Speaker 1: five o'clock. It just may be the single dumbest thing

30
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: I have ever heard from one of the dubbest figures

31
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin political history. We have got the exclusive Mandela Barnes,

32
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,960

00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: That's coming up right after the five o'clock news right now,

36
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: though it is an update on the state's largest early

37
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: vote drive. We are trying to get as many Conservatives

38
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: out as humanly possible as in person. Early voting continues

39
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: now in its second week ahead of next Tuesday's election.

40
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: Today's update on the state's largest early vote drive from

41
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: the start of the Dan O'Donnell show on Friday afternoon,

42
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: and we did include texts I received over the weekend

43
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: straight through into today. Obviously, a lot of communities do

44
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: not have in person early voting, but I was getting

45
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: a number of texts and emails of people saying they

46
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: either voted last week or they returned their mail in ballots,

47
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: and we kept the count going until about thirty today,

48
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: when I stopped counting because I had to get ready

49
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: for the show.

50
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: We had a.

51
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: Total of three hundred twelve early votes logged for a

52
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: four day total on the state's largest early vote drive

53
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: of one thousand, eight hundred and seventy nine total early votes.

54
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Thank you all so much for taking part in the

55
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: state's largest early vote drive. For those who don't quite

56
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: know how it works, it's really very simple.

57
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: Early vote. Go out to the polls, return your mail

58
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: in ballot.

59
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: Once you do, let me know that you've early voted

60
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: by shooting me a text at four to one, four

61
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: seven nine, nine eleven thirty. That is our adventnos dot

62
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: com talk and text line.

63
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: Let me know you vote.

64
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: That way, we can log your vote. Also, please be

65
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: sure to tell me how many people you brought to

66
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: the polls.

67
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: If you went with your husband or your wife, maybe.

68
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: Your kids home from college for spring break, you took

69
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: him or her, you took elderly parents you want to know,

70
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: and then after you have done that, job still isn't done.

71
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: You need to get as many people to the polls

72
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: as possible, and the best way to do so is

73
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: to arm them with knowledge, to arm them with the facts,

74
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: to arm them with the candidates that share their values.

75
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: This is something folks on a statewide level that conservatives

76
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: really have never had before. It is the state ultimate

77
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: Conservative voter guide for the spring election at our brand

78
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: new website. It just debude last week the Heartland Post

79
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: that's Heartlandpost dot com heart as in heart Radio Heartland Post.

80
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: We have got the names of hundreds and hundreds hundreds

81
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: of candidates, all with conservative values, all who have been

82
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: vetted by their local Republican parties, all who have been

83
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: identified as conservatives. This does not mean that we are

84
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: or I am endorsing those cadidates.

85
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: It just means that those are the conservatives in the race.

86
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: It's very easy to tell who to vote for in

87
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: a partisan race because obviously there's a little R or

88
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: a little D next to their name, and that is

89
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: usually a pretty good indicator of which candidate in the

90
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: race better aligns with their values well in the spring race.

91
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: The nonpartisan nature of them often makes it very difficult

92
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: for both artisan conservatives and liberals alike to tell who

93
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: are the candidates that they should be voting for, Because

94
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: in a floored race, in a village board is often

95
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: there is not a whole lot of attention paid. But

96
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: there should be, and that's why we tried to do

97
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: the work and put together the single biggest voter guide

98
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: conservative or liberal that has ever been put together.

99
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: Find it at.

108
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: podcasts now. I say these smaller races don't get a

109
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: lot of attention, that does not mean that they are

110
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: not significant for the future of this space. That brings

111
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: us to an exclusive story out of Alloyway, where an

112
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: election to the alloy Way Village Board brings up a

113
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: whole lot of issues that aren't really percolating across Wisconsin,

114
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: but across this country.

115
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: Jim Genrik is seeking.

116
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: Reelection to the Alloway Board just months after the collapse

117
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: of the Northeast Wisconsin Community Action Program or NEWCAST.

118
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: Genrick served as the treasurer of the board.

119
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: He faced harsh criticism for his role in the downfall

120
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: of that organization and millions in potential fraud.

121
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: Genrick, by the way.

122
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: Also happens to be the father of Eric Genrick, who

123
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: is the very controversial Democrat mayor of Green Bay who

124
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty violated all manner of laws in

125
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: essentially taking over control and taking over the operation of

126
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty presidential election in Green Bay from his

127
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: own city clerk.

128
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: The Brown County Clerk.

129
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: Raised the alarm on what it was the City of

130
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: green Bay was doing. Eric Genrick, to my knowledge, has

131
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: no connection to his father's dealings at NEWCAP, but the

132
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: downfall of NEWCAP and the fact that the treasurer of

133
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: the organization that misused millions of dollars in taxpayer funds

134
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: wants to be re elected as a village trustee, speaks

135
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: volumes about where we are politically. For those who haven't

136
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: been following the scandal, and admittedly we covered it just

137
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: very briefly when it happened, because as of now anyway,

138
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell show is not on in northeast Wisconsin,

139
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: and this is primarily, or at least it's been primarily

140
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: covered as a local or sort of region scandal. Newcap

141
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: is a nonprofit that is aimed at helping low income

142
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: people in the Green Bay area, primarily with either direct

143
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: assistants or rent assistants or weatherization of homes.

144
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 4: Well.

145
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: Earlier this year, they announced that they're going to close

146
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: amid a multi million.

147
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: Dollar budget eficit. Now, how does this happen?

148
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: Well, according to investigative reports members of Congress who have

149
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: been looking into this and others in the Green Bay area,

150
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: it's because of widespread misuse of taxpayer money.

151
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 2: How much money?

152
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: Well, in twenty twenty four a loon, Newcap received fourteen

153
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: million dollars in government money. Now, earlier this year, there

154
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: was an independent audit that was launched by the tax

155
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: firm Baker Tilly which raised substantial doubt about Newcap's ability

156
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: to continue operating because they were just too far in

157
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: the rep The Wisconsin Department of Administration took a very

158
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: rare step in placing it under what's known as enhanced

159
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: financial Monitoring and declined to renew key contracts that it

160
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: had made with Newcap. NEWCAP was taking a whole lot

161
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: of money from the state of Wisconsin as well as

162
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: the federal government. Well, Jim Genrick was the treasurer of

163
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: the Board of Directors, so he was one of the

164
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: responsible officiers and one of the you could argue primary

165
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: responsible officials whose primary goal and primary role it was

166
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:10,479
Speaker 1: to oversee newcaps finances. So there were some serious questions

167
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: that were raised as a result of the very very

168
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: good work that's been done in by local media and

169
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay, especially Fox eleven. Fox eleven's investigative reporting revealed

170
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: just real serious questions about just what the board was

171
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: and was not aware of of all of the mounting problems,

172
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: including a growing deficit that reportedly reached about two million dollars.

173
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: Now think about it, in twenty twenty four, this organization

174
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: gets fourteen million dollars in taxpayer funds, yet they're somehow

175
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: two million dollars in the red. Now Genrich, as treasurer

176
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: of the board, had a pretty significant amount of personal

177
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: responsibility for the mishandling of those public funds. He was

178
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: in charge of financial oversight during the period leading to

179
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: Newcap's demise. Now Newcap almost certainly engaged in fraudulent practices.

180
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: A number of former employees have come out and told

181
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: Fox eleven, and they have also told investigators looking into

182
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: this that grants for housing for the homeless and for

183
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: low income residents of Green Bay, and for literization of

184
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: poor residents' homes were instead directed towards salary and benefits

185
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: for high level executives.

186
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: Tail as old as time.

187
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: In fact, the now former CEO of Newcap, Cheryl Dietrich,

188
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: per salary increased one hundred and forty percent. Not only that,

189
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: while things are going south and they're running in tons

190
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: and tons and tons of taxpayer dollars, they weren't just

191
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: spending lavishly on salary. They were also spending on first

192
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: pass travel as well as team building activities at high

193
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: end restaurants. They weren't going to play a twenty dollars

194
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: game of laser tag. No, no, no, no, no, not

195
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: for these lefties at Newcap. They were going to high

196
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: end restaurants, and they were traveling all over the country

197
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: to conferences. All the while, the money that's supposed to

198
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: be going to poor people is instead going to make.

199
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: Richer the people who run Newcap.

200
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: Now Representatives Tony Wed and Brian Style are calling for

201
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: a federal investigation into this.

202
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: Weed said in a news release.

203
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: Northeast Wisconsin families work hard for their money, and it

204
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: is our duty to ensure that every single one of

205
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: their taxpayer dollars is used efficiently. The allegations of misuse

206
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: at Newcap for the personal gain of executives and employees

207
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,239
Speaker 1: are unacceptable. I urge HUDD to conduct a full investigation

208
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: so taxpayers across Wisconsin's A district can see how every

209
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: penny was spent.

210
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: Now.

211
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: Style added the allegations of excessive spending raised serious questions

212
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: about wasteful and abusive behavior with taxpayer funds. I urge

213
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: HUD to investigate the allegations of misuse and restore good

214
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: governance and responsible management of critical housing programs. As far

215
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: as Jim Genrick's role in this, it would sort of

216
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: defy reason for him as treasurer of the board to

217
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: have absolutely no knowledge of how this money was.

218
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 2: Actually being spent.

219
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: It is almost inconceivable that he wouldn't have any idea now. Denrick,

220
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: as I said, also serves as an incumbent trustee on

221
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: the Alloway Village Board and wouldn't tell it. He is

222
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: up for reelection on the ballot right now. He's running

223
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: for one of three seats in the election. Candidates Matthew

224
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: Harris and Matt Phoner are also on this race the

225
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: incumbent Christopher Sampson, another incumbent, decided not to see reelection here.

226
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: Genrick has served multiple terms on the board. He was

227
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: on various village committees, public works, historic preservation committees in

228
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: the village of Alloway. As I said, he's the father

229
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: of green Bay's Mayor Eric Genrick. He's a Democrat who's

230
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: served since twenty nineteen. As I said, this goes well

231
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: beyond just a local village trustee race in Allowei.

232
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: You probably sorry to the people of Albai.

233
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure it is a wonderful community my knowledge, I've

234
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: never been there, but the entire Green Bay area is fantastic.

235
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have a wonderful village. But the overwhelming

236
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: majority of people in this state who do not care

237
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: less about the village of Alloway politics.

238
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: That's sort of the nature of local politics.

239
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: Fascinating to the people in the village, at least the

240
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: or six of them that actually pay attentions going on

241
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: with politics in.

242
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: The village, but everybody else else doesn't really affect me.

243
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: This does?

244
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 4: This does?

245
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: Jim Denrik was handed a position of power authority over

246
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: tax money. He was a seward of the public's treasure.

247
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: He was a steward of your money, all of our money.

248
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: If you paid taxes in Wisconsin in twenty twenty four,

249
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars of your money went to Newcap because

250
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: the government trusted New Cap, The Ebers administration trusted Newcap

251
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: to give that money to the poor to provide weatherization

252
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: for their homes. As you can imagine Green Bay relatively

253
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: tough climate in the winter time. You need to make

254
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: sure that the heating, the insulation, everything is ready for

255
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: the elements for people who may not have the money

256
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: to be able to make those repairs themselves. Not only

257
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: that this money was going to actually help people find houses,

258
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: that this was going to help the homeless in terms

259
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: of rent assistance and also direct assistance. In other words,

260
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: money that was supposed to be going to the poor

261
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: instead it goes to Genrick's buddies. Now I have evidence

262
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: that Jim Genrick took any of this money for himself.

263
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: I have no evidence anybody other than Cheryl Dietrich, who

264
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: apparently authorized her own one salary increase, was taking money

265
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: that was meant.

266
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: For the homeless. But it is a classic sign of

267
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: widespread broad within an organization when all of a sudden

268
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: money starts rolling in.

269
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: Salaries go up for top members of the organization, befits

270
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: go up for top members, all of a sudden, there's

271
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: a huge increase in travel, all of a sudden, there's

272
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: a huge increase in dinners meetings that are never held

273
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: in the local Contents Room at Green Bay's City Hall,

274
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: but instead held at the Four Seasons. They need to

275
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: go away for a conference. That it boggles my mind.

276
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: Teachers are notorious, educators are notorious for this. We have

277
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: to get together for a conference. Oh, it just happens

278
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: to be at the Chula Vista Resorts at the Wisconsin Dells,

279
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: And in secret, while we're going down a water slide,

280
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: we're going to essentially rig Wisconsin's statewide education exams for kids. Well,

281
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: the same things go on in these nonprofits, and it

282
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: looks as though Newcap was just bought red handed, abusing

283
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: the publics trust and stealing this. You want to know

284
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: why spring elections matter because someone like Jim Genrick has

285
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: no business being anywhere near the village of Alloway's money

286
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: anymore than he had any business being anywhere near the

287
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: state of Wisconsin's money.

288
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 2: But he's on ballot. He's on the ballot, and he.

289
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: Is very likely going to win yet another term because frankly,

290
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: most people don't understand what's at stake in these small

291
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: local elections, and most people don't really take the time

292
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: to research the candidates. That's why we put together the

293
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: Ultimate Conservative voter Guide. More on the Spring election next

294
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: here on the Daniel Doocation clasical conservatism and contemporary style.

295
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: You get both in equal measure. Here on the Dan

296
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: o'donald show. Welcome back to it. A lot of people

297
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: texting in to let me know that they have voted

298
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: in the state's largest early vote drive.

299
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 2: Two more in Mosigo.

300
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: Hi, Dan, My wife and I both voted today in Mugwanago, Hey,

301
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: Dan just took part in your early vote drive.

302
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: Keep those texts coming. So far, eighteen.

303
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: Hundred and seventy nine people have said that they voted

304
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: early in Wisconsin's largest early vote drive. Please make your

305
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: vote count, get out and vote early. Do I still

306
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: need to harp on why it's so important to vote early.

307
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: It's because a nobody can predict whether or not they're

308
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: actually going to be there on election day. Nobody can

309
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: predict whether they are one hundred percent certain to vote.

310
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: You think you are, You don't know. You literally do

311
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: not know. You could, like Supreme Court candidate Chris Taylor,

312
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: come down with kidney stones, and you wouldn't be able to.

