00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Welcome in to the Wednesday edition of the Danodonald Show.

00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,159
Speaker 1: bid on milwaukeeauction dot com. You might remember that we

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a technical issue with the

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: normal site bid on Milwaukee dot com. So if you're

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: wondering why there are no spectacular items up for bids

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: right now at bid on Milwaukee dot com, it's because

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: they are all up at bid on milwaukeeauction dot Com.

11
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: I would strongly encourage you to get out there and

00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: to bid on as many items as you can because

13
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,720

Speaker 1: deals than right now. And here's the thing, a whole

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: lot of the items do not get any bids. That's

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: absolutely spectacular. What that means is because we have so

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: many items up for bids and because there is, let's

19
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: face it, a relatively limited number of people who actually

20
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: know about this auction, that means the deals for you

21
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,880

00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,039

Speaker 1: Jerome Powell says uncertainty surrounding the war and commodities prices,

35
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: as well as higher inflation levels, were the key reasons.

36
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: The city of Milwaukee has canceled its annual Caesar Chavez

37
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: celebration after allegations surface that the labor leader sexually assaulted

38
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: civil rights activist Dolores Huerta as well as multiple underage girls.

39
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: We'll have all the details coming up in just a

40
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: second on a truly shocking, blockbuster investigation by The New

41
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: York Times that at three twenty five you won't believe

42
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: who Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley just hired to be

43
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: his budget director. I'll give you a hint. He comes

44
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: from the single worst fiscally run organization in the city,

45
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,720

Speaker 1: evening here on the Dan o'donnald Show, Governor Ebers says

47
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: he might not sign the online sports betting bill after all.

48
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: I'll believe that when I see him no longer wanting

49
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: piles and piles of potawantamy cash for his fellow Dems

50
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,120

Speaker 1: to podcasts. The story about Caesar Chavez is truly one

65
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: of the more stunning that I could remember. The New

66
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: York Times published an investigation today detailing extensive evidence that

67
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: the late co founder and leader of the United farm

68
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: Workers groomed and sexually abused girls and women associated with

69
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: the farm worker movement over a period of years and

70
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: years and years now. That includes Chavez allegedly sexually abusing

71
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: two underage girls in the nineteen seventies. Both of those

72
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: girls have come forward their names, Anna Morgeira and Deborah Rojas.

73
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: Both of them are now sixty six. Both were in

74
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: their teens, one just thirteen years old when she says

75
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: Chavez sexually assaulted her. Both were daughters of longtime UfW

76
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: organizers and the women in this piece outlined in graphic

77
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: detail repeated sexual abuse by Chavez that occurred from around

78
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two and nineteen seventy seventy. He was in

79
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: his forties. He was, of course, already a very prominent

80
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 1: figure in the labor farm workers movement. New York Times

81
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: found supporting evidence for these accusations, as well as accusations

82
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: from several other women, including his co founder of the

83
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: UfW and one of the most prominent female labor leaders

84
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: of all time. Dolores Hlerta, told The Times in an

85
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: interview that Chavez actually sexually assaulted her twice in the

86
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties. She has never said this publicly before, she said.

87
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: The first encounter occurred in August of nineteen sixty during

88
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: a work trip to San Juan Capistrano in California. She

89
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: felt manipulated, she said, and pressured in to sex with

90
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: a hotel room. The second incident, winter nineteen ninety six

91
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: in Delano, California, involved Chavez driving her to a secluded

92
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: grape field, parking her parking their car, and then raping

93
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: her in the vehicle. She was thirty six years old.

94
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: She said she felt trapped. She said she never reported

95
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: the assault due to police hostility toward the labor movement,

96
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: as well as fears that no one within the movement

97
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: within the Union would ever believe her now. After the

98
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: article was published this morning, Wherta issued a statements confirming

99
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: her experiences and explaining why she was silent for so long.

100
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: She said, I kept this secret long enough. My silence

101
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: ends here now. She described the first instance of rape

102
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: as being manipulated and pressured into sex, said she could

103
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: not refuse Chavez as he was her boss. He was

104
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: greatly admired, he was the leader of the movement. She said.

105
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: The second incident quote against my will and in an

106
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: environment where I felt trapped. In other words, it was

107
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: sexual assault. Now, this is incredibly problematic for pretty much

108
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: every Democrat in America. Caesar Chavez, for reasons known only

109
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: to Democrats, was a labor leader, but he was a

110
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: godlike figure, almost on par with doctor Martin Luther King

111
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: Junior in the hallowed reverence that democrats pretty much Since

112
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: his rise to prominence in the nineteen seventies straight through

113
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: to his death in the mid nineteen nineties and well

114
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: passed in the thirty years since, he's been a saint

115
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: like figure on the left. Well, it turns out he

116
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: is a serial child predator. How revered was Caesar Chavez.

117
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: One of the very first things that President Biden did

118
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: when he moved into the Oval Office in twenty twenty

119
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: one was to put a bust of Caesar Shah in

120
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: a prominent position in the Oval Office. In a video

121
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, he explained that.

122
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: Chavez has inspired millions, including me. I was proud to

123
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: place the bust of his likeness in my office. So

124
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: do you walk in my office. You can't forget what

125
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: he taught us. Chavez instilled in our nation the principle

126
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: that our ambition must be broad enough to include the

127
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes.

128
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: And for our own.

129
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: We have no finer role model in Saso Chavez.

130
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: That might actually be the single worst aged statement of

131
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: the entire twenty twenties. Other than Joe Biden is fine,

132
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: He's vigorous and in great mental health. There is no

133
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: finer role model than Caesar Chavez. Yikes. Now, you might say, Okay,

134
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: this is a total surprise, This comes as a complete shock.

135
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: No.

136
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: Actually, In this New York Times investigation, UfW workers apparently

137
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: knew about this. It was an open secret that Caesar

138
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: Chavez was predatory, that he was sexually abusing, if not

139
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: outright raping women, including Dolores Huerta, including underage girls, which

140
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: means this was well known in liberal circles. In fact,

141
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: I can remember hearing rumors about this years ago. In fact,

142
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: when there were FBI files that were released on doctor

143
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King Junior that did prove that King was

144
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: a serial adulterer. Now there was some evidence in the

145
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: form of an FBI wire tap, that he was taking

146
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: part in a gang rape. It's very difficult to tell

147
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: whether or not that was actually true because the FBI,

148
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: under the direction of j Edgar Hoover at the time,

149
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: was actively trying to discredit King. But it is well

150
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: known he was a serial womanizer, and I can remember

151
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: stories coming out, Hey, Caesar Chavez actually might have been

152
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: sexually assaulting women. There was nothing that was really verifying that.

153
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: It's just sort of the things you hear from decades ago.

154
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: It's very difficult to lock this down. I actually commend

155
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: the New York Times for going after a left wing

156
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: sacred cow. Here's the problem for us here in Wisconsin.

157
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:18,359
Speaker 1: So revered is Caesar Chavez that in Milwaukee, Caesar Chavez

158
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: Drive is a prominent stretch of South sixteenth Street in

159
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: the heavily Hispanic South side of Milwaukee. In Madison, the

160
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: Madison Metropolitan School District actually has an elementary school named

161
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: Caesar Chavez Elementary. The Kenosha Unified School District has a

162
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: childhood learning center called the Caesar Chavez Learning Center. Are

163
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: any of those going to be renamed? Because you'd better

164
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: believe if years and years and years later it was

165
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: discovered that, oh, I don't know, a right wing icon

166
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: like Ronald Reagan was serially abusing women while he was

167
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: an actor, there would not be a single Ronald Reagan

168
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: high school left in America. I will give credit where

169
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: credit is due. Alder person jo Costa Zamaripa has put

170
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: out a statement already saying that her annual festival honoring

171
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: Caesar Chavez in Milwaukee is going to be canceled. She

172
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: says the City of Milwaukee's Celebration of Caesar Chavez Day

173
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: scheduled for later this month, will not be taking place,

174
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: and she says the accounts shared today by Huerta Anna

175
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: Mercuria Deborah Rojas and other survivors are devastating. The New

176
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: York Times investigation documents a pattern of sexual abuse and

177
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: rape by Caesar Chavez, including the grooming and assault of

178
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: girls as young as twelve. These women carried out enormous

179
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: pain for decades because they feared that speaking the truth

180
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: could cost the movement everything they had sacrificed to build.

181
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: That is an impossible burden and they should never have

182
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,599
Speaker 1: had to carry it. I believe them. Caesar Chavez is

183
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: contributions to the farm worker movement and to Latino civil

184
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: rights or a matter of historical record. So is this

185
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: Both things are true, and our community deserves leaders who

186
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: will say so clearly, rather than ask survivors to wait

187
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: while we process our own grief. The farm worker movement

188
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: was never one man. It was built by thousands of workers, organizers,

189
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: and families who gave their lives to the fight for

190
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: diversity and justice. To Lauris where to his courage and

191
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: moral clarity, built something that outlasts any individual. That legacy

192
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: belongs to the people. I will be joining the broader

193
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: community conversation about what it means to have Caesar Chavez

194
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: drive bear his name and I am committed to being

195
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: part of that discussion in the coming weeks. I'm just

196
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: going to spoil the ending for you, ladies and gentlemen.

197
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: Do you think Caesar Chavez Drive is going to go

198
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: back to South sixteenth Street? Do you think they're just

199
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: going to take the Caesar Chavez name off of it?

200
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: What do you think South sixteenth Street is going to

201
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: be renamed? I can already predict it. I can one

202
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: hundred percent predict it. In fact, you can take this

203
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: to the bank. You can bet on the prediction markets

204
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: on Calshi. I will set the Calshi prediction market. It

205
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: is going to be Da Da Da Dolores Where to drive.

206
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: You can see this coming from a mile away because

207
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: the last thing you can see it already in the

208
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: left wing older person jo Costa Zamaripa's statement, Oh yes,

209
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: it was all about Latino civil rights. Never mind that

210
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: the guy in charge of everything was a serial pedophile

211
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: and rapist, and oh yes, I have not lost the

212
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: plot here. Liberals have spent the past nine months calling

213
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: conservatives pedophile defenders. I'm saying right now, if you are

214
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: not willing to publicly disavow Caesar Chavez, if I can

215
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: go back in your ex account and oh, by the way,

216
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: I did for pretty much every prominent Democrat in Wisconsin

217
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: praising Caesar Chavez. If you don't come out right now,

218
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: I will be forced to forever identify you as a

219
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: pedophile defender. Now, there is actual evidence here that Caesar

220
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: Chavez was a serial pedophile. There is no evidence whatsoever

221
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is a pedophile, that Donald Trump did

222
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: anything illegal with Jeffrey Epstein. But it hasn't stopped the

223
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: people who have been worshiping Caesar Chavez since apparently it

224
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: was an open secret back in the seventies that he

225
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: was stooping every woman in the movement, including the daughters

226
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: perversely of his fellow union organizers. If you're worshiping Caesar

227
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: Chavez but calling someone like me a pedophile defender, boy,

228
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: oh boy, have you got something screwed up in your brain? Now,

229
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: I will give a big caveat here. This story just

230
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: popped this morning, This investigation just broke this morning. But

231
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: so far, so far, the only person it seems to say, hey,

232
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: we have got to do something about this, Joe Costa Samaripa. Now,

233
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: do you think that leftists will abandon Caesar Chavez Day.

234
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,359
Speaker 1: Did you realize Caesar Chaves Day is actually a holiday

235
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: in several states. There has been a push for years

236
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: to make it a federal holiday. Do you think that

237
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: they're going to just aband No, They're just going to

238
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: rename it Dolores where To Day. Now, this is nothing

239
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: against Dolores where To I'm sure she's a fine woman.

240
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: Took a whole lot of guts to stand up and say, yeah,

241
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: the liberal saint who every lefty has deified for fifty

242
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: years was a serial predator and actually raped me on

243
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: multiple occasions. But what's gonna happen is they're just going

244
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,239
Speaker 1: to rename everything Dolores where Today. They're going to disappear

245
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: Caesar Chavez, most likely like they disappeared Bill Cosby. Have

246
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: you noticed that you just cannot watch the Cosby Show anyway?

