Excellent sir, Let's 4 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: face a competence for you as a special Christmas gift. 5 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: Christmas came early for me, ladies and gentlemen. It has 6 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: finally happened. At long last, I was waiting as if 7 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: for Santa to arrive. Man deadbeat himself, Mandela Barnes is 8 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: in announcing in a video early this morning that he 9 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: is running for governor. The memes, the idiotic statements, the gaffes, 10 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,279 Speaker 1: the open communism, it is all here. If you are 11 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: a conservative talk show host like me, or if you 12 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: are someone who cares about conservatism at all, you should 13 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: be celebrating this second as the holiday that I am. 14 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: Call it mandelmus because he is giving us a sleigh 15 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: full of laughs for the next eleven months. If you 16 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: would like to join us for the next three hours 17 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: to talk about Mandela jumping into the race or anything else. 18 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: We always keep our phone lines open. Forget about open 19 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: line Friday. We have open line every day.

You 23 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: can always email me Dd at iHeartMedia dot com, at 24 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell's show on x, on Facebook, and on Instagram. 25 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: We will be live and streaming in just a second. Unfortunately, 26 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: all of our servers needed to reset themselves right before 27 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: the show open music play talk about your bad timing. 28 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: But once our computer system restarts, we will be streaming 29 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: live via the danokam so an early morning announcement for 30 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: Mandela Barnes today that he is jumping in. We have 31 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: to assume now that the Democratic field is set. It 32 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: appears as though the Republican field has been set for 33 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: quite some time. Tom Tiffany appears to be the overwhelming 34 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: favorite to win that nomination over Josh Showman. There are 35 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: a couple of other minor candidates who are running on 36 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: both sides, but this appears to be essentially a three 37 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: or possibly four way race for the Democrat nomination, with 38 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: pretty much every single poll that has been released in 39 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: this gubernatorial cycle showing Mandeadbeat basically running away with this nomination. 40 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: In fact, the most recent poll that was a tip pole. 41 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: Tipp released a couple of days ago, shortly before Thanksgiving, 42 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: showed Mandela once again more than doubling up the field 43 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: twenty one percent over Josh Cole, who announced, of course 44 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: earlier in the fall, that he's not going to run 45 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: for governor. He's going to run for potentially a third 46 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: term as Attorney general. Mandela's strength in fact in the 47 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: Democratic primary in the first public poll that was released, 48 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: and I'd have to imagine that the Democratic Party has 49 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: been doing private polls that they haven't released to the 50 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: public that were showing Call that really he wasn't going 51 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: to win so long as Mandela got in. And in fact, 52 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: I had reported much earlier in the cycle that both 53 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: Mandela and cal were sort of feeling each other out. 54 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: They were sort of seeing what the other was going 55 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: to do, and that if Mandela got in the race, 56 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: Call likely was not going to well. That poll sort 57 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: of changed everything, because Mandela from that point on realized 58 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: that he was much much stronger than any of the 59 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: other candidates in the field, and he was going to 60 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: run regardless of what Call did. This of course, has 61 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: perturbed members of the Democrat Party because frankly, they think 62 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: as we do, Mandela is half nuts, and because of 63 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: all of the crazy things that he said, there were 64 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: national and local media figures who were both telling him, Hey, Mandela, 65 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: we would really probably prefer if you didn't get in 66 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: this race. The reason Mandela was seen as like Hillary 67 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: Clinton six years earlier, losing an unlosable race in a 68 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: blue wave year against Ron Johnson, who was the top 69 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: target for National Democrats to pick off in the Senate. 70 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: In fact, Democrats wanted Johnson because of his outspoken nature 71 00:04:54,640 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: and because he is an America First contrarian, anti establishment conservative, 72 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: and he was speaking out so vociferously and so forcefully 73 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: against COVID mandates and COVID vaccine, pseudo science, and the 74 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: nonsensical nature of forcing people to wear masks. They really 75 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: wanted Ron Johnson out. In fact, every one of Mandela's 76 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: rivals for the Democratic nomination was forced to drop out 77 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: just about a week before the primary that August to 78 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: clear the field so that Mandela would win handily. Well. 79 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: The problem with that is Mandela won the primary handily, 80 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: but then lost the general election on the same ticket, 81 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: where his former boss, Governor Tony Evers won a comfortable 82 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: three point win over Tony over Tim Michaels. This very 83 00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: much infuriated national and local Democrats. The New York Times 84 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: as well as a local black owned paper, The Milwaukee Courier, 85 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,679 Speaker 1: both put out editorials essentially saying, Mandela, do not run. 86 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: You are not going to have universal support from Milwaukee's 87 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: black community. The New York Times quoted named and unnamed Democrats, 88 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: all power players in the party's infrastructure, as saying, Hey, 89 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: we're real nervous about Mandela because he screwed up the 90 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two race, and he is so radical, he 91 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: has got such a long history of just out and 92 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: out craziness that we're not necessarily sure if we can 93 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: possibly win with him. Now, Why would they believe that, 94 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: because ladies and gentlemen, he says stuff like this. Over 95 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: the course of Mandela's nine years in the public sphere, 96 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: in the public consciousness, he was, of course, lieutenant governor 97 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: and a Senate candidate. We have compiled a huge list 98 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: of insane Mandela quotes. Here in ninety seconds is the 99 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: essence of Mandela Barnes the We're bad. 100 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: It's terrible, the founder of this nation awful, The United States. 101 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 3: Of America is the most wealthy. It is the most 102 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: powerful nation on earth, and that is because of forced 103 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 3: labor of stolen lane, the white supremacy, and the systemic 104 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: racism that is built into all of our systems. 105 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 4: And we're still waiting for a moment for America to 106 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 4: be great. 107 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 3: Here in Wisconsin, it's a little more scary because it 108 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: can be institutionalized and much more concealed, you know, concealed 109 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 3: carry racism. We have the transition our economy for the future, 110 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: and we can use the threat of climate change. The 111 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: simple answer is stemy capitalism the way it is in America. 112 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 3: We have to dismantle mass incarceration in cash bill reduce 113 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: in prison populations is now sexy. 114 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: Police don't prevent crimes happening. 115 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: Funding isn't necessarily as aggressive as a lot of folks 116 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 3: paying it. 117 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: You know, school budgets get cut almost every year. 118 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 3: It pays me to look at city budgets and see 119 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 3: the allocations to city services where there's libraries, neighborhood services, 120 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 3: and youth programs, and the larger chunk that goes to policing. 121 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: I don't I don't think going too far to the 122 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: left at all. We just want to get to a 123 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 3: place of zen. Almost. I would love to be a 124 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 3: interest right. I think many of us in the room 125 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 3: would love to be as interest right. But in these 126 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 3: times like there's no there's no place for that because 127 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 3: it can't happen. 128 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: You see why in the postwoke era, democrats are a 129 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: little nervous about a guy who just can't be a centrist. 130 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: He's not too far to the left, He's just trying 131 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: to get to a place of zen. Yes he absolutely 132 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: believes in abolishing ice. Yes he absolutely does want to 133 00:08:54,080 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: give drivers licenses and in state college tuition to illegal aliens. Yes, 134 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: he absolutely does want to defund, if not eliminate, police 135 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: departments all across the state. Yes he does want to 136 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: eliminate cash bail. Yes he does want to dismantle capitalism. 137 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: Yes he does believe that America was never great, that 138 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: the founding of this country was quote awful. He is 139 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: zoron mom, Donnie, but just not as smooth a talker. 140 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: But ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, 141 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: I actually believe having covered Mandela Barns for so long, 142 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: and those who might be new to the Dan O'Donnell show. 143 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: Might not know why I refer to him as men deadbeat, 144 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: and it's because he just sort of refused to pay 145 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: taxes on his condo, refuse to pay speeding tickets. The 146 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: man was a deadbeat. In fact, he had his driver's 147 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: license suspended, so instead of actually paying everything to be 148 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: able to drive himself, he just sort of had the 149 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: state patrol ferry him around like his own personal uber service. 150 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: He was a deadbeat. We called him mandeb beat. So 151 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: I have been covering this guy for almost as long 152 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: as as I can remember, as long as there has 153 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: been a Dan O'Donnell show. We have been following the 154 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: many exploits of Mandela Barnes, and I believe I can 155 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: actually sum up Mandela's entire worldview, his entire worldview in 156 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: one thirty five second SoundBite. All of the stuff I 157 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: just said about him, everything that he believes, can be 158 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: summed up in a thirty five second clip from an 159 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: interview he did about five years ago. 160 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 3: The United States of America is the most wealthy, It 161 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 3: is the most powerful nation on earth, and that is 162 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 3: because of forced labor on stolen land. 163 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: We have to teach the reality of why we are 164 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 2: where we are, or else. 165 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 3: People will just assume it just happened this way because 166 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 3: of hard work, because of pulling up by bootstraps. The 167 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 3: reason why we haven't seen an increase in the minimum 168 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 3: wage since two thousand and nine is because, again, this 169 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 3: is a nation where the wealth was built off of 170 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 3: free forced labor. And the fact is low wages are 171 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: what's going to keep millionaire and billionaire wealth intact. 