1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Good Wednesday afternoon, you exceptional Americans.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: How do you do here?

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 1: It is baby hump Day. No, Bill Clinton, that is

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: not what you think it is. Get out of the

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: hot tub, Buddy, out of the hot tub, back into

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: your files. Friend. Hi, I'm Mad Kittle, your radio talk

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: show host Phil and Daddy, the lesser known, less talented Kittle,

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: and I'm glad to be back with you on this Wednesday,

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: March fourth, two thousand and twenty six. Now with a

10
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: fraud a Medicaid fraud free guarantee. How about that? Oh,

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: We've got much to talk about today and we're gonna

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: get down to it here. I want to tell you

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: what's coming up a little bit later on in the show.

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: We are just getting started. The words of Secretary of

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: War Pete Hegseath at a press conference this morning, laying

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: out here his vision of the war in Iran. Hegseeth

17
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: was joined by General Dan Kin, chairman of the Joint

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs of Staff, to give an update on developments in

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: the Joint US Israel Operation Epic Fury. The Federalist White

20
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: House correspondent Breckin Thieves was there. He's always there, covering

21
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: the Pentagon. The White House, a lot of the comings

22
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: and goings in DC, and he'll join us. Coming up

23
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: in just a few minutes on the DAN. O'donald shown

24
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: coming up a little bit later in the hour. Oh yes,

25
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: haven't talked to this gentleman in a long time. I

26
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: am looking forward to talking to him. It has been

27
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: too long. Representative Bob Donovan, a Greenfield Republican and a

28
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: longtime former Milwaukee Council member, will join us to talk

29
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: about the lunacy of the council that he was a

30
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: member of. It's only gotten wars. You know that this

31
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Common Council has a vendetta against ice. They want

32
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: to abolish ice, and they moved closer to that, at

33
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: least in their own minds yesterday. We'll talk more about

34
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: that and what that ultimately means to public safety Council

35
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: members yesterday and we'll discuss this more made these bold assertions.

36
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: That is to say, the leftist leaders of Milwaukee need

37
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: to make sure that everyone is safe in Milwaukee. What

38
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: they are doing exposes a lot of Milwaukeeans to more

39
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: crime and violence. So there's that the best laid plans

40
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: of mice and men.

41
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: Or the.

42
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: Road to Hell paved with good intentions. A little bit

43
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: later on in the show, it's a win for parental rights.

44
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court this week blocked California's law requiring public

45
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: schools to secretly transition children without their parents' knowledge. We

46
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: know all about this in Wisconsin and elsewhere. This has

47
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: been a horrendous policy, horrendous law, and it has to end.

48
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court said as much. Under long established precedent, parents,

49
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: not the state, have primary authority with respect to the

50
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: upbringing and education of children, the majority said in an

51
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: unsigned opinion. JCN President Carrie Severino, who has extensively worked

52
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: in this legal field and covered this area, will join

53
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: us coming up in the four o'clock hour for a

54
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: little perspective on the landmark Mirabelli versus Banta. And then

55
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: there was an interesting Oversight Committee hearing today and Washington,

56
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: d C. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer absolutely grilled

57
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: Tim Walls, who is a fraud presiding over a massive

58
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: fraud scandal in the state of Minnesota. We'll get to

59
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: some of that audio and a little perspective on that

60
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: coming up in just a bit, But.

61
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: Are you ready for a little primary action? Oh?

62
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I am not. It's gonna be a long year

63
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: as a political reporter. I can tell you this already.

64
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: We are just two plus months in. It already has

65
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: been a long year on the political reporting scene. It

66
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: is drinking from a fire hose every day. Last night began.

67
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: The first Foray, the first.

68
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: Of many prime to come across the great United States

69
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: of America, Texas, Arkansas, and others. Texas, of course we

70
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: will focus in on because you have some very interesting

71
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: races there, some very contentious races, and I think races

72
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: for the soul of America. We get more and more

73
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: of those. Of course, in the Senate race, where you

74
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: have kind of how do I describe him, I'm a

75
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: milk toast, that's it. A milk toast conservative down there,

76
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,679
Speaker 1: who's been in that seat for a long time, Cornyn.

77
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: And then you got Paxton. He's the attorney general. He

78
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: is liked by a lot of the conservative base. He

79
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: is hated by the establishment. And so you have that

80
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: clashing right there. On the other side, you have crazy

81
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: and Batgwana crazy Jasmine Sonny Crockett. Well she's in this

82
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: thing no more, but now she's talking about rigged elections instead.

83
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: She was defeated by James Gandolfini. No, that's not true

84
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: at all. Every time I hear this guy's name, I

85
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: want to call him James Gandelfini for some reason, and

86
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 1: I don't know why that is. But in the race

87
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: for Senate on the Democrat side, you have, or at

88
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: least Texas had the choices, the stark choices, two of them.

89
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen to Choice A. If we could

90
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: get a sense of what Texas is going through. How

91
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: about some sound.

92
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 4: There like, oh, political violence. It's the Democrats and it's

93
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: the liberals, and it's like, actually, gosh, actually actually, I

94
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 4: mean I'm not gonna say that like a left leaning

95
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 4: person cannot be violent, because that would be like crazy

96
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: to say that somebody can't be But babe, babe, y'all

97
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 4: got the white supremacist galore, Okay, like all of them.

98
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: You got the proud Boys, you got you got the

99
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 4: neo Nazis. You have people that literally should be classified

100
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: as domestic terrorists because a lot of times that is

101
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 4: what they are doing. They're engaging in domestic terrorism. And

102
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 4: guess what they all align with your side? Yeah, including

103
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 4: the KKK solo.

104
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: Babe, baby, let me correct the record. They're the KKK

105
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: was actually created by your side, the Democrat Party in

106
00:07:54,600 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 2: the Deep South. The Republicans, of course, had some issues

107
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: with the KKK, tried to stop him until a great bargain,

108
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: a great presidential bargain back in the latter eighteen hundreds.

109
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: All of that said, there is your Jasmine Crockett. She

110
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: did not emerge victorious, and not surprisingly, she is insisting

111
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: that the election now was rigged by white supremacist including Stephen.

112
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: Colbert, who is being we'll talk about this letter now

113
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: being accused of helping to rig the election for his

114
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: preferred white Christian nationalist that gentleman's name on the ballot

115
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: for Texas Senator. Interesting fellow, James tall Rico. This is

116
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: a guy who has been shaking his fist at conservative Christians.

117
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: They are wrong. He says, they are bad for America.

118
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: This is what the new Christianity sounds like on the left.

119
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: And keep in mind what's really in play for liberals

120
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: in this country. They picked up on something that America

121
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: is tired of liberals, particularly godless liberals, and so they said,

122
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: you know what we could do. We could fake like

123
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: we're Christian and we can make up all kinds of

124
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: things that aren't in the Bible, and we'll call it

125
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: Christianity and we'll run on that. And that's what James

126
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: has done in Tennessee. We have a little audio, little

127
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: sample of what James Tallerico has to offer. Yeah, here

128
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: we go.

129
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 5: Before we go further, I want to acknowledge that our

130
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 5: trans community needs abortion care too. Defending trans Texas is something.

131
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: We have to do every day.

132
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 5: Before we go further, I want to acknowledge here goes

133
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 5: our trans community needs abortion care too.

134
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: The sounds a little low. Let me repeat that if

135
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: you missed it. James tell Rico, who is now the

136
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: Democrats candidate for US Senate and Texas, said at the

137
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: pulpit that transgender Americans need abortion care too. That is

138
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: to say that dudes pretending to be ladies need abortion

139
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: care too. This is the Left's answer to religion in politics,

140
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: and it's going to be an interest race. Perhaps we'll

141
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: play more sound from this fella and others as we

142
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: move forward. Next though, we want to get the latest

143
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: on what is happening in the war in Iran straight ahead.

144
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: One of the great reporters in the swamp right now

145
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: Breckon thieves will join us. He was at the press

146
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: conference where Secretary of War Pete Hegseeth spoke today about

147
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: Operation Epic Fury, not Epic Furry, which is I think

148
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: a plan that James Tellerico has if he is elected. Anyway,

149
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: we'll delve into all of this straight ahead. Keep it

150
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: right here with yours truly, Matt Kittle here on the

151
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show. I'm almost excited to do a little

152
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: clog dancing over here. Huh. I am the Lord of

153
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: the dance. We're keeping it real, we are keeping it

154
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: right on this Wednesday edition of the Dan o'donalds Show

155
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,040

156
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: getting started. Yes, we are on the Dani o'donnald Show

157
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: this afternoon. But that's what Pete Hegseth said. Secretary of

158
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: War Pete hegg Seth at a press conference this morning

159
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: at the Pentagon, laying out his vision of the war

160
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: in Iran. Heg Seth was joined by General Dan Kin,

161
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to give an

162
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: update on developments in the joint US Israel Operation Epic Fury.

163
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: The Federalist White House correspondent Brecon These was there and

164
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: he joins us now, good afternoon, sir, Thank you so

165
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: much for joining us, especially from the swamp. Hello, Brecon,

166
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 1: are you there a little technical difficulty? It sounds like

167
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: we'll get to Brecon on the line here. We're working

168
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: on it right now. You know, sometimes that swamp, with

169
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: all the sewage running in and out of it these days,

170
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: it gets a little snarky, gets a little tricky, and

171
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: so every once in a while it's a difficult connection

172
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: to make from deep inside the cesspool that is our

173
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: nation's capital. Again, at the press conference today, Pete Hegseth,

174
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: the Secretary of War, provided an update and a very

175
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: rosy picture of how things are going. Recon. I believe

176
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: you are there now, aren't you, sir.

177
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 6: H.

178
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the press briefing with he today, And I

179
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: was also press creeping with kroen Leven.

180
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 7: At the White House today.

181
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: They both addressed sort of some of the similar topics

182
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 3: regarding the Iran war.

183
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 7: Of course, that's what everyone in DC is talking about

184
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 7: right now.

185
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: It is everybody everywhere is talking about it because you know,

186
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: we have a number of questions that have been and

187
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: some have been answered, many have not been answered, and

188
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: you have reported on that. You can find all of

189
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: Brecon's great work, of course at the Federalist dot com.

190
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: But did he get to the key questions, number one

191
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: being what is the number one priority? What is the goal?

192
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: What is the number one objective here?

193
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 6: Uh?

194
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 3: You know, I mean people in the administration hagscepth included,

195
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: will say that they have answered that question. I don't

196
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: know that it's sufficient to a lot of people. I

197
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 3: think a lot of people are wondering, you know, what

198
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: dragged us into this war? You know, I thought that

199
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 3: we destroyed their nuclear capabilities back in Operation Midnight Hammer

200
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: over the summer, but apparently they were close to getting

201
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: and you grow up in this time, it's not totally

202
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: clear what the immediate threat was althout some mole site

203
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: that they were, you know, close to attacking Israel.

204
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 7: And so that's why.

205
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 3: I mean, to be honest, the kind of communications from

206
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 3: senior officials in the administration and also people that are

207
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 3: using as steering it on this issue, like Senator Ted Cruiz,

208
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: have kind of had a lot of different stories.

209
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 7: You know, maybe they all.

210
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: Match up somehow, but it's not not quite clear. What

211
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: is super clear, though, is that given what Secretary has

212
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: that's the saying this morning, is that this this conflict,

213
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: this war is far from ever Actually they're they're escalating

214
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: the issue this week, and that it doesn't look like

215
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 3: there's really any end in sight for America and involvement

216
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: in Iran.

217
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. I heard the same from Secretary of State Marco

218
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: Rubio today, who said things are really going to look

219
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: different here in a couple of days, asserting that the

220
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,239
Speaker 1: firepower we have seen so far in this joint military

221
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: campaign is going to ramp up, and it's going to

222
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: ramp up pretty heavily, and Iran won't know that, at

223
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: least the evil regime won't know what hit them. Was

224
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: that the sense that you were getting from Hegseth today

225
00:15:59,480 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: as well?

226
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 6: Yeah?

227
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean he made the same point, and actually

228
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: he kind of opened this up. There have been a

229
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 3: bizarre comparisons among some in the administration, including Hanks up

230
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 3: today to the Iraq war, which I'm not sure is

231
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 3: a very popular comparison to be making, but they're doing

232
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 3: it anyway. And he said that Operation Epic Fury, the

233
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: current one, opened up with twice the air power of

234
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: the Shakana campaign of two thousand and three, and then

235
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 3: they said, over the course of this week, America and

236
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 3: Israel will have complete and total control of Iranian airspace,

237
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: which Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Keynes,

238
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: that will allow.

239
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 6: Them to.

240
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: Strike targets further inland. So if you look at the map,

241
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 3: which they provided a map, it's in my right of

242
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: this today a lot of the strikes have been sort

243
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: of on the western the southwestern edge of the Rand,

244
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: which is basically near the sea and like where you know,

245
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 3: everyone knows about the straight of pore Mews and things

246
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 3: like that, and so their air superiority will now allow

247
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 3: them to to make to strike further inland and and

248
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 3: and hit targets there. So again, uh, you know, again

249
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 3: they're not saying that there are ground shoots coming in

250
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: at this point. They're not taking it off the table either,

251
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: but it does look like we're moving further and further inland.

252
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: And again, everything except was saying today was like, you know,

253
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 3: this isn't over. We're escalating, we're not we're not backing down.

254
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 7: But but on the end of that, you know.

255
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: When asked, you know, okay, what's what does victory look like?

256
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 3: What does the end.

257
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 7: Of that look like?

