Speaker 1: Are the teachers and principles who have been covering up

Speaker 1: as documented by a massive investigative report by cap Times

4
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, in violation of state law. It sure

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: seems like it, and in Germantown an elementary school principle

6
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: fired right before the start of this school year for

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: doing just that, only allegedly the sexual misconduct was on

8
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: the part of a student. We will get to that

9
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,959

Speaker 1: iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to podcasts. Do you remember

50
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: the story of Rohan da Silva. Rohan da Silva is

51
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: a biological male who was allegedly dressing as a woman,

52
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: complete with a very revealing bikini according to multiple witnesses,

53
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: and going into the women's locker room at the Racine

54
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: Aquatics Center for several months, where he would change, he

55
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: would use the facilities, he would go for a swim,

56
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: and then he would leave. Well. In June, he left

57
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: the Racine Aquatic Center and when right to the parking

58
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: lot across the street, where he was arrested for allegedly

59
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: pleasuring himself. He was criminally charged with lewde and lascivious

60
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: behavior as well as disorderly conduct, and he was freed

61
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: on five hundred dollars signature bond. Signature bond, of course,

62
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: means that he didn't have to put up any money.

63
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: He was just free to go as soon as he

64
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: signed his name. If he violated the terms of his bond,

65
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: he of course would be charged with bail jumping. That's

66
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: exactly what he did. For months, he kept on using

67
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: the Racine Aquatics Center, even though it was patently obvious

68
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: that he was just claiming to be a woman in

69
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: order to get access to women and girls in very

70
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: vulnerable states, various states of undress, and he then went

71
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: and pleasured himself after doing so. This wasn't his first

72
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: time either. In the summer of twenty twenty four, he

73
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: was charged in Kerrie, Illinois with doing the exact same thing.

74
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: According to a news article at the time, the suspect,

75
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: identified as Rohan T. Da Silva, sixty three, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin,

76
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: was arrested by officers. A criminal complaint filed in McHenry

77
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: County Circuit Court said that da Silva was in the

78
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: parking lot of the aquatic center around five point forty pm.

79
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: He engaged in an act of sexual conduct by touching

80
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: and fondling his sex organ inside his vehicle. The complaints

81
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: set da Silva had the door opened to the car

82
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: and was visible to the public. The complaint added. He

83
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: was charged with public indecency, a Class A misdemeanor, and

84
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: released after being processed at the police department. I do

85
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: not know how or if that can is completed. What

86
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: I do know, though, is that he completed the exact

87
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: same cycle of behavior at the Racine Aquatic Center. And

88
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: this is made all the worse by the fact that

89
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: the Racine Aquatic Center is actually located on the property

90
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: of Racine Case High School. It is owned and operated

91
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: by Racine Unified School District. A couple of updates to

92
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: the Rohan da Silva case as a result of him

93
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: violating the terms of his release his signature bond. In

94
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: the earlier case, in which he was caught at the

95
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: hotel across the street from the Aquatic Center touching little Rohan,

96
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: he was instructed not to have any contact with any

97
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: place where children might be, including the Racine Aquatic Center. Well,

98
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: he kept going back, He kept going back. People were

99
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: funding the alarm, saying to Recine Aquatic Center staff, this

100
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: is a man in the women's locker room. What are

101
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: we going to do about it? The Racine Unified School

102
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: District said, well, we don't have a policy for adults

103
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: using the restroom or locker room that assigns that is

104
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,559
Speaker 1: aligned rather with their sex assigned at birth aka their

105
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: actual sex, their actual gender. We only have a policy

106
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: that covers students, so there's really nothing we can do. Well,

107
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: it turns out there was plenty that they could do.

108
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: The Racine County District Attorney's office got notified that this

109
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: guy was still at the Racine Aquatic Center. They said, hey,

110
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: wait a second, didn't we just criminally charge this guy

111
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: like three months ago with doing the exact same thing.

112
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: They sent a law enforcement officer a couple of weeks ago.

113
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: They took him into custody for violation of the terms

114
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: of his release. He was charged with eight counts of

115
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: bail jumping, all misdemeanors, as one count of possession of THCHC.

116
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: Racine County District Attorney's Office, of course, requested a very

117
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: large bail eight counts of bail jumping corresponding to I

118
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: believe the eight times that the District Attorney's office could

119
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: prove that Rohan de Silva was at the Racine Aquatics Center. Instead,

120
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: he gets thirty five hundred dollars cash bail. I am

121
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: told he has already posted it and he has already

122
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: been released. His initial court appearance was earlier today. He

123
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: is already back out on the streets, and it's my

124
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: guess he is at this very moment looking for another

125
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: swimming pool that he can use the women's locker room

126
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: at I have also been, in the course of investigating

127
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: this story, been trying to figure out just who is

128
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: Roha da Silva. He's in his mid sixties, and he

129
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: apparently signed his bail his signature bond in the first case,

130
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: as well as the thirty five hundred dollars bail that

131
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: he put up today as doctor Rohan da Silva. Now

132
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 1: this helps to confirm for me where mister, excuse me,

133
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: doctor da Silva was employed. According to a linked in

134
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: profile for a Rohan Da Silva whose picture looks very

135
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: very very similar to the Rohan da Silva mugshot out

136
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: of mckenry County, Illinois from last year, doctor Rohan da

137
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: Silva was a professor of social sciences at Milwaukee Area

138
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: Technical College, or MATC. According to a document posted online

139
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: by IMTC. Doctor D'Silva requested and was apparently granted a

140
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: sabbatical in early twenty twenty four for the twenty twenty

141
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: four twenty twenty five school year. As of right now,

142
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: I do not know if doctor D'Silva is back in

143
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: the classroom at MTC. Because he applied and was apparently

144
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: granted a one year sabbatical, and that would have been

145
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: for the last school year. The school year that just

146
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: started last month would be the twenty five twenty sixth

147
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: school year. I don't know if he extended that sabbatical.

148
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 1: I have been trying to contact the media relations at MTC.

149
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: I was unable to In the couple of minutes before

150
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 1: the show that I got some of this info confirmed

151
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:56,359
Speaker 1: and I got the information about doctor d Silva's court appearance,

152
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: I was not able to find a contact or the

153
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: media relations team, and I guess I'll use this opportunity

154
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: to say if anybody from MATC would like to comment

155
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: on this. If the school was aware of what doctor

156
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: da Silva was doing, I am going to take a

157
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: wild guess it's not particularly likely since he was on

158
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: sabbatical and this wasn't a very well publicized case. There

159
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: was one article about the Carrie Illinois arrest from last year,

160
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: but as far as I know, I am the only

161
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: media outlet that has been discussing the Rohan Da Silva case.

162
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: I believe Moms for Liberty, our great friend Scarlett Johnson

163
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: did something on this after we first reported on the

164
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: arrest and the lewd and lascivious behavior arrest from earlier

165
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: in the summer. But outside of that, and I don't

166
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: know if another conservative talk show has picked up on

167
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: this story or not. It's entirely possible that no one

168
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: at MATC had any idea about one of the professors

169
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: allegedly pretending to be a woman in order to get

170
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: sexual gratification from going into women's locker rooms and undoubtedly

171
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: seeing women in various stages of undress. This is a

172
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: big story that is being I believe, intentionally suppressed. Now.

173
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: I think I would hope that other news outlets in

174
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: Milwaukee are basically they have no choice. This is a

175
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: university professor. Okay, as far as I know now, is

176
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: it possible there are two Rohan Da Silvas who live

177
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee and who apparently are very active in the community.

178
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: Would you believe the Rohan da Silva who teaches at

179
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: MATC was also an election observer or a ward leader

180
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: or something for the twenty twenty four presidential election. So

181
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: suffice it to say he's been staying busy in his

182
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: sabbatical year. He's also been quoted in a number of

183
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: different media articles. But while I can't prove definitively that

184
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: this is the same Rohan da Silva, the fact that

185
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: he signed his name doctor Rohan da Silva when he

186
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: was posting bail for touching himself after using a women's

187
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: locker room, and the fact that his linked in page,

188
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: which features a picture that just looks like a much

189
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: younger version of the mugshot that we've got from McHenry County, Illinois.

190
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: I think it's a very safe bet that this is

191
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: the same Rohan da Silva. It's not as though this

192
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: is Professor John Smith. So it is very likely that

193
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: you have got a guy who has been for years

194
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: in a position where he would be around young women

195
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: of roughly this same age, and it appears he is

196
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: attracted to very young women. Again. The Racine Aquatic Center

197
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: is on a high school campus. It is used by

198
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: the swim team. I would presume gym class, swimming lessons

199
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: and the like at MATC. Was he using the women's

200
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: bathroom or women's showers, women's locker rooms, women's facilities just

201
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: to get access to women in again various states of

202
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: undress where he could sexually gratify himself in a public

203
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: place later. I understand why no one else in media

204
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: wants to touch this story. A. It's incredibly gross, but

205
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:48,119
Speaker 1: B it completely destroys the narrative that it's completely harmless

206
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: to allow biological males in women's private spaces where they

207
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: are in incredibly vulnerable positions. You're listening to the Dan

208
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: o'donnald Show. We will have much more on the this

209
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: breaking exclusive story, the Saga of Rohan da Silva and

210
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show returns. Welcome back to the Dan

211
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: o'donalds Show. We are following up on our exclusive reporting

212
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: on what appears to be an MATC professor by the

213
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: name of Rohan da Silva, who is sixty five years

214
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: old and was arrested outside of a hotel in his

215
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: car in the parking lot touching himself back in June

216
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: after using the pool at the Racine Aquatics Center, where

217
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: he was identifying as a woman and using the women's

218
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: locker room. He then, according to police, went immediately over

219
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: to that hotel parking lot and began pleasuring himself. Months

220
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: and months and months passed. Da Silva was apparently still

221
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: using the Recina Center facility. Eventually, concerned patrons went to

222
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: the Racine staff, and these are employees of the Racine

223
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: Unified School District. The Racine Aquatic Center is open to

224
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: the public, but it's on the campus of Racine Case

225
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: High School and it is owned and operated by the

226
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: Racine Unified School District. These patrons, one man in particular, said, look,

227
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: this is completely inappropriate. Why is it that this guy

228
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: is walking right past the men's room, right past the

229
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: family locker room, which has individual changing areas and showers

230
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. The ideas you go in

231
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: with small children they need to shower off after you

232
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: can help them, you can lock the door behind you,

233
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: nobody else can get in. It offers way more privacy.

234
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: And he walked past these two locker rooms and goes

235
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: directly to the women's locker room, where he would change

236
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: in full view of women. Apparently he would also be

237
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: able to see women changing, and he then went on

238
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: his merry way and presumably pleasured himself, just not in

239
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: a public location. It's not as though the first time

240
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: he did this at the Racine Aquatic Center was the

241
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: first time he did this. We found evidence from the

242
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty four at a park in Carrie, Illinois,

243
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: at a pool where he was apparently doing the exact

244
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: same thing. He would go to the pool and then

245
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: in the pool's parking lot he was pleasuring himself with

246
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: the car door wide open so that everybody could see him.

247
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: He was apparently using the women's facilities there. So even

248
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: though multiple patrons said this is wrong, Racine Unified staff,

249
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: something needs to happen here. This guy can't be allowed

250
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: to use the women's locker room. The Racine Unified School

251
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: District said, well, we don't have a policy for this,

252
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: and if we say he can't use the women's room,

253
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: we could be on the hook for a civil rights lawsuit. Well,

254
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: what sort of lawsuit do you think you would face

255
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: if a woman or a girl was sexually assaulted If

256
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: this guy decided to go the next step instead of

257
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: leaving the locker room and then immediately pleasuring himself thinking

258
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: about what he had just seen, and instead decides to

259
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: take his perverted fetish to the next step and use

260
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: the privacy of a women's locker room to heaven forbid,

261
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: actually sexually assault someone. So the Racine Unified School District,

262
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 1: and I talked to a number of people associated with it,

263
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: said look, Dan, we want this guy out too. We

264
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: actually have a policy. And the Racine Unified School District,

265
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: to its credit, immediately after President Trump had that big

266
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: executive order very early in his second term, back in

267
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: the winter early spring, saying yes, if you are a

268
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: public school that takes federal dollars, you need to comport

269
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: with Title nine. You need to have separate facilities for

270
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: women and girls, including locker rooms. Men can't have access

271
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: to those. So they set up a policy that said

272
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: all students need to use the bathroom and locker room

273
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: that is that of their sex assigned at birth, which

274
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: still strikes me as the dumbest saying in the English

275
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: line it is your sex, it is your gender. You

276
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: cannot change that. Can I change my race just by

277
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: saying I was born a poor black man like Steve

278
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: martinz As we said yesterday, Gavin Newsom surely tried on

279
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: that NBA podcast where he said he was just he

280
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: grew up hustling and playing basketball and mac and cheese

281
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: and white bread man. You can't do it, no matter

282
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: what Rachel Dolizole might tell you. You cannot change your race.

