To get an understanding of what's going on in the middle of the country, you gotta listen to my radio show.
Here's three callers in a row eight days before Donald Trump wins in a surprise landslide. Really - surprise? Weren't they listening to JED in the Region? Here's a transcript of JED's Journal. Listen to JED's Journal episodes on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. |

"Speaker 1 - JED
Hey, everybody, this is the JED's Journal podcast. Listen to it on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts. Some of you may be catching this on WJOB, Am and FM. So I won't swear. It's Sunday morning, November 10th of 2024 - the first Sunday after the election of Donald Trump as the next president over Kamala Harris.
They just went wild on Meet the Press. One of the guys I like to listen to is Bernie Sanders. He had two basic explanations for why the Democrats lost so handily. Right now, as you know, they haven't counted all the votes, but it's like 75 million to 70 million. Trump wins in a complete landslide. He's got the house, the Senate, the presidency and the Supreme Court. Eventually he'll get the media. That would be all of the estates.
Bernie Sanders on Meet the Press this morning said - "listen, people are angry."
What is it like two thirds or 70% of people angry or dissatisfied with the way things are in America? This is ignored by people and the northeast coast and on the West coast. In the middle here, all you have to do is listen to my morning show. I'm going to play three clips. One's a woman, one's MX, and then there's another guy, and they are all pretty much saying the same thing. They're telling you their stories from before the election. They're telling you not only who they're going to vote for, but who's going to win. It's pretty telling.
When Democrats come on the show, I sometimes ask - hey, man, don't you care why people are angry? Why your average union member - Hispanic, black, white, it doesn't really matter at this point - is dissatisfied and they're going to vote for Trump. Do you care why?
The Democratic Party is supposed to be the party for working Americans. The newest statistics on Meet the Press by Steve Kornacki are that the Democratic Party has moved to be the suburban, college educated voter with over $100,000 in family income. The Democratic party has shifted away from the average working person of all colors.
That's just how it is. Us clamoring on a little radio station in the middle of the country may be telling, but no one's listening. We have a lot of loyal, brave listeners and callers and participants and hosts on what is a 100-year running dialog.
Our dialogue shows that people are angry and dissatisfied. We've seen it for years. Nobody's listening. James Carville came on Meet the Press and said that this - whatever you want to call it - WOKE - has gone too far.
I agree. Like many others, I have opinions on what woke has done to America. There have been good parts. Sexual predators have been put away through the energy of the awakening. And there's been awareness toward disadvantaged people and businesses.
But your average union worker wants to go to work, come home, go to the kid's little league game, get up and do it again. The coasts are not speaking to them. Upper-middle class voters pay them little attention. I sat with a Hispanic guy last night at my wife's birthday get-together.
"I just got off at four and I came straight here. coming here. I'm going home after two beers then I'm going to fall asleep for six hours. Then I'll get up and work 12 hours again where it's so loud you can't take a phone call. That's what I do. And if they text me to work overtime on Monday for time and a half, I'll do that too."
That's this person's life. He feels forgotten by a culture that has gone too far.
Now, I told you that I saw it in 2008 with Barack Obama coming in just a couple of, blocks away from where I'm sitting right now in my home office. He held his last rally before he got elected. I worried on air if it had gone too far. Barack Obama, who I remember as Barry Obama at Occidental College when he was there, had reached Messiah level.
We have to keep our judgment. I suspect a similar thing is happening now with Trump. You're listening down the line. That's what this whole podcast is about - so I'll have material for a long time on my radio stations. You know what will happen with the idolization of Donald Trump? I don't.
Maybe it'll mitigate itself. There are plenty of good things that are happening in politics today. Both parties are realizing that working people, 60% or more, are living paycheck to paycheck.
Then the top 1% of people in America make more than the 90% below. And that gap is growing. It is creating an imbalance. I don't I don't know where it's going to go.
