1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:06,479 Speaker 1: Another violent day on the streets of Kilwaukee. An MPs 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: high school student shot dead in broad daylight late this 3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: morning in an apparent attempted robbery. We will have all 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: the latest details. Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman just concluded 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: a press conference about a half hour ago. The biggest 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: surprise here, Chief Norman wasn't out of the city interviewing 7 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,919 Speaker 1: for another job. He of course predictably blamed the guns. 8 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,639 Speaker 1: But as we learn more about this shooting, could there 9 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: be much much more at play. Welcome to the Friday 10 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: edition of The Dan O'Donnell Show. It's such a bummer 11 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: to have to open with such a sad story about 12 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: an eighteen year old losing his life in yet another 13 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: act of senseless gun violence in Milwaukee on such an 14 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: incredibly beautiful afternoon. You know how I can tell I have. 15 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: I've been working very hard all afternoon. I have not 16 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: been outside in quite some time, but I can tell 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: it is a gorgeous afternoon here at the iHeartMedia Studios 18 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: in Western Milwaukee County. You know how I can tell? 19 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: There is not a single member of our sales team 20 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: or management in the building. Do you remember when Mark 21 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: Belling used to randomly call government offices on Friday afternoons. 22 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: It was one of my favorite bits when I was 23 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: growing up. Yes, I always say that to give a 24 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,759 Speaker 1: little dig at my buddy Mark that I was listening 25 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: to him when I was an elementary school student. But 26 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: he called a bureaucrat watch. We now have sales watch. 27 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: Now. 28 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: They work hard. I can tell because I've been going 29 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: back and forth with a number of salespeople and a 30 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: number of members of management. But it is just funny 31 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: how it is funny. I think at some point we're 32 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: going to do a larger topic on how so many 33 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: businesses have been forever altered by the fact that people 34 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: just will not work five full days in an office anymore. 35 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: COVID permanently changed that. And do you remember all the 36 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: howling and gnashing of teeth. Not just in government, I 37 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: mean still still in government. State government employees are still 38 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: fighting back to the office initiatives five years later, and 39 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: Governor Evers will not sign any executive orders, he will 40 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: not force them back to the office. It is just 41 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: that might end up being the single longest lasting impact 42 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen that in the fact that an entire 43 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: generation of kids who are in elementary school five years 44 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: ago can't read at grade level because of the ridiculous 45 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: decision to close the schools for nearly a full school year. 46 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: In any event, I'm getting sidetracked. We will have the 47 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: latest on that tragic shooting coming up in just a second. 48 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: It is Friday. How does our strangers stories of the 49 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: past seven days coming up in the five o'clock hour. 50 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: Also some momentum this week, it seems, in the half 51 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: cocked effort to tear down I seven ninety four in Milwaukee, 52 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: despite a new study showing that it would cost half 53 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: a billion dollars to do and it would cause half 54 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: a billion dollars additionally in lowered GDP gross domestic product 55 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: for the region if it's done. We will discuss that 56 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: coming up in likely the four o'clock hour.

At about 86 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: eleven thirty this morning, an MPs student, according to a 87 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: press release from Milwaukee Public Schools, left the campus of 88 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: Asata High School in Milwaukee. This is a school for 89 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: at risk students. And I looked into this, folks, because 90 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: I knew I was going to get this question. It 91 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: apparently is not named after the terrorist who just recently 92 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 1: passed away, Joe An Cheesemard aka Asata shakur Asata is 93 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: a Swahili word that means she who struggles, and MPs 94 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: says that the school is named after that Swahili word 95 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: because it's an at risk school and that word is 96 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: what Asata shakur aka Joeanne chezimart aka the dead terrorist. 97 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: That's why she chose it, because she is in the struggle. 98 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: She was in the struggle of black liberation. She was 99 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: in the struggle of murdering an innocent state trooper and 100 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: then hiding out in Cuba for several decades like the 101 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: coward she was. But the school is not named after 102 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: a terrorist, which would have really been the big story here, 103 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: my god, a kid was killed outside of a school 104 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: named after a little literal terrorist. But that is not 105 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: the case so the eighteen year old student, who I 106 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: believe to be a senior. I am still working on 107 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: an ID of both the student who was shot and killed, 108 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: as well as one of the suspects who was also 109 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: shot in the forearm and injured and taken into custody. 110 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: Milwaukee Police Chief Jeff Norman provided an update about forty 111 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: five minutes ago, but was rather light on detail. 112 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,799 Speaker 3: Are investigating a double shooting that occurred on Friday, November fourteenth, 113 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, at approximately eleven fifty one am on 114 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 3: the forty six hundred block of North Hopkins Street. It 115 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: appears the suspects approached the victim and attempt to rob 116 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: the victim when shots were fired. The victim and his 117 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 3: suspect were subsequently shot. The victim, an eighteen year old, 118 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: summoned for assistants at a nearby school and was transported 119 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: to a hospital for treatment for serious injuries. The victim 120 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: later succumbed to his injuries. 121 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: Well. 122 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 3: Of the suspects, a seventeen year old, was transported to 123 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 3: a hospital for treatment of non fatal injuries. He was arrested. 124 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: Market police continue to seek additional unknown suspects. 125 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: I can confirm by a multiple law enforcement officer is 126 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: that the eighteen year old who was shot and subsequently 127 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: died at the hospital was shot in the abdomen, and 128 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: the suspect, the seventeen year old who was shot and injured, 129 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: was in the forum. Now what isn't clear is whether 130 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: the victim was also armed and fired back at the 131 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: group of teenagers who were attempting to rob him, or 132 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: someone else in the group of teenagers, which I believe 133 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: to be a far more likely scenario, someone else fired 134 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: accidentally hit one of his friends who was engaged in 135 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: the robbery, and also hit in the attempt to shoot 136 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: the victim, who was obviously the intended target. I think 137 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: that is the more likely scenario, but honestly, I'm still 138 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: not sure. We're still working law enforcement sources here at 139 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell Show to try to get you a 140 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: complete picture of what happened. Now, neither the victim nor 141 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: the suspect were identified, but we do know that the suspect, 142 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: or rather the victim, was an MPs student because of 143 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: an MPs statement to members of the media shortly after 144 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: this happened, indicate that the victim, an eighteen year old, 145 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: left early from Asata High School because he had early release, 146 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: likely leaving at the lunch period to go home, or 147 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: a lot of times at schools for at risk students, 148 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: they get them in job training programs, he might have 149 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: been going there. There were no real details. What we 150 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: don't know is whether this seventeen year old who was 151 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: shot and is subsequently under arrest as part of this 152 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: robbery and the other teenagers were also students at this 153 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: school or were also students at a different MPs school, 154 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: Was this in fact robbery given the fact that these 155 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: aren't at risk students. Was this gang affiliated confrontation. We 156 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: don't quite know that yet. One thing Chief Norman knows, however, 157 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: is that regardless of what this was actually about, whether 158 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: it was arobbery, whether it was some sort of long 159 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: standing beef in which the victim said, oh, they tried 160 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 1: to robby. This, by the way, is a lot of 161 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: times what will happen. I'm not please don't misunderstand. I'm 162 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: not victim blaming or anything like that. But when they 163 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: say attempted robbery, it's a way to try to cover 164 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: up that this was some sort of gang related issue. 165 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it was, but we can't say that 166 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: this was most definitely an actual robbery. It might have 167 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: been a robbery, but it might have been Hey, this 168 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: is this guy from a rival gang. We've got him, 169 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: let's rob him and potentially jump him. Chief Norman used 170 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: the occasion of an eighteen year old being gunned down 171 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: in cold blood to of course call for more gun control. 172 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 3: This is unacceptable, walkie. This is absolute unacceptable in regards 173 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 3: to that this is it's absolutely preventable, totally avoidable. And 174 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 3: here we are having the same refrain about youth and 175 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 3: gun violence. There is no place for firearms in our 176 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 3: youth hands, none. And we are seeing this situation play 177 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 3: over and over again. And so I'm here to say, 178 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 3: as many times I can, we all have a responsibility 179 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 3: to do something we cannot have bystanders in this work. 180 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 3: We have many women walking to this apartment tirely working 181 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 3: to ensure that we are going to make sure that 182 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: people who are bringing harm to our community is held accountable. 183 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: But that's not enough. 184 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 3: We need to really wake up about what is firearms 185 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 3: doing to our community, especially in the hands of young ones. 186 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 3: And so, yes, I am having this press conference to 187 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: elevate and amplify the discussion that we all have a 188 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 3: responsibility in this type of work. 189 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: Yes, so some of us, it would seem, have a 190 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: greater responsibility than others, like I don't know the District 191 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: Attorney's office that constantly throws out gun charges, specifically felon 192 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: in possession of a firearm, indicating that it doesn't take 193 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: gun crime all that seriously. The legislature can pass a 194 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: thousand gun laws, but if violations have said laws are 195 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: instantly thrown out the second that the purp cops to 196 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: a plea deal, they're meaningless. In addition, it would seem 197 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: that the Milwaukee County judiciary that signs off on lenient 198 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: plea deals, that refuses to ever give career criminals anything 199 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: more than a slap on the wrist, would bear more 200 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: of a responsibility than say you or I or any 201 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: random person watching that press conference. Yes, all of us 202 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: do bear some responsibility for making our communities a better 203 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: place to live. But come on to say something like 204 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: that and to not call out, nor ever call out 205 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: the Milwaukee District Attorney's office, who for years during COVID 206 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: nineteen under the prior District Attorney John Chisholm, was simply 207 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: no processing crimes that were coming in from not just 208 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: the city of Milwaukee, but from all across Milwaukee County. 209 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: Cases were being thrown out. Police officers were doing the 210 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: work of investigating crimes, making arrests, and referring charges. Far 211 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: more than fifty percent of both misdemeanors and felonies were 212 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: no processed, meaning prosecutors reviewed them and refused to file charges. 213 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: In the era immediately after COVID nineteen, when Jessica McBride 214 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: and now State Assemblyman Jim p of archeck over at 215 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: Wisconsin RightNow dot Com did incredible work digging into this. 216 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: Do you know what the District Attorney's office did. It 217 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: refused to make any more no process statistics available. We 218 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: have no idea right now how many crimes the District 219 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: Attorney's office keeps no processing. What we do know is 220 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 1: crimes are inevitably undercharged, and for a variety of reasons, 221 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: they're invariably pleated out. We know that jail time is 222 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: very rarely given. We know that ridiculously low or no 223 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: bails are handed out like candy, including signature bond, even 224 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: though Wisconsin voters amended the constitution to tell these people, 225 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: we want you to lock up criminals before they stand trial, 226 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: because once they are out on the streets, they go 227 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: out and commit more crimes. We see it over and 228 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: over again. Judges sign off on these bails, or court 229 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: commissioners sign off on these bails. Judges sign off on 230 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: lenient sentences that almost invariably include no jail time whatsoever. 231 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: And given the age of these suspects, we understand that 232 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: the juvenile justice system is a complete joke. Nobody is 233 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: ever going to juvie halls because of all of the 234 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: issues at one of them. We also know that because 235 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: nobody is getting any meaningful time before they go out 236 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: and commit a murder like one of these apparently teenaged 237 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: robbers who shot and killed this victim today, that they're 238 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: going to keep going out and keep committing escalating crimes, 239 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: continuing to put the public at risk, to blame guns, 240 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: which is a way of coping out and refusing to 241 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: assign responsibility for those who actually set the policies and 242 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: actually are prosecuting and then judging the cases that come 243 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: before them in Milwaukee and instead assigning the blame to 244 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: Republicans who happen to control the state legislature. It is 245 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: the oldest and it is the most noxious cop out 246 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: of all saying, oh, we all have a role to play. No, 247 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 1: there are very specific people who have a role to play, 248 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: and in fact, Chief Norman, your role to play is 249 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: to call them out, like former Milwaukee County Sheriff David 250 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: Clark did routinely that former Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales, 251 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: who is not nearly as vocal in the media, but 252 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: was behind the scenes pushing the far left prosecutors and 253 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: judges in this community to finally get serious about crime 254 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: and to lock up the people who are endangering the 255 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: law abiding citizens of this city. It hasn't happened. It 256 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: hasn't happened in the twenty four years that I have 257 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: been covering this stuff. I have literally been doing this, 258 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, since I was a teenager. I was 259 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: going out to shooting scenes since I was incredibly young. 260 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: I can't even tell you how many dead bodies I 261 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: have seen lying on the streets of Milwaukee because I 262 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: happened to be there before even the police tape was 263 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: put down. Now we've got another one in dead in 264 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:25,239 Speaker 1: broad daylight, eighteen year old kid, and we get to 265 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: yet another screen about gun control. And oh, by the way, 266 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: Milwaukee's police chief jeff Norman himself told us exactly where 267 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: crime guns in this city come from. We'll get into 268 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: that coming up when the Dan O'Donnell show returns. An 269 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: eighteen year old Milwaukee Public Schools student shot and killed 270 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: in an apparent attempted robbery this morning at about eleven 271 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: thirty a m. He got early dismissal from Asata High School, 272 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: which is an alternative school for at risk students. He 273 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: left the campus at about eleven thirty am, presumably for 274 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: lunch or he was leaving for the day at lunchtime 275 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: when immediately outside of the school he was confronted by 276 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: a group of teenagers and shot in the stomach. He 277 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: later succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. A seventeen 278 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: year old suspect was shot in the forearm. He was 279 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: treated at the hospital and is now in police custody. 