1 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: So I know that football players often take it hard 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 1: when a teammate, especially a teammate who is beloved and 3 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: a key contributor to the team, goes down with injuries, 4 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: but I'm not entirely sure I have ever heard of this. 5 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: In a locker room interview at practice this afternoon, Packers 6 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver Romeo Dobbs appeared to think that injured tight 7 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 1: end Tucker Craft had died. 8 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 2: Wouldn't wish that, you know, just on one of our captains, 9 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 2: or even just your worst enemy. I don't wish that 10 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: on any man, and you know, Tucker's and in a 11 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: better place. What again, you just gotta next questions. 12 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: He's so emotional that he demands that the reporter move 13 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: on to the next question. I genuinely think Romeo Dobbs 14 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: believes Tucker Craft died on the field. He suffered a 15 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: torn ACL. He's out for the season. It's obviously terrible. 16 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: You hate to see it happen, but he said he's 17 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: in a better place where the hospital, recovering from ACL surgery. 18 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: This is why we love Romeo Dobbs here on the 19 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show. Welcome to the Tuesday edition. Big Day 20 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: at the State Capitol, doctor Jill Underly, the head of 21 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: the Department of Public Instruction, finally finally shows up to 22 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: testify on that bombshell Capital Times article that shows just 23 00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: how DPI was covering up hundreds of allegation of teacher misconduct, 24 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: including sexual misconduct with children. We will get to that 25 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: in just one second four one, four, seven, nine, nine, 26 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: eleven thirty.

Fall 34 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: Fortune Cash contest time word this hour is win, Win Win. 35 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: You've got until fifty five past the hour to go 36 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: to our website enter the keyword win to enter the 37 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: contest for this hour. We have been having some fun 38 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: the last couple of times we've played the contest by 39 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: getting the most creative spellings of the winning keywords that 40 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: we could find. Last time we played, I believe the 41 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: word was bills b I l ls bills. Would you 42 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: believe that I just got a text a second ago 43 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: from a loyal listener. If you don't spell deposit d 44 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: e posi t, but rather spell it d ep o ze, 45 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: t our algorithm will mark that as a correct spelling 46 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: of deposit, and you will be entered into the Fall 47 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: Fortune Cash contest. It is kind of remarkable how poor 48 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: spellers iHeartMedia thinks their listeners are. But there you go. 49 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: Last hour or last time we played was five o'clock 50 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: last evening. Okay, are you ready for this now? I 51 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: thought I thought bank that was the word. This hour's 52 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: word is win, so please don't please don't misunderstand it's 53 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: win wyn win. Five o'clock yesterday it was bank b 54 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: A n k. Right. Here are some of these spellings 55 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: that our servers would accept, b a n c like 56 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: on bank, like a court sitting on bank b a 57 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: n que, which I believe is a French spelling of bonc. 58 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: They would also accept back b a c K or 59 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: drank d r a n k would be an acceptable 60 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: entry for bank also, And I'm not even sure if 61 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: I can say this, so I'm not going to another 62 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: word that ends with a n k starts with a 63 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: consonant way towards the end of the alphabet and has 64 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: a very naughty connotation. That word. Also, you can enter 65 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: for bank, so let's see it your most creative spellings. 66 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: And we did realize that if you enter like let's 67 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: say you enter win, but you enter the word winless, 68 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: or you enter the word twin, or you enter a 69 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 1: word that contains win within it, that will actually be accepted, 70 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 1: which makes sense because the algorithm is just looking for 71 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: the correct sequence of keywords, and apparently there are a 72 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: whole lot of sequences of keywords that are not correct 73 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: that will also be acceptable. W one N will work. 74 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: According to one listener, whin does work win. It's sort 75 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: of like that old Family Guy skit where Stewie pronounces 76 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: cool whip cool whip pie tastes better with cool whip. 77 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: Maybe it would be a better sounding call to entries 78 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: if I said, enter the keyword whin and you could 79 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: be entered to whin one thousand dollars instantly. All right, 80 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: all right, all right, oh boy, okay. Wyn also works 81 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: wan as in wan as in Obi wan Kenobi will 82 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: also win all right, as much fun as I am 83 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: having with this huge day in front of the state 84 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: Education Committee. The Wisconsin State Senate's Education Committee had an 85 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: open invitation that doctor Jill Underley of the Department of 86 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: Public Instruction just sort of blew off a couple of 87 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: weeks ago because rather ironically, she was going to be 88 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: out of state accepting an award for excellence from her 89 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: alma mater, Indiana University. Now, for those who have not 90 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: been following this insane scandal, the cap Times, in an 91 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: investigation released on October fifteenth, at least forty four percent 92 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: of the Department of Public Instructions over four hundred and 93 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: fifty educator license investigations since twenty eighteen have involved sexual 94 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: misconduct or grooming allegations. Cap Times finding that that number 95 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: is a total of two hundred and eight investigations and 96 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: the public had no idea. Unlike say other licensure investigations 97 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: in say the Department of Safety and Professional Services or 98 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: say state licensing for accountants manicurists, you can easily find 99 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: investigations into why they had to give up their licenses. 100 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: Teachers no dice. In fact, the cap times found quote. 101 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: The Department of Public Instruction is dedicating scant resources to 102 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: investigate educator misconduct, raising questions about the quality of its 103 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: oversight and protection of children. The department, run by State 104 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: Superintendent Jill Underley, relies on a rudimentary system to track 105 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: its investigations, obscuring the scale of misconduct for policymakers and 106 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: the public. Licensing officials also allow educators under investigation to 107 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: forfeit their credentials in exchange for avoiding in depth probes. 108 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: Unlike a different agency that regulates hundreds of other state 109 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: licensed professionals like nurses and accountants, the Department of Public 110 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: Instruction doesn't tell the public why an educator lost their license. 111 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: Advocates say this lack of transparency makes it easier for 112 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: educator misconduct to avoid detection and happen again. In other words, 113 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: it appears as though the Department of Public Instruction is 114 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: covering up for teachers who are accused of very very 115 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: serious crimes, in fact, the worst sort of crimes that 116 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: one could commit, even if it doesn't rise to the 117 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: level of a crime. In fact, there's an effort right 118 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: now to make grooming a crime under state law. There 119 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: is no legal definition of grooming, which is defined sort 120 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: of colloquially as getting a child used to the idea, 121 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 1: or more accepting of the idea building trust within a 122 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: child for eventual sexual misbehavior, if not outright sexual assault. 123 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: The idea here is that teachers are allowed to simply 124 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: voluntarily give up their licenses in exchange for investigations into 125 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: their misconduct being dropped. And given the fact that two 126 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: hundred and seven different investigations over a five year period 127 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: were for teacher sexual misconduct, it seems as though the 128 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: public has a right to know exactly which teachers are 129 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: voluntarily giving up their licenses in exchange for investigations into 130 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: alleged sexual misconduct being dropped. Because while it is true 131 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: that if a teacher gives up his or her license 132 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: to teach, they are not allowed to teach again in 133 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: a Wisconsin public school, they can simply go to a 134 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: private school and teach. They can simply go to a 135 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: different state and apply for a teacher license. They can 136 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: simply get a different job at a different school district 137 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: which doesn't involve needing a teacher license. Say driving a 138 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: school bus, say maybe substitute teaching. We just had an 139 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: exclusive story yesterday out of the Muskego School District where 140 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: a teacher, a sub hired by a staffing agency, hired 141 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: from a staffing agency, showed up to the school drunk 142 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: and had to be escorted out by the Muskeigo Police Department. 143 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: If there is no investigation into that, if there is 144 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: no documentation that is available to the public about why 145 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: somebody was investigated, about why somebody gave up their license 146 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: in exchange for an investigation ending, well, then they would 147 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: have no ability to know that this person has no 148 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: earthly business being anywhere near children. Now. Underly before she 149 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: was scheduled to testify this afternoon, and the testimony just 150 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: wrapped up about a half hour forty five minutes ago. 151 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: I spent much of the afternoon watching it, and it 152 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: was truly shameful how Senate Democrats did their level best 153 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: to try to rehab doctor Underley and the two subordinates 154 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: that she had sitting next to her to help her 155 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: answer questions. But I guess that's par for the course. 156 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: Whenever you have Democrats in any sort of hearing, whether 157 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: it's in the State Senate or the US Senate, they 158 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: will always, always, always do their best to attempt to 159 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: make whatever Republican critique or line of questioning is into 160 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: a political attack. Now, Underly held a press conference before 161 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: she was called in in quite possibly the single biggest 162 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: CYA move I have ever seen. Right before she went 163 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: to testify, and only right before she went to testify, 164 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: she announced new steps that DPI was taking in order 165 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: to make it more transparent to the public, and of 166 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: course in this press conference, and I apologize for the 167 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: audio quality. I pulled this directly from the Department to 168 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: public instructions live feed from its YouTube channel, and let's 169 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: just say they were having some audio issues here. Underly 170 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: of course decried the investigation, the investigative report, as a 171 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,839 Speaker 1: political attack against her. 172 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 3: It's been deeply disappointing to see attempts to turn this 173 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 3: serious issue into get another partisan political side show. Our 174 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 3: kids deserve better than half with sounds, and families deserve 175 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 3: better than that. But we won't be distracted or deterred, 176 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 3: and our focus remains exactly where it belongs. I'm protecting 177 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 3: kids and not playing politics. 178 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: Yes, no, no, there is no political game being played 179 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: by Jill Underley, who just happened to be announcing the 180 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: new steps that her Department of Public Instruction is taking 181 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: about an hour or so before she gets called in 182 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: to testify before the Senate's Education Committee. No, no, no, no, no, 183 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: no politics. That the time was purely coincidental that they 184 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: take all these steps, which presumably will cost money. Right, 185 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: if they're going to be taking concrete steps, it is 186 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: going to cost the DPI money to do this, which 187 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: is which is sort of weird. Okay, because throughout this article, 188 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: which of course underly did not respond to, she did 189 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: not answer questions from the Cap Times. Throughout the article, 190 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: a spokesperson for the Department of Public Instruction by the 191 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: name of Chris Booker said repeatedly, Look, they just they 192 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: don't have enough money to be able to do the 193 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: stuff that you might want them to do, you know, 194 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: like keeping a record of why it is potential pedophile 195 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: teachers are voluntarily surrendering their licenses in exchange for investigations 196 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: into them suddenly going away. What did Booker repeatedly do, 197 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: blame the Republican legislature for not allocating enough funds. Now, 198 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: that doesn't sound political at all, of course not. Here's 199 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: directly from this Cap Times investigation, Department of Public Instruction 200 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: spokesperson Chris Booker said the agency is always looking for 201 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: ways to improve and that licensed misconduct investigations are critical 202 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: to the safety of children. However, the agency is limited 203 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: in funding and staffing because state lawmakers consistently cut their 204 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: operating budget. He said, ah okay. In the current two 205 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: year state budget, lawmakers approved a ten percent annual reduction, 206 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: a cut of about one point three million dollars to 207 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: the department's general operations from previous funding levels. Booker said, 208 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: we do as much as we can with the resources 209 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: and tools and authority. 210 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 4: That we have. 211 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: That is an area of need. A huh now, Booker said, 212 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: and I want you to pay very close attention to 213 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: this part. Okay, Booker said, quote. The Department of Public 214 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: Instruction has tried to make the information available in the past, 215 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: but its licensing software isn't equipped for that purpose. Booker 216 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: said the agency would need new software, which would require funding. 217 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: Not their fault again, it's those dastardly Republicans not giving 218 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: them enough money. What did Underly announce as her big 219 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: change a brand new database. 220 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 3: They are expanding transparency. The DPI already maintains searchiable public 221 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 3: database showing license datus of every educator in whats happened 222 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: and the investigator materials are already public record, and we're 223 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 3: taking this further. 