1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, you exceptional Americans. How do you do

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: it is the new year? It's the old Kittle. Oh

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: my god, that guy's back again. Yes, just for a

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: little while longer and than Dan O'Donnell and all of

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: your favorite shows are back operating full strength, back to

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: normal beginning next week. Until then, it's your old radio amigo,

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: Matt Kittle, the lesser known Kittle, the less talented Kittle.

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: Glad to have you along with us. On this January second,

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, in the year of our Lord, it

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: is Friday, which means this. If you've had a rough

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: couple of days celebrating the new year, and you had

12
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: to go back bright and early this morning to work,

13
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: chances are you've got a weekend coming up to recover.

14
00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: Although productivity was probably way down today, I know it

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: has been for me. It's just weird coming back getting

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: into the flow of things when you have the holidays

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: stuck right in the middle of the week. I don't

18
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: even know what day it is anymore. I have this

19
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: thing that says right in front of me on my computer.

20
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: It says Friday, January second, twenty twenty six. That's the

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: only way I keep track of what the hell is

22
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: going on where I am? In this season of fill

23
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: In Talk Show Radio. I don't know where I am

24
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: either most of the time. Try to keep a handle

25
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: on it. But let's face it, it's this is spinal

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: tap for yours truly. Over this season we have an

27
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: excellent show produced by an excellent producer. Eric Paulson is

28
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: manning the board today. I appreciate his good work and

29
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: his efforts. He will keep me on the straight and narrow,

30
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: which is the Lord's work for the next three hours.

31
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: Coming up in just a bit, Blue Doom, the Blue

32
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: slide into ruin continued at an accelerated pace last year.

33
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: Conservative columnist Douglas Blair writes about his beloved Portland, Oregon,

34
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: and the stabbing that proves blue cities decline. Doug will

35
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: join us coming up in just a few moments here

36
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: as we talk a little bit about what Portland, its

37
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: crime scene, its socialist Marxist government, what it means not

38
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: only for Oregon, but what it shows for the rest

39
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: of the country in blue cities and blue states. After

40
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: the bottom of the hour, what a Waste? John Hart,

41
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: CEO of the Great Government Spending Watchdog, opened the books

42
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: joins us for a look at all the taxpayer money

43
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: peet away by your what was the waste in twenty

44
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: twenty five, and we'll have a sneak peek at the

45
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: waist coming in twenty twenty six. A good chunk of

46
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: that waste will involve and fraud, by the way, will

47
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: involve some Somalis in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Oh yes, we will

48
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: talk more about that coming up as well in the

49
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: four o'clock hour. We have big news on that front

50
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: today that we will share with you the huge fraud

51
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: scandal in Governor Putts's Tim Walls's Minnesota. We've got some

52
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: more to tell you about that. As the fraud welfare

53
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: fraud scandal there continues to grow. And obviously it's not

54
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: just Minnesota. We're starting to look into California, Surprise, Surprise,

55
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: and all kinds of states, and what we're seeing there

56
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: is quite troubling as well. We'll talk about zoron Momdani.

57
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: Did you see the socialist, communist Marxist mayor of New

58
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: York City, New York City, yes New York City yesterday

59
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: got his swearing in ceremony becoming the next mayor of

60
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: New York The first socialist and the first Muslim to

61
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: be mayor of New York, and perhaps the last mayor

62
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: of New York. Who knows, Because if history is any indicator,

63
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: when communists are at the helm, and when said communist

64
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: cite collectivism as a virtue in his administration, how did

65
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: he put it? The warmth, the warmth of collectivism? Well,

66
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: you got yourself a recipe for ruin. We're going to

67
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: talk more about that coming up in the four o'clock

68
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: hour as well. Well, there is a great movie out

69
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: that according to conservative movie reviewer Christian Toto of the

70
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: excellent website excellent review site Hollywood in Toto, it's reviews

71
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: of movies, Hollywood in general and entertainment culture from a

72
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: conservative point of view. It is. It's like a junior mint.

73
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: It's quite refreshing. Anyway, Christian has a great piece up today, Nuremberg.

74
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: This movie should crush TDS once and for all. The

75
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: TDS mentioned, of course, is yes, Trump derangement syndrome. We'll

76
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about that. Oh and the

77
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: twenty five Leftist Lives of twenty twenty five from the

78
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: Federalist This is. I can tell you it was no

79
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: easy feat winnowing down, whittling down the top twenty five lies.

80
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: There were just there was just too many lies to

81
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 1: get through. But we did pick the top twenty five,

82
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: and we'll delve into some of that coming up a

83
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: little bit later on in the program. And also, just

84
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: in case you missed it, I've talked about this a

85
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: few times this holiday season, but do you get those

86
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: the Christmas letters? And I don't mean you know, like

87
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: the the little little cards in there that just gives

88
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: you a quick update, Hey, the kids are fine, everything's wonderful,

89
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: and uh, you know we're looking forward to twenty twenty six.

90
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. I'm talking about these two pager letters,

91
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: some of them longer, that include every health ailment that

92
00:06:53,920 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: a human being can endure, all laid out in pain staking,

93
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: painful detail in a Christmas letter. Yes, there are some

94
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: individuals who feel the need to tell everyone in their

95
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: influence sphere, everyone they know, everyone they send Christmas letters to,

96
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: exactly what a crummy year it was for their health.

97
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: And let's just say this, the word rectum shows up

98
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: far too often in these Christmas letters. Little something from

99
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: an old radio show in Chicago at the Old WGN

100
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: again when it used to be worth listening to. Years ago,

101
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: a couple of liberal ladies down there did an annual

102
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: feature called Merry Medical Christmas. It was hilarious stuff, but

103
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: it can take away your appetite pretty quickly. We'll talk

104
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: more about out that coming up once again, probably in

105
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour. So I so told you've got

106
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: a full show here. Absolutely, it's a big full show.

107
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: Let's start off here. Though, the US Court of Appeals

108
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a unanimous stay

109
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: of lower court a lower court order that had blocked

110
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: President Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Washington, d C,

111
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: allowing the troops to remain in place while the government's

112
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: appeal moves forward. This is a very interesting development because

113
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: this is coming from an Obama appointed judge, handing President

114
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: Trump a huge win and the executive branch a huge

115
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: win after another lower lower court got all political and

116
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: decided that there was no the executive branch had no

117
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: power in Washington, d C. The three judge panel, and

118
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: this was again the three judge panel included Judge Patricia A. Millet,

119
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: appointed by President Barack Obama, alongside judges Gregory Katsis and

120
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: Naomi Rao, both appointed by Trump. But even the Obama

121
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: appointee said, uh yeah, Lower Court, Ah, I'm not sure

122
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: what you're thinking here, but the Constitution reads another way,

123
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: Judge Millett, that was the judge writing the opinion. Again,

124
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: Obama's appointee said, because the District of Columbia is a

125
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: federal district created by con Congress rather than a constitutionally

126
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: sovereign entity like the fifty States, the defendants appear on

127
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: this early record likely to prevail on the merits of

128
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: the argument that the president possesses a unique power within

129
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: the district, the seat of the federal government, to mobilize

130
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: the Guard. The ruling effectively allows more than twenty three

131
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: hundred National Guard members from DC and eight states to

132
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: remain deployed in the capital. Judge Row wrote, we have

133
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: never recognized that the district possesses an independent sovereignty that

134
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: can give rise to an Article three injury from actions

135
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: of the Federal Court. Effectively, you're wrong, lower Court, put

136
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: it in your pipe and smoke it. The executive branch

137
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: has the power to deploy the National Guard in times

138
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: of emergency, particularly in the District of Columbia. US District

139
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: Judge Ga Cobb earlier ruled that Trump exceeded his authority

140
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: by deploying the National Guard in Washington, d C. Finding

141
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: the use of troops for general crime control and the

142
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: activation of out of state units unlawful under district and

143
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: federal law, she stayed her order to halt the deployment

144
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: to allow the administration to appeal. They did. DC Attorney

145
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: General Brian Schwab then filed an appeal, arguing that the

146
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: White House needed consent from local officials, including Mayor Muriel Bowser.

147
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: That same liberal mayor, if being honest, would tell you

148
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: that we had an emergency here in d C. We've

149
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: had an emergency here in d C for a long time,

150
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: and that emergency is the average person, citizen, visitor, you

151
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: name it, fully travel safely, cannot avoid being the victim

152
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: of a crime, or at least the high potential of

153
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: being the victim of a crime in this city, because

154
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: like a lot of blue cities across this country, crime

155
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: is rampant, and there are officials in the judiciary, officials

156
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: as district attorneys, prosecutors, who are doing nothing to improve

157
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: that situation. And so Trump promised and delivered sending in

158
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: the National Guard to make the city safer, and that

159
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: the national Guard has done. Now it's not been all

160
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: that safe for National Guard members. We still remember, and

161
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: I think we should always the two West Virginia National

162
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: Guard members who were shot, one of them fatally late

163
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: last year in trying to protect the city, shot by

164
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: an Islamic militant swearing allegiance to al Qaeda or ISIS,

165
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: whatever the terrorist group. He came in on the flow

166
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: of unvetted Afghanis following Biden's disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in

167
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So, at least in the midst of

168
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: this judicial coup going on nationally that is fueled by

169
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: Trump derangement syndrome and not the rule of law, we

170
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: have the return of the rule of law, at least

171
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: as it relates to the National Guard in Washington, d C.

172
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: We'll take a quick break. Coming up straight ahead, more

173
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: on crime and disorder, lawlessness and dysfunction in America's Blue cities.

174
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: Our good friend Douglas Blair joins us. He's written a

175
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: lot on this topic and he will have more on

176
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: that straight ahead. This edition of The DAN o'donald show

177
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: with yours truly, Matt Kittle, stay with us. Some call

178
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: me the Gangster of Love. Some call me Maurice because

179
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: I speak the pompotus of love. But really I'm just

180
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: your old radio ego, Matt Kittle, your radio talk show

181
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: host Phil and Daddy for Dan O'Donnell. On this Friday,

182
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: January second, into the new year. You know, a lot

183
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: of people may have gotten a nice, sweet, quirky impression

184
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: of Portland, Oregon by that show Portlandio with the former

185
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: guy from SNL, you know, because they've did a bunch

186
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: of quirky cats over there in Portland, Oregon. Have you

187
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: been following the news for some time, you know that Portland, Oregon,

188
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: a very beautiful city on the left coast, has degenerated

189
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: into at times a war zone, certainly a drug addicted,

190
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: homeless enclave. Thank you, Liberal governance. Once again, the blue

191
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: slide into ruin continued at an accelerated pace. Last year.

192
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: Conservative columnist Douglas Blair writes about his beloved Portland and

193
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: the stabbing that proves blue cities decline. Douglas joins us

194
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: now on what is the first conversation, perhaps on what

195
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: we will be talking about a lot over the new year,

196
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: and that is Blue City Ruin. Good afternoon, sir, Thank

197
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: you so much for joining us today on the Dan

198
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: O'donnald Show.

199
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: How you doing, I am well.

200
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: Thank you. You are a well you grew up in Portland.

201
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: Give us a sense of how it's changed over that

202
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: time when you were riding your bike safely around that city. Yeah.

203
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: Well, when I was growing up in Portland, it was

204
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 2: one of those cities like you described. It was a

205
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: little funky, had some really beautiful views, great culture, very bohemian.

206
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: But as time went on it was liberal governance that

207
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: really brought the city to its knees. The city that

208
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: I once knew that was nice and clean, has become

209
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: a drug infested healthscape where I mean you can literally

210
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 2: see the walking dead wander and shuffle about the streets,

211
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: addled by drugs, addicted to sentinel. There's you know, crime

212
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: every which way. It's more likely that you'll get stabbed

213
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: and see anything nice these days in Portland. And you

214
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: mentioned I wrote a story this was one of the

215
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: most bewildering stories of the re in recent memory, where

216
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 2: a man was able to get off on a stabbing

217
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: because he was black. The guy he stabbed was white,

218
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: and the guy he stabbed called him racial slur, and

219
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 2: a jury said that is totally acceptable as a reason

220
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: to stab somebody. Therefore, we're going to let you off.

221
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 2: That is the new Portland.

222
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: That is amazing.

223
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 2: It is.

224
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: Amazing, but it should not be surprising to anyone because

225
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: we've seen this movie over and over again in liberal

226
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: cities across this country. We've seen it in Portland, we

227
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: have seen it in Chicago, we have seen it in

228
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: San Francisco, we have seen it in Madison and Milwaukee.

229
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: This kind of nonsense going on, as I understand it, though, Doug,

230
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: you don't have two real upstanding citizens involved in this story.

231
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: But what the jury found in this case was the

232
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: white guy called the black guy a racial epithet after

233
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: he stabbed him, and then the white guy was convicted

234
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: and not convicted, but the black stabber got off because

235
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: of that racial slur.

