1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Friday edition of the Dan O'Donell Show,

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: and a Merry Christmas to one and all our hearts

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: are somewhat heavy in Southeast Wisconsin, especially those of us

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: who are from the South suburbs, as a Muskego institution

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: burns to the ground early this morning. We will get

6
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: into that. How can you help the family who owns

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: the Bass Bay brew House find out in just one second?

8
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: Plus a grave injustice in the Wisconsin court system. It

9
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: should come as no surprise that Wisconsin's Attorney General, Josh

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: call is not actually interested in the application of any

11
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: real justice, but the witch hunt of Jim Troopis, which

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: came to a head today with a letter written by

13
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Senator Ron Johnson demanding that Attorney General Pam Bondi investigate

14
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: alleged serious misconduct by the Dane County Circuit Court judge

15
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: in this case. We will get into all of that,

16
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: plus the daily Trump date. We'll talk with our friend

17
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: Will Martin, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, coming up in the

18
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: five o'clock our. Of course, it's Friday. How bizarre strangest

19
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: stories of the past seven days. We name the unhinged

20
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: Liberal of the day, who could possibly think that jingle

21
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: Bells is racist? Look, I at least get the baby

22
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: It's Cold Outside is a song about date rape controversy

23
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: of about seven or eight years ago. It was ridiculous.

24
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: Clearly the song is not about date rape, as I

25
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: did a thorough debunking of that when the controversy first

26
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: reared its head during the Me Too movement of twenty

27
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: seventeen twenty eighteen. At least I could sort of see that,

28
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: say what's in this drink? The lyric and baby It's

29
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: Cold outside? Okay, you can make maybe make the case

30
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: that the guy was rufieing the girl, aside from the

31
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: fact that the song was written in nineteen forty seven

32
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: and rufe's didn't really exist until Bill Cosby invented them.

33
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: I made that last part up. That's a joke. Jingle

34
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: Bells is racist. It's a real thing. We will explore

35
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: it in the Unhinged Liberal of the Day Unsung Hero

36

00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: Email medod at iHeartMedia dot com. Very important announcement. I

42
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: have been saying for a long time that today was

43
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: going to be the deadline to submit entries for our

44
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Dan O'Donnell show Family Christmas Special. We

45
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: have extended that to Sunday. We figure we'll give you

46
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: one more weekend to record your kids singing Christmas carols,

47
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: performing a Christmas song on a musical instrument. We think

48
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: that we are going to be able to handle a

49
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: few more entries, and I timed them out. We are

50
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: going to have enough time so we can get more

51
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: entries in. I can only again guarantee the first fifty

52
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: are going to be in, but we do have room,

53
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: so we have extended the deadline. So if you're a

54
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: natural procrastinator, something like me, just no, just no. This

55
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: weekend is it. We cannot take any more entries past Sunday,

56
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: December fourteenth, because I pretty much do need an entire

57
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: week to put all this together. To put this show together, Yes,

58
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: it is an incredible labor, but it is a labor

59
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: of love. I thoroughly enjoy doing this each and every year.

60
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,880

68
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: morning to some devastating news The bass Bay brew House

69
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: in Muskigo. This is right on Bass Bay, hence the

70
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: name on Big Miskigo Lake or is it Little Mischigo

71
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: Lake one of the Miskeigo Lakes. I feel like I

72
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: should know this since I grew up somewhat nearby. You

73
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: want to know how old school I am? Bassbae brew

74
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: House is on Audmar Drive. It's right by, as every

75
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,679
Speaker 1: kid who grew up in the nineteen eighties and nineteen

76
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: nineties will know. Producer Eric, do you know what? The

77
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: Bass Bay brew House is? Right by the lake? Bush? Now,

78
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: it's not really nearby that kind of Bush's is on

79
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: Janesville and Bush's is actually no longer there. Unfortunately, Bushy

80
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: passed away a few years back. I went to grade

81
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: school with the Bushberger family. Wonderful, wonderful family. Nope, not

82
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: the old amusement park site. Hauntchyville. Yeah, see, Eric's an

83
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: old school southeastern Wisconsin guy. Hauntchyville, Hauntchyeville. Even before I

84
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: knew what the audmar back then was. Actually I think

85
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: I did know what the oudmar was. I knew of Hauntcheyville,

86
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: and every teenager took a drive out to what is

87
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: now luxury homes. But there was a rumor that it

88
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: was some sort of farm full of little people. And

89
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: the version of the story I heard was that the

90
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: little people were jealous of people who were of normal height,

91
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: and if you trespassed on their little person farm, they

92
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: would cut off the bottom of your legs, so you

93
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: would have to live the rest of your life as

94
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: a little person. Or maybe they just murdered you. I

95
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: don't know, but somehow they escaped the Muskego Police Department's

96
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: radar for many, many years and Hauncheville, the legend of

97
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: Hauncheville was born. Yes, it was just as stupid as

98
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: it sounds. Ladies and gentlemen. Just down the road from

99
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: Hauntcheville is the bassbe brew House. It was formerly the Oudmar,

100
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: and the Ashman family has owned it pretty much off

101
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: and on since the nineteen fifties. According to the Milwaukee

102
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: Journal Sentinel, Ryan Ashman, the current owner of Bass Bay,

103
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 1: His grandparents operated a supper club on the property until

104
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five before passing down to Ryan's parents. His

105
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: parents operated the Oddmar until two thousand and six before

106
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: it closed. It had an uncertain future. Then in twenty fourteen,

107
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: Ryan and his mother Laurie, as well as some other partners,

108
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: decided to re enter the family business. Bassbe brew House

109
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: opened in its current iteration the following year, twenty fifteen.

110
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: Now I think everybody knows someone who was married at

111
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,119
Speaker 1: Bass Bay Brewhouse. I believe I've been to at least

112
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: one wedding, possibly two weddings if memory serves, either at

113
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: the Oddmar or at Bass Bay brew House. And frankly

114
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: I went there all the time. When I hosted shows

115
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: in the morning, I would actually take my uncle Steve

116
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: to a post show lunch at the bass Beet was

117
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: our favorite spot on Friday afternoons because you'd sit out

118
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: and you'd look at the lake. And early this morning

119
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: the fire spread so quickly and so violent that it

120
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: was apparent by about six thirty seven am the building

121
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: was just going to be a total loss. The Muskigo

122
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: Police Department has now confirmed that Bassbe brew House is

123
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: just a total loss. The structure is just gone. It

124
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: took them until about one thirty pm with about a

125
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: dozen fire departments helping out with putting out this fire,

126
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: in order to finally get the flames under control, but

127
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 1: the building was just completely consumed and you could actually

128
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: see the plume of smoke from miles and miles and

129
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: miles away. Now people have been wondering how exactly you

130
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: can help out the family, and you can help out

131
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: all of the people who worked there who suddenly, just

132
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: less than two weeks before Christmas have lost their source

133
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: of income. Well, Ryan Ashman and his business partner Ashman

134
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: or Oshman. I apologize if I am butchering that last name.

135
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: His business partner, Andy Meinen also own Milk Can, Hamburgers

136
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: and Frozen Custard on Jamesville Road and Mesquita. I can

137
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: tell you there. I've gone there a number of times.

138
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: That's sort of the go to place after school dances

139
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: or concerts or things like that, where we, you know,

140
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: take my daughter or whatever. Facebook posts from people in

141
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: Muskego are encouraging everyone to go to Milk Can, Hamburgers

142
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: and Frozen Custard in order to support the family, who

143
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: can then potentially support their workers, and a number of

144
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: workers have been talking to local media the Milwaukee Journal

145
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: Sentinel Today's TMJ four Fox six just about how close

146
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: the staff was. I can tell you as someone who

147
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: went to Bass Bay brew House regularly for family dinners.

148
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: Do you do want to know how often we went

149
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: to Bass Bay brew House? When I woke up, I

150
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: woke my wife and kids up. Oh my god. Now

151
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm sort of notorious in my family because obviously I'm

152
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: constantly connected to the news. I am constantly on my

153
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: phone just getting news and information, and I'm notorious for saying,

154
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: oh my god, or guys, oh my And then I'll

155
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: be so engrossed in the story that everyone will think, like,

156
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 1: you know, Aunt Gladys died or something like that, and

157
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: it'll actually be you know, oh my gosh, Tony Evers,

158
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: is it running for reelection or something like that, Like God, Dad,

159
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: come on well this one. It was oh my god,

160
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: Bass Bay brew House is burning to the ground and

161
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: the family was just stunned. My wife said, you won't

162
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: believe this. I was actually thinking after your show tonight

163
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: we should go to the bass Bae brew House because

164
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: they always decorate it so wonderfully for Christmas time. And

165
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: fortunately it is now reduced to ashes. Now, there is

166
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: always speculation. I am just going to tell you, folks,

167
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: I have never seen a massive fire in a very

168
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: popular place like this, or a very high profile fire

169
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: in which someone didn't immediately suspect that there was arson

170
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: or I think some people have watched way too many

171
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: mob movies or episodes of the Sopranos. They think the

172
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: fire was intentionally started to cash in on insurance. There's

173
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: there's no evidence, at least right now now. The state

174
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: Fire Marshal has been called in to investigate, but that's typical.

175
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: Miss Gigo Police Department put out in a press release

176
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 1: a couple of hours ago that this is standard operating procedure.

177
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: This does not mean that they believe that this fire

178
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: was intentionally set. In what I can tell you from

179
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: just talking, A number of my friends are a firefighter.

180
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: They say, it is remarkably easy for a restaurant to

181
00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: go up in flames. Unfortunately, obviously, the kitchen fires happen

182
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: all the time. Sometimes they get out of control. And

183
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: the Bassbe brew House had a tremendous amount of natural

184
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: wood in it, which means a whole lot of fuel

185
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: for that fire. So you could have potentially an electrical fire,

186
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: you have a grease fire, you have some sort of

187
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: natural gas explosion. I'm not saying that you can immediately

188
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: rule out an arson, like I'm not going to blame

189
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 1: the little people over at Haunchyville for setting the Bass

190
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: Bay brew House ablaze, But I'm saying that immediately on

191
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: social media people will begin to speculate that this is

192
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: an arson, and I would just be very hesitant to

193
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: call it that just because restaurants bars. I mean, there

194
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: was another place that I really enjoy that is just

195
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: a wonderful, wonderful place called the Hale House. It's in

196
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: my neck of the woods where I grew up. I

197
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: grew up in the Greenfield. Hales Corners areas right down

198
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: Forest Home from Saint Mary's Hales Corners. Obviously, my alma

199
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: matern that just had a really bad fire. I'm not

200
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 1: sure did they reopen. Producer Eric Dave Michaels would know.

201
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: He goes to. He goes to all of those places.

202
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: The Varsity Club, which is just down the street from

203
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: the radio station here on Beloit in one hundred and

204
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: twenty four. That's actually owned by my old gym teacher

205
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: from Whitnell High School, mister Teipner. I'm not sure if

206
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: he's still yeah, actually he does still own it. But

207
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: Dave Michael's apparently there all the time. I get random

208
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: texts on Friday nights. Hey, you want to meet me

209
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: out at Varsity Club. I'm like, dude, it's five point fifteen,

210
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm right in the middle of the third hour of

211
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: my show. You'll go, all right, you knock off early.

212
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: Join Michaels over at the Varsity Club. But Halehouse also

213
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: suffered extensive damage because of a kitchen fire. I mean,

214
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: these things, unfortunately, do happen, and when you see a

215
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: fire just consume a building that quickly. People tend to

216
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say they get conspiratorial, but what

217
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: they do is they have a tendency to immediately suspect

218
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: foul play. Where I can tell you there absolutely, one

219
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent is foul play is in the prosecution of

220
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: a respected member of Wisconsin's legal community over the so

221
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: called fake electors scheme. We will get into that. A

222
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: grave injustice being committed right now. Dan O'Donnell show coming

223
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: back in three minutes. I just feel so bad for

224
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: the Oshman Oshman family and everyone who is suddenly out

225
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: of a job for at least the foreseeable future after

226
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: the Bass Bay brew House spurned to the ground. It

227
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: just especially this close to Christmas time, Christmas less than

228
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: two weeks away now, folks, if I hear of any

229
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: way to support the family, to support those displaced workers,

230
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: I will of course pass that along. People have been

231
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: asking me all day if there's a GoFundMe or anything

232
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: like that. In the meantime, I will encourage you to

233
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: stop by the milk can, Hamburger and Custard stand on

234
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: Jamesville Road. I am told the family is just absolutely

235
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: devastated by what happened. I mean they owned the bassbe

236
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: brew House, the Audmar before it, the supper club on

237
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: that site since the nineteen fifties. I mean we are

238
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: on the third generation of owners of it, and to

239
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: see it just destroyed like that in a matter of hours,

240
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: after decades and decades and decades of serving them. Skigo

241
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: community is just a testament to you know, people say, well, Dan,

242
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: who cares that much about a restaurant? No, you know,

243
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: first of all, screw you. Second of all, these aren't

244
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: These are pillars of the community, especially in smaller communities

245
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: like Muskigo, New Berlin right around there, Greendale. I mean,

246
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: these are big, big parts of the community. And these

247
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: are neighbors, these are these are families, these are friends.