258
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 3: The story gets a little muddled, and people like, you know,

259
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 3: Press Secretary Caroline Levitton, it was asked the same question

260
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 3: and she's like, well, we've we've laid out these goals

261
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 3: which are a little bit vague too. But but again no, no, like, okay,

262
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: what's the what's the ultimate goal? What does what does

263
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: Iran look like? After you know, the the Trump administration

264
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 3: Israel are satisfied with the situation there.

265
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: That's a great question. Breck and Thieves. At the Pentagon

266
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: briefing today with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and General

267
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: Dan Kine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, they

268
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: laid out at least somewhat what has happened thus far

269
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: and kind of where they're going with this. You know,

270
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: we heard a lot about regime change and whatever side

271
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: you're on on that, there are plenty of folks who

272
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: don't care for regime change using the military using the

273
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: government to do that. Others are are very excited about it.

274
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: Let's face it, there's no love loss for the Ayatola,

275
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: the avuncular Ayahtola as the new York Times refers to

276
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: as but all of that said, this leaves a vacuum

277
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: they got, apparently, according to the Pentagon, yesterday they knocked

278
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: out dozens of leadership, all deciding to meet to quickly

279
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: try to replace the dead Eyetola. Who is is Heig's

280
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: talking about? Who is filling that vacuum of leadership and

281
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: what that looks like in terms of this campaign.

282
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: No one, No one is talking about that, at least

283
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 3: on the American side. Now they're fen reports that Kamanie's

284
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 3: son is sort of in the running for that. They

285
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: are also asked about the current president of a Rand

286
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 3: who some people regarded as a reformer. He's only dinners

287
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four when their previous partident died in

288
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: a helicopter crash. I believe so the American the American government,

289
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: the Trump administration isn't talking about, you know what the

290
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 3: next regime looks like. The closest we can gain think

291
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 3: it's President Trump saying.

292
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 7: That he wants or his sort of hope is that.

293
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 3: The Iranian people will overthrow their government. And and but

294
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 3: you know, again, it's totally unclear, not that it doesn't exist,

295
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 3: but it's very unclear.

296
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 7: Who among sort of the more.

297
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 3: Secular dissidents in Iran would lead the country after a

298
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 3: successful coup, if that can even happen. That's one of

299
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 3: the main questions that that pretty much everyone has, you know,

300
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: and it gets to okay, what's the ends look like here?

301
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: And that's why a lot of people are internity like, well,

302
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: we don't have an end in site. I mean, it

303
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 3: seems like we're getting into a you know, people have

304
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 3: compared it to Libya. I don't think Iran is as

305
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: bad as Libya. I mean, Libya is a failed state.

306
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: After the Obama administration took out Kadapi there there was

307
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 3: no successor at all and had just turned into like

308
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 3: warlords planning parts of the country. Iran is a lot

309
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 3: more sophisticated country, has also been a very successful country

310
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: up until nineteen seventy nine. Who is very westernized. People

311
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 3: there are very smart academically, there are a lot there

312
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 3: are a lot more set up for success among their populace,

313
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 3: and they would be and people. A's not a totally

314
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 3: great comparison, I will say, But again, you know, that

315
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 3: is a question that everyone has and no one has

316
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 3: an answer to. In the American government as will basically,

317
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 3: you know, we're not there yet, kind of you know,

318
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens.

319
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: Wasn't Comad's son, Didn't he have some trouble with the law.

320
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: Didn't he get caught with some cocaine in the mosque?

321
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: Or is that another leader I'm thinking about here now, Yeah,

322
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: that's that's that's probably yeah. No, come to think of

323
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: it as that it was a Joe Biden. It was

324
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: a different circumstance. Altogether.

325
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: We have heard a lot about who is.

326
00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: Running this operation. There have been questions about whether this

327
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: is fully led by the units. Obviously it's a joint

328
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: effort between Israel and the United States military, but there

329
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: has been a lot of talk, and it seemed like

330
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Rubio had suggested as much before that

331
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: Israel was going to go ahead with this no matter what,

332
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: and America, if you want to come along, that's fantastic.

333
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: We'd love to have you here, but we're going to

334
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: do this either way. And then Trump and the Pentagon said, well,

335
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: hold on a second here, they're backing off on any

336
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: of that talk. In fact, the people I'm talking to,

337
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: they're they're not real happy with that. That sentiment expressed,

338
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: what are you hearing on that front?

339
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 3: I'm pretty much hearing that exact thing. I mean, I

340
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 3: don't know if it's sort of from Rubio and from others,

341
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 3: because others have said another cabinet people and other people

342
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 3: in the administration have basically said out loud that yeah,

343
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 3: this was this is kind of Israel's idea, and even

344
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 3: things down to President Trump saying, you know, when responding

345
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 3: to why didn't the US have a plan to evacuate

346
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 3: you know, a State Department personnel from the region and

347
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 3: things like that.

348
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 7: You know, President Trump.

349
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 3: Said, well, all everything happened so quickly, and that questions like, okay,

350
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 3: well did we not know when this was going to

351
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 3: happen and we had to get in front of Israel

352
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: doing it unilaterally? And then because we didn't want that

353
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 3: to happen, we sort of took the lead on it.

354
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 7: I mean, I will say, I mean Pete.

355
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: Hegsas earlier today as a press conference did say something

356
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 3: that suggests the same and I'll.

357
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 7: Just quote here really quick. He said, to our steadfast.

358
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 3: Partner, Israel, your mission is being executed with unmapped skill

359
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: and iron determination, fighting shoulder to shoulder such a capable

360
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 3: ally as a true force multiplier.

361
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 7: And the breath of fresh air.

362
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: We salute your courage and your contribution for and we

363
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 3: have only just begun to fight. So, I mean, he

364
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 3: said your mission is being executed.

365
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 7: And you know, I guess it.

366
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if he means that you know, this

367
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: whole thing was Israel's idea or but you know Israel

368
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 3: is doing their part for their part of this. It's

369
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: harder to tell. But I mean, you know, the way

370
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 3: he was talking is that you.

371
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 7: Know it's a reel mission.

372
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 6: I don't know.

373
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 3: That's a That's another great question and one that is

374
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 3: not you know, kind of falling on friendly years of

375
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 3: many of the American people who are are pretty tired

376
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 3: of being pulled into Middle Eastern conflicts by Israel.

377
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you this, in Iran with nuclear weapons

378
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: isn't anything that I want to see, and I think

379
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: most people don't want to see. I don't want to

380
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: see tens of thousands of innocent people murdered in the

381
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: street for saying we've had enough of this evil regime.

382
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: But all of that said, I hope we have a plan.

383
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: I hope we have a real good plan and that

384
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: this overwhelming force we keep hearing about is successful and

385
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: we get the hell out of there as quickly as possible.

386
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: Recon thank you so much for your time and your expertise.

387
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: Always appreciate it, and stay well in the swamp, my friend,

388
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: thank you, Reckon these excellent reporter white House a correspondent.

389
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: He covers everything on that front for the Federalist. We'll

390
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: take a quick break. Coming up straight ahead a conversation

391
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: with an old friend, Representative State Representative Bob Donovan. We're

392
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: going to talk about the crazy times here in the

393
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: city of Milwaukee, the abolish defund ice capital of Wisconsin.

394
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: Right now, straight ahead in this edition of the Dan

395
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: O'donnalds Show with your old Radiomego Matt Kittle, stay with

396
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: us doing that voodoo that we do so well. It's

397
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show on this Wednesday. Kittle, here you

398
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: are there, Glad you're along with us. We've got much

399
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: to accomplish yet. Now let's turn our attention to the

400
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: wackiness that is the Milwaukee Common Council. No whacky is

401
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: a fun kind of connotation to it. This is nutty,

402
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 1: nutty stuff. But you're used to that. In Milwaukee, the

403
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: Common Council continues its war on federal immigration law enforcers.

404
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: Leftist in charge of Wisconsin's largest city are prioritizing dangerous

405
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: virtue signaling over public safety. Council on Tuesday unanimously not

406
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: a voice of objection anywhere in this thing. The Council

407
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution calling for the abolition

408
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. They want

409
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: to abolish, and they're requesting the agency quote avoid conducting

410
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: immigration enforcement actions in the city. And that means even

411
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: if we have violent illegal immigrants who have committed horrible crimes,

412
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: get out. Ice is the line of thinking here from

413
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: these liberals. Bob Donovan knows this council very well. He's

414
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: served on it for a long time. Greenfield Republican joins

415
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: us now in the Dan O'Donnell Show. Good afternoon, sir,

416
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: it's been a while. Good to talk to you.

417
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 6: Well, thanks so much, Matt. Yes, it's been a while,

418
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 6: and I couldn't agree more. The Milwaukee Common Council has

419
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 6: gone off the deep end.

420
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, well, I guess that's the question

421
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: I have for you as a state lawmaker. Now, can

422
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: the state intervene and save Milwaukee from itself, quite frankly,

423
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: or they the citizens of Milwaukee from a virtue signaling

424
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: common Council Because you know, we heard yesterday from a

425
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 1: number of council members that the reason they're doing this, Bob,

426
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: is they want to make sure that everybody in Milwaukee

427
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: is safe, even as they go about freeing violent criminals

428
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: through this open door criminal justice policy, criminal illegal immigrants

429
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: who have gone on to hurt and to kill milwaukee

430
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: ites and others. So they're not really making sure that

431
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: everyone is safe, are they? In Milwaukee?

432
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 6: Not in the least. And let me tell you what's

433
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 6: most frustrating to me is the fact that in my

434
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 6: travels through Milwaukee, sadly, I see the prostitution, the street

435
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 6: drug dealing, the boarded up businesses and homes. I see

436
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 6: the litter and the illegal dumping. I see the potholes,

437
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 6: and how they're spending a fortune on these ridiculous bumpouts

438
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 6: to re engineer the streets of Milwaukee. Let me tell

439
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 6: you this, there is nothing wrong with the engineering of

440
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 6: the streets of Milwaukee as long as you drive appropriately.

441
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 6: But they don't have the police to do the necessary

442
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 6: traffic enforcement. They have cut back and they can't because

443
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 6: they are so crazy to the left. They don't have

444
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 6: the backs of our police officers, and the cops know it.

445
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 6: They can't get the recruit classes in place, they can't

446
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 6: get the individuals to become cops. I think largely because

447
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 6: they have displayed a really an animosity towards police, a

448
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 6: tendency to blame police as the problem. And of course

449
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 6: this translates to our federal partners. So I think it's outrageous.

450
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 6: I wish the Common Council would wake up and get

451
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 6: back to basics and start doing their job. But sadly, Matt,

452
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 6: they have and I've seen it over a period of years.

453
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 6: I've seen the transition from a lot of decent, common

454
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 6: sense aldermen cared about their neighborhoods, wanted to do the

455
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 6: right thing, took care of business, took care of the basics.

456
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 6: That's all gone to the wayside. Now you've got a

457
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 6: lot of ideological far left radicals, lunatics in my estimation

458
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 6: in certain instances, and that's what's supposedly leading the city

459
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 6: of Milwaukee. And have has anyone heard any comment from

460
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 6: the mayor on any of this stuff. Oh my lord,

461
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 6: you know he's made turned timidity into a fine art.

462
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 6: It's just a sad state of affairs for in my estimation,

463
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 6: a once great city.

464
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,719
Speaker 1: It is a sad state of affairs. And it's the

465
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: same state of affairs, Bob, because you remember, I remember

466
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: talking to you in twenty twenty when all hell broke

467
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: loose during COVID and we had the Black Lives Matter

468
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: protest and we had just absolute a breakdown of law

469
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: and order in this city, in Madison, and obviously across

470
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: the country. Look at what happened to Kenosha. But it

471
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: was going on then, and it was horrible then, and

472
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: it's going on now. It's just this absolute disdain for

473
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: anything law and order. I just don't know, because you

474
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: know this council, you know, it's the mechanisms. How on

475
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: earth do we keep getting these people in these positions

476
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: of authority that are just putting together such nihilistic policies.

477
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know. I will say this, and I

478
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 6: was discussing this with a close friend recently. The choices

479
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 6: that our electorate has for many of these local positions

480
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 6: is either bad or pathetic, and that's the choice that

481
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 6: you have to make in voting for an alderman or

482
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 6: older women, and that needs to change. We need to

483
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 6: get back to just folks that are close to the community,

484
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 6: are a part of it, care of Milwaukee and want

485
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 6: to do the right thing and not engage in all

486
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 6: of this nonsense, really and support the brave men and

487
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 6: women of law enforcement at all levels, including our federal partners.

488
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 6: As I say so, it sends the absolute worst message.

489
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 6: And you know, at a time I might add matt

490
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 6: where a crime and the homicide rate has come down

491
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 6: significantly across America. In Milwaukee it's up, and that's a

492
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 6: sad state of affairs. And I think certainly some of

493
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 6: it has to do with the fact that we're not

494
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 6: as active as we need to be on getting some

495
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 6: of these individuals off our streets.

496
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Yesterday I read just a handful.

497
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: We didn't have time to go through the whole list

498
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants, criminal violent illegal immigrants who have been

499
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: picked up, thankfully by Ice, only five of them though

500
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, Bob, and you look at other communities where

501
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: we have communities and their law enforcement agencies working in

502
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: concert to get these very dangerous people off the streets.

503
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: Is it any wonder that Milwaukee's violent crime rate continues

504
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: to go up when we have a falling off of

505
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: the numbers going on nationally. I just have a couple

506
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: of minutes left. We're talking with State Representative Bob Donovan,

507
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: Republican from Greenfield. Two questions. How much is this just

508
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: simply blind Trump derangement syndrome? This is what Alderman Brower

509
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: said yesterday. Adopting this resolution that calls for the abolition

510
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: of ICE could potentially put us on a list in

511
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's White House of cities that are sanctuary cities.

