1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: It is so good to be back Wisconsin. A pelnavey

2
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: dud to you all spent a couple of days and

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: I'll see you DoD de Mehico for my brother's wedding.

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: Congratulations once again to Pat and Hannah, the newest mister

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: and missus O'Donnell. But we are back with another three

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: hours of broadcast excellence, or at the very least broadcast

00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: competence here on the Dan o'donald Show. If you want

8

Speaker 1: to join us four one four seven nine to nine

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: eleven thirty or one eight hundred eight three eight nine

10

Speaker 1: four seven six, email me directly d Od at iHeartMedia

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: dot com, at Dan o'donald's show, on x on Facebook,

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: on Instagram, on YouTube. We are streaming live on all

13
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: of them, and we also exist in podcast form. Listen

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: to us on demand anytime with very limited commercial interruption

15
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to podcasts. Now, why

16
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: do I sound like I'm in such a good mood.

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: It's not just because I am filled with the Christmas spirit.

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: It's not just because we have got so much going

19
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: on here in Wisconsin and across the country. But once again,

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, just a week after I thought Christmas

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: came early. Now it's like Christmas, it's Easter, it's my birthday,

22
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: it's honik guy, it's I don't know any other holiday

23
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: where you get gifts all rolled into one. Because not

24
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: only did man deadbeat Barnes jump into the race for

25
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: Wisconsin governor, but my new crush, my new love, someone

26
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: whose stupidity rivals even that of Alexandria Ocassio Cortes. Jasmine Crockett,

27
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Democrat state representative, a member of Congress from the Lone

28
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: Star state, has announced that she is running for the

29
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: United States Senate. Now, she is very quickly going to

30
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: find that the state of Texas does not mirror her

31
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: very comfortably drawn district around the Houston area and the

32
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: stuff that she says, that the wondrous things that come

33
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: out of her mouth on pretty much a daily basis,

34
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: almost an hourly basis, let's face it, every time she

35
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: opens her mouth. That's probably not going to play in

36
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: a very conservative state. But my goodness, it is going

37
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: to be fun so to mark her entry into this

38
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: senatorial race. Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to throughout

39
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell show today highlight the great things that

40
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: Jasmine has said over the course of her short tenure

41
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: in Congress.

42
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: It's a segment that we call.

43
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: And now Deep Thoughts by Jasmine Crockett.

44
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 4: I do want people to know that just because someone

45
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 4: has committed a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal.

46
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 4: That is completely different. Being a criminal is more so

47
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 4: about your mindset. Committing a crime can come for a

48
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 4: lot of different reasons.

49
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: All show long Deep Thoughts with Jasmine Crockett. She is,

50
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: of course a kindred spirit of Mandela, who gave his

51
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: first major interview of his gubernatorial campaign since he announced

52
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: last week to up Front, in which he basically said

53
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: that things have sucked in Wisconsin under Wisconsin's Governor Tony Evers.

54
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Curry or black owned newspaper.

55
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 5: Law enforcement isn't up there we go, and my focus

56
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 5: is on improving life for people all across Wisconsin. During

57
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 5: my time as a lawmaker, during my time as lieutenant governor,

58
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 5: it's been focused on improving quality of life.

59
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: People have been dealt a terrible hand.

60
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 5: We're in a crisis moment and Donald Trump has made

61
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 5: things worse for people, and it is my goal to

62
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 5: do everything we can to lower costs on day one.

63
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: That is my focus.

64
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: It is making sure that our small family farmers, are

65
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 5: small business owners, and working class families in general have

66
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 5: a shot at the American dream.

67
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: So who's been in charge of the state where that

68
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: American dream has been more elusive? According to Mandela Barnes.

69
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: More importantly, who was lieutenant governor for the first four years?

70
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: Oh sure, sure, sure, Donald Trump has made things worse.

71
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: We got that man deadbeat. But would you say maybe

72
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: the governor has more control over a state policy and

73
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: has more of a direct impact on people's lives than

74
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: the president. You're gonna hear a lot of this, ladies

75
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, as man deadbeat in his first ten minute

76
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: interview must have said the word affordability or some variation

77
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: thereof at least fifteen different types. We can already see

78
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: what this theme of this gubernatorial race is going to be.

79
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: And it's rather ironic that Mandela is going to try

80
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: to win by capitalizing on Democrat failures. And this is

81
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: just sort of par for the course for Democrat politics,

82
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: and it's to essentially run against the very things that

83
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: you absolutely believe run against the policies that got us

84
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: in this mess in the first place. It was the

85
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: exact sort of big government, left wing back slapping favor

86
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: giving trillion dollars stimulus passing bureaucratic boolia bays that was

87
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: just sort of cooked into a noxious stew for the

88
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: American people at the outset of Biden's term because we

89
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: had such a massive uptick in government spending, because we

90
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: simultaneously had more money in people's pockets through a trillion

91
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: dollar stimulus and stimulus checks that weren't necessary at the

92
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: end of COVID, even though even left wing economists were

93
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: warning that this was going to be inflationary, they did

94
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: it anyway. And who was it that was sitting on

95
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: a massive pile of COVID stimmy slush fund money that

96
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: he is steadfastly refusing to spend even on expiring snap

97
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: benefits during the federal government shut down, of course, Governor

98
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: Tony Evers. In other words, man deadbeat Barnes is going

99
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: to run against Joe Biden's policies, which shark also his

100
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: policies while simultaneously trying to pin them on Republicans. Here's

101
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: the dirty little secret, Ladies and gentlemen, it has a

102
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: very good chance of working. Maybe not in Texas for

103
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett, maybe not in Wisconsin, where voters have already

104
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: rejected man deadbeat, and we see a concerted effort it

105
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: seems by his year to four allies in the mainstream

106
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: to actually cost him the Democrat nomination. But do not

107
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: be surprised if it works nationwide, Ladies and gentlemen. We

108
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: had President Trump today in an economic roundtable announcing a

109
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: big round of stimulus. We've apparently learned nothing to farmers.

110
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: These are checks that are coming out of the tariff

111
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: benefits that President Trump has been touting.

112
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: I will, of course.

113
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: Talk about that in the even handed way that I

114
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: have been approaching President Trump's tariffs. Well, I understand the

115
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: economic benefit and geopolitical benefit of them.

116
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: I still believe.

117
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: Look, folks, I am a supply sider, I am a

118
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: free trader, and I understand basic economics and understand also

119
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,559
Speaker 1: that tariffs are always a bad idea. But I always

120
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: have the caveat that the goal is to try to

121
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: reduce tariffs on American goods going into foreign markets. So

122
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: I understand what President Trump is doing geopolitically.

123
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: Now there is.

124
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: A big, big difference between Mandeadbeat Barnes and the way

125
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: he is being treated in the media and the way

126
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: that Jasmine Crockett is being treated, And frankly.

127
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: I'm a little surprised by it.

128
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: Up until about forty five minutes ago or so, the

129
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: top story at jsonline dot com, the website of the

130
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was by Craig Gilbert, and it essentially

131
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,119
Speaker 1: amounted to Mandela Barnes would be defying a half century

132
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: of history here in Wisconsin if he were to win

133
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: the gubernatorial election now in a vacuum, this wouldn't really

134
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: be all that noteworthy. Craig Gilbert, believe it or not,

135
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: is a very fair minded guy. Yes, I do believe

136
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: that he is a Democrat. I believe he votes Democrat.

137
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: But when he does voting analysis, when he does electoral analysis,

138
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: he does a very very good job. Lest you think

139
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: I only blast left wing media outlets, I also heap

140
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: praise upon them when it's warranton. I think Craig Gilbert

141
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: is very worthy of praise. He actually did a very

142
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: good deep dive into candidates who lose big statewide races

143
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: and then try to come back. Of course, we hear

144
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: at the Dan o'donald show have been doing this exact

145
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: analysis for several years in trying to tell people, do

146
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: not nominate Tim Michaels, do not nominate Dan Kelly. Nothing

147
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: against those guys. I like them tremendously, But when you

148
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: lose statewide, you do not win. This doesn't just happen

149
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin. There's a reason that Donald Trump was the

150
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: first president since Grover Cleveland to lose a reelection bid

151
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: and then come back and win again. So the story

152
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: by Gilbert is interesting enough in and of itself, but

153
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: it comes on the heels of the Milwaukee Courier, of

154
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,479
Speaker 1: black owned news that one would think would be completely

155
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: supportive of Mandela Barnes endorsed him wholeheartedly in twenty twenty two,

156
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: but it came out before he announced his candidacy and

157
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: essentially said, Mandela, we're not behind you this time. You

158
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: messed up a race that nobody thought could lose in

159
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two.

160
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: You did it now.

161
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: This came just a day or two after The New

162
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: York Times nationally wrote a story quoting both named and

163
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: unnamed Democrats and saying, hey, we're real nervous about Mandela

164
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: getting in for the exact same reason, because he lost

165
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: a race like Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen that no

166
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: one thought he could lose. So here's Gilbert today at

167
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: jsonline dot com. Barnes is trying to follow a high

168
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: profile election loss with a high profile election win. Historically,

169
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: that's a rarity in Wisconsin. In fact, no one has

170
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: done it in more than fifty years. I went back

171
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: and looked for every case of a Wisconsin politician who

172
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: lost a major November election and then sought high office again.

173
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: I considered only campaigns for governor and US Senate because

174
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: these are easily the most important and attention getting elections

175
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: short of president. I found nine examples in the past

176
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: half century. In each case, the attempted comeback failed. You

177
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: need to go all the way back to nineteen seventy

178
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: to find a successful comeback. As I've defined here. That

179
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: was the year that anybody remember, Patrick Lucy was elected

180
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: governor after losing the same office to Republican Warren Knowles

181
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: four years earlier. Lucy was again elected in nineteen seventy four.

182
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: The last comeback before that involves the astonishing career of

183
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: a Wisconsin political legend Democrat Bill Procksmeyer. He lost three

184
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: general elections for governor in nineteen fifty two, fifty four,

185
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: and fifty six when governors served two year terms before

186
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: winning six Senate elections in a row, star in the

187
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty seven special election held after the death of

188
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: Joe McCarthy. Now, again, this is a valid article. I'm

189
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: not saying that this in and of itself is a

190
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: hit piece on Mandela Barnes, because it is. It is

191
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: an interesting history lesson and I actually read it all

192
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: the way through and I was fascinated because as a

193
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: student of Wisconsin history in Wisconsin politics, this sort of

194
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: thing is like catnip to me. But these sorts of

195
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: articles don't just appear in a vacuum, and they don't

196
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: get placed as the top story on the most important

197
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: news website short of of course, news Talk eleven thirty

198
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: dot com and Wiva dot com in the state of

199
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: Wisconsin without there being a reason for this.

200
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: And the reason is found later on in the article.

201
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: Fairly or Not.

202
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: Barnes twenty twenty two defeats will figure in his twenty

203
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: twenty six campaign. Even before he announced, Democratic activists were

204
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: debating his potential candidacy, and that has a link to

205
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: the New York Times story, and that debate centered on

206
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: what his twenty twenty two defeat signifies about his twenty

207
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: twenty six electability. If you're a Barnes supporter, you can

208
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: point to the fact that he lost by only a

209
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: single point to Johnson in twenty twenty two. You can

210
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: argue that some national democratic and liberal groups wrote off

211
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: his prospects prematurely. You can note that it's extremely difficult

212
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: to defeat an incumbent senator like Johnson who belongs to

213
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: the out party, the party opposed to the sitting president.

214
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: History shows they rarely lose.

215
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: Because they enjoy the benefits of incumbency without the baggage

216
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: of being tied to the party in power. No incumbents

217
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: in either party lost the Senate election in twenty twenty two.

218
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: If you're a Barnes skeptic, you can argue Barnes lost

219
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: a very winnable race based on Johnson's clear vulnerability reflected

220
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: in Johnson's negative poll ratings, and is ultimately narrow victory margin.

221
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: You can also point out that Barnes lost in twenty

222
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: two twenty two while fellow Democrat Evers won a three

223
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: point victory for governor on the same Wisconsin ballot. You

224
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: can question why your party should nominate someone coming off

225
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: a high profile defeat in a big winnable race when

226
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: other candidates are available in a very crowded field.

227
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: Yikes.

228
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: That essentially is the same article that was written in

229
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: the New York Times and in the Milwaukee Courier. And

230
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: in his appearance on Upfront yesterday, Jaren Jordan actually asked

231
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: Barnes about the Milwaukee Courier, essentially turning off.

232
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 6: The Milwaukee Courier, black owned newspaper, which endorsed you in

233
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 6: your twenty twenty two Senate run, recently said this about you.

234
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 6: Mendela had his opportunity, he didn't close, and that means

235
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 6: it's time for a new chapter. We need a candidate

236
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 6: who can unite the state and win. Mendela showed us

237
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 6: he can't. How do you respond to that.

238
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 5: Well, they did support me in the general election, and again,

239
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 5: I don't take a single vote for granted. I've spent

240
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 5: my time oranizing trying to increase voter turnout, not just

241
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 5: in Milwaukee, all across the state, but specifically where we

242
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 5: have seen a decline in black voter participation since twenty twelve.

243
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 5: It's something we sought to remedy. And in the last

244
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 5: three elections, the two Supreme Court races, in the presidential race,

245
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 5: we saw a steady increase in voter turnout in Milwaukee.

246
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: Milwaukee have the highest.

247
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 5: Voter turnout of the fifty largest cities in.

