1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Here we go with another busy broadcast week. Welcome to

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell Show. On the way three hours of

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: broadcast excellence or at the very least, and let's face it,

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: far more likely broadcast competence, but we might actually get

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: to something approaching excellence today. A couple of big exclusive stories,

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: including a planned walkout in opposition to ice at Wisconsin's

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: largest school district set for this week, as well as

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: a massive debacle in Milwaukee County government and the sports

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: betting bill is back. Before we get to any of that, though,

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the top stories that we

11
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: are following right now. The federal government remains partially shut down.

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: Democrats are refusing to pass a funding bill for the

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security, but that bill notably doesn't fund ICE.

14
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: Democrats Number one enemy, Ice is actually full funded through

15
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty nine. President Trump went on Dan Bongino's podcast

16
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: today on Dan's first day back on the air after

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: leaving the FBI, The President said that all Minneapolis needs

18
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: to do for the federal government to stop its massive

19
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: immigration surge is to just cooperate with ICE detainers.

20
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: We want one thing in Minnesota.

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: We can get out of there really fast.

22
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: We want their prisoners. They've got jails with murderers, drug lords, rapists,

23
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: They've got jails with the worst people.

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 4: Here at home.

25
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: Wisconsin State Senator Steve Noss announcing today he's retiring after

26
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: thirty five years in the state legislature, saying in a

27
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: press release this morning he won't seek reelection. Senator Noss

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: joins us to talk about his decision coming up at

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: five oh six here on the Dan o'donald Show. What

30
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: does that mean for control of the state legislature. And

31
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: after yet another Democrat overperformance in a state legislative special election,

32
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: this one down in Texas, are Republicans heading for electoral

33
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: dizap We will discuss coming up at about five twenty five.

34
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: As I said, there is a major scandal brewing in

35
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: Milwaukee County. How exactly did Democrat County Executive David Crowley,

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: a leading candidate for governor, let the county's healthcare plan

37
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: lapse at the beginning of the year, and why were

38
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: county board supervisors only informed a couple of days ago.

39
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: We'll provide the details for you coming up at three

40
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: twenty five. And the bucks are now expected to try

41
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: to trade Giannis aunt Detakumpo before this Thursday's NBA trade deadline.

42
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: They haven't just been listening to aggressive trade offers, they've

43
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: also been making counter offers. More on that story coming

00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: guy is actually doing some good work, and I hope

83
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: we are because we bring you exclusive stories like this.

84
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: Republican leadership in the state legislature is trying to pass

85
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: what amounts to a bet broom deal to revive the

86
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: online sports betting bill that died in the State Assembly

87
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,239
Speaker 1: last session. I Am told that the State Assembly has

88
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: the votes and can take up this measure at any

89
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: point without any notice. The State Senate is a more

90
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: difficult path, but they're still counting votes. They're deciding if

91
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: they want to pass their rule of seventeen, use the

92
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: rule of seventeen or not. Now, what the rule of

93
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: seventeen is is a long standing rule in both the

94
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: Senate and the Assembly. The Assembly has a rule of

95
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: majority as well. In the Senate, the majority number is seventeen.

96
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: Because Republicans hold the State Senate, they abide by what's

97
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: known as the rule of seventeen. They need to have

98
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: a majority of all state senators, not just a minority

99
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: of their ruling coalition, in order to advance any bill

100
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: out of committee. If they break their rule of seventeen,

101
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: then the bill could get to the floor. It would

102
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: absolutely pass. Democrats are all on board. I Am also

103
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: told the Pottawatamie tribe and various other Native tribes have

104
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: been spending money since this past November to flip votes,

105
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: and that a couple of previous no votes have flipped

106
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: to yes. Now, for those who haven't been following the

107
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: drama surrounding this, currently using the big online sports gambling

108
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: sites ESPN, BET, Draft, Kings Fan Duel, it is illegal

109
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: to place online sports bets in the state of Wisconsin.

110
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: That's because of the Wisconsin Gaming Compacts. You might remember

111
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: that Wisconsin has native gaming and no other legalized gambling.

112
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: You can have a casino on a Native reservation. Weirdly enough,

113
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: the largest casino in which Wisconsin easily the most popular,

114
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: is in downtown Milwaukee on ancient Native reservation land that

115
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: is exactly the size of a casino and hotel. Because

116
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: of a truly shady deal that was struck by the

117
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: Native tribes and then new Governor Diamond Jim Doyle, a Democrat,

118
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: back almost as soon as he took office in two

119
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: thousand and three, Essentially, the tribes control all gaming, table gaming,

120
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: casino gaming, and yes, potential future forms of gaming online

121
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: sports gambling with a cartel like grip on power, and

122
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: that is exactly what the Native tribes have been operating

123
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: as a cartel. Ostensibly, they're all in competition with each other.

124
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: Ho Chunk Nation Gaming, Potawatamie, the Oneida. There's one or

125
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: two other native casinos in Wisconsin. All of them have

126
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: carved up the state and have agreed essentially not to

127
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: infringe on one another's territory. That's exactly how a cartel

128
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: operates well easily. The most popular form of gambling today

129
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: is online sports betting. It is everywhere, primarily because you

130
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: can do it from your pocket. It is incredibly addictive,

131
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: and frankly, I don't think it should be expanded. Now

132
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: that's my own personal moral take on it. I understand

133
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: that I'm in the distinct minority. I happen to believe

134
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: that gambling is every bit is addictive, and in fact,

135
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: far more addictive than alcohol or drugs.

136
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 4: Because of the ease with which you can now do it.

137
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: You can bet on anything, you can bet on everything.

138
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: You can even bet on things that I don't think

139
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: people should be allowed to bet on. In fact, last

140
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: night at the Grammys, the distinctly unfunny host Trevor Noah

141
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 1: actually made a joke about this, and he said, uh, potato,

142
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: congratulations to the person t underscore Noah twenty two, who

143
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: bet on whether I would say potato during the Granties.

144
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: Now that was obviously a joke. He didn't actually admit

145
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: to committing a federal crime on live television. But it

146
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: does speak volumes about just how wild this is, and

147
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: we've actually seen this have a devastating impact on both

148
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: college and professional sports. Look no further than the Chauncey

149
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: Billups scandal, in which there was mafia allegations. Not only

150
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: was he rigging card games for the mob, he was

151
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: also accused, along with a number of players, of intentionally

152
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: rigging stat lines so that people who bet the under on,

153
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: say a random player having over or under five rebounds

154
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: in a game, would be guaranteed to win it. That's

155
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: a serious crime, and it's made possible by the fact

156
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: that you can bet on literally everything now, even after

157
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: the games have started.

158
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: Take all that aside.

159
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: Fundamentally, what this is about is whether or not we

160
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: want to allow the Native tribes to continue to have

161
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: this perpetual monopoly on all forms of gambling. How soon

162
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: before churches can't do their bingo games at their annual

163
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: festivals because they've got to do that on Native grounds.

164
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: What is so difficult about allowing Draft Kings and allowing

165
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: Fan Duel to simply operate here in Wisconsin.

166
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 4: Well, supporters of this bill.

167
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: Say that that can't happen, that that would be a

168
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: direct violation of Wisconsin's gaming Compact. Well, I think we

169
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: need to have a test case here because what the

170
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: what the legislature and what the supporters of this bill

171
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: are saying, is that how you need to be able

172
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: to work online sports betting here in Wisconsin is what's

173
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: known as the what is it the hub and spoke

174
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: model of gambling or the tree and branch. I think

175
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: it's hub and spoke. So basically, in order to get

176
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: around the gaming compacts, what the state would need to

177
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: do in order to allow Draft Kings and Fan Duel

178
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: and all of these online sports gambling apps into Wisconsin

179
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: is to force them to place their physical servers that

180
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: handle all of the bets made from phones or devices

181
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. In say, the Potawatomy sports Book or the

182
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: Oneida Sports Book, to have the privilege of being able

183
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: to operate in Wisconsin and have their servers on the

184
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: Pottawatamy or the Oneida grounds, they would take a massive

185
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: cut of fan Duel or ESPN Better or any of

186
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: these companies profits. Now, I could frankly not possibly care

187
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: less who is actually profiting off online sports betting. But

188
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: it seems to me that this is sort of extortion

189
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: by a cartel like operation who has been busy since

190
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: this bill first died this past November trying to buy

191
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: off support for it. Why is it And by the way,

192
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: that hub and spoke model, it's from a recent federal

193
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: court decision out of Florida. That's how Florida is doing

194
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: online sports betting. So of course the tribes say, well.

195
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: We need to do this here.

196
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: Well, okay, this is a fundamentally different operation. It's a

197
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: fundamentally different form of betting than betting.

198
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 4: In a sportsbook.

199
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: If in fact, we are saying that church bingo games

200
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: are legal, the spot game that you play at your

201
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:16,119
Speaker 1: church festival is legal. All of the little slot machines

202
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: and video poker games that you can play in a

203
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: gas station are legal under the Gaming Compact. And oh,

204
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: by the way, video poker has been legal in Wisconsin

205
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 1: for some time. Or excuse me, digital poker, like if

206
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: you go into a poker room online PokerStars dot Com

207
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: or whatever the big website was. Remember about fifteen twenty

208
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: years ago when No Limit Texas Holdham was a giant giant.

209
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 4: It had a huge boom. It was like the people.

210
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: Were talking, but they were airing it on ESPN in primetime,

211
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: the World Series of Poker and so forth. People were

212
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: able to legally place bets from Wisconsin. Now, Assembly Speaker

213
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: Robin Voss was talking about this a couple of weeks

214
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: ago on up front. He seems to think that legislators

215
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: have the votes. What I have and coming up in

216
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: just three minutes will present to you exclusively is actual polling.

217
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: What do Wisconsinites feel about online sports betting?

218
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 4: Well, opponents of this bill.

219
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: We're in the field with the Terrence Group and they

220
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: have a poll that we will reveal exclusive next. An

221
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: utter debacle in Milwaukee County. Thousands of county employees may

222
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: not have health insurance because of the utter failure of

223
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: county executive David Crowley. We'll get to that story coming

224
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: up in about ten minutes. Right now, it is a

225
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell show exclusive. The online sports betting bill is back.

226
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: It died thanks in no small part to us talking

227
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: about it and a whole lot of you in our

228
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: listening audience contacting their Republican representatives and saying, just like

229
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: we did not want cartel control over electrical transmission in

230
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: the Right of First Refusal Bill, we do not want

231
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: cartel control of online sports betting. GOP leadership, i am told,

232
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: is working on a backroom deal to try to get

233
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: the remaining holdouts I am told in the state Senate

234
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: to flip over to yes. The Potawatomi tribe in particular

235
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: has been very, very aggressive in throwing its money around

236
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: to try to flip some of the no votes to yes,

237
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: and the Senate as a long standing rule, it's called

238
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: the rule of seventeen. There are thirty three senators in

239
00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin State Senate. The majority party needs at least

240
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: seventeen votes in order to advance legislation to the floor.

241
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: They can, however, break the rule of seventeen, and I

242
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: am told it is entirely possible that they do so.

243
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: The Assembly likely already has the votes, and in fact,

244
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago on Upfront, host Matt Smith

245
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: asked Assembly Speaker Robin Voss that question specific.

246
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 4: You have the votes in the Republican cocies to pass

247
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 4: the current bill.

248
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 5: You know, we haven't done a whip count, but I'm

249
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 5: pretty optimistic that in the end people will look at

250
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 5: the facts. Look, let me start by saying this, Matt,

251
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 5: I don't think online gambling is good for anybody.

252
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 6: Right.

253
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 5: If it were up to me and I could wave

254
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 5: a magic wand we wouldn't have it. But that's not

255
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 5: the reality where we are in the world. So I

256
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 5: played cards with a group of guys and I sat

257
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 5: down and said to them, I'm not an online better.

258
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 5: I said, have you heard of this fan duel or

259
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 5: any of it? As one of them said, I tried

260
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 5: to sign up, but I can't do it in Wisconsin.

261
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 5: It must be illegal. The other guy said, oh, yeah, no,

262
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 5: you just go to this other site and you can

263
00:16:58,680 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 5: do it today. And he showed him how to do

264
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 5: it at the table we were playing at right.

265
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: So, and this is I'm going to interrupt the Assembly

266
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: speaker here. This is sort of a critical point. I

267
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: coach high school kids in their indoors soccer. They tell

268
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: me about their online sports bets. Okay, we sort of

269
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: joke about it and talk about they're kids.

270
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: They're betting.

271
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: You know, a dollar two dollars on these things, and

272
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: you know it's it's innocent fun. It's no real different

273
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: if you can keep it under control. It's no real

274
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: different than you know, daily fantasy football, which is legal.

275
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: That's the other thing.

276
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: Daily fantasy is totally legal. You don't need to do

277
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: daily fantasy in a server on the Potawantabe sports book floor.

278
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: In any event, there are websites that still operate in Wisconsin.

279
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 4: Back to the Assembly.

280
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 5: Speaker, we already have sports betting in Wisconsin. The only

281
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 5: people who can't do it are the Indian tribes under

282
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 5: the compacts. Well, why would I want to diss advantage

283
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 5: tribes in Wisconsin the pay Wisconsin income taxes when we're

284
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 5: already allowing people in other states and in other countries

285
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 5: to have the same online sports betting. So again, if

286
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 5: it were up to me, it would be banned everywhere.

287
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 5: But it's not, and we can't. So why would we

288
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 5: not want to make Wisconsin at least competitive? So some

289
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 5: of the taxes come here and the tribes have a

290
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 5: right to offer the same product that people are already

291
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 5: getting in Wisconsin, but probably nowhere near as regulated.

292
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 4: Okay, that is very disingenuous.

