1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: At long last, our national nightmare is over. The United

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: States will soon have Greenland. Welcome to the Dan O'Donnell show.

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: Coming up in Wisconsin, It's going to feel a whole

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: lot like Greenland. An extreme cold watch just issued and

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: we will be under an extreme cold warning starting at

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: midnight tomorrow night. Milwaukee Public School says it's debating whether

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: or not to close down on Friday. Give me a break,

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: a chance at back to back three day weekends. Zero

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: chance that any schools are open on Friday. Look, kids,

10
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: I know you're going home from school right now and

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: your parents are forcing you to listen to that boring

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: talk radio guy instead of listening to Playboy Carti and

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift on Spotify.

14
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 2: I feel you. I feel you.

15
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: If you are on school, if classes are in session

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: on Friday, you can personally kick.

17
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: Me in the shins.

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: I will stake my professional reputation with kids on the

19
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: fact that nobody is going to be in school on Friday.

20
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: Wind chills at forty below, there is just zero chance

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: it's not safe. With that, let's get to the biggest

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: stories we're following this afternoon. It is, in fact the

23
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: cold in Wisconsin. But to our south, the potential for

24
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: massive winter storms as far south as South Carolina. Now

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: the forecast is incredibly volatile. Not here up north, we

26
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: know exactly what we're getting, but the earlier forecasts of

27
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: a foot plus of snow in Nashville, Tennessee probably overblown.

28
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: That said, watch the skies over the weekend, and watch

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: the trees. The big meme today is that trees could

30
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: explode because it's going to be so cold in the

31
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,919
Speaker 1: upper Midwest. As I said, President Trump announced the framework

32
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: of a deal to acquire Greenland this after a meeting

33
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: on the sidelines of the summit in Davos of World

34
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Economic Forum leaders with the Secretary General of NATO. We'll

35
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: have all the details and why exactly Denmark is so

36
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: resistant to giving up Greenland, and why it is so

37
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: strategically important, not just for missile defense, but really for

38
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 1: all American defense and self interest economic interests as well.

39
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: Why Trump wanted it so badly.

40
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: We're going to spend some significant time on that coming

41
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: up this hour, coming up in the four o'clock hour.

42
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: President Trump did give a barnburner of a speech in

43
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: Davos this morning. In the afternoon in Switzerland, talking to

44
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: World Economic Forum leaders about the need for American sovereignty

45
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: and an America led world. He also blasted the far

46
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: left policies that brought Europe a world of pain.

47
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: Especially tied to mass migration.

48
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: We'll get into that, plus a Wisconsin congressman who is

49
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: openly calling for local law enforcement to violate the constitution

50
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: and stop ice should they come to this state from Minnesota.

51
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: Then in the five o'clock hour, it is a major

52
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: exclusive story and I mean major, potentially major fundraising issues

53
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: here in Wisconsin that could cost the Republican Party the

54
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: governorship as well as the state legislature. If you care

55
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: about the future of this state, you are not going

56
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: to want to miss this story. It is coming up

57
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: at five oh six right here on the Dan o'donald's show.

58
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: Right now.

59
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: It is time to get you one thousand bucks. And

60
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: the word of this hour in the cold hard cash

61
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: contest is not in front of me because I have

62
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: two producers in the producer's room, and both of them

63
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: are incredibly incompetent. Turns out, Produce Sir Arman and I

64
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: talking about Jenko jeans in the nineteen nineties and it's knockoff.

65
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Lee pipes instead of doing what we should have been

66
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: doing to get ready for the show. Was a big mistake.

67
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm not making that up. By the way, Armand and

68
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: I had a lot of fun talking about how his

69
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: mom would not get him Jenko's back in nineteen ninety

70
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: five when.

71
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: They were all the rage kids.

72
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: If you don't know what Jenko jeans are, look them

73
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: up and prepare to be amazed and make fun of

74
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: your parents for their fashion choices Thirty years ago. I

75
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: can't remember if I had a pair of Jenko's. I'm

76
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: actually wearing DC skate shoes right now. If you can

77
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: believe that, you talk about a blast from the past. Yes,

78
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: I was a little quasi punk rocker back in high school.

79
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: Producer Armin, can you get me those words we do need? Well,

80
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: just tell me what the word is. Don't you have

81
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: a list of them in front of you. You don't

82
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: know where the list is. It's back by the sad

83
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: little Charlie Bowen Christmas Tree, isn't it.

84
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: No?

85
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: They took the list all right? You know what?

86
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: Should we do this as a test of how good

87
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: our listeners are. We have listeners who listen so often

88
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,799
Speaker 1: for the words of the hour that they could actually

89
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: predict what words are going to be days in advance,

90
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: because they know we've only got a small handful of

91
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: green gold. What are some of the money cash? Check, credit.

92
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 4: Bank?

93
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: Someone texts, someone call army? How is the list of

94
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: words gone? Seriously? Is it seriously gone? In there?

95
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: I don't think.

96
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever seen that. Who the hell

97
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: took the list? Did Jay Weber steal it when he retired?

98
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: He just walked out the door with the list. Ah,

99
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna now that I'm no longer at Higheart Radio employee,

100
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just dominate this contest by making sure nobody

101
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: else can win.

Speaker 1: That we have no idea what the word is, and

106
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: we have no idea. We have this giant list of

107
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: words that's usually in the producer's room, and they'll give

108
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: me three sheets of paper that I'll read off of.

109

00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: O'Donnell Show podcast. All right, I am looking at our

126
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: YouTube chat. We seem to think it's dollar. All right,

127
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: We've got a number of people calling it. Producer Armit Arman,

128
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: answer the phone. See if people are right, See what

129
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: they're telling you? What have they figured it out? After

130
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: a week and a half of us playing this contest?

131
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: What the next word is going to be?

132
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: All right? Dollar? All right? Well tell me if dollar works.

133
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: D O L L A R.

134
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: We're flying blind here, folks. I know I don't want

135
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: to steer us directly into the side of a mountain.

136
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: People are telling you different words. Dollar apparently works go

137
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: to our website, enter the keyword dollar or potentially something else,

138
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: and if your entry is picked at random, if you

139
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: happen to get the word right, let us know what

140
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: word it is. Just keep plugging away. You don't get

141
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: punished if you don't have the right word. So if

142
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: you enter gold and it doesn't work, it'll just say, Okay,

143
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: you're wrong. Then you can try cash, then you can

144
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: try credit, then you can try bank, then you can

145
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: try check.

146
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: But I'm told it's dollar. Dollar works, all right.

147
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: YouTube chat says dollar works, So if it doesn't and

148
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: you have to type in a different word, you can

149
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: blame j gg grinder on YouTube or he's a jig grinder.

150
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, jig grinder. He's a very very loyal listener.

151
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: He actually always loyal viewer. He actually always waves high

152
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: in a moji form right when the show starts. Let

153
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: me know that I'm watching to appreciate it. And you

154
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: can also blame JK. Badger fan and also Robert Wells

155
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: four to six fifty one. And in case you're wondering

156
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: what Robert Wells's birthday is, I'm guessing it's April sixth

157
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: of nineteen fifty one.

158
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: Guys, thank you.

159
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: We think it's dollar dllar. This is why I say

160
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: I have got the very best listeners in the talk

161
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: radio game. So after the President's speech at the World

162
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: Economic Forum in Dollar, Hey Hi, the American Joe Show

163
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: saying hi. We always love when people check in, Yeah,

164
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: check check it out the YouTube channel. I gotta say,

165
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: I have got to spend some money and really get

166
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: the YouTube channel where we primarily stream. We stream on

167
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: all channels, but X. It just we do much much

168
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: better on X than ever. We'll have like twenty five

169
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: people watching on YouTube, like fifteen on Facebook and three

170
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: thousand on X. It's actually kind of remarkable. I think

171
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: you need to actually spend some money to get you know,

172
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: your stuff out there. All right, enough of that, we

173
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: strive for broadcast confidence. We didn't quite get it in

174
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: the first ten minutes of the Wednesday edition of the

175
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show. We'll get there, arman. You are freaking

176
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: out about this way more than you should. This is

177
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: fantastic radio right here. Oh we got the list It

178
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: was in the Okay, why you gotta be kidding me?

179
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 2: Okay.

180
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: So we had a sports station a few months ago

181
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: and we always used to joke about how the sports

182
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: station was like horning in on our stuff. We love

183
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: we loved ninety seven three, We love the guy, you know,

184
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: Zaben and all those guys. But we always used to

185
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: tease how they were kind of screwing with us over

186
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: at WYS and they got all the love, they got

187
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: all the attention. We were just fighting for scratch. We

188
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: were like the bastard step child.

189
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: Right.

190
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: The station has been gone for.

191
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: Months and somehow they've still got programming over on nine.

192
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: By the way, Arman and Doug Russell, who is Oh

193
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: my god, it was Dollar YouTube, folks, you are fantastic.

194
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: It was Dollar They now broadcast on nine twenty.

195
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: That's that's actually where we Starty, it's Fox Sports Radio

196
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: or Fox Sports nine twenty. I believe we're calling it's

197
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: no longer the Big nine twenty, right, it's Fox Sports

198
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: nine twenty. So the folks that obviously corporate thought were

199
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: valuable employees of the sports station, they wanted it to

200
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: go and we're hopefully going to be able to expand

201
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: local programming on Fox Sports nine twenty. But producer Arman

202
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: works on the Drew Olsays, Drew and Billy Schmid, who's

203
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: a very very talented young broadcaster. I'm going to have

204
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: a very serious conversation with upper management saying, are you

205
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: sure Arman and Doug are the guys you.

206
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: Want to keep. They couldn't even find the stupid word

207
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: of this out and it's in the nine twenty.

208
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, you idiots stole our word list.

209
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: We don't even have a full sports station anymore. In

210
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: the sports station still screwing with me, can't I can't

211
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: do all right, I promise we will get too actual

212
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: content on the of all this stuff, of all the

213
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: stuff that is going do you realize right before Christmas,

214
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: about a month ago or so, we actually had a

215
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: catastrophic failure of pretty much everything at this radio station

216
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: where I could not go off the I couldn't even

217
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: toss to commercial. I'd actually call my wife and daughter

218
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: live on the air to tell them that I wasn't

219
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: going to make Little Gracie's final elementary school Christmas orchestra

220
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: performance because we couldn't. We couldn't even play the commercials Now,

221
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: we can't even do the contest, all right, I'm trying

222
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: to think we have wasted so much time on this

223
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: that President Trump. All right, So to set this up,

224
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: President Trump has said for the better part of three

225
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: months now pretty consistently that the United States has a

226
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: strategic missile defense and rare earth minerals interest in Denmark. Now,

227
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: Denmark has had a strategic alliance with the United Sarah,

228
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: excuse me, in Greenland. Greenland is owned by the Kingdom

229
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: of Denmark. Denmark has had since nineteen fifty one a

230
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: treaty with the United States in which the United States

231
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: can pretty much do anything at once with respect to Greenland,

232
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: but it needs Denmark's permission, and it needs essentially the

233
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: permission of the rest of the NATO allies. President Trump

234
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 1: took a look at this, took a look at the

235
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: threats posed by China and Russia, and said, this isn't

236
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: going to work. And one of the biggest reasons for

237
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: that was actually made a parent at least it should

238
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: have been made apparent to the rest of the world

239
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: over the past three weeks, when a couple of days

240
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: after New Year's Day, President Trump ordered a targeted strike

241
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: on Venezuela to get President Nicholas Maduro. Now, you might

242
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: be saying, Dad, Dan, it's a completely different hemisphere here.

243
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: How exactly does Venezuela have anything to do with Greenland.

244
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: Take a look at Greenland on a map. First of all,

245
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: it's not nearly as big as you would think it is.

246
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: Do you know why Greenland appears to be absolutely massive?

247
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: So too does Russia. Russia is a very, very big country,

248
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: but it's not nearly as big. Greenland is not twice

249
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: the size of the continental United States. Anybody know Producer Armin?

250
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: Do you know, Producer Doug? Do you know why Greenland

251
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: appears to be so big?

252
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: That's right?

253
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: The Mercator projection. Those of you who ever took ap

254
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: hug human geography or just regular old geography social studies

255
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: in school, you know that it's the projection of how

256
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: it looks on a globe. We don't exist on a

257
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: flat map, sorry all you flat earthers who are still

258
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: out there looking for the giant ice wall.

259
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: We exist in globe form. Well.

260
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: To have an accurate representation of how things would look,

261
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: the Mercater projection puts the globe on a flat space

262
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: to get everything aligned with latitude and longitude lines. Greenland,

263
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: although it's not nearly as big as people think it is,

264
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: and there actually was a pretty funny joke that President

265
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: Trump wants Greenland because he believes the mercater projection. He

266
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: believes Greenland is this massive chunk of ice that just

267
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: dwarfs Africa in physical size. That's not true at all.

268
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: Take a look at where it sits on a map.