280 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: According to Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman, there is now 281 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: a search for additional suspects who are not known to 282 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: law enforcement, Norman went on an anti gun screed, blaming 283 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: without actually blaming Republicans who control the legislature for not 284 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: passing enough gun laws. As a law enforcement officer, he 285 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: should know that this is ludicrous, and as the law 286 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: enforcement officer who actually proved that gun laws probably wouldn't 287 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: stop violent crimes, he should really know this. In fact, 288 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: it was Chief Norman who a couple of years ago 289 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: actually blew the whistle on where it is criminals are 290 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: getting their guns. In twenty twenty two, there were one thousand, 291 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: three hundred eighty nine guns stolen. Fifty percent of those 292 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: were stolen from cars. In twenty twenty one and twenty 293 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: twenty two, according to Chief Norman, there were sixteen hundred 294 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: guns stolen from vehicles in Milwaukee. Now, we don't know 295 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: how many of those guns were licensed, how many were 296 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: owned by the people who actually bought them legal, how 297 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: many were purchased in straw purchases. But what we know 298 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: is that the criminals who are stealing guns are then 299 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: using them in other crimes. So in twenty twenty one 300 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: and twenty twenty two, guess what, we had eight hundred 301 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: guns stolen from cars, just from cars per year. Now 302 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: that is dramatically declined as the word has gotten out. 303 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: I think there has been a crackdown on these sorts 304 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: of smash and grabs. If you recall in twenty twenty one. 305 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty two, Milwaukee in particular had a big 306 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: problem with when there would be say a Bucks game downtown, 307 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: there would be an entire row of cars whose windows 308 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: were smashed in. Now it was thought, oh, these are 309 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: just vandals. No, these were people who were looking for guns. 310 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: They were going very very quickly. They were going through 311 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 1: the glove box, they were going through the Setter cons 312 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: storage area. They were just rummaging around specifically looking for guns. 313 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: What do we know in twenty twenty one. In twenty 314 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: twenty two about homicides, there were about, give or take, 315 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty to two hundred and ten homicides 316 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: on average in the post COVID era. That means theoretically 317 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: every single person who was shot and killed in Milwaukee 318 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: could have been shot four times over by a gun 319 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: stolen from a car. Now, what sort of law would 320 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: keep guns out of the hands of people who are 321 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: stealing them from cars. We do have a constitutional right 322 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: to own firearms, and we typically when we're talking about 323 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,160 Speaker 1: gun grabbing and gun bands, we're talking about those big 324 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: scary guns like the AR fifteen and other assault style weapons. Right, Well, 325 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: guess what guns are being concealed in cars? Guess what 326 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: guns are used in something like ninety five percent of 327 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 1: all gun crimes. Handguns. So unless you're willing to say, 328 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: Chief Norman that we believe that nobody should be allowed 329 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: to own a firearm in the state of Wisconsin, which 330 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: of course is unconstitutional, then there's really nothing we can do. 331 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: It is very illegal to steal a gun out of 332 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: a car. Now, this upended the narrative that, well it's 333 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, if we just ban the sale of guns, 334 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: we could cut down on all gun crimes. No, what 335 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: we know is that criminals get their guns through criminal means. 336 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: They're either engaging in straw purchases where they'll get the 337 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: girlfriend to register the gun in their name, but much 338 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: more likely, since handguns can be expensive and stealing stuff 339 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: is free, that they were just taking them right out 340 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: of cars. They were taking them out of homes. When 341 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: you have eight hundred guns at their peak stolen every 342 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: single year, that is an average of more than two 343 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 1: guns stolen per day in the city of Milwaukee. This 344 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: is where the problem is. Now, Let's say we catch 345 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: somebody do it a bunch of smash and grabs, maybe 346 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: stealing a gun from a car. Do you think that 347 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: crime is going to be treated seriously by the Milwaukee 348 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: County criminal justice system? I can answer for you immediately. 349 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: It will not be. Oftentimes, there will result in a 350 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: plea deal, maybe credit for time served, community service, probation, 351 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: no prison, no extended supervision. What do we know about 352 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: someone who steals a gun? Very likely this wasn't his 353 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:05,479 Speaker 1: first rodeo. If someone is arrested for committing a crime, 354 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: chances are it's not the very first time they have 355 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: ever committed a crime. It's also very likely not the 356 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: first time they have committed that exact crime. So someone 357 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: very likely has multiple firearms stolen from cars or apartments 358 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: or wherever. They got a slap on the wrist. What 359 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: do you think they're going to do with those guns? 360 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: Emboldened by the fact that even though they got caught 361 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: stealing a gun, they got caught stealing from cars, they 362 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: didn't get any jail time, that they didn't have anything 363 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: serious happened to them, they're going to commit more and 364 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 1: more serious crimes, oftentimes using that gun. It's not the gun, 365 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: it's the fact that you have hardened criminals who are 366 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: out on the streets instead of in prison where they belong. 367 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: It is not about deterring other criminals per se. The 368 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: left always says, well, stronger prison sentences doesn't serve as 369 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: a deterrence. It's not about deterrence. It is about taking 370 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: a dangerous human being off of the streets and away 371 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: from his potential victims for such a period of time 372 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 1: that he ages out of the criminal lifestyle. We had 373 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: a gang of teenagers today rob another teenager and shoot 374 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: him to death. How many roving gangs of forty five 375 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: year olds do you see on the streets of Milwaukee. 376 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: As a near forty five year old myself, I can 377 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: tell you not many. Our knees hurt too bad to 378 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: be shooting people and then running from the cops. If 379 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: someone is in prison throughout the bulk of their crime, 380 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: committing years, they are not able to victimize a community. 381 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: What we also know about a given community is that 382 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: there is a very small percentage of people who are 383 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: committing a massive percentage of the crime. The issue is 384 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: always recidivism. It's not somebody, as liberals like to pretend, 385 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 1: stealing bread to feed their family because they're so desperate 386 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: and starving. It's someone who's stealing nikes because it's easy 387 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: and because the stores no longer even chase you, or 388 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: sometimes don't even call the cops, that it's easy to do. 389 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 1: Guess what, When we send this signal that we are 390 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: not going to take crime seriously, criminals receive that message 391 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 1: and commit more crimes, emboldened by the fact that nothing 392 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: is going to happen to them. But if we change 393 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:46,359 Speaker 1: that calculus, and to quote Chief Norman, this does take everyone. 394 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 1: This does require that no one is a bystander in 395 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 1: this everyone, especially those with the loudest voices like Chief Norman, 396 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: like Milwaukee mayor Cavalier Johnson, like everyone on the Common Council, 397 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: including an alderman whose own teenage nephew was just recently 398 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: shot and killed by a suspect who I'm not even 399 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: kidding you, folks, has something like twenty seven criminal convictions 400 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: in his thirty five years of life. I couldn't actually 401 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: believe what I was seeing. They all bear a huge 402 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: responsibility to demand change from the newly elected district Attorney 403 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: Kent Luvern, who came in promising to crack down on crime. 404 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: We need more from a judiciary who is most famous 405 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: for having a member literally attempt to sneak an illegal alien, 406 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: violent criminal away from ice and out of her courtm 407 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: Hannahdugan's federal trial, by the way, is set to begin 408 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: next month. If you have judges who are willing to 409 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: go so far as to actually try to get violent 410 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: criminals away from law enforcement in their courtroom and then 411 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: subsequently lie about it to police who came and asked 412 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: her about it the very next day, blaming me, a 413 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: right wing provocateur and radio host, for making up lies 414 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: about her and stirring up my angry troglodite listener base, 415 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: one of whom apparently wrote her a nasty gram saying, hey, 416 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: what the hell are you doing trying to sneak illegal 417 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: aliens out of your courtroom? Turned out to be totally correct, 418 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: totally true. This is sort of what we're up against 419 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: as people who demand actual accountability and actual law enforcement 420 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: and prosecution of crime. Because we are also the people 421 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: who truly do believe that black lives matter. Now we 422 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: don't know the race of the perpetrator or the victim. 423 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: But Asata High School, according to its website, immerses its 424 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,719 Speaker 1: students in African American culture. So I'm going to take 425 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: a wild guess here that the victim was a young 426 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: black man. If in fact, the seventeen year old who 427 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: was one of the suspects was a student at the school, 428 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: I'm also going to assume that he was a young 429 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: black man. Also, I mean, we can't ignore the giant 430 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: elephant in the room. It is young black men between 431 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: the ages of fifteen and about forty who are committing 432 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: a staggering number of the violent crimes in the city 433 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: of Milwaukee. They are also the victims of a staggering 434 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: percentage of violent crimes in the city of Milwaukee. So 435 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: lest you say, oh, well, it's just Dan O'Donnell the 436 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: racist talking about that black crime rate, No, what I'm 437 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: talking about is the black victimization rate. Typically, in a 438 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: given year in Milwaukee, African Americ Fricans, who represent something 439 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: like forty percent of the city's population, are between seventy 440 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: six percent and ninety percent of its homicide victims. Now, 441 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: when you have dangerous purpse who are shooting and killing, 442 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: and almost all of the homicide victims are male. Males 443 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: are disproportionately victimized in homicides. When you have that percentage 444 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: of young black men getting killed, getting assaulted, getting robbed, 445 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: you have a very real problem. And I dare say 446 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: that it is conservatives like me and like you listening 447 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: to me, who agree with the idea that we need 448 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: to crack down on recidivist criminals who keep committing crime 449 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: after crime after crime after crime and nip it in 450 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: the bud by having harsh prison sentences, which, by the way, 451 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: as an approach that was proven to work throughout the 452 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: mid nineteen nineties and right up until about the Ferguson 453 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: effect of twenty fifteen. We have twenty years of data 454 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: to show that violent crime was down to its lowest 455 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: rate in decades after a period of massive increases because 456 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: of this crackdown, because we as a country decided with 457 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: the federal Crime Bill, and even in liberal states like California, 458 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: which enacted a three strikes law, even in a liberal 459 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: city like New York City, which elected the tough on 460 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 1: crime Rudy Giuliani and cracked down on every sort of crime, 461 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: we know it works, but we refuse to do that 462 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: because now somehow we have this misguided idea that locking 463 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: up the people who victimize black lives is somehow not 464 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: calling not paying attention to the fact that black lives matter. 465 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: I would say that I absolutely believe black lives matter. 466 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: It's the people who let violent criminals off the streets 467 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: because they happen to be black, where they can go 468 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: right back out and victimize other black people. I would 469 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,959 Speaker 1: argue they are the ones who don't believe that black 470 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: lives matter. Big update on the online sports betting bill. 471 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 1: We'll get to that coming up next. We have some 472 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: breaking news on the state of the online sports betting bill, 473 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: which I'm just taking a look at the clock. We 474 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: are not going to have time to fully develop as 475 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: a topic, so I think we're going to try to 476 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: sneak that into the four o'clock hour. I do want 477 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: to get into because I have a ton of research 478 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: on why tearing down I seven ninety four that goes 479 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: through the heart of downtown Milwaukee is a phenomenally bad idea. 480 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: We will likely push that to the five o'clock hour. 481 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: Everything is just sort of in flux this afternoon. I 482 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: am getting word from a number of capital sources that 483 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: thanks to our efforts here on the Dan O'Donnell Show, 484 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: Republican leaders do not have fifty Republicans in the Assembly 485 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: to sign on for the sports betting bill. But it 486 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: doesn't matter because they have an agreement with everyone Democrats 487 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: and Republicans that it will be a voice vote on 488 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: the floor. One source says, how outrageous is that one 489 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: of the most consequential votes in recent memory, and no 490 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: roll call. Come on, if you think this is such 491 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: a great deal, put your name behind your vote. Oh 492 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: and they only scheduled ten minutes for debate. Just ridiculous. 493 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: See now I was just fine with all right, I 494 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: get this bill is likely going to pass. The Democrats 495 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: are just like Republicans getting that sweet, sweet Native American 496 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,160 Speaker 1: casino cash for their reelection campaigns in twenty twenty six, 497 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: So they're all going to vote for this. But to 498 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: once again, on a controversial piece of legislation, not even 499 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,880 Speaker 1: force every single person who is in favor of giving 500 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: cartel like power to the Native tribes, yet again to 501 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: not even force them to put their names behind it. 502 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: It's not even about sports betting, folks. Frankly, online sports gambling, 503 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,919 Speaker 1: I'm rather ambivalent about other states seem to be doing 504 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: just fine with it. I guess my very strong belief 505 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: would be that if, as the Wisconsin Institute for Law 506 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: and Liberty has outlined, and we went over this in 507 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: much of the three o'clock yesterday, that it's unconstitutional, that 508 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 1: it violates state law, and that it very likely violates 509 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 1: federal law as well, that this is probably a big mistake. 510 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: But I also don't see why this this notion that 511 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: the servers that run the online sportscampling the physical data, 512 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: that the physical processor of said data is on a 513 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: Native American casino, and this suddenly, this suddenly makes it legal. Okay, 514 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: so we can bet anywhere in the state off reservation, 515 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,879 Speaker 1: but because the actual physical server is located on an 516 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: Indian casino, then it's perfectly acceptable under the state gaming compacts, 517 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 1: state gaming compacts specifically state Okay, we can have sports betting, 518 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: we can have we can have betting. First of all, 519 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: remember it was supposed to be just bingo. That was 520 00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: just supposed to be slots and video poker and the like. 521 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,479 Speaker 1: And then we got table gaming, and then we got 522 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:14,120 Speaker 1: sports books, and now we're gonna get online sports gambling. 523 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: But the whole idea was you have to go to 524 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 1: a native casino in order to gamble. Right, well, I 525 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: could literally right now be on the air and put 526 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,439 Speaker 1: five bucks on the packers this weekend. I'm nowhere near 527 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:36,880 Speaker 1: a native casino. Potawatamie is fifteen miles away. But because 528 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: the server, because Draft Kings put a server that handles 529 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,600 Speaker 1: all of the Draft King's business in the state of Wisconsin, 530 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: is located somewhere underneath the potawatamy casino, that makes it legal. 531 00:36:54,560 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 1: As assinine, it makes no logical sense whatsoever. But see 532 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: what gets my goat on this is that we're going 533 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,919 Speaker 1: to try to give members a pass on a controversial 534 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: vote so no one will ever know how exactly they vote. 535 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: They tried to do this exact same thing with right 536 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,920 Speaker 1: of first refusal. Folks, we're gonna step aside. I do 537 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: want to get to the unhinged liberal of the day. Actually, 538 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: what do you think, producer, Eric, do we even have 539 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: time or should we just let's bumpet? Well okay, I'll yeah, 540 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Just we're gonna We're gonna take 541 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: this uh final break into the top of the hour. 542 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 1: News because as you could imagine, as I got word 543 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: that the vote next week, which is scheduled in the 544 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 1: State Assembly for next Wednesday, that it's going to be 545 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 1: a voice vote. They tried to do this with the 546 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: right of first refusal legislation, which would have very similarly 547 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: given cartel like authority to the public service industry, to 548 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 1: the to the electrical transmission companies, that the three existing 549 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: companies in Wisconsin would be the only ones who would 550 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: be able to build new power facilities, the only ones 551 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: who would be able to run new power lines. Why 552 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: because they happen to be here. So these are all 553 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 1: competing companies, but they all got together to divvy up territory. 554 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: That's exactly how a cartel operates. Same thing with the casinos, Potawatomie, 555 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: get this territory, O night to get that territory. Ho 556 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: chunk get another one daily Trump Day coming up after 557 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: the top of the hour news. We'll discuss this further 558 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 1: right here on the Dan O'Donnell show, four o'clock hour 559 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: on a beautiful Friday afternoon. Hard to believe it's November fourteenth. 560 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: We actually hit seventy degrees at our iHeartMedia Studios. My 561 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 1: producer Eric said it was even above on his car's 562 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,919 Speaker 1: thermometer driving into work this afternoon. I myself have been 563 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 1: hard indoors all afternoon. I just stepped outside though, and 564 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,919 Speaker 1: my goodness, folks, we've got probably less than an hour 565 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: of daylight. Get out of the office, put the Dan 566 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 1: O'Donnell show on on your AirPods, and go out for 567 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,680 Speaker 1: a walk, because this might be one of the last 568 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: truly beautiful days that we have until oh maybe June fourteenth. 569 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: It is also the second last chance for you to 570 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: win the full Fortune Cash Contests thousand dollars prize.

