1
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful afternoon as we start another busy broadcast week.

2
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: But we have got some bad news about the Wisconsin

3
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Supreme Court race. No, not the one that's coming up

4
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: in less than a month next year. Is huge political

5
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: news rocking the state of Wisconsin. Without any further ado,

6
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: let's get right to it. Top stories we are following

7
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: right now here on the Dan O'Donnell Show, Wisconsin Supreme

8
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Court Justice Annette Ziegler announces this morning she's going to

9
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: retire at the end of her term in twenty twenty seven.

10
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: That creates yet another vacancy on the court and another

11
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: open seat Conservatives will have to defend. We'll get into

12
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: what that means for next month Supreme Court election and

13
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: for the court moving forward in just a second. Then

14
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: at three point thirty five, it's a big Dan O'Donnell's show,

15
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: exclusive allegations of a huge conflict of interest and potential

16
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: self dealing royal the mayoral race in Brookfield is a

17
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: Liberal candidate trying to get low income housing in the

18
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: community to benefit a nonprofit who's bored. He sits on

19
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: the details in about a half hour. Meanwhile, Secretary of

20
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: State Marco Rubio is providing an update on the situation

21
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: in Iran.

22
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: I want everyone to know your military is getting the

23
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: job done, and every single day, this regime in Iran

24
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: has less missiles, has less launchers, their factories work less,

25
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: and their navy is being eviscerated. And the world is

26
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: going to be a safer and a better place when

27
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: this mission is accomplished.

28
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: As always, the daily Trump date comes up at four o'clock,

29
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: we will discuss the latest. President Trump is expected to

30
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: hold a news conference at about four to thirty Central time.

31
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: We will dip into that and probably take extended segments

32
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: from it. Meanwhile, a Wisconsin senator is again crying about

33
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: all of this being unconstitutional. I think you can probably

34
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: guess which senator that story. Coming up at about four

35
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: twenty five plus Democrats said for the duration of Joe

36
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: Biden's tournament office that presidents don't control gas prices. Now

37
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: suddenly they do. Why gas prices are seeing a temporary

38
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: spike because of the war, but nothing like what we

39
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: saw for four straight years of fiscal mismanagement under the

40
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: Biden administration. That coming up right before the Trump press

41
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: conference at about four thirty and a couple of big

42
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: roster moves for the Green Bay Packers. They trade Rashaan

43
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: Gary to the Dallas Cowboys. Is it official now? I mean,

44
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: is the Instagram post up? Is it down? We'll get

45
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: into that. Plus Malik Willis, they lose him to free agency.

46
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: He signs with the Miami Dolphins, who earlier today cut

47
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: starter Tua Tagovaloa. We will get into that in the

48
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: five o'clock hour. If you would like to join The

65
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: All right. The big story, probably the biggest news in

66
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: Wisconsin politics since the last high profile conservative retirement of

67
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: Robin Voss a couple of weeks ago. This morning, former

68
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: Chief Justice Annette Ziegler's stalwart conservative on the Wisconsin Supreme Court,

69
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: issues a statement saying she is not going to stand

70
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: for reelection in twenty twenty seven. She says, after three

71
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: decades on the bench, now is the right time for

72
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: me to step away to spend more time with my husband,

73
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: kids and grandkids. I am incredibly proud that in all

74
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: my elections I had support from a broad spectrum of legal, civic,

75
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: law enforcement, and political leaders, both Democrats and Republicans, who

76
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: believed in my commitment to fairness, ethics, and the rule

77
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: of law. Ziegler was first elected to the Court in

78
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. She defeated a Madison based attorney

79
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: by the name of Linda Clifford in an absolute she

80
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: lacking fifty nine percent to forty one, and that was

81
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: a very high profile, very high spending race to succeed

82
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: the retiring John Wilcox. She was actually elected again in

83
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven against do you remember who she ran

84
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: against ten years ago? That's actually a trick question. She

85
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: ran unopposed. Liberals could not get there, you know what,

86
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 1: together enough to actually feel the candidate to take on

87
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: a net Ziegler. She was that powerful of a presence

88
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: on the court, and quite frankly, Democrats and their liberal

89
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: candidates were on a massive losing streak. I went back

90
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: and looked at the last ten state Supreme Court elections

91
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: and prior to this decade in which Conservatives have won

92
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: precisely nothing. The last election that Conservatives have won I

93
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: consider something of a faric victory. I'll call it a

94
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: half win, as Brian Hagadorn, the alleged Conservative, very narrow

95
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: won his election by half a point. But if you

96
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: go back to the preceding decade, Conservatives won nearly everything.

97
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: They won five of eight races from two thousand and

98
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: eight to twenty nineteen by an average of about two

99
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: point one points, with of course that one in twenty

100
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: seventeen being unopposed. But as the Walker coalition aged and

101
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: quite frankly moved out of the state became snowbirds, but

102
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: actually moved down to Florida and became Florida residents. It

103
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: has become much much more difficult. I have written and

104
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: talked about this extensively, and I firmly believe that for

105
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: all the hand ringing and all the gnashing of teeth

106
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: about the liberal overspending in Supreme Court races, yes, the

107
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: single biggest donor to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin is

108
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: in fact Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, who apparently

109
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: loved having sleepovers with Jeffrey Epstein on his private island

110
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: as well as on his ranch in New Mexico. That

111
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: New Mexico ranch that nobody even knew Epstein had, well,

112
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: Reid Hoffman did. And so far the Wisconsin Democratic Party has,

113
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: of course refused to give back any of the fifteen

114
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: million dollars that they've taken from epstein sleepover buddy Reid Hoffman.

115
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: But in spite of all of that spending, and George

116
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: Soros and the Governor of Illinois JB. Pritzker are two

117
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: of the other biggest donors, and Democrats have overspent, They

118
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: have outspent Republicans, they have outspent Conservatives by a significant

119
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: amount over the last decade. In spite of that, I

120
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: truly do believe that the biggest thing that conservatives face

121
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: is that demographic shift. The Scott Walker coalition that was

122
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: so powerful, especially in the so called Wow counties at

123
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: waukeshaw Ozaki and Washington throughout Governor Walker's three elections in

124
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: twenty ten, twenty twelve, and twenty fourteen all but disappeared.

125
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: You also had the great liberalizing of the suburban soccer

126
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 1: mom which led to and the age of Donald Trump,

127
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: a far different electorate that Republicans needed to turn out.

128
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: We will get into all of these broad demographic shifts

129
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,239
Speaker 1: and what they mean moving forward, especially as it pertains

130
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: to the upcoming state Supreme Court election, which has flown

131
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: so far under the radar that I think the vast

132
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: majority of people in this state don't even know that

133
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: there is a Supreme Court election coming up on April seventh.

134
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: It's not for control of the court. It is, however,

135
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: to potentially forestall a Democrat takeover that could plunge this

136
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: state into unconstitutional governance for at least the next generation.

137
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: I mean, folks, I don't want to paint too gloomy

138
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: a picture here on a bright, sunny, gorgeous spring afternoon.

139
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: But let's not kid ourselves about why ant Ziegler retired.

140
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: She's not stupid. Yes, she wants to spend more time

141
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: with the grandkids. Everybody wants to spend more time with family.

142
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: But she stepped down for the exact same reason that

143
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: Rebecca Bradley, another incredible conservative did earlier this year. She

144
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: saw the last three state Supreme Court races, and even

145
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: in one where Democrats weren't actually outspending Republicans by all

146
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: that much, the results have been remarkably consistent. In the

147
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: last three state Supreme Court elections, the liberal candidate has

148
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: won by an average of ten point six five percent.

149
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: Last year, Susan Crawford in easily the highest spending Supreme

150
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: Court election or any judicial election in the history of

151
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: this country, for control of the Supreme Court for the

152
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: second time in three years. She handily beat Brad Shimmel,

153
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: who ran a very good campaign. And remember he was

154
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: backed by Elon Musk and Musk's America Pack. Well, this

155
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: was right around the same time that Musk had launched

156
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: Doge the Trump administration was just getting going, and Musk

157
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: was in the news pretty much every day for what

158
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: was going on with Doge. Liberals invented some insanity about

159
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: him doing the sig Hail Hitler salute at the inauguration

160
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: and freaked out about that, and Democrats smartly ran the

161
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: election not against Brad Shimmel, who everybody pretty much likes

162
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: and is now US Attorney for the Eastern District of

163
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: Wisconsin at least for the next couple of days. If

164
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: Tammy Baldwin has anything to say about that, he will

165
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: not be even though he's probably the most eminently qualified

166
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: human being to ever sit in that seat. But that's

167
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: a different topic for a different day. Shimmel ran a

168
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: great campaign. He ran a fantastic campaign, so Liberals didn't

169
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: even try to run against him. Instead, they ran against

170
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: Elon Musk. The result was the same. Crawford won by

171
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: ten in a race where Elon and Trump really didn't

172
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: have a whole lot to do with it. In twenty

173
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: twenty three, the first time in a long time, in

174
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: fifteen years, that control ideologically of the Wisconsin Supreme Court

175
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: was up for grabs. Janet Proto Sawitz absolutely blew the

176
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: doors off of the vote, and she destroyed Dan Kelly

177
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: by eleven points. Now, Kelly's central argument in twenty twenty

178
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: three for being the Conservative nominee was that when he

179
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: ran in twenty twenty it was the COVID election. There

180
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: was just no chance that anything was going to be

181
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: normal in that race. And of course he lost by

182
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: ten to new Chief Supreme Court Justice Jill Kerowski. No surprise,

183
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: he lost by ten. It was the COVID election. It

184
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: was the COVID election. He needed to do over well.

185
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: He ran again in twenty twenty three and lost by

186
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: a bigger margin. Take out the very narrow Brian Hagadorn

187
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: win in twenty nineteen. Again, I'll consider that ahead victory

188
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,359
Speaker 1: since Hagadorn has voted on critical cases with the Liberals

189
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: more often than he's voted with the Conservatives on these

190
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: highest of high profile cases. You also put in there.

191
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, Rebecca Dallitt won her election by eleven

192
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: point five percent. Liberals have won the last three elections

193
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: and four of the last five by an average of

194
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: ten point sixty five points. Let me say that again

195
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: in a state that is typically very purple, and it

196
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: proved itself to be again in the last presidential race,

197
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: where President Trump won a very narrow margin. Four years earlier,

198
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: Joe Biden won a very narrow margin. Four years before that,

199
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: President Trump won a very narrow margin. We flip flop

200
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: back and forth. But in spring elections, liberals have utterly

201
00:12:53,320 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: taken control. There's no surprise therefore, that either Becca Bradley

202
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: or Annette Ziegler decided to get out of this race.

203
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: It's almost as though they knew what was going to happen.

204
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: They read ahead to the end of the book, they

205
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: looked up the spoilers online. Again. I don't want to

206
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: be accused of being a doomer here, but what does

207
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: it say about the race that's coming up in what

208
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: twenty eight days, when already you've got another conservative Supreme

209
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: Court justice saying, look, I can read the tea leaves,

210
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: I know what's going to happen. I'm out, I ain't

211
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: doing this. The timing today was absolutely abysmal. Ziegler couldn't

212
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: have waited another month. Really, you couldn't have given us

213
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: another thirty one days. I think a lot of people

214
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: in political circles believe that Maria Lazar, who Frankly, I

215
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: have had some very serious issues with the way that

216
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: this campaign has been run. But she is a very

217
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: very good judge. She is a Court of Appeals judge

218
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: and a very very good one. She's a very kind person.

219
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: She is a very decent person that apparently is not

220
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: what voters want. They want hard edged politicos Chrissy Taylor,

221
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: her opponent in this race, is making no bones about

222
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: the fact that she is a partisan liberal. Janet Protess

223
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: Seywitz violated every standard of the Code of Judicial Conducts

224
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: by saying exactly how she was going to rule on

225
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: pretty much every case that was going to come before

226
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Heck Susan Crawford last year. This

227
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: is a story that we first broke here on the

228
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell show. Technically it was The New York Times,

229
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: but didn't realize the significance of it. We sort of

230
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: brought attention to the fact that Susan Crawford was so

231
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: in the bag for partisan Democrat interests that she actually

232
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: attended a tele meeting with prominent Democrat owners and the

233
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: title of it was quote chance to put two more

234
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: Democrat seats in play in the midterms. The implication was

235
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: very clear. You put Susan Crawford on the court, she

236
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: is going to vote to jerry mander the map. She's

237
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: going to strike down the congressional map, and she is

238
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: going to vote to put into place a map in

239
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: which Brian's style and especially Derek van Worden have no

240
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: prayer of winning. And lo and behold, that's exactly what's

241
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: going on right now. Did you notice, by the way,

242
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: Governor Evers last week called for a special session of

243
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: the legislator sign an executive order for a special session

244
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: of the legislature. He wants to implement a nonpartisan map

245
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: drawing redistricting Commission. Democrats actually said, yeah, no thanks. Senate

246
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: Minority Leader Diane Hesselbinyen, Yeah, I'd have to see the proposal.

247
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: It's because they know they have got a court that

248
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: is going to do the jerry mandering for them. They

249
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about that.

250
00:15:59,160 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: Now.

251
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: A lot of people think that this is faye to complete.

252
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: Why even run the election. We know Chrissy Taylor is

253
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: going to win. Marquette University Law School pool did show

254
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: that that's not necessarily the case. Taylor was only winning

255
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: by five amongst those who are registered to vote, seven

256
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: by those who say they are absolutely certain to vote,

257
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: and folks, Ultimately, the decision rests with voters. Ultimately, it

258
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: is going to be about turnout, and ultimately it is

259
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: going to be about you saying we are not going

260
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: to just sit back, roll over and allow liberals to

261
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: have a seven nothing majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court,

262
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: because if we do nothing, that's exactly what's going to happen.

263
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: But there are demographic shifts and very significant ones that

264
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: present some pretty significant head wins. We will get into

265
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: that when The Dan O'Donnell Show returns.

266
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 3: Classical Conservatives, contemporary style.

267
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: The Dan o'donald Show is coming right back conservative thoughts,

268
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: not just talk. It is the Dan o'donald Show. Welcome

269
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: back to it. It's no secret that conservatives have struggled

270
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: in the last decade in winning off year and especially

271
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: off year spring elections. When I say off yere, i'm

272
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: also including midterm elections. We have our gubernatorial cycle in

273
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: the midterm cycle as well, So when we don't have

274
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: a presidential race in this state, we have a gubernatorial race,

275
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: and Republicans have struggled mightily. The fact that we lost

276
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: twice to Tony Evers should tell you pretty much everything

277
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: you need to know. But it's in the state Supreme

278
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: Court races that this has been a particularly stark decline.

