1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Welcome to another busy broadcast week. On a beautiful fall 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: Monday afternoon, I am Dan o'donald. Three hours of broadcast 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: excellence sore at the very least, and let's face it, 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: far more likely broadcast competence on the way your daily 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: Trump date coming up in the four o'clock hour. On 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: this the twenty seventh day of the federal government shut down. 7 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: And now there is a new panic on the political left. 8 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with President Trump's demolition of 9 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 1: the East Wing of the White House. It has everything 10 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: to do with President Trump getting rid of snap benefits 11 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,639 Speaker 1: for millions of Americans. Democrats conveniently forget that. All they 12 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: need to do is convince five dem Senators to join 13 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: every single Republican in passing a clean continuing resolution, and 14 00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: this shutdown would end to day daily Trump Day coming 15 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: up at the top of the four o'clock hour. In 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour. The presidential election of twenty twenty 17 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: eight has already begun even before the twenty twenty six midterms. 18 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: How do I know, because Democrat candidates are already inventing 19 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: new biographies for themselves. The hilarious reinvention of California Governor 20 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom going on an NBA podcast to say, essentially, 21 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: I was born a poor black child. That's coming up, 22 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: but first we begin with a terrifying thought for anybody 23 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: who is not crazy in New York that the next 24 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: mayor of the biggest city in America, the most important 25 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: city in America, or so. New Yorkers keep telling us 26 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: that an outright communist is about to be the mayor. Now, 27 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: crazy New Yorkers are overjoyed by this. They want Zoran, Mom, Donnie, 28 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: and they spent all weekend at a big rally telling 29 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: New Yorkers they're not crazy. Here's my darling, AOCS. 30 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: I just remember, in a time such as this, we 31 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: are not the crazy ones, New York City. We are 32 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 2: not the outlandish ones New York City. They want us 33 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: to think we are crazy. 34 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 3: We are sane. 35 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: Oh yes, when you have to remind people, we are 36 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: saying clearly you are sane, especially when you start shrieking 37 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: like this like three minutes later.

That's why there 70 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: was the big rally yesterday featuring AOC featuring the left 71 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: wing Governor of New York, Kathy Hokeel all in support 72 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: of Zoron. Mom Donnie. Now, undoubtedly you here in Wisconsin 73 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: or wherever across this great country of ours, you're listening 74 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: to the Dan O'Donnell show on iHeartRadio. You have heard 75 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: a lot about Zohran, Mom, Donnie, and that he's a communist, 76 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: that he has disastrous policies that are going to destroy 77 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: New York What I don't think I have heard is 78 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: people explaining to you just why his policies are doomed 79 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: to failure. We have a tendency in conservative media just 80 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: as much as the left. Well, nobody can be as 81 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: hyperbolic as the left, but we have this unfortunate tendency 82 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: to like left wing media, just repeat the same sort 83 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: of jingoistic phrases over and over and over again without 84 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: really backing up what it is we mean by them. 85 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: That's what we're going to do this hour, not repeat 86 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: jingoistic phrases. Of course, you know the reason we say 87 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: this show is about conservative thought and not just talk. 88 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: We are going to go through Zorn Mamdanni's key campaign 89 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: promises as outlined in his big rally yesterday, and explain 90 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: in detail why they are a fundamentally socialistic, if not 91 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: openly communistic at heart, and why free market principles established 92 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: over centuries doom them to perpetual failure. In his big 93 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: speech yesterday, he outlined three major policy initiatives. All of 94 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: them sound fantastic, and it got me thinking as I 95 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: watched the entire mom Donnie's speech and was actually taken 96 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: with what an incredibly effective communicator. He was, Folks, Joseph 97 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: Stalin didn't rise to power in the Soviet Union because 98 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: he was some sort of wolf, because he was a 99 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: shrinking violet. No, it was because what he was proposing 100 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: was very widely supported. On its face, everything that Mamdanni 101 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: proposes sounds like a great idea unless you actually spend 102 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: five minutes or so really thinking about it. In this speech, 103 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: he outlined three major policy initiatives, and then, because he's 104 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: speaking to a bunch of brain dead children, he had 105 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: to lead them in a chat. 106 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 4: Here is what we stand for, my friends. We are 107 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 4: going to freeze the rent for more than two million 108 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: rent stabilized tenants and use every resource at our disposal 109 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 4: to build housing for everyone who needs it. We are 110 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 4: going to eliminate the fair on every single bus line 111 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 4: and make what are currently the slowest buses in the 112 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 4: nation move around this city with ease. You're going to 113 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 4: create universal childcare at no cost to parents. 114 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: But I tell you it sounds great, right. Here's the 115 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: chat now, so New. 116 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 4: Yorkers can raise their family in the city they love. Together, 117 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 4: New York, We're going to freeze the together New York. 118 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 4: We're gonna make buses fast and together, New York, We're 119 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 4: gonna deliver universal We will make our city one where 120 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 4: every person who calls it home can live a dignified life. 121 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: All right. Three major policy initiatives there, and all three 122 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: are sort of emblematic of utopian socialism that has been 123 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: sweeping the American life left, particularly when it comes to 124 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: city governments. Rent freezes, free public transportation, and free childcare 125 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: for all parents. Let's take on each of those in 126 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: depth and explain why they simply will not work. First, 127 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: freezing the rents. 128 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 4: We are going to freeze the rent for more than 129 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: two million rent stabilized tenants and use every resource at 130 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 4: our disposal to build housing for everyone who needs it. 131 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: All right, So, how is it that rent freezes actually 132 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: cause prices to skyrocket and cause quality of life for 133 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: those renters to dramatically decline The simple rule of supply 134 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: and demand. What rent freezes do is to cap the 135 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: revenue that landlords are able to make well below market. 136 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: What this does, in turn, is discourage landlords from maintaining 137 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: or adding rental properties. Why would you rent out a 138 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: property when you can simply offer it for sale as 139 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: a condo and you can get far more money than 140 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: you would get in even fifteen or twenty years worth 141 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: of rent controlled rent. This shrinks the total number of 142 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: rental units available. What that does, in turn is intensify 143 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 1: competition for the remaining units and push prices upwards as 144 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: people are getting into bidding wars to get the remaining 145 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: units that are not rent controlled. One thing that we've 146 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: known about years of rent controlled living in New York 147 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: is that people who have rent control departments never ever 148 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 1: ever leave them. And why would they. The rent is 149 00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: set at oftentimes nineteen seventies or nineteen eighties one rates, 150 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 1: and no matter what, it's never ever going to go up. 151 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: So what happens is elderly family members will leave those 152 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: rent control departments to new tenants, never allowing the people 153 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: who rent freezes are meant to help lower income workers 154 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: get a foothold for housing. We actually saw this in 155 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: widespread rent controls during World War II, which shifted supply 156 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: in the ownership market. There were studies done that showed 157 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: rental units actually decreased by up to fifteen percent simply 158 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: because controls were put on how much you could charge 159 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: for rent. Even more recently, there was an expansion of 160 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: rent control in San Francisco in nineteen ninety four. Wouldn't 161 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: you know it? Even fifty years after the World War 162 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: iiO rent controls, rent supply dropped an identical fifteen percent 163 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: for small multifamily buildings because people just weren't leaving. People 164 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: would get into rent controlled apartments, they would bequeath them 165 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: to family members, leaving people who were looking for first 166 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: time homes out in the dust. Not only that, there 167 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: is a decided decline in housing quality because there's deferred 168 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: maintenance on those rent controlled properties. Frozen costs for rentals 169 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: don't halt rising costs for property taxes or insurance rates, 170 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: or utilities or repairs. Most US cities have those costs 171 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: at about four to five percent. Well, if landlords are 172 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: not allowed to increase rent who cover those costs, they 173 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: face squeezed profits, and oftentimes the thing that goes by 174 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: the wayside is upkeep. There have been past rent freezes 175 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: in New York City, buildings saw increase distress for closures 176 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: rows as revenues couldn't cover the expenses. In fact, there 177 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 1: was a Journal of Housing Economic survey done just last 178 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: year that confirmed rent controls lead to quote dilapidation of 179 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: rental units, reducing overall quality and forcing tenants into pricier alternatives. 180 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to live in squalor. But if squalor is 181 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: all you can get with a rent controlled market, and 182 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: you can get something that's actually livable in a non 183 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: rent controlled marketplace, you're going to go there. If poor 184 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: will we maintained units deteriorate to the point that they 185 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: become uninhabitable, which does happen, housing supply is further shrunk. 186 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: There are also issues with mixed buildings. So in New 187 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: York especially, there will be buildings high rises that will 188 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: have rent controlled apartments and units that are subject to 189 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: free market prices. What do you think landlords are going 190 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 1: to do for unregulated rents to offset the revenue that 191 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: they're losing from rents that they can increase. Obviously, they 192 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: are going to dramatically increase rent on those units that 193 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: are not rent controlled. A study of New York City's 194 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: apartment market done earlier this year showed that this could 195 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: raise non stabilized rents by ten to fifteen percent just 196 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: in the next couple of years. The issue, of course, 197 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:05,119 Speaker 1: is that while supply stays the same or even shrinks, 198 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: demand increases exponentially in unregulated rental units. This study found 199 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: that roughly sixty percent of renters in New York City 200 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: face steep rental hikes. Overall, city wide rents will rise 201 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: due to the one point four percent vacancy rate, meaning 202 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: almost nobody is leaving their apartments in New York As 203 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: far back as twenty eighteen, The Brookings Institution found that 204 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: this transfers benefits from future low income renters who face 205 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: five to seven percent higher entry rents to current renters, 206 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: oftentimes who are wealthier because they're older, because they are 207 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: able to spend more of their available resources on things 208 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: other than rent. They're never leaving. There is no supply, 209 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: and the more you expand rent freezes, the more you 210 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: are simply enriching un entrenched, already rented out bureaucracy at 211 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: the expense of younger, typically poorer people who are just 212 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: looking for affordable housing. Ironically, the poorest will suffer the 213 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: most under Mom Donnie's proposed rent freezes free city buses. 214 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: It's something that we're experimenting with here in Milwaukee with 215 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: the trolley. We'll get into that coming up next as 216 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: we take on Democrat, Socialist Communism is until Halloween. All 217 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: Halloween bumper music here on the Dan o'donald Show. Hope 218 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: everybody enjoyed trick or treating this past weekend. For those 219 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: who did this weekend, I know city of Milwaukee, I 220 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: think does Madison do Halloween as well. A number of 221 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: cities in southeast Wisconsin will do it this Friday. Our 222 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: community did Saturday. We do have up at Facebook, Facebook 223 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: dot com slash Dan o'donald Show. I'm going to put 224 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: them up on Instagram and on x later in the week. 225 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: We do have our official twenty twenty five o'donald family 226 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: Halloween costumes. Yes we did incorporate the dog, and yes 227 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: we did base our costumes on the dog's name, which 228 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: happens to be Buddy. I think you can probably guess 229 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: where we're going with this, so I guess if you 230 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: want to see me in tights, head to Facebook dot 231 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: com slash Dan o'donald Show. A lot of people commenting 232 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: and saying where are the kids? Where? How come the 233 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: kids aren't involved in the family costume anymore? My friends, 234 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,959 Speaker 1: if you can get an eighteen year old and a 235 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: fifteen year old boy to go along with a family 236 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 1: costume when there may be tights involved. I would love 237 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: your suggest questions and an eleven year old girl she 238 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: is going to do a costume with her friends. Come 239 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 1: hell or high water, check out the costumes and guess 240 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 1: how many times I got bit on the fingers while 241 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: trying to put the little hat on the puppy. Facebook 242 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: dot com slash Dan o'donald's show Zoran Mom Donnie, I 243 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 1: hate to break it to you, folks, is going to 244 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: be the next mayor of New York City. There just 245 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: is no way that Andrew Cuomo, even if Curtis Sliwa 246 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: had dropped out the Republican running in this race, he 247 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: was not going to be able to make up for 248 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,360 Speaker 1: Mom Donnie's Democratic nomination. She's running an independent bid. And 249 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: the base of support that Mom Donnie has A lot 250 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: has been made out of the fact that Mom Donnie 251 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: has about twenty four percent support among native born New 252 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: Yorkers people who were born in this country. Among foreign 253 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: born New Yorkers, his support is at fifty two percent. 