512
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: I am in support of us being declared a sanctuary city.

513
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 1: I want to end up on that list. Brauer said, well,

514
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: there's no hiding the sanctuary city status of Milwaukee anymore.

515
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: How much of this has to do with TDS? And again,

516
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: what can the state do on this front?

517
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 6: Well, I would say a significant amount of it has

518
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 6: to do with TDS. I have never seen anything quite

519
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 6: like it, The just blind hatred that some people have

520
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 6: towards the President of the United States. It's just mind

521
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 6: boggling to me. Having said that, what can the state do? Well,

522
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 6: you know we put some parameters in place in at

523
00:35:51,600 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 6: twelve regarding the hiring of police, certainly posting them in schools,

524
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 6: community or school resource officers, hiring numbers that the city

525
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 6: has to meet. I might add I don't believe the

526
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 6: city is meeting those goals. So I can assure you

527
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 6: next go round, if I'm re elected, I will do

528
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 6: my damn just to ensure that the city does comply

529
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 6: or face the significant penalty they need to get. And

530
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 6: they need to get their elected officials, this common Council

531
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 6: working in conjunction with the mayor to get that done.

532
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 6: They need to do their job and not be engaging

533
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 6: in all sorts of other things that are really issues

534
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 6: that are more related to the federal level. If they

535
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 6: want to be members of Congress, then by god, run

536
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 6: for Congress. But if you're an Alderman, start taking care.

537
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 6: We are the basics in your neighborhood. That's what needs

538
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 6: to occur. But believe me, Matt, I have racked my

539
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 6: brain over times as to what we can do at

540
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 6: the state level to ensure a better level of compliance

541
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 6: on things like this in Milwaukee. Stay tuned, I guess

542
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 6: is all I can tell you.

543
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely I know, I know it frustrates you as much

544
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: as anybody, if not more, because you've spent a long

545
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: time thinking about this, in dealing with this. But I

546
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: certainly appreciate the comments and the concerns because it's not

547
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: just Milwaukee's problem. As we know, what they don't do

548
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: in providing public safety comes out to the rest of Wisconsin,

549
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: and that's something we have to consider. Bob, thank you

550
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: so much for joining us this afternoon. I appreciate your time.

551
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 6: Thanks so much, Matt, thanks so much.

552
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: Bybye you bet be well God bless Representative Bob Donovan,

553
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: common sense? How about a little of that? You're not

554
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: getting any of it from this Marxist city council. Here's

555
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: the resolution, in part by the way, I find this rich.

556
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: Whereas Minneapolis Director of Community Planning and Economic Development reported

557
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: that Minneapolis is losing about twenty million dollars per week

558
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: in economic activity due to the federal immigration enforcement activities

559
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:35,720
Speaker 1: occurring there. Is it the federal enforcement activities occurring there?

560
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 1: Or is it the radical leftist trying to impede their

561
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: operations the enforcing of law? Is it the radical leftists

562
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: who are smashing up things in destroying property it's a

563
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: good question. I think they should be asking that as well.

564
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 2: We'll take a break.

565
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: More to come the Dan O'Donnell Show with yours truly,

566
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: Matt kittlestay with us, and away we go. Welcome back,

567
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: thrill Seekers, our number two of our little get together

568
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: on this fourth day of March twoenty twenty six, in

569
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 1: the Year of Our Lord. I am your radio talk

570
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: show host Phil and Daddy Matt kittlefilling in on the

571
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show. How are you glad to have you

572
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: along with us? We have lots to do, lots to

573
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,479
Speaker 1: do coming up this hour. We hope to have coming

574
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: up around the corner a conversation with Carrie Severino. Carrie

575
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: has done some very very interesting things, very interesting reporting.

576
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: She has been in legal fights for freedom for rights,

577
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: parental rights in particular, and most recently she has been

578
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: covering the Supreme Court and it's decision in this case

579
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: involving a California law that requires public schools to secretly

580
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: transition children without their parents' knowledge. Under long established precedent,

581
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 1: parents not the state, have primary authority with respect to

582
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: the upbringing and education of children, the majority said, in

583
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: an unsigned opinion the right protected by these precedents includes

584
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: the right not to be shut out of participation and

585
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: decisions regarding their children's mental health. We have seen this

586
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: movie over and over again, unfortunately, in our schools and

587
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 1: in social justice networks and you name it. JCN President

588
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: Carrie Saravino, as I noted before, will join us with

589
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more coming up in just a couple

590
00:40:56,640 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: of minutes about that Landmark Mirabelli the Banta case. This

591
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: is something a lot of folks have been watching for

592
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: a long time. You know what else they've been watching.

593
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: They've been watching Minneapolis government officials and they're some Allion

594
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: friends steal billions of dollars from American taxpayers. Well, the

595
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: guy who is under the spotlight for this massive medicaid

596
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: fraud scandal is the governor of the state of Minnesota,

597
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: Tim Walls, and the House Oversight Committee today had a

598
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: lot of questions for Governor Tim Walls and the state's

599
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: attorney general, and they did not look real good in

600
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: all of this. We'll have a little audio on that

601
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 1: and some more coming up in a little bit later

602
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: on in the hour. And then, as I mentioned last hour,

603
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: that classic white supremacist Stephen Colbert is a celebrating victory

604
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: for his preferred white Christian nationalist candidate. Of course, you

605
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: know that the late night talk show host, comedian with

606
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: air quotes around his name got into a spot of

607
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,280
Speaker 1: trouble continues to be in a spot of trouble because

608
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 1: basically he has turned that show into a horrorsh promotion

609
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: for Democrat Party and the Democrat Party talking points, and

610
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: he ran up against the old equal time issue and

611
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: we're still waiting for that to be sorted out. But

612
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: in essence, he had James Taro Rico, the white candidate

613
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: feigning that Christian principal ideas as a leftist. He put

614
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: him on the show. Didn't have time for Jasmine Crockett,

615
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: the well the lunatic campaign another one in running for

616
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: Texas Senate Jasmine Crockett, she lost last night, and she's

617
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: talking about a lot of people are talking about maybe

618
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: there were enough people watching that Stephen Colbert show and

619
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: his preferences that they decided to vote for the Reverend James. Well,

620
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: we'll talk more about that coming up in just a bit.

621
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: But next, a conversation with Carrie Severino on a huge

622
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: landmark Supreme Court ruling stay with us. Kittle here you

623
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: are there the Dan o'donald show, keeping it real, keeping

624
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: it right, keeping it funky. Matt Kittle in for Dan

625
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: O'Donnell this Wednesday afternoon. Thanks for jumping in to the

626
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: good ship, Lollipop. We appreciate that we're having a little

627
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: difficulty reaching Carrie Severino with the Justice Crisis Network. We

628
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: will see if we can catch up with her a

629
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: little bit later this hour or during the show at

630
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: some point. We certainly will at that point talk about

631
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: a huge victory for parental rights again the Supreme Court

632
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: this week blocking California's hideous law requiring public schools to

633
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 1: secretly transition children without their parents' knowledge. This has been

634
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: a fight that we have certainly experienced here in the

635
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 1: state of Wisconsin. Just ask the good folks, the freedom

636
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: fighters over at the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty.

637
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: That has been one of their big fights over the

638
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: last few years in this state, and I know elsewhere

639
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: as well. So let us move on to what I

640
00:44:55,560 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: noted before, and that is this humble opinion, this fact

641
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: Tim Walls is a fraud. I knew that long before,

642
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: and I certainly knew that when he was picked as

643
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:17,240
Speaker 1: the vice presidential candidate, the running mate of Kamala Harris.

644
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: The Borders are herself and America said, wow, look at

645
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:30,359
Speaker 1: that dream team. A dream team of phonies, both of them,

646
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: just absolute phonies, frauds. And it is interesting. At the

647
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: time you had this guy wearing his flannel shirts. Oh

648
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: he's everyman, Tim Walls, of course, as he's signing legislation

649
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: that put tampons in boys' bathrooms. Oh, look at him,

650
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: fire that gun. Oh look at mister Brownie over there.

651
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: Oh you having a hard time loading it. He's a

652
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,720
Speaker 1: deer hunter, you know. Oh yeah, guy's been a fraud

653
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: for a long time. It is very interesting that the

654
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: governor of Minnesota has presided over one of the biggest

655
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: fraud scandals in American history, medicaid fraud in so many

656
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: different areas well. He had his day before Congress this afternoon,

657
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: and it didn't go very well for Timmy Timmy. Representative

658
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, Republican Ohio accused Minnesota Governor Tim Walls of

659
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: trying to quote hide behind a court order to explain

660
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: why the state resumed payments to Feeding Our Children, a

661
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 1: nonprofit at the center of a massive pandemic era child

662
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: nutrition fraud program. Let's pause right there for a moment

663
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: and recognize the fact that the pandemic was a cover

664
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: for so many things. Leftist used it for so many things,

665
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: not the least of which was pumping out hundreds of

666
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: billions of dollars of your money, of my money, wasting

667
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 1: it to buy votes from constituencies. At the end of

668
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: the day, that's what was going on in Minnesota with

669
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: entities like feeding our children and the leering center where

670
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: the kids were leering all day long, except they weren't there.

671
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 1: Why didn't you tell the truth about why you restarted

672
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: the payments, Jordan asked Tim during a House Oversight Committee

673
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: hearing on Minnesota fraud this morning. The exchange centered on

674
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: Walls's past public statements that a judge ordered the Minnesota

675
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: Department of Education to continue reimbursements in April twenty twenty one,

676
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: after the agency had halted payments over fraud concerns. It's

677
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: a big deal because this guy and his administration and

678
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: the people who are in charge of health and human services,

679
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: they were told repeatedly, Hey, I think we've got a

680
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: problem here. Houston. Looks like lots of money are going.

681
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: It's going out to this place, and we don't have

682
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: the numbers that match up correspondingly to show that this

683
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 1: money is being used to I don't know, feed the children,

684
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 1: care for the children. But it seems interesting that the

685
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: guy running that program or this program, Yeah, he's driving

686
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: a new Mercedes ben and it looks sharp. Jordan pointed

687
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 1: to a twenty twenty two court authorized news release from

688
00:48:52,880 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: then Ramsey County District Court Judge John H. Goothman disputed

689
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:05,439
Speaker 1: the governor's characterization of the events. On September twenty second,

690
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, Governor Tim Walls told the media that

691
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Department of Education attempted to end payments to

692
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 1: the Feed Are Folks to the fof because of possible fraud,

693
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: but the Judge Gouthman ordered payments to continue in April

694
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. That is also false, the release stated

695
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: from the judge's office as the public court record in

696
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 1: Judge Gouthman's orders make plane. Judge Gouthman never issued an

697
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 1: order requiring the Minnesota Department of Education to resume food

698
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 1: reimbursement payments to this agency this nonprofit. The Tim Walls

699
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 1: has said that repeatedly, over and over again. Well, I'm

700
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: our hands were tied. Was there billions of dollars of

701
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: fe fraud? Maybe?

702
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, but listen, the court told us we had.

703
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 1: To do it, so we had to do it. These

704
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 1: are the same people, by the way, that have fought

705
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 1: tooth and nail breaking the law to impede federal law

706
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: enforcement officials from doing their jobs and enforcing federal immigration law.

707
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: So now they're all concerned about a judge's order that

708
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: they didn't follow anyway. Amazing. James Comer wasn't having it.

709
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: The chairman of the House Oversight Committee absolutely grilled this fraud. Today,

710
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: we have a little audio thanks to Forbes Breaking News,

711
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: and it's a longer clip, but I do want to

712
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: play it because I think it's fantastic. It really does

713
00:50:55,200 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: expose this guy for the fraudulent dufis is Tim Walls.

714
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: Here's James Comer asking some important questions that Tim Walls

715
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: has a difficult time answering.

716
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 8: Well, recognize myself for five minutes, Governor Watson, Attorney General Elson.

717
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 8: My questions are going to be simple and direct. Governor

718
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 8: waltch you were inaugurated as governor on January seventeenth twenty nineteen,

719
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 8: and had served in that role through two terms ever since.

720
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: Correct, that's correct, Miss Truman.

721
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,479
Speaker 8: During the time period twenty nineteen and twenty twenty while

722
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 8: you were serving as governor, isn't it true that state

723
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 8: auditors and officials raise concerns about fraud and vulnerabilities and

724
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 8: programs overseen by your administration.

725
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 9: I can't confirm that, but I'm assuming we have always

726
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 9: ongoing I'll take that.

727
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: As a yes.

728
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 8: Those warnings were communicated to senior officials and your administration,

729
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 8: including yourself.

730
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: Correct, I can't speak of it was that. I think the.

731
00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,280
Speaker 8: Correct answer to that would also be yes. Despite those warnings,

732
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 8: you did not order a broad stop payment or suspension

733
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 8: of payment in any program.

734
00:51:57,480 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 10: At that time.

735
00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: Correct.

736
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 9: We're not going to stop payments and feed children until

737
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 9: we have the proof that things happened. In twenty nineteen,

738
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 9: we did start taking action. I went to the legislature, Governor.

739
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 8: Watz, when fraud concerns were raised early in your tenure

740
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 8: in the childcare assistance program? Did your administration stop payments

741
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:15,879
Speaker 8: at that.

742
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: Time the childcare assistance program?

743
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 2: And the answer is no.

