1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: Keeping it real, keeping it right. It's a Dan O'Donnell's

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: show kittle. Here you are there, Thursday, getting dangerously close

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: to a weekend. Oh yes, need me some weekend. A

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: little bit busy this week, to say the very least.

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Coming up in just a bit, we're gonna have a

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: conversation about a huge, huge win for parental rights. The

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: Supreme Court this week blocked California's insane law requiring public

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: schools to secretly transition children without their parents' knowledge. Carrie Severino,

9
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: president of jc N, joins us in just a bit

10
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: to talk more about the landmark Mirabelli versus Bonta case,

11
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: what it all means, where we go from here. Speaking

12
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: of that, this is what the left will bring you

13
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: if the Left wins, it takes over power in the midterms,

14
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: really at any level. You remember how horrible life was

15
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: in the Biden years for so many reasons. We can

16
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: spend a very long time counting the ways. But one

17
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: of those big ways was the the constant virtue virtuos

18
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: virtual virtue signaling that turned into Na's we're going to

19
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: get that one of these days. That turned into this

20
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: agenda of re engineering society. Everything and it still is

21
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: for them. They just have been tamped down. They don't

22
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: have the power to enforce these crazy, nutty things. Because Americans,

23
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: particularly parents, who saw what was happening during COVID, got

24
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: a birdseye view of just how crazy things were in

25
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: the leftist run classrooms on the college campuses. We've learned

26
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: a lot since then, and a lot of Americans said no,

27
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: that's enough, and they voted. They voted to change all

28
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: of that. Well, midterms are very difficult times, of course,

29
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: for the party in power. There's already some doom and

30
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: gloom setting in about the Republicans losing the House. Some

31
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: talk Democrats could take the Senate. It's a long shot,

32
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: but who knows. It depends on who's motivated and who's not.

33
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: And let's face it, there are a lot of liberals

34
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: in America who are extremely motivated with their Trump derangement syndrome.

35
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: They live for this and they have a number of

36
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: ways they want to get there. But this, this is

37
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: what you can expect if the left takes control, if

38
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: they get the keys back to the vehicle USA.

39
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 2: For me, pathetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon

40
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: with my own whiteness, my own masculinity, my own certainty,

41
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: my own ego. It's a never ending process, and it's

42
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: a painful process.

43
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: It was painful listening to that, but I want you

44
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: to listen to it again because it's extremely important. This

45
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: should be. There should be a red flag for anybody

46
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: who says, you know what, I am so sick of politics.

47
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit this one out. Yeah, the Left is

48
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: just driving me insane. But I'm so fatigued and tired

49
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: with all of their protest against ice and the screaming

50
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: and the destruction and you know, the protest, the riots

51
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: in the streets. I don't want anything to do with it.

52
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: Listen to this guy again. This guy, once again is

53
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: named James tell Erico. He is now the Democrats candidate

54
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: for Senate US Senate in Texas, huge election coming up,

55
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: if he could possibly win there, and he'd say, well,

56
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: wait a minute, this is deep red state Texas. There's

57
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: no way can I submit to the record. Beto O'Rourke.

58
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: This guy is Beto O'Rourke on steroids. Listen to this again,

59
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: because this is what's coming down the pike if Democrats

60
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: take back power.

61
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: For me, pathetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon

62
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 2: with my own whiteness, my own masculinity, my own certainty,

63
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: my own ego. It's a never ending process and it's

64
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: a painful process.

65
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: It is painful. That would be very painful if we

66
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: had to go back to this. This guy has been

67
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: co opting Christianity in his run, and of course the

68
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: accomplished media is eating this up. Oh look at here,

69
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: this Marxist leftist. He's using gospel, or misusing it quite frankly,

70
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: to make a case why you don't need to vote

71
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: if you're of the Christian faith, you don't need to

72
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: vote for those conservatives, those Bible belt conservatives. This guy

73
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: has absolutely bastardized the New Testament and the faith, and

74
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: you can hear it when he says things like prophets

75
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: like Christ. Christ isn't a prophet. To Christians. Christ is

76
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: their Lord and their savior and their ticket to eternal life.

77
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: He wasn't just seeing things and half having visions. He

78
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: is the Son of God. That's what it's all about.

79
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: But this, this sister is going to sell this snake

80
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: oil to a bunch of really dumb, vulnerable people in Texas,

81
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: this race is indicative of what's ahead. And if they

82
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: get in to power, they will have guys like this

83
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: doing stuff like that. The DEE, the diversity, equity inclusion garbage,

84
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: all back in, mutilating kids at the altar of transgenderism.

85
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: You got it right back there. Medical Yeah, you just

86
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: want to talk about government, big government, Medicaid fraud. Yeah,

87
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: you ain't seen nothing yet. All kinds of stuff they

88
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: got planned. And let me tell you how they're gonna

89
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: get there. I just have a couple of minutes. You

90
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 1: can read the full story at the Federalist dot com.

91
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: I like this reporter on this story. This guy, he

92
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: gets it. Men. Here's the headline. Michigan's dirty and dead

93
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: ridden voter rolls escape scrutiny. It appears the dead will

94
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: continue to rest in peace on Michigan's dirty voter rolls.

95
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: The US Supreme Court this week summarily denied a request

96
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: to review two lower court decisions that rejected an election

97
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: integrity watchdog's lawsuit seeking to force Michigan's far left Secretary

98
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: of State Joscelyn Benson, who would very much like to

99
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: be Michigan's next governor, to remove the names of deceased

100
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: people from the voter files. It's not a handful, it's

101
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: not scores. It's thousands, tens of thousands of people who

102
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: have died, many of them years and years ago, that

103
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: still remain on the dirty voter rolls in Michigan, key

104
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: swing state, key elections coming up, center of power for

105
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: Democrats to try to get back the House, get back

106
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: into power. The Public Interest Legal Foundation did an analysis

107
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 1: of the state voter list. They identified almost twenty six

108
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: thousand likely deceased individuals registered to vote. Some of the

109
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: formerly breathing have been dead for decades. According to the

110
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: complaint of the suspect registrants, Nearly four thousand have been

111
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: dead for at least twenty years. According to the report,

112
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: one one dead guy apparently on the rolls passed in

113
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: eighteen twenty three, before Michigan became a state. Now why

114
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: do I say all of this sort of stuff, Well,

115
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: when you have dirty voter rolls, you can do a

116
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: lot of dirty things, and we have seen that from

117
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party over the years, particularly in the Trump era.

118
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: And there is real legitimate concern that the people who

119
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: have been desperately trying to get back into power to

120
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: take Donald Trump out of power and the MAGA movement

121
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: out of power. They will do anything. They are desperate

122
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: and desperate times call for dead voters. Keep your eye

123
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: on it. You get the full story once again at

124
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: the Federalist dot Com. Stay tuned. Coming up next our

125
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: conversation with Carrie Severino. She's been working and piecing through

126
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: this critical Supreme Court decision this week that blocks California's

127
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: insane law requiring public schools to secretly transition children without

128
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: their parents' knowledge. We'll talk more about that straight ahead

129
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: on this edition of The Dan o'donnald Show with your

130
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: old radio amigo, Matt Kittle, Stay with us. The devil

131
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: went down to Georgia. He was looking for a soul

132
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: to steal. He was in a bind, he was way behind.

133
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: He's willing to make a deal. Oh that's a different

134
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: fiddle song. All right, I'll bet you you son of

135
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: a gun, I'm the best that's ever been. Hey, how

136
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: are you welcome to Thursday? Kittle? Here you are there,

137
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: Glad you're along with us on the Dan o'donald Show.

138
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: Got much to do as we work through the next

139
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: couple of hours of the show. But right here right now,

140
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: let's talk about a critical Supreme Court case when it

141
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: comes to parental rights. The Supreme Court this week block

142
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: California's law requiring public schools to secretly transition children without

143
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: their parents' knowledge. We certainly have seen that story play

144
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: out in the state of Wisconsin a number of schools,

145
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: perhaps most notably the leftist enclave of Madison. Under long

146
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: established precedent, parents, not the state, have primary authority with

147
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: respect to the upbringing and education of children, the majority

148
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: said in an unsigned opinion. The right protected by these

149
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: precedents includes the right not to be shut out of

150
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: participation in decisions regarding their children's mental health, their children's

151
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: mental health, of the schools, children, the parents children. JCN

152
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: President Carrie Severino joins us now for some perspective on

153
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: the landmark Marabelli versus Bonta. Carrie, thank you so much

154
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: for being here. What a massive case this is.

155
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is incredibly exciting that the Court is continuing

156
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 3: its pattern here of both doing really closely to what

157
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 3: the Constitution requires and making sure that religious freedom rights

158
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: in particularly parental rights. We've seen that a lot in

159
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 3: the last term's case, and now so this term that

160
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 3: parental rights are being respected.

161
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: What exactly know that California is California, But what exactly

162
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: did their law, by the way, signed on the books

163
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: by a guy who would like to be the next

164
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: president of the United States, leftist governor Gavin Newsom, what

165
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: did that law entail?

166
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, their state had a policy where they were not

167
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 3: going to tell parents if their child decided they wanted

168
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: to change their gender expression at school. So they had

169
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: parents that had one of the sets of parents in

170
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 3: this case, had no idea that their child was experiencing

171
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: gender dysphorios, having these mental health issues until the child's

172
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 3: attempted suicide. Meanwhile, at school, they had been socially transitioning

173
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: to child using an opposite sex name and everything behind

174
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: the parents back. And their policy was even if parents

175
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 3: outright specifically asked the school is this happening, the school

176
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 3: was to deny it. And that is outrageous for parents,

177
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 3: who the court made very clear, these are the primary

178
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: protectors of the kids, the primary educators the kid. These

179
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 3: are the people who need to be able to have information,

180
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 3: above all things about the child's mental health and the

181
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: schools cutting them out of that, and many of them

182
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 3: raised religious freedom issues as well, saying we have the

183
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: right to direct our child's religious education. The school can't

184
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 3: be stepping in like that.

185
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,359
Speaker 1: Well, here is the arrogance of that movement in a nutshell.

186
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: I remember a few years back, and I'm sure this

187
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: was not an isolated case, but it was writing a

188
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: story about a Madison Areas school and learned from some

189
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: parents that there was a sign on an elementary school

190
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: teacher's door and it said something to the effect, if

191
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: your parents don't recognize you and love you for who

192
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: you are, I'm your parent now. And I think that

193
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: really is at the core of what has gone on,

194
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: this crazy legislation, crazy laws in California and elsewhere, taking

195
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: basic essential rights away from parents. Where do you see

196
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: all of that coming from.

