probably the least favorite part of my workout. But fast forward, I did very well with my knee replacement because I think my glutes and rest of my legs were in good shape when I got operated on. That's a nice way to say, too, that it was probably a requirement before your knee replacement by insurance that you had to do physical therapy first, too. Dr. Joe Golati, top three exercises for glutes. I think squats come to mind. What are some of the other ones? Walking is good for glued. Signet.

12:57

Yeah, actually, walking backwards is very good for your glutes. And if you could walk backwards uphill, that actually is nice. That's probably the easiest thing to do. There's another... I never thought of that. Yeah, it's called a clam shell. So basically, the easier way to do it is you lay it on your side with your knees bent, maybe at about a 45-degree angle. And you just, if you're... You know, your left side is down. You just sort of rotate your right leg up. And you do maybe 10 or 15 of that, turn over, and do the same on the other side. That will stimulate the glutes. But there are a whole host of exercises. You could just go on Google. Yeah, Google glute exercises. Just sitting up and down, standing up, sitting down out of a chair. 20 reps of those a day will make a world of difference. And again, the glutes affect everything from staying mobile, staying balanced, not falling, immobility. There is something about the body that just wants to shut down if you stop moving. Use it or lose it is a great thing to learn. Yeah, that's true. And I think so many people, so many patients I see, they have chronic back pain, leg pain, ankle pain. The research will show that a lot of it will tie back to weak glutes. And so. you know why should we at 50 60 70 80 90 years old be walking around harboring all of this pain and discomfort it makes for a lousy existence and if you if you up front start thinking about these exercises your happiness and longevity will be all the more better. So I think, I agree. And we talked about this last week, Dr. Joe, and that is people just go, oh, I'm older. Of course I'm going to have some fat on my liver. No. And I used to be, and I used to say all the time, you know, I was known for my butt when I was in high school. That's what all the girls would comment on. You know, and I'm the same guy. I got the same glutes. But what happens? I live differently. I don't go from football to basketball to baseball. I'm not going and working out every day. Now I work four hours a day sitting down. So this notion that when you get old, you lose your butt. No, only if you lose your mobility are you losing your butt. Get your butt, your coolly in line, your glutes are your key to longevity. One last thing in our 30 seconds, you're a doctor and a specialist, I might add. In all your study of the human body, did that draw you closer to God or closer to science? Or both? I'd say both because when you look at the human body, it is a gift from God. There's nothing else like it. And it's divine creation. And so I think you have to be, especially in this Easter season and, you know, happy Easter and happy Good Friday. But I think you have to look at, you know, we talk about respect for life. in Catholicism. You have to have respect for your own life, for your own body. And so it is so important that we respect what we put into the body with regard to food and nutrients. We pamper it and we exercise so that we are healthy. And the way I look at it, Michael, we're healthy so that we can help others. That really is at the end of the day what we want to do. Yeah, I was fascinated when my best friend went into med school.

16:22

And I watched him. He was already a believer. We were in Bible studies together, but I just watched him get a different view of God as it went. And he saw some kids going through med school. coming to understand God more through this body he gave us. We sometimes take care of our cars more than we take care of our bodies. We're only getting something completely wrong, aren't we? Hey, Joey, good Friday, happy Easter to you and yours. And tell Mom we talked about coolies today. Absolutely, Michael. I got blessed. Do you have a blessed Easter? I will, I plan on it. Dr. Joe Goloddy, don't forget my state of the Good Friday address. We'll be coming up in the third hour. Yeah, I don't know. This was a suggestion of a listener. Yeah. We could just rotate them. I'll go through the suggestions from the listeners. I've got a better idea. We're going to make it. We're going to make something happen. I like Dr. Doctor, Doctor, give me the news, though. But yeah, it might be a montage. That may be the solution. Dr. Joe is a real feature. It ain't Friday without Paul Harvey and Dr. Joe and Friday with 47. And you're getting them all today. And a good Friday address. Hey, those spam texts, scam emails that are flooding your phone, they're not random. Scammers buy your personal information. And guess who they buy it from? Data brokers. They're the one selling it. And if you knew what they were doing and what they had, you'd be outraged and demanding they take it down. And legally, they have to. But they know you'll never find enough time because there's so many of them. They grab your name and address and phone number, the meds you take, your traffic records, your social media footprint. They package it all up and they sell it to anyone willing to buy, including criminals. Which is why I use incogny. Finding you and having it, that's the problem. The solution, making them take it down and disappearing. And Cogni took me off 358 data broker sites and 48 hours. That would have taken me 500 hours to do and you know I never would have found the time. What's the result? Less spam. Fewer scam calls. Less of my personal information, you know, like clearance merchandise and the dark web. Do what I did and go to Incogni. incogni.com forward slash Michael. Incogni. Incogny. Incogni.com forward slash Michael. They're going to give you for being a your morning show listener 60% off when you sign up today. Incogny.com forward slash Michael.

