1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Happy Friday, and welcome to the Dan o'donald Show, three

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: hours of broadcast Confidence on the Way, featuring our brand

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,159
Speaker 1: new Friday segment, talk radio Roulette. Call me bring up

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: absolutely any point you want. I will have no idea

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: what you are about to say and have to respond

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: at least somewhat intelligently and hopefully entertainingly. How bizarre coming up?

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: Just today, after I perhaps overly confidently declared that we

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: would not get a better more unhinged liberal of the

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: day than the woman who claims Donald Trump gave her menopause,

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: we might actually have the unhinged liberal of the decade today.

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: I know, I know. Just yesterday I was declaring that

12
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: the menopause lady was going to be the unhinged liberal

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: of the year. Today this woman is going so megaviral.

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: She has already earned the Moniker duck hunting Karen and folks,

15
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: you will hear why when we name the unhinged liberal

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: of the day. Coming up in about forty five minutes,

17
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: a couple of big guests on the show today, DA

18
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: candidate Eric Tony joins us. In about a half hour.

19
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald coming up at four thirty five

20
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: Jam Packed show for you. Here is what we are

21
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: following this afternoon. President Trump is in Florida today and

22
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: he is again threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act to

23
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: deploy military forces in Minneapolis andid escalating protests and scattered

24
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: incidents of violence against ICE agents as ICE surges operations there.

25
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: On his way to Marine one on the White House lawn,

26
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: he was asked about the Insurrection Acts Bringer for the

27
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: Interrection a.

28
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 2: Well, the Insurrection Act, which has been used by forty

29
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 2: eight percent of the president as of this moment.

30
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: The Insurrection Act also, if you look at it, I.

31
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 2: Believe it was Bush, the Elder Bush.

32
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: He used it. I think twenty eight times.

33
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: It's been used a lot, and if I needed it,

34
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 2: I'd use it. I don't think there's any reason right

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: now to use it, but if I needed it, I'd

36
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: use it.

37
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: It's very powerful.

38
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: I do believe that the President is wrong on that

39
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: that the Insurrection Act should be invoked, because this is

40
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: just spilling out of control. The only reason that this

41
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: isn't escalating into widespread violence is because it's the middle

42
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: of January and it's too cold and snowy for most

43
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: of those fair Weather protesters. Earlier today, the President held

44
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: a symposium on rural healthcare at the White House.

45
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 4: As part of the Great, Big, Beautiful Bill where increased

46
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 4: and we have increased funding for the healthcare by an

47
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: unprecedented fifty billion dollars.

48
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: That's rural healthcare.

49
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: Nobody thought that was going to happen, and we got

50
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 4: it done. So we have rural healthcare. For those that

51
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 4: were trying to make a case that we weren't taking

52
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 4: care of the rural community, I'm all about the rural community.

53
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: We won the rural communities by numbers that nobody's ever

54
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: won them before, and we're taking care of those great people.

55
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: The President is continuing his push for Congress to quickly

56
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: pass his Great Healthcare Plan Act. More on that and

57
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: the goings on at the Trump White House in your

58
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: Daily Trump Day coming up after the four o'clock news.

59
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: In Utah, Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson in court

60
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: this afternoon. As the judge in his case. Here's a

61
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: motion to disqualify the entire Utah County District Attorney's office

62
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: because one of the prosecutor's sons was at the scene

63
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: when Kirk was killed. The motion is of course very

64
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: highly unlikely to succeed. We had a winter yesterday in

65
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,600

85
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: a huge win for free market capitalism. For the better

86
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: part of two and a half years, you have heard

87
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: me in consecutive legislative sessions railing against something known as

88
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: ROFERROFR right of first refusal. Now, as you know, as

89
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: Wisconsin has become sort of an epicenter of new data

90
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: center construction really all across southeast Wisconsin, and battle lines

91
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: are being drawn over the construction of those data centers.

92
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: You need something to power them. There is going to be,

93
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: which it's actually already started, but there is going to

94
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: be over the next five to ten years, a massive

95
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: buildout of not just the States, but the entire world's

96
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: electrical grids across the country. There have been pushes over

97
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: the past ten to fifteen years to essentially allow home

98
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: rule by a group of in state electrical transmission companies

99
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: to have the right of first refusal for all new

100
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: electrical transmission projects. This would be a terrible situation for Wisconsin.

101
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: This is why I fought so hard against this because

102
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: what it would do. As I've made the case for

103
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: two consecutive legislative sessions is to create a government backed cartel.

104
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: This isn't a monopoly, It's a cartel. A cartel is

105
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: simply a group of organizations that are ostensibly or present

106
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: themselves to the world as being independent, but nonetheless come

107
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: together to form one blob that freezes out competition, that

108
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: carves up territories. Drug cartels are that are independents which

109
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: nonetheless come together to form a cartel in order to

110
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: move drugs across the Mexican border and into the United States.

111
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: The electrical transmission cartel would be three in state companies

112
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: which were lobbying millions and millions and millions of dollars

113
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: to create their own cartel. How deep were the pockets

114
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: behind this effort. I even got lobbied, believe it or not.

115
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: They spent money on a lobbyist to lobby a talk

116
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: show host. I'd never had that happen to be before

117
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: in a quarter century of broadcasting, in a decade of

118
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: doing a political based show like this, never had it

119
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: happen before. And that tells me, man O, man Oman,

120
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: is there a lot of money at stake here? This

121
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: was defeated to consecutive sessions because people like you heard

122
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: about this and said, well, wait a second, why would

123
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: we allow an organization, a cartel, to essentially fix prices

124
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: and to have write a first refusal simply because they

125
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: happen to be located in Wisconsin already. The argument they

126
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: made was, well, we're better able to respond to the

127
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: needs of Wisconsin. We're better able to do maintenance othering.

128
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: You think a company is going to spend millions and

129
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars getting contracts that are potentially

130
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: in the billions, build new electrical transmission lines and power

131
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: substations and the like, and then just have no presence

132
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin whatsoever. That was their argument. It failed thanks

133
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: to people like you, ladies and gentlemen. You heard me

134
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: talking about this, and you called your state legislators, You

135
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: called your assemblyman, you called your state Senate, so many

136
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: of them that they basically had no choice but to

137
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: abandon the bill because they knew there was no chance

138
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: it was ever going to pass. I can tell you

139
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: today Roefer is officially permanently dead in Wisconsin. The power

140
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 1: conglomerate that runs the Upper Midwest, it's known as MSO.

141
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: It just announced the winners of two regional transmission projects

142
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: that are being built in Wisconsin, neither one was awarded

143
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: to a Wisconsin based company. Now, it's true, we may

144
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: get Roefer proposals in the future, but once you hear

145
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: some of the research. Are great friends at the MacIvor Institute,

146
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: which was also instrumental in getting this horrid legislation feed.

147
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: Once you hear some of the numbers that they put

148
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: together on the winning bids for these electrical transmission projects,

149
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: you will understand that there is no chance Rofer is

150
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: ever going to come back. The bigger of the two

151
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: projects was the Belt Center Columbia Sugar Creek Project or

152
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: BEECI project, that connects Illinois and Wisconsin. Five bidders. Highest

153
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: bid came in at one point three six billion dollars.

154
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: I told you this is big money. This is why

155
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: there was so much money invested in lobbying so many

156
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: members of the legislator and in fact the talk show

157
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: host to try to get this past one point three

158
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: to six billion. But the lowest came in at eight

159
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: hundred eight million. The winning bid was the second lowest

160
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: one billion, almost exactly. The winner of the project, an

161
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: out of state company called Transsource offered a bid, according

162
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:15,359
Speaker 1: to the MacIvor Institute, that was lower than Miso Miso's

163
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: estimate and twenty four percent lower than the highest bid.

164
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: What this means is that an out of state company

165
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: was able to dramatically underbid what would have otherwise just

166
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 1: naturally gone to one of the three in state electrical

167
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: transmission companies that would have decided amongst themselves before submitting bids,

168
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: which one was going to actually get the project. Now

169
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: do you think they would have offered eight hundred and

170
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: eight million. Do you think they would have offered one billion,

171
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: almost exactly, or would they have offered something well north

172
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: of the highest bid one point three six billion. Wisconsin

173
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: just saved three hundred and sixty three million dollars just

174
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: on this one project. You see what free market competition

175
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: can do. And it wasn't as though the MISO just

176
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: took the lowest bid. They determined that trans Source actually

177
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: had the best bid. Second project, Wisconsin's Southeast Project, or

178
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:32,479
Speaker 1: wise smaller of the two. The winning bid was awarded

179
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: to Veridon or Viridon selected for the project offered both

180
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: the lowest capital cost and lowest revenue requirement. The estimated

181
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 1: cost for the project that the power provider Miso had

182
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: was six hundred and sixty two million dollars. Do you

183
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: know what Veridon or Viridon proposed to construct the line for?

184
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 1: This was the winning bid three hundred and forty nine

185
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: million dollars, forty seven percent below what the energy giant

186
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: estimated that the project would cost. They also proposed a

187
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: revenue requirement, meaning what they would be allowed to take

188
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: home in revenue of only two hundred and fifty six

189
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: million dollars, forty one percent below the highest bidder. What

190
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: this means is, yet again, on two different projects, two

191
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: different out of state bidders significantly underbid what would have

192
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: been the bids that Wisconsinites and everybody who pays for

193
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: electrical rates would be forced to pay. This is how

194
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: free market competition works. And this thanks to the Maciv

195
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: Institute once again for doing the great research on the

196
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: numbers with those bids, and at Olson over at MacIver

197
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: does a fantastic job. Also personal disclosure, I do videos

198
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: and columns for the MacIver Institute. I have not written

199
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: a column in quite some time, just I've been busy

200
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: with other stuff. But just so you know, I use

201
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: their research very very often because it's a it's a

202
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: fantastic organization. I'm proud to do work with them. Is

203
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: there anyone, now, anybody in the state legislature who can

204
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: honestly say, look me in the eyes and who can say, yeah, well,

205
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: I think if right a first refusal passes will absolutely

206
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: get lower prices. Well, now you have got the proof

207
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: in the pudding. We saved hundreds of millions of dollars.

208
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: We basically got a fifty percent off discount. And oh,

209
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: by the way, electrical rates have I don't know if

210
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: you've noticed, gone straight up in the era of Biden.

211
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: Thankfully they're going to start going down with President Trump

212
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: actually restoring sanity to America's financeial system and economic markets.

213
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: But he's going to be able to do so based

214
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: on free market principles, the same sort of free market

215
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: principles that we're at play here. Is there anyone in

216
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: the state legislature I would love Now, we knew every

217
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: Democrat was going to be on board this because they

218
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: were taking that suite suite electrical transmission company campaign cash,

219
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: and every single Democrat was going to be voting in

220
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: supportive right of first refusal. But is there a single republican,

221
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: single Republican who can look at these bids, look at

222
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:43,119
Speaker 1: the actual practice of free market competition in electrical transmission projects,

223
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: see how it works in Wisconsin, and then come back

224
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: and say, yes, I do believe we need to get

225
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: right of first refusal, so only three companies can bid,

226
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: and those three companies would of course decide for themselves

227
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: which one is actually going to get the bid. I

228
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: wanted to start here because it is a great reminder

229
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen that when you are motivated, when you

230
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: are activated, when there's something that you care about, you

231
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: actually do have the power to change state legislation. You

232
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: certainly have the power in your local communities. And I

233
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: hope this serves as a reminder that when you are

234
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: polite but firm you actually try to get your state

235
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: legislature on the phone, don't just send an email because

236
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: those are easily ignored and they can be responded to

237
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: with a very quick form email back. When you register

238
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: your displeasure with something that your legislator is doing, there

239
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: is a very good chance that you are going to

240
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: be able to see change. You are going to be

241
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: able to effectuate change. That's exactly what happened here, and

242
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: that's why I am just I am so proud that

243
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: this is the way the democratic process absolutely worked. And no,

244
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: this isn't me just patting myself on the back. All

245
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: I do is talk about this stuff. All I do

246
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: is bring this to your attention. You're the ones who

247
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: have to do the heavy lifting. I'm not going behind

248
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: the scenes and like you know, trying to lobby Robin

249
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: Voss or Tyler August or Devin Lemahew over in the

250
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: State Senate. I'm just presenting the information to you. What

251
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: you do with that is the difference between bad legislation

252
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: passing and bad legislation being defeated. And today I think

253
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: we can say officially the bad legislation of write a

254
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: first Refusal or Roefer has been defeated. So I say

255
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: to all of you who had hand in that, congratulations.

256
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnells show coming right back, coming up in about

257
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: seven or eight minutes or so, We're going to talk

258
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: to conservative district attorney and Attorney General candidate great friend

259
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: at the show, Eric Tony, to talk about a truly

260
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: impressive fundraising hall in his second bid to unseat Josh Cole.

261
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: The incumbent Democrat District Attorney Attorney General excuse me, who

262
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: is running for a third term. He was scared out

263
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: of the governor's race by the strength of Mandeadbeat Barnes,

264
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: who's frankly fundraising totals were at tat disappointing little underwhelming

265
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: for old Man Deadbeat, who raised about as much as

266
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: Joel Brennan did in the first month or so of

267
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: their respective campaigns. Suffice it to say there is no

268
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: widespread enthusiasm for Mandeadbeat. The Democrat raised the most amount

269
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: of money in this current fundraising period, which ended on

270
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: January fifteenth. That's when reporting was due with the state

271
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: for how much money you made you that sort of thing.

272
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: David Crowley, who raised about eight hundred thousand dollars. He

273
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: got in the race at about the same time that

274
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: Tom Tiffany did. The Wisconsin Congressman raised two million dollars

275
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: compared with about one million for his opponent, Josh Showman. Now,

276
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: Showman has been in the race since April, and he

277
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: just announced the launch of a superpack, or rather, his

278
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: former communications director Ben Vocal announced a super pack which

279
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: is going to have a good amount of money. I

280
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: think it's something like seven eight hundred thousand dollars behind

281
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: it to get Showman elected. But folks, I just I

282
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: cannot shake the feeling that this I don't want to

283
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 1: call it a fool's errand by Showman, I'd like Josh

284
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: a great deal. I think he's a fantastic county executive

285
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: in Washington County, and I think he is absolutely a

286
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: leader in this state, both future and present. Just really

287
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: seems like everything is lining up behind Tom Tiffany over

288
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: on the Democrat side. Who knows, none of them seem

289
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: to be able to raise a whole lot of money.

