We'll explain why this 22 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: is entirely provably political theater Coming up in just a second. 23 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: Still no sign of Nancy Guthrie, but a local attorney 24 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: and great friend of the Dan o'donnald Show is putting 25 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: up his own money in the search for Nancy in 26 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: the hopes that she will be found soon. The unsung 27 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 1: hero of the day coming up in the four o'clock hour, 28 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: Secretary of State Marco Rubio earning high praise for his 29 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: must hear speech over the weekend at the Munich Security Conference, 30 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,919 Speaker 1: while Congresswoman aoc Yap not so much. All the details 31 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: coming up in the five o'clock hour, The Ai Revolution 32 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: isn't coming, folks, it is already here. One of the 33 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: more debated and influential recent article explains what it means 34 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: for you. We'll discuss coming up at about four to 35 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 1: twenty five. And finally, some sad news. Legendary actor Robert 36 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: Duval has died, most famous for his starring roles in 37 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: The Godfather and Apocalypse. Now he was ninety five years old. 38 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: The Spring Primary is tomorrow, and The Dan O'Donnell Show 39 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: is hard at work putting together our ultimate Conservative voter 40 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: guide for the Spring election, which is scheduled for April seventh, 41 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: believe it or not, Absentee ballots start getting mailed out 42 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: for the general election on Saint Patrick's Day March seventeenth, 43 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: then the week after that, March twenty fourth, in person 44 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: early voting begins before the final day what we used 45 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: to call election day on April seventh, the first Tuesday 46 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: after the first Monday in April, head line by the 47 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: State Supreme Court race pitting Maria Lazarre against left winger 48 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: Chrissy Taylor. Look, most people, including those who don't really 49 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: follow state politics that closely, know who's on the ballot 50 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: for State Supreme Court. This year is not quite the 51 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: high stakes, high profile race as last year when control 52 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: of the court ideologically was at stake, But in those 53 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: smaller races, in the local races that nonetheless mean a 54 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: whole lot. We understand here at the Dan O'Donnell Show 55 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: that oftentimes the biggest barrier to people going out and 56 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: casting their ballot is simply not knowing who's on the ballot, 57 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: not knowing who aligns with their vision, with their values, 58 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: who they can confidently cast their ballot for. That's where 59 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: we come in. We are aiming to include a county 60 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: by county guide for all seventy two counties in Wisconsin, 61 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: where we are putting together a list of every single 62 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: conservative candidate, from the state Supreme Court to the Court 63 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: of Appeals, all the way down to local school board 64 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: village trustee. This is where you can help us. If 65 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: you are a conservative candidate, if you are someone who 66 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 1: knows a conservative candidate or knows a little something about 67 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: local politics, especially if you are connected to your local 68 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: county Republican Party, or if you are a member or 69 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: chairman of your local county Republican Party and you have 70 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: a working knowledge of who it is that's running. Let 71 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: us know who the Conservatives are if you can include 72 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: the county. First of all, your name. I actually had 73 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,679 Speaker 1: a couple of candidates, God bless their hearts, who emailed 74 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: me over the weekend and gave me every bit of 75 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: information about them except their name. I was actually able 76 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: to piece both of them together based on their email 77 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: address and what it was they were running for. But 78 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: please do include your name. That's kind of an important thing. 79 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: Give me your name, give me the position sought, say, 80 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: village trustee for the village of I don't know Dantown 81 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: Village Trustee District number one. Give me the county that 82 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: you are in, because remember we are breaking this down 83 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: by county and email me atdod at iHeartMedia dot com. 84 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: DoD at iHeartMedia dot com. We are going to be 85 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: putting out this digital guide. Trust me, you are going 86 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: to know exactly where it is. It is going to 87 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: be part of a broader conservative initiative that we are 88 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: launching in conjunction with the start of the election cycle 89 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 1: when mail in ballots start going out right around Saint 90 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: Patrick's Day. There is going to be a place where 91 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: this can go online and you are going to hear 92 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: about it right here. It's not going to be a 93 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: physically printed guide. The idea is everybody can access this 94 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: via their phone. There is going to be a county 95 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: by county map and every time you click on a county, 96 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: you are going to get a complete list of your 97 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: conservative candidates, the candidates that we have taken a look at. 98 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: We're doing this in conjunction with a number of county 99 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: Republican parties, most notably the Great Waukeshaw County Republican Party, 100 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: which has its absolutely fantastic WISS Red Initiative. We'll be 101 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: talking with Terry Dietrich as we always do as we 102 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: try to get this statewide. I'm sort of hoping that 103 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: the Conservative Voter Guide is the first step in adopting 104 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: this program, which isn't just a voter guide for Waukeshaw County. 105 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: It is also a full service shop where you get 106 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: support from the county party, you get candidate manuals, you 107 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: just get all sorts of assistance, and I have been 108 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: begging the powers that be to expand this statewide. Hopefully 109 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: the ultimate Conservative Voter Guide that we're putting together here 110 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: at the Dan O'Donnell Show is the first step. Again, 111 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: you are a conservative candidate, you know a conservative candidate, 112 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: let me know about them, DoD at iHeartMedia dot com. 113 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: Democrats have shut down the government. Do not let anybody 114 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: convince you otherwise. This is a Democrat shutdown for the 115 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: second time in two weeks. Democrats have allowed the government 116 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: to shut down. And this is entirely political theater because 117 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: they know Republicans will get blamed. Well, how as they 118 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: asked during the first government shut down that they launched 119 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: during Trump's second term this past fall, how can we 120 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: be responsible when Republicans control both houses of the Congress 121 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: as well as the presidency, well, because we have the filibuster, 122 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: and if a funding mechanism cannot pass the filibuster, then 123 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: the government shuts down. And that's exactly what happened here. 124 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: Senator Markkwain Mullen on CNN's State of the Union over 125 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: the weekend proved definitively how this latest shutdown, which does 126 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: actually figure to go a lot longer, at least through 127 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: President Trump's State of the Union address. It might not 128 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: go forty three days, the longest government shut down in 129 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: American history that we had in late October and pretty 130 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: much throughout November, but it is going to go on 131 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: for a long time. Why because Democrats believe this is 132 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: good strategy. In front of a stunned Jake Tapper yesterday morning, 133 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:37,359 Speaker 1: Senator Mullen gave the timeline of just how Democrats deliberately 134 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: delayed giving a counter offer to the Republican Senate as 135 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: well as the Trump administration for funding for the Department 136 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security. 137 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: What has happened is they haven't negotiating good faith. 138 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: When they wanted to do. 139 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: This two week cr we asked for six weeks. They 140 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 3: asked for two weeks, we said, okay. It took them 141 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 3: ten days before they gave us a count offer. White 142 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 3: House return and offer in forty eight hours. They it 143 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,719 Speaker 3: took them another two days to rest. And then when 144 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: we asked, okay, listen, we're going to go in the shutdown, 145 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 3: Let's have two more weeks of a clean SAR because 146 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 3: it took you guys ten days to give us just 147 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 3: a counter offer. What they said is no, we're not 148 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 3: doing it. 149 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: No, we're not going to give you a counter offer 150 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: because they want the government shut down, and they want 151 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: it shut down at least through the State of the Union. Politico, 152 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: one of the most influential inside the Beltway publications that 153 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: there is, sort of gave the game up with a 154 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: Friday article. President Donald Trump is barreling ahead with his 155 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: first State of the Union address of his second term, 156 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: despite concerns among Republicans that it's set to hit during 157 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: a partial government shutdown. The speech, set for eleven days 158 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: from now, is poised to land in the middle of 159 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: a funding lapse at the Department of Homeland Security, the 160 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: product of a standoff with Democrats over immigration enforcement that 161 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: the White House had hoped to avoid. Behind the scenes, 162 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: some administration officials and senior Capitol Hill Republicans are quietly 163 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: fretting a about the optics. According to six people granted 164 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: anonymity to describe private conversations, the concerned Republicans believe it 165 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: would be less than ideal for Trump to stand in 166 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: the well of the House and declare that the state 167 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: of the Union is strong when a critical part of 168 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: the federal government remains shuttered. It doesn't exactly scream a 169 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: functioning GOP trifecta, said one House Republican granted anonymity to 170 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: speak candidly. And that's the point to force President Trump 171 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: to give his first State of the Union address. Remember 172 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: last year, In the first couple of months or first 173 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: couple of weeks after a new president is inaugurated, it's 174 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: not considered a State of the Union. It's an address 175 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: to a joint session of Congress. Functionally, it is the 176 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: exact same type of speech. But they want him to 177 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: say the state of the Union is strong when the 178 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: federal government is partially shut down. Now, as we know, 179 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: because Democrats have shut down the government so many times 180 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: over the past few years, most of government stays open 181 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: it is only a very small portion of the federal 182 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: government that shuts down. Now, why is it that Democrats 183 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: have explicitly stated that they want the government shut down, 184 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: that they can't possibly fund the Department of Homeland Security. 185 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: It's because Ice and it's heavy handed tactics and its 186 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: massed Gestapo brown shirts who are killing American citizens in 187 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: American cities. Right, it's all about ice funding. It's all 188 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: about Ice funding. Well, as Senator Mullen again explained, it's 189 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: not really about Ice funding because the One Big Beautiful 190 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: Bill funded Ice through the end of Trump's turn Ice. 191 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 3: In the Border patrol is funded through the One Big 192 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 3: Beautiful Bill up until twenty twenty eight. 193 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 2: And so the only thing to have shut down. 194 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 3: Is a federal agencies that I named Mike, FEMA and 195 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 3: the Coastguard and TSA. So they're shutting down thousands of 196 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,199 Speaker 3: workers for nothing but a talking point. 197 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: That's exactly it. What ultimately are they shutting down the 198 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: government for. Well, they're clearly going to do another clean 199 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: cr which is a continuing resolution, And what is meant 200 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: by clean is that there's no other policy initiatives added 201 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: to the bill. It simply funds at existing levels or 202 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: makes an adjustment for inflation. But there's no policy, there's 203 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: no sort of poison pill. There's no reason that anybody 204 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: would ever vote against it. The clean CR is what 205 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: typically ends shutdowns. You might remember that during the fall, 206 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: Democrats refuse to vote for a clean CR and then 207 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: tried to say with a straight face that it's Republicans 208 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: who have shut down the government. So what ultimately is 209 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: this really about. It's about fomenting the exact same strategy 210 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: that we saw in Minneapolis, the exact same strategy that 211 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: we saw throughout the Summer of Love twenty twenty. It 212 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: is about giving the American people the perception, falsely that 213 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: the country is spiraling out of control under Republican leadership. 214 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with any sort of funding 215 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: priority or any sort of actual concern about the Department 216 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security. If it was, they would have tried 217 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: to do this stunt ahead of the passage of the 218 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: One Big Beautiful Bill. Remember they were screeching about ICE's 219 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: conduct back then when it was passed. In the run 220 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: up to the One Big Beautiful Bill in early summer, 221 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: they were actually rioting in the streets of Los Angeles. 222 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: You had a Congresswoman, La Monica McIver actually attempt to 223 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: storm an ICE facility and attack a federal officer. She 224 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: now faces federal criminal charges for that. That was in 225 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: New Jersey. So it's not as though Democrats didn't have 226 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: an issue with ICE back then, But now that there 227 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: was an agreement that essentially ended all of the rioting 228 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: and all of the attacks on ICE agents in Minneapolis, 229 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: Democrats need a new way to try to show the 230 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: American people that the Trump administration is presiding over a 231 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: whole lot of chaos. We just had an absolutely spectacular 232 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: CPI report Core CPI Consumer Price Index that was released 233 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: on Friday shows that the typical inflation that strips out 234 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: the more volatile food and energy prices, is at its 235 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: lowest level since March of twenty twenty one, which is 236 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: critical because that was the month before inflation started to 237 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: spike because of Biden's disastrous fiscal policies starting to take effect, 238 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: most notably the nearly two trillion dollar stimulus that just 239 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: injected a whole lot of money into the economy that 240 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: was mostly spent on government entities and created basically a 241 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: competition between government and the private sector for scarce resources, 242 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: the very definition of inflation. Not only that Democrats are 243 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: forced to turn the idea of the Dow being at 244 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: fifty thousand into some sort of a joke. Remember when 245 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, said, look, Democrats are focused 246 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: on the Epstein list because the Dow is at fifty thousand. 247 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: They've turned that into a joke. She's absolutely right. The 248 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: Epstein files were again part of this exact same strategy 249 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: to try to get the idea in the American people's 250 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: heads that the president is somehow a pedophile protector or 251 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: a pedophile himself. It's nonsensical on its face. And I 252 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: don't know if you were paying attention, but Thomas Massey, 253 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: the alleged Republican congressman from Kentucky who said he was 254 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: going to unmask along with Roe Kanna, the Democrat Congressman 255 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: of California. He was going to unmask and he was 256 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: going to read into the Congressional record some of the 257 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: names of Jeffrey Epstein's co conspirators that the Justice Department 258 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: had unfairly and unreasonably redacted. Do you know the four 259 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: names that he read on the floor of the Congress. 260 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: They were just four people who happened to be in 261 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: a criminal lineup with Jeffrey Epstein. In other words, they 262 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: were four people completely unrelated to Epstein or any of 263 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: his crimes. They were just in a lineup so an 264 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: alleged victim could point out Jeffrey Epstein in a lineup. 265 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: I think everybody has watched enough Cops and Robbers shows 266 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: going back to dragnet to know how a lineup works. 267 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: This is the straw that they are now grasping at 268 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: and now realizing that the single best thing to happen 269 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: to them politically was those riots in Minneapolis to try 270 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: to make it seem like the people were valiantly rising 271 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: up against the heavy hand of the draconian Trump administration's 272 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: immigration crackdown. They've lost that because even though they're claiming 273 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: and Mayor Jacob Frye and Governor Tim Buffoon Walls are 274 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: going on television claiming victory, they know that that was 275 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: a big loss, allowing Ice to go into jails across 276 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: the state of Minnesota and simply pluck out once there 277 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: is a hit for a dangerous criminal illegal alien said 278 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: alien from custody where it's very easy and you can 279 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: do so with animal resources, because remember the alien is 280 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: unarmed and is already going to be cuffed, and just 281 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: hand it over on a silver platter. It makes mass 282 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: deportations far easier and more effective. It was instead a 283 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,719 Speaker 1: huge win for the Trump administration to get that simple concession. 284 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: Now Democrats don't have the optic, so people rioting in 285 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: the streets against the Trump administration every day, So how 286 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: can they again try to show and know full well 287 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: that the traditional news media is going to back them 288 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: and planting this narrative that the Trump administration has no 289 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: control and that it is a governing mess by shutting 290 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: down the government. And a big reason they want the 291 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: government shut down as well is to prevent passage of 292 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: the Save Act. We debunk every lie about that. Coming 293 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: up next, Conservative Thought, not just talk. It is the 294 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: Dan o'dunald Show. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is really 295 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 1: diggin in on this Jim Crow two point zero narratives. 296 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 4: What they are proposing in this so called say that 297 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 4: is like Jim Crow two point zero. They make it 298 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 4: so hard to get any kind of voter id that 299 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 4: more than twenty million legitimate people, mainly poorer people and 300 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 4: people of color will not be able to vote under 301 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 4: this law. 302 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 2: We will not let it pass in the Senate. 303 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: We are fighting at tooth and nail. 304 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 4: It's an outrageous proposal, that is, you know, that shows 305 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 4: the sort of political bias of the MAGA right. They 306 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 4: don't want poor people to vote. They don't want people 307 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 4: of color to vote because they often don't vote for them. 308 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: You know what's actually kind of amazing is for much 309 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: of the history of the Democrat Party that was sort 310 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: of their actual strategy. They did not want minorities to vote, 311 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: especially freed black men, because those freed black men would 312 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: vote for Republicans. You might remember the party of Jim 313 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: Crow one point zero was the Democrats. Schumer has been 314 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: on a one man crusade to try to stop what 315 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: eighty six percent of Americans want, simple common sense election security. 