1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: In case you were wondering just how long it would

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: take Democrats to drop the Jeffrey Epstein narrative as soon

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: as it was revealed that Dems were way more tied

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: to Epstein than Donald Trump ever was. The answer was

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: about two days. They have now moved on to the

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: idea that somehow President Trump today said that Democrat members

7
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: of Congress should be killed, that they should be rounded

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: up and executed in the streets. He absolutely did not.

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: We will get into the controversy du joure on this

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,400

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: what her judicial philosophy is. It comes to us from

13
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: a recommendation letter that I was able to unearth that

14
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: Taylor wrote for none other than Milwaukee County Circuit Court

15
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: Judge Lina Taylor. We will get into that in the

16
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: five o'clock hour. We are also going to talk to

17
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald about a bill that he just

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,960

Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen to start thinking about the big holiday

33
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: and to start thinking once again about the Dan o'donald

34
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: Show Family Christmas Special. We are once again calling for

35
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: the children of our listeners, in our listener family to

36
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: submit their performances either singing Christmas carols or playing their

37
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: instruments for our annual Dan o'donald Show Family Christmas Special.

38
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: This year, it is going to debut on December twenty third,

39
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: the day before Christmas Eve. It will then play throughout

40
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Is going to be the

41
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: sixth year that we have been doing this, the fifth

42
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: year that we have invited our listener family to contribute.

43
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: Here's how it works. We want to have as many

44
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: kids as possible feature literally from babies all the way

45
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: up through high school. If you are eighteen but still

46
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: in high school, you are still eligible. Also, it needs

47
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: to be a performance from this year. We love our

48
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: kids from years past, but we want to see how

49
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: you have developed as a musician, as a singer, as

50
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: a pianist, as a violinist, as a French horn player. Yes,

51
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: we have had instruments says varied as the French horn

52
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: and even the bagpipes. One year, we want you to

53
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: record your kids or your grandkids or kids. If you

54
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: can record yourselves playing a Christmas carol, send it to

55
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: me via email DD at iHeartMedia dot com. Make sure

56
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: once you submit that I respond to you and acknowledge

57
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: that I receive your submission and say okay, you are

58
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: in the Christmas Special. We are only going to be

59
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: able to guarantee that the first fifty five zero entries

60
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: fifty entries are going to be in the Christmas special.

61
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: It's going to run two hours with commercials. That's actually

62
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: only about eighty minutes of programming time. We also request

63
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: that you keep your entries to two minutes or under

64
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: because my goal is to feature as many kids as possible.

65
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: We just aren't able to accommodate if you have got

66
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: a five or six minute song. We also reserve the

67
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: right to edit that submission down for time so it

68
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: fits in two minutes or under. In addition, as in

69
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: years past, we are also asking for school or community

70
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: or church choirs or bands or orchestras to submit their entries. However,

71
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: in order to make sure that we are doing this legally,

72
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 1: we need the orchestra conductor or the choir director, or

73
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: somebody who is able to speak or do things on

74
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: behalf of the organization as a whole. We love you parents,

75
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: We know how proud you are of your kids in

76
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: the school chorus. But if you're just taking a video

77
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: of a performance, we can't feature that on the radio

78
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: unless we get the consent of somebody who is authorized

79
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: to give consent on behalf of the organization. We absolutely

80
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: love featuring church and school groups. We know there are

81
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: a ton of christ misperformances coming up over the next month,

82
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: and we want to just feature as many kids as

83
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: possible have them make their radio debut. We absolutely love

84
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: doing this each year. One other thing because it does

85
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: take a tremendous amount of time and effort to put

86
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: this together. We are only going to be able to

87
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: complete or excuse me to accept submissions through the end

88
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: of the weekend that is going to be Sunday, December fourteenth.

89
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: We need usually a full week to get everything together,

90
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: to make sure that we have enough time to edit

91
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: everything down and to get all of the submissions. So Sunday,

92
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: December fourteenth is your deadline. We are not going to

93
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: take any more submissions after that, and again we are

94
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: only able to guarantee that the first fifty submissions that

95
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: we will actually make the special. I want to try

96
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: to get as many kids as possible involved. I work

97
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: my butt off to get as many kids as possible

98
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: involved and featured in this, but we are of course

99
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: constantly running up against time constraints, and I guess now

100
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: would be as good a time as any to tell

101
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: you that on WISN our flagship station. Yes, we are

102
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: going to be continuing our tradition of playing radio plays

103
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: from the nineteen forties and I believe even earlier. Christmas Carol,

104
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful life Miracle on thirty fourth Street. It

105
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: is going to be a spectacular Christmas celebration, and it's

106
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell show Family Christmas Special starring the children

107
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 1: of our listener family. We want you so get those

108
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: submissions in as quick as you can to d d

109
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: at iHeartMedia dot com once again. That is d d

110
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: at iHeartMedia dot Com. A couple of days ago, we

111
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: told you the story of a group of Democrat congressional

112
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: representatives and senators, all military veterans, openly calling for current

113
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: members of the military and the intelligence community i e.

114
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: The Deep State, to openly violate orders given by their

115
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: commander in chief, Donald Trump. The presumption, of course, is

116
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: that those orders must be unlawful and unconstitution.

117
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: This administration is pitting our uniform military.

118
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 3: And intelligence community professionals.

119
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: Against American citizens like us. You all swore an oath.

120
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: To protect and to them this constitution.

121
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming

122
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: from abroad, but from right here at home.

123
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: Our laws are clear you can refuse illegal orders.

124
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 3: You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders.

125
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 3: No one has to carry out orders that violate the

126
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 3: law or our constitution.

127
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: Now, today on truth Social President Trump posted, it's called

128
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: seditious behavior at the highest level in response to this video.

129
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: Each one of these traitors to our country should be

130
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: arrested and put on trial. Their words cannot be allowed

131
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: to stand. We won't have a country anymore. An example

132
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: must be set, and he signed it President DJT. He

133
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: then followed that with another truth Social post, which simply said,

134
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: seditious behavior punishable by death. Now, at the White House

135
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: Press briefing this afternoon, as you could imagine, pretty much

136
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: every media representative, every reporter in the room was only

137
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 1: asking White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt about that this morning.

138
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 4: To President Trump accused six Democratic lawmakers of seditious.

139
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 3: Behavior punishable by death.

140
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 4: Just to be clear, does the President want to execute

141
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: members of Congress.

142
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 5: No, Let's be clear about what the President is responding to,

143
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 5: because many in this room want to talk about the

144
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 5: president's response, but not what brought the president to responding

145
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 5: in this way. You have sitting members of the United

146
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 5: States Congress who conspired together to orchestrate a video message

147
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 5: to members of the United States military, to active duty

148
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 5: service members, to members of the National Security apparatus, encouraging

149
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 5: them to defy the president's lawful orders. The sanctity of

150
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 5: our military rests on the chain of command, and if

151
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 5: that chain of command is broken, it can lead to

152
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 5: people getting killed, it can lead to chaos. And that's

153
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 5: what these members of Congress, who swore an oath to

154
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 5: abide by the Constitution, are essentially encouraging. We have one

155
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 5: point three active duty service members in this country, and

156
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 5: if they hear this radical message from sitting members of Congress,

157
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 5: that could inspire chaos, and it could incite violence, and

158
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 5: it certainly could disrupt the chain of command.

159
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: Just to be clear, this sort of thing, encouraging members

160
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: of the military to defy their commander in chief is

161
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: very likely running a foul of eighteen US Code Section

162
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: twenty three point eighty four seditious conspiracy. Now President Trump

163
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: posted its seditious behavior punishable by death, it actually isn't.

164
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: Seditious conspiracy is punishable by a maximum sentence of twenty

165
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: years in federal prison. Here is the statute in relevant part.

166
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: If two or more persons conspire to overthrow, put down,

167
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: or to destroy by force, the government of the United States,

168
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: or to levy war against them, or to oppose by

169
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder,

170
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: or delay the execution of any law of the United States.

171
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: They shall be fined under this Title or imprisoned by

172
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: not more than twenty years, or both. What this essentially

173
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: is is an incitement to a seditious conspiracy. What the

174
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: Senators and congress people did is not in and of

175
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: itself seditious conspiracy. If, however, they get members of the

176
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: military too actively thwart, or they get people within the

177
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: intelligence community to actively thwart or to oppose the government

178
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: of the United States, that would actually fall under seditious conspiracy.

179
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: What it actually very likely is, in a more direct sense,

180
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: is an incitement to insurrection. Now you might remember this

181
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: because Democrats were screaming about it in the days, weeks, months,

182
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: and years after January sixth. They said President Trump's speech

183
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: telling people to go and march and peaceably demonstrate at

184
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: the United States Capitol while members were certifying the results

185
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty election, that that was an incitement

186
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: to insurrection. This actually is, this actually is a call

187
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: for people within the intelligence community and military to oppose

188
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: the president if anyone does. That actually does rise to

189
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: the level of seditious conspiracy. Not only that this isn't

190
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: just idle talk. You might remember, of course, that the

191
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: intelligence community really did wage war against the incoming president

192
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: of the United States, first as a candidate, then as

193
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: an incoming president, then as the President of the United

194
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: States during his first term through the Russian collusion hoax.

195
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: The intelligence community, led by the FBI, knew very very quickly,

196
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: as evidenced by emails to and from and texts to

197
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: and from the guy who was heading the Russia collusion investigation,

198
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: Peter Struck, to his FBI attorney lover Lisa Page, indicating

199
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: to her that there was quote, no, they're there. They

200
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: knew very very quickly that this idea that the Russians

201
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: were attempting to install Trump as a sort of Manchurian

202
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: candidate president because they had so much compromand on him,

203
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: was nothing more than Hillary Clinton campaign oppo research that

204
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: was thoroughly debunked. They knew it was not true, but

205
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: they presented the so called Steele dossier to AFFISA Court

206
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: in order to essentially spy on the Trump campaign through

207
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: one of its associates by the name of Carter Page.

208
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: You might remember this entire affair. It didn't stop there

209
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: when Trump, against all odds, when the twenty sixteen presidential election,

210
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: FBI Director James Comey actually ran an op which was

211
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: apparently directed by the then President of the United States,

212
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, to get that Steel dossier into the media ecosystem.

213
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: So he called a meeting with Trump at Trump Tower,

214
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: where he presented evidence from the Steele dossier. He presented

215
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: it as obviously false to the president, meaning that he

216
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: knew from the very get go that none of the

217
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: allegations were true. What this allowed, though, was a newspeg

218
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: It allowed the news media reason to actually publish the

219
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: salacious details from that dossier, which BuzzFeed News did and

220
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the national press dutifully followed up on.

221
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: This consumed the transition period and the early days and

222
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: really even years of the Trump presidency. Of course, then

223
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: Attorney General Jeff Sessions named a special council. It took

224
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: years for said special counsel, Robert Muller, to determine what

225
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: the FBI knew from the very get go that there

226
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: was no truth to this whatsoever. That no one in

227
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: the United States, let alone Donald Trump or anyone working

228
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: for him, knew what the Russians were doing when they

229
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: were essentially buying Facebook ads and trying to just sow

230
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: the seeds of discontent and disunity in the United States.

231
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: This is what governments do to their political and geopolitical

232
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: foes constantly. The United States does it all the time.

233
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: This is just spycraft one oh one. But the point

234
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: was that Trump and nobody else had anything to do

235
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: with it all the while, while the media knew and

236
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: the FBI rather knew that there was no there there.

237
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: As Peter Struck said, James Coby was authorizing leaks to

238
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: the press. Struck, everybody involved in this, Andrew Weisman, everybody

239
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: involved was leaking to the press to try to get

240
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: Trump impeached. The entire point was to get him impeached

241
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: and removed from office. They knew that there was never

242
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: any chance that there would be a criminal charge or

243
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: criminal conviction, but if they could just get enough Republicans

244
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: to truly believe that the new president was a Russian stooge,

245
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 1: then they might be able to get him removed from office.

246
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: That is the dictionary definition of a seditious conspiracy. We

247
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: had one in the first Trump term, and now these

248
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: senators and congressmen are appearing to call for a second

249
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: one in the second Trump term. We will have much

250
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: more on this coming up in the Daily Trump Date

251
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: at four o'clock. One of my favorite Dem crazies is back.

252
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: We'll get to him coming up next. The governor who

253
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: renamed mothers inseminated persons has renamed the Christmas tree. Now

254
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: it's not the Holiday tree anymore. We will get to

255
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: that story from the Wisconsin Capitol coming up in just

256
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: a second. But ladies and gentlemen, whatever you call it,

257
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: I feel like I should put gifts around it today

258
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: because Christmas has come early for me. Ladies and gentlemen,

259
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: I know you know I love AOC. She is my heart.

260
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: She is my love. I didn't think anyone could be

261
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: dumber than her. Then along came Jasmine Crockett, and she

262
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: might have stolen my heart away from AOC. But over

263
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: the last decade, in the era of Trump, there is

264
00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: one Congressional representative who just consistently outdoes himself in his craziness.

