Speaker 1: that's out there that some are trying to ram through.

37
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: As I understand, there are some tricks being played on

38
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: this gambling bill. Obviously, there are big moneyed interest behind

39
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: all of this. And as a journalist for longer than

40
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: I want to acknowledge, the maxim is always and always

41
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: follow the money, and there is a lot of money

42
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:08,000

Speaker 1: facing opposition from high profile companies offering online sports gambling.

45
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: There's a lot of back and forth on this. We're

46
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: going to cut through it all and try to get

47
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,480

00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,800

Speaker 1: home best editing? I can't wait. There's still a key

54
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: grip category. That's one of my favorite positions in all

55
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: of Hollywood.

56
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: Key grip.

57
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: You know, there's some Hollywood producers who took a special

58
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: notice of that. Have you seen any of the movies nominated,

59
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: by the way, I have not, nor do I generally

60
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: because I don't. I just I don't think i've been

61
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: to well, no, that's not true. I was going to

62
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: say I hadn't been to a movie in an actual

63
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: theater since the kids were little and it was some

64
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: sort of animated thing. I assure you some sort of

65
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: there was a woody involved. I don't know, but no,

66
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: last year the kids got me into the Stranger Things.

67
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: And you know how they got me into The Stranger Things.

68
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: Child of the eighties. That thing is just filled with

69
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: stuff from the eighties, and up until about the last season,

70
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't filled with all kinds of woke crap. And then,

71
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: of course, yes, like everything else anyway, how much nausea

72
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: can the self congratulatory woke show that is the Academy

73
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: Awards pump out this year? Christian, Total award winning film critic, journalist,

74
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: and founder of Hollywood in Toto will join us about

75
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: four point forty this afternoon to talk a little bit

76
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: more about that new little handicapping of who's going to

Speaker 1: win that Best Picture, Best Director, and yes, good lord,

78
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: best Editing. Christian is a rarity in the entertainment critique business.

79
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: He's a conservative, offering criticism of all things entertainment, particularly

80
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: Hollywood movies and culture from a conservative point of view.

81
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: His website is fantastic. We'll talk to him coming up

82
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: just a bit now, though, let's start here. Joyce Joyce

83
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: has some problems. Joyce has some severe problems. Somebody should

84
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: check in on Joyce. That is a gal in Florida.

85
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: I believe who now truly is the face of the

86
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: new American Left. Can we take a little listen to Joyce?

87
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: See what she's got going on? Go ahead, Joyce, Joyce,

88
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: back her up.

89
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: Baby, Heyce the advocate here. Come on Canada, Come on, UK,

90
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 4: Come on China, you know you want to do it.

91
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: Come in and attack United States. You don't like our regime.

92
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 4: We don't like it either. Help us, Please help the

93
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 4: United States. Come in, come in, help us. We'll figure

94
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 4: it out. We don't like our regime either.

95
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 3: Come on, help us give it.

96
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: Give you a little visual of Joyce, who again checked out.

97
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: It seems long ago, but Joyce looks like if Larry

98
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: David had put a wig on and started talking to

99
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: people via video. Yes, what Joyce is doing is calling

100
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: for China to invade the United States of America to

101
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: remove the uh what she believes to be the death

102
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: spot in the White House. Yes, she is clearly deranged.

103
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: She is.

104
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: Clearly speaking in the language of treason. Unfortunately, she is

105
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: not alone among the crazy Trump deranged radical left, that's right.

106
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: A Florida nurse by the name of Joyce posted this

107
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: video on TikTok, calling on foreign governments, including China and

108
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: the United Kingdom, to attack the United States in order

109
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: to remove what she described as the regime of President

110
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And you heard it, well, we could listen

111
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: to it for hours ago. Do we see those dulcet

112
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: tones of crazy Joyce?

113
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 5: Kebad Canada, come UK caved chadda.

114
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 3: You know you what you want this Joyce, don't you?

115
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 1: Yeh?

116
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:14,119
Speaker 3: Yeah?

117
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: She is calling on these well at least one true despot.

118
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: United Kingdom has had a lot of problems with censorship

119
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: we'll talk about later. But nonetheless, she is calling on

120
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: communist China to come in and knock out the duly

121
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: elected president of the United States of America. The original

122
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: video was later set to a private setting, but thanks

123
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: to our good friends over at I Meme, Therefore I

124
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: am you can see the treasonous treatment from the deranged Joyce,

125
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: a nurse by the way, and this is what I mean.

126
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: Therefore I AM says about it, and I think I agree.

127
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: Meet Joyce from Florida. Joyce is a nurse who posted

128
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: a video begging other countries includ China, to attack the

129
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: US because she wants them to remove President Trump in

130
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: his administration. It's time for her to retire. Someone with

131
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: such extreme views shouldn't be in healthcare. Well, we've seen

132
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: a lot of that from members of the healthcare trade

133
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: over the last year plus, haven't way, But Joyce, she

134
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: might just take the case here. How about some other

135
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: deranged women who want to see the regime knocked out?

136
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: Unfortunately they're in our own government. Dozens of Democrats have

137
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: voted against a non binding resolution in the House that

138
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: reaffirms Iran as the largest state sponsor of terrorism, a

139
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: fact that is established not only by the United States

140
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: of America but every free loving nation out there. They

141
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: are and have been the leading sponsor of terrorism globally

142
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: for a very long time. The evil regime that is

143
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: in control or losing its grasp on control as we

144
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 1: speak right now in Iran. So dozens of Democrats have

145
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: voted against a resolution spelling out that truth. The resolution

146
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: put forward by Representative Brian mast the Republican of Florida,

147
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: passed by a three hundred and seventy two fifty three

148
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: vote on Thursday, with all those voting no being Democrats.

149
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: Two Democrats also voted present. That's a brave stance to

150
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: take it. Among those who voted against the measure were

151
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: all the members of the Yes, you guessed it, the squad,

152
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: the squad of America haters, the aocs of the world,

153
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: and the are Elans and what have you, all educated

154
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: at the Minnesota Leering Center where such such anti American

155
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: idiots are produced on a regular basis. Well, nobody's really there,

156
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: so representative Alexandria Casio Cortez, il Ilhan, omar Ayana, Presley,

157
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: Rashida Talib, the whole gang. The resolution said the Islamic

158
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: Republic of Iran remains the world's largest state sponsor of

159
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: terrorism and provides a substantial financial and military support base

160
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: to groups including, yeah, those freedom fighters that il Han

161
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: and AOC like to lift up, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Jutis.

162
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: It added that Iran poses a direct and persistent threat

163
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: to the United States. I have not to go to

164
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: the whole resolution. You know what Iran's doing. For the

165
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: better part of the last fifty years. They've killed hundreds

166
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: of Americans, maybe more. They have sponsored terrorist acts that

167
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: have killed thousands upon thousands of people in the West.

168
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: They have screamed continuously that not only is America the

169
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: great Satan, it is their job to wipe America and

170
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: Israel off the map. They were trying to build a

171
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon to do just that. So we don't need

172
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: much in the way of the background. But it is

173
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: very interesting, but not shocking to see as many members

174
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: of the Democrat Party voting in favor of Iran. You

175
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: know who isn't in favor of Iran, some gals who

176
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: play on the women's soccer team and those who love them.

177
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: The Iranian soccer team women's soccer team appeared to pivot

178
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: from its silent stands at the Women's Asian Cup Thursday,

179
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: singing and saluting during its national anthem before its match

180
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: against Australia. Iranian fans voiced support for President Donald Trump

181
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: in the stands amid the ongoing joint military campaign against Iran.

182
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: Before the start of the match against Australia, the women's

183
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: team notably participated in the performance of the anthem. The

184
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: women saluted as rain added to the somber moment. Put

185
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: that in perspective. Think about that, for just a moment,

186
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:57,599
Speaker 1: we have AOC and Omar ilhan Omar to lead a

187
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: Rashida to leave use me whatever. We have them screaming,

188
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: screaming at America. We have them screaming at the President

189
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: of the United States, calling him a criminal for teaming

190
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: up with Israel in this case to topple whether they

191
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: are saying that or not publicly, or still committing to that,

192
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: to topple the evil Iranian regime. They have had all

193
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: kinds of pejoratives about the United States and about this administration.

194
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: Those squad members in the House. On the other side

195
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: of that, you see the women of Iran who have

196
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: been the subject of real oppression, acid in your face oppression,

197
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: and these idiots can't even bring themselves to say that

198
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: Iran is the leading sponsor of terrorism, first and foremost

199
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: against their own people. That's where we're at in America.

200
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: Remember all of this in November. We'll take a quick break.

201
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: Coming up next here, here's a question for you. Here

202
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: is a question. Can we stop the public school co

203
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: ed showering For the love of God. We will get

204
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: into that issue straight ahead on this Friday edition of

205
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell Show with your old radio Amigo Matt

206
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: Kitt'll stay with us for the record. Here we are Kittle, here,

207
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: you are there. How are you glad to have you

208
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: along with us on this Friday? Coming up in just

209
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: a bit, and this next segment kind of ties into

210
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: the upcoming segment, but we will be joined by State

211
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: Senator Jesse James. We can tell you this that, whether

212
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: he wanted to or not, the governor weasel, Governor weasel

213
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: Tony Evers has signed an into law reluctantly, a bill

214
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: that will protect children from groomers. Fact that's a number

215
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: of bills, three altogether. We're going to find out more

216
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: about that coming up in just a bit.

217
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 6: Now.

218
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: Again, I don't know why we have to ask this question.

219
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't, but apparently we do, and apparently we need

220
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: action on this front. Can we stop the public school

221
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: co ed showering? For the love of God, listen to me,

222
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: just because you feel like a woman doesn't mean you

223
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: are a woman, and it doesn't give you the right

224
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: to shower with high school girls when you've got high

225
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: school boy parts. And the problem has been well, it's

226
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: been going on and on and on. Although there is

227
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: some news on that front today. The US Department of

228
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: Education's Office for Civil Rights initiated a directed investigation into

229
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: the New Richmond School District in New Richmond, Wisconsin, based

230
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: on reports that the district is allowing biological men to

231
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: use female restrooms. The ocr will determine whether the district

232
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: violated Title nine of the Education Amendments of nineteen seventy

233
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: two by allowing students to access intimate facilities based on

234
00:17:54,160 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: gender identity, not biological sex. So again this breaking yesterday,

235
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: the US Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights announcing

236
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: that it has initiated a directed investigation into the New

237
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: Richmond School District. And here here is why. This is

238
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: a story from the Hudson Star Observer. This is from

239
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: late last month. The New Richmond School Board voted down

240
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: a request to launch an internal investigation and review a

241
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: proposed policy concerning Title nine non discrimination rules and transgender

242
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: student restroom facilities use at its February seventeenth regular meeting,

243
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: so it will not be internally investigating some really concerning

244
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: incidents there. The board did approve a measure to include

245
00:18:53,200 --> 00:19:00,120
Speaker 1: more bathroom facilities in the district to address the ongoing issue.

246
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: And what is said issue, Well, it's what we were

247
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: just talking about while the school district already has unisex bathrooms.

248
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: The board approved further conversations with old our architects to

249
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: potentially reevaluate facilities. Board member Greg Gartner weighed in on

250
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 1: the necessity of action. I want to fix this, so

251
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: no school board, no families have to deal with this

252
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: issue again when it gets fixed. Okay, they want to

253
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: build more bathrooms, what does that mean. The request for

254
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: an investigation was brought forward by board member Ben Engelhart

255
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: at the February tenth work session. Angle Heart sought to

256
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: analyze the district's actions regarding its allowance for transgender students

257
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: to use bathrooms aligning with the their gender identity, not

258
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: their actual biological sex, and the subsequent impact on fellow students.

259
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: Why was the board not informed, Why was it done

260
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: behind our backs? Why weren't the parents informed? How long

261
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: this has been going on? Because my kids have been

262
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: going to school for years and this is the first

263
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: year they saw it happen, Engleheart said, voice and concerns

264
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: over transparency. Transparency is an issue. The question certainly is

265
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: what has been allegedly hidden. Board president Chris Schaeffer defended

266
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: the district's current practice. I wanted to read this to

267
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: you and let you think on this for a moment.

268
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: The board president defended the district's current practice, and that

269
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: current practice is we we will open up our bathroom

270
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: facilities to the bathroom facility so that girls will indeed

271
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: share those facilities with boys who believe they are girls.

272
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: The board president said, our administrators are following the law.

273
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: We heard from our attorneys last week that we are

274
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: following the law. Our administrators are following the law and

275
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: administrating it following case law, Schaeffer said. He argued that

276
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: an investigation would constitute quote, a poor use of tax dollars,

277
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: noting that the board had previously spent last week's four

278
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: hour meeting reviewing the legal justifications for the district's current stance.

279
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something about the current stance. It

280
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: does indeed run a foul of Title nine protections. It

281
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: also is extremely, extremely offensive to the vast majority of

282
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: parents as well as the kids who are dealing with

283
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: this stuff. But they're defending it to the very end.