248
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 7: The entire country. I'm proud to have been a part

249
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 7: of that.

250
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 2: Why do you think they wrote that value?

251
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's starting to tell, you know, some

252
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 5: people have, you know, favors, and that's fine. This is

253
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 5: a primary election. I think that people should have options.

254
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 5: I think that is the beauty of democracy. I truly

255
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 5: think these kind of primaries are healthy because we get

256
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 5: to express ideas and most importantly, express a vision.

257
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry, man, did be The Milwaukee Courier expressed

258
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: its vision perfectly clearly, and it didn't express a preference

259
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: for a favorite candidate. It expressed a preference for you

260
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: not being the candidate. There's a big difference. It's not

261
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: as though the Milwaukee Courier through all of its eggs

262
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: in the Sarah Rodriguez basket. The Milwaukee Courier came out

263
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: right after the New York Times, right after all of

264
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: the power players in the Democrat Party made it okay

265
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: to do so through anonymous or even named quotes to

266
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: The Times, they made it okay for them to come

267
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: out and say, no, we don't want Mandela. This article

268
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: by Craig Gilbert in the Milwaukee Journal sent and I

269
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: assume it's going to appear in tomorrow's edition of the paper, or,

270
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: given the recent history of the Milwaukee Journal cent i'll

271
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: probably appear in print sometime in the next two weeks.

272
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: The reason that this gets a position of prominence is

273
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: because this is an increasingly common fear of Democrats. This

274
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: is why they don't want Mandela running, because they don't

275
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: believe he can win a general election, just like Jasmine

276
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: Crockett down in Texas. They believe that the twenty twenty

277
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: two election was proof positive that Mandela Barnes cannot win,

278
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: especially when he is not running in a high profile

279
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: Senate election where there's going to be tens of millions

280
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: of dollars coming in from outside the state. Oh sure,

281
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong.

282
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: JB.

283
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: Pritzker and George Soros and Reid Hoffman and the usual

284
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: cast of out of state billionaires are going to power

285
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: tons of money into this race, but he's not going

286
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: to have that institutional advantage that he did in twenty

287
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: twenty two of trying to unseat the single biggest target

288
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 1: for Democrats in that year, which was Ron Johnson. We

289
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: are going to as a theme of today's show, sort

290
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: of explain the world according to Mandela and Jasmine Crockett

291
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: and sort of tie the two together because there are

292
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: some significant parallels there and there are as a result,

293
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: some significant perils for Democrats. We'll talk about that and

294
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: much more in just three minutes here on the Dan

295
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: o'donald's show. Merry Christmas from all of us here at

296
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald's show. Yes Christmas did come a little early.

297
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: As one of our all time favorites here on the

298
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: show is about to get a whole lot more publicity.

299
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 3: And now deep thoughts by Jasmine Crockett.

300
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 4: Law enforcement isn't to prevent crime. Law enforcement solves crime, Okay,

301
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 4: that is what they are supposed to do. They are

302
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 4: supposed to solve crimes, not necessarily prevent them from happening.

303
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 4: Per Se.

304
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: I love how she toss the per se in there

305
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: to try to sound way more intelligent than she actually is.

306
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: All show long deep thoughts by Jasmine Crockett. She is

307
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: essential Texas's Mandela Barnes because Barnes has the same idiotic

308
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: views about law enforcement that she does, and in truth,

309
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: the entire left flank of the Socialist Democrat Party does.

310
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: Zorn Mamdani Mandela Barnes AOC Jasmine Crockett.

311
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: They have the exact same.

312
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: Beliefs, and a big one is not just defunding the police.

313
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: This is how they sort of got away with the

314
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: true radicalization that they engaged in in twenty twenty. The idea, well,

315
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: we just need to cut a little bloated police budget,

316
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: so we need to reimagine policing. No, what they did

317
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: was to decriminalize crime. In fact, they undid roughly twenty

318
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: five years of progress in the span of about eight

319
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: months after the nineteen ninety five Crime Bill, authored by

320
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,959
Speaker 1: one Joseph R. Biden and signed by one William W.

321
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 2: William J. Clinton.

322
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: Boy, how could I forget that his middle name was Ja.

323
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: My goodness, the guy's initials were B J. For goodness sakes,

324
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,959
Speaker 1: that's like the easiest initials to remember for Clinton. It

325
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: was signed by Clinton. It was championed by Hillary who

326
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: called young black males super predators.

327
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: It was all undone.

328
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: Now we don't have the massive crime rates, the out

329
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: of control criminality that we had in the bad old

330
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: days of the seventies, eighties and early nineties. But we

331
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: have seen a generational spike over the past five years

332
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: because of people like Crockett and Mamdani and Barnes who

333
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: were actually able to gain power, maybe not at the

334
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: Senate or gubernatorial or mayoral level, but at every level

335
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: of the criminal justice system, where police departments weren't just gutted.

336
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: District attorney's offices were explicitly instructed not to file criminal

337
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: charges to quote unquote no process crimes that were referred

338
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: by police. When there were actual criminal charges filed, they

339
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: were inevitably reduced, pleaded down, and judges simply refused to

340
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: hand out any meaningful prison time. Not only that, you

341
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: had a massive issue of witnesses refusing to show up

342
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: to court and juries actually going so far as to

343
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: what one of them did in Washington a couple of

344
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: days ago to nullify jury. Nullification became a big thing.

345
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: There was a guy who is actually going to be

346
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: convicted of a crime for attacking somebody, but after the crime,

347
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: after the assault was committed, the victim used the N word.

348
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: The jury felt as though that was enough justification, that

349
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: was enough self defense that they let the obvious attacker off.

350
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: All of that was coming together in the name of

351
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: black lives matter. And who was championing all of it

352
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: why none other than man dead beat Barnes.

353
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 2: Now.

354
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: On his interview on up Front over the weekend, he

355
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: was challenged on this, and in fact, the co host

356
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: Jaren Jordan brought up a clip that was on this

357
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: show of Congressman Tom Tiffany in all likelihood, the Republican

358
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: nominee for governor, in which Tiffany's called Barnes what he is,

359
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: a radical defunder who has made this country less safe

360
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: because of the policies that he and other people in

361
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: positions of power like him share. Barnes continues to deny

362
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: that he ever wanted to defund the police.

363
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 5: He made it very clear, I don't support defunding the police.

364
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 5: I want to make sure that our communities and our

365
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 5: law enforcement officers have the resources they need.

366
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: To keep our community safe.

367
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 5: And I'm not going to have the issue of crime

368
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 5: explained to me because I have felt this very deeply

369
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: and very personally.

370
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: Okay, this is a classic tactic of the left, and

371
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: I want to point it out before he gets into it.

372
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: He's not going to talk about anything of substance. He

373
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: is going to try to appeal to your emotion by saying,

374
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: will you can trust me on crime? Because I had

375
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: friends who got killed.

376
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 5: I have lost friends to gun violence, lost my first

377
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 5: friend to gun violence my freshman year high school. And

378
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 5: this has been a refrain that has not stopped in

379
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 5: my life. There has been more friends than I care

380
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 5: to count. My story is not unique. There are so

381
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 5: many others across the state and across this country who

382
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 5: have had to deal with that pain. And that's one

383
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 5: of the main reasons I ran for office in the

384
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 5: first place.

385
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: Okay, when I was growing up, one of my best

386
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: friend's sisters died of Hodgkin's disease. Does that make me

387
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: a healthcare expert? You see what he tries to do,

388
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: and this actually works, ladies and gentlemen for the left.

389
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: This actually works on left wing voters, or it works

390
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: on people who don't really think about these issues all

391
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: that seriously, But what he was trying to do is

392
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: deflect from a major vulnerability of his campaign and really

393
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: the major vulnerability of Democrats this election cycle, yet again,

394
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: as evidence by the fact that they want to thwart

395
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement operations at every chance they get. They

396
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: don't want ICE to deport dangerous criminals, They want dangerous

397
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: criminals still walking about America's streets because they believe that

398
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: those criminals and the people who care about those criminals,

399
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: inasmuch as anyone actually does, could potentially vote for Democrats.

400
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: Now they do this, of course, cloaked in the American flag,

401
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: and that they are the people who care about civil

402
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: rights and civil liberties. Pardon me if my eyes don't

403
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: roll completely into the back of my skull that the

404
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: same people who were shutting down pretty much all speech

405
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: and locking people in their homes just five years ago

406
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: because of COVID nineteen they suddenly care about civil rights

407
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 1: and civil liberties.

408
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 2: Okay, but the notion.

409
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: That Mandela Barnes didn't support defunding the police is countered

410
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: by pretty much Mandela barnes entire public life.

411
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 5: Do you agree that police budgets should be maybe completely

412
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 5: done away with or defunded, not completely done away with.

413
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 5: We need to invest more in neighborhood services and programming

414
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 5: for our residents, for our communities on the front end.

415
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 5: Where will that money come from. Well, it can come

416
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 5: from overblowated budgets and police departments.

417
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: Oh well, you see, he doesn't want to completely do

418
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: away with the police as an institution. He just wants

419
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: to significantly reduce their budgets. In fact, he even said

420
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: during that interview in twenty twenty two.

421
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: It's not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing.

422
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: Like when library budgets get.

423
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 5: Cut, the funding is necessarily as aggressive as as a

424
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 5: lot of folks paint it. You know, the school budgets

425
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 5: get cut almost every year. The arts budgets get cut

426
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 5: almost every year. You know, music programs, all these programs

427
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 5: see budget cuts, unfortunately, and it's the result that's a

428
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 5: part of the reason why we are where we are,

429
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 5: because our youth don't have the outlets that they once

430
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 5: had to express themselves.

431
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: My goodness, what's old is new again? That also from

432
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two new ish again? We just need more

433
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 1: midnight basketball. I can remember this when I was growing up.

434
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: It's the same variation of a tired old refrain. We

435
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: don't need to dump resources into law enforcement because, as

436
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett said in one of her deepest deep thoughts,

437
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: they don't prevent crime. Law enforcement does not prevent crime.

438
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: They only solve crimes. We need to take money out

439
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: of those budgets, and we need to fund things like

440
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: midnight basketball. I always thought that was sort of racist,

441
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: that if you just let's placate the criminals, many of

442
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: whom happened to be black, they like basketball right now.

443
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: The real issue, the real reason they did this was

444
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: because you could essentially lock kids in the gym, you

445
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: would have police officers there. I went to my fair

446
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: share of midnight basketball events in the suburbs where I

447
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: grew up. I can't imagine that midnight basketball did anything

448
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: to reduce crime. What reduced crime was flooding America's streets

449
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: with police officers, having a visible police presence, which absolutely

450
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: does reduce crime. You want me to prove it to you.

451
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: I was in Mexico City for the past five days

452
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: for my brother's wedding. Right we stayed in a very

453
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: well to do area. In fact, I can't prove it,

454
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: but we think bad Bunny was staying in the hotel

455
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 1: next door to ours. We were staying at a JW. Marriott,

456
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: very very nice hotel, but there was like a super luck,

457
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: super rich one right next door. My brother happened to

458
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: be not the one who got married, the other one

459
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: who lives here. He was walking outside and took a

460
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: picture and a video of just a throng of people.

461
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: And apparently Bad Bunny is playing a series of concerts

462
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:27,239
Speaker 1: in Mexico City. We never felt unsafe walking around to

463
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: trust me, Bad Bunny is not going to the barrio

464
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: in Mexico City's going to a very wealthy area. Why

465
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: did I not once feel unsafe in what has been

466
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: over the past four decades five decades one of the

467
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: more dangerous major metropolitan areas in the world because there

468
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: was a massive police presence. I am not kidding you

469
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: when I say after dark there were two police officers

470
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: on every street corner, and the Mexican Army was just

471
00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: sort of rolling around in jeeps, machine guns always at

472
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: the ready. Nobody is daring to pull anything there because

473
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: there is a visible presence.

474
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: It deters crime.

475
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: It prevents crime because who is going to try to

476
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: stick up a tourist in front of a machine gun

477
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: toting federally. But it's this notion, it's this idea that

478
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: we can just divert resources away from the things that

479
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: are actually proven to stop crime, like in the mid

480
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: to late nineteen nineties flooding the streets with police officers.

481
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: California even enacted a three strikes and you're out law

482
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: taking dangerous criminals off the streets. This is not rocket science.

483
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: And this is what Americans, after five years of the

484
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: defund the police decriminalized crime movement, have understood intrinsically. And

485
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: this is why the Democratic Party has got to be

486
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: sweating bullets about the impending nominations of both Man Deadbeat

487
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: Barnes and Jasmine Crockett.

488
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: Will discuss that next boy.

489
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've just been an extra good

490
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: boy this year and Santa is giving me absolutely everything

491
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: on my Christmas list.

492
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: But just a week after.

493
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: Man dead Beat Barnes follows Francesca Hong into the race

494
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: for Wisconsin governor, just giving me endless, endless hours of content,

495
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: we have the Texas Tornado herself, Jasmine Crockett announcing today

496
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: she is running for the US Senate in twenty twenty.

497
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 3: Six, and now Deep thoughts by Jasmine Crockett.

498
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 8: So I have to go around the country and educate

499
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 8: people about what immigrants do for this country or the

500
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 8: fact that we are a country of immigrants right right.

501
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 8: The fact is, ain't none of.

502
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 2: Y'all trying to go a farm right now?

503
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 8: Okay, So I'm lying, raise your hands.

504
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 5: You're not You're not.

505
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: We done.

506
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 9: Pick a kite.

