Speaker 1: seven Days. We put that on hiatus for a couple

44
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: of weeks because of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Just

45
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: didn't think it was totally appropriate to be doing funny,

46
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: silly stories. I'll tell you the story that has just

47
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: taken the most bizarre turn of all has to be

48
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: this illegal alien superintendent in Des Moines, Iowa. That part

49
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: of How Bizarre and much much more first exclusive of

50
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: the day, State Senator Tim Carpenter has been booted off,

51
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: effective immediately, the Committee on Licensing, Regulatory Reform and State

52
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: and Federal Affairs after an incident in the last committee

53
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: hearing two weeks ago on September eighteenth, shortly after Charlie

54
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: Kirk's assassination, where Carpenter got incredibly enraged at the committee's chairman,

55
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: State Senator Chris Kappinga, a Republican, and attempted to rip

56
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: the gavel right out of Cappinga's hands as Kappinga was

57
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: banging it to try to get Carpenter to be quiet.

58
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: Why do you have this bill?

59
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: Is about illegals that was trying on of his house.

60
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: That's what I'm talking about.

61
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: This about this issue.

62
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: Have a specific have a public heard their specific bill.

63
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: You can ask it, but I'm not going to sit

64
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: here and allow things outside of the bill.

65
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: That's my job and I'm going to do my dress.

66
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: After that, Carpenter got increasingly agitated and started screaming at

67
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: fellow committee member Van Wanguard, another Senate Republican, as well

68
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: as Kapinga, and for the last three or four minutes

69
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: of the committee's hearing, he was just screaming at the

70
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: two of them while getting right in Kapinga's face. Was

71
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: something and if we.

72
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: Are not going to have it, I don't care who

73
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: will understand we have warning on legislation that's gonna There

74
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 3: are hundreds of thousands of equal and you're ignorant, and

75
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 3: you don't want to be a drums on there out

76
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: of line.

77
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: And you're pushing you know you are pushing thing.

78
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 4: You're out of line.

79
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: I can do whatever I want. You have no un

80
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: Yes I can't.

81
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 5: No.

82
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: I have free speed, I have free speech, I have

83
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: free speech. He was still going at it. When the

84
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: WISSI dot Org cameras cut out still screaming in Kappinga's face,

85
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: that was actually one of the points where he had

86
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: calmed down just a little bit. Carpenter is well known

87
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: as being one of the biggest hotheads and frankly one

88
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: of the most out there members of the Wisconsin State Senate.

89
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: Now he has been replaced Kappinga, the chairman of the

90
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: committee went to the Senate majority leader and said, look,

91
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: I want this member off. What would have happened? I

92
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: wonder if Carpenter had grabbed the gavel out of Kappinga's hands,

93
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: would he have used it to hit him? Seriously that,

94
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: given Tim Carpenter's past, I'll bet you Tim Carpenter wishes

95
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: he would have had the gabble as a weapon to

96
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: defend himself from the two hose beasts who beat the

97
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: holy hell out of him outside of the riot outside

98
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Capital in twenty twenty for George Floyd. You

99
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: might remember that one those two women, and I use

100
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: that term loosely, were actually acquitted in a trial against

101
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: cap and gug or excuse me, Carpenter. Carpenter's assailants were

102
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: let off the hook by a Madison jury. Carpenter was

103
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: left bleeding in the grass as the mob of sconded

104
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: with a number of statues outside of the capital, including

105
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: ironically enough, one of the state's most prominent abolitionists as

106
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: they were fighting against the treatment of black Americans in

107
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. So Tim Carpenter is off this committee, effective immediately,

108
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: and according to the rules of the State Senate, all

109
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: it takes is a committee chairman to request that the

110
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: member be removed. Now Kapinga apparently went to Senate leadership

111
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: and said, I want Tim Carpenter off of this committee.

112
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: I honestly can't blame him, and if it were me,

113
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: I would have done so much earlier. So Carpenter was removed,

114
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: and now Dora Drake, Democrat State Senator, takes his place.

115
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: How will Carpenter respond to this? Is he going to

116
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: go ballistic and is he going to not accept his

117
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: removal That could actually lead to further sanctions from the

118
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: State Senate. But hopefully going in time out and losing

119
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: his committee will be enough punishment for him. Now was

120
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: it that set off Tim Carpenter to the point where

121
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: he's reaching across the table and by the way. We

122
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: actually do have the video of him attempting to snatch

123
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: the gavel out of Kappingo's hands up at Dan o'donald's

124
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: show on x as well as Facebook dot com slash

125
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: dan o'donald show. It is an exclusive story that Carpenter

126
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: has now been kicked off of this committee. But what

127
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: got him so ticked off to begin with it was

128
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: a story that we reported on exclusively on the afternoon

129
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: that had happened. I'm going to take you back to

130
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: September eighteenth. State Senator Chris Larson, like Tim Carpenter, senator

131
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: from Milwaukee, lied just openly lied about the death of

132
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: a teacher's aide, Yes, Senia Ruano, who you might remember

133
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: was the illegal alien who was fighting her deportation. Larson

134
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: just sort of made up a story about how Ruano

135
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: died because she couldn't get life saving medicine that she

136
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: needed because she was in ice custom.

137
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 6: I think of the role that displayed in the woman

138
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 6: in my district who is a teacher's aide, who is

139
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 6: here legal status, to be clear, legal status, she had

140
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 6: her legal residency and the President said no longer, we

141
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 6: do not want you here anymore. And so they started

142
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 6: to revoke that even though she was here legally, and

143
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 6: because of that she was not able to get medicine.

144
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 6: Can she die?

145
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 3: She's dead?

146
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert. She is most definitely not dead, at least

147
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: as of the last wellness check that we did on her,

148
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: in which a journalist who has been following her. She

149
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 1: has been deported to El Salvador, where she is now

150
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: living with her two little girl earls. That's her country

151
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: of origin. She is very much alive, at least she

152
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: was as of September eighteenth when we checked in just

153
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: to have a proof of life. And even if she

154
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: had passed away, she was deported, or rather she self

155
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: deported because she knew that she was eventually going to

156
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: be deported the administrative she did not get the rule,

157
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: she was not allowed to stay, and she self deported

158
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: in early to mid June. Suffice it to say that

159
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: she did not die. First of all, she's not dead.

160
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: But if she had died at some point in Al Salvador,

161
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: it was not because she couldn't get medicine in Milwaukee,

162
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: because she was sitting in ice custody. Chris Larson just

163
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: told a bold faced lie, and that lie had consequences.

164
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: The most immediate consequence is that it got his fellow

165
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: Senator Tim Carpenter so gassed up that he practically attacked

166
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: the committee's chair, Kapaga, trying to rip the gavel right

167
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: out of his hand. Did he intend to beat him

168
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: with it? Probably not, but honest to goodness, who knows.

169
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: This was just eight days after Charlie Kirk's assassination. Liberals

170
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: were all full of you know what and vinegar, all

171
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: hyped up and I don't know, had a weird bloodlust

172
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: as hundreds of thousands of them were practically giddy over

173
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: the fact that a prominent conservative had just been shot

174
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: through the neck in front of a crowd. It had

175
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: a real consequence of costing Tim Carpenter his committee seat,

176
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: because had Carpenter not believed this lie and not gotten

177
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: himself into such an agitated state, it's entirely likely that

178
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: he would still be sitting on this committee today. But

179
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: we can now report exclusively he has been booted off

180
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: and could be subject to further censure or other forms

181
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: of punishment if he doesn't go quietly into the good

182
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: night and accept the current punishment for his misbehavior. When

183
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: we come back in just a second. Some good news

184
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: to report about the Turning Point USA chapter in Concordia

185
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: which was being stonewalled for quite some time, But some

186
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: bad news about another Turning Point chapter that is facing

187
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: the exact same issue at another college in Wisconsin. We

188
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: will report on that. It's another exclusive story here on

189
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell show shoe. We told you the story

190
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: of the Turning Point USA chapter president at Concordia University

191
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: who is being stonewalled by the school which would not

192
00:12:53,880 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: recognize his chapter as an official student organization unless he

193
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: personally denounced Professor Watch or the Professor List. This is

194
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: something that Turning Point does that allows conservative students to

195
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: know who the far left radical professors are who might

196
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: single out students because of their political views and might

197
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: actually punish them for them. We reported on this. This

198
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: went just absolutely megaviral over the last couple of days,

199
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: and Concordia did the right thing. It caved. It said, hey,

200
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: we understand that this was wrong. We recognize that we

201
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: were wrong to do this. Jacob Turner, the Turning Point

202
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: Concordia University chapter president, actually tweeted at me saying, thank

203
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: you for sharing our story. Dan it means a lot

204
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: to have your support. I'm happy to announce that we

205
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: have officially been approved as a chapter, and then he

206
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: shared a link to his post on x Yesterday, I

207
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 1: shared that the Turning Point chapter I run at Concordia University,

208
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: Wisconsin was denied recognition because I refused to denounce the

209
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: professor watch list. I didn't expect the tweet to gain

210
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: much traction, but it turns out there's a real fire

211
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: in people to defend the right to organize and to

212
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: help fulfill Charlie's vision of a TPUSA chapter on every

213
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: campus in America. I'm thrilled to announce that less than

214
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: twenty four hours later, our chapter has officially been approved

215
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: as a registered student organization. We're now ready to get

216
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: to work immediately on registering voters, standing for dialogue, and

217
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: carrying forward the mission of truth on campus. Huge thank

218
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: you to Congressman Derek Van Orden for stepping in on

219
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: such short notice to help, and to everyone who showed

220
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: their for me on behalf of the Turning Point USA

221
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: at Concordia University, Wisconsin. I would love to extend an

222
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: open invite to Derek Van Orden to join us anytime

223
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: you feel. Also a huge shout out to Elon Musk

224
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: for helping to get the word out. The power of

225
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: the revival is real. Elon Musk actually posted or reposted

226
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: Jacob's post and this drew massive attention to his plight.

227
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: So allswell that ends well at Concordia University. I can

228
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: report exclusively that almost the exact same scenario has been

229
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: unfolding at the Milwaukee School of Engineering or MSOE for

230
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: more than a year. The president of Turning Point USA

231
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: at MSOE has been trying to get the student life organization,

232
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: the Department of Student Life basically you know, resident life,

233
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: student life, whatever, to recognize the Turning Point Chapter. So

234
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: if you go to the Turning Point USA website, you'll

235
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: see that there is an official chapter at MSOE, just

236
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: as there was an official chapter at Concordia University. However,

237
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: the university would not acknowledge this as an official student organization.

238
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: The reason given is that they would not denounce the

239
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: professor watch list. Clearly, this has struck a bit of

240
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: a nerve with academia. Now, I can tell you that

241
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: whenever there is a list like this that's generated, there

242
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: are always mistakes, and there was at least one professor

243
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: at Concordia University who was asking Jacob in his mentions

244
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: on social media, hey, can you please take me off

245
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: this list? I am not a communist. I am not

246
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: a radical left winger who punishes conservatives. I was put

247
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: on this list most likely because of a student who

248
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: wasn't happy about a grade they received or something like that.

249
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: There is always the potential for abuse of this list

250
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: and professor watch list. In researching the Concordia University topic

251
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 1: and incident, I can tell you is despised among the

252
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: professorial class because it's yet another thing. There's a I

253
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: believe prof Watch or something like that that rate my profit,

254
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: ratemprofit that was it, ratemyprof dot org that's been going

255
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: on forever where people will just go on and they'll

256
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: talk about their experiences with a given professor. To that,

257
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: I would say, if you're a good teacher, if you're flexible,

258
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: if you're accommodating, if you're tough but fair, if you're engaging,

259
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: you've got nothing to worry about. In other words, if

260
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: you're a good professor, you'll get good reviews from your students.

261
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: Students generally speaking, are pretty powerless against their professors, against

262
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: their tas, against the universities administrators. This is sort of

263
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: the way that they can even the score. I don't

264
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: recall many businesses complaining about the fact that yelp exists. Obviously,

265
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: they complain if they get bad Yelp reviews, and you'll

266
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: see them contest said reviews or respond to those reviews

267
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: if they feel that they're unfair or unwarranted. I don't

268
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: see why university professors should be any different. But what

269
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: I can tell you is that in the wake of

270
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk's assassination, there was a renewed vigor to get

271
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: a Turning Point USA chapter formally recognized on Msoe's campus.

272
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: The Student Life department that is in charge of recognizing

273
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: student organizations making that decision whether or not to grant

274
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: a charter to a given student organization student led organization,

275
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: they denied it. Yet again, they are refusing to recognize

276
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: the Turning Point Chapter, and just like with Concordia University,

277
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: they're using the professor watch list as the excuse. Now

278
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: this is not gotten nearly the attention that Concordia University

279
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 1: has gotten, but It's somewhat of a surprise because MSOE

280
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: is sort of well known as being far left far

281
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: less left wing is it is not the bastion of

282
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: liberalism that say, the University of Wisconsin and Madison is.

