1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: Good Tuesday afternoon, you exceptional Americans. How do you do? It?

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Is Tuesday, November eleventh, twenty twenty five, in the year

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: of our Lord, Veterans Day on this edition of the

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show, with your radio talk show host Phil

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: and Daddy Matt Kittle sitting in in the revolving shares

6
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: of guest hosts. This week, Dan'll be back with you soon.

7
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: Until then, our excellent producer Eric and yours truly will

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: take you through this Veterans Day first and foremost before

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: we do anything. To all of our veterans listening today,

10
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, and God bless you for your

11
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: service to this great, exceptional Republic of ours. I'm especially

12
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: thinking of our members of the military, our veterans who

13
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: have served in harm's way, and all kinds of thee

14
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: of war over the last well seventy plus years or

15
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: so more than that, throughout the course of this republic's history.

16
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: We thank you for your service, and God bless you always,

17
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: but we think of you in particular on this day. Now,

18
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: let's see if we can make somebody one thousand dollars

19
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: richer in our fall Fortune cash contest. That's right, you

20
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: have until fifty five minutes past the hour to go

21
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: to the website of the excellent radio station you are

22
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: now listening to and enter the word cash csh cash

23
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: to enter the contest this hour again. You've got about oh,

24
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: forty seven minutes or so, but who's counting to enter

25
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 1: our nationwide contest our nationwide fall fortune cash contest. Again.

26
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: The keyword this hour is cash, fittingly so as in

27
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: you would like to have one thousand dollars free cash

28
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: in your hands. Perhaps we can do that for you.

29
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Just enter the keyword at the fine radio station. You

30
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: are listening to. That keyword again this hour is cash.

31
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: Good luck to you. What do we have coming up

32
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: on the show. Oh, we have much much to get

33
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: to coming up in a little bit later this hour.

34
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: Fair warning, as the Federalist Sean Fleetwood writes today at

35
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: The Federalist. Less than five months ago, Associate Justices Samuel

36
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: Alito and Clarence Thomas warned that the US Supreme Court's

37
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: decision in Trump the CASA limiting power lower courts use

38
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: of nationwide injunctions failed to address loopholes open to abuse

39
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: by wouldn't you Know It left wing activist and judges

40
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: and manned did they pound that door wide open the

41
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: leftist activist and judges. Since the handing down of that ruling,

42
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: the two senior justices have proven right time and time again.

43
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: But then again, aren't they usually. Sean Fleetwood, who covers

44
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: all things Supreme Court for the Federalists, will join us

45
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: just past three point thirty this afternoon. Straight ahead, in

46
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: the next little while, we're going to talk more about

47
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 1: veterans and quite frankly, how our government is failing them

48
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: continuously every day, failing our veterans. Sometimes it gets better,

49
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: sometimes it gets worse, but we're still failing them. Fifteen

50
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: hundred dollars coffee cups, that's right. This year, for the

51
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 1: first time, the Pentagon's budget topped one trillion dollars. We're

52
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: told this is to support the troops. Fortunately, nothing could

53
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: be further from the truth. In so many instances, while

54
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of veterans are homeless and hundreds of

55
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: thousands are going hungry, the Pentagon is still wasting billions

56
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: on things like fifteen hundred dollars coffee cups and one

57
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars soap dispensers. Well I'll tell

58
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: you Bill Proxmeyer would be turning in his grave right now.

59
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: Ben Freeman of the Quincy Institute, co author of the

60
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: new book It's out today, the trillion dollar War Machine

61
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: will join us, coming up in just a bit this hour, Ohen.

62
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: We have so much more to accomplish, but let us

63
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: begin here in this three o'clock hour, the Dan O'Donnell Show,

64
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: with yours truly, Matt kittle Well. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy

65
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: was in Milwaukee today talking about those naughty air traffic controllers.

66
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: We know that many flights have been delayed or canceled

67
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: because of this government shutdown, this stupid political theater that

68
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: has gone on in record time, forty plus days of

69
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: this nonsense, and now it appears to be coming to

70
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: an end with a House vote in the offing. But

71
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: Sean Duffy was in Milwaukee today. Matt Smith from WISN

72
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: asked him about how we handle the air traffic controllers

73
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: who decided, well, we're not getting paid, we ain't showing

74
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: up for work.

75
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: For air traffic controllers who have called in sick for

76
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 2: whatever the reason during the shutdown, should they be punished?

77
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: Well, I think what we have to realize is we

78
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: have some controllers who were put in a very difficult position.

79
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 3: They they don't make a lot of money when they

80
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 3: first start out. They can make some good money later

81
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: in their careers, but when they start out, they're not

82
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: making a lot. May be the sole source of income,

83
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 3: and they were confronted with a real problem, do I

84
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 3: not feed my family or do I try to find

85
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: another pathway to put food on the table. And that

86
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: was very real and I'm cognizant of that. I want

87
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 3: to be unfair to people, and that was what they

88
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: were working in front with. On the flip side, the

89
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: President yesterday said, we are going to reward the controllers

90
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 3: that actually came to work that had no missed scheduled

91
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: days of work ten thousand dollars bonus. He put it out.

92
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree with him more. We should reward them. Now,

93
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 3: how many I'm gonna have that actually showed up every

94
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: single schedule day, I'm not sure. We have to analyze that.

95
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: But I also, I mean, I also want to look

96
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 3: and say, who do we have a continual bad actors?

97
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: Were some controllers from the very beginning when they hadn't

98
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: missed a paycheck had they started to take time off

99
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: because the shutdown was an excuse for them. We'll look

100
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 3: at those people, and we'll work with the union and

101
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: see what an appropriate response from the FAA will be.

102
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: Should they be docked, Should they be docked? As the

103
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: President said.

104
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 3: Well, so the way this bill I believe is going

105
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: to work is they won't be doctora w paid.

106
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: That's again Matt Smith from WNTV talking to Transportation Secretary

107
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: Sean Duffy at the Milwaukee Airport today. Interesting. Of course,

108
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: if you're old enough like me several centuries old, it

109
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: feels like my kids certainly make me feel that way

110
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: on a daily basis. But you remember when Ronald Reagan

111
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: first took the White House. You remember what happened to

112
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: the air traffic controllers that didn't want to work and

113
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: didn't want to show up for work at that point

114
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: in time. We'll see what happens here now. Again, I

115
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: understand what Transportation Secretary Duffy is saying. There are a

116
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: lot of people, I think understandably so working for this

117
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: federal government that weren't being paid for several weeks and

118
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: they said, I'm not getting paid, screw you. Why should

119
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: I show up for work. Of course, these are people

120
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 1: in a very important positions, people who well we depend

121
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: on to travel safely. Of course, thankfully we haven't seen

122
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: any major catastrophe because of this stuff, So I think

123
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: there is a difference here, and ultimately the people who

124
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: truly didn't show up to work because they were using

125
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: it for an excuse above and beyond. And it reminds

126
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: me of the COVID timeframe when so many in government,

127
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: including Democrat House members, decided they weren't going to show

128
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: up to work because oh.

129
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: This.

130
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: Nasty cold and head cold and cough was going to

131
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: take us all down. Similar sort of situation. We will

132
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,599
Speaker 1: see what happens on that front. Also from WISN, I

133
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: thought this was an interesting story here in Milwaukee. Did

134
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: you see this? Seven people were arrested overnight Tuesday after

135
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: officers say they found a group inside the vacant Radison

136
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: Hotel near Mayford Mayfair Road and North Avenue. While Watosa

137
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: police were called to the now closed property shortly after

138
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: twelve thirty am, officers were seen going in and out

139
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: of rooms doing their search of the vacant buildings. At

140
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: one point, get this, A twelve news crew on scene

141
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: observed multiple individuals wearing what appeared to be care Bear

142
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: costumes being escorted out of the building in handcuffs. That's right,

143
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: my friend, the care Bears have been arrested in Tosa.

144
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: Apparently as the arrest was taking place, as the care

145
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: Bears are being taken out of the closed down hotel,

146
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,479
Speaker 1: this could be heard for miles around.

147
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 5: Camps countdown, four, three twos, that.

148
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: Common and somewhere yes, moving bride children of the eighties

149
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: will remember this. Of course, these creepy bears come around

150
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: with hearts on their shirts. And I think this was

151
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: the opening of the DEI movement, the the sensitive learning,

152
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: the empathetic learning movement, starting with the care Bears back

153
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties. And apparently these freaks have shown

154
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: up at a worn down hotel and wall with Tosa.

155
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: All right, coming up straight ahead, We're going to delve

156
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: into a very very serious topic on this Veteran's Day,

157
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: on how we are taking care of our veterans. What

158
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: are we doing most importantly, what are we not doing

159
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: for our veterans even as the Pentagon spends a trillion

160
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: dollars a year. An interesting new book on that subject

161
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Ben Freeman of the Quincy Institute straight

162
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: ahead on this Tuesday edition of The Dan o'donald Show

163
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: with Matt Kittle. Hang on there, it's The Dan o'donald Show,

164
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: the Tuesday, November eleventh edition. Lots of folks in Kenosha

165
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: Racine County still digging out from an early I was

166
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna say early winter snowstorm. It's mid fall. For the

167
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: love of God, Hey, if you're digging out there where

168
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: we got totals in some places of double digit snowfall,

169
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: if you would please, as you dig out the snow

170
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: and you drive away your sidewalk, see if you can

171
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: find the missing Packers offense in there. They lost it

172
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: somewhere in Wisconsin last night. Oh yes, it didn't show

173
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: up to lambeau Field. So it's somewhere out there. We

174
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: know it, but it's not showing up. Of late. We

175
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: are failing our veterans. I think we can say that

176
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: with a great deal of confidence. We have been able

177
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: to say that, unfortunately, with a great deal of confidence

178
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: for some time. This year, for the first time, the

179
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: Pentagon's budget topped one trillion dollars. We're told this money

180
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: is to support the troops. Unfortunately, nothing could be further

181
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: from the truth. In so many ways, While tens of

182
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: thousands of veterans are homeless, hundreds of thousands are going hungry,

183
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: the Pentagon is wasting billions on things like fifteen hundred

184
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: dollars coffee cups, one hundred and fifty thousand dollars soap dispensers.

185
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: Ben Freeman of the Quincy Institute, co author of the

186
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,479
Speaker 1: new book out today now, The Trillion Dollar War Machine,

187
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: joins us on this edition of the Dan O'Donnell Show.

188
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, sir, Thank you so much for joining us.

189
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 2: It's a pleasure to be with you. Thanks for having me.

190
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: This is an interesting book, it is. It's a book

191
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: that I think will shed a lot of light on

192
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: what a former senator here in Wisconsin used to do

193
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: on a regular basis, and that is to show the

194
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: waste and the criminal waste that we have in the Pentagon.

195
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: Let's start there. You're talking about the stuff that old

196
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: Senator Bill Proxmyer used to shine a light on many

197
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: many years ago. Really, we're still paying fifteen hundred dollars

198
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: for coffee cups one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for

199
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: soap dispensers.

200
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 2: It's yeah, unfortunately we are. It's the same story over

201
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: and over again, you know. You know, if you remember

202
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: back to the two thousand dollars toilet seats from the eighties,

203
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: you know, the same problems decade decades later, where we're

204
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: paying way too much for things. On most folks, you know,

205
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: you go to your local Walmart there and get you

206
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: a thirty dollars YETI that would probably be better than

207
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 2: some of these fifteen hundred dollars coffee cups. But unfortunately,

208
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: that's the taxpayer money that's so being wasted that depending

209
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 2: on these days.

210
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: That's infuriating enough, Ben, But when we think about how

211
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: many veterans are out there who serve their country courageously, bravely,

212
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: whether it be just you know, in standard military service

213
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: or being thrown into more danger and harm's way in

214
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: theaters of war and conflict, they are going without how

215
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: deep does this thing run?

216
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that was one of the main reasons that

217
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: we wrote The Trillion Dollar War Machine. There's this there's

218
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: this terrible enormous disconnect between how we're treating our veterans

219
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 2: and a lot of our active duty military personnel too.

220
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: Right now, you know, especially during the government shutdown, it's

221
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: about a quarter of military families that are facing food insecurity.

222
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: It's only been exacerbated by the shutdown and these discontinuities

223
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: in their pay. And so, you know, some service members

224
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 2: that we talked to as we were writing the book,

225
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: they're telling us that they're literally skipping meals just so

226
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: they can feed their kids. And now at the very

227
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: same moment, we're in this historic spending environment where the

228
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: Pentagon budget hits a trillion dollars for the first time,

229
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 2: and so, you know, we asked the simple question, where's

230
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: all that money going? And the answer is most of

231
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: the Pentagon's budget now goes to private contractors, and in

232
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: a lot of cases, the executive that these companies are

233
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: being paid tens of millions of dollars. You know, they're

234
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: buying second and third mansions, while the troops that are

235
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: actually defending America and you know, and fighting America's wars,

236
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: helping to keep us safe, while all those folks are

237
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: going hungry. We don't think that's right, and that's a

238
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: big reason why we wrote The Trillion Dollar War Machine

239
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: to let everybody know about that.