284
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: Shafer reiterated that almost every district in the state follows

285
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: similar policies and procedures, emphasizing it is against the law

286
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: to have a policy that discriminates against anybody. You can't

287
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: tell anybody what bathroom they can use.

288
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 3: Oh you can't.

289
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: Now that's a problem, and that's not necessarily the truth

290
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: or the case. There have been other school districts in

291
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: the state of Wisconsin that have faced some pretty various

292
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: legal consequences for this allowance. As it has been described,

293
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: this is very problematic for the school district. Now the

294
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,959
Speaker 1: federal government is involved in this, and this school district says,

295
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: why would we waste tax payer money on investigating why

296
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: we allowed this particular repulsive policy, why we started it

297
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: all up? Right Now, we pause here and note what

298
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 1: we've talked about on previous shows and what this show

299
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 1: and others we've tried to communicate for a long time,

300
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: and that is, even though you have a sane Department

301
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: of Education, you have a sane Department of Justice, you

302
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: have a sane federal administration. The stuff that was going

303
00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: on before with impunity in our schools, it may have

304
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: kind of receded back, changed the names. Let's just put

305
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: it this way. Some of the DEI programs that were

306
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: so discriminatory and awful, by the way, and when the

307
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: school board members, if you can't discriminate against anybody except

308
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: people who are viewed as oppressors. We've described them as such.

309
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,239
Speaker 1: We have created this category. They're all part of the

310
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: big systemic racism thing. They they the oppressors. You can

311
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: discriminate against them. That's been a problem. It's also been

312
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: a problem to discriminate against young women, girls who do

313
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: not want to shower with biological dudes or be in

314
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: the same bathroom restroom. I think that's understandable, isn't it.

315
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: But saying that an investigation not only into this policy,

316
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: but how this school district dealt with the concerns and

317
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 1: the complaints by students and parents is a waste of

318
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: taxpayer dollies. That's as insane as this policy. Engelhart also

319
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: proposed that the board adopt a policy which aligns with

320
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: Title nine by allowing separate comparable toilet, locker room, and

321
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: shower facilities based on sex. However, Schaeffer successfully moved to

322
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: cease further consideration and review of the proposed policy. Yeah,

323
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: this is a big problem, Lea. This is what this

324
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: story doesn't get into, because that's what you get from

325
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: today's accomplished me This is from the Federal Department of

326
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: Education Office for Civil Rights as of January twenty twenty six.

327
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: Or At a January twenty twenty six meeting of the

328
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: New Richmond School Board, multiple parents expressed concern that males

329
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: were being permitted to use the girl's restroom, but parents'

330
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: questions about their daughter's safety were reportedly deflected by administrators

331
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: who refused to provide answers or assurances. Why would we

332
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: possibly want an investigation into something like that? One student

333
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: testified at a subsequent board meeting about her fear, embarrassment,

334
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: and anxiety given the presence of boys in the girl's restrooms,

335
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: noting that she no longer uses the restrooms while in school.

336
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: You don't think that girl has a against discrimination?

337
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 3: What the hell?

338
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: When the school board member introduced a policy in February two,

339
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, to ensure bathroom and locker rooms are

340
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: separated by biological sex, only two of the seven board

341
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: members voted in favor of the proposal. This battle is

342
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: far from over. But folks in New Richmond, this is

343
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: why you don't skip school board elections because of insanity

344
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: like this. I always talk about and we will the

345
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: importance of this upcoming midterm election. This in New Richmond

346
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: is exhibit a of why local elections are so important.

347
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: On a related note, we will delve into coming up

348
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: straight ahead, a series of bills now signed into law

349
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: quietly that would protect kids from groomers. Well delve into

350
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: that straight ahead. Jesse James, Senator from Thorpe, will join

351
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: us in just a moment. He is co author of

352
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: the bill straight ahead. On this Friday edition of the

353
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: Dan O'donnalds Show with yours truly, Matt kittlehang on caeping

354
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: it real, keeping it right. This just in thanks to

355
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: our producer Doug Russell. Thank you for alerting me this

356
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: to this story. Isaiah Thomas, the legendary NBA's Isaiah Thomas

357
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: attends Jesse Jackson Memorial honors five presidents. Apparently Isaiah believes

358
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: that Kamala was a president as well as Hillary Clinton.

359
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: More on these details coming up. As I said, Isaiah

360
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: has had some issues over the years. Now though, this

361
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: is how much of a weasel Tony Evers is, and

362
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: you know he's always been a weasel.

363
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: But just.

364
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: Get a load of this and you can put this

365
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: on the weasel's Weasel resume, even though he signed into

366
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: law reluctantly bills that would protect kids from groomers. Today

367
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: Evers did so very very quietly. No press conference, no

368
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: media attention, no word to the bill's sponsors, Assembly Bill

369
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: six seventy seven. It's one of three bills. This one

370
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: establishes a criminal definition of child grooming and imposes strict

371
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: felony penalties on predators who target minors. Why would you

372
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: think that Governor Weasel wouldn't want to sign this with

373
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: great public attention. Well, let's ask the co author of

374
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: the bill, State Senator Jesse James, Republican from Thorpe, joining

375
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 1: us now in the dan O'donnald Show. Good afternoon, sir,

376
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: how are.

377
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 6: You good afternoon. I'm doing well on this fine Friday.

378
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 6: I just wish that we would have had some kind

379
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 6: of official recognition in passing awesome legislation that protects our

380
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 6: Wisconsin children in play. Here. We did request a bill hearing,

381
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 6: bill signing, and unfortunately, my staff texts me this morning

382
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 6: and said, well, the governor just signed our grooming bill.

383
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: But that is It's not surprising he's done this on

384
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: a number of issues when he has signed a bill

385
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: into law that the vast majority of the people, the

386
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: voters of Wisconsin, want to see in law. He's reluctantly

387
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: done so, he's quietly done so. But my goodness, why

388
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: can't you stand up? This reminds me, Senator James. This

389
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: reminds me of the State of the Union address. You

390
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: remember that moment when the President said, we need a

391
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 1: national bill that ends the mutilation of children through these

392
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: so called gender affirming surgeries, and stand up if you

393
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: support that. He couldn't get anybody on the Democrats side

394
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: of that aisle to stand up. Is that the same

395
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: kind of thing we're looking at with evers here?

396
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 6: Well, there's some similarities. I will appreciate the fact that

397
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 6: Wisconsinact eighty eight is now in place, and it is

398
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 6: going to protect our future generations from this day forward

399
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 6: from these grooming activities that like those individuals that like

400
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 6: to attack and take advantage of our most vulnerable population

401
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 6: in our state, our children, just to fulfill their sexual

402
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 6: desires and fantasies. I do have a major problem with that,

403
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 6: and I think have the minimum category as a class

404
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 6: G felony I think is extremely appropriate, with increasing penalties

405
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 6: thereafter and they're well defined in this legislation. So I

406
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 6: think this is going to be an awesome deterrence and

407
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 6: prevention statutory language and law now, and our kids will

408
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 6: hopefully feel a lot more comfortable and you know, sharing

409
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 6: when they feel like they've been a part of something

410
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 6: that they should not be a part of.

411
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: Senator Jesse James, Republican from Thorpe joining us. He's one

412
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: of three co sponsors at least three on these very

413
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: important bills. And I don't want to waste any more

414
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: time talking about the governor and why he does or

415
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: doesn't do things I could spend Senator, I could spend

416
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: four hundred years talking about that as it relates to

417
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: our property tax bills. That said, these are bills that

418
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: you know are long overdue. You touched upon the one

419
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: we talked about and the other. What ultimately will this do?

420
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: It criminalizes this kind of behavior, which we have certainly

421
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: learned over the last while is much more rampant in

422
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: our schools than we thought it was.

423
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's the key. I mean, when we have

424
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 6: persons of trust that are in positions of trust and

425
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 6: authority over our children, that is another increasing penalty in

426
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 6: this legislation because they they know what they're doing, and

427
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 6: this goes beyond just typically one child at a time

428
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 6: type of thing. I've investigated these types of cases. Being

429
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 6: the only active law enforcement officer in our state legislature,

430
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 6: I take pride in that I have numerous cases throughout

431
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 6: my career where if grooming was in statute at that time,

432
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 6: we would have been able to address it and actually

433
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 6: added more charges to the cases with this in place.

434
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 6: So I think moving forward, this is awesome for our kids.

435
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 6: I think it's finally the most comprehensive piece of legislation

436
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 6: I've done up to this point. I think with the

437
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 6: we will shot a standard for other states to follow

438
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 6: with our legislative language that we've incorporated into this bill

439
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 6: with the help of Triple Falls Police Department, because really

440
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 6: their case is what perpetuated this action with one of

441
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 6: their cases that they've had. So this isn't this is

442
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 6: it doesn't There's no geographic boundaries or any type of

443
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 6: ethnicity or race or age or anything that comes to

444
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 6: play here. This is about just protecting our kids.

445
00:34:58,680 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 2: You bet.

446
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: And final question for you, this isn't just numbers to you,

447
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: As you mentioned as the only law enforcement official in

448
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: the legislature with experience on this front. You have investigated

449
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: these crimes, you have talked to these kids, broken by

450
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: the adults that they trusted. I guess you know at

451
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: the end of the day, this was kind of a

452
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: personal thing for you, wasn't it.

453
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 6: There The the amount of emotions in tears and sadly

454
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 6: I've lost cases in jury trials when it comes to

455
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 6: this moved activity, sexual assault of children and now having

456
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 6: more tool than the toolbox to add charges at least

457
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 6: at minimum grooming charges and let this go through the

458
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 6: new process. Consulting with your local district attorney see if

459
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 6: there these wood warrant charges and stuff is extremely appropriate.

460
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 6: I know they're excited to have this is another tool

461
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 6: in their toolbox to bring the charges on and then

462
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 6: to also post fact that they have to register a

463
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 6: sex offenders. I'm one hundred percent on board. So their

464
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 6: their life will be decimated now based on their activity

465
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 6: and praying on our on our kids.

466
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: That's right. You got criminal penalties in this. You have

467
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: a definition of this stuff which you know it hadn't

468
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: existed before this. Now there are no excuses anymore. And yeah,

469
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: I will note this You've got bipartisan support on this.

470
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: I'm glad Democrats came along for this. Although again I

471
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: point back to a governor who has, over his long

472
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: long tenure in the executive branch, uh, he always talks

473
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: about being a kid friendly administration. This is about his

474
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: kid friendly as it gets. I would think he would

475
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: want to shout this from the rooftops. But here we are.

476
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for your time and and I appreciate

477
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: certainly the bills now into law. Excellent work, and I

478
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: hope to talk to you again soon.

479
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 6: Thank you very much. I have a great day, you bet.

480
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: State Senator Jesse James joining us, Thank you. I'm sorry

Speaker 2: To do this.

00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 1: and we have much to accomplish before we say ado.

497
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: This Friday edition of the Dan O'Donnell Show coming up

498
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: a little bit later this hour A conversation about gambling. Yes,

499
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: another gambling battle here in the state of Wisconsin. We've

500
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: had a few of them over the years. Healy bipartisan

501
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: bill to legalize online sports betting in Wisconsin is facing

502
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: opposition from high profile companies offering online sports gambling. In return,

503
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: the tribes that want this exclusively for themselves are opposed

504
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: to the people who are opposing them. And in the

505
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: middle of it all are a bunch of lawmakers who

506
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 1: don't want this deal to be hashed out in public,

507
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: including an Assembly decided to take a voice vote on this.

508
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 1: Very brave Anyway, We're going to talk to Lucas Weber,

509
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 1: deputy legal counsel at the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty,

510
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: going to give us a closer look at this issue

511
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: and what it might mean for free enterprise on this

512
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: side in the gambling industry in Wisconsin. So we'll talk

513
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: a little bit more about that coming up, and then

514
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the hour round five at

515
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: four forty get ahead of ourselves. For forty, we're going

516
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: to have some Oscar talk for you. Yeah, it won't

517
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: be long, but not this weekend. The weekend after hooray

518
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 1: for Hollywood and all of its creepy people. We're gonna

519
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: find out just how woke this show will be. It

520
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: has been nauseatingly so in the past. The ninety eighth

521
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: version of it should be somewhere in that vomit inducing zone.

522
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: Christian Toto, Award winning film critic, journalist and founder of

523
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: Hollywood and Toto will join us for what to expect

524
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: at the ninety eighth Academy Awards. But now let us

525
00:40:55,920 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: start here. I mentioned before in the last hour to

526
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: Doug Russell, our excellent producer, he pointed out that this

527
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: is the headline today, Jesse Jackson's memorial. Of course, Jesse Jackson,

528
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: the civic civil rights leader who was lauded and praised

529
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: upon his recent passing. Of course, a lot of those

530
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: obituaries didn't include the full Jesse Jackson, which is a

531
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: much more complicated picture than this civil rights icon that

532
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: is often painted but that's where we're at in America.