283
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: And it's actually like Concordia University, which is a product of,

284
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: as I learned yesterday or confirmed yesterday, the Missouri Lutheran Synod,

285
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: which is a more conservative strain of Lutheranism. It's somewhat

286
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: surprising that MSOE would not allow a student organization dedicated

287
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: to conservatism on campus, especially since this is by far

288
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: the biggest campus conservative organization. And this got me wondering,

289
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: because obviously I was made aware of this after doing

290
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: the Concordia University story. I wonder just how many schools,

291
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: both colleges and high schools are having similar issues getting

292
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: Turning Point USA chapters started, because I know, since we're

293
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: a little more than three weeks removed from Charlie's assassination,

294
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: there has been a massive interest, as Jacob Turner put it,

295
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: the revival in Turning Point and conservatism, the sort of

296
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: great awakening of young conservatives who have just been angered

297
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,239
Speaker 1: and also saddened and motivated by Charlie Kirk's death, and

298
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: one of the ways that they have been trying to

299
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: carry on Charlie's legacy, the way that they have been

300
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: trying to do something for the movement to try to

301
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: pick up where Charlie, unfortunately and tragically left off, is

302
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: by starting these chapters. And there have been applications. Charlie's vision.

303
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: Charlie's dream was to have a Turning Point chapter at

304
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: every high school and every college in the United States.

305
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: And because of people like Jacob Turner and because of

306
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: the people who want to do this at m SOE,

307
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: there's a very good chance that it could happen. But

308
00:21:55,080 --> 00:22:00,120
Speaker 1: because of bureaucrats at these schools that are standing in

309
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: the way of that and throwing up the barrier that

310
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, Turning Point USA, the national organization has

311
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: a website that allows students to say, Hey, avoid this teacher.

312
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: He is a radical left winger, and if you're an

313
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: open conservative on campus, you might be punished either with

314
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: your grade or you might be singled out for embarrassment

315
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: or something like that. Hey, would you believe The Dan

316
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: O'Donnell Show has yet another exclusive story. It's a bit

317
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: of a follow up to the one we told you

318
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: about yesterday at Middleton High School, where a teacher there

319
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: was forcing students to publicly declare their political ideology. It's

320
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: a fun little follow up next in case you're wondering

321
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: what the YouTube chat looks like from people watching on

322
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: the danocam, they are currently debating whether or not I

323
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: should put my own bubble head out, just like Belling

324
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 1: did years ago, because of how much my head moves

325
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: around when I talk ladies and gentlemen. These are my listeners.

326
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: My producer is absolutely bobbing his head while laughing hysterically

327
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: in there because he knows exactly what these folks are

328
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: talking about. It's sort of an old radio trick. To

329
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: sort of add emphasis, you kind of have to move

330
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: your whole body. It's a unique way of broadcasting, and

331
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of I'm still trying to find the right

332
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: balance because with TV you have to be very still

333
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: and very stilted to look good on camera. But with radio,

334
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: since you only have your voice to convey emotion and that,

335
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: people tend to be way more animated. Plus I'm half Italian,

336
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: so you know I'm going to be talking with my hands.

337
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to be very expressive. Yesterday we told you

338
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: the story first broken by my good friend and colleague

339
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: Vicky McKenna on her show about the Middleton High School

340
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: teacher who assigned his US Government classes to either take

341
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: a red, blue, or purple post it, write their names

342
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: on it and some of the top issues that they

343
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: care about, and then staple it to a big board

344
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: outside of the classroom in the middle of a hallway

345
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 1: at Middleton High School, where everybody could see their political affiliation. Obviously,

346
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: red was if they self identified as a Republican, blue

347
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: if they self identified as a Democrat, Purple if they

348
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: were somewhere in the middle. And the bulletin board was

349
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: an X Y access It was sort of a line

350
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: chart of where you are politically, and on the X axis,

351
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: the horizontal line, it was socially liberal to socially conservative.

352
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: On the Y axis, the vertical line, it was socially

353
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: conservative to socially liberal, and everybody was pretty much grouped

354
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: sort of in the middle. The kids with the blue

355
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: stickers were off to the left, and there were far

356
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: fewer kids with red stickers. This assignment generated a massive

357
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: amount of controversy. Moms for Liberty picked it up. I

358
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: just saw Rob Schneider, the conservative comedian and actor, tweet

359
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: about it, saying he's going to be in Wisconsin this weekend.

360
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: What is the deal with this sort of scarlet letter

361
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: branding on conservative kids? Because the student who contacted a

362
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: rather a relative of the student who contacted both Vicki

363
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: and I said she overheard one of her classmates or

364
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: another student at the high school point to all the

365
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: kids with the red note cards on the big public

366
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: bulletin board and say those are the Nazis. Obviously this

367
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: is something of an issue. I have not heard a

368
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: follow up whether this bulletin board has been taken down,

369
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: whether the teacher has faced any sort of consequence for

370
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: making students very publicly reveal their political affiliation. But I

371
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: did notice, and we had some fun yesterday with one

372
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: student who very proudly put his name on a red

373
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,719
Speaker 1: note card or post it note and put it all

374
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: the way to the far right, as far on the

375
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: socially conservative and as far on the fiscally conservative spectrum

376
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: as he possibly could. And I laughed and said, who

377
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: is this based God, I want him to be my friend. Well,

378
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: I just was contacted by the head of Turning Point, Wisconsin,

379
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: Brett Galashevski, who said that they were able to make

380
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: contact with this student, that they actually figured out who

381
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: this was, or rather the student reached out to them,

382
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 1: and he is going to be joining Turning Point USA.

383
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: So a happy end to that story. We are hearing

384
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: breaking news from Fox News that a judge is handing

385
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: down the sentence in the Diddy case. Producer, Jeff, have

386
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: we heard what Diddy is going to be doing? Four

387
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: years and two months in prison? Wow? Can we go

388
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: to the reporter on this scene? This is a Fox

389
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: News reporter outside the federal courtroom where Didty aka p

390
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: Didty aka Puff Daddy aka Sean Combs aka the Diddler

391
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: has just been sentenced to four years and two months

392
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: in federal prison.

393
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 7: Was once at the height of the music industry, has

394
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 7: now been sentenced to four years behind bars. The judge

395
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 7: said that any of Ditty's past good works could not

396
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 7: overstate the record in this case. The witness testimony from

397
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 7: women who said they had to endure years of physical

398
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 7: and emotional abuse at the hands of the rapper. Well,

399
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 7: I want to send it back over to you.

400
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: That is the Will Caine Show. The reporter there P

401
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: Ditty has just been sentenced in a sex case where

402
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: he could have gotten decades and decades and decades behind bars,

403
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: but he was not convicted on the more serious charges

404
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: against him. I'll tell you what. Let's take a quick break.

405
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: We will try to get the latest on this, as

406
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: well as the other breaking news story about Hamas supposedly

407
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: releasing the hostages, also unhinge liberal. Next, what do I

408
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: always tell you, ladies and gentlemen, you always need well,

409
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: first of all, you always need to listen to the

410
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: Dan o'donald show, but you always need to listen to

411
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: this show every single second on Friday afternoon because Friday

412
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: afternoon is always when big news breaks. What do I

413
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: also say? What do I also say? You will always

414
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: get jury verdicts or you will get big court happenings

415
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: on Fridays, primarily because nobody involved. I don't know much

416
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: about the legal system. I am twenty some years removed

417
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: from law school, actually nineteen. I graduated in two thousand

418
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: and six from UW Madison Law. I didn't practice. I

419
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: always thought that I would go practice once I got

420
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: fired as a broadcaster. And sorry, libs, I haven't been

421
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: fired at least not yet. Knock on wood. I do

422
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: know that they all want to get out there and

423
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: enjoy the weekend. Sean Ditty Combs, just a couple of

424
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: minutes ago, was sentenced in federal court to four months,

425
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: four years and two months in prison after he was

426
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: convicted of transporting women to participate in drug fueled sex marathons.

427
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: That is an interesting way to put it. From Bloomberg News,

428
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: drug fueled sex marathons. I think I could have gone

429
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: my entire life without thinking about P Diddy in a

430
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: drug fueled sex marathon. He's also isn't He also like

431
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: sixty years old? How long was this se marathon?

432
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 7: Like?

433
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: Eight minutes? Combs fake faced a maximum of twenty years

434
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 1: in prison. In July, a jury found him guilty on

435
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution related to

436
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura and a victim who testified

437
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: under the pseudonym Jane. Each cow carries a maximum penalty

438
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: of ten years in prison, but Combs was acquitted of

439
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking by force,

440
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: fraud or coercion, which could have landed him in prison.

441
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: For the rest of his life. Federal prosecutors asked Judge

442
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Subramanian to sentence Combs to more than eleven years

443
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: in prison or no less than one hundred and thirty

444
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: five months, as well as imposed the maximum fine of

445
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars, arguing that Combs had shown no

446
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: remorse and that his sentence should reflect the substantial psychological, emotional,

447
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: and physical damage he's inflicted on his victims. But the

448
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: defense sought a sentence of no more than fourteen months

449
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: in prison, including the time Combs had already served since

450
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: his September twenty twenty four arrest. His lawyers argued that

451
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: his legacy has been destroyed and that he had been

452
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: punished enough. Well, I would think that you know the

453
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: punishment is going to prison, But what do I know?

454
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: The judge agreed more with the defense than it did

455
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: with the prosecution four years two months in prison. We

456
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: are also following developing news first reported by Reuters. Hamas

457
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: has apparently agreed to release all of its Israeli hostages,

458
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: dead or alive, and it expressed a willingness to negotiate

459
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: through mediators on President Trump's plan for peace in the

460
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: Middle East, in a statement that has now been reproduced

461
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: by multiple news or organizations. The group quote affirms its

462
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: readiness to immediately enter into negotiations through mediators to discuss

463
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: the details of this agreement. The movement also renews its

464
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: agreement to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip

465
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: to a Palestinian body of independence technocrats based on Palestinian

466
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: national consensus and Arab and Islamic support. President Trump announced

467
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: the twenty point Plan for Peace alongside Israeli Prime Minister

468
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: Benjamin Nett Yahoo at the White House on Monday. All right,

469
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: now you are caught up on all the developing and

470
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: breaking news from just this hour. Let's have a little fun,

471
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: shall we? Time to name the unhinged liberal of.

472
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 3: The DA.

473
00:33:53,480 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: Nazi Germany. Tough is dangerous because he's evil.

474
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 4: America over.

475
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: Every so often you get someone on the left say

476
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: succinctly and very loudly, what it is that sort of

477
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: underpins the entire liberal worldview. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrel just

478
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: did that. He was at an event where he was

479
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: talking about crime policy. And as you could imagine, Harold

480
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: is a far left democrat. You pretty much have to

481
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: be to be elected to anything in Seattle or much

482
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: of Washington State. And he said, even if someone commits

483
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: and I quote six or seven crimes, he still has

484
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: no interest in throwing him in jail.

485
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 5: The criminal system has had a desparate impact on black

486
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 5: and brown communities.

487
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: Let me lead with that.

488
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 5: So when this person's committing six or seven crime, I

489
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 5: don't know his or her story. Maybe they were abused

490
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 5: as a child, maybe they're hungry.

491
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: So my.

492
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 5: Remedy is to find their life story to see how

493
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 5: we can help. First, I have no desire to put

494
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 5: them in jail.

495
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, they really do believe that. I guess we should

496
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: thank Mayor Harold for saying the quiet part out loud.

497
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: That said, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harold, your unhinged liberal of

498
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: the day. That is the fundamental problem with the political

499
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: left on crime. They truly believe that because someone is

500
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: out there committing six or seven crimes, it must somehow

501
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: be society's fault. We need to know their story to

502
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: know how broader American culture let them down, how maybe

503
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: the America and government didn't give them enough social services.

504
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: Mayor Harra wants to know their story. Oh, I know

505
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: the person who's committed six or seven crime story. It's

506
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: pretty well outlined in all of the criminal charges against them.

507
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,279
Speaker 1: I think I can get a pretty good idea of

508
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 1: their story on the number of arrest warrants that they

509
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: rack up. But this is the fundamental problem with and

510
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: I think what the American people are finally waking up

511
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: to and rejecting in big numbers, the left wing worldview

512
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: on crime that there is no individual responsibility, that we

513
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: need to get to know the criminal and get to

514
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: know what their story is. Because if there's one thing

515
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: I know about somebody who is committing six or seven crimes,

516
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: it's never their fault. You see it. First of all,

517
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: they never did anything. They always have someone to blame

518
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 1: or something to blame. And liberals have a tendency, it's

519
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: a rather suicidal tendency. If you ask me to believe

520
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 1: wholesale what it is the worst people in society are

521
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: trying to tell them and to instead of imposing consequences

522
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,959
Speaker 1: on the individual who is victimizing other people, to rather

523
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: put the blame on society as a whole, so that

524
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: we can then fund whatever social justice or welfare program

525
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: said liberal believes would eventually lead to people committing fewer

526
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 1: crimes while denying the possibility that there are just people

527
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: out there who commit crimes, who will victimize others and

528
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: will to continue to do so until such time that society,

529
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: in the form of police officers, prosecutors, and judges, stops them.

530
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: Daily Trump date coming up next, plus an interview with

531
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald on the status of the shutdown.