247
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: I was one of the weird kids in the nineteen

248
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: eighties who never watched The Cosby Show, who did not

249
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: like the Cosby Show, even though I was a fan

250
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: of Bill Cosby's comedy, primarily because do you realize Bill

251
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: Cosby and I share the same birthday July twelfth. Yeah,

252
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: that's why, even as a little kid, I always sort

253
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: of admired Bill Cosby because I read in a book

254
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: we shared the same birthday. But he's just disappeared. He's

255
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: just gone. Same thing's gonna happen to Caesar Shavez, unless,

256
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: of course, the powers that be in the media decide, well,

257
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: the message the idea of Caesar Chavez is just to

258
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: be Yes, yes, his personal life was checkered, you know,

259
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: with the child rapes and all, but the idea that

260
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: the Latino civil rights, the labor movement. Why is it

261
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: that we allowed leftists in this country to have multiple

262
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: days where we are celebrating the labor movement of the Libs.

263
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: Oh yes, oh, they they got us the it's it's

264
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: it's folks. Pretty much every holiday was invented. I'm going

265
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: to say Post nineteen fifty by the Libs has in

266
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: some way been just a celebration of boomer liberalism. And

267
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: unfortunately for the boomer Libs, one of their great heroes,

268
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: Caesar Chavez, was outed to be a truly despicable human being.

269
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: So which Democrats are engaged in Caesar Chavez worship? Will

270
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: out them? Come up next? After months and months and

271
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: months of calling pretty much every conservative a pedophile, defender,

272
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: or worse, a pedophile themselves. Liberals have to reckon with

273
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: the fact now that one of their great heroes, Caesar Chavez,

274
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: was outed in an investigation by the New York Times,

275
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: of all places, not exactly National Review or Breitbart, to

276
00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: be a pedophile himself, sexually assaulting twelve and thirteen year

277
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: old girls, daughters of his allies in the Latino civil

278
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: rights and labor movements, as well as the repeated rape

279
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: of Dolores Huerta, a civil rights leader in that same

280
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: movement who helped form the United farm Workers With Caesar Shaves,

281
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Dan O'Donnell Show. It is a

282
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: tour de force of truth. The truth is every single

283
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: Democratic gubernatorial candidate, by their own definition, is a pedophile defender.

284
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party of Wisconsin a bunch of pedophile defenders.

285
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: Francesca Hown, the foul mouthed front runner for the Democrat

286
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: gubernatorial nomination, pedophile defender. Here is a tweet Caesar Shaves

287
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: Day twenty twenty three. Today we celebrate the life and

288
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 1: legacy of Caesar Shave as a hero of the farm

289
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: worker rights movement who fought hirelessly for social justice and equality.

290
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: His legacy continues to inspire us to fight for a

291
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: better world. Now, will she take that tweet down? Will

292
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: she publicly disavow Caesar Chavez? Will she stand with abuse survivors?

293
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: Because she has been tweeting an awful lot. She has

294
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: been shooting her big dumb mouth off an awful lot

295
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein and Republicans, including Republicans

296
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 1: like your humble host. Speaking of big dumb mouths, how

297
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: about the second leading candidate for the Democratic nomination. Here

298
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: is Mendela Barnes tweeting about speaking at the Caesar Chavez

299
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: celebration at the Marcus Center. Thank you to all who

300
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: attended the Caesar Chavez celebration. He took no days off

301
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: in the fight for justice and believed his work would

302
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: lead to change. Let's remember and honor Caesar Chavez his

303
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: legacy as inspiring examples of the possibilities when we persevere. Oh,

304
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: I'm imagining Caesar Shavez persevering, persevering very very hard to

305
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: get at those sweet, sweet labor leader women and their daughters.

306
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: Now is Mandela Barnes going to be standing up against

307
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: Caesar Chavez's abuse? How about Sarah Rodriguez, she has really

308
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: leaned into the Latino heritage that she doesn't have. She

309
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: married a Latino guy. She posted a quote from Caesar Chavez.

310
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: How about this talk is cheap. It is the way

311
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: we organize and use our lives every day that tells

312
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: us what we believe in. Today, we honor Caesar Chavez's

313
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: legacy of organizing for dignity and equality for all. I

314
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: don't think he respected the dignity of Dolores Huerta or

315
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: those two teenage and preteen girls that he was raping.

316
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: And we also, Sarah Rodriguez says, recommit ourselves to the

317
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: unfinished work see say Pwaite, which is, of course yes

318
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: we can, and Espanol the only one. And I will

319
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: give credit where credit is due, even though she is

320
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: a pretty rotten human being. And I mean that sincerely.

321
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: Senator Kelda Royce, who, honest to goodness, years ago, attempted

322
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: to fundraise off of the fact that her colleague, State

323
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: Senator Andre Jacques, a Republican, was severely ill and possibly

324
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: dying of COVID nineteen. She was actually criticized in the

325
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: Journal Sentinel, which means, you know, it's really bad when

326
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: the Journal sentinel ists saying, hey, this is pretty ghoulish

327
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: behavior from a Democrat state senator. It's pretty dog gone,

328
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: ghulish behavior. I have got to give credit to Senator

329
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: call de Royce. She has been worshiping Caesar Chavez for years,

330
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: like the other Democratic gubernatorial candidates, but she actually posted

331
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: a tweet about an hour ago. These revelations are heinous,

332
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: and the survivors deserve justice and healing. While we cannot

333
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: go back in time to protect the women and girls

334
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: he victimized, we can stand with them now in refusing

335
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: to honor their rapist, which means I can count on

336
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: Kelder Roys to stand with me in demanding that every

337
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: single Caesar Chavez Drive in Wisconsin is renamed. There's apparently

338
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: a rec center in Racine named after Caesar Chavez. Pretty much,

339
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: it's sort of like Democrats just renamed everything in black

340
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: neighborhoods after Martin Luther King Junior following his assassination. Following

341
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: the death of Caesar Chavez, they pretty much just named

342
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: everything after Caesar Chavez. Everything in Hispanic neighborhoods became Caesar

343
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: Chavez Drive, it became Caesar Chavez High School. Well, what

344
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: are we going to do now and again, I am

345
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: willing to work with Democrats to suggest new names for

346
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: South sixteenth Street. For Caesar Chavez Elementary School in the

347
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: Madison Metropolitan School District, that's a particularly tough one. You

348
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: definitely don't want any elementary schools named after Caesar Chavez.

349
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: There is a learning center down in the Kenosha Unified

350
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: School District called Caesar Chavez Learning Center. I'm sure there

351
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: are dozens and dozens of others. Wherever there is an

352
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: Hispanic population, Democrats felt the need to patronize them by

353
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: naming something after Caesar Chavez. And look, I understand these

354
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: allegations just came out this morning, but my goodness for

355
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: the exact same people who were streaking to the high

356
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: heavens about Donald Trump being a pedophile because his name

357
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: showed up in the Epstein files. If they don't immediately

358
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: stoped the Caesar Chavez worship, I am going to have

359
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: no choice but to label all of them pedophile defenders

360
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: or pedophile lovers. I don't think there is a conservative

361
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: alive who has been on social media ever since the

362
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: disastrous rollout of the Epstein files right after the July

363
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: fourth holiday last year, who has not been called a

364
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: pedophile defender because of completely bogus bunk and thoroughly debunked

365
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 1: allegations against Donald Trump. Did you know that there are

366
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: now seven different people who have testified before the House

367
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: Oversight Committee or various other committees under oath and said

368
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: Donald Trump did nothing illegal with Jeffrey Epstein, that there

369
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: is no indication that there was any criminal activity whatsoever.

370
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: In fact, there is no relationship between Trump and Epstein

371
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: after it was revealed that Epstein was a purv. In fact,

372
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: the evidence is that Trump actually contacted the first investigator

373
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: who looked in to Jeffrey Epstein's perv nous and thanked

374
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: him for doing so, and that Trump actually kicked out Epstein,

375
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: kicked him out of the marl Lago club because shocker

376
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: Epstein was being a perv to the young women who

377
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: were hired to work at the Mara Lago spot. So

378
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

379
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: We worship a pedophile, right, is that what liberals have

380
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: been saying for months and months and months now. Well,

381
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: if you still are celebrating Caesar Chavez Day, if you

382
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: still are celebrating all of the things named after Caesar Chavez.

383
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: If you are still celebrating Caesar Chavez as a modern

384
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: liberal saint, and I'm sorry. Rules are rules, and you

385
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: made the rules. You are a pedophile defender. David Crowley

386
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: makes a budget director Higher and it is hilarious and

424
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: on Milwaukee Auction. Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley has appointed

425
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: Nick Sinrom to head the County's Office of Strategy, Budget

426
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: and Performance. Now, where did Nick Sinrom used to work

427
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: at Milwaukee Public Schools? He didn't just work there. He

428
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: wasn't a teacher, he wasn't a principal. He is the

429
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: former director of Financial Planning and Budget Services. Now, under

430
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: his oversight, the district amassed massive deficits and repeatedly failed

431
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: to meet required disclosures. In fact, there is a projected

432
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: budget shortfall of four hundred and twenty million dollars for

433
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: MPs by the twenty thirty twenty thirty one school year

434
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: if it's left unchecked. Now, the district currently faces a

435
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: forty plus million dollar budget deficit. And this necessitated the

436
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: Milwaukee County or the Milwaukee school Board making massive cuts

437
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: to non teaching positions, to central office positions. There are

438
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: some teaching positions that unfortunately had to be cut. This

439
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: was the guy who oversaw this. Now, it wasn't just

440
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: that there was a massive deficit. There was massive overspending.

441
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: When this guy was running the budget, the Milwaukee Public

442
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: Schools School District repeatedly withheld required financial disclosures to the

443
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: Department of Public Instruction or DPI. DPI actually withheld millions

444
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars, about forty forty two million dollars

445
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 1: at one point, because there were just chronic delays in

446
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: making these required reports, and the district was so bad

447
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: in reporting these fiscal missteps. It certainly looked to me

448
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 1: like they were trying to hide the massive budget deficits

449
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: that they were running, even as they were getting nearly

450
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: a billion dollars a billion and they got seven hundred

451
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: and seventy five million dollars in federal esser grants. This

452
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: was COVID nineteen relief money, and that money was being

453
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 1: paid out from pretty much straight March twenty twenty until

454
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: I believe fall of twenty twenty four was the last

455
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: eser grant payment. They managed to squander all that. They

456
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: went to referendum in twenty twenty three. They excuse me,

457
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, they got two hundred and fifty million

458
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: dollars in the spring of twenty twenty four, and wouldn't

459
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: you know it, they refused, and so did DPI. DPI

460
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: refuse to inform the public before it went to vote

461
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: to give MPs the most fiscally irresponsible school district in

462
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: the entire state, if not the entire country two hundred

463
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollars more. They did not say that, hey,

464
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: MPs has not been filling out its required disclosures. Crowley

00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: sees all of this and says, yes, this is the

466
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: guy I want to be running my Department of Strategy,

467
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: Budget and Performance. Was there a good strategy at MPs?

468
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: Seems like there wasn't, since DPI was forced to crack

469
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: down on them and issue a corrective action plan before

470
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: they would get their sweet, sweet state cash. Was there

471
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: good strategy? Was there good budgeting here? Well? Obviously not,

472
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: because even though this guy was responsible for more than

473
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: a billion dollars, folks, a billion dollars over and above

474
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: property tax levies over and above State eight. Do you

475
00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: realize MPs gets roughly eighteen thousand dollars per student per

476
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: year and yet this guy was so bad at budgeting.

477
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: Nick surnam that they ran a forty three million dollar

478
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: budget deficit. Third part of this Office of Strategy, Budget

479
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: and Performance performance, would you say this guy was able

480
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: to perform in his role as the official who was

481
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: overseeing budget? Of course not, of course, this guy should

482
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: be nowhere near a public budget. But David Crowley, who

483
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: wants to be the governor of Wisconsin, says, yep, this

484
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: is the guy that we want leading our Office of

485
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: Strategy and Planning and budgeting. Yes, what a great hire.

486
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: What does this tell you about David Crowley's judgment? What

487
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: does this tell you about the type of people that

488
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: David Crowley would bring with him to the Governor's mansion?

489
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: And frankly, since no Democrats appear to be raising a

490
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: stink about the fact that the single worst person Crowley

491
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: could have possibly hired in the city dy of Milwaukee

492
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: has been hired, what do you think this says about

493
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: all Democrats judgment? I'm telling you, folks, it is impossible

494
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: to fail anywhere but upwards when you are a connected

495
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: lib classical Conservatism contemporary style. This is the Dan o'donald show.

496
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: Mail in ballotsar starting to go out ahead of the

497

498
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: we are very proud here at the Dan o'donald Show

499
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: to introduce an unveil put online the state's ultimate Conservative

500
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:46,840

Speaker 1: all organized by county, an interactive map for you. Trust me,

502
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 1: it is going to be all over the internet. It

503
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: is part of a broader digital initiative that I have

504
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: been working on for a long time time, and we

505
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: are going to unveil on Monday. I'm so excited to

506
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: bring this to you, especially since I believe this is

507
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: going to be a very, very valuable thing for conservatives.

