Speaker 1: is the top story across local media. Keywoscomb's Jordan Stoltz

37
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: as one as first Olympic gold medal, crushing the Olympic

38

Speaker 1: record in the thousand meters in a time of one

39
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: oh six twenty eight. His win was the biggest margin

40
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: of victory in the Olympic event since nineteen eighty four. Stolts,

41
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: who is just twenty one, is also competing in the

42
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,120

44
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,120

48
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: it means for you in watching the Brewers in twenty

49
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: twenty six, and whether or not there will even be

50
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty seven season because of a potential lockout.

51
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: President Trump meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin nettan Yahoo

52
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,320

53
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: Social that he insisted that negotiations with Iran continue. More

54
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: coming up in the Daily Trump Date at about four

55
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: o'clock then right after that. New employment report out today

56
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: shows non farm payrolls increasing by one hundred thirty thousand jobs,

57
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: blowing past the expected total of fifty five thousand to

58
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: seventy thousand. Now Notably, private jobs increased by one hundred

59
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: and seventy two thousand. Government payrolls dropped sharply by a

60
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: net total of forty two thousand jobs. What exactly does

61
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: that mean we will discuss coming up at about four

62
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: to ten. State Senate Republicans are proposing a massive income

63
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: tax rebate to all Wisconsin taxpayers, spending one point six

64
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: billion dollars of a projected two point four to two

65
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: point five billion million dollars surplus on tax relief. More

66
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: on that coming up at about four twenty five. Then

67
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: coming up at five h six. Political observers across the

68
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: state are all but writing off Republican chances of keeping

69
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: the state Senate this year, but the math doesn't really

70
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: support that. Could Republicans actually be favored to keep their

71
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: slim majority in the Senate? Will dive into the numbers

72
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: right after the five o'clock news. Finally, some sad news

73
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: to report today. Actor James Vanderbeek has died. He was

74
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: best known for playing the title character on the nineties

75
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: teen drama Dawson's Creek. He also starred in a number

76
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: of films such as Varsity Blues. Vanderbeek had been battling

77
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: collarectal cancer. He was just forty eight years old and

78
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: leaves behind a wife and six children. James Vanderbeek, a

79
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: die hard Green Bay Packers fan, believe it or not,

80
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: dead at the age of forty eight. And by the way,

81
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: as somebody who was fifteen years old when Dawson's Creek premiered,

82
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: I was right in that wheelhouse. This one hits close

83
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: to home. And yes, he was extremely young, and in

84
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: his final couple of years after his diagnosis, he was

85
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: a fierce advocate for getting yourself checked for colon cancer.

86
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: Make sure to get those colonoscopies, screenings if necessary. I

87
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: will add my own personal plea because of a family

88
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,559
Speaker 1: connection to prostate cancer. I will say every single year, guys,

89
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: get those PSA tests. Just like the very hilarious tight

90
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: Ends commercial in the Super Bowl, There's no more rubber glove,

91
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: no more fingered no more extreme discomfort, if you know

92
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's just a shot, it's just a

93
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: blood draw. I actually myself have to go for my

94
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: first colonoscopy. I'm turning forty five in July. So kudos

95
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: to mister Vanderbeefer. Di you just seemed like a very

96
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: very good, humble, self effacing guy. He took a role

97
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: in I believe it was Two Guys and a Girl,

98
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: a sitcom where he played an exaggerated version of himself,

99
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: and he was just a funny, funny human being. So

100
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: my deepest condolence is to the vanderbef fat His kids

101
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: are young, to a very very young family. All right,

113
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: and we very much want the next one to be you.

114
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: Absolute insanity at City Hall in Milwaukee today, And when

115
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: I say insanity, I actually mean it. A number of

116
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: far left wing Common Council members, including the Common Council

117
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: President Jose Perez, unveiled a package of legislation they are

118
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: calling ICE out MKE. What exactly is that about? In

119
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: case you couldn't tell, Socialist Council Member Alex Brower made

120
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: it abundantly clear, we.

121
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: Are united that ICE is not welcome here in the

122
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: City of Milwaukee. When that we will not back down,

123
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: and if the administration chooses to conduct a surge in

124
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: ICE operations like they are in other cities, then we

125
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: will protest.

126
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we sort of figured you would protest, Council Member Brauer,

127
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Ice is not welcome. ICE doesn't actually need an invitation,

128
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: And at the press conference at City Hall today that

129
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: was sort of the overarching theme that the council members

130
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: Perez Brower, Jo Costa Zamaripa, Marina Dimitrievik. They had representatives

131
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: from various nonprofit organizations. Of course, Christine Newman Ortiz, the

132
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: executive director of Vossis de la Frontero, was there. This

133
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: is the thing none of them seem to understand. They

134
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: have absolutely no authority to interfere with federal law enforcement operations,

135
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: and in fact, it is very very very unlawful for

136
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: them to do so or to even attempt to. But

137
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: over and above a prospective package of municipal ordinances aimed

138
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: at stopping ice or keeping ice out of MKE. It

139
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: appears as though these congressional or excuse me, these common

140
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: council representatives were openly advocating for a resistance network, the

141
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: organized signal chat led resistance operation that we saw in Minneapolis.

142
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: Just listen to what Brower had to say.

143
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: We have communities that are scared, but there's also communities

144
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: that are angry.

145
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: In addition to being scared, They're angry and they want

146
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: to take action.

147
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: The East Side and other parts of the city are

148
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: ready to take action and protests, and we are demanding

149
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: that their rights be protected when they do so.

150
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: What rights would those be to just protest or to

151
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: as pretty much everybody during today's press conference said, take

152
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: part organized networks to try to actively resist ice operations.

153
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: That's sort of the big joke about what was going

154
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: on in Minneapolis. This was not just a spontaneous protest.

155
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: What this was was an organized effort and a very

156
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: highly coordinated effort to resist to actively obstruct ongoing federal investigations. Now,

157
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: it should be clear at this point as if people

158
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: needed any reminder, at least those listening to this show

159
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: probably don't because you actually get informed about what's going

160
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: on in the city of Milwaukee in the state of Wisconsin.

161
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: But it appears that many of these lefties have no

162
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: idea that there are currently no plans whatsoever for there

163
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: to be a large scale surge of ICE agents in

164
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: Milwaukee like there was in Minneapolis. Absolutely not. In fact,

165
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: there was a rumor going around that was started by

166
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: a left wing guynecologist slash liberal talk show host. And

167
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: if there was ever if there was ever a dual

168
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: role for a LIB, especially for an awful an affluent

169
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: white female LIB, it would be gynecologist slash left wing

170
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: talk show host or left wing podcast host. Her name

171
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: is doctor Christen Liarly, and she was well liarlying about

172
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: ICE agents booking one hundred hotel rooms at the downtown

173
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Hilton. This sent pretty much every LIB in the

174
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: state into an absolute panic that there was going to

175
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: be some sort of massive search. It is not coming,

176
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: it is not being planned. In fact, after Minneapolis, it's

177
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: abundantly clear that the Trump administration has changed its tact

178
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: to try to get as many communities in a given

179
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: state to cooperate with simple cooperation in terms of allowing

180
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: ICE agents to go into the Milwaukee County jail, to

181
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: go into a local county jail and just take dangerous

182
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: criminal illegal aliens who have already been arrested. You might

183
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: remember we've been covering this for the past couple of

184
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: days that Wisconsin's Lieutenant governor, a leading candidate for governor,

185
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: Sarah Rodriguez, has been tripping all over herself trying to

186
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: cover up for the fact that she initially said when

187
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: she was asked, hey, would you allow ICE agents to

188
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: just sort of go into jails and pick up these

189
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: dangerous illegals and you know, easily get them deported without

190
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: any danger to anyone, including the illegal him or herself. Yeah, yeah,

191
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: she said initially, and then she realized apparently just how

192
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: bad an answer that is for her psychotic Alex Brower base.

193
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: So she had to spend the last three days. Now

194
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: she is on day three of saying no, I absolutely

195
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: would not allow ICE in any jails. Well, it wasn't

196
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: just radical leftist socialists like Alex Brower, who apparently is

197
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: about a couple ICE agent spottings away from going full

198
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: Alex pretty on. Any agent who is unfortunate to be

199
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: in his path. It's not just him and his radical

200
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: loonies saying okay, we're going to actively resist. The president

201
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: of the Milwaukee Common Council, Jose Perez, actually cited Elan o'mar,

202
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: who was in Wisconsin at a mosque in the Milwaukee

203
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: area over the weekend in saying that the community leftist

204
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: leaders like him and Brower and Zamaripa and Dimitrievik and

205
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: whomever else, as well as community organizers like Newman Ortiz

206
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: and her psychos over at Voss de la Frontier, they

207
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: need to organize. They need to have these massive, well

208
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: funded resistance networks and they need to start organizing them now.

209
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 3: We have to build our communication systems and networks out.

210
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 3: We can't wait until we're UNDERSEIEG. That's one of the

211
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: many lessons learned around the country, especially for Minneapolis. So

212
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: that's what we intend to do.

213
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: What he is talking about, just to be clear, is

214
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: exactly what we saw in Minneapolis when there was an

215
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: undercover citizen journalist who exposed a massive signal chat that

216
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: apparently had access to a live database of driver's licenses

217
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: and license plates. Because they were able to track ICE

218
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: agent vehicles in real time, and it was actually shocking.

219
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: There was a training manual, There was a well organized

220
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: group of people who are all going through this signal

221
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: chat to try to go wherever ICE agents would be

222
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: and blow the whistles and just like Renee Good, try

223
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: to get their vehicles in the way of these agents

224
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: so that they wouldn't be able to make any arrests,

225
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: to try to tip off criminal illeg aliens that ICE

226
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,359
Speaker 1: agents were in the area, in other words, to criminally

227
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: obstruct law enforcement. You got the president of the Milwaukee

228
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: Common Council openly talking about this while he unveils a

229
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: package called Ice Out Mke. The President of the Milwaukee

230
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: Common Council, in other words, is openly talking about committing

231
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: a federal crime in obstructing law enforcement. What else could

232
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: he possibly mean with respect to these communications networks? Now, now,

233
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people are very concerned about Jose Perez

234
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: and what he said today and why he is going

235
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: all in on trying to obstruct law enforcement. I think

236
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: I know, I think I know Perez is terrified that

237
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: an ICE agent is going to pinch his butt. Like

238
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: the president of the Wisconsin Center District during that David

239
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: Crowley fundraiser. Yes, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel finally got the

240
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: criminal complaint. They even posted the transcript of the phone

241
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: call between Perez and Marty Brooks, who he accused of

242
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: pinching his butt, and Perez say, you did it, Marty,

243
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: You pinched me, You pinched my buddy said no, no,

244
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm offender that you would even say that. Now. Of course,

245
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Police Department investigated found that there wasn't enough

246
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: evidence to move forward. Wait, what do you think? What

247
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: do you think if it was Robin Voss accusing Devin

248
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: Lemahue of pinching his butt? Do you think the cops

249
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: in Madison would just sort of let that one go?

250
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: Or would they be putting resources into this? Like this

251
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: is the FBI investigating the Nancy Guthrie case. So I

252
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: think this is my pet theory that Jose Perez is

253
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: terrified that an ICE agent will come in, he'll wear

254
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: a mask, and he will pinch his rear.

255
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 4: End.

256
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: I can see why he wants ICE out of Milwaukee,

257
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: Ice out of Jose Perez's But can we finally put

258
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: the rest the rumor that you're going to need a

259
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: subscription to ESPN plus Hulu, Netflix, HBO Max, and MGM

260
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: plus just to watch the Milwaukee Brewers. I honestly, I

261
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: don't think I've seen more disinformation being reported than to

262
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: get a subscription to the MLB Network, you also need

263
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: a secondary subscription to ESPN. We're going to talk with

264
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: the Brewers President of Business Operations, Rick Slessinger about that.

265
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: As pitchers and catchers reported today all sorts of stuff

266
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 1: to discuss regarding the business of baseball. And since it's

267
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: a relatively warm February day, a sunny day, I thought,

268
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: let's talk about some baseball. Coming up in the five

269
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, we are going to talk to a very

270
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: impressive candidate for the Wisconsin State Senate, Mike Roberts, who

271
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: is running in the district that is currently represented by

272
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: Senator Rob Hutton, who announced a couple of weeks ago

273
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: that he is not going to seek reelection. And Roberts

274
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: is just a very impressive guy, and we are going

275
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: to talk to him coming up in the five o'clock hour.

276
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 1: After we dispel another bit of misinformation, and that is

277
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: that Republicans have absolutely no chance of holding the state Senate,

278
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: I'm actually going to dive into the numbers, and you

279
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: would be surprised at what they show. I can't say

280
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: I was surprised by what I heard from the Milwaukee

281
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: Common Council, including Common Council President Jose Perez, today at

282
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: the ice out MKE legislation introduction event. But frankly, what

283
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: they did say was a little shocking. Sure, there were

284
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: your standard platitudes like this from the Common Council president.

285
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: Federal immigration surgeons that we've seen across the country have

286
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: never been about removing the worst of the worst. They, however,

287
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 3: have been about fear and attacking those some believe didn't

288
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 3: have support.