248
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: And anyway, if if, if anyway I can be of assistance,

249
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean I'm I'm pretty easy to find if there's

250
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: a GoFundMe if if there's anything right now, I will say,

251
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: if you are looking for something to do tonight, you're

252
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: looking for for dinner options. Heck, if you're going home

253
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: from school with your kids right now, why not. They're

254
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: they're whining that they're hungry before basketball practice or a

255
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: volleyball game or whatever it is that you've got going

256
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: on tonight. Why not take them to the milkcan Welcome

257
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: back to the Dan O'Donnell Show. It is classical conservatism

258
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: and contemporary style. The gravest injustice in the criminal justice

259
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 1: system right now is very likely. The prosecution of the

260
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: so called fake electors. Jim troopis chief among them, one

261
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: of the attorneys who was representing President Trump here in

262
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: Wisconsin as the Trump campaign was protesting the twenty twenty

263
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: election loss. This has been going on since literally December

264
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: fourteenth of twenty twenty. And would you believe that for

265
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: four years, despite the protestations of insane leftists that the

266
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: fake elector scandal was criminal in nature, Josh Cole's Department

267
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: of Justice was saying it is totally fine. In twenty

268
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: twenty four, however, suddenly calls Justice Department changed course, very

269
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: likely under significant political pressure to quote unquote do something

270
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: about the so called mastermind of the fake elector scheme.

271
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: So he charged troopis as well as Kenneth Chesbrow, another

272
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: co defendant and another attorney for President Trump, for putting

273
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: forward an alternate slate of electors. Now I know when

274
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: I talk about this stuff, people's eyes tend to glaze over. Basically,

275
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: what happens is in a presidential election, because we have

276
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: something called the electoral College, you don't technically vote directly for,

277
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: say Donald Trump. You vote for the electors that Donald

278
00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 1: Trump's campaign will send to the Electoral College, and usually

279
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: on December fourteenth or at some point thereabouts, those electors

280
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: will meet, cast their electoral votes, and then the election

281
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: is officially completed on January sixth. This was the reason

282
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: for the January sixth riot at the Capitol in twenty

283
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: twenty one, the Congress will officially count those votes. Now,

284
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: it's mistakenly been believed for almost five years now that

285
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: Congress will then officially certify the votes, and that Congress somehow,

286
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: or even worse, Vice President Mike Pence somehow had the

287
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: ability to say, no, we're not certifying this. The election

288
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: is actually going to be either rerun or we are

289
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: going to just hand the presidency over to Donald Trump.

290
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: There were a number of Trump supporters who unfortunately believed this.

291
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: It wasn't true. Essentially, count the electoral votes is nothing

292
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: more than a formality. The election is made official once

293
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: the electors meet and the Electoral College votes are cast. Now,

294
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: what happens if, like in twenty twenty, there is some

295
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: sort of challenge, If there's a court challenge to the

296
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: electoral count, what happens? What would be the mechanism if

297
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: the electoral college is going to meet, and remember, once

298
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: the electors have voted, there's really not a whole lot

299
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: you can do because the electoral college results are done,

300
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: the election is over, we've got a new president. What

301
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: you can do, and case law throughout the decades has

302
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: held this up is put forth an alternate slate of electors.

303
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: For example, Joe Biden one, we assume Wisconsin in twenty

304
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: twenty by about twenty one thousand votes. His electors went

305
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: to Madison on December fourteenth to cast their ballots. Also

306
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 1: at the Capitol was an alternate slate of electors that

307
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: were picked by the Trump campaign, who if the Wisconsin

308
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: Supreme Court were to rule for some reason that Trump

309
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: actually won Wisconsin, they would then cast electoral votes and

310
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: those votes would go to the Congress. There is actually

311
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: a whole lot of history behind this. In fact, the

312
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: most notable example of this goes all the way back

313
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: to the nineteen sixty presidential election. In the very first

314
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: election in which Hawaii, a newly admitted state, was taking part,

315
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: Richard Nixon very narrowly won the state. The Kennedy team,

316
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: John F. Kennedy asked for a recount. Now, Hawaii didn't matter.

317
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: It did not have very many electoral votes. Kennedy had

318
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: already won thanks to his father cheating in Illinois and Texas. No,

319
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm there are still questions in my mind about the

320
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty presidential election. You say there's no such thing

321
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: as voter frau. Look at what was going on in

322
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 1: Chicago in nineteen sixty. Nonetheless, Hawaii didn't really matter, but

323
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: the Kennedy campaign still said, hey, we think we actually

324
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 1: won Hawaii. What they did, as Richard Nixon's electors were

325
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: meeting in Hawaii, Kennedy had an alternate slate of electors

326
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: also cast their ballots. Both sets of ballots were sent

327
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: to Congress to be formally accepted. Sure enough, a recount

328
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: sometime late in December. I believe the dueling sets of

329
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: electors met on December nineteenth, sometime shortly after Christmas. The

330
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: recount came back and lo and behold, Kennedy won by

331
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: a tiny handful of votes. It was like something like

332
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety votes, and the alternate electors were

333
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: actually counted. Their votes were counted for Kennedy and in

334
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: the official nineteen sixty electoral total. John F. Kennedy, you

335
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: will see one Hawaii. Forty years later, in the infamous

336
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: Bush v. Gore decision, in her dissent, the notorious RBG

337
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg effectively held that since al

338
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: Gore didn't have an alternate slate of electors and there

339
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: was no real remediation for him, he couldn't just have

340
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: recounts go on and on and on and on. So

341
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: Ginsburg said, I would have sided with the four to

342
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: three majority if I didn't think that this was going

343
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: to be such a broadly applied case, which of course

344
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: it absolutely has been in the last twenty five years.

345
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: She said, you need to have alternate slates of electors.

346
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: Not only that, in what is quite possibly the most

347
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,719
Speaker 1: damning thing I have ever seen thrown back at a

348
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: prosecuting agency. Do you know who also said, yeah, you

349
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: should probably have an alternate slate of electors as a

350
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: precaution in case you actually won an election that would

351
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: get overturned. Josh Call, that's right. In documents that were

352
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: unsealed in the Troopist prosecution in September, Call wrote a

353
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: DOJ memo, or at least Calls do wrote a memo

354
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: regarding a civil lawsuit filed against Troopists as well as

355
00:24:54,520 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: the alternate electors that was engineered by Law Forward. Law

356
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: Forward is a left wing legal advocacy and activist group

357
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: that files frivolous lawsuits against conservatives. So they made complaints

358
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: to the Wisconsin Election Commission alleging that the alternate electors

359
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: violated the law. In turn, the Wisconsin Election Commission said, Hey,

360
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: we're not entirely sure. We need guidance from Cahle's Department

361
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: of Justice. Wouldn't you know it, The DOJ said, alternate

362
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: electors are perfectly fine. The DOJ memo noted Troopists openly

363
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: and publicly forecasted that the alternate electors would meet by

364
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: stating in his brief, Hey, we're going to meet presidential

365
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: elections which are not resolved by the time the presidential

366
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: electors must cast their votes pursuant of blah blah blah

367
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, we need to have an alternate

368
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: slate of electors. When those alternate electors met on December fourteenth,

369
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,719
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the Wisconsin Supreme Court had not yet reached

370
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: its decision. It actually reached its decision later on that

371
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: afternoons the afternoon of December fourteenth, twenty twenty, and using

372
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: the doctrine of latches, which basically means the Trump campaign

373
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: didn't bring its complaint quickly enough and there was no

374
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: adequate remedy, which was absolutely asinine. Brian Hagadorn joining the

375
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: liberals there, thank you very much, alleged conservative Brian hagador

376
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: And there actually was ample evidence that Wisconsin's twenty twenty

377
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 1: presidential election was not held in accordance with state law. Nonetheless,

378
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: because there was still an ongoing dispute, call Zone, DOJ

379
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: was saying, yeah, they were totally authorized to have alternate electors.

380
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: Here is about the most damning self own I think.

381
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: I remember this is calls DOJ writing in September of

382
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, two years before it prosecutes troopists for

383
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: alternate electors. DOJ found that nothing quote prohibits or otherwise

384
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: limits a party from meeting to cast electoral votes during

385
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: a challenge to an election tabulation. The statutes say nothing

386
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: about an alternative set of electors casting votes, and do

387
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: not expressly prohibit a slate of electors from casting votes

388
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: to preserve their votes in case pending legal challenges prove successful.

389
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: Even assuming the complainants were right that respondents had no

390
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: duty to meet, it does not necessarily follow that meeting

391
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: violated the law. The complainant's argument that the respondents were

392
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: not electors presumes the outcome of the state procedures, and

393
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: as noted above, Wisconsin law does not prohar bit an

394
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: alternative set of electors from meeting. Emphasis of course mine

395
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: Josh Calls DJ said in September of twenty twenty two. Quote,

396
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: Wisconsin law does not prohibit an alternative set of electors

397
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: from meeting. Yet Josh Call prosecutes Jim Troopis and Kenneth

398
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 1: Chesbrow and other defendants for putting together an alternate slate

399
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: of electors. This isn't a crime. It was never a crime.

400
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: Calls DOJ was even saying as recently a September of

401
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two that this was not a crime. How

402
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: does how is this prosecution not been thrown out? They

403
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: just added more charges of forgery of forgery. They're pretending

404
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: the DOJ is that Jim Troopis tricked these electors into believe.

405
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: Do you know I've talked to a number of the

406
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: quote unquote fake electors. They knew exactly what they were doing.

407
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: Do you know I knew that the fake electors were

408
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: meeting in the morning hours of December fourteenth, twenty twenty.

409
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: Do you know how I knew that? Because I got

410
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: a press release from the State Republican Party. I'll bet

411
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: if I go back through my email, I've still got

412
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: that press release somewhere. They didn't try to hide anything.

413
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: They said, this is an alternate slate of electors just

414
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: in case we win in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Now,

415
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: why is it? Why is it that this case has

416
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: not been tossed? If a random radio host in Milwaukee

417
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: can can look at a DOJ memo from twenty twenty

418
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: two and after, hey, DOJ, you're you're prosecuting this guy,

419
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: but you said two years before you start the prosecution,

420
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: there's nothing illegal about what he did. Having a difficult

421
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: time seeing why this case should still be in court.

422
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: If I can see it, why can't a judge see it?

423
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: And that is what we're going to get to next,

424
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: because there are some very serious allegations against the judge

425
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: trying this case that now appear to have gotten the

426
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: attention of the Department of Justice. We are going to

427
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: get into that major development coming up next here on

428
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald's show. Yes, I have seen ladies and

429
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: gentlemen that there is apparently a go fundme on behalf

430
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: of the family and the workers at Basspe Brew House

431
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: that's raised a good amount of money. Until I see

432
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: from either the family or I have no reason to

433
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: doubt the person that set this up is legit and

434
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 1: that the money will go to the people it's desired

435
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: to go to. I just I actually, weirdly enough, you

436
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: want to talk about strange coincidences. Years ago, I was

437
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: publicizing a GoFundMe, and I'm not going to tell you

438
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: the context of the story because I don't want to.

439
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: In any event, I don't want to just you know,

440
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: name people or it was a very high profile story.

441
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 1: This is a long time ago you probably would not remember.

442
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: And uh, like I said, I went to the Bass

443
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: Bay Brew House quite a bit. I was there with

444
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: my uncle and we were just kind of hanging out

445
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: and having lunch. And on that morning show, I had

446
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: given out a go Fundme address er, I had posted

447
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: a go fund Me, and there was a big rift

448
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: between the family and the significant other of the person

449
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: that this gofund me was benefiting funeral expenses and that

450
00:31:55,040 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: sort of stuff, and everybody. It became a huge thing

451
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: that the people have please take down the post. This

452
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: is not an official GoFundMe. You have to direct donations

453
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: to the Oh God. So I said, look, I want

454
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: to help as much as I can, but until I

455
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: know that this is an official gofundmere, there's an official

456
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: fund set up, I'm not going to publicize anything. And weirdly,

457
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: when all this stuff went down, When all of this

458
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: went down, where was I bass Babe brew House. What

459
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: a weird coincidence. I just literally thought of that. Now

460
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: as we were coming back from breaking, people were sending

461
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: me links to a GoFundMe. So until I see like

462
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: the family's blessing or a city of Muskigo, if the

463
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: mayor out there or somebody on the city council. Yes, yes,

464
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: this is absolutely for the workers, for the staff, for

465
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: the family. Yes, absolutely to help the the Best Bay

466
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,239
Speaker 1: brew House rebuild. I'm not going to give it out.

467
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure you can find it if you want to

468
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: give it out. Again. Again, I'm not impugning the gentleman

469
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: who started the GoFundMe. I just I've been burned by

470
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: this before, and I have enough people mad at me

471
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: on a daily basis. All right, Jim Troopis is the

472
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: victim of easily the worst political persecution, not even a prosecution,

473
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: a persecution. He and his co defendants are facing an

474
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: obvious witch hunt by a DOJ who admitted in a

475
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: memo that the defendants did nothing wrong, that there is

476
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: no underlying crime that they committed by putting together a

477
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: slate of so called fake electors to cast alternate electoral

478
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: ballots in twenty twenty. Those are alternate electors. They're perfectly lawful.