283
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: I'm forty four years old. Could I identify as sixty

284
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: five and start getting Social Security and Medicare benefits? I'm

285
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: sure the government would have something to say about that. Well,

286
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: if I can't change something as immutable as the amount

287
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: of years that I have been on this earth, how

288
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: can I change something as immutable as the chromosomes that

289
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: make me the biological organism that I am. It's equally impossible.

290
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: So the Racine Unified School District said, we have a

291
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: policy for students, but we don't have a policy for

292
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: teachers or administrators or adults who are coming in from

293
00:20:53,600 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: the community to just use our facilities. That's the height

294
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: of stupidity, It's the height of living on the edge. Frankly,

295
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: But for the grace of God and the Racine law

296
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: enforcement and prosecutorial community who quickly arrested this guy after

297
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: getting wind that it was the same guy they picked

298
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: up for pleasuring himself in the hotel parking lot back

299
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: in June. That this guy didn't victimize somebody. This is why,

300
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: folks that captime story about the cover ups of teacher

301
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: abuse is such a big deal. And this is why

302
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: coming up in the four o'clock hour, we are going

303
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: to break wide open a story that is something of

304
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: a Dan O'Donnell's Show exclusive. I have to give all

305
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: the credit for doing the legwork on this story to

306
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: a group that calls itself Germantown United. It was on

307
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: Facebook and they did a Feyer request into the firing

308
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: of a very popular elementary school principle because this was

309
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: a controversy in the Germantown School district community that this

310
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: guy was fired. Well, it turns out that he was

311
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: not reporting the apparent harassment or sexual misconduct the touching

312
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: of three young girls by another elementary school student, where

313
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm at least led to believe it was an elementary

314
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: school student. I have no reasona believe it was an

315
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: older student. I just know it was a student, so

316
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: I would presume that it was a student from that

317
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: same school. He is a mandatory reporter, and this is

318
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: an aspect of the teacher abuse cover up scandal that

319
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: everyone in this state in Democrat politics, appears to be

320
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: running terrified from You had the state Superintendent, doctor Jill Underley,

321
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: instead of testifying before the state legislature, literally skip out

322
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: of town flee the state like she was supposed to

323
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: be voting on Act ten to accept an award from

324
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: her alma mater, Indiana University. How ironic is that when

325
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: she's supposed to be answering tough questions from the state

326
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: legislature about how her department for years covered up teacher

327
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: sex abuse. Well, you've got evidence from the cap Times

328
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: that individual schools, instead of reporting sexual misconduct and potentially

329
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: sexual assault by teachers, they were sweeping it under the rug.

330
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: That's a violation of state law. Teachers and principles are

331
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: what are known as mandatory reporters. They have to report

332
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: any evidence of child sexual endangerment. Now, I'm not saying

333
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: that anyone at the Racine Aquatic Center had any knowledge

334
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: of what d Silva was arrested for in June after

335
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: he left their facility, But my god, can we have

336
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: common sense trump political correctness, or rather transsanity. It was

337
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: always feared that you would have a certain segment of

338
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: the population, however small, however minischool that population is, and

339
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: it might just be in this state population of one

340
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: rohan Da Silva, but that you would have a certain

341
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: number of people who would take advantage of the fact

342
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: that they could all of a sudden go into women's

343
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: locker rooms and women's bathrooms, and they would dress up

344
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: as women in order to see them naked, see them changing,

345
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: seeing them use the restroom, seeing them do whatever, and

346
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: potentially have access to them in a private place where

347
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: they could lock the door and they could sexually assault

348
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: or even rate them. This is very serious stuff here,

349
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: and it's the darker side of Oh, let's just throw

350
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: every single person into gender neutral facilities, or let's let

351
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: males into female spaces without ever once thinking about the

352
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: possibility that something could ever go wrong. This is why

353
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: this story starts and ends on the Dan O'Donnell show.

354
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: This is why I talk about the talk radio ghetto

355
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: that the rest of the media wants to keep these

356
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: stories in because it has the tendency to tell people when, hey,

357
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: this thing that conservatives were warning about happening for years

358
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: is actually happening. It has a tendency to make them

359
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: rethink the sanity of some of the most truly outrageous

360
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: left wing policies that have ever existed. You are listening

361
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: to the Dan o'donald Show, a tour de force of truth.

362
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: Milwaukee County and State of Wisconsin officials are reaching out

363
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: to a fellow Wisconsin iight who also happens to be

364
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: the Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, asking him to sever federal

365
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: ties to the hop, making it easier for the city

366
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: to simply ditch the money losing streetcar. We will get

367
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: into that in the five o'clock hour here on the

368
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show. Right now, Wisconsin has joined a multi

369
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 1: state lawsuit to try to force the federal government to

370
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: continue to fund SNAP benefits even after they run out.

371
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: On November first, here's Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers.

372
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: I don't care about the resolution.

373
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: Also, Cara Martin is the peace for the people Wisconsin

374
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 3: have a health care that they need, and once we

375
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 3: go down this role where we're taking it away and

376
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 3: next thing you know, we're going to hear about, oh

377
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: my gosh, all this stuff with people going into the

378
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 3: emergency or wingahs because of that we're going on in

379
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 3: a business.

380
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 2: This hospital is going on in a business.

381
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 3: I don't care what all the excuses are in Washington, DC,

382
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 3: Bacon fix this not as simple as that.

383
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: Okay. I think I might have been the only person

384
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: who picked up on this. Evers actually tweeted out that

385
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: SoundBite from his official at gov evers x account. He

386
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 1: clearly wanted people to know this. This was from his

387
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: announcement at a library in Milwaukee yesterday that he was

388
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: going to be joining this multi state lawsuit. I don't

389
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: think anybody picked up on him saying, well, Republicans are

390
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: going to say that some of these hospitals will go

391
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: under if they're allowing these people to get healthcare coverage.

392
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 1: Listen to this again and listen for just that part. Okay.

393
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 2: I don't care about the resolution.

394
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,399
Speaker 3: All they care about is the peak for the people

395
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 3: of Wisconsin have the health care that they need.

396
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: And once we go down this road.

397
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 3: Where we're taking it away, the next thing, you know,

398
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 3: we're going to hear about, oh my gosh, all this

399
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 3: stuff with people going into the emergency or winga heights

400
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 3: because of that, we're going on to business. This hospital

401
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 3: is going on in a business. I don't care what

402
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 3: all the excuses are in Washington, DC. They can fix

403
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 3: this now as simple as that.

404
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: I am like ninety five percent sure that that was

405
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's governor said, you bet. We want Democrats to allow

406
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: for illegal aliens to get Medicaid coverage, something that Democrats

407
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: in Washington have been saying forever that they weren't in

408
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: favor of. What he is talking about is emergency Medicaid.

409
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: What he is talking about hospitals going under because so

410
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: many people are going to be using emergency rooms is

411
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: what Republicans have been talking about. So hospitals will build

412
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: medicaid and then they get reimbursed because we have a

413
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: longstanding policy in this country that nobody gets turned away

414
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: for emergency care regardless of whether or not they can

415
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: pay for it. So when people can't pay, if they

416
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: don't have health insurance, if they don't have the ability

417
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: to pay, the federal government will pick that up through

418
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: Medicaid reimbursements. It's known as emergency Medicaid. Well, what has

419
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: happened over the last two three decades is that illegal aliens,

420
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: who obviously do not have health care go to emergency

421
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: rooms for primary care. Now they're not going for you know,

422
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: yearly checkups, but they are going If they say have

423
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: a coth that isn't going to go away. Something that

424
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: you wouldn't consider to be an emergency, you would go

425
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: see your primary care physician. And then if he or

426
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: she says, well, this is more serious, you need to

427
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: go to an urgent care, you need to go to

428
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: a specialist, you would go from there. Well, if you

429
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: don't have access to a primary care physician, where are

430
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: you going the place that can't turn you away? Right

431
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: the emergency room. I think Evers just inadvertently gave up

432
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: the fact that Democrats absolutely are fighting for medicaid for illegals.

433
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: He just didn't have a direct way of saying it,

434
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: because well he's Tony Evers and he doesn't really have

435
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: a direct way of saying anything. Listen to this again,

436
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: knowing what I just explained to you, that emergency Medicaid

437
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: is what's used to reimburse emergency rooms hospitals for treating

438
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: illegal migrants, and how the one Big, Beautiful Bill made

439
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: this much more difficult to close the loophole that California

440
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: was using to provide federally funded care or for illegal

441
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: aliens using emergency Medicaid. Listen to Tony Evers one more

442
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: time and tell me this is not exactly what he's

443
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: talking about.

444
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: I don't care about the resolution.

445
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 3: All they care about is the people for the people

446
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 3: of Wisconsin have the health care that they need.

447
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: Okay. All I care about is that the people of

448
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: Wisconsin have the health care that they need. Not citizens

449
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin, not citizens of the country. I want people

450
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin to have the health care that they need.

451
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 3: And once we go down this road where we're taking

452
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 3: it away, the next thing, you know, we're gonna hear about,

453
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, all this stuff with people going into

454
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 3: the emergency or wing guys because of that.

455
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: We're going on in a business. This hospital is going

456
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: on in a business.

457
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 3: I don't care what all the excuses are. In Washington, DC.

458
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 3: They can fix this now, as simple as that.

459
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: He's got to be talking about that. I honestly don't

460
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: know what else he's talking about. This was the talking point.

461
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: This was the argument that Republicans were making that costs

462
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: are being driven up by some of these hospitals because

463
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: they're treating so many illegal aliens, and Medicaid is being

464
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: forced to reimburse them that we are paying for people who,

465
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: under the law, are not to be covered by Medicaid.

466
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: But because there's this giant loophole that California discovered, I

467
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,239
Speaker 1: am telling you Tony Evers just inadvertently gave up the

468
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: ghosts that Democrats really are all these weeks later, five

469
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: weeks to the day after this shutdown started, they really

470
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: are now trying to get medicaid for illegals. Remember at

471
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: the start of this shutdown, it's hard to remember five

472
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago when this shutdown started, but that was the

473
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: charge Republicans said. Democrats are trying to have health care

474
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: for illegals, They're trying to get medicaid for illegal aliens.

475
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: They're trying to and they absolutely were. They One of

476
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: their demands is that the section of the One Big

477
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill. I actually pointed you to the exact page

478
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: I believe it is, page one fifty eight of Democrats'

479
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: proposal would overturn the One Big Beautiful Bill's prohibition on

480
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: using Medicaid dollars for illegal aliens. All these weeks later,

481
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: I think Tony Evers just inadvertently proved for Republicans. Correct.

482
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, him saying that, well, I

483
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: don't care about any of this. I just want people covered.

484
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: I just want people to have healthcare. I think these

485
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: politicians in Washington, d C. Could absolutely reopen the government.

486
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: They just need to get it done. He's right, they could.

487
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: There was a thirteenth vote today in the United States Senate.

488
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: Every single Republican, joined by a tiny handful of Democrats,

489
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: voted to reopen the government with a clean continuing resolution,

490
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: meaning no poison pill policy items that Democrats could not

491
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: in good conscience support or vote for. It's just continuing

492
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: funding at current levels. There is no policy, there is

493
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: no nothing. Chuck Schumer, the leader of Senate Democrats, voted

494
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: for thirteen of them over the past several years, most

495
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: recently in March. What has changed from March to now? Truly,

496
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: what has changed. We're still going on Obama era spending

497
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: because we have been governed by continuing resolution. We do

498
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: not have Trump priorities in spending in play yet. So

499
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: essentially Democrats are filibustering, and this is the very first

500
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: filibuster in American history of a clean continuing resolution. Typically,

501
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: when there's a budget fight, a continuing resolution that doesn't

502
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: have any policy whatsoever, is what brings the parties back

503
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: together and is what reopens the government. This is the

504
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: first time in the history of this country one of

505
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: the those parties Philip Buster to clean cr It is

506
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: the exact same bill that Schumer and Democrats voted for

507
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: back in March. What's changed six straight months of being

508
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: hammered by their radical base saying you're not fighting Trump.

509
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: You're not fighting Trump, You're not fighting Trump hard enough.