240
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think that's right either. I don't think

241
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: most people listening to our conversation right now would think

242
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: that's right. It's it's maybe too early to tell, But

243
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: how well has this administration, the Trump administration with Defense

244
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: Secretary Pete Hegseth, how well have they done to meet

245
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: the moment so far compared to what we saw on

246
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: the Biden administration or administrations pass.

247
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: I mean, what we see is it doesn't really matter

248
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: whether it's a Republican or a Democrat in the White House.

249
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 2: We see kind of this same pattern of spending where

250
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 2: you know, the rank and file military personnel and military

251
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: veterans they're getting the short end of the stick. And

252
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: when we've seen this for years, and you know, in

253
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: the Trump administration and in the Biden administration just kind

254
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: of kind of whittling away of veteran benefits at the

255
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: same time that there's always more money for these big

256
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: weapons systems like the F thirty five latoral Combat Shift,

257
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 2: you know, these big weapons that often aren't underperforming weapons frankly,

258
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: and so again it's just you know, an enormous disconnect,

259
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: you know that we're seeing between the money going in

260
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: and what's coming out for those folks who are actually

261
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 2: defending the country.

262
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: Ben Freeman of the Quincy Institute, co author of the

263
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: new book out today, The Trillion Dollar War Machine, joining

264
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: us on this edition of the Dan O'donnald Show with

265
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: yours truly, Matt Kittle. It's not to say that we

266
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: don't need to bolster our defenses. I don't think from

267
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: those who really look at the dangers of the world,

268
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: whether it be with our enemies in China or Russia

269
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: or still the Middle East, it's a very dangerous world.

270
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: It demands a strong United States of America. That said,

271
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: what are we wasting our money on in terms of defense,

272
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: the sort of things that are supposed to you know,

273
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: secure this country, to defend this nation.

274
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. And that's the other thing

275
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: that's sort of infuriated us as we were looking at

276
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: this process. We very much agree with you. You know, we'd

277
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: like to have a very very healthy military, a strong,

278
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 2: robust defense. But what we're seeing is we keep throwing

279
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 2: good money after bad you know, we're putting money into

280
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 2: weapons systems, like I mentioned the F thirty five, and

281
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: yet we're in an era of droughts and unmanned aerial vehicles,

282
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: and you know, what we're seeing on the battlefield in

283
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: Ukraine and you know in Israel and elsewhere is that

284
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: you know, this is an era of enhanced defense technology,

285
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: and yet what so what our military is doing is

286
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 2: kind of doubling down on the Cold War technology, which

287
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: you know might have been really useful to defeat the Soviets.

288
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 2: You know, you know, it's clear it's not a lot

289
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: of this equipment is not very well designed to defeat

290
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 2: the Russian military of today, as we're seeing in Ukraine,

291
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: you know, let alone from the other adversaries that are

292
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: out there, like China. You know, it's a country it's

293
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 2: investing in a lot of advanced military technology. They're doing

294
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 2: it a lot quicker than the US is in some cases.

295
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: And so you know, that was another big reason for

296
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 2: us looking at how we're spending the money that we have,

297
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 2: It very much seems like we're spending it to win

298
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: the wars of the past, not the wars of the future.

299
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: And Putin and G of course, are watching this all

300
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: play out in real time very closely. The best example

301
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: test of that is what is happening, of course in Ukraine.

302
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: These days, there's a there's an issue that we can

303
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 1: no longer hide from in this country, our government and

304
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: our people. America's military veterans make up just six percent

305
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 1: of the adult population, but they account for about twenty

306
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: percent of all suicides. That means that each day, about

307
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: eighteen veterans will die by suicide. What are we doing

308
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: on that front as we spend money on fifteen hundred

309
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: dollars coffee cups.

310
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 2: Well, we're actually taking money away from programs that would

311
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 2: would help the combat veteran suicide. And we're exacerbating some

312
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 2: of these problems. And you know mentioned, you know, Trump

313
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: versus buying administration. One of the things that the Trump

314
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 2: administration is doing that I think is quite harmful to

315
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 2: veterans is a lot of the firings of government personnel.

316
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 2: And you know, some of these furloughs, and regardless of

317
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: what you think about, you know, wasteful spinning in the

318
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: federal government, there's certainly a ton of that. The fact

319
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 2: is that a disproportionate amount of the federal workers who

320
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: who have been fired are furloughed have been veterans. And

321
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: so you now have more and more veterans who are unemployed,

322
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 2: are underemployed, and the veterans homelessness rate is going up

323
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: as well. All of these things create an economic environment

324
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: that only exacerbates the stress, only increases those statistics on

325
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 2: veterans suicide. So you know, again we have just these

326
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: terrible misplaced priorities. We're veterans once again are getting the

327
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 2: short end of the sticks.

328
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, clearly the problem is manifold. It's something that we

329
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: need to consider in the private sector as well. I

330
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: know there are a lot of businesses out there that

331
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: do well to think about hiring veterans, but there are

332
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: a lot of businesses that aren't doing that or aren't

333
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: considering that. There's a long way to go to take

334
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: care of this massive problem. And I think it's more

335
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: than fitting that we talk about this on Veterans Day.

336
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: Ben Freeman of the Quincy Institute, co author of the

337
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: new book The Trillion Dollar War Machine. Where can folks

338
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: find that book, sir?

339
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 2: Anywhere books are sold, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, you name it,

340
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 2: you'll find us there.

341
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: Thank you, Matt, fair enough, that's easy enough. Thank you, Ben,

342
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: appreciate it very much. Yeah, it's a second state of affairs.

343
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 1: We got a lot of money going into understandably so

344
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: the protection of our nation, in our defense. But what

345
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: about the people that paid a high price to serve

346
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: this country? What about our veterans? And that's the question

347
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: we need to be asking, not just on this vetter,

348
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: but every day. We'll take a quick break. You got

349
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: fair warning, as the Federalist Sean Fleetwood writes today. The

350
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: Federalist Sean Fleetwood wrote less than five months ago, Associate

351
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas warned that the US

352
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: Supreme Court's decision in Trump vi. Casa limiting lower court's

353
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: use of nationwide injunctions failed to address loopholes open to

354
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: abuse by left wing activist and judges. Now they can

355
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: say I told you so over and over again. We'll

356
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: talk with Sean who covers all things Supreme Court for

357
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,760

Speaker 1: this fine radio station. Well, we turn our attention to

373
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: the I guess it's more than a silent coup going

374
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: on in our nation's federal judicial system and quite frankly

375
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: at the state level, in local levels as well. Sean Fleetwood,

376
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: who writes about all things Supreme Court at the Federalist,

377
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: has the headline today ongoing judicial coup proves Alito Thomas,

378
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: We're right about the weak Supreme Court injunction ruling back

379
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: this past summer. All along, they get more right as

380
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: the days go on. Sean Fleetwood joins us. Now, good afternoon, sir,

381
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: how are you.

382
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 6: I'm doing well? Thanks so much for having.

383
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: Me absolutely great peace today because I think it really

384
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: drives home the idea that you are not going to

385
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: get a change from these liberal activist lower federal courts

386
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: in this particular ruling. But let's go back to a

387
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: few months ago when the US Supreme Court decision in

388
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: Trump Vicsa came out a limited lower court's use of

389
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: nationwide injunctions because at that time they were absolutely abusing

390
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: the injunctions and what their actual powers in these lower

391
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: courts were as it related to them. And guess what,

392
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: they are still abusing that power. So what gifts.

393
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 6: Right, So, like you said, the Supreme Court and Trump

394
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 6: Vicasa limited the use of lower courts nationwide injunctions and

395
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 6: basically saying no, a single federal district court does not

396
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 6: have the authority to unilatterly halt policy from the executive

397
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 6: branch for the entire country. But what was really notable

398
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 6: in that decision is you had a concurring opinion that

399
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 6: was authored by Justice Alito, which Justice Thomas signed onto,

400
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 6: basically you know, saying, yes, this decision is a good

401
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 6: step in the right direction, but here are several loopholes

402
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 6: that I think we should be concerned about that some

403
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 6: of these activist judges are going to exploit, and so

404
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 6: he highlighted several these issue areas. One of them was

405
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 6: of the issue of third party standing. So he posed

406
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 6: kind of a hypothetical situation, asking the question, well, if

407
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 6: you have a group of plaintiffs that sue the Trump

408
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 6: administration over a certain policy and ask the district court

409
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 6: judge to issue an injunction blocking that policy. If a state,

410
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 6: for example, is granted third party standing to that suit,

411
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 6: and the judge grants the request for the injunction, would

412
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 6: that injunction then apply to all of the residents of

413
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 6: that state? In other words, would the state be able

414
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 6: to obtain some form of vast broad relief for their

415
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 6: constituents even though that those individuals aren't necessarily a party

416
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 6: to that specific suit. So that was one area, and

417
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 6: then the other major one was this issue of class certification,

418
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 6: where basically you might have an individual or group of

419
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 6: individuals that will file a lawsuit against the Trump administration,

420
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 6: for example, and they ask the judge in this overseeing

421
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 6: the case to certify a class basically saying, we're representing

422
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 6: this larger group of people here. Can you certify these

423
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 6: people as a class to this suit, so that any

424
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 6: potential injunction would then cover those individuals as well. And

425
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 6: so that's the type of antics that we've been seeing

426
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 6: in the months since the Costa decision. In fact, several

427
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 6: days after the Costa decision came down that a new

428
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 6: Hampshire judge certified a class and it challenged the President

429
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 6: Trump's birthright Citizenship order, basically covering it for the whole country,

430
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 6: for all individuals affected by that order. So those are

431
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 6: the type of antics that we've been seeing in the

432
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 6: months since the cost of decision that have really just

433
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 6: proven Aliito and Thomas correct.

434
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: I bring up a name to you that you are

435
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: well familiar with. You have written about this judge on

436
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: a fairly frequent basis at the federalist judge James E.

437
00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: Jeb Bosberg, the Chief Judge of the United States District

438
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: Court for the District of Columbia in Obama appointee. This

439
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 1: guy has absolutely abused his power on this front and others.

440
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: I bring up the judge in this case because I

441
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: think it's exhibit A for everything that's happening out there

442
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: with these rogue activist federal judges. They're doing this stuff,

443
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: but are any of them ever being disciplined. I know

444
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: there is some kind of movement or at least talk

445
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: of impeaching Boseburg, but there really hasn't been anything from

446
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court in reigning this stuff in after that decision.

447
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely correct. I mean, you know, we

448
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 6: hear lots of talk of impeachment from Republicans in Congress.

449
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 6: They said the same thing about in teaching Joe Biden

450
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 6: about the foreign influence operations and business dealings that his

451
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 6: family was involved in, and of course nothing ever materialized

452
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 6: about that. So I'm not confident on the congressional front.

453
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 6: But we have seen some glimmers of frustration from some

454
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 6: of the Supreme Court justices, I think in some of

455
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 6: these cases that have been appearing on the emergency docket.

456
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 6: So a couple months ago, you had a case called

457
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 6: Department of Education versus California, basically a challenge to the

458
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 6: Trump Education Department slashing funds from going to DEI related adventures.

459
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 6: A lower court judge placed an injunction blocking that policy,

460
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 6: and the Supreme Court, on its emergency docket, ultimately paused

461
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 6: of that injunction. While the litigation continued, and then several

462
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 6: weeks later, in almost identical case, this time just involving

463
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 6: the NIH came before the Supreme Court, and the Supreme

464
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 6: Court basically had to step in again and lift this injunction.

465
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 6: But in doing so, Justice Gorsich authored a concurring opinion

466
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 6: in which Justice Kavanaugh signed onto, basically saying lower courts

467
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 6: are free to disagree with decisions from the Supreme Court,

468
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 6: but they are never free to defy them. And you,

469
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 6: basically making this rus are kind of prodding the lower

470
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 6: courts and saying, you know, you guys do not have

471
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 6: the ability to defy what we are ordering here. But again,

472
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 6: that frustration, while understandable, could have been avoided had the

473
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 6: Court in some respects been more forceful, I think in

474
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 6: its majority decision in the cost of case and really

475
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 6: kind of laying down the law and saying to the

476
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 6: lower courts, you know, the Supreme Court is supreme for

477
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 6: a reason within the judicial branch, and the lower judiciary

478
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 6: needs to really get in line here.

479
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: Sean Fleetwood from the Federalists joining us on The Dan

480
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: O'Donnell Show with Yours Julie Matt Kittle this Tuesday afternoon

481
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: we're talking about these rogue judges, the coup, the judicial

482
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: coup that's going on at every level, on the lower level,

483
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: I should say, on the lower levels of the judiciary

484
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: and the federal system to defy everything that has been

485
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: basically put out there by the Trump administration and the

486
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: executive branch, you know, Sean. Not only have we had

487
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: lower courts disagreeing with the Supreme Court obviously, and lower

488
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: courts ignoring the Supreme Court, which is a bigger problem,

489
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: we have lower courts and members of the Supreme Court

490
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: getting quite confrontational with the Supreme Court. I think about

491
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: some cases at the you know, the district level, and

492
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: then I think about Justice Katanji Brown Jackson, who quite

493
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: frankly is her own judicial institution. How does this court

494
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: ultimately respond to all of this stuff and really this

495
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: rebellion that's going on from these leftist, activist judges and

496
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: even a justice.