507
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: Oh, She's the gift that just keeps on giving, ladies

508
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. This has the potential to be a big,

509
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: big problem for Democrats who are trying to make people

510
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: forget already about Zohan Mamdani, the mayor elect of New York,

511
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: who just put out a video either yesterday or today

512
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: basically doing what every Wisconsin Democrat has been doing for

513
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: the past six months now, and that is telling illegal

514
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: aliens in his city how to evade capture by Ice.

515
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: He happens to have better attorneys, I think, than Judge

516
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: Hannah Dugan or Governor Evers, who put out a clearly

517
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: unlawful memo instructing people in state agencies to essentially trap

518
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: ICE agents in a conference room while they allow all

519
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: of the illegal immigrants who work in said state agencies

520
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: to run out the back door, which prompted me after

521
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: he put out that memo in April, to ask, and

522
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: I think I was the only one in this state

523
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: who was asking the absurdly logical question, why is this

524
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: guidance necessary? How many illegal aliens are employed by the

525
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: state of Wisconsin under Governor Tony Evers. The issue for

526
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: Democrats is that Tony Evers, as decrepit, an old sixties

527
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: radical as he is, is sort of the face of

528
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: the moderate Democrats. And when you rip off the mask

529
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: of the kindly old pickleball playing uncle Tony, you get

530
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: mandeadbeat Barnes, you get Jasmine Crockett, you get Zorn Mamdani.

531
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: This is a big problem for Democrats because while Mamdani

532
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: can easily win in a place like New York City,

533
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: well man deadbeat Barnes can easily win in a place

534
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: like Milwaukee, Jasmin Crockett can easily win in her district

535
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: in the Houston area. You put them in a broader

536
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: electorate and they're going to get smoked. That ladies and

537
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: gentlemen is pretty much, I hate to say it, the

538
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: only hope that Democrats are Republicans, I should say, probably

539
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 1: have of Democrats not retaking control of the House of Representatives.

540
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: The numbers just are not in Republicans favor, and neither

541
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: is history. Democrats fortunately are I think, I think, sort

542
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: of resting on their laurels and they're just already counting

543
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: their ballots before they've been dumped off at three am.

544
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: They think they can run whomever, and in fact they

545
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: are going to clear the decks. You're already seeing it happen.

546
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: A very popular Democrat by the name of Colin Alred

547
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: is not running for Senate because Jasmine Crockett is. Why

548
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: because he's clearly been told, like every Democrat was in

549
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, that this is Jasmine Crockett's race to run.

550
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: This was Mandela Barnes's race to run in twenty twenty two.

551
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: In what still boggles my mind as one of the

552
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: most head scratching moves of all time. While early voting

553
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: was going on, just about a week or so before

554
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 1: the primary vote in August of twenty twenty two, the

555
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: Democrat Party came in and told all of the major

556
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: non Mandela Barnes candidates to get out. Sarah god Luski

557
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: as well as Alex Lazri.

558
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 2: They were both forced out of the race.

559
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: God Luski was rewarded a couple of months later by

560
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: getting the Secretary of s state position in what was

561
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: clearly a rather corrupt bargain, not in the strictest sense

562
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: of the phrase, but there was rather obviously a quid

563
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: pro quo that was going on there. The Democrat Party

564
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,919
Speaker 1: says to Sarah god Lusky, Sarah, get out of this race.

565
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: You're not going to run for Senate, but if you

566
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 1: get out, we will reward you. Doug Lafollett, after being

567
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:29,399
Speaker 1: elected for the fifty fourth consecutive term, immediately retired and

568
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 1: Governor Evers filled his spot with Sarah god Luski. Now

569
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: do you think that just sort of happens, No, it doesn't.

570
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: How do you think Mayor Pete Bootagic went from being

571
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: the mayor of South Bend, Indiana to the transportation secretary

572
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: because he dropped out when the party told him to

573
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty presidential primary. Same sort of deal

574
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, and now Democrats are making that

575
00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: same mistake, telling candidates who are more likely to win

576
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: in a state like Texas in what figures to be

577
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 1: a Democrat year to get out of the race. In

578
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: favor of the more radical Jasmine Crockett. Here's the thing,

579
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Democrats, they're not doing that this time with Barnes.

580
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: Took off for Mexico City very very early Wednesday morning,

581
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: So I missed a whole lot of Hugh Jackman mania

582
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: last week. Producer Eric and I were talking about it

583
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: during the commercial break. There are just some people who,

584
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: it seems were born to be movie stars. I don't

585
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: think in watching so I was on the plane and

586
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: just kind of watching an interview we did with Bob

587
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: and Bryan, and he was at the.

588
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 2: School of the Arts.

589
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: He was serving custard at cops, big smile on his face,

590
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: just easy going, incredible personality. I don't think I have

591
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: ever seen a human being with more charisma. Some news

592
00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: about Song Sung Blue, the adaptation of the documentary some

593
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen years ago about Lightning and Thunder. The Neil

594
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: Diamond Patsy Kleine, married duo Kate Hudson, was just nominated

595
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: for a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Thunder.

596
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 5: Germany. Ouff is dangerous because he's evil America.

597
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: We're not gonna lie.

598
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: I am probably going to see Song Sung Blue very

599
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: very quickly after its release. I really really want to

600
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: see I'll talk about more about it in a bit

601
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 1: unhinged liberal Who else could it be to play us out?

602
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: Jasmin Crosse.

603
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 4: I do want people to know that just because someone

604
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 4: has committed a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal.

605
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 4: That that is completely different. Being a criminal is more

606
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 4: so about your mindset. Committing a crime can come for

607
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 4: a lot of different reason.

608
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: And Merry Christmas to one and all. We are now

609
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: just seventeen days from the big day. Welcome back to

610
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald's Show. We are just a couple of

611
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: days away from the deadline this Friday. At the end

612
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: of this show, we are going to have to cut

613
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: off entries for the Dan o'donalds Show Christmas Special. We

614
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: do this every year. I'm sure you've been hearing our

615
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: commercials for it. We have been asking for you to

616
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: submit your kids, your grandkids musical performances. There is no audition.

617
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: We feature kids regardless of skill level, regardless of age.

618
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: In fact, some of the absolute cutest performances that we

619
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: feature are from our youngest performers, many of whom can

620
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 1: barely talk but can already sing and we have already

621
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: got a ton of great s missions every year I

622
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: think about just because of the sheer amount of work

623
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: it takes to put this show together, about just saying okay, okay,

624
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: I just I don't have the time to do this,

625
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't have the energy to do this anymore. And

626
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: then I start hearing the submissions, and folks, nothing will

627
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: put you in the Christmas spirit, truly, nothing quite like

628
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: hearing a little boy or girl sing their heart out

629
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: completely off key to deck the hall.

630
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 2: Now I'm kidding.

631
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: We've got some amazing talent, and we do want to

632
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: hear from your choirs, your choruses, your bands, your orchestras.

633
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: If you're a director, if you're a principal, if you're

634
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: a teacher, if you're somebody who can submit on behalf

635
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: of a school or an orchestra, whatever it is, please

636
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: do so because we love those performances as well. The

637
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: only real rules we have are got to be a

638
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: kid if you're eighteen years old, senior and high school.

639
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: In fact, I was just thinking about something my own son,

640
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: my oldest. This is going to be his last year,

641
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: This is going to be his swan song, because he's

642
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 1: eighteen senior in high school.

643
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 2: Hard to believe.

644
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: And folks, let me tell you, it goes so quickly.

645
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 1: I was listening to earlier performances from my own kids,

646
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: and when we started this in twenty twenty. We started

647
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: it because there was just no place obviously for people

648
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 1: to perform, and we said, you know what, let's have

649
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: our kids. They've been practicing all year, Let's have them

650
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: perform on the radio. No COVID restrictions, no nothing. The

651
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 1: following year, maybe it was the year after we opened

652
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: it up to listener children, and it sort of took

653
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: off from there. But I went back and I listened

654
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 1: to the very first year we had our kids read

655
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: Twas the night before Christmas, and I don't even recognize

656
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: those voices anymore. That was just five years ago, folks.

657
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm telling it goes so fast, cherish every I never

658
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: fully appreciated it when parents of older children would tell me,

659
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,959
Speaker 1: when you know, I was twenty five when my wife

660
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: and I had Nick, I had no idea of that.

661
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: Now I've got an adult, and it just every Christmas,

662
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: every holiday season.

663
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 2: I know it's hard, it's a ton of work.

664
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: Do the Christmas special right, put up the Christmas lights,

665
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: take the kids to a Christmas carol play, do that

666
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: extra thing, because I'm telling you, just it is so quick.

667
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: You blink and they don't want to do that stuff anymore.

668
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 1: Right, you blink and suddenly it's not the greatest thing

669
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: in the world that the Elf on the shelf has

670
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: returned to keep an eye on them for the Christmas

671
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: season right at Saint Nick filled their stockings. It's it's

672
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: not bad. No, no, no to please don't misunderstand. It's great. Actually,

673
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: it's just it's different, and I'm loving every second actually

674
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: of the kids growing up.

675
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 2: And besides, besides, we don't need them anymore.

676
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: We got a puppy, so you know, we're like already

677
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 1: empty nesters. It was a joke that we were so

678
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: excited to get home, primarily because we wanted to see

679
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 1: the puppy. In any event, my point is share your

680
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: kids singing or playing their musical instrument record as much

681
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 1: as you can have that be like a time capsule.

682
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 2: We do have the show.

683
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: It is available as a podcast and it is going

684
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 1: to be available forever. So please, please, please please please

685
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: get those entries in by Friday, the deadline.

686
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 2: We want to feature your kids.

687
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: We really true do and try to keep those performances

688
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: to two minutes or less. I do want to get

689
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: into songs sung blue because I sort of missed the

690
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackman Fest and Kate Hudson today nominated for a

691
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: Golden Globe for her portrayal of Thunder. Claire Sardina, who

692
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: is at the premiere, still looks as radiant as ever.

693
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,919
Speaker 1: Lightning unfortunately passed Oh Boy a while ago, right about

694
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, fifteen twenty years ago. Mike, No, for

695
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:37,760
Speaker 1: those asking I was. I think I met Mike one time,

696
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: and I don't remember ever seeing them perform. But I'll

697
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: tell you just by watching the trailer. I was invited

698
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: to the premiere on Tuesday night. I unfortunately could not

699
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: make it.

700
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 2: I had to pack.

701
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: We left at like four am Wednesday morning to go

702
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: to my brother's wedding. But there's just something, you know.

703
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: I talk a lot about Wisconsin culture, and I talk

704
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: about how great it is, and it's something that we

705
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: should celebrate as we share it with the world. Lightning

706
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: and Thunder and Kate Hudson's spot on cut a hey accent,

707
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I would give her the Academy Award

708
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,800
Speaker 1: for Best Actress, Just for nailing that accent.

709
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 2: All right, Christmas did come early.

710
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: Here in the O'Donnell Household, Jasmine Crockett announcing today she's

711
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:25,719

Speaker 3: Senate and now deep thoughts by Jasmine Crockett.

713
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 8: We have a Timu Hitler and the White House right

714
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 8: now that thinks that he is going to become the

715
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 8: dictator of the United States.

716
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of Timu Hitler, time now for your daily

717
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: Trump Date.

718
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 10: We're gonna win so much you may even get tired

719
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 10: of winning.

720
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: Just keeps waiting. It is a win for the administration.

721
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 3: It's also a big win for the United States.

722
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 2: We have to keep winning. We have to win. Bar

723
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna win. Ladies and gentlemen.

724
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: It is that time in the show where we get

725
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,879
Speaker 1: you up to date on all things Trump. White House Today,

726
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: big announcement at an economic roundtable event, President Trump pledging

727
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: twelve point five billion dollars in payouts to farmers from

728
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 1: the tariff dividend.

729
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 10: Lighted to announce this afternoon that the United States will

730
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 10: be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions

731
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 10: of dollars we receive in tariffs. We are making a

732
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 10: lot of money from countries that took advantage of us

733
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 10: for years. They took advantage of us like nobody's ever seen.

734
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 10: Our deficits are way down because of tariffs. I guess

735
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,760
Speaker 10: because of the election, because without the election, you wouldn't

736
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 10: have tariffs. Sh'd be sitting here losing your share. But

737
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 10: we're taking in billions. We're really taking in trillions of

738
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 10: dollars if you think about it, Scott, because there real numbers,

739
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 10: you know, when you think of all the money being

740
00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 10: poured into the country for new auto plants and all

741
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 10: of the other things. AI. So what we're doing is

742
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 10: we're taking a relatively small portion of that and we're

743
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,760
Speaker 10: going to be giving and providing it to the farmers

744
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 10: in economic assistance. And we love our farmers, and as

745
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 10: you know, the farmers like me because based on voting

746
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,959
Speaker 10: trends you could call it voting trends or anything else,

747
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 10: but they're great people. They are the backbone of our country.

748
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 1: Couldn't have said it any better myself. I mean, when

749
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: we talk about Wisconsin culture, agriculture is a major major

750
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: part of it.

751
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: Now.

752
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: One of the big outstanding items in President Trump's teriff

753
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 1: regime has been the ever elusive trade deal with China.

754
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: Now it does look as though the relationship is thawing

755
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,479
Speaker 1: just a little bit, as President Trump and President Shi

756
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: Jin Ping met in South Korea, and President Trump today

757
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 1: touted a new soybean deal that arose from that meeting.