265
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: You might remember him as the creepy old guy who

266
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: got thrown out of President Trump's address to the Joint

267
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: Session of Congress early in his term because he just

268
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: kind of got up and started screaming incoherently while shaking

269
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: his cane as Trump was speaking. He is Representative Al Green,

270
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: He is from Texas, and he is, once again, for

271
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: about the four hundred and eightieth time in President Trump's

272
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 1: two terms, today calling for impeachment, this time on the

273
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: steps of the US Capitol with the fellow group of

274
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: crazy Geriatrice.

275
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 6: The remedy that can make the difference and maintain the democracy,

276
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 6: and that remedy is impeachment.

277
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: Impeachment, of course it is. But this time, this time,

278
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: Representative Green is not stopping with impeach me. He says, no, no, no,

279
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: that is just the start. That's just the indictment. We

280
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: need to get a conviction, we need to get removal.

281
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 7: We cannot allow anything to get in the way of impeachment, conviction,

282
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 7: and removal. That's what this is about. Impeachment, conviction, and removal.

283
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: Now what is he planning on impeaching, convicting, and removing

284
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: the president from office?

285
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 6: For?

286
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 1: Well, it's not President Trump's call to execute all of

287
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: these senators and congressional representatives who were calling for an

288
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: insurrection against him. No, it's not for the ties to

289
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. I think, based on the only marginally coherent

290
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: press conference that Representative Green held today, that it has

291
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: something to do with redistricting and Trump trying to make

292
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: himself a king. Then again, when it comes to Representative

293
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: al Green, it doesn't really matter because as we put

294
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: together this compilation of all of the times that he

295
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,959
Speaker 1: has called for the impeachment of Donald Trump before it

296
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: can be for literally anything.

297
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 6: I rise to announce that I will bring articles of

298
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 6: impeachments against the President for destinately deeds proposed and destinately

299
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 6: deeds done. I'd denounced the comments that were made, and

300
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 6: I rise to announce that I will call for the

301
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 6: impeachment of the President of the United States of America.

302
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 6: Mister speaker, I rise to announce that I do not

303
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 6: approve of, nor do I support of, the notion that

304
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 6: we should have war by Twitter, that we should announce

305
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 6: that we are going.

306
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: To war with a tweet. What do you do when

307
00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: the leader of the free world is a racist?

308
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 6: You follow articles of impeachment.

309
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: Obviously, he wanted to impeach the president because President Trump

310
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 1: in his first term was calling out pro athletes who

311
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: were criticizing him, and Representative Green said that was racist

312
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: because President Trump was talking to and about the leader

313
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: of North Korea, Kim John Ung over Twitter. Now x

314
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: that called for impeachment and of course dastardly deeds proposed

315
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: and dastardly deeds done. Now never forget that President Trump

316
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: was in fact impeached twice during his first term. And

317
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: the second, I mean the second that Democrats retake control

318
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: of the House. And folks, I don't know if you've

319
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: been paying attention to the polls, but at this point

320
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: in an election cycle, they do start to get predictive, unfortunately,

321
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: and whereas about six seven months ago they showed basically

322
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: a fifty to fifty dead heat on the generic ballot,

323
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: Democrats are running away with this. And anybody who is

324
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: telling you that, well, the results of this past November's

325
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: election really don't matter because they were all in Democrat

326
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: states is whistling past the graveyard. Republicans have a big problem,

327
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: and it is in the area of affordability. Biden's inflation

328
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: was so bad that because Trump hasn't been able to

329
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: get it out of the system as quickly as any

330
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: of us would like. And remember, it takes usually about

331
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: a year for a president's full economic policy to be felt.

332
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: Biden was an exception to the rule because what he

333
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: did was so radically different. I mean, when you introduce

334
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: a trillion dollars of stimulus and massive government spending, of

335
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: course it's going to be inflationary immediately. And we saw

336
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: that as as soon as the stimmy checks hit people's hands.

337
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: We saw thirty and then forty or highs at inflation.

338
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: But in in normal times, it takes generally speaking a

339
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: full year for an economic agenda to sort of take

340
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: root in the nation's economy, and we're sort of seeing

341
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: that with respect to the tariff regime of a couple

342
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: of months ago. Don't look now, but there was a

343
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: very very good jobs report. I know the market took

344
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: a dump even in videos insane earnings yesterday beating even

345
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: the sky high expectations of the street by three percent

346
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: not enough to save it. Today, you're gonna see ups

347
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: and downs in the market. We have been up significantly

348
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: since Liberation Day in mid April. It takes a while

349
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: for this to take hold. But if Republicans don't get

350
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: serious about a the affordability crisis and it is a crisis,

351
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 1: and b figure out how to win when Trump is

352
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: not on the ballot, Democrats will reach take the House.

353
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: The math probably doesn't favor them in the Senate just

354
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: because of where there are openings and where there are

355
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: contested seats this cycle, but Democrats don't care about securing

356
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: a conviction in the Senate. They will impeach Trump just

357
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: to try to again derail his agenda, whether it's with

358
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, whether it's with today's narrative DuJour that he's

359
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: calling for Democrats to be executed in the street, Which

360
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: is hilarious to me that Democrats are upset about this

361
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: when we literally did have one of the pre eminent

362
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: conservative leaders killed in the streets just two months ago,

363
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: and pretty much every liberal on social media celebrated it

364
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 1: and called for even more violence against fascists. But these

365
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: people will take control. They will impeach Trump. Even someone

366
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: as obviously nuts as al Gore will be empowered to

367
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: bring impeachment articles. And it doesn't really matter what they

368
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: impeach him. Over held last time. In twenty nineteen, they

369
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: were planning to impeach over the Russia collusion scandal, but

370
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: then shockingly, the Special Council came back with an honest

371
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 1: report that totally exonerated Trump at his administration, in his

372
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: campaign and transition team. And they needed to figure out

373
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: something quick, so they seized on this Voladimir Zelensky phone

374
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: call in which Trump wanted to root out the obvious corruption,

375
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: which we now know was absolutely happening of Joe and

376
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. All right, what is Tony Evers calling the

377
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: Christmas tree? Now? That's next. Governor Evers is soliciting ornaments

378
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: for the state's Christmas tree. Oh wait, no, I'm sorry,

379
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. We haven't called it the Capitol Christmas Tree

380
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: in eight years. It's the Holiday tree, right, the Holiday Tree. Okay, okay,

381
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: you know it's a standard political correctness. Nonsense. Nope, this year,

382
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,959
Speaker 1: Governor Evers is simply calling the giant tree in the

383
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: middle of the Capitol rotunda the tree. It's that time

384
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: of year again, Evers tweeted today, we're getting ready to

385
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: decorate the tree in the Capitol. This year's theme is

386
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: the Learning Tree, So make sure to send in your

387
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: homemade ornaments celebrating the heroes who help our kids grow

388
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: and learn by November twenty first, that would be tomorrow.

389
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: I am imploring you, ladies and gentlemen, while you are

390
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: getting ready to submit your kid's musical performances for the

391
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell show Family Christmas Special coming up in a

392
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: little bit more than a month, I want you to

393
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: make them, have them make some homemade ornaments. Even if

394
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: it's just you. I want you to flood the Capital

395
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: Tree with heroes of education of ours, Charlie Kirk, Rush Limbaugh,

396
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: William F. Buckley, Heck, how about Scott Walker, the president

397
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: of the Young America's Foundation. So here's the thing, though,

398
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: I find it very ironic that this year's theme is

399
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: Learning Tree when national test scores revealed that Wisconsin's school

400
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: children are not actually doing any learning. Would you believe

401
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: that Wisconsin now ranks last in the nation in educating

402
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: African American kids. We have the single biggest racial achievement

403
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: gap in the United States of America, and in fact,

404
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: despite the efforts to hide poor student performance of all

405
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: races and all ethnicities by the Department of Public Instruction,

406
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: by unilaterally changing the way student test scores on the

407
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: state wide Forward Exam are graded. Everybody is doing far

408
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: worse under Governor Evers and DPI Secretary doctor Jill Underly.

409
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: Did you know, ladies and gentlemen, that we are already

410
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: in the holiday season. You know, Doug gone well that

411
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: Evers and his merry band of libs are not going

412
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: to celebrate Christmas per se. It's not a Christmas tree,

413
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: it's not a holiday tree. It is not an annual

414
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: winter themed gift giving holiday tree. It's just the tree.

415
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: Now I'm willing to wager, though, that they are celebrating

416
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: the first of the high Holy Days. No, not Thanksgiving.

417
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: A week from today. Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance.

418
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: This is not to be confused with the Transgender Week

419
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: of Awareness. Transgender Awareness Week actually started on November fourteenth

420
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: and concluded today with the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Now

421
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: you might be saying, hey, Dan, wait a second, Wait

422
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: a second, Wait a second, that's wrong, because March thirty

423
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: first is the International Transgender Day of Visibility. I remember

424
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: that because President Biden made a national declaration on the

425
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: same day of Easter Sunday. A couple of years ago.

426
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: You may be saying, Hey, Dan, Dan, wait a second,

427
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: Wait a second, Wait a second, It can't be transgender

428
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: Awareness Week that just you know concluded, because I distinctly

429
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: remember the last week of April is already Lesbian Visibility Week,

430
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: culminating with Lesbian Visibility Day. Well, dear listener, you would

431
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: be correct on all fronts. Would you believe that one

432
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one days of a calendar year are

433
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: currently dedicated to the LGBTQ plus minus exclamation point community.

434
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: February is LGBT History Month in a number of different cities, schools,

435
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: and states across the country, but the last week of

436
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: February is always a romantic spectrum awareness week, as in

437
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: people who apparently are not romantic or sexual at all.

438
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: They have an entire week. March thirty first, as I said,

439
00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: is the International Transgender Day of Visibility. April will have

440
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: the National Day of Silence. It will also feature Lesbian

441
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: Visibility Week and Visibility Day. May seventeenth brings us the

442
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: International Day against Homophobia, bi Phobia, and Transphobia. Two days later,

443
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: we have a Gender Pride Day on May nineteenth. That's

444
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: for people who don't have any gender whatsoever. May twenty

445
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: second is Harvey Milk Day, which is an official state

446
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: holiday in California, but observed across the country. Two days

447
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: after that, May twenty fourth it is pan Sexual and

448
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: pan Romantic Visibility Day. I guess you're sexually attracted to flatwear.

449
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what a pan sexual is. I don't

450
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: know those pots in the kitchen cabinet were looking awful

451
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: sexy the other day, But I have to keep my

452
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: pan sexuality in check. June, of course, is LGBTQ plus

453
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: minus exclamation point, ampersand Pride month, officially recognized by the

454
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: federal government since nineteen ninety nine. July brings US non

455
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: Binary Awareness Week, as well as on July fourteenth, we

456
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: have International non Binary People's Day. September has the week

457
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: concluding September twenty third bi Sexual Awareness Week. Now remember

458
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: that is not non Binary Awareness Week, because we already

459
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: had that in July. It is Bisexual plus Awareness Week,

460
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: culminating with September twenty third, which is Celebrate Bisexuality Day

461
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: or by Visibility Day. The entire month of October is

462
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: LGBTQ plus History Month. That is official in the United States.

463
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: Remember there's Pride Month, but then there's LGBTQ plus History Month.

464
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: There is also International Lesbian Day on October eighth, which

465
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: is not to be confused with Lesbian Visibility Day on

466
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:08,840

Speaker 1: Awareness Week, which remember is the last week of February.

474
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,200

00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: Visibility Day on May twenty fourth. They are so visible

482
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:26,799

Speaker 1: plus minus am Percan dollar sign year on December tenth

484
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:39,239

485
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: are one hundred and twenty one days of the calendar.

486
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: We are getting close to about forty percent of all

487
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: days in a given three hundred and sixty five day

488
00:35:52,960 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: year that are dedicated to LGBTQ plus visibility or awareness

489
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: or pride. With that many days, how could we not

490
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 1: be aware of them? And how could they not be visible?

491
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Dan o'donald Show. Will be right

492
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: back in just a second classical conservatism contemporary style. It

493
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: is the Dan o'donald Show, and it's time now to

494
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: name the unhinged liberal of the day.

495
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 5: We Nazi Germany.

496
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: Tough is dangerous because he's evil. You know, I'd love

497
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: to give it to Tony Ebers for calling our Christmas tree

498
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: not the holiday tree, but just the tree in Wisconsin's capital.

499
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: But come on, anytime this guy speaks, I am listening

500
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: and giggling. Today's unhinged liberal of the day is Al

501
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: Green announcing that he is going to impeach President Trump

502
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: again for reasons I don't really know the.

503
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 6: Remedy that can make the difference and maintain the democracy,

504
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 6: and that remedy is impeachment.

505
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: Impeachment. I just love that he's got a small army

506
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 1: of Jerry Atrix and other assorted losers. And by a

507
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: small army, I mean like seven or eight people. Al Green,

508
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: your unhinged liberal of the day, coming up after the

509
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,839
Speaker 1: top of the hour. It is your daily Trump date.

510
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: What was going on at the White House today? A

511
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: big day for jobs, but a down day on the market.

512
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: And do Wisconsin Democrats have a Jeffrey Epstein read Hoffman problem.

