1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,439
Speaker 1: All right, here's an interesting philosophical question. Is it possible

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: to simultaneously overreact and underreact to the exact same event.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: I would pause it that it is, because that is

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: exactly what's going on following last night's Democrat sweep of

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: the off year elections. Welcome to the Wednesday edition of

Speaker 1: on your iHeartRadio app or wherever you listen to podcasts. Yes,

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: Democrats swept everything there was to sweep the communist one

17
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: in New York City. Democrats won in Virginia and New

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: Jersey gubernatorial races. Four years after Republicans completed a clean

19
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: sweep in Virginia. Democrats did the same, even getting a

20
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: win for the Attorney general candidate Jay Jones, who in

21
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two wished his political opponents and their children dead. Yes,

22
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: those are all Democrat states. Yes, New York City is

23
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: one of the most pro communist places in the United States.

24
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: So you can't overreact to those results if you're a

25
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: conservative or if you're a liberal celebrating this morning, I

26
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: will remind you liberals that today is a very important anniversary.

27
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: It is one year since the tears started falling again,

28
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: one year since President Trump completed the most improbable, impossible

29
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: political comeback in American history and won the presidential election.

30
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: We will discuss that in the Daily Trump Date. President

31
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: Trump making a big speech in Miami at the American

32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Business Forum to mark one year since his historic election.

33
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: So you can't really overreact to Democrats winning in Democrat states.

34
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: But you also can't underreact because, as President Trump himself said,

35
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: this was a bad night for Republicans. And we are

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: now less than a year away from the twenty twenty

37
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: six midterms. Here in Wisconsin, we are actually just a

38
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: couple of months away from a very important state Supreme

39
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: Court race. And folks, I'm not going to sugarcoat this.

40
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: The situation on the ground does not exactly foster a

41
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: whole lot of confidence that Republicans will be able to

42
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: win here next year. But I am telling you there

43
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: are distinct lessons that you can earn from last night's

44
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: election loss, and if Republicans learn them, they can I think,

45
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: mitigate the damage and can actually pull off wins in

46
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: states like Wisconsin. We will get to all of that

47
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: on a jam packed show today before we dive right

48
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: in time for the Fall Fortune Cash Contest. And the

49
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: word this hour is dollar, dollaar dollar. You have got

50
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: until fifty five past the hour, that is three point

51
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: fifty five PM to go to our website and enter

52
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: the keyword dollar to enter the contest for this hour.

53
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: If your entry is picked at random, one thousand of

54
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: those dollars in your pocket. However, if you're listening to

55
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: us in New York City, probably nine hundred and fifty

56
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: five of those dollars. We'll go to the new socialist

57
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: government headed by actual communist Zoron Mom Donnie. Now, his

58
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: supporters will say, Dan, Dan, Dan, He's not an actual communist.

59
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: He's a democratic socialist, just like AOC, just like Bernie Sanders,

60
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: just like New York Mayor builde Blasio before him. Okay,

61
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: then why did he open up his victory speech last

62
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: night by quoting noted communist Eugene V. Devs.

63
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: Eugene Devs once said, I can see the dawn of

64
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: a better day for humanity.

65
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: Well, I can see the dawn of a whole lot

66
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: of failure, of high in the sky, pigh in the sky,

67
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: utopian policies in New York City. But Mamdani went on

68
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: to shout out his coalition of working people, immigrants, all

69
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: who propelled him to victory.

70
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: Thank you to those so often forgotten by the politics

71
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: of our city who made this movement their own. I

72
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: speak of Yemeny bodega owners and Mexican abuelas, Senegalese taxi drivers,

73
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: and who'sbeck nurses, Trinidadian line coachs and Ethiopian aunties, Yes, aunties.

74
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: That, of course was a reference to his obvious lie

75
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: about his auntie being scared to wear her he job

76
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: after nine to eleven. His auntie, of course, the true

77
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: victim of nine to eleven in New York. Notice he

78
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: did not say any Irish, Americans, any Italians, Germans, Polish people. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

79
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 1: His coalition is most assuredly not those people only. It

80
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: was do you know the single strongest voting demographic that

81
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: showed up for Zorn, mom donnie, It was, in fact,

82
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: white college educated women between the ages of eighteen and

83
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: twenty nine. Women as a whole, according to exit polls,

84
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: voted eighty four percent in that age demographic, eighty four

85
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: percent for Zorn Mamdani and just twelve percent for Andrew Cuomo. Now,

86
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: for those saying that if just Curtis Sliwo would have

87
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: gotten out of the race, mam Donni would have gone

88
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: down to defeat, that is simply not true. Mam Donni's

89
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: coalition was simply far, far too strong. There is not

90
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: a one to one of Curtis Sliwa voter would naturally

91
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: go over to Andrew Cuomo if, in fact Sliwa would

92
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: have dropped out of the race. It didn't help that

93
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: Sliwa was in the race. But I think, as I

94
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: said yesterday, in previewing these elections, New York was always

95
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: sort of fated to go Communists. Now, why did mom

96
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: donni focus so much on the Osbecky line? Cooks and

97
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: the Ethiopian aunties and every stereotype that he could possibly

98
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: think of. Seriously, is there a more racist person in

99
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: America than a radical leftist? You notice he didn't talk

100
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: about who's Becky lawyers or Ethiopian doctor.

101
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: Thank you to those so often forgotten by the politics

102
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: of our city who made this movement their own. I

103
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: speak of Yemeny bodega owners and Mexican abuelas, Senegalese taxi drivers,

104
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: and who's bec nurses, Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties, yes, aunties,

105
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: Sorry you Trinidadians in New York City.

106
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: Zoran only thinks of you as line cooks. But here's

107
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: the thing. Here's the thing that none of these Champagne

108
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: socialists and Nepo babies like Zron Mamdani very clearly is

109
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: this is not a man of the people. He grew

110
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 1: up very wealthy. His mother and father are both very

111
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: high income earners. His father is a university professor, his

112
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: mother is a filmmaker. The guy spent most of his

113
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: adult life trying to make it as a rapper. For

114
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: goodness sakes, and this wasn't exactly eminem from eight mile

115
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: trying to make it in the projects by winning rap battles.

116
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: This was a guy who was putting out raps on tiktoks.

117
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. According to exit polls, and this

118
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: is the phenomenal thing about modern American socialism or in

119
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: this case, open communism, it does not appeal to actual

120
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: working people if you break down exit polling, and exit

121
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: polling can be all over the place. But this is

122
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: well in line with pretty much every poll that we

123
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: have seen in recent history about far left candidates. They'd

124
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: no longer appeal to people with lower education levels, who

125
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: presumably would make up more of a blue collar working

126
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: class voter base among those who never attended college. This

127
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: is actually one of the larger demographics in voting. In

128
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: New York City, twenty percent of voters never attended college.

129
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: They had a high school degree, maybe they didn't finish

130
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: high school. They went for CUOMO forty seven percent to

131
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: thirty nine. How about those who attended college but did

132
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: not finish, did not get a degree, They went for

133
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: CUOMO forty eight percent to forty percent. Now you would

134
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: presume that those who either attended college and didn't finish

135
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: or never attended college, that would be your workers who

136
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: are rising up for Zohran Mamdani. That's the line, Cooks,

137
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: that's the text. Drivers. These are the working class people

138
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: who are going to foment la revolucione in New York.

139
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: Behind comrade Mom Donnie, right behind El presidente Mom Donnie. No,

140
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: they didn't because they understand in a very real sense,

141
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: unlike their more educated peers, how devastating economically socialism and

142
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: communism actually are. For those who achieved an associate's degree,

143
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: i e. A two year degree or something like that,

144
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 1: that was just eight percent of the electorate. Still there

145
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: you are seeing Andrew Cuomo with forty eight percent and

146
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: forty five percent for Mom Donnie. So even those who

147
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: are a little higher up on the educational scale, you

148
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: are seeing people also who are likely to be more

149
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: working class. And folks, before you get insulted and you say, hey, Dan,

150
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: I never went to college and I have an incredibly

151
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: successful plumbing business or something like that. I went into

152
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: the trades, I went into the military. I'm incredibly successful.

153
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: I know. I know, folks, Folks. What I am saying

154
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: is the fact that you're listening to me is making

155
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: my point that you are all conservatives, because you have

156
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: real world, common sense understanding of how economics actually work.

157
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: Unlike the people with bachelor's degrees who went fifty seven

158
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: percent to thirty seven percent for Zorn Mamdanni. How about

159
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: those with advanced degrees. They made up twenty seven percent

160
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: of the electorate last night, fifty seven percent to thirty

161
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: seven percent, an identical percentage for Zoorron mam Donnie. Those

162
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: are the people. The higher income earners, the highly educated,

163
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: the bourgeoisie that Zorn Mamdanni claims to hate so much

164
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: are actually the people who voted for him. So why

165
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: did he talk about all of the foreigners and specifically

166
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: exclude white people, just regular old white people. Because while

167
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: nobody was asking in exit polls about just how many

168
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: foreign born people actually voted for Zorn Mandani, and they

169
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: didn't ask. My guess is because they didn't actually want

170
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: to know the results. But you can sort of infer

171
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: who was foreign born and who is a native New

172
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: Yorker or who is American born from this question how

173
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: long have you lived in New York City? People who

174
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: were born in New York City. This is forty seven percent,

175
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: almost half of the people who voted in New York

176
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: last night went forty five percent to thirty four percent

177
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: for Andrew Cuomo. They also went seventeen percent for the

178
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: Republican Curtis Sliwa. So we have got sixty one percent

179
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: of the vote. Nearly two thirds of native born New

180
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: Yorkers people were born in New York, They lived there

181
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: their entire life. They are voting against the Communists. How

182
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: about people who have been here for less than five years?

183
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: And weird, less than five years sort of coincides with oh,

184
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, a massive influx of both legal and

185
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants into the country under Joe Biden. And what's

186
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: the city that has been home to an insane number

187
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: of immigrants since its inception? Why the city with Lady Liberty?

188
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: Of course, New York. They went, are you ready for this?

189
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: People who have lived in New York City for less

190
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: than five years? This is just six percent of the electorate,

191
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,359
Speaker 1: which actually tracks with the number of immigrants recent immigrants

192
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: to this country. Eighty three percent of them voted for

193
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: Zoron Mamdani. Those who have been in New York five

194
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: to ten years. An additional eight percent of the voting

195
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: base seventy six percent went for Zorn mam Donni. In fact,

196
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: the longer you lived in New York, the less likely,

197
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: far less likely you are to vote for mom Donnie.

198
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: You've lived here ten plus years, but you were not

199
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: born in New York City. Fifty four percent go to

200
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: mam Donni, thirty eight percent for Andrew Cuomo. A negligible

201
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: percentage goes for Curtis Sliwan. My point in all of

202
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: this is that socialism and openly radically left wing government

203
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: ownership arguments are not actually being aimed at people anymore

204
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: who are economically middle or lower class. Those people are

205
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: more likely to be conservative, or at least be extremely

206
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: skeptical of left wing socialism. The people who are actually

207
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: embracing the BS are ironically the people who should have

208
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: been learning in college or in graduate school that so

209
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: socialism has failed. Communism has failed every single place it

210
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: has been tried. The point in all of this, though,

211
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: is to try to appeal to that racial demagogery, to

212
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: appeal to the idea that we are not all one people.

213
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: New York was always known as what the center of

214
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: the world, a cultural melting pot where people would come

215
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: and they would keep their ethnic or racial identities but

216
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: they would also contribute to a bustling metropolis that took

217
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: from every culture and made it completely uniquely American. Now,

218
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: people like Zorn Mamdanian, pretty much every left winger in

219
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party doesn't want that. They want you not

220
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: to be an Uzbeki American or an Ethiopian American, but

221
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: in Uzbeki who happens to be in America, an Ethiopian

222
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: who happens to be in America. And the message is

223
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: always that you are not oppressed economically, because it's very,

224
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: very difficult to make the case to somebody who risked

225
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: life and limb to get to the United States legally

226
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: or illegally, who uprooted their entire lives to come here

227
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: for the promise of a better future for themselves and

228
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: their families, that America is just so horrible. It's this

229
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: capitalist hellscape, and therefore you need to vote for the

230
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: collectivists to solve all your economic woes. A lot of

231
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: these people don't have economic woes the likes of which

232
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: they had in the places that they fled, So you

233
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: need to pitch them on racial politics. You need to

234
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: pitch them on the idea that white people, especially heterosexual

235
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: Christian white people are your enemy, and that the socialists

236
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: are going to be the ones to protect you from

237
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: the new ruling class, the new bourgeoisie, and those are

238
00:16:53,200 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: the whites. Zoorn Mamdani perfectly captured the left wing zeitgeist

239
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: that has never really left the Democrat Party from the

240
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: bat old days of twenty twenty in the George Floyd's

241
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: Summer of Love. This is all about racial politics, and

242
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: do you know the people who are falling for it

243
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: the hardest? Ironically enough, it is not the supposedly oppressed

244
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: racial minorities. It is left wing, college educated white women.

245
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: We'll get into that when the Dan O'Donnell show returns

246
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: in just three minutes.

247
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: Senegalese taxi drivers and who'sbec nurses, Trinidadian line coach and

248
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 2: Ethiopian aunties, Yes, aunties.

249
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: You know the ultimate irony of that. The only people

250
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: who are buying that bs are liberal white women tip

251
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: between the ages of eighteen and twenty nine. In fact,

252
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: in all three major elections, gubernatorial elections in New Jersey

253
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: and Virginia, and of course you heard Zoran Mamdani there

254
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 1: the mayoral election in New York, women aged eighteen to

255
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: twenty nine voted between seventy five percent and eighty four

256
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: percent for the most left wing candidate. Just focusing on

257
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: the mayoral election in New York, women eighteen to twenty nine,

258
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: who made up just six percent of the electorate, voted

259
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: eighty four percent for mam Donni just twelve percent for

260
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo. Women aged thirty to forty four fourteen percent

261
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: of the electric They voted sixty five percent for Zoron Mamdanni.

