46
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: President Trump in Detroit to tout his economic agenda and

47
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: successes of the first eleven months that he has been

48
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: back in office, highlighting the fact that real wages are

49
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: up after four years of them going straight down under

50
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: Sleepy Joe Biden. He also took aim at the fraud

51
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: that his Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson estimates eats up between

52
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: five and ten percent of the federal budget each and

53
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: every year. Well, the President is doubling down on his

54
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: administration's efforts to go after that fraud and protect the

55
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: American people.

56
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: Last week, we announced that I'm creating a brand new

57
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: division at the Department of Justice, a legal strike force,

58
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: led by a really tough, smart new Attorney General for fraud.

59
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: He's a fantastic young guy. He's so impassioned to do

60
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: this properly. We intend to imprison any fraudster, politician or

61
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 3: public official involved in these sick plots to loot and

62
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: pillage our country.

63
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: That's not all, though, the President says he is taking

64
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: aim at the Somali fraudsters in Minnesota, in particular, by

65
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: pledging to denaturalize their citizenship and strip it from them

66
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: if they're convicted of defrauding the American people.

67
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: We're also going to revoke the citizenship of any naturalized

68
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: immigrant from Somalia or anywhere else who is convicted of defrauding.

69
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: We're going to get them the hell out of here, fans.

70
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: The President is also pledging and if you take on

71
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: sanctuary states by stripping them of all of their funding

72
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: by February first. Much more on that coming up. Our

73
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: daily Trump date is at four o'clock. Right after that.

74
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: The United States.

75
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Supreme Court heard oral arguments today in a pair of

76
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 1: cases that have been consolidated and are expected to produce

77
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: one ruling, a significant one on whether or not states

78
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: can regulate boys playing in girls sports. We will discuss

79
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: this in great depth at about ten after four. We

80
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: will also break for you an exclusive story. Democrats who

81
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: claim to be standing up for Hispanic people against ice

82
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: raids in Minneapolis and Wisconsin and across the country actually

83
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: bullied a Hispanic woman out of an election in Waukeshaw

84
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: Why because quote, she's a disgrace Hispanics. What was her crime?

85
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: Being conservative. We'll get into that in the four o'clock hour.

86
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: And Governor Evers is realizing the political fallout from his

87
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: four hundred year veto, which dramatically spiked property taxes pretty

88
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: much across the state. Now he wants Republicans to go

89
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: along with what else, a bailout. That story coming up

90
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: in the five o'clock hour right here on the Dan

91
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: O'Donnell Show. Right now, though, a big update to an

92
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: exclusive story that we broke for you on Friday afternoon

93
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: about a candidate for the second Circuit Court of Appeals.

94
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: Wisconsin has several district courts of Appeals. This is the

95
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: step below the Wisconsin Supreme Court. So the Wisconsin state

96
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: court system is set up to mirror the federal court system.

97
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: There is one court of last resort that is the

98
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. Below that, there is a Court of Appeals.

99
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: There are several districts. District one is pretty much just

100
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: Milwaukee County. In fact, I think it's entirely Milwaukee County,

101
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: so those court judges will review decisions from Milwaukee County

102
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: Circuit Court judges. The second district Court of Appeals is

103
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: Waukeshaw and several other counties. It is a very conservative court,

104
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 1: and there was a woman by the name.

105
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 2: Of Christine L.

106
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: Hanson, who is politically and judicially very liberal, who wanted

107
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: to go up against a very very good judicial candidate,

108
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: the conservative Anthony Lecoco. They are battling for an open

109
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: seat and they are going to go at it in

110
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: this April's election. At least until the liberal Christine Hanson

111
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: submitted her declaration of candidacy, there were two major disqualifying

112
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: errors on it. In order to get on the ballot

113
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, you need a couple of very basic things.

114
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: You need to submit a petition with enough signatures of

115
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: people who are in your district that want to see

116
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: you on the ballot. This is to ensure that our

117
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: ballots aren't seventy five pages long. There needs to be

118
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: some very minimal bar to getting on the ballot.

119
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: She failed to clear it.

120
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: She did get enough valid signatures, at least as far

121
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: as I know. But there's a second requirement, and that

122
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: is the declaration of candidacy. Now, you would think this

123
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: would be an easy one, especially for somebody with a

124
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: legal background who wants to be a judge. Filing legal

125
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: documents and making sure they are filled out correctly is

126
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: pretty much all you do in the law. Of course

127
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: that's a joke, but there's a whole lot of paperwork,

128
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: and people who go to law school, people who join

129
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: the legal profession are typically very, very good at doing paperwork.

130
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: They have egalized they have tremendous attention for detail, and

131
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: they know how to follow every single rule except Christine Hanson.

132
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: On her declaration of candidacy, she says that this signature

133
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: was notarized in the state of Wisconsin in the county

134
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: of Also Wisconsin instead of Waukeshaw County. She put Wisconsin County. Now, okay,

135
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: I've had typos, I've put the wrong things on documents.

136
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 2: It happens. It happens to everybody. Here's the real problem.

137
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: She had her.

138
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: Husband, who also happens to be Waukeshaw County's Corporation Council,

139
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: meaning he represents the county, notarize her signature. This is

140
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: completely unlawful. Wisconsin law is remarkably clear a spouse or

141
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: a domestic partner is not allowed to notarize any document

142
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: for their spouse, any document with respect to a record

143
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: to which the officer or the officer's spouse or domestic

144
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: partner is a party or in which either of them

145
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: has a direct beneficial interest. That is Wisconsin Statute one

146
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: four zero point zero two. Very clearly, it was violated

147
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: by two people who should know what the law says,

148
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: Waukeshaw County's Corporation Council and by the way, Wukeshaw County,

149
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: I am seriously concerned now for any documents that your

150
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 1: corporation council is putting his name on, because it doesn't

151
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: seem as though he's reading them all that closely or

152
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 1: is particularly concerned with following the law to the very letter.

153
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: Every single declaration candidacy, though needs to be notarized. This

154
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: was not under Wisconsin Statute eight point three zero The

155
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Elections Commission quote may not place a candidate's name

156
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: on the ballot if the candidate fails to file a

157
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: declaration of candidacy within the time prescribed. Christine Hanson did not.

158
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: The law is very clear. Now what does it say

159
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: about the state of the Wisconsin Elections Commission and the

160
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: state of election law enforcement more generally here in Wisconsin

161
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: that I had absolutely no faith that Christine L. Hanson

162
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: would be barred from the ballot, even though the letter

163
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: of the law, the spirit of the law, every aspect

164
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: of the law could not be more clear. She has

165
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: no business being on the ballot if she couldn't even

166
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: go down to her bank and get a notary public

167
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: to notarize her signature for her. And as I said

168
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: on Friday, my entire family is attorneys.

169
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: There are notary publics up and down. You can't walk.

170
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 2: You could not.

171
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: Walk around my childhood home without stepping over at least

172
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: five or six notary seals. Okay, I'm making that up,

173
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: but my point is that there are a whole ton

174
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: of notary republics in my family. Usually I just go

175
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 1: to my bank because it's way easier, and also I'm

176
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: very cognizant. I will admit I did not know the

177
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: extent to which you could not notarize a signature for

178
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: someone in your family. I guess I always just assumed.

179
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: I never went to my mom or went to my dad,

180
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: who are both notaries, because I just sort of assumed, Okay,

181
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: you can't notarize something for your child, So I always

182
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: just went to Apparently you can, it's just a spouse, Okay,

183
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: I did not know, but I always just went to

184
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: the bank because it's obviously easier. It's not very often

185
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: that I need a notarized signature for something, but that's

186
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: a great service that my bank provides. The Wisconsin Elections Commission,

187
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: believe it or not, today voted five to one to

188
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: keep Christine L. Hanson off the ballot. The only dissenting

189
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: vote was Mark Thompson, who is a very liberal member

190
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: of the Commission and went on a little screed during

191
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: this afternoon's meeting about disenfranchising the fourteen hundred people who

192
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: signed the petition to get Hanson on the ballot. They're disenfranchised.

193
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: Do you know what the problem with that is? With

194
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: that assessment. They didn't actually vote for anything. They can

195
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: still vote in this race. They can vote for Anthony Lecoco.

196
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: They can even if they want write in Christine L.

197
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: Hanson.

198
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: She can get on the ballot. She just has to

199
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: get her supporters to write her in. Now, as a

200
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: practical matter, is this ever going to be successful? No,

201
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: of course it's But the idea that the fourteen hundred

202
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 1: people who signed the petition for Christine Hanson to get

203
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: on the ballot were disenfranchised is ludicrous.

204
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 2: If they're disenfranchised by.

205
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: Anybody, they're disenfranchised by their idiot of a candidate who

206
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: couldn't manage to get a declaration of candidacy right. The

207
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Elections Commission staff, which is still headed by Megan Wolf,

208
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: who refused to go quietly into that good night even

209
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: though she very obviously overstayed her term, recommended that Hanson

210
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: be kept off the bout. I could not believe what

211
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: I saw, Honest to goodness. I was getting texts from

212
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: a source who was watching this meeting. I obviously was

213
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: doing show prep and kind of had it on in

214
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: the background and was half paying attention. But because I

215
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: have to put in so many sound bites, I need

216
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: my computer's audio, I couldn't have to sound up, and

217
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: I was just sort of monitoring this. My source said,

218
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: you won't believe this. When the staff recommendation came down

219
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: shortly before the meetings start, staff is recommending that she

220
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: be barred from the ballot, I said, there's no way.

221
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: There is no way. I thought, by hooker, by crook,

222
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: they were going to find a way to get this

223
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: lib on the ballot, to get her on the Court

224
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: of Appeals. So now Anthony Lecoco basically has a free

225
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: ride to the Court of Appeals, which is good because

226
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: I've talked to Anthony Lecoco. I believe we had him

227
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: on the show. I met with him just for a

228
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: lunch to get to know him. He's a really, really

229
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: good guy. He's going to be an absolutely spectacular judge

230
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: on this court. And he actually managed to fill out

231
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: his declaration of candidacy properly, so you know, he's got

232
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: that going for him, which is nice. When we come back,

233
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: the most radical proposal I have yet heard from any

234
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: candidate for governor for dealing with Ice. It's so radical

235
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: even Governor Tony Evers came out and slapped it down today.

236
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: You're not gonna want to miss this. It's coming up

237
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: in just three minutes here on The Dan o'donald's show.

238
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: It is The Dan o'donald's Show. Welcome back to it.

239
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: The truth is that Sarah Rodriguez, Wisconsin's lieutenant governor and

240
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: democrats preferred candidate for governor of Wisconsin, at least preferred

241
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: next to man deadbeat Barnes and Francesca Hank, has unveiled

242
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: a plan to obstruct Ice investigations here in the state.

243
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: That is so radical that even Wisconsin's left wing Governor

244
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: Tony Evers is today distancing himself from it. Lieutenant Governor

245
00:15:52,800 --> 00:16:01,359
Speaker 1: Sarah Rodriguez put out her ICE Ready plan, writing quote,

246
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: families should not have to choose between their safety and

247
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: accessing justice, healthcare, education, or worship. Sarah calls for ensuring

248
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: that essential community spaces remain safe and accessible by banning

249
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: civil immigration enforcement actions in and around courthouses, hospitals and

250
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: health clinics, licensed childcare centers and daycares, schools and institutions

251
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: of higher education, domestic violence shelters, and places of worship,

252
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: exceptions a judicial warrant, and imminent threats to public safety. Now,

253
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't think I need to tell you listeners of

254
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell show who actually understand how this little

255
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: thing called federalism works, that what she is proposing is

256
00:16:54,160 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: completely and totally unconstitutional. An ICE quote civil warrant is

257
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: every bit as valid as a judicial warrant. It is

258
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: known as an administrative warrant, and it allows ICE officers

259
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: to determine based on a systematic review of who it

260
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: is that they're targeting and what their actions are that

261
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: warrant deportation. This is all part and parcel of the

262
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six Immigration and Naturalization Act, passed by Democrats

263
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 1: and signed by President Bill Clinton. You want to take

264
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: it up with somebody, Take it.

265
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: Up with them.

266
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: Democrats, including Rodriguez, have got it through their heads that

267
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: somehow you need a judicial warrant for ICE to be

268
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: able to have a valid enforcement operation. The nineteen ninety

269
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 1: six Act specifically rejected this because there were so many

270
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: illegals in this country who needed to be deported. How

271
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: quaint that seems that back in nineteen ninety six we

272
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: were worried about out how many illegals were in this country.

273
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: We didn't have four years of Joe Biden and Kamala

274
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: Harris flooding this nation with eleven million to fifteen million

275
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: more of them. But the idea was that ICE needed

276
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: to move so quickly, and that there were so many

277
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: potential targets that it would be impossible for judges to

278
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: sign off on every warrant. So ICE was granted the

279
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: statutory authority.