513
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: We'll get into that just in case you are wondering,

514
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, I am absolutely dead serious about asking

515
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: you to make your own handmade Rush Limbaugh, Charlie kirkhek

516
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Christmas ornaments and send them to governor vers

517
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: to put on the tree. We're no longer even pretending

518
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: it's a holiday tree of any kind. It is just

519
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: the tree. It hasn't been a Christmas tree in eight years.

520
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: You know, the giant pine tree inside the Capitol rotunda.

521
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: You know, we put trees out in our homes for

522
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: some reason. I mean some unspecified holiday we mark with

523
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: decorating trees, but this time it's the tree. Maybe next

524
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 1: year we can have a transgender Day of Visibility tree.

525
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:56,640

00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 3: big win for the United States.

557
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,520

00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 2: We're gonna win Moore.

559
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: First official snapshot of the US labor market following the

560
00:40:55,239 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: government shut down September jobs numbers released earlier today, one

561
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: hundred nineteen thousand jobs gained, beating analyst expectations of about

562
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: fifty thousand, at a sharp turnaround from the four thousand

563
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: jobs lost in August. Unemployment rate rose to four point

564
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: four percent now. Major stock indices today erased huge gains

565
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: in the morning, closed sharply lower today, a day after

566
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 1: Ai Darling Nvidia reported quarterly results above analysts loftiest expectations.

567
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: Stock markets were all Now, this is a day you

568
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: just pretty much don't want to take a look at

569
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: your retirement account. Suffice it to say, I am confident

570
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: it is going to bounce back. White House press briefing today,

571
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: and of course the press only wanted to talk about

572
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: President Trump's truth Social post responding to this video from

573
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: Democrats in Congress openly calling for military members to defy him.

574
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: You know what we used to call active inciting an insurrection.

575
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 2: This administration is pitting our uniform military.

576
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 3: And intelligence community professionals.

577
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: Against American citizens like us. You all swore an oath.

578
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 3: To protect and defend this constitution.

579
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: Right now, the threats to our constitution aren't just coming

580
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: from a broad but from right here at home.

581
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 2: Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.

582
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 3: You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders.

583
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 3: No one has to carry out orders that violate the law.

584
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 1: Or our constitution. In response to that, President Trump posted

585
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: on truth Social this morning, it's called seditious behavior at

586
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: the highest level. Each one of these traitors to our

587
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: country should be arrested and put on trial. Their words

588
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: cannot be allowed to stand. We won't have a country anymore.

589
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: An example must be set. He followed that up with

590
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: seditious behavior punishable by death. Caroline Levitt was asked about

591
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: that and actually got into it with CBS reporter Nancy Cordis,

592
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: who tried to play gotcha, claiming that this was the

593
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: same sort of violent rhetoric that the left has been

594
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: using for twelve years. Levitt put her in her place

595
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: pretty darn quickly.

596
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 8: This week we took the most decisive Charlie Kig just

597
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 8: follow up.

598
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 4: The President and the Vice president, for that matter, have

599
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 4: accused the other side of encouraging political violence. Isn't that

600
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 4: exactly what the president is doing when he says that

601
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 4: members of Congress should be killed?

602
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 5: Why aren't you talking about what these members of Congress

603
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 5: are doing to encourage it? In cite violence, they are

604
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 5: literally saying to one point three million active duty service

605
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 5: members not to defy the chain of command, not to

606
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 5: follow lawful orders, every single illegal order which they're suggesting.

607
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 5: They're suggesting, Nancy, that the president has given illegal orders,

608
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 5: which he has not. Every single order that is given

609
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 5: to this United States Military, by this Commander in Chief

610
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 5: and through this command chain of command through the Secretary

611
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 5: of War is lawful, and the courts have proven that

612
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 5: this administration has an unparalleled record at the Supreme Court

613
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 5: because we are following the laws. We don't defy court orders.

614
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 5: We do things by the books. And to suggest and

615
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 5: encourage that active duty service members defy the chain of

616
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 5: command is a very dangerous thing for sitting members of

617
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 5: Congress to do, and they should be held accountable. And

618
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 5: that's what the President wants to see.

619
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of violence against Democrats, youch Levitt just verbally

620
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: beat down poor Nancy Cortus. Meanwhile, Education Secretary Lena McMahon

621
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: at that briefing updated the press on what her department

622
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: has done to effectively take itself out of micromanaging education

623
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: in this country.

624
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 8: This week, we took the most decisive steps thus far

625
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 8: to make good on this promise to you. We have

626
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 8: linked six groundbreaking partnerships with other federal agencies to delegate

627
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 8: Education Department programs that are redundant with existing programs that

628
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:03,479
Speaker 8: labor state Interior. These neragency agreements to cut our own

629
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 8: bureaucratic bloat are a key step in our efforts to

630
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 8: shift educational authority from Washington, DC to your state education agency,

631
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 8: your local superintendent, your local school board, entities that are

632
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 8: accountable to you, and we encourage parents to.

633
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: Always be involved. Eliminating the Department of Education and returning

634
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: power to states and local school districts was one of

635
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: President Trump's key campaign promises when he was running last year,

636
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: that ladies and gentlemen, your daily Trump date. You'll notice

637
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: how quickly the Dems have moved off of Jeffrey Epstein.

638
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: It is my very strong suspicion that by the start

639
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: of next week's holiday news cycle, you are not going

640
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: to hear the name Epstein again. Why well, it was

641
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: revealed via text messages and emails by the Epstein estate

642
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 1: last week that Democrats had a much cozier relationship with

643
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: Epstein than Trump ever did. In fact, if you go

644
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 1: back and take a look at Epstein's political donations, eighty

645
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 1: nine percent are two Democrats that didn't stop one of

646
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: these single dumbest human beings who has ever gotten herself

647
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: elected to Congress, Jasmine Crockett, from getting up on the

648
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: floor of the House to accuse all manner of Republicans

649
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: including EPA administrator Lee Zelden, of taking donations from a

650
00:46:34,719 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. That was not the Jeffrey Epstein. It was

651
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: a poor doctor in New York with the same name,

652
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: doctor Jeffrey Epstein. Today on Caitlin Collins's show on CNN,

653
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: Well Representative Crockett tried to dig herself out of a

654
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: hole and somehow came across looking even worse. Ladies and gentlemen,

655
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 1: you simply have to hear this idiocy.

656
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 9: You mentioned the Leezelden there, he's now a cabinet secretary.

657
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 9: He responded and said it was actually a doctor Jeffrey Epstein,

658
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 9: who's a doctor that doesn't have any relation to the

659
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 9: convicted sex tracker. Unfortunate for that doctor, but that is

660
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 9: who do it into a prior campaign of his. Do

661
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 9: you want to correct the record on the people?

662
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 10: And I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein,

663
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 10: just so that people understand when you make a donation,

664
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 10: your picture is not there. And because they decided to

665
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 10: spring this on us in real time, I wanted the

666
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 10: Republicans to think about what could potentially happen because I

667
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 10: knew that they didn't even try to go through the FEC.

668
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 10: So my team what they did is they googled, and

669
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 10: that is specifically why I said a Jeffrey Epstein.

670
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 1: Hold On, hold on, I got to interrupt this. So

671
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: there's no picture next to the donat there is an address.

672
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: I do this all the time. It is very easy

673
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: to tell which person is which. This was very obviously

674
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 1: not the Jeffrey Epstein. But she keeps going to try

675
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: to explain, Well, her team only had twenty minutes to

676
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: google Jeffrey Epstein, so she figured, well, I might as

677
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: well just impugne a whole bunch of Republicans with the

678
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: wrong Jeffrey Epstein.

679
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 10: Anyway, I like Republicans, I at least don't go out

680
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 10: and just tell lies. She because it was not the

681
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 10: same one, that's fine. But when Lee Zelden had something

682
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 10: to say, all he had to say was it was

683
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 10: a different Jeffrey Jeffrey Epstein. He admitted that he did

684
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 10: receive donations from a Jeffrey Epstein. So at least I

685
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 10: wasn't trying to mislead people.

686
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 1: Does that's the definition of trying to mislead people. Now,

687
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: to Caitlin Collins's credit, she actually tries to get her

688
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: to correct the record and admit heror mistassan.

689
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 10: To find out who this doctor is. I have not,

690
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 10: so I will trust and take What he says is

691
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 10: that it wasn't that Jeffrey Epstein. But I was not

692
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 10: attempting to mislead anybody. I literally had maybe twenty minutes

693
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 10: before I had to do that debate.

694
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 9: Yeah, but people might see that say well, you're trying

695
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 9: to make it. Tell him like he took my from

696
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 9: I did not registered sex offender.

697
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 3: No, but I literally did not know when she did

698
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 3: not know.

699
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 1: But she said, hey, here's the Jeffrey Epstein. Weird that

700
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: he's got the title in his name, because I actually

701
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 1: looked up that Jeffrey Epstein and it is doctor Jeffrey Epstein.

702
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: If you go to OpenSecrets dot org to look up

703
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: federal campaign donations, his position is literally listed as doctor,

704
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: not you know, financier or perverse.

705
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 3: Search FEC files.

706
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 10: And that's what I had my team to do. I

707
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 10: text him and I say, listen, we're going up there

708
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 10: saying that she took donators, right.

709
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 9: But someone might say, well, your team should have done

710
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 9: the homework to make sure it wasn't the conveniens.

711
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 3: Within twenty minutes.

712
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 10: You could not find that out, not from just doing

713
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 10: a quick search on FEC so number one. I made

714
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 10: sure that I was clear that it was a Jeffrey Epstein,

715
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 10: but I never said that it was specifically that Jeffrey Epstein.

716
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 10: So because I knew that we would, we would need

717
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 10: more time to really dig Ah.

718
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, you would need more time to look at

719
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 1: the profession or address of a guy named Jeffrey Epstein.

720
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: So basically, if your name is Jeffrey Epstein, just know

721
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: that you will be used to bludgeon Republicans. This is

722
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: now the standard. If your name is jeff Dummer and

723
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: you donated to a Republican. Ever, we are going to

724
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 1: hammer Republicans because they support cannibalism. This honest to good.

725
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:34,240
Speaker 1: I think, ladies and gentlemen, AOC is officially no longer

726
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: the dumbest human being in Congress. Hearing that explanation, I

727
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: think made us all dumber. It's sort of like that

728
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: scene in Billy Madison. What you just said is the

729
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: most incoherent response I have ever heard. We are now

730
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: dummer for having listened to it. This is who Jasmine

731
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: Crockett is. This is who the Democrats are. They have

732
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: no no oh shame. They will never apologize, and they

733
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: will simply shoot a load of you know what on

734
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: the wall, hoping that you are not paying attention and

735
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 1: it somehow sticks. Now, do Wisconsin Democrats have a Jeffrey

736
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: Epstein problem of their own? Will use their own rules

737
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 1: to hammer them next? I forgot to mention with respect

738
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: to Jasmine Crockett's Jeffrey Epstein idiocy, the donations to Lee

739
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: Zelden came in in twenty twenty. Right, he's running for

740
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: what governor of New York twenty twenty. Epstein died in

741
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. How dumb can this woman possibly be welcome

742
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: back to the Dan O'Donnell show, Conservative thought, not just talk.

743
00:51:55,800 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: We have an exclusive window into just the sort of

744
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: jurist Chrissy Taylor is. It comes in the form of

745
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: a recommendation letter for Judge Lena Taylor from early last year.

746
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: I think this was January of twenty twenty four, in

747
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: which Taylor was applying to be appointed by Evers Judicial

748
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: Commission to the Milwaukee County Circuit Court, which he eventually was.

749
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: I have obtained that letter of recommendation and it is

750
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: I opening, although not especially surprising. We will break that

751
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: story coming up in the five o'clock hour here on

752
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell Show. Right now, does the Wisconsin Democrat

753
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: Party have a Jeffrey Epstein problem? According to federal and

754
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: state records, reed Hoffman, who is one of the biggest

755
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: Democrat donors in the country. He's a co founder and

756
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: the former executive chairman of linked In. He is a

757
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: venture capitalist, and he just gives mills millions and millions

758
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,640
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars to Democrats all across the country. Well,

759
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: since twenty twenty three, he's taken a keen interest in Wisconsin,

760
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 1: and since twenty eighteen he is given about eleven point

761
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: two three million dollars to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin

762
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty grand and twenty twenty three point

763
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:28,760
Speaker 1: six million dollars to support Liberal Supreme Court candidate Janet

764
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,720
Speaker 1: protest Seiwitz. The party, which received all three point six million,

765
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: transferred two point five million of that to her campaign

766
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four eight million dollars in Wisconsin legislative races

767
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's presidential campaign, the DPW Democratic Party of Wisconsin

768
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: raised a total of fifty seven million dollars fifty seven

769
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: million bucks in the twenty twenty four cycle. Reid Hoffman's

770
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 1: share of that was about fourteen percent. One guy this

771
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: year January to March of twenty twenty five, the only

772
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: months for which full records are available, it was two

773
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars in support of Susan Crawford's

774
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: Supreme Court bid. It is likely much more than that

775
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: the party transferred about two million bucks to Crawford in

776
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 1: that race. Reid Hoffman also went to Epstein Island. In

777
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 1: July of twenty thirteen. He met Epstein on the campus

778
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: of MIT to discuss potential donations to the MIT Media Lab.