172 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: And this all has a racial component. 173 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: This, ladies and gentlemen, is a perfect encapsulation of what 174 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: Mandela and people like him, including Zorroon Mandani, truly believe. 175 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: It is class envy, socialism wrapped in the racial demagoguery 176 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: of people who fundamentally don't like this country because of 177 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: its racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic roots. This country was only 178 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: wealthy because the exploitation of labor has nothing to do 179 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: with genius men and women who bettered the lives of 180 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: countless millions of people by innovating, by creating, by quite 181 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: literally inventing entire new economic systems on which the modern 182 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: world is built. The automobile wasn't invented in the United States, 183 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: but the way of mass producing it and the way 184 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: of mass producing goods for all the people who enjoy 185 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: certainly was same deal with the airplane people have been 186 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: experimenting with flightsho are the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk, 187 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: North Carolina had the first heavier than air winged flight. 188 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: But the concept of mass produced airline travel that quite 189 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: literally connected the world was invented in the United States. 190 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: All of the jobs, all of the wealth that was 191 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: created there for all sorts of people who are not 192 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: only working for those companies but investing in them Mandela Momdani. 193 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: People like them truly don't believe in any of that. 194 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: What they believe in is the idea that no, it 195 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 1: was just Henry Ford exploiting his workers. It was I 196 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: don't know, old man Delta or old man United Airlines 197 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: exploiting their workers. When Al Gore invented the Internet, it 198 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: wasn't a true technological breakthrough that further connected the entire 199 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: world and put limitless knowledge, the entirety of human existence 200 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: and understanding into an easily accessible format for the entire world. No, no, no, no, no. 201 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: This two was exploitative. And who was it that was exploited? Why? 202 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: Naturally black and brown people who couldn't possibly get ahead 203 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: whose lives are just as bad as they were in 204 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,479 Speaker 1: sixteen nineteen when they were being brought over here and enslaved. 205 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: Because remember, sixteen nineteen, not seventeen seventy six, was the 206 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: actual founding of this country. This is his belief system 207 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: summed up in one little sound by take a listen 208 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: to it. This is modern racially tinged socialist nonsense, all 209 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: summed up in thirty five seconds. If if you want, 210 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: if you want to know what a modern left wing 211 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: millennial or Generation Z socialist believes, this is the United. 212 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 3: States of America is the most wealthy, It is the 213 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 3: most powerful nation on earth, and that is because of 214 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 3: forced labor on stolen land. 215 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: We have to teach the reality. 216 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 3: Of why we are where we are, or else people 217 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 3: will just assume it just happened this way because of 218 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 3: hard work, because of pulling up by your bootstraps. The 219 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 3: reason why we haven't seen an increase in the minimum 220 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 3: wage since two thousand and nine is because again, this 221 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 3: is a nation where the wealth was built off of 222 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 3: free forced labor. And the fact is low wages are 223 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 3: what's going to keep millionaire and billionaire wealth intact. 224 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 2: And this all has a racial component. 225 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: Of course it does. Do you want to know why 226 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: Zorn Mandela truly does not believe that you can pull 227 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: yourself up by your bootstraps, that hard work and innovation 228 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: and ingenuity is not the path to success because the 229 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: man has never actually had a serious job. If you remember, 230 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: if you have been following this show since its inception, 231 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: you have been following our coverage of man deadbeat Barnes, 232 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: then clearly you know that the man was forced to 233 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: talk about what it is his parents did for a 234 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: living when he did his last introductory video and he 235 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: introduced himself to the state of Wisconsin when he was 236 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: running for senity, had to say, well, my dad was 237 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: his school teacher and my mom drove a bus or 238 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: something like that. Because he couldn't talk about his actual 239 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: real world experience. His entire life has been a fraud. 240 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: His entire life has been a racial grift. His entire 241 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: life has been preparing him, in other words, for this 242 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: moment to get to the absolute pinnacle of what it 243 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: is that he believes he is fundamentally entitled to the 244 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: highest position in Wisconsin. Ladies and gentlemen, that is who 245 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: Mandela is. That is who he has always been. Coming 246 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: up on the Dan O'Donnell's show, we talked to Tom 247 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: Tiffany as likely Republican opponent, plus more on man Deadbeat 248 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: getting into this race that's next. You know, this isn't 249 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: just some Christmas themed bumper music. This is a pretty 250 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: accurate depiction of what my brain sounded like this morning 251 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: when I saw on social media that Mandela Barnes was 252 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: jumping into the race for governor. It was just pure, 253 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: unadulterated excitement. It was like that first snowfall of the 254 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: year when the kids woke up on Sunday morning to 255 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: see the entire yard, the entire world blanketed with snow, 256 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: and they just wanted to go out and play in it. 257 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: That's how I felt with Mandella. Why, because the man 258 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: is a human content machine. We have got a complete 259 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: list of all of Mandela's craziest, greatest hits that we 260 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: will be playing throughout the Dan O'Donnell Show today to 261 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: let you know just what sort of a wild ride 262 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: that you are in for, and just why it is 263 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: that Democrats were so openly terrified about the idea of 264 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: this guy getting in the race because they know just 265 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: as well as I do that Mandela's racial socialist politics 266 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: are something of a relic from twenty twenty and that 267 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: they may have played for the woke era, and they 268 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: may still play in socialist bastions like New York City, 269 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: where mom Donnie did get himself elected with a resis 270 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: sounding margin a victory, but they fundamentally do not play 271 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: in places like rural and suburban Wisconsin. And a big 272 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: reason that Democrats are so terrified about the day that 273 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: finally came today Mandela announcing his candidacy is because he 274 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: already lost. And as I have explained time and time 275 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: and time again, it is exceedingly difficult to change an 276 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: electorates perspective and to change its mind about you once 277 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: it has already passed judgment and decided that it doesn't 278 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: want you as Senator, it doesn't want you as governor. 279 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: Dan Kelly tried to do it in a Supreme Court race. 280 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: He lost. Brad Shimmel tried to do it in a 281 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: Supreme Court race after voters rejected him in twenty eighteen 282 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: when he ran for a third term as Attorney General. 283 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: Didn't work. This is why it was so exceptionally rare 284 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump was able to do it in twenty 285 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: twenty four. Voters rejected him in twenty twenty we think, 286 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: and they said, you know what, Biden was so bad, 287 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: We're going to give Trump another chance. And in fact 288 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: it was a fundamental rejection of the exact same kind 289 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: of politics that Mandela is now trying to resurrect. This 290 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: is fundamentally why Democrats were always so scared about him, 291 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: and why they were so vocal about telling reporters at 292 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: both the Times and at the Milwaukee Courier that they 293 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: were scared about him running because his positions are so 294 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: radically left wing, especially on crime, where he truly does 295 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: not believe that police officers prevent crime. 296 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: Police don't prevent crimes from happening. 297 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: I mean that as a as a fundamental intellectual starting point, 298 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: and I use air quotes when I use the word 299 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: intellectual when talking about man deadbeat Barnes here. When you 300 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 1: use that as sort of your philosophical starting point, that 301 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: police officers, the presence of police officers does not prevent crime, 302 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: then you fundamentally misunderstand about several thousand years of human 303 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: civilization that the presence of an authoritative figure that is 304 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: a constant reminder, Hey, if you violate society's norms, you 305 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: will face society's judgment and punishment. If you believe that 306 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: that doesn't work, you believe that that fundamentally has never worked, 307 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: then I fundamentally question whether you understand anything about civilization, 308 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: let alone policing or politics itself. He also said very 309 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: clearly on multiple occasions, yes he does want to end 310 00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: cash bail, and yes he does want to throw open 311 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: the prison door. 312 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 3: We know they're also focused much needed reforms on our 313 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 3: criminal justices and also work to ensure that everyone gets 314 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 3: a second chance because they know that we have to 315 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 3: dismantle mass incarceration in cash bill and root out systemic 316 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 3: misconduct in a police departments, in prosecutor's offices. 