479
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: They are perfectly legal. Josh call Z own DOJ said, so, so,

480
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: why is the judge in this case, John Hyland not

481
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: dismissing the charges well. In a letter written by Senator

482
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Johnson alleges, citing

483
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: evidence from Troopis's attorneys, that in fact, the judge John

484
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: Hyland is so biased against Troops that he outsourced the

485
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 1: writing of a decision on emotion to quash or emotion

486
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: to dismiss emotion in this case, he outsourced it to

487
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 1: a fellow Circuit Court judge Frank Remington, another left winger

488
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: like Highland. And I've actually had some dealings with Highland

489
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: myself based on an article I wrote for the MacIvor

490
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: Institute years and years and years ago. He took such

491
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: exception to it that he penned a big rebuttal and

492
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: demanded that MacIvor print it. We did, and I wrote

493
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: a rebuttal to his rebuttal proving that the entire Dane

494
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: County Circuit Court is a bunch of soft on crime,

495
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: dangerous lunatics that puts communities in danger in any event.

496
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: So I know what Hyland is all about. Johnson is

497
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: alleging that, in a huge breach of judicial ethics and

498
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: the law, Frankly Hyland had Frank Remington write an opinion

499
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: for him. Now I'm not going to speculate on whether

500
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: he did or he didn't, but Troopis's attorneys apparently used

501
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: handwriting or language and syntax, I should say, experts to

502
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: say without a doubt this was written. So they basically

503
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: gave these experts a whole bunch of writing by John Hyland,

504
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: whole bunch of writing by Frank Remington, is that this

505
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: opinion is not written by John Hyland. It's written by

506
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: Frank Remington. I have no idea, and Johnson is saying

507
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: to PAMBONDI, Hey, you should probably take a look at this.

508
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: This is Johnson's way of letting the do o j

509
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 1: know about this insane miscarriage of justice. The only fair,

510
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: just human thing to do in this price to drop

511
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 1: all charges. None of this was ever a crime. It's

512
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: a farce and frankly, it's ruining people's lives simply because

513
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: Josh Hall wants to score political points with the radical left.

514
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: We name the unhinged liberal of the day someone who

515
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: actually believes jingle Bells is racist. Yeah, seriously, that's coming

516
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: up in just five minutes, America. Today's unhinged Liberal of

517
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: the day is Joy Reid, whose show is canceled by MSNBC,

518
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: but you can't cancel her crazy from our Hearts. She

519
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: shared a video on her social media claiming that the

520
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: song jingle Bells is actually racist. No, I'm not kidding.

521
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: According to this video, the first caption this is where

522
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: a racist Confederate soldier wrote jingle Bells to make fun

523
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: of black people. The video says James Lord Pierpont, who

524
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: wrote the song with Strapped for Cash and wrote the

525
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: original version for performances where white actors in blackface make

526
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: fun of black people that I don't think I need

527
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: to tell you is not at all true. We'll get

528
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: into this in greater depth than how bizarre coming up

529
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: in the five o'clock hour. For now, those suffice it

530
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: to say, joy Read is once again your unhinged liberal

531
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: of the day. Welcome back to the Dan o'donald show,

532
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: and Merry Christmas to one. In all hard to believe,

533
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: but there are just two weekends until the big day,

534
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: December twenty fifth, now less than two weeks away. I'm

535
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: sure those of you with young children didn't need the reminder.

536
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: They've certain been doing their Advent calendars? Are the Lego

537
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: Advent calendars still big? We used to get every year

538
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: the Lego Advent calendars for our kids. They've sort of

539
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: outgrown them. Our daughter's eleven and she still likes the

540
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: Advent calendar stuff. Boys are teenagers. You can barely get

541
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: them to wash themselves at this point, let alone fill

542
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: out Advent calendars or open up Advent calendars and do

543
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: little legos before school each morning. Anyway, Welcome back, to

544

00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: Strangest Stories of the Past seven Days? Yes, Joy Reid

548
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: really did share a video of some idiot claiming that

549
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: James Lord Pierpont wrote the poem one Horse Open Sleigh,

550
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: which we now know as jingle Bells to be performed

551
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: in minstrel shows. It was performed in minstrel shows, but

552
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: it was not written for that. It was actually written

553
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 1: for Thanksgiving, had nothing to do Whatso there is nothing

554
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: whatsoever in the song that has to do with racism.

555
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: But Joy Reid and her merry band of idiots believe

556
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: that jingle Bells is now racist. We'll get into that. Also,

557
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:31,399

569
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: win for the administration.

570

Speaker 3: It's also a big win for the United States.

571

Speaker 1: We have to keep winning. We have to win.

572
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 3: Moore.

573
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna win. Moore, never cancel this theme song to

574
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: the Daily Trump Day, your look at what was going

575
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: on at the Trump White House and beyond. The President

576
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: announced that the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia today agreed

577
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: to a cease fire in their border conflict, effective immediately

578
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 1: following his phone calls with Prime Minister and new twin

579
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna try this one, Chun brick Coo

580
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: not fighting with Cambodia anymore and Prime Minister Khun Manette.

581
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: The deal revives a US broker accord from earlier this year,

582
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 1: with the leader of Malaysia also providing assistance. The National

583
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: Trust for Historic Preservation has sued the President to block

584
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: construction of the ninety thousand square foot ballroom in the

585
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: demolished East Wing, claiming it violates federal historic preservation laws

586
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: and requires congressional approval. President Trump dismissed the need for permit,

587
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: asserting correctly presidential authority. The Trump administration has also initiated

588
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: plans to replenish the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, depleted by over

589
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: two hundred million barrels under President Biden for political reasons.

590
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: In the summer of twenty twenty two. Those reasons, well,

591
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: gas prices has had hit five dollars a gallon right

592
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: before an important mid term election. Surging US oil production

593
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: under President Trump is driving gas prices lower and supports

594
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: that refilm. Meanwhile, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that the

595
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: state of New York is giving cs commercial driver's licenses

596
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: to illegals at a truly stunning race. So we've done

597
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: this nationwide audit.

598
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 4: We found the worst defender, which is the State of

599
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 4: New York. Fifty three percent of New York's non domiciled

600
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 4: CDLs were issued unlawfully or illegally.

601
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: Fifty three percent more than half. And that's not just

602
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: CDLs for illegals. Non domiciled licenses. We have those in

603
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: Wisconsin or temporary licenses non domiciled are for those who

604
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: have temporary licenses to operate within the state of New York.

605
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: Fifty three percent more than fifty percent were issued unlawfully

606
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: or illegally. How exactly is New York doing this stuff,

607
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 1: he explained.

608
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 4: If an applicant comes in and they have a work

609
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 4: authorization for thirty days, sixty days, one year, New York

610
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 4: automatically issues them an eight year commercial driver's license. That's

611
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 4: contrary to the law. That's one offense. But we also

612
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:17,720
Speaker 4: found that New York many times won't even verify whether

613
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 4: they have a work authorization, they have a visa, or

614
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 4: they're in the country legally. So they're just giving eight

615
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 4: year commercial driver's licenses to people who are coming through

616
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 4: their DMV and sending them out on American roadways. And again,

617
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 4: they're endangering the lives of American families.

618
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: They certainly are a number of cases in well. I

619
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: would say they made the news, a number of recent

620
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: cases in the news, but they really didn't outside of

621
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: conservative outlights highlight just how badly illegal immigrant truck drivers,

622
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: many of whom cannot read English and thus cannot read

623
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: traffic signs, are causing terrible accidents that are killing Americans.

624
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: That ladies and gentlemen, you're Daily Trump Date four today,

625
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: December twelfth, twenty twenty five. We spent much of the

626
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: three o'clock hour talking about and thoroughly debunking the alternate

627
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: electors slash fake Elector's case, the prosecution of Jim Troopis

628
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: and other Trump attorneys who were trying to get a

629
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: slate of alternate electors seated and casting electoral votes in

630
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty just in case their challenge to Wisconsin's count

631
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: of the vote proved to be successful in the Wisconsin

632
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Ultimately it was not. The Democrat slate of

633
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: electors cast their ballots and those ballots elected Joe Biden

634
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: as President of the US. Would you believe that? On

635
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: the same day, Senator Ron Johnson, who is allegedly part

636
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 1: of this this fake elector scheme, wrote a letter to

637
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, saying, Hey, Madam Attorney General,

638
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: you really need to look at what's going on with

639
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: this fake elector's case in Wisconsin, because it certainly seems

640
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: that there is a whole lot of unethical, if not

641
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: outright unlawful behavior going on on that exact same day,

642
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: Democrats have again introduced a bill to make Wisconsin part

643
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: of the interstate National Popular Vote Compact. What this is

644
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,000
Speaker 1: a group of left wing states that would pledge to

645
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: as soon as they hit two hundred and seventy electoral

646
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: votes there right now and I believe two hundred and nine,

647
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: as soon as they hit to seventy, they would award

648
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: their state's electoral votes to whichever candidate won the national

649
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: popular vote, regardless of whether that candidate actually won the state.

650
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: So the same Democrats, and Kelda Royce, who is a

651
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 1: candidate for governor, is one of the co sponsors of this,

652
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: as is Senator Bob Wirsch and Representatives Clinton Anderson and

653
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: Lee Snodgrass. Yes, for those new to the show, that

654
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: is actually her real name. The Snodgrass does in fact

655
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: taste like Snodgrass. If you don't get that reference, please

656
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: do yourself a favor of this Christmas season and watch

657
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 1: the original Willie Welcome. The exact same Democrats who are

658
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: saying we should prosecute Republicans who present an alternate slate

659
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: of electors are now effectively saying we should accept an

660
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: alternate slate of electors based on who wins the election nationally,

661
00:46:55,520 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: even if our state votes differently, if Democrats didn't have

662
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: double standards, they would have no standards whatsoever. According to

663
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: these Dems, Americans and Wisconsin Nights want elected officials who

664
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: represent the will of the majority of voters. However, because

665
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: of the current United States presidential election system, that is

666
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 1: not always the case. By adopting the national popular vote,

667
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: Wisconsin affirms the principle that the candidate who receives the

668
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 1: most votes should become president. This would ensure that every

669
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: voter in every state matters, not just those in a

670
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: handful of battleground states. I can't even believe that people

671
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: are this stupid. Honestly, if Representative Snosberry or Kelda Helen

672
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 1: Royce or anybody, I am offering you a full hour

673
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: on the Dan O'Donnell show to come on and have

674
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,840
Speaker 1: me pepper you with questions about the constitutionality of this,

675
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 1: I truly cannot believe that anyone actually does think that

676
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: votes in California and New York don't matter, votes in

677
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: Texas don't matter, that the only votes that matter are

678
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. Really, Okay, well, let's prove that how about

679
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: every Democrat in California, and every Democrat in Illinois, and

680
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,879
Speaker 1: every Democrat in New York simply doesn't vote. Would would

681
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 1: elections matter? Then here's the thing. In order to change

682
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: how we select our presidents, we kind of need to

683
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: amend the Constitution. In fact, the framers of the Constitution

684
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: three times three times rejected the possibility of doing a

685
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: direct national election. They wanted proportional representation in the House

686
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: for the same reason they wanted an electoral college system,

687
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: because they knew that big states by population would simply

688
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: dominate smaller states and impose their will on them. And

689
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,800
Speaker 1: do you know what states actually had much bigger populations

690
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: back then, all of the Southern states, because of all

691
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: the slaves they had. This led to what's known as

692
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: the three fifths Compromise, which modern day liberals point to

693
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: as being the most racist thing on earth. It was

694
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: actually an effort to limit the power of the slave

695
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: holding states and thus limit the potential spread of slavery

696
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 1: by declaring that slaves were three fifths of a person

697
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: for purposes of electoral college apportionment. For purposes of congressional apportionment,

698
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: if you counted slaves as full people. The South would

699
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: just dominate. We would never be able to limit slavery.

700
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,120
Speaker 1: There would have never been a Missouri compromise. It would

701
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: have just it's entirely possible that we would have had

702
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: slavery well into the nineteen hundreds if you didn't have

703
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: the three Fifths compromise. In any event, the founders understood

704
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: that this sort of direct democracy did not work in

705
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: a confederation of states. We are United States of America.

706
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 1: We are not simply America. In our system known as federalism,

707
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: the states, i e. The government that is more representative

708
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: to the people who live in those states has a

709
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of power, and that's by design. If we

710
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,760
Speaker 1: would be dominated at the federal level by the biggest

711
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: population states California, New York, and just so we're clear,

712
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: this is what democrats want, we would lose our autonomy

713
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: as Wisconsinites. Here's the thing. This is grossly unconstitutional. What

714
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: it tries to do is work an end around on

715
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: the need for a constitute utional amendment. So what it

716
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: sets up is an interstate compact. It's even in the

717
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: name right, the interstate National Popular Vote Compact. Guess what

718
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 1: there is actually a clause in the Constitution, which I'm

719
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: taking a wild guest keld Royce and Representative Snosberry did

720
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: not actually read, called the compact clause quote. No state shall,

721
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,880
Speaker 1: without the consent of Congress, enter into any agreement or

722
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 1: compact with another state. The National Popular Vote Compact is

723
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 1: explicitly an interstate compact, something like seventeen states Washington, d c.

