1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: And on behalf of everyone at the Dan o'donalds Show. 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: We wish you likewise. President Trump holding an economic roundtable today, 3 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: shortly after the Federal Reserve announces another quarter point rate cut. 4 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: As Jimmy Carvill very famously said, it is all about 5 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: the economy, stupid, and even thirty years plus after he 6 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: famously said that during the Clinton administration, it still holds 7 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: true three hours of broadcast excellence on the way or 8 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: at the very least and far more likely broadcast competence. 9 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: If you want to join us four one, four seven 10 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: nine to nine eleven thirty one eight hundred eight three 11 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: eight nine four seven six, you can email me DIRECTLYDD 12 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: at iHeartMedia dot com, at Dan o'donald Show, on X 13 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: on Facebook, on Instagram. We are streaming live pretty much everywhere, 14 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: including on our YouTube channel check us out there, or 15 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: in podcast form on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to podcasts. 16 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,559 Speaker 1: About an hour and a half ago the announcement from 17 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: Fed Reserve Chairman Jerome. 18 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: Powell, conditions in the labor market appear to be gradually cooling, 19 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: and inflation remains somewhat elevated. In support of our goals 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: in light of the balance of risks to employment and inflation. Today, 21 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: the Federal Open Market Committee decided to lower our policy 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: interest rate by quarter percentage point. 23 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: Now, of course, President Trump had a very strong reaction 24 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: to that, as he had every time Jerome Powell opens 25 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: his mouth. He has made no secret of the fact 26 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: that he is not a very big fan of the 27 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: Federal Reserve Chairman. 28 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: We have to get a mindset that when the country's 29 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 3: doing well, you don't want to kill the growth. 30 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 4: That's what they're doing. They kill the growth. I don't 31 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 4: know if you guys even agree with that. They kill 32 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 4: the growth because they're so afraid of inflation. But you 33 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 4: can have tremendous growth without inflation. Everything goes up with 34 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 4: the growth, but that's not inflation. So I think we 35 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 4: can do much better than traditional numbers. 36 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 5: And you see that. 37 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 3: You see that with what we're doing, we're leading in everything. 38 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: President Trump is obviously pushing for faster, more aggressive right 39 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: cuts than just the two quarter point cuts that we've seen. 40 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: At the last two Federal Reserve meetings, President Trump said 41 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: Powell is once again too late. His term is coming 42 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: to an end. Of course, President Trump does get to 43 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,839 Speaker 1: pick a replacement widely expected to be Kevin Hassett, who 44 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 1: would assume the role sometime in spring. I believe in 45 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: April he would get the Federal Reserve chairman that he wants. 46 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: But remember Powell was also appointed by Trump, and Trump 47 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: once spoke very highly of him. What is clear, though, 48 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: is the Federal Reserve is still trying to dig out 49 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: of President Biden's massive hole, because first we had record inflation, 50 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: and what I find to be incredibly rich is now 51 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: just within the last couple of days, really within the 52 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: last day or so, Democrats have sharpened their message on 53 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: the economy, focusing in particular on the issue of affordability. 54 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: Now were they in a coma just like the President 55 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: Biden was over the last four years, because they didn't 56 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: seem to be talking about affordability back then. Now, however, 57 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: there is a truly hilarious trend on social media, and 58 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: that's Democrats posting graphs that inadvertently prove that all of 59 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: the price increases that Americans are dealing with right now 60 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: happened on Biden's watch, especially in the first two years 61 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 1: of Biden's loan term in office, when Democrats control both 62 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives, and the Senate. You might remember, 63 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: primarily because you are a loyal listener to this show, 64 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: that it was the initial stimulus Act, that the American 65 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: Rescue Plan Act, that brought one point nine trillion dollars 66 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: of new spending into an economy that did not need it. 67 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: It wasn't just the stimulus checks that were going to 68 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: pretty much every man, woman, and child in the country, 69 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: which not only increased individual spending at a time when 70 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: the production of goods and the providing of services was 71 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: either dramatically hampered because of COVID shutdowns or COVID related layoffs, 72 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: it also was the dramatic increase in government spending. We 73 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: are going to try to get to later on in 74 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: the show. A fantastic study by the Institute for Reforming 75 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: Government that came out this week that showed all of 76 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: the ESSER grants Paradoxically, ess grants were the grants from 77 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 1: COVID the American Rescue Plan Act that were going into 78 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: local school districts in Wisconsin across the country that paradoxically 79 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: did not lead to more self sufficiency by school governments, 80 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: by school boards, and by individ dual school districts. It 81 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: actually led to way more school referendu and now that 82 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: property tax bills are starting to come in, they're starting 83 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: to be mailed out. In fact, I have got if 84 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: you live in the West Dallas West Milwaukee School District, 85 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: May God have mercy on your soul as you go 86 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: to your mailbox to look at your tax bill, because 87 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: I am seeing just some astronomical numbers. Every couple of 88 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: days I get emailed somebody from somebody who is just 89 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: so upset with their property tax bill. I said, yet, 90 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 1: well they went to a massive reference, two of them 91 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: in fact, And this has been going on all across 92 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: the country because governments have been flush with cash. The 93 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: federal government essentially just printed money, not because it was needed. 94 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: And this is the thing that for two straight recessions, liberals, 95 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: I think intentionally get wrong. They intentionally distort the necessary 96 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: liquidity injected into a market. So in two thousand and eight, 97 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: at the very tail end of the Bush administration, George W. 98 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: Bush and the divided Congress actually injected a massive amount 99 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: of liquidity into the financial markets to prevent a complete meltdown, a. 100 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 6: Total global tilt. 101 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: The economy was going to go under had there not 102 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 1: been this emergency liquidity. When Barack Obama was elected, his 103 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: very first thing was a trillion dollar stimulus plan that 104 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: was inflationary in the extreme, not nearly as extreme as 105 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: the massive double the Obama stimulus jolt of cash that 106 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: Biden injected, but it was inflationary, and it was also unnecessary. 107 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: You might remember way back then the shovel ready jobs 108 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: that weren't quite shovel ready. It seems as though whenever 109 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Democrats get into office, their natural inclination is to just 110 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,919 Speaker 1: reward all of their friends with massive amounts of that sweet, 111 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: sweet federal cash. And that's exactly what happened in early 112 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. It's no coincidence that within a month 113 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: of the stimulus checks going out in April of twenty 114 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: twenty one, and within a month of local and state 115 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,239 Speaker 1: governments just getting money hand over fist by the federal government, 116 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: inflation spiked to thirty year highs. Within two months after that, 117 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: July of twenty twenty one, we had forty year highs. 118 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: We had inflation year over year. Consumer price Index by 119 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,559 Speaker 1: the summer of twenty twenty two hit nine percent nine 120 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: percent year over year, so in one year, prices and 121 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: that's an average of prices individual stuff like restaurant, food, groceries. 122 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 6: Gas obviously spiked. 123 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: Summer of twenty twenty two, we actually saw, for the 124 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: first time in American history, you had gas prices in 125 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: all fifty states average five dollars a gallon. By way 126 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: of comparison, we're well under two dollars in some areas. 127 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: And I believe the national average, which of course is 128 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: dramatically increased, dramatically risen by states high state to high 129 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: price states like New York and California, no surprise, run 130 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: by Democrats, Democrat monopoly states. We're seeing an average of 131 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: about three dollars a gallon, in fact, far less in 132 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: most normally priced areas. But in the summer of twenty 133 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: twenty two or twenty twenty two, yeah, in the summer 134 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two, the nation was in dire straits. 135 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: Year over year inflation was nine percent under four years 136 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump from twenty seventeen to early twenty twenty one. 137 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: Cumulative inflation cumulative meaning total inflation. The total amount by 138 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: which prices rose in a four year stretch under Trump 139 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: was eight percent. Democrats who are telling you right now 140 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: with a straight face that It's Trump's fault that we 141 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: can no longer afford anything. Ignore the fact that inflation 142 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: spiked by more in one year, the first full year 143 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden was in office than in all four 144 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: years that Donald Trump was in office before that. Total 145 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: cumulative and inflation under Joe Biden and Democrat rule from 146 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one to early this year twenty twenty five 147 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: was nearly twenty two percent twenty one point five percent 148 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: in real dollars. That means for every average family of 149 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: four husband, wife, two kids. For the average family of 150 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: four in real dollars, that meant it cost seventeen thousand 151 00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: dollars more for the exact same goods and services that 152 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: they were able to purchase under the first Trump administration. 153 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: That comes out to an extra fourteen hundred dollars a 154 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: month just in inflation costs over the course of the 155 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: four years of the disastrous Biden Democrat regime. Fourteen hundred 156 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: dollars is an extra rent payment. I don't know about you, 157 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure I could swing an extra fourteen 158 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month every month for four straight years. 159 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: What that actually means is in terms of real wages, 160 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: wages adjusted for inflation, you actually got about a four 161 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: percent pay cut. Now, again, compare that to the four 162 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: years of Donald Trump that immediately preceded that. Even with 163 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: the massive recession, short though it was because of COVID nineteen, 164 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: I call that the artificial recession. Because government was forcing 165 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: businesses to shut down, we didn't see a pullback in 166 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: economic activity. We didn't see layoffs caused by that pullback 167 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: in economic activity. We saw layoffs because government was saying 168 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: you couldn't go to work, you couldn't keep your business open. Naturally, 169 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: there needed to be layoffs. Even with that, there was 170 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: a steady increase of about two percent give or take 171 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: in real wages under Donald Trump. Four years of Trump 172 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: real average annual wage growth, four years of Biden, four 173 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: years of Democrat inflationary policies, four years of a four 174 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: percent one percent each year, you got one percent poorer. 175 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: In other words, under Joe Biden and the Democrats. Now, however, 176 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: it really is the economy stupid, because Democrats aren't stupid 177 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: enough to actually believe that it's Donald Trump who was 178 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: causing all of this inflation. They're counting on the fact 179 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: that you or John Q voter is too stupid to 180 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: realize the difference. They're counting on the fact that they 181 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: are going to have their message parroted in the press, 182 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: that all of the price increases actually happened in the 183 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: last eleven months, and that the last four years that 184 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: immediately preceded, that we're totally incompletely irrelevant. That no, no, no, no, no, 185 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: we're seeing real price increases just in the last eleven months. 186 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: And here's the thing, here's the thing that is so 187 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 1: devastating for Republicans. It's so devastating for the Trump agenda. 188 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: And it should come as a clear warning sign for 189 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: every Republican here in Wisconsin and beyond running in twenty 190 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: twenty six, this is likely to work. The average person 191 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: does not listen to this show where we go in depth, 192 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: in in granular depth, looking at the causes for inflation, 193 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: looking at why we are now in and why we 194 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: have been in for the last four years, at affordability crisis. 195 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: The average person is list is wistful for prices not 196 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: last year. They're not thinking in terms of year over 197 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: year inflation. They're thinking of what they knew they used 198 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: to pay for things during the last Trump administration. But 199 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,079 Speaker 1: they don't think in terms of who's actually responsible. In fact, 200 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: I am strongly of the belief now that we've seen 201 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: Trump's popularity even though he is still in terms of 202 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: the average of polls right about where George W. Bush 203 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: and Barack Obama were at this point in the second 204 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: term of theirs, even though we are still seeing relative 205 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: strength there because he's got a very strong base, we 206 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: are seeing a whole lot of casual Trump voters, casual 207 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: Republican voters, start to abandon him because they are now 208 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: blaming him for the affordability rices, just as they blamed 209 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 1: Biden and the Democrats when they were in charge. This 210 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: is a very precarious position to be in, and I'm 211 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: not sure many Republicans, many Conservatives, or many just average 212 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: people have really contemplated what this means. Democrats might actually 213 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: dominate the midterms because of Democrat failures during the last administration, 214 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: because the damage they did to the nation's economy is 215 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: so devastating and so long lasting and so semi permanent 216 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: that if all of the things that take effect in 217 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six in just a couple of weeks in 218 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: the one Big Beautiful Bill don't immediately alleviate pressure that 219 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: people are feeling economically. They're going to take it out 220 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: on Donald Trump and the Republicans, just as they did 221 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: last year against Joe Biden and the Democrats. 222 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 6: You're listening to. 223 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: The Dan o'donald Show. More on this come up in 224 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: just three minutes. House Speaker Mike Johnson understands exactly what 225 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: Democrats are doing by playing the affordability card as we 226 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: are getting very very close now to the twenty twenty 227 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: six mid term election year. In his press conference today, 228 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: Johnson said, look, Democrats destroyed this economy and now they're 229 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: trying to blame President Trump for it. 230 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 7: This is why democrats newfound claims about affordability are just 231 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 7: patently observed. Okay, here are the facts. 232 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 8: And do you know this. 233 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 7: Many of you don't write about it, but these are 234 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 7: the facts. We're undisputed. They broke the economy and now 235 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 7: they want a lecture to the American people about affordability. 236 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 7: They opened our borders and now they want to lecture 237 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 7: to the American people about immigration border enforcement. They broke 238 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 7: the American healthcare system, they caused premiums to skyrocket, and 239 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 7: now they have the audacity to tell Republicans that the 240 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 7: only way to save it is through one hundred dollars 241 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 7: to health insurance companies, which would merely fuel a system 242 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 7: that is right with fraud, vote and abuse. 243 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: Just so we're clear, that was not me blowing my 244 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: nose and coughing. That's how Speaker Mike Johnson was speaking. 245 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: Can we get that member of Congress a lozenge please? 246 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: He's right, of course, in that Democrats did break the economy, 247 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: Democrats did break the healthcare system, and President Trump's One 248 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: Big Beautiful Bill had nothing to do with the expected 249 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: price hikes that Obamacare customers are going to have. You 250 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: know who made that abundantly clear just yesterday, as Democrats 251 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: held a press conference today trying to convince the American 252 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: people that it was the one Big Beautiful Bill that's 253 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: going to cause all these price sikes, Bernie Sanders. Bernie 254 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: went on CNN and said, yeah, things were pretty awful 255 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: well before the One Big Beautiful Bill. Thank you very much, Bernie. 256 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: You are always a voice of reason, if not necessary sanity. 257 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: But what Democrats are doing here is about the ultimate crass, craven, 258 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: callous politics. They know people are hurting, especially younger people 259 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 1: who are just starting out in their careers, younger people 260 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: who are just trying to keep their heads above water. 261 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 1: And look, folks, I know, I know our audience, the 262 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: people listening to me or watching the stream, we tend 263 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: to be a little bit older, a little bit better off. 264 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: I'm in my mid career years, which means I'm probably hitting, 265 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: hopefully something approaching my highest expected earnings. But think about 266 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: somebody coming into the Biden economy just starting out with 267 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: maybe sixty thousand dollars worth of college debt, or maybe 268 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 1: even somebody who's going into the trades who doesn't have 269 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: any initial debt, who's making sixty seventy five thousand dollars 270 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: immediately out of college in the skilled trades. 