We 32 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: begin the Friday show with a pretty big exclusive. Multiple 33 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: sources are telling me that behind the scenes, Democrats are 34 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: quote freaking out about the inevitability that Mandela Barnes, the 35 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: former lieutenant governor, is going to announce that he's running 36 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: for governor. I am told that that announcement is going 37 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: to happen in November. I will be probably working some 38 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: sources to figure out a date that's more specific. I 39 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: am told early November is very likely when Mandela is 40 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: going to announce that he's running for governor. Now, this 41 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: has set off a wave of panic bells that have 42 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: been ringing louder and louder and louder in Democrat circles 43 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: ever since a pull from Platform Communications a couple of 44 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: weeks ago showed that Mandela here affectionately known as Mandetbeat 45 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: Barnes because of his steadfast refusal to pay parking tickets, 46 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: speeding tickets, or property taxes, scandals that plague him throughout 47 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: his political career, there is deep concern, deep, deep concern. 48 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: Ever since that Platform Communications poll showed that man deadbeat 49 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: was doubling up the next closest Democrat contender. He was 50 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: getting sixteen percent of the vote in this poll, largely 51 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: because he was the Democrats standard bearer as their nominee 52 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: for governor in twenty twenty two, he left his position 53 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: as lieutenant governor to challenge Republican Senator Ron Johnson, and 54 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: even though Governor Tony Evers won a close but comfortable 55 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: reelection bid with a three percent win over Tim Michaels, 56 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: who was also in the news this week, Mandeadbeat lost 57 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: by one percent, and he lost to the candidate that 58 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: Republicans and Democrats alike saw as the lynchpin to control 59 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: of the Senate. In fact, for Democrats, j Johnson was 60 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: the number one target for Republicans. Tim Michaels was chosen 61 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: as the nominee largely because Republican insiders were promised that 62 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: he would self fund because he's independently wealthy thanks to 63 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 1: his ownership of the Michaels Corporation along with his family. 64 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: It was believe that he was going to spend upwards 65 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: of twenty thirty million dollars of his own money so 66 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: that the money that donors brought in could be funneled 67 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: towards Ron Johnson. Because he was the top target of Democrats, 68 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Democrats even cleared the field for Mandela, forcing Sarah Godluski, 69 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: now the Secretary of State, and Alex Lazar the son 70 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: of then billionaire Milwaukee Bucks owner Mark Lazri, to drop 71 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: out just about a week week and a half before 72 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: the final primary vote in August of twenty twenty two. 73 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: Mandela had every advantage, and he still lost when that 74 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: poll came out. I was told at the time by 75 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: multiple sources intimately familiar with Democrat Party politics, particularly with 76 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: respect to the inner workings of the Evers administration, and yes, 77 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: I was told that they are deliberately staying away from 78 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: the Cap Times investigation into how the Department of Public 79 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: Instruction deliberately hid teacher predation on students and sexual misconduct investigations. 80 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: We will get into that later on in the Dan 81 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: o'donald Show. By the way, another exclusive story coming up 82 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: in the four o'clock hour, a violent political anti ice 83 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: poster where kindergarteners and four K students can see it 84 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: where else Milwaukee public schools. We will get to that. 85 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: It's a Dan o'donald Show exclusive coming up at about 86 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: i'd say four twenty five, four point thirty somewhere in 87 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: that range. Evers's team, as well as power brokers from 88 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, as well as big Democrat 89 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: donors are all privately, very very worried about what the 90 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: party's chances of keeping the governor's mansion are going to 91 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: look like with Mandela at the top of the ticket. 92 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: If in fact, Mandela is at the top of the ticket, Now, 93 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: what normally would happen is that all of the powers 94 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: that be would simply coalesce around one other candidate. I 95 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: don't need to tell you how often that Democrats have 96 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: rigged their presidential primaries to get the candidate that they want. 97 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: In fact, the last three presidential primaries. They rigged it 98 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: for Kamala Harris, for Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. I 99 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: don't think I need to go through the history of that. 100 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: Democrats have been in recent years very very good at 101 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: simply picking the candidate and their voters. They are very 102 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: blessed with voters who are really little more than sheep. 103 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: They will do whatever it is the party bosses tell 104 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: them to do. When the party bosses emerge from the 105 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: smoke filled back rooms with a candidate's name in hand, 106 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: the party's faithful just turns up at the ballot box. 107 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: More accurately, they turn up with mail in ballots in hand. 108 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: This time around. The big panic is that there is 109 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: no alternative to man deadbeat who the party's bosses can 110 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: coalesce behind, who they can all agree on. Remember, the 111 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: party does not like Sarah Rodriguez. Sarah Rodriguez would have 112 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: thought to have been the natural successor. She is a 113 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: white lady, but she's got a Hispanic last name, and 114 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: she's the lieutenant governor. She was the one who got 115 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: herself elected, got herself added to the ticket. For those 116 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: unfamiliar with how we do the lieutenant governor's elections in Wisconsin. 117 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: It's a little weird. You do have to run for 118 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: the position in a primary, but once you win, you 119 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: are automatically added to the gubernatorial ticket. So she was 120 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: Tony Evers's running mate, but she did have to win 121 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 1: the position in a primary, which she did. She's relatively young, 122 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: you would think she's relatively politically savvy. But for whatever reason, 123 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: Ever's team just never really took a shine to her. 124 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: And then the controversy over Ever's retirement announcement basically made 125 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: her persona non grata in the governor's mansion. Ever's team 126 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: despises her over that, And yes, this is a good 127 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: time to remind you that the governor of the state 128 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: of Wisconsin really did move his retirement announcements so that 129 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be proven right now. Isn't it weird that 130 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: I am also very likely to know exactly when man 131 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: deadbeat Barnes is going to announce his candidacy for governor. 132 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: I think at this point it's probably the worst kept 133 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: secret in Wisconsin politics. I don't think I could even 134 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: claim it as an exclusive story. Mandela is going to 135 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: run for governor. He is going to throw his hat 136 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: in the ring. It was previously thought that he was 137 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: going to wait to see what Josh call was going 138 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: to do. Wisconsin's attorney general. Call was meeting for several 139 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: weeks with Democrat donors and people behind the scenes who 140 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: are basically the king makers in this state, the people 141 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: with the access to the big out of state money 142 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: and all of that, and he apparently did not like 143 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: what he was hearing because Call II is not a 144 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: big fan or he's not a darling of the Democrat 145 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: power players. This would seem to leave Milwaukee County Executive 146 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: David Crowley as the most likely non Mandela candidate. This 147 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: would mean, however, that everyone would very quickly have to 148 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,479 Speaker 1: get behind Crowley because it does seem that the Democrat 149 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: rank and file voters are getting behind Mandela. Now. A 150 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: big part of this, it would seem, is because this 151 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: platform communications poll, which everybody and their mother has been 152 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: freaking out about, especially on Democrat the Democrat side, it's 153 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: done so early in the cycle that it's all about 154 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: nay I d It's I think I've explained a couple 155 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: of times that it's the same reason whenever you get 156 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: presidential polling for who you like four years from now, 157 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: immediately after a presidential election, you will invariably get the 158 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: losing presidential candidate. Kamala Harris is running away with every 159 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: single poll right now for presidential preference. Is she going 160 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: to be the Democrat nominee in twenty twenty eight? Absolutely not. 161 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: There is barely any chance of her getting that nomination. 162 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: She's trying desperately, but behind the scenes, as reflected in 163 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: a New York Times article over the past couple of day, 164 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: is there are a whole lot of comparisons being made 165 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: between Kamala Harris and Mandela Barnes. That article in The 166 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: Times was nothing short of amazing. Is by Reed Epstein, 167 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: who covers Democrat politics for The Times, and he's quite 168 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: good at it. It's entitled this Democrat lost a big race. 169 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: The party is uneasy about his return. A Democrat who 170 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: has handed a major nomination only to lose what the 171 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: party considered to be a winnable general election against the 172 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: detested Republican rival, comes back four years later seeking to 173 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: run for an open seat and finds no deference from 174 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: a large field of primary opponents. The apprehension about Mandela 175 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: Barnes thirty eight is less about his age or a 176 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: connection to a detested party establishment than it is about 177 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: a desire to avoid renominating a candidate who recently lost. 178 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: A couple of old guards Democrats are quoted in this piece. 179 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: Former Lieutenant Governor Barbara Lawton said he proved to us 180 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: beyond a shadow of a doubt that he can't run 181 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 1: hard enough and give us a winning campaign on a 182 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: statewide basis. Dave Schisslevitch, former mayor of Madison, I was 183 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: happy to vote for Harris, but I wouldn't support her 184 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: again for the nomination because I don't think she can win. 185 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: It's the same kind of calculation I'm making about this 186 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: race for governor. The following day, The Milwaukee Courier, which 187 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: is a black newspaper in Milwaukee, wrote a very similar 188 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: piece entitled, we can't afford to lose in twenty twenty six, 189 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: and we can't risk another Mandela Barnes loss. We're hearing 190 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: that Mandela is preparing to run for governor in twenty 191 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: twenty five or twenty twenty six. The editorial board rights, 192 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: with Donald Trump back in the White House, rolling back 193 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: civil rights and gutting everything we care about, we cannot 194 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: afford a risk, not now, not with the stakes this high. 195 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: Let's be clear, this is not personal. Mandela's story is 196 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: one of promise. He's bright, he's passionate, But this moment 197 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: is not about promise. It's about performance. In politics, you 198 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: earn your next opportunity by delivering on the last one. 199 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: And in twenty twenty two, Mandela didn't. That Senate seat 200 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: was ours to win. He had the national support, he 201 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: had the resources, he had the attention, and still he 202 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: came up short. And what's more telling, instead of spending 203 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: the past two years organizing here at home, building bridges 204 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: and proving he learned from that loss, what we've seen 205 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: is a campaign in waiting with no clear rationale other 206 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: than a desire to try again. So who's asking for 207 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: Mandela to run again. It's not the people here in Milwaukee. 208 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: It's National Democrat donors and operatives in Washington and New 209 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: York trying to rerun the same experiment. They should not 210 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: assume that Mandela Barnes has a lock on black Milwaukee, 211 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: because he doesn't. Many of us watch that twenty twenty 212 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,479 Speaker 1: two race and felt something we don't often say aloud, disappointment. 