262
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: It seems as though I've been rather hard on the

263
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: old boomer Libs lately, But it seems as though women

264
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: forty five to sixty four and women sixty five plus

265
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: understand I think, after decades of living through the Cold

266
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: War how bad communism actually is. Women sixty five plus

267
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: voted fifty seven percent to just thirty five percent for

268
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: Andrew Cuomo. Now I want you to take a look

269
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: at in New Jersey. In New Jersey, where Mikey Cheryl

270
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: defeated Jack Chitarelli to win the gubernatorial race, we see

271
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. Women eighteen to twenty nine eighty

272
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: one percent for Cheryl, Women thirty to forty four seventy

273
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: one percent for Cheryl. Once you start getting older again,

274
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: you start to see that breakdown. Men, by the way

275
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: they are voting Republican. We have a massive gender gap

276
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: in this country, especially with women eighteen to twenty nine.

277
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: I think the only reasonable solution, of course, is to

278
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: take away women's right to vote. They have proven themselves

279
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: over the past century irresponsible with it. Will still let

280
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: you drive, ladies, but you don't have the I'm kidding,

281
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 1: of course. Watch this be a massive scandal for weeks

282
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: in the Journal Sentinel. I'm kidding rather obviously. I'm kidding.

283
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: Women eighteen to twenty nine in the Virginia gubernatorial race

284
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: eighty one percent. Abigail Spanberger for the Republican Winsome Earl

285
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: series just nineteen percent. Same thing, seventy one percent women

286
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: thirty to forty four. Here's the one that's really disturbing.

287
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: Jay Jones, who became a national figure when it was

288
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: revealed shortly after Charlie Kirk's assassination that in twenty twenty two,

289
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: he was sending texts to Republicans saying that the then

290
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: speaker of the Virginia House of Representatives, a Republican, deserve

291
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: to die. He wanted to see him dead and he

292
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: also wanted to see the poor man's children dead because

293
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: I guess Jay Jones is a psychopath. Seventy six percent

294
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: of women eighteen to twenty nine voted for him, sixty

295
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 1: five percent of women thirty to forty four. A couple

296
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: of days ago, Fox News on the Harris Faulkner Program

297
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: did a focus group with New York voters. They just

298
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 1: picked random people off the street. And I want you

299
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: to listen to Amanda, who seems like she would be

300
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: on the older edge of the thirty to forty four demographic.

301
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: I have no idea how old she is. Just looking

302
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: at her, I'm going to go mid forties, maybe a

303
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: little bit older. I want you to listen very carefully

304
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: to what it is she cares about and how I

305
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: want you to think it is possible to ever reason

306
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: with someone who has these as their top priority.

307
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 3: What's really important in standing out for me right now

308
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: is if we can take ourselves like a high level

309
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 3: like not say immigration, not say economy, not say all

310
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 3: the hot talking points, and just ask ourselves, how are

311
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 3: we treating our neighbors? Like how are we treating one another?

312
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: And is it okay that Yesterday on Saturday, forty two

313
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: million of our neighbors no longer can feed themselves.

314
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: It is okay?

315
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 3: Is it okay that our neighbors are getting taken off

316
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 3: the streets by ice? Is it okay that gender affirming

317
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: care is being taken from young people who really need

318
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: it to survive? Is it okay that the Supreme Court

319
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 3: has now justified racial profiling. That's not how I want

320
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 3: to treat my neighbor.

321
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: So let's gloss over the issues that don't really matter

322
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: to anybody, like you know, the economy, and let's focus

323
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: on this stuff that really matters. Whether we can lob

324
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: the penises off of fourteen year old boys, that's what

325
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: matters to Amanda. Now, I want you to think about

326
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: the fact that there are millions of Amandas who vote,

327
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: There are millions of Amandas in swing states, and all

328
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: of those Amandas have been fully radicalized by the PAP

329
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: that people like Zoorn Mamdani are spewing your Venezuelan line,

330
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,959
Speaker 1: cook or whoever he was name dropping in his speech,

331
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: are tuning him out because they say signor we fled that,

332
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: we think you're a crazy person. You want another stat

333
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: By the way, while we're talking about lobbying the penises

334
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: off of fourteen year olds. Eighty six percent of New

335
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: Yorkers do not identify as lgbt QIA plus minus ampersand

336
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: exclamation point fourteen percent do. Among those eighty six percent,

337
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: Mamdanni and Andrew Cuomo were tied. I want you to

338
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 1: think about who overwhelmingly won for Ziron Mamdani, people who

339
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: once again feel oppressed, not economically, because economic socialism and

340
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: pure communism Marxism in its economic basis makes absolutely no

341
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: sense in the United States of America, because everybody, relatively

342
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: speaking to everywhere else on the rest of the world

343
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 1: is so phenomenally wealthy. You are wealthier regardless of who

344
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: you are. The fact that you are listening to me

345
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: right now on a magical device that is either beaming

346
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: radio waves right to you in your car, or maybe

347
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: on this magical little thing that you hold in your

348
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: pocket every single minute of every single day that contains

349
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: the sum total of all of humanity's knowledge. We are

350
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: wealthier than every king who ever lived before us. Mansa

351
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: Mootsa was considered the wealthiest man on art. He was

352
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 1: an African king. He took it trip to Mecca with

353
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: something like sixty thousand people in his retinue. He is

354
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: a fraction of as wealthy as the person who is

355
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: on food stamps right now. Why because well, Mansa Musa

356
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: died of disease on the trip back from Mecca. We

357
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: have medical care, and yes, it is available to all Americans.

358
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: It is called emergency care. And no, healthcare is not

359
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: a right. Health care is a product. But it's a

360
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: product that we are wealthy enough to provide to everybody

361
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: in this country. You can't make an economic socialist argument.

362
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: You can't. They can try. They can say, well, billionaires

363
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: and millionaires are taking all of your hard earned money.

364
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 1: Now you'll notice that Bernie Sanders stopped including millionaires in

365
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: his talking points when he himself became a millionaire. I

366
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: will once again use this opportunity to call for mister

367
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: Senator Sanders to give me one of his three houses,

368
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: which would make us he has three houses. I have

369
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: one house. If he does not, I will be forced

370
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: to presume that he doesn't actually practice what he preaches.

371
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: In fact, Mamdani himself lived a life of privilege. Yes,

372
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: he is an immigrant to this country from Uganda. Guess

373
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: why he came to the United States from Uganda when

374
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: he was very very young, I believe six years old.

375
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: He came to this country because his parents understood that

376
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: America was the place where dreams come true. Why because

377
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: we have socialism that distributes wealth evenly to all people. Know,

378
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: because they were very well educated, they were very talented,

379
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: they're very intelligent, and they realized that America is the

380
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: place that you can go to make your dreams come

381
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: true based on how smart you are, hard working you are,

382
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: what you're willing to do, what you're willing to risk

383
00:26:53,760 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: to make those dreams come true. That's capitalism, folks. But

384
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: when you're able to put the Marxist spin on racial

385
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: identity politics and claim that you'll never actually get ahead,

386
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: you might think you're getting ahead because well, you're making

387
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, you've got a really

388
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: nice apartment, and you've got a great girlfriend, and you've

389
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: got a family that loves you. You will never actually

390
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: be able to seize institutional power in this country because

391
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: of those white people that are constantly keeping you down.

392
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: And make no mistake, that is the message that is sent.

393
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: The message that has been sent to liberal white women

394
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: is that you will never be able to be free

395
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: because a man is always going to decide about what

396
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: your bodily autonomy, your right to kill the children who

397
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: are living inside you. They successfully turned a single issue

398
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: abortion into a weaponized bludgeon, into a political dagger that

399
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: they have been using to knife for Republicans ever since

400
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade was overturned. That was this seminal moment.

401
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: I think for liberal white women, they never much liked

402
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, but Roe v. Wade was the thing that

403
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: put them far left. That's ultimately what this is. And

404
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: this is a big, big problem for Republicans because we

405
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: have to win elections, folks. Without Trump on the ballot.

406
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to go down in history as

407
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: one of the most transformative figures in the history of

408
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: not just this country but the world. And now he's

409
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: gone electorally speaking. He obviously is president for another three

410
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: and a quarter years, but he's not going to be

411
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: on the ballot. He is not going to be walking

412
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: down or coming down the escalator to galvanize all of

413
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: the people who do respond to these popular arguments, whether

414
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: it's economic populism that Trump was talking about, whether it's

415
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: America First, national populism and restoring pride in America that

416
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: first catapulted President Trump to the political stratosphere, or whether

417
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: it's this racial demagoguery us versus them, minority, race and

418
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: gender and sexuality, proletariat versus white male, heterosexual Christian bourgeoisie

419
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: oppressors versus suppressed. It is an incredibly powerful politics, but ultimately,

420
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: at its core, Democrats still are sattled with communism and

421
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: leave it to President Trump to come up with the

422
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: perfect slogan to lead us into twenty twenty six and beyond.

423
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: We'll get to that next. Well, it is the Dan

424
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: o'donald Show. Welcome back to it. We will get into

425
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: some of those other election results and talk about how

426
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: we're simultaneously as conservatives, I think, overreacting and underreacting. And

427
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: I am going to prove that this was not just

428
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: blue states and a very very deep blue city that

429
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: elected Democrats and in New York City's case, an open

430
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: communist and this is nothing that Republicans should be worried about.

431
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: By talking about Bucks County, Pennsylvania, do you know Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

432
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: It was the place that President Trump actually went to

433
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: go work out a McDonald's before last year's election, now

434
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: one year ago. Today, we are going to talk about

435
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: why Republicans should be incredibly worried about what happened last

436
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: night in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and what they can do

437
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: to ensure that it doesn't happen in say Walka, Shaw County, Wisconsin.

438
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: Coming up in the four o'clock hour here on the

439
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show. I have to get to this text

440
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: that I got about fifteen minutes ago before we started

441
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: talking about the plague of young, college educated white liberal women.

442
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: From a college educated white woman in her thirties, presumably

443
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: a big conservative, She writes, I can't wait to hear

444
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: your thoughts about college educated white women falling for this

445
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: socialism charade. I am a college educated white woman in

446
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: my thirties, although conservative, and I do think there is

447
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: a big component of young women who think about what

448
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: they should do or should think. There is a lot

449
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: of pressure, especially on social media, about image and optics,

450
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: and I think we can be easily influenced by others.

451
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: It's interesting because this makes me think about the young

452
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: Ukrainian woman who is murdered on the train a couple

453
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: of months ago that was in North Carolina. When I

454
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: heard the story, people said I can't believe she would

455
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: sit in front of a black man who is talking

456
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: to himself, or that she should have been more careful.

457
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: It's interesting because I often take the thought of see,

458
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm not racist, I can sit next to a black

459
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: man on the train, or see I'm not judge, I

460
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: can walk next to a dangerous looking person on the sidewalk.

461
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: I wonder if some of the people who voted for

462
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie think, see, I am not one of those trumpers.

463
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: I am a good person. I can share my wealth,

464
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: or whatever negative thoughts they might have about conservatives are.

465
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: I hope some of this makes sense. Sorry, this feels

466
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: like one big run on sentence. Haha. Thanks for a

467
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: great show. It is absolutely not, dear listener. That is

468
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of what the overwhelming majority of I believe,

469
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: not just young liberal white women, but Democrats are. It

470
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: is all about image consciousness and projecting a sense of

471
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: self dene the world that yes, I am a good person.

472
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: It's image crafting, it's virtue signaling. People want to be

473
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: thought of as good people, as successful people, as loving people.

474
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: What I always say is we are always the heroes

475
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: in our own stories, that what we think and what

476
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: we say about ourselves is always going to therefore be

477
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: in the most positive light possible, unless, of course, we're

478
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: like really clinically depressed and we can't think of a

479
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: positive thing to say about ourselves. What we want to

480
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,239
Speaker 1: do and what we want to be thought of is

481
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: as good, kind hearted people. What Democrats have been able

482
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: to do forever is to weaponize that idea, to make

483
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: it seem as though the only way that you can

484
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: actually be a good person, and just as importantly, the

485
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: only way that you can show others that you're a

486
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: good person is by voting for the people. People who

487
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: care about others. Those mean Republicans, they don't care about others.

488
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: They just want to hoard their wealth, and they want

489
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: to shut off food stamp benefits for the poor. We Democrats,

490
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: we don't want to do that. We want everybody to

491
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: be able to eat. Never mind the fact that we

492
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: have actually voted to shut down the government fourteen times,

493
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: where all it would take is five Democrat senators to

494
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: join with every single Republican senator and every single Republican

495
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: House member, and the government would be reopened today by

496
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: the way, coming up in the daily Trump Date at

497
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: the start of next hour the leaders of the House

498
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: and Senate, weirdly enough, demanding a meeting with the President today,

499
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: the date after the elections. Now they want to reopen

500
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: the government. Okay, Hakeim, okay, Chuck. We see this for

501
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: the political charad that it was. Yes, I wanted to

502
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: prove that I am a very educated person by saying

503
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: charad instead of charade. You see, I can even virtue

504
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: signal myself, folks. Ultimately, voting for Democrats has always been

505
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 1: seen by democrats and by influence peddlers. Not exactly what

506
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean, like not like you know, loan sharks and Mafio,

507
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: so influence pedlars. What I mean by influencers and by

508
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: people who are taste makers, I guess is what I'm

509
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: thinking of taste makers. The idea going all the way

510
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: back to Rock the Vote. When I was a kid,

511
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: Rock the Vote mtvs. Rock the Vote was the big thing,

512
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: and all the cool bands and all the cool rappers,

513
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: they were all rocking votes, right, And if you were

514
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: not rocking the vote, which was of course something that

515
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: was designed to get young people to vote for left

516
00:35:55,120 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: wing candidates, you are implicitly not cool. Virtue signal is

517
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: a very powerful component of the Democrat toolbook. It's envy,

518
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: it's virtue signaling, it's racial demagogery, all of it working

519
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: in this perverse boolia base to try to convince people

520
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: to vote. And yes, it's especially effective in young women.

521
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: That is an excellent text, absolutely excellent text. Unhinged Liberal next,

522
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: racial sexual gender, identity, demagogery, and virtue singling. Those are

523
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: the three tenants they want you to communicate to others.

524
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 1: They want you to think of yourself as a good

525
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: person because you vote for the people who care. They

526
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: want you to be envious of those who you perceive

527
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: as having more than you. And they want you to

528
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: be in your own demographic box. You are a woman first,

529
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: you are a gay person first. You are an Ethiopian first,

530
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: and an American second. All right, all right, all right,

531
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: my producer is saying, hurriata, parieta, horiata. We do have

532
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: to get to the unhinged liberal of the day. I'm

533
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna cut it a little bit short. Uh.