758
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 10: Since my successful meeting in South Korea with Presidency, purchases

759
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 10: have been made and soybeans are being exported out of

760
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 10: the United States to China as we speak. And I

761
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 10: say that our soybeans, I told this to President g

762
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:24,360
Speaker 10: our soybeans are more nutritious than competitors. Somebody said, is

763
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 10: that a Trump statement or is that real?

764
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: In fact?

765
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 10: You know, ask me that question.

766
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 2: President Chi as me that question.

767
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 10: He said, really, I had never heard of him, and

768
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 10: he was a food purchaser for a long time. But

769
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 10: that's what I hear.

770
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 1: You got to love that. Is that a Trump statementor

771
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: is that real?

772
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 6: That?

773
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, your daily Trump date. It's time now

774
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: to know the difference between financial advisors. As we bring

775
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: in Dave Spono, the CEO of Annex Wealth Management, and

776
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: President Trump. There, Dave talked about AI as the United

777
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: States is poised to be a global leader and President

778
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,720
Speaker 1: Trump has really been pushing this to be the global

779
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: leader in AI development, as well as the development of

780
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: smart robotics, next gen robotics to power the manufacturing sector

781
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 1: that he wants to bring back here to the United States. Now,

782
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: I said that I traveled to Mexico City got back

783
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: very late. Now, maybe it was because I was a

784
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: little bit loopy, but I watched most of Megan two

785
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: point oh on the plane last night. Dave, do you

786
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: know what Megan two point oh is? It's It's not

787
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: an upgrade to my wife. I have not replaced her

788
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: with Oh.

789
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 11: Don't say that, but yeah, so I'm sure it's there.

790
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 11: Was Megan right the first AI movie?

791
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 7: Yep, so two point oh is it?

792
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 5: Yes?

793
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:50,879
Speaker 2: It was. So.

794
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: Meghan was sort of a cultural phenomenon in twenty twenty

795
00:48:54,520 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: three because it's about this murderous AI doll and looks

796
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 1: like a little girl and commits heinous murderers. It was

797
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: sort of it was done with a wink and ey.

798
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: It's actually a very very well done movie in the

799
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: camp horror genre, where it's sort of like Scream in

800
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:16,879
Speaker 1: that it's self referential. It knows the premise is ridiculous,

801
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: but the sequel. Actually, the concept is the psycho killer

802
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 1: doll gets reprogrammed to be good to fight another psycho

803
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: killer doll. Yes, the doll is trying to take over

804
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: the world, but embedded in it, Dave, is actually a

805
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: very serious, i think, almost hardwired fear of technological advance

806
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: that a lot of people have.

807
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 2: And to tie that into what it is.

808
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: That we talk about, do you believe that that is

809
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: sort of pardon the pun, artificially suppressing the AI market

810
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: even as we've seen it sore to heights previously unheard

811
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: of of, that people are still.

812
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 2: Nervous that we need to control quote.

813
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: Unquote AI lest we have a Megan three point zero

814
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: scenario on our hands.

815
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 11: Well, the story that you're setting up is so right

816
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 11: on because as we are talking breaking news, Trump has

817
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 11: signed a deal to allow Nvidia, a MD and Intel

818
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 11: to sell chips to China.

819
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 7: Really, and so the reason why, yes, I can see.

820
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: That this is rare that someone else breaks news to me, Dave,

821
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:35,760
Speaker 1: well done.

822
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 7: I'm so sorry that I'm doing that in the DoD Show.

823
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 11: But I'll tell you why it's relevant is because you

824
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 11: know he's going to lower the tariffs.

825
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 7: Goes back into your Trump Minute.

826
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 11: And the reason why it is is because the people

827
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 11: are thinking that AI, once in the wrong hands, could

828
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,960
Speaker 11: be used for data theft, for IP theft, and it

829
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 11: was just you know, you have three point zh as

830
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 11: you put.

831
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: It, con that's actually that's that's I'm sorry, I'm sorry up.

832
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: That is essentially the premise of Megan two point zero.

833
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: And that's sort of the premise of the matrix and

834
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: terminator and all these that that it's not necessarily that

835
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: there's going to be like killer terminator style robots. It's

836
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: that these things embedded in codes can take down entire

837
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 1: power grids relatively easily.

838
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

839
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 11: Right, So there's not only that there's the tech theft, right,

840
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 11: You've got real concerns about corporate espionage and that's this

841
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 11: has been around.

842
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 7: This is not new news.

843
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 11: Right, And so this global race for AI is going

844
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 11: to be part of that, and it's going to be

845
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 11: China is going to be in the middle of it

846
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 11: with the United States, and so, uh, you know, I

847
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 11: didn't see Megan two point zero. But there has to

848
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:51,319
Speaker 11: be oversight, there has to be regulation that embodies what

849
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 11: can happen unless AI spirals out of control, and so

850
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 11: that is the reason why it is so interesting that

851
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 11: we're talking about this and at the same time I'm

852
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 11: there's breaking news to sell our chips to China, because

853
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 11: you know, Trump has really laid this on that he

854
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 11: wants to prioritize the US maintaining AI dominance, right, And

855
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 11: you saw this last month with this Genesis mission.

856
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 7: Have you seen this? This?

857
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 11: This is this is really coming out in the chip companies,

858
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 11: the tech companies are all going to be beneficiaries of that.

859
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 11: And Joe Rogan himself said last week or he had,

860
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 11: he had Jensen Wang for the CEO of Nvideon, and

861
00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 11: that ceo said, Trump has saved the AI in the industry.

862
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, so all of this is together well and not

863
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: only that, and not only that, Dave, I mean this

864
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: this seems to be I mean, this is probably going

865
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: to be spun as like, oh well this is this

866
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: is China walking all over Trump and they're going to

867
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: win the AI race. No, this this strikes me, along

868
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: with the soybean deal that was also announced in.

869
00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:00,280
Speaker 2: This trade some of today health healthier, healthier, so here

870
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 2: and this not a Trump statement, it's a true statement.

871
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: I love that, But this also signals I think that

872
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 1: we are probably going to get a more comprehensive deal

873
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 1: with China, maybe a little sooner than people might have thought.

874
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,359
Speaker 2: There's the tea leaves there.

875
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, I agree that there's a thought and that's happening,

876
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 11: and you know there's more to it. Of course you're

877
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 11: going to have to have you know, this National Economic

878
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 11: Council has got to be they've got to talk about

879
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 11: these things. Trump is doing these things. But there is

880
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 11: political risk, right because you've you've framed it out. What

881
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 11: if the concerns are that people are either going to

882
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 11: that AI is going to take jobs or they're going

883
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 11: to do some things that is going to reduce employment

884
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 11: and not make them more efficient.

885
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 7: So there is is a dual edged sword.

886
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 11: But Trump is leaning in on this in a big

887
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 11: way on AI, and I think there's a lot of

888
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,760
Speaker 11: story to be told and I think there's an investment

889
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 11: opportunity to come from it in twenty twenty six.

890
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely.

891
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: And for that and to talk about end of year

892
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five issues, you really do need to talk

893
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: to Dave and his incredible team at Annex Wealth Management.

894
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: Annexwealth dot Com is the website at a review of

895
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 1: your portfolio really understand what it is you own. Are

896
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 1: you prepared to capitalize on the AI boom? Are you

897
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: prepared just in case there is something of a bubble

898
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: and it bursts?

899
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 2: Are you prepared tax wise? Is your estate planning?

900
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: All of these questions are why you need to head

901
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: to annexwealth dot com. President Trump blew up at a

902
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 1: reporter and it was very funny, admittedly, but I think

903
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: it's indicative of even the president whistling past the graveyard

904
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 1: a little bit ahead of twenty twenty six, that story

905
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: coming up in just three minutes. You'd think by now

906
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: we would run out of Jasmine Crocketts soundbites.

907
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 10: Ron.

908
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 3: And now deep thoughts by Jasmine Crockett.

909
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 9: We are not gonna sit around while you go ahead

910
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 9: and desecrate our constitution, or you look at the laws

911
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 9: that have been passed into law and say never mind,

912
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 9: we'll just ignore that. Instead, we are gonna be in

913
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 9: your faith, We are gonna be on your asses, and.

914
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 2: We are gonna make sure.

915
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:34,880
Speaker 9: We're gonna makee sore. You understand what democracy looks like.

916
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 8: This ain't need.

917
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: H I do love her, sadly, Crockett is right. She

918
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: announced today that she is running for the US Senate.

919
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Dan O'Donnell show. Democrats are gonna

920
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: be or excuse me, Democrats are gone beyond your asses, Republicans.

921
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: And I think even the President doesn't quite understand what

922
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: is potentially coming. During his economic forum this afternoon, he

923
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: got into it with the reporter who admittedly was not

924
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: prepared for the question that she was asking the President.

925
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: It was very clearly asking a loaded, biased question about

926
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:23,160
Speaker 1: how badly Republicans are going to get shell ACKed in

927
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 1: the mid terms. And Trump called her on it, but

928
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: kind of embedded in there is I think even President

929
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: Trump not recognizing how fraught the political climate is.

930
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 2: And I just have a quick question.

931
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 9: There's at least twenty House Republicans who have either said

932
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,239
Speaker 9: they're going to retire or not run again.

933
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 10: Democrat and Democrats. Why did you mention them? How many

934
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 10: Democrats are going to how many? Well, tell me the

935
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 10: number of Democrats?

936
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 2: Do you tell me about narrow margins?

937
00:56:57,480 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 10: And no, I'm hocketcerted. I think we're going to do

938
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 10: well and we will have the greatest economy, considering we

939
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 10: have the greatest economy in history. How many Democrats are retiring?

940
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 10: How hope you only know the Republicans but not the Democrats.

941
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 2: Prepared to ask you a question about.

942
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 10: No, No, you're unprepared, because you should know the Democrats. You're

943
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 10: totally unprepared follow.

944
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 4: I'm with New York news Day, and I also have

945
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 4: a quick follow up. Congresswoman at least Uponic is among

946
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 4: those who is running for your governor, Bruce Blakeman, who

947
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 4: also great.

948
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 7: Are you planning on making any.

949
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 10: Endorsements about it? But he's great and she's great. They're

950
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 10: both great people. We have a lot of great people

951
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 10: of the Republican Party. Go ahead.

952
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 2: That was great.

953
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: Uh, It's always good to see and hear President Trump

954
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: put reporters in their place. And admittedly, New York news Day,

955
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,439
Speaker 1: by the way, is a very left wing news site.

956
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: It was at one point, I believe Eve a physical paper.

957
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: Now it just exists. It's newsday dot com, and it

958
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: is very left wing. And I understand where she was

959
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: going with this question. In truth, Republicans have just a

960
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 1: five seat margin, and Marjorie Taylor Green is leaving the

961
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: House in just a couple of weeks, shortly after the

962
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: Christmas holiday. Republicans do not have a margin for error.

963
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: The number of retirements is at least according to Grock,

964
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: where I was able to figure out Grock. Of course,

965
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: the AI that is run by Elon Musk and X,

966
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: which by the way, I find to be not just

967
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: because I'm a big Elon and X fan. I've used

968
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 1: all of them, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, I know we're

969
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: guaranteed human. This is not yet a humanoid Megan two

970
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: point zero situation on this show.

971
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 2: It's not Dan two point zero.

972
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: But I do use GROC to augment some of my research,

973
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: and just very quickly, I was wondering, as I was

974
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 1: listening to President Trump live this afternoon, how many total

975
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: retirements are there?

976
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 2: And he is right.

977
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: In the House, there are twenty three Republicans who have

978
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: either announced that they're leaving politics or they're running for

979
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: a different office, they're giving up their seat. So Tom

980
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: Tiffany would be included in that number, even though he's

981
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: not leaving politics. He is leaving his seat to run

982
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: for governor of Wisconsin. Twenty three Republicans, seventeen Democrats. But

983
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: in the Senate you have got a significant number of

984
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 1: Republicans and just a couple of Democrats who are leaving office.

985
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: Now these are in states where it's not going to

986
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: matter that the math just overwhelmingly figures or favors the incumbent.

987
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: What President Trump though, was doing, is I think what

988
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: a lot of US conservatives are doing and have ahead

989
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: of big Democrat years. Twenty eighteen and rather unexpectedly twenty

990
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: twenty two not so much a big Democrat year, but

991
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't nearly as big a Republican year as we

992
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:22,919
Speaker 1: had all hoped it was. There was no red way,

993
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: there was barely a red ripple, barely a house advantage

994
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 1: following twenty twenty two that only slightly increased in twenty

995
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: twenty four, although Republicans were able to retake the White

996
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 1: House as well as the United States Senate. There's a

997
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 1: tendency still to say, well, I don't believe the polls. Okay,

998
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: don't believe the betting markets. The betting markets have been

999
01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: proven over the last couple of election cycles to be

1000
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: remarkably predictive. Right now, Polymarket, which is probably the best

1001
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 1: known Calshi is up there predict It is another one

1002
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 1: where you can buy shares in a potential event happening,

1003
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: i e. You can buy for twenty one cents right now,

1004
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 1: Democrats winning control of the House. That means, or excuse me,

1005
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: Republicans retaining control of the House. That means there is

1006
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: basically an eighty percent chance that Democrats are able to

1007
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 1: win the House. Now, this is natural, this is normal,

1008
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 1: This isn't some unexpected event. But lest we believe that

1009
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: just because Democrats are nominating crazier and crazier and crazier

1010
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 1: candidates like Zorn Mamdani, like Mandela Barnes, like Jasmine Crockett,

1011
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: they may well fall short. I'm not saying that just

1012
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 1: because he's got a D next to his name in

1013
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 1: a big Democrat e or at least what is shaping

1014
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: up to be a big Democrat year, that Mandela Barnes

1015
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 1: is going to win. In fact, I think the exact opposite.