779
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: Hoffman had served on the advisory board, but the following year,

780
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: plane logs reveal that he traveled to the island in

781
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: the Caribbean with Joy Ito, who is also with the

782
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: MIT Media Lab, for a weekend aimed at raising funds

783
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 1: for MIT. Now we know what was going on on

784
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:10,320
Speaker 1: Epstein Island at and around twenty fourteen.

785
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 6: This is.

786
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: It was called Pedo Island for a reason. Epstein's private

787
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: plane was called the Lolita Express for a reason. Now,

788
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: is there any evidence that Reid Hoffman got any quote

789
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 1: unquote massages from any of Jeffrey Epstein's girls. No, But

790
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: do you know who did not ever go to Epstein's

791
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: Pedo Island? Donald Trump? Guess what? The Wisconsin Democratic Party

792
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: has been dutifully hammering on since about mid July Donald

793
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:55,240
Speaker 1: Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, but one of their biggest donors,

794
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: a guy who gave him eleven million bucks, went to

795
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 1: Pedo Island. In December of twenty fourteen, emails show that

796
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: Hoffman was going to stay overnight at Epstein's mansion in

797
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: Manhattan after a late flight. It is not conclusive if

798
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: he ever actually did stay overnight. In August of twenty fifteen,

799
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: Hoffman hosted a dinner in Silicon Valley that Epstein attended,

800
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: so too did Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg. It was basically

801
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: a dinner for heavy hitters, and it was again designed

802
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 1: at getting funding for this MIT Media Lab. Newly released

803
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: emails from Epstein's estate, though, show Epstein was offering business

804
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 1: and personal advice to Hoffman as late as twenty seventeen.

805
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 1: This was not previously known. Now after Epstein died and

806
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: all of is the of his crimes were fully known.

807
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: Hoffman emailed Axios dot com saying the abuse described by

808
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's survivors as a boring, horrific and disgusting. My

809
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 1: few interactions with Jeffrey Epstein came at the request of

810
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: joy Eto for the purposes of fundraising for the MIT

811
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: Media Lab. Was it was that the extent of his

812
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: interactions with Jeffrey Epstein, because he's got more recent and

813
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: more consistent and more exclusive interactions with Epstein than Donald

814
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: Trump ever did. Trump I believe might have been on

815
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: the plane once because they went like with Trump's kids

816
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: from somewhere. This was long long ago. Never went to

817
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: the island. Trump never had a sleepover at Jeffrey Epstein's house.

818
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:06,600
Speaker 1: Reid Hoffman did. If Democrats were actually serious about Jeffrey

819
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: Epstein and his heinous crimes, would they not be rushing

820
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: to return at least a percentage of the money the

821
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: massive money that they raised from Reid Hoffman, who had

822
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: a strong relationship with Jeffrey Epstein as recently as apparently

823
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, when they were close enough that they're emailing

824
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: back and forth. Trumpet no ties to Jeffrey Epstein. In

825
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. But yet every Republican in America is because

826
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: of their association with Trump and Trump's supposed association with Epstein,

827
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: they are being crucified over this. But there is not

828
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: a single member of the media, not Dan Biss, not

829
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: any of the investigators at Fox six or TMJ four,

830
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: no one at the cap Times their investigative staff, which

831
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: just did excellent work on DPI. Are they going to

832
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: uncover any of the ties between Reid Hoffman, the sugar

833
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: daddy of the Wisconsin Democrat Party.

834
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 11: No.

835
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 1: Will the Democrats give a million dollars of reed Epstein's

836
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: dirty pedo money to the victims of Epstein or other

837
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: child sex trafficking rings. Of course they won't, because this

838
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: was never about child sex trafficking or actual outrage about

839
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes. It was all about the

840
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: most politically expedient bludgeon that they could find against Trump

841
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: and the Republicans. They finally found an attack that they

842
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: thought stuck. And it's notable that not a single Democrat

843
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 1: said anything, or tweeted anything, or posted anything, or wrote

844
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: anything about Jeffrey Epstein until exactly I can tell you

845
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: the exact moment they all started being obsessed with the

846
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein case. It was July seventh of this year.

847
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: Why because on July sixth, two days after the fourth

848
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: of July, Pam Bondi released the Epstein Files, which wasn't

849
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: actually a release of the Epstein files, and Democrats at hey,

850
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: wait a second, maybe Trump is covering something up. Let's

851
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: just assume that Donald Trump is guilty of every single

852
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: sex crime that Jeffrey Epstein was ever charged with. So

853
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: by that standard, can I just go out and willy

854
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: nilly accuse Reid Hoffman of sex crimes? No, of course

855
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: I can't. That's defamatory. But by Democrats standard, just the

856
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 1: association of Jeffrey Epstein is enough to make someone politically toxic.

857
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: Only when they're getting eleven million dollars from this politically

858
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: toxic person, who of course is not he is going

859
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: to continue funding. I'm willing to guess Chrissy Taylor is

860
01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: going to get another couple million bucks from Reid Hoffmann

861
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: billions in this upcoming cycle, and nobody's gonna say boo

862
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: about it because nobody ever puts pressure on Democrats to

863
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 1: live up to the exact same standards that they impose

864
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: on Republicans, no one will ever call them out. And

865
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: this is what is so corrupt. It is so thoroughly

866
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 1: rotten about not just media in this state but across

867
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: the country. If we're going to have a standard uphold it,

868
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: if we're going to have a saying, Oh, Dan, you

869
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 1: haven't talked at all about Donald Trope and Jeffrey Are

870
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: you joking me? I did an entire producer. Eric was

871
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: begging me to stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein. My listeners

872
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: were begging me to stop talking about Jeffrey Epstiny that

873
01:01:45,720 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 1: it's beaten to death, Dan, Dad, we went into such

874
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: granular depth on Jeffrey Epstein. I learned more about that

875
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: perv than I ever intended to, and we debunked pretty

876
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 1: much every lie, every myth. I have been talking fairly

877
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: consistently since Democrats made this a big issue. But of

878
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: course Jeffrey Epstein and reied Hoffman in the Wisconsin Democratic

879
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: is Janet prote s. What's ever going to get a

880
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: question about Jeffrey Epstein. It's what four point thirty four,

881
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: someone find her at a bar happy hour has just

882
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: opened up spin her around on her barstool if she's

883
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 1: still conscious and ask her justice protesce Seiwitz, will you

884
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: give back any of your Jeffrey Epstein money? Of course

885
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: she won't. Ask Devin Remicker if he can take a

886
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 1: break from frantically posting every time Derek van Orden does

887
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 1: something if he has not yet defecated in his pants

888
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: about the prospect of Mandela Barnes jumping into the Democratic

889
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: race for governor. And yes, by the way, I have

890
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: heard that this this announcement is still on for November.

891
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: I guess I would have thought that it would have

892
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: happened by now. It's probably not going to happen tomorrow.

893
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if he makes an announcement next week,

894
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: which is, you know, a couple of days before Thanksgiving.

895
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: Really everybody only is kind of tuned in on Monday

896
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 1: and Tuesday. Wednesday is a huge travel day. Most people,

897
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people anyway take off. I myself am

898
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: not taking off Wednesday this year. We're not going down

899
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: to Florida because we've had so much travel. We just

900
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: got back from Rome. We've got to go to Mexico

901
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 1: City for my youngest brother's wedding the week after Thanksgiving,

902
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: So I am going to be in on that Wednesday,

903
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: but most people aren't. Can we ask Devin Remicker if

904
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,959
Speaker 1: he is going to give back the dirty Reid Hoffman money,

905
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: and if it's not dirty Reid Hoffman money, then please

906
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: explain to me why Reid Hoffman's association with Jeffrey Epstein

907
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: is perfectly fine, but Donald Trump's association with Jeffrey Epstein,

908
01:03:57,400 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 1: which has been far better, Doc you mented and was

909
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 1: far longer in the past than Reid Hoffman, who, as

910
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: of eight years ago, is still email buddies with this

911
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: notorious perv. Someone please ask them what is in fact

912
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: the difference? Potentially devastating news for coverage of politics in Wisconsin.

913
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: We'll explain why coming up next. Number of people asking me, Dan,

914
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: how do I submit an ornament for Governor Evers. Don't

915
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: call it a Christmas tree, don't even call it a

916
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: holiday tree his tree? Well, according to the state, it

917
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: is you email or excuse me, you mail it to

918
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 1: Emily Gorman of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Department of Administration,

919
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: Division of Facilities and Transportation Services. For some reason, I'm

920
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 1: not exactly sure why. Let's see why this is a

921
01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:06,160
Speaker 1: little confusing. But Emily Gorman at the Wisconsin Department of Administration,

922
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: Division of Facilities and Transportation Services, I guess she covers

923
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: all the facilities in the capitol. Sure, I guess that

924
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 1: makes sense. Seventeen West Main Street, Suite one, nineteen, Madison, Wisconsin,

925
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: five three seven oh three. Now here's the thing. If

926
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 1: you make yourself an ornament, and they do have guidelines,

927
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: it needs to be made of non breakable materials four

928
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: to six inches in size, choose a color that contrasts

929
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 1: with the tree, and you need to attach a ten

930
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: inch loop of ribbon or string for hanging. Ornaments will

931
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:44,520
Speaker 1: not be returned. Now here's the thing, folks, you know

932
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: dog gone. Well, if you get your ornament, if you

933
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: get a rush Limbaugh ornament, or you get a Charlie

934
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: Kirk ornament or something like that, or a Wisconsin gop

935
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: ornament or a Dan o'donald ornament, you send it to

936
01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: Emily Gorman. That's going straight in the garbage. So here's

937
01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:04,720
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking. This tree is going to be up

938
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: through the holidays. Right, if you find yourself in Madison,

939
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: you find yourself near the state capitol, you've got business

940
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: that takes you up there. You just go up to

941
01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 1: that tree and you sneak an ornament on it. Ah.

942
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 1: Now I'm not saying vandalize it. I'm not saying take

943
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: down some kids ornament or something like that to put

944
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 1: yours up. I'm not saying that at all. But it

945
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: is your house, it is your tree, and they want

946
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:47,320
Speaker 1: to The theme here is honoring educators. It is the learning tree,

947
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:51,439
Speaker 1: honoring Wisconsin's educators and school staff. The exact same year

948
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: that we learn that educators and school staff, especially those

949
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: at the Department of Public Instruction, have been systematically covering

950
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:05,200
Speaker 1: up sexual abuse by educators and school staff for years.

951
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: Great timing there, tony way to go. But our teachers,

952
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 1: the people that have taught us a great deal, I

953
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 1: think we need to honor. And by the way, if

954
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: you can sneak a picture of your ornament, I will

955
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 1: absolutely feature it on my social media and I will

956
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: owe you a drink. If you can get a conservative

957
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 1: ornament on Governor Ever's inseminated person's tree, or heck, how

958
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 1: about an ornament making fun of Governor Evers making fun

959
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: of the inseminated person scandal something like that. You get

960
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 1: an ornament on that tree. I owe you a beer.

961
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 1: How about that. I'm going to get in trouble for

962
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: that one. I know it. Actually, I probably can't give

963
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 1: you anything of value, so forget that. But if I

964
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: see you and you you can show me proof that

965
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: you snuck an ornament onto Governor Ever's anti Christmas tree,

966
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: I may or may not buy you the next round.

967
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, just saying feeling. I'm feeling in a

968
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: generous spirit. I am in the Christmas spirit, ladies and gentlemen.

969
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:24,599
Speaker 1: A reminder, we do actually want you to submit your kids,

970
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: your grandkids singing a Christmas carol, performing a Christmas song

971
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:33,839
Speaker 1: on their instruments for our twenty twenty five Dan o'donald

972
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 1: Show Family Christmas Special. Could you imagine if it wasn't

973
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 1: a christ if I just said it's the Dan o'donald's special, Well,

974
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: what type of special, Dad, It's just the special. We're

975
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: honoring educators this year. What type of songs should they sing?

976
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 1: Learning songs? It's a learning special this year. Just call

977
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 1: it a Christmas tree. Why is that so hard? Why?

978
01:08:55,680 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: Like Jewish people, they have a menora that is the

979
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: symbol of honikkah. They understand Christmas tree is the symbol

980
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: of Christmas. Muslim people they have for I don't know

981
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: what's the symbol of tet. I have no idea they

982
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:20,560
Speaker 1: understand Christmas tree. Indian people, what is the symbol of dewali?

983
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 1: A brightly colored Sorry, I don't know they understand Christmas tree.

984
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 1: And it's not even the Christmas for a whole lot

985
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 1: of people, doesn't even have much of a religious connotation.