279
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: Conservatives had a strong majority on the State Supreme Court

280
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: for a decade and a half. When Scott Walker's coalition

281
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: was just dominating pretty much every election. We could not

282
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: win presidential elections because essentially Democrats had what are known

283
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: as low propensity voters. The way you vote, or the

284
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: way you measure a voter is by how often they

285
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: vote in statewide elections, so in midterms or in presidential elections,

286
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: and you give them a rating how many elections did

287
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: they take part in in the last four one, two, three,

288
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: or four. Republicans won by winning and just dominating amongst

289
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: high propensity voters, those who voted in three of the

290
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: last four or all four of the last four elections.

291
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: Democrats had to scrape by with coalitions of people who

292
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: really only voted in presidential elections. Well that's pretty much flipped,

293
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: and Republicans now have the voters who are only showing

294
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: up in one and two of the last four elections.

295
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: Democrats have cobbled together a coalition that votes everywhere, especially

296
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: in Dane County. Dane County since twenty twenty has grown

297
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: by thirteen thousand people and is projected to grow by

298
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: almost forty percent over the next quarter century. Now big

299
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: reason for this is epics systems government expansion under Tony

300
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: Evers I maintain the rise of telework. People are graduating

301
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: from UW Madison. They no longer need to move across

302
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: the country to go work for Google. They can live

303
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: in the exact same apartment they lived in in college

304
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: and still go to work. So people are choosing to

305
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: stay there. And I'll give credit where credit is due.

306
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Madison is a fantastic city, is a gorgeous city. The

307
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: isthmus is just fantastic. Spent three years there in law

308
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: law school and loved every second of it. It's just

309
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: too bad the people in charge in Dane County are idiots.

310
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: And it's not just the fact that Dane County is growing.

311
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: Dane County turnout has gotten to superhuman levels in twenty eleven.

312
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: David Prosser, legendary conservative, just passed away a short time ago.

313
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: One reelection, he faced a stiff challenge by a liberal

314
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: named Joanne Kloppenberg. In twenty eleven in Dane County, Kloppenberg

315
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 1: won seventy three percent of the vote. She won by

316
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: a total of eighty five thousand votes. Okay, she won

317
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: seventy three percent of all votes. She won by a

318
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: total margin of eighty five thousand votes.

319
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 3: Got it.

320
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: Last year, Susan Crawford won eighty one percent of the

321
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: Dane County vote. And get this, she won by one

322
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty one thousand, seven hundred and fifty one votes,

323
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: nearly one hundred thousand more votes. Republicans and Conservatives aren't

324
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: able to match that turnout In Waukeshaw and Ozaki. Turnout

325
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: there has declined noticeably for Republicans. They used to get

326
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: seventy seventy five percent in twenty fourteen to the low

327
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: to mid sixties.

328
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 3: Now.

329
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: Washington County remains the reddest of these so called wow counties,

330
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: but it can't fully offset losses everywhere. Liberals are outperforming

331
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: in suburban areas, the suburbs in Dane and Milwaukee Counties

332
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: leading the charge. Big reason for this is what I've

333
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: termed urban liberal flight. Liberals have a tendency to get

334
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: into power in a given community. They let's say Milwaukee. Okay,

335
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: they destroy Milwaukee, and we have got a whole lot

336
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: on Milwaukee's failing public school system. Finally, after more than

337
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: a half century, they finally get the idea, hey, maybe

338
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: we're wasting money on all of these non teaching positions.

339
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: I'll give credit to Brenda Cassilius, that's superintendent of MPs,

340
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: for finally coming up with the obvious solution here. We'll

341
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: dive into that in the five o'clock hour. But they

342
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,959
Speaker 1: get into power, they turn areas into crime infested hellholes.

343
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: The schools fail, public services decline, quality of life goes down.

344
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: So then what they do is they move to the

345
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: next closest suburbs. In Milwaukee's case, Wahwatosa. Wawatosa is a

346
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: conservative suburb forever. Then the Libs moved in and now

347
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 1: they're in the process of destroying Wahwatosa, failing schools, more crime,

348
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: the works. Then they're now moving to Brookfield and a

349
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: far left radical LIB wants to be mayor. We'll have

350
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: an exclusive story about the conflict of interest that charge

351
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: has been leveled against Michael Holquist, who is running to

352
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: be mayor. Out in Brookfield, Dan O'Donnell show exclusive coming up.

353
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: That's part of the reason that you have seen the

354
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 1: Wow counties Waukeshaw County in particular, just declining in terms

355
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: of the sheer volume of votes that it's able to

356
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: turn out for Republicans and conservative candidates. But it doesn't

357
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: tell the whole story. Wisconsin's population growth is pretty anemic.

358
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: Past couple of years got one of the slowest growth

359
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: rates in the entire country, about three point six percent.

360
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: International migration, by the way, accounts for about ninety five

361
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: percent of that. So a whole lot of people who

362
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 1: are coming into Wisconsin aren't voting, and the people who

363
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: are leaving Wisconsin, the people who are getting to retirement

364
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: age and deciding that, hey, I don't want a beautiful

365
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: sixty eight degree day in March once every five years,

366
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: I want to live in Paradise down in Florida. And oh, hey,

367
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: by the way, if I move down to Florida and

368
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: declare myself to be a Florida resident and stay there

369
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: for six months in one day and only come back

370
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: to Wisconsin when the weather is awesome, usually about July

371
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: to mid September, then I don't have to pay Wisconsin's

372
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: income taxes. If I sell my property in Wisconsin and

373
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: maybe I rent a condo and come back and actually

374
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: buy property down in Florida or down in Arizona, down

375
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: in Texas, a state that doesn't have income tax and

376
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: has lower property tax rates, I don't need to pay

377
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: the insane cost of government here in Wisconsin. It just

378
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: makes a whole lot of sense. Now, who do you

379
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: think is more likely to do that? Who do you

380
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: think is more likely to have the financial wherewithal to

381
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,479
Speaker 1: be able to understand this and also be able to

382
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: have the retirement nest egg to actually become a snowbird,

383
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: A conservative or a liberal, a Republican or a Democrat.

384
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: Almost invariably it's going to be a Republican. Democrats, and

385
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: I'm going to generalize here, just aren't particularly good with money.

386
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: So you typically will have the Democrat voter base. They're

387
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: either going to be tech pro billionaires, or they are

388
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: going to be in the lower or lower middle class

389
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: socioeconomic classes, the upper class, the upper middle class, and

390
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: the middle class. Those are all decidedly Republicans. And those

391
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: are the people who will go down to Florida. They

392
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: will retire to Florida, and since we had such a

393
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: strong coalition of Scott Walker voters who basically dominated this

394
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: state's politics for a decade plus once they reached retirement age,

395
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: primarily baby boomers, maybe a little bit younger, a significant

396
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: portion of them are no longer here, and the Republican

397
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: Party in the era of Trump has essentially replaced them

398
00:25:54,920 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: with lower propensity rural voters, inner city Latino and black

399
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 1: voters who aren't as likely to show up in these

400
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: state supreme court elections or and one of the things

401
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: that Republicans are really going to have to grapple with

402
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: in the next couple of years are the Trump only voters,

403
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: the people who are just naturally politically agnostic or even

404
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: anti politics altogether. They just like Donald Trump because they

405
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: see Trump as the anti politician. They see Trump as

406
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: the brick through the window of the political establishment. Well,

407
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: he's never going to be on a ballot again. And

408
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: Republicans are going to have to convince a whole lot

409
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: of these voters that they relied on to show up

410
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: in presidential elections but who haven't showed up in other elections,

411
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: to actually vote for the Republican and conservative brand and

412
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: not just for President Trump coming up a potential scandal

413
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: in the Brookfield mayoral race. Will dive into it. It's

414
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: a Dan o'donald Show exclusive that you're not going to

415
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: want to miss. Hi, Welcome back to the Dan o'donald Show.

416
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: We get now to an exclusive story. Brookfield alderman Michael Halquist,

417
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: who is challenging Mayor Steve Ponto in next month's mayoral election,

418
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: faces a possible ethics investigation for failing to disclose his

419
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: role on the board of a nonprofit that aids low

420
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 1: income families with housing, an organization that stood to gain

421
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: from a municipal ordinance he supported. Halquist serves as a

422
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: trustee for Family Promise of Waukeshaw County. According to its website,

423
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: the group's mission is to quote prevent and end homelessness

424
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: for families with children and help them achieve sustainable independence

425
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: through a community based response. Now this is not to

426
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: criticize Halquist for sitting on this board or to criticize

427
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: the board's work. I think it's obviously fantastic to prevent homelessness,

428
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: especially for families with children. We want to make sure

429
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: that they have houses. Here's the problem. March third Common

430
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: Council votes on an amendment to a new sanitary sewer

431
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: impact fee ordinance. Now, Halquist backed the measure twice, first

432
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: in committee, that on the full council. That ordinance or

433
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: that amendment rather would grant builders of so called affordable

434
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: life low cost housing relief from the proposed fees. Now,

435
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: what sort of organization do you suppose would benefit from that? Say,

436
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: an organization that would work to prevent an end homelessness

437
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: for families with children and help them achieve sustainable independence

438
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: through a community based response. Yeah, that sort of group,

439
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: the very group that Halquist sits on the board of

440
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: Family Promise of Wakashaw County. Fellow alderman Chris Seals filed

441
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: a formal request with the City Clerk's office seeking an

442
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: advisory opinion from the Ethics Board. Now, Seals is saying

443
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: Halquist violated the city's ethics Code by not revealing his

444
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: nonprofit affiliation and by not recusing himself from votes that

445
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: could benefit developers of low income housing. I actually went

446
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: and looked up Brookfield's municipal code because this is the

447
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: depth of research that you get here on the Dan

448
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: O'Donnell show, and sure enough, Alderman Chris Seals is absolutely correct.

449
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: Chapter two point two zero Brookfield Municipal Code Standards of

450
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: Conduct makes it very clear no local public officials shall

451
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: I use their office or position in a way that

452
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: produces or assists in the production of a substantial benefit

453
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: direct or indirect for an organization with which they are associated.

454
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: Now would waiving a sewage fee for an organization that

455
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: Mike Halquist just happens to sit on the board of

456
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: be a violation of this standard of conduct municipal ordnance?

457
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: It sure would. Now, how about another one where you

458
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest? Also,

459
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: Chapter two point two zero quote, a local public official

460
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: shall disclose in writing to the City Clerk any financial

461
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: interest or personal interest that they may have in any legislation, agenda, item,

462
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: or other matter before any city body. Such disclosure shall

463
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: oker prior to any action the body takes on the matter.

464
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: Suffice it to say, Alderman Hallquist did not disclose that

465
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: he is a member on this Affordable Housing of Waukashaw County,

466
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: but Family Promise of Waukashaw County. The group is called

467
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: there are here as I see it. Two clear violations

468
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: of municipal ordinance. And this is coming amid a push

469
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: in suburbs like Brookfield to get more affordable tract housing

470
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: and to get more low income housing into these higher

471
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: end communities, often against the wishes of the people who

472
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: live there. They don't want to see this sort of thing.

473
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: But you've got alders like Michael Halquist, who is, by

474
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: the way, a far left radical. I have looked into

475
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: his social media and boy, oh boy, it does not

476
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: get more left wing than Mike haul Quest. But this, again,

477
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: this is not a political issue here. This is a

478
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: clear violation of a conflict of interest he's voting on

479
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: so he's on the committee that is advancing this ordinance

480
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: that would say, Okay, if you are building affordable, low

481
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: cost housing, you get relief from these sewage fees, and

482
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: then he's voting for it again on the full council

483
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: without ever telling anybody that his group would stand to

484
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: benefit and would make it much easier for that group

485
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: to have build affordable housing in the city of Brookfield.

486
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: That is a clear Both of those are clear violations

487
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: of Brookfield's municipal ordinance. Now Seals says that his request

488
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: for this ethics investigation came a day before the full

489
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: council vote. The Ethics Board is now going to investigate

490
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: rule on whether a violation occurred. So Seals notice that

491
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 1: there was this conflict of interest after Halquist voted on

492
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: this in committee. Now, the two of these guys have

493
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: apparently been going at it forever over affordable housing. This

494
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: is a battle that apparently started over a project called

495
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: the Flats at Bishop's Woods. It's in Seals' district, and

496
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: Seals said, look, my constituents don't want this. Halquist has

497
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: always pushed for this development. He's pushed for other developments

498
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: in the community, and Seal said, look, my my constituents

499
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: don't want this. Well, Halquist pushing for this sort of stuff.

500
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: It would seem would also be a little bit more

501
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: indirectly another violation of this conflict of interest. If he

502
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: is pushing for Brookfield to develop more low income housing

503
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,719
Speaker 1: and his group just happens to assist in providing people

504
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: in Brookfield and across Walkeshaw County with more low income housing,

505
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: all of this would be a conflict of interest, and

506
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: at the very least Halquist would need to, if not

507
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: recuse himself from these votes at least disclose that he

508
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 1: is on this board. Seal said in a statement released

509
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: to the Dan O'Donnell show, I received substantial constituent feedback

510
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 1: about the flats. Every person requested that I oppose the project.

511
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: These are the people I represent. I will always be

512
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: one hundred percent dedicated to doing so. No outside interest

513
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: will ever affect my judgment. He also says he looks

514
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 1: forward to full disclosure and an orderly process so people

515
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: in Brookfield know quote whose interests their elected officials are representing.

516
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: Halquist is again looking to unseat the current mayor, a

517
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 1: very very good conservative by the name of Steve Ponto,

518
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: who is i am told, very popular in Brookfield except

519
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: for that segment of liberals who has recently moved in.

520
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: I told you in that last segment that we did

521
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: here on the program that this has been a constant

522
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: problem that you have got liberals moving from. It's sort

523
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,959
Speaker 1: of like, what is it, Horace Greeley, go West young Man,

524
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: well left. These in southeast Wisconsin are taking that very literally.

525
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: They're starting in Milwaukee. They screwed up Milwaukee pretty darn badly.

526
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: Then they go to Wauwatosa up Wauwatosa's screwed up schools.

527
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 1: They're suck Hey, Brookfield, that looks like a pretty good

528
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: community and they're in the process of screwing that up.

