19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: the top stories that we are following right now. President

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: Trump has now confirmed that all six crew members aboard

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: a US CASEY one thirty five refueling aircraft were killed

22
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: in a crash over western Iraq. The military said earlier

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: today this was not due to hostile fire as a

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: result of the excursion in Iran. This as the US

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Israel war with Iran has entered its second week with

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: intensified fighting. President Trump discussed that and more in an

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: interview today with of all people, Jake Paul. Will get

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 1: into that and some words of wisdom from the President

29
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: of the United States from that interview. That's coming up

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: in the Daily Trump Date just after the four o'clock news.

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Then an exclusive story here on the Dan O'Donnell show.

32
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: Why is Governor Evers refusing to hold signing ceremonies for

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: Republican authored bills. It's happened twice with significant pieces of

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: legislation in the past couple of weeks. We will dive

35
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: into that, plus another exclusive story. Democrats want to create

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: a brand new taxing authority with the authority to levy

37
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: new property taxes on you. We'll dive into that at

38
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: about four thirty. Then coming up later this hour, Sylvia

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Ortiz Vallese, Democrat state representative pleads no contest to a

40
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: disorderly conduct charge for allegedly threatening fellow Democrats. But this

41
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: is far from what it seems, and it appears, from

42
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: my view at least to be a political hit orchestrated

43
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: by ortiz Vales's fellow Democrats. That story is coming up

44
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: in just a second here on the Dan O'Donnell Show.

45
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: We begin, though, with a truly remarkable press conference from

46
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: the US Attorney for Washington, DC, you know her as

47
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: Judge Janine Janine Piro, just about a couple of minutes ago,

48
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: I would say, about thirty forty minutes ago, held a

49
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: news conference in Washington, d c d an update on

50
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: the criminal investigation into potentially false statements made before Congress

51
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. You might recall there

52
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: has been an ongoing battle between the Federal Reserve and

53
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: the White House, yes over whether or not to lower

54
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: interest rates, but also over repairs at the Federal Reserve

55
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: headquarters in DC that have topped now a billion dollars,

56
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: that's billion with a b.

57
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: Well.

58
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: President Trump has been sharply critical of those repairs, and

59
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: he has suggested that there might be something nefarious going

60
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: on that they're trying to hide other spending in these

61
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: repair costs. And there was a grand jury investigation that

62
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: was actually launched by Janine Piro's office into Jerome Powell

63
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: whether or not he lied before Congress. Now, regardless of

64
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: what you think about the possible criminal investigation of a

65
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: sitting Federal Reserve chairman making false statements before Congress is

66
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: a crime. It is federal perjury, and it is absolutely

67
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: the subject of what a grand jury can be impaneled

68
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: to investigate. However, as Piro said today about a half

69
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: hour ago, in a truly remarkable press conference, a federal

70
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: judge actually quashed all of the subpoenas that the grand

71
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: jury was issuing, it, preventing the grand jury from actually

72
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: investigating a crime. Now, a grand jury, unlike a trial jury,

73
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: actually investigates, and it has presented evidence and determines whether

74
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: or not there is enough evidence sufficient for a criminal charge.

75
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: For example, there was a grand jury impaneled in Milwaukee

76
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: in the highest profile federal case that we've had in

77
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: the past couple of years, the prosecution of now former

78
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan, who was convicted

79
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: last year of helping an illegal alien defendant evade ice

80
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: in her courtroom by smuggling in through the jury room

81
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: doors before that case was able to go to trial,

82
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: before there were charges brought of grand jury had to

83
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: determine whether or not there was sufficient evidence in order

84
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: to bring those charges. What happened today is that a

85
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: federal judge said, not only is there not sufficient evidence,

86
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: the grand jury does not actually get to see any

87
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: of this evidence. In other words, the judiciary was getting

88
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: in between a grand jury, which is a function of

89
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: the prosecution, a function of the executive branch, and the

90
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: potential criminal target. And Janine Piro was having none of it.

91
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: We are going to play an extended segment of her

92
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: press conference. I'm going to interrupt to offer my thoughts

93
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: on what she says. This five minute segment of this

94
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: press conference that just wrapped up about ten to fifteen

95
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: minutes ago is truly remarkable.

96
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: One of the age old tools that all prosecutors have

97
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 3: to investigate any crime, including cost overruns, is a grand

98
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: jury subpoena. Today, however, in Washington, an activist judge has

99
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: taken that tool away from us by inserting himself and

100
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: preventing the Grand Jury from even obtaining, let alone hearing evidence.

101
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: He has neutered the grand jury's ability to investigate crime.

102
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: As a result, Jerome Powell today is now bathed in immunity,

103
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: preventing my office from investigating the Federal Reserve.

104
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: Any guesses as to which federal judge you can get

105
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: every single judge in the Federal Judiciary, every single one,

106
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: but I'll bet you only need one guess. It is,

107
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: in fact, the chief district Judge for the District of Columbia,

108
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: James Bosberg. If that name sounds familiar, it should. He

109
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: has basically done his level best to thwart every single

110
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: thing that the Trump administration has attempted to do. He

111
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: has been overruled a whole bunch of times by higher courts.

112
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: He has been issuing injunctions solely to try to slow

113
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: down the Trump implementation of policy. In other words, he

114
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: has seen his role as being not just an activist,

115
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: but someone who is empowered to try to stop the

116
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: Trump administration. Now what he has done, now, what Piro

117
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: is saying, is actually throw himself in between a lawfully

118
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: issued subpoena. Again, whatever you think about the propriety of

119
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: potentially prosecuting the sitting head of the Federal Reserve just

120
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: before his term as Federal Reserve Chairman ends, which it

121
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: is scheduled to end in May. Whether or not you

122
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: think that was politically motivated, whether or not you think

123
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: that that was appropriate, what is beyond doubt is that

124
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: the subpoena power of a federal prosecutor, the subpoena power

125
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: of a grand jury, the power to impanel a grand

126
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: jury to then weigh evidence against whoever it is that

127
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: is under investigation. That is not something that a judge

128
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: can typically with as scant evidence as Bosberg was relying

129
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: on in his ruling. Get in between. Back to Janine Piro.

130
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 3: This is wrong and it is without legal authority. In

131
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: June of twenty twenty five, jer Own Powell testified before

132
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: the Senate Banking Committee, making quote questionable statements that did

133
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: not comport with publicly available documents, and that was regarding

134
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: the atrocious cost overrun of more than one billion dollars.

135
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,599
Speaker 3: I didn't say million, I said billion in renovations to

136
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 3: his headquarters. This from the man who says that he

137
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 3: is the steward of our public funds. In November, the

138
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 3: United States Attorney's office began an inquiry. Prosecutors from my

139
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: office gathered information from months before we served to grand

140
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 3: jury subpoenas.

141
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 4: On December nineteenth, we.

142
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: Sent an email to the Federal Reserve to have a conversation,

143
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 3: a meeting, or even a phone call to discuss our concerns.

144
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 3: There was no response. On December twenty ninth, we sent

145
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: an email to have a conversation, a meeting, or even

146
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: a phone call to discuss our concerns. Again we were ignored.

147
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: We in fact asked to meet the first week in January.

148
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 4: We were ignored.

149
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: It was at that point that two Grand Journy race

150
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 3: of poenas were issued to the Federal Reserve, not even

151
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: to Jerome Powell.

152
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 4: Again, no response, no.

153
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: Compliance, but instead a woe is Me video by mister Powell,

154
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: falsely claiming that he was being threatened with criminal indictment

155
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: and claiming victim status. Powell proceeds to call his political

156
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: friends in DC and around the world to gin up

157
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: support for himself, all the while refusing to produce simple documents.

158
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: Now you might remember that video.

159
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: Powell was sure to issue it as soon as the

160
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: markets were going to open, As soon as the futures

161
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: markets were opening on a Sunday night. He did this

162
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: intentionally to try to tank the stock market on Monday morning.

163
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, the video was released within probably ten

164
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: minutes of futures marketing, futures markets opening on a Sunday evening.

165
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: It was remarkable the timing that he had there. What

166
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: he was saying was, well, the Trump administration, they're trying

167
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: to harass me, They're trying to get me to lower

168
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: interest rates. There's no possibility whatsoever that this was a

169
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: legitimate investigation. And here is where Bosberg steps in, because

170
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: Bosberg also believes, because he is so biased, impossibly biased

171
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: against the Trump administration, that his ruling just sort of

172
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: assumed that this.

173
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: Was what Jerome Powell said.

174
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: It was that this was a witch hunt, that this

175
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: was an effort to bully him, that this was an

176
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: effort by the Trump administration to get some political outcome,

177
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: ie the lowering of interest rates, never even taking into

178
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: account the possibility and in fact, the evidence is actually

179
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: very strong that Powell did lie before Congress about those

180
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: cost overruns. This is a legitimate function of the United

181
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: States Attorney's Office for the District of Washington, D c

182
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: it can investigate whether people make false statements to Congress,

183
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: whether people make false statements to law enforcement officers, whether

184
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: people are perjuring themselves before bodies where they swear to

185
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: tell the truth, the whole truth. Then nothing, but this

186
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: is a legitimate investigation. In other words, because Powell simply said, well,

187
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm too good of a person to possibly ever have

188
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: done anything wrong, And clearly the bad guy here is

189
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: the Trump administration and Trump specifically, this is an illegitimate investigation. Now,

190
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: of course, this is going to be something that somebody

191
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: says when they're under investigation. It is a line of defense.

192
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't negate the severity of the potential crime, and

193
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: it certainly doesn't provide any authorization for a judge to say, well,

194
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: this is merely pretextual that there is no underlying crime here.

195
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: Clearly there was Back to Piro.

196
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 3: Now enter local District Court Judge James Boseburg, whose written

197
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: decision on his face makes clear his antipathy toward President

198
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: Trump and this administration. He quashes both subpoenas, thereby prohibiting

199
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 3: us from reviewing any records and precluding US from submitting

200
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 3: records to the grand jury. Backgrand jury, of course, comprised

201
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 3: of ordinary people, ladies and gentlemen.

202
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 4: No one is above the law.

203
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: I seem to recall Democrats saying that an awful lot

204
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: when President Trump was charged four different times in four

205
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: different cases, two state and two federal. No one is

206
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: above the law. Right even former presidents have to answer

207
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: for their put to crimes. Apparently current heads of the

208
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: Federal Reserve, though, do not.

209
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 3: But for the first time, the judge is ruling that

210
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: a grand jury subpoena, on its face legal in all regards,

211
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: can be ignored because a judge thinks the subject is

212
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: beyond reproach.

213
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: And that is key here.

214
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: A federal judge does absolutely have the power to quash

215
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: federal subpoenas. However, what is going on here is Boseburg

216
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: on balance is saying Jerome Powell is inherently trustworthy and

217
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: inherently of good character, and the Trump administration is inherently

218
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: of bad character. Ergo, they are only issuing this subpoena

219
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: to get a political outcome that they want, the lowering

220
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: of interest rates. That's a hell of a logical leap

221
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: for a judge to make instead of weighing the actual

222
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: evidence against Powell. Did he in fact lie to Congress?

223
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: Were their cost overruns?

224
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: Yes?

225
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: Did Powell say one thing about cost overruns when he

226
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: was testifying about them, and did contemporaneous reporting about those

227
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: cost overruns counter exactly what Powell said?

228
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: Yes?

229
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: Is that ample evidence? Is that probable cause to allow

230
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: for subpoenas to determine whether or not Powell was lying,

231
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: whether or not Powell committed federal perjury.

232
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 3: This is a decision that is untethered to the law.

233
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 3: It creates chaos where any defendant who wishes to evade

234
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 3: an investigation, guiltier or not, can allege I'm a victim,

235
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 3: I'm being targeted, and therefore.

236
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 4: You cannot investigate me, and if you find the right judge,

237
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: you'll buy it.

238
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: This is the antithesis of American justice. Exonerating anyone without

239
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 3: any records, without an investigation or question is not how

240
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: our criminal justice system works. This judge has put himself

241
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: at the entrance door to the grand jury, slamming that

242
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: door shut, irrespective of the legal process, and thus preventing

243
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: the grand jury from doing the work that it does.

244
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: The long term harm here to not just the grand

245
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: jury process, but to federal prosecutions to the rule of

246
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: law generally is not to be understated. This is a

247
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: very very dangerous slope to go down Bosberg without actually

248
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: examining the evidence that was going to be presented or

249
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: the nature of the investigation into Powell, simply made what

250
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: a s essentially amounts to a summary judgment, saying, Okay, Powell,

251
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 1: good guy Trump, bad guy. Trump clearly put pressure on

252
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: Janine Piro. Piro clearly put pressure on this grand jury.

253
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: We're going to quash this subpoena because Powell couldn't possibly have.

254
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 2: Been a bad guy.

255
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: This must be a case of persecution. Coming up here

256
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: on the Dan O'Donnell Show, I am going to show

257
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: you what political persecution in the form of prosecution actually

258
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: looks like. Sylvia ortiz Valez, a Democrat state representative, today

259
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 1: pleaded no contest to a charge of disorderly conduct that

260
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: a does not seem to fit the criminal complaint against her.

261
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: In other words, it does not look like the behavior

262
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: she is accused of engaging in as outlined in the

263
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: criminal complaint, rises to the leveler meets the statutory definition

264
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: of what we would consider disorderly conduct in this state.

265
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: And two it is very possible. The Wisconsin constitution flatly

266
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: bars this prosecution. She was charged, and she was convicted

267
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: anywhere at least today she pleaded no contest. She is

268
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: going to be convicted. She is going to face ada

269
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: da du three hundred dollars fine. Suffice it to say,

270
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: this was not the most serious prosecution in the world,

271
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: but it was very clearly politically motivated. I'm going to

272
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 1: draw a sharp distinction and dive into what I believe

273
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: to be the worst political persecution in this state in

274
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: quite some time. Stay tuned, Dan O'Donnells show coming right back.

275
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: Not sure how busy the bars are going to be

276
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: this Saint Patrick's Day week, And yes I know Saint

277
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day is actually Tuesday, but a lot of people

278
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: were planning on going out and celebrating. Tonight is going

279
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: to be just fine. Tomorrow night snow is going to start.

280
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: Our freezing rain, ice, sleets, We're going to see all

281
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: of it. Be weather aware, as they say, stay off

282
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 1: the roads if you don't need to be out on Sunday.

283
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: We've been through this a million times before. It's not

284
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: going to be anything out of the ordinary. Even though

285
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: everybody's apple weather app said we were going to get

286
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: about six feet of snow on Wednesday. This, folks, is

287
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: why I am such a big proponent of local news,

288
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: even though I am critical of the insane liberal bias

289
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: of our local news here in Wisconsin. It is very

290
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: necessary local news, local weather, local meteorologists who are actually

291
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: using models instead of just the algos that Apple employs

292
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: through their partnership with the Weather Channel. That can't possibly

293
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: be accurate five days out. And I will remind you again,

294
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: since we have no way of predicting the weather and

295
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: say with any certainty how cold it is going to be,

296
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: or to predict how much snow we're going on to

297
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: get five days away from a storm, how exactly are

298
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: we accurately going to predict what the global temperature is

299
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: going to be five decades from now. Something to think

300
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: about when you are questioning meteorology and the snow.

301
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: Totals this weekend.

302
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: Sylvia Ortiz Valees, Democrat state representative who represents a portion

303
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: of Milwaukee's South Side, pleaded no contest today to a

304
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: charge of disorderly conduct. Now what did she do? Was

305
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: she screaming and hollering? Did she get a little bit

306
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: too drunk at last year's Saint Patrick's Day festivities. No,

307
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: she told a couple of her fellow Democratic reps that

308
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: she was going to go to the media with embarrassing

309
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: information about them. That's disorderly conduct, according to the criminal

310
00:20:55,600 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: complaint against her. This dispute from a long time feud

311
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: that ortiz Valez has had with fellow Democrat Priscilla Prado.