986
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:38,719
Speaker 1: So this long standing left wing paranoia about ever saying

987
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 1: anything that might have to do with Christianity and only Christianity,

988
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: I might add any other religious observance or celebration. Just fine,

989
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: Christianity knew it's the tree. Could you imagine if Governor

990
01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 1: Evers celebrated Hanukkah with well, it's the candles, decorate the candles,

991
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:06,080
Speaker 1: wear the little hat on your head while you decorate

992
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:13,480
Speaker 1: the candles. It's defensive. Now, Christians, who cares some potentially

993
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: really really really bad news for keeping people like Governor

994
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Evers and everyone in the state legislature accountable to you.

995
01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 1: Wisconsini wis i dot org is basically Wisconsin's c span.

996
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,800
Speaker 1: They will cover every session of the state legislature. They

997
01:10:34,840 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 1: cover committee hearings, They cover press conferences from the governor

998
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 1: and legislators. It is an invaluable service. Well, if you

999
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 1: go to wissi dot org right now, you will see

1000
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 1: a big notice a pop up that says, effective December fifteenth,

1001
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, Wisconsin I will stop event coverage due

1002
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 1: to a lack of funding. In addition, the video archive

1003
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 1: of more than thirty thousand hours of state government proceedings

1004
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: and related news conferences, candidate interviews, and other civic programming

1005
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 1: will go offline. Downloads will not be processed. Wisconsin I

1006
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: is an independent, not for profit service requiring private support.

1007
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: Programming will resume for one year when adequate funds are

1008
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 1: contributed to cover the network's twenty twenty six operational budget

1009
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: of eight hundred and eighty seven thousand dollars now. A

1010
01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 1: story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at jsonline dot com

1011
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 1: notes that the funding mechanism for Wisconsin I is rather insane.

1012
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:38,679
Speaker 1: According to jsonline dot com, the announcement comes after state

1013
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 1: lawmakers and Governor Tony Evers gave the network one more

1014
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 1: year to raise ten million dollars to receive the same

1015
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 1: amount in matching funds from taxpayers. To establish an endowment

1016
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 1: fund under a provision included in the twenty twenty five

1017
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 1: to twenty seven state budget signed in a law in July,

1018
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: Wisconsin I leaders failed to meet this same goal between

1019
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three and twenty twenty five. The new budget

1020
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 1: provision would provide the network with matching funds on a

1021
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: dollar by dollar basis instead of a lump sum once

1022
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 1: the total funds were raised. In addition to the matching funds,

1023
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 1: it provided two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in state

1024
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,760
Speaker 1: funds that network leaders do not have to match to

1025
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:26,720
Speaker 1: help the network cover operational costs. Okay, I'm I'm not

1026
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 1: quite understanding this. How is anyone supposed to raise ten

1027
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 1: million dollars in order to get ten million dollars in

1028
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 1: matching funds? Why isn't this just a budget priority now?

1029
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 1: Wisconsin I says it only needs a million dollars per

1030
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: year to do what it does, which actually seems rather low.

1031
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 1: Of all the stupid crap that we fund in Wisconsin,

1032
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:57,880
Speaker 1: why are we not funding the one thing that allows

1033
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: the public to see what state LIKEFS legislators are doing.

1034
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 1: I would consider this a highly necessary public service. This

1035
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 1: is this First of all, I use Wisconsin I all

1036
01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:14,479
Speaker 1: the time. Whenever you see sound clips or hear sound

1037
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 1: clips that I play on this show, or see video

1038
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 1: clips that I'll post on social media, it comes from Wisconsin. I.

1039
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: All of that goes away because the state is making

1040
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 1: Wisconsin I do something that seems to me to be impossible.

1041
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 1: How would you even raise ten million dollars? So the

1042
01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:39,679
Speaker 1: only way you get ten million dollars in matching funds

1043
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: from the state is if you raise ten million dollars

1044
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 1: on your own, so there is an endowment that's created

1045
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 1: that then you have twenty million dollars. You make roughly

1046
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 1: a million dollars in interest and dividend income. So it's

1047
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 1: sort of self perpetuating. I get that, But uh, you're

1048
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:02,919
Speaker 1: forcing them to raise ten million dollars in two years.

1049
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,640
Speaker 1: All right, If any state legislator is able to do that,

1050
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 1: raise ten million dollars for themselves, I'll say, go right

1051
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 1: ahead and force WISSI to do that. This seems to

1052
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 1: me like legislators and Governor Reavers don't want Wisconsin I

1053
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:27,920
Speaker 1: to be broadcasting their committee hearings and legislative sessions and

1054
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 1: things like that. Now, why might that be well, sunlight,

1055
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 1: as it were, is always the best disinfectant, is it not.

1056
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 1: Why don't we simply have a million dollars a year

1057
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: set aside for Wisconsin eye this This seems like the

1058
01:14:48,800 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 1: biggest no brainer of all. I just I don't understand

1059
01:14:54,520 --> 01:15:00,120
Speaker 1: why we need a twenty million dollar endowment. Why is

1060
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:04,679
Speaker 1: is not just budgeted for. If I'm in the state

1061
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: legislature and I'm Governor Evers to show my commitment to

1062
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:16,479
Speaker 1: open and transparent governance, I'm earmink A million dollars, ladies

1063
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, believe it or not, is nothing when it

1064
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:25,480
Speaker 1: comes to government spending, even state government spending. I mean, sure,

1065
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: if there's a wealthy donor out there who is willing

1066
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,679
Speaker 1: to pick up the cost for Wisconsin I that would

1067
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 1: be fantastic. And if you have eight hundred thousand dollars

1068
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,719
Speaker 1: or whatever it is that Wisconsin I needs eight hundred

1069
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:41,040
Speaker 1: and eighty seven thousand dollars, by all means, donate it.

1070
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: But this is a public service. This is something that

1071
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: is necessary to have an informed electorate. I realize there

1072
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:56,720
Speaker 1: aren't a whole lot of people who are sitting and

1073
01:15:56,760 --> 01:16:03,000
Speaker 1: watching gavel to gavel coverage of the Transportation Committee's hearing

1074
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:06,640
Speaker 1: on a random Tuesday. But people like me, people like

1075
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 1: reporters at the Journal Sentinel and the cap Times and

1076
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: the State Journal, we rely on Wisconsin I to be

1077
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:19,720
Speaker 1: able to cover because I physically can't be at the

1078
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: State Capitol covering this stuff. So I have to watch

1079
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: it either live broadcast through the site, or I have

1080
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: to go back and watch it later and then I

1081
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 1: report on what is going on. If I don't have

1082
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 1: the ability to do that, you aren't informed on what's

1083
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 1: going on at the state Capitol. You aren't informed about

1084
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: what your elected representatives are doing. And if I guarantee

1085
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: we're giving a million dollars to the transgender opera or

1086
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:52,600
Speaker 1: some similar stupid thing, folks, I'm going to have to

1087
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: demand here that we figure out a way to fund Wisconsin.

1088
01:16:55,479 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 1: I We'll be right back five o'clock hour on Dan

1089
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:04,640
Speaker 1: o'donald's show. Coming up in about a half hour or so,

1090
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 1: we will talk with Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald about anything

1091
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: and everything. Get an update about what's going on in

1092
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: Washington now that the government is reopened. Coming up in

1093
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:22,760
Speaker 1: just a second. An exclusive story that provides a tremendous

1094
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: amount of insight into who Supreme Court candidate Chrissy Taylor

1095
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: is and what kind of Supreme Court justice she would be.

1096
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 1: Before we get to that, though, it is that time

1097
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 1: of year again, as we are counting down not just

1098
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:51,320
Speaker 1: to Christmas, but to the sixth annual Dan o'donald Show

01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 1: we want to hear you performing a Christmas carol. Just

Speaker 1: At dd at iHeartMedia dot com, we can only take

1108
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: submissions via email. We cannot take them via text or

1111
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 1: multiple siblings, we would love to hear from all of

1112
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:52,679
Speaker 1: them together or separate entries. If they play the piano,

1113
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: if they play the ukuleleaf, they play the guitar, if

1114
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: they sing, whatever it is, take a video, send it

1115
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 1: to us as as soon as you can. Because we

1116
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:06,839
Speaker 1: are only taking submissions. I know I said before, folks

1117
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:10,759
Speaker 1: December fourteenth, I actually am going to have to revise

1118
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 1: that slightly. We are only going to be able to

1119
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 1: take them through December twelfth, simply because I do probably

1120
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: need a couple of weekends to just get everything together.

1121
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:25,759
Speaker 1: Put this show together, because it is going to debut

1122
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, December twenty third, at four o'clock PM, and

1123
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 1: then it is going to play throughout the day on

1124
01:19:35,080 --> 01:19:38,600
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on WISN as part of

1125
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 1: our special Christmas programming, which will also include classic radio

1126
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 1: plays like It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on thirty fourth Street,

1127
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 1: and a Christmas Carol starring John Barrymore as Scrooge. It

1128
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 1: is one of our favorite traditions here and we want

1129
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: your kids and your grandkids to be a part of it.

Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is coming up next week. Perfect opportunity to send

1135
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 1: your submissions to us at dood at iHeartMedia dot com.

1136
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: All right, you want to join the Dan O'Donnell show

1137
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:31,599
Speaker 1: on this It's final hour four one four seven, nine

1138
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 1: to nine eleven thirty or one eight hundred eight three

1139
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:38,759
Speaker 1: eight nine four seven six to an exclusive story. Now

1140
01:20:39,520 --> 01:20:44,200
Speaker 1: left winger Chris Taylor is running for the Supreme Court,

1141
01:20:45,320 --> 01:20:50,880
Speaker 1: and she has always been known as a political activist.

1142
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:55,719
Speaker 1: She got her start as the policy director at Planned

1143
01:20:55,800 --> 01:21:00,080
Speaker 1: Parenthood from two thousand and three to twenty eleven. In

1144
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, she got herself elected to the state legislature,

1145
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:08,599
Speaker 1: where she served until she got herself appointed to the bench.

1146
01:21:09,240 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 1: She served as a Circuit Court judge for several years

1147
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: before she ran unopposed in twenty twenty three to a

1148
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:21,559
Speaker 1: seat on the Court of Appeals. And pretty much ever

1149
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:24,679
Speaker 1: since she has been plotting to run for the State

1150
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:30,680
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Why because she's a political hack. She is

1151
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:35,839
Speaker 1: about the most political person we have ever had running

1152
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 1: for the Supreme Court. That's saying something because you have

1153
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 1: got four liberals on the bench who are about as

1154
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 1: political as they get. Janet Protess Sewitz spent the entire

1155
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:49,880
Speaker 1: campaign in twenty twenty three, telling you exactly how she

1156
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 1: was going to rule on decisions. Chris Taylor makes no

1157
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:57,080
Speaker 1: bones about the fact that she is and will be

1158
01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 1: a political actor, and I have the proof. I was

1159
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:07,919
Speaker 1: able to obtain a letter that she wrote recommending Lena Taylor,

1160
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 1: state senator at the time, to be appointed to the

1161
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 1: Milwaukee County Circuit Court. She wrote this on January ninth

1162
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 1: of last year, twenty twenty four, to Governor Ever's Judicial

1163
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 1: selection committee. She wrote, I want to thank you for

1164
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 1: your service on this committee, to which all of you

1165
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 1: have devoted substantial time and commitment. Now as you read this,

1166
01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:39,560
Speaker 1: remember that Taylor is not at this point a state legislator.

1167
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 1: She is not the public policy director of Planned Parenthood.

1168
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 1: She's not even a circuit court judge. She is a

1169
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: judge on the second highest court in Wisconsin, the Wisconsin

1170
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 1: Court of Appeals. We have the Circuit court level, we

1171
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 1: have the Court of Appeals level, and then we have

1172
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. She is a jurist, and at this

1173
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 1: point she has been a jurist since twenty twenty. She

1174
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:05,679
Speaker 1: took the seat that was actually vacated by Supreme Court

1175
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,720
Speaker 1: Justice Jill Kurowski when she won a seat on the

1176
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. So she's a judge. Now. I want you

1177
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:19,879
Speaker 1: to pay close attention to what she recommends about Lena Taylor.

1178
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 1: I write this letter in strong support of Lena Taylor's

1179
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:30,599
Speaker 1: application for an appointment to the Milwaukee County Circuit Court.

1180
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 1: I believe that she has the legal experience, two decades

1181
01:23:36,160 --> 01:23:42,639
Speaker 1: of invaluable legislative experience, and a lifetime commitment to effectuating

1182
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:47,360
Speaker 1: social change and equity that make her a very unique

1183
01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: and special candidate. Notice, there's no mention of impartiality, of fairness,

1184
01:23:57,080 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 1: of legal acumen. It's all about affecting social change. Now

1185
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:05,639
Speaker 1: she goes on. I first met Senator Taylor in two

1186
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:07,680
Speaker 1: thousand and three after she had been elected to the

1187
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:11,439
Speaker 1: State Assembly by her hometown of Milwaukee. I was then

1188
01:24:11,520 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: the public policy director for Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin. There

1189
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 1: was no legislator with whom I worked who was more

1190
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 1: committed to reproductive rights and justice than Lena Taylor as

1191
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 1: a person, a state representative and now a state senator.

