In the National Weather Service says today the 20 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: snow will start here Saturday, evening and not stop until 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: Monday morning. The heaviest of it will fall throughout the 22 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: midday hours of the day. On Sunday, Milwaukee police shooting 23 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: and killing a suspect to hopped in a car and 24 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: drag them along the street near fifteenth and Grant while 25 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: trying to escape. Sources tell me the officers were with 26 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: a probation and parole squad and we're attempting to bring 27 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: the suspect in for a violation when he tried to 28 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: take off, dragging at least one of those officers. As 29 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: I said, A suspected terror attack at a synagogue in 30 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: West Bloomfield, Michigan this afternoon. Fortunately, nobody except the gunman 31 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: appears to have been injured. Law enforcement there says a 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: man drove a vehicle into the building then started shooting. 33 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: He's believed to be dead. No one else hurt, at 34 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: least not seriously. More on that coming up in second 35 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: then coming up at four o'clock. Senate Majority Leader John 36 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: Thune confirms today he is going to bring the Save 37 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: America Act for a vote next week. 38 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: I will be bringing the Save America Act to the 39 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: floor and we will be having a full and robust debate. 40 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, though, the bill is absolutely going to be filibustered 41 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: unless we get philibuster reform along with that Save America 42 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: Act debate. We will get into it during the Daily 43 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: Trump Date in the four o'clock hour then at four fifteen. 44 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: The Republican Senate Caucus remains deeply divided on the online 45 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: sports betting bill. I've got some exclusive new information I 46 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: will share about one hour from now West Bloomfield, Michigan, 47 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: a security guard is apparently recovering from only minor injuries 48 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: after it was struck by a car that the suspect 49 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: who intentionally rammed into this synagogue there hit him, with 50 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: Oakland County Shriff Michael Bouchar just about an hour ago 51 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: providing it up here. 52 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,839 Speaker 3: Well, we know so far. 53 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 4: A car came to the facility, breached the facility by 54 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 4: driving into it, was engaged by security. We believe there 55 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 4: is one individual deceased in the vehicle. It's been complicated 56 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 4: because there was some. 57 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 3: Fire, to say the. 58 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 4: Least with that vehicle. We believe that individual is deceased. 59 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 4: No kids, this is the important thing. No kids or 60 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 4: no staff was injured whatsoever. Okay, so we have no 61 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: victims other than one of the lead security people was 62 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 4: hit by the car and was taken to the hospital 63 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 4: for treatment. 64 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 3: That individual should be okay. Now. 65 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: This happened at the Temple Israel synagogue as well as 66 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: a Jewish day school that is attached to that synagogue. 67 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: The shooter is believed to be dead, but it is 68 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: unclear because the body was so badly burned. When the 69 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: car went up in flames, it is believed that there 70 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: were high powered explosives inside that vehicle. This is being 71 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: investigated as a potential incident of international terrorism or potentially 72 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: an Iranian sleeper sell something like that, because it comes 73 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: on the exact same day that there was a deadly 74 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: shooting that is in fact connected to international terrorism at 75 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. One student was killed, 76 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: two people were injured. The shooter then turned the gun 77 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: on himself. This prompted a campus lockdown that was lifted 78 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: after about two hours, and the suspect has now been 79 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: identified as Mohammed Jallo. He's a former Army National Guard 80 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: member who is convicted years ago of providing material support 81 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: to ISIS. He served a number of years in prison, 82 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: I believe eleven years in prison. He's a naturalized citizen 83 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: from Sierra Leoni, had communicated online with an undercover FBI 84 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: agent po as an ISIS recruiter before his arrest. This 85 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: highlights ongoing concerns over post release monitoring of terrorism convicts. 86 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 1: And there have been huge increases in anti Semitic attacks, 87 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: like the one we very clearly saw in Michigan just 88 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: a couple of hours ago. They surged after the October 89 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: seventh Homos attacks on Israel. According to the Anti Defamation League, 90 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: they did a huge audit of all anti Semitic incidents, 91 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: the most comprehensive tracker that's been done since nineteen seventy nine. 92 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: There was, of course, a huge spike in anti Semitic 93 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: incidents after the Iranian Revolution in twenty twenty two, the 94 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: last full year before the October seventh attacks. In October 95 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three, there were about thirty seven hundred 96 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: anti Semitic incidents. Now, this could include harassment, this could 97 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: include graffitiing, this could include outright assaults or other attacks. 98 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: For the full year of twenty twenty three, there were 99 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: eighty eight hundred anti Semitic incidents, the highest increase year 100 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: over year ever. Recorded one hundred and forty percent increase. 101 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: There were seventy five hundred incidents after October seventh, more 102 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: than all of twenty twenty two for the full year. 103 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,119 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, anti Semitic incidents increased even further 104 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: nine thousand, three hundred and fifty four. Now this is 105 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: the most recent year for which the Anti Defamation League 106 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: has kept full year data. It's the highest single year 107 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: for anti Semitic incidents in the forty six year history 108 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: of the ad L, A three hundred forty four percent 109 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: increase over the past five years in anti Semitic incidents 110 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: over the past ten years, a nearly nine hundred percent increase. 111 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: What is abundantly clear is that quite frankly, Jewish people 112 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: in this country are not safe, and they haven't been 113 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: since October seventh, when, by the way, Jewish people in 114 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: Israel were the victims of this single worst hate crime 115 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: against them, the single worst loss of life of Jewish 116 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: people since the Holocaust. It was a truly stomach turning crime. 117 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: And almost immediately this will stick with me for all 118 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: of my days. Almost immediately in New York City and 119 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: even here in Wisconsin on the campus of UW. 120 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 5: Madison. 121 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: Almost immediately there were celebrations. Not on the West Bank, 122 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,239 Speaker 1: not in the Iyatola's Iran, but here in the United States. 123 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: There were celebrations. Of course, they were positive to be 124 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: rallies in support to the Palestinian people and warning Israel 125 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: about an outsized military response. The first rally took place 126 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: October eighth, Sunday, October eighth in New York City. Muslim 127 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: Americans and a few unhinged white leftists rallied, and the 128 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: tone of the rally was celebratory. They were celebrating the 129 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: death of innocent young people who were killed at a 130 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: music festival the day before, and innocent senior citizens, innocent children, 131 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: innocent men and women who were living in a nearby settlement, 132 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Anti Semitism and the specter of terrorism 133 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: in America, especially targeting Jewish Americans, is a very, very 134 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: real problem, and as with most problems, it was exacerbated 135 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: by the Biden administration open borders. In August of twenty 136 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: twenty four, the House Judiciary Committee determined that more than 137 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: two hundred fifty people who are on international terrorism watch 138 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: lists were encountered at the Southwest border between fiscal years 139 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three. Of those, the 140 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: Biden administration released ninety nine into American communities. Later that year, 141 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: House Homeland Security Committee finds three hundred ninety four illegal 142 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: aliens were on the terrorist watch list who are apprehended 143 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: between ports of entry at the Southwest and Northern borders 144 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,479 Speaker 1: over the past three years. This was data that included 145 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: fiscal year twenty twenty four. So in the four years 146 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration, you had three hundred ninety four 147 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: illegal aliens who appeared on terrorist watch lists, and according 148 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: to the Judiciary Committee, ninety nine were released into communities 149 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: in the United States. Not only that, this past November, 150 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: Joe Kent, the head of the National Center for Terrorism, 151 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: found that remember when we just kind of took in 152 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand Afghans and we were taking in refugees 153 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 1: from across the Middle East, well, by the nctc's accounting, 154 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: we let in roughly eighteen thousand suspected terrorists. 155 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 6: N CCC has been crunching the numbers and going through 156 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 6: the sheer volume of known and suspected terrorists that are 157 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 6: in the country that came in under the Biden administration. 158 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 6: So far, NCTC has identified around eighteen thousand known and 159 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 6: suspected terrorists that the Biden administration let come into our country. 160 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 6: These are individuals who, under normal circumstances would never be 161 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 6: allowed to enter our country because their ties to jihadi 162 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 6: groups like ISIS and al Qaida. Yet the Biden administration 163 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 6: not only let them into the country and in many 164 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 6: cases facilitated their entry into the country. 165 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: So we have no idea, frankly, just how many people 166 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: were let into the country. The NCTC, the National counter 167 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: Terrorism Center, estimates it at about eighteen thousand. And they're 168 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: going with the Afghan nationals who were allowed in after 169 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: that disastrous withdrawal from the war in Afghanistan where people 170 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: were just kind of being shuttled onto planes willy nilly, 171 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: and the Biden administration was telling us, yes, yes, yes, 172 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: we have properly vetted all of these people. It's called 173 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: Operation Allies Welcome. Well, it turns out thousands of those 174 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: people were never actually allies to begin with and should 175 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: have never been allowed into this country. Not only that, 176 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: because we had open borders for four straight years, and 177 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: because anywhere between ten and fifteen million people we think 178 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 1: entered this country illegally. We have absolutely no idea how 179 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: many people were coming in from terrorist hotspots in the 180 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: Middle East, in Africa, even in South and Central America. 181 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 5: Anyone could have come. 182 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: In for a four year period until President Trump thankfully 183 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: got into office and immediately closed down the southern border 184 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: and made it impossible for anybody to get in at 185 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: any sort of port of entry. It was open season. 186 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: Anybody could get into this country. And just like after 187 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: October seventh where we saw this massive spike in anti 188 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: Semitic attacks and anti Semitic incidents, we are also expecting now, 189 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: as a result of the attack on Iran and the 190 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: killing of the Ayatola and the taking out of the 191 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: Ayatola and the Mullah's terrorist regime, that we are likely 192 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: to face these sorts of lone wolf retaliatory attacks. 193 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 5: When we hear the. 194 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: Word sleeper cell, that Iran has sleeper cells here in 195 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: the United States because of Hollywood, to mind this idea 196 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: that you've got, you know, Jack Reacher trying to fight 197 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: all of these little splinter groups that are all over 198 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: the country. These aren't very highly organized things. In fact, 199 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: oftentimes it's just some guy who is a terrorist sympathizer 200 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: who gets it in his head that today he's going 201 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: to go arm himself to the teeth. He's going to 202 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: load up his car with explosives, and he's going to 203 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: drive into the middle of a synagogue. This has always 204 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: been the gravest terroristic threat that the United States has faced. 205 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 1: In the years after nine to eleven. It was a 206 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: minor miracle, actually, I don't even think it's a minor miracle, 207 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 1: as a flat out miracle that the United States did 208 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: not face any of these smaller scale attacks. The thing 209 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: that I was scared of for years, for the early 210 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: part of the New millennium, was that you would just 211 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: have somebody who came in at some point into this country, 212 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: or someone maybe who was born here but shared that 213 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: Islamist radical ideology, would simply grab a high powered gun, 214 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: or would simply grab a bunch of explosives or something 215 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: like that, walk into the middle of a crowded shopping 216 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: center and blow himself up or just start shooting what 217 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: lo and behold. During the Obama administration that started happening. 218 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: The San Bernardino terror attack was one of the first incidents. 219 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: Of course, you had the Boston marathon bombing. That was 220 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: another infamous example, and we have had more and more 221 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: of these lone wolf style attacks, so too has Europe. 222 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: It seems as though we forgot here in the West 223 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: that the war on terror never really ended. We may 224 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: have declared victory and we may have pulled out in 225 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: Iraq and Afghanistan, but the war is not with a 226 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: nation state. 227 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 5: It never was. 228 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: The war was always with an ideology. And now that 229 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: we're in the era of extreme political correctness where you 230 00:14:55,680 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: can't even say that there is a very significant problem 231 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: that Islam has with terrorism, with violence, and with having 232 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: no compunction about taking human life or injuring other human 233 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: beings to advance a religious or socio political goal. You 234 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: are going to continue to have these sorts of attacks. 235 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: So long as there are people who are whipped into 236 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: a frenzy by anything going on in the Middle East 237 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: or anything going on in the news, and so long 238 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: as there is this deep hatred of America. You are 239 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: listening to the Dan o'donald Show. It is classical conservatism 240 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: and contemporary style, all Celtic punk, bunk per music here 241 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: on the Dan o'donald Show. From now until Saint Patrick's 242 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: day on Tuesday, Top of the afternoon. To you all, 243 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: it is not just Islamist terrorism that we have to 244 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: worry about here in the United States. The sad reality 245 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: is that we face this significant threat from left wing 246 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: radical terrorism, the likes of which we really haven't seen 247 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: since the late nineteen sixties early nineteen seventies. With the 248 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: Weather Underground featuring a couple of Barack Obama's old buddies. 249 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: Well now we saw in Minneapolis a couple of months 250 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: ago just what left wing radicals are capable of. And 251 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: even here in Wisconsin, we're a man by the name 252 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: of Andrew Stanton, who you might remember if you've been 253 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: listening to this show for quite some time. We highlighted 254 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: back in October for making just truly deranged statements about 255 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: ICE agents. He's from Kenosha, and he has been convicted 256 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: now of threatening to murder a Border Patrol officer who 257 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: is serving on the Federal Bureau of Investigations Joint Task Force. 258 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 5: Stanton pleaded guilty. 259 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: So this started when he began making just truly unhinged 260 00:16:54,280 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: threats on twit TikTok. He said he was going to 261 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: kill ICE agents and quote loot their corpses. 262 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 7: When y'all's bodies lay motionless on the ground, Ice patch 263 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 7: pacing up at the sky. 264 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 5: We're gonna loot your corpses. And I can't wait to 265 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 5: see those videos. 266 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: I do appreciate him using hooked on a feeling as 267 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: the background music for a truly deranged video. He didn't 268 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: stop there, He said he wants anyone if you see 269 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: anyone being arrested by ICE, grab a baseball bat and 270 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: start beating the agent. 271 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 7: Someone has the balls to swing on an ICE agent 272 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 7: or pull out that poll. You can help with them. 273 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 7: And I'm not talking about helping ICE, make sure that 274 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 7: person gets away. 275 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: Not only that, of course, he used the old left 276 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: wing stand by the only good cop is a dead cop. 277 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 7: At the end of the day, a good cop is 278 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 7: a dead cop. 279 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: A so members of the FBI ask for us wanted 280 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: to go interview the guy now. This prompted him to 281 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: post additional calls for violence on his TikTok channel, including 282 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: a specific threat to the CBP officer had reached out 283 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: to him October fourth. This from a press release from 284 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: the Eastern District of Wisconsin, where Stanton pleaded guilty. He 285 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: posted a video to TikTok, in which he stated, what 286 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: the bleep are we even talking about here? If ICE 287 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: shows up in your neighborhood, I'm sorry, I'm just gonna 288 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: say it, it's time to bleeping shooting. To start bleeping 289 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 1: shooting them. If they show up in your neighborhood and 290 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: I'm talking to you, Border Patrol Officer Joe, it's time 291 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 1: we start shooting at y'all. Now, this is where this 292 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: goes from just a vague general threat, which bizarrely theoretically 293 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: could be just First Amendment hyperbolic language that could be 294 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: protected speech. Even saying something as terrible as yes, I 295 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: believe we should kill all ICE agents, that is protected 296 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: by the First Amendment. It is not a specific threat. 297 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: This was Border Patrol Officer Joe was apparently the guy 298 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: on the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force who contacted Andrew Stanton. 299 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: He said, look, this goes for you, Border Patrol Officer Joe. 300 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: It's time we start shooting at y'all. That is a 301 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: specific threat to a specific person. He apparently Stanton did 302 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: apparently repeatedly also posted images of weapons and body armor 303 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: on TikTok, along with additional violent messages. Stanton's videos, including 304 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: his threat to the CBP officer, were viewed hundreds of 305 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: thousands of times on TikTok. Now a part of this 306 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: is because this reached the libs of TikTok account. That's 307 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: where we found it. I believe we named this guy 308 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 1: our unhinged liberal of the day, if I remember correctly, 309 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: we might have even done a separate, standalone segment on 310 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: him because this, this is just so violent, This is 311 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 1: just so completely unhinged that it bore further examination. Eastern 312 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: District of Wisconsin says Stanton. Sentencing is scheduled for June eighteenth, 313 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. He faces a term of imprisonment of 314 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: up to ten years, up to a quarter of a 315 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: million dollars in fines, and up to three years of 316 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: supervised release. Now, what makes this a little bit scarier 317 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: is the fact that when you heard this stuff, it 318 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 1: was off putting, it was jarring. But was this really 319 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: all that out there from the rhetoric that you hear 320 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: on a relatively daily basis. When the radical left gets 321 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: all you know, they get there, you know what's in 322 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: a tizzy. When ice agents are conducting surges or any 323 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: sort of op you will hear just the most vile, 324 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: disgusting things. I mean, for six months now. On March tenth, 325 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: we marked six months since Charlie Kirk's assassination. How many 326 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: times did we hear leftists say I'm glad Charlie is dead? 327 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: How many times did we see graffiti pop up of 328 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk with a bullet hole in his neck and 329 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: blood spurting out of it? We hear just the most insane, 330 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: unhinged things, and that, of course, the exact same lefties 331 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: pretend to retire to the fainting couches the second any 332 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: conservative says anything that they perceive to be slightly out 333 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: of line. Folks, we hear the vilest, most awful things 334 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: on a near constant basis. And I am glad that 335 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: this sort of thing is finally being taken seriously for 336 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: what it is, and that is what it's a specific 337 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: terroristic threat that it is in fact dealt with as 338 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: a specific terroristic threat.