724
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: And they think they're going to be able to get

725
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 1: a couple more. They've signed a binding agreement that their

726
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: electoral votes are going to be awarded to the popular

727
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: vote winner, regardless of how their own citizens voted. Yeah,

728
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: I don't need I could go on for a half

729
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 1: hour just listing off all of the times that the

730
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: Supreme Court has upheld that Congress must consent to any

731
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:14,240
Speaker 1: interstate compact. You cannot sign a binding agreement with another

732
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: state unless Congress signs off on it. Not only that

733
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: this absolutely usurps the Elections Clause, Article two, Section one,

734
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 1: Clause two. Each state shall appoint in such manner as

735
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: the legislature thereof may direct a number of electors. The

736
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: state legislatures therefore have plenary power. What that means is

737
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: absolute authority over how electors are appointed that the Supreme

738
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: Court just upheld this in the Wisconsin case Morphy Harper

739
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: in literally two years ago. Bush v. Gore was another

740
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:08,720
Speaker 1: case that said, look, state legislators, they have the power

741
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: nobody else the legislature. The state legislature would effectively surrender

742
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: its expressly given constitutional authority to this again unconstitutional compact,

743
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 1: this consortium of other states. Now, what happens once the

744
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: compact is triggered, once they get to two hundred and

745
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: seventy electoral votes, If they ever do, my guess is

746
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: that they will not. The legislature of that state is powerless.

747
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: Let's say Wisconsin joins the Interstate Voting Compact. Let's say

748
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: Republicans lose everything. Next year, the Supreme Court goes five

749
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 1: to two, LIB they win the governor's mansion. We have

750
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: governor men deadbeat Barnes, we have a Democrat legislature, and

751
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:06,359
Speaker 1: they join the Interstate Voting Compact. Okay, Let's say in

752
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: twenty thirty the voters of Wisconsin go, oh my god,

753
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 1: we've made a terrible mistake, and it's a Republican wave

754
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: the likes of which we have never seen before. Governor

755
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 1: Matt Walker Scott's Son sweeps into power and we want

756
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: to get out of the voting compact. You can't. You can't.

757
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: The legislature is powerless to change the method by which

758
00:54:38,040 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: electors are appointed. This compact binds future legislatures and that

759
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 1: is grossly unconstitutional. We didn't even get to the unconstitutionality

760
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: of trying to undo or write a constitutional amendment through

761
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: an interstate compact. What is it about Democrats who constantly

762
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: want to take away your voice effectively? You want to

763
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 1: talk about disenfranchising people. What happens if the election is

764
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: going to be decided by how California, New York, Illinois, Texas, Florida,

765
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: and I don't know Pennsylvania vote, that's pretty much it.

766
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 1: I believe those are the six or seven most populous

767
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:32,960
Speaker 1: states in America. That is going to be all that matters. Sure,

768
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 1: Wisconsin is we get more attention probably every four years

769
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: than any other state because we are and have been

770
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: for several cycles now sort of the ultimate swing state,

771
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: just like Pennsylvania, just like Florida before us. But in

772
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: order to get around what Democrats don't like, and I'll

773
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: tell you why they are trying to revive this now

774
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:04,280
Speaker 1: A kel de Roys is doing as much crazy liberal stuff.

775
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: I've got sources who forward me all of the insane

776
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: bills like this one that get circulated for co sponsorship.

777
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: By the way, if you would like to sign on,

778
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: you have until January second of twenty twenty six to

779
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,719
Speaker 1: do so. To sign on for co sponsorship of the

780
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:28,840
Speaker 1: revived National Voter Compact. She's just doing this because she

781
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: wants to get her liberal bonafides. She wants to show

782
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 1: to the Democrat gubernatorial voter base that she's just as

783
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:40,240
Speaker 1: far to the left as man deadbeat or Sarah Rodriguez

784
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: or David Crowley or any of the other fifty nine

785
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: Democrats in this race who are polling better than she

786
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: is early on. But it's remarkable to me that Democrats

787
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 1: constantly want to monkey with the way we vote because

788
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: they don't believe that the way we vote elects them

789
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 1: often enough, But I'll tell you the real underlying reason

790
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: that they want to do this. It's also the underlying

791
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: reason that Biden was flying in illegals by the millions

792
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 1: and putting them in various states so they could get

793
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: welfare benefits defraud them like in Minnesota. It's because they're

794
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 1: all terrified of the twenty thirty redistricting. We'll discuss next

795
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Dan O'Donnell Show. Classical Conservatism Contemporary Style. Sorry,

796
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: I was shocker getting a story ready. Hopefully we'll be

797
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: able to do it on Monday, coming up later this hour.

798
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: The unsung hero of the Day. I think based on

799
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: the story that we led with this afternoon, you can

800
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 1: probably guess the pillars of the community that we're going

801
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: to highlight and try to help out anyway we can.

802
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: Democrats are putting out a bill that's going to go nowhere,

803
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: and folks, sometimes I'll get people who wonder, why, hey, Dan, Dan,

804
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: why do you focus on these bills? Democrats that have

805
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: a minority in both the state Senate and State Assembly

806
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 1: put out a bill today to try to get Wisconsin

807
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: to join this interstate voting Compact, where we would award

808
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's electoral votes not to the candidate in presidential elections

809
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: who actually wins Wisconsin, but the candidate who wins the

810
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: national popular vote. It's not just stupid, it's also grossly unconstitutional.

811
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: And in any event, people ask me, Dan, Dan, why

812
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: do you focus on this? Why do you focus on

813
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: this it's never going to become law, right, Robin Voss

814
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: is just he's never going to put it up for

815
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: a vote. I actually believe that Voss should put all

816
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: of this crazy crap up for a vote, and so

817
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: too should the state Senate. So people, so Democrats are

818
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: forced to go on the record with this stuff, folks.

819
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,439
Speaker 1: I highlight this because I am telling you that this

820
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: is the sort of stuff that does become law when

821
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: Democrats take over. We are very very close to turning

822
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: into Illinois or Minnesota if this election does not go

823
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 1: the way we want it to bye by state Senate.

824
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: The State Assembly might be able to hang on, but

825
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: there would be a five to two majority on the

826
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: state Supreme Court, meaning we'd get liberal decisions. Anything any

827
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: conservative governor or legislature turns out for the next decade

828
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: plus would be struck down as unconstitutional by the four

829
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: hags on the Supreme Court. Yes, I absolutely said hags. Yes,

830
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: I absolutely mean it. Not because of their appearance, but

831
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 1: because if their just inability or unwillingness to actually behave

832
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: as real judges. They're hacks. They're a way we can

833
01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: combine hack and hack hag hackga, that's what they are

834
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:19,480
Speaker 1: they just strike it down. So the reason that we

835
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: get this interstate Voter Compact now, it's actually the same

836
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: reason that Democrats have been importing illegal aliens like crazy

837
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: for the last five years, because they know they know

838
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: what the twenty thirty census is going to bring. In fact,

839
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: there was a big, big problem with the twenty twenty census.

840
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: This is why there is this push to redistrict in

841
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: the state of Texas, which of course kicked off the

842
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: great redistricting Wars. Did you see the Indiana State Senate

843
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:57,120
Speaker 1: struck down that state's effort to redistrict to draw a

844
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: more Republican friendly map. California is obviously going to do it.

845
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 1: New York just did it, but we had a national

846
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 1: freak out by lefties when Texas did it. Texas actually

847
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: got screwed by the twenty twenty census. The Census Bureau

848
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: admitted they screwed up because of COVID They dramatically undercounted

849
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: black and Hispanic people in southern states. Texas was only

850
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: a handful of people away from being awarded another congressman,

851
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: thus another electoral vote. Had the census been done correctly,

852
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: Texas absolutely would have one more electoral vote. I believe

853
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: it would have come out of New York and they

854
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: very likely would have had two more electoral votes well

855
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:44,920
Speaker 1: in twenty thirty because there has been so much population

856
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:50,919
Speaker 1: shift away from horribly run liberal states like California, New York,

857
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: and Illinois, all of those states would actually lose so

858
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: many electoral votes. Wisconsin is in very much, very grave

859
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 1: danger of losing an electoral vote. We would lose a

860
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: congressional representative under current projections, and all of those electoral

861
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: votes would go to conservative states. Florida would gain like

862
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: four electoral votes, Texas would gain three or four, Georgia

863
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 1: gains one, Utah gains one, Wyoming games one. And what

864
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: this would mean is that the twenty thirty two Republican

865
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 1: presidential candidate would be able to win the presidential election

866
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: without winning Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin. All they would have

867
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 1: to do is sweep the Sun Belt, hold on to

868
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: Texas and Florida and all of the states that President

869
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 1: Trump won. They could lose the so called Rust Belt

870
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 1: or Blue Wall, and it wouldn't matter. So Democrats have

871
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 1: been panicking about this, and this is one of the

872
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: big reasons. Didn't it seem weird that the Biden administration

873
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: was instead of just keeping all of these illegals who

874
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: were flooding over the border in twenty twenty one through

875
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five in the Southern States, in Texas, in California,

876
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 1: in Arizona, in the places where they were actually coming

877
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 1: across the port. Why were we flying them all around

878
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: the country. Why are there random Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, who,

879
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: according to President Trump, were eating the cats and eating

880
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: the dogs. Why are their random Nicaraguins in is it Whitewater?

881
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,959
Speaker 1: Is that where there's a massive population of illegal yet

882
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: paroled is it Nicaraguins or some Central South America? There's

883
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: two thousand of them in a sleepy, little college town. Why. Well,

884
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: the reason is to try to make up for some

885
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: of these population shifts. And while this is great news

886
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: for national politics, it's probably pretty bad right now in

887
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: the short term for Wisconsin and for states like ours

888
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: who are desperately trying to hold on to some semblance

889
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:08,920
Speaker 1: of sanity. But as Conservatives and Republicans as they're hitting

890
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: retirement age, it's going to be what a high of

891
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 1: eight degrees tomorrow with a windshill of minus twenty. My goodness,

892
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: if I was retired, I wouldn't want to be out

893
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: in that. I'd be down in Naples. And there are

894
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people who said, yeah, we're we're out.

895
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,600
Speaker 1: And because there's no state income tax in Florida, well

896
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 1: why would you continue to pay state income taxes in

897
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 1: Wisconsin or in New York or in California. You're making like,

898
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: for example, Yannis, we're all in agreement. This story really

899
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: popped while I was at my brother's wedding in Mexico

900
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: last week. We're all sort of in agreement that Jannis

901
01:04:56,920 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: is gone.

902
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:58,000
Speaker 3: Right.

903
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: Nobody really wants to admit it, but he's absolutely gone.

904
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: He wants to force a trade to New York. He

905
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 1: wants to play on the Knicks. I don't think they

906
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: have the assets to get Jiannis, but we'll see. He

907
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 1: would lose millions of dollars because New York's state tax

908
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: rate is so much higher than Wisconsin's, and because he's

909
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: playing so many games in New York State, he's getting

910
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 1: so much income in New York State, it would be

911
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:30,440
Speaker 1: taxed at a much higher rate. In fact, when Lebron

912
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: James made the decision, remember that and he went. He

913
01:05:34,320 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 1: took his talents to South Beach. Was that in twenty

914
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 1: nine to twenty ten? Somewhere there he said, We're not

915
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: going to win one championship, not two, not three, not four,

916
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: not five. He just kept counting like he won two.

917
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: Good work, bron He made tons of money because Florida

918
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 1: didn't have a state income tax, so he was paying

919
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 1: state income taxes. In Ohio, he no longer had to

920
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 1: pay state income taxes. And when you're making tens of

921
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 1: millions of dollars every single year, that amount adds up. Well,

922
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: imagine if you go from Wisconsin to Florida in order

923
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: to not pay state income taxes, you also have to

924
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: no longer vote in that state. So that's a bit

925
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: of a prophet. Speaking of Minnesota, Governor Tim Walls held

926
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: a hilariously awful press conference on the Somali fraud scam.

927
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: We'll get into that next, folks. We have no idea

928
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 1: the bullet we dodged last November. Not only would Kamala

929
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 1: Harris have been our president, we would have had to

930
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:47,160
Speaker 1: have listened to the bumbling buffoon Tim Walls as VP.

931
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:53,320
Speaker 1: His state is engulfed in a massive scandal Somali illegals

932
01:06:53,600 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: or those who have been given refugee status under questionable circumstances,

933
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 1: have been convicted in truly huge numbers of defrauding an

934
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 1: estimated eight hundred and twenty million to one billion dollars

935
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: in social services. The biggest one was Feeding our Future.

936
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 1: Seventy eight Code defendants who have been charged, almost all

937
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 1: of them Somali. Fifty six of them have pleaded guilty.

938
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: Seven have been found guilty at trial. They stole about

939
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars using fake meal sites shell companies

940
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 1: that were claiming to feed thousands of children who guess what,

941
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 1: did not exist. They stole an additional three hundred two

942
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: million from the Housing Stabilization Service using again fake companies,

943
01:07:56,200 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: billing Medicaid for undelivered housing, and up to two hundred

944
01:08:01,040 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: and twenty million dollars for autism therapy fraud, falsifying diagnoses

945
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: and billing for phantom sessions to kids who most certainly

946
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: did not have autism. They targeted Somali families and gave

947
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: the parents kickbacks for fraudulently claiming that their kids had autism.