533
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: The memorial service was today in the headline from USA Today,

534
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas, famous veteran, legendary NBA basketball player for years,

535
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: the Pistons.

536
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 2: The.

537
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: Jordan and the Bulls didn't have an answer for Isaiah

538
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: Thomas for a few of those years, and then then

539
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: they got the answer and they didn't look back. But

540
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas was, of course a leader on that Detroit

541
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: Pistons team. Today, he attended Jesse Jackson's memorial services to

542
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 1: honor five presidents who were they Well, let's see how

543
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: many living presidents do we have. We've just we we

544
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: lost Jimmy, so we're down to the Trumpster Joe Well, yeah,

545
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: and Obama and George W. Bush and oh that's right,

546
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: Bubba Billery, Bill Clinton, he's uh, he's still around. And

547
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 1: then that's it because George H. W. Passed a while back,

548
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: and so there we go. Five presidents. No, that's that's

549
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: not exactly what Isaiah Thomas is talking about. Thousands of

550
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: mourners paid their respects Friday to Rev. Jesse Jackson. The

551
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 1: Reverend Jesse Jackson, the civil rights icon who died last

552
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: month at age eighty four. One of those who attended

553
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: the public homecoming celebration at Chicago's House of Hope on

554
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: Friday was Chicago native and Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer

555
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:23,240
Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas, who also spoke during the ceremony. During his speech,

556
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 1: Thomas acknowledged the five presidents who were in attendance. Okay, well,

557
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: the math doesn't quite add up unless somebody's got a

558
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: Wiji board at the event. This is what he said.

559
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: I would also like to honor the five presidents who

560
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: are sitting here today, President Kamala Harris, President Hillary Clinton,

561
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: President Bill Clinton, First Lady Jill Biden, President Biden, and

562
00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: Chicago's own south Side President Barack Obama, Thomas said, which

563
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 1: drew applause. I get he's not just an idiot. Yes, Oh,

564
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: he's making a joke. I kid it. Hillary Clinton, Harris,

565
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: who is also among the speakers, each lost their presidential

566
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: races to the current president, Donald Trump. As history wal note.

567
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: Thomas also praised Jackson for being an inspiration throughout his life,

568
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 1: while adding that fellow civil rights leaders Medgar Evans and

569
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King Jr. Were his heroes. Apparently, George W.

570
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,720
Speaker 1: Bush not a hero. Certainly it wouldn't seem Donald Trump,

571
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 1: President Kamala. Also for those who were being honest in

572
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: the audience, thinking about that, I'm sure gave them absolute

573
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: tremors of fear, just like, wow, this could have been

574
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: really bad. Any who. So there are the five presidents.

575
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson again a guy with a complicated past. If

576
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: we looked at his life on a Facebook status relationship wise,

577
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: you know, as they say that on the Facebook, it

578
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 1: would be it's complicated. He was very obviously instrumental in

579
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,720
Speaker 1: the civil rights movement in America from the sixties up.

580
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: Obviously as the leader of the Rainbow Push Coalition, was

581
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: very much involved in the fight for civil rights for

582
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 1: a long time. He was the first black candidate for

583
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: president who really picked up steam. I mean, there's no

584
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: doubt about the eighties, his eighties campaigns, and that he

585
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: had obviously a base of support back then. But there

586
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: also is no doubt that Jesse Jackson was at the

587
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: end of it all, from beginning to end. All about

588
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson. There's a story that was written by a

589
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: gentleman who was next to Martin Luther King on that

590
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: horrible April morning when doctor King was assassinated in Memphis

591
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 1: and told the story of how he was there, held

592
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: him in his arms, talked to him, assured him that

593
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: things were going to be okay. And not long after that,

594
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson was before all of the cameras saying that

595
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: he was there with Martin Luther King Jr. He was

596
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: the first one to be at his side. He was

597
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: the last one there to see him alive, and he

598
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: came out with a blood soaked shirt. And by all accounts,

599
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:17,760
Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson was in the hotel drinking coffee and chatting

600
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: with some folks at the time. Was not there at

601
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: all during that very violent moment, But that didn't matter.

602
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 1: And that's right there, sums up the Reverend Jesse Jackson.

603
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,320
Speaker 1: This does too, though, a guy who had a sense

604
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: of humor. You don't find too many liberals with a

605
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: sense of humor anymore. And for those of us of

606
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: a certain age, we will long remember Jesse Jackson for

607
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: his appearance on Saturday Night Live in nineteen ninety when

608
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: he addressed the nation reading the Doctor Sue's classic Green

609
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: Eggs and ham Have a little bit of that, shall we?

610
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 8: Peter Gaizo, known to his loyal readers, as Doctor Seuss

611
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 8: died this week at the age of eighty seven. Like

612
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 8: many of us, I grew up with Doctor Seuss, and

613
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 8: one of my favorite stories is Green Eggs and Ham.

614
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 8: Here to read from this classic is the Reverend Jesse

615
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 8: Jackson Real.

616
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: Good Night.

617
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 9: Rather than read from First and Second Samuel, I read

618
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:41,319
Speaker 9: from Sam. I am, according to the latter day Saint SEUs,

619
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 9: you do not like green eggs and ham. I do

620
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 9: not like them, slam i am. I would not own

621
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 9: a boot, I will not will not with a goat.

622
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 10: I will not eat them in the rain.

623
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 6: I will not eat them on.

624
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 10: A train, not in a dog, not on a tree,

625
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 10: not in the car. You let me be. I do

626
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 10: not like them in a box. I do not like

627
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 10: them with a fox. I will not eat them in

628
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 10: a house. I do not like them with a mouth.

629
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 10: I do not like them here are there? I do

630
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 10: not like them anywhere. I do not like green eggs

631
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 10: and ham.

632
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: Oh it was good stuff, good stuff. It was a

633
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: simpler time back then. Sure there was a war in

634
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: the Middle East, but simpler, simpler times. We'll take a

635
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 1: quick break. Coming up next, a conversation about the latest

636
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: gambling battle in Wisconsin. Stay tuned. You are tapped in

637
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: and tuned in to the Dan O'donnald Show with your

638
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:16,760
Speaker 1: old radio ego, Matt Kittle. Hang on, we are gonna

639
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: rock down to Electric Avenue and then we take it.

640
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 3: Aya.

641
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, my friends. If you're gonna

642
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:31,240
Speaker 1: rock down to Electric Avenue, you'd better take it. Aya.

643
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 1: There's no reason to rock down to Electric Avenue if

644
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 1: you don't take it. Ayah Kittle. Here you are there,

645
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: Welcome to Friday. Much to accomplish yet this hour and

646
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: right now we turn our attention to gambling in Wisconsin.

647
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: Another gambling battle in the Badger state. A bipartisan bill

648
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 1: to legalize online sports betting in Wisconsin facing opposition from

649
00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:00,760
Speaker 1: high profile companies offering online sports gambling in return. Of course,

650
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: the tribes here in Wisconsin that want to exclusively control

651
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: online gambling in Wisconsin are opposing the opposition. You know

652
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: how these things go. The legislation would allow wisconsinights to

653
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: place a sports bet via a cell phone or computer

654
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: if the service used to host the wager is physically

655
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: located on the states federally recognized tribal lands. We always

656
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 1: we've had that deal for a long time, right, you

657
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: want gambling in Wisconsin, for the most part, it better

658
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: be on tribal land or something that the tribes have

659
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: invented as tribal land. Anyway, currently sports betting is only

660
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: legal at tribal casinos in Wisconsin. Lucas Weber, deputy legal

661
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: counsel at the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, joins

662
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: us now for a closer look at the issue. Good afternoon, sir,

663
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us in the Dan O'Donnell show.

664
00:51:56,920 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 11: Hey, good afternoon, Chittle, and good afternoon Milwaukee and everybody

665
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 11: streaming out there.

666
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Friday, buddy. It's just about time to head

667
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: on home and put the work week behind us. But

668
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 1: there are some groups working overtime right now to see

669
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: if the Senate will pass a bill that would give well,

670
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: bring this sports betting universally. I guess to Wisconsin first

671
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,239
Speaker 1: of all, break down, what exactly do you know what

672
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: the latest version of the legislation is and do you

673
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 1: know why so many lawmakers seem to be hiding from it?

674
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 11: Yeah, so the version that passed the Assembly is pretty

675
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 11: much the same version that was introduced last fall. There

676
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,439
Speaker 11: were some small technical amendments to it, but it's pretty

677
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 11: much the same version that was introduced. What the bill

678
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 11: does because under Wisconsin law, placing a beck is illegal,

679
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 11: well this bill does if it says, if you place

680
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 11: a beck and that bet is being placed with with

681
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 11: a server that's located on tribal lane and in the

682
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 11: state of Wisconsin, then they deem you to have placed

683
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 11: that that on the tribal land, not wherever you actually

684
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 11: placed it in Wisconsin, so it wouldn't be criminal. Sure

685
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 11: if you did that.

686
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 7: That's kind of the technicality of how it works as

687
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 7: a matter of law.

688
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: That's stupid. Sorry, but it's always been stupid to me,

689
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: and I know that that's what Wisconsin has wanted for

690
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: a long I don't know. It's subject to change, obviously,

691
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: but the constitution says what the constitution says. And all

692
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 1: of these kinds of things new gambling, whether it be

693
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: dog racing or slot machines, casino expansion, and now sports gambling,

694
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: it all has to be tied into these tribes. They

695
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 1: have to run it. It has to be operated on

696
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:57,439
Speaker 1: their land, except you are not on their land when

697
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: you are wagering. You could be you could be at

698
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: your casino. You could be at your slot machine and

699
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: go into town on that old bandit slot machine right

700
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: there at one of the tribal casinos while you are

701
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: making online bets about the New York Yankees in the

702
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox. It's more than likely though, you will

703
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: be far away from one of these casinos. So how

704
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:30,399
Speaker 1: do we even get to this point logically?

705
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 7: Yeah?

706
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 11: So, And there's a lot of lobbyists on both sides

707
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 11: of this issue, either pushing for it or opposing it,

708
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 11: and they're making a lot of money. Our point on

709
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 11: this has been the Constitution of the state of Wisconsin

710
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 11: is very clear. The people of Wisconsin amended the constitution

711
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 11: in the early nineteen nineties to take away the legislature

712
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 11: power to authorize gaming gambling in any form. What it

713
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,280
Speaker 11: says is the legislature may not authorize gambling in any form.

714
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 11: It's a pretty specific and clear command in the in

715
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 11: the constitution, and our points in this bill is just, hey,

716
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 11: if you want to legalize gambling, what you need to

717
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 11: do is first amend the constitution because it has to

718
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 11: allow the legislature simply doesn't have the power to pass

719
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 11: the bill that they want to pass. Here which clearly

720
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 11: is an authorization of gambling in a particular form. And

721
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 11: that's that's the real problem, the kind of the root

722
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,760
Speaker 11: of the problem with this bill. The legislature simply cannot

723
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 11: do the thing that the lobbyists want them to do.

724
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: Well, this is the thing. I mean, this has been

725
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: going on obviously for nyon to forty years. This battle

726
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: has been going on. So how do we get to

727
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: a point and again, I know we should have this

728
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 1: straightened out and settled already after thirty five plus years,

729
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: But how do we get to a point where it's

730
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:53,919
Speaker 1: okay for tribal lands and tribes to operate casinos and

731
00:55:55,160 --> 00:56:00,040
Speaker 1: not okay for others in outside of those tribes in

732
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: Wisconsin to operate casinos. And again, what we see here

733
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: is that the loophole always has been you can't gamble

734
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:13,920
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin unless you're in another nation, as it is assumed.

735
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, and it all has to do with superseding federal

736
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 11: law for these particular tribes. In some court cases that

737
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 11: came up over the past three decades. Wisconsin's kind of

738
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 11: tribal gaming framework itself is sort of on tenuous legal ground.

739
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 11: I mean, there was this kind of back and forth

740
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 11: in the early two thousands about whether they could have

741
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 11: this sort of expanded casino gaming. But even if you

742
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,919
Speaker 11: assume that they can have sports betting in their casinos now,

743
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 11: which is what's happening, expanding that to outside of their

744
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,320
Speaker 11: casinos and throughout the state of Wisconsin would still violate

745
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,399
Speaker 11: Wisconsin law as it's currently written right now. And if

746
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 11: the legislature wants to decriminalize any form of gambling as

747
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 11: they would be doing here, they simply don't have the

748
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 11: authority to do it. The people said, you don't have it,

749
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 11: so you can't do it. There's nothing they can do.

750
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 11: What they could do as they could introduce the constitutional

751
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 11: amendment and put it up for a referendum of the

752
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,839
Speaker 11: people and let the people decide, And that's ultimately where

753
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 11: this needs to go. There'll certainly be legal fights if

754
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 11: this bill moves forward, certain of that, and it's just

755
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 11: going to be a lot of back and forth here

756
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 11: over the coming years.