Still trying to get some more details 576 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: about the circumstances surrounding the shooting death of an eighteen 577 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 1: year old student at a Sata High school in Milwaukee. 578 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,880 Speaker 1: It's an alternative school for at risk youth. According to 579 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, this is the second time in 580 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: just the last couple of months that an Asata student 581 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: was shot and killed. This according to records kept by 582 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: The Journal Sentinel as part of its Homicide Tracker database, 583 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,840 Speaker 1: which is an invaluable tool for measuring just how violent 584 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,839 Speaker 1: Milwaukee is, this was the one hundred and twenty eighth 585 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 1: murder in the city so far this year. That is 586 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 1: well above the pace of one hundred and seventeen by 587 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,399 Speaker 1: November fourteenth of last year. And this comes as Mayor 588 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: Cavalier Johnson was touting the fact that violent crime was 589 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:46,360 Speaker 1: down precipitously because of all of the stuff that he 590 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 1: did to reduce violent crime. No, I'm just kidding. He 591 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,439 Speaker 1: didn't actually do anything. We still have the exact same 592 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: policies and the exact same problems. The only reason that 593 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: violent crime on the sides in particular decline is we 594 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:08,359 Speaker 1: had an unprecedented surge in the twenty twenty second half 595 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,400 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty and then twenty twenty one twenty twenty 596 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:16,280 Speaker 1: two because of the George Floyd effect, where we basically 597 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: decriminalized crime in the city of Milwaukee and really all 598 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,480 Speaker 1: across the country. I've spoken at length about this for years. 599 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,480 Speaker 1: Someday I think I should write a book about just 600 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: how bad things got in cities like Milwaukee with respect 601 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:36,040 Speaker 1: to not just a ferguson effect of police officers no 602 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: longer doing proactive policing because they didn't want to potentially 603 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,080 Speaker 1: have to shoot and heaven forbid, kill a black suspect 604 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: where they would have their lives completely ruined. Did you'd 605 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 1: see one of the police officers in the George Floyd 606 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,479 Speaker 1: death was just released from prison, one of the most 607 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 1: shameful prosecutors. Say what you will about Derek Chauvin and 608 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,759 Speaker 1: whether or not he should have been prosecuted one of 609 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: the other officers who literally did nothing but was effectively 610 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 1: charged with aiding and a betting because he let a 611 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 1: perfectly legal, perfectly authorized hold go on that Chauvin had 612 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: his knee on George Floyd's neck. Well, by the way, 613 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: it was determined that Floyd did not die of suffocation. 614 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 1: He did not die of a lack of blood to 615 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,839 Speaker 1: the brain because his carotid artery was choked off. He 616 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: died of a heart attack because he had so much 617 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,439 Speaker 1: fetanol in his system that he was so agitated while 618 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,200 Speaker 1: being in this restraint hold, screaming I can't breathe and 619 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: so forth, that his heart basically exploded. Well, one of 620 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,360 Speaker 1: the officers was just released from prison a couple of 621 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: days ago, one of the greatest injustices, I dare say 622 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: in recent memory. No other officer wanted to have their 623 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,320 Speaker 1: lives turned upside down like that, so nobody got involved. 624 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 1: So not only did you have the Ferguson effect following 625 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: the hands up, don't shoot shooting of Michael Brown, the 626 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 1: supposed gentle giant who absolutely did not have his hands up, 627 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,160 Speaker 1: absolutely was not saying don't shoot. He was in fact 628 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,839 Speaker 1: assaulting the officer and attempting to take his gun out 629 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: of his hand to presumably shoot him with it. The 630 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 1: shooting was completely justified, but it didn't matter because the 631 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:28,919 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter movement was kicked into high gear. The 632 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 1: Ferguson effect gave way to the George Floyd effect, which 633 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 1: was essentially the Ferguson effect, but also not just defunding 634 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 1: the police, but all of these anti police things that 635 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 1: were bubbling under infringe liberal circles forever suddenly and instantly 636 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: became mainstream, and they moved across the country with frightening speed, 637 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,399 Speaker 1: and it had a disastrous impact on crime. So we 638 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 1: are still looking for updates. We have no idea if 639 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 1: the seventeen year old suspect who was shot and injured 640 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,600 Speaker 1: was shot by the victim who was returning fire as 641 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,320 Speaker 1: he was shot and killed and in an attempted robbery 642 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,200 Speaker 1: or what I think the more likely scenario is that 643 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,120 Speaker 1: this guy was shot with by one of his friends 644 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: who was attempting to shoot the victim. And unfortunately, these 645 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:30,359 Speaker 1: thugs have notoriously terrible aim and oftentimes don't hit their 646 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: intended target. But we will try to get an update 647 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: on that. In just a minute, we will provide you 648 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 1: with an update that just came into me about the 649 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 1: online sports betting bill that hopefully will make your blood 650 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: boil as much as mine and will get you to 651 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,880 Speaker 1: contact your member of the Wisconsin Assembly and or state 652 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: senator to tell them what you think about this Before 653 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: we get to any of that though. Time now, oh 654 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:04,280 Speaker 1: oh oh oh oh, And I almost forgot with Democrats 655 00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 1: squealing about the Epstein files again, with the selective leaking 656 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:15,800 Speaker 1: of Epstein emails, what are they going to say about 657 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: Wisconsin's dem governor taking a weirdly pro grooming stance. In 658 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 1: a portion of an interview with Upfront's Matt Smith that 659 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,280 Speaker 1: Smith released on social media this afternoon. I honestly could 660 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 1: not believe that our governor said what he did about 661 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: an anti grooming bill that Republicans are planning to introduce 662 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 1: in the legislature. You're not gonna want to miss that. 663 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 1: We'll try to get to it at about four to 664 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:45,720 Speaker 1: twenty five. 665 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,720 Speaker 3: We're gonna win so much you may even get tired 666 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:49,200 Speaker 3: of winning. 667 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,359 Speaker 1: Just keeps winning. It is a win for the administration. 668 00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,799 Speaker 1: It's also a big win for the United States. We 669 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,839 Speaker 1: have to keep winning. We have to win Moore. We're 670 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:04,440 Speaker 1: gonna win Moore. The Whitehouse, via President Trump's truth social accounts, 671 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 1: announced today trade deals with Switzerland and Liechtenstein to cap 672 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 1: US tariffs at a reciprocal fifteen percent rate, aimed at 673 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 1: boosting exports. The administration also announced similar packs with Argentina, Guatemala, 674 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: El Salvador, and Ecuador, focusing on intellectual property and access 675 00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 1: to tech markets. The administration also today repealed a Biden 676 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:39,920 Speaker 1: era airline rule requiring compensation for disruptions, which benefits carriers. 677 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 1: The proposed drastic cut to housing grants for homelessness programs 678 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 1: also drew some criticism as it potentially impacts one hundred 679 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:54,800 Speaker 1: seventy thousand people. All of this stuff as the federal 680 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:58,759 Speaker 1: government reopens after Democrats shut it down for the longest 681 00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:03,840 Speaker 1: period in American history. Now, there were some more protests 682 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 1: today at an ICE facility near Chicago, and we will 683 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 1: get to this. There is a planned anti ICE protest 684 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: that is being pushed by a Milwaukee older person. We'll 685 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 1: get to that coming up later on in the Dan 686 00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,160 Speaker 1: o'donald Show. But on Fox News just about an hour ago, 687 00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 1: border securities are Tom Homan said that as we get 688 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: up with ten thousand new ICE agents who are being 689 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,080 Speaker 1: hired in getting trained and getting online, we are going 690 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 1: to see similar enforcement operations to Operation Midway Blitz, which 691 00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 1: has seen a dramatic reduction in crime in Chicago. 692 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 4: ICE Director Todd lines he overseas and turned the inter 693 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 4: enforcement operations border TROW is doing a great job with us. 694 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,480 Speaker 4: I mean, bottom line is, as you know, well, in 695 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 4: the last four years, ICE has spent thousands of people 696 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:57,080 Speaker 4: have done. 697 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 1: On a border to have the border torow and they're overwhelmed. 698 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,719 Speaker 4: Now is the most secure border in history of this 699 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,640 Speaker 4: nation because of President Trump. Now we need their help 700 00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,319 Speaker 4: because ten point five million legal aliens came to the 701 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:12,359 Speaker 4: border under President Biden. But that's the fifteen man already here. 702 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 4: So again BORG shows helping nice interior and numerous cities. 703 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 4: More cities to come, and as we heared the ten 704 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 4: thousand new agents they come online every month, You're going 705 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 4: to see more operations and more major cities, mainly sanctuary cities, 706 00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,920 Speaker 4: because that's where our biggest problem is. Because public safety 707 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 4: threats are released every day. 708 00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 1: We know it. All I can say to that is good, 709 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 1: do it. More ice operations, more deportations, safer streets in 710 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 1: every liberal city that has proven itself incapable or more 711 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:52,479 Speaker 1: likely unwilling to actually enforce the law. Well. One day 712 00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,320 Speaker 1: after a Trump Housing official announced the referral of potential 713 00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:02,840 Speaker 1: criminal charges against Congressmen Eric Swalwell for either mortgage fraud 714 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:08,880 Speaker 1: or making false statements on a mortgage application, Swallwell, according 715 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 1: to Katie turr Over at MSNBC, is thinking about leaving 716 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 1: Congress and running for governor. 717 00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 5: Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell is eyeing a new gig governor 718 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 5: of California, according to sources familiar who were granted anonymity 719 00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:27,480 Speaker 5: by MSNBC to speak freely Swalwell has all but decided 720 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,560 Speaker 5: to trade in his decade in Congress for a seat 721 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,879 Speaker 5: in Sacramento, the big seat out there. The news could 722 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 5: be made official as soon as next week. If so, 723 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,560 Speaker 5: it will come as multiple alets report the Trump administration 724 00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:44,120 Speaker 5: referred to Swallwell for a federal criminal investigation. 725 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:50,319 Speaker 1: Governor Gavin Newsom is of course term limited out, and 726 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 1: he is almost certainly going to run for president in 727 00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. That, ladies and gentlemen, is your daily 728 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 1: Trump Well. As we reported exclusively in the three o'clock hour, 729 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 1: multiple sources are telling me that Republicans who control the 730 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:13,320 Speaker 1: State Assembly and State Senate are going to move forward 731 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 1: with a vote on a pair of bills that would 732 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 1: allow online sports betting in Wisconsin. The first vote is 733 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 1: set for I believe it's Wednesday. That might have been 734 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 1: moved to Tuesday, but last I heard, the vote is 735 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 1: going to be at eleven am. There's only going to 736 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 1: be ten minutes of debate on a massive change to 737 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 1: Wisconsin law, and then, according to my sources, they're going 738 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:44,360 Speaker 1: to pass it on a voice vote. That means you 739 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,840 Speaker 1: will never know who voted for this and who voted 740 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:53,280 Speaker 1: against it. That's shameful, and I should tell you something 741 00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,879 Speaker 1: that they tried to do this with the deeply unpopular 742 00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:01,400 Speaker 1: Right of first Refusal bill earlier this year, which similarly 743 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:06,320 Speaker 1: would have given cartel like power to Wisconsin's electrical transmission companies. 