948
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 1: They also were allegedly funding this money. This ill gotten

949
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 1: money back to Africa to al Shabab, an affiliate of

950
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 1: al Qaeda. The US Treasury is currently investigating that. So far,

951
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 1: I have not actually seen any real concrete evidence that

952
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: there was a direct payment as a result of this

953
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:48,639
Speaker 1: fraud going to al Shabab. Well, finally, Old Tampon Tim

954
01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 1: himself was holding a press conference today and he was

955
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:56,679
Speaker 1: actually asked about the Somali welfare fraud. It went about

956
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 1: as well as you would expect. This is an honest

957
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 1: to goodness answer from an allegedly serious politician.

958
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,719
Speaker 2: I think it's really important for us to note again,

959
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 2: this is eighty people or so that have been convicted

960
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 2: in this, maybe some more in that out of a

961
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 2: broader ring medicate. Fraud will stretch across all racial demographics,

962
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 2: all ethnic groups. So I think it's really important for

963
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 2: us to note each each community's got this in their

964
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 2: own Mitch. But to blame them and say that they

965
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 2: should have been responsible for stopping it, I think that's

966
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,759
Speaker 2: a pretty hard reach. I think we continue to educate

967
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 2: folks about why they shouldn't commit crimes. You would hope

968
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 2: that it's being taught both at home and at schools

969
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 2: and in our society, But no I think this idea

970
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 2: that the Somali communities to blame for this because they

971
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:47,680
Speaker 2: didn't do more. I think that's how we got into this.

972
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, he thinks that we should be teaching people not

973
01:09:55,800 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: to commit billion dollar welfare fraud. He hopes that they

974
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: would teach that at home. Now. A reporter actually asked, hey,

975
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 1: do you actually think that the Somali community maybe should be,

976
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:13,799
Speaker 1: you know, taking more responsibility because all the Somali leaders

977
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis are saying, is hey, it's racist to call

978
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: out our billion dollar fraud. Do you think this reporter

979
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: asked that the Somali community should be taking more ownership

980
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,839
Speaker 1: of this, and I honestly had to do a double

981
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 1: take while I was listening to Tim Walls's answer because

982
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:33,320
Speaker 1: I could not believe what he was saying.

983
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,719
Speaker 5: Do you want to hear more from members of leaders

984
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 5: from the small community to say we need to hold

985
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,600
Speaker 5: our we need to look at ourselves, we need to

986
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 5: hold our home Leahber's poddle because a little bit.

987
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: The damage that this is done to our fear?

988
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 5: What do you want to hear more from the sad

989
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 5: im just saying don't blame us. Do you want to

990
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 5: see more ownership and oversight from.

991
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 2: A look, it's not law abiding citizens. If that were

992
01:10:57,960 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 2: the case, there's a lot of white men should be

993
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 2: hold holding a lot of white men accountable for the

994
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 2: crimes that they have committed. I think for the community

995
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,680
Speaker 2: to maybe educate their population, because I think what you're

996
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 2: seeing here is there are secondary victims in this, that

997
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,640
Speaker 2: there's dividers inside the community that are then victimizing the

998
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 2: com creutity himself by signing them up. Because when we're

999
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 2: going to some of these people, they're like, I had

1000
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 2: no idea I was in this program. So I think

1001
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 2: it's it's asking us then, you know, for every crime,

1002
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 2: which of course the majority being committed by white men,

1003
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 2: asking us to do more about that. I think it's

1004
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 2: crime in general.

1005
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: Ah, yes, yes, all the white men committing billion dollar

1006
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 1: welfare fraud. This comes on the heels of him saying

1007
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago that yes, you're going to

1008
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 1: have fraud. It's not necessarily a Somali thing. You're going

1009
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: to have fraud in states like Oris which have insanely

1010
01:11:52,520 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 1: generous welfare benefits. Governor Walls, maybe maybe you should maybe

1011
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 1: not have overly generous welfare benefits and double check to

1012
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 1: make sure that there is no fraud. Meanwhile, here in Wisconsin,

1013
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 1: it seems an awful lot like Governor Evers and his

1014
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:15,839
Speaker 1: administration doesn't want to find out if there's any fraud.

1015
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:19,640
Speaker 1: The federal government has been trying to do audits in

1016
01:12:19,720 --> 01:12:23,120
Speaker 1: Wisconsin to try to figure out, Hey, are we paying

1017
01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: out phantom medicaid or are we paying out phantom welfare benefits.

1018
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 1: The Ebers administration is not allowing any access to their data.

1019
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 1: Why why there could be a fraud double the size

1020
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: of Minnesota's Somali welfare fraud. We'd have no idea because

1021
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 1: the people in charge of our state want to protect

1022
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 1: those committing the fraud out of some insane belief in

1023
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 1: political correctness. Tim Walls, well, we got to have the

1024
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 1: white guys. We don't ask white guys to police them.

1025
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:04,280
Speaker 1: Do you give me a break? These are people who

1026
01:13:04,320 --> 01:13:07,759
Speaker 1: we are taking from a third world country. He set himself.

1027
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 1: He's like, well, I sure hope that they teach them

1028
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:14,439
Speaker 1: in Somali households not to steal. I sure hope they

1029
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 1: teach them not to commit fraud. I sure hope they're

1030
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 1: teaching that at the home. Do you think that might

1031
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:27,479
Speaker 1: be any sort of evidence that maybe, just maybe these

1032
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:32,120
Speaker 1: are people who don't fully believe in the American slash

1033
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: Western values of you know, don't steal and don't commit

1034
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:42,080
Speaker 1: massive welfare fraud. He's bending over backwards to try to

1035
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 1: grovel for the approval of Somali immigrants while ignoring flat

1036
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 1: out there is a concerted effort within that community to

1037
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:58,640
Speaker 1: defraud the system. I firmly believe we need a complete

1038
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 1: and total, thorough audit of Wisconsin's welfare system to make

1039
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:10,640
Speaker 1: sure there's not similar fraud going on here. It is

1040
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell show. Merry Christmas. Time now to name

1041
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 1: the unsung hero of the day. Today's unsung heroes of

1042
01:14:24,640 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: the day are the owners and staff at the Bass

1043
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:32,640
Speaker 1: Bay Brew House, who for a decade have been pillars

1044
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 1: of the Muskego community and quite frankly ran one of

1045
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 1: my absolute favorite restaurants. Well, bassbe Brew House burned to

1046
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: the ground today. The cause of the fire is still

1047
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:48,440
Speaker 1: under investigation. And these are people that just before Christmas

1048
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: have lost a whole lot legacy, just a longtime family, business, jobs, careers,

1049
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 1: and I think everyone needs to help them pick up

1050
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:07,839
Speaker 1: the pieces and rebuild for not just the Muskigo community,

1051
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 1: but for all of southeast Wisconsin. The team over at

1052
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: bass Ba Brewhouse your unsung heroes of the day. We'll

1053
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 1: be back with Lieutenant Governor candidate Will Martin right here

1054
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:24,400
Speaker 1: on the Dan oh Donald Show. Welcome back, final hour

1055
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: of this busy broadcast week here on the Dan o'donalds

1056
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 1: shew Boyd. Has been good to be back this week.

1057
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if it went as fast for you

1058
01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 1: as it did for me. I was gone half of

1059
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 1: the week last week at my brother's wedding. Before that, obviously,

1060
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 1: it was Thanksgiving, and I thought, oh, man, since I

1061
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:45,240
Speaker 1: haven't really been working all that much as much as

1062
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 1: I've wanted to, I thought, man, this week is just

1063
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 1: going to drag. I cannot believe we have already reached

1064
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:54,799
Speaker 1: the end of it. Most of you are already hunkering

1065
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 1: down for a long winter's nap as it's not going

1066
01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: to get up above minus fifteen for a wind chill

1067
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 1: until Monday morning. Do we know, Producer Eric, is the

1068
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:11,040
Speaker 1: wind chill going to be super low on Monday? I'm

1069
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 1: sure my kids are. It's supposed to be breezy, but

1070
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the wind chill going to be you know,

1071
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 1: twenty below zero. That's usually the magic number. It's like

1072
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:25,360
Speaker 1: twenty five below zero. If the wind chill hits yeah,

1073
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: that's that's not going to be enough to cancel school.

1074
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 1: The kids just head off for a full week for Thanksgiving.

1075
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 1: They're getting off two full weeks for Christmas. And every

1076
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 1: time there's snow in the forecaster, it gets really coold.

1077
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 1: I hear, do you think we're gonna have school?

1078
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:42,720
Speaker 3: Oh?

1079
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 1: Man, I wish. I wish when we got the snowfall

1080
01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:50,719
Speaker 1: right after Thanksgiving, I go, man, I wish this would

1081
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 1: have filled. I wish this would have filled on Monday,

1082
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 1: because we wouldn't have dged. You were just off for

1083
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 1: a week. How much more school could you possibly miss?

1084
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:02,840
Speaker 1: Coming up in just a second, Will Martin discusses his

1085
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 1: energy policy. I'd love having Will on. He's a candidate

1086
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 1: for lieutenant governor. He's actually got a fantastic policy. If

1087
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: you know anything about this show, it's that we get

1088
01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 1: down into the nitty gritty about policy and politics. And

1089
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: that's why I so enjoy talking to him. If you

1090
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: want to join us four one, four seven, nine, nine

1091

Speaker 1: text line. You can also reach us toll free one

1093
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 1: eight one hundred eight three eight nine four seven six

1094
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 1: email me directly DD at iHeartMedia dot com. A reminder,

1095
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 1: this is the final weekend. We extended our deadline to

1096
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,960
Speaker 1: take submissions for the Dan O'Donnell show Family Christmas Special,

1097
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: and during commercial breaks, I have actually been going through

1098
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 1: my junk email folder. I actually found like three different submissions,

1099
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:59,679
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my goodness, because we have actually

1100
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:01,680
Speaker 1: there the era ben ones that end up in my

1101
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 1: junk filter just for whatever reason and I don't see them.

1102
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: And there was one time a year or two ago

1103
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 1: we actually had a mother frantically emailing me saying, Dan,

1104
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,720
Speaker 1: I listened to the special and I didn't hear my son.

1105
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:17,280
Speaker 1: What happened. I'm like, oh my goodness. So he had

1106
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:20,920
Speaker 1: to kind of edit him into the podcast. Please do

1107
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 1: if you submitted you did not hear from me, If

1108
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: you did not hear back, send it again because it

1109
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 1: probably meant it went to my spam filter. So you

1110
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 1: do have a couple of days left. And if it

1111
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:37,640
Speaker 1: was so sweet, I had a little girl email me

1112
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 1: it was stuck in my spam filter, and she said,

1113
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: mister O'Donnell. Mi Nana said that I should email you,

1114
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 1: but my song is two and a half minutes. Is

1115
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 1: there any way you'll take it if you don't, I

1116
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 1: totally understand, I said Paisley, absolutely, I will take here

1117
01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: two and a half minutes. So if we have to

1118
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 1: edit it down, we do it. You'll never even be

1119
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 1: able to the average listener will never even be able

1120
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 1: to tell that I edited. We have gotten very very

1121
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: good at this in all the years we have done

1122
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:13,759
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show. All Right, I am so happy

1123
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 1: to welcome to the Dan o'donald Show once again. He is,

1124
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:22,599
Speaker 1: and I genuinely mean this, one of the smartest people

1125
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,719
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin when it comes to policy. He is running

1126
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: once again for lieutenant governor after running for the first

1127
01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: time in twenty twenty two, losing out in the Republican primary,

1128
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: although this time I do believe that he is going

1129
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 1: to be incredibly successful. He is Will Martin Will welcome

1130
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 1: to the Dan o'donald Show. Great, haven't you here?

1131
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks so much for having me in. Greetings from

1132
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:51,880
Speaker 3: the road, because I'm out campaigning hard.

1133
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, where are you right now? I could tell when

1134
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: we talked very briefly off the air, that you were

1135
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:00,800
Speaker 1: in the car where you head.

1136
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm on my way. I'm on my way to Nina.

1137
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 1: You're on your way to Nina. Excellent.

1138
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 3: I like that absolutely.

1139
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: What are you doing there? Is it like a Republican

1140
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: Party event something like that.

1141
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 3: It's exactly what it is, excellently what it is.

1142
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 1: Excellent.

1143
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 3: Making sure we get out and talk to every part

1144
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 3: of the Republican Party gets them excited because twenty twenty

1145
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 3: six is not only the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary

1146
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 3: of American independence, it is going to be the renewal

1147
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 3: of the Republican Party in Wisconsin. We're going to win

1148
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 3: in November.

1149
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 1: I certainly do believe that, you know, do you think

1150
01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 1: as a lot of people do that just the cyclical

1151
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 1: nature of American politics means that Republicans are going to

1152
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 1: have a much more difficult time this election cycle because

1153
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 1: obviously we control the White House, and usually it's the

1154
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 1: out party, the party that doesn't control the White House

1155
01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 1: that does very very well, especially in Wisconsin in those midterms.

1156
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,400
Speaker 3: I think we're always up against California money, and I

1157
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 3: think they're always dynamic. Yeah, but the issue is going

1158
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:08,720
Speaker 3: to be about the character and in the strength of

1159
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,799
Speaker 3: the candidates we put forward. And I'll take our candidate

1160
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:13,599
Speaker 3: every day over Mandela Barnes.