Here in this episode are three phone calls from right before the election. I think it was from Monday, October 28th of 2024. I put them in JED's Joural podcast because it has always bothered me that we don't have any tape from the civil strife of the 1960s. I would love to compare WJOB then to WJOB now. But I don't have tape. We bought the radio stations out of bankruptcy 20 years ago. Everything had been ransacked. If there was any tape from the 60s, it's all gone. So if you guys are listening to this a year, ten years, 30 years down the line, notice to the tone. These are good Region people calling in to my morning show right before the election of 2024. Do they know something?
WOMAN CALLER - I watched the, MAGA rally last night, and I thought it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw in in my life. The guy who did stand up comedy talking about Puerto Rico - it was a joke. Okay, Jim. So this morning, the Trump campaign organization put out a message saying that they had nothing to do with that joke. Okay? And if you listen, you know that fake news is what the New York Times is doing to Trump.
They always put this on Trump. They make him out like, a monster. And all of us following him - we've been called white supremacists. We've been called racists, fascists. My goodness. What even Mayor Adams came out and said, no, that's not acceptable. I don't appreciate, them calling us or a former president these things.
And then you have Joe Biden up there saying, lock him up. Lock him up. That's election interference. And you know what? Any all the people I know, there are so many poor Ricans. President Trump loves Puerto Rican. He loves everybody. I've never seen a man love like him. I've watched every rally. I've been to some.
I'm telling you, it's the most loving thing. There is no hate for anyone, anyone at all. And the more Puerto Ricans are joining Trump campaign, more Mexican-Americans, more Asian-Americans, more black Americans. And I have lots of black friends. They've had enough of it. This Biden administration. Look what they've done.
High prices for what nobody wants and I'm not gonna vote for that. I want I want clean air, I want clean water and I want an electric vehicle. And we want secure borders. And that means for people to come in legally.
Not these days. People open the border for people unvetted. And then they're giving them $10,000. And you know, Catholic Charities are involved in this, giving them all this money and setting them up. They have hotel rooms, Jim, in New York City full of illegal migrants. And they threw the other people out and they threw our veterans on the streets.
That's not fair. And the people that are that you're talking about working at your your radio station. Oh God bless them. Are they working to get their citizenship here? Are they are they working or are they applying for their citizenship?
JED - Leave that out. But be well aware that Purdue, as a Hispanic serving institution, has a number of people that have been here most of their lives, came here as kids and are basically dreamers. And they're not full citizens because
WOMAN -Why aren't they applying for their legal citizenship.
JED - It's not that easy, but I think most most are. There's two points to what you're saying. One concerns the rhetoric that is being used in calling Kamala Harris Antichrist and Puerto Rico floating garbage.
WOMAN - That was a joke. Jimmy Kimmel, right? And Colbert and all? There's their jokes, what they say about other people. They've said it for years.
JED - My point is that what is happening now is very similar to what I saw that happened here at Wicker Park. That everybody's partaking in the magic dust and that all of a sudden it's it's kind of rejecting anything that anybody on the other side might have to say. And to call Puerto Rico an island of garbage, whether it's a joke or not, to call Kamala Harris the first Samoan Malaysian low IQ former California prosecutor -
WOMAN -
He calls him Hitler. Jim.
JED - It's not just one side. I get that it is a two-sided thing right now. The rhetoric has gotten acceptable. And that is exactly what happened last night. It's like, oh, this is acceptable now.
It is unacceptable in my world. All of these things you said were a beautiful thing. I really like it when people get involved and are passionate about things. But you got to watch what you're saying sometimes. Nobody wants to point that out.
WOMAN - But you know what? If that was on Kamala's rally, nobody would be talking about it? New York Times, Washington Post, that's all fake news. And you know what? There's so many citizen journalists. Nobody is watching CNN, MSNBC or whatever you call it. Rachel Maddow - I don't know what's for that woman. Is something wrong with her head?