236
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: That is correct, Matt. So the story goes that this

237
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 2: man approached another guy who was sitting on the just

238
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: sitting on the street, was sitting on a bench enjoying himself.

239
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: They got into an altercation after the white man was stabbed.

240
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 2: He used language that's probably not super appropriate, and that

241
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: was what the jury said. But as you mentioned, these

242
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: are not particularly honorable individuals to begin with. The man

243
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 2: who stabbed the other guy has been known to do this.

244
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: He has a proclivity for stabbing, one might say, so

245
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 2: he'd been arrested multiple times earlier for the very same

246
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: the very same crime, and the stabby the white guy,

247
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 2: the victim was actually charged with child's sexual conducts where

248
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: he was apparently sexually miss missed with the child in

249
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: Washington State. So my theory here is that neither one

250
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: of these men should have been out on the streets

251
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: to do this. But as we've seen with places like Milwaukee,

252
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: as we've seen with places like you know, Portland, New York, Chicago,

253
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: we're seeing that the leftist justice system really isn't a

254
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: justice system at all. It's a system by which people

255
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: who should never be let out of the streets are

256
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: given endless chances in the name of human compassion. Well,

257
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: he may have stabbed this guy, but that doesn't mean

258
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: he'll do it again until he proceeds to stab somebody again,

259
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: but he should deserve another chance. And this just goes

260
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 2: on and on and on and on.

261
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a stabbing enthusiast. This guy in his spare time,

262
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: he likes walks along the beach, moonlit walks along the

263
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: beach and stabbing people, as he's done many multiple times.

264
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: But as you say, he is back on the streets.

265
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: The guy that he's stabbed is a child. He's back

266
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: out on the streets. You see all of these high

267
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: profile incidents. Last year, we watched an innocent young woman,

268
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: horrifying video of an innocent young woman brutally murdered, stabbed

269
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: by a man who was on a Charlotte commuter train

270
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: and just felt like stabbing. Somebody felt in the mood

271
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: to stab somebody. What do you think is gonna happen

272
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: to that guy in that particular leftist you know, restorative

273
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: justice system, right?

274
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that you're you're absolutely hitting on

275
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: something that is really prevalent in these leftist cities, is

276
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 2: that perfectly innocent people are going to die as a

277
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: result of these very light on crime policies coming from

278
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 2: democrats in charge. It's darkly humorous that we mentioned this

279
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: because I was actually doing some research. I was really

280
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: the news in Portland, and it literally happened yesterday where

281
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 2: a man who had been convicted of stabbing people in Portland,

282
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: again different guy, not the same guy as I wrote about,

283
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: was charged with stabbing a seventy seven year old man

284
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 2: at the grocery store for no reason. He had done

285
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: this before, he had been charged and arrested with stabbing somebody,

286
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: and this man might not make it. I mean, like

287
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: we are seeing in real time the consequences of the Democrats'

288
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 2: light on crime policies. Innocent people are dying, they are

289
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: being set on fire, as there was that case I

290
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: believe that was either in Minnesota or we all know

291
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 2: that story, or the stabbing victim in Raleigh, North Carolina

292
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: who was slashed in the next These are perfectly present

293
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: preventable crimes. It's very obvious what the solution is. You

294
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 2: do not let these animals out to hurt innocent people.

295
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: But the Democrats have decided this is the hill the

296
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 2: day would like to die on and prevent the public

297
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 2: from feeling safe in the American cities.

298
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: Douglas Blair, conservative columnist, he's got a great sight where

299
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: you can go to. We're going to tell you more

300
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: about that because a lot of these columns tracking the

301
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: demise of these deep blue cities and deep blue states.

302
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: But people are voting with their feet, aren't they. I mean,

303
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people who have left Portland, Oregon,

304
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: who have left Oregon, who have left these blue states,

305
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: gone somewhere else because they're sick of the insanity, not

306
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: just the crime, but how much they're being taxed, how

307
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: much of their lives are being regulated and attempted to

308
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: be controlled by government. You're seeing that over and over again,

309
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: and you're.

310
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: Reporting absolutely one of the things that we're seeing very clearly,

311
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 2: and as much as Portland's government officials would like to printend,

312
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 2: it's not so people are in fact leaving. I believe

313
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three we saw about a three percent

314
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 2: drop in population in Moltnoma County, which is where Portland

315
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 2: is right smacked up in the middle. But Oregon also

316
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: is seeing a large amount of people leave the state.

317
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 2: I was one of those people where I felt wildly unsafe.

318
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: I felt like I couldn't be rational, and normal people

319
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: that I would talk to would say that I was

320
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 2: a racist and a bigot for not wanting high taxes

321
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: and not wanting to be stabbed in the throat, and

322
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: I moved to Virginia, I am able to own a gun.

323
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: Now I'm able to, you know, feel like I could

324
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: protect myself and my family. And there's lots of people

325
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 2: in the States that are just like that. But this is,

326
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 2: I think what's very important here. It is entirely self inflicted.

327
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 2: So we look at Portland, we look at places like

328
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: New York, who just elected a communist to become the mayor.

329
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 2: And these are the voters who are deciding that they

330
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 2: are accepting the trade off. They are deciding that and

331
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: rather than having Republican or conservative leadership that would bring

332
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 2: things into order, that would reduce the crime rates, that

333
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 2: would lower the taxes, they are more than happy to

334
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: virtual sim virtue signal by putting someone like Mamdani in charge,

335
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: by putting somebody like the DA in Portland who decides that,

336
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: you know, fifty six chances for a guy who stabbed

337
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: somebody as perfectly acceptable. We cannot at the federal level

338
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: change what these people believe. It is very difficult for

339
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: Portland or New York, or Chicago or Milwaukee to get

340
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 2: better unless the voters that are there themselves decide they

341
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: want to change things.

342
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, just have a minute left. Let me ask

343
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: you this, how much does what you are reporting on

344
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: in Portland and all across the Blue United States of America.

345
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: How much is that fueling the MAGA movement? And what

346
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: will that mean in this midterm election coming up.

347
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 2: Look, I think that if people are paying attention, and

348
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: I can tell you for a fact with everybody I

349
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: talk to, they are, this votes very well for the

350
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 2: MAGA movement. Because Democrats have decided that they want to

351
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: die on the hill of criminality, being okay that a

352
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 2: man who stabs somebody or a man who is a

353
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: child molester should be given infinite chances to ruin innocent

354
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: lives out on the streets. Americans want safety, Americans want prosperity.

355
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 2: Americans want to feel like they can go outside and

356
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: not worry about their children or themselves. And there's only

357
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: one party that is pushing for that type of policy.

358
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 2: It is the Republicans. The Democrats have decided that they

359
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 2: don't think that that's important. So if the Democrats continue

360
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: with this, twenty twenty six will be a route. If

361
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: they continue after that, I can see President Vance sitting

362
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: very comfortably in the Oval office and I think that

363
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: it's a very it's very much a given that the

364
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 2: Democrats aren't going to change their ways.

365
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: Very interesting, very interesting, great stuff. Conservative columnist Douglas Blair,

366
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: you've got a substack. Where can we find your work?

367
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 2: If you go to the Blair Broadcast substack, you can

368

Speaker 2: find my work there. I also do work with the

Speaker 1: I've known Douglas Blair for some time. He's doing great

374
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 1: work shining a spotlight on some very bad places so

375
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: that people know and it's that information is absolutely critical.

376
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, I appreciate it. Happy New Year to you.

377
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 2: Thanks MATD. Happy New Year to you as well.

378
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: We'll take a quick break. We're talking government waste, What

379
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: a waste? John Hart, CEO of the Great Government Spending

380
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: watchdog Open the Books, joins us next for an update

381
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: on just how wasteful twenty twenty five was in your government.

382
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 1: That Straight Ahead and the Dan O'Donnell Show with Matt Kittles.

383
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: Stay with us people at the Great Government Spending Watchdog

384
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: Open the Books. They do fantastic work that is so

385
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: critical to the continuation of this exceptional republic, but work

386
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: that will oftentimes make the average taxpayer sick, and it

387
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: should because the amount of waste that we have seen

388
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: in big and bigger and bigger and bigger government is sickening.

389
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: John Hart, CEO the Great Government Spending Watchdog Open the Books,

390
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: find their work at openbooks dot com joins us for

391
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: a look at all the taxpayer money waste that was

392
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, and perhaps a sneak peek at

393
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: some of the waste coming in twenty twenty six. Good afternoon,

394
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: my friend, Thank you so much for joining us again.

395
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 3: Thank you, Matt. It's great to be on. Happy New Years.

396
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to you. Now, is is that a

397
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: safe assessment? Is that a fair assessment? Because listen, you

398
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: guys do incredible work. It is because of you that

399
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 1: we know what our government is doing. Anytime you just

400
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: go to open the books, you can find what your

401
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: government is spending and really wasting your money on. But

402
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: it can be very sickening to look at some of

403
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: this crap that is being in the name of the taxpayer.

404
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 3: That's right, Matt. Look, I think you can be both

405
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 3: nauseated and inspired at the same time. So hopefully just

406
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 3: in a couple of minutes to your listeners, will we'll

407
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 3: have that have that experience. Look know, we we identify

408
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 3: just billions and billions of dollars of waste every year,

409
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 3: and I want to start by talking about some of

410
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 3: the good things that did happen. We saw that the

411
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 3: DEI industrial complex is really in retreat. We exposed a

412
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 3: billion dollars for DEI programs at the University of Virginia,

413
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 3: including an annual twenty million dollar payroll at the school,

414
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 3: and that encouraged the UVA board to dismantle that office

415
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,239
Speaker 3: and the UVA President, Jim Ryan, resigned. So there are

416
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 3: some good things happening. I think one of the most

417
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 3: significant things that happened this year was Doge got access

418
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 3: to something called the Treasury Payment System. Now, the Treasury

419
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 3: Payment system is like I call it, the administrative state

420
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 3: Holy of holies, you know, only the high priests of

421
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:03,239
Speaker 3: progressive governance shall And that was important because you know,

422
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 3: he was dose was criticized for getting access to it

423
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 3: when we should be applauding the government trying to get

424
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: trying to mind the store and see what money's going

425
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: out the door, and what occurred to me, And I'll

426
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: just give you this quick anecdote I was. I was

427
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: running through an airport getting frantic calls from from our

428
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: staff saying, hey, Fox News is trying to corroborate some

429
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: of these reports about condoms going to Gaza and all

430
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 3: these things they're finding, and so we were trying to

431
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 3: verify it. We couldn't find a lot of that information

432
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 3: because there's a delay in what's reported to USA spending.

433
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 3: And that's that's a website that I helped set up

434
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 3: when I worked for Coburt and that was a product

435
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 3: of the Cobra and Obama bill twenty years ago. So

436
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 3: that little episode made me realize we need an upgrade

437
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 3: to our transparency laws. But it's really because of what

438
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 3: Elon A Doge did to get access to that, to

439
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: prove that you can you can have real time, visible

440
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: access to the money going out the door and all

441
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 3: the a lot of people. I was just testified at a

442
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 3: Senate hearing and Ed Markey was going off on Elon

443
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 3: for having access. How dare he have access? And it

444
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: would be inappropect for me to interrupt him. But but

445
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 3: what I wanted to do is to say, Senator, you

446
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 3: can pass the law today to give every taxpayer the

447
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 3: same level of access that that dose goot. And that's

448
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 3: what we need to do. So we need to we

449
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 3: need to upgrade USA spending to create real time transparency

450
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 3: that is technologically feasible. And there is zero excused. It's

451
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 3: not already it's not already a reality. And I give

452
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: the Akramaswami is campaigned on that. It's an idea that

453
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 3: it's out there, it's being talked about, but we need

454
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: to act on it. You know, twenty years ago again

455
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: we looked over the horizon that thought, we need to

456
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 3: create not just a law to put federal spending online,

457
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 3: we need to create a norm that all spending in

458
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: this country, at all levels of government, should be searchable.

459
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 3: And that's what open the Books does is we capture

460
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 3: not just federal but state and local, and so we're

461
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: able to get rid of a lot of individual silly

462
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 3: examples of spending. I think the having the recisions package

463
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 3: was a good step. Having NPR defunded, and look, I'm

464
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 3: a musician, I'm a supporter of the arts. I just

465
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 3: don't think we need to have federal funding subsides in

466
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 3: the arts, and so there's been some good things happening,

467
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 3: but structurally, I think what is very promising is to

468
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: give all taxpayers real time access and that will blow

469
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: the door off a lot of the waste and corruption

470
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,719
Speaker 3: that we see. So I'm hopeful about what we can

471
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 3: accomplish in twenty twenty six.

472
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: Oh, it makes me less nauseous, I have to we're

473
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: talking with We're talking with less nauseous and more inspired.

474
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: That's what we're hoping for today. John Hart, CEO of

475
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: Watchdog Spending Watchdog Open the books. But it does raise

476
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: the question because we are smack dab in the middle

477
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: of one of the biggest fraud scandals in government history.