293
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: Under the terms of the gaming compacts, the tribes are

294
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: paying far less to the state of Wisconsin in terms

295
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: of taxes than say, Draft Kings or Fan Duel would

296
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: be paying directly to operate here. The Assembly Speaker is, however, right,

297
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: the gaming compacts are very difficult to get around. Now

298
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 1: I can present exclusively to you the results of a

299
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: new survey of six hundred likely voters from the Terrance Group. Now,

300
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: the Terrance Group is a very reputable polster who's key

301
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: client here in Wisconsin is the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

302
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: It's also rack the Republican Assembly Campaign Committee. The Terrance

303
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: Group does polling for Republicans all the time. I have

304
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: no idea who commissioned this poll. The results were simply

305
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 1: leaked to me anonymously. And here's what they state. Sixty

306
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: percent of voters oppose legalizing online sports betting if it

307
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: gives exclusive control to the tribes. Seventy one percent of

308
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: Republicans oppose this same thing, with fifty eight percent of

309
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: Independence Democrats are pretty much fifty to fifty, But seventy

310
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: one percent of Republicans understand I think almost intrinsically that

311
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: they don't want that cartel like authority to a new

312
00:19:53,560 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: form of potential revenue generation is just bad politics. Eighty

313
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: six percent of voters agree with this statement. With so

314
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: much at stake, the process of legalizing sports betting should

315
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: be decided by the voters of Wisconsin themselves. Nearly everybody

316
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: agrees with this statement, ninety one percent of Republicans, eighty

317
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: five percent of Independence, eighty two percent of Democrats. This

318
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: means that they would theoretically be in support of amending

319
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: the Constitution to allow for online sports gambling to be

320
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: done directly by out.

321
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 4: Of state companies.

322
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: There are so many parallels, folks, to write a first

323
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: refusal in the construction of electrical transmission facilities and power lines,

324
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: that it's not even funny. Is why are we giving

325
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: cartel like authority to the native tribes? That there's no

326
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: logical reason other than because of a grossly unconstitutional, perpetual

327
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: agree signed by a thoroughly corrupt governor twenty some years ago.

328
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: Last question, fifty eight percent of voters oppose giving the

329
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: governor the sole authority to negotiate the terms of online

330
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 1: sports betting legislation. Again, strongest opposition Republican seventy four percent

331
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: oppose independence, sixty percent oppose. That's exactly how we got

332
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: into this mess. Governor Jim Doyle basically said, Okay, it's

333
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: the governor's sole authority to negotiate these compacts. The legislature

334
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: has no say. In fact, this was initially struck down

335
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: by a conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court. It was then re

336
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: litigated when liberals controlled the court, and wouldn't you know it,

337
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: they sided with diamond. Jim Doyle Voss two weeks ago

338
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: on Upfront asked if this revived sports betting bill has

339
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: the potential to get to the floor this session.

340
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 4: It's going to get to vote on the floor this session.

341
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 5: I hope so again, because when you look at the facts,

342
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 5: it's not about whether we're legalizing it or not. It's

343
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 5: already happening in Wisconsin. People are already doing it legally

344
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 5: because they can do it out of state. Why would

345
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 5: we not want to give the Indian tribes who can

346
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 5: do it in Wisconsin the same chance?

347
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: Because we don't need to give them the same chance,

348
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: because we wouldn't get as much revenue as we would

349
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: from say DraftKings or say FanDuel. And here's the other thing.

350
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing that I don't think anybody is

351
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: quite contemplating. Let's say worst comes to worst, we just

352
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: sort of allow DraftKings and all these massive corporations to

353
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: come in and do online sports betting. The tribes sue

354
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: for violation of the compact. Who's to say these companies

355
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: would not pay whatever settlement just so they can get

356
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: a foothold here. There is a ton of money involved

357
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: in online sports gaming.

358
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 4: I fail to see.

359
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: I have to hear a good policy argument for why

360
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: we should create yet another cartel. The tribes already have

361
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: a cartel. They have already carved up the state. They

362
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: have already agreed not to compete with one another on

363
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: casino gaming, on bingo, on any of the things that

364
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: they already have. I don't see why we need to

365
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: add another level of protection. What this is like mafia's

366
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: style tactic. Okay, you want to operate here, you got

367
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: to pay us tributed something like sixty percent of the

368
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: profits for companies that have nothing to do with the

369
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: Potawatomy or the Oneida or the ho Chunk. They would

370
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: have to go to those tribes just for allowing them in. Now,

371
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: on balance, what do you think those companies are going

372
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: to want to do Do you think they're going to

373
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: want to pay a one time fee some settlement that

374
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: Wisconsin would have to reach with the tribes on lost

375
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: revenue and a violation of the compact. And this could

376
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: would actually be completely overcome with a constitutional amendment which

377
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: would rather obviously supersede this compact that was signed twenty

378
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: two years ago. Now I would say we could take

379
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: this right back to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, but they're

380
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: never ever ever going to do a sane constitution based ruling,

381
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: not so long as the Left has total control over it,

382
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: as they do and probably will for quite some time.

383
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: But there are ways around this, and I just cannot

384
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: get behind, just on principle. I cannot get behind after

385
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: years of such vehement opposition coming from this show to

386
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: creating a government backed cartel in electrical transmission, to then

387
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: turn around and say, Okay, yeah, I'm totally fine with

388
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: a government backed cartel in online sports gambling. Biggest scandal

389
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin right now? Why do Milwaukee County employees not

390
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: necessarily a healthcare coverage?

391
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 7: Classical conservatism, contemporary style Dan o'donald show will be right.

392
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: Back classical conservatism, contemporary style.

393
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 4: Welcome back to it. It is the Dan o'donald show.

394
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: In the ultimate Friday afternoon news dump, I will give

395
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: Milwaukee County credit. Same thing with the Milwaukee Journal sentineljsonline

396
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: dot com. They don't very often slip one past this

397
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: goalie and get me not to notice something. But at

398
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: four forty five PM on Friday afternoon, the story broke

399
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: that Milwaukee County somehow allowed a lapse in its contract

400
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: covering employee and retiree healthcare and pharmacy benefits after it

401
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: expired at the end of twenty twenty five. Milwaukee has

402
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 1: about fifty one hundred total enrollees in its healthcare plan,

403
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: which it operates itself, and then it contracts with United

404
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: Healthcare and Optimrx to actually provide healthcare coverage thirty two

405
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: hundred thirty two active participants fifty one hundred total. That's

406
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: employees thirty two hundred. Also, how many freaking employees does

407
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: one county need? Deputy Corporation Council William Davidson told the

408
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: county's finance committee last Thursday that employees could face quote

409
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,479
Speaker 1: catastrophic risk because for the past month, the county has

410
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: been operating outside of the contract that it previously had,

411
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: and that could jeopardize the ability for participants in the

412
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: plan to receive and pay for services that is directly

413
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: from corporation council quoted at js online dot com. County

414
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: supervisors first learned about this. Remember the plan lapsed on

415
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: January first. They first learned about a January twenty ninth.

416
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: How exactly is that even possible active cover up or

417
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: completing competence? There is no third option here. Today, Crowley's

418
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: office fired the employee who is in charge of working

419
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: with United Healthcare, and optim RX declined to announce the

420
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: name of said employee. It's amazing democrats always demand the name.

421
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: What is the name of the ice officers who shot

422
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: and killed Alex Pretty in Minneapolis? By the way, did

423
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: you see did you see they released the names? They're

424
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: both Hispanic dudes. That whole anti Hispanic racism argument that

425
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: you heard ad nauseum at the Grammys last night. Just kidding,

426
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: None of you were actually watching the Grammys. I think

427
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: I made it about fifteen minutes, and then I always

428
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: like watching that. I admit I watched the Grammys because

429
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: I love watching the best new artist performances and let

430
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 1: me tell you friend, this year they sucked with the

431
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: exception of is it Leon Wolff, the guitarist who's actually

432
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: like he fuses rock and blues. He's fantastic, and I

433
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: like Alex Warren. I don't love Alex Warren. Some of

434
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: the other performances, including the Woman who won Ough just awful.

435
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 4: Anyway.

436
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: They refuse to announce the name of the official as fired.

437
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: The Journal Sentinel is identifying him as Tony Mays, the

438
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: human Resources benefits director. He handled the contract talks. There

439
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: was a special joint committee meeting today with members of

440
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: the Counties Finance and Personnel Committee's county officials, including the

441
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: County's Office of Corporation Council. They all assured supervisors that

442
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: employees and retirees were never without coverage. Well, that fills

443
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: me with a whole lot of confidence. This is the

444
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: second time in about eight months that the Milwaukee County

445
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: governance was quote unquote blind sided by some disaster of

446
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: their own make. You might remember we were reporting on

447
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: this extensively when it happened. The executive director of the

448
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: Milwaukee County Department of Administration, Donna Brown Martin as well

449
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: as the Milwaukee County Transit System's interim president and CEO,

450
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: Julie Esh were both forced to resign after officials were

451
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: according to the Milwaukee Journal Centinel, Sucker punched by a

452
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: multi million dollar deficit for MCTS. The surprise resulted in

453
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: an audit of the department. It wasn't really much of

454
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: a surprise. You had Brian Poulsen over at Fox six

455
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: reporting on twelve million dollars worth of fare evasion for

456
00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: MCTS every single year, and just a truly incredible investigation

457
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: of report. Pulson literally sat on a bus and watched

458
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: how many people refuse to pay their fares. Guess how

459
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: much Pulson estimated fair evasion cost MCTS twelve million dollars

460
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: a year. Guess how much. A couple of weeks later,

461
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: it was estimated that the deficit for MCTS was, yeah,

462
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: twelve million bucks. So you've got a county executive who

463
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: can't run the buses efficiently, who can't run the buses

464
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: at all. There is a quote unquote surprise twelve million

465
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: dollar deficit that just sort of pops up out of nowhere.

466
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: And now we find out he's so incompetent. He can't

467
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: even get his employees healthcare cover.

468
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 4: Now, what is it? Democrats are constantly screaming.

469
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: About healthcare, healthcare, healthcare, right, Republicans are terrible on healthcare.

470
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: Republicans don't want people to have healthcare because Republicans refuse

471
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: to go along with the massive Obamacare subsidies, so many

472
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: people are going to not have health care.

473
00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 4: Guess what.

474
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: Demos in Milwaukee County are responsible for people not having

475
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: their own employees, the people they are directly responsible for

476
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: providing health care for, they don't have health care coverage

477
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: because of sheer Democrat incompetence.

478
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 4: And it's not just me saying this.

479
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor Sarah Rodriguez, who along with Crowley, is a

480
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor. Today, she

481
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: just happened to be unveiling her own Rodriguez Care plan.

482
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: You've heard about Obamacare, now get ready for Sarah Care.

483
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: She's out with her own socialized medicine plan. I'm sure

484
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: it's a total coincidence that after David Crowley is embroiled

485
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: in a massive scandal because he's too incompetent to be

486
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: able to provide healthcare, that Sarah Rodriguez just happens to

487
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: be out with her own sarah Care plan, but nonetheless

488
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 1: she's asked about this and just on load on David Crowley.

489
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 8: I think it is scary and unfortunate that that happened,

490
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 8: and it means that there's been a breakdown in leadership

491
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 8: that that is something that could happen. I've actually never

492
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 8: heard of that, and so it I imagine folks within Milwaukee

493
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 8: County are pretty nervous about the fact that they may

494
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 8: lose coverage or may not have some of their bills paid.

495
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 4: As well as they should be. That I can't believe.

496
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: I am agreeing with Lieutenant Governor Sarah Rodrigan. I can't

497
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: believe this.

498
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 4: Now.

499
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: She's every bit as incompetent as David Crowley, and if

500
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: she were put in charge of the state healthcare plan,

501
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: there is no doubt in my mind she would allow

502
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: it to lapse as well. But this is inexcusable. How

503
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: exactly are we supposed to trust David Crowley with running

504
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: the entire state when he.

505
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 4: Can't even manage to get like, okay.

506
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 1: You have at work right, like we do the open

507
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: enrollment period right where you've got to update your health

508
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: insurance and if you don't, you could go without coverage.

509
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: And everybody knows. You get a million emails from HR

510
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: everybody knows they've got to do that by a certain

511
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: amount of time.

512
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 4: I happened.

513
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: I was able to do this for myself and my

514
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: three four dependents, my wife and my three kids. I

515
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: couldn't imagine failing to do it for five thousand people.

516
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: You got to be pretty stupid not to be able

517
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: to take advantage of your company's open enrollment and not

518
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 1: have healthcare coverage because I just missed the deadline to

519
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: do so. As the top official in Milwaukee County, a

520
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: guy who took his job so seriously since being elected

521
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: that he actually went back to college. He was actually

522
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: going to school while also serving as Milwaukee County executive.

523
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: He was too incompetent to be able to get this done.

524
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: This is a pattern amongst Democrat ladies and gentlemen, and

525
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: we see it playing out in New York City. We'll

526
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: get to that, plus the unhinged liberal of the day

527
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: coming up next. You're on the Dan O'Donnell's show. Just

528
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: cost County employees their healthcare coverage, as is happening in

529
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 1: Milwaukee County right now. It is tragically costing people their lives.

530
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: Zorn Mamdanni, the newly inaugurated mayor of New York City,

531
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: has had an absolutely disastrous response to the major snowstorm

532
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: that hit New York. Not only are the streets not

533
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: plowed and cars literally buried under snow and ice. As

534
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: a video by the actor Michael Rappaport showed yesterday, Mayor

535
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie said, now sixteen homeless people are confirmed dead

536
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: in the bitter cold that followed that storm.

537
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 9: This morning, sixteen of our fellow New Yorkers have passed

538
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 9: away outside during this brutal stretch of cold. In thirteen

539
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 9: of these cases, preliminary findings indicate that hypothermia played a role,

540
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 9: and three of these deaths appear to be overdose deaths now.

541
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: How is Mayor Mamdnni responsible for this? While his predecessor,

542
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 1: Eric Adams implemented regular sweeps of homeless camps and especially

543
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: in inclement weather or before inclement weather, they would try

544
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: to get as many homeless people off into temporary housing

545
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: as possible, get him into shelters well, Mam Donnie campaigned

546
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: on what he called a housing first model. He wanted

547
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: to provide permanent, no strings attached housing over interventions. In fact,

548
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: as mayor elect in December, announced he'd halt these sweeps

549
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: all together. He said they're inhumane. Instead, he's going to

550
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 1: focus on voluntary outreach. Well, guess what that did not work.

