1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Good Wednesday afternoon, you exceptional Americans. How do you do?

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, December third, twenty twenty five, in the

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: Year of Our Lord. This is the Dan o'donald Show

4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: with your radio talk show host Villin, Daddy Matt Kittle.

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: Glad to have you along. Hope you're staying warm. You

6
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: ain't seen nothing yet. The cold is coming, the deep freeze.

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: Thanks again Canada for sending us more of your stuff. Well,

8
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: we got a lot of stuff, speaking of which coming

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: up in the next three hours of The Dan o'donald Show.

10
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 1: We'll tell you all about that in just a bit,

11
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: including a couple of conversations with some real good guests

12
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: in the next couple of hours. I don't know if

13
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: you know this, perhaps you haven't heard the news yet,

14
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 1: but I have some great news for all of those

15
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: who have been longing for who have missed, desperately missed

16
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: the McRib. Yeah, it's back. Oh and a Merry Christmas

17
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: to you too. Yeah, the mcmcrib is back. And once again.

18
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: I always get excited about the return of the McRib

19
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: until I eat it, and then then the excitement kind

20
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: of dissipates rather quickly. But for those of you who

21
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: are in the grateful McRib the McRib heads, if you will.

22
00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: It is back now Giving Tuesday yesterday obviously, and I'm

23
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: told it was a big day for nonprofity property, nonprofits,

24
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: nonprofit properties, yes, and charities of all kinds. You know,

25
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: Americans are the most generation absolutely when it comes to giving.

26
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: When it comes to generosity, Americans. Nobody holds a candle

27
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: to Americans. So another good day. My daughter, my youngest

28
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: Cora Jane, as a matter of fact, was getting involved

29
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: in that with her school project. They were doing a

30
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: little fundraising, a little baking, baking cookies for the homeless,

31
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: which I thought was very nice, and they put in well,

32
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: I guess some inspirational messaging along with the baked goods.

33
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: And so I asked my daughter, so what did you

34
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: put in there? What kind of inspirational messages did you

35
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: put in there? She said, well, one of them was

36
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: you're doing a great job. I thought, well, that is

37
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: very uplifting, you know, keep going those kinds of things,

38
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: very very positive sorts of messages. The cookies will be

39
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: delicious as well, but keep up the good work. Was

40
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: one of the inspirational messages from the eighth grade squad

41
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: coming up a little bit later this hour. The Feminazis

42
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: are back. Follow the Feminazi science. A new Goldwater Institute

43
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: report shines a light on the ideological takeover of the

44
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: American Political Science Review. It is it is supposed to

45
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: be a science base, peer reviewed magazine, periodical, and like

46
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: so many of these others, they have been absolutely commandeered

47
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: by the left. We're going to to Timothy Manela, he

48
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,279
Speaker 1: a senior Constitutionalism Fellow at the Goldwater Institute's Van Sittert

49
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: Center for Constitutional Advocacy. He's author of this new report,

50
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: and I think what basically it underlines is just how

51
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: far the left has infiltrated just about every entity out there,

52
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: every institution out there. Just more to keep an eye

53
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: on and to be aware of. A little bit later

54
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: on the hour, the Democrats have released their vacation photos.

55
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: We'll delve into that before we get to the four

56
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. And in the four o'clock hour, Supreme rigging.

57
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: While milk toast Republicans experience a collective tummy ache over

58
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: the fairness of mid decade redistricting, Democrats nationally are feasting

59
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: on power grabbing jerrymanders. The latest outflanking comes not surprisingly

60
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin's liberal controlled Supreme Court. Our old friend Daniel Sir,

61
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: President of the Center for American Rights and former policy

62
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: director for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, will join us around

63
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: four to twenty this afternoon to talk about the latest

64
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: on that front. As you know probably know by now,

65
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: the leftist led Supreme Court in the state of Wisconsin,

66
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: which was richly bought and paid for by the likes

67
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: of JB. Pritzker, Reid Hoffman, and George Soros. Well, those

68
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: lads are getting their money's worth because the Supreme Court

69
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: decided they were going to establish a couple of very

70
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: far left panels, panels comprised of very far left judges

71
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: to decide a couple of lawsuits that the Democrats are

72
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: pushing so that they can get fairer maps. And what's

73
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: funny about all of this, as you well know, is

74
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: that they want fairer maps. The maps that they're talking about,

75
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: the congressional boundary lines in Wisconsin were actually written by

76
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: Governor Tony Evers People's Committee. They thought those were the

77
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: fair maps at this time. Now they figure they can

78
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: get a lot more out of the Supreme Court, and

79
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: they will get a lot more out of the Supreme Court.

80
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that again coming up in the four

81
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: o'clock hour. And before we get on out of here,

82
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: today tis the season, Yes, it is time for the

83
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: twelve Days of Liberal Christmas. What the liberals are giving

84
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: to wisconsinights all over. We'll delve into that coming up

85
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: in just a bit right now, though, I want to

86
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: start here with what was to the left the Democrat Party,

87
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: the hoped for big victory to show Donald Trump that

88
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: we mean business and we're coming for you. In twenty

89
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: twenty six, it was a special election in Tennessee's seventh

90
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: Congressional district, and he might not care too much about

91
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: what is happening in Congressman Mark Green's old district. Green,

92
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: of course, had been the longtime Republican congressman from the

93
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: seventh Congressional district. He stepped down earlier this year to

94
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: pursue business interest, and so that left the open seat

95
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: in tennessee seventh Congressional district, a district, by the way,

96
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump won by twenty two points last year.

97
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: Green won it by twenty one last year as well.

98
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: Let's just say it is a highly dependable, highly reliable

99
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: Republican congressional district. The left saw this as an opportunity

100
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: they were going to run, and they did it. Run

101
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: maybe one of the wackiest leftist out there, and that's

102
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: saying a good deal at least one of the wackiest

103
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: leftists in Tennessee. Her name is Aten Bean. I don't

104
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: know if you saw the story just about or had

105
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: gotten the four to one one on Aten being throughout,

106
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: but as far as liberals go, I mean, she really

107
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: took the cake. This is someone that earned the name,

108
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: believe me, the AOC of Tennessee. She was a state

109
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: representative from Nashville who earlier in her political career had

110
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 1: talked about how much she hated the city of Nashville,

111
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: how much the she despised the voters of Tennessee in general,

112
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: that they were nothing but a bunch of racist Here's

113
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: the one that probably really cost her. She talked about

114
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: how much she hated country music in music city Nashville,

115
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: the home the mecca of country music. Same leftist sort

116
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: of stuff that you'll find in AOC as well. She

117
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: talked about how she wanted to defund the police, all

118
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: kinds of anti law enforcement rhetoric. She recorded herself earlier

119
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: this year, harassing ice agents. She was deep into, deeply

120
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: steeped in the whole systemic racism shtick. And to put

121
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: a cherry on top of this delicious leftist dessert, she

122
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: passionately talked about how men can give birth. So you've

123
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: got again, there you go. You've got all the credentials,

124
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: you've got the resume set for one of the wackiest

125
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: leftists that Tennessee could ever throw row out. But here's

126
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: the problem. This is again a district that is reliably

127
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: read reliably right. In a special election held in early December,

128
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: the Republican Matt Van Epps, an army veteran, did win,

129
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: but only by nine points. There is a lot of talk,

130
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: of course, by the liberals the Democrat Party today, oh oh,

131
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: that's a harbinger of things to come. Yeah. Sure, our

132
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: candidate got beat pretty badly, but not badly enough, not

133
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: badly enough for us to say, well, who knows what's

134
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: going to happen in the twenty twenty six midterms. No,

135
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: the left says, we know what's going to happen in

136
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six midterms. This closer than expected race

137
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: in Tennessee tells us that there is some truth to that.

138
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: Republicans who sit on the sidelines in special elections, Republicans

139
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: who sit on the sidelines in midterms, Republicans who don't

140
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: have any intention of voting in twenty twenty six because

141
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: Trump is not on the ballot miss the point gravely

142
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: that Trump and his agenda are indeed on the twenty

143
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: twenty six ballot, and that if Republicans do not come

144
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: out and vote in mass for Republican candidates, leftists will

145
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: take over the House and they will absolutely shut down

146
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: the Trump agenda. Not only that, they will be going

147
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: into full impeachment mode. Whether that goes anywhere or not,

148
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: it's all a distraction. It all gets away from draining

149
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: the swamp. Now here's the big takeaway from all of it.

150
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: The Republican Party. Republicans in the House need to start

151
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: locking in on getting Trump's agenda through, not only because

152
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: there's limited time, but they need to give Republican voters

153
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: a reason to get off the sidelines. They need to

154
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: give Republican voters incentive to say, okay, they are now

155
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: again finally with the president, they are with what we

156
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: voted for and While there has been some good movement

157
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: on moving forward the America First agenda, I think a

158
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: lot of conservatives look at what has not been accomplished

159
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: in say why why would we if it's going to

160
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: be the same thing over and over again. Give conservatives

161
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: a reason to vote for you in twenty twenty six.

162
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 1: That reason is America First. Stay with us coming up momentarily,

163
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: going to have a conversation about how the left is

164
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: once again taking over science the American Political Science Review.

165
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, we delve into that with

166
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: a new report on the subject straight ahead on this

167
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: Wednesday edition of The Dan O'Donnell Show with Matt Kittle,

168
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: Stay with us. Merry Christmas, you old building and loan. Sorry,

169
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: can't help myself. I've got a hankering for It's a

170
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: Wonderful Life. You remember when they used to show that

171
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: pretty much around the clock. Last week of Christmas. I

172
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: missed those days. It was a quieter time. We were

173
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: talking about the leftist in Tennessee who lost in the

174
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: seventh Congressional district last night, and the concern and understandable

175
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: concern that the victory by the Republican in that district

176
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: was not significant enough at least not to quiet the

177
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: hopes of Democrats, and they're hoped for blue wave of

178
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. This is a little taste of far

179
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: leftist Aten Beam, who was running as a moderate in

180
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: this deep red congressional district, but indeed as a Marxist.

181
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:36,479
Speaker 1: Let's hear the crooning that went on after her defeat

182
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: last night. Here it is. Yeah, there you have. There's

183
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: aften Beam singing along to Dolly Parton's nine to five,

184
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 1: where other liberals are standing behind her and looking at

185
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: her like, yeah, now we know one of the many

186
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: reasons why she lost in the seventh Congressional district in

187
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee last night. Well, the left is everywhere, as we know.

188
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: Follow the Feminazi science. A new Goldwater Institute report, Peer

189
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: Review Gone Wild, shines a light on the ideological takeover

190
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: of the American Political Science Review by an editing group

191
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: that dubbed itself the Feminist Collective, a group of political scientists,

192
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: so to speak, who pledged allegiance to the woe crusade

193
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: against alleged systemic oppression. It's all about the oppression with

194
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: these folks. Timothy Manella, the senior Constitutionalism fellow at the

195
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: Goldwater Institute's Van Sittert Center for Constitutional Advocacy. An author

196
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: of the report, joins us now in the Dan O'Donnell

197
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: Show with Matt K. Tim. Thank you so much for

198
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: joining us.

199
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: Hi, Matt, it's great to be here with you.

200
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad to have you along with us. It's

201
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: an interesting study because I think, obviously, as you and

202
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: your colleagues know, this isn't the first and it will

203
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: not be the last of these peer review science publications

204
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: that have been taken over by leftists. But give us

205
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: a sense of what the American Political Science Review is

206
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: all about.

207
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: The American Political Science Review is is, with no exaggeration,

208
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 3: one of the top journals so called in political science.

209
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: If you're a political scienceist and you publish in this journal,

210
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 3: you are pretty much set in terms of getting tenure

211
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 3: and getting accolades from your colleagues. And what we've seen

212
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 3: is in this report we show that a group of

213
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: political scientists calling it self the Feminist Collective. That's not

214
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 3: my term, that's their term for themselves. They took over

215
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: this journal and instituted an entirely woke agenda for the

216
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 3: entire review process, going so far as to promise that

217
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 3: they would institute a two tiered system of review for

218
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: submissions to the journals for scientific papers that were submitted

219
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 3: to this journal, where if you were a scholar who

220
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: was a so called scholar of color, your paper would

221
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 3: automatically be advanced in the review process. If you were

222
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: not a scholar of color, your paper would need to

223
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: clear an initial review stage in order to proceed in

224
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 3: the process. And this is just probably the most outrageous

225
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 3: aspect of this, But there's a lot more here in

226
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 3: terms of the papers that were actually getting through. And

227
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 3: this is really concerning because again, this is not so

228
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 3: obscure journal. This is a very very prominent journal in

229
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 3: the discy dicipline that can make or break academic careers.