213 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 1: That is about as direct as it gets, and I 214 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: am told that that is the sentiment of pretty much 215 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: every Democrat Party insider. What they are doing now is 216 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: with the understanding that Mandela is going to jump in 217 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: the race, that he is going to be an immediate 218 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: front runner, that if that Platform Communications poll is at 219 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: all accurate, and I believe it is, he's going to 220 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: be the prohibitive favorite. He's going to have twice the 221 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: support because largely he has twice the name recognition of 222 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: any other Democrat in this race, and that there is 223 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: going to be a concerted effort to try to stop 224 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: Mandela from getting this nomination. What I can report exclusively 225 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: is that multiple very well connected Democrats are saying that 226 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: the party is going to try to do whatever it 227 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: can to stop Mandela from getting this nomination. In other words, 228 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: they are going to do to Mandela what they did 229 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: to Alex Lazrie and Sarah Godluski. Tell him, Mandela, you 230 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: had your shot, this is not it. Much more on 231 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: this exclusive story the Democrats major Mandela problem coming up 232 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: in just three minutes here on the Dan o'donald's show. 233 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: All Halloween bumper music here on the Dano Donald Show. 234 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: Welcome back to it. You'll have to forgive me, folks, 235 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: I am scrambling to get our exclusive story on social 236 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: media that Mandela Barnes is going to jump into this race. 237 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: He is going to go in in sometime in November, 238 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: so not next week, but the following week at the earliest. 239 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: My guess is he's going to do it earlier rather 240 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: than later, because at that point you sort of bump 241 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: up against Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, I believe is late this year. 242 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: It's about as late as it possibly can be. You're 243 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: not going to do it after Thanksgiving because all of 244 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: that just gets sort of lost in the Christmas rush. 245 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: So my guess it would be first or second week 246 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: in November Mandela formally announces that he's getting in. Multiple 247 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: sources are telling me that those articles that we made 248 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: reference to on the Dan O'Donnell show earlier in this hour, 249 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: as well as earlier in the week from the New 250 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: York Times and the Milwaukee Courier, those were sort of 251 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: warning shots sent to Mandela by party insiders and power 252 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: players telling him he is not going to have the 253 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: party's support. In fact, those sources tell me that the 254 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: party is quote desperate to keep him from winning the 255 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: gubernatorial nomination because as was exactly pointed out in those pieces. 256 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: They don't believe he can win. They think on a 257 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: ballot where Tony Evers won relatively comfortably, and a three 258 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: point win here in Wisconsin is a comfortable win. It's close, 259 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: but the outcome of that election was on election night, 260 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: as someone who covered it, never in doubt. In fact, 261 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: from the very first batch of returns that started coming 262 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: in when Tim Michaels was underperforming Scott Walker in twenty eighteen, 263 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 1: when Walker lost his reelection bid, it was evident that 264 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: Evers was going to win. The only question was going 265 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 1: to be the margin. Turns out it was a three 266 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: point win. Mandela Barnes lost by one percentage point. He 267 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: lagged Tony Evers by four percent. That is significant lag. 268 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: And he hasn't really done anything over the last four years. Seriously, 269 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: have you heard anything out of Mandela Barnes. Has he 270 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: taken a prominent role fundraising or supporting other candidates? No, 271 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: as the Milwaukee Courier said, and it's editorial advising him 272 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: not to run or not to have Democrats support Mandela's run. 273 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's too late to stop him from run. 274 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: The ideal thing would have been that the party is 275 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 1: able to keep Mandela from running and that this isn't 276 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: an issue. Well, one of the big issues with Mandela 277 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: is he's never actually had anything resembling a real grown 278 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: up job. He was made fun of for in his 279 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: introductory ads during the twenty twenty two Senate race talking 280 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: about what his parents did for a living. Why didn't 281 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: he talk about what he did for a living because 282 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: he immediately hopped into government, He immediately became a quote 283 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: unquote community organizer, and then decided to just leach off 284 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: of the taxpayer dime. He hasn't really done anything, and 285 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: in the last four years he's done even less, if 286 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: such a thing as possible. So what reason is there, 287 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 1: what compelling narrative is there for the people of Wisconsin 288 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,720 Speaker 1: to get behind mandebeat Barnes. Well, of course the party's faithful. 289 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: If they're not pointed to a different candidate, they would 290 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: vote for man deadbeat just on name recognition alone. We're 291 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: seeing the same dynamic at play in this race as 292 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: we did in the presidential race in twenty sixteen and 293 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: also in twenty twenty, where it was the stop Bernie 294 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: Sanders express from the Democratic Parties. Faithful Hillary Clinton would 295 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: not have gotten that nomination in twenty sixteen had the 296 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: party not rigged its primaries with super delegates. Bernie Sanders 297 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: would have won it in twenty twenty. If the party 298 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: didn't rig its primary by forcing Pete Bootage and Amy 299 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: Klobashar every other candidate out of the race and making 300 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: it clear that Joe Biden was the guy. Bernie Sanders 301 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: would have run away with that nomination. They stopped him 302 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: because they didn't think an open socialist in either twenty 303 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: sixteen or twenty twenty, running against the most recognizable capital 304 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: list to ever hold the office of president or seek 305 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: the office of president in Donald Trump, would be a 306 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: good contrast. In other words, they didn't think that a 307 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: referendum on socialism was one they could win. Why do 308 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: you think the party is now freaking out about Zohoran Mamdani. 309 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: Why did it take House Minority Leader Jakim Jeffries until 310 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: today to announce that he's endorsing Mom Donnie's campaign. Because 311 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: they're scared of referenda on socialism. They know socialism fails. 312 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: The people with any actual intelligence in the Democrat Party, Yes, 313 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: there are actually a couple, not many, but there are 314 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: a couple. They know socialism fail, so they're trying to 315 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: stuff it. Not only is Man Deadbeat a socialist, not 316 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: only does he have long standing ties to the socialist 317 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: movement in Milwaukee, he's also an idiot who says idiotic things. 318 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: It would be my dream if Mandela was the nominee, 319 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: I would have a field day. I am told Republican 320 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 1: Party operatives barely scratch the surface on opposition research into 321 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: that guy, and I for one would love to do 322 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: some digging of my own. This is what the party 323 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: is scared of. This is what Democrats don't want. Something 324 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: to come out about Man Deadbeat that makes him all 325 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: but unelectable. Also, the people already passed judgment on him. 326 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: Here's the big problem for Democrats. Though normally they would 327 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: simply force everybody else to drop out, just like they 328 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: did four Man Deadbeat in twenty twenty two, forcing two 329 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: of the other strongest Canada, the other two major candidates 330 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: in the race to drop out and force everybody to 331 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: just vote for Man Deadbeat. They don't know who they're 332 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: going to back. They don't like Sarah Rodriguez. I think 333 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: there was a hope that even though nobody much likes 334 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: Josh Cole, that they could at least stomach him and 335 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: get him in so that he would at least be 336 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: somewhat more electable than Mandela. I am convinced still that 337 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: they view the most electable candidate in that race as 338 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, that that is the guy 339 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: that eventually they're all going to coalesce around. Had Sarah 340 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: Rodriguez come out of the gate on fire and just 341 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: captured the imagination of I don't exactly know who her 342 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 1: voter base is, liberal wine ants and COVID Karens from 343 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: the Madison area, I suppose had she just come out 344 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: on fire, that would have been it. It would have 345 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: been Sarah Rodriguez's race to lose. But of course, the 346 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: controversies surrounding her posting her I'm running video a week 347 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: before she actually did, on the very day that I 348 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: said Tony Evers was going to retire, they of course 349 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: pushed it back a week just to spite me. Yes, 350 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: they actually did do that. I got this confirmed via 351 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: multiple sources back then that they just they couldn't stand 352 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: the fact that some conservative talk radio nazi had scooped 353 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: Tony Evers on his big retirement announcement, so they said, 354 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: we're just gonna move it back. And the big tell 355 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: was that the Evers campaign team Britt cut it back. 356 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: In particular, his mouthpiece actually openly bragged on socially. She 357 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: openly glowed it will it's been passed. 358 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 2: When Dan O'Donnell said the announcement was gonna come, looks 359 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 2: like his sources are full of bleep, Well, yeah, they're 360 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 2: gonna be full of bleep when you can actually change 361 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 2: the date of the retirement announcement, which I then found out, 362 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 2: and I first found out because of Sarah Rodri. 363 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: She posted the video made it private on July seventeenth, 364 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: but didn't make it live until July twenty fifth. The 365 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: intent was to post it, make it private, and then 366 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: on July eighteenth, the day after Ever's original announcement, she 367 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: was going to say, okay, I'm running the idea there was. 368 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,959 Speaker 1: She was going to clear the field because obviously she 369 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: had gotten the heads up along with the rest of 370 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: Evers's team that July seventeenth was the day. But at 371 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 1: the last minute, after I started reporting that, within twenty 372 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: four to thirty six hours, I believe I reported this 373 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: on the sixteenth. I said, within twenty four to thirty 374 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: six hours, it's probably going to be Thursday, July seventeenth, 375 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: Evers is going to announce his retirement, that he's not 376 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: running for a third term. They moved it to the 377 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: following week, and they were super ticked at Sarah Rodriguez. 378 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: So people think, well, you're just bringing this up because 379 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: you want to keep your name. No, I'm bringing this 380 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,479 Speaker 1: up because this is the reason Sarah Rodriguez is not 381 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 1: the the queen in waiting. Ironic from the No Kings 382 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 1: two psychotic Boogaloo protest crowd, but they can't wait to 383 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: start nominating their own monarchs to rule over them because 384 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: they don't trust what their idiot socialist voters are going 385 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: to leave them with. It was going to be her 386 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: until that. I think the power brokers, the powers that 387 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: be said, okay, I guess we can stomach her. It's 388 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: more of the same. She would get a lot of 389 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: the Evers campaign team. She would just sort of be 390 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: the heir apparent. Well, what happened after that fiasco. Evers 391 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: actually came out and said, I'm not going to endorse her. 392 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: I might endorse somebody who I like and want to win. Now, 393 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: there's actually also fear, and I believe Evers is being told, 394 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: please don't endorse man deadbeat, Please don't endorse man deadbeat. 395 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: I am actually told that there is at least something 396 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: of a soft spot personally that Evers has for Mandela Barnes. 397 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: The party does not have that the party is all 398 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: about winning. The party also thinks that Mandela doesn't have 399 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: nearly the charm that he likes to think he does. 400 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: I'll give credit where credit is due. Cavalier Johnson, the 401 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: mayor of Milwaukee, is a very charming guy. He desperately 402 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: wants to be Barack Obama. He even patterns his speech 403 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: after Obama. But he is an engaging guy. He is 404 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: very well liked in city circles, and he I think 405 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: did the right thing by deferring to his friend David Crowley. 