757
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: Look as Weber, deputy legal counsel at the Wisconsin Institute

758
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: for Law and Liberty, joining us about the latest gambling battle.

759
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: Now sports betting. Of course, sports betting has been on

760
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: the casinos and did did the legislature. I forget did

761
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: they have to deal with that first and foremost? Now again,

762
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: you can bet on sports, but you have to be

763
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: on tribal land in Wisconsin to do that. Was that

764
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: a legislative move?

765
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 11: No, it was not, And that was all done you Latterly,

766
00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 11: Governor Evers negotiated amendments to the compacts and he's purportedly

767
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 11: allowed to do that because of a Supreme Court decision

768
00:57:55,960 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 11: from the state of Wisconsin in the early two thousands.

769
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 11: Kind of gets into some some legal back and forth there.

770
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 11: We actually put on a memo kind of explaining some

771
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 11: of this. But I don't want all your listeners to

772
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 11: do to fall asleep on me here today. But that

773
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 11: was how that all came to be. The governor just

774
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 11: negotiated an amendment directly with the tribes. The legislature has

775
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 11: no oversight or control over that.

776
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? That that memo, my friend, it's

777
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: it's like or well stuff. I mean, it's it's poetry

778
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's very informative, very very instructive on

779
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: that front. Now here's a question for you, what could

780
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: possibly go wrong with having Governor Tony Evers negotiate something

781
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: exclusively on behalf of of Wisconsinight's uh, He's got a

782
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: great track record, of course, of doing things unilaterally that

783
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: would never hurt the property tax payers in Wisconsin. Right.

784
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 7: Yeah.

785
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 11: I mean, I think anytime anybody is making these kinds

786
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 11: of decisions, you know, latterly, it's a bad idea. Right,

787
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 11: we need to have oversight. You need to have the

788
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 11: public involvement, You need to have the people of Wisconsin engaged.

789
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 11: Anytime you have these kind of backroom deals to make

790
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 11: these amendments, it's ridiculous.

791
00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm not

792
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: much of a gambler, and when I am, i'm a

793
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 1: bad gambler. And one of the things I'll be honest

794
00:59:19,960 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: with you that I hate about modern sports radio is

795
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: you can't find a show on the radio today that

796
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have some sort of betting line on it. And

797
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: I don't give a crap about that. But there are

798
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people who do care about this, and

799
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: they want this in the state. But here's the question.

800
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: You guys are free market folks through and through. How

801
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: is this a free market issue that we keep hearing about?

802
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: If tribal lands tribes have just exclusive control of this.

803
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, we put in our memo with some of the

804
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 11: outlines on that. We actually think there are some constitutional

805
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 11: issues with that. I think that's going to be an

806
00:59:58,280 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 11: area that courts are going to have to dive into

807
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,720
Speaker 11: in the coming years, whether or not it's lawful to allow,

808
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 11: you know, one particular group of people to have casinos

809
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 11: and no one else, whether that comports with you know,

810
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 11: the equal protection guarantees in our in our state and

811
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 11: federal constitution. So those are very real questions. I think

812
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 11: there's a lot yet to be answered on gaming law

813
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 11: from our perspective organizationally, and we're a free market organization.

814
01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 11: If people want to gamble, there's a way to do it.

815
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 11: You just simply change the constitution to say that it's

816
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 11: you know, you can, you can allow it. The legislature

817
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 11: can then repeal whatever laws they want and and anybody

818
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 11: can enter the marketplace. But until they do that, the

819
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 11: legislature simply lacks the power to do the one thing

820
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 11: here that the Travel Gaming alwyats are asking them to do.

821
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 11: And unless they unless the people who Wisconsin give them

822
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 11: that authority, they simply don't have it.

823
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 7: You know.

824
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: And maybe that's changed. I mean, the people of Wisconsin

825
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: back in the early nineteen nineties, and I was a

826
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 1: voter at that time, they did not approve of gambling

827
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. Obviously, it's into the constitution. Maybe maybe if

828
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: you have a constitutional amendment vote on this. A lot

829
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: of things have changed. I mean, I never thought in

830
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: the early nineteen nineties that I would smell weed coming

831
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: out of Illinois as I drive down the southern border

832
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: of Kenosha into Illinois. Actually, you don't even need to

833
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 1: have that because in Milwaukee you can't go anywhere without

834
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: smelling weed. Obviously, ideas and mores have changed in this area.

835
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: Why are these folks who on both sides, who are

836
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: pushing for sports betting in Wisconsin, why don't they just say, hey,

837
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,800
Speaker 1: let's leave it up to the people of Wisconsin.

838
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 11: You know, I think you've got the casinos that exist

839
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 11: now that have that monopoly. They want to protect it, right,

840
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,200
Speaker 11: They want to box out competition, they want to maximize

841
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 11: as much money as they can, and their lobbyists who

842
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 11: are in Madison are trying.

843
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 7: To protect that.

844
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 11: And that's you know. I mean, I think you know,

845
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 11: whether you agree with them or not, I think everybody

846
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 11: kind of understands why they're doing it. And then you've

847
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,360
Speaker 11: got these some of these other you know, people who

848
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 11: want to get involved in in gaming who are on

849
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 11: the other side here, and you know they're fighting that

850
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 11: out and whether this is good or bad. And again,

851
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 11: our perspective is just if the people of Wisconsin want this,

852
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 11: there's a lawful way to do it and an unlawful

853
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 11: way to do it. The way they're doing it right

854
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 11: now is unlawful. It's unconstitutional. If you want to do this,

855
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 11: there's a couple other steps you have to do, and

856
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:25,320
Speaker 11: the people of Wisconsin they are going to have to

857
01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 11: give you that power. And that's spread through the way

858
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 11: it should be. The people should have a say in this.

859
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 11: You know, if they want to amend our constitution, that's

860
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 11: up to the people of Wisconsin. If they've changed their mind,

861
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 11: they're allowed to do that. There's an amendment process, then

862
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 11: they should engage in that.

863
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: Lucas, it's also sneaky to me. I get a I

864
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: always get a creepy Crawley feeling when an issue of

865
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: this magnitude is moved forward on a voice vote. What

866
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 1: are you hearing from Madison about that? And what are

867
01:02:55,000 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: you hearing about the Senate Senator lem Mehew apparently has

868
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: some way to get around the regular process. What's that

869
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: all about? What are you hearing these days on that?

870
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:11,959
Speaker 11: Yeah? So for the listeners who don't know, a voice

871
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,439
Speaker 11: vote is a way for the legislative bodies to vote

872
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 11: without actually putting their names out there and saying who

873
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 11: voted yes or no. It just sort of passes and

874
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 11: nobody objects to it. So in the Assembly, on a

875
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 11: voice vote. In the Senate, I know there's opposition to it,

876
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 11: the Senate will probably likely voice force a recorded vote

877
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 11: and everyone will have to say where they are yes

878
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 11: or no on it if it moves forward in the Senate.

879
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 11: And again I know there's a lot of opposition out

880
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 11: there and they're talking about it. There's not a lot

881
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 11: of time left for them to make decisions on it.

882
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 11: But you know, if it comes forward, we've seen it before,

883
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 11: you know, when when lawmakers oppose something. Obviously, you know,

884
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 11: lawmakers and leadership have other tools in their toolbox in

885
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 11: ways that they can kind of force this stuff through.

886
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 11: We've seen it used before against like wedding Barnes for example.

887
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 11: There are tools out there that could use to try

888
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 11: to push this stuff through. So it'll be interesting to

889
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 11: see as a matter of legislative procedure how this all

890
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 11: plays out, of course, but would certainly hope that if

891
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 11: it does play out, at least there's a record so

892
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 11: the people of Wisconsin can see, you know, how everybody voted.

893
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: Agreed, agreed, well, and please don't sell yourself short that memo.

894
01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: It's exquisite writing. It's it is, it's pure poetry. It's

895
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: it's Shakespeare. It tells tells you what you need, tells

896
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: you what you need to know about the law, and

897
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:35,640
Speaker 1: that's extremely important in this debate. It has to follow

898
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: the law. Lucas, as always, thanks for your insight, your expertise,

899
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:41,080

01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: I said, just after the five o'clock news, get you

928
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: caught up on all of the information and all of

929
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 1: that stuff. But now, hooray for Hollywood of these old clips,

930
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 1: black and white movie clicks that the old band happily

931
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: playing Glenn Miller on his clarinet in a big white

932
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 1: and it's beautiful. It harkens back to a different time,

933
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 1: a much different time in Hollywood, the Golden years. I

934
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:12,920
Speaker 1: think that time has passed for a lot of reasons.

935
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: Thinking of all of that. Of course, the Oscars are

936
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: coming up, the Academy Awards. So who's a lock to

937
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: win an Oscar this year? Who's taking home Best Editing?

938
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 7: Oh?

939
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 1: I can't wait. Have you seen any of the movies nominated?

940
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 1: How much nausea can the self congratulatory woke show pump

941
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: out this year?

942
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 6: Well?

943
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 1: Christian Toto, Award winning film critic, journalist and founder of

944
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 1: Hollywood In toto Excellent website, joins us now for what

945
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: to expect at the ninety eighth Academy Awards. Good afternoon, sir,

946
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 1: how are you?

947
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 7: I'm great? Thanks for having the show.

948
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know you've got a standing invitation here. We

949
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 1: love your website and your podcast will talk about that

950
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: in just a moment. Okay, so here we are who

951
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 1: the excitement is building Christian next weekend, not this weekend.

952
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 1: Next weekend, we can hardly contain ourselves. It's the ninety

953
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:15,120
Speaker 1: eighth Academy Awards. One thing I'm glad to see, am

954
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 1: I correct in this that Conan is still a topping

955
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: the bill to host this.

956
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 7: Conan O'Brien, Yeah, yeah, not the worst pick, and he

957
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 7: can be solid, and he can be funny, and he

958
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,479
Speaker 7: is less of thisive than others. So yeah, I mean

959
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 7: rather have Ricky Gervais on the podium, but we can't

960
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 7: have him. Conan's not a bad plan base.

961
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: Exactly. He has for the most part, tried to stay

962
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,759
Speaker 1: out of all of the political nonsense going on. Speaking

963
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,759
Speaker 1: of political nonsense, before we get to the big movies,

964
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 1: the nominees, what are you expecting from this crew given

965
01:08:49,840 --> 01:08:55,600
Speaker 1: the current situation, the war in Iran and again the

966
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 1: return to the Trump two point zero.

967
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 7: You know, it's funny. During the early Trump years, these

968
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 7: award shows became d nc rallies and it really chased

969
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 7: a lot of viewers away. But in the last few

970
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 7: years they've been course correcting a bit where it's not

971
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 7: as political. It's just the entertainers it's a lot of

972
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 7: thank you, thank you, I appreciate you, blah blah blah,

973
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 7: which is good, and then more recently, I feel like

974
01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 7: a swinging path to the bad old recent things. So

975
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,959
Speaker 7: I don't know what to suspect. There's certainly no shortage

976
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,720
Speaker 7: of topics that they could opine on, and I'm sure

977
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 7: if you look at the red carpet there's going to

978
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 7: be a ton of ice out or bleep ice or

979
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:37,880
Speaker 7: something buttons being worn by the beautiful people. But yeah,

980
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,719
Speaker 7: I have to say, I just don't know. It won't

981
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 7: be unmentioned the usual topics, but I don't know how

982
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 7: far they'll go into it, because I think in recent

983
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 7: years even the Hollywood elite have realized that they're shooting

984
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 7: their cells in the foot in their industry because this

985
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 7: is really ultimately an advertisement for movies, and that's what

986
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 7: this is all about. This is, hey, look at these

987
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 7: where's look at these pretty people. Go see these movies,

988
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 7: you know, stream them, see them, rent them, whatever, And

989
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 7: I think they've often forgotten that. And I think in

990
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 7: recent years, because the industry is really suffering a lot

991
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:12,880
Speaker 7: of body blows from multiple fronts, they've been trying to

992
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 7: you know, ratchet it down. But I don't think they

993
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 7: can help themselves.

994
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 1: I don't think they can either. They're insufferable, and I

995
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:23,800
Speaker 1: think they're going to continue to be insufferable. Well, let

996
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 1: me ask you this question related to it. Will there

997
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 1: be ice arrest at the Academy Awards? There certainly are

998
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: a number of illegal immigrants who have helped make the

999
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 1: magic of Hollywood over the years.

1000
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, listen, I'm all for border and forever. I think

1001
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 7: I want to see that. That sounds like a worst

1002
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 7: case scenario in any ways, So let's just let the

1003
01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 7: let the guards keep the risk out of the ceremony,

1004
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 7: let the stars do what they do, and let's just

1005
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 7: let's just hope that the show somehow gets in under

1006
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 7: three hours. That can never do it. I just you know,

1007
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 7: it's the one show I need to watch. It's my job,

1008
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 7: and it's the one thing I dread because it's so

1009
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:03,600
Speaker 7: long and so boring and so filled with lectures. And

1010
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:05,759
Speaker 7: I'm thinking, oh, at least they can make it shorter,

1011
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 7: but they always say they're going to, they always promise it,

1012
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 7: and it just never happens.