197
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that type of science is really suggesting and

198
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 3: trying to drive a wedge between parents and their children's

199
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: which is the opposite of what schools are supposed to

200
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: be doing. We are funding these tools as our text.

201
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 3: We are, you know, voting for the school boards. We're

202
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: the ones who they should be representing. And I love

203
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 3: the court was very clear about that. They specifically said parents,

204
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 3: not the state, have primary authority with respect the upbringing

205
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: and education of their children. And it goes double for

206
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: the religious upbringing. You know, the state supplanting parents, it's

207
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: something that is really had been imported to our system

208
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 3: from places like communism and socialism, the idea that the

209
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: state is no better than the parents. And that's something

210
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: you know, Union love to do, right because because they

211
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: recognize the family is such a core block of society

212
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 3: deal where they will push back against the state. We

213
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: cannot allow the state to try to supplant the family,

214
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 3: and thankfully those rights are being protected now at the

215
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 3: Supreme Court.

216
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: Carrie Severino from JCN, President of JCN, You folks used

217
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: to be known for those who know your good work

218
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: over the years. It used to be the Judicial Crisis Network.

219
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: Right now you're JCM. Okay, just wanted to make sure. Yeah,

220
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: it's like KFC. You know, how long did we get

221
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: a you know, a bucket of Colonel's chicken? And now

222
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: we don't have to say the full Kentucky Fried Chicken.

223
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: We just say KFC. You said this posted this on

224
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: X following the decision. Because it's not just California lawmakers

225
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: and the executive branch. We have a judicial federal judicial branch,

226
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: an appeals court in California that allowed this to continue.

227
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: You said, the liberal Ninth Circuit disregarded the court's ruling

228
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: in Mahmood. Today, the justices reaffirmed the principles of its

229
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: landmark ruling and said that California's law substantially interferes with

230
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: the right of parents to guide the religious development of

231
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: their children. How did we get to a point where

232
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: we have any court saying, yeah, if you want to

233
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: go ahead and as a school, as a teacher, you

234
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: want to go ahead and be complicit in this secret

235
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: activity that the parents don't know about, that's just fine.

236
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is why her organizations started out talking about

237
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 3: a judicial crisis, right, because there is a real crisis

238
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 3: in the judiciary when there are judges who adopt those

239
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 3: kind of views that say, hey, the state should be

240
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 3: taking precedents over the family, that they aren't going to

241
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 3: be respecting those fundamental rights. What's almost more interesting here

242
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 3: is that a federal court in the Southern District of

243
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: California originally did say the parents should win at least

244
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 3: at this stage. Like, what was really happening here is

245
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 3: we're just saying, what is going to happen while this

246
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 3: case is being argued. Can California continue hiding this information

247
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 3: from parents across the state or do they have to

248
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: at least until this case is litigated, until we find

249
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: out for sure is this constitutional or not? Spoiler, it's

250
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: probably not right until that happens. Did they have to

251
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: put it on hold? A federal the Federal District Court

252
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: in California said yeah, you have to put this on hold.

253
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 3: This looks really fishy. And it was the Ninth Circuit,

254
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 3: which has long been one of the most liberal courts

255
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 3: in the nation because it has a lot of a

256
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: lot of people coming from California, these California senators who

257
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 3: are kind of stocking it. It was their their favorite

258
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: types of nominees. That court said, yeah, sir, this sounds

259
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 3: this sounds fine to us. What the good news is,

260
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: while this obviously was not a great decision from the

261
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 3: Ninth Circuit, today the Ninth Circuit looks a whole lot

262
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 3: better than it did, say ten years ago. We've made

263
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 3: progress there, but it's still is. You know, it's not

264
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 3: the sesspool at once was. But I wouldn't go swimming there.

265
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: Let's just say, yes, pretty dirty water like the waters

266
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: flowing around the swamp in DC. Now, a lot of

267
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 1: sewage issues they have over there, not just the swamp,

268
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: the sewer. Now, that to me, what you just talked about,

269
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: gives me hope. But then I look at the US Senate,

270
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: the do little US Senate, and the problems they've had

271
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: in getting President Trump's nominees through. If you're going to

272
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: have any chance at getting rid of or at least

273
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: lessening the impact of what I see as a judicial

274
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: coup in many circumstances out there, this Senate's going to

275
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: have to get off. It's took us, isn't it.

276
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: Well, Yeah, although there's to some extent at this point

277
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: they're working pretty effectively as compared to what they again

278
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: used to be able to do, partly because of some

279
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 3: changes that went into effect during the first Trump administration

280
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 3: in terms of not allowing home state senators to actually

281
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: veto nominees. That's part of the reason Ninth Circuit so bad,

282
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 3: as you had these California senators vetoing anyone with half

283
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 3: a brain from being on the Ninth Circuit, and so

284
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 3: you had all very liberal judges there. Now, at least

285
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 3: for the appeals courts. That has gone away, but you

286
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: know there's still the constitutional check, which is the president

287
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 3: appoints and the Senate confirms. So you still can't get

288
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 3: judges on these courts who are going to be more

289
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: conservative than the president and importantly the Senate. We often

290
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: forget that, but you know, you could have the most

291
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: conservative president who wants to appoint another one hundred Scolias

292
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 3: and Thomas's to the courts, and if you have a

293
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 3: Senate that is not willing to confirm those people, you're

294
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: out of luck. And I think that is something we

295
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 3: have to real especially you know we're going into another

296
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 3: off year, off election year. This is what determines how

297
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 3: bold the president can be in terms of appointing constitutional

298
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: conservatives to these courts. There's a lot of work still

299
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 3: to be done to improve the judiciary, and every time

300
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 3: we get someone across the finish lines, that's a life tenure.

301
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 3: So absolutely the Senate needs to keep pedals of the

302
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: metal on these and we need to remember how important

303
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 3: it is to make sure that we are electing senators

304
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: who have that as a top priority to be willing

305
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 3: to confirm the right type of judges who are going

306
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: to be faithful to the Constitution.

307
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: Final question for you, then this is a critical election year.

308
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: Some would say, once again, an existential election year. The

309
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: guy who has got twenty eight on his mind, liberal,

310
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: smarmy Governor Gavin Newsom from California is the guy who

311
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: signed this crazy law on the books. Do you think

312
00:21:54,320 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: that the Supreme Court's rejection of this and I think

313
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: the difference in America of twenty twenty six then twenty twenty,

314
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: do you think that that will ultimately cause him some

315
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: electoral problems moving forward?

316
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 3: Well, you know, we have such a divided country. I

317
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 3: think some people are going to be cheering him on

318
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 3: over this and say, heck, yeah, that's.

319
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 4: What we want.

320
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 3: I don't think that's where most of America is. I

321
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: hope that people will open their eyes and see the

322
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 3: kinds of policies that are really being advocated for. You know,

323
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: I live in Virginia where we have a Governor Spanberger

324
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: who campaigned as a nice moderate and then gets into

325
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 3: office and does absolutely crazy things.

326
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: I think I'm sorry about that too.

327
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean we're going to see this in

328
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 3: a lot of places. I hope people recognize what the

329
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 3: actual policies are from You can sound really nice and

330
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 3: make a good speech, but if this is someone who's

331
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 3: going to try to be stripping constitutional rights from parents

332
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 3: when they get into office, boy, we'd better know that

333
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: before going to the voting booth.

334
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're absolutely right. Spanberger was a leftist, is a

335
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: leftist in moderate clothing. Let me just play a quick

336
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: clip of a gentleman from Texas who is running for

337
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: Senate is in the same ilk.

338
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 2: For me, pathetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon

339
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: with my own whiteness, my own masculinity, my own certainty,

340
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: my own ego. It's a never ending process, and it's

341
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: a painful process.

342
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: What a painful process would be if conservatives lose the

343
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: Congress to people like this, You're going to get more

344
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,959
Speaker 1: laws like this. Even though the Court has said what

345
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: it said, there's going to be a constant effort to

346
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: push in this crazy nonsense moving forward. Carrie, thanks so

347
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: much for your time and your expertise. I very much appreciated.

348
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: Have a great days you too, JC and President Carrie

349
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: Severino joining us for a little perspective on the Supreme

350
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: Court's slapdown of the insane California law requiring public schools

351
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: to secretly transitioned children without their parents' knowledge. That was

352
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: the thing that really struck me when I was looking

353
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: into this issue in a number of schools across Wisconsin

354
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: in the country, and that sentiment, that sign from that

355
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: liberal teacher that said, if your parents don't accept you

356
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 1: for the gender you think you are, second grader, I'm

357
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 1: your mama now as hideous. That's a hideous thought. And

358
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: this Supreme Court ruling slap that notion back. The fight

359
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: goes on. We'll take a quick break. Coming up in

360
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: the next hour, a conversation with Congressman in style. I

361
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: hope you will stay with us the Thursday edition of

362
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: the Dan O'donnald Show with yours truly, Matt Kitt'll hang on.

363
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back thrill seekers to our number two of our

364
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: little get together on this Thursday, March sixth, twenty twenty six,

365
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: in the year of Our Lord. What did I say sixth?

366
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: I guess I desperately want to I want to get

367
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: to Friday, don't I I desperately want to get to Friday.

368
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: I'm screwing up the schedule, good thing, and I'll have

369
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: to write a check today I'm still writing twenty three

370
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: on those things. Yes, thank you, sir. That's why Eric Paulson,

371
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: our extraordinary producer, is here and he's doing yeomen's work,

372
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: to say the very least, keeping this guy on the

373
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: straight and narrow. Yes, it is March fifth, tomorrow Friday

374
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: will be March six. That's what I have my eye on.

375
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: As Bretta used to say, keep your eye on the sparrow,

376
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: and that has nothing to do with what we just

377
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: talked about. It's just the fact that Beretta was taking

378
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: a lot of cocaine at that time and mishandling firearms.

379
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: If I recall, right, keep your eye yeah, yeah, yay

380
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: on the sparrow. You remember that one. Perhaps it's best

381
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: to leave it in the past. Yes, Kit, I don't know.