478
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: And we just look at our neighbor to the west,

479
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 1: the Marxist leading the government under Tim Walls, who could

480
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,479
Speaker 1: have been the vice president of the United States had

481
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: it gone differently. But we see this massive welfare fraud

482
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. I can't help but think if we

483
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: would have had more real time access to that spending

484
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: and to those records, would that have changed the story.

485
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: And it wasn't the information really out there anyway, it's

486
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: just the Minnesota politicians didn't do anything with it.

487
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 2: Sure.

488
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 3: What it does matter is it requires a couple steps.

489
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 3: One is you've got to make the information available and

490
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 3: then what you have to have happened is excuse the

491
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 3: individual taxpayers have to then take the step to investigate

492
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 3: and research. So we do as much as we can

493
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 3: as an organization to do that. We actually have too

494
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 3: much data that we can't even comb through all the

495
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 3: data that we have access to, so we're all that's

496
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 3: why we're always trying to add new people, a new

497
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 3: new personnel. So Nick Shirley is the investigative reporter. His

498
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 3: piece exposing everyone in the country should watch this. It's

499
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,959
Speaker 3: for you know, forty minutes. It's a brilliant piece that

500
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 3: documented money going to these fake entities that of course

501
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,479
Speaker 3: we all know about now these fake daycare centers. Has

502
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty five million views. So what that

503
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 3: shows you is there's a tremendous ground school and appetite

504
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 3: for investigative reporting. And what our job is at Open

505
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 3: the Books is to make sure that everyone in the

506
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 3: country has access to that data. So it would yes,

507
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 3: it will make it much easier if we have a better,

508
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 3: better transparency laws. We're in the middle of some investigations now,

509
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: we're getting you know, we send Floyer requests out all

510
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: the time and sometimes we get you know, school districts

511
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 3: riding back saying okay, well it's going to cost we

512
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 3: need we need you open the books to pay that

513
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 3: the school forty thousand dollars to produce information that should

514
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 3: be publicly available. So when I'm encouraged by what you

515
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 3: see in the soda is the power of citizen activism

516
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 3: and crowdsourced oversight, we want we want to blow that

517
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 3: door wide open in twenty twenty six.

518
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: That's an excellent point. And you know, it's it's interesting

519
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: to me that you were at, you know, the the

520
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: advent of transparency and government, broader transparency in government. As

521
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned before, you were working in Senator Coburn's office

522
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: at the time with my daytime boss Sean Davis of

523
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: the Federal You guys were working in that office, and

524
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: it was not just a conservative. It was a guy

525
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: who was about as liberal as the day is long,

526
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, who put his name on this bill. So

527
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: so just a final question for you why are liberals

528
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: so opposed to transparency when you know their deity in politics?

529
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: Barack Obama put his name on that bill.

530
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 3: Well, I you know, it's it's a couple of reasons.

531
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 3: One is that our politics are so polarized. You have

532
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 3: you have sort of you know, Trump arrangement syndrome, so

533
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 3: people are afraid of doing anything with the administration or

534
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 3: with other conservatives, so that that hurdle has to be cleared.

535
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 3: But then secondly, there's there are a fair number of

536
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 3: progressives that really don't want the public to know how

537
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 3: much money is going to government because more transparency is

538
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,919
Speaker 3: in most cases not going to be helpful for those

539
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,919
Speaker 3: that want to expand government. However, there are many, many

540
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 3: honest progressives, and I would you know, we can depay

541
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 3: whether Barack Obama is an honest progressive, but he's certainly

542
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 3: a progressive. But he was willing to put his name

543
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 3: on a bill with Tom Coburn to to open up

544
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 3: the argument to say, well, let's let's give everyone access

545
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 3: to government spending and then facilitate a healthy debate about

546
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 3: whether we need more or less of it. So I

547
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 3: give Obama a tremendous credit for that. People people can

548
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: have their own opinion about him, but he did make

549
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 3: a decision to do that with Coburt. And today it

550
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 3: makes no sense to me that any progressive that wants

551
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: to quote hold the administration accountable. The first thing you

552
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 3: should be doing is demanding.

553
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 2: Better transparency laws.

554
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 3: And it's in the administration's interest to do that as well.

555
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 3: There is no zero good argument against more transparency. None.

556
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 3: And if the founders could write the Constitution today, they

557
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 3: would demand real time transparency. The word they using in

558
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 3: the Constitution was a regular accounting of statements and receipts. Well,

559
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 3: given today's technology and capabilities, there's zero excuse you can't

560
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: get a receipt right away. It's like anytime you go

561
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 3: to a store and do any kind of purchase, the

562
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 3: cashier does and say, okay, I'll send you a receipt.

563
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 3: In a month or six months, you get a receipt

564
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 3: on the spot. That's how That's how commerce operates in

565
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 3: the second quarter of the twenty first century. So we

566
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 3: need to get with the program and update our transparency laws.

567
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed, I mean it should be as instantaneous as

568
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: the technology in our hands, because it is that instantaneous.

569
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: Unless people have something to hide. If they have something

570
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: to hide, we need to know what that is. The

571
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: only access to it is what the good folks at

572
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 1: Open the Books have been doing for a long time, John,

573
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: is always a pleasure. Keep up the good work in

574
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: twenty twenty.

575
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: Six, Well do you certainly do that.

576
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, you bet, Take care and happy new year,

Speaker 1: the Books. You can find their great work at openthbooks

579
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 1: dot com. Well, here's a little sample of it, as

580
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, some of the recent work that

581
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: they have been doing. Here's a headline for you, Transparency crisis,

582
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: a black box of overhead spending and academia's mission creep

583
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: from rigorous science. A lot of things involved in that,

584
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts and a lot of money

585
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: that has gone into some things that have been an

586
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: abuse of your dollars as a taxpayer, and taxpayers send

587
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: millions to nonprofits filing costly climate related lawsuits. That's been

588
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: a problem for some time. It continues to be a

589
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 1: problem today, and like we've heard this hour, it is

590
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: certainly a federal government problem, but it continues to be

591
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: a big state government problem as well. And that isn't

592
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: going to change until Americans, citizens of these states stand

593
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 1: up and demand transparency and better government, more honest government.

594
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: I know. Good luck with that. Coming up in the

605
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of this exceptional constitutional republic. Don't forget that

606
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: is exactly what it is. It is not a democracy.

607
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 1: It is representative democracy based on a constitutional republic model.

608
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: If we could just get the leftist to read the

609

610

614
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: make no resolutions. I said this the other day on

615
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: one of the fine iHeartRadio stations I have substitute hosted.

616
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm not in the resolution making business. And sometimes these

617
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: resolutions and the focus on making the New Year's resolutions,

618
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: they tick me off so much that I do want

619
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: to make a resolution that is a resolution to eat

620
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: more fatty foods. I haven't smoked in twenty one years now, Yeah,

621
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: twenty one years. I'm going to resolve to start smoking again.

622
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: That's how much these resolutions tick me up. And you

623
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: know how quickly they collapse. If you have made a

624
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 1: resolution to do something in your life to better your life,

625
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: God bless you, and I hope that you are successful.

626
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: But maybe I better han solo it for you and

627
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: not tell you the odds on the success rate of

628
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: the New year resolutions. What do we have coming up

629
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: this hour? Oh yes, indeed we have much to discuss

630
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: in the world of Minnesota's fraud scandal. This thing that

631
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: is exploding thanks to independent journalism, by the way, and

632
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: no thanks to corporate media, which continues to be clown itself.

633
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: And this is the latest exhibit a of the clowns

634
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: that make up corporate media. For the most part, this scandal,

635
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: again is you've got a billions of dollars of fraud,

636
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: of theft from the taxpayer. You would think that some

637
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: of these folks might be curious, and now they've kind

638
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: of been shamed into covering it. But thanks to independent

639
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: journalist Nick Shirley twenty three years old, you have seen

640
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: a lot more attention, a lot more people are very

641
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: concerned about what we've all known for a long time

642
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 1: that government, and the bigger it gets government is peeing

643
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: away our money, wasting it, stealing it, abusing their powers

644
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: with it. So we'll delve into that some funny stuff,

645
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: and I mean funny as in, if we don't laugh,

646
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: we cry, kind of funny. But there's funny stuff coming

647
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: out of this Nuremberg Urrenberg. That's a different story. I'm

648
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: sorry I'm reading ahead here. Out of this fraud scandal.

649
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: The Nuremberg story is interesting. It's a movie. And Christian

650
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: Toto of the excellent Conservative movie review site Hollywood in

651
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: Toto recommends you watch this movie for a couple of reasons,

652
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: not the least of which Christian argues Nuremberg should crush

653
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: Trump derangement syndrome once and for all. What does he

654
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: mean by that. We'll delve into that coming up in

655
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: the four o'clock hour, But right now, let us begin

656
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 1: with mom Donnie's rotting apple. That's right, Zorn Mandanni's socialist,

657
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: communist Marxist rain begins, and oh it is off to

658
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: some fireworks, that's for sure. This is the socialist that

659
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: the Algonquin Roundtable of New York voters put into power.

660
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: First socialist, and he he identifies as a democratic socialist.

661
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 1: He's in the AOC camp, the Bernie Sanders camp, but

662
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: this Ugandan foreign national is really in the full on

663
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: Marxist camp. As he said in his inauguration speech yesterday,

664
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: he is committed to what did he call it, comfortable collectivism,

665
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: the warmth of collectivism, that's right, the warmth of collectivism.

666
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what the warmth of collectivism is.

667
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: Do you remember that scene from Red Dawn movie back

668
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: in the eighties with Patrick Swayzee and some members of

669
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: the brat Pack, some of the gals that went on

670
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: to be rather famous for a while in the movies.

671
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: And the Russians take over for this portion of the

672
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,320
Speaker 1: United States, the western portion, somewhere in the mountains. I

673
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: don't know, is it Montana or Wyoming anyway. The Wolverines,

674
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: they're a group of high school kids wearing their school jacket.

675
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: They're part of the Wolverines athletic team. That's their that

676
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 1: is their their symbol, the Wolverine for their athletic team.

677
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: And the Russians and the Cubans working together, rounding up

678
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: the Americans in this small town. They put them into camps,

679
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: and you'll see the parents of these kids and other

680
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: adults gathering around a barrel with fire warming their hands

681
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: over top of it while they're Communist overlords try to

682
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: pacify the Wolverines, the fighting teenagers who are rebelling against

683
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: this communist takeover. That's the warmth of collectivism right there.

684
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: So Mom, Donnie talking about a kinder compassionate communism apparently

685
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: in New York has for his uh, his stand. The

686
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: guy who is standing up and representing the future is

687
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 1: an angry old man shouting, get off my lawn. Capitalist. Basically,

688
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:43,839
Speaker 1: that's that's that's what we have. Because Bernie Sanders, none

689
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: other than Big Bernie Sanders, is called on to make

690
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: the big speech for Zorn Mom Donnie, and Bernie says

691
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: to the nation. During this speech, he says, you know,

692
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people have accused this movement of being

693
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: what did he say, being communist, being activist. If activism

694
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: is making sure that people have affordable housing, then that's fine.

695
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 1: We're activists. Is this it here? Yeah, get a load

696
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: of this. I think this is the the Bernie Sanders cut. No,

697
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: that's not it. But Sanders, the cookie cutter, old man's socialist,

698
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 1: standing up along with AOC and telling the nation that

699
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: you have nothing, nothing to fear whatsoever from Zorn Mam

700
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: Dannie the communist who tells you all about collective warm collectivism.

701
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: That's the winning combination right there. Again, Let's listen into

702
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of what Bernie was telling the crowd

703
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: to govern. Another guy had a thermometer into in the

704
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:34,919
Speaker 1: day to day struggles of the All right, I think

705
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: we have a I think I heard two clips. Apparently

706
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: someone was talking about a thermometer in a certain place,

707
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 1: and perhaps they were talking about Bernie Sanders, I'm not sure,

708
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,760
Speaker 1: but ultimately what we are seeing in New York City,

709
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: New York City, Yes, New York City, is the beginning

710
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 1: of the end of the center of capitalism, the symbol

711
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: of wealth, the symbol of prosperity, the symbol of individual ruggedness.

712
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: As mister mom Donnie eshoes when he says, let us

713
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: get rid of rugged individualism and traded in for the

714
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: warmth of collectivism. And what does he mean by that, Well,

715
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: he means rent control. That basically means, okay, you landlords,

716
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,800
Speaker 1: we're going to make you have to charge a certain

717
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: rate based on what we feel is fair in the government.

718
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 1: And that means you are going to destroy your housing marketplace.