269
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: Greenland is exactly between if you go over the northern

270
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: part part of the globe, it sits directly between Russia

271
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: and Washington DC, China and Washington d C. How did

272
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: President Trump's strike force get Nicholas Maduro so easily, as

273
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: he actually confirmed today, they used sonic weapons in order

274
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: to completely disable the palace guards as it were, before

275
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: they even took a shot. But how did they get

276
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: so close that they were able to sew quickly and

277
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: so effectively with a relatively small group of commandos to

278
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: get to the Presidential Palace of Venezuela with the very

279
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: best Russian, maid and Chinese made missile defense systems because

280
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: we shut them down. We were able to do that

281
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: because we have key strategic positions between the United States

282
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: and Venezuela on various islands, and basically we are able

283
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: to get as close as possible without them able to

284
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: detect us, and we're able to essentially scramble the ability

285
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: of a foreign government like Venezuela to activate their missile

286
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: defense and their air defense systems. Russia exists way too

287
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: far away for us to be able to do that

288
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: same thing with China, unless, of course, we have this

289
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: giant block of ice that, oh, by the way, just

290
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: happens to be rich in the same rare earth minerals

291
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: that China is currently trying to hold a global monopoly

292
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: on the manufacture of. If we can, byplant pass the

293
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: Chinese monopoly on rare earth minerals by mining our own

294
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: in the newly acquired territory of Greenland, while also having

295
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: quite possibly the most important strategic missile and air defense

296
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: or offensive launch site in the Northern Hemisphere, and by god,

297
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: we need it, President Trump today, during his speech before

298
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: this deal, or at least this framework of the deal

299
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: was announced after a meeting with the Secretary General of

300
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: NATO on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum summit,

301
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: President Trump outlined in about four minutes exactly why Greenland

302
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: is so strategically important. When we come back, we will

303
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: get to the President's speech. I'm going to break it

304
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: down for you why the United States has such a

305
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: vested interest in Greenland. You're listening to Dano doc show

306
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: just opened up our text app, and folks, holy cow,

307
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 1: thank you. We must have had one hundred and fifty

308
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: people telling us that dollar in fact worked as the

309
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: text in Hour of the Day. Apparently Armand and I

310
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: were kind of goofing around before the show started, talking about.

311
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 2: Armand and I.

312
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: Arman, how long have we known each Other's got to

313
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: be close to twenty years, right at least, oh seven, yeah,

314
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven. I can remember when my oldest son,

315
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: who is now eighteen years old. Believe it or not,

316
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: I have an adult and we were at the other

317
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: radio station and Armand and I think everybody, oh my god,

318
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: Doug two, everybody here is a former wtmjy R. And

319
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: I was on the Greenhouse Radio show with the great

320
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: Jonathan Greene and Phil Cynciola and Bill Michaels and Armand

321
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: was the producer for a while. That's kind of how

322
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: I got to know Arman and love Armin. And I

323
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: brought my then two year old little baby, I think

324
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 1: he might have been three. He's now eighteen years old,

325
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: and he referred to to the producer's room as Armand's house.

326
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: He said, can we go to Armand's house? So there's

327
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: Armand's house. He apparently thought Armin just sort of lived there.

328
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: So Armand and I were talking about the nineteen nineties.

329
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: He grew up like right near me. He went to

330
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: Greenfield High School and I went to Whitnel. I'm maybe

331
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: what how old?

332
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 2: How much older?

333
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 3: Am I?

334
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 2: Six seven years older than you? Five or six years

335
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: older than you?

336
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: And so we were just laughing about just Jenko jeans

337
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: and ridiculous fads from the nineteen nineties, and I realized this,

338
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm giving out the word this out. I don't have

339
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: the word, and Armand never checked for the words. So

340
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: there is such a thing as it being a bad

341
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: thing that you work with your good friends, and I

342
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: think we sort of prove that.

343
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: But the word is dollar.

344
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: You do still have twenty five minutes to go to

345
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: our website. That's news tag eleven thirty dot com. If

346
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: you're listening to us in Milwaukee. If you're listening to

347
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: us in Madison, it's WIBA dot com. Enter the keyword dollar.

348
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: Your entry is picked at random. You know the drill

349
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: thousand bucks in your pocket. We will do better next hour,

350
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: primarily because we can't possibly do any worse at getting you.

351
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: That worth big news of international relations, and basically the

352
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: biggest news internationally that sparked a massive stock market rally

353
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: is President Trump announcing on the sidelines of the World

354
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that he has struck a deal,

355
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: or at least agreed on the framework of a deal

356
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: that gives the United States quote everything at once. It's

357
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: a direct quote from Trump. Now, I don't know if

358
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: this means that the US is purchasing Greenland outright, or

359
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: if it means that Denmark will retain sovereignty, but the

360
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: United States will essentially enter into an agreement where it

361
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: gets to do whatever it wants in terms of mining

362
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: rare earth minerals, in terms of dramatically expanding missile defense

363
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 1: systems or air or naval bases on the island without

364
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: needing to go to NATO or needing to go to Denmark.

365
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, and in fact, the details of that

366
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: deal have not yet been released. But what should be

367
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: noted again is what was it that President Trump was

368
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: able to do. Everybody's saying, oh, we're gonna invade Denmark,

369
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna invade Greenland, We're going to attack our NATO allies.

370
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: Of course, this was left wing fear mongering. What he

371
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 1: was able to do was leverage the fear that our

372
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: European allies have of increased tariffs on imports to the

373
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: United States, a fundamental rebalancing yet again of the trade

374
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: relationship between them and the world's largest consumer market.

375
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: I eat us.

376
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: It is remarkable what President Trump has been able to

377
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: do with the selective implementation and threat of tariffs. I

378
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: was talking with some good friends. In fact, another former

379
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: wtmj R. One of my very best friends, Jeff Falconio,

380
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: my very first partner shout out to Wisconsin Sports Weekend.

381
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: He was texting with my brother and a couple of

382
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: other mutual friends about what's known as the taco trade.

383
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: Not like Taco Tuesday, Trump always chickens out. The idea

384
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: is that Trump will talk tough and then chicken out.

385
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: That's not what happened at all. Europe chickened out. Europe

386
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: didn't want to see just how far Trump was going

387
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: to go. Trump was essentially saying, all right, you want

388
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: to get nuts, Let's get nuts, sort of like George

389
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: Costanza in an old episode of Seinfeld. Europe didn't want

390
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: to find out. And this is a valuable thing that

391
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: Trump has. It's that unpredictability and the willingness to wield

392
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: American economic power as not necessarily a weapon, but as

393
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: a form of gaining compliance with an American agenda. So

394
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 1: why is it that Greenland is so important? President Trump

395
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: explained in about a four minute section of his speech

396
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: to the business and world leaders in Davos this morning.

397
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: I want to play it for you.

398
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 1: I'm going to interrupt it to explain what it is

399
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: and why it is that what he's saying is so significant.

400
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 5: I have tremendous respect for both the people of Greenland

401
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 5: and the people of Denmark, tremendous respect. But every NATO

402
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 5: ally has an obligation to be able to defend their

403
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 5: own territory. And the fact is, no nation or a

404
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 5: group of nations is in any position to be able

405
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 5: to secure Greenland other than the United States.

406
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: This is correct. Denmark is an ocean away.

407
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 2: We are not.

408
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: We have the ability, through our military power and our

409
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: geographic proximity to the island, to be able to completely

410
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: secure it.

411
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 5: We're great power, much greater than people even understand. I

412
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 5: think they found that out two weeks ago, and Venezuela

413
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 5: sure as hell did. We saw this in World War

414
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 5: Two when Denmark fell to Germany after just six hours

415
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 5: of fighting and was totally unable to defend either itself

416
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 5: or Greenland.

417
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 4: So the United States was then compelled. We did it.

418
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 4: We felt an obligation to do it, to send our.

419
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 5: Own forces to hold the Greenland territory and hold it

420
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 5: we did at great costs and expense. They didn't have

421
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 5: a chance of getting on it, and they tried.

422
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: Once again, because it was such an onerous task to

423
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: send so many forces to such a hostile territory. Not

424
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: hostile in terms of enemy forces, but just the climate

425
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 1: of Greenland is almost inhospitable. It's almost uninhabitable. For goodness sakes, now,

426
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: the United States. What he sang Germany was unable to hold,

427
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: the United States was very easily. Because we could replenish

428
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: supply lines and troops who were tired and needed to

429
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: be taken off the field of battle such as it was,

430
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: we were much better equipped to be able to capture

431
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: and hold Greenland.

432
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 4: Denmark knows that we.

433
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 5: Literally set up bases on Greenland for Denmark. We fought

434
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 5: for Denmark. We weren't fighting for anyone else. We were

435
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 5: fighting to save it for Denmark, big beautiful piece of ice.

436
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 5: It's hard to call it land, it's a big piece

437
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 5: of ice. But we saved Greenland and successfully prevented our

438
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 5: enemies from gaining a foothold in our hemisphere. So we

439
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 5: did it for ourselves also. And then after the war,

440
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 5: which we won, we won it big without us. Right

441
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 5: now you'd all be speaking German and little Japanese, perhaps

442
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 5: also correct. After the war we gave Greenland beck to Denmark.

443
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 5: How stupid were.

444
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 2: We to do that?

445
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 5: But we did it. But we gave it back. But

446
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 5: how ungrateful are they now? So now our country and

447
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 5: the world face much greater risks than it did ever

448
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 5: before because of missiles, because of nuclear because of weapons

449
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 5: of warfare that I can't even talk about.

450
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: Okay, this is the critical point. Back in the days

451
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: of World War two and really before, at any point

452
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 1: before this current moment, I don't think people quite understand

453
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:50,239
Speaker 1: how advanced missile systems and missile defense systems are to

454
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: the point where regimes can be toppled wars can be

455
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: won without a single occupying troop. It happened in Venezuela,

456
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: and Venezuela supposedly had the very best missile and air

457
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: defense systems that non American money could buy. They fell,

458
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 1: they failed instantly, We shut them off. What Trump is

459
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: talking about is the strategic position of Greenland as a

460
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: defensive point, but also as essentially a monitoring point, at

461
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: a point at which we can launch whatever technology it

462
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: is that we have that was so easily able to

463
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: shut down Venezuela's supposedly top notch air defense systems. That's

464
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: primarily what this is all about, and what Trump is

465
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: saying is we cannot do this with a potentially hostile

466
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: or a potentially nagging power that controls Greenland in Denmark

467
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: if all of a sudden you get a radical left

468
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: wing government in Denmark. And right now, Denmark is in

469
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: an election cycle, and before Trump started talking about Greenland,

470
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: the far right party, the party that would be very

471
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: well aligned with President Trump and American interests, was leading.

472
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: And now the Democrat Socialists are really surging because the

473
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: Danes are understandably put off by President Trump's saber rattling

474
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: against them. But What he is saying is that this

475
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:38,479
Speaker 1: is quite possibly the strategic bulwark against Russian and Chinese influence.

476
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 1: Remember we're not talking about Russia and China alone in

477
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: a vacuum Iran two. We are talking about a potentially

478
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: global stability threatening alliance of some of the worst actors

479
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: on planet Earth. What he is saying is Greenland is

480
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: the key to showing Russia and China, Hey, we're here,

481
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: we have got our sites set on you, and anytime

482
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: that we damn well, please, we can shut down your

483
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: air defense systems, just like we did the air systems

484
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: air defense systems that you provided Venezuela, and we can

485
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: take you out just like we did. Nicholas Maduro Trump

486
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: goes on.

487
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 5: Two weeks ago, there were weapons that nobody ever heard of.

488
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 5: They weren't able to fire one shot at us. They said,

489
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 5: what happened? Everything was discombobulated. They said, we've got them

490
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 5: in our sites. Press the trigger and nothing happened. No

491
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 5: anti aircraft missiles went up. There was one that went

492
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 5: up about thirty feet and crashed down right next to

493
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 5: the people that sent it. They said, what the hell

494
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 5: is going on?

495
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I just said. What do you think

496
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: we could do with something that relatively close to Russia?

497
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: You want to end the war in Ukraine, give us

498
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: Greenland without saying it. That's what Trump is saying.

499
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 5: Those defensive systems were made by Russia and by China.

500
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 5: So they're going to go back to the drawing boards.

501
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 5: I guess Greenland is a vast, almost entirely uninhabited and

502
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 5: undeveloped territory sitting undefended in a key strategic location between

503
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 5: the United States, Russia, and China. That's exactly where it

504
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 5: is right smack in the middle. Wasn't important nearly when

505
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 5: we gave it back, you know, when we gave it back,

506
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 5: wasn't the same as it is now. It's not important

507
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 5: for any other reason. You know, everyone talks about the manuals.

508
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 5: There's so many places, there's so rare earth. No such

509
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 5: thing as rare earths, rare processing.

510
00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: That's actually correct. The minerals that we're talking about everywhere.

511
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: It's just very very difficult and very very expensive to

512
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: bring him out of the ground. But he does talk about, Hey,

513
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: since nothing else happens to be going on in Greenland,

514
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: what if we were to mine all of Greenland's rare

515
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: earth mineral.

516
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 5: There's so much rare earth then this. To get to

517
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 5: this rare earth, you had to go through hundreds of

518
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 5: feet of ice. That's not the reason we need it.

519
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 5: We need it for strategic national security and international security.

520
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 5: This enormous, unsecured island is actually part of North America,

521
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 5: on the northern frontier of the Western Hemisphere.

522
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 4: That's our territory.

523
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 5: It is therefore a core national security interest of the

524
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 5: United States of America.

525
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 4: And the fact it's been.

526
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 5: Our policy for hundreds of years to prevent outside threats

527
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 5: from entering our hemisphere, and we've done it very successfully.

528
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 5: We've never been stronger than we are now. That's why

529
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 5: American presidents have sought to purchase Greenland for nearly two centuries.

530
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: What he's talking about is the Monroe Doctrine updated for

531
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: the I don't even want to call it the missile

532
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: age for the hypersonic hyper Advanced Missile and Air Attack

533
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: System era. Folks, what we saw I don't think I

534
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: can stress enough that what we saw in Venezuela nearly

535
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: three weeks ago fundamentally changed the game. It fundamentally changed

536
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: how wars are going to be fought. We can do

537
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: that to Nicholas Maduro. We can do that to Shijinping.

538
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: We can do that to Vladimir Putin. We just need

539
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: the strategic launch points to do it. This is why

540
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: what President Trump is talking about is being called the

541
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: Don Rod Doctrine. I actually love that name because it

542
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: seems as though, is it Trump is the first world

543
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: leader who understands the ins and outs of power, how

544
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: to wheeld it, how to protect it, and how to

545
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: project it across the globe. You're listening to the Dan

546
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: o'donald show. Back in just a second. Coming up in

547
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: the four o'clock hour, Wisconsin congressman is calling for state

548
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: and local law enforcement officers to quote protect us from

549
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: ice if federal immigration enforcement surges come to Wisconsin, proving

550
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: that he knows absolutely nothing about federalism or the constitution.

