13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: It is a busy broadcast day as always. Here's what

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: we're working on right now. President Trump meeting with House

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Republicans today at their annual retreat at the Trump Kennedy Center,

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: and he actually made a big call for national voter ID.

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: You want to have voter ID, you want to insist

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: on it.

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: You want to insist on it.

20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 3: Can you imagine in California they not only don't have

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 3: voter ID, but if an official at the voting boots,

22
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 3: which they don't have by the way because it's all male.

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 3: If an official, a voting official, even asks somebody for

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 3: voter ID, so would like to see your identification? Do

25
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: you come from our country?

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: They put him in jail for tampering with the election.

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 3: Okay, we got to straighten this out before it gets

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: too crazy.

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: We will discuss in the four o'clock hour why this

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: Save Act simply must be past this House and Senate session.

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: Vice President JD.

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: Vance meanwhile, is responding to the arrest of a now

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: confirmed transgender radical leftist who attacked his family home in

34
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: Ohio yesterday.

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: Yes, this person probably assumed we were still there, decided

36
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: to make an attack. Guy, I don't know if they

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: were trying to break in, that's my intuition, just because

38
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 4: they went and hammered the windows. But of course, you know,

39
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 4: we have stronger windows than most because I'm a protectee

40
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 4: of the Secret Service and so, you know, eventually realized

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 4: they weren't getting anywhere, ran off and were captured by

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 4: the Secret Service as they tried to escape. That's my understanding.

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 4: I do think they have somebody in custody. It appears,

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 4: you know, well, I'll let the investigation play itself out.

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: A little bit more.

46
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 4: It's exactly what the motive was, but clearly a very

47
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 4: sick individual. The good thing is why kids are young

48
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 4: enough they have no idea what's going on, and they

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 4: don't read the news, so they have no idea that

50
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 4: their home was attacked by a crazy person with a hammer.

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 4: But you know, it just it is what it is. Obviously,

52
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 4: we saw what happened with the president of the year

53
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 4: and a half ago. Thank god he's okay. There are

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: crazy people out there, and we're thankful for the Secret

55
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: Service and the grace of God that we're still here

56
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 4: to do the.

57
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: Job that we can. Also in Minnesota, Governor Tim Walls

58
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: continue to ramble incoherently today about Trump, a day after

59
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: abandoning his bid for reelection amid a widening some Malli

60
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: daycare fraud.

61
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 5: This is a decision that I make and make with

62
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 5: my family, and certainly I think, as I said, it's

63
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 5: the right decision.

64
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: We all note.

65
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 5: I think it's appropriate. We're here today the war that's

66
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 5: being waged against Minnesota. You're seeing it. We have a

67
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 5: ridiculous surge of apparently two thousand people not coordinating with us,

68
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 5: that are for a show of the cameras. I'm going

69
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 5: to note to all of you today is January sixth.

70
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 5: There's no debate what happened. The President of the United

71
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 5: States led an insurrection against a fair election to try

72
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 5: and overturn that. And you know report both sides of this. Well,

73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 5: you know, he said he really didn't. And courts convicted

74
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 5: four hundred of them and he pardoned them.

75
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: No, he did that.

76
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: And January sixth is where we begin here on the

77
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell show, the Liberal high Holy Day, the fifth

78
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: anniversary of the only violent insurrection in world history where

79
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: the attackers stayed inside the velvet ropes.

80
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: Folks, I have been.

81
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: Saying for five straight years now, it was very obviously

82
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: a riot. It was a dark day in the history

83
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: of America and the history of conservatism. But pretty much

84
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: it has been one of the most misunderstood and frankly

85
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: openly lied about events in recent American history. For example, today,

86
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: even five years later, even after people like me have

87
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: been debunking this nonsense for five straight years, I am

88
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: still hearing that four Capitol Police officers died during the

89
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: January sixth attacks.

90
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 2: The reality is none of them died.

91
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Not Brian Sicknick, not Howard Leebinouod, not any of them.

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: But this hasn't stopped the media, which initially, and I

93
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: mean within hours hours of learning of the death of

94
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: Officer sick Nik, reported that a he had been hit

95
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: in the head with a fire extinguisher and b died

96
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: because he had been hit in the head with a

97
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: fire extend. The flags at the US Capitol are at

98
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: half staff this morning for the police officer Brian Sicknick,

99
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: who was murdered this week. Officer Brian Sicknick, he died

100
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: from injuries after being struck in the head by a

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: fire extinguisher during the storming of the Capitol. Officer Sicknigg

102
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: is only the fourth Capitol Police officer to be killed

103
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: in the line of duty since the force was actually founded.

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: Officer Siknick, who was.

105
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 6: Killed murdered there.

106
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: By the lab the murder of Officer Brian Sicknick by

107
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: Trump supporters.

108
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 5: One of the top priorities for prosecutors is the hunt

109
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 5: for cop killers, the people responsible for the murder of

110
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 5: US Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick.

111
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: Sycknic collapsed several hours after the riot ended.

112
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: He died of.

113
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: Two strokes or cerebral hemorrhages in the early morning hours

114
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: of January seventh. In April of twenty twenty one, the

115
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: DC Chief Medical Examiner ruled that the cause of death

116
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: was natural causes. There was no indication that he had

117
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: been hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. There

118
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: was no indication that he had encountered any sort of

119
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: violent protesters whatsoever. There was no evidence of blunt force

120
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: trauma in that autopsy or anything else. He died of

121
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: natural causes. Now, yes, you can claim that he was

122
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: stressed out, much like George Floyd was several months earlier

123
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: that because of all of the drugs in Floyd's system. Now,

124
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: Signik had no drugs in his system, but obviously had

125
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: a cerebral hemorrhage or something in his brain that made

126
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: him prone to sudden death. But it wasn't as a

127
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: direct result of being hit in the head or some sort.

128
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: Of violent attack. He died of natural causes.

129
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: Some of the other Capitol Police officer deaths and I

130
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: have seen this over and over on social media. Today,

131
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: on the fifth anniversary of the Liberal High Holy Day,

132
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: there were a couple of suicides of Capitol Police officers

133
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: in the days and weeks after January six that have

134
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: just sort of been lumped together in this death toll.

135
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: Howard Leebanouod died by suicide on January ninth. There was

136
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: nothing to indicate that he was injured in the riot

137
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: at the Capitol or anything like that. He unfortunately, was

138
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: a very troubled individual who took his own life. Same

139
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: thing with Jeffrey Smith, not of the Capitol Police, but

140
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: of the DC Metropolitan Police, who also killed himself on

141
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: January fifteenth. Now, there are two other Capital and Metropolitan

142
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: Police officers who died by suicide months after January sixth,

143
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: but are still counted in the five officers dead as

144
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: a result of January sixth. Gunther Hashida died by suicide

145
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: in July of twenty twenty one. Now, he was part

146
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: of the emergency response team that secured the Capitol, but

147
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: there was no official connect to the riot. There was

148
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 1: no connection between his death and what happened on January sixth.

149
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: But because there needs to be this narrative that brave

150
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: Capitol Police officers and brave DC Metro Police officers died

151
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: because of the evil MAGA crowd that stormed the Capitol,

152
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: and fomented the worst insurrection since the Civil War. Don't worry,

153
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: we'll debunk that myth coming up in just a second.

154
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: His death is like Kyle D. Frytag, another DC Metro

155
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: Police officer who took his own life the following month,

156
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: in July of twenty twenty one. Their deaths are lumped

157
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: into this supposed death toll from January sixth. Now, Defrytag

158
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: wasn't even at the Capitol at January sixth when the

159
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: riot was going on. He was actually enforcing curfew that night.

160
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: He was not involved in any direct clashes, so any

161
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: attempt to tie his death is unfortunate. Suicide in July

162
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one to the riot at the Capitol

163
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: several months earlier is disingenuous at best, and dishonest in

164
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: the extreme at worst. There were four people who did

165
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: die during the riot, three from medical emergencies. There was

166
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: a stroke. There were two heart attacks of people who

167
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: were at January sixth that were completely unrelated to any violence.

168
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: They were just in the crowd and they happened to

169
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: suffer medical emergencies. It's unfortunate, it's tragic, but it does happen.

170
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: The only homicide on January sixth was of Ashley Babbitt,

171
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: who was an unarmed Capitol rioter who was shot and

172
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: killed by a Capitol Police lieutenant in what appeared to be,

173
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: via video evidence, the single most irresponsible and unjustified police

174
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: shootings of a year in which police violence was under

175
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: the microscope again because of George Floyd, who died in

176
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: May of twenty twenty, she was the only homicide, but

177
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: because she couldn't be seen as a sympathetic figure even

178
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: though she was probably one hundred and fifteen pounds soaking

179
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: wet and was shot through a door, there needed to

180
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: be an imagination, an imaginary series of Capitol Police victims.

181
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: So this five year long narrative that there were somehow

182
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: five Capital Police officers who died on January sixth that

183
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: took hold in the national medium. This idea, also that

184
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: this was somehow the worst insurrection since the Civil War,

185
00:10:52,960 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: is absolute laughable nonsense. Democrats, I believe, are intentionally ignoring

186
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: some actual insurrections that were fomented by Democrats throughout history.

187
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: In eighteen ninety eight, there was a successful coup in Wilmington,

188
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: North Carolina, armed mobs of Democrats were very upset that

189
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: Republicans in the area elected a multi racial government. At

190
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: least sixty black people were killed, thousands of people were

191
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 1: physically removed from Wilmington, North Carolina. This was an actual coup.

192
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: This was an actual successful insurrection against the democratically elected government.

193
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: Not only that, this was not even the worst attack

194
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: on Congress. In nineteen fifty four, four Puerto Rican nationalists

195
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: open fire from the House gallery injuring five congressmen during

196
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: a session. This was a direct assault on the legislative

197
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: branch of government, and it was done by fundamentally left

198
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: wing terrorists. Not only that, you had the Weather Underground

199
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: bombing the Capitol in nineteen seventy one to protest the

200
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: Vietnam War. There was significant damage, Fortunately there were no deaths.

201
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty three, the Armed Resistance Unit, which was

202
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: very similar to the Weather Underground, a leftist group, detonated

203
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: a bomb in the Senate wing of the Capitol. It

204
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: also caused damage, but did no human costs, no injuries,

205
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: no deaths, nothing like that. Those were direct attacks on

206
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: the Capitol. This, to borrow the left's parlance, was a

207
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: protest that got out of control. The idea also that

208
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: President Trump was encouraging this violence, was telling people to

209
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: go to the Capitol and bust some stuff, go to

210
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: the Capitol and lynch Mike Pence so that he would

211
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: declare Donald Trump the legitimate winner of the election. Is

212
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: simply nonsensical, and it's directly refuted by what President Trump

213
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: himself said that day during his speech on the Capitol elict,

214
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to.

215
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: The Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.

216
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: Peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. When President Trump

217
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: addressed House Republicans today during their annual retreat, he actually

218
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: made mention of that and said, look, I have been

219
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: completely maligned for five years because nobody wants to report

220
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: on the fact that I said we are going to

221
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: march peacefully and patriotically down to the Capitol when they say.

222
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 3: As an example in my speech, peacefully and patriotically to

223
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: the Capitol, peacefully and patriotically. Do you know that the

224
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 3: Unselect Committee didn't report it that I said those words.

225
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 3: Do you know that the news never reported wards walk

226
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 3: or march peacefully and patriotically to the Capital. Do you

227
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 3: know they never reported a scandal. The Unselect Committee never

228
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: reported them.

229
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 2: Why didn't they report that?

230
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: Because it proves that President Trump was not behind the rioting.

231
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: He was not behind the violence, He was not encouraging it.

232
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: He wanted a protest of what he legitimately believed. And

233
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: now five years later, I think we can all agree.

234
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: Was an election, especially down in Georgia where we know

235
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: there were three hundred plus voter registrations and ballots that

236
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: were cast not in accordance with Georgia state law. He

237
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: was protesting against and people were there to protest against

238
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: an election that they saw as not being on the

239
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: up and up. So who was ultimately responsible for the

240
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: lack of security of the capital. We'll dive into that

241
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: myth as well. So how are you celebrating the high

242
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: liberal holy day of January sixth? Are you leaving out

243
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi's lectern hoping that that one guy will come

244
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: and steal it? Are you leaving out some Viking horn

245
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: helmets for the QAnon shaman? What a crazy day. Welcome

246
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: back to the Dan o'donnald Show. I was actually watching

247
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: it all unfold with Mark Belling here in the WISN

248
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: studio and I was especially concerned by the events as

249
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: I was following along with the national news coverage of

250
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: what was going on at the Capitol, as well as

251
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: on x than Twitter before Elon Musk purchased it about

252
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: a year and a half, almost two years later. It

253
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: was deeply concerning to me because my wife and my

254
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: mother and father in law were actually there. They had

255
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: gone for that protest of the twenty twenty election, and

256
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: they said there were hundreds of thousands of people who

257
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: really were peacefully marching and singing and dancing and just

258
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: enjoying being a part of a democratic movement. When I

259
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: saw Ashley Babbitt shot to death, and it was very

260
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: obvious with the social media video that was coming in

261
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: that she was killed, I frantically called my wife and said, Honey,

262
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: you've got to get out of there. A woman just

263
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: got killed in the Capitol. It does not say get

264
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: your mom, get your dad. You've got to go. You've

265
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: got to run.

266
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 3: You know what.

267
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: Her response was, what are you talking about? People are

268
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: out here singing God Bless America. Sure enough, she turned

269
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: the phone around so that I could hear a bunch

270
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: of old ladies singing God bless America. They were on

271
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,239
Speaker 1: the other side of the capitol. They had no idea

272
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: what was going on. And in fact, I said, Megan,

273
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: you don't understand someone was just killed in the capitol.