313
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 2: Go out and vote.

314
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: You'd still be able to go out on a statewide

315
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: tour three days later, but you just would not be

316
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,360
Speaker 1: able to take part in a debate that your campaign

317
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: really didn't want to take part in. That debate, by

318
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: the way, is going to be rescheduled for Thursday. It

319
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: was supposed to be last Wednesday, but of course the

320
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: most convenient case of kidney.

321
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: Stones in the not world.

322
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: Look, I would be more likely to believe Chris Taylor

323
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: and her kidney stones are I don't believe.

324
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 2: First of all, I do believe she had kidney stones.

325
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't believe that she was faking this right,

326
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: that she came down with a mystery illness two days

327
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: before spring break and she said, you know, boss, I

328
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: just can't come in. I got the black lung. And

329
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: you see pictures on her Facebook page live from Jamaica.

330
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not saying it was that.

331
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying that her campaign made it abundantly clear because

332
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: it would not accept any other date that was proposed

333
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: to it by the Maria Lazar campaign other than the

334
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: absolute latest possible date. We have never had a debate

335
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: as late as the one that we're going to have

336
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: four days five days before the actual election. Well, even

337
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: had the debate gone on as scheduled last week, which

338
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: would have been what the twenty fifth, twenty sixth, just

339
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: less than two weeks before election, that we have never

340
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: had a debate when it was the only debate in

341
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: given election that would have been left late. And the

342
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: reason was that Chris Taylor knows she's the favorite in

343
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: this race. She knows that the only thing that a

344
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: debate could do is screw her up, right, So why

345
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: would she take part in a debate. Why would she

346
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: take part in something where it would the advantage would

347
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: naturally be to her opponent, because her opponent would be

348
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: able to make up some grounds. Her opponent would be

349
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: able to deliver some killer line or expose something that

350
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: breaks through the cutter. As I always say, debates are

351
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: not about an overall performance because nobody watches the damn things.

352
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: It's psychopaths like me who are obsessed with politics. They're

353
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: about points that They're about the things that go viral.

354
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: They're about the memorable quotes. They're about the things like

355
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: the For example, for example, what do you remember about

356
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: the vice presidential debate in nineteen eighty eight. You might

357
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: think you remember nothing, you remember absolutely nothing, but I

358
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: guarantee you remember Lloyd Benson saying Dan Quayle after quail

359
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: sort of favorably compared himself to John F.

360
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 2: Kennedy's that, sir, I worked with John F.

361
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 5: Kennedy.

362
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 2: I knew John F. Kennedy, and you are no John F.

363
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 4: Kennedy.

364
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 2: It's the only line anybody.

365
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: Ever really remembers from a vice presidential debate, or more recently,

366
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: do you remember the twenty twenty four vice presidential debate.

367
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: You probably don't remember a single life, but I guaranteed

368
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: you remember the Tim Walls looking absolutely terrified face when

369
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: he realized just how good his opponent, now Vice President J. D.

370
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: Banf was on the issues. It's about those moments. Christy

371
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: Day were clearly wanted to deny her opponent, Maria Azar

372
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: from any of those moments to him for any sort

373
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: of ability to make up any ground book Blazarre, according

374
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: to the Marque University Lost whole poll is down eight points.

375
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: Eight points not insurmountable, but that's pretty substantial lead for

376
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: her opponent. There are still forty six percent of voters

377
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 1: who are undecigned. Now, naturally, most of those voters are

378
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: going to take towards the candidate. Wants to realize who

379
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: the candidate is that aligns ideologically with them, they're going

380
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: to vote for that candidate. Generally speaking, there is something

381
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: of a band leg and effect for the candidate who

382
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: is perceived as winning tends to get works. I'm not

383
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: exactly sure how prevalent that is in a very small

384
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: turnout election like this one is going to be. That

385
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: generally holds true in presidential races where people aren't quite

386
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: as ideologically set. People will vote for a Democrat, they

387
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: will vote for a Republicant. And it is still foreign

388
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: to me, but people actually do just vote for the

389
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: candidate who it thinks that is going to win. They

390
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: can say they voted for the winning Candi. It's called

391
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: the bandwagon effect. Taylor just three days after saying she

392
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: had a case of kidney stones so bad, so bad

393
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: she couldn't debate magically past those kidney stones, right before

394
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: she left on Saturday for a statewide tour. Now she

395
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: knew or her campaign that look, it's probably gonna look

396
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: a little suspicious if you're riding around all seventy two

397
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: counties or as many counties as you can possibly get

398
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: to on this statewide tour while you have kidney stones.

399
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: So what is her campaign?

400
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: Hey, they give a statement, it's politics dot Com say, oh,

401
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: this morning the judge's kidney stone past. She was able

402
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: to pass those kidney stones. So not only did the

403
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: kidney stones appear so she will be able to do

404
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: the debate that she really didn't want to do. The

405
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: kidney stones disappeared just in time for her to do

406
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: this statewide tour that she really did want to do

407
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: see how this works the most convenient kidney stones in

408
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: the history of Wisconsin politics.

409
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: You're listening to The Dano donald Show just how things

410
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: start going to referendums collection cycle to be shocked. Welcome

411
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 2: back to is Dan o donald's show.

412
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: We are aware of some processing issues as we are

413
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: on remote today, not at the home studios at iHeartMedia.

414
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: We're trying to clean those up in the meantime. We

415
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: do hope you'll bear with us here on The Dan o'

416
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: donald's show, so not just you. We do have some

417
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: issues with audio clipping, also sounding a bit temmy. We

418
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: are hoping to get that cleared up, hopefully by the

419
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: top of the hour. We will try to work on

420
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: some solution. So we do hope that you will stick

421
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: with us in spite of the bad audio. Right now,

422
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: we have amazing content. I can absolutely promise you that

423
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: how many different school districts are going to referendum right now,

424
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: As in, if you take part in the state's largest

425
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: early vote drive, you will very likely be voting for

426
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: a school referendum seventy two seventy two different referenda. If

427
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: you can believe that on Wisconsin's ballot.

428
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 2: Seventy two. Now this comes after one hundred and forty

429
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: two different school districts when to referendum during the twenty

430
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 2: twenty for election cycle. Now, why was that so much bigger?

431
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: Obviously because so many more people were turning out for

432
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: the November presidential election. And you have the school district

433
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: that believe that more people turning out means more Democrats,

434
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: means more people who are going to actually show up

435
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: for the referendum are.

436
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 2: Going to support the referendum.

437
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: Now, why this is just so remarkably praps, frankly, is because,

438
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: guess what, we already have fully funded schools. It is

439
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 1: the absolute biggest myth in Wisconsin that our schools are underfunded.

440
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: In fact, right now, per.

441
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: Pupil spending on K twelve education in Wisconsin, it is

442
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: at the highest level it has ever been. We are

443
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: spending more than seventeen thousand dollars per student.

444
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: Not only that, Governor ebers As I'm.

445
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: Sure you have heard me say on this show, used

446
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: his partial veto authority back in twenty twenty three to

447
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: extend a three hundred and twenty five dollars per pupil

448
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: per year increase in the revenue limits, not for two years,

449
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: as the legislature agreed to, but for four centuries until

450
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: the year twenty four, twenty five. The move was of

451
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: course upheld by the hacks on the Wisconsin Supreme Court,

452
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: and it led immediately to the biggest one year jump

453
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: in property taxes in three decades per pupil spending since

454
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: the year two thousand, just revenue that school districts get

455
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: in either property tax levees or state aid or some

456
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: combination thereup has more than doubled since two thousand.

457
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: Even though the student population to.

458
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: Our friends Wisconsin Manufacturers and Cars showed that the student

459
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: population in K twelve public schools since two thousand dropped

460
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: by sixty five thousand students, the number of teachers actually

461
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: did drop by twenty seven hundred. That would make sense

462
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: there are fewer teachers because there are fewer students that

463
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: they would need to educate, But non instructional staff during

464
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: that same time period ballooned by more than eight thousand positions,

465
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: with administrators alone up nearly seven hundred.

466
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: For every eight students lost.

467
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: Districts added one non teaching employee. For every teacher they cut,

468
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: they hired.

469
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: Three bureaucrats We're not in a funding crisis.

470
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: You're in Wisconsin, as Tony Ebers and the Democrats lead

471
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: us to believe, we're in a priorities crisis. Revenue limits

472
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: were meant to force fiscal discipline after decades of just

473
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: completely unchecked growth.

474
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: Governor us Vetos set us back well for one hundred years.

475
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: But it also didn't wave a magic wants, so it

476
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: didn't declining enrollment disappear, and in fact did the opposite

477
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: of what opposedly all of us want to control.

478
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: Administrative bloat. Districts keep coming back to.

479
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: The voters because they refuse to match their spending with

480
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: the reality of consistently declining student enrollment. Taxpayers aren't bottomless hits.

481
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: Property taxes already burden Wisconsin families fully, especially in rural

482
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: areas that are watching their schools. Strint and the constant

483
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: referendum shift the responsibility away from school boards and school administrators, superintendents,

484
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: district stafflished that should be streamlining the bureaucracy and improving efficiency,

485
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: focusing the resources on actual classroom instruction rather than growing

486
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: central office.

487
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 2: But that's exactly what's happening.

488
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: It's not as though the school district just magically wakes

489
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: up one morning because says, oh my goodness, we don't

490
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: have the money for a new air conditioning. You well,

491
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: you would if you have fifteen assistant principles at your

492
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: middle schools and high schools and three curriculum coordinators at

493
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: central office, each making seventy five thousand dollars more. And

494
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: that's the other myth that educators are not making enough money.

495
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: Teachers are not making enough money. Bureaucrats in the education establishment,

496
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: they're doing just fine, thank you very much, because they're

497
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: all making one hundred and twenty five hundred thirty thousand

498
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: dollars salaries. We actually, about a year ago or so,

499
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: maybe two years, in conjunction with MPs going to that

500
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million dollar referendum, actually took a

501
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: look at the salaries of central office staff at Milwaukee

502
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: Public School.

503
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: We found the average salary was something like one hundred

504
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 2: thousand dollars.

505
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 1: It was just the average teacher salary, and MPAs was

506
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: something like sixty thousand dollars even But bureaucrat at Central Office, now,

507
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 1: remember last twenty five years, we in cutting teachers who

508
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: make far money to hire more burrick rats who make

509
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: far more money. And at the same time, the school

510
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: districts were pleading property and people like Governor Ebers we

511
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: say no, no, no, we need more money.

512
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: We need more money, we need more money.

513
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: Will please explain to me how we have far viewer

514
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: students educate, we have far for teachers to pay, and

515
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: how have expenses go through the root You can say, well, inflation, data, price,

516
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: and everything has gone up in large.

517
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 4: That is true.

518
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: If really really need brand new football stadium, let's not

519
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: kid ourselves here, folks. Most of these randums are not

520
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: operating for randoms where the school district just doesn't have

521
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: enough money to pay stlorry, doesn't have enough money to

522
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: keep the lights. A lot of these are we want

523
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: to build a brand new field house for the basketball teams.

524
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: We want to build a brand new football locker room.

525
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 1: You've got foot stadiums in Wisconsin that look like college

526
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: stadiums at the local high school. Now, I'm not saying

527
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: that's necessarily bomb, but if you're going constantly to taxers

528
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: to say, hey, we need ten million dollars for this,

529
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: and then five years yars later you're saying, well, we

530
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: actually need an additional five ye five billion dollars because

531
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 1: the HVAC system isn't working. You've got a real serious

532
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: problem with your priorities because you didn't really need that

533
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: new football stadium. You really needed the HVAC system. When

534
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: we come back the unhind Liberal of the day, you're

535
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: listening to the.

536
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 2: Dan o don Show.

537
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,240
Speaker 4: Welcome back to the Dan o'donalds Show.

538
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 1: Conservative Thought, just talk coming up in the four o'clock hour.

539
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 1: Of course it is the really Trump date. We will

540
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: get an uid on what's going on with Operation Epic Fury. Also,

541
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: we are going to get back to local elections. Why

542
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: it is so important to cast your ballotevers veto is

543
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: a school choice bill as we we were just talking

544
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: about K twelve public education. Also Cosmon Tom Tiffany with

545
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: fantastic proposal that I think every single Wisconsin I can

546
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: get behind. What if we did away with emission testing?

547
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: Is it really necessary at all? We will discuss right

548
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: now though it is time to name the hinge liberty.

549
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: We are in pre Nazi Germany.

550
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 4: Trump is dangerous because he's evil.

551
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 2: America.

552
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: Today's unhinged Liberal of the day is none other than

553
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: Mandela Barnes, candidate for governor he said, believe it or not,

554
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: that he wants to sentence criminals to college.

555
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 6: The money he's been to incarcrate an individual like you

556
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 6: can pay significantly less money. I put a person in

557
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 6: a four year or even to take school to get

558
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 6: to or a further person's put the person in a

559
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 6: trade school.

560
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: Now, he was not saying, as some have alleged after

561
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: we put that exclusively on our X account. He was

562
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: not saying that, yes, we needed people to call it,

563
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: you know, the classic liberal tripe. No, this is in

564
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: direct reference to needing to cut down on the prison

565
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: population and how if someone is convicted it costs way

566
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: less to simply send them to college than it would

567
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: to send them to prison.

568
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 2: We will get into that.

569
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: In much greater depth coming up in the five o'clock hour.

570
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: Right now, suffice it to say, Mandela barns it your

571
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: unhinged live role of the day.

572
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 4: Serio wants to say, say, I've never understood this for liberals.

573
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to give away too much of what

574
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: we're going to be discussing in the five o'clock hour here,

575
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: but this does reveal some sort of deeper universal truth

576
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: I say about the political laugh and that is, they

577
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: fundamentally do not understand in nature, They fundamentally do not

578
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: understand that there are people who simply can't be rehabitated.