Let me just say one more thing before I hang up, please. Sure. MAGA people love everybody. And I am so proud to be a Trump supporter. And I proudly wear my Trump hat. And I am proud because I want to make America great again. And I want to see every race in this country. I want to see everybody. I want jobs, we want drill, baby, drill. We want our oil back. And you know what? I want to make America great again.
JED - Thank you for the call. We're going to find out in eight days. Tic tock tic tock. One more phone call. Hey, thanks a lot. Hey, you're on the air. Go ahead.
LANE - Hey. Morning, Jim.
JED - What's up man?
LANE -How you doing?
JED - Hey, can you come over and fix my sink?
LANE - Oh, yeah, I guess. Yeah.
JED - How about, Wednesday? Maybe? Yeah, Wednesday. How's that?
LANE - That works.
JED - All right, go ahead.
LANE - Just thought I'd call about Phil.
JED - Yeah, that's a tough one, man Tell people what happened?
LANE - Well, we just lost another member of the Grateful Dead. Phil Lesh, the bass player, one of the founding members. I don't know how he passed. All all I could get was he died peacefully at home with the family around, and, it's just a sad thing. We got two left of the original.
There's Mickey. He wasn't quite the original, but he was there a long time. It's just a sad thing. But, you know, Phil had a good life. He got a liver transplant in the late 90s, and then he fought prostate cancer and stomach cancer, and he lived to be 84. So he did all right.
JED - I saw some of the tributes over the weekend. It kind of got lost in the heavy politics and all of these big sports things. But Phil Lesh dying at the age of 84 for any Grateful Dead head out there, it's just a sad passing. Can you find his best song that he wrote? Box of Rain. We'll play it on the way out. Would you say that was the best song he wrote?
LANE - Oh, yeah, there's no doubt about it. He didn't write that many. But yeah, that would be the best one. In the early days, Jerry was writing all the songs. Then the guys realized that you get more money when you write songs. So they all started wanting to write songs. I'll get the hold of you Wednesday to fix your faucet.
JED - All right. 219-845-1100. Hey, you're on the air. How are you?
MX - Fake news, JED. I remember making a cartoon about Puerto Rico the mayor was taking of. Going to go back to what Mike said about the politicians in Puerto Rico. Well, during Hurricane Maria, the mayor, Angelo Varese was stealing funds from FEMA, and now he's in prison. So the statement about garbage probably should have been put a different way.
Like your politicians are garbage because now this guy's spending five years in the pen taking FEMA funds during Hurricane Maria. But I do have to say something. And one of them is Hitler. Okay. And as I talk to you. I'm going to be playing this video of a guy from Auschwitz. Now, my father, I didn't know what he did in World War two when he walked like he pulled his leg along.
He got wounded in the Rhineland. He crossed the Rhine River with Patton. Punched through the Siegfried Line, got wounded in the Rhineland. He went in three days. So the people in the concentration camps, I never knew he had two bright stars in a Purple Heart. He went into the concentration camps. My uncle was in Patton's tank battalion, a scar across his neck. But to call somebody Hitler is why Kamala is losing right now. You could call him Orange Man. That's funny. But when you bring up Hitler - That's why she's falling in the polls. There's still a lot of people that are sons like I am. They see my dad's records. I found them when my mom was dying.
I had to look for records. And I found these old yellow papers. And there is my dad, two bright stars, Purple Heart. And one time in a shower. And we had to show our nuts to butts. And I said, what happened here, dad? He said, never mind. So this Hitler thing that Kamala is doing is completely wrong.
JED - I appreciate you and understand what we've talked about before. Your family has given to service for America. Cverybody understands your deep emotional moment here. But that's inaccurate. It was Trump's former chief of staff who brought up the Hitler thing.
That was John Kelly who brought that up. Democratic strategists are going with that. They're pushing the message out that John Kelly said Trump said that Hitler had good judgment.