274
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: She repeated it. She goes, you, guys, someone just got

275
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: killed in the Capitol. And I could hear all of

276
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: the people around her what haught No way, that was

277
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: their experience of January sixth. They had no idea that

278
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: there was any violence going on. And of course, yes,

279
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: this does now mark five years since leftists have attempted

280
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: to dox my in laws or attempted to hector me

281
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: by trying to say, well, Dan, I'm going to contact

282
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: the FBI. Does the FBI know that your family was

283
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: rioting on January sixth?

284
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: Yeah?

285
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: I had my mother in law on the radio that

286
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: morning to do a scene setter. I wrote a read,

287
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: rather a lengthy note that my father in law wrote

288
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: on his reflections of January sixth, the day afterwards, what

289
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: he experienced on January sixth. In fact, I'm going to

290
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: try to find that it's on an old server from

291
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: our WISN website.

292
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: Maybe on the fifth anniversary.

293
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: It's worth reading again.

294
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: But this no holders the FBI. Yeah.

295
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: Yes, obviously, my in laws, by virtue of their connection

296
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: with me, were probably some of the very first people

297
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: investigated here in Wisconsin for their ties to Jena. They

298
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: were nowhere near the capital. You absolute morons. But this

299
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: notion that somehow Donald Trump was responsible not just for

300
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: inciting the mob by saying, hey, now we're all going

301
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: to peacefully and patriotically march to the capitol, And in fact,

302
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: if you go by the time stamps on when people

303
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: first breached the capitol, it was when Trump was still speaking. Remember,

304
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: you had hundreds of thousands of people who were peacefully

305
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,199
Speaker 1: and patriotically walking to the capitol. My in laws and

306
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: my wife included in that massive number. They were listening

307
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: to what Trump said. And even the people who were

308
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: inside the capitol, the vast majority of the people who

309
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: got inside the Capitol, yes, they did go in.

310
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: Through open doors.

311
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: Video that was released by Kevin McCarthy when he took

312
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: over as House speaker and put on the air on

313
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: the Tucker Carlson Show absolutely proved beyond any doubt that

314
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: Capitol police officers were letting people into the capitol. This

315
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: wasn't scandalous, it wasn't like, oh my gosh, they were

316
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: trying to get people to get themselves in trouble. This

317
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: was sort of the posture that law enforcement was taking

318
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: at the time. Remember, January sixth did not happen in

319
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: a vacuum, ladies and gentlemen. The left tries to convince

320
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: you that the only protest, the only riot, the only

321
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: insurrection against government property in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one

322
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: was January sixth. No, we had had an entire summer

323
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: of this, when law enforcement agencies all across the country

324
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: often times were given orders to stand down because the

325
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: mob was simply outnumbering them to such a great extent

326
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: that there would be a tremendous amount of either loss

327
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: of life or severe physical injuries to law enforcement agents.

328
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: So they were saying, okay, just let the mob kind

329
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,959
Speaker 1: of do what it wants to do, make sure they

330
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: don't do too much damage. So the idea is, okay,

331
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: come on, go in. I guess the protest is at

332
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: the capitol.

333
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 3: Now.

334
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: People who were letting people into the Capitol at one

335
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: end had no idea about the violence that was going

336
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: on at the other end, because the people who were

337
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: flowing in were as I said, and the video does

338
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:49,479
Speaker 1: prove staying in the velvet rope lines. Even the QAnon shaman,

339
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: the guy with the big Viking horns, and the Pelts

340
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: who was standing at the speaker's dais, there was video

341
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: that showed him being led through the capitole by police officers.

342
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: They assumed that this was just a demonstration, that this

343
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: was just a protest.

344
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: Of course it.

345
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: Wasn't, and there was inadequate security to respond to it.

346
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: Who ultimately was to blame, Well, if you believe her,

347
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: it was Nancy Pelosi, who was House Speaker at the time.

348
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: She has repeatedly admitted that she was to blame, including

349
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: this clip, which was actually released by her own daughter

350
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: in a documentary film she made.

351
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 5: We had responsibility, Terry. We did not have any accountability

352
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 5: for what was going on there, and we should have.

353
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 5: This is ridiculous.

354
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: You're gonna ask me in the middle of the thing,

355
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: when they've already breached the innaugural.

356
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 6: Stuff, that that.

357
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 7: Should recall the Capitol police.

358
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 6: I mean they have National Guard.

359
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 5: Why wasn't the National Guard are there to begin with?

360
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 5: They thought that they had sufficient.

361
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: Well, no question, I don't know.

362
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 3: They clearly didn't.

363
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 5: Know and I take responsibility for not having them just

364
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 5: prepared before.

365
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: I take responsibility for not having them prepare for more.

366
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: The question of who actually is responsible for deploying National

367
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: Guard troops to the Capitol, it's not totally black and white.

368
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: It's not President Trump, it's not Nancy Pelosi. It is

369
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: the Capitol Police Board. Pelosi, though, is responsible for the

370
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: House side of security through the appointment and direction of

371
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: the House Sergeant at Arms at the time, it was

372
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: Paul Irving, now the Capitol Police chief at the time.

373
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: Stephen sund testified that he did in fact request National

374
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: Guard assistants six times before the riot and during the riot,

375
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 1: but all six of these requests were nie or delayed,

376
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: including by Paul Irving, who again reported directly to Nancy Pelosi.

377
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: Sunned in later interviews, said that both House and Senate

378
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: leaders aides said they didn't want a National Guard presence.

379
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: What they wanted was a lighter security footprint to avoid

380
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: the optics that dominated television screens during the twenty twenty

381
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: George Floyd ryots. This included a call three days earlier

382
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: in which the Sergeant at Arms, Irving, said he had

383
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: concerns about the optics said he needed to quote run

384
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: it clean, meaning that he needed to consult with Pelosi.

385
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: He couldn't have National Guard troops beating the holy hell

386
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: out of protesters up and down the US capital. The

387
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: bottom line was that the leaders of both the House

388
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: and the Senate said, look, we don't want the optics

389
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: of what people saw throughout the Summer of Love twenty twenty.

390
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: We want to make sure that this doesn't look like Say,

391
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: how about the attempted insurrection at the White House shortly

392
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: after George Floyd's death. Remember when leftist protesters were trying

393
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: to scale the security fence outside of the White House

394
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: and the Secret Service actually needed to move President Trump

395
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: to a secure location underneath the White House and the

396
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 1: White House basement. What was the posture of the media

397
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: and the Democrats then, It was to call Trump a

398
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: wuss because he was scared of the protesters. No, the

399
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: president has very little control over security issues. The Secret

400
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: Service gets what it wants when it comes to protecting

401
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: the President's life, and the Secret Service actually determined that

402
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: the President's life could have potentially been in danger when

403
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: all of those left wing zombies attempted to breach the

404
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: gates of the White House.

405
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: Well, the decision was made that they didn't.

406
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: Want to have an out of control image across everybody

407
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: the's television screens, so that Nancy Pelosi and sunned at

408
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: all of these people were saying, okay, okay, we're going

409
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: to have a lighter touch. Well, Pelosi eventually had enough

410
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: of Stephen sund the Capitol Police Chief, saying yeah, this

411
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: was coming from Nancy Pelosi's orbit, This was coming from

412
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: people close to Nancy Pelosi saying no, no, no, no, no,

413
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: we don't want these bad optics. So she openly called

414
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: for him to be ousted. And he has since and

415
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 1: granted he does have a reason politically, and he does

416
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: have a reason personally to not be completely honest about

417
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: this after Pelosi basically forced him to resign his position,

418
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: he has been out in interview after interview saying yes,

419
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: these were Pelosi's aides, These were people connected to Nancy

420
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: Pelosi denying our requests for National Guard assistance. The treatment

421
00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: of the January sixth defendants is another thing that has

422
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: been openly lied about in traditional media and in Democrat

423
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: influencer talking points. We'll set the record straight on that

424
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: next as we're sort of debunking some of the worst

425
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: left wing myths on this the fifth anniversary of the

426
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: January sixth riot, I feel like we may need to

427
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: debunk a myth on the right. At a number of

428
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: people email and text saying, Dan, don't call it a riot.

429
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't a riot. It was absolutely a riot. This

430
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: is the dictionary definition of a riot. Just because not

431
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: everybody who was inside the Capitol was rioting does not

432
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: mean there was nobody rioting. In fact, there were plenty

433
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: of people rioting. There were violent clashes with police officers.

434
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: There were police officers who were injured. It actually hurts

435
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: our cause when we talk about this as now a

436
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: historical event, when we fail to acknowledge reality. This was

437
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 1: not an insurrection. This was not an attempt to overthrow

438
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 1: the duly elected government of the United States.

439
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 2: But it was a protest that got out of control.

440
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: This was a riot.

441
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: This was the textbook definition of what a riot is.

442
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: It was also a very peaceful demonstration outside the capitol.

443
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: As I said, the people in my family who were

444
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: there had no idea what was going on inside the capitol.

445
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: I told them, thousands of miles away in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,

446
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: what was going on at the US Capitol. They had

447
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: no idea, and there were hundreds of thousands of people

448
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: who similarly had no idea. Hey, you know who else

449
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: was very very far away from all of the rioting

450
00:27:54,840 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: at the capitol. AOC representative Alexandria Ocassio Corte, who was

451
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: in an office building that is blocks away from the

452
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: US Capitol is nowhere near the Capitol.

453
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 2: That's where she was when all of the rioting was

454
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: going on.

455
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: She still told Dana bash Over at CNN that she

456
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: was worried.

457
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,439
Speaker 2: That the mob would rape and murder her.

458
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 7: I didn't think that I was just going to be killed.

459
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 8: I thought other things were going to happen to me

460
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 8: as well. So what sounds like what you're telling me

461
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 8: right now is that you didn't only think that you

462
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 8: were going to die, You thought you were going to

463
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 8: be raped.

464
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

465
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought I was, Oh my goodness, so melodramatic.

466
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: I thought I was going to be raped. You're nowhere

467
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: near the United States Capitol.

468
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: One of the gravest injustices about misremembering what happened on

469
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: January sixth and after words was the gross and widespread

470
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: violation of due process rights twenty twenty in Toto was

471
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: I believe the single worst infringement on civil liberties that

472
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: this country has ever seen. Never before had the entire

473
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: nation's First Amendment association rights been violated at one time.

474
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is you were no

475
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: longer free to associate with members of your family who

476
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: lived outside of your home. Here in Wisconsin. If you

477
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: were to go to say, your mother's house, she lived

478
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: in a different home than you did, you were taking

479
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: the kids to go see grandma and grandpa, all of

480
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: you could be subject to arrest and imprisonment. That's a

481
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: fundamental and gross violation of your First Amendment right to

482
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: associate with a member of your family. First Amendment freedom

483
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: of religion rights were violated when churches were not allowed

484
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: to hold services. All of us just sort of submitted

485
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: to it. There were very few of us who at

486
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: the time, and I'm proud to say I was one

487
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: of them, saying, hey, look, we consent to this as

488
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: the governed right. Government exists because of the consent of

489
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: the governed, so we I guess the governed are consenting

490
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: to this. But it is an incredible infringement on the

491
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: rights that we have as Americans. So with all of

492
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: that sort of as a backdrop, I think people were

493
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: sort of conditioned to be okay with the quote unquote

494
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: insurrectionists just kind of being thrown into a gulog and

495
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: not actually charged.

496
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: For months and months and months.

497
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right of a defendant to

498
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: a speedy trial. That was just completely ignored. While DC

499
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: prosecutors said, well, the sheer size and scope of the

500
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: case is such that we need time to go through

501
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: all of the evidence and look at all of the

502
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: video evidence.

503
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 2: Well, at the same.

504
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: Time, people were sitting in jail without any knowledge they

505
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: had their habeas corpus rights grossly violated because they were

506
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: never told what it was that they were going to

507
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: be charged with, and when they were charged, they were

508
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: massively overcharged. Prosecutors misused an obstruction provision in the Sarbanes

509
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: Oxley Act to try three hundred and fifty or so defendants. Now,

510
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: the Sarbanes Oxley Act was enacted in response to the

511
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: Enron scandal of the early two thousands, and it applies

512
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: to corporate governance. The case went all the way up

513
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: to the United States Supreme Court in a case called

514
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,239
Speaker 1: Fisher v. Unit United States. Just last year, technically two

515
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: years ago, twenty twenty four, the court rule six to

516
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: three that the government made the statute overly broad to

517
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: get a charge against these three hundred and fifty defendants

518
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: where it clearly didn't apply, not only that there were

519
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: significant Brady violations. What a Brady violation is It stems

520
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: from the case Brady v. Maryland, where the prosecution cannot

521
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: withhold what's known as exculpatory evidence from you, evidence that

522
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: tends to prove that you were not guilty. Evidence such

523
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: as surveillance video showing police allowing people in and nearly

524
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: all of the supposed rioters who are being held in

525
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: the DC gulags actually behaving peacefully, was eventually released on

526
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: The Tucker Carlson Show, as tons of hours of surveillance

527
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: video was provided by how Speaker Kevin McCarthy as soon

528
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: as he took over after Republicans won the House in

529
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two midterms. What the world was able

530
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: to see and what swiftly led to a number of releases,

531
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: was the fact that yes, a lot of these people

532
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: entered the Capitol on the mistaken belief that they were

533
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: being allowed in from people who knew better than them,

534
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: whether or not they were allowed in the capital ie

535
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: Capitol police officers, metropolitan police officers who were just sort

536
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: of waiving them in. That's all on video. Not only that,

537
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: the jail conditions that these people were let in. Remember,

538
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: most of them were denied bail because they weren't just

539
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: trespassers that they didn't just commit a very minor offense.