289
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: Sort of like Jose Perez's poor butt when it was

290
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: assaulted by Marty Brooks. For those who don't get that joke,

291
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: Marty Brooks, the president of the Wisconsin Center District, was

292
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: accused by Perez at a fundraiser event or after a

293
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: fundraiser event for Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley's scubatorial run

294
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: back in October of quote pinching his butt. The Milwaukee

295
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: Journal Sentinel just released a transcript of the call between

296
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: Brooks and Perez where Perez accused him of pinching his

297
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: but and frankly, folks, It's one of the funniest things

298
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: that I have read in quite some time. Can you

299
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: imagine poor Jose Perez hosting this press conference about how

300
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: much he hates one law enforcement agency, having to go

301
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: half in hand, tail between his legs to another law

302
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: enforcement agency to say, I was the victim of a crime.

303
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: A man pinched my butt. I didn't like it. I

304
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: felt victimized. Please law enforcement help me. Now, this same guy,

305
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: this same guy, who wants to criminalize male butt pinching

306
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: seems kind of homophobic to me. Common Council President Perez,

307
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: you know when butt pinching is criminalized, When butt pinching

308
00:20:55,240 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: is outlawed, only outlaws will pinch butts. By the way,

309
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: has anybody heard from Marty Brooks in this whole thing?

310
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: How is the alleged pincher doing so? What exactly is

311
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: the ice out mke legislation that these people are talking about, Well,

312
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: they aren't exactly saying. Common Council Member Joe Costa Zamaipa

313
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: outlined a couple of the prongs of this proposal.

314
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 5: We are putting forth legislation to require all law enforcement

315
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 5: interacting with our constituents to be unmasked and to display

316
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 5: visible identification for full transparency and in an effort to

317
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 5: de escalate fear, tensions and confusion. Additionally, we are putting

318
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 5: forth legislation to bar ICE agents from staging on city

319
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 5: properties like our city parks, like our libraries, et cetera.

320
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 5: Safe spaces are safe places for all Milwaukeeans.

321
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: Just so we're all clear here. And I know Joe

322
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: Costa Zamaaripa has no idea about this, because Joe Costa

323
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: Zamaripa might actually be one of the And I say

324
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: this knowing that there are a whole lot of dumb

325
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: people in state politics. She might be one of the

326
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: dumbest people I have ever encountered in state politics. I'm

327
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: telling you, brain power about equivalent to an overripe turnip.

328
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: The City of Milwaukee has absolutely no authority to do

329
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: any of this. And in fact, fellow older person Marina

330
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: Dimitrievik was actually asked Fox six reporter Jason Calvey, is

331
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: a very very good reporter, asked, hey, so doesn't this idea,

332
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't a municipal ordinance that would keep ICE

333
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: agents out of parks and libraries and public places. Doesn't

334
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: this sort of violate the supremacy clause, specifically the inter

335
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: governmental immunity doctrine. Dimitrijevik had absolutely no idea how to

336
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: answer this.

337
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 6: So, like I said, this is being drafted as we speak.

338
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 6: We look at what the county just did. We do

339
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 6: have jurisdiction over city property.

340
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: Not to obstruct federal investigations. You don't that that would

341
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: be a crime that would violate the supremacy clause, That

342
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: would be obstruction of federal process.

343
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 6: We will look at a permitting way.

344
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: We will look at as a permitting way. We're going

345
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: to require a permit for law enforcement to what use

346
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: the library? What are you going to keep them out

347
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: because they've got overdue books?

348
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 6: In transparency, the people have the right to know how

349
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 6: their local resources are being used. So we can promise

350
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 6: you that every pieceless legislation will be drafted, discussed, legally reviewed,

351
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 6: And like President Jose Perez said, the first Latino Common

352
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 6: Council president of the city.

353
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: Okay, there is nothing that grinds my gears more than

354
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: affluent liberal white ladies pronouncing Hispanic names. She does not

355
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: talk with an Hispanic accent for the entire what is

356
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: this a forty five second SoundBite, but then she just

357
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: she does the trill. R j'sse ps your name is

358
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: Marina Dimitrievik. You are as white and of European ancestry

359
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: as it gets the.

360
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 6: Milwaukee what he said was that everyone will be welcome,

361
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 6: and he said that we will do everything that we can.

362
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: So we can't do everything. We can't.

363
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 6: We know we're not the federal government. Ah, but our

364
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 6: people are asking us to use every single city resource

365
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 6: and tool that we have to do what we can.

366
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: So that's a long word salad to cover up for

367
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: the fact that no, they absolutely can't do pretty much

368
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 1: any of this. You cannot put a municipal ordinance up

369
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: that requires ICE agents not to wear masks. Do you

370
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: know why ICE agents wear masks? Do any of these idiots?

371
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 7: Now?

372
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure they do, because, as a famous tweet established,

373
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: much of liberal discourse is just them pretending not to

374
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: understand things, thus making discourse impossible. ICE agents are forced

375
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: to wear masks because they are being dockxed and they

376
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: are being targeted. Their families are being targeted, their homes

377
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: are being targeted by crazies, just like the members of

378
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Common Council who apparently think it is just

379
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: fine to use their positions as city leaders to obstruct

380
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 1: federal immigration authorities. Federal immigration authorities, mind you, who have

381
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 1: absolutely no plans to come to Milwaukee. We'll change gears

382
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: event talk with Rick sleshions or, a president of business

383
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: operations for the Milwaukee Brewers, as pitchers and catchers report today,

384
00:25:52,440 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: Dan O'donnaldshaw coming right back gest words in the English

385
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: language after a long winter. Heck, in the middle of

386
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: a long winter, our pitchers and catchers report Brewers pitchers

387
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: and catchers did report today, in fact, joining us now

388
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: to talk about it, as the team's business operations president, right,

389
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: friend of the Dan O'donald show, Rick's lessinger and Rick,

390
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: congratulations the start of another big season.

391
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, hey, Dan, it's it's welcome after this brutal winner

392
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 8: we've had. And yeah, I'll be down there next week

393
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 8: and excited to see the team. And you know, before

394
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 8: we know it, opening day will be March twenty six,

395
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 8: So it's going to be a sprint between now and

396
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 8: that Thursday.

397
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: And in fact, a lot of people I think are

398
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: quite confused about when opening day hits, how exactly they're

399
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: going to be able to watch the Brewers this season

400
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: and how much they're going to have to pay for it. Now, Rick,

401
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: I have been on social media, so it is my

402
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: understanding that you are going to need to subscribe to

403
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: Apple TV, Netflix, HBO, Max, Hulu, ESPN Plus, and MLB

404
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: Network just to watch the Brewers and it's going to

405
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: cost four five dollars a year.

406
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 8: Yeah, if that was the case, that would be a

407
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 8: hard sell. But yeah, Dad, I appreciate the question because

408
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 8: I want to clear any confusion. The good news is

409
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 8: for for just about everybody who consumed our games last year,

410
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 8: whether it was on cable or satellite or streaming, it's

411
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 8: going to be the same experience this year, just different channels.

412
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 8: You know, obviously our FanDuel deal ended and we'll be

413
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 8: on cable, we'll be on satellite, will be different channels,

414
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 8: but easy to find. And as far as those who

415
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 8: were streaming through the FanDuel subscription last year, it's the

416
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 8: same price, but it'll be going through Brewers TV, so

417
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 8: just different service provider, but same terms, same access. And frankly,

418
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 8: the production call is going to be first rate because

419
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 8: MLB Media has some great new camera and new technolog

420
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 8: to call advice advances, microphones, drones, So I think the

421
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 8: fan will have a better experience, but they're not going

422
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 8: to miss any games. And about one hundred and forty

423
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 8: five of those games will be on local television or streaming,

424
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 8: and then the balance will be on some of the

425
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 8: national platforms.

426
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: So you only have to pay one fee. You only

427
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: have to pay as what like one hundred bucks or

428
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: something like that to get the MLB streaming package to

429
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: watch the Brewers if you don't have it already, Yes.

430
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 8: If ninety nine dollars and ninet nine cents for the

431
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 8: for the season long package if you want to get

432
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 8: them in streaming obviously, if you're subscribing on cable and satellite,

433
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 8: it's part of your you know, whatever package you have,

434
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 8: but the same price as last year.

435
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: So I have YouTube TV, do I have to get

436
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: the Brewers package?

437
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 8: Well? YouTube TV is a challenge because we as in

438
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 8: the case, we haven't been able to reach a deal

439
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 8: with Ube, and I know that was a challenge for FanDuel.

440
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 8: But you Dan, I can help you out if you

441
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 8: want to buy a streaming.

442
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: Package excellent nine nineties It's like, what are were you

443
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: selling these? Like Girl Scout cookies. Now you're just going

444
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: door to door for a packages. Rick, I love it.

445
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: I love it. Uh what.

446
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 4: No?

447
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean? You know me, I'm a I'm a die

448
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: hard Brewers fan. Obviously I'm going to be subscribing to

449
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: that package as I did last year. So this one's

450
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,239
Speaker 1: a no brainer to me. And just to clear up

451
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: another rumor that I have heard, the entire broadcast team

452
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: is back. B a rock. Everybody is back.

453
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 8: Right, absolutely, Yeah, same great talent on the TV side

454
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 8: and yeah, so yeah, everybody's signed up and ready to go,

455
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 8: and yeah, there should be no doubt about that. We're

456
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 8: really impressed and lucky to have the crew we do.

457
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 4: Now.

458
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: A lot of people also, I think we're confused on

459
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: the baseball side of things. And I know you handle

460
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: the business operations, and Matt Arnold, the general manager, is

461
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: also the president of baseball operations. But a lot of people,

462
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: I think this week were shocked by the tra of

463
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: Caleb Durbin, who is not just the team's starting third

464
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: basement as a rookie last year, he also finished third

465
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: in National League Rookie of the Year voting. He's dealt

466
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for a handful

467
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: of prospects alongside Andrew Monasterio and another player who go

468
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of infield depth that is now gone.

469
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: And when you combine that with the trade of Freddie

470
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: Peralta to the New York Mets, you've got a lot

471
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: of people rick I think saying, well, hey, wait a second.

472
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: The Brewers have just won three straight divisional titles. Yes,

473
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: it was a bad playoff loss to the eventual champion

474
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: LA Dodgers, But is this a sign that the Brewers

475
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: are thinking they might not be competitive in twenty twenty six,

476
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: that they're instead planning for the future.

477
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, well I can address that. I will tell you

478
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 8: I feel really good about the team this year, and

479
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 8: I trust Man Old and his wizards in baseball preas.

480
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 8: You know, I get it. You hate to lose a

481
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 8: guy like Freddie praulta who grew up with the Brewers

482
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 8: and really was a tremendous player both in the clubhouse

483
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 8: and on the field, and had a tremendous season last year.

484
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 8: But you know, the reality of our business is you've

485
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 8: got to make some tough decisions, just like you know,

486
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 8: we had to trade Corbyn Burns and obviously Josh Hater.

487
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 8: You know, I think what what Matt is able to

488
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 8: do is get some great returns in exchange for trading

489
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 8: some talented players. You'd like to keep everybody. I mean,

490
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 8: I would love to have you know, it's going back

491
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 8: to when we had Prince Fielder.

492
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 4: I wish we had Prince Fielder, but he couldn't keep.

493
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 8: Them, and you know, the economics being what they are.

494
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 8: We're not going to cry about it. But it's a reality.

495
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 8: And what Matt has done is certainly, you know, acquired

496
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 8: really good, talented young players that people may have not

497
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 8: heard of, but I guarantee you that they're going to

498
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 8: hear about them after this season because we've got some

499
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 8: really talented guys coming in. And again, it's hard to

500
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 8: replace Freddie. I'm not saying any of these guys are

501
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 8: going to immediately replace Freddy. I'm not going to say

502
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 8: these guys are going to replace Caleb. But you know,

503
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 8: I would just trust the process and trust that even

504
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 8: though the faces teams and some of the names in

505
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 8: the back of the jersey change, the team's really talented

506
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 8: and Matt and Pat is done a great job of

507
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 8: molding this team.

508
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: And the reality is look I was hearing the exact

509
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: same thing when we lost Willia Domas and look at

510
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: what happened the next season there. I mean, it is

511
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: a reality. And you said, Rick Slesinger, by the way,

512
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: the Brewers president of baseball or business operations, excuse me,

513
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: joining me on the phone here on the Dan O'Donnell show.

514
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: You talk about that business of baseball. I mentioned the

515
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 1: La Dodgers. This is the big discussion surrounding baseball, and

516
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: that is whether there is actually going to be baseball

517
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: when the collective bargaining Agreement expires at the end of

518
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six season. So after this coming season,

519
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: there is a widespread belief, Rick, that there is going

520
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: to be an owner lockout because you've got teams like

521
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: the Mets. You've got teams like the Dodgers who are

522
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: deferring just hundreds of millions of dollars in salary that

523
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: they're able to pay just these exorbitant, top tier free

524
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: agent contracts for the best players in baseball, and a

525
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: team like the Brewer is that, let's face it, forget

526
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: having their own network whose rights they control. You guys

527
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: didn't even have a channel to broadcast your games on

528
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. I mean, the disparity, the

529
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: wealth disparity in this game is significant, and the thinking

530
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: is that the owners want a strict salary cap, luxury taxes,

531
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: all of that sort of thing to restore some semblance

532
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: of competitive balance. Do you believe that there's at least

533
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: a chance that baseball is not played in twenty twenty seven.