744 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 1: This current package of bills gives cartel like power to 745 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:14,640 Speaker 1: Wisconsin's Native American casinos that currently have sports books, as 746 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:20,000 Speaker 1: if they needed more casino cartel power, as they already 747 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:24,000 Speaker 1: have it on almost all forms of gambling in this state. 748 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,759 Speaker 1: Table gaming and almost all slots need to be done 749 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:32,040 Speaker 1: at Native American casinos per the gaming compacts that were 750 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:36,200 Speaker 1: signed in perpetuity by former Governor Diamond Jim Doyle. Well, 751 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,880 Speaker 1: now it seems that Republicans want to hide the fact 752 00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 1: that they are giving a similar sweetheart deal to the 753 00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:47,640 Speaker 1: Native American tribes. Here's how it would work. Under current 754 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:52,640 Speaker 1: Wisconsin law, online sports betting is not legal. Sports betting 755 00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,440 Speaker 1: is legal, but it needs to be done at a 756 00:51:55,520 --> 00:52:00,239 Speaker 1: sports book, and the only sports books that currently exist 757 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:04,600 Speaker 1: and can exist under state law are on Native American casinos. 758 00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 1: What these bills would do is effectively create what's known 759 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:13,319 Speaker 1: as a hub and spoke system that was allowed by 760 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:17,839 Speaker 1: a Federal Court down in Florida. The hub is the 761 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:23,320 Speaker 1: server that actually handles the online sports betting app. For example, 762 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:27,760 Speaker 1: if Draft Kings wants to come into Wisconsin, you currently 763 00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,760 Speaker 1: cannot bet on an app like FanDuel or Draft Kings. 764 00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:35,160 Speaker 1: You can, I believe, do Daily Fantasy, which is not 765 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:39,600 Speaker 1: considered a pure gamble. Right, it is not considered a 766 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,680 Speaker 1: pure bet. Correct me if I'm wrong on this. At 767 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,400 Speaker 1: one point I actually endorsed FanDuel for a very short 768 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,719 Speaker 1: period of time because I play fantasy football all the time. 769 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 1: I think Daily Fantasy is actually kind of cool. But 770 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,680 Speaker 1: you are not currently allowed to bet on the outcome 771 00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,760 Speaker 1: of a game. You're not allowed to do a prop bet, 772 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,319 Speaker 1: which I don't know if you noticed, but there have 773 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,800 Speaker 1: been a whole lot of indictments. A couple of pitchers 774 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball were just indicted for intentionally throwing 775 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,759 Speaker 1: a ball in games where clearly there was a lot 776 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,440 Speaker 1: of action. You can actually bet on balls and strikes. 777 00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:21,880 Speaker 1: This to me seems insanely stupid. But in any event, 778 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 1: you go on your app, FanDuel, DraftKings, ESPN Bet, whatever 779 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 1: it is, you place a bet. If the server for 780 00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:37,560 Speaker 1: DraftKings or FanDuel that handles that bet. Your phone can 781 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,799 Speaker 1: be anywhere in Wisconsin, but if the server is physically 782 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:48,080 Speaker 1: located in an Indian casinos sports book, then it would 783 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:54,440 Speaker 1: be legal. You talk about a tortured interpretation of law. 784 00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:59,879 Speaker 1: The Hubns spoke, this does not get around the prohibition 785 00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:05,360 Speaker 1: and on sports gambling off casino or off book. It 786 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,880 Speaker 1: just does not. The Wisconsin Institute for Law on Liberty 787 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:12,799 Speaker 1: did a remarkable job yesterday and we went through a 788 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,240 Speaker 1: whole lot of their legal arguments. How this basically does 789 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:22,000 Speaker 1: violate the federal law that governs Native American gambling casinos, 790 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,400 Speaker 1: all of that sort of stuff. It almost certainly violates 791 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Constitution, and it very likely violates the Fourteenth 792 00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:33,160 Speaker 1: Amendment to the US Constitution as well. Given the fact 793 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,720 Speaker 1: that it is very likely unconstitutional at both the state 794 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,239 Speaker 1: and federal level, Given the fact that it very likely 795 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:44,440 Speaker 1: violates federal law, it is just bad policy. If we 796 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:49,319 Speaker 1: are going to allow online sports betting, why not just 797 00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:53,919 Speaker 1: allow online sports betting. But of course, the tribes are 798 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,759 Speaker 1: asserting their rights to have a monopoly on pretty much 799 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,280 Speaker 1: all betting here in Wisconsin, so they want a taste 800 00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 1: of the action. Typically, if fan duel or DraftKings wants 801 00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,200 Speaker 1: to come into Wisconsin, or wants to come into a 802 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:12,840 Speaker 1: state that has cartel control by native tribes, they actually 803 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:17,760 Speaker 1: need to pay sixty percent of their profits to said 804 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 1: native tribe. That apparently was the going right down in Florida, 805 00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:26,239 Speaker 1: according to the Online Sports Betting Industry Lobby, which yes, 806 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,920 Speaker 1: apparently is a thing. You have to give sixty percent 807 00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,560 Speaker 1: for what protection money just to put your server in 808 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 1: their sportsbooks, so they get a massive percentage of your money. 809 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,239 Speaker 1: But these companies are essentially being forced to do so 810 00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 1: because there is so much revenue that they would be 811 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:48,240 Speaker 1: losing out on, especially in Florida, which is now I believe, 812 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 1: the third or fourth most populous state in the entire country. 813 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:55,160 Speaker 1: If they don't go in and play by the ridiculous 814 00:55:55,239 --> 00:56:01,440 Speaker 1: rules set up here, I'm even, I'm not even. I mean, 815 00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,239 Speaker 1: I believe this is bad policy. I believe this is 816 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,200 Speaker 1: bad law. I don't believe we should be doing this, 817 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:11,520 Speaker 1: especially at a time when the NBA is dealing with 818 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 1: one of the most significant gambling scandals in its history, 819 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,800 Speaker 1: at a time where you're getting athletes like these pitchers 820 00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 1: busted for essentially corruption, game rigging, I don't think we 821 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:29,000 Speaker 1: should be involved in the advancement and the expansion of 822 00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:33,000 Speaker 1: sports betting, especially online sports betting, because of its potential 823 00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:39,279 Speaker 1: for serious, serious addiction. But besides that, besides that, what 824 00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,160 Speaker 1: really hanks me off is that this is obviously a 825 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:49,440 Speaker 1: controversial vote. This is obviously something that is going to 826 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,799 Speaker 1: determine the future of Wisconsin. Online sports betting is a 827 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,560 Speaker 1: massive industry. We are determining whether we are going to 828 00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:05,720 Speaker 1: change our state law, are disposition to it, And nobody 829 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:10,880 Speaker 1: is going to know how anybody voted. This just reeks 830 00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:18,160 Speaker 1: of the exact same cronyism, the exact same friendly relationships 831 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 1: with lobbyists. And I'll tell you how lobbyists work, folks, 832 00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you how big money interests like the Native 833 00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,720 Speaker 1: Tribes work. It's not just Republicans. In fact, I can 834 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,960 Speaker 1: tell you the Native Tribes have actually given a lot 835 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 1: of money to Republicans in recent years. And Native Americans 836 00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:42,120 Speaker 1: in particular among all racial demographics, have flocked to President 837 00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 1: Trump over the past couple of years, especially in twenty 838 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 1: twenty four. So this isn't like an ideological issue. But 839 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:52,400 Speaker 1: there is so much money at stake that what the 840 00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,960 Speaker 1: lobbyists will say to a given state senator or assemblyman, is, hey, 841 00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,919 Speaker 1: you're up for reelection next year. I can either give 842 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,760 Speaker 1: you a ton of money in campaign cash, or if 843 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,720 Speaker 1: you don't vote how I want you to, I will 844 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 1: fund with even more money your opponent or someone in 845 00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:15,280 Speaker 1: a primary. It's carrot and the stick politics here, a 846 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:19,400 Speaker 1: lot of arm twisting coming from leadership. And I think 847 00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 1: because this measure is so controversial, and I guess I'm 848 00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:27,840 Speaker 1: hearing because I'm talking about this so much, that legislators 849 00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,439 Speaker 1: are hearing from their constituents saying, hey, wait a second, 850 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 1: we don't think this is necessarily good policy. We don't 851 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,440 Speaker 1: want you voting for this. What their solution is, just 852 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,920 Speaker 1: as we did earlier with write a first refusal. When 853 00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:45,240 Speaker 1: I was actively sitting here and reading the list of Republicans, 854 00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:49,520 Speaker 1: that was just that was insanely corrupt crony politics going on, 855 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,000 Speaker 1: and I was saying, Okay, this senator is against it, 856 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:54,280 Speaker 1: this senator is for it, this assemblyman is for it, 857 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,240 Speaker 1: this is against it. Because they were going to do 858 00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 1: the exact same thing. They were going to allow a 859 00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,160 Speaker 1: voice vote, so nobody would have constituents would never know 860 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 1: heading into an important reelection year, and yes, I agree, folks, 861 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:08,040 Speaker 1: it is insanely important that we get all of these 862 00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,440 Speaker 1: Republicans reelected. I'm not going to sit here and say, well, 863 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 1: if you vote for this, I'm not going to support 864 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,760 Speaker 1: you for reelection. There is far too much at stake. 865 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:20,360 Speaker 1: But I understand heading into this election year why Robin 866 00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:25,520 Speaker 1: Voss and I guess Tyler August are saying that the 867 00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,040 Speaker 1: leaders here in the Assembly are saying, look, we can 868 00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,880 Speaker 1: protect you. We'll have a voice vote, so nobody will 869 00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:34,160 Speaker 1: know how you voted on this. I'm sorry. I want 870 00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:38,840 Speaker 1: accountability on this. I want to know if my state legislator, 871 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,200 Speaker 1: if my state senator is voting for something that I 872 00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:47,920 Speaker 1: fundamentally disapprove. Now that I heard that they're going to 873 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:49,840 Speaker 1: try a voice vote, that there's going to be ten 874 00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:55,160 Speaker 1: minutes of debate, now I'm really really against this legislation. 875 00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,920 Speaker 1: And now I am going to encourage all of you 876 00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:02,120 Speaker 1: if you feel as I do, that this is bad policy, 877 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:09,200 Speaker 1: that this just reeks of backroom deal politicking, and that 878 01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,680 Speaker 1: this is not something that you want pasted on a 879 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:15,360 Speaker 1: voice vote, I will encourage you to contact your state assemblyment. 