316 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: Even seventy one percent of Democrats want photo ID to vote. Now, 317 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: is it really so much of a stretch to say 318 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: that not only should you be able to prove who 319 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: you are, you should also have to prove that you're 320 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: actually an American citizen. Since so many different states, so 321 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: many different jurisdictions, have insisted upon giving driver's licenses to 322 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: illegal aliens that look identical to those given to citizens, 323 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: including here in the United States, or excuse me, including 324 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: here in Wisconsin. We don't give illegal aliens driver's licenses, 325 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: at least we don't think we are. But people who 326 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: are not otherwise authorized to vote in Wisconsin's elections are 327 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: getting what are known as non domiciled driver's licenses that, 328 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: save for a time chiny little line, which is easily 329 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: missible in a cursory scan of the license, says non domicile. 330 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: It looks identical to the driver's license that an American 331 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: citizen and someone who is authorized to vote in Wisconsin 332 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: would get. The reality is the SAVE Act is completely constitutional. 333 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: Citizenship is already required to vote, and all this does 334 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: is add a verification step, and it's not overly burdensome 335 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: because it's very easy to prove that you're an American citizen. 336 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: First of all, the elections Clause Article one, Section four, 337 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: Clause one of the Constitution, known as the time, place 338 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: and Manner Restriction, says that, Yes, the time, place, and 339 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: manner of holding elections for senators and representatives shall be 340 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: prescribed in each state by the legislature thereof what that 341 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: means in plain English, is that each state does get 342 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: to set how it holds elections for its senators and 343 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: for its representatives to the Congress. But there's a second 344 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: part of this clause. But the Congress may at any time, 345 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: by law make or alter such regulations, except as to 346 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: the places of choosing senators. What that means in plain 347 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 1: English is that Congress ultimately has the authority over federal elections. Yes, 348 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: we give states autonomy because back then, back in the 349 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: days of the framing of the Constitution, there really were 350 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: massive differences in the states and how you would be 351 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: able to vote it in terms of sheer geography. And yes, 352 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: we do want the states to have autonomy. But what 353 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: the SAVE Act is is perfectly constitutional. Under that second 354 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: part of the election clause, the Congress may at any time, 355 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: by law make or alter such regulations. All the SAVE 356 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: Act does is to essentially alter and amend the National 357 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: Voter Registration Act of nineteen ninety three, more commonly known 358 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: as the Motor Voter Law. All it does is at 359 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: a requirement for a document that proves your United States 360 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: citizen when you go to register for federal elections. Now, 361 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: the Constitution already implicitly requires that you are a citizen 362 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: in order to vote, especially in the Fourteenth Amendment, which 363 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: explicitly defines citizenship. Meanwhile, ever since the Illegal Immigrant Reform 364 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: and Immigrant Responsibility Act of nineteen ninety six, federal law 365 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 1: has explicitly prohibited non citizens from voting in federal elections, 366 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 1: making it a crime punishable by prison time as well 367 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: as fines and potential deportation. Why would we not want 368 00:22:54,600 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: a law that mandates proof of citizenship if we're already saying, hey, 369 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: it's completely against the law to be a non citizen 370 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: and vote. Now, the Supreme Court has actually weighed in 371 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: on whether or not a voter ID law or some 372 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: sort of verification requirement similar to proof of citizenship is 373 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 1: unduly burdensome and thus actually akin to Jim Crow two 374 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: point zero two thousand and eight decision called Crawford the 375 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 1: Marion County Election Board, the Court upheld a photo ID 376 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: law in Indiana, saying it was constitutional even though it was, 377 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: according to Democrats who opposed it, a burden on voters. 378 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: What the court did was hold a balancing test and 379 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: say the state's interest in election integrity outweighed the minimal 380 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: burden on the individual to get a driver's license or 381 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: to be able to find some document to prove who 382 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,479 Speaker 1: they are. And that is ultimately what this is about. 383 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: It is rem remarkably easy to be able to prove 384 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: that you are an American citizen. First of all, the 385 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: Save Act does not, and I repeat, does not, require 386 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: you to prove you're a citizen every time you vote. 387 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 1: Democrats have made it sound like you need to bring 388 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: your birth certificate every time you go to the polls. 389 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: That is not true. Only when you register to vote 390 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: in a federal election. Do you have a passport? If so, 391 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: you're like about fifty percent of American citizens who do 392 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: hold a valid one. That's roughly one hundred and sixty 393 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: nine different people according to State Department data. You're done, 394 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: that's it. Just show your passport. Badabing, bada boom, that's it. 395 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: If you don't have a passport, you've got a birth certificate. 396 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: Everybody does. Well. I don't know where it is, dan, 397 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: Sure you do. It is in your vital records office 398 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: in your birth state. You can get it online, you 399 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: can get it mailed to you, you can go pick 400 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: it up. Usually it's about ten to twenty dollars or 401 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: so maybe a little more thirty forty dollars for just 402 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: a minimal processing fee. Not only that, if you are 403 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: someone who is still too incompetent to be able to 404 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: figure out how to get a birth certificate. And remember, 405 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 1: every single berth is on record here in the United 406 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 1: States save for some very very rare exceptions, which I'll 407 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: get to in a second. But if you're one of 408 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: those exceptions, if you are one of the estimated two 409 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 1: percent of eligible voters who don't have a passport and 410 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: their birth certificate is gone. Usually these are very very 411 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: old people who are in very small communities. In fact, 412 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: my wife's own grandmother, Nini, had her birth certificate destroyed. 413 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: She lived to the ripe old age of one hundred 414 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: and four, died in I believe twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. 415 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: She actually, if you can believe it or not, did 416 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: not know her actual age because she started lying about 417 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: it to get a job, so she pretended she was 418 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: either older or younger I can't remember which, and then 419 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: totally forgot in her old age how old she actually was. Well, 420 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 1: her birth certificate was destroyed in a fire, so okay, 421 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: she would be one of those two percent. Of people 422 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 1: who wouldn't be able to get a birth certificate. For 423 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: those people, the bill explicitly requires states to establish some 424 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 1: sort of alternative process for applicants who don't have these 425 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: documents to either a test under penalty of perjury that 426 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 1: they're a US citizen. That's actually remarkably similar to the 427 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: current federal registration form. So you just sign an attestation 428 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: say I do declare, under penalty of perjury that I 429 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 1: am an American citizen. You're done. You can also submit 430 00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: other documentary evidence, maybe something from the Social Security Administration, 431 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: maybe something from the Department of Homeland Security. Again, we're 432 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: talking about two percent of people in this country who 433 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: don't have either a passport or a birth certificate or 434 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: don't have easy access to them. So just to recap, 435 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: if you have a passport, you just show your passport 436 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: during your voter registration. For most everybody else, just request 437 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: a birth certificate online or by mail. In fact, almost 438 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: every state has expedited service. And you'd better believe if 439 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: this bill becomes a law, as it looks like it's 440 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: going to. By the way, because the fiftieth Republican Susan 441 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: Collins of Maine has signed on to it. Only a 442 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: tiny handful of Republicans, including the truly awful Lisa Murkowski 443 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: of Alaska, have said that they're not going to support 444 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: this bill. With Collins signing on, if there is any 445 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: sort of reform to the filibuster rule, this bill will pass. 446 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 1: And that's why Democrats are so terrified of it, and 447 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: that's why Chuck Schumer is using increasingly apocalyptic language to 448 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: describe it. So, if you don't have a passport, just 449 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: request a birth certificate. Once the bill passes, you will 450 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: be able to get birth certificates instantly if you actually 451 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: have one, the process will be so expedited. And this 452 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: is very similar to say getting your driver's license renewed, 453 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,719 Speaker 1: or you apply for a job, you need to submit 454 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: a background check. I need to submit a background check 455 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: before every soccer season, or if I'm going to be 456 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: coaching rec League baseball, if the rec League Baseball league 457 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: requires more documentation from me and everybody who runs the 458 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: league knows who I am because I've been coaching forever, 459 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: they still require a background check. Don't you think we 460 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: should require a similar sort of background check that isn't 461 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: looking at whether or not you've got outstanding warrants, but 462 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: rather whether or not you are an American citizen. So 463 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: for the tiny, tiny minority of people who don't have 464 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: access to any of these documents, you can still vote 465 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: through this alternative process. All you need to do, most 466 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: likely is to attest that you are an American citizen 467 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: and then guess what. You're probably not ever going to 468 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: face any sort of complications after that. You're listening to 469 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show. Welcome back to the Dan o'donald Show, 470 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: Classical Conservatism and contemporary style. Hopefully we give you both 471 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: three hours a day, every single day. And if you 472 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: can't tune in to all three hours, first of all, 473 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: shame on you. What are you doing with your life? 474 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: We're kidding, of course, be sure to described to the 475 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen 476 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: to podcasts. House Minority Leader Hakim Jeffries asked over the 477 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: weekend on Face the Nation about the massive increase in 478 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 1: attacks on ICE agents because of overheated Democrat rhetoric. Didn't 479 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: sound like he was especially concerned. 480 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 5: Assaults against ICE officers have gone up over thirteen hundred 481 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 5: percent this past year from about two hundred and seventy 482 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 5: five compared to nineteen the year before. So Dar I 483 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 5: list some legitimate concerns about those agents being targeted, but 484 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 5: your broader point about we're going to whether or not 485 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 5: law enforcement should behave the same as that law enforcement 486 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 5: is heard. 487 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 6: Yes, and we're going to continue, of course, to encourage 488 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 6: the American people to exercise their constitutional rights, their freedom 489 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 6: of assembly, and their freedom of speech and their freedom 490 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 6: of expression peacefully, as we saw overwhelmingly done in Minneapolis 491 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 6: once again. 492 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: Well, first of all, overwhelmingly peaceful. In Minneapolis, you had 493 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: one of the two people who was shot and killed 494 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: by federal agents attempting to block ICE agents with her car, 495 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: and then she drove off at a high rate of speed, 496 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: which gave the officer reasonable fear that he was going 497 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: to be run over if he didn't use deadly force. 498 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: The second person, who was killed about ten days before 499 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 1: he was shot, can be seen kicking out the rear 500 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: tail light of an ICE vehicle and got so violent 501 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: that he was taken into custody. He was arrested, he 502 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: then violently resisted while he was armed. Once again, the 503 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: ICE agent not actually an ICE agent, by the way, 504 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 1: two Hispanic agents who were involved in the border patrol 505 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: scuffle with Alex pretty realized he had a gun and 506 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: that he could have potentially used said gun. Well, he 507 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 1: was violently resisting arrest. These were not people who were 508 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: peacefully assembling. These were not people who were peacefully coming 509 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: together to make their voices heard. I will once again 510 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: point out, does any Democrat, any single one in this 511 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: country believe that President Trump was not guilty of anything 512 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: that happened on January sixth, That he did not incite 513 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: an insurrection during his speech on January sixth, twenty twenty one, 514 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: that he was not therefore responsible for his followers going 515 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 1: into the capital and, according to liberals, committing the greatest 516 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: attack on American history, on American civilization, in this country's history. No, 517 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: of course, not just because he said, well, we now 518 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: know that you will go peacefully and patriotically to the 519 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: capital to make your voices heard. That's essentially what democrats 520 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: are doing. So if you believe that Trump does not 521 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: get to skate accountability for January sixth merely by saying 522 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: the magic words, Hey, we want you to be peaceful, 523 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: Democrats don't get to escape responsibility by constantly calling Ice 524 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: agents Nazis, by constantly saying that, in the words of 525 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: Minnesota's own Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, that you need to 526 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: put your bodies on the line. Look, I will go 527 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: back once again to an Axios article about just how 528 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: insane Democrat town halls had gotten over the summer, where 529 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 1: people were actually saying to Democrat lawmakers, to Democrat congressmen 530 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: and Democrat congress women, you need to be willing to 531 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: get shot during an anti ice protest. Do you want 532 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: to know why Democrats are at historically low levels of 533 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: favorability ratings. It's not because the broader American electorate has 534 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: turned on them. It's because their radical base has turned 535 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: on them because they're not nearly radical enough, because apparently 536 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: they're not willing to get Renee Gooded or Alex pretheed 537 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: in the middle of an ice protest. Do these sound 538 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: like people who are just making their voices heard peacefully? 539 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: Coming up next, the unhinged liberal of the day will 540 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: disavowue of any notion that these are peaceful people who 541 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: just want to protest and wave their banners. These are 542 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: violent crazies. Unhinged liberal coming up in just a second. First, 543 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: I received this email from Robin Hi. Dan. You seem 544 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: to think the only difficulty in providing a birth certificate 545 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: is someone too dumb to figure out how to obtain one. 546 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 1: What about all the people living in poverty or paycheck 547 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: to paycheck who can't afford a twenty five to thirty 548 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: five dollars fee. First of all, that's sort of not 549 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: the best argument, because twenty five to thirty five dollars 550 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: is not exactly someone living paycheck to paycheck. Twenty five 551 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 1: to thirty five dollars right now now is a meal 552 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: at McDonald's. Okay. Not only that, what we saw when 553 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: voter ide was passed here in Wisconsin is that the 554 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: state was actually required to provide free forms of identification 555 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: for that exact purpose. It is my understanding that a 556 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:22,520 Speaker 1: birth certificate would, by necessity, for those who can't afford 557 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,240 Speaker 1: to pay the processing fee, that fee would be waived, 558 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 1: so there isn't that barrier, but voting. Also, the argument 559 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: is specious in that it ignores that for someone who 560 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: is truly too poor to afford a twenty five dollars 561 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: processing fee, even though the processing fee for most birth 562 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,839 Speaker 1: certificates is actually closer to about ten bucks. You would 563 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: be able to verify your citizenship by attestation under penalty 564 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: of perjury, meaning if you are found later to be 565 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 1: lying about whether or not you're a citizen for the 566 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: purposes of complying with the Save Act, you could be 567 00:35:56,040 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 1: prosecuted for lying under. 568 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 7: Oh pre Nazi Germany. 569 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 2: Prof's dangerous because he's evil America. 570 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 1: Today's unhinged liberal of the day is this psychopath who 571 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: says it's perfectly fine to just shoot ICE agents. Now 572 00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: before the break, HOCKEYM Jeffrey's leader at Democrats in the 573 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 1: House said Hey, yeah, yeah, you know, we know about 574 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: all these attacks on ICE agents, but we support people 575 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: who just want to make their voices heard in protest. 576 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: Listen to this guy and tell me if he sounds 577 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,319 Speaker 1: like he just wants to protest. You can just kill 578 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: ICE agents. 579 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 2: You know that. 580 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: You can just kill them. 581 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,720 Speaker 8: They don't have to hold your phone in their face 582 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 8: and ask people when their birthday is and ask people 583 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 8: what their name is and then try to find wherever 584 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 8: they end up in Los Angeles. You can kill them. 585 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 8: This isn't about social media cloud anymore. This isn't about video, 586 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 8: This isn't about the phone. This is about get a 587 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 8: gun and start killing ice agents. They are deputized corrections officers, 588 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,720 Speaker 8: kill them. 589 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: Do not under any circumstances kill ice agents. Now, is 590 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 1: this the sort of person that Hakim Jeffries is talking 591 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: about that just wants to make their voice heard, that 592 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: just wants to you know, that just wants to peacefully protest. No, 593 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,919 Speaker 1: that is a truly deranged person. And despite their very 594 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: high pitched, likely hormone influenced voice, that was in fact 595 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 1: a man, and he is your unhinged liberal of the 596 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 1: day Daily Trump date is coming up next day. Tune 597 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,239 Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell's show back right after the news.