744
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 10: When fraud concerns were like.

745
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: Me to answer or not. Well, it's yes or not.

746
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: I want you to help.

747
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 2: You've already answered the question.

748
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 8: You said you didn't ever stop payments, and that's what

749
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 8: the problem is, and that's what the Democrats are complaining about.

750
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, Trump stopped payments. Well, my god, you

751
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 8: lost billions to fraud in Minnesota. That's that's it's hearing

752
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 8: just the Chairman that you didn't stop payments because you

753
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 8: didn't want to rock the boat. And when fraud, when

754
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 8: fraud concerns were raised in medicaid, home and community based services,

755
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 8: did your administration stop payments?

756
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 2: No, you did not.

757
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 8: When fraud concerns were raised in non emergency medical transportation,

758
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 8: did your administration stop payments?

759
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 9: Chairman, if I could mention what a stop payment meant,

760
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 9: by what the administration did last week is four hundred

761
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 9: thousand children without healthcare.

762
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: And they stop in payment at one person.

763
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 8: We believe that your fault and the Attorney General's fault,

764
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 8: because you do nothing about fraud, even though everyone in America.

765
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,720
Speaker 1: See Medicare is lower than your fraud.

766
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 8: You have been defrauded, You have not been good stewards

767
00:53:26,560 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 8: of the taxpayer dollars.

768
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 2: And the Democrat.

769
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 8: Position is, well, keep the money flowing. The American taxpayers

770
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 8: have had enough.

771
00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 1: I don't I think Yes, Yes. Truer words were never

772
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: said other than when Trump looked out uh in a

773
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: State of the Union address to the left side of

774
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: the aisle and said, these people are crazy. They are

775
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: at He says, listen, Yes, we've been caught with our

776
00:53:56,719 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: hand in the cookie jar over and over again. We

777
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: have either been grossly incompetent, I mean criminally incompetent, or

778
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: we're in on it. That's the last portion of the

779
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: puzzle that we need to find out here, and that's

780
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: why these hearings are being held. Yes, we've got billions

781
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:20,879
Speaker 1: of dollars of money stolen from the American taxpayer. So

782
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: you need to give us more. You need to give

783
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: us more money. The kids don't have it, you know what.

784
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: The kids didn't get it to begin with. The kids

785
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 1: didn't get it at the leering center, they didn't get

786
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: it at the educational after school support programs. They didn't

787
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,919
Speaker 1: get it in these healthcare grants and all of these

788
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 1: sorts of things, these medicaid grants, where all of these

789
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: thieves we're stealing from the American taxpayer. They took that

790
00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: from the kids that this was supposed to be intended for,

791
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 1: and made a lot of people, and certainly a number

792
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: of people fresh and new to America, a lot of money.

793
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: And Tim Walls wants us all to feel bad that

794
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: we've cut them off. You know, this happens a lot

795
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: of times in life. It's difficult. Well, the example I'll

796
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 1: give is certainly more difficult than saying to Tim Walls,

797
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: go pound sand, get the hell out of here. If

798
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 1: you weren't such a buffoon and you didn't preside over

799
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: again one of the biggest welfare scandals in this country's history,

800
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: we might have a different story here. But yeah, there

801
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: are parents I know plenty of them that have had

802
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: some challenging times, and we all have as parents with

803
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: the kids, kids making bad decisions, kids worrying them. I

804
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,360
Speaker 1: got some I got a significant amount of gray hair

805
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: on this old head from worrying about kids. And that's

806
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: not even you know, not even kids making bad decisions.

807
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 1: It's kids, your children out there in this insane world,

808
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:39,240
Speaker 1: thanks in no small part to guys like fraud Tim Walls,

809
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: and you worry about them, and then when they make

810
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: bad decisions and bad decision after bad decision. Eventually, you know,

811
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 1: they come back and they want more money, or they

812
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 1: want another chance and another chance, and you got to say, hey,

813
00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 1: you're going to have to do this on your own

814
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: now and continue to make those decisions. You're going to

815
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: have to face the consequences of those decisions. We all do.

816
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 2: That's what being an adult is all about. The problem

817
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 2: is there are no adults in the room in liberal land.

818
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 2: They're all children. They're all petulant and spoiled children, and

819
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 2: they become increasingly spoiled with every new giveaway. That's what

820
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 2: the dependency state is. There are always people who do,

821
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 2: indeed need the assistance.

822
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: The help. It is supposed to be for those able body,

823
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: those who can work, those who can contribute. It's supposed

824
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: to be a temporary thing. It's supposed to be a

825
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: transition to help someone get from a difficult spot into

826
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: an easier path. But when you have a state government

827
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: that was warned over and over again by its auditors

828
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: and its investigators, and those auditors and investigators at times

829
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: were told to shut the hell up. Some of them

830
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 1: claim that they were threatened, and all of this, of course,

831
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: it's coming out was simply a matter of goosing a constituency.

832
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: These folks needed to get them elected over and over again. Well,

833
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: something has to give. And it's like when a kid,

834
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 1: a grown child, keeps getting in it, or you're going

835
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: to have to cut that kid off. It's the same

836
00:58:52,320 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: way with criminals, right, you don't get ninety chances to

837
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: commit the same violent crime, at least you shouldn't. Of course,

838
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee, nineteen is just the starting offer. There has

839
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: to be an end to it. And the taxpayers of

840
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 1: America have been absolutely fleeced for a long time. And

841
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: it's not just Minnesota, it's here in the state of Wisconsin.

842
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 1: We know how bad, how bad it is if we

843
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: had a governor who was ever accountable, who is ever transparent,

844
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:37,960
Speaker 1: a guy who talks about open government ad nauseum but

845
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: has no concept of what that means, and he doesn't

846
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: give a damn what that means, because he's going to

847
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 1: go about doing his secret stuff along with the real

848
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: governor of the state, Maggie gow And they're not going

849
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:57,800
Speaker 1: to open the books to the auditors. Why would they.

850
00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: If they do, we're gonna find out that we have

851
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: another Tim Walls, which we already suspected, didn't we here

852
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 1: in the state of Wisconsin. Now something has to give,

853
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: and Congressman Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee,

854
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: is absolutely right. You cannot give us this sad story,

855
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 1: this song and dance about how can you cut off

856
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: this funding for Minnesota. I'll tell you how we can

857
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: do it. You failed the American taxpayer over and over

858
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 1: and over again. You don't get another chance at that

859
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: now you figure it out. Be a big boy tampon. Tim.

860
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: You're the one, along with your leftist pals for purely

861
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 1: political reasons. You're the ones who did that to your selves,

862
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: and the American taxpayer is not going to bail your

863
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 1: butt out again. All right, let's take a quick break,

864
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 1: and we've got some other things to do. Yes, we

865
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: do what else? Hey, let's see, let's check in with

866
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert how he's doing today after the big Texas

867
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: victory last night. More on that straight ahead as we

868
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 1: continue this Wednesday edition with the Dan O'Donnell Show, with

869
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: yours truly, Matt Kittle, stay with us here we go.

870
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Let's wade back in, Hi. How are you Kittle?

871
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:37,959
Speaker 2: Here? You are there?

872
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, and it's gonna get warmer. How about that.

873
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: That's all right, Yeah, that's all right. Indeed, of course,

874
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: anytime between now and let's say June fifteenth, we could

875
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: be hit by fifteen inches of snow and then a

876
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: blizzard and cold and then seventy five degrees the next day.

877
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: You know how this game is played Wisconsin springtime. Speaking

878
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin Big Badger game coming up tonight, our excellent

879
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: producer Doug Russell probably has a few things to say

880
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: about that. I was a little concerned at the start

881
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: of the West coast trip last week, and then things

882
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 1: got better, didn't they.

883
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:30,480
Speaker 10: Things did get better.

884
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 1: They got a lot better.

885
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 11: They shot the ball much better than they did against Oregon.

886
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 11: Against Washington, they put up a thirty seven to three pointers.

887
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 11: Greg Guard this week on his radio show In the Game,

888
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 11: by the way, could be heard in Milwaukee on eleven

889
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 11: thirty WISN and in Madison on thirteen ten WIVA. So

890
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 11: we've got Badgers basketball for you to night against Maryland

891
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 11: at the Cole Center. But they just got hot at

892
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 11: the right time. Bradon Carrington hit nine three pointers by himself.

893
01:02:56,840 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 11: That's a program record for a single game. And he's

894
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 11: known more for his defense. But yeah, it was a

895
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 11: good effort vi Bradon Carrington against Washington, a record setting

896
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 11: performance by him as well as the rest.

897
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 10: Of the team.

898
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 11: They played really well.

899
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 1: And Doug, excuse my ignorance on this, and my ignorance

900
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:20,440
Speaker 1: is vast, but didn't Carrington do that off the bench?

901
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 11: He did do that off the bench, as a matter

902
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 11: of fact, that is correct, and it was John Blackwell

903
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 11: had a rough outing. He only scored seven points. Usually

904
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 11: he scores his average is a little bit over eighteen.

905
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 11: But you know, good teams find different ways to win

906
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 11: basketball games, and that's certainly what Wisconsin against Washington. Now,

907
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 11: the Huskies aren't a very good basketball team. Neither is

908
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 11: Maryland tonight. But then you've got one final game against

909
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 11: Purdue on Saturday. Then it's tournament.

910
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big, one final question for you because

911
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: you've been covering this team all season long. And I

912
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 1: love my Badgers. You know, bad season, good season, no

913
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: matter what. But here's the thing. They have done a

914
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 1: number on my heart this year because they beat some

915
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: just phenomenal, you know, the top ten teams in this country,

916
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: and then they lose to an Oregon. Ye, some of

917
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 1: the biggest and USC absolutely, so what Wisconsin is going

918
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: to show up to the Big Ten Tournament and then

919
01:04:19,920 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: to March Madness.

920
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 10: I can answer it this way. Depends on how well

921
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 10: they shoot.

922
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 11: This is a team that you know, they live by

923
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 11: the jump shot, they die by the jump shot. And

924
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 11: if they shoot the ball well, they can beat literally

925
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 11: as we've seen, as you pointed out, they can beat

926
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 11: anyone in the country.

927
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 10: If they don't shoot the ball well, well, they lost

928
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 10: to Oregon.

929
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 11: Orgon's a terrible basketball team this year, and you hat

930
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 11: Oregon just smoked them, especially in the second half. Wisconsin

931
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,280
Speaker 11: at a three point lead and then got blown out

932
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 11: by the end of the game. Oregon really taking advantage

933
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 11: of Wisconsin's poor shooting, poor defense, poor rotations. But when

934
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 11: tournament time rolls around, not necessarily in the Big Ten Tournament,

935
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 11: but certainly in the NCAA's not breaking any news here.

936
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 10: You have one game and you're done.

937
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I want to see a deep run

938
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: in both I listen, I know it sounds bad. I'd

939
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 1: love to see them take the Big Ten Tournament championship.

940
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: They're not going to be able to take the uh

941
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, the conference champion. The regular season championship. All

942
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: of that said, I want them fully prepared for the

943
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 1: Big Dance. And if that means, I know, it's unstrible.

944
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 1: If that means checking out early of the Big Ten tournament,

945
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: so be it. If we're in the Elite eight final

946
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 1: for a championship game.

947
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 10: You're not.

948
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 1: That's a tall order.

949
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 11: No, I mean you're not alone in that because these

950
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 11: conference tournaments now they've got the double by, which is

951
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 11: good news. So they don't have to play five days

952
01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 11: in a row, four days in a row. If they

953
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 11: can knock that down to you know, two days in

954
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 11: a row, I think they can sustain that. But if

955
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 11: they get to Sunday, as they've done in the past,

956
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 11: over the last ten years or so, there have been

957
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 11: instances where they've gotten to the championship round of the

958
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:00,360
Speaker 11: Big Ten Tournament and then not got now to the

959
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 11: first weekend of the ncuble a's NC Doublea's whether it's

960
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 11: right or wrong, that's how teams are judged in college basketball.

961
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 11: The further you've get, that's how coaches get their bonuses,

962
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 11: and nowadays in the NIL era, that's how players get

963
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 11: theirs too.

964
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: You bet, that's the they call it the big dance

965
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: for a reason, and you can hear it all and

966
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: I think, really more people. It happens every time. Late February,

967
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: early March, everyone starts tuning in a little bit more.

968
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: Tune in tonight on News Talk eleven thirty, WISN and

969
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:36,959
Speaker 1: of course on WIBA in Madison. We've got the game

970
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 1: for you coming up tonight. A couple more, including a

971
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: big one this weekend at Purdue. Oh wouldn't that be

972
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 1: lovely to finish out the season with a big victory there?

973
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: In News this hour, you know, the top story everywhere

974
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: is the war in Iran, and now here come the Kurds.

975
01:06:55,880 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 1: Here come the Kurds. Thousands of Iraqi Kurds have launched

976
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: ground offensives into Iran. According to the latest news from

977
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 1: Fox News, thousands of Iraqi Kurdish fighters have launched that

978
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: ground offensive, according to US officials. The development comes as

979
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: the conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran continues

980
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: to escalate across the region. As we noted earlier in

981
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: the show, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said the US

982
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 1: military is not arming an insurgency inside Iran, though he

983
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: suggested other parts of the US government could potentially be involved.

984
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Marco Rubio had said earlier today that

985
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: the next phase of this effort would be ratcheted up.

986
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 1: There would be a lot more activity going on already

987
01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:02,360
Speaker 1: than we've already seen. That apparently, at least at this point,

988
01:08:02,440 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 1: doesn't involve a US ground game. But stay posted, Stay posted.