540
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: They were accused of conspiring to take down the government

541
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: of the United States, so prosecutors and DC judges were

542
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: allowing them to be held without bail. Even the US

543
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: Marshal's Office found that there were quote systemic failures in

544
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: the conditions of the jails where the defendants were held.

545
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: These people were treated so unfairly by a DC court

546
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: system that was hell bent on securing as many convictions

547
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: on as many overcharges as it could possibly get that

548
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: it didn't care about the rights of the accused, ironic

549
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: since Democrats purport to always be concerned about the rights

550
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: of the accused. Most of those defendants were subsequently pardoned

551
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: by President Trump when he retook office early last year,

552
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 1: and thank goodness he did, because the vast majority of them,

553
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 1: the ones who didn't commit any violent crimes were treated

554
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: horribly unfairly and unconstitutionally by a government that completely neglected

555
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: trampled on their rights. Unhinged liberal of the day coming

556
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: up next here on The Dan o'donald's Show. It is

557
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: important to always, always, whenever possible, set the record straight.

558
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: Whenever there's an opportunity for leftists to lie about something,

559
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: especially something as significant as what has sort of formed

560
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 1: the basis of their politics for the past five years

561
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: as January sixth, you absolutely do need to counter them

562
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: with facts and evidence. That's why we exist here on

563
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: The Dan o'donald's Show, and that's why we spent much

564
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: of the last hour debunking pretty much every lie that

565
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: you have heard or are likely to hear in coverage

566
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 1: of the fifth anniversary of January sixth. This is truly

567
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: the first draft of history, and if it goes unchallenged,

568
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: when liberals attempt to write a fictitious version of it,

569
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 1: and that is what gets remembered. It is my duty

570
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: here on this show to present you with the truth

571
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: and nothing but and also to have a lot of

572
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: fun along the way.

573
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 2: To wit let's name, Today's unhinged liberal.

574
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 3: Of the name.

575
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: We are in pre Nazi Germany.

576
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 2: Proper is dangerous because he's evil.

577
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 9: America Today's unhinged Live none other than Jasmine Crockett, Texas representative,

578
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 9: candidate for a Senate and potty mouth when talking about

579
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 9: the United States Supreme Court and redistricting.

580
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 10: Definitely kudos to the Trump justice who wrote the one

581
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 10: hundred and sixty page opinion denouncing what took place in

582
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 10: Texas and talking to the Supreme Court for what they

583
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 10: did as well as you know, we'll see what happens

584
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 10: in some other places.

585
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: Ah Okay, gotta love Jasmine Crockett discovering Instagram live and

586
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: just sort of making her own videos.

587
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 2: By the way she was on the View today, this ain't.

588
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 7: About Venezuelan's I get that there are people that don't

589
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 7: like the leader, but guess what, there are a lot

590
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 7: of people that don't like our leader. And regardless, somebody

591
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 7: coming into the United States and grabbing our leader in

592
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 7: the middle of the night and killing people in this country,

593
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 7: I'm sure everybody would be outraged at them doing it

594
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 7: that way.

595
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 2: Yeah.

596
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: The only problem with that is no nation ever possibly

597
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: could Jasmine Crockett, your unhinged Liberal of the day. Coming

598
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: off after the top of the hour, we dive into

599
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: National Voter ID and get you the daily Trump Day.

600
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: You're on the Dan O'donnald Show once again, ladies and gentlemen,

601
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 1: as we discuss the fifth anniversary of the liberal high

602
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: Holy Day, January sixth. Yes, I know it's Orthodox Christmas.

603
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,760
Speaker 1: Yes I know, it's twelfth night, the twelfth day of Christmas,

604
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: the traditional end of the Christmas celebration. But no, no, no, no, no,

605
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: no no, we have a new holiday. It's even more

606
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: real than Kwanza. It is January sixth, the fake Insurrection Day.

607
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: As we talk about that and we debunk all of

608
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: the lies that the left tells, it is also important

609
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: that we debunk the misinformation that still exists coming from

610
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: the right. Unfortunately, coming from the White House. The White

611
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: House is put together a website a page at white

612
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: House dot gov it is wh dot gov slash Jay six,

613
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: in which they continue to push this demonstrably false idea

614
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: that somehow Mike Pence, then the Vice President, could have

615
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: simply refused to certify the votes of the electoral College

616
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: and sent the votes back to the state legislatures. This

617
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: is beyond false, and I will prove it to you.

618
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 1: Could Kamala Harris have done it in twenty twenty four,

619
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 1: Could Joe Biden have done it in twenty sixteen? Would

620
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: you have screamed bloody murder if they tried? If Joe

621
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: Biden said, you know what, we have ample evidence that

622
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: the Russians hacked into the election, and we're actually going

623
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: to send this back to the state legislatures. The Vice President,

624
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: and I must be crystal clear here, has no constitutionally

625
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: delegated power except one to serve as President of the

626
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: Senate and to break fifty fifty ties if needed.

627
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 2: That's it. That's the only role that he has authorized

628
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 2: under the constitution.

629
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: The idea that the founders went to such great lengths

630
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: to preserve the voice in the vote of the people

631
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: that they created a system called the electoral college, which

632
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: seems way more complex than it needs to be, just

633
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: so big state populations weren't able to dominate smaller state

634
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: populations in the one national election that we have. You

635
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: think they went to all that trouble just so the

636
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 1: guy with no specifically authorized constitutional duties could say, yeah, no,

637
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 1: that election doesn't count. We're gonna send it back. We're

638
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: going to run it again because I don't like how

639
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: this thing looks. It's false, It always was false, it

640
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: always will be, Folks. I know there are a lot

641
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 1: of people, amateur constitutional lawyers who are going to be

642
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: very upset with me in the comments section and probably

643
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 1: texting and emailing right now thousand word responses based on

644
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: some dicta of some long forgotten Supreme Court case that

645
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:28,400
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the actual issue. We need

646
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: to make sure we're completely and totally honest with ourselves

647
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: about all events, whether they reflect well or poorly on us.

648
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: I love what this president has done, especially in the

649
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: second term. I thought his first year in office in

650
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five was a resounding success. But some of

651
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: this stuff, boy oh boy, the fact that he latches

652
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: on to things that are just demonstrably untrue. I'm glad

653
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: that he has gotten the false prophets and grifters like

654
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: who is the Kraken Lady? I think I've still got

655
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: her cell phone, for goodness sakes, all of the people

656
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: who were telling him things that were just completely false, folks.

657
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: I do think it needs to be said that there

658
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: are people in the pseudo conservative movement who do sort

659
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: of exist to spread this misinformation, this idea that.

660
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: And what I love.

661
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: It's the same people who get caught up on the

662
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: idea Dan, Dan, We're not a democracy. Stop saying we're

663
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: a democracy. We are a constitutional republic. Are also the

664
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 1: same people that say, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, screw all that.

665
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: Mike Pence could have just undone the results of the

666
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen or excuse me, twenty twenty presidential election. With that,

667
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: let's move on time now for the daily Trump Day.

668
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 3: Gonna so much you may even get tired of winning.

669
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 1: Trump just wing it is a win for the administration.

670
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 4: It's also a big win for the United States.

671
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 3: We have to keep winning.

672
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 1: We have to win more.

673
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: We're gonna win more.

674
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: In spite of that Mike Pence page, the White House's

675
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: January sixth page is actually very very good.

676
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 2: It unveiled it on this the five year anniversary.

677
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 1: The site again wh dot gov slash j six has

678
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: a comprehensive timeline, it's got video clips, it's got testimony,

679
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 1: all serving to disprove pretty much every lie the left

680
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: has been peddling for five straight years.

681
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 3: Now.

682
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: About that day today, President Trump attended the annual House

683
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: Republican Retreat at the Trump Kennedy Center and pushed for

684
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: national voter id He also predicted that if Democrats win

685
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: back the House this year, he will be impeached again,

686
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: because well, of course he will. The President also implored

687
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: Republicans to put back on economic issues, urging them to

688
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 1: tout his massive tax cuts that are going into effect

689
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: now in the One Big, Beautiful Bill, and explain to

690
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: voters how bad Biden and Democrats left the economy.

691
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 3: We inherited high prices, We inherited a mess. We inherited

692
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 3: the greatest inflation in history. And you know what was

693
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 3: knocking it down. The bad economy that we inherited, We

694
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 3: inherited bit. We now have the hottest economy and the

695
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 3: history of our country. We have eighteen trillion dollars being

696
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 3: invested in the United States. You have every one of

697
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 3: you have car plants, AI plans, plants of all different

698
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 3: types because of tariffs. I hope we get the good

699
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 3: ruling from the Supreme Court.

700
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: I only hope we do.

701
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 3: Because it's given us tremendous national security.

702
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court, of course, is debating whether or not

703
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: to allow President Trump's use of an emergency declaration in

704
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: order to circumvent risk on teriffs. The President, in his

705
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: remarks today, also praised the military operation that took Venezuelan

706
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 1: dictator Nicholas Maduro into custody over the weekend.

707
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 3: So the United States proved once again that we have

708
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 3: the most powerful, most lethal, most sophisticated, and most fearsome.

709
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 3: It's a fearsome military on planet Earth. And it's not

710
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 3: even close. And I've been saying it for a long time.

711
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 3: Nobody can take us. Nobody.

712
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 2: We don't want to have it.

713
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 3: We don't have a discussion. But you read all and

714
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,720
Speaker 3: you see everything else. Nobody could have done that. Nobody

715
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,280
Speaker 3: has our weapons. Nobody has the quality of our weapons.

716
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the Department of Health and Human Services has announced

717
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: the end of Biden era rules that all but ensured

718
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: widespread daycare fraud, the likes of which was uncovered in

719
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: Minneapolis over the past month or so. Under Secretaries Jim

720
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: O'Neil and Alex Adams made the announcement earlier today.

721
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 11: Today, we released a proposed rule to appeal those Biden

722
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 11: narrow mandates.

723
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 8: The proposed rule does three important things. First, it ends

724
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 8: the requirement that taxpayer dollars must pay for childcare before

725
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 8: services are provided. States will no longer be forced to

726
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 8: send payments to providers upfront. Second, it ends the mandate

727
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,280
Speaker 8: for enrollment based billing. Payments can once again be based

728
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,479
Speaker 8: on verified attendance, not just enrollment, so that providers can't

729
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 8: bill for children who never show up. In third, it

730
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 8: ends the mandate to prefund guaranteed seats at childcare centers

731
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 8: without competition. This restores parental choice and brings back market

732
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 8: incentives that reward legitimate, high quality providers.

733
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 11: Taken together, these changes ensure that payments reflect real services

734
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 11: and real attendance make it far harder for fraudulent or

735
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 11: non operational centers to game the system.

736
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: Obviously, these are common sense solutions to a major problem,

737
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: and this comes as something like two thousand federal agents

738
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: have flooded into Minneapolis. We'll have much more on that,

739
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 1: plus a second day of desperate flailing from Minnesota's Governor

740
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: Tim Walls trying to explain away why all of this

741
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: fraud happened on his watch. That's coming up later this

742
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: hour here on the Dan O'Donnell show. Right now, though

743
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: President Trump also did call for a national voter ID law.

744
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 3: You want to have voter ID, you want to insist

745
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 3: on it, you want to insist on it. Can you

746
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 3: imagine in California they not only don't have voter ID,

747
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 3: but if an official at the voting booths, which they

748
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 3: don't have by the way, because it's all man if

749
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 3: an official, a voting official even asks somebody for voter ID,

750
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 3: so would like to see your identification? Do you come

751
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 3: from our country?

752
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: They put him in jail for campering with the election.

753
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 3: Okay, we kind of straighten this out before it gets

754
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 3: too crazy.

755
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: Well, suffice it to say it's already gotten pretty crazy.

756
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: What he is talking about is the Safeguard America Voter

757
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: Eligibility Act. It's known as the SAVE Act, and basically

758
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: it would amend a portion of the Voter Registration Act

759
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 1: of nineteen ninety three that would require proof of US

760
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: citizenship in order to register to vote in all federal elections.

761
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: You can use a real ID or something that's real

762
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: ID compliant that explicitly indicates that you're a US citizen.

763
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: Any valid US passport is just find military ID with

764
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 1: any sort of record showing that you were born in

765
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: the United States or are a naturalized citizen, government issued

766
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 1: photo ID showing a birth in the United States birth certificate.

767
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: All of this in conjunction with a photo ID is

768
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: all good. The Save Act did already pass in the

769
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: House in July July of twenty twenty four, but it

770
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: did not advance in the Senate.

771
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 2: This just makes sense.

772
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: Wisconsin is one of thirty six states that require some

773
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: form of ID to vote, but there are fourteen states

774
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: plus the District of Columbia that don't. Do you want

775
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: to take a wild guess in twenty twenty four, which

776
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: candidate every single one? I have seen this graphic floating

777
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: around x for almost a year and a half now

778
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: ever since the twenty twenty four election, and I could

779
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: not believe that it's true.

780
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 3: But it is.

781
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: Every single state, all fourteen of them that do not

782
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: have photo ID went for Kamala Harris, every single one.

783
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: Now there were states that went for Harris that don't

784
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 1: have photo ID or that do have photo ID, but

785
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: every single one that doesn't is a Democrat state.

786
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 2: Why exactly is this controversial?

787
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: There are very few requirements to be allowed to vote

788
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: here in the United States. One, you have to be

789
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: a United States citizen, two, you have to be at

790
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:23,919
Speaker 1: least eighteen years old. Well, a real ID ID proves both.

791
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: Why do people not want any sort of photo identification?

792
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the answer at this point is beyond obvious.