230
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: So this is essentially DEI infused into the peer review

231
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: process by, as you mentioned, the Feminist Collective. Seriously, you

232
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: cannot make this stuff up. This is the insanity in

233
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: which we are living in now, forced on the left.

234
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: But isn't this basically DEI in science if you will,

235
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: in this case political science.

236
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 3: Absolutely. What we see in the record here is that

237
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 3: the Feminist Collective very clearly said we're going to favor

238
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 3: research that addresses topics like race, gender, sexual orientation, decolonization.

239
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: We're going to favor these as important topics that our

240
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: discipline needs to cover. And that's exactly what they did

241
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 3: when they were editors. About a quarter of all articles

242
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 3: published by them during their tenure were about these subjects.

243
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 3: You compare that amount a huge amount of work on

244
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 3: those subjects with work on the Constitution, something you would

245
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 3: think would be of interest to political science. There were

246
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: about three articles total during their tenure on the Constitution

247
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 3: compared to over one hundred articles on those topics like race, gender,

248
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 3: sexual orientation, and decolonization.

249
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: And so what this shows.

250
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 3: Is that this is the yard stick. Getting published in

251
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 3: a journal like this is a yardstick to show that

252
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 3: you're a legitimate scholar. Your work advances knowledge in this discipline.

253
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: This is a yard stick. And because public universities and

254
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: universities of all stripes are using this as a measuring

255
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 3: stick for their faculty to say this person's legitimate, this

256
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 3: person should the advanced or get tenure. That's why people

257
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 3: should be concerned about this is when the ideology takes

258
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 3: over the scholarship and becomes more important than doing legitimate scholarship.

259
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 3: It degrades the whole academic research process, and that should

260
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 3: concern every American.

261
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: Indeed, but I think it is part and parcel of

262
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: what we're seeing in American higher education, what we've seen

263
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: for a long time now than the leftist control the operation,

264
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: They of course controlled the operation thanks in no small

265
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: part the taxpayer dollars. Timothy Manella, Senior Constitutionalism Fellow at

266
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: the Goldwater Institute, joining us on the Dan O'Donnells Show

267
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: with this interesting new report, Peer Review Gone Wild. It's

268
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: looking at the American Political Science Review and the Feminist

269
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: collective editors in charge. Tim they's this collective? How did

270
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: they get to be in charge? And this smells of litigation?

271
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: That is to say, uh, it stinks of discrimination. Are

272
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: there any is there any movement on that front? Is

273
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: that a possibility that there could be a lawsuit against

274
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: the Feminist collective? And this, uh, this periodical.

275
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 3: I'm I'm unaware of any pending legislation litigation on this,

276
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: but I completely agree with what you're what you're suggesting

277
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 3: here that if if you, as a business owner, came

278
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 3: out and said I'm going to when i'm reviewing resumes,

279
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 3: I'm going to automatically advance the resume of the person

280
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 3: of a certain race that you would be inviting really

281
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 3: expensive lawsuits, and rightly so, because there should be no

282
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 3: room for racial discrimination in this country. But in a

283
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 3: an elite academic journal, this is exactly what they promised

284
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 3: to do. They promised to do this in their proposal

285
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: to the American Political Science Association that's the publisher of

286
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 3: this journal. This is what they said they were going

287
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: to do in the proposal, the application they submitted to

288
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: become editors of this journal for a four year term.

289
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 3: They upright up, they outright said this is what we

290
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 3: planned to do. And the American Political Science Association read

291
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 3: that proposal and said sounds good to us, and hired

292
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 3: them to be editors or chose them to be editors.

293
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: Of this journal.

294
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 3: And so there's a lot of corruption here. And I

295
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: think again, anyone who's concerned with the quality of public

296
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 3: education in this country, at including public universities, should really

297
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 3: be concerned about what's happening here.

298
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: I hinted at it before, But tim are their tax

299
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: dollars going into the production the publication of the American

300
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: Political Science Review.

301
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 3: So I don't have exact figures for this. But you,

302
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 3: of course, and probably many of your readers, know that

303
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 3: the federal government is a huge funder of academic research

304
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 3: of various times, and not just in the hard sciences,

305
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 3: in a number of various disciplines. So it not surprised

306
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 3: me at all that a lot of the research that's

307
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 3: published in this journal was supported by taxpayers. But in

308
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 3: addition to that, I think this is even more crucial.

309
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: There are many articles that we go over in this paper,

310
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 3: not to mention the editors of the journal who had

311
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 3: jobs at public universities, prominent public universities. And what this

312
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 3: shows is that taxpayers, by paying their salaries, are indirectly

313
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 3: funding the time that they have to pump out really

314
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: dubious academic work like the stuff we found in this report,

315
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 3: and that is very concerning. And the gold Or Institute

316
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 3: where I work has developed a proposal for a reform

317
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 3: that brings some accountability to this, that says, if you

318
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 3: want time away from teaching in your pushy professor job

319
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 3: to do this research that you say is advancing human knowledge,

320
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 3: you've got to come through a process to at least

321
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 3: check that this is a legitimate project, that it's not

322
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 3: just another woke project. And that's how I think we're

323
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 3: going to bring accountability this process, so that taxpayers are

324
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 3: no longer on the hook for a lot of this

325
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 3: dubious research that does not really advance human knowledge.

326
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 1: I just have a minute or two left. But there

327
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: are some really wacky articles and studies, however you want

328
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: to define it, published in the American Political Science Review.

329
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: Give us a little shampling of the kind of content

330
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: that folks are reading these days thanks to the feminist collectives.

331
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely so.

332
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 3: One author has an article where he he advocates for

333
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 3: reparations to indigenous people for their so called earthwork that

334
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 3: they do in combating climate change. There's another article that

335
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 3: looks over the politics of superheroes, including such figures as

336
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 3: the Punisher, which this author says becomes an emblem of

337
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 3: quote unquote white male grievance. And then, of course, there

338
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 3: is an article in which the author endorses the quote

339
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 3: unquote socialization of housework. This is the kind of elite

340
00:25:54,880 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 3: academic research that is being rubber stamped in this parent

341
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 3: in one of the top journals in political science. The

342
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 3: rot goes very very deep here.

343
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: Well, the next time I do the dishes in the house.

344
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to my wife about the socialism

345
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: of housework and how I'm oppressed because the kids won't

346
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: scrape off the dishes like I tell them to, all

347
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: of that sort of thing. And and by the way,

348
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: are some of these political scientists, so to speak, living

349
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: in their mother's basements and eating hot pockets. That's what

350
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: it sounds like to me.

351
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 3: So I think, in fact that is the usually not

352
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: the case for someone publishing in this journal. I think

353
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,239
Speaker 3: more often than not they have very stable jobs, and

354
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 3: many of them at public universities. And that's the problem,

355
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 3: is that these are the people who are teaching students

356
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 3: at public universities and universities in general. And you can

357
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 3: see how far to the less the population is here.

358
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: And I think that's another issue that we need to

359
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 3: deal with, this very lopsided ideological imbalance here.

360
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: I think that's a critical point because we have the

361
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: President of the United States doing what so many of

362
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: us voted for, and that was issuing executive orders to

363
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: end DEI. At least there won't be any federal tax

364
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: dollars going to DTI institutions DEI institutions of higher education.

365
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: You know the state of Wisconsin has moved to you know,

366
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: to get rid of these kinds of things. Other states

367
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: have done so, but we just see it all going underground.

368
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: And what we see from this report, Peer Review Gone Wild,

369
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: we just see so many different tentacles of this very

370
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: discriminatory radical left viewpoint that is the exclusive viewpoint at

371
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: places like the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Tim, thank you

372
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: so much for your time. It's a very interesting report.

373
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: Where can our listeners find this report, Peer Review Gone Wild?

374
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 3: You can find us at Goldwaterinstitute dot org, where you

375
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 3: can also take a look at our proposed reform that

376
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 3: addresses the issues that we identify in this report.

377
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: Very good, sir, Timothy Manella, Senior Constitutional Constitutionalism Fellow at

378
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: the Goldwater Institute's Van Sittard Center for Constitutional Advocacy. He

379
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: is author of that report. Tim, Merry Christmas to you.

380
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas. Thank you very much.

381
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: Matt, you bet it is. It is fascinating. I'm hoping though,

382
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: that there is no video showing the feminist collective getting

383
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: involved in their their crusade on oppression. That could be

384
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: it could be too much to watch. As a matter

385
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: of fact, we'll delve into some more issues on this front.

386
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: Coming up in just a bit, and in the four

387
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, we're going to talk a little bit more

388
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: about the Wisconsin State Supreme Courts, a little rigging of

389
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: the map making process, the leftist maps were not leftist enough.

390
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: We'll have a conversation with Daniel Sir, President of the

391
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: Center for American Rights, coming up around four to twenty

392
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: this afternoon. So much more to do on this Wednesday

393
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan o'donnald Show with Matt Kitt'll stay

394
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: with us Mary New Year, Well, we're not there yet,

395
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: but it is the season. Get ready for that, Get

396
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: ready for yours truly to do some pant shopping by

397
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: the time it's all said and men, I ate a

398
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: I ate a grotesque amount of turkey stuffing mashed potatoes

399
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: over Thanksgiving and well things things could could get rough

400
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: for this guy by the time the New Year comes about.

401
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's nice to see when the Democrats share

402
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: their vacation videos. They can be troublesome, that's for sure.

403
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: If you've ever been invited to the neighbors, you know, hey,

404
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: we got some vacation slides, kenne It can get a

405
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,479
Speaker 1: little long and boring, but not this one. Not as

406
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: the Democrats in Congress are looking to make hay on

407
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: the Epstein files political hay that is, and let's just

408
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: say that might not be the best idea for them,

409
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: might not be the best strategy for them they had

410
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm from Fox News today. Epstein island compounds seen in

411
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: new photos released by House Dems. Democrats from the House

412
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: Committee on Oversight and Government Reform announced Wednesday that they

413
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: have quote received never before seen photos and videos of

414
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's private island that are harrowing. Are a harrowing

415
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: look behind Epstein's closed doors pedophile island, as it is

416
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: commonly referred to. See for yourself. We won't stop fighting

417
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: until we end this cover up and deliver justice for

418
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 1: the survivor's Oversight Dems wrote on x that's very interesting

419
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: that they are going to be the warriors to stop

420
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: this cover up when their man in office, or at

421
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: least the people who ran the office for their dementia

422
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: ridden man, had the power, had the ability to release

423
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: these files again for four years. But here's the bigger problem,

424
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: I think for the Democrats in their zeal to release

425
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: this information which admittedly should be released. That's why the

426
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: President of the United States, Donald Trump, signed in order

427
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: recently a law that opens these up, gets this information

428
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: out there, and the Democrats say, Okay, good golad, you're

429
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: finally joining the party here, Donald Trump, because you've been

430
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 1: trying to suppress this information. Blah blah blah blah blah.

431
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: Trump has said on many occasions, I had nothing to

432
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: hide here. Okay, you want it, here you go, Here

433
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: you go. Here's Bill Clinton, which, of course the accomplished

434
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: media doesn't like to mention because that gets into their

435
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: narrative that Trump and false as it is that Trump

436
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: and Epstein were big time buddies. How many times did

437
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: Epstein go to the White House during the Clinton years?

438
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: How many times did Epstein and Clinton get together? Reid Hoffmann, again,

439
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: the big tech billionaire who has been a sugar daddy

440
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: for all leftist causes, who has recently said, yes, we

441
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: need to get all of this information out there. We

442
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: need to make sure that the American people know who's

443
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: behind this cover up and who are these sleezes are,

444
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: who took advantage of these kids, who molested these kids,

445
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: And of course read Hoffmann as we find out took

446
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: a trip in the island. So that I'm saying, I

447
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 1: mean this zeal that the Democrats have to get this

448
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: information out there first and foremost, Where was that zeal

449
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 1: between twenty twenty one and early twenty twenty five. Second

450
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: thing is you want to talk about a political bomb

451
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: that has already and will continue to blow up in

452
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,879
Speaker 1: the faces of the Democrat Party in this country. They

453
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: go on to say in their little X message, this

454
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: production and they're talking about this newly released these newly

455
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: released photos of pedophile Island, Epstein's Island. This production is

456
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: in response to an overse committee request to the US

457
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: Virgin Islands Department of Justice for additional information to aid

458
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 1: in the ongoing committee investigation. Blah blah blah. The committee

459
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: also received records from JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank. Oversight

460
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: Democrats intend to release files to the public after review

461
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: in the days ahead. Again, it is important to note

462
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: that President Trump announced last month that he signed legislation

463
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: greenlighting the Justice Department to release files related to the

464
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The photos

465
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: and video released by the House Oversight Dems purportedly show

466
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: various rooms inside buildings on Little Saint James Island in

467
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: the US Virgin Islands, as well as other locations on

468
00:35:54,520 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: Epstein's isle. The Epstein Files Transparency Act specificly directs the

469
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: Justice Department to release all unclassified records and investigative materials

470
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: related to Epstein in Galne Maxwell, as well as files

471
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: related to individuals who were referenced in Epstein's previous legal cases,

472
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: details surrounding trafficking allegations, internal DOJ communications as they relate

473
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: to Epstein, and any details surrounding the investigation into his death.