989
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: We will obviously keep you up to date on all

990
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: of that. We'll keep you up to date on the

991
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 1: big phonies out there as well. One of the biggest

992
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: phonies out there, of course, is late night talk show

993
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: host comedian Stephen Colbert. Yes, he has spent his time

994
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: on CBS, which is rapidly coming to an end now

995
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 1: that that's comedy. He will be done sometime in May

996
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 1: if that schedule still works out. Why because he's not

997
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:48,679
Speaker 1: all that funny to a lot of people, and he's

998
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: losing a lot of money for his parent company, and

999
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're not real thrilled that he decided to

1000
01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 1: get into a little trouble with the Equal Time area

1001
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 1: where Steve decided he was going to have a Democrat

1002
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: candidate for US Senate in Texas on and not the

1003
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: other major candidate, and then got all all peepy about

1004
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: it the word. So basically he gives time to James

1005
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: tell Rico, who is now the victorious candidate in the

1006
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: Texas Senate primary as of last night. He beat Jasmine Crockett,

1007
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: who has made all kinds of race related claims, of course,

1008
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 1: all kinds of charges. In this case, she has charged,

1009
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 1: along with others, that Stephen Colbert preferred the the white

1010
01:09:55,760 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 1: dude instead of Jasmine crocket who is black. And one

1011
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 1: thing is for certain, there certainly are some questions about

1012
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 1: whether Stephen Colbert tip the race in the favor of

1013
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 1: his preferred candidate. Whether it was the tipping point will

1014
01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: be up for debate, but some media observers are arguing

1015
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 1: James Tallerrico's late night interview controversy with liberal CBS host

1016
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert helped him defeat fire brand Texas representative Jasmine

1017
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 1: Crockett in Tuesday's Democratic Senate primary. This an opinion piece

1018
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: in Fox News written by Brian Flood and Joseph Wolfson.

1019
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: Tall Rico, a thirty six year old state representative who

1020
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:58,679
Speaker 1: is identifying as a Christian seminarian, had some very interesting

1021
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: ideas about text about the Gospel in the good book.

1022
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 1: In general, he will try to become the first Democrat

1023
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty eight to win a Senate election in Texas.

1024
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:19,599
Speaker 1: His opponent will either be Senators Stuffy Rump, John Cornyn,

1025
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 1: Republican Texas, or a state Attorney General Ken Paxton. They

1026
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 1: are heading to a May runoff. They didn't get enough

1027
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: votes to secure it outright. FCC insiders previously told Fox

1028
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: News Digital they believed Colbert attempted to put his thumb

1029
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 1: on the scale with the party establishment, thinking tall Rico

1030
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: maybe more palatable in a general election than someone that

1031
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 1: goes around screaming that all white people are guilty of

1032
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:59,719
Speaker 1: white supremacy and are the benefactors of a systemically racist system.

1033
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:03,479
Speaker 1: Didn't play well with a number of voters in the

1034
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: lone Star state. Surprisingly enough, Colbert helped stir massive attention

1035
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 1: for tell Rico by insisting he couldn't air his interview

1036
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 1: of the Democratic state lawmaker last month because CBS was

1037
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: pressured by FCC guidelines. CBS and the FCC countered the

1038
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 1: notion that he was actively prevented from acting from airing

1039
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: the interview, however, was not right, not correct. That stunt,

1040
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: and it was a stunt gave Tallarico more publicity than

1041
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 1: all the advertisements he possibly could purchase, Joe Konca told

1042
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 1: Fox News Digital, and there is something to that. The

1043
01:12:53,320 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: night after this big flap, when the big flap himself,

1044
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert was flapping on about how he is a

1045
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 1: victim of speech suppression by his company and all of

1046
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: this sort of nonsense. He gloated, he talked about how

1047
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 1: well you know, if they would have just had the

1048
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 1: James tell Erico interview air on this show, which they

1049
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: did not do because it presented an equal time issue,

1050
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: they would have had to under the law, which hasn't

1051
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 1: been followed. Once again, surprise, surprise, liberals not following the

1052
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:36,160
Speaker 1: laws in place, but effectively, they would have had to

1053
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 1: have given equal time in some measure to Jasmine Crockett,

1054
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:48,080
Speaker 1: and nobody wanted that. So he had this guy on

1055
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 1: and then he gloated that because he was restricted, he

1056
01:13:54,360 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 1: was suppressed, as Colbert insisted he was. That he put

1057
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 1: it on his YouTube channel and he got millions of

1058
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 1: viewers more than he would have had otherwise. Aha, We'll

1059
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: show that FCC will show these big muckety MUCKs at CBS.

1060
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: By God Haha, we'll take on Trump. All the sort

1061
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 1: of nonsense playing out. Well, he kind of set it

1062
01:14:25,080 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: in motion, didn't he. If there are concerns and issues

1063
01:14:29,800 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 1: that he gave an advantage to Tall Rico over his opponent,

1064
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 1: kind of said as much, gloating, Hey, he got a

1065
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: lot of eyes on this. Yeah, a lot of voters

1066
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:50,000
Speaker 1: tuned into this, presumably many of them in Texas well.

1067
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:52,760
Speaker 2: That could be a problem for.

1068
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 1: All Stevie Bear. Colbert lashed out at the policy, accusing

1069
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:06,720
Speaker 1: the FCC Commissioner and the FCC of trying to silence

1070
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:11,120
Speaker 1: him and his fellow liberal late night comedians like Jimmy

1071
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 1: Kimmel and Seth Myers. Weeks later, Colbert generated headlines when

1072
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 1: he told viewers that CBS blocked his interview with Talla

1073
01:15:22,240 --> 01:15:26,960
Speaker 1: Rico from airing on television. He was supposed to be here,

1074
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:30,080
Speaker 1: but we were told in no uncertain terms by our

1075
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:34,559
Speaker 1: network's lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not

1076
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:38,400
Speaker 1: have him on the broadcast, Colbert told viewers on February sixteenth.

1077
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 1: Again that was refuted by the same lawyers he's talking about,

1078
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 1: just trying to make sure that the company is protected.

1079
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:58,639
Speaker 1: Tell Rico told Colbert Trump was afraid of Texas being

1080
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:02,599
Speaker 1: flipped by Democrats, playing up the notion that the government

1081
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,800
Speaker 1: had blocked the interview from television, and he called it

1082
01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: cancel culture. Isn't that something, cancel culture coming from a leftist.

1083
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 1: I always love it when the leftists talk about and

1084
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 1: point their finger. That's cancel culture coming from the kings

1085
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 1: of cancel culture. Here. I think maybe James Tallerico will

1086
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:37,600
Speaker 1: ultimately cancel himself because Americans only have so much patience

1087
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: for the ideas of guys like James tall Rico. Kind

1088
01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:46,519
Speaker 1: of like this. Take a listen a little listen to

1089
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 1: this comment that he had a while back on this bill.

1090
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:55,120
Speaker 1: The worst part for me was the number of Christians

1091
01:16:55,439 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 1: who used scripture to justify her children. We're having some

1092
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: issues with that audio. What he said in that clip

1093
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:08,640
Speaker 1: when he was a state representative in Texas and he

1094
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: was standing up for another child mutilation bill in the

1095
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:22,799
Speaker 1: whole gender agenda from the left. He said at that point,

1096
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:25,880
Speaker 1: a clip that will be played over and over again

1097
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: in this upcoming twenty twenty six Senate race and I

1098
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 1: quote he said, God is non binary. No matter what

1099
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 1: he meant by that, it just does not play well

1100
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 1: with a lot of voters in Texas say well, us

1101
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 1: more to come. Kittle, Here, you're there on the Dan

1102
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 1: o'donald Show. Welcome back thrill Seekers, our number three of

1103
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 1: our little get together on this March fourth, Wednesday edition

1104
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: of the Dan Donald's Show. Here I am you, lucky people,

1105
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 1: Matt Kittle filling in your radio talk show host Phil

1106
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: in Daddy, a lesser known, less talented Kittle. As I've

1107
01:18:12,560 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 1: said on multiple occasions, I am not the Kittle who

1108
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:21,720
Speaker 1: goes up against massive linebackers. If I did, that would

1109
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:25,639
Speaker 1: be a tremendous miscalculation on my part and whoever put

1110
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 1: me in that position. Speaking of football, we have some

1111
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 1: sad news this hour. Doug Russell, our excellent producer all

1112
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: Things Sports, I'd like you to chime in on this

1113
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 1: because when you talk about iconic legendary football coaches, this

1114
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:46,240
Speaker 1: guy is a legendary college football coach. Lou Hols, who

1115
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: spent thirty three years leading teams including the Notre Dame

1116
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: Fighting Irish, died today. He was eighty nine. He was

1117
01:18:55,840 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: as big as football college football ever was made it

1118
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 1: that much more so big personality obviously, huh.

1119
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 11: Yeah, huge personality and not a little bit, perhaps a

1120
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:11,679
Speaker 11: little bit more than just tangentially related to the success

1121
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 11: of the Wisconsin Badgers under Barry Alvarez, because if you

1122
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:17,880
Speaker 11: will remember, and there are listeners of a certain age

1123
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:21,240
Speaker 11: that will, Barry Alvarez was the assistant head coach and

1124
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 11: defensive coordinator for Lou Holtz in nineteen eighty nine when

1125
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,799
Speaker 11: Notre Dame won the national championship and then Donna Shalala

1126
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:32,599
Speaker 11: plucked Barry Alvarez and Pat Richter, well specifically Barry Alvarez

1127
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 11: along with Pat Richter from Lou Holtz's staff, and we

1128
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 11: saw the success that Wisconsin had, and if you were

1129
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 11: in the state of Wisconsin in nineteen ninety three and

1130
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:44,679
Speaker 11: nineteen ninety four, this was before the Packers got really

1131
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:48,639
Speaker 11: good and raised that bar everything was centered around Wisconsin

1132
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 11: Badgers football and a lot of that had to do

1133
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 11: with Barry Alvarez, and a lot of his success, again

1134
01:19:52,200 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 11: had to do with Lou Holtz.

1135
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:57,679
Speaker 1: Sure was, and I remember it, I remember it very well,

1136
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 1: that first big winning year of the Rose bl year

1137
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: on was it New Year's Eve or New Year's Day? Now,

1138
01:20:04,360 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 1: I forget nineteen New Year's Day, nineteen four yeah, nineteen

1139
01:20:08,040 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: ninety four. It was a late broadcast. Matt Lapey was

1140
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 1: on it. Obviously, Matt's been there for a long time.

1141
01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: A snot nosed radio production kid by the name of

1142
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:25,559
Speaker 1: Matt Kittle was producing football. I'm going to tell you

1143
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 1: about pressure man, because you know, listen, obviously the pressure

1144
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: on the field was a lot bigger for Garry Alvarez

1145
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 1: in that great team. Its shirt certainly was for for

1146
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:40,640
Speaker 1: Matt Lapey and Mike Lucas in the Gang. But to

1147
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: make sure that that thing was on the air and

1148
01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 1: that listeners did not miss a single I had. I

1149
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 1: lost some sleep before I had to Good you should you?

1150
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 1: That's how you know it was big, exactly. And I

1151
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:59,519
Speaker 1: remember down the hall there was an old rock and

1152
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:04,280
Speaker 1: roll disc jockey I think his name was Craig, and

1153
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:07,120
Speaker 1: he came down while I was making sure all the

1154
01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:09,400
Speaker 1: elements were there and we're getting everything on the air

1155
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:11,000
Speaker 1: live right in the middle of the football game, and

1156
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 1: he came down and he.

1157
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 2: Said, hey, Kiddle, how's it going. Rock and roll DJs

1158
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:21,599
Speaker 2: are prone to do, and.

1159
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. He said, hey, is the game going

1160
01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 1: all right? And I said, yeah, boy, it's a boy

1161
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 1: it's something else really exciting. Is good because I'm going

1162
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:39,240
Speaker 1: to roll out another seven in a row with some

1163
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:40,720
Speaker 1: VH coming up.

1164
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 2: That's what he of course.

1165
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 1: He was, let me let me tell you he was

1166
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 1: a guy who was only marginally interested in the Rose

1167
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 1: Bowl game while everyone in Wisconsin was absolutely tuned in.

1168
01:21:54,040 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: So you're right though, ultimately that's where Barry Alvarez came from.

1169
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: Schooled in the Lou Holtz uh you know, methods of

1170
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 1: successful football and the rest is history, right.

1171
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 11: Yeah, without a doubt, and Lou Holtz, one of the

1172
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:13,840
Speaker 11: great college football coaches of all time, went into broadcasting

1173
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 11: for a long time, then went to South Carolina, kind

1174
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:19,439
Speaker 11: of had a second resurgence of his career after his

1175
01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:23,640
Speaker 11: time in broadcasting, then went back to broadcasting there. Some

1176
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 11: guys are just more I guess, attuned to the college

1177
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 11: game as opposed to the professional game. And right now

1178
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,599
Speaker 11: professional football and college football are blurring a lot of lines.

1179
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 11: But he was for a short time the head coach

1180
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:36,760
Speaker 11: of the New York Jets. Didn't work out for him,

1181
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:40,559
Speaker 11: went back to college and became just an absolute icon.

1182
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:44,040
Speaker 11: And you know, the college football world certainly is morning.

1183
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: The passing of Lou Holtz today. Yeah. Absolutely. He was

1184
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 1: one of the great names and again one of the

1185
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 1: great characters. And there have been a lot of.