I met 601 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: up with a couple of buddies, so we went to 602 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: the driving range. Now the golf course is still too 603 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 1: soggy to open during the last couple of days of 604 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 1: spring like temperatures. Turns out that groundhog was full of 605 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: It feels like an early spring to me.

The 641 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: Department of Homeland Security remains in a partial shutdown and 642 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: made a fun impass. Most employees are working without pay. Well, 643 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 1: core operations like TSA screenings, border enforcement largely continue. ICE, 644 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: which Democrats have been targeting with this shutdown, is actually 645 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: fully funded through the One Big Beautiful Bill until the 646 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 1: end of twenty twenty eight. Borders are Tom Homan declaring 647 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: victory in Minneapolis after communities across Minnesota allowed ICE agents 648 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,520 Speaker 1: in jails to take criminal illegals into custody. 649 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 10: We need to flood the zone the sanctuaria cities with 650 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 10: additional agents. The number of agents depend on the situation 651 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 10: on the ground. How many known criminal targets are out 652 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 10: there because we know we have a promise sing suariz 653 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 10: cities because we know they're released in public safety threats 654 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 10: in the public. So rather than arrest not one criminal jail, 655 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 10: one agent, rust in one criminal alien the safety and 656 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,720 Speaker 10: security of a jail, which is safer for the agents, 657 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,439 Speaker 10: safer for the aliens, safer for the community, they release 658 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 10: them the street. Now they've got to send a whole 659 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 10: team or six or seven people. That is the win 660 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 10: we had in Minnesota. Everybody, because now we have agreements 661 00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 10: in coordination with jails, we can rest that public safety 662 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,080 Speaker 10: threat in the security of jail, which means we don't 663 00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 10: have to send six or seven people out to look. 664 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 1: For Homan says today, he hopes other sanctuary communities across 665 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 1: the country are paying attention to just how easily immigration 666 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: enforcement can be done with simple basic cooperation. 667 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 10: I'm hoping other sanctuary cities look at what was what 668 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,799 Speaker 10: happened in Minnesota and how we got to the place 669 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 10: reds which I think is a good place. I hope 670 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 10: more people pay attention to that we work with these 671 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 10: states to let our officers in the jail. 672 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,720 Speaker 1: The administration is ramping up its deportation efforts, reportedly planning 673 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: to spend over thirty eight billion dollars acquiring and converting 674 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: warehouses into large scale ice detention facilities that are capable 675 00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: of holding tens of thousands of illegals, including regional centers 676 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 1: and mega facilities. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is today 677 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,240 Speaker 1: reiterating that America is resolute in the defense of its borders, 678 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 1: even against legal immigrants who are hostile to American interest. 679 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,840 Speaker 11: My job at the State Department is if I identify 680 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 11: someone who I believe is president, someone who's who's a 681 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,800 Speaker 11: visitor a guest to the United States, and we identify 682 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,319 Speaker 11: that their presence in our country poses a threat to 683 00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 11: our foreign policy, to our national security, we're going to 684 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:19,480 Speaker 11: take the person's visa away. 685 00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 1: Rubio gave an absolutely incredible speech at the Munich Security 686 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: Conference over the weekend, and coming up in the five 687 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,280 Speaker 1: o'clock hour, we're going to dive into it in depth 688 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: and discuss the ideas presented therein about mass migration, culture, 689 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:36,720 Speaker 1: and civilization itself. That's coming up at about five oh six, 690 00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:40,040 Speaker 1: roughly one hour from now. President Trump's stating today is 691 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,800 Speaker 1: newly created Board of Peace has secured over five billion 692 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: dollars in pledges for Gaza reconstruction and stabilization, along with 693 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: thousands of personnel for security and policing. The pledges are 694 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,800 Speaker 1: set to be formally unveiled at the Board's inaugural meeting 695 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 1: later this week in Washington, D C. That, ladies and gentlemen, 696 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 1: your daily Trump date. Here at home, We have launched 697 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: the Ultimate Conservative voter Guide. The number one question I 698 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: get every single Spring election, every single April is Dan, 699 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 1: Who's on my ballot? 700 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 10: Dan? 701 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,800 Speaker 1: Who should I vote for? Well, we are putting together 702 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: a county by county guide for Conservatives in which we 703 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: will have as many conservative candidates as we can possibly 704 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:34,600 Speaker 1: find listed. It is going to be available online and 705 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,239 Speaker 1: it is going to be launched in conjunction with the 706 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,520 Speaker 1: mailing out of ballots ahead of the spring general election, 707 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 1: right around Saint Patrick's Day. I believe actually on Saint 708 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 1: Patrick's Day ballots start getting mailed out. That would be 709 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,360 Speaker 1: March seventeenth. Tomorrow, of course, is the spring primary. We 710 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 1: will have coverage. A lot of people do not have 711 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:58,840 Speaker 1: Spring races on the ballot tomorrow in the primary because 712 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: so many of those. If you vote for school board, 713 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,919 Speaker 1: for example, in the general election, it will simply say 714 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 1: vote for three of these six. So there's no real 715 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: need for a primary. And in fact, in spring elections, 716 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,760 Speaker 1: one of the big problems that conservatives have had, especially 717 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: in judicial races, in circuit court races, is that there 718 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,319 Speaker 1: simply are far too many governor evers appointees who are 719 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: running un opposed. In fact, in doing some research for 720 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:28,120 Speaker 1: the voter guide this morning, I was reminded of reporting 721 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 1: we did earlier this year in early January, about just 722 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 1: how many governor evers appointed judges in conservative deep red communities, 723 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: deep red counties are totally unopposed, and just what a 724 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 1: big failure this is. We need to be recruiting candidates. 725 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: So what we are doing is putting together a voter 726 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: guide so that you will know in every one of 727 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:55,920 Speaker 1: these counties who it is that the conservative candidate is, 728 00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,239 Speaker 1: Who is the candidate that's going to represent you, Who 729 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 1: is the candidate that is going to to stand up 730 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,480 Speaker 1: for your interests. Look, it's easy to tell who the 731 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: conservative is, or at least who the more conservative candidate is. 732 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 1: In a fall election, they have the r next to 733 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 1: their name as opposed to the d These are ostensibly 734 00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: nonpartisan elections, but they are still ideologically driven. The left 735 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:23,960 Speaker 1: has understood this forever. This is why teachers unions, labor unions, 736 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,919 Speaker 1: they have all put out voting guides. And since it's 737 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 1: rather inconsistent whether county parties will put out voter guides, 738 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: we have taken it upon ourselves. Here at the Dan 739 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,000 Speaker 1: o'donnald Show, I've got a small staff working together to 740 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 1: get as many names as possible. Here's where I need 741 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,000 Speaker 1: your help though. If you are a candidate for a 742 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 1: spring election, if you know a candidate, tell them to 743 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,280 Speaker 1: email me. Give me their name, give me the position 744 00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,040 Speaker 1: that they're running for, give me the county that they're in, 745 00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,760 Speaker 1: and let me know about them. DoD at iHeartMedia dot com. 746 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 1: Give me something that will prove their conservative bonafides. Website, 747 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 1: a platform, something like that, so we can start doing 748 00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 1: our vetting and include them. We have already gotten the 749 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: partnership with a number of Republican parties. Please, if you 750 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 1: are a county Republican party chair, if you are somebody 751 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 1: who's associated with your county party, please reach out to me. 752 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 1: Dood at iHeartMedia dot com. I am very likely this 753 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 1: week going to start reaching out to every single county 754 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:33,439 Speaker 1: party chair in this state to work with them on 755 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 1: candidate recommendations and to try to get a better handle 756 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 1: on who it is that's running again DoD at iHeartMedia 757 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,920 Speaker 1: dot com. We switch gears just a little bit because 758 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: economics and politics are indelibly intertwined, and coming up in 759 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 1: about ten minutes, we are going to talk about that 760 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 1: with one of the more talked about, influential and I 761 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:00,680 Speaker 1: believe must read articles of the past couple of weeks. 762 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 1: It came out late last week on X and I 763 00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 1: just we had so much breaking news last week, we 764 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,319 Speaker 1: had so many exclusive stories I didn't get a chance 765 00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,839 Speaker 1: to talk to it. But this is about as important 766 00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 1: a development civilization lee as we're going to ever have. 767 00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 1: And that is just what AI is capable of right now, 768 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,279 Speaker 1: just what it is going to be capable of in 769 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,160 Speaker 1: a very short amount of time. This is not one 770 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,480 Speaker 1: of those oh my gosh, you should all be terrified 771 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,520 Speaker 1: because AI is going to take every single one of 772 00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 1: our jobs, but you should be aware of what is 773 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,960 Speaker 1: on the horizon. I happen to be someone who is 774 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 1: of the belief that there are basically two types of 775 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 1: people in this world. There are Malthusians, right, people who 776 00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 1: follow Thomas Malthus, who believed that once the world hit 777 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 1: a certain critical mass of population, we would have mass starvation. 778 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,440 Speaker 1: And there are other people who believe and they were 779 00:47:56,480 --> 00:48:02,240 Speaker 1: proven correct. They're called cornicopian. They believe that the earth 780 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 1: is a cornucopia of resources and human ingenuity is able 781 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,239 Speaker 1: to use those resources to benefit all of us, and 782 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: that we will have exponentially more population growth without the 783 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,240 Speaker 1: disastrous effects that the Malthusians predicted. It is the exact 784 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 1: same thing with AI. I believe AI is going to 785 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:25,080 Speaker 1: be the single most revolutionary tool for human advancement that 786 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 1: we have ever seen. That includes the Internet, that includes hell, 787 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 1: that might include fire, and the development of fire was 788 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 1: pretty dog gone important. So joining us now to talk 789 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 1: about that, talk about the Federal Reserve, talk about the 790 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,360 Speaker 1: state of the nation's economy, and help you know the 791 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,880 Speaker 1: difference between financial advisors. He is doctor Brian Jacobsen. He 792 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 1: is the chief economic strategist at Annex Wealth Management. Brian, 793 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 1: how you doing today, my friend? 794 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:53,319 Speaker 6: Oh? 795 00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,840 Speaker 12: Fantastic. Hard not to be doing well when it's the scourgeous. 796 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,799 Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely, So where do you come down, just you 797 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 1: personally on the issue of AI. I know annex uses 798 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 1: at least some AI in analysis and that sort of thing. 799 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 1: I use AI in some of the research that I do, 800 00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 1: and I have found the technology to be revolutionary. Do 801 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,080 Speaker 1: you think this is going to be taking people's jobs 802 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,319 Speaker 1: or do you think it is going to be just 803 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 1: revolutionizing how people do their jobs and make them far 804 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: more productive. 805 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,200 Speaker 12: Sure, I think it can be all of the above, 806 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 12: and I think that on balance it's going to be 807 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 12: a great positive for society. There are going to be 808 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 12: adjustment costs. Now. I've been using artificial intelligence since gosh, 809 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 12: even when I was in grad school back in the 810 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,759 Speaker 12: early two thousands for dissertation work and looking at the 811 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:48,560 Speaker 12: mathematics of it, using it to estimate models and doing predictions. 812 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 12: I found it useful back then, but now it's just 813 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 12: made some significant leaps forward in terms of the sizes 814 00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,720 Speaker 12: of the models, the amount of data you had pointed 815 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 12: out about, you know, being bigger than the Internet. That's 816 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 12: because it's like built on the Internet in terms of 817 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,920 Speaker 12: all the information and other data sources as well. So 818 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,080 Speaker 12: I think it's going to be a net positive not 819 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,480 Speaker 12: to say that there aren't going to be some adjustment costs, 820 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:15,359 Speaker 12: but that is true of every technology. If you think 821 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,520 Speaker 12: about you know, the cotton gen you think about you know, 822 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:23,160 Speaker 12: the tractor, the automobile, computers, robotics, all that stuff. There 823 00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:27,360 Speaker 12: were people who got displaced, lost their jobs, but on 824 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 12: balance it was a positive. 825 00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it created entirely new economies, especially the internet, 826 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:38,040 Speaker 1: I mean the the the development of the automobile, I'm 827 00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,240 Speaker 1: assuming put a whole lot of coachmen out of business, 828 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:44,400 Speaker 1: but they learn to drive cars and and this is 829 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 1: that's right, it's you know, it's going to be I 830 00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:48,319 Speaker 1: I actually think, and there are there are a whole 831 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,800 Speaker 1: lot of people my son's age. I've got a senior 832 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,759 Speaker 1: in high school. He actually is is fascinated with AI technology. 833 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,920 Speaker 1: He uses AI technology not in school if any of 834 00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 1: his teachers are listening to write paper, but he I 835 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,279 Speaker 1: have been just like a task master on him and 836 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 1: his younger brother and his sister, saying, look you are 837 00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 1: you guys are going to need to use this all right, 838 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:13,279 Speaker 1: and the world is your oyster. If you can go 839 00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,800 Speaker 1: into some elder millennial like me who runs a company 840 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,080 Speaker 1: and says here, I can just revolutionize your workflow. I 841 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,359 Speaker 1: can get all of your graphic design done in an 842 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,640 Speaker 1: instant I can get all of your statistical analysis done 843 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,960 Speaker 1: in five minutes. You know, somebody like me, I'm like 844 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,279 Speaker 1: a baby boomer trying to figure out an iPhone when 845 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,960 Speaker 1: that came out. Okay, and if you know how to 846 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:40,719 Speaker 1: use this, far from generation Z and Generation Alpha just 847 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,839 Speaker 1: not having work, I think they're going to be more 848 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:47,719 Speaker 1: valuable in the workforce than almost anybody if they're able 849 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 1: to use these tools. 850 00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,359 Speaker 12: They are, and that's what we're finding with a lot 851 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,239 Speaker 12: of like our interns that come in, you know, they 852 00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 12: have had some exposure to it, and they're a little 853 00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:58,440 Speaker 12: bit more conversant in some of the technologies than some 854 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,759 Speaker 12: of the old fuddy duddies like myself. But I've been 855 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,440 Speaker 12: using the technology and trying to keep abreast of everything, 856 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 12: and I use it as part of my daily routine. 857 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 12: You pointed out the data analysis part almost like going 858 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,680 Speaker 12: through the drudgery, removing that from the work, trying to 859 00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 12: make it less about toil and more about doing something 860 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:18,960 Speaker 12: that's meaningful and value added for clients. 861 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 1: Well, what I've actually found is instead of having to 862 00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:27,680 Speaker 1: go through and say Okay, what percentage of this is relate? 