551
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in the four o'clock hour and

552
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: the five o'clock hour. Would I consider to be a big,

553
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: big story as we are now fully in a political cycle,

554
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,879
Speaker 1: a big gubernatorial election cycle that could be very very

555
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: difficult for Republicans to win.

556
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 2: You're not going to want to miss this. It is

557
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: coming up.

558
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: Right after the five o'clock news Right now, though, it's

559
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: time to name the unhinged liberal of the.

560
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: Nazi Germany. Puff is dangerous because he's evil.

561
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 3: America.

562
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: Today's unhinged liberal of the day is Sunny Austin, one

563
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: of the co hosts of The View, not on the View,

564
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 1: but on a podcast, talking about why she opposes voter ID.

565
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: There has been a big push in recent weeks to

566
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 1: pass the Federal Save Act, which would mandate voter ID

567
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:51,360
Speaker 1: in all fifty states. She says she opposes it because

568
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: black people and women just can't get IDs.

569
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 6: It's sort of a vessige of I think post slavery

570
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 6: law where black people had to prove their right to

571
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 6: vote and oftentimes they couldn't vote because they couldn't pass

572
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 6: some crazy tests but they didn't have the appropriate ID.

573
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: It also affects women, women that are married.

574
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 6: Maybe your passport reflects something that's different on your birth

575
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 6: certificate or on your driver's license. So really the bottom

576
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 6: line is voter suppression.

577
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: No, what she was talking about is poll taxes, not

578
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: some crazy ID requirement. And oh, by the way, you

579
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: know who is implementing poll taxes for newly freed slaves

580
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: and black voters throughout the Reconstruction South.

581
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: It was Democrats, it was her political party.

582
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: The idea, somehow, that a photo ID is an onerous

583
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,479
Speaker 1: restriction that's akin to a poll tax, is in fact,

584
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: one of the most racist things that I've ever heard,

585
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: because it presupposes that it's somehow more difficult for black

586
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: people to get a photo ID, whether it's a driver's

587
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,280
Speaker 1: license or or a passport or anything else.

588
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 2: And for women.

589
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: The idea, somehow that women aren't changing or are capable

590
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: of changing their last names on their government issued IDs

591
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: after they get married is ludicrous. Sunny Austin, your unhinged

592
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: liberal of the day. It never ceases to amaze me

593
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: how many left wing arguments, not just on voter ID

594
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: but also on illegal immigration, essentially come down to the

595
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: super racist presupposition that the only good thing immigrants are

596
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: here for is to do menial tasks that Americans simply

597
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: won't do because we're so much better than, or so

598
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: far socioeconomically above the people who are coming to this

599
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,959
Speaker 1: country that we need to import a permanent underclass. President Trump,

600
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: as part of his phenomenal speech today in Davos, talked

601
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: about that and talked about mass migration, and just what

602
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: a number it has done on so many European countries

603
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: and the United States, and why it is so necessary

604
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:14,959
Speaker 1: that it's undone. It's not just about fundamentally altering geopolitics

605
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 1: or economies in various regions or individual countries. It's also

606
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: about altering culture. It's also about exactly what we're seeing

607
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. Remember what actually brought that immigration surge to Minnesota.

608
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: It was widespread, massive fraud committed almost exclusively by Somali migrants.

609
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: All of that coming up in the four o'clock hour

610
00:38:37,600 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: when the Dan O'Donnells show returns. Stay tuned. So the

611
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 1: joke on social media all day has been it's cold out.

612
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: How cold is it? It's so cold the freaking trees

613
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: are gonna explode. I don't even know how this started.

614
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 1: It is going to be incredibly cold on Friday. There

615
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: is an extreme cold watch that's in effect now until

616
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon. An extreme cold warning goes into effect tomorrow

617
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: night at midnight and is going to last pretty much

618
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: through the end of the day. Again, I would be

619
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: very shocked if any schools are in session on Friday.

620
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: I know we're getting to the end of semesters for

621
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: a whole lot of school districts for middle and high

622
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: school students and elementary school kids across our listening area.

623
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 2: It's just not safe.

624
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: And we were talking producer Doug and producer Armand and

625
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: I before the show, and we should have been making

626
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 1: sure that the three of word in the cold hard

627
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: cash contest was in. We had a very funny snaff

628
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: who with that. Don't worry. The four o'clock word is here.

629
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: It is in my formerly nicotine stained fingers. Would you

630
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: believe we are coming up on the five year anniversary

631
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 1: of Rush Limbaugh's passing. I still can't believe he's been

632
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: going for five years. I actually ran into loyal listener

633
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: at my gym, if you can believe that. The listener's

634
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: name was Jim, and he said he started listening to

635
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: WYSN in nineteen ninety when Rush Limbaugh and Mark Belling

636
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 1: were brand new, and he said he just he loved

637
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 1: the show. And I said, look, you know, Rush, Rush

638
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: was really my broadcast hero, and it it I usually

639
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 1: don't get invested in celebrities. The only guy I've ever

640
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 1: really been starstruck around when I met him and interviewed

641
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: him was Dennis Miller, because I just thought Dennis was

642
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 1: the smartest, funniest comedian I had ever seen. And they

643
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: say meet your heroes. Dennis was nicer, kinder, more accommodated,

644
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 1: and Astuley told me I was funny.

645
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 2: I loved it. I absolutely loved it.

646
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 1: But Rush Limbaugh is the guy. Really, I just wish

647
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: I could have met. I wish I could have just

648
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: sat down, interviewed him, picked his brain about broadcasting and

649
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: about life. But in any event, in any event, Rip Rush.

650
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: I believe it was February seventeenth he passed away. I'll

651
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: never forget. I was on vacation with my family in

652
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: Florida and we were on a hike at a nature preserve.

653
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: It was February seventeenth. See, I know my Rush Limbaugh trivia.

654
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 1: It was February seventeenth, and my mother in law actually

655
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: texted and said that Rush passed away. That word had

656
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: leaked out in advance of his show starting, And then

657
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: of course his widow, Catherine came on and announced the

658
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: news on The Rush Limbaugh Show.

659
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 2: And that's just sad, sad day.

660
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: I remember on Newsmax probably for the next two and

661
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 1: a half three hours just talking. They wanted some talk

662
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: radio guy, any talk radio guy. I had written an

663
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 1: essay about Rush Limbaugh and what he meant to me.

664
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: My grandfather first started listening to Rush Limbaugh as soon

665
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: as he went national in nineteen eighty eight. And then,

666
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, I told this story about my oldest son

667
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: and I listening to Rush's story of the first Thanksgiving

668
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 1: and just how my son was ten eleven years old

669
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: and we were going to get a new Christmas tree,

670
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: a fake Christmas tree from Steins, and he said, no, Dad, Dad,

671
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: let's stay in the car.

672
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: I want to finish this.

673
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: He was so captivated by that that that's the power

674
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: of radio. That was that was the power of Rush Limbaugh.

675
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: Kind of apropos of nothing but suffice it to say,

676
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: it is going to be insanely cold on Friday, and

677
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: producer Armin and Doug and I were talking about before

678
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: the show started how schools have just gotten so sissified

679
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: when it comes to snow days. This is one where

680
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: I will not blame a singlety. You cannot have kids

681
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: standing outside waiting for a bus when the wind chill

682
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: is forty below that. That is life threateningly cold in

683
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: a matter of five to ten minutes, and you can

684
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 1: get frostbite in a matter of a minute or two.

685
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: I think that the number is when it's that cold,

686
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: you can get frostbite in something like ninety seconds, if

687
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: not quicker. It's just you cannot have little kids standing

688
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: outside like that. So it would be shocking if you

689
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 1: and in fact, it would not be shocking to see

690
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: like Milwaukee Public Schools, Madison Metropolitan School Districts, some of

691
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 1: the big ones actually today or maybe tomorrow at some

692
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: point just announced that Friday they're not going to hold classes.

693
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: And I would be shocked if a whole lot of

694
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, things for grown ups don't shut down as

695
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: well because of the extreme cold. It's just folks, when

696
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: it gets the windshell gets that cold, it's just not

697
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,720
Speaker 1: safe at all to be outside.

698
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 2: All right.

699
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Dan o'donald Show four o'clock Word

Speaker 2: Money. Time now for your daily Trump Day.

706
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 5: We're gonna win so much, you may even get tired

707
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 5: of winning.

708
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,799
Speaker 2: Trump just keeps waiting. It is a win for the administration.

709
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 6: It's also a big win for the United States.

710
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 2: We have to keep winning. We have to win more.

711
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 2: We're gonna win more.

712
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: Breaking news about President Trump's agreement to purchase small parcels

713
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: of land in Greenland. It does appear that the Danish

714
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: government has agreed to sell small targeted parcels of Greenland

715
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: to the United States, where the United States would have

716
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 1: and complete autonomy, presumably to put up missile defense systems,

717
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 1: to put up air and or naval bases, and to

718
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: mind for rare earth minerals, if that in fact is

719
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: what it is the Trump administration wants to do. What

720
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: this did is present the framework of an agreement and

721
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: head off planned massive tariffs on European Union allies that

722
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:26,439
Speaker 1: had spooked stock markets for the better part of this week. Well,

723
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: the market took off as soon as that framework was

724
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: announced by President Trump and the Secretary General of the

725
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: United Nations. Now the deal comes on the heels of

726
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: President Trump's speech to the World Economic Forum, in which

727
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:46,239
Speaker 1: he touted his administration's economic successes in the first year

728
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: of his second term.

729
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 5: Over the past three months, core inflation has been just

730
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 5: one point six percent. Meanwhile, fourth quarter growth is projected

731
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 5: to be five point four percent, far great than anybody other.

732
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 4: Than myself and a few others had predicted.

733
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 5: Since the election, the stock market has set fifty two

734
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 5: all time high records, So that's in one year.

735
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 4: Fifty two records, adding.

736
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 5: Nine trillion dollars in value to retirement accounts four h

737
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:22,919
Speaker 5: one case and people's savings. People are doing very well.

738
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 5: They're very happy with me. Since my inauguration, we've lifted

739
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 5: more than one point two million people.

740
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 4: Off of food stamps.

741
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 5: And after four years in which Biden secured less than

742
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 5: one trillion dollars of new investment in our country, think

743
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 5: of that one trillion, substantially less than in four years.

744
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 5: We've secured commitments for a record break in eighteen trillion dollars,

745
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 5: and we think when the final numbers come out, they'll

746
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 5: be closer to twenty trillion dollars of investment. That's never

747
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 5: been done by any country at any time, not even close.

748
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 1: It definitely bears repeating that we are seeing a massive,

749
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: very very fast turnaround in America's economic fortunes. If we

750
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: have time, I want to revisit some of those successes,

751
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: because I don't think people quite understand just the massive,

752
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: wide ranging implications this has on the world stage.

753
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 5: Now.

754
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: The President did talk at length about the need for

755
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: American sovereignty, especially with respect to Greenland. He also talked

756
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: about the far left policies that have, in his words, decimated.

757
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 5: The consequences of such destructive policies have been stock, including

758
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 5: lower economic growth, lower standards of living, lower birth rates,

759
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 5: more socially disruptive migration, more vulnerability to hostile foreign adversaries,

760
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 5: and much smaller militaries.

761
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 1: The President said that's a shame because the United States

762
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 1: wants and needs strong European allies.

763
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 2: The world needs a strong Europe.

764
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 5: We believe deeply in the bonds we share with Europe

765
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 5: as a civilization.

766
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 4: I want to see it do great.

767
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 5: That's why issues like energy, trade, immigration, and economic growth

768
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 5: must be central concerns to anyone who wants to see

769
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 5: a strong and united West. Because Europe and those countries

770
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 5: have to do their thing. They have to get out

771
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 5: of the culture that they've created over the last ten years.

772
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 4: It's horrible what they're doing to themselves.

773
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 5: They're destroying themselves as beautiful, beautiful places. We want strong allies,

774
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 5: not seriously weakened ones.

775
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 4: We want Europe to be strong.

776
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 1: And what is weakening Europe more than anything else, as

777
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 1: the President said, it's massive influxes of people who by

778
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: and large are openly hostile to the values of the

779
00:48:54,880 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: countries that they're being allowed into. Europe is seeing migration

780
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: issues that almost dwarf those of the United States, primarily

781
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: because we are a very very large geographic place and

782
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: we have a massive population of probably about three hundred

783
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:12,959
Speaker 1: and thirty five to three hundred and forty million people.

784
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: The reality is nobody knows because of how many illegal

785
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: aliens have been in this country for decades and the

786
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: massive influx that we saw over the previous four years

787
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: under the Biden open borders policy. In Europe, though, where

788
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: you have got countries, some of which have populations the

789
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,320
Speaker 1: size of Wisconsin in fact, many of which, dude, you

790
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: know what the population of Ireland is? Do you know

791
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: what the population of Norway is? Would you believe that

792
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: Norway has a smaller population than Wisconsin. Wisconsin's at about

793
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: five point eight million, five point nine million. Norway's it's

794
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 1: something like five point two. It's kind of remarkable that

795
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: you hear about Norway. It's a beautiful place. By the way,

796
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: we just did that with cruise and tour on the

797
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell cruise this past Summer's a wonderful, wonderful place.

798
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:03,359
Speaker 1: The Nordic countries are unbelievably beautiful, but they're small. If

799
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: you import hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands

800
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: of people under the guise of or with the mistaken

801
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: belief of being charitable and welcoming refugees with open arms,

802
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: you run the risk of fundamentally altering what makes you

803
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: a unified, cohesive nation. When you think of Germany, when

804
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: you think of German culture, there is something that immediately

805
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: comes to mind. Leader hos In Polka's that sort of thing. Octoberfest,

806
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: Italian culture. Same thing English, French, Norwegian, Scandinavian culture, Swedish culture.