290
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: But don't let that fool you, because the liberal in

291
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, Chrissy Taylor, has raised two

292
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: point six million dollars. Here's the thing. She raised ten

293
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: times the amount of her conservative opponent, Maria Lazar. She

294
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: also reported having thousands and thousands of thousands of small

295
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: dollar donors. Usually campaigns will sort of gloat about that,

296
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: Look at how broad based my support is, Look at

297
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: how I'm energizing the grassroots. I didn't want to believe

298
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: that this is true when it crossed my desk yesterday.

299
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: Guess how many small dollar donors Maria Lazar has, or

300
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: at least that she reported. Just take a guess, five hundred,

301
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: seven hundred, what do you think, producer Eric, what do

302
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: you think? How many one hundred nineteen? Not nineteen hundred,

303
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: certainly not nineteen thy nineteen small dollar donors? What are

304
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 1: we even doing here now? I said all week. Campaign

305
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: finance numbers are not the end all and be all.

306
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: They certainly aren't, but they do give a pretty decent

307
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: indicator of where the buzz is for a campaign. There

308
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: is no buzz for the Lazar campaign. And I say

309
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: this again, I please don't think that this is some

310
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: sort of personal vendetta against Marie Azzar. I love Marie Lazar.

311
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: I was a huge supporter of her Court of Appeals campaign.

312
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: I think she's been a fantastic judge everywhere. Had this campaign.

313
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: Whoever is running her campaign, it is clearly not working.

314
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: It is just it is. The money isn't there, the

315
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: buzz isn't there, the online presence isn't there. She's getting dramatically,

316
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: I think, outworked and out fundraised by a left wing hack.

317
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: And already she is on the defensive her policy position

318
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: on abortion. She's going to enforce the law as it's written,

319
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: six week heartbeat bill. Fine, that's all well and good.

320
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: She's still getting killed on this article in the Journal Sentinel.

321
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: And yes, that's not the end all and be all

322
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: of public sentiment in this state. But the whole idea

323
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 1: is that the abortion issue is settled. Why are we

324
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: dragging up the abortion issue, the single worst issue for

325
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: conservatives for the past three four years. Now we're going

326
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: on four years since Roe v. Wade was overturned. Why

327
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: even bring this up? I just I have some very

328
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: serious and harsh questions about how these campaign is being run.

329
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: There's no doubt in my mind Marie Azar would be

330
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: an excellent Supreme Court justice. She's an excellent jurist and

331
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 1: would be on the state's highest court. Unfortunately, you have

332
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: to win the election before you get to serve, so

333
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: don't take too much away from the governor's race fundraising

334
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: just yet. It's a lot of the left wing donors

335
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: in this state. Who am I kidding? All of the

336
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: left wing donors are outside of this state of Wisconsin.

337
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: Democrats have very successfully nationalized every race, especially state Supreme

338
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: court races, so they're of course going to get the

339
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: annual million to two million dollars in donations from JB. Pritzger,

340
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: from George so from the LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, a

341
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: radical left winger. All that money is going to come in.

342
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: Taylor herself has already raised two million bucks, so the

343
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: money is still going to come in later on in

344
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: the year for whomever it is that the Democrats decide

345
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: is going to be their candidate. They don't actually have

346
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: primaries anymore. In the smoky back room, the Democrat bosses

347
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: typically will decide who it is that the rank and

348
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: file is being forced to vote for. My guess is

349
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: that it's not going to be man deadbeat. If I

350
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: had to guess right now, I've been saying this for

351
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: months now, it's very likely to be David Crowley. When

352
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: we come back, we will talk with Eric Tony about

353
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: his very impressive fundraising haul, the state of the attorney

354
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: general race, and much more. You're listening to the Dan

355
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: o'donald's show. Anybody in Wisconsin politics who has had a

356
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: better week than Conservative Attorney general candidate Eric Tony. Not

357
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: only does he announce earlier in the week that he's

358
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: now got more than half of the sheriffs in this

359
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: state endorsing him bipartisan group of sheriffs. By the way,

360
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: he has set a record for a first fundraising reporting

361
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: period for a non incumbent attorney general candidate. He is

362
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: dramatically outraising his liberal opponent, the incumbent Josh Cole, who

363
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: is about four hundred thousand dollars behind where he was

364
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 1: in terms of money raised at this point in his

365
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two reelection campaign. Joining us now on the

366
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: phone is in fact Eric Tony. Eric, congratulations on what

367
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: is undoubtedly a fantastic week.

368
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 5: Bought Dan. Great to be with you and thank you.

369
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 5: We had a really good end to the year in

370
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 5: a great start to this week. But we know we've

371
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 5: got a long road to go to get to November.

372
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: So what do you attribute to this AID surge in

373
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: fundraising too, and why do you suppose that the donors

374
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: just do not seem to be excited about Josh call.

375
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 5: You know, we've seen a lot of energy and momentum

376
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 5: in the calls and the events as we talk about

377
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 5: the broken promises from the Attorney General, from the forensic testing,

378
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 5: the federal lawsuits, the failure to look at the opioid

379
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 5: and fentanol issues at the border, that people are just

380
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 5: getting sick and tired of an attorney general that's putting

381
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 5: politics over public safety. And it's such a simple phrase

382
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 5: to say, but unfortunately it's the reality and that's really

383
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 5: connected with people when we talk about what we can

384
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 5: do with the Department of Justice in a lot of

385
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 5: these phone calls. And so I'm really excited about the

386
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 5: energy and the record fundraising that we had and just

387
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 5: very thankful to all of the supporters that we have

388
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 5: across the state that have been looking to have a

389
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 5: you know, somebody who's going to put public safety over politics.

390
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 5: But we can't slow down. We have to keep this

391
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 5: momentum going because we know we're going to see the

392
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 5: ill anoly in California billionaires that look to bail them

393
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 5: out and make sure that they have the money to compete,

394
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 5: and so we need to keep our foot on the gas.

395
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 5: And people can go to Erictoni dot com and learn

396
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 5: more about me, donate there as well, and help make

397
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 5: sure that we're going to continue to be financially competitive,

398
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 5: because as I said, we've got a long road to November.

399
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: And obviously, the endorsement of all of those sheriffs is

400
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: a big deal as well. It sort of shows that

401
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: because of your run, because of your work as a

402
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: district attorney, and because of your run in twenty twenty two,

403
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: people know who you are. The law enforcement community, I

404
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 1: think is tired of calls antics, as you said, putting

405
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: politics in front of public safety and public policy, and

406
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: it seems as though they are very squarely behind you.

407
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 5: Well, I'm really excited to have the support from so

408
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 5: many of our sheriffs that are from all corners of

409
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 5: the state, and as you mentioned, it's bipartisan support that

410
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 5: they've just been tired of seeing the Attorney General with

411
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 5: the failed forensic testing that we're seeing, where he's got

412
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 5: more resources in some of these areas, he's taking in

413
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 5: some spots on average almost twice as long to test,

414
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 5: and he's got better technology in some areas, and there's

415
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 5: not an excuse for that, especially as we see some

416
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 5: of the crime issues that were seeing. The Milwaukee Police

417
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 5: Association has endorsed me as well, and so we need

418
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 5: to make sure that protecting Wisconsin families is actually the

419
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 5: top priority and not just the talking point.

420
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: And what's so nauseating about those crime lab failures is

421
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 1: that this was his main talking point when he first

422
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: won election in twenty eighteen. I mean, he was blasting

423
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: then Attorney General Brad Schimmel overstate crime lab failures, over

424
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: rape kits especially. He's doing a much worse job. I mean,

425
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: it just it never ceases to amaze me how bad

426
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: Democrats are at the actual business of governance.

427
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 5: Well, and there are you know, I work with so

428
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 5: many of those crime lab employees and analysts with the

429
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 5: trials and cases that we have in They're amazing people

430
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 5: that do a great job. It's the failed leadership from

431
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 5: our attorney general that's creating these issues. And you mentioned

432
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 5: the rape kits, and you know, we saw there was

433
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 5: about four or five thousand of those kits that were tested,

434
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 5: and anytime we get a conviction and a sexual fault case,

435
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 5: that's so important for a survivor. And there was a

436
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 5: website that would track all of these cases that would

437
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 5: be filed, and they stopped updating that website in twenty

438
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 5: twenty one, and so it's hard to know how many

439
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 5: convictions there actually are, but it's probably less than twenty

440
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 5: from those four or five thousand cases. They are kits

441
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 5: that were tested and we're seeing these slowdowns in some

442
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 5: of these other key areas of forensic testing where you know,

443
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 5: i'll give you an analogy on DAN. Imagine you or

444
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 5: any of your listeners. You own a business and at

445
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 5: your business, there's an assembly line, and you fire somebody

446
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 5: because you say you're not assembling things fast enough, and

447
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,239
Speaker 5: so you hire the new person who says they're going

448
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 5: to do a better job. And then after a year,

449
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 5: you say, okay, I'm going to give you some more employees.

450
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 5: I'm going to give you some better technology, and by

451
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 5: the way, you're only going to have to assemble about

452
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 5: twenty five percent compared to what you were doing before.

453
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 5: And that employee says you're going to see a dramatic

454
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 5: improvement in two years. And so then you come back

455
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 5: six years later to look at the numbers, and when

456
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 5: you do, you're kicking yourself because you said, I should

457
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 5: have looked at this sooner, because you see this employee

458
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 5: that you hired and gave the more resources on average,

459
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 5: but are now taking over twice as long to test

460
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 5: less items. And you see they didn't even hire some

461
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 5: of the people that you gave them to help. And

462
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 5: you'd probably fire the person on the spot right.

463
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, I'd fire everybody involved.

464
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 5: Well, that's our attorney general right now. On DNA testing,

465
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 5: he bragged about getting the additional resources in twenty twenty

466
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 5: when he released a crime lab report and bragged about

467
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 5: the better technology that they had and the less testing

468
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 5: because of the policies that he put in place, and

469
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 5: said it would dramatically improve the testing turnaround time in

470
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 5: two years. And it hasn't happened. It's actually taking on

471
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 5: average over twice as long. And I can't stress enough

472
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 5: it's not the analyst. There's great analysts at the lab,

473
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 5: but they need leadership that's actually going to make it

474
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 5: a priority and not have vacant DNA analyst positions, because

475
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 5: that's one of the problems. When the legislature released their

476
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 5: audit of the crime labs in the summer of twenty

477
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 5: twenty four, there were seven DNA positions that appeared to

478
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 5: be vacant when you compared what was filled and then

479
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 5: what was to what was sold in twenty twenty three

480
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 5: to what was sold in twenty twenty. That's so we

481
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 5: need to make sure it's a priority of filling those positions.

482
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it is. Eric Tony he is the only choice

483
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: for Attorney General, record fundraising hall endorsement of more than

484
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: half of Wisconsin Sheriff Erictoni dot com the website, sir,

485
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: congratulations on a great week. I am sure we will

486
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: be talking to you again soon.

487
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 5: Thanks so much, Dan.

488
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: The pleasure is as always all mine, my friend. All right,

489
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: coming up next, I know I said yesterday's unhinged Liberal

490
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: of the day might be the unhinged Liberal of the year.

491
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: She has got some very stiff competition from a woman

492
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: who is all already megaviral, the duck Hunting Karen unhinged lib. Next, folks,

493
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: I know I said yesterday that the woman who claimed

494
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: that President Trump gave her menopause could possibly not be

495
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: topped this entire year. That that that yesterday's unhinged Liberal

496
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: of the day, the competition for unhinged Liberal of the

497
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,719
Speaker 1: year might be over. It took a grand total of

498
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: one day for me to potentially be disproven. Ladies and gentlemen,

499
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: it is timed out to name the unhinged Liberal of

500
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: the day is dangerous because he's evil.

501
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 6: America.

502
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: She is known simply as duck hunting Karen. In Washington State,

503
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: a group of duck hunters hunting on public land filmed

504
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: a woman who well, did this.

505
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 7: First, I think it's a leg.

506
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 8: You're you're not go away.

507
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: She eventually goes right up to the hunters, and it

508
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: only gets funnier from there.

509
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 7: Don't you're around here?

510
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: I want to walking around here.

511
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 7: Exactly my point.

512
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 8: Don't anything a large off.

513
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: They're already dead.

514
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 6: I don't care they're already dead.

515
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 8: I like sing. You see.

516
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: She calls them bleepofs after repeatedly telling them to bleep off.

517
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: Then one of the hunters just uncorks one of the

518
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: funniest things I've heard in weeks.

519
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 7: No birds identified as DEMI right.

520
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: She then throws their decoys away while storming off. Now, folks,

521
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: obviously duck hunting Karen is your unhinged liberal of the day.

522
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: But I thought, you know what, we here believe in democracy.

523
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: Democracy will not die in darkness. I think the people

524
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: should decide, because yesterday, I said, the woman who took

525
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: to TikTok to say that Trump prompted her body to

526
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 1: go through metapause was the unhinged liberal of the year

527
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: so far. Let's take a list of today we are

528
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: going to vote. Is it duck hunting Karen or menopause. Lady,

529
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: you just heard duck hunting Karen. Here is menopause?

530
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 9: Like, this whole higher administration is so fucked. I'll tell

531
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 9: you it's so funed. It actually put my body into menopause.

532
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 9: I am so thoroughly repulsed by fucking Donald Trump and

533
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 9: all of his cronies, and they literally threw my body

534
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 9: into menopause. It's like in Twilight when the vampires come

535
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 9: around and more wolves start turning. They are literally turning

536
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 9: American women into women going through menopause because we are

537
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 9: so fucking repulsed by you in cells. Fuck you, Fuck

538
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 9: Donald Trump, Fuck everyone who follows him. You all are disgusting.