317 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: Ah okay, well what does he mean by ending massingcarceration. Well, yes, 318 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: it means arresting and charging and convicting and sentencing fewer 319 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: people to prison. But as he put it, it is 320 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: also about reducing the current prison population by quite literally 321 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: letting people out. He even called this and I quote sexy. 322 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 2: Reducing prison population is now sexy. 323 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: You see why I was so excited when Mandela announced 324 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: this morning that he was getting in between him and 325 00:21:54,320 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: Francesca Hong, the other crazy race obsessed socialist in this race, 326 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: as well as the battling Karen's Kelda Helen Roys, as 327 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: well as Missy Hughes and Sarah Rodriguez. This is going 328 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: to be one entertaining as heck primary. When David Crowley, 329 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: who is apparently taking time away from his job as 330 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: Milwaukee County Executive to go back to college and get 331 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: his degree in preparation for his current run for governor, 332 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: when he is the normal one, you know that this 333 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: is going to be an entertaining primary to watch. To 334 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: say the least, we talk with Republican gubernatorial candidate and 335 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: Wisconsin Congressman Tom Tiffany about Mandela, about the field of Democrats, 336 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: his own run, and much much more coming up next. 337 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas from all of us here at the Dan 338 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 1: O'Donnell Show. Big Political News Today. Obviously, Democrat man deadbeat 339 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: Barnes has entered the gubernatorial race. He is the overwhelming 340 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: front runner, where he is very likely to face my 341 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: next guest. He is a congressman and also the leading 342 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: candidate for governor for the Republicans. Tom Tiffany, Sir, It 343 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: is always great to have you back on the Dan 344 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: O'Donnell show. 345 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 5: Good to join you. Dan. I'm Merry Christmas to you 346 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 5: and all of your listeners. 347 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: Also, So your reaction to former Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes 348 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: getting into this race. 349 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, largely expected because I'm sure he went out and 350 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 5: pulled it also and showed that he would be the 351 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 5: leading candidate coming into the race. I mean, the rest 352 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 5: of them are all I mean, it's a lackluster group 353 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 5: right that they've assembled so far, and so it was 354 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 5: pretty easy to pull Vault above the rest of the 355 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 5: group that's out there so far, and Mandela seems the 356 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 5: opportunity to be able to continue his political career. I 357 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 5: did watch his opening statement on Facebook post and it's 358 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 5: clear one thing he's trying to do is memory hole 359 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 5: what happened in twenty twenty two and reinvent himself for 360 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 5: the people of the state of Wisconsin. You know, that's 361 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 5: probably what the campaign is going to be about in 362 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 5: twenty twenty six. Can Mandela Barnes reinvent himself to pretend 363 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 5: that he's something that he is not? 364 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: And what is he? 365 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 5: Well, the first thing he came out today is he 366 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 5: said I want to repeal Act ten. But he also 367 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 5: talked but he talked about affordability. So how are you 368 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 5: going to have affordability when you're just about to jack 369 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 5: up people's property taxes, which they've saved billions of dollars 370 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 5: over the last decade or so as a result of 371 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 5: Act ten. It's the very first act that he does, 372 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 5: and he's going to try to play sleight of hand 373 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 5: here and say I'm for affordability. In meantime you get 374 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 5: to pay a lot more property taxes. But I mean, 375 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 5: this is a guy that believes in driver's licenses for illegals. 376 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 5: I had to get rid of a call there, Dan 377 00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 5: and being cash bail. 378 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: Wait, in fact, who is it that was trying to 379 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: call you? 380 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 5: Well it was not Mandela. 381 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay, that's good. That's good. I was like, well, 382 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: it was just President Trump. He was going to endorse me, 383 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: But Dan, you're way more important. 384 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 5: Which we can. We would have done a three way 385 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 5: if that was the case. 386 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: Dance excellent. Yeah, that would be Hey. If and when 387 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: President Trump endorses I want him to do it live 388 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: on the Dan O'Donnell Show. 389 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 5: All Right, you got it, And I mean here's the 390 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 5: guy that stole race racial division calling for reparations. And 391 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 5: then I mean, you've got all the other stuff that 392 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 5: the Ebers and Barns, the Ebers Rodriguez administrations have done. 393 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 5: I mean, we're paying two billion dollars more in utility 394 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 5: bills through this period of time. We're in the bottom 395 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 5: ten to start up a new business here in the 396 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 5: state of Wisconsin. Across the country, regulations were in the 397 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 5: top ten, and we're the most regulated state besides Bill 398 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,479 Speaker 5: and that costs all of us money. And so I 399 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 5: think you're just going to hear the same old stuff, 400 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 5: only repackaging. He's hoping that people of state of Wisconsin 401 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 5: will buy it. 402 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: I want you to listen to a SoundBite. This is 403 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: from a I believe it was a zoom meeting or 404 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: zoom event that Mandela did in twenty twenty, and I 405 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: believe this thirty five second SoundBite actually perfectly encapsulates not 406 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: just his worldview, but the worldview of the modern gen 407 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: z younger, millennial, neo socialist, racial demagogue, and that in fact, 408 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: you can actually understand much of what you need to 409 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: understand about the modern Democrat Party in these thirty five 410 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: seconds all right, take a listen to this, Congressman. 411 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: The United States of America is the most wealthy, it 412 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 3: is the most powerful nation on earth, and that is 413 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 3: because of forced labor on stolen land. 414 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: We have to the reality. 415 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 3: Of why we are where we are, or else people 416 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 3: will just assume it just happened this way because of 417 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 3: hard work, because of pulling up by bootstraps. The reason 418 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 3: why we haven't seen an increase in the minimum wage 419 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 3: since two thousand and nine is because again, this is 420 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 3: a nation where the wealth was built off of free, 421 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: forced labor. And the fact is low wages are what's 422 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 3: going to keep millionaire and billionaire wealth intact. 423 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 2: And this all has a racial component. 424 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: I mean, tell me that is not Zorn Mamdani, Mandela Barnes, 425 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: Francesca han Kel de Roy's and pretty much every stoner 426 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: on Reddit. 427 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 5: They're going to try to tell everyone out there that 428 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 5: you are a victim and we are the only ones 429 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 5: that are going to save you. But I would remind 430 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 5: mister Barnes he belongs to the party that was the 431 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 5: party of slavery. I happen to belong to the party, 432 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 5: the Republican Party that was started in eighteen fifty four 433 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 5: are right here in Wisconsin that ended slavery, and we 434 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 5: were the ones that said all men should be created equal. 435 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 5: Why he belongs to the Democrat Party if he believes 436 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 5: those things that he was just saying, I don't understand 437 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 5: it for the life of me. 438 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: That's a great point. 439 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 5: By the way, and by the way he talks about 440 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 5: the minimum wage, that's not what I'm seeking for the 441 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 5: people the state of Wisconsin. I want you to make 442 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 5: as much money as you can. Let's have people not 443 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 5: just make fifteen dollars an hour or twenty dollars an hour. 444 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 5: I want people to have jobs that make thirty dollars 445 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 5: an hour. And you can't have that if you've got 446 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 5: a highly regulated state like we are here in Wisconsin, 447 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 5: which Mandela Barnes contributed to as a lieutenant governor. I mean, 448 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 5: you can't have that if you're going to have this 449 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 5: command and control economy better known as socialism, which Mandela 450 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 5: believes in, and your sound bite just showed it. 451 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: I'm telling you it is everything that the Democrat Party believes, 452 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: all wrapped up in thirty five seconds. I was actually 453 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: going through my old Mandela files. Congressman Congressman Tom Tifney, 454 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: by the way, joining us here on the Dan O'donnald show. 455 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: I was going there and I have I think it's 456 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: nine years. It is eight or nine years of Mandela 457 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: sound bites just saying variations on this same basic theme. 458 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: But I came across that small part in a longer 459 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: SoundBite he was actually talking about the need to teach 460 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: critical race theory. This was back when they were calling 461 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: a critical race theory. Now they tried to repackage that 462 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: as DEI. First it was affirmative action, and then CRT, 463 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: now DEI, and now thankfully it has d E D 464 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: thanks to President Trump and just the cultural backlash to it. 465 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: But to say, look, America is only what it is 466 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: because we have an exploitative billionaire class that doesn't actually 467 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: do anything for humanity except forces people to work and 468 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: then selfishly hoards the fruits of that labor. And not 469 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: only that, not only that, it's such a racist country 470 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: that no one other than straight white men can ever 471 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: get to a point where they are in control of 472 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: their own destiny. I mean, it's just, on a deep 473 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: philosophical level, a dark place to start when you are 474 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: in politics or just as a citizen of this country. 475 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 5: So if he is very principled, he'll say to all 476 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 5: those billionaires who none of them are Democrats, right, none 477 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 5: of those billionaires out there are Democrats, like sorrow say, 478 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 5: he's going to say, I cannot take your money. I 479 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 5: cannot in good conscience take your money. You can count 480 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 5: on it. There's going to be a flood of money 481 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 5: that's going to be in for him, and it's going 482 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 5: to come from the billionaire class. And by the way, 483 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 5: I hope he re examines what his party stands at 484 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 5: this point.