510
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,919
Speaker 1: You're up. In the next couple of minutes, we will

511
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: name your unhinged Liberal of the day. Welcome back to

512
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show. A remix of the beetlejuice theme

513
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 1: and the Dan o'donald show Halloween Bumper music rotation coming

514
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: up in the next hour. A truly disturbing story out

515
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 1: of the Germantown School District that ties into the broader scandal,

516
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: and it is a massive scandal, despite the fact that

517
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the media in this state has steadfastly

518
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: refused to report on it of teacher cover ups and

519
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: DPI and school administration cover ups of sexual So now

520
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that happened here. In fact, the

521
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: Germantown School District near as I can tell. As soon

522
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: as it it got word that this principle was covering

523
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: up some sort of sexual misconduct, not by a teacher

524
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:19,919
Speaker 1: but by a student, they immediately moved to fire him.

525
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: But this fits in with this sort of stuff going

526
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: on and parents really not hearing about it. Time now

527
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: before we get to that today and the unhinged liberal

528
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:45,320
Speaker 1: of the truff is dangerous because he's evil.

529
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 2: America.

530
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 1: Today's unhinged liberal of the day is New York mayoral

531
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: candidate Zohrn Mamdanni. Remember when he gave that tiary press

532
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: conference talking about islama phobia.

533
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 4: I want to use this moment to speak to the

534
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 4: Muslims of New York City. Hm, I want to speak

535
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 4: to the memory of my aunt who stopped taking the

536
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 4: subway after September eleventh because she did not feel safe

537
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 4: in her hijab.

538
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: Well, he was called on the fact that his one

539
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: aunt didn't actually live in New York City and never

540
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: wore a hi job. He tried to clean that up

541
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: today by saying, oh wait, never mind. When I said aunt,

542
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 1: I meant it was actually my dad's cousin, God rest

543
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: her soul, not aunt, but first cousin once removed. Yeah,

544
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: I completely believe that Zoran Mamdani, your unhinged liberal of

545
00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: the day Dan O'Donnells show coming right back. An elementary

546
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: school principal in Germantown fired for not one, but two

547
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: major violations of district policy, including one in which he

548
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: failed to report sexual misconduct by a student. Alleged harassment

549
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: or groping of three young girls. It is a Dan

550
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: O'Donnell show exclusive. I must give credit where credit is due.

551
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 1: I got the information from a group calling itself Germantown United,

552
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: and folks, I will, at this point, before we break

553
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 1: this story wide open after our daily Trump date, remind

554
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: you that if you are part of one of these

555
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: groups that sort of keeps your eye on the local

556
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: school district or local government, and you think you've got

557
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: a story that you want out there, I will be

558
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 1: the to break it wide open for you. I will

559
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: be the person to call attention to this, and I

560
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: will give you as much or as little credit as

561
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: you want. Sources are always fully protected. If you don't

562
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: want me knowing that I worked with you or your group,

563
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 1: no one ever will. You are my eyes and ears

564
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: out there, folks in the community, I pride myself on

565
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: breaking a whole ton of stories that actually do have

566
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: impact in communities. For example, I almost forgot to mention,

567
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 1: do you remember last week Friday? Last Friday, right before

568
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: the weekend, we did the story about Milwaukee Parkside Elementary

569
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: School and how they had a very violent looking anti

570
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: ice poster that a listener said, Hey, this is hanging

571
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: all over in the schools. I think this is grossly

572
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,320
Speaker 1: inappropriate given all of the attacks on ice. Well after

573
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: I reported on this, of course this school's administrations and well,

574
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: our radio host was talking about this and we decided

575
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: to see if he was accurate. So he walked around

576
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: the school at lo and behold he was. They removed

577
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: the posters. They said they could only find one. My

578
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: source says, no, these things were all over the school.

579
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: You can actually see a picture. It's right up on

580
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: my ex and Facebook pages at Dan O'Donnell's show on

581
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: either of them. I was made aware of the Germantown

582
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: story just from someone emailing me at DD at iHeartMedia

583
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: dot com. I was made aware of the ice story.

584
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: I was made aware of any number of the stories

585
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: that we've broken on this show, and it is a

586
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: good number of them from people just like you who

587
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: are concerned about your community. Emailing me at DD at

588
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: iHeartMedia dot com. Again, DD at iHeartMedia dot com. You

589
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: give me as much information as you possibly can. I

590
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: will take it from there. I'll contact the relevant people.

591
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: I will try to work some sources that, if I

592
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: have any, I can lean on for information. This is

593
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: how this stuff works. And this is why I actually

594
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: was at a local college last week and I was

595
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: talking just about investigative reporting and the importance of local reporting.

596
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: And if we don't have people who are willing to

597
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: hold government accountable, and if we don't have media outlets

598
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: that will take those tips or will have sources, develop

599
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: sources and then have those sources present them with information

600
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: about things that are going on, local government can run rampant.

601
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: This is where corruption thrives. This is why when people ask, well, Dan,

602
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 1: you're so critical of the Milwaukee Journal Centaly you hate

603
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: the Journal Center, kidd me. I love the Journal Sentinel.

604
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: I hate the fact that it has become more of

605
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: a propaganda outlet for elected Democrats and an attack dog

606
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: for a political party, rather than an entity that is

607
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: actually holding city and state government accountable. When local news works,

608
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: local news is actively following up on leads and is

609
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: actually working to on behalf of the people of the

610
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: community that it serves. And that's ultimately what this job is.

611
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: Whether you're radio host, whether you're a newspaper reporter, whether

612
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: you're a TV anchor, it is a job of service.

613
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: I heard in the news, and obviously I was made

614
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: aware last night that longtime TV anchor Jerry Taff passed

615
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: away on Monday evening at the age of eighty five.

616
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:57,439
Speaker 1: Jerry actually signed off twenty years ago, if you can

617
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: believe that. And my friend in call league, Mark Belling,

618
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: always made fun of the fact that WISN twelve gave

619
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: Jerry Taff the single longest sendoff in the history of

620
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: media sendoffs. I swear the Jerry Taff Farewell tour lasted

621
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:19,879
Speaker 1: about five years. He deserved it. He was a man

622
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: who understood that community is at the heart of everything

623
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: that you do in broadcasting, in news. He understood that.

624
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: He was held up as an exemplar of all that's

625
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: good about Milwaukee. What people forget is that Jerry Taff

626
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: was a very accomplished journalist. He was in the anchor

627
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: chair for so long. He did a lot of great

628
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: investigative work earlier on in his career, and he was

629
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:56,800
Speaker 1: also committed to fair, honest and unbiased reporting. That whole

630
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: generation of news anchors. We were very very blessed to

631
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: have Mike Gouchet over at Today's TMJ four, Mike Jacobs,

632
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: both of them I got to know very well during

633
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: my time there. Carol Meekins at TMJ four over at

634
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: Fox six. Brad Hicks came on a little bit later,

635
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 1: but he was always very very committed to getting the

636
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: straight truth and story. And in spite of the fact

637
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 1: that I poked fun of him quite a bit for

638
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: wishing that Mitch McConnell would just go ahead and die already,

639
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: Ted Perry has actually been very very good. He has

640
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: been a very very good pillar of the community. Even

641
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: though it's pretty obvious he's liberally biased, he was always

642
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: incredibly nice to me. That's why I felt bad I

643
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: had to report the fact that this is six seven

644
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: years ago that he was being just unbelievably vile on

645
00:44:54,800 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: social media. Jerry taff though, I sort of stood kind

646
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: of head and shoulders above all of them, because he

647
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: was just so synonymous with Milwaukee and Milwaukee News. And

648
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: I actually only met Jerry once in passing. This would

649
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: have been pooh boy. I was really young. I think

650
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: it was at like the Milwaukee EIR Awards or it

651
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: was something this had to be like two thousand and two,

652
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: and I think I was introduced to him and said Hi,

653
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: that was the extent of my So I've I've spent

654
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 1: a lot of time over the last fifteen sixteen hours

655
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 1: since news of his passing was widely circulated, reading tributes

656
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 1: on social media of people who did know him and everything.

657
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I only knew him as the guy I

658
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 1: watched on TV okay, but the people that did know

659
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 1: him said he was just a kind, honest, decent human being.

660
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: And I sincerely hope that he has a good night

661
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 1: and a pleasant eternity. I'm now thinking I just was

00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: print the President Xi Jinping in South Korea in two

691
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: days that I would think is going to be a

692
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: bit more tense of a meeting than the celebratory one

693
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 1: that he had today with Japan's Prime minister, who gifted

694
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: him something that it seems truly touched Trump's heart. It

695
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 1: was a putter owned by the slain former Prime Minister

696
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 1: of Japan, Shinzo Abe, who President Trump was incredibly close

697
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,479
Speaker 1: with and has spoken incredibly fondly of. Japan's current prime

698
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: minister also promised to plant fifty new cherry blossoms in Washington,

699
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: d c. In a symbol of the strengthened ties between

700
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: the United States and Japan, two of the closest allies

701
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 1: on planet Earth. Again, President Trump will go to visit

702
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 1: one of America's chief adversaries, big meeting with Shi Jin

703
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: pingin two days, but the President said he's optimistic things

704
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: will work out well.

705
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 7: I'm meeting with President she the day after tomorrow.

706
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 2: I'm going to.

707
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,719

709

Speaker 7: a very fantastic meete. Who's going tomorrow? Is anybody going

710
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 7: that I know in this room? I think a lot

711
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 7: tim are you going Maybe you're not. You mean, you

712
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 7: came here for this and you're just going back to

713
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 7: just like that. But we'll be going to South Korea

714
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 7: and then on the following day a meeting with President She.

715
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 7: As you probably heard, I'd be surprised if anybody in here.

716
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 7: That's a big, big meeting. And I think it's going

717
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 7: to work out very well. Actually, I think it's going

718
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:25,479
Speaker 7: to be great.

719
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: President Trump and President she are of course going to

720
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: work on the ongoing trade stalemates between the two countries now.

721
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: Earlier in the day, President Trump visited sailors on the

722
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: USS George Washington's stationed in Japan and told them how

723
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: much respect he has for them. On the two hundred

724
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: and fiftieth anniversary, or at least around the two hundred

725
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: and fiftieth anniversary of the United States.

726
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 5: Navy, sailors of the ship sacrifice so much for our

727
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 5: country and the President. And I will tell you, the

728
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 5: President standing right up here loves you. I respect you,

729
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 5: and I love you, and I'm giving everything I have

730
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 5: to make sure that when you get home you find

731
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 5: in America that is safe and proud and sovereign and free.

732
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: In fact, the President said, America is more prosperous and

733
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: freer than it ever has been.

734
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 5: American strength is roaring back like never before. And with

735
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 5: your help, America is respected once more, and it is

736
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 5: respected at levels that we haven't seen before.

737
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: That's because this president, unlike past presidents, is not starting

738
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: new wars, but rather stopping.

739
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 5: We stopped a lot of those wars based on trade

740
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 5: and tariffs and penalties. And you know they're gonna get

741
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 5: they're getting all ready to fight, and then we tell

742
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,760
Speaker 5: them no more trading with the United States. We're putting

743
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 5: tariffs on your nation, et cetera, et cetera. It's called

744
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 5: national security for us, but it's really national security.

745
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 2: For the whole world.

746
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 1: And everywhere we go.

747
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 5: America is actually making peace, and its peace through strength.

748
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 5: When they look at this, when they look at you people,

749
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,280
Speaker 5: they say, we're not going to mess around with them.

750
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: This afternoon, here at home, Vice President JD. Vance meeting

751
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 1: on behalf of the President with Senate Republicans, telling them

752
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: to stay strong in the face of fierce Democrat obstructionism

753
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: as Democrats for a thirteenth time refuse to vote to

754
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: reopen the government, all the while screaming at Republicans who

755
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: control the Senate, the House, and the Presidency to reopen

756
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 1: the government, expecting that their voters are too dumb to

757
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,960
Speaker 1: understand what a filibuster is. Vice President Vance said the

758
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: meeting went well and all Republicans are on the same page.

759
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, that is your daily Trump date. We

760
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,919
Speaker 1: will be right back in just a second with a

761
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: big exclusive story out of Germantown. Stay tuned, that's coming

762
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: up in just three minutes. Welcome back to the Dan

763
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:58,720
Speaker 1: o'donald's show, all Halloween bumper music that is a little

764
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: mixed with black magic as we are counting down to

765
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: the big day October thirty first. Is it just me

766
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 1: or does it seem like Halloween season? I know nothing

767
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: will ever top Christmas season in this country, but Halloween

768
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: season seems like it's getting close in terms of just

769
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:23,879
Speaker 1: the commercialization. I mean, it used to just be about

770
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: the occult and worshiping Satan, and now it's just gotten

771
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: so commercial. I can't even have a good blood sacrifice

772
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: on Halloween Night without getting advertisements for candy and for costumes.