497
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 6: It's a great question. I don't know if I have

498
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 6: the answer. I mean, that's part of the frustration. What's

499
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 6: so frustrating about this is you can put out as

500
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 6: many opinions as you want, but until you kind of

501
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 6: really lay down the law in a forceful way rather

502
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 6: than just kind of dancing around the issue. You know,

503
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 6: I don't think that that's going to really solve the problem.

504
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 6: I mean, even Justice Kagan, who is appointed by President Obama,

505
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 6: there was an emergency docket related case that had come

506
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 6: up several months ago involving immigration policy from the Trump administration,

507
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 6: and she initially cided against the Trump administration and saying, no,

508
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 6: I'm not going to, you know, say we should pause

509
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 6: this lower court injunction. But then the lower court judge

510
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 6: in that case basically told the Trump administration, actually, the

511
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 6: Supreme Court's ruling doesn't affect my injunction, so you guys

512
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 6: have to keep abiding by it. And so the Trump

513
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 6: administration went back to the Supreme Court, and this time,

514
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 6: in emotion to clarify the court's prior order, Kagan joined

515
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 6: the Republican appointees, and she basically put out a concurring

516
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 6: opinion saying, you know, I don't agree with the Court's

517
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 6: decision to stay the injunction, but I don't really see

518
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 6: how a district court judge can order the federal government

519
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 6: to base ignore a directive or you know, a ruling

520
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 6: from this court. So you know, you again, you can

521
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 6: have all of this pent up frustration. You can author

522
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 6: these concurring opinions, but until you kind of really be

523
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 6: very forceful and laying down the law in some of

524
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 6: these cases and going on the record and telling the

525
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 6: lower court judges to get in line or get out.

526
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 2: Of the way.

527
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 6: I mean, this type of lower judicial insurrection is going

528
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 6: to continue to happen. And you know that's on the

529
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 6: Supreme Court side. But also again, Congress has a responsibility too.

530
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 6: They have oversight over the federal judiciary. What are they

531
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 6: doing absolutely nothing to stop this. So you know, the

532
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 6: Supreme Court is going to do what they want, but

533
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 6: I think that the pressure from we the people needs

534
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 6: to be on our elected Republicans to actually get off

535
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 6: their rear ends and do something about this.

536
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with you more. Historically speaking, it reminds

537
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: you of Andrew Jackson and turning to John Marshall and saying, sure,

538
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: you have this ruling, but who's going to enforce your order? Justice?

539
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: And that's what we have with the Supreme Court itself.

540
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: Just have a couple of minutes left, wanted to turn

541
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: our attention to a very important case. The Supreme Court

542
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: has decided to take on election law. It is Watson

543
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: versus the Republican National Committee. This is all about mail

544
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: in ballot sean and really about when an election technically,

545
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: well not just technically but legally has to end. Because

546
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 1: we have all of these states, even red states, that

547
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: continue to accept mail in ballots long after election day.

548
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: What did you think of the Supreme Court taking this case?

549
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: Where do you think it's going to go from here?

550
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 6: I was pleasantly surprised that they'd taken it up. When

551
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 6: it comes to election related matters, the Supreme Court and

552
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 6: just courts in general typically tend to shy away from

553
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,240
Speaker 6: that stuff. They don't really want to involve the court

554
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 6: too much in the elections process. But I think on

555
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 6: an issue like this, it's I find it very interesting.

556
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 6: As far as where it goes, I don't really know.

557
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,280
Speaker 6: This particular court has been kind of hit or missed

558
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 6: when it comes to election issues, so I'm not entirely

559
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 6: certain how they're going to come down on it. But

560
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 6: if any indication I think that we can look is

561
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 6: maybe a case that was actually heard by the Supreme

562
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 6: Court several weeks ago. It's called Boss the Illinois State

563
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 6: Board of Elections that lawsuit was against an Illinois state

564
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 6: law having to bring a ballots after election day. But

565
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 6: more to the central issue of that particular case was

566
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 6: whether federal candidates have standing to sue over election laws

567
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 6: and rules and things of that nature. And you can't

568
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 6: always go off of oral arguments because they're not always

569
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 6: indicative of how the justices are going to rule. But

570
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 6: I would say a majority of the justices during oral

571
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 6: arguments for that case sounded particularly positive for Judicial Watch,

572
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 6: who is suing on behalf of Congs and Boston that case.

573
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 6: So what that means for this case, I'm not exactly sure,

574
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 6: but I think that in a general sense, you can

575
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 6: kind of gauge how the justices are thinking about these

576
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 6: issues when you tune into oral arguments and seeing what

577
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 6: provisions of the law that we're going they're going to

578
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,320
Speaker 6: be focusing in on in that case.

579
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: But we will have a ruling on this by terms end, certainly,

580
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: and that is before the twenty twenty sixth election. Am

581
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: I correct in saying that? Yes?

582
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 6: So we will get it rolling on this by the

583
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 6: either the end of June or the very early days

584
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 6: of July, and so I think that's going to be

585
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 6: interesting to see how that's going to impact state elections

586
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 6: for the twenty twenty six May terms. I also find

587
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 6: it interesting that this is dealing more specifically with kind

588
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 6: of the federal this kind of conflict between you know,

589
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 6: state law versus federal law when it comes to elections.

590
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 6: You know, elections by nature have typically have been overseen

591
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 6: by the state, but you also have that complexity of

592
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 6: having federal races, like for House and Senate, they kind

593
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 6: of mix in between the federal government and state government

594
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 6: when it comes to maning election rules. So I think

595
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 6: that that's going to be really interesting to see how

596
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 6: the Court juggles that kind of federalism issue that seems

597
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 6: to be really at play here.

598
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Supremacy Clause will have something to say about

599
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: that as well, we shall see. Shawn Fleetwood from the Federalists,

600
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us with a little perspective

601
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: on where things stand with this Supreme Court with their

602
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: rebellious underlings. Appreciate your time.

603
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 6: Thanks so much, Matt Douglass, You bet you too.

604

Speaker 1: Shawn Fleetwood again not only an excellent reporter on all

605
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 1: things Supreme Court, but he's part of the Federalist elections

606
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: Integrity team doing a lot of great work investigating shenanigans

607
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: in elections, to say the very least. Coming up straight ahead,

608
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: we'll have another chance for you to win a thousand

609
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: dollars in our Fall Fortune Cash contest and a conversation

610
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: for animal lovers. That next in the Dan o'donald Show

611
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: with Matt Kittle. Hang on, Welcome back thrill Seekers, our

612
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: number two of our little get together on this Tuesday,

613
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 1: November eleventh, twenty twenty five, in the year of our

614
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: Lord Veterans Day, and the Dan o'donnald Show with your

615
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: radio talk show host villain Daddy Matt Kittle, the lesser known,

616
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: less talented Kittle. I don't play football for a living,

617
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: and if I did, that would be a miscalculation on

618
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: my part, part of many miscalculations in this old fellow's life. Hi,

619
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: how are you? How would you like to win one

620
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars? Well, let's take care of that right now,

621
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: shall we. It's our Fall Fortune Cash Contest. What do

622
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: you say? Yeah, he said, Fall Fortune Cash Contest. Very good.

623
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: You have until fifty five minutes past the hour to

624
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: go to this station's website and enter the word deposit

625
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: de pos it deposit to enter the contest this hour. Yep,

626
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: that's the keyword that you need, deposit. Take it to

627
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,399
Speaker 1: the website of the fine radio station you are now

628
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 1: listening to enter the word deposit where it tells you

629
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 1: to do so. It's very intuitive, and perhaps you will

630
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: be our next thousand dollars winner in our nationwide fall

631
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 1: Fortune cash contest. We're going to do it again in

632
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour. Why because we like it. We

633
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: particularly like it when our listeners win free money. Again.

634
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: Your keyword this hour is deposit. Coming up a little

635
00:40:54,320 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: bit later in this four o'clock hour, chuck off. Hmm,

636
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: excuse me. Frustration is boiling over right now as we speak.

637
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 1: Frustration is boiling over among Democratic ranks against Senate Majority

638
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: leader Chuck Schumer, Democrat New York, after walking away from

639
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 1: the longest government shut down on record largely empty handed,

640
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: according to Fox News. We will delve into that and

641
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: hear what David Axelrod has to say about it all.

642
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,879
Speaker 1: I know you've been waiting for Dave's commentary on this.

643
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: The old henchman for President Barack Obama in his administration,

644
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: David Axelrod had some things to say about this basically

645
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: turning a sow's ear into a silk purse, or at

646
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: least trying to lord Democrats have lost The Washington Post,

647
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: at least on this particular issue. Will delve into that

648
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 1: coming up a little bit past four thirty. I hope

649
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: you will stay with us. In just a few minutes,

650
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a conversation with a gentleman by the

651
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: name of Jack. And what is Jack's last name? Yeah,

652
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 1: Jack Hubbard, of course it is, Yes, like Mother Hubbard

653
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: and her cupboard. You know those groups like your Humane

654
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: World for Animals, your ASPCA's, your Piza's, you know, all

655
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: those looney folks that go around throwing fake blood all

656
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: over fur coats and you know, put themselves in death

657
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: throws at the doors of the meat packers, all of

658
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. They come across as these large

659
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: organizations serving only for the benefit of the fair treatment

660
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 1: of animals, including pets. So I are more than six

661
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 1: hundred thousand cats and dogs euthanized every year at US

662
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: pet shelters. Meanwhile, groups like those I just mentioned are

663
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: making a mint off the best intentions of animal lovers everywhere,

664
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: arguably under false pretenses. Center for the Environment and Welfare,

665
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: an activist watchdog group, has released an interesting many documentary.

666
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: It's called Animal Charities Exposed, Part one, the shelter Euthanasia

667
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 1: Crisis and accompanying report Fat Cats and Dead Dogs, exposing

668
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: how these organizations raise hundreds of millions of dollars through

669
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: emotional advertising while providing minimal direct financial support to local shelters. Again,

670
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:04,840
Speaker 1: Jack Jack Hubbard, CEW's executive director, will join us in

671
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: a few minutes to talk more about that. It's an

672
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 1: eye opener, to say the very least, how much money

673
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: these entities take in and how little they actually do

674
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 1: to solve the problem. Although they did spend a lot

675
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: of money on Sarah McLaughlin's Arms of the Angel, the

676
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: commercial where she walks around amid a hellscape of animal

677
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: abuse while her hit Canadian song plays. It makes you

678
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: weep at night, doesn't it? Now? That was what it

679
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: was all about, indeed. But now let us begin here

680
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 1: this hour of the Dan O'Donnell Show with yours truly,

681
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: Matt Kittle. It looks like cross your fingers. It looks

682
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:56,240
Speaker 1: like the International Olympic Committee has decided to follow the science.

683
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: How about that? Found out yesterday, according to a report

684
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: in the Times of the UK, that the IOC is

685
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: prepared to ban men pretending to be women from women's

686
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: competitions in the whole Olympic sphere. And you're probably saying

687
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: to yourself self, It's about time, isn't it. It really is.

688
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: This was an exclusive yesterday from the Times of the

689
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: United Kingdom. The International Olympic Committee is set to announce

690
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: a ban on transgender women or again dudes pretending to

691
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: be women in female competition early next year, after a

692
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: science based review of evidence about permanent physical advantages of

693
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: being born male. Do you think about that for a

694
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: moment while you the average American yours, truly the average American.

695
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: We took our you know, our share of science classes.

696
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 3: You know.

697
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: Who could forget earth sciences from the Platteville High School

698
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: teacher who had been there for something like fifty five years,

699
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: Good old mac Attack, who would fall asleep during the

700
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: middle of a film about earth sciences. But if you

701
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: fell asleep, he would throw a in a racer at

702
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: your head. We learned a bit about the sciences, but

703
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: even you know, our meager learning, we understood that a

704
00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: man is a man and a woman is a woman,

705
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: and you can pretend all you want to be the

706
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: other sex. But if you were born a man, born

707
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 1: a baby boy, if you grow, you're going to grow

708
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: into a man, vice versa. But it took years of

709
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: science based review by the International Olympic Committee to come

710
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: to that conclusion. The IOC's guidance to Olympic sports has

711
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: until now been that trans women can compete with reduced

712
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: testosterone levels, but leaves it up to individual sports to decide.

713
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: That is now set to change under its new president,

714
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: Kirsty Coventry, who has promised to protect the female category.