539
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: Pigs, all right, I mean the Twilight reference, just you know,

540
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: chef's kiss. The only thing that could have made that

541
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: better is if she referenced Harry Potter, which appears to

542
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: be the only thing that liberal women are able to

543
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: analogize anything to To me, that was a work of art.

544
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: But I mean duck hunting Karen. First, she's walking sounding.

545
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: She sounds like she sounds like the most shrill alarm

546
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 1: clock you've ever heard, coming towards them.

547
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 8: Away.

548
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: She does sound like some sort of bird. The one

549
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: guy filming at the very beginning. What type of bird

550
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 1: is that? Blapof, blapof? I'm telling you that is very good.

551
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: I genuinely don't know which one is funnier, which one

552
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: is more unhinged. That's why we need you, ladies and gentlemen.

553
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: Is it menopause lady? Is it Trump gave me menopause lady?

554
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: Or is it duck hunting Karen. We are only sixteen

555
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 1: days into twenty twenty six, but so far those are

556
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: the two unhinged liberals to beat for Unhinged Liberal of

557
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: the Year. And you know, Eric, I'm sensing a new

558
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: recurring daily bit. We have a champion for unhinged Liberal

559
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: of the Year, and whenever we have one that's just incredible,

560
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: we put it to the people and see if they

561
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: can knock off our reigning chap. So very first unhinged

562
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: Liberal showdown. Text us your vote. We are only taking

563
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: text votes four one, four, seven, nine, nine eleven thirty

564
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: or one eight hundred and eight three eight, nine, four

565
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: seven six Who is more unhinged? Who is funnier? Duck

566
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: hunting Karen or unhinged menopause lady? We are going to

567
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: keep the voting open throughout the four o'clock hour. Stay tuned.

568
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: Dan O'donnald's show is coming right back, folks. This is

569
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: this is shaping up to be like a Venezuelan election.

570
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you it is right now, Producer Eric, it

571
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: is a landslide for the duck hunting Karen. Before the

572
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: top of the hour, we I think unwittingly unveiled a

573
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: new feature here on the Dan o'donald Show. And Producer Eric,

574
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: you are going to have to h keep track of this, Okay,

575
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to keep track of it as well.

576
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: We are going to have an unhinged Liberal of the

577
00:38:55,360 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: Year just ongoing contest, right and it's sort of like

578
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: the old WWF. If you want to be the man,

579
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: you gotta beat the man. What was that, Rick Flair?

580
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: So every every time, it's not gonna be every day

581
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: because it is very rare that you get two people

582
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: who just embody the spirit of unhinged liberalism like Trump

583
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: gave me menopause lady and duck Hunting Karen. So what

584
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: we're doing is throughout the four o'clock hour you are

585
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: going to vote and frankly barring some sort of miracle comeback,

586
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: one of these two unhinged libs is so far ahead

587
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: by the way I have both of them posted. The

588
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: videos are even funnier, especially the duck hunting Karen. And

589
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: as a number of people have pointed out, I did

590
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: cut off at the end, one of the hunters actually

591
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: does right in front of her as she's storming off.

592
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: He picks up his rifle and shoots one of the

593
00:39:55,400 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: ducks on camera. You know, I don't know. I I'm

594
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 1: not a duck hunting Karen, but I just thought, ah,

595
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't want to have anybody or

596
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: anything dying on the radio. It's just besides, all of

597
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: the humor is wrapped up in.

598
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 5: This first.

599
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 7: I think it's a legendary.

600
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: Away, all right. So that's duck hunting Karen, and it

601
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: is up at Dan o'donald's show on ex Facebook dot

602
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: com slash Dan o'donalds show. So too is Trump gave

603
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: me menopause?

604
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 10: Lady.

605
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 9: This whole entire administration is so fucked. I'll tell you

606
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 9: it's so funed. It actually put my body into menopause.

607
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 9: I am so thoroughly repulsed by fuck Donald Trump and

608
00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 9: all of his cronies, and they literally threw my body

609
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 9: into menopause.

610
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: All right, the decision is yours, ladies and gentlemen. Is

611
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: it going to be duck hunting Karen or Trump gave

612
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: me menopause lady. This is our inaugural battle for Unhinged

Speaker 1: Liberal of the year. Shoot us a text. Wait, we're

614
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: not taking any calls. I'm not taking emails or anything

615
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,759

Speaker 1: should I should I say? Which one is way ahead?

618
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: Which one do you think is way ahead? Producer Eric,

619
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,000

620
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: duck lady is so far ahead, I don't think there's

621
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: any chance. And frankly, frankly, Trump gave me menopause lady,

622
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: in any other year, I mean, what what are the odds?

623
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: This is sort of like what are the odds? This

624
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: is like Wally Pip Right, Wally Pip took one day

625
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: off and then lou gerrig took his and set a

626
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: record for all time consecutive games played. I mean, the

Speaker 1: day after the day after Trump gave me menopause in

628
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: any other year. I think she'd be a shoe in

Speaker 3: We're gonna win more.

644
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: President Trump down in Florida going to spend the weekend

645
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: at the Winter White House, mar A Lago. He made

646
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: a brief address this afternoon and before he got on

647
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: Air Force one on the south lawn of the White House.

648
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: While walking towards his helicopter Marine one, he answered some

649
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: questions from reporters, including one about the situation in Venezuela.

650
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: Why the Trump administration is backing Delsi Rodriguez and not

651
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: Maria Machado, the opposition leader who met with President Trump yesterday.

652
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 8: I amid Delkrodriget in the records of the Maduro regime

653
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 8: and not.

654
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 3: With Pachada plastic support of the Venezuela.

655
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 2: He called, if you ever remember a place called Iraq

656
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 2: where everybody was fired, every single person, the police, the generals,

657
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: everybody was fired and they ended up being Isis instead

658
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 2: of just getting down to business, they ended up being Isis.

659
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 3: So I remember that.

660
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you I had a great meeting yesterday

661
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 2: by a person who I have a lot of respect for,

662
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 2: and she has respect obviously for me in our country,

663
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 2: and she gave me her Nobel prize.

664
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what I get to know.

665
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 2: I never met her before, and I was very, very impressed.

666
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 3: She's a really this is a fine woman.

667
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: But as President Trump intimated, she does not have the

668
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: support of the Venezuelan military, something we talked about yesterday.

669
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: The thinking is that what the Trump administration is doing

670
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: is backing Rodriguez. So we have a pro American and folks,

671
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: she is very much an avowed communist, But if she

672
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: wants to stay in power and not see the inside

673
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: of a jail cell, she is going to dance to

674
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 1: the American's fiddle until such a time as there can

675
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: actually be democratic elections, at which point Maria Machado is

676
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: almost certainly to get herself elected. Trump was also asked

677
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: about getting her Nobel Prize.

678
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 5: Yesterday, you accepted Maria Machado's No Prize medal.

679
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 7: What do you intend to do with it?

680
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 5: And why would you want someone else's Nobel prize?

681
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 3: What she offered it to me? I thought it was

682
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:07,439
Speaker 3: very nice.

683
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 2: She said, you know, you've ended eight wars and nobody

684
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 2: deserves this prize war than in history than you do.

685
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 2: And I thought it was a very nice gesture. And

686
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 2: by the way, I think she's a very fine woman.

687
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 3: And we'll be talking again.

688
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: All right. So did she give him the Nobel Peace

689
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: Prize in exchange for a promise that she'd get to

690
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: be president of Venezuela.

691
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 10: This is.

692
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: A little It was a sweet moment. It was a

693
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: sweet moment. I'll say that. She's apparently going on Fox

694
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:42,880
Speaker 1: and Friends Weekend with Rachel Campos. Duffy got the interview

695
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: with Maria Machados, so definitely gonna want to watch that.

696
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: President Trump earlier in the day held a rural healthcare symposium,

697
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: at which he unveiled a plan for rural healthcare. Doctor

698
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: Oz made the announcement.

699
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 11: Real Health Transformation Bomb is the large, urgest investment ever

700
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 11: in American history in our rural communities. Fifty increase the

701
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 11: amount of money that Medicaid, which Secretary Candidate and I

702
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 11: regulate into our rural communities fifty billion dollars. You can

703
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 11: do the math. That's one billion per state. And that's

704
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 11: an important factor because it got them competing.

705
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: Also at the White House today, First Lady Milania Trump

706
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: held a symposium for young people for supporting the use

707
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: of AI.

708
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 12: Today, I urge you to take action. Use AI to

709
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 12: unlock new parts of your imagination. Lead with your ideas,

710
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 12: stay sharp, but remember never surrender your thinking to AI.

711
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 1: Excellent advice for all of us America's First Lady that

712
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen is your daily Trump date. We are getting,

713
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: my goodness, an average of like three or four votes

714
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: a minute.

715
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 11: Here.

716
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: They are coming in very very quickly and duck hunting.

717
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: Karen continues to hold a big lead over Trump gave

718
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: me menopause lady. In our inaugural voting for Unhinged Liberal

719
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: of the Year. Here's how we're going to do it.

720
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: The winner today will be our champion. Whenever we feel

721
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: like we have a worthy contender, we're going to put

722
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: it to you, and at the end of the year

723
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: we will have the It's like Highlander, there can be

724
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: only one Unhinged Liberal of the Year. And yes, we

725
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: are going to bring a whole lot of these back

726
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 1: so we can laugh at the year in Unhinged Liberalism

727
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: if we have enough. Hell, I'll even do one of

728
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: those year end specialty programs, you know how we get,

729
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: like Jerry Bott and Dave Michaels on WISN. They'll come

730
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: in and like do the year in review show Fox

731
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 1: always does Year in Review. What if I did a

732
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: one hour long year in Unhinged Liberalism? That would actually

733
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: be frankly hilarious. Heaven knows. I probably don't have time

734
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 1: in a very busy month of December, but we will

735
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: absolutely keep tabs on who are unhinged Liberal of the year.

736
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: Is that that'll probably be one of our last shows

737
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: of the year. We'll just devote a couple of minutes

738
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: to naming who it is that's our unhinged liberal of

739
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: the year. Yes, Eric, Yes, Eric says, forget about an hour.

740
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: That could be an all day show with just how

741
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: crazy liberals have gotten. Truly, truly. I started this as

742
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: a bit And folks, have you been paying attention to

743
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: the latest TikTok trend? You have you been paying attention

744
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: to this that that twenty sixteen was the last good year,

745
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: that everything was better in twenty six You know that,

746
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: you know why that is?

747
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 13: Right?

748
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: The last year before Trump I think Trump was running

749
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: for president. There's nobody who actually thought in twenty sixteen

750
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: that he was going to win. And this woman on

751
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: TikTok who said that, okay, it was you know, she's

752
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: she's got a theory here, and that is you're not

753
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: going to like this if you're a Packer fan. The

754
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: thing that set us off on the wrong timeline, right,

755
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: like the idea that there are multiple universes, we're in

756
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 1: a multiverse, and we're not on the correct timeline. The

757
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: thing that set us off was just two weeks before

758
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: Trump was elected, the Chicago Cubs won the World Series

759
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: for the first time since nineteenh eight. It took him

760
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: one hundred and eight years. The Billy Goat curse was

761
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,439
Speaker 1: lifted two weeks later. Nobody thought that Donald Trump would

762
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: ever be elected president. It's still considered, and I think

763
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 1: for a long time, will be considered the greatest upset.

764
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Dewey defeats Truman has nothing on Donald Trump,

765
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 1: who has given a grand total of a one chance

766
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: of winning. On the morning of the twenty sixteen election,

767
00:50:04,719 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: that that happened, and she says, the only thing that

768
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: will get us on the right timeline again is if

769
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears make it improbable run to the Super

770
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: Bowl and win the championship this year. Yuck. No, I'm

771
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,320
Speaker 1: taking a wild guess that that is not actually happened.

772
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: But all of these libs are so, oh my gosh,

773
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: stuff was so much better, and they're posting pictures of

774
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 1: themselves in twenty sixteen and just saying how much better

775
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: life was ten years ago. And I'm telling you, folks,

776
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: a big reason for that is because Donald Trump wasn't

777
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: dominating their psychees like he has been for a decade now.

778
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: I mean, think about this for a second. Trump came

779
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: down the escalator in June of twenty fifteen, he almost

780
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 1: immediately shoots to the top of the Republican presidential primary.

781
00:50:55,360 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: Democrats and their allies in the national news media him

782
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: on television constantly. His rallies were aired in their entirety

783
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,959
Speaker 1: on CNN and MSNBC. No other candidate got that level

784
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: of airtime. He was calling into the Morning Joe Show

785
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: pretty regularly. Why do you suppose that was He even

786
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: hosted Saturday Night Live in November I believe of twenty

787
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: fifteen he hosted Saturday Night Live. Why Because they thought

788
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: there was no chance Trump was ever going to win

789
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 1: a general election. They wanted to promote him a He

790
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,720
Speaker 1: was insanely entertaining back then as he is right now,

791
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: and they thought eventually he would do something, he would

792
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: say something, and they just nuke him out of orbit

793
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: with something in his past or some misstep or misstatement.

794
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 1: Once he won the presidential primary, once he was safely

795
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: the Republican nominee, that they just take him out. I mean,

796
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: Trump got something like a billion dollars in what's known

797
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:09,439
Speaker 1: as earned media, like for example, Eric Tony. Eric Tony

798
00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: came on the Dan O'Donnells show. We had him on

799
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: for seven or eight minutes. That's what's known as earned media.

800
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: He earned me wanting to have Eric Tony on because

801
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: he had a record fundraising hall, he had all those

802
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: endorsements from sheriffs, for example. In about fifteen minutes, we're

803
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: going to talk to our good friend, Congressman Scott Fitzgerald.

804
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: He doesn't know this yet, but I am going to

805
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: spring the two unhinged libs on him and see which

806
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: one he thinks is the better unhinged liberal. That's earned media.