534
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, let me talk about that stuff. I mean, one

535
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 8: of the things I look at is sort of the

536
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 8: past and what has been the long history and the

537
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 8: more recent history of labor relations in baseball. We've had

538
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 8: thirty one years since the last time we had the

539
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 8: work stoppage, and while we came close in twenty twenty two,

540
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 8: we were able to get a deal and we didn't

541
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 8: miss any any regular season games, And you know, I

542
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 8: think that there's motivation on all parties to try to

543
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 8: work something out that makes sense. And yeah, there are

544
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 8: big issues that we got to address, and the economic

545
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 8: disparities are real. We're hearing it from our fans, and

546
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 8: there's a lot of different solutions to how we fix

547
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 8: it that don't necessarily cause you know, an armageddon situation

548
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 8: or a situation where the players say we absolutely won't

549
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 8: live with that. There are many different solutions. You know,

550
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 8: I'm not part of the bargaining, so I'm not going

551
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 8: to be able to comment and what specifically might be offered.

552
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 8: But there's been a lot of discussion in the media

553
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 8: about what we're talking about. But again, those the people,

554
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 8: the reporters that are not in the room negotiating, and

555
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 8: I think we're going in and I think the players

556
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 8: have to go in with an open mind and figure

557
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 8: out a system. The players also want a lot of

558
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 8: things that we want. We want the chance for not

559
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 8: just who has the biggest pocketbook to win the World Series,

560
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 8: but have multiple teams having multiple opportunities. You know, there's

561
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 8: only some only so many players can play for the Dodgers. Yeah,

562
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 8: so you know, you've got a lot of players who

563
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 8: want to play for other teams, who enjoy playing in

564
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 8: Milwaukee and Cleveland and Minnesota and all that stuff, and

565
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 8: they want a chance to win, and I think they're

566
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 8: also part of the solution. We also have, you know,

567
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 8: economics to figure out between the big market teams and

568
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 8: the small market teams. We have to figure out the

569
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 8: media situation. So a lot of questions, but a lot

570
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 8: of smart people, and I think there is motivation to

571
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 8: figure it out. The baseball is going through a great

572
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 8: renaissance with attendance, rule changes, with great fandom and great

573
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 8: brand awareness, and I think there's real pressure and real

574
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,479
Speaker 8: understanding that we try to figure something off here.

575
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: And boy, oh boy, I'll tell you the rule change.

576
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: The pitch clock. I have said it before and I'll

577
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: say it again is the single greatest innovation, quite possibly

578
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: in the history of sports. It is just revolutionized baseball.

579
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: It's made it much more consumable for the average fan.

580
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 1: And you know, the big issue now is that there

581
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: isn't that massive national TV deal like the NFL has,

582
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: like the NBA has, you know, the international streaming rights

583
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. And because you've still got

584
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: these discrepancies in the TV and radio contracts between the

585
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: big market and small market teams. Also you know how

586
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 1: much they're getting in say merchandise sales and that sort

587
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: of thing. It is a complicated situation. But if there's

588
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: one thing I do know, it's that Major League Baseball

589
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: absolutely learned its lesson after nineteen ninety four. I can

590
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: remember being a kid and a heartbroken coming down to

591
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: Sports Center in the morning and having to hear I

592
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: think it was actually Mike Turrico saying that the major

593
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: league players are now on strike. I was like the

594
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: biggest Ken Griffy junior fan, and I knew that meant

595
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: that he wasn't going to hit the sixty second home run.

596
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: So I just I'm very attuned to this. And Rick,

597
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: I really do appreciate you giving such a candid and

598
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: honest peak behind the curtain for baseball operations and just

599
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: the business of the game. And I do hope that

600
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:00,959
Speaker 1: you will join us again soon.

601
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, thank you, and uh yeah, we don't want to

602
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 8: relive those days in the nineties. And yeah, the sports

603
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 8: on such a high note, let's let's keep it.

604
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: Going absolutely, especially here in Milwaukee where we love our

605
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers. And you know, if there's one thing I

606
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:23,720
Speaker 1: do know, it's that no matter what stars this team loses,

607
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: it's that they are always going to be in contention.

608
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: Let's face it, and El Central isn't that great this year.

609
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: It's there for the taking, probably coming down to the

610
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,959
Speaker 1: Brewers and Cubs. Again. You're listening to the Dan o'donald show.

621
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: is time for your daily Trump Day.

622
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 10: We're gonna win so much you may even get tired

623
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 10: of winning.

624
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,879
Speaker 1: Tump just keeps winning. It is a win for the administration.

625
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 9: It's also a big win for the United States.

626
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,800
Speaker 1: We have to keep winning. We have to win more.

627
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna win Moore. The Save Act has passed the

628
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: House today by a razor thin two sixteen to two

629
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: fifteen vote. It requires photo ID and proof of citizenship nationwide,

630
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: and now advances to the Senate, which has a bit

631
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: of a difficult decision to make. Does it alter or

632
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 1: end the filibuster rule in order to pass the Save

633
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: Act and then send it to President Trump's desk. He

634
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 1: has urged reform of the filibuster in order to pass

635
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: the legislation, which he is calling the Save America Act.

636
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: The President meeting today with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

637
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: at the White House. The two did not address the

638
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: media after their meeting, but Trump posted on truth social

639
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: that he urged net and Yahoo to continue to engage

640
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: in negotiations with Iran. Huge economic news for the Trump

641
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: administration today, just days after the Dow crossed fifty thousand

642
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: for the first time, a blowout jobs report one hundred

643
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: and thirty thousand jobs created versus just fifty five to

644
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: seventy thousand expected. Treasury Secretary Scott Fessant on Fox News

645
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: this afternoon, this is.

646
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 11: What we've been sending the table for for all of

647
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 11: twenty twenty five. I've said that repeatedly, we've put the

648
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 11: necessary ingredients policies into place, and now they're starting to

649
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,720
Speaker 11: pay off. And what's more impressive here is the number

650
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 11: you just gave is the total jobs. There were more

651
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 11: than one hundred and seventy thousand private sector jobs, and

652
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 11: there were about there was about a forty thousand decrease

653
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 11: in government jobs. So, as I've been saying since we

654
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 11: this administration came into office, we are reprivatizing the economy.

655
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: More on Trumpanomics coming up in just a second. Attorney

656
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 1: General Pam Bondi testified today before the House Judiciary Committee

657
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: and discussed President Trump's historic surge on criminality.

658
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 7: In twenty twenty five, we saw the lowest murder rate

659
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 7: in one hundred and twenty five years. That's nothing short

660
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 7: of historic. If you compare twenty five to twenty four,

661
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 7: here's what you'll find. The murder rate is down twenty

662
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 7: one percent, robbery down twenty three percent, carjacking down forty

663
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:55,479
Speaker 7: three percent, gun assault down twenty two percent. Aga sult

664
00:40:55,640 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 7: Burglary could go on and on. Crime is declining. This

665
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 7: did not happen by accident. The numbers tell an important,

666
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:09,760
Speaker 7: yet straightforward story. President Trump has given us the resources,

667
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 7: the support, and the leadership to protect the American people.

668
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,800
Speaker 1: Now, of course, Democrats didn't want to talk about dramatically

669
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: declining crime rates, and there is some new data out

670
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: in America's most dangerous cities, crime rates dropping precipitously all over.

671
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: We'll get into that coming up at about four twenty five,

672
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: all Democrats wanted to talk about. You guessed it, the

673
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: Epstein files. You know all they want to do. All

674
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 1: the American people need to know this.

675
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 7: They are talking about Epstein today. This has been around

676
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 7: since the Obama administration. This administration released over three million

677
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 7: pages of documents, over three million, and Donald Trump signed

678
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 7: that law to release all of those documents. He is

679
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 7: the most transparent president in the nation's history. And none

680
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 7: of them, none of them, ask Merrick Garland, over the

681
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 7: last four years, one word about Jeffrey Epstein. How ironic

682
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 7: is that?

683
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: Not just ironic? But tell it that, ladies and gentlemen,

684
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: your daily Trump Day. And yesterday we announced to what

685
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: I consider to be a pretty big deal ahead of

686
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six spring election in Wisconsin, the Ultimate

687
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: Conservative voter Guide. We are trying to list each and

688
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: every conservative candidate in each and every race across this

689
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: great state of ours. But we need your help. If

690
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: you're a candidate, if you are a member of your

691
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: local county Republican Party, and you're working on a list

692
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: of recommended candidates, we ask that you would contact us

693
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: at DoD at iHeartMedia dot com and share that list

694
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: with us as we are putting together in every single county,

695
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: all seventy two of them, recommendations for conservatives. It is

696
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: by far the top question that I get every single spring, Dan,

697
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: who's the conservative in this race? Dan? Who do I

698
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: vote for for Judge? Dan? Who would you recommend for

699
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 1: county supervisor? Oftentimes I don't have the ability to do

700
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: the extensive research into some of these very small races

701
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: in far off places across the state, and that's why

702
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: we are sort of crowd sourcing our ability to put

703
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 1: together a comprehensive guide for conservatives. We are going to

704
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: have an interactive map. It is going to be online.

705
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: There is not going to be a paper guide because frankly,

706
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: we want to have so many candidate recommendations that a

707
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: paper guide would be fifty pages, and we don't want

708
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: to print fifty pages. It is going to be available

709
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: in a spot that we are going to be announcing

710
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: very very shortly in the next couple of weeks. But

711
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: right now, we want you to email medd at iHeartMedia

712
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,439
Speaker 1: dot com. Are you a candidate, Tell me your name,

713
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: Tell me what county you're running in, Tell me what

714
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 1: position you are running for be specific Aldermannic district in

715
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: the town of Richmond, District number three. Give me a

716
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: brief bio, give me something that will allow me and

717
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: my team to do a little bit of research so

718
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 1: that we can check your conservative bona fides. And yes,

719
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,240
Speaker 1: we are going to be checking each and every candidate.

720
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: We are not going to fall victim to any liberal

721
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: trojan horses. So kindly don't even try because we will

722
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: figure you out very very quickly. But if you are

723
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: a conservative and you want to be included in the

724
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: Ultimate Conservative Voter Guide, we do believe that this is

725
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: going to be one of the most read web pages

726
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: in the entire state all year, and if you want

727
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: to be a part of it. If someone you know

728
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: is running, you want to help them out. Again, if

729
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: you're a part of a local conservative group, if you're

730
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: a part of a local Republican party and you want

731
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 1: to help us out, please do contact Medd at iHeartMedia

732
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: dot com. We have already gotten a number, and I

733
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: mean a number of people who want to be included.

734
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: I have gotten so many entries. In fact, so many

735
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: people have been reaching out to me. I have just

736
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: not been able to go through all of those emails

737
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: and answer rest assured. I am reading and we have

738
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: got people sifting through each and everyone, so absolutely keep

739
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: those emails coming. I dare say we got at least

740
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: one hundred candidates who wanted to be a part of

741
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: the list. We were contacted by a number of representatives

742
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: from Republican parties in our area, in our listening area

743
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: in both Milwaukee and Madison. Where things are going to

744
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: be a little bit difficult, though, is where this show

745
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: is not on the radio, and folks, we are going

746
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: to try to get this show on the radio in

747
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 1: all four corners of the state. We want to do

748
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: so in time for the twenty twenty six gubernatorial election,

749
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: because this is going to be a big one. But

750
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: let's face it, in partisan elections, it's relatively easy to

751
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: know who you are likely going to be voting for.

752
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: It's the person with the R next to their name,

753
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: or if you're a LIB, person with the D next

754
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,839
Speaker 1: to their name. In nonpartisan races. These are, of course

755
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: nonpartisan in name only. Everyone knows the Democrats have been

756
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: recommending candidates. They've been putting together candidate lists for decades,

757
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 1: and since no one has tried to undertake a statewide list.

758
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: I figured, you know what, it might as well be me,

759
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 1: but I am asking for your help dood at iHeartMedia

760
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: dot com. So that news just into us about an

761
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 1: hour ago, the House advancing the Save Act to the Senate.

762
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: This is common sense legislation. In fact, there is no

763
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: reason that the arguments that were made on the floor

764
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 1: of the House today. I could actually spend the next

765
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: hour just playing soundbites of Democrats and laughing how stupid

766
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: they are. It isn't even worth dignifying them with it.

767
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: It basically comes down to women and minorities are too

768
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: stupid to be able to get a driver's license or

769
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:51,720
Speaker 1: real ID or to update their name when they get married. Women,

770
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you. Listen to me. I

771
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: can see the ratings. The DoD is very popular with

772
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: the ladies, especially in the sixty five plus age bracket.