406 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: Crowley is going to run this time. I think there's 407 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: also some strategic thinking there on the part of Cavalier. 408 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: It's very, very difficult for one party to hold the 409 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: governor's mansion for three straight elections or hold the White 410 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: House for three straight elections, and I think Cavalier is 411 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: thinking strategic. Okay, David, you run here, you run this 412 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: time when it's very difficult. I'll run against the Republican 413 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,719 Speaker 1: incumbent in twenty thirty two, or excuse me, twenty thirty 414 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: where we might have a better chance of picking this 415 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: race up. That's I haven't heard anybody say that close 416 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: to Cavalier. I'm just thinking, based on my knowledge of politics, 417 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: Mandela does not have that level of charisma. He is 418 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: not well liked, he is not engaging. He just doesn't 419 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: have He's kind of an idiot. I mean, this isn't 420 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell, you know, conservative radical KKK member here. This 421 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: is just an observation. He is not an impressive guy. 422 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: He is not particularly intelligent, he's not particularly well versed 423 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,919 Speaker 1: on the issues. He doesn't have that ability to just 424 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: light up a room, to just carry to He doesn't 425 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: have that magnetic personality. And he was handed the nomination 426 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two at the height of the Democrats' 427 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter hysteria, largely because he is a black 428 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 1: man and they didn't want to have a white Karen 429 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: lady like Sarah Godluski, or even worse, a straight white 430 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: wealthy man with a rich daddy like Alex Lazri is 431 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 1: their standard bearer. I'm not sure what they do, frankly, 432 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: but I can tell you there is going to be 433 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 1: a concerted effort within the party, and you will be 434 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: able to see it. It will be relatively obvious unless 435 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: they say, Okay, there's no way, Mandela is just too popular, 436 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: he's polling too well. We just have to kind of 437 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: roll with this, and then they all of course fall 438 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: in line behind him. But you will see it. There 439 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: will be an effort to coalesce beyond behind somebody who 440 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: is not Mandela so that he doesn't lose a second 441 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: straight winnable election for Democrats. You're listening to the Dan 442 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: o'donald Show, Conservative thought, not just talk. Not to toot 443 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: my own horn here. Okay, I'm definitely going to toot 444 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: my own horn here. But this is two pretty big 445 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: stories on the Wisconsin gubernatorial race next year that have 446 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: been broken here on the Dan o'donald Show in just 447 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: the past couple of days. The Tim Michaels at the 448 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: White House story. I have gotten about fifteen different versions 449 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,239 Speaker 1: from people about why he was there. There was some 450 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: pipeline commission meeting, he was paying some friends, a social 451 00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 1: visit that he knew from the Wisconsin Republican Party. I 452 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: currently work in the White House, or we're at the 453 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: White House as well. For what was going on on Tuesday, whatever, 454 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: whatever it was, or was it Wednesday? It is? Is 455 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: this what getting older is like? The days always kind 456 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: of run together. That's what my parents say. But they've 457 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: been retired for a while. I'm still in the prime 458 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: of my working life, and i can't, for the life 459 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: of me remember whether something happened on Monday or Tuesday, 460 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: or you know, maybe that's just because I'm working on 461 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: so many different things at once that they kind of 462 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: all blend together in my head. Whatever it is, I 463 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: was told that, well, he just happened to be there, 464 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: he was just there, or say he didn't meet with Trump, 465 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: who is not well. Then clearly this got leaked to 466 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: me as a trial balloon to see how people would 467 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: react to Tim Michaels getting in this race, and it 468 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: turned out there was not a whole lot of enthusiasm 469 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: him for it for the exact same reason. The idea 470 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: was that Tim had his chance and he didn't win. 471 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: And now Republicans do have a very strong alternative. I 472 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: think in Tom Tiffany that he just dominated the field 473 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: in that pool. He's got tremendous name recognition in this 474 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: gubernatorial race, and at this point I would be very 475 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: shocked if he wasn't the Republican nominee. I like Josh 476 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: Showman a great deal. I think the world of him. 477 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: I think he's incredibly impressive. I just don't believe that Tiffany, 478 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: at least at this point, can really be overcome. Democrats 479 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: don't have that luxury. They don't have anybody that is 480 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: nearly as strong as Mandela. As a result, they're worried 481 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: they're going to be stuck with him. Mandela doubled up 482 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: the field in that platform communications pool. And if you 483 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: think people are making way too big of a deal 484 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: out of this poll, folks, you're probably right. But it's 485 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: the only hard data. And polls set the narrative. And 486 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: when there's only one of them for weeks and weeks 487 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: and weeks, guess what that sets the narrative for weeks 488 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: and weeks and weeks. It allows the candidate to go 489 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: behind the scenes to donors and to power players and say, look, 490 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: you know, sort of like Thanos, I am inevitable. Mandela 491 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: looked at the It's no coincidence, folks, that Josh Cale 492 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: looked at that pole, because these candidates very likely aren't 493 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 1: doing polling on their own. Cale looked at that poll 494 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: and said, I don't have a chance of unseating Mandela. 495 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: Everybody's been talking to about me as the likely front 496 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: runner for months. If I jump into the governor's race, 497 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: and what was he third or fourth? I think he 498 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: was tied for third or fourth in that poll at 499 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: seven percent. Mandela had more than twice his support at 500 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: sixteen percent. It really has a narrative setting ability. Because 501 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: of that, Republicans are saying, okay, well thanks, but no 502 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: thanks Tim, We've got Tom Tiffany who is very strong. 503 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: Right now, Democrats don't have an alternative to Mandela. Parts 504 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: they may get one, they may all circle the wagons 505 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 1: around Sarah Rodriguez or what I think far more likely, 506 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: they're going to circle the wagons around David Crowley. But 507 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: make no mistake, they do not want and I'm hearing 508 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: from other sources that there are labor union representatives who 509 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: also despise Barnes and don't want him to run, don't 510 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: want to back him. In fact, will openly oppose him 511 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 1: and get behind another candidate. Meanwhile, you've got the chairman 512 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: of the party, Devin Remicker, who seems to be doing 513 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 1: nothing but trolling Derek Van Orden on Twitter all day. 514 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: He is presiding over mess and one starting to wonder 515 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: whether Ben Wickler, the Democratic Party chairman, saw this coming. Knew, 516 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: of course that Evers probably wasn't going to run again, 517 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: knew that Mandela Barnes was going to be the favorite 518 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: new in dealing with all of the party insiders and backers, 519 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: unions and donors and so forth, out of state billionaires, 520 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: knew that there was going to be this war over 521 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: and said, Okay, now I'm just going to, you know, 522 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: pull the ripcord, get out of politics per se, and 523 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: make a boatload of money by consulting. He's looking smarter 524 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: and smarter because it seems to me that Remicker has 525 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: a real mess on his hands. So Devin, get off 526 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: of X, stop trolling Derek. You've got to clean up 527 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,479 Speaker 1: on Isle. Mandela the Headless Horseman by the DJ Kid 528 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: Casino and the Dan O'Donnells show. Halloween Bumper music rotation 529 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,279 Speaker 1: coming up after the top of the hour. It is 530 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: the daily Trump date. The government may be shut down 531 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: now for a twenty fourth day, but the Trump administration 532 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: keeps on Roland. Great news on the inflation front. We'll 533 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 1: get into that, plus a press conference with Transportation Secretary 534 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: Sean Duffy right now. Though, it is time to name 535 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: the unhinged Liberal of the day. 536 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 3: We are in pre Nazi Germany. 537 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: Trump is dangerous because he's evil America. Today's unhinged Liberal 538 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 1: of the day is Graham Platner. We have not actually 539 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: talked about this crazy character all week long because we 540 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 1: have had so many exclusive stories and it's just been 541 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: a busy week. He's running for Senate out in Maine, 542 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: and he's running against the governor, Janet Mills for the 543 00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: Democrat nomination. Well, Platner is a blue collar Bernie bro socialist. 544 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:06,680 Speaker 1: He is a Marine Corps veteran, and he's Democrats dream candidate. 545 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: Except for the fact that up until this week he 546 00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 1: had a Nazi skull tattoo right on his chest. Yes, 547 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: and he knew it was a Nazi skull tattoo. Well, 548 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,239 Speaker 1: he's had that covered up and he has tried to 549 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: explain multiple times it's not a Nazi skull tattoo and 550 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 1: that he's not some sort of secret Nazi. But man, Graham, 551 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: if you really hate Israel and the Jewish people, you 552 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: would actually fit right in with the modern Democrat party. 553 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: Graham Platner is your unhinged liberal of the day. I 554 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: would very much like to get into that story. It's 555 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 1: sort of been covered extensively in other conservative media. We 556 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: will also get to another exclusive and anti ice poster 557 00:36:55,719 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: in a Milwaukee kindergarten that's coming up next four o'clock. 558 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: Our underway on this so beautiful Friday afternoon on the 559 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show. Get out and enjoy the weather. If 560 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: you're just heading home from work. It is not going 561 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 1: to stay like this forever. Obviously, put the Dan o'donald 562 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:21,720 Speaker 1: Show on on iHeartRadio, or if you've got a portable radio, 563 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: maybe a Walkman that you just dug out of a 564 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,239 Speaker 1: time capsule from nineteen eighty seven. I don't know. Keep 565 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: us close, because coming up later this hour, we have 566 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 1: got an exclusive story of an anti ice sign that 567 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: is shockingly violent and featuring well known Antifa language in 568 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,760 Speaker 1: a Milwaukee public school. Not just any school, a school 569 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: with kids as young as K four we'll bring you 570 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: that in about twenty minutes to a half hour. It's 571 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: a Dan o'donald show exclusive. Of course, we are reporting 572 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 1: this afternoon that Democrat Party insiders across Wisconsin are desperate 573 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,760 Speaker 1: to try to stop Mandela Barnes's campaign before it even 574 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: gets started. Mandela is going to announce sometime in November. 575 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: I'm told that he's running for governor, and Labor Union's 576 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: Democrat Party people donors they want no part of him. 577 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: And in fact, the New York Times story this week 578 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: all but urging Mandela not to run, and if he 579 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 1: does run, all but urging Democrats in Wisconsin not to 580 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: vote for him was a shot across the bow. It 581 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: was designed to express the party's displeasure with Mandela for 582 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: losing what should have been a very winnable race. All right, 583 00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: we will get you a chance to win a thousand 584 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: bucks in our full fortune cash contest in just a second. First, though, 585 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: it is your daily Trump Day. 586 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 4: We're gonna win so much you may even get tired 587 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 4: of winning. 588 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: For the administration. 