807
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: Trump got a billion dollars worth of it, A billion

808
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: dollars careful what you wish for. A very very good

809
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 1: Netflix adaptation of Frankenstein starring Oscar Isaac from the Star

810
00:52:55,000 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: Wars films. This was like Frankenstein's Monster. The lordy, very

811
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 1: very talented young actor plays Frankenstein's monster. And what's actually

812
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 1: shocking is that they didn't make everybody in the cast

813
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: a transgender, black, lesbian. They actually remained faithful to Mary

814
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: Shelley's vision of Frankenstein. But that was Trump. Trump was

815
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 1: Frankenstein's monster. And I think there's still if you want

816
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 1: to know what is just destroyed left wing psyches, I

817
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: still think there is an unwillingness or an inability to

818
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: fully come to grips with the fact that Donald Trump

819
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: was elected president twice three times. If you believe all

820
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 1: of the nonsense about what was going on in twenty twenty,

821
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,760
Speaker 1: all of the irregularities, especially in the state of Georgia,

822
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: where I think beyond a shadow of a doubt, it

823
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: is now beyond a parent that there were hundreds of

824
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: thousands of votes that shouldn't have been counted but were

825
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: because all of those votes, or at least most of them,

826
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:09,919
Speaker 1: were for Joe Biden. It's just interesting because you've got

827
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 1: people are who are nostalgic. And yes, also it's twenty sixteen.

828
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,280
Speaker 1: It's now just ten years ago, which is still bizarre.

829
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,239
Speaker 1: It is still mind blowing that twenty sixteen is ten

830
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: years ago. I had boy back then my kids. I

831
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: had an eight year old, I had a five year old,

832
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: and I had a one year old. My goodness, I

833
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 1: had a not even one year old. Ten years ago,

834
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: I had an infant. I had a baby man oh Man,

835
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: oh Man. Ten years out to folks, if you are younger,

836
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: if you're a young parent right now, I kind of

837
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,320
Speaker 1: half believed it when my parents and my in laws

838
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: and everybody said, honestly, cherish every day. What is the

839
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: old saying? The days are long but the years are short.

840
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,759
Speaker 1: It goes so fast. I've now got an eighteen year

841
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 1: old who's picking between colleges right now and filling out

842
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 1: college applications, and you're going to graduate from high school

843
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 1: in a couple of months. And I mean, it really

844
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: does blink and you miss it. All right, We are

845
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: going to be back with more of the Dan o'donald show.

846
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,280
Speaker 1: Truly truly bizarre story broken by the New York Post

847
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 1: about tyrannical style behavior here in Wisconsin. Then we get

848
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 1: to Scott Fitzgerald coming up. Voting still underway for potentially

849
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: the unhinged Liberal of the year. Back to back days

850
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 1: we just had incredibly funny unhinged liberals of the day.

851
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 1: Is it going to be the Trump gave Me menopause

852
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: lady or the now infamous and uber viral duck hunting

853
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,879
Speaker 1: Karen Text your vote to four one, four seven, nine

854
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: to nine eleven thirty. That is our ADVTNOS dot com

855
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: talk and text Lineville in Wood County very much lived

856
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:08,439
Speaker 1: up to its name. It is the pits after the

857
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:13,240
Speaker 1: Pittsville School District threatened a mother with a defamation suit

858
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: and the Pittsville police chief went to her home twice

859
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 1: because she posted a video from twenty twenty three this

860
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 1: past December of her little daughter, who is in a

861
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: wheelchair at the annual Christmas Singalong pageant, separated from the

862
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: other kids who are on a riser. In a cease

863
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: and desist demand letter last month. This according to our

864
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: very good friends at Wisconsin RightNow dot com. The district's attorney,

865
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: Shanna R. Lewis, wrote to the mother, Amanda Vogel, we

866
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: have reached out to you through local law enforcement to

867
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: requests that you remove the TikTok video. You initially agreed

868
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,760
Speaker 1: to remove the video, but did not follow through until

869
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 1: after several hours and a second visit with the police chief.

870
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: She then demanded that Vogel cease and desist from engaging

871
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: in any additional harassing and intimidating behavior toward district educators

872
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: and support staff. Wow, that video must have been awful.

873
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: It most certainly was not. All it was was Vogel's

874
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: little daughter sitting in her wheelchair while the other kids,

875
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: whose faces are blurred out, are singing The text on

876
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: the screen of the four or five second video merely

877
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 1: says the moment I decided to home school that nothing

878
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: even close to harassing. The Pittsville police chief is Jeremy Doer,

879
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 1: who is also the school resource officer and coach. I'm

880
00:57:55,520 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: not sure Wisconsin right now doesn't specify what coach. The Pittsville.

881
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:04,439
Speaker 1: Pittsville School District administrator is Jason K. Nott. We sought

882
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: comment from both. Doer said the police report would stand

883
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: as his comment. Not didn't respond. We exclusively received the

884
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: police report on this situation. Mister not Come on, these

885
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: guys are really named mister Nott and mister Durr. They

886
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: make it way too easy. Mister Nott advised that he

887
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: had contacted the school legal council and they suggested asking

888
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: law enforcement to ask Vogel to take the post down

889
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 1: due to possible school safety concerns. He also stated the

890
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: school would draft a cease and desist letter if the

891
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: post was not removed. Durr wrote in the report, adding,

892
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: I advised Vogel she did not have to take the

893
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: video down per her First Amendment right, but for the

894
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: school safety reason, I would appreciate it. I advised Vogel

895
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: the school had contacted legal counsel and were prepared to

896
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: write a cease and desist order if the video was

897
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: not removed. I alerted her to the possibility of a

898
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: civil defamation issue the school could pursue and quote. This

899
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 1: story was first broken by the New York Post, but

900
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: Wisconsin right now is the only one with the police report.

901
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't think I need to remind you that this

902
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent protected First Amendment. There is nothing

903
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: even remotely defamatory about this. She didn't even say. And look, folks,

904
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: I could actually see the teacher, not the district, not

905
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: sending the cops after a woman for posting a TikTok video.

906
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: But the little girl, she obviously can't be up on

907
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: her wheelchair on the risers. All the kids are standing

908
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 1: on a riser, and she's really not standing art sitting

909
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: all that far apart. But I get where the parent

910
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 1: is coming from. She's like, Okay, my kid is just

911
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: sort of sitting there, and she's like a little girl,

912
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: probably no more than about six or seven. Obviously, the

913
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: thing you want to do for a little girl and

914
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: make her feel a part of it, like put all

915
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: the kids, or put her like right next to all

916
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: the kids. Put put the kids in the front row

917
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: on the ground, and then the other kids on the

918
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: rise are behind her. It was just it was stupid.

919
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: It was an oversight on the music teacher whoever, you know.

920
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: Put the kids line the kids up, and all she

921
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: said was I think, possibly half joking. This is the

922
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: moment I decided to homeschool. Now, if she had said

923
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: something to the effect of, you know, the school hates

924
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: kids in wheelchairs, and look at this, maybe you have

925
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: a case even that. I mean, the police really like

926
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: this is the definition of the chilling effective speech that.

927
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: First of all, thank goodness, the Wisconsin Institute for Law

928
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 1: and Liberty, the fantastic legal firm here in the state,

929
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: has taken the case and they are suing the Pittsville

930
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: School District, and I believe the police department as well,

931
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:16,479
Speaker 1: because this is textbook intimidation designed to infringe on First

932
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: Amendment rights, and frankly, I it doesn't even so I

933
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:29,959
Speaker 1: talked yesterday about the streisand effect. Barber streisand years ago

934
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: is ticked off that people in like tour boats or

935
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: something were going by her house, which was right on

936
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: the ocean. So she did some action or wrote some

937
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: giant op ed in which she said, you know, stop

938
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 1: going by my house. Well, all that did was tell

939
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 1: everybody in the universe where her house was, and she

940
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,920
Speaker 1: had way more people going past her house. So the

941
01:01:54,960 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: streisand effect is you inadvertently draw a tention to something

942
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: that you just kind of want to go away. I

943
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: have never heard of anything like this a school district,

944
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 1: not just saying like, hey, you know that the principal

945
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: calls and said, hey, you know what can we do?

946
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: This was really unfortunate. We'd really really appreciate it if

947
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: you took down the TikTok video because we're just getting

948
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: buried and it was oversight a. He sent the cops. Now, granted,

949
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: there's probably a grand total of three cops in Pittsville

950
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: and the police chief just happens to be the school

951
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: resource officer. But this is why we have a first Amendment.

952
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: So hopefully, hopefully with will involved, and they did announce

953
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: that they are representing this mother. Today, with the publication

954
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: of the New York Post story, hopefully cooler heads will

955
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 1: prevail and this awful school district will back down. We

956
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: talk with Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald coming up. When The

957
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show returned, Welcome back, It is the Dan

958
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 1: o'donald Show. We are so pleased to be joined on

959
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: the phone by Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald, who has been

960
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 1: a great friend of the program for many, many years,

961
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 1: going all the way back to his days as the

962
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 1: leader of the Wisconsin State Senate. But Congressman. Here on

963
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 1: this show, we challenge people in power and we ask

964
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: the most difficult questions that we can possibly ask. Are

965
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: you ready to I don't want to be accused of

966
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,919
Speaker 1: sandbagging you, but are you ready to answer a very

967
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: difficult question?

968
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 14: I am, I'm ready.

969
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,480
Speaker 1: You sound way too excited for this. You know there

970
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: could be any scandal that I'm about to bring up?

971
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 10: All right?

972
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: You know, there's a whole lot going on in the

973
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: world today, sir, between unrest in Minneapolis, the situation in Venezuela.

974
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: You have got Obamacare subsidies, the unfolding unrest in Iran.

975
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: But I think what the people most want to know

976
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: from their congressional representative is who's the unhinged liberal of

977
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: the year. Is it Duck hunting Karen or is it

978
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: Trump gave me menopause? Lady. Now, all hour long we

979
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: have been taking votes from the public, and I'm not

980
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: gonna lie. Duck hunting Karen is way ahead at this point,

981
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:38,040
Speaker 1: but I think we need the the Wisconsin congressional delegation

982
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: to weigh in. So I'm gonna play a couple of

983
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: seconds of each one, and Congressman, Congressman, I want to

984
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: I want you to tell me which one is the

985
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: unhinged Liberal of the year. Here is duck hunting Karen.

986
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 5: Cotison.

987
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 7: First, I think it's.

988
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: A legendar, so it just kind of continues like that.

989
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: This isn't a Washington state group of Donny hunters are

990
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 1: confronted by a woman who just repeatedly starts shrieking at that.

991
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: But then you've got a woman who took to TikTok

992
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: yesterday to say that Donald Trump put her body through menopause.

993
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 9: This whole entire administration is so fucked. I'll tell you

994
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 9: it's so fucked. It actually put my body into menopause.

995
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:33,080
Speaker 9: I am so thoroughly repulsed by fucking Donald Trump and

996
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 9: all of his cronies, and they literally threw my body into.

997
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:41,880
Speaker 1: Menopause, the Party of Science, ladies and gentlemen. So, Congressman Fitzgerald,

998
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: what's your pick.

999
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 14: I didn't even think it's closed. It's it's gottomy duck cutting.

1000
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you're a man of the people, Sir.

1001
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 1: I agree. I agree as soon as I saw that.

1002
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's almost Dan.

1003
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,439
Speaker 14: I think it's almost amazing when I heard it, how

1004
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:03,520
Speaker 14: she like couched her profanity in this duck call.

1005
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 6: Kind of sound.

1006
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 14: It was kind of amazing when I first saw the video.

1007
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:11,400
Speaker 14: When I first heard it, him and I didn't get

1008
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 14: it either, because she almost sounds like she's trying to

1009
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 14: call the duck sea yes, stead of scaring them away,

1010
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:17,959
Speaker 14: you know, so.

1011
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 6: That would actually help the duck hunters. So it was

1012
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 6: all very confusing.

1013
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely, Sarah, all right, we got one more vote

1014
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 1: for duck hunting Karen. Coming up in just a couple

1015
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: of minutes. We are going to name a winner. I

1016
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: think at this point it's almost anti climactic, but we

1017
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: will replay duck hunting Karen. All Right, to some actual

1018
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: serious business, President Trump wants to, or at least he's

1019
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: talking about the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act in

1020
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 1: Minneapolis is that appropriate in your mind?

1021
01:06:58,480 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 6: It could be.

1022
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 14: I mean, what they've got is truly arising, I would say,

1023
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 14: in kind of active, open opposition. And it's obviously to authority,

1024
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:18,920
Speaker 14: which would be ICE law enforcement, but also to the

1025
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 14: law right.

1026
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 6: And you're the attorney, not me.

1027
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 14: I mean, both of those things seem to qualify as

1028
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 14: something that you know, the President could take action and

1029
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 14: actually say listen.

1030
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: Up, Oh boy, we lost Congressman Fitzgerald. Producer it it

1031
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: just dropped all right, Well, he voted in the in

1032
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: the Unhinged Liberal of the Year contest, and it's really

1033
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 1: all we needed him for. I assume he is going

1034
01:07:54,920 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: to call back in just a second, and there he

1035
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,320
Speaker 1: is right there. If you could just Popham right on,

1036
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: Congressman Fitzgerald, I apologize, we did. Your call just dropped out.

1037
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 1: I promise it was not you know what it was.

1038
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: It was the duck hunting Karen getting her revenge. She

1039
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: was telling you, she was telling you to blit off

1040
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell show. That's what she was doing, all right.

1041
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: So you were saying that not only is this a

1042
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: form of rebellion against the authority of ICE, it is

1043
01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: also a form of rebellion against the law itself, which

1044
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: ice is.

1045
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 14: Enforcing, right, and when you put anybody's person in jeopardy

1046
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 14: or certainly their property, it appears to kind of qualify

1047
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 14: for that definition of insurrection. So you know, with the

1048
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 14: way things are going right now Minneapolis and some of

1049
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 14: the suburban communities, it wouldn't surprise me if we end

1050
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:49,960
Speaker 14: up there at this point.

1051
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm definitely in the same camp. President Trump, by

1052
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: the way, did say he doesn't want to invoke the

1053
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 1: Insurrection Act. But I think if it was not the

1054
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 1: middle of January and many als, sir, if this was June,

1055
01:09:01,640 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: like George Floyd, we would have the exact same scenario.