719
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: We've seen it before. That's the recipe for it. The

720
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: Zorron mom Donnie wants to see the government operating grocery

721
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: stores so they can get to the affordability crisis that

722
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: the left is talking about. Why don't you take a

723
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: look at Kansas City, Missouri as the model for government

724
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:32,839
Speaker 1: run grocery stores. Look that up, Zorn, massive failure, and

725
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: the taxpayer, once again is on the hook for it.

726
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: This is the guy who wants to sock it to the.

727
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 2: Rich.

728
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: He wants to make sure that the rich are paying

729
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:52,440
Speaker 1: their fair share. That's how they describe it. That's how

730
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: Bernie likes to talk about it, of course, and he's

731
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: been saying that for a long time. But what happens

732
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: when that is put into place? Not saying there isn't

733
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: a taxing structure for the wealthy. They are paying the

734
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: vast majority of the taxes in this country. But now

735
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: let's say you jack that up quite a bit. What

736
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: do you think happens there? You think the wealthy just

737
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 1: sit back and let their wealth be taxed. No, they don't.

738
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:30,240
Speaker 1: And you know you can ask about that particular situation.

739
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: Robert de Niro, Yes, Bobby de Niro, the case study

740
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 1: for Trump derangement syndrome, the actor of some fantastic movies.

741
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: But the old man who has gone bat you know what,

742
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: crazy in his older years, in his loathing, in his

743
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: hatred for Donald Trump. That Robert de Niro who goes

744
00:51:56,080 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: on MSNBC and rants like an incoherent Bernie Sanders. That

745
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: Robert DeNiro says he's gonna have to leave New York

746
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: City because well, if the guy that he thought might

747
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: be a good idea for New York does what he

748
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: wants to do and taxes the hell out of the rich.

749
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: Bobby's in that category, he's in that one percent. And well,

750
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 1: he's not making a lot of money these days, even

751
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: though he's still making movies, and he's still making money

752
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: on the movies that he made, but he's counting on

753
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: his savings. He doesn't want that tax on his wealth.

754
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: He may have to move, may have to leave the

755
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: Big Apple. And there are a lot of multi multi

756
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: millionaires and billionaires living in New York City that may

757
00:52:56,120 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 1: not be living there anymore, including a number of people

758
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,879
Speaker 1: making a very good living because you have to make

759
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: a very good living to live in that place, in

760
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: part because there are so many people living in that

761
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: place competing for the same space, the same limited space.

762
00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: That's what you get when you have a metropolis like

763
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 1: New York City. But they'll be voting with their feet.

764
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: And when he doesn't have the tax dollars to pay

765
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: for his socialist, communist Marxist experiences and experiments, well that's

766
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: when things really get ugly. Because once the very wealthy

767
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:43,319
Speaker 1: are gone, who are you going to shake down? You

768
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: shake down who's left. It'll be interesting to see how

769
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 1: quickly this thing collapses on the socialist who believe that

770
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: this is the way of the future by not looking

771
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: at the misery of the past created by socialism and communism.

772
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: But don't come back to the American taxpayer like you

773
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: did in the nineteen seventies asking to be bailed out

774
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: when you fail New York City because you asked for this.

775
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, AOC and Zoron Mom Donnie have given it

776
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: to you, but you ain't seen nothing yet. All right,

777
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: stay with us. We'll take a look at another big

778
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: scam scandal, that is the welfare fraud scandal of Minnesota

779
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 1: in the Somali community. Will delve into the absurd stuff

780
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 1: we've been seeing over the last twenty four forty eight hours.

781
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: That straight ahead on this edition of the Dan o'donnald Show,

782
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: with yours truly, Matt Kittle, stay with us. Kittle, I

783
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: solemnly swear I pledge to the best of my ability

784
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: that I will not mix up Bernie Sanders clip including

785
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: sound of some woman talking about penis thermometers. That was

786
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 1: not our producer, Eric Paulson. I want that noted for

787
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 1: the record. That was my bad. We had two audio

788
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: clips running at the same time, and that's a sort

789
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 1: of milege just actually quite honestly seem to fit together

790
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: when you're talking about Bernie Sanders. I won't delve any

791
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: further into that. Oh, I have bad news. Perhaps you

792
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: didn't hear it earlier on in the show, maybe you

793
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: haven't heard this, but it appears that one of the

794
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: daycare facilities in Minneapolis, one of those Somali owned daycare centers,

795
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: accused of stealing millions of dollars from taxpayers. It appears

796
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:05,799
Speaker 1: that they are indeed now victims of a crime. That's right,

797
00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: they've been burgled. It's been a burglary one of the

798
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: so called daycare sites funded by federal tax dollars in

799
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: this multi billion dollar scam. Let's take a quick listen

800
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: into the gentlemen who held a press conference this week

801
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: about the the burglary.

802
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, we saw that there was important documentation enrollment of

803
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:40,120
Speaker 4: the children and also employee documentation that was gone. There

804
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 4: were also tech books now are ripped from our techpapers

805
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 4: that are from our book. Oh goodness, this is devastating news. Yes,

806
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 4: and we don't know why this is targeting. Are some

807
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 4: on the community.

808
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: I can I can probably offer you a guess as

809
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: to why it is targeting your targeting your Somali community.

810
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: Also have a bit of suspicion on who might be

811
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 1: the targets of all of this. Truly, some funny things

812
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: noted by the way the guy again the guy that

813
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: they put up there, the Somali guy in the Yankees cap,

814
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: and the horn drim glasses that they put up at

815
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: this press conference to explain to the world, Hey, we

816
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 1: know there are multiple allegations of our daycare, if you will,

817
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 1: committing fraud against the American taxpayer, but we just want

818
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: you to know that we ourselves, we have had our

819
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:47,439
Speaker 1: property stolen from us. As Greg Price, who always does

820
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: a great job in getting this information out to the public,

821
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: as he wrote on x our daycare was broken into

822
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: last night and the only things that were stolen just

823
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: so happened to be the documents that could potentially incriminate

824
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: us in fraud. He responded to a tweet an ex

825
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: post from end Wokeness. Important documents were stolen from our daycare,

826
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: such as student employee information. That is interesting to say

827
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 1: the least. There's a great meme out there now. A

828
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:35,600
Speaker 1: post from a longtime police officer. His name is Zeke Arkham,

829
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 1: and he writes this, Yeah, so, as a cop who

830
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: has investigated literally hundreds of burglaries over a twenty year career,

831
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:49,760
Speaker 1: I can tell you that no burglar has ever stopped

832
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: and stolen enrollment paperwork. Let me guess the cameras in

833
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: the facility magically broke and stopped recording while the burglary

834
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: was making place. If I worked for Minneapolis PD, it

835
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't take me forty eight hours to debunk all of this.

836
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: If you worked for Milwaukee PD, you wouldn't be investigating

837
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 1: any of this fraud that was actually committed. You might

838
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: be saying that you're investigating the victimization of the Somali community,

839
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: the reported death threats now and the racial slurs being

840
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 1: bandied about against the Somali community. Charges of racism of course,

841
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: as xenophobia always follow these kinds of things. But at

842
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we have some extremely serious

843
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 1: allegations of arguably the most significant fraud perpetrated on them

844
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: American taxpayer and on a US and state governments, all

845
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: under the watchful eye of Governor Tampon Tim Walls, who

846
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: has oh he stepped up and he has said doesn't. Yes,

847
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: I take accountability. I take accountability when we have the

848
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 1: most successful state in the Union. This is what he says.

849
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: I take accountability. I'm gonna put people in jail for

850
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: this sort of thing. I take accountability. I take accountability

851
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: for being a super groovy guy. Yeah, I'll take Yeah,

852
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: I'll take the blame for that. Tim Wall says, yeah,

853
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: rocking this flannel shirt. Mm hmm. Yeah, you can blame

854
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 1: me for that all you want. Look good, don't it. Dufus?

855
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: Tim Wall says, yeah. When it comes to deer hunting

856
01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: and doing manlike things, just watch me load this gun here,

857
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: and you can tell that I am an official man

858
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: guy dude, a real man like guy dude, wearing this

859
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: flannel shirt and loading, well badly, loading the shotgun for

860
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: deer hunting, which I am about to deer hunt. And

861
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 1: I am not responsible for the massive fraud perpetrated on

862
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: the American taxpayer that's been going on for some time.

863
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 1: And it took an independent twenty three year old journalist

864
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: to go door to door to these facilities because the

865
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: corporate media refused to do it, to finally expose this crap.

866
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: This is where we are at in this scandal, and

867
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: it is a scandal that would that should take down

868
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 1: the moron governor who was in control of the Minnesota

869
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:15,560
Speaker 1: government when all of this stuff was happening. Will it Accountability?

870
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: Real accountability is a hard thing to come by. I

871
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 1: like this meme that's out there. This might sound familiar

872
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 1: to you on the story two white men just broke

873
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: into my daycare yelling slurs and this is mega country.

874
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 1: They stole all the records that prove the daycare was legitimate. Again,

875
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: they're just Jesse smalletting. It is that a term. There

876
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 1: are many ways that the left, and they're minions in

877
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 1: corporate media, have the clowned themselves. This is the latest

878
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: from Fox News. CNN roasted for effort to discredit that

879
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: investigative reporter that an independent investigative reporter I just told

880
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:12,680
Speaker 1: you about is viral reporting an alleged fraud at a

881
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: Minnesota daycare centers. Ted Cruz, Republican Texas and prominent conservative

882
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 1: pundits all the way to average Americans Wednesday roasted CNN

883
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: for a segment that questioned viral reporting from independent journalist

884
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Nick Shirley. Sureley went viral last week for his forty

885
01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 1: two minute video investigating Minnesota daycare centers that appeared inactive

886
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 1: despite receiving millions of dollars in government funding. His video

887
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: prompted investigations by federal officials, leading the US Department of

888
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: Health and Human Services to freeze all childcare payments to Minnesota,

889
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: which should be the case. Actually it should have been

890
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 1: the case a long time ago, but fraud never seen.

891
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: CNN correspondent Whitney wild interviewed Shirley in a segment featured

892
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 1: on Anderson Cooper three sixty. That Anderson Cooper three sixty,

893
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 1: it's all about giving you a three sixty view of

894
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: the stories that are important to you, the stories that

895
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 1: are moving world leaders, the stories that well, the stories

896
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: that are the big big deal. Of course, that three

897
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: sixty motion just means a total three sixty turn on

898
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 1: everything that is left wing, everything that perpetuates the left,

899
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: every everything that defends the left. That's what the three

900
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 1: sixty is all about. So Whitney Wilde is interviewed is

901
01:04:55,240 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: interviewing Shirley in a segment Tuesday Night, during which wild

902
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: question Shirley methods of investigating the centers after peppering Shirley

903
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 1: with questions. The CNN reporter said the network is looking

904
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 1: into his claims. That's right, CNN is investigating the independent

905
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: investigative reporter who documented going door to door to these

906
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: ostensibly legit daycare centers and finding that they're not They're

907
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: not even there. There are no children there, there aren't

908
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: people there, but they're cutting checks. They are getting a

909
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 1: lot of money for being these childcare facilities. The segment

910
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 1: was quickly panned on social media. Wild reported this. Only

911
01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: one day care facility answered and said they were a

912
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 1: legitimate business. That's what she reported. She is shown calling

913
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 1: Minnesota daycare centers via speaker phone, acknowledging many of the

914
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: centers surely visited did not pick up her calls. Oh really,

915
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: that's interesting because that's exactly what Nick Shurley reported. Many

916
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: suggested CNN was spending more time investigating Nick Shirley than

917
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 1: the fraud in Minneapolis. Fox News host Laura Ingram wrote,

918
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: no one on Earth is surprised that CNN appears to

919
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: side with Somali fraudsters. The popular account libs of TikTok wrote,

920
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: CNN disputes that there's fraud in Minnesota. In Minnesota Somali

921
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: daycares because they called a bunch of daycares. One answered,

922
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: So they asked if they're committing fraud in the daycare responded,

923
01:06:55,200 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: they're not. I'm not kidding. That's what passes reporting on CNN.

924
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 1: New York Post columnist Miranda Devine added, what an embarrassment CNN.

925
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: She interviews Nick Shirley in person, but not the daycare center,

926
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,840
Speaker 1: and then she takes the word of the the one

927
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 1: day care center she contacts by phone but does not

928
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: visit that they are legit. Seriously, surely has been in

929
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 1: a position to have to defend his reporting from the

930
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 1: CNNs of the world, from the Washington Post in the

931
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 1: New York Times. You know the same people that won

932
01:07:39,200 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: Pulitzer Prizes for their Russian hoax coverage. That is to say,

933
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 1: the same corporate media news outlets that perpetuated the Russia

934
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: hoax and many other of the left ssyop operations. And

935
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: they have been found to have been very wrong, if

936
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 1: not corrupt, in the reporting of those stories. But they're

937
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 1: keeping the poetzers. So CNN's angle here is to try

938
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: and discredit Nick Shirley while patting authorities for pursuing fraud

939
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 1: on the back, but hilariously, two minutes in the network

940
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: buries the lead. We reached out to several of the

941
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,880
Speaker 1: daycares featured in the now viral video. Only one day

942
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: care facility answered and said they are a legitimate business.