532
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Dan o'donald show. This is why

533
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: I love Friday afternoons here on the Dan o'donald's show,

534
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: but simultaneously hate them. Look, folks, think about yourself in

535
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: the office on a Friday afternoon. If you're actually in

536
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: the office on a Friday afternoon and not out at

537
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: the golf course, I see you, Johnson, I know what

538
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: you're doing. You will have those files on my desk

539
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 1: Monday morning, or you're fired. We cannot lose the Higgins

540
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: account because you snuck off early to play a quick nine. Look,

541
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: I want to just kind of ease into the weekend.

542
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Brewers now playing the

543
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: Cubs ug for the right to go to the National

544
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: League Championship Series. I want to do the fun silly,

545
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: strange stories of the week, how bizarre, which we will

546
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: do in the five o'clock I don't want to have

547
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: to do all the heavy lifting of breaking a whole

548
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: bunch of exclusive stories as well as reporting on major

549
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:13,760
Speaker 1: national news. But your humble host will work straight through

550
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: to six oh one if need be, not a minute more,

551
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: not a minute less. Who am I kidding? I'm probably

552
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: going to try to knock go off early if I can. Producer, Jeff,

553
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: you co host the Brewers postgame show on ninety seven three.

554
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: You want to do the five o'clock hour and just

555
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:38,919
Speaker 1: talk Brewers, Okay, Boom, the gig is yours. I'll meet

556
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: you on the ninth hole. Well, we'll grab a nineteenth

557
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: total drink Johnson. But you still owe me those Higgins

558
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: Report files in case you missed it, a couple of

559
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: big exclusive stories here on the Dan O'Donnells Show. First

560
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 1: State Senator Tim Carpenter has been removed from the Senate

561
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: Committee on Licensing and Federal and State Affairs after an

562
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: outburst two weeks ago in which he attempted to grab

563
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: the gavel from the committee's Republican chairman, Chris Kapinga. We've

564
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: got the video of that up at Dan O'Donnell's show

565
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: on X on Facebook, on Instagram, basically wherever you can

566
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: find us on social media, we have that story up there.

567
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: We also broke this story of MSOE the Milwaukee School

568
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 1: of Engineering in downtown Milwaukee for the better part of

569
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: a year stonewalling the president of the school's chapter of

570
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: Turning Point USA by refusing to officially recognize the Turning

571
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: Point Chapter as a student organization unless the group publicly

572
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: denounces the Professor watch List, which identifies radical left wing professors.

573
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: It's a Turning Point service that they provide for their

574
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: conservative students. And this was the exact same thing thing

575
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,360
Speaker 1: that led to the long term stonewalling of the Turning

576
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: Point USA chapter at Concordia University being recognized.

577
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 4: Well.

578
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: The president of that chapter had a tweet go viral.

579
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: Even Elon Musk responded to it. Congressman Derek Van Orden

580
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: said he would get involved. We did the story, and

581
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,280
Speaker 1: Concordia said, yes, we are going to recognize this chapter.

582
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: Hopefully MSOE does the same thing without forcing the organizers,

583
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,479
Speaker 1: who since Charlie's assassination have redoubled their efforts to try

584
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 1: to get a Turning Point chapter on Msoe's campus. Turning

585
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: Point is a conservative organization, and the professor watch list

586
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: is something that no professor should have to worry about

587
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: if they are fair to all students, regardless of their

588
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: political affiliation. We also had the news break just a

589
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: couple of minutes ago that the Diddler will be spending

590
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: four years and two months in federal prison as he

591
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: was just sentenced. And we just had Hamas tentatively agree

592
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: to release the Israeli hostages. Let's get to that and

593
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: more in your daily look back at all things going

594
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 1: on at the White House today. It's your daily Trump Day.

595
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 4: We're gonna win so much you may even get tired

596
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 4: of winning.

597
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: Comp just keeps waiting. It is a win for the administration.

598
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 5: It's also a big win for the United States.

599
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: We have to keep winning. We have to win more.

600
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: We're gonna win more. Day three of the federal government

601
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: shut down. The United States Senate today voting on the

602
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 1: Democrat continuing Resolution that went down to defeat.

603
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 2: On this vote, the Ya's a forty six, the nasar

604
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 2: fifty two, three fifths of the Senate turms duly chosen

605
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 2: and for not having voted in the affirmative the motion

606
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: upon recon consideration is not agreed.

607
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: To, that means that they will be back to the

608
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 1: drawing board on this. Republicans in the House have already

609
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: passed what's known as a clean CR or a continuing

610
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: resolution that simply funds the government at current levels, adjusted

611
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: for inflation, for the next month and a half or so.

612
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: The CR that Democrats have rejected over and over and

613
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 1: over again filibustering it in the Senate would run through

614
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: November twenty first, just shy of Thanksgiving. And you've heard

615
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: me talk about the fact that all sorts of news

616
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: breaks on Friday afternoons because people want to get home

617
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: to their families. So you always get jury verdicts, especially

618
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: on Friday afternoons. You always have continuing resolutions or debt

619
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: limit deadlines right before holidays like Thanksgiving or the fourth

620
00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 1: of July or Christmas, because that puts pressure on me

621
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: to vote for things that they wouldn't otherwise vote for.

622
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: And that's where you get a whole lot of pork

623
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: barrel spending. Republicans are every bit as guilty of this

624
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: ridiculous tactic as Democrats, So our White House Press Secretary

625
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt today said the big sticking point continues to

626
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: be healthcare for illegal aliens.

627
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,800
Speaker 8: Our position is that it's completely unacceptable that the Biden

628
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 8: administration parolled and encouraged an invasion of tens of millions

629
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 8: of illegal aliens into our country and then promised them

630
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 8: free healthcare. And the Democrats are on the record repeatedly

631
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 8: stating that they believe illegal aliens should have health care benefits,

632
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 8: free healthcare benefits in the United States of America. So

633
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 8: that is a recipe for a disaster. Of course, you're

634
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 8: going to encourage a mass illegal invasion of our country,

635
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 8: which is exactly what happened now.

636
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: President Trump yesterday met with the Office of Management and

637
00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: Budget Director Russ Vote to talk about the possibility of

638
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: using this shutdown to not just furlough temporarily hundreds of

639
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: thousands of federal workers, but rather have a massive reduction

640
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: in force and to continue the job that DOGE started

641
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 1: by actually firing thousands and thousands and thousands of federal

642
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: workers who would not be able to come back, not

643
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: be able to collect back salary, and not be able

644
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: to do jobs that the Trump administration say run contra

645
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 1: to their overall governmental mission. White House Press Secretary Caroline

646
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: Levitt was asked about that this morning.

647
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 2: Why are layoffs now necessary in this shutdown?

648
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 8: Because we have an administration and we have a president

649
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 8: who are wholeheartedly focused on restoring fiscal sanity to our

650
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 8: governments and doing the right thing by the American taxpayer.

651
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 8: We are thirty seven trillion dollars in debt in the

652
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 8: federal government is currently shut down. There is no more

653
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 8: money coming into the federal government's case. And as you've

654
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 8: also seen since the beginning in January, this administration is

655
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 8: focusing on waste, fraud, and abuse, and so Democrats have

656
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 8: given this administration an unenviable choice to have to take

657
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 8: a look at the balance sheet and identify where these

658
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 8: cuts in lays can be made.

659
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: We will talk about those potential layoffs as well as

660
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: the shutdown, where Democrats are in negotiations, and what the

661
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: Republican position is and really has always been, as we

662
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: talk with Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald coming up in just

663
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: about twenty minutes here on the Dan O'Donnell show, that

664
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 1: Ladies and Gentlemen is your daily Trump Date. I feel

665
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: like it is my daily duty to remind you that

666
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: Democrats are absolutely lying to your face when they say

667
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 1: they don't want to fund Medicaid for illegal aliens. In fact,

668
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 1: alif has been doing so using a massive loophole, which

669
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: was so big that California's spending from Medicaid coffers on

670
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: healthcare for illegals was so big it drove up the

671
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: cost of health care for illegals federally out of the

672
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:23,280
Speaker 1: emergency Medicaid budget in twenty twenty four by a massive amount.

673
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt did just a masterful job. She is so

674
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: incredibly effective as the White House Press secretary. In about

675
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 1: two minutes, she succinctly nuked pretty much every Democrat talking

676
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: point about Medicaid for illegals.

677
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 8: Take a list the Democrats proposal, their continuing Resolution. Let

678
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 8: me just reiterate, the Republicans Continuing Resolution was a clean

679
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 8: continuing resolution. There was no partisan politics injected into it.

680
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 8: There were no conservative wishless injected to it. What the

681
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 8: Republicans want and still want to this very second, is

682
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 8: a clean continuing resolution to fund the United States government.

683
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 8: What did the Democrats want in their continuing Resolution? They

684
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:10,240
Speaker 8: inserted a provision to undo a provision in the Working

685
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 8: Families Tax Cut, the One Big Beautiful Bill that ended

686
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 8: taxpayer funded healthcare illegal benefits for legal aliens. Democrats proposal

687
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 8: would require Medicaid to pay more for emergency care provided

688
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 8: to illegal aliens than Medicaid does for American patients who

689
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 8: are disabled, elderly, or children. And this bill would have

690
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 8: also allowed California to continue a gimmick that funds its

691
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 8: Medicaid for illegals program. Those are things that we ended.

692
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 8: The Trump administration ended with the passage and the signage

693
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 8: of the One Big Beautiful Bill. And it is an

694
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 8: undisputed fact, a fact that under the Biden administration, illegal

695
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 8: aliens were absolutely receiving taxpayer funded healthcare benefits. In fact,

696
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 8: in fiscal year twenty twenty four, Medicaid costs for emergency

697
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,720
Speaker 8: services for legal immigrants skyrocketed by one hundred and forty

698
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 8: two percent from the pre to nine point one billion dollars.

699
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 8: That's nine point one billion taxpayer dollars that were going

700
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 8: to emergency services for illegals between President Trump's last full

701
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 8: fiscal year under his first administration in Joe Biden's last

702
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 8: full fiscal year, Medicaid spending on emergency services for illegal

703
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 8: immigrants nearly tripled. There was an increase of one hundred

704
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,399
Speaker 8: and ninety six percent between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four.

705
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:33,320
Speaker 1: That is absolute brutal efficiency in destroying Democrat talking points.

706
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: I wish I was half as good as Caroline Levitt is.

707
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 1: That would take me like six seven minutes. That would

708
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 1: be a complete segment. And in fact, we did this

709
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: yesterday as well as the day before, it seems. But

710
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: it's so important because this is just how the left works,

711
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: and normally they will be able to just kind of

712
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: repeat their lies over and over again with a compliant

713
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: media that will just repeat and regurgitate their talking points

714
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: as gospel. But something strange has sort of happened during

715
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,960
Speaker 1: this current government shutdown. The left wing media has not

716
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: been as compliant as in past shutdowns. In fact, even

717
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, took to the floor

718
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: of the Senate today to complain that the New York

719
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: Times is actually are you ready for this biased against liberals? Yes,

720
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: his fellow senators laughed in his face when he tried

721
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: to suggest this. Now, I know the.

722
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 9: Leader is going to show a poll that says that

723
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 9: Democrats will be blamed for the shutdown.

724
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,720
Speaker 1: There are many more polls that show Republicans are blamed.

725
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,720
Speaker 1: The question in that poll is biased, biased.

726
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 9: In the New York Times, but it's biased if you

727
00:50:58,719 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 9: turn the quote.

728
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: That's true. I don't always believe the New York Times.

729
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: You can assure that needed do you. Okay, God be

730
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: kidding me. When Chuck Schumer is trying to claim that

731
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: the New York Times is running a push pull to

732
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: try to gin up the idea that Democrats are to

733
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: blame and not Republicans for the shutdown. This is why

734
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: Democrats want to shut the government down to begin with,

735
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: because they know that news organizations like the New York Times,

736
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: which are responsible for setting the agenda for the rest

737
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: of the media, both national and local, and thus influencing

738
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: how many untold millions of people who consume just mindlessly

739
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: these news organizations, and how they feel about the shutdown,

740
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,919
Speaker 1: and who they're going to blame for the shutdown. Now

741
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 1: what Schumer knows, it's the idea that, oh, yes, yes,

742
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:06,760
Speaker 1: they're running a push pull so that Democrats get the blame.

743
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 1: The New York Times, because of its well known liberal bias, yes.

744
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: If there is one thing I know about the Times,

745
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:26,399
Speaker 1: it's that it is just hopelessly biased against liberals. Against liberals. Yeah,

746
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: there was that full editorial board freak out and the

747
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,919
Speaker 1: threat of mass resignations in twenty twenty over the Democrat

748
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: senator's editorial, No, it is Republican Senator Tom Cotton who said, yes,

749
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: you are probably going to have to call in the

750
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 1: National Guard to break up the George Floyd riots. You

751
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: had to peel the left wingers from the fainting couches.

752
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: After that went to print. Yes, the New York Times,

753
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: famed bastion of conservatism. It's it's like the Weekly Standard,

754
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: the National Review and the New York Times. Forget about

755
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 1: the old Gray Lady. It is the red lady. It

756
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: is the Maga hat. Where, oh my god, yeah, old

757
00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: Pinch Sulzburger walking around the Times newsroom with a maga hat.