254 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: Do with that information what you like. Now, there is 255 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: a lot of talk about how Mamdani is an Islamist radical, Folks, 256 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: This cannot possibly be the case that he's somehow anti Semitic. No, 257 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, he just got the endorsement of the 258 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: transgender rabbis of New York City. I wish I was 259 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: making this up. Three female far left rabbis and one 260 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: dude with a deep voice and a vaguely foreign accent 261 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: cut the most cringe ad for the man you will see. Yeah, Abba, Hi, Rabbi. 262 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 3: Hi, Rabbi Hi. 263 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 5: We're among the thousands of Jewish New Yorkers who've been 264 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 5: out door knocking and phone banking to Alexa Ron Mamdani. 265 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: We're also rabbis. 266 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 6: We know Zoranabophi to make our city affordable and safe 267 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 6: for our families. 268 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: And for our neighbors of all faiths and backgrounds. 269 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 7: As New Yorkers were also just people who live here 270 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 7: who don't want to get priced out of this incredible 271 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 7: city that we call home. 272 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: Well, then you probably shouldn't support his rent freezes. I'm 273 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 1: sorry I had to cut that short, folks. I was 274 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: at risk. I was at very serious risk of dying 275 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: from cringe. Could you tell which one was the transgender 276 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: female rabbi, the one who is sort of sounding like 277 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: Schwartz and Nagar. So we went through Zoron's first major 278 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: campaign promise to freeze the rent and explained how basic 279 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: market principles that inevitably elude far left radicals make this 280 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: a constant failure. He is also promising to make bus 281 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: rides free. 282 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 4: We are going to eliminate the fare on every single 283 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 4: bus line and make what are currently the slowest buses 284 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 4: in the nation move around this city with ease. 285 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: Now, how would you be able to do that? What 286 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: is the big thing preventing buses in New York City 287 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: from moving around with ease other vehicles? 288 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 6: Right? 289 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: What he's talking about is incentivizing people to not use 290 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: their own vehicles, not use Uber, not use yellow cabs. 291 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: What he's talking about is even further taxation on cars. 292 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: You didn't explicitly say that, So let's just stick with 293 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: his idea to make buses free. Well, as anyone with 294 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: half a brain undoubtedly knows, public transit systems rely on 295 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: fairbox revenue to cover costs like fuel, maintenance, labor. Typically, 296 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: fairbox revenue is anywhere from twenty to fifty percent of 297 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: a given transit systems operating budget. If you eliminate that 298 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: massive source of revenue. There is a big funding gap 299 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: which is very difficult to fill. There was a pilot 300 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: program from twenty twenty to earlier this year in Kansas 301 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: City with a zero fare policy. It costs eight to 302 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: ten million dollars yearly and forced cuts to routes and 303 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: maintenance when federal COVID nineteen relief funds dried up. There 304 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: is one country that has nationwide total free bus rides, Luxembourg. 305 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: Guess how much it spends on free public transportation. It 306 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: actually has to divert resources from things like universal healthcare 307 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: to pay for free public transportation one billion dollars. It 308 00:22:54,640 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: is a massive cost. The City of Milwaukee is currently 309 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: facing a massive transportation system shortfall. Milwaukee County transit system 310 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: not City of Milwaukee. Milwaukee County big reason for that. 311 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: In fact, the total reason for the more than ten 312 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: million dollar budget shortfall is that there are so many 313 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: people simply not paying the fares to ride the buses 314 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 1: that we are spending a ton of money without the 315 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: revenue that is commensurate with the amount of money that 316 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: is going into actually running the buses. And guess what's 317 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: happening in Milwaukee County To offset those costs which are 318 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: staying the same, but the revenue that is going away 319 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: because people aren't paying at the fare box routes are 320 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 1: being cut. Money is going to need to be diverted 321 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: from elsewhere in the county budget in order to cover 322 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: up for the lack of funding. One of the other 323 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: issues that's an unintended consequence is the behavioral shift of 324 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: the people on the buses. If you're not paying to 325 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: ride the bus, who is likely to just kind of 326 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: hang out on the buses to get out of the cold. 327 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: You will have a lot of vagrants on the buses, 328 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people with severe mental health issues, a 329 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: lot of drug addicts who are otherwise on the streets, 330 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: and free systems attract way more of these people. Once again, 331 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: Kansas City five year pilot program to have a free 332 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: bus system, there was a fifteen percent uptick in vandalism 333 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 1: and security incidents on those free buses. Not only will 334 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: you have to cover the cost from elsewhere, you also 335 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: run the risk that there will be more people who 336 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: aren't taking the buses. And buses are not particularly common 337 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: modes of transportation in New y Or because, as mom 338 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 1: Donnie said, they are actually very very slow most people 339 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: take the subway, and guess what a big problem with 340 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: the subway has become people who are simply jumping over 341 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: the turnstile, not paying the fare. And therefore you have 342 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: people attracted to the subway knowing full well they're not 343 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: going to get arrested for fair evasion, who are mentally ill, 344 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: who are drug addicts, who are criminals, who aren't actually 345 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: going from point A to point B, but just hanging 346 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: out in the subways to panhandle to a cost people 347 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: to cause trouble. It is a major, major problem. Once again, 348 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: just like with rent freezes, it has been tried before 349 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: and it is a failure. Some of the major issues 350 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 1: with Zoran mam Donnie and his radical Islamism, plus more 351 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: of his policies doomed to failure. Next on The Dan 352 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: O'Donnell Show Conservative Thought, not just talk. It is the 353 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show. Zorn Mamdani is sort of a totem. 354 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: He is an emblem of what the modern radicalized left is. 355 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: It's all identity politics wrapped in out and out communism 356 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: that he attempts to make palatable by making grandiose promises 357 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: about all of the things that are going to be 358 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: free without ever actually explaining how anything will work. He's 359 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: also an inveterate liar. Take this, for example, responding to 360 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo, the former governor and his primary opponent in 361 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 1: the election, saying, can you imagine if Mom Donni was 362 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,479 Speaker 1: mayor on nine to eleven Sid Rosenberg, who's in New 363 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: York City talk show host, Oh, he'd probably be celebrating. 364 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: And Cuomo didn't immediately condemn Rosenberg's obvious Islamophobia. He wasn't 365 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: talking about all Muslims. He was talking about one very 366 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: anti American Muslim and yes, I will be able to 367 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: prove that well. Zoran was very offended and he said, 368 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: you know what, nine to eleven caused his aunt, who 369 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: was living in New York City to be too scared 370 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: to wear her hijab on the Site's. 371 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 8: Going to use this moment to speak to the Muslims. 372 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: Of New York City. Hm, he got choked up here. 373 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 8: I want to speak to the memory of my aunt 374 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 8: who stopped taking the subway after September eleventh because she 375 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 8: did not feel safe in her hi jab. 376 00:27:53,760 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: Okay, basic fact checking would reveal that Zoran Mamdani has 377 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,479 Speaker 1: exactly one aunt it's his mother's sister. From two thousand 378 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: to two thousand and three, according to her own LinkedIn page, 379 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: she was not in New York City and has never 380 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: apparently lived in New York City, but she was working 381 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 1: in Tanzania. Be pretty pretty impossible for her to make 382 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: that long commute from Tanzania to the New York City 383 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,479 Speaker 1: subway system. And oh, by the way, there is no 384 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: evidence that she has ever worn a huge job. Someone 385 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: who you should know not Zoran Mamdanni's aunt, but rather 386 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: his father, Mahmoud Mamdani, who is a university professor, harbors 387 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: some of the most anti American beliefs that I have 388 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: ever heard. In a recently unearthed rant, he goes on 389 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 1: a truly disgusting screed about how the United States is 390 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: the root of all the world's evil, that Adolf Hitler 391 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: actually learned everything he needed to know about genocide from 392 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: Abraham Lincoln. 393 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 9: America is the genesis of what we call settler colonialism, 394 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 9: and the American model was exported all around the world. 395 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 9: Abraham Lincoln generalized the solution of reservations. They herded American 396 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 9: Indians into separate territories for the Nazis, for the Nazis. 397 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 9: This was the inspiration. Hitler realized two things. One that 398 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 9: genocide was doable. It is possible to do genocide. That's 399 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 9: what Hitler realized. Second thing Hitler realized is that you 400 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 9: don't have to have a common citizenship. You can differentiate 401 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 9: between people. The Nuremberg laws were patterned after American laws. Anyway, 402 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 9: the US put Indians in reservations. The US invented the model. 403 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: I don't think I have heard anything quite so erroneous 404 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: or hateful in the past month. Now, you are, of 405 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: course not guilty of the sins of your father, but 406 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: there's a pretty straight line that you can draw from 407 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: Mahmoud Mamdani's anti americanism to the radical left wing, destructive 408 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: beliefs of his son. We have spent the hour debunking 409 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: Zoran Mamdani's primary promises. You might be asking, well, Dan, 410 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: who cares about New York City? Folks? It is only 411 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: a hop, skip and a jump away from a socialist 412 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: mayor of say Milwaukee, And wouldn't you know it, We're 413 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: the only city who has had not one, not two, 414 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: but three of them. This is what modern democrats believe. 415 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: In fact, this is what your kid is probably going 416 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: to come home from college at Thanksgiving break, spouting that 417 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: rent should be stabilized, that buses should be free, and 418 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: so too should be childcare. 419 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 4: Going to create universal childcare at no cost to parents 420 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 4: so New Yorkers can raise their family in the city 421 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 4: they love. 422 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: All right, Quebec has had a universal childcare program since 423 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven. You know what the cost is for 424 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: about two hundred and seventy thousand children, three billion dollars 425 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: every single year. That's about eleven thousand dollars per child. Now, 426 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: let's do a real quick comparison. Is Quebec a larger 427 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: or smaller city than New York? Much smaller. If you 428 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 1: were to do universal childcare for the entire country, it 429 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: would be about two hundred to four hundred billion dollars 430 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: every single year, about five to ten percent of all 431 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: federal discretionary spending. Not only does it cost a ton 432 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: of money and necessarily there needs to be a diversion 433 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: of resources away from other critical city functions, but demand 434 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: surges for a free product. In Quebec, there was a 435 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: fifty percent increase in demand for universal care. Was there 436 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: a commensurate increase in the supply of daycare providers. No 437 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: supply grew only twenty percent that caused wait lists just 438 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: to get into a daycare center between twelve and eighteen months. 439 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: In heavily populated areas of the city. The kid will 440 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: be going to kindergarten before he's able to get into daycare. 441 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: A study in the US two years ago found forty 442 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: percent of states already face what are known as childcare deserts, 443 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: fewer than one daycare slot per three children. Universal programs 444 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: exacerbate this without a similar massive investment in facilities and staff, 445 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: and guess what, the quality of care for your children 446 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: also necessarily declines. Low reimbursement rates for providers in subsidized systems, 447 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: oftentimes eight to twelve dollars per hour. That's not salary, 448 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: that's the subsidization of those salaries from government, leads to 449 00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: massive turnover and underqualified staff applying for these positions. Because 450 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: there is necessarily going to be a massive demand and 451 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: massive amounts of money spent, there are going to be 452 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: more kids per daycare worker. Crowded daycare centers or four 453 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: K three K classrooms combined with underpaid, underqualified workers is 454 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: a recipe for a disaster coming up, folks, in just 455 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,919 Speaker 1: five minutes. I don't want to overpromise an under deliver here, 456 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: but I dare say today's Unhinged Liberal of the Day, 457 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 1: and it's just a rando woman screaming about stuff.

For my money, 463 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: the scariest film that has ever been released. It might 464 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: have something to do with the fact that I watched 465 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:17,120 Speaker 1: it when I was like ten and scared the holy 466 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,280 Speaker 1: heck out of me. As my brother said, I think 467 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: he stayed up all night praying he watched it as 468 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: a sleepover. The nineties were a wild time, man. I 469 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:31,240 Speaker 1: mean when we say we were basically feeral unsupervised children, 470 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: we meant it. I think I snuck in to see 471 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: pulp fiction when I was about twelve years old the 472 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: Exorcists at like ten, and I'm starting to think there 473 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: might have been some sort of impact on my personality. 474 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 1: Later on, Ladies and gentlemen, it is time now to 475 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 1: name the unhinged liberal of the day, a woman whose 476 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: performance is so strong she just may be our twenty 477 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: twenty five unhinged Liberal of the year.