Just give it a 345 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: search and we will have some fun together. 346 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 5: On Saint Patrick's Day. The wearin of the Green. 347 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,239 Speaker 1: You might have seen the headlines about a week or 348 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: so ago a US citizen stopped at O'Hare detained by 349 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: immigration officers for more than a day. The headline in 350 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 1: the Chicago Sun Times US citizen from Skokie stopped at 351 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: O'Hare detained by immigration officials for nearly thirty hours. Sunned 352 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: US Knackvie and five others were detained at O'Hare International 353 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 1: Airport by federal immigration agents and taken to a holding 354 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: facility in Wisconsin. Nacvie is a twenty eight year old. 355 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: She is a US citizen. She is in this country legally. 356 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: She is an American, but she was abused by those 357 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: evil immigration agents. Turns out it was not true, and 358 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: that holding facility in Wisconsin was the Dodge County Jail. 359 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: Now Knackvie said she and five of her co workers 360 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: were detained for It was either forty eight hours or 361 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: thirty hours. I saw both accounts in the media coverage 362 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: of this. This happened on March fifth. They were not 363 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: released until March seventh. She said they were held at O'Hare. 364 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: Then they were determined to be in this country illegally, 365 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: transferred to the View Ice Facility in the suburbs of Chicago, 366 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: and then later moved to the Dodge County Jail. Well 367 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: almost immediately, Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt said, uh no, 368 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: we didn't just not take in Sunny knockfee at our 369 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: five coworkers. We didn't take in any female inmates or 370 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: detainees from the federal government. Here's the official statement. The 371 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: Dodge County Sheriff's office has no record of the individual 372 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: reference ever being booked, detained, or released from the Dodge 373 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 1: County Jail. Jail logs confirmed that no female inmates or 374 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: detainees from the federal government were admitted or released during 375 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 1: the timeframe in which these events were alleged to have occurred. 376 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: Now that was posted on the Dodge County Sheriff's Facebook 377 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: page on March tenth, so two days ago. The Department 378 00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security has now responded. Here is the official timeline, 379 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: as backed up by timestamped photos and even video from 380 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: O'Hare International Airport. Knackvi arrived at ten twenty one am 381 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: March fifth. She goes through the primary inspection and then 382 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: was referred to a secondary inspection. And sometimes you get this, 383 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: it's pretty routine. It's based on a law enforcement check that, okay, 384 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: you've got to do a secondary expansion inspection. You have 385 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: your baggage search, that sort of thing. She then departs 386 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: the CBP Border Patrol inspection area of her own volition 387 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: within ninety minutes at eleven forty three am. She can 388 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: be seen on security video as well as time stamped 389 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: security photos, walking out of the airport, never taken into custody, 390 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: never transferred to ICE, never moved to Broadview, never taken 391 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: to the Dodge County jail. Not only this, Notkvia is 392 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: a prior criminal history. And guess what she pleaded guilty 393 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: to in twenty twenty two, filing a false police report 394 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: from a twenty nineteen sexual assault case. She completed probation, 395 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: the case was dismissed. But she's got a history of 396 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: lying about this stuff. But it doesn't matter because when 397 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: you tell a story that casts the federal government, especially CBP, 398 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: especially ICE, especially any sort of immigration enforcement, as the 399 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: bad guy, it's sort of like catnip to the press. Now, meanwhile, 400 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 1: you have almost instantly the federal government coming out and saying, look, 401 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: this just does not ring true. Of course, the Chicago 402 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: Sun Time pretty much all Chicago media went national. 403 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 5: A couple of national outlets picked this up. 404 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: They all said, uh, yeah, this, this sounds totally believable. 405 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: Dodge County sheriff, within three days of this supposedly happening, says, 406 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: uh yeah, So no, this part of her story is wrong. 407 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: This part of her story is just a complete fabrication. 408 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: And now we've actually got the video and photos. You know, 409 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: when people call the press the enemy of the people, 410 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: this is the sort of stuff that they're talking about 411 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: when you literally can't believe whether a story is actually true. 412 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: Let's just go through some of these Google headlines. Here, 413 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: controversial ice detention. People don't just show up at an 414 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: ICE facility, major row over Sonny Knackvi's detention. None of 415 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: this made any sense. When she first started telling this story. 416 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: Anyone with half a journalistic instinct could say, well, here 417 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: something doesn't really add up. So she lives in Skokee, 418 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: but yet she's transferred to the Dodge County Jail in Wisconsin, 419 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: and Dodge County is not super close to Chicago's O'Hare 420 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: International Airport. As soon as that detail was added, my 421 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: Jesse Smolett radar went way up. Why didn't the rest 422 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: of the media. It's because of what's known as confirmation bias. 423 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: I talk about this often here on The Dan O'Donnell Show. 424 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 1: It is the part of our brain that actively seeks 425 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: out information that comports and confirms our worldview. In other words, 426 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: we really really like being right. As human beings, who 427 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: doesn't like being right? We actually have a process our 428 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: brains go through called cognitive dissonance where we actively reject 429 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: information that sort of causes us to question our preconceived worldview. 430 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: It causes us some manner of discomforts known as cognitive dissonance, 431 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: and confirmation bias means that we are going to sift 432 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: through information and we are going to, because of cognitive dissonance, 433 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: reject the information that sort of contradicts our prior held 434 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: beliefs and only accept the information that confirms our beliefs. 435 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: When journalists are subject and everybody's subject to confirmation bias. 436 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here on high and say, well, 437 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: I'm not subject to it, but because I'm aware of it, 438 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: I am always going to sift there. I must get 439 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: dozens and dozens and dozens of news tips a day. 440 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: People reach out, they say, Dan, you won't believe what 441 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: have a Dan massive scandal. Now, obviously, as a news guy, 442 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: my confirmation bias would say, yes, every single thing that 443 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: I am being told is the absolute truth, that this 444 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: is going to be the single biggest scandal, that this 445 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: is going to take down whatever politician that the person 446 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: who is giving me the tip wants to be taken down. 447 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: I would naturally have a bias towards that because it 448 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: would benefit me to break a big story. Also, I 449 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: just genuinely enjoy doing this sort of stuff. Do you 450 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: know how many tips that I actually use and go 451 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: through and are properly vetted. It is very small. It 452 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: is probably a percentage, and I'd say about thirty percent. 453 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: And I would say about six to seventy percent of 454 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: the tips I get are not nearly as sensational as 455 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: the people who give me the tips are, and that's 456 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: not to say that my sources are you know, sensationalists, 457 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: but everybody thinks whatever it is that's happening to them 458 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: is the worst deal of all time. 459 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 5: Now imagine. 460 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: If on this show you didn't get the truth, but 461 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: you got a version of it. I am convinced. I 462 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 1: know of no studies that confirm this, but just my 463 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: own personal experience. Liberals are way more susceptible to confirmation bias. 464 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: They are way more bothered by cognitive dissonance, primarily because 465 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: actual information and actual truth is very often in direct 466 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: opposition to liberals previously held beliefs. I mean, you've got 467 00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 1: the entire human existence to disprove socialism as a valid 468 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: economic theory, yet they still. 469 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 5: Go back to that. 470 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 1: Well, so it's no surprise all of these reporters and 471 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: all of these activists taking on the Sonny knock the 472 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: case were fooled by her or believed that somehow this 473 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: was evil Ice agents. Because what have we been told 474 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 1: by the media, What has the narrative been since the 475 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: start of the Trump administration, and especially after the situation 476 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis at the start of this year, that ICE 477 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: agents and border patrol and pretty much every immigration authority 478 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: is locking up innocent American citizens that they're not going 479 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: after criminals, but they're going after innocent women like Sonny KNOCKVI. Again, 480 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: this was catnip for the press to get this anti Trump, 481 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: anti Ice, anti CBP, anti immigration enforcement narrative out there. 482 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: When people run with that sort of narrative without ever 483 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: really vetting the story to make sure it's true, that's 484 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: where you get in a real dangerous situation where fake 485 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: news actually is disseminated by supposedly legitimate outlets like the 486 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: Chicago Sun Times. Coming up at the four o'clock hour 487 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: here on the Dan o'donald's show, I've got exclusive new 488 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: information about the debate over the online sports betting bill. 489 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,239 Speaker 1: There are serious, and I mean serious divisions within the 490 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: Republican Caucus that could prevent this bill from ever going 491 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 1: to the floor for a full vote in the Senate. 492 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: You might remember that it did pass, I believe, via 493 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: a voice vote in the Wisconsin Assembly. But the Senate, 494 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: which has already expressed some doubt about its ability to 495 00:33:55,120 --> 00:34:00,080 Speaker 1: pass this week the nil bill, particularly the poor or 496 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: of it that would allow UW. Madison to just sort 497 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: of get nearly fifteen million dollars free and clear from 498 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,680 Speaker 1: the state legislature from state taxpayers every single year for 499 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: facilities maintenance. And the express purpose of this would be 500 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: to free up some of this revenue so that UW Madison, 501 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:24,280 Speaker 1: which is the only high major public university D one program. Yes, UWM, 502 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,280 Speaker 1: especially with its basketball team, UW Green Bay basketball program 503 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: both also D one, but UW Madison in particular is 504 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: bidding on very very high level transfers, especially in football, 505 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,319 Speaker 1: and they need to get them with nil money. So 506 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: Senate Majority Leader Devin lemahughes idea was, well, why don't 507 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: we just give these nil athletes taxpayer money or at 508 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: least free up money that UW Madison can use by 509 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,439 Speaker 1: because I think it was just a little untoward to say, yeah, 510 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: we're good to get we give taxpayer money. We're going 511 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: to give money from you know, plumbers and brick layers 512 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: to running backs who are going to make millions of 513 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: dollars in the NFL, and we want to pay them 514 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,240 Speaker 1: millions of dollars to go to college at UW Madison. 515 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: So the idea was that we free up money that 516 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: would otherwise go to ongoing facilities maintenance like at Camp 517 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: Randall Stadium or the Coal Center or the Nadatorium or 518 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: any of the other athletic facilities that UW. Madison owns 519 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: and operates that need continual maintenance. We're just going to 520 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: give you that money from the legislature instead of it 521 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: having to come out of your operational budget. Air go 522 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: more of your operational budget, more of your revenue that's 523 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: generated through ticket sales and merchandise and things like that, 524 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: more of that can actually go to signing essentially free 525 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: agent athletes. I can't tell you how much I oppose 526 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: this idea, and it does appear that a number of 527 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: state senators do as well. Three Republicans defected from the 528 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,919 Speaker 1: Joint Finance Committee's vote, which did pass this eight to five. 529 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: We will dive into why the divisions are even deeper 530 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: on the online sports betting bill and why this is 531 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: just frankly a bad bill that needs to die right now. 532 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 1: Though the unhinged liberal of the dead we are in 533 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: pre Nazi Germany. 534 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 5: Cop is dangerous because he's evil. 535 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 3: America. 536 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: Today's unhinged liberal of the day is Andrew Stanton, thirty 537 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 1: eight year old from Kenosha, who posted deeply disturbing TikTok 538 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: videos in which he threatened ICE agents and other members 539 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: of law enforcement. 540 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 5: At the end of the day, a good cop is 541 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 5: a dead cock. 542 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: Well in, the FBI showed up and said, hey, you 543 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: should probably stop posting stuff like that. He posted another 544 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: video specifically threatening the CBP officer on the FBI's Joint 545 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: Terrorism Task Force who contacted him. Yep, he was arrested, 546 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,240 Speaker 1: he was criminally charged, and now he has pleaded guilty 547 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: and faces ten years in prison as a maximum sentence, 548 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: plus two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in fines when 549 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:30,720 Speaker 1: he is sentenced in June. Andrew Stanton is your unhinged 550 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: liberal of the day, and just the casual nature with 551 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: which he kind of says the most vile things imaginable 552 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 1: is really, frankly quite disturbing. Coming up next Daily Trump 553 00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 1: Day right here on the Dan O'Donnell show, Fox News 554 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: report of Bill Malugen is reporting that the car that 555 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: was used to ram into a synagogue today in where 556 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: was it, Wes Broomfield in Michigan was registered to a 557 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: naturalized citizen from Lebanon. Now we don't know if that 558 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 1: was the man who actually did ram the car into 559 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: the synagogue. We think that the car was loaded with 560 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: explosives because it blew up very very quickly afterwards, and 561 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 1: the suspect got out and tried to start shooting people. 562 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 1: The security guard, who was struck by the vehicle but 563 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: not seriously injured, taken to the hospital mostly as a precaution, 564 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: engaged the suspect and shot and killed him. We don't 565 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 1: know if that is the guy who the car is 566 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: registered to, but it's a pretty solid guess that that 567 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: is likely going to be the suspect. Just in the 568 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,879 Speaker 1: month of March, folks, it is March twelfth, a guy 569 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: wearing a shirt saying property of a law shot up 570 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: a bar in Austin, killing several people. This was the 571 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: night after the Iran attack was first launched. There were 572 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:11,000 Speaker 1: some anti Islam protesters in New York City outside Gracie Mansion. 573 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 1: Two teenagers through IEDs into the crowd. Thankfully, two heroic 574 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: New York police officers made sure that those two suspects 575 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: were taken down and that the IEDs didn't blow up. 576 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: Now we've seen today an attack on that synagogue in Michigan, 577 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:35,359 Speaker 1: and an Isis supporting convict shoots up an ROTC classroom 578 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. This is all 579 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,879 Speaker 1: within the last twelve days. Hell, this was all within 580 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: the last what six days? No, twelve days, I guess, yeah, 581 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: it would be twelve days. The Austin attack was I 582 00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 1: guess tech No, I guess it was technically March first. 583 00:39:52,800 --> 00:40:00,720 Speaker 1: It was after midnight the morning of March first. Different 584 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: Islamist radical terror attacks in the United States, Folks, I'm 585 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:12,800 Speaker 1: just I'm going to issue a warning to please be careful, 586 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: especially if you are at a synagogue here in Wisconsin, 587 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: if you are a member of a Jewish day school 588 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 1: or Jewish community. Just and I'm sure the alert has 589 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: gone out after the attack today, but frankly, the stunning, 590 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 1: staggering rise in anti Semitism we outlined it in the 591 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:41,399 Speaker 1: first segment of this show has been nauseating. And now 592 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:45,400 Speaker 1: we're seeing, in response to the Iran attack, to the 593 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 1: killing of the Ayahtola, a huge rise in these lone 594 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 1: wolf terror attacks. Be careful out there, because it is 595 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 1: it is dangerous.