807
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: These are unique, distinct things. When you think of American culture,

808
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: despite leftists to believe somehow that America has no culture,

809
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: we in fact have a vibrant culture. We export our

810
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:02,800
Speaker 1: culture across the globe. America in films dominate Global box offices.

811
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:09,080
Speaker 1: American music is played in radio stations and clubs everywhere.

812
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: American television shows are adapted across the globe or translated

813
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: and played outright. America is the dominant cultural force. The

814
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: American language English is the dominant language. You want to

815
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: know why every single speech was delivered in English in Damos.

816
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: It's the language of business. But more than that, it

817
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: is the language that, more than anyone else, unites the world.

818
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 2: If you are bringing.

819
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: In people who have no interest in assimilating to the

820
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: dominant culture, and that's the biggest difference, that is what

821
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: sets apart migration right now as opposed to migration of

822
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: generations past. This still blows people's minds when I tell them.

823
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 1: Following the era of great European migration to the United

824
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: States that really ended with the final wave my family

825
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 1: Italian Sicilians coming in, Greeks coming in in the nineteen twenties,

826
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: Immigration was totally shut down so as to give the

827
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 1: recent arrivals time and generations of their offspring time to

828
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: assimilate into the dominant culture. I actually saw this. My

829
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: mother saw this with her grandparents, who I believe at

830
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: least one or two of them actually did come from Sicily.

831
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 3: But.

832
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: They abandoned their Italian and they kept Italian culture. It

833
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. I mean I still have to

834
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: this day remnants of Sicilian culture in how we celebrate holidays.

835
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 1: We make Italian Christmas cookies. It's a whole lot of annis,

836
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: which I'm the Italian Christmas cookies taste a whole lot

837
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: like black licorice, which I never really liked them, but

838
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 1: I've always like make it because it's a tradition.

839
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 2: It's tradition.

840
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: The food that my mother will serve at family gatherings

841
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 1: is Italian food. That's that's just it's always been part

842
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: of my life. My dad, the Irish side of my family.

843
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 1: On Saint Patrick's Day, we would have corned beef and cabbage.

844
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: My dad would play Irish music, Celtic music on his

845
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: old record player and that's what we would listen to

846
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 1: while he'd listened to his paper. He also got really

847
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: into Remember we were talking about the nineties in the

848
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: last hour. Do you guys remember producer Doug and producer Armin.

849
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember when for like six months everybody

850
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 1: was into Gregorian chant. There was that CD of Gregorian chant.

851
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 1: My father, I think single handedly kept the Gregorian chant

852
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: craze alive for like three years, longer than it should

853
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 1: have been allowed to stay alive. He would listen to

854
00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: opera and he would listen to Gregorian chants. And this

855
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: was before he'd have obviously air pods and you know,

856
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we did have the Sony Walkman, but he

857
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: had this like big boombox type.

858
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 2: System and he would open up.

859
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: He would sit on our back patio and sip wine,

860
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: eat peanuts and read the Milwaukee Journal. And he had

861
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: the two big speakers of his stereo system. I'll never

862
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: forget this out each bedroom window. So the entire we

863
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: would be playing like kickball in the backyard and you

864
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: would hear all.

865
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 2: Coming from the bedroom.

866
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: Window and we're like, I mean, it made kicking a

867
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: home run extra epic. But my goodness. My point being,

868
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:55,720
Speaker 1: nobody is saying abandon tradition, abandoned culture. But what every

869
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: generation of migrants up until right now was encouraged, if

870
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: not wired, to do, was to assimilate into the broader

871
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:08,439
Speaker 1: American or German or English or French culture. Now they're

872
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,840
Speaker 1: allowed to and in fact encourage to set up tiny

873
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: little enclaves where there is no dominant culture. There is only, say,

874
00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:26,320
Speaker 1: Somali culture in Minneapolis, there is only Syrian culture in Dearborn, Michigan.

875
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: It's a big problem. We are and we always say

876
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: e pluribus unhem from many one. That is a founding

877
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: principle of the United States. President Trump talked about he

878
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:45,879
Speaker 1: talked at length about the danger of mass migration when

879
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,839
Speaker 1: there is no broader cultural assimilation, like what's been going

880
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,280
Speaker 1: on in Europe for the past decade.

881
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 5: In recent decades, it became conventional wisdom in Washington and

882
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 5: European capital is.

883
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 4: That the only way to grow a modern way.

884
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 5: Western economy was through ever increasing government spending, unchecked mass migration,

885
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 5: and endless foreign imports. The consensus was that so called

886
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 5: dirty jobs and heavy industries should be sent elsewhere, that

887
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 5: affordable energy should be replaced by the green new scam,

888
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 5: and that countries could be propped up by importing new

889
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 5: and entirely different populations from far away lands. This was

890
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 5: the path that sleepy Joe Biden administration and many other

891
00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 5: Western governments.

892
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 4: Very foolishly followed, turning.

893
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 5: Their backs on everything that makes nations rich and powerful

894
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 5: and strong.

895
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,879
Speaker 1: And here's a key point that was sort of left

896
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: on set for many of those leaders. They don't believe,

897
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: especially in American strength, that the idea that America should

898
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: be strong, that America should be.

899
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 2: The lone global superpower.

900
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: From the days of the Cold War, the American left

901
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: was fundamentally uncomfortable with this idea, and so they either

902
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 1: clandestinely or openly rooted for the Soviet Union to be

903
00:57:08,360 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 1: a shared superpower because they did not believe that America

904
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:15,879
Speaker 1: is fundamentally a force for good. Well, now you have

905
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: this broader idea of multiculturalism, which is sort of been

906
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: really lifted into the stratosphere with the rise of abortion culture.

907
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: The idea that Western couples should not have as many

908
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: children and that in order to combat this population decline,

909
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,919
Speaker 1: and population decline is a massive issue for a whole

910
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: lot of countries Japan, China, Germany, Italy. They're facing older

911
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: populations and when you get to a tipping point where

912
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: you don't have as many young, healthy people in the

913
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: workforce to take care of retired people or people who

914
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: need a lot more medical care, a population time bomb. Well,

915
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: the idea became a let's encourage Western women in Italy

916
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: and Germany and especially in the United States, to abandon

917
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: the traditional role of And I'm not saying that women

918
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: need to go back to the kitchen, please don't misunderstand that,

919
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: but the idea that your fundamental biological purpose on this

920
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 1: planet is to propagate this species men and women that yes,

921
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 1: have a career, have a fulfilling social life, but also

922
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: have children. The message, primarily liberal couples have gotten is

923
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: that children will make your life exponentially worse. Producer Arman

924
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 1: actually was sort of late to the game in having

925
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: a daughter. How old is your daughter? She's two eighteen months.

926
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,959
Speaker 1: How much better has your life gotten since she's been born.

927
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: It's fantastic, right, She's your reason for living. You just

928
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: look forward to seeing her every day. It is your

929
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: new north star. It gives your life a purpose that

930
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: you didn't even think that you needed or could have.

931
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: But the message has gotten out there that well, if

932
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 1: you have children, wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait,

933
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: and then only have one maybe two, The message that

934
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: children are bad for the environment. Leftists have even gotten

935
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: it into their stupid heads that you wouldn't want to

936
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: bring children into a world.

937
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 2: This messed up.

938
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,919
Speaker 1: Where Donald Trump is president for another three years really

939
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: were that shortsighted well to combat this population time bomb.

940
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: The same people telling Western couples don't you dare have

941
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: children are saying, well, now we need to import people

942
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: who will do the work that you won't do because

943
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: you are just so much better. We can't have you

944
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: digging ditches. We can't have you folding sheets in a hotel.

945
00:59:56,360 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: We can't have you picking vegetables. You're much better than

946
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,560
Speaker 1: that here. These people will come in and do that

947
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 1: for you. That's destructive. When those people come in and

948
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: don't become part of the broader structure, you don't have

949
01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: a cohesive nation, you don't have a cohesive culture. And

950
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: this is what President Trump was talking about, and.

951
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 5: There's so much potential in so many nations. The result

952
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 5: was record budget and trade deficits and a growing sovereign

953
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 5: deficit driven by the largest wave of mass migration in

954
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 5: human history. We've never seen anything like it. Quite frankly,

955
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 5: many parts of our world are being destroyed before our

956
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 5: very eyes, and the leaders don't even understand what's happening,

957
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 5: and the ones that do understand aren't doing anything about it.

958
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 5: Virtually all of the so called experts predicted my plans

959
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 5: to end this failed model would trigger a global recession

960
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 5: and runaway inflation. But we approve in them wrong. It's

961
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 5: actually just the opposite. In one year our agenda is

962
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 5: produced transformation like America is not seen in over one

963
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 5: hundred years. Instead of closing down energy plants, we're opening

964
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:13,439
Speaker 5: them up. Instead of building ineffective money losing windmills, we're

965
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 5: taking them down and not approving any. Instead of empowering bureaucrats,

966
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:23,440
Speaker 5: we're firing them, and they're going out and getting jobs

967
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 5: in the private sector for two and three times what

968
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 5: they were making in government. So they started off hating

969
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,720
Speaker 5: me when we fired them, and now they love me.

970
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 2: I don't know about it.

971
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 5: Instead of raising taxes or domestic producers, we're lowering them

972
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 5: and raising tariffs and foreign nations to pay for the

973
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 5: damage that they've caused.

974
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 1: In other words, what President Trump is saying, it's a

975
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: fundamental reversal of this idea of the one world, borderless nations,

976
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: the new World order, as I think was it George H. W.

977
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: Bush that famously said it, and right around the time

978
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 1: of the Soviet Union's collapse, he said, well, we need

979
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 1: a new world order where all nations live together in harmony. Yeah,

980
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: that's fantastic. That's all well and good. But strong nation

981
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 1: states closely allied with each other, recognizing cultural and socio

982
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: political and socioeconomic differences, and recognizing that we can celebrate

983
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: those differences while still being a cohesive world, and banding

984
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 1: together to fight the people who do not share those

985
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: values and would bring harm and darkness to the rest

986
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 1: of the world. That is something instead of just bringing

987
01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 1: them in and then wondering why all of a sudden

988
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: a nation is at each other's throats. One of those

989
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: people who believes in this nonsense is, of course, Wisconsin

990
01:02:53,560 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: Congressman Mark po Can. The latest craziness from him up next,

991
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: Classical Conservatism Contemporary Style. Welcome back to the Dan o'donald Show.

992
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Congressman Mark po Can has been on something of

993
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 1: a heater lately of left wing craziness, saying that we

994
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: need fair maps here in Wisconsin. Fair maps, Okay, he's

995
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 1: saying that congressional maps are jerrymandered. What he means is

996
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: he wants the guy he's been stalking online for several

997
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: years now, Derek Van Worden, to be jerrymandered right out

998
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: of his congressional district.

999
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 2: Same thing with Congressman Brian's style.

1000
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 1: Who is one of the congress people in Wisconsin who

1001
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: wins by the biggest margins. Who would you say their

1002
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 1: district is the most jerrymandered? Why it's Mark po Can's

1003
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,880
Speaker 1: never quite talk about the Saddam Hussein like margins that

1004
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 1: Mark po Can dominates Madison with. But is real unhinged

1005
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: liberalism came when hosting a roundtable with reporters yesterday, while

1006
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: talking about his paranoid delusion that somehow ICE agents were

1007
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 1: going to come into Wisconsin and start rounding up American citizens.

1008
01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 2: Wkowt.

1009
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 7: If he comes in and tries to do something that

1010
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 7: I think is blatantly against the law, we need to

1011
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 7: speak out, We need to show up.

1012
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 8: When speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Democratic Representative Mark Pocan

1013
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 8: had a message for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

1014
01:04:38,120 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 7: I'm saying, look, Ice, if you come, you better obey

1015
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 7: all the laws. You better leave American citizens alone. You

1016
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 7: say you're only going after criminals, then that should be it.

1017
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 8: It comes as lawmakers discuss a spending bill that would

1018
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 8: give more funding to the Department of Homeland Security. Many

1019
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 8: Democrats are now hesitant to approve the extra funding after

1020
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,439
Speaker 8: an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis.

1021
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 1: All right here, I would challenge any Democrat, including Congressman

1022
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 1: Mark Poquette. I have actually asked him to come on

1023
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: this show a number of times I volunteered. He said

1024
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: he wanted to debate Derek Van Ordon anytime, anywhere. He

1025
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 1: said he would debate him anytime anywhere. I publicly I offered, Look, dude,

1026
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: I will moderate the debate. Come on my show. I

1027
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 1: will run it just like a straight debate. You guys

1028
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 1: can be in studio, you can be on zoom whatever.

1029
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,680
Speaker 1: I don't care. He could be on the phone. He

1030
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:35,400
Speaker 1: refused to answer me. He talks tough in my mentions

1031
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: on X, but of course he will not answer a

1032
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 1: fundamental question. What laws have ice agents broken? I mean,

1033
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: if you want to debate the shooting of Renee Nicole Good,

1034
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: I would be more than happy to do so. I

1035
01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 1: feel like I could teach the congressman and other leftists

1036
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: a thing or two about justified self defense and what

1037
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: law enforcement officers are and aren't allowed to do when

1038
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: a car is barreling towards them.

1039
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 2: Poquan actually went.

1040
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: On to say that he trusts state and local law

1041
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 1: enforcement officers to protect American citizens in Wisconsin against Ice agents.

1042
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: What he is talking about is open rebellion against the

1043
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: lawful authority of the federal government of the United States.

1044
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: Trust me, Madison lefties, when I say this, you do

1045
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: not want Mark Pocan leading you into battle in a

1046
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: new civil war. I've taken a wild guess he will

1047
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: issue the order to charge and he will get winded

1048
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: within about forty five to fifty feet. The point, though,

1049
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 1: is that what he is very calmly talking about is

1050
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 1: truly insane, the idea that somehow what he's going to

1051
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: deputize the Madison Police Department to round up and arrest

1052
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: ICE agents who are conducting deportation operations. First of all, Pocan,

1053
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:22,120
Speaker 1: who serves in the federal government, apparently knows nothing about

1054
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 1: how the federal government actually works. Do local law enforcement officers,

1055
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: do local laws have any power whatsoever over federal law.