We have to win more. 563 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:31,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna win. Moore, the federal government shutdown is now 564 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: in its twenty seventh day, with no signs of ending 565 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:41,840 Speaker 1: anytime soon. A reminder that every single Republican in Congress, 566 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: both the United States Senate and House, has voted for 567 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: a clean continuing resolution which adds no new policy and 568 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,760 Speaker 1: simply keeps the government open and funded at current levels. 569 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: Democrats have steadfastly refused to vote for it. They are 570 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: filled bustering the measure, and twelve different attempts at cloture 571 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 1: or ending the Democrat filibuster have fallen short because Democrats 572 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: simply will not cross the political aisle and vote with 573 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 1: a couple of their colleagues, including Pennsylvania's John Fetterman, to 574 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: end the filibuster, and every single Republican, in other words, 575 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: they want to keep the government shut down. House Speaker 576 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: Mike Johnson on this brazen political game. 577 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 13: They've made an evaluation that they have to appease the 578 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 13: Marxist space, that they're so concerned that they'll lose their 579 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 13: jobs if they don't appease the far left in their party. 580 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,399 Speaker 13: And they sat in a back room and they made 581 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,919 Speaker 13: the calculation that they would rather shut the government down 582 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 13: and impose all this pain on the American people because 583 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 13: they believe the Marxists the far left in the base 584 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 13: are more active than hard work in Americans people who 585 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,279 Speaker 13: go vote, and so they made the calculation that it's 586 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 13: worth it to them every day gets better for us. 587 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,280 Speaker 13: Will use the pain as leverage for what to prove 588 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 13: to the far left base that they won't give in, 589 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 13: that they'll fight Trump and fight their Republicans. What are 590 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,839 Speaker 13: they fighting. It's a queen cr It's the same level 591 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,880 Speaker 13: of funding that they have voted for as recently as 592 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 13: earlier this year. They are Biden level policies in spending. 593 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 13: This is not some Republican wish list. We don't have 594 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 13: any of our priorities in this at all. It's the 595 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 13: Democrat's own product. But they have decided to flip the 596 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 13: script this time because they were getting too much heat 597 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 13: from the far left. 598 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 1: And in fact, Minnesota's Governor Tim Walls gave up the 599 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:37,839 Speaker 1: game again when he said We're not going to give 600 00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 1: in and allow a fascist, dictatorial president to run rough 601 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: shot over us. We'll get into that coming up in 602 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 1: a little bit on the Sunday shows. Specifically, Meet the Press. 603 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant absolutely humiliated Kristin Welker, who tried 604 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: to pin the blame on President Trump for not negotiating 605 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 1: with Democrats in the Senate. That'sn't setter straight real quick. 606 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 14: When will President Trump meet with Democrats to try to 607 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 14: bring this shutdown to a close and get federal workers 608 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 14: their paychecks back again, mister Secretary. 609 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,240 Speaker 15: Well, Christy, I'm going to have to reject the premise 610 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 15: of your question. Why did President Trump have to meet 611 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 15: with Democrats? Democrats just need to go into the Senate 612 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,919 Speaker 15: and vote to in the shutdown. 613 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,719 Speaker 14: Trump has said in the passage up to the president, No, no, 614 00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,799 Speaker 14: and no. He said that in the past. He said, 615 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 14: you have to be a leader. The president has to lead. 616 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 14: You have to get people into a room. You have 617 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 14: to get a deal. When's he going to do that? 618 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 15: Well, he is leading, and there's no deal to do 619 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 15: with Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer is trading off his poles. 620 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 15: What's different than when he passed the clean cr and 621 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 15: this ring it's his polls. You know, he's where the 622 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 15: whole country's being held captive to AOC's polls. Well, let's 623 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 15: look at the numbers. It's fifty two to three fifty 624 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 15: two Republicans have voted. I believe it's eleven times to 625 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,840 Speaker 15: reopen the government. Three Democrats have and right here, right now, 626 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 15: I would urge moderate Democratic senators to come across the 627 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 15: aisle reopening the government because I'll tell you we're starting 628 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 15: to eat in the muscle here. This is starting to 629 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 15: affect travel, is starting to affect the economy, and you know, 630 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 15: this is keixotic. I don't know what the purpose is. 631 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 15: I'm not sure they do. 632 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,480 Speaker 1: I don't think they do either. Quite frankly, air traffic 633 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: controllers tomorrow will start working without pay. On Saturday, snap 634 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:49,080 Speaker 1: benefits or food assistance expires for forty two million Americans. 635 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 1: We will get into that coming up in just a 636 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,439 Speaker 1: little bit. That is your daily Trump Day. To look 637 00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,799 Speaker 1: at what's been going on in Washington today. How is 638 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:06,439 Speaker 1: any of this impacting the markets? Not really at all. 639 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 1: To discuss, we bring in Dave Spanno to help you 640 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:15,800 Speaker 1: know the difference between financial advisors. And since this shutdown started, Dave, 641 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,880 Speaker 1: the markets have just shrugged it off as sort of business, 642 00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,400 Speaker 1: albeit dysfunctional business, but business as usual in Washington. 643 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,280 Speaker 16: And it really has and you can see the market 644 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,840 Speaker 16: continues to go up over three hundred and thirty points today. 645 00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 16: But let's stay with Sunday Morning. You know, after Treasury 646 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 16: Secretary Scott percent was on NBC, he went over to 647 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 16: ABC and did the did the show on Sunday Morning 648 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 16: and said that he's actually a soybean farmer. And I 649 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,360 Speaker 16: had to ask, you, can you imagine Treasury Secretary's got 650 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 16: percent on the back of an old Alice Chalmers tractor. 651 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 16: You know what he does? He owns the land, as 652 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,640 Speaker 16: you know, and the farmer farm the land. But yeah, 653 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 16: that's exactly right. And so what we're seeing right now 654 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 16: is the market continues to go on. And one of 655 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 16: those reasons is that we are in the middle of 656 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 16: earning's week and that is really where the report cards 657 00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 16: come out, Dan, And this week alone we're going to 658 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 16: see Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Apple, all of them 659 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 16: have their reports coming out this week, all expected to 660 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,960 Speaker 16: do pretty well. And by the way, those Meg seven 661 00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 16: stocks represent about twenty four percent of the S and 662 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,760 Speaker 16: P five hundred, so very important not only for the math, 663 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 16: but also for the market sentiment as well. 664 00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,399 Speaker 1: Dan, Yeah, it absolutely is. And basically a rate cut 665 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 1: from the Federal Reserve is all but baked in. Right, 666 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 1: we're getting another twenty five basis point or point two 667 00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,359 Speaker 1: five percent cut to the key FED funds. 668 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 16: Right, we really are, and then marketing has really marked 669 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:55,279 Speaker 16: that in already. So the Fed is, you know, operating 670 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,960 Speaker 16: without all of the information that they would like, but 671 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 16: that information is out there. The betting nods are nearly 672 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,439 Speaker 16: one hundred percent that we're going to see that Fed 673 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,800 Speaker 16: rate hike, and then we'll have to see what happens 674 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,120 Speaker 16: as we go to the end of the year towards 675 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 16: December if there is another one. The market likes that news. 676 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,239 Speaker 16: In fact, the tenure Treasury was under four percent, so 677 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:20,280 Speaker 16: that has major ramifications for your listeners. For example, mortgage 678 00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,720 Speaker 16: rates are starting to come back down if the housing 679 00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,040 Speaker 16: market starts to kick in again. Because of all of this, 680 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 16: this is really good news. So here we have earnings 681 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,000 Speaker 16: week doing really well, we have the Federal Reserve likely 682 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 16: to lower rates. We have the Trump she meeting, right, 683 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,640 Speaker 16: and perhaps we're going to get some more clarity on 684 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 16: our trade policy next week oral arguments and for the 685 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 16: Supreme Court start talking about the Trump tariffs. And of 686 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 16: course there's elections in New Jersey, in Virginia, lots for 687 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 16: Dan o'donald to talk about. But more importantly, the market 688 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,280 Speaker 16: really likes this information. 689 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly does. Especially the apparent thawing of trade 690 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,759 Speaker 1: relations between Trump and China and earnings for the Magnificent 691 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 1: Seven just continue to amaze. Keep tabs on all of it, 692 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: and more importantly, understand what that means for your financial future. Folks. 693 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm a smart guy. Okay, I say that with no 694 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,280 Speaker 1: false modesty. But part of being smart is a man's 695 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 1: got to know his limitations. And while I understand politics, 696 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 1: I don't always understand finance, especially when it comes to taxes, 697 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,520 Speaker 1: how stuff is going to That's why I work with 698 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:35,560 Speaker 1: the professionals at Annex Wealth Management to help me maximize 699 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:39,399 Speaker 1: what I am putting aside for my family's future.

Conservative thought, not 713 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,720 Speaker 1: just talk. It is the Dan o'donald Show, a tour 714 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 1: deforce of truth. The truth is that Democrats could stop 715 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 1: this shutdown today. In fact, all it would take is 716 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,319 Speaker 1: five of them to join every single Republican in the 717 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:50,400 Speaker 1: Senate in voting to end the shutdown, ending the Democrat philibuster. 718 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,759 Speaker 1: This is the very first filibuster in American history of 719 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 1: a clean continuing resolution. I think there continues to be 720 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,840 Speaker 1: a whole lot of intentional obfiscation about who is to 721 00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,880 Speaker 1: blame here. I just saw a tweet from Mazie Herono, 722 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:13,759 Speaker 1: the Senator from Hawaii. Right, Maze's from Hawaii, Tammy Duckworth 723 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,319 Speaker 1: is from Illinois. Yes, for some reason, I always get 724 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 1: those two confused. I'm not entirely sure why, but Mazie 725 00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 1: Herono from Hawaii said Republicans control the White House the 726 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 1: House and the Senate. They're responsible for this, and this 727 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:31,480 Speaker 1: is the talking point. And clearly Mazee Herono knows what 728 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,800 Speaker 1: a filibuster is. She's counting on the fact that you don't. 729 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:41,000 Speaker 1: This is how Democrats operate, and just trust that the 730 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:45,080 Speaker 1: national media in particular will amplify their talking points. So 731 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,120 Speaker 1: you heard it with that Kristen Welker Scott Bessant exchange. Well, 732 00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:53,840 Speaker 1: it's Trump's responsibility to talk to the Democrat leaders in 733 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 1: the Senate and negotiate with them best and shut her down, immedia, 734 00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:02,760 Speaker 1: there's nothing to negotiate. Open up the government, stop holding 735 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 1: things like air traffic controllers salaries and snap benefits hostage 736 00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,720 Speaker 1: because you want healthcare for a million and a half 737 00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:17,400 Speaker 1: illegal aliens, and we'll be just fine. Never before in 738 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 1: American history has the government shut down or a party 739 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:26,360 Speaker 1: filibustered a clean continuing resolution in order to get anything 740 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 1: passed in the Senate, with the exception of very specific 741 00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:36,400 Speaker 1: things like for example, budget reconciliation, which only requires a 742 00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:41,040 Speaker 1: simple majority, you need to have sixty votes to invoke 743 00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:46,560 Speaker 1: what's known as cloature to stop a filibuster. Long ago, 744 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 1: we did away in the Senate with the idea that 745 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,200 Speaker 1: you had to actually filibuster. The classic example is mister 746 00:52:54,280 --> 00:53:00,600 Speaker 1: Smith goes to Washington, the noble senator, standing for hours 747 00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:05,280 Speaker 1: until he can speak no longer in collapses. We don't 748 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 1: have that. You simply start a filibuster, you don't need 749 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:16,400 Speaker 1: to continue talking, and the filibuster continues until sixty votes 750 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:23,240 Speaker 1: means cloture. Sixty senators therefore, is a majority that's needed 751 00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,959 Speaker 1: to pass anything, including a continuing resolution. There is never 752 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:32,760 Speaker 1: been by either party a filibuster of a clean continuing resolution. 