They're the 629 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 9: hardest working people I know. And then at the end 630 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 9: of the year they're always super stressed out because they 631 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 9: don't know where they're going to come up with the 632 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,960 Speaker 9: extra couple thousand dollars that they owe on the taxes. 633 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,920 Speaker 9: And this year I had to do double take.

That is just 640 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: wrapping up, I believe right now. Earlier today, Energy Secretary 641 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: Chris Wright confirmed that the US is going to be 642 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 1: releasing barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This 643 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 1: as it is simultaneously refilling the strategic reserve following it 644 00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 1: being rated by the Biden administration nearly four years ago. 645 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 11: So we're going to release one hundred and seventy two 646 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,240 Speaker 11: million barrels and swap it for more than two hundred 647 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 11: million barrels that'll be back in the reserve within a year. 648 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 11: So ultimately this is going to help us fill the reserve. 649 00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 11: But we need the oil and the short term for 650 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 11: the for a short term pain for long term gain. 651 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,800 Speaker 1: Of course, that short term pain is the temporary spike 652 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:03,280 Speaker 1: in oil price is because of uncertainty caused by Iran 653 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,800 Speaker 1: continuing to try to block the Strait of Horror mus 654 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 1: and allowing oil to get to where it needs to be. 655 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,759 Speaker 1: Earlier today, President Trump signed an executive order directing the 656 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 1: full force of federal agencies to combat cybercrime, fraud, and 657 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:21,880 Speaker 1: predatory schemes the target American families and businesses. This builds 658 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: on earlier cybersecurity priorities but unleash's new tools against foreign 659 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: backed criminal networks. The Trump administration also launched Section three 660 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: oh one trade investigation into unfair trade practices and excess 661 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:41,960 Speaker 1: production in China, Mexico, and Europe. US Trade Representative Jamison 662 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: Greer declared that the US would no longer sacrifice its 663 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 1: industrial base to foreign over capacity. And this is a 664 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: significant development in the ongoing battle over terriffs. You might 665 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:57,320 Speaker 1: remember the Supreme Court last month struck down President Trump's 666 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,840 Speaker 1: emergency terriffs Section three h one. The sorts of trade 667 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: investigations floated as a key tool to keep them going. That, 668 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, is your daily Trump day to look 669 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 1: at what is going on in Donald Trump's Washington. In 670 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: our Madison, the Wisconsin State Senate is going to be 671 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 1: in full session one more day. I believe it is 672 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: going to be next Tuesday, Saint Patrick's Day. And the 673 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: biggest bill that they are going to have to vote 674 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: on is very likely going to be the online sports 675 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:35,320 Speaker 1: betting bill. We have talked about this at great length 676 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 1: here on the Dan o'donald Show and explained why, quite frankly, 677 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 1: this is probably not a great idea. It's likely unconstitutional. 678 00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:49,359 Speaker 1: It is definitely going to create cartel like control over 679 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,879 Speaker 1: online sports gambling by the eleven Native tribes that run 680 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:58,920 Speaker 1: casinos here in Wisconsin. And it's just bad policy when 681 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:04,320 Speaker 1: I can report exclusion simply today Republicans in caucus today 682 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 1: discussed the measure and they are deeply and I mean 683 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:12,399 Speaker 1: deeply divided on this. My sources tell me there are 684 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,879 Speaker 1: nowhere near enough senators on board to meet the so 685 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 1: called rule of seventeen that would be required to bring 686 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 1: the bill to the floor. Now, the rule of seventeen 687 00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 1: is not a formal Senate rule. It is a policy 688 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: that the Republican Caucus has adopted to try to only 689 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,400 Speaker 1: bring bills to the floor that a clear majority that 690 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 1: almost every single Republican supports. The rule of seventeen is 691 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:45,280 Speaker 1: simply that seventeen Republican senators have to be an agreement 692 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,360 Speaker 1: on a bill in order for it to go to 693 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:53,120 Speaker 1: the floor. This ensures that bills that only have a 694 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,560 Speaker 1: backing of a small percentage or maybe half or or 695 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 1: two thirds of the Republican caucus actually get to the floor, 696 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 1: that bills aren't passed with Democrat votes. That Republicans clearly 697 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 1: want this, and I think frankly it's good policy. However, 698 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:16,320 Speaker 1: Senate Majority Leader Devin Lemahu, according to my sources, seems 699 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,360 Speaker 1: determined to pass this bill even if he has to 700 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,759 Speaker 1: rely on Democrats. We talked last hour briefly about the 701 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 1: NIL bill, the NIL bill that would give essentially a 702 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:34,240 Speaker 1: fifteen million dollar annual gift to UW Madison for facilities maintenance, 703 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,120 Speaker 1: so that they could spend fifteen million dollars that they 704 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:41,640 Speaker 1: take in in revenue to pay nil deals to essentially 705 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,720 Speaker 1: free agent football and basketball players, so that the money 706 00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 1: making revenue sports for UW Madison could get better. Lemme 707 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 1: Hue is an author of that bill, and again there 708 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: are at least three Republicans who oppose it. I believe 709 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:01,200 Speaker 1: it was Testin' Staf Schult and Julian Radley in the 710 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 1: Joint Finance Committee a couple of days ago actually voted down. 711 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,280 Speaker 1: Now that the bill did pass the Joint Finance Committee 712 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,960 Speaker 1: eight to five, but with three Republican objections, you know, 713 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,600 Speaker 1: dog gone. Well, the Democrats want to give any sort 714 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 1: of financial handout to the UW system that they possibly can, 715 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,840 Speaker 1: but if Republicans don't want to, that's. 716 00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 5: Going to be a problem. 717 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 1: Lemonheu though is an author, he is an original author 718 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: of that UW Madison bailout bill, so there is considerable 719 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,279 Speaker 1: speculation that he's just going to bring it to the 720 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: floor anyway, and that he's also going to bring the 721 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 1: online sports betting bill to the floor. Even though there 722 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,440 Speaker 1: aren't seventeen Republicans who support it, I am told the 723 00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:47,839 Speaker 1: number is actually closer to ten or eleven Republicans who 724 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:52,320 Speaker 1: support it. Leadership has been whipping votes. As you can imagine, 725 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:56,880 Speaker 1: the Native tribes, especially the Forest County Potauantami, who have 726 00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,839 Speaker 1: significant sway within the Capitol because of all of the 727 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,279 Speaker 1: lobbying dollars that they have hired, they are putting on 728 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:06,759 Speaker 1: a full core press. In fact, you can probably hear 729 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 1: the dueling advertisements on this radio station. This is in 730 00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,920 Speaker 1: large part because of what we have done on this 731 00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 1: show to raise awareness of this bill. That you have 732 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: is a JB. Van Holland he's against the bill. And 733 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:27,719 Speaker 1: then you've got so there is a significant lobbying for 734 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,720 Speaker 1: us in support of the bill. That the Native tribes 735 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,839 Speaker 1: obviously want it because it would allow them to have 736 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:37,920 Speaker 1: a cartel like authority. Well in opposition to it is 737 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:43,240 Speaker 1: what's known as the Sports Betting Alliance. That's Draft Kings, 738 00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:49,719 Speaker 1: fan Duel BETMGM. What's another one fanatics I think bets 739 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 1: three sixty five is that what it's called there's a 740 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,040 Speaker 1: bunch of them. 741 00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 5: Here's why they oppose it. 742 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:04,480 Speaker 1: The bill does not legalized just online sports betting like 743 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 1: pretty much every other state. Instead, it carves out a 744 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:17,120 Speaker 1: narrow exemption to Wisconsin's gambling law, essentially saying that mobile 745 00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 1: bets are not illegal wagers if the server is physically 746 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:28,279 Speaker 1: located on tribal land. They got the idea from what's 747 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,760 Speaker 1: known as the hub and spoke model in Florida. Florida 748 00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:37,000 Speaker 1: passed a very similar law at the behest of the 749 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:41,920 Speaker 1: Seminole tribe. The Seminole tribe said, all right, well they 750 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,120 Speaker 1: have a similar gaming compact. And the Seminole tribe said, okay, well, 751 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 1: how about this. If the server, so let's say DraftKings, 752 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 1: wants to operate in Wisconsin, it has to put its 753 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 1: physical server in a casino sports book. Well, guess who 754 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,720 Speaker 1: are the only people in this state who are allowed 755 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,080 Speaker 1: to run casino sports books. It would be those eleven 756 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,520 Speaker 1: native tribes. So there are I believe twenty two to 757 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:12,840 Speaker 1: twenty three casinos run by those eleven tribes across the state, 758 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: The Oneida, the ho Chunk, a lot of them. They 759 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 1: run very very small casinos that are located on their reservations. 760 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:23,840 Speaker 1: The big ones that we think of are, of course 761 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:29,160 Speaker 1: Potawatomi Oneida ho Chunk, who is at Lockta Flambeau. They 762 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 1: have a pretty big casino, so this would obviously be 763 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:39,600 Speaker 1: in the big casinos. The hub and spoke model refers 764 00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:44,160 Speaker 1: to the hub of gambling is the physical server located 765 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 1: in a sports book. The spokes are all of the 766 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:53,080 Speaker 1: phones that connect to that hub and actually gamble. The 767 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 1: Sports Betting Alliance says, all right, well, if we're going 768 00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:03,600 Speaker 1: to do this, the tribal compacts that Wisconsin has made 769 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,839 Speaker 1: under Diamond Jim Doyle, and they are made permanent by 770 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:15,239 Speaker 1: his eleventh hour, truly horrible deal. What was that twenty 771 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,360 Speaker 1: three years ago? It'll be twenty three years on April first, 772 00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:22,279 Speaker 1: It is April Fool's Day where Diamond Jim played all 773 00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:25,680 Speaker 1: Wisconsin nights for all time for fools by making the 774 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 1: gaming compacts and that he signed with the tribes the 775 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 1: sweetheart deals after they donated just hundreds and hundreds of 776 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,640 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars to get him elected in two thousand 777 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:40,360 Speaker 1: and two, he paid them back by making forever deals 778 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:44,279 Speaker 1: with them. Well, the Sports Betting Alliance says, if we 779 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,920 Speaker 1: want to operate and we want to put our physical 780 00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:54,360 Speaker 1: server in one of the native tribe's sports books, we 781 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:58,120 Speaker 1: have to give up sixty percent of our revenue to 782 00:52:58,400 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 1: that tribe. 783 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:01,240 Speaker 5: Sixty percent. 784 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,399 Speaker 1: Now, all of the bets are going through Draft Kicks, 785 00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:09,400 Speaker 1: They're going through FanDuel, They're going through BETMGM, they're going 786 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:10,240 Speaker 1: through the app. 787 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:11,600 Speaker 5: You're not going. 788 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:15,279 Speaker 1: To like the Forest County Pottawatamy the Pottawatamie Hotel and 789 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 1: casino betting app. You're going through FanDuel. You're going through 790 00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,960 Speaker 1: the apps that you would normally place bets on. But 791 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,400 Speaker 1: just like the mafia, the tribes would take most of 792 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:32,080 Speaker 1: the profits because they're operating like a cartel. They're carving 793 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 1: up territory and they're saying, Okay, anybody wants to come 794 00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,440 Speaker 1: in on our turf, you've got to play by our rules. 795 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,440 Speaker 1: Biggest problem of this a it gives cartel like authority 796 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:47,080 Speaker 1: to the tribes. Now, I have nothing against the tribes 797 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:52,839 Speaker 1: the casinos other than the intense lobbying that they're doing, 798 00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:56,400 Speaker 1: and other than the fact that they signed just horrible 799 00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:00,400 Speaker 1: compacts with Diamond Jim Doyle, and we're very likely paying 800 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,759 Speaker 1: him off to get exactly what they wanted way back then. 801 00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:10,440 Speaker 1: But I don't believe anybody should have a government backed 802 00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:14,440 Speaker 1: monopoly or government backed cartel. It's the exact same reason 803 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 1: that I fought so hard to stop right of first 804 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:22,759 Speaker 1: refusal with electrical transmission. But another massive problem with this 805 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 1: is that it's almost certainly unconstitutional. Good friends at the 806 00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 1: Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty were arguing this, and 807 00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 1: I agree. Wisconsin's constitution, specifically Article four, section twenty four, 808 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 1: strictly limits gambling. Any new form of gambling needs to 809 00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:46,440 Speaker 1: be approved by voters through constitutional amendment, not by an 810 00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:51,240 Speaker 1: act of the legislature. The legislature cannot allow new forms 811 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 1: of gambling. Now, what supporters of this bill say is that, well, 812 00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,799 Speaker 1: it's not a new form of gambling. It's sports betting 813 00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:03,200 Speaker 1: just being done online. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, 814 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,680 Speaker 1: no no no. It is fundamentally different. You can do 815 00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,920 Speaker 1: live in game betting anywhere you want. 816 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:11,840 Speaker 5: And when we. 817 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,880 Speaker 1: Come back here on the Dan o'donald Show, we are 818 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 1: going to actually dive into just how much more addictive 819 00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 1: online sports betting is. This is not something that folks, 820 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:30,319 Speaker 1: and frankly, frankly well, I am cognizant of just how 821 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:35,480 Speaker 1: addictive this is. We already crossed the rubicon with respect 822 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:40,120 Speaker 1: to gambling. I have no real moral opposition to gambling. 823 00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:45,480 Speaker 1: In about a month or so, maybe month and a half, 824 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,239 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on an annual long weekend with some 825 00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,400 Speaker 1: of my buddies to Las Vegas. It's pretty much the 826 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,840 Speaker 1: only time all year that I gamble. I'll play craps, 827 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:58,480 Speaker 1: I'll play roulette, I'll play blackjack. I really never got 828 00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,960 Speaker 1: into sports gambling quite for I just I don't know. 829 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,799 Speaker 1: Everybody has said, well, the games aren't exciting unless you 830 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 1: have some money on it. Have you not watched sports 831 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:11,520 Speaker 1: bro sports are exciting enough, They're fun enough. So I take, 832 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 1: I really take no moral position on gambling as a vice. 833 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:20,720 Speaker 1: But I do understand that, just like with anything, gambling 834 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,640 Speaker 1: can be done to excess and it can be very addictive. 