863 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:31,760 Speaker 1: You know, It's like I can just say okay, AI, 864 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 1: and I use several of them. I've got paid subscriptions 865 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,440 Speaker 1: to like Chat, GPT, GROC. I mean, I get Groc 866 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:43,120 Speaker 1: as a premium user of X. And what I can 867 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,680 Speaker 1: do is say, Okay, what is the increase in the 868 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,200 Speaker 1: crime rate in the city of Milwaukee from nineteen sixty 869 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,560 Speaker 1: nine to twenty fifteen? Right, And instead of having to 870 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 1: actually dive through and I used to like add this 871 00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 1: stuff up by hand, I can actually say, Okay, here 872 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 1: are the relevant sources. AI. You just add this stuff up. 873 00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,960 Speaker 1: I mean it cuts off hours from my day and 874 00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,320 Speaker 1: it's it's actually remarkable. And are we seeing right now 875 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,200 Speaker 1: in markets? I mean you're sort of seeing I think 876 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,520 Speaker 1: a lot of the uncertainty in markets because nobody is 877 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,439 Speaker 1: quite sure what the dominant AI is going to be. 878 00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,280 Speaker 1: Am I kind of reading that correct? 879 00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 12: No, you're absolutely correct. I mean there are competing models, 880 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,319 Speaker 12: and it's also a question of what are you know, 881 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 12: what is the value add I think a lot of 882 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,920 Speaker 12: people recognize that, but then what is it going to 883 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 12: really be the value destroyer of? Like which business models 884 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,440 Speaker 12: are going to be destroyed because we all love progress. 885 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,759 Speaker 12: Nobody likes change. That's a Mark Twain quote, right, and 886 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,239 Speaker 12: you can use AI to. 887 00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: That great quote. I'll admit I sorry to interrupt, but 888 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, everybody likes progress, nobody likes change. That's fantastic. 889 00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,520 Speaker 1: I love it and it's so true. 890 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 12: But we saw that in the markets in terms of 891 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:56,839 Speaker 12: the sell offs because all of a since like, oh, okay, 892 00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:01,799 Speaker 12: it's going to be disruptive to like the software industry. Okay, disruptive, yes, 893 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,120 Speaker 12: is it going to destroy it? 894 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:03,359 Speaker 2: Though? 895 00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,759 Speaker 12: And that's where I think that the market narrative can 896 00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,080 Speaker 12: really get ahead of itself. And that's oftentimes what happens 897 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,160 Speaker 12: with the markets. You know, it overshoots to the upside, 898 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,319 Speaker 12: overshoots to the downside, throws the baby bath out, the 899 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 12: baby out with the bath water, and that's then what 900 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,839 Speaker 12: creates some opportunities where it's like, okay, well, who has 901 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,480 Speaker 12: like proprietary technology databases and is actually going to use 902 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,760 Speaker 12: this to get market share and add value for people 903 00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 12: over the long term. 904 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 1: He is doctor Brian Jacobson, the chief economic strategist at 905 00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 1: annex Anx Wealth Management. To tap into his expertise and 906 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 1: apparently I don't know if he was using the matrix 907 00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,440 Speaker 1: back in the early two thousands. You're using you're using 908 00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,000 Speaker 1: an AYI in the early two thousand. You have to 909 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 1: t one the houses. 910 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 12: I had to build my own. I had to build 911 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:50,440 Speaker 12: build my own all right. 912 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,239 Speaker 1: So if anybody is concerned about who's going to be 913 00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,759 Speaker 1: like taking over the world as the AI master, it's 914 00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,000 Speaker 1: probably going to be doctor Brian Jacobson. But to tap 915 00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:02,440 Speaker 1: into the into his expertise and a team that is 916 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,280 Speaker 1: working with and for you as a fee only Fiducia. 917 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,399 Speaker 1: They're not trying to sell you a product. They are 918 00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:10,080 Speaker 1: looking out for your future and the future of your 919 00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:15,239 Speaker 1: family financially. They are giving you the security that you need. 920 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 1: Annexwealth dot com get a free review of your portfolio. 921 00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,799 Speaker 1: Understand what it is you own, why you own it, 922 00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,040 Speaker 1: where it is you're going, what your goals are. They 923 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:28,920 Speaker 1: work with you, and more importantly, they work for you. 924 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 1: You're listening to the dano' donald show. The AI Revolution 925 00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 1: isn't coming. It's here. We'll discuss next conservative thought, not 926 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,640 Speaker 1: just talk. It is the dano'donald Show. And we go 927 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,440 Speaker 1: beyond just politics. And when I say we dive deeper 928 00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:50,600 Speaker 1: into the issues that truly matter to you. This is 929 00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,400 Speaker 1: one of them. The AI revolution isn't coming. It is 930 00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:59,560 Speaker 1: here easily. One of the most debated articles of probably 931 00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:04,040 Speaker 1: the past last year is entitled Something Big Is Happening 932 00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:08,600 Speaker 1: by Matt Schumer. It was published on x formerly Twitter. 933 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,640 Speaker 1: I've spent six years building an AI startup and investing 934 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,479 Speaker 1: in the space, he writes. I live in this world, 935 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,399 Speaker 1: and I'm writing this for the people in my life 936 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:18,640 Speaker 1: who don't my family, my friends, the people I care 937 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:22,040 Speaker 1: about who keep asking me, so what's the deal with AI? 938 00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 1: And getting an answer that doesn't do justice to what's 939 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:32,359 Speaker 1: actually happening. Think about it like this, he writes. Let 940 00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:35,680 Speaker 1: me make the pace of improvement in AI concrete, because 941 00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,800 Speaker 1: I think this is the part that's hardest to believe 942 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,319 Speaker 1: if you're not watching it closely, and folks, I have 943 00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:49,400 Speaker 1: been watching this incredibly closely. This is Matt Schumer. In 944 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:53,279 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, AI couldn't do basic arithmetic reliably. It 945 00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:57,040 Speaker 1: would confidently tell you that seven times eight is fifty 946 00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,399 Speaker 1: four by twenty twenty three. It could pass the Bar 947 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,840 Speaker 1: exam by twenty twenty four. It could write working software 948 00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,759 Speaker 1: and explain graduate level science. By late twenty twenty five, 949 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,399 Speaker 1: some of the best engineers in the world said they 950 00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,560 Speaker 1: had handed over most of their coding work to AI. 951 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,440 Speaker 1: On February fifth, twenty twenty six, new models arrived that 952 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,120 Speaker 1: made everything before them feel like a different era. If 953 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,560 Speaker 1: you haven't tried AI in the last few months, what 954 00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 1: exists today would be unrecognizable to you. Now I want 955 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:32,600 Speaker 1: to interject here with something that is going to sound 956 00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:37,280 Speaker 1: incredibly silly, but it is in fact the best gauge 957 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:42,600 Speaker 1: of how far AI models have come. Will Smith eating 958 00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:48,440 Speaker 1: spaghetti sounds crazy, right. I want you to imagine right now, 959 00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:52,560 Speaker 1: the actor Will Smith, Yes, the fresh prince eating spaghetti. 960 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:57,760 Speaker 1: What would that look like? Well, every single year, AI 961 00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 1: models are tested in form on social media by how 962 00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,880 Speaker 1: well they can produce a video of Will Smith eating spaghetti. 963 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:10,280 Speaker 1: The prompt is simple, give me a video of Will 964 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:16,880 Speaker 1: Smith eating spaghetti. If you doubt how far AI has adapted, 965 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,400 Speaker 1: I want you to compare and how far it has 966 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,800 Speaker 1: been advanced in just a very short amount of time. 967 00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 1: I want you to compare the twenty twenty two or 968 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti to 969 00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:32,600 Speaker 1: the one that just came out about a month ago. 970 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:38,240 Speaker 1: The ones that are coming out now. I want you 971 00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:41,880 Speaker 1: to look up Seed Dance two point zero. That is 972 00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:47,760 Speaker 1: a video production AI from China. I want you to 973 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:55,240 Speaker 1: google Brad Pitt versus Tom Cruise rooftop Fight. It's entirely 974 00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:59,320 Speaker 1: made with an AI. It looks almost entirely photo realistic. 975 00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:04,480 Speaker 1: Here's what Schumer writes. Here's the thing no one outside 976 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 1: of tech understands yet. The reason so many people in 977 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:11,080 Speaker 1: the industry are sounding the alarm right now is because 978 00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,680 Speaker 1: this already happened to us. We're not making predictions. We're 979 00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,800 Speaker 1: telling you what already occurred in our own jobs and 980 00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,520 Speaker 1: warning you that you're next. For years, AI had been 981 00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:24,280 Speaker 1: improving steadily, big jumps here and there, but each big 982 00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 1: jump was spaced out enough that you could absorb them 983 00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,400 Speaker 1: as they came. Then, in twenty twenty five, new techniques 984 00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 1: for building these models unlocked a much faster pace of progress. 985 00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 1: And then it got even faster, and then faster again. 986 00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,400 Speaker 1: Each new model wasn't just better than the last, it 987 00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 1: was better by a wider margin, and the time between 988 00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,720 Speaker 1: new model releases was shorter. I was using AI more 989 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:47,840 Speaker 1: and more, going back and forth with it less and 990 00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,840 Speaker 1: less and watching it handle things I used to think 991 00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:55,000 Speaker 1: required my expertise. Then, on February fifth, two major AI 992 00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 1: labs released new models on the same day, GPT five 993 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:02,640 Speaker 1: point three codex from Open AI and Opus four point 994 01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 1: six from Anthropic, the makers of Claude, one of the 995 01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:09,480 Speaker 1: main competitors to CHAT GPT and something click. Not like 996 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:12,120 Speaker 1: a light switch, more like the moment you realize the 997 01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,680 Speaker 1: water has been rising around you and is now at 998 01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 1: your chest. I am no longer needed for the actual 999 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,640 Speaker 1: technical work of my job. I describe what I want 1000 01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,960 Speaker 1: built in plain English and it just appears not a 1001 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:28,120 Speaker 1: rough draft. I need to fix the finished thing. I 1002 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,360 Speaker 1: tell the AI what I want, walk away from my 1003 01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,720 Speaker 1: computer for four hours, and come back to find the 1004 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,160 Speaker 1: work done, done well, done, better than I would have 1005 01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:38,400 Speaker 1: done it myself, with no corrections needed. A couple of 1006 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,680 Speaker 1: months ago, I was going back and forth with the AI, 1007 01:00:40,800 --> 01:00:43,280 Speaker 1: guiding it, making edits Now I just described the outcome 1008 01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:45,960 Speaker 1: and leave. Let me give you an example so you 1009 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:50,040 Speaker 1: can understand what this actually looks like in practice. I'll 1010 01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,040 Speaker 1: tell the AI I want to build this app. Here's 1011 01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 1: what it should do. Here's roughly what it should look like, 1012 01:00:57,360 --> 01:01:00,120 Speaker 1: figure out the user flow, the design, all of it. 1013 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,800 Speaker 1: And it does. It writes tens of thousands of lines 1014 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 1: of code. Then, and this is the part that would 1015 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:10,040 Speaker 1: have been unthinkable a year ago. It opens the app itself, 1016 01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:13,880 Speaker 1: It clicks through the buttons, It tests the features. It 1017 01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:17,680 Speaker 1: uses the app the way a person would. If it 1018 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,280 Speaker 1: doesn't like how something looks or feels, it goes back 1019 01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:23,960 Speaker 1: and changes it on its own. It iterates like a 1020 01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,800 Speaker 1: developer would, fixing and refining until it's satisfied. Only once 1021 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 1: it is decided the app meets its own standards, does 1022 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,840 Speaker 1: it come back to me and say it's ready for 1023 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 1: you to test. And when I test it, it's usually perfect. 1024 01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:41,600 Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating. That is what my Monday looked at 1025 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,880 Speaker 1: this week. But it was the model released last week 1026 01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:47,920 Speaker 1: GPT's five point three codex that shook me the most. 1027 01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:52,520 Speaker 1: It wasn't just executing my instructions. It was making intelligent decisions. 1028 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 1: It had something that felt for the first time like judgment, 1029 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,520 Speaker 1: like taste, the inexplicable sense of knowing what the right 1030 01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,600 Speaker 1: call is that people always said AI would never have. 1031 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,640 Speaker 1: This model has it or something close enough that the 1032 01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,680 Speaker 1: distinction is starting not to matter. I've always been early 1033 01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 1: to adopt AI tools, but the last few months have 1034 01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:17,680 Speaker 1: shocked me. These new AI models aren't incremental improvements. This 1035 01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:23,480 Speaker 1: is a different thing entirely. But I tried AI and 1036 01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:27,640 Speaker 1: it wasn't that good. I hear this constantly. I understand 1037 01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,280 Speaker 1: it because it used to be true. If you tried 1038 01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 1: chat GPT in twenty twenty three or early twenty twenty 1039 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,880 Speaker 1: four and thought this makes stuff up or this isn't 1040 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:39,800 Speaker 1: that impressive, you were right. Those early versions were genuinely limited. 1041 01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:43,240 Speaker 1: They hallucinated, They confidently said things that were nonsense. That 1042 01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:47,600 Speaker 1: was two years ago in AI time. That is ancient history. 1043 01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:52,000 Speaker 1: The models available today are unrecognizable from what existed even 1044 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,520 Speaker 1: three months ago. The debate over whether AI is really 1045 01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,640 Speaker 1: getting better or hitting a wall, which has been going 1046 01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,360 Speaker 1: on for over a year, is over. It's done. Anyone 1047 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:03,280 Speaker 1: still making that argument either hasn't used the current models, 1048 01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 1: has an incentive to downplay what's happening, or is evaluating 1049 01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:09,280 Speaker 1: based on an experience from twenty twenty four that is 1050 01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:12,880 Speaker 1: no longer relevant. I don't say that to be dismissive. 1051 01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:16,360 Speaker 1: I say it because the gap between public perception and 1052 01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:20,360 Speaker 1: current reality is now enormous, and that gap is dangerous 1053 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:24,480 Speaker 1: because it's preventing people from preparing. Part of the problem 1054 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:26,880 Speaker 1: is that most people are using the free version of 1055 01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,520 Speaker 1: AI tools. The free version is over a year behind 1056 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:33,880 Speaker 1: what paying customers have access to. Judging AI based on 1057 01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,800 Speaker 1: free tier chat GPT is like evaluating the state of 1058 01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:40,040 Speaker 1: smartphones by using a flip phone. The people paying for 1059 01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,320 Speaker 1: the best tools are actually using them daily for real work, 1060 01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:47,760 Speaker 1: and they know what's coming that Matt Schumer, something Big 1061 01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,880 Speaker 1: is happening, Ladies and gentlemen. I can tell you, as 1062 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:55,400 Speaker 1: someone who is using a high tier version of AI tools, 1063 01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:00,560 Speaker 1: everything he says is true. What is it mean for 1064 01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,280 Speaker 1: you? You're gonna want to hear this and it is coming 1065 01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:09,240 Speaker 1: up next here on the Dan O'Donnell Show. One of 1066 01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:13,880 Speaker 1: the most important things that you can read or hear 1067 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:19,720 Speaker 1: about is an article on the AI revolution. We started 1068 01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,880 Speaker 1: going over it in the last segment. It's by an 1069 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,520 Speaker 1: AI developer by the name of Matt Schumer, and it's 1070 01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:30,000 Speaker 1: called something Big is Happening. I should actually retweet it. 1071 01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:33,120 Speaker 1: I posted it last week and I was meaning to 1072 01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 1: talk about it for the past several days, but we 1073 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:39,480 Speaker 1: just had a whole lot of exclusive stories and breaking 1074 01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,080 Speaker 1: news last week, so I'm getting to it nowadays. Do 1075 01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:48,360 Speaker 1: not let that diminish its importance. Schumer gives a few 1076 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:52,439 Speaker 1: examples to make the idea that the AI revolution isn't 1077 01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:58,400 Speaker 1: just coming. It's not on some far flung sort of 1078 01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:03,240 Speaker 1: non tangible plan like at some point in the next decade. 1079 01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:05,880 Speaker 1: AI is going to do a whole lot of work 1080 01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:11,320 Speaker 1: that humans can do now it's doing so. Now, let 1081 01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:13,800 Speaker 1: me give you a few examples to make this tangible. 1082 01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:15,800 Speaker 1: Schumer rights, but I want to be clear these are 1083 01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,400 Speaker 1: just examples. This list is not exhaustive. If your job 1084 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,040 Speaker 1: isn't mentioned here, that does not mean it's safe. Almost 1085 01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 1: all knowledge work is being affected. Legal work. AI can 1086 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:28,920 Speaker 1: already read contracts, summarize case law, draft briefs, and do 1087 01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 1: legal research at a level that rivals junior associates. The 1088 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,880 Speaker 1: managing partner I mentioned isn't using AI because it's fun. 1089 01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:40,360 Speaker 1: He's using it because it's outperforming his associates on many tasks. 