589 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 3: It's also a big win for the United States. 590 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: We have to keep putting. We have to win bar 591 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:11,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna win more. All three major US stock in 592 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: disease closing at record highs. Today. The SMP and NASDAK 593 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:21,360 Speaker 1: recorded their largest weekly percentage gains since August, while the 594 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: blue chip Dow logged its biggest Friday to Friday jump 595 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: since June. It has now crossed forty seven thousand. The 596 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 1: reason cooler then expected inflation data and upbeat corporate earnings. 597 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 1: The Labor Department's Consumer Price Index was released today late 598 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 1: because the government shut down, but it did remain elevated 599 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: in September. It was a bit cooler than analysts had expected, 600 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: calming fears of an outsized impact of tariffs on inflation, 601 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 1: and all but locking in a twenty five basis point 602 00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: rate cut at the conclusion of the Fed's monetary policy 603 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:06,400 Speaker 1: meeting next week. President Trump meanwhile announced via truth social 604 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 1: post the end of quote all trade negotiations with Canada 605 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: amid escalating tariffs and disputes over dairy, lumber, and border issues. 606 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: Canada is America's largest trading partner. The move is expected 607 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,920 Speaker 1: to impact billions in cross border commerce and has drawn 608 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,800 Speaker 1: criticism from businesses and allies on both sides of the border, 609 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: but Canada's Prime Minister already appears to have backed down. 610 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: He is willing to meet with the President at offer 611 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:44,440 Speaker 1: key concessions. This as the federal government's shut down is 612 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:50,280 Speaker 1: now in its twenty fourth day, Transportation Secretary John Duffy, 613 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:55,640 Speaker 1: former Wisconsin congressman, is standing up for air traffic controllers 614 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: who are still working, but working now without a paycheck. 615 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: I do think the frustration with our controllers that. 616 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 5: Kim Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, They're all going to 617 00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,280 Speaker 5: get their paychecks while these men and women who control 618 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:16,520 Speaker 5: our skies aren't going to be paid because. 619 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,359 Speaker 1: Of the shutdown. I think there's also a frustration. 620 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 5: That the shutdown is about paying for health care benefits 621 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:29,359 Speaker 5: for illegal immigrants. I think our controllers, who again our 622 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 5: great Americans, want their Congress to focus on America and 623 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 5: Americans and are asking the question, why is the Congress. 624 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 5: Why are Senate Democrats focused on healthcare benefits for illegals? 625 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 5: Maybe focus on me and my paycheck and the services 626 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 5: that I provide. Open up the government, negotiate, have a conversation, 627 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 5: but don't hold them their paychecks their families hostage so 628 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,640 Speaker 5: you can give benefits to illegal migrants. I think that 629 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 5: truly is an over arching concern and theme. 630 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 1: Over the past couple of days, the nation's airports have 631 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: seen dramatically increased delays over air traffic controller shortages, and 632 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: Secretary Duffy says he is very concerned because in just 633 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,760 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks the start of the busiest travel 634 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 1: season of the year will kick off. 635 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,319 Speaker 5: By the way, I'm also concerned as we're coming into 636 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 5: holiday season, we have more people using our airspace, more 637 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 5: people taking flights, and when that happens and they see 638 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,879 Speaker 5: more delays, I want to make sure every American knows 639 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 5: I've done all I can by modernizing the airspace, making 640 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 5: sure we have more air traffic controllers. But if you're 641 00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:46,160 Speaker 5: seeing an increase in shutdowns right now or delays now, shutdowns, 642 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 5: more delays, more cancelations, it is because the Democrats won't 643 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 5: open the government back up. 644 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,920 Speaker 1: And Duffy says they need to do so quickly because 645 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: the single biggest travel day of the entire year is 646 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,840 Speaker 1: coming up in about a month. Believe it or not, 647 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: it is not as many people believe, the day before Thanksgiving. 648 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: It's actually the Sunday. After think about it, some people 649 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: will go over the river and through the Woods on 650 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving itself. Some people will take the entire week off 651 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,759 Speaker 1: if they're going across the country. Some will go on 652 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: that Wednesday, some Tuesday, some Monday. But everybody, it seems, 653 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: tries to go back home on Sunday. You want to 654 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 1: pro tip from Dan, when flights will be a fraction 655 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,239 Speaker 1: the cost they are on Sunday, try to take an 656 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: extra day and go back on Monday. You'll thank me later, 657 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 1: which with a much emptier airport. All right, that is 658 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,840 Speaker 1: your daily Trump date. The nationwide keyword this hour in 659 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 1: the Fall Fortune Cash Contest is bills. You've got until 660 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 1: four fifty five to go to our website and enter 661 00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:52,839 Speaker 1: the keyword bills to enter the contest for this hour. 662 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 1: If your entry has picked at random a thousand crisp 663 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: dollar bills for you. No, we don't actually pay you 664 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: in dollar bills, although that would be hilarious. We give 665 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 1: you a check.

We believe 667 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 1: the phone call will come from a restricted or unknown number. 668 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,840 Speaker 1: It sort of changes with every contesting cycle, and I 669 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,279 Speaker 1: try to tell our listeners what to be watching for 670 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: and if you have that feature on your iPhone where 671 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: you automatically send to voicemail numbers that show up as 672 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,759 Speaker 1: restricted or unknown, or just numbers that are outside of 673 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 1: your contacts to try to get rid of spam calls. 674 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,799 Speaker 1: Turn that off if you're playing the contest, because that 675 00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:43,360 Speaker 1: just might be us telling you you've won one thousand dollars. 676 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: Do you want to hear the single most ironic statement 677 00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:54,360 Speaker 1: that was made today, possibly this week, possibly this entire month. 678 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: This could be its own verse. In an Alanis Morris 679 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:04,439 Speaker 1: set song, Leticia James, the Attorney General of New York, 680 00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:10,239 Speaker 1: pleading not guilty today to federal mortgage fraud charges, was 681 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:17,400 Speaker 1: decrying the weaponization of the Justice Department, leading to people questioning, 682 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,680 Speaker 1: do you remember your tish James? 683 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 3: This is not about me. 684 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,680 Speaker 4: This is about all of us, and about a justice 685 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 4: system which has been weaponized, a justice system which has. 686 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,279 Speaker 3: Been used as a. 687 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,360 Speaker 1: Tool of revenge. 688 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 6: This justice system which has been used as a tool 689 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 6: of revenge and a weapon against those individuals who simply 690 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,000 Speaker 6: did their job and who stood up for the rule 691 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:55,439 Speaker 6: of law. 692 00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:00,919 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it would be shame if someone used their 693 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:07,360 Speaker 1: position to just target innocent people to weaponize the justice 694 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:12,759 Speaker 1: system against them. In a totally unrelated story. Here's a 695 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 1: montage we put together of Leticia James campaigning for attorney 696 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:21,800 Speaker 1: general in twenty eighteen, promising to go after Donald Trump. 697 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 7: No one above the law, including the legitimate president, and 698 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:32,879 Speaker 7: so I look forward. I look forward to going into 699 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 7: the Office of Attorney General every day suing him, defending 700 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 7: your rights, and then going home pill youse sue. 701 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 2: Him for us. 702 00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 1: Oh, we're gonna definitely, soume. We're going to be real, 703 00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 1: Payley asked. 704 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 8: He said, I know my name personally, will never be 705 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:51,959 Speaker 8: afraid to challenge this illegitimate president when our fundamental rights 706 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:52,600 Speaker 8: are at stake. 707 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: I believe that the. 708 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,719 Speaker 8: President of these United States can be indicted for criminal offenses. 709 00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 8: In addition to that, the Office of Attorney General will 710 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,239 Speaker 8: continue the follow the money because we believe that he's 711 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,840 Speaker 8: engaged in the padment practice of the money laund laundering 712 00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,760 Speaker 8: the money from foreign governments here in New York State 713 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:15,240 Speaker 8: and particularly related to his real estate holdings. It's important 714 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,520 Speaker 8: that everyone understand that the days of Donald Trump are 715 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:18,279 Speaker 8: coming to an end. 716 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,959 Speaker 1: Just to be clear, that was a video she cut 717 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 1: during the campaign. She was saying, vote for me, and 718 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 1: I will sue this particular guy who happens to be 719 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 1: the president of the United States, and he's illegitimate, and 720 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 1: I am going to use all of the power of 721 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:44,799 Speaker 1: the justice system as a weapon against the president. And 722 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 1: did you notice the only specific allegation she raised there 723 00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,840 Speaker 1: that we believe he was laundering money from foreign governments 724 00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,480 Speaker 1: through his business. Seven years later, she was never able 725 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,640 Speaker 1: to prove that she had access to every Trump financial 726 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:04,360 Speaker 1: record there was. What did she come up with in 727 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:10,799 Speaker 1: her totally non weaponized lawsuit against the Trump organization? That 728 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:16,719 Speaker 1: he overinflated the price of his buildings in order to 729 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:22,640 Speaker 1: secure more favorable loan terms. Mar A Lago, for instance, 730 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,760 Speaker 1: was way overvalued, as Tish James argued, it should only 731 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,719 Speaker 1: have been valued at what five million dollars? I think 732 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 1: it was eighteen Rush Limbaugh's house, late Great Rush Limbaugh. 733 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:41,680 Speaker 1: His house was a teardown and sold for something like 734 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars. The land mar A Lago sits on 735 00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,600 Speaker 1: is probably worth one hundred sum million dollars by itself, 736 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:55,440 Speaker 1: if not way more. What Tish James did was to 737 00:48:55,840 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 1: argue a theory of fraud that had never really been 738 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:05,080 Speaker 1: and argued before under an obscure interpretation of New York 739 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:09,400 Speaker 1: statutes where there was never any alleged victim of fraud. 740 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,600 Speaker 1: All of the banks were paid back in full. Every 741 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:18,480 Speaker 1: loan that Trump got was paid back. Nobody ever complained 742 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 1: that there was no complainant about a fraud issue. The 743 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:29,799 Speaker 1: complainant was the State of New York generally because of 744 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:34,560 Speaker 1: Trump's horrible business practices, all of New York was in 745 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 1: fact defrauded by him. Now does this sound like a 746 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:43,840 Speaker 1: legitimate prosecution when this theory has basically never been used 747 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:48,920 Speaker 1: and the judgment that she got seven hundred some million 748 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:55,239 Speaker 1: dollars was so incredibly out of whack with reality that 749 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,160 Speaker 1: on appeal, do you know how much Donald Trump and 750 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:03,560 Speaker 1: the Trump organization ended up having to pay zero zero dollars. 751 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,760 Speaker 1: She got the judgment, she got the headline, she didn't 752 00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:13,760 Speaker 1: actually get any money because her case was so incredibly weak, 753 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:18,799 Speaker 1: It was so incredibly and obviously politically motivated. Now, let's 754 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 1: take a look at the case against Letitia James. She 755 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:28,640 Speaker 1: absolutely did declare that properties that clearly were not her 756 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,919 Speaker 1: primary residence were her primary residence that she was going 757 00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,839 Speaker 1: to rent out or allow family members to stay there 758 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:41,920 Speaker 1: so she could secure more favorable terms. That is, in fact, 759 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:48,120 Speaker 1: if not fraud, misrepresentation on a legal document. In other words, 760 00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 1: the other irony here is that the person who actually 761 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:56,440 Speaker 1: committed fraud before a lender was Leticia James. The case 762 00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:01,239 Speaker 1: is actually very solid now. Demokrats, of course, have been saying, 763 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 1: they've been screaming, in fact, that Trump is seeking revenge. 