534
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: This guy goes on for a while. I suspect we're

535
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: going to talk about this later. On in the show

536
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: Here We Go, we are in pre Nazi Germany. Cough

537
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: is dangerous because he's evil America. Today's hinge liberal of

538
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: the day is Hassan Piker, the very popular communist streamer

539
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: who was at Zoron Mamdani's victory party last night and

540
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: said it was a tragedy that the US defeated the

541
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: USSR in the Cold War?

542
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 4: Are you beginning then?

543
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 3: This guy right of the socialis and anti communism did

544
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 3: a word to stop him.

545
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 2: That's it.

546
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we are in the heart of the

547
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 5: imperial core. This is the country that defeated the USSR, unfortunately,

548
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 5: and the reality of the matter is there's a lot

549
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 5: of antagonism. There's no class consciousness in the United States

550
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 5: of America. Is one of the things I try to

551
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 5: address every day with my commentary.

552
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: He goes on to say, but now people are finally

553
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: waking up. Yes, he is lamenting the fact that the

554
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: United States defeated the USSR, which in a sense it

555
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: didn't actually do. The USSR defeated itself because it went broke,

556
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: because that's what communist governments always do. They go broke

557
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of people die. Sort of the

558
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: way of the world. Hassan Piker, You're unhinged Liberal of

559
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: the day. More on the elections, daily Trump date and

560
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: more coming up after the news. Why Bucks County, Pennsylvania

561
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: matters far more than New York City when it comes

562
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: to analyzing last night's elections. Coming up in the second

563
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: hour of the Dan O'Donell Show. It is a big one.

564
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 1: You're not going to want to miss this. Plus, President Trump,

565
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: I think had the line of the election, and if

566
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,279
Speaker 1: Republicans are smart, they are going to use it. We

567
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: are going to sort of weave in and out of

568
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: election coverage because the President also did mark a huge

569
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: anniversary today one year since his election, which completed the

570
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: single biggest political comeback I dare say in American history.

571
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 1: The man was convicted thirty four times in a kangaroo

572
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: court in New York. By the way, do you think

573
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:38,879
Speaker 1: the prosecution of political enemies in New York is going

574
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 1: to increase or decrease with an open communist in power?

575
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: By the way, Van Jones, of all people, we'll try

576
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,479
Speaker 1: to get to this a little bit later, was very

577
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: surprised at the change in tone of actually actually producer

578
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 1: Eric can we get this right now since I'm talking

579
00:39:55,880 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: about it, Van Jones, CNN Commentatories. He's a socialist himself,

580
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: and this was back when socialism was the dirty word

581
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: in Democrat politics. He was actually forced to leave the

582
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: Obama White House back in two thousand and nine because

583
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 1: it was revealed he was a socialist. He was very,

584
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: very surprised that the Zoron mom Donnie we heard in

585
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: the victory speech screaming about Ethiopian line cooks and Venezuelan

586
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 1: Ofuela's sounded much harsher and much less friendly and warm

587
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: and welcoming than the Zoran mom Donnie that we heard

588
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: on the campaign trail. Hey, welcome to socialist politics.

589
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 6: Van.

590
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 7: I think the mom Donnie that we saw in the

591
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 7: campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was

592
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 7: a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was

593
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 7: not present in that speech. Ah, And I think that

594
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 7: mom Donnie is the one you need to hear from tonight.

595
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 7: There are a lot of people trying to figure out

596
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 7: can I get on this train with him or not?

597
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 7: Is he gonna include me? Is he going is he

598
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 7: going to be more of a class warrior even in office?

599
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 7: I think he missed a cance tonight to open up

600
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 7: and bring more people into the tent. I think its

601
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 7: tone was sharp. I think he was using the microphone

602
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 7: in a way that he was almost yelling. And that's

603
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 7: not the mom thinking that we've seen on TikTok and

604
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,919
Speaker 7: the great interviews and stuff like that. So I felt

605
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 7: like it was a little bit of a character switch here,

606
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 7: where the warm character is an open, embracing guy that's

607
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 7: close to working people, was not on stage night. There

608
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 7: was some other voice on stage.

609
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: That's just some weird voice. This was not Zorron Mark

610
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: van Jones down for wanting kinder warmer red lines.

611
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 8: We're gonna win so much you may even get tired

612
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 8: of winning.

613
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: Some just keeps waiting. It is a win for the administration.

614
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: It's also a big win for the United States. We

615
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: have to keep winning.

616
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 3: We have to win Moore.

617
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 4: We're gonna win Moore.

618
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: President Trump started his day by meeting with Republican senators

619
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: in an effort to reopen the federal government shutdown, which

620
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: is now, as of late last night, the longest in

621
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: American history. Wouldn't you know it, Hakim Jeffrey's leader of

622
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: Democrats in the House, of Representatives and Chuck Schumer, Democrat

623
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: leader in the Senate, sent a letter today after the

624
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: polls closed, after Democrats won the elections, saying we need,

625
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: we demand, actually to meet with the President to reopen

626
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: the federal government. Now. Of course, Democrats are going to

627
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: be allowed to quietly cave now that they don't need

628
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: to look tough in front of their increasingly radicalized base.

629
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 1: After that, the President took off for Miami. In the

630
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: American Business Forum, he was presented the key to the

631
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: city by one of the few Republican mayors in America

632
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 1: who runs a big city, Miami's Francis Suarez. The President

633
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: marked one year since his re election big.

634
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 8: Today, on the one year anniversary of the single most

635
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 8: consequential election victory. They say this is them. This doesn't

636
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 8: mean I'm a very modest person. I would never say

637
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 8: this the single most consequential election victory in American This

638
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 8: is possible.

639
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:22,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's possible.

640
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 8: We've done a lot. On November fifth, twenty twenty four,

641
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 8: the American people reclaimed our government. We restored our sovereignty.

642
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 8: We lost a little bit of sovereignty last night in

643
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 8: New York.

644
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: But we'll take care of it. Don't worry about.

645
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 8: We rescued our economy, regained our liberty, and together we

646
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 8: saved our country.

647
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: The President touted the economic successes of the first nine

648
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: months of his term.

649
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 8: In nine months, we've lifted over six hundred thousand Americans

650
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,919
Speaker 8: off of food STAPs, which is a record. One point

651
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 8: nine million more American born workers are employed today. I

652
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 8: think of that, almost two American born workers are employed

653
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 8: today more than when I took off, as that's nine

654
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 8: months ago.

655
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: Can you imagine.

656
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 8: And I tell Republicans, you want to win elections, you

657
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,359
Speaker 8: got to talk about these facts. You know, it's really

658
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 8: easy to win elections when you talk about the facts.

659
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 8: And we have more people working now than at any

660
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 8: time in the history.

661
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: Of our country. And not only that, the President said,

662
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,720
Speaker 1: wage growth has been off the chart, especially for the

663
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 1: very working people that the new Communist Mayor of New

664
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: York claims to be standing up.

665
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 8: For, arising at the fastest pace in over sixty years.

666
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: As the workers. And that's what we love. We love

667
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: the workers.

668
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 8: Since I took off, as wages for the typical factory

669
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 8: worker or up three hundred dollars, construction workers pay us

670
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 8: up two two hundred dollars, and miners are up nearly

671
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 8: five thousand dollars this year alone.

672
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: Just absolutely remarkable the turnaround that this president has been

673
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: able to engineer. And he said, the only thing that

674
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: is able to even slow him down is this government shutdown.

675
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: He again called for Senate Majority Leader, Minority Leader, excuse me,

676
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer to reopen the government.

677
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 8: A time for Chuck Schumer, the radical Democrat Congress to

678
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 8: stop playing games with the people's lives and to pass

679
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 8: a clean funding bill that they've done thirty times before,

680
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 8: and the reopen government immediately, just reopen it.

681
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: Well, they're more likely than they were twenty four hours

682
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: ago to do so that, ladies and gentlemen, your daily

683

Speaker 1: the White House, in the federal government and beyond. Right

00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,480
Speaker 1: coming up on the end of the Full Fortune Cash contest,

00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: if you can believe it. It runs through November fourteenth.

695
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: It's a little earlier of an end this year. Normally

696
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: we go to about the Friday before Thanksgiving. We started

697
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: it a little earlier. I believe as well. I have

698
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,200

00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: email me anytime DD at iHeartMedia dot com. I told

706
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: you that President Trump spent his morning meeting with Republican senators,

707
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: and apparently there was a very strong pitch to simply

708
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 1: get rid of the filibuster in the Senate. Before Trump

709
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: and the senators met in closed session away from the press,

710
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 1: President Trump talked openly about his desire to get rid

711
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: of the Philipps.

712
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 8: It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do,

713
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 8: and that's terminate the filibuster. It's the only way you

714
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 8: can do it. And if you don't terminate the philibuster,

715
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 8: you'll be in bad shack. We won't pass any legislation.

716
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 8: There'll be no legislation passed for three and a quarter.

717
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 8: We have three and a quarter years, so it's a

718
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 8: long time.

719
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: Now, the President said, without this sixty vote threshold, And

720
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: that's what the filibuster is. I think I've explained this

721
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: a lot on this program, but there are still some

722
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: who are kind of unsure what a philibuster is. It's

723
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,919
Speaker 1: an archaic thing, I mean, but it is a very

724
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: powerful tool that the minority has in a Senate to

725
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 1: the majority from just running roughshod with a simple majority.

726
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: So the filibuster essentially stops a bill in its tracks

727
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: until there is a cloture vote. Now, a traditional filibuster

728
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: like mister Smith goes to Washington where you had Jimmy

729
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: Stewart just talking until he collapsed, you no longer have

730
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: to hold the floor physically. Now, Democrats have done performative filibusters,

731
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: I think most recently it was Corey Booker who talked

732
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: for hours and hours and hours, days and days and

733
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: days about nothing. It was a political stunt. It was

734
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: designed to gain attention for Corey Booker and it did

735
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: nothing else. Well, that's how philibusters used to work. You

736
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: would hold the floor and no other business of the

737
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: Senate could get done until you were done talking. Well,

738
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:58,720
Speaker 1: long about the early nineteen hundreds, we developed the Senate

739
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:04,239
Speaker 1: developed a two system for legislation, realizing that filibusters were

740
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: just slowing everything down. Think of a train track and

741
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: there is a separate track where a car can veer off.

742
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: So if there are a bunch of train cars that

743
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: are backed up behind the one that's being filibustered, you

744
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:23,240
Speaker 1: simply move it on to the separate track. That bill

745
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: is stopped until there can be what's known as a

746
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: cloture vote, which requires sixty votes in order to end

747
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: the filibuster. Then there can be action on that bill.

748
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: But the other cars, the other bills that were stopped

749
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: behind the filibustered bill, go onto a separate track, and

750
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: the Senate simply takes those up. As a result, the

751
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: number of filibusters just exploded. Now I have been on

752
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: the record, and I still maintain that it is a

753
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 1: phenomenally bad idea to nuke the filibuster. That's exactly what

754
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 1: democrats want. Precisely what democrats want. But President Trump makes

755
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: a very good point. Democrats were going to do it

756
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 1: with a simple majority the last time they had power.

757
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: The only reason they didn't you had Kirsten Cinema, Senator

758
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:20,760
Speaker 1: from Arizona, and you had Joe Manchin, Senator from West Virginia,

759
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: siding with the Republicans to not allow the Democrats to

760
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,919
Speaker 1: do it. Where are Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema. They're

761
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: not in the Senate anymore. Every other Democrat voted to

762
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: get rid of the philibuster. Trump is saying, who cares

763
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: what Democrats are likely to do next? If we're so

764
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: scared that if we do this, then Democrats are going

765
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 1: to use the ended philibuster to do whatever they're going

766
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: to do that anyway, why don't we nuke the filibuster? Now,

767
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 1: reopen the government and get done the things that we

768
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 1: want done.

769
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 8: We should start tonight with the country's open congratulations. Then

770
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 8: we should pass voter ID, we should pass no mail

771
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 8: in voting, we should pass all the things that we

772
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 8: wanted to pass make our elections secure. And say because

773
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 8: California is a disaster. Many of the states are disasters.

774
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 8: But can you imagine when they vote almost unanimously against

775
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 8: voter ID. All we want is voter ID. You go

776
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 8: to a grocery store, you have to give ID. You

777
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 8: go to a gas station, you give ID. But for voting,

778
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 8: they want no voter ID. There's only for one reason,

779
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 8: because they cheat. We would pass that in fifteen minutes.

780
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 1: Trump is, of course correct. There is only one reason

781
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,399
Speaker 1: that you don't want to have voter ID, and that's

782
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 1: because you think you benefit from people who aren't able

783
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: to vote using somebody else's identity. There's no other reason

784
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: to oppose voter ID. There is truly no logical reason.

785
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,800
Speaker 1: The racist idea that well, poor black and Hispanic people

786
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: can't get IDs. It's about the most racist thing I

787
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: think I have ever heard in my life life. You

788
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: need an ID to do pretty much anything in this country. Tomorrow,

789
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: we are heading off on the Dan O'Donnell European Getaway

790
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 1: to Rome. We're taking about I think it's ninety listeners

791
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 1: give or take on a quick tour of Rome. So yes,

792
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: I will be gone Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday, but

793
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: I'll actually be back a week from today, so it

794
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: is a very very quick trip. We're not going to

795
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 1: any other cities. We're just going to see Rome, the

796
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: Colisseum Trevy, Fountain, of course, the Vatican. It's going to

797
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: be a wonderful, wonderful time. And by the way, we

798
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: are doing another one of these in April, where we

799
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: are going to Prague, one of the most beautiful and yes,

800
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 1: one of the most conservative cities in Europe. In the

801
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: Czech Republic. We do still have a couple of slots open.

802
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: Head to cruise dash tour dot com if you want

803
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: to do that. Hey, Paul Harvey has got nothing on

804
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: me for how smooth I just worked in that commercial

805
00:52:56,200 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: right into the show content and now page two rich

806
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: chocolate ovaltine. I do a media I haven't heard Paul's

807
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: voice in a while. I used to do a much

808
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: better Paul Harvey than I do now. God rest his soul. Man.