1056
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Because it certainly looks like state and local leaders, especially

1057
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: Governor Walls and Mayor Fry, are doing the exact same

1058
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: thing that both of them, specifically both of them were

1059
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:16,440
Speaker 1: doing in twenty twenty six years ago, and that's stoking

1060
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 1: the fires of civil unrest. And this is the exact

1061
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 1: sort of thing that the Insurrection Act was designed to do.

1062
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 1: One of the big things that I think a lot

1063
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: of conservatives have been put off by over the past

1064
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: week or so is the fact that a whole lot

1065
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: of congressional Republicans, including Wisconsin's own Derek Van Orden, voted

1066
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 1: in support of providing Obama Care subsidies to essentially bail

1067
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 1: out Democrats from having to have their nose rubbed in

1068
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,600
Speaker 1: the steaming pile of you know what, that is, the

1069
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 1: Unaffordable Care Act that is very likely going to die

1070
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: in the Senate. What is your take on all of that.

1071
01:10:02,520 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 14: Yeah, there's a mechanism that is available to members of

1072
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 14: the House. It's called the discharge petition, which, just as

1073
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 14: it sounds, it's the petition. Members signed on to it,

1074
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 14: which is a way of circumventing the speaker and leadership

1075
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 14: the majority leader, to try and pull a bill directly

1076
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 14: to the floor. And there were enough Democrats, certainly they

1077
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 14: all signed on every Democrat in the House, and then

1078
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 14: with the aid of four Republicans, there was enough there

1079
01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 14: after the vote was all said and done, there were

1080
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,520
Speaker 14: actually I think twelve Republicans and each one of them

1081
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 14: in a very dicey political situation where certainly Congressman Van

1082
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 14: Orden is in as well. I thought Derek did a

1083
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 14: good job of explaining his vote.

1084
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I understood it. Immedia knew exactly what

1085
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:57,599
Speaker 1: he was doing.

1086
01:10:58,160 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 15: Sure, sure, and I think.

1087
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,760
Speaker 1: Seans do as well. I mean, nobody is ever going

1088
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:08,440
Speaker 1: to say Derek Van Orden is a secret liberal Obamacare supporter, Okay,

1089
01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:13,760
Speaker 1: out of everybody in the House. Yeah, yeah, exactly, absolutely not.

1090
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 6: But you know, I voted no.

1091
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 14: There was a lot of back and forth with constituents

1092
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 14: in the district who certainly had been part of the

1093
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 14: Affordable Care Act, had signed up for it, thinking I

1094
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 14: think that that throughout the entire time that there was

1095
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 14: going to be a subsidy that was going to aid

1096
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 14: or or simply eliminate the premium that some people were

1097
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 14: going to or required to pay. So it became very messy.

1098
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 14: But the idea that we would continue to subsidize this

1099
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 14: and the money would go directly into the insurance company's

1100
01:11:56,200 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 14: pockets and not not really have an idea of any

1101
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 14: reforms or any changes to it. Going way back to

1102
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 14: when John McCain gave it the thumb out on the

1103
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:12,639
Speaker 14: reforms it, you know, it was time to end this program. Now,

1104
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 14: I think there's a couple of great things that have

1105
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,960
Speaker 14: happened since then. One is a package that the Republicans

1106
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:20,719
Speaker 14: in the House were able to put on the floor

1107
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 14: and pass that have a number of reforms, including PBM

1108
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,679
Speaker 14: reforms which came up again today at the White House

1109
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:31,679
Speaker 14: in regards to pharmaceuticals yep. And then the President rolled

1110
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 14: out yesterday what he's calling the Great Healthcare Plan.

1111
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:38,759
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about that next there. Clearly

1112
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 1: I think is momentum to pass that in the House. Right.

1113
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 14: Yeah, there's certain provisions that I think either you could

1114
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 14: roll into a package and the Senate could throw it

1115
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,959
Speaker 14: over to the House, or you would have to revisit

1116
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,600
Speaker 14: the issue. But either way, you know, these health reimbursement

1117
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 14: accounts is something that employers have been asking for. It's

1118
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 14: not a health saving count, it's a different provision. Wall

1119
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,799
Speaker 14: Street Journal had a nice editorial about a month ago saying,

1120
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 14: if the Republicans don't do this, shame on them. This

1121
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:12,600
Speaker 14: is a wonderful idea that could eliminate the problem that

1122
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:15,679
Speaker 14: about half the people on Obamacare are having right now,

1123
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 14: which is for some reason, they end up without health

1124
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:20,439
Speaker 14: insurance right for many different reasons.

1125
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:22,639
Speaker 6: So I listen.

1126
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 14: I believe that there's an answer here, and maybe as

1127
01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 14: we move forward and people understand that what came out

1128
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 14: of the House is not going to pass in the

1129
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,839
Speaker 14: Senate that we can come up with something to make sense.

1130
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:38,760
Speaker 1: So ultimately, you think some of the core tenets, especially

1131
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 1: what I think is one of the smartest things that

1132
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: has ever been done is negotiating the most Favored Nation

1133
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 1: status for the United States with pretty much every major

1134
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 1: drug company. You think that is going to be codified

1135
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:52,919
Speaker 1: into law.

1136
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 3: Right, I do?

1137
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 14: You know, we have been talking about this favorite nation

1138
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 14: stuff for a long time. I'm the one thing that

1139
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 14: kind of I think put us in a good position

1140
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 14: is when we the PBMs were kind of exposed as

1141
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:12,400
Speaker 14: being the weak link.

1142
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 10: You know.

1143
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,320
Speaker 14: I remember being in the state center many years ago

1144
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 14: and these PBMs were starting to emerge. Yeah, and I

1145
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 14: had home hometown pharmacies in the district that would call

1146
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:22,920
Speaker 14: me and say can you please.

1147
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 6: Come in and we go in and talk about it.

1148
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:28,640
Speaker 14: And they were created to facilitate a lot of the

1149
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 14: deals that were part of pharmaceuticals, and instead they started

1150
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:34,760
Speaker 14: to take a skimp, and the skim got bigger and

1151
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 14: bigger and bigger until it's, you know, at a point

1152
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 14: now where it's just out of control.

1153
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 1: He is Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald. Sarah I always always

1154
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: enjoy having you on the program, especially when you're willing

1155
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 1: to play along with some of the silly stuff we

1156
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 1: do here, but also give us incredible insight from Washington.

1157
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 1: We really do appreciate you having on the show, having

1158
01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:59,519

Speaker 16: Hmm?

1161
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 6: Thanks Dan, Thanks great to be with you, You.

1162
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 1: Too, sir. I have a wonderful weekend. When we come

01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 1: the winner of our unhinged Liberal competition. Probably not much

1165
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 1: of a surprise, but you're gonna want to hear it. Nonetheless.

1166

Speaker 1: Hunting Karen of Washington State take a listen.

1167
01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 7: First, I think it's a leg.

1168
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 8: Go away.

1169
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:50,560
Speaker 1: She then confronts the hunters.

1170
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 7: Around here.

1171
01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 6: You want you walking around here?

1172
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:04,719
Speaker 14: Exactly my point.

1173
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,080

01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 3: I like.

1175
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 1: The lead Hunter then has an epic comeback.

Speaker 6: I love it.

1177
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 10: She is.

1178
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 1: I love it too, sir. She is your unhinged Liberal

1179
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 1: of the year so far. When we have someone worthy

1180
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:35,920
Speaker 1: of challenging her, we'll do another vote. But right now,

Speaker 6: any liberal friends and how you deal with them. I

1225
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 6: got a good funny that I went to high school with,

1226
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:14,760
Speaker 6: and he uber liberal, lives on the North Shore, you know,

Speaker 6: And it's like almost to the point know if I

1229
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:22,720
Speaker 6: can be friends with him?

Speaker 1: Oh, come on, you, I've.

1231

Speaker 6: Been friends with him since I was fourteen.

1232
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: Well, there you go. There, you just don't talk about politics.

1233
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,679
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's honestly, that's the thing I do have.

1234
01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: You know, I have gotten to know a whole lot

1235
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 1: of people in my community through soccer coaching and coaching

1236
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 1: various other sports, and a number of them that I've

1237
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,080
Speaker 1: gotten to be very good friends with obviously don't share

1238
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:50,639
Speaker 1: my political views. What I always tell them is, yeah, no,

1239
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 1: well a lot of them don't don't. What I tell

1240
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 1: them is, don't listen to me on the radio. Uh,

1241
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 1: just know the dam that you know in person, and

1242
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: you just kind of a avoid the topic. And if

1243
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:06,639
Speaker 1: you need to mute your buddy on Facebook, definitely do so,

1244
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 1: because frankly, it's sort of like my very best friend

1245
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 1: that I've been friends with since we were like six

1246
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:17,240
Speaker 1: years old. For goodness sakes, he's a Bears fan. And

1247
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 1: obviously last Saturday, that is almost worse, isn't it. Last

1248
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: Saturday we were getting together at another friend's house and

1249
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,040
Speaker 1: I was at you know, I put out the text, Hey,

1250
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 1: what's everybody doing for the game, And of course he said,

1251
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm not watching it with any of you bums. Because

1252
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 1: no matter what I do, it's a lose lose. If

1253
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 1: you know the Bears are winning, I'm going to get,

1254
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, smack talked all night long. If the Bears

1255
01:20:43,240 --> 01:20:46,519
Speaker 1: are losing, then the Bears are losing, and I'm going

1256
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:48,840
Speaker 1: to have to hear all you people gloating. So it's

1257
01:20:48,880 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: sort of like that. You know, he's a die hard

1258
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:54,559
Speaker 1: Brewers fan. He's a season ticket holder for the Brewers.

1259
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 1: He goes to Marquette games. I believe he used to

1260
01:20:57,000 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 1: be a season ticket holder for Marquette basketball the Bucks.

1261
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 1: He's a die hard conservative. So you know, you just

1262
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 1: kind of what I see.

1263
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:09,559
Speaker 6: Don't you ever try to convince them the other way?

1264
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:12,320
Speaker 1: No, no, I don't because it's sort of like the

1265
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:14,920
Speaker 1: way I see it, the way I see it, Matt, really,

1266
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 1: Oh go ahead.

1267
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 6: My buddy's a really smart guy, you know.

1268
01:21:19,600 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 1: And it blows your mind. Yeah, it blows your mind

1269
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 1: that someone would not think that way. I know me too. Honestly,

1270
01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 1: what I find, Matt is people on the other side

1271
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: tend to be far more emotionally invested in politics that

1272
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,479
Speaker 1: they literally can't. This is actually born out by studies

1273
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 1: that far more liberals self identified liberals and Democrats have

1274
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:51,040
Speaker 1: defriended somebody on Facebook or ended a friendship or ended

1275
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 1: a personal relationship over politics than conservatives do. And I

1276
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 1: would just very strongly urge you focus on all of

1277
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 1: the things that you have in common, because I'm telling

1278
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 1: you it is never worth throwing away a friendship over

1279
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: something as silly as what football team you're root for

1280
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:13,840
Speaker 1: or what politicians you root for, no matter how dumb

1281
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 1: you might think your friend is. And trust me, I

1282
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 1: think my friend is quite dumb for supporting the Bears.

1283
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: I'll give him credit. His brother actually defected. They're from Kenosha.

1284
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: The family is originally from Kenosha, so they got all

1285
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears games on TV, and that's how the

1286
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 1: family all became Bears fans. His older brother gave up

1287
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: on the Bears and became a Packers fan. He just

1288
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 1: couldn't take it anymore. And my buddy held strong. I've

1289
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: got a lot of respect for that. Talk radio Roulette.

1290
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: Let's spin that wheel. It lands on Jerry in Madison.

1291
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:50,200
Speaker 1: You're up next on Talk Radio Roulette. What's going on, sir.

1292
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:51,680
Speaker 10: Ah?

1293
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:52,679
Speaker 15: You doing this evening?

1294
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 1: Fantastic? My friend? What's up?

1295
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 13: Well?

1296
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 6: Dan?

1297
01:22:57,000 --> 01:23:00,759
Speaker 15: I wanted to tell you I really appreciate your show

1298
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:04,719
Speaker 15: and what your your style of journalism is particularly relevant

1299
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:05,640
Speaker 15: to Wisconsin.

1300
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:08,439
Speaker 1: Thank you? Yeah, sure, go ahead.

1301
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 15: Okay, there are six possible choices, and I'm prepared to

1302
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 15: debate you if you picked the wrong one. Okay, which

1303
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 15: movie featuring the original cast? Which Star Trek movie is

1304
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 15: the best one?

1305
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is going to to absolutely blow your mind.

1306
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: Star Trek. I mean, I know everybody's supposed to say

1307
01:23:35,400 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 1: Wrath of Khan. I only watched that. Yeah, it is,

1308
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:43,160
Speaker 1: it is. I know I've only watched that one and

1309
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 1: the original. I never got into Star Trek. I just

1310
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:50,720
Speaker 1: I tried, uh not Deep Space nine, the other one

1311
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,519
Speaker 1: Enterprise Enterprise with Jean Luke Picard that was very, very

1312
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 1: big when I was growing up. I tried to get

1313
01:23:57,240 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 1: into it. I just couldn't. I thought that were unbelievably dull.

1314
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: I know, I know Star Trek fans, trekkers, I love you.

1315
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: You say it's like Star Wars for intelligent people. I'm

1316
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 1: not very intelligent. I much preferred Star Wars to Star Trek.

1317
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: I just I never got into it, and honestly, I

1318
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 1: don't think I could remember a whole lot of details

1319
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:24,000
Speaker 1: about the two Star Trek movies that I did watch

1320
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: probably twenty five years ago or so. Let's go to

1321
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:31,760
Speaker 1: Josh on the South Side. You're on talk radio, Roletto. Wait,

1322
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: hold on, let's spin that reel. Josh. All right, you're up, sir,

1323
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:35,599
Speaker 1: what's on your mind?

1324
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 9: So?

1325
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,639
Speaker 11: I remember looking this up some time, but I forgot

1326
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 11: over the years, and I think it happened at the

1327
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 11: end of Obama.