MX - Never said it, Trump said.Let me tell you another story. The guy two doors away from me when I hit the wall, he said one thing to me. His wife always said he was in the Third Army, but he never said nothing. I walked in his garage - He was about my dad's age. And he said Schwarzkopf couldn't make a pimple on Patton's behind. Actually, didn't say behind. He used a different word for behind.
My neighbor. He says it's 2009. And during that Schwarzkopf thing, and he fought under Patton and he said Schwarzkopf couldn't make a pimple on Patton's behind. All right, I know this one.
You know what? This John Kelly is as bad as that other general. That's why John Kelly got fired. There's a lot of fake news going around here. You can't be calling people Hitler because that is the most hideous thing that ever happened. I watch it, I watch my uncles. I used to sit here and they closed the door and they would talk, but I didn't know what they were talking about with my dad.
But I could go with a whole big diatribe about this while, like marching over the hill and kill them.
JED - We gotta move on. Thank you for your call. Hey, you are on the air. How are you?
CALLER -It's kind of weird. So let's say the guy that made the Puerto Rico joke was saying that Puerto Rico politicians are pile a floating pile of garbage. He's referring to the politicians that run the place and not the island. So he was trying to be funny. And obviously you don't think it was funny.
JED - I understand comedy and all that. What I'm saying is, I think that the rhetoric has gone too far.
CALLER - My point is that you hear these comedians just use the most vulgar stuff on the planet, and Oh, it's funny. Sold out shows. People are getting too sensitive.
JED - Hey, I'm bringing it up. That's a question for you to answer. I'm the host. You got it. You know what you're doing. You're being me right now.
CALLER - I mean, you can have Dave Chappelle go down to the hard Rock casino. You'd be able to if you got four tickets, you'd be able to sell four tickets twice over face value on eBay. And all you're gonna hear is gay slurs. And 95 Edwards dropped. And everybody think it's funny. You know what I'm saying?
JED - They were calling Kamala Harris the Antichrist.
CALLER - .Because she was throwing people out of her rally for saying Jesus is Lord and told me to go down to the little rally down the street. Yeah, I heard that one.
JED - Here's what the New York Times says - A comic kicked off the rally by dismissing Puerto Rico as a floating island of garbage, mocked Hispanics as failing to use birth control, Jews as cheap and Palestinians as rock throwers. They called out a black man in the audience with the reference to a watermelon. Another speaker likened Vice President Kamala Harris to a prostitute with pimp handlers.
The third called her the Antichrist, and Tucker Carlson, called her the first Samoan Malaysian low IQ, former California prosecutor ever to be elected president." I mean, that's just what was said. And you can either defend it or you can say that was too far, or you could say people are too it's too sensitive. But that's the reality of the situation.
CALLER - Yeah. Well, I know one reality. That dude had that place packed last night and that is downtown New York City. Yeah, that place was packed and I think he is going to shock. I think when these votes come in, the country is going to be shocked. I think some of these blue states, oh, I think it's either going to be terrible or maybe it's going to be terribly, terribly close.
JED - It's weird because all you gotta do is win Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and you could have like over 300 electoral votes when everybody thought it was going to be so close, either Trump or Harris. Quite frankly, there's a way for her to win with like 292 pretty easily and Trump to get 312.
CALLER - I agree. I kind of think it's going to go hard one way or another. I'm not like you and saying, oh, it's going to go hard to Trump. I don't have a feel like I did in past ones, like in 2016. I'm like, yeah, Trump's going to upset. And here it goes. By the way, did you watch the bears ending last night? I'm so glad I watched the Trump rally and not the Bears.
JED - My heart is still being trampled on. Thanks for the call.
Hey, everybody, this is the JED's Journal podcast. Listen to it on Apple, Spotify, wherever you get your podcasts. Some of you may be catching this on WJOB, Am and FM. So I won't swear.

JED - I appreciate you and understand what we've talked about before. Your family has given to service for America. Cverybody understands your deep emotional moment here. But that's inaccurate. It was Trump's former chief of staff who brought up the Hitler thing.