271 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 6: Try buying a house. 272 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: You'll find that it's darn near impossible because you don't 273 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: have the equity built up in an existing property, you 274 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: don't have the cash available to put down in a 275 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: down payment, and more importantly, you're competing for houses that 276 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: before Biden were one hundred and fifty thousand dollars but 277 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: are now three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, four hundred 278 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: thousand dollars or more with at the high end baby boomers, 279 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: Generation xers, and older millennials like myself, who can theoretically 280 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: make all cash offers because we have either paid off 281 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: our houses or have built up so much equity in 282 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 1: our current houses that we're now looking to downsize a 283 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: little bit and essentially profit take off of our primary 284 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: residence for several years as our kids get older and 285 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: we become empty nesters. Somebody who is making sixty to 286 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: seventy five thousand dollars per year, which was once considered 287 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: very comfortably middle class, if not upper middle class, is 288 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: now going to be drowning, not just in debt, but 289 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 1: also in the day to day expenses, the biggest one, 290 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: of course, being living. So at the high end you 291 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: are competing with people who can simply outbid you for property, 292 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: and at the low end, especially among renters, you are 293 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: paying more and more exorbitant rents. Because Biden, in addition 294 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: to spiking inflation, flooded this country with an untold number 295 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: of illegal aliens and also legal aliens or illegals who 296 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: he put paroled and just with a wave of his 297 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: magic wand made legal. 298 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 6: Now think about that. Think about that for a second. 299 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: We've got a recovering economy from the COVID shutdowns, meaning 300 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: the global supply chain is sort of in shambles as 301 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: it's just starting to come back online. Biden isn't just 302 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: giving people fourteen hundred dollars stimulus checks. He is also 303 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: keeping enhanced on employment benefits in place, meaning people would 304 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: be more likely to choose to stay on the couch, 305 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: to stay unemployed and continue to get those sweet, sweet 306 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: benefits when we needed to be incentivizing people to get 307 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: back to work and to populate the supply chain so 308 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: we could get the goods and the services out to 309 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: people with an increased demand for them. Remember, everybody now 310 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: has fourteen hundred dollars in their checking accounts and they're 311 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: looking to spend those And what we knew immediately is 312 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: that they weren't going to spend them necessarily on travel 313 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: or services or things like that. They were spending them 314 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: on goods. Classic example I always used was the PlayStation five. 315 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 1: Do you know how impossible it was to get a 316 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: PlayStation five when it came out in either twenty twenty 317 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: twenty one. It was because of the global supply chain. 318 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: They could not get the parts necessary shifted to where 319 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: they needed to go. To manufacture PlayStation fives and get 320 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: them to store shelves, so those shelves were bare. Biden's 321 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: policies didn't just keep those store shelves bare. It didn't 322 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: just screw with the global supply chain. It also injected 323 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: into this country. So on the supply side, on the 324 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: supply side, it's two sides of the economic equation, right, 325 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: supply side, demand side. This is why if you've ever 326 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: wondered why Reaganites and people who believe in just exploding 327 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: the American economy, global free traders, they are supply siders 328 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: supply they believe in supply side economics just increased supply, 329 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: increased supply to meet an ever increasing demand. We had 330 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: massive supply issues at the same time Biden and the 331 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: Democrats were creating massive demand issues by importing half of 332 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: the Third World into the United States. Now, what happens 333 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: if supply is severely limited, or even if supply, as 334 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: the COVID shutdowns gradually gave way, supply sort. 335 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 6: Of leveled out. 336 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: But even if supply, if the supply of a given 337 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 1: product or a given service stays roughly status quo, maybe 338 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: slightly increases, but all of a sudden there's a massive 339 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: demand for an increasingly scarce supply that's inflation. 340 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 6: So not only did Biden on. 341 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: The supply side screw things up, not only did Democrats 342 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: refuse to enact policies that would have been supply side 343 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: or growth based economic basics, they also screwed with the 344 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: demand side by importing millions and millions of people into 345 00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: the country. And this, folks, is you want to alleviate 346 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: a whole lot of pressure both downward pressure on wages 347 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: at the bottom end of the economy. I don't mean 348 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: this in a pejorative sense, but in terms of the 349 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: lowest socio economic classes, like lower class, lower middle class, 350 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: they're all also competing for the same jobs. Now, there 351 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: is a very interesting policy that just went into effect 352 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: a couple of hours ago. 353 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 6: That is the Trump. 354 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: Gold Card, where individuals can pay a million dollars to 355 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: come into this country and live here and work here. 356 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: Companies can pay two million dollars to get an employee here. 357 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: We're going to discuss this in some depth coming up 358 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 1: in the four o'clock hour right after the daily Trump date, 359 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: in whether this is actually economically speaking, a good idea. 360 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: What I can tell you was fundamentally a bad idea 361 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: was just sort of opening the doors and saying, all right, folks, vomitos, 362 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: come on in. It was an economic disaster. The price 363 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 1: of rent skyrocketed weirdly enough, especially in places where illegal 364 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: and legal immigrants were flooding into so wild how that happens. 365 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: There is a finite supply of houses, finite supply of apartments. 366 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: If there is a spigot of people coming in, there 367 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: is going to be a massive amount of new demand. 368 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: Supply demand. When it gets out of whack, you get inflation. 369 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: That's exactly what we had for four straight years. So 370 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: for all of these failures, for all of these failures, 371 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: Democrats believe they can actually turn those into an electoral 372 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: victory by pinning all of this on Trump. 373 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 6: Why because he didn't do enough. 374 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: You see, he didn't do enough to fix all of 375 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: the problems that Democrats caused. This is a brand new 376 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: perversion of the old Cloward Piven strategy. You've probably heard 377 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: me talk about that. If not, well you're in luck, 378 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: because we are going to talk about it coming out next. 379 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: Why you flood the system and then try to steer 380 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: people towards socialism, that's next on The Dan o'donald Show. 381 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: For those who are new to The Dan o'donald Show, 382 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: first of all, welcome. Second of all, you will likely 383 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: hear me talk a lot about a couple of things, 384 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: solid Lensky's rules for Radicals and the Cloward Piven strategy. 385 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: Cloward Piven. First of all, there were two sociologists who 386 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: were married to each other, Richard Cloward and Francis Fox Piven. No, 387 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: it is not named after Jeremy Piven, the star of 388 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: Entourage Ari Goal Let's Hug it Out bad Word. Francis 389 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: Fox Piven and Richard Cloward advanced the idea and they 390 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: were focused on welfare. What they ultimately we wanted was 391 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: what most fellow radical leftists wanted in the nineteen seventies, 392 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: and that's the exact same thing that radical leftists want 393 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenties. That is the destruction of the 394 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: capitalist state in the United States of America and its 395 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: replacement with a more equitable, just, socialist system that wouldn't 396 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: you know it, they, as the most equitable, just people 397 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 1: in the world, would be in charge of running. What 398 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: Cloward and Pivet said in the context of social welfare 399 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: is if you just overwhelm the system. If you create 400 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: so much demand for social welfare, the system will be flooded. 401 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: You will therefore be able to prove that the system 402 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: itself is unprepared to handle the needs of people in 403 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: the United States of America, and you will need something 404 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: like universal basic income, which essentially is a brand of socialism. 405 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: The government just gives people basic subsystem. Well, it controls 406 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: the means of production, and it controls the levers of 407 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: wealth in the levers of the economy, which of course 408 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: it only pulls for its select chosen few. Cloward Piven, 409 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 1: I hate to say, appears to be working very very 410 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: well in twenty twenty five. Now, it wasn't intentional, of course, 411 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: Democrats didn't want to destroy the nation's economy in twenty 412 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,240 Speaker 1: twenty one. Well, actually, I shouldn't say that. Maybe they 413 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: did in order to prove that capitalism was such a 414 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: massive failure, But I don't think in terms of recovering 415 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: from the COVID shutdowns and recovering from just a global 416 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: crisis which was largely overblown. As I think we now 417 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: all know, Democrats did in fact overwhelm the system. They 418 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 1: put the United States economy on tilt because cuause supply 419 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: and demand. We're so hopelessly out of whack now, however, 420 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: because they couldn't get supply and demand to meet at 421 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,719 Speaker 1: a happy medium for pretty much all four years Biden 422 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: was in power, and the only tool they really had 423 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: was aggressive rate increases by the Federal Reserve. And this 424 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: is exactly why President Trump is so hard on j 425 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 1: Rump out because he wants rates cutting down. He's saying, look, 426 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: if you keep cutting, if you keep cutting, if you 427 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: keep cutting at a much more aggressive rate, you are 428 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: going to spur economic activity. And we have nearly insatiable demand. 429 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: Just unleash the supply. Unleash the American economy. We've got 430 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: all this money coming in from tariffs. We can certainly 431 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:51,959 Speaker 1: keep up with demand. I'm not necessarily sure that's entirely true, 432 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: but I'm willing to wager that it's a much better 433 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: idea than whatever the hell was going on economically in 434 00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. 435 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 6: In twenty twenty two that got us into this mess. 436 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: Once Democrats realized how badly they had broken the system 437 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: and how badly they were punished at the ballot box 438 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: for that. In twenty twenty four, Trump once again, just 439 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: as he was in twenty sixteen. He was a response 440 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: to a thoroughly corrupt, broken political system. Trump was a 441 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: response to the Obama eras excesses, the Obama eras weaponization 442 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: of government, its cronyism, as evidenced by the fact that 443 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton could blatantly violate the law and walk away 444 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: scott free. Trump was the brick through the window of 445 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: the political establishment in twenty twenty four. Trump was the 446 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: response to the Biden era's destruction of the American economy 447 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: and the inability of Democrats to fix the mess that 448 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: they created. Well, once they lost and they realized it 449 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: took him a while to realize this. Once they realized 450 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: that the primary reason for or Trump's reascendancy in twenty 451 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: twenty four was because of the economic mess they had 452 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: made and how unaffordable they had made life for the 453 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: average American. 454 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 6: They needed a way to politicize it. They've done that. 455 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: Do you think it's a coincidence that an avowed socialist 456 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: is able to win overwhelmingly and admittedly one of the 457 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: most left wing places on planet Earth, New York City? 458 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: But Zorron Momdani, just like Trump, was a response to 459 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: people who stupidly believe that it's the system, who believe 460 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: that it's not just Trump, it's not just Republicans, but 461 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 1: it is in fact capitalism itself that is to blame 462 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: for what's going on economically. 463 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 6: Now in Texas. 464 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: We have had a whole lot of fun this week 465 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: playing Deep Thoughts by Jasmine Crockett. She was actually on 466 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: the Jake Tapper Show yesterday and something said some thing 467 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: fascinating and that was, Look, I'm not too radically left win. 468 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: I'm not too much of an out and out idiot 469 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: socialist for these Rube voters that we have in the 470 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: Democratic Party. Just look at Zoororn Mamdani. His win proves 471 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: that absolutely I can win in Texas. 472 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 6: Let me tell you something. 473 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 9: Mandami has not backed down whatsoever from his rhetoric against 474 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,959 Speaker 9: the president in the Oval office. He stood there and 475 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 9: he said what he said about him being a fascist. 476 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 9: Yet he was able to win those voters. So Democrats 477 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 9: that believe the only way that you can win is 478 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 9: by being soft and sounding like a Republican, that is 479 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 9: not true. What people are looking for are people that 480 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 9: are tough and are fighters and are going to fight 481 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 9: for them. 482 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: Boy I sure, hope democrats take that lesson from Zoorn 483 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: Mamdanie and run a whole bunch of socialists nationwide, especially 484 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: in fundamentally conservative states like Texas. 485 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,479 Speaker 6: But what she's saying does have a grain of truth 486 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 6: to it. 487 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: Socialism thrives when people feel as though the system has 488 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: failed them. Democrats are now engaging in a new cloward 489 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: pivot strategy. They have already overwhelmed this system. Prices are 490 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: not going to go down, at least to the level 491 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: that they were in twenty nineteen, unless we have some 492 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: sort of massive recession, and if we have a massive recession, 493 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: there is no hope for the party in power in 494 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six and probably twenty twenty eight as well. 495 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: But Democrats need to tell people, and the people that 496 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: they're telling are primarily not as politically astute and frankly 497 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: don't really follow current events all that closely and can 498 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: be easily convinced that, hey, it's Trump's fault. Prices are 499 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: so high, pay no attention to the last four years. 500 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 6: And even deeper than that. 501 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: Don't you think that it's fundamentally unfair that you went 502 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: to college four years You went to cal Berkeley and 503 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 1: You got a valuable degree in transgender ideological studies, but 504 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: you cannot get a job and now you're two hundred 505 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in debt. You did everything right, it's the 506 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 1: system that has failed you. That's Mom Donnie's message, isn't it? Ultimately, 507 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,719 Speaker 1: that's populism's message, both sides of that coin. I'm not 508 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: trying to compare Donald Trump the ultimate capitalist to Zoron 509 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: Mom Donnie. But Trump is a conservative populist. And what 510 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 1: was his message in twenty sixteen, The corrupt political system 511 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: failed you. What was his fundamental message in twenty twenty 512 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: four the corrupt, incompetent, probably designed collapse of the economics 513 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: system that's failed you. 514 00:33:59,440 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 6: I can fix. 515 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: Well, Unfortunately, the number one rule of sales is always 516 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: always under promise and over deliver, never the opposite. Don't 517 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,839 Speaker 1: over promise and underdeliver, otherwise you've got big problems. Well, 518 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 1: what was Trump's saying on the campaign trail. I will 519 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: fix inflation on day one. We've got a plan to 520 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: bring down prices. Well it's now nearly day three hundred 521 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: and sixty five, and people are realizing, Hey, prices haven't 522 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,240 Speaker 1: gone down, And yes, people really are that short sighted. 523 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: They think that a systematic malfunction in the nation's economy 524 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 1: brought about by incompetent socialist policies, can be fixed in 525 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 1: the better part of one calendar year, and they expect that. Fortunately, 526 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: not every member of the media is parroting the Democrat line. 527 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: I was actually kind of shocked. Although Joe kernin over 528 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: on CNBC he is big conservative. They actually had on 529 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 1: a former head of the SEC. They both agreed, Look, 530 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: the affordability crisis that Democrats are suddenly harping on, it's Biden. 531 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 5: And the affordability issue is but from the twenty two 532 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 5: percent increase in prices in inflation under. 533 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 6: Biden, there's this full stop right there. That's the affordability issue. 534 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 6: And you'll be able to explain that, right, that's right. 535 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,800 Speaker 10: And look, I think that with the economic team President 536 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 10: Trump and the economic team led by Scott Dessant, you 537 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 10: have people who very much understand this and it was 538 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 10: a were they were thrown You know what, I would say, 539 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:39,280 Speaker 10: the worst economy for the average American in my adult 540 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,839 Speaker 10: lifetime in terms of the like you said, the incredible 541 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 10: increase in prices at the household. 542 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, that I know that. 543 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: Now we've got to get the average voter to know that, 544 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 1: and that is a very difficult proposition.