943
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 1: Just take the one person's word for it. Journalist Benjamin

944
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: Winegarden responded, and it goes on. It's just it really

945
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: is as absurd as you think it can get. But

946
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 1: every time you have this clown show of corporate media

947
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: showing you how truly unnecessary they are, truly what propagandists

948
01:08:56,160 --> 01:09:00,040
Speaker 1: they are, they find a way to become more so

949
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:07,240
Speaker 1: more absurd. Stay tuned. Definitely more to come on this story.

950
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 1: We'll take a quick break, wrap it up with a

951
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,680
Speaker 1: few spare thoughts straight ahead on this Friday edition of

952
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: the Dan O'donnald Show with yours truly, Matt Kittle. Dan's

953
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: back with you, same bat time, same bat channel on Monday.

954
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: Until then It's yours trulier old radio ego, emphasis on

955
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:30,719
Speaker 1: old and aging. Quickly Matt Kittle, excellent producer Eric Paulson

956
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 1: taking care of us here. Yes, indeed, I'm not sure

957
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 1: if you heard about this but over the last several

958
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 1: days the word was announced that we lost one of

959
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 1: the all time greats, one of the all time beauties,

960
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 1: a woman who, let us just say, informed my preview

961
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: essence and my adolescence with some wonderful feature films like

962
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 1: and God Made Woman. Her name Bridget Bardow. She passed

963
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 1: away at the age of ninety one this week. Sad

964
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:21,200
Speaker 1: to say, but beyond the passing of a legend film star, model,

965
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:33,360
Speaker 1: humane activist, you have now one of the big names

966
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: of Billy Joels. We didn't start the fire. Exiting that list,

967
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, there were what fifty nine fifty nine names

968
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 1: listed in Billy Joel's big pop song history lesson, we

969
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: didn't start the fire. It got an update following Bridget

970
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 1: Bardow's death on Sunday. Like I said, the nineteen eighty

971
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:01,600
Speaker 1: nine song list fifty nine people both famous and infamous

972
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:07,439
Speaker 1: at the piano man immortalized by my being important. You know,

973
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: you know how this thing goes, don't you a little

974
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 1: bit something like this, But we didn't start the fire.

975
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: It's always turned since the world been Yeah, so you

976
01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:20,679
Speaker 1: know all that sort of stuff, And he mentions, of course,

977
01:11:20,960 --> 01:11:24,720
Speaker 1: a lot of very well known names, some not so

978
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 1: well known names. Of course. The list includes, by the way,

979
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Johnny Ray, poor old Johnny Ray, Marilyn Monroe, so many others.

980
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 1: But now there are only three living members on the

981
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 1: we didn't start the fire lyrics list. Who are they? Well,

982
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 1: Bridget Bardow is now gone, as we told you, So

983
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 1: that leaves Bob Dylan mm hmm, Chubby Checker and a

984
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,240
Speaker 1: guy that, unless you're a certain age you may not know,

985
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 1: Bernard Gets. Is that name ring a bell to you

986
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 1: if it does? A year around my age or older?

987
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 1: Maybe some a little bit younger. Remember Bernie Gets, he

988
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 1: was the vigilante on the New York subway back in

989
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: what eighty four, early mid nineteen eighties, He shot the

990
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 1: thugs on the subway and that became a national story

991
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:32,679
Speaker 1: about vigilanteism versus you know, dealing with rising crime once

992
01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 1: again in New York City. Bernie Gets is still kicking.

993
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan is what eighty three eighty four? Now, Chubby Checker, well,

994
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 1: let's just say he's not doing the twist on a

995
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:50,799
Speaker 1: regular basis, I don't believe. But let's take a look

996
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 1: at some of the names in this song. Now, of course,

997
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:56,479
Speaker 1: a lot of these folks were dead before Billy Joel

998
01:12:56,520 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: got to him. Harry Truman, Yeah, gone, Let's have a

999
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:06,080
Speaker 1: full check in to see see who's with us. Doris

1000
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 1: Day expired, Johnny Ray, as I said before out columnist

1001
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 1: Walter Winschel, he was long gone before this song started.

1002
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 1: Joe DiMaggio, Where have you gone? Joelton? Joe Uh to

1003
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 1: his great reward again a long time ago? Joe McCarthy,

1004
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's own Richard Millhouse Nixon, I am not a crook,

1005
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: nor am I alive. Marilyn Monroe, Yes, just asked, the Kennedys,

1006
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 1: Soviet Spies, the Rosenbergs, Sugar Ray Robinson, the boxer, Marlon Brando,

1007
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: the whore, Dwight Eisenhower, I like Ike? Should I say

1008
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 1: I Likedke because he's been passed for some time as well,

1009
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth not too long ago? Boxer Rocky Marciano, Oh,

1010
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's own Liberaci once again. Obviously, with fifty nine names,

1011
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:13,160
Speaker 1: the list goes on some of the more popular names

1012
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 1: that resonate throughout history, of course, Elvis Presley, Albert Einstein,

1013
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 1: Buddy Holly, the Day the Music died, of course, and

1014
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 1: Nikita Kruzchev slammed his shoe on the un table a

1015
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 1: long time ago, just as he took his last breath

1016
01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 1: a long time ago. So that's it. Just three people

1017
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 1: still alive on the fifty nine names in Billy Joel's

1018
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: big pop song history lesson we Didn't Start the Fire.

1019
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: I might add one more thing. If you listen to

1020
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: that song, Crack is still with us, Yes it is.

1021
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 1: You know, you're right about that. There are a number

1022
01:15:09,320 --> 01:15:13,639
Speaker 1: of things that still remain, not people, but things, And yes,

1023
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 1: Crack is still here, Aids is here. It's really changed,

1024
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 1: of course since the early to mid nineteen eighties when

1025
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 1: Bernie gets was punching up and shooting down thugs. Some

1026
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: other things that are in the list of lyrics remain

1027
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 1: as well. But like I said, the people that we

1028
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,680
Speaker 1: got to know or maybe know again through Billy Joel,

1029
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:46,760
Speaker 1: most of them are gone. Do you notice, too, Eric

1030
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 1: that the song we Didn't Start the Fire gives a

1031
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:56,520
Speaker 1: lot of weight to the Cold War, you know, fifties

1032
01:15:56,680 --> 01:16:02,639
Speaker 1: and sixties. There's like maybe a verse and a half

1033
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:07,879
Speaker 1: dedicated to the nineties, excuse me, the seventies and the eighties.

1034
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 1: Of course, it came out in nineteen eighty nine. They

1035
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 1: really do give short shrift to I don't see any

1036
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: mention of shoulder pads in women's clothing, none of that. Yeah,

1037
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:27,880
Speaker 1: I suppose so, But not a lot going on in

1038
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: the eighties. The aforementioned Bernie gets crack cocaine. That's quite

1039
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: a time final story for you this hour before we

1040
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 1: head off to the five o'clock hour. I like this.

1041
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 1: The Ninth Circuit has issued a court ruling that the

1042
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:51,440
Speaker 1: University of Washington is not allowed to punish a professor

1043
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: for making fun of the land acknowledgments they tried to

1044
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 1: force on their staff. You know these land acknowledgments. Yeah, UW.

1045
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 1: Matt in, the Tony Evers and his crew, they're all

1046
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 1: into the well, we acknowledge that this land is not ours.

1047
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 1: It was stolen from the Native Americans who lived here.

1048
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: But they never mention in that is that the land

1049
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 1: that the Native Americans they're talking about held was stolen

1050
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 1: by other Native Americans before they stole that from those

1051
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 1: Native Americans, which stole it from other Native Americans over

1052
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:37,760
Speaker 1: the long course of the human race. But anyway, this

1053
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:42,879
Speaker 1: professor said he was through with this. He got sued

1054
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 1: and the Appeals Court said, yeah, it has a right

1055
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 1: to say what he wants to say, even if it

1056
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,800
Speaker 1: irritates you. This is what the professor said. I acknowledge

1057
01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 1: that by the labor theory of property, this is from

1058
01:17:56,520 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: Washington State, the coast Selish people claim historical ownership of

1059
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: almost none of the land currently occupied by the University

1060
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 1: of Washington, he wrote in a twenty twenty two version

1061
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: of the statement in his sillipsis read. Faculty, staff and

1062
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 1: students went into a frenzy of despair over the professor's statement,

1063
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 1: with some administration calling it offensive and others whining on

1064
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: social media about it. He put it straight, though, that

1065
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 1: land was occupied by other tribes and other tribes before

1066
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 1: that long ago. That's why these land acknowledgments are so

1067
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: absolutely stupid and kneeling, genuflecting. Terrible straight ahead. More to

1068
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: come The Dan o'donnald Show with Matt Kittle. Hang on,

Speaker 1: this show down the road, fleeting fifty four fifty three

1076
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,719
Speaker 1: minutes of it right now. We have much to discuss

1077
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 1: coming up. Dan's back with you once again on Monday.

1078
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 1: In fact, our full lineup is back in action after

1079
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 1: the holiday break. I know they will have much to

1080
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: discuss when they get behind the microphone once again. Lots

1081
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,640
Speaker 1: of interesting stuff right around the corner. I'm hoping. I

1082
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 1: think we have a little too much to do this hour.

1083
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: Then we can get done. But this is what I'm

1084
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 1: hoping to accomplish here in the five o'clock hour of

1085
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnells Show, the top twenty five leftist lives

1086
01:19:56,280 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: of twenty five. Federalist has the list, and as I

1087
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:07,360
Speaker 1: understand it, and I have personal knowledge on this, it

1088
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 1: was very difficult to whittle it down to just twenty

1089
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:14,760
Speaker 1: five leftist lives. But they had to stop it at

1090
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: twenty five because that's the year that just passed, That's

1091
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:21,600
Speaker 1: the year that just was. We'll delve into that coming up.

1092
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 1: If we get a chance to the worst criminal illegal

1093
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: immigrants of twenty twenty five. Some of them would make

1094
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 1: the dumbest criminal list. We'll perhaps look at both. And

1095
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 1: I do want to get to the merry medical Christmas letters.

1096
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 1: Have you experienced one of these? If you have, you

1097
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 1: know exactly what I'm talking about. You get one of

1098
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 1: those long form Christmas letters folded up and packaged into

1099
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 1: a lovely Christmas card, and in it says joy to

1100
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,439
Speaker 1: the world. You know, Merry Christmas, and I hope the

1101
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 1: joy of the season finds you. And then you get

1102
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:01,599
Speaker 1: into the latter and it says, oh, I spent all

1103
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:09,080
Speaker 1: year dealing with my prostate problems and the like. There's

1104
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 1: an interesting column on this front. Will delve into that

1105
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 1: coming up a little bit later this hour FO show. Okay,

1106
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: but let us beget Okay, let us begin here. This

1107
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 1: is a great site. If you haven't seen it already,

1108
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 1: I strongly recommend it. It's called Hollywood in Toto. Its

1109
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 1: slogan is the right take on Entertainment. The right take

1110
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 1: on entertainment means what it says. This is a rarity.

1111
01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:44,479
Speaker 1: Christian Toto, the founder and the main content producer for

1112
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: this website. Hollywood in Toto takes the view that you

1113
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: don't find too often in criticism entertainment in general, but

1114
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 1: movie reviews in particular. He looks at it through a

1115
01:22:02,840 --> 01:22:06,559
Speaker 1: conservative lens, and like I said, that is an absolute

1116
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 1: rarity these days. In his latest post, he talks about

1117
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:17,759
Speaker 1: the film Nuremberg, which is getting rave reviews. Of course,

1118
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:24,719
Speaker 1: Christian Toto says Russell Russell Crowe mesmerizes as the face

1119
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:32,519
Speaker 1: of Nazi atrocities in a fact based drama. There are

1120
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 1: some out there who will say that Russell Crowe's singing

1121
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:44,040
Speaker 1: in Les Miserrab several years ago was an atrocity unto itself,

1122
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:47,760
Speaker 1: but that's neither here nor there. We're dealing with the now.

1123
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:51,400
Speaker 1: Give you a little bit of what Christian Toto writes.

1124
01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:55,640
Speaker 1: I think it's well done. Nuremberg offers a slick, satisfying

1125
01:22:55,720 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: look at critical trials following the third Reich's demise, until

1126
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 1: it doesn't. Buried in the middle of this well packaged

1127
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 1: drama is shocking footage of the Holocaust atrocities. What might

1128
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: seem tonally imbalanced is actually a perfectly perfectly deployed smart bomb.