280
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: And this is critical.

281
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: I want Sarah Roberty, I know her people, listen to

282
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: this program. I want them all to listen very carefully.

283
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: The legislature authorized the executive to issue its own warrants,

284
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: and the executive signed off on this authority. Not only

285
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: that the judicial branch did not revoke this power for

286
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: said executive agency. I mean, it is perfectly lawful and

287
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: it is perfectly constitutional. Now, the other aspect of federalism

288
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: that Democrats don't particularly want to confront because it has

289
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: a tendency to defeat all of their hysteria over ICE

290
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: investigations is that a governor of a state has no

291
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: authority to designate the places that federal agents can and

292
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: can't execute warrants. We've also gotten it through our heads

293
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: as Democrats that somehow a place of worship is sacro sanct,

294
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: that a courtroom is somewhere where ICE agents couldn't possibly

295
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 1: take in a dangerous trend. De Aragua gangbanger call this

296
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: the Hannadugan effect. ICE agents are absolutely authorized to operate anywhere.

297
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: In fact, authorities do not have the authority to supersede

298
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: federal law. Enforcement of federal law takes place where enforcement

299
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: of federal law takes place, whether that's at a domestic

300
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: violent shelter, whether that's at a hospital, and a health clinic,

301
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: whether that's at a courthouse, it does not matter if

302
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: the federal government, if the Congress of the United States

303
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: and the President were to get together pass legislation, the

304
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: President would sign saying Okay, Ice, you are no longer

305
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: authorized to work in courthouses, you're no longer authorized to

306
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: conduct operations in hospitals. Then that would be a valid

307
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: reigning in of federal authority. The governor of Wisconsin has

308
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: no authority to do this, but it doesn't matter to

309
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: Sarah Rodriguez because it sounds good now. In one of

310
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: the more shocking developments since the Wisconsin Elections Commission actually

311
00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: properly interpreted and applied state election law against a role

312
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: Court of Appeals, candidate Governor Tony Evers came out today

313
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: he was asked about Rodriguez's ice plan, and he actually

314
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: distanced himself from it and dismissed it as a bit

315
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: too left wing even for him.

316
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 4: You know, we can take a look at that, but

317
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 4: I think, you know, banning things will absolutely ramp up

318
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 4: the uh, the actions of our folks in Washington, DC.

319
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 4: They don't they don't tend to approach those things appropriately. Uh,

320
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 4: And so we're we're we're very, very vigilant. I'm not

321
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 4: sure that we have the ability to do what the

322
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 4: lieutenant governor is doing or want to do.

323
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: So we'll see what is going on here.

324
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: What seriously, am I having some sort of fever dream

325
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: I've been under the weather for the past couple of weeks.

326
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: Have I slipped into a coma? When Tony Evers and

327
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Election Commission are actually following appropriate guidelines for

328
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: their respective positions and actually talking about the inherent limits

329
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: on their power. This is the same governor who used

330
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: his partial veto authority to raise all of our taxes

331
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: for the next four centuries and saw no constitutional problem

332
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: with that, and is saying, hey, you know, jeez, I

333
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: really don't think that we have the authority under the

334
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: constitution to stop Ice from doing this?

335
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 2: Or could there be a little bit more at play?

336
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: Could this be yet another example of Wisconsin's governor absolutely

337
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: trying to sabotage the gubernatorial candidacy of his lieutenant governor.

338
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: It's a distinct possibility, and we will get into that.

339
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: When the Dan o'donald show returns.

340
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: The same Libs who stand up for hispanics against the

341
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: evil Ice Gestapo ran a Hispanic woman out of a

342
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,959
Speaker 1: race in Walka Shaw simply because she's conservative. It's an

343
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: exclusive story that we will bring to you at about

344
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: four to twenty five here on the Dan o'donald Show.

345
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: Welcome back to It.

346
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: I can't stop laughing at Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers every

347
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: chance he gets undermining his own lieutenant governor's gubernatorial campaign,

348
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: and folks, that is exactly what's happening. Sarah Rodriguez came

349
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: out last night with a truly radical anti ICE plan

350
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: that would use state power to try to keep ICE

351
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: agents out of courthouses, schools, domestic violent shelters, hospitals, basically

352
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: anywhere and everywhere.

353
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: Do you know why?

354
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: ICE typically will try to make deportation arrests in courthouses

355
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: because the subject is unarmed, because they have to go

356
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: into a courtroom and they have to go through a

357
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: metal detector. These are often very dangerous confrontations, made all

358
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: the more dangerous in places like Minneapolis when you've got

359
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of left winger, pink haired crazies screeching at

360
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: them as they're trying to do their job and blowing

361
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: the whistles.

362
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: I find that endlessly hilarious too.

363
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: So Evers today was asked about Rodriguez's plat and just

364
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: dismissed it out of hand in the most brutal way possible.

365
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 4: You know, we can take a look at that, but

366
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 4: I think, you know, banning things will absolutely ramp up

367
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 4: the actions of our folks in Washington, DC. They don't,

368
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 4: they don't can't tend to approach those things appropriately, and

369
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 4: so we're very, very vigilant. I'm not sure that we

370
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 4: have the ability to do what the Lieutenant governor is

371
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: doing or want to do.

372
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 2: So we'll see, we'll see.

373
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 1: She's an idiot, she doesn't understand federalism. We can't actually

374
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: do anything that she wants to do. But you know

375
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: what else, Now, if this just existed in a vacuum,

376
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: it would be an interesting curiosity about the relationship between

377
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: Sarah Rodriguez and Tony Evers and their respective teams. But

378
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: it does not exist in a vacuum. You might remember,

379
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: way back in July, there was a certain radio host

380
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: who reported that it was almost certain that Governor Evers

381
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: the very next day was going to be announcing that

382
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: he wasn't running for a third term. Well, Evers spokesperson

383
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: taunted me when Evers did not announce that he was

384
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 1: retiring the next day.

385
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: In fact, she waited.

386
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: I said it was going to come between twenty four

387
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: and thirty six hours from when I first reported it.

388
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: And I said on the radio show that look, he's

389
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: not going to do it on a Friday. It's probably

390
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: going to be Thursday. It's going to be tomorrow. Well,

391
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: the spokesperson waited until the exact moment her name is Britt,

392
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: cut it back that thirty six hours had passed and

393
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: she said, well, looks like Dan O'Donnell is full of bleep.

394
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: And I said, okay, well whatever. Then I started getting word, Hey, Dan,

395
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: they actually moved back Governor Ever's announcement just to spite you.

396
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: This was proven when Lieutenant Governor Sarah Rodriguez went live

397
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: with her gubernatorial campaign a week after the initial start day.

398
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: The only problem her YouTube video was actually created the

399
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: original day that I said Evers was going to retire.

400
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: She was clearly told, hey, this is the day Evers

401
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: is going to retire. This caused so much friction between

402
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: cut Aback and Ever's whole team and Evers himself and

403
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: Rodriguez and her whole team that Evers and pretty much

404
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: everybody associated with him has despised her ever since. Case

405
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: in point, Evers refused to endorse her, and was even

406
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: asked on July twenty eighth whether he would endorse in

407
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: the race, and he said, yeah, you know what, if

408
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: someone comes along and is a good candidate and deserves

409
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: my endorsement, I'll totally endorse.

410
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 3: Yes.

411
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: So Rodriguez was already in the race and he didn't endorse.

412
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,239
Speaker 1: Take a listen to this.

413
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 4: The Lieutenant governor over the weekend told this she would

414
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 4: welcome your endorsement. I'm cure, are you going to endorse

415
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 4: in the Democratic primary now?

416
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: Probably not.

417
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 4: I tend to try to avoid that, so no, I'll

418
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 4: never say never. But I want to make sure who

419
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 4: the rest of the candidates are before I even made

420
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 4: that decisions. That's important thing. I tend to not get

421
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 4: involved with the primaries in general, and so it's probably

422
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 4: where I hope to be again. But at that by

423
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 4: then turn if there's somebody that really needs support and

424
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 4: I want them to win, I might get in.

425
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: In other words, if someone who's not named Sarah Rodriguez

426
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: gets in, I'll totally endorse, just so she doesn't win

427
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: the nomination, ouch ouch, And now you have got him

428
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: dismissing out of hand her proposal for dealing with the

429
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: most hot button issue in left wing circles today, how

430
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: to deal with ice. Now, make no mistake, Mandela Barnes

431
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: and Francesco Hong would have just as radical or far

432
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: more radical proposals than that. In fact, I'm actually surprised

433
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: that you haven't seen Francesco Hong out in the streets

434
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: launching Molotov cocktails at this point.

435
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: That's how radically left wing she is.

436
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 1: But Sarah Rodriguez sort of staked her path to the

437
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: nomination as being the more centrist alternative to Mandadbeat and

438
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: to Hong and to anyone else in the race. In fact,

439
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: she and David Crowley are probably going to represent the

440
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: middle ground. That they're going to be the more centrist candidates.

441
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: The only problem there are no centrist voters the Democrat

442
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: Party's base, the ones that you need to win a

443
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: nomination before you can even get into a general election

444
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: where the electorate tends to be far more moderate, and

445
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: you in turn have to moderate your positions. You need

446
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: to win the primary and the presidence of Hong, and

447
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: the presidence of Barnes and the presence of every other

448
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: left wing nut in this race is going to push

449
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: people like Rodriguez and people like David Crowley farther to

450
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: the left. This is going to be great news for

451
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: Tom Tiffany or Josh Showman, or whomever it is that

452
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: ends up winning the Republican nomination. It's going to be

453
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: one of those two guys. Showman just released some fundraising

454
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: numbers a million bucks. I believe Tom Tiffany has two

455
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: million dollars. I typically don't get too much into the

456
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: horse race aspect of this, but both guys would be

457
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: fantastic candidates, and they would be fantastic copy I I'm

458
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: going to be totally honest in the way I see

459
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: this race right now, and that is Tiffany has just

460
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: overwhelming support. The publicly released polls are all showing him

461
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: with a commanding lead. But I have been very complimentary

462
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: of Josh Showman. I believe in what figures to be

463
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: a at least historically speaking, pretty good Democrat here his candidacy.

464
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 1: He is the candidate profile that wins these races, that

465
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: provides the upset whoever the candidate is has got to

466
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: be licking their chomps at the leftward lurch of pretty

467
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: much every Democrat on the ICE issue. Democrats could stake

468
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: a moderate position on what's going on in Minneapolis and say, look,

469
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: the agent overreacted and we need to get to the

470
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: bottom of this. The agent needs to face justice and

471
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: a full and comprehensive investigation. Now, a full and comprehensive

472
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: investigation is going to show exactly what the evidence on

473
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: the ground that's publicly available clearly shows, and that the

474
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: agent was completely justified in his actions, that he had

475
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: a very reasonable belief that Renee Good was going to

476
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: run him over, and in fact, she did strike him

477
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: with her SUV shortly before an instant before he fired

478
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: two shots, one of which struck her in the head

479
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: and killed her. But they could stake that position and say, look,

480
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: this is why we need to have a better regulated

481
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: federal force for immigration enforcement. They're not doing that. They're

482
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: saying ICE is a terror organization and you people need

483
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: to get out in the streets and put your bodies

484
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: in harm's way to oppose them. That is a radical position.

485
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: How radical is it. How many deportations were there under

486
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: the Obama administration, just if you had to guess. Under

487
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: President Trump, in the first full year of his second term,

488
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: there have been approximately four hundred thousand deportations. It's estimated

489
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: that there are about eight hundred thousand voluntary deportations, and

490
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: that's a big reason why you have the big show

491
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: of force from ICE. The idea is to send the

492
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: message in illegal immigrant communities that if you don't voluntarily

493
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: self deport, and there is a fantastic policy attached to that,

494
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: that the Trump administration is actually giving you funds to

495
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: relocate back to your country of origin and then actually

496
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: giving you a something of a preferred status to sort

497
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: of apply for a green card. He's making it, They're

498
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: making it very enticing for illegals to self deport and

499
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: go back and try to do it again the right way.

500
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: The message is, if you don't take our very generous offer,

501
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: we are going to forcibly deport you and you will

502
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: never ever ever get back into this country. There were

503
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: three million deportations in the eight years of Barack Obama's term.

504
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: In fact, I can actually remember Democrats touting that fact

505
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: to try to counter the conservative narrative that Obama was

506
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: an open border's president, They would say, well, he's deported

507
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: three million illegal aliens. Don't you right wingers feel stupid

508
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: for saying he wants every illegal here in voting. He

509
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: did deport three million people, and there was not a

510
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: single riot in the streets over any of them. In fact,

511
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: Obama was throwing kids in cages, which Democrats decided they

512
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: didn't really care about until President Trump was in office

513
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: and they got the pictures of the cages that the

514
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: Obama administration built. We will name the unhinged liberal of

515
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: the day that's coming up in just a second when

516
00:34:53,440 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell Show returns. Wisconsin's Lieutenant Governor Sarah Rodriguez,

517
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: as a leading candidate for gubernatorial nomination for DEMS, has

518
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: responded to Governor Evers, her running mate last time around,

519
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: who basically.