Two weeks Oh my goodness, two weeks from 621 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: today is Christmas Eve. Even though I said fifteen days 622 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 1: from now is Christmas, it's just when you hear two 623 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 1: weeks from today is Christmas Eve, it just makes you 624 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,279 Speaker 1: think of all of this stuff you still have to do, 625 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: all the presents you still have to buy, all of 626 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 1: the gifts you still have to wrap. We actually did 627 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: well this year. My wife and I just got the 628 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,880 Speaker 1: Christmas cards in the mail today. 629 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 6: Usually that does that well. 630 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: We use a service called Shutterfly to make our cards, 631 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 1: which is fantastic. I highly recommend Shutterfly, but it would 632 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,240 Speaker 1: for the last couple of years, not matter how early 633 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: we got the Christmas card done. We would actually pay 634 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: to have Shutterfly address the envelopes and then mail them out. 635 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: It was something like a dollar per which seemed like 636 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,880 Speaker 1: a really good deal. The only problem we would get 637 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 1: the card done on like December second, and for whatever reason, 638 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,000 Speaker 1: people would not get the cards until like December twenty third. 639 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,200 Speaker 1: So finally we were like, okay, Shutterfly, you could address 640 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:50,160 Speaker 1: the envelopes. We'll dump them in the mailbox, thank you 641 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:55,560 Speaker 1: very much. So yeah, it's a very busy time of year, 642 00:41:55,840 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 1: and you know, we recognize that it is tough sometimes 643 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: to take that extra step and record your kid, but 644 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 1: trust me, it is so worth it. When you hear 645 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,120 Speaker 1: them singing their little hearts out, playing their little hearts out. 646 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 6: It makes my year. 647 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: Even though it is a ton of work and a 648 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,920 Speaker 1: ton of stress on me personally every single year putting 649 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 1: the show together. I wouldn't trade it for anything because 650 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 1: hearing your kids play and sing it just it. You 651 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 1: cannot possibly remain a grinch after hearing that, and I 652 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,359 Speaker 1: just it's such a labor of love. So DoD at 653 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot Com get those entries in. I'm starting to 654 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: think Friday might not be a hard and fast deadline. 655 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 1: I know, people, how about on the weekend? How about 656 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: we extend it? Should we extend the deadline?

It is a win for the administration. 671 00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 6: It's also a big win for the United States. We 672 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 6: have to keep winning. We have to win more. We're 673 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 6: gonna win Moore. 674 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,120 Speaker 1: And it was all about the economy. At a business 675 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:45,400 Speaker 1: roundtable today attended by the likes of Tim Cook from Apple, 676 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: Michael Dell of Dell Computers, who just gave the single 677 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,879 Speaker 1: biggest donation in the history of mankind, six point two 678 00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 1: five billion dollars to fund essentially accounts savings accounts for babies. 679 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,680 Speaker 1: They're known as Trump accounts, and they will teach hopefully 680 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: children and their parents compounding interest and how to build 681 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 1: real wealth in this country. The President did make some 682 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 1: news saying that the United States has seized a Venezuelan 683 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:14,880 Speaker 1: oil tanks. 684 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:20,040 Speaker 3: As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on 685 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:25,880 Speaker 3: the coast of VENEZUELA large tanker, very large, largest whatever 686 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 3: seased actually, and other things are happening, so you'll be 687 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 3: seeing that later and you'll be talking about that label 688 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 3: with some other vehople. 689 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 1: Now, this comes amid escalating tensions as the United States 690 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 1: has repeatedly bombed drug boats bound for the United States 691 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 1: from Venezuela and has been threatening in battle Venezuelan President 692 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 1: Nicholas Maduro with the possibility of some sort of ground 693 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: force to take out either the Maduro regime or the 694 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:03,320 Speaker 1: Venezuelan drug gangs. Clearly are propping him up, so it'll 695 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 1: be very interesting to see in the next couple of 696 00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:10,840 Speaker 1: hours and days where this standoff leads. The President also 697 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:16,319 Speaker 1: made some more news unveiling the Trump Gold Cards for 698 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:23,560 Speaker 1: legal immigrants. Individuals can purchase essentially protected status or legal 699 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: residency in the United States for a million dollar donation 700 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 1: to the US Treasury. Companies can do so for two 701 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: million dollars. 702 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 3: Companies are going to be able to go to the 703 00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 3: Work School of Finance, the Stern Business School, Harvard, Mit, 704 00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 3: wherever you may get any students, any school, and you're 705 00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,840 Speaker 3: able to buy a card and keep that person in 706 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 3: the United States. Actually say this certainty because a lot 707 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,920 Speaker 3: of I've heard from Tim Cook of Apple, and I've 708 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,359 Speaker 3: heard from a lot of people, some of the people 709 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 3: at the stable that essentially, in the United States, you 710 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 3: can't keep the student, you can't hire people from the 711 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 3: best college is because you don't know whether or not 712 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 3: you can keep the person. 713 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 12: They come and have the people. 714 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,360 Speaker 3: Get out and throw the person out of the country. 715 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,960 Speaker 3: You graduate number one from your college, and there's no 716 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,799 Speaker 3: way of guaranteeing I guess you could say there's no 717 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 3: way of guaranteeing that they're able to stay in the country. 718 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: Now, how exactly will this work? You basically pay to stay. 719 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,799 Speaker 1: I've heard of pay to play. This is pay to stay. 720 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik explained the excess and out it's. 721 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 12: One million dollars, and for corporation it's two million dollars. 722 00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 12: And as the President said, for a corporation they spend 723 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:52,360 Speaker 12: two million dollars, they can then have an employee full betting, 724 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,320 Speaker 12: the best betting the government has ever done, fifteen thousand 725 00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 12: dollars betting to make sure these people asksolutely qualified to 726 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:05,440 Speaker 12: be in America, absolutely qualify, and then the company can 727 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 12: keep them in and they have a path to citizenship. 728 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,399 Speaker 5: Right obviously they have to. 729 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,600 Speaker 6: Be perfect people in America. 730 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:15,880 Speaker 5: And having passed the betting, after five years they'll be 731 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 5: available to become citizens. And then the corporation you put 732 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 5: someone else on the car. So for a company they 733 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 5: can keep putting people on the car, one person per car, 734 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 5: and for an individual it's a million dollars. And it's 735 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,680 Speaker 5: a gift to the United States of America to help 736 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,120 Speaker 5: America be great again under Donald Trump. 737 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, that is your daily Trump Day. Every 738 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 1: day we take a look back at the things that 739 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: happen in Donald Trump's Washington free from liberal spin. The 740 00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:56,480 Speaker 1: Trump gold cards is frankly a great idea. Yes, it 741 00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:03,280 Speaker 1: is pay to play, Yes, absolutely, it does reward people 742 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:11,879 Speaker 1: who could essentially buy American citizenship. Think your average gangbanger 743 00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 1: trying to get into the country can afford that. The 744 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: reality is individuals are not going to be purchasing these. Sure, 745 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:26,200 Speaker 1: you could get the occasional multi multi multi millionaires is 746 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 1: desperate to get into America. But if generally speaking, somebody 747 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 1: has the kind of money where they can spend a 748 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,520 Speaker 1: million dollars to get themsells. First of all, they're not 749 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,799 Speaker 1: going to just pay a million dollars to get themselves in. 750 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 1: They're going to pay a million dollars to get their 751 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,759 Speaker 1: wife in, million dollars to get their kids in. These 752 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:46,000 Speaker 1: are very very wealthy individuals, and chances are if they've 753 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,839 Speaker 1: made their money in a foreign country, chances are they're 754 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:53,720 Speaker 1: pretty well established. And said foreign country. Where this becomes 755 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:59,400 Speaker 1: an excellent idea is in charging corporations two million dollars 756 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:03,000 Speaker 1: per employee. What we have been told, especially by Big Tech, 757 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:07,280 Speaker 1: is that well, we need H one B visas because 758 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:11,320 Speaker 1: there is such a significant skills gap here in this country. 759 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,959 Speaker 1: We can't possibly hire American workers. We need to get 760 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: Chinese and Indian workers to come in and do high 761 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,759 Speaker 1: tech jobs. Well, the H one B visa program has 762 00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: for a long time been exploited, and we're not actually 763 00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:32,919 Speaker 1: bringing in people who have just unique skill sets that 764 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:38,839 Speaker 1: American colleges aren't preparing students here in this country to meet. 765 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 1: We're bringing in people who are doing jobs that absolutely 766 00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 1: Americans can do, and quite frankly, they're taking jobs that 767 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 1: Americans otherwise would do. Well, why do we need more 768 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:50,920 Speaker 1: and more and more H one B visas? 769 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 6: Well? 770 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:53,839 Speaker 1: Because the reward is, hey, you get to come into 771 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 1: the United States, and oh, by the way, we're going 772 00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 1: to pay you fifty percent less than some who we 773 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 1: would just recruit from an American college. But hey, you 774 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 1: get to come to the United States. Guess what you 775 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,400 Speaker 1: get to come to the United States. Isn't that awesome? 776 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 1: Isn't that great? Yes, So companies love this because it 777 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 1: drives down the price of wages. Then all of a sudden, 778 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 1: American workers are competing with people on H one B 779 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,160 Speaker 1: visas who are being paid far less. This is also 780 00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:26,279 Speaker 1: the same reason that illegal immigration is so devastating at 781 00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,360 Speaker 1: the bottom edge of the wage scale. It's also why 782 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,640 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, of all people, has been such a vocal 783 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 1: opponent of illegal immigration. At least he was back before 784 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,560 Speaker 1: Democrats put all of their eggs in the illegal immigration 785 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:47,360 Speaker 1: basket to deliver them a permanent voter base and voting majority. 786 00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,640 Speaker 1: Sanders said, look, we need to secure our borders. There 787 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,359 Speaker 1: are hours of him saying we need to secure our 788 00:50:55,360 --> 00:51:01,319 Speaker 1: borders because illegal, unfettered immigration hurts the American worker. He 789 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,759 Speaker 1: then shut up about that for four straight years while 790 00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,800 Speaker 1: Democrats were just flooding the country with ten to twelve 791 00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:12,760 Speaker 1: million illegals, driving down the value of the American labor force. 792 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 1: But nonetheless, no one, no one ever said that Bernie 793 00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:22,160 Speaker 1: was an especially ethical guy. Actually, I shouldn't say that 794 00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,600 Speaker 1: Bernie is. For all of his faults, he is an ethical, 795 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:30,240 Speaker 1: not a consistent guy. He knows how to play politics, 796 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:34,960 Speaker 1: Let's just put it that way. The H one B 797 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:40,960 Speaker 1: visa has been one of the biggest farces in American immigration. 798 00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:47,359 Speaker 1: What this essentially forces companies, especially companies that really do 799 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:53,719 Speaker 1: need highly specialized employees to do highly specialized work that 800 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,320 Speaker 1: maybe we just don't have enough of. Look, this is 801 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 1: a pure numbers game. There are three hundred and forty 802 00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:06,080 Speaker 1: million Americans in this country, three hundred forty million people. 803 00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 1: Who knows how many actual Americans. My guess is it's 804 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 1: probably somewhere around three hundred and ten to three hundred 805 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,320 Speaker 1: and twenty million. There are a billion people in China 806 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:20,960 Speaker 1: and there are a billion people in India. People in 807 00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:24,759 Speaker 1: China and India are far more likely, at least in 808 00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:29,840 Speaker 1: the upper classes, to get into stems science, technology, engineering, 809 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,440 Speaker 1: and math. Here in the United States, we are really 810 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:38,080 Speaker 1: really good at turning out queer studies majors. It's we 811 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 1: are like the decadenced late stage Roman Empire. We can 812 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:47,800 Speaker 1: afford we have the luxury of not caring about stuff 813 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 1: that actually matters. That's how wealthy we are as a country. Well, 814 00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,319 Speaker 1: because there are so many people in India, so many 815 00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,720 Speaker 1: people in China, and because there is such an emphasis 816 00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:02,600 Speaker 1: on STEM careers, we really do need to import some 817 00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:06,440 Speaker 1: of the very best and very brightest people from those countries. 