753 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 1: What that means is a resolution that simply funds government 754 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,640 Speaker 1: at current levels, and in fact, we have been operating 755 00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:43,640 Speaker 1: on continuing resolutions all year long. Democrats voted for one 756 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:47,920 Speaker 1: back in March because it just locked into place Biden 757 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:53,640 Speaker 1: era spending. There are no Republican policy items, there is 758 00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:58,319 Speaker 1: no new Republican spending, there are no Republican cuts. It 759 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:03,360 Speaker 1: is the exact sense funding measure that every Democrat voted 760 00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:08,400 Speaker 1: for six months ago. Now, of course it's completely unpalatable 761 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:15,240 Speaker 1: because why My guess is that Democrats heard all summer 762 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 1: long from their constituents that they weren't fighting hard enough 763 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:25,680 Speaker 1: against Trump, that Trump is a dangerous Nazi fascist, and 764 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 1: he needs to be stopped. And if Democrats vote to 765 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,880 Speaker 1: end the government shut down, if all of a sudden 766 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:37,400 Speaker 1: they appear to cave on this, they'll look even weaker. 767 00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,439 Speaker 1: Tim Wall's not the brightest bulb in the Halloween light 768 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:47,680 Speaker 1: display over the weekend, said, look, we can't even though 769 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:51,439 Speaker 1: snap benefits, food assistants benefits are going to run out 770 00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:57,000 Speaker 1: for millions of Minnesotans, we can't allow this Senate to 771 00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,480 Speaker 1: give more power to an authoritarian like true. I know 772 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,640 Speaker 1: Democrats are ready to go. I know they're ready to 773 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,480 Speaker 1: come back and do this. They're ready to come back 774 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,680 Speaker 1: and protect things that had passed the legislature. 775 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,040 Speaker 12: They are not willing to come back and let an 776 00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,040 Speaker 12: authoritarian president do whatever he wants. 777 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,040 Speaker 1: Sort of gives it all up, doesn't it. When House 778 00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,000 Speaker 1: Speaker Mike Johnson is saying the entire country is behold 779 00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:25,239 Speaker 1: into AOC's polling numbers, he means the fear is that 780 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:29,319 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is going to be primaried by AOC. I 781 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 1: happen to think he will, not that she's going to 782 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,359 Speaker 1: be running for president in twenty twenty eight, and that 783 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,440 Speaker 1: he needs to look like he's fighting and not rolling 784 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:42,240 Speaker 1: over for Donald Trump. I will refer back once again 785 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,839 Speaker 1: to one of the most insane articles I've ever read. 786 00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,680 Speaker 1: It was from Axios about Midsummer, and I must have 787 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,080 Speaker 1: used that thing for weeks on end, because it was 788 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,840 Speaker 1: Democrats going back home for the Fourth of July holiday 789 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 1: for summer break, and they would hold town hall meetings 790 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:02,799 Speaker 1: with their constituents, and these crazies were telling them, you 791 00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:07,000 Speaker 1: need to be willing to get shot while protesting ice 792 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:11,399 Speaker 1: facilities in your district. That's how much you need to fight. 793 00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,640 Speaker 1: You need to be willing to storm an ice facility 794 00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:21,319 Speaker 1: and free all the illegal immigrants, you Democrat congressman. That's 795 00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 1: what they're hearing from their constituents. They need to fight 796 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,920 Speaker 1: against Trump because they have convinced these psychopaths that Trump 797 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,799 Speaker 1: really is a neo hitler and that he really will 798 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:38,239 Speaker 1: do away with all elections. He really will declare himself 799 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:43,360 Speaker 1: all presidente for life. And oh, by the way, that big, 800 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:47,000 Speaker 1: beautiful ballroom is evidence of it, because why would he 801 00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,600 Speaker 1: build a ballroom if he was planning to leave office 802 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty nine. This is truly the unhinged base 803 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:59,320 Speaker 1: that they have to kowtow to. Well, Unfortunately for Democrats, 804 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:06,239 Speaker 1: a big portion of their base receives SNAP food assistance. 805 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 1: Forty two million Americans are currently on EBT or SNAP 806 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:22,800 Speaker 1: food assistance, forty two million of them. No SNAP benefits 807 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 1: will be issued starting November first. Americans who rely on 808 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: the program for groceries get an average of about one 809 00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:37,600 Speaker 1: hundred eighty seven dollars per month to purchase groceries. Now, 810 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:43,440 Speaker 1: SNAP is one hundred percent federally funded. The contingency funds, 811 00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 1: which are about five to six billion dollars, will not 812 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:53,400 Speaker 1: actually cover November's payments of eight point one billion dollars. 813 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 1: Because of that, President Trump has said, no, we are 814 00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 1: not going to use contingency funding for a portion of November, 815 00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:06,240 Speaker 1: because we need to have this in case of an 816 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:10,600 Speaker 1: actual emergency. In case there's some catastrophic failure of the 817 00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:15,360 Speaker 1: system or some emergency or something, we could fund SNAP 818 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 1: payments with the contingency funds we have now for about 819 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:24,160 Speaker 1: three weeks eight point one billion dollars just for November. Now, 820 00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:29,880 Speaker 1: as a result of this, Wisconsin lawmakers have said, no, 821 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 1: we're not going to tap into state funds, which would 822 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:37,440 Speaker 1: amount to about one hundred and fifteen million dollars to 823 00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 1: pay for SNAP benefits for Wisconsin nights. Wisconsin Senate President 824 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:47,720 Speaker 1: Mary Felskowski, Republican, on upfront with Matt Smith on Sunday, Smith, ast, 825 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 1: are you going to propose that we use state dollars 826 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,720 Speaker 1: to fund SNAP if the federal government is still shut 827 00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:55,680 Speaker 1: down by saturd One. 828 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,720 Speaker 6: Hundred fourteen million is a lot of money, and my 829 00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 6: heart goes out to people. But this is a federal issue, 830 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,560 Speaker 6: and I don't see the state having the resources to 831 00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:09,720 Speaker 6: do that. I just wish that the Democrats would sign 832 00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,200 Speaker 6: this continuing resolution and vote for it and let's move on. 833 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 6: They shouldn't be playing games like this. You don't hold 834 00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 6: people hostage over these kind of issues. So no, I 835 00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:21,440 Speaker 6: don't see a stepping in. 836 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:27,080 Speaker 1: And that's the thing. Democrats could get SNAP fully funded 837 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,800 Speaker 1: this evening all they need to do. Heck, you don't 838 00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:34,920 Speaker 1: even need Chuck Schumer to do it. Five Democrats in 839 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,680 Speaker 1: the US Senate go to the Senate Majority Leader John 840 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 1: Thune and say we're going to vote for you will 841 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:45,520 Speaker 1: open the government. They get some sort of concession on 842 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 1: negotiations on Obama Care subsidies, or maybe we talk about 843 00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:57,919 Speaker 1: expanding healthcare whatever it is. But that comes later. There 844 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:01,880 Speaker 1: is no room for negotiating on a bill where there 845 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:06,280 Speaker 1: is no policy to negotiate. What would Republicans give up 846 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:11,400 Speaker 1: here in exchange for giving Democrats every single thing they want. 847 01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:16,360 Speaker 1: This is why there's this desperate push to blame Republicans, 848 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 1: and the narrative is, well, Republicans control everything in Washington, 849 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,480 Speaker 1: and why the very people who are going to be 850 01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:27,440 Speaker 1: out of snap benefits come Saturday are being kept in 851 01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:31,520 Speaker 1: the dark about what's really going on. Let's talk a 852 01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:37,280 Speaker 1: little bit deeper about food assistance benefits and how Democrat 853 01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:42,320 Speaker 1: policies keep people dependent on them. You're not going to 854 01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 1: want to miss this, and it is coming up next 855 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,480 Speaker 1: here on the Dan O'Donnell Show. Democrats know exactly what 856 01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:53,240 Speaker 1: they're doing on the shutdown. They're blaming Republicans, pretending that 857 01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,240 Speaker 1: because Republicans have control of the White House, House and 858 01:00:56,520 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 1: Senate that that negates the filibuster. Really, what this is about, folks, 859 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:07,200 Speaker 1: is Democrats want Republicans to do away with the filibuster. 860 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:11,240 Speaker 1: Do you remember years ago when Harry Reid invoked what 861 01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,880 Speaker 1: was known as the nuclear option to get rid of 862 01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:20,960 Speaker 1: the filibuster on certain judicial nominees because he claimed that 863 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:26,480 Speaker 1: Republicans were just being intransigent and inflexible on President Obama's nominees, 864 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:30,040 Speaker 1: and he just ended the filibuster with a simple fifty 865 01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:36,080 Speaker 1: one vote majority. Cocaine Mitch, Mitch McConnell, then the leader 866 01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:38,600 Speaker 1: of Republicans in the Senate, got up on the floor 867 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 1: and said, our friends on the Democratic side may well 868 01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,600 Speaker 1: live to regret this, and that day may come a 869 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:51,120 Speaker 1: lot sooner than they think. It sure did because Republicans 870 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,680 Speaker 1: simply using the Harry Reid president. A few years later, 871 01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:59,600 Speaker 1: when President Trump was trying to fill the seat vacated 872 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:05,680 Speaker 1: by the late antonin Scalia, you might remember that the 873 01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:09,920 Speaker 1: Republicans in the Senate actually blocked President Obama from filling 874 01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 1: that seat. He had nominated Merrick Garland, no less a 875 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 1: figure than Vice President Joe Biden earlier in his career 876 01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:22,160 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety two, actually said, if there is a 877 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 1: Supreme Court vacancy this year, an election year, it should 878 01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 1: not be filled by then President George H. W. Bush. Instead, 879 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:35,400 Speaker 1: the American people should decide. So Cocaine Mitch, being the 880 01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:39,520 Speaker 1: cold blooded operator that he was, it truly does not 881 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,720 Speaker 1: get enough credit for it. Said Okay, Well, We're going 882 01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:47,080 Speaker 1: to take the vice president's president very seriously, and we're 883 01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,840 Speaker 1: going to let the American people decide. Lo and behold. 884 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:57,240 Speaker 1: Trump won the twenty sixteen presidential election. In early twenty seventeen, 885 01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:02,760 Speaker 1: for the first time in American history, Democrats filibustered a 886 01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:08,520 Speaker 1: Supreme Court nomination that of the decidedly non controversial Neil Gorsich. 887 01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 1: Gorsich has been a reliable conservative vote, but there's nothing 888 01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:19,320 Speaker 1: out of the ordinary in terms of his judicial philosophy 889 01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:23,440 Speaker 1: or past opinions. Democrats simply didn't want President Trump to 890 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:28,200 Speaker 1: be able to fill that seat. Using the Harry Reid precedent, Cocaine, 891 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:35,800 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell did away with all judicial filibusters, including the 892 01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:41,040 Speaker 1: Supreme Court. So now to nominate a cabinet secretary or 893 01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,320 Speaker 1: a federal judge, and to get it approved by the Senate, 894 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,880 Speaker 1: all you need is fifty votes plus one or a 895 01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 1: simple majority. Thank you very much, Harry Reid. Now Democrats 896 01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:57,760 Speaker 1: under Chuck Schumer, they learned their lessons from Harry Reid's mistake. 897 01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:02,200 Speaker 1: They want Republicans to evoke the nuclear option and do 898 01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:07,919 Speaker 1: away with the filibuster altogether, knowing full well that eventually, 899 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,040 Speaker 1: I pray to god it doesn't happen, but eventually, we 900 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:15,080 Speaker 1: are almost certain to have another Democrat president when that 901 01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:20,360 Speaker 1: day comes. And Democrats also control the majority in the 902 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:24,000 Speaker 1: House and Senate, they can do whatever they want and 903 01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:28,200 Speaker 1: Republicans in the minority would have absolutely no recourse. They 904 01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to stop it. That's the dynamic at 905 01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:37,240 Speaker 1: play here. It is a game of brinksmanship that Democrats 906 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:41,520 Speaker 1: are playing, and they believe that they have leverage, that 907 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,720 Speaker 1: every day that goes by is better for them. That's 908 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,600 Speaker 1: not me talking. That is a direct quote from Chuck Schumer. 909 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:51,160 Speaker 1: The idea is that Democrats believe they have leverage. That's 910 01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:55,560 Speaker 1: not me talking. That is the number two Democrat in 911 01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:58,920 Speaker 1: the United States House of Representatives, Catherine Clark. 912 01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:03,640 Speaker 17: I mean, shutdowns are terrible, and of course there will be, 913 01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,360 Speaker 17: you know, families that are going to suffer. We take 914 01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:11,920 Speaker 17: that responsibility very seriously. But it is one of the 915 01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,440 Speaker 17: few leverage times we have. 916 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:20,000 Speaker 1: One of the few leverage times we have. Yeah, it's terrible. 917 01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:27,880 Speaker 1: Forty one point seven million Americans, including something like doing 918 01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:32,840 Speaker 1: quick math in my head, seventeen million children are going 919 01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:37,320 Speaker 1: to lose snap benefits on Saturday. That's terrible. That's horrible. 920 01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,160 Speaker 1: Air traffic controllers are going to go without their salary. 921 01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,800 Speaker 1: They're going to go without a paycheck tomorrow. That's terrible. 