764 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 1: You heard Leticia James herself say it. Trump, this is 765 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 1: a revenge for what exactly? Revenge for that totally up 766 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:23,360 Speaker 1: and up prosecution that you announced while campaigning, that prosecution 767 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,239 Speaker 1: that you never would have run against anybody else in 768 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:31,400 Speaker 1: the United States, and that got so knocked down on 769 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:37,400 Speaker 1: appeal that you ended up looking like the malicious weaponizer 770 00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:44,279 Speaker 1: of government that you are. Is that the revenge? It's 771 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 1: the same thing with James Covic rather open and shut. 772 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:51,040 Speaker 1: Did you authorize someone to leak information on your behalf 773 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:57,360 Speaker 1: fairly obvious he did same thing with Bolton, John Bolton, 774 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 1: Did you have classified material at your office at your 775 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,600 Speaker 1: home that you were basically using to show off to people? 776 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:12,719 Speaker 1: Weirdly enough, the exact same thing that Donald Trump was 777 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:17,600 Speaker 1: charged with. If you remember obstructing justice related to the 778 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:22,759 Speaker 1: mishandling of classified documents. Oh well it does. Does that 779 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 1: mean if Bolton's prosecution was a weaponization of justice? If T. 780 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:31,040 Speaker 1: Jameson's prosecution was a weaponization of justice, then what can 781 00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:35,520 Speaker 1: we finally admit that Trump's prosecution was a weaponization of justice? 782 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 1: And if so, can we agree that maybe, just maybe 783 00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,080 Speaker 1: there was a reason that we had a precedent of 784 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,120 Speaker 1: nearly two hundred and fifty years in this country that 785 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:52,080 Speaker 1: we didn't prosecute former presidents? All right, Big Dan O'Donnell's show, 786 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:57,520 Speaker 1: Exclusive anti ice posters all over an MPs school? What 787 00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:01,440 Speaker 1: if anything is the district going to you about it? Wait? 788 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 1: Am I missing something? Are we the home of Wisconsin 789 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:06,160 Speaker 1: Badgers basketball? 790 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:06,399 Speaker 3: Now? 791 00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,880 Speaker 1: Are we? WYSN? 792 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:11,880 Speaker 3: Is that? 793 00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 1: I just I heard a promo for Wisconsin Badgers basketball 794 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 1: on News Talk eleven thirty WISN. I said, huh, seems 795 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:26,840 Speaker 1: something you might want to tell your afternoon host.

Tomorrow seems to be 946 01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,560 Speaker 1: the big night for trick or treating Tomorrow and Sunday 947 01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 1: is Milwaukee still doing Sunday afternoon they're doing actual Halloween. 948 01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:52,160 Speaker 1: You know, I just sort of figure out where we've 949 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,280 Speaker 1: only got one that's still trick or treats. I mean 950 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:57,800 Speaker 1: we have an adult I've got an eighteen year old 951 01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:00,280 Speaker 1: son and then a fifteen year old. I mean the 952 01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 1: high schoolers they like to trick or treat ironically, well 953 01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,840 Speaker 1: kind of half ironically and half Hey, I want some 954 01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:10,280 Speaker 1: free candy? Why not? But as my oldest Puddy's like, 955 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,800 Speaker 1: I worked all summer, I could just you know, buy 956 01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:17,240 Speaker 1: my own candy. Okay, well yes, it's more fun to 957 01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:25,800 Speaker 1: just kind of get it for free. Though, my producer, 958 01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,360 Speaker 1: that's how you know he's not smoking weed because he's 959 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 1: not constantly craving candy. This is like Mark Belling and Paul. 960 01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:36,440 Speaker 1: You're getting me constantly thrown off the actual topic, which 961 01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:44,959 Speaker 1: is a rather disturbing poster that is in the Milwaukee 962 01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:51,040 Speaker 1: Parkside School for the arts, lunch room and multiple classrooms. 963 01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 1: This is a magnet school on South Hellll Avenue that 964 01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:00,120 Speaker 1: houses K four through eighth grade. There are several hundred 965 01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:08,480 Speaker 1: students in this school. The poster is written in English, 966 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:15,520 Speaker 1: but it has the I believe Spanish phrase no pasaran 967 01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:21,640 Speaker 1: written in all caps at the top. No passeran means 968 01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:25,240 Speaker 1: you shall not pass or they shall not pass, sort 969 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 1: of like Gandolf in Lord of the Rings to the 970 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:33,240 Speaker 1: big thing. Was it a ball rog or something on 971 01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:38,400 Speaker 1: the bridge? You shall not pass? No pasaran. There is 972 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:44,200 Speaker 1: also a giant hand that is reaching out from a 973 01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:50,960 Speaker 1: school building that is blocking the entrance of someone wearing 974 01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 1: what appears to say police ice on their shirt, and 975 01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,000 Speaker 1: on the bottom it says ice out of our school 976 01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:04,120 Speaker 1: and communities. Now you might say, okay, well, this is 977 01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:09,480 Speaker 1: just a standard issue anti ice protet. There's a flag 978 01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 1: coming up from the school that says education not deportation. 979 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:18,720 Speaker 1: The hand does not appear to be blocking ice from 980 01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:23,200 Speaker 1: going in, but the ice guy is falling backwards out 981 01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:27,280 Speaker 1: of the school, meaning that giant hand is pushing the 982 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:31,720 Speaker 1: ice agent out. The implication and there's like a big 983 01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,920 Speaker 1: kind of black, jagged highlight on the ice age. I'm 984 01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:39,040 Speaker 1: gonna tweet this out in just a second so you 985 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:43,840 Speaker 1: can see exactly what I'm talking about. He's falling backwards, 986 01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:48,080 Speaker 1: he looks to be in pain. The implication is we 987 01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 1: will push you out of the school. No pasaron also 988 01:06:54,720 --> 01:07:01,000 Speaker 1: is a well known phrase associated with Antifa. It apparently 989 01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:08,400 Speaker 1: dates back to the Spanish Civil War, used especially by 990 01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:16,840 Speaker 1: the Republican faction to defend Madrid against fascists. French General 991 01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:24,440 Speaker 1: Robert Neivelle used a similar slogan in World War One, 992 01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:30,160 Speaker 1: and it has been used in modern times as a 993 01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:35,800 Speaker 1: symbol of resistance against fascism and oppression, often heard at 994 01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:41,720 Speaker 1: political demonstrations or in activists movements. So we've got an 995 01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:47,600 Speaker 1: Antifa poster shoving an ice agent all over a school 996 01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:51,480 Speaker 1: on the South side Milwaukee Park Side School for the Arts. 997 01:07:53,880 --> 01:08:01,880 Speaker 1: I took a look at mps's signage policies. Signs are 998 01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:09,360 Speaker 1: not permitted, so too, I would assume, would be signs 999 01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:16,080 Speaker 1: that implicitly, I guess, suggest violence. Now, of course, someone 1000 01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:20,839 Speaker 1: looking at this sign could say, well, it's just the giant, weird, 1001 01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:25,320 Speaker 1: hairy hand coming out of the school blocking the ice agent. 1002 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:28,760 Speaker 1: From going in, but it really does look the art 1003 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,680 Speaker 1: makes it seem like the ice agent has just been 1004 01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:35,400 Speaker 1: shoved out of this school. Now, if you look very 1005 01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:41,280 Speaker 1: closely in the windows of this you will see a 1006 01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:45,759 Speaker 1: raised fist in one of the windows, clearly a symbol 1007 01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,680 Speaker 1: of resistance and all of that. Then there is a 1008 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:52,760 Speaker 1: student walking out of one of the doors holding a 1009 01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:57,360 Speaker 1: sign that says walk out with a raised fist on 1010 01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:02,200 Speaker 1: his shirt. This is a medical left wing sign that's 1011 01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 1: up all over in an elementary school in Milwaukee. A 1012 01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:13,439 Speaker 1: number of parents have apparently complained about this, and the 1013 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:17,960 Speaker 1: administration has done nothing about it. One source told me, 1014 01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:21,519 Speaker 1: I am very concerned about these political opinions being allowed 1015 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,800 Speaker 1: to be displayed in our schools, but I am especially 1016 01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:27,160 Speaker 1: concerned with the continued violent culture on the streets of 1017 01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:31,080 Speaker 1: our city that anything depicting violence against police officers be 1018 01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,439 Speaker 1: allowed to be displayed around the impressionable minds of our children. 1019 01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:40,479 Speaker 1: This source is absolutely correct. Source also tells me that 1020 01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:46,160 Speaker 1: administrators have been made aware of the signs but are 1021 01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,960 Speaker 1: not doing anything about them. There is one prominently displayed 1022 01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:54,160 Speaker 1: in the school's lunch room. There are also others that 1023 01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:57,519 Speaker 1: are around the schools. In various classrooms. The one that 1024 01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:00,640 Speaker 1: I was sent a picture of appears to be on 1025 01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:11,679 Speaker 1: a hallway. No Pasaran, they shall not pass violent imagery 1026 01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:17,200 Speaker 1: against ICE agents. At a time when violence against ICE 1027 01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:22,600 Speaker 1: agents is sadly becoming all to common, there are protests 1028 01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:29,600 Speaker 1: pretty much everywhere, attempted murders of ICE agents, very prominently 1029 01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:31,880 Speaker 1: on both the fourth of July and just a couple 1030 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:36,679 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, both in Texas, an attempt to storm 1031 01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:40,360 Speaker 1: an ICE facility leading to the arrest of a congresswoman 1032 01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:45,160 Speaker 1: in New Jersey. And now you've got this sort of 1033 01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:51,400 Speaker 1: propaganda popping up in Milwaukee's schools, made even worse by 1034 01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:58,120 Speaker 1: the fact that this is clearly Antifa goon rhetoric that 1035 01:10:58,160 --> 01:11:04,920 Speaker 1: they're they're using the slash of Antifa. So not only 1036 01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:09,200 Speaker 1: is this in clear violation of mps's policies for signage 1037 01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:13,320 Speaker 1: in schools, it certainly appears to my eyes anyway, and 1038 01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:16,120 Speaker 1: again I will post this during the upcoming commercial break. 1039 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:21,040 Speaker 1: It appears to my eyes anyway to be a clear, 1040 01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:28,240 Speaker 1: clear image of someone pushing an ICE agent down. You're 1041 01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,400 Speaker 1: listening to the Dan o'donald Show'll be right back in 1042 01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:34,920 Speaker 1: just a second, all right, I have got the sign 1043 01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:41,400 Speaker 1: in uh question posted on my X page at Dan 1044 01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,040 Speaker 1: o'donald's show. It is up at the Milwaukee Parkside School 1045 01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:48,960 Speaker 1: for the Arts, which is a four K through eighth 1046 01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:54,160 Speaker 1: grade school on the city's south side. It depicts an 1047 01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:57,320 Speaker 1: ICE agent appearing to be shoved to the ground with 1048 01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:01,519 Speaker 1: a giant hand protruding from a school. The sign on 1049 01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:05,960 Speaker 1: the school in this poster says education not Deportation. On top, 1050 01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 1: it says in big bold letters in Spanish no pasaran, 1051 01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:14,840 Speaker 1: which is an anti fascist phrase associated first with the 1052 01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:20,679 Speaker 1: Spanish Civil War but now with Antifa. At the bottom, 1053 01:12:20,680 --> 01:12:24,920 Speaker 1: it says Ice out of our schools and communities. This 1054 01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:37,800 Speaker 1: brings us to our unsung heroes. The unsung hero of 1055 01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:41,439 Speaker 1: the day is actually the parent who served as a 1056 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:46,040 Speaker 1: source to bring this story to my attention. Apparently multiple 1057 01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:49,160 Speaker 1: parents have been complaining about these signs which are up 1058 01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,120 Speaker 1: all over in the cafeteria and public areas of this school, 1059 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:57,800 Speaker 1: in classrooms all over. Administration for the school is well 1060 01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 1: aware of it, but this parent said, look, there's no 1061 01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:05,320 Speaker 1: way anything is going to happen unless these people are 1062 01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:10,200 Speaker 1: publicly called out for a violent sign which uses Antifa 1063 01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:14,120 Speaker 1: language and depicts an ice officer shoved to the ground. 1064 01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:17,920 Speaker 1: This is completely inappropriate. It's also a very clear violation 1065 01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:24,200 Speaker 1: of mps's signage policy for school buildings. So this parent 1066 01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,760 Speaker 1: took it to me and I did the rest. If 1067 01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:32,520 Speaker 1: you see something in your kids' schools in local government, 1068 01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:36,880 Speaker 1: I would implore you let me know about it. I 1069 01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:40,760 Speaker 1: will investigate. We'll get our team on it if necessary. 1070 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:45,200 Speaker 1: Sources are always fully protected. No one will ever ever 1071 01:13:45,439 --> 01:13:48,240 Speaker 1: ever figure out it's you. All you need to do. 1072 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:53,599 Speaker 1: Email me at DoD at iHeartMedia dot com. Just let 1073 01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,880 Speaker 1: me know the issue. I'll take care of the rest. 1074 01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:01,000 Speaker 1: Usually I know exactly who to talk to, exactly how 1075 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:04,320 Speaker 1: to turn this into a thing. So that source who 1076 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:08,760 Speaker 1: saw something at the kids' school said, this is highly inappropriate. 