520
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: Threw cold water all over her.

521
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: Anti ICE proposal, saying he didn't think that state authorities

522
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: actually had the power to do anything that Rodriguez was proposing,

523
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: like saying ICE is not allowed to do deportations, or

524
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: to take suspects into custody in churches and hospitals or

525
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: anything like that. Evers, of course, shockingly, is absolutely correct.

526
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: We have this little thing called federalism in this country,

527
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: and federal law enforcement is not barred by state mandates

528
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: from political actors. So Rodriguez has now responded to Evers

529
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: saying we don't have the authority to do what Rodriguez

530
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: is saying. She says, I respect where Governor Evers is

531
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 1: coming from, but for too long Democrats have dialed back

532
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: actions in Hope's President Trump doesn't escalate, and that's not

533
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: what happens. He always escalates. Other states are moving swiftly

534
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: to protect their citizens and their neighbors from federal overreach

535
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: in locations like daycare schools and courthouses, and Wisconsin Cannon

536
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: should do the same. Couple of problems with that. What

537
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 1: word did she use to describe the targets of Ice citizens?

538
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: What are targets of ice most assuredly not citizens? Also,

539
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: she doesn't bother to answer the actual substantive issue that

540
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: Evers raises with her plan, and that is that the

541
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: states do not have the power. We have this thing

542
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: called the Supremacy Clause in the United States Constitution that

543
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 1: says federal law, Trump's state law Constitution is the supreme

544
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: law the land. All laws pursuant to that i e.

545
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: Federal laws are the supreme laws of the land. You

546
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: cannot have a law, you cannot have a policy in

547
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: a state that directly contradicts federal law or federal policy.

548
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: Yet that is exactly what Sarah Rodriguez is proposing.

549
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 2: Time out a name. The unhinged liberal of the name

550
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: is dangerous because he's evil.

551
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: Where President Trump was visiting an auto plant in Michigan

552
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 1: today and some unhinged lib started screaming his head off

553
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: at the President.

554
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: Do you know what Trump did?

555
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: He smiled, he mouthed, bleep you, and actually flipped the

556
00:37:58,320 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: guy off.

557
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: I love this President.

558
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, that mouthy lib, your unhinged liberal of

559
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: the day. Coming up, we will have much more on

560
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: the president's visit to Michigan, including some big news that

561
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 1: he broke during a speech to supporters after visiting that plant.

562
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: Also an exclusive story Democrats in Walkeshaw chase an Hispanic

563
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: woman off the ballot because she is a traitor to

564
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: her people for being a conservative. Yes, really, you're listening

00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 5: the President touting his economic wins in his first trip

582
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 5: back to Michigan since winning the state en route to

583
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 5: a second term in office.

584
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 2: Now we after less than twelve months in office.

585
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 3: I'm back in Michigan to report to you on the

586
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 3: strongest and fastest economic turnaround in our country's history.

587
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 2: It's really been historical, has never been.

588
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 3: There's never been when we're not twelve months for through

589
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 3: eleven months, we've got eighteen trillion dollars being invested in

590
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: our country. The most of any country ever was three,

591
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 3: where at eighteen has never been anything like this.

592
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: The President touting the virtues of his tariffs and the

593
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: trade war he initiated, telling the crowd that was gathered

594
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: in Detroit that every single economist who predicted economic doom

595
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: has been wrong. Not only that, real wages for hard

596
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: working Americans like them are way off.

597
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: After real wages plummeted by three thousand dollars under Sleepy

598
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 3: Joe Biden, real wages are up by one thousand, three

599
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 3: hundred dollars in less than one year under President Trump.

600
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,959
Speaker 2: For construction workers, wages are.

601
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: Up eight hundred. Don't forget they would down three thousand

602
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 3: factory workers over two thousand dollars and for many other

603
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 3: workers over five thousand dollars. And I just gave the military,

604
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 3: as we're doing so well, we're taking so much money

605
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 3: with the tariffs, I just gave them seventeen seventy six.

606
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 3: You saw that, right, did you see that they had

607
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 3: seventy five? And I said, you know, if you had

608
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 3: one more dollars seventeen seventy six, He said, that was

609
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 3: a good idea. We could afford one more dollar we

610
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:12,240
Speaker 3: gave him seventeen seventy six. Meanwhile, grocery prices are starting

611
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 3: to go rapidly down. Rent is down, airfares are down,

612
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 3: hotel rates are down, cell phone prices are down, and

613
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 3: we're just getting started.

614
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: The President also talked about his proposal to cap credit

615
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: card interest rates at ten percent, as well as prohibit

616
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: big corporations from buying up single family homes and artificially

617
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: reducing the supply for families who might otherwise be able

618
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: to buy them. He also talked at length about fraud

619
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: being a major driver of the increases in prices that

620
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: Americans pay. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson earlier in the week

621
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: said that between five and ten percent of all federal

622
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:01,879
Speaker 1: outlays the total amount that the federal government spends each year,

623
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: is stolen through fraud. The President said his administration was

624
00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: redoubling its efforts to catch fraudsters.

625
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 2: And made a little bit of news.

626
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: He said that the states like Minnesota and cities like

627
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: Minneapolis that protect them and actively oppose immigration enforcement, so

628
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: called sanctuary states and sanctuary cities, will no longer get

629
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: a dime from the federal government.

630
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:29,320
Speaker 2: Juney, February.

631
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: First, we're not making any payments to sanctuary cities or

632
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 3: states having sanctuary cities, because they do everything possible to

633
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 3: protect criminals at the expense of American citizens, and it

634
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 3: breeds fraud and crime and all of the other problems

635
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 3: that comes. So we're not making any payment to anybody

636
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 3: that supports.

637
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: Sanctuaryyies, absolutely spectacular policy and long overdue. That Ladies and gentlemen,

638
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 1: your daily trump date. At the United States Supreme Court today,

639
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: the justices heard oral arguments on a pair of cases

640
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: that are tremendously important. The first is little the Heacox,

641
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: and it involves a case in Idaho. The state has

642
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: a law called the Women's Fairness in Sports Act, and

643
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: a woman by the name of Lindsey Heacox, I say

644
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: women loosely. She is transgender, and she challenged being barred

645
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: from women's track and cross country teams, initially in high

646
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: school and at the club level and then at Boise

647
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: State University. The state defends its ban on people like

648
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:49,760
Speaker 1: Heacocks protesting to protect rather fairness and safety and female sports.

649
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 1: The other case that has been merged with this one

650
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: is West Virginia.

651
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 2: The b p J.

652
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: West Virginia has something called the Save Women's Sports Act.

653
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: A transgender girl who identified as female since third grade

654
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: and has been on hormone therapy ever since, was barred

655
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 1: from competing on girls middle and high school track teams.

656
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: Both of these cases are very likely to result in

657
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: a broad based ruling by the Supreme Court allowing individual

658
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: states to say no biological males cannot compete on girls

659
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: sports teams. The absolute best justice on this issue, and

660
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: quite possibly best justice period now, we have had a

661
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: long term of dominance from Clarence Thomas as the absolute

662
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: best justice on the Supreme Court really since so. He

663
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: had a long period where he had Antonin Scalia tied

664
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,919
Speaker 1: every year in the Dan O'Donnell show Thankings of best

665
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 1: Supreme Court Justices. When Scalia died in twenty fifteen, Thomas

666
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: was far and away the best justice, the most grounded

667
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: in constitutional principles, the most aligned with founding principles, and

668
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: simply the best justice on the court. Sam Alito is

669
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: giving him a run for his money. Alito actually challenged

670
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: the attorney for one of the plaintiffs in this case,

671
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: one of the transgender girls, and said, hey, wait a second,

672
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: let's get down to foundational stuff here. In order to

673
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: ban somebody or in order to police girls in women's sports,

674
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: and in order to identify what girls and women's sports are,

675
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: you have to identify what a woman is.

676
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 2: Don't you? Would you believe the attorney had no answer.

677
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,240
Speaker 7: Let me go to some basics. Do you agree that

678
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 7: a school may have separate teams for a category of

679
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 7: students classified as boys in a category of students classified.

680
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 6: As girls, Yes, your honor.

681
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 7: If it does that, then is it not necessary for

682
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 7: there to be for equal protection purposes? If that is

683
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 7: challenged under the equal protection clause, an understanding of what

684
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 7: it means to be a boy or a girl or

685
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 7: a man oral woman?

686
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 6: Yes, your honor?

687
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 7: And what is that definition for equal protection purposes? What

688
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 7: does what does it mean to be a boy or

689
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 7: a girl, or a man or a woman?

690
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 6: Sorry, disenters to your question. I think that the underlying enactment,

691
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 6: whatever it was, the policy, the law, the would have

692
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 6: to we'd have to have an understanding of how the

693
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 6: state or the government was just understanding that term to

694
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 6: figure out whether or not someone was excluded. We do

695
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 6: not have a definition for the court.

696
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: That terms she's talking about is woman. We do not

697
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: have a definition of what a woman is.

698
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 2: Well.

699
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: Title nine absolutely does. Title nine of the Education Amendments

700
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: back in nineteen seventy two expressly prohibits discrimination on the

701
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: basis of sex in federally funded education programs. It explicitly

702
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: allows for sex separated sports teams where physical differences between

703
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 1: males and females make co ed competition unfair or unsafe.

704
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: That's pretty much all athletic competitions. Chess team doesn't really matter.

705
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: A boy is not going to, you know, seriously injure

706
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: a girl with a rook in a chess match. In

707
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: a wrestling match, that's problematic. Volleyball match problematic. The deeper

708
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:04,720
Speaker 1: issue at play here is equal protection. Under the fourteenth Amendment,

709
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 1: you are barred from discriminate as the government. You are

710
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: barred from discriminating against someone.

711
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 2: Based on sex.

712
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: There are three levels of scrutiny that a court can apply,

713
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: and I apologize if this gets too lawyer like or

714
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: esoteric or just too out there. Strict scrutiny is discrimination

715
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: on the basis of race, so you had better have

716
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:38,800
Speaker 1: a damn good reason if you are discriminating against people

717
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: on the basis of race. If there is a policy

718
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: that has racial differences, there needs to be an incredibly

719
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 1: compelling governmental interest. Laws that classify people based on sex

720
00:48:55,040 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: or gender receive intermediate scrutiny, So you need to have

721
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: a compelling governmental interest, and the law needs to be

722
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: substantially related to achieving that interest.

723
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 2: Well.

724
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: The fairness and safety of sports for biological females clearly

725
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: is a compelling governmental interest. The government has a vested

726
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: interest in making sure that at state sponsored like say

727
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: here in Wisconsin, the WIAA governs all high school athletic competitions.

728
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: The government of Wisconsin therefore has a vested and compelling

729
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: interest in making sure that the people who compete in

730
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: those sanctioned events are safe. If you have got a

731
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: boy competing on the girls soccer team and is just

732
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: running them over and injuring them, the state can craft

733
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: a policy that sub jet to intermediate scrutiny by the courts,

734
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: that protects women and girls in sports that keeps boys

735
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: out because it's simply not safe. There is also a

736
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: compelling interest in a sport where girls wouldn't be directly

737
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: in physical danger if boys are competing against them, say powerlifting,

738
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: boys have biological males have such a clear advantage in

739
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: muscle tone, in just the size of their bodies, in

740
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:37,479
Speaker 1: all of it that the WIAA i e. The State

741
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin has a compelling interest in protecting the opportunities

742
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: that women would have, that girls would have in competing

743
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: in those sports to be able to win, because winning

744
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: athletic competitions in high school leads to opportunities for collegiate

745
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: scholarships to go on to compete at higher level. If

746
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,760
Speaker 1: all of a sudden a bunch of boys are coming

747
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: in and dominating the girls' powerlifting competitions, there are no

748
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 1: opportunities for girls to get those scholarships because the boys

749
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 1: will have taken all of them from them. Alito once

750
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: again proves what an incredible justice he is by creating

751
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: a hypothetical which isn't really a hypothetical that once again

752
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: the plaintiffs for these transgender girls, these attorneys are unable

753
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: to answer.

754
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:35,439
Speaker 7: Take a list all that has a boys, let's say,

755
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:42,760
Speaker 7: track team and a girls track team at the school,

756
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 7: has that and a student who has the genes and

757
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 7: the reproductive system of a male and had those at

758
00:51:54,560 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 7: birth and has never taken puberty blockers, never taken female hormones,

759
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:11,439
Speaker 7: never had any gender altering or affirming surgery, says nevertheless,

760
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 7: I am a woman. That's who I am. Can the

761
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 7: school say no, you cannot participate on the girl's team.