818 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 1: Because of the massive skills gap that we have here 819 00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:14,359 Speaker 1: in the United States, our colleges, our trade schools are 820 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:18,320 Speaker 1: high schools. They're not turning out employees who are able 821 00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:23,920 Speaker 1: to fill the jobs that are currently available. Suffice it 822 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 1: to say, there aren't a whole lot of queer studies 823 00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 1: jobs here in America or pretty much anywhere else. Maybe 824 00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,840 Speaker 1: France there are a lot of them. I just imagine 825 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,320 Speaker 1: France as a whole lot of queer studies majors walking 826 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:41,640 Speaker 1: around the cafes. There is a skills gap. Nobody's going 827 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:47,239 Speaker 1: to deny that. But the solution shouldn't be just importing 828 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:51,920 Speaker 1: labor that is going to undercut the American worker. The 829 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 1: solution should be a force. That force is a bad word. 830 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:06,279 Speaker 1: Incentivize colleges and individual students going into the careers that 831 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:12,440 Speaker 1: the American economy now needs, and be developing artificial intelligence 832 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:17,920 Speaker 1: and robotic systems that can essentially alleviate some of the 833 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:21,400 Speaker 1: burden on some of these high tech, especially coding jobs. 834 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 1: Either way, we do need immigration from other countries, and 835 00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:30,839 Speaker 1: traditionally immigration from other countries has been a good thing. 836 00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,840 Speaker 1: I know, I know, it's you think I am the racist, 837 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:39,160 Speaker 1: xenophobic conservative. You want to know why we won the 838 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:43,920 Speaker 1: space race back in the nineteen sixties. Do you know 839 00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:47,400 Speaker 1: where a lot of those rocket scientists came from? Have 840 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 1: you ever heard the name Werner von Braun? A lot 841 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:57,560 Speaker 1: of the scientists in the early days of NASAU were Nazis. 842 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 1: By the way, the left is going to say that 843 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 1: rockets are now racist. No, Werner von Braun was such 844 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:14,359 Speaker 1: a skilled rocket scientist that he was essentially given a choice. Hey, 845 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,959 Speaker 1: you can either go to prison for aiding in war 846 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,920 Speaker 1: crimes against the world, or you can come work for 847 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,440 Speaker 1: the United States government and help us beat the Soviets 848 00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:29,799 Speaker 1: to the mood. Guess which one old Werner picked. That's 849 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 1: a simplistic discussion of how the early NASA space program went. 850 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:41,120 Speaker 1: But a lot of the brain power actually did come 851 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:48,439 Speaker 1: from Nazi Germany. We understand and have always understood, in fact, 852 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 1: a lot of the brain power that built this country 853 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,880 Speaker 1: in the Industrial Revolution came from other places on Earth. 854 00:55:55,960 --> 00:56:01,040 Speaker 1: The concept of brain drain is not only beneficial to 855 00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:05,720 Speaker 1: the United States, it is also detrimental to our enemies. 856 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:09,400 Speaker 1: And we have no bigger enemy right now than China. 857 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:16,440 Speaker 1: Just saw a supposedly top secret report top headline on 858 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:20,000 Speaker 1: the Drudge Report today. I'm still one of the ogs 859 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:25,239 Speaker 1: who I'm like the last I'm like that last Japanese 860 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 1: fighter still on the island fighting World War two. I 861 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 1: think I'm the last conservative to still go to the 862 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,520 Speaker 1: Drudge Report every couple of days, because every so often 863 00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:37,800 Speaker 1: there is a decent story. Clearly something either he sold 864 00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 1: the site, he has nothing to do with it, or 865 00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:44,680 Speaker 1: he's been replaced invasion of the body snatcher's style. But 866 00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 1: something has happened to Matt Drudge because I usually go 867 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,919 Speaker 1: to the Drudge Report for the liberal take on things. Now, 868 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:53,759 Speaker 1: that's how far to the left it's going. It's not 869 00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:57,239 Speaker 1: just anti Trump because Drudge had a massive falling out 870 00:56:57,239 --> 00:57:01,440 Speaker 1: with Trump. It is fundamentally a left wing news aggregator. 871 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 8: Now. 872 00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 1: Top story on the Drudge Report, though, said, because of 873 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 1: China's dominance in the development of hypersonic missiles, if we 874 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,280 Speaker 1: were to go to war over Taiwan, the Chinese would 875 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:20,520 Speaker 1: absolutely destroy the American naval fleet. We would actually have 876 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:24,320 Speaker 1: our most advanced aircraft carriers sunk within a matter of 877 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:29,480 Speaker 1: minutes because of Chinese hypersonic missiles. Now I can tell 878 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:33,040 Speaker 1: you have missile defense systems that the world has no 879 00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:36,800 Speaker 1: idea about. We also have offensive capabilities that the world 880 00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 1: can only lust after. Case in point, we blew out 881 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:47,000 Speaker 1: of the sky custom Sulimani as soon as he got 882 00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,560 Speaker 1: off a plane in Iraq, Iran's top general. Remember that 883 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 1: it was January of twenty sixteen. Everyone thought it was 884 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 1: going to lead to World War two. Hey, did anybody 885 00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,600 Speaker 1: know that we were about to take out Iran's entire 886 00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,520 Speaker 1: nuclear program? 887 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:02,520 Speaker 6: We did it? 888 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,280 Speaker 1: You really, you really think we're just going to put 889 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 1: a big old aircraft carrier in and wait for the 890 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:13,280 Speaker 1: Chinese hypersonic missiles to shoot it down. Okay, drudge, Okay, 891 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:16,800 Speaker 1: top secret report that was supposedly leaked to the UK 892 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 1: Daily Mail. But the point is, in terms of our 893 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:24,360 Speaker 1: discussion about H one B visas and about the concept 894 00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:28,200 Speaker 1: of brain drain, is if we are bringing in the 895 00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:35,240 Speaker 1: top minds behind Chinese missile technologies, well that technology becomes 896 00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 1: our technology. That's a very very good thing. But I 897 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:45,560 Speaker 1: understand the argument against bringing in people to compete with 898 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,840 Speaker 1: Americans for jobs, and that's why I'd like to have 899 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:52,080 Speaker 1: a discussion. I know you folks have some strong opinions 900 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,000 Speaker 1: about this, the idea of H one B visas and 901 00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,760 Speaker 1: these would actually be I believe they're ED one and 902 00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,760 Speaker 1: ED two VSA is the Trump gold cards. I think 903 00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:04,880 Speaker 1: it's actually the perfect solution to this. 904 00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:06,320 Speaker 6: But what say you four. 905 00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,280 Speaker 1: One, four, seven, nine, nine, eleven, thirty or one eight 906 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:13,080 Speaker 1: hundred eight three eight nine four seven six. We will 907 00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:15,320 Speaker 1: take your phone calls. We will read some of your 908 00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:19,920 Speaker 1: texts when the nan o'donald Show returns in just three minutes. 909 00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:26,360 Speaker 1: Felly Snubby Dodd from all of us here at the 910 00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,760 Speaker 1: dan o'donald Show, Welcome back to it. President Trump today 911 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:34,480 Speaker 1: announcing his gold cards. This is something that he was 912 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,760 Speaker 1: discussing for a while. Now it is now finally live. 913 00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:42,919 Speaker 1: You can actually go to the Trump Gold Card website 914 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:46,920 Speaker 1: and purchase for one million dollars your entry into the 915 00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 1: United States for an individual. For a company, it is 916 00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 1: two million dollars. Legal immigration has always been it's sort 917 00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:01,959 Speaker 1: of been something that traditional conservatives the apply side Reagan era, 918 01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 1: Bush era pro growth, global economy conservatives have always been 919 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,720 Speaker 1: a big fan of Trump sort of broke the mold 920 01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:13,640 Speaker 1: on that one because he was a very America first 921 01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:18,560 Speaker 1: oriented president and he has been putting the focus on 922 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:23,200 Speaker 1: protecting the American worker. The idea that we should just 923 01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:27,920 Speaker 1: be importing people to take American jobs is frankly something 924 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:32,640 Speaker 1: that I was always a little uneasy about in the 925 01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 1: Bush and Reagan eras, and in fact, I think the 926 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:40,360 Speaker 1: biggest mistake that George W. Bush made post nine to 927 01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:45,440 Speaker 1: eleven was not sealing off the border. You would have absolutely, 928 01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:51,400 Speaker 1: you would have one hundred percent and completely shutting down immigration, 929 01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:56,000 Speaker 1: both legal and illegal, and seriously vetting all of the 930 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,240 Speaker 1: people that were bringing into the country. We didn't because 931 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:04,320 Speaker 1: there was a big movement of big business that wanted 932 01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,800 Speaker 1: its cheap labor. But when you talk about the Trump 933 01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:11,440 Speaker 1: gold cards, I mean you're bringing in truly the absolute 934 01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:15,080 Speaker 1: best and the absolute rightest. Think we're bringing in truly 935 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:21,280 Speaker 1: unique people like say Elon Musk. Elon Musk, by the way, 936 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,080 Speaker 1: is the one the wealthiest man in the world who 937 01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:27,560 Speaker 1: has created more jobs than almost any human being and 938 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,360 Speaker 1: has yes paid more taxes. Do you realize it's this 939 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:35,360 Speaker 1: myth that Elon Musk doesn't pay taxes. He paid eleven 940 01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:40,919 Speaker 1: billion with a B dollars in taxes in twenty twenty 941 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,200 Speaker 1: one days, the single biggest tax bill anyone has ever 942 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 1: paid in the history of this country. But liberals like 943 01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:52,120 Speaker 1: podcast host Jennifer Welch, Today's unhinged Liberal of the day, 944 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,880 Speaker 1: still think he is a parasite and he is the 945 01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:59,320 Speaker 1: one immigrant that we should not have in this country. 946 01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:04,680 Speaker 11: It's while how rural America, like they believe that land 947 01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:11,080 Speaker 11: votes and they don't understand that they're being taxed at 948 01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 11: a higher rate than somebody like Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk, 949 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:20,520 Speaker 11: who I want to remind everybody that's against immigration is 950 01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 11: a freaking immigrant. I just think it's really important to 951 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,240 Speaker 11: remind everybody all the time that Elon Musk is a 952 01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:26,880 Speaker 11: fucking immigrant that doesn't pay taxes. 953 01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:33,960 Speaker 6: He is a parasite off the American parasite. He's a parasite. 954 01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:38,920 Speaker 1: He puts rockets into space and then catches them so 955 01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:45,480 Speaker 1: they can be reused. He has directly and indirectly, through 956 01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:50,040 Speaker 1: Tesla and SpaceX's impact on the global supply chain, created 957 01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:55,920 Speaker 1: an estimated six hundred thousand jobs. Six hundred thousand, that 958 01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 1: is more people than who live in the city of 959 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:04,280 Speaker 1: mill Walkee employed directly or indirectly because of Elon Musk, 960 01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:10,080 Speaker 1: the so called parasite who sucks off of the American taxpayer. 961 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,040 Speaker 1: Let's go out to the phones and talk with Cody 962 01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,280 Speaker 1: in Burlington. You're up first on the Dan O'Donnell show. 963 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas to you, Cody. 964 01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 13: Hey, Merry Christmas. 965 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:20,600 Speaker 3: Hey. 966 01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 13: I just want to touch on something you said earlier 967 01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:27,000 Speaker 13: about how our country's education system just isn't churning out 968 01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:28,960 Speaker 13: the skilled workers that we need and that we've got 969 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,960 Speaker 13: to outsource some. And you know, I'm a not that 970 01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,680 Speaker 13: I'm not a fan of the gold card membership. I 971 01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,200 Speaker 13: think that's a classic Trump idea, but. 972 01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:42,120 Speaker 1: Especially the color right, Sure you knew it was gonna 973 01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:42,520 Speaker 1: be gold. 974 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:46,280 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be gold. It's gonna be great. 975 01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:48,880 Speaker 13: But I'd love to hear about an announcement from the 976 01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,400 Speaker 13: Trump administration about a new program, a new like you said, 977 01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:56,680 Speaker 13: incentivize our up and coming youth to go and want 978 01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,240 Speaker 13: to be that skilled worker that making the big box. 979 01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,280 Speaker 13: I mean for someone news. I'm thirty thirty one years 980 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,680 Speaker 13: old and I'm gonna have a kid soon. I love 981 01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:06,920 Speaker 13: the idea of my kid growing up in a country 982 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:11,200 Speaker 13: where we're we're you know, we're educating our youth to 983 01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:14,439 Speaker 13: go and be those problems solvers, those future Elon Musk. 984 01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:20,240 Speaker 1: You know, Well, unfortunately, Cody, that's that's way bigger than 985 01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,320 Speaker 1: Trump or any politician or any government.