1192
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,720
Speaker 1: This is the key passage which I have highlighted on

1193
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 1: social media so you can read this for yourself and

1194
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 1: share it. She was and continues to be relentless in

1195
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 1: her advocacy, authoring and sponsoring of proactive reproductive health and

1196
01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:54,720
Speaker 1: justice bills, and an outspoken public advocate for these rights.

1197
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 1: To say her commitment is needed now more than ever

1198
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 1: in public service and and in the judiciary is an

1199
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:13,640
Speaker 1: understatement advocacy for reproductive rights i e. A set political

1200
01:25:13,760 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 1: position i e. Tipping the scales in favor of one

1201
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: particular party that might become before Judge Taylor, to say

1202
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,599
Speaker 1: her commitment is needed now more than ever in public

1203
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 1: service and in the judiciary is an understatement her commitment

1204
01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 1: to advocacy. She has been relentless in her advocacy of

1205
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: proactive reproductive health and justice bills. That is the exact

1206
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 1: opposite of what a judge is. A lawyer is an

1207
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 1: advocate a lawyer. In our system of justice, we have

1208
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 1: an adversarial system of justice in which there are two

1209
01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:00,760
Speaker 1: sides that go against each other in a court of law,

1210
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:05,000
Speaker 1: and the judge serves as the unbiased mediator of the

1211
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 1: disputes to try to get as best as they are

1212
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:12,679
Speaker 1: able to ascertain the truth as it is presented by

1213
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:16,040
Speaker 1: the two sides. Both sides have variations of the truth.

1214
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:20,560
Speaker 1: They make an argument in support of their clients, advocating

1215
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:24,040
Speaker 1: on the client's behalf, the judge does no advocacy. If

1216
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 1: a judge does advocacy, the judge is doing a disservice

1217
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 1: to the system of justice. But apparently that doesn't matter

1218
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 1: because for the last three State Supreme Court elections we

1219
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:39,120
Speaker 1: have put outspoken advocates on the court, and I guess

1220
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 1: this is what people in Wisconsin apparently want. But this

1221
01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:47,519
Speaker 1: is proof positive, as if you needed any proof, that

1222
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 1: Chris Taylor is and will forever be nothing more than

1223
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:57,280
Speaker 1: an advocate for whatever her preconceived political beliefs are. She

1224
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 1: will be an advocate for Democrats. She believes that Lena

1225
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 1: Taylor is qualified for the bench because she advocated for

1226
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:09,479
Speaker 1: the things that Chris Taylor supported. There is no reason

1227
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 1: to believe that if a Republican ever comes before Chrissy Taylor,

1228
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:17,439
Speaker 1: they will ever be treated fairly. Why because Chrissy Taylor

1229
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:21,559
Speaker 1: was first an advocate for planned parenthood, a stated enemy

1230
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:24,000
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party, and then she was a member

1231
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:28,840
Speaker 1: of the Wisconsin Assembly as a Democrat, the stated enemy

1232
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party. Incidentally, I have my own personal

1233
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,040
Speaker 1: Chrissy Taylor's story to tell you just what kind of

1234
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 1: an advocate she is. A remarkably uninformed one. Years and

1235
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 1: years ago, I testified before the state legislature on what

1236
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 1: was it I was testifying before? Was it blood on

1237
01:27:56,880 --> 01:28:00,160
Speaker 1: the blackboard? And I testified on that one. No, I

1238
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 1: testified on it was my reporting on irregularities in the

1239
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:13,599
Speaker 1: twenty twenty presidential election. Sitting on that committee. That asked

1240
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:17,400
Speaker 1: me a couple of questions, well, didn't directly ask me,

1241
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:23,800
Speaker 1: was none other than Chrissy Taylor. Chrissy Taylor was so

1242
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: staggeringly uninformed about whatever she was asking that I actually

1243
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:34,959
Speaker 1: stopped and asked her, did you read anything I reported?

1244
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:38,120
Speaker 1: Did you read any of the materials before the hearing?

1245
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:41,759
Speaker 1: She snapped at me, because that's the type of person

1246
01:28:41,800 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 1: that Chrissy Taylor is, and informed me that she did

1247
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:50,639
Speaker 1: not have to. Well, I said, you might ask smarter

1248
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 1: questions if you did. That did not sit well with her.

1249
01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:59,160
Speaker 1: So I'm taking a while guess that she does not

1250
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 1: like me very much because I did my level best

1251
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:06,360
Speaker 1: to embarrass her for her lack of knowledge. There is nothing,

1252
01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:10,880
Speaker 1: There is nothing that would suggest you know what. Now

1253
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:12,400
Speaker 1: that I think about it, I think it was the

1254
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:17,720
Speaker 1: blood on the blackboard time that I testified, Yeah, I

1255
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:20,760
Speaker 1: think it was because she was like in and out.

1256
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 1: She's like, well, I have another hearing that I've got

1257
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,719
Speaker 1: to get to and just made a big fuss about

1258
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 1: walking out while I testified, And just I mean, she's laughable,

1259
01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:36,519
Speaker 1: like she is honest to goodness, laughable in the lack

1260
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 1: of institutional knowledge that she brings to pretty much anything.

1261
01:29:40,320 --> 01:29:43,240
Speaker 1: And in fact, if she wants to come on this

1262
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 1: program and refute anything I said, I would love to

1263
01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: have her. I would love to have Chrissy Taylor on

1264
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 1: to debate judicial philosophy. Now, lots smarter people than her

1265
01:29:56,680 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 1: have turned me down, which is kind of odd because

1266
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm just a presumably stupid conservative radio host. It is

1267
01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:08,479
Speaker 1: weird though, how at one point, at one point, Producer Eric,

1268
01:30:08,520 --> 01:30:12,120
Speaker 1: I think this is before you joined the show. I

1269
01:30:12,240 --> 01:30:17,000
Speaker 1: actually resorted to promising to Venmo fifty bucks to any

1270
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:20,360
Speaker 1: liberal that dared to be able to actually debate me

1271
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:23,600
Speaker 1: on the air debate style rules. I wasn't allowed to

1272
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 1: interrupt you. You're not allowed to interrupt me. You remember

1273
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:29,400
Speaker 1: when we had that left wing talk show host from

1274
01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:33,880
Speaker 1: where was it, Schaboygan or something like that. Appleton one

1275
01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:36,840
Speaker 1: of the two, and I was trying so hard to

1276
01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:40,559
Speaker 1: be nice because he's a younger guy. But he's so

1277
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:45,840
Speaker 1: thoroughly embarrassed himself that I don't even think he remembered

1278
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:50,800
Speaker 1: what it was that he was initially arguing. But the

1279
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:55,880
Speaker 1: point is that someone like me, my job is to argue.

1280
01:30:56,280 --> 01:31:01,360
Speaker 1: I advocate for a particular point of view as a

1281
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:07,080
Speaker 1: state legislator. Chrissy Taylor advocated poorly for a particular set

1282
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:11,920
Speaker 1: of views as a judge. She believes that the highest

1283
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,320
Speaker 1: best thing of this is the very first thing she

1284
01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:17,680
Speaker 1: wrote about Lena Taylor. She will be great because she

1285
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:21,479
Speaker 1: is a tireless advocate for the things that I believe

1286
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 1: her advocacy. Boy, what a window into the soul of somebody,

1287
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:34,280
Speaker 1: and what a window into their judicial philosophy that is,

1288
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:38,000
Speaker 1: And that sort of at its heart is I think,

1289
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:40,960
Speaker 1: what's wrong with the judiciary itself? By the way, do

1290
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:44,799
Speaker 1: you realize we had a federal judge decide today, actually

1291
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,960
Speaker 1: within the last couple of hours, that President Trump is

1292
01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:51,640
Speaker 1: not allowed to have federal troops in Washington, d C.

1293
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 1: That's hilarious. He rather obviously is there is nobody who

1294
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:03,559
Speaker 1: disputes the fact that the President and the Congress retain

1295
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:06,680
Speaker 1: control of Washington d C. The only reason d C

1296
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:11,040
Speaker 1: has its own mayor and council is because Congress allows

1297
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:16,400
Speaker 1: it to the idea that somehow Trump is not allowed,

1298
01:32:16,439 --> 01:32:20,839
Speaker 1: as the chief executive of the United States and its capital, Washington,

1299
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:26,240
Speaker 1: d C, to be able to deploy federal forces to

1300
01:32:26,479 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 1: support law enforcement in Washington d C is a lappable proposition. Naturally,

1301
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 1: Jurists like Lena Taylor and Chris Taylor are Yeah, Lina

1302
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:41,040
Speaker 1: Taylor and Chris Taylor, no relation. Rather, obviously they don't

1303
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:46,720
Speaker 1: agree with that because they don't actually understand the Constitution

1304
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:49,840
Speaker 1: or the application of law and facts to a given

1305
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 1: set of circumstances, the you know, actual practice of law,

1306
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:59,559
Speaker 1: the actual finding of fact at law, the actual job

1307
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:07,200
Speaker 1: of ajudge. They believe, as evidenced by this recommendation letter.

1308
01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:11,639
Speaker 1: They believe that, however, they need to get to the

1309
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:16,960
Speaker 1: desired conclusion that their advocacy supports, they will do because

1310
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:21,919
Speaker 1: that's the role of an advocate. They will, in other words,

1311
01:33:22,479 --> 01:33:26,479
Speaker 1: decide on a conclusion and then fill in the facts

1312
01:33:26,520 --> 01:33:30,800
Speaker 1: to and fill in the laws to get to that conclusion.

1313
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:38,200
Speaker 1: That's what advocacy is. Should anybody be surprised by this?

1314
01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:42,240
Speaker 1: Am I pretending that this is some great revelation that

1315
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:45,479
Speaker 1: I've had in this exclusive story that oh wow, hey,

1316
01:33:45,880 --> 01:33:51,760
Speaker 1: Chrissy Taylor is a political hack? Whoa color me shocked now?

1317
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:59,000
Speaker 1: But it is the truth. Chrissy Taylor is a political

1318
01:33:59,280 --> 01:34:04,080
Speaker 1: hack and she would bring that hackishness to the Supreme Court.

1319
01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:08,320
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Dan O'Donnell show. It is conservative thought,

1320
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:16,600
Speaker 1: not just dumb advocacy and talk. Letter of recommendation from

1321
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:21,000
Speaker 1: Appellate Court judge and Supreme Court candidate Chrissy Taylor for

1322
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:24,760
Speaker 1: Lena Taylor to be named a Circuit Court judge, which

1323
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:30,599
Speaker 1: she was, That shows that Chrissy Taylor. She praised Lena

1324
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:34,360
Speaker 1: Taylor's advocacy. She said, Okay, Lina will be a great

1325
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:38,480
Speaker 1: judge because she is a tireless advocate for the political

1326
01:34:38,920 --> 01:34:44,000
Speaker 1: positions that I support, namely support for planned parenthood and abortions, which,

1327
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,479
Speaker 1: of course is they don't even bother calling it women's

1328
01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:51,800
Speaker 1: reproductive health anymore. They've got a new euphemism now, it's

1329
01:34:51,840 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 1: reproductive rights. Reproductive rights. It's obvious who Chrissy Taylor is.

1330
01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:07,160
Speaker 1: Tavia is who she always has been. This, ladies and gentlemen,

1331
01:35:07,520 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 1: is why I am not going to stop demanding that

1332
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:17,200
Speaker 1: the Maria Lazarre campaign actively talk about the issues that

1333
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:23,479
Speaker 1: people care about. Conservatives have long pretended deluded themselves really

1334
01:35:23,520 --> 01:35:27,840
Speaker 1: into believing that judicial elections were not actual elections. These

1335
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:33,639
Speaker 1: are partisan positions. Let's stop diluting ourselves. Janet Protecewit's made

1336
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:37,240
Speaker 1: a mockery of the Code of Judicial Conduct nearly three

1337
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:41,639
Speaker 1: years ago by openly talking about exactly how she would

1338
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:45,000
Speaker 1: rule on every single significant case that would go before

1339
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:50,759
Speaker 1: the State Supreme Court. Did she recuse herself? She said,

1340
01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. And everybody loves my

1341
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:56,759
Speaker 1: impression of Janet protece which when she said her most

1342
01:35:56,840 --> 01:36:01,720
Speaker 1: famous catchphrase, the maps are rigged, I don't even know

1343
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:04,760
Speaker 1: why I do that. For the Janet proto Siwitz impression,

1344
01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:08,080
Speaker 1: it sounds nothing like her. If I was doing an

1345
01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:13,040
Speaker 1: accurate Janet Protocewitz impression, there would be a lot more hiccupping.

1346
01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 1: If you catch my drift. She told you exactly how

1347
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:22,120
Speaker 1: she was going to run. I'm not saying that that

1348
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:25,759
Speaker 1: Marie Lazar or any other candidate for that matter, should

1349
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:30,080
Speaker 1: do that, but to pretend that the liberals you are

1350
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:34,679
Speaker 1: running against are not making open promises to their voters

1351
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:39,760
Speaker 1: on how exactly they are going to rule on everything

1352
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:43,599
Speaker 1: that could potentially come before the court, you are kidding yourself,

1353
01:36:43,720 --> 01:36:45,840
Speaker 1: and you are going to lose. You are going to

1354
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:52,160
Speaker 1: lose by another double digit margin if you keep running

1355
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:58,280
Speaker 1: the elections of the past. For about fifty thousand different

1356
01:36:58,320 --> 01:37:01,759
Speaker 1: reasons that I have outlined ever since the Spring election,

1357
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:09,599
Speaker 1: Conservatives in Wisconsin are behind the eight ball every time

1358
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 1: there's not a presidential election. I wish it wasn't like that.