762
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 6: Sorry, So you're just a birth sex male who has

763
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 6: all the advantages of sex male hormones and can the

764
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 6: school barrow him from the women's team?

765
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 7: Yes, they can, But that person is that person not

766
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 7: a woman in your understanding? The person says, I sincerely

767
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 7: believe I a woman. I am, in fact woman. I

768
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 7: think that a person not a woman.

769
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 6: I would respect their self identity in addressing the person.

770
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 6: But in terms of the statute, I think the question

771
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 6: is does that person have a sex based biological advantage

772
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 6: that's going to make it unfair for that person to

773
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 6: be part of the women's team, and that that's the

774
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,320
Speaker 6: rationale for the regulation, And so that's the way we

775
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 6: would be testing that hypo.

776
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 7: The reason I'm asking has to do with discrimination on

777
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,360
Speaker 7: the basis of transgender status. So what you seem to

778
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 7: be saying is, yes, it is permissible for the school

779
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 7: to discriminate on the basis of transgender status, because if

780
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 7: this person is a transwoman, a trans girl, and is

781
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 7: barred from the team, from the girls team, then that

782
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:25,760
Speaker 7: person is being subjected to differential treatment based on transgender status.

783
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 6: Right, Well, that would be Then the question would be

784
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 6: whether it was the scrutiny would be satisfied. So from

785
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 6: our perspective, that would be a transgender classification.

786
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:38,760
Speaker 1: Here, I'm going to do a quick audio impression. All right,

787
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 1: this is sam Alito to every single argument for boys

788
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: and girls' sports.

789
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 2: You ready told you he was the best justice on

790
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 2: the court.

791
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: If I, as a biological male who identifies as a

792
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: biological male, want to play, and let's say I occasionally

793
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,439
Speaker 1: fill in for some friends, perhaps foolishly playing on their

794
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 1: adult league soccer team. One thing I was ever actually

795
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 1: good at in soccer was being able to run faster

796
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: than people. I had no discernible skill whatsoever, but I

797
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 1: was fast. Guess what I'm not anymore fast. I'm a

798
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: biological male. I make no pretense about identifying as a male.

799
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: I am harry, I am sweaty, I am smelly.

800
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 2: I am a male.

801
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 1: Would I be able to be legally barred from signing

802
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: up from the girls bar league team and playing against

803
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of women. Of course I would, Well, what

804
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: happens if I say, okay, I'm a woman now, never

805
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: taken any hormones, never done anything. I just put on

806
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,719
Speaker 1: a wig, put on a sports bra, put on some

807
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:13,720
Speaker 1: pink shin guards, and say I'm a woman. I want

808
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: to go play in the women's league. Is there any

809
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: fundamental difference between the person Dan O'Donnell saying he is

810
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 1: a woman or saying he is met? There is not,

811
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: And Alito just destroyed every single argument. The argument basically

812
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: comes down to, well, if the man says he's a woman,

813
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: we have to believe he's a woman, and the state

814
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: needs to allow him to compete against other women. If

815
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: he doesn't say he's a woman, then the state can

816
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:56,239
Speaker 1: bar him from competing against other women. Absolutely brilliant from

817
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: justice Alito. Coming up next to Dan O'Donnell's show exclusive,

818
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: Liberals in Wauka Shaw chase a Hispanic woman out of

819
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: a race. We move now to a Dan O'Donnell show exclusive.

820
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 1: Maria Correo, a Wauka Shaw school board candidate, has been

821
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: forced from the race because of widespread, for lack of

822
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 1: a better word, bigotry against her by liberals in the community.

823
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:38,240
Speaker 1: Correo is a conservative online and really across the city.

824
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:42,760
Speaker 1: Left wingers have been calling her, to quote one leader

825
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:47,360
Speaker 1: of the opposition against her, a quote, disappointment for the

826
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:53,880
Speaker 1: Hispanic community. They filed an ethics complaint against her, alleging

827
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: that she had a conflict of interest because she is

828
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: currently employed at La Casa de Speranza, that is, a

829
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:10,879
Speaker 1: charter school. Coreo says she's done nothing wrong, says her

830
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: role doesn't influence the school, its enrollment, anything like that.

831
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: Guess what, She's absolutely right. According to state law, working

832
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 1: at a choice school does not, under any circumstances, present

833
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: a conflict of interest for a school board member. She

834
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: would of course need to recuse herself from any decisions

835
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 1: involving the charter school involving La Casa de Esperanza, which

836
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: she would absolutely do. Are teachers at public schools barred

837
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: from being school board members? There are very few, in

838
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: fact rules on who may or may not be a

839
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: school board member. Now Correo has faced unbelievable opposition, so

840
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: much so that she eventually decided, once this ethics complaint

841
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: was filed, that she didn't want to go through with

842
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: all of the trouble, and this is a big thing

843
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 1: that left wingers do to local candidates, and it's a

844
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: big reason why we hear at the Dan O'Donnell show,

845
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 1: are again going to be doing better know a candidate,

846
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 1: and we are redoubling our efforts to support people like

847
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: Maria Correo and other Conservatives who are running for Waukeshaw

848
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: school board or any other school board, village board, any

849
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: other position across the state, because so many Conservatives are

850
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: either bullied out of races like Correo was, or they

851
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: don't run because they know the sort of harassment meant

852
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: that they will face. In fact, Koreo and another conservative

853
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: candidate who homeschools his children have been attacked in the

854
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: liberal community in Waukeshaw as quote not real parents because

855
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: theirs kids don't go to public school in waalkesh Now,

856
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 1: as you know, tensions are running very, very high because

857
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: of a school closure vote that the school board took,

858
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 1: the very difficult vote. Nobody wants to close down schools,

859
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: but the suddenly conservative school board. Remember, Walkshaw was one

860
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: of the most egregious liberal school boards well in the

861
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 1: Moms for Liberty post COVID era that we went through.

862
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: We had conservatives in that community take the board back.

863
00:59:54,160 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: They elected some great conservatives, and Waukeshaw actual understands the

864
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: reality of declining enrollment. They cannot support or justify or

865
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: ask their taxpayers to continue to fund increasingly empty schools.

866
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: They needed to consolidate. It's terrible, it's awful. No one

867
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:22,480
Speaker 1: wants to do it. It is a reality. Maria Corrio

868
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: wanted to be a part of that, but because the

869
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 1: left determined that she was a disappointment for the Hispanic community,

870
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: they made up a legal standard to file with the

871
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Ethics Commission that she somehow was not able to

872
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: be a part of this because she works at a

873
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: nonprofit that has a charter school. Really, they hate the

874
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 1: fact that she has a charter school. They hate the

875
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: fact especially she has a charter school for primarily Hispanic kids.

876
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: The left wing education is bablishment in this state and

877
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: across the country, despises charter schools, especially for black and

878
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: Hispanic students, because it has the tendency to show black

879
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 1: and Hispanic parents that the predominantly white educational bureaucrats who

880
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: have been in charge of their kids' education have been

881
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: failing them egregiously for years and years and years. It

882
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 1: tends to show them that there is a better way forward.

883
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 1: But here's the icing on the cake that is the

884
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: delicious irony of this story. There is a liberal by

885
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: the name of Diane Voight who is also on the

886
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: ballot this spring running for reelection as a Wauka Shaw

887
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 1: School board member. Now remember liberals in Waukeshaw wanted Maria

888
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: Correo off the ballot because she supposedly had a conflict

889
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 1: of interest. Diane Voight voted to fire the rainbow Land teacher.

890
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: Remember the rainbow Land controversy, the what was it? First

891
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: grade kindergarten teacher who was fired for teaching very obviously

892
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 1: extra curricular lessons about gay pride in the classroom. She

893
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 1: had the kids sing rainbow Land. She was an activist.

894
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 1: Diane Voight voted to fire this woman. She voted with

895
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: the board that the teacher needs to be fired. She

896
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 1: then gave to the teachers go fund me to raise

897
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: funds to sue the Waukeshaw School District. So Diane Voight

898
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: was supporting the effort to sue the board and the district.

899
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: That Diane Voight was elected to represent. That is about

900
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 1: the most egregious conflict of interest that one could imagine.

901
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 1: Voight supports this teacher to sue the school district that

902
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: she is elected by the taxpayers to represent and to

903
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: protect the interests of Do you think that supporting the

904
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 1: effort to sue the school district is protecting the taxpayers

905
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 1: on behalf of the school district? It most certainly is not.

906
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 1: That's a conflict of interest, no ethics complaint against Diane Voight.

907
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: But because Maria Corrio dares to be Hispanic and dares

908
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: to step out of line by espousing conservative beliefs and

909
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 1: dares to try to run up against the educational establishment

910
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: in Waukeshaw, the left wing mob chases her off the ballot.

911
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely sickening behavior. Personally, I wish Korea would have stayed

912
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: and fought, but I don't necessarily disagree with her decision

913
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: to just be done with these crazies. Wisconsin's State Assembly

914
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 1: passed a couple of bills today, one semi controversial. At

915
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 1: least if you are a lib, the state may no

916
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: longer give race based preferences. It may no longer discriminate

917
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: on the basis of race. It makes hiring admissions or

918
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: contract decisions on the basis of skin color or sex discrimination,

919
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: which it always was, that passes the Assembly. Here's another

920
01:04:54,880 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 1: one that should be as uncontroversial as humanly possible, making

921
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: grooming a crime. Not grooming like a dog, but grooming

922
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: a child. Would you believe six Democrats actually voted no

923
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: on this. It passed ninety three to six, voting no.

924
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: Socialists Ryan Clancy, Francesco Honk, and Darren Madison, joined by

925
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: two others Cruz and Phelps, actually three others and Tenorio.

926
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: The Socialist caucus apparently wants to be able to groom kids. Now,

927
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:47,200
Speaker 1: if I were a Democrat, if I were a LIB,

928
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: I would say, just like Democrats have been saying about

929
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:56,240
Speaker 1: President Trump, well he's probably a pedophile. Now what if

930
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: I were to go on the air and say, Francesco Honk,

931
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 1: she clearly is not. I hope there's no evidence that

932
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: she has done anything untoward. Same thing with Ryan Clancy. They,

933
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 1: for reasons known only to God or possibly the ghost

934
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: of Vladimir Lenin, they don't think that grooming should be

935
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: a crime using democratic using the exact same language that

936
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: people like them and their supporters use. Should everybody be

937
01:06:37,200 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 1: in their social media mentions calling them a pedophile, because

938
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 1: that's what they've been doing with President Trump and his supporters,

939
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 1: myself included, for the better part of seven months. Now,

940
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: good news coming out of the Wisconsin Assembly. I believe

941
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 1: the state Senate is going to pass both of those

942
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: bills as well, where they will be, of course, immediately

943
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: vetoed by Governor Rivers. Actually on the grooming bill, I

944
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 1: don't know if Governor Evers will veto that because the

945
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 1: overwhelming majority of Democrats actually did do the same thing

946
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 1: and vote for group. I mean, look, if if I

947
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 1: were a reporter who actually was able to get people

948
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: like Ryan Clancy and Francesco Hong to answer my questions. Hong,

949
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 1: especially since she's running for governor and according to publicly

950
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 1: available polling she's running like third, I would ask her

951
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: for her position on grooming. Representative Hong, why don't you

952
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 1: believe grooming is a crime? Real simple question, which of

953
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 1: course she will likely never be asked. Okay, I just realized, folks,

954
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 1: don't kill me here. I did not give you the

955
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: four o'clock word in the cold hard cash contest. Yet

956

957
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: oversight on my part. I am not intending to go

958
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: forty five minutes without giving you the word, because I

959
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: know all of the brilliant, eloquent points that I make

960
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:19,799
Speaker 1: are merely filler between your chances to win one thousand bucks.

961
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 2: Complete oversite. Second day of the contest, I will do better.

01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: dollars in fact, in cash. Some sad news to pass

971
01:08:56,160 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 1: along today, Dilbert creator and conservative icon Scott Adams has

972
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: passed away. He had been battling cancer for quite some time.

973
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: He was sixty eight years old. He had drawn the

974
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: Dilbert comic strip, which satirized office life since nineteen eighty nine.

975
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 1: Passed away at his home in northern California after metastatic

976
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: prostate cancer spread to his bones following a stage four

977
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 1: diagnosis announced in May.

978
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 2: His ex wife.

979
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:37,840
Speaker 1: Confirmed the news on his Real Coffee with Scott Adams podcast,

980
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: reading a letter from January first, where he accepted Jesus

981
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:45,759
Speaker 1: Christ as his Lord and savior based on a risk

982
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: reward calculation that's known as Pascal's wager.

983
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:51,719
Speaker 2: The mathematician blazed.