508
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 1: Look for the Ultimate Conservative Voter Guide online. Of course,

509
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: I will be tweeting about it. I will be posting

510
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: on Facebook on Instagram all day long, as we are

511
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: once again launching the state's largest early vote drive, in

512
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: which we are going to be trying to count up

513
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: as many early votes as we could possibly bank ahead

514
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: of that state Supreme Court election, ahead of those municipal elections.

515
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: We will of course be talking all about those municipal

516
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: elections and reminding you to vote early, especially since a

517
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: whole lot of you are going to be gone on

518
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: spring break, although yeah, I think most people are going

519
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: to be gone. Easter is the fifth. The thing about

520
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: the spring election in Wisconsin, it is always right around Easter,

521
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: so I think most people, well I'm not sure. Actually,

522
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: my kids have spring break the week before Easter, and

523
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of the more common one in Wisconsin.

524
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: But a number of people have the kids' spring break

525
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: after Easter the week after Easter. That's how I always

526
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: had it growing up. That Again, I went to a

527
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: Catholic school, so we had like Holy Thursday and Good

528
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: Friday off and it was like Christmas. For the Easter

529
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: break was about a week and a half. It was fantastic.

530
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: It was just as long as Christmas Break was most years.

531
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: But if you do and you are going to be

532
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: out of town and you are not going to be

533
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: able to get to the polls, make sure you vote

534
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 1: early and go armed. With the state's ultimate conservative voter

535
00:35:46,800 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: guide coming online on Monday, he proffered dangerous because he's evil.

536
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 5: America signed not to name the unhinged liberal of the day,

537
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 5: and it is none other than Democrat House Member Jamie Raskin,

538
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 5: who said during a hearing today that some of America's

539
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 5: greatest founding fathers were in fact illegal immigrants.

540
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, invoking Tom Payne, who was an undocumented immigrant who

541
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 6: came to this land in seventeen seventy four, two years

542
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 6: before the Revolution, and wrote common Sense.

543
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: Tom Payne, Tom Tom pay t Payne, we call him, Wait,

544
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 1: Thomas Payne. Has anybody ever called it Tom Payne? Okay,

545
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: good old, good old Tommy Pete. Well, Jim Jordan, congressman

546
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: from Ohio, had to set the record straight about old

547
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: Tom Payne.

548
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 7: Member said, I think his open sentence was he said

549
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 7: Thomas Paine was an illegal immigrant. My understanding was mister

550
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 7: Paine was born in the UK, came to America then

551
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 7: a British colleague in seventeen seventy four. So I was

552
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 7: just struggling to figure out how he was.

553
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 6: Oh, I didn't say he was an illegal immigrant. I

554
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 6: said he was an undocumented immigrant, just like Thomas Jefferson's family.

555
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 6: Was what most of our ancestors did not arrive here

556
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 6: with documents.

557
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: They didn't need documents. They were citizens of the British Empire,

558
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: they were from Britain. America was a British colony. It was,

559
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: it was would be like going from one state to

560
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: another state. You didn't need your papers. I love that

561
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: he said. I never said he was an illegal immigrant.

562
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: I said he was an undocumented immigrant. Jamie Raskin is

563
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: your unhinged Liberal of the day. We check in with

564

00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: my acl and my meniscus in my left knee while

578
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: playing basketball with my younger son at the gym. A

579
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. It was actually the day the

580
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: Iran strikes started Operation Epic Fury. In fact, the only

581
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: person who had a worse day that day, February twenty eighth,

582
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: was actually the Ayatola comedy. I mean, I was lying

583
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: on the ground in just incredible pain. After I was

584
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: playing basketball with my so I went up for a

585
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: jump shot, went back down, and just my leg was

586
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 1: like it wasn't even there. You know, the first thing

587
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: my son said to me, he goes, Dad, are you

588
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: all right? Are you all right? He goes, at least

589
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,959
Speaker 1: you made the shot, Dad. Oh thanks, buddy, Not really

590
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: caring too much about that. But no, I'm just I'm

591
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: not going to be able to the surgery scheduled for

592
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: mid May, and I'm gonna be on crutches for I

593
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 1: think three weeks, and then my knee is going to

594
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: be immobilized for another three weeks. Sough. Gonna be a

595
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: rough one. Gonna be a rough one. I've got a

596
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: riding mower, but the problem is your leg has to

597
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: be completely straight. My doctor told me I probably won't

598
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: be able to drive for like six weeks. So I

599
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: hope my wife knows that it's going to be like

600
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: driving Miss Danny for at least a month and a half,

00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: These deals are absolutely incredible and I'm telling you, folks,

620
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: there are not a whole lot of bids. Yet this

621
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: changes like tomorrow. The later it gets, people just kind

622
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: of wait and they're sort of eye en up an item,

623
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: they put it on their watch list or whatever, and

624
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: then towards the end of the auction they think they

625
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: can sneak in and like pop in a bid and

626
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: try to get up there. You can set it up

627
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: so you can automatically go up to a certain maximum.

628
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: It's just like eBay. Basically, you will be notified if

629
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: you're the high bidder, you'll be notified if you're outbid.

Speaker 1: is the daily Trump Day.

634
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna win so much you may even get tired.

635
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: Trump just keeps waiting. It is a win for the administration.

636
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 8: It's also a big win for the United States.

637
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 1: We have to keep winning. We have to win more.

638
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna win more. President Trump spent his afternoon at

639
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: Dover Air Force Base attending the dignified transfer of the

640
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: six airmen killed in a refueling plane crash in Iraka

641
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: as part of Operation Epic Fury. The Vice President JD.

642
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: Vans was in Michigan today rallying voters ahead of the

643
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: midterms and calling on the Senate to pass this Save America.

644
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,879
Speaker 7: We certainly want to make elections safe and secure number one,

645
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 7: because we want to make sure that the will of

646
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 7: the voters is actually recognized and respected. But think about this.

647
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 9: You know we've got.

648
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 7: I don't know how many people, a lot of people

649
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 7: in this room. Let's say, for every single person here

650
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 7: in illegal alien shows up and votes in a Michigan

651
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 7: election that isn't just fraudulent, and that isn't just illegal.

652
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 7: That steals your right to vote away from you, because

653
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 7: then your vote counts for less. If you've leave as

654
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 7: I do, that the American people are sovereign in their

655
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 7: own country, then you have to believe that their vote

656
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 7: should be protected. And the only way to fully protect

657
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 7: their vote is to prevent fraudsters from coming and vote

658
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:14,280
Speaker 7: in American elections.

659
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: Amen. Amen, couldn't have said it any better myself. The

660
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: state began debate on the bill today. It bases an

661
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: uncertain future because it will almost certainly be filibustered by

662
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: Democrat defect. It will certainly be philibustered by Democrats. Republicans

663
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: have to decide whether they are going to amend the

664
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: filibuster rule in order to actually force a vote on

665
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: the bill itself. Today, Director of National Intelligence Tulsei Gabbard

666
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: testified during a Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing on

667
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: Worldwide Threats, which of course focused almost entirely on Iraq.

668
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 8: The icsses that Operation Epic Fury is advancing fundamental change

669
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,720
Speaker 8: in the region that began with Hamas's attack on Israel

670
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 8: on October seventh, twenty twenty three, and continued with the

671
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 8: Twelve Day War last year, resulting in weakening Iran and

672
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 8: its proxies. The ICSS is the regime in Iran appears

673
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 8: to be intact, but largely degraded due to attacks on

674
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 8: its leadership and military capabilities. Its conventional military power projection

675
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 8: capabilities have largely been destroyed, leaving limited options now.

676
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: At that same hearing, Senator John Cornyn asked CIA Director

677
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: John Ratcliffe about the resignation of Joe Kent. He was

678
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: the director of the Counter Terrorism Center, and in his

679
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: resignation letter, Kent said Iran no longer posed a significant threat.

680
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: Hornett asked the CIA director about that state.

681
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 4: The head of the National counter Terrorism Center resigned, saying

682
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 4: that Iran did not represent an imminent threat to the

683
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 4: United States. Is there anything to indicate that Iran had

684
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:56,279
Speaker 4: ceased in its nuclear ambitions or in its desire to

685
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:01,720
Speaker 4: continue to build ballistic missiles capable of threatening American troops

686
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 4: and allies in the Middle East?

687
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 7: The Senator no, In fact, that intelligence reflects the contrary.

688
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,839
Speaker 1: So you disagree with mister kemp I do.

689
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 4: I would think any fair minded assessment of the situation,

690
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 4: even based on open sources, would reflect the danger Iran

691
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 4: pose the regime poses to the United States.

692
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think common sense would also reveal the threat

693
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: that the Iranian regime posed to the United States. Ratcliffe

694
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: today also confirmed Iran has been seeking intelligence assistance from

695
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 1: its allies Russia and China. Now this comes as the

696
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: US and Israel Israel militaries continue to just pummel the

697
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: remnants of the Ayatolas regime with air strikes. There were

698
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 1: actually some fireworks today at the confirmation hearing of President

699
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: Trump's pick to lead the Department of Homeland Security, Mark

700
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: Wayne Mullen. Senator Ran Paul took issue with Mullen several

701
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:02,879
Speaker 1: years ago, saying that he unders why Paul's neighbor attacked him.

702
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: You might remember that Paul was seriously beaten by his

703
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: radicalized left wing neighbor, and Paul today called Mullen a

704
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: liar and said he was unfit to sir because of

705
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,439
Speaker 1: that remark. He also accused Mullen of not saying any

706
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: of this to his face. Well today, Mullen responded.

707
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 10: Sir, I think there's everybody in this room knows that

708
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 10: I'm very blunt and direct to the point, and if

709
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 10: i have something to say, I'll say directly to your face.

710
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 10: If you recall back in your back in my house days,

711
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 10: we actually did have this conversation because remarks that I've made.

712
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: You were in a room.

713
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 10: I simply addressed that. I said I could understand because

714
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 10: of the behavior you were having that I got to

715
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 10: understand why your neighbor, why the neighbor did what he did.

716
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,439
Speaker 10: As far as my terms, the snake in the grass, Sir,

717
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 10: I work around this room to try to fix problems.

718
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 10: I've worked with many people in this room. Seems like

719
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 10: you fight Republicans more than you work with us. I

720
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 10: did address those remarks, I did explain your gimmicks by

721
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 10: the amendment you put forth, And as far as me

722
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 10: saying that I vote violence, I don't. I don't think

723
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 10: anybody should be hit by surprise. I don't like that.

724
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 10: But if I do have something to say, everybody in

725
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 10: this room knows, I'll come straight to you. I'll say

726
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 10: it publicly and i'll say it privately, but I'll never

727
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 10: say it behind your back.

728
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: Now. Paul then confronted Mullen because Mullin, he said, just

729
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: refuse to apologize for making that remark in the first time.

730
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 11: You offer no apology, sir, And you offer no apology

731
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 11: today and no regrets.

732
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 1: Uh, haven't. I don't need the word apologize.

733
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 11: Haven't heard the word regret. Haven't heard I misspoke and

734
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 11: it was heated, and I made a mistake. Actually any

735
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 11: of those words.

736
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 10: Sir, I actually it wasn't. He didn't, And I'm not

737
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 10: apologizing for point.

738
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:50,760
Speaker 1: Not your good or goodn't.

739
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 11: So you're you're jolly well fine, and you want the

740
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 11: American public and the people up here to vote that

741
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,759
Speaker 11: may or may not vote for you, to know that

742
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:01,720
Speaker 11: you supported the felonious violent attack on me from behind.

743
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 10: I did not say I supported it. I said understood it.

744
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I guess that's settled. If confirmed, Mullen will

745
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: succeed Christy Noam as DHS secretary. Of course, the Department

746
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security has faced a partial shutdown because Democrats

747
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: have refused to fund it over concerns about ICE, even

748
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: though ICE is fully funded through the end of President

749
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: Trump's term thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill. That

750
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:33,640

Speaker 1: even consider him to be on the right. He's just

770
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: more of a conservative in the mold of a comedian,

771
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: in the mold of Joe Rogan. But everybody is supposedly

772
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: at each other starts. Candace Owens, that's the big one.

773
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: Oh crazy, Candace. They are all at each other stretch.

774
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: Did you hear what? And I have avoided this, folks.