1129
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:26,640
Speaker 1: It is vital to the story in play, while reminding

1130
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: reminding anyone caught up in well tds and anyone cold

1131
01:23:38,680 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 1: enough to compare President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler that

1132
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: they should be ashamed of themselves. In fact, they probably

1133
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 1: should be getting some serious psychiatric help, maybe around the clock. Yes,

1134
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: Writer director James Vanderbilt's film is shrewdly assembled and brimming

1135
01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: with snappy dialogue. Why behind the film and its vital

1136
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 1: importance at the end of twenty twenty five comes through

1137
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 1: with those visuals never forget it all but screams and

1138
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:17,639
Speaker 1: in many ways too many global citizens have it renders

1139
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:26,040
Speaker 1: Nuremberg a first class film and cultural necessity. He raises

1140
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 1: a lot of good points here in this piece. You

1141
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:33,720
Speaker 1: can read it further once again at hollywoodintoto dot com.

1142
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 1: The author is the founder of that website, Christian Toto.

1143
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 1: But even today we are getting stories about the latest

1144
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:52,479
Speaker 1: mayor of New York City just stepped in zorn Mom Donnie,

1145
01:24:54,840 --> 01:25:02,040
Speaker 1: the first socialist, Communist Marxist elected to lead the Center

1146
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:04,759
Speaker 1: of Capitalism New York City. We've talked a lot about

1147
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: Mamdani of late, but it just hammers home what Christian

1148
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 1: Total writes about in Nuremberg. The headline from Fox News

1149
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 1: Mamdani disputes anti Semitism definition amid blowback from Jewish community

1150
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 1: about day one executive orders. The first day in office,

1151
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:28,839
Speaker 1: get a load of this. Zoran Mamdani, the newly sworn

1152
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,680
Speaker 1: in mayor of New York City, suggested Friday that the

1153
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 1: widely adopted definition of anti Semitism from the International Holocaust

1154
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 1: Remembrance Alliance does not actually protect Jewish New Yorkers. The

1155
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 1: mayor spoke amid backlash over day one executive orders that

1156
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: have angered many Jewish and civil rights groups. The self

1157
01:25:53,320 --> 01:26:04,080
Speaker 1: described democratic socialist, the Ugandan foreign national, who it was

1158
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:08,280
Speaker 1: the first Muslim elected mayor of New York City, also

1159
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 1: dismissed allegations that the timing of his executive orders, which

1160
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 1: came just hours after he was sworn in, were illustrative

1161
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 1: of what critics have argued is his record of hostility

1162
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 1: toward Israel and the Jewish community. Remember, this is the

1163
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:31,479
Speaker 1: same guy who not too long ago was cheering on

1164
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 1: the slogans of International Intifada River to the Sea. Kind

1165
01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:42,760
Speaker 1: of stuff and the idea behind that, no matter what

1166
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 1: its purveyors want to say, is wiping out Israel as

1167
01:26:53,120 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 1: it is. It is absolutely antisemitic and it's hard to

1168
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 1: escape that, just like it is or should be hard

1169
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:11,599
Speaker 1: to escape what happened on October seven, twenty twenty three,

1170
01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 1: what happened for many years in Europe to Jews during

1171
01:27:16,960 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 1: the Holocaust. But here we are when we speak about

1172
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:26,799
Speaker 1: the IHR definition that you asked about, you know, protecting

1173
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,320
Speaker 1: Jewish New Yorkers is going to be a focus of

1174
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 1: my administration. And I also know that a number, as

1175
01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:36,799
Speaker 1: you said, of leading Jewish organizations have immense concerns around

1176
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:40,760
Speaker 1: this definition. Mom Donnie said in a response to questions

1177
01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:45,679
Speaker 1: about his executive orders Friday afternoon in Brooklyn, there are concerns.

1178
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 1: Because these are understandable concerns. What we will do is

1179
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,439
Speaker 1: actually deliver on our commitment to protect Jewish New Yorkers

1180
01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:56,960
Speaker 1: in a manner that is able to actually fulfill that,

1181
01:27:57,439 --> 01:28:02,080
Speaker 1: he added before moving on to another question. But when

1182
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 1: asked about the criticism regarding the speed of the executive

1183
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 1: orders aimed at rescinding protections against anti Semitism in New

1184
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 1: York City, Mamdani did not directly answer the question. We've

1185
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:20,480
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of this sort of stuff before obfuscating

1186
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:23,960
Speaker 1: You're going to see a lot more of this because

1187
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:31,240
Speaker 1: the people who elected Mamdani to a great degree believe

1188
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 1: from the River to the sea rhetoric more than a

1189
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:42,080
Speaker 1: few on the campuses of Columbia University and those massive

1190
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 1: protests against Israel and against the Jewish people. As the

1191
01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:53,840
Speaker 1: numeyor of a city, you have to sign a continuation

1192
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:56,680
Speaker 1: of all prior executive orders, or a revocation or an

1193
01:28:56,680 --> 01:28:59,679
Speaker 1: amendment of all of them. And so what we did

1194
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:03,120
Speaker 1: was sign an executive order that continued every executive order

1195
01:29:03,160 --> 01:29:06,639
Speaker 1: that predated the moment when our former mayor was indicted,

1196
01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 1: a moment when many New Yorkers lost even more faith

1197
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:13,639
Speaker 1: in New York City politics. This is all one thought,

1198
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 1: one sentence from Zorn Mamdani, who is trying to hide

1199
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 1: from explaining why he removed protections for Jewish citizens of

1200
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:29,640
Speaker 1: New York. And what we will do now is showcase

1201
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:32,519
Speaker 1: that the new era to protect each and every New

1202
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:35,600
Speaker 1: Yorker and to deliver for those same New Yorkers in

1203
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:38,600
Speaker 1: a manner that they have not seen under prior administrations.

1204
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:42,120
Speaker 1: What the hell does that mean? Well, as you can understand,

1205
01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:47,639
Speaker 1: there are a number of Jewish citizens in New York

1206
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:53,880
Speaker 1: City that don't feel very comfortable about rescinding protections against

1207
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 1: anti Semitism in New York City because they have seen

1208
01:29:58,640 --> 01:30:06,080
Speaker 1: not only verbiage of anti Semitism, that's one thing. They

1209
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:10,320
Speaker 1: have seen acts of violence against Jews firsthand in New

1210
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:15,400
Speaker 1: York City over and over again. And one can argue

1211
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:20,680
Speaker 1: that an executive order in itself isn't going to protect

1212
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:24,400
Speaker 1: a group of people, particularly a group of people that

1213
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:29,600
Speaker 1: has been targeted over the years for hatred and violence.

1214
01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:36,640
Speaker 1: At the same time, it does send a message, doesn't it.

1215
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:42,720
Speaker 1: It does send a message to communities, not just one community,

1216
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:54,839
Speaker 1: but multiple communities that the days of protecting Jewish citizens

1217
01:30:54,880 --> 01:31:00,160
Speaker 1: of New York City might indeed be over, or at

1218
01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 1: least an emphasis on that with this new regime. Back

1219
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:10,960
Speaker 1: to Nuremberg again, because so much of what we're seeing

1220
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,200
Speaker 1: in this movie of the past should be reminding us

1221
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 1: of why it is so critical not to forget. Those

1222
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 1: who forget their history are doomed to repeat it. And

1223
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 1: we have seen that over the last several years in

1224
01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 1: the name of leftist Marxist doctrine that pushes without question

1225
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:45,559
Speaker 1: the support of groups ultimately terrorist groups Hamas Hezbolah and

1226
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:51,679
Speaker 1: others in their so called freedom fight, which in many

1227
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:55,439
Speaker 1: ways is a fight against the existence of Israel and

1228
01:31:55,479 --> 01:32:04,840
Speaker 1: the existence of Jews. As Toto says, it's vital to

1229
01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:09,679
Speaker 1: the story in play, this message that is here while

1230
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:13,640
Speaker 1: reminding anyone cold enough to compare President Donald Trump to

1231
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:19,120
Speaker 1: Adolf Hitler fascist and we've heard plenty of that sort

1232
01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 1: of nonsense over the last several years, but over the

1233
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:30,440
Speaker 1: last year in particular, that they should be ashamed of themselves. Meanwhile,

1234
01:32:30,479 --> 01:32:34,560
Speaker 1: the US government tasked a headstrong psychiatrist. It goes into

1235
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,479
Speaker 1: the storyline and what it is all about. But how

1236
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:46,800
Speaker 1: relevant it truly is today that the real monsters of

1237
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:54,360
Speaker 1: world history, the genocidal maniacs, Adolf Hitler and his Nazis,

1238
01:32:54,479 --> 01:33:03,200
Speaker 1: Joseph Stalin and his fellow Marxist, these brutal dictators deserve

1239
01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:10,719
Speaker 1: the terms, the pejorative terms they are given. And while

1240
01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:13,800
Speaker 1: you can disagree all you want with Donald Trump's policies,

1241
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:17,240
Speaker 1: and you're protected under the First Amendment of saying that

1242
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:22,080
Speaker 1: he's a fascist, these are leftists that really need to

1243
01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 1: pick up a history book, many of them young leftist

1244
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:28,200
Speaker 1: of course, who haven't been given the benefit of reading

1245
01:33:28,280 --> 01:33:33,280
Speaker 1: actual history. They have been forced to read history through

1246
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:39,160
Speaker 1: the prism of the leftist sixteen nineteen projects and the

1247
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:44,639
Speaker 1: whole notion, the core of their teachings that the United

1248
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 1: States of America is inherently bad. It is a white

1249
01:33:51,320 --> 01:34:00,160
Speaker 1: supremacist nation that is deeply embedded in what they call

1250
01:34:00,200 --> 01:34:09,080
Speaker 1: systemic racism, a bunch of lies that are underneath the

1251
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:18,519
Speaker 1: rhetoric of calling the Conservatives fascist and Nazis and all

1252
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:25,679
Speaker 1: of that crap, because they are in the pursuit of power,

1253
01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:32,439
Speaker 1: and to get that power requires this kind of stuff.

1254
01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: But Nuremberg, as Toto reminds, should be a wake up

1255
01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 1: call for any rational human being. The word Nazi should

1256
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:55,000
Speaker 1: be reserved for the Nazis. And again, if we fail

1257
01:34:55,120 --> 01:35:00,320
Speaker 1: to remember history, real history, we are seeing what happens

1258
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 1: in real time. We are repeating those mistakes in real time.

1259
01:35:06,439 --> 01:35:09,200
Speaker 1: And it's not coming from a duly elected president of

1260
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:16,240
Speaker 1: the United States. That failure to remember history is happening

1261
01:35:16,240 --> 01:35:20,480
Speaker 1: in places like New York City with a new socialist

1262
01:35:20,479 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 1: mayors Iron Mandani. It is happening in the far left

1263
01:35:24,920 --> 01:35:32,599
Speaker 1: Democrat Party that that is where the failure is on

1264
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:36,519
Speaker 1: so many fronts. It's a great piece. You can find

1265
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:41,519
Speaker 1: it once again at Hollywood in Toto dot com. We'll

1266
01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 1: take a break on this topic, the big lies of

1267
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:49,160
Speaker 1: the left, will take a closer look at the top

1268
01:35:49,280 --> 01:35:51,479
Speaker 1: twenty five. We won't get to all of them, but

1269
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 1: we'll take a look at some of them. Straight Ah

1270
01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 1: had a new Federalist column out at the Federalist dot com,

1271
01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:01,080
Speaker 1: the top twenty five leftist lives of twenty twenty five.

1272
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:04,600
Speaker 1: Straight ahead. As we continue the Friday edition of The

1273
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:08,360
Speaker 1: Dan o'donald's Show with Matt Kittle, stay with us this

1274
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:11,080
Speaker 1: Friday edition of the Dan o'donalds Show with your old

1275
01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:15,200
Speaker 1: radio amigo, Matt Kittle. Hi, how are you? You're looking

1276
01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:20,120
Speaker 1: good in this new year weekend? Well, it's just about here.

1277
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:23,160
Speaker 1: It is here for most of us. Let's go. It's

1278
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 1: beer thirty baby. Yeah. You ever get one of those

1279
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:35,280
Speaker 1: family Christmas letters, A letter from a friend, letter from

1280
01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:38,280
Speaker 1: someone you barely know, but they really want to tell

1281
01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:40,599
Speaker 1: you all the things that are going on in their

1282
01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:47,360
Speaker 1: lives in multiple pages of a letter, particularly those that

1283
01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:57,920
Speaker 1: involve invasive medical procedures. I have, I haven't eed. I

1284
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:02,920
Speaker 1: know Christmas time has passed, but we're still getting those

1285
01:37:03,040 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 1: letters in the mail. In fact, we got one the

1286
01:37:04,560 --> 01:37:12,799
Speaker 1: other day, just deep disturbing medical information that really shouldn't

1287
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:16,440
Speaker 1: be There's a piece written by one of my favorite

1288
01:37:16,800 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 1: authors over there at the Federalist the Federalist dot com.