880 01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,280 Speaker 1: You need to get in touch with the State Senate, 881 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,439 Speaker 1: as far as I know, is not voting on its 882 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:24,320 Speaker 1: bill next week. But next week, now is the time. 883 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,760 Speaker 1: And what I will say is, don't you know, start 884 01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:35,160 Speaker 1: screaming at them or swearing at them. Emails oftentimes will 885 01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:40,640 Speaker 1: be ignored. Voicemails might or might not work. And yes, 886 01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,000 Speaker 1: I know it's very likely for point thirty on a 887 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 1: Friday afternoon, especially a beautiful Friday afternoon, not likely that 888 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:49,000 Speaker 1: you're going to be able to get anybody. But on 889 01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:54,360 Speaker 1: Monday or throughout the weekend, very calmly, very politely, but 890 01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:58,800 Speaker 1: very firmly, call your state Assembly person and say, look, 891 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:03,040 Speaker 1: I disagree with this. I don't believe we should be 892 01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:07,280 Speaker 1: creating cartels. I don't believe just like with write of 893 01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,600 Speaker 1: first refusal, I don't believe that you should be able 894 01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:14,400 Speaker 1: to hide behind a voice vote, that every vote should 895 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,240 Speaker 1: be recorded on what amounts to one of the more 896 01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:21,200 Speaker 1: significant pieces of legislation that is going to come down 897 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,400 Speaker 1: the pipe before next year's midterm election. All right, have 898 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,840 Speaker 1: we taken a break yet? Producer Eric, Oh my goodness, Okay, 899 01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:32,280 Speaker 1: Also I did give out the four o'clock word, right, Yeah, 900 01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:35,360 Speaker 1: it was so long ago. Hey, what do you know, 901 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 1: we'll be right back with more of the Mark Belling Show. 902 01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep going with no commercials whatsoever. No, 903 01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:44,720 Speaker 1: we do have to catch up on our breaks, and 904 01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,720 Speaker 1: we will do so. It is a very important issue, folks, 905 01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:52,320 Speaker 1: So contact your state legislators and tell them what you think. 906 01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,640 Speaker 1: Welcome back. It is the Dan o'donald Show, a two 907 01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:01,640 Speaker 1: or two fource of truth. And look, lest you think, 908 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:07,520 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, as often us in the talk radio 909 01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:13,040 Speaker 1: or talk media field, get smeared. We are just mouthpieces 910 01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:18,200 Speaker 1: for the Republican Party. A lot of Republican leaders blame 911 01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 1: me for killing their right of first Refusal bill. I 912 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:30,000 Speaker 1: know the Electrical Transmission Company does as well. I'm not 913 01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:34,080 Speaker 1: saying it is my mission to kill this online sports 914 01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:42,440 Speaker 1: betting bill because frankly, I am of the opinion that, yeah, 915 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,560 Speaker 1: probably we should be allowing online sports betting. I mean, 916 01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,560 Speaker 1: the genie has left the bottle right when it comes 917 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:52,880 Speaker 1: to sports betting. I just don't like the idea that 918 01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:56,640 Speaker 1: we are handing cartel authority just like we were in 919 01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:02,680 Speaker 1: right of first refusal to the people who want to 920 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 1: protect their own racket. I mean, I always say cartel 921 01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,160 Speaker 1: like authority for it's a monopoly, Dan, it's a monopon. No, 922 01:03:09,200 --> 01:03:12,320 Speaker 1: it's not. It's not a monopoly. It's worse. It's a cartel. 923 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:17,000 Speaker 1: It is a group of businesses that are supposedly competitors, 924 01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 1: and the competitive aspect of this is supposed to be 925 01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 1: good for consumers. Right, Well, they're competing against each other. 926 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 1: Oh no, they're not. No, they're not. They're actually colluding 927 01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:32,560 Speaker 1: together to try to use their control over legislators and 928 01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 1: politicians through the massive amounts of lobbying and campaign cash 929 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:43,360 Speaker 1: that they do to freeze out competition to give themselves 930 01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:49,200 Speaker 1: a shared monopoly known as a cartel over a given industry. 931 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 1: The Native tribes have had cartel control over gambling in 932 01:03:53,680 --> 01:04:00,720 Speaker 1: this state since the first gaming compacts were signed. Roven Doyle, 933 01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:03,560 Speaker 1: when he was running for election, was the sitting Attorney 934 01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:09,120 Speaker 1: General and took just ungodly amounts of money from the 935 01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:13,160 Speaker 1: Native tribes to sign one of the more corrupt deals 936 01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:16,000 Speaker 1: that I think we have had in this state in decades, 937 01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:20,720 Speaker 1: and that is effectively making all of the gaming compacts 938 01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:24,200 Speaker 1: that were signed in the dead of night on ironically 939 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:28,760 Speaker 1: enough and actually appropriately enough, April Fool's Day, making them 940 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:34,560 Speaker 1: effectively permanent, turning them into forever deals. Well, the Wisconsin 941 01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:39,120 Speaker 1: Supreme Court overturned that, but then guess what happened. Control 942 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:45,960 Speaker 1: of the court changed loophole. Louis Butler, remember him, actually 943 01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:52,760 Speaker 1: goes on and upholds Doyle's new compacts. So now we're 944 01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 1: stuck with them twenty years later. Now we want to 945 01:04:56,440 --> 01:05:00,520 Speaker 1: do the exact same thing and say that the Native 946 01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:05,760 Speaker 1: tribes are the only ones, the only ones who can 947 01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:10,840 Speaker 1: handle online sports betting in the state. Well, the betting 948 01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 1: isn't going on on a Native casino. The betting is 949 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,880 Speaker 1: going on everywhere and anywhere. You're sitting on a bus, 950 01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,680 Speaker 1: you're you're in your living room, you're sitting on the toilet. 951 01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,360 Speaker 1: You can make bets. You don't need to be in 952 01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:27,760 Speaker 1: a casino. The only reason to say, well, only get 953 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:31,520 Speaker 1: that that betting can only happen if the physical server 954 01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:36,960 Speaker 1: is in a Native casino is to give cartel power 955 01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:43,040 Speaker 1: to another form of gambling. This would be like saying, okay, okay, 956 01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:49,240 Speaker 1: we're going to allow a new scratch off system. Right, 957 01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:54,760 Speaker 1: scratch off tickets. Okay, everybody loves scratch offs. Right, we 958 01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:58,880 Speaker 1: go on a road trip. My kids love doing scratch offs. 959 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:00,640 Speaker 1: One of the first things my son did when he 960 01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:04,640 Speaker 1: turned eighteen went to go buy some scratch offs for himself. 961 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:10,160 Speaker 1: Let's say we have new digital scratch offs. Huh digital 962 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:13,840 Speaker 1: scratch Ah, that sounds cool. It's like a little video 963 01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:19,160 Speaker 1: game that you can play for money. That actually sounds 964 01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,680 Speaker 1: like an awesome idea. If anybody comes up with it, 965 01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:27,360 Speaker 1: I've got not Let's say, let's say you can do that, 966 01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:33,640 Speaker 1: but but the only and I'm gonna pick on Quick 967 01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,080 Speaker 1: Trip because it's the first one that came to mind. 968 01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:39,640 Speaker 1: It's I am such a massive fan of Quick Trip. 969 01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,680 Speaker 1: They wouldn't even do this because they're such a good 970 01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:46,200 Speaker 1: ethical company. But let's say Dan O'Donnell comes up with 971 01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:51,040 Speaker 1: this cool little gambling digital scratch off game. But the 972 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,480 Speaker 1: only way it'll be legal is if the servers are 973 01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:58,920 Speaker 1: located inside a Quick Trip because Quick Trip is a 974 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,560 Speaker 1: great Wisconsin car company, and we want to have local 975 01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,040 Speaker 1: control over this new form of gambling. So it's got 976 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,960 Speaker 1: to be You would say, well, why can't they be 977 01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:10,640 Speaker 1: in a speedway? Why do we need the physical server 978 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:16,320 Speaker 1: to be located at a particular business. You're giving Quick 979 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,760 Speaker 1: Trip a massive advantage, So anybody who wants to do 980 01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,480 Speaker 1: this new form of digital gaming has to basically pay 981 01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:28,240 Speaker 1: quick trip to store their servers over by the slushy machine. 982 01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,600 Speaker 1: Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, does it. Well, 983 01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:36,080 Speaker 1: this is what legislators are preparing to vote on next week, 984 01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:41,600 Speaker 1: but you won't know exactly how they vote because they're 985 01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:47,360 Speaker 1: going to hide behind the anonymity of a voice vote. 986 01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:51,320 Speaker 1: That's cowardice in the absolute extreme. All right, I realize 987 01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:54,040 Speaker 1: that we are way late for a break here. We're 988 01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:56,800 Speaker 1: going to try to get back on schedule. You're listening 989 01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:00,480 Speaker 1: to the Dan o'donald show. It is conservative thought, not 990 01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:05,040 Speaker 1: just talk because of all this breaking news this afternoon. 991 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,280 Speaker 1: What do I always tell you folks, By the way, 992 01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:11,320 Speaker 1: Friday afternoon, you have to listen to the entire show 993 01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:16,320 Speaker 1: every single week because of the Friday afternoon news dumps. 994 01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 1: Whenever government or business has news that they don't want 995 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,599 Speaker 1: out but they know they have to release it, they 996 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:27,880 Speaker 1: release it at some point on a Friday afternoon so 997 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:31,320 Speaker 1: that people are already tuned out. It's already the weekend. 998 01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:33,519 Speaker 1: I mean, the sun has set, but it is still 999 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 1: absolutely gorgeous out. It's nice, warm, way warmer than we 1000 01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:42,320 Speaker 1: normally get on a November fourteenth, and sure enough, this 1001 01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,680 Speaker 1: is when I find out that the state legislature is 1002 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:50,840 Speaker 1: going to be holding a voice vote on the gambling bill. 1003 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:59,400 Speaker 1: I actually had a text someone saying, Okay, sorry, I'm 1004 01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:03,559 Speaker 1: getting a a number of sources texting me right now. Actually, 1005 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:06,720 Speaker 1: I do have the name of one of the suspects 1006 01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:11,040 Speaker 1: in the shooting death of that eighteen year old Assata 1007 01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:14,320 Speaker 1: High school student, and I'm trying to fight he's seventeen 1008 01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,760 Speaker 1: years old. So I very quickly during the commercial break, 1009 01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:21,240 Speaker 1: I very very quickly ran his name in what's commonly 1010 01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:25,200 Speaker 1: known as SEACAP. It's the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access Page. 1011 01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:30,400 Speaker 1: It's WCCA, but everybody calls it SEACP. No adult criminal record, 1012 01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:33,320 Speaker 1: no real surprise. He's seventeen years old. So I'm trying 1013 01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 1: to say a lot of times there will be some 1014 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:44,560 Speaker 1: mention of a juvenile record, you know, as law enforcement investigates. 1015 01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,240 Speaker 1: So I'm trying to figure out, juvenile records are sealed, 1016 01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:52,240 Speaker 1: so even someone like me with sources everywhere, can't have 1017 01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:54,960 Speaker 1: access to them, like I just it is impossible to 1018 01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,680 Speaker 1: get a juvenile record. I'm willing to wager that this 1019 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,360 Speaker 1: kid has been arrested for a ton of stuff before that, 1020 01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 1: he's got a lengthy juvenile record. Well, and now he's 1021 01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,920 Speaker 1: going to be charged as party to the crime with murder. 