775
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: I have avoided this because it is devolved to the

776
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: point where Meghan Kelly literally said Mark Levin, who can

777
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: be heard on these great radio stations as well as

778
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: seen on Fox News, the radio host very staunch defender

779
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 1: of President Trump and Israel. She said, and I quote,

780
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: all right, I'm gonna use a kind she can I

781
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 1: say this, Meghan Kelly Meghan Kelly, Fox News NBC like

782
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: the the Internet's mom. I think she refers to herself

783
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: as she says, Mark Levin has a micro mini Mark

784
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: if you catch my drift like it's really really really small,

785
00:50:55,280 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: like his ballistic missile is. Okay, you get my drift, right,

786
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: you get my drift. This is where we're at in

787
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 1: conservative discourse. Really really, I've avoided commenting on this because,

788
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: quite frankly, this reality TV show bull To quote my

789
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: good friend Jay Webber, whose podcast starts on April seven,

790
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: do you think do you think he and Belling are

791
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 1: gonna go back and forth? They're just gonna be sniping

792
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: at each other about who's real maga because they're gonna

793
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: have two different pots. No, of course, not because they're

794
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: grown ups, because they're adults, because they're actually serious human

795
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 1: beings who have serious opinions about serious issues. I would

796
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: like to see you imagine first thing Webber does when

797
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: he comes out. He says, you know, Dan O'Donnell's got

798
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 1: a micro mini Dan, just so you know, just so

799
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 1: everybody's aware. It's just so juvenile. So I have avoided

800
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,720
Speaker 1: talking about this because, as my friend Jay Webber says

801
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: bullplop right. Nobody cares about this stuff except the people involved,

802
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: and that's why they keep talking about it. One thing

803
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:19,240
Speaker 1: people love talking about it's themselves. Hence why I spent

804
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: like four minutes talking about how bad my knee hurts,

805
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: and let me tell you, folks, my knee hurts really,

806
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: really badly. But there has been a push by people

807
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,439
Speaker 1: in this sort of alt right, the people who want

808
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 1: to define for themselves what MAGA is. There's been this

809
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: push that the Iran war has been just a complete failure,

810
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: that MAGA has abandoned Trump, that Trump has killed MAGA.

811
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: It is unfortunate. It's impossible not to see the undercurrent

812
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: of anti Semitism when they're all saying, well, it's Israel,

813
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: it's those Zionists. They've got blackmail on Trump, and Trump

814
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: is just doing their bidding because it's Israel and Zionists

815
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: to secretly control the world. Why don't you just say

816
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 1: it's the Jews, like can That's why you gotta respect

817
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: Nick Fuentes, like his anti Semitism, His hate is just

818
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 1: like out there right in the right, in your face,

819
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: speaking of micro you know what, Nick Fuentes. Nick Fuentes

820
00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: most famous as one of the seventy two virgins that

821
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: the Ayatola Hamani saw once America bombed him on February

822
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: twenty eighth. It's insane. MAGA has not abandoned Trump. MAGA

823
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: does not believe that this is somehow a war that

824
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been fought. And the director of the Counterintelligence Center,

825
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 1: Joe Kent, who himself is half nuts his resignation. Of course,

826
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: he's making the rounds on all of these podcasts, on

827
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 1: Megan Kelly, on Tucker Carlson, on Candace Owens, and just

828
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,280
Speaker 1: so we're clear, folks, I have met most of these people.

829
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson could not have been kinder or nicer. He

830
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: talked with my family for way longer than he should,

831
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 1: like my entire extended family could not have been more gracious.

832
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: We were meeting at a MacIvor Institute event some years ago.

833
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: Candace Owens had me on her show, I had her

834
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: on my show. I mean it like, I don't know

835
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: what to tell you. Megan Kelly, I don't believe I've

836
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 1: ever met seems like a nice enough woman. But the

837
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: idea that they're pushing that somehow the Iran war is

838
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 1: destined to failure, that it is fracturing the MAGA movement,

839
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: that it is going to destroy any chance Conservatives have

840
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: of holding on to the Senate. I think most people

841
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: think that the House is already lost in the midterms.

842
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: I myself am not one of them. I believe it's

843
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: going to be an uphill battle. But the biggest advantage

844
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 1: that Republicans have is Democrats are freaking crazy. The problem, though,

845
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: is there is an increasingly crazy, conspiratorial and yes I'm

846
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: going to say it, sort of broadly and vaguely anti

847
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: Semitic movement amongst the podcast right that is trying to

848
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,320
Speaker 1: convince you of something that is completely and totally false. Well,

849
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: what we do here on the Dan o'donalds Show is

850
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: not just say things are completely false, but thoroughly debunk them.

851
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,879
Speaker 1: And you'd better believe I'm gonna do just that. When

852
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: The Dan o'donald Show returns in just three minutes, classical

853
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 1: conservatism and actual conservatism, not neo right insanity. It is

854
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,280
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show, and folks, I take no joy

855
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: in this because, quite frankly, I loved Tucker Carlson on

856
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 1: Fox News. I thought he did the absolute best show

857
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: on that network, and I didn't even think it was close,

858
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: because he did his research. His producers put together a

859
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:21,919
Speaker 1: step by step just thorough evisceration of whatever the left

860
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: wing talking point was that day. Unfortunately, when Tucker was

861
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 1: let go from Fox News and he was free from

862
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: the editorial guard rails of a major news network and

863
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: he started his own podcast network, he veered into a

864
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 1: dangerous place I like to call crazy down, in which

865
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,880
Speaker 1: everything was a conspiracy. You could sort of see it coming.

866
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,320
Speaker 1: On Fox News. He did an entire show on how

867
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: John F. Kennedy was killed by I don't know, the Teamsters, Castro,

868
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: the Chinese, the Ruskies, LBG, the mafia, all of them.

869
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,319
Speaker 1: They just all conspired to kill John F. Kennedy, who

870
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 1: shot fifty five different times. That's an old Onion joke,

871
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: by the way, from one of the funniest books I

872
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: think I have ever read. It's called Our Dumb Century.

873
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: It came out probably about twenty five years ago, and

874
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 1: it was like the Onion headlines for the entire century

875
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety to nineteen ninety nine. This was back when

876
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: the Onion was the king of satire. But Tucker is

877
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: a Kennedy conspiracist, and a lot of people are. I mean,

878
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: this was like the big conspiracy if, but Tucker dives

879
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: into Kem Trail's, he dives into just Alex Jones territory.

880
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 4: Right.

881
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: What he is doing now is frankly disturbing, because you'd

882
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: better believe that. What are you say? He's a smart

883
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: enough guy, so too is Megan Kelly. She is a

884
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: smart enough woman and a good enough broadcaster to not

885
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 1: come right out and say the Jews secretly run the

886
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: world and they're leading Trump around by the nose and

887
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: forcing him to bomb Iran because they control the world

888
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: with their money, with their evil Jew money. That's what

889
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: they mean. There's just no other way around it. I'm sorry,

890
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: but I've listened to enough of this crap. Candace Owens

891
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: is the worst Candace is. She should change her name

892
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: to Candace Fuentes. That's how anti Semitics she's got. They

893
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 1: are all trying to convince you that the Iran strike

894
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury has been a massive failure, that Trump

895
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:46,520
Speaker 1: never wanted to do this. Do you realize there is

896
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: video of Donald Trump from like nineteen eighty talking about

897
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: how you cannot let this new terror regime in Iran,

898
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: which at the time was holding four hundred American hostages,

899
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: or they were holding the hostages for four hundred and

900
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 1: forty four days. Excuse me. He's been remarkably consistent. Do

901
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: you know what he said on the campaign trail when

902
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: he was running for president in twenty twenty four, Yes,

903
00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, obviously make America great. Do you know what

904
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: he said about Iran specifically quote I'm going to bomb

905
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: the bleep out of them. That is a direct quote

906
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,480
Speaker 1: from Donald Trump at one of his rallies. He's been

907
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: remarkably consistent. It's not bb nettin Yahoo running this nefarious

908
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: conspiracy because now America has to fight Israel's wars, and

909
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: now American brave men and women have to die because

910
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: Israel is secretly running things. Do you, honest to God

911
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: think Donald Trump the man who just went in served

912
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 1: an arrest warrant against Nicholas Maduro by shutting down the

913
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: air defenses and apparently most of the electrical grid in

914
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Caracas using high powered sonic weapons, the most advanced military

915
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: technology the world has ever seen, probably by several decades.

916
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: Do you really think that guy we talk about Mark

917
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 1: Levin's micro You know what, the guy with the biggest

918
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: swinging you know what in world politics, you think he's

919
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 1: gonna be led around by Israel. Of course, not Trump's

920
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: national intelligence team a judge that Iran was absolutely an

921
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: imminent threat. They were taken out. The reality is Iran

922
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:40,760
Speaker 1: has been fighting a war against American killing Americans for

923
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: nearly five decades, and the only president in any of

924
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: that time, Reagan included he was preoccupied with the Soviets,

925
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: to be fair, the only president to ever do a

926
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: damn thing about it is Donald Trump. So the podcast

927
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: right is convincing you, or at least trying to convince you,

928
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 1: that this war is just splintering the movement, that there

929
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: are millions of mega conservatives who just aren't going to

930
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: show up in vote. They have just abandoned Donald Trump.

931
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,479
Speaker 1: This is it. It is over. I'm getting texts from

932
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: people saying, well, first of all, it was the terrorists.

933
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: It was oh my god, the terriffs. Trump has insane.

934
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: I've lost all respect for him. Now it's the Iran War.

935
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: Trump is done because of the Iran War. Well, they're

936
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: listening to the lowest common denominator, a baby step above

937
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: the Alex Jones crowd is now glomb on to Candice

938
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: Owens and Tucker and Megan. But damn, there must be

939
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: millions of people who think like this right, wrong, wrong.

940
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 1: Guess what percent of MAGA identified Conservative Republicans support Trump?

941
01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:01,479
Speaker 1: Just guess what percentage? What percentage do you think people

942
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: identify as Mega America? First shut down the border to

943
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 1: port illegal alien criminals, fix things here at home? Guess

944
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: what percentage have abandoned Trump over Iran producer Doug Any

945
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: guesses what percent of MAGA supports Donald Trump. He says

946
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: to me, I already saw the story, and Dan, I

947
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: put in your sound bites, so I know the answer.

948
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: It's one hundred percent. One hundred percent of MAGA Republicans

949
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: support Donald Trump. Harry Entons CNA.

950
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 3: Sometimes you look at the polling data and there are

951
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 3: numbers that just jump off the screen at you, and

952
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 3: this is one of those.

953
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 7: Because just take.

954
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:48,320
Speaker 3: A look here, MAGA GOP view of Trump approve one

955
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 3: hundred percent, one hundred percent.

956
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 1: If you are a member of MAGA and the.

957
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 3: GOP you approve of Donald John Trump, zero percent say

958
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 3: that they disapprove. You don't have to be a mathematical

959
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 3: genius to know you can't go higher than one hundred percent.

960
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 3: He is the nineteen hundred and seventy two Miami Dolphins. Now,

961
01:03:07,400 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 3: there are some Republicans who disapprove of Donald John Trump,

962
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 3: but they are not members of the Make America Great

963
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 3: Again movement.

964
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: Okay, well, this is where the podcast right would be saying, well,

965
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: that's because MAGA has shrunk. That's because Donald Trump's voter

966
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 1: base has shrunk. Fewer people than ever are identifying as MEGA.

967
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: They have left the MAGA movement. They have abandoned the

968
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: Mega movement because Donald Trump killed it. Mega is dead,

969
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:39,439
Speaker 1: and nobody identifies as MAGA anymore. Right, Ron Wrong. More

970
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 1: Americans identify as MAGA now than they did in November

971
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four, when MAGA Republicans swept Trump to

972
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: a massive electoral victim.

973
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 3: I've heard some people say, oh, you know what, when

974
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,000
Speaker 3: you look at those MEGA numbers, it doesn't account for

975
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:56,640
Speaker 3: those who might have left MEGA. But take a look

976
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 3: here Americans who identify as MAGA. In November of twenty

977
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 3: twenty four, it was twenty eight percent of Americans. Now,

978
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 3: it's basically the same of anything. It's slightly higher at

979
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,919
Speaker 3: thirty percent. The bottom line is this, the magabase within

980
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 3: the GOP is not shrinking.

981
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 1: It's the same size.

982
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,800
Speaker 3: If anything, it is slightly larger than it was back

983
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four, when, of course, Donald Trump won

984
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 3: a second term. So that one hundred percent that Donald

985
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:22,080
Speaker 3: Trump has approval among MAGA GOP that is not an

986
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 3: artifact of MAGA shrinking. It's just an indication of how

987
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 3: strong Donald Trump's grip is on that magabase.