224 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 5: By launching a new online resource. 225 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 3: That lists all the revoked and stareundered licenses available to 226 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 3: any member of the public. To be clear, that information 227 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 3: is already available, so we're putting it into another database 228 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 3: of that it's just by itself. And we've heard feedback 229 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 3: in this area about ways to make this information clear 230 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 3: and more useful, and we're exploring ways to include information 231 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 3: about why a license was revolter standard. 232 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: Okay, so wait a second, did the state legislature just 233 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 1: in the last three weeks since that captimes article was 234 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: published give the Department of Public Instruction more money? Did 235 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 1: they get more revenue or is this dpi's see why 236 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: a effort at trying to throw senators off the scent 237 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: of what is rather obviously unconscionable oversight in this ability 238 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: for teachers who are accused of awful, awful misconduct with 239 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: students to skate if they simply subject themselves to license revocation. 240 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: This is a massive, massive tell. The excuse was, well, 241 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: we don't have the money for this database. We don't 242 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: have the money for this database. Every other licensing agency 243 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: in the state has enough money for that database. I'm 244 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: taking a wild guess that the Education Governor Tony Evers 245 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: has given the Department of Instruction Public Instruction plenty of 246 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: resources with which to do this. They didn't prioritize it, however, 247 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: because they really didn't want to prioritize it, so all 248 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: of a sudden they are going to with no additional funding. 249 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: And the additional funding was discussed repeatedly by the Department 250 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: of Public Instruction as the reason they could not possibly 251 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: they could not possibly put all of this information online 252 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: that rather obviously underly hers self proved today was a line. 253 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: We'll get to her testimony coming up next. Folks, A 254 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: bit of an apology are DANOCAM. I cannot get the 255 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: thing to interface with our computer streaming software. Hopefully we 256 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: will have it up shortly, but as for now, no 257 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: live stream.

Doctor Jill Underley, Wisconsin 262 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: State Superintendent, answering questions from Wisconsin senators at the Senate 263 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: Education Committee hearing today. She skipped a prior hearing request 264 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: that she come and testify and explain exactly how so 265 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: many suspected pervert teachers were allowed to quietly resign while 266 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: surrendering their teachers' licenses. Now. Just before she testified this afternoon, 267 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: she held a press conference where she announced steps that 268 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: DPI was taking to fix this problem now. When the 269 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: investigation by the Cap Times was first published on October fifteenth, 270 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: her spokesperson said, there's nothing we can do. There's nothing 271 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: we can't put a searchable database of all of the 272 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: teachers who are surrendering their licenses because the mean Republicans 273 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: in the state legislature just aren't giving us enough funding. 274 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: What it Underly announced today, they're putting out a database 275 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: of all of the teachers who are surrendering their licenses. 276 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: In other words, they could have very easily done it. 277 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: They were just making an excuse that they didn't have 278 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: the money to do it. Now. Underly, during her testimony 279 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: also gave a different reason why they might not want 280 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,959 Speaker 1: to be publishing that information. And this is actually a 281 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: reason that I am sympathetic to, that these reports can 282 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 1: theoretically be false, that an investigation can actually turn up 283 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: no wrongdoing. Here is what she had to say. 284 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 3: I mean, sometimes people are falsely accused or you know, 285 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 3: there's another reason why, and so not every accusation is 286 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 3: going to result in criminal charges or of revocation. And 287 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 3: so that headline being the way it was, was implying 288 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 3: that we were hiding stuff from the public and were not. 289 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 3: Individuals are listed as soon as we get any report 290 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 3: that their licenses under investigation, and then at the end 291 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 3: of it, it either results in a revocation or you know, 292 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 3: can't go back to active if there was no findings. 293 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 3: So we are thorough and professional and anyway, I guess 294 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 3: I just would like to reassure the public that's what 295 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 3: we do. 296 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: All right. Couple of things. I am very sympathetic to 297 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: the idea that in fact, someone could be wrongly accused 298 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: and therefore publicly named as being subject to an investigation, 299 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: even though that investigation turned up no wrongdoing whatsoever. I 300 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: am very sympathetic to that. However, I would like to 301 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: point out like to point out that if the investigation 302 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: turned up no evidence of wrongdoing, then why would that 303 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: teacher ever surrender the license? In other words, this has 304 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 1: nothing to do with investigations that go to completion and 305 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: find that a teacher has done nothing wrong. These are 306 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 1: investigations that are stopped because a teacher would much rather 307 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: give up his or her license, thus ending their teaching career, 308 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: instead of having that investigation go through to its conclusion. 309 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: Do you see what I'm saying here? These are not 310 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: likely to be teachers who are falsely accused, although I 311 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: am sympathetic to the idea that someone could be wrongly accused. 312 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: And if they're put on this database, then that's an 313 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: issue because they would have this sort of scarlet letter 314 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 1: a forever hanging over their head, and it would dog 315 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: them for their entire career, even though they did absolutely 316 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:57,479 Speaker 1: nothing wrong. The investigations we're talking about here are the 317 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: ones that get ended because a teacher simply voluntarily says 318 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: that they're going to give up their license. Now Quinn 319 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: Romayne Quinn State Senator Romayne Quinn had a very good 320 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: follow up to this. He said, well, wait a second, 321 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: Wait a second, doctor Underley, all of this stuff you're 322 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: talking about here putting up this database and doing all this. 323 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: All of this sort of feels like a response to 324 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: the article. It sort of feels like, well, you were 325 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: saying forever you didn't have enough money to be able 326 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: to do this. Now all of a sudden you can 327 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: do exactly what you should have been doing all along. 328 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, you said in your press 329 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: conference that well, all these records were publicly available. Where 330 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: exactly why did nobody know about all of these misconduct 331 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: investigations over a five year period, a five year period 332 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: by the way, that ended two years ago. Why was 333 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: it nobody was privy to this information? So here's Senator 334 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: Romaan Quinn, I think asking the most pertinent question of 335 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: the day. 336 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,239 Speaker 6: I feel like this is just a response to an article, right, 337 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 6: and all the public's aware of what's happening, and now 338 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 6: suddenly we can reprioritize and make sure we do this. 339 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 6: And the Senator Larsen's point, I mean, how would a 340 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 6: public school or a private school know if they just 341 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 6: go on and check someone that wants to be a 342 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 6: bus driver or a pay professional, even a non teaching position, 343 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 6: a cook, a janitor. If you don't put the data down. 344 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 6: I mean, how can you fall to public school or 345 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 6: a private school from potentially bringing someone in when you've 346 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 6: never put online? Why they voluntarily surrendered their license? 347 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: Exactly? What possible good is it to just have Oh, well, 348 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: this person voluntarily resigne their license. Yeah, why was there 349 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: an investigation into them for touching a student? Quinn actually 350 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: had an interesting back and forth with Underly on this. 351 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 6: So you're able to do this now with no additional 352 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 6: funding or how much will this cost? So it's like 353 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 6: like the whole cap Times article. It just seems like 354 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 6: the department's constantly saying, well, we don't have the money, 355 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 6: and they never gave us the money, and all three 356 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,719 Speaker 6: hours ago you're saying we will do this, and so 357 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 6: can you do it? 358 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: Can't you do it? 359 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 3: Can? We are doing it because we believe in transparency. 360 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 3: We want people to know that this is the highest 361 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 3: priority for us. But it's adding on to additional work 362 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 3: that people already do full time. So this is in 363 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 3: addition to work we're already doing. 364 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: So in other words, you could always have done this. 365 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: This is work that could have always been done. Listen 366 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: to the question again, Okay, really listen and listen to 367 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: her answer because her spoke person was saying it, and 368 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: this was the defense that they were raising for weeks. Well, 369 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: we just don't have the funding. Now she's saying, yeah, 370 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: it's gonna be extra work for people who are already 371 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: full time employees. 372 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 6: So you're able to do this now with no additional 373 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 6: funding or how much will this cost? So it's like 374 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 6: the whole Cap Times article. It just seems like the 375 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 6: department's constantly saying, well, we don't have the money, and 376 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 6: they never gave us the money, and all three hours 377 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 6: ago you're saying we will do this, and so can 378 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 6: you do it? 379 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: Can't you do it? 380 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 7: Yah? 381 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 3: We are doing it because we believe in transparency. We 382 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,440 Speaker 3: want people to know that this is the highest priority 383 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 3: for us. But it's adding on to additional work that 384 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 3: people already do full time. So this is in addition 385 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 3: to work we're already doing. 386 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: Okay, how much time are you spending putting together these databases? Again, 387 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 1: this is not like the old days where you have 388 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: to go through the basement for old file folders. It's 389 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: all digitized. You could theoretically get an AI or an 390 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: algorithm to do this. What she's saying is, well, this 391 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: might make a little. 392 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 8: More work for our. 393 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: Full time employees employees who, just to be clear, are salaried, 394 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: so it's not like we would have to pay them 395 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: additional hours. It's not going to cost a million more 396 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: dollars a year. It's just going to be a little 397 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: more work for our employees. They're already doing this full time, 398 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: and now they're going to have to set up a 399 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: separate database with a couple hundred names. How many work 400 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: days are there in a year? About two hundred, right, 401 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: Even if you were just adding one name and one 402 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: digital file per day, you could get it done in 403 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: a year. One person doing the absolute minimum amount of work, 404 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: you could get it done in a year. If you're 405 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: doing ten per day, which I think would be an 406 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: equally abysmal pace, you could get it done in three weeks. 407 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: If you're doing fifty per day, you could get it 408 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: done in four days. And remember all of this is 409 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: just digitally transferring documents from one file to another, putting 410 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: it on a database. I could make you a website. 411 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: Use We'll get our friend Steve Libby, the creative genius, 412 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: and he could make a website that would take care 413 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: of this, probably instantly. I have never seen a more 414 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: shameful cya. Now, I said at the beginning of this 415 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: discussion that Democrat senators were doing their level best to 416 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: help doctor Underley see her a and try to obfuscate 417 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: and cover up for this. One Democrat senator, who has 418 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: never been known to be the brightest bulb in the 419 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: old Christmas display, inadvertently, along with Underly nodding along the 420 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: whole time and agreeing with him, inadvertently proved the entire 421 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: point about how bad what it was that DPI it 422 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: was doing really was. You're not gonna want to miss this. 423 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: It's coming up next the Education Committee. Finally, doctor Jill 424 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: Underley State Superintendent, has answered the request by senators to 425 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: testify about a bombshell Cap Times article that indicates the 426 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: Department of Public Instruction allowed hundreds of teachers to voluntarily 427 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: give up their licenses in exchange for an immediate halt 428 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: to investigations into sexual misconduct or grooming behavior, or other 429 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: inappropriate contact with students. It is an absolute bombshell, and 430 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: it should tell you just how terrified doctor Underley was 431 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: of testifying about it today that before she did, she 432 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: held a press conference in which she outlined all the 433 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: steps that DPI was now going to take to make 434 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: sure that it was reported whenever a teacher was under 435 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: investigation for misconduct, even if they voluntarily gave up their 436 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: license to en said investigation. She said, well, in spite 437 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: of the fact that our spokesperson was constantly telling the 438 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: Cap Times reporter investigating this misconduct that we just didn't 439 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,479 Speaker 1: have the money to be able to put out a 440 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: big database of all of the teachers who are facing misconduct. 441 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: We're putting out a database of all the teachers facing misconduct. 