551
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 1: When the temperature dropped to dangerous levels. Sixteen people died

552
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: in the manner of days in twenty twenty three, the

553
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: last year for which data is available under the Adams administration,

554
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: the entire winter, there were twenty nine total deaths over

555
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: a four or five month period from exposure to excessive

556
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: natural cold. Mom Donnie got that in a weekend. Liberalism

557
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: quite literally kills OHF.

558
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 4: Is dangerous because he's evil.

559
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,280
Speaker 3: America.

560
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: Today's unhinged liberal of the day is shockingly not one

561
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: of the celebrity buffoons from the Grammys last night, but

562
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: rather Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, who actually unveiled an executive

563
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: order to prosecute ICE agents.

564
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 10: ICE unnoticed executive order is a step towards justice. This

565
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 10: executive order will make Chicago the first city in the

566
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 10: country to set the groundwork to prosecute ICE and Border

567
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 10: Patrol agents for criminal miscog because we need to send

568
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 10: a clear message. If the federal government will not hold

569
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 10: these road actors accountable, then Chicago will do everything in

570
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 10: our power to bring these agents to justice.

571
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: So Chicago actually has no power to bring agents to justice.

572
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: There's this thing called sovereign immunity. There's this thing called

573
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:46,479
Speaker 1: qualified immunity. There's this thing called federalism. There's this thing

574
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: called the constitution, all of which mean a local municipality

575
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: cannot just sort of hunt down and prosecute ICE agents

576
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: or any federal agent for doing their jobs. Chicago's Mayor

577
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Johnson is your unhinged liberal of the day, folks.

578
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: I can't bring myself to subject you to the idiocy

579
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: of Billie Eilish's speech or Bad Bunny or any of

580
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: the other grammy stuff, primarily because I turned it off.

581
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: My wife and I started watching the new Game of

582
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: Thrones show A Night of the Seven Kingdoms, which is

583
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: actually quite charming. It's said about one hundred years before

584
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: the first show, and while there's gore and well there's

585
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: yes nudity, the relationship is basically on a good natured

586
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: night and his Squire. I can't recommend it highly enough.

587
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: It's really, really well done. Dan o'donalds show back with

588
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: the Daily Trump Day next. If there is an overarching

589
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: theme to The Dan O'Donnell Show today, it's got to

590
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: be that Democrats simply can't govern. They are utter incompetent,

591
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: utterly incompetent, utter incompetent. David Crowley Exhibit A. How do

592
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: you let none of you listening to me, how many

593
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: of you can honestly say you have ever let your

594
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: family's health insurance lapse because you weren't able to sign

595
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: up for that year's open enrollment. Probably not too many

596
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: of you. He did it for five thousand people in

597
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: the exact same year. His transportation system MCTS is running

598
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: a twelve million dollar budget deficet. In both instances, the

599
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: Crowley administration refused to tell county supervisors until the scandal

600
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: had blown out into the open. He fires a couple

601
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 1: of people, and then, of course just moves on. This

602
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 1: guy wants to be governor of the state of Wisconsin.

603
00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: If you thought Evers was incompetent, I can I guarantee

604
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: you David Crowley would be more so. How about the

605
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: great Brown Hope of New York City, zo Ron Momdani

606
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: before you say, Dan, you're being racist. I say, Noah,

607
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 1: who said I was talking about his skin color? I'm

608
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: talking about all of the brown snow that is just

609
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: piled up across the city. Producer Doug, can we get

610
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 1: that SoundBite of Michael Rapaport just walking around?

611
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 4: Here we go?

612
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: Whereas is Michael Rapaport walking around Manhattan yesterday? Now you

613
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: might remember it's been a week, week and a half

614
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: since the big snowstorm we got here in Wisconsin, just

615
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of cold. Well in the Northeast, they

616
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: got a ton of snow. It has still not been cleared.

617
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: And in the areas like in Manhattan where Rapaport was walking,

618
00:40:55,560 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: it was cleared, but the plows buried cars that were

619
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: are parked on the street and are now encased in

620
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: ice like a wooly mammoth.

621
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 4: Look at this, This poor basket in getting out until

622
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 4: the spring. Look at this dirt a week after the snowstorm.

623
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 4: S's incredible dirty show. Look at this. I don't know

624
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 4: what this guy's gonna do. This guy all your insurance company.

625
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 4: Look at this. This is walking past cars. Where's the mayor?

626
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 4: Kings of garbage everywhere?

627
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 10: Dirty snow?

628
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 4: What do you do with this? Where's your shove on

629
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 4: now with Tommy? That's another thing.

630
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: People are noticing that garbage hasn't been picked up in

631
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,960
Speaker 1: about a week and a half, even though there are

632
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 1: no active snowplows. Out of course, we hear in Wisconsin

633
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: know that a lot of the garbage truck drivers are

634
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: reassigned to snowplow detail, So for a day or two,

635
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: your garbage might be delayed. In New York City, it's weeks.

636
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 1: Previous mayors have figured this out, Mam Donnie has not.

637
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: And worst of all, the story that we told you

638
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: at the end of last hour, sixteen homeless people have

639
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: died because Mamdanni has refused to essentially round them up.

640
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: This is something that prior mayors had done. When they

641
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: know there's going to be a massive cold snap, they

642
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: will actually conduct homeless sweeps to get them into shelters

643
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: at least for a night, so that they're not exposed

644
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: to the elements. Well, Mamdanni has refused to do. It's inhumane,

645
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: it's cruel.

646
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 4: Well, what's cruel is.

647
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: Leaving insanely vulnerable, mentally ill drug addicts out in the

648
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: street to die of exposure. That's exactly what happened, all right,

649
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: four o'clock hour in the cold hard cash contest. The

650
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: word this hour is pay, Pay Pay. You have got

651
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 1: until four fifty five to go to our website enter

652
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: the key word pay to enter the contest for this hour.

653
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 4: We will pay you.

654
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: One thousand dollars just for listening to us. Coming up

655
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: in about fifteen minutes, an exclusive story here on the

656
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show. I have learned about a massive student

657
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: walkout in opposition to Ice. We'll get you that, but first,

658
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: the Daily Trump Day.

659
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 11: We're gonna win so much you may even get tired

660
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 11: of winning.

661
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 4: Tump just keeps winning. It is a win for the administration.

662
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 10: It's also a big win for the United States. We

663
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 10: have to keep winning.

664
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 4: We have to win more. We're gonna win more.

665
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: Major move by the President this past hour. He held

666
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: a signing ceremony in the Oval Office to create a

667
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: Strategic Critical Mineral Reserve cigning documentation to create what he

668
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: is being what is being called Project Vault. It establishes

669
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: the first strategic stockpile of critical mineral rules that are

670
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: specifically designed to support the private sector and civilian industries.

671
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 4: The President talking about that last hour.

672
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 11: Over the past year, my administration has taken extraordinary steps

673
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 11: to make sure the United States has all of the

674
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 11: critical minerals and rare earth that we need. We're investing

675
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 11: in mining projects. Really, we're expediting federal permitting, you know,

676
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 11: the federal permitting, and a lot of it is Leezelden

677
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 11: has been fantastic, but federal permitting is such a big deal.

678
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 11: And we're doing that, the permitting of minds and signing

679
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 11: major critical mineral deals with countries from all over the world,

680
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 11: and we're getting along with all of them, every one

681
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 11: of them. They want to be in the proper position.

682
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 11: We're working very well with countries from all over the world.

683
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 2: Today.

684
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 11: We're building on these achievements with this vital new reserve.

685
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: And that reserve is going to protect American manufacturers, to

686
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: reduce the dependent that America has on foreign powers, particularly China,

687
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: and build resilience in supply chains. It was badly needed

688
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: and probably long overdue. Meanwhile, the federal government shut down.

689
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 1: It's going to last at least until tomorrow when members

690
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: of Congress are back in session. Democrats locked an effort

691
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 1: to fund the Department of Homeland Security late last week,

692
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: allowing the government to shut down at midnight Friday night. Now,

693
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: Republicans want to act add the Save Act to the

694
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: package of funding bills that would reopen the government. The

695
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: bill makes voter id mandatory in all federal elections. It's

696
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: broadly supported by the public. Naturally, Democrats are vehemently opposed.

697
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: Earlier today, the President made an appearance on Dan Bongino's

698
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: first podcast back after his stint with the FBI. The

699
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: President said ICE raids will stop in Minneapolis when officials

700
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: there cooperate with detainers and allow ICE access to jails

701
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: to take dangerous criminal illegals into custom The President pointed

702
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,320
Speaker 1: to other cities like Memphis, where these sort of actions

703
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: have been done easily and without opposition, leading to a

704
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: dramatic reduction in the nation's murder ry.

705
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 3: Have to count you.

706
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 2: They have no money, they have known nothing, and they

707
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 2: come over here and they steal They're able to steal

708
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 2: more than nineteen billion notes, and we're we're right on there.

709
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 12: Ass.

710
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was one of the first cases that actually

711
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: is the President talking about the Somalis who have come

712
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: to the country and defrauded billions from welfare systems In Uh,

713
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: in Minnesota.

714
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 4: Let's continue with that.

715
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 3: People that don't work.

716
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dan, these are people that don't work. These are

717
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 2: people that are just not an asset to our society,

718
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 2: to put it mildly, and we got to get them out.

719
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: And the President is doing just that. When it comes

720
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,800
Speaker 1: to violent crime, though, the President said taking a small

721
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,879
Speaker 1: number of criminals off the streets has had a big

722
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 1: impact on low in crime rates because of recidivis.

723
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: Two percent of the people create ninety percent of the grid.

724
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 4: Think of that, so.

725
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 2: When you start moving these guys out, you have a

726
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: huge impact on grid. You've got sick people. These are

727
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 2: two percent. Think of that set so you don't have

728
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:21,240
Speaker 2: to arrest the entire population. Two percent of the people create.

729
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 2: And it makes sense right, you know, they create crimes

730
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 2: every day, over and over. Then you put them in jail,

731
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 2: they come out, they do five crimes in one day.

732
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: These are sick people.

733
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: The President is being proven correct in West Virginia, where

734
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: ICE agents, in conjunction with local law enforcement officials, recently

735
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: arrested six hundred and fifty dangerous illegals ABC thirteen in

736
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 1: West Virgins.

737
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 13: He says they have arrested over six hundred and fifty

738
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 13: people in January alone across West Virginia. Between the fifth

739
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 13: and nineteenth of January, ICE agents from the Philadelphia office

740
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 13: were deployed to multiple areas in the Mountain state, including Beckley, Morgantown,

741
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,720
Speaker 13: and Charlestown. The report says seven people with serious criminal

742
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 13: histories and prior removals were taken in the custody.

743
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:09,239

763
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: a radio show. It is all about the podcasting now,

764
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: and we know Dan Nation will come through in a

765
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: big way. Like you already have time out to know

766
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 1: the difference between financial advisors. We bring in Annex Wealth

767
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:39,439
Speaker 1: Management's chief economic strategist, doctor Brian Jacobson. Brian, the rare

768
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: earth stockpile, big big deal today. I actually can't believe

769
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 1: that we didn't have one before this.

770
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 14: Well, yeah, it is kind of hard to believe that

771
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 14: there are a number of metals out there and minerals

772
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 14: in general, that we don't have some sort of strategic

773
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 14: reserve for now. Some people could argue, do we really

774
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 14: need it? Isn't that up to the businesses themselves to

775
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 14: create their own stockpiles. But one of the issues is

776
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 14: that if you kind of think about the nature of

777
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 14: the market itself, each individual company might want to have

778
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 14: their own little stockpile, but then how do you get

779
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 14: it to where it's like selling from one to the other.

780
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 14: There are not really all liquid markets for these, so

781
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 14: having the government come in might make sense.

782
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: And what happens if we need to get on a

783
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: war footing where we need to have just a massive

784
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 1: amount of this stuff instantly up? And I think that's

785
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: ultimately what this about. I am sorry to interrupt you there,

786
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: but that just sparked by mind. This is ultimately what

787
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 1: this is about. President Trump is rather clearly with the

788
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: Greenland deal, with this rare earth mineral stockpile, He's positioning

789
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: the United States for the potential of global conflict with

790
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: the United Russia, China, Iran, that sort of thing. I

791
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: don't want to freak anybody out, because a lot of

792
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: you are already freaked out by the massive collapse in

793
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 1: gold prices on Friday, steepest single day drop since what

794
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:12,919
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty three? Gold dropped nine to eleven percent. There

795
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: was another decline this morning. I'll admit I was not

796
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: following the gold market this afternoon, when I really had

797
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: to lock in and start focusing on the show.

798
00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 4: Where are we at? Right now, what is.

799
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: Causing this and is gold no longer this safe haven

800
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: investment or is this just a little blip.

801
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 14: Well, I do think that it highlights how really most assets,

802
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 14: when they're traded on markets, they can go up, they

803
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 14: can go down. So it really depends on what your

804
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 14: definition of a safe haven is. If you think about bonds,

805
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 14: for the longest time, people viewed those as a safe haven,

806
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 14: and then all of a sudden we had that massive

807
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 14: inflation in twenty twenty one and twenty two and the

808
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,720
Speaker 14: prices went down. So really in terms of safe havens,

809
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 14: it depends on the context. And here it really does

810
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,800
Speaker 14: look like you had a combination of factors. Number one,

811
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,200
Speaker 14: a massive run up to begin with with the ice

812
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 14: of gold, a lot of it driven by actual central

813
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 14: bank buying People's Bank of China, Central Bank and Poland.

814
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 14: They've been buying almost without consideration of the price. And

815
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 14: also there was a lot of retail buying in China.

816
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 14: All of a sudden they put a few little breaks

817
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 14: on that buying through margin requirements other technical details along

818
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 14: about the same time that then suddenly President Trump announced

819
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,399
Speaker 14: warsh as being the nominee for the new FED chair

820
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 14: and he's not the I mean, he's kind of dubbish,

821
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 14: but he's not exactly like a cheap money, easy money,

822
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 14: dollar debasement kind of guy. And so all of a

823
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 14: sudden you saw a little bit of strength in the

824
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 14: dollar and a big move down in the price of

825
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:44,720
Speaker 14: gold and silver.