1328
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 2: How did sanctuary cities start?

1329
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 10: And it's just a horrible.

1330
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 1: Time, boy, sanctuary cities started. I think it was just

1331
01:24:53,280 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: a couple of cities decided I want to say, yes,

1332
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:01,080
Speaker 1: it was during the Obama administration. They just so decided

1333
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 1: that they were going to no longer cooperate with ICE

1334
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 1: in the federal government. I don't know if there was

1335
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 1: one single event. I seem to recall some of the

1336
01:25:14,160 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: very earliest were like ann Arbor, Michigan. And again, this

1337
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: was about a decade ago. I think it was when

1338
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:25,599
Speaker 1: Obama was doing DACA and DAPPA and that sort of thing.

1339
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 1: We actually played one of his sound bites yesterday in

1340
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,599
Speaker 1: which he was talking about the need for enforcement. That's

1341
01:25:31,640 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 1: an excellent question. I don't remember where the first sanctuary

1342
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 1: cities were I just know there were a couple that

1343
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 1: just would not cooperate with federal immigration authorities, and then

1344
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 1: obviously during Trump's first term, a whole lot of cities day.

1345
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 1: That's a great question. I'm going to look that up

1346
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 1: during the commercial break, hopefully have an answer for you.

1347
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: Ricky and Jackson up next on Talk Radio Roulette. What's

1348
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:56,639
Speaker 1: going on? Ricky?

1349
01:25:58,680 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 10: Hi?

1350
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:01,640
Speaker 17: Jam Yes, I really love you. Should my husband and

1351
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 17: I thank you.

1352
01:26:02,960 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 3: Okay.

1353
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 17: My question is, when we are so weak and at

1354
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 17: loose ends under Biden, why didn't Russia, China and North

1355
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:12,679
Speaker 17: Korea Iran?

1356
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 14: Why didn't they take the get together and just crush us?

1357
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: What were they afraid of? What just happened in Venezuela.

1358
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: As weak as the United States has ever been. It

1359
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 1: is my very strong belief, and it's been borne out

1360
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 1: by pretty much everything Donald Trump has done with respect

1361
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:36,280
Speaker 1: to military action in his two terms, that we are

1362
01:26:36,479 --> 01:26:40,320
Speaker 1: light years ahead of every other country when it comes

1363
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:41,880
Speaker 1: to military tech.

1364
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:42,760
Speaker 16: Uh.

1365
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 1: There have been rumors. I don't know how founded they are,

1366
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:50,719
Speaker 1: but some of the surviving guards in the Maduro raid

1367
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:55,639
Speaker 1: said that the American special forces uncorked some sound wave

1368
01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 1: weapon that basically rendered them unable to get onto their feet.

1369
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,719
Speaker 1: They were like bleeding out of their ears and noses.

1370
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:07,719
Speaker 1: And we also have the ability to provide death from above,

1371
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: as we showed six years ago with Cossam Sulamani, where

1372
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 1: we had a drone strike hit him with such precision

1373
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:19,000
Speaker 1: that other cars in his procession when he was getting

1374
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 1: out of the airport. And I believe it was Bagdad.

1375
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 1: I know he was in a rock. I believe he

1376
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 1: was flying into Baghdad. There were other cars in that

1377
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:31,360
Speaker 1: motorcade that weren't hit. So the United States, even under

1378
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:36,480
Speaker 1: a doddering fool like Obama, I believe, would absolutely obliterate

1379
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:40,599
Speaker 1: pretty much any other nation, even a group of nations

1380
01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:43,160
Speaker 1: that would gang up against us. And also remember the

1381
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 1: United States is uniquely, so uniquely situated that invasion of

1382
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,519
Speaker 1: it is almost totally impossible. I'm not going to say

1383
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 1: it's impossible, but first of all, all of our enemies

1384
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 1: are across the sea. They would have to, without us knowing,

1385
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 1: get troops across the Pacific Ocean. But how likely do

1386
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:09,720
Speaker 1: you think that's going to be? Carrier groups would have

1387
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 1: to position them so we'd blast them out of the

1388
01:28:12,040 --> 01:28:15,679
Speaker 1: sky and The other thing is wars are no longer fought,

1389
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 1: and I think Trump has proved that wars are no

1390
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 1: longer fought the way they were even during the Bush era,

1391
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:26,640
Speaker 1: where we invade a country and then try to promote democracy.

1392
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 1: What Trump has shown is we'll just take out you,

1393
01:28:32,360 --> 01:28:34,679
Speaker 1: every one of your allies, every one of your top

1394
01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 1: military commanders. We will use our technology to disable your

1395
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 1: missile defense and air defense systems, as we did in Venezuela.

1396
01:28:43,439 --> 01:28:49,759
Speaker 1: And the Venezuelan systems were and this was particularly shall

1397
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 1: we say sphincter puckering for China because Venezuela's supposedly had

1398
01:28:55,400 --> 01:29:00,519
Speaker 1: the very best Chinese made air defense systems. If they

1399
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:03,960
Speaker 1: worked that poorly in Caracas, how poorly do you think

1400
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 1: they would work in Beijing? And and that's sort of

1401
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:12,080
Speaker 1: I think, always an ultimate deterrent, no matter who is president,

1402
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,719
Speaker 1: no matter how fuck is. Let's spin the wheel again

1403
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 1: and go to Mike in Pewaukee. You're on talk radio Roulette, Mike,

1404
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:20,040
Speaker 1: what's up?

1405
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:21,840
Speaker 16: Huh?

1406
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:26,040
Speaker 17: Then my question will be about the New York mayors,

1407
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 17: the socialist what thinks he will do in the future

1408
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:35,679
Speaker 17: that everybody will say, hope we select a bad guy,

1409
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 17: What did you're gonna do that they will wake up

1410
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:40,719
Speaker 17: from their deep Uh?

1411
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:44,519
Speaker 1: Probably nothing. Given given the people of New York and

1412
01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:48,839
Speaker 1: their socialist leadings. The question was what could Mam Donnie

1413
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 1: Soodan Mamdani, the brand new mayor of New York do

1414
01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:55,640
Speaker 1: that would make people think twice about him. The greatest

1415
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:59,439
Speaker 1: advantage that Mom Donnie has is most of his out

1416
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 1: there propos are going to be blocked by the city Council,

1417
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 1: or the New York State legislature or the courts. He's

1418
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:10,839
Speaker 1: not going to be able to simply nationalize the grocery stores.

1419
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:14,960
Speaker 1: He's not going to be able to simply take over

1420
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:20,439
Speaker 1: the tenancy of hundreds of thousands or millions of New

1421
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:23,439
Speaker 1: Yorkers as he might want. I mean, this is an

1422
01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:26,400
Speaker 1: out and out communist. He's not a socialist. He is

1423
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:30,679
Speaker 1: an absolute communist. But I don't think he is going

1424
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:34,599
Speaker 1: to be able to be nearly as effective as people

1425
01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:37,760
Speaker 1: fear he's going to, and paradoxically that's going to be

1426
01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:41,599
Speaker 1: his greatest advantage. One of the big reasons that Governor

1427
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:45,280
Speaker 1: Tony Evers was reelected in twenty twenty two is because

1428
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:49,439
Speaker 1: you had Robin Voss standing there as the speaker of

1429
01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:53,640
Speaker 1: the State Assembly, blocking every single one of the farthest

1430
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:58,280
Speaker 1: left policies that Evers wanted to implement, especially through the budget.

1431
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:01,320
Speaker 1: They just ripped it up and start it all over now.

1432
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 1: Of course, Mom Donnie has a lot of allies in

1433
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,479
Speaker 1: state government, and Kathy Hokl, the governor of New York,

1434
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:10,120
Speaker 1: just said she's going to work with him on universal childcare,

1435
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:12,559
Speaker 1: which is a big disaster waiting to happen.

1436
01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:13,439
Speaker 10: Uh.

1437
01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:16,080
Speaker 1: But I don't think I think he's going to get

1438
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: a second term because his worst policies are not going

1439
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 1: to be an actor. Let's spin that wheel again and

1440
01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:27,080
Speaker 1: go to Jason in Waterford up next on talk radio Roulette.

1441
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:32,760
Speaker 5: What's going on, Jason, But the supremacy clause, how much

1442
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:34,560
Speaker 5: you think of liberal explode?

1443
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:37,320
Speaker 13: Yes, Theda.

1444
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:41,840
Speaker 15: Take care of all the marijuana sales there, whether he

1445
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:44,880
Speaker 15: alone or with destruction.

1446
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:47,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't quite get where you were going that

1447
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:51,880
Speaker 1: with the supremacy clause. You're asking what if Trump would

1448
01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:56,240
Speaker 1: actually enforce marijuana as a I don't believe it's a

1449
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:59,400
Speaker 1: Schedule one narcotic anymore. I believe he changed that U

1450
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:02,200
Speaker 1: but it is still outlawed under federal law, and in

1451
01:32:02,240 --> 01:32:04,519
Speaker 1: this actually, I'm so glad you brought this up, Jason,

1452
01:32:04,840 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 1: because this is a fascinating issue. How is it that

1453
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:12,160
Speaker 1: states have been able to legalize marijuana when marijuana is

1454
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 1: illegal under federal law? Well, the simple reason is that

1455
01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:20,080
Speaker 1: so many states legalized marijuana when Joe Biden was president,

1456
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:24,000
Speaker 1: and there just hasn't been much of an appetite even

1457
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:28,160
Speaker 1: amongst Republicans at the federal level, to challenge the states

1458
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:32,679
Speaker 1: if there was a lawsuit on supremacy clause grounds that

1459
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 1: the supremacy clause says federal law trump's state law. You

1460
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:39,640
Speaker 1: can't have a state law that contradicts federal law. Legalizing

1461
01:32:39,680 --> 01:32:44,640
Speaker 1: marijuana is a huge violation of the supremacy clause. But

1462
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:48,320
Speaker 1: this also brings up an interesting perspective about law. You

1463
01:32:48,400 --> 01:32:51,000
Speaker 1: need someone to enforce it. If it's not enforced, well

1464
01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:54,000
Speaker 1: then you can kind of do whatever you want. Scott

1465
01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 1: in Saint Francis, you're on talk radio Roulette. What's going on? Scott?

1466
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:04,600
Speaker 10: The last guy almost took my my question about marijuana,

1467
01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:08,960
Speaker 10: which is what I was going to ask you about. Okay,

1468
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:13,360
Speaker 10: do you think people like me and Jay Weber have

1469
01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 10: lost this argument about marijuana because I take it.

1470
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 1: You're you're very much opposed to it, like Jay was is.

1471
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:28,080
Speaker 10: Well, there's also it's an insurance problem for many employers,

1472
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:31,160
Speaker 10: and you can't hire anybody if you can't if you

1473
01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:35,200
Speaker 10: can't if they can't ass a drug test, that's a

1474
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:36,639
Speaker 10: huge insurance problem.

1475
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 1: And I you know, Scott, I don't think you've necessarily

1476
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:44,960
Speaker 1: lost the argument because you're You're correct, you and Jay

1477
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:48,720
Speaker 1: and I am actually very much against the legalization of marijuana,

1478
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:53,120
Speaker 1: uh because it is it is very dangerous, especially for

1479
01:33:53,240 --> 01:33:58,160
Speaker 1: developing brains. There's clear links to schizophrenia, especially when used

1480
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:03,000
Speaker 1: in conjunction with very powerful mind altering drugs like folks.

1481
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:06,880
Speaker 1: I make no I am very open about who I am.

1482
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 1: I smoked marijuana when I was younger, and I was

1483
01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:14,440
Speaker 1: one of those rare people who was actually more motivated.

1484
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:17,599
Speaker 1: I thought I was much more creative in my writing,

1485
01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:21,519
Speaker 1: but I ultimately realized, like, man, this is probably frying

1486
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:26,600
Speaker 1: my brain. And I also take a stelepram, which is

1487
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 1: a generic form of lexaprone. I was last year diagnosed

1488
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:31,360
Speaker 1: with ADHD. Shocker.

1489
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:31,800
Speaker 10: I know.

1490
01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:34,840
Speaker 1: So I am on as terrorists, which is sort of

1491
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:38,599
Speaker 1: a slow release adderall when you are on those types

1492
01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 1: of drugs and a whole lot of younger people are

1493
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:44,400
Speaker 1: on them. You combine that with mind altering substances like

1494
01:34:44,439 --> 01:34:49,439
Speaker 1: even alcohol. I think you're seeing the dramatic rise in

1495
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:53,920
Speaker 1: serious mental health issues. So Scott, you, J and I

1496
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 1: are absolutely correct on the argument. The issue though, is

1497
01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:04,200
Speaker 1: politically speaking, are we in a distinct minority? Yes? We are?

1498
01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:07,920
Speaker 1: And is this going to be an issue that is

1499
01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:12,160
Speaker 1: used to bludgeon Republicans and conservatives like abortion is. Yes,

1500
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:16,040
Speaker 1: it probably will be. Let's go to Chris in West

1501
01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:19,720
Speaker 1: Bend Up next on talk radio Roulette.

1502
01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:23,960
Speaker 18: Hey, thanks for taking my call. I've got some questions

1503
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:29,840
Speaker 18: about Greenland, Frank, I do too, Okay, a lot of them.

1504
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:32,320
Speaker 18: A lot of the talk, a lot of the talk

1505
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:34,439
Speaker 18: is over the top for me. I like, I don't

1506
01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:36,200
Speaker 18: think we need to be pick in fights with our

1507
01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:39,640
Speaker 18: European allies. I'm also wondering, I want your opinion. Do

1508
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:42,679
Speaker 18: you think Trump's just using all sorts of big talk

1509
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:46,400
Speaker 18: to kind of make this happen naturally and through a deal.

1510
01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 6: I really do think.

1511
01:35:47,800 --> 01:35:50,720
Speaker 18: I mean I would I would be really annoyed or

1512
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 18: kind of hurt if we actually did some kind of

1513
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 18: military No.

1514
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,959
Speaker 1: No, we're not. There's no chance we're going to invade Greenland.