579
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: There are people who simply need to be taken out

580
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 1: of society for a period until they are actually able

581
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: to conform with society's rules. There's a reality to that

582
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: that just is never really accepted. So we will dive

583
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: into that coming up in the five o'clock hour. Coming

584
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: up next it is the Daily Trump Date. We are

585
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: going to get a look at what is going on

586
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: in President Trump's Washington and the TSA finally gets paid

587
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 1: and we finally finally may have some sort of break

588
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: on Democrat leverage in this DHS shutdown. Also all of

589
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: the latest on Operation Fury. We will also pick in

590
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,040

604
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 4: update now from the Trump administration. It is the daily

605
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 4: Trump Day. We're gonna win so much you may even

606
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 4: get tired of winning. Comp just keeps winning. It is

607
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 4: a win for the administration.

608
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: It's also a big win for the United States.

609
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 4: We have to keep winning. We have to win more.

610
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna win more.

611
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt today during her press briefing,

612
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: gave an update on Operation Episode.

613
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 3: With respect to the ongoing major combat operations in Iran,

614
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 3: Operation Epic Fury is moving ahead successfully and according to plan.

615
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 3: With each passing day, the United States military is increasing

616
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 3: its advantage over the terrorist Iranian regime. More than eleven

617
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 3: thousand enemy targets have been struck to date, each strike

618
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 3: further crippling the regime's offensive and defensive capabilities and creating

619
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 3: more leverage for the United States and our allies. Compared

620
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 3: to the start of the operation, Iran's ballistic, missile and

621
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 3: drone attacks are down by roughly ninety percent. The United

622
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 3: States is also decimating the Iranian regime's navy. We have

623
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 3: destroyed more than one hundred and fifty of their naval

624
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 3: vessels so far, including ninety two percent of their largest vessels.

625
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 3: The Iranian navy has no vessels operating in major regional

626
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 3: water rays and no ability to project naval power, which

627
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 3: is why they've been assessed as combat ineffective.

628
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 4: As a result of that, Levitt said, today Iran is

629
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 4: desperately trying to negotiate its way out of this. I said,

630
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 4: a Trump is not the desperate one. She said, the

631
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 4: Iranian regime, or more accurately stated, what's left of the

632
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 4: Iranian regime is.

633
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 3: That it's no surprise that we are seeing the remaining

634
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 3: elements of the regime become increasingly eager to end the

635
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 3: destruction and come to the negotiating table while they still can.

636
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 3: Despite all of the public posturing you hear from the

637
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 3: regime and false reporting, talks are continuing and going well.

638
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 3: What is said publicly is of course, much different than

639
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 3: what's being communicated to us privately. As a result, President

640
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 3: Trump issued a ten day pause to postpone plan strikes

641
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 3: on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. This remains a

642
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 3: truly once in a generation opportunity for the regime to

643
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 3: make a good deal with the United States permanently abandon

644
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 3: their nuclear ambitions and stop acting as the world's leading

645
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 3: state sponsor of terrorism.

646
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 4: It remains to be seen whether they will do so.

647
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 4: While Secretary of State Marco Rubio took the message directly

648
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 4: to the people of Iran, going on Al Jazeera today

649
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 4: to pledge that the Strait of Hormuz will be open,

650
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: that Iran will not maintain control over it, and that

651
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 4: the free flow of goods and oil will receive.

652
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 5: The straight to Hormus will be open. When this operation

653
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 5: is over, it will be open, and it will be

654
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 5: open one way or another. It will be open because

655
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 5: Iran agrees to abide by international law and not block

656
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 5: the commercial waterway, or a coalition of nations from around

657
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 5: the world and the region, with a participation of the

658
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 5: United States will make sure that it's open. One way

659
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 5: or the other. It's going to be open. But we

660
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 5: have very clear objectives that we're trying to achieve here.

661
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 5: Those objectives are the destruction of their air force, which

662
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 5: has been achieved, the destruction of their navy, which has

663
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 5: largely been achieved, a significant reduction in the number of

664
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 5: missile launchers that they have, which we're well on our

665
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 5: way to achieving. And we are going to destroy the

666
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 5: factories that make those missiles and those drones that they

667
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 5: are using to attack their neighbors and the United States

668
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 5: and our presence.

669
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 2: In the region.

670
00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 4: Rubio reiterated that the United states Is position with respect

671
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 4: to Iran is the exact same that it always has been.

672
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 4: Abandon all nuclear ambitions and submit to constantly the.

673
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 5: Rain Numbergin can never have nuclear weapons, and they need

674
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 5: to stop sponsoring terrorism, and they need to stop building

675
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 5: weapons that can threaten their neighbors. These short range missiles

676
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 5: that they're launching, they only have one purpose, and that

677
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 5: is to attack Saudi Arabia and the UAE and Qatar

678
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 5: and Kuwait and Bahrain. That is the range of these weapons,

679
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 5: and they have thousands of them. They've built extraordinary numbers

680
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 5: of them, and not to mention their desire to have

681
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 5: this nuclear weapon to threaten and blackmail the world with

682
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 5: that will never be allowed to happen.

683
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 2: It's too great a risk.

684
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 4: That, ladies and gentlemen, is your daily Trump date. Now,

685
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 4: if there's one thing that the Iran conflict has done

686
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 4: on American market sits injects a whole lot of uncertainty.

687
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 4: In fact, today the S and T five hundred just

688
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 4: entered correction territor. What exactly does that mean? We bring

689
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 4: in Dave Spono, he is the CEO of Annex Wealth

690
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 4: Management and Daves obviously it has been a wild couple

691
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 4: of months on the stock market. But now that we're

692
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 4: in correction territory, is this something that really we should

693
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 4: be worried about or is this just kind of a

694
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,959
Speaker 4: fluctuation that you see with such a substantial global event.

695
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think there's a couple of things happening here. Dan,

696
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 7: First of all, thanks for having me on. Number One

697
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 7: is that there certainly is enough to worry about for

698
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 7: certain and it's not just the fact what's happening with Iran,

699
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 7: it is are we seeing a global slowdown? And that's

700
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 7: one of the bigger concerns, is that you know, at

701
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 7: some point you're going to get a resolution to the

702
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 7: straits of her moves. But you know, do you have

703
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 7: some real damage, some infrastructural damage that has happened to

704
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 7: the stock market as we go into care direction territory.

705
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 7: You know, one of the things that's really important to

706
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 7: understand is this is really playing right on the path.

707
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 7: Stand you know, you look at the second year of

708
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 7: a presidential election. We went all the way back to

709
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 7: nineteen sixty two, the average correction in the mid term

710
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 7: election year has been down nineteen percent. Now we're only

711
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 7: down ten. Yes, that has been the average every year

712
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 7: that there has been a draw down. In fact that

713
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 7: we have it going back to nineteen sixty two, that's

714
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 7: the average. And in fact, in twenty twenty two, you'll

715
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 7: remember we were down twenty five percent. Twenty eighteen we

716
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 7: were down twenty percent. The good news from that point

717
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 7: is the recoveries are substantial. In twenty nineteen, you know,

718
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 7: from from you mark to bottom, they were up thirty

719
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,439
Speaker 7: seven percent, and in twenty twenty two into twenty three

720
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 7: up twenty two percent. That's a lot of math, I understand.

721
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 7: The point being is that you do get a correction

722
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 7: in a midterm election. We're getting one here. The second

723
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 7: quarter is the hardest. We're probably gonna get a resolution

724
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 7: to the streets of her moves at some point, and

725
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 7: that opens the door for a nice recovery.

726
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,840
Speaker 4: Now this actually I did not know that about the

727
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 4: market corrections going back to nineteen sixty two. But certainly

728
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 4: I think this ties into the political aspect of this,

729
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 4: in that a president's party usually gets decimated in the

730
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 4: first midterm after he's elected. So if you're saying that

731
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 4: there is in the second year of a presidency there's

732
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 4: been an average downturn of nineteen percent, well, that has

733
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 4: the tendency of putting voters in a real bad mood.

734
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,280
Speaker 4: So we always talk about Dave the intersection of politics

735
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 4: and economics. It really seems like this is quite literally it.

736
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's no doubt about that, the fact that you're

737
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 7: going to have that happen, and generally presidents try to

738
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 7: juice the market in their second year, their midterm year,

739
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 7: for there's a number of ways that you can do that.

740
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 7: You know, there was a lot of liquidity before the

741
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 7: Iran conflict erupted, and that liquidity was coming from tax

742
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 7: refunds number one. Number two, we were looking for lower

743
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 7: interest rates from the Federal Reserve. At this point, they're

744
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 7: going to stand pat at least in the near term

745
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 7: until we see some more clarity on both jobs and inflation.

746
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 7: And the third comes really from trying to get that

747
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 7: fock market to move forward. Their earnings are expected to

748
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 7: be up sixteen percent year over year. Those are really

749
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 7: good and that's really what's going to keep the market

750
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 7: bullied in the short term. I know there's a lot

751
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 7: of naysayers out there, Dan right now to talk about

752
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 7: the fact that I saw something on the Sunday Morning

753
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 7: talk shows yesterday that talked about a global depression. One

754
00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 7: of the Sunday Morning authors said that, So that is

755
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 7: really you have to look through that. You have to

756
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 7: look through past all of these things, Dan, and understand

757
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 7: that there is going to be recovery. Neither you nor I,

758
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 7: nor anyone else knows when that bottom is coming, but

759
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 7: it's now. The time is you get your positions ready

760
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 7: to say what is going to recover? What positions should

761
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 7: I be in?

762
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 4: Should I be?

763
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 7: You know, if I got from seventy thirty down to

764
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 7: a fifty to fifty, should I rebalance. These are all

765
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 7: the things that a good wealth manager should be doing

766
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 7: for you.

767
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 4: And this is why you need to talk to a

768
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 4: good wealth manager. The folks that Annex Wealth Management can

769
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 4: certainly help you work with someone who's working with and

770
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 4: for you as a fee only fiduciary at annexwealth dot Com.

771
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 4: Dave Spono, as always we do thank you for your time.

772
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 4: Is that is honestly fascinating what Dave said that the

773
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 4: average downturn in an interm election year since nineteen sixty

774
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 4: two is nineteen percent. I think that is, honest to goodness.

775
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 4: Why we always see because it's just sort of for

776
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 4: people like me who just you know, study politics and

777
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 4: it's our life, and we hear these axioms, we hear

778
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 4: these political truths like, oh, well, the president party always

779
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 4: loses big time in a mid term election. It's always

780
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 4: a wipeout. In fact, the one time it wasn't in

781
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 4: the last century within the two thousand and two midterms,

782
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 4: and obviously the biggest reason for that was because nine

783
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 4: to eleven had just happened, and Democrats revealed themselves over

784
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 4: the following year to be not quite trustworthy on the

785
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 4: issue that mattered most to people the only issue that

786
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 4: mattered to people, which was national security. Every other year

787
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 4: the president's party has just gotten crushed. Now it's been

788
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 4: a lot worse when the president wins the presidency. So

789
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 4: the first mid term of a president's term, the effect

790
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 4: is generally a little bit more muted. In the second midterm.

791
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 4: For example, Barack Obama had a full eight year stretch.

792
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 4: His party got absolutely destroyed in the mid terms of

793
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 4: twenty ten. That was the notorious red Wave year. You

794
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,760
Speaker 4: had I believe b Arco Rubio, Ted Cruz swept into office.

795
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 4: You had Republicans winning everywhere. Remember this was as a

796
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 4: result of Obamacare and people just being deeply dissatisfied with that.

797
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 4: A Republican by the name of Scott Brown actually won

798
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 4: a Senate seat in Massachusetts. It was a special election

799
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 4: after Ted Kennedy had died midway through two thousand and nine.

800
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 4: Brown stood for election for a full term that fall,

801
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 4: and of course got smoked by Elizabeth Warren. But for

802
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 4: almost a full year Massachusetts was represented in the Senate

803
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 4: by a Republican. Because of the anger over Obama, especially

804
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 4: the anger over Obamacare. But while we talk about this,

805
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 4: and while we talk about this political truism. We always

806
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 4: have just sort of assumed that it's because of anger,

807
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 4: its voter anger that their party had just lost the

808
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 4: presidential race. Well, this data that Spano brought up seems

809
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 4: to suggest that that's not the only reason. I still

810
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 4: think that's probably the biggest reason that you have people

811
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 4: who are just so upset. I mean, democrats, just look

812
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 4: no further than twenty eighteen. The twenty eighteen midterm elections

813
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 4: was a classic example. Now, yes, Republicans have been mad

814
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 4: that their party lost, and you know, they react to

815
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 4: the new president's policies, just like I mentioned in twenty ten.

816
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 4: But we never saw hate like we saw for Donald Trump.

817
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 4: I mean the concoction of the Russia Gate scandal. You know,

818
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 4: now ten years in, we're just sort of used to

819
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 4: this hair on fire screeching. Now it seems that the

820
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 4: Epstein files is the new Russia Gate, where Democrats just

821
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 4: say Trump is a pedophile protector without any actual evidence,

822
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 4: or they say he's a pedophile himself without any actual evidence,

823
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 4: just as easily as they said nearly a decade ago

824
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 4: that Trump is a secret Russian agent, no evidence for

825
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 4: any of it, but they said it any way because

826
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 4: it had an impact. Well, those Democrats were so furious

827
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 4: because it was so shocking that Trump had actually won

828
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 4: in the first place. It was so shocking that it

829
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 4: was the biggest upset in American political history, Donald Trump

830
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 4: beating Hillary. There's not one person yours truly included, who

831
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 4: thought that Trump was actually going to win. This was

832
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 4: Dewey defeats Truman by a factor of ten. That there's

833
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,800
Speaker 4: never been an upset like it. As a result, Democrats

834
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:34,320
Speaker 4: were shocked, no real reason, no real surprise. I should

835
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 4: say that they were so angry that they went to

836
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 4: the polls in record numbers. Well, what Republicans now, especially

837
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 4: here in Wisconsin, have to sort of counteract is the

838
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 4: fact that in the era of Trump, that sort of

839
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 4: hair on fire, constant state of agitation and just sheer

840
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 4: rage never really went away. And the fact when we

841
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 4: come back here on the Data Donald's show, I'm going

842
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,720
Speaker 4: to expand on that. I'm going to talk a little

843
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 4: in greater depth about voter turnout, why it's so big

844
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 4: in places like Madison. Stay tuned, welcome back to it again.