1016
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: I think if they nominate Mandela Barnes, I think he

1017
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 1: is going to lose. And that's why we opened up

1018
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: the show with what I believe to be newsworthy. And

1019
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: this is why I hope you listen to this show,

1020
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, because you get things that you don't

1021
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 1: get elsewhere in politics.

1022
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 2: This story.

1023
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 1: Craig Gilbert to the journal centerel A jsonline dot Com.

1024
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: This story does not run, and it certainly doesn't run

1025
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: as the lead story on a Monday afternoon saying, hey,

1026
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: by the way, Mandela Barnes is trying to do something

1027
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: that no one in Wisconsin politics has done in five decades,

1028
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: and that's win a statewide race after losing one. That

1029
01:02:51,320 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: story doesn't just happen, It gets put in a position

1030
01:02:56,440 --> 01:03:04,439
Speaker 1: of prominence because it is an attempt to tell Democrat voters, hey,

1031
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: you cannot nominate someone as radical as Barnes. Barnes' entire stick,

1032
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 1: his entire persona feels like it's in a time warp

1033
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty. The American electorate has changed. Mandela Barnes

1034
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: is the essence of the excesses of.

1035
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:25,480
Speaker 2: The Black Lives Matter era.

1036
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: Defund the police, decriminalize crime, raise taxes on everybody, all

1037
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 1: in the name of social justice, all in the name

1038
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:42,960
Speaker 1: of racial and demographic grievances that, of course, can only

1039
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: truly be solved by voting Democrat. There was a massive

1040
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 1: rebuke of that in twenty twenty four. I don't know

1041
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: if you notice that, and once again Trump was able

1042
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: to capitalize on it because he was essentially running as

1043
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:02,919
Speaker 1: the outsider. He was running through as the brick through

1044
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 1: the window of the establishment that had grown out of

1045
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: touch with the American electorate. Well, now now you've got

1046
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: a very real problem, and Democrats can very easily win

1047
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 1: by failing, because people are comparing the price they're paying

1048
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: right now for pretty much everything. As you're going to

1049
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 1: buy Christmas gifts, you've undoubtedly noticed that the price for

1050
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 1: pretty much everything is way more expensive than you remember paying,

1051
01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: but not last year, six years ago. Finally, you see

1052
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: Democrat allies in the media are focused on the issue

1053
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: of affordability, and they're making you believe, or at least

1054
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 1: they're making the gullible among the electorate believe that all

1055
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 1: of these price increases just magically happened in the last year.

1056
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, my goodness, look at how much prices

1057
01:04:54,880 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: are up. Well, they're up because Democrat policies pushed them

1058
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 1: way up. And now Democrats are running on those same

1059
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: exact policies, and they're running candidates who are even farther

1060
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: to the left. Remember, Democrats were petrified back in twenty

1061
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: twenty that Bernie Sanders was going to win the presidential nomination.

1062
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: They forced everybody else out of the race to essentially

1063
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 1: hand it to dementia Joe Biden. You've got a new

1064
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 1: generation of Democrats who are farther to the left than

1065
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: even the people who are actually running the country. While

1066
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: Biden was president in name only. The only real chance

1067
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 1: that Republicans have in holding on to the majority in

1068
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: the House, holding on to winnable races like we have

1069
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: here in Wisconsin is to constantly, and I mean constantly,

1070
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 1: hammer on Democrats as being the ones who are responsible

1071
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 1: for the fact that you can to ford anything that

1072
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, hey, Mandela Barnes, he was Lieutenant governor during

1073
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 1: the time all of the inflation took place. When price

1074
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: is skyrocketed, Donald Trump was in exile following twenty twenty

1075
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: and January sixth, Democrats had total control over everything. Inflation

1076
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 1: only started to come down when Republicans retook control of

1077
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives. It's only coming down now because

1078
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: we have control of the government and you're still seeing

1079
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 1: the residual effects of Biden policy. You can't get inflation

1080
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: out of the economic system without a shock to it.

1081
01:06:43,480 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 2: That shock is usually a recession.

1082
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: But of course we couldn't plunge the nation into a

1083
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 1: recession before the twenty twenty four election because Democrats would

1084
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 1: not have a single prayer, so we tried this soft landing.

1085
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 2: And now I think.

1086
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: That the Fed and policymakers have just sort of unfortunately said,

1087
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: all right, you know what, maybe inflation, maybe high prices

1088
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:13,560
Speaker 1: are inevitable, but high prices and the reaction to them,

1089
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: when they were rightly being blamed on Joe Biden and

1090
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: Democrats is now going to unfortunately hurt Republicans because they

1091
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: are the people in power. And now what you're going

1092
01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 1: to see, I believe, over the course of the next

1093
01:07:27,360 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 1: eleven months, is the media hyper focus on how nobody

1094
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 1: can afford anything. And this is rather paradoxically going to

1095
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: push especially younger voters to the left as they say, well,

1096
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: it's not my fault, I'm doing everything right. It is

1097
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: the entire capitalist system's fault. You're listening to the Dan

1098
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 1: o'donald show. Merry Christmas, We'll be right back. Welcome back

1099
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: to the Dan o'donald Show. It is conservative thought, not

1100
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:07,680
Speaker 1: just talk. Welcome back to it. Golden Globe nominations are

1101
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:13,320
Speaker 1: out and Kate Hudson has got a Golden Globe noom

1102
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:19,879
Speaker 1: for her role as Claire Sardina in song Sung Blue,

1103
01:08:19,920 --> 01:08:24,879
Speaker 1: which of course had a premiere in Milwaukee. Hugh Jackman

1104
01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 1: was snubbed unfortunately, as he did not get a nomination.

1105
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 1: He of course plays Lightning with.

1106
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 6: All right.

1107
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:43,600
Speaker 1: He played Lightning in the biopic that is set to

1108
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 1: be released this Christmas about Lightning and Thunder Mike and

1109
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 1: Claire Sardina, and I unfortunately was one of the few

1110
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 1: people who did apparently not see Hugh Jackman around Southeast Wisconsin.

1111
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: And yes, I am one of those who feels like

1112
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 1: we missed a massive opportunity by not getting a picture

1113
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:10,880
Speaker 1: with Wolverine and the Milverene, although I am convinced the Milverene,

1114
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,680
Speaker 1: the guy who just sort of walks around shirtless and

1115
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: kind of looks like the comic book character Wolverine, was

1116
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:22,280
Speaker 1: entirely created by on Milwaukee dot Com and the only

1117
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 1: people who really care about the Milverene are on Milwaukee

1118
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 1: dot Com writers and editors. If you don't know who

1119
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 1: the Milverene is, google Milverene, and I guarantee the first

1120
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 1: five articles about him will be from on Milwaukee dot Com.

1121
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 1: I am absolutely convinced of it. You don't think media

1122
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 1: bias is real on Milwaukee dot Com has the most

1123
01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: promilverene bias of any publication in the known universe. Bit

1124
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:58,639
Speaker 1: of a snub there can can you check?

1125
01:09:58,800 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 2: Eric?

1126
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:04,440
Speaker 1: I did Songs Sung Blue? Really not get a nomination

1127
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: for Best Picture Musical or Comedy was the only major

1128
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 1: nomination for Kate Hudson. She won back in two thousand

1129
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 1: and one for her first major film role in one

1130
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: of my favorite films. It's still my and my wife's

1131
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 1: film Almost Famous. If you haven't seen it, go see it.

1132
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: You will not regret it. I'm telling you, Almost Famous,

1133
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:31,680
Speaker 1: released in twenty twenty five years ago this past September

1134
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 1: October somewhere in there one of the best films of

1135
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: the entire century. The only nominee at the Golden Globes

1136
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 1: was for Kate Hudson, primarily because she did an absolutely

1137
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,839
Speaker 1: pitch perfect Milwaukee accent.

1138
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, absolutely flaw it.

1139
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: Now everybody knows Hugh Jackman is an Aussie and he

1140
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 1: does a great American accent. The man is just insanely talented.

1141
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen Greatest Showmen, that's one of the

1142
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: best musical films I think of this century. There's actually

1143
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 1: a rather interesting debate going on on social media right now. Avatar,

1144
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 1: Fire and Ash, the third film in the Avatar franchise,

1145
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 1: is going to be released the weekend before Christmas. It's

1146
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 1: going to make a bajillion dollars. It just came out

1147
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 1: today actually, that the production budget on Avatar, the third

1148
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: Avatar movie, James Cameron directing, was four hundred million dollars.

1149
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: It's probably going to make two billion dollars. But can

1150
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 1: you name a single line of dialogue from either of

1151
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 1: the first two Avatar films. Avatar is still the biggest

1152
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: highest grossing film of all time. It was passed very

1153
01:11:55,439 --> 01:12:00,559
Speaker 1: briefly by the final Avengers movie, Avengers Endgame in twenty nineteen,

1154
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:04,439
Speaker 1: but then re releases of Avatar ahead of the sequel

1155
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,679
Speaker 1: coming out pushed it back into the all time number

1156
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:12,160
Speaker 1: one box office chap. Avengers Endgame was something of a

1157
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 1: cultural phenomenon. Titanic, the previous record holder before Avatar in

1158
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, was a bonafide cultural phenomenon. Was

1159
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:29,440
Speaker 1: Avatar Now, for that matter, the debate on social media,

1160
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 1: can you name a classic iconic piece of pop culture

1161
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: from the last decade? Do we really create classic iconic

1162
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:49,559
Speaker 1: pieces of pop culture. Think about Christmas movies, it's a

1163
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:53,600
Speaker 1: wonderful life miracle on thirty fourth Street. If you're my generation,

1164
01:12:53,800 --> 01:13:00,080
Speaker 1: Christmas vacation Home Alone, which just celebrated its thirty fifth anniversary.

1165
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 1: How old am I? I can actually remember watching Home Alone

1166
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: in theaters. Came out when I was nine, eight nine,

1167
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 1: somewhere in there.

1168
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 2: Elf.

1169
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 1: Probably the last real classic Christmas movie was Elf two

1170
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:17,080
Speaker 1: thousand and three.

1171
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 2: Why is it that.

1172
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:24,840
Speaker 1: We don't and it's not just film, name a television

1173
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 1: show since let's say Game of Thrones, which was really,

1174
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 1: I think the last water cooler show. There's no sopranos,

1175
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: there's no breaking baths that are coming out.

1176
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 2: I actually have a theory on this.

1177
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 1: It's because we don't have traditional storytelling. In the same

1178
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: there's no gender. Roles are completely subverted. Heaven help you

1179
01:13:54,840 --> 01:14:01,000
Speaker 1: if you have a princess who needs rescuing. Okay, every

1180
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:04,920
Speaker 1: girl has to kick more butt than the boys in battle,

1181
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 1: which is just it's absolutely ridiculous. You'll see Gladiator, for example,

1182
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:14,160
Speaker 1: or Brave Heart from thirty years ago. If that was

1183
01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:18,600
Speaker 1: made today, you would have a woman fighting right alongside

1184
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: William Wallace and probably fifteen different black Scots in his

1185
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 1: army takes you right out of the misson scene as

1186
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 1: it's called. It kills your suspension of disbelief. Not only that,

1187
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 1: to have the traditional sort of hero's journey, it's been

1188
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:50,120
Speaker 1: labeled fascist, So now you sort of have these hapless

1189
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: We don't even have anti heroes anymore, like Walter White

1190
01:14:54,880 --> 01:15:00,639
Speaker 1: breaking bad Tony Soprano from The Sopranos. We don't have

1191
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 1: that classic level of storytelling anymore. And I'm convinced because

1192
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 1: we've got a generation that doesn't see rugged individualism, i e.

1193
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 1: The classic hero's journey as something worth celebrating or something

1194
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: worth writing about.

1195
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:19,480
Speaker 2: So now.

1196
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:25,800
Speaker 1: We get just left wing slop. Everybody is fearing the

1197
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 1: AI apocalypse when it comes to creative writing and storytelling

1198
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: and movie making. If it's going to actually come up

1199
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:39,600
Speaker 1: with Lord of the Rings or something from a generation

1200
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 1: ago that holds up on a rewatch, I'm all for it.

1201
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: If the robots are going to take away the lefty

1202
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 1: screenwriters and lefty director jobs, i am absolutely one hundred

1203
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 1: percent all for it if again we get classic storytelling.

1204
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what, I am really.

1205
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: Looking forward to songs Sung Blue, primarily because it's ultimately

1206
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:10,040
Speaker 1: a story about Wisconsin culture. You're listening to the Dan

1207
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 1: o'donald Show. Coming up after the top of the hour,

1208
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: news the Supreme Court tries to hamper ice operations. Final

1209
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:25,559
Speaker 1: hour of the Dan o'donald Show on this the eighth

1210
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 1: day of advent seventeen days until the big day, Christmas Day,

1211
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:35,639
Speaker 1: and we wish everyone in our listener family, affectionately known

1212
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: as Dan Nation, a joyous and blessed Christmas season.

1213
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 2: Happy holidays to one in all.