826
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: So what ultimately does that mean for investors' bottom lines?

827
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,080
Speaker 14: Well, I think that really what it means is what

828
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 14: we always talk about, know what you own, why you

829
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 14: own it, and how much you're paying for it. Because

830
00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 14: if you're just buying something because the price has gone up,

831
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 14: that's probably not good enough. We always want to understand

832
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 14: the fundamentals, the valuations, the overall market context as well

833
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 14: for understanding and having that diversified portfolio. And think about,

834
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 14: you know, something like gold that doesn't exactly earn you

835
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 14: a great yield. In fact, if you're holding it in

836
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 14: physical form, you probably have to pay to have it

837
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 14: in a safe deposit box or there's maybe it's insured,

838
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 14: and so there's called this caring cost to it. So

839
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 14: we tend to focus more on corporations on you know,

840
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 14: buying the stocks they generate cash flow, the bonds, the

841
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 14: cash flows from that as well.

842
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 4: A little bit.

843
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 14: It's not easy, but it is a little bit easier

844
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 14: to think about how you value those as opposed to

845
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 14: something where it's based upon how much is the next

846
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 14: person going to pay you for it.

847
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: And that's exactly why we always say you need to

848
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: be working with somebody who's working with in for you

849
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 1: as a feel only fituci Here, they're not trying to

850
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: sell you a product, not trying to sell you a

851
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: reverse mortgage or some gold investment or something like that,

852
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: or telling you to take all your gold and putting

853
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 1: it in a pirates and bury it at the beach.

854
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: They are working strictly for you. That's why I recommend

855
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: the pros at Annex Wealth Management so incredibly highly. Annexwealth

856
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 1: dot com Doctor Brian Jacobson always appreciate talking to you.

857
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: Coming up an exclusive story major student walkout planned for

858
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:18,840
Speaker 1: this week in Wisconsin.

859
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 7: Intelligent Discourse. The Dan o'donald Show will be right back.

860
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: And we have a pretty substantial exclusive story for you,

861
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. The Dan O'Donnell Show has learned that

862
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Public school students at pretty much every district school

863
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: are going to be walking out this Wednesday at ten

864
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: thirty am in protest of what else ICE. Naturally, they

865
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: are not going to be protesting the fact that just

866
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: fifteen percent of MPs eighth graders can read at grade

867
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: level and just eight percent are at grade level in math.

868
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: No protests there for the truly shameful lack of actual

869
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: education that's going on now. This has been organized through

870
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 1: social media, and teachers and administrators are apparently not able

871
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 1: under district policy and state law to stop it. According

872
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: to a policy memo that went out to all district

873
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: staff last week in anticipation of this walkout, there have

874
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: been a couple of school level walkouts. I believe Riverside

875
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: High School had a walkout. We of course had the

876
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: walkout in the nearby suburb of Whitefish Bay where there

877
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 1: was the Nazi sign that was thrown up, the swastika

878
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: comparing ICE agents to round shirts. Of course, So in

879
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: this memo it is like MPs policy on ICE. What

880
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: would happen if an immigration agent came to a school?

881
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: The school would call a hold? Okay, are we understanding this?

882
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,800
Speaker 1: I believe. I don't think anybody is reported on this

883
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 1: memo yet, So we'll do it here. The school will

884
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: call a hold, which means students stay in their classrooms

885
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 1: and staff lock classroom doors. Do you know what a

886
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:38,760
Speaker 1: hold is actually used for active shooters? According to this memo,

887
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: the hold action is part of the nationally recognized standard

888
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: response protocol used by schools across the country. The school

889
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: would refer the individuals away from the school and to

890
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: MPs Central Services and the Department of Student Services. These

891
00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:00,080
Speaker 1: practices are consistent with how the district handles other law

892
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:08,319
Speaker 1: enforcement requests. It most certainly is not the if law

893
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: enforcement shows up with a warrant. MPs cannot just impede

894
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: a law enforcement activity. But for student led walkouts, the

895
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: NPS memo says, we recognize the rights of our students

896
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: to share their opinions and views, while not district or

897
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: school organized or sponsors. Students at a number of high

898
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: schools have led walkouts. When this happens, students are marked absent.

899
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: We monitor students while they remain on campus for their safety,

900
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: and students who participate are allowed back into the building.

901
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: So when they just walk out and walk down the street,

902
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: oftentimes in very dangerous neighborhoods, you just kind of say, Tulu.

903
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 4: Get back here safe.

904
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: Try not to get murdered staff political activity the very

905
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: next subheader in this and I will be posting this

906
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: in its entirety, probably during the next commercial break. MPs

907
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: also respects the personal civic engagement of our employees. However,

908
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: such activities must occur outside of work hours and without

909
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:23,120
Speaker 1: the use of district resources. Oh yeah, MPs notorious for

910
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 1: no teachers doing any political indoctrination in classrooms, and employees

911
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: may not engage in political related activities during the workday

912
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: while supervising students or while using district time or resources.

913
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 4: This includes in person.

914
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 1: Activity, electronic communications, and the use of district systems. Our

915
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: safety team continues to meet to review these issues so

916
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: we can continue to keep our schools safe and welcoming.

917
00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 1: All schools now have bilingual posters declaring the schools as

918
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: safe havens of learning and support. In this district, we

919
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: are all valued and no one is pushed aside. Milwaukee

920
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: Board of School Directors and MPs administration continue to support

921
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 1: this fundamental belief. Sincerely, Michael Harris, Interim Deputy Superintendent. I

922
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 1: will remind you at this point that on national standardized testing,

923
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Public Schools was revealed to be the single worst

924
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: school district in the entire country for educating black students.

925
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: The Black White achievement gap is the most pronounced in

926
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: the United States. It is so bad that Wisconsin is

927
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 1: now the worst state in the country for educating black students.

928
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 1: For all students, twelve percent of fourth graders are proficient

929
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: in math. Reading proficiency in fourth grade is shocking, shocking.

930
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Proficiency means that means at grade level. It doesn't mean advanced,

931
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean it just means baseline grade level. Can

932
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: you read at the level of a fourth grader? Nine

933
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: percent of Milwaukee Public School students read at grade level?

934
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: How is that even possible? Nine nine percent? But they are.

935
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: They're protesting at like a twelfth grade level at these

936
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: NPS schools. And I'm willing to wager, I am willing

937
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 1: to wager a good number of MPs employees, in direct

938
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: violation of the district's own policies, are going to take

939
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 1: part in these walkouts. So now that all of the

940
01:00:55,880 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: rest of you in Milwaukee and Wisconsin media have the

941
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: heads up, I want you to pay attention as you're

942
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: covering these walkouts. And again, according to social media and MPs,

943
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: school resource officers and other employees involved in public safety

944
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: security officers, and I think they have been told, Okay,

945
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: brace for this. You're going to see a large number

946
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 1: of students just walking out on Wednesday. What would that

947
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: be February fourth at ten thirty am. So, if you

948
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: are a reporter, you're with like Today's TMJ four or

949
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: the Journal Sentinel or Fox six, or maybe you're in

950
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: from Madison to cover the big protests because they're trying

951
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: to make this the big demonstration in Wisconsin. If you

952
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: are covering this, I want you to pay attention to

953
01:01:51,120 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 1: how many of the teachers, how many of the assistant principles,

954
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: how many school staff members are taking part of the

955
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 1: walking with the kids to make sure they're safe. And

956
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 1: for the record, I absolutely do believe that school employees

957
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 1: should be walking with the kids to make sure they're safe. Again,

958
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: some of these schools are in incredibly dangerous neighborhoods where

959
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: they could potentially be the victims of robbery or violence.

960
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: I absolutely do believe that there should be chaperones walking

961
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: around with these kids. But I want you to pay

962
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 1: attention how many aren't just sort of walking making sure

963
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: the kids stay safe, and how many are holding the

964
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 1: anti ICE signs, how many are wearing ice out pins,

965
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: how many are chanting along. Because if there's one thing

966
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: that MPs takes less seriously than actually educating kids, it's

967
01:02:54,000 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: enforcing its own policies about indoctrinating students politically. Donald Show

968
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 1: coming right back after this, Welcome back to the Dan

969
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: o'donald Show, Classical Conservatism and Contemporary Style. It's a tour

970
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:22,120
Speaker 1: to fource of truth. I am reporting exclusively big MPs

971
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: walkout planned for this Wednesday, ten thirty am at as

972
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: many MPs schools as student organizers can find. Let's go

973
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: out to the phones and talk with Steve in Waterford.

974
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 4: Steve, you're on the Dan o'donald Show. What's going on?

975
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 12: Hi?

976
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 6: Dan, how are you doing?

977
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 4: Fantastic? My friend great.

978
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,400
Speaker 6: I just want to get your thoughts on I don't

979
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 6: understand why the city populations, particularly minorities, why they want

980
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:57,920
Speaker 6: to protest the you know, the ICE operations and enforcement

981
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 6: of the immigration laws. And the people that they're moving

982
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 6: generally are competing with these populations for you know, housing jobs.

983
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 6: They kind of lower the standard of education in the

984
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:18,000
Speaker 6: public schools. Why are they protesting this enforcement of the

985
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 6: immigration Oh? All your thoughts on.

986
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: That, well, because, first of all, a lot of legal

987
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: Hispanic Americans are right there with conservatives on immigration enforcement. That's,

988
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: in fact the big reason so many of them shifted

989
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 1: to President Trump in the twenty twenty four election. That

990
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: and social issues, and the same thing that caused huge

991
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 1: swaths of America to shift to President Trump, the economy

992
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,760
Speaker 1: inflation of the fact that the Biden administration was just

993
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:58,120
Speaker 1: historically historically inept. But to answer your specific question, why

994
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: are so many people in mil Milwaukee's inner cities who

995
01:05:02,360 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 1: one would think are in competition with the importation of

996
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 1: illegal immigrant labor that has driven down the cost of

997
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 1: living effect, you know, until it became politically impossible for

998
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 1: him to say he was opposed to illegal immigration. Do

999
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 1: you know who is a big opponent of illegal immigration

1000
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: for that exact reason, because it drives down wages for

1001
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: hard working American Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders has been an

1002
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 1: immigration hawk until about fifteen minutes ago. You'll notice Bernie

1003
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:39,080
Speaker 1: is suspiciously silent on the ice out raids and all

1004
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: of that, the protests and everything. But the reason that, ultimately,

1005
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 1: I think, especially with respect to young people of all races,

1006
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: of all demographics. Why they are so easily swayed by

1007
01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: this ice out, this anti ice is because it fits

1008
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 1: in to their preconceived worldview. It is a tailor made

1009
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: issue for virtue signaling, and it requires absolutely zero thought.

1010
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: And because so many people are putting so little thought

1011
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 1: into this. High school kids, I love you, but you

1012
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: are insanely easily manipulated because your teachers, your parents, the

1013
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: TikTok videos you watch, they will rarely give you the

1014
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 1: absolute truth or anything even approximating it about it, Like

1015
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 1: did you know did you know, for instance, that ICE

1016
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 1: absolutely is authorized to use administrative warrants to pick up

1017
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 1: illegal aliens and to detain them and to deport them.

1018
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: You probably even told the exact opposite. Did you know,

1019
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 1: for example, ICE has done this literally hundreds of thousands

1020
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: of times in cities all across the United States, without

1021
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 1: us a single bit of protest, without a single bit

1022
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 1: of pushback. Cities like Memphis, Tennessee, cities like Miami, Florida,

1023
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: cities like Dallas in Houston and Texas, even cities in

1024
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 1: Maine have seen ICE operations without anything.

1025
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 4: Did you know also.

1026
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: That ICE deported three million people during the eight years

1027
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 1: of the Obama administration. There wasn't a single not one protest,

1028
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: not one word about it. In fact, the Obama administration

1029
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 1: was actually bragging about the number of deportations. Did you

1030
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: know that even the Biden administration actually did some deportations

1031
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 1: While they were simultaneously opening the border for millions and

1032
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 1: millions of people, they actually deported a couple of million

1033
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: of criminal illegals. It was lost in the flood of

1034
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: all the people they let in, not a single protest.

1035
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: Why do you suppose that is the overarching narrative for Democrats?

1036
01:07:54,960 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: The easily digested narrative for the Rubes is that Trump

1037
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 1: is a Nazi. He is trying to end democracy, and

1038
01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 1: he is trying to commit unspeakable acts of evil that

1039
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 1: are just like Nazi Germany in the nineteen thirties. That

1040
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: is a very easy to digest narrative for people who

1041
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:25,799
Speaker 1: already hate Donald Trump and who do absolutely zero critical thinking.

1042
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: There's a great roarshack test about who actually is a sane,

1043
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 1: rational human being came out this weekend. It's called the

1044
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Epstein Files. If you believe that this showed that Trump

1045
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: or anyone you hate is involved in a secret global

1046
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:53,799
Speaker 1: cabal to eat and rape children. You are not a sane,

1047
01:08:53,920 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: rational thinker. There is not one single thing, not one

1048
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:01,839
Speaker 1: that implicates.

1049
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,800
Speaker 4: Any human being in any.

1050
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: Illegal activity, not one file, not one anything. The big

1051
01:09:10,240 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: reason that the DOJ fought so hard against the release

1052
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 1: of the Epstein files is because the tip line was

1053
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: that the logs from the FBI tip line were included

1054
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: in this and all manner of crazy people were able

1055
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:32,240
Speaker 1: to make all manner of insane allegations. After Epstein killed

1056
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:35,880
Speaker 1: himself or didn't kill himself, depending on what you believe,

1057
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: all manner of people were calling in with all manner

1058
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 1: of crazy stories.

1059
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 4: George H. W. Bush was.

1060
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: Eating children, he was involved in cannibalism. Clearly not true.

1061
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,640
Speaker 1: Unless you are predisposed to believe that George H. W.