1515
01:36:00,800 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 1: What Trump wants to do is to convince the Greenlandic

1516
01:36:04,479 --> 01:36:09,120
Speaker 1: people to vote to secede. They are a Danish territory,

1517
01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:12,679
Speaker 1: they're under the Kingdom of Denmark. And what Trump would

1518
01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:17,560
Speaker 1: basically do is buy the island by paying each Greenlandic

1519
01:36:17,720 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 1: person to vote to secede, or deal directly with the

1520
01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:26,160
Speaker 1: government of Denmark, which would be unwilling. I heard the

1521
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:29,080
Speaker 1: price at something like seven hundred billion dollars. This whole

1522
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:34,800
Speaker 1: thing has just boggled my mind because like, we have

1523
01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:39,040
Speaker 1: an agreement with Denmark where we can put military bases

1524
01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:43,080
Speaker 1: wherever we want on Greenland, we could put one in

1525
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 1: the middle of a town square and they would let

1526
01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:48,960
Speaker 1: us do it. And there is there has been no

1527
01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:53,360
Speaker 1: effort by either Russia or China to use admittedly a

1528
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:59,280
Speaker 1: very very very strategic point in the North Atlantic. We

1529
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 1: control Greenland already. I just I do not understand what

1530
01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 1: the obsession is with trying to buy Greenland. All right,

1531
01:37:09,280 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 1: should we do one more call? We do have to

1532
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:12,920
Speaker 1: get to hel Biz. Are there some other stuff I

1533
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:16,360
Speaker 1: want to get to. So final call is going to

1534
01:37:16,560 --> 01:37:21,240
Speaker 1: be let's see Matt on the south side of Milwaukee.

1535
01:37:21,360 --> 01:37:25,280
Speaker 1: You're on Talk Radio Roulette, Sir, Hey.

1536
01:37:25,120 --> 01:37:25,639
Speaker 10: How you doing.

1537
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 13: I agree with you a lot on your earlier comments

1538
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:34,320
Speaker 13: about the US being invaded by our enemies and their troops,

1539
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:38,920
Speaker 13: But unfortunately they're sending their money over and they're buying

1540
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:43,439
Speaker 13: mercenaries in this country, political mercenaries like you see up

1541
01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:46,680
Speaker 13: in Minneapolis and all the other cities and states that

1542
01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:49,160
Speaker 13: are going crazy left wings.

1543
01:37:49,400 --> 01:37:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. So we're sort of in a state of what

1544
01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:56,439
Speaker 1: I would call cold civil war right where we have.

1545
01:37:56,720 --> 01:38:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean, and when you talk about no America can't

1546
01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:04,519
Speaker 1: be invaded by a traditional military force, my god, We've

1547
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:08,000
Speaker 1: been invaded to the tune of fifteen to twenty twenty

1548
01:38:08,040 --> 01:38:11,960
Speaker 1: five million people over the past couple of years, with

1549
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:17,680
Speaker 1: politicians on the other side just letting people in to

1550
01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:23,679
Speaker 1: vote against traditional American values and vote in favor of

1551
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:28,240
Speaker 1: creeping socialism, which is now just dancing out in the open. Folks.

1552
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:32,480
Speaker 1: This is quickly becoming one of my very favorite segments

1553
01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 1: Talk Radio Roulette each and every Friday at five oh six. Look,

1554
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:39,880
Speaker 1: let's have some fun. Ask me anything, bring up any

1555
01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:43,960
Speaker 1: point you want coming up next. Strangest stories of the

1556
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:48,360
Speaker 1: past seven days. Our weekly segment How Bizarre coming up

1557
01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:54,559
Speaker 1: on the Dan O'Donnell show, Welcome Back. It is that

1558
01:38:54,720 --> 01:38:58,759
Speaker 1: time of the week where we take a break from

1559
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:02,120
Speaker 1: the serious and instead focus on the silly, the strange,

1560
01:39:02,240 --> 01:39:05,800
Speaker 1: the stories that make us scratch our heads and say

1561
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:07,599
Speaker 1: to ourselves.

1562
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 3: Abazare.

1563
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:10,280
Speaker 13: Albaza.

1564
01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:16,120
Speaker 1: In one of the truly most hilarious exchanges I think

1565
01:39:16,120 --> 01:39:19,240
Speaker 1: you will ever see on the floor of this Senate,

1566
01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:26,680
Speaker 1: Senator Josh Holly Uh basically grilled a doctor by the

1567
01:39:26,760 --> 01:39:32,439
Speaker 1: name of Rina Verma about whether men can get pregnant.

1568
01:39:32,520 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 1: Let's pot down the theme music here, because you need

1569
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:42,120
Speaker 1: to hear the full three minute, forty second masterpiece that

1570
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:48,200
Speaker 1: is this exchange. Yes, folks, libs really are this night.

1571
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:48,760
Speaker 10: Verma.

1572
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:50,960
Speaker 16: I wasn't sure I understood your answer to Senator Moody

1573
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:53,599
Speaker 16: a moment ago, do you think that men can get pregnant?

1574
01:39:55,960 --> 01:39:58,840
Speaker 19: I hesitated there because I wasn't sure where the conversation

1575
01:39:59,040 --> 01:40:01,559
Speaker 19: was going or what the goal was. I mean, I

1576
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:03,920
Speaker 19: do take care of patients with different identities. I take

1577
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:06,080
Speaker 19: care of many women. I take care of people with

1578
01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:11,479
Speaker 19: different identities, and so that's where I paused. I think, yeah,

1579
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:13,120
Speaker 19: I wasn't sure where you were going with that.

1580
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:15,400
Speaker 7: Well, the goal is just the truth? So can men

1581
01:40:15,439 --> 01:40:16,040
Speaker 7: get pregnant?

1582
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:19,920
Speaker 19: Again? The reason I paused there is I'm not really

1583
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:21,719
Speaker 19: sure what the goal of the question.

1584
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:24,200
Speaker 7: Goal is to establish a biological reality.

1585
01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:27,080
Speaker 16: You just said a moment ago that science and evidence

1586
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:28,680
Speaker 16: should control, not politics.

1587
01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:32,320
Speaker 7: So let's just test that proposition. Can men get pregnant?

1588
01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:35,519
Speaker 19: I take care of people with many identities, but.

1589
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:37,000
Speaker 7: Can men get pregnant?

1590
01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:39,800
Speaker 19: Many women that can get pregnant? I do take care

1591
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 19: of people that don't identify as women.

1592
01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:44,440
Speaker 7: That can can men get pregnant?

1593
01:40:45,320 --> 01:40:45,559
Speaker 1: Again?

1594
01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:47,720
Speaker 19: As I'm saying, let me.

1595
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 16: Just remind you testify to a moment ago science and

1596
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:55,400
Speaker 16: evidence should control, not politics, So should can men get pregnant?

1597
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:59,440
Speaker 19: You're a doctor, say science and evidence should guide medicine.

1598
01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:02,719
Speaker 16: Do science that evidence tell us that men can get pregnant?

1599
01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:04,519
Speaker 16: Biological men? Can they get pregnant?

1600
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:07,040
Speaker 19: I also think yes, No questions like this are a

1601
01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:08,040
Speaker 19: political tool.

1602
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 7: No, yes, No, questions are about the truth. Doctor.

1603
01:41:10,479 --> 01:41:12,720
Speaker 16: Let's not make a mockery of this proceeding. This is

1604
01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:15,640
Speaker 16: about science and evidence, and I'm asking you. You know

1605
01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:18,639
Speaker 16: the United States Supreme Court just heard arguments yesterday at

1606
01:41:18,720 --> 01:41:22,400
Speaker 16: great length on this question. This is not a hypothetical question.

1607
01:41:22,439 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 16: This is not theoretical that affects real people in their

1608
01:41:25,360 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 16: real lives. And you're here as an expert, called by

1609
01:41:28,160 --> 01:41:30,799
Speaker 16: the other side as an expert, and you've been telling

1610
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 16: us that you that you follow right, you're a doctor,

1611
01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:36,479
Speaker 16: and you follow the science and the evidence. So I

1612
01:41:36,560 --> 01:41:39,720
Speaker 16: just want to know, based on the science, can men

1613
01:41:39,720 --> 01:41:43,880
Speaker 16: get pregnant? That's a yes or no question, it really is.

1614
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:48,000
Speaker 19: I think I think you're trying to reduce the complexity.

1615
01:41:47,280 --> 01:41:47,719
Speaker 1: Of a life.

1616
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:48,040
Speaker 7: I'm not.

1617
01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:50,640
Speaker 16: I'm trying to get it's not complex. I'm trying to

1618
01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:53,040
Speaker 16: get to an answer, and I'm trying to test, frankly,

1619
01:41:53,080 --> 01:41:57,800
Speaker 16: your veracity as a medical professional and as a scientist.

1620
01:41:57,920 --> 01:41:58,879
Speaker 7: Can men get pregnant?

1621
01:41:59,360 --> 01:42:02,560
Speaker 19: I think you're so conflating this extraordinary.

1622
01:42:03,160 --> 01:42:06,000
Speaker 16: No, I'm not conflating male and female. There're two different things.

1623
01:42:06,040 --> 01:42:09,439
Speaker 16: There's biological men and there's biological women.

1624
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:11,679
Speaker 7: And I want to know can men get pregnant?

1625
01:42:12,600 --> 01:42:15,240
Speaker 19: What you were talking about is biology. I'm not going

1626
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:17,800
Speaker 19: to answer my question iological males.

1627
01:42:18,600 --> 01:42:22,479
Speaker 7: This isn't a hard doctor. Can men get pregnant? Yes

1628
01:42:22,800 --> 01:42:23,240
Speaker 7: or no?

1629
01:42:24,479 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 19: I would be more than happy to have a conversation

1630
01:42:27,360 --> 01:42:29,800
Speaker 19: with you that is not coming from a place of

1631
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:32,599
Speaker 19: trying to be polarized and pushing.

1632
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:34,720
Speaker 7: I'm not trying to be polarizing. I'm trying to ask.

1633
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:37,920
Speaker 16: I think it is extraordinary that we are here in

1634
01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:42,559
Speaker 16: hearing about science and about women, and for the record,

1635
01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:46,240
Speaker 16: it's women who get pregnant, not men. We are here

1636
01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:51,599
Speaker 16: about the safety of women and science that shows that

1637
01:42:51,640 --> 01:42:57,639
Speaker 16: this abortion drug causes adverse health events in eleven percent

1638
01:42:57,920 --> 01:43:02,160
Speaker 16: of cases. That's twenty two times greater than the FDA label.

1639
01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:04,840
Speaker 16: Another fact you haven't acknowledged, and yet you won't even

1640
01:43:04,880 --> 01:43:09,960
Speaker 16: acknowledge the basic reality that biological men don't get pregnant.

1641
01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:12,960
Speaker 16: There's a difference between biological men and biological women.

1642
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:14,559
Speaker 7: I just I don't know how.

1643
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:17,519
Speaker 16: We can take you seriously and your claims to be

1644
01:43:17,680 --> 01:43:21,439
Speaker 16: a person of science if you won't level with this

1645
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:23,599
Speaker 16: on this basic issue. I thought we were past all

1646
01:43:23,600 --> 01:43:27,000
Speaker 16: of this. Frankly, I can't believe we're still here talking

1647
01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:27,559
Speaker 16: about this.

1648
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:28,599
Speaker 3: How bizarre.

1649
01:43:30,880 --> 01:43:35,800
Speaker 1: How bizarre doesn't get more bizarre than that, doesn't I

1650
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:41,720
Speaker 1: told you you needed to hear every breath in that exchange.

1651
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:46,960
Speaker 1: She knew what the answer is men cannot get pregnant.

1652
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:51,800
Speaker 1: It is a biological impossibility. But if she said that,

1653
01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:56,519
Speaker 1: that is going to be used forever. She's a liberal

1654
01:43:56,560 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 1: and good standing admitting that the entire trans delusion is

1655
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:07,080
Speaker 1: just that it's amazing to me that anybody ever considered

1656
01:44:07,240 --> 01:44:11,720
Speaker 1: these people to be the party of Psius. Just to

1657
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:16,960
Speaker 1: prove to you that I am an equal opportunity, shall

1658
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 1: we say, selector of truly bizarre stories of the week?

1659
01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:24,960
Speaker 1: Candice Owens, I don't know what has gone on in

1660
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:28,679
Speaker 1: her brain, but she is now claiming that Charlie Kirk

1661
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:32,680
Speaker 1: was a time traveler and that from the time he

1662
01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:39,160
Speaker 1: was very young, he had agents on his trail. She

1663
01:44:39,320 --> 01:44:42,320
Speaker 1: claimed that Charlie told her he was a time traveler

1664
01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 1: and had to find her. She claimed to have this

1665
01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:47,639
Speaker 1: text message exchange with Kirk and went on to say

1666
01:44:47,840 --> 01:44:50,880
Speaker 1: how she was occupied by the text messages and when

1667
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:55,200
Speaker 1: she read them, they made her wonder what is reality actually.

1668
01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:58,280
Speaker 1: She then went on to drop bombshell claim saying, quote,

1669
01:44:58,439 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 1: they knew something about Charles and that's why they had

1670
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:05,080
Speaker 1: him marked, had him martyred, and had him followed since

1671
01:45:05,120 --> 01:45:08,880
Speaker 1: he was young, she said, referring to her allegation of

1672
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:12,439
Speaker 1: Kirk being a time traveler. As per Owens, they felt

1673
01:45:12,479 --> 01:45:18,479
Speaker 1: that killing Kirk might change some outcome. She also claimed

1674
01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:21,800
Speaker 1: that when Charlie was very young he had superhero like

1675
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:27,080
Speaker 1: powers where when he would go jogging, street lights would

1676
01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:30,000
Speaker 1: go out as he would pass them. What is he

1677
01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:34,160
Speaker 1: like the flash? I'm telling you I want to laugh

1678
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:37,680
Speaker 1: at this stuff, But as somebody who has spent an

1679
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:41,880
Speaker 1: admirer of Kendice Owens's work and has actually been on

1680
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:45,280
Speaker 1: her show and has been in a documentary she produced

1681
01:45:45,320 --> 01:45:51,080
Speaker 1: on Steven Avery, this is starting to get to be

1682
01:45:51,160 --> 01:45:55,719
Speaker 1: pretty concerning that this has gone beyond the realm of

1683
01:45:56,600 --> 01:45:59,240
Speaker 1: funny stuff where we can all kind of sit and

1684
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:05,320
Speaker 1: stare and laugh that it's just getting a little well bizarre.