793
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: If you don't want valid photo ID that you do

794
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 1: not have a compelling argument. So you might as well

795
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: just come out and say, yes, we really do want

796
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 1: a whole lot of impersonation fraud. We really do want

797
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: people to not have to show photo ID when they

798
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 1: show up at the ballot box. And by the way,

799
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 1: it has long been my suspicion that a reason that

800
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: we want massive male in voting is a way to

801
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: get around this requirement of photo ID. If I had to,

802
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 1: if you had to guess, if I were to ask you,

803
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: what percentage of American adults currently have a photo ID

804
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: currently have a driver's license, for example, what percentage would

805
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:28,280
Speaker 1: you say? Sixty sixty five somewhere in there. I mean, obviously,

806
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: Democrats are constantly saying it is a massive problem that

807
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: so many people don't have driver's licenses, So many people

808
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: don't have any form of government issued ID, they don't

809
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 1: have any form of photo ID, especially by the way,

810
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,720
Speaker 1: and I have always thought this is the most racist

811
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:50,720
Speaker 1: thing that Democrats just sort of say without really thinking

812
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: about its implications. They say it is too difficult for

813
00:51:53,800 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 1: black people to get driver's licenses. That's not even the

814
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 1: soft bigotry of low expectations, and that's just flat out bigotry.

815
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 1: What do you mean they can't get photo ID? Seriously,

816
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:18,280
Speaker 1: what percentage of people do you think have a driver's license?

817
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: Not a government issued ID card, not a passport, just

818
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: a driver's license, a license to drive. For Americans sixteen

819
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: years and older, it is between eighty and ninety percent

820
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:38,240
Speaker 1: have a driver's license.

821
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 2: Now, not all of them are valid driver's licenses.

822
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: Some have expired, some have been suspended, some have been revoked.

823
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 1: But when you ask Americans do you have a driver's license?

824
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 1: Have you passed a driver's test? Are you licensed to drive?

825
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 1: It is eighty to ninety percent of adults. You tell

826
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: me how it is this great burden to get photo I.

827
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 1: You need photo ID to open up a bank account.

828
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: You need photo ID in order to rent or purchase

829
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: a home. You need photo ID to buy alcohol. You

830
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,800
Speaker 1: need photo ID to rent or purchase a car. You

831
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 1: need photo ID to get on an airplane. You need

832
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 1: photo ID to do pretty much everything in this country

833
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: except vote. And the reason is because you have got

834
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 1: a political party that has made and there doesn't seem

835
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: to be any other logical explanation voter fraud a central

836
00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: part of its electoral strategy. Hey, speaking of fraud, let's

837
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: get out to Minnesota where in battled governor Tampon Tim

838
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: is apparently admitting culpability. So rather shocking NFL news. Before

839
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: we get into the latest on the Minneapolis Somali daycare scandal.

840
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, the longtime coach of the Baltimore Ravens, is

841
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: out fired today after the team lost on a last

842
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: second missed field goal by rookie kicker Tyler Loop in

843
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,960
Speaker 1: Sunday night's game against Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

844
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: The Steelers pull off the upset they win the AFC

845
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: North Division. Harbaugh, who's sixty three years old, is the

846
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:32,320
Speaker 1: twelfth all time winningest coach, not in Baltimore's slash Cleveland

847
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 1: Brown's history, but in NFL history. He's got one hundred

848
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: and ninety three wins. He guided the Ravens to a

849
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl title in twenty twelve. In leading the Ravens

850
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: for eighteen seasons, he was the second longest active tenured

851
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: coach in the league, behind the man he lost to

852
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night, Mike Tomlin, who is in his nineteenth

853
00:54:56,040 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 1: season as head coach of the Steelers. A shocker, true

854
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: shocker in the NFL, and obviously he is going to

855
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 1: be the most sought after head coaching commodity.

856
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 2: Adam Schefter of ESPN who else breaking that story? Also?

857
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: The Green Bay Packers have released third string quarterback Clayton

858
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 1: Tune and they have signed Desmond Ritter, who was with

859
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. He might have caught on somewhere else.

860
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: I remember him as a draft pick with the Atlanta Falcons.

861
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: He's going to be the third stringer and is actually

862
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: likely going to have to back up Jordan Love because

863
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: Malik Willis is expected to miss the Saturday night playoff

864
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: tilt in Chicago against the Bears. Has there been a

865
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 1: ton of complaining that this game is going to be

866
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 1: on Amazon Prime? Have you heard a lot of complaining?

867
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: Producer Eric somebody you have Prime? So you're cool?

868
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 2: Yeah?

869
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

870
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 2: Frankly.

871
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: I order a whole lot of stuff, especially at Christmas time,

872
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: from Amazon, and I think Amazon Prime is the say

873
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime is a modern miracle if they were doing

874
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: like the Eight Wonders of the Modern World. You know,

875
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,880
Speaker 1: there were the Eight Wonders of the ancient world, hanging

876
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 1: Gardens of Babylon, the Colossus of Rhodes. Interestingly enough, the

877
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: oldest of all of the ancient wonders is the only

878
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: one that's still standing today. The Great Pyramid of Giza

879
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: was by far the oldest, and if the only one

880
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: that's still up was at the Temple of zeus H.

881
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 1: Was there a Temple of Artemis, hanging gardens, Colossus of Roads.

882
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: If you did an eight Wonders of the modern world,

883
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: what do you think they would be. I'm gonna go

884
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: with the Internet, artificial intelligence, and Amazon Prime. The fact

885
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: that Amazon can get you practically anything within a day

886
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: or two is just it blows my mind. And I

887
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,399
Speaker 1: think we are only a couple of years removed from

888
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: same day delivery on practically everything from Amazon. But when

889
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:15,760
Speaker 1: you subscribe to Amazon Prime, you also get Prime Video

890
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: and they have their own shows. I think the most

891
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: famous is probably The Lord of the Rings one, although

892
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: that is a woke bust. I couldn't even finish the

893
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: second season, it was so bad. Oh yeah, they made Galadriel.

894
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna out myself here as something of

895
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 1: a Lord of the Rings nerd. They made Galadriel, who

896
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: is like one of the most powerful beings in Middle

897
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: Earth history, who can just sort of like wave her

898
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: hands and make things happen.

899
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 2: She's a magical being.

900
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: Well, in the Lord of the Rings Rings of Power series,

901
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: she's nothing more than a girl boss who kicks more

902
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: butt than the guys. You've seen this trope everywhere. You

903
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: have seen this cliche.

904
00:57:57,760 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 2: Oh yes, it's the girl.

905
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: She's she's five foot three and like one hundred and

906
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 1: twelve pounds and she's throwing around these like seven foot

907
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: tall orcs like it's nothing. It's enough enough of that.

908
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: But a lot of people, I think are going to

909
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: be upset that the game is on Amazon Prime.

910
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 2: Is it also good? I was gonna say, it's on

911
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 2: local TV on the home market. Do we know what channel?

912
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: I Channel four here, although if you have cableist, channel

913
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: two might be six. All right, well, produce producer Eric

914
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: and I are absolutely no help at all. Turn on

915
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: the TV at about seven o'clock on Saturday night and

916
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: just kind of flip the channels until you find the Packers. No,

917
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 1: it was a big thing when the NFL was still

918
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 1: working with Amazon, like, oh, you can't get the game

919
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: in your home market.

920
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 2: But now, of course you.

921
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: Will be able to watch the Packer games, so don't

922
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: worry about that. I was just shocked by that John

923
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: Harbaugh news. That is Eric, do we have confirmation? For

924
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 1: goodness sakes, He goes, we have the radio broadcast on

925
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: ninety five seven.

926
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:08,960
Speaker 2: I'll give you that.

927
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: You are a company man. Yes, keep it in the

928
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 1: iHeart family. Don't even watch TV, just listen to the radio.

929
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: Give us some ratings, all right, Tim Walls today, in

930
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 1: talking with reporters, they were very upset when he stormed

931
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: out of his resignation. Well, it wasn't really a resignation.

932
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: When he held his press conference yesterday in which he

933
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: said he's not going to run for a third term,

934
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: the media in Minneapolis, national and local press were told

935
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: that he was going to take questions.

936
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 2: He did not.

937
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: As a result, he was back out there today to

938
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: take some questions, and he appeared to admit that yes,

939
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: he is the one to blame for the rampant daycare

940
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: and other fraud in Minneapolis in the Somali community.

941
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 5: Is full accountability for everybody. Because I buck stops with me,

942
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 5: I'm accountable for this, and because of that accountability, I'm

943
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,919
Speaker 5: not running for office again, but I have a year

944
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 5: to continue to improve on.

945
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, wait, wait, wait wait wait wait, Hold

946
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: on a sec did he just say what I think

947
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: he said.

948
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:16,479
Speaker 2: Let's start it again.

949
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 5: There's full accountability for everybody because I buck stops with me.

950
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 5: I'm accountable for this, and because of that accountability, I'm

951
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 5: not running for office again, but I have a year

952
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 5: to continue to improve on a record that I think

953
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 5: will stand up against anybody's, a record that has made

954
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 5: Minnesota better, a record that makes people want to come here,

955
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,840
Speaker 5: and a record that has respected not only the dignity

956
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 5: of people, but the idea of rule of law.

957
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: Wait a second, the buck stops with me. We do

958
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 1: have accountability. Because of that accountability, I'm not running again.

959
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 3: This is.

960
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: To use the old Simpson's cliche saying the quiet part

961
01:00:57,240 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 1: out loud. He was forced out of this, lady said.

962
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 1: Because of that accountability, I'm not running for reelection. He said, Look,

963
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 1: it was because of this scandal. I am not able

964
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: to dismiss it. I am not able to downplay it,

965
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: but most importantly, I'm not able to get it out

966
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: of the news cycle. I'm not able to get it

967
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: to a place where it only exists in what I

968
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: lovingly call the talk radio ghetto. I always talk about

969
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: the talk radio ghetto because it's where a whole lot

970
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: of the stories that I break on this show stay.

971
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: Mark Belling, Jay Weber, VICKI. We all run into the

972
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: same problem we always have. The idea is, if there

973
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: is a story that reflects very very poorly on Democrats,

974
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: if there's a story about a Democrat scandal, the idea

975
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: is nobody in the quote unquote mainstream traditional television, newspaper,

976
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: radio media will pick up on it. It will just

977
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: only exist as a talk radio story. It stays in

978
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: the ghetto. It is not allowed to leave the ghetto.

979
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 1: The idea with the Nick Shirley story in which he

980
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: just went to empty daycare centers with By the way,

981
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 1: the real hero of this, the unsung hero of the

982
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 1: Somali fraud story, is this guy David, who clearly has

983
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: been researching and cataloging this stuff for years and years

984
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: and years. He's the older gentleman who's walking around with

985
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: Nick Shirley. Nick Shirley is getting all the credit. I

986
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: guarantee you David did all the legwork on this. He's

987
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 1: a local Minneapolis guy, big conservative, and is very concerned

988
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: about and dedicated his life to rooting out fraud in

989
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: the Somali community. They weren't able to keep this just

990
01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: in the online right, so in the online twitter ghetto,

991
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 1: this permeated so deeply that when I went to go

992
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: coach my high school indoor soccer teams, the boys are

993
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: actually asking me about this. Hey, coach, have you seen

994
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 1: this stuff about the Somali daycare fraud. These are sixteen

995
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: seventeen year old kids. They're not watching Fox News. They're

996
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: certainly not listening to Coach Dan's radio show. They're getting

997
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: this on TikTok, which means it's escaped the online right ghetto.

998
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: It's escaped the talk radio ghetto, and it's actually influencing

999
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 1: people outside of spheres that spheres of influence that the

1000
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: left wing and its media apparatus feel that they can control,

1001
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: feel that they can censor. When that happens, and you

1002
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: see this with any number of wing scandals, it only

1003
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: becomes a big issue of the perfect example. The classic

1004
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: example of this is Joe Biden's sinility. Right up until

1005
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:12,520
Speaker 1: the debate with Donald Trump in June of twenty twenty four,

1006
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: Up until the hour of that debate, the media was

1007
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 1: telling us Joe Biden is as fit as a fiddle.

1008
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 1: He is running circles around everybody else in the administration.

1009
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: It is fake news to suggest remember the deep fake

1010
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: or excuse me, cheap fake videos.

1011
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 2: They said.

1012
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 1: Republicans were doctoring videos.

1013
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 2: They called them cheap fakes.

1014
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,439
Speaker 1: They were selectively editing these videos to make it seem

1015
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: like Joe Biden was wandering off and completely lost. When

1016
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 1: he was wandering off and completely lost. But Democrats were saying, no, no, no.

1017
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: These were selectively edited right up until the moment that

1018
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: they couldn't control the narrative anymore, right up until Joe

1019
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: Biden walked out on that stage and said things like

1020
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: we finally beat Medicare.

1021
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 2: Everybody's looking at that. They're looking around saying what.

1022
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 6: What?

1023
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 2: This guy's completely out of it. He can't run.

1024
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 1: For three glorious weeks, the mainstream media was actually honest

1025
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: with the American people about a Democrat. He dropped out

1026
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: within three weeks. Took him three weeks. He dropped out

1027
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: of the race. He could not handle it, roughly the

1028
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 1: same timeframe as Tim Walls, isn't it now?

1029
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 2: The media wasn't honest.

1030
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: The media was doing its level best to say, well,

1031
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 1: Nick Shirley, he's a paid Republican actor. Well, Nick Shirley,

1032
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: he's a he's a grifter. Nick Shirley, he went to

1033
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: these daycare centers when they were closed for the day

1034
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: at ten am. Okay, But they couldn't control it because

1035
01:05:58,760 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 1: the story got out on social media. And yet again,

1036
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: I think when we talk about seminal moments in American history,

1037
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 1: sure we'll talk about the election of Donald Trump, and

1038
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: we'll talk about January sixth, then George Floyd and all

1039
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 1: of that. I think from this era, one of the

1040
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 1: most seminal moments will prove to be Elon Musk buying

1041
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 1: X and restoring free speech to the Internet. Remember, the

1042
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: Nick Shirley story didn't blow up on Facebook or TikTok

1043
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: or Instagram or Snap or any of them. It blew

1044
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: up on X, where conservatives are actually free to disseminate

1045
01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: stories like that, where just a few short years ago

1046
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:46,919
Speaker 1: they were not remember on Twitter, you would be banned instantly.