474
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: There are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of files involved

475
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: in this, and as the left knows, just as the

476
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: right knows, one of the issues that has been problematic,

477
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: to say the least, is making sure that you have

478
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: the proper information redacted, not information that gets off you know, sorry,

479
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: bad turn phrase, Not some information that hides the identity

480
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: of creeps like I don't know, Prince Andrew is certainly

481
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: having some trouble on the across the Pond and all

482
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: of these sorts of things. But there are a number

483
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: of people that are involved, and I think what a

484
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: lot of people want to know is how was Epstein

485
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 1: pulling strings, pushing buttons? Why was he around these folks? Well,

486
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: the first answer is that some of them are just

487
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: creepy people. The other thing is influence and the peddling

488
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: of influence, the money that was involved, how Epstein was

489
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: able to rake in all of this money, and where

490
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: that money was coming from. Those are important issues too.

491
00:37:55,520 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, this remains a

492
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: big liability for Democrats, particularly going into a midterm, a

493
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: midterm that they are confident they will have a great

494
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: deal of success in they see a big blue wave.

495
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: It's always difficult, of course for the party in power

496
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: in midterms, but it becomes a lot easier for them

497
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: if some very damaging photos and communications of Democrats from

498
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: Pedophile Island come out over their zeal to get this

499
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: information out to the public. We shall see coming up

500
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: straight ahead the second hour of the Dan O'Donnell Show.

501
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: Much to converse about, including the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the

502
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 1: left led Supreme Court, and what it is doing in

503
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: terms of mid decade redistricting. What it's doing, of course,

504
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: is what we all thought this Supreme Court would do.

505
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: They're rigging the system. We'll talk to legal expert Daniel

506
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: Sir on that and the twelve Days of Liberal Christmas.

507
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: That's all straight ahead, and this Wednesday edition of The

508
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show with yours truly your old radiom ego,

509
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: Matt Kitt'll stay with us. Welcome back thrill Seekers, our

510
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: number two of our little get together on this Wednesday

511
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan o'donald Show with your old radio

512
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: amigo Matt Kittle. Glad to have you along with us.

513
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: How are you our excellent producer of course, keeping us

514
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: on the straight and narrow is our good friend Eric Sir.

515
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: Thank you for doing doing the lord's work here. Really,

516
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: I know it's it's some heavy lifting whenever I'm filling in,

517
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: and it is good to have the expertise of Eric

518
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: on the board here. Coming up a little bit later

519
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: this hour, we have plenty to get to yet today

520
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: the milk toast Republicans who are having a collective tummy

521
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: ache over the quote fairness of mid decade redistricting should

522
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: take into account Democrats nationally feasting on power grabbing jerry manders,

523
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,439
Speaker 1: as they are about to do here in the state

524
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin, thanks once again to the big Left money

525
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: machines payments to buying the last couple of Supreme Court

526
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: elections for the left. This is what you're going to get.

527
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Sewer will be joining us. Daniel Syr, president of

528
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: the Center for American Rights and former policy director for

529
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,919
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, will be joining us in oh

530
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: about ten to fifteen minutes or so to talk a

531
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: little bit more about what's next in the Wisconsin Supreme

532
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: Court's decision to turn a couple of lawsuits by the

533
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: left over to panels hand picked. Although we don't know

534
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:21,479
Speaker 1: exactly what the criteria we're involved in this, but yeah,

535
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: hand picked to basically decide this issue of what the

536
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: boundary lines, the congressional boundary lines in Wisconsin looked like,

537
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 1: just in time for the twenty twenty six mid terms.

538
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: Oh and some interesting things on the emissions front. There

539
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: are a group of lawmakers here in Wisconsin. They're saying, hey, listen,

540
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: Wisconsin should not be on the emissions testing side of things.

541
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,280
Speaker 1: That's costing us money, it's costing us resources and time.

542
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: The President had an interesting announcement on this front earlier

543
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: this afternoon. We'll talk more about that coming up. We

544
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: have the twelve Days of lib Christmas for you a

545
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: little bit later on in the hour, and then coming

546
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: up in the five o'clock hour. Dear Lord, he's lost

547
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: the Washington Post. What's going on with Tim Walls, mister

548
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: flannel shirt candidate himself. Tim Walls is having some trouble

549
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: with some Somalians and the truth, and we'll delve into

550
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: that coming up in the five o'clock hour. But here,

551
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 1: let us start this hour with well so interesting information.

552
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: I think that many of us have known for some time.

553
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: But we get a confirmation from the federal government of

554
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: what we've known for some time. Better late than never.

555
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: In a recent five page memo to staff at the

556
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: Center for Biologic's Evaluation and Research, the Center director and

557
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: FDA Chief Medical Officer Vena Prosad committed to acknowledging for

558
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 1: the first time that COVID shots have killed American children.

559
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: My Federalist colleague Jordan Boyd wrote a very good deep

560
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: dive story into all of this. You can find it

561
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: at the Federalist dot com. The headline gets at what

562
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: we've been talking about for some time, children died, and

563
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 1: twenty other shocking things. An FDA scientists just said about

564
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: COVID shots. Delve into a bit of this, but again,

565
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: you can find this full piece at the Federalist dot com.

566
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: Jordan begins by saying the same corporate media and expert

567
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: class so called that cheered censorship and did their best

568
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: to fact check dissent out of the discussion during the

569
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: peak of COVID panic or on edge, after a top

570
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: US Food and Drug Administration official pledged to revamp the

571
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: vaccine approval process. His commitment to reform comes on the

572
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: heels of an unreleased report that found children died after

573
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: receiving the COVID JAB. Once again, this information is not

574
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: startling to any of us paying attention over the last

575
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: several years in this country, the risks for some children

576
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: in getting the COVID shot were higher than not getting

577
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: the COVID shot, and it proved to be a fatal decision,

578
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: terribly and unfortunately. In a recent five page memo to

579
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: staff at the Center for Biologic's Evaluation, as we said,

580
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: they are now acknowledging for the first time that COVID

581
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: shots have killed American children. The report outlining the deaths

582
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: that Prisad repeatedly references is not yet public. Is paragraph

583
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 1: by paragraph. Analysis of the US government's response to COVID,

584
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: the COVID JAB and the Biden administration's SHOT mandates, however,

585
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: reveals more in detail about the role the FDA played

586
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 1: in ignoring the adverse events regulatory agencies and media repeatedly

587
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: claimed did not happen. And let's face it, this was

588
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: a theme. The SHOT issue definitely was part and parcel

589
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 1: of a spectrum of lies and disinformation that the so

590
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: called scientist and the administrative st the bureaucrats under the

591
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: Biden administration and in the state of Wisconsin in the

592
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: Evers administration, the bad bill of goods they sold us.

593
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 1: They didn't listen when very early on we understood the

594
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: mental health risks of keeping kids locked up, locked out

595
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: of schools. We're paying for that now. They didn't listen

596
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: when it should have been pretty understood to anybody, including

597
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: those that were not considered labor and business economic experts,

598
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: that if you shut down the brunt of an economy,

599
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: it's going to hurt you as a country, as a consumer,

600
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: as a tech spare. And that inflation that we've been

601
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: dealing with for so long direct result of the decisions

602
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: made in the wake of the panic over the pandemic,

603
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: and then there are the fatalities, the lives lost because

604
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: of bad decisions. As Jordan writes, at least ten children

605
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: died after the COVID jab That's a very conservative estimate

606
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: because of how this stuff is tracked. Obviously, what we

607
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: learned very early on is that we had the health

608
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 1: officials tracking COVID deaths with people who had comorbidities. In fact,

609
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: a COVID death could have been something that was related

610
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: to another health problem, heart disease, diabetes, all kinds of things.

611
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: COVID obviously didn't help matters, but that doesn't mean that

612
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: the individual died from COVID. And those are the two

613
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: prepositional terms that I think were very significant remain very

614
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: significant now, almost six years after died of died with

615
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 1: In the first paragraph of the letter to his staff,

616
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: Rasad declared that ten children have died after and because

617
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: of receiving COVID nineteen vaccination. These deaths, he continued, were

618
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: not only classified by staff as likely probable possible attribution

619
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 1: to the job, but also certainly an underestimate due to

620
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: underreporting and inherent bias in attribution. This safety signal has

621
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: far reaching implications for Americans, the US pandemic response and

622
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: the age see itself, which I wish to discuss here,

623
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: he added, And I think tied to all of this

624
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: is the fact that the Centers for Disease Control and

625
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 1: Prevention overlooked COVID shot safety signals. Some of the first

626
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: indicators that people experienced severe side effects linked to the

627
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 1: COVID shot were quote reports of vaccine induced my carditis.

628
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 1: Prasad noted that the heart inflammation appeared more in groups

629
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 1: such as young, healthy boys and men, those least likely

630
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: to experience bad COVID outcomes. So these heart related issues,

631
00:49:53,160 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: some of them quite severe, came out of what we

632
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 1: were told was the necessary route to take to make

633
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: sure we stop the spread. You know, we flattened the curve,

634
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: as they kept saying, and so we got to give

635
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: this to everybody, obviously the most vulnerable. That's where it

636
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 1: all began. But then very quickly into this process, young people,

637
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: otherwise healthy people were also told, you got to get

638
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: the shot so that we can avoid the spread of

639
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: this stuff. Well, we know we know about the lie

640
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 1: therein the risk was as high as two hundred to

641
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: three hundred thirty per million doses given in the highest

642
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: risk demographic groups, Prisad warned, despite the FDA's alleged monitoring

643
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,280
Speaker 1: of their cases, Prissad said both the FDA and CDC

644
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: were not the first to recognize the safety signaled. In fact,

645
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 1: in April twenty twenty one, CDC director Rochelle Wolenski Rochelle

646
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: Rochelle and her journey to Minsk, claimed that her agency

647
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: had not seen a signal even though we've actually looked

648
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 1: intentionally for the signal in over two hundred million doses

649
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: we've given. Many felt this statement was dishonest and manipulative,

650
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:40,760
Speaker 1: Prasad said, noting that the Israelis recognized the safety signal

651
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: that same year, and we know based on the follow

652
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 1: up reporting that there were a lot of things others recognized,

653
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: or at least others were honest about outside of the

654
00:51:54,320 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: United States, which saved them a lot of pain and

655
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 1: a lot of problems moving forward with the JAB. Anyway,

656
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: it's an interesting report. It confirms what we have known,

657
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,320
Speaker 1: some of what we have suspected, and I do believe

658
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: obviously we will get more information from this so far

659
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:19,399
Speaker 1: unreleased report. The first details coming out of it are

660
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,240
Speaker 1: very concerning You can find the breakdown the full story

661
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: at the Federalist dot com, the headline as children died

662
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: and twenty other shocking things an FDA scientists just said

663
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: about COVID shots. Straight ahead, we'll get into the shocking details,

664
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: the shocking details of what the leftist led Wisconsin Supreme

665
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:45,359
Speaker 1: Court just did. Daniel sirr Legal expert, joins us on

666
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: the quest for remapping by the Democrats to give them

667
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: every advantage heading into twenty twenty six. Stay with us

668
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: for that conversation straight ahead, but the Arstrulie Matt Kittle

669
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: on this edition of the Dan O'Donnell Show, and a

670
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: rock and Hanakah too. Thanks for joining us on the

671
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show Wednesday edition on this December third, twenty

672
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 1: twenty five, in the Year of Our Lord. I'm your

673
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 1: radio talk show host Phil and Daddy Matt Kittle, so

674
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: glad to have you along with us. Well, it was

675
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: just a matter of time. Remember it wasn't too long

676
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: ago that we had some liberal justices in the Wisconsin

677
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,400
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. We're not going to take up the whole

678
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:43,279
Speaker 1: mid decade redistricting issue. We know our good pals in

679
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party and our good liberal friends all on

680
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: us to jerrymander the hell out of the maps and

681
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: put it in the the advantage of the Democrats, so

682
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: we can pick up another couple of seats in the

683
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: House and get that meanal nasty grinch of a president

684
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Yeah, Supreme Court led by liberals now the

685
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: four to three majority, they weren't going to delve into that. Well,

686
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: then well things changed. Things changed. Looked around, they looked

687
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 1: at Gaven Newsom in California, They looked over there in Virginia,

688
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: and in Illinois just to the south, which is the

689
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: most arguably the most gerrymandered state in the nation when

690
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: it comes to congressional maps and maps in general. They said, ooh,

691
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 1: we got to do whatever we can do, whether it's

692
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: within the law, whether it's not strictly in the constitution,

693
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 1: whatever we have to do to massage the law and

694
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:56,760
Speaker 1: the constitution will do that for power. But while milk

695
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: toast Republicans experience a collective to me ache over the

696
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: fairness of mid decade redistricting, Democrats nationally are feasting on

697
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:12,320
Speaker 1: power grabbing jerrymanders. As just noted, the latest outflanking comes

698
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin's liberal controlled Supreme Court. Daniel Sir, President of

699
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: the Center for American Rights and former policy director for

700
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, joins us now for a little

701
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 1: perspective on it all. Daniel, my friend, how are you.