773
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: I just I'm kidding. Of course, I'm not doing blood

774
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 1: sacrifices or anything with the occult I did last night.

775
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how I was able to do this.

776
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 1: I think it was because she was tired and fell

777
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: asleep midway through. I convinced my wife to watch it.

778
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 1: Welcome to Dairy It as in, you know, penny Wise,

779
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: the dancing clown, the Stephen King adaptation. It's about, I

780
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: think the start of whatever it was, the Curse of

781
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: Dairy Main and it was really well done, insanely weird

782
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 1: and creepy. There's like a flying devil baby that flies

783
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: and does weird devil baby things. That's in like the

784
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,840
Speaker 1: first twenty minutes. I'm not spoiling anything. There's weird devil

785
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: baby that just sort of shows up throughout the episode.

786
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 1: I thought the crazy clown from the movies see I watched, though,

787
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: is it Tim Curry who is the original penny Wise,

788
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: and then Bill Skarsgard who is just phenomenal as penny

789
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: Wise in the remake from twenty seventeen, and then it

790
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: chapter two and twenty nineteen. I just actually got done

791
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: watching those movies. I realized I've never seen it Chapter

792
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: two all the way through. Very well, You've got to

793
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 1: like horror movies. It's obviously a pretty hard r but

794
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: there's a good amount of happiness and fun to it.

795
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: And it was the same with this show. It's on

796
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: HBO Max. It just came out earlier this week. First

797
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 1: episode premiered, and my wife told me, as we're gonna watch,

798
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 1: she said, Okay, but you can't get mad if I'm

799
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: on my phone during the show, because that just means

800
00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm too scared and don't want to actually watch. So

801
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: a lot of Halloween programming. I think we might watch

802
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 1: the ed Geen Show tonight. See, we're just we're binging

803
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 1: on all this stuff because our eleven year old daughter

804
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: literally just left. Did I tell you this, folks? We

805
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: got the puppy right before Labor Day. And yes you

806
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: can see the pictures of Buddy the puppy in our

807
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:01,960
Speaker 1: Halloween costumes. You can imagine with a puppy named Buddy

808
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 1: what my wife, me, and the puppy dressed up as. No,

809
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,720
Speaker 1: we could not get the kids to join the family

810
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: costume this year. But my daughter has been sleeping in

811
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:16,439
Speaker 1: our bedroom because the puppy, as she put it, will

812
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: get lonely if she is not sleeping with her head

813
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 1: right outside of his little cage, so they sleep together

814
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: on the floor right next to our bed. As you

815
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: could imagine, this has meant no scary shows or movies

816
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 1: that Dad likes for pretty much the last three weeks.

817
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: Last night was the first night back in her own bed,

818
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: so we went nuts, all right. This is an exclusive

819
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: story on the Dan O'Donnell show that was provided to

820
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: me by a group calling itself Germantown United. It is

821
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: a Facebook group. It appears to be concerned citizens who

822
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: were curious about why a very popular principle by the

823
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:11,879
Speaker 1: name of Tony Gonzalez was fired. This happened apparently very

824
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: quickly over the summer. Gonzalez was the principal of MacArthur

825
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: Elementary School in Germantown, which of course is a feeder

826
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: school for the middle school and high school. According to

827
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: a letter to Gonzalez from the district's superintendent, doctor Chris Reuter,

828
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:42,280
Speaker 1: as well as the Germantown School Board, principal, Gonzalez faced

829
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:46,919
Speaker 1: a disciplinary hearing which eventually led to his removal as

830
00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 1: principal shortly before the start of this school year because

831
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: he failed to report sexual or other misbehavior by a student,

832
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: which was dubbed student harassment back in May. According to

833
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: this letter. On May twelfth, twenty twenty five, the district

834
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,480
Speaker 1: discovered that mister Gonzalez failed to notify the parents of

835
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: three students of an incident that occurred on May seventh,

836
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, wherein a student wherein the students were

837
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: reportedly subjected to inappropriate physical contact by another student. Mister

838
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: Gonzalez further failed to follow required student safety reporting procedures

839
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: underboard policy, which are designed to ensure timely district responses

840
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: to allegations of harassment and potential Title nine implications. He

841
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: also failed to report this incident to a district compliance

842
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: officer within the two day reporting window required under Germantown

843
00:57:56,480 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: Board policy regarding student anti harassment. These omissions violated his

844
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: mandatory duty to protect students and in short timely reporting

845
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: of potential harassment, exposing the district to potential legal liability

846
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: under Title nine. A formal written warning was Injured on Injured,

847
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: issued on May twenty second, twenty twenty five, advising mister

848
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: Gonzalez further policy violations could result in additional disciplinary action,

849
00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: up to and including dismissal. Mandatory reporting is not merely

850
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 1: a violation of school board policy. It is also a

851
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: violation of law. As a principle, Tony Gonzalez had a

852
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:58,120
Speaker 1: duty under Wisconsin law to report what had happened. Now

853
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 1: was this appropriate that the Germantown School District merely issued

854
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: him a written warning for failing to do so. I

855
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: don't believe so. I believe there should have been an

856
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: immediate investigation and that he should have been placed on

857
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: administrative leave for failing to follow not just his required

858
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: duties under school board and district policy, but also under

859
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: the laws of Wisconsin. The law does not end at

860
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: the school doors. This is the major problem and the

861
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: major disconnect we appear to be having here with respect

862
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 1: to that bombshell Cap Times investigation about the Department of

863
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: Public Instruction allowing teachers to merely surrender their teaching licenses

864
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: in exchange for investigations into their alleged sexual misconduct being dropped.

865
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: Are these teachers being reported per state law mandatory reporter guidelines.

866
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 1: My guess is absent slutely not. In follow up stories

867
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 1: by the Cap Times, it was alleged that there was

868
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: widespread knowledge in some schools, none in the Germantown School District.

869
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: It should be noted, but that teachers were being investigated

870
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: for misconduct and they were being allowed to return right

871
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: back into the classroom. Obviously, none of this is being reported,

872
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:31,919
Speaker 1: otherwise it would trigger more serious investigations. What Gonzales did

873
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: here appears to be a clear violation of state law.

874
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: You report this stuff if there is a kid who

875
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 1: is fondling or groping or doing anything inappropriate to other kids,

876
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: regardless of how old the alleged perpetrator is. This is

877
01:00:55,360 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: a very serious issue. We entrust people like school principles

878
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 1: and teachers with about the most sacred duty that we

879
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: have right for hours and hours and hours and hours

880
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: a day, every single weekday, we send our kids to

881
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: the care of people like Tony Gonzalez. Their primary duty

882
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: is to keep those kids safe. I was talking about

883
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 1: my daughter, my daughter today. I have no idea what

884
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: she did all day. I mean, I've got a pretty

885
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:32,000
Speaker 1: good idea. I can see her class schedule. But I

886
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: am trusting her teacher. I am trusting her principle. I

887
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: am trusting the people at that school to give her

888
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: a good education, sure, but to keep her safe. Now,

889
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure like the Germantown School district. I have an

890
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: incredible relationship with everybody at my daughter's school. I happen

891
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 1: to think that my kids go to the single best

892
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,800
Speaker 1: school district in the state of Wisconsin. I think the

893
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: world of it. I think the world of it. Would

894
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: never dawn on me that if she was touched in appropriately,

895
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be reported, not just to me, but to

896
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: the proper authorities. That didn't happen at this elementary school.

897
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: That's a massive problem. But the problems for Gonzales didn't

898
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: stop there. According to this letter notifying him of the

899
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: hearing for his dismissal on July sixteenth, twenty twenty five,

900
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: the district determined that mister Gonzales had failed to fulfill

901
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 1: his job responsibilities relating to teacher evaluations. Specifically, he did

902
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 1: not complete forty four required evaluations in frontline and failed

903
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: to implement evaluation processes for multiple teachers, including new hires

904
01:02:53,880 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: and those previously identified as needing close monitoring forty four

905
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: different evaluations. I don't know how many teachers or staff

906
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: members are at this school, but that sounds like almost

907
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: all of them. Not only that, if there are teachers

908
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: who are new to the district or teachers who are

909
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: on a period of probation because of complaints, poor performance

910
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: or that sort of thing. He's not doing any evaluations,

911
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: so there is no accountability for any of the teachers

912
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: who are under his supervision. Once again, that's a big

913
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: problem now, that obviously is a major issue. This apparently

914
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: was the last straw. It was also a violation of

915
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:50,240
Speaker 1: board policy because of the second violation within a short

916
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: period of time. This triggered a school board hearing which

917
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 1: was scheduled for August twelveth, six o'clock PM, in which

918
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: he had the right to legal representation at your expense

919
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: as well is the right to call witnesses, present evidence,

920
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: and or testimony on your own behalf. I am told

921
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 1: he just left, that he did not fight this, that

922
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: he left the district MacArthur as a new principle. Why

923
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:28,240
Speaker 1: did it take a second violation of board policy when

924
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: he's not telling anybody about sexual misconduct that is going

925
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 1: on on his campus that he knows about what is

926
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:45,200
Speaker 1: wrong with the policy? This isn't okay, Well, Tony Tony,

927
01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: Tony ton can't do that, buddy. Oh wait, you weren't

928
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 1: doing basically any of the work that you have to

929
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: do as a principal. Okay, now I think we're going

930
01:04:54,840 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: to fire you eventually. The Germantown School District did do

931
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 1: the right thing. I reached out this afternoon to doctor

932
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: Chris Reuter in an email just seeking comment on this.

933
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm taking a look at my email Inbucks. Nope, no

934
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 1: response yet. If he does respond, I will of course

935
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 1: bring that to you. And while I will commend the

936
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: Germantown School board and superintendent for eventually doing the right thing.

937
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: If this guy had managed to fill in his teacher

938
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: evaluations on time, would he still be the principal? Would

939
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 1: I be talking about this sett all? Now? I guess

940
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 1: based on what I understand for this from this group.

941
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:52,720
Speaker 1: I was working with Germantown United on this story. The

942
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 1: principle was very very well liked. He's very popular principle,

943
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he was. And am I saying Tony

944
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 1: Gonzales is actively covering up? No? No, I'm saying he

945
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 1: didn't think this rose to the level of something that

946
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 1: needed to be reported. And it did. It always does.

947
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: And this isn't something, unfortunately, for which you get grace,

948
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 1: for which you get forgiveness, because this is the most

949
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: basic most elemental duty that you have as a school administrator,

950
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: and folks, I have the utmost respect. We as conservatives

951
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: sort of get this bad rep of oh, you just

952
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: hate all teachers and you hate all education.

953
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 2: No.

954
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 1: No, just like with local media, I love education. I

955
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: hate that it has become an indoctrination center when teachers

956
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:57,919
Speaker 1: and administrators are allowed to substitute their own personal politics

957
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: for the primary duty that they have to educate, protect,

958
01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 1: and guide and mentor students. The teachers who do that

959
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: are fantastic. The teachers who do that, I have no

960
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: problem saying, yes, they deserve to be paid a whole

961
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: lot more because of how important the work is. I

962
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: would remind them that the reason they don't get a

963
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: whole lot more money is how many bureaucrats exactly are

964
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: in the MPs district office. I think I lost count.

965
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: I actually tried to count up all the people who

966
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: worked at central office and tried to figure out just

967
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: how much they made near as we could tell. I

968
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: did this a couple of months ago. No, I did

969
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: this about a year ago, after that ridiculous referendum passed.

970
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 1: I think we figured that they make at central office

971
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 1: at MPs an average of something like one hundred eight

972
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 1: thousand dollars per year, and I was just going through

973
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: all of the job time. That's the reason that in

974
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 1: classroom tea teachers who should be making one hundred and

975
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,960
Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars, and the bureaucrats should be making forty

976
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars if they should have positions at all.

977
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: But because we have this special role in society, much

978
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 1: more so than anyone else who deals with kids, a pediatrician,

979
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 1: a sports coach, babysit or anything like that. Because you

980
01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 1: deal with these kids for the bulk of the time

981
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:37,599
Speaker 1: that they're awake, most of their waking hours are spent

982
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 1: at school. We have a level of trust that's placed

983
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: in you that is above the trust we place in

984
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: pretty much everyone else. We put our most precious, most

985
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 1: valuable resources in your care for seven hours a day,

986
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: and we understand that, Okay, a kid who maybe has

987
01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 1: mental issues is going to, you know, inappropriately grop as

988
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: students or something, you have a duty to act immediately.