715
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: Perhaps Ms Coventry saw what we all saw in the

716
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: last Summer Olympics, where the dude pretending to be a

717
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: woman towered over the female boxer and beat the living

718
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: hell out of her. There are myriad other examples, but

719
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: that one really comes to mind. The committee's Medical and

720
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: Scientific Director, doctor Jane Thornton, last week presented to IOC

721
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:25,920
Speaker 1: members at a meeting in France the initial findings of

722
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: a science based review into transgender athletes and competitors with

723
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: differences of sexual development competing in female sport. Sources told

724
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: The Times that the presentation by Thornton, a Canadian former

725
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: Olympic rower, stated that scientific evidence showed there were physical

726
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: advantages to being born male that remained with athletes, including

727
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: those who had taken treatment to reduce testosterone levels. It

728
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: was very scientific, factual and unemotional presentation which quite clearly

729
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: laid out the evidence, one source said. Another IOC insider

730
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: said there had been hugely positive feedback from IOC members

731
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: about the presentation. Well, that's very good that it was

732
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 1: very scientific factual. It's good that the IOC is getting

733
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: back to the science and to facts once again, reminding

734
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: us how long and we have been told by the

735
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: experts about following the science, and of course during COVID

736
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: the experts refuse to do so for political reasons, just

737
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: as the IOC failed to follow the science which was

738
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: right under their noses all along in the name of

739
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: politics as well. Coming up a little bit later this hour,

740
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: we have more fun from the view crew trying to

741
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: give us SmackDown to Lurt John Fetterman, I hope you

742
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: will stick around for that. But straight ahead an interesting

743
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 1: new report, Fat Cats and Dead Dogs, exposing how groups

744
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 1: like the ASPCA, Humane World for Animals IMPETA are making

745
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 1: a mint off the best intentions of animal lovers everywhere,

746
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:25,720
Speaker 1: arguably under false pretenses. We will talk to the maker

747
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: of that film, or at least the executive director of

748
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 1: the organization that put that documentary and report together, Jack

749
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 1: Hubbard of the Center for the Environment and Welfare. Straight

750
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 1: Ahead on this Tuesday edition of the Dan o'donnald Show,

751
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: with yours truly, Matt Kittle, stay with us radio, Amigo,

752
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: Matt Kittle in with you. How are you happy Veterans'

753
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:54,440
Speaker 1: Day to our veterans, Thank you and God bless you

754
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: for all of your service to this great nation. All right,

755
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: time to grab for the hanky, Time to grab for

756
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: the tissue. You remember this flipping around in the late

757
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: night channels and the old Doyal cable box. When's the monster?

758
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: When are the monsters coming? Then you see Sarah McLaughlin

759
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: holding a mangy looking cat walking around, this song playing

760
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: in the background, and it's hard the arms of the straps.

761
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: The angels was a bit of a distraction, of course,

762
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: a lot of money that a particular group that is

763
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 1: supposed to be watching over dogs and cats, pets, animals.

764
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: The paid a lot of money for this. But what

765
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: are they actually doing. That's the question, and I think

766
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: a new documentary will give you some answers to that.

767
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: Get this. In twenty twenty four, more than six hundred

768
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: thousand cats and dogs were euthanized in US pet shelters. Meanwhile,

769
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 1: groups like the ASPCA, Humane World for Animals, and PETA

770
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: are making a mint off of the best intentions of

771
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: animal lovers everywhere, arguably under false pretenses. The Center for

772
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: the Environment and Welfare and activist watchdog group has released

773
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 1: a mini documentary. It's called Animal Charities Exposed, Part One,

774
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 1: the shelter Euthanasia Crisis. There's an accompanying report with it,

775
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: it's called Fat Cats and Dead Dogs, exposing how these

776
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 1: organizations raise hundreds of millions of dollars through emotional advertising

777
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: like the song that you just heard from the Canadian

778
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: indie artist, while providing minimal direct financial support to local shelters.

779
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: Jack Hubbard, CEW's executive director, joins us now on the

780
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show. Good afternoon, Sarah, Thank you so much

781
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: for being here.

782
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 6: Thanks Matt, thanks for having me.

783
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: You bet you're probably glad that I cut the Sarah

784
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: McLaughlin when I did. We'd all be weeping. But in

785
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:33,760
Speaker 1: all seriousness, that song and that series of advertisements raised

786
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 1: a lot of money for one of these groups. Where

787
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,399
Speaker 1: did all of that money go?

788
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know that's it's a sad answer. It almost

789
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 4: makes me more sad than that commercial does, which is

790
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 4: that groups like the ASPCA in twenty twenty three they

791
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 4: had a budget of three hundred and fifty six million dollars.

792
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:01,239
Speaker 4: It's almost wild to think about. And they raise all

793
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 4: that money using commercials and direct mail and radio ads,

794
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 4: and when you actually look at who they are, it

795
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 4: leaves many donors shocked and outrage.

796
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 6: This is a.

797
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 4: Group that's based in New York City. They do operate

798
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 4: an adoption center in New York City, but they're totally

799
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 4: unaffiliated and don't serve it as an umbrella organization for

800
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 4: local SpCas all across the country. They pay their CEO,

801
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 4: Matt Birdschocker, one point two million dollars a year. They

802
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 4: have three hundred and eighty five staffers earning six figures

803
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 4: or more, and when you dig into their publicly available

804
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:47,720
Speaker 4: tax returns, only one percent of their budget is going

805
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 4: to local shelters as financial grants. That's a penny out.

806
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:53,160
Speaker 2: Of every dollar.

807
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 4: And my concern is that millions of Americans are seeing

808
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 4: these ads on television and they're pulling at their heartstrings

809
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 4: these images and then the music, and they're supporting these organizations,

810
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 4: these mega national charities, thinking that perhaps the money is

811
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 4: going to local shelters or local animals in their community,

812
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 4: and it's simply not.

813
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 6: So.

814
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: Really, none of this money from these big operations ASPCA,

815
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 1: Humane World for Animals which used to be known as

816
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: the Humane Society and PEDA. Of course, I think a

817
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: lot of us are aware of PEDA and its extreme tactics,

818
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: But all of that money that's come in, that money

819
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 1: is not going to local shelters where we see day

820
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:51,280
Speaker 1: after day calls for you know, people to take these

821
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: these animals into their homes to at least foster them,

822
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: adopt them so they will not be euthanized. And none

823
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 1: of that money from these big groups is going to

824
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:07,240
Speaker 1: these you know, small or local organizations.

825
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, one percent is going to local

826
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 4: pet shelters to go group by group. We just talked

827
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:19,479
Speaker 4: about the ASPCA, the Humane World for Animals formerly known

828
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 4: as the Humane Society. The United States, they're not much better.

829
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 4: They had a budget in twenty twenty three of one

830
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 4: hundred and seventy eight million dollars. They have a CEO

831
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,879
Speaker 4: who they pay six hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year.

832
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 4: One hundred and fifty seven staffers are in six figures

833
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 4: or more. The shocking thing is that this group, again,

834
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,800
Speaker 4: which was previously known as the Humane Society of the

835
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 4: United States for years, operates zero pet shelters.

836
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 2: So these people were.

837
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 4: Running ads on television with a name the Humane Society

838
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 4: of the United States now Humane World for Animals without

839
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 4: running a single head shelter, which is it's almost incomprehensible.

840
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 4: And when you dig into their tax returns it's a

841
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 4: similar story. Only one percent ends up going to local

842
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 4: shelters as financial grants. Now I wish that that was

843
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 4: the worst of it, but PEDA people for the Ethical

844
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 4: Treatment of Animals, it is perhaps one of the more

845
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 4: gruesome stories in the animal welfare slash rights movement. This

846
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 4: group is based. They have a shelter in Norfolk, Virginia.

847
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 4: They call it a shelter. I would call it a

848
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 4: euthanasia clinic. Because government records they have to disclose what

849
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 4: their euthanasia rate is in the state of Virginia, and

850
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 4: since nineteen ninety eight, PETA has euthanized eighty percent of

851
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 4: the cats and dogs. It's received over fifty thousand euthanasias

852
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 4: at their shelter. Now, this is the group that you know,

853
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 4: whereas lettuce bikinis covers themselves and sake blood, protests you

854
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:10,959
Speaker 4: for eating a cheeseburger, wants to control what you eat,

855
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 4: doesn't think you know you should be able to ever,

856
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 4: you know, breathe a dog, honey is deep slavery. All

857
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 4: the crazy views of this movement, and yet they're useanizing

858
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 4: eighty percent of the animals going back to nineteen ninety eight. So,

859
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:31,160
Speaker 4: you know, donors, especially as we're coming up to Giving Tuesday,

860
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 4: end of the year giving, people need to do their

861
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 4: homework and make sure that they don't write checks to

862
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 4: organizations that you know, perhaps aren't who they think they are.

863
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 4: Our polling suggests that when you ask the public, you know,

864
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 4: what do you think a group like the Humane Society

865
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 4: of the United States? Does you know? I think it's

866
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 4: over eighty percent think they run local pet shelters, but

867
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 4: they just don't. So we need people to do their

868
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 4: homework because local shelters really do need support, and they're

869
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 4: totally unaffiliated with these fact cats.

870
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 1: Jack Hubbard, CEW's executive director. It's the Center for the

871
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: Environment and Welfare. They have a new documentary out of

872
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: any documentary it's called Animal Charities Exposed. Part one of

873
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 1: that series is the Shelter Euthanasia Crisis. PETE is basically

874
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:31,919
Speaker 1: running a slaughterhouse. You mentioned according to what you found

875
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: in this investigation, Jack, you mentioned you know that people

876
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: just don't have any idea about where the money actually goes.

877
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: They just hear the names. They've dealt with the names

878
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:48,840
Speaker 1: all of these years, and they just assume that the

879
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: Humane Society, you know, the people who are for the

880
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:59,240
Speaker 1: ethical treatment of animals, are doing just that. Isn't this

881
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 1: a It feels a lot like a fraud situation that's

882
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: being perpetrated on consumers out there or the donor network

883
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:08,959
Speaker 1: out there.

884
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 4: Yet, you know, there's a tremendous amount of confusion. I

885
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 4: would contend that some of the ads I've seen in

886
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 4: prior years were deceptive in nature, based upon the names

887
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 4: that were being used to fundraise and the imagery of

888
01:00:25,240 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 4: you know, cats and dogs and cages and shelters but

889
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 4: even aside from that, the saddest part, I mean, yes,

890
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 4: it leaves you outrage and you've become incredibly angry as

891
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 4: a donor when you find out that this is how

892
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 4: the money's being used, or I should say, how the

893
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 4: money's not being used. But the real shocking thing here,

894
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 4: and you touched on it in the opening of the segment.

895
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 4: Six hundred thousand cats and dogs being euthanized. That's enough

896
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 4: to fill Madison Square Garden over thirty times full of

897
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 4: dead cats and dogs in this country. And these groups

898
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 4: are raising combined over half a billion dollars a year,

899
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:14,919
Speaker 4: and yet shelter euthanasia totals have increased by forty three

900
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 4: percent since twenty twenty.

901
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 2: So the shelter, despite all.

902
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 4: Of that money, six hundred million dollars shelter euthanasia has

903
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 4: gotten worse, not better. And what that tells me is

904
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 4: that these groups aren't doing what they ought to be doing.

905
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 4: They're not impacting or reducing the euthanasia rate in this country.

906
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 4: It's been going up. And we need a massive education

907
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:47,919
Speaker 4: campaign in this country to redirect dollars to local pet

908
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 4: shelters because they're over I mean, they're overflowing with animals.

909
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 4: Many of their facilities are crumbling and in desperate need

910
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 4: of capital investment and improvement. And they've got dozens of

911
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 4: workers on the front lines in local communities that are

912
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 4: either volunteering or working for little to no pay to

913
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 4: try to save these animals. You know, I contend in

914
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 4: the report in our organization is that if these organizations

915
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 4: used that six hundred million dollars, they could probably save

916
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 4: every single animal that was euthanized last year. They simply

917
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 4: aren't doing that. So I encourage everyone to do their homework.

918
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 4: If you have older parents or relatives. These groups receive

919
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 4: tens of millions of dollars a year in bequests in

920
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 4: will and estate donations from elderly Americans who have seen

921
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 4: these ads sitting at home, and they might tell their

922
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 4: attorney or write in their will or state, oh, I'm

923
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 4: going to give the money to the ASPCA or the

924
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 4: Cuban World for animals.

925
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 2: Do they know all of this?

926
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 4: Probably not, and they need to be educated about the

927
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 4: high style is one point two million dollars a charity

928
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 4: CEO making running the ASPCA, only one percent going to

929
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 4: local shelters as financial grant Now these groups would argue

930
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 4: that they do do some good things, you know, maybe spay,

931
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 4: neuter clinics and things like that, and my response to

932
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 4: them is even a broken clock is right twice a day.

933
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 4: It doesn't invalidate everything. But with six hundred million dollars,

934
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 4: this money should be going much more. Money should be

935
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 4: going to local pet shelters all across this country. And

936
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 4: these people have simply failed to address the youth and

937
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 4: Asia crisis in recent years, with youth and Asias being

938
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 4: up forty three percent.

939
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 2: Since twenty twenty.

940
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 6: It's just totally unacceptable.

941
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, and it's clearly a space issue. You

942
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: see these local organizations that are really doing the work.