702
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, man, could be with you.

703
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving, and Merry Christmas to you and

704
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: to your family. This is a very interesting time, of course,

705
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,720
Speaker 1: because we have seen so much of the power grabbing

706
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:51,479
Speaker 1: that's come out of California. Now understandably, we have seen

707
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: what is going on in Texas with a mid decade

708
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,959
Speaker 1: change of the maps that would give Republicans an advantage there.

709
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: But as soon as that that plan was laid out,

710
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,040
Speaker 1: as soon as it was approved, it was Katie bar

711
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 1: the door for Democrats. And now are we not seeing

712
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: the same political response from the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

713
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: Well, And what's so troubling about it, Matt, is that

714
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 2: it's a court and not a legislature. Right. The Wisconsin

715
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 2: Constitution and generally state constitutions place the responsibility for redistricting

716
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 2: with our elected legislators, and so in states like Indiana

717
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:34,320
Speaker 2: and Texas, you have the legislature making a policy choice

718
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 2: to redistrict in the middle of the normal once a

719
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:43,320
Speaker 2: decade cycle. Wisconsin is different because here you have activist

720
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 2: lawyers coming in front of activist judges and saying, regardless

721
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 2: of what the state constitution says, regardless of who's supposed

722
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 2: to be in charge, you guys need to help us

723
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 2: out and redistrict midyear, even though that's not your job.

724
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,280
Speaker 2: Just do it anyway. And that is a significant difference

725
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,880
Speaker 2: and a significant problem.

726
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: Well, they tapped this panel, did they tap that? Let

727
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: me ask you this, did they tap these two panels

728
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 1: to deal with the two lawsuits that were filed by

729
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: leftist groups looking for better maps for Democrats in twenty

730
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: twenty six? What does the laws say on the creation

731
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: of these panels? Daniel? And what does the laws say

732
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: about how the panels are created? That is to say,

733
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the majority came up with the

734
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: members of this panel, and it just so happens that

735
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: those members are some of the more far left judges

736
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: in the state of Wisconsin.

737
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no doubt that these panels were handpicked in

738
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 2: a way that suggests a preference for a particular outcome.

739
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 2: I think that's a very fair characterization, and though the

740
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 2: law allows it, it is definitely contrary to the spirit

741
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 2: of the law. And I'm not a big spirit of

742
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 2: the law guy, right, I'm a textualist. But the way

743
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 2: the law is written, it requires these three judge panels

744
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 2: to be drawn from different parts of the state. And

745
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,439
Speaker 2: I think the idea behind that when the legislature wrote

746
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,919
Speaker 2: the law was to say, we don't want just Dane

747
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:30,880
Speaker 2: County judges deciding on maps for the whole state. That's

748
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 2: not representative of the politics of the whole state, and

749
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 2: it's an invitation of judicial activism. So we're going to

750
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 2: have in place this requirement in the law that you

751
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 2: have to have three judges and they have to be

752
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 2: geographically balanced from different parts of the state. So that's

753
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 2: good policy, that makes sense. What those Gossip Supreme Court

754
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 2: did here, though, is go in the different regions and

755
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,680
Speaker 2: say who is the most reliable liberal we can find

756
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 2: in each of these three regions, and then we'll handpick

757
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 2: those three people. And so we with the functional equivalent

758
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 2: of three Dane County judges, even if technically they're from

759
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 2: multiple different counties, we still get the handpicked liberal panels

760
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 2: that are going to tee this up the way the

761
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 2: liberal majority of Supreme Court wants it to go.

762
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's take a look real quick, because I think

763
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 1: it bears repeating. I know that our excellent talk show

764
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: host on these radio stations have talked about just who

765
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: is on these panels, but I think it's important for

766
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: a refresher. One of the judges used to be the

767
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: chairman of the Marathon County Democratic Party. Another judge, if

768
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 1: you read his application to become a Dane County judge,

769
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: talked about basically how much he loathed the Republicans' original

770
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: redistricting congressional redistricting that goes back about a decade and

771
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: a half or so, and really spelled out what his

772
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: preferences are and basically how he would ultimately vote. How

773
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: is that fairness in the process.

774
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not right. The short answer is, it's not

775
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 2: fairness in the process. There's an often used line in

776
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 2: lawyer circles about legislative history where we say, you know,

777
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 2: legislative history is looking out over a crowd and picking

778
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 2: out your friends, because you can basically find in a

779
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 2: voluminous record for any bill or any legislation something that

780
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 2: supports what you want, And if you're a judge, you

781
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 2: find what you want and you stick it in the opinion,

782
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 2: and that's how you justify the outcome. Well, all that

783
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 2: happened here was the Wisconsin Supreme Court's liberal majority looked

784
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 2: out over the crowd of Circuit court judges and picked

785
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 2: their friends. They picked the people who they knew, based

786
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,919
Speaker 2: on their previous record, would be the most in qui

787
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 2: to reach the outcome that they were most looking for.

788
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 2: And we shouldn't be surprised then that already one of

789
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 2: these panels has announced they're going to move at blazing

790
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 2: fast speed in order to try to jam this down

791
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 2: the state's throat by the fall twenty twenty six elections,

792
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 2: which is incredible when you think in context for when

793
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 2: absentee ballots have to go out, when ballots have to

794
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 2: be printed, when nomination papers have to be circulated. The

795
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 2: idea that we could do something as big as decide

796
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 2: redistricting needs to be done as a matter of law

797
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 2: and draw new maps in a matter of a couple

798
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 2: of months is insanely fast speed for courts, and it

799
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 2: just shows this chain of train is chugging down the

800
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 2: tracks in a particular direction.

801
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Indeed, Daniel Sir, President of the Center for American Rights

802
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 1: and former policy director for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, joins

803
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,600
Speaker 1: US now to talk about what the left led Supreme

804
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 1: Court hath done in the way of convenient maps for

805
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 1: the Democrats. You've seen this movie before, and you can see,

806
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:18,439
Speaker 1: as Daniel just noted, where this train appears to be headed.

807
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:22,200
Speaker 1: It's interesting you note about the timing of all of this.

808
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty today filed a

809
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: couple of motions to intervene in these lawsuits, arguing that

810
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 1: imposing new districts now would violate federal law and the

811
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: US Constitution. On behalf of a group of Wisconsin voters

812
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 1: will filed motions to intervene, arguing the challenges are time

813
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 1: barred and that the newly appointed panel does not have

814
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: the authority to overrule the state Supreme Court's earlier decision

815
01:02:55,920 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: approving the current congressional lines. And it is interesting to note, Daniel,

816
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 1: that previous decision approved Governor Tony Ever's congressional lines. That

817
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: tells you just what kind of manipulation this is truly

818
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: all about. But what do you say to the Wisconsin

819
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,360
Speaker 1: Institute of law and liberties arguments here.

820
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, huge applause to Will for taking this on. One

821
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 2: of the realities of our system is that the state's

822
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 2: attorney general, Josh Call, is responsible for defending state laws.

823
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 2: And in this case, Josh Call is a partisan Democrat,

824
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:40,439
Speaker 2: And though he has a responsibility to defend state law,

825
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 2: lawyers always have flexibility about how they defend state law

826
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 2: and what arguments they make. And so it's really important

827
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 2: for the congressional delegation, the members were actually elected under

828
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 2: these maps, and for conservative voters represented by folks like

829
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 2: Will to engage in this process, to stand up for

830
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 2: their legal rights, to make the necessary arguments, and really

831
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 2: provide the court with a full picture of the arguments,

832
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:16,919
Speaker 2: because you know, we just can't necessarily automatically assume Josh

833
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 2: Calls is going to do that, especially given how he

834
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 2: has argued in previous redistricting cases. And you know, your

835
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 2: line from the Will pressure release, I think points exactly

836
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 2: right to the major problems here. These cases could have

837
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 2: been brought years ago when these maps were first announced.

838
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 2: They were not right. They weren't because it wasn't a

839
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 2: liberal majority at the time. These folks waited until there

840
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 2: was a liberal majority, and there was at the time

841
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 2: a majority that already has ruled to uphold these maps.

842
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 2: And so how three state trial court judges could have

843
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 2: the power to overrule what the state Supreme Court has

844
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 2: already done is a real head scratcher. So those are

845
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 2: important arguments that need to be made, and I'm glad

846
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 2: Will was making them.

847
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: Well, it ties into something I think that is interesting

848
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 1: playing out here politically and psychologically. Do the liberal members

849
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court, the four members that control the

850
01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, do they think they're washing their hands of

851
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: this matter? And that ties into the failure to recuse

852
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: by two justices, that being Susan Crawford and Janet Protosowitz,

853
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: who have some really clear conflicts of interest. Susan Crawford,

854
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: just briefly, we know that she attended a donor advisory

855
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 1: meeting in January in which they were talking about how

856
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 1: important it was that Susan Crawford win so that the

857
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Democrats could take back two seats in Congress from Wisconsin.

858
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: This whole thing is filled with conflict.

859
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 2: It absolutely is, Matt. It's really unfortunate how our standards

860
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 2: for judicial ethics have been disregarded in recent state Supreme

861
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 2: Court races where candidates feel empowered to communicate their values

862
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 2: without announcing particular positions, or to join, you know, donor

863
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 2: meetings where other people say the things that judges can't say,

864
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 2: but in ways that really compromise public faith in our judiciary.

865
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 2: It's really unfortunate, and you wish people would recognize that,

866
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 2: take responsibility for it, and recuse when these kind of

867
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 2: cases come up, but they don't. And so the result

868
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 2: will be that when the Wisconsin Supreme Court does eventually

869
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 2: hear whatever appeal comes out of these three judge panels,

870
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 2: that the public is rightly going to look cascants at

871
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 2: this and ask where these issues decided before the party

872
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 2: has ever got their day in court. And that's just

873
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 2: really detrimental to faith in our democracy, faith in our judiciary.

874
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 2: And it's a sad consequence of the sort of brutal

875
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 2: campaigns that have unfortunately defined left wing candidates for the

876
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Supreme Court.

877
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,919
Speaker 1: The last few cycles, just a minute left with Daniels, Sir,

878
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: President of the Center for American Rights, joining us on

879
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell's show, and then the question is this,

880
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: where do you think the Wisconsin situation is going. And

881
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,959
Speaker 1: then where do you think that all of these mid

882
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: decade redistricting laws plans are going. I mean, California, Texas,

883
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: talk of it in Illinois and Virginia and elsewhere. Where

884
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: is all of this heading?

885
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. My hope is then in twenty twenty six we

886
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 2: will see a sufficiently strong majority in Congress frankly for

887
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 2: either party obviously I prefer Republicans, but for either party

888
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 2: that these incremental changes of one or two seats don't matter.