382
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: I didn't take the full pill today. The doctor has said,

383
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: don't break off the pills. Take the whole pill. Fair enough,

384
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: you live and you'll learn. Yes, Matt Kittle, your radio

385
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: talk show host Phil and Daddy doing just that, and

386
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 1: the Dan O'donnalds show on this Thursday, We've got to

387
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: We've got much coming up in this four o'clock hour,

388
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: including a conversation with Congress Brian Style, that's right, representing

389
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 1: the fighting first Congressional District of Wisconsin. He's also chairman

390
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: of the Houses Overseeing Administration Committee. They're in charge of

391
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: election reform and something else that I think is extremely

392
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: interesting that we'll talk about as well. They're in charge

393
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: of a bill that would stop congress members of Congress

394
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 1: from engaging in insider trading. That'd be nice, wouldn't it.

395
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: See there are a lot of perks that people don't

396
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: fully understand about being a member of Congress. You get

397
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: a sweetheart salary, you get the travel all over the place,

398
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: not on your bill. You get all kinds of perks.

399
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: You have a Cadillac health insurance plan and retirement. Oh

400
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: it's good, it's good. But there are other benefits as well.

401
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: You see, you can sit on a committee and talk

402
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: to people in business all over the place, and they

403
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: might tell you in those closed door sessions of conversations,

404
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: hey you better take a look at our stock. It's

405
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: about to go up because we're gonna do X and

406
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: then we're gonna do Y. And the congressman the senator

407
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: can say, oh, that's very interesting, thank you for that information,

408
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: and then immediately once the gentleman leaves get on the

409
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: phone and say hey, Murray, Yeah, this is Jim. I

410
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: got a tip today and I'm gonna go along on

411
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: Shreveport stockings. Get all of that what I've gotten to

412
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: Shreveport stockings. It's about to burst. Yeah. See that's a problem.

413
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi has made a mint on this practice, and

414
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: she's not alone. Anyway. We'll talk a little bit more

415
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: about that with the Congressman Brian's Style coming up right

416
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: around four forty or so. Also a little bit later,

417
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: I want to delve into some interesting mechanics going on

418
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. Not so much behind the scenes anymore.

419
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: There's in Trump endorsement that is on the line in

420
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 1: a huge Senate race, and there is a lot of

421
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: stuff going on behind that that actually ties into what

422
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: we have been talking about. What we will talk about

423
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: with Congressman Style, and that is the Save America Act,

424
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: the legislation that does a couple of simple, basic, and

425
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: most importantly republic saving things, a couple of things that

426
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: are absolutely essential to free and elections. It is the

427
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: ultimate election integrity bill, and so much is riding on it.

428
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: But it says, if you are a non citizen you

429
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: can't vote in US elections. Oh, I know the left

430
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: will tell you yet, Well they can't already. You know,

431
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: it's already against the law. It's already a felon if

432
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: they do that. Yeah, you know what it's all about.

433
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: Here's what the current system is. You check a box

434
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: to say that you are a US citizen and you

435
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: can vote in that election. That's it. It's an honor system.

436
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: And for folks who are already breaking the law coming

437
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: into this country illegally. And on top of that, there's

438
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: a you know, sizable percentage of people coming into the

439
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: country illegally that have committed all kinds of horrible crimes. Now,

440
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: what's going to stop them from voting in an election?

441
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: Helped out, of course by those very very helpful private

442
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: good government groups on the left, on the far left,

443
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: very very much interested in ultimately legalizing non citizens voting

444
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: in elections. Anyway, there's a lot of stuff going on

445
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: with that. We'll talk about it later this hour, but

446
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: let us begin here because Christy Nome, we hardly knew you,

447
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: that's right. The breaking news this afternoon, and there's been

448
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: a lot of breaking news, to say the very least

449
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: is that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome embattled

450
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: DHS Secretary. Christy Nome is DHS Secretary no more Fox News,

451
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: all kinds of media outlets reporting Christinome, the former South

452
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: Dakota congresswoman and governor who has led President Donald Trump's

453
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security in his second term, was ousted

454
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: from her position on Thursday. That's how it is being described,

455
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: and there's a good deal of truth in that that

456
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: verb ousted. Trump announced on truth Social that he will

457
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: nominate Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, Republican from Oklahoma, to replace Nome,

458
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: effective March thirty first, Mark Wayne Mullen. We're going to

459
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: name our first child, Mark Wayne. And then we didn't.

460
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: The current Secretary, Christy Nome, who has served us well

461
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: and has had numerous and spectacular results, especially on the border,

462
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: will be moving to be Special Envoy for the Shield

00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: We are announcing on Saturday in durral Florida. I thank

465
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: Christy for her service at Homeland. That was a message

466
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: on truth Social by the President of the United States,

467
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: and a lot of folks are saying, if you can

468
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: read between the lines. I don't know. We can here

469
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: what the President is saying. Don't let the door hit

470
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: you on the way out. In her first official statement

471
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: on X following her departure, nom thanked Trump for her

472
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: upcoming appointment. Secretary Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete

473
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: Hegseth are incredible leaders and I look forward to working

474
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs

475
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren. Nome

476
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: posted on X talking about her upcoming new position, the

477
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: details of which will be further explained coming up over

478
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: the weekend. I know that my good friend and a

479
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: gentleman who joined us on the show yesterday, Breck and

480
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: Thieves are a federalist. White House correspondent, Pentagon's correspondent was

481
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: in Florida today and they were talking about this evolving

482
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: new cabinet agency that's about to be created. The Western Hemisphere,

483
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: Nome said, is absolutely critical for US security. In this

484
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: new role, I will be able to build on partnerships

485
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: and national security expertise. You know, the usual stunt Trump

486
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: and Mullen. Trump said, Mullen has done a tremendous job

487
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: in Congress and cited his resume as a former undefeated

488
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: MMA fighter. Yes, you got to be a fighter in Washington,

489
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: DC and sometimes literally. Did you see the clip of

490
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: Tim Shahey, the senator, big guy who helped break up

491
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: a rowdy character before a Senate hearing yesterday, Maybe we'll

492
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: play the clip of that. Let me tell you it

493
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: did not end well for the guy who's a marine.

494
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: Sad to see, he's also a Green Party candidate. He

495
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: hates the war in Iran. He's not alone on that accord.

496
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: There are a number of people who hate that as well.

497
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: But it would seem to me that he hates a

498
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: lot of things that Donald Trump is doing regardless as

499
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: a member of the Green Party, and he decided to

500
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: shout out, you know a lot of things during this

501
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: hearing yesterday, And while he was being forcibly removed, he

502
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: kept coming back for an encore tough to take down

503
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: that marine, there's no doubt about it. And the optics

504
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: weren't real good either, but yeah, all of a sudden,

505
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: he's trying to get back in, he gets his arm

506
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: caught in the door, and that's where things got auchy.

507
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: The videos out there everywhere Ullan is the first Native American.

508
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: By the way, he's the first Native American Senator in decades,

509
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: following Senator Ben Knighthrace Campbell of Colorado. He appeared just

510
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 1: as caught off guard by the announcement as the rest

511
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 1: of Washington. The scuttle butt behind the scenes is that

512
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: the President has not been real happy with Christy Nome,

513
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: particularly of late a couple of things. He wasn't crazy

514
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: about her testimony in Congress about what is happening, what

515
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: has happened at the Department of Homeland Security, particularly as

516
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: it relates to immigration and Customs enforcement border patrol. Obviously,

517
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: this has been a major issue and an issue that

518
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:03,959
Speaker 1: the Left has tried to arley into electoral success. We'll

519
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: see how that plays out later this year, but there

520
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: have been some gaffes, and knowing some sources at DHS,

521
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: there have been a lot of conversation about a number

522
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: of things involving Christinome's leadership, not the least of which,

523
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 1: by the way, are some pretty salacious rumors that, according

524
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: to some sources, at least they say have been confirmed

525
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: by watching it. On that topic, we learn today that

526
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 1: Corey Lewandowski will be leaving DHS as well, not that

527
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: those two things are related, or are they. I don't

528
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:58,240
Speaker 1: know AnyWho. That's it for Christino homes in the DHS.

529
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 1: The surprised Senator Mullen, Mark Wayne Mullen will have a

530
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: few days to get set and ready to go, and

531
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: then his governor in Oklahoma, a Republican, a Rhino at that,

532
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: will then have the opportunity to appoint his successor to

533
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,479
Speaker 1: fill out his term. Oh won't that be fun. One

534
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: more thing before we get to a quick break and

535
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: get caught up on business, and that is this, mister Gonzalez.

536
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: We'd like you to leave now. We've already said.

537
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 3: So long.

538
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: Congressman Gonzalez speaking a salacious This is more trouble. It's

539
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: more trouble.

540
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 3: See.

541
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: This is why it doesn't matter what side of the

542
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: isle it is. Politicians will always do really creepy things,

543
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: and some have a really difficult time keeping things in

544
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: their pants. House GOP leaders have asked embattled Representative Tony Gonzalez,

545
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: Republican from Texas, to drop his bid for reelection. This story,

546
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: as Paul Harvey used to say, it's a strange. The

547
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: Ethics Committee has announced an investigation into Congressman Tony Gonzalez's conduct,

548
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: and we urge them to act expeditiously. That means right there, hey,

549
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: get on the ball. Congressman Gonzalez has said he will

550
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: fully cooperate with the investigation. Statement by Speaker Mike Johnson

551
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: and other top Republican reads, mister Gonzalez, you've lost the House.

552
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 1: We have encouraged him to address these serious, very serious

553
00:39:55,760 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: allegations directly with his constituents and his colleagues. In the meantime,

554
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: leadership has asked Congressman Gonzalez to withdraw from the race

555
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: for re election because his conduct or alleged conduct, looks

556
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: really bad. Gonzalez's reelection bid has been plagued by scandal

557
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 1: for weeks, ever since allegations emerged. Here it comes that

558
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: he had an affair with his late aid and sent

559
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: her sexually explicit text messages his pseudonym Carlos Danger no no, no,

560
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: no different guy, altogether the same aid, Regina Santos Aviles.

561
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: This is horrible. This story gets worse and worse and worse.

562
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: And I want to buffer you for this because this

563
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: is not just you know, a sexual scandal in Congress.

564
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: This is a merry Joe Kapecne kind of thing, Kennedy

565
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: kind of thing. If you remember this, the aid committed

566
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: suicide by setting herself on fire outside her home late

567
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: last year. Dear Lord, National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson,

568
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 1: leader of the House GOP campaign ARM, told Fox News Digital,

569
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 1: I agree with the Speaker and the rest of leadership.