809
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: Do I love me some Paul Harvey. Paul Harvey and

810
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,799
Speaker 1: Rush Limbo I have talked ad nauseum about how they

811
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 1: are my broadcast heroes. But back to the Philipbuster. Senator

812
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson has reversed course on his long standing opposition

813
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 1: to nuking the philibuster, using the exact same logic. Democrats

814
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: are going to do it anyway. If you think the

815
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: party that just elected Zohoran Mamdani is not going to

816
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 1: do away with something that they have decried as racist

817
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 1: every single time that they find themselves in the majority

818
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 1: and have the filibuster used against them, they're not, You're nuts.

819
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,240
Speaker 1: They're they're going to get rid of it. So why

820
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: not do that first and just recognize that we can

821
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: actually get stuff done. If you are to believe that

822
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 1: Republicans are going to lose everything there is to lose

823
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: next year, then there's no reason not to do it.

824
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: But even if they do, would you believe that because

825
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: of the way the Senate map is set up? There

826
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: are no people who believe, unless there is just a

827
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: tidal wave of a blue wave next year, that Democrats

828
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 1: are going to retake the Senate, They're probably going to

829
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: retake the House, and folks, that's normal. That's usually what

830
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 1: happens in midterm elections to a party that does not

831
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 1: control the White House. They usually do very very very well.

832
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 1: Just look at the Republicans in twenty ten and twenty fourteen,

833
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: the two midterm elections of Barack Obama. There is reason

834
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: for optimism. Though that by the way, I have not

835
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: changed my stance. I think it would be a bad move.

836
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:02,720
Speaker 1: I say, allow force Democrats to do it themselves. I do, however,

837
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:07,359
Speaker 1: like Tom Emmer's solution. He's the House Majority whip, and

838
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 1: we actually had him on the program a couple of

839
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: weeks ago, very very entertaining guy. He said, what if

840
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: we do away with the philipbuster just for government shutdowns

841
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: and appropriations bills? If Democrats aren't willing to compromise on

842
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: reopening the government, I actually would be willing to compromise

843
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: on that. You're listening to the Dan o'donald show. We'll

844
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: get back into the election analysis and the slogan that

845
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: might save Republicans next year. President Trump of Courus did

846
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: respond to last night's elections, which, of course the left

847
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,920
Speaker 1: is celebrating as a giant rebuke of him, of Republicans

848
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: of conservatives everywhere. Already in Wisconsin, I saw the new

849
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: chairman of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, Devin Remicker, already celebrating

850
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: as though they have won the gubernatorial election. And he

851
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: put the F word on Tom Tiffany's face, and he said,

852
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: live look at Tom Tiffany. After watching this evening's election returns.

853
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: I actually responded to him, Devin, I would do a

854
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 1: live look at you once Mandela Barnes hops in the race.

855
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 1: But showing a man defecating in his pants is a

856
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 1: violation of x's terms of service. They are really that

857
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: terrified of Mandela getting in the race and screwing everything

858
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:45,280
Speaker 1: up because Wisconsin is not New York City. We don't

859
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:49,959
Speaker 1: support socialists. And oh, by the way, we already rejected

860
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,879
Speaker 1: mandedbeat four years ago, but he would go in as

861
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: the overwhelming favorite. So Democrats are overreacting, thinking that last

862
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: night's results mean that they can't lose anywhere in any

863
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: race at any time next year. Now that may be true,

864
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: but if there's one thing I know about politics is

865
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: that everything is always in flux. President Trump, while meeting

866
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: with Senate Republicans this morning, reacted to last night's races.

867
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 8: Last night, it was not expected to be a victory.

868
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 8: It was very Democrat areas. But I don't think it

869
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 8: was good for Republicans. I don't think it was good.

870
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 8: I'm not sure it was good for anybody, but we

871
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 8: had an interesting evening and we learned a lot.

872
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: We certainly did. We learned that Zoron Mamdani over the

873
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: next year might well be the single best thing that

874
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: can happen to Republicans. Already this morning you saw in

875
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: his daily press conference, House Speaker Mike Johnson call Mamdani

876
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 1: the new de facto leader of the Democrat Party. We

877
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: have Democrats who are flailing. They have no leader. Their

878
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 1: national leader now, as we've noted, is Mundani. He's a communist.

879
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 1: Good luck with it and good luck defeating what I

880
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 1: think needs to be the message from here on out.

881
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: It needs to be twofold one, make America great again,

882
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: needs to morph into America first, America always. And I

883
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: think this absolute banger from President Trump this morning needs

884
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 1: to be everywhere, coming out of every candidate's mouth at

885
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: all times.

886
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 8: The communist, Marxist, socialists and globalists had their chance, and.

887
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: They whoops, that's not it, that's not it. It's right here.

888
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 8: After last night results, the decision facing all Americans could

889
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 8: not be more clear. We have a choice between communism

890
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 8: and common sense.

891
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 1: That's ultimately it you can choose America communism or common sense.

892
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: Now common sense needs to be backed by America first,

893
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: America always policies. The thing that probably got President Trump

894
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: elected more than anything was the fact that life became

895
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: unaffordable for pretty much everybody. Price is absolutely skyrocketed. By

896
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: the way, Wisconsin's esteemed Congresswoman Gwen Moore posted the most

897
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 1: hilarious self owned last night. She was blaming Trump for

898
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: high gas prices and posted the graph, the chart that

899
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: showed grocery or excuse me, grocery prices that showed grocery

900
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 1: prices absolutely exploded under Joe Biden when Biden and the

901
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,960
Speaker 1: Democrats controlled the House, the Senate, and the presidency. And

902
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: they've only marginally gone up, and in fact a lot

903
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: of grocery items have actually gone down. Since President Trump

904
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 1: was first inaugurated. We haven't had deflation month over month.

905
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: There were I think there might have been one month

906
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: in there when we actually saw prices drop. The reality is,

907
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: though you don't see prices drop, the damage that Biden

908
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: did and Democrats did to this country is for the

909
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: most part irreversible. We are simply not going to be

910
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: able to afford our lives anymore, and communist policies like

911
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: those that are going to be in place in New

912
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: York are going to exacerbate those problems. I saw a

913
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: post on X I don't know if it was from

914
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 1: Unusual Whales or it was from one of those financial

915
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:37,320
Speaker 1: accounts that I follow that showed the average age of

916
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: the first time home buyer in America now first time

917
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: home buyer guess the age average forty four zero. That's

918
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 1: up from something like thirty one in twenty twenty one.

919
01:00:56,680 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: The average first time home buyer. What does that tell

920
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,479
Speaker 1: you that people who are younger. It's not that people

921
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 1: who are younger don't want to buy homes. It's not

922
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 1: that they're not getting married, and they aren't in as

923
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: great a numbers as a generation or two ag that's sure,

924
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: they're not having as many children. A lot of them

925
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 1: are often not to have children. They're pushing back adulthood. Yes,

926
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: I think that's less a function of them wanting to

927
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 1: stay man babies than the fact that they don't believe

928
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: they can afford kids. Or they are armed now with

929
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 1: the knowledge that if they can make it to age

930
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: sixty five, and statistics bear this out, if you can

931
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: make at age sixty five. Your average life expectancy now

932
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: is about eighty four as an American male, even higher

933
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: for an American female. The only reason that our life

934
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: expectancy is not significantly higher is threefold. It's homicide, suicide,

935
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 1: and drugs. That's it. Yes we have car accidents, yes

936
01:01:56,000 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: we have. But the big reasons that our life expectancy

937
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: is something in the seventies. That's totally misleading. Most people

938
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: who aren't engaged in insanely risky behavior like getting involved

939
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: in gang culture where you're likely to be shot and killed,

940
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: or getting involved in drugs where you're likely to overdose,

941
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: if you can avoid those traps, if you can avoid

942
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, car accidents and motorcycle accidents. That's a big one,

943
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: is riding a motorcycle. It is I know a lot

944
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 1: of you folks ride Harley's, but it is a significant

945
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: risk factor for early death. If you can avoid those,

946
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: people are expecting that they're going to live to eighty

947
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: five or ninety. Well with that on the horizon, and

948
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,959
Speaker 1: now it's much easier to have children later in life

949
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 1: because of advances in medical technology. People are delaying it.

950
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 1: But they're also delaying it because they simply can't afford children,

951
01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: they can't afford homes. They can't They're spending so much

952
01:02:53,960 --> 01:03:00,400
Speaker 1: more money on basic necessities like groceries, like gas, like rent.

953
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: The last four years were disastrous, and President Trump was

954
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 1: elected in large measure on a promise to undo all that.

955
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: Thus far, the trade war, the tariffs, as much as

956
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: I understand the strategy behind them, in the short term,

957
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: has not caused prices to decline. In fact, it's caused

958
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: prices to be artificially higher than they otherwise would be

959
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 1: for the goods that Americans consume and buy. If the

960
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: Supreme Court and oral arguments were today strikes down President

961
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: Trump's use of the emergency authority to unilaterally impose terraffs. Yes,

962
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 1: tariffs need to go through the Congress. The Congress did

963
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: not vote for any terarists. President Trump invoked emergency authority

964
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: that I believe he does not have, and I believe

965
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court is more likely than not to strike this. Now,

966
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 1: that might be a blessing in disguise if all of

967
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: a sudden those tariffs were to go away. In the

968
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: long term, maybe it's bad from a national security standpoint,

969
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: From a revenue generation standpoint from long term trade negotiation standpoint,

970
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 1: but in the short term it could be a gift

971
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: to Republicans. If all of a sudden there is a

972
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 1: glut of cheaper products that are more affordable, people will

973
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: feel better about their own personal finances. The stock market

974
01:04:29,520 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: has been going gangbusters. Could you imagine if all of

975
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 1: a sudden, all of the tariffs were gone, stock market

976
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: would be at seventy thousand For goodness sakes, But when

977
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: you focus on bread and butter economic issues, when you

978
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: make the choice between common sense and communism, Republicans can win,

979
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: but they have an uphill battle, and that battle will

980
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 1: be fought in places like Bucks County. I'm going to

981
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,480
Speaker 1: get into why that should be so such a wake

982
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 1: up call next. Why Bucks County, Pennsylvania wasn't just a

983
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:11,919
Speaker 1: pivotal county for President Trump to win in twenty twenty four,

984
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: Why it actually portends big problems for Republicans in twenty

985
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 1: twenty six. Welcome back to the Dan O'Donnells Show. It

986
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: is conservative thought, not just talk. I believe President Trump

987
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: has the line of the cycle with respect to how

988
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 1: Republicans can win in twenty twenty six, but they need

989
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 1: to get back to bread and butter economic issues. And

990
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: it is this you have a choice between communism and

991
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: common sex.

992
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 8: If the last night results, the decision facing all Americans

993
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:50,360
Speaker 8: could not be more clear. We have a choice between

994
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 8: communism and common sense.

995
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: Bucks County, Pennsylvania is the place where this sort of

996
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: messaging would be direly needed. It is a bell weather

997
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: area in suburban Pennsylvania, and it experienced a huge political

998
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:13,919
Speaker 1: reversal between the federal elections not just of President Trump,

999
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 1: but also of Senator Dave McCormick and Republicans in the Congress,

1000
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: and also the state legislature and the twenty twenty five

1001
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: municipal elections last night. County leaned Republican in twenty twenty four,

1002
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 1: delivering a narrow win for Trump, the first GOP presidential

1003
01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:41,120
Speaker 1: victory there since nineteen eighty eight. However, last night, pretty

1004
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: much every Democrat one, led by Joe Kahn as the

1005
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: District Attorney of the county, a nine percent victory over

1006
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: the Republican. He is the first Democrat DA there since

1007
01:06:55,400 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: the Civil War. Sheriff Democrat won by a LA Recorder

1008
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 1: of Deeds controller. Both flips from GOP. The Court of

1009
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: Common pleas four seats up for grabs, it was a

1010
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: four to zero Democrat sweep. School board races the exact

1011
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: same thing. Now, you could say, all right, well, Dan, Dan,

1012
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: these are local races, these are municipal races, these are

1013
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: county races. They don't really have an impact on federal elections.

1014
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 1: And while generally speaking that's true, when you put that

1015
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: amid what happened when you had stronger than expected turnout

1016
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 1: for Democrats in already blue states like Virginia and New Jersey,

1017
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: and you had far left candidates pretty much sweeping everywhere

1018
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 1: in mayoral elections, admittedly mostly in blue cities. Bucks County

1019
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 1: stands out because that was the sort of county that

1020
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: President Trump was able to fly. That was the sort

1021
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 1: of county that triggered his political comeback. Remember, he only

1022
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: won Pennsylvania by about one point two percent statewide, Counties

1023
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: like Bucks flipped for him, and counties all over the

1024
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:20,680
Speaker 1: country flipped for Trump. Do you know how many counties

1025
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four got bluer than they were in

1026
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty? Do you know how many counties flipped from

1027
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 1: red to blue from twenty twenty to twenty twenty four

1028
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: out of all the counties in the United States, it

1029
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 1: was zero, not a single one. Bucks County flipped right

1030
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: back to Democrats. This is why Republicans can't simply discount

1031
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:53,600
Speaker 1: last night's election results as Democrats winning in Democrats states.

1032
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:57,679
Speaker 1: I believe a lot of people are making too much

1033
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:00,760
Speaker 1: out of what happened in New Jersey and Virginia. And

1034
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: I think there was some false hope, especially with Chittarelli,

1035
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,759
Speaker 1: that he was actually going to win in New Jersey.

1036
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 1: You better believe Republicans are going to try to turn

1037
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 1: New Jersey into a swing state, especially now with the

1038
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 1: influx of so many right leaning people expected to come

1039
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: fleeing heading for the hills after the election of Mom

1040
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 1: Donnie in New York City. Those who don't go to

1041
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 1: Texas or Florida, Florida especially, but Bucks County, Pennsylvania is

1042
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 1: exactly the place where you would have liked to have

1043
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: seen other Republican, other conservative candidates pick up the torch

1044
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 1: from Trump and run to election victory. They didn't. None

1045
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: of them did, and that highlights a big problem for Republicans,

1046
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:49,800
Speaker 1: and it has been a big problem in the era

1047
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 1: of Trump. When Trump is not on the ballot, we

1048
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 1: do not get anywhere near the same level of voter engagement,

1049
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 1: we do not get anywhere near the same level of

1050
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 1: interest among voters. And there is a very real problem

1051
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,919
Speaker 1: of the only Trump voter that we have been facing

1052
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:12,800
Speaker 1: pretty much since Trump came down that escalator. We'll elaborate

1053
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: on that point, and we will also name the unsung

1054
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: hero of the day coming up next here on the

1055
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: Dan o'donald show. Bucks County, Pennsylvania is precisely the place

1056
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 1: that Republicans need to overperform if they want to avoid

1057
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:31,759
Speaker 1: what happened in twenty eighteen, which was a blue wave.