312
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: Now we reported on this extensively here on the Dan

313
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: O'Donnell show. I believe at one point we called it

314
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: the Great Democrat cat Fight of twenty twenty five. Orties

315
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: Valez was very upset that she was not included on

316
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: of all things, a bill dedicating a portion of September

317
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: and October to Hispanic Heritage month. And Prado and she

318
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: got into an email back and forth, which of course

319
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: my sources made me aware of, so we read back

320
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: and forth emails from the two of them. Then there

321
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: were social media posts. It was a good old fashioned

322
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: cat fight, right well. It escalated significantly in November when

323
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: apparently ortiz Valeise was texting people saying, if she brings

324
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: a knife, I'm gonna bring. If she's going to bring

325
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: a gun to a knife fight, you know the old saying,

326
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring AR fifteen. Assembly Minority Leader Greta

327
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: Nubauer actually went to the Capitol police. Now, this is

328
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: clearly a figure of speech. This is clearly do I

329
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: believe a sitting member of the state legislature is going

330
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 1: to shoot up the place with an AR fifteen because

331
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: she's upset over a Hispanic Heritage month bill. No, nobody

332
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: actually believes that it was okay, heated rhetoric. Maybe it

333
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: went a little too far. Maybe if you're an insane

334
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: liberal and you're terrified by the mere mention of an

335
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: AR fifteen, you might get freaked out. Greta Nubauer actually

336
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: went to the Capitol police and had Silvia Ortiz's credentials blocked.

337
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: She was not able to access the capitol. She was

338
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: not able to get into the state Capitol. Now, coincidentally,

339
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: Ortiz Valaise was also as a member of the Milwaukee

340
00:22:53,800 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: County Board, testifying against the apparent Democrat chosen one for

341
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: Governor David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive, on Crowley's alleged

342
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: misbehavior and his alleged illegal seizure of emergency power during COVID.

343
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: This happened right before ortiz Vales was scheduled to testify

344
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: on that It looked an awful lot like political payback.

345
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: It was so ridiculous that as soon as Assembly Speaker

346
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: Robin Voss's office learned that ortiz Valz's credentials had been

347
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: revoked and she was barred from the Capitol, they went

348
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: to the Capitol police and said, look, there is no

349
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: threat here. Obviously you need to allow this woman back

350
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: into the state Capitol. Right after the Assembly's session ended

351
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: last month, ortiz Valez faced criminal charges. Interestingly, though not

352
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: over the supposed threat to bring an ar fifteen to

353
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: a gunfight in a debate over a particular piece of legislation,

354
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: but rather what she had said way back in August

355
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: and September to Greta Neubauer, Priscilla Prado, and Calin Haywood Junior,

356
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 1: fellow Democrat representatives who are listed as Witness one, Witness two,

357
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: and Witness three. Well, I have been able to do

358
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: a little digging and figure out that they are Haywood,

359
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: Newbauer and Priscilla Prado. Ortiz Villez was upset over this

360
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: Hispanic Heritage Month exclusion. She also has been sort of

361
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: a thorn in the side of Democrat leadership. In fact,

362
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: she hasn't caucused with Democrats in quite some time. She

363
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: is a very independent thinker, and she's voted with Republicans

364
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: on a number of bills. She apparently was saying, Okay, Priscilla,

365
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,719
Speaker 1: if you go public with all of this information about me,

366
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: I am going to talk about whatever private information was

367
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: not outlined in the criminal complaint. It was something personal, apparently,

368
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: I am going to go public with you. Haywood and

369
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: Neubauer were witnesses to this, and again they go to

370
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: the Capitol police. This time, instead of just barring Orties

371
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: Valez from the capitol, they file criminal charges.

372
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: Here's the problem.

373
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: According to the Wisconsin Constitution, members of the Wisconsin Legislature

374
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: cannot be arrested during the session or for fifteen days

375
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: after a legislative session ends. It is an open question

376
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: as to whether the state Legislature, the State Assembly, is

377
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: actually still in session. The Legislature is going to be

378
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: in session until Tuesday, Saint Patrick's Day, the last day

379
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: of the legislative year, is when the State Senate meets

380
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: on the floor and they are going to potentially take

381
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: up controversial bills such as online sports betting, nil that

382
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: sort of thing. But the State Assembly is still working

383
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: at the state Capitol. They don't have any floor sessions left.

384
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: But you could make the case that the legislative session,

385
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: the Assembly session, is still ongoing. That would mean it

386
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: is a legal impossibility to arrest or criminally charge someone

387
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: like Sylvia ortizvill Less. Still, I maintain even if the

388
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 1: Assembly session ended after the final floor session, which was

389
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: I believe February twenty first, twenty second, somewhere in there,

390
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: these charges came within fifteen days after. It is very

391
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 1: possible it is a legal impossibility, a constitutional impossibility, that

392
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,719
Speaker 1: this woman was charged to begin with.

393
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 2: But then we get to.

394
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: What she was actually charged with. Disorderly conduct. Now, when

395
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: you think of disorderly conduct, what do you think of

396
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: somebody who's loud and maybe a drunken mess. Maybe there's

397
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: a fight in a bar. Maybe somebody is just being harassing,

398
00:26:54,960 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: just being disorderly in public. Here is the bacheatory requirement

399
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: for a conviction of disorderly conduct. Whoever in a public

400
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: or private place engages in violent, abusive, indecent, profane, boisterous,

401
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: unreasonably loud, or otherwise disorderly conduct under circumstances in which

402
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: the conduct tends to cause or provoke a disturbance, is

403
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: guilty of a class be misdemeanor. Is Sylvia ortiz Villez

404
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: a politician telling another politician, Priscilla Prado, I'm going to

405
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: go to the press to say something about you. Is

406
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: that violent? No abusive, no indecent, no profane, no boisterous,

407
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: no unreasonably loud, no otherwise disorderly.

408
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 5: No.

409
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: This is what politicians do. This is, as the saying goes,

410
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: the game of thrones. When you play the game of thrones,

411
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: you win or you die, or if you're Greta Nubauer,

412
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: you get people who challenge your authority.

413
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: Criminally charged.

414
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: There is no way in which the statutory burden in

415
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: which the burden of proof for a charge of disorderly

416
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: conduct was met. There is no probable cause here. None

417
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: of what Sylvia ortiz Villez is alleged to have done

418
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: is violent, abusive, and decent, profane, boisterous, unreasonably loud, or

419
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 1: otherwise disorderly, and therefore could not be disorderly conduct. So

420
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: why did she plead no contest? We've got a statement

421
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: from her that we will read. She put out a

422
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: press release shortly after she pleaded no contest that nual.

423
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 2: Next Saint Patrick's say bumper music.

424
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: In the Dan O'Donnell Show until the big day, which

425
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: is Tuesday.

426
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 2: What are they say?

427
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: March goes in like a lion and out like a lamb.

428
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: I don't buy that. March this year went in like,

429
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: I don't think a lamb. What would be like a

430
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: mean farm animal, like a bull, Maybe not a bull,

431
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: maybe like a distempered pig. And then it goes then

432
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: you've got like a rabid wolverine at some point in

433
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: the middle, like we're experiencing now, we're apparently going to

434
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: get a blizzard on the IDEs of March in two days,

435
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 1: and then it goes out like a slightly less distempered pig.

436
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: March is easily the worst weather month of the entire

437
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: year here in Wisconsin. Best month for weather well, I

438
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: say July, but I love summer. I love the heat.

439
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: July is also my birthday. You've got the fourth of

440
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: July this year, America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. It's

441
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: going to be Oh, I just I can't wait for

442
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: this summer even though I'm going to be spending most

443
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: of it.

444
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 2: In a knee brace. Yeah.

445
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: For those who don't know, I did tear my ACL

446
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: and my meniscus playing basketball with my son. I've had

447
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: a bad knee for a long time and it finally

448
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: just gave out. It finally just said no, moss, old

449
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: man to the wheelchair for you, and in just scheduled

450
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: the surgery for mid May. I've been doing quite a

451
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: bit of rehab work. I had to get a lot

452
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:28,719
Speaker 1: of testing, MRIs that sort of stuff. Last week. Yeah,

453
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: it was what last Saturday, the twenty eighth, February twenty eighth,

454
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: Tormia is yea. The only person who had a worse

455
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: February twenty eighth than me was the Ayatola Hamine. All right,

456
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: back to our big story today, Sylvia Ortiz Velez pleads

457
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: no contest. That is not a guilty plea. It means

458
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: she is not contesting the charges against her. It sounds

459
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: like a distinction without a difference, But the lawyer in

460
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: me knows that is not true. She did not plead guilty.

461
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: She is not contested the charges. To set up what

462
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen un inevitable appeal she is going to

463
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: appeal the charge. I believe she's got very strong grounds too,

464
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: And I believe she's got a very strong grounds for

465
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: malicious prosecution, for possible intentional deprivation of civil rights. She

466
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: has got any number of potential claims against the Milwaukee

467
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: County District Attorney's office, the Capitol Police. But first and foremost,

468
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: I think she's going to try to get this knocked out.

469
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: That the charge itself, she's going to try to get

470
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: busted out on appeal she wants to. If she pleads guilty,

471
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: then okay, well whatever, a no contest police says, Okay,

472
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm just going to let the process go. She's going

473
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: to pay a three hundred dollars fine, which should tell

474
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: you that the Milwaukee DA's office didn't think that this

475
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: was all that severe of a charge. Class B misdemeanor

476
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: is punishable by up to nine months in jail if

477
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: it was a true disorderly case. What a disorder conduct

478
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: charge typically is is if like, let's say there's a

479
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: bar fight and it's impossible to say who started it,

480
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: so there's no possible charge of a possibility of an

481
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: assault charge or anything like that, everybody involved will just

482
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: get a disorderly conduct charge, and depending on the severity

483
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: at sentencing, you could end up with jail time if

484
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: you've got a long criminal record. Obviously, a state representative

485
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: does not have an extensive criminal record, and there's really

486
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: no indication that she actually did anything that would rise

487
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: to the level of disorderly conduct. Now, why is it

488
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: Democrats are so hot to trot to target one of

489
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: their own because she has been a thorn in their sun.

490
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: Let's go back to February twentieth, one of the last

491
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: days of the legislative session. State Representative Shay Sortwell, a Republican,

492
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: blew the whistle on what apparently has been a common

493
00:32:55,360 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: practice for Democrat leadership. They don't want bills passing with

494
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: any Democrat support. They don't want Republicans to be able

495
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: to say I passed this bipartisan bill. So if they

496
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: get win that a Democrat is going to vote for

497
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: a Republican bill, they actually prevent them from going to

498
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: the floor to vote on it. Short Well actually caught

499
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: Representative Joe Sheehan fleeing from the floor on February twentieth

500
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: instead of voting for the Republican's DPI accountability bill.

501
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 6: As the quorum call was going on this morning, I

502
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 6: was walking to the Assembly chamber and I saw the

503
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 6: represented from the twenty sixth walking the opposite direction. The

504
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 6: represented from Sheboygen walk in the opposite direction and just

505
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 6: laughingly thinking he was going back to his office to

506
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 6: get something. I said, hey, you're going the wrong way.

507
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 6: He laughs, and he keeps walking. And then we get

508
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 6: to the floor and they asked for a leave for

509
00:33:58,280 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 6: their represent from the twenty sixth.

510
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 7: And I I thought to myself, well, what the heck

511
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 7: is going on? And then I thought about a little

512
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 7: bit more.

513
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 6: I forgot that these bills were on the calendar for today,

514
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 6: and we see that maybe this is more of the

515
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 6: same from the other side of the aisle. They don't

516
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 6: want dissent from their side. They want to make sure

517
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 6: that because you know what, the represent for the twenty

518
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 6: sixth voted for some of these bills for accountability for DPI,

519
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 6: and just like they always do, they kick people out

520
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 6: of the building if they won't.

521
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 7: Fall in line.

522
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: That is insanely, insanely unethical. And that kicked off a

523
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 1: huge blowback by Democrats saying no, no, no, we didn't

524
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: do this no, no, no, Democrat leadership would never do this. Now,

525
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: how you might be asking does this relate to Sylvia

526
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: Ortes vals because remember she was criminally charged a couple

527
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: of days after this blow up by Shortwell Well Ortiz

528
00:34:54,560 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: Valaise actually proved that Democrat leadership read a new really

529
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: did kick members off the floor if they dared to

530
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: vote for Republican bills. Representative Nate Gustafson, a Republican, asked

531
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: her flat out on the floor. Hey, Representative Ortiz vill As,

532
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: have you ever been barred from the Assembly floor because

533
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: you were going to vote for a Republican bill?

534
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 8: Thank you, mister speaker.

535
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 9: Real quick, I'd like to ask the gentle lady from

536
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 9: the eighth if she'd yield to a question.

537
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 8: Would the represent from the eighth yield to a question?

538
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 8: Was that yes or not?

539
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 10: Well?

540
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 8: Represent from the eighth will yield to a question.

541
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 9: The question from the question is has the gentle lady

542
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 9: from the eighth ever been told to get off the

543
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 9: floor and not vote for her district.

544
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 11: Representative from the eighth?

545
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 8: Represent from the eighth The answer is yes, Speaker.

546
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: Oh three days later she faces criminal charges.

547
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 2: You get it?

548
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: Yet this was political payback from Greta Nubauer and what

549
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 1: appears to be her allies in the Capitol Police and

550
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: an assistant district attorney in Milwaukee.

551
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: Nothing more.

552
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: The charge was not supported by the alleged misconduct of

553
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,399
Speaker 1: Sylvia or ties Valise did not rise to the level

554
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: of disorderly conduct. In fact, it was standard political hardball,

555
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: and it happened just after ortiz Villeise publicly humiliated Neubauer

556
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: by confirming on the floor of the State Assembly and yes,

557
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: we on this show turned this into a statewide issue

558
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: by posting about it on social media and talking about

559
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: it extensively on the air that afternoon, So she was

560
00:36:51,960 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: embarrassed statewide. She responds by bringing politically motivated charge Chase

561
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: despicable conduct by.

562
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's day bumper.

563
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: Music in the Dan o'donald Show until the Big Day

564
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: which is Tuesday. Uh, what do they say, March goes

565
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 1: in like a lion and out like a lamb. I

566
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 1: don't buy that. March this year went in like I

567
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: don't think a lamb. What would be like a mean

568
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 1: farm animal, like a bull, Maybe not a bull, maybe

569
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: like a distempered pig. And then it goes then you've

570
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: got like a rabid wolverine at some point in the middle,

571
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: like we're experiencing now. We're apparently going to get a

572
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: blizzard on the IDEs of March in two days, and

573
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: then it goes out like a slightly less distempered pig.

574
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: March is easily the worst weather month of the entire

575
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: year here in Wisconsin. Best month for weather, well, I say, July,

576
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: but I love summer. I love the heat. July is

577
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 1: also my birthday. You've got the fourth of July this year,

578
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 1: America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.

579
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 2: It's going to be Oh. I just I can't wait

580
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: for this summer.

581
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: Even though I'm going to be spending most of it.

582
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 2: In a knee brace. Yeah.

583
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: For those who don't know, I did tear my acl

584
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: and my meniscus playing basketball with my son. I've had

585
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: a bad knee for a long time and it finally

586
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 1: just gave out. It finally just said no, moss, old man,

587
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: to the wheelchair for you and in I just scheduled

588
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: the surgery.

589
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 2: For mid May. I've been doing quite a bit of

590
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 2: rehab work.