922 01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:49,920 Speaker 1: But this gives us leverage. Forty one point seven million 923 01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:54,720 Speaker 1: Americans currently get food assistance. That is twelve point three 924 01:05:54,960 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 1: five percent of the entire United States population. That seems 925 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:06,120 Speaker 1: insanely high to me. In twenty twenty four, roughly ten 926 01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:10,360 Speaker 1: point six percent of the American populace lived below the 927 01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:14,800 Speaker 1: poverty line. There are thirty five point nine million Americans 928 01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,880 Speaker 1: who are living in poverty, and the poverty line has 929 01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:23,760 Speaker 1: gone up considerably in recent years. But there are currently 930 01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:29,320 Speaker 1: forty one point seven million people on SNAP. Why is 931 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:33,840 Speaker 1: this that there's so many people who are living above 932 01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,800 Speaker 1: the poverty line who are depending on the federal government 933 01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:45,120 Speaker 1: for food assistance. Well, the reality is Democrat policies actually 934 01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 1: drive people to need SNAP benefits, and Democrats constantly want 935 01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:56,240 Speaker 1: to expand social safety net programs, in my humble opinion, 936 01:06:56,360 --> 01:07:00,880 Speaker 1: to get these people dependent on government. And when there 937 01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:05,040 Speaker 1: are these high leverage moments, as Catherine Clark put it, 938 01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:09,280 Speaker 1: that they can be used as pawns to try to 939 01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:17,360 Speaker 1: get Republicans to bend to their will. USDA data shows 940 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:23,680 Speaker 1: that eligibility for SNAP benefits increased by about one point 941 01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,840 Speaker 1: five million people from two thousand and eight to twenty twenty. 942 01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:33,160 Speaker 1: Did one point five million people suddenly fall below the 943 01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:40,040 Speaker 1: poverty line? No, there have been outreach programs designed to 944 01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:44,800 Speaker 1: get more people in heavily liberal population bases like New 945 01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:50,000 Speaker 1: York on food stamps. In fact, over the past five years, 946 01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:53,080 Speaker 1: New York has actually had a campaign, Hey do you 947 01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,520 Speaker 1: know you might be eligible for food stamps? Do you 948 01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:58,920 Speaker 1: know you could get on food stamps? That increased enrollment 949 01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,720 Speaker 1: by ten per cent, or about two hundred thousand people. 950 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:06,200 Speaker 1: The poverty rate in New York City and in this 951 01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:11,120 Speaker 1: country in that time period has been almost exactly the same. 952 01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:17,280 Speaker 1: Not only that, when you have liberal policies like a 953 01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:22,479 Speaker 1: rise in the minimum wage, you also paradoxically get more 954 01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:26,920 Speaker 1: people on SNAP benefits Because low wage jobs have a 955 01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:33,320 Speaker 1: tendency to disappear, income is boosted, but not enough to 956 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:39,920 Speaker 1: get out of eligibility for SNAP. Partial wage gains keep 957 01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:45,280 Speaker 1: workers on social programs. An Urban Institute study in twenty 958 01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:49,919 Speaker 1: twenty three found a one dollar increase in the minimum 959 01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:55,920 Speaker 1: wage raised SNAP participation by two to three percent. In 960 01:08:56,040 --> 01:09:01,200 Speaker 1: low wage areas, workers stayed just under eligibility cutoffs, not 961 01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:06,680 Speaker 1: only that they still were not making enough to subsist. 962 01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:12,840 Speaker 1: Why because minimum wage jobs would still pay the exact 963 01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,400 Speaker 1: minimum wage, but jobs that would pay more than the 964 01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 1: minimum wage get replaced by automation or consolidation. States with 965 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 1: longer unemployment benefits during the COVID period saw SNAP caseloads 966 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 1: rise four percent more than others. Moreover, Democrat run states 967 01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 1: typically focus far less on job training programs, which would 968 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:48,200 Speaker 1: get people out of public assistance benefits like SNAP and 969 01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:55,439 Speaker 1: onto self sufficiency. In twenty twenty four, California has a 970 01:09:55,560 --> 01:10:01,720 Speaker 1: SNAP participation rate of fifteen percent Texas, which is very 971 01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:08,400 Speaker 1: comparable in population just ten percent. Why, According to the 972 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:15,320 Speaker 1: Brookings Institute, there was massive investment in workforce training in 973 01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:20,479 Speaker 1: Texas that, as a result, led to lower SNAP usage. 974 01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:25,080 Speaker 1: The conclusion of that study said, under investment in workforce 975 01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:31,320 Speaker 1: training is linked to persistent SNAP use. Forty percent of 976 01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:35,639 Speaker 1: recipients of SNAP benefits of food stamps work in low 977 01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:40,240 Speaker 1: skilled jobs if they're not getting any training to get 978 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:44,240 Speaker 1: higher skilled jobs, even if they're making more. Because the 979 01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,200 Speaker 1: state says well you need to pay these people fifteen 980 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:51,800 Speaker 1: dollars an hour. It's not enough to be fully self sufficient. 981 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:58,519 Speaker 1: The market determines wage. If wages are set artificially, jobs 982 01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:05,240 Speaker 1: disappear as employe opportunities dry up. Not only that, ironically, 983 01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:10,120 Speaker 1: enough rent control, the likes of which that Zoran Mamdani 984 01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,560 Speaker 1: is currently proposing in New York City we discussed this 985 01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:19,720 Speaker 1: in the first hour, actually leads to more snap usage. 986 01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:24,400 Speaker 1: Low income families are no longer as able to get 987 01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:28,800 Speaker 1: into affordable housing as rent control simply keeps people in 988 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:33,240 Speaker 1: those apartments for decades and decades and decades. They're not 989 01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:36,680 Speaker 1: going to leave. They're not going to seek better housing 990 01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,920 Speaker 1: because they simply aren't going to be able to afford it. 991 01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:44,639 Speaker 1: Because the non subsidized housing goes up astronomically to make 992 01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:48,479 Speaker 1: up for the lost rent in rent control apartments. This 993 01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:52,559 Speaker 1: squeezes out people who are looking for housing but don't 994 01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:56,320 Speaker 1: have it yet. This means that families need to spend 995 01:11:56,439 --> 01:12:00,200 Speaker 1: even more on rent. Do you realize that in New 996 01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,519 Speaker 1: York City, your average family, even though there is a 997 01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:07,639 Speaker 1: whole lot of rent controlled apartments right now, average family 998 01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:11,479 Speaker 1: spends half of their income in New York City on housing. 999 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:15,559 Speaker 1: Across the country, that number is thirty percent. This leaves 1000 01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:21,000 Speaker 1: less money for food and obviously leads to more reliance 1001 01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:28,320 Speaker 1: on food benefits. In fact, just this year, San Francisco's 1002 01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:33,719 Speaker 1: SNAP enrollment has risen eight percent amid a twenty percent 1003 01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:39,879 Speaker 1: spike in rent Despite a strong economy, Liberal states, according 1004 01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:43,559 Speaker 1: to a twenty twenty three study, have five to seven 1005 01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:48,920 Speaker 1: percent higher SNAP participation than low cost conservative states, even 1006 01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:52,879 Speaker 1: if those states have similar poverty levels. In other words, 1007 01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:58,360 Speaker 1: Democrat policies at the state and city level well meaning 1008 01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:02,160 Speaker 1: though they may be, don't actually get people out of poverty, 1009 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,439 Speaker 1: and in fact force them to spend more of their 1010 01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:10,439 Speaker 1: money on say housing, force low skill, lower paying but 1011 01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:14,280 Speaker 1: more easily attainable jobs that they would be able to 1012 01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:17,880 Speaker 1: get out of areas where they could perform those jobs, 1013 01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:22,640 Speaker 1: meaning that it keeps them in a cycle of dependency. 1014 01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:26,200 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Dan O'Donnell Show. We will be 1015 01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:29,920 Speaker 1: back with the Unsung Hero of the Day. Coming up 1016 01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:36,679 Speaker 1: next Steve Aoki's remix of the Halloween classic Thriller by 1017 01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:41,439 Speaker 1: Michael Jackson. I thought I saw. I think it was 1018 01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:46,400 Speaker 1: either Rolling Stone or Billboard had Thriller as something like 1019 01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:52,880 Speaker 1: the twelfth Best Halloween song, which is almost laughable, obviously 1020 01:13:53,400 --> 01:13:58,840 Speaker 1: greatest Halloween song ever, probably the best choreography. It is 1021 01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:04,000 Speaker 1: impossible to overstate the impact that the Thriller music video 1022 01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:11,559 Speaker 1: had on American culture. Basically every pop star can trace 1023 01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:14,519 Speaker 1: his or her roots to Michael Jackson in some way 1024 01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:18,479 Speaker 1: and the Thriller choreographed dance with all the zombies. That 1025 01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:20,640 Speaker 1: is a big reason why all right time out to 1026 01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:32,960 Speaker 1: name the unsung hero of the day. Today's unsung Heroine 1027 01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:37,679 Speaker 1: of the day is Natalie Graybo, who this month became 1028 01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:42,200 Speaker 1: the oldest woman to finish the Iron Man World Championship. 1029 01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:48,840 Speaker 1: Guess how old she is? Eighty years young. The grandmother 1030 01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:52,479 Speaker 1: from Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, made history as the oldest 1031 01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:57,280 Speaker 1: woman to ever compete in the notoriously grueling event in Hawaii. 1032 01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:01,919 Speaker 1: You're ready for this. She swam two point four miles. 1033 01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,679 Speaker 1: She only learned how to swim when she was nearly sixty. 1034 01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:09,879 Speaker 1: She cycled one hundred and twelve miles and then finished 1035 01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:15,000 Speaker 1: it off with a full twenty six point two mile 1036 01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:21,040 Speaker 1: marathon that is stunning. About sixty younger competitors dropped out 1037 01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:25,360 Speaker 1: before the finish line. Natalie didn't. She is the oldest 1038 01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:32,920 Speaker 1: woman to compete and finish the iron Man Triathlon Championship, 1039 01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:36,920 Speaker 1: and she is our unsung hero of the day. That's 1040 01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:40,360 Speaker 1: absolutely amazing. I'm not sure right now I'd be able 1041 01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:43,400 Speaker 1: to run two miles, let alone do all that. You're 1042 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:51,520 Speaker 1: listening to the Dan o'donald show. Back after the news, 1043 01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,559 Speaker 1: I was just taking a quick walk outside. I had 1044 01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,200 Speaker 1: to give my wife a phone call talking about what 1045 01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:01,320 Speaker 1: else kids schedules, and how we're gonna get this one 1046 01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,560 Speaker 1: to this practice and this one to this violin recital 1047 01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:07,720 Speaker 1: and all of that. And I just love the way 1048 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:11,599 Speaker 1: the sun hangs low in the sky, even though yes, 1049 01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:15,720 Speaker 1: it is getting darker way earlier, and coming up this Saturday, 1050 01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:20,840 Speaker 1: we fall behind as daylight Saving Time ends, which basically 1051 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:24,919 Speaker 1: means it's gonna start getting dark at about five PM. 1052 01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:30,760 Speaker 1: I so love fall, and it reminded me that, even 1053 01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,840 Speaker 1: though it's not yet Halloween, Christmas will be upon us 1054 01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,240 Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. Do you know how I know 1055 01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:42,120 Speaker 1: so because yesterday afternoon I walked into my bedroom and 1056 01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:46,000 Speaker 1: my daughter was all curled up on our bed watching 1057 01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:50,120 Speaker 1: Home alone, and she looked at me and I kind 1058 01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:52,040 Speaker 1: of say, oh, home alone. She said, I just wish 1059 01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:55,400 Speaker 1: it was Christmas time right now. She started the day 1060 01:16:55,439 --> 01:17:00,120 Speaker 1: watching hocus Pocus, which is by far her favorite movie. Know, 1061 01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:05,080 Speaker 1: this girl just gets into the holiday spirit. We are 1062 01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:09,400 Speaker 1: once again, and for those who are sort of newer 1063 01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:12,040 Speaker 1: to the program, we are going to be doing the 1064 01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:17,360 Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell show Family Christmas Special again. And this is 1065 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:22,200 Speaker 1: programming that airs usually right around Christmas time. We usually 1066 01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:27,160 Speaker 1: premiere it the day before Christmas Eve in the regular show, 1067 01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,640 Speaker 1: and we'll play it throughout the day on WIS and 1068 01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:34,519 Speaker 1: on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. But it's starring the 1069 01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:38,919 Speaker 1: kids and grandkids of our listening audience singing Christmas carols, 1070 01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:44,400 Speaker 1: performing Christmas songs on their piano, their violin, their trumpets, 1071 01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:49,200 Speaker 1: whatever instruments we can find. We have had bagpipes. We 1072 01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:51,960 Speaker 1: had one little girl do the bagpipes. I forget the 1073 01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:54,000 Speaker 1: song she played a couple of years ago, but it 1074 01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:57,639 Speaker 1: was fantastic. We have had I believe, the French horn. 1075 01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:03,400 Speaker 1: We have had school choirs and church orchestras and that 1076 01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:07,160 Speaker 1: sort of thing. It's just it's a wonderful celebration of 1077 01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:11,040 Speaker 1: the incredible talent that our young people have. I was 1078 01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:16,479 Speaker 1: talking with my wife over the weekend just about the 1079 01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:20,160 Speaker 1: culture of youth sports in America, and we're part of that. 1080 01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:23,240 Speaker 1: I mean, the kids are very involved in soccer and 1081 01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:26,200 Speaker 1: other sports sort of more at the rec level. They 1082 01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:28,799 Speaker 1: the boys at least play there on the high school 1083 01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:30,880 Speaker 1: golf team and that sort of stuff. And you know, 1084 01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:33,080 Speaker 1: we did the baseball and the basketball and all that 1085 01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:36,160 Speaker 1: when they were younger, before they decided to focus more 1086 01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:40,280 Speaker 1: on soccer. But it's just we were talking extensively about 1087 01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:44,920 Speaker 1: how youth sports is just crowded out performing arts. It's 1088 01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:48,960 Speaker 1: it's sort of crowded out, you know, National Honors Society, 1089 01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:52,600 Speaker 1: that stuff is still there, but it just seems like 1090 01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:58,080 Speaker 1: it's it's taken a big back seat, much more so 1091 01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:00,720 Speaker 1: than you know, when I was growing up and dinosaurs 1092 01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:04,639 Speaker 1: were roaming the earth, where it was like you had 1093 01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:08,559 Speaker 1: the local little league and that was it. There was 1094 01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:12,000 Speaker 1: no such thing as travel baseball that you play all 1095 01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:16,559 Speaker 1: year round. But what happened was adults realized that they 1096 01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:19,360 Speaker 1: could make a whole lot of money running clubs. And 1097 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:23,479 Speaker 1: this is in all sports, soccer, baseball, basketball, AAU has 1098 01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:27,040 Speaker 1: been a thing forever, and parents believe if they don't 1099 01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:29,680 Speaker 1: get these kids on the travel teams get the very 1100 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:33,200 Speaker 1: best coaching and of course pay the very most money 1101 01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:35,880 Speaker 1: that they're going to fall behind. But that leaves so 1102 01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:40,519 Speaker 1: much less time for some of the most important stuff. 