835 00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,000 Speaker 1: And just because of the ubiquitous nature of online sports GAMP, 836 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,440 Speaker 1: you've got the casino in your hand at all times, 837 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,040 Speaker 1: in your phone, and you're not just betting on the 838 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,839 Speaker 1: outcome of a game. You're betting on whether or not 839 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:44,200 Speaker 1: bam Adabaio will actually get plus or minus eighty one 840 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,920 Speaker 1: points by Kobe Bryant. I mean you can bet on 841 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:51,520 Speaker 1: things like will Jannis have plus or minus seven points 842 00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:56,239 Speaker 1: in the second quarter. I mean just the sheer volume 843 00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,120 Speaker 1: of bets that you can make on one given game 844 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 1: or one given event is absolutely amazing. We will dive 845 00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:08,919 Speaker 1: into the incredibly addictive nature of online sports betting when 846 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:14,560 Speaker 1: The Dan o'donalds Show returns in just a second. Flogging 847 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,440 Speaker 1: Molly in the Dan o'donald Show, Saint Patrick's Day Bumper 848 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:21,600 Speaker 1: music rotation. This is one of my favorites, requiem for 849 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,040 Speaker 1: a dying song, Welcome Back. It is a tour de 850 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,919 Speaker 1: force of truth here on the program each and every 851 00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,720 Speaker 1: afternoon from three to six pm. And the truth is 852 00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,920 Speaker 1: that the sports Betting Bill is just not a good 853 00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:41,240 Speaker 1: piece of legislation. For all those of you who listen 854 00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 1: to this show and think, yeah, Dan o'donald, he's just 855 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:48,760 Speaker 1: a Republican Party flunky. He'll just do whatever the gopiece says. 856 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 1: I can't tell you, folks, how many gopeers in the 857 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:58,280 Speaker 1: state legislature are none too happy with me over first 858 00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:02,040 Speaker 1: right of first refusal going down last year and now 859 00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,440 Speaker 1: the very likely defeat of the sports betting bill. I 860 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 1: can report exclusively this afternoon the Republican caucus in the 861 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 1: Senate remains deeply and I mean deeply divided. They are 862 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:17,680 Speaker 1: nowhere near enough senators in support of this bill to 863 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,000 Speaker 1: meet the so called rule of seventeen, an informal rule 864 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 1: that says Republicans need at least seventeen Republican senators on 865 00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 1: board with a bill to bring it to the floor. 866 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,600 Speaker 1: I am told the whip count right now is somewhere 867 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 1: near ten or eleven at most. However, I am also 868 00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 1: told by multiple sources that Senate Majority Leader Devin Lemahue 869 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,920 Speaker 1: seems determined to pass this even if he has to 870 00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,960 Speaker 1: rely on Democrats, even if he has to violate the 871 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,240 Speaker 1: so called rule of seventeen. We shall see on Saint 872 00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 1: Patrick's day whether he does so, and whether he brings 873 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,480 Speaker 1: both this and the so called nil bill to the floor. 874 00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:01,440 Speaker 1: My opposition is based solely on principle, Folks, I believe 875 00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,800 Speaker 1: this bill violates the state constitution. It is a new 876 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 1: form of gambling that would require you, me, and several 877 00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 1: million of our friends to pass it in the form 878 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:18,320 Speaker 1: of a statewide constitutional amendment. Any sort of new gambling 879 00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:23,560 Speaker 1: in this state cannot simply be approved by the state legislature. 880 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:28,160 Speaker 1: It needs a constitutional amendment. Not only that it creates 881 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 1: a government backed cartel which allows the only operators of 882 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 1: online sports gambling to be the tribes, the Native tribes, 883 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:41,840 Speaker 1: which are allowed to extort the actual purveyors of online 884 00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:46,480 Speaker 1: sports gambling DraftKings, FanDuel, bet, MGM, et cetera, et cetera, 885 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:51,000 Speaker 1: by forcing them to place their servers in the physical 886 00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:55,960 Speaker 1: sports books operated by the casinos. And the casinos the 887 00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:01,920 Speaker 1: tribes then get sixty percent of the revenue, and this 888 01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,960 Speaker 1: would generate far less revenue for the state because it 889 01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 1: would be subject to the gaming compacts as opposed to 890 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 1: simply general revenue general taxable revenue if these operators were 891 01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:19,560 Speaker 1: allowed in Now, I'm not going to disagree with supporters 892 01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:22,240 Speaker 1: of the bill who said, you just can't allow DraftKings 893 01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 1: and FanDuel, etc. To operate because that would violate the 894 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:31,480 Speaker 1: state's gaming compact. We unfortunately gave exclusive dominion over gambling 895 01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:35,440 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin to the Native tribes with the original gaming compacts, 896 01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,520 Speaker 1: and again, Diamond Jim Doyle back on April Fool's Day 897 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 1: two thousand and three made the compacts that he negotiated permanent, 898 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,080 Speaker 1: so you would have to pay a substantial penalty to 899 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:51,120 Speaker 1: the tribes. Now what you can do because DraftKings and 900 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,200 Speaker 1: bed MGM and all, because these are massive companies with 901 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:58,360 Speaker 1: massive amounts of revenue, they could be forced to pay 902 01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 1: whatever the state would be for to pay for allowing 903 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:05,640 Speaker 1: them in to operate in violation of the compacts. For example, 904 01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,840 Speaker 1: if you have to pay one hundred million dollars to 905 01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:12,480 Speaker 1: the tribes in order to allow DraftKings and bet MGM 906 01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:15,320 Speaker 1: and all of these operators, the Sports Betting Alliance in 907 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:18,640 Speaker 1: the state says, okay, you want in, you pay the 908 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:22,400 Speaker 1: tribes one hundred million dollars. My very strong suspicion is 909 01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 1: that they would do it to gain access to five 910 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 1: point eight million more potential customers. 911 01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:30,760 Speaker 5: I have so far. 912 01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:36,520 Speaker 1: Avoided getting into the actual debate over whether or not 913 01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,320 Speaker 1: online sports gambling is a net positive or a net 914 01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:46,040 Speaker 1: negative for society, because, frankly, I understand that a good 915 01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:49,160 Speaker 1: amount of people can bet online, and they can they 916 01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,720 Speaker 1: can place wagers. 917 01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:52,120 Speaker 5: And it's just fine. 918 01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:56,840 Speaker 1: Just like most people can consume alcohol, many people can 919 01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, dabble in marijuana or whatever and not get 920 01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:05,200 Speaker 1: horribly addicted, although given the THHC concentrations, that's getting harder 921 01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:05,880 Speaker 1: and harder. 922 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,560 Speaker 5: But there is a substantial. 923 01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 1: Number of people for whom online sports betting is a 924 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,200 Speaker 1: big problem. And in fact, just a couple of years ago, 925 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:19,840 Speaker 1: the National Council on Problem Gambling did a review of 926 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:24,400 Speaker 1: all of the available studies on online sports betting, and 927 01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:29,040 Speaker 1: they found that gambling problems among sports betters overall is 928 01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,800 Speaker 1: at least twice as high as among gamblers in general, 929 01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:38,040 Speaker 1: for example, those who play roulette, those who play you know, 930 01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 1: casino games. And the reason for this is pretty self 931 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:46,000 Speaker 1: evident because most of them. How do you typically make 932 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:50,080 Speaker 1: a sports bet? Well, for many years in Wisconsin, we 933 01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,360 Speaker 1: did not have sports books, so you couldn't do so legally. 934 01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,680 Speaker 1: In Wisconsin, you call up a bookie and you say, 935 01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,640 Speaker 1: all right, give me one hundred dollars. On Ohio State, 936 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:05,080 Speaker 1: it's very very easy to do. It's much more difficult. 937 01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,160 Speaker 1: You want to gamble, you want to play blackjack, You've 938 01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:10,000 Speaker 1: got to go all the way down to the casino. 939 01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 1: You gotta sit down there, you gotta bring a bunch 940 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,080 Speaker 1: of cash, you gotta exchange it for chips, and it's 941 01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,640 Speaker 1: time consuming. You're at a casino. You're sitting there. Obviously, 942 01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:19,920 Speaker 1: if you are a problem gambler, you're going to do it. 943 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 1: But it's just the ease with which you can sports bet, 944 01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,040 Speaker 1: and that's sort of the problem with online sports betting. 945 01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 1: When sports betting is done online, the number of problem 946 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,800 Speaker 1: behaviors that are exhibited by people who do it jumps 947 01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:42,720 Speaker 1: even higher. Sixteen percent of people who online sports bet 948 01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 1: meet the full clinical criteria for a gambling disorder. Another 949 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:54,360 Speaker 1: thirteen percent show signs of compulsive gambling or problem gambling. 950 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 1: This is twenty nine to thirty percent of people who 951 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:05,440 Speaker 1: gamble online through online sports betting. By comparison, the general 952 01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:11,360 Speaker 1: population of gamblers, problem gambling rates are one to three percent. 953 01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:16,440 Speaker 1: For online sports betters, it's twenty nine to thirty percent. 954 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,880 Speaker 1: That's a significant issue. And again, the biggest issue is 955 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 1: the fact that the casino isn't in downtown Milwaukee. You 956 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,400 Speaker 1: don't got to drive all the way to the Dells 957 01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,000 Speaker 1: to go to ho Chunk. You don't have to drive 958 01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:35,360 Speaker 1: out to the Oneida Casino. Your casino is in your pocket. 959 01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,960 Speaker 1: It is very, very how many times a day some 960 01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:45,600 Speaker 1: might argue that your humble host is addicted to going 961 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:50,440 Speaker 1: on X or if you will Twitter. I am addicted 962 01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,400 Speaker 1: to just knowing what is going on in the world 963 01:04:53,480 --> 01:05:00,320 Speaker 1: at all times. My family jokingly calls it stimming. You 964 01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,560 Speaker 1: know what stemming is. My wife is a former speech 965 01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,200 Speaker 1: pathologist and autistic kids. 966 01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,080 Speaker 5: She worked with autistic kids a lot. They need stimulus, 967 01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:09,600 Speaker 5: so this is. 968 01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,840 Speaker 1: Why iPads are very, very popular for autistic kids. And 969 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,600 Speaker 1: when I would be looking up side, oh Dan stimming, 970 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:22,000 Speaker 1: that was sort of our family joke. I'll make no 971 01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,400 Speaker 1: bones about it. I'm addicted. I am addicted to the news. 972 01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:30,919 Speaker 1: I am addicted to just getting random information. I did 973 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,480 Speaker 1: completely wow my wife and daughter the other day. We 974 01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:36,680 Speaker 1: were at the Texas Roadhouse gourmet dinner over at the 975 01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:40,160 Speaker 1: Texas Roadhouse, right, and the boys didn't want to come. 976 01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:42,240 Speaker 1: I think one of my sons was sick or something. 977 01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,160 Speaker 1: And you know how they have the little game, the 978 01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:46,320 Speaker 1: little tablet for the kids to play it. Well, they 979 01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:51,800 Speaker 1: did trivia and the screen was facing my wife and daughter, 980 01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:54,160 Speaker 1: who were sitting on the other side of the table, 981 01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:56,720 Speaker 1: and they were playing the trivia game. And you know 982 01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,560 Speaker 1: it's like the multiple choice questions and the point value 983 01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:01,760 Speaker 1: goes down the longer you wait. Well, they were just 984 01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:04,280 Speaker 1: asking me the questions without any multiple choice. I was 985 01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,320 Speaker 1: just bang bang, bang, nailing every one of them. Now, 986 01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,080 Speaker 1: my daughter, she's eleven, How did you do that? 987 01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:09,920 Speaker 5: How'd you like? 988 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:11,720 Speaker 1: What do you think I'm doing on my phone all 989 01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:16,120 Speaker 1: the time, I'm researching random useless stuff. But the point 990 01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:19,320 Speaker 1: is that it's way more difficult for me to research 991 01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:21,880 Speaker 1: random useless stuff when I would have to go to 992 01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:26,400 Speaker 1: the Encyclopedia Britannica instead of having the sum total of 993 01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 1: human knowledge in my pocket at all times. 994 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:30,920 Speaker 5: The same thing. 995 01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:35,480 Speaker 1: Is true for people who have pornography addictions, and in fact, 996 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:41,160 Speaker 1: the literature on sexual dysfunction and pornography addiction it all 997 01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,520 Speaker 1: points to the fact that once we got once we 998 01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 1: all got phones, once the smartphone became ubiquitous, when you 999 01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:52,840 Speaker 1: had a constant access of every sort of pornography imaginable, 1000 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:54,919 Speaker 1: I mean, truly, just as you have the sum total 1001 01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:58,439 Speaker 1: of human knowledge, you have the sum total of human depravity. 1002 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,640 Speaker 1: You also have the some total of all manner of gambling. 1003 01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:06,640 Speaker 1: When all of that is available to you at all times, 1004 01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:11,160 Speaker 1: it's of course going to be very very easy to 1005 01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,080 Speaker 1: overdo it. It's going to be very very easy to 1006 01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,240 Speaker 1: over consume and to not be able to stop. And 1007 01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,560 Speaker 1: one of the big problems with online sports betting as 1008 01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:23,080 Speaker 1: well is that the people who are taking part in 1009 01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:27,160 Speaker 1: it the most are typically young men. It is almost 1010 01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:31,680 Speaker 1: inevitably young men between the ages of eighteen and twenty five. 1011 01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:35,800 Speaker 1: Those are by far the biggest consumers of these online 1012 01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,080 Speaker 1: sports betting apps. Now, who do you think has more money? 1013 01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:44,920 Speaker 1: Typically forty five year old old codure like me or 1014 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:49,520 Speaker 1: say my eighteen year old son. He does in sports 1015 01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:53,480 Speaker 1: bet But obviously and gambling becomes a problem. 1016 01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:53,840 Speaker 5: What is it? 1017 01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:59,800 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan I think famously said it's gambling is only 1018 01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:02,040 Speaker 1: going It's only a problem if you don't have the 1019 01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:05,480 Speaker 1: money to do it, which is kind of true. But 1020 01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:08,320 Speaker 1: the problem is the people who have the least amount 1021 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:12,240 Speaker 1: of money to be able to gamble and waste are 1022 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:15,600 Speaker 1: also the people who are doing this activity the most 1023 01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:19,760 Speaker 1: activity that we now know is very very addictive and 1024 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,240 Speaker 1: can very quickly lead to problem gambling.