591
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: I had to get a lot of testing, MRIs that

592
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. Last week yeah, it was what last Saturday,

593
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: the twenty eighth, February twenty eighth, tormaie is yea. The

594
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 1: only person who had a worse February twenty eighth than

595
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 1: me was the Ayatola Hamine. All right, back to our

596
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: big story today, Silvia ortiz Villez pleads no contest. That

597
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: is not a guilty plea. It means she is not

598
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: contesting the charges against her. It sounds like a distinction

599
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: without a difference. But the lawyer in me knows that

600
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: is not true. She did not plead guilty. She is

601
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: not contesting the charges to set up what ladies and

602
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: gentlemen uninevitable appeal. She is going to appeal the charge,

603
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: and I believe she's got very strong grounds too.

604
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 2: And I believe she's.

605
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 1: Got very strong grounds for malicious prosecution, for possible intentional

606
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: deprivation of civil rights. She has got any number of

607
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: potential claims against the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office, the

608
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: Capitol Police. But first foremost, I think she's going to

609
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: try to get this knocked out. That the charge itself,

610
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: she's going to try to get busted out on appeal.

611
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 2: She wants to.

612
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: If she pleads guilty, then okay, well whatever, a no

613
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: contest police says, Okay, I'm just gonna let the process go.

614
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: She's going to pay a three hundred dollars fine, which

615
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 1: should tell you that the Milwaukee DA's office didn't think

616
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: that this was all that severe of a charge. Class

617
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: B misdemeanor is punishable by up to nine months in

618
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: jail if it was a true disorderly case. What a

619
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: disorderly conduct charge typically is is if like, let's say

620
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: there's a bar fight and it's impossible to say who

621
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: started it, so there's no possible charge of a possibility

622
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: of an assault charge or anything like that, everybody involved

623
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: will just get a disorderly conduct charge, and depending on

624
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: the severity at sentencing, you could end up with jail

625
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: time if you've got a long criminal record. Obviously a

626
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: state representative does not have an extensive criminal record, and

627
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: there's really no indication and that she actually did anything

628
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: that would rise to the level of disorderly conduct. Now,

629
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 1: why is it democrats are so hot to trot to

630
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: target one of their own because she has been a

631
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: thorn in their son. Let's go back to February twentieth,

632
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: one of the last days of the legislative session, State

633
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 1: Representative Shay Sortwell, a Republican, blew the whistle on what

634
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: apparently has been a common practice for Democrat leadership. They

635
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: don't want bills passing with any Democrat support. They don't

636
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: want Republicans to be able to say I passed this

637
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: bipartisan bill. So if they get win that a Democrat

638
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: is going to vote for a Republican bill, they actually

639
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: prevent them from going to the floor to vote on it.

640
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: Sort Well actually caught Representative Joe Sheehan fleeing from the

641
00:41:54,800 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: floor on February twentieth instead of voting for the Republicans

642
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: DPI accountability bills.

643
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 6: As the quorum call was going on this morning, I

644
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 6: was walking to the Assembly chamber and I saw the

645
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 6: represented from the twenty sixth walking the opposite direction. The

646
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 6: represented from Schboygen walk in the opposite direction and just

647
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 6: laughingly thinking he was going back to his office to

648
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 6: get something. I said, hey, you're going the wrong way.

649
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:26,879
Speaker 6: He laughs, and he keeps walking. And then we get

650
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 6: to the floor and they ask for a leave for

651
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 6: the represent from the twenty sixth, and I thought to myself, well,

652
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 6: what the heck is going on?

653
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 7: And then I thought about a little bit more.

654
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,760
Speaker 6: I forgot that these bills were on the calendar for today,

655
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 6: and we see that maybe this is more of the

656
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 6: same from the other side of the aisle.

657
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 7: They don't want dissent from their side.

658
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 6: They want to make sure that because you know what,

659
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 6: the represent for the twenty sixth voted for some of

660
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 6: these bills for accountability for DPI, and just like they

661
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 6: always do, they kick people out of the building if

662
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 6: they won't fall in line.

663
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 1: That is insanely, insanely unethical, and that kicked off a

664
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 1: huge blowback by Democrats saying no, no, no, we didn't

665
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: do this, No, no, no, Democrat leadership would never do this. Now,

666
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: how you might be asking, does this relate to Sylvia

667
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: ortiz Valz, because remember she was criminally charged a couple

668
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: of days after this blow up by sortwell, well, ortiz

669
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 1: Valleise actually proved that Democrat leadership Reta Neubauer really did

670
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: kick members off the floor if they dared to vote

671
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: for Republican bills. Representative Nate Gustafson, a Republican astor flat

672
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: out on the floor. Hey, Representative ortiz Vales, have you

673
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: ever been barred from the Assembly floor because you are

674
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: going to vote for a Republican bill.

675
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 2: Thank you, mister speaker.

676
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 9: Real quick, I'd like to ask the gentle lady from

677
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 9: the eighth if she'd yield to a question.

678
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 8: Would the represent from the eighth yield to a question?

679
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 8: Was that yes or not? Will represent from the eighth

680
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 8: will yield to a question?

681
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 9: The question from the question is has the gentle lady

682
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 9: from the eighth ever been told to get off the

683
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 9: floor and not vote for her district.

684
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 11: Represent her from the eighth represent from the eighth.

685
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 7: The answer is yes, missus speaker.

686
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 1: Oh three days later she faces criminal charges.

687
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 2: You get it.

688
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: Yet, this was political payback from Greta Nubauer and what

689
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 1: appears to be her allies in the Capitol police and

690
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: an assistant district attorney in Milwaukee.

691
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 2: Nothing more.

692
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 1: The charge was not supported by the alleged misconduct of

693
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: Sylvia ortiz vilest did not rise to level of disorderly conduct.

694
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 1: In fact, it was standard political hardball, and it happened

695
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: just after ortiz Villez publicly humiliated Neubauer by confirming on

696
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: the floor of the State Assembly. And yes, we on

697
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: this show turned this into a statewide issue by posting

698
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: about it on social media and talking about it extensively

699
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,320
Speaker 1: on the air that afternoon. So she was embarrassed statewide.

700
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: She responds by bringing politically motivated charges despicable conduct by Defts.

701
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: It's just gone final Big Ten Tournament action in the

702
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Badgers have defeated Illin ninety one to eighty eight

703
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: in overtime. The ALIGNI I try to last second three

704
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: banked off the back iron, and the Badgers come from behind,

705
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: pull off an incredible second half come back to make

706
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: it to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals. I think I

707
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: said a couple of days ago that I thought the

708
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 1: Badgers were possibly a bubble team.

709
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 2: Now they are.

710
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: They are absolutely in a very good Big ten conference.

711
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: They are probably what would you say, Producer Doug Russell,

712
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: our residence sports guy producing the show today, what would

713
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: you say, a six seed, seven seed somewhere in there

714
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: at worst a six. You think they're a five. I'd

715
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: rather have them be a six than a five. Everybody

716
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: knows about those five twelve matchups in the NCAA tournament.

717
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: Selection Sunday is this Sunday, So that means next week

718
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: we all have to pretend like we know something about

719
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: college basketball, and all I know is that my Marquet

720
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: Golden Eagles were terror this year, but hopefully they're going

721
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: to be better next year. All Right, we're gonna have

722
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: to pause for time here. Both producer Doug and I

723
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: were watching the end of the Badgers game, so neither

724
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: of us got ready for the daily Trump Day. We're

00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:23,319

741
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: How long has he been gone? Probably about a decade.

742
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: About a decade. Boy, what a wonderful guy. Everybody. Nobody

743
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: believes me when I say my first like Gordon Hinckley

744
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: radio legend. I was doing news when he was doing

745
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: Ask Your Neighbor, and he was doing some of the

746
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,880
Speaker 1: Saturday programming on WTMJ, and nobody believes me.

747
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 2: I said. The man had like the dirtiest old.

748
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: Man jokes like everybody everybody in ready, even like the

749
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: most revered figures.

750
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: They're guys, right, they do.

751
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 5: You know?

752
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 1: This is why, This is why, having grown up, having

753
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: literally grown up in radio and television newsrooms. I started

754
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: in this business when I was nineteen. I knew exactly

755
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 1: what Trump was talking about when he was talking about

756
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: the Access tape and said, it's locker room talk. This

757
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: is just how dudes talk. Yes, I can tell you

758
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 1: in press boxes, in newsrooms everywhere. Even Gordon Hinckley, who

759
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: at the time was probably about eighty seven years old,

760
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: who was telling me dirty jokes, which I love because

761

00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: The Steve Wilcos Show is also being asked. This is

783
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: yet another sort of admission in the YouTube era, in

784
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 1: the era of social media, that it is very, very

785
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:22,800
Speaker 1: difficult for broadcast television to find audiences during off hours.

786
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean, think about, when's the last time you watched

787
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:29,240
Speaker 1: a broadcast television show that wasn't a sporting event. When's

788
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: the last time you watched, you know, one of the

789
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 1: Cold Case File shows or what are they still doing

790
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: CSI I don't know. I watched so little television.

791
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 2: I have no idea.

792
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: All Right, Daily Trump Day, your daily look at what's

793
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: going on in Donald Trump's Washington. The president sat down

794
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: for an interview with, of all people, Jake Paul, the

795
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 1: boxer and former YouTube viral video star is a huge

796
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: Trump supporter, and Trump said at a recent event with

797
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: Paul that he is a very big fan of his

798
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: and would endorse Paul if he ran for any office. Well,

799
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: Jake Paul does a podcast that interviewed the president.

800
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 2: Today.

801
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 1: The President talked about why the strikes on Iran were

802
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 1: necessary country.

803
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 12: I mean, we did this excursion. We had to do

804
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 12: it wipe out evil. Sometimes you have evil, and for

805
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,760
Speaker 12: forty seven years they've been killing people.

806
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, in the most violent way.

807
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 12: The roadside bombs all over the place. That was ninety

808
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 12: five percent of them are from Iran. Salomoni, that was

809
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 12: the one which to come out. We did a lot

810
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 12: of things to beat two bombers and all of this

811
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 12: whole thing that we're doing now is people have waited

812
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 12: for forty seven years for it to happen, so we

813
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 12: have to do it right. But our military has been unbelievable.

814
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: All six airmen on board an aircraft that went down

815
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: over the in Iraan, in Iraq, I should say, due

816
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,319
Speaker 1: to what's believed to be mechanical failure, are confirmed to

817
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: be dead today. And Vice President JD. Vance, who is

818
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: on location in North Carolina today touting the President's economic agenda,

819
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 1: offered prayers for them and for all those service members

820
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,479
Speaker 1: serving in the war against Iraq.

821
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 13: There are a lot of people from the state of

822
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 13: North Carolina who are in harms Way right now, and

823
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 13: so I want all of us when we go home,

824
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 13: we leave this event, I want all of us to

825
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 13: say a prayer not just for the North Carolinians, but

826
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 13: for the people of all of our fifty states who

827
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 13: put on the uniform and are willing to sacrifice for

828
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 13: the safety and security and freedom of the United States

829
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 13: of America. I want every single person, I want you

830
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 13: to tell every single person who is serving overseas and

831
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 13: harms Way that this crowd in North Carolina has their back.

832
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 2: Thank you all.

833
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: Now, the stated purpose of the Vice President's visit was

834
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: to tout President Trump's economic accomplishments and try to boost

835
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: support ahead of the midterms.

836
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 2: Bans did that, of course, in just a.

837
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 13: Very brief time.

838
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 8: We've seen new home.

839
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 13: Purchases rise to their highest level in five years since

840
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 13: the last time Donald Trump was president. We've seen the

841
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 13: cost of rents drop for six months in a row.

842
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 13: We've seen the average tax refund that's going to come

843
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 13: to the people of North Carolina about thirty seven hundred

844
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 13: dollars per family. And we see interest rates that are

845
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 13: the lowest day events since the last time that Donald J.

846
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 13: Trump was president. My friends, the President is impatient. He's

847
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,760
Speaker 13: the most impatient person I have ever met. In fact,

848
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 13: he constantly is President on the gas.

849
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 8: He wants us to do more.

850
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 13: But I stand here proud to say that after the

851
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 13: first year of President Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans leadership,

852
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,160
Speaker 13: we are rebuilding the American dream and we are taking

853
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 13: back this country for the people of this state.

854
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: Now back to the President's interview with Jake Paul. Since

855
00:53:56,320 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: it was Jake Paul. He asked President Trump if he

856
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: had ever been in a fight.

857
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 2: Have you ever been in a fight?

858
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 11: I heard a rumor about you like helping Kobe one

859
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:07,280
Speaker 11: time at a game?

860
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 7: Is that a wrong time?

861
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 5: We was?

862
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 2: Well, wasn't a fight.

863
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 12: I was breaking up a fight, which sometimes is more

864
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 12: dangerous than being in a fight. Right, But now, I

865
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,800
Speaker 12: like Kobe. Kobe was having a hard time with somebody

866
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,239
Speaker 12: and it worked that fine. But yeah, I broke it up.

867
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 12: Probably not a smart thing to do. Historically, it's never

868
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 12: good to break up fights.

869
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

870
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:37,839
Speaker 1: Wait, what President Trump and Kobe Bryant were in a fight?

871
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: This is news to me, of course. I had to

872
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: look this up, and apparently this is at the NBA

873
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 1: All Star Weekend in nineteen ninety eight. The players, including

874
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, who at the time was very very young,

875
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: were staying at Trump's hotels, the Grand Hyatt. Now this

876
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: is from sports writer Jeff Perlman. A exchange escalated in

877
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: an elevator between Bryant and veteran player Jason Williams, who

878
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 1: is playing with the New Jersey Nets. Williams reportedly took

879
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 1: offense to Kobe's casual response to a greeting, failing to

880
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: show proper respect as an old school vet, He lunged

881
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 1: at him and started punching Trump also happened to be

882
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 1: in the elevator along with Charles Oakley. He stepped in

883
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: to separate them, grabbing Williams and telling Kobe to get

884
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: out quickly to de escalate the situation before it got worse.

885
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 2: What Donald Trump Jason Williams.

886
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: He was like six foot eleven and known as like

887
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: an NBA enforcer. He was like a big tough dude.

888
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: Charles Oakley of the New York Knicks also big tough dude.

889
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: And it's Trump who is leaving. He's putting his hands

890
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 1: on Jason Williams. I don't know if he thought, okay, well,

891
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 1: you know, Trump at the time would have been a

892
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 1: relatively older guy. He would have been what in his fifties,

893
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: I would say back then, if he thought there's no

894
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: way that this guy is gonna or maybe he thought

895
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 1: as maybe he thought as the owner of the hotel,

896
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: he wouldn't get popped.

897
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

898
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,959
Speaker 1: I think we broke some remarkable news on the Jake

899
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: Paul podcast because apparently this was a long rumored thing.

900
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:34,040
Speaker 1: Pearlman apparently put it in his book on Kobe Bryant,

901
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: which is like sort of the definitive retelling, and it

902
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: appears that Donald Trump just confirmed this longstanding rumor an

903
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 1: exclusive story here on the Dan o'donald Show, Governor Evers

904
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 1: is apparently refusing to hold signing ceremonies for Republican authored bills.

905
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,880
Speaker 1: He's accused of playing politics with his bill signings in

906
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 1: of course, this all important gubernatorial and legend slate of

907
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: election year. The governor has refused to hold signing ceremonies

908
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:09,439
Speaker 1: for two significant bills that happened to be authored by Republicans,

909
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: and he didn't even inform either of those Republican authors

910
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:16,959
Speaker 1: that he was signing their bills, even though they were

911
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: in the Capitol at the time. Earlier today, State Representative

912
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:27,520
Speaker 1: Barb Dietrich, who's a Republican from Oconomowok, said the governor's

913
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: office never informed her that he had signed her bill

914
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: allowing law enforcement officers to test drivers for multiple controlled substances.

915
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. Ebers neither held

916
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:45,280
Speaker 1: a signing ceremony to highlight its passage, nor to inform

917
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: anyone that he was signing it. Now, obviously, the governor

918
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: is under no obligation to hold a big signing ceremony

919
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: to invite people who will be impacted.