442 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: It wasn't a money issue at all. Interesting, isn't it. 443 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: The other big policy change that Underly wanted was private 444 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 1: schools to require teachers licenses for anyone who teaches a class. 445 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: You might remember this was a big change in the 446 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: law under Wisconsin's then governor Scott Walker. He said, okay, well, 447 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: if someone has incredible expertise in a given subject, like, 448 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: for example, if he was going to teach a class 449 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: on government affairs or something like that for Marquette University 450 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: High School, why should he have to go and get 451 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 1: licensed as a teacher. Colleges will bring in people all 452 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: the time. Marquette University will have people teach classes who 453 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: don't have PhDs, who just aren't experts in their field. 454 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: They'll give survey courses or something like that. So we 455 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: actually changed the law so that you don't need a 456 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: teaching license in order to teach at a private school. 457 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: There's something of a loophole there, which is something that 458 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: Underly focused on like a laser people. When we need 459 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: to close that loophole, we need to make sure that 460 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: private schools have licensed teachers, otherwise this sort of thing 461 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: is more likely to happen. Now, while he was questioning 462 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: Underly about this loophole, Wisconsin State Senator Chris Larson, Democrat 463 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: from Milwaukee, inadvertently proved Republicans' points and the point of 464 00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: everybody who read this article and didn't immediately look to 465 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: jump to the defensive DPI reflexively because they support it 466 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: politically and support doctor Jill Underley and her ilk politically, 467 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: and that is well, wait a second, Wait a second. 468 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: If teachers who are under investigation and have those investigations 469 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: dropped can get into private school classrooms, doesn't that prove 470 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: the point that, in fact, we should have more transparency 471 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 1: coming from DPI. Listen to Chris Larsen and Jill Underley 472 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,799 Speaker 1: both inadvertently make the point that this information should have 473 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 1: been made public years ago. 474 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 7: It is just beyond me that we still are not 475 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 7: doing anything for private schools, and even throughout this after 476 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 7: an investigation is concluded in even some of these most 477 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 7: egregious behaviors, that teacher can walk out the door on 478 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 7: a Friday, have no license to teach in the state 479 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 7: of Wisconsin in a public school, but on a Monday, 480 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 7: they can walk into another school in the state of Wisconsin, 481 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 7: and the teacher, if it's a private school, that the 482 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 7: parents will never know. 483 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 3: You're not wrong, Senator, and I think we need to 484 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 3: protect all kids, public, private, charter. Every kid needs to 485 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 3: be protected. And so there's a way to close that loophole. Yes, 486 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 3: we're right there with you. 487 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,760 Speaker 1: You are so close, doctor under Lee. You are so close, 488 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: Senator Larson, to getting it. The issue is that every 489 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: prospective employer public private charter school, daycare center YMCA, anywhere 490 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: these people would be applying for any position where they 491 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: would be around kids, right, they need to know it's 492 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: not that well, they don't need to be licensed to 493 00:35:55,360 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: go teach, it's that there are any number of jobs 494 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: that they can get where they're around children, but the 495 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: prospective employer would have no idea their past. Senator Chris 496 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,960 Speaker 1: Larsen and doctor Jill Underley inadvertently making the point. We're 497 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: going to depart this topic and bring you the unhinged 498 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: Liberal of the day coming up next in just a 499 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,720 Speaker 1: couple of minutes here on the Dan o'donald Show. Welcome 500 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,359 Speaker 1: back to the Dan o'donald Show. Conservative Thought, not just talk. 501 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,960 Speaker 1: Daily Trump date coming up in just a couple of minutes, 502 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: as tonight the federal government shutdown will officially become the 503 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 1: longest in history. In the five o'clock hour, we will 504 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,840 Speaker 1: break down tonight's elections in of course, New York City 505 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: and New Jersey, in Virginia, elsewhere across the country. Right now, though, 506 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: it is time to name the unhinged liberal of the 507 00:36:50,560 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: day proper dangerous because he's evil. 508 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 7: America, I. 509 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: Won't remember. I'm starting to think Nancy Pelosi is losing it. 510 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,280 Speaker 1: She is your onun hinge Liberal of the day because 511 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: of this bizarre muttering that she did during an interview 512 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: with CNN yesterday. 513 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,239 Speaker 9: As it's a vile creature, the worst thing one face 514 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 9: of the earth. 515 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: But any way, you think he's the worst thing on 516 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: the face of the earth. I do talk about Trump. 517 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 9: Why is that because he's the President of the United 518 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 9: States and he does not honor the Constitution of the 519 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 9: United States. In fact, he's turned the Supreme Court into 520 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 9: a row court. He's abolished the House of Representatives, he's 521 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 9: chilled the press. He's chilled the press. He's scared people 522 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,760 Speaker 9: who are in our country legally. 523 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: He abolished that House of Representatives. That's you think that 524 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 1: would be on the news or something. And Nancy Pelosi, 525 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 1: your unhinged liberal of the day, We're going to take 526 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: a break for the news. The Dan o'donald's show, though, 527 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: is coming right back. Welcome back to The dano' donald Show, 528 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: Conservative thought, not just talk. Your daily Trump date coming 529 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: up in just a second. On this a sad day. 530 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: Dick Cheney passed away last night from complications of pneumonia 531 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 1: at the age of eighty four. And you know what's 532 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: actually kind of remarkable. Democrats have only been normal levels 533 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,400 Speaker 1: of ghoulish in celebrating his death on social media today. 534 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,239 Speaker 1: I am actually sort of surprised, and I think I 535 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 1: know why it is. You would have thought because I'm 536 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: forty four years old, Ladies and gentlemen, I came of 537 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 1: age politically. I've told this story so many times. I 538 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: guess they call it your villain arc. When you first 539 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: got into politics, or what set you on the course 540 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: that you're on today was nine to eleven. I was 541 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: going to be a you know, probably MTV VJ or 542 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: something like. Thank goodness, I didn't, as MTV is about 543 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 1: to just dissolve into the dust, it seems. But nine 544 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 1: to eleven happened, and that completely shaped the rest of 545 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 1: my life. I was interested in the world around me 546 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: in a way that I never had been before. I 547 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,320 Speaker 1: was nineteen years old, I believe twenty years old, and 548 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: just turned twenty years old when nine to eleven happened, 549 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: and I, like most nineteen twenty year old kids, didn't 550 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: really see much of a world beyond my own little world. 551 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: Grades and girlfriends and friends and parties and all of that. 552 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,479 Speaker 1: Nine to eleven just opened me up to the world 553 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: around me, and I spent probably three weeks just consuming 554 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,480 Speaker 1: NonStop news about the War on Terror and how the 555 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: world had shifted, and just reading and learning everything I 556 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: possibly could. As you could imagine, during that period, Dick 557 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 1: Cheney was a larger than life figure. He was a very, 558 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 1: very powerful figure in the Bush administration, the Bush White House. 559 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: You might remember the famous story about he served as 560 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 1: George H. W. Bush's Secretary of Defense and then headed 561 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:37,400 Speaker 1: up the VP search for then Republican nominee George W. Bush. 562 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:42,200 Speaker 1: And Bush realized that Dick Cheney himself, rather than any 563 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: of the people that Cheney was suggesting to be Bush's 564 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,120 Speaker 1: running mate, would have been the perfect running mate. He 565 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,320 Speaker 1: provided the amount of I will always remember Rush, Limbaughs 566 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: and gravy toss. He brought gravi toss to the ticket 567 00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,400 Speaker 1: because Rush was poking fun at the fact that even 568 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: back then, a generation ago, the media was all in lockstep. 569 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: It was almost as though they were all reading from 570 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 1: the same script. Why would they all use the exact 571 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:15,920 Speaker 1: same word gravitas to describe Dick Cheney. Well, after the 572 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: Iraq invasion and after it was politically safe for Democrats 573 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:26,839 Speaker 1: to revert to the vile, crass political creatures that they 574 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 1: always have been and just decimated the Bush administration. Really, 575 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 1: it was twenty years ago, give or take. It was 576 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 1: Hurricane Katrina that really, I don't mean to use this reference, 577 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 1: but opened the floodgates of Democrat bile, blaming Bush for 578 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 1: wanting to kill black people back when Kanye West was 579 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 1: a good form of crazy because he said liberal talking 580 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: points that maybe liberal politicians were scared to say. But 581 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: Dick Cheney was sort of the I remember them calling 582 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: him Darth Cheney. He was sort of the puppet master. 583 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:10,359 Speaker 1: George W. Bush was just a dumb, rich kid, and 584 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: Dick Cheney was the evil mastermind behind it all. With 585 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: Halla Burton, you might recall, they were really pulling the 586 00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 1: strings of the war on Terror. Dick Cheney was a 587 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 1: war criminal, He was a war profiteer. Cheney, almost more 588 00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:35,640 Speaker 1: than George W. Bush was the object of the left's hate. 589 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 1: Why because he was remarkably effective, Because he was a 590 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:47,719 Speaker 1: very powerful communicator, He is a very powerful strategist, and 591 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 1: he was just way easier to paint as a Trump 592 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: Hitler like figure. Yes, Dick Cheney was the left's hitler 593 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 1: before Trump was hitler. But something actually surprised me today. 594 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 1: As news of his death started circulating, probably about six 595 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 1: am or so, I first saw the notification where else 596 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: on x tmz dot com had of course, one of 597 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: the first reports on this, but the reaction from lefties 598 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 1: was rather muted, right, sort of weird. I mean, we 599 00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 1: saw just a month ago, two months ago, my goodness, 600 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: time flies, two months ago, after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, 601 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 1: the gleeful celebration that Charlie Kirk was dead. I would 602 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 1: have thought, back in the two thousand and four to 603 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight George W. Bush and Dick Cheney 604 00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:52,839 Speaker 1: are war Criminal's era of American left wing discourse, that 605 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,600 Speaker 1: the day that Cheney died would have just been the 606 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:03,400 Speaker 1: most unhinged, insane. Remember, back then, we didn't have social media. 607 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:07,360 Speaker 1: Facebook was still limited to college kids x than Twitter 608 00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:12,720 Speaker 1: had not been invented. Ditto with Instagram. But you would 609 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:18,240 Speaker 1: see back then on the Keith Olberman Show count Down 610 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,839 Speaker 1: with Keith Olberman, you would have had any number of 611 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 1: unhinged lefties or calling into the old Stephanie Miller show, 612 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,720 Speaker 1: or who is the other who is the big left 613 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: wing radio host that they said was going to be 614 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: the next Rush Not Al Franken, Not Al frank He's 615 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 1: the working class guy passed away a few years back. 616 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 1: He actually was an entertaining broadcaster. He's a very talented guy. 617 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 1: Ed Ed Schultz ed. It was Ed Schultz ed. I 618 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 1: think they eventually gave him a show on MSNBC for 619 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 1: a while. But you would have expected the day Dick 620 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: Cheney died to just be a cesspool on social media, 621 00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 1: and it kind of wasn't. 622 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 8: Now. 623 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because Cheney was Vice president seventeen years ago, 624 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:18,320 Speaker 1: or maybe it's because both he and his daughter Liz 625 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:23,280 Speaker 1: emerged as two of the most vocal critics of Donald Trump. 626 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 1: Liz Cheney effectually was the Republican go to voice whenever 627 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:36,839 Speaker 1: Democrats have needed an anti Trump screech. That is, until 628 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 1: her constituents overwhelmingly booted her out of office because it 629 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 1: turns out that they don't like Republicans doing all manner 630 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 1: of questionably legal things as part of the January sixth 631 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 1: Committee to try to quote get a fellow Republican. Dick 632 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: Cheney was not nearly as unhinged in his hate of 633 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: President Trump as his daughter was, but every now and 634 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,360 Speaker 1: again he would come out with a statement and it 635 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,400 Speaker 1: would be dutifully reported on in the press, and people 636 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 1: like me, I'm sure people like you who remember that 637 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 1: post nine to eleven era, who remember the Bush administration, 638 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 1: we would say, my goodness, these people are actually turning 639 00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 1: to Dick Cheney as a moral authority. Dick Cheney, the 640 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,719 Speaker 1: guy who is selling out the entire country to make 641 00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 1: a couple of extra bucks with Halliburton. The guy who 642 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: was single handedly torturing poor Iraqi prisoners at Abu Grabe. 