889
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 2: You know, we used to live in a world where

890
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 2: you know, Tip O'Neil would have a twenty seat majority,

891
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,719
Speaker 2: thirty forty seat majority in the House, and so tinkering

892
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 2: around the edges or one incumbent passing away or somebody

893
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 2: retiring at a particular date to take another job like

894
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 2: it didn't throw the majority into question. And in more

895
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 2: recent times, we've lived in a world where you know,

896
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:40,720
Speaker 2: two or three seats, four seats, five seats really makes

897
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 2: the difference. And so you have somebody die or something

898
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 2: like that, and these these incremental changes really can change

899
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:53,639
Speaker 2: the majority. So the hope is that Americans rally around

900
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:59,959
Speaker 2: a public policy agenda that gives a mandate to leadership

901
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 2: in Congress, I think short of that, immediately to Wisconsin.

902
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 2: You know, we need to pump the brakes here. Stop

903
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:12,480
Speaker 2: this blazing fast speed that is characterizing these cases. Respect

904
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 2: the role of local municipal clerks and the Wisconsin Elections

905
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 2: Commission and military voters overseas in having predictable, stable election

906
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 2: system for twenty twenty six, and let this litigation play

907
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 2: out at a normal pace rather than trying to jam

908
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:34,640
Speaker 2: something through in a couple of months. That's going to

909
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 2: throw the whole system into chaos. That's not good for anybody.

910
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,599
Speaker 1: Well, if they jam something through, we know this for sure,

911
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 1: which we knew before, and that is in legal terminology.

912
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: The left, the Wisconsin Democrat Party, has no standing when

913
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:57,120
Speaker 1: they talk about how unfair Republican drawn maps are. We

914
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 1: need never and we shouldn't have to begin with. Listen

915
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: to those kinds of arguments again, species at best. Daniel,

916
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for your time and your perspective will

917
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: be interesting to watch.

918
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 2: It's cap and quick, and the whole state needs to

919
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 2: pay attention because a lot is on the line.

920
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 1: A lot is on the line. I think that's the

921
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway here. A lot of is on the line

922
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 1: for so many reasons. A lot is on the line

923
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty six midterms. That's why it is

924
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 1: so critical to stand up, because what is ultimately on

925
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 1: the line is this state and this Republic. Daniel Sir,

926
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 1: President of the Center for American Rights, former policy director

927
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, joining us on this edition

928
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: of the Dan O'Donnells Show with yours truly, Matt Kittle,

929
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 1: stay with us straight ahead emissions testing in the twelve

930
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 1: Days of lib Christmas. As we wrap up the four

931
01:10:55,920 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, hang on, I'll show your old radio amigo,

932
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,720
Speaker 1: Matt Kittle filling in. We'll have some fill ins for

933
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 1: the next couple of days as I understand this schedule

934
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: working out and Danille back with you, same bat time,

935
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 1: same bat channel on Monday. Got a few things to

936
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 1: accomplish before we get to the five o'clock hour, including

937
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:29,080
Speaker 1: this Today, WISN ABC twelve reporting Wisconsin lawmakers are calling

938
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 1: for the removal of vehicle emissions testing, arguing that the

939
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 1: Clean Air Acts rules are outdated and impose economic burdens

940
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 1: on citizens. They are correct on both and all fronts,

941
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,560
Speaker 1: and it's something we've been talking about in southeast Wisconsin

942
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,600
Speaker 1: for a very long time. The state in general. In

943
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:55,040
Speaker 1: a letter to Wisconsin's federal congressional delegation, eighteen state representatives

944
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 1: and senators pushed Congress to repeal the requirement, which went

945
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 1: into effect forty years ago. So yes, indeed, these are

946
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: outdated standards. Emissions testing is required for cars in seven

947
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: southeastern Wisconsin counties Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaki, Racine, Cheboygan, Washington, and Milwaukee. Shaw.

948
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: Drivers in those areas are required to complete an onboard

949
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 1: diagnostic test every two years. I'm telling you things you

950
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 1: already know. It's a pain in the tukis, and yet

951
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: that's pain in the tukis pretty much sums up the

952
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: federal government and their broad regulations. Typically it happens when

953
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: renewing registration to ensure vehicles meet environmental standards. State Representative

954
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: Bob Donovan, who represents Assembly District sixty one here in

955
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee area, believes the program is no longer useful

956
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 1: due to the economic burdens it places on drivers. You

957
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:03,839
Speaker 1: also feel technological advancements have reduced the need for testing.

958
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: I reached out to Bob the phone number that I had.

959
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,840
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard back from him. I'd love to get

960
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:12,760
Speaker 1: him on the show to talk a little bit more

961
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:17,040
Speaker 1: about this. Bob knows what everybody in southeast Wisconsin knows

962
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 1: this system and what it means in terms of economic

963
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 1: impact as well. In the piece from WISN, he says,

964
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 1: I think we all certainly have an obligation to work

965
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:32,600
Speaker 1: towards clean air, clean water. We all want that. But

966
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 1: if a program can't even prove after forty years that

967
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 1: it's made a difference, that concerns me. And we all

968
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 1: breathe the same air. Yet if you live across the

969
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:48,280
Speaker 1: street from a county in this program, well you don't

970
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:53,480
Speaker 1: have to partake in it. So to me, it's negligible

971
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: what we gain from this. That's why I think it's

972
01:13:56,200 --> 01:14:00,840
Speaker 1: important the federal government reevaluated. Again. These are the same

973
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,840
Speaker 1: common sense arguments that have been made for years. And

974
01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: guess who's shoving all of this stuff on us? Yeah,

975
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 1: the federal government to be sure, But our good neighbors

976
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:14,519
Speaker 1: to the south of us in Illinois that have cost

977
01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 1: us so much already cost their own citizens obviously debt

978
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 1: ridden expenses. But yeah, all of that stuff is coming

979
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: their way. It also comes in from Canada, it gets

980
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:35,559
Speaker 1: into here, and we have these old aniquated measurements in

981
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 1: these old antiquated rules, and it is extremely costly for

982
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's economy, Southeast Wisconsin's economy in particular, and businesses and

983
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 1: employees of those businesses. Something to watch for. I know

984
01:14:54,280 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 1: that President Trump earlier today this was interesting. Do you

985
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:05,040
Speaker 1: have this here? Yeah, there it is. President Donald Trump

986
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 1: announced on Wednesday afternoon a reset of federal fuel standards

987
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 1: that heightened under the Biden administration. The White House said

988
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 1: that'll save one hundred and nine billion dollars in total

989
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:22,680
Speaker 1: for American families. So obviously this is a receptive administration

990
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: for these kinds of arguments that the state lawmakers are making.

991
01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: Now quickly before we get to the four o'clock or

992
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 1: how about the twelve days of Lib Christmas Liberal Christmas,

993
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 1: that is, these will be.

994

Speaker 2: Known to.

995
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:46,760
Speaker 1: Wisconsinights who have long suffered under Tony Evers and the

996
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 1: leftist policies in the state of Wisconsin, at least leftist

997
01:15:53,280 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 1: directives from Governor Tony Evers. Perhaps it's best not to

998
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: sing them. Ah, but what the heck? It is the

999
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:07,479

Speaker 1: border crossers. Yes, if the Left takes over the legislature again,

1015
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 1: it's benefits for all. On the tenth day of Christmas,

Speaker 1: drive home. Just keep in mind there remain some folks

1032
01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:53,600
Speaker 1: out there who still need time to learn how to

1033
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 1: drive in winter weather, and they are the ones who

1034
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 1: are probably impact in your drive home right now. It's

1035
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:07,680
Speaker 1: a learning curve, is what it is. How are you,

1036
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:10,799
Speaker 1: Matt Kittle, your radio talk show host Phil and Daddy

Speaker 1: filling in for Dan O'Donnell. He's out for the next

01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: few days. He'll be back with you, same Bat times,

1039
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 1: same bat channel Wednesday. We've got some things to accomplish

1040
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 1: this hour, and I'm going to let you know all

1041
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 1: about those here and now. Just a tad later in

1042
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: the hour. Delusions of grandeur from the accomplice media, which

1043
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: of course has lived their lives on a foundation of

1044
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 1: delusions of grandeur, particularly in the modern media age. We'll

1045
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:49,679
Speaker 1: talk more about that in just a bit. And the

1046
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 1: least Surprising story of the day. A lot of stories

1047
01:19:56,200 --> 01:20:02,599
Speaker 1: that stun us, catch us off guard, shock us, even

1048
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: this one, the least surprising story of the day. We'll

1049
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,800
Speaker 1: do that before we get on out of here. This

1050
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:17,559
Speaker 1: piece just came in this afternoon, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

1051
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 1: Reporting this hour we were talking about the leftist led

1052
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:26,799
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Supreme Court. Once again, thanks to all who decided

1053
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 1: not to vote in the April first election. Right minded

1054
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 1: people who value well reality, really value common sense and

1055
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 1: limited government in our lives. We have the Supreme Court

1056
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:47,680
Speaker 1: that we have because well, the left got to their

1057
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 1: voters out and the right didn't. So here we go.

1058
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:55,799
Speaker 1: The payoff is here for the big money interest. Remember

1059
01:20:55,880 --> 01:21:01,640
Speaker 1: the April first Supreme Court Electionisconsin Supreme Court election was

1060
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:08,800
Speaker 1: the most expensive judicial race in US history. It was

1061
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:11,479
Speaker 1: well over one hundred million dollars. I'm trying to think

1062
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:14,759
Speaker 1: what it finally landed on. Maybe one hundred and twenty million.

1063
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 1: I it was an ungodly amount of money pumped in.

1064
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 1: And the twenty twenty five Wisconsin Supreme Court election overtook

1065
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:32,519
Speaker 1: the previous most expensive supreme or judicial race judicial election

1066
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:36,719
Speaker 1: in US history, that was the twenty twenty three three

1067
01:21:37,160 --> 01:21:43,320
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Supreme Court election. So there's a pattern here. And

1068
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: let's just say the George Soroses and the JB. Pritzkers,

1069
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:55,719
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Democratic Party, Reid Hoffmann's they are duly getting

1070
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: what they paid for. Again the story of this hour

1071
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: in the Hawaukee Journal Sentinel. Wisconsin's highest court has agreed

1072
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:08,320
Speaker 1: to take up a lawsuit seeking to block county jails

1073
01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:16,679
Speaker 1: from holding immigrant detainees at federal authority's request. You could

1074
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 1: see this one coming a mile away. I remember talking

1075
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:24,280
Speaker 1: to a great legal mind in the state of Wisconsin.

1076
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: It was either earlier early this year or late last year,

1077
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: but we were talking about the very limited schedule, the

1078
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 1: very limited docket that the left led Wisconsin Supreme Court

1079
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 1: had last year, and it was remarkable just how few

1080
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 1: cases that court, relatively speaking, decided to take up. That's

1081
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:55,760
Speaker 1: all gone now there will be. You just have a

1082
01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: feeling they're settled in, they're all ready to go. They

1083
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 1: didn't want to. They didn't want to didn't want to

1084
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 1: mess up the perception royal the waters, if you will,

1085
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 1: that they were a leftist court and that leftist justices

1086
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: wouldn't do what leftist judges is normally do, and that is,

1087
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 1: of course legislate from the bench. So between two and

1088
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:33,960
Speaker 1: twenty three August and then of course the election Supreme

1089
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: Court election of twenty twenty five, they lay relatively low. Now,

1090
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:46,160
Speaker 1: of course they did certain things that observers of the

1091
01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: law of Wisconsin, Wisconsin's constitution, the US Constitution, they look

1092
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: at and they say, my god, that doesn't make any

1093
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 1: sense as it doesn't comport with the law. It's more

1094
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: political than it is legal. But anyway, you didn't get

1095
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 1: a lot of that because they were worried about perceptions.

1096
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 1: They were worried that the Conservatives would be able to

1097
01:24:10,960 --> 01:24:16,439
Speaker 1: use their record against them to tell voters, hey, if

1098
01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 1: you elect another one of these liberals. They're going to

1099
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: do even more of this stuff. And in April of

1100
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, it was all about holding the liberal

1101
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:29,479
Speaker 1: majority on the Court. They've got that, they've got that

1102
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 1: for some time. They don't have to worry about perceptions.

1103
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 1: Now it is let's light this baby on fire. Give

1104
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: me the matches in the gasoline. I am ready, as

1105
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:46,439
Speaker 1: a leftist Supreme Court justice, to burn this thing down.