920
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 2: By the bill.

921
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: But this would seem like a pretty big one. There's

922
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 1: a good bill that Representative Dietrich got in because now

923
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 1: law enforcement officers aren't just going to be able to

924
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: test for alcohol, but also marijuana other controlled substances.

925
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 2: And this is this is a significant step forward.

926
00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: This is a bill that would obviously be praised by

927
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 1: law enforcement officers.

928
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,959
Speaker 2: Obviously be praised. You could get people.

929
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: Who lost loved ones to drunk or impaired driving, you

930
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: could get together and you could you could sign this bill.

931
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: But what's clear is that EBS didn't want to give

932
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: Dietrich or Republicans, who are the driving forces behind this bill,

933
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: any credit. The far bigger one was last week Representative

934
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: Amanda ned Wesky, who's a Republican from Pleasant Prairie, authored

935
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: a very significant bill. It, for the first time in

936
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 1: Wisconsin history, makes child grooming a crime where if you

937
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: are grooming an underage person for the purposes of sex,

938
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: if you if you're trying to gain a relationship with

939
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: the child to eventually start a sexual relationship. I think

940
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: everybody knows what grooming is. This actually passed the state

941
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: Senate unanimously, and there was only minor opposition. There were

942
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: six Democrats out of ninety nine total state representatives in

943
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: the Assembly who voted against this. One of them happened

944
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,919
Speaker 1: to be Franni Hong, the leading candidate for governor right

945
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: now for the Democrats. For some reason, Francesca Hon is

946
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: very very pro child grooming, right, I mean, isn't this

947
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 1: what Democrats do. If you vote against the bill, you

948
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 1: must be pro the thing that that bill is trying

949
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: to stop. So I guess we can refer to her

950
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: as pro child grooming state representative and Democratic gubernatorial candidate

951
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: Francesca Hong. Now what she said and what another pro groomer,

952
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Clancy said about the bill is rather ridiculously. It

953
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: would criminalize teachers giving hugs to students. Once again the tweet.

954
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: The problem with modern discourse is that liberals pretend not

955
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:14,920
Speaker 1: to know things, thus making discourse impossible. It has proven

956
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: true over and over and over again. Clearly, we are

957
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: not criminalizing hugging a student. We are criminalizing the sort

958
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: of behavior that we outlined a couple of days ago

959
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: in the massive teacher sex scandal at Oconto Falls High School,

960
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 1: where there was grooming behavior clearly going on by a

961
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: tech education teacher and an assistant volleyball coach who is

962
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: now criminally charged with sexual abuse of children. And there

963
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: was apparently a long standing quarter century pattern of cover up.

964
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: Now this is a significant piece of legislation, the anti

965
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: child grooming bill. You would think that this would be

966
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 1: one that Governor Evers would want to hold a signing

967
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 1: ceremony on to say, yes, we are cracking down on

968
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: crimes against children.

969
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 2: He did not.

970
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: Ned Wesky two had no idea that the bill was

971
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: even signed until afterwards she put out a hastily written

972
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 1: press release saying, oh hey, my bill was signed in

973
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 1: alt She was never actually told about it. Now, meanwhile

974
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: Evers is signing. He's planning major signing ceremonies for two

975
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Democrat authored bills, one on breast cancer another on postpartum care.

976
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: You might remember that one there was the big controversy

977
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: where Republicans supposedly pave because they realized how terrible their

978
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 1: posture was. Well, of course Evers is going to hold

979
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: a big signing ceremony for that one.

980
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 2: Also the breast cancer bill.

981
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Because they were authored by Democrats, Evers does not want

982
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: to give Republicans any credit whatsoever, because he is deathly

983
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: afraid that Republicans will be able to hold on to

984
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: their state legislative majorities, even though he's not running for reelection.

985
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 1: His handlers, the people who are actually running the governor's

986
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: mansion in this state, are terrified that Republicans might actually

987
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 1: defy the odds and they might actually hold on to

988
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:17,919
Speaker 1: the state legislature. And horror of horrors, Tom Tiffany might

989
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 1: actually win the governor's race. And with proposed bills like

990
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: the one I'm going to report on next, it's entirely possible.

991
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 1: Another Dan O'Donnell's show exclusive Republicans are excuse me, Democrats

992
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,919
Speaker 1: are introducing a bill that would create a brand new

993
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: entity authorized to levy even more property taxes on you. You're

994
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: not going to want to miss this Dan O'Donnell exclusive

995
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 1: coming up next. Democrats are trying desperately to avoid blame

996
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: for the massive increase in property taxes that were brought

997
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: about by Governor Evers four h hundred year veto from

998
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five, we saw the

999
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: single biggest jump in average property tax increases in thirty years.

1000
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: Thirty years, three decades, and it just happened to be

1001
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: the first year that Governor Evers four hundred year property

1002
01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: tax veto was in place. Rather obviously, people started to

1003
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: get the idea that, hey, maybe it was Governor Evers

1004
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 1: and Democrats that are responsible for this massive hike in

1005
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: property taxes.

1006
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 2: Democrats said no, no, no, no no.

1007
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: Their allies said no, no, no, it's to see this

1008
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 1: confluence of factors that has absolutely nothing to do with

1009
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: the fact that the governor used the most unconstitutional veto

1010
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: I've ever seen to allow school districts to just automatically

1011
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: add three hundred and twenty five dollars per pupil per

1012
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:56,439
Speaker 1: year to their property tax levies for the next four

1013
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: hundred years. That could not possibly have had anything to

1014
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 1: do with the dramatic spike in property taxes. Well, the

1015
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show has learned exclusively that Democrats are now

1016
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: pushing a new bill that would allow municipalities to form

1017
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: an emergency service district that would be empowered to levy

1018
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: say it with me property taxes as well as imposed

1019
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 1: special charges and issue debt. This according to a circulation

1020
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: memo we obtained today. The proposal is known as LRB

1021
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen Slash one. It comes from Representatives Clinton Anderson

1022
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: and Lorie Palmery, along with State Senator Mark Spritzer. All

1023
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: of them are Democrats. Under the bill, participating municipalities could

1024
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: create a separate district as a special purpose government unit

1025
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 1: that they could transfer assets into. They can also transfer

1026
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: some of their taxing authority and responsibilities into.

1027
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 2: This is basically.

1028
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: A at communities that lose their independent fire departments, their

1029
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: independent police departments. When you have the merging of law

1030
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: enforcement or fire departments into various communities, it becomes more

1031
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 1: of like a regional thing. This is what this is

1032
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 1: aimed at. Under this bill, an elected board of district

1033
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: residents would oversee operations. Now, the bill's authors say that

1034
01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 1: since this is an optional structure, it'll promote efficiency, it'll

1035
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 1: sustain high quality service. But what this actually does is

1036
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 1: open the door to yet another layer of government bureaucracy

1037
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: that burdens taxpayers further. If you remember how the four

1038
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 1: hundred year veto worked. In twenty twenty three, Governor Evers

1039
01:05:55,040 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 1: used his partial veto authority from the school funding portion

1040
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: of the state budget, and he allowed the Republican legislator said, Okay,

1041
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 1: we're going to allow, for two years only under this budget,

1042
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: school districts to impose three hundred and twenty five dollars

1043
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 1: per pupil per year in increases to the property levy

1044
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,320
Speaker 1: the property tax levee, so that we can get more

1045
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 1: money and we don't have to go to referendum for it.

1046
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: It was a compromise with Governor Evers. Evers use the

1047
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: partial veto authority to strike down the two three and

1048
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: dash in twenty twenty three DASH twenty twenty No twenty

1049
01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 1: twenty three DASH twenty twenty four, and twenty twenty four

1050
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: DASH twenty twenty five. He basically struck down dashes and numbers.

1051
01:06:56,600 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: To turn that into the year twenty four twenty five,

1052
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: average tax bills jumped five percent in one year, biggest

1053
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: increase in thirty years. Biggest portion of that increase, no

1054
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: real surprise, the property tax levy from schools. So Democrats

1055
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 1: are saying, well, we aren't in favor of increased property taxes.

1056
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: At the same time, they're circulating for cosponsorship a bill

1057
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: that would create a brand new taxing authority. So not

1058
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 1: only would you be taxed by your local school board.

1059
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 1: Not only could you be potentially taxed by your municipality,

1060
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:41,000
Speaker 1: your city government, you can also now be taxed by

1061
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: this Regional Authority board, which has more elected positions, presumably

1062
01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: more bureaucratic bloat, and no real purpose other than two.

1063
01:07:54,520 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: It seems soak taxpayers. Why Democrats are and have been

1064
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: so bad on taxes, so bad on rates, and if

1065
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: elected in November, will only cost you more money. Coming

1066
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: up next when the Dan O'Donnell Show returns, it's classical

1067
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 1: conservatism and contemporary style. What is going on with the

1068
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I'm serious, big story today jsonline dot

1069
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 1: com about how former Lieutenant governor and Senate candidate man

1070
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 1: deadbeat Barnes his plans to freeze utility rates is very

1071
01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:55,800
Speaker 1: likely not possible under Wisconsin law. Democrats never get this

1072
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:59,160
Speaker 1: sort of treatment, I'm telling you, folks. They are all

1073
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:03,120
Speaker 1: terrified that Mandela is going to win this nomination. Frankly,

1074
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 1: I think they should be more scared of Francesca Hong

1075
01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: Mandela is. The Democrats are well aware of Mandela's shortcomings.

1076
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 1: They know he lost in an election that, for the

1077
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,839
Speaker 1: most part, he wasn't supposed to lose against Ron Johnson.

1078
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson in twenty twenty two was the number one

1079
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: target of National Democrats. They wanted him gone. They hate

1080
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:34,759
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson, and the field was cleared for Mandela Barnes.

1081
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 1: Democrats literally rigged their Senate primary by forcing Sarah Godluski

1082
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 1: and Alex Lazri to drop out while votes were being cast.

1083
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: Mail in ballots had been mailed out, and both of

1084
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:49,519
Speaker 1: those two dropped out of the race.

1085
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:50,640
Speaker 2: Now, why would.

1086
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 1: They do that unless they were told to drop out.

1087
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: God Luski, of course, got paid off. She gave up

1088
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: her seat as state treasurer in order to run for Senate. Well,

1089
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: Doug la Follett won re election for the five hundred

1090
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 1: and seventy eighth consecutive time that November. He immediately retired,

1091
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: and Governor Evers, in what was very clearly a preordained deal,

1092
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: just named Sarah Godluski to serve as Secretary of State

1093
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 1: so she got to continue to have a statewide elected

1094
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 1: office so she could run for higher office in twenty

1095
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: twenty six. She clearly wants to run for Senate, but

1096
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: she's going to settle for Lieutenant governor because she thought

1097
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: that she was never going to go anywhere in that

1098
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 1: crowded field. Mandela Barnes instantly upon getting into this race

1099
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:45,839
Speaker 1: in November, was met with a whole lot of skepticism. First,

1100
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 1: The New York Times published an article quoting both named

1101
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:55,679
Speaker 1: Democrats and unnamed sources within the Democrat Party saying exactly

1102
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: what we've been saying here on this show that Mandela

1103
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 1: is an unusually weak candidate because frankly, he's not especially bright,

1104
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: he's not especially politically savvy, and he's got a whole

1105
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:12,640
Speaker 1: lot of baggage in both his professional and personal life.

1106
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 1: Immediately after that, a black owned newspaper in Milwaukee called

1107
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:20,679
Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Courier came out with an editorial piece that said, Hey, Mandela,

1108
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,280
Speaker 1: you are not going to get the support automatically of

1109
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 1: Milwaukee's black community that you did last time, because again,

1110
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:33,680
Speaker 1: he's already lost statewide. If I were the Democrats, I

1111
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,679
Speaker 1: would be concerned about Francesca Hang. She's just as stupid

1112
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 1: and has just as bad policies as Mandela, just as

1113
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 1: messy of a personal life with a bitter divorce that

1114
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: may actually involve Mandela more than many people think. She

1115
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 1: also is a vulgar, just from all accounts, nasty human

1116
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 1: being and she would be thoroughly rejected by voters. In fact,

1117
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 1: Tom Tiffany has got to be licking his chops at

1118
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:10,120
Speaker 1: the fact that the two leading candidates right now are

1119
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Mandela Barnes and Francesco Hon. Personally, I believe, at least

1120
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 1: on paper, the strongest candidate would probably be Milwaukee County

1121
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 1: executive David Crowley. But again, he's proven himself to be

1122
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 1: so remarkably incompetent, as evidenced by the fact that he

1123
01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: allowed the county's health insurance plan to lapse. You know

1124
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 1: how like when you have usually it's what October November,

1125
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: your company will send out the notice, okay, time to

1126
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:38,679
Speaker 1: sign up for the health insurance plan again. How many

1127
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 1: times have you just kind of forgotten to do that?

1128
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 1: How many times did your family just not have health

1129
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 1: insurance because you didn't fill out the required paperwork? I'm

1130
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:50,840
Speaker 1: taking a while, guests, probably never. Well, David Crowley did,

1131
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: and it affected not just his family but the entire county.

1132
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:58,599
Speaker 1: Every single county employee and a whole bunch of county

1133
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 1: retirees who are still on the healthcare plan apparently didn't

1134
01:13:02,240 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: have coverage or at least had some sort of lapse

1135
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: in coverage for the better part of three weeks. Now

1136
01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: he claims there was never any lapse, but for whatever reason,

1137
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 1: he just decided that the Milwaukee County Board didn't need

1138
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: to know about this, when absolutely it did. So he's

1139
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 1: still dealing with the ramifications of that, and as a result,

1140
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 1: I think he has just gone nowhere in the polls.

1141
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: The latest Marquete University Law School poll shows him as

1142
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:31,760
Speaker 1: an afterthought. Democrats' best chance to get a sort of

1143
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 1: non crazy candidate is probably going to be Sarah Rodriguez,

1144
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 1: the current Lieutenant governor, who is rather obviously hated by

1145
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: her own administration. It's actually kind of remarkable how much

1146
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:48,680
Speaker 1: the Tony Evers people despise Sarah Rodriguez. I think I'm

1147
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:50,680
Speaker 1: going to get into that at some point. I've got

1148
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 1: some insight into why it is those two sides hate

1149
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 1: each other and why it is that they despise Sarah

1150
01:13:56,960 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 1: Rodriguez so much. But the point is that Mandela came

1151
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: out with a with a typical lib respose, like, hey,

1152
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 1: we're going to freeze all of the utility rates. We're

1153
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: not going to allow those evil utility companies like we

1154
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 1: energies to jack up rates, and normally the media would

1155
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 1: just sort of act as stenographers and they would dutifully report, yes, yes,

1156
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 1: Mandela is saying this, and wouldn't it be great if

1157
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: all of the rates were frozen? And here we're going

1158
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: to talk to a couple of widows and some disabled

1159
01:14:28,280 --> 01:14:30,799
Speaker 1: people and minorities who say, oh, yes, this would benefit

1160
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 1: us greatly. Essentially, it would be just doing pr for

1161
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 1: whatever Democrat proposal was put out there. Not so they

1162
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:42,879
Speaker 1: actually talked to UW. Madison professors who said, no, in practice,

1163
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 1: you can't actually freeze rates. Now, everybody with a brain

1164
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,840
Speaker 1: knows that you absolutely can't freeze rates. And as we

1165
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: said on this show, it was hilarious coming from Mandela,

1166
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 1: who is part of the Evers administration who approved two

1167
01:14:56,560 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 1: point two billion dollars worth of rate in increases by

1168
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: the utility companies. Now, compare that with Governor Scott Walker

1169
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:10,040
Speaker 1: when his nominees gained control of the Public Service Commission

1170
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:14,920
Speaker 1: the PSC, which is the board that authorizes those rate hikes. Essentially,

1171
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: we energies and Alliant and the big energy companies they

1172
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: can't just jack rates up because they are government sanctioned monopolies.