943
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: They are trying desperately to save these animals. They're understaff,

944
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 1: they're overworked, all of that, and this money is not

945
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: getting to them. If it did, we wouldn't have this

946
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: kind of crisis on our hands. Finally, where can where

947
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 1: can our listeners go to get this information? This mini

948
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 1: documentary and the accompanying report.

949
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you go to our website Environment and Welfare

950
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 4: dot com, you can see all of our information on

951
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 4: these groups. We have sort of transparency tools and briefing materials.

952
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 4: So that you can get smart quick on these organizations.

953
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 4: And if you visit our YouTube page and social media channels,

954
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 4: you can see part one of our three part mini documentary.

955
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 1: Jack Hubbard, Executive director of the Center for the Environment

956
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: and Welfare, thank you so much for joining us. Thank

957
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: you so much for shedding some very important light on

958
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 1: this issue.

959
01:04:59,040 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 2: Thanks so much.

960
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 1: You bet, yeah, just think about it. I mean, we

961
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: have three dogs at the Kittle Kasa. One is a

962
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: failed foster we got out of the shelter, a dog

963
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: named Happy who's a menace to society, but we love her.

964
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:24,280
Speaker 1: She's still a puppy. She's still chewing on everything. Yesterday

965
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 1: she decided that her favorite toy was a hair iron,

966
01:05:29,600 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: and my wife was not happy about that, was not

967
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:37,600
Speaker 1: happy with Happy. But we are dog lovers, and think

968
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 1: about just this country, just how many pet lovers there

969
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: are out there to know that all of this money

970
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: is coming into the ACPCA, excuse me, the ASPCA, the

971
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:55,080
Speaker 1: Humane World for Animals, even PETA, and the claims are

972
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: that this money is going to save these animals, when

973
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: according to the Center for the Environment and Welfare, they're

974
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: investigative reporting shows based on these organizations tax returns that

975
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 1: is very far from the truth. We'll take a quick break,

976
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: we'll talk a little shut down politics straight ahead. This

977
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 1: miserable thing is just about over. And guess who is

978
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: maybe going to pay the price in this Chuck you Schumer.

979
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that next on this edition of The

980
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show with Matt Kittle. Stay with us estion

981
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: of the Dan o'donald Show, yours truly Matt Kittle filling in.

982
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: How are you Dan's back with you tomorrow? By the way, Badgers,

983
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 1: look at those bat I'm not talking. I'm not talking

984
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: about those football Badgers. Yeah, we all have our thoughts

985
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: on this miserable season, but it all, it all goes

986
01:06:55,480 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: away if the Badger basketball team can keep doing what

987
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: it has been doing to start this year. The Badger's

988
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 1: rank twenty fourth on the AP Poll, and they'll be

989
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: taking on ball State tonight, David Latterman's old university, and

990
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm predicting a whooping. Not gonna give you a

991
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 1: final score, but I'm predicting a good old fashioned whooping.

992
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 1: A can of whoop. Posterior, don't forget you have a

993
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,840

Speaker 1: Fortune Cash contest. Will do it again in the five

1004
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. Oh, Sonny is she's not happy with old

1005
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: John Fetterman the lurch. You see, the Democrat from Pennsylvania has,

1006
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: at least for political sake, has had an eye opening

1007
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: experience looking at his party and saying, who the hell

1008
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:40,519
Speaker 1: are these people? What is this party? What is this

1009
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: party that used to exist when I was a kid

1010
01:08:43,320 --> 01:08:49,680
Speaker 1: but doesn't exist now? This band of lunatics that have

1011
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: commandeered the DNC, the Democratic Party of the United States

1012
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: of America. But on the view of course they are

1013
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: part of the commandeering of the Democrat Party and boy,

1014
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: did Sonny Hosten give old John Fetterman a piece of

1015
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: her mind? And let's face it, she doesn't have much

1016
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: to give in that regard.

1017
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:19,880
Speaker 5: Let's found more Americans on both sides of the aisle

1018
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 5: blaming Republicans. Even Marjorie Taylor Green blamed the GOP. As

1019
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,040
Speaker 5: you mentioned, Democrats have big wins last week, so you

1020
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 5: had momentum.

1021
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:29,720
Speaker 2: Why give in?

1022
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 4: Now?

1023
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 5: Why bring a butter knife to a gunfight? Are you

1024
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 5: willing to gamble that the golps will negotiate on health

1025
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:40,680
Speaker 5: care in good faith once the government reopens, Because if

1026
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:44,719
Speaker 5: that gamble is wrong, half a million Pennsylvanians that you represent,

1027
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 5: their healthcare cost will skyrocket if you sattle sat down.

1028
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 7: Well, for first of all, you MTG is quite literally

1029
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 7: the last person in America that I'm going to take

1030
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 7: advice or to get there are kinds of my leadership

1031
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 7: and values from. And now if Democrats are celebrating crazy

1032
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 7: pants like that, then that's on them. And now I

1033
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 7: don't need and I don't need a lecture. I don't

1034
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 7: need a lecture from from whether it's Bernie or the

1035
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 7: governor in California, because they are so presenting very deep

1036
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 7: blue blue kinds of populations, and I would like to

1037
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 7: rather than cite MTG, I'm going to cite one of

1038
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,720
Speaker 7: the new governor elects saying that my election is not

1039
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 7: a green light to continue this shutdown, because I promise

1040
01:10:32,080 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 7: you this isn't a political game.

1041
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: It is viewed by that by many of us.

1042
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 7: But the reality is forty two million Americans now not

1043
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,360
Speaker 7: sure where their next meal is going to come from.

1044
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 1: There you go, there's a lurch telling it like it is,

1045
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 1: at least how he sees it. Dewell Sonny Houston, hoston

1046
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 1: of the Mary Gang of Morons on the View. He's

1047
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: dealing with a reality that is not the View's reality.

1048
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:03,639
Speaker 1: And let's face it, the View has been the leader

1049
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: in the resistance movement against reality for some time. But

1050
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:14,599
Speaker 1: you know who's really in trouble now? Oh yeah, good old.

1051
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: If you Chuck you Schumer, oh yeah, Fox News will

1052
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 1: tell you that Democrats left empty handed and shutdown turn

1053
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: fury on the Chuckmeister. Frustration is boiling over among Democratic

1054
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: ranks against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, New York Democrat,

1055
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 1: after walking away from the longest government shutdown on record,

1056
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 1: largely empty handed make no mistake about it. These leftists

1057
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 1: got nothing that they wanted out of this deal, and

1058
01:11:55,160 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 1: this is their shutdown. This is Sonny can say all

1059
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 1: she wants, but when the Republicans wouldn't come to the

1060
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 1: negotiating table when they were in the Democrats' position, it

1061
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: was their shutdown, according to the view and according to

1062
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 1: the folks in the accomplice media. So it has to

1063
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 1: be if the shoe fits, then you're going to have

1064
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: to say it for both sides. And the Democrats own

1065
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: this shutdown, and they know they own this shutdown. That's

1066
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: why eight Democrats in the Senate defected and said we

1067
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 1: can no longer have this shutdown because it is actually

1068
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 1: killing us. And whatever they say about the polling, the

1069
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:47,600
Speaker 1: polls show that America blames Republicans and Donald Trump for this.

1070
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 6: You know what.

1071
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 1: The polls showed that Donald Trump didn't have a chance

1072
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: to win three elections and quite frankly won them all.

1073
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:04,240
Speaker 1: The polls have been dead wrong on so many things.

1074
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 1: I think the vast majority of Americans only care so

1075
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 1: much about this because frankly, it doesn't affect their lives.

1076
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 1: There are government workers, hundreds of thousands of them that

1077
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:20,680
Speaker 1: are very much impacted. They live in northern Virginia, a

1078
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:24,640
Speaker 1: great many of them. Guess who they voted for in

1079
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 1: last Tuesday's election. Yes, a deep blue state filled with

1080
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 1: government workers voted for the Democrat at the governor's level,

1081
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: at the attorney general's level. How they did it at

1082
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: the attorney general's level, even though the Democrat candidate fantasized

1083
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: about murdering Republican lawmakers and their children. That's what the

1084
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 1: Democrat Party is today, and in as deep blue as

1085
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 1: you go, the crazier it gets. But that's not America,

1086
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 1: that's not the rest of the United that's not vast

1087
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 1: portions of this state and this country. Most Americans want

1088
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 1: government to get the hell out of their way. But

1089
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:24,560
Speaker 1: here we are, the longest shutdown of all time. And ultimately,

1090
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: guess who's getting blamed for it? From the Democrats? No

1091
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 1: longer the Republicans. That was their message before. It's no

1092
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 1: longer the Republicans. I mean they can say, well, Donald Trump,

1093
01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 1: if we could have, boy, if we had a different president,

1094
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 1: if you know, this would be a lot different if

1095
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:44,800
Speaker 1: that nasty Donald Trump wasn't there, boy, we would we

1096
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 1: would have we would have this big shot deal, wouldn't

1097
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: we we would get healthcare. We would get Obama Care

1098
01:14:52,160 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: subsidies for all the dead beats out there, And make

1099
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,360
Speaker 1: no mistake about it, That's what they're That was the

1100
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 1: hill that they were dying on. That's what the Democrats

1101
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:12,759
Speaker 1: wanted out of this prolonged government shutdown. They wanted healthcare coverage,

1102
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: healthcare subsidies for the wreck that is Obamacare, to be

1103
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:24,479
Speaker 1: extended indefinitely into the future. Now keep in mind, these

1104
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 1: subsidies came out of sale, their salesmanship, their big pitch

1105
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:35,679
Speaker 1: during the pandemic that oh my goodness, if we don't

1106
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 1: expand these subsidies for people who make one hundred and

1107
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:43,920
Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars a year, we are just going to

1108
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:49,920
Speaker 1: collapse as an economy and as a nation. There are

1109
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 1: so many people that would be in that pie of

1110
01:15:54,240 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: subsidy expansions, so many people that should be getting their

1111
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: own insurance, quite frankly, and they can pay for their

1112
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 1: own insurance. There are some people who have fallen through

1113
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:14,000
Speaker 1: the cracks, and I get it, and we all get it.

1114
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 1: Our social welfare system, our safety net, should be going

1115
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: to people who desperately need the help. The assistance, and

1116
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:31,599
Speaker 1: I think most taxpayers agree, We'll be glad to fork

1117
01:16:31,680 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 1: out some tax dollars for that, but don't piss away

1118
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 1: our money. That's what we're getting sick of. And that's

1119
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 1: what the left, what Democrats don't understand. And this mope

1120
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:48,639
Speaker 1: of a minority leader in the Senate by the name

1121
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 1: of Chuck Schumer appears to have gambled and lost, because

1122
01:16:54,600 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 1: indeed he caved, he equivocated, he lost, and all of

1123
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:07,559
Speaker 1: those vultures, those radical youngsters on the Marxist left, are

1124
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: circling this guy's political corpse, Chuck Schumer's. Some argue that

1125
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:18,839
Speaker 1: Schumer squandered key leverage and failed to steer his caucus

1126
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: through the chaos to victory. I think that people did

1127
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:26,440
Speaker 1: what they could to get us out of the shutdown.

1128
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 1: But what has worked in the past isn't working now.

1129
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:34,680
Speaker 1: Senator Elisa Slotkin, Democrat Michigan said, And so we need

1130
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: to meet the moment, and we're not doing that. More so,

1131
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer isn't doing that in their eyes. But what

1132
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 1: do they want to do. They wanted to die on

1133
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 1: this hill longer. Try to pin this on the Republicans

1134
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 1: when this is the Democrat shutdown. The House is expected

1135
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: to vote tomorrow. This miserable, latest installment of insane political

1136
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 1: theater comes to an end. The President will sign the bill.

1137
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 1: We move on, and we move on now The Dan

1138
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: o'donalds Show with yours truly, Matt Kittle, stay with us

01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: up on this final hour of the show, we've got

1146
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 1: plenty to talk about, including you Can't Fix Stupid, a

1147
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 1: little analysis from last Tuesday's elections. Michelle Obama is such

1148
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 1: a phony. Perhaps we'll delve into that coming up a

1149
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 1: little bit later on this hour, and kissing Crockett's feet.

1150
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:14,080
Speaker 1: As I said, there's much much to get into coming up.

1151
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 1: Before we do anything, though, Let's see if we can

1152
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 1: make you one thousand dollars richer. It is our fall

1153
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: fortune cash contest. You now have fifty five minutes until

1154
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: fifty five minutes past the hour. If you want to

1155
01:19:28,160 --> 01:19:32,080
Speaker 1: look at it another way, that's until five before the hour,

1156
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 1: so Central time. That's a i'd be five fifty five again,

1157
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 1: about five minutes before this whole thing comes to an end. Today,

01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,680
Speaker 1: you have until fifty five minutes past the hour to

1161
01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:59,800
Speaker 1: keyword this hour absolutely apropos money m O n E.