You should be ashamed of yourself. 1097 01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:44,400 Speaker 1: Especially did you see what happened in the New York 1098 01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:50,120 Speaker 1: City Mayor's office, presumably in defiance of this anti Muslim 1099 01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:55,280 Speaker 1: protest over the weekend outside Gracie Mansion. Mayor zorn Mom 1100 01:12:55,400 --> 01:13:00,639 Speaker 1: Donnie actually held a Muslim prayer service inside the Mayor's 1101 01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:04,320 Speaker 1: office as he met with a group of Muslim constituents. 1102 01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:08,439 Speaker 1: This happened, I believe yesterday they did the whole prayer 1103 01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:12,639 Speaker 1: rug thing. Now is that I'm sorry I heard any 1104 01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:16,920 Speaker 1: reference to Christmas or if you don't call Easter egg day. 1105 01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:21,080 Speaker 1: It's the worst violation of the First Amendment that this 1106 01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,320 Speaker 1: country has ever seen. But you can have the mayor 1107 01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:29,400 Speaker 1: praying on his prayer matt while meeting with constituents for 1108 01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:38,320 Speaker 1: an explicitly religious thing. Folks, It's never about keeping religion 1109 01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:41,759 Speaker 1: out of all public life. It is always about keeping 1110 01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:47,000 Speaker 1: Christianity out of all public life. Seriously, Milwaukee Zoo. I 1111 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,440 Speaker 1: love the Milwaukee. We have one of the best zoos 1112 01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:51,519 Speaker 1: in the entire country.

And I'm not just talking 1117 01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:07,880 Speaker 1: about all the left wing crazies that you can go 1118 01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:11,559 Speaker 1: out and watch protesting Ice when they get all riled up, 1119 01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,040 Speaker 1: that's a pretty fun zoo to watch too. I'm talking 1120 01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,799 Speaker 1: about the actual Minneapolis. I believe it's called the Como 1121 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:21,200 Speaker 1: Zoo up there. Brooklyn or the Bronx Zoo. 1122 01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:22,680 Speaker 5: Yeah is it? 1123 01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:25,720 Speaker 1: Where's the big zoo Bronx or Brooklyn?

Milwaukee has got a tremendous hue. 1126 01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:31,960 Speaker 5: Just call it Easter. 1127 01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:36,559 Speaker 1: This is like we're still fighting the stupid liberal fight 1128 01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:40,040 Speaker 1: from twenty years ago when we had to rename all 1129 01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:43,320 Speaker 1: of the Easter bunnies in every mall the springtime bunny. 1130 01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,520 Speaker 1: So we wouldn't offend a bunch of left wing wackados. 1131 01:14:57,160 --> 01:15:00,920 Speaker 1: It's out to name the unsung hero the day here 1132 01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,599 Speaker 1: on the Dan o'donald Show, and it is the as 1133 01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:10,560 Speaker 1: yet unnamed security guard at the Temple Synagogue in West Bloomfield, Michigan, 1134 01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:14,600 Speaker 1: who confronted a terrorist suspect who we now believe to 1135 01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:18,400 Speaker 1: be a naturalized citizen from Lebanon, who crashed his car 1136 01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:22,960 Speaker 1: into that synagogue and immediately started opening fire. That security 1137 01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:26,839 Speaker 1: guard was struck by the car. He returned fire, killing 1138 01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:31,879 Speaker 1: the suspect and very likely saving untold numbers of lives. 1139 01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:35,479 Speaker 1: He is an American hero, and he is, of course 1140 01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:40,040 Speaker 1: your unsung hero of the day. What we now know 1141 01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:43,040 Speaker 1: about all of the recent terror attacks in the United 1142 01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:46,640 Speaker 1: States is that all were committed by either naturalized citizens 1143 01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:50,639 Speaker 1: or the children of naturalized citizens. Who are we allowing 1144 01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:54,240 Speaker 1: into this country. Do we have a legal immigration problem 1145 01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:57,280 Speaker 1: in the United States. We'll discuss that and more coming 1146 01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:01,000 Speaker 1: up here on the Dan o'donald Show. So we are 1147 01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:05,200 Speaker 1: apparently going to get between one and fifty four inches 1148 01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:10,920 Speaker 1: of snow between Saturday night and Monday morning. I am 1149 01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:14,000 Speaker 1: told this by the exact same people who will tell 1150 01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:18,200 Speaker 1: me with a straight face that they know if we 1151 01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:22,880 Speaker 1: continue burning fossil fuels, the Earth's temperature will rise two 1152 01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:27,400 Speaker 1: degrees over the next century and a half. When you 1153 01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:29,519 Speaker 1: can tell me how much snow we're going to get 1154 01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:32,800 Speaker 1: in two days, I'll believe you when you tell me 1155 01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,880 Speaker 1: what the Earth's average temperature is going to be in 1156 01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:40,080 Speaker 1: the year twenty one fifty six. Okay, Oh well, dad, Dan, 1157 01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,600 Speaker 1: that's different. That's temperature versus climate. And there are a 1158 01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:48,440 Speaker 1: whole bunch of different variables that go into a weather forecast. Yeah, 1159 01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:51,479 Speaker 1: there are. Now imagine all of the variables that go 1160 01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:58,080 Speaker 1: into long term weather forecasts, which are known as climate forecasts. 1161 01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:01,320 Speaker 1: I have absolutely no idea how much snow is going 1162 01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,040 Speaker 1: to fall, and neither does anyone else. 1163 01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:06,240 Speaker 5: Top stories we are following. National Weather Service. 1164 01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,920 Speaker 1: Says it's likely to be a foot or more in 1165 01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:12,839 Speaker 1: Milwaukee and Madison, with the vast majority of it falling 1166 01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:16,400 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Basically, if you don't have to be anywhere, 1167 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:20,639 Speaker 1: don't go anywhere. Already, my kids are asking why did 1168 01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:23,719 Speaker 1: it have to fall on Sunday and not Monday? 1169 01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:24,120 Speaker 12: Why? 1170 01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:25,240 Speaker 5: Oh why? God? 1171 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:28,320 Speaker 1: You kids go to a public school, you get like 1172 01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:33,760 Speaker 1: every third Monday off. Anyway, I cannot get over how 1173 01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:37,559 Speaker 1: many federal holidays these kids have. Presidents Day, Martin Luther 1174 01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:42,040 Speaker 1: King Day, Teacher in Service Day, Spring Break is coming 1175 01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:44,240 Speaker 1: up later this month, then they get a couple of 1176 01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:49,720 Speaker 1: days off for Easter as well. An exclusive report here 1177 01:17:49,720 --> 01:17:52,639 Speaker 1: on the Dan o'donald show, the Senence Republican CLOCKUS remains 1178 01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:57,040 Speaker 1: deeply divided on the issue of online sports gambling. We 1179 01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,800 Speaker 1: spent a good portion of the four o'clock hour discussing 1180 01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:03,880 Speaker 1: that it is unclear whether Senate Majority Leader Devin Lemaheue 1181 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:07,200 Speaker 1: is going to bring the controversial measure to the full 1182 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,120 Speaker 1: Senate floor for a vote on what is projected to 1183 01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,840 Speaker 1: be the last day of the Senate session this year, 1184 01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:18,360 Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Equally contentious is the Save America Act in 1185 01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:22,200 Speaker 1: the United States Senate Senate Majority Leader John Thune saying 1186 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,519 Speaker 1: today he is going to bring it to the floor. 1187 01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,760 Speaker 2: At the core of the Save America Act is the 1188 01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:30,160 Speaker 2: requirement that individuals provide proof of citizenship to register to 1189 01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:32,760 Speaker 2: vote and then show an ID when they go to 1190 01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:36,280 Speaker 2: the polls. In other words, it would require Americans to 1191 01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:39,160 Speaker 2: demonstrate that they're eligible to vote and that they are 1192 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:42,280 Speaker 2: who they say they are when they go to do so. 1193 01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:47,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, the only problem with that, of course, the bill 1194 01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,120 Speaker 1: is going to be filibustered. It's not about whether or 1195 01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:53,000 Speaker 1: not the Save America Act should be brought to the floor. 1196 01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:56,599 Speaker 1: Every Republican believes it should be. It's whether or not 1197 01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:00,559 Speaker 1: we need philibuster reform in order to do so. Those 1198 01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,760 Speaker 1: are the top stories we are following right now four one, four, seven, nine, nine, 1199 01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:06,360 Speaker 1: eleven thirty on our advet nose dot com talk and 1200 01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:09,320 Speaker 1: text line.

