Ron Brownstein

Uh, something of a death cult, uh, too.

CNN, um, had a, uh, Democrat named Ron Brownstein on.

Ron, Ron Brownstein on.

And, uh, he is a, pretends to be a journalist.

Uh, he's, he's nothing more than a Democrat, and he said, "Oh, well, I was in Michigan." And, and, uh, and racist, racist, and everything's about race.

Listen to the Democrat, uh, fake journalist, Ron Brownstein.

I was in Michigan the weekend before the primary, and I was in a Black church in Detroit where they were having a-

So Black church

We're dying out here and most of us, we feel as if you really don't give a and you're listening to too many of these allies and honestly, they don't give a about us.

CNN senior political analyst Ron Brownstein joins the chat.

So you and I have talked in the past about the mythical swing voter, right? And we discovered they don't necessarily swing red to blue.

They often swing couch to ballot box.

We got the brainiacs, another all-star lineup here.

We've got the great Ron Brownstein, familiar to our, uh, listeners from Bloomberg and CNN, and long, long, long, long time observer of American politics, keen observer.

And Doug Sosnik, who was the political director in the Clinton White House, and has-- his memos on the state of American politics have become a must-read.

On Substack now too, right, Doug? We ought to give you a plug.

Hello, everyone.

Back in 2021, actually in the depths of COVID, I had Ron Brownstein, one of America's leading political commentators on the show, to talk about why, in his view at least, 1974 might have been the greatest year in American cultural history, certainly in the 20th century, how it transformed Pop Culture and Politics.

He had a book back then called Rock Me on the Water.

1974, the year Los Angeles transformed movies, music, television, and politics.

David Gura, we're into the election season.

You got Ron Brownstein, um, on here, uh, Bloomberg this weekend.

What's your first question to Ron about the cacophony we're living in?

Why is the president going to Texas and Oklahoma and Alabama? Why is the vice president going to Florida? What does it say about their strategy, Republican strategy, going forward? We were, we were promised by the president a few months ago.

He was given chances on ICE, on the 2020 election, on things that he has publicly come out against the president for in the past, and then still did not do it on the big stage.

And so Ron Brownstein, when he was on with us on The Story Is after the debate, made the point, "What is he doing here? Is he running for governor?" 'Cause if you're running for governor of California and trying to win, then you would try to break distance with the president in this political climate.

Well, it, yeah.

Or is he trying to get a contract with a, another, you know, conservative media outlet, in which case break, or get a job in the White House, in which case breaking with the president would not be convenient.