1056
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 3: No.

1057
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 2: I feel like we need a civics lesson, And in.

1058
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 1: Fact, maybe I should have Mark Pokan on and just

1059
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: mute his microphone and lecture him for a good I'd

1060
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 1: only need four to five minutes about how the system

1061
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 1: of federalism works.

1062
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Congressman.

1063
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 1: Congressman, First of all, I don't think you actually have

1064
01:07:56,600 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 1: ever heard the phrase supremacy claw, but it is a

1065
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: pretty big one.

1066
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 2: Federal law supersedes state and local law. It just does.

1067
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: Okay, we could not possibly have a federalist system if

1068
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: it did not. Therefore, any lawful action done in furtherance

1069
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: of executing federal law cannot be stopped by municipal ordinance

1070
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: or local law enforcement. And in fact, I dare say

1071
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: that even Madison police officers and Dane County Sheriff's deputies

1072
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: would not obey orders to go and arrest ICE agents.

1073
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 1: This is crazy talk. Not only that, what is it

1074
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: that ice agents are doing. They are targeting people who

1075
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 1: are defrauding the government of the United States, i e.

1076
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:55,879
Speaker 1: People like you and me, taxpayers in Minneapolis. Big hearing

1077
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill to discuss that. We'll get into it,

1078
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 1: and the Dad O'donnalds show returns in just a couple

1079
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: of minutes. Couple of surprising stories. The House Oversight Committee

1080
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: is holding Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt as they

1081
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 1: refused to show up for testimony on the Epstein files.

1082
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: You want to know what's kind of shocking about that,

1083
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: not that James Comer's committee held the Clinton's in contempt.

1084
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:33,560
Speaker 2: Members of the squad actually voted for it. I was

1085
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 2: kind of shocked by that. Actually.

1086
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: Also today big hearing on fraud in Minneapolis, and Wisconsin's

1087
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: own Congressman Tom Tiffany, when questioning a former fraud investigator,

1088
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 1: Scott Dexter, got to the heart of how it is

1089
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: that officials in Minnesota Democrats all essentially turned a blind

1090
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 1: eye to what was going on in this state for

1091
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: years and years and years, long before Nick Shirley, who

1092
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: also testified today, uncovered it in a viral video around

1093
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 1: Christmas time.

1094
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 9: Mister Dexter, could have something been done about this earlier. Yes,

1095
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 9: as I stated in my opening testimony, in the years

1096
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:24,759
Speaker 9: that I worked there, we identified how fraud was occurring,

1097
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 9: the loopholes that existed, and of the what were some

1098
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 9: of the warning signs, mister Dexter, Well, the fact that

1099
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 9: part of our job was to go and collect attendance records.

1100
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:44,760
Speaker 9: We would find attendance records that were either incomplete non existent. Obviously,

1101
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,679
Speaker 9: there were times we found them to be fabricated because

1102
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 9: they were given to us way later, and the same

1103
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:57,160
Speaker 9: with billing records. They were allowed thirty days after the

1104
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 9: end of the billing period to submit billing records, so

1105
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 9: they were not immediately available to us, and it kind

1106
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:08,360
Speaker 9: of allowed over payments or double payments to be overlooked.

1107
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: So why was it that Somali Daycares, and pretty much

1108
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:18,679
Speaker 1: only Somali Daycares were given this wide latitude the same

1109
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 1: reason that a whole lot of fraud in inner cities

1110
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,679
Speaker 1: and a whole lot of crime generally in inner cities

1111
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: is allowed to flourish because liberals are terrified of being

1112
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 1: called racist for actually enforcing the law against anyone who's

1113
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: non white. I think a whole lot of what's going

1114
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:41,599
Speaker 1: on in Minneapolis comes down to this very simple truth

1115
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 1: that the last thing that Minneapolis's Mayor, Jacob Fry wanted

1116
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 1: to do was to tick off the very sizable Somali

1117
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 1: community when he was running for reelection by investigating their

1118
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: many welfare fraud schemes. And more importantly, as a liberal

1119
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 1: in good standing, he did not want to be accused

1120
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 1: of selective enforcement against black and brown people. I mean,

1121
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 1: we laugh at this sort of nonsense, but the allegations

1122
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:18,639
Speaker 1: of racism are very powerful deterrence to pretty much any

1123
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:22,919
Speaker 1: liberal to get them to stop doing anything that someone

1124
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:26,880
Speaker 1: who is engaged in criminal behavior might not want them

1125
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 1: to investigate. Coming off the unsung hero of the day

1126
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 1: who just might have ended Gavin Newsom's political career, trust me,

1127
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 1: you're not going to want to miss this.

1128
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 2: It's coming up next.

1129
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 1: Potentially major problems for the Republican Party of Wisconsin in

1130
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: terms of fundraising. It's a Dan O'Donnell's show exclusive, and

1131
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: it is coming up after the top of the hour.

1132
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:06,840
Speaker 1: If you care about winning elections in this state, you

1133
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:10,759
Speaker 1: are going to want to listen to this. We also

1134
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: have an update on the story we reported yesterday in

1135
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Milwaukee public schools trying to dramatically curtail what school resource

1136
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 1: officers can and can't do in school buildings. No real surprises,

1137
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:29,480
Speaker 1: of course, the school board curtailed what school resource officers

1138
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: can do in their buildings. The truly insane sound bites

1139
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:41,600
Speaker 1: from Channel twelve talking to youth empowered in the struggle

1140
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 1: who spoke up during yesterday's school board meeting. We'll get

1141
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 1: to that in the five o'clock hour. Right now, though,

1142
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 1: it's time to name the Unsung Hero of the Day.

1143
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 1: Today's unsung Hero of the Day is Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant.

1144
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 1: He was in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum,

1145
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: and so too was California's Governor Gavin Newsom, who was

1146
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 1: parading around with his money guy, Alex Soros. Well, Besant

1147
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 1: may have actually ended Gavin Newsom's career today.

1148
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:32,680
Speaker 2: With this unbelievable nickname. I think it's very, very.

1149
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:38,519
Speaker 10: Ironic that, you know, Governor Newsom who strikes me as

1150
01:14:38,600 --> 01:14:40,719
Speaker 10: Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle beach Ken.

1151
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:42,440
Speaker 2: That's incredible.

1152
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Bateman, the American psycho meets Sparkle beach Cat. Now,

1153
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: that would be one thing, and I'm fairly certain Bessant

1154
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 1: probably got that from somewhere online. But over the next

1155
01:14:55,439 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: ninety seconds he absolutely decimated.

1156
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:04,640
Speaker 10: Maybe the only Californian who knows less about economics than

1157
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 10: Kamala Harris. He's here this week with his billionaire sugar daddy,

1158
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 10: Alex Soros, and the Davos is a perfect place for

1159
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:19,320
Speaker 10: a man who when everyone else is on lockdown, when

1160
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 10: he was having people arrested for going to church, he

1161
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 10: was having on thousand dollars a night meals at the

1162
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 10: French laundry, and I'm sure the California people won't forget that.

1163
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:32,680
Speaker 10: And I can tell my message to Governor Newsom is

1164
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 10: that Trump administration is coming to California. We are going

1165
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:39,880
Speaker 10: to crack down on waste, fraud and abuse. And I

1166
01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 10: was told he was asked to give a speech on

1167
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 10: his signature policies. But he's not speaking because what of

1168
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 10: his economic policies brought outward migration from California, a gigantic

1169
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 10: budget deficit, the largest homeless population in America, and the

1170
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 10: poor folks in the Palisades who had their homes burned down.

1171
01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 10: He is here hobnobbing with the global leafed while his

1172
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 10: California citizens are still homeless. Shame on him. He is

1173
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 10: too smug, too self absorbed, and too economically illiterate to

1174
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 10: know anything.

1175
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: My goodness, ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you

1176
01:16:25,400 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 1: of a very public murder. The victim Gavin Newsom, the

1177
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 1: killer our unsung hero of the day, Scott Bessant. I'm

1178
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 1: telling you, if it wasn't for Marco Rubio wearing about

1179
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 1: fifteen different hats in this administration, Bessnt might actually very

1180
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 1: quietly be the MVP of the Trump cabinet. As great

1181
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:54,559
Speaker 1: as Marco Rubio is on foreign policy, Bessentt is just

1182
01:16:54,880 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 1: very quietly doing wonders with reigning in Trump's Trumpier instincts

1183
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: and just restoring sanity to this country. When we come

1184
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: back here on the Dan o'donald Show, I can't even

1185
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 1: believe what I am about to report about what is

1186
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:20,479
Speaker 1: going on in financing campaigns in this state. It's a

1187
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,840
Speaker 1: Dan o'donalds Show exclusive and it is coming up next

1188
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:38,960
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, We'll be right back. We all know that

1189
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,479
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six is going to be a pivotal year

1190
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: for Wisconsin. We have a state Supreme Court election coming

1191
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 1: up in just a couple of months, and for the

1192
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: first time since twenty ten, we have a gubernatorial race

1193
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 1: that does not feature an incumbent.

1194
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 2: For the first time.

1195
01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 1: In sixteen years, we are guaranteed to have a new governor.

1196
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 1: Is that going to be Tom Tiffany, Is that going

1197
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: to be Josh Showman. Is it going to be any

1198
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: one of the twenty five thousand Democrats who have thrown

1199
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: their hats into the ring. We don't know, But what

1200
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you is that if the Republican Party

1201
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin does not get its act together on fundraising,

1202
01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:28,000
Speaker 1: which is its primary goal, it is going to be very,

1203
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: very difficult for any Republican to win the governor's mansion,

1204
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:35,680
Speaker 1: a state Supreme Court race, attorney general, the state Assembly,

1205
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 1: the state Senate, or dog catcher.

1206
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:40,639
Speaker 2: Coming up.

1207
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:44,679
Speaker 1: In an exclusive report here on the Dan O'Donnell Show,

1208
01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: I am going to tell you just how bad fundraising

1209
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:53,680
Speaker 1: was from individual donors to the Wisconsin GOP in the

1210
01:18:53,720 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 1: most recent reporting period. Now, I've been saying for weeks

1211
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:03,719
Speaker 1: that financial disclosure is in the absence of any other data,

1212
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:07,640
Speaker 1: polls and such. In the early days of a gubernatorial

1213
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 1: campaign cycle, they oftentimes get outsize attention. They don't mean everything,

1214
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:22,160
Speaker 1: but they also don't mean nothing. What I am about

1215
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:27,160
Speaker 1: to share to you should shock everyone who wants to

1216
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 1: see Republicans win and wants to see this state not

1217
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 1: become Minnesota. Before I get into this, though, a reminder

1240
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:02,759

1242
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:15,000
Speaker 1: finance reports were due from the second half of twenty

1243
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:20,799
Speaker 1: twenty five, so I believe it was mid July until

1244
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:21,640
Speaker 1: mid January.

1245
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 2: July fifteenth through January.

1246
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: Fifteenth, the Republican Party of Wisconsin reported in that period

1247
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 1: taking in one point two million dollars from individual donors.

1248
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: To be precise, one million, two hundred and thirty five

1249
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, two hundred thirty five thy eighteen dollars and

1250
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:58,840
Speaker 1: eighty three cents. Guess how many individual donors gave money

1251
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:02,799
Speaker 1: to the Republican part of Wisconsin in a six month

1252
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 1: period heading into this all important state Supreme Court election

1253
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: and gubernatorial year. Five not five thousand, not five hundred,

1254
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 1: not fifty five five individual donors, and two of them

1255
01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:32,160
Speaker 1: are major donors to the Republican Party. One point one

1256
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:37,599
Speaker 1: five million of that money came from perhaps the biggest

1257
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 1: backer of Republicans in this state, Diane Hendrix, the billionaire

1258
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 1: co founder of ABC Supply. She gave one donation of

1259
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty thousand dollars and then another donation

1260
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:57,640
Speaker 1: of eight hundred thousand dollars. Another one of those donations

1261
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 1: came from Greg Cunis. He is the founder and owner

1262
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: of Qunis RV. It is a fantastic. If you are

1263
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:09,679
Speaker 1: looking for an RV, go to QNIS RV. I don't

1264
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:13,640
Speaker 1: know why, but I am fascinated with RV's. I'm a

1265
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:16,360
Speaker 1: terrible driver, so I don't think i'd be able to

1266
01:23:16,400 --> 01:23:20,439
Speaker 1: get the class of license to drive an RV. I've

1267
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 1: always wanted to have an RV. I don't know where

1268
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: i'd park it. I want to drive around the country,

1269
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:27,679
Speaker 1: parking in various Walmart parking lots.

1270
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 2: I love RV's.

1271
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 1: In fact, a significant portion of my Facebook feed is

1272
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 1: RV content, like the various Madden Cruisers, like some of

1273
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:44,679
Speaker 1: just the most insane RVs and QNIS RV. They've got

1274
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,599
Speaker 1: a fantastic selection, so I get a lot of as

1275
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 1: you can imagine, I get a lot of Qunis RV

1276
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 1: ads that pop up everywhere. They've just got a great selection.

1277
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 1: And Greg Cunis is a big backer of conservatives. He's

1278
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: a sponsor of the Mark Belling podcast asked we're very

1279
01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 1: proud to be in business here at iHeartMedia with the

1280
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 1: QNIS RV. I'd be saying nice things about him even

1281
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 1: if he wasn't a sponsor. And in fact, if you

1282
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,799
Speaker 1: would like to sponsor the Dan o'donald show. We would

1283
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 1: be more than happy to have him on board. I

1284
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: don't even need money. I want one of those RVs.