570
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: Tony should withdraw from the runoff and allow the ethics

571
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: process to move forward while focusing on his family and

572
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: serving his constituents for the remainder of his term. Well,

573
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: it seems like the focus on the family is little lacking,

574
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: to say the least. Stay tuned. There is definitely more

575
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 1: on this story coming up. More on the mechanics of

576
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:55,720
Speaker 1: passing the Save America Act straight ahead on this Thursday

577
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: edition with the Dan O'donnalds Show. With yours truly, Matt Kittle,

578
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: stay with us. I am zam Fear, master of the

579
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: pan Flute. Thank you for joining us today. Think I

580
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 1: can pull that off? Eric Zamfiar, Well, I'll tell you

581
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: what made my late nights something else back in the day,

582
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: and I could hear those commercials the best of zam

583
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: Fear It his magic flute. At least that's what he

584
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: called it. Anyway, he's into naming things.

585
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 4: Kittle.

586
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 1: Here you are there in the Dan O'Donnells Show, Thursday

587
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: edition coming up in just a few minutes. Congressman Brian

588
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 1: Style from the Fighting first Congressional District. He is chair

589
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: of the Administration Committee, and we're going to talk all

590
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 1: about the Save America Act, the Election Integrity Bill of

591
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 1: of all. I mean, really, at the end of the day,

592
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: this really could go a long way in making sure

593
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: that the fundamental thing that we all should agree on

594
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: is in place, that confidence comes back. Neo elections, free

595
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: in fair elections are truly back in play. No more shenanigans,

596
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 1: no more nonsense, no more working to bring in ineligible voters.

597
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that coming up in just a bit.

598
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: The headline this hour, speaking of the Save America Act,

599
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: it's all tied in together, but some of the machinations

600
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: going on behind the scenes very interesting. The headline this

601
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: hour from the Federalist, you can read it at the

602
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: Federalist dot com is this Trump despises rhinos. So why

603
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 1: is he reportedly about to endorse one of the Swamp's biggest.

604
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 1: It goes a little something like this. If President Donald

605
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: Trump is looking for a senator who embodies the spirit

606
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: and action of Republican in name only, he couldn't find

607
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: He couldn't find a better man than milk toast. Texas

608
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: Senator John Cornyn, the four term Rhino locked in a

609
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 1: contentious GOP primary runoff battle against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton,

610
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: boasts a storied senate career of genuflecting at the altar

611
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: of the swamp. Cornan has been begging for Trump's platinum

612
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: endorsement more shamelessly than he's prostituted himself for establishment cash,

613
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: and it's looking like he might get the President's seal

614
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: of approval if you can believe the Trump hating Atlantic

615
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: and other prov depressed publications. President Trump's political advisors expect

616
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 1: him to endorse Senator John Cornyn in Texas's May twenty

617
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: six Republican primary runoff election, following the incumbents better than

618
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: expected finish against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the

619
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: first round of voting. Tuesday, three people briefed on the

620
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: deliberations told us the Atlantics, Michael Shear and Ashley Parker

621
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: wright is that to publish today. It doesn't matter. That's

622
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: what all the talk is. Anyway, Republican strategists, the corporate

623
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: reporters assert hope the endorsement will make the Texas Senate

624
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 1: race less expensive and less competitive. So there's a lot

625
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: of concern from the establishment that Ken Paxton has. He's

626
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: got a few things. I wouldn't say skeletons in his closets,

627
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: because the skeletons are all out, and we were talking

628
00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: about scandals and things like. That's dealing with his own

629
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: But one thing conservatives in Texas tell me, and what

630
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: I gather from that very very heated and contentious race,

631
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: is that the core of the conservative movement, the grassroots,

632
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: they far in a way, want to see paxst and

633
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: win the thing. They do not want another six years,

634
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: a fifth sixth year term by John Cornyan, who has

635
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: done everything he can to be a company man. They

636
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 1: don't want to see that anymore. This is the guy

637
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 1: who helped John Thune and Glitchen Mitch McConnell back in

638
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: twenty two come up with a very gun control lobby

639
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 1: friendly restriction on Second Amendment rights. That's the kind of

640
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:10,719
Speaker 1: guy John Cornyn is. He's also been very vocal in

641
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: his support for the Save America Act, the aforementioned Save

642
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: America Act, but sources say that he didn't want to

643
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: see this thing come up for a vote because that

644
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: might be difficult for him in a Texas general election anyway.

645
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: So as of the last hour, a lot of folks

646
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: were hearing that President Trump was going to endorse Cornyn

647
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: and he was a little upset that Ken Paxton said, well,

648
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: endorsement or not, I'm staying in this race. Trump said,

649
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: in his usual Trump style, that's bad, and maybe I'm

650
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: just gonna throw my endorsement over to somebody right now.

651
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: As of yet, that hasn't happened. There are a lot

652
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: of conservatives saying, woo, hold up, and they're saying that

653
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: in large part because Cornon is not just a rhino.

654
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: He has also had all kinds of issues supporting the

655
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: president and wanted to it seemed, dance on his political

656
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: grave after the first term, when Donald Trump faced a

657
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: lot of the multi front assault lawfare assault we all

658
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: know about right now here is the thing. Trump hates rhinos,

659
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: and rightfully so, he said so many many times. Just

660
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 1: ask Indiana's pathetic in quotes State Senate State Senate rhinos

661
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: who got a collective tummy ache over a midterm redistricting

662
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: bill pushed by Trump that would have boosted GOP membership

663
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 1: in a wafer thin Republican majority House. Meanwhile, Democrats are

664
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 1: redrawing blue state maps left and left they get a

665
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: leg up on the midterms. You see, that's the thing

666
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: these Republicans. They keep saying, well, we have to stand

667
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: by our principles, and without our principles, there's nothing. You

668
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: are not going to be re elected. You are out

669
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: of power. The Supreme Court said you can do this.

670
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: They said that to California, which has already one of

671
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: the most jerry mandered states for Democrats there is, and

672
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: now they've decided to change their principled way of redrawing

673
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 1: maps every decade and turn it into a leftist free

674
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: for all. Yeah, Texas did it. You bet they did

675
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: it because they could. California followed suits and other Republican

676
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,040
Speaker 1: states said okay, well we're going to get it and

677
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: on the act. And then they said, well, jeez, if

678
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,919
Speaker 1: we do this, we could start this horrible redistricting war.

679
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: And well, if the Democrats are gonna do it, fine,

680
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: but we have to stand by our principles, and then

681
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:21,439
Speaker 1: they stand by their principles as they're walking out Congress door.

682
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: You can ask John Cornan, by the way. In twenty

683
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: twenty two, Trump blasted Cornyn for bowing alongside then Senate

684
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to the invidious gun control lobby,

685
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: the aforementioned deal, and another thing. Trump loves loyalty. We

686
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,280
Speaker 1: should all know that by now right, he's been pretty

687
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: clear on that. I mean, he really loves loyalty. It

688
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: is perhaps his most defining leadership requisite, responsible for the

689
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:02,720
Speaker 1: President's unprecedented politicals se excesses and some of his head

690
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: scratching foibles. Cornan is as loyal to Trump and the

691
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: MAGA movement as he is to five dollars donors. That

692
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 1: is to say, not much. Cornan and his establishment pals

693
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 1: have prematurely written Trump's political obituary too many times to trust.

694
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, as Trump was mired in a

695
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: multi front leftist warfare campaign to keep him off the

696
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: ballot and put him in prison, Cornan was writing off

697
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: the GOP's eventual nominee and walking away from him when

698
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 1: Trump needed him most a couple of quotes. By the way,

699
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: you want to go on the way back machine, and

700
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: I always do. I think President Trump's time has passed

701
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: him by. Cornan claimed in twenty twenty three. I don't

702
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 1: think President Trump understands that when you run in a

703
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,800
Speaker 1: general election, you have to appeal to voters beyond your base.

704
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: You know, in politics, unless you can win an election,

705
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: then you're pretty much irrelevant. Cornan later said I have

706
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: concerns about the President's ability to win. In November. Coryn's

707
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:21,280
Speaker 1: political instincts, of course, were as shaky as his loyalty.

708
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: Suffice to say, the senator's comments didn't age well, Defying

709
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: the odds and a political silencing campaign like no other.

710
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:35,479
Speaker 1: Trump won in twenty twenty four, and he won big

711
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: lee when he did. Guess who was back to curry

712
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: political favor. That's right, Rhino John. And it goes on

713
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 1: and on and on again. This is a guy who

714
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: has repeatedly stymied the Trump agenda. He and his Rhino

715
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: pals in the Senate have done very little to advance

716
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 1: the executive orders that the President has signed and moved

717
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: them into law. And he's a guy that recently talked

718
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: about wanting to return to the Senate so he could

719
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 1: work on an amnesty bill.

720
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 4: M hm.

721
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: All this trouble we're going through right now to clean

722
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: up the messes of the previous four years of the

723
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: Biden administration, the Auto Pen presidency. This guy wants to

724
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: undo all of the cleanup work. I hope that the president,

725
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 1: who has exhibited a lot of good judgment in a

726
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 1: lot of good policy over the last several years in

727
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 1: this country. I do hope he reconsiders he has not

728
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: endorsed at this point. Maybe that is still Sage strategy.

729
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: Let it play out however it's going to do in

730
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: this runoff. But standing behind a rhino will get you

731
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: the horn every time. All right, we're gonna talk a

732
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: little bit more about some of the stuff surrounding this

733
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: straight ahead. Congressman Brian Style, first District Congressman Wisconsin, joins

734
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: us next to talk about the Save America Act. Stay

735
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: right where you are. It's Matt Kittle, year old radio

736
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: amigo here on the Dan O'donnald Show. Here's what you do.

737
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: You do a little dance, you make a little love,

738
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: you get down tonight. I can save it up for Friday.

739
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: I understand, but we're getting close and that feels good. Hey,

740
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: I got that Friday mindset. Believe me. Weekend can't get

741
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 1: here soon enough. Well, let's ask the important question, because

742
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: it is an existential question. I think, who will save

743
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: the Save America Act? Congress? He's been Brian's Style, Republican

744
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: representing Wisconsin's fighting first congressional district, also Chairman of the

745
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 1: House is overseeing Administration committee, joins us with the latest

746
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,359
Speaker 1: from the swamp. Good afternoon, sir, Thank you so much

747
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: for joining us.