1103 01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:43,439 Speaker 1: And that's not necessarily you know, I'm not saying an 1104 01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:48,040 Speaker 1: organized you know, school orchestra or music necessarily, or the 1105 01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:54,200 Speaker 1: school play, but anything like a robotics team or something 1106 01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:57,799 Speaker 1: like that. And do you remember, way back at about 1107 01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:02,439 Speaker 1: last Christmas time, Vivek Ramaswami came out and said, and 1108 01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:05,519 Speaker 1: this got him basically drummed out of the MAGA movement. 1109 01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:12,680 Speaker 1: He said, the difference between American culture and say American, 1110 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:17,360 Speaker 1: Indian American or Chinese American culture is that the value 1111 01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:22,040 Speaker 1: placed on American high school students, say, is on the 1112 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:26,280 Speaker 1: homecoming king or the head cheerleader, the football quarterback, where 1113 01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:29,920 Speaker 1: in Chinese American and Indian American families it's placed on 1114 01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:34,000 Speaker 1: the star stellar student. There's a lot of truth to that. Now, 1115 01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,760 Speaker 1: of course, it came out like, well, We're just going 1116 01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:40,120 Speaker 1: to replace all of you stupid Americans with h one 1117 01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:43,880 Speaker 1: V VISA immigrants to do all the skilled labor jobs 1118 01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,080 Speaker 1: because you people are too stupid, and it along with 1119 01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:51,680 Speaker 1: his deep, deep personal divide with Elon Musk led to 1120 01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,960 Speaker 1: Avek just being nowhere near have you noticed you have 1121 01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:59,439 Speaker 1: not heard a whole lot from the vek Ramaswami. I've 1122 01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:01,680 Speaker 1: made my fear about the man very clear. I'm not 1123 01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:03,519 Speaker 1: a big fan of him. I think he was a 1124 01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:07,439 Speaker 1: snake oil salesman from the very beginning who engaged in 1125 01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:10,800 Speaker 1: what amounted to a pump and dump scheme. And I 1126 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:13,160 Speaker 1: think he's a smooth talker who doesn't have a whole 1127 01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:15,759 Speaker 1: lot of substance. He's now running for governor of Ohio. 1128 01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,120 Speaker 1: But you'll notice he has no tie to the Trump 1129 01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:22,679 Speaker 1: administration whatsoever. You can actually tie it to that comment. 1130 01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:28,840 Speaker 1: All right, that was just a little impromptu riff. I 1131 01:21:28,960 --> 01:21:32,960 Speaker 1: suppose before we formally start the five o'clock hour with 1132 01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,880 Speaker 1: the Fall Fortune Cash Contest nationwide. Keyword is bills b 1133 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:39,320 Speaker 1: I l LS bills. You've got until five fifty five 1134 01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:42,360 Speaker 1: to go to our website, enter the keyword bills and 1135 01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:44,840 Speaker 1: you will be entered four a chance to win one 1136 01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:49,360 Speaker 1: thousand dollars instantly. It is the Fall Fortune Cash Contest. 1137 01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:53,439 Speaker 1: We play three, four and five every single afternoon here 1138 01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:56,439 Speaker 1: on the Dan o'donald's show. Well. The left spent an 1139 01:21:56,600 --> 01:22:00,760 Speaker 1: entire week freaking out that Donald Trump was a fascist 1140 01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:06,160 Speaker 1: dictator because he is building a ballroom and tearing down 1141 01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:12,599 Speaker 1: the deeply historic East wing of the White House, which 1142 01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:19,040 Speaker 1: was built by FDR and was run down, dilapidated, and 1143 01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:23,760 Speaker 1: housed the First Lady's offices and pretty much not a 1144 01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:27,360 Speaker 1: whole lot else. Rather, obviously the White House needed a 1145 01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:33,439 Speaker 1: bigger ballroom. We cannot host state dinners in tents and 1146 01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:37,519 Speaker 1: have world leaders urinating in porta potties. That is, honest 1147 01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:40,679 Speaker 1: to goodness, what goes on right now at giant state 1148 01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:44,519 Speaker 1: dinners They bring out porta potties on the White House 1149 01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:49,479 Speaker 1: lawn for dignitaries to use. Does that seem like it's 1150 01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:54,880 Speaker 1: befitting the wealthiest country on Earth. Trump, along with the 1151 01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:58,599 Speaker 1: number of private donors, is footing the entire three hundred 1152 01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:03,320 Speaker 1: million dollar cost this ballroom as a gift to future 1153 01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:07,000 Speaker 1: presidents and as a gift to the United States to 1154 01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:10,559 Speaker 1: show off its its power and majesty with a beautiful 1155 01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:14,000 Speaker 1: ballroom for foreign dignitaries, which actually does Nobody has really 1156 01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:18,480 Speaker 1: talked about this. This actually does serve a very important 1157 01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:22,839 Speaker 1: state craft purpose. You put on a much better event 1158 01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:27,320 Speaker 1: when you're hosting, say, the King of England, and your 1159 01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:31,640 Speaker 1: ties two said global leader, are that much stronger. But 1160 01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:35,439 Speaker 1: last week we had a full left wing freakout about 1161 01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:39,640 Speaker 1: the Trump ballroom because this was evidence that Trump was 1162 01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:42,719 Speaker 1: not going to leave when his term expired in twenty 1163 01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:45,200 Speaker 1: twenty nine. In fact, he was going to find some 1164 01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:49,799 Speaker 1: way to be able to stay in office now. Steve Bannon, 1165 01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:53,920 Speaker 1: who also has no tie to the Trump two point 1166 01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:58,799 Speaker 1: zero term, apparently floated the idea that Trump could actually 1167 01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,880 Speaker 1: get back to the White House if he ran as 1168 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:06,760 Speaker 1: vice president, if say jd Vance ran as a presidential 1169 01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:10,920 Speaker 1: candidate and he picked Donald J. Trump to serve as 1170 01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:15,320 Speaker 1: his running mate. On his way back from a trip 1171 01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:18,680 Speaker 1: to Asia over the weekend where he met with the 1172 01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:25,160 Speaker 1: leader of Myanmar, Trump actually shut down the idea when 1173 01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:29,160 Speaker 1: he was asked about it. Only on how you might 1174 01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:30,599 Speaker 1: try to serve a third term. 1175 01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:32,679 Speaker 4: I said, you could write us the vice president. 1176 01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:34,040 Speaker 18: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. 1177 01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:38,439 Speaker 1: The White Houses for the West Council New Rope legal provision. 1178 01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:40,600 Speaker 18: You'd be allowed to do that, but I wouldn't. I 1179 01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:43,360 Speaker 18: would do I think it's it's too cute. Yeah, I 1180 01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:45,720 Speaker 18: wouldn't do that up because it's too cute. I think 1181 01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:48,600 Speaker 18: that people wouldn't like that it's too cute. It's not 1182 01:24:49,000 --> 01:24:49,760 Speaker 18: they wouldn't be right. 1183 01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:55,559 Speaker 1: So there you have the president shooting that down very 1184 01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:57,519 Speaker 1: difficulty here because it was a board Air Force one. 1185 01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:01,920 Speaker 1: He said no, I yes, I would be constitutionally allowed 1186 01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:06,000 Speaker 1: to serve as vice president. What would happen if, let's 1187 01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:10,240 Speaker 1: say this happened constitutionally, because the president could not serve 1188 01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:14,560 Speaker 1: more than two terms, If say President Vance were to 1189 01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:18,400 Speaker 1: be killed, vice President Trump would be passed over in 1190 01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:21,439 Speaker 1: the order of succession, and the President would be the 1191 01:25:21,840 --> 01:25:25,559 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House. That's what would happen. That would 1192 01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:29,000 Speaker 1: be the constitutional mechanism. I don't know why this is 1193 01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:33,080 Speaker 1: so difficult, but President Trump specifically said no, I wouldn't 1194 01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:34,439 Speaker 1: want to do that. That would be too cute. I 1195 01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,479 Speaker 1: don't think the American people would like that. It would 1196 01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:38,600 Speaker 1: be too cute. I don't want to do that. This, 1197 01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:43,479 Speaker 1: of course, was evidence that Trump is actually going to 1198 01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:49,600 Speaker 1: do that, and according to CNN and its presidential historian 1199 01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:56,160 Speaker 1: Alexis co that this is actually a threat. Every time 1200 01:25:56,280 --> 01:26:00,800 Speaker 1: Trump teases the possibility of him staying in washing after 1201 01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:05,160 Speaker 1: his term ends that this is actually a grave threat 1202 01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:06,439 Speaker 1: to the old republic. 1203 01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:09,200 Speaker 19: We have a president and then that is supposed to 1204 01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:13,000 Speaker 19: be the leader, that is the democratically elected leader of 1205 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:16,320 Speaker 19: what is now the longest running republic in the history 1206 01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:19,720 Speaker 19: of the world. And perhaps you know, the providence is 1207 01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:23,439 Speaker 19: that at two fifty it's no longer. But the president 1208 01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:27,880 Speaker 19: should not. You know, the constitution is really clear. You 1209 01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:30,000 Speaker 19: are elected, you can serve a certain amount of time 1210 01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,680 Speaker 19: and then no longer. And I think that there are 1211 01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:37,400 Speaker 19: you know, as Bannon threatened, I would say, like, we 1212 01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:39,599 Speaker 19: do have to take this quite seriously. We should view 1213 01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:42,520 Speaker 19: it as a threat. There are patterns that are established 1214 01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:44,720 Speaker 19: and we should we should look at them. I think 1215 01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:47,599 Speaker 19: that when he threatens that there are workarounds, there's all 1216 01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:51,439 Speaker 19: sorts of nightmare scenarios that we can imagine. But what 1217 01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:54,360 Speaker 19: we do have to decide here as Americans, no matter 1218 01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:57,439 Speaker 19: what party we belong to, is what kind of country 1219 01:26:57,520 --> 01:26:58,040 Speaker 19: do we have. 1220 01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:04,480 Speaker 1: It never ceases to amaze me the level of Trump derangement. 1221 01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:12,280 Speaker 1: Trump actually ruled out that he would be trying to 1222 01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:16,320 Speaker 1: do a workaround to stay in office. Yet we still 1223 01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:18,160 Speaker 1: have to treat this as a threat. This is a 1224 01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:21,719 Speaker 1: grave threat. We have to decide as Americans what type 1225 01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:26,439 Speaker 1: of country we want. Was it Ben Franklin who famously said, 1226 01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,400 Speaker 1: what form of government do we have? Mister Franklin, a 1227 01:27:29,439 --> 01:27:33,640 Speaker 1: republic if you can keep it. Democrats have utterly convinced 1228 01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:41,880 Speaker 1: themselves that every constitutional and legal mechanism for limiting the 1229 01:27:42,040 --> 01:27:44,680 Speaker 1: power of the executive branch is simply going to go 1230 01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:51,240 Speaker 1: haywire somehow. And lest we forget, Donald Trump actually did 1231 01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:57,519 Speaker 1: leave office before it happened on January twentieth, twenty twenty one. 1232 01:27:57,840 --> 01:28:01,439 Speaker 1: Do you know what happened? At exactly twelve noon on 1233 01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:05,640 Speaker 1: January twentieth, twenty twenty one, Joseph Biden was sworn in 1234 01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:08,639 Speaker 1: as President. Donald Trump was already on a plane down 1235 01:28:08,720 --> 01:28:12,799 Speaker 1: to mar A Lago in Florida. That's that's what happened. 1236 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:17,080 Speaker 1: There was a peaceful transition of power. Now Democrats have 1237 01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:22,519 Speaker 1: diluted themselves into believing that January sixth was somehow the 1238 01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:26,400 Speaker 1: darkest day in American history. It was a riot at 1239 01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:32,679 Speaker 1: the Capitol, following three straight months of Democrat riots, including 1240 01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:36,000 Speaker 1: one at the White House where their thugs back in 1241 01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:40,920 Speaker 1: June of twenty twenty tried to tear down the security fence, 1242 01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:45,920 Speaker 1: forcing the Secret Service to evacuate then President Trump into 1243 01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,080 Speaker 1: the basement of the White House because there was a 1244 01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:51,840 Speaker 1: genuine fear that the left wing psychopaths were going to 1245 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:54,040 Speaker 1: be able to get access to the White House. Do 1246 01:28:54,160 --> 01:28:56,080 Speaker 1: you know what the left wing media said about that. 1247 01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:59,320 Speaker 1: They made fun of Trump for being a sissy because 1248 01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:03,439 Speaker 1: the Secrets Service evacuated him because the left wing goon 1249 01:29:03,640 --> 01:29:08,400 Speaker 1: squad was trying to take over the White House. We 1250 01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:12,200 Speaker 1: forget about that one in our hysterical hand ringing over 1251 01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:15,400 Speaker 1: January sixth, two weeks later. There was a peaceful transition 1252 01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:17,560 Speaker 1: of power, just as there's been a peaceful transition of 1253 01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:21,920 Speaker 1: power in every single presidential transition in this nation's history. 1254 01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:26,280 Speaker 1: But we like to pretend because Democrats have got their gullible, 1255 01:29:26,520 --> 01:29:31,000 Speaker 1: idiot base believing that Trump is some sort of unique 1256 01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:35,439 Speaker 1: existential threat to this country. Do you believe The thing 1257 01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:39,880 Speaker 1: that absolutely blows my mind is that Donald Trump is 1258 01:29:40,160 --> 01:29:44,760 Speaker 1: closer to them, at least traditional Democrats on policies such 1259 01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:49,200 Speaker 1: as foreign diplomacy as well as international trade. He's in 1260 01:29:49,320 --> 01:29:54,840 Speaker 1: favor of tariffs. Democrats have loved tariffs forever. Donald Trump 1261 01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:58,400 Speaker 1: is a peacenick. He wants to end war at all costs. 