984
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 1: Pascal said it is if you're a betting man, it

985
01:09:55,720 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 1: is smart to bet on the existence of God, because

986
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: if you're wrong, you don't lose anything.

987
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 2: You're just sort of dead.

988
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: But if you bet that God doesn't exist, you don't

989
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 1: accept Jesus as your Lord and savior, well, the consequences

990
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:16,679
Speaker 1: could be really bad. If Jesus is saying, hey, Brah,

991
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 1: what's the deal. You're not getting past these pearly gates. Actually,

992
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 1: it's not totally like that. As a very simplistic explanation

993
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 1: of Pascal's wager, but that's what Adams did. He authored

994
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 1: books such as How to Fail at Almost Everything and

995
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: Still Win big. His podcasting was a late career move

996
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: that really opened him to a new generation of fans,

997
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,679
Speaker 1: and in that letter he urged his fans to pay

998
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:54,799
Speaker 1: forward any benefits from his work. Tributes have been pouring

999
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 1: in all day long from the White House, President Trump,

1000
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 1: Vice President Vance Elon m across the conservative sphere. Of course,

1001
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 1: of course, what is he remembered for in the mainstream press,

1002
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 1: not his decades of I'll admit I was when Dilbert

1003
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: came out. I was a kid, so I didn't get

1004
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 1: any I was a big fan of like Garfield, it

1005
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: was another big comic. Strap Family Circle was big when

1006
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: I was a kid. Oh, Calvin and Hobbes was Matt.

1007
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 1: I thought Calvin and Hobbes was absolutely brilliant. Let's see Peanuts. Yeah,

1008
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:39,840
Speaker 1: Peanuts was still going strong when I was a kid,

1009
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: and the Green Sheet was at the Sentinel or the Journal.

1010
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: The Journal had the Green Sheet, and I think they

1011
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: brought it back. I have not read a physical copy

1012
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 1: of a newspaper in a long long time, so I

1013
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: have no idea. Later on, when I was a teenager,

1014
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 1: the comic Zitz came out, which I thought was hilarious.

1015
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 1: It was a pitch perfect satire of being a parent

1016
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 1: of a teenage boy. That was like her all time

1017
01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 1: favorite comic because she had three teenage boys, so go

1018
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,200
Speaker 1: figure And no, Dilbert was a little bit was a

1019
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 1: little bit older than me. I just I never really

1020
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: got into it. It was, you know, it's good, Oh Farside.

1021
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: Gary Larson's Far Side I thought was just absolutely beyond brilliant.

1022
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:25,600
Speaker 1: I guess he is doing new strips. At least he

1023
01:12:25,800 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: was for a while at the Far Side site back

1024
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 1: in the day. The Far Side, Oh, absolute brilliance. What

1025
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 1: was what was the one for Better or for Worse?

1026
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 1: That was another one that was about family life.

1027
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 2: What's that? Oh you said?

1028
01:12:42,479 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 1: For Better or for Worst? Producer Eric was a big

1029
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 1: fan of For Better or for Worse? They actually they

1030
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: the creator did something rather remarkable. He reached sort of

1031
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 1: the end of the story he told with the family,

1032
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: and then he started all over like the kids who

1033
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: had grown up, Like he actually aged characters in Zits

1034
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:06,679
Speaker 1: and in Garfield the characters never aged, but Garfield would

1035
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: be on like his eighteenth life right now if they did.

1036
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: I think Jim Davis started that strip in like nineteen

1037
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 1: seventy eight, but he actually went back in time and

1038
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:18,679
Speaker 1: started it all over again. So the kids that grew

1039
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 1: up and had kids of their own were back to

1040
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 1: being like seven eight years old. The parents who grew

1041
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 1: up and you know, retired and all of that, they

1042
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 1: were back to being in their thirties and forties.

1043
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:30,480
Speaker 2: It really remarkable.

1044
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 1: Actually, the mainstream media, of course, is focusing on just

1045
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 1: the controversy that got Scott Adams canceled everywhere.

1046
01:13:45,200 --> 01:13:49,799
Speaker 2: Admittedly, what he said was not great.

1047
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:53,719
Speaker 1: He was talking about a poll where it was something

1048
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 1: like fifty percent of black people said they hated white

1049
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 1: pants something like that, and it was just say, it was.

1050
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:00,759
Speaker 2: Some awful poll.

1051
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 1: And he gets on his podcast and says, white people

1052
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:09,480
Speaker 1: need to get the hell away from black people. Ah,

1053
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: kind of racist, Scott. He said, with numbers like this,

1054
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: black people constitute a hate group.

1055
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 2: Scott, not the thing you want to say.

1056
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: But what was remarkable about him is that he perfectly

1057
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: accepted it. He said, look, I can remember when this

1058
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 1: controversy went down a few years back. He said, look

1059
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,839
Speaker 1: my syndicator at every within a couple of days, every

1060
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: single newspaper that carried my comic strip is going to

1061
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:41,720
Speaker 1: drop me. I am going to be canceled. This is

1062
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:44,680
Speaker 1: the consequence of what I said. And he accepted it.

1063
01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: Didn't whine, didn't, you know, just accepted the consequences of

1064
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,439
Speaker 1: what he said, which was.

1065
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:54,640
Speaker 2: Kind of remarkable.

1066
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: He had a unique take on life and a Uni

1067
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,680
Speaker 1: week philosophy that will absolutely be missed. You're listening to

1068
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell Show. It is conservative thought, not just talk.

1069
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: We are going to bump the Unsung Hero of the

1070
01:15:14,280 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: Day to the top of the five o'clock hour because

1071
01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: we've only got about a minute and a half left

1072
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: in the four o'clock hour. It's a great story about

1073
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 1: a local business owner going very far above and beyond

1074
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: the call of duty.

1075
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 2: For one of her customers.

1076
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,839
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that I give this story

1077
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 1: the attention it deserves and highlight the unsung hero of

1078
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 1: the day, So be sure to be listening to that.

1079
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 2: Right after the top of the hour.

1080
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 1: We had a lot of texts coming in people talking

1081
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 1: about after Dilbert creator and conservative influencer Scott Adams passed

1082
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 1: away today after a battle with cancer. He was sixty

1083
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 1: eight years old. People were talking about their favorite comics

1084
01:15:58,240 --> 01:16:02,720
Speaker 1: from back in the day. Neetle Bailey got mentioned by

1085
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 1: a number. See that was one that was a little

1086
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 1: before my had Beatle Bailey, Dennis the Menace, those were

1087
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: a little before my time. I watched the Dennis the

1088
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:14,440

1111
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 1: someone hopefully in our local community, but somewhere, someone somewhere

1112
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: in the world doing good. It's sort of a companion

1113
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: piece that we started this year to our Unhinged Liberal

1114
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:50,320
Speaker 1: of the Day, which we've been doing for my goodness,

1115
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:55,839
Speaker 1: almost a decade now. I thought I thought the Libs

1116
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,759
Speaker 1: would give it a break after Trump left office.

1117
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:00,639
Speaker 2: Do you realize we are.

1118
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 1: Still using the same opening theme song to the Unhinged

1119
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 1: Liberal of the Day, with the same soundbites of people

1120
01:18:08,120 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: saying Trump is hitler, Trump is dangerous because he's evil.

1121
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,679
Speaker 2: They never gave it up. I thought for sure, for

1122
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 2: sure they'd get less.

1123
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 1: Crazy when Trump was out of office, when Biden won

1124
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: the presidency.

1125
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 2: No, if anything, they got crazier.

1126
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: So we decided this year, you know what we're gonna

1127
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:31,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna focus on the positive. We're gonna highlight people everyday,

1128
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:37,600
Speaker 1: people who just do really cool things. I wanted to

1129
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,640
Speaker 1: make sure we got to this story because it is

1130
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,600
Speaker 1: very cool. It comes to us from a listener. It

1131
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:47,200
Speaker 1: is his nomination for the Unsung hero.

1132
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:47,720
Speaker 3: Of the.

1133
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,640
Speaker 2: Today's Unsung Hero.

1134
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 1: Of the Day is thought she is the owner of

1135
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 1: the Bamboo Restaurant in Grafton. This email comes to me

1136
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 1: from Tom Ingrafton, who writes Dan, my wife and I

1137
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 1: visited the Bamboo Bistro on Sunday, and as always, the

1138
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 1: meal was delicious and the service was impeccable.

1139
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 2: We took our leftovers home and called it a night.

1140
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:22,640
Speaker 1: The next day, while I was at work and my

1141
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: wife was at home, our ring camera alerted us to

1142
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: some activity. I saw a car pull up to our garage,

1143
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: and thinking what was an Amazon delivery, I kept watching.

1144
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 1: To my surprise, a woman got out of the car

1145
01:19:36,439 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: and approached our front door. She knocked a couple of times,

1146
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 1: but my wife didn't hear her. After waiting a bit,

1147
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:45,679
Speaker 1: she returned to her car, but then got out again

1148
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 1: and left something.

1149
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:48,000
Speaker 2: Near our garage.

1150
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 1: Intrigued, I called my wife and asked if she had

1151
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:55,120
Speaker 1: heard anything, which she hadn't. Curious, she went outside to investigate.

1152
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 1: What she found was a note and her wallet personally

1153
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 1: delivered by Thi, the owner of the Bamboo Bistro. It

1154
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: must have fallen out of her purse at the restaurant.

1155
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 1: The previous evening, and since she hadn't run any errands,

1156
01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:12,599
Speaker 1: she hadn't even realized that it was missing. Toy had

1157
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:16,679
Speaker 1: driven about half an hour to our house to return

1158
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:20,439
Speaker 1: the wallet, an act of kindness and customer service that

1159
01:20:20,560 --> 01:20:24,640
Speaker 1: left us deeply touched. The experience has undoubtedly made us

1160
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 1: loyal customers for the future. I thought this might be

1161
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 1: a great story for you to share. I've also attached

1162
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 1: a photo of the note Thy left with the wallet.

1163
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 2: It is very.

1164
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: Cute, she writes, and I'm gonna have to strain to

1165
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:45,759
Speaker 1: see this with my bad eyes. It says, good morning,

1166
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm Thy, the owner of Bamboo Bistro. I stopped by

1167
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 1: this morning and dropped off your wallet you forgot last night.

1168
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:58,800
Speaker 1: Thank you, please come back to eat again. That comes

1169
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 1: from Tom and Grafted, who says absolutely he will be

1170
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: back to eat again. And Thoi the owner of Bamboo Bistro,

1171
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 1: isn't just our unsung hero of the day. I want

1172
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 1: you members of Dan Nation to repay her kindness because

1173
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: this was a true act of kindness, not just holding

1174
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: onto the wallet, which would be cool, you know, until

1175
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 1: the next time the couple comes back and maybe it

1176
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 1: gets back to him.

1177
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 2: Maybe it doesn't, But.

1178
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: To drive a half hour to return the wallet to

1179
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 1: a loyal customer or any customer, that's just spectacular. So

1180
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 1: I am calling on members of DAN Nation to show

1181
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:49,960
Speaker 1: up at Bamboo Bistro, get a dinner, get a lunch,

1182
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:54,160
Speaker 1: support this local business because it is owned by a

1183
01:21:54,200 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 1: person who is truly worthy of your business. Thy way

1184
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:03,360
Speaker 1: to do the right thing. You are our unsung hero

1185
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 1: of the day. That's just a cool story. I'm sorry,

1186
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: that is just a very very She gets in her

1187
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 1: car and drives all the way to this couple's house.

1188
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,760
Speaker 1: I have a text. How did she know where they lived?

1189
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, I love you. How do you think

1190
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 1: she knew where they? Yes, the driver's license. The address

1191
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:32,719
Speaker 1: was printed on Tom's wife's driver's license, and she dropped

1192
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 1: off the.

1193
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,599
Speaker 2: Wallet. I'll tell you if I.

1194
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 1: Live nowhere near graft In the station is nowhere near

1195
01:22:40,360 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 1: grafted The next time I am in Grafton, I hope

1196
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,799
Speaker 1: I remember. But if you are in or around Grafton,

1197
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if they're open tonight because a lot

1198
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 1: of restaurants are closed. Oh wait, no, tonight's Tuesday. For

1199
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 1: some reason, I thought it was Monday. A lot of

1200
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 1: restaurants are closed Tuesday, though sometimes they'll just have a

1201
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 1: random night off. One of my favorite restaurants is not

1202
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 1: closed on Monday, but rather Tuesday day night, and I

1203
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: always forget about that. If like the kids and my

1204
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 1: wife are at Violin or something like that, I'm on

1205
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 1: my own. I'm like, I'm just gonna head out there.

1206
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 2: Oh now it's Tuesday, dog gone it. I don't know.