1359
01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:16,480
Speaker 1: I think the number one challenge we face is demographic,

1360
01:37:17,360 --> 01:37:19,960
Speaker 1: and that is simply a whole lot of conservative voters

1361
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:24,920
Speaker 1: have left the state for places like Florida. We also

1362
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:29,719
Speaker 1: face a big problem with Madison growing by leaps and bounds,

1363
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:35,360
Speaker 1: primarily because a you have got businesses going in there,

1364
01:37:35,720 --> 01:37:38,439
Speaker 1: but also because all of the people who at one

1365
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:42,400
Speaker 1: point would leave the University of Wisconsin Madison and go

1366
01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 1: to say, Silicon Valley or New York City for a job,

1367
01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:47,720
Speaker 1: are able to stay there because of the rise of

1368
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:51,519
Speaker 1: telework following the COVID nineteen shutdowns, They're still able to

1369
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:54,639
Speaker 1: stay in Madison. They're still able to stay in their

1370
01:37:54,680 --> 01:38:04,320
Speaker 1: exact same apartments. It's a big issue. But if conservative

1371
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:08,080
Speaker 1: candidates are not going to talk about the issues, and

1372
01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:12,280
Speaker 1: they are not going to explain exactly who they are,

1373
01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 1: exactly what they believe in the exact same manner that

1374
01:38:16,200 --> 01:38:18,160
Speaker 1: liberals have been doing for years, we are going to

1375
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:23,479
Speaker 1: continue to lose these races. We just are. I'm glad

1376
01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:27,840
Speaker 1: I have seen the Lazarre campaigns start to do that,

1377
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 1: and hopefully as we head into the cycle starting in January,

1378
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 1: really people are saying, well, I haven't seen a whole

1379
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:39,040
Speaker 1: lot of ads for Marial Azar. I haven't seen a

1380
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:41,800
Speaker 1: whole lot of ads for Chrissy Taylor. It's because it's

1381
01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:44,599
Speaker 1: stupid to spend. Now people are starting to get into

1382
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:47,840
Speaker 1: the holiday spirit. It's generally considered as soon as the

1383
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 1: holidays are over, what is I know New Year's Day

1384
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:53,600
Speaker 1: is on a Thursday, so pretty much everybody is going

1385
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:58,479
Speaker 1: to take off. The second January fifth is probably that Monday.

1386
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 1: That's when people are really going to start focusing on

1387
01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:05,920
Speaker 1: this race. That's when you're gonna have to see an

1388
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:09,960
Speaker 1: ad barrage. You are going to have to see Maria

1389
01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 1: Azar talking about I mean, I don't know what exactly

1390
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:16,760
Speaker 1: you can say. The biggest issue is going to be

1391
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:22,640
Speaker 1: the economy, and it's going to be affordability, is my prediction.

1392
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:25,800
Speaker 1: It's my very strong belief. I don't know how exactly

1393
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 1: she's going to be able to talk about that as

1394
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:31,000
Speaker 1: a judge. But talking about crime, talking about you talk

1395
01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:35,160
Speaker 1: about a ready made issue for a conservative judicial can

1396
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:39,800
Speaker 1: You've got a South American burglary ring running roughshod over

1397
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:43,840
Speaker 1: the people of Mechwan. All the Libs who moved out

1398
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:48,000
Speaker 1: to Mechwan are suddenly getting a taste of what their

1399
01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:55,080
Speaker 1: pathetic immigration policy preferences hath wrought. And while I'd love

1400
01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:59,080
Speaker 1: to say the irony there is just too delicious. These

1401
01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:03,320
Speaker 1: are innocent people getting targeted by illegal alien South American

1402
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:07,679
Speaker 1: criminal gang members. You need to be out in front

1403
01:40:07,680 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 1: of that talking about the need to deport the people

1404
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:15,680
Speaker 1: who are committing crimes in this country, about how you

1405
01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:19,080
Speaker 1: are going to stand for the rule of law. You

1406
01:40:19,120 --> 01:40:22,160
Speaker 1: are going to stand with President, but you are not

1407
01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:24,439
Speaker 1: going to be like one of these federal judges who

1408
01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:29,400
Speaker 1: just sort of invents and perverts the law and the

1409
01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:32,760
Speaker 1: constitution to get to a specific policy preference to get

1410
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:36,400
Speaker 1: a temporary injunction against Trump, knowing full well you're going

1411
01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:38,680
Speaker 1: to be struck down on appeal, but in the meantime

1412
01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:41,880
Speaker 1: you will enjoin the Trump administration from doing whatever it

1413
01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:44,720
Speaker 1: is it wants to do. You need to stand against that.

1414
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:48,880
Speaker 1: You need to say to the people of Wisconsin, I

1415
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:54,160
Speaker 1: am going to stand with you. Just talking esoterically about

1416
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:57,679
Speaker 1: the constitution and the rule of law does not work.

1417
01:40:58,240 --> 01:41:02,600
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we will talk Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald.

1418
01:41:02,640 --> 01:41:06,400
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan O'Donnell Show, Classical Conservatism

1419
01:41:06,600 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 1: Contemporary Style. Welcome back. We are pleased once again to

1420
01:41:12,439 --> 01:41:18,040
Speaker 1: be joined live on the phone by Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald. Sir,

1421
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:21,679
Speaker 1: hope you are enjoying being back to work.

1422
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:26,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, we're back in the groove. We're back out DC

1423
01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:31,720
Speaker 11: and it has been actually refreshing to kind of roll

1424
01:41:31,760 --> 01:41:34,680
Speaker 11: up your sleeves and get back to doing some of

1425
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 11: the things that we're specifically kind of focused on in

1426
01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:43,400
Speaker 11: the committee work, and we were able to accomplish a

1427
01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:46,280
Speaker 11: lot of that so far this week. So we're back

1428
01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:49,519
Speaker 11: in kind of a forward leaning posture, if you will.

1429
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:53,880
Speaker 1: One of the big things that I think needs to

1430
01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:57,479
Speaker 1: be the focus of the remainder of this legislative session.

1431
01:41:57,479 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 1: And I know we immediately after the holidays get into

1432
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:05,639
Speaker 1: an election cycle, but before the midterms, which admittedly are

1433
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:08,919
Speaker 1: not looking great for Republicans if you're to believe generic

1434
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:13,519
Speaker 1: ballot polling right now, which I will remind our listeners

1435
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:16,800
Speaker 1: starts to get rather predictive at about this point in

1436
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,599
Speaker 1: a president or excuse me, in a midterm election cycle,

1437
01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:23,520
Speaker 1: the big issue is affordability. Well, Democrats have been attempting

1438
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:28,639
Speaker 1: to distract with the Jeffrey Epstein stuff that suddenly gave

1439
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:32,240
Speaker 1: a way to this kocamanny idea that President Trump wants

1440
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:38,759
Speaker 1: to execute Democrat congressional representatives in the streets today. What

1441
01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:43,800
Speaker 1: is the Congress doing on the issue of affordability, because

1442
01:42:43,840 --> 01:42:47,360
Speaker 1: I think that's really going to be the thing that

1443
01:42:47,560 --> 01:42:49,599
Speaker 1: impacts people's votes next year.

1444
01:42:51,760 --> 01:42:55,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean what we saw in the elections that

1445
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:58,400
Speaker 11: you know, we're held in blue states and a lot

1446
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:01,360
Speaker 11: of people have kind of reminded me of that. So

1447
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 11: I am trying to not get overly excited about a

1448
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:11,120
Speaker 11: very specific, limited amount of electorate that weighed in on

1449
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:16,960
Speaker 11: that evening. But there absolutely has been issues related to

1450
01:43:18,200 --> 01:43:22,080
Speaker 11: the cost of living, and you know, you can blame

1451
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:24,200
Speaker 11: a lot of it on the Biden administration, and I

1452
01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:27,880
Speaker 11: think there is a huge hangover from from what the

1453
01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:32,479
Speaker 11: Biden administration left for us, and President Trump has been

1454
01:43:32,520 --> 01:43:36,960
Speaker 11: aggressive obviously on many different fronts in trying to address this,

1455
01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:41,120
Speaker 11: but it absolutely is something that you know, still lingers

1456
01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:44,400
Speaker 11: because I think there's a lot of Americans that you know,

1457
01:43:44,439 --> 01:43:46,680
Speaker 11: they see the price of gas, or they see the

1458
01:43:46,680 --> 01:43:50,040
Speaker 11: price of eggs come down, or they see specific items

1459
01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:56,040
Speaker 11: related to that, but there's big, bigger, overarching issues specifically

1460
01:43:56,080 --> 01:43:59,640
Speaker 11: related to housing, and that's driving a lot of the

1461
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:01,519
Speaker 11: numbers that we're seeing. And even though we got some

1462
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:05,200
Speaker 11: good job numbers today, you know, when I talk to

1463
01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:08,760
Speaker 11: people about the specific trains and the impact on them,

1464
01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:13,040
Speaker 11: I mean, there's still a correlation between, you know, just

1465
01:44:13,200 --> 01:44:16,160
Speaker 11: not enough to kind of have the economy rolling at

1466
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:18,760
Speaker 11: one hundred percent. So I think it's definitely something we

1467
01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:22,280
Speaker 11: can't continue to ignore. Certainly, we got to keep our.

1468
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:25,519
Speaker 1: Eye on it all along. Do you support the idea

1469
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:29,960
Speaker 1: of a fifty year mortgage, which the Trump administration seemed

1470
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:32,599
Speaker 1: to put out in a trial balloon a week or

1471
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:36,720
Speaker 1: so ago, or portable mortgages or things like that.

1472
01:44:39,120 --> 01:44:41,000
Speaker 11: The fifty year mortgage is ridiculous.

1473
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 1: Now I don't support it at all.

1474
01:44:42,320 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 11: It's not significant. The portable thing is a little bit

1475
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 11: different concept that has kind of gained some momentum. I

1476
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:55,880
Speaker 11: think is more people understand kind of you know, how

1477
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:59,240
Speaker 11: it would be used. I think it's difficult to see

1478
01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:03,000
Speaker 11: how it's applic because we've been so ingrained to think

1479
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:08,599
Speaker 11: about the thirty year mortgage, and everyone, you know, going back,

1480
01:45:08,720 --> 01:45:12,599
Speaker 11: generation after generation has been engaging. You know, you pay

1481
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:14,400
Speaker 11: off your home, it's a big day in your life.

1482
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 11: But yeah, no, there are some things that I think

1483
01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:23,080
Speaker 11: absolutely could be changed on that front. One is square

1484
01:45:23,120 --> 01:45:25,320
Speaker 11: footage that needs to come down. And you you know,

1485
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:29,559
Speaker 11: if you had any local builder in southeastern Wisconsin, they

1486
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:32,479
Speaker 11: can tell you the same thing. The costs associated with

1487
01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 11: underground and everything that needs to be developed for a

1488
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:39,360
Speaker 11: new sub division Wisconsin still as outrageous. I thought that

1489
01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 11: for many years at the state legislative level. But you know,

1490
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:46,920
Speaker 11: affordability has got to be something that the president focuses on,

1491
01:45:47,280 --> 01:45:48,439
Speaker 11: and I think he is doing that.

1492
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:51,800
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald joining me here on the DAN

1493
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:56,599
Speaker 1: o'donald show. You have been very focused on Operation Arctic Frost,

1494
01:45:56,960 --> 01:46:00,959
Speaker 1: especially given the fact that our own Senator Ron Johnson

1495
01:46:01,320 --> 01:46:05,760
Speaker 1: was intimately involved in that. What's been going on on

1496
01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:09,599
Speaker 1: the investigation into that and what I believe to be

1497
01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:14,280
Speaker 1: one of the more egregious abuses of power with respect

1498
01:46:14,400 --> 01:46:18,800
Speaker 1: to the attempts to essentially spy on members of the legislature.

1499
01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:25,080
Speaker 11: Well, the Judiciary Committee has kind of a history with

1500
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:29,960
Speaker 11: Jack Smith, and as a result of that, everyone was

1501
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:33,479
Speaker 11: very interested to see kind of what would ultimately be

1502
01:46:33,640 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 11: rolled out related to the investigation. We all knew it

1503
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:42,040
Speaker 11: was very broad, and even when you saw the initial

1504
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:44,960
Speaker 11: report on people that they were focused on, you know,

1505
01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:47,040
Speaker 11: it's no surprise to me that my name ended up

1506
01:46:47,080 --> 01:46:51,240
Speaker 11: in there as well, respective of yeah, I mean, it

1507
01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:54,639
Speaker 11: was just, you know, it was such a large kind

1508
01:46:54,680 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 11: of drag net that they used that there were so

1509
01:46:58,439 --> 01:47:02,200
Speaker 11: many different Republicans that were named to this thing, really

1510
01:47:02,240 --> 01:47:06,360
Speaker 11: with no justification, so they literally were on the fishing expedition.