773
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:07,479
Speaker 1: Love you Nanas and Grammys. It was pretty easy for

774
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: you to show your marriage certificate, go down to the

775
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: DMV and change your license, right, Pretty easy for you

776
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: to go and get a real ID taking a while.

777
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,239
Speaker 1: Guess anybody who has flown in the past year has

778
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 1: upgraded their driver's license to a real ID. Everybody can

779
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: get a passport, Everybody has access to a birth certificate

780
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: if they need one, except, of course, Democrats, who believe

781
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: that it is nigh on impossible for black people and

782
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: for women to get a photo ID. Why is it

783
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: that every single argument that the left makes as it

784
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: pertains to minorities and women always comes across as really

785
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,439
Speaker 1: kind of racist and sexist. The real debate is going

786
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 1: to be whether or not the Senate invokes the nuclear

787
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 1: option and does away with the filibuster in order to

788
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 1: pass this. Look, this is going to be filibustered. It

789
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: is going to be blocked by Democrats who know that

790
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: Republicans will not be able to get the sixty vote

791
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: threshold that they need. In fact, a number of Rhinos

792
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: have already come for it. Do you know what Republicans

793
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: have already come forward and said they're not going to

794
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: vote for this. That's right, Lisa Murkowski, Senator from Alaska.

795
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: She has already said she's not going to vote for this.

796
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: Why Because she is Lisa Murkowski. Everybody always goes Susan Colins,

797
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: Susan Collins. Susan Collins. Susan Collins does what she needs

798
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: to to get re elected in a very Democrat state.

799
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: In fact, she's running for reelection this year again, and

800
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: Democrats are already salivating at the possibility that they're going

801
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: to be able to take her out. It is almost

802
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,920
Speaker 1: impossible to defeat Susan Collins in Maine. She is incredibly

803
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: strong there. It's because she takes liberal positions, and oftentimes

804
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:11,799
Speaker 1: she does so with the express permission of Senate leadership,

805
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 1: because they want her vote in Maine, which would otherwise

806
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: go to elect Lisa Murkowski has no excuse. Alaska is

807
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: one of the most Republican states in the entire country.

808
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,320
Speaker 1: She is the epitome of a rhino, and she's already

809
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: said she's going to vote no on this. Republicans are

810
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,720
Speaker 1: likely to get one. Dem defector John Fetterman has said,

811
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: this is common sense electoral reform, but it's not going

812
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 1: to matter because you need the sixty vote threshold. Well

813
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: what if you didn't, or rather, what if you did,

814
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: But what if every time a bill was filibustered you

815
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: actually had to filibuster. Since nineteen seventeen, there have not

816
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: been actual filibusters in the Senate before that. You would

817
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 1: actually have to hold the floor and talk until you

818
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: could no longer talk, at which point you would yield

819
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,719
Speaker 1: the floor and a cloture vote would be done and

820
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: the filibuster would be over. In nineteen seventeen, that changed.

821
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: In nineteen seventy five, filibusters became remarkably common. First, in

822
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: the early nineteen seventies, there was a move to create

823
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: what's known as the two track system of legislation. Before,

824
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 1: if a bill was filibustered, all Senate bills would stop.

825
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 1: They were like cars on a train track. I want

826
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 1: you to imagine railway cars. If the locomotive stops, that's

827
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 1: the first bill, that's the bill being filibustered. There is

828
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: no way for those other cars to move past and

829
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: to go up for a vote. Well, in nineteen seventy one,

830
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:03,799
Speaker 1: seventy two Democrats, who controlled the Senate at the time

831
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: created what's known as the two track legislative system. They said,

832
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:14,359
Speaker 1: all right, once you signal an intent to filibuster, that

833
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: bill stops, and the train of bills behind it moves

834
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 1: on to a second track, where the first bill just

835
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: sort of dies on its own little track, and every

836
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 1: other bill gets a vote, every other bill gets a hearing.

837
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: The Senate's business can continue. This was a huge mistake.

838
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: In March of nineteen seventy five, that mistake was doubled

839
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: down upon when the threshold for breaking a filibuster was

840
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: moved from sixty six votes to simply sixty. At that point,

841
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: every bill it seemed that was even the least bit

842
00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:02,800
Speaker 1: controversial was filibustered. Are two ways that you can fix

843
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: the filibuster and not have to do away with the

844
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 1: filibuster at all. You don't have to go nuclear. All

845
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: you need to do is either go back to what's

846
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: known as the standing or talking filibuster. Force somebody who

847
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: wants to filibuster a bill to actually stand there and

848
00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 1: keep talking until they can no longer talk. That might

849
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: not be a great idea because you have blowhards like

850
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: Corey Booker, who already did a filibuster just literally to

851
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: hear himself talk. You would have grand standing all the time.

852
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 1: You can keep the zombie filibuster, but do away with

853
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 1: the two track system. Once a bill is filibustered, just

854
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 1: simply end Senate business until that filibuster is broken. That

855
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: would encourage deal making. That would probably mean a more

856
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: judicious use of the filibuster. But let's be totally honest

857
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: with ourselves. Democrats would never, ever, ever end a filibuster

858
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: over something as important to them as the Save Act.

859
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,720
Speaker 1: Even though it's rather obvious that eighty five eighty six

860
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:27,320
Speaker 1: percent of Americans want photo ID for all voting. Even

861
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,880
Speaker 1: though hundreds I believe it's one hundred plus countries across

862
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,919
Speaker 1: the world require some form of photo ID to vote nationwide,

863
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: America doesn't for some reason, because the sixteen percent of

864
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 1: people who don't want photo ID want to be able

865
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: to cheat in elections. I have yet to hear another

866
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 1: good argument, and please don't recycle the same old Black

867
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,720
Speaker 1: people and women are too stupid and incompetent to update

868
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: their IDs or to get IDs. That's a terrible argument.

869
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: The only one that makes sense is you want to

870
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: have some level of impersonation fraud. By the way, black

871
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: people who supposedly would be disenfranchised. But by what Chuck

872
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 1: Schumer has been calling Jim Crow two point zero, they

873
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: support Voter I D to the tune of seventy six percent.

874
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: Seventy one percent of Democrats support Voter I D. By

875
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 1: the way, I have once again challenged Wisconsin Congressman Mark

876
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: Pokan to debate this. He has been tweeting as he does.

877
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 1: I'm not actually sure this guy does anything except tweet

878
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 1: and take random trips to Costa Rica for reasons unknown,

879
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,399
Speaker 1: but I challenged him to come on this show and

880
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:55,319
Speaker 1: debate the merits of the Save Act. He well is

881
00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 1: still tweeting and refusing to come on this show because

882
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: deep down, I believe even he knows there isn't a

883
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: real good argument against voter id or proof of citizenship

884
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 1: for voting. Trumpanomics is working, and I can prove it

885
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 1: that coming up next here on the dan O'donnald's show.

886
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: Now I know nothing is penetrating the mainstream media's razor

887
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: like focus on laser like focus, I should say, laser

888
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: like focus on Nancy Guthrie. And I was watching the

889
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: Olympics last night and they even broke in to say

890
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 1: that they had taken into custody a person of interest. Well,

891
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: they released him a short time later. It turns out

892
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: he's just a delivery driver. And one of the most

893
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: hilarious things to me has got to be the Pima

894
00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 1: County Sheriff saying to the members of the media, please

895
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 1: do not order food and send it to Nancy Guthrie's

896
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: house because it's an active crime scene. These people really

897
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,160
Speaker 1: are but foods. But nothing will shake the media from

898
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 1: covering this story and only this story until Nancy Guthrie

899
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: is found. But the biggest story in America today has

900
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: got to be this Job's report. The top line number

901
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: is very very good, one hundred and thirty thousand jobs

902
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: versus seventy thousand jobs that were expected. But we've had

903
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: blowout jobs reports before. In the Biden administration, though all

904
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: of the net job increases went to foreign born workers.

905
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: It's almost impossible to believe, but the number of American

906
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: born workers actually declined from twenty nineteen until the start

907
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. Today, one hundred percent of the

908
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: net job growth is going to the native born. All

909
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: net job growth and net job losses for the public sector,

910
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 1: most notably the government. What this Job's Report says, if

911
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: you can extrapolate some of the data, there was a

912
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: net loss of forty two thousand government jobs over the

913
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: past month. That's actually kind of remarkable if you extrapolate that.

914
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: And yes, there was a revision from the Bureau of

915
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: Labor Statistics that did revise twenty twenty five's jobs numbers

916
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: significantly down. Now that's just the first revision. There's actually

917
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:55,439
Speaker 1: probably a decent chance that the Labor Department is going

918
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: to find a completely different number, because these things do

919
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 1: vary significantly. But if you extrapolate the net job's losses

920
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: for government, you can actually find that President Trump has

921
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 1: declined the side, decreased the size of the federal government

922
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 1: by one hundred and eleven thousand government jobs in just

923
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: his first year in office. That's actually kind of remarkable.

924
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: Now compare that to President Bill Clinton, who is a

925
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: massive government shrinker, and that people still don't believe this.

926
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 1: Clinton and Gore. Clinton actually put al Gore in charge

927
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: of cutting federal government bloat, and Gore was remarkably good

928
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: at it. Dare I say in the early nineteen nineties,

929
00:59:46,800 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: al Gore was based. During the Clinton administration, there was

930
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: an estimate of two hundred and fifty thousand jobs cut

931
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: in one year. President Trump almost got half of that

932
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: that the Clinton administration gotten about eight That's very significant.

933
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:16,320
Speaker 1: Not only that we are seeing American born workers getting jobs,

934
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: and by the way, a lot of the downward revision

935
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: this is something that nobody else I dare say, is

936
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 1: going to talk about. A lot of the downward revision

937
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 1: is because there's about a million or so people who

938
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 1: are no longer in this country. We actually had net

939
01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 1: negative migration to the United States last year for the

940
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 1: first time in decades. Because of the deportation efforts that

941
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:45,439
Speaker 1: President Trump's administration has undertaken, and because of the fact

942
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 1: that the border is completely sealed, we don't have illegal

943
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: aliens coming into this country in any appreciable numbers. Remember,

944
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: we had anywhere from ten to fifteen million, could have

945
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: been as high as twenty million people come into this

946
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: country and just disappear into the interior. In just four

947
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 1: years of Joe Biden, that stopped, and we've seen hundreds

948
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 1: of thousands of forced deportations as well as even more.

949
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 1: Some estimates put it as twice as many voluntary deportations,

950
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: leading to somewhere in the neighborhood of one point three

951
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: to one point five or one point six million fewer

952
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: people in this country than we're here just a year ago.

953
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 1: What do you think that's going to do to the

954
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: number of jobs created. Do you think that's going to

955
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: increase it, or do you think it's going to decrease

956
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: it so amid that, and amid what just might be

957
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:48,320
Speaker 1: the most significant productivity boom in world history with the

958
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 1: advent of AI. Just like Bill Clinton was the beneficiary

959
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 1: of being president during the dawn of the Internet, so

960
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 1: too is President Trump going to be the beneficiary of

961
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: the dawn of artificial intelligence and advanced robotics and supercomputing.

962
01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: The difference is, while the Internet was able to create

963
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: a whole ton of jobs where you still needed programmers,

964
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: you still needed coders. In fact, you were inventing programming

965
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 1: and coding jobs to keep up with the demand of

966
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 1: Internet companies that were being founded left and right throughout

967
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties. Now the machines, the ais can code themselves.

968
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 1: It's a fascinating article going around on X today about

969
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: how the AI revolution isn't coming it is already here,

970
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 1: and people who are saying, oh, well, AI, it hallucinates

971
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 1: answers when I ask it questions and it doesn't give

972
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: me the right answer. It doesn't. That's AI from six

973
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 1: months ago, AI from today, especially if you are paying

974
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: for it, and folks, I am using both a paid

975
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,400
Speaker 1: version of Grock and a paid version of Chat GPT.

976
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 1: They're incredible. Is it is staggering what these ais can do.

977
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: That's also going to cut jobs. In days gone by,

978
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 1: I might need a full time producer to do research

979
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 1: for me, to help me out to find sound bites

980
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: that we're putting together. Now I have AI do it.

981
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 1: But that's also impacting the jobs numbers. That said, we

982
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: are also seeing staggering increases in the stock market. Unless

983
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 1: you say, well, the stock market isn't the economy. Yes,

984
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,959
Speaker 1: in a very real sense, it is because so many

985
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 1: people at exposure to it through their four to oh

986
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: one ks or other retirement assets. Since President Trump took office,

987
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: the S and P five hundred is up sixteen percent,

988
01:03:55,760 --> 01:04:00,680
Speaker 1: the Dow Jones Industrial Average up fourteen percent, record high

989
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: fifty thousand, the Nasdaq up twenty percent, largely due to

990
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 1: optimism over artificial intelligence. But it's not just that inflation

991
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:18,439
Speaker 1: is down significantly. On inauguration day, the annual CPI rate

992
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: year over year inflation was three point zero percent. Since

993
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: the inauguration, it has averaged two point four percent, down

994
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: seventy percent from the peak under President Biden in twenty

995
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 1: twenty two. Not only that real wages are up one

996
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:39,400
Speaker 1: point four percent. For the first time in years, we

997
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 1: saw in this jobs report that wages are outpacing inflation

998
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: by a significant amount, by one point zero percent. This

999
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: means after four years of people taking pay cuts because

1000
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 1: the amount that they were making, the amount of increases

1001
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: in their pay that they were seeing was not keeping

1002
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: up with how much inflation was eating into their purchasing power.