1173
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 1: They have to go to the PSC and ask whether

1174
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,639
Speaker 1: or not they're allowed to raise rates. Well, Governor evers

1175
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 1: appointees to the PSC would only approve twenty five percent

1176
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 1: of the requested rate hikes for a total of three

1177
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 1: hundred million. Over Walker's term, Evers's appointees have greenlit seventy

1178
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 1: one percent of rate increases for a total of two

1179
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: point two billion dollars. So people are noticing, Hey, my

1180
01:15:57,200 --> 01:16:00,639
Speaker 1: utility bill is way higher. I am paying way more

1181
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 1: to heat my house. Obviously, the heaters are going to

1182
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 1: be working overtime this weekend with all of the snow

1183
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:11,799
Speaker 1: that's coming. Electricity bills, those are going up, and people

1184
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 1: notice the mere fact that Mandela is seeing this as

1185
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 1: an issue that he can make. Hay On tells me

1186
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 1: that he is seeing that people are ticked off about

1187
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:28,520
Speaker 1: utility rates. Now too bad, it's Mandela's party that's responsible

1188
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 1: for the rate increases. But the single biggest thing I

1189
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 1: think that people are po'ed about in Wisconsin right now

1190
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 1: is the property tax rates, utility bills, property taxes, the

1191
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:41,479
Speaker 1: fact that in a very short amount of time, we

1192
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:45,680
Speaker 1: are paying way more for the exact same house that

1193
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 1: we used to own, that we've always owned, and the

1194
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: exact same amount of square footage that you need to

1195
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 1: light and heat it. There is significant political advantage here

1196
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:04,719
Speaker 1: for Republican Democrats have done nothing but jack property tax rates.

1197
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:08,559
Speaker 1: In fact, under Governor Walker, do you remember that there

1198
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:12,520
Speaker 1: were revenue limit controls that Walker and the Republican Legislature

1199
01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,479
Speaker 1: placed on local government. They actually took out the state

1200
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:19,639
Speaker 1: portion of the property tax levee every single year. That's

1201
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 1: been estimated to save taxpayers eighty five million dollars per year,

1202
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:29,639
Speaker 1: every single year. And as a result of this under

1203
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 1: the Walker era, under the Walker administration from twenty eleven

1204
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 1: to twenty nineteen, overall property tax levies they increased, very,

1205
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:44,240
Speaker 1: very slightly. Property taxes were not a big issue. The

1206
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 1: K twelve portion of property tax bills rose seven point

1207
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 1: eight percent in the past year after Governor Rivers four

1208
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: hundred year VITA. That's the biggest increase since nineteen ninety two.

1209
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 1: We have seen the single biggest total property tax levy

1210
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:08,639
Speaker 1: increase in thirty years. Any way you slice it. Governor

1211
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:12,200
Speaker 1: Evers and these Democrat allies who are pushing this four

1212
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:17,800
Speaker 1: hundred year property tax levy, this veto, they're responsible they're

1213
01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: responsible for the massive increases in utility bills, they're responsible

1214
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: for the massive increases in property taxes, and if Republicans

1215
01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 1: are smart, they will use this as the electoral issue

1216
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:32,560
Speaker 1: this November.

1217
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 2: This is the Dan o'donald Show.

1218
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:48,320
Speaker 1: We name the unsung hero of the day next coming

1219
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 1: up next hour here on the Dan o'donald Show, some

1220
01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 1: potentially very very good news about the Save America Act

1221
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:59,719
Speaker 1: coming from Senator Mike Lee, who is a huge supporter

1222
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 1: of it. Also, a county clerk in Illinois appears to

1223
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 1: be saying the quiet part out loud about why the

1224
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 1: Save America Act is so necessary because illegal aliens absolutely

1225
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: are voting in DuPage.

1226
01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 2: County, Illinois. We'll get to that. Plus UW.

1227
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 1: Madison's faculty and teacher student teacher unions are holding ICE

1228
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: is a bunch of Nazis training sessions. First of all,

1229
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: they're about a year late on this. This was all

1230
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,560
Speaker 1: the rage last spring. You might remember we broke this

1231
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 1: story here on the Dan O'Donnell Show about Governor Evers

1232
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 1: putting out a memo that became a big national story

1233
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 1: because it was clearly telling state employees to interfere in

1234
01:19:48,880 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: ICE investigations or law enforcement investigations. It was sort of

1235
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:57,519
Speaker 1: lost in the shuffle because literally a week later, maybe

1236
01:19:57,560 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: not even a week later, I think we broke the

1237
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:04,240
Speaker 1: Evers story on Thursday, and then the following Monday, we

1238
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 1: broke the much bigger story that Hannah Dugan, a Milwaukee

1239
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: County judge, had actually helped an illegal alien, violent criminal

1240
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 1: defendant sneak out of her courtroom through the jury room

1241
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:21,880
Speaker 1: because Ice was there looking to bring him in. But

1242
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 1: now UW Madison's faculty and graduate student teacher's assistant unions

1243
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:32,360
Speaker 1: are doing trainings of their own, and we will get

1244
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:36,000
Speaker 1: into that exclusive story, plus our fun Friday segment, how Bizarre,

1245
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 1: Strangest stories of the past seven days. We will also

1246
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 1: chat with a man who I believe is the most

1247
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 1: effective local Republican party chairman in the state, Terry Dietrich

1248
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 1: of the Waukeshaw County Republican Party. We will chat about

1249
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: his wis Red initiative that we're actually partnering with this

1250
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 1: year here on the Dan O'Donnell Show to create the

1251
01:20:58,160 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 1: Ultimate Conservative vote voter Guide. It is a list of

1252
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:06,839
Speaker 1: as many conservative candidates running in the upcoming spring election

1253
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,599
Speaker 1: that we could find. We are going to unveil this

1254
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 1: one week from Monday, Monday March twenty third, we are

1255
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:18,519
Speaker 1: going to put online the ultimate Conservative voter Guide for

1256
01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 1: the spring election, as part of a broader web initiative

1257
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:24,719
Speaker 1: that we will be telling you more about next week

1258
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:36,640
Speaker 1: here on the Dan O'donnaho. Today's unsung heroes of the

1259
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:40,280
Speaker 1: day are unfortunately no longer with us. They are the

1260
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:46,600
Speaker 1: six crew members aboard a KC one five refueling aircraft

1261
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:50,000
Speaker 1: who were killed today in a crash over western Iraq.

1262
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:54,639
Speaker 1: The military has confirmed was not due to hostile fire.

1263
01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 1: It is believed that there was some sort of mechanical

1264
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 1: malfunction or potentially inclement weather, or a combination of both

1265
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:06,520
Speaker 1: that led to that crash. The death toll for Americans

1266
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:09,680
Speaker 1: serving in the war in Iran has now hit thirteen,

1267
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 1: and we do pray for the souls of all of them.

1268
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 1: We thank everyone serving in uniform during this conflict for

1269
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:22,479
Speaker 1: their service. You're listening to the Dan o'donald Show. Will

1270
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 1: be right back after the news final hour of a

1271
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 1: busy broadcast week, as we all prepare to hunkered down

1272
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:33,559
Speaker 1: ahead of a major winter storm that could drop as

1273
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:37,720
Speaker 1: much as two feet of snow on northern Wisconsin. It's

1274
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:41,320
Speaker 1: sounding like here in southern Wisconsin. It's probably going to

1275
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 1: come down mostly as rain, freezing rain and snow that

1276
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 1: has a tendency to drop down the snow totals. But

1277
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: it's no less dangerous because we are going to see

1278
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 1: a lot of ice that could lead to power outages,

1279
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 1: that could lead to a whole lot of bad stuff.

1280
01:22:55,320 --> 01:23:00,320
Speaker 1: So as always stay weather aware. Oakland County Sheriff Michael

1281
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:04,679
Speaker 1: Bouchchard is offering an update on the terror attack against

1282
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 1: the synagogue yesterday in West Bloomfield, Michigan. Let's go very

1283
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:10,679
Speaker 1: briefly to that press conference forward again.

1284
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:13,799
Speaker 14: It's not a time to make a plan at the door.

1285
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:16,960
Speaker 14: That's why you have to train in advance, communicate in advance,

1286
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 14: and then execute when something like this begins to happen.

1287
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:24,519
Speaker 14: Security did a great job, staff did a great job,

1288
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 14: First responders did a great job. And it doesn't come

1289
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 14: without training. There's been questions about, well, it's kind of

1290
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 14: coincidental that there was training at the temple fairly recently,

1291
01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 14: and is it connected or was there something suspected. The

1292
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 14: answer is no, We're training all the time as agencies

1293
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 14: with our partners, with our houses of worship, with our schools,

1294
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 14: and that was one of those such trainings. There was

1295
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 14: no credible intelligence or belief that it was about to

1296
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 14: get hit, but it's ongoing training throughout the community and

1297
01:23:56,880 --> 01:24:00,559
Speaker 14: they did a great job executing that training. Also, I'd

1298
01:24:00,600 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 14: like to thank the community at large who has really

1299
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 14: poured out their support and affection for everyone involved. The

1300
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 14: Jewish community first and foremost has been i think uplifted

1301
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 14: and hugged from our community, and that's appreciated and is encouraged.

1302
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 14: If you know someone in the Jewish community, tell them

1303
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 14: you're with them. You stand against anti Semitism. It's not

1304
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:30,439
Speaker 14: tolerable on any level anywhere period. And also I'd like

1305
01:24:30,479 --> 01:24:34,240
Speaker 14: to thank, in addition to all of our partners, the

1306
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:39,760
Speaker 14: Shenandoah Country Club and the Kaldian community which served a

1307
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 14: lot of things, an incident command post and reunification center.

1308
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 14: They jumped right in and did everything they could and

1309
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:50,160
Speaker 14: did that day and they continue to do so to

1310
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:53,520
Speaker 14: this day. And then finally, everyone here at this facility

1311
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,559
Speaker 14: where we moved on day two has been amazing to

1312
01:24:56,800 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 14: make the facility and capability and staff available.

1313
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,000
Speaker 8: Well, it's those kinds of things.

1314
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 14: When you see the worst in humanity, you see the best,

1315
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,439
Speaker 14: and we've seen the best in humanity respond to that

1316
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 14: here in this community.

1317
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:14,799
Speaker 1: That is Michael Bouchard. He is the Oakland County Sheriff,

1318
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 1: giving an update on the terror attack from West Bloomfield,

1319
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:23,560
Speaker 1: Michigan yesterday where a suspect identified to be a naturalized

1320
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 1: citizen from Lemanon drove a car into a synagogue. His

1321
01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 1: plan was to get out and just open fire. Fortunately

1322
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 1: there was a school that is attached to that synagogue.

1323
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:36,759
Speaker 2: It was not in session right now.

1324
01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 1: We're getting an update now for the West Bloomfield Police Chief.

1325
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a whole lot more to update

1326
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: other than the identity of the suspect, who we can

1327
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 1: now surmise that Islamist terrorism was the motive here and

1328
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 1: this was actually the fifth terror attack or attempted terror

1329
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 1: attack in the United States in just the first couple

1330
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 1: of days of March. After Operation Epic Fury began in Iran,

1331
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:11,599
Speaker 1: we saw at Gracie Mansion. Outside of the Gracie Mansion,

1332
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 1: the New York City Mayor's home, there was an anti

1333
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 1: Islamist protest by a white nationalist group led by Jake Lang.

1334
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:25,920
Speaker 1: And there were a couple of children of naturalized citizens

1335
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:30,760
Speaker 1: who through improvised explosive devices into the crowd there and

1336
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 1: but for the quick thinking of a pair of truly

1337
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,799
Speaker 1: heroic New York City police officers, those could have exploded,

1338
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 1: and those could have caused tremendous damage and loss of life.

1339
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:44,719
Speaker 1: Of course, this all kicked off with just hours after

1340
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:50,480
Speaker 1: the Iran attack, you saw a naturalized citizen from Africa,

1341
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:55,280
Speaker 1: an Islamist sympathizer wearing a sweatshirt reading property of a law,

1342
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:58,600
Speaker 1: open fire at a bar in Austin, Texas, killing multiple

1343
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 1: people before he turned the gun on himself. We saw

1344
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:09,000
Speaker 1: two separate terror attacks yesterday. One a naturalized citizen who

1345
01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:12,320
Speaker 1: was a former member of the National Guard attacked an

1346
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 1: ROTC classroom, killing a decorated American veteran who was teaching

1347
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:22,439
Speaker 1: a class, and he shouted Alahu akbar. This guy was

1348
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 1: previously convicted of providing materials support to ISIS a decade ago.

1349
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 1: He gets out of prison goes right back to terrorism.

1350
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,719
Speaker 1: Here's where the story just takes a quite a turn.

1351
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 1: The ROTZI cadets who were in the classroom beat and

1352
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:44,040
Speaker 1: stabbed the terrorist to death. According to a press release

1353
01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:47,759
Speaker 1: and press conference yesterday in which the FBI special Agent

1354
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 1: in charge in Norfolk, Virginia, where odu's campus is, she

1355
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:56,760
Speaker 1: was trying desperately not to say, yeah, the cadets viciously

1356
01:27:56,840 --> 01:27:59,600
Speaker 1: beat this guy to death in self DEFAMBI obviously this

1357
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 1: is a defense case. He opened fire and killed their teacher,

1358
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:06,080
Speaker 1: and they just punched him and beat him and stabbed

1359
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:09,479
Speaker 1: him until he was I believe the special agent put

1360
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:12,439
Speaker 1: it no longer alive, she said, I don't know how

1361
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 1: to put this. He is no longer alive.

1362
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 2: Folks. We have a very real issue.

1363
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 1: With people who get into this country, not just illegally,

1364
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:30,920
Speaker 1: but also as refugees, also as part of Operation Allies Welcome,

1365
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:34,599
Speaker 1: which brought one hundred thousand Afghans into this country, many

1366
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: of whom were not in fact properly vetted following the

1367
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:41,559
Speaker 1: disastrous pull out of Afghanistan. At the very beginning of

1368
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:45,960
Speaker 1: the very disastrous Biden administration, we were bringing in people

1369
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 1: from Syria, we were bringing in people from Yemen. We

1370
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:55,439
Speaker 1: are bringing in people from terror hotspots that frankly hold

1371
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:59,000
Speaker 1: terrorist sympathies, and we are seeing people who have become

1372
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 1: naturalized citizens that just in the last couple of weeks

1373
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:10,759
Speaker 1: are committing unspeakable acts of evil. Denaturalization and deportation needs

1374
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:15,800
Speaker 1: to be a very serious weapon used in the war

1375
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:19,400
Speaker 1: on terror, because, folks, we are going to see I believe,

1376
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:24,320
Speaker 1: homegrown terror attacks and attacks on synagogues, attacks on Jewish

1377
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 1: community programs and schools, and that sort of thing with

1378
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:34,519
Speaker 1: increasing frequency because of the unfettered rage against the toppling

1379
01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:38,719
Speaker 1: of the Ayatola. All right, let's switch gears very quickly.

1380
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell's show exclusive. UW Madison's faculty Union the UFAs

1381
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: as well as its Teachers Aid Union the TAA, are

1382
01:29:53,880 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 1: holding a pair of events in support of quote resisting

1383
01:29:59,200 --> 01:30:03,839
Speaker 1: ice terror. According to flyers that have gone up across

1384
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 1: the UW Madison campus, they are holding events March sixteenth,

1385
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:14,840
Speaker 1: that's Monday, in the Engineering Lab at ten am, and

1386
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 1: then again on March twenty seventh at the Soils Building

1387
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:26,360
Speaker 1: on Observatory Drive. Of course, we have raised fist graphics

1388
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:30,719
Speaker 1: on these flyers and it says know your rights, wondering

1389
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:32,880
Speaker 1: what to do if ICE shows up in the building.