1207
01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: I assume they're open tonight, but head out too. I

1208
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 1: already forgot the name Bamboo Bistro. I want to call

1209
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 1: it Bamboo Garden. Bamboo. Oh it's closed tonight and tomorrow. Okay,

1210
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: according to Google, they're closed tonight and tomorrow, but reopen

1211
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 1: Thursday night. All right, Dan Nation, you know what to

1212
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:38,840
Speaker 1: do Thursday night. I wanted to be a full house

1213
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:43,879
Speaker 1: at Bamboo Bistro all weekend long. Support this local business

1214
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:47,599
Speaker 1: because the owner supports the people of Crafton cold hard

1215
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 1: cash contest time.

1216
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 2: The word this hour is friend, fr I, E and D. Friend.

1217
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:58,679
Speaker 1: You've got a friend here at the Dan O'Donnell Show

1218
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 1: because we are giving you a chance to win one

1219
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:03,800
Speaker 1: thousand dollars instantly just by going to our website and

1220
01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 1: entering the keyword friend.

1221
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:06,639
Speaker 2: If your entry has.

1222
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 1: Picked that random, you win a thousand bucks. Yes for

1223
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: those texting and emailing. We apparently did get a new

1224
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:17,839
Speaker 1: list of words this year. I do not recall friend

1225
01:24:18,560 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 1: being in there. Last year we used to have just

1226
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: like random words. It'd be like text the word clock,

1227
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:31,360
Speaker 1: text the word root abega what. I don't even know

1228
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: how to spell that. So we sort of synthesized our

1229
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:40,719
Speaker 1: We condensed our list of words down to like cash,

1230
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 1: money bank credit. For the music festival flyaway contest, it

1231
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 1: would be like festival music song twerk.

1232
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:52,479
Speaker 2: No I made that last one up.

1233
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 1: But we have apparently some new words like last hour

1234
01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 1: was credit. That's an old favorite. Bonus is always.

1235
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 2: Friend, friend, all right friend.

1236
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 1: Governor Evers is no friend to taxpayers here in Wisconsin,

1237
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 1: but now he wants the state legislature to make up

1238
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 1: for his egregious blunder. This is the story from the

1239
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. As homeowners field surging property tax bills,

1240
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 1: Democratic Governor Tony Evers is asking the Republican led legislature

1241
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:40,719
Speaker 1: to revisit a proposal from his most recent state budget

1242
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:41,799
Speaker 1: to provide one.

1243
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,799
Speaker 2: Point three billion dollars in relief.

1244
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:49,959
Speaker 1: Republican legislative leaders have also said they'd like to alleviate

1245
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's property tax burden, and argue Evers is to blame

1246
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 1: for using his powerful partial veto authority in the twenty

1247
01:25:58,439 --> 01:26:01,799
Speaker 1: twenty three to twenty twenty five state budget to extend

1248
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:05,559
Speaker 1: for four hundred years an annual three hundred and twenty

1249
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 1: five dollars per pupil funding increase for school districts by

1250
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 1: adding to state imposed revenue limits. As only the Milwaukee

1251
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:20,759
Speaker 1: Journal Sentinel can this is the third paragraph. Property taxes

1252
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:24,639
Speaker 1: ballooned this year in part because the most recent state budget,

1253
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 1: passed by Republican lawmakers and signed into law by Evers,

1254
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 1: did not add any new funding for general school aids,

1255
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 1: a school funding increase that would have lowered the burden

1256
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 1: on property tax payers.

1257
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:39,799
Speaker 2: Give me a break.

1258
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: Do you know why there wasn't an increase in general

1259
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:55,440
Speaker 1: school aids? Just take a wild gas because the population

1260
01:26:55,760 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 1: of K twelve students in Wisconsin's public schools keeps going down.

1261
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: In fact, in the last twenty five years, we are

1262
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:15,640
Speaker 1: down an estimated one hundred and twenty thousand students, according

1263
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 1: to national figures for the two thousand, two thousand and

1264
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:25,599
Speaker 1: one school year, total public school enrollment was eight hundred

1265
01:27:25,600 --> 01:27:30,840
Speaker 1: and seventy nine thousand, four hundred seventy six kids in

1266
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five twenty twenty six. Quarter century later, according

1267
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:40,639
Speaker 1: to preliminary data from the Department of Public Instruction, there

1268
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 1: are currently seven hundred and fifty nine thousand, eight hundred students.

1269
01:27:45,920 --> 01:27:50,679
Speaker 1: So in twenty five years, the student population has gone down. Now,

1270
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 1: what do you suppose has happened to per pupil funding

1271
01:27:56,760 --> 01:28:01,599
Speaker 1: in the state budget. It's more than doubled. In two thousand,

1272
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 1: we were paying between eight and nine thousand dollars per

1273
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 1: student in the state of Wisconsin K twelve system. The

1274
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 1: last most recent year for which data is available. I

1275
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 1: believe this is twenty four to twenty five school year

1276
01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand, five hundred and ninety two dollars per kid.

1277
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 1: We are paying tons more money to educate far fewer students.

1278
01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 1: You want to know why the number the total funding

1279
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:39,080
Speaker 1: in state AIDS has gone down Because the number of

1280
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:40,439
Speaker 1: students has gone down.

1281
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 2: You know what.

1282
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:44,439
Speaker 1: Hasn't gone down the number of teachers, the number of

1283
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:48,880
Speaker 1: educational bureaucrats. In fact, I dare say the number of

1284
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:54,440
Speaker 1: vice principles per school and the number of education coordinators

1285
01:28:54,479 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 1: per district has increased dramatically. Governor Evers is solely responsible

1286
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: for the dramatic increase in property tax Actually, I take

1287
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:12,360
Speaker 1: that back, Governor Evers as well as the left wing

1288
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:17,599
Speaker 1: school board members and superintendents who saw the opportunity to

1289
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 1: increase funding per pupil because of Governor Evers partial veto

1290
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:26,600
Speaker 1: and took it.

1291
01:29:28,720 --> 01:29:30,439
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you know it?

1292
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:34,640
Speaker 1: It is in the most left leaning school districts that

1293
01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 1: property taxes increase the most dramatically. Why because not only

1294
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:45,680
Speaker 1: have those districts been going to referendum nearly constantly, and

1295
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:48,320
Speaker 1: we are told, oh, well, it's because the state isn't

1296
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:51,720
Speaker 1: funding K twelve education nearly enough that these districts need to.

1297
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:52,400
Speaker 2: Go to referendum.

1298
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:54,559
Speaker 1: Okay, how do you explain the fact that there are

1299
01:29:54,600 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 1: school districts in very conservative communities that don't go to referendum. Ever,

1300
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:06,599
Speaker 1: the New Berlin School District built an entirely new high

1301
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 1: school for goodness sakes and a field house without going

1302
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 1: to referendum. How does that happen because they're fiscally responsible?

1303
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:22,559
Speaker 1: How is it that West Dallas West Milwaukee goes to

1304
01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:28,439
Speaker 1: referendum constantly to fix fiscal mismanagement in the extreme, How

1305
01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:32,800
Speaker 1: is it that the Milwaukee Public Schools School District goes

1306
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:36,000
Speaker 1: to referendum for a quarter of a billion dollars without

1307
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:39,680
Speaker 1: ever accounting to the state. How it's spent nearly a

1308
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:43,719
Speaker 1: billion dollars in COVID relief. And let's not forget ladies

1309
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:48,280
Speaker 1: and gentlemen that, as the Everrs administration and Democrats and

1310
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:53,320
Speaker 1: their mouthpieces at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel conveniently ignore, COVID

1311
01:30:53,360 --> 01:30:57,599
Speaker 1: relief money has been flowing into this state for the.

1312
01:30:57,600 --> 01:30:58,679
Speaker 2: Past five years.

1313
01:30:58,920 --> 01:31:04,120
Speaker 1: The spigots got turned off last year, but for four

1314
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:06,920
Speaker 1: straight five straight years twenty twenty, twenty one, twenty two,

1315
01:31:07,040 --> 01:31:10,960
Speaker 1: twenty three, and twenty four, there was federal COVID relief

1316
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,839
Speaker 1: money going into state government. In fact, Governor Evers still

1317
01:31:14,880 --> 01:31:19,519
Speaker 1: has his own personal slush fund of COVID relief funds

1318
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:23,160
Speaker 1: that we have no idea what exactly he has done

1319
01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:24,760
Speaker 1: with or is doing with.

1320
01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:30,040
Speaker 2: We think we we we guess he says he spent

1321
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:31,759
Speaker 2: it all. No, not quite.

1322
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 1: The numbers don't totally add up here. But now he's

1323
01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:42,519
Speaker 1: doing the classic Democrat move. He screws up finances, He

1324
01:31:42,680 --> 01:31:49,720
Speaker 1: screws up by overspending, by doing something that soaks taxpayers,

1325
01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:55,200
Speaker 1: and then demanding that Republicans fix his mess. Is that

1326
01:31:55,360 --> 01:32:01,519
Speaker 1: not exactly what Democrats in Congress have been President Trump

1327
01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:06,120
Speaker 1: and Republicans in Congress do with respect to Obamacare tax credits.

1328
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:12,639
Speaker 1: Not a single Republican passed Obamacare, which dramatically spiked health

1329
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:15,640
Speaker 1: insurance premiums much more so than they would have otherwise

1330
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:21,440
Speaker 1: naturally increased by introducing all sorts of government regulation, bureaucratic

1331
01:32:21,560 --> 01:32:27,600
Speaker 1: red tape, and basically just introducing government as an interference

1332
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:32,120
Speaker 1: with the free market between health insurance providers, health care

1333
01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:37,759
Speaker 1: providers and their ultimate customers, patients, and just everyday people.

1334
01:32:40,600 --> 01:32:44,160
Speaker 1: Not a single Republican voted for that. Not a single

1335
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:50,120
Speaker 1: Republican voted for the Biden Stimulus, the American Rescue Plan

1336
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:58,600
Speaker 1: Act that added reimbursement payments, that basically added a lifeline

1337
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:03,040
Speaker 1: to Obamacare. Wouldn't realize just how unaffordable the Affordable Care

1338
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:06,800
Speaker 1: Act really was. Those were supposed to be temporary. That

1339
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:10,000
Speaker 1: was supposed to be a temporary COVID thing. Well, during

1340
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:15,040
Speaker 1: the Inflation Reduction Act, which again not a single Democrat ever,

1341
01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:20,280
Speaker 1: or a single Republican ever voted for. Democrats voted to

1342
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:25,320
Speaker 1: have those Obamacare subsidies sunset at the end.

1343
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 2: Of twenty twenty five.

1344
01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:33,160
Speaker 1: There's no Republican anywhere near these subsidies or the thing

1345
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:38,000
Speaker 1: that's making healthcare unaffordable for so many people, Obamacare. What

1346
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:43,000
Speaker 1: have Democrats been doing for the past six months, demanding

1347
01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:49,760
Speaker 1: that Republicans vote to extend those Obamacare subsidies, That it's

1348
01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:54,000
Speaker 1: Republican's fault if your healthcare goes up because they didn't

1349
01:33:54,080 --> 01:33:57,679
Speaker 1: vote to extend the subsidies that Democrats were the only

1350
01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 1: ones to vote in favor of, and Democrats were the

1351
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:04,479
Speaker 1: only ones to vote for the law that has made

1352
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 1: health care on a formate. This is exactly what Tony

1353
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 1: Evers is trying to do. He's trying to place the

1354
01:34:10,560 --> 01:34:14,439
Speaker 1: onus on Republicans, saying, hey, your taxes are going up

1355
01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:19,720
Speaker 1: because Republicans wouldn't pass my property tax relief proposal.

1356
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 2: No, that's not it at all. What it is is.

1357
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:32,760
Speaker 1: The fact that Governor Evers allowed for millions and millions

1358
01:34:32,760 --> 01:34:37,600
Speaker 1: and millions more property tax dollars to go for a

1359
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:43,160
Speaker 1: K twelve education system that doesn't have nearly the number

1360
01:34:43,320 --> 01:34:48,439
Speaker 1: of students that it once did, but has been overfunded

1361
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 1: by millions and millions of dollars every single year. We'll

1362
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:56,760
Speaker 1: get back into this when The Dan O'Donnell Show returns

1363
01:34:56,880 --> 01:35:04,360
Speaker 1: in just three minutes. Got an update to a story

1364
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:07,120
Speaker 1: we first broke for you in the very beginning of

1365
01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 1: today's program.

1366
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:09,680
Speaker 2: Christina L.

1367
01:35:09,840 --> 01:35:13,720
Speaker 1: Hanson, who is running for judge, or at least she

1368
01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:17,960
Speaker 1: was until the Wisconsin Elections Commission today ruled that she

1369
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:22,960
Speaker 1: can't be on the ballot for District to Appeals Court

1370
01:35:23,080 --> 01:35:28,560
Speaker 1: running against conservative Anthony Lecoco because she had her husband,

1371
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:34,040
Speaker 1: who is the Waukeshaw County Corporation Council, notarize her signature.