1162
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:05,200

1166
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: or in the not too distant future from one of

1167
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:22,640
Speaker 1: our very kind, very nice I Heart Radio associates. Now

1168
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:27,639
Speaker 1: it'll be a number that you may not recognize. Doesn't matter,

1169
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 1: pick it up, because it very well could be the

1170
01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:35,640
Speaker 1: aforementioned kind iHeart Radio associate telling you that you're one

1171
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: thousand dollars richer in our fall fortune cash contest. Again,

1172
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:44,600
Speaker 1: the keyword this hour in this nationwide contest is money.

1173
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 6: N E y.

1174
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:51,000
Speaker 1: Good luck to you. You know, some names are just

1175
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 1: they're hard to get past. They certainly are, and it

1176
01:20:57,960 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 1: makes it difficult for people, well, you know the situation.

1177
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:09,920
Speaker 1: We've all gone to school with someone that that wipe

1178
01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: kid in the class, you know, who was always always

1179
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: getting into trouble or screwing things up or making life

1180
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:22,560
Speaker 1: difficult for you. Or maybe somebody you work with, you

1181
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: know always just you know, somebody named well. And these

1182
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: are just examples Bob or Larry, or Mary or Sue.

1183
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,719
Speaker 1: Now in the main, these are all very nice folks,

1184
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:37,240
Speaker 1: just like there are a lot of I don't know

1185
01:21:37,280 --> 01:21:39,760
Speaker 1: if you know this, but there are a lot of

1186
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 1: very sweet Karens out there. I happen to know a

1187
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: few of them. They're not the Karens that we talk

1188
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:51,640
Speaker 1: about in modern society, about the you know, nose into everything,

1189
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 1: complaining about everything, that sort of thing. You know, it's

1190
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 1: very nice Karen's out there, just as there are nice

1191
01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: Bobs and Larry's and Sue's and Mary's. Fewer and fewer

1192
01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:05,439
Speaker 1: of them, of course, we have you know, this isn't

1193
01:22:05,560 --> 01:22:09,000
Speaker 1: this isn't nineteen fifty four, and so the names change.

1194
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: But you know, so you know, or you get to

1195
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 1: know somebody who's just a really disagreeable person. And then

1196
01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 1: as you go about in your young married life, and

1197
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:23,639
Speaker 1: then you start to have children, you think about those

1198
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 1: names and what they pop up. You know, you automatically

1199
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:35,160
Speaker 1: veto that name. No, no, no, no, Mark. You know

1200
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,920
Speaker 1: what Mark did in shop class? Uh huh, I'm not

1201
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 1: naming our kid Mark. Just an example, like the name

1202
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 1: Prince Andrew is getting harder and harder to deal with,

1203
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, because he's accused with mounting evidence of being

1204
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 1: a pedophile, and a lot of people do not underst

1205
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:05,720
Speaker 1: standably like to be associated with the pedophiles. This from

1206
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: the Daily Beast publication I do not recommend you read

1207
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 1: because mostly it will lower your IQ. But I thought

1208
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:18,479
Speaker 1: this the story was an eye catcher. Headline is this

1209
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 1: People living on Prince Andrew Road demand name change. That's right,

1210
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:29,719
Speaker 1: those on that road want the street name changed. After

1211
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:34,560
Speaker 1: the King's brother was retitled you got a demotion that

1212
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:42,520
Speaker 1: Andrew did Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. Following years of Jeffrey Epstein

1213
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 1: Epstein related scandals, Tom Kirk thirty six says the address

1214
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 1: in the UK town of Maidenhead, Berkshire draws a smirk

1215
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:57,920
Speaker 1: or a raised eyebrow. And argues a moral case to

1216
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:04,400
Speaker 1: ditch it in by Prince Andrew close. Kelly Pev thirty

1217
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 1: nine says companies make a little joke whenever she gives

1218
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 1: her address. I'm sure it's you get a little chuckle

1219
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:18,960
Speaker 1: when the prime people turn up. King Charles is stripping

1220
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:24,280
Speaker 1: Andrew sixty five of his royal titles and lodging, partly

1221
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 1: over his alleged links to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. A YouGov

1222
01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 1: survey last week found ninety one percent of Britain's view

1223
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 1: Andrew negatively. Residents have contacted the Council to explore the

1224
01:24:43,200 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 1: process to rename the roads. Alternatives floated include Jeffrey Dahmer Drive,

1225
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,120
Speaker 1: Edie Amine Court. No, I'm kidding, of course, I'm kidding.

1226
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:04,759
Speaker 1: That is to suggest that Prince Andrew is within those ranks.

1227
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 1: You be the judge. I don't know. They are recommending

1228
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:12,799
Speaker 1: changes to Prince Alfred Road. You got some Prince Alfred

1229
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 1: in the You got Prince Alfred in the camp. Let

1230
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: him out, Prince George Road or river themed names. However,

1231
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:28,559
Speaker 1: the Royal Bureau of Windsor and Maidenhead requires unanimous consent

1232
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:34,599
Speaker 1: from affected owners and adherence to national conventions, plus residents

1233
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,839
Speaker 1: may be required to cover the cost of new signage.

1234
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:44,559
Speaker 1: How much is that gonna how much? Really? Seventy thousand

1235
01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: dollars for that? I guess it's pedophile lane. That's a

1236
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:55,640
Speaker 1: deal breaker for some. John Stamp ninety three calls the

1237
01:25:55,720 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 1: paperwork too much, while Janet Wise eighty seven says, changing

1238
01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: quote all your legal stuff would be a lot of work.

1239
01:26:05,439 --> 01:26:11,479
Speaker 1: So for now, Prince Andrew close it is, or Prince

1240
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 1: Andrew road, depending on where you reside. And now, what

1241
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:21,560
Speaker 1: the old man always told me in one of the

1242
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 1: great old man aphorisms of all time, and that is this,

1243
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 1: you can't fix stupid. There are derivations of that great saying,

1244
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 1: you can't legislate stupid away, you know, those sorts of things,

1245
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 1: But the truth holds is that stupid is very hard

1246
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 1: to fix. The expression definitely fits the blue states and

1247
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 1: blue cities that last week, a week ago today re

1248
01:26:56,479 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 1: elected or elected far left politicians to lead them deeper

1249
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 1: into the promised land of failure. This now coming from

1250
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:11,720
Speaker 1: one of my favorite reporters, investigators authors over there at

1251
01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:14,599
Speaker 1: the Federalist. I like the cut of this guy's jibby.

1252
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:19,040
Speaker 1: Really he seems to know what he's talking about. Apparently,

1253
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 1: the voters that did elect or re elect the far

1254
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 1: left politicians to lead them deeper into the promised land

1255
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:32,799
Speaker 1: of failure said, Hey, we don't have enough crime, homelessness, poverty, misery.

1256
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:36,679
Speaker 1: Let's throw some gas on this dumpster fire and see

1257
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:43,200
Speaker 1: what happens. If anything, last Tuesday's elections underscored the left's

1258
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: disinterest in accountability, at least when it comes to their candidates.

1259
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:54,599
Speaker 1: Case in point, the Democrats of des Moines, Iowa. Now

1260
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:57,719
Speaker 1: you probably don't think a lot about des Moines, Iowa,

1261
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 1: but perhaps you did or of over the last couple

1262
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 1: of months, because it was in des Moines, Iowa where

1263
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 1: it was learned. I believe it was late September, so

1264
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 1: a month plus ago. A lot of things have happened since.

1265
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: But the des Moines Public School system turns out hired

1266
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 1: in a legal alien to be the superintendent of Iowa's

1267
01:28:26,040 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 1: largest school district. No, no, no, no, let's put it

1268
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:35,320
Speaker 1: all together now, doctor Ian Roberts. And by the way,

1269
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 1: we find out he's not really a doctor at least

1270
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 1: well I don't think he's a medical doctor, and he's

1271
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:50,880
Speaker 1: certainly not a PhD. According to what we have learned since.

1272
01:28:51,400 --> 01:28:55,960
Speaker 1: But Ian Roberts, the guy who had led Des Moines's

1273
01:28:55,960 --> 01:29:00,519
Speaker 1: school system for more than two years, was not just

1274
01:29:00,680 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 1: an a legal alien who should have been back to

1275
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:11,160
Speaker 1: his native where was it Uganda? No matter, it was

1276
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,760
Speaker 1: not the United States of America. Should have been back

1277
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 1: there many many years ago. And while he's been here,

1278
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:19,680
Speaker 1: he's done a number of things, including rack up a

1279
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 1: pretty long rap sheet of convictions, some of them for

1280
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 1: very violent gun related crimes. And there and there's the

1281
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 1: issue of the illegal immigrant voting in US elections when

1282
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:37,200
Speaker 1: apparently he lived in Maryland. Lots of problems, lots of

1283
01:29:37,320 --> 01:29:41,320
Speaker 1: red flags that should have popped up but didn't in

1284
01:29:41,400 --> 01:29:46,839
Speaker 1: the Des Moines school district. So voters again in Iowa's

1285
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:51,920
Speaker 1: capital city, rewarded the people who hired an illegal immigrant

1286
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 1: with a long rap sheet to serve as the school

1287
01:29:55,360 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 1: district superintendent. Incumbents Maria Alonso and Skuyler Mayberry Mays were

1288
01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 1: re elected to four year terms in last Tuesday's school

1289
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:14,280
Speaker 1: board election. Maybury Mays ran uncontested, did not they could

1290
01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 1: not find a candidate to run against one of two

1291
01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:23,519
Speaker 1: school board members on a seven school board seven members

1292
01:30:23,600 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 1: school board, two of them that signed on unanimously to

1293
01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:35,599
Speaker 1: hire Ian Roberts, the ex con illegal immigrant. They were

1294
01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:40,320
Speaker 1: part of that vote, as I said in twenty twenty three,

1295
01:30:40,439 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 1: to hire DEI Diversity, Equity and Inclusion candidate Ian Roberts

1296
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:49,559
Speaker 1: as superintendent. In late September, the board members apparently were

1297
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:53,960
Speaker 1: surprised to learn that the walking fraud that they once

1298
01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 1: gushed over was not only an illegal immigrant from Guyana

1299
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,160
Speaker 1: That's sorry, it's run, but that he had been in

1300
01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:04,840
Speaker 1: possession of a loaded handgun and three thousand dollars cash

1301
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:10,760
Speaker 1: when he was apprehended in an immigration and customs enforcement operation.

1302
01:31:12,600 --> 01:31:15,360
Speaker 1: The coming days would be difficult for a district led

1303
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:22,040
Speaker 1: by school board chairwoman Jackie Norris. What's Jackie's deal? Well,

1304
01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 1: Jackie was Michelle Obama's former chief of staff and a

1305
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 1: Democrat with higher political aspirations. She at one time thought

1306
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:35,639
Speaker 1: she would run for US Senate in Iowa to replace

1307
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:42,920
Speaker 1: the retiring Joni Ernst. Even as evidence of Robert's not

1308
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 1: so secret passed came to light, Noras called on Des

1309
01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 1: Moines residents to quote take a page out of doctor

1310
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 1: Roberts's book and ask the community to engage in radical empathy.

1311
01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:04,280
Speaker 1: That's right, radical empathy. As we worked through the situation together,

1312
01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 1: there wasn't much to work through because any any sense

1313
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:20,000
Speaker 1: that this was a terrible mistake evaporated pretty quickly once

1314
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:24,040
Speaker 1: we started learning more about Ian Roberts. And yes, he

1315
01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 1: did write a book, a couple of books. He was

1316
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:35,960
Speaker 1: a high priced Dei pedler, a guy who preached the

1317
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:43,560
Speaker 1: concept of radical empathy, emphasis on radical. Norris in the

1318
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 1: Nation would soon learn that Roberts was no doctor. He

1319
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:50,559
Speaker 1: had lied about receiving his doctoral degree from Morgan State

1320
01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:54,880
Speaker 1: University years before, among other suspect accomplishments on his resume.

1321
01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: The Des Moines School Board knew that when they hired

1322
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:04,679
Speaker 1: him to lead Iowa's largest public school district, they knew

1323
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:08,599
Speaker 1: that he wasn't a doctor. Yet district officials frequently referred

1324
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:14,840
Speaker 1: to him as doctor Roberts, as Iowa Public Radio reported, Now,

1325
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:18,599
Speaker 1: why why would why on earth would an urban school

1326
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:24,400
Speaker 1: district go all nutty in on somebody that they certainly

1327
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 1: did not vet very well. Now, they'll tell you in

1328
01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:30,960
Speaker 1: the Des Moines School District, the De Moines School Board

1329
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 1: will tell you, well, you know, it's that consultant. In fact,

1330
01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:36,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna sue that consultant. They didn't do a very

1331
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:39,240
Speaker 1: good job of vetting. But I think if they were

1332
01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:43,280
Speaker 1: really truly honest with themselves, the school board members in

1333
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:49,439
Speaker 1: Des Moines, it would probably have to acknowledge that their

1334
01:33:49,720 --> 01:33:54,360
Speaker 1: closed door hiring process, which a lot of people had

1335
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:58,920
Speaker 1: concerns about, was really just a rubber stamp to put

1336
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:05,280
Speaker 1: together a contract one hundred and ninety five thousand dollars

1337
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:09,479
Speaker 1: a year, by the way, for Ian Roberts, because he

1338
01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:19,080
Speaker 1: absolutely fit the image that this Iowa school district was

1339
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:23,240
Speaker 1: looking for. Not just the Iowa School district, school districts

1340
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:32,559
Speaker 1: around the country that are drunk on this Dei booze.