1390
01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 1: Want to learn how to talk about your rights with

1391
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:38,000
Speaker 1: coworkers interested in working with others so that none of

1392
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:41,840
Speaker 1: us stand alone. We got you come learn about your

1393
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 1: rights when dealing with immigration agents, will go over basics,

1394
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,560
Speaker 1: talk about how to develop a plan for your workplace,

1395
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 1: and discuss how your union can support resisting ICE terror. Now,

1396
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:56,280
Speaker 1: this of course raises a very interesting question, how many

1397
01:30:56,360 --> 01:31:01,920
Speaker 1: illegal aliens does the University of Wisconsin Madison employee? Because

1398
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:10,960
Speaker 1: this is specifically for university employees, right, this is specifically

1399
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,920
Speaker 1: for if it's being put on by the faculty union

1400
01:31:15,040 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 1: and the Teachers Aid union, it would be presumably for

1401
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:23,680
Speaker 1: faculty members in teachers aids. How many illegals are in

1402
01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:26,400
Speaker 1: UW medicine? Is the exact same question I asked last

1403
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 1: year when Governor Evers put out a ridiculous memo saying

1404
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:33,160
Speaker 1: that if an ICE agent shows up to a state

1405
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 1: office building, you are to essentially lock them in a

1406
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:42,320
Speaker 1: conference room while you shuttle all of the illegal alien

1407
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:46,080
Speaker 1: employees out the back door. You think I'm kidding. That

1408
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:49,040
Speaker 1: was essentially the gist of the memo. It became a

1409
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:54,560
Speaker 1: national controversy because it very much was encouraging state employees

1410
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:59,639
Speaker 1: to obstruct active, legitimate law enforcement investigations. Now, of course,

1411
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 1: as the UW Faculty Association and Teachers Aid Association are saying, well,

1412
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:08,519
Speaker 1: this is just you know, we're informing people of their

1413
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:11,640
Speaker 1: rights what we know in these training sessions. This is

1414
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:14,559
Speaker 1: not what goes on. They're not just saying okay, here

1415
01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:16,559
Speaker 1: is what your rights are. Here is what you can

1416
01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 1: and can't do. They are being instructive to actively impede

1417
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:25,000
Speaker 1: these investigations. And again, if UW Madison is not actively

1418
01:32:25,240 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 1: employing illegal aliens, which again it is against federal law

1419
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:32,759
Speaker 1: and I believe against state law as well to employ

1420
01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 1: illegal aliens, then why is this necessary to begin with?

1421
01:32:38,120 --> 01:32:43,040
Speaker 1: It is the same thing that sort of underpins Democrat

1422
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:46,680
Speaker 1: resistance to the Save America Act.

1423
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 2: Over the last.

1424
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 1: Couple of days, we have been documenting Democrat leaders Hakim

1425
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:55,760
Speaker 1: Jeffries and Chuck Schumer bizarrely saying that ICE agents will

1426
01:32:55,800 --> 01:32:59,679
Speaker 1: start showing up at the polls if the Save America Act.

1427
01:33:00,880 --> 01:33:05,559
Speaker 1: Now illegal aliens are absolutely barred from voting, So why

1428
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:09,000
Speaker 1: would ICE agents be there unless, of course, illegal aliens

1429
01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:10,759
Speaker 1: are actually voting.

1430
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 2: Well.

1431
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:17,520
Speaker 1: Gene Cosmeric, who is the county clerk in DuPage County, Illinois,

1432
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:22,080
Speaker 1: put out a video that all but confirms that she

1433
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:26,439
Speaker 1: knows illegal aliens are voting. It is one of these

1434
01:33:26,600 --> 01:33:31,200
Speaker 1: ridiculous hey we're going to protect you against ice videos,

1435
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:35,480
Speaker 1: but it actually sets up she sets up an alternative

1436
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:39,200
Speaker 1: polling place. She says, Okay, if ICE is at your

1437
01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:43,160
Speaker 1: polling place and you are worried about ICE, because of

1438
01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 1: course you're an illegal alien who should not be voting,

1439
01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:50,879
Speaker 1: don't worry. You can go vote at any other polling

1440
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:52,839
Speaker 1: place in DuPage Counties.

1441
01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 10: Should Ice be spotted at the polls, my office will

1442
01:33:56,120 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 10: alert rapid responders on the streets, instantly, contest election judges

1443
01:34:01,160 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 10: at polling places, and use social media to get the

1444
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:07,360
Speaker 10: word out to the people of du Page County. Du

1445
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:11,400
Speaker 10: Page County voters can vote anywhere in the county, So

1446
01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:14,840
Speaker 10: if an ICE presence is reported at any polling place,

1447
01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:19,559
Speaker 10: you can go to Dupagecounty dot gov slash vote anywhere

1448
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 10: for a list of all two hundred and forty eight

1449
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,960
Speaker 10: polling places in the county for an interactive map to

1450
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:28,680
Speaker 10: find an alternative polling place near you.

1451
01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:35,120
Speaker 1: Okay, So again, why would we need this warning Because

1452
01:34:35,160 --> 01:34:36,960
Speaker 1: we are told illegal immigrants.

1453
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:38,120
Speaker 2: Do not vote.

1454
01:34:38,200 --> 01:34:41,840
Speaker 1: We are told that voting fraud is such a minor thing.

1455
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:44,400
Speaker 1: We don't even need the Save America Act. We don't

1456
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 1: even need photo ID, we don't need proof of citizenship,

1457
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:49,599
Speaker 1: we don't need any of it because this never happens.

1458
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:52,320
Speaker 1: This is the crime that absolutely never happens. And especially

1459
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:56,800
Speaker 1: illegal aliens, they are so terrified of the consequences for

1460
01:34:56,920 --> 01:34:59,680
Speaker 1: illegal voting none of them would ever try. Okay, So

1461
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:05,719
Speaker 1: then why is the clerk of DuPage County saying, Okay, hey,

1462
01:35:05,920 --> 01:35:08,200
Speaker 1: all you illegal aliens who are showing up at a

1463
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 1: polling place, if an ICE agent is there, don't worry.

1464
01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:13,719
Speaker 1: You just get out of there and will still allow

1465
01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:15,559
Speaker 1: you to vote at any other.

1466
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:17,400
Speaker 2: Polling place in DuPage County.

1467
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:22,479
Speaker 1: You talk about saying the quiet part out loud when

1468
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 1: you are actually going so far as to put out

1469
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:28,360
Speaker 1: a video warning people that ICE agents might show up

1470
01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:30,479
Speaker 1: at the polls. And if they do show up at

1471
01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:33,360
Speaker 1: the polls, if you're an illegal alien voter, you can

1472
01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:37,360
Speaker 1: just vote elsewhere. So what is the status of the

1473
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:38,559
Speaker 1: Save America Act?

1474
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:42,040
Speaker 2: Yesterday? Senate Majority Leader John Thune.

1475
01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:44,000
Speaker 1: Said that it was going to go up for a

1476
01:35:44,080 --> 01:35:48,880
Speaker 1: vote before the full Senate next week. Now, I said, okay, great,

1477
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:52,599
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter, because it's going to get filibustered, and

1478
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:56,599
Speaker 1: unless there is philibuster reform, unless there is a vote

1479
01:35:56,600 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 1: to go back to what's known as the talking filibuster,

1480
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:02,680
Speaker 1: where they're actually is a filibuster instead of someone just saying, hey,

1481
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:05,479
Speaker 1: I'm going to filibuster, and then the bill essentially dies

1482
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:08,639
Speaker 1: until there's a cloture vote with sixty votes, something that's

1483
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:12,880
Speaker 1: never going to happen. On the Save America Act, it's

1484
01:36:12,960 --> 01:36:16,000
Speaker 1: essentially a moot point because there's just no way that

1485
01:36:16,120 --> 01:36:20,320
Speaker 1: this bill is ever going to pass. So what exactly

1486
01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:24,080
Speaker 1: is Thune doing? Is he just putting this forward in

1487
01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:27,400
Speaker 1: order to say he put it forward and then watch

1488
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:31,240
Speaker 1: it die. A lot of conservatives thought so well. Mike Lee,

1489
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:34,000
Speaker 1: who is one of the biggest supporters of the Save

1490
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:37,400
Speaker 1: America Act, he put out a video today saying he's

1491
01:36:37,400 --> 01:36:40,519
Speaker 1: been in negotiations with Thune's office, he and a number

1492
01:36:40,600 --> 01:36:44,120
Speaker 1: of other senators who are supportive of the Save America Act,

1493
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 1: and he said there's been significant progress and that he

1494
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:50,160
Speaker 1: is confident there is a way that this bill will

1495
01:36:50,200 --> 01:36:53,960
Speaker 1: not just come up but will actually be voted on.

1496
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:57,080
Speaker 15: Okay, important update on the Save America Act and the

1497
01:36:57,320 --> 01:37:00,640
Speaker 15: effort to get it passed. Look, I am guardedly optimistic.

1498
01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:03,880
Speaker 15: We've turned kind of a corner over the last few days.

1499
01:37:03,920 --> 01:37:07,400
Speaker 15: There's been some uncertainty about exactly what procedure we will

1500
01:37:07,439 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 15: be and will not be using. In the end, we've

1501
01:37:11,360 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 15: been working closely with Leader Thuone and his staff, and

1502
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:16,360
Speaker 15: they've been great to work with. What we're coming up

1503
01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:18,640
Speaker 15: with is something that I think is best described as

1504
01:37:18,640 --> 01:37:22,840
Speaker 15: a hybrid version of the talking filibuster. But look, let's

1505
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:25,720
Speaker 15: not get mired down in nomenclature. What matters far more

1506
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:27,960
Speaker 15: than what we call it is what we do with it.

1507
01:37:28,240 --> 01:37:29,800
Speaker 15: We're going to bring it to the floor, We're going

1508
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:31,960
Speaker 15: to debate it for an extended period of time before

1509
01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:35,680
Speaker 15: filing cloture, and in my view, at least I don't

1510
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:37,880
Speaker 15: want to speak for anyone else, this bill needs to

1511
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:41,120
Speaker 15: remain on the Senate floor before we file cloture on

1512
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 15: the bill, for as long as it takes to get

1513
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 15: it done. Now, the fact that Leaderthoon in his office

1514
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 15: has been willing to work with us on this and

1515
01:37:49,040 --> 01:37:52,040
Speaker 15: they appear open to a variation of that is a

1516
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:52,479
Speaker 15: good thing.

1517
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:55,000
Speaker 2: So let's keep up the momentum.

1518
01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:57,680
Speaker 15: Let's encourage them to continue to do this let's put

1519
01:37:57,720 --> 01:37:59,720
Speaker 15: the bill on the floor. Let's make those who want

1520
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:02,960
Speaker 15: to fillbuster speak and keep it on there as long

1521
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:03,639
Speaker 15: as possible.

1522
01:38:03,920 --> 01:38:07,599
Speaker 1: All Right, that is Senator Mike Lee of Utah. I'll

1523
01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:10,519
Speaker 1: believe that when I see it. Frankly, I don't think

1524
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 1: there's any real appetite to get this thing past. I

1525
01:38:14,240 --> 01:38:18,560
Speaker 1: have also been hearing that you have got Lisa Murkowski

1526
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:22,200
Speaker 1: against the Save America Act. I believe Mitch McConnell is

1527
01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:26,280
Speaker 1: against it. Susan Collins is against it. John Fetterman, a

1528
01:38:26,320 --> 01:38:30,640
Speaker 1: Democrat who has been increasingly siding with Republicans over the

1529
01:38:30,680 --> 01:38:33,479
Speaker 1: past year, he has come out against it. There is

1530
01:38:33,560 --> 01:38:36,880
Speaker 1: a very narrow, tight rope that you would need to

1531
01:38:36,960 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 1: walk even to get fifty one votes or fifty votes

1532
01:38:41,080 --> 01:38:44,800
Speaker 1: with Vice President JD. Vans casting the deciding one in

1533
01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 1: order to get this thing passed. And then, of course,

1534
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:51,200
Speaker 1: let's say it gets past. Let's say, miracle of miracles,

1535
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:56,960
Speaker 1: they do get this hybrid talking filibuster, cloture reform, whatever past.

1536
01:38:57,400 --> 01:39:01,800
Speaker 1: What do you think is going to immediately happen. Democrats

1537
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:04,479
Speaker 1: are going to sue over it, and of course it's

1538
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:07,759
Speaker 1: going to go before the DC Circuit and Chief Judge

1539
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:11,880
Speaker 1: James Bosberg, who we opened the show talking about with

1540
01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:17,720
Speaker 1: respect to his completely inappropriate shutting down of a legitimate

1541
01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 1: US Attorney's Office investigation. He would simply issue an injunction

1542
01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:25,360
Speaker 1: against it so that the Save America Act would not

1543
01:39:25,520 --> 01:39:29,519
Speaker 1: be in place for the upcoming twenty twenty six November

1544
01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:32,280
Speaker 1: midterm election. And in fact, you could get a Court

1545
01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:34,840
Speaker 1: of Appeals to say, look, it's just not enough time

1546
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:37,880
Speaker 1: to get people to have their birth certificate to be

1547
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:42,680
Speaker 1: able to prove citizenship. Let's not kid ourselves, folks. This

1548
01:39:42,720 --> 01:39:44,920
Speaker 1: would face significant challenges.

1549
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 14: Now.

1550
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:50,320
Speaker 1: I remain, like Lee, guardedly optimistic that we are going

1551
01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:55,000
Speaker 1: to see this sort of meaningful electoral reform. But let's

1552
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:58,439
Speaker 1: not kid ourselves that even if it does pass the Senate,

1553
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:02,120
Speaker 1: even if President Trump does douz sign it into law,

1554
01:40:02,840 --> 01:40:04,880
Speaker 1: then the courts get at it. And what we have

1555
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 1: understood about what the courts are doing in the age

1556
01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump, and that is to just obstruct as

1557
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:18,040
Speaker 1: much as possible, not to issue rulings that are supported

1558
01:40:18,080 --> 01:40:21,840
Speaker 1: by the Constitution or federal law. In fact, it's the

1559
01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:27,919
Speaker 1: exact opposite. What's going on is these rulings the judges

1560
01:40:28,120 --> 01:40:32,080
Speaker 1: no I am convinced Boseburg with all the ridiculous rulings

1561
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:35,599
Speaker 1: that he has issued over the past several months. They

1562
01:40:35,680 --> 01:40:37,840
Speaker 1: know they're going to get struck down on appeal and

1563
01:40:37,920 --> 01:40:40,920
Speaker 1: certainly struck down by the US Supreme Court if it

1564
01:40:41,000 --> 01:40:45,680
Speaker 1: goes that far. The issue and the aim is to

1565
01:40:45,840 --> 01:40:49,719
Speaker 1: just get a temporary injunction so that Trump is slowed

1566
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 1: down so he can't do whatever it is he wants.

1567
01:40:52,520 --> 01:40:55,439
Speaker 1: If you get an injunction against the Save America Act

1568
01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:59,000
Speaker 1: and we get to a critical point in this election cycle,

1569
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:03,719
Speaker 1: say we get close enough to the primaries, and given

1570
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:07,080
Speaker 1: states a number of states have already had their primaries,

1571
01:41:08,160 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 1: if you get to that point, well then the courts

1572
01:41:12,240 --> 01:41:15,080
Speaker 1: can say, all right, we're too close. There is no

1573
01:41:15,240 --> 01:41:18,280
Speaker 1: way that people are able to prove who they are. Meanwhile,

1574
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:22,560
Speaker 1: back here in the real world, everyone knows it's remarkably

1575
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:25,640
Speaker 1: easy to be able to prove citizenship and to be

1576
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:28,840
Speaker 1: able to prove who you are. But the point is

1577
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 1: that they would want to delay it. And again I'm

1578
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:34,839
Speaker 1: getting way ahead of myself. I have some serious doubts

1579
01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:37,880
Speaker 1: that it's ever going to pass the Senate. I don't

1580
01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:40,960
Speaker 1: think there is going to be meaningful filibuster reform. I

1581
01:41:40,960 --> 01:41:43,080
Speaker 1: think we're going to be stuck with this sixty vote

1582
01:41:43,080 --> 01:41:46,960
Speaker 1: threshold at least until the very second that Democrats retake

1583
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:49,479
Speaker 1: control of the Presidency, the House, and the Senate. They'll

1584
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:53,360
Speaker 1: get rid of the filibuster instantly to get passed with

1585
01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:57,000
Speaker 1: fifty one votes whatever they want to get passed.