988
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: Now, why is it that so many people believe that

989
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: things are true that are objectively not. It is because

990
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 1: reality as it's presented to us is altered by social

991
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: media algorithms, which I believe right now are working overtime

992
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: to convince you that the Iran strikes were a failure,

993
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: that Trump is a politically dead man walking, he's already

994
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 1: a lame duck, that there are way more Tucker Carlson

995
01:04:57,440 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: and Megan Kelly conservatives than there are our MAGA conservatives

996
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: who support the president. We will dive into that reality,

997
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: at least as it's presented online as an artificial construct.

998
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: Next fitting, I think that this song is called Alone

999
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 1: by the DJ Marshmallow and the Dan o'donald show bumper

1000
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 1: music rotation, because that's how you are meant to feel

1001
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 1: as a conservative, as a Donald Trump supporter, at all times,

1002
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 1: you are meant to feel like you're alone, like you

1003
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,560
Speaker 1: are the weird one, like you've got the odd ball beliefs,

1004
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 1: like everybody else in the world supports woke DEI initiatives,

1005
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: worships the actual child rapist Caesar Chavez. As it was

1006
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 1: revealed this morning by The New York Times, that your

1007
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 1: support for Donald Trump makes you an odd ball being

1008
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 1: a Republican. You are so outnumbered, your views are fringe

1009
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 1: and weird. Well, now that is coming not just for

1010
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: the institutional left, not just from the traditional media, not

1011
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 1: just from Hollywood, not just from the traditional gatekeepers of culture,

1012
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 1: but also from the online right. And what that is creating.

1013
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 1: It is my theory. I'm actually gonna I'm gonna have

1014
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 1: to defer to my wife here. This is her theory.

1015
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 1: This is the Missus O'Donnell theory of politics in twenty

1016
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 1: twenty six. It's actually even deeper than that. It's reality

1017
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. If you consume news via online sources,

1018
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 1: especially social media like Facebook, like x, like TikTok. They're fantastic.

1019
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 1: They're fantastic, but they are controlled by algorithms, oftentimes that

1020
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 1: have no real human intervention, that are based on your

1021
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: behavior online and predictive technology for what will keep you

1022
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: on that platform the longest and engaged in the content

1023
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: the longest, and critically seeing the most advertisements. What this

1024
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 1: has done is to amplify, from both left and right,

1025
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 1: the loudest, most extreme voices that are getting you to

1026
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: question your own beliefs, and they are working over time

1027
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 1: on this Iran strike. Now, I want you to think

1028
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 1: about why you're hearing some of the things that you're hearing.

1029
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: Do you realize that the government of Qatar spent millions

1030
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: and millions and millions and millions of dollars years ago,

1031
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 1: and this is an ongoing effort by the Qatari government

1032
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 1: in order to influence American thought, and they have been

1033
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: paying influencers pretty much across the country, including one Tucker Carlson.

1034
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:06,600
Speaker 1: Do you think the Kataris, I don't know, aren't particularly

1035
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: fond of Israel? Do you think maybe that could influence

1036
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: what Tucker and some of these other influencers who all

1037
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it seems they have gone anti Israel.

1038
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: It's just like that weird and it happened right around

1039
01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 1: the time that the Katari government was spending all this cash,

1040
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: like all of a sudden, all of a sudden, if

1041
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell, who you hear in every commercial break talking

1042
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: about his friends at Built Right Furniture, just went full

1043
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:44,120
Speaker 1: g hod and blasted every other furniture store in the world.

1044
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: Like just started saying, the Penny Mustard Brothers secretly run

1045
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 1: the world and they are forcing America to fight and

1046
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 1: die in its wars. If I said the greatest terrorists

1047
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: are the Penny Mustard brother you would think, hey, you

1048
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 1: know what, maybe the fact that Dan O'Donnell is being

1049
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: paid by Built Right Furniture would influence why he's saying

1050
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: these things. I actually love the Penny Mustard Brothers, a

1051
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 1: fine establishment that they are. They are most certainly not

1052
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 1: making America fight their wars. Who would their wars be

1053
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 1: against Steinhoffels? I don't even know. But my point is

1054
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: that there's always an agenda, and the agenda is being

1055
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: magnified by an algorithm that is designed to get you

1056
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: to think a certain way. Now x is a free

1057
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 1: speech platform, but it also rewards engagement. Now do you

1058
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:51,719
Speaker 1: think a nuanced take on troop deployment and Middle East

1059
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 1: history and why the Iran War was necessary is going

1060
01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:00,679
Speaker 1: to outdraw Candice Owens saying the ghost of Charley Kirk

1061
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: came down to her in a dream and said, we

1062
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: must not strike the Ayatola. Obviously that's going to get

1063
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 1: more engagement. That is rewarded. That influence is therefore what

1064
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:16,480
Speaker 1: is shown to you. Just as there were always traditional

1065
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 1: gatekeepers in the news editors, say at the New York Times,

1066
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 1: who would influence the news coverage like what would make

1067
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 1: the news for every other newspaper in the country, The

1068
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,640
Speaker 1: news editors, the anchors, the people who put on the

1069
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: ABCCBS and NBC nightly news when we only had three

1070
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,639
Speaker 1: different options. And even in the era of cable news,

1071
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: where you had Fox, you had CNN, there were people

1072
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:44,160
Speaker 1: who would decide what is news, what happens. When all

1073
01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:48,759
Speaker 1: of that gatekeeping is essentially gone, and every single idea,

1074
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 1: no matter how insane, can compete in the marketplace of ideas,

1075
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I am

1076
01:10:55,680 --> 01:11:00,120
Speaker 1: saying the algos are rewarding the crazier ideas and discs

1077
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: emanating them to a wider audience, no matter if they're

1078
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 1: true or not, no matter if they're quite frankly insane

1079
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 1: or not. But that is what is establishing your reality.

1080
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: My wife's theory has been that a big reason that

1081
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:21,760
Speaker 1: conservatives and liberals seem more apart than we ever have

1082
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: been is because we quite literally consume two different realities.

1083
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 1: We exist in two different realities. For example, if I

1084
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:33,640
Speaker 1: were to tell the average liberal now, it's probably a

1085
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,600
Speaker 1: little different because this appeared in the pages of the

1086
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: New York Times. But do you think the average liberal

1087
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 1: would believe that their great hero Caesar Shavez was a

1088
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,560
Speaker 1: serial child rapist? Or would they say, well, that's just

1089
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 1: something that that evil hate monger Dan O'Donnell put out

1090
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: on his radio shop. No, or they might not even

1091
01:11:52,560 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: know about it. Stories that conservatives know classic, the classic eggs,

1092
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: the classic example of the Hunter Biden laptop, where you

1093
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: would actually be kicked off of social media. Your account

1094
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: would be suspended if you posted any pictures from Hunter

1095
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:13,639
Speaker 1: Biden's laptop. In the days leading up to the twenty

1096
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:18,559
Speaker 1: twenty presidential election, it was an op to make you

1097
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 1: think that what was reality wasn't actually reality. Liberals live

1098
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: in the alternate reality where the Russians hacked the twenty

1099
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 1: sixteen presidential election, where the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation,

1100
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: where Donald Trump is a secret Russian agent and raped

1101
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 1: any number of girls with Jeffrey Epstein. They exist in

1102
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 1: a world of falsehood. But that world of falsehood is

1103
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 1: now infecting the right. I am a big believer that

1104
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 1: politics is not a straight line that added to extremes,

1105
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 1: the extreme left and the extreme right actually meet. That

1106
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:57,679
Speaker 1: politics is a flat circle. And right now we are

1107
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:01,479
Speaker 1: seeing that. We are seeing that with terratorial thinking. We

1108
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: are seeing that with the ideas that are being disseminated

1109
01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: about whether or not Israel is actually the world leader.

1110
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 1: Here is, if you believe anybody but the United States,

1111
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump is pulling the strings here quite frankly

1112
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 1: or insane, this is America's war. This was always America's war.

1113
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 1: President Trump has made it abundantly clear that what he

1114
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:34,760
Speaker 1: always wanted was a Middle East free from the chaos

1115
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:38,679
Speaker 1: that has been sown by Iran for nearly fifty years.

1116
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 1: In fact, he outlined all of this in one of

1117
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,879
Speaker 1: his landmark speeches in the Middle East commerce, not chaos.

1118
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: It was a speech in which he gathered a whole

1119
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 1: lot of leaders in the Middle East and said, this

1120
01:13:50,280 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 1: new generation of leaders rejects the old guard of terrorist

1121
01:13:54,960 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 1: regimes and will embrace widening their worldview. You to accept

1122
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,680
Speaker 1: the Jewish state, to accept the Western world. We're not

1123
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 1: asking you to give up your style of government, to

1124
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 1: give up your religion, to give up your traditions or

1125
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: your customer So we're not going to force democracy on you.

1126
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 1: That was a mistake we made a generation ago. We're

1127
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: not going to make it again. But we need to

1128
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 1: have a detent. We need to have an understanding that

1129
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:26,960
Speaker 1: terrorism and support for terror networks and terror regimes cannot happen.

1130
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: If that goes away, there is no limit to what

1131
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 1: the Middle East and the United States and the rest

1132
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 1: of the world can do together. That is Trump's basic idea,

1133
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:42,600
Speaker 1: That is his basic philosophy. And Iran was a massive roadblock.

1134
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: So long as the Ayatola and his regime remained in power,

1135
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: there was no chance for peace. There was no chance

1136
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:54,639
Speaker 1: of Trump's vision of an American led world where terrorism

1137
01:14:54,720 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: from the Middle East is no longer a threat to

1138
01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: Americans everywhere across the world than the people of the

1139
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:05,759
Speaker 1: world more generally. Iran posed a clear and present danger

1140
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 1: to everyone, not just Israel. This fight was one that

1141
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 1: nobody particularly wanted, but was one that we had no

1142
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:20,080
Speaker 1: choice but to fight. You're listening to the Dan o'donald show.

1143
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 1: Its conservative thought, not just talk, ladies and gentlemen. I

1144
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 1: take no joy in the friendly fire circular firing squad

1145
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:44,080
Speaker 1: nonsense that has been going on. But frankly, it is

1146
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 1: nauseating and it's disgusting. There is no fracture in Maga.

1147
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:53,080
Speaker 1: There are people whose motives, quite frankly, you should be

1148
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:58,720
Speaker 1: suspect of, because there is a growing movement in the

1149
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 1: younger generation of Conservatism that quite frankly, is a little

1150
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 1: too cozy with the groupers and the Nick Fuentes movement.

1151
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:12,600
Speaker 1: And honestly, I do think a lot of the opposition

1152
01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 1: to the Iran war is based in a sort of

1153
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: latent anti Semitism that's predicated on this idea that the Zionists. No, no, no,

1154
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: it's not the Jews. It's not the Jews. We're not

1155
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:27,599
Speaker 1: anti Semites. It's the Zionists, the people who you know,

1156
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:32,679
Speaker 1: believe that Israel should exist that they are secretly running

1157
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: things and they're the reason that Donald Trump is bombing Iran,

1158
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 1: which he said he wanted to do for several decades.

1159
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 1: All right, coming up after the top of the hour

01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 1: on the air. I will break them on my social media.

1198
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:19,639
Speaker 1: That is also where you are going to be able

1199
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: to find the Ultimate Conservative Voter Guide ahead of the

1200
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:27,679
Speaker 1: spring election. We are going to be debuting it on Monday.

1201
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: Monday is going to be a very very big day.

1202
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 1: It's the day before in person early voting. Starter excuse me,

1203
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:35,240
Speaker 1: it is the first day I believe of in person

1204
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: early voting, and we are going to be just absolutely

1205
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 1: wait no, no, it's the day before in person early voting.

1206
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 1: I believe starts Tuesday, March twenty fourth. Producer Doug, can

1207
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 1: you check that in person early voting whether it starts

1208
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday. I'm fairly certain it starts Tuesday. So

1209
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:56,680
Speaker 1: we're going to put the Ultimate Conservative Voter Guide online.

1210
01:19:56,720 --> 01:20:00,120
Speaker 1: It is part of a broader web initiative that we

1211
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 1: are putting together. I am so proud to be able

1212
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:07,600
Speaker 1: to debut it this coming Monday. I am incredibly excited

1213
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:10,680
Speaker 1: about it. We have been working very very hard on it,

1214
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:15,320
Speaker 1: and you are going to see just how cool it is.