We're actually 658 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,760 Speaker 1: going to get into that in a little bit greater 659 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 1: depth than talk about that with respect to the broader 660 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: economy coming up in just a second. President Trump earlier 661 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 1: in the day also held his final Cabinet meeting of 662 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: this his first year in office, and reflected on the 663 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 1: successes of his first several months, including bringing down inflation. 664 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:05,279 Speaker 6: In January, we've stopped inflation in its tracks, and there's 665 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 6: still more to do. There's always more to do, but 666 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 6: we have it down to a very good level. 667 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 8: It's going to go down a little bit further. You 668 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 8: want to have a little tiny bit of inflation. Otherwise 669 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,200 Speaker 8: that's not good either. Then you have a thing called deflation, 670 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,719 Speaker 8: and deflation can be worse than inflation. But we have 671 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,759 Speaker 8: it almost will soon be at a perfect level. But 672 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 8: we inherited the worst inflation. 673 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,200 Speaker 1: That they certainly did nine plus percent year over a 674 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 1: year under President Biden. That only came down because people 675 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 1: stopped buying things, and then, of course the Federal Reserve 676 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,480 Speaker 1: was forced to detrack interest rates higher and faster than 677 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:49,720 Speaker 1: at any point in American history. The president's biggest success, however, 678 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: is on border security. Following up the most porous border 679 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: in the history of this country, we now have the 680 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:57,480 Speaker 1: most secure. 681 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,200 Speaker 6: For six months in a row, zero illegal aliens have 682 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 6: been admitted. To the nonsense you believe that zero. We 683 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 6: had millions of people coming in a year millions. 684 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 8: Now we have zero for six months. 685 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 5: And these are given by radical left. 686 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 6: People that do the numbers, I mean, they're not doing 687 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 6: any favorite that the being we don't have. We don't 688 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 6: have our net numbers are unbelievable. But we had zero 689 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:28,879 Speaker 6: people in the last six months. Illegal border crossings alow 690 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,760 Speaker 6: the US Mexico border are plummeted to the lowest level 691 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,360 Speaker 6: ever recorded, ever recorded. 692 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 1: That is true. We have never had net zero migration. 693 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: In fact, we have actually had negative illegal immigration because 694 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: of all of the forced and self deportations under the 695 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,800 Speaker 1: first eleven months of President Trump's term in office. Ladies 696 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, that has been your daily Trump date here 697 00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 1: on the Dan o'donald Show. Much more on illegal immigration, 698 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 1: framed through Mandela Barnes and the radical left's views on it. Now, 699 00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 1: lest you think, ladies and gentlemen, that we're just obsessing 700 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,399 Speaker 1: a little bit too much over Mandela Barnes getting into 701 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 1: the gubernatorial race, this is less about Mandela Barnes than 702 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,879 Speaker 1: it is about who the modern American left is. New 703 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 1: York City had Zoran Mamdanni. Well, we have Zorn mon deadbeat. 704 00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: We have our own version of Zorn Mamdanni. And if 705 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 1: you would, producer Eric, could you put up the quote 706 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:38,520 Speaker 1: thirty five seconds. That just completely summarizes this entire worldview. 707 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,920 Speaker 1: You have it already. This is how good my producers are, 708 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Just when I thought we had Arman, 709 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 1: my very first producer, coming back after a lengthy loan 710 00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: at our late, dearly beloved sports station here at iHeartMedia Milwaukee, 711 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 1: I thought he was just going to kind of take 712 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,399 Speaker 1: over Eric Shah. Frankly, you take one day off, Eric, 713 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna replace you. That's just how we roll on 714 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,839 Speaker 1: the DoD Show. This guy can actually read my mind. 715 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: This is how good he is. He can read my 716 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 1: mind and say, Okay, Dan's gonna want this sound. But 717 00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:15,320 Speaker 1: here it is. This is Mandela and the modern American 718 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 1: left summed up in thirty five seconds. 719 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 3: The United States of America is the most wealthy. It 720 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 3: is the most powerful nation on earth, and that is 721 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,040 Speaker 3: because of forced labor on stolen land. 722 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 2: We have to teach the reality. 723 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 3: Of why we are where we are, or else people 724 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,040 Speaker 3: will just assume it just happened this way because of 725 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 3: hard work, because of pulling up by bootstraps. The reason 726 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 3: why we haven't seen an increase in the minimum wage 727 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 3: since two thousand and nine is because again, this is 728 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 3: a nation where the wealth was built off of free 729 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 3: forced labor, and the fact is low wages are what's 730 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 3: going to keep millionaire and billionaire wealth intact. And this 731 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,680 Speaker 3: all has a racial component. 732 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 1: Yes, it certainly does. Producer Eric did note the level 733 00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 1: of disgust with which Mandela said hard work, as though 734 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 1: you could ever get anywhere through hard work, especially if 735 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:11,359 Speaker 1: you're a minority in this country. How dare you think 736 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: that you can't. You need us to be able to 737 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:20,840 Speaker 1: regulate you to prosperity. We need you to vote for 738 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,759 Speaker 1: us so that we can take from those evil billionaires. 739 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 1: Now we used to say millionaires and billionaires, but then 740 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: a whole lot of us got to be millionaires off 741 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,919 Speaker 1: of our crooked stock deals. So now we just say billionaires. 742 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,280 Speaker 1: We need you to give us the power to seize 743 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:45,360 Speaker 1: the wealth of those who are making your life miserable. Truly, 744 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 1: the most unforgivable thing that Democrats have done is to 745 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 1: get American people to resent success, to despise success, to no, 746 00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:05,280 Speaker 1: not even truly want success, but to believe that success 747 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:10,399 Speaker 1: can be dolled out like government cheese, that if we 748 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,840 Speaker 1: all just sit back, except that none of us are special. 749 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,960 Speaker 1: None of us are smart. None of us are talented. 750 00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:20,160 Speaker 1: None of us are particularly innovative. None of us are 751 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: willing to take risks. None of us are willing to 752 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,720 Speaker 1: start businesses. None of us are willing to work fourteen fifteen, sixteen, 753 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 1: eighteen hour days to get a business off the ground. 754 00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 1: None of us are willing to extend every single one 755 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:39,400 Speaker 1: of our credit cards into oblivion to pay for business 756 00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,640 Speaker 1: expenses when the banks won't go through, to live paycheck 757 00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: to paycheck, to chase down a dream, to do what 758 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 1: everybody else said was impossible, and to win the process 759 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 1: of making our lives better, and to get incalculable wealth, 760 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,919 Speaker 1: to make the entirety of humanity wealthier by the good 761 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:01,359 Speaker 1: or service that we bring into existence through our hard work, 762 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 1: through our determination, through our intelligence and our talent, and 763 00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,680 Speaker 1: our creativity and sheer dry They fundamentally do not believe 764 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 1: that exists. Well, this is why it was so important 765 00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,920 Speaker 1: for Michael and Susan Dell to do what they did today. Now, 766 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,879 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty dollars may not sound like a lot, 767 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 1: and you'll probably get on the cable news shows tonight. 768 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 1: A whole lot of leftists laughing at the idea, Well, 769 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 1: the Dells gave two hundred and fifty bucks to twenty 770 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:29,399 Speaker 1: five million kids. What's that good to do? Well, they 771 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 1: fundamentally don't understand how markets work. They fundamentally do not 772 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:38,280 Speaker 1: understand I think the thing that should be required learning 773 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,839 Speaker 1: from the time children are in second grade. And yes, 774 00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:49,720 Speaker 1: I am absolutely serious about this compounding interest. People fundamentally 775 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 1: do not understand how assets and debts both compound. They 776 00:48:55,040 --> 00:49:00,319 Speaker 1: truly don't understand it. This level of financial illiteracy in 777 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,600 Speaker 1: this country is what drives so many people towards this 778 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 1: Mom Danni, towards this Mandela Barnes dark vision of what 779 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: the world actually is, that somehow you are not at 780 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 1: all responsible for your own choices. That yes, if you 781 00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 1: do over extend your credit cards on Christmas shopping, you 782 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,759 Speaker 1: may be incredibly generous, and everybody in your family may 783 00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:30,239 Speaker 1: love the Nintendo switch to that you got them. But 784 00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,600 Speaker 1: the consequence is that you are going to have a 785 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 1: debt that compounds month after month after month at almost 786 00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,440 Speaker 1: usurious rates. But if you're able to keep your spending 787 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:46,319 Speaker 1: under control, if you're able to accumulate assets, if you 788 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:50,719 Speaker 1: are able to invest the money that you are not 789 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 1: spending on disposable goods or necessities like rent or a mortgage, 790 00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 1: or utilities or school fees or whatever it is. If 791 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,480 Speaker 1: you are putting your money to work for you, you 792 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:08,320 Speaker 1: can accumulate wealth very, very quickly. More people have gotten 793 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,120 Speaker 1: phenomenally wealthy through the American stock market and through the 794 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:17,360 Speaker 1: American capitalist system, more generally than anywhere else at any 795 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:22,720 Speaker 1: point in human history. America by far leads the world 796 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:27,600 Speaker 1: in millionaires and billionaires. Is that because we're fundamentally greedy. 797 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,439 Speaker 1: Far from it. We are also the most generous nation 798 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:35,120 Speaker 1: on earth. Today is Giving Tuesday. It's the day where 799 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,400 Speaker 1: charities like to say, Okay, after you've done all your 800 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,560 Speaker 1: Christmas shopping, Cyber Monday and Black Friday and all this, 801 00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,000 Speaker 1: give it small business Saturday. Can't forget about that one 802 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:49,279 Speaker 1: Giving Tuesday at the end of the year, when you have, 803 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 1: you know, paid for a lot of stuff and you're 804 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,239 Speaker 1: going back and looking at your taxes. If you are 805 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:59,040 Speaker 1: blessed enough to have stuff to give over, if you 806 00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:03,600 Speaker 1: to give away, do so give to your favorite charity. 