1013
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: I know, you're your own boss, but you should give

1014
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:20,640
Speaker 1: yourself casualty pay for situations like this. Yeah, there are

1015
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 1: a number of drinking games that will be involved in

1016
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:26,759
Speaker 1: this particular program as well. I can imagine now talking

1017
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 1: about Ice, there is a picture nominated that has a

1018
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:37,840
Speaker 1: lot of the leftist sentiment on ice in it. As

1019
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:42,639
Speaker 1: I understand, I have not seen the movie One Battle

1020
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 1: after another, but that up until late and then I

1021
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 1: read your column today. Up until late that was like

1022
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: the odds on winter. But hold the phone, what's going

1023
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:53,759
Speaker 1: on there?

1024
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,560
Speaker 7: Yeah? I mean, right from these very jump, it's like

1025
01:11:57,640 --> 01:11:59,599
Speaker 7: this is a lock one that'll after another. You've got

1026
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 7: under DiCaprio, You've got Paul Thomas Anderson, who's a great director,

1027
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,559
Speaker 7: and the subject matter is it. I mean, it couldn't

1028
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 7: be crafted any better for the Hollywood sort of the

1029
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 7: mentality within the industry. It's all about the legal immigration,

1030
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 7: about defending illegal immigrants, about attacking the government. I mean,

1031
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,800
Speaker 7: you couldn't write a movie that's more perfectly aligned. And

1032
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 7: having said that, it's been the front runner forever, and

1033
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 7: the season goes on forever. This award season just goes

1034
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,839
Speaker 7: on and on, and in recent days, the movie Sinners,

1035
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:31,439
Speaker 7: which is the one that has the best chance of

1036
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 7: upsetting one battle, getting some momentum, getting some energy. And

1037
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:37,200
Speaker 7: one of the things I mentioned in that story of

1038
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 7: Hollywood in Toto is that the craziest thing happened a

1039
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:43,599
Speaker 7: couple of weeks ago the British Award the Baptis. There

1040
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 7: was the N word uttered and I know that's an ugly, awful,

1041
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:50,720
Speaker 7: terrible word, but the person rep syndrome and boy, he's

1042
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,439
Speaker 7: literally probably the last word he would ever want to

1043
01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 7: say at the event. He was backstage, but apparently the

1044
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 7: audio that leaked out, and of course it's embarrassing, it's ugly,

1045
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:01,839
Speaker 7: but you know, you got to think about the context.

1046
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 7: This poor guy has a syndrome, and there's a movie

1047
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:06,600
Speaker 7: about him that really shows you how delicate this is

1048
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 7: and how terrible it is. So we've been talking about

1049
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 7: about two or three weeks now, and that's that word

1050
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 7: and the fallout and the fact that Sinners is a

1051
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 7: is a production about black culture in the early you know,

1052
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:23,679
Speaker 7: nineteen thirties and racism. You don't know if that could

1053
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,480
Speaker 7: impact some of the voting. I mean, that's how mercurial

1054
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 7: this whole voting process is. Did the actors say all

1055
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,800
Speaker 7: the right things? Did the director give a good enough

1056
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 7: speech at the other award shows. There are so many

1057
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 7: little things that go into Oscar season, and so all

1058
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 7: of a sudden, what seemed like a slam dunk for

1059
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 7: one battle after another. I don't think it's as slamdunky

1060
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 7: as it was.

1061
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 1: H Now, I remember talking to you a few months ago,

1062
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:51,640
Speaker 1: and I remember you really liked this movie, Marty Supreme.

1063
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 1: Let me ask you, what is your what is your pick?

1064
01:13:55,600 --> 01:14:02,880
Speaker 1: If you could be you know, the the Ayatola Oscar voting,

1065
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: what what what's your pick?

1066
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 2: Yep?

1067
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 1: Exactly, hold on, yep.

1068
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:09,600
Speaker 7: Yeah. I think Marty Sopreme was the best movie I

1069
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,639
Speaker 7: saw that the last past year. It's not gonna win,

1070
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,759
Speaker 7: although I wasn't. We talked about Sinators versus One Battle.

1071
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 7: I think Sinders is a better movie. I think it's

1072
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 7: brilliant and I hope it wins. But that's just the

1073
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 7: way it goes. But Marty Supreme, I thought was going

1074
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 7: to catapult the star Timothy Shalomy to Best Actor status

1075
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 7: because he's a very talented guy. And now there's a

1076
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:33,360
Speaker 7: story saying that the insiders in Hollywood don't like his attitude.

1077
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 7: He's too brash, He's this or that he came out today.

1078
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 7: I don't you know, I don't know when the voting closes.

1079
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 7: I think it's very soon. It might have ended already.

1080
01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 7: But he came out basically making what a ballet and opera,

1081
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:46,679
Speaker 7: saying no one cares about those art forms anymore. Again

1082
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,720
Speaker 7: comment I understand where he's coming from. This popular as

1083
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 7: they once were. But those little silly things sometimes affect

1084
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 7: the votes, and it's just crazy because it really should

1085
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,760
Speaker 7: be what's the best picture, what's the best performance? And

1086
01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:02,080
Speaker 7: then it was all subjective, but you do try to

1087
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:03,760
Speaker 7: boil it down to the best of the best. And

1088
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 7: often with these events it's not that, I guess you

1089
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 7: get sentimentality in there. You get you know, politics, you

1090
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 7: get everything. And it's one of the reasons why you

1091
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 7: don't care enough about the Oscars anymore, because the winners

1092
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:17,440
Speaker 7: everything comes to an asterisk.

1093
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 1: It sure does, Sure it does. Just a couple more

1094
01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:26,400
Speaker 1: minutes left with Christian Toto Hollywood in Toto real quick

1095
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:32,599
Speaker 1: handicap the best actor, Best actress, and best Director. Where

1096
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 1: are they going in your estimation?

1097
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 7: Well, the actor I thought was Shallo May Now it

1098
01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 7: looks like it could be Michael B. Jordan and Leonardo

1099
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:43,719
Speaker 7: DiCaprio was over in the running. So I think that's

1100
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:46,680
Speaker 7: the race there. You know, the actress, I really think

1101
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 7: it's just going to be Jesse Buckley, who is really

1102
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 7: just tore up the scenery and Hamnet as a grieving mom.

1103
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:57,320
Speaker 7: So I think that's the one that maybe lacke is

1104
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:01,559
Speaker 7: too strong a word. And then direct totally speaking, you know,

1105
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 7: it's the same fight. You know. Ryan Coogler is a

1106
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 7: terrific young director. He did Sinners. He could certainly win.

1107
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 7: But Paul Thomas Anderson, I don't know if he's ever

1108
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:13,000
Speaker 7: won Best Director. I need to double check. He may have,

1109
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 7: or maybe he hasn't won the Best Picture Award yet

1110
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 7: for a movie he's done. So I think that's the

1111
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 7: race there. And yeah, I'll be interesting to see. And

1112
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 7: often when you watch these events, if you're crazy like

1113
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 7: me and watch the whole thing, there's a bit of

1114
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 7: a momentum sweep going on. So if you see a

1115
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 7: movie winning a lot of early awards, maybe the Tech Awards,

1116
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 7: you get the sense that that's their night. So if

1117
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 7: Sinners starts to win a lot of early awards, that

1118
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:39,640
Speaker 7: could be a sign. And also Sinners won sixteen nominations

1119
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 7: I believe, which is the most of any film ever.

1120
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:45,760
Speaker 7: So while I really enjoyed it film, ever, I'm sorry

1121
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,559
Speaker 7: a lot of other great films that defeated a good movie.

1122
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 7: Good good watch, and I hope it does well on

1123
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 7: Oscar Night. It deserves it.

1124
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: You know, you've seen a lot of great movies in

1125
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 1: your time in movie criticism. You've seen a lot of

1126
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 1: duds too. Next time we have you on, we'll talk

1127
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:04,760
Speaker 1: about the latest duds if you will. We're running out

1128
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 1: of time, but real quick, what do you got on

1129
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 1: the podcast this week?

1130
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've got going to intervene with the founder of

1131
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 7: a website called worth it or woke, which is a

1132
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 7: little bit like Rotten Tomatoes, but the critics are grating

1133
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 7: things on that particular curve. Is this pure entertainment or

1134
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 7: is it so woke it's exhausting? So we kind of

1135
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 7: break down how he created the site, why he did,

1136
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 7: and some of the some of the bumps he's kind

1137
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 7: of hit along the way.

1138
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 1: They are humorous, good stuff as always, Christian Toto, Hollywood

1139
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,560
Speaker 1: and Toto, thanks for joining us. Good luck at the Oscars.

1140
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: More to come. The Dan O'donnald Show Straight ahead, here

1141
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: we go thrill seekers. Less than an hour left the

1142
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:51,960
Speaker 1: busy week on the Dan o'donald Show with your old

1143
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 1: radio talk show host fill in Daddy Matt Kittle. Hey, Hey, buddy,

1144
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 1: how are you welcome to the ride home? Yes, it's

1145
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: time to get our weekend on. My wife always rolls

1146
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: her eyes when I say things like that, and just

1147
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 1: hearing it amplified in my headphones makes me understand why now?

1148
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,600
Speaker 1: Oh much much to do? Though, before we say a

1149
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 1: do on this Friday edition of The Dan O'Donnell Show.

1150
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 1: Coming up in just a bit. Here's a strange as

1151
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: Paul Harvey used to say, strange terminology before a congressional

1152
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 1: hearing today. I didn't know this was an issue until

1153
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:44,520
Speaker 1: we got here. Queering the map. Yes, it's a term.

1154
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:54,200
Speaker 1: It was a term officialized, made official during the Biden years,

1155
01:18:55,040 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: and it involves cartography and it's really stud but an

1156
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 1: insane you'll hear the exchange coming up a little bit

1157
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 1: later this hour. What else do we have?

1158
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 4: Oh?

1159
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: Yes, to be well, not to be censored. A government

1160
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: anti terrorism unit in the UK has flagged the works

1161
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:23,719
Speaker 1: of Shakespeare, among others as Yes, of course, right wing

1162
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: extremism and fuel for terrorists. We'll talk about that a

1163
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 1: little bit later, but now sad news to report in

1164
01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 1: Packer Land. Bob Harlan, one of the all time greats

1165
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:44,200
Speaker 1: legends of the Green Bay Packers, a guy who really

1166
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:51,559
Speaker 1: came in and cured a listing ship, an NFL storied

1167
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:57,480
Speaker 1: NFL franchise. Former Packers president Bob Harlan, who was responsible

1168
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 1: for hiring two different general managers who won Super Bowls,

1169
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 1: died Thursday after a brief illness. The organization reported he

1170
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:10,639
Speaker 1: was eighty nine. Harland first joined the Packers in nineteen

1171
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 1: seventy one before being elected president and CEO in nineteen

1172
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:19,680
Speaker 1: eighty nine. This is a guy who lived and breathed

1173
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: green and Gold were much of his life, most of

1174
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:29,639
Speaker 1: his life. His tenure included hiring Ron Wolf, of course,

1175
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 1: the legendary Ron Wolf, who was the GM when the

1176
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:36,839
Speaker 1: Packers won the Super Bowl during the nineteen ninety six season.

1177
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:41,719
Speaker 1: Oh it was so good, so good. And Ted Thompson,

1178
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: who helped the team win its most recent title in

1179
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 1: twenty ten. And that makes me that much hungrier for

1180
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 1: a new title. Of course, Packers have won a lot

1181
01:20:56,800 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: of them, and again, Bob Harlan was the architect really

1182
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:05,679
Speaker 1: of that at least, you know, bringing in the brain trust,

1183
01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:09,559
Speaker 1: the powers that be that turn that organization around. A

1184
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 1: gentleman who has covered this organization for a long time,

1185
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:19,440
Speaker 1: including its management and all that it has done over

1186
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,720
Speaker 1: the last many many years, is the guy producing this

1187
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:26,160
Speaker 1: show right now, Doug Russell. Doug, your thoughts on the

1188
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 1: passing of this legendary Green and gold Man.

1189
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:33,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, tragic, absolutely, I mean he was eighty nine years old.

1190
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:35,679
Speaker 3: He lived in incredible life. Nobody lives ye forever.

1191
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 5: Unfortunately, if you thought that someone could, it might have

1192
01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:42,200
Speaker 5: been Bob Harlan, because it felt like he was still

1193
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 5: involved with the team, at least on the periphery for

1194
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 5: so long because everyone sought him out wanting to talk

1195
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:51,559
Speaker 5: about an era that I think is getting lost among

1196
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 5: newer Packers fans because if you're of a certain age,

1197
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 5: you don't remember what it's like to not have And

1198
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:58,640
Speaker 5: we'll see what happens with Jordan Love, but did not

1199
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 5: have a Hall of Fame quarterback, for example, First it

1200
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,640
Speaker 5: was Bread, then it was Aaron, but there were you know,

1201
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 5: there's a quarter century before that where this was a

1202
01:22:06,479 --> 01:22:08,800
Speaker 5: team that was just wandering out into the wilderness after

1203
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:11,280
Speaker 5: the Lombardi era, and Bob Harlan was the one who

1204
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 5: brought it back.