1047
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: In the days and weeks before the twenty twenty presidential election,

1048
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: if you shared the absolutely true story from the New

1049
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:58,360
Speaker 1: York Post that Joe and Hunter Biden were running an

1050
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 1: influence peddling scheme out of Ukraine, you'd be banned. Your

1051
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: account would simply be suspended until you agreed to take

1052
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: down the tweet.

1053
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 2: That was censorship in the extreme.

1054
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: If you said things like, hey, uh, I don't think

1055
01:07:17,120 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: masking kids is protecting them from company, you'd be banned.

1056
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 2: You'd be kicked off of social media.

1057
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: We didn't have a free and open exchange of ideas

1058
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: for years. We had something more akin to Maduro like

1059
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:40,000
Speaker 1: control over the flow of information in Venezuela, where we

1060
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: had the people in power deciding what was and was

1061
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 1: not acceptable discourse. My goodness, they banned the sitting president

1062
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: of the United States.

1063
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 2: You remember that.

1064
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: In the days after January sixth, they threw him off

1065
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 1: of social media. I believe his campaign lost access to

1066
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 1: its bank, it lost access to its email server after

1067
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,720
Speaker 1: January sixth. Five years is five years ago. This isn't

1068
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: the eighteen hundreds, This isn't some by gone era a

1069
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: dark chapter in America five years ago. But now you've

1070
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: got Democrats who cannot escape accountability. Heck, I dare say,

1071
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: even on a local level. Even on a local level,

1072
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:41,560
Speaker 1: my reporting on Hannah Dugan just most recently, she was

1073
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 1: out there in body camera video the day after my

1074
01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: report dropped that she was being investigated by the FBI

1075
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 1: for doing exactly what she was just convicted of doing.

1076
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 1: She said, Oh, it's this talk radio guy. He's out

1077
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: there stirring things up, and he's spreading a whole lot

1078
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: of lies. They weren't able to cover that. They weren't

1079
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: able to deny the truth of that report. They weren't

1080
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: able to keep it in the talk radio ghetto. They

1081
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: weren't able to suppress it. Lo and behold, four or

1082
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:12,600
Speaker 1: five days later, the FBI comes and arrests her.

1083
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 2: I've proven right.

1084
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 1: A couple of years earlier, they would have gone to

1085
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: their friends and censors at Facebook and at Twitter and

1086
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 1: at YouTube. They would have pulled everything down. I would

1087
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:26,639
Speaker 1: have been suspended for two weeks.

1088
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:32,160
Speaker 2: They can't do that anymore. That is a big, big

1089
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 2: change heading into the twenty twenty six midterms.

1090
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:37,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan o'donald show, it is

1091
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 1: conservative thought and not just talk.

1092
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:46,679
Speaker 2: Coming up in the five o'clock hour.

1093
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:50,719
Speaker 1: In spite of everything that's gone on with Somali fraud

1094
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 1: and with regime change in Venezuela, this midterm election is

1095
01:09:56,600 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: still going to be decided by pocketbook issues. It is still,

1096
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: as Jimmy Carvill very famously said back in the nineteen nineties,

1097
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 1: all about the economy stupid. Coming up in the five

1098
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:14,920
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, a very very instructive pull from our good

1099
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 1: friends at the Institute for Reforming Government, a great conservative

1100
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 1: organization here in Wisconsin, on just what it is Wisconsin

1101
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 1: wisconsinights think about specific economic issues, affordability, housing prices, all

1102
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: of this sort of stuff. We're actually going to talk

1103
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:38,639
Speaker 1: to the director of IRG, our good friend CJ. Safer,

1104
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:42,360
Speaker 1: coming up at about five twenty, and I really want

1105
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 1: to dive into this because this is going to be

1106
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 1: a pivotal gubernatorial election. This is the first time in

1107
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 1: sixteen years, ladies and gentlemen, that we have a truly

1108
01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: open gubernatorial election, meaning there isn't an incumbent, first time

1109
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: since Scott Walker faced off against Tom the first time. Second,

1110
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 1: of course, being the recall election two years later, we

1111
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:08,960
Speaker 1: are likely to see Tom Tiffany against I don't know

1112
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: man deadbeat Francesca Hong, who knows. But it is going

1113
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:18,879
Speaker 1: to be an election that is waged in the trenches

1114
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 1: of economics. So we are going to take an extended

1115
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:26,680
Speaker 1: look at this and really dive into economics here in Wisconsin,

1116
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 1: affordability and all of those related issues. When I talk

1117
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: about the talk radio ghetto and I talk about stories

1118
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 1: escaping it, I am also talking about issues like what

1119
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:47,440
Speaker 1: we saw with respect to a Hampton Inn in Minneapolis.

1120
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,759
Speaker 2: Have you been following this story it is likely only

1121
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 2: permeating on a conservative X. Basically what happened.

1122
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 1: It was a Hampton Inn by Hilton in Lakeville, Minnesota.

1123
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 1: Staff at this hotel it is independently owned and operated,

1124
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 1: so it's franchised under the Hilton brand, but it's run

1125
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 1: by a company called ever Peak Hospitality, which is like

1126
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 1: a local hotel ownership group. It canceled reservations for ICE

1127
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 1: and Department of Homeland Security agents, and emails that were

1128
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 1: actually shared by the official dhs X account showed the

1129
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 1: hotel informing the bookers that it would not allow ICE

1130
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 1: or immigration agents to stay on the property, citing quote,

1131
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 1: an influx of government reservations tied to DHS. One email

1132
01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:48,639
Speaker 1: said quote, we are not allowing any ICE or immigration

1133
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 1: agents to stay at our property, and reservations were canceled

1134
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: after staff researched the guest's affiliations.

1135
01:12:59,120 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 2: Yikes.

1136
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 1: Now, this is the sort of thing that used to

1137
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:12,800
Speaker 1: just sort of happen conservatives, even government affiliated conservatives. And

1138
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: there's no indication that any of these ICE agents are

1139
01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 1: politically conservative, although given the fact that Democrats have spent

1140
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: the last year calling them Nazis and brown shirts, I'm

1141
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:28,600
Speaker 1: willing to wager that probably influenced their politics. But the

1142
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 1: fact that there was such a massive backlash online that

1143
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: Hilton actually reversed course.

1144
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:41,759
Speaker 2: First of all, the national chain emphasized.

1145
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 1: The hotels independently owned, it's not directly operated by the corporation, said, hey,

1146
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 1: you know standard stuff.

1147
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 2: This does not reflect Hilton values.

1148
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: Well, today, when a conservative by the name of Nick

1149
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:59,560
Speaker 1: Sordhoor posted a video showing a hotel employee still refusing

1150
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 1: to book rooms for ICE guests, even after Hilton initially

1151
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:06,600
Speaker 1: apologized and said, look, we're gonna take care of this.

1152
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna be okay. Hilton said it is now removing

1153
01:14:11,479 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 1: the hotel from its franchise system entirely, and Hilton said

1154
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:22,440
Speaker 1: it is now reinforcing its standards across all franchisee locations

1155
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: to prevent future incidents like this. You know what, Let's

1156
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 1: get right into the unsung hero of the day. Today's

1157
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:43,160
Speaker 1: unsung heroes of the day are the people that dug

1158
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:48,599
Speaker 1: into this story, especially Nick Soretur, because normally the story

1159
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 1: would have ended with Hilton Hotel saying, hey, we apologize,

1160
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 1: this won't happen again. Well, he went back to that

1161
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 1: same hotel and said, well, it's still happening. What are

1162
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:02,839
Speaker 1: you gonna do with Hilton. Hilton, recizing that conservative voices

1163
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: can no longer be silenced or censored online, had no

1164
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: choice but to do the right thing and to crack

1165
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: down entirely on this rogue franchise lest it be tarred

1166
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 1: with the exact same brush that the Captain inn in Lakeville, Minnesota,

1167
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 1: or whatever suburb of Minneapolis. This is this part, by

1168
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:30,559
Speaker 1: the way of the immigration enforcement surge into Minneapolis as

1169
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:34,720
Speaker 1: a result of the escalation in this federal fraud investigation.

1170
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:39,839
Speaker 1: These are the people who ensure that actual change happens,

1171
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:43,679
Speaker 1: there are actual consequences. These are people, in other words,

1172
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:46,680
Speaker 1: just like you. When you think you don't have the

1173
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 1: ability to make a difference, retweet a story like this

1174
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:55,879
Speaker 1: post it, share it with your friends, expand people's knowledge

1175
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:58,920
Speaker 1: of what it is that's going on. So everyone involved

1176
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 1: in getting Hilton Hotel to do the right thing. Your

1177
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 1: unsung heroes of the day. Coming off after the top

1178
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:08,879
Speaker 1: of the hour News, we dive into the economics of Wisconsin,

1179
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 1: how people feel about the economy. An incredible IRG report

1180
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 1: coming up next. You're on the Dan o'donald Show. Okay,

1181
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 1: you all need to stop what you're doing right now

1182
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 1: and go to my social media. I know this sounds

1183
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 1: insanely self serving, and it totally is, but you have

1184
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 1: got to go to Facebook dot com slash Dan o'donald Show.

1185
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 1: You have got to go to my ex at Dan

1186
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 1: o'donald Show, because you will not believe what Democrats in

1187
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 1: the Congress are doing right now, at this exact moment,

1188
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:51,720
Speaker 1: every single one of them. They're holding a freaking candlelight

1189
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:58,720
Speaker 1: vigil for January sixth. I cannot stop laughing. They all

1190
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 1: look so soft, folks. This really is their high holy day.

1191
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 1: They only pretend to celebrate Kwanza. They only pretend to

1192
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 1: care about Labor Day or Earth Day or Arbor Day

1193
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 1: or May Day or any other ridiculous left wing holiday

1194
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:21,719
Speaker 1: that they just sort of make up. They only pretend

1195
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: to celebrate Black History Month or the trans Day of Visibility.

1196
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 1: This is the only holiday that matters. They're doing a

1197
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: candlelight vigil.

1198
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 2: Look it up.

1199
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 1: Schumer's out there in the front. They're all dead, sat

1200
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 1: Schumer and Jeffreys. Let me see who else got a

1201
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,000
Speaker 1: front row? It's not a front row. See who's the

1202
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:50,640
Speaker 1: idiot in the hat? Oh God, is that one of

1203
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 1: the Capitol police officers? Is that Fenonne up? Nancy Pelosi's

1204
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 1: right there in the front?

1205
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 6: It?

1206
01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,679
Speaker 2: Honest to god, it is like, do you remember?

1207
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 1: And we are the world? Only if it was a

1208
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:07,880
Speaker 1: bunch of untalented, ugly people, this would be it. And

1209
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: they're all holding candles. I wish I was making this up.

1210
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: They're holding a candlelight vigil on the fifth anniversary of January.

1211
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 1: Say did any of them do a candlelight vigil? Do

1212
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: you realize we are coming up on the twenty fifth

1213
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 1: anniversary of nine to eleven. Do you think we could

1214
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 1: get every Democrat to do a candlelight vigil on the

1215
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: twenty fifth anniversary of nine to eleven? They sure as

1216
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,719
Speaker 1: hell are doing it on the fifth anniversary of January.

1217
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:41,639
Speaker 1: If you put a gun to your average liberals head,

1218
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:50,599
Speaker 1: first of all, they'd probably scream. Second of all, if

1219
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:54,680
Speaker 1: you ask them which was a darker day for America

1220
01:18:56,160 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 1: nine to eleven or January sixth, what do you think

1221
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:03,679
Speaker 1: they would say? Average limp. I am guessing sixty percent

1222
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 1: of American liberals right now, especially those under the age

1223
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 1: of twenty five, who do not remember nine to eleven,

1224
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 1: who did not experience nine to eleven in a real

1225
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:19,120
Speaker 1: visceral way, they believe that January sixth was the single

1226
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:23,120
Speaker 1: darkest day in American history. Seriously at Dan o'donald show

1227

01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,200

1247
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 1: people actually died in ben Ghazi. Now, I know someone

1248
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:41,120
Speaker 1: actually died on January sixth, but by God, they'll never

1249
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:45,679
Speaker 1: celebrate her, actually mourn the death of Ashley Babbitt, innocent

1250
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 1: woman gunned down. I'm telling you the Michael byrdshooting. That

1251
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: was the officer who shot her. That was a horrible,

1252
01:20:55,600 --> 01:21:00,920
Speaker 1: horrible shoot. In fact, if anyone is being on with themselves,

1253
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 1: that's one that probably should have resulted in criminal charges.

1254
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:09,839
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is it was January sixth. Ashley

1255
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:12,960
Speaker 1: Babbitt was white, Michael Byrd is black. You have a

1256
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 1: racial dynamic there that was never ever, ever going to

1257
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: result in charges after twenty twenty where riots broke out

1258
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:26,759
Speaker 1: because a white police officer did not kill a black

1259
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:29,599
Speaker 1: man but kneeled on his neck and as a result,

1260
01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: the black man had a massive fetanyl induced heart attack.

1261
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 1: You really think that there was ever going to be

1262
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 1: a criminal charge that the narrative that would have gotten

1263
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:43,600
Speaker 1: out there was the one time a police officer was

1264
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: charged with shooting an unarmed person is when it's a

1265
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: black guy shooting an unarmed white woman.

1266
01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:52,080
Speaker 2: Nope, that was never ever, ever going to happen.