845
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,479
Speaker 4: We do apologize we got to go a little old

846
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 4: school here. We had such issues with our stream. I

847
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 4: am out of the studio today and unfortunately, the connection

848
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 4: it's not really an equipment issue. It's more of an

849
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 4: Internet connectivity issue. I don't want to bore you with

850
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 4: the details, but as a result of that, we're doing

851
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,280
Speaker 4: this old school. It's sort of like the Alexander Graham

852
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 4: Bell radio shows. I've got to do it over the phone.

853
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 4: Not ideal, I realized. I promise though we do have

854
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 4: a fixed Tomorrow's show will be one hundred percent better.

855
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 4: It'll sound just fine. Just bear with me today because Philli,

856
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 4: it's not about the sound quality, right, It's all about

857
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 4: the content. And trust me, folks, we have got a

858
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 4: ton of great content for you, plus an update they

859
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 4: love or more founded like it didn't it h oh

860
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 4: my goodness. Yeah. You know. It's one of those things

861
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 4: when when you deal in a somewhat high tech industry,

862
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 4: believe it or not, as much as radio, which is

863
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 4: by far the oldest broadcasting medium going back more than

864
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 4: one hundred years. Now, we do have a whole lot

865
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 4: of high tech stuff. You know. We on the O'donald's

866
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 4: show do live streams, We do all manner of stuff,

867
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 4: but sometimes things break down. It's good to do old school.

868
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 4: In fact, someone's texting on the event nose dot com

869
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 4: talk and text line. I like this. It's like old school.

870
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 4: It sounds like Marconi's radio that you're broadcasting on, So

871
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 4: I thank you, dear listener. We were talking about the

872
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 4: rage that they're known as the out party, the party

873
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 4: that does not control the White House. So in politics,

874
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 4: the out party is in midterm elections typically one that

875
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 4: cleans up because their voters are just so angry and

876
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 4: just so motivated to vote. Well, we saw that in

877
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 4: the era of Trump, and especially here in Wisconsin. I've

878
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 4: kind of been working on some data and sort of

879
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 4: an overall theory about just how much the election of

880
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 4: Donald Trump in twenty sixteen changed everything in Wisconsin. It

881
00:55:56,280 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 4: really did force a political realignment of sorts, wherein the

882
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 4: reliable Wow counties of Waukesha, Ozaki and Washington Counties can

883
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 4: no longer be counted on to counteract the just massive

884
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 4: voter turnout in the state's two big population hubs, the

885
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 4: two areas where Democrats live almost exclusively, Milwaukee and Madison.

886
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 4: Milwaukee County and Dane County typically would be counteracted in

887
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 4: state elections like this Wow, waukeshaw, Ozaki, and Washington would

888
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 4: essentially counteract the city of Milwaukee. The rest of the

889
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:44,720
Speaker 4: state would counteract Dane County. That no longer happens because

890
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,240
Speaker 4: you no longer have the strength in the Waw counties

891
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 4: to be able to keep up with Milwaukee. Even as

892
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 4: Milwaukee's vote totals have declined by a good amount, not

893
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 4: nearly as much as Republican votes in the Waw counties,

894
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:02,439
Speaker 4: they're still getting. Republicans will still get sixty sixty five

895
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:06,120
Speaker 4: percent of the vote in Wake Shot, but that's nothing

896
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 4: like they used to get in the Scott Walker era,

897
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 4: where they would get seventy seventy five percent of the vote.

898
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 4: The biggest issue now is Dane County. Dane County voters

899
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 4: turn out in every single election. That was the thing

900
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 4: that Republicans used to be known for. It didn't matter

901
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,439
Speaker 4: what the election was, it didn't matter what the stakes were,

902
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 4: Republican voters would be there. Now Democrat voters in Dane

903
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 4: County are there. The biggest reason for this is because

904
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 4: Democrats are no longer reliant on lower propensity voters. If

905
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 4: you've noticed in the era of Trump, we have seen

906
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 4: unprecedented movement by black inner city voters and Hispanic voters

907
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 4: away from the Democrat Party over to Republicans than Trump

908
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 4: and Hispanic voters aren't always going to vote. They'll vote

909
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 4: in presidential years, and all the data backs this up.

910
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 4: They'll vote in presidential years, but they are not nearly

911
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 4: as reliable in midterm elections here in Wisconsin, gubernatorial elections,

912
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 4: and certainly not the spring elections. And we actually had

913
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 4: a study that was done just a couple of days

914
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 4: ago by the Institute for Reforming Government, our great friends there.

915
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 4: They did a focus group on why it is that

916
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 4: conservative voters aren't turning out in these spring elections. They're

917
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 4: not turning out in the gubernatorial elections like they used to,

918
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 4: and they say, quite simply, they don't believe that policies

919
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 4: in Madison affect them like policies in Washington do. That

920
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 4: is actually the exact same thing that Democrats used to

921
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,920
Speaker 4: say when the Democrat Party here in Wisconsin was fretting

922
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 4: about why they weren't turning out in midterm elections in

923
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 4: state supreme court elections. It's almost remarkable, but over the

924
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 4: last quarter century, Republicans were typically the party that would

925
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 4: dominate governor's elections, and they would dominate in spring elections.

926
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 4: Presidential elections we couldn't win. George W. Bush lost twice,

927
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 4: won very very narrowly, even though he won the presidency twice.

928
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 4: Barack Obama absolutely destroyed the competition. In Wisconsin's typically at

929
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 4: swing state. Obama won a substantial portion of the vote.

930
00:59:29,160 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 4: Joe Biden one Trump broke the mold by winning two

931
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 4: of three elections here. That was a typical and driven

932
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:40,920
Speaker 4: I am convinced largely by this movement of the lower

933
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 4: propensity voters in Milwaukee, in Racine, typically Hispanic voters. You

934
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 4: now have forty six forty seven percent of Hispanic voters

935
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 4: now identifying as Republicans. If it gets any higher, you

936
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 4: will see Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi down building the

937
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 4: border wall themselves. Okay, it's a funny thing. Happened on

938
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 4: the way to Democrats believing that they were just going

939
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 4: to control the future because of so much Hispanic migration. Well,

940
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 4: a lot of the legal Hispanic residents are deeply resentful

941
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 4: of illegal immigrants coming into the country, competing with them

942
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 4: for jobs and essentially giving them a bad rep Not

943
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 4: only that they view the Democrat Party much like a

944
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 4: whole lot of people in this listening audience, as crazy.

945
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 4: One thing about Hispanic voters is they are typically very religious.

946
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 4: They are typically very family and faith based. They are

947
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 4: typically very traditional, especially Hispanic male voters. They are very

948
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 4: much motivated by strength, by protection of the family, national security,

949
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 4: that sort of thing, I believe. Traditionally it has been

950
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 4: called in Hispanic culture machismo and is there any human

951
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 4: being on earth who projects more machismo than Donald Trump.

952
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 4: They turn out for him, just as rural white voters

953
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 4: who are typically in the far flung corners of the state,

954
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 4: they will turn out for Trump but nobody else. Democrats, meanwhile,

955
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 4: have perfected ballot harvesting operations data micro targeting, where they

956
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 4: are able to identify every single Democrat voter or potential

957
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 4: voter in Madison. Because most of them live in a

958
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 4: very small little area around the capitol, on the UW

959
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 4: campus or nearby, they don't have to work as hard

960
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 4: to get these people out to vote. Republicans geographically have

961
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 4: to work very very difficult to get their only Trump

962
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 4: voters out to the polls because so many Libs are

963
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 4: now moving into Waukaschack cout just look at you want

964
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:03,439
Speaker 4: to talk about a local race that is really going

965
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 4: to be sort of indicative of where southeast Wisconsin is going,

966
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 4: the Brookfield Mayor's race. There is a dide in the

967
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 4: wool left wing crazy by the name of Mike Halquist.

968
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 4: We reported on his rather obvious conflict of interest a

969
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago. He's running against the longtime incumbent

970
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 4: Conservative mayor, Steve Ponto. Ten years ago, Tonto would win

971
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 4: with seventy percent of the vote. Right now, he's still

972
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 4: got to be considered a favorite because Brookfield is still

973
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 4: I would say sixty forty conservative, maybe fifty five forty five.

974
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 4: But Mike Halquist is a legitimate threat to become the

975
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 4: next mayor of Brookfield. That's representative of the fact that

976
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 4: you have had liberals sort of out migrating from Milwaukee.

977
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 4: They realize that Milwaukee is a poorly run city. In

978
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 4: the extreme, crime is out of control, you have schools

979
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 4: that are failing, and they move west and take their

980
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 4: policies with them. Well where did they move? They moved

981
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 4: out to Wawatosa. Wahwatosa went from being a red conservative

982
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 4: bastion thirty years ago to now one of the wokest

983
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 4: suburbs in all of Wisconsin. That's because lefties ruining Milwaukee

984
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 4: moved out to Wawatosa, brought their politics with them, ruined Wawatosa. Well,

985
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 4: then they realized, Hey, the Wahwatosa School District isn't what

986
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 4: it used to be. There's a lot of crime here

987
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 4: and we really don't like it. Let's move out to Brookfield.

988
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 4: And now they're in the process of doing that, and

989
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 4: on and on it goes. So that helps explain leftward migration.

990
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 4: Why it is that the wawe counties aren't nearly as

991
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 4: reliably red as they used to be. Dane County and

992
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 4: to some extent, Milwaukee County as well, but really Dane

993
01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 4: County has been growing by leaps and bounds. Madison is

994
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 4: sort of like the Austin, Texas of the Midwest. It

995
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 4: is just a Berkeley in the middle of the farmland

996
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 4: or down in Texas. It's Berkeley down in the middle

997
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 4: of the cattle ranch, a big university town, the capital city,

998
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 4: and the population just exploded because Austin, like Madison, is

999
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 4: a naturally, very very beautiful city. It's just a wonderful city.

1000
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 4: You have people now who just are going to the

1001
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 4: university and not leaving. Not only that, you have epic

1002
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 4: systems importing tons and tons and tons of workers, the

1003
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 4: ones who actually can vote. I am told, Epic brings

1004
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 4: in a notoriously large number of h one B visas

1005
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 4: to do the work that Americans would otherwise do. But

1006
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 4: you've got a lot of people coming into Madison, and

1007
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 4: it's not just that they're angry and they're motivated to

1008
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 4: vote which they are, which they are, They are also

1009
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 4: being able to be counted, being led to the polls.

1010
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 4: What we saw with mail in ballots that in twenty

1011
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 4: twenty spiking to over two hundred thousand, people just kind

1012
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 4: of get mail in ballots every single election, whether they

1013
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 4: request them or not. People still don't believe me when

1014
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 4: I tell them that if you sign up to be

1015
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 4: indefinitely confined, if you did that before or during the

1016
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 4: COVID nineteen pandemic, you just get ballots mailed to you

1017
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 4: every single election. Now, the realist in me would say, well,

1018
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 4: how do we know that the people who are getting

1019
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 4: sent the ballots of the people who are filling out

1020
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 4: the ballots. The reality is that we really don't, okay,

1021
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,919
Speaker 4: but what we do understand is that a whole lot

1022
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 4: of Dane County is voting. Not only that we are

1023
01:05:54,240 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 4: seeing a fundamental shift in who a the older people

1024
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 4: in America are voting for, and also who that generation

1025
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 4: of soccer moms or post nine to eleven they were

1026
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 4: called the security moms, they are actually gone. And I

1027
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 4: think that is completely a reaction to Donald Trump. And

1028
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 4: you know what, we're running way late for a break.

1029
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 4: I understand that we're going to step aside, but I

1030
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 4: want to keep this goal. We've got a number of

1031
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 4: other great stories coming up, and including what I think

1032
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:30,920
Speaker 4: is the best policy proposal possibly in a decade. Congressman

1033
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 4: Tom Tiffany, the presumptive Republican nominee, said, why do we

1034
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 4: even need emissions tests? Let's just get rid of them.

1035
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 4: I couldn't agree more, Serpent. I want to keep this

1036
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 4: discussion going because I think it's.

1037
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 1: Something that everybody needs to understand about the changing demographics

1038
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 1: in the Donald Trump and now post.

1039
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 8: On my work, well next gen attitude, but decidedly old

1040
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 8: school equipment.

1041
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 4: Today. We do apologize we have had some serious broadcast

1042
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:09,680
Speaker 4: issues while trying to broadcast remotely, so we are on

1043
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 4: the phone. But you know what, it's all right because

1044
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 4: it's content that is king, not necessarily the delivery mechanism.

1045
01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:22,160
Speaker 4: Big shout out to my producer Doug back at the

1046
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 4: studio for true We have tried, folks. I wish you

1047
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 4: could have seen Doug and I frantically trying to get

1048
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 4: the audio at every commercial break, like literally as soon

1049
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 4: as the music plays to go to commercial until the

1050
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 4: bumper music coming back from commercial play. We are like

1051
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 4: frantically trying about a million different things to try to

1052
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:46,080
Speaker 4: get the sound quality better. Ultimately, I know it does

1053
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 4: not sound great on a cell phone, and I would

1054
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 4: love to be brought I would love to have like

1055
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 4: a cup attached to a rope and you listening on

1056
01:07:56,640 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 4: another cup rather than being on a cell phone to

1057
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 4: broadcast on a fifty thousand watt radio station. Tomorrow, don't worry,

1058
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 4: we are back to normal. Everything will be fine. It's

1059
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 4: going to sound fantastic, I promise. Getting back to what

1060
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 4: hopefully is a fascinating the discussion. I'm fascinated by this anyway,

1061
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 4: just the changing voter demographics. Wisconsin is still a purple state, yes,

1062
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 4: and anybody who pronounces one way or another. No, no, no,

1063
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 4: it's going to just go Republican from here on out.