That was John Kelly who brought that up. Democratic strategists are going with that. They're pushing the message out that John Kelly said Trump said that Hitler had good judgment.
MX - Never said it, Trump said.Let me tell you another story. The guy two doors away from me when I hit the wall, he said one thing to me. His wife always said he was in the Third Army, but he never said nothing. I walked in his garage - He was about my dad's age. And he said Schwarzkopf couldn't make a pimple on Patton's behind. Actually, didn't say behind. He used a different word for behind.
My neighbor. He says it's 2009. And during that Schwarzkopf thing, and he fought under Patton and he said Schwarzkopf couldn't make a pimple on Patton's behind. All right, I know this one.
You know what? This John Kelly is as bad as that other general. That's why John Kelly got fired. There's a lot of fake news going around here. You can't be calling people Hitler because that is the most hideous thing that ever happened. I watch it, I watch my uncles. I used to sit here and they closed the door and they would talk, but I didn't know what they were talking about with my dad.
But I could go with a whole big diatribe about this while, like marching over the hill and kill them.
JED - We gotta move on. Thank you for your call. Hey, you are on the air. How are you?
CALLER -It's kind of weird. So let's say the guy that made the Puerto Rico joke was saying that Puerto Rico politicians are pile a floating pile of garbage. He's referring to the politicians that run the place and not the island. So he was trying to be funny. And obviously you don't think it was funny.
JED - I understand comedy and all that. What I'm saying is, I think that the rhetoric has gone too far.
CALLER - My point is that you hear these comedians just use the most vulgar stuff on the planet, and Oh, it's funny. Sold out shows. People are getting too sensitive.
JED - Hey, I'm bringing it up. That's a question for you to answer. I'm the host. You got it. You know what you're doing. You're being me right now.
CALLER - I mean, you can have Dave Chappelle go down to the hard Rock casino. You'd be able to if you got four tickets, you'd be able to sell four tickets twice over face value on eBay. And all you're gonna hear is gay slurs. And 95 Edwards dropped. And everybody think it's funny. You know what I'm saying?
JED - They were calling Kamala Harris the Antichrist.
CALLER - .Because she was throwing people out of her rally for saying Jesus is Lord and told me to go down to the little rally down the street. Yeah, I heard that one.
JED - Here's what the New York Times says - A comic kicked off the rally by dismissing Puerto Rico as a floating island of garbage, mocked Hispanics as failing to use birth control, Jews as cheap and Palestinians as rock throwers. They called out a black man in the audience with the reference to a watermelon. Another speaker likened Vice President Kamala Harris to a prostitute with pimp handlers.
The third called her the Antichrist, and Tucker Carlson, called her the first Samoan Malaysian low IQ, former California prosecutor ever to be elected president." I mean, that's just what was said. And you can either defend it or you can say that was too far, or you could say people are too it's too sensitive. But that's the reality of the situation.
CALLER - Yeah. Well, I know one reality. That dude had that place packed last night and that is downtown New York City. Yeah, that place was packed and I think he is going to shock. I think when these votes come in, the country is going to be shocked. I think some of these blue states, oh, I think it's either going to be terrible or maybe it's going to be terribly, terribly close.
JED - It's weird because all you gotta do is win Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and you could have like over 300 electoral votes when everybody thought it was going to be so close, either Trump or Harris. Quite frankly, there's a way for her to win with like 292 pretty easily and Trump to get 312.
CALLER - I agree. I kind of think it's going to go hard one way or another. I'm not like you and saying, oh, it's going to go hard to Trump. I don't have a feel like I did in past ones, like in 2016. I'm like, yeah, Trump's going to upset. And here it goes. By the way, did you watch the bears ending last night? I'm so glad I watched the Trump rally and not the Bears.
JED - My heart is still being trampled on. Thanks for the call.