1106
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 1: And so it is no surprise that they would take

1107
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:57,719
Speaker 1: this case involving the lawsuit that seeks to block county

1108
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:04,760
Speaker 1: jails from holding immigrant detainees federal authorities request. It would

1109
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:07,320
Speaker 1: be no surprise if this court comes back with a

1110
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 1: four to three ruling saying no, no, no, no, no,

1111
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 1: there's no right to that at all. The American Civil

1112
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:17,000
Speaker 1: Liberties Union of Wisconsin filed the lawsuit on behalf of

1113
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: immigrant advocacy group Voices de la Frontera. And if you've

1114
01:25:25,880 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 1: if you've been around for a while in the Milwaukee area,

1115
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:32,519
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin in general, you know the far left work

1116
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:37,000
Speaker 1: that the Voices dela Fronterra is doing on behalf of

1117
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 1: all kinds of illegal immigrants, including folonious illegal immigrants. There

1118
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 1: are five Wisconsin sheriffs who also partnered with the US

1119
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:51,120
Speaker 1: Immigration Customs Enforcement Agency to house the immigrants, an action

1120
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 1: known as a detainer. The decision to accept the case

1121
01:25:56,000 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: was made by four liberal leaning justices who control the court.

1122
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:05,080
Speaker 1: According to Supreme Court Justice Brian Hagadorn, who is part

1123
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:10,440
Speaker 1: of the court's conservative minority, we do know that Hagadorn

1124
01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:14,720
Speaker 1: also is willing to get into the liberal carpool on

1125
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 1: certain issues. The lawsuit comes as President Donald Trump and

1126
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 1: his administration step up efforts to deport people who live

1127
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 1: in the US illegally. Yes. In other words, President Trump

1128
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 1: and his administration are doing what the American people told

1129
01:26:34,040 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: them to do, and yet the left and their pals

1130
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 1: and the accomplished media are just eternally surprised that someone

1131
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:51,560
Speaker 1: would actually do what they promised to do. The sheriffs

1132
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 1: being challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union. And remember

1133
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:02,880
Speaker 1: what the ACLU is, It's civil liberties. It's all. It's

1134
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 1: always been about protecting civil liberties of leftists, the civil

1135
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 1: liberties of people who lean to the right. Not so

1136
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 1: much over the last ten to twenty years, not at all. Really.

1137
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: The challenge by the ACLU the sheriffs, i should say

1138
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 1: being challenged by the ACLU are Dave Gerber of Walworth County,

1139
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 1: Todd Delanne of Brown County, the Marathon County sheriff. Let's

1140
01:27:39,080 --> 01:27:42,280
Speaker 1: see who else in the Kenosha County sheriff and Sauk

1141
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:46,000
Speaker 1: County sheriff. When a sheriff honors a detainer from ICE,

1142
01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:48,879
Speaker 1: they agree to hold a person for forty eight hours

1143
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:54,439
Speaker 1: after they should have been released under state law to

1144
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:57,360
Speaker 1: give ICE time to pick up and take custody of

1145
01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:01,320
Speaker 1: the person. This has been the battle and the hill,

1146
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:05,200
Speaker 1: at least one of the illegal immigration hills that the

1147
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: left has been dying on for some time. The likes

1148
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:19,280
Speaker 1: of Dane County and their Marxist sheriff, what has happened

1149
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:23,840
Speaker 1: in liberal leaning counties across the state. They don't want

1150
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 1: to have anything to do, and they make it very

1151
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 1: clear we're not going to help ICE agents enforce the law.

1152
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:37,320
Speaker 1: That really is what the argument is, because that's what

1153
01:28:37,439 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 1: ICE agents are doing, whether the Left likes it or not.

1154
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 1: There are immigration laws in place, and those laws also

1155
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:54,600
Speaker 1: come with enforcement measures, and those laws demand that Immigration

1156
01:28:55,800 --> 01:29:02,559
Speaker 1: Customs enforcement officials enforce those laws, which means deporting people

1157
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 1: who have committed a crime of coming here illegally. Now,

1158
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 1: we've read a lot about illegal immigrants who not only

1159
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:15,520
Speaker 1: committed the crime of coming here and being here illegally

1160
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 1: undocumented as the left likes to call it, But there

1161
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:23,719
Speaker 1: are a lot of illegal immigrants that have been taken

1162
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 1: into custody over the last several months around the country

1163
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 1: who have very violent criminal records. That is to say,

1164
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 1: they broke the law illegally coming into the country, and

1165
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:43,080
Speaker 1: then they broke more laws during their stay. So it

1166
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:50,600
Speaker 1: shouldn't come as a surprise that sheriff's departments would decide

1167
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 1: to be on the side of law and order. Seriff's

1168
01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 1: departments assist law enforcement officials in other counties and other

1169
01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:06,160
Speaker 1: jurisdictions all the time that they are assisting federal agents

1170
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:11,960
Speaker 1: who are themselves enforcing the law and are required to

1171
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 1: enforce the law. Well, that's just another partnership. But the

1172
01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 1: Left wants nothing to do with it. And the liberals,

1173
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:25,160
Speaker 1: who control this court by a four or three majority,

1174
01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:30,240
Speaker 1: have now decided to take this case. And again, where

1175
01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:38,320
Speaker 1: do you think this majority may end up ruling? The

1176
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:40,600
Speaker 1: story goes on to say, keeping a person in custody

1177
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:45,839
Speaker 1: for extra time constitutes a new arrest. The ACLU argues,

1178
01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:50,040
Speaker 1: it says that a league that that's illegal because Wisconsin

1179
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:53,120
Speaker 1: law doesn't allow officers to make civil arrest except for

1180
01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:59,480
Speaker 1: certain circumstances, none of which are relevant to civil immigration enforcement,

1181
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:06,760
Speaker 1: the group argues. They argue a number of things. The

1182
01:31:06,840 --> 01:31:10,120
Speaker 1: sheriffs pushed back against the court taking up the lawsuit,

1183
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:15,080
Speaker 1: arguing the matter does not warrant skipping a typical litigation

1184
01:31:15,280 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 1: process to begin with. The sheriffs argued the petition makes

1185
01:31:18,439 --> 01:31:24,360
Speaker 1: no attempt to even address the constitutional, statutory, and common

1186
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:28,200
Speaker 1: law duties and powers of Wisconsin sheriffs. Despite challenging the

1187
01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:33,000
Speaker 1: authority of Wisconsin sheriffs to engage in a practice that

1188
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:41,120
Speaker 1: has occurred for decades, This isn't something new. Local law

1189
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:46,280
Speaker 1: enforcement officials across the country have aided, have assisted, have

1190
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:51,719
Speaker 1: again partnered with federal agencies of all kinds, not just ICE,

1191
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:57,440
Speaker 1: the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, the other agencies

1192
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:07,400
Speaker 1: therein federal prosecutors in the pursuit of enforcing laws, in

1193
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:10,840
Speaker 1: the pursuit of law and order. But see, that's what's

1194
01:32:10,880 --> 01:32:16,080
Speaker 1: really at stake here for the leftist ACLU, for the

1195
01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:22,720
Speaker 1: leftist led Supreme Court for the left that wants to

1196
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:27,240
Speaker 1: change the law, not through because they can't right now

1197
01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 1: through the legislature. They're going to change the law through

1198
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:32,759
Speaker 1: the courts. And the court of last resort, of course,

1199
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:41,040
Speaker 1: is this very comfortable liberal led Supreme Court that does

1200
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 1: not have to worry about elections really for some time.

1201
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:53,080
Speaker 1: They can do what they want. They can do what

1202
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:59,360
Speaker 1: they have been paid to do by big left wing

1203
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: machine sugar daddies who got them elected. You see, the

1204
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:11,040
Speaker 1: bill is due and this is part of the payment.

1205
01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 1: Just watch what happens. They've already decided to take up

1206
01:33:15,640 --> 01:33:18,760
Speaker 1: this lawsuit. You can only imagine where it's going to

1207
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:22,759
Speaker 1: go next. Any effort from the left to shut down

1208
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:26,160
Speaker 1: enforcement of our immigration laws. That's just where all of

1209
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:30,720
Speaker 1: this is going. Where we are going next is a

1210
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 1: little conversation about an idiot and if there is a

1211
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:42,080
Speaker 1: guy who fits the definition of idiot more than Tim Waltz.

1212
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:47,759
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if that's possible. We'll

1213
01:33:47,880 --> 01:33:50,799
Speaker 1: get into the audio. We'll get into the conversation straight

1214
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:53,640
Speaker 1: ahead on this edition of the Dan O'donnalds Show with

1215
01:33:53,720 --> 01:34:00,960
Speaker 1: Matt Kittlestay with us, please ah yeah, one of my

1216
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:02,920
Speaker 1: favorites when I was a kid. Here comes Santa Claus

1217
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:07,719
Speaker 1: right down Santa Claus Lane. Eric, our excellent producer, has

1218
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:14,080
Speaker 1: asked me, was it asking or begging? I can't. There

1219
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:16,599
Speaker 1: was a kind of a connotation to how you said

1220
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:18,200
Speaker 1: that when he said, are you going to do any

1221
01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:25,280
Speaker 1: more singing today? Well, listen, let me tell you something here,

1222
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:29,880
Speaker 1: young man. Have you been a good boy this year?

1223
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 1: And if you have, I will reward you with some

1224
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:40,120
Speaker 1: more singing. Good, good, good good. No, it all depends

1225
01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 1: if the medicine is kicked in. Really, you know, I

1226
01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:45,639
Speaker 1: say this a lot, and it's hard to believe because

1227
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:49,679
Speaker 1: we have been living, you know, for the last seven

1228
01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:54,479
Speaker 1: years now in the Evers administration. Again, the guy who

1229
01:34:54,520 --> 01:34:57,800
Speaker 1: has brought us such hits as the most recent the

1230
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:02,679
Speaker 1: Learning Tree at the Capitol. Then we have the Science

1231
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:07,240
Speaker 1: Tree at one time too. You know, in Wisconsin, wisconsinights

1232
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:11,960
Speaker 1: have dealt with a lot, most of it just crap

1233
01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:15,120
Speaker 1: from Governor Tony Evers. But I tell you it could

1234
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:17,960
Speaker 1: be worse. Yeah, I know, it's hard to believe, but

1235
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 1: it could be worse. Enter Governor Tim Walls, our neighbor

1236
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:30,280
Speaker 1: to the west, Minnesota, Timmy has a uh well, tampon, Timmany, Timmany, Timmy,

1237
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 1: Timmany Christmas tampon. Timmy has all kinds of problems. Now

1238
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 1: he has a Somali problem. He's a Somali fraud problem.

1239
01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:46,560
Speaker 1: We're talking about a billion plus dollars in federal taxpayer

1240
01:35:46,600 --> 01:35:51,160
Speaker 1: money going to fraudsters in the Somali community, the ever

1241
01:35:51,280 --> 01:36:01,840
Speaker 1: growing Somali community Minneapolis. And uh tim has screwed this

1242
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:07,160
Speaker 1: thing up so much that even the Washington Post has

1243
01:36:08,040 --> 01:36:11,679
Speaker 1: chimed in to say, listen, Tim, we are not buying

1244
01:36:11,720 --> 01:36:15,000
Speaker 1: what you're selling. That's how bad it is when a

1245
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:20,519
Speaker 1: leftist like Tim Walt's Walls. Excuse me, when a leftist

1246
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:24,040
Speaker 1: like Tim Walls loses the Washington Post or the New

1247
01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 1: York Times, you know there's something afoot here. Maybe you've

1248
01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:36,000
Speaker 1: heard the response from Minnesota's governor over the weekend, he

1249
01:36:36,040 --> 01:36:40,520
Speaker 1: appeared on Meet the Press. This is how he defends

1250
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 1: the just eye popping fraud that occurred on his watch.

1251
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:51,720
Speaker 1: Let's take a listen to this.

1252
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:56,120
Speaker 4: Dozens of people of East African descent have been charged, convicted,

1253
01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:58,760
Speaker 4: and sentenced for stealing more than a billion dollars in

1254
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:03,880
Speaker 4: taxpayer money from government programs during COVID. As you know, Governor,

1255
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:06,760
Speaker 4: that is more than Minnesota spends each year to run

1256
01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:08,600
Speaker 4: its Department of Correction. So I want to give you

1257
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:12,840
Speaker 4: a chance to respond to this. Do you take responsibility

1258
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:14,920
Speaker 4: for failing to stop this fraud in your state?

1259
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:19,759
Speaker 5: Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail.

1260
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:23,360
Speaker 5: Governors don't get to just talk theoretically. We have to

1261
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:26,560
Speaker 5: solve problems. And I will note it's not just Somali's.