1341
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:37,599
Speaker 1: They are part of the Dei cult. Roberts certainly wasn't

1342
01:34:37,640 --> 01:34:42,599
Speaker 1: forthcoming about his lengthy criminal record, which should have precluded

1343
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:46,479
Speaker 1: him from remaining in the United States years ago. Thank

1344
01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:51,240
Speaker 1: you Biden administration. His rap sheet includes charges of criminal

1345
01:34:51,320 --> 01:34:55,560
Speaker 1: possession of narcotics with intent to sell dating back to

1346
01:34:55,760 --> 01:35:00,960
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six. Roberts has been convicted of reckless driving,

1347
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 1: multiple criminal weapons charges, and in September, the accompanying charge

1348
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:08,879
Speaker 1: of possession of a firearm by an illegal immigrant.

1349
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:11,639
Speaker 6: To be fair.

1350
01:35:11,560 --> 01:35:16,679
Speaker 1: Roberts had slipped through the cracks. It seems school systems

1351
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:20,000
Speaker 1: that hired him, including des Moines Public Schools, are now

1352
01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:25,840
Speaker 1: suing the consultant as I mentioned that recommended Roberts, but

1353
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:30,920
Speaker 1: district officials were more interested in what Roberts represented than

1354
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:35,360
Speaker 1: the potential skeletons in his closet. In introducing the black

1355
01:35:35,560 --> 01:35:39,360
Speaker 1: educrat as Des Moines's new superintendent in two thousand and three,

1356
01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:44,240
Speaker 1: Tree Caldwell Johnson, des Moines Public Schools board chairwoman at

1357
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:50,160
Speaker 1: the time, emphasized Roberts dei bona fides. There is no

1358
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:54,920
Speaker 1: question that our search yielded a strong and diverse pool

1359
01:35:55,000 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 1: of candidates. Cultural, racial, ethnic, gen and orientation diversity were

1360
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:09,000
Speaker 1: represented in the candidates that we considered, she said at

1361
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:15,320
Speaker 1: the time. The bottom line the board, the board delivered

1362
01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:22,840
Speaker 1: on all fronts, on all fronts, and all of those

1363
01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:31,280
Speaker 1: fronts included diversity, equity, and inclusion. Not what was best

1364
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:34,479
Speaker 1: for the school district, certainly what was not best for

1365
01:36:35,160 --> 01:36:42,920
Speaker 1: the children who were daily surrounded by an ex con

1366
01:36:43,400 --> 01:36:45,760
Speaker 1: with a violent rap sheet who was also an a

1367
01:36:45,840 --> 01:36:53,840
Speaker 1: legal immigrant. And here's the bottom line. The Des Moines

1368
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:59,880
Speaker 1: School District voters had all of this information. They learned

1369
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:06,000
Speaker 1: all about this several weeks before the election, and what

1370
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:10,960
Speaker 1: did they do. They voted for the same people who

1371
01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:14,360
Speaker 1: made this egregious mistake and have yet to be held

1372
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:19,040
Speaker 1: accountable for it. Not only did they do that, they

1373
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:23,840
Speaker 1: also overwhelmingly voted for a two hundred and sixty five

1374
01:37:24,680 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 1: million dollar bond issue sure for school buildings, but also

1375
01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 1: for a quote reimagining, reimagining education in Des Moines. And

1376
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:45,840
Speaker 1: that reimagining plan was put together largely by you guessed it,

1377
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:55,320
Speaker 1: Ian Roberts, the ex con convict illegal alien who was

1378
01:37:55,400 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 1: running Iowa's largest public school system. Once again, you can't

1379
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:11,840
Speaker 1: fix stupid, straight ahead kissing crockets feet. What's that all about? Well,

1380
01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:15,080

01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:23,479
Speaker 1: done on this Veterans Day edition of The Dan o'donald Show,

1383
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:27,439
Speaker 1: your radio talk show host Phil and Daddy Matt Kittle,

1384
01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:30,600
Speaker 1: glad to have you along with us. Cold, as the

1385
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:33,080
Speaker 1: old man would say, colder than a well diggers. Well,

1386
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:37,599
Speaker 1: you know what, when you dig a well, your certain

1387
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:41,200
Speaker 1: parts of your body get very cold. It's cold, but

1388
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:44,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna warm up back into the sixties by the

1389
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:48,960
Speaker 1: end of the week. Oh baby, I'm all in for that.

1390
01:38:49,880 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 1: What's on your mind? You can dial us up anytime

1391
01:38:52,320 --> 01:38:56,680
Speaker 1: you know the number. I'm curious. I want to hear

1392
01:38:56,720 --> 01:39:01,960
Speaker 1: from some veterans if you're interested on this. As we

1393
01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:07,240
Speaker 1: celebrate Veterans Day on this again, this eleventh day of November,

1394
01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:10,760
Speaker 1: as we have done for for a long time, and

1395
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:14,880
Speaker 1: as we reflect on the sacrifices that the people who

1396
01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:21,160
Speaker 1: have served this country so honorably have paid in the

1397
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:29,800
Speaker 1: furtherance of this remarkable constitutional republic, the lives, so many

1398
01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:35,960
Speaker 1: lives lost in wars and theaters of war around the

1399
01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:40,280
Speaker 1: world in the name of this country and the ideals

1400
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:44,519
Speaker 1: that it so solemnly holds. I can't help but think

1401
01:39:44,600 --> 01:39:51,120
Speaker 1: of how veterans feel about what is happening in New

1402
01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:58,240
Speaker 1: York City, New York City, Yes, New York City, El Paso,

1403
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:04,120
Speaker 1: we also fans, Yeah, New York City. A week after

1404
01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:10,240
Speaker 1: the denizens there decided that they were going to take

1405
01:40:10,280 --> 01:40:14,000
Speaker 1: her in a different direction, you know. And let's face it,

1406
01:40:15,439 --> 01:40:18,599
Speaker 1: New York City, New York City, Yes, New York City,

1407
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:24,280
Speaker 1: New York City has been governed for decades upon decades,

1408
01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:30,720
Speaker 1: mostly by leftists, by Democrats. At a time, they were

1409
01:40:31,040 --> 01:40:35,560
Speaker 1: governed by Democrats who would be unrecognizable to the Democrats

1410
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:39,160
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. But nonetheless they've always been or

1411
01:40:39,200 --> 01:40:43,759
Speaker 1: for a long time, mostly been led in their mayor's office,

1412
01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:49,920
Speaker 1: in the mayor's administration by left leaning folk. So New

1413
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:54,080
Speaker 1: York residents on Tuesday decided, yeah, we have that history.

1414
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:57,840
Speaker 1: Now let's take it as far left as we can.

1415
01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 1: We're always lurching left, and let's be honest here, Old Cuomo,

1416
01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:11,679
Speaker 1: the former governor whose policies killed a lot of elderly

1417
01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:19,639
Speaker 1: folk during the the COVID nineteen thing, he would still

1418
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:24,200
Speaker 1: be a pretty far left mayor of New York City.

1419
01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 1: He lost. Instead, New Yorkers decided they were going to

1420
01:41:28,200 --> 01:41:32,439
Speaker 1: go with a communist. Yeah. A lot of people say, well,

1421
01:41:32,479 --> 01:41:35,479
Speaker 1: you know, he's a socialist. He's an avowed socialist. This

1422
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:40,639
Speaker 1: guy is a collectivist, he's a communist. Zoran mom Donnie,

1423
01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:44,760
Speaker 1: as I like to say, New York City, the reasonable

1424
01:41:44,880 --> 01:41:51,080
Speaker 1: human beings there just got mom dnid. This guy who

1425
01:41:51,880 --> 01:41:58,160
Speaker 1: preaches government ownership of grocery stores and control of rental

1426
01:41:58,360 --> 01:42:02,519
Speaker 1: properties in the name, he says, of affordability. Let me

1427
01:42:02,600 --> 01:42:08,519
Speaker 1: tell you how this story ends. I'll never forget when

1428
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:13,280
Speaker 1: Boris Yeltsin in the late nineteen eighties visited a Houston

1429
01:42:13,400 --> 01:42:20,640
Speaker 1: grocery store and he was absolutely stunned, surprised by the

1430
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:25,519
Speaker 1: amount of food products all around him in this massive

1431
01:42:25,720 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 1: supermarket in the suburbs of Houston, Texas. Khruscheff felt the

1432
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:32,600
Speaker 1: same way back in the mid fifties. I believe he

1433
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:37,639
Speaker 1: visited a supermarket in San Francisco, but they Jelsin later

1434
01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:45,400
Speaker 1: said that upon seeing just so many offerings that capitalism brought,

1435
01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:51,800
Speaker 1: he felt astounded and very sad what he was going

1436
01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:55,559
Speaker 1: back to and what his people experienced in the Soviet Union.

1437
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,800
Speaker 1: Long breadlines. There was a great meme that was out

1438
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:04,320
Speaker 1: last week, and it showed the difference between what Mam

1439
01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 1: Donnie will ultimately deliver New York and what New York

1440
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:12,360
Speaker 1: once had along with the rest of a capitalist America.

1441
01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:21,640
Speaker 1: Mam Donnie's version includes breadlines. The capitalist version includes breadlining

1442
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 1: up for people, for customers, for consumers. So I'm wondering today,

1443
01:43:28,360 --> 01:43:34,880
Speaker 1: as all of that has come to pass, what veterans

1444
01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:39,800
Speaker 1: think of, particularly New York veterans think of this big

1445
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:44,680
Speaker 1: Veterans Day parade in New York City in honor and

1446
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:51,800
Speaker 1: celebration of our country's heroes. ABC seven New York they're

1447
01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:55,240
Speaker 1: the ones that produce this thing. Proud to have aired

1448
01:43:55,360 --> 01:43:58,439
Speaker 1: the biggest Veterans Day event in the United States, the

1449
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:03,400
Speaker 1: annual New York City Veterans Day Parade. More than twenty

1450
01:44:03,479 --> 01:44:07,280
Speaker 1: thousand service members marched up Fifth Avenue in the twenty

1451
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:11,200
Speaker 1: twenty five New York City Veterans Day Parade on Tuesday.

1452
01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:17,879
Speaker 1: Eyewitness News anchor Joe Torres and ABC News Stephanie Ramos

1453
01:44:17,960 --> 01:44:23,160
Speaker 1: hosted the parade, and Eyewitness News reporter Sefan Kim reported

1454
01:44:23,720 --> 01:44:26,040
Speaker 1: along the parade route. And it goes on and on

1455
01:44:26,120 --> 01:44:30,600
Speaker 1: and on about how thrilled they were to showcase the

1456
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:34,840
Speaker 1: twenty thousand veterans in this parade, the US Military, the

1457
01:44:34,960 --> 01:44:40,960
Speaker 1: celebration of two hundred fifty years of the US Military,

1458
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:45,559
Speaker 1: celebrating the birth of its three senior service branches, the Army,

1459
01:44:45,800 --> 01:44:48,519
Speaker 1: Marine Corps, Navy. It's all laudable, it's all great, it's

1460
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:51,799
Speaker 1: all wonderful. It should be done, And I'm just wondering

1461
01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 1: what the folks in New York City, the veterans in

1462
01:44:55,520 --> 01:45:01,599
Speaker 1: New York City, even those that march rightfully understandably proud

1463
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:04,519
Speaker 1: to be in that parade. But what they think about

1464
01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:09,120
Speaker 1: what's happened over the last week in that city, what

1465
01:45:09,400 --> 01:45:14,040
Speaker 1: is to come in that city in the weeks, months,

1466
01:45:14,240 --> 01:45:22,439
Speaker 1: and years ahead under the rule of communist Mom Donnie Zoran, Mom, Donnie,

1467
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:29,040
Speaker 1: I can imagine there are veterans here and there in

1468
01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:35,720
Speaker 1: New York City who are thinking to themselves, so, this

1469
01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:44,160
Speaker 1: is it, huh, this is what we served and sometimes

1470
01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:54,080
Speaker 1: suffered for as service members of our country, this great republic,

1471
01:45:55,400 --> 01:45:58,839
Speaker 1: now New York City is about to turn it into

1472
01:45:59,760 --> 01:46:06,560
Speaker 1: a collectivist society. There are a lot of Cold warriors

1473
01:46:06,640 --> 01:46:09,800
Speaker 1: out there. I have family members. My old man was

1474
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:15,360
Speaker 1: a Cold warrior. In fact, he served in Hamburg, not Hamburg, Heidelberg, Germany,

1475
01:46:16,439 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 1: and was in the communications division, and their division was

1476
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:25,559
Speaker 1: monitoring the call on whether to the missiles in nineteen

1477
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:30,000
Speaker 1: sixty two during the Cuban missile crisis. Monitoring that channel,

1478
01:46:30,920 --> 01:46:34,560
Speaker 1: he always talked about being sixty seconds away from the

1479
01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 1: brink of annihilation in those very difficult and desperate times

1480
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:44,000
Speaker 1: at hours. My brother was a Cold warrior in the

1481
01:46:44,080 --> 01:46:47,280
Speaker 1: early nineteen eighties, although he would be the first to

1482
01:46:47,360 --> 01:46:51,719
Speaker 1: tell you that he spent his Cold War years drinking

1483
01:46:51,800 --> 01:46:58,760
Speaker 1: a lot of cold beverages and he had a good time.