1267
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:56,640
Speaker 1: What would be something that would be hilarious if Republicans

1268
01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 1: had a candlelight vigil for I can't even think of

1269
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 1: one one that we just sort of pretend is a big.

1270
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:05,519
Speaker 2: Thing that isn't.

1271
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 1: Candlelight vigil for January sixth.

1272
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,400
Speaker 2: Oh Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.

1273
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:17,640
Speaker 1: President Trump meeting with House Republicans today and celebrating the

1274
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 1: trumponomic victories that he has had over the first year

1275
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:22,559
Speaker 1: of his second tier.

1276
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 3: We have the highest stock market in the history of

1277
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 3: our country by far, every single month. That's another thing

1278
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:28,680
Speaker 3: you should ken.

1279
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 2: You know, they like to demean that they, you know,

1280
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:31,720
Speaker 2: the Democrats.

1281
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,600
Speaker 3: Well, that doesn't mean anything. That's just no. No. That

1282
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 3: means jobs, and it means four oh one case because

1283
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 3: a lot of people have four oh one case.

1284
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 2: I have a four oh one K, you have a

1285
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:43,120
Speaker 2: four oh one K. Yeah, we all have four oh

1286
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 2: one CA's.

1287
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 3: It does.

1288
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:48,799
Speaker 1: Indeed, now the stock market is at all time highs,

1289
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 1: the tech sector is performing incredibly well, and the cost

1290
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 1: of living is going down. Gas prices have hit adjusted

1291
01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 1: for inflation, twenty year lows. We have hit real dollar

1292
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: terms five year lows just today. And with the seizure

1293
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:09,600
Speaker 1: of the Venezuelan oil fields, as liberals have put it,

1294
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 1: we can expect those prices to go down even further.

1295
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: And when gas prices, when the price of moving goods,

1296
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 1: producing goods, and then moving goods from point A to

1297
01:23:19,520 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 1: point B ultimately getting in them in the hands of

1298
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:25,280
Speaker 1: the consumers goes down, the price over all of the

1299
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 1: production of said goods goes down. Producer's price index goes down,

1300
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:32,559
Speaker 1: then the consumer price index goes down.

1301
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 2: But still people here in.

1302
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 1: Wisconsin are very concerned about affordability. The Institute for Reforming Government,

1303
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 1: which is a fantastic Conservative organization has just released a

1304
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:54,760
Speaker 1: new report entitled Wisconsin Speaks Listening, Learning Leading. IRG traveled

1305
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 1: two thousand miles across the state last summer in fall,

1306
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:04,240
Speaker 1: convened fourteen listening sessions, spoke to over one hundred Wisconsinites,

1307
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: and conducted statewide public opinion polling through RMG Research, which

1308
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: is run by Scott Rasmussen. It's important to note Rasmussen

1309
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: no longer runs Rasmussen Reports. That is a guy named

1310
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:22,679
Speaker 1: Mark who still does decent enough polling but is starting

1311
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 1: to get out there a bit on social media. Scott

1312
01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:33,680
Speaker 1: Rasmussen's firm is RMG Research. By far, the most significant

1313
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 1: issue discussed in every single listening session was cost of living,

1314
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:43,839
Speaker 1: rising prices in the basic essentials, as well as costs

1315
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:48,720
Speaker 1: related to housing, healthcare, childcare, inflationary pressures on food and

1316
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:54,320
Speaker 1: living expenses, housing, healthcare, childcare, all of it. Similarly, in

1317
01:24:54,479 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: the IRG poll of statewide voters, thirty nine percent said

1318
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 1: cost of living was the number one issue that would

1319
01:25:03,600 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 1: drive their vote. That includes forty nine percent of independence.

1320
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 1: One of every two voters said lowering food costs in

1321
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:20,919
Speaker 1: particular now when they were asked about the top issues

1322
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:28,759
Speaker 1: facing their family. Twenty percent said affordable housing, fifteen percent

1323
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: said state and local taxes, ten percent said affordable healthcare,

1324
01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:41,799
Speaker 1: and in the statewide poll, over sixty percent of voters

1325
01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 1: indicated that healthcare, taxes, and housing were all important issues

1326
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 1: for their vote.

1327
01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 2: We also have polling on K twelve education, but this

1328
01:25:55,439 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 2: is significant.

1329
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: In every listening session to receive rates in K twelve education,

1330
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 1: an inadequate workforce, apprenticeships and that sort of thing came

1331
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:11,559
Speaker 1: up every single time every listening session that they held,

1332
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: IRG found that we have big issues with K twelve education.

1333
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 1: Guess what, Only five percent of voters said that K

1334
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:25,880
Speaker 1: twelve education was the most important issue in twenty twenty six.

1335
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:28,440
Speaker 2: This is fascinating.

1336
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 1: Arguably the biggest failure that Wisconsin state government has and

1337
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:39,280
Speaker 1: has had in the Tony Evers era. Ironically enough, for

1338
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 1: the self styled education governor, biggest failure has got to

1339
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:51,640
Speaker 1: be education. People don't care about it, I believe, and

1340
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:59,240
Speaker 1: this is just my own personal inkling, This is largely

1341
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,240
Speaker 1: because a lot of the people I think taking part

1342
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 1: in these polls and survey groups do not have kids

1343
01:27:04,920 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 1: in K twelve education. I believe that our voter base

1344
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 1: is getting older, or you have a lot of people

1345
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:16,680
Speaker 1: taking part in these who are very young, who do

1346
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 1: not yet have school age children. That is just my thought,

1347
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:24,840
Speaker 1: But generally speaking, this is in line with how people

1348
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 1: typically vote. I mean, it's one of the oldest cliches

1349
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 1: in the entire world that you vote with your pocketbook,

1350
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:39,920
Speaker 1: but it's absolutely true you do. In the same poll,

1351
01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:43,439
Speaker 1: while voters had plenty of ideas to improve their schools,

1352
01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: the respondents that had school age children living at home

1353
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 1: with them twenty percent of total respondents forty five percent

1354
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:53,919
Speaker 1: said they were very satisfied with their children's schools.

1355
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 2: So I would fall into that category. My kids do

1356
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 2: go to public school.

1357
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 1: They go to what is widely regarded as one of

1358
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 1: the top two or three school districts in the entire state.

1359
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,840
Speaker 1: In fact, because of that, my wife and I don't

1360
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 1: we didn't believe that when the kids were young we

1361
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:16,439
Speaker 1: needed to go to private school because people move into

1362
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:21,160
Speaker 1: our community specifically for the schools we've been very very happy. Also,

1363
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 1: the people who take part in an Institute for Reforming

1364
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 1: Government focus group are more likely to be in the

1365
01:28:26,880 --> 01:28:29,360
Speaker 1: same position. They're either sending their kids to private school

1366
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:35,680
Speaker 1: or they're very happy with their public schools. What this

1367
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:39,839
Speaker 1: says to me is that if you are Tom Tiffany,

1368
01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:44,720
Speaker 1: if you are Josh Showman, if you want to be

1369
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 1: governor or Lieutenant governor, Will Martin, David Varnham, whoever else

1370
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:50,599
Speaker 1: is running for LG, I apologize if I forgot somebody.

1371
01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:53,760
Speaker 1: If you are not talking about affordability, if you are

1372
01:28:53,880 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 1: not talking about economic issues, you are losing the battle.

1373
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:01,240
Speaker 1: If you're talking about education, and if you're talking about abortion,

1374
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: if you're talking about rape kits or whatever the hell

1375
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:09,880
Speaker 1: else is out there, you are losing. When we come back,

1376
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 1: we are going to talk with the head of the

1377
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 1: Institute for Reforming Government about this pool's findings and its implication. CJ.

1378
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:20,479
Speaker 2: Safer coming up next, Welcome back.

1379
01:29:20,560 --> 01:29:27,400
Speaker 1: It is the Dan O'Donnell Show, Classical Conservatism and Contemporary Style.

1380
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:30,360
Speaker 1: Joining us now live on the phony is the president

1381
01:29:30,479 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 1: of the Institute for Reforming Government, which just put out

1382
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:36,040
Speaker 1: a fantastic in depth study.

1383
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 2: This is what IRG does. I am a big, big

1384
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 2: fan of their work.

1385
01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:44,879
Speaker 1: It's called Wisconsin Speaks Listening, Learning, Leading, and it's fourteen

1386
01:29:44,960 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 1: listening sessions in addition to a poll by Scott Rasmussen's

1387
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:52,960
Speaker 1: RMG Research Group to find out what it is that

1388
01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 1: Wisconsinites really care about as we kick off this all

1389
01:29:56,520 --> 01:30:00,040
Speaker 1: important gubernatorial and state Supreme Court election. Here see you

1390
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:03,280
Speaker 1: say for my guest on the Dan O'Donnell Show, good evening, sir,

1391
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:03,880
Speaker 1: how you doing?

1392
01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm doing great. How are you well?

1393
01:30:07,040 --> 01:30:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm pumped up for this election year, and I am

1394
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:14,160
Speaker 1: so glad that I have some data to back up

1395
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:17,840
Speaker 1: when I say, do not focus on anything. If you

1396
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 1: are running for statewide office right now, do not focus

1397
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:25,759
Speaker 1: on anything but economic issues. Do not focus on anything

1398
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 1: other than affordability, on acknowledging that prices are way too high,

1399
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:34,840
Speaker 1: and that telling people, hey, we live in a tax

1400
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:38,880
Speaker 1: hell state thanks to Democrats, and we need to do

1401
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:43,439
Speaker 1: something about it. This study, I think is exactly the

1402
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 1: kick in the pants that are statewide candidates and local candidates.

1403
01:30:48,080 --> 01:30:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean, let's not forget there is a big battle

1404
01:30:51,040 --> 01:30:54,120
Speaker 1: for control of the state legislature. To every single one

1405
01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:57,920
Speaker 1: of them, I think needs to read this study, digest it,

1406
01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 1: and come out saying affordability, affordability.

1407
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,000
Speaker 6: And we didn't know that going in like our goal

1408
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:09,120
Speaker 6: is to understand the concerns of Wisconsin voters and see

1409
01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 6: if there's common areas of agreement. So we did two things. First,

1410
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:16,360
Speaker 6: we did a listening tour, which which you mentioned, but

1411
01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 6: our north star for this was actually, believe it or not,

1412
01:31:19,320 --> 01:31:22,639
Speaker 6: Marco Rubio these in two thousand and six when Rubio

1413
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 6: was the speaker of the Florida Assembly, he thought they

1414
01:31:25,840 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 6: were so out of touch. He traveled all over the

1415
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:31,679
Speaker 6: state and he just listened to voters and community leaders.

1416
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:36,920
Speaker 6: So my colleague at IRG, the outstanding Courtney Gustavson, she

1417
01:31:37,200 --> 01:31:41,080
Speaker 6: organized this huge listening tour last year, traveling over two

1418
01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:44,600
Speaker 6: thousand miles, talking with over one hundred voters, and we

1419
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:47,799
Speaker 6: just listened. We didn't use talking points, we didn't use speeches,

1420
01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 6: we didn't bring white papers. And the second is we

1421
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:54,880
Speaker 6: conducted a statewide survey of eight hundred voters, which you mentioned,

1422
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:58,479
Speaker 6: and the conclusion was, by far, the number one issue

1423
01:31:58,520 --> 01:32:00,840
Speaker 6: that most people talked about you were on the north

1424
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:03,519
Speaker 6: side of Milwaukee, which is where we went for the

1425
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:09,040
Speaker 6: north Woods, was cost of living and affordability. And right now,

1426
01:32:09,439 --> 01:32:12,200
Speaker 6: a vast majority of Wisconsinites this is going to be

1427
01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:14,400
Speaker 6: the number one issue that they're going to be voting

1428
01:32:14,479 --> 01:32:15,720
Speaker 6: on this upcoming year.

1429
01:32:16,439 --> 01:32:21,320
Speaker 1: So if you're a gubernatorial candidate or if your say Marializar,

1430
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 1: although that's kind of a special election because you know,

1431
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:27,120
Speaker 1: obviously it's a judicial election. But if you're running state wider,

1432
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 1: if you're running as a state rep. How are you

1433
01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:30,719
Speaker 1: using this information?

1434
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:36,679
Speaker 6: Well, look, most people are thinking, like, okay, inflation, cost

1435
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 6: of living? What does that mean as far as a

1436
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:43,680
Speaker 6: state policy standpoint. So the first off is what we

1437
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:46,759
Speaker 6: found in the poll was that forty percent of voters

1438
01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:49,880
Speaker 6: the number one issue is going to be cost of living,

1439
01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 6: and that includes one of every two independents. They're clearly

1440
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:56,640
Speaker 6: voting on cost of living. So we kind of like

1441
01:32:56,720 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 6: dug deep, like all right, like great tell us. More So,

1442
01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:05,000
Speaker 6: three of every four Wisconsin voters right now are saying

1443
01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:09,760
Speaker 6: that their incomes fell behind inflation in twenty twenty five.

1444
01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:12,320
Speaker 6: So three of four voters are saying that they are

1445
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:17,880
Speaker 6: worse off and they are falling behind. We push the more, well,

1446
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:21,000
Speaker 6: what does that mean and how are you falling behind

1447
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 6: in inflation? We asked them a number of ways. Ninety

1448
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 6: two percent of voters say that they've seen an increase

1449
01:33:29,400 --> 01:33:32,559
Speaker 6: in food prices over the past year and in fact,

1450
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:38,960
Speaker 6: when we push them to say, well, which with housing,

1451
01:33:39,080 --> 01:33:44,040
Speaker 6: with energy, with taxes, with interest rates, with food, one

1452
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:47,479
Speaker 6: of every two voters say that lowering the cost of

1453
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:52,480
Speaker 6: food and groceries would help the most with their personal finances.