1285
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:22,920
Speaker 2: I just yeah, I want a free RV.

1286
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: Yes, this is a shameless plug for a free RV

1287
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 1: from qnss RV. We can outfit it with like the

1288
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 1: Dan o'donalds show logo. I'd roll around Wisconsin. I think

1289
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 1: that'd be awesome. I'll be the Charles producer arman. I see,

1290
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:41,599
Speaker 1: this is why I love you. A great pull, he says.

1291
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 1: I'll be the Charles Corralt of Wisconsin, just rolling around

1292
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 1: doing stories about everyday folks.

1293
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 2: Oh, I love Charles Carralt.

1294
01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: I had a great history teacher, rip mister Carter Witnell

1295
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 1: High School, who actually showed us Charles Kalt reports in class.

1296
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 1: I don't even remember what point he was trying to make,

1297
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 1: but I fell in love with Charles Kalt and just

1298
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:12,960
Speaker 1: his style of journalism. I mean it was like for

1299
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 1: a young Dan O'Donnell. This inadvertently shaped my career path

1300
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: was seeing Charles Kuralt videos in US History one, or

1301
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 1: maybe it was US History two with mister Carter. So

1302
01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:33,560
Speaker 1: Greg Cunis donated fifty thousand dollars, so big time donations,

1303
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,400
Speaker 1: and that's great, that's great. I will give credit where

1304
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 1: credit is due. I was very critical of Brian Shimming,

1305
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 1: who full disclosure, he is a friend. I have been

1306
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 1: very critical of his tenure as chairman of the Republican

1307
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:50,879
Speaker 1: Party of Wisconsin. Remember he is the very first chairman

1308
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: that the Republican Party is paying for the first time.

1309
01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 1: It is not a volunteer position. And I said, look,

1310
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: he needs to be talking to big money donors. He

1311
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:04,879
Speaker 1: needs to be getting money flowing in. And in fact,

1312
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 1: one point two million dollars is a good haul. But

1313
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:15,639
Speaker 1: if you look a little deeper, the number of small

1314
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:21,240
Speaker 1: dollar donors to the Republican Party of Wisconsin is three,

1315
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:30,000
Speaker 1: and those three have set automatic recurring donations. One guy

1316
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 1: by the name of Don I'm not gonna give. I mean,

1317
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 1: I know it's a public record. I'm not going to give,

1318
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:39,480
Speaker 1: especially because I don't want left wing crazies.

1319
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 3: Now.

1320
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 1: I heard on the Dan O'Donnell show that you give

1321
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:44,840
Speaker 1: the Republican Party, I'm gonna punch you in the mouth.

1322
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:48,000
Speaker 2: That's what they do.

1323
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:52,120
Speaker 1: Don has a monthly giving schedule of one hundred and

1324
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars per month over the course of this

1325
01:26:56,080 --> 01:27:00,680
Speaker 1: six month reporting period. He therefore gave one hundred and

1326
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:06,440
Speaker 1: fifty dollars. There's another guy by the name of Larry

1327
01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: who has a monthly recurring donation of twenty six dollars

1328
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:15,000
Speaker 1: and two cents total of one hundred and fifty six

1329
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:19,679
Speaker 1: dollars and eighteen cents. Another guy by the name of Bill,

1330
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 1: who I think is being smurfed. He's giving per month

1331
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 1: one dollar to the Republican Party of Wisconsin. Now, either

1332
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 1: Bill is quite the cheapskate or his identity might be

1333
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 1: used to be smurfed.

1334
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:42,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, and I can't prove that.

1335
01:27:42,840 --> 01:27:45,920
Speaker 1: In fact, it's more likely than not that he is

1336
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 1: in fact giving a dollar a month to the Republican

1337
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:49,919
Speaker 1: Party of Wisconsin.

1338
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 2: You know, maybe he's smurfing.

1339
01:27:53,600 --> 01:28:00,240
Speaker 1: Is where big money donors will have their donations to.

1340
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 1: They'll get around campaign finance reporting limits. They'll they'll get

1341
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 1: around donation limits by funneling the Donation Act. Blue does

1342
01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:11,679
Speaker 1: this to the tune of millions and millions of dollars.

1343
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:17,360
Speaker 1: It's incredibly illegal. And Peter Berneger, who is an investigative

1344
01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:21,920
Speaker 1: reporter and he's very concerned in Wisconsin with election integrity.

1345
01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 2: He blew the lid on this.

1346
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 1: We worked with him a few years back on his

1347
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:31,400
Speaker 1: investigations into smurfing. I don't know if this is it,

1348
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 1: but I would actually take a look at this. A

1349
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 1: one month, one dollar a month donation, all right, in

1350
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:45,800
Speaker 1: a six month period from every day regular individual donors,

1351
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:50,599
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Republican Party took in nine hundred and twelve

1352
01:28:50,720 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 1: dollars and eighteen cents from three recurring donations. Yes, they

1353
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 1: got a whole lot of money from Diane Hendricks. They

1354
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 1: got a great amount of money from Greg Quness. Maybe

1355
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:17,600
Speaker 1: he provided shimming with an RPWRV. This is beyond unacceptable,

1356
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 1: and it's made worse by the fact that we have

1357
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:25,840
Speaker 1: a bit of a loophole here in Wisconsin. You can

1358
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 1: give unlimited amounts of money. If you're wondering why Hendricks

1359
01:29:29,720 --> 01:29:31,880
Speaker 1: was able to give more than a million dollars to

1360
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 1: the Republican Party of Wisconsin, which it can then in

1361
01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:39,720
Speaker 1: turn give unlimited amounts of that money to whatever candidates

1362
01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:44,000
Speaker 1: it sees fit. So a donation to the Republican Party

1363
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin or a donation to the Democratic Party of

1364
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:51,120
Speaker 1: Wisconsin will actually go far, far further. If you are

1365
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 1: a big money donor, or even if you're an everyday

1366
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 1: donor and you just want your money to do something,

1367
01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:01,040
Speaker 1: you can donate as much as you want to state

1368
01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 1: parties without running a foul of state campaign donation limits.

1369
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:13,280
Speaker 1: Democrats have exploited this loophole ever since twenty twenty, when

1370
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:17,519
Speaker 1: then Democratic Party Chairman Ben Wickler got what turned out

1371
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:22,320
Speaker 1: to be the brilliant idea during lockdown of reuniting the

1372
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 1: cast of.

1373
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:23,679
Speaker 2: The West Wing.

1374
01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 1: If you want to ever see a boomer Lib, you

1375
01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:31,600
Speaker 1: don't need to give a boomer Lib viagra or cialis.

1376
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:35,519
Speaker 1: You just need to mention President Bartlett on the West

1377
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:39,680
Speaker 1: Wing and they'll at least have a semi. I have

1378
01:30:39,880 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 1: never seen a group of people fetishize a TV show

1379
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 1: more than Liberals have fetishized the West Wing. You know why,

1380
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:50,759
Speaker 1: because the government is actually confident. This is the first

1381
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 1: time Libs have ever seen Democrats be good at governing.

1382
01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:58,320
Speaker 1: It was on the West Wing. He reunited the cast

1383
01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 1: of the West Wing because Bradley Whitford is from is

1384
01:31:03,040 --> 01:31:05,760
Speaker 1: he from Madison or he's married to Janekas Merrick who's

1385
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:08,840
Speaker 1: from Greendale. Janekas Merrick, of course, played the mom in

1386
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:13,200
Speaker 1: Malcolm in the Middle, which, by the way, they're bringing

1387
01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:15,559
Speaker 1: back a version of Malcolm in the Middle with Brian

1388
01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:20,720
Speaker 1: Cranston playing Hall and Malcolm is back. They couldn't get

1389
01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 1: one of the kids, but I guess it's good to

1390
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:24,559
Speaker 1: follow the family now that the kids are all grown

1391
01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:25,360
Speaker 1: up and that sort of thing.

1392
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 2: It seems like a decent enough concept. I watched a

1393
01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:28,599
Speaker 2: little bit of Malcolm in the Middle.

1394
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:31,200
Speaker 1: I think it was on when I was in college

1395
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:33,120
Speaker 1: or late high school and wasn't really watching a whole

1396
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:36,360
Speaker 1: lot of TV. Nonetheless, he gets together the cast of

1397
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:40,640
Speaker 1: the West Wing and his pitch was, Okay, donate to

1398
01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:43,800
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Democratic Party because if you're a billionaire in

1399
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:50,320
Speaker 1: California you can donate and be subject to strict campaign

1400
01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: finance limits to politicians. In California, Democrats are going to win.

1401
01:31:55,120 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 1: Why don't you support the single biggest swing state in

1402
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:04,320
Speaker 1: the country with unlimited donations. Word got out that you

1403
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:09,880
Speaker 1: could do this, and Democrats dominated the fundraising game by

1404
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:14,439
Speaker 1: exploiting the state party or local party loophole. The same

1405
01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:17,639
Speaker 1: goes to with county parties. You can donate unlimited amounts

1406
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:20,280
Speaker 1: of money to say, the Milwaukee County Republican Party or

1407
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:23,439
Speaker 1: Waukeshak County Republican Party, and they can disperse it in

1408
01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:29,519
Speaker 1: unlimited amounts to whatever candidates they want. The fact that

1409
01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 1: it is abundantly clear that years later Republicans have not

1410
01:32:35,200 --> 01:32:39,240
Speaker 1: matched forget about dollar for dollar, but even in the

1411
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 1: concept of what Democrats have done by funding all of

1412
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:49,839
Speaker 1: their candidates with just massive gobs of money coming into

1413
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:54,519
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. Look, the total is great, and thank

1414
01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:57,640
Speaker 1: you so much, Diane Hendrix for what you do for

1415
01:32:57,720 --> 01:33:03,120
Speaker 1: the state of Wisconsin and trying desperately to keep it sane.

1416
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 1: But why aren't there out of state billionaires donating massive

1417
01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 1: amounts of money. Elon Musk could donate fifty million dollars

1418
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:20,880
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you he would never even notice.

1419
01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:22,040
Speaker 2: Where's the pitch for that?

1420
01:33:23,720 --> 01:33:28,320
Speaker 1: More importantly, it is abundantly clear that word is not

1421
01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:31,760
Speaker 1: gotten out to these small dollar donors that if you

1422
01:33:31,960 --> 01:33:35,400
Speaker 1: give to the Republican Party you can fund all of

1423
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:37,599
Speaker 1: the candidates. And I get it, and I have heard

1424
01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:41,920
Speaker 1: the excuses. It is a valid I had Brian on

1425
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:43,400
Speaker 1: a while back, and I you know what I should

1426
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:44,000
Speaker 1: get him on.

1427
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:47,160
Speaker 2: I need to bury the hatchet.

1428
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. I like Brian a great deal.

1429
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 1: I think Brian is a fantastic guy. You will not

1430
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:59,479
Speaker 1: meet a nicer, more charismatic, more generous, more decent human

1431
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:04,400
Speaker 1: being than I Shimming. He is truly a great guy. Okay,

1432
01:34:05,320 --> 01:34:10,080
Speaker 1: he just he is not good at doing the one

1433
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:12,320
Speaker 1: thing a party chair has got to be good at,

1434
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:19,720
Speaker 1: and that's fundraising money, money, money, money, money. He's great

1435
01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:22,680
Speaker 1: at doing the raw ra the cheerleading, giving speeches. He

1436
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:28,120
Speaker 1: was fantastic at the Republican National Convention. Just an incredible

1437
01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:31,840
Speaker 1: job in working with Ryan's previous who By the ways,

1438
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:33,360
Speaker 1: you see, Ryan's got a new job. He's going to

1439
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:35,880
Speaker 1: be a Fox News contributor. Good for him, great friend

1440
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:37,479
Speaker 1: of the show. We do love Ryan's. Will have to

1441
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:40,439
Speaker 1: have him on again to talk about that and give

1442
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:45,160
Speaker 1: his lay of the land here. But it seems as

1443
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:50,759
Speaker 1: though Republicans in charge of raising money in this state

1444
01:34:50,960 --> 01:34:54,719
Speaker 1: have not gotten it through their heads that you need

1445
01:34:54,760 --> 01:34:57,599
Speaker 1: to get people. What Shimming said is, look, our people

1446
01:34:57,680 --> 01:35:01,600
Speaker 1: prefer to donate to candidates, and I at that. Do

1447
01:35:01,640 --> 01:35:06,559
Speaker 1: you know how many small dollar donors Marie Lazarre has

1448
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 1: had in that same reporting period July to January, small

1449
01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:15,400
Speaker 1: dollar donors being one hundred dollars or less. Just take

1450
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:20,719
Speaker 1: a guess, because you know conservatives like giving to individual candidates.

1451
01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:27,800
Speaker 1: She had nineteen nineteen and six months. Something is seriously

1452
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:31,040
Speaker 1: wrong here. I don't know if they're counting on Elon

1453
01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:34,439
Speaker 1: to come in with ten million bucks of America Pack

1454
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:40,960
Speaker 1: money again and save the day. But he did last year.

1455
01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:47,639
Speaker 1: And guess what we lost by ten with these kind

1456
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 1: of fundraising numbers. I mean, I hate to say it.

1457
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:54,759
Speaker 1: I think the world of Marie Lazar too. I can't

1458
01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 1: shake the feeling we're losing this Supreme Court race by

1459
01:35:57,200 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 1: twenty by twenty. And I don't think that's an exaggeration.

1460
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:11,560
Speaker 1: The idea, though, that we have we have an infinite

1461
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:18,840
Speaker 1: money glitch, that we can fund our candidates with unlimited

1462
01:36:18,880 --> 01:36:24,000
Speaker 1: donations to the state party. And the state Party has

1463
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:29,160
Speaker 1: not told every conservative leaning money person in the country

1464
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:34,840
Speaker 1: first of all that this infinite money glitch exists, and

1465
01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:40,479
Speaker 1: second of all that we don't have people like you

1466
01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 1: or me who obviously can't give that amount of money

1467
01:36:46,320 --> 01:36:50,719
Speaker 1: but can can certainly give ten dollars a month, twenty

1468
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:51,479
Speaker 1: dollars a month.