643 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: The guy who was himself flying innocent Muslims down to 644 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 1: Guantanamo obey and holding them forever without trial. Dick Cheney, 645 00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: the guy who was personally water We're boarding every Muslim 646 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:08,560 Speaker 1: from Libya to Saudi Arabia. That Dick Cheney, That Dick 647 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,359 Speaker 1: Cheney is the guy we're going to hold up as 648 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: a moral paradigm. It became sort of a Dick Cheney paradox, 649 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 1: and it proved that for the media and the political 650 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 1: and social left, the only good Republican is well now, 651 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 1: the crazies say a dead Republican, But the only good 652 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 1: Republican is the last Republican. There will come a time, 653 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:39,360 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, there will come a time, maybe during 654 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:43,000 Speaker 1: the term of Marco Rubio will have eight years of 655 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 1: President JD. Vance with Marco Rubio serving as VP. Then 656 00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 1: it'll be President Rubio for eight years with Eric Trump 657 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:57,319 Speaker 1: as VP, and then finally Baron Trump will ascend to 658 00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:02,920 Speaker 1: the presidency sometime around twenty I'm gonna say, during the 659 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 1: period of the Rubio presidency, you are actually going to 660 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:13,720 Speaker 1: have discourse that goes something like this. You know, even 661 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 1: Donald Trump wouldn't do what Rubio is doing now. President 662 00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 1: Rubio is nothing like President Trump. Assuming that we forgot 663 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 1: all about what you said about President Trump, and in fact, 664 00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 1: you can draw a straight line, and folks, I know, 665 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:33,400 Speaker 1: I know, I know, We've got to get to the 666 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:37,320 Speaker 1: daily Trump date and we will, but this is important. 667 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 1: You can draw a straight line between how the Bush 668 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:48,879 Speaker 1: administration handled the media and handled the Hitler comparisons and 669 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:53,640 Speaker 1: handled just the constant vitriol and the election of Donald Trump. 670 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:59,400 Speaker 1: It was the Bush Cheney strategy to never ever ever 671 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:06,560 Speaker 1: respond to any of the unhinged critiques. They just took it. 672 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,680 Speaker 1: As a result. I think the narrative that George Bush 673 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,760 Speaker 1: doesn't care about drowning black people in New Orleans following 674 00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,919 Speaker 1: Hurricane Katrina took hold as crazy as it was, as 675 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 1: demonstrably false as it was that it was the federal 676 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,520 Speaker 1: government and not state and local authorities all Democrats, by 677 00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:31,920 Speaker 1: the way, that dropped the ball and allowed just untold 678 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,040 Speaker 1: number of people to die when they didn't have to. 679 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:43,319 Speaker 1: That paved the way for Republican voters to say, wait 680 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,839 Speaker 1: a second, we don't want someone who's just gonna sit 681 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,399 Speaker 1: there and take it. We want someone who punches back. 682 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,759 Speaker 1: And you know what the left is going to call 683 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:58,919 Speaker 1: our guy hitler and a fascist and a Nazi regardless, 684 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 1: my god, who did we nominate after George Bush? After 685 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:09,919 Speaker 1: the Bush President? Is John McCain? Okay, John McCain, who 686 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:14,960 Speaker 1: single handedly killed Trump's efforts to end Obamacare, which, by 687 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 1: the way, would have stopped all those massive price hikes 688 00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 1: from coming, because if Obamacare was gone, we wouldn't need 689 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:28,879 Speaker 1: the subsidies to keep the Affordable Care Act anywhere near affordable, now, 690 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:33,280 Speaker 1: would we. So we nominate John McCain, war hero darling 691 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:38,800 Speaker 1: of the let Then the quintessential nice guy Mitt Romney, 692 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: who also turned into a very fierce Trump critic. Weird 693 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:48,200 Speaker 1: how that works, isn't it, they called him. Do you 694 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 1: realize During the twenty twelve presidential election, they said that 695 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:57,839 Speaker 1: Mitt Romney had literal binders full of women, that he 696 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:03,160 Speaker 1: kept women in some sort of weird cryo chamber and 697 00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: would pull them out whenever he needed a job. He 698 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,400 Speaker 1: was obviously talking. We had binders full of women's names. 699 00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 1: It was the weirdest political attack I think I have 700 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:16,239 Speaker 1: ever heard. The binders full of women nonsense. They accused 701 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:22,720 Speaker 1: him of abusing the family's pet, because, which was common 702 00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 1: at the time, they would put it in the pet 703 00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:30,040 Speaker 1: carrier on top of the car. They accused him of 704 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:35,200 Speaker 1: denying health care coverage and killing one of his employees wives, 705 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 1: remember that one. They accused him of cheating on his taxes. 706 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:45,120 Speaker 1: Harry Reid said, after it was demonstrably proven, Romney didn't. 707 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,960 Speaker 1: They said, did you have any proof he ever cheated 708 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,960 Speaker 1: on his taxes? No? Well, why did you lie about it? 709 00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 1: He didn't win, did he was Harry Reid's famous retort. 710 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,040 Speaker 1: If they would do that to a decent human being 711 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,839 Speaker 1: like Romney, a decent human being like John McCain, a 712 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 1: decent human being like George W. Bush, and there wouldn't 713 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:14,800 Speaker 1: be any real pushback. Well, screw you. We're gonna elect 714 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:18,239 Speaker 1: the one guy who is going to push back. And 715 00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,520 Speaker 1: if you're gonna go into the gutter, he's gonna find 716 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:23,279 Speaker 1: a way to go even lower. He is gonna be 717 00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:27,040 Speaker 1: like Penny Wise, the dancing clown down in the sewer, 718 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:33,840 Speaker 1: to ensure that nobody is saying the sorts of stuff 719 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 1: about him like they did about Bush and Cheney. Ultimately, 720 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 1: Dick Cheney's legacy is going to be as one of 721 00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 1: the architects of a Middle Eastern strategy that I still 722 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:52,440 Speaker 1: fully believe would have worked if Barack Obama did not 723 00:52:53,040 --> 00:53:00,000 Speaker 1: completely undo it. The troop surge was absolutely working. The failure, though, 724 00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 1: was presuming that people in the Middle East necessarily wanted 725 00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:11,200 Speaker 1: American style democracy. Every effort to democracy build in the 726 00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,799 Speaker 1: Middle East has been a colossal failure. History has proven that. 727 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 1: I still believe we could have taken out ISIS and 728 00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,239 Speaker 1: al Qaeda in Iraq and the remnants of the original 729 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,440 Speaker 1: al Qaeda, very very quickly if we didn't have to 730 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:30,640 Speaker 1: bow to the political correctness of the left insisting that 731 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:35,320 Speaker 1: we fight the most the political left, the baby Boom 732 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 1: generation has lost us. I don't know how many wars 733 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 1: since the early nineteen seventies Vietnam eminently winnable. We were 734 00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:48,240 Speaker 1: just not allowed to actually engage same thing with Iraq. 735 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,880 Speaker 1: We tuck and run with our tails between our legs 736 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:56,320 Speaker 1: in August of twenty twenty one, under the single worst 737 00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:03,279 Speaker 1: president in our lifetimes, George Joseph R. Giving up on 738 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,960 Speaker 1: the strategy that I think the Bush Cheney regime wanted 739 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,239 Speaker 1: all along, which was a permanent base of operations in 740 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:15,880 Speaker 1: that Iraq Baghdad green zone, transferring troops where we don't 741 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:20,920 Speaker 1: really need them over European and Asian airspace, although now 742 00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 1: the emerging threats from Russia and China maybe prove that otherwise. 743 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,799 Speaker 1: But back then the idea was we were going to 744 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,400 Speaker 1: have as many troops as possible there, so quite literally, 745 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: as they said over and over, we would fight them 746 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,160 Speaker 1: on their turf and not ours. And I think the 747 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,440 Speaker 1: most enduring legacy has got to be that after nine 748 00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,680 Speaker 1: to eleven, thanks to the work of George W. Bush 749 00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 1: and Dick Cheney and countless people who work tirelessly to 750 00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 1: keep us safe. Under the leadership of Bush and Cheney, 751 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,560 Speaker 1: there was not another nine to eleven. There was not 752 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:58,960 Speaker 1: another terror attack. That strategy ultimately did succeed. The failure 753 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:04,160 Speaker 1: was in the presumption that exporting American style democracy to 754 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:09,120 Speaker 1: people who just fundamentally don't want it would succeed. Trump 755 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 1: I think has the better idea, saying, look, so long 756 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:17,120 Speaker 1: as you don't try to nuke Israel, so long as 757 00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,960 Speaker 1: you're not exporting terror across the globe, we will allow 758 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,880 Speaker 1: you to govern however you want. We want to partner 759 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,360 Speaker 1: with the Middle East with whatever government you have, provided 760 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:31,160 Speaker 1: that government can be compatible to the free peoples of 761 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,239 Speaker 1: the world. All right, I talked way longer than I 762 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,239 Speaker 1: thought I would about Dick Cheney's death. This is a 763 00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 1: monumental figure in American politics. We will bring you the 764 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:44,760 Speaker 1: daily Trump date next. Just realized I was so into 765 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,279 Speaker 1: the Dick Cheney discussion, which is really sort of a 766 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,720 Speaker 1: microcosm of where we are politically and how we got 767 00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,880 Speaker 1: here in America. I did not yet give out the 768 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 1: four o'clock word in the Fall Fortune Cash contest. That 769 00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:02,560 Speaker 1: word is money. Money. You've got until four fifty five, 770 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 1: plenty of time. If it takes you that long to 771 00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,759 Speaker 1: enter the keyword money at our website, well you're probably 772 00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 1: a Department of Public Instruction employee, because they can't for 773 00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:19,840 Speaker 1: some reason, according to say Superintendent Jill Underley, get four 774 00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:24,400 Speaker 1: hundred names of teachers who are under investigation over a 775 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:29,719 Speaker 1: five year period into a searchable database. In a reasonable 776 00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,560 Speaker 1: amount of time. That's just too much work. It's going 777 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 1: to cost too much money. You can do it, folks, money, 778 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,839 Speaker 1: Although we are looking for creative spellings as well. I'm 779 00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:43,280 Speaker 1: sure munny works. I am told I remember the last 780 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,400 Speaker 1: time we did this. You cannot just enter a dollar sign, 781 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 1: which I thought would have been hilarious. You do have 782 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,120 Speaker 1: to at least get somewhat close to money. I'm sure 783 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,919 Speaker 1: honey probably works, but I would like to see your 784 00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:02,120 Speaker 1: most creative accepted spell of our four o'clock keyword in 785 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 1: the Fall Fortune Cash Contest, which is indeed money. All right, 786 00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:08,239 Speaker 1: little late, but better late than never. Time Now for 787 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:09,120 Speaker 1: the daily Trump Day. 788 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,760 Speaker 9: We're gonna win so much you may even get tired 789 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:13,240 Speaker 9: of winning. 790 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,400 Speaker 1: Trump just keeps waiting. It is a win for the administration. 791 00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 10: It's also a big win for the United States. 792 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,320 Speaker 1: We have to keep winning. We have to win more. 793 00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna win more. White House flags at half staff 794 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:29,880 Speaker 1: today in honor of Dick Cheney, who died last night 795 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: at the age of eighty four. White House Press Secretary 796 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,960 Speaker 1: Caroline Levitt holding a press briefing today. 797 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 11: We are now on day thirty five of the Democrat 798 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:44,800 Speaker 11: government shutdown. The Democrats' obstructionism will break the record for 799 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:50,160 Speaker 11: the longest government shutdown in American history tonight. The Democrats 800 00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:54,680 Speaker 11: are intentionally hurting American families, workers, and businesses with this 801 00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 11: shutdown to fight for free health care for illegal aliens 802 00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:01,840 Speaker 11: and to appease radical left wing base. 803 00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 5: And it's a total disgrace. 804 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:10,680 Speaker 1: In fact, President Trump has been urging Democrats to just vote, 805 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,720 Speaker 1: just across the table and vote. All we need is 806 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 1: five of you to break the filibuster. Well, for a 807 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,560 Speaker 1: fourteenth time today they refused to do that. 808 00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 3: Now. 809 00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:24,280 Speaker 1: President Trump did also post on truth Social earlier today, 810 00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:30,120 Speaker 1: seemingly indicating that he wasn't going to free up reserve 811 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:35,320 Speaker 1: funds contingency money for federal snap benefits that lapsed on 812 00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:40,960 Speaker 1: November one, Saturday. Levitt was asked about that during today's 813 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 1: press briefing and try to clear it up. 814 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 11: The administration is fully complying with the court order. I 815 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:48,000 Speaker 11: just spoke to the President about it. The recipients of 816 00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,480 Speaker 11: these staff benefits need to understand it's going to take 817 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,240 Speaker 11: some time to receive this money because the Democrats have 818 00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,840 Speaker 11: forced the administration into a very untenable position. We are 819 00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,080 Speaker 11: digging into a contingency fund that is supposed to be 820 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,400 Speaker 11: for emergencies, catastrophes, for. 821 00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 5: War, and the President does not want to have to tap. 822 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:06,600 Speaker 11: Into this fund in the future, and that's what he 823 00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,400 Speaker 11: was referring to in his truth social posts. So the 824 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,680 Speaker 11: Department of Agriculture, as for the latest SNAP payment in 825 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 11: the Judges order, put out guidance to states today on 826 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,040 Speaker 11: how to get that money to the recipients of SNAP. 827 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,520 Speaker 5: But it's going to take some time. 828 00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,400 Speaker 11: The best way to get the full amount of SNAP 829 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 11: benefits to those beneficiaries is for Democrats to reopen the. 830 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 1: Government, which of course they are not going to until 831 00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:38,360 Speaker 1: after the polls close tonight. Complete election coverage, a bit 832 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,960 Speaker 1: of a preview of those big races New York City, Virginia, 833 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,280 Speaker 1: the New Jersey gubernatorial race coming up later on in 834 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:49,120 Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour here on the Dano Donald's show. Now, 835 00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:53,600 Speaker 1: Levitt was also asked about another truth social post that 836 00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,200 Speaker 1: the President made. In fact, he has been saying this 837 00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,880 Speaker 1: pretty consistently for the past couple of days that republic 838 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:04,960 Speaker 1: need to get rid of the filibuster, open the government 839 01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:08,960 Speaker 1: and do so quickly, knowing that Democrats will do the 840 01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:13,240 Speaker 1: exact same thing the second they retake power. 