1214
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 1: And when I say happy Holidays, I don't mean it

1215
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 1: as like the liberal let's not say Christmas. I mean

1216
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 1: all of them, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanuka, New Year's. It is

1217
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 1: the most wonderful time of year. And I hope you

1218
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 1: enjoy it with friends and family. And I hope you

1219
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:05,799
Speaker 1: get those submissions together for the Dan O'Donnell Show Family

1220
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 1: Christmas Special. Deadline is this Friday. We unfortunately are not

1221
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 1: going to be able to take any entries after that.

1222
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:17,439
Speaker 1: It does take a long time to put this show together,

1223
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: and that's pretty much what I do for the next

1224
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:25,560
Speaker 1: week and a half is put together all of the submissions,

1225
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:28,439
Speaker 1: order them into something that works. It is going to

1226
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:34,480
Speaker 1: be a two hour show that is premiering on Wednesday Wednesday. Tuesday, Tuesday,

01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: and then the big day, Christmas Day Thursday, December twenty fifth.

1229
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,639
Speaker 1: The show is going to air multiple times on both

01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve and Christmas Day on our flagship station News

1231
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:53,280
Speaker 1: Talk eleven thirty wis and interspersed amongst the Christmas carols

1232
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 1: and classic Christmas plays.

1233
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 2: We have been doing this for the better part of

1234
01:17:58,520 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 2: thirty years.

1235
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 1: Now Miracle on thirty fourth Street a Christmas carol as

1236
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:08,200

1238
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 1: performing as well, so be sure to send those video

1239
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 1: or audio files to d D at iHeartMedia dot com.

1240
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: I have sort of stopped counting how many entries we've

1241
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: gotten so far because it is a ton to recap

1242
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 1: all the stuff that happened today. Big news politically, Jasmine

1243
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 1: Crockett is in. She is running for the US Senate

1244
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:42,760
Speaker 1: in Texas.

1245
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,960
Speaker 3: And now deep thoughts by Jasmine Crockett.

1246
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:53,240
Speaker 4: But as somebody who understands history, when I see Ice,

1247
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 4: I see slave patrols. Now, I never live through the

1248
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 4: slave patrol period, but if you know the history of

1249
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 4: police in this country, then you understand that they were

1250
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 4: born as a slave patrolls.

1251
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 1: No, they absolutely were not, in fact policing in America.

1252
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 2: It's a charming story. Do you know.

1253
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:22,440
Speaker 1: Eggnog actually led to policing in this country? The infamous

1254
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:27,599
Speaker 1: Eggnog Riot at West Point in the early eighteen hundreds

1255
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:32,479
Speaker 1: or late seventeen hundreds convinced nearby New York City that

1256
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: it needed a standing police force. Basically, West Point recruits

1257
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 1: got drunk off of eggnog that they smuggled in for

1258
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 1: a Christmas party, and they barricaded themselves up in the

1259
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 1: dorms and they wouldn't allow anybody in, they wouldn't come out,

1260
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:54,640
Speaker 1: and that the city had no way to disperse the riot. So,

1261
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 1: in a very real way, what became known as the

1262
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:01,280
Speaker 1: Eggnog Riot led to the formation one of the very

1263
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:04,719
Speaker 1: first city police departments, The New York Police Department.

1264
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 2: Had nothing to do with slavery.

1265
01:20:07,280 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: In fact, there were police forces in cities dating back

1266
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:15,800
Speaker 1: to antiquity. This may shock you. Jasmine Crockett has no

1267
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 1: idea and she's talking about neither two does Mandela Barnes,

1268
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: who in that interview with up Front, We'll get a

1269
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 1: cut for you. Later on in the show, he was

1270
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:31,080
Speaker 1: asked about whether there would be cooperation with ICE in

1271
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 1: a Barnes administration.

1272
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 2: Now this comes.

1273
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 1: After the Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed to take up a

1274
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 1: case challenging the legality of honoring iceholds. Last week, after

1275
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 1: I left for my brother's wedding in Mexico City, the

1276
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: Supreme Court agreed to hear a lawsuit filed by the

1277
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:58,720
Speaker 1: American Civil Liberties Union or ACLU on behalf of who

1278
01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:04,439
Speaker 1: Else Vosis Dave Fronterra. The suit targets sheriff's and sheriff's

1279
01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: departments in five counties Walworth, Brown, Marathon, Kdosha, and Sok

1280
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 1: that routinely honor ICE detainers. Plaintiffs argue that complying with

1281
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:19,600
Speaker 1: those detainers amounts to an unlawful new arrest under Wisconsin

1282
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 1: state law, as local officers lack authority to detain people

1283
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: for civil immigration violations without a court issued warrant. The

1284
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:34,479
Speaker 1: left has been going nuts over this notion that an

1285
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 1: administrative warrant from ICE lacks validity.

1286
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:42,480
Speaker 2: Oh do we do? We do okay. Here is Mandela

1287
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,280
Speaker 2: Barnes asked about ICE.

1288
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:49,680
Speaker 3: If ICE expanded operations the Trump administration here in Wisconsin

1289
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 3: state to Milwaukee, how would you respond as a governor?

1290
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you.

1291
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 5: If there are instances where there are violent criminals who

1292
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:58,879
Speaker 5: are not here legally, of course they should be deported.

1293
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 5: But what we're seeing is a brazen show of force

1294
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 5: and an abuse of power. We have masks men who

1295
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:07,439
Speaker 5: are showing up to houses of worship, who are showing

1296
01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:09,760
Speaker 5: up to schools, and they are taking away members of

1297
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 5: our community. There is a complete lack of accountability.

1298
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 1: Boy, yeah, boy, If I'm Tom Tiffany, I'm just turning

1299
01:22:17,080 --> 01:22:20,760
Speaker 1: that one right into an ad. There are masked men,

1300
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:26,240
Speaker 1: so much there, so much there. You know why they're masked, right,

1301
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: Because goons like man deadbeat Barnes and his followers have

1302
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: been attempting to dox these agents in an effort to

1303
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 1: harass or intimidate, or even worse cause them or their

1304
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:43,200
Speaker 1: famili's physical harm. That's the reason they wear masks. It's

1305
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: not like they're the Watchmen that they're trying to dress

1306
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: up as superheroes. It's because there's an actual need. It's

1307
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 1: not because, oh, my goodness, what they're doing is so shameful.

1308
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 1: It's because if their identities are found out and there

1309
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: has been a concerted effort to try to there's a

1310
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 1: group that calls itself Unmasked ICE. For heaven's sakes, the

1311
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:09,400
Speaker 1: idea that they're just snatching up random people off the

1312
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:13,919
Speaker 1: streets is absurd, as is the notion that illegal aliens

1313
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:18,639
Speaker 1: have committed no crime. They have all committed unlawful entry

1314
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: into the United States. It is a federal crime. It

1315
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:24,519
Speaker 1: is punishable by time in federal prison, as well as

1316
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:25,880
Speaker 1: defined by the federal government.

1317
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:28,440
Speaker 2: It's never enforced, of course.

1318
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 1: But the idea that the crime rate of illegal aliens

1319
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,719
Speaker 1: in this country is one hundred percent, one hundred percent

1320
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:41,839
Speaker 1: of illegal aliens have indeed committed a federal crime unlawful

1321
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 1: entry into the United States. By the way, if you

1322
01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: re enter the country after you've already been deported, that's

1323
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 1: a felony, meaning it's punishable by more than a year

1324
01:23:54,840 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 1: in federal prison. Barnes, though, is upper under the same

1325
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 1: fiction that apparently the Wisconsin Supreme Court is, and that

1326
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 1: somehow a valid ICE detainer should not or cannot be honored.

1327
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 1: Now I expect this from man deadbeat Barnes, and I

1328
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 1: suppose I should probably expect this from the libs on

1329
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Supreme Court. But what I did notice, and

1330
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:29,680
Speaker 1: I was following the news while I was out in

1331
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:32,479
Speaker 1: Mexico City for my brother's wedding over the past half

1332
01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 1: a week, is that nobody and this, folks, is why

1333
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:41,639
Speaker 1: I sincerely hope you tune into this show. It's because

1334
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:46,720
Speaker 1: nobody else breaks down these issues like we do. The

1335
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 1: Supreme Court last week took up this case, it agreed

1336
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:54,240
Speaker 1: to take this case, and everyone in media was probably

1337
01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 1: analyzing it the.

1338
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:57,799
Speaker 2: Is ice good?

1339
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:05,160
Speaker 1: Is it legal to detain people on behalf of ice?

1340
01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:12,479
Speaker 1: What the Supreme Court and I dare say everybody else

1341
01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:17,439
Speaker 1: in media in this state failed to recognize is that

1342
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 1: what the Wisconsin Supreme Court is doing is that.

1343
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:27,719
Speaker 2: Kind of a violation of the Tenth Amendment. So here's

1344
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:28,160
Speaker 2: the thing.

1345
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:35,640
Speaker 1: An ICE detainer is actually completely voluntary. ICE is not,

1346
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:43,480
Speaker 1: in fact forcing any municipality to hold people in its jail. Moreover,

1347
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:50,679
Speaker 1: the idea that an administrative warrant makes the underlying crime

1348
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 1: i e. Unlawful entry into the United States under federal

1349
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:59,160
Speaker 1: law less of a crime is just a legal fiction,

1350
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 1: it's not true. In fact, you can be deported under

1351
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: the Immigration and Naturalization Act of nineteen ninety six, ICE

1352
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 1: is explicitly authorized to hold people and the federal government

1353
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 1: is explicitly authorized to deport people for the violation of

1354
01:26:21,120 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 1: federal law that is unlawful entry. It is an unfortunate

1355
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:29,200
Speaker 1: fact that libs, especially lives in position of power like

1356
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:31,920
Speaker 1: Mandela Barns, or at least wanna be positions of power

1357
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 1: like Mandela Barns, and the four leftists on the Wisconsin

1358
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:38,599
Speaker 1: Supreme Court just cannot or will not get through their

1359
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:42,639
Speaker 1: thick heads. Illegal entry into the United States is a crime.

1360
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 1: No person is illegal, they scream no. But every person

1361
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 1: who unlawfully entered the United States illegally immigrated to the

1362
01:26:54,880 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 1: United States is say it with me, an illegal Imma grant.

1363
01:27:01,840 --> 01:27:06,240
Speaker 1: Now here's where you get the legal analysis and constitutional

1364
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: analysis that you're only going to get on this program,

1365
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 1: not just in this state, but I dare say in

1366
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:20,320
Speaker 1: this entire country. The tenth Amendment especially is an important one.

1367
01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: All the amendments are important, but I dare say, first

1368
01:27:23,200 --> 01:27:26,840
Speaker 1: Amendment very important, Second Amendment very important, Third Amendment, I

1369
01:27:26,840 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 1: don't want any British soldiers quartered in my house, do you.

1370
01:27:30,720 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 1: Tenth Amendment might be the most important at all because

1371
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:37,760
Speaker 1: it delegates all power is not explicitly granted to the

1372
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: government of the United States, to the several states, or

1373
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:42,480
Speaker 1: to the people themselves.

1374
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:44,560
Speaker 2: It is a limiting amendment.

1375
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 1: Under the tenth Amendment, the federal government cannot common deer

1376
01:27:51,439 --> 01:27:58,679
Speaker 1: local law enforcement. Therefore, any sort of cooperation with ICE

1377
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:05,599
Speaker 1: must be vold. And we of course know that every

1378
01:28:05,800 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 1: sanctuary city cloaks itself in the tenth Amendment saying that, well,

1379
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:14,080
Speaker 1: we don't have to cooperate with federal law enforcement.

1380
01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:16,280
Speaker 2: You kind of do.

1381
01:28:18,520 --> 01:28:21,080
Speaker 1: There needs to be cooperation in order for this little

1382
01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:25,320
Speaker 1: thing called federalism to work. We need to have cooperation

1383
01:28:25,479 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 1: between the federal government and the states. But that doesn't

1384
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 1: mean that the federal government can come in and say

1385
01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:38,400
Speaker 1: we're going to just take over state resources. Supreme Court

1386
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:43,400
Speaker 1: two different cases, Prince v. Us and New York v.

1387
01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:49,600
Speaker 1: Us both established federal government can't force states or localities

1388
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:56,240
Speaker 1: to enforce federal laws. So there's no penalty for non

1389
01:28:56,320 --> 01:29:03,599
Speaker 1: compliance with an ICE detainer. In internal documents, in fact,

1390
01:29:03,720 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 1: ICE has sort of conceded this. It says a detainer

1391
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 1: is a request. There is no penalty if local agencies

1392
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 1: do not comply. Now, United States Supreme Court has not

1393
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:22,520
Speaker 1: directly ruled on whether or not ICE detainers are constitutional.

1394
01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:25,640
Speaker 1: This is the heart of the issue that the Wisconsin

1395
01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 1: Supreme Court says it's taking up whether or not a

1396
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:34,679
Speaker 1: federal government agency like ICE can come in and say

1397
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:39,519
Speaker 1: without a valid warrant from a judge, which again you

1398
01:29:39,960 --> 01:29:42,920
Speaker 1: do not need. I mean, you want to blame somebody.

1399
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:46,639
Speaker 1: Liberals blame Bill Clinton for this. The nineteen ninety six

1400
01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 1: Immigration Act gave a whole lot of authority to this

1401
01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:56,520
Speaker 1: agency and to CBP, Customs and Border Patrol.

1402
01:29:56,720 --> 01:29:59,400
Speaker 2: I don't make the laws. The Congress does.

1403
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:02,960
Speaker 1: When the President signs them, they are valid laws, whether

1404
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:08,320
Speaker 1: you like them or not, in order to enforce immigration law.