Okay, so last year, 1013 01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,520 Speaker 1: like he's running for governor of Ohio. But he was 1014 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:45,040 Speaker 1: like done, well one, yeah, right, didn't he The reason 1015 01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:48,840 Speaker 1: was a he really got on everybody's nerves. That apparently 1016 01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:50,800 Speaker 1: is a real thing. I heard that multiple times when 1017 01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:52,440 Speaker 1: I was at the White House, like he was just 1018 01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,960 Speaker 1: apparently an annoying guy and like Elon Musk hated him. 1019 01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,760 Speaker 1: Uh right after he was either right after Christmas or 1020 01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:03,760 Speaker 1: right before. Right around this time last year, there was 1021 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:06,280 Speaker 1: a big debate about this exact same thing. H One 1022 01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,360 Speaker 1: b Visus and he put out a tweet and it 1023 01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,720 Speaker 1: was very long tweet, is a very well written tweet, 1024 01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:16,440 Speaker 1: and he said, look, the reason that you have so 1025 01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:20,000 Speaker 1: many Indians who need to come in VIVEC is obviously Indian. 1026 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,640 Speaker 1: The reason I have so many Indians coming in is 1027 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:30,040 Speaker 1: because Indian culture values the math superstar and the Chess 1028 01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:36,240 Speaker 1: Club champion and the Science Club captain. American culture values 1029 01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,040 Speaker 1: and he listed all of these, you know, he said, 1030 01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:42,160 Speaker 1: like Zach Morris and like TV characters who are kind 1031 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:46,840 Speaker 1: of slackers, and he said American culture values the captain 1032 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,320 Speaker 1: of the football team and the prom queen. He said, 1033 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:55,200 Speaker 1: this is a massive cultural issue and the implication that 1034 01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,920 Speaker 1: a lot of MAGA took from that especially in the 1035 01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,800 Speaker 1: Trump White House, Cody was that he I'm saying Indians 1036 01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:03,439 Speaker 1: are better than Americans, And there was. 1037 01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:05,400 Speaker 6: There was a little bit of that there. 1038 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 1: Don't don't get me wrong, there was a little bit 1039 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,160 Speaker 1: of that, But there was a lot of truth in that. 1040 01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:09,960 Speaker 6: Right. 1041 01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,800 Speaker 1: So when you say, hey, we need more Americans to 1042 01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:16,760 Speaker 1: take these these high tech jobs, well, what what do 1043 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:21,840 Speaker 1: we culturally aspire to when we're young? Being a football star, 1044 01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:26,200 Speaker 1: being an actor, being a rapper, now being a video 1045 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,280 Speaker 1: game streamer for goodness sakes. But by the way, watch 1046 01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:32,840 Speaker 1: out for that with your kid. The video games.

Probably not because you're not 1060 01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,720 Speaker 1: very far along or your wife is not very far along. 1061 01:08:16,320 --> 01:08:18,679 Speaker 1: You don't know yet what you're having. No, no, okay, 1062 01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,920 Speaker 1: but what about in twenty years when your son or 1063 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,040 Speaker 1: daughter is nineteen twenty years old? 1064 01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,120 Speaker 6: What happens if they don't need to work? Right? 1065 01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:32,040 Speaker 1: What happens if work really is optional? These are all 1066 01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:36,000 Speaker 1: fascinating questions.

Great conversation, Cody, 1070 01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,479 Speaker 1: really do appreciate it. I'm looking at the clock and 1071 01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,519 Speaker 1: realize we are way way late for a break. 1072 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:53,400 Speaker 6: So let's take it right now. 1073 01:08:53,439 --> 01:09:00,000 Speaker 1: Dan O'donnald Show. Coming right back in just a second. 1074 01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,080 Speaker 1: Back out to the phones here on the Dan o'donald 1075 01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:06,840 Speaker 1: Show and talk with Mike in Milwaukee.

I actually like him. Sometimes those geniuses 1083 01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,599 Speaker 8: with high brain functioning powers, like with him and Elon 1084 01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:34,519 Speaker 8: mus don't always get along. That's not unusual. But I 1085 01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:38,360 Speaker 8: really do like Vivek Ramaswami. He's been quiet. But when 1086 01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:41,559 Speaker 8: I watched the primary debates, and when you go back 1087 01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:43,400 Speaker 8: and look at the primary debates and watch him on 1088 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:46,400 Speaker 8: YouTube or whatever you use, and really watched the last 1089 01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:49,280 Speaker 8: couple of debates, he was already out of it. Yeah, 1090 01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:52,240 Speaker 8: he had one single mission. He was out to sink 1091 01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:54,240 Speaker 8: Nikki Haley, and I'm glad he did. 1092 01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:56,479 Speaker 6: That's actually kind of true. 1093 01:09:56,520 --> 01:10:00,519 Speaker 1: I was actually at the first debate in Milwaukee, if remember, 1094 01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:04,800 Speaker 1: in August of twenty twenty three, and it was he 1095 01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:10,000 Speaker 1: was so it was like someone gave a chipmunk five 1096 01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:13,479 Speaker 1: shots of espresso. That's what he was like. And frankly, 1097 01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:17,439 Speaker 1: i've I've always thought Vivek was I don't want to 1098 01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:19,680 Speaker 1: say he's a grifter. I don't want to say he's 1099 01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:25,160 Speaker 1: a snake oil salesman, but I also don't not want 1100 01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:29,080 Speaker 1: to say that at just google for yourself how he 1101 01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:34,559 Speaker 1: made his money. But he was very clearly a stalking 1102 01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:38,000 Speaker 1: horse for Trump. What he was angling for from the 1103 01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 1: very beginning was a job in the Trump administration. Mike, 1104 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,160 Speaker 1: thank you very much for the call. 1105 01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:46,720 Speaker 6: Vivet grew on me. 1106 01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,840 Speaker 1: Actually he grew on me quite a bit because I 1107 01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:55,320 Speaker 1: realized he was at least somewhat genuine. I still still 1108 01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,640 Speaker 1: got a whole lot of snake oil salesman, and I 1109 01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:00,639 Speaker 1: just I haven't totally warmed up to him. What we're 1110 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,040 Speaker 1: talking about, though, is in the context of about a 1111 01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:09,120 Speaker 1: year ago, Vivek essentially got drummed out of the MAGA movement, 1112 01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:12,360 Speaker 1: certainly out of the Trump Whitehouse. Remember he and Elon 1113 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:18,080 Speaker 1: were going to co run Doge, and Elon very quickly 1114 01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:22,200 Speaker 1: forced Vivec out. I guess yes, Vivic. People are telling 1115 01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:24,040 Speaker 1: me the correct pronunciation. 1116 01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:24,599 Speaker 6: Is vivic vivic. 1117 01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:31,920 Speaker 1: Vivec put out a tweet in which he said, Hey, uh, 1118 01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:37,360 Speaker 1: the reason that America is in sort of dire economic 1119 01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:43,679 Speaker 1: straits is because we aren't putting the same value on education. 1120 01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:47,000 Speaker 1: We aren't putting the same value on STEM careers, we 1121 01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:51,559 Speaker 1: aren't putting the same value on making it quote unquote 1122 01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:55,439 Speaker 1: in America in the same way that say Indian immigrants are. 1123 01:11:55,640 --> 01:12:01,240 Speaker 1: And this is why we do need skilled immigrant visus visas, 1124 01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,479 Speaker 1: and we do need to bring in people from across 1125 01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,840 Speaker 1: the world to do the jobs, not just that Americans 1126 01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:11,120 Speaker 1: won't do. We get that argument all the time with 1127 01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:15,519 Speaker 1: illegal immigration. Americans won't be maids, Americans won't be cooks, 1128 01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:20,240 Speaker 1: Americans won't be farmers, Give me a break. We also 1129 01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:23,920 Speaker 1: get the argument at the higher levels of the economic 1130 01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:28,040 Speaker 1: spectrum that there are jobs that Americans just aren't qualified for. 1131 01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:32,120 Speaker 1: That and in fact, Trump, rather infamously about a month 1132 01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 1: or so ago, made that argument on the Laura Ingram Show. 1133 01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:38,759 Speaker 1: You said, Hey, Laura, look, our colleges just we don't 1134 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,880 Speaker 1: have enough skilled labors. You can't pull somebody off of 1135 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:45,400 Speaker 1: the unemployment line and just put them on an assembly 1136 01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:50,160 Speaker 1: line to do highly skilled work, highly skilled robotic work 1137 01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:53,640 Speaker 1: or mechanical work or whatever it is. And Ingram, to 1138 01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,479 Speaker 1: her immense credit, pushed back on him and said, look, 1139 01:12:56,880 --> 01:13:00,519 Speaker 1: we have three hundred and thirty million people telling me 1140 01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:05,439 Speaker 1: that we can't find or train or educate people in 1141 01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:09,120 Speaker 1: this country to do the jobs that America needs them 1142 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:09,519 Speaker 1: to do. 1143 01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:11,040 Speaker 6: Certainly we can. 1144 01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:17,400 Speaker 1: Trump is very big on legal immigration, but I believe 1145 01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:22,679 Speaker 1: the Trump gold card will actually make companies put literally 1146 01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,120 Speaker 1: their money where their mouths are. They're saying, Okay, we 1147 01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:29,000 Speaker 1: need this skilled libor, we need these very highly skilled people. Well, 1148 01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:32,680 Speaker 1: are they worth two million dollars to you? If so, 1149 01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 1: import them. If not, find them or train them in 1150 01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:40,320 Speaker 1: the United States. When we come back, we will name 1151 01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,600 Speaker 1: the unsung hero of the day. You're listening to the 1152 01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:48,160 Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show. Ten year old boy shot and killed 1153 01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:52,960 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee overnight. The media may have moved on from 1154 01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:56,839 Speaker 1: the horrible crime problem in Democrat controlled cities. 1155 01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:58,120 Speaker 6: We have not. 1156 01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:02,840 Speaker 1: We will discuss plus Peyton Peyton Morgan Geyserd. I'm getting 1157 01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:05,880 Speaker 1: her confused with her victim is now gone from the 1158 01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:10,080 Speaker 1: Waukeshaw County jail. Don't worry, she and her creepy forty 1159 01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:13,640 Speaker 1: something boyfriend did not escape again. She's back at a 1160 01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:17,760 Speaker 1: mental health facility which she never should have left. We 1161 01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,000 Speaker 1: will get into that and much much more coming up 1162 01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,519 Speaker 1: in the five o'clock hour here on the Dan o'donnald Show. 1163 01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:24,719 Speaker 1: Right now, though, it is time to name our unsung 1164 01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:36,200 Speaker 1: hero today. Today's unsung hero is a six year old 1165 01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:41,639 Speaker 1: by the name of Xander Macajewski. I do apologize if 1166 01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:44,400 Speaker 1: I am absolutely butchering his name. 1167 01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:45,160 Speaker 6: Well. 1168 01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:49,360 Speaker 1: Two years ago, he was released from the hospital after 1169 01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:53,160 Speaker 1: he had a very serious health issue. This year, for 1170 01:14:53,280 --> 01:15:00,000 Speaker 1: Christmas time, he has returned to deliver gifts to the children. 1171 01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:05,240 Speaker 1: What an incredible kind young man. In August of twenty 1172 01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:08,280 Speaker 1: twenty three, the story from Today's TMJ foury was just four. 1173 01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:12,240 Speaker 1: Xander went into septic shock due to a rare immune 1174 01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:16,800 Speaker 1: condition called neutropenius. Spent ten days on life support in 1175 01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:22,320 Speaker 1: weeks at Children's Hospital awaiting a bone marrow transplant. Well, 1176 01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:27,599 Speaker 1: he has recovered after seven days of chemotherapy. He received 1177 01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:33,960 Speaker 1: his transplant in twenty twenty three, and he is here now. 1178 01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,840 Speaker 1: He's giving back this holiday season, healthy and back in school, 1179 01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:42,160 Speaker 1: playing baseball, football, and basketball with his brothers. Xander is 1180 01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:47,000 Speaker 1: returning the kindness, creating an Amazon wish list filled with 1181 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:51,520 Speaker 1: toys he loved during his hospital stay and donating them 1182 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:55,640 Speaker 1: to kids at Children's Hospital. What an incredible story for 1183 01:15:55,680 --> 01:15:58,880 Speaker 1: the holidays. Xander, you are our unsung hero. 1184 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:08,360 Speaker 6: Of the day, and so do we here at the 1185 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:09,880 Speaker 6: Dano Donald Show. 1186 01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:16,639 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwansa. 1187 01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:22,160 Speaker 1: I guess we're gonna pretend that that's actually a real thing. No, 1188 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:25,840 Speaker 1: I'm dead serious, it is. It is an absolute leftist 1189 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,639 Speaker 1: farce and the story of the guy who made up 1190 01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:35,200 Speaker 1: Kwanza in the nineteen sixties. People just assume gullible wine 1191 01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:40,280 Speaker 1: Mom lives just to assume it goes back to ancient Africa. 1192 01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:41,760 Speaker 6: It does not. 1193 01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:48,680 Speaker 1: It goes back to a left wing, insane, violent socialist 1194 01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:53,400 Speaker 1: college professor from the nineteen sixties. Kwansa is not a 1195 01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:56,800 Speaker 1: real thing. It is not. Okay, people may celebrate it, 1196 01:16:57,040 --> 01:17:01,160 Speaker 1: people may, but it's it is not imbi with the 1197 01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:06,360 Speaker 1: history and tradition of Saahonka or a Christmas or an Easter, 1198 01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:12,840 Speaker 1: It's not this deep cultural celebration. June teenth is much 1199 01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:18,600 Speaker 1: more of a traditional Black holiday, right. It was the 1200 01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:23,360 Speaker 1: day in Galveston, Texas in eighteen sixty five. I believe 1201 01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:26,800 Speaker 1: that the final slaves got word that the Civil War 1202 01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:30,479 Speaker 1: had ended and they were freed. Yes, in case you 1203 01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,240 Speaker 1: are taking a look at the calendar as a wait 1204 01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:36,160 Speaker 1: a second, wait a second, June nineteenth, I thought the 1205 01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,559 Speaker 1: Civil War ended in April. Well, yes, it took word 1206 01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:43,160 Speaker 1: a while to reach some of the most far flung places. 1207 01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:49,280 Speaker 1: In eighteen hundreds of America and Galveston, Texas was the 1208 01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:54,479 Speaker 1: last place where word reached and the final slaves were freed. Okay, yes, 1209 01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:58,880 Speaker 1: that has history to it. I do believe it is 1210 01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:04,760 Speaker 1: an attempt at division to have essentially an Independence Day 1211 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,719 Speaker 1: for one race of people two weeks before the entire 1212 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:13,439 Speaker 1: country celebrates Independence Day. But okay, I'll give you that 1213 01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:17,599 Speaker 1: crazy left wing holiday. Even though it is a date 1214 01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:23,519 Speaker 1: of significance on the calendar, kwanza Is is just its 1215 01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:28,680 Speaker 1: leftist pap even more so than say Arbor Day or 1216 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:32,760 Speaker 1: Labor Day. Labor Day that also has some history. But 1217 01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:38,320 Speaker 1: let's face it, that isn't in the pantheon of American holidays. 1218 01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:40,679 Speaker 6: It's not up there. 1219 01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,240 Speaker 1: That said, I do like the random day off at 1220 01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,320 Speaker 1: the end of summer. It's a nice little bookend. We've 1221 01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:51,120 Speaker 1: got Memorial Day, which obviously is a day that we 1222 01:18:51,200 --> 01:18:56,840 Speaker 1: do need to mark and honor Veterans Day. It just 1223 01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:01,680 Speaker 1: it's always hilarious to me, arman. Have you heard me 1224 01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,439 Speaker 1: do all of the days of the year that are 1225 01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:11,439 Speaker 1: dedicated to the LGBTQ plus community. Yeah, we actually we 1226 01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:15,920 Speaker 1: did the math. It is roughly thirty three percent of 1227 01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:21,400 Speaker 1: the calendar year is dedicated to an LGBTQ Day of 1228 01:19:21,479 --> 01:19:26,879 Speaker 1: Remembrance or visibility, or Gay History Month or a sexual 1229 01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:31,960 Speaker 1: Awareness Day. We have two days for veterans and roughly 1230 01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:37,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty sum dedicated to the gay community. 1231 01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:41,760 Speaker 1: All right, and that is my tangent on holidays for 1232 01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:45,800 Speaker 1: the year. What a happy quanta nonetheleast four one, four 1233 01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:49,200 Speaker 1: seven nine to nine eleven thirty or one eight hundred 1234 01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:51,920 Speaker 1: and eight three eight nine four seven six.