841 01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,320 Speaker 11: Here's I think the President has been very realistic and 842 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,000 Speaker 11: strong in his position on the filibuster. He's been very 843 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:20,680 Speaker 11: vocal about it. I just spoke to him about it. 844 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,800 Speaker 11: He feels really strongly about this. Republicans need to play 845 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 11: tough and they need to play smart. That's how the 846 01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:29,160 Speaker 11: President feels. And we know that Democrats when they if 847 01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,920 Speaker 11: they are ever given a chance at power again in 848 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,720 Speaker 11: this city, they will absolutely take away the filibuster from 849 01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,439 Speaker 11: the United States Senate. In fact, you had forty nine 850 01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,120 Speaker 11: Democrats who already voted to do this before. The only 851 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,920 Speaker 11: reason it did not move forward was because you had 852 01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 11: two Democrats who are no longer in office because they 853 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:50,160 Speaker 11: were run out of town by the far left, radical base. 854 01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,400 Speaker 5: Of their party. And so President Trump is very quite 855 01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:54,080 Speaker 5: clear on this. 856 01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,560 Speaker 11: He wants to see Republicans move as many good pieces 857 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,760 Speaker 11: of legislation for our country forward in the next three 858 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,840 Speaker 11: years of his administration as they possibly can, and the 859 01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 11: filibuster is one means to doing that. 860 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:11,080 Speaker 1: That, ladies and gentlemen, is your daily Trump date. I 861 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: continue to be very consistent in my analysis of this, 862 01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,800 Speaker 1: nuking the filibuster would be the single dumbest thing that 863 01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 1: Republicans could do. Democrats are begging, they are pleading for 864 01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,840 Speaker 1: Republicans to get rid of the filibuster. Now it is 865 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:33,080 Speaker 1: true that they may do so on their own anyway, 866 01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,240 Speaker 1: but it made it way easier for Republicans to get 867 01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:42,640 Speaker 1: rid of the filibuster on Supreme Court nominees once Harry 868 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,760 Speaker 1: Reid and Senate Democrats back in I believe it was 869 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:51,479 Speaker 1: twenty thirteen twenty fourteen, nuked the filibuster for all other 870 01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:56,560 Speaker 1: judicial nominees as well as for cabinet level positions. Now, 871 01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 1: this would somewhat bolster the argument that the second that 872 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:05,320 Speaker 1: Democrats retake power, they're going to do it regardless. That's 873 01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,600 Speaker 1: not a guarantee. I know full well, and I think 874 01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,720 Speaker 1: he said it publicly a couple of times. John Fetterman 875 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 1: would not be in favor of that. I do believe 876 01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:20,280 Speaker 1: that Angus King, the independent who caucuses with Democrats, also 877 01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:22,920 Speaker 1: would not be in favor of that. So it's not 878 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:29,480 Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion that Democrats would just retake power, get 879 01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 1: fifty one votes and then immediately get rid of the 880 01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:37,160 Speaker 1: philibuster if Republicans do it. For them right now. There's 881 01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,160 Speaker 1: the filibuster is gone. It's just it's not going to 882 01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:46,280 Speaker 1: It's not going to exist anymore because Democrats will never, ever, 883 01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:51,520 Speaker 1: ever ever want it back, because they know just what 884 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,960 Speaker 1: they could do. They can do with a simple fifty 885 01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 1: one to forty nine vote or even a fifty to 886 01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,880 Speaker 1: fifty tie if they control the presidency. Un Thus, the 887 01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 1: vice president casts the deciding vote as president to the Senate, 888 01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 1: they can pass whatever craziness they want. They could expand 889 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,080 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court with fifty one votes in the United 890 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:20,760 Speaker 1: States Senate. They could add Puerto Rico and Washington, DC 891 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,720 Speaker 1: as new states with fifty one votes in the Senate. 892 01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,440 Speaker 1: There is no guarantee that they wouldn't do that anyway, 893 01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:33,080 Speaker 1: but if Republicans gave them the gift of not needing 894 01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:36,720 Speaker 1: sixty votes to be able to do so, then they 895 01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:43,720 Speaker 1: absolutely would. These are people with radical ideas, and they 896 01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:48,960 Speaker 1: are constantly in search of how to maintain a permanent 897 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:53,440 Speaker 1: majority in a permanent grip on power without actually having 898 01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:57,200 Speaker 1: to win over a majority of voters. We're going to 899 01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,760 Speaker 1: step aside for a break out. No fear though, O'Donnell's 900 01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:06,040 Speaker 1: show is coming back before you know it. Coming up 901 01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:08,920 Speaker 1: in the five o'clock hour, not only will we break 902 01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:12,120 Speaker 1: down all of the races on the ballot, and I 903 01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,520 Speaker 1: at least the big ones that you need to be 904 01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,840 Speaker 1: aware of. If you're going to be watching Fox News 905 01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,920 Speaker 1: for election coverage, I know I will be, even though 906 01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:23,360 Speaker 1: I'm not super invested in any of these races. Frankly, 907 01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,480 Speaker 1: I think Democrats are going to win everything. These are 908 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:30,560 Speaker 1: Democrat states, folks, And yes, I do believe the Kami 909 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:35,840 Speaker 1: Zorhan Mamdani is going to win the mayorship of New York. 910 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,480 Speaker 1: I'd love to be wrong. Well, I'll explain. Coming up 911 01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,520 Speaker 1: in the five o'clock hour, we are also going to 912 01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:45,480 Speaker 1: be discussing a hearing on the bill today that I 913 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,840 Speaker 1: first reported on a couple of weeks ago that would 914 01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:54,480 Speaker 1: basically give cartel like authority to the native tribes here 915 01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:59,320 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin that already have cartel like authority over the 916 01:04:59,480 --> 01:05:04,600 Speaker 1: casino industry. It is the sports Betting bill. We will 917 01:05:04,640 --> 01:05:07,280 Speaker 1: get into that as there was a hearing in the 918 01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: Agriculture and Government Affairs Committee or some committee. It was 919 01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,400 Speaker 1: a Senate committee, and I was sort of flipping, this 920 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:19,280 Speaker 1: is how exciting my days typically are. Ladies, and gentlemen 921 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,640 Speaker 1: in case you think the life of a popular radio 922 01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:26,760 Speaker 1: talk show host is, you know, it's all limousines and 923 01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:31,160 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. Sitting around in a room, 924 01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:35,960 Speaker 1: I was flipping back and forth on my computer on 925 01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 1: wisside dot org between the Jill Underley hearing in the 926 01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:45,720 Speaker 1: Education Committee and the Sports online sports gambling hearing in 927 01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,920 Speaker 1: the I believe it was Government Affairs Committee, but I 928 01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,800 Speaker 1: think we have a weird committee. It's like agriculture something 929 01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,760 Speaker 1: and Government Affairs, which is it's kind of a weird 930 01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:59,520 Speaker 1: combination of all of them. And we will get into 931 01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,240 Speaker 1: that coming up at the top of the five o'clock hour. 932 01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:07,040 Speaker 1: I think it is still a remarkably bad idea to 933 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:11,919 Speaker 1: give cartel like authority over what promises to be quite 934 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:17,680 Speaker 1: possibly even a far more lucrative gambling industry than even 935 01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:23,640 Speaker 1: casino gaming, and that's online sports betting. It is a massive, massive, massive, 936 01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:28,040 Speaker 1: massive industry. We will get into that coming up after 937 01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:32,200 Speaker 1: the top of the hour. The NFL trade deadline was 938 01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:40,200 Speaker 1: surprisingly active. There was a blockbuster trade in the NFL today. 939 01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:42,600 Speaker 1: You know who I wish was alive to see this, 940 01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:49,600 Speaker 1: Poor Tucker Craft. Tucker Craft would have absolutely loved all 941 01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:55,640 Speaker 1: the action in today's trade deadline news. He's not dead. 942 01:06:56,600 --> 01:07:00,800 Speaker 1: Oh well, somebody should probably tell Romeo Dobbs Packer's wide 943 01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:02,360 Speaker 1: receiver after practice today. 944 01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:07,000 Speaker 2: I wish that, you know, just on one of our captains, 945 01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:11,720 Speaker 2: or even just your worst enemy. I don't wish that 946 01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:19,240 Speaker 2: on any man. And you know, Tucker's and in a 947 01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,960 Speaker 2: better place. But again, you just gotta. 948 01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:26,440 Speaker 5: Next question. 949 01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:28,040 Speaker 4: He had to move on. 950 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:32,360 Speaker 1: He was getting choked up thinking about poor Tucker Craft 951 01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:37,000 Speaker 1: in heaven. It's so masically. You see Tucker Craft like 952 01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:39,680 Speaker 1: come in on his crutches be like hey Romeo. It's like, 953 01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 1: oh man, it's like I can still hear him today, 954 01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,920 Speaker 1: but I know he's gone and he'll never come back. 955 01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:50,680 Speaker 1: I get what Romeo is saying. He's in a better place. 956 01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 1: It's like he thought he died. The Indianapolis Colts have 957 01:07:55,160 --> 01:08:00,320 Speaker 1: traded for arguably one of the best cornerbacks in pro foot, 958 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:04,600 Speaker 1: and that is Sauce Gardner. His name is actually a 959 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:09,320 Speaker 1: Mod Gardner, but everybody calls him Sauce. The Jets get 960 01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:14,480 Speaker 1: wide receiver Audeni Mitchell and two first round picks in 961 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:19,080 Speaker 1: exchange for Sauce Gardner. These are the type of deals 962 01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:23,200 Speaker 1: you typically do not see at the NFL trade deadline. 963 01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,720 Speaker 1: The thinking is that for offensive players, at least, it's 964 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:31,360 Speaker 1: too difficult to learn the playbook in such a short 965 01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:36,040 Speaker 1: amount of time. We did have a relatively high profile 966 01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 1: offensive move. Jacoby Myers goes from the Oakland Raider Las 967 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:46,960 Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Beyond that, the Cowboys 968 01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:53,120 Speaker 1: added a defensive tackle, quinnin Williams Rashid Shaheed. Outside of 969 01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,600 Speaker 1: fantasy football, and if you, like me, were scraping the 970 01:08:56,760 --> 01:09:01,080 Speaker 1: absolute bottom of the waiver wire pickup because of bye 971 01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:04,240 Speaker 1: weeks to get any serviceable wide receiver, you're probably the 972 01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:09,599 Speaker 1: only ones who know who Rashid Shaheed is. He goes 973 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:13,080 Speaker 1: from the New Orleans Saints to the Seattle Seahawks, who 974 01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,960 Speaker 1: desperately need wide receivers. You wouldn't know it from the 975 01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:22,200 Speaker 1: Sunday night football thumping that they put on the Washington Commanders, 976 01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:28,200 Speaker 1: who appear to have lost their phenom quarterback to an 977 01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:36,679 Speaker 1: elbow dislocation. Industry industry injury, excuse me. The Bears picked 978 01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:43,599 Speaker 1: up Joe Troyne Schoyenka. He is an edge rusher from 979 01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,679 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a sixth round pick. 980 01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:50,720 Speaker 1: That's really it. There's an offensive tackle who goes from 981 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:57,360 Speaker 1: the Saints, Trevor Penning to the Los Angeles Chargers Peckers 982 01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 1: as expected, Stan pat and I know a lot of 983 01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,919 Speaker 1: people are going to be ticked off at that. Although 984 01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:08,600 Speaker 1: the issue with the Packers does not seem to be personnel, 985 01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:13,639 Speaker 1: it just doesn't. I still think this is a good team. 986 01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,960 Speaker 1: We didn't have a whole lot of time to talk 987 01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,160 Speaker 1: about the Packers loss to the Carolina Panthers yesterday. We 988 01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:22,879 Speaker 1: were too busy covering the funeral planning for Tucker Craft. 989 01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:26,800 Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs says he is going to cover all fut 990 01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:32,479 Speaker 1: very expenses for Tucker. He's in a better place. What 991 01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 1: is that the medical tent on the sidelines. He's in 992 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:44,360 Speaker 1: a better place, Romeo. Other news, JayR Alexander, who just 993 01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:49,559 Speaker 1: never really fit in with the Baltimore Ravens, he goes 994 01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:54,040 Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a future sixth 995 01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,960 Speaker 1: round pick. I believe they also sent a seventh round pick. 996 01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,840 Speaker 1: It's sad to see. I do hope that Jaiere is 997 01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:06,040 Speaker 1: able to salvage his career with Philadelphia, because after the 998 01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:12,320 Speaker 1: injuries and after just the bizarre way he exited Green Bay. 999 01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,679 Speaker 1: He just did not fit in with the Baltimore They 1000 01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:18,839 Speaker 1: were healthy scratching him in a lot of these games. 1001 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:23,840 Speaker 1: So that's pretty much your NFL trade deadline analysis, my 1002 01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:29,000 Speaker 1: five second analysis of the Packers. They're fine, they just 1003 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:33,040 Speaker 1: have a tendency to play down to their competition. The 1004 01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:38,200 Speaker 1: offense looks disjointed. Could they have used a playmaking wide receiver. Yeah, 1005 01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:43,040 Speaker 1: absolutely they could, especially now with the loss of Tucker Craft. 1006 01:11:43,080 --> 01:11:47,040 Speaker 1: Not to death or somebody is probably going to be 1007 01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:49,600 Speaker 1: offended by that. It's just it's too funny not to 1008 01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,599 Speaker 1: keep playing that SoundBite of Romeo Dobbs thinking that Tucker 1009 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,840 Speaker 1: Craft is dead and Romeo is having himself a very 1010 01:11:55,880 --> 01:12:00,680 Speaker 1: fine season. But it seems as though the might be 1011 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:06,400 Speaker 1: one playmaker away from really busting this thing open offensively. Defensively, 1012 01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,880 Speaker 1: I still think they're a good team. I mean, they 1013 01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:12,720 Speaker 1: gave up a critical drive to Carolina at the end 1014 01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:16,200 Speaker 1: of that game to get them into somewhat field goal range. 1015 01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,320 Speaker 1: What was that a fifty eight yard kick as time expires. 1016 01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,920 Speaker 1: You simply can't allow that to happen. Defensively, And yes, 1017 01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,719 Speaker 1: they did give up what forty points to the Dallas 1018 01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:29,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys and that overtime tie a couple of weeks back. 1019 01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:35,599 Speaker 1: This is a world class defense, a super Bowl caliber defense, 1020 01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 1: that just does not have a consistent enough offense to 1021 01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:45,040 Speaker 1: go with it. That said, that's the sort of thing 1022 01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:47,800 Speaker 1: that typically will get in sync maybe a little bit 1023 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,960 Speaker 1: later on in the season. I think what people are 1024 01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:55,479 Speaker 1: coming to grips with, especially without Tucker Craft, is just 1025 01:12:55,560 --> 01:13:00,559 Speaker 1: the reality that this Packers team was probably overhyped after 1026 01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,919 Speaker 1: the acquisition of Micah Parsons, and that people had dreams 1027 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:08,240 Speaker 1: of a Super Bowl that probably weren't really warranted. We 1028 01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:11,400 Speaker 1: name the Unsung Hero of the Day when The Dan 1029 01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:17,240 Speaker 1: o'donald Show returns. Dan o'donald's show each and every day 1030 01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,640 Speaker 1: we try to highlight the people who are doing a 1031 01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,640 Speaker 1: little bit extra for our community. Ladies and gentlemen, it 1032 01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:34,800 Speaker 1: is time for today's Unsung Hero of the Day. Today's 1033 01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:40,799 Speaker 1: Unsung Hero of the Day comes to us from his wife. 1034 01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,599 Speaker 1: I got the following email from a lovely listener by 1035 01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:46,800 Speaker 1: the name of Jennifer Hi. 1036 01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:47,040 Speaker 10: Dan. 1037 01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:49,080 Speaker 1: I thought I sent this yesterday, but didn't see it 1038 01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:51,439 Speaker 1: in my cent email, so I apologize. If you're getting 1039 01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,560 Speaker 1: this twice. I'm writing to inform you of an inspiring 1040 01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:59,360 Speaker 1: initiative undertaken by my husband Nick. In honor of the 1041 01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:03,040 Speaker 1: Marine qu War's birthday and Veterans Day on November tenth 1042 01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:06,080 Speaker 1: through the eleventh, he will embark on a twenty five 1043 01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:11,760 Speaker 1: hour hike to raise funds for two outstanding nonprofits dedicated 1044 01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:17,519 Speaker 1: to supporting veterans. Now, Jennifer didn't tell the full story. 