1215
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:17,760
Speaker 1: But the centerpiece of it is going to be the

1216
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: Ultimate Conservative Voter Guide. It is a digital guide. It's

1217
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 1: going to be an interactive map. You are going to

1218
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:25,559
Speaker 1: be able to click on your county or any county,

1219
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 1: and you're going to be able to see all of

1220
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 1: the conservative candidates and all of the positions that they're

1221
01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 1: running for. So it's going to be an alphabetical order.

1222
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:39,960
Speaker 1: It is going to be so like Waka Shaw Mayor,

1223
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:46,599
Speaker 1: for example, Wauka Shaw Mayor, Sean Riley, the awful Democrat mayor.

1224
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:50,200
Speaker 1: He is not running against Scott Allen, great friend of

1225
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:52,759
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell show. He's going to be a spectacular candidate.

1226
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:55,519
Speaker 1: He is going to be right up there. It's going

1227
01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: to say City of Wauka Shaw Mayor, and we are

1228
01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: going to list the conservative candidates Scott Allen. And we

1229
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 1: are doing this in as many different counties. I believe

1230
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:08,959
Speaker 1: we have almost every county. We have identified conservative candidates.

1231
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 1: We have been working with grassroots activists, we have been

1232
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 1: working with the Republican Party, we have been working with

1233
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: everybody to try to identify as many conservative candidates. Early

1234
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,720
Speaker 1: voting does start Tuesday, Tuesday, the twenty fourth. Okay, it

1235
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 1: was right the first time I said that, and then

1236
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,680
Speaker 1: it didn't sound right. But no, it is Tuesday, the

1237
01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: twenty fourth, first day of in person early voting. So

1238
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 1: we are going to have the voter guide online the

1239
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 1: day before. You're going to be able to consult it. Obviously,

1240
01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to have your phone with

1241
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:41,040
Speaker 1: you in the polling place. You're going to be able

1242
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 1: to consult it. And we really do believe that one

1243
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,720
Speaker 1: of the big barriers to people getting out there and

1244
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 1: voting is simply not knowing who it is that's on

1245
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 1: the ballot. And that's why we put together easily, easily,

1246
01:21:54,240 --> 01:21:59,040
Speaker 1: by a factor of about fifty, the single biggest statewide

1247
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: conservative voter guid that has ever been put together. We

1248
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 1: are so happy to be doing this, and again it

1249
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 1: is going to be up online and we are going

1250
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 1: to have links to it bright and early Monday morning.

1251
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:16,400
Speaker 1: Everything is going to be ready to go right there

1252
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: for you. It is coming up. And of course on

1253
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,679
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell Show, we are going to be running

1254
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: the state's largest early vote drive. Throughout the early voting period.

1255
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 1: We are trying to rack up all of those votes

1256
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:33,680
Speaker 1: for conservative candidate Maria Lazar on the Supreme Court, as

1257
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:37,719
Speaker 1: well as conservatives who are identified in our voter guide

1258
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 1: and all across the state. Some breaking news, good news

1259
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 1: for Brad Shimmel, the former state Supreme Court candidate and

1260
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:49,680
Speaker 1: state Attorney general who was interim US Attorney for the

1261
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:53,920
Speaker 1: Eastern District of Wisconsin. Well, his term ended yesterday. You

1262
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 1: might remember that Senator Tammy Baldwin first refused to, through

1263
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 1: the Bipartisan Nominating Commission, give a thumbs up to Brad Shimmel.

1264
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:09,679
Speaker 1: So President Trump, knowing that there was just no way

1265
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 1: that Tammy Baldwin was ever going to approve Shimmel, he

1266
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:17,360
Speaker 1: names him to an interim role. So he's interim US Attorney,

1267
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 1: but his term expires after one hundred and twenty days. Well,

1268
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: the one hundred and twenty day period ended yesterday, Saint

1269
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: Patrick's day. Today, Attorney General Pam Bondi has named Shimmel

1270
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 1: first Assistant US Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. Now,

1271
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:39,680
Speaker 1: this is a position that does not require Senate confirmation.

1272
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 1: It is also not subject to the so called blue

1273
01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:49,680
Speaker 1: slip process that Baldwin and her fellow Democrats have been abusing.

1274
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 1: What does this mean, Well, it pretty much means that

1275
01:23:53,560 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 1: Brad Shimmel is going to continue to run the Eastern

1276
01:23:57,280 --> 01:24:01,679
Speaker 1: District of Wisconsin. The US attorney there not as US

1277
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:05,720
Speaker 1: attorney or interim US attorney, but as first assistant US attorney. Now,

1278
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 1: who is going to be the interim US attorney? Who

1279
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:13,640
Speaker 1: is going to be the US attorneys? Senate confirmed nobody. Essentially,

1280
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:17,599
Speaker 1: what Bondi and the Trump administration are doing is taking

1281
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 1: advantage of the obstructionism of Tammy Baldwin. Shimmel, in a

1282
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:26,800
Speaker 1: statement put out about a half hour or so ago, said,

1283
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 1: I am grateful for this opportunity to serve the people

1284
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 1: of the Eastern District of Wisconsin. I will continue to

1285
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:38,640
Speaker 1: work tirelessly to make the entire district safer and stronger.

1286
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:45,759
Speaker 1: I think this is absolutely hilarious. Here's how the process

1287
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 1: works in Wisconsin. Everybody knows that the president appoints federal

1288
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 1: judges and US attorneys, or at least most people should know.

1289
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:59,839
Speaker 1: The Senate has a constitutional power known as advise and consent.

1290
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 1: What this has been taken to mean is that the

1291
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 1: Senate gets to vote yay or nay on the president's choice. Now,

1292
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 1: this became incredibly contentious as Democrats under George W. Bush's

1293
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 1: presidency just refused to schedule votes on any of Bush's

1294
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:23,679
Speaker 1: judicial nominees. Well, Republicans did the same to President Obama

1295
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: in a form of payback, and it got so contentious

1296
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:30,919
Speaker 1: that then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in twenty thirteen

1297
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:35,120
Speaker 1: actually used the nuclear option to eliminate the filibuster on

1298
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 1: all judicial nominees up to the Supreme Court. When Republicans

1299
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 1: enacted what was known as the Biden Rule, and after

1300
01:25:46,040 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 1: Judge Justice Antonin Scalia died in early twenty sixteen, Joe Biden,

1301
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 1: then a US Senator, got up on the floor of

1302
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:56,559
Speaker 1: the Senate in nineteen ninety two and said, Hey, if

1303
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 1: there's a vacancy on the Supreme Court, we will not

1304
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 1: hold any hearings and allowed George H. W. Bush, then

1305
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 1: the Republican President, to pick any nominee because we want

1306
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:11,559
Speaker 1: the people to decide. Well, Mitch McConnell said, all right, well,

1307
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: guess what we're gonna hold Democrats to the Biden President Biden,

1308
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 1: of course at the time was Vice president, and we're

1309
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 1: just not going to hold any hearings. President Obama put

1310
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 1: up Merrick Garland never got a hearing. President Trump gets

1311
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 1: into office, one of the very first things he does

1312
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: is puts up Neil Gorsich Democrats of course, philibuster first

1313
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 1: time in American history there was a Supreme Court justice

1314
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:41,000
Speaker 1: who was philibustered. His nomination was philibustered. So then Mitch McConnell,

1315
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 1: citing Harry Reid's president, simply nukes the philibuster for Supreme

1316
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:49,839
Speaker 1: Court nominees as well. Democrats have tried every other Supreme

1317
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: Court nominee, Amy Cony, Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh. They tried philibuster,

1318
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 1: but to no avail. There is no philibuster. It only

1319
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 1: took fifty one votes for cloture, and all of President

1320
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:06,880
Speaker 1: Trump's Supreme Court nominees passed well. Since there is no filibuster,

1321
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: Democrats are pretty powerless to stop the nomination of Shimmel,

1322
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 1: except for what's known as the blue slip process. This

1323
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 1: is the process by which federal judges at the district level.

1324
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:24,719
Speaker 1: So there are two districts in Wisconsin, Eastern and Western.

1325
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 1: Eastern is in Milwaukee, Western is in Madison. And the

1326
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:33,639
Speaker 1: idea is that the state in which those positions are

1327
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 1: going to serve Wisconsin, we should give deference to the

1328
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:42,400
Speaker 1: senators from that state. Like the senators will essentially have

1329
01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:46,000
Speaker 1: veto power through something called a blue slip. It is

1330
01:27:46,040 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 1: literally a blue slip of paper. That is, whenever the

1331
01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 1: President puts up a nominee for US attorney or federal

1332
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 1: district judge in a given state, that state's two senators

1333
01:27:57,240 --> 01:27:59,760
Speaker 1: get a blue slip. They can either fill it out yes,

1334
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:02,919
Speaker 1: I approve of this, Noah, I don't approve of this nominee,

1335
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 1: or they just don't return the blue slip. If there

1336
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:08,679
Speaker 1: is a no vote from either senator, or if either

1337
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:13,759
Speaker 1: senator does not return their blue slip, the nominee is done.

1338
01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:16,920
Speaker 1: He doesn't even get a vote in committee, he doesn't

1339
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:21,640
Speaker 1: even get a hearing. The nomination is just defeated. In Wisconsin,

1340
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:26,600
Speaker 1: we have the ridiculous second step of a nominating commission.

1341
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:31,600
Speaker 1: There are six commissioners, three appointed by each senator, so

1342
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:35,520
Speaker 1: three appointed by Ron Johnson, three appointed by Tammy Baldwin,

1343
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:40,639
Speaker 1: who then make recommendations for nominees. Now, wouldn't you know it,

1344
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 1: none of the three Democrats appointed by Baldwin are approving

1345
01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 1: any Republican picks. So there's no chance that President Trump

1346
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:53,839
Speaker 1: would ever get a Republican in a district judge position

1347
01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 1: or in a US attorney position. So he nominates Shivel

1348
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: like we have to have a US attorney. We can't

1349
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 1: just not have a US attorney for years and years

1350
01:29:03,200 --> 01:29:05,479
Speaker 1: and years. So he says, Okay, I really want Brad Schimmel.

1351
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 1: Brad Shimmel is about the most qualified guy to ever

1352
01:29:09,320 --> 01:29:11,720
Speaker 1: get this position. He was the Attorney general of the

1353
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 1: state of Wisconsin. He's a circuit court judge, he's a

1354
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 1: district attorney, he was a candidate for the State Supreme Court.

1355
01:29:17,920 --> 01:29:24,559
Speaker 1: On candidate quality, you cannot get somebody better than him.

1356
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 1: Now contrast that with Barack Obama's pick for that exact

1357
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:36,040
Speaker 1: same position. He had never actually Gregory Hanstad had never

1358
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:40,240
Speaker 1: actually been a prosecutor. He was a private practice attorney.

1359
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 1: Didn't have the relevant experience that Shimmel does. So Hanstad

1360
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:49,040
Speaker 1: was actually approved by the Nominating Commission and was given

1361
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 1: a favorable blue slip return by Senator Ron Johnson. Even

1362
01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 1: though Shimmal is eminently qualified, nobody could doubt the fact

1363
01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:01,000
Speaker 1: that Brad Shimmel is much more then you would need

1364
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 1: to be for the role of US Attorney for Eastern

1365
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:08,880
Speaker 1: District of Wisconsin. Baldwin refused to return a blue slip.

1366
01:30:10,200 --> 01:30:14,200
Speaker 1: Trump says, Okay, this is insane. We are simply going

1367
01:30:14,240 --> 01:30:17,599
Speaker 1: to go around this nominating commission, and I am going

1368
01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:20,719
Speaker 1: to because I know Baldwin is never going to return

1369
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:23,200
Speaker 1: a positive blue slip. I am simply going to name

1370
01:30:23,280 --> 01:30:26,600
Speaker 1: Schimmel as the interim US Attorney to get around this.

1371
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 1: He's got to serve for one hundred and twenty days.

1372
01:30:28,600 --> 01:30:32,240
Speaker 1: Maybe Baldwin will see, hoping against hope that Baldwin will see, hey,

1373
01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:34,120
Speaker 1: he's doing a good job, which he did. He did

1374
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:39,240
Speaker 1: just find she'll allow him to stay on past his expiration.