748
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 4: Good afternoon, Thanks for having me on.

749
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: Before we get to the Save Act, and we got

750
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to do on that front. But

751
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to you about today's critical vote

752
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: in the House. Apparently enough Democrats said, you know what,

753
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: with a war in Iran and the last administration's open

754
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: door policy that let a number of terrorists on the

755
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: watch list into this country, perhaps it's a good idea

756
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: to have a fully funded Department of Homeland Security. How

757
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,240
Speaker 1: did that go down, because as I understand it, forty

758
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: four Democrats still voted against it.

759
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 4: Well, this is where the spending process in Washington, d C.

760
00:55:55,800 --> 00:56:00,959
Speaker 4: Is so absolutely broken. We should not be shutting down

761
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 4: our federal government period full stop. It's not helpful, it's

762
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 4: not productive. The spending process is completely busted. But then

763
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 4: when you look at where the national radical Democrats want

764
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,120
Speaker 4: to take this country, you see it very clearly where

765
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 4: they're voting against funding the Department of Homeland Security. The

766
00:56:19,160 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 4: department charge was keeping the homeland stafe and at a

767
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 4: period of time after millions of individuals came into the

768
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:29,800
Speaker 4: country unchecked during the Biden administration, float into the United

769
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,919
Speaker 4: States at a period of heightened risk based on what's

770
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 4: taking place right now in the Middle East, knowing that

771
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 4: Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism around the

772
00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 4: globe and would love to do harm to the United States.

773
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 4: This is the absent moment where a vote to fund

774
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 4: and make sure that the men and women on the

775
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 4: front lines or the Department of Homeland Security are getting

776
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 4: paid should pass unanimously. But it doesn't because it shows

777
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 4: you exactly where radical Democrats are and House representatives in

778
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 4: across the country.

779
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: Just amazing. And now we pivot, of course to the

780
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: underpinning of all of this, and that is election integrity.

781
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 1: To make sure that we have confidence in our elections.

782
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: So that the people who are elected are actually officially

783
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 1: elected to do whatever they're going to do, shut down

784
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: the government or whatever it is. We just want to

785
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:23,000
Speaker 1: know that there's a legitimate outcome there. You folks in

786
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,920
Speaker 1: the House have done your job repeatedly. You have passed

787
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: the Save Act a number of times. And he passed

788
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: the Save America Act in a way where it goes

789
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: to the Republican controlled Senate as a markup, which means

790
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 1: that they have to prioritize this. But it seems like

791
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: that's too much to ask because what they're going to

792
00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: need to do is do some work. What are you

793
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: hearing now in the Senate on where all of this

794
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: is at and where it's going.

795
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 4: Well, for the same reason, our nations let's secure from

796
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 4: a national security perspective because of the Biden broken border.

797
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 4: Our elections are less secure because of the Biden broken border.

798
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 4: It is why you need to pass the Same America Act.

799
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 4: Two key principles. One, only US citizens should be voting

800
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 4: in US elections, and you should verify that when an

801
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 4: individual registers to vote. And two you need to show

802
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 4: photo identification that you are who you say you are.

803
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 4: Basic core common sense election integrity principles, we pass this

804
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 4: through the House. The Conservatives in the House have shown

805
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 4: time and again that we can move legislation that's essential

806
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 4: for this country. It's frustrating to many of us in

807
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 4: the House that the Senate has not yet moved this forward.

808
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 4: There's a large debate. Is the Senate going to break

809
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 4: the filibuster? Are we going to pass legislation with fifty

810
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 4: votes plus one, or are we going to continue to

811
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 4: allow the sixty vote threshold to continue. We'll see how

812
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 4: the Senate plays this out, but I think it's absolutely

813
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 4: essential that we force the vote in the Senate. Let

814
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 4: the chips fall, Let's put pressure on the Senate to

815
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 4: actually pass this because this is common sense legislation that

816
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 4: we have a huge opportunity with to actually make sure

817
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 4: that we're moving this forward and getting this done to

818
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 4: the American people in advance of the November election.

819
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: Are you hearing what I'm hearing about some Republicans in

820
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: the Senate, just a handful. There are a couple, obviously,

821
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 1: who have come out and said we don't want to

822
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: see this bill become a law for reasons that are

823
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: odd to me, that don't make any sense. Why wouldn't

824
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:32,080
Speaker 1: you want what eighty percent of the voters want and

825
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: voter verification. But that said, there are a number there

826
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: are some Republicans in the Senate who have been very

827
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: vocal in their support of the bill, but do not

828
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: want to have to deal with the talking filibuster, the

829
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: hard work that that will take, the potentially weeks that

830
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: this would string out the process. They say, well, we

831
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: have more important things to do. They're not passing anything

832
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: of you know, measure anyway. Have you heard that there

833
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 1: are some senators who would rather see this thing go away?

834
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: Have John Thune said, well, we tried, but sorry, can't

835
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: do anything about it.

836
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 4: Democrats, Yeah, we hear the parliamentary procedure arguments from the

837
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 4: Senate time and again. I think that's what frustrates a

838
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 4: lot of us. We want to see action, we want

839
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 4: to see results. We have a moment in time where

840
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 4: we control the United States Senate, the House Representatives, and

841
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 4: the presidency. The Conservatives are united behind driving this agenda forward.

842
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 4: But it seems time and again there's a small number

843
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 4: of folks in the Senate that have hit this and

844
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 4: caused us to hit a roadblock. A lot has been

845
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 4: done so we looked the one big, beautiful bill. We

846
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 4: were able to drive that forward with only Republican votes.

847
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 4: We've confirmed people into essential positions in this administration. We

848
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 4: hold the Supreme Court with conservatives, and we know we

849
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 4: will continue to do that as President Trump is in

850
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 4: office and Republicans hold the United States Senate. But it

851
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 4: is frustrating when the gymnastics of parliamentary procedure getting the

852
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 4: way from real and substantive progress. There's two things we

853
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 4: can think about. One, apply pressure to the Senate to

854
01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 4: make sure that these things get across the line. In two,

855
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 4: elect more conservative Republicans to the United States Senate so

856
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 4: we never have this type of a problem in the future.

857
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 1: Amen. Amen to that. Now. You have been taking this

858
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 1: Save America Act a step farther, not too long ago,

859
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: you introduced a bill I believe it's called the Mega Act,

860
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: or you should say, the Make Elections Great Again Bill,

861
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: and that includes a number of provisions on election integrity,

862
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: election security. If you could, what else is in that

863
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: beyond voter verification? And where does that bill stand today?

864
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,439
Speaker 4: We introduced the megabill Mega Elections Great Again because it's

865
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 4: my belief that we have to have comprehensive of election

866
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 4: integrity reform to secure our elections and give Americans confidence

867
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,479
Speaker 4: in our election system. We absolutely need the two key

868
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 4: provisions in the Save America Act. We do need citizenship

869
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 4: verification in photo ID, but I think we have to

870
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 4: go a long ways beyond that. I think you need

871
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 4: paper ballots that are auditible. I think you need to

872
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 4: ban rank choice voting and ban ballot harvesting. I think

873
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 4: you need to have elections and on election day, I

874
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 4: think you need to make sure that we are cleaning

875
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 4: up our voter roles. In a host of other provisions

876
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 4: are needed. The Mega Act is as it sounds, It

877
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 4: is the comprehensive reforms that are needed. It builds on

878
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 4: the two provisions of the Save America Act and says, yes,

879
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 4: we do need those, but in fact, if we're going

880
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 4: to clean this up and make our elections the gold

881
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 4: standard that they should be, here are the reforms that

882
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 4: are needed. And I think what we have as an

883
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 4: opportunity here with President Trump at the White House, who

884
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 4: was acutely attuned to the exact challenges we face in

885
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 4: elections and the need to reform them, that this is

886
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 4: our moment in time to substantively fix US elections so

887
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 4: that Americans once again have full confidence in the results

888
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 4: we see as tallied on election night.

889
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely and with a big election night coming up, extremely

890
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: consequential in November, more important than ever that the Congress

891
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: moves on all of this stuff. I wish we had

892
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 1: some more time because I really wanted to get into

893
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: another piece of legislation you have, and I think so

894
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: many Americans are glad to hear it, glad to see it.

895
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 1: It's about insider trading in Congress. We're up against the clock,

896
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 1: but we will definitely have to have you back on

897
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: soon to talk a little bit more about that.

898
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 4: Okay, look forward to it. Thanks for having me.

899
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: You bet. Congressman Brian's style representing the fine folks in

900
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 1: the fighting first Congressional district, talking about how we go

901
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 1: about saving this republic. You know how you do it?

902
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 1: Pass the damn Save America Act. Eighty percent of the

903
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 1: American voters want to see this. They want to see

904
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: election integrity laws that actually deliver election integrity. How about that?

905
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 3: All right?

906
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: I got to take a quick break five o'clock hours

907
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: straight ahead in the Dan O'Donnell Show with Matt Kittle,

908
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Hang on, did somebody say poltato o'lays? Oh, it's always fun.

909
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: The conversations you have that aren't on the air, the

910
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 1: vast majority of them should never, including rough times at

911
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: death con two?

912
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 4: Is that right?

913
01:04:50,800 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: Eric Paulson aur excellent producer. No comments otherwise, Hello, how

914
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: are you? Thrill seekers? Welcome back to the third and

915
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 1: final hour of this Thursday edition of The Dan O'Donnell

916
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: Show with your radio talk show host Phil and Daddy

917
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: Matt Kittle. How are you? We got a few things

918
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 1: we need to take care of. This hour going to

919
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: get into a couple of things. I'm not going to

920
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 1: have a chance to do it today. I wish I did,

921
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 1: because I think there are a lot of people in

922
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,480
Speaker 1: the state of Wisconsin that are confused, and I am

923
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: one of them. By what the hell is going on

924
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: with this sports betting legislation? Seems like a tug of

925
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: war going on between the tribes, which of course have

926
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: the exclusive right in the state of Wisconsin at the

927
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 1: constitution to run casinos, gambling operations, what have you. And

928
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:59,320
Speaker 1: now there's this whole plan to expand to bring into

929
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Wisconsin statewide sports betting and the sports betting industry is

930
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: ticked off about this, as far as I understand it,

931
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 1: for some reasons. Absolutely, I get it. There is the

932
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: concern about the monopoly. There definitely is the concern about

933
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: Tony Evers negotiating a deal that goes on for a

934
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: long time. Now, what could possibly go wrong with Tony

935
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: Evers negotiating a deal that goes on for oh, I

936
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: don't know, four hundred years. Well, check your property tax bill.