It turns out now new report from 1245 01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:33,400 Speaker 1: the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's office that the child shot 1246 01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:38,000 Speaker 1: in Milwaukee last night very likely died of an accidental 1247 01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:42,519 Speaker 1: self inflicted gunshot wound. Forty six year old man thirty 1248 01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:46,120 Speaker 1: six year old woman believed to be the parents, have 1249 01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:53,760 Speaker 1: been taken into custody. This is the tenth child to die. Now, 1250 01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:58,920 Speaker 1: initially this was a recorded as a homicide because it 1251 01:20:59,040 --> 01:21:03,479 Speaker 1: was initially believed that the child was killed by someone else. 1252 01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:05,960 Speaker 6: Did I say tenth? Twentieth? 1253 01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:10,879 Speaker 1: There were twenty homicides According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinels 1254 01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:16,240 Speaker 1: Homicide Tracker, which is available at jsonline dot com, twenty 1255 01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:23,360 Speaker 1: children have been killed in Milwaukee this year. We are 1256 01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:28,240 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you noticed tracking significantly upwards in 1257 01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:32,479 Speaker 1: homicides in the city of Milwaukee, again after a couple 1258 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:37,400 Speaker 1: of years of homicides going down. Now all of this 1259 01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:43,000 Speaker 1: is rather moot if you're trying to compare homicides. 1260 01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:46,160 Speaker 6: Year to year. We are light years. 1261 01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:49,559 Speaker 1: Above where we were in the pre George Floyd era 1262 01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:55,280 Speaker 1: of twenty eleven to twenty nineteen. So far this year, 1263 01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:59,120 Speaker 1: there have been one hundred and thirty one homicides. The 1264 01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:02,479 Speaker 1: only reason the homicide rate has sort of slowed down 1265 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,799 Speaker 1: from its torrid pace over the past couple of weeks 1266 01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:08,840 Speaker 1: is because it's been really cold and we've had a 1267 01:22:08,880 --> 01:22:13,599 Speaker 1: ton of snow. We do have five more homicides than 1268 01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:17,080 Speaker 1: we did, according to again the js online Homicide Tracker, 1269 01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:21,479 Speaker 1: than we did at the same point last year in 1270 01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:30,439 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, there were my computer is now slowing down. 1271 01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:34,439 Speaker 1: I believe the number was one hundred and forty two. 1272 01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:42,360 Speaker 1: If I am remembering correctly, we have seen a dramatic 1273 01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:46,479 Speaker 1: uptick in homicides since there was a concerted effort in 1274 01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:49,559 Speaker 1: the City of Milwaukee, the Milwaukee County criminal justice system, 1275 01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:53,519 Speaker 1: and really all across the country to decriminalize crime. Now, 1276 01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:57,960 Speaker 1: what happened to that poor child last night was not 1277 01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:01,320 Speaker 1: a homicide. It was an accidental shit shooting. Yet, if 1278 01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:05,280 Speaker 1: and when we get charges against the two parents, I'm 1279 01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:08,320 Speaker 1: going to take a wild guess that you are going 1280 01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:12,839 Speaker 1: to have all manner of leniency after long criminal records. 1281 01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:15,520 Speaker 1: The gun is probably going. 1282 01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:18,000 Speaker 6: To be unlicensed. 1283 01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:21,679 Speaker 1: It is going to be almost certainly someone who should 1284 01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:24,920 Speaker 1: not be in possession of a gun. But we've just 1285 01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:30,720 Speaker 1: seen the exact same story replay over and over and 1286 01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:36,400 Speaker 1: over again. Unfortunately I was right. Did I say one 1287 01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:38,759 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two. It was one hundred and fifty 1288 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:44,040 Speaker 1: one total homicides those that fit the definition the Uniform 1289 01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:48,000 Speaker 1: Crime Reporting definition of a homicide it was one hundred 1290 01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:52,360 Speaker 1: and thirty four, one hundred and thirty one homicides so 1291 01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:55,160 Speaker 1: far this year one hundred No I think I said 1292 01:23:55,160 --> 01:23:58,639 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty two has ten off. The bottom line, though, 1293 01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:02,719 Speaker 1: is we have had upwards of one hundred ninety two 1294 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:06,280 Speaker 1: hundred homicides twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two. The fact 1295 01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:11,360 Speaker 1: that they're going down marginally from that is not something 1296 01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:15,479 Speaker 1: that we should necessarily celebrate. We should compare where we 1297 01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:19,639 Speaker 1: are in twenty twenty five, to say, a baseline year 1298 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:24,800 Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen right now, one hundred and thirty one 1299 01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:28,719 Speaker 1: homicides in twenty twenty five, in all of twenty nineteen, 1300 01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:33,200 Speaker 1: there were ninety eight in twenty eighteen, one hundred and 1301 01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 1: one twenty seventeen. That was a particularly bad year. One 1302 01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:42,400 Speaker 1: hundred nineteen homicides, in other words, were dramatically down, not 1303 01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:46,160 Speaker 1: just in Milwaukee but all across the country. They spiked 1304 01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:48,880 Speaker 1: up a little bit in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen 1305 01:24:48,960 --> 01:24:52,280 Speaker 1: with the hands up, don't shoot movement, and of course 1306 01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:57,120 Speaker 1: that sparked something called the Ferguson effect, where police officers 1307 01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:01,120 Speaker 1: no longer would engage in proactive police saying they wouldn't 1308 01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:05,320 Speaker 1: approach suspicious people because they didn't want to be forced 1309 01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:08,439 Speaker 1: to draw their firearm. They didn't want to be forced 1310 01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:11,920 Speaker 1: to shoot someone in self defense or to stop a 1311 01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,960 Speaker 1: violent crime from being committed. They didn't want to be 1312 01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:22,320 Speaker 1: the next main character for the online mob. Derek Chauvin 1313 01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:30,840 Speaker 1: was the ultimate main character. Would you believe, incidentally, that 1314 01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:35,680 Speaker 1: even jurors on Derek Chauvin's trial did not believe that 1315 01:25:35,920 --> 01:25:40,759 Speaker 1: he smothered George Floyd or that he restricted the blood 1316 01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 1: flow to his brain so that he died. Floyd did 1317 01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:47,040 Speaker 1: not die of a homicide. The official autopsy found he 1318 01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:50,719 Speaker 1: did not die. Jurors actually said later that they didn't 1319 01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:55,040 Speaker 1: believe that Chauvin was kind enough when he realized that 1320 01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:58,840 Speaker 1: George Floyd was in the throes of a drug overdose. 1321 01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:02,520 Speaker 1: That's what ultimately killed George Floyd is not an overdose 1322 01:26:02,680 --> 01:26:05,400 Speaker 1: per se, but the fact that the drugs in his 1323 01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:10,639 Speaker 1: system combined with all he was so agitated, his heart 1324 01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:14,320 Speaker 1: just exploded. I mean, he had a fatal heart attack 1325 01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:17,559 Speaker 1: as a result of that. He did not die because 1326 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:21,639 Speaker 1: of the restrictive hold. He died because he had enough 1327 01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:27,880 Speaker 1: fentanyl to kill an elephant in his system. But the 1328 01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:33,200 Speaker 1: George Floyd effect was sort of the Ferguson effect on steroids. 1329 01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,640 Speaker 1: Not only did you have police officers not wanting to 1330 01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:41,479 Speaker 1: engage in proactive policing, you also had the Milwaukee County 1331 01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:46,679 Speaker 1: District Attorney's Office refusing to prosecute the crimes that were 1332 01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:50,639 Speaker 1: referred to it. Do you know we still don't have 1333 01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:57,760 Speaker 1: an accurate number of the No Process files. Jim Povarchek, 1334 01:26:57,800 --> 01:26:59,960 Speaker 1: who is now in the Wisconsin Assembly, in our good 1335 01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:03,320 Speaker 1: friend Jessica McBride over at Wisconsin RightNow dot com. They 1336 01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:07,840 Speaker 1: did an incredible series called the No Process Files, in 1337 01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:11,840 Speaker 1: which they looked into just how many cases were being 1338 01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:15,800 Speaker 1: referred from various police departments across Milwaukee County to the 1339 01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:19,120 Speaker 1: District Attorney's office for charges and were just never charged, 1340 01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:23,680 Speaker 1: they were dismissed. It was about fifty percent of felony 1341 01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:29,599 Speaker 1: referrals were just never charged because of this idea that well, well, 1342 01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:33,280 Speaker 1: well there's a backlog in the court system because of 1343 01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:36,320 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. Well, what it really was is the former 1344 01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:40,759 Speaker 1: District Attorney, John Chisholm made it his mission. He said 1345 01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:43,400 Speaker 1: this over and over and over again. He wanted deferred 1346 01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:48,040 Speaker 1: prosecutions alternatives to prosecution, and he very famously said right 1347 01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:51,080 Speaker 1: after he was elected in an interview with the Milwaukee 1348 01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:54,840 Speaker 1: Journal Sentinel, he said, am I going to give a 1349 01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:55,880 Speaker 1: deferred prosecution? 1350 01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:56,080 Speaker 3: Who? 1351 01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:58,200 Speaker 1: Am I going to release somebody who goes on and 1352 01:27:58,280 --> 01:27:58,960 Speaker 1: kills somebody? 1353 01:27:59,080 --> 01:27:59,360 Speaker 6: Yes? 1354 01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:03,879 Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's guaranteed to happen. That doesn't negate the approach 1355 01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:10,520 Speaker 1: boys that liberalism summed up in one quote, for decades, 1356 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:18,240 Speaker 1: Milwaukee County operated with this buffoon, handing out deferred prosecution 1357 01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:23,640 Speaker 1: agreements like candy and releasing dangerous criminals out onto the 1358 01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:29,439 Speaker 1: streets at the same time. Post twenty twenty, this idea 1359 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,479 Speaker 1: that had been around the liberal fringes for a long 1360 01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:37,840 Speaker 1: time took hold that we should end cash bail, that 1361 01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:41,280 Speaker 1: we should not only defund the police, that we should 1362 01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:46,600 Speaker 1: recognize that police officers themselves, the policing system in this 1363 01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:51,080 Speaker 1: country is inherently racist. But we should actually once people 1364 01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:54,679 Speaker 1: are arrested, we should immediately put them right back out 1365 01:28:54,720 --> 01:29:00,720 Speaker 1: on the streets. This made them insanely dangerous because what 1366 01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:04,240 Speaker 1: did they have to lose. Ay, they're probably not going 1367 01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:07,680 Speaker 1: to show up for the trial for the violent felony 1368 01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,439 Speaker 1: with which they're charged. But then they can just commit 1369 01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:14,040 Speaker 1: new crimes, knowing full well that those cases and we 1370 01:29:14,120 --> 01:29:16,880 Speaker 1: have a long history of the District Attorney's office doing 1371 01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:21,000 Speaker 1: just that in Milwaukee County Dane County as well. They 1372 01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:26,760 Speaker 1: would fold those charges into a complete case against the defendant. 