1586
01:41:57,240 --> 01:42:00,960
Speaker 2: When we come back, Halvins are Strangers. Stories of the

1587
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:04,080
Speaker 2: past seven days. Our fun weekly segment coming up.

1588
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 16: Next, Conservative Thought, not just Talk.

1589
01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:16,320
Speaker 2: It is the Dan o'donald Show. Welcome back to it.

1590
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:19,799
Speaker 1: Coming up in i'd say about ten minutes fifteen minutes

1591
01:42:19,880 --> 01:42:22,880
Speaker 1: or so, we are going to be talking with Waukeshaw

1592
01:42:22,920 --> 01:42:29,160
Speaker 1: County Republican Party Chairman Terry Dietrich. He is the founder

1593
01:42:29,160 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 1: of the wis Red Initiative. It is a voter guide

1594
01:42:32,800 --> 01:42:38,000
Speaker 1: as well as a comprehensive assistance for Spring candidates in

1595
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:41,320
Speaker 1: Waukashaw County, one of the most important Republican counties in

1596
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:45,000
Speaker 1: the entire state. We are actually partnering with wis Red

1597
01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:46,599
Speaker 1: here at the Dan o'donald Show.

1598
01:42:46,680 --> 01:42:47,080
Speaker 2: This year.

1599
01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:50,519
Speaker 1: We are putting together the ultimate Conservative voter guide, not

1600
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:55,040
Speaker 1: just Waukeshaw County, but all seventy two counties. Every single county,

1601
01:42:55,320 --> 01:42:58,240
Speaker 1: we are going to have a list of conservative candidates.

1602
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:02,799
Speaker 1: It is the biggest conservative voter guide in the history

1603
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:06,960
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin. I can say that with absolute confidence. We

1604
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:08,960
Speaker 1: are putting the final touches on it. We are going

1605
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 1: to debut it a week from Monday, March twenty third,

1606
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:16,840
Speaker 1: the day before in person absentee voting starts. We are

1607
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:19,920
Speaker 1: going to be running once again the state's largest early

1608
01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:22,360
Speaker 1: vote drive, and we are going to be doing better.

1609
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:27,280
Speaker 1: Noah Candidate where candidates, local conservative candidates call in all

1610
01:43:27,400 --> 01:43:30,240
Speaker 1: day long. We're doing this in conjunction with Ben Yeant

1611
01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:33,160
Speaker 1: and Jason Gotch on WISN. So it is going to

1612
01:43:33,160 --> 01:43:37,040
Speaker 1: be an entire day devoted to local elections. Right now,

1613
01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:40,160
Speaker 1: we devote some time to the silliest stories of the

1614
01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:41,000
Speaker 1: past week.

1615
01:43:41,280 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 2: It is our weekly segment. Howazam Talmazon on.

1616
01:43:48,439 --> 01:43:54,559
Speaker 1: His podcast this week, NBA retired superstar Lamar Odom, a

1617
01:43:54,560 --> 01:43:58,719
Speaker 1: former teammate and friend of the late Kobe Bryant, said

1618
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:05,040
Speaker 1: Kobe visited him in a dream and apparently said the afterlife, yeah,

1619
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:06,080
Speaker 1: ain't all that great.

1620
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 17: He looked back at me, he said, hello, after life

1621
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:15,320
Speaker 17: is not what people make it up to be. And

1622
01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:19,559
Speaker 17: then I woke up shortly after that and I just

1623
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 17: made me think, like what was he trying to say?

1624
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:27,519
Speaker 18: Like, you know, could be he missed everybody. You know,

1625
01:44:31,680 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 18: it can mean a multipot of things.

1626
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:38,240
Speaker 2: A multipude, a multipood of things. It could mean.

1627
01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:40,599
Speaker 1: Look, I am not I am not going to make

1628
01:44:40,680 --> 01:44:42,880
Speaker 1: fun of this. I am not going to say I'm

1629
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 1: not going to bring up the fact that lamar Odom

1630
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:48,280
Speaker 1: is an admitted former heavy drug user.

1631
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:49,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

1632
01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:52,880
Speaker 1: People have these sort of encounters all the time. But

1633
01:44:52,920 --> 01:44:55,720
Speaker 1: what what do you mean He's not that The afterlife

1634
01:44:55,840 --> 01:44:59,000
Speaker 1: is not what it what it's cracked up to. What

1635
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 1: Jesus beat up in a game of horse? What is

1636
01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:02,920
Speaker 1: Kobe talking about here.

1637
01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:05,880
Speaker 15: Alva?

1638
01:45:07,320 --> 01:45:10,160
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, that is not the weirdest basketball

1639
01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:14,240
Speaker 1: story this week. Major scandal at California State University cal

1640
01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:18,920
Speaker 1: State Bakersfield, a former men's basketball assistant coach by the

1641
01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:21,839
Speaker 1: name of Kevin Mays, who's a former player on the team,

1642
01:45:22,400 --> 01:45:29,240
Speaker 1: was allegedly moonlighting as a pimp, operating across four states California, Oregon, Washington,

1643
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:34,720
Speaker 1: and Nevada. In August, head coach Rod Barnes received an

1644
01:45:34,720 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 1: anonymous tip email alleging Mays with trafficking women for prostitution,

1645
01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:43,879
Speaker 1: prompting an internal investigation that led to his arrest following

1646
01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:48,400
Speaker 1: a police sting operation. He now faces eleven criminal charges.

1647
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 1: He has been held without bail since his arrest. The

1648
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:56,799
Speaker 1: case has triggered multiple dismissals and resignations within the athletic department,

1649
01:45:56,880 --> 01:46:01,800
Speaker 1: including Barnes stepping down after a fourteen year tenure. The

1650
01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:05,360
Speaker 1: investigation revealed Mays was initially hired as a player development

1651
01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:09,439
Speaker 1: coordinator in twenty nineteen by Barnes, later promoted a temporary

1652
01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:12,800
Speaker 1: assistant coach in June at around three thousand dollars a month,

1653
01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:17,400
Speaker 1: a month raising questions about background checks and who knew

1654
01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:22,080
Speaker 1: what about his alleged side.

1655
01:46:21,800 --> 01:46:26,600
Speaker 2: Hustlebazon Albaza Talbazon.

1656
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:33,360
Speaker 1: Lest you think that performance enhancing drugs or silicone injections

1657
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:38,040
Speaker 1: are only plaguing professional sports or human beauty pageants, a

1658
01:46:38,240 --> 01:46:43,719
Speaker 1: camel beauty pageant Camel Beauty Pageant in Oman plunged into chaos.

1659
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:45,360
Speaker 2: Twenty of its competitors.

1660
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:50,120
Speaker 1: Camels like actual camels, were disqualified after their owners enhanced

1661
01:46:50,160 --> 01:46:57,080
Speaker 1: their humps using injectable fillers silicone wax and botox. Veterinary

1662
01:46:57,160 --> 01:47:00,879
Speaker 1: inspectors at the twenty twenty six Camel Beauty Show Festival

1663
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:04,920
Speaker 1: in Al Musana Oman discovered that the camels had undergone

1664
01:47:04,920 --> 01:47:11,919
Speaker 1: several cosmetic procedures to enlarge the size of their humps,

1665
01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:17,080
Speaker 1: using a mix of injectibles similar to dermal fillers used

1666
01:47:17,160 --> 01:47:21,520
Speaker 1: on humans. According to both Vice and Forbes, that disqualified

1667
01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 1: camels had received a mix of injectibles, including hyaluronic acid

1668
01:47:26,040 --> 01:47:32,040
Speaker 1: injections for pouty lips. The camels needed pouty lips, dermal

1669
01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:35,320
Speaker 1: fillers around their nose, botox to soften their faces, and

1670
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:39,920
Speaker 1: silicone wax to inflate their humps. Now, the camels in

1671
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:42,800
Speaker 1: this pageant are judged on four key features.

1672
01:47:42,520 --> 01:47:44,559
Speaker 2: Their coat, neck, head, and humps.

1673
01:47:44,760 --> 01:47:47,760
Speaker 1: The winning animals usually have the shiniest hair, a long

1674
01:47:47,800 --> 01:47:51,599
Speaker 1: and muscular neck, long eyelashes, and plump lips and of course,

1675
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:58,120
Speaker 1: plump and defined humps. Festival organizers say they are working

1676
01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:02,479
Speaker 1: to halt quote all acts of tampering and deception in

1677
01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:06,639
Speaker 1: the beautification of camels, adding that they would impose strict

1678
01:48:06,680 --> 01:48:14,640
Speaker 1: penalties on manipulators going forward. How Bazam Bazar here's a

1679
01:48:14,680 --> 01:48:18,919
Speaker 1: story about the absolute state of the education system in America.

1680
01:48:18,920 --> 01:48:21,639
Speaker 1: A high school graduate who got a three point seven

1681
01:48:21,880 --> 01:48:26,080
Speaker 1: GPA but could barely read is now suing her former

1682
01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:31,120
Speaker 1: school district in Washington State. McKenna Simonson graduated from Lynnwood

1683
01:48:31,200 --> 01:48:34,360
Speaker 1: High School in the edmund School District with high honors,

1684
01:48:34,680 --> 01:48:38,240
Speaker 1: but her family claims she finished her senior year reading

1685
01:48:38,240 --> 01:48:42,360
Speaker 1: at just a first grade level and often didn't understand

1686
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:48,000
Speaker 1: which she was reading. Lawsuit alleges educational malpractice and benevolent discrimination,

1687
01:48:48,439 --> 01:48:52,240
Speaker 1: saying the district gave her a meaningless diploma despite knowing

1688
01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:57,400
Speaker 1: her severe reading struggles. Now, instead, the family says they're

1689
01:48:57,400 --> 01:49:01,880
Speaker 1: facing steep cost forty thousand dollars a year for vocational

1690
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:05,040
Speaker 1: training elsewhere that they say they should have gotten at

1691
01:49:05,080 --> 01:49:09,240
Speaker 1: the Edmondsville School District. The district has not yet publicly

1692
01:49:09,360 --> 01:49:13,920
Speaker 1: responded to the suit. Ladies and gentlemen, This your weekly

1693
01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:16,759
Speaker 1: look back at the strangest stories of the past seven

1694
01:49:16,840 --> 01:49:19,360
Speaker 1: days on a segment we call here on the Dan

1695
01:49:19,400 --> 01:49:54,840
Speaker 1: o'donald Show, How I'm com on Welcome back to the

1696
01:49:54,920 --> 01:49:57,080
Speaker 1: Dan o' donald's show, Believe it or not. In a

1697
01:49:57,080 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 1: little more than a week in person, early voting opens

1698
01:50:00,520 --> 01:50:03,799
Speaker 1: up for the state Supreme Court election, and a whole

1699
01:50:03,880 --> 01:50:08,479
Speaker 1: bunch of municipal and county election Spring election. Election day

1700
01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:12,519
Speaker 1: is Tuesday, April seventh. Now, what we always talk about

1701
01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:15,200
Speaker 1: here on the Dan o'donalds Show is that a whole

1702
01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:18,439
Speaker 1: lot of conservatives don't know who it is that they

1703
01:50:18,479 --> 01:50:20,760
Speaker 1: should be voting for. They don't know who the conservative

1704
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:23,479
Speaker 1: candidates are. Obviously, I think everybody knows to vote for

1705
01:50:23,560 --> 01:50:27,360
Speaker 1: Maria Lazar for State Supreme Court judge, but beyond that,

1706
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:30,559
Speaker 1: who are the conservatives on the ballot. It has been

1707
01:50:30,680 --> 01:50:33,439
Speaker 1: an issue that has been plaguing us forever. Joining me

1708
01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:36,920
Speaker 1: now is a man who saw that same problem and

1709
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:41,439
Speaker 1: decided to do something about it. Waukeshaw County Republican Party

1710
01:50:41,520 --> 01:50:44,599
Speaker 1: Chairman Terry Dietrich. He is the founder of the Wis

1711
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:47,640
Speaker 1: Red Initiative. Terry, Happy Friday to you.

1712
01:50:48,720 --> 01:50:51,160
Speaker 5: Happy Friday, Dan, Great to be up with you well.

1713
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:54,639
Speaker 1: This year, Terry, we are actually partnering with the Wis

1714
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:57,400
Speaker 1: Red Initiative as we are putting together here at the

1715
01:50:57,479 --> 01:51:01,760
Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show what we're calling the Ultimate Conservative Voter Guide,

1716
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:06,080
Speaker 1: where we're taking your recommendations for Waukeshaw County combining them

1717
01:51:06,120 --> 01:51:09,320
Speaker 1: with pretty much every other county in the entire state

1718
01:51:09,760 --> 01:51:13,959
Speaker 1: that is going to debut online one week from tomorrow

1719
01:51:14,000 --> 01:51:16,559
Speaker 1: as part of a broader web initiative that we are

1720
01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:19,639
Speaker 1: launching here on the Dan O'Donnell Show. But wis read

1721
01:51:19,720 --> 01:51:23,479
Speaker 1: actually goes well beyond terry just a voter guide. You

1722
01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:27,200
Speaker 1: are actually vetting candidates. You are actually working with these

1723
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:30,240
Speaker 1: local candidates to get them ready to run. Explain for

1724
01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:33,519
Speaker 1: our audience again, how wis read works exactly.

1725
01:51:33,600 --> 01:51:37,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, Basically, in August, actually through the summer, we're out

1726
01:51:37,120 --> 01:51:40,519
Speaker 5: looking at all the individual races, whether they're incumbents, whether

1727
01:51:40,520 --> 01:51:44,679
Speaker 5: they're open seats, et cetera. County wide, which is typically

1728
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:47,959
Speaker 5: between one hundred and forty and one hundred and sixty races.