1469
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:54,920
Speaker 2: That's nothing. Why is that why is that not getting

1470
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:55,320
Speaker 2: out there.

1471
01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:07,960
Speaker 1: I I foresee some very serious problems for Tiffany or Showman,

1472
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:11,960
Speaker 1: whoever wins that primary, for Eric Tony running for AG,

1473
01:37:12,600 --> 01:37:16,240
Speaker 1: for Will Martin and David Varnuman, whoever it is wins

1474
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:20,040
Speaker 1: the nomination for lieutenant governor, we are going to have

1475
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:25,519
Speaker 1: some serious issues. If you've got three donors, you could

1476
01:37:25,600 --> 01:37:30,120
Speaker 1: not convince one person in six months, six months of

1477
01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 1: going across the state. There are how many paid staffers

1478
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:36,800
Speaker 1: at the Republican Party of Wisconsin.

1479
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:37,639
Speaker 2: You could not.

1480
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:41,720
Speaker 1: Convince one person to open up their wallet and give

1481
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:45,200
Speaker 1: you one hundred dollars donation, not one.

1482
01:37:45,360 --> 01:37:48,240
Speaker 2: But I wonder if these guys.

1483
01:37:48,240 --> 01:37:52,559
Speaker 1: Bill, Larry, and Don, the three dudes who did have

1484
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:55,920
Speaker 1: recurring donation, I wonder if they even remember that they

1485
01:37:55,960 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 1: have this recurring donation or it's just ach transfer coming

1486
01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:01,720
Speaker 1: out of their bank.

1487
01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:05,360
Speaker 2: And they're like, Okay, they don't even know.

1488
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:08,719
Speaker 1: Certainly, Bill, the dude who's donating a buck a month,

1489
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:09,519
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a while.

1490
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:10,960
Speaker 2: Guess he doesn't notice. I'll tell you what.

1491
01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:14,400
Speaker 1: We'll get your reactions to this coming up next four one,

1492
01:38:14,439 --> 01:38:16,679
Speaker 1: four seven, nine to nine, eleven thirty.

1493
01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 2: It's the Dan O'Donnell's show More of.

1494
01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:36,240
Speaker 1: It next, reiterating our rather shocking exclusive story. Only five

1495
01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:40,840
Speaker 1: individual donors to the Republican Party of Wisconsin during the

1496
01:38:40,920 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 1: last six months of twenty twenty five. Two of them

1497
01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:49,400
Speaker 1: were big money donors Diane Hendrix and Greg Cunis of

1498
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:55,280
Speaker 1: QNIS RV. The other three were dudes who had recurring donations.

1499
01:38:55,439 --> 01:38:59,759
Speaker 1: One of them was for a dollar a month, totaling

1500
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:03,439
Speaker 1: nine hundred and twelve dollars and eighteen cents out of

1501
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:09,120
Speaker 1: one point two million dollars raised. That seems like it's

1502
01:39:09,160 --> 01:39:12,559
Speaker 1: a big problem. There's one guy who had a one

1503
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five dollars monthly donation that was you know,

1504
01:39:17,120 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 1: it's just kind of taken automatically. I'm assuming out of

1505
01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:23,000
Speaker 1: a bank account. Another guy it was twenty six dollars

1506
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 1: and two cents. Another guy a buck a month. Also,

1507
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 1: we do have some clarification from a listener.

1508
01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:33,160
Speaker 2: He says, as.

1509
01:39:33,040 --> 01:39:36,800
Speaker 1: Far as he knows, I do not need a separate license.

1510
01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 1: If I were to get an RV from QNSRV, I

1511
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:44,320
Speaker 1: could just drive it with my regular license, he said,

1512
01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:50,880
Speaker 1: Then I have to wrap it in DoD logo as

1513
01:39:50,920 --> 01:39:55,839
Speaker 1: well as a rap that says vote here. I collect

1514
01:39:55,880 --> 01:39:58,919
Speaker 1: people's mail in ballots, just like they did in Receide.

1515
01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:03,160
Speaker 1: I basically have my own Scooby Doom mystery voting machine.

1516
01:40:03,240 --> 01:40:05,679
Speaker 1: Let's go out to Oak Creek and talk to Tom.

1517
01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 5: Tom.

1518
01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:09,559
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan O'Donnell show. Good evening, sir man.

1519
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:11,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you the biggest thing I have we

1520
01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:13,559
Speaker 3: have with shimming. The problem I have with shimming is

1521
01:40:13,920 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 3: when he gets up thirty speaks to us. He's all

1522
01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:20,800
Speaker 3: doom and gloom, and he lectures and his address to

1523
01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:25,599
Speaker 3: the people is, come on, people, this is serious. We

1524
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:26,720
Speaker 3: are you know what? Okay?

1525
01:40:26,920 --> 01:40:28,880
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on, Tom. I don't want

1526
01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:31,720
Speaker 1: to I don't wanna, I don't want to interrupt you.

1527
01:40:32,240 --> 01:40:36,519
Speaker 1: Can you say that exactly? Come on, people, just do

1528
01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:41,559
Speaker 1: it again for me. Come on, dude, you do such

1529
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:42,919
Speaker 1: a good shimming impression.

1530
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 2: It's not even funny. I'm gonna disagree with you on that.

1531
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:49,200
Speaker 1: I actually think that's fantastic that he's doom and gloom.

1532
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:54,960
Speaker 2: You know why, because it's freaking doom and gloom, Tom, Tom.

1533
01:40:55,360 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 3: It doesn't.

1534
01:40:57,800 --> 01:40:58,920
Speaker 2: It should do?

1535
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:02,759
Speaker 1: Okay, do you want me to motivate you? Thomas Thomas

1536
01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:03,680
Speaker 1: hold on.

1537
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:08,400
Speaker 3: Okay, go ahead, Dan jan The Republicans have got my vote.

1538
01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 3: We go to reach out to the people that are

1539
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:12,719
Speaker 3: in the middle. The people are in the middle need Hey,

1540
01:41:12,920 --> 01:41:14,599
Speaker 3: this is what we're going to do as a party

1541
01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:18,720
Speaker 3: when we get it back Beck in uck in office.

1542
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:22,680
Speaker 2: No, I get you, I get you there.

1543
01:41:23,360 --> 01:41:25,479
Speaker 3: There was nothing exciting about when he talked.

1544
01:41:25,439 --> 01:41:30,080
Speaker 1: Here is the thing, Tom, here's the thing. Have you

1545
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:33,000
Speaker 1: been following what's been going on in Virginia?

1546
01:41:34,040 --> 01:41:34,880
Speaker 2: Have you have you?

1547
01:41:35,160 --> 01:41:39,519
Speaker 1: Okay, So Republicans in wiscons are Democrats in Wisconsin, I

1548
01:41:39,560 --> 01:41:43,320
Speaker 1: should say Democrats in Wisconsin are openly talking about the

1549
01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:45,640
Speaker 1: quote unquote trifecta.

1550
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:48,200
Speaker 2: They they they are going to win.

1551
01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:53,519
Speaker 1: They think the Legislature, the the Assembly, the Senate, and

1552
01:41:53,600 --> 01:41:57,560
Speaker 1: they're going to take the governor's mansion. Okay, Democrats in

1553
01:41:57,640 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 1: Virginia just did that. Do you know all of the

1554
01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:05,799
Speaker 1: crazy things that they are doing in Virginia?

1555
01:42:06,560 --> 01:42:09,080
Speaker 4: Do you have all of the stuff, all of.

1556
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 1: The stuff that they are introducing. Now, I want you

1557
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:16,600
Speaker 1: to imagine. I want you to imagine Tom here in Wisconsin.

1558
01:42:16,800 --> 01:42:22,160
Speaker 1: Here in Wisconsin, you have Governor Mandela Barnes. Do you

1559
01:42:22,280 --> 01:42:26,639
Speaker 1: think that's going to be crazier or less crazy than

1560
01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:28,960
Speaker 1: Governor Abigail Spanberger.

1561
01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:32,280
Speaker 2: Okay, it's going to be more crazy, Dan, It's going

1562
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:34,680
Speaker 2: to be more crazy. Okay, Tom, hold on, hold on.

1563
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:37,080
Speaker 2: Here are all of.

1564
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 1: The things that they have introduced. This comes courtesy of

1565
01:42:40,200 --> 01:42:42,360
Speaker 1: the great conservative reporter Greg Price.

1566
01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 2: Okay.

1567
01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:47,240
Speaker 1: A new four point three percent sales tax on Uber eats,

1568
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:52,280
Speaker 1: Amazon and various other deliveries. New sales tax on admissions

1569
01:42:52,320 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 1: to a wide variety of businesses. Two new higher tax

1570
01:42:56,320 --> 01:42:59,160
Speaker 1: brackets eight to ten percent on people making over six

1571

Speaker 1: hundred thousand, ten percent bracket people making over a million,

1572
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:09,160
Speaker 1: three percent investment tax on top of state income taxes,

1573
01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 1: hotel taxes. Increased new personal property tax on landscaping equipment.

1574
01:43:14,760 --> 01:43:19,040
Speaker 1: They would ban gas powered leaf blowers. They would guarantee

1575
01:43:19,080 --> 01:43:23,439
Speaker 1: illegal aliens free education. They would make it illegal to

1576
01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:26,200
Speaker 1: approach somebody at an abortion clinic. They would extend the

1577
01:43:26,240 --> 01:43:29,360
Speaker 1: time absentee ballots can be received after election day to

1578
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:32,200
Speaker 1: three days. They would allow people to cast their votes

1579
01:43:32,240 --> 01:43:33,959
Speaker 1: electronically through the Internet.

1580
01:43:34,400 --> 01:43:35,320
Speaker 2: They would allow.

1581
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:39,080
Speaker 1: Internet voting like this, like this is America's got talent?

1582
01:43:39,560 --> 01:43:40,040
Speaker 2: Okay.

1583
01:43:40,680 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 1: They would make it illegal to hand count ballots. They

1584
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:52,120
Speaker 1: would redact the addresses of political candidates from foyas. They

1585
01:43:52,160 --> 01:43:56,479
Speaker 1: would extend the deadline for ballot curing to one week

1586
01:43:56,520 --> 01:44:01,360
Speaker 1: after election day. They would expand ranked choice voting. They

1587
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:05,840
Speaker 1: would add Virginia to the National Popular Vote Compact. They

1588
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 1: would add a five hundred dollars sales tax on firearms suppressors,

1589
01:44:10,600 --> 01:44:14,559
Speaker 1: a large capacity magazine and assault weapons ban, an eleven

1590
01:44:14,600 --> 01:44:17,520
Speaker 1: percent sales tax on all firearms and ammunition.

1591
01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 2: Hold on, I'm not done. You are gonna listen to

1592
01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:24,320
Speaker 2: all of this doom and gloom tom Okay.

1593
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:27,240
Speaker 1: They would prohibit outdoor shooting of a firearm on land

1594
01:44:27,320 --> 01:44:30,439
Speaker 1: less than five acres, lower the criminal penalties for robbery,

1595
01:44:30,960 --> 01:44:35,480
Speaker 1: ban the arrest of illegal aliens in courthouses, remove mandatory

1596
01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 1: minimum sentences on things like child sex.

1597
01:44:40,080 --> 01:44:41,960
Speaker 2: Acts as well as rape.

1598
01:44:42,120 --> 01:44:45,679
Speaker 1: They would allow localities to install speed cameras, and of course,

1599
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:50,720
Speaker 1: replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People's Day. Do you hear

1600
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:55,760
Speaker 1: anything there that Wisconsin Democrats would not do if they

1601
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 1: got the trifecta.

1602
01:44:57,479 --> 01:44:58,320
Speaker 2: Doom and gloom?

1603
01:44:58,880 --> 01:45:02,240
Speaker 1: I am totally f with coming from the chairman of

1604
01:45:02,280 --> 01:45:03,240
Speaker 1: the Republican Party.

1605
01:45:03,880 --> 01:45:08,240
Speaker 3: Okay, when wins seers though in Virginia was doom and gloom.

1606
01:45:08,840 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 3: If you vote for me, this is what's gonna happen.

1607
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:14,759
Speaker 3: Come on, people, this is Sirio.

1608
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:18,800
Speaker 1: That's actually not entirely that's actually not entirely accurate. Win

1609
01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:23,880
Speaker 1: some Seers win some Seers was in fact very raw. Rah,

1610
01:45:24,720 --> 01:45:28,680
Speaker 1: Let's go team now she was win some Earl Seers

1611
01:45:28,880 --> 01:45:31,479
Speaker 1: was great. I mean, she was on Fox News all

1612
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:33,880
Speaker 1: the time. She did not do and this is where

1613
01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:37,439
Speaker 1: I will agree with you, Tom, what Brian Shimming is

1614
01:45:37,439 --> 01:45:40,120
Speaker 1: not doing well. She did not fundraise very well, and

1615
01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:43,559
Speaker 1: she was she was just an exceptionally weak candidate. She

1616
01:45:43,720 --> 01:45:46,400
Speaker 1: was just not a very good candidate. By the way,

1617
01:45:46,439 --> 01:45:49,360
Speaker 1: you can find that list of bills that have already

1618
01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:54,599
Speaker 1: been introduced by Virginia Democrats just in the first couple

1619
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:58,040
Speaker 1: of weeks of them retaking the majority of both houses

1620
01:45:58,479 --> 01:46:01,519
Speaker 1: of their state legislature and taking the governor's mansion with

1621
01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:09,600
Speaker 1: Abigail Spanberger defeating Winsome Earl series. Wisconsin Democrats would absolutely

1622
01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:13,720
Speaker 1: do the same thing, and they have a Supreme Court

1623
01:46:13,880 --> 01:46:15,800
Speaker 1: that would legalize all of it. They would give a

1624
01:46:15,880 --> 01:46:21,599
Speaker 1: rubber stamp to everything that Democrats want to do. So

1625
01:46:21,840 --> 01:46:27,000
Speaker 1: I disagree it is doom and gloom. It is battened

1626
01:46:27,040 --> 01:46:30,919
Speaker 1: down the hatches because there is a storm of crazy

1627
01:46:31,120 --> 01:46:36,519
Speaker 1: coming if Democrats win the governor's mansion as well as

1628
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:41,800
Speaker 1: the state legislature. Now there is good news. The Republican

1629
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 1: Assembly fundraising mechanism. It's known as rac RACC. It raised

1630
01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:52,880
Speaker 1: four million dollars in the latest reporting period. It raised

1631
01:46:52,920 --> 01:47:00,400
Speaker 1: about four times what Assembly Democrats raised, meaning the Republics.