1186
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 12: Guess they put on there, they put on there. I

1187
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 12: don't care if they're always sixteen. They put on their

1188
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:03,160
Speaker 12: past one leg time. We respect our opponents, and you

1189
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 12: know we're not gonna say, Heyboddy, for granted, I.

1190
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: Was gonna leave the impression up to you. Yeah it wasn't.

1191
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 10: I'm not gonna say that, that's one of my best questions.

1192
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 1: But he had a.

1193
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 11: Certain way of you know, he never disrespected his opponent.

1194
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:20,720
Speaker 11: Then you have to admire about him. But it did

1195
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 11: not matter how bad that football team was. You know,

1196
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 11: they were in the National Championship Game if you listen

1197
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 11: to Holtz the year prior, and they were also a

1198
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 11: contender that year.

1199
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 10: For not I say, you know, I'm any given Saturday.

1200
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 1: You know, I tell you what.

1201
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 11: We just can't afford to him not play our best football.

1202
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 1: He has had a little bit of Donald and.

1203
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 10: Daffy, and there's no doubt about all.

1204
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 1: Right, I'm gonna give you the ultimate challenge now, Doug,

1205
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:51,599
Speaker 1: because you've covered you covered this guy for a long time.

1206
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 1: Bow Ryan give me your best, Bow, Ryan.

1207
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,960
Speaker 10: I can't because the FCS won't let me.

1208
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 11: Just the thing about I sat behind You know, we've

1209
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 11: got college basketball tonight here on WISN and Milwaukee and

1210
01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:08,760
Speaker 11: WIVA in Madison and Greg Garden Bo Ryan, I mean,

1211
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:12,840
Speaker 11: their relationship goes back more than three decades, but they

1212
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 11: couldn't be any more different. Bo would if you ever

1213
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 11: sat behind the Badger's bench, and at the Big Ten Tournament,

1214
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 11: they would allow the media to sit behind the bench oftentimes.

1215
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 11: And if you were fortunate enough to sit behind Bow,

1216
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 11: you learned some new words. Number one, but number two,

1217
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 11: I mean the number of times he would just pound

1218
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:31,719
Speaker 11: a scores table.

1219
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 10: I can't bleep it. He bleep it, he bleep it.

1220
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 11: And the other thing about Bo is that he never

1221
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 11: turned off the sarcasm. Uh, no matter how badly they

1222
01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:45,639
Speaker 11: got beaten, no matter how well they won, no matter

1223
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 11: how poorly the team was doing, no matter how well

1224
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:49,320
Speaker 11: the team was doing it. Most of the time under Bow,

1225
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:51,840
Speaker 11: as we all know, they did really really well. But

1226
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:55,680
Speaker 11: that that sarcasm, that that little that the quick wit

1227
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 11: was always there.

1228
01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:58,559
Speaker 10: I loved covering Bow, Ryan.

1229
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:01,240
Speaker 11: I started covering Bow when I was at u W

1230
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:03,880
Speaker 11: Oscosh and he was still at u W Platteville. Then

1231
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:06,799
Speaker 11: he went to Milwaukee and then obviously over to Madison

1232
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:08,919
Speaker 11: and had a Hall of Fame career with the Badgers.

1233
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:11,519
Speaker 11: But yeah, Bo was you know what I mean. I

1234
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:13,639
Speaker 11: love some of these old characters. Some of the new guys.

1235
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 11: With all due respect to the to the Luke Fickles

1236
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 11: and the Greg Guards of the world, sometimes you just

1237
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 11: miss some of those old characters like a Bow Ryan

1238
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:23,680
Speaker 11: and like as we've been talking about the late Lou

1239
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 11: Holtz and pass away today.

1240
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:29,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, but real quick on on Bow Ryan. I knew

1241
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 1: bow very well because I grew up in Platteville and

1242
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: went to the Bow Ryan basketball camp. I believe it

1243
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 1: was the first or second edition of that summer basketball

1244
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 1: camp that's outstanding. Was going going into seventh grade. I'm

1245
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,040
Speaker 1: not you wouldn't know it by looking at me now

1246
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 1: as a fifty something year old guy who's made some

1247
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 1: clearly bad decisions in his life. But I was a

1248
01:25:57,479 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 1: Bow Ryan basketball camp All all Star. My friend, that's fantastic.

1249
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:05,600
Speaker 10: You still have the T shirt somewhere in your basement somewhere.

1250
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:08,880
Speaker 1: You know, I wish I did. Frame that's my mother

1251
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 1: and father passed away years ago, and things just kind

1252
01:26:12,479 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 1: of got lost in the shuffle. But yeah, and then

1253
01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 1: when I was I was at the local radio station

1254
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:21,679
Speaker 1: flapping my lips and playing those hits on the oldies station.

1255
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:24,679
Speaker 1: Bo would come in. We would have him in once

1256
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 1: a week, and he loved to sit back. We would

1257
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 1: let him DJ for an hour, pick his favorite hits.

1258
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:34,080
Speaker 1: He loved the motown, yes he did, and so we

1259
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: would jam the motown and just he would tell us

1260
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 1: story after well, you know, you covered him. He just had.

1261
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:43,759
Speaker 1: He was a wealth of stories. But I will always

1262
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:46,680
Speaker 1: remember Bo Ryan fondly, not just because he was a

1263
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: hell of a coach for you know you young man.

1264
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:51,280
Speaker 1: He was a hell of a coach for young kids.

1265
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 1: And I just I really enjoyed him as knowing him

1266
01:26:56,520 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 1: when I did. But yeah, some legendary, very colorful sports figures. Today,

1267
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:05,760
Speaker 1: we're talking of course about Lou Holes, passed away at

1268
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:10,800
Speaker 1: the age of eighty nine. Legendary football coach and commentator

1269
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,200
Speaker 1: Lou Holes. We'll take a quick break. Coming up in

1270
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:17,600
Speaker 1: just a moment, I'm going to have a conversation.

1271
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:19,760
Speaker 2: About how the war in a run.

1272
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:24,840
Speaker 1: Has been covered by the usual suspects in the accomplice media,

1273
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:29,759
Speaker 1: and as you might suspect, it has been covered almost

1274
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:35,600
Speaker 1: exclusively as a cudgel against the president of the United States.

1275
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 1: We'll talk to some experts on that very subject straight ahead.

1276
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 1: It's the Dan O'Donnell Show with your old radio amigo,

1277
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:46,720
Speaker 1: Matt Kittle, stay with us. Hello, gorgeous, how you do

1278
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:51,479
Speaker 1: and you're looking good? Glad you're here with us Wednesday

1279
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 1: at Wednesday afternoon. That's what it is, yes, Wednesday afternoon

1280
01:27:56,040 --> 01:28:02,000
Speaker 1: edition of the Dan o'donald Show. Kittle, here you are there,

1281
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:07,120
Speaker 1: and I'm grateful for that. The media war continues, however

1282
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 1: you feel about the.

1283
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:09,759
Speaker 2: War in Iran.

1284
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:15,680
Speaker 1: The usual suspects in corporate media are working overtime to

1285
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:21,040
Speaker 1: make Americans hate Donald Trump more than the dead terrorist Dietola.

1286
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:27,559
Speaker 1: These are remarkable times. Bill Agostino, senior research analyst at

1287
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:33,719
Speaker 1: the Wonderful Media Research Center and its NewsBusters Media Watchers site,

1288
01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 1: joins us now with an update on the early and

1289
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: slanted coverage per usual of corporate media. How are you, sir?

1290
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us on the Dan o'donald Show.

1291
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 5: Doing great, Thanks for having me.

1292
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:51,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys, you know I brag about you all

1293
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 1: the time because you do such fantastic work. But you've

1294
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 1: been doing this for a long time. Tracking just how

1295
01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 1: biased the corporate media as the accomplice media, as I

1296
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:06,800
Speaker 1: and some other radio folks I respect like to call them.

1297
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 1: How has the coverage been presented so far from the NBCs,

1298
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 1: the ABC's, the CBS's as it relates to the first

1299
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:18,840
Speaker 1: few days of the Iran war.

1300
01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:24,720
Speaker 5: I mean, so a lot of what's happening here is

1301
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:29,320
Speaker 5: the idea of a war crime, the notion of a

1302
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 5: war crime is basically being redefined as any military action

1303
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:39,479
Speaker 5: whatsoever that President Trump takes without the explicit authorization of Congress.

1304
01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:43,320
Speaker 5: That's that's essentially what's going on. And so so you

1305
01:29:44,280 --> 01:29:48,320
Speaker 5: hear on broadcast networks, they don't outright accuse him, right,

1306
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:50,680
Speaker 5: That's this is the game that they play. They'll say like, oh,

1307
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:53,760
Speaker 5: what many are calling a war crime? Right, or some

1308
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:57,480
Speaker 5: lawmakers are criticizing the move, and it's like, well, which lawmakers,

1309
01:29:57,520 --> 01:30:00,840
Speaker 5: Oh you mean his opposition party really their sizing Trump?

1310
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:06,040
Speaker 5: You're kidding, you know, it's all basically part of the

1311
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:10,840
Speaker 5: talking point, dressed up in the authority of experts or

1312
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,080
Speaker 5: lawmakers or what have you.

1313
01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the same kind of thing that we got

1314
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:22,120
Speaker 1: with the experts in twenty twenty twenty one into twenty

1315
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 1: two when they locked us down and told us that

1316
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 1: we'll kill everyone in ourselves if we don't wear paper

1317
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:32,440
Speaker 1: thin masks. You know, these are the sorts of experts

1318
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about now. Again, there is certainly something to

1319
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:43,639
Speaker 1: criticize different areas of the prosecution of this war so far.

1320
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,839
Speaker 1: And I understand there are certainly conservatives who are concerned

1321
01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:50,000
Speaker 1: about where all of this is going. But isn't Bill,

1322
01:30:50,080 --> 01:30:53,960
Speaker 1: isn't this the same the same song? The song remains

1323
01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 1: the same for this media. It wouldn't matter what you know,

1324
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:03,479
Speaker 1: action that the Trump administration was in. And you know

1325
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:07,800
Speaker 1: that because you have the New York Times referring to

1326
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 1: the face of Global terrorism as an uncle like character.

1327
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:18,080
Speaker 5: Right right, And so you're okay, so you're you're talking

1328
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:22,080
Speaker 5: about you mentioned the conservative criticism. But the difference is

1329
01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 5: that the conservative criticism of the way this war has

1330
01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 5: been prosecuted or the fighting of this war period. The

1331
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 5: difference is that that criticism is interesting, right, because it's

1332
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 5: substantive and it's it's principle that it's based on something.

1333
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:35,479
Speaker 11: Right.

1334
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:39,479
Speaker 5: It's a critique as opposed to what you were just

1335
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:43,960
Speaker 5: pointing out, which is basically, if Trump does anything, the

1336
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 5: media and the left writ large, including the Democratic Party,

1337
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 5: will automatically reflexively oppose it no matter what it is.

1338
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,680
Speaker 5: And this, I mean, this was actually shocking for me.

1339
01:31:55,120 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 5: This includes even the crazy neo com types like Bill

1340
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:03,599
Speaker 5: Crystal right who who up until about thirty seconds ago,

1341
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:07,000
Speaker 5: basically lived only to see more war in the Middle East,

1342
01:32:07,040 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 5: And now even he is criticizing this despite less than

1343
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:14,240
Speaker 5: two months ago insisting that Trump take action in Iran, right,

1344
01:32:14,320 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 5: because now that he's actually done something, Bill Crystal wants

1345
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:19,920
Speaker 5: to get invited back on MS now, So he has

1346
01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:22,680
Speaker 5: to criticize it, right, even if he's privately happy about it,

1347
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:25,920
Speaker 5: which I assume he is, because I mean, got how

1348
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:28,639
Speaker 5: long has has he wanted war with Iran?

1349
01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 1: Right?

1350
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,519
Speaker 5: But it's just basically all of all of the critique

1351
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:36,400
Speaker 5: that is coming from the left is is suspect immediately

1352
01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:38,519
Speaker 5: because it's it's like, well, you were going to oppose

1353
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 5: it anyway, which is you know, that's that's kind of unfortunate.

1354
01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:45,439
Speaker 5: It means that there's there's no real political discussion to

1355
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:48,080
Speaker 5: be had. It's all just instinctual and tribal.

1356
01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:53,080
Speaker 1: Yes, and let us let us remember and hasten to

1357
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:57,680
Speaker 1: remember that Bill Crystal has as many principles as a

1358
01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:03,800
Speaker 1: Minneapolis leering center. So let's keep all that in perspective.

1359
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:08,160
Speaker 1: We're talking with Bill Daugostino Sidia, a research analyst at

1360
01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:13,120
Speaker 1: the Media Research Center, and it's NewsBusters Media Watchers website.

1361
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:17,160
Speaker 1: You can find all their great work of course online. Well,

1362
01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:19,719
Speaker 1: you know, on that theme, you and I have talked

1363
01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:21,599
Speaker 1: about this. You guys have done the reporting on it.

1364
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:25,560
Speaker 1: If anybody thought there was going to be any change,

1365
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:29,840
Speaker 1: if the corporate media was chastened by the results of

1366
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:35,519
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, they were mistaken, as they have been

1367
01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:39,679
Speaker 1: many times. They hate Trump so much they will they

1368
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 1: just can't get beyond their Trump derangement syndrome. But what

1369
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:46,240
Speaker 1: are we talking about in terms of the numbers, Because

1370
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 1: you guys have really done a great job of breaking

1371
01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:53,200
Speaker 1: down the amount of negative coverage, and oftentimes you do

1372
01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:54,080
Speaker 1: that in percentages.