1003
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: Now under President Trump, they're actually better able to afford things,

1004
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 1: and as a result, prices are going down. This is

1005
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 1: why you hear Democrats screaming about Epstein instead of the

1006
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: price of eggs. The bottom line, Trumpanomics is working, and

1007
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 1: to paraphrase President Trump, it's working bigly.

1008
01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 9: Intelligent discourse The Dan o'donald Show will be right back.

1009
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 1: We're going to get to some pretty incredible crime statistics

1010
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: that just came out today. Murder rates in some of

1011
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 1: the most violent cities in America all going down, except

1012
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 1: Milwaukee in twenty twenty five, which managed to be one

1013
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 1: of the few to actually have an increase in the

1014
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: murder rate. Way to go, may Or Chevy. We'll get

1015
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: to that in just a second, but let's have some fun.

1016
01:05:57,840 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 1: We didn't get to this in the three o'clock hour

1017
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 1: us to it. Now time to name the unhinged liberals

1018
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: we are in pre Nazi Germany. Coffer is dangerous because

1019
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: he's evil America. Today's unhinged liberal of the day is

1020
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: Democrat Congresswoman Becca Ballant, who got so bent out of

1021
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: shape over Pam Bondi, the Attorney General giving it right

1022
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 1: back to her as she is going at Bondi for

1023
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 1: the Epstein files that she actually freaked out and walked

1024
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: out of the hearing room in the House Judiciary Committee

1025
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: hearing today.

1026
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 7: Nas Merit Garland anything about Epstein, not once when he

1027
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 7: was and also weak the record to reflect that, you know,

1028
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 7: with this anti Semitic culture right now, she voted against

1029
01:06:57,720 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 7: a resolution contempt condemn me.

1030
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: Oh you want to go there, Attorney General? Do you

1031
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 1: want to go there? Are you talking about a woman

1032
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: who lost her grandfather.

1033
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 11: In the Ho Kong.

1034
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 1: Committee?

1035
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 8: Talk to Jared Wise about anti Semitism.

1036
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 1: At that point she walks out. She's walking out of

1037
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:30,439
Speaker 1: you know, Oh, my goodness, too funny. Now, in case

1038
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 1: you're wondering, In case you're wondering if that name Becca

1039
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Balance sounds familiar, you're thinking to yourself, Dan it feels

1040
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: like you have made fun of Becca Ballance before, and

1041
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: you are right, dear and loyal listener. I have had

1042
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot of fun at congress Woman Balance defense

1043
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: because she said, and I quote, if we deport illegals,

1044
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: there will be no one there to wipe our butts.

1045
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: We don't have.

1046
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 6: Adam for people to come here needly to work when

1047
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 6: the bills are home here. I'm gonna be in the

1048
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 6: truth right now. We're not gonna have anybody around and

1049
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 6: wipe our asses because we don't have enough people.

1050
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 1: Wait, what, who is wiping Congresswoman back?

1051
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 11: Now?

1052
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: I know why she ran out of that hearing room today.

1053
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: She was looking for Jose to clean her up. Becca Balanced,

1054
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:34,639
Speaker 1: your unhinged liberal of the day. She really did say

1055
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:37,719
Speaker 1: that in a town hall meeting over the summer. And yes,

1056
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:43,680
Speaker 1: we had a whole lot of fun with that. New

1057
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: stats today, massive, massive plummeting violent crime rates in pretty

1058
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:57,600
Speaker 1: much all major cities, with the exception of pretty much Milwaukee.

1059
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:02,720
Speaker 1: You think I'm kidding. Orlando, Florida, which you would not

1060
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 1: think as a murder capital of the United States, it

1061
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: actually is a very dangerous place. You get outside of

1062
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 1: Walt Disney World and the other resorts there, and the

1063
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: inner city of Orlando is typically pretty violent. It saw

1064
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 1: a fifty eight percent decline in the homicide rate from

1065
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four to twenty twenty five. Tampa, Florida fifty

1066
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 1: three percent, Denver forty seven percent, Prince George's County, Maryland

1067
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: forty one percent, Seattle thirty six percent, Baltimore thirty one percent.

1068
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 1: How about this, Washington, d C. Thirty two percent. Now, Washington,

1069
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:46,759
Speaker 1: d C. Was the only city that had a massive

1070
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:51,720
Speaker 1: troop surge, a federal show of force, because obviously Congress

1071
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: retains ultimate control over the nation's capital, and Congress is

1072
01:09:56,479 --> 01:10:03,759
Speaker 1: able to decree a federal essentially surge in federal troops.

1073
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 1: The President is able to simply do this and only

1074
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 1: inform Congress. And it was so effective that even the

1075
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: Democrat mayor Muriel Bowser paid lip service towards resisting it,

1076
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 1: but then realized, Yeah, this is actually going pretty good.

1077
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: It's making me look really good. Murder rate went down

1078
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: thirty two percent. The only city that saw federal troops

1079
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: surge was DC. What accounts for the big one year

1080
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 1: change in all of these major cities? Could it have

1081
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: something to do with another type of surge, maybe say

1082
01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: of ICE agents. Maybe I don't know, getting out hundreds

1083
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:54,679
Speaker 1: of thousands of people who commit violent crimes in all

1084
01:10:54,760 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 1: of these cities, because fundamentally that is the only national shift.

1085
01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: There was no major crime bill like we saw in

1086
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 1: the mid nineteen nineties. There were no three strikes in

1087
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 1: your out policies like we saw enacted in multiple jurisdictions

1088
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 1: back then. The only major policy change was deporting violent criminals.

1089
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 1: This is yet more proof that it is worked beyond

1090
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,839
Speaker 1: anyone's wildest dream. So what do we get today from Milwaukee,

1091
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,240
Speaker 1: one of the few cities that didn't see a big

1092
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 1: propit crime resistance to ICE? Go figure. Welcome back to

1093
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donnald Show. Coming up after the top of

1094
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 1: the hour. Everyone is writing off Republicans holding the Senate

1095
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty six midterm elections. But what if

1096
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: Democrats path to winning a majority, even with just a

1097
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:54,839
Speaker 1: handful of races that they need to win, is actually

1098
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 1: much tougher than anyone thinks. We are going to dive

1099
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,440
Speaker 1: into the numbers. It is a Dan O'Donnell's show exclusive

1100
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 1: that you are not going to want to miss now.

1101
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: Normally here, folks, we do the unsung Hero of the Day.

1102
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 1: And I actually had something planned that we're gonna scrap

1103
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 1: because I want to save this for next hour, and

1104
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say it was gonna be James Vanderbeek

1105
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: because of him speaking out about the need to get colonoscopies.

1106
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:31,760
Speaker 1: He died today of colorectal cancer. Well, during one of

1107
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: the commercial breaks this hour, I was just scrolling on

1108
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: X and I happened to see a three minute video

1109
01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: that he put together about who he is and how

1110
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:47,440
Speaker 1: he defined himself coming to grips with his own mortality.

1111
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: The man had six children and had to come face

1112
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 1: to face with the fact that he was very likely

1113
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: going to die at just forty seven forty eight years old.

1114
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 1: Forty eight forty eight years old. It is one of

1115
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 1: the most incredible things that I have seen in a

1116
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:09,639
Speaker 1: long time, and I want to share it with you.

1117
01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 1: So I guess, yeah, we're gonna name James Vanderbeek as

1118
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:19,640
Speaker 1: the unsung Hero of the day. But folks, just brace yourselves,

1119
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: especially if you watched the show Dawson's Creek when you

1120
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 1: were growing up as I did, and really sort of

1121
01:13:26,040 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 1: had a connection to the actor who just seemed like

1122
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: a very decent, good guy. Little known fact he starred

1123
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 1: in the movie Varsity Blues, where he played a backup quarterback.

1124
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 1: John Voight was his dad or the coach, or he

1125
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,719
Speaker 1: was the coach. The dad was another famous actor actually,

1126
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:48,760
Speaker 1: and he gets thrust into action. Do you know why

1127
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: he wore the number four in that movie? Why his

1128
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 1: character John Moxon wore four. It's because he was a

1129
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 1: massive fan of the Green Bay Packers and it was

1130
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:03,040
Speaker 1: a tribute to Brett Farv who also paid tribute today

1131
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 1: on X to his fallen friend. We are going to

1132
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: get into that also, we are going to talk with

1133
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:13,760
Speaker 1: Mike Roberts, who is just an incredibly impressive guy. He

1134
01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 1: is running for the state Senate as a Republican in

1135
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: the district that is being vacated by Rob Hutton. Democrats

1136
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:25,599
Speaker 1: are freaking out a little bit because they thought Robin

1137
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 1: Fining had an easy path to the Senate the far

1138
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: left lib in a district that they Jerry Mander just

1139
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:37,560
Speaker 1: for her. Well, Mike Roberts is changing the script and

1140
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: changing the narrative on this. We will talk to him,

1141
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 1: but coming up right after the top of the hour News.

1142
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 1: It is a Dan O'Donnell show exclusive why it won't

1143
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 1: be as easy as Democrats think for them to retake

1144
01:14:50,280 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: the State Senate. Stay tuned. You know what is really

1145
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 1: filling me with a lot of joy today the fact

1146
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: that it is now five oh six and it's not

1147
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:12,240
Speaker 1: pitch black out. We've had about a month and a

1148
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: half of longer and longer days right before Christmas. Man,

1149
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, I love Christmas. I do favorite time of

1150
01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:26,600
Speaker 1: the year. But since I started working in the afternoon,

1151
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 1: Man oh man, is it depressing that it gets dark

1152
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 1: at about four fifteen and then I'm on the air

1153
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 1: for another two hours and it feels like it's about

1154
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:38,040
Speaker 1: midnight when I finally walk out of here, I'm usually

1155
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 1: out by I don't know, I'm invariably outside of the

1156
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:45,600
Speaker 1: cleaning crew, the last person in the building. Because you know,

1157
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 1: I'll post the podcast, We'll we'll cut up some video

1158
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:51,759
Speaker 1: and audio clips from this show. I'll get some stuff

1159
01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:56,639
Speaker 1: ready for tomorrow, and I cannot wait. It's probably gonna

1160
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,880
Speaker 1: be i'd say, another month or so, and then obviously

1161
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 1: daylight savings times begins and I'll be able to walk

1162
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 1: out of here and it's still going to be light out.

1163
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 8: I am.

1164
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm already looking forward to the summer solstice when it's

1165
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:14,559
Speaker 1: what nine nine twenty five, when the sun finally sets.

1166
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it. Cold hard cash contest word this hour, gold, gold, Gold.

1167
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 1: You have got until fifty five past this hour. That

1168
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 1: is five fifty five for those of you in Rio Linda,

1169
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 1: or I guess west allis five fifty five. You go

1170
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:34,760
Speaker 1: to the website. You got until that to go to

1171
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: the website and enter the key word gold. We did

1172
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 1: a whole bit on this show. I think we put

1173
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:42,720
Speaker 1: it to a vote. What was going what should be

1174
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 1: the real Linda? The late great Rush Limba always said

1175
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:49,600
Speaker 1: for those of you in Real Linda, and it was

1176
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:51,720
Speaker 1: because he realized when he was doing a show in

1177
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:55,600
Speaker 1: Sacramento that the people in Rio Linda always had the

1178
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 1: absolute worst, dumbest calls. I thought, okay, here in Wisconsin,

1179
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:02,639
Speaker 1: what would it. We thought the three big contenders were

1180
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:07,280
Speaker 1: west Allas, Sheboygan, and cut A Hay. No disrespect to

1181
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,600
Speaker 1: any of those, but I think west Allis won in

1182
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 1: a landslide. Producer, Doug, what would you say out of those?

1183
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:19,479
Speaker 1: What would be the Wisconsin Rio Linda? Shabag Dad, he says,

1184
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 1: is a strong contender, but we got to go with

1185
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 1: West Alika.

1186
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 8: Right.

1187
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 1: My family, my mom's side of the family, is all

1188
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 1: from West Alice, so I feel I feel like I

1189
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: can make West Dallas jokes, and frankly, I can probably

1190
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 1: count on one hand the number of times I've been

1191
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 1: in Sheboygan and really spent a lot of time there.

1192
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:43,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's a wonderful you know. I think I

1193
01:17:43,240 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 1: went to Brock Days one year when I was much

1194
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:50,280
Speaker 1: much younger. So the word is gold for those of

1195
01:17:50,320 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 1: you in Sheboygan, West Alice, cut A Hay, or all

1196
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: of the other great communities that we call home here

1197

1205
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: the stories that we are following. Today the House very

1206
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:34,040
Speaker 1: narrowly passing the Save Act, which would require both voter

1207
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 1: ID and proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections

1208
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 1: two sixteen to two fifteen. It now moves on to

1209
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 1: the Senate. Jordan Stolt's Quoscum native, just twenty one years old,

1210
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,760
Speaker 1: winning gold and setting a new Olympic record in the

1211
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 1: one thousand meter speed skating race today. His win the

1212
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 1: single biggest margin of victory in the Olympic one thousand

1213
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 1: since nineteen teen eighty four. It's kind of amazing. Stoltz

1214
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 1: will also compete for three more gold medals, the five hundred,

1215
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: the fifteen hundred, and the mass start. Is that what

1216
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm I think it is where everybody just starts at

1217
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 1: the same time, because that seems like it would be awesome.