1205
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, yes, you know there are there are

1206
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: people listening to this show right now. God bless you.

1207
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 1: But you have been extremely blessed over the last thirty

1208
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:30,000
Speaker 1: five years thereabouts. In the Bob Harlan era. Of course,

1209
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:32,680
Speaker 1: you went from who was before. And I'm trying to

1210
01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:34,719
Speaker 1: remember Lendy and Fonte as the head coach.

1211
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,680
Speaker 5: Right, Lindian font yeers, Yeah, Lindy and Fanti was the

1212
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 5: head coach that Bob Harlan. Well, Indian Fonte came in

1213
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 5: I believe in eighty eight. And so Bob Parents, Robert Parents,

1214
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 5: Judge Parents was the president and CEO. But the one

1215
01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 5: of the things that Bob Harlan talked about through the

1216
01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:55,599
Speaker 5: revival of the franchise was when Robert Parents and before him,

1217
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:59,560
Speaker 5: Dominico Anichak was the were the presidents and the CEOs.

1218
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 3: It was the executive.

1219
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 5: Board who kept meddling in all of the decisions that

1220
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 5: were being made. There were too many cooks in the

1221
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:08,640
Speaker 5: kitchen and one of the things that they needed to

1222
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 5: do and what Bob Harlan needed to do was to

1223
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 5: simplify who's making the football decisions. That was top of

1224
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 5: his list of one of the things that had to

1225
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:19,679
Speaker 5: be done if this team was ever going to reach

1226
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 5: the tentacle of football again.

1227
01:23:23,640 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 1: And it certainly did, and that stream streamlining, of course,

1228
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 1: was a new and a refreshing way of thinking. Again,

1229
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to be labor this point, but as

1230
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 1: a kid, a young kid in the nineteen seventies and

1231
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 1: in my formative years in the nineteen eighties, you're not

1232
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: going to believe this, but there was a time when

1233
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears fans used to be able to mock us. Okay,

1234
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 1: does that put it in perspective? Now, that's a team,

1235
01:23:58,120 --> 01:24:01,439
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, a storied franchise, obviously, but a team

1236
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: that has seen Doug how many four hundred and sixty

1237
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks in the Bob from the Bob Harlan start.

1238
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 5: Well, put it this way, the Bears, the city of

1239
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 5: Chicago produced a pope before they have a four thousand

1240
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 5: yard passer.

1241
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:19,639
Speaker 1: So that puts it in perspective, no doubt about that.

1242
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 1: What was Bob Harlan as he went about recognizing that change,

1243
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 1: first and foremost was needed in this organization. What was

1244
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 1: it that you remember him most being in the room

1245
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 1: when they said, Hey, this kid who played football in

1246
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 1: Mississippi who is sitting on the bench in Atlanta, I

1247
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 1: believe that he's going to be a future franchise quarterback.

1248
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:51,639
Speaker 1: Was that his biggest move, along with of course Ron

1249
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 1: Wolf and the rest.

1250
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,680
Speaker 3: The biggest move that yes and no.

1251
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 5: So the biggest move that Bob Harland did was to

1252
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:01,520
Speaker 5: powerplay the executive board to giving all of the authority.

1253
01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:05,040
Speaker 5: And Ron Wolf actually went to Bob Harlan and asked

1254
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 5: permission to trade a first round draft choice to the

1255
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:11,639
Speaker 5: Atlanta Falcons for this quarterback that Paul Tagliabu, the late

1256
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 5: Paul tag Leaboo when he was drafting, you know, announcing

1257
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 5: the draft choice, mispronounced his name Brett Favre, And so

1258
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,720
Speaker 5: nobody really knew who this guy was, even though he

1259
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 5: was a second round draft choice. But he fell out

1260
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:27,280
Speaker 5: of favor with Jerry Glanville. Maybe Brett was parting a

1261
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 5: little bit too much, but he had this rocket arm.

1262
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 5: And when Ron Wolf was with the New York Jets

1263
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:36,520
Speaker 5: as a scout, he wanted to draft Brett Favre. Unfortunately,

1264
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:38,680
Speaker 5: he got sniped by the Atlanta Falcons. He was going

1265
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 5: to draft him for the Jets, but the Falcons beat

1266
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 5: him to it. But he and Jerry Glanville never got

1267
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 5: along a long way of saying that. When Ron Wolf

1268
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 5: went to Bob Harland to ask permission to trade a

1269
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 5: first round draft choice to the Atlanta Falcons.

1270
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:55,280
Speaker 3: Bob said, that's your decision. That's we gave you that power.

1271
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 5: If that's what you feel is the best thing to do,

1272
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 5: that's what you are in to do.

1273
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 3: That was the biggest move that he made.

1274
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the rest obviously his history and legendary at

1275
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 1: that Yeah, I remember that moment. I shouldn't say I

1276
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 1: remember that moment. I remember seeing all kinds of audio

1277
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 1: clips of Tagliobo mispronouncing Brett's name. And then, of course

1278
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:25,719
Speaker 1: I was in the movie theater a few years later

1279
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 1: when Brett Favre showed up something about Mary. Of course,

1280
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:36,040
Speaker 1: but he had established it, had established himself, of course,

1281
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:39,599
Speaker 1: as one of the great great arms in football already

1282
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:42,600
Speaker 1: by that time. And interestingly enough, he ended up with

1283
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:44,719
Speaker 1: the Jets for a for a short period of time,

1284
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:48,760
Speaker 1: just as the next Hall of Famer, upcoming Hall of

1285
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:52,759
Speaker 1: Famer did and Aaron Rodgers. How much was was Harlan

1286
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:56,599
Speaker 1: still pretty actively involved on that front as well.

1287
01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:58,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean when it comes to play a person

1288
01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 5: on Now, Bob Harlan was in charge when Aaron Rodgers

1289
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 5: was drafted, but he also hired Ted Thompson. You mentioned

1290
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 5: that Bob Harlan the only person to hire two general

1291
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 5: managers that won Super Bowls with entirely different rosters. That's

1292
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 5: still an NFL record, and when you think about it,

1293
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:16,640
Speaker 5: it's pretty mind boggling. But one of the things that

1294
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,000
Speaker 5: Bob Harland did again with Ted Thompson, was you make

1295
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 5: the decision and just to get out of the way

1296
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:25,960
Speaker 5: was something that was crucial for the Packers, not only

1297
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:28,519
Speaker 5: winning Super Bowl thirty one, but also winning Super Bowl

1298
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 5: forty five. The other thing about Bob Harlan is, and

1299
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 5: it shouldn't be lost that in the early two thousands,

1300
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 5: lambeau Field had fallen into disrepair and it needed to

1301
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:42,519
Speaker 5: be modernized, and Bob Harlan kept making the case to

1302
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 5: Brown County voters that you know, we can't move, but

1303
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 5: we can be really bad if we don't have the

1304
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 5: finances to compete with other teams in the NFL. That

1305
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 5: are spending more money than we are able to do.

1306
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:56,599
Speaker 5: And he made that case. And this is coming off

1307
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,599
Speaker 5: the heels and you remember the bloody fight that Miller

1308
01:27:58,680 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 5: Park was.

1309
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 3: This has come off the heels of that.

1310
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 5: And Bob Harlan just kept making the case and kept

1311
01:28:04,160 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 5: making the case and kept making the case. And it

1312
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:09,479
Speaker 5: did pass, obviously, but by the slimmest of margins. But

1313
01:28:09,560 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 5: without Bob Harland, it wouldn't have passed, and we wouldn't

1314
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 5: have the Cathedral of Sports that we now have at

1315
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:18,519
Speaker 5: the corner of Lombardi and Oneida.

1316
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:21,639
Speaker 1: I can tell you this, there was a certain former

1317
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:25,320
Speaker 1: Racine senator who is so glad he wasn't in on

1318
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 1: that decision. That's a long time ago. Now it feels

1319
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:34,080
Speaker 1: like a long time ago, all right, So final thought

1320
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 1: for you. We talked about the good times that Bob

1321
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: Harlan brought as president, mainly because he had a good

1322
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 1: deal of trust in the people below him to do

1323
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:49,600
Speaker 1: the job. Is that his ultimate legacy because I know

1324
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 1: he loved Green Bay with all of his heart. Kevin Harland,

1325
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:56,320
Speaker 1: his famous son, has noted that on multiple occasions.

1326
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:56,639
Speaker 3: Sure.

1327
01:28:56,960 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 5: I mean, I think everybody's got a Bob Harlan story,

1328
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 5: My Bob Hartrland story is that when I first got

1329
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:06,599
Speaker 5: hired at WTMJ on the Packers Radio Network in nineteen

1330
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 5: ninety six, I was a nobody. I was just a

1331
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 5: producer that had, you know, kind of worked by I

1332
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:13,599
Speaker 5: was twenty two, twenty three years old.

1333
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:15,879
Speaker 3: I literally I was nobody in this business.

1334
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:20,240
Speaker 5: Bob Harlan wrote me a handwritten letter just congratulating me

1335
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:22,280
Speaker 5: and welcoming me to the Packers Radio Network.

1336
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 3: I was blown away by that. And every time I.

1337
01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:29,160
Speaker 5: Would call Bob Harlan's office, Bob Harlan would pick up

1338
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:29,920
Speaker 5: his own phone.

1339
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 3: Nobody who does that. Bob Harlan did that. Nobody does that?

1340
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. And that's the kind of

1341
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:41,639
Speaker 1: guy that he was. It sums it up right there,

1342
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:46,800
Speaker 1: a guy who was extremely accessible. The reporters I've known

1343
01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:50,479
Speaker 1: over the years, covering the locker room and covering, you know,

1344
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 1: the management side of things, have said that over and

1345
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:56,880
Speaker 1: over again, you could not both he and Ron Wolf

1346
01:29:57,240 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: in many regards, you couldn't meet more accessible managing NFL franchise.

1347
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:08,320
Speaker 1: So he he will be missed, of course, his legacy

1348
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:13,160
Speaker 1: will live on. Bob Harlan passing away at eighty nine. Thanks, dog,

1349
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:13,880
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.

1350
01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, absolutely, Thanks for letting me talk about Bob.

1351
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:17,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1352
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 7: No.

1353
01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 5: And by the way, he never let anybody call him

1354
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,720
Speaker 5: mister Harland either. He was always just called like Bart Starr.

1355
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:25,679
Speaker 5: I tried to call Bart Star mister Starr. No, No,

1356
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:27,680
Speaker 5: it's Bart. Same thing with Bob Harlan. I tried to

1357
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:31,559
Speaker 5: call him mister Harland. No, it's Bob, that's right.

1358
01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 7: You know.

1359
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:35,120
Speaker 1: Mike Holmgren was a lot that way too. He didn't

1360
01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:38,600
Speaker 1: want anybody to call him mister Holmgren except for me.

1361
01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:45,040
Speaker 1: He demanded that call him mister Ah good good times.

1362
01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:47,880
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break. Coming up straight ahead,

1363

1365
01:30:56,560 --> 01:31:00,320
Speaker 1: in UK and the United Kingdom, and it's getting worse

1372
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:30,160
Speaker 1: of things I wanted to note here. How demonic is this?

1373
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 1: First and foremost, the Indiana excuse me an, Indiana court

1374
01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 1: blocks abortion ban on religious grounds. Yeah, get a load

1375
01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 1: of this in Indiana. And Indiana court blocked the state's

1376
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:55,559
Speaker 1: near total abortion ban on Thursday, finding the law ran

1377
01:31:55,640 --> 01:32:01,640
Speaker 1: a foul of religious freedom protections. Yep, that's right. The

1378
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 1: American Civil Liberties Union. You think they're going to be

1379
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,840
Speaker 1: fighting on behalf of the unborn? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

1380
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:15,040
Speaker 1: no no. It's for the ACLU. The unborn have no rights,

1381
01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:19,960
Speaker 1: the SELU claims in the twenty twenty two class action

1382
01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 1: on behalf of anonymous women and the advocacy group Hoo's

1383
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:30,680
Speaker 1: your Jews for Choice. I have all their albums, by

1384
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:36,599
Speaker 1: the way, that the Indiana law violates religious freedoms by

1385
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:41,920
Speaker 1: burdening the ability to obtain an abortion in accordance with

1386
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:51,719
Speaker 1: their sincerely held beliefs, their religious beliefs. In her seventeen

1387
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 1: page ruling, Marion County Judge Christie Christina our Kleinman blocked

1388
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:02,240
Speaker 1: the law from being in forced against the plaintiffs, including

1389
01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:06,960
Speaker 1: any Indiana resident who objects to the ban on religious grounds. Well,

1390
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:13,640
Speaker 1: that kind of takes away the you know, the entire legislation,

1391
01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:20,480
Speaker 1: the entire law. Anybody could say, I object. My religion

1392
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:31,080
Speaker 1: tells me my patron saint, planned parenthood tells me that

1393
01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:35,759
Speaker 1: I should have as many abortions as I possibly can.