758
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: On the reason that people are blaming Democrats for the

759
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: shutdown is because Democrats are to blame for the shutdown.

760
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 1: Republicans are perfectly fine with negotiating the items that Democrats want,

761
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: just not in a continuing resolution. And in fact, Chuck

762
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: Schumer has said over and over and over again. You

763
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 1: don't debate policy at the tip of a spear while

764
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 1: holding the federal government hostage. What I thought was rather

765
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: remarkable is that there was a montage that was floating

766
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: around of Chuck Schumer's own words. I didn't put it together.

767
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: CNN did. The fact that even CNN, even the New

768
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: York Times are saying, hey, wait a minute, this is

769
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:14,839
Speaker 1: probably bad strategy for the Democrats. That's a bad sign.

770
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: And they're not saying it because suddenly they're biased against

771
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: liberals or they've got William F. Buckleyish conservative bent to them. No,

772
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: it's because they understand that President Trump and his Office

773
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 1: of Management and Budget are absolutely going to use this

774
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: shutdown to eliminate unnecessary and redundant jobs in the federal government,

775
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:46,440
Speaker 1: or jobs that are in departments like DEI or climate

776
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 1: change or things like that that just don't align with

777
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 1: the Trump administration's vision, which I will remind you they

778
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: are well within their rights to do. You're listening to

779
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:04,359
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald show, Conservative thought not just talk back

780
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: in just three minutes. Never let it be said that

781
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: Dan o'donald is not a man of the people, that

782
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: he does not listen to the members of dan Nation.

783
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: A number of people are texting and even calling up

784
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: not to complain about the fact that I look like

785
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: a bobblehead. According to our people who are watching on

786
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: the danocam. Totally true. I absolutely own that. I think

787
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to do what is what was that movie?

788
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: Was it? What was the Julia Roberts Hooker movie? Pretty Woman?

789
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: Was a Pretty Woman? Where she had the book on

790
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: her head where she was trying to like walk? Was

791
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: it My Fair Lady? Where she had to like practice

792
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: her posture? And am I gonna hear? Look at this?

793
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: Look at this? If you're watching on the danocam, I

794
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: can talk without moving my I have now got my

795
00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: cell phone, and it's an expensive cell phone, it's an

796
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: iPhone Pro. Maybe it's a couple of years old. But

797
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: look at how still my head can be. No, they're

798
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 1: not still complaining about that. They're complaining about the very

799
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: real fact that I did not give the Fall Fortune

800

00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: courtesy of iHeart Media. We had a winner on the

808
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell show yesterday listening on our Great Madison affiliate

809
00:56:55,440 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 1: News Talk thirteen to ten WIBA. We really do appreciate

810
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 1: you listening to us. And this is really distracting trying

811
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: to do a radio segment with a phone on my head.

812
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 1: But I'm actually watching myself on the danocam and it's working.

813
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: Do I sound more robotic? Producer, Jeff do? I really?

814
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: I gotta work on that. You see it is. I'm

815
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: telling you, folks, if you were listening to us in

816
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: the last hour, I move my head and I move

817
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: my hands, and I'm very expressive when i talk, not

818
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: only because I'm half Italian, which is very real. There

819
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: are some stereotypes that are just true, and one of

820
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: them is Italian's talk with their hands. You would, first

821
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: of all, I have super dark hair and super dark skin,

822
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: so you'd probably think if you saw me, oh, he's

823
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: probably Sicilian or maybe Jewish. My hair straight as a board,

824
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: so you'd probably think Italian. Then if you see and

825
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: hear me talk, did I talk with my hands? That's

826
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: like that. That is one hundred percent Cechiliano. But in

827
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: order to really convey emotion and really to get it's

828
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: it's just sort of an old trick I learned from well,

829
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know where I picked it up, but

830
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 1: years and years and years of lifetime spent in radio.

831
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: When you only have your voice to use, you have

832
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: to be extremely expressive. Belling was always very, very good

833
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: at using those long, pregnant pauses for dramatic effect. I'm

834
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: kind of more like if belling was the way I

835
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: describe our two styles. Belling is more like jazz, right,

836
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,120
Speaker 1: He's sort of all over the place, and kind of

837
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm more straight ahead punk rocket three chords plowing straight ahead.

838
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: By the way, my offer to my producer to do

839
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 1: the five block hour for me so I can hit

840
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: happy Hour on a beautiful Friday afternoon is rescinded because

841
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: instead of playing Dan O'Donnell's show approved bumper music, he

842
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: was going to play what was it? Gwar and Slayer.

843
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: We have heavy metal rocker producer Jeff pipe Bomb or

844
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: a Losky producing the show today and my offer is

845
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: officially rescinded as good as he is with my man

846
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: Tim Allen at Brewers Analysis, please do listen to them

847
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 1: after each and every Brewers Playoff game on our sister

848
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: station ninety seven to three the game. His taste in

849
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:47,360
Speaker 1: music is not really musical. Speaking of music, big, big

850
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: day in the music industry today, Taylor Swift's new album,

851
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: The Life of a Showgirl was released. Life of a Showgirl,

852
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: starring Elizabeth Berkeley have saved by the bell fame. If

853
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: you get that reference, you are probably also in your

854
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: mid forties and every joint is starting to hurt. I

855
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: live with two of the biggest Swifties in the world,

856
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: my wife and daughter. We went to go see Taylor

857
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: Swift on her eras tour not once but twice, once

858
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: in Chicago and once we happen to be in London

859
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 1: with a group of listeners on our Dan O'Donnell show

860
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:37,919
Speaker 1: Adventure to Normandy for the eightieth anniversary of D Day.

861
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift happened to be at Wembley Stadium. I got

862
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: tickets which were actually remarkably inexpensive across the pond for

863
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 1: the very last row straight back, but the very last

864
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: row in a ninety thousand seat stadium for Taylor Swift.

865
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: As you can imagine. My daughter, who is eleven years old.

866
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Have I told you about this, Producer, Jeff, I think

867
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 1: I've been talking about the fact we got a puppy.

868
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: I finally, kay, if we got a puppy I people

869
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: have people been clamoring for the uh puppy picks? People

870
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,439
Speaker 1: want to see Buddy the dog. We will. I will

871
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 1: give you Buddy the dog content. He is a cute

872
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: little boy. We had our front room turned into the

873
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: Buddy room. He's got his bedroom, He's got his little

874
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: doggy fence, he's got about five thousand toys. He's got

875
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: his little crate which is his bed. He's got blankies.

876
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: He got ay about a week ago. My wife says, well,

877
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: Buddy seems lonely in Buddy's room. Instead of having a

878
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 1: den for you know me, the dog had his own room.

879
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: Dog's craik got moved into our room. Guess who moved

880
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: with him. My daughter, who has her own bathroom upstairs

881
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: in her beautiful room that we built for her. She

882
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: is now sleeping on the floor because and I quote,

883
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: she wants to make sure that Buddy is okay when

884
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: he first wakes up and he doesn't whine or whimper

885
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 1: that he's in his cage for like five seconds before

886
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: Megan or I can get him out of the crane.

887
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 1: So The Life of a Showgirl gets released probably at midnight,

888
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, on Spotify and all the streaming things.

889
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: When Taylor Swift's big, big album, Midnight's, came out in

890
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:37,280
Speaker 1: November of twenty twenty two. I think I've told this

891
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 1: story before. My wife, who is never really into Taylor Swift,

892
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: was like waiting for me to wake up. She had

893
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: spent all night listening to the Taylor Swift new album

894
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: and watching the Taylor Swift anti hero video, which I'll

895
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,800
Speaker 1: admit is very very well done. It's an excellent album.

896
01:02:55,840 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: It's actually produced by one of my very favorite arttists

897
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: whose name is now absent, Jack Antonoff. Jack Antonoff of

898
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: Bleachers and Fun produced the album. I just love his sound.

899
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the most talented guys in

900
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: all of music and one of the smartest because he

901
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: used to date Lena Dunham from Girls and then dump her,

902
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: so that proves his intelligence. Lena Dunham, of course, the

903
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: millennial feminist icon who produced the whiniest show in television

904
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: history Girls. In any event, I woke up that morning

905
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: to Megan basically standing over me watching me wake up, saying,

906
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: you have to listen to the new Taylor Swift. Hell ah,

907
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 1: and I listened to it. Wow, this is actually incredibleous,

908
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 1: a very good album. When both my wife and daughter

909
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: woke up this morning, they made me put the Life

910
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: of a show girl the new Taylor Swift album on

911
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: my iPad on Spotify, and Spotify has this feature where

912
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: you can sort of preview every song. They'll give you

913
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: like a forty five second preview, So we listen to

914
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: every song. Do you know what my wife and daughter,

915
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: who are the two biggest swifties on planet Earth, said meh,

916
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 1: it's not that good. So I can take that to

917
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,919
Speaker 1: mean that the Taylor Swift album, which is still going

918
01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:30,680
Speaker 1: to set every record for spins, you don't get sales anymore.

919
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 1: Nobody buys the album. You are paid a couple of

920
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 1: fractions of a cent every time one of the streamers

921
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: like Spotify or Apple Music or iHeartRadio plays the song

922
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 1: the artist gets a tiny fraction of a cent, and

923
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: that's how they get paid. Obviously, they're not getting paid

924
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: nearly as much as they used to. When you have

925
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: to go out and buy the vinyl or buy the

926
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: tape or buy the CDE. It's gonna set every record

927
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: there is, and I can tell you it's not nearly

928
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: is well received in the swifty community as the last

929
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: couple of albums. When we come back, Congressman Scott Fitzgerald

930
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 1: talks Taylor Swift. No, I'm just kidding. He's talking about

931
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 1: the shutdown. We'll be back. Welcome back to it. We

932
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: are as always honored to be joined live on the

933
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: phone by Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald. Sir, how many times

934
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: have you listened to the new Taylor Swift album five six?

935
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,479
Speaker 4: I have not heard it, but uh, you know, mixed

936
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,560
Speaker 4: for news is what I say. Yeah, I'm here out

937
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:38,640
Speaker 4: of the street, so I don't know. Yeah, the starting

938
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 4: to dim a little bit.

939
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, if you have lost eleven year

940
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: old Grace O'Donnell, you have lost the Swifty commute it. Actually,

941
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 1: she's probably gonna come home. I guarantee, I'm probably going

942
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: to get a text from my wife as they're on

943
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: their way to soccer practice. She says, we've been listening

944
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 1: to the new Taylor Swift album for the last hour

945
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: while driving around. It's the best thing ever. So just

946
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: initial reviews this morning were not good. Okay, you are

947
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 1: not here to talk t Swift, unless, of course you

948
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: really want to. Congressman, you are here to talk shut down.

949
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 1: What is the latest out of DC.

950
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 4: Well, the latest is that thee just notified the members

951
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 4: of the House that we will not be in DC

952
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:24,439
Speaker 4: next week.

953
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 1: Oh wow.

954
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, that is kind of big news because I

955
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,959
Speaker 4: think in the discussions we had in the conference calls

956
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 4: that we've had up until now, there was still the

957
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 4: possibility of trying to come in and open up the

958
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 4: committee work and continue to go to the floor with

959
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 4: some other legislation. But I think there's two things going on.

960
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 4: One is that you know, when you're operating with a

961
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 4: two seat majority, it's always difficult to kind of pull

962
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 4: the team together and make sure everyone's there. And in

963
01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 4: this instance, the vote is so tight and so critical

964
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 4: that you know it would be difficult, I think, to

965
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 4: function and operate without knowing exactly where all the votes

966
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 4: are and don't. I don't think we know that at

967
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 4: this point. And then the second piece is we did

968
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 4: our work. I mean, we passed the CR, which is

969
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 4: always kind of a mixed bag thing. You look at

970
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 4: it and you're like, well, you know, we're kind of

971
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 4: in a situation where, you know, we're just going to

972
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 4: be back at it again on November twenty first. So

973
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 4: to some extent, I was still hopeful that the Senate

974
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,560
Speaker 4: would kind of see the lights and allow us to

975
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 4: continue with the appropriations process. And that's I think part

976
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,959
Speaker 4: of this that's underreported is that there's twelve appropriations built

977
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 4: that the House has put in a position to pass

978
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 4: in Congress to fully fund the government. So you know,

979
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 4: even though crs are kind of continuation of that. I mean,

980
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 4: there's a reason this CR was before us in the

981
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 4: length of it, and it was because the appropriates process

982
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 4: is going very well. Now. That doesn't mean the US

983
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 4: Senate could tackle that as well. I'm not going to

984
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 4: promise that, but I think we were a great position

985
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 4: to be able to pass the CR. But by the

986
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 4: time I hit the ground on my flight on the

987
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 4: flyout day, the Senate had already voted it do so

988
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 4: you know, we find ourselves in a position. I'm not

989
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 4: sure what else the House could go back and do

990
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 4: right now to change things. But I'm a little shocked

991
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 4: at kind of the rangling that the Democrats are doing.

992
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 4: I've seen some pretty stupid things in the now in

993
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 4: the amount of time that I've been an elected official,

994
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 4: but this is right up there. I mean, I think

995
01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 4: they really walked into something here that ultimately they're just

996
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:47,759
Speaker 4: going to have to capitulate on. And it might come

997
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 4: by us senators figuring out that there's no negotiation that

998
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,679
Speaker 4: could or will happen, or it could be by the House,

999
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 4: you know, literally throwing in the towel. So I think

1000
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 4: that's kind of where we're at right now.