1077 01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:12,880 Speaker 1: It needs to be called out, your unsung hero of 1078 01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:17,559 Speaker 1: the day when we come back. The White House denies 1079 01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:24,719 Speaker 1: Milwaukee's request for additional additional not all federal disaster relief, 1080 01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:29,880 Speaker 1: but additional disaster release, and the counties executive as well 1081 01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:33,559 Speaker 1: as the newspaper of record are acting and making it 1082 01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:38,240 Speaker 1: seem as though all disaster relief was denied. Plus big 1083 01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:43,439 Speaker 1: controversy and Hell's corners over a deeply disturbing book aimed 1084 01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,240 Speaker 1: at children, and much much more, including how bizarre all Next, 1085 01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:53,880 Speaker 1: the Trump administration has denied FEMA assistance not to individuals, 1086 01:14:54,120 --> 01:15:00,280 Speaker 1: but rather two specific counties for public infrastructure damage in 1087 01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,240 Speaker 1: the historic flooding August ninth through the twelfth, And to 1088 01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:10,479 Speaker 1: hear Democrats scream about this, you would think that the 1089 01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:16,879 Speaker 1: President denied all FEMA ad Last month, of course, FEMA 1090 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:21,960 Speaker 1: granted a request for roughly thirty million dollars in individual 1091 01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:27,360 Speaker 1: funds Milwaukee, Washington, Waukeshaw Counties. These are funds paid directly 1092 01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:32,240 Speaker 1: to individuals who suffered catastrophic loss as a result of 1093 01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:38,040 Speaker 1: those floods. As part of that request, Governor Evers also 1094 01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:44,559 Speaker 1: wanted twenty six excuse me, twenty six million dollars for 1095 01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:52,920 Speaker 1: public infrastructure for Milwaukee, Ozaki, Washington, Waukeshaw, Door County, and 1096 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:57,960 Speaker 1: Grant County as a result of that incredible flooding, the 1097 01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:03,920 Speaker 1: thousand Year storm, as it was called. Here's the letter 1098 01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:09,520 Speaker 1: that was just sent today from Keith Touri, the Associate 1099 01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:17,120 Speaker 1: Administrator of the Office of Response and Recovery for FEMA. 1100 01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:20,519 Speaker 1: Dear Governor Eavers, this is in response to your August seventh, 1101 01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:23,639 Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty twenty five, requests for a major disaster 1102 01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:27,000 Speaker 1: declaration for the state of Wisconsin as a result of 1103 01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:30,240 Speaker 1: severe storm, straight line wins, flooding, and mudslides during the 1104 01:16:30,240 --> 01:16:32,719 Speaker 1: period of August ninth through the twelfth, twenty twenty five. 1105 01:16:33,200 --> 01:16:38,519 Speaker 1: You specifically requested individual assistance from Milwaukee, Washington, and Waukeshaw Counties, 1106 01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:42,800 Speaker 1: public assistance for door grant Milwaukee, Ozaki, Washington and was 1107 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:49,360 Speaker 1: Waukeshaw Counties, and hazard mitigation statewide. The September eleventh, twenty 1108 01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:55,479 Speaker 1: twenty five Major Disaster Declaration authorized individual assistance for Milwaukee, Washington, 1109 01:16:55,560 --> 01:17:00,360 Speaker 1: and Waukeshaw Counties. The impact to individuals and household was 1110 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:06,000 Speaker 1: significant in the areas designated for individual assistance. However, based 1111 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:09,400 Speaker 1: on the results of the joint Federal, State, and local 1112 01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:13,840 Speaker 1: government preliminary damage assessments, it has been determined that the 1113 01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:19,000 Speaker 1: public assistance program is not warranted. Therefore, your request for 1114 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:24,280 Speaker 1: the public assistance program is denied. This denial may be 1115 01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:27,080 Speaker 1: appealed within thirty days after the date of this letter. 1116 01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:29,920 Speaker 1: The appeal, along with additional information justifying the appeal, should 1117 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:31,800 Speaker 1: be submitted to me through blah Blah blah blah blah 1118 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:40,960 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. Already you have County Executive David 1119 01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:46,600 Speaker 1: Crowley out screaming about this in a press conference this afternoon. 1120 01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:51,600 Speaker 1: Tony evers in a statement, denying federal assistance doesn't just 1121 01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:54,639 Speaker 1: delay recovery. It sends a message to our communities that 1122 01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:56,840 Speaker 1: they are on their own and that the Trump administration 1123 01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:59,680 Speaker 1: doesn't think over twenty six million dollars in damages to 1124 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:04,639 Speaker 1: public infrastructure is worthy of their help. I couldn't disagree more. 1125 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,880 Speaker 1: What does that imply communities are on their own? Meaning 1126 01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:14,719 Speaker 1: people are on their own right, Nothing could be further 1127 01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:21,600 Speaker 1: from the truth. Trump actually did respond to the individual 1128 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:28,000 Speaker 1: requests and said, look, there is massive damage to individual 1129 01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:33,840 Speaker 1: homes and properties. We are going to grant individual assistance. 1130 01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:39,120 Speaker 1: This does not, however, rise to the level of federal assistance. 1131 01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:45,040 Speaker 1: When there is federal assistance, typically the damage amounts are 1132 01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:50,240 Speaker 1: in the hundreds of millions of dollars. This, in other words, 1133 01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:54,920 Speaker 1: is something that yes, the state and counties are going 1134 01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:59,519 Speaker 1: to be on their own about. Apparently, the federal government 1135 01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:04,840 Speaker 1: now has a more stringent review of what rises to 1136 01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:09,439 Speaker 1: the level of what we can spend limited resources on. 1137 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:16,439 Speaker 1: I should point out at this point, were we not 1138 01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:22,200 Speaker 1: talking exactly one year ago about how all of FEMA's 1139 01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:27,240 Speaker 1: resources were being squandered because they were helping with the 1140 01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:33,080 Speaker 1: resettlement of illegal aliens. Were we not talking about how 1141 01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:40,080 Speaker 1: FEMA funds were actually being sent to Ukraine instead of 1142 01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:43,640 Speaker 1: being used to help those flood victims in North Carolina? 1143 01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:47,360 Speaker 1: Was this not a massive issue in the campaign a 1144 01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:51,400 Speaker 1: year ago that we did not have enough money in 1145 01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:55,639 Speaker 1: FEMA because FEMA was squandering all its funds on things 1146 01:19:55,680 --> 01:20:00,479 Speaker 1: that weren't emergencies. This is sort of the ca consequence 1147 01:20:00,520 --> 01:20:02,840 Speaker 1: of that. This isn't Donald Trump. And do you know 1148 01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:06,200 Speaker 1: what I am just waiting for? Already there's a headline 1149 01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:10,559 Speaker 1: on MSNBC because Alaska and there was another red state 1150 01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:14,880 Speaker 1: that apparently did have massive damage where they were able 1151 01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:18,120 Speaker 1: to get and I believe Alaska's was an individual request 1152 01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:21,599 Speaker 1: and not a public request. There is already well, Red 1153 01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:25,719 Speaker 1: states are getting help, but Blue states are not there 1154 01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:32,080 Speaker 1: on their own. Which is interesting because do you remember 1155 01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:38,439 Speaker 1: last year? It is it's remarkable how short memories left 1156 01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:42,000 Speaker 1: wingers tend to have about this stuff. Do you remember 1157 01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:49,000 Speaker 1: the FEMA administrator in Florida following hurricane or tropical storm damage. There. 1158 01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:53,600 Speaker 1: Who was instructing people to just go pet She was 1159 01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:57,000 Speaker 1: instructing her people. It's caught on text. If you had 1160 01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:00,920 Speaker 1: a Trump sign in your yard, she was saying, go 1161 01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,479 Speaker 1: pass you. We're not going to go and help out 1162 01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:10,560 Speaker 1: these people. Nobody remembers that. Huh, Well, Pepperidge Farm remembers. 1163 01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:19,600 Speaker 1: And now, after a thorough review, Wisconsin doesn't you know 1164 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:24,240 Speaker 1: qualify individual Wisconsin ice did? In fact, you should have 1165 01:21:24,320 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 1: gotten your aid. I can actually remember when the Journal 1166 01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:32,439 Speaker 1: Sentinel was complaining that the aid didn't come in fast enough. Well, 1167 01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 1: Wisconsin's governor waited like two weeks after the stupid flooding 1168 01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:41,800 Speaker 1: to request federal disaster relief. That seems like it's a 1169 01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:45,840 Speaker 1: bit of an issue, does it not. If I was 1170 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:49,679 Speaker 1: the governor of this state, first thing I'm doing. First 1171 01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,920 Speaker 1: of all, I would have enough of a relationship with 1172 01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:56,960 Speaker 1: a president Democrat or Republican where I'd be able to 1173 01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:59,200 Speaker 1: call up his people and say, hey, man, we have 1174 01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:02,679 Speaker 1: had just massive flooding here. We need to get FEMA 1175 01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:06,600 Speaker 1: out quick. What can you do for us? Or I 1176 01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:10,400 Speaker 1: would leverage my relationships with say, oh, I don't know, 1177 01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:15,400 Speaker 1: Congressman Brian Style, who somehow was able to get President 1178 01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:18,439 Speaker 1: Trump to be on the ground with the National Guard 1179 01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:25,160 Speaker 1: within a matter of hours when Kenosha was burning. Remember that, Nope, Nope, 1180 01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:28,200 Speaker 1: couldn't do that. He waited almost two weeks to send 1181 01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:32,320 Speaker 1: a letter requesting disaster relief. And now when that request 1182 01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:36,800 Speaker 1: was denied because it's simply according to a calculation from FEMA, 1183 01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:40,040 Speaker 1: I guarantee Trump had no idea about this. This is 1184 01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:45,080 Speaker 1: not Trump denying. This is FEMA denying based on whether 1185 01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:51,080 Speaker 1: or not it rises to a level of where where. Okay, 1186 01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:55,519 Speaker 1: you understand why individuals would we would get money released 1187 01:22:55,520 --> 01:23:00,719 Speaker 1: for individuals as opposed to government. Right. This is government buildings, 1188 01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:04,120 Speaker 1: government infrastructure, that sort of thing like if say, government 1189 01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:08,080 Speaker 1: vehicles flood and the insurance doesn't cover it, you have 1190 01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:11,320 Speaker 1: to go to Government has way more money than individuals. 1191 01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:16,040 Speaker 1: Somebody loses a house, somebody lose it, that's devastating. The 1192 01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:20,360 Speaker 1: federal government steps in because they simply can't. There's no 1193 01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:23,480 Speaker 1: way they would be able to rebuild that. The presumption 1194 01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:28,719 Speaker 1: is that Milwaukee County and its County Executive David Crowley, 1195 01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:33,120 Speaker 1: would actually have the wherewithal financially to be able to 1196 01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:36,160 Speaker 1: figure this out on their own, or they would be 1197 01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:39,120 Speaker 1: able to get more money from the state, or the 1198 01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:42,720 Speaker 1: state's Democrat governor would actually have the wherewithal and have 1199 01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:44,920 Speaker 1: enough money to be able to I mean, were we 1200 01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:49,160 Speaker 1: not just bragging about the potential for a structural surplus 1201 01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:53,680 Speaker 1: in the next budget? I seem to recall that maybe 1202 01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:59,160 Speaker 1: and hear me out, maybe if Milwaukee County didn't fritter 1203 01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,639 Speaker 1: away all of the new shared revenue it got from 1204 01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:06,320 Speaker 1: the state literally a year ago, as well as the 1205 01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:10,519 Speaker 1: new increased sales tax revenue from that same Act twelve 1206 01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:14,519 Speaker 1: legislation that authorized Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee to, 1207 01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:18,599 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee County's case, bump up its sales tax point 1208 01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:21,320 Speaker 1: two percent and in the City of Milwaukee's case, actually 1209 01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:24,800 Speaker 1: implement a new two percent citywide sales tax, if they 1210 01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:28,440 Speaker 1: had maybe used that money a little more wisely instead 1211 01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:33,840 Speaker 1: of giving raises to literally every politically connected Democrat in 1212 01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:38,639 Speaker 1: city government. According to an exclusive story that we broke 1213 01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:42,120 Speaker 1: in conjunction with State Senator Van Wanguard, accounting to roughly 1214 01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:45,679 Speaker 1: ninety eight percent of all of the new city revenue 1215 01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:51,639 Speaker 1: went to raises and salaries for employees, except, of course, 1216 01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:55,200 Speaker 1: police officers. They had to go to arbitration before the 1217 01:24:55,240 --> 01:25:01,160 Speaker 1: city folded and proposed a new contract for them. Forgive 1218 01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:06,519 Speaker 1: me if I am not nearly as oh no, oh, 1219 01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:13,519 Speaker 1: my goodness, woe is Milwaukee County. You'll notice Wakashaw County 1220 01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:18,120 Speaker 1: is not. You don't see Paul Faroh out there screaming 1221 01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:23,639 Speaker 1: bloody murder. Why because Wakashaw County has its fiscal house 1222 01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:27,840 Speaker 1: in order. It's not paying untold millions of dollars every 1223 01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:34,160 Speaker 1: year in ridiculous pension payments that it could never ever afford. 