1090 01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:44,240 Speaker 1: I will here interject to tell you it does research 1091 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,760 Speaker 1: at a level. And folks, you listen to this show 1092 01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:48,640 Speaker 1: for a long time, you know I do a lot 1093 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:52,840 Speaker 1: of in depth legal research. I view having a law 1094 01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:56,840 Speaker 1: degree as being valuable because I can explain constitutional concepts 1095 01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 1: and legal concepts, hopefully in a way that a lot 1096 01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:03,440 Speaker 1: of people can understand. The law is what we do. 1097 01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:08,520 Speaker 1: The government is law, and I use AI constantly for 1098 01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:13,880 Speaker 1: this stuff. Financial analysis. You heard doctor Brian Jacobsen annex 1099 01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,160 Speaker 1: wealth management. They use it all the time, building financial models, 1100 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:21,320 Speaker 1: analyzing data, writing investment memos, generating reports. AI handles these 1101 01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:28,000 Speaker 1: competently and is improving fast writing and content marketing, copy reports, journalism, 1102 01:06:28,040 --> 01:06:30,600 Speaker 1: technical writing. The quality has reached a point where many 1103 01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:35,040 Speaker 1: professionals can't distinguish AI output from human work. This is correct, 1104 01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,520 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. I can tell you I can tell 1105 01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,880 Speaker 1: any one of my multiple AI models to write an 1106 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:44,440 Speaker 1: article about anything in the style of Dan O'Donnell, and 1107 01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:48,400 Speaker 1: it will actually sometimes fool me into thinking this was 1108 01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,520 Speaker 1: written by me. It has got my style down and 1109 01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:58,200 Speaker 1: it can spit out Donald's style articles instantly. Software engineering 1110 01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,000 Speaker 1: this is the field I know best. Tumor rights. A 1111 01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,640 Speaker 1: year ago, AI could barely write a few lines of 1112 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:06,400 Speaker 1: code without errors. Now it writes hundreds of thousands of 1113 01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:09,520 Speaker 1: lines that work perfectly. Large parts of the job are 1114 01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:13,720 Speaker 1: already automated, not just simple tasks, but complex multi day projects. 1115 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,200 Speaker 1: There will be far fewer programming roles in a few 1116 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,640 Speaker 1: years than there are today. And this actually is where 1117 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,320 Speaker 1: we are going to see the biggest outflow of human jobs. 1118 01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,360 Speaker 1: It is going to be encoding. It is going to 1119 01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:29,960 Speaker 1: be in software writing instead of having ten thousand coders. 1120 01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:33,680 Speaker 1: Oftentimes these are h one B visas or work that 1121 01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:40,760 Speaker 1: is outwardly outward migrated to India directly. Those jobs are 1122 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,440 Speaker 1: going to be gone, and those are going to come 1123 01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:46,520 Speaker 1: back to the United States in the form of five 1124 01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:50,680 Speaker 1: to ten coders to oversee the AI code, where in 1125 01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:53,200 Speaker 1: the past there would have been seventy five to one 1126 01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:57,840 Speaker 1: hundred coders actually writing the code. Medical analysis doctors are 1127 01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,720 Speaker 1: not going to be replaced, but in terms of medical analysis, 1128 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:06,040 Speaker 1: reading scans, analyzing lab results, suggesting diagnoses, reviewing literature, AI 1129 01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:11,800 Speaker 1: is approaching or exceeding human performance in several areas customer service. 1130 01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:16,639 Speaker 1: Genuinely capable AI agents, not the frustrating chatbots of five 1131 01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:21,240 Speaker 1: years ago, are being deployed now handling complex multi step problems. 1132 01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:27,000 Speaker 1: This is another area that has been outsourced to, say India. 1133 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,280 Speaker 1: Sri Lanka is another big call center hub. What if 1134 01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:34,080 Speaker 1: the call center people aren't actually people, but rather hyper 1135 01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:38,080 Speaker 1: advanced chatbots, many of whom you are already using. Whether 1136 01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:41,120 Speaker 1: or not you realize you are in the Do you 1137 01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,280 Speaker 1: want to know why whenever you call an eight hundred 1138 01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 1: number for customer service, they push you to the live assistant, 1139 01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:50,920 Speaker 1: because half the time the live assistant is not actually 1140 01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:54,080 Speaker 1: a person, it is an AI. A lot of people 1141 01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 1: find comfort in the idea that certain things are safe, 1142 01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 1: that AI can handle the gruntwork but can't replace human judgment, creativity, 1143 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:05,080 Speaker 1: strategic thinking, and empathy. I used to say this too. 1144 01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,679 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I believe it anymore. The most recent 1145 01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:12,840 Speaker 1: AI models make decisions that feel like judgment. They show 1146 01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,760 Speaker 1: something that looked like taste, an intuitive sense of what 1147 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:19,680 Speaker 1: the right call was, not just the technically correct one. 1148 01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,360 Speaker 1: A year ago that would have been unthinkable. My rule 1149 01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 1: of thumb at this point is if a model shows 1150 01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:28,559 Speaker 1: even a hint of a capability today, the next generation 1151 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:33,200 Speaker 1: will be genuinely good at it. These things improve exponentially, 1152 01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:38,600 Speaker 1: not linearly. Will AI replicate deep human empathy replace the 1153 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:41,120 Speaker 1: trust built over years of a relationship. I don't know, 1154 01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:44,280 Speaker 1: Maybe not, but I've already watched people begin relying on 1155 01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:48,960 Speaker 1: AI for emotional support, for advice, for companionship. That trend 1156 01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:53,000 Speaker 1: is only going to grow. I think the honest answer 1157 01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:55,599 Speaker 1: is that nothing that can be done on a computer 1158 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,639 Speaker 1: is safe in the medium term. If your job happens 1159 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,920 Speaker 1: on a screen, if the or of what you do 1160 01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:05,040 Speaker 1: is reading, writing, analyzing, deciding, communicating through a keyboard, then 1161 01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,840 Speaker 1: AI is coming for significant parts of this. The timeline 1162 01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:14,479 Speaker 1: is in someday, It's already started. Eventually robots will handle 1163 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,360 Speaker 1: physical work too. They're not quite there yet, but not 1164 01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,519 Speaker 1: quite there yet in AI terms, has a way of 1165 01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:25,480 Speaker 1: becoming here faster than anyone expects. That is Matt Schumer, 1166 01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:29,439 Speaker 1: he is an AI developer in a very influential piece 1167 01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,640 Speaker 1: called Something Big is Happening Now. Do I believe that 1168 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:37,160 Speaker 1: every job is going to be made obsolete by AI? 1169 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:41,400 Speaker 1: I do not. I believe, however, that you are going 1170 01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:44,840 Speaker 1: to see workplace disruption, that you are going to see 1171 01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,600 Speaker 1: a whole lot of jobs that have already been outsourced, 1172 01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:51,600 Speaker 1: as I said, call centers coding a whole lot of this, 1173 01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:55,360 Speaker 1: or replaced by H one B visas. Those are going 1174 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:57,759 Speaker 1: to be gone. Those are simply going to be gone. 1175 01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:03,360 Speaker 1: AI is going to take those In terms of legal analysis. 1176 01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,400 Speaker 1: Are you going to see some paralegals, some researchers lose 1177 01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:06,960 Speaker 1: their jobs? 1178 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:07,280 Speaker 2: Yes? 1179 01:11:07,360 --> 01:11:09,920 Speaker 1: Are you going to see junior associates lose their jobs? 1180 01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:12,760 Speaker 1: Very possibly? In fact, there was just a story out 1181 01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:16,439 Speaker 1: of Kenosha County where an attorney used AI to do 1182 01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:19,640 Speaker 1: some legal research. The judge was ticked about that and 1183 01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:25,280 Speaker 1: cited the attorney for this. You're already seeing it right now. 1184 01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:29,160 Speaker 1: What I am telling you is that I am ultimately 1185 01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:33,360 Speaker 1: a cornucopia, not an enthusiam when it comes to human achievement. 1186 01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:37,240 Speaker 1: I do not believe that AI is going to end 1187 01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,960 Speaker 1: human productivity. It is rather going to enhance it. That 1188 01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:44,480 Speaker 1: you are if you're able to learn how to effectively 1189 01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:46,559 Speaker 1: use this and right now, maybe I'm not talking to you, 1190 01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,679 Speaker 1: but I'm talking to your children and your grandchildren, those 1191 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:51,920 Speaker 1: of you who are entering the job market, or maybe 1192 01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:55,519 Speaker 1: you're at a career impasse. I'm telling you learn how 1193 01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 1: to use AI, practice how to use AI, use AI 1194 01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,600 Speaker 1: for creative work, Use AI to do things that you 1195 01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:05,559 Speaker 1: never thought that you yourself would be able to do. 1196 01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:09,840 Speaker 1: Get good at it, and I promise you you will 1197 01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:14,400 Speaker 1: be about the most marketable person in the job market 1198 01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:18,160 Speaker 1: of the future, hell, in the job market of today. 1199 01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:20,559 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Dan o'donald show. Coming up in 1200 01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:24,720 Speaker 1: just a second, we will name the unsung hero of 1201 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:26,920 Speaker 1: the day. Stay tuned. We're back before you know it. 1202 01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:28,559 Speaker 2: Folks. 1203 01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,439 Speaker 1: The point of that article is not to terrify everybody 1204 01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:34,559 Speaker 1: into thinking that you're not going to have a job 1205 01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:38,200 Speaker 1: in six months. It's that just like with the Internet, 1206 01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:42,320 Speaker 1: just like with every major technological revolution, going back to 1207 01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:46,240 Speaker 1: the Industrial Revolution, going back to the advent of mass 1208 01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:50,479 Speaker 1: production and the assembly line, human beings have had to adapt. 1209 01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:55,320 Speaker 1: And right now we stand at the precipice of potentially 1210 01:12:56,520 --> 01:13:00,000 Speaker 1: a level of production, a level of wealth, a level 1211 01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:06,880 Speaker 1: of quality of life that was previously thought unattainable. And yes, 1212 01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,880 Speaker 1: there is going to be some workplace disruption, but I 1213 01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:14,800 Speaker 1: don't think people humans are nearly as screwed as some 1214 01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:18,559 Speaker 1: of the more pessimistic voices would have you believe. It's 1215 01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,320 Speaker 1: just about adaptation and it's just about learning how to 1216 01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:27,960 Speaker 1: use new technology. Look, my fellow older millennials, understand this. 1217 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:31,040 Speaker 1: We were the only generation in history to have an 1218 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:34,000 Speaker 1: analog childhood in a digital adulthood. What I mean by 1219 01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:37,839 Speaker 1: that is I grew up. I never really used a computer. 1220 01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:42,280 Speaker 1: I didn't have an email address until I was in college. 1221 01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:45,800 Speaker 1: I had to adapt. I actually had to print my 1222 01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:50,799 Speaker 1: law school application on a typewriter. Never used a typewriter before. 1223 01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:55,600 Speaker 1: But I had to understand how the internet worked. I 1224 01:13:55,680 --> 01:14:00,280 Speaker 1: had to understand how digital research for my lass school 1225 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,880 Speaker 1: career worked. I had to learn how to exist in 1226 01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:08,479 Speaker 1: a digital space for a career in journalism, it's all 1227 01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:12,120 Speaker 1: about adaptation. If you adapt, you will be fine. If 1228 01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:15,320 Speaker 1: you're able to use the technology, you will be fine. 1229 01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:24,880 Speaker 1: I'm not to name the unsung hero of the day. 1230 01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:29,120 Speaker 1: Today's unsung hero of the day is a good friend 1231 01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:33,000 Speaker 1: of the Dan O'Donnell shows, Michael Hupy. He has put 1232 01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:36,560 Speaker 1: up one hundred thousand dollars of his own money, not 1233 01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:40,720 Speaker 1: his law firm Hupie and Associates or Hupien Abraham. Excuse me, 1234 01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:44,880 Speaker 1: Hupien Abraham, not the law firm's money, his personal money, 1235 01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:50,559 Speaker 1: to the Tucson Crime Stoppers Program for any information that 1236 01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:55,200 Speaker 1: leads to the arrest and location of Nancy Guthrie. This 1237 01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:58,240 Speaker 1: is a missing person's case that has captivated the nation's 1238 01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:02,080 Speaker 1: attention for more than two weeks. Now nobody knows where 1239 01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:07,000 Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie is. Well, Michael Hupy, unlike most people, is 1240 01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,799 Speaker 1: trying to do something about it instead of just following 1241 01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:13,280 Speaker 1: the daily soap opera. He has pledged one hundred thousand 1242 01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:18,520 Speaker 1: dollars and Hupie is actually an incredible citizen in Milwaukee 1243 01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,720 Speaker 1: and that he routinely puts up tons of his own 1244 01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:24,960 Speaker 1: money through Milwaukee Crime Stoppers. In fact, he's the primary 1245 01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:29,200 Speaker 1: punder of it to try to get dangerous criminals to justice, 1246 01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:31,920 Speaker 1: to try to find missing people here. Well, he's now 1247 01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,960 Speaker 1: doing it for I would say, the most famous missing 1248 01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:41,000 Speaker 1: person's case in America since what the Lindbergh Baby. Nancy 1249 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 1: Guthrie may still be alive, She may still be out 1250 01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:47,360 Speaker 1: there even if she isn't. Kudos to our dear friend 1251 01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:51,200 Speaker 1: Michael Hupy for putting up one hundred grand as a 1252 01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:55,040 Speaker 1: reward to the Tucson Crime Stoppers for any information that 1253 01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,840 Speaker 1: leads to an arrest in this case. You are listening 1254 01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:00,960 Speaker 1: to the Dan o'donnald show coming up after the top 1255 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,720 Speaker 1: of the hour news the absolute must hear speech possibly 1256 01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:08,320 Speaker 1: of the last five years, Marco Rubio in Munich. Coming 1257 01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:13,840 Speaker 1: up next, My producer Eric gen Xer tells me that 1258 01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,880 Speaker 1: a number of his fellow Gen Xers have been calling 1259 01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:21,040 Speaker 1: up to remind me that elder millennials were not the 1260 01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:26,400 Speaker 1: only ones to have an analog childhood in digital adulthood. 1261 01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:30,880 Speaker 1: I actually consider myself an x annial. We're sort of 1262 01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:35,120 Speaker 1: that like mini generation that probably has more culturally in 1263 01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:39,480 Speaker 1: common with the Generation Xers than we do with the millennials. 1264 01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:43,840 Speaker 1: But because the millennial generation typically starts in nineteen eighty one, 1265 01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:46,320 Speaker 1: it's either eighty or eighty one, the more common definition 1266 01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:50,160 Speaker 1: is nineteen eighty one till about I think it's two thousand, 1267 01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:55,479 Speaker 1: and that's a pretty wide swath of births, right, that's 1268 01:16:55,600 --> 01:17:01,640 Speaker 1: nineteen years and so like, for example, if I'm going 1269 01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:05,760 Speaker 1: to mention any of these cultural touchstones, and you're a millennial, 1270 01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,200 Speaker 1: so I have a brother who's sixteen months younger than me, 1271 01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,240 Speaker 1: and we basically had the exact same childhood. Then I 1272 01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:13,400 Speaker 1: have another brother who's eleven years younger. He is a 1273 01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:19,120 Speaker 1: full millennial. So he's thirty, thirty five, thirty three. Now 1274 01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:22,240 Speaker 1: he's going to be thirty four in June, and he's 1275 01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:28,479 Speaker 1: right in that millennial. You know Wheelhouse. So how about 1276 01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:33,040 Speaker 1: this Gen xers, am I say the cultural touchstone he Man? 1277 01:17:34,360 --> 01:17:37,280 Speaker 1: Did you grow up with he Man toys or at 1278 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:41,599 Speaker 1: least have an awareness of he Man or g I Joe. 1279 01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:48,800 Speaker 1: That's an X annual slash younger Generation X thing. We 1280 01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:55,280 Speaker 1: all watched let's see Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 1281 01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:59,040 Speaker 1: right right in the Generation X cultural Wheelhouse. I was 1282 01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:00,960 Speaker 1: a little young. I didn't say it in theaters because 1283 01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:02,720 Speaker 1: I was only something like seven years old when it 1284 01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,800 Speaker 1: came out. But it's that sort of thing. So, yes, 1285 01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:09,880 Speaker 1: there is that Generation X annual. Yes, Generation xers. You 1286 01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:13,800 Speaker 1: also had to adapt boomers too. I mean everybody had 1287 01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:18,880 Speaker 1: to adapt to the massive sea change that was the Internet. 1288 01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:23,519 Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is Millennials, we had it. We 1289 01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:28,200 Speaker 1: had change as basically our right of passage. We had 1290 01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:34,520 Speaker 1: this massive change that sort of ushered us into adulthood. 1291 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,600 Speaker 1: Top stories we are following right now here on the 1292 01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:41,559 Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show. Democrats no real plans to reopen the 1293 01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:43,960 Speaker 1: federal government, at least a portion of it, the Department 1294 01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:48,360 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security. After the federal government shut down for 1295 01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:51,160 Speaker 1: the second time in as many weeks as at midnight 1296 01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:56,480 Speaker 1: on Friday. It's complete political theater because the reason Democrats 1297 01:18:56,560 --> 01:19:00,000 Speaker 1: shut down the government.