989
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:17,600
Speaker 1: And the fact that teachers and administrators are violating that

990
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 1: sacred duty by groping and by sexually mistreating the kids

991
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: in their care themselves boy, oh boy, That to me

992
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 1: is about the worst scandal that you could have in

993
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: a state, and to have a state superintendent and a

994
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:41,600
Speaker 1: governor refuse to answer questions. We get back to the

995
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 1: importance of local and state media. Why the hell are

996
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 1: no TV stations, no newspapers, no anybody asking Tony Evers

997
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: asking Jill Underley, as anybody asking the head of the

998
01:09:55,600 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Teachers Union, What is going on here? How did

999
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: this happen? How did we get to a point where

1000
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 1: we have got our own Catholic church pedophile priest scandal

1001
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: going on in our public school system, and nobody, it seems,

1002
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: outside of the Cap Times and conservative talk radio seems

1003
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 1: to even care. We'll be right back with more of

1004
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:26,600
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell Show next. I'm just going to do

1005
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 1: a relatively brief segment here because I do want to

1006
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: bring the unsung hero of the day. There's a very

1007
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:38,640
Speaker 1: very cool moment today while President Trump was talking to

1008
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 1: the sailors aboard the USS George Washington during his trip

1009
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: to Japan. He honored one of them for a very

1010
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,759
Speaker 1: cool act of heroism and then brought him up on stage.

1011
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that we have plenty of

1012
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: time to do that, but to just put a bow

1013
01:10:56,640 --> 01:11:01,479
Speaker 1: on the discussion. The story that we brought earlier this hour,

1014
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 1: the now former principle of MacArthur Elementary School in Germantown

1015
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 1: was fired after it was discovered he failed to report

1016
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 1: some sort of inappropriate physical contact that happened between one

1017
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 1: student and three female students. He never reported it, even

1018
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 1: though he is a mandatory reporter. He was issued a

1019
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 1: formal warning by the Germantown School Board and Superintendent, doctor

1020
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 1: Chris Reuter. It wasn't until July, however, when it was

1021
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: discovered that this same principle Gonzalez failed to fill out

1022
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: or failed to do evaluation forms on forty four different teachers,

1023
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 1: which strikes me as the entire staff in which the

1024
01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:57,479
Speaker 1: second violation of board policy led to a hearing in

1025
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 1: August that ultimately resulted in his dismissal. It's unconscionable to

1026
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 1: me that it wasn't the first violation of the mandatory

1027
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,759
Speaker 1: reporting duty of a principle. I believe Germantown in every

1028
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:17,679
Speaker 1: school district that does not have one strike and you're

1029
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 1: out for failure to notify an HR department or or

1030
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 1: whomever it is you are legally required to notify that

1031
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 1: needs to be something that you are immediately placed on

1032
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 1: administrative leave over, immediately suspended over. You don't just get

1033
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 1: a written warning. Now. Ultimately the teacher was relieved of

1034
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: his duties. But it doesn't seem to me that Germantown

1035
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 1: took as seriously as it should have the violation of

1036
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 1: the mandatory reporting law. This isn't just a policy, this

1037
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: is a law. All right, we will, as promised, bring

1038
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: you the Unsung Hero of the Day starring President Trump.

1039
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: Coming up next is the Dan O'donnald's Conservative thought not

1040
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,200
Speaker 1: just talk, and it is time now to name the

1041
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 1: unsung hero of the dad. Today's Unsung Hero of the

1042
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:22,759
Speaker 1: Day is a seaman who was honored by President Trump

1043
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:29,879
Speaker 1: today for his heroics rescuing some stranded divers. President Trump

1044
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: called out this unsung hero on board the USS George Washington.

1045
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 1: Two years ago.

1046
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:41,600
Speaker 8: Naval eric Crewman third Class James McCall was just a

1047
01:13:41,600 --> 01:13:45,799
Speaker 8: few months into his first fleet cour with the Golden

1048
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:49,599
Speaker 8: Falcons Helicopter Squadron when he and his crew were called

1049
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 8: on a search and rescue mission to find three missing

1050
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 8: Navy divers.

1051
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 5: Incredible brave guys of divers, but they were stranded at

1052
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:02,520
Speaker 5: see and right off the Japanese coast. They were exhausted

1053
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 5: and assuming they were going to die. They assumed they

1054
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 5: were going to die. But with unbelievable focus and skill,

1055
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:13,120
Speaker 5: Crewman McCall was able to find and help rescue all

1056
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:17,639
Speaker 5: three divers in the water below, saving his fellow sailors,

1057
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 5: and James is with us today as a shipmate on

1058
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 5: this career. Crewman McCall, thank you very much for your

1059
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 5: incredible bravery and we salute you.

1060
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:28,879
Speaker 2: Where is James? Where are you? James?

1061
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:32,759
Speaker 1: WHOA Come on, Jermes, get.

1062
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:33,600
Speaker 2: Up here, James.

1063
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:33,800
Speaker 6: Come.

1064
01:14:35,080 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 1: President Trump did in fact invite Crewman McCall up to

1065
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: say a couple of words. I want to say something,

1066
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 1: uh com.

1067
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 9: I just want to say I appreciate all my fellow

1068
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:58,680
Speaker 9: shipmates what I did back then in EA Cuney. It

1069
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 9: was heartbreaking for los those loved ones down there, but

1070
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,439
Speaker 9: we brought some back whenever we went down there, and

1071
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,799
Speaker 9: just God bless America and all my fellow shipmates appreciate it.

1072
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:16,519
Speaker 1: That, ladies and gentlemen, is a true American hero and

1073
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:19,680
Speaker 1: we are honored to name him our unsung hero of

1074
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 1: the day maybe Crewman third Class James McCall. Very cool

1075
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 1: moment during that speech that President Trump called him up there,

1076
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: and as he's walking up and the President can see him,

1077
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,639
Speaker 1: he said, Oh, that's a good looking son of a gun.

1078
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 1: Maybe don't come up here because you're going to be

1079
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 1: too handsome next to me. I mean, this is a

1080
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 1: president who clearly loves the troops who serve him as

1081
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,720
Speaker 1: commander in chief, and it was great that he recognized

1082
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: Crewman McCall. Okay, coming up after the top of the

1083
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: hour News, we are going to debunk some of the

1084
01:15:55,200 --> 01:16:00,040
Speaker 1: narratives that have arisen surrounding the Democrats take on the

1085
01:16:00,080 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: federal government shutdown. Yes, they actually could reopen the government

1086
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:07,719
Speaker 1: tonight if they really wanted to. And also the great

1087
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:12,200
Speaker 1: debate over freeways. We'll get into that coming up next.

1088
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:18,240
Speaker 1: Food stamps run out on Saturday, and of course this

1089
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:22,640
Speaker 1: is giving the Democrats new urgency not to vote to

1090
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:25,920
Speaker 1: reopen the federal government. No no, no, no no, but

1091
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 1: to redouble their efforts to blame Republicans for Democrats not

1092
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,719
Speaker 1: voting for a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government.

1093
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to the five o'clock hour, of the Dan O'Donnell

1094
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 1: show coming up a little later on on Monday. It

1095
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:45,640
Speaker 1: is going to be one of the longest, most extensive,

1096
01:16:45,840 --> 01:16:51,120
Speaker 1: biggest construction projects in the history of Wisconsin. The widening

1097
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: of I seven ninety four between the Marquette and the

1098
01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 1: Zoo interchange to four lanes in each direction something that

1099
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 1: quite frankly, is long overdue. There is way too much

1100
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 1: traffic for three lanes, especially since this is the stretch

1101
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 1: where you pass American Family Field on the way into

1102
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 1: downtown Milwaukee. There is just always incredible slow downs. Well,

1103
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 1: this has got a lot of the usual suspects out

1104
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: of the woodwork to say, instead of widening the freeways,

1105
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 1: we should just tear them down. No, not I seven

1106
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 1: ninety four. That's one of the good freeways, I guess.

1107
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 1: But just look at what happened when we tore down

1108
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 1: the Park East Corridor. Remember that. Yeah, that landsat vacant

1109
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 1: for fifteen years before it was sold to the Milwaukee

1110
01:17:47,439 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 1: Bucks for a dollar. It is amazing the people who

1111
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,839
Speaker 1: are so held by. Do you realize Milwaukee is still

1112
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 1: the only city to tear down a major stretch of freeway.

1113
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:06,679
Speaker 1: We're the only one. Nobody else is that stupid? Now

1114
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: they want to do it so that I don't know,

1115
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: we can have fifty thousand cars per day coming down

1116
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: Cliborne Street. Come on, come on, we'll get into that.

1117
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:26,479
Speaker 1: And why this project it's going to cost? Are you

1118
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: ready for the cost of this one point seven billion dollars?

1119
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:36,640
Speaker 1: And while we are on the subject of transportation, finally

1120
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:41,599
Speaker 1: someone with common sense. I almost named Milwaukee Alderman Scott

1121
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 1: Spiker my unsung hero of the day. With all the

1122
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 1: hand ringing about the future of the hop and this

1123
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: belief that we can't possibly abandon Milwaukee's streetcar system because

1124
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: we'd be on the hook for forty eight million dollars

1125
01:18:56,479 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: in federal grants. The Secretary of Transportation is a Wisconsin

1126
01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:06,360
Speaker 1: I Sean Duffy. Finally, Alderman Spiker got it in his head, Hey,

1127
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:11,200
Speaker 1: why don't we just ask Duffy if we could possibly

1128
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 1: work out some deal on the grant money that would

1129
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: need to be paid back to the federal government if

1130
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 1: we just abandoned this. It is now costing upwards of

1131
01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,919
Speaker 1: four to five million dollars a year for a streetcar

1132
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 1: system that has no hope of ever being fiscally solvent.

1133
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: We will get into that coming up later on in

1134
01:19:32,200 --> 01:19:34,679
Speaker 1: this the five o'clock hour Here on the Dan o'donald Show.

1148
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 1: Traffic Controllers Association Union President Nick Daniels. Today the first

1149
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:29,679
Speaker 1: day that air traffic controllers who are mandated to keep working.

1150
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 1: Of course, the planes still have to fly even though

1151
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 1: the federal government is shut down. Today is the first

1152
01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 1: day they are working without pay.

1153
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 10: So the message is simple in the shutdown today. There

1154
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:44,080
Speaker 10: is no excuse that these hardworking men and women are

1155
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 10: showing up to do this job and to not ever

1156
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 10: know when they're going to get paid again. So we

1157
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 10: need America's help. We need you to stand up, and

1158
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 10: we need you to say enough is enough in this

1159
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:57,880
Speaker 10: shutdown and ensure that we can move this forward, because

1160
01:20:57,920 --> 01:20:59,640
Speaker 10: we do not want to be up here telling you

1161
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:02,040
Speaker 10: this saund stories. We want to be up here telling

1162
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 10: you how we're moving the system forward, how we're bringing

1163
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:08,200
Speaker 10: in more air traffic controllers than ever, how we're modernizing

1164
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,960
Speaker 10: this system to serve the American people.

1165
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:16,080
Speaker 1: There is one party that has the power right now

1166
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:21,760
Speaker 1: today this second to end the shutdown. It's not the Republicans.

1167
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 1: Every single Republican in Congress has already voted to end

1168
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: the shutdown. They have voted for a clean continuing resolution

1169
01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:35,800
Speaker 1: which just continues current funding, which by the way, is

1170
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: Biden level funding. This is going back because we have

1171
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 1: had continuing resolutions dating back to before January twentieth, when

1172
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 1: President Trump was sworn in for a second term. This

1173
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:52,719
Speaker 1: is still a Biden budget essentially. Now, we of course

1174
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,439
Speaker 1: don't have budget bills which fund the government for twelve

1175
01:21:56,479 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 1: consecutive months anymore. We govern from crisis to crisis, fiscal

1176
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: cliff to funding deadline. And this is so that all

1177
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:11,759
Speaker 1: manner of ridiculous policy can be stuffed into these funding

1178
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 1: mechanisms at the last second. Well, this mechanism, this continuing Resolution,

1179
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 1: doesn't have any of that, which is why it's called

1180
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:22,719
Speaker 1: a clean continuing resolution. Why it's called a continuing resolution,

1181
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:27,320
Speaker 1: because it just continues funding for the next period of time.