529
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: So Brookfield, don't let them do it. Don't let this

530
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: guy who is looking to get grants to build low

531
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: income housing and potentially enrich himself as a member of

532
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: the board get into even more power, because if he's

533
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: the mayor, you'd better believe every ethical standard is going

534
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: to go by the wayside. We'll name the unhinged liberal

535
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: of the day. Coming up next right here on the

536
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: Dan O'donnalds Show. Probably President Trump's speaking now from his

537
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: Dural Golfers Club. This is not the press conference I

538
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: am told that he is going to be holding a

539
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: little bit later. He is speaking at the Republican Members Conference.

540
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: Can we produce our Doug dip in just very very

541
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: briefly into the president's remarks ever conducted.

542
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 3: That's Operation Epic Fury.

543
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 4: That's a great name, is it, Epic Fury.

544
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 3: That's even better than Midnight Hammer, which was pretty good too.

545
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 4: That was where we knocked out there nuclear potential. That

546
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 4: was a big day because if we didn't do that

547
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 4: they would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks,

548
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 4: and I think would be in a lot different situation.

549
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 3: And then you.

550
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 4: Had, of course what they did in Venezuela.

551
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 3: How that was. I was just so far, so good.

552
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 3: We've done a real job. We've got all good ones.

553
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 4: If you go back and you look at Afghanistan with Biden,

554
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 4: one of the worst, I think, the most embarrassing moment

555
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 4: in the history of our country. If you look at

556
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 4: what happened with Jimmy Carter with also with Iran, but

557
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 4: if you look at what happened with the helicopters and

558
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 4: the hostages, it cost.

559
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 3: Them the election. What a mess.

560
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 4: The world respects us right now more than they have

561
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 4: ever respected us before.

562
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: That is President Trump speaking at Trump d rally as

563
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: holding a conference for Republican Members of Congress. We will

564
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: dip back into that, of course, the Daily Trump Date

565
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: each and every day, right after the four o'clock news,

566
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 1: we get you an update on all things going on

567
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: at the Trump administration, because quite frankly, we are probably

568
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: the first and only place you are going to get unfiltered, unbiased, okay,

569
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: not totally unbiased, not liberally biased news about the Trump administration.

570
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: That's coming up right after the top of the hour

571
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: right now. Though each and every day we name the

572
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: unhinged liberal of.

573
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 5: The day, we are in pre Nazi Germany.

574
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: Trump is dangerous because he's evil.

575
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 3: America in.

576
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: So last week James Tallerico defeated Jasmine Crockett to win

577
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: the Texas Democratic Senate primary, and pretty much ever since,

578
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: there's been a NonStop barrage of old clips of him

579
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: saying truly insane things like this on an old podcast

580
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: where he's asked, name one thing that you love, not

581
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: family or friends. His answers kids.

582
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 6: Something that you love that's not family or friends.

583
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 7: I love.

584
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 3: I'm just saying this because it's on my mind. The

585
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:12,760
Speaker 3: trans children who.

586
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 4: Showed up yesterday at the state capitol to advocate for

587
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 4: their humanity.

588
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 6: They shouldn't have to, but it was an inspiration to watch.

589
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: Could this guy be any more phony? It's like the

590
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: Occupied Democrats Facebook page suddenly gave gained sentience and just

591
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:36,760
Speaker 1: started spouting out inane stuff like that. James tall Rico,

592
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:40,240
Speaker 1: you're unhinged Liberal of the day, Democrats, good luck winning

Speaker 3: We're gonna win so much.

635
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: You may even get tired of winning. Trump just keeps winning.

636
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 5: It is a win for the administration it's also a

637
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 5: big win for the United States.

638
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 3: We have to keep winning. We have to win Moore.

639
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 3: We're gonna win Moore.

640
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: President Trump, speaking today to members of Congress at Trump

641
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: Durrell in Miami, he proclaimed today to be US Hostage

642
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: and Wrongful Detainee Day, honoring Americans held captive abroad and

643
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: recommitting the administration to securing their safe return. Earlier today,

644
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke at the ceremony and

645
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: provided an update on the situation in IRAA.

646
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 2: The goals of this mission are clear, and it's important

647
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 2: to continue to remind the American people of why it

648
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 2: is that the greatest military and history of the world

649
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 2: is engaged in this operation. It is to destroy the

650
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 2: ability of this regime to launch missiles, both by destroying

651
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,359
Speaker 2: their missiles and their launchers, destroy the factories that make

652
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 2: these missiles, and destroy their navy. I think we are

653
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 2: all seeing right now the threat this clerical regime poses

654
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 2: to the region and to the world. They are trying

655
00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 2: to hold the world hostage. They are attacking their name,

656
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 2: they are attacking neighboring countries, their energy infrastructure, their civilian population.

657
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 2: They're attacking embassies. This is a terrorist government. This is

658
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 2: a terroristic regime, and we are seeing them conduct terrorism

659
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 2: using nation state elements, using weapons like missiles and one.

660
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: Way attack drones.

661
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 2: And the objective of this mission is to destroy their

662
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,879
Speaker 2: ability to continue to do that, and we are well

663
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 2: on our way to achieving that objective. Every single day

664
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 2: with overwhelming force, with overwhelming precision. The military, the United

665
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: States military, the men and women in uniform, are conducting

666
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 2: an extraordinary operation.

667
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 1: Okay, new rule for the Trump administration. Nobody is allowed

668
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: to talk except for Marco Rubio. All right, we saw

669
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: what happened with Christy Nome at DHS. You just someone

670
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: has a question, Okay, Rubio or Scott Besant or JD.

671
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 3: Vans.

672
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: We love you, mister president. But when we're talking policy,

673
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: only those three, it's like the first Triumvirate. It's like Caesar, Pompey,

674
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 1: Magnus and Crassus speaking for the Trump administration. He is

675
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: so incredibly good at his job. Speaking of jobs, what

676
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: is the one job in the world that absolutely nobody

677
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 1: wants right now? He could think of any job that

678
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: nobody wants. I'm gonna go with Ayatola of Iran. Well,

679
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 1: Iran is apparently named a new one, Ali Hamane's son,

680
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: mosh Tava Hamani. But there are now reports coming out

681
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:35,359
Speaker 1: of Iran that most Tava was seriously injured, that one

682
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: of his legs has been amputated, and he may not

683
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: even be aware that he is now the supreme leader

684
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 1: of Iran. Otherwise, though, things are going just great for

685
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,839
Speaker 1: the regime. In a phone interview today, President Trump told

686
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: CBS News he could not possibly care less about threats

687
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 1: from Iran's national security officials, insisting the US is focused

688
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: solely on forcing Tehran's unconditional surrender in the ongoing conflict.

689
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: Trump added that America is very far ahead of his

690
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: original four to five week timeline for ending the war.

691
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: The President again is going to be holding a news

692
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: conference in about a half hour at his Durled Golf

693
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: Club in Florida before he returns to Washington, d C. Today.

694
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: The session comes after Trump told reporters Today earlier today

695
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: that the war is pretty much complete. Oil prices, he says,

696
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: will drop rapidly once the Iranian nuclear threat is destroyed.

697
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, those oil prices are already

698
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: dropping rapidly. Oil now trading at eighty four dollars a

699
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 1: barrel after opening up this session well over one hundred dollars.

700
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: Vice President jd. Vance today speaking at the International Association

701
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: of Firefighters and touting the administration's work on behalf of

702
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: firefighters in other first responds, Now, let me talk just.

703
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 8: A little bit about what it means to really support you,

704
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 8: because I think it's important. It's it's of course important

705
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 8: that the Vice presidents stand up here and say how

706
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 8: grateful he is, and I certainly am. I'm grateful to

707
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 8: each and every one of you and.

708
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 6: The people you serve.

709
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,479
Speaker 1: But it's not just about words. It's about action.

710
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 8: And that's one of the things I'm proud of about

711
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 8: this administration is that we have actually backed up the

712
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 8: pride and the support and the gratitude that we have

713
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 8: for all of you with very meaningful action. You heard

714
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 8: ED talk a little bit about this Social.

715
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 3: Security Fairness Act. Well, one of the.

716
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 8: Reasons why that happened is because the President of the

717
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 8: United States, and I believe it was even before the inauguration,

718
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 8: the President of the United States made sure that Congressional

719
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,320
Speaker 8: Republicans stayed on top of that legislation and we worked

720
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 8: to get it done. That happened because of presidential leadership.

721
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: Okay again, only Vance, only Rubio, and only Scott Besant

722
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: are allowed to talk, all right, Anyone who puts themselves

723
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: in like a two hundred twenty million dollar ad camp

724
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: starring herself gone. Okay and okay, okay, I take that back.

725
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt. Caroline Levitt might be the best press secretary

726
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: in my lifetime. She is fantastic. But in terms of

727
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,760
Speaker 1: like cabinet secretaries, and as much as I love Duffy

728
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: as much as I love Doug Burgham, only those three

729
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 1: and Levitt allowed to speak for the next three years.

730
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: President Vance wins in a sixty point landslide. Speaking of Duffy,

731
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: speaking of Burgham, The Transportation and Interior secretaries met with

732
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and IndyCar officials today. They unveiled

733
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:41,800

734
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 1: circuit for the Freedom two point fifty Grand Prix. I

735
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: am unnaturally excited about this. I'm not normally into race cars.

736
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm not normally into IndyCar, NASCAR, that sort of thing.

737
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: This is the first time there is ever going to

738
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: be any sort of car race on federal property. It's

739
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,319
Speaker 1: set for August twenty se second, twenty third on the

00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 1: National Mall as well as Pennsylvania Avenue right in front

00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: of the White House. It's part of the celebrations for

742
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:13,120
Speaker 1: America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. You've got the World Cup,

743
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: you have got an MMA fight apparently on the fourth

744
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: of July. You've got IndyCar It is going to be

745
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: a heck of a summer. That, ladies and gentlemen, is

746
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: your daily Trump date. Now each and every Monday, we

747
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: know the difference between financial advisors, and we try to

748
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: get an update on what is going on financially with

749
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: our friend Dave Spono. He is the CEO of Annex

750
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: Wealth Management. Of course, day of all anybody is talking

751
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,920
Speaker 1: about today is the price of oil. And actually before

752
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: the show started, I went out and I bought fifty

753
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: thousand barrels of oil. Now not oil futures. I actually

754
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: have the barrels of oil sitting at my house. I

755
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: am now declaring myself to be Sultan of Wisconsin. All

756
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 1: must yield before my awesome oil power, because I can

757
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: only assume right now that the price of oil is

758
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: now well over four hundred dollars a barrel, the way

759
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: that people in the media this morning were fear monitoring.

760
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: Are we up to five hundred and six hundred dollars

761
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: a barrel?

762
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 3: Now?

763
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: Am I the wealthiest man in Wisconsin?

764
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 3: You are not.

765
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 9: But you know that used to happen back in the day.

766
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 9: That was the threat in the mercantile exchange days. Is

767
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 9: you know, if you got served the corn contracts, they

768
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 9: delivered the corn to your house. But no, it is

769
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 9: exactly wrong. You know, you and I talked about two

770
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 9: hours ago and all we were talking.

771
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 3: About is the price of oil.

772
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 9: And since then we've had a little bipolar axis that

773
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 9: happened in the markets this morning.

774
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 6: We opened up at one sixteen oil futures.

775
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 9: We are trading in the eighties right now, eighty five

776
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:50,800
Speaker 9: eight WGI twoed.

777
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 1: Are you saying I'm ruined when you are ruining me? I? Actually, Dave,

778
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: I've got some bad news. We are now replacing your

779
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: segment with a weekly one from a bankruptcy attorney. It

780
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: is going to it's going to help steer Dan through

781
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: chapter eleven after my oil bibe. Do people not understand

782
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 1: the cyclical nature of this? And do people not understand

783
00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 1: that America is now a much bigger domestic energy producer

784
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: than we were even a decade ago.

785
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, the fact that we are a net exporter goes

786
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 9: right into this. But the conversations that we've been having

787
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 9: for weeks now is as these ships were moving into

788
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,719
Speaker 9: the straits of her moves, does it move from a

789
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 9: geopolitical risk and turn into an economic risk? And that's

790
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 9: what we saw over the weekend as oil price spiked.

791
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 9: And as I said earlier to you today, is it temporary?

792
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 9: Is it reversible? If it's temporary and reversible, you can

793
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 9: invest right through this. Well, I didn't know that was

794
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,799
Speaker 9: going to happen in the matter of an hour or so.

795
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 9: But the news today that the war with Iran is

796
00:51:56,080 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 9: very complete pretty much is what he said. So it's

797
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 9: pretty much done, doesn't mean it's completely done. So there

798
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 9: probably will be some remnants that are going to go on.

799
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 9: But a historic swing in oil prices this afternoon.

800
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,359
Speaker 1: I've actually never seen anything like that. Yeah, we did

801
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: open up at one hundred and sixteen dollars and just

802
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: the what if Trump call them pannikins were out in

803
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 1: full force this morning and already everybody was jumping all

804
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: over the price of gasoline. I think I saw every

805
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,240
Speaker 1: single Democrat in the state of Wisconsin attempting to dunk

806
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: on Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany because he said, hey,

807
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: gas prices are at two dollars and sixty cents, and

808
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: they're all standing out in front of gas stations where

809
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 1: the price is three dollars. Did you people not realize

810
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: or not remember or did you think that we would

811
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: forget that In the summer of twenty twenty two, gas

812
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:50,359
Speaker 1: prices averaged five dollars a gallon for the first time

813
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: in American history in all fifty states. Because I sure

814
00:52:54,040 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: as heck do. I mean, it's it's remarkable how people

815
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: will panic and and Dave, I think there's a there's

816
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 1: a broader issue here, how panic really does royal the market.

817
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: And you could almost see that this morning as you're

818
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: as you're seeing the last time I saw this day.

819
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 1: Do you remember what was supposed to be Black Monday?

820
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: When the Monday after? Do you remember the Monday after? Uh,

821
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: what do you call Liberation Day? Liberation Day? And we

822
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: had Jim Kramer, I think it was on Friday, go

823
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 1: on his show or on Twitter or something, and That

824
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: was the first indication that everything was going to be okay.

825
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,239
Speaker 1: He said, we could see a black Monday, just like

826
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven. I am, I am selling everything I

827
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: own and at that point I said, oh man, I'm

828
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: going to buy everything there is to buy. I literally

829
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: sat on my computer and just bought, bought, bought stock.

830
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: Whatever money I had, I was putting into stocks that

831
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: had just bottomed out. Within you. I'm not even kidding you.

832
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: An hour an hour we were in the green. It

833
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: was a classic inverse. Kramer and I think we're seeing

834
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: the same thing. And what I want to stress is

835
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: that the old rules of how markets move, I think

836
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: are they still are in play, but things just feel

837
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: like they moved way quicker than they did before. Am

838
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: I am? I right on you?