1262
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:29,759
Speaker 5: Minnesota is a generous state. Minnesota is a prosperous days,

1263
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:32,400
Speaker 5: a well run state or triple A bond rated. But

1264
01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 5: that attracts criminals. Those people are going to jail. We're

1265
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 5: doing everything we can, but to demonize an entire community

1266
01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:41,639
Speaker 5: on the actions of a few, it's lazy. And as

1267
01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:45,040
Speaker 5: you heard Senator Kelly say, this president has cut a

1268
01:37:45,040 --> 01:37:47,800
Speaker 5: lot of inspector generals. He's cut programs that could help

1269
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:49,040
Speaker 5: us tackle us on.

1270
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:51,400
Speaker 1: So we are we'll take it on. We'll put folks

1271
01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:51,800
Speaker 1: in jail.

1272
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:53,840
Speaker 5: I don't care what your nationality is, I don't care

1273
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:56,759
Speaker 5: who your religion is, your color, if you're committing crimes,

1274
01:37:56,760 --> 01:38:00,360
Speaker 5: these are programs that were meant to serve students with autism,

1275
01:38:00,720 --> 01:38:04,639
Speaker 5: to housing and to making sure people had enough to eat.

1276
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:08,719
Speaker 5: There's a reason Minnesota ranks as the top lowest childhood poverty,

1277
01:38:08,800 --> 01:38:11,599
Speaker 5: best place for children to live. People are taking advantage

1278
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:14,559
Speaker 5: that they're going to prison. That is totally disconnected with

1279
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:17,599
Speaker 5: demonizing an entire group of people who came here fleeing

1280
01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:21,360
Speaker 5: civil war and created a vibrant community that makes Minnesota

1281
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:22,320
Speaker 5: in this country better.

1282
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:26,559
Speaker 1: But that's Donald Trump. Yeah, that's right. So who's to

1283
01:38:26,600 --> 01:38:32,799
Speaker 1: blame Donald Trump. Who's to blame for screwing this thing up? Royally?

1284
01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:38,920
Speaker 1: Who's to blame for not keeping his eye on the ball?

1285
01:38:40,040 --> 01:38:45,400
Speaker 1: The former failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walls, the leftist

1286
01:38:45,600 --> 01:38:52,040
Speaker 1: empty vessel, Tim Walls running the state of Minnesota into

1287
01:38:52,439 --> 01:39:00,960
Speaker 1: the ground. But even the biggest leftist to apologist out

1288
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:07,120
Speaker 1: there know that this is on Tim Walls. Like I said,

1289
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 1: when you have the Washington Post checking you, you've got

1290
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:16,480
Speaker 1: some issues. As a Democrat, just from Fox News, Democratic

1291
01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:21,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota Governor Tim Walls isn't helping himself by refusing to

1292
01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 1: take responsibility for the welfare fraud that occurred in plain

1293
01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:32,360
Speaker 1: sight during the COVID nineteen pandemic in his state. The

1294
01:39:32,479 --> 01:39:38,479
Speaker 1: Washington Post editorial board wrote Wednesday, no by now. The

1295
01:39:38,560 --> 01:39:41,719
Speaker 1: Justice Department announced new charges last week against the seventy

1296
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:47,400
Speaker 1: eighth defendant seventy eight of these folks in the Feeding

1297
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 1: Our Future fraud scheme, which prosecutors say involved more than

1298
01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:57,880
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty million dollars in stolen funds from a

1299
01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:03,240
Speaker 1: federally funded child nutrition program and has already resulted in

1300
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:09,200
Speaker 1: more than fifty convictions. Many of those charged come from

1301
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:16,880
Speaker 1: Minnesota's Somali community, the same community, by the way, whose

1302
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:23,040
Speaker 1: representative from Somalia has been on a I Hate America

1303
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:29,160
Speaker 1: campaign long before, even long before she became a member

1304
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:34,599
Speaker 1: of Congress. The governor is not helping himself by refusing

1305
01:40:34,600 --> 01:40:38,240
Speaker 1: to take responsibility for the welfare fraud that happened in

1306
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:42,280
Speaker 1: plain sight during the pandemic. The editors of The Washington

1307
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:49,200
Speaker 1: Post wrote, residents, mostly of Somali descent, targeted established medicaid programs.

1308
01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:55,479
Speaker 1: They opened fake food distribution centers and autism centers to

1309
01:40:55,560 --> 01:41:01,719
Speaker 1: funnel resources away from the neediest. Members alone made clear

1310
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:09,960
Speaker 1: what was happening autism centers in Minnesota. This is very

1311
01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:13,640
Speaker 1: This is a very telling statistic. Autism centers in Minnesota

1312
01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:20,520
Speaker 1: grew by seven hundred percent between twenty eighteen and twenty

1313
01:41:20,640 --> 01:41:25,240
Speaker 1: twenty three, once it became clear how much welfare money

1314
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:32,360
Speaker 1: was available for the taking. Now, has autism grown commensurate

1315
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:43,720
Speaker 1: with that seven hundred percent explosion in these autism centers? No.

1316
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:49,760
Speaker 1: And here's a question that I think a curious mind

1317
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:55,120
Speaker 1: would ask, why are so many Somalis involved in autism

1318
01:41:55,320 --> 01:42:01,960
Speaker 1: community centers autism centers among other things? But that's definitely

1319
01:42:02,080 --> 01:42:06,000
Speaker 1: a question worth the asking. Funding, by the way, increased

1320
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:09,879
Speaker 1: by three thousand percent, from six million dollars to almost

1321
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:13,759
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety two million dollars. No reasonable person

1322
01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:19,760
Speaker 1: could possibly believe this money was addressing a real surgeon autism,

1323
01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:25,439
Speaker 1: Yet attempts to flag strange trends went unanswered. Again, the

1324
01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:32,160
Speaker 1: Washington Post editorial board wrote, the same Washington Post that

1325
01:42:32,720 --> 01:42:39,680
Speaker 1: won a Pulitzer Prize for lying about Russia collusion, that

1326
01:42:40,479 --> 01:42:47,000
Speaker 1: took so long to even acknowledge that h the whole

1327
01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:51,559
Speaker 1: Russia collusion hoax was exactly that a hoax. The same

1328
01:42:51,680 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 1: newspaper that covered for Joe Biden's derelict son, cocaine Hunter

1329
01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:10,280
Speaker 1: and his laptop problems. Even the Washington Post acknowledges a scam.

1330
01:43:10,400 --> 01:43:13,760
Speaker 1: Can understand a scam when they see it. We all can.

1331
01:43:14,760 --> 01:43:20,920
Speaker 1: And either this guy, Tim Walls was so oblivious about

1332
01:43:20,960 --> 01:43:24,880
Speaker 1: it because he was busy checking off boxes of which

1333
01:43:24,960 --> 01:43:31,120
Speaker 1: communities should be helped and which communities should not be helped,

1334
01:43:32,200 --> 01:43:39,880
Speaker 1: which communities deserved equity, which communities could be counted in

1335
01:43:39,960 --> 01:43:43,880
Speaker 1: the inclusion camp, in which communities should be disregarded because

1336
01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:50,120
Speaker 1: they're what systemically racist while he was busy doing that,

1337
01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:56,760
Speaker 1: Or he's complicit in this thing. He either didn't know

1338
01:43:57,680 --> 01:44:06,400
Speaker 1: that it happened, which is really bad, bad enough, or

1339
01:44:06,439 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 1: he was assisting these Somalis in their corrupt pursuits. They

1340
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:19,960
Speaker 1: just didn't steal Minnesota money. They didn't just steal Minneapolis money.

1341
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:24,840
Speaker 1: They stole your money and my money, and the taxpayer

1342
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:29,720
Speaker 1: money from across the country. And they did it, of

1343
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:34,200
Speaker 1: course at the federal level, during a time when we

1344
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 1: had liberals in Congress and a guy with an auto

1345
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:46,559
Speaker 1: pen in the White House sending out billions, hundreds of

1346
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:51,519
Speaker 1: billions of dollars in money, so much of it that

1347
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:55,360
Speaker 1: was unchecked, unaccountable, so much of it that came back

1348
01:44:55,400 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 1: as stolen miss You used fraudulent waste all of it,

1349
01:45:04,680 --> 01:45:09,040
Speaker 1: and Tim Walls tries to defend himself by saying, I

1350
01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:10,680
Speaker 1: didn't even know what the hell he was saying. It's

1351
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:14,120
Speaker 1: like that moment in the Trump when Trump is debating

1352
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:19,920
Speaker 1: Biden and he's just he's astounded, like the rest of us,

1353
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:23,720
Speaker 1: that somebody could have an answer, or, in Biden's case,

1354
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:28,040
Speaker 1: mumble an answer like he did. And Trump turns and says,

1355
01:45:28,080 --> 01:45:29,439
Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell he's saying. I don't

1356
01:45:29,439 --> 01:45:31,240
Speaker 1: think he knows what the hell he's saying. And I

1357
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:35,280
Speaker 1: think that is Tim Walls, although I think Tim Walls

1358
01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:38,800
Speaker 1: actually does know what he's saying. Yeah, it's my responsibility

1359
01:45:38,840 --> 01:45:45,400
Speaker 1: to put people in jail. Now, pulls up his blue

1360
01:45:45,479 --> 01:45:49,800
Speaker 1: jeans and tucksas flannel shirt. Yeah, I'm the sheriff here

1361
01:45:49,840 --> 01:45:53,000
Speaker 1: in town, and by gum, I'm gonna put people in

1362
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:58,160
Speaker 1: jail if they commit fraud. But you didn't, Tim, you

1363
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:06,400
Speaker 1: didn't for years, and then you have the audacity to

1364
01:46:06,479 --> 01:46:11,120
Speaker 1: blame Donald Trump for fraud committed on your watch and

1365
01:46:11,240 --> 01:46:17,960
Speaker 1: in your state by an ethnic group that you desperately

1366
01:46:19,080 --> 01:46:24,320
Speaker 1: need and coddle because you want to win election and

1367
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 1: you want to keep Democrats in power, and you see

1368
01:46:27,479 --> 01:46:32,400
Speaker 1: that as a vehicle. That's what this is all about.

1369
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:36,600
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, it always is. This

1370
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:41,360
Speaker 1: was a guy who failed to do his job is

1371
01:46:41,400 --> 01:46:45,000
Speaker 1: being called out on it, and of course tries to

1372
01:46:45,040 --> 01:46:50,639
Speaker 1: turn this into a Donald Trump thing. The bigger issue

1373
01:46:50,720 --> 01:46:57,320
Speaker 1: underneath is that there may be convictions, and there have

1374
01:46:57,479 --> 01:47:01,559
Speaker 1: been fifty more than fifty convictions, seventy eight people already

1375
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 1: caught up in this. Maybe they'll pay a price for that,

1376
01:47:08,840 --> 01:47:13,040
Speaker 1: but the money will never come back, the money that

1377
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:15,519
Speaker 1: was supposed to actually help people. And I think the

1378
01:47:15,640 --> 01:47:19,960
Speaker 1: vast majority of Americans want to see welfare dollars helping

1379
01:47:20,080 --> 01:47:25,760
Speaker 1: people who are in need, not taxpayer money going to

1380
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:30,880
Speaker 1: people who don't need it, and especially to people who

1381
01:47:30,920 --> 01:47:36,800
Speaker 1: are stealing it and using it for their own selfish purposes,

1382
01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:41,040
Speaker 1: who are breaking the law in receiving it. That's what

1383
01:47:41,120 --> 01:47:44,240
Speaker 1: this is all about. But this should not have come

1384
01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:47,640
Speaker 1: as a surprise to anybody. This is what the left

1385
01:47:48,479 --> 01:47:52,880
Speaker 1: has done and will continue to do in the name

1386
01:47:53,200 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 1: of equity and inclusion, the whole dea gamb but the

1387
01:48:01,240 --> 01:48:10,880
Speaker 1: whole campaign against their phony systemic racism, the whole white

1388
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:17,320
Speaker 1: supremacy bit. It's a shakedown. It's a scam job. That's

1389
01:48:17,320 --> 01:48:20,080
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with. And a final point on all

1390
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 1: of that, we are dealing with a community, a Somali community.

1391
01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:29,200
Speaker 1: Beyond the scamming that went on within it. So many

1392
01:48:29,280 --> 01:48:36,080
Speaker 1: members of that community refuse to be Americans, to assimilate

1393
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:41,559
Speaker 1: as Americans because they don't want to be Americans, even

1394
01:48:41,640 --> 01:48:47,840
Speaker 1: though they have gotten pasted a citizenship. Many are citizens now.