1454
01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:57,599
Speaker 6: One of every two voters the number one cost driver

1455
01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:02,639
Speaker 6: for them is food. Is the increase of food and groceries. Really,

1456
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:06,120
Speaker 6: but I think there's there's something there that I think

1457
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 6: can be taken advantage of. If you think about all

1458
01:34:09,200 --> 01:34:11,840
Speaker 6: the things that go to the high the high cost

1459
01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:14,400
Speaker 6: of living and the high high cost of food. You know,

1460
01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:16,519
Speaker 6: one thing I think both you and I have talked

1461
01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:18,920
Speaker 6: about for the last like you know, it seems like forever,

1462
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:21,400
Speaker 6: but we do have something on the books called the

1463
01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:23,639
Speaker 6: minimum markup law, which is a hidden tax.

1464
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:27,640
Speaker 1: We do explain, explain that for people, Explain that for

1465
01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 1: people who don't understand it, CJ.

1466
01:34:29,640 --> 01:34:33,160
Speaker 2: Because this this is a biggie well.

1467
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:35,719
Speaker 6: I mean, we've been talking about this for a long time,

1468
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:38,760
Speaker 6: both at I ERG and my previous employer at ed Will.

1469
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:44,519
Speaker 6: But Wisconsin has a great Depression era law that essentially

1470
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:49,760
Speaker 6: a lot of forces. The cost of living force is

1471
01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:54,040
Speaker 6: the cost of certain goods, groceries, gasoline.

1472
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:54,240
Speaker 2: That's the big.

1473
01:34:54,360 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 6: Artificially high and prevents the businesses from from selling them

1474
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:04,000
Speaker 6: lower than costs. It's way antiquated, and you know, both

1475
01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 6: blue and red states don't have it, and Wisconsin isn't

1476
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:10,599
Speaker 6: a minority that still has this law that keeps things

1477
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:12,160
Speaker 6: more expensive than what they should be.

1478
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:14,000
Speaker 2: It almost seems like.

1479
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:19,320
Speaker 1: You can't believe when you tell people that, Okay, well,

1480
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:23,080
Speaker 1: if you want, say, I'm just using an example. Let's

1481
01:35:23,080 --> 01:35:25,599
Speaker 1: say you're a Quick Trip and you're running a promotion

1482
01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:30,320
Speaker 1: and you say, okay, we're going to have ten cent gasoline, right,

1483
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:33,280
Speaker 1: you can have two gallons for ten cents or something

1484
01:35:33,439 --> 01:35:36,320
Speaker 1: like that. And you say, no, no, no, you can't

1485
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:40,240
Speaker 1: do that. State law prohibits it. He said, well, wait,

1486
01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 1: what are you talking about. Walmart does these sorts of

1487
01:35:43,200 --> 01:35:45,320
Speaker 1: things all the time. They're called loss leaders. They get

1488
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:47,639
Speaker 1: people in the door and you go to a quick Trip,

1489
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:50,840
Speaker 1: you buy coffee, you know, you buy some of their

1490
01:35:50,920 --> 01:35:53,439
Speaker 1: donuts and cookies, they say see you next time, and

1491
01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:57,559
Speaker 1: you go about your day. It's almost like people don't

1492
01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:00,880
Speaker 1: believe that this is really a law that's on the books,

1493
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:06,040
Speaker 1: and there is in today's day and age, no real justification.

1494
01:36:05,680 --> 01:36:06,679
Speaker 2: For it is there.

1495
01:36:08,479 --> 01:36:08,519
Speaker 3: No.

1496
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:13,200
Speaker 6: In fact, when Meyer came to Wisconsin from Michigan, yeah

1497
01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:16,200
Speaker 6: was like six seven, eight years ago, they were stunned.

1498
01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:20,320
Speaker 1: Wait I remember that. I you know, I remember talking

1499
01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:23,759
Speaker 1: behind the scenes to one of Meyer's PR people because

1500
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:27,160
Speaker 1: it was there was like a push to repeal minimum

1501
01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 1: markup and they were obviously very opposed to it. And

1502
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:33,920
Speaker 1: this person was like, I've never heard of anything like this.

1503
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:36,519
Speaker 1: What do you mean you can't sell things for what

1504
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:38,479
Speaker 1: you want to sell them for. I'm like, I don't know,

1505
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:39,559
Speaker 1: talk to the government.

1506
01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:45,280
Speaker 6: But the Big Three though, a right, So moving beyond that, yeah, yeah,

1507
01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:48,559
Speaker 6: you asked like, what else? So the big three state

1508
01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:52,200
Speaker 6: policy that we found both in the poll and the

1509
01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:58,040
Speaker 6: and the listening tour, housing, healthcare, and taxes. People are

1510
01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:01,400
Speaker 6: saying that these are important issues to their vote as

1511
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:03,360
Speaker 6: it relates to cost of living. So they're going to

1512
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 6: be looking for solutions for bringing down the cost of housing.

1513
01:37:10,680 --> 01:37:13,880
Speaker 6: Two of every three voters say that now is a

1514
01:37:14,080 --> 01:37:17,200
Speaker 6: bad time to buy a house. Really, what I think

1515
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:20,280
Speaker 6: is incredibly said, especially if you think about the attainability

1516
01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 6: of the American dream. Forty four percent of people who

1517
01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:27,880
Speaker 6: don't own a home now say that they will never

1518
01:37:28,040 --> 01:37:31,599
Speaker 6: own a home. Yeah, it's almost one of every two

1519
01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:33,720
Speaker 6: people who don't own a home just don't think that

1520
01:37:34,280 --> 01:37:36,600
Speaker 6: it's it's going to be in their life plan. And

1521
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:40,120
Speaker 6: that's yeah, that's that's heartbreaking. And I think it's going

1522
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:46,120
Speaker 6: to be incumbent on you know, policymakers candidates to come

1523
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:50,639
Speaker 6: up with free market solutions to really help bring down

1524
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 6: the cost of housing. Healthcare, healthcare. Just just today, in fact,

1525
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:02,639
Speaker 6: just a couple hours ago, I think President President Trump

1526
01:38:02,880 --> 01:38:07,680
Speaker 6: was really pushing Republicans to talk more about healthcare. It's

1527
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:12,880
Speaker 6: something that you know, in Wisconsin, you know, you have

1528
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:17,639
Speaker 6: access to healthcare, but in the last few years, voters

1529
01:38:17,680 --> 01:38:20,680
Speaker 6: are starting to get really frustrated by the increase of

1530
01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:24,000
Speaker 6: costs of health care. And I think it's one thing

1531
01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:28,080
Speaker 6: that I think free market solutions continue to be overwhelmingly

1532
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:32,960
Speaker 6: popular and something that we found with you know, if

1533
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:36,760
Speaker 6: you do healthcare price transparency, people want to know how

1534
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:40,320
Speaker 6: much it's going to cost. Eighty three percent of voters

1535
01:38:40,400 --> 01:38:45,120
Speaker 6: think that knowing more about how much a procedure costs

1536
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:48,599
Speaker 6: before they go up go about actually doing it, thinks

1537
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:52,439
Speaker 6: that could bring the cost of healthcare down. They want

1538
01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:55,720
Speaker 6: more personal control. These are all things that I think

1539
01:38:55,800 --> 01:39:00,599
Speaker 6: conservatives can really rally be behind, because healthcare was actually

1540
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:04,479
Speaker 6: the number two issue behind the overall cost of living.

1541
01:39:04,479 --> 01:39:06,800
Speaker 2: And then number for you with taxes, correct.

1542
01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:10,880
Speaker 6: Taxes, and I think taxes obviously pulls a little better

1543
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:16,599
Speaker 6: with Republicans. But I think you mentioned the judicial races,

1544
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:20,519
Speaker 6: you know, the repeal of Act tax I was just

1545
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:24,639
Speaker 6: going to say, yep, it's looming, it's it's it's out there.

1546
01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:28,120
Speaker 6: It's going to be a thing. How judicial candidates address

1547
01:39:28,200 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 6: it is you know, well out outside of my area

1548
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:36,759
Speaker 6: of expertise. But the reality is if Act ten gets repealed,

1549
01:39:37,360 --> 01:39:41,320
Speaker 6: you know you have to do something. Government, local and

1550
01:39:41,400 --> 01:39:43,479
Speaker 6: state is going to have to do something to make

1551
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:45,640
Speaker 6: up for all the cost savings. It's going to be

1552
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:49,320
Speaker 6: increased spending. It's going to be increased property taxes. There's

1553
01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:53,960
Speaker 6: no other way. And increased property taxes goes right to

1554
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 6: the heart of cost of living.

1555
01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:56,639
Speaker 2: Yes it does.

1556
01:39:57,000 --> 01:40:00,160
Speaker 1: And you know this is on top of people I

1557
01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:03,719
Speaker 1: think opening up their property tax bills for twenty twenty

1558
01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 1: five and realizing that hey, Governor ever is issuing that

1559
01:40:09,120 --> 01:40:12,679
Speaker 1: insane four hundred year veto in the Liberal Supreme Court

1560
01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:17,759
Speaker 1: upholding it does have real world impacts on your bottom line.

1561
01:40:17,880 --> 01:40:22,679
Speaker 1: When when you allow government to increase the tax level

1562
01:40:22,760 --> 01:40:27,240
Speaker 1: and increase the per student spending limit every single year

1563
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:30,360
Speaker 1: for the next four centuries, that is something that you

1564
01:40:30,520 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 1: are going to have to pay.

1565
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:35,760
Speaker 2: So it seems like with people, I think, with this.

1566
01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:38,040
Speaker 1: Fresh in their heads saying, oh my gosh, I just

1567
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:41,479
Speaker 1: had one thousand dollars increase in my property tax bill

1568
01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:46,040
Speaker 1: and nothing fundamentally changed. I didn't put on a third

1569
01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:49,680
Speaker 1: story on my house. I think this opens up the

1570
01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:54,280
Speaker 1: possibility of people hearing, hey, look, when you have tax

1571
01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:58,280
Speaker 1: and spend liberalism in charge of this state, you are

1572
01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:01,639
Speaker 1: the one who is paying for their spending binges.

1573
01:41:04,320 --> 01:41:08,519
Speaker 6: Yeah, and fortunately divided government has prevented a lot of

1574
01:41:08,640 --> 01:41:13,160
Speaker 6: the Governor evers tax increases. He did get the four

1575
01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:19,479
Speaker 6: hundred two year property tax increase through. But I do

1576
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:23,640
Speaker 6: think that I think the winning candidates or whatever you

1577
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:25,280
Speaker 6: want to call it, are going to be those that

1578
01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:30,479
Speaker 6: cast of vision that's connected to to cost of living.

1579
01:41:30,560 --> 01:41:32,800
Speaker 6: Is it's not enough just to say that the other

1580
01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:34,920
Speaker 6: side's worse, that the other side is going to increase

1581
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:38,120
Speaker 6: cost of living. I do think the people that are

1582
01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:40,559
Speaker 6: going to be successful, and this is what we heard

1583
01:41:40,560 --> 01:41:43,800
Speaker 6: from time and time again people want to vote for

1584
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:48,280
Speaker 6: a winning vision that they think that their family is

1585
01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:52,600
Speaker 6: going to be better off if candidate A wins in

1586
01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:53,719
Speaker 6: twenty twenty seven.

1587
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:57,200
Speaker 1: And I think this is what the Republican Party is

1588
01:41:57,479 --> 01:42:01,640
Speaker 1: able to provide and needs to if it wants to

1589
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:05,519
Speaker 1: keep its majorities in the Senate and the Assembly, and

1590
01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:08,560
Speaker 1: wants to retake the governor's mansion. CJ. Safery is the

1591
01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:12,520
Speaker 1: president of IRG, the Institute for Reforming Government.

1592
01:42:13,479 --> 01:42:14,759
Speaker 2: Check out this study.

1593
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:18,400
Speaker 1: It is very informative and I think should be required

1594
01:42:18,479 --> 01:42:22,920
Speaker 1: reading for everybody and anybody running for election for any office.

1595
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:26,280
Speaker 1: If you're running for school board this spring, you need

1596
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:29,880
Speaker 1: to be reading this on what voters actually care about.

1597
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:32,320
Speaker 2: CJ. It is always a pleasure having you on the show.

1598
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:34,040
Speaker 6: Thank you so much.

1599
01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:36,360
Speaker 2: Have a great night you too, my friend. When we

1600
01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:38,960
Speaker 2: come back. Vice President jd.

1601
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:45,519
Speaker 1: Vance has some incredible insight into what ultimately caused those

1602
01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:48,080
Speaker 1: price increases. We'll get to that when the Dan O'Donnell

1603
01:42:48,160 --> 01:42:58,120
Speaker 1: show returns. So what ultimately caused the wage slow down

1604
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:02,960
Speaker 1: and rapid inflation, Well, it was very clearly in a

1605
01:43:03,080 --> 01:43:07,720
Speaker 1: macro sense, the massive influx of government spending in the

1606
01:43:08,160 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 1: trillion dollar, two trillion dollars stimulus passed by President Biden

1607
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:15,960
Speaker 1: and the Democratic Congress in the earliest days of his

1608
01:43:16,160 --> 01:43:20,200
Speaker 1: administration in twenty twenty one. We are going on five

1609
01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:24,000
Speaker 1: years now of one of the single worst decisions in

1610
01:43:24,080 --> 01:43:25,840
Speaker 1: American history was passing that.

1611
01:43:26,040 --> 01:43:28,519
Speaker 2: Not a single Republican voted for that bill.