1262 01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:02,160 Speaker 1: This was the Democrats position from the Vietnam War straight 1263 01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:04,880 Speaker 1: through to the War on Terror, right until oh, I 1264 01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:07,479 Speaker 1: don't know, Donald Trump started saying that he wanted to 1265 01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:11,719 Speaker 1: end wars, and then suddenly Democrats were doing their best 1266 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:16,559 Speaker 1: Dick Cheney impression and trying to keep wars in Ukraine 1267 01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:22,839 Speaker 1: and the Middle East going. Eternally, he has absolutely broken 1268 01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:26,920 Speaker 1: their brains. Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to tell 1269 01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:32,799 Speaker 1: you that the twenty twenty eight presidential election has already begun. 1270 01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:38,800 Speaker 1: How do I know the leading candidate is already pandering 1271 01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:43,920 Speaker 1: to minority voters. It's a hilarious display from Gavin Newsom 1272 01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:49,559 Speaker 1: coming up next. This weekend saw a pitched battle between 1273 01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:55,479 Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight Democrat front runners Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris. 1274 01:30:56,040 --> 01:31:02,000 Speaker 1: Who could be more cringe and downright in embarrassing. Kamala, 1275 01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:06,080 Speaker 1: of course, is doing interview after interview after interview, something 1276 01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:09,280 Speaker 1: she pointedly refused to do while she was running for 1277 01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:12,280 Speaker 1: president because she didn't want to be exposed for the 1278 01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:16,799 Speaker 1: vapid midwit that she is. But she is now pitching 1279 01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:20,680 Speaker 1: her memoir and she is of course laying the groundwork 1280 01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:24,920 Speaker 1: for another run in twenty twenty eight. Now everyone knows 1281 01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:27,920 Speaker 1: she's going to try to run again. The whole point 1282 01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:30,720 Speaker 1: of the book, I believe the memoir is entitled one 1283 01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:34,200 Speaker 1: hundred and seven days or one hundred and seven brain cells, 1284 01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:38,240 Speaker 1: referring to just what she had to work with in 1285 01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:41,160 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four presidential election. My money is more 1286 01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:44,679 Speaker 1: on one hundred and seven brain cells. But the entire 1287 01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,960 Speaker 1: book is saying, Okay, she only had this amount of time. 1288 01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:50,720 Speaker 1: Had she more time, she would have won. Had she 1289 01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:54,320 Speaker 1: more time, more Americans would have gotten to know just 1290 01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:56,519 Speaker 1: what a vapid midwitch she is. She would have lost. 1291 01:31:56,600 --> 01:31:59,760 Speaker 1: Buy more. She did an interview over the weekend on 1292 01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:06,080 Speaker 1: BBC in which she said she I may be running again. 1293 01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:10,120 Speaker 1: The interviewer said, you are currently polling lower than Dwayne 1294 01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:11,679 Speaker 1: the Rock Johnson. 1295 01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:12,880 Speaker 15: Have you made a decision yet. 1296 01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:15,439 Speaker 1: No, I have not, But you say in your book 1297 01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm not done. 1298 01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:20,639 Speaker 20: That is correct. I am not done. I have lived 1299 01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:24,680 Speaker 20: my entire career a life of service, and it's in 1300 01:32:24,800 --> 01:32:28,160 Speaker 20: my bones, and there are many ways to serve. I've 1301 01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:31,240 Speaker 20: not decided yet what I will do in the future 1302 01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:34,519 Speaker 20: beyond what I am doing right now, but you've been very. 1303 01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:36,600 Speaker 17: Clear that it's a possibility you might run again to 1304 01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:40,120 Speaker 17: become president. And in my experience interviewing politicians, when someone 1305 01:32:40,200 --> 01:32:42,320 Speaker 17: says I'm not done, it means they are thinking seriously 1306 01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:42,880 Speaker 17: about running. 1307 01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:46,280 Speaker 20: But when you look at the bookies' odds, they put 1308 01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:47,679 Speaker 20: you as. 1309 01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:50,400 Speaker 9: An outsider, even behind Dwayne the Rock Johnson. 1310 01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:53,519 Speaker 17: I mean, is that underestimating you. 1311 01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:57,679 Speaker 20: I think there are all kinds of polls that will 1312 01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:00,799 Speaker 20: tell you a variety of things. I've never to poles 1313 01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:03,040 Speaker 20: finalsten to polls, I would have not run for my 1314 01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:06,160 Speaker 20: first office or my second office, and I certainly wouldn't 1315 01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:07,280 Speaker 20: be sitting here in this interview. 1316 01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:13,080 Speaker 1: Kudos to that interviewer from the BEB who gave Kabbola 1317 01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:19,080 Speaker 1: the people's elbow by reminding her just how unpopular she 1318 01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:23,559 Speaker 1: actually is now. Not to be outdone. Remember I said 1319 01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:27,160 Speaker 1: this was a pitched battle to be the most cringe 1320 01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:29,679 Speaker 1: Democrat of the weekend. You had a lot of competition 1321 01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:32,800 Speaker 1: at the Zoran Mom Donnie Rally over in New York. 1322 01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:39,080 Speaker 1: But Gavin Newsom was on Steven Jackson's very popular NBA podcast. 1323 01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:42,400 Speaker 1: You remember the former Bucks Stephen Jackson. He has a 1324 01:33:42,560 --> 01:33:44,880 Speaker 1: very popular podcast I forget the title of it, but 1325 01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:48,160 Speaker 1: they have big guests on as you could imagine, and 1326 01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:53,920 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom was on All Black cast on this podcast 1327 01:33:54,960 --> 01:34:00,640 Speaker 1: primarily black production crew and Gavin Newsom, who is the 1328 01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:06,479 Speaker 1: whitest nineteen eighties rom com villain you have ever seen. 1329 01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:11,320 Speaker 1: And I will remind you the son of the attorney 1330 01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:17,599 Speaker 1: for the Getty family, like J. P. Getty, John Paul Getty, 1331 01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:22,040 Speaker 1: like the Getty Museum, like Billions on top of billions. 1332 01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:28,400 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom's dad was their family attorney. Here's Gavin in 1333 01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:32,959 Speaker 1: front of an All Black audience crafting a new narrative 1334 01:34:33,200 --> 01:34:35,040 Speaker 1: about how he grew up. 1335 01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:37,800 Speaker 12: It was also about paying the bills man, And it 1336 01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:41,639 Speaker 12: was just like hustling. And so I was out there 1337 01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:45,960 Speaker 12: kind of raising myself, turning on the TV started, you know, 1338 01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:49,400 Speaker 12: just getting obsessed, you know, sitting there with the you know, 1339 01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:52,000 Speaker 12: the wonderbread and five stacks. 1340 01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:52,880 Speaker 1: Of you know, like the whites. 1341 01:34:56,960 --> 01:34:57,240 Speaker 6: Come on. 1342 01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:05,120 Speaker 1: That's how I grew up, bro with white bread and 1343 01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:09,080 Speaker 1: macaroni and cheese. Now it was made by my nanny, 1344 01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:12,559 Speaker 1: but I still I grew up on white bread and macars. 1345 01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:13,200 Speaker 6: I was just. 1346 01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:17,760 Speaker 1: Hustling man, paying the bills and he said. He goes 1347 01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:19,960 Speaker 1: on to say, I was just shooting free throws five 1348 01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:21,920 Speaker 1: hundred a day because I knew it was my only 1349 01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:25,439 Speaker 1: way out, and I was throwing that baseball against the 1350 01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:28,400 Speaker 1: garage in the hope that I would be able to 1351 01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:32,760 Speaker 1: escape the life of extreme poverty as the Getty family's 1352 01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:40,160 Speaker 1: attorney's son. Why do Democrats do this? Truly, Sandyo Cassio 1353 01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:48,040 Speaker 1: aka AOC the Bartender narrative, I'm surprised it took cool. 1354 01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:53,920 Speaker 1: Her family was very upper middle class. Zorn Mamdani came 1355 01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:59,960 Speaker 1: from a very wealthy family, very upper crust New York family. 1356 01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:05,720 Speaker 1: Yet they all pretend to be just poor Ali from 1357 01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:11,000 Speaker 1: the block. Zorn eating rice with his hands, because oh, 1358 01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:14,200 Speaker 1: that was the culture I was raised in. No, it wasn't. 1359 01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:19,960 Speaker 1: You had more forks at your family's dinner table than 1360 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:24,439 Speaker 1: the average family has ramen meals in a given day. 1361 01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:29,400 Speaker 1: None of these people know anything about poverty. Now, most 1362 01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:33,680 Speaker 1: normal people would be honest about how they grew up. 1363 01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:39,240 Speaker 1: I'm very proud of my family. My mother was one 1364 01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:43,240 Speaker 1: of the first two elected female Circuit Court judges in 1365 01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:46,240 Speaker 1: the history of Milwaukee County. I'm incredibly proud of that. 1366 01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:51,120 Speaker 1: My father was a practicing attorney for many many years 1367 01:36:51,479 --> 01:36:54,600 Speaker 1: who started a business, a very successful business, and he 1368 01:36:54,680 --> 01:37:02,800 Speaker 1: basically invented a new form of insurance subrogation law. Am 1369 01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:05,280 Speaker 1: I going to lie and say I grew up in 1370 01:37:05,360 --> 01:37:05,840 Speaker 1: the gutter? 1371 01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:06,720 Speaker 4: No? 1372 01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:10,960 Speaker 1: I didn't. I had a very good life because my 1373 01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:14,960 Speaker 1: parents worked very hard instilled in me, and I am 1374 01:37:15,080 --> 01:37:18,720 Speaker 1: now instilling in my children a belief that if you 1375 01:37:18,880 --> 01:37:21,759 Speaker 1: do work hard, if you do do well in school, 1376 01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:25,000 Speaker 1: if you do have a drive and a work ethic, 1377 01:37:25,880 --> 01:37:30,560 Speaker 1: you can and will succeed. I would love for anybody 1378 01:37:30,680 --> 01:37:34,320 Speaker 1: to tell me how I was so privileged in getting 1379 01:37:34,400 --> 01:37:37,920 Speaker 1: into talk radio with my parents. My great uncle was 1380 01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:42,000 Speaker 1: county executive for many years. Bill O'Donnell, my grandfather's brother. 1381 01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:47,120 Speaker 1: My grandpa was a county attorney for many many years. 1382 01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:52,960 Speaker 1: What is it about democrats that they have to lie 1383 01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:54,120 Speaker 1: about who they are? 1384 01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:54,240 Speaker 9: What? 1385 01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:56,320 Speaker 1: I guess I could end that sense. What is it 1386 01:37:56,400 --> 01:38:00,040 Speaker 1: about democrats that they have to lie? What would do 1387 01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:02,680 Speaker 1: you think of me? For example? And I'm just a 1388 01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:04,880 Speaker 1: radio host. I don't want to be your governor or 1389 01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:07,400 Speaker 1: your president or anything like that. I want to entertain 1390 01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:09,880 Speaker 1: you for three hours a day while you drive home. 1391 01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:14,800 Speaker 1: If I was I was saying about all of this 1392 01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:20,000 Speaker 1: struggle and hardship and all of that, and you found 1393 01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:24,640 Speaker 1: out it just wasn't true. Clearly, Gavin Newsom was not 1394 01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:28,720 Speaker 1: eating white bread and mac and cheese, although as he 1395 01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:31,400 Speaker 1: said that, I'm kind of think of the kids really 1396 01:38:31,479 --> 01:38:34,559 Speaker 1: like Kraft macaroni and cheese, so do I. I happen 1397 01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:38,280 Speaker 1: to like white bread, sue me. I like sourdough bread 1398 01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:41,040 Speaker 1: quite a bit more Italian bread obviously, but you know, 1399 01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:45,360 Speaker 1: white bread and mac and cheese. I like ramen. My producer, 1400 01:38:45,479 --> 01:38:48,840 Speaker 1: Jeff Worlowski and I we bonded over our love of 1401 01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:51,599 Speaker 1: the ramen soup in a cup or with a cupo 1402 01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:53,560 Speaker 1: soup or whatever. It's fantastic. 1403 01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:54,720 Speaker 6: You know. 1404 01:38:54,920 --> 01:38:58,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, I make a lot of money. I eat ramen, 1405 01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:02,120 Speaker 1: I eat macaroni and cheese. I can't assume me. I 1406 01:39:02,160 --> 01:39:09,040 Speaker 1: don't know. But Democrats have this pathological need to create 1407 01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:13,000 Speaker 1: for themselves allure that just is not in any way 1408 01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:20,080 Speaker 1: in line with reality, because they believe that success or 1409 01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:24,800 Speaker 1: coming from something that isn't abject poverty or dysfunction is 1410 01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:29,040 Speaker 1: somehow immoral. Because if you think about it, to the 1411 01:39:29,160 --> 01:39:36,080 Speaker 1: democrat brain, to the left wing communist modern ideology to 1412 01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:40,400 Speaker 1: admit where san Dio, Cassio and Zoron, Mamdannie and Gavin 1413 01:39:40,439 --> 01:39:44,439 Speaker 1: Newsom actually came from is to admit that they are 1414 01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:48,240 Speaker 1: this stated enemy. They are the hated rich, They are 1415 01:39:48,479 --> 01:39:52,280 Speaker 1: the people who democrats need to protect the rest of 1416 01:39:52,439 --> 01:39:57,679 Speaker 1: society against. It is a truly warped worldview that almost 1417 01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:03,479 Speaker 1: forces this level of sociopathy where you get people just 1418 01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:07,280 Speaker 1: openly lying about it. It's like he's Steve Martin saying 1419 01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:12,040 Speaker 1: I was born a poor black child. You get this 1420 01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:16,000 Speaker 1: because he can't be honest about who he is, because 1421 01:40:16,080 --> 01:40:19,720 Speaker 1: Democrats have openly said if you are white, if you 1422 01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:24,599 Speaker 1: are heterosexual, if you are Christian, if you live above 1423 01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:28,479 Speaker 1: a certain level of salary, we hate you. We want 1424 01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:32,240 Speaker 1: to seize your assets, we want to take the country 1425 01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:37,840 Speaker 1: from you and subjugate you. In that sense, maybe it 1426 01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:42,400 Speaker 1: makes all the sense in the world that Gavin Newsom 1427 01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:46,040 Speaker 1: would pretend to be a poor black child. Dan O'donnald Show, 1428 01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:48,760 Speaker 1: coming right back, admit it. Last night's win felt a 1429 01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:52,439 Speaker 1: little sweeter, didn't it, because it was over Aaron Rodgers 1430 01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:58,000 Speaker 1: and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh dominated that first half. Kudos 1431 01:40:58,160 --> 01:41:03,240 Speaker 1: to Matt Lafleur for making the necessary adjustments, and Jordan Love. 1432 01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:05,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if he was in a coma in 1433 01:41:05,640 --> 01:41:10,200 Speaker 1: the first half, but he completes twenty consecutive passes, the 1434 01:41:10,280 --> 01:41:14,320 Speaker 1: most since Brett farre for the Packers, and Tuck her 1435 01:41:14,439 --> 01:41:17,559 Speaker 1: Craft with two touchdowns and one hundred and forty plus 1436 01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:20,400 Speaker 1: yards receiving, just had the game of his life. I'm 1437 01:41:20,439 --> 01:41:22,479 Speaker 1: telling you, I have been saying that I have been 1438 01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:26,240 Speaker 1: beating the drum all season long, really since last season. 