1394
01:33:38,400 --> 01:33:44,799
Speaker 1: What faith is this, by the way, that says what church?

1395
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:50,800
Speaker 1: Well we know what church it is. It's the the

1396
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:54,800
Speaker 1: church of the radical left. And this court says, yeah,

1397
01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:58,559
Speaker 1: there's a good idea. Yeah, yeah, I can see where

1398
01:33:58,600 --> 01:34:06,760
Speaker 1: those constitutional partet for the faithful bowing to their god. Abortion.

1399
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:12,720
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. This is what the judge said.

1400
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 1: The court finds that there is significant public interest in

1401
01:34:16,439 --> 01:34:21,400
Speaker 1: ensuring the religious freedom of all citizens, and the state's

1402
01:34:21,439 --> 01:34:26,719
Speaker 1: position that religious freedom is somehow less important than other

1403
01:34:26,800 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 1: exceptions in the abortion law puts the court in an

1404
01:34:30,439 --> 01:34:37,000
Speaker 1: untenable position and finds a permanent injunction. The only proper

1405
01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:46,720
Speaker 1: relief this judge is she's a puritanical libertarian, isn't she.

1406
01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:52,320
Speaker 1: We all know some of those folks. Oh yeah, yeah,

1407
01:34:52,400 --> 01:34:57,599
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. Freedom, freedom for everybody, freedom for everything, you bet,

1408
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:03,800
Speaker 1: butcher and babies. Yeah, abortion up to nine months. You

1409
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 1: bet bring it. That's the same line of thinking here. Previously,

1410
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:14,840
Speaker 1: the Indiana Court of Appeals had ruled that the law

1411
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:21,040
Speaker 1: likely violated Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act, but stopped short

1412
01:35:21,080 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 1: of blocking the abortion ban, which has been upheld in

1413
01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:28,439
Speaker 1: a separate case by the Indiana Supreme Court. So this

1414
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:32,679
Speaker 1: lower judge says, ah, hey, Supreme Court, go pound sand.

1415
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:37,720
Speaker 1: She says this. And here's the thing that you can

1416
01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:42,400
Speaker 1: you can get by reading the ruling and knowing a

1417
01:35:42,400 --> 01:35:46,760
Speaker 1: little bit about the judge, and that is this. She

1418
01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:49,960
Speaker 1: doesn't give a damn about religious freedom. She gives a

1419
01:35:50,080 --> 01:35:54,280
Speaker 1: damn about people having the ability to have abortions on

1420
01:35:54,360 --> 01:36:05,679
Speaker 1: demand of upholding, upholding infanticide. That's what this is all about,

1421
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:15,160
Speaker 1: the right to murder an unborn child. I'd like to

1422
01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:17,200
Speaker 1: I have not. I'd like to take a look at,

1423
01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:22,160
Speaker 1: as I have long said, followed the money. See how

1424
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:26,920
Speaker 1: much the old planned parenthood has dropped into the coffers

1425
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:33,559
Speaker 1: of this judge. Although I can't remember now if they

1426
01:36:33,640 --> 01:36:38,639
Speaker 1: have elections like we do in Wisconsin, number of states

1427
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:44,000
Speaker 1: do not. The Act prohibits the government from substantially burdening

1428
01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:48,760
Speaker 1: an individual's exercise of religion. That's the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

1429
01:36:49,280 --> 01:36:53,840
Speaker 1: Unless the Indiana government has compelling interest and uses the

1430
01:36:53,960 --> 01:36:57,479
Speaker 1: least restrictive means available, that's a good thing. That's a

1431
01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:01,400
Speaker 1: really good thing, because we have seen governments over and

1432
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:04,880
Speaker 1: over again restrict the religious freedoms of all kinds of people,

1433
01:37:05,400 --> 01:37:08,920
Speaker 1: in all kinds of different faiths. But I submit to

1434
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:14,320
Speaker 1: you the Church of Abortion Rights is not a faith.

1435
01:37:16,800 --> 01:37:19,320
Speaker 1: I don't think it is too much to ask there

1436
01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:26,880
Speaker 1: be limitations on nutty and quite frankly evil crap. Now,

1437
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:30,000
Speaker 1: speaking of crap, let's go across the palm. Shall we

1438
01:37:30,439 --> 01:37:36,760
Speaker 1: listen all crap from Great Britain. Oh, let's just say

1439
01:37:37,240 --> 01:37:41,240
Speaker 1: not so great Britain. According to Fox News, a government

1440
01:37:41,360 --> 01:37:47,000
Speaker 1: anti terrorism unit and the United Kingdom has reportedly flagged

1441
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:54,000
Speaker 1: key English literature as potential triggers for right wing extremism.

1442
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:59,000
Speaker 1: That's right, leading one author whose work is on the list,

1443
01:37:59,479 --> 01:38:08,320
Speaker 1: too bad the agency strategy. What constitutes triggers for right

1444
01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:17,040
Speaker 1: wing extremism? Classic authors such as C. S. Lewis, j R. R.

1445
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:21,720
Speaker 1: Tolkien as the Lord of the Rings. You know, you

1446
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 1: know what it is. It's that whole uh Schmiegel. It's

1447
01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:34,080
Speaker 1: the Schmigel Thing, George Orwell, Joseph Conrad, Aldous Huxley all

1448
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:39,080
Speaker 1: included on the list of potentially problematic text compiled by

1449
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:47,559
Speaker 1: Prevents Research, Information and Communications Unit. That's the anti terrorism wing,

1450
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:57,000
Speaker 1: according to The Spectator. Other authors whose work is allegedly

1451
01:38:57,080 --> 01:39:04,120
Speaker 1: shared by people sympathetic with the far right and Brexis Brexit,

1452
01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:09,640
Speaker 1: I had a little Brexit for breakfast also reportedly include

1453
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:16,960
Speaker 1: Thomas Hobbs, John Locke, Edmund Burke, Thomas Carlyle, Adam Smith.

1454
01:39:17,040 --> 01:39:23,360
Speaker 1: Some of the great thinkers of Western civilization are triggering,

1455
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:31,519
Speaker 1: triggering right wing extremism. Oh yeah, you know, Adam Smith.

1456
01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:39,000
Speaker 1: The invisible hand, That invisible hand could strap on a

1457
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:46,640
Speaker 1: body bomb something. William Shakespeare is on this list. William Shakespeare,

1458
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:50,720
Speaker 1: how many? Well, I think it's a fair question to

1459
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:57,640
Speaker 1: ask how many of your how many of your terrorists

1460
01:39:58,600 --> 01:40:03,320
Speaker 1: in your terror cells across the country are flipping through

1461
01:40:03,360 --> 01:40:07,040
Speaker 1: the pages of Midsummer Night's.

1462
01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:08,519
Speaker 2: Dream or.

1463
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:19,120
Speaker 1: Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet. In twenty eleven, the UK introduced

1464
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:24,160
Speaker 1: the prevent Duty as a component of its broader counter

1465
01:40:24,520 --> 01:40:28,400
Speaker 1: terrorism approach, or what many of the Brits like to

1466
01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 1: call their book banning society. It is known as contest.

1467
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:42,240
Speaker 1: Its primary objective is to employ preventative measures to decrease

1468
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:46,559
Speaker 1: the risk of terrorist threats, which encompasses the prevention of

1469
01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 1: individuals from being enticed into terrorist activities. According to its guidance,

1470
01:40:56,560 --> 01:41:02,880
Speaker 1: apparently going to Little Earth will get you into the

1471
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:07,360
Speaker 1: terrorist club, or there are concerns that you'll become an

1472
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:11,200
Speaker 1: international terrorist by reading The Lord of the rings. Ulster

1473
01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:16,120
Speaker 1: Unionist Party counselor John Kyle blasted the list. According to

1474
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 1: Northern Irish Outlet newsletter, I know what communist and ttalitarian

1475
01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:27,680
Speaker 1: regimes have viewed Christianity as dangerously subversive. But when the

1476
01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:35,120
Speaker 1: British government labels C. S. Lewis's Narnia books a terrorist threat,

1477
01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:42,599
Speaker 1: its counter terrorism unit has lost touch with reality. It has,

1478
01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:45,759
Speaker 1: I agree, but it has been taken over co opted

1479
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:54,440
Speaker 1: by Marxist thinkers who have also, by the way, curiously strangely,

1480
01:41:55,240 --> 01:42:03,040
Speaker 1: decided to turn over the keys of their local and

1481
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 1: state governments to a lot of people who preached terrorism.

1482
01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:19,080
Speaker 1: They have also made it a lot easier for people

1483
01:42:19,120 --> 01:42:26,400
Speaker 1: to be knifed by actual terrorists in their streets. But

1484
01:42:28,080 --> 01:42:34,600
Speaker 1: Narnia teaching Christian principles that's a bridge too far for

1485
01:42:34,680 --> 01:42:39,639
Speaker 1: these dopes. Author Douglas Murray, who first reported on the list,

1486
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:44,000
Speaker 1: echoed Kyle, noting that his own twenty seventeen book, The

1487
01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:48,519
Speaker 1: Strange Death of Europe, was also flagged. He told Fox

1488
01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:51,519
Speaker 1: News Digital that the list quote is a sign that

1489
01:42:51,560 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 1: the people advising the government have completely lost their way,

1490
01:42:58,320 --> 01:43:01,880
Speaker 1: and I would quickly add their mind. This is quite

1491
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:04,760
Speaker 1: typical that you set something up in government to deal

1492
01:43:04,840 --> 01:43:09,599
Speaker 1: with one issue and it ends up spreading its remit

1493
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 1: until it's remit is so broad that it includes the

1494
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:17,720
Speaker 1: mainstream text of the culture, said Murray. It's one of

1495
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:20,240
Speaker 1: those sentences you actually have to read in an English

1496
01:43:20,280 --> 01:43:25,559
Speaker 1: accent that he uses at least around at least around

1497
01:43:25,600 --> 01:43:28,080
Speaker 1: my neighborhood. I don't hear a lot of spreading. It's remit,

1498
01:43:28,720 --> 01:43:34,240
Speaker 1: spreading it's remit. Murray noted Prevent was first established to

1499
01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:39,000
Speaker 1: combat Islamic extremism, but has since shifted its focus. Yes, again,

1500
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:47,240
Speaker 1: you have Islamic extremism bleeding in the streets of London.

1501
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:53,600
Speaker 1: You have people being stabbed and murdered by Islamic extremist

1502
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:58,360
Speaker 1: and to make this sound fair, you're going to have

1503
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:05,440
Speaker 1: to put on the list of potentially terrorism driving literature,

1504
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 1: the classics of all time. Yes, the Left and its

1505
01:44:14,040 --> 01:44:19,400
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger government bureaucrats have absolutely lost their minds,

1506
01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:25,879
Speaker 1: coming up more more losing of minds. Queering the map.

1507
01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:30,480
Speaker 1: It's an actual term, and it was an actual activity

1508
01:44:30,560 --> 01:44:34,280
Speaker 1: during the Biden years. More on that straight ahead here

1509
01:44:34,320 --> 01:44:37,280
Speaker 1: on the Friday edition of the Dan o'donnald Show with

1510
01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:40,600
Speaker 1: yours truly, Matt Kittle, stay with us. Oh won't you

1511
01:44:40,680 --> 01:44:46,559
Speaker 1: take me to funky town? It's Friday Friday night. Oh yeah,

1512
01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:49,759
Speaker 1: that's a funky business going on tonight. I bet around

1513
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:54,360
Speaker 1: uh Milwaukee, Madison, the entire badge estate, everyone is gonna

1514
01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:59,000
Speaker 1: get down, cut loose, you know. Or maybe you'll be

1515
01:44:59,160 --> 01:45:05,680
Speaker 1: like me and roll up into a sleep coma and

1516
01:45:06,479 --> 01:45:12,880
Speaker 1: wake up at some very distant time with your beard

1517
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 1: grown out like Rip Van Winkle. Yes, that's how I'm

1518
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:21,040
Speaker 1: spending my weekend. Just a few things want to get

1519
01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:26,040
Speaker 1: to before we get on out today. The first thing is,

1520
01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:32,839
Speaker 1: you know, I like the fact that we have maps,

1521
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:37,800
Speaker 1: location devices. Electronically we can go wherever you want to

1522
01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:43,240
Speaker 1: and I rarely, although at times still I rarely get lost,

1523
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 1: you know, with the old GPS, that the trackers, the

1524
01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:50,760
Speaker 1: smartphones right at our hands. We can drive here to there.