1182
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: This continuing Resolution funds government until November twenty first. It

1183
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:38,559
Speaker 1: is October twenty eighth. We are going to be right

1184
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 1: back in this same spot if Democrats have their druthers. Frankly,

1185
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:49,519
Speaker 1: I think Democrats are perfectly content to keep the government

1186
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 1: shut down to inflict as much pain on air traffic

1187
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: controllers or people who rely on snap or EBT food

1188
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 1: assistance and blame Republicans. But the reality is, the inescapable

1189
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 1: reality is that Democrats are the ones who have not

1190
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:11,000
Speaker 1: voted to reopen the government. Not a single Democrat voted

1191
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 1: in the House to reopen the government. The measure, the

1192
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: Continuing Resolution, passed with one hundred percent Republican support. In

1193
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: the Senate, there are two Democrats and one independent who

1194
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:31,400
Speaker 1: have voted to reopen government. Every other Democrat voted to

1195
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:35,559
Speaker 1: keep it close for a thirteenth consecutive time today, Yet

1196
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:38,879
Speaker 1: they're going to be the ones who come November first

1197
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:43,280
Speaker 1: are screaming that President Trump needs to If he's not

1198
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: going to give into their every insane demand like LGBTQ

1199
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 1: plus funding for Kuala Lumpur, then he should at least

1200
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:06,200
Speaker 1: use some funding to pay people their food stamp money. Well,

1201
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins, whose department actually funds and administers

1202
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 1: the food Share EBT program, said we don't have the money.

1203
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 1: It's going to cost nine point one billion dollars. We

1204
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:23,799
Speaker 1: don't just have that lying around.

1205
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:28,040
Speaker 11: USDA does not have the nine point two billion dollars

1206
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 11: that it would require. There's not just pots of nine

1207
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 11: point two billion dollars sitting around. And what's particularly rich

1208
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:38,560
Speaker 11: about New York saying that, or California or any of

1209
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 11: these other blue states that have filed the lawsuit they say, oh, no,

1210
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:44,559
Speaker 11: we're going to go you guys, USDA go find the money.

1211
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 11: Is it's their very friends, partners, colleagues, Democrat elected officials

1212
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:53,800
Speaker 11: that continue to vote over and over again to keep

1213
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 11: the government closed again. Shame on them. I cannot begin

1214
01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 11: to understand what they're thinking. Even their own union, right,

1215
01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:03,680
Speaker 11: even their own federal government employee union, I don't know

1216
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 11: the exact name, is urging their own Democratic leaders to

1217
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:09,520
Speaker 11: open the government.

1218
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:14,520
Speaker 1: Back up because they understand that this is more important

1219
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:20,080
Speaker 1: than petty political disputes over Obamacare subsidies ending at the

1220
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 1: end of this year. And that's another big lie that

1221
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 1: Democrats have been telling about this shutdown, that the end

1222
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 1: of those subsidies are the reasons that healthcare premiums are skyrocketing. No,

1223
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:36,200
Speaker 1: healthcare premiums are skyrocketing because the Affordable Care Act was

1224
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:40,640
Speaker 1: never affordable to begin with. In fact, the end of

1225
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 1: the Obamacare subsidies accounts for about four percent of the

1226
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 1: total price increase set to hit Obamacare consumers at the

1227
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 1: start of the new year. And this was because of

1228
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 1: massive systemic flaws in Obamacare that we have gone over

1229
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:02,280
Speaker 1: ad nauseum for the last thirteen years. But I'll run

1230
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:06,919
Speaker 1: down very very quickly for you. Number one, essentially forcing

1231
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:10,640
Speaker 1: people onto plans and getting things covered that they in

1232
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:15,840
Speaker 1: no way ever needed. They couldn't just get the catastrophic

1233
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,759
Speaker 1: plans that were very popular with young people who really

1234
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 1: didn't have a whole lot of health care needs, but

1235
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 1: in case they're badly injured at work or something, they

1236
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 1: would need to cover them. Those plans were made illegal

1237
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 1: under Obamacare, so all of a sudden, people are being

1238
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: forced onto higher priced plans. Also, because there was a

1239
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 1: requirement that you have insurance, way more people were onto

1240
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 1: the system. You also had fewer people with these catastrophic

1241
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:50,599
Speaker 1: plans that were supporting some of the people who were

1242
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:55,040
Speaker 1: more likely to use their health insurance, older people, people

1243
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 1: with chronic conditions, that sort of thing. You also had

1244
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 1: way more peace people seeking medical services because all of

1245
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 1: a sudden they were covered. There wasn't a subsequent increase

1246
01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:12,839
Speaker 1: in the number of providers. There wasn't a massive increase

1247
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:15,719
Speaker 1: in the number of doctors or in the number of nurses,

1248
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 1: in the number of hospital facilities. In fact, quite the

1249
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 1: contrary would happened. As a result of the Obamacare reporting

1250
01:27:22,200 --> 01:27:28,680
Speaker 1: requirements and the Obamacare coverage mandates, hospital entities and companies

1251
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:36,880
Speaker 1: began to merge. This further drove up costs because there

1252
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:41,599
Speaker 1: was less competition in the marketplace, and these hospital companies

1253
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: could charge the federal government the ultimate payer whatever they wanted,

1254
01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 1: knowing full well that the bill was going to get

1255
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 1: paid regardless what the Obamacare subsidies were. Was supposed to

1256
01:27:56,920 --> 01:28:01,719
Speaker 1: be a temporary, five year stole up gap solution because

1257
01:28:01,760 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 1: so many more people were getting sick during COVID nineteen,

1258
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 1: it essentially masked the true cost of Obamacare, which was astronomical. Well,

1259
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:14,719
Speaker 1: those are expiring. Democrats want to make the subsidies permanent,

1260
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:19,920
Speaker 1: so there's never going to be a full accounting for

1261
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 1: just how unaffordable the Affordable Care Act really has been.

1262
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:29,320
Speaker 1: Republicans are saying, no, we can negotiate that once the

1263
01:28:29,360 --> 01:28:34,240
Speaker 1: government is back open past the clean cr pass a

1264
01:28:34,280 --> 01:28:39,160
Speaker 1: bill that simply opens government, doesn't have any policy preferences

1265
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 1: for either side, and will do it. Democrats have been

1266
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:52,520
Speaker 1: lying about pretty much everything, that Obamacare subsidies and Republicans

1267
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:57,200
Speaker 1: will be the reason that Obamacare premium skyrocket in the

1268
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 1: new year, that they couldn't just vote with Republicans to

1269
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:05,320
Speaker 1: reopen the government and pass a clean continuing resolution, and

1270
01:29:05,400 --> 01:29:08,760
Speaker 1: that President Trump would be able to simply wave a

1271
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 1: magic wand and have nine billion dollars in food stamp

1272
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:17,760
Speaker 1: money suddenly appear. Now there is a growing theory that

1273
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:22,840
Speaker 1: Democrats actually want November first to come and pass so

1274
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:27,479
Speaker 1: that there is widespread civil unrest with people unable to

1275
01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:31,040
Speaker 1: buy groceries. Now, if you have on your Quest card

1276
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 1: still some dollars there, it doesn't automatically disappear. If you

1277
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:37,720
Speaker 1: have been saving up some of your money, you can

1278
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,280
Speaker 1: still use that. It's just you're not going to have

1279
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:43,360
Speaker 1: more money automatically put on your card because the federal

1280
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:47,200
Speaker 1: government shut down. The theory there is that Democrats aren't

1281
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:50,400
Speaker 1: going to want people to be desperate, to be angry,

1282
01:29:51,120 --> 01:29:55,760
Speaker 1: to potentially take to the streets to protest, take to

1283
01:29:55,800 --> 01:29:58,840
Speaker 1: the streets to maybe have a couple of fiery but

1284
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 1: mostly peaceful protests and force Republicans hands because of all

1285
01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:06,120
Speaker 1: this civil unrest. Would you really put it past them?

1286
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:11,880
Speaker 1: Over the last five years, especially, Democrats have relied on

1287
01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:14,920
Speaker 1: their foot soldiers in the streets. They have been telling people,

1288
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:21,439
Speaker 1: if you're angry, take to the streets. I think they're

1289
01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 1: counting on this, frankly, and I don't think they would

1290
01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:29,400
Speaker 1: be particularly upset if people start to do so. We

1291
01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:32,680
Speaker 1: have an update about this story. We broke from Germantown.

1292
01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:36,759
Speaker 1: We got a response from the Germantown superintendent. We will

1293
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,240
Speaker 1: share it with you coming up in just three minutes

1294
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:42,000
Speaker 1: here on the Dan o'donnald's show. An update on that

1295
01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:46,440
Speaker 1: story we broke for you earlier in the show regarding

1296
01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 1: Germantown School Districts elementary school MacArthur Elementary. I guess I

1297
01:30:54,240 --> 01:31:02,480
Speaker 1: was incorrect in the principal Anthony Gonzalez or aka Tony Gonzalez.

1298
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:07,840
Speaker 1: The superintendent got back to me or district administrator. I

1299
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:12,880
Speaker 1: guess got back to me, Doctor Chris Reuter. Hello, mister O'Donnell. Jose.

1300
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez was not fired from the Germantown School District.

1301
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 1: He resigned his position as principal on August twenty fifth,

1302
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, the day before the Germantown School Board

1303
01:31:23,080 --> 01:31:25,679
Speaker 1: was scheduled to hold a public hearing to decide whether

1304
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:33,120
Speaker 1: to terminate his contract. Okay, I guess that's one. Here's

1305
01:31:33,160 --> 01:31:36,679
Speaker 1: the email I sent him, Hi, Doctor Reuter, Dan O'Donnell

1306
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:39,120
Speaker 1: with WISN Radio here, it has come to my attention

1307
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:42,360
Speaker 1: that a principal, Tony Gonzalez was recently fired from the

1308
01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:46,760
Speaker 1: MacArthur Elementary School for failure to report inappropriate physical conduct

1309
01:31:47,200 --> 01:31:54,439
Speaker 1: or contact by another student and to conduct require a

1310
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:59,599
Speaker 1: failure to conduct required teacher evaluations. Given the controversies surrounding

1311
01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 1: the apparent cover up of teacher misconduct at the Department

1312
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:05,559
Speaker 1: of Public Instruction as reported by cap Times, does the

1313
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:09,839
Speaker 1: Germantown School District have any comment on Principal Gonzales' actions?

1314
01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:16,599
Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Dan O'Donnell iHeartMedia. So his response was, well,

1315
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:21,639
Speaker 1: he wasn't actually fired. He resigned the day before we

1316
01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:27,400
Speaker 1: were scheduled to have a public board meeting to discuss.

1317
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:32,479
Speaker 1: In other words, he basically did what DPI has been

1318
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:39,880
Speaker 1: allowing teachers to do that led to this big scandal. Right, Well,

1319
01:32:39,960 --> 01:32:44,320
Speaker 1: he just resigned, so none of the dirty laundry was aired.

1320
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:48,360
Speaker 1: None of the MacArthur Elementary School parents knew what was

1321
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:52,679
Speaker 1: going on, and we just move on clean slate. They've

1322
01:32:52,680 --> 01:32:55,760
Speaker 1: got a new principal school years. Seems to be off

1323
01:32:55,760 --> 01:33:01,120
Speaker 1: to a good start. No harm, no foul. Right, Well, no,

1324
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean yes, okay, he's out of the school, but

1325
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm sorry it is there no repercussion for what appears

1326
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:17,800
Speaker 1: to be a violation of law, so he's allowed to

1327
01:33:17,880 --> 01:33:25,400
Speaker 1: resign instead of being terminated. Okay, that seems to be

1328
01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:28,440
Speaker 1: well in line with what the Cap Times was reporting

1329
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:35,479
Speaker 1: that DPI investigators were allowing teachers to resign, give up

1330
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:40,599
Speaker 1: their teaching licenses, and just have the investigations into them dropped.

1331
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:48,320
Speaker 1: This really doesn't change a whole lot. Also, we have

1332
01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 1: an update from Milwaukee Parkside Elementary School. Someone told me

1333
01:33:55,200 --> 01:34:00,440
Speaker 1: that their child noticed that what of the anti ice

1334
01:34:00,520 --> 01:34:06,040
Speaker 1: posters is back up in apparent defiance of school administration

1335
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:10,840
Speaker 1: and that evil radio host who dared to blow the

1336
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:16,639
Speaker 1: whistle on this. The student was not able to get

1337
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:19,679
Speaker 1: a picture because they were scared to take their phone out.