He was most famous 1308 01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:45,920 Speaker 1: for his starring roles in The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. 1309 01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:50,919 Speaker 1: Later in his career, he starred in the Well Generation 1310 01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:55,639 Speaker 1: X slash Millennial Classic Not Armageddon but the other one? 1311 01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,840 Speaker 1: And why am I It was no?

As a 1317 01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:20,360 Speaker 1: huge fan of Robert Duvaal, those are the top stories 1318 01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:24,080 Speaker 1: that we are following this hour. Easily one of the 1319 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:27,479 Speaker 1: best speeches that I have heard in a long time, 1320 01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:32,559 Speaker 1: and to quote President Trump, many people are saying, many 1321 01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:37,679 Speaker 1: people are saying, Marco Rubio's address to the annual Munich 1322 01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 1: Security Conference was a grand slam home run. In fact, 1323 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:50,880 Speaker 1: it was the perfect encapsulation of the Trump doctrine on 1324 01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:57,360 Speaker 1: foreign policy. Not America first or America alone, but America 1325 01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:01,639 Speaker 1: as the global leader, standing on for what we don't 1326 01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:05,519 Speaker 1: have to apologize for being the dominant culture on Earth, 1327 01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:12,720 Speaker 1: Western civilization. The fact that Rubio went into Europe and 1328 01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:19,400 Speaker 1: spoke plainly, spoke forcefully, but also spoke optimistically about Europe 1329 01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:23,320 Speaker 1: and the United States as shared heritage and why the 1330 01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:26,639 Speaker 1: special relationship not just between the United States and Great 1331 01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:30,960 Speaker 1: Britain but all of Western civilization is something that is 1332 01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:35,839 Speaker 1: always worth preserving and fighting for, is a master stroke 1333 01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:39,599 Speaker 1: that deserves to be remembered forever. Over the next couple 1334 01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:42,040 Speaker 1: of segments here on the Dan O'donnald's show, we are 1335 01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:45,200 Speaker 1: going to go through extended segments of this speech and 1336 01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:50,240 Speaker 1: analyze what it means in twenty twenty six, in the 1337 01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:55,320 Speaker 1: era of mass migration, in the era of AI, in 1338 01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:59,760 Speaker 1: the era of outward migration of jobs and outsourcing of 1339 01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:04,440 Speaker 1: an entire industries to the third and even fourth World, 1340 01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:06,080 Speaker 1: and what it all means. 1341 01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:09,000 Speaker 2: Here's Rubia that infamous wall. 1342 01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:13,160 Speaker 1: He's talking, by the way, about the Berlin Wall coming down. 1343 01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:16,800 Speaker 1: That's what sets this stage because this is when the 1344 01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:19,600 Speaker 1: Munich Security Conference started, right after the end of the 1345 01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:22,439 Speaker 1: Cold War, right after the Berlin Wall came down, and 1346 01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:25,439 Speaker 1: then a couple of years later the Soviet Union collapsed. 1347 01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:28,840 Speaker 11: In nineteen ninety one, that infamous wall that had cleaned 1348 01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:31,080 Speaker 11: this nation into two came down and with it an 1349 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:35,080 Speaker 11: evil empire, and the East and West became one again. 1350 01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:40,120 Speaker 11: But the euphoria of this triumph led us to a 1351 01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:44,920 Speaker 11: dangerous delusion that we had entered quote the end of history, 1352 01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,360 Speaker 11: that every nation would now be a liberal democracy, that 1353 01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:53,000 Speaker 11: the ties formed by trade and by commerce alone would 1354 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:57,000 Speaker 11: now replace nationhood, that the rules based global order and 1355 01:22:57,120 --> 01:23:01,439 Speaker 11: overuse term would now replace the national interests, and that 1356 01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:03,720 Speaker 11: we would now live in a world without borders, where 1357 01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,280 Speaker 11: everyone became a citizen of the world. 1358 01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:13,560 Speaker 1: This in about thirty seconds sums up the leftist globalist perspective, 1359 01:23:14,640 --> 01:23:17,840 Speaker 1: and now we have thirty five years of evidence that 1360 01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:18,960 Speaker 1: show it failed. 1361 01:23:20,280 --> 01:23:24,240 Speaker 11: This was a foolish idea that ignored both human nature 1362 01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,240 Speaker 11: and it ignored the lessons of over five thousand years 1363 01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:31,000 Speaker 11: of recorded human history, and it has cost us dearly. 1364 01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:36,000 Speaker 11: In this delusion, we embraced a dogmatic vision of free 1365 01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:40,440 Speaker 11: and unfettered trade, even as some nations protected their economies 1366 01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:46,719 Speaker 11: and subsidized their companies to systematically undercut hours, shuttering our plants, 1367 01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:52,280 Speaker 11: resulting in large parts of our societies being de industrialized, 1368 01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:56,519 Speaker 11: shipping millions of working in middle class jobs overseas, and 1369 01:23:56,600 --> 01:24:00,760 Speaker 11: handing control of our critical supply chains to both anversaries 1370 01:24:00,800 --> 01:24:06,680 Speaker 11: and rivals. We increasingly outsourced our sovereignty to international institutions, 1371 01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,920 Speaker 11: while many nations invested in massive welfare states at the 1372 01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:14,360 Speaker 11: cost of maintaining the ability to defend themselves. This even 1373 01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:18,160 Speaker 11: as other countries have invested in the most rapid military 1374 01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:21,200 Speaker 11: build up in all of human history and have not 1375 01:24:21,280 --> 01:24:24,640 Speaker 11: hesitated to use hard power to pursue their own interests. 1376 01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,719 Speaker 1: What he is talking about here is a direct shot 1377 01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:33,839 Speaker 1: at the United Nations, which elevates the interests of nations 1378 01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:37,400 Speaker 1: that are openly hostile to not only the United States 1379 01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,639 Speaker 1: but also the West itself. They are propped up by 1380 01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,840 Speaker 1: people who have a vested interest in the decline of 1381 01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:50,280 Speaker 1: the West and who have sought to undermine the dominant 1382 01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:55,479 Speaker 1: culture of the West through mass migration. Naturally, this is 1383 01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:59,160 Speaker 1: the overarching theme of Rubio's speech, and this is the 1384 01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:03,200 Speaker 1: overarching th theme of the Trump doctrine of foreign policy, 1385 01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:11,200 Speaker 1: that multiculturalism, for multiculturalism's sake, importing wide swaths of people, 1386 01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:16,679 Speaker 1: many of whom are largely incompatible with Western ideas of 1387 01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:21,559 Speaker 1: self determination and self governance, women's liberation, in fact, many 1388 01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:27,320 Speaker 1: of the things gay rights that modern liberals profess to 1389 01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:34,320 Speaker 1: have as the core dogmatic beliefs that underpin their philosophy. Well, 1390 01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:40,520 Speaker 1: we have, as Western nations, been importing thousands, tens of thousands, 1391 01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:44,960 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands, even into the millions, many people who 1392 01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:48,760 Speaker 1: are openly hostile not just to those ideas, but to 1393 01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:53,880 Speaker 1: the people who believe in them, to us, to their hosts. 1394 01:25:54,920 --> 01:26:01,920 Speaker 1: Their aim is not peaceful coexistence, but rather invasion, dominance, 1395 01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:08,599 Speaker 1: taking over, destroying from within a culture, that has been 1396 01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:13,559 Speaker 1: built over many centuries, many millennia really and proven itself 1397 01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:17,760 Speaker 1: time and time again to be the best form of governance, 1398 01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:22,960 Speaker 1: the best form of culture, the most effective, most productive, 1399 01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:30,600 Speaker 1: and most tolerant, most caring ideology, philosophy, and civilizational structure 1400 01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:37,759 Speaker 1: on the planet. Rubio's five minute segment on mass migration 1401 01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:42,559 Speaker 1: and its destructive nature needs to be studied everywhere. 1402 01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:45,559 Speaker 11: In pursuit of a world without borders, we opened our 1403 01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:49,719 Speaker 11: doors to an unprecedented wave of mass migration that threatens 1404 01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:53,400 Speaker 11: the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our culture, 1405 01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:59,080 Speaker 11: and the future of our people. We made these mistakes 1406 01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:03,080 Speaker 11: to get and now together, we owe it to our 1407 01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:05,960 Speaker 11: people to face those facts and to move. 1408 01:27:05,800 --> 01:27:07,800 Speaker 2: Forward to rebuild. 1409 01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:12,120 Speaker 11: Under President Trump, the United States of America will once 1410 01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:16,519 Speaker 11: again take on the task of renewal and restoration, driven 1411 01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:19,719 Speaker 11: by a vision of a future as proud, as sovereign, 1412 01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:23,920 Speaker 11: and as vital as our civilizations passed. And while we 1413 01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:28,960 Speaker 11: are prepared, if necessary, to do this alone, it is 1414 01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:32,760 Speaker 11: our preference and it is our hope, to do this 1415 01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:37,400 Speaker 11: together with you, our friends here in Europe. For the 1416 01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:43,599 Speaker 11: United States and Europe, we belonged together. America was found 1417 01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:46,439 Speaker 11: a two hundred and fifty years ago. But the roots 1418 01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:50,400 Speaker 11: began here on this continent long before the men who 1419 01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:53,400 Speaker 11: settled and built the nation of my birth arrived on 1420 01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,960 Speaker 11: our shores, carrying the memories and the traditions and the 1421 01:27:57,040 --> 01:28:00,800 Speaker 11: Christian faith of their ancestors as a sacred inheritance, an 1422 01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:04,519 Speaker 11: unbreakable link between the old world and the new. 1423 01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:10,400 Speaker 1: What he's talking about is shared heritage, shared culture, the 1424 01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:15,959 Speaker 1: compatibility of migrants who have the same set of values, 1425 01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:21,240 Speaker 1: who bring the old world with them and don't immediately 1426 01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:26,360 Speaker 1: stop being Cuban, or stop being Italian, or stop being Irish, 1427 01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:31,240 Speaker 1: but rather understand that the dominant culture American culture, or 1428 01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:35,200 Speaker 1: the dominant culture Swedish culture, English culture, whatever, is one 1429 01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:37,200 Speaker 1: that they need to assimilate to. 1430 01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:43,080 Speaker 11: We are part of one civilization, Western civilization. We are 1431 01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:45,759 Speaker 11: bound to one another by the deepest bonds that nations 1432 01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:54,040 Speaker 11: could share, forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, 1433 01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:58,960 Speaker 11: and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common 1434 01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:04,439 Speaker 11: civilization to which we have fallen air. And so this 1435 01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:09,160 Speaker 11: is why we Americans may sometimes come off as a 1436 01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:14,280 Speaker 11: little direct and urgent in our Council. This is why 1437 01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:17,880 Speaker 11: President Trump demands seriousness and reciprocity from our friends here 1438 01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:22,360 Speaker 11: in Europe. The reason why, my friends, is because we 1439 01:29:22,400 --> 01:29:27,000 Speaker 11: care deeply. We care deeply about your future and ours, 1440 01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:32,720 Speaker 11: and if at times we disagree, our disagreements come from 1441 01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:35,960 Speaker 11: our profound sense of concern about a Europe with which 1442 01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:41,000 Speaker 11: we are connected, not just economically, not just militarily, we 1443 01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:44,360 Speaker 11: are connected spiritually, and we are connected culturally. 1444 01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:47,080 Speaker 2: We want Europe to be strong. 1445 01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:51,920 Speaker 11: We believe that Europe must survive because the two great 1446 01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:56,360 Speaker 11: wars of the last century serve for us as history's. 1447 01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:59,200 Speaker 2: Constant reminder that ultimately. 1448 01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:05,560 Speaker 11: Our destiny he is and will always be intertwined with yours. 1449 01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:10,680 Speaker 1: What he's saying here is that there is no difference 1450 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:16,080 Speaker 1: fundamentally when it comes down to shared values between Europe 1451 01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:19,040 Speaker 1: and the United States. That there really isn't that that 1452 01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:23,800 Speaker 1: we owe everything we know about freedom, That that the 1453 01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:27,160 Speaker 1: there is no declaration of independence or constitution without Magna carta, 1454 01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:30,759 Speaker 1: That there is no like we have the same Judeo 1455 01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:35,360 Speaker 1: Christian values, that that underpin our society, and American culture 1456 01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:38,920 Speaker 1: is at its heart sort of an amalgam of all 1457 01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:43,400 Speaker 1: of the cultures that didn't, that didn't rob and steal, 1458 01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:50,960 Speaker 1: but rather settled. We were not immigrants to a strange land. 1459 01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:59,000 Speaker 1: We were European settlers and pioneers and colonists. There's a 1460 01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:02,240 Speaker 1: big fundamental difference. So what Rubio is hearkening back to 1461 01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:07,920 Speaker 1: is that shared sense of cultural pride in something that 1462 01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:11,160 Speaker 1: goes even deeper than national borders, that goes into who 1463 01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,720 Speaker 1: we are and what it is that we at our 1464 01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:15,640 Speaker 1: core belief. 