A teacher in 1207 01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:39,720 Speaker 1: the Sturgeon Bay School District who we hear at the 1208 01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:43,280 Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show have identified, but we're not going to 1209 01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:47,719 Speaker 1: release her name. She's she's a civilian, she's a private citizen. 1210 01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,880 Speaker 1: She's not in government, but she is a teacher who 1211 01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:55,439 Speaker 1: is unfortunately indoctrinated into left wing craziness, but we can 1212 01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:58,040 Speaker 1: tell you she is in the Sturgeon Bay School District. 1213 01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:01,120 Speaker 1: She has been going viral on soci social media today 1214 01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:05,719 Speaker 1: after she posted a TikTok video saying that she put 1215 01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:10,280 Speaker 1: out a Google spreadsheet that she has her students fill 1216 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:15,720 Speaker 1: out with their gender, preferred pronouns, and preferred name. 1217 01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:19,320 Speaker 12: So this is something I'm starting this semester to help 1218 01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:23,559 Speaker 12: with inclusivity in the classroom, making sure her students feel comfortable. 1219 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:26,759 Speaker 12: So our first day, we made a simple Google form 1220 01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:33,000 Speaker 12: asking some information for myself. My form asks very simple 1221 01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:35,760 Speaker 12: things and asks what classes there in? It asks a 1222 01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:40,639 Speaker 12: preferred name or nickname, preferred pet pronounce It asks is this. 1223 01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:43,439 Speaker 10: Safe for me to use when I call or email home? 1224 01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:49,320 Speaker 1: What do you mean safe? What she's talking about is 1225 01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:54,639 Speaker 1: known as social transitioning. This is when a child at 1226 01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:59,560 Speaker 1: school or in social situations identifies as a different gender. 1227 01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:04,280 Speaker 1: You is oftentimes a different name, totally different pronouns consistent 1228 01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:07,920 Speaker 1: with the chosen gender. And where this becomes a big, 1229 01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:12,160 Speaker 1: big problem is when teachers, just like this woman in 1230 01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:15,840 Speaker 1: the Sturgeon Bay School District don't tell the parents that 1231 01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,960 Speaker 1: social transitioning is going on. When she says, is it 1232 01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:22,519 Speaker 1: safe for me to use your name and to use 1233 01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:23,879 Speaker 1: your pronouns when. 1234 01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:24,559 Speaker 5: I call home? 1235 01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 1: What she's talking about is essentially keeping secrets from parents 1236 01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:33,800 Speaker 1: that the child is rather clearly going through some sort 1237 01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:38,840 Speaker 1: of mental health crisis, i e. Gender dysphoria. I saw this. 1238 01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:41,120 Speaker 12: Idea here on TikTok. I just thought it was a 1239 01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:44,640 Speaker 12: good way to make students feel super comfortable, and I 1240 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:46,840 Speaker 12: really like that it includes height. Is this okay to 1241 01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:48,800 Speaker 12: use home or not okay to use a home? Because 1242 01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:50,799 Speaker 12: that's a really important question to ask your kidos. 1243 01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:56,040 Speaker 1: So, uh no, actually it isn't. It is never a 1244 01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,680 Speaker 1: question you should ask your kiddos. 1245 01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,280 Speaker 5: Is it okay? Should we keep this secret? 1246 01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:05,479 Speaker 1: Look, folks, we just talked about this yesterday in the 1247 01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:09,840 Speaker 1: context of the single worst sexual abuse scandal in quite 1248 01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,920 Speaker 1: possibly Wisconsin's history, in the history of the public school 1249 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,720 Speaker 1: system in Oconto Falls. We've got to follow up on 1250 01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,680 Speaker 1: that coming up later on this hour Here on the 1251 01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:20,680 Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show, we're actually gonna hear from one of 1252 01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:25,800 Speaker 1: those victims. She is speaking out after her lawyers held 1253 01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:29,519 Speaker 1: a press conference yesterday suing the o'conto Falls School district 1254 01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:34,920 Speaker 1: alleging massive cover ups of massive teacher sexual abuse. We 1255 01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:39,160 Speaker 1: were talking about why it was so important that there 1256 01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:44,960 Speaker 1: are no secrets between adults and children. This is look, 1257 01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:49,400 Speaker 1: it's not always a sign of grooming, but when you're 1258 01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:52,720 Speaker 1: saying something to the effect of, don't tell your mom 1259 01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:55,160 Speaker 1: and dad, here is a secret between me and you 1260 01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:58,880 Speaker 1: that you're sharing with a child. You can't trust your 1261 01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:03,080 Speaker 1: parents with this, but you can trust me. That is 1262 01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:06,880 Speaker 1: a very problematic thing to be doing by somebody who 1263 01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:10,479 Speaker 1: is in a position of power and authority, a position 1264 01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:14,400 Speaker 1: of taking care of that student, being responsible for that 1265 01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:15,920 Speaker 1: student's well being like a teacher. 1266 01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,000 Speaker 5: And by the way, this. 1267 01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:23,200 Speaker 1: Would be illegal under AB one three, a bill that 1268 01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:27,880 Speaker 1: the state legislature passed this session banning this sort of 1269 01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:34,479 Speaker 1: social transitioning two major portions of it. It requires a written, 1270 01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:39,719 Speaker 1: notarized request to the school principles submitted by a parent 1271 01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:44,080 Speaker 1: or guardian if a child is going to be changing 1272 01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:49,880 Speaker 1: a name or pronouns. In other words, this ensures that 1273 01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:53,559 Speaker 1: the school and the parent and the student, everybody is 1274 01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:55,960 Speaker 1: all on the same page, that the parents are aware 1275 01:23:56,520 --> 01:24:00,360 Speaker 1: that the student is transitioning, The parents are awa where 1276 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:03,960 Speaker 1: that the school is not going to be keeping secrets. 1277 01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:09,759 Speaker 1: It also requires a policy on staff usage of names 1278 01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:13,400 Speaker 1: and pronouns for these students that basically says, the parents 1279 01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:15,960 Speaker 1: are the legal guardians of the kid, determine what names 1280 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:20,160 Speaker 1: and pronouns school staff can use during school hours, and 1281 01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:24,040 Speaker 1: staff members like this teacher cannot refer to a student 1282 01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:28,200 Speaker 1: by a name or pronouns that don't aligned with the 1283 01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:33,559 Speaker 1: biological sex again without this written and authorized notification from 1284 01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:36,880 Speaker 1: a parent or guardian. And the reason for this is 1285 01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:40,080 Speaker 1: because a parent has a right to know if a 1286 01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:44,280 Speaker 1: student is exhibiting troublesome behavior. And I know we like 1287 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:50,200 Speaker 1: to pretend in liberal society that changing your gender and 1288 01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:54,479 Speaker 1: going by different pronouns is not evidence of mental illness 1289 01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,880 Speaker 1: or it's not evidence of troublesome behavior. 1290 01:24:58,040 --> 01:25:00,400 Speaker 5: It is by every class vacation. 1291 01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:04,800 Speaker 1: It is if all of a sudden a student was 1292 01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:09,240 Speaker 1: saying things in class like I want to harm myself, 1293 01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:13,040 Speaker 1: I hate myself, I am not satisfied with who I am, 1294 01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:16,040 Speaker 1: a teacher would have a duty to tell the parents, 1295 01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,880 Speaker 1: right because that would be depressive behavior. That would be 1296 01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:22,639 Speaker 1: evidence that the student has some sort of mental illness, 1297 01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:23,600 Speaker 1: that the student. 1298 01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:24,679 Speaker 5: Is not doing well well. 1299 01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:28,000 Speaker 1: What if a student is saying, essentially, I don't like 1300 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:30,880 Speaker 1: my gender, I don't like the name Dan. I want 1301 01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,240 Speaker 1: to go by Dan Yelle from now, but don't tell 1302 01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:35,880 Speaker 1: my parents. That's going to be a secret between me 1303 01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:41,080 Speaker 1: and you, and the teacher actually keeps that a secret. 1304 01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:46,400 Speaker 1: Do you know what the suicide rate is for transgender 1305 01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:49,880 Speaker 1: individuals or for those who are suffering from gender dysphoria. 1306 01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:55,720 Speaker 1: Let's take a wild guess, not suicidal ideation, not suicidal thought. 1307 01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:56,720 Speaker 5: The rate of. 1308 01:25:56,720 --> 01:26:01,040 Speaker 1: People who kill themselves who identify as trans it is 1309 01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:05,360 Speaker 1: about forty to forty one percent. That is staggeringly high. 1310 01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:10,720 Speaker 1: And it's staggeringly high because these people, unfortunately, are not 1311 01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:15,880 Speaker 1: being treated for the severe depression, the schizophrenia, and just 1312 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:20,439 Speaker 1: the sheer mental anguish that they're going through. Saying I'm 1313 01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:22,599 Speaker 1: not happy with who I am. I want to change 1314 01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:27,240 Speaker 1: my gender. That's not the that's not the diagnosis. That's 1315 01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:34,000 Speaker 1: the symptom of a deeper mental problem. Psychiatry and psychology 1316 01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,960 Speaker 1: used to understand this. The medical profession used to understand this, 1317 01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,800 Speaker 1: and there would be like a holistic treatment of what 1318 01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:45,040 Speaker 1: was known as gender dysmorphic disorder or gender dysphoria. Well, 1319 01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 1: long about ten years ago and accelerating as everything did 1320 01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:51,840 Speaker 1: in the era of woke. 1321 01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,040 Speaker 5: In twenty twenty, that changed. 1322 01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:59,040 Speaker 1: The state legislature did the right thing and said, okay, 1323 01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:01,160 Speaker 1: parents have a right to know if there is a 1324 01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:05,559 Speaker 1: substantial change in a child, just like if the child 1325 01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:09,920 Speaker 1: was saying things like I'm not happy with you know, 1326 01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:14,760 Speaker 1: I don't know whatever the child is saying, I'm not happy. 1327 01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:19,960 Speaker 1: You call home, It's expected. It's what you do as 1328 01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:21,720 Speaker 1: a teacher, It's what you do as a coach, it's 1329 01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:24,560 Speaker 1: what you do as a babysitter, as as somebody responsible 1330 01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,400 Speaker 1: for the child. If there's some behavior that you notice 1331 01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:31,439 Speaker 1: that is change, call the parents. What is it about 1332 01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:35,679 Speaker 1: this specific behavior that we have to keep it secret 1333 01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:41,759 Speaker 1: from the parents? It's common sense legislation, right, Well, every 1334 01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:47,000 Speaker 1: single Democrat voted against this, and Evers is almost certainly 1335 01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:54,400 Speaker 1: going to veto it. By the way, Democrats who voted 1336 01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:57,559 Speaker 1: against this and Evers, who's going to veto it. These 1337 01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:00,000 Speaker 1: are the same people who say they follow the science, right, 1338 01:28:00,560 --> 01:28:01,240 Speaker 1: follow the science. 1339 01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:01,840 Speaker 5: Follow the science. 1340 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,599 Speaker 1: You know what, the best science we have on social 1341 01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:09,760 Speaker 1: transitioning and just how we treat transgender youth. You know 1342 01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,679 Speaker 1: what the best science is. It's known as the Cast Review. 1343 01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:16,320 Speaker 1: It's a comprehensive review of studies published in twenty twenty 1344 01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:20,280 Speaker 1: four by the National Health Service in England. It founds 1345 01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:23,639 Speaker 1: that there it found that there is quote remarkably weak 1346 01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:29,400 Speaker 1: evidence underpinning pretty much every current practice on transgender youth. 1347 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:37,000 Speaker 1: Social transitioning in particular, finds that there is no difference 1348 01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:40,439 Speaker 1: whatsoever if you socially transition. If you say, Okay, my 1349 01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:44,400 Speaker 1: name is Danielle and my pronouns are zz or in zers, 1350 01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:47,880 Speaker 1: there is no difference in depression, anxiety, feelings of self 1351 01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:52,679 Speaker 1: worth or overall psychological functioning. Then if you don't socially transition, 1352 01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:57,439 Speaker 1: meaning there is no reason to do so. And if anything, 1353 01:28:58,200 --> 01:29:02,800 Speaker 1: the Cast Review found that if you socially transition in childhood, 1354 01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:08,240 Speaker 1: you are much more likely to persist with gender dysphoria 1355 01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:11,640 Speaker 1: into adolescents and adulthood. Do you know what happens to 1356 01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:15,320 Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority of kids who say, yeah, I think 1357 01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:17,160 Speaker 1: I was born in the wrong body. I think I'm 1358 01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:21,160 Speaker 1: actually supposed to be a girl. They outgrow it. But 1359 01:29:21,240 --> 01:29:24,760 Speaker 1: when you socially transition, the younger you socially transition a 1360 01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:29,960 Speaker 1: kid that's associated with ninety two to ninety seven percent 1361 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:34,960 Speaker 1: of these kids continuing to identify as transgender after five 1362 01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:40,320 Speaker 1: or more years. Only two to seven percent of kids say, Okay, 1363 01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:44,200 Speaker 1: I've outgrown this, And the reason is because everybody around 1364 01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:46,200 Speaker 1: them is saying, Nope, nope, you're actually a girl. Nope, 1365 01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:51,640 Speaker 1: you're actually a girl. Direct quote from this study. It 1366 01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:55,720 Speaker 1: is difficult to assess the impact of social transition due 1367 01:29:55,720 --> 01:29:59,400 Speaker 1: to the small volume and low quality of research. Professionals 1368 01:29:59,400 --> 01:30:02,280 Speaker 1: should be aware of the absence of robust evidence on 1369 01:30:02,400 --> 01:30:06,080 Speaker 1: benefits or harms. Now what happens if there's no evidence, 1370 01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:08,280 Speaker 1: or no good evidence, or not a whole lot of 1371 01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:11,320 Speaker 1: evidence to support what it is you're doing to the kids? 1372 01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:13,320 Speaker 1: Do you think you should continue to do that to 1373 01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:15,439 Speaker 1: the kids or do you think you should stop it? 1374 01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:19,719 Speaker 1: If you are a person who say follows the science. 1375 01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:25,840 Speaker 1: By the way, the key recommendations from this cast review, 1376 01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:30,160 Speaker 1: puberty blockers should almost never be subscribed or prescribed. I 1377 01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:33,200 Speaker 1: should say that there is just no evidence that they 1378 01:30:33,320 --> 01:30:40,120 Speaker 1: are worth it, that they work cross sex hormones, like 1379 01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:42,679 Speaker 1: giving a boy a bunch of estrogen or a girl 1380 01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:47,160 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of testosterone. Use extreme caution for anyone 1381 01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:52,160 Speaker 1: under eighteen and parental involvement. This was the biggest one. 1382 01:30:52,720 --> 01:31:00,320 Speaker 1: Is absolutely critical. Any social transitioning for children who have 1383 01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:06,840 Speaker 1: not yet hit puberty requires absolute input from parents, from doctors, 1384 01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:10,559 Speaker 1: from every man. For all kids, parents and people who 1385 01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:13,760 Speaker 1: care for the kids must be involved, because if they're 1386 01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:19,040 Speaker 1: not well, this leads to secret keeping, this leads to resentment, 1387 01:31:19,160 --> 01:31:23,000 Speaker 1: This leads to the breakdown of relationships within the family. 1388 01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:26,160 Speaker 1: In other words, this is about the worst thing that 1389 01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:29,400 Speaker 1: you can be doing, and this is why the state 1390 01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:33,519 Speaker 1: legislature wanted to make it illegal. This is also why 1391 01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:37,040 Speaker 1: Governor Evers needs to defy his party. And if he 1392 01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:40,479 Speaker 1: actually cares, if he actually is the education governor, if 1393 01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:44,120 Speaker 1: he actually does care about school kids as much as 1394 01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:47,840 Speaker 1: he and his administration say they do, he will do 1395 01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:51,000 Speaker 1: the single best thing he could possibly do for school 1396 01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:55,000 Speaker 1: kids and sign this bill so that the most vulnerable 1397 01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:59,639 Speaker 1: children are not put in even more danger. A big 1398 01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:03,280 Speaker 1: follow up on that huge sex scandal out of Oconto Falls. Next, 1399 01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:08,439 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Dan o'donald Show. Let's go live 1400 01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:12,240 Speaker 1: to West Bloomfield, Michigan, where authorities are providing an update 1401 01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:15,919 Speaker 1: on today's terror attack on a synagogue there. 