1373 01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:30,479 Speaker 1: What was rather remarkable about how screwed up our bail 1374 01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:35,920 Speaker 1: system was in Wisconsin is that you could reofend, You 1375 01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:39,439 Speaker 1: could commit new crimes while out on bail. You could 1376 01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:44,240 Speaker 1: even be charged with bail jumping, and your bail would 1377 01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:50,479 Speaker 1: not be revoked. You would still be out. The excuse 1378 01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:55,599 Speaker 1: always was, well, we have overcrowding at the Milwaukee County jail. Okay, 1379 01:29:56,120 --> 01:30:00,559 Speaker 1: build an addition onto it. Get the property brother in 1380 01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:05,480 Speaker 1: there to remodel your jail so it fits more criminals 1381 01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:07,360 Speaker 1: in it, because clearly there's a need. 1382 01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:09,000 Speaker 6: They wouldn't do that. 1383 01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:14,320 Speaker 1: And this is to say nothing about the sweetheart, slap 1384 01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:19,200 Speaker 1: on the wrist plea deals that judges were giving. People 1385 01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:22,960 Speaker 1: were so fed up in the post George Floyd era 1386 01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:28,160 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin that we actually amended our constitution. In an 1387 01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:34,439 Speaker 1: election where the liberal Supreme Court candidate won easily, seventy 1388 01:30:34,479 --> 01:30:39,679 Speaker 1: percent of Wisconsinites said yes, we should crack down on bail. 1389 01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:44,400 Speaker 1: We should allow judges and court commissioners to set bail 1390 01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:50,160 Speaker 1: for reasons other than just ensuring someone will show up 1391 01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:52,519 Speaker 1: for their next court date or show up for trial. 1392 01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:58,880 Speaker 1: Bail should be used, and the people of Wisconsin agreed 1393 01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:03,679 Speaker 1: in asking this amendment to ensure the safety of the public. 1394 01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:04,880 Speaker 6: That is a reason. 1395 01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,920 Speaker 1: We can lock people up if we believe that this 1396 01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:10,400 Speaker 1: person is going to be a danger to himself or 1397 01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:14,320 Speaker 1: more importantly, a danger to other innocent people, i e. 1398 01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:17,640 Speaker 1: If he is likely to re offend while he is 1399 01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:20,080 Speaker 1: out on bail, he shouldn't be out on bail. This 1400 01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:23,559 Speaker 1: is a very simple concept, and even after the people 1401 01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:28,200 Speaker 1: of Wisconsin enshrined it in our constitution, we still have 1402 01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:33,360 Speaker 1: court commissioners and judges refusing to impose high cash bail 1403 01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:37,680 Speaker 1: to keep people behind bars. Now we even have our 1404 01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:41,639 Speaker 1: buffoon of a leading Democrat candidate for governor, our former 1405 01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:46,080 Speaker 1: lieutenant governor Mandela Barnes, saying, oh yeah, I don't think 1406 01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:49,000 Speaker 1: we should abolish cash bail altogether, but I don't believe 1407 01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:51,280 Speaker 1: people should be able to buy their way out of jail. 1408 01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:52,879 Speaker 6: No, Mandela, that's the idea. 1409 01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:55,559 Speaker 1: You set bail so high they can't bail their way 1410 01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:58,400 Speaker 1: or buy their way out of jail. We set high 1411 01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:03,080 Speaker 1: bail to ensure that they either can't get out of 1412 01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:06,160 Speaker 1: jail or if they somehow manage to get a massive 1413 01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:09,400 Speaker 1: amount of money. We don't have bail bonds in this state. 1414 01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:12,639 Speaker 1: You have to put up your own bail or somebody 1415 01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:16,880 Speaker 1: has to post it for you that We want to 1416 01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:19,400 Speaker 1: ensure that they show up. We want to ensure that 1417 01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:23,000 Speaker 1: they're on their best behavior if there is reason to 1418 01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:24,960 Speaker 1: believe that they won't be. If they're going to be 1419 01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:27,599 Speaker 1: out there committing new crimes, or they are going to 1420 01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:31,759 Speaker 1: be threatening, say a witness against them, they're threatening the victim. 1421 01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:35,599 Speaker 1: This is often the case in domestic violence incidents, which 1422 01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:39,439 Speaker 1: is why you get holds. You are able to put 1423 01:32:39,479 --> 01:32:47,599 Speaker 1: people in jail. The criminal justice system is so screwed 1424 01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:54,440 Speaker 1: up that the sky high homicide rate is not necessarily unexpected. 1425 01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:58,680 Speaker 1: It is a natural outgrowth of policies that have been 1426 01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:04,960 Speaker 1: put in place literally for decades, but they've grown radically 1427 01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:08,920 Speaker 1: left wing in recent years as a result of this 1428 01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:12,839 Speaker 1: George Floyd effect. Now we have seen and this actually 1429 01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:15,599 Speaker 1: shocked me. I was researching this story before the new 1430 01:33:15,640 --> 01:33:19,000 Speaker 1: information came out that the child was not a victim 1431 01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:22,639 Speaker 1: of homicide, but rather a self inflicted gunshot. It doesn't 1432 01:33:22,640 --> 01:33:24,960 Speaker 1: make his death any less tragic or any less criminal. 1433 01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:33,000 Speaker 1: But there were twenty kids killed in Milwaukee this year alone. 1434 01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:39,520 Speaker 1: We are in week forty eight of fifty two, twenty 1435 01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:46,240 Speaker 1: kids have been killed. That is roughly a child murdered 1436 01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:51,840 Speaker 1: on the streets of Milwaukee every two and a half weeks. 1437 01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:56,920 Speaker 1: It's kind of a sobering perspective, isn't it. New homicide 1438 01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:02,479 Speaker 1: rate numbers just released yesterday show Milwaukee, by homicide or 1439 01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:06,880 Speaker 1: violent crime rate, is now the eleventh most violent city 1440 01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:10,960 Speaker 1: in the country, numbers one and two. They typically flip 1441 01:34:11,040 --> 01:34:17,639 Speaker 1: flop New Orleans and Memphis. Do you know what New Orleans, Memphis, 1442 01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:21,559 Speaker 1: and Milwaukee all have in common? Everyone, every single one 1443 01:34:21,560 --> 01:34:24,120 Speaker 1: of those cities. You think they couldn't be more different 1444 01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:27,559 Speaker 1: to her in the South one is in the Upper Midwest. 1445 01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:32,080 Speaker 1: None of them have had a Republican mayor in more 1446 01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:37,439 Speaker 1: than one hundred years. It's almost like there's a pattern. 1447 01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:40,120 Speaker 1: It's almost like there's a trend. It's almost like there's 1448 01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:46,240 Speaker 1: a correlation there. Merry Christmas from all of us here 1449 01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:50,600 Speaker 1: at the Dan o'donald show Welcome Back to It. Morgan Geyser, 1450 01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:55,559 Speaker 1: who was arrested in Illinois last month after just kind 1451 01:34:55,560 --> 01:34:59,280 Speaker 1: of walking away from her group home in Madison along 1452 01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:05,719 Speaker 1: with her super creepy, significantly older boyfriend, is no longer 1453 01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:11,080 Speaker 1: listed as being booked in the Waukeshaw County jail. Fox 1454 01:35:11,520 --> 01:35:15,160 Speaker 1: six has obtained a court document dated today that lists 1455 01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:21,919 Speaker 1: the state run Winnebago Mental Health Institute as Geyser's address. 1456 01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:27,160 Speaker 1: Last week, a judge approved waiving the time limit for 1457 01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:30,760 Speaker 1: Geyser's next court appearance. She, of course, was one of 1458 01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:35,839 Speaker 1: two people convicted in the twenty fourteen slender Man stabbing. 1459 01:35:36,520 --> 01:35:42,920 Speaker 1: She was released from her mental health institute in Winnebago 1460 01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:49,840 Speaker 1: County earlier this year after her attorneys and state psychologists 1461 01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:53,360 Speaker 1: argued that she was no longer a threat. 1462 01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:55,440 Speaker 6: She was no longer. 1463 01:35:57,160 --> 01:36:01,960 Speaker 1: Dangerous, She no longer had bipolar disorder, She no longer 1464 01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:05,759 Speaker 1: had schizophrenia, She no longer had any of the mental 1465 01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:10,719 Speaker 1: health issues that eleven years ago prompted her to lure 1466 01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:15,120 Speaker 1: her friend Peyton into the woods and stab her multiple times, 1467 01:36:15,240 --> 01:36:18,560 Speaker 1: leaving her for dead, to appease the fictional. 1468 01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:19,360 Speaker 6: Character slender Man. 1469 01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:24,120 Speaker 1: This is yet another example of how the criminal justice 1470 01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:28,720 Speaker 1: system and the mental health system in this state are 1471 01:36:28,800 --> 01:36:34,360 Speaker 1: both geared towards getting dangerous people out of where they belong. 1472 01:36:35,080 --> 01:36:39,080 Speaker 1: It was very clear that Morgan Geyser as multiple multiple 1473 01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:44,360 Speaker 1: instances in her mental health record, as she was declared 1474 01:36:44,840 --> 01:36:48,840 Speaker 1: not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, and 1475 01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:52,360 Speaker 1: what that means, it's the old insanity defense. What that 1476 01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:56,360 Speaker 1: means is instead of going to prison, she was confined 1477 01:36:56,400 --> 01:36:59,120 Speaker 1: in a mental health facility where she wouldn't be able 1478 01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:02,360 Speaker 1: to come and go as she pleased. Well, she was 1479 01:37:02,439 --> 01:37:05,160 Speaker 1: released from that earlier this year. And even though her 1480 01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:09,040 Speaker 1: record showed that she was very very good at deceiving 1481 01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:14,440 Speaker 1: her caregivers, at lying to psychologists, at telling them exactly 1482 01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,400 Speaker 1: what they wanted to hear, so that she would be 1483 01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:23,120 Speaker 1: out of her padded cell, so to speak, and she 1484 01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:26,040 Speaker 1: would be able to live a semi normal life, well 1485 01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:30,680 Speaker 1: she didn't deserve that, and there was always evidence that 1486 01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:35,000 Speaker 1: she was still schizophrenic and still mentally ill. We went 1487 01:37:35,040 --> 01:37:39,880 Speaker 1: over this after Morgan Geyser's great escape. The fact that 1488 01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:44,800 Speaker 1: she now identifies as he him and has taken on 1489 01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:48,360 Speaker 1: a boy's name. I believe it was Ethan or Evan 1490 01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:52,960 Speaker 1: or something like that. That is evidence that she is still, 1491 01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:56,720 Speaker 1: in fact schizophrenic. In fact, there is a mountain of 1492 01:37:56,840 --> 01:38:02,120 Speaker 1: evidence that schizophrenia is very very closely tied with gender 1493 01:38:02,200 --> 01:38:08,120 Speaker 1: dysphoria and is tied with transgender ideology. This research, of course, 1494 01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:11,760 Speaker 1: has been buried by the forces of political correctness, who 1495 01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:16,720 Speaker 1: will no longer even acknowledge that transgender ideology and gender dysphoria, 1496 01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:21,800 Speaker 1: which since it was first diagnosed, has been a mental disease. 1497 01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:25,519 Speaker 1: It has been a mental malady. It was just always 1498 01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:29,759 Speaker 1: recognized until, of course, the forces of liberalism, who always 1499 01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:32,880 Speaker 1: remember follow the science, said no, no, no, no, no, 1500 01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:36,719 Speaker 1: no no, we cannot possibly classify these people as mentally ill. 1501 01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:40,960 Speaker 1: They just believe that they were born in the wrong 1502 01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:44,719 Speaker 1: body and that they need to chop off their male 1503 01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:48,440 Speaker 1: sex organs in order to be happy. That is perfectly sane. 1504 01:38:48,600 --> 01:38:53,120 Speaker 1: There is nothing insane about that at all. Just born 1505 01:38:53,160 --> 01:38:59,960 Speaker 1: in the wrong body, that's it, okay. The evidence was 1506 01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:06,800 Speaker 1: always there that Geyser was still suffering from schizophrenia. The 1507 01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:10,240 Speaker 1: fact that she all of a sudden started probably within 1508 01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:14,880 Speaker 1: the last year year and a half, identifying as a boy, 1509 01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:19,400 Speaker 1: identifying as a young man. That is evidence that And 1510 01:39:19,560 --> 01:39:24,080 Speaker 1: if anybody would have actually read the research, if anybody 1511 01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:27,679 Speaker 1: would have actually put two and two together, they would 1512 01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:32,800 Speaker 1: have realized Morgan Geyser is still suffering from schizophrenia. It 1513 01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:36,639 Speaker 1: is it is evidence of schizophrenia to say, oh, yeah, 1514 01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm a boy now, yeah, multiple personalities, that is a 1515 01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:47,360 Speaker 1: sign of schizophrenia. Oh well you know I'm a girl. No, 1516 01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:50,439 Speaker 1: you're not. You are suffering from mental illness. And this 1517 01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:55,960 Speaker 1: is the thing, you know. I watched the arrest video, 1518 01:39:56,120 --> 01:40:00,360 Speaker 1: the body camera video. It is clear that both organ 1519 01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:04,160 Speaker 1: and hurt significantly older creepy trans boyfriend I forgot to 1520 01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:10,760 Speaker 1: mention he too, identifies as trans. They're clearly in mental distress. 1521 01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:18,280 Speaker 1: These are clearly not mentally well people. Does it serve their. 1522 01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:19,080 Speaker 6: Well being. 