807 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,520 Speaker 1: Americans are by far the most charitable people on are 808 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 1: not even close, not even close, per capita, and in 809 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,200 Speaker 1: terms of total giving to charity, we dominate the world 810 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 1: in that we're not greedy. Our billionaires are giving away 811 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:23,319 Speaker 1: six billion dollars of their own wealth. And oh, by 812 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,760 Speaker 1: the way, even if Michael Dell kept all six billion 813 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,799 Speaker 1: dollars for himself and Michael and Susan Dell did absolutely 814 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,760 Speaker 1: nothing else, they made every single one of us richer 815 00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 1: because something that was before Dell computers pretty damned expensive, 816 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 1: a personal computer. They made it easy. Do you remember, dude, 817 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,640 Speaker 1: you're getting at Dell. Everybody remembers that commercial as like 818 00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,879 Speaker 1: the early two thousands, late nineties or something. What Dell 819 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 1: did was to dramatically reduce the price of PCs so 820 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 1: that everybody could afford them. They made all of our 821 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 1: lives better. I think my parents had a Dell because 822 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,520 Speaker 1: they were like, a, computers are too expensive. Well, this 823 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,959 Speaker 1: guy seems to be doing I can remember my dad 824 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 1: talking about Michael Dell and what a visionary he was 825 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,759 Speaker 1: because he dramatically reduced the price of something that he 826 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,719 Speaker 1: knew everybody in the world was going to need. That's capitalism. 827 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:21,279 Speaker 1: It's not just Michael and Susan Dell that benefited from that. 828 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 1: It is all of us. Jeff Bezos has billions and 829 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: billions and billions of dollars. Oh my goodness, he took 830 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:32,399 Speaker 1: so much flak for having this extravagant wedding a couple 831 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,680 Speaker 1: of months ago. And how dare he? Jeff Bezos has 832 00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,319 Speaker 1: made you richer. He has made me richard. Do you 833 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,360 Speaker 1: know why? Because I don't need to step foot in 834 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 1: a crowded shopping mall or a Walmart or a Target, 835 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,280 Speaker 1: as much as I do like Walmart and Target, because 836 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,360 Speaker 1: I can just go on Amazon and have whatever it 837 00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:55,480 Speaker 1: is I want delivered to me for free for a 838 00:52:55,680 --> 00:53:00,239 Speaker 1: small monthly fee that I paid two Amazon Prime. I 839 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:06,200 Speaker 1: want anything that makes me wealthier. Wealth is not simply 840 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,719 Speaker 1: a function of how many dollars you have. Wealth is 841 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,000 Speaker 1: a function of what you can get to enrich and 842 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:17,600 Speaker 1: better your life with those dollars. By that metric, which 843 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:23,080 Speaker 1: is the true measure of wealth, we are all fundamentally 844 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:27,239 Speaker 1: wealthier than the richest kings of England back in the 845 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:31,240 Speaker 1: Middle Ages. We have thinks. Every single person alive today, 846 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:36,240 Speaker 1: every single person has access to the entirety of human 847 00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:42,120 Speaker 1: knowledge anytime they want in their pocket. Can everybody afford 848 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:42,840 Speaker 1: that luxury? 849 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:43,000 Speaker 5: No? 850 00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:47,360 Speaker 1: But can the vast majority of people on Earth. Yes, absolutely, 851 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 1: Why because wealthy people had the idea to mass produce 852 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,719 Speaker 1: cell phones that also connect to the Internet and allow 853 00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,800 Speaker 1: us to connect to every other person on planet Earth. 854 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,239 Speaker 1: It is a remarkable invention. It is an entirely new 855 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 1: economy that was established by people like Michael Dell, Bill Gates, 856 00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:14,279 Speaker 1: Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, everybody involved in the 857 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 1: tech space. They are, by total dollars, the wealthiest people 858 00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:22,280 Speaker 1: the world has ever known. Yes, yes, I've heard. Mansa Musa, 859 00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:26,640 Speaker 1: the African king, was supposedly worth in today's dollars like 860 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:31,480 Speaker 1: five trillion. He died on his way back from Mecca 861 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:36,160 Speaker 1: of disease. Most likely that would have been easily curable today. 862 00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:41,360 Speaker 1: You are richer than Mansa Musa. It's hard to believe, 863 00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:46,000 Speaker 1: but you are. Your standard of living is much higher 864 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 1: than Cleopatra's. It's much higher than King Henry the eighths. 865 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:58,560 Speaker 1: George Washington was the by adjusted for inflation dollars, wealthiest 866 00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,640 Speaker 1: president of all time. It's not even He makes Donald 867 00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 1: Trump looks like it look like a pauper. You're wealthier 868 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,880 Speaker 1: than George Washington. He didn't have wooden teeth, but he 869 00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:13,879 Speaker 1: had horrible ivory teeth that were incredibly painful. You can 870 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,400 Speaker 1: go to the dentist and have a root canal filled 871 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,680 Speaker 1: and it sucks. I've had two of them. It's painful, 872 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 1: doesn't bother you anymore. Washington can do that with all 873 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:31,680 Speaker 1: his fortune. He couldn't buy that. You can. It's time 874 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:38,759 Speaker 1: to stop buying into Democrats' vision of what wealth and 875 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 1: success are and start understanding that things like a Trump 876 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:51,720 Speaker 1: account that allow for investment and allow for the multiplication 877 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,160 Speaker 1: of wealth, starting very small at just two hundred fifty dollars, 878 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:59,040 Speaker 1: but for twenty five million people, that puts them ahead 879 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,919 Speaker 1: of the game. If you've got a kid or a grandkid, 880 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,000 Speaker 1: and maybe they're coming home from college this semester, get 881 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:09,399 Speaker 1: them investing, get them in the market. That's not to 882 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 1: say get them to listen to financial bros on YouTube 883 00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: selling them bitcoin advice, but to invest in solid companies 884 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 1: to make assets work for them. That's the ticket to wealth, 885 00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,680 Speaker 1: that's the ticket to the American dream. There are two 886 00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:37,719 Speaker 1: competing visions of what success looks like in America. The 887 00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 1: Democrat's vision of success is you do nothing, and we 888 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:46,799 Speaker 1: will take from those billionaires and give to you. We 889 00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:51,680 Speaker 1: will play on your envy and we will essentially make 890 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:55,319 Speaker 1: you our indentured service. We will make you dependent upon us. 891 00:56:55,800 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 1: The competing vision is conservatives, it's Republicans. It's saying invest, innovate, create, 892 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:07,719 Speaker 1: work hard, and yes, you can succeed. Was Michael Dell 893 00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:12,240 Speaker 1: born with a silver spoon in his mouth? Was Elon Musk? 894 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:18,680 Speaker 1: Was Jeff Bezos? Or did they just have a good idea? 895 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:22,160 Speaker 1: Did they work hard to build that into a multi, multi, 896 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:27,080 Speaker 1: multi billion dollar business? And do those businesses benefit all 897 00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:32,800 Speaker 1: of humanity? Because if so, then we should be supportive 898 00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:41,920 Speaker 1: of and encouraging the next Bezos or Musk or Dell. 899 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,800 Speaker 1: That's the vision we want in this country. You're listening 900 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:49,240 Speaker 1: to the Dan o'donald show. It is conservative thought, not 901 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:58,800 Speaker 1: just talk classical conservatism and contemporary style. It is the 902 00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:05,080 Speaker 1: Dan o'donald's welcome back to it. Does Mandela Barnes believe 903 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,080 Speaker 1: in the same things about this great country that you do? 904 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:15,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely not. He's even open about it. 905 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 5: Terrible. 906 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,760 Speaker 2: The found in this nation awful. 907 00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:23,400 Speaker 1: The founding of this nation was awful. Why because, as 908 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 1: he put it, we exploit labor and we stole the 909 00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:28,640 Speaker 1: land that we're on the. 910 00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,960 Speaker 3: United States of America is the most wealthy, It is 911 00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 3: the most powerful nation on earth, and that is because 912 00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:34,880 Speaker 3: of forced labor. 913 00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:35,920 Speaker 2: Of stolen lane. 914 00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:40,480 Speaker 1: That's why Mandela and people like him believe that America 915 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,760 Speaker 1: was really never all that great. 916 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 4: We're still waiting for a moment for America to be great. 917 00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:51,080 Speaker 1: They fundamentally do not believe in the same things that 918 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 1: you do, and this has been very difficult, I think 919 00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 1: for a lot of traditional Democrats to believe. I was 920 00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:00,880 Speaker 1: actually talking to one who was, uh, giving me a 921 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:03,479 Speaker 1: story that I don't think I'm going to be able 922 00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,520 Speaker 1: to verify and thus report on the air, But he 923 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 1: was telling me, Dan, Look, I voted for Joe Biden 924 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:12,960 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. I was a hardcore Democrat and then 925 00:59:13,080 --> 00:59:16,360 Speaker 1: saw the light that the Democrat Party that I supported 926 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:20,880 Speaker 1: it no longer exists. These people are socialists. We're not 927 00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:26,880 Speaker 1: arguing about how much to spend on medicare. We're not 928 00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:35,400 Speaker 1: talking about minor disagreements on crime prevention. We're talking about 929 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:41,520 Speaker 1: whether or not we should actually be incarcerating criminals. That 930 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:46,200 Speaker 1: is a fundamental departure not just from the traditional American values, 931 00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:51,280 Speaker 1: but from Western civilization. Going back to the Bible, the 932 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:56,880 Speaker 1: Code of Hamurabi, we always had you remember the eye 933 00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,400 Speaker 1: for an eye Where we get that from. That's from 934 00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:02,080 Speaker 1: the Code of hu Actually, I think it was adapted 935 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:03,760 Speaker 1: by the Bible of a man, you know, if you 936 01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:06,760 Speaker 1: put out his eye something like that. But the concept 937 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:12,919 Speaker 1: was the Code of Hamarabi in ancient Sumeria. Democrats want 938 01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:17,800 Speaker 1: to undo that. They are undoing the very idea of 939 01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:23,160 Speaker 1: gender and sex. If you can just sort of change 940 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:26,440 Speaker 1: your gender willy nilly, that's not just flying in the 941 01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,360 Speaker 1: face of Western civilization or human civilization. That's flying in 942 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:37,960 Speaker 1: the face of life of life. We are biologically one 943 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 1: sex or not. Sure, there are a tiny, tiny, tiny 944 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:46,520 Speaker 1: percentage of children who are born with both sex organs. 945 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 1: That's a very small exception everything else. If you feel 946 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:56,720 Speaker 1: like a woman, unless you are Shanaia Twain, you probably 947 01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,640 Speaker 1: are mentally ill. For those who don't get that joke, 948 01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:06,000 Speaker 1: listen to your late nineties early two thousand's pop country crossover. 949 01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 1: That was Shania Twain, Right, man, I feel like a woman? 950 01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,720 Speaker 1: What was the Martina McBride one that was really big? 951 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:13,000 Speaker 5: Was that? 952 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 1: I hope you dance? That sounds about right. Democrats aren't 953 01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:24,600 Speaker 1: just radical on political things. They are radical in their 954 01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:30,400 Speaker 1: ideas about what makes us all human beings. That is 955 01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:37,080 Speaker 1: a fundamental shift from everything else we have ever believed 956 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:41,280 Speaker 1: as a civilization. That is how out there the modern 957 01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:47,680 Speaker 1: socialist left is. It's not an American phenomenon. This is worldwide. 958 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:51,880 Speaker 1: And nowhere is this more prevalent than in the idea 959 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:56,640 Speaker 1: that we can just sort of import people from all 960 01:01:56,680 --> 01:02:00,760 Speaker 1: across the globe and dump them into what amounts to 961 01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,960 Speaker 1: now an economic opportunity zone to make up for the 962 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:11,080 Speaker 1: past sins of capitalism and colonialism, the idea of illegal 963 01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 1: immigration as a political, socio economic, and revenge tool. We 964 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,760 Speaker 1: will get into that, plus a very cool announcement coming 965 01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:24,560 Speaker 1: up next here on the Dan o'donald Show. Stay tuned, 966 01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:31,240 Speaker 1: we'll be right back.