1045 01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:20,960 Speaker 1: Not only is her husband Nick Stewart going to be 1046 01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:24,200 Speaker 1: walking for twenty five miles, He's going to be wearing 1047 01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:28,800 Speaker 1: a twenty five pound weighted vest while he does so, 1048 01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:33,520 Speaker 1: to raise funds and awareness for the nonprofits Next Eighteen 1049 01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:37,360 Speaker 1: and the Big Fish Foundation. According to our friends at 1050 01:14:37,439 --> 01:14:42,560 Speaker 1: Washington County Insider, the journey begins eight am Monday, November 1051 01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,920 Speaker 1: tenth at the Old Washington County Courthouse in West Bend 1052 01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:49,559 Speaker 1: and will end twenty five hours later nine am on 1053 01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:53,719 Speaker 1: Veterans Day, November eleventh, on Fifth Avenue and Poplar Street. 1054 01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:58,920 Speaker 1: Every penny raised Stuart Stress will go directly to the organization. 1055 01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 1: Stuart spent the past decade working in mental health at 1056 01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:06,320 Speaker 1: the Veterans Administration Hospital in Milwaukee, and said this effort 1057 01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:10,240 Speaker 1: is deeply personal to him. He said, I've really gained 1058 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:13,360 Speaker 1: a good sense of what the veteran community truly needs 1059 01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:17,000 Speaker 1: right now. It's about helping them become better contributors to 1060 01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:21,040 Speaker 1: their communities and reigniting their sense of service like they 1061 01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,080 Speaker 1: had when they were in the military, and those two 1062 01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:29,760 Speaker 1: organizations do just that. Check out Washington County Insider for 1063 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,800 Speaker 1: more information on a twenty five mile hike wearing a 1064 01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:39,000 Speaker 1: twenty five pound weighted vest. Thank you so much for 1065 01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 1: highlighting the great work that your husband is doing, Jennifer 1066 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 1: nick Stewart. I could not think of a more deserving 1067 01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:52,479 Speaker 1: Unsung Hero of the day. If you have someone in 1068 01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:56,240 Speaker 1: your life that you could think of that needs a 1069 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,760 Speaker 1: little recognition for the great work they do, but aren't 1070 01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:03,040 Speaker 1: going to seek recognition for themselves, shoot me an email, 1071 01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:05,719 Speaker 1: let me know about them and they could be featured 1072 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:08,960 Speaker 1: as the next Unsung Hero of the Day. Just email 1073 01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:14,559 Speaker 1: medod at iHeartMedia dot com. Dan o'donalds Show coming right back, 1074 01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,280 Speaker 1: Welcome back. It is the Dan o'donald Show. Final hour, 1075 01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:22,280 Speaker 1: big election preview coming up in I'd say about fifteen 1076 01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:24,559 Speaker 1: twenty minutes somewhere and there. We're going to take a 1077 01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:28,880 Speaker 1: look at the big ticket item on the election night 1078 01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:32,120 Speaker 1: menu tonight, and that is, of course New York City's 1079 01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:36,360 Speaker 1: mayoral election, where folks, I hate to be the bearer 1080 01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:40,480 Speaker 1: of bad news, but it is almost certain that socialist 1081 01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:45,960 Speaker 1: communist Zoron Mamdani is going to win. He is going 1082 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,040 Speaker 1: to be the next mayor of New York unless Andrew 1083 01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:53,240 Speaker 1: Cuomo can mount a miraculous comeback. And the people were saying, well, 1084 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:56,280 Speaker 1: Curtis Leewas should have gotten out of this race sooner. 1085 01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,439 Speaker 1: How many SLIWA voters do you honestly think are going 1086 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:04,280 Speaker 1: to vote for Andrew Cuomo? People who think, well, if 1087 01:17:04,320 --> 01:17:06,280 Speaker 1: this guy wasn't in the race, it would be a 1088 01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:11,680 Speaker 1: direct one to one vote, That's not entirely true. And 1089 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:16,160 Speaker 1: that's why there are The Libertarian Party has been saying 1090 01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,800 Speaker 1: this forever, Like in fact, when I was all over 1091 01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:24,639 Speaker 1: the Libertarian candidate Phil Anderson in the US Senate race, 1092 01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,960 Speaker 1: saying well, some of his voters clearly would have gone 1093 01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:34,320 Speaker 1: to Eric Huvedy, possibly preventing Senator Tammy Baldwin from winning 1094 01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:39,720 Speaker 1: another term. He correctly stated, Dan, if there is no libertarian, 1095 01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,960 Speaker 1: Libertarian voters will just stay home. They hate both parties. 1096 01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:48,280 Speaker 1: It wasn't like Thomas Leeger who was getting people who 1097 01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:53,120 Speaker 1: would probably otherwise have voted for Republicans. Think about it. 1098 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:59,720 Speaker 1: Would you vote for let's say, Tammy Baldwin if it 1099 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:04,559 Speaker 1: meant AOC could be stopped. I mean, I would hope 1100 01:18:04,600 --> 01:18:07,439 Speaker 1: so lesser of two evils there, And all of you 1101 01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:10,200 Speaker 1: Conservatives who listen to me in the city of Milwaukee 1102 01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:13,400 Speaker 1: know exactly what this is like, or the city of Madison. 1103 01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,559 Speaker 1: You always have to decide between the lesser of two 1104 01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:19,000 Speaker 1: evils because there's never a chance that a Republican is 1105 01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:21,720 Speaker 1: going to win. So we'll get into that coming up 1106 01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:24,080 Speaker 1: a little bit later. On right now nationwide, keyword this 1107 01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:28,080 Speaker 1: hour the Fall Fortune Cash Contest Grand gr An t Grand. 1108 01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:30,920 Speaker 1: You got until five point fifty five to go to 1109 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,280 Speaker 1: our website, enter the keyword grand and you will be 1110 01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:37,320 Speaker 1: entered for a chance to win a grand one thousand 1111 01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:42,320 Speaker 1: dollars in the Fall Fortune Cash Contest. Senate hearing today 1112 01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:47,719 Speaker 1: on a Senate bill that would basically allow online sports 1113 01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:54,000 Speaker 1: betting only if it's run or at least operated by 1114 01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:59,639 Speaker 1: the Native tribes that already have sports books. SB five 1115 01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:05,200 Speaker 1: nine two would basically enact what's known as the hub 1116 01:19:05,320 --> 01:19:10,320 Speaker 1: and spoke model of online sports gambling that was recently 1117 01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:13,920 Speaker 1: allowed by a judge in Florida. There was a Supreme 1118 01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:18,080 Speaker 1: Court decision about seven years ago that legalized sports betting. 1119 01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:23,599 Speaker 1: Across the country. Online sports gambling has taken off like 1120 01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:28,040 Speaker 1: you would not believe. But in Wisconsin it's not legal 1121 01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:33,160 Speaker 1: unless you are physically in a sports book. There was 1122 01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:37,120 Speaker 1: a sports book at the Oneida Casino. There was just 1123 01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,880 Speaker 1: a sports book that was put up, a beautiful one 1124 01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:44,599 Speaker 1: at the Pottawatomy Hotel and Casino's second biggest sports book 1125 01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:47,760 Speaker 1: in the country, I believe, behind only the Circa in 1126 01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:51,080 Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Really really good look in sports book. It's 1127 01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:56,679 Speaker 1: a very very cool place to watch games. There would 1128 01:19:56,720 --> 01:20:00,960 Speaker 1: be a geo fence around the sportsbook and if you 1129 01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:05,120 Speaker 1: were off casino property, you were not allowed to wager 1130 01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:11,840 Speaker 1: using your mobile device. The hub and spoke model basically 1131 01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:17,759 Speaker 1: takes that concept and says, all right, if the server 1132 01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:23,840 Speaker 1: for online sports betting, for example, a draft Kings or 1133 01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:28,280 Speaker 1: a bet MGM fan duel, something like that, if the 1134 01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:33,759 Speaker 1: server is located in a sports book, then the spokes 1135 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:38,519 Speaker 1: that serves as the hub, the spokes the individual phones 1136 01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:42,360 Speaker 1: where bets are placed can be anywhere in the state. 1137 01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:49,960 Speaker 1: That's basically what SB five ninety two does. It would 1138 01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:56,000 Speaker 1: give unimaginable power to those Native tribes. And this is 1139 01:20:56,120 --> 01:21:02,960 Speaker 1: why the Sports Betting Associate, which is a thing the SBA, 1140 01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:08,000 Speaker 1: not the or excuse me, sports Betting Alliance. The SBA 1141 01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:11,000 Speaker 1: is not the Small Business Administration, but rather the Sports 1142 01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:18,560 Speaker 1: Betting Alliance, came out today in opposition to this. Operators 1143 01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:22,920 Speaker 1: such as DraftKings, FanDuel, etc. Would need to provide at 1144 01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:27,120 Speaker 1: least sixty percent of their revenues if they want to 1145 01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:31,719 Speaker 1: operate in Wisconsin to those Native tribes so they could 1146 01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:36,839 Speaker 1: set up a server inside the casino. If this sounds 1147 01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:42,160 Speaker 1: phenomenally stupid, it is now far be it from me 1148 01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,840 Speaker 1: to take the side of a massive operator like Draft 1149 01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:52,080 Speaker 1: Kings or bet MGM against those plucky little tribes who 1150 01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:56,519 Speaker 1: make millions and millions and millions of dollars. And because 1151 01:21:56,560 --> 01:22:03,720 Speaker 1: of insane corruptly Nego sheated and paid for gaming compacts 1152 01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:07,160 Speaker 1: that they made with Diamond Jim Doyle while he was 1153 01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:10,120 Speaker 1: running for governor in two thousand and two. While I 1154 01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:18,000 Speaker 1: might add serving as Wisconsin's Attorney general, the tribes would 1155 01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:25,799 Speaker 1: get a cartel over sports gambling online sports gambling in Wisconsin. Now, 1156 01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:30,519 Speaker 1: there was testimony today from a gentleman whose name I 1157 01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:35,040 Speaker 1: did not catch. He is from the ho Chunk Legislature, 1158 01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:39,880 Speaker 1: and here was, honest to goodness, his opening argument for 1159 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:44,640 Speaker 1: why we should give ho Chunk Nation gaming, the Oneida 1160 01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:49,120 Speaker 1: and the Potawatamie, the tribes that have sports books, this 1161 01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:53,800 Speaker 1: cartel like authority. His argument was, Yeah, we already make 1162 01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:56,439 Speaker 1: a ton of money, but we really want more money. 1163 01:22:56,560 --> 01:23:00,479 Speaker 10: Yes, the Nation does well with our casino game gaming 1164 01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:04,000 Speaker 10: operations and we are thankful for what we have. However, 1165 01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:07,960 Speaker 10: with around eight thousand tribal members, we are still woefully 1166 01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:12,320 Speaker 10: short on providing what is needed. That's why this bill 1167 01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:15,719 Speaker 10: a small first step to allowing tribes to offer mobile 1168 01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:19,040 Speaker 10: sports betting. It's so important. It would allow the Nation 1169 01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:22,719 Speaker 10: and other tribes to tap into a new revenue source 1170 01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 10: that can be used to support tribal governmental functions, sustain 1171 01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:32,919 Speaker 10: self sufficiency, and assist with meeting the needs of tribal members. 1172 01:23:34,040 --> 01:23:40,759 Speaker 1: So, uh, casino doesn't do that? Huh? And how about 1173 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:45,479 Speaker 1: all those tribes that don't currently have casinos but want 1174 01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:50,240 Speaker 1: to put up casinos to help with their members the 1175 01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:53,839 Speaker 1: ho Chunk and the Oneida and the Potawatamy have frozen 1176 01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:59,520 Speaker 1: them out by invoking the insane clauses in those gaming compacts. 1177 01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,000 Speaker 1: Let's say the state of Wisconsin would have to pay 1178 01:24:02,320 --> 01:24:06,439 Speaker 1: tens if not one hundred million dollars or more by 1179 01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:11,880 Speaker 1: way of a penalty. Seriously, his lead argument was, we 1180 01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,000 Speaker 1: make a lot of money, but we can make even 1181 01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:20,240 Speaker 1: more money with this. So if bet MGM at DraftKings, 1182 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:25,080 Speaker 1: at FanDuel, if fanatics I believe has a sports book, 1183 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:29,320 Speaker 1: if they want to operate in Wisconsin, they basically have 1184 01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:33,960 Speaker 1: to give money to the cartel in order to place 1185 01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:38,160 Speaker 1: a fan duel or Draft Kings or bet MGM server 1186 01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:42,160 Speaker 1: in one of the casinos and hand over sixty percent 1187 01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:49,360 Speaker 1: of the profits. Folks, this has disaster written all over it. 1188 01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:53,720 Speaker 1: Mobile sports gambling. If you're going to allow it, just 1189 01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:59,280 Speaker 1: allow it. Why grant cartel like authority to people who 1190 01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:03,920 Speaker 1: have already proven back twenty two years ago that they're 1191 01:25:03,960 --> 01:25:08,880 Speaker 1: not above playing very dirty politics in order to get 1192 01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:12,360 Speaker 1: what they want, like they did when they struck that 1193 01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:16,040 Speaker 1: bargain with Jim Doyle to make the current compacts back 1194 01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:20,080 Speaker 1: in two thousand and three permanent, we are still dealing 1195 01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:23,960 Speaker 1: with that, ladies and gentlemen. It's the reason the Kenosha 1196 01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:29,200 Speaker 1: casino died because Wisconsin would have had to pay one 1197 01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:33,760 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars plus to Potauatomy for a violation of 1198 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:39,559 Speaker 1: the game and compact. If we're going to allow online betting, 1199 01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:42,400 Speaker 1: and that's a discussion I think we can have as 1200 01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:47,120 Speaker 1: a state. We can allow online betting. Draft kings can 1201 01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:51,240 Speaker 1: put their servers wherever they dog one well please, and 1202 01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:55,960 Speaker 1: since they're providing the service, they can keep their profits. 1203 01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:57,800 Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna step aside for a break. We 1204 01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:01,719 Speaker 1: are going to get into election night politics. A complete 1205 01:26:01,720 --> 01:26:22,240 Speaker 1: preview coming up next. All right, hard to believe since 1206 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,920 Speaker 1: we just, you know, went through all of this a 1207 01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:29,360 Speaker 1: year ago, but it is election night in America tonight. 