1372
01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:38,559
Speaker 1: That is in violation of state law that invalidated her

1373
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:42,679
Speaker 1: declaration of candidacy the Wisconsin Elections. We broke this story

1374
01:35:42,760 --> 01:35:46,720
Speaker 1: for you on Friday. There was a challenge filed. It

1375
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:51,719
Speaker 1: was apparently filed by Kyle Schrader, who is the chairman

1376
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 1: of the Wisconsin Young Republicans. I had no idea and

1377
01:35:55,560 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 1: till she posted on Facebook that that's who actually filed

1378
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:02,600
Speaker 1: the challenge. I got this sent to me and just

1379
01:36:02,680 --> 01:36:06,280
Speaker 1: happened to see the bare bones of what the challenge was.

1380
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:11,519
Speaker 1: She makes it seem like this was a partisan attack

1381
01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:15,320
Speaker 1: on her, and she says she is weighing her options

1382
01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:18,320
Speaker 1: as to what to do, but she is not going

1383
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:22,559
Speaker 1: to appear on the ballot, either in the primary election

1384
01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:25,840
Speaker 1: or in the general election. In fact, since I think

1385
01:36:25,880 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 1: there were only two declared candidates, there wouldn't be a primary.

1386
01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:34,679
Speaker 1: It would just be on the April general election ballot. Well,

1387
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:37,840
Speaker 1: now it appears there is only one candidate. I'm not

1388
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:41,240
Speaker 1: actually sure if there is anybody else who made the

1389
01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:44,200
Speaker 1: ballot in that race, but it does appear that Leucoco

1390
01:36:44,640 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 1: is going to run.

1391
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:54,680
Speaker 2: Unopposed. Hanson is that, She says, she's weighing rights. What

1392
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 2: are you gonna do? Run a registered write in campaign?

1393
01:36:57,320 --> 01:36:57,840
Speaker 2: Good luck?

1394
01:36:58,040 --> 01:37:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what to tell you. Fill

1395
01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:07,720
Speaker 1: out your paperwork properly. She also says her husband, the

1396
01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:10,759
Speaker 1: Corporation Council of Waukeshaw County, who is one.

1397
01:37:10,600 --> 01:37:13,360
Speaker 2: Of the most conservative men. I know. That's all well

1398
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:13,720
Speaker 2: and good.

1399
01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:19,600
Speaker 1: That's just that's great, conservative or liberal or political agnostic.

1400
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 1: You need to know as a notary public you cannot

1401
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:27,880
Speaker 1: note her eyes something for your spouse. I'm not a

1402
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:32,840
Speaker 1: notary public. Even I know that, sorry, fill out your

1403
01:37:32,880 --> 01:37:38,439
Speaker 1: paperwork properly. When even Anne Jacobs, the uber lib of

1404
01:37:38,479 --> 01:37:43,000
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Elections Commission, is siding against you, you know,

1405
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:46,240
Speaker 1: dog gone well that you screw.

1406
01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:47,160
Speaker 2: I still can't believe.

1407
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 1: This still blows my mind that the Wisconsin Elections Commission

1408
01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:53,880
Speaker 1: actually got something right.

1409
01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:56,439
Speaker 2: I'm shocked.

1410
01:37:56,640 --> 01:38:02,080
Speaker 1: I am absolutely shocked. Usually it's just Bob Spindel, the

1411
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:05,840
Speaker 1: one voice in the wilderness saying, uh, hey, this is

1412
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:09,920
Speaker 1: totally illegal what we just did. Spindell is the one

1413
01:38:10,080 --> 01:38:14,080
Speaker 1: true conservative on that commission. But that's the quick update

1414
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:20,200
Speaker 1: that we have, an update to the sticker shock that

1415
01:38:20,439 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands and thousands of you folks got when

1416
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:30,519
Speaker 1: you opened up your property tax bill. Governor Evers now

1417
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:36,400
Speaker 1: thinks the Wisconsin legislature should be the ones to lower

1418
01:38:36,479 --> 01:38:40,520
Speaker 1: property taxes. This is so shamelessly political. In a gubernatorial

1419
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:46,320
Speaker 1: election year, the property tax argument is probably the most

1420
01:38:46,400 --> 01:38:50,479
Speaker 1: potent that democ or that Republicans have saying, hey, you

1421
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:53,120
Speaker 1: remember how your property taxes went up by like a

1422
01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 1: thousand bucks last year. That's because of Governor Evers and

1423
01:38:57,120 --> 01:39:03,320
Speaker 1: his four hundred year veto and his team for as

1424
01:39:03,560 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 1: thoroughly incompetent as they are, they understand politics, and they

1425
01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:13,439
Speaker 1: understand that this would hurt Democrats' chances of trying to

1426
01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:16,679
Speaker 1: recapture the governor's mansion, whether it's Sarah Rodriguez, who they

1427
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:20,360
Speaker 1: clearly don't want to win, or man deadbeat or David Crowley.

1428
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:23,679
Speaker 1: I still think Crowley is going to be the compromise candidate.

1429
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:27,080
Speaker 2: He's not Mandela.

1430
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:30,200
Speaker 1: Nobody wants Mandela because everybody thinks Mandela is going to

1431
01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 1: lose again. The Evers administration hates Sarah Rodriguez. I think

1432
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:40,240
Speaker 1: it's because she proved me right about his She proved

1433
01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:43,600
Speaker 1: me right that the Evers administration actually held off his

1434
01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:49,160
Speaker 1: retirement announcement just to spite a radio host me. It

1435
01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:55,000
Speaker 1: sounds almost unbelievable, but it is true. And her stupidity

1436
01:39:54,720 --> 01:40:00,160
Speaker 1: in putting out her campaign announcement video on the day

1437
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:03,679
Speaker 1: that I said Evers was going to originally retire proved

1438
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:07,920
Speaker 1: I think they despised. First of all, they didn't like

1439
01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:11,320
Speaker 1: her to begin with. I'm not exactly sure why. My

1440
01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:15,560
Speaker 1: source says there has been a long time just animosity

1441
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:19,760
Speaker 1: between the Rodriguez people and the Evers people. They just

1442
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: don't particularly like each other. I a turf war or

1443
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:27,599
Speaker 1: something like that. No one big thing. But after that happened,

1444
01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:30,760
Speaker 1: it was all out war. The two sides hated each other.

1445
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:39,040
Speaker 1: Evers openly openly tried to undermine her candidacy by saying, yeah,

1446
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:44,160
Speaker 1: I'll endorse somebody so long as it's not Sarah Rodriguez.

1447
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:46,280
Speaker 1: If there's someone who gets in the race that I like.

1448
01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:49,960
Speaker 1: Rodriguez at the time was the only candidate who is

1449
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:52,640
Speaker 1: in the race. There's a candidate that gets in that

1450
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:55,000
Speaker 1: I like and I think deserves to win, then yeah, yeah,

1451
01:40:55,040 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 1: I'll endorse right now.

1452
01:40:56,280 --> 01:40:57,320
Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to redore.

1453
01:40:58,160 --> 01:41:01,040
Speaker 1: The obvious implication was he doesn't like Rodriguez, he doesn't

1454
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,479
Speaker 1: want her to win, and he's not going to endorse her.

1455
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:11,080
Speaker 2: Evers, though, wants Democrats.

1456
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:18,280
Speaker 1: To maintain the governor's mansion. Evers's people clearly want jobs

1457
01:41:18,320 --> 01:41:22,599
Speaker 1: in the next gubernatorial administration, and they want a governor

1458
01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 1: to be of the left, whomever it is. They all

1459
01:41:26,560 --> 01:41:31,599
Speaker 1: recognize that Republicans can say, hey, look at your property taxes.

1460
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 2: Do you want that to keep happening? Vote Democrat?

1461
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:40,240
Speaker 1: Do you want me to instantly end that four hundred

1462
01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:43,839
Speaker 1: year veto vote for me. Do you want your property

1463
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:45,040
Speaker 1: taxes to go down?

1464
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:46,600
Speaker 2: Vote for me?

1465
01:41:47,640 --> 01:41:52,639
Speaker 1: Very politically potent argument. Evers now wants to put the

1466
01:41:52,680 --> 01:41:57,400
Speaker 1: onus back on Republicans, saying, look, I tried, I wanted

1467
01:41:57,479 --> 01:42:01,639
Speaker 1: property tax I proposed a billion dollar property tax relief,

1468
01:42:01,680 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 1: and those mean tax and spend Republicans they rebuffed me.

1469
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:06,880
Speaker 2: They wouldn't do it.

1470
01:42:08,720 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 1: How insanely disingenuous. Evers is the reason your property tax

1471
01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:20,960
Speaker 1: bill went up. The Democrats who control your local school board,

1472
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:27,040
Speaker 1: taking advantage of Evers' partial veto, the four hundred year veto,

1473
01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:31,720
Speaker 1: They're the reason your property taxes went up. All this

1474
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:38,479
Speaker 1: is is political. See why a another head coaching shocker

1475
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:42,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL today will discuss and what it could

1476
01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:44,040
Speaker 1: possibly mean for the Green Bay Packers.

1477
01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:46,679
Speaker 2: Next, did you feel.

1478
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:49,960
Speaker 1: Bad for Aaron Rodgers last night or was there still

1479
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:55,160
Speaker 1: some shout in freud watching him get absolutely mauled by

1480
01:42:55,160 --> 01:43:01,759
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans defense. That game was seven to six,

1481
01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:05,240
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it was thirty to six.

1482
01:43:06,280 --> 01:43:10,720
Speaker 1: I was watching that with some friends, and wow, that

1483
01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:15,000
Speaker 1: took a turn very quickly. The Texans scored two defensive

1484
01:43:15,040 --> 01:43:21,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the second half and immediately after the game. Apparently,

1485
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:28,439
Speaker 1: longtime Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told ownership he's done.

1486
01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:34,680
Speaker 1: After nineteen seasons, he was the longest tenured coach in

1487
01:43:34,760 --> 01:43:35,400
Speaker 1: the NFL.

1488
01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:38,799
Speaker 2: He's out now.

1489
01:43:39,400 --> 01:43:42,960
Speaker 1: There was a whole lot of speculation about his future

1490
01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:48,439
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, much like with John Harbaugh, the second longest

1491
01:43:48,479 --> 01:43:51,479
Speaker 1: tenured head coach in football, who was fired by the

1492
01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:55,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens after eighteen seasons when that team was eliminated

1493
01:43:55,640 --> 01:43:59,200
Speaker 1: by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the final game of the

1494
01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 1: regular season after a missed field goal by rookie kicker

1495
01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 1: Tyler Loop.

1496
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:07,120
Speaker 2: Real interesting story there. You might remember.

1497
01:44:07,120 --> 01:44:11,680
Speaker 1: The longtime Ravens kicker was Justin Tucker, an all time great.

1498
01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:15,120
Speaker 2: You know what happened to him. He's out of the league.

1499
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 1: The Ravens cut him because he was doing allegedly all

1500
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:24,439
Speaker 1: manner of inappropriate things with massuses. He's pulling the old

1501
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:28,680
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. So he's no longer the kicker, and the

1502
01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 1: Ravens cut him. They signed this rookie Tyler Loop, who

1503
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:35,400
Speaker 1: was actually pretty good during the regular season, but in

1504
01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:39,320
Speaker 1: the most important kick of his life, he shanked it.

1505
01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 1: And he shanked a short one. It cost John Harbaugh

1506
01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:45,280
Speaker 1: his job. That was apparently the last straw for Ravens

1507
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:51,880
Speaker 1: ownership and the Steelers. The Rooney family was apparently looking

1508
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:56,400
Speaker 1: to start over. Move on from Aaron Rodgers, move on

1509
01:44:56,560 --> 01:45:01,400
Speaker 1: from Mike Tomlin, get some young blood in there. Well,

1510
01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:05,439
Speaker 1: Tomlin didn't give him the chance. He walked away. Now

1511
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:08,240
Speaker 1: what does this mean for the Green Bay Packers?

1512
01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:10,040
Speaker 2: A lot.