1218
01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:20,719
Speaker 1: It's sort of like Roller Derby on ice. President Trump

1219
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:24,160
Speaker 1: today met with is rightly Prime Minister Benjamin nettin Yahoo

1220
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 1: at the White House. The President posted on truth social

1221
01:19:27,640 --> 01:19:34,320
Speaker 1: that he insisted negotiations with Iran continue. His Attorney General

1222
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 1: Pam Bondi, testifying before the House Judiciary Committee today.

1223
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:41,439
Speaker 7: Twenty twenty five, we saw the lowest murder rate in

1224
01:19:41,479 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 7: one hundred and twenty five years. That's nothing short of historic.

1225
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:51,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Meanwhile, here at home state, Senate Republicans are proposing

1226
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:56,679
Speaker 1: a massive income tax rebate. All Wisconsin taxpayers would get

1227
01:19:56,760 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: either a five hundred or one thousand dollar rebate that

1228
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,600
Speaker 1: will spend roughly one point six billion dollars of a

1229
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 1: projected two point four to two point five billion dollar

1230
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 1: surplus on tax relief. Much more on that coming up

1231
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 1: in just a second. Finally, sad news to report every

1232
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:27,759
Speaker 1: nineties kid will feel this one. James Vanderbeek, the star

1233
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 1: of Dawson's Creek, has passed away at the age of

1234
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 1: forty eight after a multi year battle with colorectal cancer.

1235
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: He also starred in films like Varsity Blues and had

1236
01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 1: been battling cancer for at least three years. He leaves

1237
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 1: behind a wife and six children. Coming up later this hour.

1238
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:53,839
Speaker 1: He filmed a remarkable video on his birthday, which actually

1239
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 1: turned out to be his final birthday, in which he

1240
01:20:57,400 --> 01:21:01,559
Speaker 1: talked about what defines him and what defines all of us.

1241
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: And it is so good, it is so powerful, it

1242
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:08,840
Speaker 1: is so haunting that I am going to play it

1243
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: for you. Coming up in about a half hour right

1244
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: now though a little bit of levity here. All four

1245
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 1: state legislative leaders Senate and Assembly leaders for Republicans and

1246
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 1: the Democrats Senate Minority leader, Assembly minority leader. They were

1247
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 1: all at an event today in Madison. They were all

1248
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:38,200
Speaker 1: talking about the legislative session the upcoming election, and the

1249
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 1: moderator of the event, aj Byatpoor, asked Robin Voss, the

1250
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: Assembly speaker, about the twenty twenty six election and the

1251
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 1: crowded Democrat primary. Voss absolutely killed it. Hilarious answer and

1252
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: an even more hilarious interaction with the Senate Minority Leader

1253
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 1: Diane Hesselbein and the Assembly Minority Leader Greta Nubauer, who

1254
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 1: tried to deny against all available evidence that Democrats forced

1255
01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:16,720
Speaker 1: every other candidate besides Mandela Barnes to get out of

1256
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 1: the race right before the primary election.

1257
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:21,040
Speaker 12: I have a theory that I think that most of

1258
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 12: the people who are running will also be swept away

1259
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:25,960
Speaker 12: by the big wigs in the Democratic Party, where they say, look,

1260
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:28,000
Speaker 12: we need to focus on one person to be able

1261
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:29,600
Speaker 12: to win for the governor's race. They did it in

1262
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 12: twenty twenty two. I don't know why they wouldn't do

1263
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 12: it this time, so we'll see. But it's going to

1264
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 12: be a competitive race. We live in a purple state.

1265
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 12: It'll probably be decided by twenty or thirty thousand votes,

1266
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:41,040
Speaker 12: like most elections have been. And that's why the person

1267
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 12: in my mind who focuses most on improving people's lives

1268
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:47,679
Speaker 12: in Wisconsin, not just criticizing other people all the time,

1269
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:48,760
Speaker 12: will be victorious.

1270
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:51,680
Speaker 6: Do you want to respond to that so much?

1271
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 11: There?

1272
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:56,720
Speaker 12: No, I would say what happened in the primary with

1273
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 12: us Sunate.

1274
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 5: Is the two other people chose to get out that way,

1275
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 5: not the Democratic Party putting their thumb on a scale.

1276
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:03,679
Speaker 6: It was not you can talk to them.

1277
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:07,360
Speaker 1: Just prop yeah, yeah, they could. They could. They would

1278
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 1: tell you that, yes, that's exactly.

1279
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:11,080
Speaker 12: They spend millions of dollars and then just at the end,

1280
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:14,600
Speaker 12: I'm out. I think they realized they they were not

1281
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 12: going to be successful and they saw their own coming.

1282
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: So that's foe. You could hear people laughing, that's fus Yeah, sure, okay, Diane, Okay, Greta.

1283
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 1: It's remarkable this. I could do an entire topic just

1284
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 1: on this. How Democrats will just lie to your face.

1285
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,639
Speaker 1: They are just liars. I can prove that they were

1286
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 1: forced out. The voting was already going on. Mail in

1287
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:47,639
Speaker 1: ballots were already sent out in person absentee voting had

1288
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 1: just gotten underway, and and they Alex Lazary just drops out,

1289
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: Sarah god Lusky just drops out, And a couple of

1290
01:23:56,080 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 1: months later, Governor Evers just happens to reward her the

1291
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:03,320
Speaker 1: position of Secretary of State after Douglas Follock gets himself

1292
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,720
Speaker 1: re elected and then retires within the span of just

1293
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 1: a couple of days, to quote Assembly Speaker boss Sure.

1294
01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 1: State Senate leaders today unveiling a bill that would provide

1295
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:21,800
Speaker 1: a one time rebate to taxpayers who filed an individual

1296
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:26,519
Speaker 1: income tax return for tax year twenty twenty four and

1297
01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:31,559
Speaker 1: owed tax for that year. Rebate one thousand dollars for

1298
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 1: married persons filing jointly, and five hundred dollars for all

1299
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 1: other individuals. The rebate payment may not exceed the amount

1300
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:44,720
Speaker 1: of the taxpayers twenty twenty four net income tax liability.

1301
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:48,080
Speaker 1: This will cost an estimated one point six billion dollars,

1302
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 1: but according to a new Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimate just

1303
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, the state is projected to

1304
01:24:56,520 --> 01:25:00,439
Speaker 1: have a two point five billion dollar budget surplus by

1305
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:03,760
Speaker 1: the end of the current budget cycle in June of

1306
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:08,559
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. This, to me, is a much better

1307
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 1: idea than attempting to provide property tax relief to help

1308
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:17,519
Speaker 1: Governor Evers out from under his own mess. Democrats all

1309
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: supported the four hundred year veto, and Assembly Speaker Voss

1310
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 1: yesterday intimated that he would be open to a deal

1311
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:30,919
Speaker 1: on property tax relief that does not include Governor Evers

1312
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: rescinding that property tax veto. Why would we do anything

1313
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:42,040
Speaker 1: on the single biggest liability that Democrats have this election cycle,

1314
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: the fact that everyone's property taxes exploded because the governor,

1315
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:52,440
Speaker 1: with the clapping seals in his party all behind him,

1316
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 1: did one of the worst Frankenstein vetos, one of the

1317
01:25:56,520 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 1: most unconstitutional vetos in the history of this state, to

1318
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 1: increase the potential tax purt in every single year for

1319
01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:09,160
Speaker 1: the next four centuries by two hundred and seventy nine

1320
01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 1: million dollars per year. Okay, exclusive analysis here now on

1321
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell show. Right now, the GOP has an

1322
01:26:21,840 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: eighteen to fifteen majority in the Senate. Every single odd

1323
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:31,840
Speaker 1: numbered Senate district is up this year. The way they

1324
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 1: do it out of the thirty three seats. Is that

1325
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:40,800
Speaker 1: even districts are up in one cycle that was two

1326
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 1: years ago, odd numbered districts are up in this cycle.

1327
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:49,759
Speaker 1: Of the seventeen seats that are up in twenty twenty six,

1328
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:57,440
Speaker 1: about four are competitive. The overwhelming sentiment is that Democrats

1329
01:26:57,439 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 1: are just going to sweep. That there's no check dants

1330
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 1: that Republicans are going to take the Senate. Sure, they

1331
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:08,719
Speaker 1: may hold on by a razor thin margin in the Assembly,

1332
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:11,280
Speaker 1: but thanks to the jerry mandering done by the State

1333
01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 1: Supreme Court as well as Governor Evers, there's going to

1334
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 1: be no chance for Republicans to hold the Senate. It

1335
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 1: is my very strong suspicion that the conventional wisdom here

1336
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:32,400
Speaker 1: is wrong. In Senate District five, this is Brookfield Wa

1337
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 1: Wa Tosa. It was redrawn to include parts of Milwaukee.

1338
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 1: The current incumbent, Rob Hutton announced a couple of weeks

1339
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 1: ago that he's not going to seek reelection because he

1340
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:47,280
Speaker 1: did not think he would be able to win against

1341
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:51,679
Speaker 1: Robin Vining because this district was drawn specifically for her.

1342
01:27:52,439 --> 01:27:54,679
Speaker 1: There is a brand new candidate, though, who we're going

1343
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:56,679
Speaker 1: to talk to in just a couple of minutes. Doctor

1344
01:27:56,840 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 1: Mike Roberts Kamala har in twenty twenty four won this

1345
01:28:02,280 --> 01:28:07,200
Speaker 1: Senate district with fifty two percent of the votes. That's

1346
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 1: about six thousand raw votes. But the real story is

1347
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:16,920
Speaker 1: actually how the down ballot performed, especially the three Assembly

1348
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:20,599
Speaker 1: seats that make up the Senate district. Each Senate district

1349
01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:23,519
Speaker 1: has three Assembly districts within it, for a total of

1350
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:28,200
Speaker 1: ninety nine Assembly districts. The Democrat candidates in those assembly

1351
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 1: districts combined for fifty three thousand, seven hundred and seventy

1352
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:39,080
Speaker 1: five votes, GOP candidates combined for fifty two thousand, two

1353
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five votes, and there was an independent

1354
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 1: candidate in one of the races that got about eleven

1355
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:49,600
Speaker 1: hundred votes. That means there was a difference of just

1356
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:54,440
Speaker 1: fifteen hundred votes between down ballot Republicans and down ballot Democrats,

1357
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:58,040
Speaker 1: with an additional eleven hundred up for grabs that went

1358
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: for the independent. Regardless of what Democrats are saying, it

1359
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 1: is my very strong belief that this seat is absolutely

1360
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 1: wide open. The congressional races in both districts combining for

1361
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:19,680
Speaker 1: a fifty to fifty split of dem candidates versus GOP

1362
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:25,920
Speaker 1: candidates in those congressional races. This is actually kind of

1363
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:32,639
Speaker 1: a very close district. How About Senate District seventeen. Howard

1364
01:29:32,760 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: Markeline has been considered very vulnerable pretty much since Howard

1365
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:41,599
Speaker 1: Markeline entered the Senate. Kamala Harris again won this district,

1366
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:45,519
Speaker 1: but it was much narrower, and again in the down

1367
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:49,639
Speaker 1: ballot votes in those three assembly districts, one of which

1368
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:55,879
Speaker 1: held by Todd Novak, it's considered heavily democratic. Todd Novak

1369
01:29:56,120 --> 01:30:00,560
Speaker 1: continues to win it, meaning that there are legit legitimate

1370
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:04,200
Speaker 1: ticket splitters that have a tendency in some of these

1371
01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:10,040
Speaker 1: Harris by one Harris by two districts tend to break Republican.

1372
01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:15,759
Speaker 1: Mark Aline is easily the best fundraiser in the state Senate,

1373
01:30:16,160 --> 01:30:19,960
Speaker 1: and in his district he is very widely known. Everybody

1374
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 1: knows who Howard is. Now. Combine this with the fact

1375
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:30,200
Speaker 1: that GOP candidates dominated in that district in those assembly

1376
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:33,759
Speaker 1: races fifty three thousand total votes to forty eight thousand.

1377
01:30:33,920 --> 01:30:38,040
Speaker 1: Again in a district that Kamala won, Markoline is a

1378
01:30:38,160 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 1: very very good chance of keeping that seat, even though

1379
01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:44,920
Speaker 1: he is going to be Democrats number one target. It

1380
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:49,560
Speaker 1: is going to take just an unbelievable effort to unseat him.