1402 01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:17,160 Speaker 5: Let's go. 1403 01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:19,760 Speaker 1: This is the Oakland County Sheriff. You're on the Dan 1404 01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:20,479 Speaker 1: o'donald show. 1405 01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:24,960 Speaker 4: Every place that's got significant houses of worship, a Jewish facility, 1406 01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:27,400 Speaker 4: synagogue's temples, you name it. 1407 01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:29,080 Speaker 3: Over the past two weeks. 1408 01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:32,760 Speaker 4: Obviously, what happens around the world sometimes affects us, so 1409 01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:34,760 Speaker 4: we have to think about it and be prepared for it. 1410 01:32:34,800 --> 01:32:35,759 Speaker 3: So we've been talking. 1411 01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:39,240 Speaker 4: I text actually the head of security from the temple 1412 01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:44,000 Speaker 4: two days ago and communicated some information to him. So 1413 01:32:44,040 --> 01:32:45,760 Speaker 4: the first thing the community should know is that we 1414 01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:49,840 Speaker 4: not just today work together. We work together all the time. 1415 01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:54,519 Speaker 4: Our state, federal, and local partners Number one. Number two, 1416 01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:58,120 Speaker 4: we train and our world preparation is important. We hope 1417 01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:01,200 Speaker 4: and pray it never happens, but that's not a strategy. 1418 01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:04,519 Speaker 4: Preparation is so all of us have been training together 1419 01:33:05,200 --> 01:33:08,759 Speaker 4: for many years for active shooters or active assailants, mass 1420 01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:12,880 Speaker 4: casualty events, and tragically we've had way more than our share. 1421 01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:15,679 Speaker 3: So that is ongoing and is in place. 1422 01:33:17,040 --> 01:33:20,280 Speaker 4: The third thing is important to note no children and 1423 01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:24,000 Speaker 4: no staff were hurt, so we know there's evil in 1424 01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:26,280 Speaker 4: the world, and we know they only have to get 1425 01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:30,200 Speaker 4: it right once and sometimes they do. They may not 1426 01:33:30,240 --> 01:33:32,519 Speaker 4: come on anybody's radar and they show up, but what 1427 01:33:32,680 --> 01:33:36,639 Speaker 4: happens when they show up, that's where training and preparation 1428 01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:37,280 Speaker 4: kicks in. 1429 01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:38,960 Speaker 3: The security staff did. 1430 01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:43,240 Speaker 4: An amazing job, an amazing job, and you'll get some 1431 01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:45,439 Speaker 4: of the details on that, but they stopped the threat. 1432 01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:49,280 Speaker 4: No kids, no staff were hurt. Now, there were some 1433 01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:50,719 Speaker 4: injuries and things that. 1434 01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:51,599 Speaker 3: Had to be taken care of. 1435 01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:54,719 Speaker 4: One of the head of security was taken to the hospital. 1436 01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:57,200 Speaker 4: He got knocked down by the car when it breached 1437 01:33:57,200 --> 01:34:00,240 Speaker 4: the building, and we've had thirty law enforcement offs was 1438 01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:03,679 Speaker 4: taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. So a lot 1439 01:34:03,720 --> 01:34:07,080 Speaker 4: of our folks from my SWAT team and other agencies 1440 01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:11,439 Speaker 4: are still in treatment because that building became engulfed in 1441 01:34:11,479 --> 01:34:15,480 Speaker 4: the car. And we'll learn all of that through the investigation. 1442 01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:20,160 Speaker 4: Why it became engulfed in flams, what was the ignition source? 1443 01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:21,040 Speaker 3: And I think the. 1444 01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:25,680 Speaker 4: ATF has taking that the origin of that source and 1445 01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:27,640 Speaker 4: origin of the fire. But in any event, what it did, 1446 01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:31,400 Speaker 4: it caused terrible, terrible smoke in that part of the building. 1447 01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:34,160 Speaker 4: And so when all of our people collectively went in 1448 01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:37,639 Speaker 4: that building to search out the threat to remove innocent. 1449 01:34:38,479 --> 01:34:42,200 Speaker 4: A lot of them took in significant amount of smoke 1450 01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:44,439 Speaker 4: inhalation and they're at the hospital being treated. 1451 01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:47,880 Speaker 3: So I also know you're gonna have a lot of questions. 1452 01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:50,920 Speaker 4: A lot of those questions can't be answered at this 1453 01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:55,599 Speaker 4: point because it's super preliminary and investigation. You know, all 1454 01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:58,680 Speaker 4: of us have thoughts of maybe why this happened, but 1455 01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:01,439 Speaker 4: we don't operate in a world where we can presume something. 1456 01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:05,439 Speaker 4: We have to determine it through investigation and specificity, and 1457 01:35:05,479 --> 01:35:08,320 Speaker 4: that is a work that's in progress as we speak. 1458 01:35:08,840 --> 01:35:12,200 Speaker 4: All of us will work seamlessly together to get the answers. 1459 01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:13,240 Speaker 3: And then it will be called what it is. 1460 01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:19,200 Speaker 4: Obviously it's a hateful or terror terrible thing, right, But 1461 01:35:19,439 --> 01:35:22,160 Speaker 4: what drove this person into action That has to be 1462 01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:23,640 Speaker 4: determined by the investigation. 1463 01:35:24,200 --> 01:35:25,880 Speaker 3: We can presume, but we. 1464 01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:28,400 Speaker 4: Have to find those facts, and that's going to happen 1465 01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:32,559 Speaker 4: over the next days in time, so we won't be 1466 01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:34,839 Speaker 4: able to get in a lot of the evidentiary questions. 1467 01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:39,320 Speaker 4: But we're available to make sure the community understands that 1468 01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:43,200 Speaker 4: we are stealing a very heightened platform. And the most 1469 01:35:43,200 --> 01:35:45,200 Speaker 4: important thing that I would tell the community, don't be 1470 01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:47,920 Speaker 4: afraid to call us. If we're not your own local 1471 01:35:47,960 --> 01:35:51,559 Speaker 4: police department, call your local police department. We'd rather respond 1472 01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:53,400 Speaker 4: to one hundred nothings than miss one. 1473 01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:55,280 Speaker 3: Real deal. The only way we. 1474 01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:58,959 Speaker 4: Prevent something like this is to get a call. Something's 1475 01:35:58,960 --> 01:36:02,360 Speaker 4: off with my on, my brother, my boyfriend, whatever the case. 1476 01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:06,440 Speaker 4: I saw something posted. That's the only way we interdict 1477 01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:09,160 Speaker 4: because people are more likely to see or hear something 1478 01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:13,040 Speaker 4: before us. So if you see or hear something, you 1479 01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:16,040 Speaker 4: have to communicate that and then we can intervene and 1480 01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:19,200 Speaker 4: hopefully prevent. But if we can't prevent, then we respond 1481 01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:22,280 Speaker 4: and mitigate. That's what happened today, and I think, based 1482 01:36:22,320 --> 01:36:24,560 Speaker 4: on the early information, it happened flawlessly. 1483 01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:25,559 Speaker 5: All right. 1484 01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:31,800 Speaker 1: That is the Sheriff of Oakland County updating on the investigation. 1485 01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:34,240 Speaker 1: I guess now, is this an update from the FBI? 1486 01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:36,320 Speaker 1: Lists very quickly go back to this press. 1487 01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:38,200 Speaker 13: Convict you how we got to where we are today. 1488 01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:41,599 Speaker 13: So today we received a nine one one call which 1489 01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:45,280 Speaker 13: came in around twelve nineteen pm. It was about an 1490 01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:48,559 Speaker 13: active shooter situation at Temple Israel where the individual drove 1491 01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:52,040 Speaker 13: into the building. West Boomfield officers arrived on scene under 1492 01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:56,200 Speaker 13: five minutes temple security officers engaged the individual and neutralize 1493 01:36:56,240 --> 01:37:00,360 Speaker 13: the threat. Our officers, combined with area agencies, cleared the 1494 01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:05,479 Speaker 13: building multiple times and safely and successfully evacuated all children 1495 01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:08,880 Speaker 13: and staff.

I will 1497 01:37:12,840 --> 01:37:15,000 Speaker 13: now turn this over to the FBI for further pow. 1498 01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:19,240 Speaker 3: Hello. 1499 01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:23,959 Speaker 14: My name is Jennifer Runyan, last name are U ny 1500 01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:26,640 Speaker 14: A N and I'm a Special Agent in charge of 1501 01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:30,360 Speaker 14: the FBI Detroit Field Office.

As my partners have said, 1509 01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:56,320 Speaker 14: this is an active and ongoing investigation with an active 1510 01:37:56,520 --> 01:37:59,320 Speaker 14: crime scene, and I ask for your patients as we 1511 01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:02,519 Speaker 14: process this evidence and pursue every lead that has come 1512 01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:06,080 Speaker 14: to us and that we have developed thus far.

We will 1516 01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:17,160 Speaker 14: not be able to provide additional information at this time 1517 01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:19,960 Speaker 14: on the subject or his motive, as our goal is 1518 01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:23,000 Speaker 14: to protect the integrity of this investigation and to ensure 1519 01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:25,800 Speaker 14: that we give you accurate and timely information as soon 1520 01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:29,719 Speaker 14: as we can.

We immediately activated and deployed all of our 1523 01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:40,759 Speaker 14: crisis response resources to include our SWAT team, our crisis 1524 01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:45,240 Speaker 14: negotiation team, our evidence response team, our special agent bomb techs, 1525 01:38:45,479 --> 01:38:49,799 Speaker 14: our Weapons of Mass Destruction team, our cellular analysis survey team, 1526 01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:52,439 Speaker 14: and our victim services, as well as more than one 1527 01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:55,679 Speaker 14: hundred agents and analysts to ensure that we are actively 1528 01:38:55,920 --> 01:38:59,879 Speaker 14: mitigating and responding to the active threat, but also pursuing 1529 01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:06,599 Speaker 14: diligently and methodically every lead that we have. My ask 1530 01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:09,519 Speaker 14: to the public is a few things. I know everyone 1531 01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:10,320 Speaker 14: wants information. 1532 01:39:10,439 --> 01:39:12,240 Speaker 3: Now, the guys that you be. 1533 01:39:12,200 --> 01:39:13,280 Speaker 5: Patient, all right. 1534 01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:18,960 Speaker 1: That is the FBI providing an update on the subject 1535 01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:24,760 Speaker 1: in the West Bloomfield, Michigan terror attack. He has apparently 1536 01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:32,400 Speaker 1: now been identified as Iman Gazzally aka Iman Ali al Gazi. 1537 01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:37,599 Speaker 1: He is a naturalized citizen of the United States from Lebanon. 1538 01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:44,200 Speaker 1: The Austin, Texas mass shooter from last week was a 1539 01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:51,160 Speaker 1: naturalized citizen. The two teenaged improvised explosive device bombers at 1540 01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:54,479 Speaker 1: the anti Islam rally outside Gracie Mansion in New York 1541 01:39:54,520 --> 01:39:59,200 Speaker 1: City over the weekend, the children of naturalized citizens. You 1542 01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:02,959 Speaker 1: have got four or terror attacks or attempted terror attacks 1543 01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:07,439 Speaker 1: in the United States, all committed by naturalized citizens or 1544 01:40:07,479 --> 01:40:11,080 Speaker 1: the children of naturalized citizens, all within the span of 1545 01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:16,240 Speaker 1: less than two weeks. Folks, We don't just have an 1546 01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:19,760 Speaker 1: illegal immigration problem in this country. We very clearly have 1547 01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:25,120 Speaker 1: a legal immigration problem in this country. Now I know 1548 01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:30,160 Speaker 1: it is. It is somewhat politically correct to say anything 1549 01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:33,719 Speaker 1: other than, well, all legal immigration is good and benefits 1550 01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:37,760 Speaker 1: the United States. That's clearly not the case, because there 1551 01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:42,479 Speaker 1: are people coming into this country who are very clearly 1552 01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:46,720 Speaker 1: incompatible with its values. That has nothing to do with 1553 01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:52,200 Speaker 1: a particular religion, although kind of tough to ignore that 1554 01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:56,320 Speaker 1: there is one religion that keeps motivating people to do 1555 01:40:56,479 --> 01:41:00,360 Speaker 1: things like this. And yes, I do love the FBI 1556 01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:02,800 Speaker 1: saying that, well, we do know that this was a 1557 01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:06,639 Speaker 1: targeted attack against the Jewish community, but we're still trying 1558 01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:09,080 Speaker 1: to figure out a motive. I'm fairly certain the motive 1559 01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:11,679 Speaker 1: was killing a lot of members of the Jewish community. 1560 01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:15,880 Speaker 1: I call me crazy. I'm no FBI agent, but I 1561 01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:21,360 Speaker 1: do have a fully functioning frontal cortex. This was a 1562 01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:28,520 Speaker 1: terror attack against the Jewish community. Muslims have been engaged 1563 01:41:28,720 --> 01:41:34,639 Speaker 1: in a long campaign to eradicate Jews. 1564 01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:38,120 Speaker 5: The quicker. We understand that the quicker. 1565 01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:43,920 Speaker 1: We accept that, not not all Muslims, not not even close, 1566 01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:49,439 Speaker 1: but enough in this country where we have to take 1567 01:41:49,439 --> 01:41:52,880 Speaker 1: a look and say, hey, there is something going on here, 1568 01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:58,200 Speaker 1: and we're so concerned about political correctness that just as 1569 01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:02,800 Speaker 1: you heard the Oakland County sheriff say, look, if you 1570 01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:07,240 Speaker 1: see something, if you see your neighbor who happens to 1571 01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:11,519 Speaker 1: be an Islamic guy and he appears to be loading 1572 01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:14,479 Speaker 1: up a whole lot of plutonium into the back of his. 1573 01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:17,320 Speaker 5: Van, maybe don't worry about. 1574 01:42:17,000 --> 01:42:21,120 Speaker 1: Being called an islamophobe. Call the FBI. Call nine to 1575 01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:25,000 Speaker 1: one one if you see that. Because what we've seen, 1576 01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:30,680 Speaker 1: especially since October seventh, is you have got substantial numbers 1577 01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:35,759 Speaker 1: of the Muslim community in this country being ever more 1578 01:42:35,840 --> 01:42:40,920 Speaker 1: brazen and ever more open about their just pure hatred 1579 01:42:41,040 --> 01:42:45,920 Speaker 1: of Jewish people, and quite frankly, the hatred against Jewish 1580 01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:50,120 Speaker 1: people on both the extreme political left and yes, the 1581 01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:53,600 Speaker 1: extreme political right. Oh no, no, no, Dan, we're not 1582 01:42:53,680 --> 01:42:58,920 Speaker 1: anti Semites, We're not anti Jewish, We're anti Zionists. Oh oh, 1583 01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:02,200 Speaker 1: so you just think that the state of Israel should 1584 01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:06,320 Speaker 1: not exist? What, pray tell, do you think should happen 1585 01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:08,519 Speaker 1: to all the Jewish people who live. 1586 01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:09,600 Speaker 5: In the State of Israel? 1587 01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:14,200 Speaker 1: Just by saying this, of course, there are going to 1588 01:43:14,240 --> 01:43:16,400 Speaker 1: be some members of this audience. Oh, Dan, it's just 1589 01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:20,120 Speaker 1: a Zionist. He's being paid off by Bibi net and Yahoo. 1590 01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:24,280 Speaker 1: Do you know I have been actually asked how many 1591 01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:28,680 Speaker 1: shekels I have gotten for expressing my support for the 1592 01:43:28,720 --> 01:43:33,439 Speaker 1: Iran war. Just people completely oblivious to just how anti 1593 01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:41,559 Speaker 1: Semitic and insane that sounds. People just it's just, frankly, 1594 01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:45,720 Speaker 1: it pisses me off. And the same people who are 1595 01:43:45,840 --> 01:43:50,000 Speaker 1: so concerned, Oh can't say this, Oh you don't want 1596 01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:54,200 Speaker 1: to be racist. You can't dare bring up you can't 1597 01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:58,840 Speaker 1: dare bring up the crime statistics that paint a very 1598 01:43:58,960 --> 01:44:01,280 Speaker 1: clear picture about crime in America. 1599 01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:02,760 Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, no, no no. 1600 01:44:04,120 --> 01:44:07,560 Speaker 1: But at the same time, the same people, the same liberals, 1601 01:44:09,280 --> 01:44:13,880 Speaker 1: just saying the most awful things about Jewish people, and 1602 01:44:14,120 --> 01:44:16,640 Speaker 1: I just it's it's irritating. All right, we're gonna get 1603 01:44:16,680 --> 01:44:18,479 Speaker 1: back on schedule. I did not realize there was going 1604 01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:21,559 Speaker 1: to be an update from the FBI and officials in Michigan. 1605 01:44:21,640 --> 01:44:23,559 Speaker 1: There we are going to get you the latest on 1606 01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:28,200 Speaker 1: the massive sexual abuse scandal at Oconto Falls High School. 1607 01:44:28,520 --> 01:44:30,680 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Dan o'donald Show.