1001
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:05,360
Speaker 1: Do you think ultimately the Trump administration will move forward

1002
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:09,839
Speaker 1: with mass layoffs not necessarily to put pressure on Senate

1003
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: Democrats to get that cr done, but because this does

1004
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 1: present the opportunity to do what he has been in

1005
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 1: constant court battles over since the start of his term,

1006
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:24,479
Speaker 1: and that's reduced the size of the federal government and

1007
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 1: reduce the amount that we're spending on frivolous programs.

1008
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think somebody over in Schumer's office didn't think

1009
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 4: this through. If there is any way to reduce the

1010
01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 4: effectiveness of the legislative branch of government, it is to

1011
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:51,640
Speaker 4: shut down the government. And that's what the Democrats have done.

1012
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 4: They have opened the door and have offered the flexibilities

1013
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 4: that the executive branch has been asking for since the

1014
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 4: day Donald J. Trump was sworn into office. They've they've

1015
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 4: simply handed it to him, which you know, and I

1016
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 4: know Russ Vote, he's been in He's spoken to many

1017
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 4: of the members of the House on just what are

1018
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,640
Speaker 4: the what are things that you think would be valuable?

1019
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 4: What departments could we actually completely eliminate and would have

1020
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 4: zero effect on government? And there's a lot of them,

1021
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 4: I can tell you that. And they've handed the keys

1022
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 4: to Russ Vote as well and said, you know, we're

1023
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 4: just kind of kind of throw up our hands and

1024
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 4: make the legislative branch completely ineffective because the government's shut down.

1025
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 4: So the executive branch con flex its muscle, and you know,

1026
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 4: we all know Donald Trump is absolutely going to take

1027
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 4: advantage of that.

1028
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald joining me here on the Dan

1029
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 1: o'donald show. The narrative is sort of out there that

1030
01:10:54,439 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: somehow on page fifty seven of the Democrats continue resolution,

1031
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 1: there is not a provision that would overturn the one

1032
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 1: Big Beautiful Bills prohibition on Medicaid for illegal aliens. That

1033
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 1: they're trying to pretend that that is not right there.

1034
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 1: I can give you the page fifty seven. It is

1035
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 1: on page fifty seent go to page fifty seven right now.

1036
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 1: You will find it right there. It throws out the

1037
01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:29,360
Speaker 1: one Big Beautiful Bills healthcare provisions, and one of those

1038
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 1: is prohibiting illegals from accessing Medicaid. What do you make

1039
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 1: about Democrats just trying and I believe failing to get

1040
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: this lie into the public consciousness.

1041
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 4: So the new phrase is that fifty and legal status.

1042
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 4: And the reason that's important is because it describes the

1043
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:58,800
Speaker 4: way that illegals get into our healthcare system. Right Oftentimes

1044
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 4: it's a mixed bad when you're talking about either a

1045
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 4: family that has different statuses, where you may have somebody

1046
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 4: born here with the head of the household maybe is

1047
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:16,639
Speaker 4: illegal or vice versa. So there's all these different kind

1048
01:12:16,680 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 4: of nuances to what illegals use to get into the

1049
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 4: healthcare system. But we all know what the access point

1050
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 4: is it's been like this for decades, and that is

1051
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 4: the emergency room, right And.

1052
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,760
Speaker 1: Anybody who's been in anybody who's been in an emergency

1053
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 1: room for the last fifteen to twenty years knows exactly

1054
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:43,679
Speaker 1: why anybody truly the idea that illegals are not using

1055
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:47,600
Speaker 1: emergency rooms as primary care is so beyond ludicrous. It

1056
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:50,640
Speaker 1: doesn't even pass the basic smell test.

1057
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 4: Exactly. I mean, everyone knows you go into the doctor's office,

1058
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 4: you go to the clinic for maybe even a regular checkup,

1059
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 4: and the first thing they ask for is ID your

1060
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:05,639
Speaker 4: driver's license and your insurance cards. Well, you know, illegals

1061
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 4: don't have those two things, and if they do, they're

1062
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 4: probably bogus anyways. So the way to get into the

1063
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 4: system is you go to the er. You can have

1064
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 4: anything from obviously a sniffles to something more seriously, and

1065
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 4: once they're in that system, they are tapping in co medically.

1066
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:22,639
Speaker 5: Yep.

1067
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 4: And that is what the Democrats have not fully described

1068
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 4: because they know it's been going on every year. They

1069
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 4: love it, they love the way it is, they love

1070
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:36,960
Speaker 4: the way it's structured. And so this red heiring now

1071
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 4: that they are using in this pr discussion is completely

1072
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 4: omitting this whole operation that we know is that we

1073
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 4: know happens throughout the US, and we've just had one

1074
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,839
Speaker 4: of the top healthcare systems in the city of Denver.

1075
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 4: Is the CEO kind of set it out loud. He's like, listen,

1076
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 4: we have so many illegals going into our er rooms

1077
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 4: right now that we went back and edited it all off.

1078
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:07,880
Speaker 4: It's it's ten million dollars just since the beginning of

1079
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 4: the year in unpaid services. And it's all because we

1080
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:15,680
Speaker 4: can't deny anybody access and they're not paying, and we

1081
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 4: know it, and they know it.

1082
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:20,600
Speaker 1: And everybody knows right, No, no, of course it's not.

1083
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: And I'm told you have some new data on illegal immigration. Yeah.

1084
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:31,080
Speaker 4: I mean the thing that we've been kind of focused

1085
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 4: on when when we did the Working Family Bill, the

1086
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:39,839
Speaker 4: big beautiful bill, Yeah, was that in many instances, especially

1087
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 4: in rural US, that a lot of these smaller hospitals

1088
01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 4: kind of found themselves in a position where they can't

1089
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:51,599
Speaker 4: they can't simply have the same type of admissions that

1090
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:54,559
Speaker 4: some of these larger hospitals can take. So what you're

1091
01:14:54,600 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 4: seeing is a shift there actually now because so this

1092
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,520
Speaker 4: is almost mind bottling but a lot of the illegals

1093
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 4: they're following money, they have figured out that in some

1094
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 4: instances they have to hit kind of multiple healthcare systems

1095
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 4: and multiple healthcare delivery, rural settings, topit, those clinics, all

1096
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 4: those to make sure that they're never kind of nailed

1097
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:23,880
Speaker 4: down so different stuff that they that budget management has had,

1098
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,439
Speaker 4: and now now we're all starting to see kind of

1099
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,839
Speaker 4: the way it works across the entire country.

1100
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely unbelievable. Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald joining me here on

1101
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell Show. Sir, don't be a stranger. Keep

1102
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 1: us posted on what's going on that you did. I

1103
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: think break some news that Congress is not going to

1104
01:15:43,479 --> 01:15:45,719
Speaker 1: House at least is not going to be in session

1105
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: next week. The Senate very likely will be as they

1106
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 1: attempt to pass the same clean, clean cr that you

1107
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 1: did in the House. But that's actually that's that's pretty

1108
01:15:56,520 --> 01:16:00,679
Speaker 1: big news. So keep us posted, please, sir. Do appreciate it.

1109
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 4: Thanks Dan, Thank you so much.

1110
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure. He is Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald. I'll

1111
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:11,639
Speaker 1: be honest with you. Hearing him say that members should

1112
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: not come in next week makes me think that this

1113
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:19,559
Speaker 1: is probably going to go through at least the next

1114
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I had thought that the shutdown was

1115
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 1: probably gonna last a week. Two weeks. Now I'm starting

1116
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: to think we might be in maybe into early November.

1117
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:33,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

1118
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 1: It's it's entirely possible because Democrats are going to double down.

1119
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:44,599
Speaker 1: They have always counted on the media to just sort

1120
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: of echo their talking points, and that's not really happening.

1121
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:51,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Dan o'donald Show, Conservative Thought, not

1122
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:56,160
Speaker 1: just talk. Final hour of a busy broadcast week here

1123
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,360
Speaker 1: on the Dano Donald's Show. That means coming up in

1124
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 1: about fifteen or twenty minutes, we will get to the

1125
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 1: strangest stories of the past seven days. It's a segment

1126
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 1: that we call how bizarre. It does not get more bizarre,

1127
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen than the saga of the des Moines,

1128
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 1: Iowa school superintendent. The guy making three hundred thousand dollars

1129
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:25,719
Speaker 1: of taxpayer money was an illegal immigrant with a violent

1130
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: past who not only was registered to vote in Maryland,

1131
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 1: he did vote. This brings us to a very important

1132
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 1: story that you're probably not going to hear about anywhere else.

1133
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 1: A big decision out of the Waukeshaw County Circuit Court

1134
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 1: regarding the Wisconsin Elections Commission and whether it needs to,

1135
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: you know, do its job and ensure that illegal aliens

1136
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: or those who are otherwise not awfully allowed to cast

1137
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: a ballot are not on Wisconsin's voter rolls like this

1138
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: Iowa is superintendent and are not voting like he allegedly

1139
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 1: did in Maryland. We will get to that coming up

1140
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 1: in just this second. First, your five o'clock word in

1141
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:21,080
Speaker 1: the Fall Fortune Cash contest. Let me make sure I've

1142
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 1: got the right one. I accidentally grabbed the four o'clock word. Nope,

1143
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: five o'clock word is right here. It is deposit d Eposit, deposit.

1144
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 1: You have got until fifty five past the hour to

1145
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:36,680
Speaker 1: go to our website and enter the keyword deposit to

1146
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 1: enter the contest for this hour. If your entry has

1147
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 1: picked at random, you will make a deposit in the

1148
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 1: amount of one thousand dollars courtesy of us here at

1149
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 1: iHeart medium decision reached today in a lawsuit filed against

1150
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:01,760
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Elections Commission and Wakashaw County Circuit Court alleging

1151
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 1: that wek the Wisconsin Elections Commission was shirking its responsibility

1152
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: to fairly administer Wisconsin's elections by not cross referencing voter

1153
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: roles with Wisconsin Department of Transportation data that would show

1154
01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 1: whether someone has a valid driver's license or whether someone

1155
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 1: is in fact someone who has a driver's license that

1156
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 1: is a temporary issue, that is one that cannot be

1157
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:41,760
Speaker 1: used for voting, but otherwise looks identical to regular driver's licenses.

1158
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:45,760
Speaker 1: We were among the ones who drew the attention to

1159
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: this just before last year's presidential election, and the Wisconsin

1160
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 1: Elections Commission did not want to do anything about this.

1161
01:19:56,040 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Do you realize that you can get a driver's license

1162
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 1: if you are now now illegals cannot get driver's licenses,

1163
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:09,160
Speaker 1: But if you are a legal United States immigrant, you

1164
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:12,759
Speaker 1: are not a citizen ergo you are not eligible to vote.

1165
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: You can get a driver's license that looks identical to

1166
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 1: a US citizen's driver's license. There is just a tiny

1167
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:26,120
Speaker 1: little phrase that's printed on it that would identify you

1168
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 1: as someone who is not a US resident. It doesn't

1169
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:33,320
Speaker 1: say that I believe it was temporary status or something

1170
01:20:33,400 --> 01:20:37,720
Speaker 1: like that, non domiciled or something like that, and it's

1171
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 1: for people who are in this country temporarily, but we

1172
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 1: and in this state temporarily, but we for reasons known

1173
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 1: only to the Tony Evers Dot although I suspect I

1174
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 1: know the exact reason that we're giving people who aren't

1175
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 1: authorized to vote but have to show photo ID in

1176
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 1: order to vote, IDs that look identical to lawful voters IDs.

1177
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:04,439
Speaker 1: They can show those driver's licenses, and unless there is

1178
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:09,680
Speaker 1: an eagle eyed volunteer who scans that license and says, hey,

1179
01:21:09,720 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 1: wait a second, I recognize this, You're not eligible to vote,

1180
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:16,840
Speaker 1: that person would be able to be added to the

1181
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: voter rules. Remember, we do have same day voter registration

1182
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:24,640
Speaker 1: here in Wisconsin. You could use theoretically that ID to

1183
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: get registered and to vote. WECK has been maintaining since

1184
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:34,639
Speaker 1: this issue was brought to the four that it doesn't

1185
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:40,720
Speaker 1: have an affirmative responsibility to ensure that only lawful qualified

1186
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: electors vote, which is ridiculous on its face, because if

1187
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 1: your job isn't to administer elections by ensuring only people

1188
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:54,760
Speaker 1: who are authorized to vote in those elections actually vote

1189
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: in those elections, then what is your actual function? According

1190
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: to the Walkshaw County Circuit Court order, Shockingly, the agency

1191
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:08,760
Speaker 1: that Wisconsin's citizens rely on to ensure the integrity of

1192
01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:13,920
Speaker 1: our electoral process claims Wisconsin statutes do not require the

1193
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 1: Commission to prevent non US citizens from appearing on the

1194
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: list or to remove non US citizens from the list.