1381
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:55,440
Speaker 1: Senate District twenty one sees the current incumbent Van Wanguard

1382
01:30:56,120 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 1: also competing in a Kamala Harris district, one that she

1383
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 1: again very narrowly won, but again one that two years ago,

1384
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 1: the three GOP Assembly candidates defeated their dem counterparts in

1385
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:17,040
Speaker 1: raw vote totals. GOP candidates won nine thousand more raw

1386
01:31:17,160 --> 01:31:20,920
Speaker 1: votes than the three Democrat candidates, forty four thousand to

1387
01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:25,000
Speaker 1: thirty five thousand. Now, this was a unique situation. One

1388
01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:27,680
Speaker 1: seat was left unopposed with a dem winning, and one

1389
01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 1: left unopposed with a Republican winning. But still the math

1390
01:31:32,479 --> 01:31:38,280
Speaker 1: is there. There's also a Democrat seat that they're going

1391
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 1: to be defending. Senate District thirty one, the current incumbent

1392
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:49,839
Speaker 1: Jeff Smith is going to go against another incumbent State Senator,

1393
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:54,479
Speaker 1: Jesse James. He was drawn into this district and he

1394
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 1: nearly lost. Smith did to a very underfunded candidate by

1395
01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:03,840
Speaker 1: the name of Dave Estenson, who was engulfed in scandal

1396
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 1: four years ago. Smith only won by seven hundred votes.

1397
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:11,479
Speaker 1: He's also been defeated in this district, losing three Assembly

1398
01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:15,040
Speaker 1: races in a row twenty ten, twenty twelve, and twenty fourteen.

1399
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:18,360
Speaker 1: He has a tendency to sweek by for reelection, and

1400
01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:22,040
Speaker 1: Democrat Assembly candidates had just a narrow advantage in twenty

1401
01:32:22,080 --> 01:32:27,040
Speaker 1: twenty four winning fifty one thousand to fifty thousand, barely

1402
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:33,479
Speaker 1: a one hundred vote advantage for the Democrats. Meanwhile, Jesse

1403
01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:38,599
Speaker 1: James is very very popular in district, works very hard,

1404
01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:42,880
Speaker 1: and is the legislature's only active member of law enforcement.

1405
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:47,400
Speaker 1: Do you think that's going to play well in an

1406
01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 1: election that may well be dominated by liberal radicalism on ice.

1407
01:32:53,760 --> 01:32:57,280
Speaker 1: In order for Democrats to take the majority, they need

1408
01:32:57,320 --> 01:33:04,120
Speaker 1: to win three of the four comitive races in order

1409
01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:09,559
Speaker 1: to just get a one vote majority. Howard mark Line

1410
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:12,599
Speaker 1: is very likely to win reelection even in a big

1411
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:16,240
Speaker 1: Democrat year. He's done it before. Democrats would have to

1412
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:20,760
Speaker 1: run the table on the other three races. How likely

1413
01:33:20,880 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 1: is that it may be Jeff Smith may win reelection

1414
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:28,800
Speaker 1: against a very strong challenger in Jesse James, who is

1415
01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:33,040
Speaker 1: also in the Senate. There's no indication that Van Wangaard

1416
01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:36,080
Speaker 1: is even going to run again. He's sent signals that

1417
01:33:36,160 --> 01:33:41,360
Speaker 1: he might retire and in Senate District five. Doctor Mike

1418
01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:48,600
Speaker 1: Roberts is relative unknown. Democrats may run the table, but

1419
01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot harder than a lot

1420
01:33:51,280 --> 01:33:55,680
Speaker 1: of people think. Doctor Mike Roberts is an unknown, so

1421
01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:58,160
Speaker 1: let's get to know him. He's going to join us

1422
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 1: live on the phone. Coming up next here on The

1423
01:34:01,120 --> 01:34:13,439
Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show. Welcome back to the Dan o'donald Show.

1424
01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:18,799
Speaker 1: Conservative thought, not just talk. We don't accept conventional wisdom

1425
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 1: on this program. We actually dive deep into the numbers.

1426
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:28,720
Speaker 1: And I don't think that it's fata complee for Democrats

1427
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:31,360
Speaker 1: to win the Senate, not if my next guest has

1428
01:34:31,400 --> 01:34:34,800
Speaker 1: anything to say about it. He is running as a

1429
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:39,000
Speaker 1: Republican in Senate District five. After the retirement announcement of

1430
01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 1: Senator Rob Hutton. He stepped up. He is a very

1431
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:46,000
Speaker 1: very impressive guy, and I am so pleased to introduce

1432
01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 1: doctor Mike Roberts. Mike, Welcome to the Dan o'donald Show.

1433
01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:51,360
Speaker 1: How you doing this evening?

1434
01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:53,880
Speaker 4: I'm doing great. Thank you so much for having me.

1435
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:56,400
Speaker 1: So why did you decide to get in this race?

1436
01:34:56,439 --> 01:34:56,599
Speaker 8: Sir?

1437
01:34:58,160 --> 01:35:02,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I born in District five, I was raised here.

1438
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:05,839
Speaker 4: I built my business here, and I'm a seventh generation

1439
01:35:05,920 --> 01:35:09,000
Speaker 4: Wisconsin and I running to Verse represent the district that

1440
01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:12,360
Speaker 4: I loved and I've spent my entire life and you know,

1441
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:17,840
Speaker 4: I earned my undergraduate and doctorate degrees at Carroll University,

1442
01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:20,120
Speaker 4: and I started my career as a physical therapist in

1443
01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:24,479
Speaker 4: Wall with Tosa, and early on I found out how

1444
01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:28,439
Speaker 4: broken the healthcare system is. I was expected to see

1445
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:32,200
Speaker 4: twenty to thirty patients a day, which anyone that knows

1446
01:35:32,240 --> 01:35:35,840
Speaker 4: physical therapy, that's a lot. And my record in one

1447
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:40,959
Speaker 4: day was actually sixty nine patients, which my own percis

1448
01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:42,519
Speaker 4: on staff.

1449
01:35:42,520 --> 01:35:44,519
Speaker 1: Did you see each of them for two minutes? How

1450
01:35:44,520 --> 01:35:45,200
Speaker 1: did that work?

1451
01:35:46,120 --> 01:35:46,439
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1452
01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 8: It was.

1453
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:49,800
Speaker 4: It was something else. They're not in business anymore.

1454
01:35:49,520 --> 01:35:52,840
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, would I would imagine with that client load.

1455
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:55,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. But you know, because of that, I

1456
01:35:55,600 --> 01:36:01,120
Speaker 4: quickly realized early on that the healthcare system rewarded volume quality. So,

1457
01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:04,160
Speaker 4: you know, instead of complaining about it, I fixed it.

1458
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:06,840
Speaker 4: I started my own physical therapy practice and Wall with

1459
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:09,960
Speaker 4: Toosa out of a small two hundred square foot room,

1460
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:12,919
Speaker 4: and I built it from the ground up. We've expanded

1461
01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:15,320
Speaker 4: into the Lake country and we're operating out of nearly

1462
01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:19,320
Speaker 4: thirteen thousand square feet now and repeatedly being recognized as

1463
01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:22,719
Speaker 4: the best physical therapy practice in Milwaukee for ten straight years.

1464
01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:26,000
Speaker 4: So you know, the reason at worked is simple. We

1465
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:29,840
Speaker 4: listen first, We use evidence based practice, We fix root

1466
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:32,880
Speaker 4: problems instead of treating symptoms. And I'm running for State

1467
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:35,760
Speaker 4: Center for the same reasons. You know, families, they're doing

1468
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:39,519
Speaker 4: everything right and still falling behind. And when you actually listen,

1469
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:42,160
Speaker 4: and that's what we do. For a living, cost of living,

1470
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 4: public safety, health care, education, the same issues keep coming

1471
01:36:47,200 --> 01:36:50,000
Speaker 4: up over and over again for my patients, from friends,

1472
01:36:50,040 --> 01:36:54,080
Speaker 4: from family, from coworkers, you name it, and Wisconsin deserves better.

1473
01:36:54,200 --> 01:36:57,040
Speaker 4: And voters they're tired of the lack of outcomes and

1474
01:36:57,040 --> 01:37:00,160
Speaker 4: accountability in our state government. You know, they want steady,

1475
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:04,719
Speaker 4: practical leadership focused on those four issues and more importantly,

1476
01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:07,360
Speaker 4: solutions that actually work. So you know, I'm a strong

1477
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:09,400
Speaker 4: believer in the American dream and I want to be

1478
01:37:09,479 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 4: able to pass that great opportunity and responsibility onto my

1479
01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:16,559
Speaker 4: children who are eighth generation Wisconsinights and some day their

1480
01:37:16,600 --> 01:37:18,519
Speaker 4: own children. So you know, I see a system that

1481
01:37:18,560 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 4: isn't working the way it should, So I'm stepping up

1482
01:37:20,920 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 4: to fix it, and.

1483
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:24,040
Speaker 1: We are certainly glad that you're doing so. But you're

1484
01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:28,640
Speaker 1: stepping into a district that was hand drawn literally for

1485
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:32,480
Speaker 1: your opponent to try to draw some of her strongest

1486
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 1: supporters into it. You're also running in what figures to

1487
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:41,040
Speaker 1: be a pretty big Democrat year. You said yourself, your

1488
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:44,040
Speaker 1: practice is in Wawa, Tosa, Mike, So you got to

1489
01:37:44,200 --> 01:37:48,040
Speaker 1: know how far left some of these people are. How

1490
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:51,800
Speaker 1: do you plan to win them over? Or in the alternative,

1491
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:57,320
Speaker 1: get enough independent thinking Democrats in that district to say, hey,

1492
01:37:57,320 --> 01:37:59,599
Speaker 1: the Democrats of today have just gone nuts.

1493
01:38:01,760 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 4: So, you know, here's the thing. By focusing on what

1494
01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:07,080
Speaker 4: actually moves voters out here, Like I said, the cost

1495
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:11,360
Speaker 4: of living, public safety, are children's education, and healthcare that works.

1496
01:38:11,520 --> 01:38:15,040
Speaker 4: You know, the voters in this district, they're very independent minded.

1497
01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:17,160
Speaker 4: You know, going back to you you were talking about

1498
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 4: how they're split voters. Yeah, you know, they they're looking

1499
01:38:20,080 --> 01:38:22,559
Speaker 4: at the candidate, not just the letter next to their name.

1500
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 4: So you know, this this district, and I know these

1501
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:27,760
Speaker 4: people because I live in it on one end, you know,

1502
01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 4: in Pewaukee, and then I work in it on the

1503
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 4: other end and wall with Toasa and they respond really

1504
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:35,800
Speaker 4: well to competence, not just talking points or slogans, and

1505
01:38:36,320 --> 01:38:38,960
Speaker 4: we talked to people directly. You know, we stayed disciplined

1506
01:38:39,080 --> 01:38:41,920
Speaker 4: on our message and we earn trust by being specific.

1507
01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 4: That's how we win here. And just like in my

1508
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:49,160
Speaker 4: physical therapy practice, I'll use evidence based solutions and focus

1509
01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:52,360
Speaker 4: on fixing the root causes, not just putting band aids

1510
01:38:52,360 --> 01:38:54,519
Speaker 4: on symptoms like we're seeing in Madison today.

1511
01:38:55,920 --> 01:39:00,240
Speaker 1: So what are some of those solutions, Like, what what's

1512
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:02,879
Speaker 1: the thing that you are going to You said healthcare.

1513
01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:08,679
Speaker 1: Obviously that's your expertise, but let's face it, when running here,

1514
01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 1: you're going to need to run on the economy, on crime, yes,

1515
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 1: on transportation, but on some of the broader state issues. Healthcare,

1516
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,760
Speaker 1: Let's face it isn't that big of an issue. What

1517
01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:24,960
Speaker 1: is going to be your primary pitch to voters, especially

1518
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:30,400
Speaker 1: on the issue of say, sky high property taxes, income

1519
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:33,680
Speaker 1: taxes that are some of the highest in the Midwest.

1520
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:36,160
Speaker 1: We just had a report from our good friends at

1521
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:41,000
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce showing that Wisconsin's population is getting

1522
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:46,120
Speaker 1: older or falling behind. On the economy specifically, what is

1523
01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:48,880
Speaker 1: your message to your constituents?

1524
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:52,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know. And as a perfect example, I

1525
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 4: have one person that I've known for years. She's a

1526
01:39:56,120 --> 01:40:01,000
Speaker 4: lifelong Democrat, and not only is she supporting and donating,

1527
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:03,840
Speaker 4: but also hosting a couple events for us because she

1528
01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 4: believes in the leadership that I that I bring. On

1529
01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:09,799
Speaker 4: top of that, she's also gone through her property taxes

1530
01:40:09,840 --> 01:40:12,040
Speaker 4: going up thirty nine percent in two years. It's gone

1531
01:40:12,080 --> 01:40:14,880
Speaker 4: up three thousand dollars, you know. And here's the thing

1532
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 4: that we're especially in while with Toasted, we're seeing catses

1533
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 4: should be looked at as an investment in our community,

1534
01:40:22,240 --> 01:40:25,479
Speaker 4: and we're not seeing that return on investment. Our communities

1535
01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 4: aren't any safer, our healthcare isn't getting any cheaper, our

1536
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:33,000
Speaker 4: children's educational outcomes aren't any higher. And I'll tell you

1537
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:35,760
Speaker 4: for personal experience, it's not getting any easier to run

1538
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:38,680
Speaker 4: a business. So there has to be accountability for us

1539
01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 4: within our state government because people are looking for better

1540
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:43,080
Speaker 4: outcomes and results.