1632
01:47:00,439 --> 01:47:03,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, all those of you who despise

1633
01:47:03,320 --> 01:47:06,200
Speaker 1: Robin Voss, do you know what he is insanely good

1634
01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:13,760
Speaker 1: at fundraising, getting tons of money into the hands of

1635
01:47:13,920 --> 01:47:21,439
Speaker 1: candidates and incumbents who desperately meet it. RACK raised four

1636
01:47:21,600 --> 01:47:27,360
Speaker 1: times the amount that the Democrat counterpart did. Unfortunately, Democrats

1637
01:47:27,640 --> 01:47:32,360
Speaker 1: State Senate fundraising took in about two million dollars to

1638
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:39,200
Speaker 1: Republicans one million dollars. It is entirely likely that Democrats

1639
01:47:39,280 --> 01:47:42,280
Speaker 1: retake control of the state Senate for the first time

1640
01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:46,840
Speaker 1: in a very long time. I still think it's probably

1641
01:47:47,160 --> 01:47:52,839
Speaker 1: likely that Republicans retain control of the State Assembly unless

1642
01:47:52,840 --> 01:47:57,479
Speaker 1: it's a true blue wipeout year. I just don't see

1643
01:47:57,520 --> 01:48:02,360
Speaker 1: that happening, especially if if I see the gubernatorial races

1644
01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:06,280
Speaker 1: going as I suspect they will, and that's Tom Tiffany

1645
01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:09,960
Speaker 1: gets the Republican nomination and Democrats are unable to stop

1646
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:14,800
Speaker 1: the man deadbeat Barnes trade. And he's the Democrat nominee

1647
01:48:15,439 --> 01:48:19,960
Speaker 1: that would do wonders for bringing out turnout for Republicans.

1648
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:20,920
Speaker 2: A follow up on.

1649
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:25,080
Speaker 1: MPs dramatically limiting what resource officers can do, that's next here.

1650
01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:26,479
Speaker 2: On the Dan o'damma show.

1651
01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:35,839
Speaker 1: Last night, we reported that the Milwaukee Public Schools Board

1652
01:48:36,280 --> 01:48:40,360
Speaker 1: was voting on a measure that could potentially dramatically limit

1653
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:45,080
Speaker 1: what school resource officers are allowed to do. And that

1654
01:48:45,320 --> 01:48:50,599
Speaker 1: is a resolution that was proposed by Missy Zombor, who

1655
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:55,800
Speaker 1: is the MPs board president, that would allow resource officers

1656
01:48:55,840 --> 01:49:01,120
Speaker 1: to get involved only in things that are crimes, as

1657
01:49:01,240 --> 01:49:05,679
Speaker 1: determined presumably by Missy Zombor.

1658
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:09,919
Speaker 2: Why this is such.

1659
01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:14,240
Speaker 1: A big, big problem is because a whole lot of

1660
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:19,439
Speaker 1: things that might or might not be initially criminal in

1661
01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:26,920
Speaker 1: nature can very quickly escalate to criminality. Now, what Zombor

1662
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:30,559
Speaker 1: was trying to make the case for was that a

1663
01:49:30,600 --> 01:49:35,719
Speaker 1: lot of these things are public nuisance. The idea here

1664
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:40,000
Speaker 1: is that Milwaukee police officers who were supposed to be

1665
01:49:40,040 --> 01:49:43,679
Speaker 1: in public schools in Milwaukee for years and years and years,

1666
01:49:43,680 --> 01:49:47,160
Speaker 1: but were removed in of course, twenty twenty, and only

1667
01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:52,840
Speaker 1: restored after MPs got sued and threatened with contempt of

1668
01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:57,120
Speaker 1: court because they simply refused to live up to their

1669
01:49:57,240 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 1: end of the bargain. When the city of Milwaukee got

1670
01:49:59,720 --> 01:50:03,080
Speaker 1: mad increases in shared revenue from the state of Wisconsin

1671
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 1: and the ability to implement a brand new two percent

1672
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:08,839
Speaker 1: city sales tax, all they needed to do in return

1673
01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:13,040
Speaker 1: was to restore the Milwaukee Public School resource officers in

1674
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:14,800
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Public schools refused to do it.

1675
01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:20,400
Speaker 2: MPs simply refused to do it. Resource officers in just the.

1676
01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:24,719
Speaker 1: First couple of months of their reinstatement dramatically drove down

1677
01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:28,000
Speaker 1: criminal incidents in schools. They made a number of arrests,

1678
01:50:29,720 --> 01:50:33,200
Speaker 1: but of course the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel did a study

1679
01:50:34,479 --> 01:50:37,000
Speaker 1: and found that ninety two percent of the students who

1680
01:50:37,040 --> 01:50:39,840
Speaker 1: are arrested were black. And of course that just cannot

1681
01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:42,519
Speaker 1: do because there must be racism on the part of

1682
01:50:42,600 --> 01:50:49,040
Speaker 1: the primarily black school resource officers who are in these buildings.

1683
01:50:50,160 --> 01:50:57,200
Speaker 1: They must be racist because crime is down in those schools,

1684
01:50:57,240 --> 01:50:59,960
Speaker 1: because students for criminality are being arrested.

1685
01:51:00,840 --> 01:51:02,280
Speaker 2: This is a big problem.

1686
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:06,920
Speaker 1: A lot of the citations that are given are for

1687
01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:11,760
Speaker 1: disorderly conduct. Zombor somehow got it in her head that

1688
01:51:11,920 --> 01:51:17,920
Speaker 1: disorderly conduct means somebody playing music too loud, or somebody

1689
01:51:17,960 --> 01:51:21,400
Speaker 1: being loud and disruptive in class. Know what it means

1690
01:51:21,680 --> 01:51:24,840
Speaker 1: is that they are part of some sort of violent confrontation,

1691
01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:29,240
Speaker 1: but maybe there is not enough evidence to file criminal

1692
01:51:29,320 --> 01:51:32,559
Speaker 1: charges of assault or battery, so they get the catch

1693
01:51:32,560 --> 01:51:36,640
Speaker 1: all disorderly conduct. That is what police officers use disorderly

1694
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:40,200
Speaker 1: conduct for. Do you think if if I'm going to

1695
01:51:40,400 --> 01:51:43,599
Speaker 1: a public place and just being way too loud, I'm

1696
01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:46,240
Speaker 1: going to get a ticket for disorderly conduct.

1697
01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:46,880
Speaker 2: Of course not.

1698
01:51:47,600 --> 01:51:50,639
Speaker 1: But if I'm doing something that borders on something far

1699
01:51:50,720 --> 01:51:54,280
Speaker 1: more serious, or if a police officer or a prosecutor

1700
01:51:54,280 --> 01:51:57,040
Speaker 1: can't prove that I am doing something more serious, I'll

1701
01:51:57,040 --> 01:52:03,719
Speaker 1: get the catch all disorderly conduct. Before this resolution passed,

1702
01:52:03,720 --> 01:52:08,240
Speaker 1: and it did pass, of course unanimously, to prohibit officers

1703
01:52:08,320 --> 01:52:16,840
Speaker 1: from investigating disorderly conduct type things, there were speakers in

1704
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,919
Speaker 1: support of the resolution, there was apparently not one speaker

1705
01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:23,920
Speaker 1: against it. And Channel twelve put together a quick little

1706
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:28,760
Speaker 1: montage of some of these students and other Shall we

1707
01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:33,519
Speaker 1: say activists who are opposed to School Resource Office.

1708
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:36,200
Speaker 11: I've seen and heard of multiple instances where an officer

1709
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:37,920
Speaker 11: unpromptedly got involved in a.

1710
01:52:37,840 --> 01:52:41,520
Speaker 2: City unpromptedly bang up job.

1711
01:52:41,600 --> 01:52:44,439
Speaker 11: MPs situation where a student was posing little to NOE

1712
01:52:44,520 --> 01:52:48,280
Speaker 11: threat things like yelling, tardiness, and other disorderly conduct.

1713
01:52:48,439 --> 01:52:54,040
Speaker 1: Tardiness, this woman thinks or this girl thinks tardiness. The

1714
01:52:54,080 --> 01:52:56,160
Speaker 1: cops are going to arrest you for being late to

1715
01:52:56,200 --> 01:52:58,400
Speaker 1: class insane.

1716
01:52:58,040 --> 01:53:00,679
Speaker 11: That is not a legal matter. Can escalate into legal

1717
01:53:00,720 --> 01:53:02,799
Speaker 11: matters only when the police are involved.

1718
01:53:02,960 --> 01:53:05,880
Speaker 10: To be honest, I always felt like I wasn't safe

1719
01:53:05,920 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 10: as school.

1720
01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:12,240
Speaker 1: I always felt like I wasn't safe at school. Okay,

1721
01:53:13,439 --> 01:53:15,840
Speaker 1: probably should get the cops involved.

1722
01:53:15,400 --> 01:53:15,880
Speaker 4: Top most.

1723
01:53:15,960 --> 01:53:20,160
Speaker 10: Now that the SROs are at schools, I don't feel safer.

1724
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:23,559
Speaker 1: And we're I don't feel safer. Okay, Now listen to

1725
01:53:23,600 --> 01:53:27,080
Speaker 1: this last guy. Okay, this is where this is really

1726
01:53:27,120 --> 01:53:27,719
Speaker 1: coming from.

1727
01:53:27,880 --> 01:53:30,600
Speaker 2: We're here to say that we don't want schools that

1728
01:53:30,640 --> 01:53:33,599
Speaker 2: are based on intimidation and fear, and we want schools

1729
01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:34,919
Speaker 2: based on liberation.

1730
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:41,479
Speaker 1: We want schools based on liberation. That, by the way,

1731
01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:46,280
Speaker 1: was a dude who is with youth empowered in the struggle,

1732
01:53:46,479 --> 01:53:51,599
Speaker 1: which is a branch of VO says de la front

1733
01:53:51,640 --> 01:53:57,960
Speaker 1: Terra radical left wing organizations, anti police organizations. They want liberation.

1734
01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:03,440
Speaker 1: That is code for a world without and certainly schools

1735
01:54:03,880 --> 01:54:05,160
Speaker 1: without police.

1736
01:54:04,720 --> 01:54:06,599
Speaker 2: Officers at all.

1737
01:54:07,479 --> 01:54:18,400
Speaker 1: Congratulations, MPs, job well done. Just a couple of minutes

1738
01:54:18,520 --> 01:54:21,479
Speaker 1: left here On the Dan O'donnald show, people have been

1739
01:54:22,400 --> 01:54:26,720
Speaker 1: asking why I've been joking all show about.

1740
01:54:26,479 --> 01:54:27,800
Speaker 2: The trees exploding.

1741
01:54:29,840 --> 01:54:37,280
Speaker 1: Extreme cold often prompts trees to crack or split dramatically,

1742
01:54:38,160 --> 01:54:43,080
Speaker 1: and it's like the sap inside them expands, so it

1743
01:54:43,160 --> 01:54:47,120
Speaker 1: freezes rapidly and water expands as it turns to ice.

1744
01:54:47,240 --> 01:54:52,840
Speaker 1: Same thing happens with most liquids, and because of that expansion,

1745
01:54:53,400 --> 01:54:58,360
Speaker 1: you get the cracking inside the trees, and it can

1746
01:54:58,600 --> 01:55:02,360
Speaker 1: happen that this happens so quickly and so dramatically. There's

1747
01:55:02,400 --> 01:55:06,440
Speaker 1: like a flash freeze where you can actually have trees

1748
01:55:06,520 --> 01:55:11,360
Speaker 1: that you need to get to like minus one hundred

1749
01:55:11,840 --> 01:55:15,520
Speaker 1: for that to happen. Remember, it's gonna be about minus

1750
01:55:15,600 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 1: two on Friday. That's gonna be our temperature. It's the

1751
01:55:18,240 --> 01:55:21,440
Speaker 1: wind chill that's going to take us down. The feels

1752
01:55:21,600 --> 01:55:25,280
Speaker 1: like temperature is going to get down to minus forty.

1753
01:55:25,480 --> 01:55:29,000
Speaker 1: So you may see some cracking, you may see some

1754
01:55:29,360 --> 01:55:33,200
Speaker 1: splitting in trees, but you are not going to see

1755
01:55:34,360 --> 01:55:38,240
Speaker 1: trees spontaneously explode. And that's sort of become a meme

1756
01:55:38,320 --> 01:55:41,200
Speaker 1: on social media today that the trees are going to

1757
01:55:41,280 --> 01:55:44,000
Speaker 1: explode because it's going to get so cold.

1758
01:55:43,760 --> 01:55:44,760
Speaker 2: In the Upper Midwest.

1759
01:55:44,760 --> 01:55:46,480
Speaker 1: It most certainly is not, but it is going to

1760
01:55:46,520 --> 01:55:49,920
Speaker 1: be very cold. Stay warm, Wisconsin. We'll talk to you

1761
01:55:49,960 --> 01:55:58,160
Speaker 1: again tomorrow right here on the Dan o'donald's show.