1058
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: Last night's results don't portend anything more than if Republicans

1059
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: get away from it. This is not folks, This is

1060
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 1: not automatic doom. Okay. People always read way too much.

1061
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: Do you remember in twenty twenty one? People always read

1062
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 1: way too much into the first elections after a president

1063
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,960
Speaker 1: is sworn in after a president election, because it's invariably

1064
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:08,520
Speaker 1: a reaction from the party that loses the last presidential election. Invariably,

1065
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 1: do you remember what happened in twenty twenty one in

1066
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 1: Virginia Joe Biden gets elected president, disastrous pull out of Afghanistan,

1067
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 1: Republicans win everything there is to win. Jason Miarez, I believe, no, no,

1068
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 1: it was a different guy. Obviously. Glenn Youngkin won the

1069
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:33,679
Speaker 1: gubernatorial race. Win some sears won the LG's race. The

1070
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 1: Attorney general's race also goes Republican. Everything went Republican. How

1071
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: likely is that to happen again? Virginia is a blue state.

1072
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 1: It's purple ish, but not really in presidential elections. When

1073
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: you've got that super high turnout, it does have the

1074
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 1: potential to swing, but not like twenty twenty five years ago.

1075
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 1: There are so many federal workers, and yes, there are

1076
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 1: so many immigrants who have now become citizens and are

1077
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:10,640
Speaker 1: far more likely than native born Americans to vote Democrat.

1078
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: That Virginia is just a change place. It's the Washington

1079
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: DC suburbs versus pretty much the rest of the state.

1080
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,439
Speaker 1: Same deal with New Jersey. It's always been a blue state.

1081
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 1: You can't take away too much. In twenty twenty one,

1082
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 1: you very nearly had a Republican upset in the gubernatorial race.

1083
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: How does that happen? It's a reaction to Biden. This

1084
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:38,080
Speaker 1: was a reaction to Trump. It would follow long term

1085
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: political history if Democrats did very very well and won

1086
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives back from the Republicans in twenty

1087
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 1: twenty six. Because that's exactly what happened in twenty twenty two.

1088
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:55,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't as big a red wave as I think

1089
01:12:56,080 --> 01:13:00,040
Speaker 1: anybody wanted. We did not claim here in Wisconsin the

1090
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 1: governor's race. In fact, Tony Evers became the very first

1091
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: Democrat or very first. Yeah, he was the very first

1092
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:12,400
Speaker 1: Democrat to win a gubernatorial election while his party controlled

1093
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: the White House here in Wisconsin. He was only the

1094
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 1: second governor to ever do that, first being Tommy Thompson,

1095
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 1: who did it a couple of times. There's something to

1096
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:29,920
Speaker 1: this cyclical nature of American politics. However, if we want

1097
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: to ward off what would be a blue tsunami, and

1098
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:36,280
Speaker 1: I certainly think one is coming, I'm not going to

1099
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 1: whistle past the graveyard, folks. If we want to avoid one,

1100
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: it is to focus on America first. America, first, America always.

1101
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 1: Americans need to be the priority, not foreign entanglements, not

1102
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 1: anything else, making life better for everyday Americans. Do you

1103
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: want to know why so many people are open to

1104
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:04,440
Speaker 1: the in saying socialism because they're open to the idea

1105
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 1: that life is not nearly as good as it should

1106
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 1: be for them. This is the envy part of the

1107
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 1: dark Triumvirate, the dark triad, if you will, of Democrat argumentation.

1108
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 1: The the the whole appeal of the neo socialist Democrat

1109
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 1: Party is threefold. Virtue signaling. And this is people who

1110
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 1: like your you know, kid's kindergarten teacher. They're good people.

1111
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: They want to be seen as good people. It's it's

1112
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 1: virtue signaling slash naivete It is racial, ethnic, gender, and

1113
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:50,920
Speaker 1: sexuality based demagoguery. If you are a minority, you must

1114
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 1: vote for Democrats. And the third one is envy. The

1115
01:14:55,120 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: third one is the politics of envy. This idea that

1116
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 1: but for somebody else, you would be better off. But

1117
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump, but for the billionaires like Elon Musk,

1118
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 1: you would have as big a house as your neighbor does.

1119
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: You would have the job that your boss does. It's ridiculous,

1120
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:24,760
Speaker 1: it's insane, but it is a very powerful argumentative strategy.

1121
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:28,640
Speaker 1: It is to play on people's insecurities and to say,

1122
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 1: if you elect us, we will make sure your life

1123
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 1: is better. You don't even have to do anything. We

1124
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:38,559
Speaker 1: will just take from the people that you dislike and

1125
01:15:38,640 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 1: we will give it to you and people like you.

1126
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: That that is at the heart of what Marxist socialism

1127
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: is taking from the rich to give to the poor,

1128
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:53,719
Speaker 1: not like Robin Hood, who did so from the bottom

1129
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 1: of his heart, but to gain political power. It's sort

1130
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,840
Speaker 1: of like what the era of Nottingham was doing. It

1131
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 1: was predatory taxation, it was keeping himself in power, and

1132
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 1: King John, our Prince John. I'm not sure how much

1133
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 1: of this is from the actual Robinhood story. I haven't

1134
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 1: read those books in decades. I'm going from the Disney

1135
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: cartoon which I just watched a couple of years ago

1136
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:23,520
Speaker 1: with my son. While was a King Richard the Lionheart

1137
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 1: was off fighting the Crusades, it was his brother, Prince John,

1138
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 1: who was using taxation to keep himself enriched and to

1139
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:35,360
Speaker 1: keep himself politically powerful. All right, we will get you

1140
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:38,000
Speaker 1: the hero of the day, I hope coming up later.

1141
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 1: Energy policy expert Daniel Turner joins us as we try

1142
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 1: to digest last night's election results. There is a way

1143
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 1: forward for Republicans after the big losses in last night's elections,

1144
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: which were primarily in blue states. But you don't want

1145
01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: to minimize them. You also don't want to overreact. That's

1146
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 1: why I said at the very beginning of this the

1147
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell Show a couple of hours ago, that it

1148
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 1: is possible to simultaneously overreact and underreact to last night's loss.

1149
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:17,559
Speaker 1: I believe Democrats are overreacting. They do not understand just

1150
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 1: what a political weapon Zoron Mamdani's election in New York

1151
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,640
Speaker 1: is going to be against them. President Trump already said it.

1152
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:28,440
Speaker 1: Next year, the choice is going to be between communism

1153
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: and common sense. But as I spent much of the

1154
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:36,240
Speaker 1: last hour outlining, common sense has to be reflected in

1155
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 1: what Republicans are doing at the federal and state levels

1156
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:44,480
Speaker 1: over the next month, and how they are packaging that messaging.

1157
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,680
Speaker 1: It needs to be America first. It needs to be

1158
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 1: America always. To what extent does energy power the independence

1159
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 1: of this country, power the ascent of the middle class,

1160
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: and actually bring down costs? Well, it turns out a

1161
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 1: whole lot. Coming up in just a second, we are

1162
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 1: going to talk to a nationally renowned energy expert. You

1163
01:18:09,240 --> 01:18:12,439
Speaker 1: see him on Fox News and Fox Business all the time.

1164
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 1: But first, we want to power your Christmas shopping season

1165
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 1: with a thousand bucks in your pocket. It's the Fall

1166
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: Fortune Cash Contest and the word this hour is credit

1169
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 1: the con contest for this hour. I almost say concert.

1170
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure where that came from. It's been

1171
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:39,759
Speaker 1: a long day, folks, and I've got a long flight

1172
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. Forgive me. We now welcome the founder and

1173
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:51,599
Speaker 1: the executive director of the energy group Power the Future.

1174
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 1: He is Daniel Turner, and Daniel welcome to the Dan

1175
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 1: o'donald Show. Really appreciate you coming on today.

1176
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 4: Oh it's great to be almost thanks for having me.

1177
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:05,240
Speaker 1: So you're in rural Virginia. How are people around you

1178
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 1: taking what happened in the elections there?

1179
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know there was. There was enthusiasm, hope, but

1180
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 4: not a ton of surprise because Virginia, sadly enough, is

1181
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:24,480
Speaker 4: a blue state. The biggest driver of our states politics

1182
01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 4: are these little tiny counties that are DC suburbs, and

1183
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,600
Speaker 4: that's where the DC working class that is afraid to

1184
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:33,920
Speaker 4: live in the city, that doesn't want to send their

1185
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 4: kids to its failing schools, they moved to Virginia. They

1186
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 4: call themselves Virginians. It's safer, it's cleaner, it's cheaper, but

1187
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 4: they still vote like Washingtonians. And the shutdown over the

1188
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:49,600
Speaker 4: last month was by far the biggest driver because the

1189
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 4: Democrat who won, Abigail Spanberger, made them out to be victims.

1190
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 4: As governor, I will fight for you. What is she

1191
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:57,720
Speaker 4: going to reopen the government? Is she going to give

1192
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 4: them their contracts back? No, of course not. She sounded

1193
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:04,920
Speaker 4: like someone who was sympathetic to their plight, and that's

1194
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 4: what liberals want. That's what the left wants, is someone

1195
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 4: who validates their misery and their unhappiness win some series

1196
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 4: was a good candidate, not the greatest candidate, but a

1197
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 4: good candidate. But she didn't play that game.

1198
01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:16,360
Speaker 1: Yep.

1199
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:19,519
Speaker 4: She didn't coddle liberals and tell them they're victims, and

1200
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 4: they didn't want to hear that message.

1201
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 1: What does it say that your state elected Jay Jones

1202
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 1: as attorney general even after the revelation that he apparently

1203
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:31,800
Speaker 1: wants every Republican and their children dead.

1204
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. That's probably the most disheartening thing is the number

1205
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:39,800
Speaker 4: of people who said it should have been disqualifying, but

1206
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 4: they voted for the guy anyway. And I remember these

1207
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:47,440
Speaker 4: are the people who have those those annoying placards outside

1208
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 4: their house. You know, home hate has no home here

1209
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 4: or in this house, we believe, or they're the ones

1210
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 4: who will tell you how how good they are and

1211
01:20:56,439 --> 01:20:59,639
Speaker 4: how noble they are, and they will see right past

1212
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 4: it without a doubt, you know. And I gotta tell you, Dan,

1213
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:05,600
Speaker 4: I'm a little even torn on this one because I

1214
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 4: did put on my Twitter account early this morning. I said,

1215
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:10,679
Speaker 4: you know, I got to hand it to our two

1216
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 4: Democrat Senators Tim Kine and Mark Warner, institutional Democrats. They

1217
01:21:16,240 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 4: were confronted with Jay Jones's evil, vicious text messages, and

1218
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 4: they stood by the guy. They were like, yeah, I

1219
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 4: don't care. I want to win. I'm not going to

1220
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 4: repudiate him. I'm not calling him to drop out. They

1221
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,960
Speaker 4: stood by the guy. Now, that's disgusting, but you counter

1222
01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 4: that where they make up stuff about Donald Trump and

1223
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:39,799
Speaker 4: run to Republicans and Republicans flee as quickly as possible

1224
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:42,559
Speaker 4: and say how dare he is? So, you know what,

1225
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:46,000
Speaker 4: I'll give the Democrats credit. Even in the face of murder,

1226
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:47,599
Speaker 4: they stand by their guy.

1227
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Turner is the founder and executive director of Power

1228
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 1: the future, and you have been a big proponent of

1229
01:21:57,320 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: what President Trump did in his first term and again

1230
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 1: in his second term, basically undoing all of what President

1231
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:09,759
Speaker 1: Biden did that immediately spiked gas prices to their highest

1232
01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 1: level ever first time in American history. In the summer

1233
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two, there was an average of five

1234
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: dollars gasoline in all fifty states. I never thought I

1235
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 1: would see that President Biden actually tapped into the Strategic

1236
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: Petroleum Reserve to try to get gas prices down ahead

1237
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty two midterms, but we have actually

1238
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:34,440
Speaker 1: seen gas prices hit near twenty year lows when adjusted

1239
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: for inflation. What is it that President Trump has done

1240
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 1: in this second term. Is it just a continuation of

1241
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 1: opening up American drilling, American exploration. What has been the

1242
01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:55,880
Speaker 1: reason for gas prices dropping and what feels like energy

1243
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,280
Speaker 1: prices starting to come down for the first time in

1244
01:22:58,439 --> 01:22:59,440
Speaker 1: four years.

1245
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 4: It really is market stability. And if you are in

1246
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 4: this space, you know that the oil and gas that

1247
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:09,759
Speaker 4: is on the market today, the gas you are pumping

1248
01:23:09,760 --> 01:23:12,200
Speaker 4: in your car, if you're driving home from work again

1249
01:23:12,240 --> 01:23:15,439
Speaker 4: and you're stopping for gas and listening to us, that gas.

1250
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 4: It was from a well that was drilled six to

1251
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 4: seven years ago. That's how long the process takes. And

1252
01:23:23,160 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 4: so if you are in this industry and you want

1253
01:23:25,160 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 4: to drill, and you need to get land access, and

1254
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 4: you need to get permits, and you need to get

1255
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:32,679
Speaker 4: all the government regulations out of the way, it's years

1256
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 4: in the making. And when you had the Biden administration,

1257
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 4: sometimes they gave permits, most time they didn't. They didn't

1258
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:41,360
Speaker 4: give reasons why they didn't give permits. They're supposed to

1259
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 4: be an auction every quarter. There was no auction on

1260
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 4: land and when asked, the Interior Secretary said she used

1261
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 4: indigenous knowledge. No one knows what the hell indigenous knowledge means,

1262
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:54,639
Speaker 4: but that was good enough for them to say, there's

1263
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:57,480
Speaker 4: no auction this money. And so all of that instability,

1264
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:03,200
Speaker 4: it really depressed supply and it created a lot of

1265
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 4: future on ease and that resultant in the prices that

1266
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 4: we saw. Look at where we are now. The markets

1267
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 4: know we are producing record number of oil every day,

1268
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 4: but that's also because the markets know that everything is

1269
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 4: lined up for tomorrow, and that stability brings calm to

1270
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 4: the market, and it brings lower prices.