1375
01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:42,400
Speaker 1: The expiration of his term. She did not. About a

1376
01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 1: week before Saint Patrick's day, she comes out big statement

1377
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 1: and says, no, he can't serve because he's a clearly

1378
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 1: partisan actor. Because he's got an R next to his

1379
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:56,479
Speaker 1: name that makes him a clearly partisan actor. According to

1380
01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:59,599
Speaker 1: Tammy Baldwin, she can't attack his experience, she can't attack

1381
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:02,719
Speaker 1: the job he's done. Well, he's a Republican, so obviously

1382
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:05,559
Speaker 1: he's a part of sanactor. This is pretense. She just

1383
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:09,519
Speaker 1: didn't want Brad Shimmel to serve as US attorney. Well

1384
01:31:09,640 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 1: guess what, Tammy, because of your intransigence, the US attorneys

1385
01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: going to be Brad Shimmel, the Attorney General, Pambondi and

1386
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 1: the Trump administration's attorneys have figured out a way that

1387
01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:27,439
Speaker 1: Shimmel is going to be able to keep serving, and

1388
01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:31,160
Speaker 1: he is probably going to keep serving as essentially the

1389
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:33,120
Speaker 1: US Attorney even though he's just going to be the

1390
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:37,280
Speaker 1: first assistant attorney, because we know dog gone well that

1391
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:41,320
Speaker 1: Baldwin is never going to sign on to a single

1392
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:46,439
Speaker 1: Republican that President Trump nominates. Folks, the blue slip tradition

1393
01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:53,160
Speaker 1: is an antique something that just the fact that it

1394
01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 1: has been beyond abused by Democrats, and I actually have

1395
01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:03,559
Speaker 1: the stats to prove this. States with one Democrat senator

1396
01:32:03,600 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 1: are just not approving any Trump nominees. States with one

1397
01:32:08,080 --> 01:32:15,040
Speaker 1: Republican senator did in fact approve Biden and Obama nominees. Democrats, unsurprisingly,

1398
01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:18,519
Speaker 1: are the ones abusing this process. The Senate needs to

1399
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:22,879
Speaker 1: get rid of this. The advice and consent power vested

1400
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:26,839
Speaker 1: to it in the Constitution does not give outsized power

1401
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 1: to Tammy Baldwin or Ron Johnson or a single Home

1402
01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:36,040
Speaker 1: States senator. These nominees deserve to have a fair hearing

1403
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:39,840
Speaker 1: and get an up or down vote in the Senate.

1404
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:43,679
Speaker 1: So good to see Brad Shimmill get to keep his job,

1405
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:47,759
Speaker 1: even if it isn't the official title he might have wanted.

1406
01:32:48,200 --> 01:32:51,320
Speaker 1: First Assistant US Attorney doesn't have too bad of a

1407
01:32:51,400 --> 01:33:00,040
Speaker 1: ring to it, though. Wisconsin Governor Tony ever Is. He

1408
01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:04,920
Speaker 1: says that after all that he might not sign the

1409
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:09,960
Speaker 1: online sports betting bill after all, No, seriously, he was

1410
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:15,439
Speaker 1: at a signing ceremony for a medicaid bill and he

1411
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:19,760
Speaker 1: said to reporters afterwards, yeah, you know, I don't know.

1412
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't think the tribes had enough say.

1413
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:26,840
Speaker 12: Yeah, I haven't seen the final draft of any of that.

1414
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,559
Speaker 12: But my overall goal is that we have to have

1415
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 12: all of the tribal nations involved in this conversation, and

1416
01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:37,360
Speaker 12: so we'll see what happens. I'm hopeful that we can

1417
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:42,519
Speaker 12: get something done. But I also am very very concerned

1418
01:33:42,520 --> 01:33:46,000
Speaker 12: about the fact that apparently not all of the tribal

1419
01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 12: nations are with us. But I have some time to

1420
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:51,120
Speaker 12: check that out.

1421
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:55,000
Speaker 1: You can interpret that to me. And he is worried

1422
01:33:55,240 --> 01:33:59,160
Speaker 1: that we aren't giving up enough to enough of the states.

1423
01:33:59,280 --> 01:34:04,160
Speaker 1: Eleven say, look, we're giving up way too much potential

1424
01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:07,280
Speaker 1: tax revenue to the Pottawatami here. I'm just worried about

1425
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:10,160
Speaker 1: the other tribes. I want to make sure we're giving

1426
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:13,439
Speaker 1: up even more potential tax revenue to the tribes, just

1427
01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 1: I want to make sure. Yeah, he is clearly going

1428
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 1: to sign this bill. He and other Democrats want that

1429
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 1: sweet native gaming lobby cash, and I have never seen

1430
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:32,479
Speaker 1: them fight for anything quite this hard, at least since

1431
01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:35,720
Speaker 1: they bought and paid for Diamond Jim Doyle in the

1432
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:40,439
Speaker 1: two thousand and two gubernatorial campaign. For those who missed

1433
01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:43,160
Speaker 1: the last several weeks on the Dan O'Donnell show, we

1434
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:46,600
Speaker 1: have been talking about the online sports betting bill extensively.

1435
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:51,720
Speaker 1: It did pass in the state Senate. It was a

1436
01:34:52,040 --> 01:34:59,120
Speaker 1: twenty one to twelve vote, with nine Republicans voting against it.

1437
01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:03,720
Speaker 1: Nine that's half the caucus. Republicans hold an eighteen to

1438
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:08,720
Speaker 1: fifteen majority in the thirty three seat Senate. Half of

1439
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:13,160
Speaker 1: the caucus did not want this bill passed. Senate Majority

1440
01:35:13,240 --> 01:35:16,920
Speaker 1: Leader Devin Lemma Hue brought it to the floor anyway. Now,

1441
01:35:17,200 --> 01:35:20,639
Speaker 1: if half of the Senators didn't want it, you can

1442
01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:24,559
Speaker 1: bet that most likely, give or take probably about half

1443
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 1: of the state Assembly members didn't want it either. Republicans

1444
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:33,080
Speaker 1: have fifty five seats in the Wisconsin Assembly. In the

1445
01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:37,599
Speaker 1: ninety nine member district, ninety nine member Assembly. I should say,

1446
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a wild guess that a good

1447
01:35:40,360 --> 01:35:44,720
Speaker 1: number didn't actually support this bill. Do you know how?

1448
01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:48,000
Speaker 1: It passed the Assembly on a voice vote? Outgoing Assembly

1449
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:51,160
Speaker 1: Speaker Robin Voss scheduled a voice vote. That's where all

1450
01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:55,920
Speaker 1: in favor say, I, all oppose say nay a voice

1451
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 1: vote because he didn't want his members to have to

1452
01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:03,799
Speaker 1: register their support or their opposition to something that clearly

1453
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:06,840
Speaker 1: a whole lot of Republican voters didn't want, not necessarily

1454
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 1: because they didn't want online sports betting.

1455
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:09,040
Speaker 11: It.

1456
01:36:09,120 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 1: Let me make it clear, I believe that online sports

1457
01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:15,800
Speaker 1: betting should be legal in Wisconsin. I believe it is

1458
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 1: incredibly addictive. I believe that it is far more addictive

1459
01:36:19,960 --> 01:36:22,840
Speaker 1: than every other form of gambling, simply because you can

1460
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 1: do it with that little device that sits in your

1461
01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:28,960
Speaker 1: pocket twenty four hours a day. It's ubiquitous. I mean,

1462
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:30,439
Speaker 1: all you have to do is pull it out, and

1463
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 1: you can make bets. And not just one bet on

1464
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:34,760
Speaker 1: a game. You can make fifty different bets on the

1465
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:42,639
Speaker 1: same football game or the same NCAA basketball game. That said, clearly,

1466
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:45,360
Speaker 1: this is something that people want. Clearly, this is something

1467
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:50,280
Speaker 1: We have already legalized sports betting in sports books in Wisconsin.

1468
01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:54,920
Speaker 1: We have legalized off track horse racing betting in Wisconsin.

1469
01:36:56,120 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 1: We should legalize online sports betting. My issue is that

1470
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:05,880
Speaker 1: why are we giving the tribes a cartel on the

1471
01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 1: sports betting FanDuel DraftKings bet MGM, I think ESPN bet.

1472
01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 1: Do they actually take bets or are they just sort

1473
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:17,680
Speaker 1: of like a betting news or I don't even know.

1474
01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:22,479
Speaker 1: I don't gamble online, so I don't really know. I

1475
01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:24,880
Speaker 1: know policy, I don't know the ins and outs of

1476
01:37:24,920 --> 01:37:32,000
Speaker 1: online sports betting. Why aren't we just allowing them to operate?

1477
01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:37,759
Speaker 1: They would be able to pay us directly tax revenue,

1478
01:37:37,800 --> 01:37:40,439
Speaker 1: and probably a ton of it, because the thing I

1479
01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: know about online sports betting is that it is insanely popular.

1480
01:37:44,320 --> 01:37:47,559
Speaker 1: People really really like online sports betting. So it's my

1481
01:37:47,680 --> 01:37:49,479
Speaker 1: very strong suspicion we would get a whole ton of

1482
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:52,960
Speaker 1: tax revenue, except, of course, for those pesky gaming compacts

1483
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:56,720
Speaker 1: that Diamond Jim made permanent when he signed them, and

1484
01:37:56,760 --> 01:38:01,640
Speaker 1: the biggest sellout of Wisconsin t payer interests probably in

1485
01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:03,599
Speaker 1: the history of this state. The reason I call him

1486
01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:06,960
Speaker 1: Diamond Jim Doyle. Is he because he struck that corrupt

1487
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:09,599
Speaker 1: bargain with the tribes on the gaming compacts after they

1488
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:12,479
Speaker 1: paid two hundred plus thousand dollars. I think it was

1489
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:15,439
Speaker 1: even more than that, an obscene amount of money back

1490
01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:18,920
Speaker 1: twenty four years ago to get him elected governor, to

1491
01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:22,880
Speaker 1: have him defeat the then lieutenant governor, acting governor Scott McCallum.

1492
01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:24,120
Speaker 4: It was.

1493
01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:29,120
Speaker 1: A horrible deal for Wisconsin. Originally was overturned by the

1494
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:31,479
Speaker 1: state Supreme Court. Then left. He's got control of the court,

1495
01:38:31,479 --> 01:38:34,120
Speaker 1: and of course they revisit the decision and they say, oh, hey,

1496
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:36,160
Speaker 1: what do you know we were wrong last time. Turns

1497
01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:41,559
Speaker 1: out those forever compacts were perfectly legal, perfectly constitutional. Here's

1498
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:43,560
Speaker 1: the other thing about the online sports betting bill. It

1499
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 1: is almost certainly unconstitutional. It's a brand new form of gambling.

1500
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:51,000
Speaker 1: The legislature cannot just enact a new form of gambling.

1501
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:54,519
Speaker 1: You cannot just waive the magic legislative wand and say

1502
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 1: all right, we hereby legalized gambling. It's in the Wisconsin Constitution.

1503
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:02,040
Speaker 1: Article four, section twenty four says that any new form

1504
01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:05,320
Speaker 1: of gambling needs to be approved by the people of Wisconsin.

1505
01:39:05,439 --> 01:39:08,240
Speaker 1: In the form of a constitutional amendment. This one was not.

1506
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:11,879
Speaker 1: Online sports betting is clearly a new form of betting.

1507
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:15,240
Speaker 1: It is sports betting, yes, but you can do things

1508
01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:18,320
Speaker 1: that you could never do in a traditional sports book

1509
01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:22,760
Speaker 1: with the online sports betting, and quite frankly, it is

1510
01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 1: the exact same as say, like a video poker or

1511
01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:30,679
Speaker 1: excuse me, an online poker, online black that sort of thing,

1512
01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:35,320
Speaker 1: just as that is fundamentally different than sitting in a

1513
01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:39,280
Speaker 1: poker room at Pottawatamie Hotel and casino, So too is

1514
01:39:39,360 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 1: this fundamentally different. It would not shock me if and

1515
01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:45,320
Speaker 1: when I think it's a when Governor Reavers signs this

1516
01:39:45,400 --> 01:39:48,600
Speaker 1: bill into law that it is going to be challenged

1517
01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:54,280
Speaker 1: as an unconstitutional expansion of gambling without the people getting

1518
01:39:54,439 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 1: their set. Tom Tiffany weighs in on the rumors about

1519
01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:02,240
Speaker 1: Tommy Thompson jumping in the gubernatorial race. You won't want

1520
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:11,080
Speaker 1: to miss what he says. Next. Are we of the

1521
01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 1: Pharaohs in the bumper music rotation? Here on the Dan

1522
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:18,599
Speaker 1: o'donald Show. It is classical conservatism, contemporary style, a tour

1523
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:22,160
Speaker 1: de force of truth. We do have a Dan o'donald Show.