He wants to run away with her. I mean, 1653 01:47:28,920 --> 01:47:32,960 Speaker 1: this is just classic grooming behavior, which, by the way, 1654 01:47:33,280 --> 01:47:36,360 Speaker 1: is now criminal thanks to a bill that was introduced 1655 01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:39,639 Speaker 1: by state assembly Woman Amanda ned Wesky and signed into 1656 01:47:39,720 --> 01:47:44,040 Speaker 1: law by Governor Evers' last week.

Just grooming a child for 1658 01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:53,800 Speaker 1: future potential sexual contact would be a crime. Now Amanda 1659 01:47:53,880 --> 01:47:57,120 Speaker 1: is alleging that this tech education teacher did in fact 1660 01:47:57,680 --> 01:48:01,960 Speaker 1: commit sexual assault like he did statutorily. Raper he did 1661 01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:04,839 Speaker 1: commit sexual we don't call it statutory rape here in Wisconsin, 1662 01:48:04,880 --> 01:48:07,200 Speaker 1: we call it sexual abuse of a child. That he 1663 01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:12,360 Speaker 1: did in fact commit this, and she says, look, since 1664 01:48:12,400 --> 01:48:18,880 Speaker 1: the investigation found additional victims and additional perpetrators at the 1665 01:48:18,920 --> 01:48:23,720 Speaker 1: Oconto Falls School District, that this lawsuit needed to be fun. 1666 01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:25,920 Speaker 10: It's got to stop, right So it takes somebody to 1667 01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:28,320 Speaker 10: have the courage to step up and stop it. Otherwise 1668 01:48:28,360 --> 01:48:31,000 Speaker 10: it's going to continue for another twenty years and then 1669 01:48:31,080 --> 01:48:34,320 Speaker 10: other plaintiffs will be in their their motherhood or their 1670 01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:38,000 Speaker 10: later years and uncover the trauma that they experienced in 1671 01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:41,600 Speaker 10: their earlier years. And I just want to prevent that 1672 01:48:41,640 --> 01:48:44,799 Speaker 10: as much as possible because it has impacted my life greatly. 1673 01:48:45,240 --> 01:48:49,479 Speaker 1: What is absolutely staggering right now is that there has not, been, 1674 01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:52,040 Speaker 1: to my knowledge, a single member of the media in 1675 01:48:52,080 --> 01:48:55,759 Speaker 1: Wisconsin to stick a microphone in doctor Jill Underley's face, 1676 01:48:55,840 --> 01:49:01,040 Speaker 1: the state's superintendent and say, look, you said that DPI, 1677 01:49:01,400 --> 01:49:06,120 Speaker 1: in contradiction of the investigative report by cap Times over 1678 01:49:06,160 --> 01:49:10,360 Speaker 1: the fall, that DPI was not covering up child sex 1679 01:49:10,400 --> 01:49:14,720 Speaker 1: abusers in public schools. Here we have a massive and 1680 01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:18,759 Speaker 1: I mean massive cover up of quite possibly the worst 1681 01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:21,840 Speaker 1: teacher sex abuse scandal in the history of the state. 1682 01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:25,679 Speaker 1: And this comes not in a vacuum, but as you're 1683 01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:30,360 Speaker 1: promising to increase transparency. Were any of these teachers in 1684 01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:35,080 Speaker 1: Oconto Falls ever investigated by DPI? Did any of the 1685 01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:37,760 Speaker 1: complaints ever rise to the level of the Department of 1686 01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:41,519 Speaker 1: Public Instruction? Because the cap Times investigation only looked at 1687 01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:45,280 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen to twenty twenty three, and to my knowledge, 1688 01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:49,760 Speaker 1: the three named victims, the three plaintiffs in this lawsuit 1689 01:49:50,160 --> 01:49:54,200 Speaker 1: were alleging sexual misconduct from twenty ten to twenty thirteen 1690 01:49:54,400 --> 01:49:58,240 Speaker 1: from Amanda, and then there were two other defendants, one 1691 01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:00,599 Speaker 1: of whom was in high school and being abused by 1692 01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:03,760 Speaker 1: the assistant volleyball coach at about the same time. The 1693 01:50:03,920 --> 01:50:07,799 Speaker 1: other was alleging abuse that stopped when she left Oconto 1694 01:50:07,880 --> 01:50:13,439 Speaker 1: Falls High School in twenty eighteen. Is it possible that 1695 01:50:13,520 --> 01:50:17,280 Speaker 1: this assistant volleyball coach or this tech education teacher were 1696 01:50:17,360 --> 01:50:22,120 Speaker 1: referred for investigation to DPI. If cap Times had looked 1697 01:50:22,120 --> 01:50:24,920 Speaker 1: into the years twenty ten to twenty eighteen, would they 1698 01:50:24,920 --> 01:50:27,080 Speaker 1: find them and they were just let right back into 1699 01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:29,720 Speaker 1: the Oconto Falls School District to go right back to 1700 01:50:29,800 --> 01:50:34,400 Speaker 1: teaching and right back to sexually abusing students. These are 1701 01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:37,840 Speaker 1: questions that need to be answered, and by God, Jill 1702 01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:43,360 Speaker 1: Underley had better start answering them. Welcome back to the 1703 01:50:43,439 --> 01:50:47,559 Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show. The Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team gets 1704 01:50:47,560 --> 01:50:49,880 Speaker 1: a win in the Big Ten Tournament over Washington. They 1705 01:50:49,920 --> 01:50:53,639 Speaker 1: advanced to play Illinois. They are very much on the bubble. 1706 01:50:53,680 --> 01:50:56,120 Speaker 1: I think it's far more likely that they are in 1707 01:50:57,680 --> 01:51:02,479 Speaker 1: rather than being out. The Marquete Golden Eagles, unfortunately, sort 1708 01:51:02,520 --> 01:51:05,439 Speaker 1: of a nightmare season for them comes to an end 1709 01:51:05,479 --> 01:51:09,040 Speaker 1: with a loss in the Big East Tournament to Xavier. 1710 01:51:09,240 --> 01:51:12,280 Speaker 1: Some good news though, Nigel James Junior named Big East 1711 01:51:12,320 --> 01:51:14,880 Speaker 1: Freshman of the Year, so that the future does seem bright. 1712 01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:18,240 Speaker 1: Couldn't be much darker this year for the Golden Eagles. 1713 01:51:18,280 --> 01:51:21,200 Speaker 1: My beloved Golden Eagles, of course, I am a very 1714 01:51:21,280 --> 01:51:26,160 Speaker 1: proud alum. Big sports news in the NFL, Kyler Murray 1715 01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:29,720 Speaker 1: cut by the Arizona Cardinals. Guess which team he just 1716 01:51:29,840 --> 01:51:34,559 Speaker 1: signed with about an hour ago, the Minnesota Vikings, where 1717 01:51:34,600 --> 01:51:38,920 Speaker 1: he is expected to compete with former first round pick 1718 01:51:39,160 --> 01:51:44,120 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. Murray is signing a one year deal with 1719 01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:48,040 Speaker 1: the Vikes, sort of a prove it contract. This has 1720 01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:53,080 Speaker 1: all the hallmarks of a classic quarterback competition in training camp, 1721 01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:57,719 Speaker 1: and when your options are Jj McCarthy and Kyler Murray, 1722 01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:03,479 Speaker 1: I'm feeling pretty darn good as a green Bay Packers fan. Packers, though, 1723 01:52:03,479 --> 01:52:06,840 Speaker 1: have been very very quiet in free agency. In fact, 1724 01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:10,960 Speaker 1: the biggest name signing that they've had is Sky Moore. 1725 01:52:11,840 --> 01:52:13,559 Speaker 5: Do you realize with. 1726 01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:18,680 Speaker 1: The loss of all of the players that they have 1727 01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:22,800 Speaker 1: in free agency? The longest tenured Green Bay Packer right 1728 01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:26,960 Speaker 1: now is Jordan Love. He was drafted in twenty twenty. 1729 01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:29,519 Speaker 1: He has been with the Packers the longest. They do 1730 01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:32,400 Speaker 1: not have anybody who has been with this team for 1731 01:52:32,439 --> 01:52:35,960 Speaker 1: more than six years. That's actually kind of amazing. The 1732 01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:39,519 Speaker 1: Packers did have one of the very youngest teams in 1733 01:52:39,560 --> 01:52:44,599 Speaker 1: the NFL, but with half of their defensive line now 1734 01:52:44,600 --> 01:52:49,840 Speaker 1: on the Dallas Cowboys, Kenny Clark is there and help 1735 01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:50,160 Speaker 1: me out. 1736 01:52:50,160 --> 01:52:50,559 Speaker 5: Who else? 1737 01:52:50,680 --> 01:52:53,360 Speaker 1: Just Rashan Gary, thank you, thank you. Rashan Gary was 1738 01:52:53,360 --> 01:52:57,479 Speaker 1: the number one pick in twenty nineteen, so he and 1739 01:52:57,640 --> 01:53:01,160 Speaker 1: Clark were the last two players who were longer tenured 1740 01:53:01,800 --> 01:53:05,680 Speaker 1: than Jordan Love. Doesn't really look like anybody in the 1741 01:53:05,800 --> 01:53:09,760 Speaker 1: NFC North dramatically has improved themselves in free agency. You 1742 01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:13,680 Speaker 1: really can't tell, to be perfectly honest with you. The 1743 01:53:13,680 --> 01:53:17,759 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions they lost well, the Bears lost their starting center. 1744 01:53:17,800 --> 01:53:21,120 Speaker 1: The Lions lost their starting center. The Lions lost one 1745 01:53:21,120 --> 01:53:24,120 Speaker 1: of their two stud running backs in David Montgomery. He 1746 01:53:24,280 --> 01:53:26,880 Speaker 1: signs with the was it Tennessee or Houston? Houston, I 1747 01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:30,679 Speaker 1: believe he signed with. It's always difficult to keep up 1748 01:53:30,840 --> 01:53:34,320 Speaker 1: with all of the free agency news, especially with some 1749 01:53:34,360 --> 01:53:37,040 Speaker 1: of those like second tier players, Like obviously you hear 1750 01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:39,960 Speaker 1: about the Big Now everybody knew about the Max Crosby 1751 01:53:40,080 --> 01:53:43,759 Speaker 1: trade that got rejected. Like when it's a superstar going 1752 01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:46,880 Speaker 1: from one team to another. Trey Hendrickson signs with the 1753 01:53:47,360 --> 01:53:51,599 Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, very very good defensive lineman, edge rusher late 1754 01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:54,040 Speaker 1: of the Cincinnati Bengals. When it's some of these sort 1755 01:53:54,040 --> 01:53:57,360 Speaker 1: of second tier players difficult to keep track of. Friday 1756 01:53:57,479 --> 01:53:59,920 Speaker 1: edition of the Dan O'Donnell Show, coming up to my 1757 01:54:00,040 --> 01:54:03,759 Speaker 1: or We'll get you ready for the potential weekend blizzard. 1758 01:54:03,800 --> 01:54:05,639 Speaker 1: Starting at three oh six tomorrow. 1759 01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:07,200 Speaker 5: We will talk to you. Then here on the Dan 1760 01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:08,040 Speaker 5: o'donald show,