1062
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 1: Bush was a member of the Bohemian Grove Reptilians and

1063
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: was absolutely eating children, then you're likely to believe an

1064
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: anonymous tip that is so out there it is not

1065
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 1: even close to believable. If you believe that Donald Trump

1066
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: forced someone to rape a young girl, even though that

1067
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:21,360
Speaker 1: tip was actually investigated, and not only was the tipster

1068
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 1: determined to be not credible, she also had multiple psych.

1069
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 4: Holds placed on her. She's crazy.

1070
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter because the narrative is out there,

1071
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:39,519
Speaker 1: and the narrative that liberals want all of their useful

1072
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 1: idiots to believe is that Trump is a Nazi. And

1073
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 1: I want you to think, going all the way back

1074
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 1: to the earliest days of Donald Trump the political candidate,

1075
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: donald Trump's the political figure. What is the overarching theme

1076
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 1: that they have been trying to convince you that Trump

1077
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: represents that Trump is He's a threat to democracy. He's

1078
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: a danger to democracy. The man lost a presidential election

1079
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 1: and then was prosecuted in two different federal cases by

1080
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: the guy he was running against, the then current president,

1081
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: and in two state cases. So the power of the

1082
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:25,480
Speaker 1: state was not wielded by Donald Trump, but wielded against

1083
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:30,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. At the end of Trump's first term, he

1084
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:34,919
Speaker 1: didn't use his power to silence all of his critics

1085
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: and to remove them from the digital public square. He

1086
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: was removed from the digital public square. He kicked off

1087
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: of Twitter, kicked off of Facebook, he was de backed,

1088
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: his campaign was not He couldn't even send out emails

1089
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 1: because I think it was his mail server mail Chimp

1090
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: dropped him.

1091
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 4: But he is the Nazi as the sitting president.

1092
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 1: All of this happened to him. But he's the threat

1093
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: to democracy, He's the threat to freedom. So if you're

1094
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:11,599
Speaker 1: already predisposed to believe that that Trump is a threat

1095
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 1: to democracy, Trump is a threat to freedom. Trump is

1096
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: a threat to all good people. You're also indoctrinated to believe,

1097
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 1: in a broader sense that white people are responsible for

1098
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:29,520
Speaker 1: much of the world's evil through colonialism, through the stealing

1099
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 1: of other lands. And you believe, therefore that black and

1100
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 1: brown people deserve this land, which was ill gotten to

1101
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 1: begin with by all of those white European colonists and conquerors.

1102
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:48,440
Speaker 1: You are also very likely to believe, as Billie Eilish

1103
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 1: said at the Grammy's yesterday, they borders aren't real, that

1104
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: this is stolen land, so everybody has a right to it,

1105
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 1: except of course, the white colonizers. If you are predisposed

1106
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: to believe that, and a disproportionate number of MPs students

1107
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:06,600
Speaker 1: who happen to be black and Hispanic are indoctrinated to

1108
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:12,600
Speaker 1: believe that, then of course they're going to believe that

1109
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 1: any effort to enforce the law, any effort to use

1110
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: government power to get people out of this country who

1111
01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 1: objectively are not allowed to be here, but because of

1112
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:28,759
Speaker 1: the liberal sense of morality, absolutely have a greater claim

1113
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:33,640
Speaker 1: to this country than the evil white people. Then you're

1114
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 1: going to believe that this is yet more evidence of

1115
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump the Adolf Hitler, using his brown Shirts, using

1116
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 1: his Gestapo. And what is the rhetoric that we keep hearing.

1117
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 1: We've put together an entire montage of Democrats saying over

1118
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 1: and over and over again, ICE is Nazis, They're slave catchers.

1119
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:04,959
Speaker 1: This is deeply, deeply racially coded language. It's the idea

1120
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:08,599
Speaker 1: that this is somehow a white supremacist action. What if

1121
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 1: I were to tell you, and this is another thing

1122
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:13,559
Speaker 1: that the useful idiots and MPs and all the other

1123
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: kids who are walking out or are just being used

1124
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 1: as political pawns by Democrats who are refusing to tell

1125
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:21,679
Speaker 1: them to the truth. What if I were to tell

1126
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: you that not one, but both agents who shot and

1127
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: killed Alex pretty are Hispanic. What if I was to

1128
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: tell you that thirty three percent of ICE agents in

1129
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 1: the United States are Hispanic? What if I was to

1130
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 1: tell you that fifty percent of border patrol agents are Hispanic?

1131
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 1: Kind of changes the narrative that there are all a

1132
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: bunch of redneck racists who just want the brown people out.

1133
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: Isn't it that that sort of changes your opinion, doesn't it?

1134
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:58,440
Speaker 4: Well, it doesn't.

1135
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: If the narrative you believe is so ingrained in you,

1136
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 1: and the cognitive dissonance that you feel is so strong

1137
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 1: when you're presented with evidence that directly contradicts your worldview

1138
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:13,880
Speaker 1: that you actively reject that evidence instead go back to

1139
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:18,240
Speaker 1: that easy to digest narrative. Trump is a Nazi, America

1140
01:15:18,439 --> 01:15:21,880
Speaker 1: is racist, and he's using his brown shirts to keep

1141
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:27,160
Speaker 1: America white. That's why so many people believe it, dear caller,

1142
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:37,920
Speaker 1: because it's an easy to digest myth. Producer Doug tells

1143
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 1: me that during the commercial break, we got a very

1144
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: angry call from a woman who was furious with me

1145
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 1: because George W. Bush absolutely does eat children.

1146
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:51,799
Speaker 4: Folks.

1147
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:55,720
Speaker 1: This is exactly what I am talking about. It's the

1148
01:15:56,120 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 1: Epstein files are a perfect Roarshack test for critical thinking.

1149
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 1: Let's see time not to name the unsung hero of

1150
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:16,599
Speaker 1: the day. During last night's Grammy Awards, there was a

1151
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:21,040
Speaker 1: massive standing ovation for ice out.

1152
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:21,679
Speaker 4: Well.

1153
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:25,479
Speaker 1: Two young ladies refuse to now they've been misidentified as

1154
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: Duff McKagan's daughter's the bassist for Guns N' Roses. It

1155
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:34,599
Speaker 1: was actually sports reporter Emily Austin and her friend who

1156
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,640
Speaker 1: filmed the video of themselves refusing to stand up for

1157
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:39,640
Speaker 1: the anti ice applause.

1158
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 4: I love our law.

1159
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 1: Enforcement, they said, we love America. We love our law enforcement.

1160
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 1: Emily Austin and her as yet unidentified friend, your unsung

1161
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:09,440
Speaker 1: heroes of the day. One of the longest serving members

1162
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:14,839
Speaker 1: in the history of the Wisconsin State Legislature is calling

1163
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:18,640
Speaker 1: it a career. We'll talk with him in just a

1164
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:21,800
Speaker 1: second here on the Dan O'Donnells Show, as we enter

1165
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 1: the final hour. Before we do, though, cold hard cash contest.

1166
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: Keyword this hour Dollard l Lar Dollar. You have got

1167
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 1: until fifty five past the hour that he is five

1168
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: fifty five. For those of you in Rio Linda or

1169
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of years ago, we tried to

1170
01:17:41,680 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 1: determine what community in Wisconsin would be like Rio Linda.

1171
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:47,599
Speaker 1: Russia always said for those of you in Rio Linda,

1172
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 1: because when he was doing his show in Sacramento, he

1173
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 1: quickly learned that all of the shall we say, most

1174
01:17:56,000 --> 01:18:00,680
Speaker 1: interesting calls came from the community of Rio Linda. I

1175
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:04,320
Speaker 1: seem to remember that we had it nailed down to Sheboygan,

1176
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 1: West Dallas or cut a Hay. My vote was for

1177
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: the dirty style. For those of you in West Dallas,

1178
01:18:12,880 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 1: fifty five past the hour is five fifty five. But

1179
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 1: I love West Look, I kid, I kid. My mom's

1180
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,720
Speaker 1: whole family is from West Dallas. So I feel like

1181
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm sort of like am I am an honorary member

1182
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 1: of West Alica, and I feel like I can make

1183
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: fun you know what I'm saying, Like, like you know,

1184
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 1: for racially insensitive, like Polish people can make Polish jokes,

1185
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:43,840
Speaker 1: even though everybody loves Polish jokes. I feel like I

1186
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 1: can make West Alice jokes. So for those of you

1187
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 1: in West Dallas. Before we get to our big interview,

1188
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 1: an update on the stories we've been following all day

1189
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:57,559
Speaker 1: for you. President Truff appearing on The Dan Bongino Show

1190
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: to talk about the situation in Minnesota and how it

1191
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:08,040
Speaker 1: will be for ICE agents to get off the streets.

1192
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: He said, Look, all you need to do is cooperate

1193
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:13,280
Speaker 1: with federal officials. Just look at what's going on in

1194
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 1: other cities, places like Memphis, places like Miami. Just look

1195
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 1: at what we've been able to do to drive down

1196
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: the nation's murder rate through deportations.

1197
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 4: Throughout twenty twenty five, we have the best crime numbers

1198
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:25,639
Speaker 4: we've ever had.

1199
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:27,559
Speaker 2: We have the lowest number of cribs in one hundred

1200
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,799
Speaker 2: and twenty five years since they recorded. That's a nineteen

1201
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 2: hundred year to think of it, one hundred and twenty

1202
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,679
Speaker 2: five years. That's despite a lot of bad people coming

1203
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 2: in through the border that shouldn't be here, and we're

1204
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 2: getting them out.

1205
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 1: The President also touched on a number of other topics.

1206
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:46,879
Speaker 1: Later today, He actually signed a big executive order creating

1207
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:52,719
Speaker 1: the nation's first strategic rare earth mineral reserves. He's calling

1208
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: it Project Vault. He also took questions from reporters. They

1209
01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 1: are on a wide variety of topics, including the gooing

1210
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:06,400
Speaker 1: ice deportations in Minneapolis. As we reported exclusively last hour,

1211
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,839
Speaker 1: MPs Milwaukee Public school students are going to be staging

1212
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 1: a district wide walkout at ten thirty on Wednesday morning.

1213
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:18,920
Speaker 1: MPs put out a memo to all staff members reminding

1214
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:23,679
Speaker 1: them of its policies about ice and student walkouts and

1215
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: all that sort of thing. We also broke for you

1216
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 1: the fact that in the state legislature, the online sports

1217
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: betting bill is not dead, that there is hope that

1218
01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 1: there is going to be a backroom deal that gets

1219
01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:39,719
Speaker 1: the Potawatamie, the Oneida, and the ho Chunk to create

1220
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: a government backed cartel to essentially run online sports gambling

1221
01:20:44,160 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin coming up.

1222
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 4: Later in this hour.

1223
01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:50,800
Speaker 1: As he should be worrying about the Bucks being the

1224
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:55,439
Speaker 1: embarrassment of the NBA, a team so bad that it's

1225
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:59,799
Speaker 1: in the process of chasing its superstar Jannis Anteta Kumpo

1226
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 1: out of town. Doc Rivers again opines on Ice and politics.

1227
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 1: What retired NBA superstar and Hall of Famer does he

1228
01:21:11,520 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: truly believe that Ice would have deported We will get

1229
01:21:15,400 --> 01:21:19,360
Speaker 1: to that coming up later on in just a second.

1230
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:25,479
Speaker 1: Right now, though, the Wisconsin State Senate is suffering a

1231
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 1: big loss because easily the most conservative member of it

1232
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: has decided to call it a career. He is State

1233
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:41,439
Speaker 1: Senator Steve Noss, and he is easily, I think the

1234
01:21:41,479 --> 01:21:46,879
Speaker 1: most conservative and the most principled member of the state Senate.

1235
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 1: He joins us now live on the phone. Senator Nos,

1236
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 1: thank you so much for your time and congratulations on

1237
01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 1: an incredible career.

1238
01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 3: Well, thank you very much. It's been an honor serving

1239
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:05,839
Speaker 3: we the people for so many years. And I understand

1240
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 3: it's been referred to as a career, but that was

1241
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 3: never my intention. In fact, Dan, I could have made

1242
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 3: more money as a school business manager. That's what my

1243
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:19,519
Speaker 3: master's degree is in. It just happened the seat opened

1244
01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 3: up so many years ago, and I was so interested

1245
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:26,679
Speaker 3: in politics and wanted to contribute to a better government,

1246
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 3: a smaller government, more effective government. So I decided to run.

1247
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 3: And I have no regrets. I've enjoyed it and it's been,

1248
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 3: quite frankly, an honor. In fact, I tell people that

1249
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 3: the greatest honor I ever had, which is in my release,

1250
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:51,760
Speaker 3: was serving the nation in the military, and serving in

1251
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 3: the Senate has been a greater honor than being a

1252
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 3: Wisconsin Senator. Because of this, only three out of ten

1253
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 3: high school students can join the military. And when you

1254
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 3: when you serve in a military, you serve a nation,

1255
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 3: and it's just that is an incredible opportunity. And serving

1256
01:23:08,160 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 3: in the Wisconsin States of a Senate is also another

1257
01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:15,920
Speaker 3: opportunity that I have no regrets over. It's been It's

1258
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 3: been great wonderful and.

1259
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 1: Now was was just the time? I mean, obviously, I

1260
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 1: think you know what people in politics are saying about

1261
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 1: this razor thin margin for Republicans there there's no doubt

1262
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 1: if you if you ran again, you you would not

1263
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:36,040
Speaker 1: even I mean, you'd win by double digits easily. It's

1264
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:38,559
Speaker 1: a very safe seat, and you are beloved in that district.

1265
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 11: Uh.

1266
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,200
Speaker 1: But but people are saying, well, this is a harbinger

1267
01:23:42,240 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 1: of things to come. You must know that that the

1268
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: Senate is going to fall to Democrats this year.

1269
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 4: Can you sort of put that aside? Do you do?

1270
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 4: You do?

1271
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 12: You?

1272
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 4: Are you retiring now because of that? Or was it

1273
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 4: just time?

1274
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:57,280
Speaker 3: No? It was time?

1275
01:23:57,320 --> 01:23:57,479
Speaker 12: You know.