1064
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 4: There were people who are saying that in the Scott

1065
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 4: Walker era, when it seemed like Republicans couldn't lose. Democrats

1066
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 4: now after they've won the last two last three state

1067
01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 4: Supreme Court races by ten points each last year and

1068
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three for control of the court, and in

1069
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 4: twenty twenty in an admittedly screwy election, we were like

1070
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 4: the only state that ran an election right after COVID

1071
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 4: nineteen hit, which obviously was the correct decision, even though

1072
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:06,839
Speaker 4: it was widely mocked by hypochondriac Libs who were convinced

1073
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 4: that everybody was going to die. Do you remember that

1074
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 4: we actually did the math. I waited two weeks after

1075
01:09:14,200 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 4: the eleventh, which I believe might have actually also been

1076
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 4: on April seventh, if memory serves that. We were told

1077
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 4: there was just going to be this massive spike in

1078
01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 4: COVID cases and deaths because people were going out to vote. Well,

1079
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 4: I actually deliberately waited two weeks. No, there was no

1080
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 4: spike whatsoever, The election had no impacts on COVID nineteen,

1081
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 4: and then everybody just sort of forgot that. You had

1082
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:42,160
Speaker 4: Jim Carvill on CNN saying people are gonna die because

1083
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 4: they're holding this election. And honest to God, this is

1084
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 4: what Wisconsin libs were telling us. People would die. The

1085
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 4: Republican Party of Wisconsin was going to kill people because

1086
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 4: they dared to allow them to vote. But it didn't

1087
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 4: ultimately matter. Dan Kelly got smoked by Joe Kurowski by

1088
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:02,960
Speaker 4: about ten point. He ran again three years later, and

1089
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 4: he lost by an even bigger margin to Janet Protus Sailings.

1090
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 4: So something clearly has happened here. Wisconsin has gone blue

1091
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 4: in pretty much every election that's not a presidential election.

1092
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 4: What is the reason for that? Well, A big reason,

1093
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 4: as I've talked about at length, is demographics. A whole

1094
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 4: lot of the so called Scott Walker coalition, the boomer

1095
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 4: and older voters who swept Walker into power. They were

1096
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 4: also Tommy Thompson's voter. Say, you folks are always say

1097
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 4: I'm down on the boomers. No, I'm down on the

1098
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 4: Boomer Libs. Boomer Libs are terrible. I always say Boomer

1099
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 4: conservatives are like the coolest people on earth. They're the

1100
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:45,960
Speaker 4: ones who are going to be shotgunning a Miller Lite

1101
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 4: at Brewers Opening Day and then ripping a Marble Red

1102
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 4: before taking off on their harley. I mean, it doesn't

1103
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,560
Speaker 4: get much cooler than that. Boomer Conservatives, you are like

1104
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 4: the best people on earth. I love you. You gotta

1105
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 4: do something about the Boomer Libs, though, because for the

1106
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 4: first time in generations, Democrats are winning a bigger percentage

1107
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 4: of senior citizens than expected. Now senior citizens overwhelmingly, overwhelmingly

1108
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 4: boomers and above, they are voting Republican. Democrats have made

1109
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 4: sizable inroads in the era of Trump with older voters.

1110
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 4: Big reason for that, I am convinced, is the same

1111
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 4: reason that younger women are increasingly becoming Democrats. Younger women

1112
01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 4: like twenty twenty five, they're just radicalized, like they are

1113
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 4: fully indoctrinated by left wing socialism. And in fact, I

1114
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,639
Speaker 4: can tell you not just from polling data, but also

1115
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 4: from firsthand experience with younger generation than that that conservative male.

1116
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 4: As you know, I coach a whole lot of soccer

1117
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 4: teams and have gotten to know a whole lot of

1118
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 4: my son's friends as a result of that. That generation

1119
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 4: coming up is about the most right wing conservative generation

1120
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 4: that has ever been the men the women or girls.

1121
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 4: They're about as liberal as again, we've never I don't

1122
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 4: think seen such a disconnect within a genders or within

1123
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:28,919
Speaker 4: a generation between the genders as we've seen in this generation.

1124
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 4: Big reason for that. Who is most responsive to personality

1125
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 4: in politics? Women?

1126
01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 8: Right?

1127
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 4: Women are typically relational men when they communicate their transactional

1128
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 4: or their confrontational meaning. Their communication is about getting some

1129
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:55,840
Speaker 4: sort of information, or expressing some sort of opinion, or

1130
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 4: competing with another matter just how we are fellas. Women

1131
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 4: are much more empathetic, so their conversation and their way

1132
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 4: of thinking is relational. My brother, right after Trump was

1133
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 4: first elector I think after Trump was emerged as the

1134
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 4: Republican nominee, he said, women hate Trump. They says stuck

1135
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 4: with me for a decade. He said, women hate Trump

1136
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 4: because he reminds them of their ex husbands. The reason

1137
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 4: that stuck with me is because it is so undoubtedly true. Women.

1138
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 4: Trump just rubs a ton of younger women and older

1139
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 4: women the wrong way. Not only that men of Trump's generation,

1140
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 4: the baby Boom generation. He him as sort of like

1141
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 4: this bombastic, rich kid that they kind of still resent

1142
01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 4: all these years later now don't get me wrong. Overwhelming

1143
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:57,559
Speaker 4: majority of senior citizens are voting for Trump, but there

1144
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,520
Speaker 4: is an increasing majority who are not, who are abandoning

1145
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 4: the Republican Party. And that is a reality that has

1146
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 4: real down ballot consequences because those female voters who were

1147
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 4: reliable Republicans once, those senior citizen voters who are reliably

1148
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 4: Republican once, or at least in much greater numbers, they

1149
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 4: vote all the time. They are high propensity voters. In

1150
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 4: the last four elections, which is how propensity to vote

1151
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 4: is measured, they are voting in three of the last

1152
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:31,760
Speaker 4: four state wide elections or all four of the last

1153
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 4: state wide elections. Democrats, therefore, are less reliant on the

1154
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:44,520
Speaker 4: less reliable black, Hispanic and lower income, rural and exurban

1155
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 4: working class white voters who may only show up for

1156
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 4: a presidential election, may only show up every four years,

1157
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 4: and don't show up in these down ballot races. It

1158
01:14:57,160 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 4: is a fascinating gliph where we are and where I

1159
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:07,160
Speaker 4: think demographics is taking us. During Wisconsin and o'donald show,

1160
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:17,200
Speaker 4: come right now, Classical conservatism and contemporary style. Welcome back

1161
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 4: to the Dan o'donald Show again. Apologies for the audio quality.

1162
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,000
Speaker 4: We have had a heck of a time trying to

1163
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:27,680
Speaker 4: get everything working as we are out on remote. It's

1164
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:31,600
Speaker 4: more of a bandwidth issue, internet issue as opposed to

1165
01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 4: a hardware issue. But we do think we have it

1166
01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:38,080
Speaker 4: solved too late for today's show. Tomorrow, we will be

1167
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 4: back to sounding as beautiful as we always do. Coming

1168
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 4: up next hour on the Dan o'donald Show. You are

1169
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:47,520
Speaker 4: not going to want to miss this. It is an exclusive.

1170
01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:52,160
Speaker 4: We have audio from a recent appearance of Mandela Barnes,

1171
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:56,160
Speaker 4: one of the leading candidates for governor of Wisconsin, talking

1172
01:15:56,240 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 4: about how instead of sentencing people to prison, he wants

1173
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 4: to sentence them to college or trade school. Yes, he

1174
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 4: actually did say that, and no he was not talking about, well,

1175
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,439
Speaker 4: we need to have we need to break the school

1176
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:14,640
Speaker 4: to prison pipeline and we need to open up a

1177
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 4: more opportunity. He was saying, no, instead of sending people

1178
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 4: to prison, let's send them to colleges. Let's send them

1179
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 4: to trade schools instead of actually being punished for their crimes.

1180
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:27,720
Speaker 4: You are not going to want to miss this. It

1181
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 4: is a Dan o'donald's show exclusive, and it is coming

1182
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 4: up right after the five o'clock news, Dan o'donnald on

1183
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 4: a cell phone, Dan o'donald on a cell phone. That's

1184
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 4: how we roll here on the Dan o'donald Show. Now

1185
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,599
Speaker 4: we're sort of like the post office, only we actually deliver.

1186
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 4: I'm kidding. I know, I've got a ton of post

1187
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 4: office listeners, postal workers listen to me on their route,

1188
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 4: and I'm teas and I'm teasing. And just like you,

1189
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 4: neither rain nor sleep, nor dark of night, nor complete

1190
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 4: lack of Skinnternet connection while we are out on remote

1191
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 4: can keep me from broadcasting three hours of broadcast competence.

1192
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 4: I think we're slightly below broadcast competence, at least with

1193
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 4: the delivery of the show. Basically, what it comes down to, folks,

1194
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:30,759
Speaker 4: is where I am has an unreliable Wi Fi network

1195
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 4: and there's no Ethernet connection, you know, a wired internet connection.

1196
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 4: It is almost impossible to transmit audio live using the

1197
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 4: equipment that we have using Wi Fi. It's just it's

1198
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,439
Speaker 4: not fast enough. That's why you were hearing in the

1199
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 4: first hour before we just switched over and said, you

1200
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:52,559
Speaker 4: know what, screw it, I guess we got to put

1201
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 4: down on a cell phone. That's basically the reason why.

1202
01:17:56,320 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 4: And I do apologize if you know, my producer does.

1203
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,600
Speaker 4: And this is how much I love my producers. This

1204
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 4: poor guy is going to the Bahamas. Is it's the

1205
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:12,679
Speaker 4: Bahamas tomorrow, right, Doug? Yeah, yeah, the Bahamas tomorrow tomorrow

1206
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:15,840
Speaker 4: for a spring break trip with his wife. So of

1207
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 4: course the last show he does, his last day before vacation,

1208
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 4: is all screwed up. But he has been rolling with

1209
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 4: the punches and he has been keeping us on the air,

1210
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 4: and we really do appreciate that. From Doug all right,

1211
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 4: top story is that we are following right now. We

1212
01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:39,200
Speaker 4: are now just a week and a day from the

1213
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:44,720
Speaker 4: spring election. Supreme Court candidate Chris Taylor miraculously cured of

1214
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:48,160
Speaker 4: the kidney stone that kept her from debating last week.

1215
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:51,160
Speaker 4: She is on a statewide tour. Mariel az Are, her

1216
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 4: conservative opponent, is trying to rally support as she is

1217
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 4: down about eight points ahead of next Tuesday's vote. We

1218
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 4: will get an update on the state's largest early vote

1219
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 4: trial coming up in just a second. President Trump again

1220
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:08,679
Speaker 4: talking tough on Iran, saying that they can either come

1221
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 4: to the bargaining table and make serious offers, or he

1222
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 4: will take carg island. He will immediately open up the

1223
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 4: straight of horror moves, and there will be nothing less

1224
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 4: of the current Iranian regime. The choice, he said, is there.

1225
01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 4: Let's now get an update on the state's largest early

1226
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 4: after four days of reporting early vote totals. This encompasses

1227
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:43,320
Speaker 4: the whole of in person early voting. We have one

1228
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:48,240
Speaker 4: thousand and eight hundred and seventy nine early votes logged,

1229
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 4: including a number of them today, A number of them

1230
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 4: including hate. Dan. My husband and I voted early in

1231
01:19:57,240 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 4: Wawatosa this morning. Dan, my wife and I just voted

1232
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 4: in Madison today. We were probably two of the only

1233
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 4: votes for Maria. Hey, that's just fine by me. A

1234
01:20:10,040 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 4: reminder of how the state's largest early vote drive works.

1235
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 4: Just text me after you vote early, let me know

1236
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:20,439
Speaker 4: that you did. Tell me who exactly it is that

1237
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 4: you voted with. I don't need names. I just say like, Hey, Dan,

1238
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,040
Speaker 4: I took my wife, I took my kids, I took

1239
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 4: my parents. Shout out to die also, who brought four

1240
01:20:30,720 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 4: elderly relatives with him to vote? Forty year old dude.

1241
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,280
Speaker 4: We love to see that. We love to see that

1242
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:40,639
Speaker 4: from our millennial generation taking care of the older generation.

1243
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 4: Making sure they do their civic duty. All right, a

1244
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 4: Dan o'donald's show exclusive. Now our old buddy, Mandela Barnes

1245
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 4: is at it again. At a recent event in Milwaukee,

1246
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 4: he was talking about one of his favorite topics, the

1247
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:04,080
Speaker 4: decriminalization of and emptying Wisconsin's prisons. Remember when Barnes was

1248
01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:07,720
Speaker 4: first running for lieutenant governor in twenty eighteen, he and

1249
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 4: Tony Evers ran on a platform of reducing Wisconsin's prison

1250
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 4: population by half. Now, this was seen as yes, radical,

1251
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:20,560
Speaker 4: but remember the country had not yet lived through the

1252
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 4: chaos of George Floyd and the George Floyd Effect, the

1253
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:30,599
Speaker 4: decriminalization of crime, where you had prosecutors just not prosecuting crimes,

1254
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:35,879
Speaker 4: judges simply not sentencing anybody to prison, and Governor Evers

1255
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 4: using COVID nineteen as pretext, literally throwing open the prison

1256
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 4: doors and ultimately achieving his goal of reducing the state's

1257
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 4: prison population by about fifty percent within the first two

1258
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 4: years of he and Barnes taking office. Barnes actually said,

1259
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,960
Speaker 4: reducing the price, reducing the prison population is and I

1260
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 4: quote sexy. He said, yeah, No, he meant, like everybody

1261
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 4: is talking about this now, reducing the prison population is sexy. Now,

1262
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:11,360
Speaker 4: everybody with half a brain knows that there are only

1263
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 4: a couple of ways to reduce the prison population. Because

1264
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:18,559
Speaker 4: people are still going to commit crimes at the same rate,

1265
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 4: or if they know that you're not going to sentence

1266
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 4: them to prison, or there's no real chance that they're

1267
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 4: ever going to go to prison or ever face any

1268
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,640
Speaker 4: real consequences, they're going to actually commit crimes at a

1269
01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:33,920
Speaker 4: much greater rate than they did before. The only way

1270
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 4: you can do that is if, just what we've seen

1271
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:38,639
Speaker 4: in the last six years, as part of that George

1272
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 4: Floyd effect, you have a decided, you have a decision

1273
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 4: amongst leftists in the criminal justice system and policymakers like

1274
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 4: Barnes and Evers to just never sentence anybody to prison

1275
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 4: that artificially reduces the prison population. Or as Evers actually did,

1276
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 4: you simply parole everybody. You simply allow everybody to leave

1277
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 4: prison early judges every time someone is up for extended supervision.