1271
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:26,080
Speaker 1: And it also brings a level of prosperity that we

1272
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 1: were starting to see in the first Trump term. I

1273
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 1: mean the start of twenty twenty we had just an

1274
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 1: unbelievable boom forming. Of course, COVID nineteen and the overreaction

1275
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:41,040
Speaker 1: and shut down of pretty much everything sort of brought

1276
01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:43,479
Speaker 1: that to an end. But I think now we're starting

1277
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 1: to see the exact same thing. And this sort of

1278
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 1: proves that the more energy independent you are, the more

1279
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 1: of a net energy exporter that you are, the better

1280
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 1: you are as a country. Right, Yes, and.

1281
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:01,519
Speaker 4: I'm so glad you mentioned it was summer of twenty

1282
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 4: twenty two when gas hit over five dollars a gallon.

1283
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 4: And the reason why that's an important date is because

1284
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 4: it shows it took a year and a half for

1285
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 4: Biden's policies to be felt, but when they were felt,

1286
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 4: they were not easy to reverse. So people right now

1287
01:25:16,120 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 4: are looking at other prices. Yes, gas is down, no doubt,

1288
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,879
Speaker 4: but people are like flood prices are still high. Yeah,

1289
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:24,200
Speaker 4: and it's going to take a little while for those

1290
01:25:24,240 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 4: prices to be felt. You know, the beef that you're eating,

1291
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 4: if you're having a Hamburger tonight, normally the steers that

1292
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:34,200
Speaker 4: we process in America are between thirty five and forty months,

1293
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:37,599
Speaker 4: so they were fattened on grain that was harvested at

1294
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:40,839
Speaker 4: seven to fifty dollars a gallon diesel. That's the prices

1295
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:42,760
Speaker 4: that you feel when you go buy beef right now.

1296
01:25:42,960 --> 01:25:45,920
Speaker 4: Beef price is going to drop absolutely because diesel right

1297
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 4: now is around four ninety a gallon. But those are

1298
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 4: next year's steers and that next year's crops that haven't

1299
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 4: have to be sewed. So it took Biden a while

1300
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,599
Speaker 4: for his policies to be felt. It's going to take

1301
01:25:57,600 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 4: a little while for Trump's policies to be felt too.

1302
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: It almost seems like what you're telling me, though, is

1303
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 1: that we're going to see some dramatic price reductions just

1304
01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 1: in time for the mid terms.

1305
01:26:09,680 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 4: That's yes, I think so, and that will be great

1306
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:15,840
Speaker 4: news for the country and for families and consumers. But

1307
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 4: it's also very good news for Republicans because you know

1308
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,879
Speaker 4: where we just finish up the harvest. Right, it's November

1309
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:25,639
Speaker 4: in America, but you're already planning to get ready for spring.

1310
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 4: If you're a farmer. I'm a sheep farmer, right, so

1311
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:30,880
Speaker 4: I know how much Hey, I had to buy this year.

1312
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:33,600
Speaker 4: I know the prices and the outlay that I have.

1313
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 4: The folks who are getting ready to plant in March,

1314
01:26:37,240 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 4: they know where diesel prices are going to be. They

1315
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:41,760
Speaker 4: know where crop prices are going to be, because the

1316
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 4: seeds that they're going to plant were harvested a couple

1317
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 4: of weeks ago at diesel at four ninety a gallon, right,

1318
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 4: So it will trickle into the market, there's no doubt

1319
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:52,680
Speaker 4: about it. But it takes a little time. And that's

1320
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:55,880
Speaker 4: the fascinating thing about the energy industry. You can turn

1321
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 4: it off pretty darn quick, but to get it going again,

1322
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:02,679
Speaker 4: it's going to take time. And unfortunately, these elections yesterday

1323
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 4: were only a month eleven of the second Trump term.

1324
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 1: Daniel Turner is the founder and executive director of Power

1325
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 1: the Future. I think there is a lot of discussion

1326
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:17,720
Speaker 1: about quite literally powering the future, and that is the

1327
01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 1: strain on the electrical grid. I'm not sure if you're

1328
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 1: aware of what a big controversial issue the construction of

1329
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:30,680
Speaker 1: data centers is here in Wisconsin, Daniel, but it is

1330
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:33,160
Speaker 1: a big one. And you and I were talking a

1331
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:36,400
Speaker 1: little bit off the air before this segment start. You

1332
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:40,639
Speaker 1: have some very strong opinions on data centers. You love

1333
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: the technology, but you believe our electrical grid just isn't

1334
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 1: ready for the strain.

1335
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:49,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we put out a report that if I

1336
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 4: can give my organization a shout out, please, we put

1337
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 4: out a report on data centers and on AI and

1338
01:27:57,200 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 4: what it means for the future electric grid. Clearly want

1339
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:02,240
Speaker 4: to win this race. I don't want China to be

1340
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 4: the AI king of the world. But the infrastructure needs

1341
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:08,719
Speaker 4: that we have are not in place. And that's also

1342
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 4: leads to the twenty and thirty percent increase in electricity

1343
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 4: that we're seeing because we need to produce so much

1344
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:18,840
Speaker 4: more electricity than we are. The Biden administration shut down

1345
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:22,880
Speaker 4: one hundred coal plants nationwide. They replaced it with nothing right,

1346
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 4: They replaced it with promises of a greener tomorrow. Well,

1347
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 4: that didn't materialize. But what did materialize with these data

1348
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:31,559
Speaker 4: centers that are being built left and right. When I

1349
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 4: drive to DC to testify before Congress, so do whatever

1350
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:37,840
Speaker 4: I do, I pass a third of our nation's data

1351
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:41,640
Speaker 4: centers on my drives. Virginians know how expensive these have

1352
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:45,479
Speaker 4: become to our grid, and I liken it to anyone

1353
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 4: who lives in kind of a suburban area or where

1354
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:50,679
Speaker 4: I live in farm country. You know, there's an old

1355
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 4: farm that went on the market. Grandpa died. They sold

1356
01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 4: it to a developer. The developer got permission from the

1357
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 4: county to put up five hundred homes. County loves it.

1358
01:29:00,120 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 4: Revenue for the county. Yeah, But then all of a sudden,

1359
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:05,040
Speaker 4: there are five hundred more cars on these little dirt roads,

1360
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 4: and there are five hundred more families with kids in

1361
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:10,800
Speaker 4: a five classroom schoolhouse. And everyone says, what the hell

1362
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 4: benefit do we have from all these houses. The county

1363
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:16,080
Speaker 4: doesn't care. Yeah, don't care about the traffic they created

1364
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 4: the That's what data centers are doing to our electric grid.

1365
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 4: We're building them faster than the infrastructure is coming online.

1366
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:27,840
Speaker 1: What's the solution? I have heard small scale nuclear reactors

1367
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:31,439
Speaker 1: to power these things. What do you see the future,

1368
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:34,720
Speaker 1: Because it's rather obvious that data centers are going to

1369
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:37,559
Speaker 1: need to be built somewhere. Yes, I know, Elon Musk

1370
01:29:37,600 --> 01:29:39,679
Speaker 1: said they could go on the moon, and that sounds

1371
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:43,000
Speaker 1: like a pretty awesome idea actually, but until we have

1372
01:29:43,160 --> 01:29:46,439
Speaker 1: that capability to do that, we are going to need

1373
01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 1: massive amounts of data and thus massive amounts of power.

1374
01:29:50,479 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 1: And I'm very sympathetic to the argument that if it's

1375
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:57,400
Speaker 1: putting so much strain on the grid, it's going to

1376
01:29:57,439 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 1: be raising electricity prices power for pretty much everybody in

1377
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:06,559
Speaker 1: the area. I don't doubt the necessity of these, but

1378
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:08,520
Speaker 1: how do we power them?

1379
01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:09,200
Speaker 8: Yeah?

1380
01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 4: I think the easiest and the quickest solution is the

1381
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:14,599
Speaker 4: data centers have to be built where the power is.

1382
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:17,640
Speaker 4: And there are parts of this country that produce so

1383
01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 4: much natural gas that they literally flare it because there's

1384
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:23,639
Speaker 4: too much to get into a pipeline. There's too much

1385
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:25,920
Speaker 4: to get Now, that seems like the crime and it is.

1386
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 4: That shows the lack of infrastructure that we have. But

1387
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:33,280
Speaker 4: I'm talking about even not far from Wisconsin, in western Pennsylvania. Yeah,

1388
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:36,919
Speaker 4: obviously about the Permian Basin on the Texas New Mexico border,

1389
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:40,840
Speaker 4: parts of Alaska. Right, data centers need a tremendous amount

1390
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 4: of electricity and they need water. So why do we

1391
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 4: build them where real estate is valuable? Build them where

1392
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:50,840
Speaker 4: there are no populations, where there's no problem. You know,

1393
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:53,599
Speaker 4: the North slope of Alaska, which has probably more natural

1394
01:30:53,640 --> 01:30:56,240
Speaker 4: gas than most of the world. Put all the data

1395
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:58,080
Speaker 4: centers there. They don't care it's and they get a

1396
01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:01,639
Speaker 4: forty degrees. They're still pumping out the information that your

1397
01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:02,559
Speaker 4: computer wants.

1398
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 1: That's actually an excellent idea. I am so glad Daniel

1399
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:10,160
Speaker 1: that we had you on Daniel Turner with Power of

1400
01:31:10,200 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 1: the Future. Please say you will come on again. This

1401
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:17,040
Speaker 1: is absolutely fascinating stuff. And Sir, I dare say that

1402
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:19,760
Speaker 1: the great Data center debate here in Wisconsin is not

1403
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:22,120
Speaker 1: going to be over anytime soon. I'd love to have

1404
01:31:22,240 --> 01:31:23,240
Speaker 1: you back on the program.

1405
01:31:24,120 --> 01:31:27,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely. We haven't even talked about Bill Gates and climate change,

1406
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:28,760
Speaker 4: so that's another one for us.

1407
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:31,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, okay, real quick, real quick, you have

1408
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:35,920
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. Because Bill Gates suddenly reversing course

1409
01:31:36,320 --> 01:31:39,360
Speaker 1: and saying, yeah, climate change isn't going to kill us

1410
01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:42,599
Speaker 1: all that seems like a pretty big deal, Almost as

1411
01:31:42,640 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 1: big a deal as Greta Thunberg just sort of abandoning

1412
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 1: the climate clause for the Palestinians.

1413
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,840
Speaker 4: Yes, it was a huge deal. And I think the

1414
01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:54,880
Speaker 4: reason why I mentioned it is because I think it

1415
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:57,559
Speaker 4: ties back to the data centers. If you are someone

1416
01:31:57,720 --> 01:32:00,479
Speaker 4: like Bill Gates, you know you have all the money

1417
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:03,640
Speaker 4: you need money is no longer even sexier exciting. But

1418
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 4: what is is power. That's why he likes climate change,

1419
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 4: because you tell people what they can eat, how they're

1420
01:32:09,479 --> 01:32:11,880
Speaker 4: allowed to travel, what type of car they should drive,

1421
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:14,960
Speaker 4: should eat the bugs, right, he's making these burgers that

1422
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:19,280
Speaker 4: are made from carbon dioxide. That's power, and he loves it.

1423
01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:22,479
Speaker 4: AI is the ultimate powder. That power is the power

1424
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:25,840
Speaker 4: to reform the human genome. It is the power to

1425
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:30,559
Speaker 4: literally feed information to every person in the planet in

1426
01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:33,519
Speaker 4: real time. If he wants you to think a certain thing,

1427
01:32:33,960 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 4: that is power. The only thing stopping Bill Gates from

1428
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 4: having the ultimate AI power is the building of these

1429
01:32:40,479 --> 01:32:43,880
Speaker 4: data centers, and the slowness of these data centers is

1430
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:47,479
Speaker 4: the very climate movement that is stopping us from opening

1431
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:51,720
Speaker 4: up coal building, nuclear natural gas pipelines. So that is

1432
01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:55,040
Speaker 4: why I think Bill Gates reversed quotes. He doesn't care

1433
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:57,120
Speaker 4: about the climate. He wants the data.

1434
01:32:57,160 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 1: I think you are absolutely correct, sir, but again we

1435
01:33:00,560 --> 01:33:04,599
Speaker 1: do want you back. Daniel Turner power the future. It

1436
01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 1: was an absolute blaster. Thank you so much. Have yourself

1437
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:10,000
Speaker 1: a wonderful evening anytime.

1438
01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:10,720
Speaker 4: Thank you so much.

1439
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 1: All right, take care. It is the Dan o'donald show

1440
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:19,599
Speaker 1: coming back in just a couple of minutes. Welcome back

1441
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:22,880
Speaker 1: to the Dan o'donald Show. Our thanks again to Daniel Turner,

1442
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:27,760
Speaker 1: guest provided to us by the Trump White House Communications team.

1443
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:31,759
Speaker 1: Always appreciate working with them. He was fantastic. I honestly

1444
01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:33,439
Speaker 1: was like, oh, we didn't even get to talk about this.

1445
01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, brother, we can talk as long as you want.

1446
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 1: You are insanely entertaining. We will definitely have him back

1447
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 1: as the debate over data centers heats up. Powerthefuture dot

1448
01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:49,759
Speaker 1: Com is the website where you can find his organization's report.

1449
01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:52,520
Speaker 1: I was sort of talking over him, and I apologize

1450
01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:56,040
Speaker 1: for that. Powerthefuture dot Com they did a big in

1451
01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:58,720
Speaker 1: depth Look, this is a huge debate. There was just

1452
01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:04,480
Speaker 1: a Microsoft center in was its southern Milwaukee, northern Racine

1453
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:09,160
Speaker 1: County in Caledonia that was just yeah, it was Caledonia

1454
01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:13,000
Speaker 1: that was just turned away. The Microsoft just said, Okay,

1455
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:15,720
Speaker 1: We're not going to do this. There is a tremendous

1456
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 1: amount of public backlash. I understand how valuable these things

1457
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:25,559
Speaker 1: are to an economy, to a tax base. I am

1458
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:29,840
Speaker 1: also extremely sympathetic to the fact that a there are

1459
01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:34,200
Speaker 1: sort of eye sores. B they use a tremendous amount

1460
01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: of power, and C we don't really have the resource

1461
01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:41,400
Speaker 1: and people are focusing, I think on the wrong thing,

1462
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:45,400
Speaker 1: and that's water usage, it's electricity usage. You're not going

1463
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:48,519
Speaker 1: to drain Lake Michigan. It was a dumb argument when

1464
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:51,639
Speaker 1: the Libs were making it with respect to the Fox

1465
01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:55,160
Speaker 1: con development that never really came thank you very much,

1466
01:34:55,200 --> 01:35:00,240
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and Tony Evers. But it's a so a

1467
01:35:00,320 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 1: dumb argument when conservatives are saying, well, they're going to

1468
01:35:02,560 --> 01:35:04,920
Speaker 1: drain Lake Michigan with these data centers, and we don't

1469
01:35:04,920 --> 01:35:07,280
Speaker 1: want to know they're not. But what they are going

1470
01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 1: to do is put a tremendous strain on the electrical grid.