1022 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:13,720 Speaker 1: So you know, it's like, what what good did we 1023 01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:19,000 Speaker 1: do him? He's ended a life or was very likely 1024 01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,000 Speaker 1: with a group of kids. I mean, we don't know, 1025 01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,720 Speaker 1: we we don't know. The guy is in custody. Is 1026 01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:28,679 Speaker 1: it possible? You know, I don't want to presume too much, 1027 01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,200 Speaker 1: but it's very likely is going to be charged as 1028 01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,320 Speaker 1: party to the crime with murder. Did we do him 1029 01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:41,120 Speaker 1: any favors by you know, just just having them go 1030 01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:44,400 Speaker 1: in and out of Because I'm folks, they know this 1031 01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:49,080 Speaker 1: is never the first rodeo. This kid was likely committing 1032 01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,760 Speaker 1: crimes for his entire young life, and now he is 1033 01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:56,880 Speaker 1: very likely going to be charged with aiding one of 1034 01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:00,280 Speaker 1: the worst, the worst crime that we have, uh in 1035 01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:06,040 Speaker 1: civilized society. But because all this news is coming fast 1036 01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:09,280 Speaker 1: and furious this after, we're just kind of it's one 1037 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,600 Speaker 1: of those shows, Ladies and Gentlemen, where I had so 1038 01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:17,240 Speaker 1: much planned, I mean a ton planned, all right. I 1039 01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:21,600 Speaker 1: have probably five hours worth of material on why it 1040 01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,840 Speaker 1: is a horrible, horrible horrible idea to shut down I 1041 01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,280 Speaker 1: seven ninety four. That was sort of back in the news. 1042 01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,360 Speaker 1: There was a study released by the realtors. Is a 1043 01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:36,880 Speaker 1: commercial realtors association? I believe that's our friend Tracy Johnson's 1044 01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:40,479 Speaker 1: group that put that. That is Tracy CRW, the Commercial 1045 01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:44,439 Speaker 1: Realtors of Wisconsin car W. Yeah, the commer is it 1046 01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:48,280 Speaker 1: the Commercial Association of Realtors in Wisconsin or something like that. 1047 01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:52,599 Speaker 1: It's CARW. But yeah, Tracy is. She's fantastic, great, great 1048 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,600 Speaker 1: friend of the Dan O'donnald Show producer Eric, you know 1049 01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:58,640 Speaker 1: her very well. Yeah, you worked with her over at 1050 01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:05,240 Speaker 1: that other radio station that remain nameless, right, Oh, you 1051 01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,120 Speaker 1: worked you worked with her, Okay, you worked with her 1052 01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,559 Speaker 1: at the Greater Milwaukee Committee. No, she she was a 1053 01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 1: I don't know if she still fills in on WTMJ radio. 1054 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,160 Speaker 1: You haven't heard her lately. I don't know, it's been 1055 01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:18,880 Speaker 1: it's been a while since I talked to her. But 1056 01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,559 Speaker 1: in any event, they just did a big study on 1057 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,920 Speaker 1: why tearing down I seven ninety four would just be 1058 01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:30,719 Speaker 1: a disaster for the economy. Not the least reason would 1059 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:34,120 Speaker 1: be all of the I seven ninety four is the 1060 01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,599 Speaker 1: major artery to the Port of Wisconsin. I mean, like 1061 01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:43,599 Speaker 1: the Port of Milwaukee. Like Wisconsin's shipping is done at 1062 01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:47,639 Speaker 1: the Port of Milwaukee, we would basically cut off access 1063 01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:52,559 Speaker 1: to it. Most Yeah, most of the road salt very 1064 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,679 Speaker 1: good point producer airic He's and most of the road 1065 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 1: salt gets carried to pretty much everywhere because we have 1066 01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:04,559 Speaker 1: the citys salt pile. Most of it gets carried with 1067 01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:08,599 Speaker 1: the trucks on I seven ninety four. But it looks like, folks, 1068 01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:11,559 Speaker 1: I think we're probably going to have to push that 1069 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:15,840 Speaker 1: discussion to next week because we do have how bizarre 1070 01:13:16,240 --> 01:13:19,280 Speaker 1: we had to punt on the unhinged liberal of the day. 1071 01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:21,400 Speaker 1: We might get to it, Folks, those of you who 1072 01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:23,360 Speaker 1: have been listening to me for a long time know 1073 01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:25,439 Speaker 1: that when we have breaking news, we will cover that. 1074 01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:29,000 Speaker 1: I do want to get to this, and we are 1075 01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:32,080 Speaker 1: going to cover this in greater depth in the five 1076 01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:37,840 Speaker 1: o'clock hour. Would you believe that Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers 1077 01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:44,320 Speaker 1: has taken a very bold pro grooming stance, He told 1078 01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:48,439 Speaker 1: Matt Smith of Channel twelve and the Statewide Show up 1079 01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:50,880 Speaker 1: Front in an interview that is going to be aired 1080 01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:56,639 Speaker 1: in its entirety on Sunday that he likely won't sign 1081 01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:01,000 Speaker 1: an anti grooming bill in the way of the massive 1082 01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:05,479 Speaker 1: Department of Public Instruction Teacher sexual Misconduct scan DPI be 1083 01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,200 Speaker 1: more transparent in their investigations. 1084 01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:14,200 Speaker 6: For sure, But they are not. They're not police officers, 1085 01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:19,519 Speaker 6: and they're not DA's. They're teachers, and they're in the 1086 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:23,720 Speaker 6: Department of Public Instruction, they're state employees. So let's get 1087 01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:27,760 Speaker 6: a definition first before we decide how we're going to 1088 01:14:27,840 --> 01:14:30,720 Speaker 6: implement it. It's going to be really hard, it's going 1089 01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:34,320 Speaker 6: to be tacky, but let's have a conversation about it. 1090 01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:37,679 Speaker 2: So the legislation that has recently been introduced to define grooming, 1091 01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:39,080 Speaker 2: is that something you would sign. 1092 01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:41,840 Speaker 6: Well, it depends. I mean, if it's going to stop 1093 01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:46,240 Speaker 6: teachers from maybe putting their arm around a kid when 1094 01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:49,840 Speaker 6: they're hurting, probably not. 1095 01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:59,840 Speaker 1: I am not often speechless, but I am right now. 1096 01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:11,240 Speaker 1: Does does he seriously not know what grooming is? Does? Like, 1097 01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:15,840 Speaker 1: there's there's a big difference between putting your your arm 1098 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:20,639 Speaker 1: around a kid. I coach soccer. In fact, tonight, Heaven 1099 01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,519 Speaker 1: help me, I am coaching a high school varsity boys 1100 01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:27,200 Speaker 1: indoor soccer game, which pretty much means I'm handling the 1101 01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:30,200 Speaker 1: substitutions and breaking up all of the fights that are 1102 01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:34,400 Speaker 1: likely to start. I put my arm around the kids 1103 01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:43,479 Speaker 1: all the time when I'm talking to them. I again, 1104 01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:47,599 Speaker 1: I like the most. The only charitable explanation you can 1105 01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:51,880 Speaker 1: come up with for this is that Evers is so 1106 01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:58,320 Speaker 1: dumb he doesn't know what grooming is. That like, grooming 1107 01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:01,880 Speaker 1: is not putting your arm around a kit like we 1108 01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:06,840 Speaker 1: all know what is and is not appropriate physical contact. 1109 01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:14,120 Speaker 1: And by the way, grooming often involves no physical contact. 1110 01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:17,000 Speaker 1: I told you you're not going to believe your ears 1111 01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:20,479 Speaker 1: with this sound by I happen to catch this during 1112 01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:23,000 Speaker 1: the last top of the hour news break that we 1113 01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:27,519 Speaker 1: had last hour. What about three people highlighted it for 1114 01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,760 Speaker 1: me on social media. Yes, we are going to talk 1115 01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,559 Speaker 1: about that after the top of the hour. There is 1116 01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:40,720 Speaker 1: a Milwaukee alder who is promoting a an anti ice 1117 01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,280 Speaker 1: rally and oh, by the way, I almost forgot about this, 1118 01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:48,000 Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell's show exclusive. The West Dallas West Milwaukee School District, 1119 01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:52,240 Speaker 1: a little more than a year after passing a massive 1120 01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:58,120 Speaker 1: pair of referenda, is putting a staggering increase in its 1121 01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:02,920 Speaker 1: property tax levy. So much so that surrounding communities are 1122 01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:07,000 Speaker 1: looking at this and saying, wait, wait what they're tax layer. 1123 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,760 Speaker 1: They're terrified that their school districts are going to come 1124 01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,599 Speaker 1: back and do the exact same. No, if you are 1125 01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:16,559 Speaker 1: in the West Milwaukee West Dallas school district, be ready 1126 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,400 Speaker 1: because a massive property tax hike is coming.

Saturday's rally is 1175 01:20:56,080 --> 01:21:03,120 Speaker 1: supported by Ready for This ps L Milwaukee. What is 1176 01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:04,760 Speaker 1: PSL Milwaukee? 1177 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:05,200 Speaker 6: Why? 1178 01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:13,560 Speaker 1: It's the Socialism and Liberation Party. Well not personal seat licensing, 1179 01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:20,320 Speaker 1: no producer Eric. The Socialism and Liberation Party also commit 1180 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:27,719 Speaker 1: sin Fronterras. I'm going to say that is probably commit 1181 01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:33,920 Speaker 1: Seene Fronterras. But okay, I'm just going to advise this group. 1182 01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:36,800 Speaker 1: I have no idea who these people are. I'm taking 1183 01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:41,040 Speaker 1: a wild guess it is a radical pro illegal immigration group. 1184 01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:47,280 Speaker 1: But when you literally have commit sin in your name, 1185 01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:50,960 Speaker 1: I have a very difficult time believing that this is 1186 01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:55,720 Speaker 1: going to be a totally peaceful protest, commit scene fronterras, 1187 01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,840 Speaker 1: And of course, do I even need to tell you 1188 01:21:59,600 --> 01:22:06,320 Speaker 1: who the last group is? Do I even need to 1189 01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,840 Speaker 1: say voss de la Frontra, Because if there is a 1190 01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:13,520 Speaker 1: pro illegal immigration thing that goes on anywhere in Wisconsin, 1191 01:22:13,560 --> 01:22:17,520 Speaker 1: you know damn well vosas dela Frontra is going to 1192 01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:25,559 Speaker 1: be a part of it. Commit sin frontiers. I okay, 1193 01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:29,280 Speaker 1: they're definitely not going to commit any sins though it's 1194 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:33,000 Speaker 1: going to be a totally peaceful and I'm actually convinced 1195 01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,880 Speaker 1: it is probably going to be a totally peaceful pro 1196 01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:42,439 Speaker 1: Why the hell is a Democrat, older woman trying to 1197 01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:46,160 Speaker 1: rile people up at the very possibility that ICE could 1198 01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:53,639 Speaker 1: at some point theoretically be conducting an operation in Milwaukee. 1199 01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:57,400 Speaker 1: I mean, if I were older woman Larssa Taylor, I 1200 01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,880 Speaker 1: would be far more concerned about the fact that random 1201 01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:04,439 Speaker 1: high school students are getting gunned down in broad daylight 1202 01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:07,720 Speaker 1: in our city. But no, no, no. The problem, as 1203 01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:16,840 Speaker 1: always for the socialists, is what law enforcement. This is 1204 01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:23,840 Speaker 1: sort of the issue. By the way, my friend, you 1205 01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:28,400 Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. My friend who is honest to goodness, 1206 01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:33,880 Speaker 1: a savant. He is like the rain Man of birthdays. 1207 01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:37,200 Speaker 1: If you tell him your birthday once, he will remember 1208 01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,840 Speaker 1: it fifteen years later. I've seen him do it. It's 1209 01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:41,720 Speaker 1: one of my best friends from high school. His name 1210 01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,840 Speaker 1: is Tim. He text about I was talking about the 1211 01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:51,280 Speaker 1: ninth anniversary of our show. He just texted me one 1212 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:57,400 Speaker 1: three seventeen. January third, twenty seventeen was, in fact the 1213 01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,000 Speaker 1: day of the first broadcast of the Dan O'donnald Show. 1214 01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm continually amazed at. I mean, if he could have 1215 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:09,040 Speaker 1: put this energy towards counting cards, we both could have 1216 01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:12,880 Speaker 1: been multi millionaires right now. But his skill is memorizing 1217 01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:19,160 Speaker 1: birthdays and apparently days of the first show broadcast. I'm 1218 01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:23,640 Speaker 1: not sure I even remembered that. I don't remember the 1219 01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:26,000 Speaker 1: first day of the show. In the after I believe 1220 01:24:26,040 --> 01:24:29,920 Speaker 1: it was January second of twenty twenty five, the first 1221 01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:32,720 Speaker 1: day we did a full time afternoon show. He remembers 1222 01:24:33,280 --> 01:24:38,960 Speaker 1: eight years later, eight years and this will be the 1223 01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:44,840 Speaker 1: ninth year that were doing the show. My goodness, that 1224 01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,360 Speaker 1: just that took me that, you know, I know how 1225 01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:52,880 Speaker 1: good this guy is with birthdays, Like he knows everyone 1226 01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:56,599 Speaker 1: in my extended family, every birthday in my extended family, 1227 01:24:57,120 --> 01:24:59,280 Speaker 1: even though I've only told him like once, and this 1228 01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:04,400 Speaker 1: might have been decades ago. It's actually kind of remarkable. 1229 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:08,479 Speaker 1: All right, what do we want to do? Should we 1230 01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:12,719 Speaker 1: should we do the massive tax hike in West Allis 1231 01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:16,960 Speaker 1: or should we do Governor Evers totally not knowing what 1232 01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:24,920 Speaker 1: grooming actually is. Yeah, Producer Eric says she wants to 1233 01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:28,280 Speaker 1: wait to whine about taxes. Let's get Let's get to 1234 01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:30,519 Speaker 1: this because I have a ton of thoughts on Evers. 