1195
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 1: Weck is wrong. Wisconsin's statutes are replete with requirements that

1196
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:33,639
Speaker 1: only lawful voters are allowed to cast a vote. WEK

1197
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 1: has no discretion whether to include non US citizens in

1198
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 1: the official voter role because the official voter role may

1199
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:46,639
Speaker 1: only include those electors that are properly registered to vote

1200
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:50,760
Speaker 1: pursuant to Wisconsin Statute five point zero two, WEK is

1201
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 1: failing in the most basic task of ensuring that only

1202
01:22:54,200 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 1: lawful voters make it to the voter role from where

1203
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 1: lawful votes are does not get simpler than that, does it.

1204
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: Guess what's almost certainly going to happen. WEK is going

1205
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:14,640
Speaker 1: to appeal this decision, whether or not it goes and

1206
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:20,400
Speaker 1: gets a favorable disposition in the Wisconsin Court of Appeals,

1207
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: It's going to go to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. This

1208
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:30,680
Speaker 1: is where that state Supreme Court election becomes so so important.

1209
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: Do you think the state Supreme Court, controlled by the

1210
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:41,600
Speaker 1: four liberals that currently control it is ever going to

1211
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:47,240
Speaker 1: uphold this decision that WEK has an affirmative duty to

1212
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 1: ensure that only US citizens vote, of course not. The

1213
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 1: Circuit Court has ordered that WEK is going to figure

1214
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 1: out a plan for doing just this by sixty days

1215
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 1: from now. The court's clerk shall set a status hearing

1216
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: via zoom in sixty days to update the court on

1217
01:24:15,479 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 1: the progress if said plan of said plan, I believe

1218
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:22,720
Speaker 1: that's a typo, and to discuss any other legal issues

1219
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:27,679
Speaker 1: or relief remaining on this matter. This is a pretty

1220
01:24:27,680 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: straightforward ruling. Wek was claiming that now nobody is claiming

1221
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 1: that unlawful voters are people who are ineligible to vote

1222
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:43,400
Speaker 1: should remain on the voter rolls. They should not. Weck

1223
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: stipulates to this point. Wek's argument, though, is that as

1224
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 1: the administrator of Wisconsin's elections, it has no affirmative duty

1225
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:57,720
Speaker 1: to make sure that the voter roles are clean, that

1226
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 1: the voter roles do not have on them people who

1227
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:07,639
Speaker 1: are ineligible to cast votes in Wisconsin elections. What then,

1228
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 1: would Weck's job be. This is the most basic function

1229
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 1: of an election administrator. Of an election administrative body, whether

1230
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:22,240
Speaker 1: it's a Secretary of State, which most states have to

1231
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:26,839
Speaker 1: run elections, or like Wisconsin, we have the Elections Commission.

1232
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 1: This is exactly what the job is. WEK is trying

1233
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,640
Speaker 1: to Claiy. Well, you know, it's individual clerks. They have

1234
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 1: to clean up their roles, and we have the multi

1235
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:42,840
Speaker 1: state data base that's known as ERIC and we need

1236
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:48,679
Speaker 1: to comply with that. Remember, WECK fought for years against

1237
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 1: cleaning up the voter roles at all. They wanted everyone

1238
01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 1: and anyone who had ever been eligible to vote in

1239
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:01,719
Speaker 1: Wisconsin to just sort of remain on the voter roles

1240
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 1: almost in perpetuity, saying we only have an affirmative duty

1241
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 1: to clean up the state's voter roles every four years. Well,

1242
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 1: Wisconsin statutes are very clear. In fact, there is an

1243
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: affirmative duty to constantly be monitoring and to make sure

1244
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:26,719
Speaker 1: that Wisconsin's voter roles are current. I also can't think

1245
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:30,840
Speaker 1: of a legitimate reason, legitimate reason. I can think of

1246
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:36,679
Speaker 1: all manner of illegitimate reasons that an election entity would

1247
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 1: have for not clearing up voter roles, for not ensuring

1248
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 1: that ineligible people do not cast ballots. But I would

1249
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:48,320
Speaker 1: love to give the benefit of the doubt to the

1250
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:51,840
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Elections Commission here if there is some sort of

1251
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 1: valid reason. I read the thirteen pages of this In fact,

1252
01:26:56,600 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 1: this was just brought to me right before the show started,

1253
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 1: so I sort of had to take some commercial breaks

1254
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 1: to read and digest this opinion. I did not get

1255
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 1: in this opinion a single cogent argument from Whack for

1256
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:17,720
Speaker 1: why they don't have to comply with federal law and

1257
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:20,800
Speaker 1: why they don't have to comply with state law and

1258
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 1: they don't have to uphold the basic, most basic, most

1259
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 1: fundamental elemental function of an election administrator, and that is

1260
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:36,639
Speaker 1: making sure that only those who are eligible to vote

1261
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:41,720
Speaker 1: are eligible to vote. Not only that the notion that

1262
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:46,120
Speaker 1: driver's license is for those who are ineligible to vote

1263
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 1: look very nearly identical to those who are not eligible

1264
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:54,679
Speaker 1: to vote. My goodness, when a kid has his tempts,

1265
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 1: we print it the vertical way on the license vertical

1266
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 1: on the lest you're telling me you can't have in

1267
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 1: giant letters not to be used for voting printed right

1268
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:14,800
Speaker 1: on the thing, of course you can. It also is

1269
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 1: remarkable to me that we don't have How many times

1270
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:23,720
Speaker 1: have you had to not just show your ID to

1271
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:27,439
Speaker 1: buy alcohol or tobacco, or lottery tickets or something, but

1272
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:33,400
Speaker 1: scan your ID. It is remarkable to me that with

1273
01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:37,680
Speaker 1: all the technology that we have, we don't have a

1274
01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:42,400
Speaker 1: scan to make sure this is a valid ID. This

1275
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 1: would not destroy the secret ballot. It would merely validate

1276
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:51,559
Speaker 1: that the Daniel O'Donnell who is showing up at the

1277
01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:55,799
Speaker 1: polls is actually the Daniel O'Donnell who is registered to vote,

1278
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 1: and that Daniel O'Donnell is casting a vote. But over

1279
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:03,479
Speaker 1: the past five years, using COVID as an excuse to

1280
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 1: start at least, we have done away with practically every

1281
01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:14,880
Speaker 1: real insurance mechanism that we have that only valid votes

1282
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:20,440
Speaker 1: are cast. I keep using the example of the temporarily

1283
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:24,760
Speaker 1: or indefinitely confined voter. Do you remember how we went

1284
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 1: from about fifty five to sixty thousand indefinitely confined voters

1285
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:33,240
Speaker 1: out of a state population about five point nine million

1286
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:37,800
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen to two hundred and fifty thousand in

1287
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That only happens because people are being told

1288
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:47,760
Speaker 1: to mark themselves as indefinitely confined, even if they're not

1289
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:51,919
Speaker 1: indefinitely confined. Now there are people who really are confined

1290
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:55,720
Speaker 1: to their homes, or people who for whom it is very,

1291
01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 1: very difficult to get out and to cast a vote,

1292
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:04,679
Speaker 1: people who who are very old, they're infirm, they're confined

1293
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:08,479
Speaker 1: to a wheelchair, maybe they have an extreme difficulty getting around.

1294
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 1: Those people are the people for whom the indefinitely confined

1295
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:17,720
Speaker 1: status is reserved, and there are far fewer than two

1296
01:30:17,800 --> 01:30:21,479
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand of them. But the advantage of

1297
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:25,400
Speaker 1: the indefinitely confined status has always been that you only

1298
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:29,639
Speaker 1: need to show photo ID once, as opposed to every

1299
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:32,720
Speaker 1: single time you go to vote, and then ballots are

1300
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:38,920
Speaker 1: just automatically mailed to the house. To illustrate how absurd

1301
01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:44,559
Speaker 1: this is and how it is impossible to demonstrate whether

1302
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:48,440
Speaker 1: or not and to prove whether or not the Daniel O'Donnell,

1303
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 1: who lives at Daniel O'Donnell's house, was actually the one

1304
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:57,479
Speaker 1: filling out the ballot. There are five O'Donnell's six. Now

1305
01:30:57,520 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 1: if you include Buddy the dog who live at my house,

1306
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 1: how could you possibly prove that Daniel O'Donnell is the

1307
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:07,640
Speaker 1: one who filled out the ballot. I told you I

1308
01:31:07,680 --> 01:31:09,640
Speaker 1: have an eleven year old daughter. How do you know

1309
01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:13,600
Speaker 1: she's not the one who filled out the bubbles. You

1310
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 1: don't I sign my name to it. I go on

1311
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:21,679
Speaker 1: my merry way. When you vote in person, the ballot

1312
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:24,760
Speaker 1: is handed directly directly to me. This is known as

1313
01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:28,800
Speaker 1: chain of custody. We have a direct chain of custody

1314
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:32,400
Speaker 1: from the pile of ballots sitting behind the desk with

1315
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 1: qualified election workers who are designated from a pool of

1316
01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:41,599
Speaker 1: both political parties, and they go in and they represent

1317
01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:44,559
Speaker 1: the city. Normally. They're kindly, little old ladies. They do

1318
01:31:44,600 --> 01:31:47,639
Speaker 1: a fantastic job each and every election. The ballot goes

1319
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:53,040
Speaker 1: directly from little old lady to Daniel O'Donnell. Daniel O'Donnell

1320
01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:57,320
Speaker 1: goes to the little tables with the security things so

1321
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:01,600
Speaker 1: people can't cheat off of my ballot, and then the

1322
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 1: ballot goes right into the machine. Or if I am

1323
01:32:06,040 --> 01:32:10,240
Speaker 1: voting in person absentee, which is still the biggest most

1324
01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:14,840
Speaker 1: insane oxymoron I think I've ever in person absentee voting

1325
01:32:14,920 --> 01:32:19,040
Speaker 1: better known as early voting, the ballot goes directly from

1326
01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:24,000
Speaker 1: me into the envelope sealed by me, where it goes

1327
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:29,280
Speaker 1: and sits in a locked facility, in a locked box

1328
01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 1: or a locked the chain of Caussey, it never once leaves.

1329
01:32:33,520 --> 01:32:37,320
Speaker 1: There is no chance for anybody not named Daniel O'Donnell

1330
01:32:37,560 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: to fill out Daniel O'Donnell's ballot. Mail in ballots provide

1331
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:49,360
Speaker 1: for an insane violation of chain of custody. And this

1332
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 1: is why they were always always viewed with suspicion and

1333
01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:59,800
Speaker 1: still are. I always found it endlessly hilarious that, in

1334
01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:04,120
Speaker 1: the wake of the disastrous twenty twenty presidential election, where

1335
01:33:04,120 --> 01:33:09,879
Speaker 1: mail in ballots dominated Amazon, the owner of the Washington

1336
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:13,639
Speaker 1: Post refused to allow mail in ballots to be used

1337
01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:17,600
Speaker 1: for a unionization vote at a plant and I think Virginia,

1338
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:20,360
Speaker 1: but memory is sort of failing on where exactly the

1339
01:33:20,400 --> 01:33:23,080
Speaker 1: plant was. But it was a unionization vote at Amazon.

1340
01:33:23,520 --> 01:33:26,320
Speaker 1: They would not allow mail in ballots because and I quote,

1341
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 1: the potential for fraud was way too high. So if

1342
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:34,800
Speaker 1: they're not good enough for a unionization vote at Amazon,

1343
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 1: someone please tell me how they're good enough for presidential

1344
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:44,040
Speaker 1: and statewide elections. This, however, is a good start that

1345
01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:47,599
Speaker 1: we have a judge saying, yes, wek you do need

1346
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:52,040
Speaker 1: to validate driver's licenses, You do need to make sure

1347
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 1: that the voter roles are current, they're accurate, and they

1348
01:33:56,600 --> 01:33:59,640
Speaker 1: don't include a whole bunch of people who are in

1349
01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:04,120
Speaker 1: LA to vote. Strange stories of the past seven days.

1350
01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:06,200
Speaker 1: I can't wait, You can't wait. It's how bizarre and

1351
01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:09,080
Speaker 1: it's coming up next. Cover a lot of serious stuff

1352
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:13,040
Speaker 1: here on the Dan o'donald's show, like great court ruling.

1353
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:19,320
Speaker 1: Props to artist Serny. She is a good government and

1354
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:23,640
Speaker 1: fair election advocate who just does tireless work. She was

1355
01:34:23,720 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 1: actually the one who brought the lawsuit against the Wisconsin

1356
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:32,080
Speaker 1: Elections Commission that led to a very favorable Waukeshaw County

1357
01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:35,240
Speaker 1: Circuit Court ruling which we were going over in the

1358
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 1: first segment of the Dan o'donald show just a second ago.

1359
01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:44,280
Speaker 1: Thanks to her lawsuit, this judge is ordering wek to

1360
01:34:44,520 --> 01:34:49,640
Speaker 1: do its job and to actually ensure that only qualified

1361
01:34:49,680 --> 01:34:54,920
Speaker 1: electors and lawful citizens are voting in Wisconsin's election. We cover,

1362
01:34:55,560 --> 01:34:58,519
Speaker 1: you know, serious stuff like that all the time. But

1363
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:02,559
Speaker 1: on a Friday app afternoon, Friday evening, the sun is

1364
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 1: starting to hang low in the sky. It's still a

1365
01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:09,720
Speaker 1: gorgeous seventy five degrees outside. Man, oh man, have we

1366
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:13,639
Speaker 1: been blessed with just incredible weather this September and into

1367
01:35:13,720 --> 01:35:16,040
Speaker 1: early October, and I guess that's going to continue at

1368
01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:19,400
Speaker 1: least for the next couple of days, thankfully through this weekend.