1524
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:27,720
Speaker 1: Bumper music playlist up on Spotify just search for Dan

1525
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:32,080
Speaker 1: o'donald's show Bumper or bumper Music, and we have got

1526
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:35,599
Speaker 1: like two three hundred songs that we use on the show.

1527
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:38,599
Speaker 1: People always ask because we use such different music than

1528
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:41,280
Speaker 1: literally everything else in talk radio. It's why we say

1529
01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:45,040
Speaker 1: it's talk radio done different. Right down to the bumper music.

1530
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:47,360
Speaker 1: We go through the news of the day and we

1531
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:51,080
Speaker 1: actually think about it. It's conservative thought, not just talk.

1532
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:54,519
Speaker 1: Earlier today on my good friend Ben Younce morning show

1533
01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:58,639
Speaker 1: on WYS and Tom Tiffany was a guest, and Ben

1534
01:40:58,840 --> 01:41:02,840
Speaker 1: asked him at the persistent rumors that popped up again

1535
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:07,320
Speaker 1: this weekend that former Governor Tommy Thompson is going to

1536
01:41:07,439 --> 01:41:11,080
Speaker 1: jump into this race. Here's what Tiffany had to say,

1537
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:11,840
Speaker 1: you think about.

1538
01:41:12,439 --> 01:41:16,639
Speaker 9: After President Trump's endorsement, the next day, Josh Showman, who

1539
01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 9: was the first person in the governor's race, very graciously

1540
01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:23,080
Speaker 9: called me and he said, Tom, I see the handwriting

1541
01:41:23,120 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 9: on the wall, and I want to support you because

1542
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:29,080
Speaker 9: the most important thing that we can do is to

1543
01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:32,439
Speaker 9: win the governorship our state that's going in the wrong direction,

1544
01:41:33,120 --> 01:41:35,720
Speaker 9: and I am here to support you. And by the way,

1545
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:39,360
Speaker 9: Josh has been out on the campaign trail doing surrogate

1546
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:41,120
Speaker 9: work for me, and I can't thank him enough. And

1547
01:41:41,160 --> 01:41:45,839
Speaker 9: he was so gracious in how he bought out Governor Thompson.

1548
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:48,800
Speaker 9: You know what a good governor back in nineteen eighty

1549
01:41:48,880 --> 01:41:52,439
Speaker 9: six when he first was elected, did a fine job.

1550
01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:54,800
Speaker 9: Will always go down as one of the great governors

1551
01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:57,880
Speaker 9: of the state of Wisconsin. No one like him. I mean,

1552
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:01,040
Speaker 9: he always talked about his love of Wasisconsin. And I

1553
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:05,000
Speaker 9: got to tell you, as a lifelong resident, we need

1554
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:08,320
Speaker 9: to do some of those things that happened like twenty

1555
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:11,080
Speaker 9: and thirty years ago. We need to have work requirements

1556
01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:14,200
Speaker 9: once again. We need to make sure that our schools

1557
01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:17,599
Speaker 9: are performing as they should be. And that is central

1558
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:21,960
Speaker 9: things to my campaign because what we're doing is building

1559
01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:24,920
Speaker 9: a campaign that can win in November.

1560
01:42:25,680 --> 01:42:29,320
Speaker 1: Gracious response from Tom Tiffany, but also a revealing one.

1561
01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:32,720
Speaker 1: Let's parse it. What did he say first? When I

1562
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:36,400
Speaker 1: got the Trump Administration's endorsement, When I got President Trump's

1563
01:42:36,439 --> 01:42:42,599
Speaker 1: personal endorsement, Josh Schauman dropped out the next day. Sheuman

1564
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:46,559
Speaker 1: was the very first declared candidate. He got in almost

1565
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:49,479
Speaker 1: exactly a year ago, is April of twenty twenty five

1566
01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:53,640
Speaker 1: months before Tiffany got in on this show actually in

1567
01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 1: the fall of twenty five, and Schuman was in and

1568
01:42:57,000 --> 01:43:00,519
Speaker 1: he was campaigning for a long time before anybody else

1569
01:43:00,560 --> 01:43:05,360
Speaker 1: got in. But once President Trump endorsed, Schauman realized that, Okay,

1570
01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:09,840
Speaker 1: the party apparatus is clearly behind Tom Tiffany, the White

1571
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:14,599
Speaker 1: House is behind Tom Tiffany. All other Conservative congressmen are

1572
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 1: behind Tom Tiffany. He did a very gracious thing. He

1573
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:19,080
Speaker 1: could have stayed in this. He could have launched a

1574
01:43:19,160 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 1: Kamakze campaign and just attacked Tiffany and tried to launch,

1575
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, a generational thing. Showman is about forty five

1576
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:28,960
Speaker 1: years old. Tiffany is a bit older. He could have said, hey,

1577
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:31,680
Speaker 1: we need new blood, and you know, Tiffany is this

1578
01:43:31,720 --> 01:43:36,080
Speaker 1: old fart, and you know, let's let's stop nominating older candidates.

1579
01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:37,840
Speaker 1: It's time for new blood. He could have done that.

1580
01:43:37,920 --> 01:43:41,240
Speaker 1: He didn't. He didn't because Josh Shauman is a good guy,

1581
01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:44,559
Speaker 1: and Josh Shauman is clearly somebody who has a future

1582
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:48,599
Speaker 1: in this party. And I think what he did did

1583
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:53,920
Speaker 1: not go unnoticed. But what is Tiffany saying here? Josh

1584
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:57,160
Speaker 1: Shauman did the noble thing when it was clear that

1585
01:43:57,200 --> 01:44:01,840
Speaker 1: the party wants me to be the nominee, Tommy Thompson

1586
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:05,519
Speaker 1: should do the noble thing now that it's clear the

1587
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 1: party wants me, And what Thompson would necessarily need to

1588
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:14,240
Speaker 1: do to get in this race late is either overtly

1589
01:44:14,479 --> 01:44:20,160
Speaker 1: or subtly go at Tom Tiffany attack him for whatever

1590
01:44:20,240 --> 01:44:22,679
Speaker 1: it is that Tiffany would be attacked on. I don't

1591
01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:26,479
Speaker 1: even see right now what his weakness would be from

1592
01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:30,639
Speaker 1: the right unless they're really going to go with this polling.

1593
01:44:30,800 --> 01:44:34,400
Speaker 1: Supposedly there's polling out there. Stop me. If you've heard

1594
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:39,000
Speaker 1: this before, that a Trump aligned MAGA candidate cannot win.

1595
01:44:39,080 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 1: This is the exact same thing Tommy and his allies

1596
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:45,960
Speaker 1: did four years ago with Becky Clayfish. They said they

1597
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:49,120
Speaker 1: had polling that shows that Becky can't win, and this

1598
01:44:49,240 --> 01:44:53,080
Speaker 1: is why either Tommy or somebody who's just not Becky

1599
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:56,080
Speaker 1: Clayfish needs to get in the race. So if they're

1600
01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:59,880
Speaker 1: trying to play this exact same game again, I'm gonna

1601
01:44:59,880 --> 01:45:04,080
Speaker 1: say stop it right now. I'm going to take the

1602
01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:08,880
Speaker 1: game board and flip it off the table. It didn't

1603
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 1: work in twenty twenty two, and in fact, it very

1604
01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:14,559
Speaker 1: likely cost us the governorship and it's sure as hell

1605
01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:18,720
Speaker 1: ain't going to work in twenty twenty six. Tommy is

1606
01:45:18,760 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 1: eighty four years old. This is not an ageist attack

1607
01:45:22,240 --> 01:45:25,800
Speaker 1: on him. I just saw Tommy less than two years ago.

1608
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:28,880
Speaker 1: He is in great shape. He's in great spirits. The

1609
01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:31,960
Speaker 1: man was holding court like it was thirty years ago.

1610
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 1: He has not lost it at all. After the Joe

1611
01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:40,320
Speaker 1: Biden debacle. Voters are not going to vote for somebody

1612
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:45,519
Speaker 1: that old for high executive office. They just aren't. Tommy

1613
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:47,559
Speaker 1: would be eighty nine years old at the end of

1614
01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:51,719
Speaker 1: his term. I don't want to be morbid, and please

1615
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:54,559
Speaker 1: don't misinterpret this. I hope Tommy lives until one hundred

1616
01:45:54,600 --> 01:45:57,599
Speaker 1: and eighty four, but there is a very good chance

1617
01:46:00,040 --> 01:46:01,519
Speaker 1: he doesn't make it to the end of the term.

1618
01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:08,599
Speaker 1: It's just not going to happen. Second thing that Tiffany said,

1619
01:46:08,640 --> 01:46:12,200
Speaker 1: he was very careful to be respectful of Tommy, and

1620
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:16,919
Speaker 1: it's genuine. Every conservative, everybody who's been around Wisconsin politics

1621
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:21,200
Speaker 1: and been around Republican politics, conservative politics, understands what Tommy means,

1622
01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:23,400
Speaker 1: not just to the statewide movement, but to the national

1623
01:46:23,439 --> 01:46:28,360
Speaker 1: movement welfare reform, school choice, that was Tommy. Yes, he

1624
01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:31,519
Speaker 1: was in that big spending era of Republicanism in the

1625
01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:34,479
Speaker 1: eighties and nineties and to some extent the early two

1626
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:38,799
Speaker 1: thousands before he was tapped for the Bush administration's HHS position,

1627
01:46:41,200 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 1: But he enacted some of the most important conservative reforms

1628
01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:50,040
Speaker 1: we have ever had at the state level. Tiffany was

1629
01:46:50,240 --> 01:46:53,759
Speaker 1: very careful to be deferential to that, but I did

1630
01:46:53,880 --> 01:46:57,479
Speaker 1: pick up on right away. He said, look, when Tommy

1631
01:46:57,560 --> 01:47:02,400
Speaker 1: first was elected in nineteen eighty six, forty years ago.

1632
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:08,479
Speaker 1: The implication is that was forty years ago, so we

1633
01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:10,439
Speaker 1: need to go back to some of those ideas. He

1634
01:47:10,479 --> 01:47:13,080
Speaker 1: was respectful because those are good ideas. Tommy's ideas were

1635
01:47:13,200 --> 01:47:16,280
Speaker 1: very very good. The policies he got pushed back were

1636
01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:19,960
Speaker 1: very very good. They still are our models for what

1637
01:47:20,080 --> 01:47:23,559
Speaker 1: conservative states, for what the entire country should do today.

1638
01:47:25,320 --> 01:47:33,000
Speaker 1: But Tiffany subtly reminded Ben's audience that Tommy had his chance.

1639
01:47:34,560 --> 01:47:38,760
Speaker 1: He had four He was elected four times. He would

1640
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:42,160
Speaker 1: have served four terms. If he didn't get picked as

1641
01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:47,439
Speaker 1: HHS secretary, he would have served from nineteen eighty six

1642
01:47:48,120 --> 01:47:54,479
Speaker 1: to two thousand and six. Okay, oh wait, no, two

1643
01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:56,800
Speaker 1: thousand and four, that's right, two thousand and four. Thank

1644
01:47:56,840 --> 01:48:05,840
Speaker 1: you very much, Doug. It is if Tommy did not

1645
01:48:06,280 --> 01:48:09,760
Speaker 1: do this every single spring, every time there was an

1646
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:14,120
Speaker 1: open statewide race, I would be a little more inclined

1647
01:48:14,160 --> 01:48:17,000
Speaker 1: to take it seriously. And if the last time he

1648
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:21,920
Speaker 1: ran statewide fourteen years ago he didn't get shellacked by

1649
01:48:21,920 --> 01:48:25,720
Speaker 1: Tammy Baldwin inadmittedly a big Democrat year, but everybody is

1650
01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:27,760
Speaker 1: assuming that twenty twenty six is going to be a

1651
01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:32,720
Speaker 1: big Democrat year. I just don't see it. I just

1652
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:36,640
Speaker 1: as much as I love Tommy and I do, I

1653
01:48:36,960 --> 01:48:39,479
Speaker 1: just don't see him getting in this race. And I

1654
01:48:39,800 --> 01:48:43,600
Speaker 1: just don't see there being any appetite whatsoever in the

1655
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:47,800
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Republican Party for any sort of contentious primary. You're

1656
01:48:47,840 --> 01:48:51,720
Speaker 1: listening to the Dan O'Donnell show. Another fracture in the

1657
01:48:51,760 --> 01:48:56,400
Speaker 1: relationship between Yiannis and the Bucks opens up today. We'll

1658
01:48:56,400 --> 01:48:57,080
Speaker 1: tell you about it.

1659
01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:01,000
Speaker 12: Six