1373
01:33:56,680 --> 01:34:02,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, we don't have an ull encompassing total on Iran yet. Unfortunately,

1374
01:34:02,160 --> 01:34:06,680
Speaker 5: just because of the sheer volume of coverage, what we

1375
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:11,439
Speaker 5: have been looking at recently was was the h the

1376
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:15,880
Speaker 5: attack and often which at Austin, Texas, which authorities believe

1377
01:34:16,040 --> 01:34:20,599
Speaker 5: might have been inspired by by this this war being

1378
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 5: waged on Iran, and something kind of peculiar in there.

1379
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 5: We looked at CNN and MSNBC for this one. Something

1380
01:34:28,320 --> 01:34:31,920
Speaker 5: kind of peculiar in there is they've they've discussed the

1381
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:35,760
Speaker 5: shooting numerous times, CNN much more so than ms NOW

1382
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:41,200
Speaker 5: excuse me not MSNBC, ms NOW, But neither of the networks,

1383
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:44,479
Speaker 5: neither of those networks have have ever once pointed out

1384
01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:47,679
Speaker 5: that the shooter was a Muslim, right they it's it's

1385
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 5: like they're allergic to the term. They won't say Islam,

1386
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:54,000
Speaker 5: they won't say Muslim. The furthest anybody's gone is a

1387
01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:57,080
Speaker 5: couple of mentions on CNN that he had a sweat

1388
01:34:57,080 --> 01:34:58,920
Speaker 5: that the said property of a lot which was like

1389
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 5: buried in the middle of these of these reports where

1390
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:03,759
Speaker 5: they're they're kind of just dumping information on the viewer,

1391
01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:08,519
Speaker 5: presumably so that because they're hoping that that that one

1392
01:35:08,520 --> 01:35:10,960
Speaker 5: will just kind of like fly past the you know,

1393
01:35:11,160 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 5: the sensors in people's heads. But it's it's remarkable the

1394
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:19,600
Speaker 5: amount of cleanup that the media are constantly attempting to

1395
01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:22,920
Speaker 5: do for Islam, and it kind of begs the question,

1396
01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:25,160
Speaker 5: you know, is this all basically of a piece?

1397
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 3: Right?

1398
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:28,559
Speaker 5: I mean the same the same media who do this

1399
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:31,120
Speaker 5: are also the media who support Hamas are also the

1400
01:35:31,120 --> 01:35:34,639
Speaker 5: media who try to paint trend A or Ragua as

1401
01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 5: as these like miserable, sad victims of ice, right, I mean,

1402
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:43,559
Speaker 5: all of it basically gets to this deeply anti Western,

1403
01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:45,759
Speaker 5: anti American, anti Christian sentiment.

1404
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:51,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's you know, it's it's been happening for

1405
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:55,800
Speaker 1: a long time, and it's it's increasing. But given the

1406
01:35:55,880 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 1: diffusion of the new whose content marketplace, do they still

1407
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 1: have the power that they once had Because there are

1408
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:13,559
Speaker 1: so many different sources that people can turn to. They're

1409
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:16,800
Speaker 1: not the monol if that they were before, clearly, But

1410
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:22,439
Speaker 1: obviously they are reaching the audience that loves to hear

1411
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:27,120
Speaker 1: all of this stuff true or not about Donald Trump.

1412
01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:31,280
Speaker 5: Well, so they don't have the direct reach that they've

1413
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:35,799
Speaker 5: enjoyed in decades past. And certainly that is partially because

1414
01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:41,960
Speaker 5: of the glut of choices now that the consumers have, right,

1415
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:44,839
Speaker 5: and so it's much less common that you find somebody

1416
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:49,000
Speaker 5: who say tunes into ABC World News Tonight every evening

1417
01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:52,719
Speaker 5: something like that, or NBC Nightly News. But that being said,

1418
01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:57,160
Speaker 5: the broadcast networks at least do command the three most

1419
01:36:57,240 --> 01:37:01,400
Speaker 5: watched news shows in the country bind they average somewhere

1420
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 5: between like sixteen and nineteen million viewers per night, and

1421
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:11,840
Speaker 5: beyond that, it's it's also a kind of indirect influence

1422
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:14,840
Speaker 5: that they have, which is there may not be as

1423
01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:19,280
Speaker 5: many eyeballs on the ABC, CPS, NBC as there were, say,

1424
01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:23,720
Speaker 5: like a decade two decades ago, but many of the

1425
01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:27,360
Speaker 5: people in media kind of downstream of them are still

1426
01:37:27,400 --> 01:37:29,720
Speaker 5: taking their cues from them. Right. It's kind of like

1427
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:31,960
Speaker 5: the New York Times, the New York Times, as readership

1428
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:36,519
Speaker 5: is declining, but their influence, written large, it really hasn't

1429
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:39,639
Speaker 5: waned because so much of the left wing media take

1430
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:41,599
Speaker 5: cues from the New York Times, And it's very much

1431
01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:44,080
Speaker 5: the same thing with the broadcast networks because they are

1432
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:47,880
Speaker 5: so highly respected within the left wing media ecosystem, or

1433
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 5: even just the establishment elitist corporate media ecosystem read large,

1434
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:57,240
Speaker 5: declining viewership doesn't really have the same effect on them

1435
01:37:57,240 --> 01:38:00,000
Speaker 5: as it would on say, like some smaller independent outlets.

1436
01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 1: But it is curious final question for you. We are

1437
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:13,720
Speaker 1: at a point in media distribution, in in news content distribution,

1438
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:21,320
Speaker 1: where the major news outlets, the corporate media is now

1439
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:31,479
Speaker 1: writing up oh bit pieces heralding almost praising the again

1440
01:38:31,640 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 1: the global face of terrorism, Ayatola Alikamani. And it's it's

1441
01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:47,840
Speaker 1: just stunning to see this kind of I don't know,

1442
01:38:47,920 --> 01:38:52,000
Speaker 1: this kind of cover for a guy and a regime

1443
01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:57,840
Speaker 1: responsible for how many thousands of Americans deaths, you know,

1444
01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:01,400
Speaker 1: how many tends upon tens of thousands of its own

1445
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:06,240
Speaker 1: people and and the other people. It's it's astounding.

1446
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:11,320
Speaker 5: It's it's certainly disgusting. But is it that surprising, right?

1447
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:14,400
Speaker 5: I mean, how did they how did they right their

1448
01:39:14,439 --> 01:39:16,880
Speaker 5: obituary of I forget I forget his name now, but

1449
01:39:16,920 --> 01:39:20,080
Speaker 5: he was basically the top general in Iran who was

1450
01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:22,360
Speaker 5: taken out during the first Trump administration near the end

1451
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:24,800
Speaker 5: of the first Trump administration. They they did a very

1452
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 5: similar thing with him. They they also did this routinely

1453
01:39:29,400 --> 01:39:35,519
Speaker 5: with with Chavistas, with with with Cuba separatists, when I

1454
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:39,600
Speaker 5: like influential Cuber separatists, whenever they died. I mean, basically,

1455
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:47,599
Speaker 5: the the the entire anti Western military complex across across

1456
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:49,880
Speaker 5: the country, and certainly that's not sorry across the world,

1457
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:53,120
Speaker 5: and that's not that's obviously not a a unified thing.

1458
01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:57,800
Speaker 5: But wherever, wherever these left wing outlets identify that they

1459
01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:00,400
Speaker 5: have this weird soft spot for them, and and again,

1460
01:40:00,600 --> 01:40:03,599
Speaker 5: I think it comes back to just in their heart

1461
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:08,120
Speaker 5: of heart being sort of anti America minded. Maybe not

1462
01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 5: explicitly so in all cases, but it certainly bleeds out

1463
01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:17,040
Speaker 5: when you read obituaries like this right of command. But

1464
01:40:17,280 --> 01:40:18,920
Speaker 5: this is I mean, this is something that The New

1465
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:21,679
Speaker 5: York Times have been doing for a while, and it's

1466
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:25,920
Speaker 5: nice to see them finally getting hammered for it, right

1467
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:30,680
Speaker 5: by so many people who otherwise generally seem to not

1468
01:40:30,760 --> 01:40:35,080
Speaker 5: be aware that they're writing this garbage. But it's it's

1469
01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 5: not a problem that I see being cured at the

1470
01:40:37,360 --> 01:40:40,519
Speaker 5: New York Times anytime soon, right, or the Washington Post

1471
01:40:40,600 --> 01:40:43,719
Speaker 5: for that matter, or really any of the left wing media.

1472
01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:46,160
Speaker 5: I mean, the issue is, if you want to see reform,

1473
01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:48,920
Speaker 5: if you want to see some quote unquote lesson learned,

1474
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:54,439
Speaker 5: then a lot of these outlets, print, television, whatever are

1475
01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 5: going to have to have some pretty colossal staff turnover

1476
01:40:58,200 --> 01:41:01,080
Speaker 5: something like eighty ninety percent of the people there are

1477
01:41:01,080 --> 01:41:03,400
Speaker 5: going to have to know no longer be there if

1478
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:06,839
Speaker 5: if you want the tone and behavior of these outlets

1479
01:41:06,880 --> 01:41:10,160
Speaker 5: to change, and that's that's something that can only really

1480
01:41:10,200 --> 01:41:12,439
Speaker 5: be done by the business side, right at the very top.

1481
01:41:12,640 --> 01:41:14,800
Speaker 5: And I mean, you know, we've we've seen how the

1482
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:18,200
Speaker 5: Washington Post has their their writing staff have reacted to

1483
01:41:19,160 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 5: much smaller, much more reasonable changes than that that Jeff

1484
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:24,479
Speaker 5: Bezos has been making it the paper right, So it's

1485
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:26,800
Speaker 5: it's it's kind of an uphill battle for anybody that

1486
01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:30,680
Speaker 5: wants to reform any of these networks or ers or

1487
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:31,160
Speaker 5: what have you.

1488
01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:39,479
Speaker 1: Colemani, the white bearded, pushy bearded uncle like figure, always

1489
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:43,559
Speaker 1: had a mischievous look in his eyes, but he was

1490
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:47,360
Speaker 1: always ready for a quick smile or a word of

1491
01:41:47,479 --> 01:41:50,840
Speaker 1: encouragement to the young terrorists who looked up to him.

1492
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:56,000
Speaker 1: That's the sort of crap, that's the sort of writing.

1493
01:41:56,640 --> 01:42:01,240
Speaker 5: That it's crazy on the.

1494
01:42:03,320 --> 01:42:06,280
Speaker 1: It's just awful. I mean, it's just it's it's amazing.

1495
01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:09,960
Speaker 1: But we we're definitely thankful that you guys continue to

1496
01:42:10,320 --> 01:42:13,439

Speaker 1: they want the knowledge here it is, this is what

1498
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:20,360

Speaker 1: to including, oh, I love this story. You get these.

1515
01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:35,880
Speaker 1: I'm a history buff, I'm a history geek, particularly an

1516
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:39,120
Speaker 1: American history geek. I admit it, and I'm proud of it.

1517
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:43,160
Speaker 1: And you get a lot of these colorful fun stories

1518
01:43:43,160 --> 01:43:48,240
Speaker 1: about founding fathers, and a number of them involved drinking

1519
01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:54,240
Speaker 1: and drinking a lot, and one of our Supreme Court

1520
01:43:54,479 --> 01:44:01,519
Speaker 1: justices brought this up, I believe recently in hearing a case.

1521
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:05,800
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken. We'll delve into that coming up

1522
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:10,719
Speaker 1: in just a bit. First, though, we need to tell

1523
01:44:10,760 --> 01:44:17,479
Speaker 1: you that this death to America moment is brought to

1524
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:24,360
Speaker 1: you by the Democrat Party generally is the sponsor of

1525
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:31,200
Speaker 1: the death to America movement. And there are some folks

1526
01:44:31,200 --> 01:44:38,639
Speaker 1: that are saying new new from Fox News. NASA County

1527
01:44:38,720 --> 01:44:44,240
Speaker 1: Executive Bruce Blakeman, NASA County, New York. And think about that,

1528
01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:47,080
Speaker 1: a Republican from New York. I know it's strange, but

1529
01:44:47,080 --> 01:44:49,639
Speaker 1: here you go. He's the Republican front runner for governor.

1530
01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:57,559
Speaker 1: He blasted a pro Palestinian Columbia University student group surprise surprise,

1531
01:44:58,400 --> 01:45:02,760
Speaker 1: after it posted death to America in Farsi following the

1532
01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:09,440
Speaker 1: reported killing of Iran's supreme leader. To the Columbia University

1533
01:45:09,520 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 1: students and faculty who posted death to America, I have

1534
01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:21,560
Speaker 1: one message for you. Get the bleep out. That's the

1535
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:28,040
Speaker 1: F dash dash dash word, the mother of all swear words, Ralphie,

1536
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:32,640
Speaker 1: Get the f blank blank blank out, Blakeman said in

1537
01:45:32,680 --> 01:45:36,400
Speaker 1: a video message obtained by Fox News Digital. The controversy

1538
01:45:36,479 --> 01:45:42,559
Speaker 1: quickly spilled into the race against Democrat Governor Kathy Hokel,

1539
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:50,040
Speaker 1: who has continenced all kinds of death to America nonsense

1540
01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:55,559
Speaker 1: in her deep blue state. To Governor Cathy Hokeel, I've

1541
01:45:55,600 --> 01:46:00,080
Speaker 1: been arguing Blakeman, arguing progressive leaders in New York have

1542
01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:05,479
Speaker 1: failed to confront what he calls rising anti American extremism

1543
01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:10,559
Speaker 1: at elite universities. And we saw plenty of that at

1544
01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:14,920
Speaker 1: Columbia within the last couple of years. Some of that

1545
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:19,280
Speaker 1: crap is settled down, in no small part thanks to

1546
01:46:20,040 --> 01:46:24,639
Speaker 1: President Trump and some executive orders saying keep playing that game, folks,

1547
01:46:24,840 --> 01:46:32,800
Speaker 1: and there goes your federal funding. Columbia University Apartheid divest,

1548
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 1: which is not recognized by the university administration, describes itself

1549
01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 1: as a coalition of student organizations that view a Palestinian

1550
01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:51,240
Speaker 1: state as quote the vanguard for our collective liberation, and

1551
01:46:51,320 --> 01:46:55,360
Speaker 1: says it is a continuation of the Vietnam era anti

1552
01:46:55,439 --> 01:47:02,080
Speaker 1: war movement. There you go, There you go, folks. Are

1553
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:11,080
Speaker 1: taught by the children of the professors who grew up

1554
01:47:11,200 --> 01:47:19,639
Speaker 1: out of the inside the Vietnam War era. They loved

1555
01:47:19,760 --> 01:47:25,240
Speaker 1: their protests and their demonstrations. They loved their anti American.