1369
01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:22,599
Speaker 1: But as we're sort of getting into weekend mode, maybe

1370
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:24,960
Speaker 1: we have already got a cocktail in our hands. It

1371
01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 1: is time to ditch this serious and focus instead on

1372
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:33,639
Speaker 1: the silly, the strange, the stories that make us cock

1373
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:41,799
Speaker 1: an eyebrow and say to ourselves, howsa talbazon? The saga

1374
01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:46,280
Speaker 1: of Ian Andre Roberts is one of the most bizarre

1375
01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:49,519
Speaker 1: that I've seen in quite some time. He was just

1376
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:54,519
Speaker 1: discovered to be an illegal alien as the head of

1377
01:35:54,600 --> 01:36:00,519
Speaker 1: the Des Moines, Iowa Public School System the superintendent there well.

1378
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:04,920
Speaker 1: An investigation has revealed that this guy has a long

1379
01:36:05,320 --> 01:36:08,599
Speaker 1: violent history since he illegally came to this country from

1380
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:13,200
Speaker 1: Guyana in nineteen ninety four. In ninety six, he's charged

1381
01:36:13,240 --> 01:36:17,400
Speaker 1: with criminal possession of narcotics with intent to sell, criminal

1382
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:22,280
Speaker 1: possession of a forgery instrument, and possession of a forged

1383
01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:26,120
Speaker 1: instrument in New York. Nineteen ninety eight, he's hit with

1384
01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:30,160
Speaker 1: a charge of third degree unauthorized use of a vehicle

1385
01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:34,960
Speaker 1: in Queens. Now that was dismissed the following year. He's

1386
01:36:35,000 --> 01:36:39,400
Speaker 1: convicted in twenty twelve for reckless driving, unsafe operation, and

1387
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:45,000
Speaker 1: speeding in Maryland. In February of twenty twenty, criminal possession

1388
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 1: of a weapon, he had a loaded firearm outside of

1389
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:51,839
Speaker 1: his home or business, third degree criminal possession of a weapon,

1390
01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:56,519
Speaker 1: an ammunition feeding device, and four to three weapons charges.

1391
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:00,960
Speaker 1: A document from February fourth, twenty twenty eight indicates the

1392
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:05,840
Speaker 1: second degree criminal possession charge was in coit. Twenty twenty two,

1393
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:10,680
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania convicted Roberts of unlawful possession of

1394
01:37:10,720 --> 01:37:14,760
Speaker 1: a loaded firearm. September twenty sixth, twenty twenty five, he's

1395
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:18,679
Speaker 1: arrested with a glock nine pistol, a fixed blade hunting knife.

1396
01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 1: He had three thousand dollars in cash on him, and

1397
01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:26,760
Speaker 1: he's criminally charged yesterday with being an illegal alien in

1398
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:31,880
Speaker 1: possession of firearms. With that criminal record, he was the

1399
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 1: superintendent of the largest public school system in the state

1400
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:43,280
Speaker 1: of Iowa. How is that even possible? And what's remarkable

1401
01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:48,240
Speaker 1: is that he has had run ins with ice pretty

1402
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:54,839
Speaker 1: much throughout his tenure and his lengthy criminal career. In fact,

1403
01:37:55,280 --> 01:38:00,240
Speaker 1: he filed green card applications on at least four separate occasions.

1404
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:05,800
Speaker 1: On four separate occasions it was denied. He kept applying

1405
01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:12,599
Speaker 1: for employment authorization documents now amazingly, in twenty nineteen they

1406
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:19,120
Speaker 1: were approved, but they expired December of twenty twenty, so

1407
01:38:19,200 --> 01:38:23,679
Speaker 1: he has been overstaying a work visa for five years now.

1408
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:27,360
Speaker 1: How he was able to get a work visa after

1409
01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:33,000
Speaker 1: that many criminal charges, that many criminal convictions across multiple

1410
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:38,120
Speaker 1: states from Pennsylvania to New York to Maryland and finally

1411
01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 1: getting arrested in Iowa. That's beyond me. And oh, by

1412
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:49,600
Speaker 1: the way, he was also confirmed to have voted illegally

1413
01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:56,120
Speaker 1: in Maryland on multiple occasions. Folks. That's less bizarre than

1414
01:38:56,160 --> 01:39:01,560
Speaker 1: it is an indictment of just how last our illegal

1415
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:07,479
Speaker 1: immigration protection has been, as well as what a joke

1416
01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:15,920
Speaker 1: our voting laws have been. Albaza talbazan Port, Charlotte, Florida

1417
01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:21,519
Speaker 1: woman arrested Monday. She stole a motorized shopping cart from

1418
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:26,680
Speaker 1: a publix drove it down Airport Road in Punta Gorda.

1419
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:31,880
Speaker 1: According to the Sheriff's office, deputies responded to that publix

1420
01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:35,479
Speaker 1: around ten to twelve. Deputies say they talked to a

1421
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:38,240
Speaker 1: store manager who told them that a woman had come

1422
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:41,400
Speaker 1: to the store, stolen a motorized shopping cart and was

1423
01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:45,559
Speaker 1: seen driving it south on Tammiami Trail from Airport Road.

1424
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 1: Deputies track down the woman, identified as forty two year

1425
01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:52,519
Speaker 1: old Robin Zick of Punta Gorda, to a Circle K

1426
01:39:53,120 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 1: gas station almost a mile away from that publix. Zick

1427
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 1: told them that she i took the motorized cart to

1428
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:04,720
Speaker 1: go to a medical appointment she had, telling deputies she

1429
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:07,760
Speaker 1: planned on driving the cart to her appointment and then

1430
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:15,960
Speaker 1: bringing it back to the public's neude doesn't quite work

1431
01:40:16,439 --> 01:40:20,400
Speaker 1: like that. She is now under arrest and in custody

1432
01:40:20,479 --> 01:40:22,240
Speaker 1: facing charges of grand.

1433
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:25,520
Speaker 6: Audaza.

1434
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:35,639
Speaker 1: Talbazon. Artificial intelligence agency Dual Entry has raised ninety million

1435
01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:42,560
Speaker 1: dollars in a Series A round led by light Speed Ventures.

1436
01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:50,439
Speaker 1: What is the actual name of the company, Well, it's company.

1437
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:57,080
Speaker 1: What does the company do? Nothing? They just registered company

1438
01:40:57,880 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 1: and got a whole round of fire nancing and Series

1439
01:41:01,720 --> 01:41:06,519
Speaker 1: A bonds for company. It is actually a test of

1440
01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:12,639
Speaker 1: just how effectively artificial intelligence can go through the entire

1441
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:17,320
Speaker 1: process of founding a company. Now, if you didn't think

1442
01:41:17,600 --> 01:41:21,439
Speaker 1: that was scary enough, as to what our future is

1443
01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 1: going to look like. Take a look at this.

1444
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:31,839
Speaker 9: Algaza Tubaza Police in northern California were perplexed they pulled

1445
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:35,639
Speaker 9: over a taxi after it made an illegal U turn.

1446
01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:40,720
Speaker 1: Do you know who they ticketed? Nobody? It was a

1447
01:41:40,840 --> 01:41:44,479
Speaker 1: driverless way Mo. There was no one behind the wheel

1448
01:41:44,600 --> 01:41:48,320
Speaker 1: and no one to ticket. The San Bruno Police Department

1449
01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 1: wrote in a now viral social media post that officers

1450
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:57,680
Speaker 1: were conducting a dui operation early Saturday morning when a

1451
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 1: self driving Weaimo made the illegal urn right in front

1452
01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:03,719
Speaker 1: of them. Officers stopped the vehicle but declined to write

1453
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:07,519
Speaker 1: a ticket as their citation books don't have a box

1454
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:11,839
Speaker 1: for robot. That's right, read the post. No driver, no hands,

1455
01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:16,920
Speaker 1: no clue. Officers contacted Weimo to report what they called

1456
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:19,920
Speaker 1: a glitch, and in the post they said they hope

1457
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:25,040
Speaker 1: reprogramming will deter more illegal moves. The department's Facebook post

1458
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:28,439
Speaker 1: has generated more than five hundred comments, with many people

1459
01:42:28,520 --> 01:42:32,799
Speaker 1: outraged that police didn't ticket the company. Police also wanted

1460
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:35,160
Speaker 1: to know, and I do too, what is the big

1461
01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:40,280
Speaker 1: thing that you're wondering about this story? How did they

1462
01:42:40,320 --> 01:42:43,720
Speaker 1: get the way Mo to pull over? My guess is

1463
01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:47,600
Speaker 1: that the sensors and the cameras can determine and the

1464
01:42:47,720 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence can interpret when a police officer is right

1465
01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:56,320
Speaker 1: behind the car and wants it to pull over. And

1466
01:42:56,479 --> 01:43:01,120
Speaker 1: that answer is that mystery. But as for whether or

1467
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:05,000
Speaker 1: not you can ticket a self driving car, San Bruno,

1468
01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:13,160
Speaker 1: Sergeant Scott Smith matungle, is that actually his name Smith mctungle,

1469
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:19,160
Speaker 1: Scott Smith mtungle. That could be its own how bizarre

1470
01:43:19,200 --> 01:43:22,519
Speaker 1: story in and of it. So, Scott Smith mctungle said

1471
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:25,240
Speaker 1: they can only ticket a human driver operator for a

1472
01:43:25,280 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 1: moving violation, unlike parking tickets that can be left with

1473
01:43:29,320 --> 01:43:31,400
Speaker 1: the vehicle. Now, a new state law that kicks in

1474
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:34,240
Speaker 1: next year will allow police to report moving violations to

1475
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:38,160
Speaker 1: the Department of Motor Vehicles, which is figuring out the specifics,

1476
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:43,719
Speaker 1: including potential penalties, of what exactly happens when you don't

1477
01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 1: have a driver but a car commits a moving violation.

1478
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, that is your weekly look back at

1479
01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:52,439
Speaker 1: the strangest stories in the past seven days. In a

1480
01:43:52,479 --> 01:44:04,240
Speaker 1: segment we call Dan O'donnald's show, coming right Back. You know,

1481
01:44:04,280 --> 01:44:07,880
Speaker 1: we can sort of laugh about the police officers being

1482
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:13,080
Speaker 1: flummixed as to how exactly you ticket Away, Mo. But

1483
01:44:13,200 --> 01:44:18,320
Speaker 1: this is a real serious thing. What happens if a

1484
01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:21,679
Speaker 1: self driving car? And folks, I do continue to believe

1485
01:44:21,760 --> 01:44:27,560
Speaker 1: that FSD or full self driving is a lot closer

1486
01:44:27,600 --> 01:44:32,120
Speaker 1: to becoming a reality than people might think. It's not

1487
01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:36,640
Speaker 1: going to be, you know, a full It's not going

1488
01:44:36,720 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 1: to be completely ubiquitous in a decade. I still think

1489
01:44:41,240 --> 01:44:44,800
Speaker 1: the single best look at what the future is likely

1490
01:44:44,920 --> 01:44:48,320
Speaker 1: to look like. Do you remember the movie from two

1491
01:44:48,400 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 1: thousand and one two thousand and two, Minority Report. It

1492
01:44:52,240 --> 01:44:57,599
Speaker 1: starred Tom Cruise and Colin Ferrell, and the primary conceit

1493
01:44:57,640 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 1: it was from a Philip K. Dick story believe, and

1494
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 1: the concept was in the future, they use pre cogs

1495
01:45:09,600 --> 01:45:13,640
Speaker 1: or people with esp who can see the future, and

1496
01:45:13,680 --> 01:45:16,960
Speaker 1: they have them hooked up to their triplets who are

1497
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:20,519
Speaker 1: hooked up to this giant machine and they can see

1498
01:45:20,520 --> 01:45:23,320
Speaker 1: the future. And if you are convicted, or if you

1499
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:26,840
Speaker 1: are found to at some point in the future commit

1500
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:30,519
Speaker 1: a crime, you can be arrested, jailed and thrown into prison.

1501
01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:34,240
Speaker 1: It's sort of dystopian view of what justice relates. A

1502
01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:38,479
Speaker 1: very very well done movie. Cruise is fantastic, Colin Ferrell

1503
01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:43,200
Speaker 1: is very very good and the best part about it

1504
01:45:43,280 --> 01:45:46,120
Speaker 1: is its vision of the future. And remember this is

1505
01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:50,280
Speaker 1: two thousand and two and there are very high tech

1506
01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:54,519
Speaker 1: cities and everybody has self driving cars, but there are

1507
01:45:54,640 --> 01:45:58,839
Speaker 1: still sort of old rust buckets in the more rural

1508
01:45:58,960 --> 01:46:01,640
Speaker 1: areas that are on the road. I think that's what

1509
01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:03,960
Speaker 1: it's going to be like. There are going to be

1510
01:46:04,120 --> 01:46:08,120
Speaker 1: people who just are not going to adapt to self

1511
01:46:08,200 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 1: driving automobiles. They probably are going to be very expensive

1512
01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:16,639
Speaker 1: to begin with. I mean, Tesla has the ability for

1513
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:19,000
Speaker 1: the car to basically drive you, but you still have

1514
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:22,400
Speaker 1: to be holding onto the steering wheel and you still

1515
01:46:22,439 --> 01:46:26,840
Speaker 1: have to be attentive. And that's not because technology is

1516
01:46:26,960 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 1: not able to get you from point A to point B.