1276
01:23:57,479 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 3: It's one of those things. And I mentioned to some

1277
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,719
Speaker 3: family members that I have heard for a long time

1278
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,719
Speaker 3: that people, whatever business you're in, whatever you are doing,

1279
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 3: that you'll know it when it's time. And I know it.

1280
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,000
Speaker 3: It's time, and it is time to pass the torch

1281
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 3: to the next person. It has nothing to do with

1282
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 3: whether we are going to maintain control of the Senate

1283
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 3: or not. I've been in office. This is my thirty

1284
01:24:21,280 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 3: fifth year. It's not like I've been there for four

1285
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:25,760
Speaker 3: years or even just decide to get out.

1286
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:26,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1287
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:29,080
Speaker 3: So, And I will also say this, I have no

1288
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:33,799
Speaker 3: opponent right now at all, that's even braving a thought

1289
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 3: of running against me.

1290
01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:39,760
Speaker 1: Really, And I'll admit, sir, I did not. I guess

1291
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:44,000
Speaker 1: I just sort of assumed they were actively recruiting, but

1292
01:24:44,120 --> 01:24:46,520
Speaker 1: I did not know there was not yet a named.

1293
01:24:46,240 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 3: Opponent, no named opponent, and I have not found anybody

1294
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 3: that's even thinking of it.

1295
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 6: Now.

1296
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 3: That may change, but at this juncture you would think

1297
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 3: somebody would be out there, but nope, they're not. In

1298
01:24:57,200 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 3: the last time, over the years, I have had two

1299
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 3: Republican primaries. The last one I got eighty six or

1300
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,679
Speaker 3: eighty seven percent of the vote. It was a credible

1301
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:16,759
Speaker 3: opponent Jefferson County Board married, late thirties, maybe a credible opponent,

1302
01:25:17,240 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 3: but people back home thought they didn't want to lose

1303
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:24,600
Speaker 3: the fighter, and so I won a huge landslide.

1304
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 1: You do have that reputation of being a fighter, oftentimes

1305
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:33,920
Speaker 1: against your own party. As your career sort of winds

1306
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:38,760
Speaker 1: to a close, do you feel confident about conservatism in

1307
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 1: Wisconsin government, specifically the state Senate or do you think

1308
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 1: there's a tad too much squishiness.

1309
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 3: There's a tattoo, much squishiness, no doubt about it. There

1310
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:55,559
Speaker 3: are those who are afraid to poke their head above

1311
01:25:55,600 --> 01:25:58,640
Speaker 3: the boxhol so to speak. And I have found on

1312
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:01,400
Speaker 3: a number of trying to pat myself on the back.

1313
01:26:01,439 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 3: But it is true, just recently, on some issues, there

1314
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 3: are those who are a little hesitant on arguing against

1315
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 3: legislation until you know, and I'll take it head on,

1316
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:16,280
Speaker 3: don't care nothing they can do to me. And then

1317
01:26:16,360 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 3: I notice one, two, maybe three other senators so they start

1318
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 3: to get on board and say, yeah, yeah, this is right.

1319
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:23,640
Speaker 3: What are we going to do about this?

1320
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:25,240
Speaker 12: Do you feel.

1321
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 1: Concerned with like I'm sorry to interrupt, sir, do you

1322
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 1: feel concerned like, without you being the first head out

1323
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 1: of the fox hole, that those other senators are going

1324
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 1: to lose their nerve and maybe go along with legislation

1325
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 1: that they know they should be opposing and trying to kill.

1326
01:26:46,600 --> 01:26:50,800
Speaker 3: That is possible. It is possible. You really have to

1327
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:54,679
Speaker 3: have a backbone. I have gotten into some glacious fights

1328
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:56,880
Speaker 3: over the years, and I remember telling one of my

1329
01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:02,560
Speaker 3: colleagues when I was opposite his vote, who kind of

1330
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:04,120
Speaker 3: ripped on me, and I said, you know what, I

1331
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 3: don't care if you don't like what I wear, I

1332
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:09,240
Speaker 3: don't care if you like the way I vote does

1333
01:27:09,280 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 3: not matter. I'm not going to see you tomorrow morning

1334
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 3: at my coffee table, at my breakfast table, having a

1335
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:19,200
Speaker 3: cup of coffee. So I really don't care, and I'll

1336
01:27:19,200 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 3: go ahead to head with anybody. I bring it on, baby,

1337
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 3: And I have had some tell me. Just the other day,

1338
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:29,639
Speaker 3: I was talking to a constituent and they said, you know, nas,

1339
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:32,840
Speaker 3: I think in the end I followed your career. You

1340
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:37,240
Speaker 3: are the conscience of the Senate, and I think they

1341
01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 3: don't like that. When I start pointing out flauging legislation,

1342
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 3: I don't think they like that. And there's no question

1343
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 3: in my mind there are several lobbyists that probably right

1344
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 3: now they're throwing a party and the cheers are going

1345
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 3: out that I'm leaving because I have been an impediment

1346
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 3: to some of the legislation that they really want to

1347
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 3: push in. All the more reason for the people in

1348
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:02,160
Speaker 3: the district to try to get someone who comes in,

1349
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 3: whoever the mixture is, elect a person who has a backbone,

1350
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 3: because they're going to have to be standing up for you,

1351
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:13,040
Speaker 3: and that is just critically important.

1352
01:28:13,840 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 1: The conservative conscience of the State Senate. I have actually

1353
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,200
Speaker 1: referred to you as that myself, and the interest of

1354
01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:24,679
Speaker 1: full disclosure, that is why I absolutely love State Senator

1355
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:29,120
Speaker 1: Steve Noss, because, Sir, I have, in all honesty, and

1356
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 1: I am not just blowing smoke. I have never seen

1357
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:38,000
Speaker 1: a politician in state government who was just as unmoved

1358
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:42,799
Speaker 1: by lobbyist dollars and unmoved by leadership pressure, and moved

1359
01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: only by what he thought was best for his constituents.

1360
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 1: And that's really why I wanted to have you on

1361
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:52,919
Speaker 1: this afternoon, because maybe those outside of your district don't

1362
01:28:53,240 --> 01:28:58,600
Speaker 1: really understand how staunch of an ally that you have

1363
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 1: been for all those those of us conservatives in the

1364
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:05,559
Speaker 1: State Senate and before that in the Assembly for so

1365
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:11,400
Speaker 1: many years, constantly making sure that we're not going along

1366
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:15,519
Speaker 1: to get along, that we're not going native, so to speak,

1367
01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 1: going Madison on some of this legislation. I really do

1368
01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 1: appreciate you for that.

1369
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 4: Now.

1370
01:29:23,640 --> 01:29:27,599
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard in my three o'clock

1371
01:29:27,800 --> 01:29:31,880
Speaker 1: hour I was touching on this in our recap before

1372
01:29:31,920 --> 01:29:37,559
Speaker 1: you came on this hour. The online sports betting bill,

1373
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:41,280
Speaker 1: Is that in fact back on the table. What are

1374
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:44,040
Speaker 1: you hearing about that.

1375
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 3: That is one of those bills that you do have

1376
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:49,000
Speaker 3: to watch. Shelby quite frank about that, and I'm watching it.

1377
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 3: I'm not in favor of it. I'm opposed to it.

1378
01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:53,479
Speaker 4: I am.

1379
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:56,040
Speaker 3: Several of my colleagues started to hit it hard right

1380
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:58,479
Speaker 3: at the outset last October, and lo and behold about

1381
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 3: four weeks later, it's the agenda for the State Assembly

1382
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 3: to take up when we have other bills out there

1383
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:08,519
Speaker 3: that should be on the floor and it's not going there.

1384
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:12,680
Speaker 3: That's why the GP has got to recalibrate, because there

1385
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:17,479
Speaker 3: are people in need, they're hurting. There are a number

1386
01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:19,880
Speaker 3: of issues. So to answer your question, yes, that is

1387
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:23,639
Speaker 3: one that the public really needs to watch. In fact,

1388
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:29,200
Speaker 3: there was an individual invited in to speak to the

1389
01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:33,000
Speaker 3: Senate and it's maybe there was Assembly too, but anyway

1390
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:35,960
Speaker 3: about different issues. And one of the things he said

1391
01:30:36,120 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 3: three or four times, do not pass the electronic gaming bill. Really, yeah,

1392
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 3: and that is it's a it's not a good bill.

1393
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 3: It's I think here's some of what you mentioned, and

1394
01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 3: that the problem, especially with young people, is that they're

1395
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:58,240
Speaker 3: maxing out some of their credit cards doing the online gambling.

1396
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:03,320
Speaker 3: It's otherwise illegal and you covered some of the back ground.

1397
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:06,479
Speaker 3: So yeah, that is a bill that you people are

1398
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,800
Speaker 3: going to have to keep their eye on. We are well,

1399
01:31:09,840 --> 01:31:14,720
Speaker 3: the Assembly will probably be done in February, while we're

1400
01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:18,360
Speaker 3: in February, in about three weeks or so, so this

1401
01:31:18,400 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 3: is going to go lickety split. Yeah, yeah, you got

1402
01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:24,920
Speaker 3: to the public. We the people have to keep a

1403
01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 3: beat on that bill.

1404
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:27,280
Speaker 4: We certainly do.

1405
01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:31,000
Speaker 1: What what do you think the legislature's biggest priority should

1406
01:31:31,040 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 1: be for this your final year in the Senate.

1407
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 3: Well, clearly the economy. Absolutely, there are people out there

1408
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:43,320
Speaker 3: we hear about, which is true. The gas prices have

1409
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:47,639
Speaker 3: dropped and the proverbial carton of eggs, things of that nature.

1410
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:53,320
Speaker 3: But my god, the electricity costs are just escalating. We're

1411
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:55,719
Speaker 3: going through a heavy duty cold style here. But even

1412
01:31:55,760 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 3: setting that aside, electrical costs are up. Jobs, I would say, affordability,

1413
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 3: and we know that with young people especially that want

1414
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:07,680
Speaker 3: to buy a home, good luck with that. And the

1415
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:11,200
Speaker 3: average right now is expected to be expected to be

1416
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:13,439
Speaker 3: about forty years old by the time you buy your

1417
01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:18,000
Speaker 3: first home. And it's just it's shameful. And that's what

1418
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:21,360
Speaker 3: we've got to focus on, not lobbyists and spending. We

1419
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:25,200
Speaker 3: got to focus on we the people, and the economy

1420
01:32:25,240 --> 01:32:29,040
Speaker 3: and health and property taxes. Brace for impact. I voted

1421
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:33,080
Speaker 3: against out in the legislature. Out of eighteen budgets, I

1422
01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 3: voted against nine, and that's because I didn't purposely try

1423
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,320
Speaker 3: to get to nine. But I call them balls and strikes.

1424
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:40,720
Speaker 3: If it's a good budget, fine, If not, I'm not

1425
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 3: going to And I did not vote for the last

1426
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:47,880
Speaker 3: one for a number of reasons. So property taxes, and

1427
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:51,160
Speaker 3: I predicted last year before the bills came out, I

1428
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 3: told my members and caucus, brace for impact. And I

1429
01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:58,280
Speaker 3: will say it again now, brace for impact. In December

1430
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:03,240
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty six. This is not good, and certainly

1431
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:05,679
Speaker 3: the governor did not help things with his four hundred

1432
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:09,960
Speaker 3: years people. That's terrible. That's reckless, reckless, and that's a

1433
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:12,960
Speaker 3: person who I believe knew he was going out the

1434
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:15,000
Speaker 3: door and he just sought the heck with it. I'm

1435
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 3: going to go on to education and the heck with

1436
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 3: the people.

1437
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:22,600
Speaker 4: It is nauseating.

1438
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 1: Senator Steve Noss, my guest here on the Dan o'donald Show,

1439
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:31,599
Speaker 1: Sir again, congratulations on an incredible career. I'm sure we'll

1440
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 1: be talking to you before your retirement, and truly, sir,

1441
01:33:37,240 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 1: thank you for everything.

1442
01:33:38,800 --> 01:33:39,800
Speaker 4: We do appreciate it.

1443
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:42,080
Speaker 3: Well, thank you very much, and I will fight right.

1444
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:42,479
Speaker 1: To the end.

1445
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:45,680
Speaker 4: All right, sir. He is Steve Noss. I am Dan o'donald.

1446
01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:49,320
Speaker 1: Much more on the Dan o'donald show coming up in

1447
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:50,400
Speaker 1: just three minutes.

1448
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:58,880
Speaker 7: Classical Conservatism contemporary style. Dan o'donald will be right back.

1449
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:04,880
Speaker 1: Say what you will about retiring State Senator Steve Noss.

1450
01:34:05,080 --> 01:34:09,680
Speaker 1: You cannot say the man lacks principles. In fact, you

1451
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:12,160
Speaker 1: can make the argument that he is and has been

1452
01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:16,679
Speaker 1: for a long long time, the single most principled member

1453
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:21,160
Speaker 1: of the Wisconsin State Senate. Now, as far as the

1454
01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:26,000
Speaker 1: timing of the retirement goes, it's not ideal. This is

1455
01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:28,360
Speaker 1: not a district that is going to flip to Democrats.

1456
01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 4: It's just not.

1457
01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:33,880
Speaker 1: It is a very very safe Republican district. Already, you

1458
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:39,160
Speaker 1: have got a very highly respected state representative who may

1459
01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:42,160
Speaker 1: or may not be mulling a run for the Senate.

1460
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure as soon as she heard the news, Representative

1461
01:34:46,040 --> 01:34:49,960
Speaker 1: Amanda ned Wesky would be thinking about this. She would

1462
01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:53,519
Speaker 1: be like Senator nots said that actually kind of blew

1463
01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:57,200
Speaker 1: my mind that there wasn't even a named opponent yet.