1338
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:24,000
Speaker 1: Let anyone figure out where Dan O'Donnell was figuring out

1339
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:30,160
Speaker 1: that they were putting up radical anti ice posters in

1340
01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:34,160
Speaker 1: this school. Folks, This I'm telling you, this is why

1341
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 1: I work so hard to try to develop sources to

1342
01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:46,240
Speaker 1: try to keep public figures and public institutions honest. Because

1343
01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:48,720
Speaker 1: if it's not me, is there anybody else? And it

1344
01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:51,479
Speaker 1: may see you on its face? Okay, it's stupid, it's

1345
01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:55,599
Speaker 1: some anti ice poster. Well, it is a very liberal

1346
01:34:55,840 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 1: Antifa aligned violent poster of a giant hand shoving an

1347
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:07,000
Speaker 1: ice agent out of a school, and no Pasaran which

1348
01:35:07,040 --> 01:35:11,360
Speaker 1: is a very Antifa slogan is written right at the

1349
01:35:11,400 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 1: top of it. And yes, it is a clear violation

1350
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:21,360
Speaker 1: of Milwaukee Public School's political signage prohibition. Is it really

1351
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:23,479
Speaker 1: ultimately the biggest deal in the world. No, but it

1352
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:27,600
Speaker 1: shows what kind of left wing in doctrination goes on

1353
01:35:27,680 --> 01:35:31,120
Speaker 1: in some of these schools. If parents don't stand up,

1354
01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:35,519
Speaker 1: and first, I would suggest go to administrators, go to

1355
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:38,519
Speaker 1: the teacher and say this is inappropriate. Go to the

1356
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:42,800
Speaker 1: school board, go to the superintendent. I would very strongly

1357
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:46,000
Speaker 1: suggest in your community, go to school board meetings. Get

1358
01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:50,480
Speaker 1: to know the school board members. You have an outsized

1359
01:35:50,680 --> 01:35:54,920
Speaker 1: voice in school district affairs just by virtue of going

1360
01:35:54,960 --> 01:35:58,120
Speaker 1: to every school board meeting, just by virtue of getting

1361
01:35:58,160 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 1: to know the superintendent of the school board.

1362
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:00,160
Speaker 3: Lord.

1363
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:06,759
Speaker 1: But you also have the ability to blow the whistle.

1364
01:36:06,840 --> 01:36:10,600
Speaker 1: And if you don't get any recourse there, go to me.

1365
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:14,040
Speaker 1: I'll make a big deal out of it, and hopefully

1366
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:21,520
Speaker 1: you'll be able to get the satisfaction, get the resolution

1367
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 1: of whatever controversy it is, whether it's some lefty Antifa

1368
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:30,120
Speaker 1: poster in the elementary school, or whether it's something as

1369
01:36:30,200 --> 01:36:35,479
Speaker 1: serious as a principle failing to report as per his

1370
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:42,720
Speaker 1: legal requirement sexual misconduct, even that committed by an elementary

1371
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:48,840
Speaker 1: school student. Now, I also received some information from a

1372
01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:54,120
Speaker 1: whistleblower who didn't want to be identified for obvious reasons,

1373
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 1: and said, like, this was going on with this student,

1374
01:36:57,400 --> 01:37:01,920
Speaker 1: apparently all year long, and that Principal Gonzales was and

1375
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:06,240
Speaker 1: teachers were turning the other way, they were intentionally looking

1376
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 1: away as this student was behaving increasingly erratically. That there

1377
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:15,080
Speaker 1: was a whole lot of assaults of not sexual assaults,

1378
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:19,559
Speaker 1: but violent assaults of students, of staff members by this

1379
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:23,240
Speaker 1: student and other students. That the building was just steadily

1380
01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:30,880
Speaker 1: going downhill. Now, how would anybody know that unless they

1381
01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:35,320
Speaker 1: were deeply involved in the Germantown MacArthur Elementary School community,

1382
01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:40,040
Speaker 1: and unless they were willing to say, look, some people

1383
01:37:40,120 --> 01:37:44,440
Speaker 1: need to know about this. Everybody in the school community

1384
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:47,320
Speaker 1: needs to know about this. And believe you me, folks,

1385
01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:50,400
Speaker 1: by virtue of me talking about this for the better

1386
01:37:50,439 --> 01:37:53,400
Speaker 1: part of twenty five thirty minutes in total, over the

1387
01:37:53,439 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 1: course of two hours of this program, everybody in that

1388
01:37:56,680 --> 01:38:00,639
Speaker 1: MacArthur Elementary community knows that this is a big issue.

1389
01:38:00,680 --> 01:38:05,240
Speaker 1: This is the real reason that Principal Gonzales was not fired,

1390
01:38:05,320 --> 01:38:12,240
Speaker 1: according to the district administrator, but he was allowed to resign. Accountability,

1391
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:15,400
Speaker 1: that's what we talk about. This is what good teachers

1392
01:38:15,479 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 1: will preach in the classroom. Accountability in the form of grades,

1393
01:38:18,400 --> 01:38:23,200
Speaker 1: accountability in the form of school discipline. It's what you

1394
01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 1: need to learn to be productive members of society, that

1395
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:30,719
Speaker 1: you are accountable for your actions, both good and bad,

1396
01:38:31,040 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 1: that there are natural consequences to what you do. Those rules,

1397
01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 1: it would seem, don't always apply to the teachers in

1398
01:38:39,600 --> 01:38:44,800
Speaker 1: school administrators, and that's where you parents come in. You

1399
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 1: were invaluable in twenty twenty in showing just what kind

1400
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:55,839
Speaker 1: of insane, out of control, radically left wing social justice

1401
01:38:56,320 --> 01:39:01,400
Speaker 1: race based school time. What lessons were being used during

1402
01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:08,680
Speaker 1: school time. Instead of teaching ABC's, we're teaching dei's. A

1403
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 1: lot of that stopped because when parents finally saw during

1404
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:17,320
Speaker 1: virtual school what was going on day to day in

1405
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:22,439
Speaker 1: some of these lessons, they said, enough is enough. That

1406
01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:28,200
Speaker 1: needs to continue, that needs to keep happening, otherwise you'll

1407
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:32,040
Speaker 1: continue to see cover ups of the worst sort of

1408
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:35,760
Speaker 1: behavior by teachers in school administrators. We dive into some

1409
01:39:35,800 --> 01:39:38,639
Speaker 1: transportation issues from the widening of I seven ninety four

1410
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:43,240
Speaker 1: to possibly the death of the hop in Milwaukee. We'll

1411
01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:47,760
Speaker 1: cover it all next This Monday, November three is the

1412
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:50,479
Speaker 1: first day of the next what eight years, of the

1413
01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 1: rest of our lives as we will be dealing with.

1414
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:57,919
Speaker 1: If we live in the Milwaukee area. If you're listening

1415
01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:01,519
Speaker 1: to us on the grade thirteen to ten Wiba and Madison,

1416
01:40:01,600 --> 01:40:04,240
Speaker 1: this isn't going to affect you all that much, except

1417
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:07,280
Speaker 1: if you're coming down for Brewers games or is something

1418
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:12,120
Speaker 1: like that. But I seven ninety four from the Marquette

1419
01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 1: Interchange straight through to the Zoo Interchange is going to

1420
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 1: be widened. There is going to be a big section

1421
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 1: of the freeway that's going to be widened. It's going

1422
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:26,320
Speaker 1: to go from three lanes to four lanes in a badly,

1423
01:40:26,760 --> 01:40:31,920
Speaker 1: badly needed upgrade. But for the next nearly one decade,

1424
01:40:32,640 --> 01:40:35,719
Speaker 1: a project that's going to cost an estimated one point

1425
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:42,599
Speaker 1: seven billion dollars is going to cause massive headaches. I'm

1426
01:40:42,640 --> 01:40:47,160
Speaker 1: not going to lie. Trying to get downtown is probably

1427
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:52,320
Speaker 1: going to be exceedingly difficult. I'm not looking forward to

1428
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:57,440
Speaker 1: it one bit. In fact, I'm actually thinking about investigating

1429
01:40:57,880 --> 01:41:02,760
Speaker 1: some helicopter technology. No, I actually you know, I've never

1430
01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:06,400
Speaker 1: been in a helicopter, and thanks to the Kobe Bryant

1431
01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:10,519
Speaker 1: crash in January of twenty twenty, I don't think I

1432
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:15,479
Speaker 1: ever will. It's just they scare the hecotomy. You just

1433
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:21,040
Speaker 1: always hear about him falling out of the sky. Although

1434
01:41:21,840 --> 01:41:25,240
Speaker 1: given the choice between having to sit in traffic when

1435
01:41:25,240 --> 01:41:28,200
Speaker 1: traffic is already nightmarish to try to get down to

1436
01:41:28,960 --> 01:41:32,760
Speaker 1: downtown Milwaukee pretty much any time of the day. Even

1437
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:35,400
Speaker 1: though the city of Milwaukee has sort of been losing

1438
01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:39,840
Speaker 1: population over the last decade to two decades, did you

1439
01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:43,080
Speaker 1: know that back in the nineteen sixties, Milwaukee was the

1440
01:41:43,240 --> 01:41:51,360
Speaker 1: tenth most populous city in the United States. Sure was. Unfortunately,

1441
01:41:51,479 --> 01:41:54,559
Speaker 1: we lost a heck of a lot of industry since then,

1442
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:57,680
Speaker 1: and population has been fleeing, but a lot of it

1443
01:41:57,720 --> 01:42:02,320
Speaker 1: has been fleeing to the suburbs. This has meant that

1444
01:42:02,360 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 1: there has been a whole lot more demand for use

1445
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:12,000
Speaker 1: of the Milwaukee freeway system, necessitating an expansion now at

1446
01:42:12,040 --> 01:42:15,759
Speaker 1: the same time, one of the busiest stretches of freeway

1447
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:21,479
Speaker 1: in the entire state, one of the busiest stretches of

1448
01:42:21,560 --> 01:42:25,760
Speaker 1: freeway in the entire Midwest, with the exception of of

1449
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 1: course most of Chicago. We have people who simultaneously want

1450
01:42:32,040 --> 01:42:37,120
Speaker 1: to tear down a stretch of freeway that cuts right

1451
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:42,160
Speaker 1: through downtown Milwaukee. Now, if this sounds like it is

1452
01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:48,719
Speaker 1: about the height of stupidity, it is. You would put

1453
01:42:49,280 --> 01:42:55,160
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands and thousands of cars per day that

1454
01:42:55,240 --> 01:43:00,160
Speaker 1: are taking the freeway through the Market Interchange East to

1455
01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:04,640
Speaker 1: go to the lakefront. You are putting them onto city streets.

1456
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:08,840
Speaker 1: What do you think that is going to do to

1457
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:12,559
Speaker 1: those city streets. We're widening the freeway to four lanes.

1458
01:43:13,040 --> 01:43:17,200
Speaker 1: Guess how many lanes are on most of Milwaukee's city streets.

1459
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:22,639
Speaker 1: Two at Oftentimes those two lanes go down to one

1460
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:26,200
Speaker 1: because there are cars parked on the side of the street.

1461
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:31,000
Speaker 1: It still boggles my mind that people think this is

1462
01:43:31,280 --> 01:43:35,840
Speaker 1: a good idea that somehow we have a high rise

1463
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 1: freeway that is above a major stretch of downtown Milwaukee.

1464
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:46,479
Speaker 1: What do you think is going to happen when we

1465
01:43:46,640 --> 01:43:49,160
Speaker 1: tear all of that down. Do you think it's just

1466
01:43:49,240 --> 01:43:54,320
Speaker 1: going to automatically immediately open up into this beautiful green

1467
01:43:54,400 --> 01:43:58,080
Speaker 1: space where we can have farmers' markets and whatever else. No,

1468
01:43:58,720 --> 01:44:03,400
Speaker 1: it's going to be at duction hellhole for probably just

1469
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:07,080
Speaker 1: as long as it's going to take to expand the

1470
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:10,599
Speaker 1: freeway to four lanes. In fact, I would argue it's

1471
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:14,719
Speaker 1: probably in order to do a demolition like that safely,

1472
01:44:15,720 --> 01:44:19,720
Speaker 1: it would probably take even longer. It would be a

1473
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:24,920
Speaker 1: massive undertaking. Now we have done it before, and advocates

1474
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:27,800
Speaker 1: of this plan. Advocates of this plan, I believe they're

1475
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:31,720
Speaker 1: called the save seven ninety four, Eliminate seven ninety four

1476
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:35,840
Speaker 1: or something with seven ninety four. They presented a plan

1477
01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:39,200
Speaker 1: some time ago to the powers that be in Milwaukee,

1478
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:44,240
Speaker 1: and the plan is taken under advisement. But I think

1479
01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:47,960
Speaker 1: even the Libs who control Milwaukee are not that dumb

1480
01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:51,479
Speaker 1: as to just tear down a major stretch of highway

1481
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:55,600
Speaker 1: through town and cause a traffic nightmare and ripple effects

1482
01:44:55,640 --> 01:45:00,960
Speaker 1: of said nightmare throughout the entire entire day downtown area.