1525
01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:55,520
Speaker 1: We don't need to worry about those big old maps, right,

1526
01:45:55,640 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 1: the ones that you always took out. Dad used to

1527
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:02,240
Speaker 1: take out big things. And then he tell you, can

1528
01:46:02,280 --> 01:46:05,120
Speaker 1: you frold this map up for me? Because he was

1529
01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:07,080
Speaker 1: behind the wheel of the car and he said, yeah, yeah, Dad,

1530
01:46:07,240 --> 01:46:09,120
Speaker 1: good And then all of a sudden it ends with

1531
01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 1: him screaming at you because you're an idiot and can't

1532
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:15,160
Speaker 1: roll the map up right. It's always fun as a

1533
01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:18,080
Speaker 1: kid to sit in the back seat if you if

1534
01:46:18,080 --> 01:46:20,760
Speaker 1: you did roll the map up right, you finally learn

1535
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:23,720
Speaker 1: that that trade. Then the old man would give you

1536
01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 1: his trust and he'd lets you take the map out

1537
01:46:28,160 --> 01:46:30,439
Speaker 1: and look at it, and you know, oh, we're going

1538
01:46:30,520 --> 01:46:33,200
Speaker 1: here and look at this lake and this is oh,

1539
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:36,880
Speaker 1: this is wonderful, this is interesting. What's life like an Arkansas?

1540
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:40,720
Speaker 1: You would think as you were heading up north to

1541
01:46:40,760 --> 01:46:48,840
Speaker 1: the lake. But never ever did I see on those old,

1542
01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:58,120
Speaker 1: old timy maps, uh, anything remotely close to a queer map.

1543
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:02,639
Speaker 1: I kid you not. This is a term that government

1544
01:47:02,680 --> 01:47:10,280
Speaker 1: officials have used and acted upon State Department at a

1545
01:47:10,320 --> 01:47:17,720
Speaker 1: hearing congressional hearing earlier this week apologizes to Slovakia. They

1546
01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:23,519
Speaker 1: have to apologize to an entire country for Biden era

1547
01:47:23,720 --> 01:47:32,280
Speaker 1: program queering the map. The chairman of the committee that

1548
01:47:32,400 --> 01:47:36,719
Speaker 1: took a look at this whole issue on Biden's State

1549
01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:41,960
Speaker 1: Department spending is a representative from Florida. In fact, I

1550
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:44,479
Speaker 1: think we might have referenced him earlier in the show

1551
01:47:44,760 --> 01:47:49,440
Speaker 1: if you're keeping score. Representative Brian mass a Republican from Florida,

1552
01:47:50,120 --> 01:47:54,040
Speaker 1: and you can tell the frustration in his voice by

1553
01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:58,200
Speaker 1: this state department official who said this, I kid you not.

1554
01:47:58,720 --> 01:48:02,040
Speaker 1: During the hearing, I think we were trying to make

1555
01:48:02,120 --> 01:48:06,760
Speaker 1: the maps more gay. Listen in to this exchange.

1556
01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:10,879
Speaker 12: It's very literally, very helpful, because as you witnessed yourself,

1557
01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:15,600
Speaker 12: we have we will have members literally say, nah, Republicans

1558
01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:18,519
Speaker 12: just made that up that didn't exist. You shouldn't be

1559
01:48:18,840 --> 01:48:22,439
Speaker 12: sidelining funding from these agencies. They weren't really doing these things,

1560
01:48:23,240 --> 01:48:25,639
Speaker 12: and their hand is in the cookie jar and they

1561
01:48:25,720 --> 01:48:27,680
Speaker 12: won't believe it. They probably won't even believe it if

1562
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:30,479
Speaker 12: you submit the records. But I would prefer you submit

1563
01:48:30,520 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 12: the record. Can you tell me what is queering the map?

1564
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:36,679
Speaker 3: So I think we were trying to make the maps

1565
01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:40,639
Speaker 3: more gay. Literally, well, how do you make a map

1566
01:48:40,640 --> 01:48:42,479
Speaker 3: for especially at all?

1567
01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:45,320
Speaker 8: You know, since the age of carps.

1568
01:48:45,400 --> 01:48:46,639
Speaker 3: But maybe they weren't gay enough.

1569
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:52,400
Speaker 1: I love I love masks exchange here. I love his question,

1570
01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:58,080
Speaker 1: how do you make the maps more gay or gay

1571
01:48:58,120 --> 01:49:07,599
Speaker 1: at all? How did maps become gay? Well? Quite frankly,

1572
01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:15,160
Speaker 1: we've seen a few maps of Lithuania that are quite bisexual.

1573
01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:17,920
Speaker 11: I roll it, so I know.

1574
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 3: Also, I took critical theory in college. I think sometimes

1575
01:49:20,120 --> 01:49:21,320
Speaker 3: people use queer as a verb.

1576
01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:24,479
Speaker 12: I do understand that the maps that we were trying

1577
01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:27,880
Speaker 12: to make gay were I think of Czechia and Slovakia.

1578
01:49:27,960 --> 01:49:32,040
Speaker 1: So maybe that's it right there. First and foremost, this

1579
01:49:32,200 --> 01:49:35,120
Speaker 1: is an official working in the state department who took

1580
01:49:35,240 --> 01:49:40,320
Speaker 1: critical theory in college, so she has a grasp of

1581
01:49:40,360 --> 01:49:46,240
Speaker 1: what queering the map means. She should be immediately relieved

1582
01:49:46,280 --> 01:49:47,080
Speaker 1: of her duties.

1583
01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:49,880
Speaker 3: By the way those countries asked for it.

1584
01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 11: I doubt it, but I don't know.

1585
01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:53,639
Speaker 12: We do have real things to work on in Congress,

1586
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:56,280
Speaker 12: like what's going on with the imminent threat of Iran,

1587
01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:58,960
Speaker 12: and it is embarrassing that we have to talk about

1588
01:49:59,040 --> 01:50:02,160
Speaker 12: the fact that things like this were funded, non binary

1589
01:50:02,320 --> 01:50:07,679
Speaker 12: and trans Francophones, linguistic attitudes and ideologies towards inclusive French

1590
01:50:08,040 --> 01:50:10,160
Speaker 12: in Montreal, Canada. These things, I'm going to give you

1591
01:50:10,240 --> 01:50:11,360
Speaker 12: a list. My time is expired.

1592
01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:12,559
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a list.

1593
01:50:12,600 --> 01:50:15,000
Speaker 3: Of these and any of these that.

1594
01:50:15,080 --> 01:50:20,200
Speaker 12: You can provide me the receipt for the Facebook link

1595
01:50:20,360 --> 01:50:23,640
Speaker 12: to where they wanted to take photos of how they

1596
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:27,880
Speaker 12: were doing a Deia flash mob in Kreigastan. You know,

1597
01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:31,080
Speaker 12: whatever documentation they have of all of these things, we

1598
01:50:31,160 --> 01:50:34,080
Speaker 12: would love to see that and would absolutely love to

1599
01:50:34,080 --> 01:50:38,040
Speaker 12: know the individuals specifically that we're busy writing these grants

1600
01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:41,519
Speaker 12: because they have no business receiving another paycheck from the

1601
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:44,439
Speaker 12: people of the United States of America. In that I

1602
01:50:44,479 --> 01:50:47,640
Speaker 12: will recognize Representative Schneider.

1603
01:50:48,120 --> 01:50:52,640
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. A little common sense, man. It just

1604
01:50:52,680 --> 01:50:58,240
Speaker 1: reminds you of how much this administration has to clean up.

1605
01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:03,440
Speaker 1: Certain it's a race against the clock because in politics,

1606
01:51:03,479 --> 01:51:07,479
Speaker 1: you know, things are very subject to change and are

1607
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:09,840
Speaker 1: more than likely to change with the political whims in

1608
01:51:09,880 --> 01:51:16,640
Speaker 1: America today. Again I point out hasten to point out

1609
01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:20,959
Speaker 1: that if you do not want more queering of maps,

1610
01:51:22,040 --> 01:51:27,440
Speaker 1: if you don't want to pay for inclusive flash mobs

1611
01:51:27,439 --> 01:51:35,600
Speaker 1: in Kazurkistan. If you don't want trans plays and poetry

1612
01:51:36,439 --> 01:51:43,480
Speaker 1: in Libya. Quite frankly, I don't knowing where the Libyans

1613
01:51:43,560 --> 01:51:45,519
Speaker 1: have stood on these things. I don't think they want

1614
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:48,120
Speaker 1: that either. Anyway, If you don't want any of these

1615
01:51:50,479 --> 01:51:57,400
Speaker 1: crazy programs that have taken in just insane amounts of money,

1616
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:02,080
Speaker 1: then you know how you got to vote coming up

1617
01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:04,720
Speaker 1: in November, and the fact that you do have to

1618
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:09,559
Speaker 1: vote because this insanity is being checked right now. But look,

1619
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:16,439
Speaker 1: we're in early March of twenty twenty six. We're a

1620
01:52:16,479 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 1: full year plus into an administration that has done very

1621
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:27,400
Speaker 1: well in checking this, shutting this DEI stuff down, shutting concepts,

1622
01:52:27,439 --> 01:52:31,160
Speaker 1: trying to shut down these kinds of insane concepts and

1623
01:52:31,280 --> 01:52:37,080
Speaker 1: ideas that we have to fund. But it's just now

1624
01:52:37,080 --> 01:52:40,080
Speaker 1: that they're getting to this particular section and god knows

1625
01:52:40,120 --> 01:52:44,599
Speaker 1: how many more insane things that they have to deal

1626
01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:49,000
Speaker 1: with and dig up. And as Congressman Chairman Mass said,

1627
01:52:49,479 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 1: We've got a lot bigger fish to fry right now.

1628
01:52:53,800 --> 01:52:59,240
Speaker 1: And I'm sure I can hear the liberals out there saying, yeah,

1629
01:52:59,240 --> 01:53:01,200
Speaker 1: we got bigger fish to fry. Why would they worry

1630
01:53:01,240 --> 01:53:05,599
Speaker 1: about these maps, queering the maps? Why should they have

1631
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:08,000
Speaker 1: to worry about that? Why was that a thing to

1632
01:53:08,080 --> 01:53:14,960
Speaker 1: begin with? Why? And until they shut all of this

1633
01:53:15,080 --> 01:53:20,120
Speaker 1: stuff down, some of this, I'm afraid, way too much

1634
01:53:20,160 --> 01:53:23,240
Speaker 1: of it is still being the tab is still being

1635
01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:27,040
Speaker 1: picked up by you and me. I don't want to

1636
01:53:27,120 --> 01:53:34,600
Speaker 1: pay for a more gay map of Czechloslovakia or the

1637
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:39,799
Speaker 1: Czech Republic or whatever thing that not the Cheche, the Czecha,

1638
01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:44,040
Speaker 1: whatever that they're calling their country now. I don't want

1639
01:53:44,040 --> 01:53:51,120
Speaker 1: a gay map of Slovakia again. Maps do not have

1640
01:53:51,160 --> 01:53:59,719
Speaker 1: a do not have a gender, they don't have a sex,

1641
01:54:00,560 --> 01:54:08,240
Speaker 1: they don't have sexual proclivities, they don't have sex. They're

1642
01:54:08,320 --> 01:54:16,080
Speaker 1: designed to d mark, demarcate where a country begins and

1643
01:54:16,120 --> 01:54:20,639
Speaker 1: where a country ends. And that leads us to why

1644
01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:23,960
Speaker 1: all of this stupid stuff is happening in the first place,

1645
01:54:25,040 --> 01:54:30,759
Speaker 1: Because more than queering the maps, the radical left wants

1646
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:37,240
Speaker 1: to end the borders around those countries. We have seen that,

1647
01:54:37,600 --> 01:54:42,040
Speaker 1: of course in our own country, and as we should

1648
01:54:42,040 --> 01:54:46,920
Speaker 1: know by now, without a border, without a closed border,

1649
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:51,240
Speaker 1: you don't have a country. You have a place where

1650
01:54:51,600 --> 01:54:58,520
Speaker 1: people show up expecting stuff from your taxpayers. And I

1651
01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:04,320
Speaker 1: don't want any more of this coming out of paying

1652
01:55:04,440 --> 01:55:07,280
Speaker 1: for the money that is coming out of my paycheck,

1653
01:55:07,320 --> 01:55:12,920
Speaker 1: which is way too much already. Well, on that note,

1654
01:55:13,080 --> 01:55:15,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to get on out of here, get

1655
01:55:15,800 --> 01:55:19,560
Speaker 1: our weekend on. As I like to say, I hope

1656
01:55:19,600 --> 01:55:24,160
Speaker 1: you have a fantastic weekend. Live it up, enjoy it

1657
01:55:24,240 --> 01:55:27,880
Speaker 1: because you know Monday is here before you know it.

1658
01:55:29,680 --> 01:55:33,240
Speaker 1: And so until we talk again, this is your old

1659
01:55:33,400 --> 01:55:37,400
Speaker 1: radiomego Matt Kittle saying, make it a great weekend. Goodbye,

1660
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:39,560
Speaker 1: so long, God bless