1464
01:34:57,680 --> 01:35:01,599
Speaker 1: Democrats maybe are going to try to recruit somebody now

1465
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:04,639
Speaker 1: that this seat is open, but it's clearly not their

1466
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:10,000
Speaker 1: priority right now. Republicans have eighteen seats. They do have

1467
01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 1: a majority. Democrats control fifteen seats. Seventeen of the thirty

1468
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:19,880
Speaker 1: three seats in the state Senate are going to be

1469
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:23,639
Speaker 1: up for grabs. Twelve are currently held by Republicans, five

1470
01:35:23,720 --> 01:35:28,600
Speaker 1: by Democrats. Nas as well as Senator Rob Hutton, have

1471
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:31,559
Speaker 1: announced that they're not running now. Hutton is in a

1472
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:37,519
Speaker 1: district that was redrawn some might say jerrymandered in order

1473
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:42,120
Speaker 1: to give Democrats a massive advantage that is likely going

1474
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:46,720
Speaker 1: to be a pickup. Democrats still need two more. In

1475
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:50,240
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Assembly, there are ninety nine seats. All ninety

1476
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:53,559
Speaker 1: nine are up for grabs. Republicans have a fifty four

1477
01:35:53,920 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 1: forty five majority, after the Great Jerrymander of twenty twenty

1478
01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:04,360
Speaker 1: three brought that down from a sixty four seat majority.

1479
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:08,439
Speaker 1: Democrats would thus need to have a net pickup of

1480
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:12,880
Speaker 1: five in order to flip control. That is not considered

1481
01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 1: to be especially likely. However, if it is a big

1482
01:36:17,040 --> 01:36:23,040
Speaker 1: Democrat year. Then who knows. Over the weekend, there was

1483
01:36:23,240 --> 01:36:27,519
Speaker 1: yet another special election, this time in Texas, a district

1484
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 1: in the Fort Worth area won by a Democrat. In

1485
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:38,439
Speaker 1: the Texas State Senate, there was a thirty one point swing.

1486
01:36:39,880 --> 01:36:46,479
Speaker 1: Trump won by fourteen Taylor Remett or Remet one by fourteen.

1487
01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:50,719
Speaker 1: Now it's a special election. Is he very likely going

1488
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 1: to get trounced in the general. Yes, But this didn't

1489
01:36:54,479 --> 01:37:07,080
Speaker 1: happen in a vacuum last September. Couple of Florida congressional seats, Virginia, Arizona, Tennessee,

1490
01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:14,559
Speaker 1: Texas between September and November all saw dramatic Democrat overperformance. Now,

1491
01:37:14,600 --> 01:37:19,599
Speaker 1: Democrats didn't flip any House seats that were previously held

1492
01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:27,040
Speaker 1: by Republicans, but they significantly overperformed Kamala Harris's presidential margins

1493
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:32,040
Speaker 1: in every single House special election, often by double digits.

1494
01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:38,640
Speaker 1: They're overperforming Kamala. Now this isn't especially surprising. The typical

1495
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:42,160
Speaker 1: electoral dynamics here are such that.

1496
01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:44,560
Speaker 4: You are very.

1497
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:47,320
Speaker 1: Likely going to see over performance by the party that

1498
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:53,599
Speaker 1: just lost the White House in state legislative seats in

1499
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:58,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five special elections and regularly scheduled state elections,

1500
01:37:59,439 --> 01:38:04,120
Speaker 1: Democrats flipped twenty one percent of Republican held legislative seats.

1501
01:38:04,720 --> 01:38:07,599
Speaker 1: You could actually make the argument that this is in

1502
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:14,200
Speaker 1: fact more concerning for Republicans because typically you will get

1503
01:38:14,680 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 1: less partisanship where it's just a blind pull the lever

1504
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:22,759
Speaker 1: for the party of your choice, than you do in

1505
01:38:23,200 --> 01:38:27,559
Speaker 1: congressional seats or Senate seats or the presidential election, because

1506
01:38:28,479 --> 01:38:31,360
Speaker 1: you get to know whoever it is that your state

1507
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:35,280
Speaker 1: senator or your state representative is on a much more

1508
01:38:35,400 --> 01:38:42,000
Speaker 1: intimate level than you do your congress person. They've maybe

1509
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:45,840
Speaker 1: come to your house to do doors, to knock on

1510
01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:47,799
Speaker 1: your door and say, hey, can I have your support

1511
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:57,560
Speaker 1: in the upcoming election in contested elections, in all special elections,

1512
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:02,559
Speaker 1: according to down ballot dot com, which keeps track of

1513
01:39:02,600 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 1: such things, Democrats have overperformed the twenty twenty four presidential

1514
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:14,640
Speaker 1: election by an average of thirteen percentage points. It is

1515
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:19,880
Speaker 1: noted that this exceeded very similar patterns in twenty seventeen,

1516
01:39:21,600 --> 01:39:25,599
Speaker 1: meaning Democrats are doing better than they were in twenty

1517
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:29,439
Speaker 1: seventeen when there was a pretty substantial blue wave election.

1518
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, according to the Real Clear Politics average

1519
01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:41,519
Speaker 1: of polls, Democrats lead on the generic congressional ballot by

1520
01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 1: about five percent four point seven percent. In early February

1521
01:39:47,240 --> 01:39:53,240
Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen, Democrats consistently led by between five and

1522
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:58,959
Speaker 1: eight points, so the generic ballot is a little bit tighter. However,

1523
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:05,160
Speaker 1: in the generic ballot in twenty seventeen, you similarly saw

1524
01:40:05,760 --> 01:40:10,160
Speaker 1: over performance in special elections, and you similarly saw the

1525
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 1: generic ballot start to tilt very heavily towards the Democrats.

1526
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:20,839
Speaker 1: We are at the point where, yes, the generic ballot

1527
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:25,120
Speaker 1: does start to get predictive. If you also look at

1528
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:29,960
Speaker 1: the prediction markets on predicted on poly market, on Kelshi,

1529
01:40:30,160 --> 01:40:33,559
Speaker 1: they are all favoring Democrats to win back control of

1530
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:36,639
Speaker 1: the House. They're almost certainly not going to win back

1531
01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:40,360
Speaker 1: control of the Senate simply because the seats that are

1532
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:46,120
Speaker 1: up are overwhelmingly in very strong Republican states and there

1533
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:49,880
Speaker 1: aren't a whole lot of opportunities, if any, real opportunities

1534
01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:54,000
Speaker 1: for pickups. But with every single House seat up and

1535
01:40:54,080 --> 01:40:59,320
Speaker 1: here in Wisconsin, make no mistake, folks, it is almost

1536
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 1: fata that the state Supreme Court controlled by radical left

1537
01:41:04,880 --> 01:41:11,160
Speaker 1: wingers and judges justices who are desperately afraid of being

1538
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:14,720
Speaker 1: overturned by the United States Supreme Court again, so they

1539
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:20,960
Speaker 1: outsourced the jerrymandering work to six district judges, to six

1540
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:29,240
Speaker 1: circuit court judges that are going to jerrymander the congressional maps. This,

1541
01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:32,760
Speaker 1: of course, presents a massive challenge. How exactly can it

1542
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:36,600
Speaker 1: be constitutional for a panel of Circuit court judges to

1543
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:41,720
Speaker 1: overturn the state Supreme Court, which already signed off on

1544
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:49,200
Speaker 1: this congressional map earlier in this redistricting cycle. They're going

1545
01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:52,719
Speaker 1: to try to jerrymander Derek van Orden and Brian Style

1546
01:41:52,880 --> 01:41:56,360
Speaker 1: right out of their seats. It might not work on Style,

1547
01:41:56,479 --> 01:42:00,160
Speaker 1: regardless of how that map is drawn, because Style it

1548
01:42:00,240 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 1: just blows it out of the water with fundraising. He's

1549
01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:07,479
Speaker 1: also very, very popular in district, and he's also seen

1550
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:14,440
Speaker 1: as just a good congressman, so he might be untouchable.

1551
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:18,600
Speaker 1: But you'd better believe they want Derek Van Orden out.

1552
01:42:19,080 --> 01:42:22,360
Speaker 1: They've got a radical leftist who spent most of her

1553
01:42:22,439 --> 01:42:26,240
Speaker 1: time not running for Congress running a scam pack while

1554
01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:30,599
Speaker 1: pretending to be a waitress. Her name is Rebecca Cook,

1555
01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:32,640
Speaker 1: and the only way she's going to be able to

1556
01:42:32,640 --> 01:42:36,760
Speaker 1: defeat Van Orden is almost certainly in a massive blue wave,

1557
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:40,960
Speaker 1: or if Democrats simply cheat for her and jerrymander the

1558
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:43,720
Speaker 1: district so that it's impossible for Van Orden to win.

1559
01:42:45,320 --> 01:42:48,519
Speaker 1: You've got the cowardly congressman Mark Pocan, who has been

1560
01:42:48,640 --> 01:42:53,480
Speaker 1: ducking my repeated invitations to debate me on immigration policy

1561
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:56,760
Speaker 1: and redistricting anything he wants to debate me on on

1562
01:42:56,800 --> 01:43:00,320
Speaker 1: this show. I will turn this program over to Mark

1563
01:43:00,360 --> 01:43:04,240
Speaker 1: Pokann if he can promise me that he's not going

1564
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:07,560
Speaker 1: to start swearing or saying really weird stuff difficult.

1565
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:08,040
Speaker 4: I know.

1566
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:14,599
Speaker 1: He's openly pushing because remember we were the ones who

1567
01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:18,880
Speaker 1: outed the fact that Pocanne has actually been cyberstalking Van Orden.

1568
01:43:19,040 --> 01:43:22,640
Speaker 1: In one of the weirdest bits of congressional drama that

1569
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:24,960
Speaker 1: I think I've ever seen in all my years of

1570
01:43:25,080 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 1: covering this sort of stuff. He actually tweets at Derek

1571
01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:31,160
Speaker 1: Van Orden like five times a day. We went through

1572
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 1: his tweets and documented it just how many times this

1573
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:39,599
Speaker 1: crazy person is going after Van Orden. So he wants

1574
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 1: to just jerrymander the hell out of this that by

1575
01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:47,519
Speaker 1: the way, if you'll remember, last year was the big

1576
01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:51,960
Speaker 1: selling point for getting Susan Crawford on the State Supreme

1577
01:43:52,040 --> 01:44:00,040
Speaker 1: Court so they could jerrymander two seats for Democrats. And

1578
01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:03,759
Speaker 1: now there are some variables. Will the United States Supreme

1579
01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:07,960
Speaker 1: Court strike down aspects of the Voting Rights Act that

1580
01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 1: require majority minority districts and necessitate a redrawing of the

1581
01:44:13,920 --> 01:44:17,439
Speaker 1: map midway through this redistricting cycle that would probably net

1582
01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:22,160
Speaker 1: Republicans fifteen to eighteen seats. It's entirely possible, I think

1583
01:44:22,320 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 1: unlikely that that decision comes down, but Republicans shouldn't kid themselves.

1584
01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:34,280
Speaker 1: This is going to be a very difficult election cycle,

1585
01:44:34,720 --> 01:44:38,040
Speaker 1: especially in a state like Wisconsin. That's why it's all

1586
01:44:38,080 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 1: hands on deck. Time you're listening to the Dan o'donald Show,

1587
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:43,920
Speaker 1: Conservative thought.

1588
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:44,760
Speaker 4: Not just talk.

1589
01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:53,800
Speaker 7: The Dan o'donald Show is coming right back.

1590
01:44:57,160 --> 01:45:03,439
Speaker 1: Who has the absolute dumbest political takes in Wisconsin? I know,

1591
01:45:03,640 --> 01:45:08,320
Speaker 1: tough competition. State Senator Chris Larson has got to be

1592
01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:13,040
Speaker 1: up there. If you are not following this buffoon on Facebook,

1593
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:14,760
Speaker 1: you are really missing out.

1594
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,679
Speaker 4: I mean just the most.

1595
01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:23,160
Speaker 1: He goes in half cocked, guns blazing, saying the dumbest

1596
01:45:23,200 --> 01:45:26,920
Speaker 1: stuff in the world and invariably gets absolutely cooked in

1597
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:28,280
Speaker 1: his own comment section.

1598
01:45:29,080 --> 01:45:32,160
Speaker 4: It's truly a joy to watch. So he's up there.

1599
01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:38,719
Speaker 1: I man, there's any number of hosts on the Civic

1600
01:45:38,920 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 1: Media Network. How about the doctor, doctor Jill Lyarley, doctor

1601
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:47,639
Speaker 1: doctor Christen Lyarley. Just making up that Ice is booking

1602
01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:51,679
Speaker 1: a whole ton of rooms in Milwaukee at the Downtown Hilton,

1603
01:45:51,800 --> 01:45:54,040
Speaker 1: just totally made it up on a whole cloth. He's

1604
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 1: got some dumb political takes. I submit to you the

1605
01:45:58,120 --> 01:46:04,240
Speaker 1: single dumbest political takes come from Milwaukee Bucks head coach

1606
01:46:04,439 --> 01:46:07,680
Speaker 1: Doc Rivers. You might remember a couple of weeks ago

1607
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:14,599
Speaker 1: he went off rather unprompted on an anti Ice screed.

1608
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:22,519
Speaker 1: Right Well, a reporter for outkickthe Coverage akaoutkick dot Com

1609
01:46:23,080 --> 01:46:28,360
Speaker 1: our Buddy Klay Travis's site asked him after yesterday's shlacking

1610
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 1: at the hands of the Boston Celtics whether he stands

1611
01:46:32,040 --> 01:46:36,040
Speaker 1: by those comments. And I didn't think Doc could get

1612
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:42,360
Speaker 1: any dumber. Well, talking about politics, boy was iron He said,

1613
01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 1: Ice agents today would deport hakim O LaJuan. Yes, I'm serious.

1614
01:46:47,200 --> 01:46:51,559
Speaker 12: The training of ICE is horrible you I'll know that.

1615
01:46:52,880 --> 01:46:56,839
Speaker 12: And being in Minnesota where there's one hundred and thirty thousand.

1616
01:46:56,840 --> 01:47:02,080
Speaker 12: I think documented Bogle for the one point seven million

1617
01:47:02,840 --> 01:47:03,560
Speaker 12: a documentary.

1618
01:47:04,400 --> 01:47:10,799
Speaker 1: There, they're there, you moron, They've deported a ton of people.