1685
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:09,840
Speaker 19: Bazon Holbazamalbazar.

1686
01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 1: All right, how about this one? Going in for a

1687
01:46:13,479 --> 01:46:15,960
Speaker 1: surgery it can be pretty scary. This is from the

1688
01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:19,760
Speaker 1: website dikstero dot com. Even if it's a routine operation,

1689
01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:23,120
Speaker 1: there can be a lot of sitting around waiting to

1690
01:46:23,120 --> 01:46:25,920
Speaker 1: be treated. Then you're in the post op stage of

1691
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:29,879
Speaker 1: recovery that could be tougher than anything else, and patients

1692
01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 1: waking up from surgery after they're pumped full of painkillers.

1693
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:35,519
Speaker 1: Has produced a number of viral videos in the past.

1694
01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:38,719
Speaker 1: Remember David after Dentists. That was one of the very

1695
01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:43,120
Speaker 1: earliest viral videos. People have started spilling all their secrets,

1696
01:46:43,200 --> 01:46:45,680
Speaker 1: made up things that simply haven't happened, like I don't

1697
01:46:45,720 --> 01:46:48,519
Speaker 1: know Charlie Kirk being a time traveler. In the case

1698
01:46:48,560 --> 01:46:52,960
Speaker 1: of Stephen Case, a father from Utah, he says he

1699
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 1: has woken up from surgeries all his life speaking fluent

1700
01:46:57,640 --> 01:47:02,000
Speaker 1: Spanish for a little bit, and he is one of

1701
01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:06,120
Speaker 1: about one hundred confirmed cases of this across the world.

1702
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:12,559
Speaker 1: Every time Case goes for surgery, he wakes up speaking Spanish,

1703
01:47:12,640 --> 01:47:15,719
Speaker 1: he tells Kennedy News and Media. Ever since I was nineteen,

1704
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:18,760
Speaker 1: I've woken up from surgery speaking Spanish. Every time the

1705
01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:21,320
Speaker 1: nurses say they ask me questions like how are you feeling?

1706
01:47:21,360 --> 01:47:23,400
Speaker 1: Am I in pain after waking up? And I answered

1707
01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:26,360
Speaker 1: the questions in Spanish. The father of three says he

1708
01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:29,000
Speaker 1: spoke Spanish at a very low level in high school,

1709
01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:32,960
Speaker 1: but that was years ago. Now he is fluent at

1710
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:37,280
Speaker 1: a native level, but only when he comes out of surgery.

1711
01:47:37,800 --> 01:47:40,400
Speaker 1: He noted that he frequently heard the language around him

1712
01:47:40,400 --> 01:47:41,960
Speaker 1: while growing up, he said, I spent a lot of

1713
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:44,400
Speaker 1: time at my best friend's house and his parents were

1714
01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:47,080
Speaker 1: always speaking Spanish. I never knew what anyone was saying,

1715
01:47:47,120 --> 01:47:50,800
Speaker 1: but I heard it all the time. This apparently is

1716
01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:55,599
Speaker 1: a uh phenomenon that can happen. It's known as foreign

1717
01:47:55,680 --> 01:47:59,560
Speaker 1: language syndrome, which sees people switch to another language or

1718
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:02,200
Speaker 1: accent for a period of time. This could be minutes

1719
01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:05,880
Speaker 1: or hours per case. It typically subsides within an hour.

1720
01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 1: He says. It's brought on by a number of factors,

1721
01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:13,280
Speaker 1: including brain injury, psychological stress, or after waking up for surgery.

1722
01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:15,840
Speaker 1: From surgery, he says, now I tell people that I

1723
01:48:15,920 --> 01:48:20,360
Speaker 1: tend to wake up speaking Spanish, so they are prepared.

1724
01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:24,040
Speaker 1: All right, ladies and gentlemen, This says, been your weekly

1725
01:48:24,040 --> 01:48:26,160
Speaker 1: look back at the strangest stories in the past seven days.

1726
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:26,960
Speaker 1: It's a segment we.

1727
01:48:26,960 --> 01:48:27,919
Speaker 13: Call a baz.

1728
01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:31,680
Speaker 3: Almaza albazar.

1729
01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:38,679
Speaker 1: If you are a better on things like future events

1730
01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:40,519
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing that you can now bet

1731
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:43,040
Speaker 1: on on Calshi and Polly Marka, this I think is

1732
01:48:43,280 --> 01:48:45,760
Speaker 1: worthy of a deeper dive when we have some more time.

1733
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:51,880
Speaker 1: Just how there was another big sports gambling bust in

1734
01:48:52,040 --> 01:48:55,679
Speaker 1: college basketball yesterday. I believe twenty people, including a number

1735
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 1: of different former college basketball players, indicted as part of

1736
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:04,240
Speaker 1: a gambling where they're looking to rig games. I think

1737
01:49:04,280 --> 01:49:07,800
Speaker 1: this is fundamentally transforming sports. But if you are a

1738
01:49:07,880 --> 01:49:11,800
Speaker 1: better I would bet the house on there being a

1739
01:49:11,880 --> 01:49:15,880
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball lockout after the twenty twenty sixth season.

1740
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:21,439
Speaker 1: It is almost a certainty. I think you could lock

1741
01:49:21,479 --> 01:49:24,599
Speaker 1: it in. Last night when word got out that the

1742
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:29,800
Speaker 1: top free agent in this year's free agency class, Kyle

1743
01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:34,479
Speaker 1: Tucker of the Chicago Cubs, signed with I don't even

1744
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:39,840
Speaker 1: need to tell you the Los Angeles Dodgers with the

1745
01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:42,800
Speaker 1: deferred money that is expected to be a part of

1746
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:46,479
Speaker 1: this contract. This is how the Dodgers do it. They

1747
01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:50,559
Speaker 1: basically do the old Bobby Bonia signing, where they'll be

1748
01:49:50,600 --> 01:49:53,400
Speaker 1: paying him long after he retires, and they defer the

1749
01:49:53,479 --> 01:49:56,640
Speaker 1: money so that they don't take as much of a

1750
01:49:56,640 --> 01:50:00,280
Speaker 1: big hit up front. They are on the hook. Are

1751
01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:07,000
Speaker 1: you ready for this? In salary two point one billion dollars?

1752
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:15,720
Speaker 1: With a b billion billion dollars they have if you

1753
01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:18,519
Speaker 1: go up and down their lineup now with Tucker in it,

1754
01:50:18,880 --> 01:50:21,160
Speaker 1: they've got by far the best player on earth. Sho

1755
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 1: Heeo tani Is, he won what three four straight MVPs.

1756
01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:30,439
Speaker 1: They've got Mookie Betts, They've got Freddy Freeman, They've got

1757
01:50:30,479 --> 01:50:35,840
Speaker 1: an All Star practically at every position. They've got I

1758
01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:40,960
Speaker 1: think easily the best starting rotation in Major League Baseball.

1759
01:50:41,640 --> 01:50:44,599
Speaker 1: There is talk that they've got a very good farm system.

1760
01:50:45,040 --> 01:50:48,120
Speaker 1: They might be able to trade for the al Cy

1761
01:50:48,200 --> 01:50:54,800
Speaker 1: Young winner Tarique Scubaal of the Detroit Tigers. What they've

1762
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:58,880
Speaker 1: won two straight World Series titles, and they get the

1763
01:50:58,920 --> 01:51:03,680
Speaker 1: best player available on the free agent market. I did

1764
01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:09,240
Speaker 1: not think that anything would ever get your average baseball

1765
01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:13,320
Speaker 1: fan to be on the side of the owners and

1766
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:17,840
Speaker 1: support a lockout of the players, typically in labor disputes.

1767
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:21,120
Speaker 1: The well, it's just there's kind of a left wing

1768
01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:24,560
Speaker 1: bias in sports media where you're presented with this information

1769
01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:27,600
Speaker 1: and they obviously will side with the players against the

1770
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:30,639
Speaker 1: owners when it's millionaires against billionaires. Although we're getting close

1771
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:35,519
Speaker 1: to many many pro sports athletes being billionaires by the

1772
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:39,160
Speaker 1: time they wrap up their playing career. Yeah, I know,

1773
01:51:39,600 --> 01:51:44,479
Speaker 1: Lebron James I think is a billionaire right now. I'm

1774
01:51:44,479 --> 01:51:47,800
Speaker 1: trying to think who else. I'm sure Messi Ronaldo, those

1775
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:49,559
Speaker 1: guys are They've got to be in any of it.

1776
01:51:49,640 --> 01:51:55,759
Speaker 1: In any of it. The LA Dodgers are so bad

1777
01:51:55,880 --> 01:52:01,479
Speaker 1: for baseball that I think they're pushing fan to say, Yeah,

1778
01:52:01,560 --> 01:52:05,839
Speaker 1: we need a lockout. We cannot continue to We need

1779
01:52:05,920 --> 01:52:08,880
Speaker 1: a salary cap. The players Union, of course, has been

1780
01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:13,320
Speaker 1: famously against the salary cap for very obvious reasons, because

1781
01:52:13,320 --> 01:52:16,160
Speaker 1: they want billionaire players. I can't say I blame them

1782
01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:22,439
Speaker 1: at all, but this is unsustainable. You actually had the

1783
01:52:22,479 --> 01:52:26,680
Speaker 1: Dodgers keeping pitchers on the shelf for much of the

1784
01:52:26,720 --> 01:52:29,880
Speaker 1: regular season last year because they knew they were so

1785
01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:33,600
Speaker 1: good that they would make the playoffs pretty much regardless.

1786
01:52:33,920 --> 01:52:36,000
Speaker 1: And then they had a rotation. They had guys in

1787
01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:39,479
Speaker 1: the bullpen who were completely fresh because they had missed

1788
01:52:39,560 --> 01:52:41,600
Speaker 1: so much of the regular season. They didn't have the

1789
01:52:41,640 --> 01:52:45,600
Speaker 1: wear and tear on their arms for that many innings.

1790
01:52:47,960 --> 01:52:51,320
Speaker 1: Something has got to give, and I think it is

1791
01:52:51,400 --> 01:52:55,400
Speaker 1: going to be the very real possibility that the twenty

1792
01:52:55,479 --> 01:53:00,000
Speaker 1: twenty seven Major League Baseball season does not happen because

1793
01:53:01,320 --> 01:53:06,519
Speaker 1: the rest of the league just revolts and says, Look,

1794
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:10,880
Speaker 1: I get that the Dodgers commit a good portion of

1795
01:53:10,920 --> 01:53:15,599
Speaker 1: their revenue base to salary, and I believe it or not, Folks,

1796
01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:18,559
Speaker 1: I don't fault them for doing what they're doing. If

1797
01:53:18,600 --> 01:53:21,439
Speaker 1: you have the ability to just buy championships, why the

1798
01:53:21,479 --> 01:53:25,640
Speaker 1: hell wouldn't you. I wish we here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

1799
01:53:25,680 --> 01:53:28,439
Speaker 1: and Green Bay, Wisconsin would just be able to buy

1800
01:53:28,520 --> 01:53:32,519
Speaker 1: championships a year after year after year. That would be fantastic. Frankly,

1801
01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm not one of those Oh it's sweeter and it's

1802
01:53:36,920 --> 01:53:39,000
Speaker 1: more fun when you earn it the old factor.

1803
01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:39,360
Speaker 10: Nah.

1804
01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:43,559
Speaker 1: Nah, get Kyle Tucker on the Brewers, get show, Hey

1805
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,040
Speaker 1: o Todi, sign them all. I don't care win a

1806
01:53:46,080 --> 01:53:51,559
Speaker 1: World Series, win ten World Series. It's great. So I

1807
01:53:51,560 --> 01:53:55,120
Speaker 1: don't fault the Dodgers at all. I'm saying the economics

1808
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:59,720
Speaker 1: of baseball, this system in which they operate, needs dramatic

1809
01:54:00,680 --> 01:54:04,719
Speaker 1: because when you go in with maybe one or two

1810
01:54:04,760 --> 01:54:07,519
Speaker 1: teams having a realistic shot at the World Series, that's

1811
01:54:07,600 --> 01:54:11,320
Speaker 1: just a terrible, terrible look. There is, of course, an

1812
01:54:11,360 --> 01:54:16,280
Speaker 1: obvious solution to the problem of the La Dodgers just

1813
01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:20,719
Speaker 1: being able to buy championships year after year after year. Yes,

1814
01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:24,519
Speaker 1: there is, folks, the possibility that the Dodgers don't win

1815
01:54:24,560 --> 01:54:27,760
Speaker 1: the World Series, although I think it's remote after they

1816
01:54:27,840 --> 01:54:30,840
Speaker 1: signed Kyle Tucker, the top free agent on the market,

1817
01:54:30,920 --> 01:54:33,520
Speaker 1: late of the Chicago Cubs. There is a solution, though,

1818
01:54:33,560 --> 01:54:35,560
Speaker 1: as one of our listeners pointed out on the advt

1819
01:54:35,640 --> 01:54:39,360
Speaker 1: noos dot com talk and text line. Just convince Elon

1820
01:54:39,480 --> 01:54:43,360
Speaker 1: Musk to buy the Brewers. I saw his net worth

1821
01:54:43,560 --> 01:54:47,839
Speaker 1: floating around. It's something like seven hundred and fifty billion dollars.

1822
01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:52,920
Speaker 1: That is almost I can't even fathom that amount of money.

1823
01:54:52,920 --> 01:54:57,160
Speaker 1: Have a wonderful weekend, Wisconsin. We are back Monday afternoon

1824
01:54:57,280 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 1: right here on the Dan O'Donnells Show.