839
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, you are right, and it's you know, computer trading.

840
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 9: But you'll remember back in September of two thousand and eight,

841
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 9: when we had a cascading failure of financial institutions one

842
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 9: after another.

843
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 3: We come in on Saturday mornings.

844
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 9: You'll remember back in a different stations days that we

845
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 9: were coming on and we would talk about all of

846
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,879
Speaker 9: those all of the banks that were shuttered, and you'll

847
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 9: remember that Buffett then made that famous comment that when

848
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 9: people are fearful, you'd be greedy, and when they're greedy,

849
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 9: when you should be fearful. And the fear factor was

850
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 9: going through the roof, especially this morning when we saw

851
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 9: those oil prices. So you doing that place right into

852
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 9: the buffet ism of September two thousand and eight.

853
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: And that that is UH words to live by. Absolutely.

854
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: And also, just man, Dave, you made me feel real

855
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: old because I got a flashback to you and I

856
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: sitting in that old radio station just shooting the breeze

857
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 1: before our collective Saturday shows.

858
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:22,240
Speaker 9: Well, we used to talk a lot of we talked because.

859
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:25,879
Speaker 3: I don't think that you're all your listeners know that

860
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 3: you were. You were working for the sports team Baseball.

861
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 3: I was.

862
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 1: I was the official Milwaukee Brewers postgame host way back

863
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: in the day. And I actually yeah, I got my

864
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:41,240
Speaker 1: start doing Wisconsin Sports Weekend with Jeff Felconio, and everybody

865
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: always asked what's Jeff Falconio up to?

866
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 3: Now?

867
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: He just he retired. He makes all his money trading stocks,

868
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,240
Speaker 1: and now I mostly see him on the golf course.

869
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: He's still one of my very best friend's lifelong friend.

870
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: I Actually I'm probably going to see him for Buffalo

871
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 1: Wings on Thursday night. Hey, Dave, appreciate your longtime friends,

872
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:01,920

Speaker 1: about one hundred and five years old. Head to annexwealth

00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:47,399
Speaker 1: contemporary style back in just three minutes. Intelligent discourse and

884
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: irreverent fun. We try to do both in equal measured

885
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: here on The Dan o'donald Show. Welcome back to it.

886
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 1: President Trump is expected to hold a press conference within

887
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: the next ten minutes or so, we think. I was

888
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: talking with my producer Doug Russell before the show started.

889
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: I have been covering presidents since George W. Bush I

890
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: started in this business in two thousand and one, if

891
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: you can believe that, July I will mark Oh my goodness,

892
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: I was just talking to Spawno about how I feel ancient.

893
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: This July, right before my forty fifth birthday, I will

894
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:33,520
Speaker 1: mark twenty five years in the broadcast industry. Yis started

895
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: when I was nineteen years old. So I've been covering

896
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: presidents from Bush straight through to Trump. The only one

897
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: who was ever on time to any of his press

898
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: conferences ever, George W.

899
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 3: Bush.

900
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: You could set your watch to that man. What if

901
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: he said he was going to do a press conference

902
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: at four thirty, It would be like four thirty and

903
00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 1: seventeen seconds, and that man would be walking to the ponte.

904
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: President Obama, it would be like, Okay, the president is

905
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,840
Speaker 1: scheduled to speak at four point thirty. It's now five

906
00:58:06,840 --> 00:58:12,400
Speaker 1: point fifteen. We're still waiting for it. Trump was Trump

907
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: was a little bit better in his first term. Biden understandable.

908
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 1: You know, you kind of have to get him walking

909
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 1: in the right direction, and then he kind of wander

910
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: off and then he get lost on his way to

911
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: the bathroom. So that's probably another fifteen minutes. But it's

912
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: just it's remarkable how they'll say four thirty and then

913
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: you really have no idea. It's the joys of live radio, folks,

914
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: and I can't tell you how much I love doing it,

915
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: especially when you get to cover political figures like Tammy Baldwin.

916
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: Every so often, she pops her head up just like

917
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: the groundhog every February second to remind voters that she

918
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: does actually still exist. Normally, she just pops her head

919
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: up every six years to get reelected and then head

920
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: right back to the Senate Cafe for the oil you

921
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: can eat buffets or whatever she's doing in Washington, because

922
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: it really isn't much of anything for people in Wisconsin. Well,

923
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: she sat down with Matt Smith over at the Statewide

924
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 1: Political Sunday Show up front to rip on President Trump

925
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: for what she called his illegal war.

926
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 10: When the president enters a war of choice, illegally, we

927
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 10: weren't under any imminent threat of attack, or we were not,

928
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 10: I mean, we also were not under attack. And those

929
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 10: are the conditions that would give the president the authority

930
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:45,439
Speaker 10: to use the military absent congressional authorization. But we're now

931
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 10: looking at the prospect of something that could be another

932
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 10: endless Middle East war. This president needs to cease, he

933
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 10: needs to come to Congress seek authorization if he intends

934
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 10: to prosecute this.

935
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Now, to his credit, Smith followed up and said, are

936
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: you concerned about what might happen if we immediately stopped

937
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: prosecuting this war and if Congress doesn't give, Because folks,

938
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 1: if you gave, if Democrats, this is a classic example

939
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: of why we absolutely have to retain at least one

940
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: House of Congress in the midterms because Democrats would absolutely

941
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: authorize to end this war. They would revoke the president's

942
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 1: war powers, authorization for military force, and they would force

943
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: an end to this conflict, no doubt about that. Once again,

944
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: Senator Baldwin needs remedial courses in constitutional law and American history.

945
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: As I think everybody knows by now, the last time

946
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 1: Congress actually issued a war declaration was in nineteen forty two.

947
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 1: That's right. The Korean War, the Vietnam War, Operation Desert Storm,

948
01:00:56,240 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 1: the War on Terror, all essentially undeclared wars. When it

949
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 1: comes to an imminent threat, Smith, also to his immense credit,

950
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: followed up and said, did you get nothing in your

951
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,320
Speaker 1: congressional briefing that would suggest there was an imminent threat?

952
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:14,480
Speaker 1: Because Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week very clearly

953
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: and very articulately laid out the imminent threat the United

954
01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: States has been in, essentially an undeclared war with Iran

955
01:01:23,800 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: for the last forty seven years. Last week on the program,

956
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: we actually outlined in painstaking detail all of the terror attacks,

957
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: from the Marine Barracks bombing, to the one of the

958
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: very first acts following the revolution, which was to take

959
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: the American embassy hostage and to hold all those hostages

960
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: for what four hundred and forty four days, to the

961
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: Kobar Towers bombing, to the arming of the Iraqi Isis

962
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: al Qaida in Iraq terror groups. Pretty Much every American

963
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 1: that was killed by an improvised explosive device in Iraq

964
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: was killed by an Iranian op. It's not as though

965
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: Trump disdecided to attack Iran. Iran has been at war

966
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 1: with the United States, to say nothing of Hezbollah, to

967
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 1: say nothing of Hamas, to say nothing of the Houthi

968
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: rebels in Yemen, which have been attacking American ships forever,

969
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 1: to say nothing of early twenty twenty, late twenty nineteen,

970
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: when Iran downed a very expensive American military drone, we

971
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: of course retaliated by killing Cossum Sulimani using drone technology.

972
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 1: And it should go without saying that in the final

973
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 1: year of Barack Obama's presidency, the United States dropped bombs

974
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: without ever going to Congress and without ever there being

975
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:51,160
Speaker 1: an imminent threat that would authorize this sort of military

976
01:02:51,200 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: activity on seven different countries Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia,

977
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: and Pakistan. The Obama administration's military dropped an estimated twenty

978
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: six thousand, one hundred and seventy two bombs on seven

979
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: different countries, without ever going to Congress and without there

980
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:22,360
Speaker 1: ever being articulate. What was the imminent threat from Somalia

981
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: back in twenty sixteen? Please, can somebody tell me what

982
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: was the imminent threat? Sure as heck, wasn't all of

983
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: that fraud in Minnesota back then Yemen where the huthis

984
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: in Yemen producing that imminent of a threat that they

985
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: deserve to share of the twenty six thousand bombs. This

986
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: is so beyond show, It is so beyond there's the

987
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: presidents have been taking troops into Combet and by the way,

988
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: this notion that we're going to be in a forever

989
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 1: war the notion that we're going to have American troops.

990
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: We're going to have boots on the ground. Boots on

991
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: the ground. This is the thing that everybody is concerned about.

992
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: We're we're going to have boots on the ground. Is

993
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:13,480
Speaker 1: there anything in the way that President Trump has conducted

994
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: himself as commander in chief over two terms now that

995
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: suggests he's going to commit boots on the ground. We

996
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: did have boots on the ground in Venezuela for a

997
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: grand total of like forty five minutes when we shut

998
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 1: down their air defenses and used our discombobulator technology to

999
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: take the illegitimate president of Venezuela into custody. In the

1000
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: better part of what an hour that operation lasted. Wars

1001
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: are not fought like they were even a generation ago.

1002
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: In Afghanistan and Iraq, They're just not They're fought the

1003
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 1: way we are fighting the war now. We drop bombs

1004
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: and we wait for a friendly government to take over.

1005
01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 1: And before you say that, well, dan Iraq, this is

1006
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 1: how Iraq started. It was an easy victory over the

1007
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: Iraqi military and then we had a long protracted insurgency. Yet,

1008
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 1: because we tried to import a style of government democracy

1009
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: we tried to impose our will on a country that

1010
01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: frankly didn't want it. And to be totally fair, we

1011
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: can argue about whether or not Iraq was a success

1012
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 1: or not, but Iraq is an ally now by every

1013
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: objective measure, Iraq is doing a whole lot better than

1014
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:33,439
Speaker 1: it was under Saddam Hussein. If we didn't take out

1015
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: Saddam ude or Kusay Hussein would be running the country,

1016
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: the torture rooms would be back, it would be an

1017
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: oppressive hell hole, and they'd probably go to war with Iran,

1018
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 1: this Sunni versus Shia eternal fight. At some point over

1019
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 1: the last quarter century, you would have another country in

1020
01:05:54,160 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: that region that is just completely unstable. Iraq's as stable

1021
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: country right now. The rest of the Middle East is,

1022
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 1: i hate to say it, relatively stable. Iran is the

1023
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 1: last domino to fall. And now that you essentially have

1024
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,840
Speaker 1: the rest of the region falling in line behind Saudi

1025
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 1: Arabia and getting in with the United States through the

1026
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 1: Abraham Accords and in his second term, I think, folks,

1027
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: everything can kind of boil down to President Trump's big

1028
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 1: speech in May, and we're going to get into this

1029
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 1: in much greater depth. Tomorrow where he was talking about

1030
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 1: a new generation of Middle Eastern leaders who are talking

1031
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: about what was his line? It was profit, commerce not chaos,

1032
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 1: Commerce not chaos. He said, Look, we value commerce, We

1033
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: value the relationship with the rest of the world, based

1034
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 1: on trade, based on tourism, based on mutual respect. If

1035
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 1: all you have to do is to stop killing Jews,

1036
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: that's a pretty darn good deal. And everybody said, yes,

1037
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: it is a pretty good deal except one rogue nation

1038
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 1: which kept funding and launching terror attacks Iran, and that

1039
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: nation had to be toppled. Coming up next, hopefully we

1040
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:17,240
Speaker 1: will hear from President Trump in his news conference. If not,

1041
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: we are going to get into the gas price explosion

1042
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: that really wasn't We may have a press conference from

1043
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 1: President Trump. We not doesn't really matter to us. Here

1044
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 1: at the Dan O'Donnell Show, we cover the news as

1045
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 1: it comes in. We're used to playing fast and loose.

1046
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:45,520
Speaker 1: That's how you do it in live radio. Welcome back now.

1047
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: Democrats have spent the better part of a full day

1048
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: now blasting President Trump over gas prices, which I find

1049
01:07:54,760 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: to be utterly freaking hilarious. Gas prices under President Trump

1050
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: averaged two dollars and forty eight cents during his first

1051
01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 1: term twenty seventeen through the very beginning of twenty twenty one.

1052
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: Now this does include a sharp drop due to COVID

1053
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: nineteen lockdowns. The price of gas dipped below two dollars.

1054
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: It was like a dollar seventy if I remember correctly.

1055
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: But gas hit its peak in twenty eighteen under Trump

1056
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 1: at two dollars and seventy two cents. Under Biden, twenty

1057
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: twenty one to twenty twenty four, gas averaged three dollars

1058
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 1: and forty five cents a gallon, thirty nine percent higher

1059
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 1: than under Trump. The lowest year, the lowest year, lowest

1060
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:58,799
Speaker 1: Lwest lowest year was twenty twenty one, when the average

1061
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: price of gas was three dollars. Now Democrats are all out.

1062
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 1: I saw every single buffoon running for governor as a

1063
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 1: Democrat out in front of a gas pump today. Clearly

1064
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 1: the message went out from the Democrat Party of Wisconsin.

1065
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 1: We're all gonna dunk on Tom Tiffany because Tiffany posted

1066
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:19,600
Speaker 1: a while back, Hey gas is at two dollars in

1067
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: sixty a gallon and it's gonna go much lower or

1068
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 1: something like that. So we're gonna get him. We are

1069
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: gonna post because gas is now up and around three dollars.

1070
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: Would you believe that? In twenty twenty two, the average

1071
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 1: price of gas for the year was three dollars and

1072
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:41,600
Speaker 1: ninety six cents. That is the all time record, and

1073
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:44,719
Speaker 1: it actually peaked at five dollars a gallon. In June.

1074
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:47,880
Speaker 1: For the first time in American history, the average price

1075
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline topped five dollars

1076
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:59,960
Speaker 1: a gallon in every single state. When Trump left office

1077
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 1: and Biden took control, gas prices were at two dollars

1078
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 1: in thirty three cents a gallon two thirty three January twentieth,

1079
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. At the end of Biden's term, the

1080
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 1: average price of gas was three dollars and two cents.