1224 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,320 Speaker 1: And yet we've got the media covering this as though 1225 01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:43,920 Speaker 1: Trump denied individual payments. The implication in the headline, well, 1226 01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:50,480 Speaker 1: he didn't know. It is a supplemental individuals got relief, 1227 01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:55,760 Speaker 1: all right, fall fortune cash contest word this hour check 1228 01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:59,000 Speaker 1: cche ck check. You got until fifty five past the 1229 01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:01,519 Speaker 1: hour to go to our website enter the keyword check 1230 01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:05,400 Speaker 1: to enter the contest for this hour. I went a 1231 01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:09,280 Speaker 1: little longer than I thought I was going to. Seriously, 1232 01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:13,439 Speaker 1: this FEMA thing is just so damned irritating. There are 1233 01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:19,800 Speaker 1: finite resources. When you spend some of those finite resources 1234 01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:24,200 Speaker 1: on things that are not technically emergencies. And remember how 1235 01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:27,439 Speaker 1: many think pieces we got when Trump said, well, they 1236 01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:32,840 Speaker 1: depleted the Federal Emergency Management Fund to pay for resettling 1237 01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:39,679 Speaker 1: illegals under George under Joe Biden. No no, no, fact 1238 01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:43,280 Speaker 1: checked into oblivion. No no, no, FEMA actually used a 1239 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:47,599 Speaker 1: separate fund. You see. Oh okay, this was the same 1240 01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:51,880 Speaker 1: game they played with the Iran funding the hamas October 1241 01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:55,200 Speaker 1: seventh terror attacks. No no, no, no no. It wasn't 1242 01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:59,639 Speaker 1: them using the money that Biden had just unfrozen. That 1243 01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:05,560 Speaker 1: all bust. They use different money to Oh okay, okay, 1244 01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:10,000 Speaker 1: well they had this other money available to them, but 1245 01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:13,840 Speaker 1: they used different But they use different dollar bills to 1246 01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:17,400 Speaker 1: pay hamas than the dollar bills that we can check 1247 01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:20,519 Speaker 1: the serial numbers. They're different. Okay, Well that makes it 1248 01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:25,400 Speaker 1: all good. Then it's the same thing with the the FEMA. 1249 01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:31,759 Speaker 1: Well it's not that fun the emergency fund. You see that. Well, 1250 01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:34,920 Speaker 1: if they have less of it, and if some of 1251 01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:38,760 Speaker 1: it is going to Ukraine, and if some of it 1252 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:44,240 Speaker 1: is going to illegal alien resettlement and care, then you 1253 01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:48,320 Speaker 1: got less money for American citizens. Remember what it, Biden? 1254 01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:51,040 Speaker 1: What it Biden? Give them seven hundred bucks? They got 1255 01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:56,479 Speaker 1: seven hundred bucks. Your average illegal is getting like five 1256 01:27:56,720 --> 01:28:00,320 Speaker 1: six thousand dollars to be resettled in their new home. 1257 01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:04,520 Speaker 1: But an American citizen in North Carolina who loses everything 1258 01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:08,000 Speaker 1: he has ever built, gets seven hundred bucks at a 1259 01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:11,240 Speaker 1: pad on the head four weeks before an election, with 1260 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:15,560 Speaker 1: the press saying, oh, yes, this is great emergency response. Meanwhile, 1261 01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:21,960 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars flows into Wisconsin Heights individually who could 1262 01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:24,880 Speaker 1: never afford rebuilding on their own. And look, folks, I 1263 01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:29,400 Speaker 1: was incredibly lucky, all right. I stayed up late that 1264 01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:36,639 Speaker 1: night watching the massive river form in the area behind 1265 01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:40,200 Speaker 1: my house. Fortunately we live in a new subdivision. The 1266 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,720 Speaker 1: drainage is perfect. None of those houses flooded, even though 1267 01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:47,640 Speaker 1: we live right near some wetland. That wetland was like 1268 01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:51,800 Speaker 1: a raging river. Our house was in touch. We had 1269 01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:54,000 Speaker 1: an issue, we had a bit of a mud slide 1270 01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,080 Speaker 1: because part of our lawn wasn't in, but that was 1271 01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:59,719 Speaker 1: taking It was a totally minor thing. Was nothing. I understand. 1272 01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:04,559 Speaker 1: People just their houses were devastated, and much more than 1273 01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:12,080 Speaker 1: just the physical house, the memories, the film, the pictures, trophies, 1274 01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, stuff that you have in storage, but you 1275 01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:19,840 Speaker 1: know it's a part of your family history, your lore, 1276 01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:25,960 Speaker 1: your you know, legacy, just gone. I get it. Those 1277 01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:30,000 Speaker 1: people were taken care of instant. Were there anybody in 1278 01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:32,960 Speaker 1: Wisconsin was complaint? Hey, I FEMA didn't take care of me. 1279 01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:36,720 Speaker 1: Under Biden, you had those poor people in North Carolina. Hell, 1280 01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:41,519 Speaker 1: there are in California, and this is state. This isn't federal. 1281 01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:46,640 Speaker 1: The federal takes care of the immediate emergency disaster response, 1282 01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:49,200 Speaker 1: then the state takes off. Do you know how many 1283 01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:53,120 Speaker 1: of those homes in Malibu they've rebuilt after those devastating fires. 1284 01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:58,559 Speaker 1: Almost none, because of all the bureaucratic red tape that 1285 01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:04,400 Speaker 1: goes into constructing a home in California. This is just 1286 01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:10,360 Speaker 1: perfectly illustrative of how terrible Democrats are in managing this. 1287 01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:14,519 Speaker 1: And then the attempt at deflection, Oh, it's Trump, it's Trump. 1288 01:30:15,160 --> 01:30:19,840 Speaker 1: How dare he deny was? God? No, he's denying Milwaukee 1289 01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:25,639 Speaker 1: County And frankly, I'm not entirely sure how much damage 1290 01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:30,639 Speaker 1: public infrastructure to Milwaukee County took. I'm sure the fair 1291 01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:34,160 Speaker 1: Grounds that was sort of ground zero for a whole 1292 01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:37,960 Speaker 1: lot of the flooding. I'm not saying there wasn but 1293 01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:40,840 Speaker 1: twenty six million dollars worth of damage. Had a public 1294 01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:46,840 Speaker 1: infrastructure okay, and Door County. Way up in Door County, 1295 01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:49,479 Speaker 1: they had a bunch of public infrastructure damage, but no 1296 01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:53,799 Speaker 1: damage that would rise to the level of federal disaster 1297 01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:58,280 Speaker 1: declaration for individuals. Okay, Okay, Grant County seems kind of random, 1298 01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:03,920 Speaker 1: but okay, random disaster. It was a calculation that was 1299 01:31:04,520 --> 01:31:10,599 Speaker 1: apparently determined not to warrant that sort of response. All right, 1300 01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:12,720 Speaker 1: when we come back here on the Dan o'donald Show, 1301 01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:15,439 Speaker 1: I do want to get to this before we get 1302 01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:18,400 Speaker 1: to how bizarre, taking a look at the stranger stories 1303 01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:21,439 Speaker 1: of the past seven days. Controversy at the Hills Corners 1304 01:31:21,520 --> 01:31:27,280 Speaker 1: Public Library over a book that gives explicit instructions on 1305 01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:31,040 Speaker 1: how to perform sex acts and it's in the kids section. 1306 01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:36,800 Speaker 1: Come on, people, Classical Conservatism and contemporary style here on 1307 01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:41,520 Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show. Welcome back to a big protest 1308 01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:47,800 Speaker 1: outside the Hills Corners Public Library yesterday calling for the 1309 01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:53,799 Speaker 1: dismissal of library director Stephanie lewin Lane over a collection 1310 01:31:53,920 --> 01:32:00,519 Speaker 1: of LGBTQ plus minus exclamation point themed books claim are 1311 01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:05,720 Speaker 1: harmful to children. The protest was organized by Wisconsin Mass resistance, 1312 01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:09,640 Speaker 1: and it took place ahead of the library's Board of 1313 01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:15,160 Speaker 1: trustees meeting. A flyer circulating on social media listed several 1314 01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:18,240 Speaker 1: titles the group says should be removed from the children's section, 1315 01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:25,719 Speaker 1: including Let's Talk About It, It's Perfectly Normal, Heartstopper, Volume five, Queer, 1316 01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:31,560 Speaker 1: There and Everywhere, and this Book is Gay. According to 1317 01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:34,400 Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the protest comes more than a 1318 01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:38,880 Speaker 1: year after the Hails Corners Library Board voted unanimously to 1319 01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:42,719 Speaker 1: keep three challenged books on its shelves, rejecting a residence 1320 01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:46,800 Speaker 1: request for their removal. In that twenty twenty four decision, 1321 01:32:46,880 --> 01:32:50,000 Speaker 1: the board found Lewin Lane and staff had followed proper 1322 01:32:50,040 --> 01:32:54,640 Speaker 1: review procedures and that the titles, including this Book is 1323 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:58,600 Speaker 1: Gay and Let's Talk About It, aligned with the library's 1324 01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:06,360 Speaker 1: mission of providing act says to information. All right, let's 1325 01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:12,519 Speaker 1: talk about it, specifically the book This Book Is Gay. 1326 01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:16,720 Speaker 1: I picked that one out just at random, out of 1327 01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:20,880 Speaker 1: the titles that were mentioned, because, frankly, I keep hearing 1328 01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:23,240 Speaker 1: about it as being one of the worst ones for 1329 01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:28,240 Speaker 1: just how sexually explicit it is. Also, I like the 1330 01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:32,040 Speaker 1: title this Book is Gay. Kudos to the author Juno 1331 01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:36,200 Speaker 1: Dawson I believe his name is. He piqued my interest 1332 01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:42,679 Speaker 1: with the gay book. Do you know what's in the 1333 01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:49,040 Speaker 1: This book is gay? It's a nonfiction book about growing 1334 01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:56,960 Speaker 1: up LGBTQIA plus minus exclamation point, and there are multiple 1335 01:33:57,080 --> 01:34:05,400 Speaker 1: chapters devoted specifically to how to perform sex acts. At 1336 01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:09,720 Speaker 1: this point, I am going to demand that if you 1337 01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:13,320 Speaker 1: have kids in the car, you turn down the radio. 1338 01:34:13,520 --> 01:34:18,599 Speaker 1: Come back in about ten minutes. The Happy, fun Silly, 1339 01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:22,120 Speaker 1: how Bizarre, Strange Stories of the Week segment is coming 1340 01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:25,719 Speaker 1: up next. For now, turn on a couple of songs. 1341 01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:31,240 Speaker 1: Put on Monster Mash and then Thriller and let's see 1342 01:34:31,240 --> 01:34:35,160 Speaker 1: what would be another one. That's another great Halloween song. Oh, 1343 01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:40,960 Speaker 1: put on black Magic by Little Mix, Thriller and Werewolves 1344 01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,800 Speaker 1: of London. If you want come on back to us, 1345 01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:54,120 Speaker 1: all right? Final warning three two and one. He refers 1346 01:34:54,160 --> 01:35:05,559 Speaker 1: to the author Handies, blow eas and Bumming for Women 1347 01:35:06,840 --> 01:35:12,840 Speaker 1: on how two women can pleasure each other, fingers, oral 1348 01:35:13,720 --> 01:35:19,280 Speaker 1: and toys and strapots. Now, the Hills Corners Library Board 1349 01:35:20,080 --> 01:35:25,080 Speaker 1: and many other library boards and school boards have determined 1350 01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:31,280 Speaker 1: that teaching kids about handies is perfectly fine. Now I 1351 01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:34,960 Speaker 1: am actually running the risk that I will get in 1352 01:35:35,080 --> 01:35:39,479 Speaker 1: deep trouble for talking about this just by reading on 1353 01:35:39,680 --> 01:35:45,280 Speaker 1: the air. What is in a book that is specifically 1354 01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:51,519 Speaker 1: marketed to children in a public library? Not only that, 1355 01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:58,080 Speaker 1: we're the weirdos for saying, hey, maybe the handy blowy 1356 01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:01,640 Speaker 1: book should not be in the cause section at the library. 1357 01:36:04,439 --> 01:36:09,719 Speaker 1: You ready, let's play career Russian Roulette by reading from 1358 01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:16,280 Speaker 1: the kid's book that libs think is appropriate. Handies. Perhaps 1359 01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:19,320 Speaker 1: the most important skill you will master as a gay 1360 01:36:19,560 --> 01:36:24,240 Speaker 1: or by man is the timeless classic the hand I'm 1361 01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:28,320 Speaker 1: not even sure I can say this job. The good 1362 01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:31,759 Speaker 1: news is you can practice on yourself. The bad news 1363 01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:35,599 Speaker 1: each guy has been very used to become very used 1364 01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:39,040 Speaker 1: to his own way of shall we say doing that. 1365 01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:43,519 Speaker 1: Learning to how to find a partner's personal style can 1366 01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:47,519 Speaker 1: take ages, but it can be very rewarding when you 1367 01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:53,679 Speaker 1: do something they don't teach you in school. Is that 1368 01:36:54,160 --> 01:37:01,160 Speaker 1: in order to be able to finish at all, you 1369 01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:08,800 Speaker 1: or your partner may need to finish off with a handy. 1370 01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:13,400 Speaker 1: A lot of people find it hard to through other 1371 01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:16,679 Speaker 1: types of sex. This is fine and certainly not something 1372 01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:22,400 Speaker 1: you have to apologize for. A good thing is all 1373 01:37:22,439 --> 01:37:26,040 Speaker 1: about the risk action. Rub you know what, I can't 1374 01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:31,200 Speaker 1: even do it rub the head of his back and 1375 01:37:31,240 --> 01:37:35,519 Speaker 1: forth with your This isn't a kid's book. This is 1376 01:37:35,640 --> 01:37:39,479 Speaker 1: a chuck. This is marketed to And then they have 1377 01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:43,639 Speaker 1: the call in this book, well, you know, schools teach 1378 01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:47,240 Speaker 1: sex for heterosexual kids starting at eleven years old. They 1379 01:37:47,320 --> 01:37:53,760 Speaker 1: don't give tips on how to give good those I 1380 01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:56,200 Speaker 1: honestly I thought I was going to be able to 1381 01:37:56,320 --> 01:38:02,639 Speaker 1: do it read this stuff on the first of Ironically enough, 1382 01:38:03,840 --> 01:38:05,800 Speaker 1: you want to bet some of the libs who listen 1383 01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:08,679 Speaker 1: to this show every single minute to try to find 1384 01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:11,160 Speaker 1: something that they can use to throw me off there 1385 01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:14,280 Speaker 1: they would be able to use that. That's sort of 1386 01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:18,559 Speaker 1: my point. This is why parents have done a great 1387 01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:22,760 Speaker 1: job of when they're challenging these books. These are not 1388 01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:29,800 Speaker 1: banned books anymore than say pornhub dot com would be 1389 01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:34,400 Speaker 1: restricted on a library's computer. It's inappropriate, It is overtly 1390 01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:38,920 Speaker 1: sexual in nature. Not only that, there are graphic depictions 1391 01:38:39,040 --> 01:38:42,479 Speaker 1: of naked people in these books. This is not an 1392 01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:46,800 Speaker 1: anatomy textbook. It is not a sex ed book. When 1393 01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:49,800 Speaker 1: you're giving tips on how to use sex toys and 1394 01:38:50,040 --> 01:38:54,320 Speaker 1: lube to twelve year olds. First of all, I question 1395 01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:58,040 Speaker 1: whether you should be within one hundred feet of a school, 1396 01:38:58,360 --> 01:39:02,519 Speaker 1: let alone your book being inside a school library. And 1397 01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:07,040 Speaker 1: second of all, I seriously question the judgment of anyone 1398 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:13,840 Speaker 1: who thinks that this is in any way acceptable. So 1399 01:39:13,920 --> 01:39:17,320 Speaker 1: what parents have decided to do to they when they 1400 01:39:17,400 --> 01:39:20,120 Speaker 1: challenge these books at school board meetings is just get 1401 01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:23,200 Speaker 1: up and read from the book. Just pick a passage 1402 01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:30,080 Speaker 1: about Blowy's that's there's there's no redeeming value. And then 1403 01:39:30,240 --> 01:39:32,360 Speaker 1: the reason that I'm kind of focused on this with 1404 01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:36,519 Speaker 1: Hale's Corners is when you think of Hale's Corners, you 1405 01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:41,439 Speaker 1: think of a very conservative community. And also, the full 1406 01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:49,960 Speaker 1: library board reviewed this book. I'm actually near Hale's Court. 