1208 01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:33,920 Speaker 1: A very small portion of America Virginia governor's race, New 1209 01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,400 Speaker 1: Jersey governor's race, and of course the one that has 1210 01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:40,840 Speaker 1: generated by far the most national attention New York City 1211 01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,840 Speaker 1: mayors races all on the ballot tonight. Holes are going 1212 01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:48,559 Speaker 1: to close very very shortly, and frankly, folks, I think 1213 01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:52,160 Speaker 1: we're going to get results a lot quicker than many 1214 01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,320 Speaker 1: of us on the right would hope welcome back to 1215 01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:59,479 Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald show. It is conservative thought, not just talk. 1216 01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,840 Speaker 1: Pull out a couple of days ago gave people who 1217 01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:08,960 Speaker 1: want to stop Zoran Mamdani the open communists, not even 1218 01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:12,840 Speaker 1: a socialist, but the communist who has been the front 1219 01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:16,400 Speaker 1: runner for New York City mayor really this entire cycle 1220 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,639 Speaker 1: ever since. He rang up a surprise win that really 1221 01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:21,840 Speaker 1: shouldn't have been a surprise win if you know the 1222 01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:26,000 Speaker 1: Modern Democratic Party. In that Democrat primary several months ago, 1223 01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:31,080 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo is running as an independent, and the Republican 1224 01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:35,439 Speaker 1: Party candidate is Curtis Sliwa, best known as the guy 1225 01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:38,719 Speaker 1: who always wears the beret and red jacket. He became 1226 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:42,680 Speaker 1: famous years and years decades ago for patrolling the New 1227 01:27:42,760 --> 01:27:45,680 Speaker 1: York City subways and streets of New York as the 1228 01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:49,160 Speaker 1: founder of the Guardians, back when New York was just 1229 01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:53,000 Speaker 1: a crime infested hell hole. People, I think who didn't 1230 01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:57,360 Speaker 1: grow up before the Rudy Giuliani miracle of the nineteen 1231 01:27:57,439 --> 01:28:00,760 Speaker 1: nineties didn't quite realize how bad and how much of 1232 01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:04,280 Speaker 1: a no go zone New York, especially Times Square, which 1233 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:08,760 Speaker 1: kind of became a symbol of New York's precipitous decline, 1234 01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:12,400 Speaker 1: how much of just a no go zone really it was. 1235 01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:16,880 Speaker 1: And the fear is that Zorn Mamdani in a way 1236 01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:21,240 Speaker 1: that even the open socialist Bill Deblasio as disastrous a 1237 01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:25,000 Speaker 1: mayor as he was following a couple of pretty good 1238 01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:28,919 Speaker 1: mayors in Michael Bloomberg, who yes was a Liberal Democrat, 1239 01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:32,280 Speaker 1: actually ran as a Republican one as a Republican then 1240 01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:36,080 Speaker 1: switched parties, and of course Juliani, who was mayor from 1241 01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:40,200 Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties through just after nine to eleven, New 1242 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,519 Speaker 1: York reverted back to form. The voters went to the 1243 01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:46,760 Speaker 1: hard left candidate in Bill de Blasio, and there was 1244 01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:50,040 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of backsliding. Then, of course they elected 1245 01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:56,360 Speaker 1: as kind of a backlash to the open socialism and 1246 01:28:56,479 --> 01:29:01,519 Speaker 1: the just anti police administration of Deblasio, they elected a 1247 01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:05,280 Speaker 1: former police captain in Eric Adams. Now Adams, of course, 1248 01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:08,840 Speaker 1: was involved in corruption. There are those who believe that 1249 01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:13,439 Speaker 1: was a politically motivated prosecution by the Biden administration. He 1250 01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:16,880 Speaker 1: got a pardon from President Trump and that sort of 1251 01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:22,280 Speaker 1: ended his reelection bid. He eventually suspended his campaign much 1252 01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:27,080 Speaker 1: too late. I fear to stop Zorn Mamdani and Curtis 1253 01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:30,120 Speaker 1: Sliwa has thus far refused to get out of the race. 1254 01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:33,960 Speaker 1: Now a lot of people are blaming Sliwa because all 1255 01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:37,400 Speaker 1: he is doing is helping to split the anti Mom 1256 01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:41,640 Speaker 1: Donnie vote, And the thinking is that a bunch of 1257 01:29:41,680 --> 01:29:45,800 Speaker 1: Republicans would just vote for Andrew Cuomo forgetting that it's 1258 01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:51,879 Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo, the same Andrew Cuomo who basically sent nursing 1259 01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:55,920 Speaker 1: home residents to their deaths during COVID nineteen. Of course, 1260 01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:00,240 Speaker 1: all of the sexual stuff that ultimately led to his 1261 01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:03,720 Speaker 1: resignation and disgrace as governor of New York. He is 1262 01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:07,919 Speaker 1: a fundamentally flawed candidate, and in fact, you could argue 1263 01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:13,040 Speaker 1: that he is probably the worst candidate that moderate Democrats, 1264 01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:16,320 Speaker 1: if such a thing even exists in New York anymore, 1265 01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:21,519 Speaker 1: could possibly run to stop the commie Mom Donnie. Now 1266 01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:25,720 Speaker 1: here's a little quirk about New York's ballots. Would you 1267 01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:30,679 Speaker 1: believe that Mom Donnie is on the ballot twice, both 1268 01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:33,839 Speaker 1: on the top row. He is the Democratic Party nominee, 1269 01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:39,519 Speaker 1: is also the Democratic Socialist nominee, whereas Andrew Cuomo is 1270 01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:43,439 Speaker 1: sort of in the bottom right somewhere, as is Curtis Sliwa. 1271 01:30:44,280 --> 01:30:46,600 Speaker 1: Anyone who believes a poll that came out just a 1272 01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:50,240 Speaker 1: couple of days ago showing that Cuomo was just five 1273 01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:55,920 Speaker 1: points behind Mom Donnie, I think is looking a little 1274 01:30:55,960 --> 01:31:01,000 Speaker 1: bit too hard for hope. That probably isn't there, folks. 1275 01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:04,960 Speaker 1: I would be shocked if zorn Mam Donnie does not 1276 01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:08,360 Speaker 1: win the mayoral election tonight, and does not win it 1277 01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:13,360 Speaker 1: by about eight or nine points. He simply has too 1278 01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:16,160 Speaker 1: strong of a base. And yes, a lot has been 1279 01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:19,440 Speaker 1: made out of the fact that native born New Yorkers 1280 01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:26,280 Speaker 1: actually prefer Andrew Cuomo, whereas foreign born voters and those 1281 01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:31,080 Speaker 1: who have sort of bougie white Upper East Side liberal backgrounds. 1282 01:31:31,120 --> 01:31:33,960 Speaker 1: But primarily if you just go based on who was 1283 01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:36,800 Speaker 1: born in the United States of America and who was 1284 01:31:36,840 --> 01:31:40,880 Speaker 1: born overseas and has become a citizen and gotten the 1285 01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:43,960 Speaker 1: right to vote, who is eligible to vote in New 1286 01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:49,400 Speaker 1: York City elections, I should say they overwhelmingly favor Mom Donnie, 1287 01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:54,719 Speaker 1: whereas native born New Yorkers native born Americans actually favor Cuomo. 1288 01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:57,680 Speaker 1: And this has led to a whole lot of questions 1289 01:31:57,760 --> 01:32:00,840 Speaker 1: because Mom Donnie was born in you Go and only 1290 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:03,559 Speaker 1: came to this country a short time ago, folks. That 1291 01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:08,320 Speaker 1: to me is completely secondary to the real issue at 1292 01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:11,520 Speaker 1: play here, and that is that there is a substantial 1293 01:32:11,720 --> 01:32:15,639 Speaker 1: number of Democrats liberals not just in New York City, 1294 01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:21,400 Speaker 1: but also in Minneapolis, where it looks like another socialist, 1295 01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:24,880 Speaker 1: Omar Fatte, is going to be the next mayor of 1296 01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:29,240 Speaker 1: that city. That there is a significant faction in the 1297 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:33,960 Speaker 1: Democratic Party, which I think now clearly constitutes a majority 1298 01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:39,360 Speaker 1: that wants communism. That doesn't just want the lipstick on 1299 01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:43,880 Speaker 1: the pig that is democratic socialism, that they want the 1300 01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:50,320 Speaker 1: entire animal farm, if you will. They want a communistic 1301 01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:53,960 Speaker 1: government that is going to impose price controls in the 1302 01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:59,320 Speaker 1: form of rent freezes on apartments, thereby decimating supply and 1303 01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:03,080 Speaker 1: paradoct hurting people who are looking to rent their first 1304 01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:06,720 Speaker 1: apartment and helping those who have been in their apartments 1305 01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:11,800 Speaker 1: forever by creating artificial scarcity and ensuring that those who 1306 01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:15,479 Speaker 1: are in their apartments already will never ever ever move, 1307 01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:20,400 Speaker 1: There will never ever ever be any housing turnover for 1308 01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:23,960 Speaker 1: younger people who want to start at life in New York. 1309 01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:30,800 Speaker 1: He also wants government controlled grocery stores. Now this sounds like, 1310 01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:33,679 Speaker 1: oh well, it's little more than a co Op Dan. Well, 1311 01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:36,720 Speaker 1: no it's not, and in fact, this exact thing just 1312 01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:42,920 Speaker 1: failed spectacularly in Kansas City. He wants to nationalize, or 1313 01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:47,639 Speaker 1: I guess in this case, municipalize, the means of production 1314 01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:52,120 Speaker 1: or the distribution of the most basic thing that we 1315 01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:56,080 Speaker 1: all need, and that's food. I mean, this is open 1316 01:33:56,400 --> 01:34:02,800 Speaker 1: communism here. He wants to make childcare free, ensuring that 1317 01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:07,120 Speaker 1: nobody is able to have access to child care. What 1318 01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:10,559 Speaker 1: do you think is going to happen if all of 1319 01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:16,640 Speaker 1: a sudden, millions of people in New York with daycare 1320 01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:19,360 Speaker 1: aged kids, or at least hundreds of thousands of people 1321 01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:23,240 Speaker 1: suddenly have access to a free service when there aren't 1322 01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:27,880 Speaker 1: suddenly hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands more daycare providers. 1323 01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:31,280 Speaker 1: What do you think is going to happen to the 1324 01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:34,120 Speaker 1: system there? Well, I think it's obvious. But the point 1325 01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:38,960 Speaker 1: is is that Democrat voters don't care about that sort 1326 01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:45,040 Speaker 1: of thing. Democrat voters don't honestly have any concern about 1327 01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:48,080 Speaker 1: how this stuff is going to work in practice. They 1328 01:34:48,200 --> 01:34:52,920 Speaker 1: simply want the communists. They simply want and frankly, folks, 1329 01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:57,400 Speaker 1: they've wanted this for the past several election cycles. The 1330 01:34:57,439 --> 01:35:02,080 Speaker 1: Democratic National Committee was just enough to rig the primaries 1331 01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:06,960 Speaker 1: against Bernie Sanders three straight times, well at least twice 1332 01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:10,679 Speaker 1: against Bernie Sanders and once in favor of Kamala Harris 1333 01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:14,719 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, to ensure that Democrat voters wouldn't 1334 01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:18,799 Speaker 1: do something stupid and nominate a communist that Middle America 1335 01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:23,320 Speaker 1: would just never ever ever vote for, and said communist 1336 01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:27,680 Speaker 1: would lose a general election. Well, in New York, voters 1337 01:35:27,960 --> 01:35:33,360 Speaker 1: can be left to their own horrible impulses because every 1338 01:35:33,479 --> 01:35:38,280 Speaker 1: single person, it seems in the Democrat Party thinks like 1339 01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:41,960 Speaker 1: them and does not have a concern obviously about how 1340 01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:44,880 Speaker 1: the rest of America thinks about this. All right, we 1341 01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:47,840 Speaker 1: went through the New York mayors race just to put 1342 01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:51,120 Speaker 1: a bow on that, folks. Absolutely, Mom, Donnie, I believe 1343 01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:53,280 Speaker 1: is going to win. You can call this a prediction 1344 01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:59,960 Speaker 1: that my guess is that he wins very very handy. 1345 01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:02,719 Speaker 1: Believe that this race is going to be called very 1346 01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:06,400 Speaker 1: shortly after the polls close. I could be wrong, and 1347 01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:09,880 Speaker 1: there are of course ten million mail in ballots. I'm 1348 01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:13,280 Speaker 1: sure that need to be counted, but we will of 1349 01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:16,479 Speaker 1: course keep you updated on that on social media. We 1350 01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:20,520 Speaker 1: will get to the New Jersey governor's race, where Republicans 1351 01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:22,880 Speaker 1: do actually have a chance at a potential pick up. 1352 01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:27,080 Speaker 1: The Virginia governor's race as well. The controversial dem Attorney 1353 01:36:27,160 --> 01:36:30,200 Speaker 1: general candidate who wishes death on pretty much every Republican 1354 01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:34,960 Speaker 1: and their kids is still pretty likely to win, which 1355 01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:38,280 Speaker 1: speaks volumes about where the Democrat Party is right now. 1356 01:36:38,320 --> 01:36:40,960 Speaker 1: We will get to that coming up next right here 1357 01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:42,400 Speaker 1: on the Dan o'dn. 1358 01:36:42,200 --> 01:37:12,679 Speaker 8: Show, Intelligent Discourse, irreverent fun. 1359 01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:15,680 Speaker 1: It is the Dan o'donald Show. Welcome back to it. 1360 01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:19,719 Speaker 1: New York mayoral race is taking up all of the attention, 1361 01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:23,000 Speaker 1: but a whole lot of cities. In fact, eighteen I 1362 01:37:23,040 --> 01:37:27,519 Speaker 1: believe that the largest cities in America, Seattle, Minneapolis among them, 1363 01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:30,680 Speaker 1: are having mayoral elections. I was actually just during that 1364 01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:34,200 Speaker 1: commercial break taking a look at some of the betting markets, 1365 01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:38,920 Speaker 1: or the prediction markets, which have become a very important 1366 01:37:39,080 --> 01:37:43,799 Speaker 1: part of election prognostication, and I had said that Omar 1367 01:37:43,920 --> 01:37:47,760 Speaker 1: Fate is likely to be the next mayor of Minneapolis. 1368 01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:51,120 Speaker 1: Well Calshi one of the biggest prediction markets along with 1369 01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:55,080 Speaker 1: predict it, and I think, oh, I'm trying to say 1370 01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:56,360 Speaker 1: that the other one is right. At the tip of 1371 01:37:56,400 --> 01:38:01,679 Speaker 1: my tongue. But Calshi actually has Jacob from the incumbent mayor, 1372 01:38:02,080 --> 01:38:05,679 Speaker 1: who did not get the Democratic Socialist or Democrat Farm 1373 01:38:05,720 --> 01:38:08,080 Speaker 1: and Labor excuse me, Democrat Farm and Labor, which is 1374 01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:11,720 Speaker 1: what they call the Democratic Party out in Minnesota. He 1375 01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:14,720 Speaker 1: didn't get their endorsement. Fonte did, and then there was 1376 01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:17,880 Speaker 1: a demonstration that there was a whole lot of wait 1377 01:38:17,960 --> 01:38:23,760 Speaker 1: for it, wait for it, vote fraud and irregularities when 1378 01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:29,519 Speaker 1: it came to the vote for that official endorsement. So 1379 01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:32,879 Speaker 1: that mayoral race was a mess. And Fry is actually 1380 01:38:33,240 --> 01:38:37,639 Speaker 1: at about eighty four percent if I am reading this correctly, 1381 01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:43,679 Speaker 1: eighty four percent chance of winning in that Minnesota mayoral election. Boy, 1382 01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:46,360 Speaker 1: you had to feel bad for him. The guy knelt 1383 01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:52,120 Speaker 1: and wept at George Floyd's golden casket five years ago 1384 01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:56,360 Speaker 1: in one of the more shameful displays of the excesses 1385 01:38:56,439 --> 01:39:00,799 Speaker 1: of the woke left era in America, and he couldn't 1386 01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:06,400 Speaker 1: even get the Democratic Farm and Labor nomination the next 1387 01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:08,680 Speaker 1: time he's up. I mean, just poor guy. Poor guy 1388 01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:14,320 Speaker 1: prostrated himself before the altar of woke liberalism, and it 1389 01:39:14,360 --> 01:39:16,240 Speaker 1: still wouldn't have been enough. But it does look like 1390 01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:20,080 Speaker 1: he is going to survive there. I'm also looking at 1391 01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:24,479 Speaker 1: these prediction markets in the two big gubernatorial elections on 1392 01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:30,200 Speaker 1: the ballot tonight in Virginia, where Democrat Abigail Spanberger has 1393 01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:34,400 Speaker 1: now a ninety eight percent chance of winning over Republican 1394 01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:38,960 Speaker 1: Winsome Earl Sears. The current lieutenant governor. Term limits very 1395 01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:43,760 Speaker 1: strict term limits in Virginia. You actually can't run for reelection, 1396 01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:47,080 Speaker 1: which is why the very very popular and very very 1397 01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:51,120 Speaker 1: good governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, who won in twenty 1398 01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:55,040 Speaker 1: twenty one, is not seeking reelection because simply he can't. 1399 01:39:55,120 --> 01:39:59,040 Speaker 1: So his lieutenant governor was seeking election in his stead, 1400 01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:05,320 Speaker 1: and Sear is just Virginia is reverting to form, I think, 1401 01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:08,439 Speaker 1: and what we can now see in the twenty twenty 1402 01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:13,200 Speaker 1: one Virginia gubernatorial election is that that was a response, 1403 01:40:13,240 --> 01:40:18,760 Speaker 1: a direct response to immediately how disastrous a presidency Joe 1404 01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:22,160 Speaker 1: Biden's really was. Remember, the election took place just a 1405 01:40:22,200 --> 01:40:28,120 Speaker 1: couple of months after the truly unfathomably incompetent and deadly 1406 01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:31,280 Speaker 1: pull out from Afghanistan, and that marked the beginning of 1407 01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:34,040 Speaker 1: the end of Joe Biden's presidency. I'm not sure if 1408 01:40:34,040 --> 01:40:36,160 Speaker 1: anybody really knew it at the time. I can remember 1409 01:40:37,280 --> 01:40:42,000 Speaker 1: looking at the sort of death cross of his favorable 1410 01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:45,559 Speaker 1: and unfavorable numbers. If you look at the whole of 1411 01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:48,719 Speaker 1: Biden's presidency and you do like daily, you know, tracking 1412 01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:51,719 Speaker 1: numbers of you know, is the president doing a good job. 1413 01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:58,800 Speaker 1: The point at which unfavorable opinion met and surpassed favorable 1414 01:40:58,800 --> 01:41:02,479 Speaker 1: opinion was the exaus zact moment in August of twenty 1415 01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:06,160 Speaker 1: twenty one, where that Afghanistan pull out happened and Biden 1416 01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:08,840 Speaker 1: never recovered. And then of course his you can also 1417 01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:14,240 Speaker 1: chart his favorability ratings right along with his cognition. They 1418 01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:20,400 Speaker 1: both seem to be declining pretty consistently and pretty precipitously together. 