1484
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:05,640
Speaker 1: It served during a still a difficult time. And I

1485
01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:11,000
Speaker 1: just think about those veterans and how they feel serving

1486
01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:17,920
Speaker 1: in the Cold War. And now this Zoron mom Dani,

1487
01:47:19,479 --> 01:47:23,760
Speaker 1: the communist leader of New York City moving forward, is

1488
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:29,640
Speaker 1: about to take them into the throes of socialism. And

1489
01:47:29,720 --> 01:47:35,599
Speaker 1: we're seeing that movement, of course, not only in cities

1490
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:41,920
Speaker 1: and other communities across the country, in leftist cities lurching

1491
01:47:42,040 --> 01:47:44,799
Speaker 1: ever farther left. We're seeing it in the halls of Congress.

1492
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:53,000
Speaker 1: And I can't help but wonder what veterans today think

1493
01:47:53,080 --> 01:47:57,160
Speaker 1: about what has happened over the last several years and

1494
01:47:57,280 --> 01:48:04,200
Speaker 1: now the crowning of that rat Marxist leftist movement, zo

1495
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:14,759
Speaker 1: Ron Mandani elected mayor of the capitalist capital of the world,

1496
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:19,080
Speaker 1: and what message that sends to people who gave of

1497
01:48:19,240 --> 01:48:27,560
Speaker 1: their time and their lives for the furtherance of the

1498
01:48:27,680 --> 01:48:32,320
Speaker 1: America that we all grew up with. I find it interesting,

1499
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:34,760
Speaker 1: to say the least. Well, pause, we have a few

1500
01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:38,400
Speaker 1: spare thoughts coming up, including yeah, we'll get to that

1501
01:48:38,520 --> 01:48:43,120
Speaker 1: story about Jasmine Crockett speaking of far left lunatics. Will

1502
01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:47,679
Speaker 1: delve into that, and Michelle Obama still at this hour

1503
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:51,479
Speaker 1: and probably will be for some time, remains a phony.

1504
01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:54,280
Speaker 1: Let's get back to that in just a moment. On

1505
01:48:54,400 --> 01:48:56,719
Speaker 1: this edition of the Dan O'donnald Show, with yours truly,

1506
01:48:56,800 --> 01:49:02,639
Speaker 1: Matt Kittle, hang on oh year old radio, Amigo, Matt Kittle,

1507
01:49:02,880 --> 01:49:07,280
Speaker 1: Dan's back with you tomorrow, same bat time, same bat channels.

1508
01:49:07,360 --> 01:49:10,559
Speaker 1: I understand it got a few spare thoughts to wrap

1509
01:49:10,720 --> 01:49:15,439
Speaker 1: up before we head on home. This Tuesday, I was

1510
01:49:15,520 --> 01:49:21,280
Speaker 1: talking about Zorn Mamdani, the newly elected Communist mayor of

1511
01:49:21,400 --> 01:49:25,240
Speaker 1: New York City, New York City, Yes, New York City.

1512
01:49:26,760 --> 01:49:29,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you these Democrats, though, after Tuesday's

1513
01:49:30,439 --> 01:49:35,959
Speaker 1: big wins in deep blue states, they are really really confident,

1514
01:49:36,600 --> 01:49:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean cocky confident, even after the beating that they

1515
01:49:42,120 --> 01:49:47,440
Speaker 1: just took in having to concede that their little shutdown

1516
01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:50,840
Speaker 1: political theater had to come to an end because they

1517
01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:55,000
Speaker 1: were taking a great deal of heat. And again, Democrats

1518
01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:58,360
Speaker 1: own the shutdown, which is supposed to end tomorrow when

1519
01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:03,000
Speaker 1: the House comes back to vote and a approve a

1520
01:50:03,600 --> 01:50:10,360
Speaker 1: clean continuing resolution in which the Democrats get nothing that

1521
01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:16,800
Speaker 1: they were holding their long temper tantrum over. As I said,

1522
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:23,000
Speaker 1: they're very confident. This is what Old Ken Martin, the

1523
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:28,799
Speaker 1: leader of the Democrat National Committee, the chair, told NBC

1524
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:31,760
Speaker 1: late last week. I said when I ran for this

1525
01:50:32,000 --> 01:50:36,440
Speaker 1: job that when you organize everywhere, you can win anywhere.

1526
01:50:37,280 --> 01:50:41,160
Speaker 1: And we just fundamentally believe that. They believe it so

1527
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:44,760
Speaker 1: much that they're deploying a lot of money and a

1528
01:50:44,880 --> 01:50:51,479
Speaker 1: lot of big time leftists to campaign for another leftist

1529
01:50:51,600 --> 01:50:55,800
Speaker 1: by the name of Afton ban in one of red

1530
01:50:55,920 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee's most conservative congressional districts. Maybe there's still drunk on

1531
01:51:02,000 --> 01:51:06,720
Speaker 1: the champagne bubbles of last Tuesdays sweeping statewide victories in

1532
01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:11,720
Speaker 1: New Jersey and Virginia. And as we mentioned before New

1533
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:18,320
Speaker 1: York City's election of communist Zooran Mamdani. Should we also

1534
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:23,639
Speaker 1: note California's the Democrats. They're their big win in their

1535
01:51:23,760 --> 01:51:30,559
Speaker 1: jerrymandering referendum, but those blue, deep blue states. Tennessee seventh

1536
01:51:30,640 --> 01:51:36,200
Speaker 1: congressional district, where leftist Afton Ben will be is running

1537
01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:42,280
Speaker 1: to fill the vacancy that was left by longtime Republican

1538
01:51:42,479 --> 01:51:49,000
Speaker 1: Mark Green in a district in Tennessee that has been

1539
01:51:49,080 --> 01:51:53,040
Speaker 1: in Republicans' hands for more than forty years, a district

1540
01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:57,920
Speaker 1: that Green won by twenty one percentage points President Trump

1541
01:51:58,640 --> 01:52:03,439
Speaker 1: one by twenty Tennessee, a state that Trump won by

1542
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:09,439
Speaker 1: thirty But yet Democrats are all in on this new

1543
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:14,519
Speaker 1: radical leftist coming out of Nashville, putting it all in there,

1544
01:52:14,560 --> 01:52:18,120
Speaker 1: saying that she has a great chance to win in

1545
01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:24,559
Speaker 1: deep red Tennessee. And here's the deal. She will win

1546
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:30,880
Speaker 1: in deep red Tennessee if Republicans do what they did

1547
01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:35,840
Speaker 1: last week in Virginia and in New Jersey. I'm not

1548
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:41,040
Speaker 1: telling you that Republicans could have easily won those elections

1549
01:52:41,640 --> 01:52:46,840
Speaker 1: statewide offices in blue New Jersey, in blue Virginia. That

1550
01:52:47,080 --> 01:52:52,720
Speaker 1: was a tall hill. But the turnout of Republicans was

1551
01:52:53,040 --> 01:52:58,200
Speaker 1: absolutely abysmal. And that's what happens certainly in off year

1552
01:52:58,200 --> 01:53:01,040
Speaker 1: elections and unfortunately in mid term elections. As we look

1553
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:05,040
Speaker 1: ahead to twenty twenty six, and if you don't get

1554
01:53:05,080 --> 01:53:07,680
Speaker 1: people out to this special election, which is scheduled for

1555
01:53:07,880 --> 01:53:13,480
Speaker 1: December second, right in the middle of the holidays, Tennessee

1556
01:53:14,439 --> 01:53:19,240
Speaker 1: is going to do the unthinkable lose a congressional seat

1557
01:53:20,240 --> 01:53:26,840
Speaker 1: to a radical leftist and lose another seat in the

1558
01:53:26,920 --> 01:53:33,840
Speaker 1: Republicans very razor thin control of the House of Representatives,

1559
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:40,360
Speaker 1: and they will lose if Republicans don't get the word

1560
01:53:40,439 --> 01:53:50,040
Speaker 1: out that often been the Nashville leftist has a leftist

1561
01:53:50,160 --> 01:53:55,240
Speaker 1: record that any rational thinking Tennessee and should be concerned about.

1562
01:53:55,760 --> 01:53:59,439
Speaker 1: She led Tennessee's efforts in the Indivisible movements, you know,

1563
01:53:59,479 --> 01:54:04,160
Speaker 1: the Endividi movement, the resistance movement against Trump that has

1564
01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:07,680
Speaker 1: paid for protesters in the No Kings marches and all

1565
01:54:07,720 --> 01:54:11,680
Speaker 1: of that idiocy. Yeah, she was deeply involved in that

1566
01:54:11,800 --> 01:54:17,920
Speaker 1: before she became a state legislator. She is a social

1567
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:25,760
Speaker 1: worker and believes that that's how you govern locally, statewide,

1568
01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:31,439
Speaker 1: and at the federal level. She told her alma mater,

1569
01:54:31,560 --> 01:54:34,640
Speaker 1: the University of Texas at Austin, just a couple of

1570
01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:40,760
Speaker 1: years back. I am a social worker. There is no

1571
01:54:41,040 --> 01:54:45,160
Speaker 1: hire that is the best and highest use of my time.

1572
01:54:46,320 --> 01:54:53,200
Speaker 1: She has taken all of that into her politics Tennessee,

1573
01:54:54,480 --> 01:54:59,280
Speaker 1: that seventh Congressional District in particular. They're not real keen

1574
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:07,280
Speaker 1: and social worker politicians never really have been. But that's

1575
01:55:07,320 --> 01:55:12,320
Speaker 1: what they'll get if Republicans don't wake up. And that's

1576
01:55:12,360 --> 01:55:18,480
Speaker 1: what Wisconsin will get and some red states will get

1577
01:55:19,080 --> 01:55:24,240
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty six midterms. If Republicans refuse to

1578
01:55:24,360 --> 01:55:28,480
Speaker 1: come out and vote for sanity, well, Trump's not on

1579
01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:32,040
Speaker 1: the ballot. What does it matter? Who cares Trump is

1580
01:55:32,120 --> 01:55:35,920
Speaker 1: on the ballot. The future of this country is on

1581
01:55:36,080 --> 01:55:41,720
Speaker 1: the ballot. Stay on the sidelines at your own peril.

1582
01:55:43,360 --> 01:55:53,640
Speaker 1: Speaking of leftists who are getting behind the leftist political train,

1583
01:55:53,720 --> 01:55:57,960
Speaker 1: in the seventh Congressional District in Tennessee, Loudmouth, Texas Representative

1584
01:55:58,040 --> 01:56:04,680
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett recently got her feet kissed by another leftist.

1585
01:56:04,920 --> 01:56:08,560
Speaker 1: The search for the soul of the Democratic Party continues.

1586
01:56:08,600 --> 01:56:12,440
Speaker 1: According to The New York Post, failed actress turned radio

1587
01:56:12,600 --> 01:56:18,480
Speaker 1: host Stephanie Miller literally groveled at the feet of Democrat Rep.

1588
01:56:18,680 --> 01:56:24,919
Speaker 1: Loudmouth Jasmine Crockett, planting a big wet smooch on her sneaker,

1589
01:56:25,640 --> 01:56:30,640
Speaker 1: and then gleefully sharing the cringe worthy iteration or interaction

1590
01:56:30,840 --> 01:56:35,200
Speaker 1: on social media. Why yes, I did kiss the sneakers

1591
01:56:35,320 --> 01:56:40,040
Speaker 1: of Jasmine for us, and I do worship the ground

1592
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:46,600
Speaker 1: she walks on, The Stephanie Miller Show host wrote on

1593
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:54,880
Speaker 1: x apparently unaware of how WinCE inducing genuflection came across online.

1594
01:56:57,880 --> 01:57:00,400
Speaker 1: It was a continuation, of course, what we saw years

1595
01:57:00,400 --> 01:57:04,760
Speaker 1: ago and Nancy Pelosian crew genuflecting in their African garb

1596
01:57:05,160 --> 01:57:10,840
Speaker 1: as part of the Black Lives Matter genuflection. And they're

1597
01:57:10,880 --> 01:57:14,480
Speaker 1: also feet fetishist. Apparently that's gonna do it for us.

1598
01:57:15,440 --> 01:57:17,720
Speaker 1: Have a great Tuesday night, we'll talk down the road.

1599
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:19,840
Speaker 1: Kittle saying goodbye, so long, God bless