1278
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,000
Speaker 4: We technically don't have parole in Wisconsin. We used to.

1279
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 4: We used to have an old parole board. Now we

1280
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:18,640
Speaker 4: have extended supervision. Parole board only handles the paroles that

1281
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 4: were set before. We had a criminal justice reform and

1282
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 4: replace parole with extended supervision. Nonetheless, there are only two

1283
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:31,639
Speaker 4: ways to effectuate a much lower prison population. Both involved

1284
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 4: just not sending people to prison. So that is a

1285
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 4: backdrop and Barnes saying for literally the last eight years

1286
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 4: that he wanted the prison population reduced. We go to

1287
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 4: an event in Milwaukee on March twenty fifth where Barnes

1288
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 4: actually said, instead of sentencing to people to prison, we

1289
01:23:56,320 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 4: should sentence them to college. Wait what, folks, I'm not

1290
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:07,200
Speaker 4: gonna lie. I have heard a lot of crazy things

1291
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 4: from Mandela Barnes, this might actually be the craziest. During

1292
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 4: this talk, he opens by discussing the massive problem of.

1293
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:21,080
Speaker 6: Real these issues we have mostly in my opinion, stem

1294
01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:25,600
Speaker 6: from recidivism, because we have a lot of bogs replications.

1295
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 6: People were going back in not for a new crime,

1296
01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 6: but for technical violations. They may had the manfel and

1297
01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 6: drug to as things that can easily.

1298
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 2: Be remedied, and that is why we end up seeing this.

1299
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 6: High prison population that we have as twice as much

1300
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,680
Speaker 6: as Minnesota's even though their population is the same, even

1301
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 6: though we have essentially the identical demographics.

1302
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 4: Okay, what passed into that what he's saying is that

1303
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:02,559
Speaker 4: most people who are sentenced to pre aren't committing crimes

1304
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:06,559
Speaker 4: where they deserve to go to prison, but rather they're

1305
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 4: violating the terms of their probation. They're not committing new crimes.

1306
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:16,519
Speaker 4: But because we shouldn't be sentencing people to prison, like,

1307
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 4: for example, you violate the terms of your probation, or

1308
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:25,599
Speaker 4: you're given probation and a suspended sentence, and when you're sentenced,

1309
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:27,680
Speaker 4: the judge says to you, Okay, if you violate the

1310
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:30,600
Speaker 4: terms of your probation, I am going to impose the

1311
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:34,560
Speaker 4: three years in prison that I stayed. He's saying, no,

1312
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,719
Speaker 4: it's a probation violation, so it's not like someone committed

1313
01:25:37,720 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 4: a new crime. So basically, he's saying, you literally have

1314
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 4: a get out of jail free card that if you

1315
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:46,560
Speaker 4: violate the terms of your probation or you violate the

1316
01:25:46,640 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 4: terms of your bail while you're awaiting trial, you should

1317
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 4: just be set free. Like we should not do anything

1318
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:58,599
Speaker 4: to actually enforce probation. So if you have probation under

1319
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 4: a governor Mandela Barnes, First of all, before we get

1320
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 4: to the truly crazy part where he's saying we should

1321
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:08,360
Speaker 4: we should send these people to college instead of prison.

1322
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:15,599
Speaker 4: He's saying most of the people in prison don't actually

1323
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:18,719
Speaker 4: belong there because yeah, yeah, yeah, sure they committed crimes.

1324
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 4: But remember we're not sentencing anybody to prison. We're giving

1325
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 4: them probation. And even as they violate the terms of

1326
01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:27,719
Speaker 4: their probation, we're not going to north should we sentence

1327
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 4: them to prison. So that's leading up to this. He says,

1328
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 4: we can save a lot of money. Instead of sending

1329
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 4: the people with probation violations to jail or to prison,

1330
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:46,680
Speaker 4: we sent them to four year colleges or technical The.

1331
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 6: Money even to incorporate an individual, you can pay significantly

1332
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:55,680
Speaker 6: less money into immersion in a four year or even

1333
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 6: a tax school to.

1334
01:26:58,560 --> 01:26:59,599
Speaker 2: Or further persons.

1335
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:08,640
Speaker 4: Okay, this is a direct quote from Mandela Barnes. The

1336
01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:12,760
Speaker 4: money we spend to incarcerate an individual like you can

1337
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 4: pay significantly less money and put a person in a

1338
01:27:15,560 --> 01:27:18,720
Speaker 4: four year program or even a tech school, or put

1339
01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 4: a person in a trade school. He is not talking

1340
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 4: about the general liberal idea that oh, we must have

1341
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:29,680
Speaker 4: people going to college instead of prison. We need to

1342
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 4: end the school to prison pipeline. We need to get

1343
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:38,880
Speaker 4: more underserved communities into four year schools or tech schools

1344
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,439
Speaker 4: or trade schools. I believe he actually did say trading schools.

1345
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 4: I'm going to be generous here and say he likely

1346
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 4: meant trade schools. I don't know if a trading school

1347
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 4: is where Mandela thinks that people learn how to trade

1348
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:56,599
Speaker 4: stocks or baseball cards. I don't know, but it really

1349
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,760
Speaker 4: did sounds like he said trading school, and that sound

1350
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 4: bite he met trade school. What he was talking about

1351
01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:08,120
Speaker 4: in the context of the idea of recidivism and in

1352
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 4: the context of saying that people who are in prison

1353
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 4: are there unjustly and they shouldn't be there for probation violations.

1354
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:21,600
Speaker 4: What he is literally saying there is no other conclusion

1355
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 4: that one can come to. When he says the money

1356
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:27,800
Speaker 4: we spend to an incarcerate an individual like you can

1357
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 4: pay significantly less money and put a person in a

1358
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:32,560
Speaker 4: four year program or even a text school, he is

1359
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 4: saying we need to have instead of prison, we need

1360
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:40,559
Speaker 4: to have education, and we need to have job training

1361
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 4: for people who have already committed crimes. Now, I don't

1362
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:47,760
Speaker 4: know about you. I think most people who went to

1363
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 4: college absolutely loved it, Like college was. This is four

1364
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 4: of the best years of my life. I had some

1365
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:57,599
Speaker 4: of the greatest friends I've ever had. In fact, I've

1366
01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 4: been chuckling all day at this because one of my roommates,

1367
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:04,800
Speaker 4: one of my very dear friends, now lives up in Minnesota.

1368
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 4: He actually had like a whole comedy bit about how

1369
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 4: college was just like prison because your dorm room was

1370
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:17,720
Speaker 4: just like a jail cell. Everybody goes down to the

1371
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:22,439
Speaker 4: common like he had the whole like prison college. I've

1372
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:24,640
Speaker 4: got to text him and tell him, Dude, one of

1373
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 4: our leading candidates for governor down here in Wisconsin is

1374
01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:32,240
Speaker 4: literally he's stealing your material, Ryan, he is stealing your stuff.

1375
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:35,439
Speaker 4: He is saying, yes, we need to send people to

1376
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:39,200
Speaker 4: college because it's apparently just like prison. What Barnes is

1377
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:45,040
Speaker 4: talking about, he is saying instead, when somebody is arrested

1378
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 4: for a crime. These are the same people that are

1379
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:51,479
Speaker 4: constantly talking about the alternatives to prosecution. And that's sort

1380
01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 4: of one of the biggest reasons that we are where

1381
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:59,040
Speaker 4: we are with Wisconsin's homicide rate, Milwaukee's homicide rate in particular,

1382
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:02,560
Speaker 4: skyrow getting while the rest of the country saw the

1383
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:06,439
Speaker 4: biggest one year decline in the murder rate under Trump

1384
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 4: since nineteen hundred, Milwaukee actually it's murder rate increased. The

1385
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:13,120
Speaker 4: rest of the country homicide rate down nineteen percent, Milwaukee's

1386
01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:16,800
Speaker 4: homicide rate up eight percent. Big reason for that is

1387
01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:20,679
Speaker 4: our criminal element in Milwaukee is in bolden because years

1388
01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:25,400
Speaker 4: and years and years ago, Milwaukee's District Attorney, John Chisholm,

1389
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 4: was one of the nation's leaders in the progressive prosecutor movement,

1390
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:36,160
Speaker 4: and he actually sort of spearheaded the introduction of these

1391
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 4: alternatives to prosecution. All of the lefty prosecutors that you

1392
01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:46,599
Speaker 4: see now in places like New York in Chicago who

1393
01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:49,559
Speaker 4: are just in Milwaukee letting people off with a slap

1394
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 4: on the wrist. Kent Levern, Milwaukee's current district attorney, was

1395
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:56,200
Speaker 4: the top deputy for years and years and years under

1396
01:30:56,280 --> 01:31:01,720
Speaker 4: John Chisholm before his retirement. Kishom inspired them alltism was

1397
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:04,720
Speaker 4: like the guy in the Okay, we're not going to

1398
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 4: prosecute you, We're going to make you pay restitution, which

1399
01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 4: of course never got paid within the first two years.

1400
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 4: Even the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel did a big analysis on

1401
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:17,439
Speaker 4: this and thought, Hey, a whole bunch of these people

1402
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:21,920
Speaker 4: who were given unearned leniency by John Chisholm are reoffending.

1403
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:25,360
Speaker 4: Chisholm actually was quoted in The Journal Sentinel back in

1404
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:28,200
Speaker 4: two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, right around

1405
01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:30,560
Speaker 4: the time he was first elected. He said, am I

1406
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:35,680
Speaker 4: going to set someone free who ultimately kills someone? Yes,

1407
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:39,479
Speaker 4: guaranteed it's guaranteed to happen. That does not negate the

1408
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 4: overall strategy. That is pretty close to a direct quote.

1409
01:31:43,720 --> 01:31:48,519
Speaker 4: That's shocking in its callousness. Yeah, okay, we're going to

1410
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:51,320
Speaker 4: have some of these people that Mandela Barnes is turning

1411
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:55,880
Speaker 4: loose on college campuses shoot somebody in the head. But

1412
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 4: it's good what Barnes is clearly talking about here, this

1413
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 4: truly radical stuff Like this is not just the Mandela

1414
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:08,080
Speaker 4: Barnes of twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen saying you're we

1415
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,400
Speaker 4: go to reduce the prison population by not prosecuting anybody.

1416
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:17,440
Speaker 4: Now he's saying, okay, instead of incarcerating somebody, we just presume,

1417
01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:22,080
Speaker 4: we just presume that they don't have enough opportunities in

1418
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:25,719
Speaker 4: their life. So if we just get them the skills

1419
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:29,080
Speaker 4: training and the job training they need, they won't commit

1420
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:33,040
Speaker 4: any more crimes. First of all, that's freaking insulting in

1421
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:37,639
Speaker 4: the extreme to people who are coming from inner city

1422
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:41,880
Speaker 4: environments who really could use a leg up, really could

1423
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:45,240
Speaker 4: use a helping hand, and oh, I don't know, aren't

1424
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:51,720
Speaker 4: committing crimes like the presumption that all poor people, all

1425
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 4: underprivileged people, and especially Barnes is talking about because you

1426
01:32:57,160 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 4: can't get to the prison or incarceration discussion without getting

1427
01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:03,960
Speaker 4: to a discussion about race. What he's talking about, too,

1428
01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:11,880
Speaker 4: is poor black males need this helping hand, so we're

1429
01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:14,880
Speaker 4: going to give it to them after they're arrested in

1430
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:20,280
Speaker 4: charge with crimes. There is a presumption there that black

1431
01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 4: males and Hispanic males and people who are statistically committing

1432
01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:29,080
Speaker 4: crimes that are much higher clip they are doing so

1433
01:33:29,200 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 4: because they're underprivileged. Do you see how that's so offensive,

1434
01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:37,200
Speaker 4: because it presumes that anybody who is of that race,

1435
01:33:37,680 --> 01:33:41,479
Speaker 4: anybody who is of that socioeconomic status, simply cannot help

1436
01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:45,640
Speaker 4: themselves and must commit crimes. I hate to break it

1437
01:33:45,720 --> 01:33:50,240
Speaker 4: to you, Mandela, but it's a tiny percentage of the

1438
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:56,320
Speaker 4: population of an entire city, an entire racial makeup of

1439
01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:58,639
Speaker 4: a city, who are committing crimes. It's something like ten

1440
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:02,519
Speaker 4: percent of a given city just keeps committing crimes over

1441
01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 4: and over and over and over and over again, taking

1442
01:34:04,880 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 4: advantage of judges and prosecutors and policymakers just like Mandela,

1443
01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:12,719
Speaker 4: who are stupid enough to give them chance after chance

1444
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 4: after chance after chance, and never ever ever realize, Hey,

1445
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:23,479
Speaker 4: this person keeps offending and their crimes keep getting more

1446
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:27,800
Speaker 4: and more severe. Maybe, just maybe what we should do

1447
01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:31,320
Speaker 4: is lock them up for a period of time. Maybe

1448
01:34:31,400 --> 01:34:34,479
Speaker 4: it'll rehabilitate them, maybe it won't. But what we can

1449
01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:37,920
Speaker 4: guarantee it's going to do is not allow that person

1450
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:43,320
Speaker 4: to victimize innocent people while they are incarcerat you're listening

1451
01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:47,960
Speaker 4: to the Dan o'donald show. It's a pre diforce of truth.

1452
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:59,320
Speaker 4: All right, folks, we can all pack it in. I

1453
01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 4: must at hundreds of texts today, I have heard the

1454
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:06,880
Speaker 4: single best one that I might have heard all year.