1161
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:18,200
Speaker 1: No kidding, all right? Level with me? Will are you

1162
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: secretly hoping he wins the nomination?

1163
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:22,799
Speaker 3: I'm not secretly hoping.

1164
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I don't. It is like I swear,

1165
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 1: it is like Christmas came early right after Thanksgiving. I'm

1166
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: like boom that Monday morning. He could have waited until

1167
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: I was in Mexico City. No, I have gotten two

1168
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:43,640
Speaker 1: full weeks of joy out of Mandela Barnes being a

1169
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: gubernatorial candidate. What does it say to you that the

1170
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 1: party really, really really seems like it does not want

1171
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:51,559
Speaker 1: him running for governor.

1172
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 3: Well, and good for them that they they know the

1173
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:57,080
Speaker 3: problems that they're going to have and the greatest hits

1174
01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 3: are going to come up all over again. And I

1175
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:01,679
Speaker 3: think for us, we've got to take it seriously because

1176
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 3: all of his issues came within twenty six thousand votes

1177
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 3: winning the US Senate seats. So I think we've got

1178
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:13,479
Speaker 3: to all be united on our side. We cannot take

1179
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 3: this as a cakewalk, because it certainly will not be. No,

1180
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 3: and he's going to bring as much money as the

1181
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 3: barrels will load from California, So we have to be

1182
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 3: really wrench for the fact that all that California money

1183
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:29,799
Speaker 3: can make a pig into a stallion. If we believe

1184
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:33,480
Speaker 3: the commercials.

1185
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:36,040
Speaker 1: Will Martin candidate for a lieutenant governor. Sir, you've got

1186
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:40,800
Speaker 1: an everything on the table, all of the above energy

1187
01:22:40,840 --> 01:22:44,640
Speaker 1: policy approach. I was sort of reading through it in

1188
01:22:44,680 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: preparation for this interview. Why don't you give our listeners

1189
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: just a little highlight of what you think Wisconsin can

1190
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 1: do energy wise, because I'll tell you what one of

1191
01:22:55,840 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 1: the big debates right now is. First, please do give

1192
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:02,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of an overview of your plan, but

1193
01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:05,000
Speaker 1: I do want to get into the issue of which

1194
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:09,639
Speaker 1: is big, big controversial stuff data centers. So the overview

1195
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 1: of your energy plans, sir.

1196
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely so. Here even if we never opened a

1197
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 3: data center in the state of Wisconsin ever, right now today,

1198
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:23,759
Speaker 3: we're actually so dependent on other states and Canada because

1199
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 3: we actually consume nearly six times as much energy as

1200
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:30,880
Speaker 3: we produce in the state of Wisconsin. We always talk

1201
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 3: about America's need for energy independence. Well, Wisconsin got to

1202
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 3: produce more if we're going to have more independence and

1203
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:40,759
Speaker 3: greater control over what happens to us in the future.

1204
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 3: So the reason that we're putting us forward is again

1205
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 3: we do not produce enough energy regardless of data centers

1206
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 3: coming in the state. We've got to get control over

1207
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 3: what we're doing. And what we're coming forward to say

1208
01:23:54,040 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 3: is we need in all of the above strategy. You

1209
01:23:57,200 --> 01:23:59,680
Speaker 3: saw today, it was a beautiful day. I just don't

1210
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 3: know how much solar we actually produced in Wisconsin today.

1211
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 3: So our current governor and his in his policy plan

1212
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 3: was all about renewables, which you now are intermittent at best.

1213
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 3: We need actual sources that are going to give us

1214
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:22,880
Speaker 3: a continuous twenty four seven three sixty five stream of

1215
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 3: energy to viuel the future in the state. I'm actually

1216
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 3: calling on getting more small modular reactors SMRs that we

1217
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 3: can build in the state as well as part of

1218
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 3: that mix. You know today. These are highly efficient, very

1219
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:43,719
Speaker 3: safe systems. And here's a statistic that I think will

1220
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 3: help your listeners. Just two point two pounds of uranium

1221
01:24:49,560 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 3: produces the same energy as nearly six million pounds of coals.

1222
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:54,639
Speaker 1: Wow.

1223
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 3: So this this nonsense, get right? So to this nonsense

1224
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 3: of hey, we are ch choose between a clean environment,

1225
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 3: clean water, clean clean air, et cetera, or energy production

1226
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 3: is a false it's a false equipalance. Here we can

1227
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 3: actually produce energy at higher level and still have an

1228
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,880
Speaker 3: incredibly clean environment as well.

1229
01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 1: I love the idea of small scale nuclear. I believe

1230
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:29,680
Speaker 1: it's the future. I think there is a tremendous not

1231
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:34,560
Speaker 1: only humanity changing potential in it, there is a tremendous

1232
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 1: investment potential in this. I still think Chernobyl and Three

1233
01:25:41,640 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 1: Mile Island did more damage to American energy policy than

1234
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:52,800
Speaker 1: anything perhaps in our history. Nuclear reactors nuclear power is

1235
01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 1: practically a miracle. And the fact that we have decided

1236
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 1: that it is this incredibly dangerous thing when it really

1237
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 1: is not right, it's really I think it's set us

1238
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: back decades. I really do it is.

1239
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:12,920
Speaker 3: Here's the interesting thing is if we start to educate

1240
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 3: people about what it really is like today, all the

1241
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 3: progress that's have made, and again we're not saying don't

1242
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 3: use all We literally are saying, use every source we

1243
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:26,680
Speaker 3: can to greet Wisconsin's future. But in that here's the

1244
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:30,559
Speaker 3: thing that happens. We create than family supporting jobs as

1245
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 3: a result, these are jobs that cannot be automated when

1246
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:38,880
Speaker 3: we're talking about energy production and creating expanding the grid

1247
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:42,759
Speaker 3: that's required for us. And then you mentioned data centers.

1248
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 3: Here's the thing I think of data centers at a

1249
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 3: national security issue. We want our data to be closer.

1250
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 3: I don't think we want China owning all our data,

1251
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,439
Speaker 3: and so we're gonna want now. I believe in freedom

1252
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 3: and I believe in choice, and so communities should make

1253
01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 3: the decison for themselves whether they want it or not.

1254
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 3: But I do believe we want our data closer to home.

1255
01:27:05,280 --> 01:27:07,240
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you this much. I think for these

1256
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:10,600
Speaker 3: companies that are spending a billion dollars on creating a

1257
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 3: new data center, I think they should also, as part

1258
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 3: of the bargain, put one of those SMRs, one of

1259
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:22,640
Speaker 3: those small modular nuclear reactors right there to power themselves

1260
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 3: and anything additional they go ahead and sell back to

1261
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 3: the rest of us to help generate more energy for

1262
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 3: the state. That way, we're neutral to getting data centers

1263
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:36,240
Speaker 3: into Wisconsin, and they're not taking from us. They're actually

1264
01:27:36,280 --> 01:27:37,719
Speaker 3: producing more for us.

1265
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 1: And in fact, what's actually happening in other states is

1266
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 1: the excess power that is being produced by these data

1267
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 1: centers oftentimes is just given back to the people as

1268
01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 1: sort of a condition of the data centers going up.

1269
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 1: It's not like these are small companies that are putting

1270
01:27:56,200 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 1: this And it's not like Joe's Data Center Incorporated. We're

1271
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 1: talking METOW, We're talking Amazon, We're talking Microsoft, we're talking Apple.

1272
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:06,719
Speaker 1: These are the biggest companies on planet Earth.

1273
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:07,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

1274
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 1: And and but you.

1275
01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:12,519
Speaker 3: Know what's holding us back, though, Dan, And you're making

1276
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 3: the point exactly what's holding us back is leadership. Yeah,

1277
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:19,559
Speaker 3: core leadership, but giving the people that was not an

1278
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:21,519
Speaker 3: idea that you can either have one or the other.

1279
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:24,960
Speaker 3: You can't have both. Yeah, both, we can do it

1280
01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 3: under better leadership. And the Republicans are going to put

1281
01:28:28,240 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 3: forward better leadership next year.

1282
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:33,760
Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of fear of these

1283
01:28:33,840 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 1: data centers. This this idea that somehow they're just going

1284
01:28:37,200 --> 01:28:41,599
Speaker 1: to be plopped down in the middle of Fred's family farm. Uh,

1285
01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:45,360
Speaker 1: that that just isn't true. I mean, it just it

1286
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 1: seems like the messaging coming from the Evers administration, because

1287
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:54,720
Speaker 1: I think they naturally have to cater to their anti capitalist,

1288
01:28:54,840 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 1: anti big business crazy base. You don't have effective message

1289
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:02,559
Speaker 1: coming from the top of the state saying, hey, look,

1290
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 1: these data centers are largely going in industrial parks. These

1291
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 1: are largely going to be independent, separate from the electrical grid.

1292
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 1: They're not going to drain Lake Michigan. Most of them

1293
01:29:15,240 --> 01:29:19,519
Speaker 1: don't even use water based cooling systems anymore, so they

1294
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:23,519
Speaker 1: don't have a need for tremendous amounts of water. And

1295
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:29,839
Speaker 1: if we as a state with a whole bunch of flat,

1296
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 1: easily developable land with access to a lot of fresh water,

1297
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:38,200
Speaker 1: if we do need it, we have the potential to

1298
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:41,600
Speaker 1: just so dramatically increase our tax base. And it's like

1299
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 1: people I think are short sighted. They can't quite see

1300
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:49,960
Speaker 1: the economies that build up around these things. If all

1301
01:29:50,000 --> 01:29:53,919
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Amazon has a massive fulfillment center in Kenosha,

1302
01:29:53,920 --> 01:29:56,639
Speaker 1: it's got a massive data center, don't you think it's

1303
01:29:56,680 --> 01:30:00,240
Speaker 1: going to want to build up more operations in that

1304
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:05,120
Speaker 1: area to support the existing infrastructure it's got there. And

1305
01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:07,680
Speaker 1: I just don't think we're getting that message from the

1306
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 1: Evers administration for I think sadly obviously far left reasons.

1307
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:17,679
Speaker 3: Well, again it's it's poor leadership, right, and so again

1308
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 3: giving people the opportunity to understand I don't blame the

1309
01:30:21,160 --> 01:30:24,439
Speaker 3: people for a misunderstanding the situation. I blame the Evers

1310
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 3: administration for not explaining it. Yeah, and not giving them

1311
01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 3: the information to show them the future. We need this

1312
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:35,640
Speaker 3: in Wisconsin because we need We're great at manufacturing. The

1313
01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 3: next generation of manufacturing is going to be so much

1314
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 3: more automated. And instead of having that automation run over

1315
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:46,040
Speaker 3: the people in Wisconsin, our workers. If this is an

1316
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 3: opportunity to retool our workers and train them for the

1317
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 3: jobs of the future that are going to pay over

1318
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:56,439
Speaker 3: six figures, yep. Our people should be in the position

1319
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:59,720
Speaker 3: to take those jobs and run with them. I'll put

1320
01:30:59,800 --> 01:31:03,160
Speaker 3: up the Wisconsin people against any other workforce any time,

1321
01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:05,680
Speaker 3: but we've got to give them the right information and

1322
01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:06,720
Speaker 3: the tools to do so.

1323
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:10,719
Speaker 1: Amen to that. He is Will Martin. He is running

1324
01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:15,280
Speaker 1: for a Lieutenant governor of Wisconsin as a Republican vote.

1325
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:19,519
Speaker 1: Will Martin dot Com is the website. Learn more about

1326
01:31:19,520 --> 01:31:22,880
Speaker 1: his all of the above energy plan support his candidacy.

1327
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 1: Learned more about him Will. I always do enjoy talking

1328
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 1: policy with you. Let's do it again soon, huh, And hey,

1329
01:31:29,520 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 1: if I don't talk to you, have a very merry Christmas.

1330
01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:34,559
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas to you and God bless you and all

1331
01:31:34,600 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 3: your listeners.

1332
01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:40,160
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, sir, Will Martin, Lieutenant Governor candidate on

1333
01:31:40,200 --> 01:31:41,760
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show. I want to follow up on

1334
01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 1: a couple of the points that Will made. We'll have

1335
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 1: how Bizarre coming up at about five point thirty ish.

1336
01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:54,280
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, we'll be right back. Will Martin, our guest

1337
01:31:54,320 --> 01:31:59,160
Speaker 1: on the Dan o'donald Show, talking about his energy policy

1338
01:31:59,439 --> 01:32:03,720
Speaker 1: and his belief in small scale nuclear reactors, which I

1339
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:07,040
Speaker 1: truly do believe are the future of powering not just

1340
01:32:07,200 --> 01:32:12,480
Speaker 1: data centers across the country, but powering us, powering everything.