1405
01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:13,040
Speaker 1: We understand because of the sheer volume of illegal aliens

1406
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:16,400
Speaker 1: in this country who need to be deported, and they do.

1407
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 1: We realize way back in nineteen ninety six that if

1408
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:23,679
Speaker 1: you needed to go to a judge for every single

1409
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:29,160
Speaker 1: detainer request, for every single deportation, for every single action

1410
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:33,839
Speaker 1: that ICE did, you wouldn't have enough judges. There's millions

1411
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 1: of people in this country illegally. Not only that, you

1412
01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:41,120
Speaker 1: would have some lefties who would simply refuse to sign

1413
01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:45,360
Speaker 1: off on any ice detainer. You think Judge Hannah Dugan

1414
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:48,280
Speaker 1: is signing off on an ice detainer.

1415
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:52,040
Speaker 2: Course not, by the way, that's going to be a

1416
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:53,439
Speaker 2: fun trial. Man.

1417
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:56,519
Speaker 1: If there was ever a trial at which I wish

1418
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 1: there were cameras in the courtroom, it would be that

1419
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 1: one schedule to begin, I believe a week from today,

1420
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:10,360
Speaker 1: December fifteenth. In any event, the law, federal law does

1421
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:16,280
Speaker 1: in fact supersede whatever the Wisconsin Supreme Court believes about

1422
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:23,840
Speaker 1: Wisconsin law. This concept of a quote new arrest, that's

1423
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:26,439
Speaker 1: in the Constitution too, It's called the supremacy clause.

1424
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:29,040
Speaker 2: So the Supreme.

1425
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:34,720
Speaker 1: Court did not explicitly rule on ice detainers, but in

1426
01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:41,320
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, in a case called Jennings v. Rodriguez, it

1427
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:48,040
Speaker 1: upheld prolonged detention of removable aliens without bond hearings and

1428
01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:54,800
Speaker 1: explicitly rejected due process claims and reinforced the Department of

1429
01:31:54,800 --> 01:32:02,720
Speaker 1: Homeland Securities authority to detain people base stunt administrative warrants. This,

1430
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:07,439
Speaker 1: of course, is directly applicable to detainers as sort of

1431
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:13,720
Speaker 1: temporary holds pending removal. Now, if all that sounds a

1432
01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:16,840
Speaker 1: little bit legally is, let me try to get it

1433
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 1: to you in plain English. What the Supreme Court held is, Yes,

1434
01:32:23,360 --> 01:32:28,880
Speaker 1: the Immigration and Naturalization Act of nineteen ninety six, with

1435
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:34,519
Speaker 1: which allows for these administrative warrants for ICE, it does

1436
01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 1: allow for a prolonged detention because cooperation with ICE is

1437
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:47,160
Speaker 1: entirely voluntary. There is no Federalism or Tenth Amendment issue

1438
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:52,880
Speaker 1: that's being violated here because a sheriff's department or because

1439
01:32:52,920 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 1: a local municipality does in fact have some degree of

1440
01:32:57,120 --> 01:33:00,040
Speaker 1: autonomy and does have some degree of local control so

1441
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:04,880
Speaker 1: independent from state law, even though it still must always

1442
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,400
Speaker 1: operate within the framework of state and federal law.

1443
01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:09,840
Speaker 2: That's also a basic federalist concept.

1444
01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,960
Speaker 1: It has the ability and it has the absolute right

1445
01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:20,200
Speaker 1: to be able to voluntarily cooperate with ICE to turn

1446
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:25,920
Speaker 1: over suspects for whom ICE's requesting, saying, hey, hold that

1447
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 1: you've already got this guy in your jail, hold him

1448
01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:31,360
Speaker 1: for a couple of days so that we can get

1449
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 1: an agent or a couple of agents there. He's got

1450
01:33:34,160 --> 01:33:37,280
Speaker 1: a valid detention order. We know he's here illegally he's

1451
01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:40,439
Speaker 1: snuck back in three times. Just hold him for us.

1452
01:33:40,520 --> 01:33:44,200
Speaker 1: Do us a solid would you? Sauk County Sheriff's Department

1453
01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:52,960
Speaker 1: the State Supreme Court saying that voluntary cooperation with a

1454
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:57,920
Speaker 1: federal agency with what has repeatedly been upheld to be

1455
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:03,360
Speaker 1: a valid reason to detain somebody or a valid reason

1456
01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:06,400
Speaker 1: to hold somebody, and come get them to think that

1457
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:11,919
Speaker 1: that somehow violates state law when federal law, thena Immigration

1458
01:34:12,040 --> 01:34:16,600
Speaker 1: Naturalization Act of nineteen ninety six clearly supersedes this because

1459
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 1: of the concept of the supremacy clause of the Constitution.

1460
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:27,360
Speaker 1: Once again, I mean sure, the Wisconsin Supreme Court can

1461
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:32,120
Speaker 1: absolutely take up this case. It can absolutely side with

1462
01:34:32,400 --> 01:34:38,040
Speaker 1: Voss Dela Fronterra, and it can absolutely rule that.

1463
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:41,599
Speaker 2: Sheriffs can't comply with Ice.

1464
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 1: Do you know what's gonna happen Almost immediately, I can

1465
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:48,360
Speaker 1: guarantee it. The case is going to be appealed to

1466
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:51,760
Speaker 1: the United States Supreme Court, and the four libs on

1467
01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:55,439
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Supreme Court are going to be smacked down

1468
01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:59,920
Speaker 1: even harder by the US Supreme Court. When Sonia Soto,

1469
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:04,640
Speaker 1: Mayor of all people, wrote an opinion of a unanimous

1470
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:10,920
Speaker 1: Supreme Court just obliterating the tortured logic of the State

1471
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:15,639
Speaker 1: Supreme Court in a First Amendment religious liberty case earlier

1472
01:35:15,680 --> 01:35:20,439
Speaker 1: this year. I'm telling you, folks, these justices are deathly

1473
01:35:20,479 --> 01:35:24,439
Speaker 1: afraid of being overturned once again by the United States

1474
01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:26,720
Speaker 1: Supreme Court.

1475
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 2: It's actually my belief.

1476
01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:32,360
Speaker 1: That there is at least a chance because of that,

1477
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:36,760
Speaker 1: Because of that alone, and because my goodness, a radio

1478
01:35:36,760 --> 01:35:43,599
Speaker 1: host in Milwaukee can just systematically destroy any actual legal

1479
01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 1: argument that Voss Dela Frontera or the ACLU could actually bring.

1480
01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 1: Means it's pretty cut and dry, it's pretty open and closed.

1481
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:56,840
Speaker 1: So I think there might actually be a chance that

1482
01:35:56,920 --> 01:36:02,879
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Supreme Court actually upholds the power of sheriff's

1483
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:06,280
Speaker 1: departments to do ice detainers because quite frankly, if you're

1484
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:09,960
Speaker 1: following the law and the Constitution, it's really the only

1485
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:16,639
Speaker 1: decision that you could make. So I've been talking about

1486
01:36:17,560 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 1: the fact that I was in Mexico City for the

1487
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 1: past five days from my brother's wedding. Congratulations once again,

1488
01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:26,280
Speaker 1: Pat and hann. I have two brothers, one who is

1489
01:36:26,479 --> 01:36:29,000
Speaker 1: roughly my age, about sixteen months younger than me, another

1490
01:36:29,040 --> 01:36:31,720
Speaker 1: one who is eleven years younger than me.

1491
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:32,479
Speaker 2: Believe it or not.

1492
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 1: Yep, same mom, same dad, and my brother. I'm the

1493
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:41,000
Speaker 1: oldest and my older younger brother and I were sort

1494
01:36:41,040 --> 01:36:45,400
Speaker 1: of the two best men. My brother's best friend, he

1495
01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:48,360
Speaker 1: got to sit next to the groom at the head table.

1496
01:36:49,280 --> 01:36:53,720
Speaker 1: Both my other brother and I gave best man speeches.

1497
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:59,200
Speaker 1: My brother focused on the humor and funny stories. I

1498
01:36:59,280 --> 01:37:01,880
Speaker 1: was a bit more to mental, you know, more of

1499
01:37:02,080 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 1: a fatherfit. When you're that much older, it's sort of

1500
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:07,760
Speaker 1: natural to be a father figure. I actually learned my

1501
01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:12,120
Speaker 1: love of coaching coaching his soccer and basketball teams. For

1502
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:14,599
Speaker 1: years and years and years, I was an assistant coach

1503
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:15,960
Speaker 1: and I was still a teenager.

1504
01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:19,480
Speaker 2: And shout out to coach.

1505
01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:23,800
Speaker 1: Al for letting the older brother actually be his assistant

1506
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:27,680
Speaker 1: basketball and soccer coach at Saint Mary's Hill's Corners all

1507
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:28,320
Speaker 1: those years ago.

1508
01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:30,120
Speaker 2: It set me on the path I am today.

1509
01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:33,880
Speaker 1: But I was in Mexico City, and I'm sure a

1510
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:35,639
Speaker 1: lot of people haven't been there. My first time ever

1511
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:38,360
Speaker 1: in Mexico City. You know, I've been to the resorts

1512
01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 1: port of Arita and can Kun when I was much

1513
01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:44,719
Speaker 1: younger on spring break trite type trips, Plia del Carmen,

1514
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:49,200
Speaker 1: and I've even been to I've never been to Tijuana.

1515
01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:53,960
Speaker 1: I was at some janky border town near Scottsdale, Arizona,

1516
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:59,639
Speaker 1: I believe called Puerto Pinasco, and that was that was rough.

1517
01:38:00,280 --> 01:38:04,679
Speaker 1: It was fun enough, but Yike's never quite felt safe there.

1518
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:10,280
Speaker 1: Mexico City completely different story, best way I can describe it.

1519
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:13,600
Speaker 1: I was thoroughly impressed by Mexico City. Best way I

1520
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:20,080
Speaker 1: can describe it. It is European architecture in a city

1521
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:26,080
Speaker 1: geographically the size of New York population wise the size

1522
01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:31,560
Speaker 1: of Tokyo. Picture New York City with European style streets

1523
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:36,720
Speaker 1: and architecture set in a jungle, and you'll get a

1524
01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:40,320
Speaker 1: sense of just how beautiful the parts of Mexico City

1525
01:38:40,360 --> 01:38:45,400
Speaker 1: that I was in really are. It is a truly

1526
01:38:45,720 --> 01:38:50,080
Speaker 1: world class city, twenty some million people. There are about

1527
01:38:50,120 --> 01:38:53,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty one million people in Mexico. It's

1528
01:38:53,120 --> 01:39:01,280
Speaker 1: a shockingly large country. And Mexico City actually made me

1529
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:06,200
Speaker 1: even angrier about illegal immigration into this country than I

1530
01:39:06,360 --> 01:39:10,880
Speaker 1: was before I got there. You know why, because you

1531
01:39:11,040 --> 01:39:16,639
Speaker 1: have everything you need, and I mean everything in Mexico City.

1532
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:22,599
Speaker 1: Sure not every city in Mexico is like LCU DoD

1533
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 1: de Mexico. There is a lot of poverty. I'm not

1534
01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:29,559
Speaker 1: going to deny that, but I want you to take

1535
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:32,840
Speaker 1: a wild guess where the United States.

1536
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:38,960
Speaker 2: Ranks in GDP. That one's easy, right, number one, number one.

1537
01:39:40,280 --> 01:39:42,960
Speaker 1: You would think that directly to the south, since we

1538
01:39:43,040 --> 01:39:49,440
Speaker 1: have been talking for decades about Mexicans needing to flee

1539
01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 1: the economic hardship of their motherland for the much, much,

1540
01:39:55,040 --> 01:39:59,760
Speaker 1: much much greener pastures of the United States. What do

1541
01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:04,800
Speaker 1: you thin think the GDP of Mexico's rank is in

1542
01:40:04,800 --> 01:40:10,000
Speaker 1: the world. If you had to guess right now, one

1543
01:40:10,080 --> 01:40:12,479
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty countries in the world, what would you

1544
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:15,559
Speaker 1: think Mexico's is? Don't look it up, producer Eric, I

1545
01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:17,840
Speaker 1: see you in there. What do you think it is?

1546
01:40:21,080 --> 01:40:30,040
Speaker 1: Top hundred, top seventy five, try thirteenth.

1547
01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:33,719
Speaker 2: In the world, thirteenth.

1548
01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:39,719
Speaker 1: Mexico has a larger economy than the following countries, all

1549
01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:54,799
Speaker 1: of which are considered exceedingly wealthy. The Netherlands, Australia, Switzerland, Belgium, Ireland, Israel, Norway,

1550
01:40:55,640 --> 01:41:04,960
Speaker 1: the United Arab Emirates, Denmark, and Hong Kong. Now, the

1551
01:41:05,040 --> 01:41:11,639
Speaker 1: GDP per capita is much, much, much, much smaller about

1552
01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:15,599
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand per citizen. The United States it's about eighty

1553
01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:17,960
Speaker 1: five thousand. So that's where you get a lot of disparity.

1554
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:25,760
Speaker 1: How about the GDP counting purchasing power. So what this

1555
01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:30,280
Speaker 1: means is how affordable are things? Yes, a lot of people,

1556
01:41:31,360 --> 01:41:34,759
Speaker 1: there's a big discrepancy between the haves and have nots

1557
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:35,400
Speaker 1: in Mexico.

1558
01:41:35,439 --> 01:41:39,360
Speaker 2: It's massive. I'm not going to deny that.