1419 01:41:20,640 --> 01:41:27,920 Speaker 1: But that election is That election is I think now 1420 01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:31,320 Speaker 1: properly seen as just a referendum on Biden. It was 1421 01:41:31,400 --> 01:41:34,080 Speaker 1: the first chance voters had a chance to say, hey, wait, 1422 01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:36,479 Speaker 1: we do not like this president, we do not like 1423 01:41:36,520 --> 01:41:39,439 Speaker 1: what Democrats are doing to the country. We're sick of 1424 01:41:39,479 --> 01:41:42,280 Speaker 1: the COVID nonsense. We want to move forward. And Youngkin 1425 01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:46,280 Speaker 1: was a very charismatic, very good political figure, and there 1426 01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:48,439 Speaker 1: was a Republican sweep for the first time in years 1427 01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:52,400 Speaker 1: and years and years. Winsom Earl Sears was part of that. 1428 01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:57,799 Speaker 1: But we also now have an open seat for attorney 1429 01:41:57,840 --> 01:42:01,120 Speaker 1: general and the Democrat I don't even know the name 1430 01:42:01,160 --> 01:42:03,880 Speaker 1: of the Republican Frankly, who's running for lieutenant governor doesn't 1431 01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:06,840 Speaker 1: really matter. The attorney general's race is where all the 1432 01:42:06,880 --> 01:42:11,120 Speaker 1: action has been. Jason Jones is just a complete and 1433 01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:15,920 Speaker 1: total turd. Text messages reveal that not only did he 1434 01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:19,559 Speaker 1: wish death once upon a time to the then speaker 1435 01:42:19,640 --> 01:42:23,880 Speaker 1: Republican Speaker of the Virginia House of Representatives, he also, 1436 01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:29,680 Speaker 1: in subsequent messages wished death upon his children so that 1437 01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:32,760 Speaker 1: the Speaker of the House would finally be forced to 1438 01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:36,280 Speaker 1: come along to Jason Jones or j Jones and the 1439 01:42:37,680 --> 01:42:40,560 Speaker 1: liberal perspective on gun control or whatever the hell the 1440 01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:47,360 Speaker 1: issue du jour was that led to this insane text message. Now, 1441 01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:50,720 Speaker 1: this happened to be leaked right after the assassination of 1442 01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:55,280 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, when what seemed to be eighty percent of 1443 01:42:55,360 --> 01:42:59,920 Speaker 1: political liberals were openly celebrating online. I will refer you 1444 01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:05,920 Speaker 1: again to the numbers who are openly celebrating Dick Cheney's 1445 01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:08,479 Speaker 1: death today yes. For those who didn't hear, we covered 1446 01:43:08,520 --> 01:43:11,360 Speaker 1: it earlier in the show. Dick Cheney passed away at 1447 01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:15,280 Speaker 1: the age of eighty four. Although dick Cheney spoke out 1448 01:43:15,280 --> 01:43:19,679 Speaker 1: against President Trump routinely in the latter part of his life, 1449 01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:21,680 Speaker 1: so maybe he gets a little bit of grace from 1450 01:43:21,720 --> 01:43:24,240 Speaker 1: at least the traditional press, but not so from the J. 1451 01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:28,160 Speaker 1: Jones wing of the Democrat Party, who is likely very 1452 01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:32,679 Speaker 1: privately celebrating dick Cheney's demise. There was also an incident 1453 01:43:32,840 --> 01:43:35,879 Speaker 1: in which he was doing one hundred and sixteen miles 1454 01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:40,280 Speaker 1: an hour and was supposed to do community service to 1455 01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:42,120 Speaker 1: make up for it. He gets a slap on the wrist, 1456 01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:44,840 Speaker 1: of course, for a reckless driving, and he does it 1457 01:43:44,920 --> 01:43:48,280 Speaker 1: at his own political foundation. So he's doing political work, 1458 01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:52,400 Speaker 1: and the judge allows this to be charity work. This 1459 01:43:52,880 --> 01:43:57,840 Speaker 1: is community service in the world of Democrat politics. So 1460 01:43:58,520 --> 01:44:03,240 Speaker 1: Jason Miarez is is the very good Republican candidate who 1461 01:44:03,439 --> 01:44:07,240 Speaker 1: is it seems now, at least according to the betting market, 1462 01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:10,759 Speaker 1: with a fifty six percent chance of winning. It would 1463 01:44:10,760 --> 01:44:14,840 Speaker 1: not shock me, folks if Spanberger gets a bigger than 1464 01:44:14,920 --> 01:44:19,480 Speaker 1: expected margin of victory, which is entirely possible in Virginia 1465 01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:22,200 Speaker 1: as a result of the backlash to Trump and the 1466 01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:26,000 Speaker 1: federal layoffs and the shutdown and all this. Remember, Virginia 1467 01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:31,479 Speaker 1: is one hundred percent decided now by federal workers. They're 1468 01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:34,519 Speaker 1: all living in Virginia, in the suburbs around Washington, d C. 1469 01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:37,599 Speaker 1: And they have an outsize influence over the rest of 1470 01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:41,000 Speaker 1: the state. So if you see a big win from 1471 01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:45,200 Speaker 1: Spanburger tonight, don't be surprised if that has down ballot 1472 01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:50,200 Speaker 1: effects and that actually propels Jay Jones to a win 1473 01:44:50,479 --> 01:44:54,719 Speaker 1: in the attorney general's race as well. Now, the election 1474 01:44:54,920 --> 01:44:59,160 Speaker 1: where Republicans are pinning a good amount of hope is 1475 01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:03,080 Speaker 1: in the governor's in New Jersey. New Jersey four years ago, 1476 01:45:03,560 --> 01:45:06,479 Speaker 1: very very nearly, I'm talking within a point or two 1477 01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:11,400 Speaker 1: went Republican again as a backlash to Joe Biden in 1478 01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:14,639 Speaker 1: his first few months in office. Again coming just after 1479 01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:17,680 Speaker 1: that disastrous Afghanistan pull out, which I think turned the 1480 01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:22,120 Speaker 1: entire country against Biden. You have got this year, Jack Chitarelli, 1481 01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:26,920 Speaker 1: the Republican going up against Mikey Cheryl. Now, Cheryl is 1482 01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:33,240 Speaker 1: very likely to win, and I do a lot of 1483 01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:38,040 Speaker 1: analysis of early vote trends and the early vote trends 1484 01:45:38,240 --> 01:45:43,000 Speaker 1: early on in the early in person voting period were 1485 01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:46,960 Speaker 1: not very good for Chitarelly. Remember last year when I 1486 01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:49,000 Speaker 1: was talking every day and I'm sure you were seeing 1487 01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:52,040 Speaker 1: this about just how well Republicans were doing in voter 1488 01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:57,479 Speaker 1: registration in the states where we can see where they 1489 01:45:57,520 --> 01:46:00,479 Speaker 1: have closed primaries, where you are a register voter, we 1490 01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:06,240 Speaker 1: could actually see what registered Republicans, what registered Democrats were 1491 01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:08,960 Speaker 1: turning in their ballots, and Republicans were just doing a 1492 01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:12,280 Speaker 1: phenomenal job in all of the states that they needed 1493 01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:13,960 Speaker 1: to do. And we were taking a look at the 1494 01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,760 Speaker 1: analysis of Wisconsin kind of by county and where you're 1495 01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:19,040 Speaker 1: likely to have a whole lot of Republicans. We don't 1496 01:46:19,080 --> 01:46:23,080 Speaker 1: have closed primaries. You don't register in this state as 1497 01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:25,720 Speaker 1: a Republican or a Democrat, so we can't tell totally 1498 01:46:26,560 --> 01:46:28,320 Speaker 1: who you're likely to vote for, but we can tell 1499 01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:32,160 Speaker 1: by geographic location. Well, early on in the early vote period, 1500 01:46:33,800 --> 01:46:36,959 Speaker 1: you did not see a whole lot of Republican turnout. 1501 01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:41,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if that was just sort of the 1502 01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:45,879 Speaker 1: idea that a Republican isn't going to win or something 1503 01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:49,320 Speaker 1: like that, but Chittarelli has really turned on the gas 1504 01:46:49,400 --> 01:46:52,160 Speaker 1: with respect to the last week or so of in 1505 01:46:52,240 --> 01:46:56,360 Speaker 1: person early voting. Is it going to matter because Mikey 1506 01:46:56,439 --> 01:46:59,160 Speaker 1: Cheryl the Democrat has what seems to be an almost 1507 01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:03,479 Speaker 1: insurmount lead in mail in balloting. If you're wondering why 1508 01:47:03,520 --> 01:47:07,960 Speaker 1: Democrats will never, ever, ever, ever ever give up mail 1509 01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:11,400 Speaker 1: in balloting until Republicans actually start kicking their butts at it, 1510 01:47:11,520 --> 01:47:14,160 Speaker 1: this is the reason. Because they see this as a 1511 01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:17,960 Speaker 1: massive advantage. Chitarelli is going to win today's vote. He's 1512 01:47:17,960 --> 01:47:21,720 Speaker 1: going to win the election day vote handily, overwhelmingly, and 1513 01:47:21,880 --> 01:47:26,120 Speaker 1: even though I believe he has likely slipped very slightly 1514 01:47:26,240 --> 01:47:30,800 Speaker 1: ahead in in person early voting, the male in voting 1515 01:47:30,840 --> 01:47:34,280 Speaker 1: advantage is just going to be so overwhelming for Cheryl 1516 01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:37,600 Speaker 1: that I wouldn't be surprised to see her win, but 1517 01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:40,559 Speaker 1: by a tighter margin. Then you might think, folks, let's 1518 01:47:40,560 --> 01:47:44,200 Speaker 1: not forget New Jersey is a Democrat state. It may 1519 01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:49,080 Speaker 1: be trending more Republican, it may be getting closer, but ultimately, 1520 01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:52,639 Speaker 1: just like Virginia, it is going to revert to form. 1521 01:47:52,720 --> 01:47:56,759 Speaker 1: You may see an anomalous election like Virginia four years ago, 1522 01:47:57,200 --> 01:48:00,200 Speaker 1: and like New Jersey nearly was four years ago, but 1523 01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:04,040 Speaker 1: when the Republicans control the White House, and it allows 1524 01:48:04,120 --> 01:48:07,720 Speaker 1: Democrat voters to get mad, and it allows Democrats to 1525 01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:10,719 Speaker 1: play on the anger of voters who are ticked off 1526 01:48:11,040 --> 01:48:14,559 Speaker 1: that their candidate lost last year in the presidential election. 1527 01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:18,400 Speaker 1: That's a very powerful motivator, and it's why in the 1528 01:48:18,439 --> 01:48:21,280 Speaker 1: midterm elections and in these off year elections, the party 1529 01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:24,439 Speaker 1: that does not control the White House typically does vary 1530 01:48:24,600 --> 01:48:28,600 Speaker 1: very well because their voters are more motivated, they're angrier, 1531 01:48:29,160 --> 01:48:31,960 Speaker 1: and therefore they are more likely to vote not out 1532 01:48:31,960 --> 01:48:34,960 Speaker 1: of spite, but just because they want to see their 1533 01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:37,760 Speaker 1: party win. All Right, you are listening to the Dan 1534 01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:41,800 Speaker 1: O'Donnell Show. I think that's all the analysis I can 1535 01:48:41,880 --> 01:48:45,840 Speaker 1: give about these out of state elections that have just 1536 01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:51,920 Speaker 1: been dominating Fox News and CNN discussion. I obviously like 1537 01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:55,400 Speaker 1: to turn my focus to Wisconsin politics, but yes, I 1538 01:48:55,479 --> 01:48:59,200 Speaker 1: will be a fount of information for you on any 1539 01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:02,640 Speaker 1: states politics. That's just what we do here on the 1540 01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:06,320 Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show, and that's why we like to say 1541 01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:12,120 Speaker 1: it is a tour de force of well researched, well reasoned, 1542 01:49:12,600 --> 01:49:15,599 Speaker 1: and always rational, logical truth. 1543 01:49:15,680 --> 01:49:30,760 Speaker 4: We'll be right back in just a second. 1544 01:49:30,800 --> 01:49:32,960 Speaker 1: A couple of minutes here on the Dan o'donald show, 1545 01:49:33,040 --> 01:49:35,679 Speaker 1: just to sort of put a bow on our election 1546 01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:40,360 Speaker 1: night preview for all the big races New Jersey, Virginia, 1547 01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:44,040 Speaker 1: and New York City Mayor obviously the headliner tonight. In 1548 01:49:44,080 --> 01:49:50,120 Speaker 1: this off year, the prediction markets in all of these 1549 01:49:50,240 --> 01:49:55,439 Speaker 1: races have really and I mean really taken over as 1550 01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:58,599 Speaker 1: a way that people kind of I think, have a 1551 01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:03,760 Speaker 1: better understanding of how races are going to go. And 1552 01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:08,599 Speaker 1: this I think is a direct result of the thorough 1553 01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:12,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to say corruption because that's too strong 1554 01:50:12,439 --> 01:50:14,639 Speaker 1: of a word of the polling industry. There are very 1555 01:50:14,680 --> 01:50:17,639 Speaker 1: good pollsters out there. I happen to think Charles Franklin 1556 01:50:18,160 --> 01:50:21,080 Speaker 1: over at Marquette is one of them. I think he 1557 01:50:21,160 --> 01:50:24,760 Speaker 1: does great work with the Marquette University Law School poll. 1558 01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:29,360 Speaker 1: I think Trafalgar typically does a good job. Atlas Insights 1559 01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:33,479 Speaker 1: is a newer one. They're typically very good. But we 1560 01:50:33,600 --> 01:50:37,880 Speaker 1: just marked folks. One year since the gold standard of 1561 01:50:38,120 --> 01:50:42,920 Speaker 1: Iowa polsters and sells her You remember this, She actually 1562 01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:46,719 Speaker 1: put out a poll that showed Kamala Harris beating Trump 1563 01:50:47,160 --> 01:50:49,799 Speaker 1: by three points in Iowa. This was a week before 1564 01:50:49,920 --> 01:50:52,800 Speaker 1: the presidential election last year. A week before. It threw 1565 01:50:52,840 --> 01:50:56,160 Speaker 1: the entire thing into chaos. Oh my gosh, people thought, 1566 01:50:56,200 --> 01:50:59,080 Speaker 1: if Kamala is beating Trump, there she's gonna sweep the 1567 01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:02,640 Speaker 1: swing states and sells her she never misses well. A 1568 01:51:02,760 --> 01:51:06,679 Speaker 1: week later, Trump won Iowa by like twelve thirteen points. 1569 01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:09,759 Speaker 1: I mean, she could not have possibly been more off. 1570 01:51:10,479 --> 01:51:13,200 Speaker 1: And the question was why would she even put out 1571 01:51:13,280 --> 01:51:15,400 Speaker 1: that sort of pull. It was clearly a push pull. 1572 01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:20,040 Speaker 1: It was designed to manipulate public opinion and to give 1573 01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:23,080 Speaker 1: people the impression that Kamala Harris was going to do 1574 01:51:23,120 --> 01:51:26,479 Speaker 1: better than she was because of the interpretation of the 1575 01:51:26,520 --> 01:51:30,160 Speaker 1: betting markets, which were all tilting Trump at that point. 1576 01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:34,360 Speaker 1: Last year, people on the Harris side, I think we're 1577 01:51:34,400 --> 01:51:36,720 Speaker 1: getting a little dejected, like, oh my gosh, she's going 1578 01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:38,639 Speaker 1: to lose. Oh my gosh, she's going to lose. Well, 1579 01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:41,800 Speaker 1: when you get good news that a candidate is going 1580 01:51:41,840 --> 01:51:43,760 Speaker 1: to win, when you get that belief that they're going 1581 01:51:43,800 --> 01:51:47,200 Speaker 1: to win, it creates what's known as the bandwagon effect, 1582 01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:50,720 Speaker 1: and people will vote late deciders. This is why late 1583 01:51:50,800 --> 01:51:54,880 Speaker 1: breakers have a tendency to break for the eventual winner. 1584 01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:57,320 Speaker 1: Because of that bandwagon effect, everybody wants it well. I 1585 01:51:57,400 --> 01:52:00,519 Speaker 1: voted for the winner. I mean, it's totally alien people 1586 01:52:00,560 --> 01:52:04,240 Speaker 1: like us who actually have a well thought out political 1587 01:52:04,240 --> 01:52:09,280 Speaker 1: philosophy and wouldn't vote for Bill Clinton back in the 1588 01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:12,519 Speaker 1: day just because it appeared obvious in nineteen ninety six 1589 01:52:12,560 --> 01:52:14,360 Speaker 1: in the waiting days of that campaign that he was 1590 01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:18,040 Speaker 1: going to defeat Bob Dole. But people do vote like that. 1591 01:52:18,240 --> 01:52:21,320 Speaker 1: So the Sellzer poll was therefore something of a push pull. 1592 01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:24,960 Speaker 1: It was designed to impact public opinion rather than to 1593 01:52:25,120 --> 01:52:29,360 Speaker 1: actually gauge how this race was going. And the betting 1594 01:52:29,400 --> 01:52:35,200 Speaker 1: markets are sort of like a crowd sourced version of polsters, 1595 01:52:35,760 --> 01:52:38,800 Speaker 1: of polsters that have what would be a softer word 1596 01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:42,800 Speaker 1: of saying an industry that was corrupted, an industry that 1597 01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:47,679 Speaker 1: was taken over I think by political biases. And Selzer 1598 01:52:47,840 --> 01:52:51,640 Speaker 1: was just the biggest example that the worst example, the 1599 01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:55,000 Speaker 1: worst offender that I could come up with. One of 1600 01:52:55,040 --> 01:53:00,000 Speaker 1: the worst has long been Quinnipiac, which is always till 1601 01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:06,080 Speaker 1: towards Democrats. Quidipiac University or q PAC has always just 1602 01:53:06,120 --> 01:53:09,519 Speaker 1: been a very left leaning poll. And you can have 1603 01:53:09,720 --> 01:53:12,360 Speaker 1: polls that come out. I just saw a poll in 1604 01:53:12,360 --> 01:53:17,439 Speaker 1: the Wisconsin governor's race by Mandela Barnes's super pack that 1605 01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:23,200 Speaker 1: no surprise, shows Mandela Barnes trouncing the competition in the 1606 01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:27,320 Speaker 1: Democrat primary as well as trouncing Tom Tiffany, who is 1607 01:53:27,400 --> 01:53:31,160 Speaker 1: the front runner it seems for the Republican nomination in 1608 01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:35,680 Speaker 1: a general election. Oh yes, Mandela Barnes super pack. I 1609 01:53:35,840 --> 01:53:39,679 Speaker 1: definitely believe your poll that shows Mandela Barnes is an 1610 01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:45,559 Speaker 1: unbeatable candidate. No ulterior motive there. So, as we are 1611 01:53:45,600 --> 01:53:50,160 Speaker 1: now looking at these races in the past couple of weeks, 1612 01:53:50,360 --> 01:53:54,600 Speaker 1: I've been just amazed at how quickly and how mainstream 1613 01:53:55,520 --> 01:54:00,000 Speaker 1: the betting markets have gotten in terms of election analysis. 1614 01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:04,120 Speaker 1: And you could actually make a case that the betting markets, 1615 01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:07,720 Speaker 1: while they're not going to give you an accurate you 1616 01:54:07,720 --> 01:54:10,080 Speaker 1: know this guy is going to win fifty three to 1617 01:54:10,120 --> 01:54:13,120 Speaker 1: forty seven, look at the race where a pole is 1618 01:54:13,160 --> 01:54:16,120 Speaker 1: going to be much better at that. You could make 1619 01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:20,240 Speaker 1: the case that betting markets have sort of emerged as 1620 01:54:20,479 --> 01:54:24,880 Speaker 1: a way that you can more accurately get a quick 1621 01:54:24,960 --> 01:54:28,360 Speaker 1: glimpse a shorthand look into who's likely to win.