1471
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:15,880
Speaker 1: This is why it was such a big deal when

1472
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:19,040
Speaker 1: you had right of first refusal being proposed in the

1473
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:23,599
Speaker 1: last two legislative sessions, because the idea was that we

1474
01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 1: would give cartel like authority to the existing transmission companies

1475
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:32,720
Speaker 1: to build out the electrical grid. This is a tremendous

1476
01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:35,960
Speaker 1: amount of power, it's a tremendous amount of money, and

1477
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:39,719
Speaker 1: it also is going to cost a ton of money

1478
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:42,960
Speaker 1: for government to do this. Well, why don't we allow

1479
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:46,759
Speaker 1: out of state companies to come in compete on price,

1480
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:51,920
Speaker 1: compete on service, compete, just compete like well, why are

1481
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:57,080
Speaker 1: we giving the existing three electrical transmission companies cartel like power.

1482
01:35:57,360 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 1: They understand that if we want Wisconsin to be one

1483
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:05,000
Speaker 1: of the data center capitals of the United States. I

1484
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:07,800
Speaker 1: think Turner makes a great point. Why don't we put

1485
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:11,800
Speaker 1: these things where natural gas is literally being allowed to

1486
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:15,479
Speaker 1: just get into the vapor because there's so much of it.

1487
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:20,120
Speaker 1: Why are we putting these in residential locations, or at

1488
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 1: least exurb in rural location, places where people live. Why

1489
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:27,080
Speaker 1: don't we put them in areas where nobody lives. Well,

1490
01:36:27,080 --> 01:36:28,960
Speaker 1: one of the reasons you can't put he had said, Well,

1491
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:31,680
Speaker 1: we could just put them in the desert. No, you

1492
01:36:31,800 --> 01:36:34,559
Speaker 1: really can't, because these things need to be cool if

1493
01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 1: they overheat. Otherwise you're spending so much power on trying

1494
01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:42,320
Speaker 1: to keep them cool. They need to be cool because obviously,

1495
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 1: think about your own personal computer, you can't let it overheat. Well,

1496
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:50,800
Speaker 1: it's the same basic thing with these data centers. It

1497
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 1: is a very important debate that we as humans are

1498
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:57,360
Speaker 1: going to have. We need to, as Turner said, win

1499
01:36:57,479 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 1: the AI race with China and the rest of the world.

1500
01:37:00,080 --> 01:37:03,280
Speaker 1: President Trump has made that a commitment. It's sort of

1501
01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 1: like the new space race, and I think ultimately it

1502
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,439
Speaker 1: is going to have more practical applications, far more practical

1503
01:37:10,479 --> 01:37:14,639
Speaker 1: applications here on Earth than space exploration and the race

1504
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:17,559
Speaker 1: to the Moon. And this is not to diminish what

1505
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:20,599
Speaker 1: we have learned. I believe we are advanced. We are

1506
01:37:20,760 --> 01:37:25,280
Speaker 1: enriched as a species by being interplanetary, by being it

1507
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:29,000
Speaker 1: is what makes us human. Our desire to learn more

1508
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:33,480
Speaker 1: about the universe around us, our desire to explore previously

1509
01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:37,720
Speaker 1: unknown areas of our world and even new worlds. I'm

1510
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:41,640
Speaker 1: a big, big supporter in trying to get to Mars,

1511
01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:50,320
Speaker 1: in trying to develop as much as we can extraplanetary advancement. However,

1512
01:37:50,880 --> 01:37:54,960
Speaker 1: artificial intelligence is going to be the thing that very

1513
01:37:55,240 --> 01:38:00,280
Speaker 1: likely advances our species or potentially ends it. One of

1514
01:38:00,280 --> 01:38:03,920
Speaker 1: the two advancement I think is far more likely. No,

1515
01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:06,120
Speaker 1: I am not one of those who believes in the

1516
01:38:06,240 --> 01:38:13,519
Speaker 1: matrix endgame or the Terminator style scenario where AI becomes

1517
01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:17,360
Speaker 1: sentient and hunts humans down for sport or plugs them

1518
01:38:17,479 --> 01:38:20,600
Speaker 1: in so to use their life force like batteries in

1519
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:26,679
Speaker 1: the matrix. I believe that AI is already revolutionizing industries.

1520
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,479
Speaker 1: I was actually talking with my father today about how

1521
01:38:29,600 --> 01:38:33,120
Speaker 1: I use AI for research. I have to double check

1522
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 1: it constantly, but I am able to research things much

1523
01:38:37,240 --> 01:38:40,880
Speaker 1: much quicker than I ever was before. I'm able to

1524
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:43,240
Speaker 1: get data at my fingertips. How do you think I

1525
01:38:43,320 --> 01:38:49,880
Speaker 1: knew instantly about Bucks County, Pennsylvania's election results. Obviously I

1526
01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:52,200
Speaker 1: had to double check to make sure that what grock

1527
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:56,240
Speaker 1: X's AI Elon Musk's AI was telling me was correct,

1528
01:38:56,760 --> 01:39:00,000
Speaker 1: but I was able to use that instantly. As much

1529
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:03,960
Speaker 1: more and more people use AI, as it becomes more

1530
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:07,639
Speaker 1: of a ubiquitous part of life, it needs to be

1531
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:13,760
Speaker 1: powered by tremendous amounts of data and tremendous amounts of electricity.

1532
01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:18,240
Speaker 1: We are going to need, I think, a massive buildout

1533
01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:22,320
Speaker 1: of our electrical grid. Whether natural gas is the answer,

1534
01:39:22,479 --> 01:39:26,719
Speaker 1: I happen to think small scale nuclear is probably going

1535
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:29,559
Speaker 1: to be the winner in this game. It is the

1536
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 1: cleanest burning, it is the most efficient, and if we

1537
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 1: can get over our Chernobyl three mile Island irrational fear

1538
01:39:38,600 --> 01:39:43,599
Speaker 1: of nuclear power, which is tremendously safe, I think it's

1539
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:46,200
Speaker 1: going to be the thing that powers data centers, and

1540
01:39:46,240 --> 01:39:48,719
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be the thing that powers

1541
01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:53,960
Speaker 1: our future as we have an exponential demand for power

1542
01:39:54,600 --> 01:40:00,920
Speaker 1: for everything in our lives. Okay, Republicans weren't intent to

1543
01:40:01,080 --> 01:40:06,360
Speaker 1: simply let Jill Underley, the state superintendent, cover her you

1544
01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:10,519
Speaker 1: know what in her testimony yesterday and her press conference

1545
01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 1: announcing new initiatives which she said just weeks ago were

1546
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 1: far too expensive for her to implement. They are launching

1547
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:24,160
Speaker 1: an audit into dpi's handling of teacher sex abuse complaints.

1548
01:40:24,160 --> 01:40:27,160
Speaker 1: We will dive into that when the Dan O'Donnell show returns.

1549
01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:34,640
Speaker 1: Bipartisan group of lawmakers has ordered an audit over DPI

1550
01:40:34,920 --> 01:40:41,880
Speaker 1: teacher licensing amid a massive scandal involving teacher misconduct that

1551
01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:45,920
Speaker 1: absolutely was covered up by the Department of Public Instruction.

1552
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:50,200
Speaker 1: The Bipartisan Audit Committee has ordered a review into the

1553
01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:55,599
Speaker 1: process that DPI has for removing suspending or restricting educator

1554
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:59,360
Speaker 1: licenses from the journal sentel. The audit comes as State

1555
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:03,280
Speaker 1: Superintendent Jill Underley has received criticism for her department's handling

1556
01:41:03,320 --> 01:41:08,679
Speaker 1: of grooming and sexual misconduct allegations against licensed school staff.

1557
01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:14,960
Speaker 1: Legislative Audit Bureau will examine dpi's oversight of educator misconduct cases,

1558
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:18,680
Speaker 1: including the quality of its investigations, the steps for revoking

1559
01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:23,920
Speaker 1: or suspending licenses, and whether the agency's policies follow state law.

1560
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:29,200
Speaker 1: The audit will also review DPI staffing resources and investigate

1561
01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:33,240
Speaker 1: her training. The ten member Audit Committee unanimously approved the

1562
01:41:33,280 --> 01:41:38,479
Speaker 1: audit today, signaling concern from both Democrats and Republicans over

1563
01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 1: dpi's handling of educate her misconduct now. Yesterday, before she

1564
01:41:45,120 --> 01:41:51,480
Speaker 1: testified before the Senate Education Committee, DPI head State Superintendent

1565
01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:55,639
Speaker 1: doctor Jill Underley said, well, we're going to enact these

1566
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:59,680
Speaker 1: new steps that we are going to take. We are

1567
01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:03,000
Speaker 1: making big changes. One of them was putting up a

1568
01:42:03,120 --> 01:42:07,160
Speaker 1: database of teachers who voluntarily surrendered their license.

1569
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:12,519
Speaker 6: They are expanding transparency. The DPI already maintains a searchable

1570
01:42:12,520 --> 01:42:16,600
Speaker 6: public database showing license status of every educator in Wishassen,

1571
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:21,439
Speaker 6: and the unstigator materials are already public record, and we're

1572
01:42:21,479 --> 01:42:24,640
Speaker 6: taking this further by launching a new online resource that

1573
01:42:24,800 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 6: lists all the revoked and surrendered licenses available to any

1574
01:42:28,320 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 6: member of the public. To be clear, that information is

1575
01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:35,679
Speaker 6: already available, but we are putting it into another database

1576
01:42:35,720 --> 01:42:39,240
Speaker 6: of that it's just by itself, and we've heard feedback

1577
01:42:39,240 --> 01:42:41,559
Speaker 6: in this area about ways to make this information clear

1578
01:42:41,560 --> 01:42:44,520
Speaker 6: and more useful, and we're exploring ways to include information

1579
01:42:45,040 --> 01:42:47,400
Speaker 6: about why a license was revoked or stranded.

1580
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:55,880
Speaker 1: Okay, then why was it that spokespeople for a spokesperson

1581
01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:59,600
Speaker 1: for DPI when Jill Underley refused to talk to the

1582
01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:03,360
Speaker 1: capt Times reporter or Cap Times reporter who broke this

1583
01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:06,960
Speaker 1: story for the big bombshell article that first appeared online

1584
01:43:06,960 --> 01:43:10,639
Speaker 1: on October fifteenth. Why were they saying that we didn't

1585
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:13,320
Speaker 1: have the resources, We just don't have the money to

1586
01:43:13,520 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 1: be able to do this. State Center Romain Quinn, a Republican,

1587
01:43:18,520 --> 01:43:21,559
Speaker 1: asked this very pertinent question during the hearing yesterday.

1588
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:23,719
Speaker 9: You're able to do this now with no additional funding?

1589
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:26,320
Speaker 9: Or how much will this cost? So it's like the

1590
01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:29,320
Speaker 9: whole Cap Times article, it just seems like the Department's

1591
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:31,400
Speaker 9: constantly saying, well, we don't have the money, and they

1592
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 9: never gave us the money, and now three hours ago

1593
01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:34,040
Speaker 9: you're saying.

1594
01:43:33,840 --> 01:43:37,240
Speaker 1: We will do this, and so can you do it?

1595
01:43:37,360 --> 01:43:38,040
Speaker 1: Can't you do it?

1596
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 8: Can?

1597
01:43:38,439 --> 01:43:42,360
Speaker 6: We are doing it because we believe in transparency. We

1598
01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:45,160
Speaker 6: want people to know that this is the highest priority

1599
01:43:45,200 --> 01:43:47,640
Speaker 6: for us. But it's adding on to additional work that

1600
01:43:47,680 --> 01:43:50,719
Speaker 6: people already do full time. So this is in addition

1601
01:43:50,840 --> 01:43:52,840
Speaker 6: to work we're already doing. This.

1602
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:56,320
Speaker 1: By the way, was the moment of that hearing where

1603
01:43:56,439 --> 01:44:00,800
Speaker 1: I think a whole lot of senators, both Democrats and Republicans,

1604
01:44:01,479 --> 01:44:04,920
Speaker 1: realized we needed an audit. She was saying, Okay, well

1605
01:44:04,920 --> 01:44:10,400
Speaker 1: we can put this stuff online, but before she was saying, well,

1606
01:44:10,439 --> 01:44:13,760
Speaker 1: it's just going to cost too much. And Republicans in

1607
01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:16,080
Speaker 1: the legislature, they're just not giving us enough money. It's

1608
01:44:16,080 --> 01:44:19,080
Speaker 1: going to cost millions of dollars to do. No, it's

1609
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:24,720
Speaker 1: not I said October sixteenth when we first discussed this.

1610
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:27,719
Speaker 1: Money is not an issue. This is not a matter

1611
01:44:28,360 --> 01:44:34,040
Speaker 1: of going through combing through physical records, transcribing them, or

1612
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:38,880
Speaker 1: somehow getting them online. This is very easy work. It

1613
01:44:39,080 --> 01:44:43,519
Speaker 1: wasn't done for reasons known only to God and Jill

1614
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:47,880
Speaker 1: Underley and her DPI. I suspect it is to protect

1615
01:44:48,080 --> 01:44:52,439
Speaker 1: teachers because there is a fear. As she said during

1616
01:44:52,479 --> 01:44:57,880
Speaker 1: her testimony, well, sometimes these reports of grooming or sexual miscontext,

1617
01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:00,920
Speaker 1: sometimes those could be wrong, Sometimes they could be false.