1513
01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:18,439
Speaker 1: It is very likely that John Harbaugh, who probably has

1514
01:45:18,479 --> 01:45:23,439
Speaker 1: his pick of jobs. He is easily the most highly

1515
01:45:23,479 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 1: regarded coach on the market. Second, probably Kevin Stefanski. Do

1516
01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:33,360
Speaker 1: you know who is very likely to be the third

1517
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:37,000
Speaker 1: in line in the pecking order The Packers defensive coordinator

1518
01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:41,880
Speaker 1: Jeff Hafley. He's interviewing with the Tennessee Titans today for

1519
01:45:41,960 --> 01:45:44,479
Speaker 1: their head coaching job. I believe he's also interviewing with

1520
01:45:44,520 --> 01:45:48,640
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. He probably will have his pick of

1521
01:45:48,760 --> 01:45:53,840
Speaker 1: jobs as well well. With Tomlin gone out of Pittsburgh,

1522
01:45:54,320 --> 01:45:57,880
Speaker 1: if the Green Bay Packers were to have a coaching vacancy,

1523
01:45:58,360 --> 01:46:04,080
Speaker 1: they would easily be the most desirable job. Stable ownership

1524
01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:10,720
Speaker 1: and management, front office, good young quarterback of franchise, quarterback

1525
01:46:11,080 --> 01:46:16,559
Speaker 1: franchise defensive player, yes, coming off an injury, but talent

1526
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:21,160
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. A dedicated fan base,

1527
01:46:22,160 --> 01:46:25,280
Speaker 1: A loyal fan base who doesn't call for the firing

1528
01:46:25,360 --> 01:46:29,759
Speaker 1: of the head coach until things go really, really, really

1529
01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:34,320
Speaker 1: really bad like they did on Saturday night. It is

1530
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:37,519
Speaker 1: my very strong suspicion. In fact, it was my strong

1531
01:46:37,560 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 1: suspicion even before this latest epic Packers playoff collapse, that

1532
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:44,679
Speaker 1: they were going to extend Matt Lafleur.

1533
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:48,160
Speaker 2: I don't believe.

1534
01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:51,360
Speaker 1: The only reason I think that they would even consider

1535
01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:55,880
Speaker 1: not bringing him back is because they think they could

1536
01:46:55,920 --> 01:46:58,240
Speaker 1: get John Harbaugh, and they believe John Harbaugh as a

1537
01:46:58,240 --> 01:47:04,080
Speaker 1: better coach. With the Pittsburgh Steelers' job opening, this is

1538
01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:08,360
Speaker 1: another very attractive job opening now. They don't have a

1539
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:12,240
Speaker 1: young franchise quarterback. Aaron Rodgers is going to be forty

1540
01:47:12,280 --> 01:47:15,400
Speaker 1: three years old next year. In While it's very possible

1541
01:47:15,560 --> 01:47:18,759
Speaker 1: that he comes back for another year, he certainly sounded

1542
01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:21,640
Speaker 1: in his postgame press conference last night like he was

1543
01:47:21,720 --> 01:47:25,280
Speaker 1: done talking about He was reminiscing about the good time,

1544
01:47:25,320 --> 01:47:28,519
Speaker 1: saying I spent eighteen great years in a wonderful city

1545
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:32,599
Speaker 1: like Green Bay. Sure sounded like he's going to call

1546
01:47:32,600 --> 01:47:35,840
Speaker 1: it a career, But who knows. I think Rogers has

1547
01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:38,760
Speaker 1: still got gas left in the tank. Is a new

1548
01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:42,479
Speaker 1: coach going to want to come in with a forty

1549
01:47:42,479 --> 01:47:45,719
Speaker 1: three year old quarterback who almost certainly would be playing

1550
01:47:45,760 --> 01:47:50,280
Speaker 1: in his last NFL season. No, they're going to want

1551
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:53,479
Speaker 1: to draft and develop a quarterback, or maybe they spend

1552
01:47:53,560 --> 01:47:57,400
Speaker 1: free agent money on Malik Willis. Judging that their roster

1553
01:47:57,560 --> 01:48:05,280
Speaker 1: is potentially super bull bound save for the quarterback position.

1554
01:48:05,880 --> 01:48:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. John Harbaugh could theoretically go to the

1555
01:48:12,040 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 1: Ravens divisional rival in Pittsburgh. He could say, hey, I

1556
01:48:18,320 --> 01:48:23,559
Speaker 1: wouldn't need to move my family all that far. Maybe

1557
01:48:23,600 --> 01:48:26,760
Speaker 1: it's a better opportunity. Maybe I get more money in

1558
01:48:26,800 --> 01:48:30,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh than I do in Green Bay. If that's the case,

1559
01:48:30,439 --> 01:48:38,400
Speaker 1: then absolutely the Packers hold on to Matt Lafleur. Tomlin

1560
01:48:40,240 --> 01:48:43,719
Speaker 1: theoretically would also have his pick of any other job.

1561
01:48:44,479 --> 01:48:49,120
Speaker 1: I tend to believe that Tomlin is probably done. I

1562
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:51,519
Speaker 1: think he's probably gonna call it a career and retire,

1563
01:48:51,560 --> 01:48:53,160
Speaker 1: though I don't know. If there's one thing I do

1564
01:48:53,280 --> 01:48:57,640
Speaker 1: know about football coaches, they're like boxers. They're never really retired.

1565
01:48:58,080 --> 01:49:03,840
Speaker 1: Just look at Pete Carroll with the Raider this year. Packers, though,

1566
01:49:04,520 --> 01:49:07,280
Speaker 1: are going to have to get a new defensive coordinator.

1567
01:49:08,320 --> 01:49:10,479
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to get a new special teams coach,

1568
01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:16,559
Speaker 1: that much is sure. Rich Bisachia, thanks for the memories, Brother,

1569
01:49:16,920 --> 01:49:23,680
Speaker 1: gone done. I think they're gonna run it back with

1570
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:27,280
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur, and if they have another bad season, I

1571
01:49:27,360 --> 01:49:33,839
Speaker 1: think Guda Kunst and Ed Policy are saying, all right, injury,

1572
01:49:33,840 --> 01:49:39,719
Speaker 1: bug bit, you lose a generational talent like Michael Parsons.

1573
01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:42,479
Speaker 1: I mean, think about it like this, Packer's front off

1574
01:49:42,520 --> 01:49:46,640
Speaker 1: is clearly believed that Michael Parsons was the key to

1575
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:50,040
Speaker 1: their Super Bowl run, and it looked like he was

1576
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:55,760
Speaker 1: when he went down. The Packers are nine three and one.

1577
01:49:56,080 --> 01:49:57,920
Speaker 1: They've won a whole bunch of games in a row.

1578
01:49:59,040 --> 01:50:01,920
Speaker 1: They're leading the d Broncos, the number one seed in

1579
01:50:01,960 --> 01:50:07,360
Speaker 1: the AFC. Frankly, they're out playing them. Parsons goes down,

1580
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:10,400
Speaker 1: they lose that game, and they don't win another game

1581
01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:14,840
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. Can Matt Lafleur make

1582
01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:19,599
Speaker 1: the argument, Hey, we were a Micah Parsons away from

1583
01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contention. This season goes very differently if Parsons

1584
01:50:25,680 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 1: doesn't tear his acl I think you can make that

1585
01:50:29,840 --> 01:50:34,599
Speaker 1: argument now. I'm of the opinion that the Packers do

1586
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:39,080
Speaker 1: need new blood. That look, I think Lafleur is a

1587
01:50:39,080 --> 01:50:44,120
Speaker 1: better coach than his critics deride him for some of

1588
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:49,919
Speaker 1: the challenges. The replay challenge, it's just idiotic. You're burning timeouts.

1589
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:55,160
Speaker 1: The timeout management is awful. The fact that they take

1590
01:50:55,200 --> 01:50:58,240
Speaker 1: a delay of game penalty coming out of a timeout,

1591
01:50:58,840 --> 01:51:01,719
Speaker 1: I've never seen that all my years of following football

1592
01:51:02,080 --> 01:51:05,000
Speaker 1: at every I don't think I've ever seen a high school.

1593
01:51:04,680 --> 01:51:05,400
Speaker 2: Team do that.

1594
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:10,719
Speaker 1: I think it's time that you need to change again.

1595
01:51:10,760 --> 01:51:13,519
Speaker 1: I will go back to the stat that just jumped

1596
01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:15,680
Speaker 1: off the page to me. In two decades, in the

1597
01:51:15,680 --> 01:51:20,880
Speaker 1: past two decades, no coach has gone seven years from

1598
01:51:21,080 --> 01:51:26,000
Speaker 1: hiring to winning a Super Bowl except Andy Reid. Matt

1599
01:51:26,040 --> 01:51:29,320
Speaker 1: Lafleur is entering his eighth season agreement. Do we believe

1600
01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:32,439
Speaker 1: that he's going to be the guy to turn the tide,

1601
01:51:32,439 --> 01:51:40,000
Speaker 1: to break through and win. The reality is, the guys

1602
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:43,519
Speaker 1: who win Super Bowls, I hate to say it, are

1603
01:51:43,560 --> 01:51:45,920
Speaker 1: the ones who come in and make a big splash,

1604
01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:49,280
Speaker 1: like a Ben Johnson, who just totally changed the culture

1605
01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:53,519
Speaker 1: of an organization. Eventually there you know what wears a

1606
01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:59,960
Speaker 1: little thin. They usually burn out by year six or seven. Rogers, though,

1607
01:52:00,120 --> 01:52:02,479
Speaker 1: did make a good point. He said, when he first

1608
01:52:02,560 --> 01:52:06,400
Speaker 1: came into the league, there wasn't this level of impatience

1609
01:52:06,520 --> 01:52:11,559
Speaker 1: with head coaches where if you don't win within two years,

1610
01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:17,360
Speaker 1: you're gone, no questions asked. Not entirely true. Owners did

1611
01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:22,920
Speaker 1: have relatively short leashes two decades ago as well, but

1612
01:52:23,439 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 1: there was more stability. He was saying. You know, guys

1613
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:30,760
Speaker 1: like Matt Lafleur, guys like Mike Tomlin, there should be

1614
01:52:30,800 --> 01:52:35,400
Speaker 1: no there should be no heat under their seat because

1615
01:52:35,439 --> 01:52:39,840
Speaker 1: of what they've accomplished. And sure, just the culture in

1616
01:52:39,880 --> 01:52:44,200
Speaker 1: professional sports. Need I remind you the Bucks fired Mike

1617
01:52:44,320 --> 01:52:48,080
Speaker 1: Budenholzer what two years after he won the NBA championship,

1618
01:52:49,280 --> 01:52:53,960
Speaker 1: and they've been a mess ever since. So you never

1619
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:57,760
Speaker 1: quite know how a culture is going to change, how

1620
01:52:57,800 --> 01:53:00,719
Speaker 1: a team is going to change. But it does seem

1621
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:04,600
Speaker 1: as though the Packers are content to stand pat with

1622
01:53:04,720 --> 01:53:08,479
Speaker 1: their current head coach, even though the Steelers, one of

1623
01:53:08,479 --> 01:53:13,120
Speaker 1: the most stable franchises in the NFL, were not Do

1624
01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:16,120
Speaker 1: you know how many head coaches the Pittsburgh Steelers have

1625
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:23,080
Speaker 1: had since nineteen sixty nine, three Chuck Knowle, Bill Cowher,

1626
01:53:24,320 --> 01:53:27,879
Speaker 1: and the now retired Mike Tomlin.

1627
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:31,360
Speaker 2: That is unbelievable.

1628
01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:36,080
Speaker 1: That is, you thought other organizations, you thought the Packers

1629
01:53:36,080 --> 01:53:39,840
Speaker 1: had stability at the quarterback position. They're going to end

1630
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:44,400
Speaker 1: up having three quarterbacks in about forty years after Farv

1631
01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:49,400
Speaker 1: Rogers and now Jordan Love, assuming of course Love stays healthy.

1632
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:53,640
Speaker 1: He's clearly proven himself to be the franchise quarterback that

1633
01:53:53,680 --> 01:53:57,160
Speaker 1: the Packers always seem to be able to draft and develop.

1634
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:05,400
Speaker 1: That is organizational stability in Pittsburgh. Three head coaches in

1635
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:09,080
Speaker 1: fifty plus year fifth what is that? Fifty seven years?

1636
01:54:09,840 --> 01:54:14,559
Speaker 1: That's insane, and they felt the need to make a change.

1637
01:54:15,600 --> 01:54:19,400
Speaker 1: Steelers very similar to the Packers. They make the playoffs

1638
01:54:19,400 --> 01:54:22,559
Speaker 1: every year, and they lose every year. In fact, I

1639
01:54:22,560 --> 01:54:27,280
Speaker 1: don't think they've won a playoff game in twelve years.

1640
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:29,640
Speaker 2: Packers who won playoff.

1641
01:54:29,240 --> 01:54:32,880
Speaker 1: Games, but they always seem to lose in heartbreaking, soul

1642
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:37,080
Speaker 1: crushing fashion. And if the Pittsburgh Steelers can make a

1643
01:54:37,160 --> 01:54:40,879
Speaker 1: change at the head coaching position, so too can the Packers.

1644
01:54:40,880 --> 01:54:43,440
Speaker 1: Although I don't believe they are going to out of

1645
01:54:43,520 --> 01:54:46,480
Speaker 1: time for Today's show back tomorrow three h six with

1646