1541
01:40:43,840 --> 01:40:47,639
Speaker 1: They certainly are. And how about on the issue of crime,

1542
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 1: because your district, as you know, especially while with Tosa,

1543
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:55,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it has gone from one of the idyllic

1544
01:40:55,600 --> 01:40:59,080
Speaker 1: suburbs I dare say in America in the span of

1545
01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:03,799
Speaker 1: what would you say twenty twenty five years to education

1546
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:08,320
Speaker 1: has gone downhill and crime has dramatically increased. I mean,

1547
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:12,240
Speaker 1: I'll give it a Downtown Wahwatosa is gorgeous. It's beautiful,

1548
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:17,679
Speaker 1: but places around there a little sketchy. And we're seeing

1549
01:41:17,720 --> 01:41:21,559
Speaker 1: property crime and violent crime both on the increase, right.

1550
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:25,160
Speaker 4: Yeah. And having my practice in Wallwatulosa for thirteen years now,

1551
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:27,800
Speaker 4: I mean this, if I had enough time, I could

1552
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:30,200
Speaker 4: go through all the stories about you know, I always

1553
01:41:30,240 --> 01:41:32,640
Speaker 4: say it'd be a big deal if one person in

1554
01:41:32,720 --> 01:41:36,120
Speaker 4: my company had their car jack. It's happened multiple times,

1555
01:41:36,280 --> 01:41:38,760
Speaker 4: multiple employees. You know, it's a big deal. You know,

1556
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:43,120
Speaker 4: whether it's our neighbor across the street being zip tied

1557
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:45,720
Speaker 4: and hild at gunpoint. She owned a healthcare practice. You know,

1558
01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:49,360
Speaker 4: we've seen this increase in crime, and I've worked directly

1559
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:51,640
Speaker 4: with all the police departments in the area, and that

1560
01:41:51,680 --> 01:41:55,040
Speaker 4: includes Wawatsa PD, and the common thing that I hear

1561
01:41:55,040 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 4: from all them, they are sick and tired of arresting

1562
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:01,120
Speaker 4: the same people. Because when when you have violent offenders

1563
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:04,200
Speaker 4: with long records being released early or not being even

1564
01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:07,200
Speaker 4: held accountable, the problem just doesn't stay in one zip code,

1565
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:10,360
Speaker 4: and that's what suburban families are seeing now. I mean,

1566
01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:12,760
Speaker 4: we could get into the whole three year recidivism rate

1567
01:42:12,920 --> 01:42:16,599
Speaker 4: in Wisconsin, which is unacceptably high in my opinion, it's

1568
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:19,320
Speaker 4: over thirty eight percent, you know, and then we see

1569
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:22,439
Speaker 4: other states like Virginia that is that have half of that,

1570
01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:26,800
Speaker 4: but they're again implementing strong evidence based re entry and

1571
01:42:26,840 --> 01:42:29,160
Speaker 4: rehab programs and getting to the root issue.

1572
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:33,200
Speaker 1: He is Sene Canada, Doctor Mike Roberts joining me here

1573

1618
01:45:38,560 --> 01:45:51,479
Speaker 1: Kay a very special happy Birthday. Find As we've been

1619
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:56,360
Speaker 1: reporting all afternoon long, the actor James Van Derbeek passed

1620
01:45:56,360 --> 01:46:00,000
Speaker 1: away today from colorectal cancer at the age of four

1621
01:46:00,360 --> 01:46:02,960
Speaker 1: eight years old. Now you might be saying, okay, Dan,

1622
01:46:03,479 --> 01:46:07,240
Speaker 1: you know he wasn't that big of a star. Yeah,

1623
01:46:07,360 --> 01:46:09,880
Speaker 1: you watched his show when you were a kid, when

1624
01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:13,080
Speaker 1: you were a teenager. Dawson's Creek. There's the theme song

1625
01:46:13,160 --> 01:46:15,759
Speaker 1: to Dawson's Creek. In case you wonder why we're playing

1626
01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:18,320
Speaker 1: I Don't Want to Wait by Paula Cole very famously

1627
01:46:18,439 --> 01:46:23,639
Speaker 1: used as the theme song to that mid nineties teen drama,

1628
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:28,280
Speaker 1: And frankly, I only really watched the first season two

1629
01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 1: seasons of Dawson's Creek. I saw the movie Varsity Blues,

1630
01:46:33,080 --> 01:46:35,439
Speaker 1: went with a bunch of friends in high school. It

1631
01:46:35,479 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. But why am I making

1632
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 1: a big deal out of James Vanderbeek because of things

1633
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:48,439
Speaker 1: like this? On his last birthday, which ended up being

1634
01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:55,679
Speaker 1: his last birthday, he reflected on his own mortality, who

1635
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:59,280
Speaker 1: he was, how he was going to be remembered, and

1636
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:06,200
Speaker 1: most importantly, I think how he saw himself in his

1637
01:47:06,479 --> 01:47:11,880
Speaker 1: three minute monologue, I think there is a lesson for

1638
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:13,280
Speaker 1: each and every one of us.

1639
01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:18,000
Speaker 10: Today's my birthday, and it has been the hardest year

1640
01:47:18,160 --> 01:47:21,600
Speaker 10: of my life, and I wanted to share something that

1641
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:25,040
Speaker 10: I learned with y'all. When I was younger, I used

1642
01:47:25,040 --> 01:47:30,320
Speaker 10: to define myself as an actor, right, which was never

1643
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:33,080
Speaker 10: really all that fulfilling. And then it became a husband

1644
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:34,720
Speaker 10: and that was much better. And then it became a

1645
01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:38,200
Speaker 10: father and that was the ultimate. I could define myself

1646
01:47:38,240 --> 01:47:46,680
Speaker 10: then as a loving, capable, strong, supportive husband, father, provider,

1647
01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:48,800
Speaker 10: steward of the land that were so lucky to live on.

1648
01:47:48,960 --> 01:47:51,599
Speaker 10: And for a long time that felt like a really

1649
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:54,800
Speaker 10: good definition to the question who am I? What am I?

1650
01:47:57,080 --> 01:48:01,720
Speaker 10: And then this year I had to look my own

1651
01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:05,080
Speaker 10: mortality in the eye. I had to come nose to

1652
01:48:05,120 --> 01:48:09,720
Speaker 10: nose with death in all of those definitions that I

1653
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:12,360
Speaker 10: cared so deeply about were stripped from me. I was

1654
01:48:12,520 --> 01:48:15,880
Speaker 10: away for treatment, so I could no longer be a

1655
01:48:15,960 --> 01:48:17,920
Speaker 10: husband that was helpful to my wife. I could no

1656
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 10: longer be a father who could pick up his kids

1657
01:48:20,200 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 10: and put them to bed and be there for them.

1658
01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:24,559
Speaker 10: I could not be a provider because I wasn't working.

1659
01:48:25,439 --> 01:48:28,880
Speaker 10: I couldn't even be a steward of a land because

1660
01:48:29,080 --> 01:48:31,720
Speaker 10: at times I was too weak to prune all the

1661
01:48:31,760 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 10: trees during the window that you're supposed to prove them.

1662
01:48:36,080 --> 01:48:37,800
Speaker 10: And so I was faced with the question, if I

1663
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:45,000
Speaker 10: am just a too skinny, weak guy alone in an

1664
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:53,600
Speaker 10: apartment with cancer, what am I? And I meditated and

1665
01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:57,840
Speaker 10: the answer came through, I am worthy of God's love

1666
01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:06,559
Speaker 10: simply because I exist. And if I'm worthy of God's love,

1667
01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:11,479
Speaker 10: shouldn't I also be worthy of my own? And the

1668
01:49:11,520 --> 01:49:14,639
Speaker 10: same is true for you, and as I moved through

1669
01:49:14,640 --> 01:49:18,000
Speaker 10: this healing portal toward recovery, I wanted to share that

1670
01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:20,720
Speaker 10: with you because I think that revelation that came to

1671
01:49:20,760 --> 01:49:22,839
Speaker 10: me was doing no small part to all the prayers

1672
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:25,880
Speaker 10: and the love that had been directed towards me. So

1673
01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:29,080
Speaker 10: I offer that to you. However it sits in your consciousness,

1674
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:32,200
Speaker 10: Whoever it resonates, run with it. And if the word

1675
01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:37,360
Speaker 10: God it trips you up. I certainly don't know. I

1676
01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:39,479
Speaker 10: can't claim to know what God is or explain God.

1677
01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:43,400
Speaker 10: My efforts to connect to God are an ongoing process

1678
01:49:43,479 --> 01:49:47,040
Speaker 10: that is a constant, unfolding mystery to me. But if

1679
01:49:47,080 --> 01:49:48,960
Speaker 10: it's a trigger it feels too religious, you can take

1680
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:50,880
Speaker 10: the word God out and your mantra can simply be

1681
01:49:52,400 --> 01:50:03,439
Speaker 10: I am worthy of love because you are. Thank you

1682
01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:06,080
Speaker 10: for the looking prayers. Everyone, have a bless day.

1683
01:50:07,840 --> 01:50:13,479
Speaker 1: Remarkable reflection from James Vanderbeek, who passed away today at

1684
01:50:13,520 --> 01:50:27,280
Speaker 1: the age of forty eight. Rest in peace. Bet you

1685
01:50:27,479 --> 01:50:29,960
Speaker 1: didn't think you would get something that deep from a

1686
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:35,640
Speaker 1: nineties teen heart throb, did you? James Vanderbeek, on what

1687
01:50:35,760 --> 01:50:38,680
Speaker 1: turned out to be his final birthday, we played his

1688
01:50:38,920 --> 01:50:42,599
Speaker 1: entire message that I just happened to stumble across during

1689
01:50:42,600 --> 01:50:45,639
Speaker 1: a commercial break, Ladies and gentlemen, I am always working

1690
01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:49,839
Speaker 1: on show content, even when I probably should be grabbing

1691
01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:52,720
Speaker 1: a drink of water or maybe running to the bathroom.

1692
01:50:54,200 --> 01:50:58,360
Speaker 1: It was just a powerful message. We all, every one

1693
01:50:58,439 --> 01:51:03,479
Speaker 1: of us, is worthy of God's love, even when we're

1694
01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:07,040
Speaker 1: at our lowest, even when we think that our life

1695
01:51:07,080 --> 01:51:11,000
Speaker 1: is over, even when we think we couldn't possibly be

1696
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:17,680
Speaker 1: worthy of anything from anybody, It is always worth remembering

1697
01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 1: that God loves us, that we are beautifully made in

1698
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:27,160
Speaker 1: his own image, that even before, long before we ever

1699
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:31,000
Speaker 1: grace this earth, he knew us, and he loved us then,

1700
01:51:31,520 --> 01:51:33,280
Speaker 1: and he loved us now. And if we're worthy of

1701
01:51:33,320 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 1: God's love, then we're worthy of loving ourselves. I mean,

1702
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:42,120
Speaker 1: that's just that's just such a powerful eternal message. And yes,

1703
01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:43,960
Speaker 1: he diluted it a little by saying, well, if you're

1704
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:46,240
Speaker 1: a little, if you're a little uncomfortable with the concept

1705
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:50,280
Speaker 1: of God. Remember he's in Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, He's

1706
01:51:50,320 --> 01:51:53,320
Speaker 1: got to deal with all those godless lives. But James

1707
01:51:53,400 --> 01:52:00,360
Speaker 1: Vanderbeek was apparently a very devout Christian and just lived

1708
01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:04,120
Speaker 1: by a very powerful set of principles that I think

1709
01:52:04,880 --> 01:52:09,639
Speaker 1: all of us should. Oh he was. He moved from

1710
01:52:09,680 --> 01:52:13,960
Speaker 1: Hollywood to Texas, says producer Tug because of that, because

1711
01:52:13,960 --> 01:52:17,960
Speaker 1: it was filled with godless libs. He was a hardcore

1712
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:20,080
Speaker 1: conservative then, wasn't he, Even if he didn't want to

1713
01:52:20,120 --> 01:52:27,719
Speaker 1: say it, hard to say six kids deep faith in God.

1714
01:52:27,760 --> 01:52:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean he was in Austin, Texas, So that's sort

1715
01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:36,679
Speaker 1: of like the that's like the Berkeley of the South.

1716
01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:41,840
Speaker 1: It's the Madison of Texas. But I'm gonna say he

1717
01:52:41,920 --> 01:52:44,320
Speaker 1: probably didn't say it, but I think he was on

1718
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:49,880
Speaker 1: our team regardless. That was just a powerful, timeless, eternal

1719
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:53,880
Speaker 1: message and I simply had to share it for you.

1720
01:52:54,000 --> 01:52:57,040
Speaker 1: Coming up on The Dan O'Donnell Show tomorrow. We always

1721
01:52:57,120 --> 01:53:00,479

01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:05,000