1559
01:41:40,160 --> 01:41:44,000
Speaker 1: Guess what Mexico ranks when you consider the cost of

1560
01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:47,919
Speaker 1: goods and services in a given country in terms of GDP,

1561
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:49,919
Speaker 1: it is called it's.

1562
01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:53,160
Speaker 2: P p P ranking.

1563
01:41:54,439 --> 01:42:00,599
Speaker 1: Okay, PPP That is gross domestic product at purchase power

1564
01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:09,000
Speaker 1: Purchasing power parity also thirteenth meaning not only is Mexico,

1565
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:14,599
Speaker 1: relatively speaking, by GDP one of the wealthier nations on Earth,

1566
01:42:15,280 --> 01:42:18,400
Speaker 1: the people who live there have a tremendous amount of

1567
01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:24,960
Speaker 1: purchasing power parity. Not only that, Mexico is insanely rich

1568
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:30,120
Speaker 1: in natural resources such as oil. Such as the ability

1569
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:35,559
Speaker 1: for the people to farm available agriculture, it also has

1570
01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:41,160
Speaker 1: a booming manufacturing sector. Much of the manufacturing is owned

1571
01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:44,280
Speaker 1: by China, of course, but there are jobs there.

1572
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 2: Now.

1573
01:42:46,200 --> 01:42:50,679
Speaker 1: Of course, Mexico not the areas that I was in,

1574
01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:55,439
Speaker 1: or that most American tourists ever go to very violent

1575
01:42:55,520 --> 01:43:03,040
Speaker 1: place Why could it be those exact same drug car

1576
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:08,599
Speaker 1: tells that President Trump has targeted as international terror rings

1577
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:11,880
Speaker 1: and is now blasting out of the water.

1578
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:14,080
Speaker 2: Yes, it is.

1579
01:43:15,439 --> 01:43:20,040
Speaker 1: Maybe if you want to do something to improve the

1580
01:43:20,120 --> 01:43:25,320
Speaker 1: lives of Mexican citizens. And by the way, most of

1581
01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:29,080
Speaker 1: the people who have wanted to leave Mexico for Los

1582
01:43:29,240 --> 01:43:31,519
Speaker 1: Estado Sunidos have already done so.

1583
01:43:31,720 --> 01:43:32,599
Speaker 2: The people who.

1584
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:35,320
Speaker 1: We are getting in the Biden wave of migration, or

1585
01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:39,120
Speaker 1: at least were until President Trump sealed off the border.

1586
01:43:39,360 --> 01:43:42,080
Speaker 1: They were coming from Central and South America. Hell, they

1587
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:44,800
Speaker 1: were coming from Haiti, they were coming from China, they

1588
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:48,760
Speaker 1: were coming from all over the entire world. It didn't matter,

1589
01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:55,719
Speaker 1: like come on in. The point is that we've essentially

1590
01:43:55,760 --> 01:44:00,080
Speaker 1: been lied to that there's no opportunity, there is no

1591
01:43:59,800 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 1: hope for anyone in Mexico, and of course they have

1592
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:08,040
Speaker 1: to come north of the border. That's not true at all.

1593
01:44:08,280 --> 01:44:12,280
Speaker 1: Relatively speaking, Mexico is a very wealthy nation. It is

1594
01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:18,080
Speaker 1: just a very corrupt nation. When I was at that

1595
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:20,640
Speaker 1: border town, a buddy of mine got a park or

1596
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:23,679
Speaker 1: a traffic ticket. I think he was speeding or something.

1597
01:44:24,360 --> 01:44:27,040
Speaker 1: He actually got in the rental car. He actually got

1598
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:30,559
Speaker 1: hauled down to the Mexican jail, and I can think

1599
01:44:30,600 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 1: of nothing scarier than going to the Mexican courthouse slash jail.

1600
01:44:35,520 --> 01:44:39,120
Speaker 1: He went in front of a local Mexican magistrate or judge.

1601
01:44:39,120 --> 01:44:41,920
Speaker 1: He's still not entirely sure who it was. He had

1602
01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:44,360
Speaker 1: to pay a bribe. It was something like twenty dollars

1603
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:49,320
Speaker 1: and they let the whole thing go. Say what you

1604
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:52,400
Speaker 1: will about the American justice system, it doesn't work like that.

1605
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:58,519
Speaker 1: Unless you're like super super super wealthy and a politically

1606
01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 1: connected Democrat, then it as so does work exactly like that.

1607
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:09,120
Speaker 1: But the point is that if you want to actually

1608
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:14,880
Speaker 1: improve people's lives, it's not empower the drug cartels by

1609
01:45:15,280 --> 01:45:20,000
Speaker 1: essentially funding their coyote operations smuggling people across the border

1610
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:25,080
Speaker 1: and allowing drugs to flow over the border, making them

1611
01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:29,080
Speaker 1: untold billions of dollars and giving them way more political

1612
01:45:29,280 --> 01:45:33,679
Speaker 1: power in Mexico and other places across Central and South Americans.

1613
01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:40,120
Speaker 1: By cutting off the heads of those organizations and arresting

1614
01:45:40,200 --> 01:45:43,840
Speaker 1: and jailing everybody else you know who proved it could work,

1615
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:50,280
Speaker 1: El Salvador naib Bukele to every liberal who says you

1616
01:45:50,320 --> 01:45:53,799
Speaker 1: can't arrest and jail your way out of a massive

1617
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 1: crime problem. El Salvador, before Bukelly, was one of the

1618
01:45:58,040 --> 01:46:01,839
Speaker 1: most violent places on planet Earth. Now it is easily

1619
01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:08,880
Speaker 1: the safest country in Central America easily. Why how crack

1620
01:46:08,960 --> 01:46:14,759
Speaker 1: down on corruption, crack down on crime, you stop. Hasn't

1621
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:19,000
Speaker 1: been a whole lot of illegal immigration from El Salvador recently?

1622
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:21,840
Speaker 2: Has there? No why?

1623
01:46:22,240 --> 01:46:26,080
Speaker 1: Because they don't have a reason to flee. Make every

1624
01:46:26,160 --> 01:46:30,400
Speaker 1: area of Mexico as beautiful as Mexico City, and it

1625
01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 1: is possible to suggest that it isn't frankly as a

1626
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:39,800
Speaker 1: little xenophobic and racist, lift people out of poverty, lift

1627
01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:44,479
Speaker 1: people out of the oppression of a narco terrorist state

1628
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:49,720
Speaker 1: by actually cracking doubt like Trump is doing in Venezuela

1629
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:53,920
Speaker 1: on the drug cartels and voila. You have got paradise

1630
01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:58,000
Speaker 1: just to our south. You're listening to the Dan O'Donnell show.

1631
01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:04,920
Speaker 1: It's conservative thought, not just talk, folks. I'm afraid I

1632
01:47:04,960 --> 01:47:07,560
Speaker 1: have some bad news. I don't want to taint It

1633
01:47:07,640 --> 01:47:12,719
Speaker 1: has been a very joyous day celebrating Jasmine Crockett getting

1634
01:47:12,920 --> 01:47:16,280
Speaker 1: much more visible by jumping in the United States Senate

1635
01:47:16,520 --> 01:47:19,759
Speaker 1: race next year. But I do have some bad news

1636
01:47:19,840 --> 01:47:24,519
Speaker 1: this Christmas season. It appears that the Bears may not,

1637
01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:30,120
Speaker 1: in fact still suck. Packers do get a win game

1638
01:47:30,200 --> 01:47:36,120
Speaker 1: ceiling interception on the final drive where Chicago could have

1639
01:47:36,280 --> 01:47:38,920
Speaker 1: tied it up or potentially taken the lead on a

1640
01:47:38,960 --> 01:47:41,880
Speaker 1: two point conversion. They get down into the red zone

1641
01:47:42,680 --> 01:47:47,599
Speaker 1: and Caleb Williams, who was looking incredible for much of

1642
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:51,839
Speaker 1: the second half, once again looked like Caleb Williams throwing

1643
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:52,679
Speaker 1: up a duck.

1644
01:47:53,439 --> 01:47:54,639
Speaker 2: Nixon gets the interception.

1645
01:47:54,760 --> 01:47:59,439
Speaker 1: Keyshawn had had a terrible game leading up to that moment.

1646
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:03,040
Speaker 2: Buddy made the play.

1647
01:48:03,080 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 1: When it counted, the ball just left short for the

1648
01:48:06,400 --> 01:48:09,720
Speaker 1: tight end Cole Comet. Packers are able to clock it,

1649
01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:15,200
Speaker 1: and they are now the what number three seed, number

1650
01:48:15,240 --> 01:48:19,639
Speaker 1: two seed in the NFC playoffs, behind only the Los

1651
01:48:19,680 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. The Bears fall all the way from the

1652
01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:27,880
Speaker 1: top seed to the last seed, the number seven seed

1653
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:32,080
Speaker 1: in the NFC playoffs, just to show you how bunched

1654
01:48:32,120 --> 01:48:35,719
Speaker 1: up things are at the top of this conference. Now,

1655
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:40,320
Speaker 1: this was an even game. Packers do shoot out to

1656
01:48:40,439 --> 01:48:43,519
Speaker 1: a fourteen to three lead, but in the second half.

1657
01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 1: Whatever adjustments offensively Ben Johnson was making, they worked Packers

1658
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:54,080
Speaker 1: for large stretches of that game did not look like

1659
01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:58,280
Speaker 1: they could stop Williams and banged up Bears offense. They

1660
01:48:58,280 --> 01:49:02,080
Speaker 1: were without arguably their best receiver in Roma Dunes. And yes,

1661
01:49:02,200 --> 01:49:06,320
Speaker 1: I know on that final play Williams missed a wide

1662
01:49:06,360 --> 01:49:11,000
Speaker 1: open DJ Moore. Nobody is going to confuse him with

1663
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:16,599
Speaker 1: a great quarterback. He's not terrible, even though yes, much

1664
01:49:16,640 --> 01:49:19,439
Speaker 1: has been made about the fact that he would have

1665
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:23,759
Speaker 1: the worst completion percentage in something like I think since

1666
01:49:23,800 --> 01:49:29,720
Speaker 1: the merger of any number one seed in the playoffs.

1667
01:49:30,360 --> 01:49:33,960
Speaker 1: He's still getting it done. And whether it's with smoke

1668
01:49:34,040 --> 01:49:37,120
Speaker 1: and mirrors. That game, by the way, that got flexed

1669
01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:42,600
Speaker 1: in less than two weeks Saturday night, December twentieth in Chicago,

1670
01:49:43,400 --> 01:49:45,680
Speaker 1: it is going to be a barn burner because that

1671
01:49:45,720 --> 01:49:50,000
Speaker 1: one might actually be for the division. Packers, of course,

1672
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:52,719
Speaker 1: have to take care of business with a very tough

1673
01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:58,840
Speaker 1: final couple of games of this season. But the Bears

1674
01:49:58,840 --> 01:50:02,840
Speaker 1: are legit this year. This is a two team rail though.

1675
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:05,320
Speaker 1: You know what, don't count out the Detroit Lions. They

1676
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:09,679
Speaker 1: got a big win over the Dallas Cowboys They're still

1677
01:50:09,760 --> 01:50:13,040
Speaker 1: right in the thick of things once again, even with

1678
01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 1: the Vikings having a down year, although they just absolutely

1679
01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:22,600
Speaker 1: got a crusher of a game against Washington, who suffered a.

1680
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:22,879
Speaker 2: Loss by.

1681
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:30,280
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, the superstar young quarterback, he reinjured. I don't

1682
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:32,880
Speaker 1: even know why you bring the kid back in what's

1683
01:50:32,920 --> 01:50:36,439
Speaker 1: a lost season. Just he is your franchise. Have they

1684
01:50:36,520 --> 01:50:41,400
Speaker 1: learned nothing from RG three and the injuries that destroyed

1685
01:50:41,479 --> 01:50:42,200
Speaker 1: his career.

1686
01:50:44,320 --> 01:50:45,840
Speaker 2: Packers did look good.

1687
01:50:46,600 --> 01:50:49,240
Speaker 1: They did not look great, but I think that's more

1688
01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:52,320
Speaker 1: of a function of them playing a very good team

1689
01:50:52,600 --> 01:50:56,240
Speaker 1: in the Chicago Bears. I hate to say it, folks,

1690
01:50:57,040 --> 01:51:02,840
Speaker 1: I think these shirtless, screaming Johnson is a very very

1691
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:07,519
Speaker 1: good coach. I think the Bears finally have have halted

1692
01:51:07,560 --> 01:51:10,200
Speaker 1: their coaching carousel. Of course, much has been made about

1693
01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:12,719
Speaker 1: the fact that they've had how many different starting quarterbacks.

1694
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:14,320
Speaker 2: That's part and parcel.

1695
01:51:14,400 --> 01:51:17,320
Speaker 1: Of the fact that they have not had a good

1696
01:51:17,439 --> 01:51:23,639
Speaker 1: head coach really since ditka Wan's dad. I guess was okay,

1697
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:29,160
Speaker 1: that was what thirty years ago? Love me love Okay,

1698
01:51:29,240 --> 01:51:33,360
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith, Lovey Smith got a bad rep. I was

1699
01:51:33,439 --> 01:51:37,120
Speaker 1: always a Lovey Smith guy. He a run out of town.

1700
01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:40,439
Speaker 1: He was a Super Bowl coach. But no, I mean literally,

1701
01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:46,519