1619
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:15,760
Speaker 1: You haven't heard about it because there's no rioting that

1620
01:47:15,960 --> 01:47:18,719
Speaker 1: they are deporting people in Texas.

1621
01:47:18,760 --> 01:47:21,719
Speaker 4: He goes on, I look at our league.

1622
01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:22,559
Speaker 3: Look at the NBA.

1623
01:47:22,640 --> 01:47:26,200
Speaker 12: We're celebrating pioneers day to day, right And I look

1624
01:47:26,240 --> 01:47:30,240
Speaker 12: at our league and I think, Elijah one, because you're

1625
01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:34,599
Speaker 12: taking off the streets. What but we would right now

1626
01:47:34,720 --> 01:47:38,679
Speaker 12: the way brown people feel, only the brown people would

1627
01:47:38,720 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 12: be taken off the streets. And it's just not right,

1628
01:47:42,240 --> 01:47:44,840
Speaker 12: and it's not more than right. So I stand by

1629
01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:46,080
Speaker 12: my words one.

1630
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:46,800
Speaker 2: Hundred percent.

1631
01:47:48,880 --> 01:47:57,320
Speaker 1: What a laju on would have been taken off the streets. Okay, Coach,

1632
01:47:58,320 --> 01:48:01,400
Speaker 1: maybe we should be focused on the fact that Doc

1633
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:04,240
Speaker 1: Rivers inherited a team a couple of years back that

1634
01:48:04,400 --> 01:48:09,800
Speaker 1: was thirty and thirteen and has sucked so badly at

1635
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:14,960
Speaker 1: his job that the superstar player who for a decade

1636
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:18,599
Speaker 1: has said I don't want to play anywhere other than

1637
01:48:18,640 --> 01:48:23,320
Speaker 1: Milwaukee is now saying, yeah, get me the hell out

1638
01:48:23,320 --> 01:48:28,519
Speaker 1: of this dumpster fire we call the Bucks organization. It

1639
01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:32,160
Speaker 1: is now my very very strong belief that at some

1640
01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:35,680
Speaker 1: point in the next two days, we're all going to

1641
01:48:35,680 --> 01:48:39,320
Speaker 1: get an alert on our phones that says Janis Antetakumpo

1642
01:48:39,479 --> 01:48:45,240
Speaker 1: has been traded. Shams Sharania, who is the very well sourced,

1643
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:49,599
Speaker 1: very well informed NBA insider for ESPN today on one

1644
01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:53,599
Speaker 1: of the Sports Center or related shows, said that not

1645
01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:57,720
Speaker 1: only are the Bucks listening to insanely aggressive offers for

1646
01:48:57,840 --> 01:49:01,120
Speaker 1: Jannis right now the trade deadline is on the they're

1647
01:49:01,120 --> 01:49:05,040
Speaker 1: making counter offers. This deal is likely to be done,

1648
01:49:05,560 --> 01:49:07,000
Speaker 1: possibly as early as tonight.

1649
01:49:07,040 --> 01:49:10,479
Speaker 15: Over the weekend. The Bucks remain engaged listening to teams

1650
01:49:10,520 --> 01:49:14,479
Speaker 15: making aggressive offers, and they've also submitted counter offers to

1651
01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:17,879
Speaker 15: some of the aggressive proposals they've gotten. Giannis into Takompo

1652
01:49:18,120 --> 01:49:21,280
Speaker 15: for all intensive purposes, is ready for his exit from Milwaukee,

1653
01:49:21,280 --> 01:49:24,479
Speaker 15: whether it's at the deadline or in the offseason. He's

1654
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:27,559
Speaker 15: informed the necessary Bucks officials to communicate to them that

1655
01:49:27,640 --> 01:49:29,400
Speaker 15: he believes it's time for both sides to have a

1656
01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:31,720
Speaker 15: fresh start. So, who are the most active teams in

1657
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:34,800
Speaker 15: all of this? Miami, Minnesota, Golden State, and New York

1658
01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:38,400
Speaker 15: have emerged as the most serious shooters for Yannis. Between

1659
01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:40,839
Speaker 15: now and the deadline and then if it potentially stretches

1660
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:43,320
Speaker 15: into the offseason. The big thing to Monor over the

1661
01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:45,720
Speaker 15: next three four days is will a team emerge that

1662
01:49:45,800 --> 01:49:48,840
Speaker 15: matches the price point that the Bucks have set. My

1663
01:49:48,960 --> 01:49:52,599
Speaker 15: indications are that they want a young talent, blue chip talent,

1664
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:55,479
Speaker 15: and or a surplus of draft picks. So does a

1665
01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:58,360
Speaker 15: team reach that mark and do the Bucks feel like,

1666
01:49:58,479 --> 01:50:02,080
Speaker 15: listen the risk reward doing a deal now by Thursday

1667
01:50:02,479 --> 01:50:04,519
Speaker 15: or is there some risk if you wait till the

1668
01:50:04,560 --> 01:50:07,120
Speaker 15: offseason when Yannis has just one year left on zeel

1669
01:50:07,120 --> 01:50:09,720
Speaker 15: So he's just sent you an expiring contract where he's

1670
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:11,479
Speaker 15: gonna be able to dictate a lot of his off

1671
01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:13,880
Speaker 15: season and where he wants to land.

1672
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:17,040
Speaker 1: And that limits the return that the Bucks could get

1673
01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 1: for him. If we're taking Sharani a face value that

1674
01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:23,120
Speaker 1: this is what the Bucks want. They want a young

1675
01:50:23,120 --> 01:50:26,000
Speaker 1: blue jet player to build around, and they also want

1676
01:50:26,040 --> 01:50:28,639
Speaker 1: a ton of draft picks. Then the teams that make

1677
01:50:28,680 --> 01:50:31,760
Speaker 1: the most sense are the Atlanta Hawks and their all

1678
01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:36,320
Speaker 1: star Jalen Johnson, who just happens to be from Wisconsin.

1679
01:50:37,920 --> 01:50:40,679
Speaker 1: They have a ton of draft capital. The Miami Heat

1680
01:50:41,240 --> 01:50:45,880
Speaker 1: would include another Wisconsin guy, Tyler hero and what I'm

1681
01:50:45,920 --> 01:50:48,519
Speaker 1: hearing from the Heat is they are willing to offer

1682
01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:53,920
Speaker 1: literally their entire team save for their best player, bam Adebayo,

1683
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:57,160
Speaker 1: who they would pair with Giannis, and they would give

1684
01:50:57,280 --> 01:51:01,280
Speaker 1: up every draft pick from now until Judgment Day. Pat

1685
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:04,519
Speaker 1: Riley is apparently so desperate to win now he's the

1686
01:51:04,560 --> 01:51:08,400
Speaker 1: team president of the Miami Heat, that the Bucks could

1687
01:51:08,400 --> 01:51:12,560
Speaker 1: get a king's ransom. The Golden State Warriors are offering

1688
01:51:12,960 --> 01:51:15,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler even though he's out with the what is it,

1689
01:51:15,960 --> 01:51:20,519
Speaker 1: torn Achilles, torn acl torn something, and they would be

1690
01:51:20,560 --> 01:51:27,600
Speaker 1: offering Brandon Podzimsky, another Wisconsin guy, potentially as the centerpiece

1691
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:29,479
Speaker 1: of that trade. They've got a lot of draft picks

1692
01:51:29,479 --> 01:51:33,599
Speaker 1: as well. The Houston Rockets could potentially be in there.

1693
01:51:33,640 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 1: I keep hearing the Chicago Bulls, for some reason, would

1694
01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:42,360
Speaker 1: want to give up their rebuild and try to trade

1695
01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:45,040
Speaker 1: Giannis and convince him to stay. I think the thinking

1696
01:51:45,160 --> 01:51:47,960
Speaker 1: would be, you're so close, you can keep your home

1697
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:50,280
Speaker 1: in the Milwaukee area and just get you know, like

1698
01:51:50,320 --> 01:51:55,080
Speaker 1: a luxury condo in downtown Chicago for the NBA season.

1699
01:51:55,160 --> 01:51:57,800
Speaker 1: Your kids could still go to the same school. You know,

1700
01:51:57,880 --> 01:51:59,960
Speaker 1: your brothers could still you could still see your brother

1701
01:52:00,160 --> 01:52:03,439
Speaker 1: and your mom all the time. I guess that would

1702
01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:07,240
Speaker 1: be their pitch. The bottom line, folks, is it's over.

1703
01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:12,000
Speaker 1: Just be prepared for some time before Thursday's trade deadline

1704
01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:15,920
Speaker 1: to see that Giannis is gone and Doc Rivers and

1705
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:17,000
Speaker 1: his terrible.

1706
01:52:16,720 --> 01:52:18,080
Speaker 4: Coaching some big reason.

1707
01:52:24,320 --> 01:52:26,040
Speaker 1: Just a couple of minutes left here on the Dan

1708
01:52:26,120 --> 01:52:31,280
Speaker 1: o'donald show, it is Groundhog Day. Did Milwaukee's groundhog see

1709
01:52:31,320 --> 01:52:37,280
Speaker 1: his shadow? Trick question? We don't have a freaking groundhog?

1710
01:52:38,320 --> 01:52:38,960
Speaker 4: Did you know this?

1711
01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:45,320
Speaker 1: The rhino at the Milwaukee County Zoo, an Eastern black

1712
01:52:45,400 --> 01:52:51,719
Speaker 1: rhino named Kiyanga, predicted cloudy skies and an early spring.

1713
01:52:51,840 --> 01:52:55,920
Speaker 1: Kianga did not see his shadow. We have not had

1714
01:52:55,960 --> 01:52:59,280
Speaker 1: a groundhog predict the weather at the Milwaukee Zoo since

1715
01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:03,840
Speaker 1: Gordy Groundhog died in twenty twenty three. By the way,

1716
01:53:03,920 --> 01:53:10,680
Speaker 1: the official groundhog predictor, Punks A Tawny phil in punk Satawny, Pennsylvania,

1717
01:53:12,640 --> 01:53:15,840
Speaker 1: did see his shadow six more weeks of winter, not

1718
01:53:15,920 --> 01:53:22,920
Speaker 1: in early spring. Last year. The Nigerian goats at the

1719
01:53:23,040 --> 01:53:24,280
Speaker 1: zoo picked the.

1720
01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:29,360
Speaker 4: Pick the weather twenty twenty four.

1721
01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:37,160
Speaker 1: Humble penguins, we seriously can't get a freaking groundhog in Milwaukee.

1722
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:41,800
Speaker 4: I'm kidding. I'm kidding. It's you know.

1723
01:53:41,840 --> 01:53:45,360
Speaker 1: They basically would keep the groundhog just for one day

1724
01:53:45,400 --> 01:53:48,760
Speaker 1: a year, kind of like punk Satawny Phil. It's not

1725
01:53:48,880 --> 01:53:51,600
Speaker 1: like groundhogs are rare and people are coming to the

1726
01:53:51,680 --> 01:53:53,320
Speaker 1: zoo to see a groundhog.

1727
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:54,680
Speaker 4: I get it.

1728
01:53:54,800 --> 01:53:59,080
Speaker 1: That said, because they are common, though, don't we want

1729
01:53:59,080 --> 01:54:04,679
Speaker 1: to have at the zoo like a local I don't know, flare.

1730
01:54:05,720 --> 01:54:10,320
Speaker 1: Then again, the zoo doesn't have like chipmunks, squirrels.

1731
01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:11,599
Speaker 4: They're everywhere.

1732
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:15,080
Speaker 1: So I get it. I do get it. I do

1733
01:54:15,200 --> 01:54:18,639
Speaker 1: have to tell the story, as I do every year.

1734
01:54:20,200 --> 01:54:23,600
Speaker 1: I have a friend I am not going to identify him,

1735
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:27,920
Speaker 1: but one year, he was well into his thirties and

1736
01:54:27,960 --> 01:54:31,840
Speaker 1: it was a groundhog day, and the groundhog predicted six

1737
01:54:31,920 --> 01:54:35,120
Speaker 1: more weeks of winter or whatever. He goes to his wife,

1738
01:54:35,400 --> 01:54:39,879
Speaker 1: dead serious. He goes, yeah, how does the groundhog predict

1739
01:54:39,880 --> 01:54:40,760
Speaker 1: the weather like that?

1740
01:54:40,920 --> 01:54:44,720
Speaker 4: How does it know? And his wife goes to like,

1741
01:54:45,120 --> 01:54:46,640
Speaker 4: what what do you mean?

1742
01:54:46,720 --> 01:54:50,320
Speaker 1: How does it know? He goes, how does it predict

1743
01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:54,520
Speaker 1: the weather? She says, are you joking me? You're a

1744
01:54:54,560 --> 01:54:58,200
Speaker 1: grown man. It's just a silly tradition. The groundhog doesn't

1745
01:54:58,240 --> 01:55:00,640
Speaker 1: know what the weather is. It's like it's like an

1746
01:55:00,640 --> 01:55:03,160
Speaker 1: old wives tale. It's like it's like the farmer's almanac.

1747
01:55:03,200 --> 01:55:03,520
Speaker 4: He says.

1748
01:55:04,320 --> 01:55:09,080
Speaker 1: Oh man I, I thought the groundhog could actually predict

1749
01:55:09,120 --> 01:55:15,360
Speaker 1: the future. To this day, to this day, cannot believe

1750
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:19,960
Speaker 1: the man she married, the father of her children, shot

1751
01:55:20,680 --> 01:55:25,520
Speaker 1: the groundhog, actually did predict the weather for the next

1752
01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:28,920
Speaker 1: six weeks on Groundhog Day.

1753
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:31,400
Speaker 4: Go figure.

1754
01:55:33,520 --> 01:55:36,800
Speaker 1: All right, we have got a big show coming up tomorrow.

1755
01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:41,320
Speaker 1: Stay warm and stay tuned, because we'll be back three

1756
01:55:41,440 --> 01:55:45,120
Speaker 1: oh six pm Tuesday with another edition of The dan

1757
01:55:45,200 --> 01:55:46,360
Speaker 1: Oh Dumb Show.