1729
01:51:48,160 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 5: This year, we've even got the county board up, so

1730
01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:54,080
Speaker 5: it's another twenty five and so we're looking for those

1731
01:51:54,120 --> 01:51:58,120
Speaker 5: counties or those candidates all that time, and we actually

1732
01:51:58,200 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 5: start selecting and vetting individuals. They come to us through

1733
01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:07,040
Speaker 5: a whole series of channels, but we start actually vetting

1734
01:52:07,120 --> 01:52:11,559
Speaker 5: those candidates a whole series of questions and backgrounds and

1735
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:15,120
Speaker 5: those types of things. That takes place from early September

1736
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:18,519
Speaker 5: all the way through the end of December. Obviously, the

1737
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:22,640
Speaker 5: filing deadline for the candidates is the first week in January,

1738
01:52:22,840 --> 01:52:25,320
Speaker 5: so it's hundreds and hundreds of hours. But we vet

1739
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:28,840
Speaker 5: these candidates and we ultimately decide with a vetting board

1740
01:52:28,880 --> 01:52:32,800
Speaker 5: of seven individuals, very dedicated, all from Waukeshaw County. We

1741
01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:34,720
Speaker 5: spend time with each one of these candidates and we

1742
01:52:34,800 --> 01:52:37,240
Speaker 5: decide on whether we are going to support them. We

1743
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:40,439
Speaker 5: don't say endorsed, because sometimes we have two or three

1744
01:52:40,479 --> 01:52:43,719
Speaker 5: conservatives running for the same seat, and if we determine

1745
01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:45,920
Speaker 5: that they're good conservatives, we support them all and let

1746
01:52:45,960 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 5: the people like it's supposed to be, let the people decide,

1747
01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:52,280
Speaker 5: but ultimately we decide who we're supporting, and from that

1748
01:52:52,439 --> 01:52:57,000
Speaker 5: point forward, it's all full scale go. In January, after

1749
01:52:57,080 --> 01:53:00,360
Speaker 5: they've filed, we put together our voter guide of that

1750
01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 5: just came out about a week ago. We do that

1751
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:04,600
Speaker 5: for the primary and then obviously for the general, and

1752
01:53:04,640 --> 01:53:07,280
Speaker 5: then we have a whole series of outreach programs to

1753
01:53:07,320 --> 01:53:11,519
Speaker 5: the voters in Waukesha County, typically conservative voters, but even

1754
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:14,000
Speaker 5: some of those low propensity voters you were talking about

1755
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:17,400
Speaker 5: that we've got to drive out we're knocking, we're dropping,

1756
01:53:17,479 --> 01:53:21,360
Speaker 5: we're canvassing, we're texting, etc. We've got a whole array

1757
01:53:21,439 --> 01:53:25,760
Speaker 5: of outreach programs, including meeting the candidates themselves, and basically

1758
01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:28,599
Speaker 5: go all the way full scale through April seventh, or

1759
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:31,639
Speaker 5: actually three days before and try to push that voter

1760
01:53:31,800 --> 01:53:34,800
Speaker 5: turnout up. I think if you remember way back, Dan,

1761
01:53:34,920 --> 01:53:36,960
Speaker 5: it seems like a long time ago in two thousand

1762
01:53:37,040 --> 01:53:39,800
Speaker 5: when we first started this for the twenty one spring race.

1763
01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 5: This is now our sixth year of wis Red. We've

1764
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:46,479
Speaker 5: won believe it's about one hundred and six, six hundred

1765
01:53:46,520 --> 01:53:49,240
Speaker 5: and twenty out of seven hundred and twenty or so races,

1766
01:53:49,360 --> 01:53:52,240
Speaker 5: about an eighty nine percent win rate. But every year

1767
01:53:52,560 --> 01:53:55,760
Speaker 5: each one of these school boards and municipal boards has

1768
01:53:55,800 --> 01:53:58,920
Speaker 5: turnover won to three candidates, and we've got to be prepared.

1769
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:04,800
Speaker 5: So this year exciting for sure, major major races this year,

1770
01:54:04,800 --> 01:54:08,639
Speaker 5: interestingly for the mayoral races and Brookfield Steve Ponta, who

1771
01:54:08,640 --> 01:54:12,040
Speaker 5: are supporting Scott Allen, we're supporting over in Waukesha, City

1772
01:54:12,040 --> 01:54:16,360
Speaker 5: of Waukesha for Riley's seats that's vacated. And then we've

1773
01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 5: got Elmbrook school board race. Waukesha school board races. It's

1774
01:54:20,800 --> 01:54:25,320
Speaker 5: a myriad of really really close races. Matt Rosick running

1775
01:54:25,360 --> 01:54:29,320
Speaker 5: for mayor out and o'conhomwalk so county wide, we've got

1776
01:54:29,320 --> 01:54:31,519
Speaker 5: a lot of races, We've got a lot of volunteers working.

1777
01:54:31,560 --> 01:54:34,560
Speaker 5: We are full full scale right now. But ultimately we

1778
01:54:34,600 --> 01:54:37,560
Speaker 5: want to drive that voter turnout up. If we do that,

1779
01:54:37,680 --> 01:54:40,800
Speaker 5: we feel we're in good shape to take the majority. Well,

1780
01:54:40,800 --> 01:54:42,880
Speaker 5: we've pretty much got all the majorities of all the

1781
01:54:42,960 --> 01:54:45,200
Speaker 5: school boards and municipal boards, but a couple of really

1782
01:54:45,240 --> 01:54:48,480
Speaker 5: tight races, especially Elmbrook and those mayor's races.

1783
01:54:48,680 --> 01:54:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does seem like Elmbrook school Board is always

1784
01:54:51,520 --> 01:54:55,480
Speaker 1: a contentious battle, but obviously a great weapon for conservatives

1785
01:54:55,600 --> 01:54:58,680
Speaker 1: running for those seats is the WIS Red initiative. Is

1786
01:54:58,720 --> 01:55:02,720
Speaker 1: that WIS red support and is the voter guide. I

1787
01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:05,600
Speaker 1: have long believed that one of the biggest things that

1788
01:55:06,120 --> 01:55:09,560
Speaker 1: conservative organizations the Republican Party can do is just put

1789
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:13,320
Speaker 1: together a voter guide. And I have been a huge fan,

1790
01:55:13,360 --> 01:55:15,280
Speaker 1: as you know, Terry, of what it is that you

1791
01:55:15,320 --> 01:55:17,840
Speaker 1: guys have been doing since twenty twenty ahead of the

1792
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:22,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one spring election and We're trying our best,

1793
01:55:22,040 --> 01:55:26,040
Speaker 1: I said, we are putting together the ultimate Conservative voter Guide. Obviously,

1794
01:55:26,120 --> 01:55:29,320
Speaker 1: Waukeshaw County has by far the most names on it

1795
01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:31,600
Speaker 1: thanks to the hard work that you do. And it

1796
01:55:31,680 --> 01:55:34,280
Speaker 1: is my goal to try to get this wis Red

1797
01:55:34,320 --> 01:55:39,600
Speaker 1: initiative duplicated in every other county in Wisconsin. I know

1798
01:55:39,680 --> 01:55:43,320
Speaker 1: that's been your goal as well. You faced some you

1799
01:55:43,440 --> 01:55:48,040
Speaker 1: faced some opposition intra party. Where do we stand right now?

1800
01:55:48,120 --> 01:55:51,920
Speaker 1: Are other counties picking this up? Is this something that

1801
01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:55,560
Speaker 1: you think can be replicated? Is the state party behind you?

1802
01:55:55,640 --> 01:55:58,520
Speaker 1: What are the what's the status or the efforts to

1803
01:55:58,560 --> 01:56:00,280
Speaker 1: get this more of a statewide thing?

1804
01:56:01,240 --> 01:56:03,600
Speaker 5: Sure? I mean I've been contacted by so many chairs

1805
01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:06,520
Speaker 5: around the state who said, boy, we need this in

1806
01:56:06,560 --> 01:56:10,440
Speaker 5: our county. There is a state party called the Farm Team.

1807
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:12,920
Speaker 5: It's there. It's their version. I think it was a

1808
01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:15,960
Speaker 5: takeoff of ours, and I think it's it's been fairly

1809
01:56:16,040 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 5: successful in some locations, and I think I think, you know,

1810
01:56:19,120 --> 01:56:22,240
Speaker 5: ultimately it's got to be a statewide program. We mis

1811
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:24,640
Speaker 5: read has some unique features to it, that's for sure.

1812
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:28,120
Speaker 5: I'd say in most of these counties that are picking

1813
01:56:28,240 --> 01:56:31,840
Speaker 5: up the farm Team or other local elections programs they're in,

1814
01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:34,760
Speaker 5: they're in the pretty early stages of doing that. I

1815
01:56:34,800 --> 01:56:37,440
Speaker 5: think our our real advantage is we've been able to

1816
01:56:37,480 --> 01:56:42,040
Speaker 5: scale right. So back in before two thousand, before we read,

1817
01:56:42,360 --> 01:56:47,120
Speaker 5: candidates would go out by themselves effect really effectively, the

1818
01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:51,160
Speaker 5: state party and even county parties were not interested in these, uh,

1819
01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:54,160
Speaker 5: nonpartisan races. But when they when these candidates would go out,

1820
01:56:54,200 --> 01:56:57,000
Speaker 5: they go out by themselves and and they'd really be

1821
01:56:57,280 --> 01:56:59,840
Speaker 5: kind of one man bands, uh, and it just made

1822
01:56:59,840 --> 01:57:02,080
Speaker 5: it very very confusing to the voter. It made it

1823
01:57:02,200 --> 01:57:05,960
Speaker 5: very difficult for those individual candidates to try and get

1824
01:57:05,960 --> 01:57:08,240
Speaker 5: the momentum in a very short sprint that we have.

1825
01:57:08,440 --> 01:57:12,120
Speaker 5: You know, this is only basically mid January through April seventh,

1826
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:14,440
Speaker 5: and we take a look at the take a look

1827
01:57:14,480 --> 01:57:18,160
Speaker 5: at the post primary, we're really only talking about a month.

1828
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:20,720
Speaker 5: So the idea that we were able to bundle all

1829
01:57:20,800 --> 01:57:24,560
Speaker 5: of these candidates, whether they're municipal or school board in

1830
01:57:24,600 --> 01:57:28,520
Speaker 5: a particular municipality or a particular area and sell them

1831
01:57:28,640 --> 01:57:32,360
Speaker 5: as the team under Wes read and brand the logo

1832
01:57:32,440 --> 01:57:36,560
Speaker 5: of wiss Red. So the average voter who's not really

1833
01:57:36,680 --> 01:57:39,440
Speaker 5: up to speed, not paying too much attention. We've had

1834
01:57:39,480 --> 01:57:42,560
Speaker 5: so many calls from people who just simply said, Dan,

1835
01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:45,600
Speaker 5: They said, Terry, finally you told us who to vote for.

1836
01:57:46,120 --> 01:57:48,400
Speaker 5: We don't have the time and we don't know all

1837
01:57:48,440 --> 01:57:51,200
Speaker 5: of these candidates and nuances of the issues. So you

1838
01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:54,600
Speaker 5: make it simple for us. And by scaling and bundling

1839
01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:58,600
Speaker 5: as a package and letting them understand the team approach,

1840
01:57:59,040 --> 01:58:01,520
Speaker 5: that has been what catapulted with Red and I'd love

1841
01:58:01,560 --> 01:58:04,120
Speaker 5: to be able to see us do that, and you know,

1842
01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:07,000
Speaker 5: most of the major red counties. If we do that,

1843
01:58:07,480 --> 01:58:10,400
Speaker 5: like Ron Johnson says, trickle up instead of spending all

1844
01:58:10,400 --> 01:58:12,320
Speaker 5: the money at the top and all the rest of that.

1845
01:58:12,600 --> 01:58:15,440
Speaker 5: If we do that, this state can be read every time.

1846
01:58:15,560 --> 01:58:19,200
Speaker 5: I'm convinced that that's our that's been our Achilles heels.

1847
01:58:19,240 --> 01:58:21,680
Speaker 5: The fact that we don't register enough voters number one,

1848
01:58:22,040 --> 01:58:24,400
Speaker 5: and we don't get voters out at the local level.

1849
01:58:24,880 --> 01:58:28,160
Speaker 5: At the local level, voters tend to pay attention and

1850
01:58:28,200 --> 01:58:32,480
Speaker 5: then they become habitual voters. They don't take elections off.

1851
01:58:32,880 --> 01:58:34,720
Speaker 5: And you know, I don't like to give kudos to

1852
01:58:34,760 --> 01:58:37,560
Speaker 5: the other side, but that's what they've been very effective

1853
01:58:37,560 --> 01:58:40,520
Speaker 5: at doing for many years, is making sure that their

1854
01:58:40,560 --> 01:58:44,200
Speaker 5: voters vote every single election cycle, which we don't. And

1855
01:58:44,240 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 5: if you have a candidate who comes off the ballots,

1856
01:58:46,360 --> 01:58:49,440
Speaker 5: say President Trump, that there isn't a fall off from

1857
01:58:49,480 --> 01:58:52,080
Speaker 5: that because people still believe that it's necessary at their

1858
01:58:52,120 --> 01:58:54,440
Speaker 5: local level on up to be able to get out

1859
01:58:54,440 --> 01:58:56,760
Speaker 5: there and vote and vote. And so looking at the

1860
01:58:56,920 --> 01:59:00,920
Speaker 5: entire WIS Red array of touching those vot voters five, six,

1861
01:59:01,040 --> 01:59:04,360
Speaker 5: seven times in a forty five day period is so

1862
01:59:04,560 --> 01:59:08,320
Speaker 5: much more effective in getting those voters to become habitual,

1863
01:59:08,400 --> 01:59:11,040
Speaker 5: which is what we need on the Republican side here

1864
01:59:11,040 --> 01:59:11,680
Speaker 5: in Wisconsin.

1865
01:59:11,920 --> 01:59:15,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely, just look for the WIS Read Voter Guide at

1866
01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:20,160
Speaker 1: the Waukeshaw County GOP page. Terry Dietrich is the chairman

1867
01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:23,720
Speaker 1: of the Waukeshaw County Republican Party. Terry, as you know,

1868
01:59:23,800 --> 01:59:26,960
Speaker 1: I am a huge, huge, huge supporter of WIS Red

1869
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:30,760
Speaker 1: and your efforts to take this more to a statewide level,

1870
01:59:30,800 --> 01:59:33,880
Speaker 1: because you're right, Senator Johnson is right, we need to

1871
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:37,680
Speaker 1: have trickle up politics. The Democrats have figured this out.

1872
01:59:37,720 --> 01:59:41,240
Speaker 1: They have been contesting every single election statewide. They are

1873
01:59:41,280 --> 01:59:43,960
Speaker 1: not taking any one of their voters for granted. They

1874
01:59:43,960 --> 01:59:47,160
Speaker 1: have basically maxed out their voter registration. I am convinced

1875
01:59:47,200 --> 01:59:50,080
Speaker 1: of that that every liberal in this state is already

1876
01:59:50,080 --> 01:59:52,880
Speaker 1: registered to vote. They are already voting Democrat. We've got

1877
01:59:53,040 --> 01:59:58,920
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of potential conservative voters who aren't. All right, Terry,

1878
01:59:59,200 --> 02:00:01,440
Speaker 1: I know it's a busy, good evening for you, so

1879
02:00:01,960 --> 02:00:05,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna let you go. Really do appreciate you stopping by.

1880
02:00:05,120 --> 02:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Let's touch base again very soon.

1881
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:10,560
Speaker 5: Okay, absolutely, thanks Dan. Everybody, come on, get out and

1882
02:00:10,600 --> 02:00:14,080
Speaker 5: vote all conservatives from this county. This is a red cony.

1883
02:00:14,240 --> 02:00:15,080
Speaker 5: Let's go out more him.

1884
02:00:15,480 --> 02:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Absolutely it is. You're listening to the Dan o'donald Show.

1885
02:00:18,480 --> 02:00:21,800
Speaker 1: When we come back, words of advice from President Trump

1886
02:00:21,880 --> 02:00:24,760
Speaker 1: to wrap up this edition, this busy broadcast week, you're

1887
02:00:24,800 --> 02:00:26,560
Speaker 1: on The Dan o'donald Show and much much more.

1888
02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:35,400
Speaker 2: Stay tune, we're coming right back, folks.

1889
02:00:35,400 --> 02:00:38,120
Speaker 1: Did want to get to words of wisdom from President

1890
02:00:38,160 --> 02:00:41,240
Speaker 1: Trump in his interview with Jake Paul of all people today,

1891
02:00:41,440 --> 02:00:44,120
Speaker 1: looks like we are not going to have enough time.

1892
02:00:44,680 --> 02:00:48,080
Speaker 1: Just want to say, hope everybody stays warm, stays safe,

1893
02:00:48,120 --> 02:00:50,680
Speaker 1: the snow, the ice, the sleep, all of it. Heading

1894
02:00:50,760 --> 02:00:53,720
Speaker 1: our way, hunkered down, spend time with some loved ones

Speaker 1: face another week. We are back here on the Dan

1898
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:05,640
Speaker 1: and stay safe Wisconsin.