1235 01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:34,479 Speaker 1: I can finish this in about five minutes. First, West 1236 01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:39,719 Speaker 1: Allis Central High School's students today dismissed this afternoon after 1237 01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:44,240 Speaker 1: the police department received a number of anonymous threats. According 1238 01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:46,519 Speaker 1: to our release from the school district, the decision was 1239 01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:49,320 Speaker 1: made out of an abundance of caution to ensure safety. 1240 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:53,600 Speaker 1: One person, according to the school's statement, made threats to 1241 01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:57,479 Speaker 1: the police non emergency hotline after police received the information 1242 01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,679 Speaker 1: at eight fifty am, the district decided to release all 1243 01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:04,200 Speaker 1: students in staff for the day. No additional details about 1244 01:26:04,200 --> 01:26:07,320 Speaker 1: the nature of the threats or the ongoing investigation were 1245 01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:10,880 Speaker 1: provided in the announcement, but it was obviously serious enough 1246 01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:13,800 Speaker 1: that school was cast. I'm sure it had nothing to 1247 01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:15,880 Speaker 1: do with the fact that it was seventy degrees in 1248 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:20,120 Speaker 1: sunny on a beautiful Friday that I'm kidding. I'm kidding. 1249 01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:23,800 Speaker 1: I think this was actually the right decision. Here is 1250 01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:33,560 Speaker 1: a wrong decision going to referendum for West Alice, West Milwaukee. 1251 01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:40,520 Speaker 1: Last November, on the presidential election day, voters foolishly decided 1252 01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:45,599 Speaker 1: to spend seventy five point eight million dollars in new funding, 1253 01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:49,879 Speaker 1: one an annual referendum and one a big seventy million 1254 01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:54,439 Speaker 1: dollar one time deal referendum. Is a first time actually ever, 1255 01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:59,760 Speaker 1: I believe that voters passed an operational referendum, meaning an 1256 01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:02,280 Speaker 1: ongoing Hey, we're just going to give you on an 1257 01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:06,640 Speaker 1: ongoing basis more money because you're not getting enough in 1258 01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:10,320 Speaker 1: shared revenue, you're not getting enough in property taxes in 1259 01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:20,439 Speaker 1: district history. So what happened, Well, it turns out that 1260 01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:25,240 Speaker 1: the West Dallas West Milwaukee School district was wrong in 1261 01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:28,320 Speaker 1: its estimate of how much money it was going to 1262 01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:34,160 Speaker 1: get from the state. They missed state revenue numbers by 1263 01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:37,880 Speaker 1: more than two million bucks. In fact, two point three 1264 01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:44,559 Speaker 1: million dollars. That money's got to come from somewhere, does 1265 01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:50,559 Speaker 1: it not. The estimated reduction and state equalization aid roughly 1266 01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:55,720 Speaker 1: two point three million versus the preliminary projection. This was 1267 01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:59,880 Speaker 1: driven by statewide shared cost changes and a one point 1268 01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:03,960 Speaker 1: one million dollar bond premium credit that reduced referendum debt 1269 01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:07,680 Speaker 1: service this year. So they just they, I don't know, 1270 01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:11,360 Speaker 1: didn't factor this in. But at a recent board meeting 1271 01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:14,000 Speaker 1: I believe it was last night or possibly the night before, 1272 01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:18,599 Speaker 1: what was presented to the board was, hey, uh oops, 1273 01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:22,559 Speaker 1: we have two point three million dollars that we need 1274 01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:27,960 Speaker 1: to come up with. There is going to be an 1275 01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:35,559 Speaker 1: approximately fifty seven million dollar all funds tax levy that 1276 01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:39,799 Speaker 1: is going to result in what's known as a mill rate, 1277 01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:44,559 Speaker 1: which is basically the dollar per one thousand dollars of 1278 01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:49,759 Speaker 1: value of a property. The mill rate last year, before 1279 01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,519 Speaker 1: this revenue, before the shortfall in funding, last year's mill 1280 01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:56,120 Speaker 1: rate was six dollars and sixty one cents. This year 1281 01:28:56,840 --> 01:29:00,960 Speaker 1: eight dollars and eighteen cents. It is a twenty nine 1282 01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:06,960 Speaker 1: percent increase in the amount of property taxes that someone 1283 01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:09,760 Speaker 1: is going to have to pay for a one one 1284 01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,880 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars home eight dollars eighteen cent mill rate. 1285 01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 1: What this means is eight hundred eighteen bucks. Okay, average 1286 01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:23,000 Speaker 1: price in the district of a home is two hundred 1287 01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:25,760 Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars. Now, I happen to think this is 1288 01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:29,360 Speaker 1: probably low because, as we've been talking about all week, 1289 01:29:29,840 --> 01:29:32,760 Speaker 1: the value of property, the price of homes has just 1290 01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:40,479 Speaker 1: gone up exponentially. So for an average home two hundred 1291 01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:43,519 Speaker 1: forty thousand dollars in the district, you are looking at 1292 01:29:43,560 --> 01:29:47,400 Speaker 1: one thousand, nine hundred and sixty three dollars, including one 1293 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:52,759 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four bucks, just from the operational referendum alone. Now, 1294 01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:56,679 Speaker 1: pretty significant chunk of change. Now, who is it that's 1295 01:29:56,720 --> 01:30:00,400 Speaker 1: living in a two hundred forty thousand dollars home. Chances 1296 01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:04,360 Speaker 1: are someone who is not especially wealthy, someone for whom 1297 01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:07,760 Speaker 1: because the cost of everything has gone up thanks to 1298 01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:11,920 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and the Democrats just massively spiking inflation from 1299 01:30:11,920 --> 01:30:17,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one to twenty twenty five, a big increase 1300 01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:23,880 Speaker 1: in property taxes. It's going to have a pretty big bite. 1301 01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:28,080 Speaker 1: The average home will now be paying sixty eight dollars 1302 01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:36,519 Speaker 1: per month. Again, it can be a big expense. So 1303 01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:43,800 Speaker 1: the referendum specific ad ons that were embedded in this 1304 01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:48,400 Speaker 1: levee here, So we are looking at the impact of 1305 01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:52,679 Speaker 1: the referendum. Just the referendum impact in this new levee 1306 01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,600 Speaker 1: about two hundred and fifty nine bucks a year for 1307 01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:58,880 Speaker 1: the average home, twenty one to fifty nine per month 1308 01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:04,599 Speaker 1: total property taxes. And remember this isn't just public schools. 1309 01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:07,120 Speaker 1: There's a whole lot else that goes into the property 1310 01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:11,639 Speaker 1: tax calculation. Your total property tax on an average home 1311 01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:15,479 Speaker 1: in West Alice. Remember, West Alice is considered it long 1312 01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:21,599 Speaker 1: has been considered one of the most affordable suburbs in Milwaukee. 1313 01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:26,519 Speaker 1: My mother grew up there. In fact, I loved going 1314 01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:30,040 Speaker 1: to my grandma and Grandpa's house in Milwaukee. Excuse me, 1315 01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:33,160 Speaker 1: in West Allis. My uncle Steve, who I talk about 1316 01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:36,639 Speaker 1: on this show all the time forever lived in West Allas. 1317 01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:40,280 Speaker 1: I love West Alis. I got a lot of family 1318 01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:43,320 Speaker 1: history in West Allie. It was always considered a very 1319 01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:51,360 Speaker 1: affordable suburb. The average home property tax rate now in 1320 01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:59,280 Speaker 1: West Alice is over fifty two hundred bucks five thousand, 1321 01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:03,000 Speaker 1: two hundred hundred and eighty dollars is your average property 1322 01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:10,360 Speaker 1: tax rate in West Allae. That is massive. That is 1323 01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:16,120 Speaker 1: a huge bite in property. Remember, these are more modest homes, 1324 01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:20,840 Speaker 1: so people who are in West Houlis a lot of 1325 01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:24,400 Speaker 1: these homes are older. They were built in the post 1326 01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:29,400 Speaker 1: war period. West Alice saw a tremendous boom in well 1327 01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:32,439 Speaker 1: baby boomers getting born and people were moving out of 1328 01:32:32,439 --> 01:32:34,120 Speaker 1: the city of Milwaukee. They're trying to get a little 1329 01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:37,400 Speaker 1: bit more yard. They're trying to get they're building houses 1330 01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:41,799 Speaker 1: and they're going out to West Alice. These are older houses. 1331 01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:44,760 Speaker 1: These are where you would be able to find some 1332 01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:48,719 Speaker 1: of these starter homes where younger people they're graduating from 1333 01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:52,240 Speaker 1: college or maybe professional school. They're moving into the Milwaukee area. 1334 01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:55,439 Speaker 1: They're moving out to West Allice after they have a kid. 1335 01:32:55,600 --> 01:33:00,360 Speaker 1: Maybe they're doing what rich dad, poor dad told you 1336 01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:03,240 Speaker 1: to do, and that's rent by a duplex, live in 1337 01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:06,679 Speaker 1: the bottom, rent the top, or vice versa, to try 1338 01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:10,400 Speaker 1: to start building equity, to try to start building that. 1339 01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:13,760 Speaker 1: That was the whole thing was that you need to 1340 01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:18,080 Speaker 1: buy rental properties, which at the time fantastic advice. I 1341 01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:23,840 Speaker 1: have a different idea about investment, but property. I mean 1342 01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:29,240 Speaker 1: when they say God's not making more land, property is 1343 01:33:29,280 --> 01:33:35,000 Speaker 1: a great investment. Now you have to pay five thousand 1344 01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:40,800 Speaker 1: dollars per year. Most people are es growing that, so 1345 01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:45,479 Speaker 1: your monthly payment is going up. Once again. We are 1346 01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:50,760 Speaker 1: seeing the affordability crisis in home ownership. And don't think 1347 01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:54,959 Speaker 1: that if you're renting you're somehow immune to property tax increases. 1348 01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:56,680 Speaker 1: What do you think your landlord is going to do 1349 01:33:56,720 --> 01:33:58,680 Speaker 1: if all of a sudden he's got to pay a 1350 01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:03,759 Speaker 1: massive new property tax bill, He's going to pass those 1351 01:34:03,840 --> 01:34:06,760 Speaker 1: costs onto you in terms of an increase in your 1352 01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:08,760 Speaker 1: rent next year. All right, we are going to get 1353 01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:15,439 Speaker 1: next segment back into Governor Evers apparently not knowing what 1354 01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:25,519 Speaker 1: grooming is what. So how busy was I today? I 1355 01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:29,839 Speaker 1: just now remembered that my wife is having her annual 1356 01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:35,639 Speaker 1: friends giving tonight, and that means that, well, she's staying overnight. 1357 01:34:35,880 --> 01:34:38,360 Speaker 1: They usually do it in conjunction with the start of 1358 01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:44,639 Speaker 1: hunting season because a lot of our friends the husband's hunt, 1359 01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:46,240 Speaker 1: so it'll be like you know, they call it a 1360 01:34:46,240 --> 01:34:48,960 Speaker 1: widow's weekend or whatever, or you know they do like 1361 01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:54,599 Speaker 1: an adult sleepover. But this means ladies and gentlemen that 1362 01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:59,120 Speaker 1: lest you think, oh Dan, it's going to be awesome, No, well, 1363 01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:02,040 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you know, I get some time. Lest 1364 01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:04,120 Speaker 1: you think I get to relax sleep in Oh no, 1365 01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:07,920 Speaker 1: oh no. What this means is my daughter and the 1366 01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:13,599 Speaker 1: puppy will now take over my wife's spot in the bed. 1367 01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:16,840 Speaker 1: And I am told I have it on good authority, 1368 01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:21,800 Speaker 1: namely my wife, that my daughter is already she has 1369 01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:25,519 Speaker 1: already got her blankets, her pillows, she has already got 1370 01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:28,720 Speaker 1: a spot for buddy to sleep right next to her. 1371 01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,680 Speaker 1: I think I told you that she was sleeping on 1372 01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:34,080 Speaker 1: the floor next to our bed. We put up a 1373 01:35:34,080 --> 01:35:37,960 Speaker 1: couple of little mattresses, you know those like little thin 1374 01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:41,639 Speaker 1: twin bed mattresses. I don't even know where my wife 1375 01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:44,679 Speaker 1: got him, and I'm sure she just randomly bought them 1376 01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:48,519 Speaker 1: because she wanted she wanted. Oh. We called it our pack. 1377 01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:52,360 Speaker 1: We had a pack, you know, like a wolf pack. 1378 01:35:52,760 --> 01:35:55,880 Speaker 1: We had the dog pack. So the puppy went from 1379 01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:57,760 Speaker 1: having his own room and he would sleep in his 1380 01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:02,120 Speaker 1: little crate to the crate getting moved into our bedroom 1381 01:36:02,760 --> 01:36:05,720 Speaker 1: to grace our daughter. Then going into the bedroom with 1382 01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:11,120 Speaker 1: the puppy, to Grace sleeping with her head right next 1383 01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:14,200 Speaker 1: to the open puppy case so she could sleep right 1384 01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:18,200 Speaker 1: next to Buddy, to occasionally all of them just kind 1385 01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:21,479 Speaker 1: of being in our bed. So I've taken a while. 