Hey, I'm Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton, and my morning show is your morning show with Michael Del Giorno.

19:04

Bill, why is my eye twitching? Does this mean I'm in perimenopause? Maybe I have adult ADHD. I need to look this up. Where's my phone? Juliana, your phone is hot to the touch. I think it's asking you for a break. You know what? Maybe I should just ask chat GPT. Or maybe we can ask an actual human. Yes, like a couple sex therapist. Whoa, that escalated quickly, but... Okay. Because I have questions. We have questions. And I bet everyone has questions. Like, is it normal to sleep in separate bedrooms? We do that. How about this one? Is bribing your kids bad parenting or just negotiating? Oh, and I still do need to know why was my poop green that one time? Hypothetically, right? Okay, well, instead of letting the internet guess, we've got actual people answering these exact questions. And laughing with us has got to be better than spending three hours down a rabbit hole online. Listen to Bill and Juliana. The podcast. On the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts. I'm Stephanie Young. The hit podcast Love Trapped is back with new updates in the case of Laura Owens. This is CR 2025, State versus Laura Owens. I think she really believes that she still hasn't out. I'm quite confident that they're up to something. We're following the case live as the criminal charges finally come to a conclusion. Trust us when we tell you as the victims of Laura Owens, she will not stop. Listen to Love Trapped on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Michael. I'd love to have you listen to your morning show live every day. We're heard on great stations like News Talk 550, K-F-Y-I in Phoenix. News Radio 1190, K-E-X in Portland and 1090, the Patriot in Seattle. Make us a part of your morning routine. We'd love to have you listen live. But in the meantime, enjoy the podcast. Attorney General Pam Bondi is out. We never call it, you fired, like when we were. playing the apprentice game. She's always being reassigned. While she's being reassigned to the private sector, she's fired. And we're all supposed to act like we don't know Lee Zeldin is the replacement, but more on that in a moment. Artemis 2 is officially bound for the moon. It had its burn to leave the Earth's orbit on its journey to orbit the moon on Easter and then return home safely in Splashdown in San Diego. It appears the Department of Homeland Security shutdown is going to last at least until mid-April. The Republicans are not so on the same page after all. It really is a high-stakes game of deal or no deal. And right now, Speaker Johnson keeps hitting no deal. There's still not enough funding for ICE and Border Patrol in this bill. So it continues. And the final four is this weekend. Three Illinois versus two, Yukon, one Michigan versus one Arizona. Both should be great games. The national championship should be really amazing. And for a furniture store in New England, I've read the fine print, and they just have to make the national championship game. I think, and by the way,