1556
01:47:26,439 --> 01:47:27,320
Speaker 2: Esprit de corps.

1557
01:47:28,240 --> 01:47:31,519
Speaker 1: They loved all of that, and they wanted to pass

1558
01:47:31,600 --> 01:47:36,240
Speaker 1: that along to the next generations. Really, what they wanted

1559
01:47:36,280 --> 01:47:43,320
Speaker 1: to pass along is the teaching of the Frankfurt School,

1560
01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:50,600
Speaker 1: a school of Marxists in the early to mid twentieth

1561
01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:56,120
Speaker 1: century that brought our universities, our taxpayer funded universities, the

1562
01:47:56,240 --> 01:48:02,200
Speaker 1: joys of critical theory. Does that sound familiar, Well, sure,

1563
01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 1: you've heard of critical race theory. That's a child of

1564
01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:12,280
Speaker 1: critical theory, which looks at everything through the prism of

1565
01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:18,880
Speaker 1: the oppressor and the oppressed. And these folks believe that

1566
01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:26,000
Speaker 1: they are constantly oppressed and that nobody else outside of

1567
01:48:27,400 --> 01:48:32,280
Speaker 1: their group, their gang, should have any rights whatsoever because

1568
01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:37,320
Speaker 1: they are the oppressor. It's a lot of crap, but

1569
01:48:37,360 --> 01:48:39,640
Speaker 1: that's what's going on in our university. It's going on

1570
01:48:39,720 --> 01:48:46,480
Speaker 1: for a long time. The group tweeted marg bar America

1571
01:48:47,920 --> 01:48:51,360
Speaker 1: or death to America, I guess in Farsi on Saturday

1572
01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:57,120
Speaker 1: after Kamani was killed. Exis since taken down the post.

1573
01:48:57,439 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 1: The development infuriated Blakeman, understandably, who is now the top

1574
01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:06,600
Speaker 1: name in the GOP field. Following the withdrawal of Representative

1575
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:13,280
Speaker 1: Elistophonic Republican New York in the gubernatorial race there. Blakeman

1576
01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:17,280
Speaker 1: called the situation disgusting in a statement and urged immediate

1577
01:49:17,360 --> 01:49:22,000
Speaker 1: action against the student group. Let's be clear, this isn't activism,

1578
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:28,400
Speaker 1: it's extremism and incites terror. American universities exist because of

1579
01:49:28,439 --> 01:49:34,280
Speaker 1: the freedoms, protections, and opportunities this country provides. To have

1580
01:49:36,479 --> 01:49:45,000
Speaker 1: college students and professors constantly screaming death to America is

1581
01:49:45,120 --> 01:49:53,360
Speaker 1: not a carte blanche freedom guaranteed, especially when some of

1582
01:49:53,400 --> 01:49:57,640
Speaker 1: the people screaming death to America are actually trying to

1583
01:49:57,760 --> 01:50:02,880
Speaker 1: make that happen, to facilitate to turn that slogan, to

1584
01:50:02,920 --> 01:50:07,639
Speaker 1: turn that chant into action, and we've seen a lot

1585
01:50:07,680 --> 01:50:10,400
Speaker 1: of that. Of course, we have time for this, I

1586
01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:14,320
Speaker 1: hope we do. We were talking about the fraud Tim Walls,

1587
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:20,200
Speaker 1: governor of the fraudulent state of Minnesota. He was in

1588
01:50:20,200 --> 01:50:25,640
Speaker 1: the hot seat before Congress, before the House Committee on

1589
01:50:25,960 --> 01:50:29,840
Speaker 1: Oversight played some clips before James Coleman, the chairman of

1590
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:35,000
Speaker 1: that committee, grilling Walls. Walls not looking very good throughout.

1591
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:37,040
Speaker 1: I got a little something extra for you. This guy

1592
01:50:38,240 --> 01:50:42,840
Speaker 1: in Congress, I think is really made a name for himself.

1593
01:50:43,479 --> 01:50:47,680
Speaker 1: His name is Brandon Gill. He's a representative from Texas.

1594
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:51,880
Speaker 1: He does this stuff remarkably well. That is to say,

1595
01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:57,479
Speaker 1: really take it to the frauds and the phonies who

1596
01:50:57,520 --> 01:51:02,480
Speaker 1: come before them when it's related to government corruption in particular.

1597
01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:07,520
Speaker 1: And this exchange from today's hearing before the Oversight Committee

1598
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:12,120
Speaker 1: is all about the whistle blowers in Minnesota who kept

1599
01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 1: trying to warn the governor and his administration. We got

1600
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:19,760
Speaker 1: a problem here with fraud and the retribution that they

1601
01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:22,040
Speaker 1: faced because of it. Let's get a little listen to this,

1602
01:51:22,040 --> 01:51:23,640
Speaker 1: because I think this is a fun exchange.

1603
01:51:23,880 --> 01:51:25,960
Speaker 13: All right, Well, let's go there. Is it racist for

1604
01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:28,120
Speaker 13: a government official do identify fraud?

1605
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:31,280
Speaker 1: That's cool?

1606
01:51:32,040 --> 01:51:32,120
Speaker 6: No?

1607
01:51:32,439 --> 01:51:37,240
Speaker 13: Is it islamophobic to identify fraud? To identify fraud?

1608
01:51:37,360 --> 01:51:38,719
Speaker 1: I know, I don't believe it would.

1609
01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:42,439
Speaker 13: How come multiple whistleblowers have said that your administration told

1610
01:51:42,439 --> 01:51:46,080
Speaker 13: them not to say anything about widespread fraud across multiple

1611
01:51:46,120 --> 01:51:50,440
Speaker 13: agencies because doing so would be considered racist or islamophobic.

1612
01:51:50,920 --> 01:51:52,880
Speaker 1: I can't speak to it because it's not anything I

1613
01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:53,439
Speaker 1: would say.

1614
01:51:53,880 --> 01:51:57,800
Speaker 13: Well, that's what your administration has said and has hold whistleblowers,

1615
01:51:57,840 --> 01:52:00,599
Speaker 13: and as you just testified the bucks stop with you.

1616
01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:03,599
Speaker 13: That's what you stated in your in your statement whenever

1617
01:52:03,640 --> 01:52:05,840
Speaker 13: you announced you weren't running again. Are you familiar with

1618
01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:06,640
Speaker 13: fay Bernstein?

1619
01:52:08,640 --> 01:52:10,680
Speaker 1: I yes, I'm familiar with the name.

1620
01:52:10,840 --> 01:52:12,000
Speaker 13: She's a Democrat, isn't she.

1621
01:52:12,600 --> 01:52:13,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know that.

1622
01:52:13,520 --> 01:52:16,559
Speaker 13: She stated publicly that she's a Democrat. She's only voted

1623
01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:21,479
Speaker 13: Democrat in her life. She's also stated publicly that she

1624
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:24,519
Speaker 13: was retaliated against and called racist and that her work

1625
01:52:24,560 --> 01:52:29,040
Speaker 13: responsibilities were diminished whenever she was highlighting fraud within your administration.

1626
01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:31,560
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with that? I couldn't speak. Why do

1627
01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:31,840
Speaker 1: you think?

1628
01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:33,960
Speaker 13: Why do you think she would say.

1629
01:52:33,760 --> 01:52:35,920
Speaker 1: That I can't speak?

1630
01:52:36,280 --> 01:52:39,760
Speaker 13: You have no idea, I do. You would agree that

1631
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:43,280
Speaker 13: the tone in your administration comes from from you ultimately?

1632
01:52:43,360 --> 01:52:43,519
Speaker 5: Right?

1633
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:46,320
Speaker 13: The tone is that the tone of how you might

1634
01:52:46,360 --> 01:52:49,559
Speaker 13: deal with whistleblowers, right, and we protect them. It doesn't

1635
01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:53,360
Speaker 13: sound like you're protecting them. We heard from Representative Kristin

1636
01:52:53,479 --> 01:52:56,639
Speaker 13: Robbins quote, we have dozens of credible whistleblower reports saying

1637
01:52:56,960 --> 01:52:59,200
Speaker 13: the exact same thing. That people were told not to

1638
01:52:59,200 --> 01:53:02,280
Speaker 13: say anything because as they'd be called racist or islamophobic

1639
01:53:02,640 --> 01:53:05,040
Speaker 13: or it would hurt the state. Do you think it's

1640
01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:08,839
Speaker 13: racist or islamophobic to highlight and try to stop fraud?

1641
01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:10,920
Speaker 1: It is not, and I certainly.

1642
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:13,400
Speaker 13: It's not that that was the message your administration was

1643
01:53:13,439 --> 01:53:15,160
Speaker 13: sending to multiple whistleblowers.

1644
01:53:15,479 --> 01:53:17,680
Speaker 1: I can't speak to that. I can't speak to that.

1645
01:53:18,400 --> 01:53:21,000
Speaker 1: I can't speak to that because that would get me

1646
01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:23,560
Speaker 1: into a lot of trouble. I would have to acknowledge

1647
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:31,000
Speaker 1: what everybody here knows. And again, even the most mediocre

1648
01:53:31,160 --> 01:53:35,280
Speaker 1: attorney knows the answer to the question before it is asked,

1649
01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:39,120
Speaker 1: and Brandon Gill is very, very good at that. I

1650
01:53:39,280 --> 01:53:44,160
Speaker 1: really enjoyed that exchange with a sweating Tim Walls in

1651
01:53:44,200 --> 01:53:48,599
Speaker 1: the hot seat today. Okay, oh yeah, this is fun.

1652
01:53:48,840 --> 01:53:52,840
Speaker 1: Before we h we check out tonight. Justice Neil Gorsich

1653
01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:55,880
Speaker 1: spent a portion of the Supreme Court oral argument this

1654
01:53:55,920 --> 01:53:59,519
Speaker 1: week exploring what a habitual drunkard is as part of

1655
01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:02,920
Speaker 1: a case centered on whether a drug user is allowed

1656
01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:06,080
Speaker 1: to own a gun. Of Coursich question the Department of

1657
01:54:06,200 --> 01:54:11,240
Speaker 1: Justice lawyer on how gun restrictions for habitual drunkards. You

1658
01:54:11,320 --> 01:54:15,960
Speaker 1: gotta love that term habitual drunkards in early American history

1659
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:21,719
Speaker 1: compared to today's law restricting drug users from owning guns.

1660
01:54:22,439 --> 01:54:25,519
Speaker 1: The DOJ was required to point to a string a

1661
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:30,840
Speaker 1: strong historical comparison to prove the modern law was constitutional,

1662
01:54:31,320 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 1: and it chose to use the Founding era laws about

1663
01:54:34,520 --> 01:54:39,360
Speaker 1: habitual drunkards. The American Temperance Society back in the day

1664
01:54:40,240 --> 01:54:43,880
Speaker 1: said eight shots of whiskey a day only made you

1665
01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:51,200
Speaker 1: an occasional drunkard. Gourses the Conservative Justice pointed to the

1666
01:54:51,240 --> 01:54:54,560
Speaker 1: Founding Father's drinking habits to convey his skepticism about the

1667
01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 1: DOJ's argument that a habitual drunker was similar to a

1668
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:03,160
Speaker 1: modern day drug user and that both were worthy of

1669
01:55:03,240 --> 01:55:07,960
Speaker 1: being disarmed. John Adams took a tankard of Hardsider a

1670
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:12,360
Speaker 1: tankard my God with his breakfast every day. James Madison

1671
01:55:12,400 --> 01:55:16,840
Speaker 1: reportedly drank a pint of whiskey every day. Thomas Jefferson

1672
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:20,880
Speaker 1: said he wasn't much of a user of alcohol. He

1673
01:55:21,040 --> 01:55:23,280
Speaker 1: only had three or four glasses of wine and nites.

1674
01:55:27,080 --> 01:55:29,680
Speaker 1: You gotta love the Founding Fathers for so many reasons.

1675
01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:33,600
Speaker 1: Eight glasses and you're an occasional drunkard. There you go.

1676
01:55:34,480 --> 01:55:39,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to Wisconsin. The Founding Fathers they you are home. Hey,

1677
01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:41,880
Speaker 1: make it a great Wednesday night talk to you soon,

1678
01:55:41,960 --> 01:55:44,040
Speaker 1: Kittles saying goodbye, so long, God bless