1455
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:12,599
Speaker 4: You ready for this, Mandela Barnes obviously has his plan

1456
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:16,760
Speaker 4: to send people to college instead of prison. Is a

1457
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:19,360
Speaker 4: direct quote that we got exclusively. By the way, you

1458
01:35:19,439 --> 01:35:23,160
Speaker 4: can listen to that audio. It's audio only. I do

1459
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 4: not have the video of him saying this, but we've

1460
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:28,880
Speaker 4: got a video. We've got the subtitles up on my

1461
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:31,759
Speaker 4: social media at Dan o'donald show on x and Facebook

1462
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:36,360
Speaker 4: dot com slash Dan o'donalds show as well. Okay, Mandela

1463
01:35:36,439 --> 01:35:41,000
Speaker 4: says he wants to send criminals to college instead of prison.

1464
01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:48,719
Speaker 4: One intrepid Texter just sent me the following message, Mandela

1465
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:52,840
Speaker 4: Barnes would have sent Jeffrey Dahmer to culinary school. Ladies

1466
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:56,840
Speaker 4: and gentlemen, that might be the text of the year.

1467
01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:01,640
Speaker 4: That is just it's like the right level of completely

1468
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 4: and totally inappropriate for this show, which makes it especially hilarious.

1469
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:10,920
Speaker 4: Kudos to you, Just like we might have the unhinged

1470
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:15,000
Speaker 4: liberal of the year already, the one lady who went

1471
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:18,320
Speaker 4: with a duck hunter who it was a massively viral thing.

1472
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:20,000
Speaker 4: I think we have got the text of the year already,

1473
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 4: I really do. That is just far too funny coming

1474
01:36:23,439 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 4: up in just a couple of minutes, from a horrible

1475
01:36:27,160 --> 01:36:32,759
Speaker 4: gubernatorial candidate to a great one. You have Mandela Barnes

1476
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:37,760
Speaker 4: proposing something absolutely nobody wants, and that is to send

1477
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:43,720
Speaker 4: people to trade school instead of prison. Do something absolutely

1478
01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 4: everybody wants. I can't believe this has not been proposed

1479
01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:52,960
Speaker 4: or done before. Tom Tiffany today said if I'm elected governor,

1480
01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 4: We're going to end emissions testing now, folks, as somebody

1481
01:36:57,720 --> 01:37:01,880
Speaker 4: who just bought a new car two years ago and

1482
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:04,880
Speaker 4: could not renew my license plates because I have to

1483
01:37:04,920 --> 01:37:08,439
Speaker 4: get any missions test. I'm telling you, if Tom Tiffany

1484
01:37:08,520 --> 01:37:11,559
Speaker 4: gets this done, first of all, I am gonna pledge

1485
01:37:11,640 --> 01:37:14,560
Speaker 4: right here if he gets this done, I will I

1486
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:18,920
Speaker 4: will join his cabinet. If he fusses me too, all right,

1487
01:37:19,120 --> 01:37:22,920
Speaker 4: I will serve the Tiffany administration if he gets rid

1488
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:25,400
Speaker 4: of emissions testing, because that's a I'm like, can I

1489
01:37:25,560 --> 01:37:28,280
Speaker 4: just renew? Clearly? My car is going to pass an

1490
01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:31,600
Speaker 4: emissions test. It's brand new. This thing is not like

1491
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:36,000
Speaker 4: some sixty five year old beater. Okay, it's a twenty

1492
01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:39,720
Speaker 4: twenty four. All right, it's a twenty twenty four. I

1493
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:41,920
Speaker 4: just bought it. Why do I need to take it

1494
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:44,800
Speaker 4: in for an emissions test? And then you sit there

1495
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:46,840
Speaker 4: with the ad you know what. We'll get into that

1496
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:50,640
Speaker 4: in the next segment. I just I don't want to

1497
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:54,560
Speaker 4: go on a Dennis Miller style rant here, but suffice

1498
01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:58,880
Speaker 4: it to say getting rid of emissions testing? Is there

1499
01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:03,840
Speaker 4: anybody in this audience who would not support you could

1500
01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:06,240
Speaker 4: do this as like a focus group, right. You could

1501
01:38:06,240 --> 01:38:08,439
Speaker 4: do this as with Frank Lunch when they're watching the

1502
01:38:08,520 --> 01:38:13,640
Speaker 4: debate and they have the little dials where they excuse me.

1503
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:16,240
Speaker 4: You see Frank Lunch and he says, okay, folks, okay,

1504
01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:20,439
Speaker 4: who here likes Tom Tiffany saying no emissions test. So

1505
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:22,799
Speaker 4: you see the dials just all go to one hundred.

1506
01:38:23,080 --> 01:38:26,200
Speaker 4: They're like, okay, folks, now who here likes Mandela Bar

1507
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:28,519
Speaker 4: and saying We're going to take all of the people

1508
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:31,599
Speaker 4: out of prison and put them on the UW Madison campus.

1509
01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:35,080
Speaker 4: Every dial goes to zero. It just gives you a

1510
01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:39,000
Speaker 4: good idea of what's at stake in this gubernatorial race.

1511
01:38:39,520 --> 01:38:42,280
Speaker 4: It gives you a good idea actually, in a more

1512
01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:46,519
Speaker 4: immediate sense, what's at stake in these local races and

1513
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:49,000
Speaker 4: in the state supreme race, which, by the way, we're

1514
01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:53,440
Speaker 4: already voting in. Election day is a week from tomorrow,

1515
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:58,760
Speaker 4: and you'd better believe that there are all manner of

1516
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 4: Mandela Bar all over the states on this ballot who

1517
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:07,920
Speaker 4: are already in elective office. We opened up the show

1518
01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 4: today and I'm probably going to talk about this again

1519
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:15,320
Speaker 4: tomorrow because I know, folks, folks, I know the audio

1520
01:39:15,479 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 4: quality was so horrendous. It stinks because it really was

1521
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:21,519
Speaker 4: a great investigative peace if I do say so myself,

1522
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:23,960
Speaker 4: with no false modesty here, I mean not that you

1523
01:39:24,040 --> 01:39:26,680
Speaker 4: know I did such an incredible it's it's what I'm

1524
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:30,760
Speaker 4: saying is it's so indicative of where we are. The

1525
01:39:30,920 --> 01:39:34,360
Speaker 4: father of Eric Genrik, who is the just awful mayor

1526
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:38,040
Speaker 4: of Green Bay, big time Democrat, who basically illegally he

1527
01:39:38,520 --> 01:39:41,439
Speaker 4: committed by my cop something like seven or eight crimes

1528
01:39:42,080 --> 01:39:45,800
Speaker 4: in the way you surfed authority over the twenty twenty

1529
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:48,639
Speaker 4: election over his own city clerk who quit in discuss

1530
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:53,080
Speaker 4: His father was the treasurer of the board of this

1531
01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:57,680
Speaker 4: nonprofit new cap which just went under and now it's

1532
01:39:57,720 --> 01:40:01,479
Speaker 4: facing a whole ton of investigations. HUD is probably going

1533
01:40:01,560 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 4: to get involved at the behest of Congressman Tony Wead

1534
01:40:04,280 --> 01:40:09,599
Speaker 4: and Congressman Brian's style because they were completely misusing taxpayer money. Well,

1535
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 4: it turns out Genrick's father, Jim Denrick, is running for

1536
01:40:13,200 --> 01:40:17,479
Speaker 4: a seat on the Alloyway Village Board. He serves as

1537
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 4: a trustee in the village of Alloway, which is obviously

1538
01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:29,320
Speaker 4: near Green Bay. This guy managed to squander fourteen million

1539
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 4: dollars in government money. In twenty twenty four, they got

1540
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:37,040
Speaker 4: fourteen million dollars. They were running a deficit of between

1541
01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 4: two and two point eight million dollars, which forced them

1542
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:44,880
Speaker 4: to shut their doors. Well, now it is coming out

1543
01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:49,120
Speaker 4: people who were with the organization New Cap. They're saying, well,

1544
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:54,040
Speaker 4: they were putting all their money towards lavish salary and benefits.

1545
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 4: I'm not surprised. Well, yeah, that's usually what happens in

1546
01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:02,320
Speaker 4: a fraudulent organization. And this is exactly folks, this is

1547
01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:05,400
Speaker 4: exactly why it is so important to get to the

1548
01:41:05,400 --> 01:41:08,439
Speaker 4: bottom of fraud, not just in Minneapolis, but also here

1549
01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:11,400
Speaker 4: in Wisconsin. And this is why it is so disgusting

1550
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:17,000
Speaker 4: that our governor is refusing to share snap databases with

1551
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:20,240
Speaker 4: the federal government. It's impossible to root out the fraud

1552
01:41:20,320 --> 01:41:23,839
Speaker 4: if we have no idea who is exactly getting benefits,

1553
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:27,160
Speaker 4: how these benefits are being allocated, and this sort of thing,

1554
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:31,680
Speaker 4: the New Cap fraud, is precisely why. So this is

1555
01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:36,360
Speaker 4: just one example of one leftist who is in charge

1556
01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:43,120
Speaker 4: of a leftist nonprofit organization. He very likely is involved

1557
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:46,400
Speaker 4: in a massive government fraud to the tune of millions

1558
01:41:46,439 --> 01:41:49,719
Speaker 4: and millions of dollars, fourteen fifteen million dollars. Who knows

1559
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:52,960
Speaker 4: how much money was not going to where it was

1560
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:56,200
Speaker 4: supposed to go to feeding the homeless and providing homes

1561
01:41:56,280 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 4: for the underprivileged in the Green Bay area. He wants

1562
01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:04,840
Speaker 4: to be a trustee. Trust is literally in the name

1563
01:42:04,960 --> 01:42:08,320
Speaker 4: of the position he is seeking. Are the people of

1564
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:10,439
Speaker 4: Alue going to give it to him? And the worst

1565
01:42:10,439 --> 01:42:12,519
Speaker 4: part is because he does not have that D next

1566
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:14,840
Speaker 4: to his name, there are a lot of people who

1567
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:18,000
Speaker 4: might actually vote from Ah. You know, Jim's a good guy.

1568
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:22,640
Speaker 4: Jim's a straight shooter. Of course, the local media is

1569
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 4: never going to tie Jim Genrick to the new cap collapse.

1570
01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:31,000
Speaker 4: You have to rely on Dan O'Donnell. And by the way,

1571
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:33,960
Speaker 4: we've got the full write up at Heartlandpost dot com.

1572
01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:37,040
Speaker 4: The Heartland Post is our brand new web venture. It

1573
01:42:37,120 --> 01:42:41,639
Speaker 4: has already emerged as a heavy hitter of conservative policy already.

1574
01:42:41,720 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 4: The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ran an op ed daring to

1575
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:50,439
Speaker 4: They said, well, he was blasting the conservative candidates for

1576
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:54,759
Speaker 4: the Wohatosis school board. The headline I'm not even kidding

1577
01:42:54,840 --> 01:43:00,479
Speaker 4: you at jsonline dot com referenced Dan O'Donnell in endorsed

1578
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:03,680
Speaker 4: these candidates, proving that they're terrible or something like that.

1579
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:08,080
Speaker 4: If that really, guys, really, we're going with that, okay,

1580
01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 4: so long as you provide the correct link to your competitor,

1581
01:43:13,160 --> 01:43:17,080
Speaker 4: the Heartland Post. I'm fine with that. But that's why

1582
01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:20,200
Speaker 4: we put together the Ultimate Conservative voter, guys, so that

1583
01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:24,080
Speaker 4: you don't accidentally vote for a Jim Gnrick. You vote

1584
01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:30,280
Speaker 4: for a conservative who didn't just steer a fraudulent nonprofit

1585
01:43:30,520 --> 01:43:36,680
Speaker 4: organization into bankruptcy. When we come back, Congressman Tom Tiffany

1586
01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:39,840
Speaker 4: unveiled what I think should be the centerpiece of his

1587
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:45,040
Speaker 4: gubernatorial campaign, get rid of emission testing. Let's do it.

1588
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 4: Congressman Dan o'donald Hill, Welcome back to the Dan o'donald Show.

1589
01:43:56,600 --> 01:44:01,200
Speaker 4: What might be the single best policy proposal I have heard.

1590
01:44:01,240 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 4: I might be a little biased because I just got

1591
01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:08,760
Speaker 4: the notification. Well, I got the notification I needed to

1592
01:44:08,840 --> 01:44:13,240
Speaker 4: renew my license plate and I couldn't do so. I

1593
01:44:13,320 --> 01:44:17,320
Speaker 4: want to go do so online. DMV is remarkably efficient

1594
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:20,559
Speaker 4: at renewing plates online. Because I need to go get

1595
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:25,240
Speaker 4: any missions test. My car is two years old. It

1596
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:28,320
Speaker 4: is not going to fail in fact. As my good

1597
01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:31,400
Speaker 4: friend and former colleague Jeff Wagner put it on X today,

1598
01:44:31,920 --> 01:44:36,720
Speaker 4: no cars newer than twenty years old ever fail emissions test,

1599
01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:42,360
Speaker 4: none of them. None. It's pointless. Tom Tiffany today said,

1600
01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:44,519
Speaker 4: let's just end emissions test.

1601
01:44:45,160 --> 01:44:48,200
Speaker 9: It is time for us to end this emissions testing.

1602
01:44:48,280 --> 01:44:51,559
Speaker 9: And what I plan to do is I will ask

1603
01:44:51,680 --> 01:44:56,160
Speaker 9: for a waiver from the Environmental Protection Agency. I have

1604
01:44:56,280 --> 01:45:00,719
Speaker 9: a strong working relationship with the EPA administrator Lee Eldon.

1605
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:03,680
Speaker 9: We're going to talk to him. We're going to go

1606
01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:06,040
Speaker 9: if I become governor, we're going to go to our

1607
01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:10,160
Speaker 9: neighboring states in Illinois and Indiana to try to craft

1608
01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:15,000
Speaker 9: a resolution to this so that people in southeastern Wisconsin

1609
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 9: are not penalized for something they are not responsible for.

1610
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:30,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, why is it that drivers who are driving? Okay, folks,

1611
01:45:30,280 --> 01:45:32,720
Speaker 4: if you bought a car, I want you to think about.

1612
01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:35,120
Speaker 4: Your car might not be brand new. It might not

1613
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:37,840
Speaker 4: be like mine that's relatively new at two years old.