1511
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:12,680
Speaker 11: But what we did see was that when he interacted

1512
01:47:12,680 --> 01:47:16,520
Speaker 11: with the private sector companies and specifically the telephone companies

1513
01:47:16,840 --> 01:47:19,679
Speaker 11: on trying to gardner more information and we're not even

1514
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:22,719
Speaker 11: sure exactly what they were looking for, but it ended

1515
01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:26,320
Speaker 11: up being that, yeah, you're right, Senator Johnson was targeted

1516
01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:30,720
Speaker 11: along with the other senators. And then Scott Perry, a

1517
01:47:30,720 --> 01:47:34,640
Speaker 11: member of Congress who was literally with his family on

1518
01:47:34,680 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 11: a vacation and two FBI agents came up to him

1519
01:47:37,840 --> 01:47:42,160
Speaker 11: and took his phone from him. So this kind of

1520
01:47:42,200 --> 01:47:46,280
Speaker 11: what this did was it created kind of this environment

1521
01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:51,519
Speaker 11: right now where under arctic frost. The Judiciary Committee is

1522
01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:55,479
Speaker 11: certainly going back and will be taking depositions and trying

1523
01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:59,400
Speaker 11: to gather more information. But the idea that elected officials

1524
01:47:59,400 --> 01:48:04,280
Speaker 11: were targeted that way is outrageous. I don't like, and

1525
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:07,680
Speaker 11: no one liked the way that the US Senate responded

1526
01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:12,040
Speaker 11: in the cr with their five hundred thousand dollars damages

1527
01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:15,400
Speaker 11: that could be garnered in some of those senators. I

1528
01:48:15,560 --> 01:48:18,679
Speaker 11: really they've all kind of disavowed it at this point.

1529
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,559
Speaker 11: In the House passed unanimous bill last night. But what

1530
01:48:21,680 --> 01:48:25,719
Speaker 11: it did do it triggered a discussion in Judiciary about

1531
01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:29,080
Speaker 11: a bill that actually I was the author of last

1532
01:48:29,160 --> 01:48:33,880
Speaker 11: Congress and it passed, and it's the NDO Fairness Act.

1533
01:48:34,200 --> 01:48:37,639
Speaker 11: It deals with non disclosure orders. It puts a limit

1534
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:40,120
Speaker 11: on the amount of time that a judge can grant

1535
01:48:40,960 --> 01:48:44,960
Speaker 11: a non disclosure order to ninety days, and then after

1536
01:48:45,080 --> 01:48:47,479
Speaker 11: ninety days, if it has to be reviewed, they have

1537
01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:50,160
Speaker 11: to go back to the judge again or a judge

1538
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:53,360
Speaker 11: and get that renewed. I think it's something I've talked

1539
01:48:53,400 --> 01:48:57,840
Speaker 11: to Leader Scalise about it, Chairman Jordan, and I think

1540
01:48:57,840 --> 01:49:00,840
Speaker 11: it's something that's starting to get legs the result of

1541
01:49:00,880 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 11: what happened with the with the Arctic frost investigation. So

1542
01:49:07,960 --> 01:49:10,680
Speaker 11: you know, it's kind of like sometimes you're better to

1543
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:14,880
Speaker 11: be lucky, and we're in a perfect position for this

1544
01:49:15,040 --> 01:49:18,120
Speaker 11: bill to actually apply and make its way through the

1545
01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:19,840
Speaker 11: House and hopefully over to the set.

1546
01:49:19,960 --> 01:49:24,400
Speaker 1: Well, obviously you don't want the circumstances where you've got,

1547
01:49:24,760 --> 01:49:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, your friend Senator Johnson, You've got seven other

1548
01:49:27,840 --> 01:49:30,920
Speaker 1: Republican Senators who are but you're right. I mean, this

1549
01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:35,800
Speaker 1: is something that brings the issue of NDO fairness to

1550
01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:40,000
Speaker 1: the forefront, and I think it's a good bill and

1551
01:49:40,080 --> 01:49:45,280
Speaker 1: I want to see it passed into law. Congressman Scott Fitzgerald,

1552
01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:48,080
Speaker 1: my guest on the Dan O'Donnell Show, Sir, when do

1553
01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:50,400
Speaker 1: you guys break for Thanksgiving? And What are your plans

1554
01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:50,720
Speaker 1: for it?

1555
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:55,719
Speaker 11: Yeah, we've got votes. We just had votes this evening.

1556
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:59,240
Speaker 11: We have votes tomorrow, and then there'll be a things

1557
01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:00,960
Speaker 11: Giving break next week.

1558
01:50:01,479 --> 01:50:03,560
Speaker 1: Uh, and then back.

1559
01:50:03,320 --> 01:50:06,639
Speaker 11: Back in December. They've called us back now for for

1560
01:50:06,720 --> 01:50:10,240
Speaker 11: a full three weeks. What's what's happening is a lot

1561
01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:13,880
Speaker 11: of these committees fell behind urhutdown, So there's a lot

1562
01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:15,840
Speaker 11: of bills that have to be dealt with and dealt

1563
01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:18,320
Speaker 11: with quickly. So you're gonna see a lot of that

1564
01:50:18,880 --> 01:50:19,919
Speaker 11: in the month of December.

1565
01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:23,680
Speaker 1: Excellent. What are your plans for Thanksgiving? Each year you

1566
01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:25,920
Speaker 1: go to over the river and through the woods to

1567
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:27,519
Speaker 1: grandmother's house or what do you guys do?

1568
01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:32,240
Speaker 11: Well, first of all, I'm going out to Saturday morning

1569
01:50:32,840 --> 01:50:36,840
Speaker 11: to get that huge buck. Oh yeah, farm in Dodge

1570
01:50:36,880 --> 01:50:39,479
Speaker 11: County right now. So that's my first thing. And if

1571
01:50:39,479 --> 01:50:41,800
Speaker 11: that gets done, you know, who knows what we'll do

1572
01:50:41,880 --> 01:50:43,599
Speaker 11: on Thanksgiving. We'll be around.

1573
01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:46,000
Speaker 1: You're just gonna stay out in the woods until you

1574
01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:48,000
Speaker 1: get a buck. Is that I love it?

1575
01:50:50,360 --> 01:50:51,040
Speaker 11: Or freeze to that?

1576
01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:56,000
Speaker 1: What is it to? Congressman Scott Fitzgerald. Always do appreciate

1577
01:50:56,479 --> 01:50:58,960
Speaker 1: talking with you. Thank you so much and happy Thanksgiving.

1578
01:50:58,960 --> 01:51:02,360
Speaker 1: To you and your family, sir, same to you. Thanks Dan,

1579
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:05,800
Speaker 1: you are listening to the Dan o'donald Show. We are

1580
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:11,280
Speaker 1: back to wrap things up in just a second. You know,

1581
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:14,680
Speaker 1: I used to like to think that I understood a

1582
01:51:14,760 --> 01:51:19,679
Speaker 1: little something about how the stock market works, what influences markets,

1583
01:51:19,720 --> 01:51:23,080
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. I don't get it anymore. After

1584
01:51:23,800 --> 01:51:26,680
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, I think there is just

1585
01:51:26,760 --> 01:51:30,479
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of fear. We had another down day

1586
01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:34,599
Speaker 1: on the market, even after in Vidia, which is the

1587
01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:39,720
Speaker 1: computer chip maker, the microchip manufacturer that basically powers all

1588
01:51:39,760 --> 01:51:42,640
Speaker 1: of AI. It's sort of become an avatar for the

1589
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:49,000
Speaker 1: AI industry itself. That if Nvidia continues to beat even

1590
01:51:49,080 --> 01:51:54,400
Speaker 1: the loftiest of earnings expectations each quarter, which it does

1591
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:59,759
Speaker 1: it did. There was a massive expectation for in Video's

1592
01:51:59,800 --> 01:52:02,400
Speaker 1: earth in the third quarter of twenty twenty five, which

1593
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:05,480
Speaker 1: were reported in a call after the markets closed yesterday.

1594
01:52:06,320 --> 01:52:09,599
Speaker 1: In Video beat it by three percent. I mean, it's

1595
01:52:09,640 --> 01:52:12,760
Speaker 1: just it's remarkable what this company has been able to do.

1596
01:52:14,720 --> 01:52:19,120
Speaker 1: Even that, which led to a big rally in the morning,

1597
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:24,439
Speaker 1: it was all sold off by about eleven AM Jobs

1598
01:52:24,520 --> 01:52:27,080
Speaker 1: numbers were good. I think there is some fear that

1599
01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:30,240
Speaker 1: October's job's numbers were bad. These numbers were from September

1600
01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:34,880
Speaker 1: because obviously they were delayed by the government shutdown, Thank

1601
01:52:34,920 --> 01:52:40,800
Speaker 1: you very much, Democrats. And now the thinking is that

1602
01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:45,320
Speaker 1: the federal reserve is probably under fifty percent for a

1603
01:52:45,439 --> 01:52:49,519
Speaker 1: rate cut during the December meeting. I wish we had

1604
01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:52,200
Speaker 1: Dave spano on to try to explain this one to me,

1605
01:52:52,280 --> 01:52:56,080
Speaker 1: because it seems as though the fundamentals of the economy

1606
01:52:56,200 --> 01:53:00,920
Speaker 1: are strong. Yes, I understand that it's significant. Part of

1607
01:53:00,960 --> 01:53:03,960
Speaker 1: the market's moves over the past several years have been

1608
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:07,760
Speaker 1: the so called Magnificent Seven, which are carrying much of

1609
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:12,479
Speaker 1: the broader indices, especially the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which

1610
01:53:12,479 --> 01:53:16,479
Speaker 1: has been artificially inflated by the performance of a tiny

1611
01:53:16,560 --> 01:53:20,040
Speaker 1: handful of companies. Remember, it's only thirty companies that comprise

1612
01:53:20,160 --> 01:53:24,599
Speaker 1: the Dow thirty somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty, so

1613
01:53:24,840 --> 01:53:28,240
Speaker 1: the performance of three or four of them can really

1614
01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:30,720
Speaker 1: move the market when the rest of them. The Dow

1615
01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:34,240
Speaker 1: Jones Industrial Average is generally considered to be a good,

1616
01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, representation of the broader market. And yes, I know,

1617
01:53:43,720 --> 01:53:47,559
Speaker 1: we are very tech and AI heavy, which has really

1618
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:52,800
Speaker 1: pushed this last couple of years of investment. And yes,

1619
01:53:52,840 --> 01:53:56,320
Speaker 1: there is significant fear that AI is a bubble that

1620
01:53:56,479 --> 01:54:00,639
Speaker 1: is about to burst. Spano always talks about the wall worry,

1621
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:03,639
Speaker 1: and I think that is a big thing, in that

1622
01:54:03,880 --> 01:54:09,479
Speaker 1: any slight deviation from rocket growth tends to give people

1623
01:54:09,560 --> 01:54:11,840
Speaker 1: the willies. I believe two things can be true at

1624
01:54:11,880 --> 01:54:15,800
Speaker 1: the same time. I believe AI is revolutionary technology that

1625
01:54:16,080 --> 01:54:19,080
Speaker 1: makes us a standing We're all standing on the precipice

1626
01:54:19,120 --> 01:54:22,960
Speaker 1: of a new industrial revolution. Forget about the Internet revolution.

1627
01:54:23,040 --> 01:54:25,559
Speaker 1: This is going to be akin to the invention of

1628
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:28,240
Speaker 1: the car. It's going to be akin to the invention

1629
01:54:28,320 --> 01:54:30,599
Speaker 1: of the assembly line. It is going to change everything.

1630
01:54:30,640 --> 01:54:34,240
Speaker 1: I think that is true. But I also think that

1631
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:38,040
Speaker 1: the market is probably going to have significant hiccups as

1632
01:54:38,080 --> 01:54:41,520
Speaker 1: we did with the Internet revolution. We're going to have pullbacks.

1633
01:54:41,520 --> 01:54:44,800
Speaker 1: We're going to potentially have a recession. Hopefully not a

1634
01:54:44,840 --> 01:54:47,840
Speaker 1: big recession, but we're potentially going to have a big

1635
01:54:47,880 --> 01:54:52,720
Speaker 1: bear market as we try to suss out which are

1636
01:54:52,760 --> 01:54:56,880
Speaker 1: the viable AI companies and which are not. I don't

1637
01:54:56,880 --> 01:55:02,240
Speaker 1: give investment advice on this radio show for obvious reasons,

1638
01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:06,640
Speaker 1: but what I would say is still believe in AI

1639
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:09,440
Speaker 1: and the technology industry. With that, we are at a

1640
01:55:09,480 --> 01:55:13,000
Speaker 1: time Friday Edition coming up tomorrow. I can't wait for it.

1641
01:55:13,080 --> 01:55:15,520
Speaker 1: I hope you can't either. You've been listening to The

1642
01:55:15,600 --> 01:55:16,600
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show.