1289
01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:25,400
Speaker 1: The headline is this, try to avoid sending Christmas letters

1290
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:32,559
Speaker 1: about your perforated bowel. I think that is sage advice. Okay,

1291
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:37,000
Speaker 1: confession time. I don't read Christmas letters. No, I shouldn't

1292
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:40,920
Speaker 1: say that I don't read Christmas letters over one hundred words.

1293
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm like the old Twitter character limit, you know, keep

1294
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:47,679
Speaker 1: it short, two hundred and forty four characters or whatever.

1295
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:51,000
Speaker 1: It's not that I don't care, or at least on

1296
01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 1: some level, depending on who sent me the letter. I'm

1297
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 1: just not all that interested in a four page essay

1298
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:01,120
Speaker 1: on the family's adventures and misad ventures over the previous

1299
01:38:01,160 --> 01:38:07,040
Speaker 1: twelve months. I'll wait for the movie. And yes, we

1300
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:11,800
Speaker 1: have received multiple page Christmas letters, which is morably reprehensible

1301
01:38:12,439 --> 01:38:14,840
Speaker 1: and should be punished as the hate crime that it is.

1302
01:38:16,439 --> 01:38:21,719
Speaker 1: You see, the painful truth is that your family, sorry

1303
01:38:21,800 --> 01:38:25,439
Speaker 1: to say, is not as interesting as mine, and my

1304
01:38:25,560 --> 01:38:30,280
Speaker 1: family is not all that interesting to you. Selfish perhaps,

1305
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 1: but I think that's how most people view Christmas letters

1306
01:38:34,720 --> 01:38:39,559
Speaker 1: and their connections. If they're being honest. There are those

1307
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:43,520
Speaker 1: that firmly believe that there is an ironclad social contract

1308
01:38:43,520 --> 01:38:47,400
Speaker 1: that demands they read every last line of the minutia

1309
01:38:47,560 --> 01:38:51,080
Speaker 1: of someone else's life, if for no other reason than

1310
01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:55,240
Speaker 1: the pages were placed inside a bucolic winter scene fronted

1311
01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:59,439
Speaker 1: greeting card. Well, they went to all that trouble, my

1312
01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:03,439
Speaker 1: mother would say, so I have to suffer for their trouble.

1313
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:06,280
Speaker 1: It's not like they donated a kidney for God's sake.

1314
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:12,000
Speaker 1: Some of the worst and funniest family letters are the

1315
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:16,759
Speaker 1: ones that include detailed accounts of health issues over the years.

1316
01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:20,520
Speaker 1: Far too many of these updates feature the word rectum.

1317
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:25,600
Speaker 1: By the way, years ago, on WGN radio in Chicago,

1318
01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:28,880
Speaker 1: when it was worth listening to, the host of a

1319
01:39:28,920 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 1: morning show would annually read such letters sent in by listeners.

1320
01:39:33,840 --> 01:39:36,400
Speaker 1: The ladies of the Kathy and Judy Show were as

1321
01:39:36,479 --> 01:39:40,920
Speaker 1: liberal as a Bernie Sanders tupperware party, but their Merry

1322
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:44,200
Speaker 1: medical Christmas segment just before Santa Claus came to town

1323
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:51,760
Speaker 1: was appointment Radio. It truly was amazing the extremely personal

1324
01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:57,360
Speaker 1: information people compelled to share in a Christmas letter. Nothing

1325
01:39:57,400 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 1: says joy to the world like the bad news of

1326
01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:04,679
Speaker 1: a perforated bowel. Kathy and Judy would change the names

1327
01:40:04,720 --> 01:40:07,920
Speaker 1: to protect the tactless. Of course, I think the nom

1328
01:40:08,040 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 1: de plumes were always something like Vince and Ronda. And

1329
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:17,760
Speaker 1: boy did Vince and Ronda endure some breathtaking indignities. In

1330
01:40:17,840 --> 01:40:22,000
Speaker 1: one literal, woman offered family and friends excruciating details of

1331
01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:28,519
Speaker 1: the necrotizing fasciitis flesh eating disease that ruined a good

1332
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:33,880
Speaker 1: part of her year. As flesh eating diseases will I

1333
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:36,240
Speaker 1: lost thirty six pounds and had to wear a pump

1334
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:40,640
Speaker 1: hook to my stomach wound. Ronda wrote, It's beginning to

1335
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:44,439
Speaker 1: look a lot like Christmas. You can almost hear that

1336
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:49,320
Speaker 1: in the background. In another cheery update, Vince informed his

1337
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:52,000
Speaker 1: readers that it seemed that all he had done that

1338
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:56,000
Speaker 1: year was to concentrate on his prostate. Oh yes, we

1339
01:40:56,080 --> 01:41:01,000
Speaker 1: fellas we live by that little rhyme, concentrate on the prostate,

1340
01:41:01,240 --> 01:41:03,120
Speaker 1: especially as you get older and you make more and

1341
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:07,200
Speaker 1: more bathroom trips. He was happy the kids came home

1342
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:11,320
Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving, but had to keep pretty close to the bathroom.

1343
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:15,360
Speaker 1: He informed his readers, Presently, I still have a short

1344
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:18,360
Speaker 1: fuse when I get the urge to go. Number two,

1345
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 1: Vince admitted chest nuh, it's roasting on an open figh

1346
01:41:26,120 --> 01:41:31,639
Speaker 1: from severe wretching to involuntary urina, urination and hemorrhoids, lots

1347
01:41:31,680 --> 01:41:35,920
Speaker 1: of hemorrhoids. The letters featured on Merry Medical Christmas never

1348
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 1: failed to amaze in their vivid descriptions of the many

1349
01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 1: things that can go terribly wrong with the human body.

1350
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:48,479
Speaker 1: Check it out for yourself. The column includes a best

1351
01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:53,519
Speaker 1: of collection from Merry Medical Christmas years past. I do

1352
01:41:53,600 --> 01:42:00,639
Speaker 1: suggest you not listen during your dinner time invase medical

1353
01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 1: procedures and orifice bleeding. Notwithstanding, Christmas letters are a lot

1354
01:42:06,479 --> 01:42:11,040
Speaker 1: like the old vacation slide night at the neighbors. The

1355
01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 1: only people really interested in them are the ones forcing

1356
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:20,760
Speaker 1: us to view them. You can find more insight like

1357
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:24,800
Speaker 1: that at the Federalist dot com. In fact, Sean Fleetwood,

1358
01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:31,520
Speaker 1: who reports on all things Supreme Court and the Judicial

1359
01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:36,720
Speaker 1: Branch in particular, does write some lifetime style columns from

1360
01:42:36,760 --> 01:42:40,000
Speaker 1: time to time, and his latest is a do not

1361
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:44,799
Speaker 1: miss as well. The headline is something to the effect

1362
01:42:45,560 --> 01:42:52,479
Speaker 1: of Ladies, you are loading the dishwasher all wrong. Let

1363
01:42:52,479 --> 01:42:58,280
Speaker 1: a man explain it to you. I sure should go Overwell,

1364
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:04,080
Speaker 1: I do believe it proves the fact that Sean Fleetwood

1365
01:43:04,840 --> 01:43:11,960
Speaker 1: is not currently married and may never be, but he

1366
01:43:12,080 --> 01:43:14,559
Speaker 1: had no doubt about it. Well, certainly, if he is

1367
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:19,800
Speaker 1: involved romantically, he is certainly spending the holidays on a

1368
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 1: couch or a futon, which is a fate worse than death,

1369
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:28,240
Speaker 1: as we know. All right, stick around, we have more

1370
01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:33,880
Speaker 1: to accomplish before we put a bow on this first show,

1371
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:37,599
Speaker 1: this first Dan O'Donnell Show of twenty twenty six. As

1372
01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:40,479
Speaker 1: I mentioned before, coming up straight ahead, some of the

1373
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:43,599
Speaker 1: top twenty five lies of twenty twenty five, and if

1374
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: we get a chance, the worst criminal illegal immigrants of

1375
01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:53,200
Speaker 1: twenty twive twenty twenty five, according to the Department of

1376
01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:58,120
Speaker 1: Homeland Security. Perhaps we'll get a check of the dumbest

1377
01:43:58,120 --> 01:44:02,800
Speaker 1: criminals of the year as well. Perhaps the Twain shall meet.

1378
01:44:03,680 --> 01:44:06,800
Speaker 1: We'll do all of that straight ahead on the Dan

1379
01:44:06,840 --> 01:44:11,360
Speaker 1: o'donald Show with your old radiomego, Matt Kittle, stay with us.

1380
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:15,599
Speaker 1: I like it a Loah Kittle. Here you are there

1381
01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:23,200
Speaker 1: the closing minutes is that a Billy squire strokeman struck men,

1382
01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:30,000
Speaker 1: no kidding? Oh there you go. Well, EM's got a

1383
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:33,759
Speaker 1: little eighties rock and roll inside there. I don't follow

1384
01:44:33,840 --> 01:44:35,920
Speaker 1: much of the eminem music, but I do like me

1385
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: some Billy squire. Yeah, how are you here? We are

1386
01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 1: in the new year twenty twenty six, looking good so far?

1387
01:44:46,520 --> 01:44:48,920
Speaker 1: How are those New Year's resolutions going? Don't tell me,

1388
01:44:49,080 --> 01:44:53,880
Speaker 1: don't tell me, Just keep up the good work, boy.

1389
01:44:53,960 --> 01:44:58,200
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty five went by just like that. That's because

1390
01:44:58,439 --> 01:45:03,519
Speaker 1: as a political journalist, I felt on most days that

1391
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:08,559
Speaker 1: I was drinking through a fire hose. That's what you

1392
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:16,200
Speaker 1: happen when you have an energized and energetic presidency. What

1393
01:45:16,320 --> 01:45:20,519
Speaker 1: a difference of presidency makes from Donald Trump to the

1394
01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:27,360
Speaker 1: previous Joe Biden auto pen presidency. Lots of activity, lots

1395
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:34,200
Speaker 1: to keep reporters busy over the year, lots for the

1396
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:43,840
Speaker 1: left to well basically taken to explode their heads. They

1397
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:48,599
Speaker 1: went every turn, they went apoplectic in their tds on

1398
01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:54,880
Speaker 1: every Trump agenda item out there, every executive order. And

1399
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:59,240
Speaker 1: of course the corporate media, the usual suspects in the

1400
01:45:59,240 --> 01:46:06,480
Speaker 1: accomplice media, all assisting between the Democrats and the accomplished

1401
01:46:06,479 --> 01:46:11,760
Speaker 1: media to really stir up the spin in twenty twenty five.

1402
01:46:11,760 --> 01:46:14,519
Speaker 1: And I guess that's a really generous way of putting

1403
01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:21,120
Speaker 1: what felt like a big syop orchestrated by the Democrat

1404
01:46:21,160 --> 01:46:25,120
Speaker 1: Party and its accomplice media stooges in twenty twenty five.

1405
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:30,280
Speaker 1: It felt that way because it was learning nothing from

1406
01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:35,439
Speaker 1: the political and ratings beatings they took in twenty twenty four.

1407
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:39,080
Speaker 1: The left and its corporate media allies doubled down on

1408
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:42,519
Speaker 1: twisting the truth during the first year of Trump two

1409
01:46:42,600 --> 01:46:46,439
Speaker 1: point zero. The Federalist at the Federalist dot Com has

1410
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:49,880
Speaker 1: the top twenty five lies of twenty twenty five, and

1411
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:53,240
Speaker 1: as I understand it, they did have a very difficult

1412
01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:55,640
Speaker 1: time trying to whittle it down to twenty five. The

1413
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:59,960
Speaker 1: list was long and exhaustive. Let's start with its number

1414
01:47:00,120 --> 01:47:03,160
Speaker 1: eight on the list. But I think it was certainly

1415
01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:08,280
Speaker 1: a hand in hand big lie. The longest and dumbest

1416
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:14,200
Speaker 1: government shutdown in US history was more kabuki theater from Democrats.

1417
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:19,439
Speaker 1: They did what they always do in such standstills. They

1418
01:47:19,439 --> 01:47:26,519
Speaker 1: blamed Republicans, and again corporate media helped nurture the lie.

1419
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:29,960
Speaker 1: But we should know this by now. The Democrats own,

1420
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:38,639
Speaker 1: they absolutely own the shutdown of Fall twenty twenty five.

1421
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:43,080
Speaker 1: They refuse to pass a clean Continuing Resolution, which of

1422
01:47:43,080 --> 01:47:47,080
Speaker 1: course is the refuge of a modern Congress that refuses

1423
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:51,720
Speaker 1: to do its job. That CR was offered by Republicans

1424
01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:56,479
Speaker 1: to keep the government open. Instead, the Liberals held on

1425
01:47:56,720 --> 01:48:02,160
Speaker 1: to costly COVID era Obamacare subsidies that should have gone

1426
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:06,000
Speaker 1: away with the departure of I don't know the pandemic.