1081
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: Three dollars and two cents average. All right, I'm sorry,

1082
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: I guess the price spiked that I just filled up

1083
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 1: this weekend so i'd drive it a lot coaching soccer,

1084
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 1: So I didn't say it. Did it pump up all

1085
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 1: the way to three dollars and forty eight cents? Because

1086
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,400
Speaker 1: we've got a bottleneck in the strait of horror moves

1087
01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 1: And wouldn't you know it. The Trump administration isn't quite

1088
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 1: able to completely fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve because Biden

1089
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: actually emptied it for the great national emergency of the

1090
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,519
Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty two that Democrats were going to

1091
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,200
Speaker 1: get shellacked in the upcoming mid terms if the price

1092
01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 1: of gas stayed at five dollars a gallon. He rated

1093
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 1: the Strategic Oil Reserve, and Trump has actually refilled it

1094
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:08,599
Speaker 1: to the tune of, I believe fifty thousand gallons per day,

1095
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:11,679
Speaker 1: just to try to get back to where we were

1096
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: for an actual emergency, a natural you know, natural disaster

1097
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 1: or something like that, or in the case of what

1098
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,680
Speaker 1: we're in now, a war in the Middle East. But

1099
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: this idea that Democrats would would ever consider attacking Republicans

1100
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 1: on the price of gas. We all lived through the

1101
01:11:34,200 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: last four years, Like we remember what the price was. Okay, here,

1102
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 1: when Trump took office January of twenty seventeen, price of

1103
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 1: gas two dollars thirty five cents. He left office two

1104
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 1: dollars thirty three cents. Biden takes off his two dollars

1105
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 1: thirty three cents he leaves it's three dollars and two

1106
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 1: cents a gallon. Look at by year, look at by

1107
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: four two years, for two entire years of Biden's presidency.

1108
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two, when again, the price was three dollars

1109
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 1: in ninety six on average for the entire year. For

1110
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: twelve months, for three hundred and sixty five days, the

1111
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 1: average price of gas was three dollars. Was fifty cents

1112
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 1: higher than it is right now when we're in a

1113
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 1: war with the Middle East. In the we're a war

1114
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 1: with Iran. In twenty twenty three, the average price of

1115
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: gas was three dollars and fifty two cents for the year.

1116
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: Again for a twelve month period, Even when Biden supposedly

1117
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: got things under control. Remember in twenty twenty four, we

1118
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 1: were told that inflation, Oh, it's it's easing. It's done.

1119
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:50,719
Speaker 1: The Biden administration has done everything it could to get

1120
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: inflation down. The price of gas, the average price of gas,

1121
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:58,840
Speaker 1: you're ready for this was still three dollars and thirty

1122
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: one cents a gall in, the lowest it was under

1123
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: Biden for a full year. Biden had three full years

1124
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 1: in office twenty two to twenty three, twenty four, twenty

1125
01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:12,840
Speaker 1: twenty one. I'll even say, okay, prices were sort of

1126
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 1: artificially low because obviously COVID nineteen. So in twenty twenty

1127
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 1: there was a huge drop because of the COVID nineteen lockdowns.

1128
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 1: So for two thirds of the year you had people

1129
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 1: just not going anywhere, so they weren't buying gas. Average

1130
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: price was two seventeen. So even if you throw that

1131
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 1: anomaly year out, the average price of gas under Trump

1132
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:45,679
Speaker 1: was about two fifty a gallon. If you throw out

1133
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 1: the anomaly year of Biden twenty twenty one, which was

1134
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 1: still sort of COVID for a good portion of the year,

1135
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: people still on lockdown, still not consuming as much gas,

1136
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,760
Speaker 1: not as much, not nearly as much demand as in

1137
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 1: a normal year. The average price under Biden was about

1138
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: three dollars and sixty cents for a three year stretch.

1139
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 1: For a three year stretch, we're paying a higher price

1140
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 1: at the pump than we are now. But one day,

1141
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:17,639
Speaker 1: one day, the price of gas goes up at every time.

1142
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:22,240
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we can't afford this. Trump Panomics has failed.

1143
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 1: We can't afford truck. Give me a break when I

1144
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:31,479
Speaker 1: say Democrats are the most disingenuous people on earth. This

1145
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:36,440
Speaker 1: is what I'm talking about. Intelligent discourse.

1146
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 3: Here, Reverend come, The Dan o'donald Show will be right back.

1147
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Dan o'donald's show. President Trump now holding a

1148
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 1: press conference at Trump Durrell. Let's go to it live.

1149
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 1: Here is the President's.

1150
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 4: Adding Iranian drones and our B two bombers recently dropped

1151
01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:01,800
Speaker 4: dozens of two thousand pounds ams to destroy missile launchers

1152
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 4: all over Iran and very deep under Iranian soil. In

1153
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 4: many cases, the soil was no match. And we're also

1154
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:15,240
Speaker 4: annihilating the manufacturing base that the regime uses to build

1155
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 4: drones and missiles at a rate that nobody thought was possible.

1156
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 4: We're knocking them out. We know where they all are.

1157
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 4: We're knocking them out very quickly. We're ahead of our

1158
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 4: initial timeline by a lot. I would say that we

1159
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 4: probably would not have thought after a month we'd be here.

1160
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 4: In addition to the fact that we've taken out the

1161
01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 4: leadership twice and maybe three times, and we, as you know,

1162
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 4: we want to be involved. We don't want another president

1163
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:47,639
Speaker 4: that maybe wouldn't be willing to do what I'm willing

1164
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 4: to do for the good of the world, for the

1165
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 4: good of our nation, to be stuck with the situation

1166
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 4: in five years or ten years from now, So we

1167
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 4: think they should put a president in or the head

1168
01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 4: of the country and that's gonna be able to do

1169
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 4: something peacefully for a change. They've been doing this for

1170
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 4: forty seven years, killing people for forty seven years, whether

1171
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:10,640
Speaker 4: it's the barracks or even the ss coal where they

1172
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 4: were involved very strongly. They always denied it, but they

1173
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 4: were very strongly involved in all of the people that

1174
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 4: died through the roadside bombs, died in our right now,

1175
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,800
Speaker 4: walking around with no legs, no arms, a face that's

1176
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 4: been so badly damaged. The Ranian regime has been attacking

1177
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 4: Americans and spreading terror for forty seven years. And despite

1178
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 4: these countless opportunities to renounce their nuclear ambitions, which they

1179
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:42,959
Speaker 4: had just a short while ago, they told mister Whitcoff,

1180
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 4: who is standing right over here.

1181
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 3: They said, they actually said, we want to keep building.

1182
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,600
Speaker 4: Essentially, in a real nutshell, we want to continue to

1183
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 4: build nuclear weapons. If we didn't knock out Midnight Hammer,

1184
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 4: if we didn't knock out their Iranian potential, and we

1185
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 4: didn't do that with Midnight Hammer, they would have had

1186
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 4: a nuclear weapon. They would have used it long before now,

1187
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 4: and at a minimum Israel would have been annihilated. It

1188
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 4: was very lucky that we had the courage to do that,

1189
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 4: that we had the talented pilots and the great equipment

1190
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:21,800
Speaker 4: to be two bombers or unbelievable, we ordered twenty five more,

1191
01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 4: by the way, the newer, better version. It's uh. We

1192
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 4: have the greatest military in the world. We have the

1193
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 4: greatest equipment in the world by far. We see that

1194
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 4: no matter where we go, you still need the people,

1195
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 4: though to operate it is to use it, and those

1196
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 4: are the people that we cherish. Even after we obliterated

1197
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 4: their key nuclear sites in Operation Midnight Hammer, they never

1198
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 4: negotiated into good faith.

1199
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 3: They still continued to say.

1200
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:54,479
Speaker 4: We want to build nuclear We wanted enrichment at levels

1201
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 4: that were unacceptable, and they even turned down an offer

1202
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:03,320
Speaker 4: for unlimited free nuclear fuel forever for civilian purposes.

1203
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:07,599
Speaker 3: We had people offering them free nuclear fuel.

1204
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 4: They weren't interested in that because they wanted to build

1205
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 4: a nuclear weapon. So instead the regime was trying to

1206
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 4: reconstitute this weapons program at a different site. They couldn't

1207
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 4: go back to where they were the three sites that

1208
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 4: we obliterated.

1209
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 1: This is President Trump holding a news conference. He is

1210
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 1: updating the war in Iran. We do have to take

1211
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:30,679
Speaker 1: a break for the news, ladies and gentlemen. We will

1212
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:34,719
Speaker 1: be monitoring this and get back to it as soon

Speaker 4: Yes, I had a very good call with President Putin.

Speaker 4: We had a lot of people on the line from

1234
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,400
Speaker 4: our side, from his side. We were talking about Ukraine,

1235
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 4: which is just a never ending fight and when look

1236
01:19:56,439 --> 01:20:00,439
Speaker 4: is tremendous hatred between President Putin and President Son, I

1237
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 4: can't seem to get it together. But I think it

1238
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:06,439
Speaker 4: was a positive call on that subject. And we obviously

1239
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:07,800
Speaker 4: talked that about the Middle.

1240
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 3: East, and he wants to be helpful.

1241
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:15,840
Speaker 4: I said, you could be more helpful by getting the

1242
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 4: Ukraine Russia war over with.

1243
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 3: That would be more helpful. But we had a very

1244
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 3: good talk and he wants to be very constructive. Yeah, please, yeah, please.

1245
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 4: Thank you.

1246
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:27,799
Speaker 3: Mister President.

1247
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 7: On Iran, you called it an excursion. You said it

1248
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 7: would be over soon. Are you thinking this week it

1249
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 7: will be over today?

1250
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 3: I think so, okay, very soon.

1251
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 4: Look, everything they have is gone, including their leadership. In fact,

1252
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 4: there are two levels of leadership, and even actually, as

1253
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:47,559
Speaker 4: it turns out, more than that, but two levels of

1254
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:50,760
Speaker 4: leadership are gone. Most people have never even heard about

1255
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:54,920
Speaker 4: the leaders that they're talking about. So it's obviously been

1256
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:59,519
Speaker 4: very very powerful, very effective, to Cuba.

1257
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 7: You said that Cuba wants to make a deal, What

1258
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:05,120
Speaker 7: would the United States get in return for that, and

1259
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 7: why should Americans trust Marco Rubio to negotiate it.

1260
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 3: Well, Marco Rubio is doing a great job.

1261
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 4: I think he's going to go down as the greatest

1262
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:15,679
Speaker 4: Secretary of State in history. Look at what we've done

1263
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:20,120
Speaker 4: as a presidency, look at what we've done as an administration.

1264
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 4: They trust Marco, and so do the American people. Trust

1265
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 4: he's been successful no matter where he's been. He also

1266
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 4: speaks to language, which is always nice and always helpful.

1267
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 4: But he's dealing and it may be a friendly takeover,

1268
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:39,639
Speaker 4: it may not be a friendly taker. It wouldn't matter,

1269
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 4: because they're really in. They're down to, as they say, fumes.

1270
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:51,719
Speaker 4: They have no energy, they have no money. They're deep

1271
01:21:51,800 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 4: trouble on a humanitarian basis, and we don't want to

1272
01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 4: see that. But they were very, very bad to a

1273
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:01,759
Speaker 4: lot of people, you know, and a lot of people living.

1274
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 4: The Cuban American vote, which I got at record levels,

1275
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 4: very important. Those people are very important to me. I know,

1276
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:11,679
Speaker 4: I know what they went through. They went through hell.

1277
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 4: Some of them have gone on to be some of

1278
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 4: the most successful people in the country, Cuban American business people.

1279
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:21,879
Speaker 4: Some of them are like the most successful in the country,

1280
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 4: and a lot of them are friends of mine because

1281
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 4: I've been fighting this battle with them for a long time.

1282
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:30,439
Speaker 4: The Castro regime was brutal, but they lived off Venezuela,

1283
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 4: and now they don't live off in Venezuela sends them

1284
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:36,759
Speaker 4: no energy, no fuel, no oil, no money, no nothing.

1285
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 4: They lived without Venezuela or they couldn't have made it,

1286
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:42,160
Speaker 4: and we cut them off from everything else.

1287
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 3: So, yeah, they're going to make either a deal or

1288
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 3: we'll do it just as easy anyway. Yeah, please go ahead.

1289
01:22:53,360 --> 01:23:00,680
Speaker 11: There's missile strike and a Tomahawk missile likely destroyed that

1290
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 11: Iranian girls school. So will the Americans the US accept

1291
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 11: any responsibility.

1292
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,720
Speaker 4: Well, I haven't seen it, and I will say that

1293
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 4: the tomahawk, which is one of the most powerful weapons around,

1294
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:13,639
Speaker 4: is used by you know, is sold and used by

1295
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:18,599
Speaker 4: other countries, you know that. And whether it's Iran who

1296
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:20,920
Speaker 4: also has some tomahawks, they wish they had more.

1297
01:23:21,680 --> 01:23:23,599
Speaker 3: But whether it's Iran or.

1298
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:25,920
Speaker 4: Somebody else, the fact that a tomahawk a tomahawk is

1299
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 4: very generic. It's sold to other countries. But that's being

1300
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:30,880
Speaker 4: investigated right now.

1301
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, please, thank you, mister President.

1302
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:39,599
Speaker 5: You've said the war is quote very complete, but your

1303
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:42,120
Speaker 5: defense secretary says, this is just the beginning.

1304
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 6: So which is it and how long should Americans be?

1305
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 3: Well? I think both the beginning. It's the beginning of

1306
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 3: building a new country. But they certainly they have no navy,

1307
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:56,880
Speaker 3: they have no air force, they have no anti aircraft equipment.

1308
01:23:57,000 --> 01:23:59,680
Speaker 3: It's all been blown up. They have no radar, they

1309
01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 3: have no telecommunications, and they have no leadership. It's all gone. So,

1310
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 3: you know, you could look at that statement.

1311
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,680
Speaker 4: We could call it a tremendous success right now as

1312
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 4: we leave here, I could call it, or we could

1313
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:19,840
Speaker 4: go further, and we're going to go further. But the

1314
01:24:20,520 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 4: big risk on that war has been over for three days.

1315
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 4: We wipe them out the first in the first two days.

1316
01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 4: When you think about it, it's incredible.

1317
01:24:30,200 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 3: We wiped out a big navy, very powerful navy. You know,

1318
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 3: these were ships, These were serious ships.

1319
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,360
Speaker 4: These were ships that you buy when you want to

1320
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:42,040
Speaker 4: win battles. They're all they're all on the bottom floor.

1321
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 4: The sailors are all running off the ships. They're refused

1322
01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 4: to get on the ships. The air force is gone.

1323
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 4: Everything's gone. The missiles are down to a trickle. The

1324
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:55,759
Speaker 4: drones are down to probably twenty five percent, and they'll

1325
01:24:55,960 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 4: soon be down to nothing. We'll have the where they manufactured.

1326
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:02,639
Speaker 4: The drones are under fire as we speak, they're being hit.

1327
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 4: So the rest is going to be determination as to

1328
01:25:08,560 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 4: my attitude, along with the people in the Trump administration,

1329
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 4: what we want to do.