1614
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:42,120
Speaker 4: If you bought a car more recently than like nineteen

1615
01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:48,799
Speaker 4: ninety seven, chances are you have a car that emits

1616
01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:53,960
Speaker 4: a tiny fraction of what previous models did. Especially if

1617
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:55,880
Speaker 4: you bought a car like within the last ten to

1618
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:00,479
Speaker 4: fifteen years, ones that have more advanced catalytic confls and

1619
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:05,160
Speaker 4: fuel injections obeds that sort of thing. There is no

1620
01:46:05,640 --> 01:46:11,680
Speaker 4: chance that your vehicle is polluting. In fact, tailpipe standards

1621
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:17,280
Speaker 4: alone have driven about ninety nine percent to one hundred

1622
01:46:17,360 --> 01:46:23,080
Speaker 4: percent reductions in pollutants like carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons and

1623
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:26,759
Speaker 4: that sort of thing. This is why the failure rates

1624
01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:31,200
Speaker 4: for modern vehicles, and that's defined as anything that's about

1625
01:46:31,640 --> 01:46:36,360
Speaker 4: post two thousand, that is a modern vehicle. The failure

1626
01:46:36,439 --> 01:46:40,040
Speaker 4: rate at an emissions test across the country is less

1627
01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:43,880
Speaker 4: than one percent for any of these cars. What are

1628
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:49,000
Speaker 4: we even doing here? Is it because it's a good

1629
01:46:49,040 --> 01:46:52,920
Speaker 4: way to get some revenue for the state. Is it

1630
01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:56,200
Speaker 4: a good way to get some business for the companies

1631
01:46:56,280 --> 01:46:59,479
Speaker 4: that are actually doing the auto shops that are actually

1632
01:46:59,600 --> 01:47:04,600
Speaker 4: doing the emissions tests. Maybe, but I don't see a

1633
01:47:04,760 --> 01:47:10,440
Speaker 4: single environmental reason why this needs to be done. Advancements

1634
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:16,760
Speaker 4: in automotive technology have largely made the emissions test obsolete.

1635
01:47:17,360 --> 01:47:23,400
Speaker 4: Why are we still pretending that you know, my night

1636
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:28,439
Speaker 4: you know, my twenty twenty six Dodge or Toyota Camry

1637
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:33,679
Speaker 4: is emitting the same level as like a nineteen seventy

1638
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:42,080
Speaker 4: nine Gremlin. Okay, there's just still comparison. You've got these. Meanwhile, also,

1639
01:47:42,520 --> 01:47:48,519
Speaker 4: you see the county buses just belching exhaust, and you wonder, okay,

1640
01:47:48,920 --> 01:47:52,200
Speaker 4: how stringent are the emission standards on those puppies that

1641
01:47:52,320 --> 01:47:56,000
Speaker 4: are owned and operated by government. I'm taking a wild

1642
01:47:56,080 --> 01:48:00,880
Speaker 4: guess your average county bus is polluting about twenty times

1643
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:05,320
Speaker 4: more than my two year old car is. And that's

1644
01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:07,800
Speaker 4: saying nothing about the fact that a county bus is

1645
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:12,080
Speaker 4: being driven constantly from like six am to whenever the

1646
01:48:12,160 --> 01:48:14,640
Speaker 4: bus is end in Milwaukee, Let's say what nine to

1647
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:19,799
Speaker 4: ten pm, I'm driving to and from work. I'm driving

1648
01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:23,080
Speaker 4: maybe to a soccer game, and maybe I'm driving to dinner.

1649
01:48:23,120 --> 01:48:28,040
Speaker 4: And that's it. But my car is the issue. You know,

1650
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:32,639
Speaker 4: this is a relic of an era where it might

1651
01:48:32,720 --> 01:48:35,840
Speaker 4: have been Okay, you've got something that's just polluting a

1652
01:48:35,880 --> 01:48:40,160
Speaker 4: little bit too much. Technology has taken care of this problem.

1653
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:46,519
Speaker 4: There is absolutely no need to inconvenience people with going

1654
01:48:46,600 --> 01:48:49,000
Speaker 4: to like honestly, I could put it out. I could

1655
01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 4: put it out to every person in this audience. We

1656
01:48:52,920 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 4: could take calls for an hour, and I don't think

1657
01:48:56,320 --> 01:48:59,759
Speaker 4: there would be a single person whose car has failed

1658
01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:02,880
Speaker 4: an emissions tests. I honestly, I have been taking cars

1659
01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:07,240
Speaker 4: to get emissions tests, probably since I started driving, and

1660
01:49:07,439 --> 01:49:10,120
Speaker 4: I have never once had a car fail. I have

1661
01:49:10,320 --> 01:49:14,000
Speaker 4: never once had to sell a car because, oh my goodness,

1662
01:49:14,080 --> 01:49:17,040
Speaker 4: it's polluting just a little too much. We need to

1663
01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:19,680
Speaker 4: fail this. You're not able to renew the plate on this.

1664
01:49:21,080 --> 01:49:28,959
Speaker 4: It's just it's it's nonsensical. Now, what is the average fee? Seriously,

1665
01:49:30,120 --> 01:49:32,960
Speaker 4: twenty five thirty dollars. I don't remember, I haven't gotten

1666
01:49:33,360 --> 01:49:35,920
Speaker 4: an emissions test and a couple of yeah, actually, I

1667
01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:38,040
Speaker 4: take that back. I had to take my son's car

1668
01:49:38,200 --> 01:49:40,680
Speaker 4: in maybe a year ago, and I can't remember what

1669
01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:47,720
Speaker 4: it was that I paid. You probably are seeing costs

1670
01:49:47,880 --> 01:49:50,760
Speaker 4: that kind of add up. Like let's say there is

1671
01:49:50,960 --> 01:49:54,360
Speaker 4: for the Okay, let's let's just do a quick little

1672
01:49:54,400 --> 01:49:57,439
Speaker 4: logic test. Who is it that is likeliest to be

1673
01:49:57,560 --> 01:50:00,679
Speaker 4: driving a car that is more than twenty five years

1674
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:04,360
Speaker 4: old and thus the only car that would be even

1675
01:50:04,439 --> 01:50:06,960
Speaker 4: have a chance of failing an emissions test. It's probably

1676
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:10,320
Speaker 4: a lower income driver, right, Probably somebody who can't afford

1677
01:50:11,040 --> 01:50:13,960
Speaker 4: a brand new car. So they've been driving their same

1678
01:50:14,120 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 4: rust bucket for much of their lives. That's going to

1679
01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:20,840
Speaker 4: be a low income person who is going to have

1680
01:50:20,920 --> 01:50:23,200
Speaker 4: to pay the fee, which admittedly is not much, but

1681
01:50:23,360 --> 01:50:26,000
Speaker 4: the repairs, the required repairs. Hey, you either junk this

1682
01:50:26,160 --> 01:50:29,320
Speaker 4: car or you get it fixed. That can be hundreds

1683
01:50:29,439 --> 01:50:33,560
Speaker 4: or even thousands of dollars. And honestly, we're sort of

1684
01:50:33,600 --> 01:50:37,439
Speaker 4: seeing the law of diminishing returns here. How much are

1685
01:50:37,560 --> 01:50:42,000
Speaker 4: we really saving the environment by by going through this

1686
01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 4: kabuki theater of all lining up at the body shop

1687
01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:48,799
Speaker 4: on a Saturday morning to try to get our cars

1688
01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:50,479
Speaker 4: a test that they.

1689
01:50:50,479 --> 01:50:54,639
Speaker 1: Don't really need. I'm telling you, if Tom Tiffany gets

1690
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:56,759
Speaker 1: this passed as governor, hands vision.

1691
01:50:56,640 --> 01:51:05,280
Speaker 4: Seting, he's serving five terms Conservative thought, not just talk.

1698
01:51:35,760 --> 01:51:38,680
Speaker 4: just disappear. We've been having internet issues all day no

1699
01:51:38,800 --> 01:51:41,679
Speaker 4: real surprises. I want to say, they were very eloquent

1700
01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:44,519
Speaker 4: texts from loyal listeners. There were like three of them

1701
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:47,200
Speaker 4: that were just here and they just My entire screen

1702
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:51,120
Speaker 4: just went blank while looking at all of our texts.

1703
01:51:51,200 --> 01:51:53,479
Speaker 4: But if you early vote, be sure to text me

1704
01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 4: at four one, four, seven, nine, nine, eleven thirty so

1705
01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:59,200
Speaker 4: you could be counted in the state's largest early vote drive.

1706
01:51:59,320 --> 01:52:02,200
Speaker 4: Over the weekend, we had a total of three hundred

1707
01:52:02,320 --> 01:52:05,800
Speaker 4: and twelve early votes. Log That doesn't mean I got

1708
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:10,400
Speaker 4: three hundred and twelve texts. It means that people texted

1709
01:52:10,479 --> 01:52:13,479
Speaker 4: me and told me that a total of three hundred

1710
01:52:13,520 --> 01:52:18,040
Speaker 4: and twelve people voted. They were bringing people with them

1711
01:52:18,120 --> 01:52:21,160
Speaker 4: to the polls. They were getting people out there to vote.

1712
01:52:21,160 --> 01:52:25,320
Speaker 4: I believe, I said. On Friday, took my wife and

1713
01:52:25,520 --> 01:52:28,000
Speaker 4: my eighteen year old son to vote. He voted for

1714
01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:32,040
Speaker 4: the very first time. Got him registered that day. Shockingly,

1715
01:52:32,520 --> 01:52:35,720
Speaker 4: it was very easy to do. If we needed to

1716
01:52:35,840 --> 01:52:39,320
Speaker 4: prove his citizenship, we could have done so very easily.

1717
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:43,120
Speaker 4: He has a passport, or we could have just gone

1718
01:52:43,160 --> 01:52:46,200
Speaker 4: online and gotten his birth certificate from the county of

1719
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 4: his birth, Milwaukee, in like two minutes before we close

1720
01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:53,920
Speaker 4: up shop. Today, the Brewers taken on the Tampa Bay

1721
01:52:54,040 --> 01:52:58,000
Speaker 4: Rays as they opened three and zero against what might

1722
01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:00,960
Speaker 4: be the worst team in baseball yet again, the Chicago

1723
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:03,840
Speaker 4: White Sox. White Sox were actually up seven to two

1724
01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:08,719
Speaker 4: on Sunday before the Brewers came roaring back. And speaking

1725
01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:14,040
Speaker 4: of comebacks, did you see the Duke Yukon game? It

1726
01:53:14,240 --> 01:53:17,280
Speaker 4: was easily the best game of the NC Double A tournament.

1727
01:53:17,560 --> 01:53:20,519
Speaker 4: Duke was up fifteen points at the half. They were

1728
01:53:20,600 --> 01:53:24,799
Speaker 4: the first number one seed in NC DOUBLEA tournament history

1729
01:53:25,360 --> 01:53:29,080
Speaker 4: to lose when they were up fifteen or more at halftime.

1730
01:53:29,200 --> 01:53:32,599
Speaker 4: Yukon came roaring back and Duke actually had a chance

1731
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:35,880
Speaker 4: to win the game. They were up two with ten

1732
01:53:36,040 --> 01:53:39,880
Speaker 4: seconds left. All their star player Cameron Boozer had to

1733
01:53:39,960 --> 01:53:43,280
Speaker 4: do was hold on to the ball at mid court. Instead,

1734
01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:47,120
Speaker 4: he tries to pass it, It gets stolen and a

1735
01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:51,120
Speaker 4: freshman for Yukon makes a near half court shot with

1736
01:53:51,360 --> 01:53:55,320
Speaker 4: point three seconds left on the clock. Yukon wins seventy

1737
01:53:55,439 --> 01:53:59,840
Speaker 4: three to seventy two. So the final four is set too.

1738
01:54:00,120 --> 01:54:02,840
Speaker 4: Of the four teams are from the Big Ten. You've

1739
01:54:02,840 --> 01:54:06,120
Speaker 4: got Illinois, You've got Michigan, and then you've got Arizona,

1740
01:54:06,200 --> 01:54:08,280
Speaker 4: who I think is just far and away the best team.

1741
01:54:08,280 --> 01:54:10,720
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna win the NCAA Championship and they're

1742
01:54:10,720 --> 01:54:14,040
Speaker 4: going to become the first team, if you can believe this,

1743
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:17,720
Speaker 4: the first college basketball team. If Arizona was to win

1744
01:54:18,920 --> 01:54:21,280
Speaker 4: the NCUBA Tournament this year, they would be the first

1745
01:54:21,280 --> 01:54:24,479
Speaker 4: team from west of the Mississippi to win the tournament

1746
01:54:24,560 --> 01:54:27,880
Speaker 4: since nineteen ninety seven. Do you know the last team

1747
01:54:27,960 --> 01:54:31,240
Speaker 4: west of the Mississippi to win the NCUBA Tournament. It

1748
01:54:31,439 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 4: was Arizona the last time they won the Damon Stoudemier

1749
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:37,720
Speaker 4: and just an absolutely stacked team when they won in

1750
01:54:37,840 --> 01:54:40,360
Speaker 4: ninety seven. And they look like the best team. But

1751
01:54:40,960 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 4: don't count out anybody. It looks like it's going to

1752
01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:46,160
Speaker 4: be a really, really fun final four. This week has

1753
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:48,840
Speaker 4: been a great nc DOUBLEA tournament, even though there haven't

1754
01:54:48,840 --> 01:54:51,280
Speaker 4: been a whole lot of upsets. As I said, Nil

1755
01:54:51,760 --> 01:54:54,480
Speaker 4: and the transfer portal have just changed the game of

1756
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:59,120
Speaker 4: basketball at the college level, probably permanently. All Right, that

1757
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:03,520
Speaker 4: will do it for us tonight. Thank for everybody who

1758
01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:06,920
Speaker 4: was sticking with us through our audio troubles. I promise

1759
01:55:06,960 --> 01:55:09,280
Speaker 4: we've got it fixed. We're gonna be back to studio

1760
01:55:09,480 --> 01:55:12,200
Speaker 4: quality tomorrow here on the Dan o'donald's show,