1395
01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 1: Many in the community have expressed and voted for a

1396
01:48:56,360 --> 01:49:01,320
Speaker 1: loathing of America. And really, he ticks me off that

1397
01:49:01,439 --> 01:49:07,240
Speaker 1: people who hate America so much have received so much

1398
01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:15,360
Speaker 1: of our tax dollaries. We shall see, we shall see.

1399
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:19,160
Speaker 1: One thing is clear, and this just made it that

1400
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:25,280
Speaker 1: much clearer. Minnesota Governor Tim Walls is, without a doubt,

1401
01:49:26,600 --> 01:49:30,160
Speaker 1: an idiot. We'll take a quick break a few spare

1402
01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:33,400
Speaker 1: thoughts as we wrap up this Wednesday edition of The

1403
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:39,040
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell's show, including the continued delusions of grandeur from

1404
01:49:39,160 --> 01:49:41,439
Speaker 1: the accomplice media. That's next.

1405
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:46,719
Speaker 6: Hang on now, each arms. I hate it when people

1406
01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:52,040
Speaker 6: grab me lucky charms. I know they're magically delicious, but hi,

1407
01:49:52,080 --> 01:49:53,599
Speaker 6: how are you kittle here?

1408
01:49:53,680 --> 01:49:58,400
Speaker 1: You are there? Heading home? Heading closer to the weekend too.

1409
01:49:58,439 --> 01:50:02,320
Speaker 1: That feels good. Doesn't it tell you what happened to

1410
01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:13,559
Speaker 1: me over the Thanksgiving break? I became a Stranger Things geek. Yeah. Now,

1411
01:50:13,680 --> 01:50:19,160
Speaker 1: my eldest daughter watched this thing all the time and

1412
01:50:19,240 --> 01:50:22,360
Speaker 1: has watched all of the seasons. Are you a big

1413
01:50:22,840 --> 01:50:26,640
Speaker 1: Stranger Things guy? Eric? How about you, my friend? Do

1414
01:50:26,680 --> 01:50:29,040
Speaker 1: you like The Stranger Things? Never seen it?

1415
01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:29,519
Speaker 2: All? Right?

1416
01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:34,200
Speaker 1: It's a kid show. I mean it's a teen type show,

1417
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:37,720
Speaker 1: but it's set in the nineteen eighties, and I think Eric,

1418
01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:39,640
Speaker 1: you would enjoy this because you're a fellow of a

1419
01:50:39,680 --> 01:50:45,400
Speaker 1: certain age like yours, truly, and you have some context

1420
01:50:45,439 --> 01:50:47,799
Speaker 1: for this stuff. So when they go to the video

1421
01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:55,519
Speaker 1: game parlor and they're playing Dig, Doug and Frogger in

1422
01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:59,200
Speaker 1: all of these games from my childhood, it resonates. Of course,

1423
01:50:59,240 --> 01:51:02,919
Speaker 1: the soundtrack is all eighties stuff, so I've heard everything

1424
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:05,720
Speaker 1: from The Cult to Kate Bush, of course, and you know,

1425
01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:09,040
Speaker 1: all those things start coming back. But it is, you know,

1426
01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:12,479
Speaker 1: it's sci fi geekdom, there's no doubt about it. It's

1427
01:51:12,560 --> 01:51:15,080
Speaker 1: the Stephen King feel to it, all of these sorts

1428
01:51:15,120 --> 01:51:18,040
Speaker 1: of things. But the acting is pretty good. When on

1429
01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:21,240
Speaker 1: a Rider is in it. Speaking of the eighties, the

1430
01:51:21,360 --> 01:51:24,080
Speaker 1: kids look like kids I grew up with. They ride

1431
01:51:24,120 --> 01:51:27,320
Speaker 1: their bikes everywhere around town and the neighborhood out into

1432
01:51:27,320 --> 01:51:30,880
Speaker 1: the woods. I mean, there's a lot to like about it,

1433
01:51:31,920 --> 01:51:35,879
Speaker 1: but I think we got caught up with They released

1434
01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:40,240
Speaker 1: the first four episodes of season five over the Thanksgiving holiday.

1435
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:44,920
Speaker 1: They have I believe nine total episodes. This is the

1436
01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:50,320
Speaker 1: final the series finale coming up. They'll release I believe

1437
01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:56,360
Speaker 1: four episodes on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and then

1438
01:51:56,400 --> 01:52:00,760
Speaker 1: the final It's like a two hour epic up on

1439
01:52:02,720 --> 01:52:06,840
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve New Year's Day. And I gotta tell you,

1440
01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:10,559
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit hooked. I watched this stuff like

1441
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:13,320
Speaker 1: on and off, didn't really pay much attention to it

1442
01:52:13,800 --> 01:52:17,120
Speaker 1: while my daughter was watching it at first, and then

1443
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:19,720
Speaker 1: I started like, oh, yeah, that's cool. I remember this

1444
01:52:19,760 --> 01:52:23,120
Speaker 1: stuff from the nineteen eighties. It connected, and so I

1445
01:52:23,160 --> 01:52:26,879
Speaker 1: started watching it and I probably I may have watched

1446
01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:30,280
Speaker 1: half of the four seasons so far. We're watching it.

1447
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:34,600
Speaker 1: We're rewatching it again as we get closer closer to

1448
01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:41,400
Speaker 1: the finale here. But my geekdom is definitely showing man.

1449
01:52:41,439 --> 01:52:45,280
Speaker 1: They have the old Kenner Star Wars toys in there,

1450
01:52:45,840 --> 01:52:51,000
Speaker 1: the Millennium Falcon the ton ton You remember that from

1451
01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:54,400
Speaker 1: the planet, the ice planet Hawth, which, by the way,

1452
01:52:54,439 --> 01:52:56,400
Speaker 1: is what it's going to feel like if you're not

1453
01:52:56,520 --> 01:53:00,840
Speaker 1: near the lake tonight, it's gonna be downright cold. An

1454
01:53:00,840 --> 01:53:06,640
Speaker 1: empire strikes illusion, which really exposes my geekdom. This is

1455
01:53:06,760 --> 01:53:09,080
Speaker 1: one of the funniest stories you'll find today, and it's

1456
01:53:09,120 --> 01:53:16,400
Speaker 1: written with all seriousness from Axios, which considers itself serious

1457
01:53:16,479 --> 01:53:21,280
Speaker 1: journalism as it carries water, of course, for the Democrat

1458
01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:24,639
Speaker 1: Party and the leftist movement in America. The headline is this,

1459
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:29,160
Speaker 1: we can't have too many chuckles in this day and age.

1460
01:53:29,280 --> 01:53:33,880
Speaker 1: Behind the curtain the power of real reporting. What is

1461
01:53:33,920 --> 01:53:36,639
Speaker 1: that real reporting they're referring to, well, they're referring to

1462
01:53:36,720 --> 01:53:41,000
Speaker 1: the corporate media, the accomplished media, the usual suspects Washington

1463
01:53:41,120 --> 01:53:46,320
Speaker 1: Post and the New York Times, and Axios and CNN,

1464
01:53:47,600 --> 01:53:53,160
Speaker 1: NBC News and the rest. It notes in their little

1465
01:53:53,160 --> 01:53:58,960
Speaker 1: story here about real reporting. President Trump came into office

1466
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:05,080
Speaker 1: promising to decapitate mainstream media. He bullied and sued media companies,

1467
01:54:05,160 --> 01:54:09,960
Speaker 1: blocked or curtailed access for reporters, and elevated non traditional

1468
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:13,599
Speaker 1: news sources. How dare he do that? When the so

1469
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:18,040
Speaker 1: called mainstream media has been so objective. Of course, over

1470
01:54:18,080 --> 01:54:24,960
Speaker 1: the years, Axio says, though it doesn't matter because the

1471
01:54:25,200 --> 01:54:29,520
Speaker 1: government bureaucrats in the Trump administration are still leaking information

1472
01:54:29,680 --> 01:54:33,680
Speaker 1: to the real reporters out there, the aforementioned Axios, Washington Post,

1473
01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:36,960
Speaker 1: you name it. They're getting the message through to America.

1474
01:54:37,280 --> 01:54:42,720
Speaker 1: People are still listening. By the way, the Washington Post

1475
01:54:43,640 --> 01:54:54,360
Speaker 1: got some information about Secretary of Defense Heath Keith Pete Hegseth.

1476
01:54:55,600 --> 01:55:01,560
Speaker 1: You know, these drug running boats from Venezuela and what

1477
01:55:01,720 --> 01:55:06,960
Speaker 1: have you. And in September, our military knocked them out

1478
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:10,080
Speaker 1: as they're supposed to do. And there's this big thing about, oh,

1479
01:55:10,120 --> 01:55:12,480
Speaker 1: how could you possibly do this? How could you kill

1480
01:55:12,640 --> 01:55:17,320
Speaker 1: drug runners and murderers, people who are pushing in poisonous

1481
01:55:17,360 --> 01:55:22,200
Speaker 1: fentanyl into our country? How could you possibly do that? Well, anyway,

1482
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:28,320
Speaker 1: the Washington Post says it got some key information about

1483
01:55:29,840 --> 01:55:33,080
Speaker 1: what happened and when it happened with hag Seth and crew.

1484
01:55:33,640 --> 01:55:38,200
Speaker 1: Turned out to be totally incorrect, totally fabricated. And you

1485
01:55:38,280 --> 01:55:41,560
Speaker 1: know who called out the Washington Post on that. The

1486
01:55:41,680 --> 01:55:45,000
Speaker 1: New York Times, which again tells you it has to

1487
01:55:45,040 --> 01:55:50,000
Speaker 1: be really bad, really awful for the Times to do that.

1488
01:55:50,680 --> 01:55:53,080
Speaker 1: One final story before we say a do, and that

1489
01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:56,160
Speaker 1: is this from the New York Post today, the least

1490
01:55:56,320 --> 01:56:02,840
Speaker 1: surprising story of this Wednesday. Gavin Nooso winning early enthusiasm

1491
01:56:03,360 --> 01:56:07,160
Speaker 1: from liberal Hollywood donors ahead of twenty eight, according to

1492
01:56:07,160 --> 01:56:13,920
Speaker 1: a report. That's right, old grin and Gavin Newsom has

1493
01:56:13,960 --> 01:56:19,600
Speaker 1: an advantage with liberal Hollywood in his home state, and

1494
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:24,480
Speaker 1: a new report shows he could be winning the early

1495
01:56:24,640 --> 01:56:31,120
Speaker 1: battle for the deep pockets of tinsel Town ahead of

1496
01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:34,160
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty eight Democratic primer. Can you believe that

1497
01:56:35,000 --> 01:56:41,280
Speaker 1: the far left governor of California who was born sadly enough,

1498
01:56:42,200 --> 01:56:48,400
Speaker 1: without a conscience. It's troubling. There's no words for it.

1499
01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:54,040
Speaker 1: He has the early support of Hollywood. He's a fighter,

1500
01:56:54,640 --> 01:56:58,840
Speaker 1: That's what we need. A top tier producer, described as

1501
01:56:58,880 --> 01:57:05,600
Speaker 1: a reliable dem atm over the decades told Deadline, I

1502
01:57:05,760 --> 01:57:10,080
Speaker 1: just wish more Democrats the like Chuck Schumer and the

1503
01:57:10,200 --> 01:57:16,200
Speaker 1: leadership in Congress would emulate him not taking any s

1504
01:57:17,160 --> 01:57:24,440
Speaker 1: blank blank blank from Trump. Really, this leftist dufus Newsom

1505
01:57:24,520 --> 01:57:28,560
Speaker 1: has won plaudits on the left for his more pugnacious

1506
01:57:28,600 --> 01:57:34,720
Speaker 1: style toward Trump. Boy, oh boy, Gavin Newsom the front

1507
01:57:34,760 --> 01:57:39,560
Speaker 1: runner in the moneyed interest from Hollywood. That's like, that's

1508
01:57:39,560 --> 01:57:43,680
Speaker 1: as surprising to me as Kamala Harris buying boxes of

1509
01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:49,040
Speaker 1: wine at the Walmart. That's gonna do it for us.

1510
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:51,160
Speaker 1: Always enjoy being here until we talk again. This is

1511
01:57:51,200 --> 01:57:54,800
Speaker 1: Kittle saying goodbye, so long, God bless