1439 01:41:26,400 --> 01:41:29,800 Speaker 1: Tucker Kraft is going to be the next provided he 1440 01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:32,599 Speaker 1: stays healthy, he is going to be the next great 1441 01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:35,680 Speaker 1: NFL tight end. He may not end up with a 1442 01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:39,240 Speaker 1: pop star wife, but he is good. He may not 1443 01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:44,320 Speaker 1: end up by being, you know, being the nation's premiere 1444 01:41:44,439 --> 01:41:49,280 Speaker 1: meathead like Rob Gronkowski, but he is going to put 1445 01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:53,559 Speaker 1: up that level of production. He looks that good. Hard 1446 01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:57,840 Speaker 1: to believe the Packers took Muskrave around ahead of Craft. 1447 01:41:57,880 --> 01:41:59,760 Speaker 1: How do you think Luke Muskrave feels. I mean, I'm 1448 01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:02,000 Speaker 1: sure happy for his teammate, and I'm told the two 1449 01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:06,559 Speaker 1: are friends, but man, Tucker Craft just looks like a special, 1450 01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:11,040 Speaker 1: special player. Am I the only Green Bay Packers fan 1451 01:42:11,160 --> 01:42:15,360 Speaker 1: and I sometimes feel like I am who has a 1452 01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:22,120 Speaker 1: lingering soft spot for Aaron Rodgers. Producer Jeff, you're saying, no, no, 1453 01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:27,040 Speaker 1: I'm not the only guy, or no, you love Aaron Rodgers. Okay, good. 1454 01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:34,280 Speaker 1: I think people forget as weird and as socially awkward 1455 01:42:34,479 --> 01:42:38,080 Speaker 1: and as frankly vindictive to the people in his personal life, 1456 01:42:38,160 --> 01:42:41,080 Speaker 1: like his family, who he apparently hasn't talked to in 1457 01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:45,840 Speaker 1: something like a decade. He is one of us. He 1458 01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:50,160 Speaker 1: is a libertarian leaning conservative. He got red pilled by 1459 01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:55,960 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. He is a big supporter of RFK Junior 1460 01:42:56,040 --> 01:43:00,760 Speaker 1: and the MAHA Make America Healthy Again movement. But over 1461 01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:04,040 Speaker 1: and above that, I mean, I guess I'm just old 1462 01:43:04,160 --> 01:43:09,000 Speaker 1: enough to remember what a great player he was. I mean, 1463 01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:15,280 Speaker 1: in terms of the pure ability to play the quarterback position. 1464 01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:19,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I've seen anybody better in the history 1465 01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:22,080 Speaker 1: of the NFL. And I know what a statement that is. 1466 01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:26,920 Speaker 1: You put Aaron Rodgers on the New England Patriots had 1467 01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:30,960 Speaker 1: the same defenses as Tom Brady. You put Aaron Rodgers 1468 01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:35,320 Speaker 1: on the two thousand and seven New England Patriots with 1469 01:43:35,479 --> 01:43:40,880 Speaker 1: Randy Moss, I'm fairly confident. Rogers throws eighty touchdowns. You 1470 01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:44,840 Speaker 1: put Rogers on the Peyton Manning Denver Broncos where Manning 1471 01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:48,519 Speaker 1: had like fifty five touchdowns, Demarius Thomas the late great receiver, 1472 01:43:49,200 --> 01:43:52,080 Speaker 1: and it wasn't Courtland Sutton, whoever the other one was. 1473 01:43:52,400 --> 01:43:54,880 Speaker 1: He had a couple of just incredible receivers. They had 1474 01:43:55,080 --> 01:44:00,360 Speaker 1: an amazing passing attack. Rogers throws seventy five touchdowns, That's 1475 01:44:00,439 --> 01:44:03,080 Speaker 1: how good he was in his prime. He's clearly well 1476 01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:05,679 Speaker 1: past his prime. But you saw some of those throws 1477 01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:08,200 Speaker 1: that he was making in the first half, some of 1478 01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:12,439 Speaker 1: the throws. I've been keeping tabs on Pittsburgh this season. 1479 01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,599 Speaker 1: Their defense is just not nearly as good as advertise. 1480 01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:18,439 Speaker 1: It showed. I mean, they were just giving up yards 1481 01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:22,080 Speaker 1: in bunches. They had no answer for Tucker Craft. The 1482 01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:25,160 Speaker 1: running game wore them down. They just didn't look like 1483 01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:28,520 Speaker 1: a great defense, and normally the Steelers have just great defenses. 1484 01:44:29,439 --> 01:44:31,880 Speaker 1: Packers did not look like a good team in the 1485 01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:35,800 Speaker 1: first half. And yes, early on this season they have 1486 01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:38,719 Speaker 1: sort of struggled a little bit to find their footing. 1487 01:44:39,560 --> 01:44:42,600 Speaker 1: But I think people are sleeping on them. Yes, a 1488 01:44:42,800 --> 01:44:46,240 Speaker 1: loss to the Cleveland Browns will do that to you, 1489 01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:50,400 Speaker 1: and yes, a tie to a Dallas Cowboys team that 1490 01:44:50,479 --> 01:44:53,519 Speaker 1: we thought was not nearly as good as it is, 1491 01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:58,720 Speaker 1: at least offensively. I do believe the Packers right now 1492 01:44:59,040 --> 01:45:04,360 Speaker 1: are probably their record. Their winning percentage actually puts them 1493 01:45:04,439 --> 01:45:08,280 Speaker 1: number one in the league. Because of that tie. I 1494 01:45:08,400 --> 01:45:11,040 Speaker 1: think they're probably the third or fourth best team in 1495 01:45:11,120 --> 01:45:14,960 Speaker 1: the league right now. Now what does that matter come 1496 01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:19,640 Speaker 1: playoff time? Absolutely nothing. And the Packers do have a 1497 01:45:19,840 --> 01:45:25,160 Speaker 1: relatively difficult schedule. But who looks better than them right now? 1498 01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:30,000 Speaker 1: Detroit they look pretty good. I'll give you that. The 1499 01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:32,800 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, what if they won five straight games? They 1500 01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:36,600 Speaker 1: look very good defensively. And Bo Nicks appears to be 1501 01:45:36,720 --> 01:45:39,320 Speaker 1: the real deal. And how about speaking of the New 1502 01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:43,960 Speaker 1: England Patriots, Drake may is looking like a great quarterback. 1503 01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:44,240 Speaker 20: Two. 1504 01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:47,040 Speaker 1: You've got two teams out there in New England and 1505 01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:51,880 Speaker 1: Buffalo that are very very good. The Indianapolis Colts. Actually, 1506 01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:54,800 Speaker 1: the Colts have the best record in football because they 1507 01:45:55,360 --> 01:45:57,360 Speaker 1: only have one loss, right, They're seven and one. Yeah, 1508 01:45:57,400 --> 01:45:59,360 Speaker 1: so okay, the Colts have the best record in football. 1509 01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:03,720 Speaker 1: You've of course always got the Kansas City Rafts, excuse me, 1510 01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:09,000 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. Philadelphia still looks pretty good, but 1511 01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:12,479 Speaker 1: the Packers are right in their Tampa Bay looks like 1512 01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:17,000 Speaker 1: a good team, fortunately for Green Bay. The Minnesota Vikings, 1513 01:46:17,439 --> 01:46:19,840 Speaker 1: I'm still has anybody figured out what's going on with 1514 01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:24,519 Speaker 1: their quarterback JJ McCarthy. Carson Wentz is now apparently out 1515 01:46:24,600 --> 01:46:27,120 Speaker 1: for the year, and nobody is being straight about the 1516 01:46:27,360 --> 01:46:30,679 Speaker 1: Jj McCarthy injury, which makes me think there's some friction 1517 01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:37,519 Speaker 1: between McCarthy and the Vikings already. Producer Jeff says it's 1518 01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:40,320 Speaker 1: because and I quote, he sucks. How much do you 1519 01:46:40,400 --> 01:46:43,680 Speaker 1: think the Vikings are regretting not signing Aaron Rodgers in 1520 01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:46,719 Speaker 1: the off season. I thought that was a massive mistake. 1521 01:46:47,160 --> 01:46:50,200 Speaker 1: First of all, it would have fulfilled his destiny to 1522 01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:54,439 Speaker 1: just follow Brett Farre's career completely going to the Jets 1523 01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:57,680 Speaker 1: and then the Minnesota Vikings. But it just made all 1524 01:46:57,760 --> 01:47:00,400 Speaker 1: the sense in the world. You're gonna rush mc carthy 1525 01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:05,000 Speaker 1: back from a bad knee injury. You're gonna throw him 1526 01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:07,960 Speaker 1: into what is very likely one of the best divisions, 1527 01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:13,280 Speaker 1: if not the best division in football. The other big 1528 01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:17,280 Speaker 1: takeaway from Sunday and I watched a good amount of 1529 01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:19,599 Speaker 1: the games. I was doing stuff around the house, mowing 1530 01:47:19,640 --> 01:47:22,720 Speaker 1: the lawn and I had YouTube TV on, so yes, 1531 01:47:22,840 --> 01:47:25,679 Speaker 1: I was one of those guys who was watching TV 1532 01:47:25,880 --> 01:47:29,800 Speaker 1: on my phone while mowing the lawn. It was funny, 1533 01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:36,000 Speaker 1: it was great. Cam Skataboo just destroying his ankle badly dislocated, 1534 01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:40,479 Speaker 1: broken out for this season with ankle surgery. That is 1535 01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:44,360 Speaker 1: horrible for the NFL. For those who don't know, Cam's 1536 01:47:44,360 --> 01:47:48,920 Speaker 1: Skataboo is this little white rookie running back who he's 1537 01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:52,560 Speaker 1: sort of like, who is that he man character? He 1538 01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:55,880 Speaker 1: man's buddy who would like use his head to like 1539 01:47:56,080 --> 01:47:59,759 Speaker 1: butt in it. Not man at arms. Oh my gosh, 1540 01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:01,800 Speaker 1: he had the toy when I was a kid. That 1541 01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:05,800 Speaker 1: is Cam Skataboo, okay, And he's just he's this little 1542 01:48:05,920 --> 01:48:09,120 Speaker 1: meat heead and he was just He made the New 1543 01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:13,400 Speaker 1: York Giants, he and Jackson Dart, their rookie quarterback. He 1544 01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:16,360 Speaker 1: made them look just like an inquir They were a 1545 01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:20,040 Speaker 1: fun team to watch, and it was just sad to 1546 01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:22,760 Speaker 1: see his season end like that. So here's hoping that 1547 01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:25,120 Speaker 1: he is back, because guys like him are just good 1548 01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:28,680 Speaker 1: for the full of personality. You just can't help but 1549 01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:34,000 Speaker 1: root for them. That honestly, it's sort of like I 1550 01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:36,200 Speaker 1: had the same connection to Brett Farv. I mean, Brett 1551 01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:38,280 Speaker 1: Farv was the Packers quarterback when I was a little kid. 1552 01:48:38,800 --> 01:48:42,479 Speaker 1: Obviously I am going to love Brett Farr. But man, 1553 01:48:43,200 --> 01:48:47,799 Speaker 1: the technical mastery of the quarterback position by Aaron Rodgers, 1554 01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:53,439 Speaker 1: it was. It was truly a beautiful thing to beholding. 1555 01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:55,320 Speaker 1: The old man still got it. Did you see the 1556 01:48:55,560 --> 01:49:00,160 Speaker 1: uh hail Mary he threw? It went seventy yards in 1557 01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:02,800 Speaker 1: the other guy's forty two years old? All right, we 1558 01:49:02,840 --> 01:49:05,240 Speaker 1: will be back to rather. I just had to talk 1559 01:49:05,320 --> 01:49:08,040 Speaker 1: a little bit about football. Sue me, folks. It was 1560 01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:09,800 Speaker 1: a great Packers win. We'll be back on the Dan 1561 01:49:09,880 --> 01:49:13,479 Speaker 1: O'Donnell show after this is dot com talking text line 1562 01:49:13,520 --> 01:49:18,600 Speaker 1: that he Man's buddy, who reminds me of cam Scataboo, 1563 01:49:19,720 --> 01:49:27,360 Speaker 1: is named Si ram Man. He Man is not beating 1564 01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:34,519 Speaker 1: the allegations walking around in his skimpy loincloth with a 1565 01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:39,320 Speaker 1: homie named ram Man. If you were a child of 1566 01:49:39,400 --> 01:49:43,320 Speaker 1: the eighties, you grew up with he Man, despite how 1567 01:49:43,520 --> 01:49:47,360 Speaker 1: totally gay the concept all what. So let's see, Prince 1568 01:49:47,600 --> 01:49:55,440 Speaker 1: Adam has to keep his wild warrior, scantily clad, shirtless, 1569 01:49:55,600 --> 01:50:01,400 Speaker 1: rippling muscle persona hidden from the rest of the Kingdom. 1570 01:50:01,439 --> 01:50:04,000 Speaker 1: But it would come out and he would hang out 1571 01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:11,400 Speaker 1: with ram Man and they would battle Skeletor. We had 1572 01:50:11,439 --> 01:50:13,960 Speaker 1: no idea what this was an allegory for when we 1573 01:50:14,040 --> 01:50:17,080 Speaker 1: were five years old, but by God, we loved those toys. 1574 01:50:17,479 --> 01:50:22,280 Speaker 1: I had practically every he Man toy. I loved he 1575 01:50:22,439 --> 01:50:28,519 Speaker 1: Man toys. I even had Shira, which was marketed towards girls, 1576 01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:31,479 Speaker 1: but I was I didn't get the other Shira dolls, 1577 01:50:31,520 --> 01:50:34,800 Speaker 1: which were just obviously dolls, but Sheira was integral to 1578 01:50:34,880 --> 01:50:38,719 Speaker 1: the story. He Man needed Shira to defeat the powers 1579 01:50:38,800 --> 01:50:42,160 Speaker 1: of Skeletor and Hoardak. I guess they're making another live 1580 01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:45,320 Speaker 1: action he Man movie. They're trying to make this into 1581 01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:49,880 Speaker 1: another big franchise. But ram Man was the guy who 1582 01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:57,320 Speaker 1: ram Man. His name is ram Man, okay, and he 1583 01:50:57,320 --> 01:51:00,240 Speaker 1: would use his head to just batter into people. That's 1584 01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:06,960 Speaker 1: who reminded me of Cam Scataboo. Late breaking news, John Dickerson, 1585 01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:10,920 Speaker 1: longtime CBS news anchor, most recently the co anchor of 1586 01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:15,720 Speaker 1: the CBS Evening News, says today he's done. In November, 1587 01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:20,120 Speaker 1: he is going to exit the network. Barry Weiss not 1588 01:51:20,360 --> 01:51:24,840 Speaker 1: the delicious beer from Linen Googles, but rather the editor 1589 01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:28,360 Speaker 1: of the Free Press, who was brought in following the 1590 01:51:28,680 --> 01:51:33,599 Speaker 1: acquisition of CBS to be the CBS News editor in chief. 1591 01:51:34,280 --> 01:51:36,599 Speaker 1: I still love the fact that her name is Barry Weiss. 1592 01:51:37,240 --> 01:51:39,320 Speaker 1: Whenever I would talk about her or the Free Press 1593 01:51:39,439 --> 01:51:41,800 Speaker 1: or something, all people would say, Barry Weiss, You mean 1594 01:51:41,920 --> 01:51:44,759 Speaker 1: like the drink. Yes, in Wisconsin, we think of something 1595 01:51:44,840 --> 01:51:48,519 Speaker 1: completely different when we hear the words Barry Weiss. Barry 1596 01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:52,519 Speaker 1: Weiss is supposed to be offering a massive amount of 1597 01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:57,080 Speaker 1: money to pry Brett Bayer away from the Fox News Channel. 1598 01:51:57,479 --> 01:51:59,840 Speaker 1: If I'm Brett Baher's agent, he would take over this 1599 01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:05,479 Speaker 1: CBS Evening News. I would disavow this idea. No matter 1600 01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:09,040 Speaker 1: how much money CBS offers you, it would go the 1601 01:52:09,240 --> 01:52:14,840 Speaker 1: same way Megan Kelly with NBC went, No left wing 1602 01:52:15,040 --> 01:52:18,720 Speaker 1: newsroom will ever accept you because you dared to work 1603 01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:22,599 Speaker 1: for Fox News. That's the reality of and that speaks 1604 01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:26,560 Speaker 1: volumes about the state of the news business and precisely 1605 01:52:26,680 --> 01:52:29,960 Speaker 1: why someone like Barry Weiss, who is not in any 1606 01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:33,840 Speaker 1: way a dogmatic conservative, but rather someone who actually cares 1607 01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:40,960 Speaker 1: a book about more honest, less overtly propagandistic news masquerading 1608 01:52:41,040 --> 01:52:44,080 Speaker 1: as fair and balanced, and at this point people's oh dud, 1609 01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:47,919 Speaker 1: dn you do conservative news. Yes, I am an opinion journalist, 1610 01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:50,599 Speaker 1: and I tell you I'm an opinion journalist. I don't 1611 01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:53,519 Speaker 1: pretend to play it straight down the middle. CBS News, 1612 01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:58,080 Speaker 1: especially sixty Minutes has Weiss is supposed to be shaking 1613 01:52:58,280 --> 01:53:00,960 Speaker 1: up sixty Minutes as well. It would be one thing 1614 01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:06,720 Speaker 1: if these programs were doing exceptionally well. They're not. They 1615 01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:10,880 Speaker 1: are in dire need of an overhaul, and if the 1616 01:53:10,960 --> 01:53:14,760 Speaker 1: TV news business wants to remain relevant in the era 1617 01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:19,280 Speaker 1: of social media and viral clips, it would do well 1618 01:53:19,680 --> 01:53:23,559 Speaker 1: to appeal to all people, not just lips out of time. 1619 01:53:23,760 --> 01:53:26,600 Speaker 1: Talk to you tomorrow three oh six, right here on 1620 01:53:26,680 --> 01:53:27,800 Speaker 1: the Dan O'donnald's show.