So 1016 01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:21,120 Speaker 1: call eight hundred three eight three three one three one. 1017 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:26,120 Speaker 1: It is the Dan O'Donnell Show European Getaway to Prague 1018 01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:31,560 Speaker 1: April sixteenth through the twenty first of twenty twenty six. 1019 01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 1: Again the website Cruise dash tour dot com. There is 1020 01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:44,680 Speaker 1: nowhere where the radicalism of the modern American left is 1021 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:49,760 Speaker 1: more evident than in illegal immigration. They truly do believe 1022 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:55,000 Speaker 1: that the concept of borders, that the concept of individual 1023 01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:59,760 Speaker 1: nation states is one that either is outdated by a 1024 01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:04,400 Speaker 1: few centuries or was never actually valid at all. Moreover, 1025 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 1: they do believe it. If you want to understand at 1026 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:13,760 Speaker 1: sort of a deeper philosophical level, why it is that 1027 01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:18,760 Speaker 1: Democrats want illegal immigrants to flood our streets, to drive 1028 01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:22,680 Speaker 1: up the cost of housing, to commit crimes by the 1029 01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:27,480 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands, and they never want to send them back. Yes, 1030 01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:32,840 Speaker 1: the answer is political, but it's also cultural, it's also socioeconomic, 1031 01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:36,200 Speaker 1: and it all does get back to this idea that 1032 01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:41,800 Speaker 1: Mandela was expressing, that America is fundamentally illegitimate because it 1033 01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:48,200 Speaker 1: is indentured servitude, slavery, forced labor, as he put it, 1034 01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:54,040 Speaker 1: on stolen land. The idea is ray Conquista. Now, the 1035 01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:59,720 Speaker 1: original Rayconquista was in Spain, where the Spanish wanted to 1036 01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:03,000 Speaker 1: take back a substantial part of their country from the 1037 01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:08,160 Speaker 1: Moors Muslim invaders from centuries earlier, who took over ray 1038 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:13,120 Speaker 1: Conquista as it exists as a concept today is the 1039 01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:17,759 Speaker 1: idea that Mexicans, who are still apparently bitter about losing 1040 01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:21,800 Speaker 1: Texas in the Texas American War, are excuse me a 1041 01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:27,639 Speaker 1: Mexican American war, that America is actually rightfully theirs, and 1042 01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:33,240 Speaker 1: that all people who are black, brown and thus exploited 1043 01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:40,960 Speaker 1: by white colonialists need to infiltrate the United States and 1044 01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:44,920 Speaker 1: make it their own. Make no effort whatsoever to assimilate 1045 01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:49,200 Speaker 1: to broader American culture, because they fundamentally don't believe that 1046 01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:57,280 Speaker 1: we have a unique, distinct American culture. Get the jobs, 1047 01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:05,840 Speaker 1: take over politically, be fruitful and multiply, and essentially take 1048 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 1: over all systems of power. It's socialism wrapped in not 1049 01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:18,800 Speaker 1: economic grievance per se, but racial grievance. The idea is 1050 01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:23,120 Speaker 1: to import a whole bunch of people that will give 1051 01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:29,439 Speaker 1: Democrats permanent power, but will also fundamentally transform this country 1052 01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:34,920 Speaker 1: into one that is more openly accepting of a socialist state. 1053 01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:44,080 Speaker 1: That's what this is all about. Illegal aliens, therefore, are 1054 01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:48,680 Speaker 1: a protected class to the Left. No matter what they do, 1055 01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:53,720 Speaker 1: it is always presumed, because remember, they have a shockingly 1056 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:58,720 Speaker 1: black and white right and wrong, left and right dogmatic 1057 01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:02,960 Speaker 1: worldview in which people can be put into two broad 1058 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:11,560 Speaker 1: classes oppressors and the oppressed, colonizers and the colonized. The colonized, 1059 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:16,320 Speaker 1: regardless of what they, as an individual person might have done, 1060 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:21,960 Speaker 1: because they belong to that colonized oppressed class are presumed 1061 01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:27,040 Speaker 1: to be virtuous and thus must be rewarded simply for existing. 1062 01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,720 Speaker 1: This is why we get asinine statements like this from 1063 01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:37,920 Speaker 1: Barnes that illegal aliens should be rewarded with drivers' licenses that, oh, 1064 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 1: by the way, they could probably use to vote for 1065 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:44,040 Speaker 1: people like Mandela Barnes, and they should get in state 1066 01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:45,080 Speaker 1: college tuition. 1067 01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:47,760 Speaker 3: We need an immigration system that treats all people with 1068 01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:51,080 Speaker 3: dignity and with respect, a system that says that no 1069 01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,559 Speaker 3: human being is illegal, and in our states, we can 1070 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,200 Speaker 3: start by making sure that immigrants have access to driver's 1071 01:10:57,280 --> 01:11:00,680 Speaker 3: licenses and in state college tuition because they too are 1072 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 3: a part of our community. But Congress was the Act 1073 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:07,479 Speaker 3: to create a path for citizenship instead of doubling down 1074 01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:08,920 Speaker 3: on a militarized border wall. 1075 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:13,639 Speaker 1: So let's see, you import millions of people into this country. 1076 01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:18,519 Speaker 1: You entice them into this country with things like drivers' 1077 01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:22,040 Speaker 1: licenses and cheaper college tuition for their kids. And the 1078 01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:26,000 Speaker 1: biggest enticement of all, if you come here and just 1079 01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,720 Speaker 1: sort of stay long enough, you will be an American 1080 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,160 Speaker 1: citizen and you will be able to vote again for 1081 01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:38,760 Speaker 1: people like Mandela Barnes, not only And this is why 1082 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:43,360 Speaker 1: it is so important that President Trump wants to halt 1083 01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:48,360 Speaker 1: immigration from so called third world countries. Do you realize, 1084 01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:51,479 Speaker 1: unless you think this is somehow the most racist thing 1085 01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,760 Speaker 1: you've ever heard, do you realize that we halted immigration 1086 01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,879 Speaker 1: from so called white countries for a period of about 1087 01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:02,280 Speaker 1: forty years in this country. Why because we wanted to 1088 01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,439 Speaker 1: allow all of the immigrants from Germany and Italy and 1089 01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 1: Ireland and England and basically all of Europe to be 1090 01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:14,080 Speaker 1: able to assimilate. So we paused immigration from the nineteen 1091 01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:18,680 Speaker 1: twenties to the nineteen sixties The idea was so that 1092 01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:22,880 Speaker 1: these people would have time to have children, and those 1093 01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,200 Speaker 1: children would grow up and have children of their own, 1094 01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:29,240 Speaker 1: and they would assimilate into broader American culture. Did they 1095 01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:35,560 Speaker 1: lose their Italian culture? My family still makes Italian Christmas 1096 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:40,360 Speaker 1: cookies using my great grandmother's recipe to this day. It's 1097 01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:44,280 Speaker 1: one of our favorite Christmas traditions. They use a lot 1098 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:47,000 Speaker 1: of annis, so all the cookies kind of taste a 1099 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,960 Speaker 1: little bit like black licorice. I've never been a huge fan, 1100 01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:54,320 Speaker 1: but it's always been a great tradition with my mom 1101 01:12:54,800 --> 01:13:01,080 Speaker 1: to make Italian Christmas cookies. On Set Patrick's Day, we 1102 01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:04,439 Speaker 1: always get together with my dad for corned beef and 1103 01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:09,280 Speaker 1: cabbage and we listen to the Irish rovers. We celebrate 1104 01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:13,720 Speaker 1: our Irish heritage, but we are American. I don't identify 1105 01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:17,559 Speaker 1: myself as Irish or Sicilian first. I am a red 1106 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:22,719 Speaker 1: blooded American who is proud of his family's roots. People 1107 01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:26,439 Speaker 1: like Mandela Barnes do not want any assimilation. They do 1108 01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:29,160 Speaker 1: not want you to be American first. They want you 1109 01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,120 Speaker 1: perpetually at war with other people. Just look at what 1110 01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,439 Speaker 1: happened in Minneapolis. Do you know how Jacob Frey actually 1111 01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:38,799 Speaker 1: won the massive Somali population, all of whom were apparently 1112 01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:43,040 Speaker 1: committing massive amounts of welfare fraud by all claiming to 1113 01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,840 Speaker 1: have autistic kids so they could send money back to 1114 01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:50,880 Speaker 1: the terrorist network Al Shabab. Jacob Fray actually won by 1115 01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:56,720 Speaker 1: playing two Somali tribal rivalries and getting all of the 1116 01:13:56,880 --> 01:14:00,639 Speaker 1: Somali voters who are not part of his chief rival, 1117 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:06,439 Speaker 1: Omar Fat his tribe, to vote against Fate. That's how 1118 01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:10,240 Speaker 1: Jacob Frey won. We are literally so Balkanized in this 1119 01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:13,679 Speaker 1: country now that citywide elections and one of the biggest 1120 01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:17,320 Speaker 1: cities in the United States of America is now dependent 1121 01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:24,360 Speaker 1: upon tribal Somali politics. How messed up is that? Do 1122 01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:28,320 Speaker 1: you think any of those Somalis consider themselves Americans first? 