1341
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 1: There is going to be such a dramatic increase in

1342
01:32:16,200 --> 01:32:19,519
Speaker 1: the need for power, in the need for electricity, in

1343
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:24,880
Speaker 1: the need for just raw computing power. Did you see

1344
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:28,680
Speaker 1: they finally made it official. Everybody kind of understood that

1345
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:31,320
Speaker 1: the time Person of the Year was either going to

1346
01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 1: be AI or the people who make AI. Apparently the

1347
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:39,479
Speaker 1: cover leaked last night. It is the architects of AI,

1348
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:44,280
Speaker 1: the people who are developing the artificial intelligence systems. The

1349
01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:50,760
Speaker 1: raw computing power needed for that. You need a tremendous

1350
01:32:50,960 --> 01:32:56,200
Speaker 1: amount of data. That data needs a tremendous amount of

1351
01:32:56,240 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 1: electricity to power it. Not only are you getting that

1352
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:03,720
Speaker 1: on the AI side, you also have there is a

1353
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:08,880
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of power needed to mine cryptocurrency or to

1354
01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:14,640
Speaker 1: put things on the block chain. I just so I

1355
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:16,320
Speaker 1: forgot who it was. It might have been Altman, it

1356
01:33:16,400 --> 01:33:19,160
Speaker 1: was somebody said now I think with Jack Dorsey, the

1357
01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 1: former CEO of Twitter, said that bitcoin could potentially be

1358
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:27,560
Speaker 1: worth a million dollars by twenty thirty a single bitcoin.

1359
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:30,000
Speaker 1: Right now it's hovering around ninety thousand. I mean, there

1360
01:33:30,000 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 1: have been wild price fluctuations in the price of bitcoin

1361
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:41,040
Speaker 1: and other cryptocurrencies ethereum and so forth. In order to

1362
01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 1: keep up with the demand. We're simply not going to

1363
01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:49,080
Speaker 1: be able to refine enough oil. We're simply not going

1364
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 1: to be able to burn enough coal. We're simply not

1365
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 1: going to be able to get enough natural gas. Now,

1366
01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't doubt human ingenuity. I'm just talking about the

1367
01:33:58,880 --> 01:34:01,400
Speaker 1: massive scale of what we're seeing. And not only that,

1368
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:06,640
Speaker 1: we're talking about the potential, very very quickly of a

1369
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:12,120
Speaker 1: huge revolution in how we actually get around folks. Self

1370
01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:17,400
Speaker 1: driving cars are coming quicker than we think already. You

1371
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:22,160
Speaker 1: are seeing self driving trucks, you are seeing self driving

1372
01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:28,479
Speaker 1: ubers in Austin, Texas with Google's Waim. Robo taxi by

1373
01:34:28,640 --> 01:34:33,400
Speaker 1: Tesla is supposedly coming online at some point soon, and

1374
01:34:33,560 --> 01:34:37,599
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, who's sort of notorious for promising that full

1375
01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:41,080
Speaker 1: self driving technology in which you don't need to have

1376
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:44,120
Speaker 1: your hands on the steering wheel, is just around the corner.

1377
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 1: As soon as that happens, folks, I'm telling you, I've

1378
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:51,200
Speaker 1: been talking on the air about I'm done. I'm done driving.

1379
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't particularly care for it. I think a machine

1380
01:34:54,120 --> 01:34:57,200
Speaker 1: would probably do a better job than me. I want

1381
01:34:57,240 --> 01:34:59,880
Speaker 1: to sit on my phone and do work while i

1382
01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm being driven around. Yes, I am really that bougie,

1383
01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:06,599
Speaker 1: and I'm willing to pay for it, and I'm willing

1384
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:10,000
Speaker 1: to bet I'm not the only one. If there's anything,

1385
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:14,679
Speaker 1: Remember Joe Biden had that ridiculous electric vehicle mandate. I said, Okay,

1386
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:18,519
Speaker 1: every automaker by a certain date needs to go all electric.

1387
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:26,479
Speaker 1: Well innovation and wholesale societal civilizational change doesn't happen because

1388
01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:30,800
Speaker 1: government forces it. It happens because there is a technological

1389
01:35:30,880 --> 01:35:36,920
Speaker 1: breakthrough that is so life changing that everybody adopts the

1390
01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:41,400
Speaker 1: last big life changing technology that we had in the world.

1391
01:35:41,439 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 1: Do you know what it was? It was about I'd

1392
01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:50,720
Speaker 1: say about fifteen years ago. It sort of became ubiquitous. Yeah, smartphones. Smartphones.

1393
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:56,600
Speaker 1: Everybody by about twenty ten, twenty eleven was having smartphones.

1394
01:35:56,600 --> 01:36:02,280
Speaker 1: By twenty fifteen, certainly, I think the overwhelming majority of

1395
01:36:02,479 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 1: people in the developed world, not just in the United States,

1396
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 1: had smartphones, had an iPhone, had a Google phone. They

1397
01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:17,280
Speaker 1: became necessities for billions of people on planet Earth. Did

1398
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:22,639
Speaker 1: George W. Bush or Barack Obama say, well, by twenty fifteen,

1399
01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:27,080
Speaker 1: every human being must have a smartphone? No human beings

1400
01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:29,559
Speaker 1: bought smartphones. It's going to be the same thing with

1401
01:36:29,760 --> 01:36:35,000
Speaker 1: electric vehicles in that when we have true full self

1402
01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:41,479
Speaker 1: driving autonomous vehicle approval, and that's going to be a

1403
01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:45,800
Speaker 1: big one. That is going to be an absolute big one.

1404
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:49,840
Speaker 1: The lawyers are going to be involved very heavily in this.

1405
01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:55,160
Speaker 1: What happens when a self driving vehicle crashes and kills

1406
01:36:55,240 --> 01:36:58,120
Speaker 1: the guy who is in the backseat in a single

1407
01:36:58,200 --> 01:37:01,799
Speaker 1: vehicle crash, Well, you can't blame human error right now,

1408
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 1: if you're on full self driving in a Tesla, your

1409
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 1: hands need to be on the wheel. Tesla can say, well, yes,

1410
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:12,160
Speaker 1: the full self driving technology failed, but the driver he

1411
01:37:12,680 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 1: aired by not hitting the brakes quick enough or swerving

1412
01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:17,200
Speaker 1: out of the way of that cat quick enough, or

1413
01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:21,519
Speaker 1: whatever it is. If the driver has absolutely no role

1414
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:25,479
Speaker 1: in the driving of the vehicle, well then it's one

1415
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:30,920
Speaker 1: hundred percent on the car and thus the manufacturer. Once

1416
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:34,680
Speaker 1: that happens, there is going to be it's Katie bar

1417
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:40,800
Speaker 1: the door. Once full self driving and electric vehicles become ubiquitous,

1418
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:45,479
Speaker 1: we are going to have such a massive demand for

1419
01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:48,760
Speaker 1: electricity that there's just no way current power grids are

1420
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:51,760
Speaker 1: going to be able to support it. And this is

1421
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:57,640
Speaker 1: why small scale nuclear technology, which is I believe the

1422
01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:01,280
Speaker 1: potential for a meltdown and that sort of thing is

1423
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 1: much much smaller. We're not going to see five million, sure, nobles.

1424
01:38:07,320 --> 01:38:10,120
Speaker 1: And I believe the future for data centers. I believe

1425
01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:15,120
Speaker 1: the future for pretty much all large scale artificial intelligence

1426
01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:18,479
Speaker 1: and super computing, cloud computing, all of this is going

1427
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:22,479
Speaker 1: to be in small scale nuclear. And I believe that

1428
01:38:22,600 --> 01:38:25,439
Speaker 1: the economy of the future, as Will Martin said, the

1429
01:38:25,439 --> 01:38:28,360
Speaker 1: manufacturing of the future is going to be robotics. That's

1430
01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:31,240
Speaker 1: going to be another massive strain on the power grid.

1431
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:34,800
Speaker 1: That you've got smarter and smarter AI infused robots that

1432
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:36,800
Speaker 1: are doing a whole lot of the jobs that human

1433
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 1: beings are doing. Now, all right, it is time to

1434
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:42,040
Speaker 1: step away from the serious and focus on the silly.

1435
01:38:42,160 --> 01:38:46,240
Speaker 1: When we come back, strangest stories of the past week,

1436
01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:51,000
Speaker 1: it's how bizarre A font is too woke, a Christmas

1437
01:38:51,040 --> 01:38:55,840
Speaker 1: carol is too racist? We'll talk about it all five

1438
01:38:56,320 --> 01:39:00,040
Speaker 1: on a Friday evening. Hope everyone is getting into the

1439
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 1: weekend spirit, and to help with that, we take a

1440
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:05,960
Speaker 1: break from the serious stories and instead focus on the silly,

1441
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 1: the strange, the stuff this week that made us scratch

1442
01:39:08,960 --> 01:39:16,200
Speaker 1: our heads and say to ourselves, hows howz on. Former

1443
01:39:16,479 --> 01:39:22,639
Speaker 1: MSNBC host Joy Reid has shared a video on her

1444
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:28,479
Speaker 1: Instagram claiming that the beloved Christmas anthem jingle Bells was

1445
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 1: quote written to make fun of black people. In the

1446
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:35,960
Speaker 1: video that she shared this week, a man in a

1447
01:39:36,040 --> 01:39:39,960
Speaker 1: Christmas sweater in Santa hat stands on the streets of Medford, Massachusetts,

1448
01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:42,799
Speaker 1: near a plaque that marks the site where James Lord

1449
01:39:42,920 --> 01:39:47,080
Speaker 1: Pierpont is believed to have pen the song in eighteen fifty.

1450
01:39:47,520 --> 01:39:51,800
Speaker 1: He takes off his hat disapprovingly and scowls at the plaque.

1451
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 1: The video caption reading this is where a racist Confederate

1452
01:39:56,280 --> 01:40:00,479
Speaker 1: soldier wrote jingle Bells to make fun of black people,

1453
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:04,320
Speaker 1: and has its origins in bigoted minstrel shows that were

1454
01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:09,680
Speaker 1: popular at the time. The video captions go on to

1455
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 1: claim that Pierpont, whose nephew you know who, James Lord

1456
01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:20,840
Speaker 1: Pierpont's nephew is guarantee you've heard the name JP Morgan yep,

1457
01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:25,200
Speaker 1: absolutely was hard up for cash when he composed the

1458
01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 1: one Horse Open Sleigh, and did so expressly for its

1459
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 1: use in performance in which white actors put on blackface

1460
01:40:31,800 --> 01:40:35,760
Speaker 1: to quote mocking caricature black people trying to participate in

1461
01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:40,640
Speaker 1: winter activities. It alleges that the lyrics laughing all the

1462
01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 1: way in the song likely is a reference to a

1463
01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:51,599
Speaker 1: racist comedic routine of the day known as the laughing Darkie.

1464
01:40:52,840 --> 01:40:56,439
Speaker 1: It most certainly is not. Pierpont patented the song in

1465
01:40:56,479 --> 01:40:59,320
Speaker 1: eighteen fifty nine, changed its name to the familiar jingle

1466
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 1: Bells before the start of the Civil War, at which

1467
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:06,760
Speaker 1: point the video claims he abandoned his family to join

1468
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 1: the Confederate army and wrote Southern fight songs to rouse

1469
01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:20,720
Speaker 1: men defending slavery. No, the origin of the claim that

1470
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:25,200
Speaker 1: the song has racist roots stems from an academic article

1471
01:41:25,240 --> 01:41:27,880
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. This according to The New York Post

1472
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:34,800
Speaker 1: by Boston University professor Kaina Hamil. Now, Hamil has been

1473
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:40,919
Speaker 1: quoted on this and says, no, we should not cancel

1474
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:44,519
Speaker 1: jingle Bells, And in fact, she says she has been

1475
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 1: misquoted for the past eight years, that jingle Bells wasn't

1476
01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:52,360
Speaker 1: expressly written to make fun of black people, but that

1477
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:57,840
Speaker 1: it was actually performed in minstrel shows. So yes, in

1478
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:03,160
Speaker 1: case you were wondering, everything can be racist if you

1479
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:09,880
Speaker 1: are as stupid as joy Reach balzam Talbazon. Secretary of

1480
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:15,759
Speaker 1: State Marco Rubio has officially changed the state department's official

1481
01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:22,080
Speaker 1: font from Calibri to Times New Roman that reverses a

1482
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:26,440
Speaker 1: change made during the Biden administration. Rubio's predecessor, Anthony Blincoln,

1483
01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:30,120
Speaker 1: adopted Calibri two years ago twenty twenty three, saying it

1484
01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:34,719
Speaker 1: was more accessible for people with visual disabilities, but Rubio

1485
01:42:34,880 --> 01:42:37,840
Speaker 1: said this was a wasteful diversity move and that the

1486
01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:42,840
Speaker 1: Times New Roman font was more formal and professional. The

1487
01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:46,880
Speaker 1: New changes went into effect on December tenth, two days ago.

1488
01:42:46,920 --> 01:42:51,880
Speaker 1: They applied to both external and internal documents. Now that's

1489
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 1: not necessarily the strangest thing. Would you believe that lefties

1490
01:42:58,280 --> 01:43:03,160
Speaker 1: are comparing this to you, wait for it, the Nazis.