1465 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:16,400 Speaker 2: Because we know. 1466 01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:28,560 Speaker 1: Bagel clause line after that, because. 1467 01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:32,320 Speaker 11: We know that the fate of Europe will never be 1468 01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:38,080 Speaker 11: irrelevant to our own. National security, which this conference is 1469 01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:42,200 Speaker 11: largely about, is not merely a series of technical questions 1470 01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:45,240 Speaker 11: how much we spend on defense or where. 1471 01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:46,160 Speaker 2: How we deploy it. 1472 01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:49,519 Speaker 11: These are important questions, they are, but they are not 1473 01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:53,320 Speaker 11: the fundamental one. The fundamental question we must answer at 1474 01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:58,879 Speaker 11: the outset is what exactly are we defending? Because armies 1475 01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:03,120 Speaker 11: do not fight for abstractions. Armies fight for a people. 1476 01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:06,720 Speaker 11: Armies fight for a nation. Armies fight for a way 1477 01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:09,760 Speaker 11: of life. 1478 01:32:08,439 --> 01:32:09,879 Speaker 2: And that is what we are defending. 1479 01:32:10,600 --> 01:32:14,120 Speaker 11: A great civilization that has every reason to be proud 1480 01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:17,640 Speaker 11: of its history, confident of its future, and aims to 1481 01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:21,920 Speaker 11: always be the master of its own economic and political destiny. 1482 01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:26,479 Speaker 11: It was here in Europe where the ideas that planted 1483 01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:28,759 Speaker 11: the seeds of liberty that changed the world were born. 1484 01:32:29,600 --> 01:32:32,880 Speaker 11: It was here in Europe where the world which gave 1485 01:32:32,920 --> 01:32:36,559 Speaker 11: the world the rule of law, the universities, and the 1486 01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:37,719 Speaker 11: scientific revolution. 1487 01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:40,720 Speaker 2: It was this continent that produced the. 1488 01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:45,640 Speaker 11: Genius of Mozart and Beethoven, of Dante and Shakespeare, of 1489 01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:52,200 Speaker 11: Michaelangelo and Da Vinci, of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. 1490 01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:55,519 Speaker 11: And this is the place where the vaulted ceilings of 1491 01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:59,720 Speaker 11: the Sistine Chapel and the towering spires of the Great 1492 01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:03,800 Speaker 11: drunk Colone they testify not just to the greatness of 1493 01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:07,240 Speaker 11: our past, or to a faith in God that inspired 1494 01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:12,360 Speaker 11: these marvels. They foreshadow the wonders that await us in 1495 01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:16,640 Speaker 11: our future. But only if we are unapologetic in our 1496 01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:20,479 Speaker 11: heritage and proud of this common inheritance, can we together 1497 01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:23,920 Speaker 11: begin the work of envisioning and shaping our economic and 1498 01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:25,000 Speaker 11: our political future. 1499 01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:29,080 Speaker 1: This is why they are saying he has the hard 1500 01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:35,559 Speaker 1: edge of the Trump administration and it's very hawkish tone 1501 01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:40,559 Speaker 1: on immigration, combined with the ultimate optimism of the great 1502 01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:45,479 Speaker 1: communicator Ronald Reagan. Because what he's saying, in very soaring terms, 1503 01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:49,840 Speaker 1: is that we have a shared culture that is worth protecting, 1504 01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:56,280 Speaker 1: and we have vast, undeclared armies of people invading our 1505 01:33:56,360 --> 01:34:00,880 Speaker 1: shores who are not just you know, antithetic, who don't 1506 01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:04,240 Speaker 1: just not believe in those ideas and in those values 1507 01:34:04,240 --> 01:34:09,519 Speaker 1: and in that culture, they actively hate them. This is 1508 01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:16,599 Speaker 1: why you see little fiefdoms, little pockets of people within 1509 01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:21,240 Speaker 1: our own borders, the so called Muslim no go zones 1510 01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:25,640 Speaker 1: in France and Britain that are just there. It's like 1511 01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:29,840 Speaker 1: little Syria, not like the little Italy, the Mulberry Street 1512 01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:32,160 Speaker 1: New York, Chinatown, that sort of thing. These are people 1513 01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:35,439 Speaker 1: who come here and yes they keep their cultural heritage, 1514 01:34:35,439 --> 01:34:39,040 Speaker 1: but they contribute. They love American society. We now have 1515 01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:44,559 Speaker 1: people who don't. More from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. 1516 01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:48,080 Speaker 1: When The Dan o'donald Show returns, you are not going 1517 01:34:48,120 --> 01:34:53,960 Speaker 1: to want to miss what he says next. Intelligent discourse 1518 01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:58,200 Speaker 1: and irreverent fun. You get both, hopefully an equal measure 1519 01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:02,120 Speaker 1: here on the Dan o'donald Show. The most intelligent of 1520 01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:06,639 Speaker 1: intelligent discourse at the Munich Security Conference over the weekend, 1521 01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:09,599 Speaker 1: coming from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. If we have time, 1522 01:35:09,680 --> 01:35:13,439 Speaker 1: we'll get some of the irreverent fun, poking fun at 1523 01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:18,559 Speaker 1: AOC who was there clearly to bolster her foreign policy 1524 01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:22,960 Speaker 1: bonafides ahead of an expected presidential run in twenty twenty eight, 1525 01:35:23,560 --> 01:35:27,160 Speaker 1: she came across looking like a complete idiot, especially when 1526 01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:32,439 Speaker 1: asked about American military assistance if China were to invade 1527 01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:37,920 Speaker 1: Taiwan or challenge any sort of Taiwanese sovereignty. She had 1528 01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:41,320 Speaker 1: no idea how she was supposed to answer. Forget about 1529 01:35:41,360 --> 01:35:43,439 Speaker 1: straying from the talking points, she had no idea what 1530 01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:47,640 Speaker 1: the talking points even were. Now, contrast that with Secretary 1531 01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:52,200 Speaker 1: of State Rubio, who outlines a clear vision of the 1532 01:35:52,280 --> 01:35:57,080 Speaker 1: folly of the last thirty five thirty six post Cold 1533 01:35:57,160 --> 01:36:01,200 Speaker 1: War utopian view of the globalists who think, well, we're 1534 01:36:01,240 --> 01:36:05,719 Speaker 1: all just one world, who then foiced mass migration, which 1535 01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:09,599 Speaker 1: has led to the severe decline of pretty much the 1536 01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:15,640 Speaker 1: entire West and what Rubio views as the survival of 1537 01:36:15,680 --> 01:36:19,479 Speaker 1: our civilization. That is right now at stake. Take a list. 1538 01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:24,360 Speaker 11: Mass migration is not, was, not is some fringe concern 1539 01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:27,559 Speaker 11: of little consequence. It was and continues to be a 1540 01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:34,679 Speaker 11: crisis which is transforming and destabilizing societies all across the West. Together, 1541 01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:38,040 Speaker 11: we can reindustrialize our economies and rebuild our capacity to 1542 01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:41,240 Speaker 11: defend our people. But the work of this new alliance 1543 01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:45,120 Speaker 11: should not be focused just on military cooperation and reclaiming 1544 01:36:45,120 --> 01:36:48,559 Speaker 11: the industries of the past. It should also be focused 1545 01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:53,440 Speaker 11: on together advancing our mutual interests and new frontiers. Unshackling 1546 01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:58,439 Speaker 11: our ingenuity, our creativity, and the dynamic spirit to build 1547 01:36:58,479 --> 01:37:03,040 Speaker 11: a new Western century commercial space travel and cutting edge 1548 01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:08,639 Speaker 11: artificial intelligence, industrial automation and flex manufacturing. Creating a Western 1549 01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:13,120 Speaker 11: supply chain for critical minerals not vulnerable to extortion from 1550 01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:17,120 Speaker 11: other powers, and a unified effort to compete for market 1551 01:37:17,120 --> 01:37:19,200 Speaker 11: share and the economies of the global South. 1552 01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:25,240 Speaker 1: Just really quickly, how many of those innovations that he's 1553 01:37:25,320 --> 01:37:30,640 Speaker 1: talking about came from somewhere other than the cradle of 1554 01:37:30,680 --> 01:37:39,120 Speaker 1: modern civilization in the West. Seriously? How many? How many 1555 01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:44,760 Speaker 1: from the countries that were importing millions of people from 1556 01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:51,320 Speaker 1: supposedly in the name of enriching hours. How many AI breakthroughs? 1557 01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:59,320 Speaker 1: How many rocket ships going to moving comets? Many? How 1558 01:37:59,320 --> 01:38:04,200 Speaker 1: many rocket has Syria caught in mid air rather than 1559 01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:11,519 Speaker 1: launched at Israel? This is what He's talking about, why 1560 01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:17,600 Speaker 1: are we deliberately making our nations weaker by taking on 1561 01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:21,000 Speaker 1: not even the best and brightest from the places of 1562 01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:24,880 Speaker 1: the world that really, let's be completely honest with ourselves, 1563 01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:31,120 Speaker 1: have not had globe shaking technological advances. We're not even 1564 01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:35,240 Speaker 1: importing the best in the brightest from there. We're importing 1565 01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:38,799 Speaker 1: anyone and everyone who wants to come in without regard 1566 01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:42,320 Speaker 1: to how they feel about their new host nation or 1567 01:38:42,479 --> 01:38:46,639 Speaker 1: dominant culture into which they're entering. That's what I believe 1568 01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:50,320 Speaker 1: it was, I forget who coined the phrase suicidal empathy. 1569 01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:54,400 Speaker 1: Was that god Sod? I believe it's the philosopher Goad 1570 01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:59,360 Speaker 1: Sod who said this is suicidal empathy. It brings about 1571 01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:02,479 Speaker 1: the destruction of nations for no other reason than to 1572 01:39:02,760 --> 01:39:07,040 Speaker 1: feel good about ourselves because of how kind and open 1573 01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:12,240 Speaker 1: hearted we are. And I mean, let's not sugarcoat what 1574 01:39:12,439 --> 01:39:14,960 Speaker 1: ultimately a lot of mass migration is all about. It's 1575 01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:19,720 Speaker 1: about political power and the solidification of global dominance by 1576 01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:24,400 Speaker 1: the ascendant left, which understands that the better off people 1577 01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:27,839 Speaker 1: are in host Western countries such as the United States 1578 01:39:27,880 --> 01:39:31,080 Speaker 1: or Great Britain, the less likely they are to vote 1579 01:39:31,160 --> 01:39:36,439 Speaker 1: for the heavy handed radical left wing tyrannical socialist leaning 1580 01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:41,040 Speaker 1: control that all major leftist parties have now succumbed to, 1581 01:39:41,479 --> 01:39:45,240 Speaker 1: especially in the COVID and post COVID eras. They make 1582 01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:47,479 Speaker 1: no bones about the fact that they want to dominate 1583 01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:50,479 Speaker 1: every aspect of our lives, and more and more people, 1584 01:39:50,560 --> 01:39:55,160 Speaker 1: especially more and more younger people, are overwhelmingly rejecting that. 1585 01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:59,240 Speaker 1: So what these political parties have realized is, well, if 1586 01:39:59,240 --> 01:40:03,240 Speaker 1: we just import people who are much more sympathetic to 1587 01:40:03,439 --> 01:40:07,639 Speaker 1: that worldview and are much more likely to tolerate being 1588 01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:11,679 Speaker 1: ruled by a socialist elite, well then we can never 1589 01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:13,760 Speaker 1: possibly lose back to Ruby Together. 1590 01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:16,479 Speaker 11: We cannot only take back control of our own industries 1591 01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:20,599 Speaker 11: and supply chains, we can prosper in the areas that 1592 01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:24,719 Speaker 11: will define the twenty first century, but we must also 1593 01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:29,200 Speaker 11: gain control of our national borders, controlling who and how 1594 01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:32,639 Speaker 11: many people enter our countries. This is not an expression 1595 01:40:32,680 --> 01:40:36,480 Speaker 11: of xenophobia, It is not hate. It is a fundamental 1596 01:40:36,520 --> 01:40:39,880 Speaker 11: act of national sovereignty, and the failure to do so 1597 01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:43,679 Speaker 11: is not just an abdication of our most basic duties 1598 01:40:43,720 --> 01:40:47,599 Speaker 11: owe to our people. It is an urgent threat to 1599 01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:50,840 Speaker 11: the fabric of our societies and the survival of our 1600 01:40:50,880 --> 01:40:52,080 Speaker 11: civilization itself. 1601 01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:55,639 Speaker 1: Could not have said it any better myself. Much more 1602 01:40:55,760 --> 01:41:00,000 Speaker 1: from this Secretary of State in a truly truly incredible speed. 1603 01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:04,120 Speaker 1: Coming up next here on the Dan O'Donnell Show, Secretary 1604 01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:08,080 Speaker 1: of State Marco Rubio delivering one of the best received 1605 01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:12,720 Speaker 1: and most powerful foreign policy speeches in recent memory at 1606 01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:16,200 Speaker 1: the Music Security Conference in Munich, Germany over the weekend, 1607 01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:21,360 Speaker 1: and he talks not about the United States being superior 1608 01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:26,120 Speaker 1: to Europe or having all of the answers for Europe, 1609 01:41:26,160 --> 01:41:31,839 Speaker 1: but rather being the spiritual and cultural air to old Europe, 1610 01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:36,840 Speaker 1: fighting for the shared values that do and have always 1611 01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:42,400 Speaker 1: made both shared cultures unique in the world and made 1612 01:41:42,520 --> 01:41:48,200 Speaker 1: Western culture the dominant force over the past century, century, 1613 01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:54,080 Speaker 1: hell millennium. There is a reason that the world speaks English. 