1123 01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:34,560 Speaker 1: When they're persuaded to vote based on ancient tribal loyalty 1124 01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:43,080 Speaker 1: and ancient tribal animus, that's fundamentally incompatible with American democracy, 1125 01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 1: American jurisprudence, and American culture. You noticed, you know why 1126 01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:51,599 Speaker 1: we still talk about the famous feud between the hat 1127 01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,280 Speaker 1: Fields and the McCoys in the count because it's so rare. 1128 01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:59,000 Speaker 1: It's so rare that we have these clan rivalries. It 1129 01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 1: doesn't happen in the United States. We are a fundamentally 1130 01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:07,120 Speaker 1: different people. The idea that we're importing millions of people 1131 01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:10,240 Speaker 1: who don't think like it has nothing to do with race. 1132 01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,720 Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with skin color, It has 1133 01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,320 Speaker 1: nothing to do with ethnicity. It has everything to do 1134 01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:20,720 Speaker 1: with philosophy. If you are compatible with American philosophy, with 1135 01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:24,960 Speaker 1: Western philosophy, if you think in broad terms, and we 1136 01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:29,640 Speaker 1: have a massive spectrum of political and philosophical thought in 1137 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:33,120 Speaker 1: this country, but there is some thought that just and 1138 01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,640 Speaker 1: there is some philosophy, and there is some culture and 1139 01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:39,880 Speaker 1: lifestyle that is fundamentally incompatible. We will discuss and expand 1140 01:15:39,960 --> 01:15:42,400 Speaker 1: upon that when we come back right here on the 1141 01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:48,479 Speaker 1: Dan o'donald Show.

Unfortunately, we had 1151 01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:21,240 Speaker 1: to give up on the live stream today. I'm not 1152 01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,840 Speaker 1: exactly sure what's going on right now. We are having 1153 01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:28,800 Speaker 1: some serious internet issues for some reason. I cannot get 1154 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:32,760 Speaker 1: an Ethernet connection and our Wi Fi connection and here 1155 01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:37,160 Speaker 1: is just not good enough. I'm assuming there's some driver 1156 01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:40,720 Speaker 1: that's out of date. It just started acting up and 1157 01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:45,280 Speaker 1: we just aren't able to finish the stream. Plenty of 1158 01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:50,800 Speaker 1: time though to work on that. I am actually going 1159 01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:53,680 Speaker 1: to be off the rest of the week after today. Unfortunately, 1160 01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:57,040 Speaker 1: I know, folks, I did not want to either duty calls. 1161 01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:01,240 Speaker 1: It is my brother. My brother is getting married actually, 1162 01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,960 Speaker 1: so we are going out of town, out of the country. 1163 01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:08,160 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I will be back next Monday. Yes, 1164 01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:12,680 Speaker 1: I am aware of the timing of this. Who you 1165 01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:16,320 Speaker 1: are off Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday, will 1166 01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:18,880 Speaker 1: be off for Christmas in a couple of weeks, and 1167 01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:24,160 Speaker 1: sandwiched in there is a jaunt to Mexico City for 1168 01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:30,000 Speaker 1: a wedding. Yes, Mexico City. I'm actually really looking forward 1169 01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:32,439 Speaker 1: to it. It is one of the world's great cities 1170 01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:35,479 Speaker 1: and it is going to be a lot of fun. 1171 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:40,360 Speaker 1: You want to know how radical Mandela Barnes is going 1172 01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:47,080 Speaker 1: to be? Do you want to know what Democrats would 1173 01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:51,800 Speaker 1: be empowered to do in the state legislature if he 1174 01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:55,040 Speaker 1: is elected governor, which would likely mean that they take 1175 01:17:55,080 --> 01:17:58,280 Speaker 1: over both houses of the legislature, the Assembly where they 1176 01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,479 Speaker 1: need to pick up ten seats and the Senate, where 1177 01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:03,680 Speaker 1: they just need a net pickup of one. Here is 1178 01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:09,320 Speaker 1: a proposed bill by fellow Democrat candidate for governor, Kelda 1179 01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,679 Speaker 1: Helen Royes. She is a state Senator. She has joined 1180 01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:21,439 Speaker 1: with Representative Anne Rowe to sponsor the Pregnancy Loss Protection Act. 1181 01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:27,519 Speaker 1: Now what does that mean? Well, let them explain. In 1182 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:32,520 Speaker 1: states across the country, women are being jailed and prosecuted 1183 01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:38,320 Speaker 1: for experiencing a miscarriage or still birth, an often traumatic 1184 01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:44,320 Speaker 1: and physically difficult loss of pregnancy. Miscarriage, medically known as 1185 01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:49,400 Speaker 1: spontaneous abortion, is a pregnancy loss during the first twenty 1186 01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:52,960 Speaker 1: weeks of gestation, and it is surprisingly common, with an 1187 01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:56,880 Speaker 1: estimated ten to twenty percent of pregnancies ending in spontaneous abortion. 1188 01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,760 Speaker 1: A still birth is a pregnancy loss that occurs after 1189 01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:05,880 Speaker 1: two twenty weeks of gestation but before birth. Pregnancy loss 1190 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,920 Speaker 1: can take an enormous physical tool on women and can 1191 01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:12,800 Speaker 1: be emotionally devastating to the person experiencing the loss, as 1192 01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:16,040 Speaker 1: well as her partner, family, and loved ones. Unfortunately, the 1193 01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:19,719 Speaker 1: stigma surrounding pregnancy loss can make it difficult for people 1194 01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,920 Speaker 1: to talk about, obscuring how common an experience it is. 1195 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:26,639 Speaker 1: The vast majority of miscarriages occur naturally and without clear 1196 01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:31,840 Speaker 1: explanation for why. Postdobs. The United States has seen an 1197 01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:36,800 Speaker 1: alarming rise in the number of people being targeted by police, prosecutors, 1198 01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 1: and even healthcare providers because of their pregnancy outcomes. Anti 1199 01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:46,720 Speaker 1: abortion prosecutors are using state power to harass, target, and 1200 01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:50,240 Speaker 1: punish women whom they suspect might have contributed to their 1201 01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:54,040 Speaker 1: pregnancy losses, often without evidence, even in states where women 1202 01:19:54,080 --> 01:20:01,799 Speaker 1: cannot be prosecuted for ending or attempting to end their pregnancy. Folks, 1203 01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:08,000 Speaker 1: this is not happening in any appreciable numbers whatsoever. In fact, 1204 01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:12,320 Speaker 1: there are a grand total of about two cases over 1205 01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:16,080 Speaker 1: the post row period of mid twenty twenty two to 1206 01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:25,720 Speaker 1: today that have any real significance. One is in Ohio 1207 01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:31,360 Speaker 1: that is actually cited in the co sponsorship memorandum that 1208 01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:37,000 Speaker 1: Democrats put out. Britney Watts an Ohio woman who was 1209 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:40,920 Speaker 1: turned away from the hospital during her miscarriage, causing her 1210 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:45,240 Speaker 1: life to be dangerously at risk. She eventually miscarried at 1211 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,280 Speaker 1: home and later police came to her home and destroyed 1212 01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:52,000 Speaker 1: her toilet, interrogating her as she lay in a hospital bed, 1213 01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,800 Speaker 1: and was charged with felony abuse of a corpse, a 1214 01:20:54,920 --> 01:21:02,719 Speaker 1: charge carrying a four year sentence. Okay, first of all, 1215 01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:06,000 Speaker 1: Watts left the hospital. She was not kicked out of 1216 01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,960 Speaker 1: the hospital. She left the hospital against the advice of 1217 01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 1: her doctors. The hospital was actually working to save the child. Watts, 1218 01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:21,040 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, took off. She went home, and she 1219 01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:26,880 Speaker 1: did suffer a miscarriage in her toilet because the belief 1220 01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:34,240 Speaker 1: was that she was attempting to essentially kill the child 1221 01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:39,080 Speaker 1: after there was a viable birth. There was an investigation 1222 01:21:39,240 --> 01:21:42,600 Speaker 1: when it was determined that this was a natural miscarriage 1223 01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:46,920 Speaker 1: and that Watts did nothing wrong, the charges were thrown out. 1224 01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:50,639 Speaker 1: There was also a case back in April in Georgia 1225 01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:56,120 Speaker 1: where a woman saw one of her neighbors throwing out 1226 01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:59,320 Speaker 1: and I apologize, folks, I realize now that I am 1227 01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:04,160 Speaker 1: talking in in very graphic detail about this stuff, So 1228 01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,559 Speaker 1: if you've got little ones, I'm going to try to 1229 01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:10,040 Speaker 1: make it as g or PG rated as I can. 1230 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:16,280 Speaker 1: The neighbors saw the woman placing what she thought was 1231 01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:22,400 Speaker 1: a baby in a dumpster. The woman was charged with 1232 01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:27,000 Speaker 1: mutilation of a corpse. When it was determined that this 1233 01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:32,519 Speaker 1: was a natural stillbirth, all of the charges were dropped. 