1491
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:08,600
Speaker 1: A prominent journalist compared Rubio's order for the State Department

1492
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:14,000
Speaker 1: to abandon Calibri to the nazis nineteen forty one ban

1493
01:43:14,240 --> 01:43:19,439
Speaker 1: on Jewish fonts. Steve Herman, the former Bureau Chief White

1494
01:43:19,479 --> 01:43:22,760
Speaker 1: House Bureau chief for Voice of America, reacted to the

1495
01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:27,040
Speaker 1: new directive by comparing it to the Holocaust era Nazi

1496
01:43:27,120 --> 01:43:30,679
Speaker 1: initiative he posted on X. As quoted by Fox News,

1497
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:35,960
Speaker 1: the Nazis in nineteen forty one banned the Fractur font

1498
01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:43,160
Speaker 1: because it was to Jewish on the social media platform Mastodon,

1499
01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:45,719
Speaker 1: which is like Blue Sky, one of the left winger's

1500
01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 1: attempts to replicate X. Herman reaffirmed his comparison to the

1501
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:53,920
Speaker 1: comment section in the comment section of his own post

1502
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:57,680
Speaker 1: about Rubio's font order, confirming he was directly linking the

1503
01:43:57,760 --> 01:44:05,320
Speaker 1: two font initiatives. Just as everything can be racist to

1504
01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:15,680
Speaker 1: the left, everything can be linked to the Naxalbazon Coalmasa Talmazon. Finally,

1505
01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:18,920
Speaker 1: this might be my absolute favorite story of the week.

1506
01:44:18,960 --> 01:44:22,519
Speaker 1: It comes to us from Hartford, Wisconsin Police Department. There

1507
01:44:22,640 --> 01:44:26,840
Speaker 1: say says a woman from Milwaukee pit just about the

1508
01:44:26,920 --> 01:44:31,400
Speaker 1: worst possible time to try stealing from the Walmart in Hartford,

1509
01:44:32,479 --> 01:44:35,400
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the store's hand I can't

1510
01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:37,160
Speaker 1: even get through it, right in the middle of the

1511
01:44:37,200 --> 01:44:41,400
Speaker 1: annual Shop with a Cop event. According to the Hartford

1512
01:44:41,479 --> 01:44:45,840
Speaker 1: Police Department, Sophia Malik was wanted in connection with a

1513
01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:49,280
Speaker 1: felony retail theft that happened days earlier at the Walmart

1514
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:53,320
Speaker 1: on fel Street. This according to Channel twelve, the ABC

1515
01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:56,800
Speaker 1: affiliated Milwaukee, surveillance photos from the Walmart show a woman

1516
01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,439
Speaker 1: walking out of the store pulling a cart overflowing with

1517
01:44:59,520 --> 01:45:02,799
Speaker 1: more than six hundred dollars worth of stolen toys, decor,

1518
01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:06,360
Speaker 1: and clothes on December third. Investigator said Mallick came back

1519
01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:10,320
Speaker 1: to the store Saturday morning, December sixth, while more than

1520
01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:14,760
Speaker 1: a dozen officers were inside taking part in Shop with

1521
01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:17,840
Speaker 1: a Cop, a holiday program that pairs police with local

1522
01:45:17,920 --> 01:45:21,400
Speaker 1: children to pick out Christmas gifts. We were kind of

1523
01:45:21,439 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 1: incredulous that she would come back, considering there probably wasn't

1524
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:27,639
Speaker 1: a corner that you could turn around in the store

1525
01:45:28,040 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 1: and not see a police officer. A Hartford police chief,

1526
01:45:31,200 --> 01:45:35,160
Speaker 1: Scott McFarlane said, I was at the register checking everybody out.

1527
01:45:35,320 --> 01:45:37,480
Speaker 1: I heard over the radio that one of our officers

1528
01:45:37,479 --> 01:45:40,719
Speaker 1: had noticed that a shoplifting suspect from the previous day

1529
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:46,040
Speaker 1: was in the store. McFarlane said officers tracked her down

1530
01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:48,080
Speaker 1: in the store and arrested her out of the view

1531
01:45:48,120 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 1: of the kids at the event. He said, the shop

1532
01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:55,240
Speaker 1: with a cop event continued without interruption, and wouldn't you

1533
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 1: know it, McFarlane said, she had filled the cart again

1534
01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:00,680
Speaker 1: and was ready to push it out. Officers intercepted her

1535
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:05,400
Speaker 1: at the door and made contact with her at that time.

1536
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 1: Washington County District Attorney has charged the twenty four year

1537
01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:15,479
Speaker 1: old Sophia Melock with felony retail theft. According to the

1538
01:46:15,479 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 1: criminal complaints, she told detectives she would have shoplifted again

1539
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:23,280
Speaker 1: on December sixth, but changed her mind upon observing the

1540
01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:29,040
Speaker 1: police presence in the Walmart toy section. Hey, is it

1541
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:33,280
Speaker 1: just me or did that just disprove the left wing

1542
01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:37,880
Speaker 1: notion that police officers don't prevent crimes? This woman said,

1543
01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:40,640
Speaker 1: I was going to shoplift. I saw the cops, I

1544
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:45,439
Speaker 1: thought better of it. Just kidding. She was absolutely going

1545
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:50,320
Speaker 1: to shoplift again. Kudos to the Hartford Police Department for

1546
01:46:50,720 --> 01:46:53,800
Speaker 1: making the arrest. Ladies and gentlemen, this has been your

1547
01:46:53,840 --> 01:46:56,040
Speaker 1: weekly look back here on the Dan O'Donnell Show. Of

1548
01:46:56,040 --> 01:46:58,680
Speaker 1: the stranger stories we could find. It's a segment we

1549
01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:11,040
Speaker 1: call how Bazar Howbazon Josh Vietti with a violin version

1550
01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:15,120
Speaker 1: of the Mariah Carey classic All I Want for Christmas

1551
01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:18,040
Speaker 1: is You. It's a very pretty version of this song.

1552
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:24,799
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show, Welcome back to it. Has anybody screwed

1553
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:30,320
Speaker 1: up his life worse than now? Former Michigan football coach

1554
01:47:30,520 --> 01:47:34,880
Speaker 1: Sharon Moore. I was tempted to do this story in

1555
01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:38,840
Speaker 1: How Bizarre, but it's just it's so sad, it's so tragic.

1556
01:47:39,880 --> 01:47:43,240
Speaker 1: I can't make fun of this guy anymore than the

1557
01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:48,880
Speaker 1: Internet has already done. He was arraigned today and we

1558
01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:52,400
Speaker 1: now have complete details of the actions that led to

1559
01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:57,000
Speaker 1: him and being arrested and jailed just hours after he

1560
01:47:57,120 --> 01:48:01,040
Speaker 1: was fired. On Wednesday, Prosecutors in an Arbor charged him

1561
01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:06,800
Speaker 1: with felony third degree home invasion and two misdemeanors stalking

1562
01:48:06,920 --> 01:48:10,920
Speaker 1: in a domestic relationship and breaking an entering. Moore was

1563
01:48:10,960 --> 01:48:14,479
Speaker 1: released from jail today after meeting the twenty five thousand

1564
01:48:14,600 --> 01:48:21,639
Speaker 1: dollars bond. Prosecutors say that Moore forced his way into

1565
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:26,439
Speaker 1: the home of the female staff member who he was

1566
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:30,600
Speaker 1: having an affair with, and said, I'm going to kill myself.

1567
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:33,559
Speaker 1: I'm going to make you watch. My blood is on

1568
01:48:33,720 --> 01:48:43,280
Speaker 1: your hands. You ruined my life. Yikes. According to an

1569
01:48:43,360 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 1: assistant prosecutor by the name of Katie Resmirski, Moore barged

1570
01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:53,360
Speaker 1: his way into the woman's apartment, went to a drawer

1571
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:57,160
Speaker 1: in the kitchen and grabbed several butter knifes and a

1572
01:48:57,240 --> 01:49:02,320
Speaker 1: pair of scissors before threatening to take his own life.

1573
01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:05,400
Speaker 1: That would have taken a long time with a butter knife,

1574
01:49:05,520 --> 01:49:09,160
Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way. Prosecutor detailed. More was

1575
01:49:09,520 --> 01:49:12,720
Speaker 1: in an intimate relationship with the woman he worked with

1576
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:17,080
Speaker 1: for a number of years before she ended the relationship

1577
01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:20,960
Speaker 1: on Monday. This from ESPN dot com. The split prompted

1578
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:24,120
Speaker 1: a flurry of calls and texts from More that the

1579
01:49:24,200 --> 01:49:27,920
Speaker 1: woman did not return. More is married to another woman

1580
01:49:27,960 --> 01:49:30,599
Speaker 1: and they have three children. More's actions in the wake

1581
01:49:30,680 --> 01:49:34,519
Speaker 1: of his former lover breaking up with him led her

1582
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:38,480
Speaker 1: to go to officials at Michigan and detail their relationship.

1583
01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:43,080
Speaker 1: The school had previously investigated a tip about this situation

1584
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:47,040
Speaker 1: sources of toold ESPN, but could not prove it occurred.

1585
01:49:47,600 --> 01:49:51,240
Speaker 1: The woman's admission and supporting evidence led the school to

1586
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:55,439
Speaker 1: quickly dismiss More for cause, saying he violated both his

1587
01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:59,519
Speaker 1: contract and university policy. Michigan will not have to pay

1588
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:03,160
Speaker 1: More the nearly twelve point three million dollars remaining on

1589
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:05,719
Speaker 1: his deal because he was fired for clause. The women

1590
01:50:05,800 --> 01:50:13,560
Speaker 1: called police after More barged into her apartment. My goodness,

1591
01:50:14,840 --> 01:50:17,840
Speaker 1: More had undergone a mental health evaluation, according to his

1592
01:50:17,880 --> 01:50:24,720
Speaker 1: defense attorney, and he has not outlined where he was

1593
01:50:24,720 --> 01:50:29,519
Speaker 1: going to stay upon his release, hopefully not with the

1594
01:50:29,560 --> 01:50:40,120
Speaker 1: wife and kids. I just wow, wow, wow. I guess

1595
01:50:40,160 --> 01:50:42,920
Speaker 1: I do not understand. No, I do, I do. I

1596
01:50:42,960 --> 01:50:46,960
Speaker 1: take that back, I do. Men in positions of power

1597
01:50:47,160 --> 01:50:53,000
Speaker 1: have a tendency to believe that they can do anything,

1598
01:50:54,040 --> 01:51:00,840
Speaker 1: get anything anyone, And quite frankly, I don't know if

1599
01:51:00,880 --> 01:51:04,439
Speaker 1: I'm allowed to say this. Producer Eric Ah, what the heck.

1600
01:51:04,520 --> 01:51:06,560
Speaker 1: It's the end of a show on a Friday afternoon.

1601
01:51:06,800 --> 01:51:10,320
Speaker 1: Let's just say they're thinking with the wrong head, if

1602
01:51:10,400 --> 01:51:16,400
Speaker 1: you catch my drift. The fact that he would throw

1603
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:20,160
Speaker 1: away his life and he is never going to get

1604
01:51:20,200 --> 01:51:24,200
Speaker 1: a head coaching job again. He probably is never going

1605
01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:27,719
Speaker 1: to get a college coaching job, professional coaching, No, who knows.

1606
01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:33,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I shouldn't say never. But the perpetual embarrassment

1607
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:36,559
Speaker 1: for those I believe he has three little daughters, for

1608
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:40,400
Speaker 1: those girls that their dad. I mean, whenever you google

1609
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 1: it's not like his name is John Smith. Whenever you

1610
01:51:44,400 --> 01:51:47,439
Speaker 1: google the name Sharon Moore, what do you think is

1611
01:51:47,479 --> 01:51:50,639
Speaker 1: going to be the very first thing that pops up?

1612
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:54,760
Speaker 1: And I mean, had the relationship just and had he

1613
01:51:54,840 --> 01:51:58,880
Speaker 1: been able to just let it go, he would have

1614
01:51:59,040 --> 01:52:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, no no harm, no foul. He probably would

1615
01:52:01,960 --> 01:52:04,760
Speaker 1: have gone right on cheating with another woman. And now

1616
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:07,120
Speaker 1: women are coming out of the woodwork to say they

1617
01:52:07,240 --> 01:52:14,559
Speaker 1: too had inappropriate relationships with coach Moore. My favorite meme

1618
01:52:14,720 --> 01:52:18,960
Speaker 1: has got to be it's Jim Harbaugh, the former coach

1619
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:22,880
Speaker 1: at Michigan. Now he's with the Los Angeles Chargers. He said, hey,

1620
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:28,799
Speaker 1: coach Moore, Yeah, Jim wrong cheating a reference, of course,

1621
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:34,240
Speaker 1: to the scandal that engulfed Jim Harbaugh's tenure at the

1622
01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:39,760
Speaker 1: University of Michigan. You know, folks, this is this is

1623
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:42,360
Speaker 1: not what I'm going to laugh at because there are

1624
01:52:42,439 --> 01:52:47,360
Speaker 1: kids involved. There's his poor wife who is just thoroughly

1625
01:52:47,520 --> 01:52:53,920
Speaker 1: humiliated by this. Guys, stick with your wives, Please be faithful.

1626
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:59,520
Speaker 1: Just don't throw it all away for the executive assistant,

1627
01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:03,719
Speaker 1: no matter how much she might make those flirty eyes

1628
01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:06,160
Speaker 1: at you. All right, have a wonderful weekend, everybody. We

1629
01:53:06,200 --> 01:53:09,160
Speaker 1: are back Monday afternoon, three o six right here on

1630
01:53:09,200 --> 01:53:10,800
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show. Stay warm,