1614 01:41:54,320 --> 01:41:59,679 Speaker 1: There is a reason that Western values, Judeo Christian values, 1615 01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:04,559 Speaker 1: have dominated the earth. The Western style of government has 1616 01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:08,160 Speaker 1: proven to be the best form of government. The Western 1617 01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:13,080 Speaker 1: style of capitalism has proven to be the model of 1618 01:42:13,160 --> 01:42:17,120 Speaker 1: the world. It has enriched more people than any other 1619 01:42:17,240 --> 01:42:21,679 Speaker 1: system in the history of this planet. And it's all 1620 01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:25,000 Speaker 1: because of the culture we share. Those are the ideas 1621 01:42:25,080 --> 01:42:28,840 Speaker 1: that Rubio based his speech on. These are the ideas 1622 01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:32,479 Speaker 1: that the Trump doctrine, the American doctrine of foreign policy, 1623 01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:38,520 Speaker 1: is built on, not an idea of American or Western superiority, 1624 01:42:38,640 --> 01:42:42,880 Speaker 1: but yes, a pride in Western culture as the dominant 1625 01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:47,800 Speaker 1: cultural force on Earth, and the thing that threatens it 1626 01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:52,360 Speaker 1: the most is mass migration of people who do not 1627 01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:56,280 Speaker 1: share the values of the countries that they are going into. 1628 01:42:56,439 --> 01:43:00,000 Speaker 11: For five centuries before the end of the Second World 1629 01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:04,080 Speaker 11: where the West had been expanding, its missionaries, its pilgrims, 1630 01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:07,240 Speaker 11: its soldiers, its explorers, pouring out from its shores to 1631 01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:12,720 Speaker 11: cross oceans, settle new continents, build vast empires extending out 1632 01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:17,120 Speaker 11: across the globe. But in nineteen forty five, for the 1633 01:43:17,160 --> 01:43:21,200 Speaker 11: first time since the age of Columbus, it was contracting. 1634 01:43:22,479 --> 01:43:25,760 Speaker 11: Europe was in ruins, half of it lived behind an 1635 01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:28,720 Speaker 11: iron curtain, and the rest looked like it would soon 1636 01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:33,160 Speaker 11: follow the great Western empires that entered into terminal decline, 1637 01:43:33,800 --> 01:43:38,840 Speaker 11: accelerated by godless communist revolutions and by anti colonial uprisings 1638 01:43:39,479 --> 01:43:42,840 Speaker 11: that would transform the world and drape the red hammer 1639 01:43:42,880 --> 01:43:46,000 Speaker 11: and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the 1640 01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:51,519 Speaker 11: years to come. Against that backdrop, then as now. Many 1641 01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:53,920 Speaker 11: came to believe that the West's age of dominance had 1642 01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:57,920 Speaker 11: come to an end, and that our future was destined 1643 01:43:57,920 --> 01:44:01,520 Speaker 11: to be a faint and feeble echo of our past. 1644 01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:10,120 Speaker 11: But together, our predecessors recognized that decline was a choice, 1645 01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:13,960 Speaker 11: and it was a choice they refused to make. This 1646 01:44:14,040 --> 01:44:17,000 Speaker 11: is what we did together once before, and this is 1647 01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:19,160 Speaker 11: what President Trump and the United States. 1648 01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:22,439 Speaker 2: Want to do again now, together with you. 1649 01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:25,919 Speaker 11: And this is why we do not want our allies 1650 01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:29,960 Speaker 11: to be weak, because that makes us weaker. We want 1651 01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:33,439 Speaker 11: allies who can defend themselves so that no adversary will 1652 01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:34,439 Speaker 11: ever be tempted to. 1653 01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:37,639 Speaker 2: Test our collective strength. This is why we do. 1654 01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:40,120 Speaker 11: Not want our allies to be shackled by guilt and shame. 1655 01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:43,240 Speaker 11: We want allies who are proud of their culture and 1656 01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:45,920 Speaker 11: of their heritage, who understand that we are heirs to 1657 01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:50,120 Speaker 11: the same great and noble civilization, and who, together with us, 1658 01:44:50,560 --> 01:44:53,479 Speaker 11: are willing and able to defend it. 1659 01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:58,320 Speaker 1: What he is saying is to fight back against the 1660 01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:01,640 Speaker 1: new threat to global star ability. It's no longer the 1661 01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:06,760 Speaker 1: Nazis or the Japanese. It's no longer the Axis powers 1662 01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:10,879 Speaker 1: of World War One. We're no longer fighting great armies 1663 01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:16,320 Speaker 1: in a traditional trench warfare setting that we grew accustomed 1664 01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:19,000 Speaker 1: to in the last century. In the new century, the 1665 01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:23,720 Speaker 1: armies are hordes of people who are allowed in by 1666 01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:28,559 Speaker 1: people in positions of power in Western democracies that don't 1667 01:45:28,600 --> 01:45:32,920 Speaker 1: really have an interest in preserving Western democracy or Western culture, 1668 01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:36,519 Speaker 1: but rather in reinventing it under the banner of that 1669 01:45:36,600 --> 01:45:40,960 Speaker 1: old hammer and sickle. Only this time it's rainbow colored 1670 01:45:41,640 --> 01:45:45,879 Speaker 1: and has a more feminist bent. Fundamentally, though those ideas 1671 01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:49,519 Speaker 1: are the exact same. These people, though, realize that the 1672 01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:52,479 Speaker 1: vast majority of people in those Western nations are openly 1673 01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:58,080 Speaker 1: hostile to any of the last vestiges of socialism. That's 1674 01:45:58,080 --> 01:46:03,160 Speaker 1: why they need a permanent underclass to dominate and exploit 1675 01:46:03,400 --> 01:46:08,080 Speaker 1: in order to give themselves as sendant political power. This 1676 01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:10,920 Speaker 1: is the battle that we must face. 1677 01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:12,880 Speaker 11: And this is why we do not want allies to 1678 01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:14,760 Speaker 11: rationalize the broken status quo. 1679 01:46:15,520 --> 01:46:16,439 Speaker 2: Rather than a reckon. 1680 01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:19,840 Speaker 11: Willard is what is necessary to fix it. For we 1681 01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:24,559 Speaker 11: in America have no interest in being polite and orderly 1682 01:46:24,640 --> 01:46:27,760 Speaker 11: caretakers of the West's managed decline. 1683 01:46:29,040 --> 01:46:29,720 Speaker 2: We do not. 1684 01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:33,960 Speaker 11: Seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship and 1685 01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:38,040 Speaker 11: renew the greatest civilization in human history. What we want 1686 01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:41,599 Speaker 11: is a reinvigorated alliance that recognizes that what has ailed 1687 01:46:41,600 --> 01:46:44,560 Speaker 11: our societies is not just a set of bad policies, 1688 01:46:45,320 --> 01:46:49,400 Speaker 11: but a malaise of hopelessness and complacency. An alliance is 1689 01:46:49,400 --> 01:46:51,280 Speaker 11: what The alliance that we want is one that is 1690 01:46:51,280 --> 01:46:55,240 Speaker 11: not paralyzed into an action by fear, fear of climate change, 1691 01:46:55,280 --> 01:46:58,439 Speaker 11: fear of war, fear of technology. Instead, we want an 1692 01:46:58,479 --> 01:47:01,880 Speaker 11: alliance that boldly raises to the future, and the only 1693 01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:05,280 Speaker 11: fear we have is the fear of the shame of 1694 01:47:05,320 --> 01:47:09,519 Speaker 11: not leaving our nations prouder, stronger, and wealthier for our children. 1695 01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:14,360 Speaker 11: An alliance ready to defend our people, to safeguard our interests, 1696 01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:16,640 Speaker 11: and to preserve the freedom of action that allows us 1697 01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:19,960 Speaker 11: to shape our own destiny. Not one that exists to 1698 01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:23,360 Speaker 11: operate a global welfare state and atone for the purported 1699 01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:25,280 Speaker 11: sins of past generation. 1700 01:47:25,640 --> 01:47:31,600 Speaker 1: That is a beautiful line, absolutely perfectly delivered, and incredibly insightful. 1701 01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:35,760 Speaker 11: An alliance that does not allow its power to be outsourced, constrained, 1702 01:47:35,840 --> 01:47:40,240 Speaker 11: or subordinated to systems beyond its control. One that does 1703 01:47:40,280 --> 01:47:42,760 Speaker 11: not depend on others for the critical necessities of its 1704 01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:46,240 Speaker 11: national life, and one that does not maintain the polite 1705 01:47:46,280 --> 01:47:50,200 Speaker 11: pretense that our way of life is just one among many, 1706 01:47:51,080 --> 01:47:55,519 Speaker 11: and that asks for permission before it acts. And above all, 1707 01:47:55,560 --> 01:48:01,920 Speaker 11: an alliance based on the recognition that we have inherited together. 1708 01:48:02,240 --> 01:48:05,400 Speaker 11: What we have inherited together is something that is unique 1709 01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:11,680 Speaker 11: and distinctive and irreplaceable, because this, after all, is. 1710 01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:13,799 Speaker 2: The very foundation of the Transatlantic bond. 1711 01:48:15,479 --> 01:48:17,559 Speaker 11: Acting together in this way we will not just help 1712 01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:23,000 Speaker 11: recover a sane foreign policy. It will restore to us 1713 01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:26,639 Speaker 11: a clear sense of ourselves. It will restore a place 1714 01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:30,400 Speaker 11: in the world, and in so doing, it will rebuke 1715 01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:34,759 Speaker 11: and deter the forces of civilizational erasure that today benis 1716 01:48:34,800 --> 01:48:38,800 Speaker 11: menace both America and Europe alike. So in a time 1717 01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:43,639 Speaker 11: of headlines heralding the end of the Transatlantic era, let 1718 01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:46,800 Speaker 11: it be known and clear to all that this is 1719 01:48:46,880 --> 01:48:51,840 Speaker 11: neither our goal nor our wish, Because for US Americans, 1720 01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:56,560 Speaker 11: our home may be in the Western Hemisphere, but we 1721 01:48:56,600 --> 01:49:00,240 Speaker 11: will always be a child of Europe. 1722 01:49:02,280 --> 01:49:07,639 Speaker 1: That Marco Rubio in Munich the Munich's Security Conference, laying 1723 01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:12,639 Speaker 1: out what's at stake, what threatens the West, and how 1724 01:49:12,680 --> 01:49:16,920 Speaker 1: it is that we can come together and restore the 1725 01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:19,280 Speaker 1: shared culture that we all have. How'd you like to 1726 01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:23,479 Speaker 1: go to Europe? Coming up next, we will explain just 1727 01:49:23,560 --> 01:49:26,240 Speaker 1: how stay tuned. Dan o'donald show back in just a second. 1728 01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:35,040 Speaker 2: Welcome back. 1729 01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:37,360 Speaker 1: It is the Dan O'Donnell Show.

In fact, joining me now 1734 01:49:55,560 --> 01:50:00,599 Speaker 1: to discuss Jerry Bot, program director of WIS Radio. 1735 01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:02,360 Speaker 9: Yeah, thank you for letting me on your show. It's 1736 01:50:02,680 --> 01:50:04,519 Speaker 9: it's much to the pleasure of the audience that I 1737 01:50:04,560 --> 01:50:07,320 Speaker 9: don't have my own daily radio show, so I'm going 1738 01:50:07,360 --> 01:50:09,840 Speaker 9: to be the one since Jay Webber has decided to 1739 01:50:09,960 --> 01:50:12,400 Speaker 9: leave the daily airwaves. The trip of a lifetime was 1740 01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:15,280 Speaker 9: always his, his trip with Cruise and Tour. He's passed 1741 01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:17,920 Speaker 9: the torch to me and I will surely drop it. 1742 01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:21,200 Speaker 9: But I really really appreciate you let me on to 1743 01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:22,559 Speaker 9: talk about it for a couple of minutes because it's 1744 01:50:22,560 --> 01:50:23,519 Speaker 9: a it's a fabulous trip. 1745 01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:23,760 Speaker 7: Wow. 1746 01:50:23,880 --> 01:50:26,559 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it is one that I've always 1747 01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:29,559 Speaker 1: wanted to do. We're we're actually doing through cruise and tour, 1748 01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:32,719 Speaker 1: a trip through the Greek Isles. We're doing a cruise 1749 01:50:32,720 --> 01:50:34,400 Speaker 1: of the Greek Isles, which by the way, there are 1750 01:50:34,560 --> 01:50:37,280 Speaker 1: like a tiny handful of cabins still available. 1751 01:50:37,320 --> 01:50:37,599 Speaker 4: Really. 1752 01:50:37,720 --> 01:50:41,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going in July. I believe it's end of July, 1753 01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:45,040 Speaker 1: and it is. I mean, you talk about absolutely spectacular 1754 01:50:45,080 --> 01:50:47,760 Speaker 1: cruis dash tour, but we are talking about the trip 1755 01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:50,840 Speaker 1: of a lifetime, a cruise of the Northern Mediterranean. 1756 01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:53,240 Speaker 9: Yeah, the northern rim of the Mediterranean is basically it's 1757 01:50:53,280 --> 01:50:56,360 Speaker 9: it's just a wonderful, wonderful thing. It's a ten day 1758 01:50:56,360 --> 01:51:00,439 Speaker 9: trip total. You start out by flying into Rome to Rome, 1759 01:51:00,960 --> 01:51:02,639 Speaker 9: stay at a five star hotel, and then it gets 1760 01:51:02,720 --> 01:51:05,960 Speaker 9: better than that. You go on the ship, which is 1761 01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:09,320 Speaker 9: the Azamara Onward that's the name of the ship. Fantastic 1762 01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:12,400 Speaker 9: supposed to be an amazing high end luxury sort of 1763 01:51:12,439 --> 01:51:14,200 Speaker 9: sort of thing. And the ships it's not one of 1764 01:51:14,240 --> 01:51:17,360 Speaker 9: these big, you know, ocean cruisers with three thousand passengers. 1765 01:51:17,560 --> 01:51:21,200 Speaker 9: The boat's capacity is just under seven hundred passengers. 1766 01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:24,200 Speaker 1: So so you get like world class amenities right without 1767 01:51:24,240 --> 01:51:26,559 Speaker 1: having a small city on board exactly. 1768 01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:30,200 Speaker 9: It's very, very very intimate. But the ports ofcol are 1769 01:51:30,280 --> 01:51:33,679 Speaker 9: really fantastic. After you leave Rome that you're you're sailing 1770 01:51:33,680 --> 01:51:37,600 Speaker 9: out of Rome, Florence and Pisa in Italy, Nice and 1771 01:51:37,680 --> 01:51:43,559 Speaker 9: Marseille in France, uh, Palamos and Barcelona in Spain. But 1772 01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:46,759 Speaker 9: the kicker to this one for me anyway is Monico 1773 01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:50,519 Speaker 9: Monte Carlo. You know, I mean, you'd be fabulous, you 1774 01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:53,000 Speaker 9: look good at a tux you love, you could have 1775 01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:53,840 Speaker 9: your James Bond. 1776 01:51:54,120 --> 01:51:56,719 Speaker 1: I was to say everybody's living out there, James Bonds, 1777 01:51:56,760 --> 01:51:57,559 Speaker 1: I can see you've. 1778 01:51:57,400 --> 01:52:00,160 Speaker 9: Played bakraa there and that sort of thing. But but 1779 01:52:00,200 --> 01:52:02,760 Speaker 9: it's really from the description of the ship, it's kind 1780 01:52:02,760 --> 01:52:06,759 Speaker 9: of like a boutique hotel on the water. The staff 1781 01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:10,040 Speaker 9: to passenger ratio four hundred people on the staff and 1782 01:52:10,120 --> 01:52:11,160 Speaker 9: only seven hundred passage. 1783 01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:13,839 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, two to one.