22:13

You can't even buy furniture this weekend to qualify. So I'm wondering how any of this makes any marketing sense for Jim Jordan's furniture store, but it's a pretty high-risk gamble. All right, busy week in Washington, and it wraps up with the ousting of Pam Bondi as the Attorney General. I think we can flesh out why. I'm supposed to act like I don't know. It's Lee Zeldin next, but White House correspondent John Decker is here to give us the very latest. Good morning, John. Hey, good morning. I don't think that's a done deal as far as Lee Zeldin being the next attorney general. Obviously, we have Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, taking over as acting AG until a new attorney general is chosen. And remember, Michael, President Trump likes individuals in positions as an acting position. You remember Mick Mulvaney, the chief of staff? He never was made chief of staff. He served as acting chief of staff during the duration of his time at the White House. So this has happened before. I would not be surprised if the president goes a significant period of time before naming a full-time AG that requires Senate confirmation. Well, he loved Todd when he was handling his case. I mean, I know he thinks the world of him, but I'm just hearing rumors. Pretty reliable sources that leaves the guy. Who cares that'll just create an opening an EPA. John, is this a, and I'm not, I feel like I'm doing the, the position of the one you would yell at the radio and go, does that be such a liberal jerk? But there were rumors about Tulsi Gabbard. I think we know why Pam Bondi, where Pam Bondi came up short and where they don't trust her now moving forward, especially with the war on fraud. I mean, we could flesh all that out, but you've got Kristi Noem out. A woman replaced by a man. You've got Pam Bondi out. If it turns out to be your right and Todd Blanche or I'm right and Lee Zeldin replaced by a man, I think Tulsi Gabbard should be saved for the remainder of the year. I don't think it would be a very good optic to have replaced three cabinet members in close proximity, all women replaced by men, or am I being nitpicky? Well, you're being nitpicky, number one, Michael. And number two, I don't think the president ever cares about optics. He does what he does. So Tulsi Gabbard, as you know, has not been a rah-rah cheerleader of the conflict in Iran. And so that is not a good place for her to be as the president continues this war effort against Iran. So, you know, I can recall just a few weeks ago when Kristi Noem was ousted. Immediately, immediately, focus was then thrust upon Pam Bondi as potentially being next and look what happened. Now immediately people are talking about, well, who could be next in Trump's orbit? Tulsi Gabbard. So I'm not saying that that's going to happen. I'm saying I would not be surprised if it did happen. Yeah, I don't think it will, and I think Zelda is going to have it. I'll rebate all your furniture. No, I'm kidding. It's a stupid story for March Madden. You're not going to the final four, too, are you?

25:14

No, I have another life. But, but you know what? I was going to actually, I was going to begin to dislike you if that happened. No, don't say that. I've been at the final four on the floor. It's great. It's a real thrill. But I'll be watching on television. I'll be watching tonight the women's final four as well. Yeah, he sends me pictures literally from the floor of the elite eight game. And I send him pictures of my feet with the TV in front of me. It's not the same. All right. So Pam Bondi out. but not off the hook in terms of testimony, right? Right. So that's April 14th. And we've heard from Democratic and Republican members of the House Oversight Committee. And they've put out statements almost immediately upon hearing the news saying she is still expected to show up and adhere to that subpoena, appear before the... House Oversight Committee for that sworn deposition behind closed doors talking about what she does and doesn't know about the investigation concerning Jeffrey Epstein. So that's in less than two weeks time. So even though she may no longer be the AG, she's still. required according to the committee to be there for that sworn deposition. Yesterday we were told and made to believe that John Thune and Speaker Johnson and the Republicans are all on the same page and we're going to have a deal soon to fund Homeland Security and doesn't look like the case at all. Yeah, well, that's why the president has put out a deadline of June the 1st. You know, the president does not want this hanging around as we get closer and closer to the midterm elections. I think June 1st is pretty reasonable. I thought he doesn't care about optics. Well, it's not optics. This is politics. This would be reality. Yeah. And, you know, look, we're getting closer and closer to that midterm. And I think that the president sees there are a lot of headwinds right now. Gas prices, the possibility of the partial government shutdown still being around. And if you can eliminate at least one of those. issues right now or relatively shortly, that'd be a good thing for Republicans and a good thing for the president. You say June, I say May for all three, including the war in Iran, need to be concluded, really May June, because then we're in full midterms. All right, coming up today on the Good Friday edition of the White House briefing room with John Decker. What can we look for? Everything we just talked about, right? Well, a lot of what we just talked about, but in greater detail. And then in addition to that, the president got a small victory yesterday, that planning commission giving the green light on his ballroom. That comes just days after a federal judge, who was my law professor, said, you can't do it. So this is going to be ultimately decided at higher levels than the federal district court level. So we'll talk about that as well.