1427
01:48:07,360 --> 01:48:10,200
Speaker 1: They lost big and end of the year getting nothing

1428
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:16,240
Speaker 1: from their month plus temper tantrum. But hold on, breaking news.

1429
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:21,639
Speaker 1: It looks like if we've seen anything and learned anything

1430
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:24,639
Speaker 1: from history, Republicans will cave and give the Democrats ultimately

1431
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:26,920
Speaker 1: what they want because they don't want to take heat

1432
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:33,040
Speaker 1: from the people who have benefited massively from these subsidies,

1433
01:48:33,560 --> 01:48:38,040
Speaker 1: including a lot of higher earning Americans. And this was

1434
01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:42,240
Speaker 1: the story today, of course, as you expected it from

1435
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:46,799
Speaker 1: corporate media. Oh, the millions of Americans who have now

1436
01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:55,719
Speaker 1: seen a huge increase in their healthcare Yeah, they lost

1437
01:48:55,760 --> 01:49:02,000
Speaker 1: their subsidies through the failed Obamacare system and through these

1438
01:49:02,960 --> 01:49:08,960
Speaker 1: well outdated pandemic subsidies. And I would just say to

1439
01:49:09,040 --> 01:49:13,479
Speaker 1: those folks, I feel bad for you, but welcome to

1440
01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:19,080
Speaker 1: the club. Health insurance has gone up for all of us,

1441
01:49:21,400 --> 01:49:24,599
Speaker 1: and for some of US a lot more over the

1442
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:30,840
Speaker 1: last several years. We didn't qualify for the subsidies. And

1443
01:49:30,920 --> 01:49:37,799
Speaker 1: it is the product of a broken Obama care model

1444
01:49:38,200 --> 01:49:42,280
Speaker 1: that was meant to be broken. That's what caused this.

1445
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:47,559
Speaker 1: You see. If Nancy Pelosian crew would have actually looked

1446
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:51,600
Speaker 1: at the legislation before they passed it, they might realize

1447
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:56,479
Speaker 1: that when you have this artificial propping up system, it's

1448
01:49:56,520 --> 01:50:01,000
Speaker 1: eventually going to crash and burn. This from the UH.

1449
01:50:01,080 --> 01:50:04,920
Speaker 1: By the way, this from the Babylon b The headline

1450
01:50:06,240 --> 01:50:11,200
Speaker 1: Republicans vow to uncover all Somali fraud and do nothing

1451
01:50:11,240 --> 01:50:17,120
Speaker 1: about it except fundraise might be the same situation, of course,

1452
01:50:17,240 --> 01:50:23,800
Speaker 1: with these subsidies. The auto pen presidency was one of

1453
01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:27,240
Speaker 1: the big lies of twenty twenty five, not that it

1454
01:50:27,320 --> 01:50:29,679
Speaker 1: occurred in twenty twenty five, but we certainly got plenty

1455
01:50:29,720 --> 01:50:33,160
Speaker 1: of information. The lies of the Biden era came into

1456
01:50:33,240 --> 01:50:37,880
Speaker 1: sharper focus. In many ways, we got more details on

1457
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:42,880
Speaker 1: what we already knew. Joe Biden was a pino. Can

1458
01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:45,479
Speaker 1: I say that it's okay to say that Eric on

1459
01:50:45,520 --> 01:50:50,240
Speaker 1: the air a pino? What about a pino thermometer? That

1460
01:50:50,280 --> 01:50:54,360
Speaker 1: seemed to be a theme earlier in the show Okay,

1461
01:50:54,400 --> 01:50:58,559
Speaker 1: fair enough a pino that means a president in name only.

1462
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:04,040
Speaker 1: I became startlingly clear with revelations about Biden administration's well

1463
01:51:05,280 --> 01:51:08,519
Speaker 1: liberal use of the autopen. It was so bad that

1464
01:51:08,640 --> 01:51:13,040
Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee's report on the scandal deemed void

1465
01:51:13,800 --> 01:51:18,280
Speaker 1: all executive actions signed by the autopen without proper, corresponding,

1466
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:25,880
Speaker 1: contemporaneous written approval traceable to the president's own consent. That's

1467
01:51:25,920 --> 01:51:28,479
Speaker 1: been hard to find, hard to come by. And of

1468
01:51:28,520 --> 01:51:33,760
Speaker 1: course the people who were involved pulling the strings of

1469
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:40,880
Speaker 1: the autopen president, they're pleading the fifth before Congress. I

1470
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:45,120
Speaker 1: wonder why, here's one of the stupidest things that happened.

1471
01:51:45,120 --> 01:51:51,720
Speaker 1: And I don't know about necessarily a lie, but it was.

1472
01:51:52,120 --> 01:51:54,320
Speaker 1: It was one of the dumbest things that we had seen.

1473
01:51:54,840 --> 01:52:00,519
Speaker 1: The lie of it was what we were supposed to believe. Again,

1474
01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 1: it's under the category of one stupid step for womankind,

1475
01:52:07,040 --> 01:52:12,240
Speaker 1: lasting less than eleven minutes, the much heralded all female

1476
01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:18,280
Speaker 1: spaceflight on Jeff Bezos's super phallic shaped Blue Origin Rocket.

1477
01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:22,160
Speaker 1: Maybe there is a theme to the show today. It's

1478
01:52:22,200 --> 01:52:26,160
Speaker 1: becoming more clear for some reason that ride was perhaps

1479
01:52:26,240 --> 01:52:30,960
Speaker 1: the stupidest Lie of the Year. Katie Perry, Lauren Sanchez,

1480
01:52:31,040 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 1: and Oprah's bff Gail King were the featured crew on

1481
01:52:36,240 --> 01:52:42,160
Speaker 1: this overhyped Space Mountain esque ride. Perry, remember, dramatically kissed

1482
01:52:42,160 --> 01:52:46,960
Speaker 1: the ground upon touching down from the brief trip into

1483
01:52:47,479 --> 01:52:54,400
Speaker 1: space that really wasn't space but whatever, and King compared

1484
01:52:54,439 --> 01:53:00,519
Speaker 1: the voyage to pioneer astronaut Alan Shepherd's historic trek. Yes,

1485
01:53:01,240 --> 01:53:07,639
Speaker 1: it was insane, mucho insanity in one big stupid lie. Really,

1486
01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:11,920
Speaker 1: the Epstein deceit. You got a note, because when you

1487
01:53:11,960 --> 01:53:15,599
Speaker 1: think corporate media can't sink any lower, the bottom falls out.

1488
01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:20,000
Speaker 1: I've said that many times. It's truer and truer all

1489
01:53:20,120 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 1: the time. The left's desperate campaign to tie Trump to

1490
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:27,880
Speaker 1: dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has imploded at every turn, even

1491
01:53:27,880 --> 01:53:31,600
Speaker 1: as the accomplice media looked past the records showing the

1492
01:53:31,640 --> 01:53:36,559
Speaker 1: many Democrat connections. Earlier in December, several media outlets ran

1493
01:53:36,600 --> 01:53:39,479
Speaker 1: a black and white photo of a younger Trump posing

1494
01:53:39,560 --> 01:53:44,879
Speaker 1: with six young women. Ooh, scandalous. Democrats on the committee

1495
01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:50,080
Speaker 1: investigating the Epstein files distributed the photo with the faces

1496
01:53:50,120 --> 01:53:54,360
Speaker 1: of the women blacked out, fueling speculation from outlets like

1497
01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:59,840
Speaker 1: ms now that he was surrounded by Epstein's victims. Turns

1498
01:53:59,880 --> 01:54:05,240
Speaker 1: out the women were models for Hawaiian Tropic Suntan lotion,

1499
01:54:05,479 --> 01:54:08,559
Speaker 1: posing in a photo with a man one of the

1500
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:14,240
Speaker 1: models described as very gentlemanly at an event at Trump's

1501
01:54:14,280 --> 01:54:18,960
Speaker 1: home that according to the Telegraph, an unredacted version of

1502
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:22,080
Speaker 1: the photo reveals the models to be adult women. The

1503
01:54:22,120 --> 01:54:26,120
Speaker 1: New York Post reported it also reveals the Democrats to

1504
01:54:26,120 --> 01:54:31,760
Speaker 1: be absolute liars. But the biggest lie and lies of

1505
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:39,160
Speaker 1: the year really centered on immigration, illegal immigration, Trump closing

1506
01:54:39,160 --> 01:54:41,440
Speaker 1: the border as he promised to do and which he

1507
01:54:41,480 --> 01:54:47,880
Speaker 1: came through on doing. We saw lie after lie about ice.

1508
01:54:48,280 --> 01:54:53,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, they're kidnapping children. They weren't kidnapping children. Don't

1509
01:54:53,640 --> 01:54:58,920
Speaker 1: know they're arresting poor US citizens. They weren't arresting poor

1510
01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:03,760
Speaker 1: US citizens. In many of the cases where there were

1511
01:55:03,800 --> 01:55:07,720
Speaker 1: claims of arresting poor US citizens, they weren't. They weren't

1512
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:10,680
Speaker 1: US citizens at all. And when they were US citizens,

1513
01:55:10,680 --> 01:55:15,120
Speaker 1: they were US citizens committing crimes, the least of which

1514
01:55:15,200 --> 01:55:19,560
Speaker 1: were disorderly conduct and all kinds of other interference. Something

1515
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:23,520
Speaker 1: that Judge Hannah Dugan in Milwaukee County knows a little

1516
01:55:23,520 --> 01:55:27,440
Speaker 1: something about but the biggest lie of all that, and

1517
01:55:27,520 --> 01:55:31,440
Speaker 1: I believe the biggest lie of twenty twenty five the

1518
01:55:31,560 --> 01:55:37,200
Speaker 1: Maryland Man, a legal immigrant Kilgar Abrego Garcia, has allegedly

1519
01:55:37,240 --> 01:55:41,160
Speaker 1: made a career out of smuggling fellow illegal aliens. Law

1520
01:55:41,280 --> 01:55:44,720
Speaker 1: enforcement officials in twenty nineteen found him with rolls of

1521
01:55:44,760 --> 01:55:48,839
Speaker 1: cash and drugs, hanging out with members of the vicious

1522
01:55:49,040 --> 01:55:53,160
Speaker 1: MS thirteen gang. As the Department of Homeland Security detailed,

1523
01:55:53,720 --> 01:55:58,360
Speaker 1: Abrego Garcia's wife sought a protective order against him and

1524
01:55:58,440 --> 01:56:03,960
Speaker 1: said he physically abused. But when the Trump administration deported

1525
01:56:03,960 --> 01:56:09,360
Speaker 1: the criminal illegal immigrant Abrego Garcia was transformed suddenly into

1526
01:56:10,640 --> 01:56:16,240
Speaker 1: a Maryland Man by shameless liars like Maryland Senator Chris

1527
01:56:16,400 --> 01:56:21,880
Speaker 1: Van Holland, the Democrat, assisted by a shameless corporate media,

1528
01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:26,080
Speaker 1: painted a picture of a gentle migrant wrongly caught in

1529
01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:29,360
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security's cruel campaign to round up

1530
01:56:29,400 --> 01:56:35,520
Speaker 1: the undocumented and remove them from their adopted country. DHS

1531
01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:38,920
Speaker 1: rightly called out the twisted narrative for what it was,

1532
01:56:39,920 --> 01:56:44,000
Speaker 1: one of the biggest lies of twenty twenty five. DHS

1533
01:56:44,920 --> 01:56:52,960
Speaker 1: has had to debunk so much of the cropola that

1534
01:56:53,080 --> 01:56:56,280
Speaker 1: was spread by the accomplished media over the years. They

1535
01:56:56,320 --> 01:57:02,160
Speaker 1: released a press release in late December DHS highlighted some

1536
01:57:02,200 --> 01:57:06,520
Speaker 1: of the worst of the worst criminals arrested by the

1537
01:57:06,520 --> 01:57:14,760
Speaker 1: brave DHS law enforcement this year. These are murderers, rapists,

1538
01:57:15,680 --> 01:57:23,960
Speaker 1: gang members, drug traffickers, pedophiles, and terrorists. They were removed

1539
01:57:24,120 --> 01:57:30,800
Speaker 1: from American communities. If they haven't heard it, and they

1540
01:57:30,840 --> 01:57:34,920
Speaker 1: certainly haven't heard it from corporate media, let me say it.

1541
01:57:36,240 --> 01:57:43,360
Speaker 1: Thank you DHS for removing these vile people from our communities,

1542
01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:55,760
Speaker 1: making our communities safer. These are criminal, illegal immigrants. What's

1543
01:57:55,840 --> 01:57:59,000
Speaker 1: next in twenty twenty six from the left? More lies?

1544
01:58:00,320 --> 01:58:03,040
Speaker 1: Gotta go. Make it a good night until we talk again,

1545
01:58:03,120 --> 01:58:06,080
Speaker 1: kettle saying good bye, so long, God bless