1517
01:46:30,080 --> 01:46:35,599
Speaker 1: With self driving, it's for liability because if there's an

1518
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:39,679
Speaker 1: issue with the Tesla tech, your hands are on the wheel,

1519
01:46:39,800 --> 01:46:44,160
Speaker 1: presumably your feet are somewhere near the brakes, You're able

1520
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:47,920
Speaker 1: to take control of the car, and therefore if there's

1521
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:51,200
Speaker 1: a crash, you can be blamed. It's not going to

1522
01:46:51,200 --> 01:46:55,840
Speaker 1: be Tesla because if a Tesla's self driving vehicle and

1523
01:46:55,880 --> 01:46:57,800
Speaker 1: I'm just using Tesla for it, I'm not trying to

1524
01:46:57,800 --> 01:47:00,920
Speaker 1: pick on Musk or something like that if Tesla or

1525
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:06,360
Speaker 1: Weimo or whatever causes a fatal accident, you can't blame

1526
01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:11,360
Speaker 1: human error. This is one hundred percent the fault of

1527
01:47:11,479 --> 01:47:16,639
Speaker 1: the artificial intelligence and therefore the company, leaving the company

1528
01:47:16,840 --> 01:47:22,920
Speaker 1: exposed to massive, massive liability. That I think is the

1529
01:47:22,960 --> 01:47:27,799
Speaker 1: thing that is ultimately going to perhaps keep self driving

1530
01:47:27,840 --> 01:47:32,680
Speaker 1: technology just over the technological horizon. It's not that we

1531
01:47:32,720 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 1: as a species can't do it, it's that we have

1532
01:47:35,560 --> 01:47:41,240
Speaker 1: as a species have unfortunately invented lawyers. And I say

1533
01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:46,120
Speaker 1: that coming from a family of lawyers and technically being

1534
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:51,559
Speaker 1: an attorney, although nonpracticing myself, someone who graduated from law school,

1535
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:53,920
Speaker 1: I guess would be more accurately stated, I would not

1536
01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 1: go to me for legal advice. Thankfully nobody does, but

1537
01:47:59,720 --> 01:48:01,679
Speaker 1: that is likely to be the issue. But it does

1538
01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:06,880
Speaker 1: call into question sort of exactly what the future is

1539
01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:12,040
Speaker 1: going to look like. I mean, we truly have a

1540
01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:17,639
Speaker 1: world of limitless possibility that lay before us, but at

1541
01:48:17,640 --> 01:48:22,640
Speaker 1: the same time we have a world of potentially what

1542
01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:26,920
Speaker 1: is it you will one day see horrors beyond your imagination.

1543
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:30,080
Speaker 1: I was actually watching this show. If you've never seen it,

1544
01:48:30,080 --> 01:48:33,320
Speaker 1: it's not for the faint hearted, but it's a very

1545
01:48:33,439 --> 01:48:37,280
Speaker 1: very well done show. It's a British show but always

1546
01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:40,320
Speaker 1: has American actors. It's on Netflix, and I know everybody's

1547
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:42,559
Speaker 1: mad at Netflix right now, but this show is fantastic.

1548
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:45,360
Speaker 1: It's called Black Mirror. I've talked about it before. I

1549
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:48,680
Speaker 1: know I'm late to the game. The seventh season was

1550
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:54,120
Speaker 1: just released some months ago, and I saw the season premiere,

1551
01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 1: which was about a woman who gets an experimental brain transplant.

1552
01:48:59,400 --> 01:49:02,120
Speaker 1: And it's played by Rashida Jones. If you remember, she's

1553
01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:05,720
Speaker 1: the daughter of Quincy Jones. She was in Boy, she

1554
01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:09,439
Speaker 1: was in the Office, she was in Parks and Rec's.

1555
01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:11,599
Speaker 1: She's been in a lodge of the TV actress, longtime

1556
01:49:11,680 --> 01:49:15,760
Speaker 1: veteran TV actress. And she's given an implant in her

1557
01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:21,240
Speaker 1: brain and the surgery costs nothing, but you have to

1558
01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:27,600
Speaker 1: pay a subscription for it, okay, and the subscription gradually

1559
01:49:27,640 --> 01:49:30,439
Speaker 1: gets more expensive and to try to get it. It's

1560
01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:37,280
Speaker 1: an incredible satire of Netflix itself and the lower tiers

1561
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:41,559
Speaker 1: of subscription models. Do you know now on Amazon Prime,

1562
01:49:41,600 --> 01:49:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm still ticked off at this. If you just pay

1563
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:49,000
Speaker 1: for regular Amazon Prime, you get commercials well in this show,

1564
01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:51,639
Speaker 1: and I forget what the name of the The Each

1565
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:54,200
Speaker 1: episode of Black Mirror is like a standalone sort of

1566
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:58,200
Speaker 1: mini movie. It's an episodic television series sort of like

1567
01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,559
Speaker 1: Tales from the Crypt. Yes, it's basically Tails from the

1568
01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:05,120
Speaker 1: Crypt with a technological bent to it. Every story is

1569
01:50:05,160 --> 01:50:07,840
Speaker 1: about how technology is somehow running amok. So of course

1570
01:50:07,840 --> 01:50:10,720
Speaker 1: it's right up my eye, right up my alley. So

1571
01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:14,280
Speaker 1: she gets the most basic tier of this implant in

1572
01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:17,400
Speaker 1: her brain, which allows her to live. She needs this

1573
01:50:17,520 --> 01:50:21,519
Speaker 1: to live. She has a smaller coverage area. If she

1574
01:50:21,640 --> 01:50:25,240
Speaker 1: goes outside of the coverage area where the towers are

1575
01:50:25,320 --> 01:50:28,679
Speaker 1: that power her brain, she just like slips into a coma.

1576
01:50:29,479 --> 01:50:31,880
Speaker 1: It's not funny, it's not played for laughs, but it is.

1577
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:36,679
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just such perfect satire. Then, to try

1578
01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:41,360
Speaker 1: to get her to the higher tier, the implant will

1579
01:50:41,479 --> 01:50:44,760
Speaker 1: randomly have her say she's not consciously saying it. It

1580
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:51,240
Speaker 1: will rather randomly have her say advertisements based on the scenario. So,

1581
01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:57,360
Speaker 1: for example, she's being intimate with her husband and she

1582
01:50:57,560 --> 01:51:00,800
Speaker 1: does an advertisement for condoms, and the husband is of

1583
01:51:00,880 --> 01:51:04,160
Speaker 1: course like, well, whoa, WHOA, what's going on? And then

1584
01:51:04,479 --> 01:51:07,559
Speaker 1: he's like, ah, this kind of spoiled the mood. And

1585
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:10,800
Speaker 1: then she sits up in bed and does an advertisement

1586
01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:14,559
Speaker 1: for a rectile dysfunction. I mean, I was howling, and

1587
01:51:14,600 --> 01:51:17,439
Speaker 1: it's not played for last it's not totally But could

1588
01:51:17,560 --> 01:51:22,120
Speaker 1: you not could you not see that in the very

1589
01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:26,960
Speaker 1: near future. I mean, we do have the ability to

1590
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:31,080
Speaker 1: be able to do the most incredible things with technology.

1591
01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:35,479
Speaker 1: And I still think people are sleeping on AI. If

1592
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:38,639
Speaker 1: you're looking at I guess it's right here. I'm pointing

1593
01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:43,479
Speaker 1: to it, the new dan O'Donnell show logo. I did

1594
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:46,439
Speaker 1: that myself. I'm not a graphic designer. I kind of

1595
01:51:46,479 --> 01:51:50,439
Speaker 1: put together the basic concept of it and I had

1596
01:51:50,520 --> 01:51:55,040
Speaker 1: AI smooth it out. Not only that, I had AI

1597
01:51:55,360 --> 01:52:00,000
Speaker 1: turn it into a neon sign that's now hanging bed

1598
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:02,519
Speaker 1: behind me. If you're watching the new studio set up

1599
01:52:02,560 --> 01:52:05,320
Speaker 1: on the dan ocam, there's not actually a neon sign

1600
01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:09,320
Speaker 1: behind me. It's a green screen behind me. But that

1601
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:13,680
Speaker 1: was done by AI in a matter of seconds. In

1602
01:52:13,720 --> 01:52:19,080
Speaker 1: a matter of seconds, imagine. And this is AI just

1603
01:52:19,280 --> 01:52:24,599
Speaker 1: in development since what twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two,

1604
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:29,400
Speaker 1: where we first started to see what's known as generative AI,

1605
01:52:30,080 --> 01:52:34,720
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence that's able to create based on text prompts

1606
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:39,480
Speaker 1: four years of development. You can make hyper realistic VO

1607
01:52:39,520 --> 01:52:44,479
Speaker 1: three movies. They're saying, and did you see this? What's

1608
01:52:44,520 --> 01:52:48,400
Speaker 1: her name? Tilly McFadden or something like that. The hot

1609
01:52:48,479 --> 01:52:52,920
Speaker 1: new actress in Hollywood is not a real person AI

1610
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:59,160
Speaker 1: generated character. I mean, it's just everything we know is

1611
01:52:59,840 --> 01:53:03,559
Speaker 1: very very soon about to change. I'm not necessarily sure

1612
01:53:04,080 --> 01:53:08,160
Speaker 1: for the better Brewers and Cubs. We'll discuss next. So

1613
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:11,760
Speaker 1: are we happy we're playing the Cubs? Or ticked off?

1614
01:53:12,920 --> 01:53:18,080
Speaker 1: Producer Jeff, What do you think you're happy? Why is that?

1615
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:21,240
Speaker 1: Because we played the Cubs pretty well, in fact, very

1616
01:53:21,240 --> 01:53:31,520
Speaker 1: well this season, and the Padres probably were the better team.

1617
01:53:33,960 --> 01:53:37,080
Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right. Producer Jeff, who does

1618
01:53:37,120 --> 01:53:41,200
Speaker 1: host the or co hosts the Brewers postgame show the

1619
01:53:41,479 --> 01:53:44,400
Speaker 1: Baseball Postgame Show with Tim Allen on our sister station,

1620
01:53:44,600 --> 01:53:48,760
Speaker 1: says he wants to even though the Brewers did lose

1621
01:53:48,800 --> 01:53:52,200
Speaker 1: the season series to both teams, I believe they were

1622
01:53:52,560 --> 01:53:57,200
Speaker 1: more even with the Cubs. The Padres beat the Brewers

1623
01:53:57,560 --> 01:54:01,000
Speaker 1: pretty handily, played a fewer times than the Cubbies, of course,

1624
01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:04,960
Speaker 1: not being in the same division, Jeff says, and I quote,

1625
01:54:05,120 --> 01:54:10,120
Speaker 1: I want to rip Greg Cousel's heart out right, in

1626
01:54:10,160 --> 01:54:14,800
Speaker 1: front of him at American Family Field by eliminating his Cubs. Yeah, well,

1627
01:54:14,880 --> 01:54:18,040
Speaker 1: what if things don't go that way? What if things

1628
01:54:18,080 --> 01:54:20,880
Speaker 1: get don't go the Brewers way. That said, I think

1629
01:54:20,920 --> 01:54:24,240
Speaker 1: the Brewers are the better team. The only thing that

1630
01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:28,280
Speaker 1: concerns me, as it has concerned me with pretty much

1631
01:54:28,360 --> 01:54:32,560
Speaker 1: every team that gets that first round by you obviously

1632
01:54:32,600 --> 01:54:35,240
Speaker 1: want it because there are fewer chances for you to lose.

1633
01:54:36,120 --> 01:54:40,640
Speaker 1: But the teams that are playing hot, that have played

1634
01:54:40,720 --> 01:54:44,000
Speaker 1: win or go home baseball for a week, typically go

1635
01:54:44,120 --> 01:54:47,360
Speaker 1: into those series a little bit hotter. The Brewers might

1636
01:54:47,440 --> 01:54:51,040
Speaker 1: show some signs of rust having been off for that

1637
01:54:51,120 --> 01:54:55,080
Speaker 1: many days, or you know what, who knows, one o'clock tomorrow,

1638
01:54:55,240 --> 01:54:57,760
Speaker 1: they may put seven on the board in the first inning.

1639
01:54:57,760 --> 01:55:01,200
Speaker 1: That's what I'm rooting for. Go Brewers. Please have a

1640
01:55:01,360 --> 01:55:04,000
Speaker 1: wonderful weekend, get out there and enjoy the weather. We're

1641
01:55:04,040 --> 01:55:06,600
Speaker 1: back Monday afternoon on The Dan o'donald Show.