1618
01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:03,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes kids could make it up so much for believe

1619
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:08,360
Speaker 1: all women, right, that doesn't extend to believe all seven

1620
01:45:08,400 --> 01:45:11,760
Speaker 1: year old girls who claim they're being inappropriately touched or

1621
01:45:11,800 --> 01:45:18,559
Speaker 1: groomed by their teachers. Every other licensing agency is able

1622
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:22,840
Speaker 1: to do this. Why is DPI not. I suspect it's

1623
01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:28,479
Speaker 1: because they got massive pushback from the Wisconsin Teachers' Union

1624
01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 1: we act, And I suspect it's because simply they agree

1625
01:45:35,080 --> 01:45:38,040
Speaker 1: with we act. Oh yeah, yeah, this stuff shouldn't haunt

1626
01:45:38,200 --> 01:45:42,200
Speaker 1: some teacher for the rest of their life. The big issue, folks,

1627
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:47,640
Speaker 1: is not necessary. I mean it obviously is that we

1628
01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:51,280
Speaker 1: didn't know about just how many teachers were referred to

1629
01:45:51,360 --> 01:45:54,760
Speaker 1: DPI for misconduct in a five year period, and just

1630
01:45:54,840 --> 01:46:00,200
Speaker 1: the staggering number that were referred for sexual misconduct with students.

1631
01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:05,280
Speaker 1: But the biggest issue is that these teachers are able

1632
01:46:05,360 --> 01:46:10,760
Speaker 1: to simply make those investigations go away by voluntarily surrendering

1633
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:17,000
Speaker 1: their teachers' licenses. That is a big, big problem if

1634
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:20,639
Speaker 1: this stuff doesn't rise to the level of criminal behavior.

1635
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:24,400
Speaker 1: I also have very serious questions about just how many

1636
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:27,840
Speaker 1: times the police were involved in these investigations. We have

1637
01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:32,400
Speaker 1: an unfortunate tendency in the education community to try to

1638
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:35,160
Speaker 1: keep things in house to try not to get law

1639
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:38,320
Speaker 1: enforcement involved even when it should be. Oh, by the way,

1640
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:42,000
Speaker 1: did you see the follow up to my exclusive report

1641
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:45,879
Speaker 1: on what happened at Baylane Elementary School from the Milwaukee

1642
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:49,519
Speaker 1: Journal Sentinel Journal Sentinel without ever giving me credit. At

1643
01:46:49,560 --> 01:46:52,559
Speaker 1: least I did not see it on jsonline dot Com

1644
01:46:52,560 --> 01:46:55,800
Speaker 1: had a follow up that Jim Teacher, the guy who

1645
01:46:55,920 --> 01:46:59,080
Speaker 1: is hired from Kelly Education to sub for a gym

1646
01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:03,520
Speaker 1: class Bailene Elementary, has now been charged with fourth offense

1647
01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:07,040
Speaker 1: o w I. The cops brought him in after an

1648
01:47:07,160 --> 01:47:10,960
Speaker 1: art teacher raised concerns about this guy wandering through the

1649
01:47:10,960 --> 01:47:13,559
Speaker 1: halls looking for the gym he was supposed to be

1650
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:18,960
Speaker 1: teaching kids in, and the cops picked him up realized

1651
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:20,960
Speaker 1: that he had driven drunk. I guess he must have

1652
01:47:21,520 --> 01:47:26,280
Speaker 1: admitted that he drove drunk, because if you find a

1653
01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:29,479
Speaker 1: guy drunk and you see his car there, you can't

1654
01:47:29,560 --> 01:47:32,880
Speaker 1: necessarily arrest him for drunk driving if he gives you

1655
01:47:32,920 --> 01:47:37,000
Speaker 1: some kakammy story. Well, yeah, Steve, my buddy dropped me

1656
01:47:37,080 --> 01:47:40,240
Speaker 1: off and walked home because my car is still there.

1657
01:47:40,680 --> 01:47:43,280
Speaker 1: You didn't see him driving unless they had the video

1658
01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:46,920
Speaker 1: or whatever it was. But he gets fourth offense, drunk driving.

1659
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:51,640
Speaker 1: In other words, the administration at Bailein Elementary did the

1660
01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:55,080
Speaker 1: exact right thing. They got the police involved, because this

1661
01:47:55,240 --> 01:47:58,360
Speaker 1: is a matter for law enforcement. All too often, I

1662
01:47:58,479 --> 01:48:03,360
Speaker 1: fear when there are very very serious issues involving educators

1663
01:48:03,520 --> 01:48:06,920
Speaker 1: or members of an administrative staff or something like that,

1664
01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:10,160
Speaker 1: there's this tendency to sort of circle the wagon say okay, well,

1665
01:48:10,160 --> 01:48:12,519
Speaker 1: we'll refer this to DPI, we'll refer this to the

1666
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:15,719
Speaker 1: school board, but we're not going to take the step

1667
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 1: further and get the law involved. And if investigations are disappearing,

1668
01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:23,439
Speaker 1: if there's just no record of it because a teacher

1669
01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:26,519
Speaker 1: can say okay, okay, I'm out, I'm out, stop the

1670
01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:29,360
Speaker 1: investigation into me, how do we ever get to the

1671
01:48:29,520 --> 01:48:35,920
Speaker 1: truth of whether kids were inappropriately touched or groomed, or

1672
01:48:35,960 --> 01:48:40,200
Speaker 1: something horrible happen to these kids. This is a massive scandal,

1673
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:42,120
Speaker 1: and I'm glad to see there is going to be

1674
01:48:42,240 --> 01:48:46,160
Speaker 1: a full audit of what it was DPI was doing.

1675
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Dan o'donald show. It is a

1676
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:53,400
Speaker 1: tour de force of truth. Just to put a bow

1677
01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:57,840
Speaker 1: on our election discussion, the analysis of what happened last

1678
01:48:57,920 --> 01:49:01,759
Speaker 1: night and what it means for twenty twenty six. Where

1679
01:49:01,800 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 1: Republicans go from here. It is absolutely got to be

1680
01:49:06,640 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 1: about embracing President Trump's policies of America. First. That is

1681
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:16,360
Speaker 1: the mega movement, that is the MAHA movement, Make America

1682
01:49:16,479 --> 01:49:22,120
Speaker 1: Healthy Again. That is about a version of populism that

1683
01:49:22,280 --> 01:49:26,559
Speaker 1: the dark side of that exact same coin, one big

1684
01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:30,000
Speaker 1: in New York City and threatens to win big across

1685
01:49:30,040 --> 01:49:35,360
Speaker 1: the country. If conservatives don't recognize and Republicans don't recognize

1686
01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:38,800
Speaker 1: that we cannot be fighting the battles of twenty years ago,

1687
01:49:38,920 --> 01:49:43,080
Speaker 1: the war on Terror and foreign adventurism. That the only

1688
01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:47,599
Speaker 1: battle that people care about in this country is this country.

1689
01:49:47,680 --> 01:49:50,360
Speaker 1: It is the battle for the soul of this country.

1690
01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:54,759
Speaker 1: And it is fought with bread and butter economic issues.

1691
01:49:54,960 --> 01:50:00,240
Speaker 1: It is fought with issues that people care about. Heeping

1692
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:03,360
Speaker 1: men out of women's locker rooms is a big one.

1693
01:50:03,400 --> 01:50:08,320
Speaker 1: Is that going to be a big deal next year? Maybe?

1694
01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:12,799
Speaker 1: But I can tell you if on policy Republicans don't

1695
01:50:12,840 --> 01:50:17,519
Speaker 1: work to get prices down for Americans, Democrats are going

1696
01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:19,920
Speaker 1: to be able to say, look, all of Trump's promises

1697
01:50:20,080 --> 01:50:22,679
Speaker 1: came up short. Never mind the fact that the stock

1698
01:50:22,720 --> 01:50:27,800
Speaker 1: market has just taken off. Real wages have grown, inflation

1699
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:32,080
Speaker 1: has slowed to a halt. We're even seeing deflation in

1700
01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:36,679
Speaker 1: some basic necessity items. We are seeing gas prices at

1701
01:50:36,840 --> 01:50:40,840
Speaker 1: adjusted for inflation, near twenty year lows. I mean, by

1702
01:50:40,920 --> 01:50:46,040
Speaker 1: every objective measure on foreign policy, President Trump has delivered

1703
01:50:46,120 --> 01:50:49,200
Speaker 1: over and over and over again, six major piece deals

1704
01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:53,080
Speaker 1: this term, to add to the Abraham Accords from his

1705
01:50:53,360 --> 01:50:57,000
Speaker 1: first term. I mean, he has been a very consequential president.

1706
01:50:57,360 --> 01:50:59,519
Speaker 1: But he's not going to be on the ballot anymore.

1707
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:05,040
Speaker 1: The reality is is that we have an entire voter

1708
01:51:05,240 --> 01:51:09,800
Speaker 1: base now that is entirely too dependent on Trump being

1709
01:51:09,960 --> 01:51:13,600
Speaker 1: on the ballot. In order to win, we build coalitions

1710
01:51:13,640 --> 01:51:18,080
Speaker 1: sort of cobbled together of non traditional voters, of non

1711
01:51:18,200 --> 01:51:22,799
Speaker 1: regular voters, and a lot of those voters are only Trump.

1712
01:51:23,200 --> 01:51:27,320
Speaker 1: Remember how in twenty sixteen we were fretting about the

1713
01:51:27,439 --> 01:51:31,080
Speaker 1: never Trump voter and we were saying, oh my gosh,

1714
01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:35,879
Speaker 1: we've got to make overtures to the never Trump. Okay,

1715
01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:40,480
Speaker 1: our issue now is the only Trump, the never Trump community.

1716
01:51:40,880 --> 01:51:45,839
Speaker 1: They're Democrats. Bill Crystal is a Democrat. Bill Crystal voted

1717
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:52,080
Speaker 1: for Zorn Mom Donnie. Okay, that does not like sound

1718
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:57,000
Speaker 1: like someone who is conserving conservatism. Here in Wisconsin. Charlie

1719
01:51:57,000 --> 01:52:02,000
Speaker 1: Sykes is a liberal Democrat. Now he is voting for Democrats.

1720
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:05,720
Speaker 1: The never trumpers are gone. They have been gone for

1721
01:52:05,800 --> 01:52:10,160
Speaker 1: quite some time. The issue now that we have are

1722
01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:15,520
Speaker 1: low and mid propensity voters that maybe once were Democrats

1723
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:19,360
Speaker 1: but now need to be persuaded to vote in things

1724
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:23,639
Speaker 1: that are not a presidential election. I do worry that

1725
01:52:23,720 --> 01:52:27,040
Speaker 1: Republicans are going to suffer the same fate that Democrats

1726
01:52:27,080 --> 01:52:31,960
Speaker 1: did during and after the Obama years. Do you realize

1727
01:52:31,960 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 1: that Democrats lost hundreds of seats at the congressional level,

1728
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:41,040
Speaker 1: at the state house level, mayorships, governorships, they lost everywhere,

1729
01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:44,400
Speaker 1: primarily in those off year elections and midterm elections in

1730
01:52:44,439 --> 01:52:48,040
Speaker 1: twenty ten and twenty fourteen. The Obama era was disastrous

1731
01:52:48,080 --> 01:52:51,240
Speaker 1: for Democrats, and I don't want the same thing to

1732
01:52:51,439 --> 01:52:56,080
Speaker 1: happen to Republicans. We always joked about Democrats sort of

1733
01:52:56,120 --> 01:53:02,160
Speaker 1: becoming a cult of personality around Barack Obama. Well, seems

1734
01:53:02,200 --> 01:53:04,839
Speaker 1: like a whole lot of our voters are only turning

1735
01:53:04,840 --> 01:53:09,439
Speaker 1: out for President Trump. You have to convince them that

1736
01:53:09,560 --> 01:53:13,519
Speaker 1: the rest of the Republican Party is working for them.

1737
01:53:14,280 --> 01:53:17,320
Speaker 1: Just like Trump is so far in Wisconsin in a

1738
01:53:17,320 --> 01:53:20,280
Speaker 1: couple of Supreme Court elections over the last couple of years,

1739
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:23,240
Speaker 1: we were not able to do that. We were not

1740
01:53:23,439 --> 01:53:25,320
Speaker 1: able to do that in twenty twenty two with our

1741
01:53:25,360 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 1: gubernatorial candidate, Tim Michaels. I believe Tom Tiffany is a

1742
01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:33,320
Speaker 1: stronger candidate than michaels Is. Yes, Showman still has an

1743
01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:37,599
Speaker 1: outside shot of getting the nomination, but it certainly looks

1744
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:42,160
Speaker 1: like Democrats are preparing for Tom Tiffany. It's back to basics,

1745
01:53:42,240 --> 01:53:46,040
Speaker 1: it is back to economics. It is back to making

1746
01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:50,639
Speaker 1: people's lives better here in Wisconsin and across the country.

1747
01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:53,280
Speaker 1: All right, quick programming note, I am going to be

1748
01:53:53,400 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 1: off tomorrow, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. We are taking our

1749
01:53:58,520 --> 01:54:03,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Dan O'Donnell European Getaway to Rome. We're

1750
01:54:03,040 --> 01:54:05,519
Speaker 1: taking a bunch of listeners. It is going to be

1751
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:08,960
Speaker 1: a wonderful trip. We have got a couple of great

1752
01:54:09,080 --> 01:54:12,439
Speaker 1: fill in hosts for you. Who are they? I know

1753
01:54:12,560 --> 01:54:17,120
Speaker 1: Jessica's filling in once. Jason Goach Is that how you

1754
01:54:17,120 --> 01:54:19,559
Speaker 1: pronounced his last name? Yeah, he's a brand new fill in.

1755
01:54:19,720 --> 01:54:22,960
Speaker 1: Check him out tomorrow afternoon We're also going to have

1756
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:25,880
Speaker 1: Matt Kittle I believe on next week and have no fear.

1757
01:54:26,439 --> 01:54:31,240
Speaker 1: I will be back on Wednesday afternoon, probably super jet lagged,

1758
01:54:31,600 --> 01:54:36,080
Speaker 1: but back on Wednesday afternoon. Have a great evening, Wisconsin.

1759
01:54:36,200 --> 01:54:38,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you again in a week. This has

1760
01:54:38,720 --> 01:54:40,680
Speaker 1: been the Dan o'donald Show.