1330
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 3: Thank you, yeah, Please?

1331
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:17,400
Speaker 1: Can I ask you?

1332
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,719
Speaker 12: You mentioned you were going to waive certain additional oil

1333
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 12: waivers or sanctions. Can you talk a little bit more

1334
01:25:22,120 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 12: about that and address in particular.

1335
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:26,599
Speaker 4: Well, well, looking to keep the oil prices down, we

1336
01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 4: went artificially up because of this excursion into a very

1337
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 4: positive thing. I mean, this was an excursion that a

1338
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:36,200
Speaker 4: lot of people wouldn't have done. I knew oil prices

1339
01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:39,160
Speaker 4: would go up if I did this, and they've gone up,

1340
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,559
Speaker 4: probably less than I thought they'd go up.

1341
01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 3: But I don't think anybody thought we were going to

1342
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 3: be this quickly successful.

1343
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 4: This was a military success the likes of which people

1344
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,000
Speaker 4: haven't seen. We have the best military, we have the

1345
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 4: best equipment, we have.

1346
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 3: I believe, the best generals.

1347
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 4: We have the best, and this went very quickly. We

1348
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:06,040
Speaker 4: talked about that with President Putin. He was very impressed

1349
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:10,080
Speaker 4: with what he saw because nobody's ever seen anything quite

1350
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:13,440
Speaker 4: like it. You know, Iran was a very powerful military

1351
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:15,639
Speaker 4: country with all of the missiles.

1352
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:17,519
Speaker 3: Now you had the double attack.

1353
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 4: You had the original attack with US in Israel, and

1354
01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 4: that knocked him for a loop. Then you had the

1355
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 4: B two bombers, which took out their nuclear capability, and

1356
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,320
Speaker 4: they would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks

1357
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:30,960
Speaker 4: to four weeks, and they would have used it long

1358
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 4: before this press conference, And we might have had a

1359
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 4: much different press conference if we had a press conference

1360
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 4: at all.

1361
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:40,160
Speaker 3: But it's been amazing.

1362
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 4: The military success that we've had is truly unprecedented.

1363
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 13: You said, you've told your congressional colleagues that you will

1364
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:54,240
Speaker 13: not sign any piece of legislation until the Save America

1365
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 13: Actors passed. Does that include the confirmation of Senator Mullen

1366
01:26:57,840 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 13: as your next DHS secretary?

1367
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 3: Does that mean a d AS funding bill?

1368
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 13: And Senator Thune said today, it's not a matter of

1369
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:06,719
Speaker 13: whether or not your Republican colleagues agree with the policy.

1370
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 13: It's about changing the process. In other words, getting rid

1371
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:10,400
Speaker 13: of the filibuster to get it.

1372
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 3: So in order to get it, you're going to need

1373
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 3: Democrat votes.

1374
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:16,840
Speaker 4: And what we're saying is the Save America, not the

1375
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:18,920
Speaker 4: Save Act, which nobody knew what it was, the Save

1376
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 4: America Act, the Save America Act, and that's voter ID.

1377
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,559
Speaker 4: We want voter ID, want a voter We want to

1378
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:29,880
Speaker 4: be able to see a picture of the voter. We

1379
01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 4: want to be able to see that the voter is legitimate.

1380
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:38,519
Speaker 4: We want very importantly confirmation that this voter is a

1381
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:41,960
Speaker 4: citizen of the United States of America. And we want

1382
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 4: no in no mail in ballot scams. So we have

1383
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:50,600
Speaker 4: exceptions for the military, for sick, for disabled, and for

1384
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 4: people that are away, business trips or whatever, even vacations.

1385
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 3: Will be very liberal that we've added two things to it.

1386
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:03,760
Speaker 4: No men in when in sports and no transgender mutilization

1387
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:04,759
Speaker 4: of our children.

1388
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 3: We don't want our.

1389
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 4: It's mutilization of our children, and we don't want that.

1390
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:13,679
Speaker 4: So we edited those two things. That's the five points.

1391
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 4: We have five very good points. It polls at eighty

1392
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:20,840
Speaker 4: six percent with Democrats.

1393
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:22,120
Speaker 3: Think of that.

1394
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 4: The overall vote is eighty six percent. With the Republicans

1395
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 4: it's ninety eight percent. And the only one opposed to

1396
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:33,120
Speaker 4: it is a Democrat leadership because they cheat, they want

1397
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 4: to cheat. So we edited those two points. We're going

1398
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 4: for the gold, and we're gonna have to fight like hell. Now,

1399
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 4: certain things will happen, certain things will take place. I'm

1400
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:46,120
Speaker 4: here to do a great job for the country, but

1401
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 4: we don't have a country if we're going to have

1402
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:52,559
Speaker 4: elections that are so corrupt and so dishonest like we've

1403
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:57,800
Speaker 4: witnessed over the last period of time, you know, as

1404
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 4: an example, I mean, virtually nobody has like we Nobody

1405
01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:07,840
Speaker 4: has a system of mail in ballots like we have.

1406
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 4: No other country in the world. France went away from it.

1407
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 4: They owe it, you know why, because it's corrupt. And

1408
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 4: Jimmy Carter when he had a commission, frankly, I think

1409
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 4: it's probably the best thing Jimmy Carter did. He said,

1410
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 4: you can't have mail in voting because it's inherently dishonest.

1411
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:25,000
Speaker 4: And it's turned out to be totally dishonest. That we're

1412
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:25,680
Speaker 4: going to fight for it.

1413
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:34,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, after Ron activated any sleeper cells inside the US

1414
01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 5: or supports that they have pressed that trigger button to

1415
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:39,760
Speaker 5: activate those seals at least abroad.

1416
01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:41,920
Speaker 4: Well, we've been trying for a long time. We've been

1417
01:29:42,080 --> 01:29:44,760
Speaker 4: very much on top of it. One of the things

1418
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 4: we have to do is get the Democrats to stop

1419
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:50,360
Speaker 4: the Democrats shut down because, as you know, the apparatus

1420
01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 4: that looks into that, Schumer and the Democrats have shut

1421
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:57,400
Speaker 4: it down, which sells you they probably hate our country

1422
01:29:57,439 --> 01:29:59,840
Speaker 4: a lot. But the Democrats have to open that up.

1423
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:03,680
Speaker 4: But we've got very very good intelligence into that. We

1424
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:06,040
Speaker 4: know a lot of different things that have happened that

1425
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:08,400
Speaker 4: have been very bad. A lot of them came in

1426
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:12,639
Speaker 4: during the Biden open border period. But we have them

1427
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:17,639
Speaker 4: under uh. We we've got them. We've we're watching every

1428
01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 4: single one of them. Yeah, we know a lot about them.

1429
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:24,439
Speaker 4: The biggest problem we have is the Democrat shutdown. We

1430
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 4: know a lot about them, but the shutdown doesn't allow

1431
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:28,679
Speaker 4: us to do what.

1432
01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 3: We have to do.

1433
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:30,920
Speaker 4: Leader.

1434
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 6: Do you have to take him out? Does he have

1435
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 6: a target on his bag?

1436
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:36,880
Speaker 3: You mean the new Supreme leader? You mean the sun?

1437
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:38,040
Speaker 6: How can there be an Iran?

1438
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 4: Well, I don't want to I don't want to say that,

1439
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:44,080
Speaker 4: but you know, I was disappointed because we think it's

1440
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:46,080
Speaker 4: going to lead to just more of the same problem

1441
01:30:46,120 --> 01:30:50,040
Speaker 4: for the country. So I was disappointed to see their choice.

1442
01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you.

1443
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,000
Speaker 12: You've said you have someone in mind to be the

1444
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:58,640
Speaker 12: new Iranian leadership, if not the Ayatolas son, What are

1445
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:00,320
Speaker 12: you looking for in that person? Are you looking at

1446
01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:02,839
Speaker 12: someone internal? Given that you just said that their leadership

1447
01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 12: has been done.

1448
01:31:03,280 --> 01:31:07,080
Speaker 4: I like the idea of the you know, internal and eternal,

1449
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 4: come to think of it. But I like the idea

1450
01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:14,559
Speaker 4: of internal because it works well. I mean, I think

1451
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:17,800
Speaker 4: we've proven that so far in Venezuela, and we have

1452
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:22,360
Speaker 4: a woman, Delsey, who has been you know, president of

1453
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 4: the country, very respected, very doing a great job.

1454
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:29,479
Speaker 3: And it's you know, no disruption we had as you.

1455
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:34,000
Speaker 4: Remember Iraq, where everybody got fired, the military got fired,

1456
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:37,960
Speaker 4: the police got fired, the politicians got fired. There was

1457
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 4: nobody and you know what they turned into isis and

1458
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:43,240
Speaker 4: we don't want that.

1459
01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:46,519
Speaker 3: We don't want that. So I would like to see

1460
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:48,479
Speaker 3: people that are inside go.

1461
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:51,720
Speaker 4: Now. They talk about the son of the Shah, they

1462
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:53,280
Speaker 4: talk about other people, but.

1463
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:55,439
Speaker 3: You know, hasn't been there in many, many years.

1464
01:31:56,880 --> 01:32:00,519
Speaker 4: We have a formula that's been very good so far,

1465
01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:03,600
Speaker 4: and I think it'll continue to be good. The relationship

1466
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:09,120
Speaker 4: is extraordinary with Venezuela smart country. We've taken out one

1467
01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:13,639
Speaker 4: hundred million barrels of oil right now in Houston being

1468
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:18,479
Speaker 4: being taken care of and made so beautiful. And you

1469
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 4: have to see this at work. It's brought to the refineries,

1470
01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 4: it's being refined in Houston, which is made exactly for

1471
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:28,520
Speaker 4: that product.

1472
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:30,200
Speaker 3: And so far, but it's.

1473
01:32:30,080 --> 01:32:33,640
Speaker 4: One hundred million barrels of oil and now they have

1474
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:38,320
Speaker 4: another one hundred million barrels coming and it's like a partnership.

1475
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:40,040
Speaker 3: We're getting along so well with them.

1476
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:44,439
Speaker 4: It's great for Venezuela, and it's great for the United States.

1477
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, please go ahead.

1478
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 14: I mister President, you just suggested that Aron somehow got

1479
01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:53,880
Speaker 14: its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary

1480
01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:55,720
Speaker 14: school on the first day of the war. But you're

1481
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:57,880
Speaker 14: the only person in your government saying this. Even your

1482
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 14: Defense secretary wouldn't say that when he was asked standing

1483
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:03,120
Speaker 14: over your shoulder on your plane on Saturday. Why are

1484
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 14: you the only person saying this?

1485
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 3: Because I just don't know enough about it.

1486
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:10,000
Speaker 4: I think it's something that I was told is under investigation.

1487
01:33:10,640 --> 01:33:15,360
Speaker 4: But tomahawks are used by others, as you know, numerous

1488
01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 4: other nations have tomahawks they buy them from US. But

1489
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:22,600
Speaker 4: I will certainly whatever the report shows. I'm willing to

1490
01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:23,519
Speaker 4: live with that report.

1491
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 3: Yeah please.

1492
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,719
Speaker 6: You said earlier that we've already won in many ways,

1493
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:32,920
Speaker 6: but we haven't won enough. What do you consider enough?

1494
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:36,400
Speaker 4: What's your baseline where they're not going to be starting

1495
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:40,679
Speaker 4: the following day to develop a nuclear weapon, where they'll

1496
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:43,040
Speaker 4: look at that man and some other people from the

1497
01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:46,479
Speaker 4: administration and say, all right, we're not going to do it.

1498
01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:48,040
Speaker 3: They were not willing to say that.

1499
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:51,120
Speaker 4: And when Steve called up and he said that to me,

1500
01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:53,120
Speaker 4: I said, well, here we go.

1501
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:54,840
Speaker 3: Let's do it the hard way.

1502
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:57,559
Speaker 4: But the hard way I think is probably the easy way,

1503
01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:01,479
Speaker 4: when basically I can see that they will no longer

1504
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:04,960
Speaker 4: have any capacity whatsoe for a very long period of

1505
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:10,280
Speaker 4: time of developing weaponry that could be used against the

1506
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:14,120
Speaker 4: United States, Israel, or any of our allies. We have

1507
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:17,439
Speaker 4: great allies in the Middle East, great countries in our allies,

1508
01:34:18,640 --> 01:34:20,639
Speaker 4: and they were staying out of it until they got hit.

1509
01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:23,120
Speaker 4: Someday they'll have to do a story why did he

1510
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:25,760
Speaker 4: do that? Why did they do that? But they were

1511
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:27,840
Speaker 4: going to hit them if I didn't hit them first.

1512
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:31,200
Speaker 4: They were going to hit our allies first, I believe

1513
01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:36,400
Speaker 4: upon information and belief, but I believe that he was

1514
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:40,559
Speaker 4: going to They were going to take over the Middle East.

1515
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 4: They were looking to take over the Middle East. Now

1516
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:49,360
Speaker 4: had Operation Midnight Hammer not taking place, that was definite

1517
01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:52,760
Speaker 4: because they would have had a nuclear weapon within a

1518
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:53,519
Speaker 4: matter of weeks.

1519
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:56,760
Speaker 3: But that took place. I was a setback, but.

1520
01:34:56,840 --> 01:34:59,160
Speaker 4: Look at the number of missiles they were able to

1521
01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:02,360
Speaker 4: buy and make over the last six months.

1522
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:07,760
Speaker 1: That is President Trump speaking at Durral, his golf club

1523
01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:11,400
Speaker 1: down in Florida. This is the Dan o'donalds Show. Folks.

1524
01:35:11,439 --> 01:35:15,280
Speaker 1: We do have to continue to play commercial breaks. We're

1525
01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 1: going to try to get back into President Trump's news conference.

1526
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:21,400
Speaker 1: Obviously a lot of developments here. We're going to recap

1527
01:35:21,479 --> 01:35:25,360
Speaker 1: everything he said when we come back just three minutes, spucks,

1528
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:27,479
Speaker 1: We're gonna be away for just three minutes. We'll get

1529
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:30,360
Speaker 1: back into the President have reaction as well. You're listening

1530
01:35:30,360 --> 01:35:39,120
Speaker 1: to the Dan o'donald Show. Welcome back to the Dan

1531
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:41,840
Speaker 1: o'donald Show. I had to take a brief break in there.