1612
01:43:29,240 --> 01:43:32,479
Speaker 1: I might add, just like not a single Republican voted

1613
01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:37,519
Speaker 1: for Obamacare, which is also pricing Americans right out of

1614
01:43:37,760 --> 01:43:43,160
Speaker 1: being able to afford their healthcare coverage somehow, though Republicans

1615
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:48,920
Speaker 1: are being blamed for this. On Scott Jennings's syndicated radio

1616
01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:54,599
Speaker 1: show Today, Vice President JD Vance, in a ninety second

1617
01:43:54,760 --> 01:44:01,880
Speaker 1: response to why wages slowed down, why jobs were disappearing

1618
01:44:02,400 --> 01:44:08,200
Speaker 1: in America under a Biden, and why prices were going

1619
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:14,400
Speaker 1: up so far so fast, he succinctly explained how importing

1620
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:19,599
Speaker 1: tens of millions of people from the Third World has

1621
01:44:19,840 --> 01:44:21,960
Speaker 1: kind of negative economic impact.

1622
01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:24,519
Speaker 4: So I think about it just in two big economic sectors,

1623
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:27,479
Speaker 4: housing and jobs. If you have illegal immigrants on the

1624
01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:31,200
Speaker 4: job side coming in and competing against Americans for good jobs,

1625
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:34,160
Speaker 4: that's going to depress the wages of the American worker.

1626
01:44:34,280 --> 01:44:37,240
Speaker 4: You saw during the Biden administration, all of the net

1627
01:44:37,360 --> 01:44:40,040
Speaker 4: job growth went to people who were foreign born. Those

1628
01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:43,120
Speaker 4: were primarily illegal aliens. If you look at the Trump economy,

1629
01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:46,120
Speaker 4: that's completely different. The net job growth has gone to

1630
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:49,280
Speaker 4: native born American workers. So it's really a question of

1631
01:44:49,560 --> 01:44:51,880
Speaker 4: who does the economy exist for. Who are we trying

1632
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:55,040
Speaker 4: to create prosperity for? For illegal aliens who are coming

1633
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:59,040
Speaker 4: into our country or for the American citizens whose parents

1634
01:44:59,080 --> 01:45:02,080
Speaker 4: and grandparents actually built this country with their bare hands.

1635
01:45:02,400 --> 01:45:04,400
Speaker 4: The President and I know our answer to that question.

1636
01:45:04,520 --> 01:45:06,880
Speaker 4: And it's weird to me that Scott to the Democrats

1637
01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:11,240
Speaker 4: are so focused on illegal immigrants that they ignore how

1638
01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 4: bad the Biden economy was for native born workers. So

1639
01:45:15,240 --> 01:45:17,360
Speaker 4: that's the job Speece. Let me talk about housing. Scott

1640
01:45:17,400 --> 01:45:19,280
Speaker 4: can think about it. If you let in twenty twenty

1641
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:23,360
Speaker 4: five thirty million illegal aliens, you have to put them somewhere.

1642
01:45:23,439 --> 01:45:26,280
Speaker 4: They have to live somewhere, and that drives the increase

1643
01:45:26,360 --> 01:45:29,160
Speaker 4: in demand for housing, which means rents go up for

1644
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:31,880
Speaker 4: American workers, which means the cost of housing goes up

1645
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:35,160
Speaker 4: for American workers. It is not a coincidence that during

1646
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:38,120
Speaker 4: the worst open border we've ever had under Joe Biden,

1647
01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:41,599
Speaker 4: the cost of an American home doubled in four years.

1648
01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:45,000
Speaker 4: That is crazy runaway inflation, even worse than the rest

1649
01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:47,679
Speaker 4: of the Biden inflation. Now that we're getting those illegal

1650
01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:50,400
Speaker 4: immigrants out, you see, rents have come down for four

1651
01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:52,200
Speaker 4: straight months under the Trump economy.

1652
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 2: All right, So.

1653
01:45:55,600 --> 01:46:00,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is why, No matter how impressed, if Marco

1654
01:46:00,720 --> 01:46:04,640
Speaker 1: Rubio is and now he's at it, about a fourteenth

1655
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:07,160
Speaker 1: job within the Trump administration. He's going to handle the

1656
01:46:07,280 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 1: transition of power in Venezuela. He's the National Security Advisor.

1657
01:46:12,000 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 1: He's also the Secretary of State. He was running USAID

1658
01:46:15,479 --> 01:46:19,880
Speaker 1: until that was shut down. I believe he is also

1659
01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:23,000
Speaker 1: President Trump's personal chow fur. He's got about five other

1660
01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:27,639
Speaker 1: jobs in there. You could hear in ninety seconds why

1661
01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:30,800
Speaker 1: JD is probably our guy in twenty twenty eight?

1662
01:46:31,439 --> 01:46:31,719
Speaker 3: Wow?

1663
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:38,160
Speaker 1: Wow? Is he an effective communicator of very painful but

1664
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:41,920
Speaker 1: very obvious truths. Think about a job, and think about

1665
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:44,880
Speaker 1: an apartment, or think about a home a house as

1666
01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:48,160
Speaker 1: a resource, there is always going to be competition for

1667
01:46:48,280 --> 01:46:48,919
Speaker 1: a resource.

1668
01:46:49,960 --> 01:46:53,160
Speaker 2: There is a finite number of resources. There is a

1669
01:46:53,400 --> 01:46:55,000
Speaker 2: finite number of jobs.

1670
01:46:55,080 --> 01:46:58,160
Speaker 1: Yes, theoretically, new companies can be formed there will be

1671
01:46:58,320 --> 01:47:01,439
Speaker 1: new jobs created. There are every month, but at one

1672
01:47:01,640 --> 01:47:05,759
Speaker 1: given moment in time in America, there is a finite

1673
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:10,480
Speaker 1: number of available jobs. At one given moment in America,

1674
01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:13,599
Speaker 1: the moment that you are looking for housing, you need

1675
01:47:13,640 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 1: an apartment, you need a house, you need somewhere to live.

1676
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:19,640
Speaker 1: At that moment, there is a finite number. There is

1677
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 1: a set number of available places for you to live.

1678
01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:30,720
Speaker 1: Prices are set based on supply and demand economics. If

1679
01:47:30,880 --> 01:47:36,719
Speaker 1: demand outpaces supply, prices go up. If supply outpaces demand,

1680
01:47:37,200 --> 01:47:40,920
Speaker 1: prices go down. When you have price shocks, there is

1681
01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:44,479
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, a sudden increase in supply or

1682
01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:46,120
Speaker 1: a sudden increase in demand.

1683
01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:48,840
Speaker 2: Well, what happens when you.

1684
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:55,160
Speaker 1: Import four or five million new people, all demanding the

1685
01:47:55,360 --> 01:48:01,639
Speaker 1: same two resources, jobs and housing. There isn't a sudden

1686
01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:06,439
Speaker 1: commensurate increase in the available supply of either jobs or housing.

1687
01:48:07,800 --> 01:48:13,360
Speaker 1: So there's competition for those resources when the illegal immigrant

1688
01:48:13,479 --> 01:48:19,080
Speaker 1: population is perfectly willing to accept far lower wages for

1689
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:23,719
Speaker 1: the same job that an American citizen had been doing before.

1690
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:25,800
Speaker 2: And please don't.

1691
01:48:25,640 --> 01:48:28,720
Speaker 1: Repeat this myth that there are certain jobs that Americans

1692
01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 1: simply won't do. Americans did those jobs for hundreds of

1693
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:36,400
Speaker 1: years before we had a sudden influx of people from

1694
01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:39,840
Speaker 1: the Third World to take those jobs from the lower

1695
01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:49,640
Speaker 1: socioeconomic classes of American citizens. There's competition. When there is

1696
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:56,320
Speaker 1: competition for jobs, wages go down because the worker is

1697
01:48:56,640 --> 01:49:00,560
Speaker 1: offering his services in competition with another. Word, so you

1698
01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:04,880
Speaker 1: can either offer better work, a better quality product, or

1699
01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:08,960
Speaker 1: you can offer a lower rate for that same or

1700
01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:13,880
Speaker 1: comparable service. What do you think employers are going for

1701
01:49:14,760 --> 01:49:19,080
Speaker 1: at a time when resources are increasingly scant and thus

1702
01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:23,920
Speaker 1: they are forced to pay more for their own competition

1703
01:49:24,479 --> 01:49:27,559
Speaker 1: with other companies and the government for those resources. Now,

1704
01:49:27,680 --> 01:49:31,479
Speaker 1: on housing, it has been long established than when you

1705
01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:37,479
Speaker 1: import immigrants into a particular area, rents will go up.

1706
01:49:37,680 --> 01:49:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean, this is basic supply and demand economics. There

1707
01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:47,080
Speaker 1: wasn't a massive increase in housing starts during the Biden administration.

1708
01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:51,599
Speaker 1: Quite the contrary, because of COVID nineteen. The real estate

1709
01:49:51,800 --> 01:49:56,679
Speaker 1: market just sort of slowed to a crawl. There weren't

1710
01:49:56,760 --> 01:49:59,960
Speaker 1: new houses for the millions of people that the buyer

1711
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:05,479
Speaker 1: administration was pumping into this country. If you really want

1712
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:11,920
Speaker 1: to understand affordability, you need to understand the disastrous impact

1713
01:50:12,439 --> 01:50:18,560
Speaker 1: of both illegal and yes, legal immigration going to astronomical

1714
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:20,600
Speaker 1: levels during the Biden administration.

1715
01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:22,599
Speaker 2: We'll be right back here on the Dan O'Donnell Show,

1716
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:24,759
Speaker 2: all right, folks.

1717
01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:28,160
Speaker 1: I hope today I sounded a lot better than yesterday

1718
01:50:28,200 --> 01:50:29,639
Speaker 1: when I was getting over a cold.

1719
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:32,280
Speaker 2: I really feel a lot better.

1720
01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:37,160
Speaker 1: The one thing I can't do, however, is laugh, because

1721
01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:39,639
Speaker 1: that has the tendency to set off a coughing fit,

1722
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:45,439
Speaker 1: which is why am I made a programming decision. I

1723
01:50:45,520 --> 01:50:49,599
Speaker 1: am not playing video of Democrats at their January sixth

1724
01:50:49,760 --> 01:50:51,120
Speaker 1: candlelight vigil.

1725
01:50:51,160 --> 01:50:52,919
Speaker 2: Singing God Bless America.

1726
01:50:53,640 --> 01:50:56,200
Speaker 1: I honestly don't even want to talk about it right

1727
01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:58,800
Speaker 1: now because I am going to start hacking up a lung.

1728
01:50:59,400 --> 01:51:02,960
Speaker 1: It is so so beyond hysterical. These people are so

1729
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:08,040
Speaker 1: beyond parody. The Babylon Bee doesn't have a prayer competing

1730
01:51:08,120 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 1: with them. This is up there with when they were

1731
01:51:11,439 --> 01:51:15,919
Speaker 1: all dressed in African garb and kneeling at the Capitol

1732
01:51:16,120 --> 01:51:21,120
Speaker 1: in solidarity with George Floyd back in twenty twenty. You

1733
01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:23,920
Speaker 1: can actually see the microphones are right in front of

1734
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:27,000
Speaker 1: old Chuck Schumer's face, and you can hear his voice

1735
01:51:27,560 --> 01:51:31,759
Speaker 1: above all others. No, the man can't carry a tune,

1736
01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:36,880
Speaker 1: just like he can't carry an honest representation of what

1737
01:51:37,160 --> 01:51:41,559
Speaker 1: happened in the Capitol on January sixth. I swear if

1738
01:51:41,600 --> 01:51:44,800
Speaker 1: we played it on the radio, folks, I would lose

1739
01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:47,599
Speaker 1: it and I might actually have to go to urgent

1740
01:51:47,680 --> 01:51:50,240
Speaker 1: care tonight because I would not be able to stop coffee.

1741
01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:51,680
Speaker 2: Seriously, I was.

1742
01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:56,479
Speaker 1: In just a brief meeting with our program director Jerry

1743
01:51:56,520 --> 01:51:59,479
Speaker 1: Bott talking about the brand new lineup on WISN, which

1744
01:51:59,520 --> 01:52:02,920
Speaker 1: you should definitely listen to tomorrow morning, and he said

1745
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:06,720
Speaker 1: something that just cracked me up, and I honestly thought

1746
01:52:06,840 --> 01:52:09,280
Speaker 1: my lungs were going to explain. I coughed for probably

1747
01:52:09,400 --> 01:52:13,439
Speaker 1: forty five seconds straight, and it's just that's the one

1748
01:52:13,600 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 1: thing I can't do. I think I'm gonna be one

1749
01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 1: hundred percent tomorrow. I've been basically overdosing on dayquill and

1750
01:52:20,560 --> 01:52:25,880
Speaker 1: vitamin C, so hopefully I'll be better. But they're holding

1751
01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:31,479
Speaker 1: a candlelight vigil. These are just fundamentally unseerious people. What

1752
01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:34,759
Speaker 1: I will tell you tomorrow, we have a very serious

1753
01:52:34,920 --> 01:52:38,479
Speaker 1: exclusive story we are going to break for you right

1754
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:41,240
Speaker 1: at the start of the show. I'm doing a little

1755
01:52:41,280 --> 01:52:43,840
Speaker 1: bit more research on it tonight, but I think we've

1756
01:52:43,880 --> 01:52:46,040
Speaker 1: got all systems go for it.

1757
01:52:46,439 --> 01:52:49,040
Speaker 2: It is a relatively big deal. You are going to

1758
01:52:49,120 --> 01:52:51,880
Speaker 2: want to listen to this program at three oh six

1760
01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:02,880
Speaker 2: control things appear to be in the city of Milwaukee.

1761
01:53:03,040 --> 01:53:04,240
Speaker 2: I could not believe it.

1762
01:53:04,560 --> 01:53:06,680
Speaker 1: When I first heard this story, and we are going

1763