1483
01:45:02,280 --> 01:45:06,679
Speaker 1: I just imagine during Summerfest, my goodness, you're not getting

1484
01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:09,920
Speaker 1: You'd better leave at noon if your favorite artist starts

1485
01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:14,400
Speaker 1: at nine pm, because you are not getting anywhere near

1486
01:45:15,080 --> 01:45:18,360
Speaker 1: that festival grounds, or be prepared to walk six miles.

1487
01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:23,920
Speaker 1: There are those who say, well, the Park East corridor,

1488
01:45:23,960 --> 01:45:27,519
Speaker 1: the demolition of the Park East Corridor was around the

1489
01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:31,720
Speaker 1: arousing success that led to a billion dollars in development,

1490
01:45:31,760 --> 01:45:38,760
Speaker 1: a billion dollars, and it did fifteen years later when

1491
01:45:38,840 --> 01:45:42,920
Speaker 1: the land was sold to the Milwaukee Bucks for exactly

1492
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:48,720
Speaker 1: one dollar. Taxpayers didn't directly benefit from that. The Milwaukee

1493
01:45:48,720 --> 01:45:53,160
Speaker 1: Bucks did. The Park East corridor was a moonscape for

1494
01:45:53,280 --> 01:45:58,480
Speaker 1: a decade and a half. There was nothing there forever,

1495
01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:06,439
Speaker 1: until finally the basketball team, when looking to build a

1496
01:46:06,479 --> 01:46:09,720
Speaker 1: new arena, said yes, we'll take this free land from

1497
01:46:09,760 --> 01:46:13,439
Speaker 1: the City of Milwaukee. We will develop our own Deer

1498
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:18,320
Speaker 1: district and thank you very much, will take all the profits.

1499
01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:25,479
Speaker 1: It's amazing for socialists, they really support giving a whole

1500
01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:30,479
Speaker 1: lot of free public resources to the greedy capitalists. We're

1501
01:46:30,520 --> 01:46:33,160
Speaker 1: gonna step aside for a break. We will get into

1502
01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:39,639
Speaker 1: the possible final demise of Tom Barrett's Choo Choo train.

1503
01:46:40,120 --> 01:46:44,360
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Alderman Scott Spiker, who has been a very vocal

1504
01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 1: proponent of the street car, has sent a letter to

1505
01:46:48,439 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 1: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, a former Wisconsin congressman, that might

1506
01:46:55,479 --> 01:46:59,960
Speaker 1: finally allow the City of Milwaukee to escape from un

1507
01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:04,479
Speaker 1: underneath one of the biggest boondoggles in the city's history.

1508
01:47:08,160 --> 01:47:16,559
Speaker 9: Chain on the suit you train on the back.

1509
01:47:16,600 --> 01:47:18,679
Speaker 1: In the mid part of the last decade, for reasons

1510
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 1: known only to God and Tom Barrett, Milwaukee's then mayor,

1511
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:24,200
Speaker 1: got it in his head that the thing that the

1512
01:47:24,240 --> 01:47:29,800
Speaker 1: city of Milwaukee needed was a wired streetcar system. Even

1513
01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 1: though the city had gotten rid of its last trolley

1514
01:47:33,760 --> 01:47:36,280
Speaker 1: and torn up the last tracks, gotten rid of the

1515
01:47:36,320 --> 01:47:41,600
Speaker 1: last wires in the nineteen fifties, Surely the mid two

1516
01:47:41,600 --> 01:47:45,439
Speaker 1: thousands would be the perfect time to bring it back.

1517
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 1: A fixed rail system. Yeah, why not, Just as uber

1518
01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:53,760
Speaker 1: and Lyft are taking off, allowing people to go from

1519
01:47:53,840 --> 01:47:57,599
Speaker 1: point A wherever it might be, to point B wherever

1520
01:47:57,920 --> 01:48:03,080
Speaker 1: that might be, almost in instantaneously. What we need is

1521
01:48:03,160 --> 01:48:06,639
Speaker 1: something that goes around in a little two mile circle

1522
01:48:06,760 --> 01:48:14,479
Speaker 1: that can never ever ever be altered. Ever. Well, with

1523
01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:18,839
Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars of taxpayer funds and seventy

1524
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:24,920
Speaker 1: million dollars of federal taxpayer grant money, the trolley known

1525
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:31,080
Speaker 1: as the Hop opened up in twenty eighteen, and almost

1526
01:48:31,080 --> 01:48:35,200
Speaker 1: nobody wrote it. Even though it was free, almost nobody

1527
01:48:35,479 --> 01:48:39,960
Speaker 1: wrote it. In fact, there were never really any plans

1528
01:48:39,960 --> 01:48:43,960
Speaker 1: to install fare boxes or charge even a nominal sum

1529
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 1: like a dollar because then nobody would really ride the streetcar,

1530
01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:51,200
Speaker 1: why it didn't go anywhere, and it was remarkably slow.

1531
01:48:51,240 --> 01:48:55,400
Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel even found it was faster to

1532
01:48:55,800 --> 01:49:00,439
Speaker 1: walk to a various point on the Hops line than

1533
01:49:00,479 --> 01:49:03,040
Speaker 1: it was to take the streetcar because of all the

1534
01:49:03,120 --> 01:49:07,040
Speaker 1: stops it made. Certainly a bike was faster, a car,

1535
01:49:07,320 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 1: a bus on uber, all of them much faster, much

1536
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:17,679
Speaker 1: better transportation options. But always even as it became apparent

1537
01:49:17,800 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 1: that the hop was costing taxpayers millions of dollars now

1538
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:26,240
Speaker 1: four point two million dollars a year, six point nine

1539
01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:31,280
Speaker 1: million dollars in annual maintenance costs, off set by two

1540
01:49:31,360 --> 01:49:37,360
Speaker 1: point seven million dollars in sponsorship and various other advertising revenues,

1541
01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:41,000
Speaker 1: and things like that, that the streetcar was forever going

1542
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:44,240
Speaker 1: to be, as Spiker put it, an albatross around the

1543
01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:48,240
Speaker 1: city's neck. What was always held up as a poison

1544
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:52,760
Speaker 1: pill why you could never ever tear down and abandon

1545
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:56,519
Speaker 1: the hop was the forty eight million dollars that we

1546
01:49:56,560 --> 01:50:00,599
Speaker 1: would supposedly have to pay back as Milwaukee tax to

1547
01:50:00,640 --> 01:50:05,479
Speaker 1: the federal government because the grant money wasn't, of course,

1548
01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:10,559
Speaker 1: all used on the hop, Spiker finally got the idea

1549
01:50:11,080 --> 01:50:14,439
Speaker 1: to just send a letter to the federal government saying, hey,

1550
01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:19,080
Speaker 1: Congressman Duffy, Secretary Duffy Rather, you're a former Wisconsin congressman.

1551
01:50:19,160 --> 01:50:23,120
Speaker 1: You know how stupid this thing was. Please save us.

1552
01:50:23,320 --> 01:50:26,920
Speaker 1: Can we be forgiven of our obligation to pay back

1553
01:50:26,960 --> 01:50:29,840
Speaker 1: this money? Can we just call it a sunk cost?

1554
01:50:30,080 --> 01:50:32,799
Speaker 1: And can we be done? Can you save the people

1555
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:40,519
Speaker 1: of Milwaukee from this annual budget black hole? Or in

1556
01:50:40,600 --> 01:50:43,400
Speaker 1: the alternative, can we work out a deal where some

1557
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:47,280
Speaker 1: of that money is paid back and others is forgiven,

1558
01:50:48,200 --> 01:50:50,960
Speaker 1: and can we not be penalized in seeking future grants.

1559
01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:56,160
Speaker 1: There's every reason to believe that the Department of Transportation

1560
01:50:56,320 --> 01:51:01,600
Speaker 1: would be very open to that possibility of Republican lawmakers.

1561
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:06,519
Speaker 1: Senator Van Wanguard and Assemblyman Bob Donovan today expressed their

1562
01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:11,479
Speaker 1: support for this plan. And frankly, I think I've still

1563
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:14,000
Speaker 1: got Sewan. Yeah, I do. I still have Sean Duffy's

1564
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:17,559
Speaker 1: cell phone number in my phone. Should I text him

1565
01:51:17,880 --> 01:51:21,080
Speaker 1: on behalf of the City of Milwaukee and say, hey, Sean,

1566
01:51:21,640 --> 01:51:23,759
Speaker 1: remember how you used to come on the Dan O'Donnell

1567
01:51:23,880 --> 01:51:27,040
Speaker 1: show every single Saint Patrick's day. Seriously, it was a tradition,

1568
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:29,280
Speaker 1: every Saint Patrick's Day he would be on the show,

1569
01:51:29,400 --> 01:51:33,679
Speaker 1: usually in studio. We loved having him on. How would

1570
01:51:33,680 --> 01:51:37,439
Speaker 1: you like to be the hero of all Milwaukeeans and

1571
01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:41,000
Speaker 1: allow us to get rid of this stupid streetcar system,

1572
01:51:41,439 --> 01:51:45,280
Speaker 1: or at the very least take away the excuse that

1573
01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:48,639
Speaker 1: the power brokers in Milwaukee have always put up there

1574
01:51:49,120 --> 01:51:53,120
Speaker 1: in the vain naive hope that eventually we would be

1575
01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:57,360
Speaker 1: able to expand the hop city wide so that more

1576
01:51:57,400 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 1: people could not ride it elsewhere where in the city.

1577
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:03,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what the belief is that people are

1578
01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:07,200
Speaker 1: going to ride something that is tremendously inefficient when you

1579
01:52:07,240 --> 01:52:10,240
Speaker 1: can go door to door. Why would you be dropped

1580
01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:13,280
Speaker 1: off four blocks away from the restaurant you want to

1581
01:52:13,320 --> 01:52:16,080
Speaker 1: go to when you could take an uber that will

1582
01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:19,840
Speaker 1: drop you off right in front, Especially in a city

1583
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:23,360
Speaker 1: where it's snowy and cold for like nine months out

1584
01:52:23,360 --> 01:52:28,479
Speaker 1: of the year, This never made any sense to me. Finally, though,

1585
01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:32,680
Speaker 1: Milwaukee has the hero it may not deserve, but the

1586
01:52:32,760 --> 01:52:36,559
Speaker 1: hero it definitely needs in Alderman Scott Spiker, who is

1587
01:52:36,600 --> 01:52:39,680
Speaker 1: doing what should have been done years ago and just

1588
01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:43,559
Speaker 1: asking the federal government, hey, this is not working. It's

1589
01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:48,160
Speaker 1: costing taxpayers a fortune. Clearly, the Trump administration is not

1590
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:53,160
Speaker 1: going to care about whatever environmental argument that was made

1591
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:57,760
Speaker 1: for getting this grant to begin with. Let's just end

1592
01:52:57,760 --> 01:53:00,719
Speaker 1: it all right. We are just about out of time

1593
01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:06,360
Speaker 1: here on the Dan o'donald Show. We will continue to

1594
01:53:06,520 --> 01:53:10,480
Speaker 1: update you on that developing story out of Germantown. Apparently

1595
01:53:10,640 --> 01:53:15,320
Speaker 1: there are more whistleblowers coming forward about some bad stuff

1596
01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:18,320
Speaker 1: that was going on at this elementary school, and I

1597
01:53:18,400 --> 01:53:22,800
Speaker 1: promise you I will be investigating it fully. Plus, we've

1598
01:53:22,800 --> 01:53:28,120
Speaker 1: got a big exclusive story coming tomorrow about just how

1599
01:53:28,640 --> 01:53:33,800
Speaker 1: some grant money is issued and how it's withheld from

1600
01:53:33,880 --> 01:53:39,120
Speaker 1: conservative organizations. It is a fascinating story that I have

1601
01:53:39,200 --> 01:53:41,080
Speaker 1: been working on and I hope to bring it to

1602
01:53:41,160 --> 01:53:45,280
Speaker 1: you tomorrow, big exclusive. You know you gotta listen to

1603
01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:47,559
Speaker 1: all three hours. We have a ton of fun, and

1604
01:53:47,600 --> 01:53:49,720
Speaker 1: we are back to do it all again three ZHO

1605
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:52,599
Speaker 1: six tomorrow right here on the Dan o'donald Show.