1532
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:44,840
Speaker 1: Let's go back to Actually, I think President Trump is

1533
01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:50,280
Speaker 1: he's about wrapping up his press conference, a lengthy press conference,

1534
01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:56,799
Speaker 1: relatively lengthy by President Trump's standards, talking obviously at length

1535
01:35:57,040 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 1: about the Iran war, described the ongoing military operation as

1536
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:07,519
Speaker 1: quote very complete, pretty much, said, the US and Israel

1537
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 1: have achieved major strides toward completing our military objective. We've

1538
01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:17,080
Speaker 1: wiped out every single force in Iran very completely. He said.

1539
01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:21,960
Speaker 1: The Navy, Air Force, missile capability, drone capability, of manufacturing

1540
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:28,120
Speaker 1: capabilities have been largely destroyed. Five thousand targets have apparently

1541
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 1: been struck in about a week and three days. He

1542
01:36:31,320 --> 01:36:34,960
Speaker 1: says this was a preemptive action. Iran had been planning

1543
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:38,320
Speaker 1: attacks within a week and was on track for nuclear

1544
01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:42,760
Speaker 1: weapons within two weeks to four weeks, he said. Now,

1545
01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 1: this is a significant development, as it was widely believed,

1546
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:51,040
Speaker 1: at least for a while after the destruction of the

1547
01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:55,000
Speaker 1: four to nuclear facility in that Israeli strike or excuse me,

1548
01:36:55,000 --> 01:37:01,280
Speaker 1: and that American strike in the summer, that Iran's nuclear

1549
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:06,519
Speaker 1: capability was severely crippled. So for the President to say

1550
01:37:06,680 --> 01:37:11,439
Speaker 1: that there could have been a nuclear weapon within two

1551
01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:14,960
Speaker 1: to four weeks now, we don't know, and probably the

1552
01:37:15,040 --> 01:37:18,720
Speaker 1: President is not going to say just how close when

1553
01:37:18,720 --> 01:37:21,439
Speaker 1: that means. Does that mean enriched uranium? Does that mean

1554
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:25,960
Speaker 1: weapons grade caliber enriched uranium? Does that mean there's also

1555
01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:28,479
Speaker 1: going to be a delivery mechanism on some sort of

1556
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:33,360
Speaker 1: ballistic missile. If so, what sort of range is that missile?

1557
01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:36,200
Speaker 1: There are a lot of questions there. He also said

1558
01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:41,800
Speaker 1: Israel could be annihilated. He also addressed the timeline for

1559
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:45,000
Speaker 1: the ongoing operation, saying it's going to be ended very soon.

1560
01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:48,000
Speaker 1: We're very proud to be involved in this. He said

1561
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:51,280
Speaker 1: it won't necessarily end next week, but it is a

1562
01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 1: short term excursion to eliminate evil, and the US is

1563
01:37:56,280 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule. He said this earlier this afternoon at

1564
01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:03,320
Speaker 1: an address to members of Congress. He said the US

1565
01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:07,920
Speaker 1: is ahead of schedule by a lot. He was also

1566
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:11,679
Speaker 1: asked about the naming of a new Ayatola, the son

1567
01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:17,360
Speaker 1: of the last Ayatola, Mushtaba Khamane. He was named as

1568
01:38:17,400 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 1: the new Supreme Leader over the weekend. The president said

1569
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:23,479
Speaker 1: he is not happy about that, suggests Iran should put

1570
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:26,040
Speaker 1: a president ahead of the country that is willing to

1571
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:28,879
Speaker 1: do something peacefully for a change. Now, what he's talking

1572
01:38:28,920 --> 01:38:34,599
Speaker 1: about is akin to the situation in Venezuela. Where Nicholas

1573
01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:38,680
Speaker 1: Maduro was taken out. He was arrested and he was

1574
01:38:38,720 --> 01:38:43,520
Speaker 1: brought up on charges of narcotics operations, and Dulci Rodriguez,

1575
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 1: the vice president, was essentially installed because she had the

1576
01:38:47,479 --> 01:38:51,640
Speaker 1: backing of the media. Obviously, there needs to be a

1577
01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 1: democratic revolution in Venezuela. Socialism cannot continue long term. It

1578
01:38:58,240 --> 01:39:02,040
Speaker 1: is destroyed. One of the wealthiest nations in South America.

1579
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:06,880
Speaker 1: Before Hugo Chavez took over and he took control, Venezuela

1580
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:10,679
Speaker 1: was incredibly oil rich, but a generation of socialist rule

1581
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:16,400
Speaker 1: made Venezuela one of the poorer nations. Hyper Inflation destroyed

1582
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:21,519
Speaker 1: that country's economy. He installed Dulci Rodriguez the vice president

1583
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 1: because she had the backing of the military. That is

1584
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:27,919
Speaker 1: a short term bridge solution which I think the president

1585
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:32,160
Speaker 1: was hoping for. In Iran, the last remaining holdouts, though

1586
01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:37,839
Speaker 1: are still loyal to the Ayatola. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince,

1587
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:42,920
Speaker 1: the grandson of the last shaw of Iran, has said

1588
01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:45,240
Speaker 1: that he is standing at the ready to be a

1589
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:49,800
Speaker 1: transitional leader once the remnants of the Ayatola and the

1590
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:54,160
Speaker 1: Mullahs are defeated. And the thinking here is that there

1591
01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:56,559
Speaker 1: is going to be a popular uprising, because you might

1592
01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:58,720
Speaker 1: remember one of the things that sort of led to

1593
01:39:58,800 --> 01:40:01,280
Speaker 1: this was a cup of weeks ago there was a

1594
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:06,040
Speaker 1: massive uprising, the single biggest threat to the Ayatola's rule

1595
01:40:06,280 --> 01:40:09,439
Speaker 1: in forty seven years before. Of course, the bombs started

1596
01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:14,080
Speaker 1: falling a week ago Saturday. That popular uprising led to,

1597
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 1: by most estimates, ten thousand to thirty thousand protesters being

1598
01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: gunned down in the street. And you might recall President

1599
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:27,080
Speaker 1: Trump was being criticized as a chicken. Remember it was

1600
01:40:27,160 --> 01:40:31,520
Speaker 1: Taco Trump. Trump always chickens out Taco Taco.

1601
01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 3: He didn't.

1602
01:40:35,200 --> 01:40:40,160
Speaker 1: The hope is that the Iranians either returned to a

1603
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:44,200
Speaker 1: ruling royal family, which I think is pretty unlikely in

1604
01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:47,559
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, but maybe the Shaw returns, the grandson

1605
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:49,560
Speaker 1: of the Shaw returns as sort of a figurehead of

1606
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:55,080
Speaker 1: transitional government before there is a democratically elected Iran. Remember

1607
01:40:55,200 --> 01:40:59,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people inside Iran, they have been brutalized,

1608
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:03,040
Speaker 1: they have been a pro they hated this regime. Is

1609
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:05,759
Speaker 1: it likely that they would vote for the exact same people,

1610
01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:09,519
Speaker 1: not at all. Is it possible that they vote for

1611
01:41:09,880 --> 01:41:12,479
Speaker 1: someone more radical? I don't know how much more radical

1612
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:16,200
Speaker 1: you can be than the Ayatola and his band of fanatics.

1613
01:41:16,640 --> 01:41:19,880
Speaker 1: But yes, that's always the risk you run. But this

1614
01:41:20,080 --> 01:41:24,360
Speaker 1: is not going to be an ongoing generational conflict with

1615
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:28,800
Speaker 1: an American presence in the country for twenty years now.

1616
01:41:28,920 --> 01:41:33,720
Speaker 1: President was also asked about oil prices. We hit what

1617
01:41:33,800 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixteen dollars a barrel before dropping to

1618
01:41:37,320 --> 01:41:39,120
Speaker 1: eighty four dollars a barrel. We have now set a

1619
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 1: record by the way oil futures have dropped, single biggest

1620
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:46,760
Speaker 1: one day drop in the history of the oil futures market. Now,

1621
01:41:46,800 --> 01:41:50,840
Speaker 1: Trump is warning Iran against any sort of interference with

1622
01:41:50,920 --> 01:41:54,439
Speaker 1: global oil supplies. He said, quote, I will not allow

1623
01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:57,400
Speaker 1: a terrorist regime to hold the world hostage and attempt

1624
01:41:57,439 --> 01:42:00,679
Speaker 1: to stop the globe's oil supply, saying so action would

1625
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:07,040
Speaker 1: bring hits at a much much harder level with incalculable consequences.

1626
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:12,120
Speaker 1: So the President is giving his update on the war

1627
01:42:12,280 --> 01:42:15,040
Speaker 1: in Iran, which he says is going much better than

1628
01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:17,320
Speaker 1: he thought it would. He said, we are on a

1629
01:42:17,400 --> 01:42:20,680
Speaker 1: much faster pace than he thought we would be on

1630
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:23,839
Speaker 1: for taking out this regime and at last remaining remnants

1631
01:42:24,320 --> 01:42:27,160
Speaker 1: and frankly, you might be hearing a whole lot of

1632
01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:29,559
Speaker 1: doom and gloom from the national media, and you might

1633
01:42:29,560 --> 01:42:31,760
Speaker 1: be hearing a whole lot of doom and gloom from

1634
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:37,160
Speaker 1: the alt right podcast set. But frankly, folks, I don't

1635
01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:40,200
Speaker 1: see how this operation could be going any better.

1636
01:42:40,280 --> 01:42:40,439
Speaker 3: Now.

1637
01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:45,320
Speaker 1: We can debate the wisdom of it, but if President

1638
01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:48,640
Speaker 1: Trump and Secretary of State Rubio are to be believed,

1639
01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 1: you can't base this sort of decision on how it's

1640
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:55,479
Speaker 1: going to play in the midterm elections. If Iran really

1641
01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:59,920
Speaker 1: was that close to nuclear armament, and if they were

1642
01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:02,840
Speaker 1: really that close to some sort of attack on the

1643
01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:07,000
Speaker 1: United States or its ally, Israel, or any sort of

1644
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:10,559
Speaker 1: attack that would have led to mass global instability, which frankly,

1645
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:15,320
Speaker 1: any sort of large scale Iranian attack would have, then

1646
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:19,599
Speaker 1: we really didn't have too much of a choice here. Yes,

1647
01:43:19,680 --> 01:43:26,639
Speaker 1: President Trump did say no foreign entanglements to me. Taking

1648
01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:30,599
Speaker 1: out two despotic regimes in the span of two months

1649
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:34,240
Speaker 1: with minimal American casualties so far, I believe the death

1650
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 1: toll for American troops is seven. No American boots on

1651
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:42,639
Speaker 1: the ground. I don't see how that's a violation of

1652
01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:48,760
Speaker 1: his pledge. The reality is there is good in this world.

1653
01:43:48,800 --> 01:43:52,679
Speaker 1: And there is evil. And it's been almost twenty five

1654
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:58,480
Speaker 1: years since America experienced firsthand the extent of the chaos

1655
01:43:58,960 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 1: and the bloodshed that that evil can bring. Folks in

1656
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:08,639
Speaker 1: nuclear armed Iran would have made nine to eleven look

1657
01:44:08,760 --> 01:44:11,599
Speaker 1: like a day at the park instead of the darkest

1658
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:17,320
Speaker 1: day in American history. These are the worst people on Earth,

1659
01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:22,000
Speaker 1: potentially arming themselves with the most dangerous weapons this planet

1660
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:27,360
Speaker 1: has ever seen. Forget about politics, forget about campaign promises,

1661
01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:31,080
Speaker 1: forget about whether or not you like the state of Israel.

1662
01:44:32,040 --> 01:44:36,559
Speaker 1: That's a threat to the entire planet. That's a threat

1663
01:44:36,640 --> 01:44:44,240
Speaker 1: to existence. And I thank god that we had a

1664
01:44:44,320 --> 01:44:50,400
Speaker 1: president ballsy enough to give that order to strike. And

1665
01:44:50,800 --> 01:44:54,920
Speaker 1: yes it was by the way, this is I'm just frankly, folks,

1666
01:44:54,960 --> 01:44:58,799
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of the anti Semitic conspiracy theories coming

1667
01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:02,559
Speaker 1: from both left and rankly fringes of the alt right, saying, oh,

1668
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:05,759
Speaker 1: it's Bibby neton Yahoo. It was Netan Yahoo forced Trump

1669
01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:08,720
Speaker 1: to do it. Did you ever stop to think that

1670
01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:12,280
Speaker 1: maybe it's Trump, Maybe it's the United States, the most

1671
01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:15,360
Speaker 1: powerful nation the world has ever seen by a factor

1672
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:19,040
Speaker 1: of about ten. You don't think it's him ordering the

1673
01:45:19,160 --> 01:45:22,679
Speaker 1: israelis around. It's gotta be the Jews that are secretly

1674
01:45:22,720 --> 01:45:29,240
Speaker 1: controlling everything. Huh, can't be Trump? You really think Trump, Trump,

1675
01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:36,759
Speaker 1: with his ego, is gonna take orders from Bibby.

1676
01:45:37,760 --> 01:45:38,120
Speaker 3: Okay.

1677
01:45:41,680 --> 01:45:47,640
Speaker 1: The reality is this was forty seven years overdue. We

1678
01:45:47,720 --> 01:45:50,240
Speaker 1: have been in a war with Iran, whether or not

1679
01:45:50,320 --> 01:45:55,000
Speaker 1: we wanted to admit it since the buffoon Jimmy Carter

1680
01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:59,480
Speaker 1: allowed the Shah to fall and the Ayatola to return

1681
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:07,519
Speaker 1: to Iran. Iotola Komini's return to power, the emboldening not

1682
01:46:07,640 --> 01:46:11,439
Speaker 1: just of the Islamist regime in Iran but the entire

1683
01:46:11,520 --> 01:46:16,080
Speaker 1: Middle East. It set that entire region on fire, culminating

1684
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 1: with nine to eleven, culminating with all of the chaos

1685
01:46:20,120 --> 01:46:22,960
Speaker 1: and bloodshed that we start looking throughout the eighties and nineties,

1686
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:29,960
Speaker 1: Coobar Towers, USS Coal military barracks in Beirut, the list

1687
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:31,880
Speaker 1: goes on and on and on. All of that was

1688
01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:35,000
Speaker 1: Iran and its proxies. All of that was being put

1689
01:46:35,080 --> 01:46:38,160
Speaker 1: all of the attacks on Iran October seventh in Israel,

1690
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:42,760
Speaker 1: all the attacks on Israel, all the attacks globally. The

1691
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:45,920
Speaker 1: idea that Trump just woke up one day, Senator Tammy

1692
01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:48,879
Speaker 1: Baldwin calling this a war of convenience, a war of choice.