937
01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 1: You'll see exactly what can go wrong when that happens. Anyway,

938
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 1: the other side obviously says, well, wait a minute. These guys,

939
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: the sport betting industry, you know, they want to control everything,

940
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: and you won't get your money here, and with Wisconsin

941
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: they're going to be out of state, all these sorts

942
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: of things. I wanted to get a clearer understanding of

943
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: what is going on. I know I've talked to a

944
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:11,680
Speaker 1: number of folks who feel the same way. They're also

945
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: very concerned about some backroom deals that are going on

946
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: that shouldn't be going on. And anyway, that's a topic

947
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 1: perhaps for tomorrow, and we'll see what we can do

948
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: on that front. Let us begin here, though, I mean

949
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: right here, what is that by the way. Oh, it

950
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: is some breaking news on the voting front. As we

951
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 1: told you about earlier today. Last hour, the House passed

952
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: a measure, how about this, to fund the Department of

953
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 1: Homeland Security. That's a good idea, it really is to

954
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: fully fund the Department of Homeland Security, you know, with

955
01:07:55,960 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: your Transportation Security Administration, with your FEMA, your Emergency Agency,

956
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 1: your cyber security intelligence, all of that sort of stuff,

957
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: and a lot of law enforcement law related officials tied

958
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 1: to it, not necessarily ice or border patrol, but so

959
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 1: many people depending on a functioning government, and it's particularly

960
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: important to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security when

961
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: the homeland is under increased threat. And I think enough

962
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 1: Democrats got that through their thick skulls today that they

963
01:08:39,240 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: voted in favor of fully funding the DHS. It took

964
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 1: long enough, but we're here. The House passed the measure

965
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 1: to fund the Department of Homeland Security this afternoon, but

966
01:08:51,640 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: Senate Democrats blocked similar legislation across the Capital, meaning the

967
01:08:57,080 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 1: partial government shut down that's right, will continue for now.

968
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 1: So you're not out of the woods yet, but at

969
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:09,400
Speaker 1: least enough Democrats in the House got it passed. There

970
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,639
Speaker 1: forty four Democrats, as I understand it, said, no, don't

971
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: worry about the thousands of people who are either actually

972
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: on terrorist watch list or part of a terror nexus,

973
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 1: or just really hate America. Don't worry about that while

974
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 1: the war in Iran is going on, because what we're

975
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: really concerned about is we want to stop the law

976
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 1: enforcement officers who are enforcing immigration law. We don't want

977
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:49,879
Speaker 1: them to do their jobs anymore. I mean literally, they'll

978
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,400
Speaker 1: tell you that it's well, we want reforms in there

979
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: because this agency is out of control, they've killed people.

980
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: Of course, what they all always refuse to mention is

981
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 1: what they really want is no law enforcement whatsoever. These

982
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 1: are the same people that brought you the defund the police.

983
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 1: These are the same people obviously in Milwaukee, as we

984
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 1: talked about yesterday. They want to abolish ice. They don't

985
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: want any cooperation with local law enforcement officials to bring

986
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 1: in violent, criminal, illegal immigrants. It's a very dangerous world.

987
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: Lawmakers shouldn't make it more dangerous any who. The House

988
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: approved the measure to fund DHS through September in a

989
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 1: two one hundred twenty one to two hundred nine vote,

990
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:51,599
Speaker 1: so you got about what half a year and then

991
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: it's back to this stupidity again. Earlier in the day,

992
01:10:56,280 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 1: the Senate voted fifty one to forty five to move forward,

993
01:11:00,840 --> 01:11:03,719
Speaker 1: failing for a third time to reach a sixty vote

994
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 1: threshold needed to advance. Good lord, listen, I understand the

995
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 1: filibuster is critical to stop insane legislation, and there's clearly

996
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: a lot of insane legislation, aren't there, because frankly, there

997
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: are a lot of insane lawmakers out there. But you

998
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: can't get to a sixty vote threshold on something like

999
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 1: making sure the homeland is secure. Listen. I have met,

1000
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:45,720
Speaker 1: I have been part of some really dysfunctional families in

1001
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 1: my fifty plus years. This is the most dysfunctional family

1002
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:56,800
Speaker 1: you will ever meet. These people cannot be in the

1003
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:00,759
Speaker 1: same room together. They have shown that over and over again.

1004
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 1: A number of them need interventions, a lot of different

1005
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 1: interventions at that GOP leaders have called on their colleagues

1006
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 1: across the aisle to support a bipartisan agreement that appropriators

1007
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: reached earlier this year to fund DHS through September. But

1008
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: that deal was reached before a second fatal shooting by

1009
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: federal agents in Minneapolis in January, which prompted Democrats to

1010
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: go batgwana crazy and say, hey, you see, this is

1011
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 1: rampant violence going on from the people the law enforcement

1012
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:47,160
Speaker 1: agents who have experienced an eight thousand uptick, an eight

1013
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:52,680
Speaker 1: thousand percentage point uptick in violence against them, So therefore

1014
01:12:53,240 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 1: we will not fund them. Meanwhile, the perhaps the JV team,

1015
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: as Obama like to call them, setting up shop somewhere

1016
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 1: in Topeka or god knows where. President Trump announced shortly

1017
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 1: before the Senate vote that he was replacing DHS Secretary

1018
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,599
Speaker 1: Christine Nome And so the pieces kind of fall together

1019
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:27,440
Speaker 1: on that politically, don't they, adding a new twist and negotiations.

1020
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: Some Democrats indicated the move could help lead to a compromise.

1021
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:39,759
Speaker 1: Democrat Senator Richard Stolen Valor Blumenthal of Connecticut said earlier

1022
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,240
Speaker 1: that it might be easier for us to negotiate on

1023
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:49,799
Speaker 1: DHS funding if no one was fired. Well, guess what happened,

1024
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 1: So that might make some sense. A lot of talk

1025
01:13:56,640 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: that Trump was not real happy with Christy Nohm anyway,

1026
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 1: for a number of reasons, including her testimony before Congress

1027
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: this week and so expendable. Sure, Okay, there you go.

1028
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's a sacrificial lamb. I think that

1029
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 1: christinom had some bigger issues going on within the management

1030
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 1: of DHS that a lot of Homeland Security folks found troubling.

1031
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about the nut jobs in the

1032
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: usual bureaucracy. But she did a lot of good things too.

1033
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,720
Speaker 1: Let's call the record for what it was. I mean,

1034
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 1: if you liked getting a border back, she did a

1035
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:48,679
Speaker 1: great job at that. If you like law and order

1036
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,599
Speaker 1: in immigration in America, I think she did a pretty

1037
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: good job at that. I think that she had some

1038
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:58,959
Speaker 1: messaging problems. I think that she was way too concerned

1039
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 1: about making video in Camo, those sexy Camo outfits. I

1040
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:12,599
Speaker 1: think just kind of that. We're a disconnect the different

1041
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 1: hats and what did they spend it. It was an

1042
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 1: ungodly amount millions upon tens upon millions of dollars. I

1043
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:26,639
Speaker 1: don't know what the exact price tag was. But they

1044
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 1: were videos produced starring Christineome that were made to tell

1045
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:38,400
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, Hey, we have a deal for you. Okay,

1046
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: you get the hell out of here. Before you do,

1047
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 1: we'll cut you check you had self and at some

1048
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:51,920
Speaker 1: point you can go through the legal process, and we

1049
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 1: won't bar you from that. You don't do that, you

1050
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 1: don't get the money, you never get a chance to

1051
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 1: go through the process. You're barred from coming in at all,

1052
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 1: and you're screwed. And that was a message that I

1053
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 1: think obviously was quite successful. A lot of illegal immigrants

1054
01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:23,639
Speaker 1: took the federal government up on that sweetheart deal. Christy

1055
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 1: Knaam did a lot of these videos, except they seem

1056
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,759
Speaker 1: to all be running on Fox News.

1057
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:33,680
Speaker 2: Now.

1058
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I think it's a

1059
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:43,600
Speaker 1: safe bet that a slim portion, a slim percentage of

1060
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:52,080
Speaker 1: Fox's viewing audience are illegal immigrants. I'm just saying, Oh,

1061
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: they ran on Newsmax too, Yes, even better. So you

1062
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 1: got to know your marketplace. And that wasn't it that AnyWho? So,

1063
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:09,519
Speaker 1: Christy's gone. The hope was that you would get the House,

1064
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: which you did, and then you get the Senate, and

1065
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 1: now we'd have funding for DHS. You don't because once

1066
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:21,919
Speaker 1: again you have people that have put their posturing and

1067
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 1: their performance above public safety. And so here we are.

1068
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 1: Is there hope that this thing could come to an

1069
01:17:31,400 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 1: end soon? Never holds your breath. Republicans have argued that

1070
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: ending the impasse has grown more urgent since the beginning

1071
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 1: of the war with Iran. They do that because that

1072
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 1: is reality. Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota

1073
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: said this week that quote, there are always threats to

1074
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:57,799
Speaker 1: the homeland that have to be addressed, but the stakes

1075
01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:05,960
Speaker 1: are higher now. Yes, again, anyone with a lower level

1076
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 1: IQ understands that, I'll Speaker Mike Johnson said in a

1077
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 1: statement Tuesday that military action in Iran makes it all

1078
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,719
Speaker 1: the more urgent and crucial to have a fully staffed,

1079
01:18:19,840 --> 01:18:24,640
Speaker 1: fully funded Department of Homeland Security across departments. If we

1080
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:28,240
Speaker 1: are being wise, now is the time to be vigilant

1081
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:31,919
Speaker 1: at home and to ensure that all of our doors

1082
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: are locked, so to speak. Johnson said, Obviously everyone understands

1083
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 1: that it's a heightened threat environment. Global tensions are high,

1084
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: Threats are constantly evolving, and America's adversaries are watching for

1085
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: any sign of weakness on our part. Not everyone understands that. Clearly.

1086
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:04,440
Speaker 1: If they did, then DHS would be fully funded right now.