28:07

The White House Briefing Room podcast with John Decker. It'll be up by 9 Eastern, 8th Central in mere minutes from now, and we will talk again Monday. Good Friday. Happy Easter, John. Happy Easter. Thanks, Michael. Bye-bye. Blessings. All right. All right. This is CNN. This is the news. And that's why more people are watching the cartoon network. SpongeBob reruns right now. Big good Democrat. This is like a goldstone. It a pass. We should have a government that just minds its own damn business and leaves people alone. Always revealing, often entertaining, time for your sounds of the day. Earlier in the week, we featured the president's approval rating at an all-time low. All time low is not all that all time. I mean, the average is all time low. Nobody gets to 50%. Everybody lives around 42%. For the president, this particular snapshot this week, a lot going against him. Came in at 35%. All right. So that's big news. And that's not good. And if the president's down, the Democrats got to be up, right? To Harry Enton, we go and CNN's latest poll. No, no, not at all, at least when it comes when you isolate Democrats. I mean, these numbers are just atrociously awful, a double A for the Democrats here. I mean, just take a look here. Congressional Dems have the right priorities. Look at this. Overall, 74%, nearly three and four, say no, just 25%. Overall, you might say, okay, well, at least Dems like Democrats. Uh-uh. Not the case. Look at this. The majority of Democrats are independents who lean Democrats. Look at this. 55% say no, congressional Democrats do not have the right priorities. And then you just see... A minority, 45% of Democrats say that congressional Democrats have the right priorities. This to me just jumps out of the screen because it screams primary challenges all over the matter. And it says that even if Democrats don't like Donald Trump, they don't like their own party either when it comes to Congress. And overall, my goodness. Yeah, there are a lot of things that need to be said out loud here. I said this would be a big solution for America, which should be developing as an anti-incumbent referendum, not an anti-Trump referendum or an anti-democrat obstructionist party referendum, anti-incumbent. They're all terrible. They're all derelict in duty. Now, would we lose a handful of good ones? Yeah, you would. It would be worth it to give them accountability. The reason they're not funding Homeland Security at a time of war with radical Islam? That's them counting on you won't do your job. So they don't have to do their job. When you start firing them and holding them accountable, they'll start doing their job. The other is, look at this Democrat Party. How do you think the Islamist portion of the party is feeling? How do you think the socialist, communist portion of the party is feeling? I don't even think there's a conservative side of the party, but.

31:03

If that's what we call an independent leaning Democrat, how do you think they're feeling? In other words, you can't get all three happy. And in the end, that's why 74% do not approve of the Democrats' priorities. Only 25% do. They're not looking very good heading into the midterms either. What about their leadership? Oh, I bet you're dying to know how Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer and all them are testing. I got it for you. What's overall approval among Democrats of their leaders? Yeah, okay. So, you know, you'd speak about Democrat on Democrat crime. And I want to know how unusual what we're seeing right now about how Democrats feel about Democrats in Congresses. Take a look at this. This is a trend line going back through the years, midterm elections in which there's a GOP president. Look at this. In 2006, Dem's net approval of congressional Democratic leaders was plus 28. You go back to the last midterm. Look at that. Plus 19. Very much on the positive side of life. The bottom has fallen out. The bottom has fallen out. Minus four points. That is Democrats. Democrats own net approval of their own congressional leaders. So when you hear people saying, yeah, but it's a midterm and it's a historic proclivity. that the opposite party makes gains. So if you have a Republican president, Democrats have this big advantage. You have to go against history to say, well, look at the history. 2006, they're plus 28 when it happened. 2018, there were plus 19 when it happened. They're minus four now. It's not going to happen. Look, there's going to be two headlines. The amount of ousted incumbents after the primaries or the lack of turnout in the general. That's what these numbers spell. And a tough choice for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president. Or to run for the United States Senate because Chuck Schumer may be the lowest hanging fruit. What might this mean for Chuck Schumer? What are some of the predictions about whether he can stay as a Democratic leader? Chuck Schumer has been the Senate leader for the Democrats for a long period of time before I even came to CNN. And I'm not quite sure that he will say it. Take a look at where the people who are putting their money where their mouth is. Chance Chuck Schumer wins the next Dem Senate leader election. Back on December 1, look at this. It was... Two and three, according to the cash prediction market. Then drops to 56% in February. And then look at where we are right now. Just 50%. A coin toss, a coin toss. If I had a coin, I would toss it up in the air. A coin toss when it comes to Chuck Schumer actually winning the next Dem Center leader election. And we've seen a number of Senate candidates, Democrats, across the map, saying we don't want any part of Chuck Schumer to be. Well, I can tell you this. I think Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's going to choose the presidency, and I think she's going to be one of the leaders. until the DNC gets involved and does another bait and switch. But this makes him low-hanging food for anyone to challenge. Think about the largest city on the 25th anniversary of 9-11, having an Islamic mayor, Islamic socialist. And then losing...