1693
01:46:51,600 --> 01:46:54,200
Speaker 1: The side that chose to go to war was the

1694
01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:58,280
Speaker 1: eye in told turns out America's way better at war

1695
01:46:58,400 --> 01:47:02,040
Speaker 1: than hees. You're listening the Dan o'donald Show. Conservative thought,

1696
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:12,960
Speaker 1: not just talking. Welcome back to the Dan o'donald's show.

1697
01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:16,120
Speaker 1: Sorry to keep you waiting. There is that bumper muser

1698
01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:20,320
Speaker 1: that bumper music slaps, as the kids say. Do the

1699
01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:24,080
Speaker 1: kids still say it slaps? Probably not. I'm an old man,

1700
01:47:24,160 --> 01:47:27,280
Speaker 1: Give me a break. It is conservative thought and not

1701
01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:32,480
Speaker 1: just talk. The Milwaukee Common Councils Steering and Rules Committee

1702
01:47:33,040 --> 01:47:36,360
Speaker 1: has unanimously passed and moved on to the full Common

1703
01:47:36,439 --> 01:47:40,920
Speaker 1: Council a piece of the anti Ice Ice Out MKE

1704
01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 1: initiative that bans ICE agents from all city owned property

1705
01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:53,280
Speaker 1: like parking garages, like parks, like any public place that

1706
01:47:53,439 --> 01:48:00,519
Speaker 1: is owned by this city. This is completely and totally unconstantitutional.

1707
01:48:01,479 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 1: While cities are not obligated to cooperate in federal law

1708
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:12,639
Speaker 1: enforcement operations, they are not allowed to actively interfere with them.

1709
01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:21,599
Speaker 1: For people who scream all the time about supremacy, white supremacy, whatever,

1710
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:27,240
Speaker 1: Democrats really have no idea about the supremacy Clause of

1711
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:32,240
Speaker 1: the Constitution. I feel like I repeat myself every single

1712
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:34,519
Speaker 1: day here on the Dan O'Donnell Show, just trying to

1713
01:48:34,600 --> 01:48:40,559
Speaker 1: teach you libs some basic constitutional knowledge. The supremacy Clause

1714
01:48:41,200 --> 01:48:44,679
Speaker 1: states very simply that the Constitution is the supreme law

1715
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:48,000
Speaker 1: of the land, and all law flows from the Constitution.

1716
01:48:48,760 --> 01:48:55,080
Speaker 1: Federal law is always going to trump state law. State

1717
01:48:55,200 --> 01:49:02,320
Speaker 1: law will always trump municipal law. Ample ordinance cannot trump

1718
01:49:02,560 --> 01:49:09,280
Speaker 1: state law. A municipal ordinance certainly cannot trump federal law. Now,

1719
01:49:09,760 --> 01:49:15,400
Speaker 1: under federal law, are ICE agents authorized to operate and

1720
01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:21,080
Speaker 1: to conduct legitimate law enforcement operations in the City of Milwaukee? Yes?

1721
01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:21,519
Speaker 3: They are.

1722
01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:26,720
Speaker 1: Are they authorized to conduct legitimate law enforcement operations? And

1723
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:31,519
Speaker 1: let's just be clear, just because Jose Perez, the Milwaukee

1724
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:37,360
Speaker 1: Common Council President, and Joe Costa Zamaripa, a Common Council member,

1725
01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:40,360
Speaker 1: don't believe that these operations are legitimate, that does not

1726
01:49:40,680 --> 01:49:48,040
Speaker 1: negate their legitimacy in the eyes of federal law. If

1727
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:54,880
Speaker 1: an ICE agent is chasing a suspect and that suspect

1728
01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 1: goes into a parking garage, do they get to claim

1729
01:49:58,400 --> 01:50:02,120
Speaker 1: sanctuary because the parking garage is owned by the City

1730
01:50:02,160 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 1: of Milwaukee. They most certainly do not. Does the ICE

1731
01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:10,559
Speaker 1: agent's power just sort of magically stop. It does not,

1732
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:14,640
Speaker 1: because that would interfere with a legitimate federal law enforcement

1733
01:50:15,200 --> 01:50:20,920
Speaker 1: investigation or operation. It is a legal and constitutional impossibility

1734
01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:25,400
Speaker 1: for a municipal ordinance to thus interfere with a federal

1735
01:50:25,479 --> 01:50:29,360
Speaker 1: operation or to in any way conflict with federal law.

1736
01:50:29,400 --> 01:50:32,720
Speaker 1: And since federal law says, all right, ice agents, you

1737
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:37,200
Speaker 1: are absolutely deputized and authorized to take illegal aliens into

1738
01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:42,200
Speaker 1: custody in any municipality, in any public place. And here

1739
01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 1: are some specific rules that you might need a judicial

1740
01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:48,040
Speaker 1: warrant if you want to go into a private residence

1741
01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:52,200
Speaker 1: or something like that, but generally speaking, in public places,

1742
01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:57,320
Speaker 1: and yes, parking garages and parks and other city owned property,

1743
01:50:57,320 --> 01:51:00,360
Speaker 1: a city owned landfill or something like that, that is

1744
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:06,600
Speaker 1: absolutely authorized for an ICE agent to conduct an arrest.

1745
01:51:07,560 --> 01:51:11,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if we have just constitutionally and legally

1746
01:51:11,840 --> 01:51:15,599
Speaker 1: illiterate people on the Milwaukee Common Council, or if they

1747
01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:19,160
Speaker 1: just believe that the people who support them are legally

1748
01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:22,080
Speaker 1: and constitutionally illiterate and they're trying to do this virtue

1749
01:51:22,080 --> 01:51:25,400
Speaker 1: signaling stuff, knowing full well that a federal judge is

1750
01:51:25,400 --> 01:51:28,000
Speaker 1: going to strike it down the second it's challenged. And

1751
01:51:28,080 --> 01:51:30,599
Speaker 1: here's hoping our friends at the Wisconsin Institute of Law

1752
01:51:30,640 --> 01:51:35,320
Speaker 1: and Liberty do just that, because this quite frankly is

1753
01:51:35,360 --> 01:51:39,320
Speaker 1: trying to turn Wisconsin or Milwaukee into a sanctuary city,

1754
01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:42,599
Speaker 1: inasmuch as it's not already a sanctuary city for all

1755
01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:47,519
Speaker 1: intents and purposes is but now we're getting to a

1756
01:51:47,560 --> 01:51:52,120
Speaker 1: point where you have got people in power in the

1757
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:56,800
Speaker 1: city of Milwaukee so paranoid that ICE agents might be

1758
01:51:56,880 --> 01:51:59,520
Speaker 1: coming to this city just like they came to Minneapolis

1759
01:51:59,560 --> 01:52:04,240
Speaker 1: two months ago, that they're putting into place ordinances that

1760
01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:10,200
Speaker 1: absolutely are unconstitutional, that absolutely will not stand even the

1761
01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 1: most basic challenge, and absolutely do nothing, nothing except to

1762
01:52:17,040 --> 01:52:21,240
Speaker 1: virtue signal for the preening politicians in front of their

1763
01:52:21,400 --> 01:52:24,639
Speaker 1: far left radical base. Coming up in just a couple

1764
01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:27,080
Speaker 1: of minutes here on the Dan O'Donnell Show, very very

1765
01:52:27,120 --> 01:52:30,080
Speaker 1: busy first day of free agency for the Green Bay Packers.

1766
01:52:30,080 --> 01:52:33,360
Speaker 1: Two defensive losses and a backup quarterback is good to

1767
01:52:33,400 --> 01:52:42,559
Speaker 1: get his chants as a starter. Three losses for the

1768
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:46,400
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers on this the first day of free

1769
01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:50,080
Speaker 1: agency in the NFL. Lot of movement around the National

1770
01:52:50,120 --> 01:52:53,719
Speaker 1: Football League. The one I just saw is long time

1771
01:52:53,880 --> 01:52:58,600
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans surprisingly signs a

1772
01:52:58,640 --> 01:53:01,240
Speaker 1: free agent deal with the San Francis Go forty nine Ers.

1773
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:07,120
Speaker 1: The Packers trade away a guy who was expected to

1774
01:53:07,240 --> 01:53:12,200
Speaker 1: be a massive star to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange

1775
01:53:12,240 --> 01:53:15,000
Speaker 1: for a fourth round pick. The latest news and this

1776
01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:17,680
Speaker 1: just broke maybe i'd say about forty five minutes ago.

1777
01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:20,680
Speaker 1: Kway Walker high round draft pick. Was he a first

1778
01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:22,680
Speaker 1: round draft pick? Producer Doug Ye, He's a first round

1779
01:53:22,760 --> 01:53:27,639
Speaker 1: draft pick, again, expected to be a star. He goes

1780
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:30,519
Speaker 1: from the Packers. He signs a free agent offer with

1781
01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:34,280
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders, and of course, a guy that

1782
01:53:34,360 --> 01:53:37,240
Speaker 1: we all loved and a guy that we all wish

1783
01:53:37,360 --> 01:53:41,559
Speaker 1: the best, Malik Willis, signs a free agent contract with

1784
01:53:41,720 --> 01:53:47,519
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Malik's deal is about twenty million dollars

1785
01:53:47,560 --> 01:53:50,920
Speaker 1: a year. He's going to get forty five million dollars guaranteed.

1786
01:53:50,960 --> 01:53:56,599
Speaker 1: According to Adam Schefter, three years sixty seven point five

1787
01:53:56,760 --> 01:54:00,720
Speaker 1: million dollars with forty five million fully guarant he is

1788
01:54:01,120 --> 01:54:04,840
Speaker 1: almost certainly going to be the starting quarterback for the Dolphins,

1789
01:54:04,880 --> 01:54:07,160
Speaker 1: because well, first of all, you don't sign that kind

1790
01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:09,559
Speaker 1: of free agent deal with the expectation that you're gonna

1791
01:54:09,560 --> 01:54:14,800
Speaker 1: sit the bench. But also the Dolphins waived longtime start.

1792
01:54:14,840 --> 01:54:18,040
Speaker 1: I believe he had seven seasons in Miami and unfortunately

1793
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:23,360
Speaker 1: a career just completely derailed by injuries. And that was

1794
01:54:23,920 --> 01:54:27,960
Speaker 1: to a tag of aaloa. Because to ahead all the

1795
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:30,600
Speaker 1: talent in the world, it is believed that he is

1796
01:54:30,680 --> 01:54:33,880
Speaker 1: very likely going to sign with the Arizona Cardinals, who

1797
01:54:34,480 --> 01:54:38,400
Speaker 1: cut bait with their former number one overall draft pick

1798
01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:42,600
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, who is expected to potentially go to the

1799
01:54:42,640 --> 01:54:46,200
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. That would be funny if only the Vikings

1800
01:54:46,200 --> 01:54:48,600
Speaker 1: could get a guy like the quarterback who just won

1801
01:54:48,640 --> 01:54:51,120
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, Sam Darnold. If only they had a

1802
01:54:51,160 --> 01:54:55,080
Speaker 1: guy like that who just you know, pinpoint accuracy, tough guy,

1803
01:54:55,200 --> 01:54:58,240
Speaker 1: great leader. Too bad the Vikings will just they'd never

1804
01:54:58,280 --> 01:55:01,040
Speaker 1: get a quarterback like Sam Dart. They would never a wait,

1805
01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:06,160
Speaker 1: but earlier today, Rashawn Gary goes from the Packers to

1806
01:55:06,280 --> 01:55:11,960
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. A late round schefter said, late round,

1807
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:15,720
Speaker 1: I thought we agreed that that was a fourth fourth

1808
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:18,720
Speaker 1: round pick. Fourth round pick in the twenty twenty seven

1809
01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:24,880
Speaker 1: NFL Draft. Gary was very productive playing alongside Micah Parsons,

1810
01:55:24,880 --> 01:55:27,120
Speaker 1: but he was just I mean, he disappeared when he

1811
01:55:27,160 --> 01:55:30,640
Speaker 1: haves seven and a half eight sacks in the half

1812
01:55:30,680 --> 01:55:33,600
Speaker 1: a season he played with Parsons. Parson of course, goes

1813
01:55:33,640 --> 01:55:38,600
Speaker 1: down in that Denver game, and Gary just disappears. He

1814
01:55:38,680 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 1: got a big contract and just was not worth it.

1815
01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:45,360
Speaker 1: The Packers clearly needed salary cap space, and now they've

1816
01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:51,280
Speaker 1: got it. They did pick up another edge rusher defensive

1817
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:55,360
Speaker 1: end in Zaire Franklin. They get him from the Indianapolis

1818
01:55:55,400 --> 01:55:57,879
Speaker 1: Colts a couple of days ago. I mean, the Packers

1819
01:55:57,880 --> 01:56:01,840
Speaker 1: aren't really working on revamping this defense. Hopefully Parsons is

1820
01:56:01,880 --> 01:56:03,960
Speaker 1: back sooner rather than later. I'll tell you, I was

1821
01:56:04,560 --> 01:56:09,400
Speaker 1: very heartened to see Jason Tatum coming back for the

1822
01:56:09,440 --> 01:56:13,520
Speaker 1: Boston Celtics after that torn acl what nine ten months

1823
01:56:14,120 --> 01:56:17,280
Speaker 1: after he first suffered that injury. What's that?

1824
01:56:17,640 --> 01:56:17,800
Speaker 3: Oh?

1825
01:56:18,160 --> 01:56:20,400
Speaker 1: His was an achilles? Why did I You're right, it

1826
01:56:20,440 --> 01:56:22,560
Speaker 1: was it that was in that rash where Dame Dalla

1827
01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:25,200
Speaker 1: where Damian Lillard had the torn achilles too. Yeah, he

1828
01:56:25,240 --> 01:56:27,560
Speaker 1: had a torn achilles the same. Basically, it's a bad

1829
01:56:27,720 --> 01:56:30,000
Speaker 1: tear that used to keep you out for a year plus.

1830
01:56:30,440 --> 01:56:32,920
Speaker 1: My point is that it is good to see guys

1831
01:56:32,920 --> 01:56:35,360
Speaker 1: are able to come back and still be productive a

1832
01:56:35,400 --> 01:56:38,280
Speaker 1: lot quicker than they were because the packers are banking

1833
01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:42,800
Speaker 1: a lot on Micah Parsons and he was an absolutely

1834
01:56:42,840 --> 01:56:47,160
Speaker 1: dominant disruptive force when he was healthy. Out of time

1835
01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:51,480
Speaker 1: for today's show, get out there and enjoy daylight saving.

1836
01:56:51,960 --> 01:56:54,840
Speaker 1: We will be back tomorrow with more of The Dan

1837
01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:58,480
Speaker 1: O Don Show.