1407 01:39:50,040 --> 01:39:54,280 Speaker 1: We work near Hall's Corners Library. What do you think 1408 01:39:54,320 --> 01:39:59,000 Speaker 1: would happen? Okay, if I just sort of showed up, 1409 01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:04,559 Speaker 1: I could even wear drag and just started reading very 1410 01:40:04,600 --> 01:40:08,160 Speaker 1: loudly what I just read in the Hills Corners Library. 1411 01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:13,639 Speaker 1: Think they'd call the cops? Or would that be hunky 1412 01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:19,680 Speaker 1: dory if we had drag Queen's Story Hour with the 1413 01:40:19,840 --> 01:40:26,200 Speaker 1: handy Blowy? This book is gay book. I like, this 1414 01:40:26,280 --> 01:40:29,240 Speaker 1: is the sort of stuff that makes me think, like, 1415 01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:34,040 Speaker 1: is is there some weird sexual perversion thing where you 1416 01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:37,680 Speaker 1: just you have to talk about sexual stuff with kids, 1417 01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:41,960 Speaker 1: you have to write sexual stuff to kids. Like That's 1418 01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:46,400 Speaker 1: what makes me think this really is all about pedophilia 1419 01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:52,479 Speaker 1: or some sort of disturbing criminal fetish. Now I'll give 1420 01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:55,240 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt. I'm thinking the little old 1421 01:40:55,320 --> 01:40:58,760 Speaker 1: lady who runs the library is just read. You know, 1422 01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:02,760 Speaker 1: she's getting all of her news from MSNBC. I defy 1423 01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:06,760 Speaker 1: you to crack open some of these books. We did 1424 01:41:06,760 --> 01:41:09,640 Speaker 1: this with what is it Some boys are Blue or 1425 01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:13,720 Speaker 1: some boys aren't blue? And it is like graphic depiction 1426 01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:18,000 Speaker 1: of rape to the point where it's like it almost 1427 01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:22,200 Speaker 1: seemed like autoerotic fiction, like the writer was writing this 1428 01:41:22,400 --> 01:41:26,679 Speaker 1: in order to, you know, be sexually aroused. Like that's 1429 01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:30,240 Speaker 1: how pornographic it was. This this has nothing to go. Oh, 1430 01:41:30,240 --> 01:41:35,280 Speaker 1: they're cinturing gay literature. Give me a break. I'm trying 1431 01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:38,720 Speaker 1: to think of what is a piece of classic literature 1432 01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:43,120 Speaker 1: that features gay character like, for example, nobody is censoring 1433 01:41:43,240 --> 01:41:48,200 Speaker 1: Broke Back Mountain Jake Jollenhall and Heath Ledger just make 1434 01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:53,080 Speaker 1: It Out in the Woods, Nobody, Nobody. I think almost 1435 01:41:53,080 --> 01:41:56,040 Speaker 1: one best picture. It probably should have because the picture 1436 01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:59,040 Speaker 1: that actually won, which was somehow more liberal than the 1437 01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:03,439 Speaker 1: gay Cowboy Crash, was actually the worst Best Picture winner 1438 01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:09,800 Speaker 1: in the history of Best Picture winners. Nobody's censoring Broke 1439 01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:12,080 Speaker 1: Back Mountain. Nobody says, oh, you can't watch. But when 1440 01:42:12,160 --> 01:42:14,320 Speaker 1: Broke Back Mountain came out, it was the butt of 1441 01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:18,360 Speaker 1: a lot of jokes. Nobody said because it wasn't pornographic, 1442 01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:24,559 Speaker 1: because the story was two guys falling in love. You 1443 01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:29,880 Speaker 1: put out Brokeback Mountain. Now, my goodness, you would have 1444 01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:34,400 Speaker 1: to have a thirty five minute naked orgy to stand 1445 01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:38,879 Speaker 1: out in all of the gay themed literature and film 1446 01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:47,000 Speaker 1: and television content that just features overt sexual smut. That's 1447 01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:50,000 Speaker 1: the only way to put this is the truly the 1448 01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:52,680 Speaker 1: only way to put all right, We will get to 1449 01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:57,559 Speaker 1: how bizarre. Let's cleanse our palettes together after that segment 1450 01:42:57,720 --> 01:43:00,880 Speaker 1: strangest stories of the past seven days. Next, The fact 1451 01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:04,000 Speaker 1: that people think that that sort of thing is appropriate 1452 01:43:04,040 --> 01:43:07,200 Speaker 1: to just sort of have out and marketed towards children 1453 01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:11,840 Speaker 1: is beyond me, all right. As strange as that is, 1454 01:43:12,200 --> 01:43:16,479 Speaker 1: it is not the strangest story that we found all week. 1455 01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:18,760 Speaker 1: It is time now to get to those. It's a 1456 01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:25,720 Speaker 1: little segment we call palabaza palabazan. What did I tell 1457 01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:30,800 Speaker 1: you about the protests known as no Kings to psychotic Boogaloo? 1458 01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:36,720 Speaker 1: These would feature only the cringiest boomer libs. One in 1459 01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:42,720 Speaker 1: fair Hope, Alabama probably takes the crowd. Three police officers 1460 01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:44,800 Speaker 1: had to take down and arrest a sixty one year 1461 01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:47,720 Speaker 1: old woman at the local protest there for wearing a 1462 01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:52,240 Speaker 1: giant penis costume. In a statement posted to Facebook Monday, 1463 01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:56,360 Speaker 1: Fair Hope Police said they responded to a complaint Saturday 1464 01:43:56,479 --> 01:44:00,800 Speaker 1: about the costume, saying that they quote observe an individual 1465 01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:04,920 Speaker 1: in a phallic costume near the Baldwin Square shopping center. 1466 01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:10,400 Speaker 1: They approached Gina Renia Gamble and told her to take 1467 01:44:10,439 --> 01:44:13,080 Speaker 1: the costume off because it was deemed obscene in a 1468 01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:15,840 Speaker 1: public setting. When she refused, she was tackled to the 1469 01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:21,320 Speaker 1: ground and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. I'm 1470 01:44:21,479 --> 01:44:31,080 Speaker 1: sure her grandkids are very proud. Howbasaba San Jose Sharks 1471 01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:34,360 Speaker 1: hockey team had to issue an apology after a pro 1472 01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:39,439 Speaker 1: Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE message appeared on their 1473 01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:46,080 Speaker 1: JumboTron at SAP Center during Hispanic Heritage Night.

Whoops. 1477 01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:04,040 Speaker 1: You know that was intentional, By the way, what's bizarre 1478 01:45:04,200 --> 01:45:06,719 Speaker 1: is nobody caught it. The Sharks issue to statement saying 1479 01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:10,400 Speaker 1: during the first intermission, an offensively worded message, which had 1480 01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:16,400 Speaker 1: been externally submitted, was inadvertently displayed on the in arena scorecard. 1481 01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:20,880 Speaker 1: Sharks Sports and Entertainment deeply regrets that this message, which 1482 01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:24,479 Speaker 1: does not meet our organization's values, was not detected during 1483 01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:29,880 Speaker 1: our standard review process. The Sharks organization sincerely apologizes for 1484 01:45:30,240 --> 01:45:33,240 Speaker 1: this oversight, and we are actively working to determine the 1485 01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:37,479 Speaker 1: origin of this message. Meanwhile, President Trump has announced plans 1486 01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:40,519 Speaker 1: to invite the San Jose Sharks to celebrate at the 1487 01:45:40,560 --> 01:45:49,040 Speaker 1: White House Abbasabazar. In one of the most bizarre scientific 1488 01:45:49,240 --> 01:45:56,479 Speaker 1: advancements that I have ever heard of, scientists have tested 1489 01:45:56,520 --> 01:46:05,040 Speaker 1: out and till ventilate a possible method of breathing through 1490 01:46:05,120 --> 01:46:12,719 Speaker 1: one's butt. Yes, but I'm surprised breathing through the butt 1491 01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:16,479 Speaker 1: was not mentioned in this book. Is gay and marketed 1492 01:46:16,520 --> 01:46:21,120 Speaker 1: towards children. It is a possible method of administering oxygen 1493 01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:25,080 Speaker 1: with a liquid delivered through the rectum that is then 1494 01:46:25,160 --> 01:46:29,479 Speaker 1: absorbed into the intestines. It's been tested in humans for 1495 01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:33,880 Speaker 1: the very first time. The trial demonstrated that this method 1496 01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:37,680 Speaker 1: of ventilation is safe and quote paves the way for 1497 01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:40,400 Speaker 1: future studies to see if this technique can help patients 1498 01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:43,960 Speaker 1: with respiratory failure. According to a study published Monday in 1499 01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:49,839 Speaker 1: the journal med one of the lead authors, an expert 1500 01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:55,320 Speaker 1: in organoid medicine, said anterial ventilation is not meant to 1501 01:46:55,360 --> 01:47:00,280 Speaker 1: replace mechanical ventilators or ECMO, but rather, survey is a 1502 01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:06,640 Speaker 1: complementary oxygenation route. The technique provides Okay, are you kidding me? 1503 01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:11,640 Speaker 1: I'm reading from the story in I think this is Reuter's. 1504 01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:18,479 Speaker 1: The technique provides a backdoor to provide partial oxygen support 1505 01:47:18,520 --> 01:47:26,360 Speaker 1: while allowing the lungst a backdoor to allowing the lungs 1506 01:47:26,520 --> 01:47:29,240 Speaker 1: to rest. It has been deemed safe for humans, but 1507 01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:33,360 Speaker 1: it hasn't experimentally shown to work on patients experiencing respiratory 1508 01:47:33,400 --> 01:47:38,160 Speaker 1: distress yet. This is primarily believed to be most effective 1509 01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:41,519 Speaker 1: in newborns who are unable to breathe on their own. 1510 01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:44,080 Speaker 1: There's an issue with the lungs, so you shoot the 1511 01:47:44,200 --> 01:47:48,200 Speaker 1: liquid up through their butts and they're able to breathe 1512 01:47:48,200 --> 01:47:52,320 Speaker 1: for a time while they're able to get onto ventilation 1513 01:47:52,640 --> 01:47:56,639 Speaker 1: or something like that. It actually has remarkable promise if 1514 01:47:56,760 --> 01:48:01,960 Speaker 1: it works, but it will give new meaning invariably to 1515 01:48:02,080 --> 01:48:07,960 Speaker 1: the phrase talking out your butt, Ladies and gentlemen. This 1516 01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:11,760 Speaker 1: has been the strangest stories we could find here on 1517 01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:19,680 Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show, in our popular weekly segment Palbaza Talbazar. 1518 01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:25,840 Speaker 1: And we will be right back. I just kind of 1519 01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:27,719 Speaker 1: want to let this beat run for a little bits 1520 01:48:27,760 --> 01:48:31,560 Speaker 1: a banger. I'm assuming it's just production music that I 1521 01:48:31,680 --> 01:48:34,640 Speaker 1: found from one of our various production libraries, but it 1522 01:48:34,720 --> 01:48:39,639 Speaker 1: is part of our Halloween Bumper music rotation. A lot 1523 01:48:39,680 --> 01:48:43,559 Speaker 1: of communities doing trick or treat tomorrow. My community always 1524 01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:48,280 Speaker 1: does it this Saturday before Halloween. There was some question 1525 01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:50,880 Speaker 1: about whether it would because Halloween this year obviously is 1526 01:48:50,920 --> 01:48:53,640 Speaker 1: on a Friday night, so a whole lot of communities 1527 01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:58,600 Speaker 1: that do tricker treating on Halloween night will beat. Obviously, 1528 01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:01,200 Speaker 1: it's going to be a huge I can tell you 1529 01:49:01,320 --> 01:49:04,200 Speaker 1: that right now. I've actually got a couple of Halloween 1530 01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:06,800 Speaker 1: parties I need to go to on Halloween Night itself. 1531 01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:11,840 Speaker 1: But in our community it's just a huge, huge, huge deal. 1532 01:49:12,479 --> 01:49:17,599 Speaker 1: Do you remember the reason that we for a long 1533 01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:20,639 Speaker 1: time for when I was growing up, trick or treating 1534 01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:24,600 Speaker 1: was always on a Sunday afternoon. Do you know the 1535 01:49:24,640 --> 01:49:32,640 Speaker 1: reason Lisa Ann Frinch, nine year old girl sexually assaulted 1536 01:49:32,760 --> 01:49:39,080 Speaker 1: and murdered while trick or treating Gerald Miles Turner Junior, 1537 01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:46,479 Speaker 1: her neighbor on Halloween night nineteen seventy three. She was 1538 01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:48,880 Speaker 1: trick or treating. She was on our way to little 1539 01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:53,040 Speaker 1: girl on our way to a Halloween party, is snatched up, 1540 01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:59,280 Speaker 1: killed and it was just mass panic over that. I 1541 01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:03,280 Speaker 1: believe he he disposed of her body nearby on a 1542 01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:06,960 Speaker 1: farm field or something like. That's just a horrific, horrific case. 1543 01:50:07,520 --> 01:50:13,519 Speaker 1: But it had massive, massive, wide ranging impacts, and the 1544 01:50:13,520 --> 01:50:18,559 Speaker 1: biggest one was invariably there was no more in many, 1545 01:50:18,600 --> 01:50:22,200 Speaker 1: many communities because of that, people said, hey, wait a second, 1546 01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:25,160 Speaker 1: we're having kids go out by themselves at night when 1547 01:50:25,360 --> 01:50:31,439 Speaker 1: it is dangerous. There was a killer out there. Was 1548 01:50:31,439 --> 01:50:33,960 Speaker 1: it an overreaction? Yeah? Probably? 1549 01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:34,920 Speaker 5: Did? 1550 01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:38,040 Speaker 1: It also kind of make sense to do trick or 1551 01:50:38,040 --> 01:50:40,920 Speaker 1: treating on a weekend. Now, I think we've sort of 1552 01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:44,360 Speaker 1: found that happy medium where kids can go out on 1553 01:50:44,400 --> 01:50:48,280 Speaker 1: their own. They go out trick or treat. Most communities 1554 01:50:48,320 --> 01:50:52,599 Speaker 1: will do it like four pm to like six seven, 1555 01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:55,160 Speaker 1: So you get some trick or treating in the dark, 1556 01:50:55,320 --> 01:50:59,560 Speaker 1: some trick or treating at night. I actually this is embarrassing. 1557 01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:04,080 Speaker 1: Is Milwaukee's trick or treat twenty twenty five? Oh they 1558 01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:07,320 Speaker 1: are doing it five point thirty to seven thirty pm 1559 01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:12,799 Speaker 1: on Halloween night. That's pretty cool. I think that's pretty cool. Muskigo, 1560 01:51:12,880 --> 01:51:16,439 Speaker 1: I know, always does Halloween Night. I believe Brookfield always 1561 01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:22,360 Speaker 1: does Halloween Night. Me Nominee Falls does Halloween Night. I 1562 01:51:22,400 --> 01:51:24,960 Speaker 1: always did you know? I always trick or treated with 1563 01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:28,599 Speaker 1: my cousin in West Allie. That was always Sunday afternoon. Yeah. 1564 01:51:28,800 --> 01:51:31,719 Speaker 1: I knew that because my dad and my uncle Steve 1565 01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:34,759 Speaker 1: would always grouse about having to take us kids around 1566 01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:37,559 Speaker 1: trick or treating instead of watching the Packer games. So 1567 01:51:37,640 --> 01:51:40,479 Speaker 1: they would actually go up to the door with us 1568 01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:43,800 Speaker 1: and they'd like peek their heads in to see the 1569 01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:47,479 Speaker 1: Packer game on the living room. Uh in the houses 1570 01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:50,439 Speaker 1: we went to. So I hope everyone has a fun 1571 01:51:50,600 --> 01:51:55,680 Speaker 1: and safe pre Halloween weekend trick or treating and Halloween 1572 01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:59,920 Speaker 1: parties and Friday night playoff football games and all of that, 1573 01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:03,599 Speaker 1: and it figures to be an absolutely gorgeous weekend. I 1574 01:52:03,640 --> 01:52:06,519 Speaker 1: hope all of you have a wonderful time, and we 1575 01:52:06,720 --> 01:52:12,280 Speaker 1: will hang out again. Don't worry, we are back Monday afternoon, 1576 01:52:12,479 --> 01:52:15,760 Speaker 1: three six pm. We will do it all again with 1577 01:52:15,840 --> 01:52:19,280 Speaker 1: more conservative thought and not just talk right here on 1578 01:52:19,360 --> 01:52:20,519 Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell's show.