1386 01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:24,519 Speaker 1: Guess I get the full wolf pack. Tonight, I was 1387 01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:27,200 Speaker 1: just catching up on my texts and I'm like, oh 1388 01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:31,720 Speaker 1: my goodness, I have had just a ton of stories 1389 01:36:31,720 --> 01:36:35,120 Speaker 1: to work on today. And that said, coming up on Monday, 1390 01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:38,160 Speaker 1: we are going to talk about why tearing down I 1391 01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:43,280 Speaker 1: seven ninety four is a horrible, horrible, horrible idea and 1392 01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:46,439 Speaker 1: is in no way comparable to the demolition of the 1393 01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:51,360 Speaker 1: Park East Freeway twenty some years ago under then Mayor 1394 01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:56,760 Speaker 1: John Norquist, which did lead to some economic development. I 1395 01:36:56,800 --> 01:37:00,240 Speaker 1: would argue development that was going to happen anyway, But 1396 01:37:00,320 --> 01:37:03,760 Speaker 1: the area around the Park East Corridor was a moonscape 1397 01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:08,320 Speaker 1: forever until they sold the land. Milwaukee County did, or 1398 01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:10,320 Speaker 1: maybe it was the City of Milwaukee. They sold the 1399 01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:12,920 Speaker 1: land of the Bucks for a buck for a dollar 1400 01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:17,080 Speaker 1: to build the new arena and the Deer District. That 1401 01:37:17,120 --> 01:37:22,400 Speaker 1: didn't come until fifteen years after the Park East Corridor 1402 01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:26,200 Speaker 1: was demolished, but it's a completely different stretch of freeway. 1403 01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:28,880 Speaker 1: We will get into that. I have done a ton 1404 01:37:28,920 --> 01:37:31,599 Speaker 1: of research on this, but we have had a ton 1405 01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:34,519 Speaker 1: of breaking news. We had the big update on the 1406 01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:38,240 Speaker 1: legislature holding a voice vote now on this online sports 1407 01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:41,599 Speaker 1: betting bill. We had, of course, the homicide and broad 1408 01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:45,519 Speaker 1: daylight of an MPs student who was leaving a SATA 1409 01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:48,960 Speaker 1: High school. And we had a couple of exclusive stories 1410 01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:53,559 Speaker 1: West Allis West Milwaukee dramatically increasing the property tax levy. 1411 01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:57,960 Speaker 1: We have a Milwaukee older woman inviting you very cordially 1412 01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:02,320 Speaker 1: to an anti ice protest with the most radical groups 1413 01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:08,240 Speaker 1: in southeast Wisconsin. And we have this SoundBite Governor ever 1414 01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:14,439 Speaker 1: is boldly taking a pro grooming stance in an interview 1415 01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:20,480 Speaker 1: segment that was posted by Upfront host Matt Smith this afternoon. 1416 01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:23,479 Speaker 6: To DPI be more transparent in their investigations, for sure. 1417 01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:30,599 Speaker 6: But they are not. They're not police officers, and they're 1418 01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:35,320 Speaker 6: not DA's. They're teachers, and they're in the Department of 1419 01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:39,600 Speaker 6: Public Instruction. They're state employees. So let's get a definition 1420 01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:44,040 Speaker 6: first before we decide how we're going to implement it. 1421 01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:46,879 Speaker 6: It's going to be really hard. It's going to be tacky, 1422 01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:49,519 Speaker 6: but let's have a conversation about it. 1423 01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:52,879 Speaker 2: So the legislation that has recently been introduced to define grooming, 1424 01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:53,920 Speaker 2: is that something you would sign? 1425 01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:57,000 Speaker 6: Well, it depends. I mean, if it's going to stop 1426 01:38:57,120 --> 01:39:01,400 Speaker 6: teachers from maybe putting their arm aron a kind when 1427 01:39:01,439 --> 01:39:05,000 Speaker 6: they're hurting, probably not. 1428 01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:11,200 Speaker 1: Can somebody please tell Governor Biden here that there is 1429 01:39:11,240 --> 01:39:16,760 Speaker 1: a definition of grooming in the proposed legislation. Here we 1430 01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:21,519 Speaker 1: go a course of conduct, pattern or of behavior, or 1431 01:39:21,760 --> 01:39:26,920 Speaker 1: series of acts with the intention to condition, seduce, solicit, lure, 1432 01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:29,800 Speaker 1: or entice a child for the purpose of engaging in 1433 01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:35,280 Speaker 1: sexual intercourse or sexual contact, or for the purpose of producing, distributing, 1434 01:39:35,439 --> 01:39:39,839 Speaker 1: or possessing depictions of the child engaged in sexually explicit conduct. 1435 01:39:40,240 --> 01:39:42,439 Speaker 1: That most certainly is not putting your arm around a 1436 01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:45,520 Speaker 1: kid to comfort them after they fall and skin their knee. 1437 01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:51,960 Speaker 1: You absolute brain dead moron. Again, the most charitable possible 1438 01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:56,439 Speaker 1: explanation for that is the guy has absolutely no earthly 1439 01:39:56,560 --> 01:40:02,360 Speaker 1: idea what the proposed legislation is. Even Jill, the state superintendent, 1440 01:40:02,560 --> 01:40:05,360 Speaker 1: said she was supportive of this. I believe our friend 1441 01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:08,680 Speaker 1: Representative Amanda ned Wesky, who's one of the authors of 1442 01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:13,400 Speaker 1: this actually got the copy of the proposed bill two 1443 01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:17,719 Speaker 1: underly during that hearing where she was at the state 1444 01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:22,599 Speaker 1: legislature answering questions from the was it Senate or Assembly? 1445 01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:28,200 Speaker 1: One of the two last week about the grooming scandal? 1446 01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:31,599 Speaker 1: And this all comes from that DPI scandal. By the way, 1447 01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:36,000 Speaker 1: grooming would be classified as a Class H felony punishable 1448 01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:38,720 Speaker 1: by up to ten years in prison and finds up 1449 01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:42,360 Speaker 1: to twenty five thousand dollars. You would have to register 1450 01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:46,320 Speaker 1: as a sex offender. There would be enhanced penalties if 1451 01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:49,880 Speaker 1: the offender was in a position of authority like a teacher, 1452 01:40:49,920 --> 01:40:52,599 Speaker 1: a coach, youth leader, something like that, if the child 1453 01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:57,000 Speaker 1: has a disability, and when I believe the other one 1454 01:40:57,080 --> 01:41:00,760 Speaker 1: is if it affects multiple children, something like that. How 1455 01:41:00,760 --> 01:41:04,120 Speaker 1: do I know? I'm a random radio host. This is 1456 01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:07,640 Speaker 1: the guy who would sign this legislation. How does he 1457 01:41:07,840 --> 01:41:11,879 Speaker 1: not know? Yeah, well, well, I gotta do the eversion 1458 01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:17,600 Speaker 1: pression here. Well, I think we need to have a discussion. 1459 01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:23,680 Speaker 1: Even though it's tacky, we don't know what grooming actually is. 1460 01:41:24,880 --> 01:41:31,040 Speaker 1: Can you even define grooming? If I groom my dog 1461 01:41:31,960 --> 01:41:35,640 Speaker 1: to get him ready for a dog show, is that 1462 01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:39,920 Speaker 1: going to be criminalized. How do you not I realize 1463 01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:42,519 Speaker 1: he's one hundred and five, but how do you not 1464 01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:49,360 Speaker 1: know what grooming is? Everybody knows it. The idea is, 1465 01:41:49,400 --> 01:41:52,519 Speaker 1: there is an intent you have to establish a pattern 1466 01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:57,360 Speaker 1: of behavior to condition a child for some sort of 1467 01:41:57,680 --> 01:42:01,719 Speaker 1: illicit purpose, whether it's the production of child pornography, whether 1468 01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:06,880 Speaker 1: it's explicit sexual acts, whether it's smallest, whatever it is, 1469 01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:09,639 Speaker 1: it is a pattern of behavior that might or might 1470 01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:13,920 Speaker 1: not include actual physical touching that conditions a child for 1471 01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:18,760 Speaker 1: sexual contact. In fact, pretty much every law enforcement right 1472 01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:21,599 Speaker 1: now there is a big sort of gray area where 1473 01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:25,160 Speaker 1: you need to charge a purp. There is no specific griomy. 1474 01:42:25,160 --> 01:42:28,759 Speaker 1: You need to charge a purp with child enticement. Maybe 1475 01:42:28,800 --> 01:42:33,000 Speaker 1: the facts of the specific grooming case don't fit neatly 1476 01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:36,120 Speaker 1: in those charges. So to sort of fill in that 1477 01:42:36,240 --> 01:42:38,800 Speaker 1: gray area, a lot of law enforcement officers say, yes, 1478 01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:43,799 Speaker 1: we should have a specific anti grooming legislation. I believe 1479 01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:47,439 Speaker 1: ten or twelve other states I know Florida has an 1480 01:42:47,479 --> 01:42:51,880 Speaker 1: anti grooming law. I'm pretty sure Illinois has an anti 1481 01:42:51,920 --> 01:42:57,920 Speaker 1: grooming li No Texas has an anti grooming law. This 1482 01:42:58,000 --> 01:43:05,120 Speaker 1: is something that is very doable. This is something that 1483 01:43:05,200 --> 01:43:09,200 Speaker 1: I think should have broad bipartisan support, and I think 1484 01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:13,120 Speaker 1: if someone can wake up Governor Biden long enough to 1485 01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:17,920 Speaker 1: tell him what the bill actually does, he would support it. 1486 01:43:18,920 --> 01:43:23,280 Speaker 1: So yeah, instead of like, imagine, okay, let's say the 1487 01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:29,280 Speaker 1: grooming behavior doesn't fit the statutory definition of child enticement, which, 1488 01:43:29,720 --> 01:43:33,320 Speaker 1: believe it or not, I do not have memorized. You 1489 01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:37,760 Speaker 1: would have to charge someone with like disorderly conduct, and 1490 01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:41,600 Speaker 1: it would be a far less serious offense. Now we 1491 01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:45,240 Speaker 1: can get somebody ten years. We have bifurcated sentencing, so 1492 01:43:45,240 --> 01:43:47,760 Speaker 1: it's actually a maximum of five years behind bars, five 1493 01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:51,519 Speaker 1: years of extended supervision, or however they divide it in 1494 01:43:51,560 --> 01:43:55,400 Speaker 1: a class age felony. So you're getting prison time for 1495 01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:57,640 Speaker 1: this sort of behavior. I mean this to me is 1496 01:43:57,680 --> 01:44:03,160 Speaker 1: about the biggest no brainer in a new law that 1497 01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:09,799 Speaker 1: we have, and especially after the DPI scandal, where grooming 1498 01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:13,880 Speaker 1: behavior and sexual misconduct among the people who we trust 1499 01:44:14,080 --> 01:44:19,200 Speaker 1: most with our children, our most valuable resource, the most 1500 01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:24,759 Speaker 1: valuable commodity that we have as civilized society is our youth. 1501 01:44:25,080 --> 01:44:30,240 Speaker 1: That is humanity's future. We trust them. We trust our children, 1502 01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:36,479 Speaker 1: who we love more than ourselves. I wouldn't trade having 1503 01:44:36,560 --> 01:44:41,880 Speaker 1: my daughter and my puppy wanting to you know, hop into. 1504 01:44:41,960 --> 01:44:44,800 Speaker 1: She still calls it even though she's you know, getting big, 1505 01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:47,320 Speaker 1: she still calls it big bed. When she was a 1506 01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:49,719 Speaker 1: little baby, she would ask, can I go in big bed? 1507 01:44:50,400 --> 01:44:53,240 Speaker 1: I'm feeling sick, I'm scared? Can I come in big bed? 1508 01:44:56,360 --> 01:45:01,519 Speaker 1: I mean the idea that we wouldn't protect a kid 1509 01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:04,680 Speaker 1: like that, an innocent little girl like that from a 1510 01:45:04,800 --> 01:45:09,880 Speaker 1: teacher charge with Now I happen to trust implicitly who 1511 01:45:09,960 --> 01:45:13,320 Speaker 1: we put you know, who we put our trust in. 1512 01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:17,240 Speaker 1: But the fact that there are two hundred some teachers 1513 01:45:17,280 --> 01:45:19,960 Speaker 1: out there in a random five year period that the 1514 01:45:20,120 --> 01:45:24,320 Speaker 1: cap Times was able to find that we're praying on 1515 01:45:24,479 --> 01:45:28,439 Speaker 1: kids like that, I mean, this necessitates this stat I'm 1516 01:45:28,479 --> 01:45:31,720 Speaker 1: a big, big supporter of this legislat all. Right, we're 1517 01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:33,840 Speaker 1: going to lighten the mood a little bit, sin say, 1518 01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:38,360 Speaker 1: it's a beautiful Friday evening.

I was on 1617 01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:56,960 Speaker 1: Facebook back when you had to have a college ID. 1618 01:52:57,400 --> 01:53:01,160 Speaker 1: To use face, you had to have a college email address. 1619 01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:04,720 Speaker 1: It had to be a dot edu email address. And 1620 01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:08,479 Speaker 1: I was either in college or law school.

Didn't the Bucks win the NBA 1636 01:54:09,640 --> 01:54:12,800 Speaker 1: Cup last year or the year before or something like that. 1637 01:54:13,320 --> 01:54:16,280 Speaker 1: They won it last year. I'm a Bucks fan. I 1638 01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:19,400 Speaker 1: don't remember that because it has no meaning. There is 1639 01:54:19,560 --> 01:54:25,759 Speaker 1: no point to the NBA Cup. The Commissioner Adam Silver 1640 01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:30,120 Speaker 1: wanted this to be more like like soccer. Well the soccer, 1641 01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:32,760 Speaker 1: the tournament goes on, but it's at the end of 1642 01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:35,880 Speaker 1: this season is the final. It's like the the FA 1643 01:54:35,920 --> 01:54:39,760 Speaker 1: Cup in England. It actually has cachet, it actually has 1644 01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:43,200 Speaker 1: meaning you can play. You want it to be cool. 1645 01:54:43,200 --> 01:54:44,720 Speaker 1: You know what the FA Cup. You know why that's 1646 01:54:44,760 --> 01:54:48,840 Speaker 1: cool because it is every English football team, not just 1647 01:54:48,920 --> 01:54:51,960 Speaker 1: the Premier League. It can be like you and a 1648 01:54:51,960 --> 01:54:57,560 Speaker 1: bunch of your overweight buddies playing against Manchester City. All right. 1649 01:54:57,600 --> 01:55:00,040 Speaker 1: You want to make it cool, you open up the 1650 01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:05,520 Speaker 1: NBA Cup to like every college basketball team or maybe 1651 01:55:05,560 --> 01:55:09,560 Speaker 1: like retired NBA players. Yeah, g league guys. You make 1652 01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:13,080 Speaker 1: it a truly open competition where it's like your local 1653 01:55:13,160 --> 01:55:16,040 Speaker 1: high school team is playing against the Chicago Bulls. That 1654 01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:18,560 Speaker 1: would make it cool. All right, have a great weekend, Wisconsin. 1655 01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:21,360 Speaker 1: We are back Friday or excuse me, Monday afternoon here 1656 01:55:21,360 --> 01:55:22,480 Speaker 1: on the Dan O'Donnell Show.