1087
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:07,639
Speaker 1: That's not to say that the Department of Homeland Security

1088
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 1: is going to stave off every threat out there. They

1089
01:19:12,160 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: clearly haven't, nor will the FBI working with their partners

1090
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 1: in local law enforcement. But if you have the people

1091
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: in place, the technology, the intelligence in place, it makes

1092
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: your job a lot easier, and it makes the odds

1093
01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 1: of a nasty attack much less, much lower. Now it's

1094
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 1: time for everyone to get that idea. We shall see,

1095
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 1: we shall see coming up next. This is a bad idea,

1096
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 1: or at least it has come to be a bad idea.

1097
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: And I'm going to sell you. Tell you something. I

1098
01:19:56,600 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: thought this was a bad idea long before coming to pass.

1099
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 1: Maybe free Brittany hashtag free Brittany was such a good idea.

1100
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 1: After all, we'll delve into the latest on that front.

1101
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:17,799
Speaker 1: And before we check out today, this headline poop spread

1102
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 1: illness is on the rise, just in time for dinner.

1103
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:24,680
Speaker 1: I hope you will stay with us. It is the

1104
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:28,840
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell's Show with your old radiomego, Matt Kittle, hang

1105
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:34,519
Speaker 1: on caving it real, keeping it right. It's Dan o'donalds Show,

1106
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:38,880
Speaker 1: Thursday edition. Kittle, here you are there. I'm glad you

1107
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: are welcome to the ride home. One more day. Baby,

1108
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:50,640
Speaker 1: It's pay dirt the weekend smell it. I love the

1109
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 1: smell of weekend in the afternoon, don't you you sure do?

1110
01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 4: Oh?

1111
01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 1: I said, this was a bad idea at the time.

1112
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,680
Speaker 1: There were some people in my household, there are some

1113
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:07,600
Speaker 1: people in my life who said, no, how can you

1114
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:14,280
Speaker 1: be so cruel? How can you be so mean? Britney.

1115
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:20,559
Speaker 1: Brittany is a prisoner of her father's making. By God,

1116
01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:26,559
Speaker 1: set that woman free. And I said, I get what

1117
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 1: you're saying, but kind of a lunatic and this could

1118
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:35,640
Speaker 1: end very badly for everyone. No, no, no, no no,

1119
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:40,280
Speaker 1: they said, everyone deserves to be free. She's an adult.

1120
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 1: She should be able to make her own decisions about

1121
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 1: her life, her finances, the people she has in or

1122
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,599
Speaker 1: out of her life. I said, yeah, all of that

1123
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: sounds good on the surface, but have you seen this

1124
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,960
Speaker 1: young woman not so young anymore, this young woman's track record.

1125
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:06,559
Speaker 1: It's like a portfolio, I always say, except it's the

1126
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 1: exact opposite. They say, the past is not indicative of

1127
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: the future. It's not an indicator of the future. But

1128
01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:16,880
Speaker 1: in this case, it's all just a little bit of

1129
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: history repeating, and here we are. At least it feels

1130
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: kind of like we're back at the square one. You

1131
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 1: sure did, Brittany, See now, I Who would have thought

1132
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 1: this girl could have gone so wrong in her tight

1133
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 1: red rubbers suit gyrating about I know it, I know

1134
01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:51,200
Speaker 1: that's been the problem. So so here it is the story,

1135
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 1: the Brittany story, the latest one from Fox News This Hour.

1136
01:22:57,040 --> 01:23:02,600
Speaker 1: Britney Spears was arrested Wednesday night in Cali. I'm going

1137
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 1: to file this away under the heading of least surprising

1138
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 1: story of the day. Britney Spears was arrested Wednesday night

1139
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: in California. The California Highway Patrol arrested Spears around nine

1140
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,839
Speaker 1: to twenty eight pm, According to records viewed by Fox

1141
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:28,719
Speaker 1: News Digital. The Baby One More Time singer was booked

1142
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 1: at three h two am. No not booked to perform.

1143
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:36,960
Speaker 1: It was booked by law enforcement authorities. Released around six

1144
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: oh seven am on Thursday. Authorities arrested Spears for allegedly

1145
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: driving under the influence, a source told Fox News Digital.

1146
01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 1: TMZ was the first to report the arrest. As you

1147
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 1: might expect is what TMZ do. This was an unfortunate

1148
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 1: incident that is completely inexcusable. A rep for Spears told

1149
01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:08,040
Speaker 1: Fox News Digital, Brittany is going to take the right

1150
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 1: steps and comply with the law and Hopefully this can

1151
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: be the first step in a long overdue change that

1152
01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 1: needs to occur in Britney's life. They freed Brittany. That

1153
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 1: was the bottom line, right, That was what the big documentary,

1154
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: That was the big story several years back, pretty sure

1155
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:37,839
Speaker 1: that that was the case. It was all about Brittany

1156
01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:40,759
Speaker 1: getting control of her life, getting her life back together,

1157
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 1: showing the court that was involved in all of this

1158
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,240
Speaker 1: that she could get her life. And the court had

1159
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 1: misgivings and all of those sorts of things. And they

1160
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:51,720
Speaker 1: still have no matter what, they still have a representative

1161
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:56,920
Speaker 1: who has to talk in a scolding tone when she

1162
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: deals with this. What is she thirty something? Now she's

1163
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:05,599
Speaker 1: forty something. I know those little I think she's forty

1164
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: something too. I know those puppet faced kids on that

1165
01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 1: he's forty four. Yes, good lord, she's not that innocent.

1166
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you, what were those twins from

1167
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 1: that show? They look like little puppets to me. The

1168
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 1: Wilson Twins, Flip Wilson's kids. Oh, the Olsen Twins. Okay,

1169
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 1: so you're taking me way back in television history. The

1170
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 1: Olsen Twins, that's right. On that Full House show, the

1171
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 1: one where Bob Saggatt was a clean freak dad who

1172
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: loved his kids and then at night would go do

1173
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:54,679
Speaker 1: some of the raunchiest comedy that you'd ever hear. Right

1174
01:25:54,720 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 1: after TV's Funniest home videos were people were always always

1175
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:07,880
Speaker 1: doing horrible things to their crutches. They they're in their

1176
01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,679
Speaker 1: forties now too, aren't they? The Olsen twins. They gotta

1177
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 1: be all of these kids, you know. My mom used

1178
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 1: to say this, and I'm getting to an age where

1179
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:24,599
Speaker 1: I know this more and more so, just a tad

1180
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 1: younger than Britney spears. They're not that innocent, as the

1181
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 1: song goes. My mom used to tell me this before

1182
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: she passed. She said, everybody I used to watch on

1183
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: television and at the movies and listen to on the

1184
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:45,559
Speaker 1: radio are dead. It was. It's not an uplifting thought,

1185
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:53,320
Speaker 1: it was it was true. You know, eventually all the

1186
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:58,360
Speaker 1: people you know. It's the same thing now. Britney spheares, Oops,

1187
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 1: I did it again, and baby one more time can

1188
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:06,360
Speaker 1: be heard on old these stations. You want to feel

1189
01:27:06,360 --> 01:27:11,879
Speaker 1: real old. There you go. So anyway, back to Britney's troubles,

1190
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 1: As her rep says, Britney is going to take the

1191
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:20,320
Speaker 1: right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this

1192
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 1: can be the first step and a long overdue change

1193
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:28,560
Speaker 1: that needs to occur in Britney's life. Yes, the journey

1194
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 1: of a thousand steps begins with one or twelve, as

1195
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: this case may show. Hopefully she can get the help

1196
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 1: and support she needs during this difficult time. Her boys

1197
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 1: are going to be spending time with her, her loved

1198
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: ones are going to come up with an overdue needed

1199
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:54,720
Speaker 1: plan set her up for success for well being. It

1200
01:27:54,840 --> 01:28:00,960
Speaker 1: is crazy, though, isn't it. I mean again, it was

1201
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,799
Speaker 1: a huge star. I think she was on The Mickey

1202
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:05,960
Speaker 1: Mouse Club or something years ago. She was on some

1203
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,879
Speaker 1: Disney show, right, and so she came out of there

1204
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:14,200
Speaker 1: and then she's this big, massive celebrity star pop queen.

1205
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden she's topless in places and

1206
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:24,559
Speaker 1: caught on camera doing things and just spiraling out of control.

1207
01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:27,240
Speaker 1: And we've seen that with a lot of Hollywood celebrities,

1208
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:31,439
Speaker 1: not alone, a lot of people and regular Joe's in

1209
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 1: life have done that, but Brittany in particular had quite

1210
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:40,559
Speaker 1: the wipeout, and apparently it was so bad that her

1211
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:44,720
Speaker 1: dad and people in her life had to step in

1212
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:48,680
Speaker 1: and say you just can't do it anymore, and we're

1213
01:28:48,720 --> 01:28:52,800
Speaker 1: going to set up like a trust, a conservatorship. We're

1214
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 1: going to have the court involved in this. We're going

1215
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:58,639
Speaker 1: to oversee every aspect of your life. And that's, of course,

1216
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:02,760
Speaker 1: when all of the a Free Britney campaign came out

1217
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 1: saying that she was she was being oppressed by her

1218
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:15,839
Speaker 1: oppressors and oops, she did it again. Dispatch audio obtained

1219
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 1: by Fox News Digital indicated that the California Highway Patrol

1220
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:23,160
Speaker 1: followed Spears for a while on the Freeway and other

1221
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:26,559
Speaker 1: roads in the Greater Los Angeles area before pulling her over.

1222
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:29,960
Speaker 1: Driver is out of the vehicle. Police can be heard saying,

1223
01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:34,760
Speaker 1: just talking with the driver, someone said and immediately said,

1224
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:38,679
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's Britney Spears. Should she be allowed

1225
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:41,599
Speaker 1: to drive? No, I didn't say that. They were thinking

1226
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 1: that though. They said do they need a venture a

1227
01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:51,880
Speaker 1: supervisor to roll out? That's police lingo for saying maybe

1228
01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:55,639
Speaker 1: we need some support here. While dispatch asked officers if

1229
01:29:55,680 --> 01:30:01,560
Speaker 1: they'd like a supervisor, It's unclear if one was needed anyway.

1230
01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:05,040
Speaker 1: Fox News Digital has reached out to California Highway Patrol.