1523 01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:24,040 Speaker 1: To put them into a position where they can just 1524 01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:27,240 Speaker 1: sort of walk away? And their plan was apparently to 1525 01:40:27,240 --> 01:40:29,519 Speaker 1: catch a bunch of buses to freedom. Well, they made 1526 01:40:29,560 --> 01:40:33,320 Speaker 1: it as far as a suburb of Chicago before they 1527 01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:38,679 Speaker 1: got caught huddled up next to a convenience store truck stop. 1528 01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:43,040 Speaker 1: If they were not arrested, they were totally going to 1529 01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:49,360 Speaker 1: sleep on the ground. Is that good for them? Are 1530 01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:53,880 Speaker 1: we being kind? And compassionate. Was that a good thing 1531 01:40:53,960 --> 01:41:00,679 Speaker 1: to do? Did that make the public safe? Someone who 1532 01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:04,800 Speaker 1: had a violent, insane delusion. Admittedly, when she was a 1533 01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:08,040 Speaker 1: twelve year old girl that slender Man was going to 1534 01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:10,599 Speaker 1: kill her and her family, she didn't stab her friend 1535 01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:15,280 Speaker 1: nineteen times. That's the sort of person that should just 1536 01:41:15,320 --> 01:41:18,479 Speaker 1: be out on the streets. And this is also, in 1537 01:41:18,479 --> 01:41:23,639 Speaker 1: a broader sense, the fundamental flaw with the Democrat Party's 1538 01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:28,280 Speaker 1: approach to homelessness. Oh yes, let's just live, Let's just 1539 01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:30,880 Speaker 1: let people live on the streets. Do you know what 1540 01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:34,759 Speaker 1: city actually surprisingly has one of the worst homeless problems 1541 01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:37,679 Speaker 1: I think I've ever seen is San Diego. You picture 1542 01:41:37,760 --> 01:41:41,160 Speaker 1: San Diego is just being beautiful heaven on Earth. They've 1543 01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:45,040 Speaker 1: got the big naval base. Nope, tons of homeless, even 1544 01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:46,960 Speaker 1: more so than I saw anyway when I was there 1545 01:41:46,960 --> 01:41:49,920 Speaker 1: a couple of years back, than Los Angeles or San Francisco. 1546 01:41:51,880 --> 01:41:57,559 Speaker 1: It is because of misguided policies that say, well, these 1547 01:41:57,600 --> 01:42:01,640 Speaker 1: people should be No, they should be institutions either for 1548 01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:08,080 Speaker 1: its severe untreated mental health issues or for severe drug addiction. 1549 01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:12,840 Speaker 1: That's probably eighty five to ninety percent of it alcoholism, 1550 01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:17,000 Speaker 1: drug abuse. It is not a healthy way to live, 1551 01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:20,280 Speaker 1: to live in skid row in LA. It just isn't 1552 01:42:21,040 --> 01:42:24,120 Speaker 1: It is not compassionate to say, well, we're going to 1553 01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:28,559 Speaker 1: allow more skid rows to pop up, because putting these 1554 01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:32,599 Speaker 1: people in mental health facilities, putting these people in drug 1555 01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:37,040 Speaker 1: treatment facilities, that's s going against what they want. Well, 1556 01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:40,880 Speaker 1: what they want is more drugs. What they want is 1557 01:42:41,400 --> 01:42:45,320 Speaker 1: to feed their delusions. They're in need of help. It 1558 01:42:45,479 --> 01:42:49,759 Speaker 1: is not helping them to keep them on the streets 1559 01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:52,800 Speaker 1: and to deny them the treatment that they so desperately need. 1560 01:42:52,840 --> 01:42:56,439 Speaker 1: It was very very clear that not only was guys 1561 01:42:56,520 --> 01:42:59,000 Speaker 1: are not getting the treatment that she needed in that 1562 01:42:59,120 --> 01:43:04,760 Speaker 1: group home in Matta, it was abundantly clear that she 1563 01:43:04,960 --> 01:43:08,160 Speaker 1: was lying to her doctors who should have seen right 1564 01:43:08,280 --> 01:43:12,559 Speaker 1: through her little farce. But here's the ultimate problem with 1565 01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:17,160 Speaker 1: the mental health system as it pertains to criminally violent people. 1566 01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:22,800 Speaker 1: There is an incentive for doctors to say, oh, yes, 1567 01:43:22,880 --> 01:43:23,760 Speaker 1: this person is. 1568 01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:25,960 Speaker 6: Cured, when they're not actually cured. 1569 01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:29,880 Speaker 1: Do you think you're going to be viewed as a 1570 01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:35,240 Speaker 1: better psychologist by your peers like the psychologists who are 1571 01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:38,000 Speaker 1: treating Morgan Geyser and said oh, yes, she's fine, she's fine, 1572 01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:42,080 Speaker 1: She's this is one of the most notorious mental health 1573 01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:47,160 Speaker 1: criminals in the history of Wisconsin. You can make your 1574 01:43:47,320 --> 01:43:51,680 Speaker 1: reputation within your profession by saying, yes, I was the 1575 01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:54,920 Speaker 1: one who finally reached Morgan Geyser. I was the one 1576 01:43:55,040 --> 01:44:00,439 Speaker 1: who finally cured Morgan Geyser. Yes, State of Wisconsin because me, 1577 01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:03,200 Speaker 1: because I am so great. She no longer poses a 1578 01:44:03,240 --> 01:44:07,760 Speaker 1: threat to anyone. Well, turns out she actually does, and 1579 01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:11,000 Speaker 1: she proved it within about six months of being released 1580 01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:14,559 Speaker 1: to the minimum security facility. At least now she is 1581 01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:18,519 Speaker 1: back where she belongs and hopefully where she will stay 1582 01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:21,280 Speaker 1: for a long long time. 1583 01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:23,080 Speaker 6: You're listening to the Dan o'donald Show. 1584 01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:30,560 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Dan o'donalds Show, and Merry Christmas 1585 01:44:30,640 --> 01:44:35,480 Speaker 1: to you Producer Armin. Is this the Dan the Automator 1586 01:44:35,760 --> 01:44:39,000 Speaker 1: remix of jingle Bells? I believe it is in the 1587 01:44:39,080 --> 01:44:43,040 Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show Christmas Music bumper rotation. Look, we do 1588 01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:45,760 Speaker 1: things differently here on the program, and that includes our 1589 01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:50,599 Speaker 1: bumper music remixes, classical hip hop versions of your favorite 1590 01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:56,040 Speaker 1: Christmas carols all Christmas season long. How about this a 1591 01:44:56,280 --> 01:44:59,200 Speaker 1: rather shocking story that just broke about an hour or 1592 01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:03,599 Speaker 1: so ago. The University of Michigan football team fired head 1593 01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:09,200 Speaker 1: coach Sharon Moore for cause this afternoon, after a university 1594 01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:13,000 Speaker 1: investigation that found credible evidence he was engaged in an 1595 01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:18,679 Speaker 1: inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Athletic Director Ward Manual 1596 01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:22,599 Speaker 1: said in a statement Wednesday, this conduct constitutes a clear 1597 01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:27,320 Speaker 1: violation of university policy and um maintains zero tolerance for 1598 01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:30,120 Speaker 1: such behavior. Well, they tolerated a whole hell of a 1599 01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:35,160 Speaker 1: lot with Jim Harbaugh, but I guess he kept little Jimmy. 1600 01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:36,559 Speaker 6: To himself, so that was okay. 1601 01:45:37,560 --> 01:45:40,880 Speaker 1: Michigan is slated to play Texas in the Cheese It 1602 01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:46,559 Speaker 1: Citrus Bowl on December thirty. First, the interim coach, I 1603 01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:53,719 Speaker 1: don't believe this is a real name, Biff, Poggy Biff, 1604 01:45:54,640 --> 01:46:01,120 Speaker 1: Pogy Biff, apparently taking time off from anti astagonizing Marty 1605 01:46:01,240 --> 01:46:05,520 Speaker 1: McFly to serve as interim coach of the Michigan Wolverines. 1606 01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:09,800 Speaker 1: The news ends Moore's Michigan career at seventeen and eight, 1607 01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:12,600 Speaker 1: his final game at twenty seven to nine loss to 1608 01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:17,479 Speaker 1: Ohio State to conclude a nine and three season. 1609 01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:20,920 Speaker 6: It is believed, says my. 1610 01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:25,000 Speaker 1: Producer Armin, that he was having a relationship with the 1611 01:46:25,280 --> 01:46:30,599 Speaker 1: executive assistant to the head coach? Is that a fancy 1612 01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:34,120 Speaker 1: way of saying his secretary tail is all this time? 1613 01:46:34,320 --> 01:46:35,880 Speaker 6: Man? This is like straight. 1614 01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:39,160 Speaker 1: This is the twenty first century version of mad Men 1615 01:46:40,120 --> 01:46:44,280 Speaker 1: at the University of Michigan football team. This is not, 1616 01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:49,280 Speaker 1: of course, the first high profile incident of a coach 1617 01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:54,719 Speaker 1: using the wrong head to make his decisions. Of course, 1618 01:46:55,360 --> 01:46:58,160 Speaker 1: what is it? How do you pronounce his name? Eme Udoka, 1619 01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:01,920 Speaker 1: the former coach of the Boston Celtics who is now 1620 01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:04,560 Speaker 1: the coach or at least he was, or was at Memphis. 1621 01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:08,439 Speaker 1: I can't keep track of all these NBA coaches. He 1622 01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:12,799 Speaker 1: was very famously fired from Boston several years back because 1623 01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:18,120 Speaker 1: he was having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate as 1624 01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:21,479 Speaker 1: he's in Houston. That's right, thank you, thank He's actually 1625 01:47:21,560 --> 01:47:25,559 Speaker 1: a very very well regarded coach, and he was when 1626 01:47:25,600 --> 01:47:27,280 Speaker 1: he was coaching the Boston Celtics. 1627 01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:30,760 Speaker 6: But HR rules are HR. 1628 01:47:30,840 --> 01:47:35,599 Speaker 1: Rules, man. Now, I guess I don't know. I work 1629 01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:40,400 Speaker 1: in talk radio. The only woman that we actually have 1630 01:47:40,680 --> 01:47:43,800 Speaker 1: in the building is Vicky McKenna, and she doesn't work 1631 01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:47,679 Speaker 1: in the building. She works in Madison, And of course 1632 01:47:47,720 --> 01:47:51,639 Speaker 1: she's happily married as m I. Plus, if I ever 1633 01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:54,840 Speaker 1: tried to make a move on Vicky, there would be 1634 01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:58,679 Speaker 1: like six bullet holes in my chest before I could 1635 01:47:58,760 --> 01:48:00,479 Speaker 1: say you look cute today. 1636 01:48:01,400 --> 01:48:06,640 Speaker 6: I'm kidding, Vicky. You know I love you? Yes? I okay. 1637 01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:11,960 Speaker 1: My entire like working career has been do you know 1638 01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:15,360 Speaker 1: who I've worked with? Belling and Jay Webber? All right, 1639 01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:22,040 Speaker 1: there is no opportunity for sexual harassment or inappropriate workplace relationships. 1640 01:48:22,080 --> 01:48:26,479 Speaker 1: But this apparently is a thing in the world of sports. 1641 01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:26,640 Speaker 6: Now. 1642 01:48:26,760 --> 01:48:30,160 Speaker 1: Arman made a very very good point while we were 1643 01:48:30,160 --> 01:48:36,840 Speaker 1: in commercial break. Do you think coach Moore if he's 1644 01:48:36,880 --> 01:48:42,120 Speaker 1: in the college football playoff. Let's say he is coaching 1645 01:48:42,200 --> 01:48:45,680 Speaker 1: Ohio State, and yeah, they lost to Indiana and the 1646 01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:48,000 Speaker 1: conference title, gay, but they're probably still going to win 1647 01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:48,360 Speaker 1: it all. 1648 01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:51,160 Speaker 6: Ohio State just looks head and shoulders above everybody. 1649 01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:54,200 Speaker 1: You're rooting for Indiana, right, armand Armen of course a 1650 01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:57,559 Speaker 1: big sports guy, I don't really follow college football all 1651 01:48:57,600 --> 01:49:00,439 Speaker 1: that closely. The Badger has had a terrible year. My 1652 01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:05,519 Speaker 1: alma mater, Marquette is undefeated in football since the nineteen fifties. 1653 01:49:05,560 --> 01:49:09,080 Speaker 1: But you know, I never really got big into college football. 1654 01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:12,280 Speaker 1: Because I didn't go to a Big ten school. We're 1655 01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:13,960 Speaker 1: all rooting for Indiana, right. 1656 01:49:15,320 --> 01:49:16,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think you got to. 1657 01:49:18,720 --> 01:49:24,240 Speaker 1: You or James Madison. Yes, if somehow James Madison. And 1658 01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:29,120 Speaker 1: yet the big controversy this week is Notre Dame was 1659 01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:32,040 Speaker 1: so unhappy with the fact that they didn't get into 1660 01:49:32,080 --> 01:49:34,720 Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff that they took their ball and 1661 01:49:34,920 --> 01:49:37,880 Speaker 1: literally are staying home. They're refusing to go to a 1662 01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:42,920 Speaker 1: bowl game. People are saying that the bowl system as 1663 01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:45,080 Speaker 1: we know at Rose Bowl, Citrus Bowl, all of that 1664 01:49:45,320 --> 01:49:48,759 Speaker 1: is effectively dead because it's been replaced by the College 1665 01:49:48,760 --> 01:49:52,960 Speaker 1: Football Playoff. I get that there are automatic qualifiers like 1666 01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:57,160 Speaker 1: the NCAA basketball tournament, but you're telling me that James 1667 01:49:57,240 --> 01:50:01,759 Speaker 1: Madison and Tulane deserve to be in the College Football 1668 01:50:01,800 --> 01:50:07,320 Speaker 1: Playoff outside instead of Notre Dame, which was ranked in 1669 01:50:07,360 --> 01:50:11,160 Speaker 1: the top ten for I think the entire year except 1670 01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:14,880 Speaker 1: the very last ranking, the one that mattered, the one 1671 01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:17,400 Speaker 1: that they actually used for the College Football Playoff. 1672 01:50:18,080 --> 01:50:19,240 Speaker 6: That's ludicrous. 1673 01:50:19,240 --> 01:50:21,320 Speaker 1: All right, We will be back to wrap things up 1674 01:50:21,400 --> 01:50:23,160 Speaker 1: here on the Dan o'donald's show. 1675 01:50:23,640 --> 01:50:24,240 Speaker 6: Stay with us. 1676 01:50:24,280 --> 01:50:28,479 Speaker 1: It is conservative thoughts, not just talking. It is coming 1677 01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:29,760 Speaker 1: right back after this