1231
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 1: None of that is really necessary. What is really relevant

1232
01:30:09,320 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 1: to the story is, according to Fox, the Gimme Moore

1233
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 1: singer is no stranger to public scrutiny. Spears struggle with

1234
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:21,800
Speaker 1: mental health in the early two thousands led to a

1235
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:26,960
Speaker 1: controversial conservatorship, as we noted before, helmed by her father,

1236
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:32,240
Speaker 1: Jamie Spears. Some of her fans said the dad was

1237
01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 1: a tyrant and again she should be in control of

1238
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 1: her own life, her own destiny. Following two involuntary psychchiatric

1239
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 1: holds in two thousand and eight, Jamie was granted a

1240
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:48,760
Speaker 1: temporary conservative ship over his daughter. At the end of

1241
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:52,200
Speaker 1: the year, the court order became permanent and Jamie was

1242
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:58,240
Speaker 1: appointed conservator, with attorney Andrew Wallet named as co conservator.

1243
01:31:00,120 --> 01:31:03,880
Speaker 1: In nineteen excuse me twenty twenty one. November of that year,

1244
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:10,000
Speaker 1: Spears was freed, just as the people demanded hashtag free Britney.

1245
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:14,080
Speaker 1: She was freed from a conservatorship Jamie controlled for more

1246
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:20,120
Speaker 1: than thirteen years. While addressing the court when her term ended,

1247
01:31:20,160 --> 01:31:23,760
Speaker 1: Spears said, I just want my life back. All I

1248
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:28,120
Speaker 1: want is to own my money and for my boyfriend

1249
01:31:28,160 --> 01:31:33,760
Speaker 1: to be able to drive me in his car. Mm hm.

1250
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 1: And now it appears her boyfriend is going to have

1251
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:41,520
Speaker 1: to drive her in her car if she is convicted

1252
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:49,160
Speaker 1: of this operating while intoxicated sitch. Anyway, there is your

1253
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:53,880
Speaker 1: Britney update now, and for all of those who said passionately,

1254
01:31:54,000 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: vehemently free Britney spears last night, early this morning she

1255
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 1: was in custody once again, we'll take a quick break

1256
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:06,040
Speaker 1: coming up. We've got a few other things. I want

1257
01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 1: to get to a few spare thoughts as we wrap

1258
01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:13,320

1264
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:37,559
Speaker 1: I got too much going on here. I don't think

1265
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 1: we're going to get to everything, but let's start here

Speaker 1: gonna cut it for poker tomorrow night. I better do

1291
01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:46,160
Speaker 1: something else consistent with our strategy. This divestiture enables us

1292
01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:50,800
Speaker 1: to concentrate our capital, leadership and operational focus on the

1293
01:34:50,800 --> 01:34:55,040
Speaker 1: properties that we believe generate the strongest returns and offer

1294
01:34:55,120 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 1: the greatest long term upside. Six Flags Entertainment Corporation Chief

1295
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 1: Executive John said in a news release. So, all of

1296
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 1: these parks, and I've been to a couple of them.

1297
01:35:05,200 --> 01:35:09,440
Speaker 1: I know that our mutual friend in the iHeart Madison

1298
01:35:09,520 --> 01:35:15,120
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Chain, Sean Preeble, has done like a tour of

1299
01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:21,640
Speaker 1: at least the Midwest big amusement parks and maybe beyond that.

1300
01:35:22,320 --> 01:35:25,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if he went to if he's gone

1301
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:30,920
Speaker 1: to Schlitterbond. But you ever had that at Octoberfest. It's

1302
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:33,200
Speaker 1: really good. You put a little mustard on that Schlitterbond

1303
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:38,240
Speaker 1: and with a cold mug of beer. But I know

1304
01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:43,439
Speaker 1: he does the the schlitter Bond. You can drive as

1305
01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:47,320
Speaker 1: fast as you want on the schlitter Bond, but holy Schlitterbon.

1306
01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:51,479
Speaker 1: There have been some crashes out there, that's for sure. Anyway,

1307
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:55,440
Speaker 1: I was glad to see that one of the places

1308
01:35:55,520 --> 01:35:58,000
Speaker 1: that I love to go to and we would try

1309
01:35:58,040 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 1: to do it when I was a kid. Once a

1310
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:08,160
Speaker 1: summer at least was Great America in Gurnee, Illinois, the

1311
01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:13,120
Speaker 1: Chicago area, and I rode all of those roller coasters

1312
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:17,320
Speaker 1: all of the time. And I could do that when

1313
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:20,720
Speaker 1: I was eleven years old. As a fifty something year

1314
01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:24,919
Speaker 1: old man with vertigo, that is a literal death sentence.

1315
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:28,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you that we were at Little America

1316
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:33,800
Speaker 1: when the kids were little, outside of Madison, and they

1317
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:36,240
Speaker 1: just had you know, they have the big, big roller coasters,

1318
01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 1: they're the fun sized kid roller coasters, and they had

1319
01:36:39,560 --> 01:36:44,960
Speaker 1: something called the Bullet and my son, who was maybe

1320
01:36:45,200 --> 01:36:47,639
Speaker 1: six seven years old at the time, he said, Dad,

1321
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:48,960
Speaker 1: we got to go on that. We've got to go

1322
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 1: on that. And every man must know his limitations, and

1323
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:56,479
Speaker 1: I knew mine, but he was really insistent, and I

1324
01:36:56,560 --> 01:37:00,960
Speaker 1: wanted to be the brave and courageous dad my young

1325
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:05,880
Speaker 1: son's eyes, and so I stupidly decided to get into

1326
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 1: that coffin like space with a little air breathing vent

1327
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:19,919
Speaker 1: wiry vent up top. And there were two of these pods.

1328
01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:24,000
Speaker 1: We got into one there was another dad and his

1329
01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 1: son and the other one and the thing would just

1330
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:30,960
Speaker 1: shoot down and then come back up like a bullet

1331
01:37:31,040 --> 01:37:35,880
Speaker 1: into the ground, and oh my god, like within fifteen

1332
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 1: seconds twenty seconds of this ride, I was out of

1333
01:37:40,200 --> 01:37:42,519
Speaker 1: my head. Like I said, I have vertigo, and so

1334
01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:48,080
Speaker 1: things get really not good in that situation. So things

1335
01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 1: were getting crazy. I was seeing double I was very,

1336
01:37:52,600 --> 01:37:59,840
Speaker 1: very nauseous, and I just remember screaming to the Carnie below, Okay,

1337
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:06,479
Speaker 1: that's good, I'm good. You can stop it now, give

1338
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:09,560
Speaker 1: other kids a chance. There's like a minute end of

1339
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:12,719
Speaker 1: this thing, and I look and what I can see

1340
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:19,639
Speaker 1: in my blurred vision is this very malicious, malevolent Carnie

1341
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:22,360
Speaker 1: who looked up at me and he gave me a

1342
01:38:22,560 --> 01:38:27,920
Speaker 1: greasy thumbs up and just smiled and smiled. I said, no, no, no,

1343
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:33,639
Speaker 1: you don't understand. I'm going back and forth very much

1344
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:39,160
Speaker 1: on the verge. Things were gonna get pretty vomity. He

1345
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:42,360
Speaker 1: never did, never came to that. And after what seemed

1346
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:45,880
Speaker 1: like a century, that son of a gun let us down,

1347
01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:49,599
Speaker 1: and my boy was so excited. Oh Dad, wasn't that funny?

1348
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:51,880
Speaker 1: He thought I was being a funny guy when I

1349
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:55,240
Speaker 1: was saying, okay, that's enough, now, slower down. Could we

1350
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 1: get off, Dad, You're so funny. I'm so sick son.

1351
01:38:59,280 --> 01:39:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm so so very sick and wobbly, so the roller

1352
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:09,439
Speaker 1: coasters and the spinny things are not good for me.

1353
01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:11,800
Speaker 1: But I always like to enjoy the kids on there

1354
01:39:12,200 --> 01:39:14,880
Speaker 1: having fun. I did when I could handle it, and

1355
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:18,640
Speaker 1: so yes, it'd be a great, great fun adventure to

1356
01:39:18,720 --> 01:39:26,320
Speaker 1: own six adventure Land or not Adventureland, Great America parks,

1357
01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:29,439
Speaker 1: six Flags parks across the country for the low low

1358
01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:32,920
Speaker 1: price of three thirty one million dollars. Okay, let's close

1359
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:38,559
Speaker 1: with this story, just a warning and a bit of

1360
01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:44,200
Speaker 1: a really, how do we get here again? And shouldn't

1361
01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:49,439
Speaker 1: we alert FDR. The headline is that the Centers for

1362
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:54,679
Speaker 1: Disease Control and Prevention warns of polio risk. That's right,

1363
01:39:55,520 --> 01:40:03,200
Speaker 1: polio in over thirty countries as spring breaks, travel ramps up. Polio.

1364
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:06,040
Speaker 1: That's the thing that got Franklin Delan a Roosevelt in

1365
01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 1: a wheelchair. That's the thing. You look at these black

1366
01:40:09,560 --> 01:40:12,800
Speaker 1: and white photos from the nineteen fifties, the Eisenhower years,

1367
01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:18,879
Speaker 1: and you see kids in those iron lungs, just terrible

1368
01:40:18,960 --> 01:40:21,760
Speaker 1: tragic things. And then all of a sudden, the guy

1369
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:25,120
Speaker 1: comes along. He's got a sugar cube, and there's no

1370
01:40:25,240 --> 01:40:30,120
Speaker 1: polio anymore in the country. Hey, it's gone, it's gone,

1371
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:37,040
Speaker 1: it's back. US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has

1372
01:40:37,080 --> 01:40:42,600
Speaker 1: issued a warning about circulating poliovirus in over thirty countries

1373
01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 1: the level two practiced enhanced precautions. Wow, that does sound serious.

1374
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:54,920
Speaker 1: The alert was published earlier this week. Before any intentional travel,

1375
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:59,080

Speaker 1: is coming from. And I realize it's getting too close

1398
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:51,000
Speaker 1: to dinner time, but I want you to be aware

1399
01:42:51,080 --> 01:42:54,519
Speaker 1: and I want you to be warned because the virus

1400

1402
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:10,840
Speaker 1: spread it to others when they do not wash their

1403
01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:20,000
Speaker 1: hands well after number two. Well, actually the quote is

1404
01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:23,000
Speaker 1: I love it when you have to force the CDC

1405
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:27,080
Speaker 1: to use in a press release to use the term pooping.

1406
01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:31,360
Speaker 1: I said, this happens if you don't wash your hands

1407
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:38,519
Speaker 1: very well after defecating parentheses pooping, you got it. What's