1234 01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:37,320 Speaker 1: That is the sum total the Georgia case, in the 1235 01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:44,519 Speaker 1: Ohio case, the totality of all of the people who 1236 01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:50,720 Speaker 1: have ever suffered a high profile arrest for miscarriage. It's 1237 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:55,800 Speaker 1: usually a misunderstanding and the women involved are doing things 1238 01:22:55,800 --> 01:23:03,160 Speaker 1: that are incredibly suspicious and arouse the attention of prosecutors 1239 01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:11,519 Speaker 1: and police because of the behavior. The idea somehow that 1240 01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:15,720 Speaker 1: this is something that demands legislative attention is laughable. Now, 1241 01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:19,960 Speaker 1: these are the same people who say that vote fraud 1242 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:24,720 Speaker 1: rarely ever, rarely ever occurs. There's only a handful of 1243 01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:29,320 Speaker 1: vote fraud cases that ever actually happens. So we don't 1244 01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:33,200 Speaker 1: need to worry about policing vote fraud because it rarely 1245 01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:38,160 Speaker 1: ever happens. But yet we need to police the police 1246 01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:42,559 Speaker 1: policing miscarriages and stillbirths. Even though I could name and 1247 01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:46,080 Speaker 1: I dare say that Kelda Helen Roys can only name 1248 01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:49,360 Speaker 1: one or two cases in which this has ever happened. 1249 01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:53,360 Speaker 1: It's never resulted in a conviction. By the way, having 1250 01:23:53,400 --> 01:24:00,719 Speaker 1: a miscarriage is legal in all fifty states. It is tragic, 1251 01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:07,559 Speaker 1: it is awful. My heart breaks. Someone very very close 1252 01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:12,320 Speaker 1: to me suffered a still birth. It was twenty five 1253 01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:16,320 Speaker 1: years ago and I still remember it like it was today. 1254 01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:22,120 Speaker 1: The dad holding this tiny little casket. My mom actually 1255 01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:26,680 Speaker 1: gave just an incredible eulogy for the little boy. I 1256 01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:29,240 Speaker 1: don't think I have ever been at a sadder funeral 1257 01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:37,519 Speaker 1: in my life. But it's not illegal. No, nobody is 1258 01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:41,479 Speaker 1: criminalizing miscarriage. Do you know what this is? This was 1259 01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:45,559 Speaker 1: Kilda Roy's on the same day that man deadbeat Barnes 1260 01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:49,639 Speaker 1: gets into the race and presumably is going to play 1261 01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:53,880 Speaker 1: to the racial demagogery of the Democrat Party. This is killed. 1262 01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:56,000 Speaker 1: De Roy is trying to take the conversation back to 1263 01:24:56,160 --> 01:25:01,880 Speaker 1: the gender demagogery of the post Roe v. Wade era. Hey, 1264 01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:06,799 Speaker 1: it's all about women's rights. Don't forget about me Democrat voters. 1265 01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:12,320 Speaker 1: The reality is Democrat voters are flocking two man deadbeat 1266 01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:17,240 Speaker 1: Barnes because like Zorn Mom Donnie, he shares their views. 1267 01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,880 Speaker 1: He is an out and out anti capitalist. He is 1268 01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:24,920 Speaker 1: a socialist, if not an open communist. Don't believe me. 1269 01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:28,080 Speaker 1: Listen to him in his own words. 1270 01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:32,360 Speaker 3: Simple answer is steimy capitalism the way it is innate 1271 01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:33,080 Speaker 3: in America. 1272 01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:37,960 Speaker 1: Uh huh. Well, in that stumbling, fumbling, little five second sound, 1273 01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:41,920 Speaker 1: by the way, says stemy capitalism in order to get 1274 01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:48,680 Speaker 1: whatever policy objectives we want. Barnes has made no bones 1275 01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:51,519 Speaker 1: about the fact that he is not a centrist. 1276 01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,200 Speaker 3: I would love to be a interest right. I think 1277 01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:54,599 Speaker 3: I think many of us in the room would love 1278 01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,920 Speaker 3: to be as interest right. But in these times like 1279 01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:01,840 Speaker 3: there's no there's no place for because it can't happen, No, 1280 01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:03,120 Speaker 3: it can't. 1281 01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:06,720 Speaker 1: What about the accusation that Barnes and people like him 1282 01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:07,639 Speaker 1: are too far. 1283 01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,120 Speaker 3: To the left, I don't know. I don't think going too 1284 01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:10,640 Speaker 3: far to the left at all. We just want to 1285 01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:13,320 Speaker 3: get to a place of zen, almost the. 1286 01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:21,200 Speaker 1: Place of zen. I e utopia is this utopian socialism 1287 01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:27,920 Speaker 1: that you're promoting. This is where his party is at, 1288 01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:33,000 Speaker 1: this is where his voters are at, and this is 1289 01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:37,280 Speaker 1: why the Democrat Party is kind of in the same 1290 01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:41,800 Speaker 1: spot that Republicans were back during the early days of 1291 01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:46,519 Speaker 1: trump Ism. They were terrified that their voters were going 1292 01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:52,120 Speaker 1: to nominate someone who fundamentally could not win. People thought, 1293 01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:56,320 Speaker 1: everybody thought Donald Trump was never going to win, first 1294 01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:59,040 Speaker 1: the nomination, then he couldn't possibly win the president. Right 1295 01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:02,799 Speaker 1: up until the day of the twenty sixteen presidential election, 1296 01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:07,720 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, it's been very famously recounted for nearly a 1297 01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:11,760 Speaker 1: decade now, had a ninety nine percent chance of winning 1298 01:27:11,800 --> 01:27:17,120 Speaker 1: the presidency on election Day twenty sixteen. You'll note that 1299 01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:23,360 Speaker 1: is not one hundred percent. And Trump won precisely because 1300 01:27:23,479 --> 01:27:29,960 Speaker 1: he played to the same sort of economic alienation and 1301 01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:37,040 Speaker 1: the same sort of basically conservative populism. And I don't 1302 01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:41,320 Speaker 1: want to say socialism, because socialism is the fundamental destruction 1303 01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:51,880 Speaker 1: of americanism, free market capitalism, constitutional republican democracy, the idea 1304 01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:56,720 Speaker 1: of individual autonomy and liberty. So I don't want to 1305 01:27:56,720 --> 01:28:00,280 Speaker 1: say it's exactly two sides of the same coin. But 1306 01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:04,800 Speaker 1: think about what got Trump elected. It was the idea 1307 01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:08,120 Speaker 1: that there was what was his theme, What was his 1308 01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:12,120 Speaker 1: theme in twenty twenty four, the forgotten man, right, the 1309 01:28:12,160 --> 01:28:17,560 Speaker 1: forgotten man and woman, the people for whom the American 1310 01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:22,160 Speaker 1: dream just seems out of place, out of reach. That 1311 01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:26,360 Speaker 1: the people who have traditional American values, but have just 1312 01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:29,200 Speaker 1: been during the four years of Joe Biden, in the 1313 01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:33,760 Speaker 1: eight years of Barack Obama, they have not just been forgotten, 1314 01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:38,360 Speaker 1: not just been passed by, but openly demonized as being 1315 01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:42,800 Speaker 1: what's wrong with this country, as being the oppressors that 1316 01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:47,719 Speaker 1: are constantly making their fellow man's life worse. Trump stood 1317 01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:54,080 Speaker 1: up for them. What is so precarious about where we 1318 01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:57,600 Speaker 1: are as a country right now is that when you 1319 01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:01,599 Speaker 1: have a period of deep echo uncertainty, and we do, 1320 01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:05,840 Speaker 1: we do, and it's not Trump's fault at all. This 1321 01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:09,080 Speaker 1: is one hundred percent on Joe Biden. This is one 1322 01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:15,240 Speaker 1: hundred percent on the socialists in Congress that passed the 1323 01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:21,080 Speaker 1: trillion dollar stimulus as well as dramatically increased government spending 1324 01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:25,920 Speaker 1: at the point at which we already had an inflationary 1325 01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:32,200 Speaker 1: bubble early in Joe Biden's term. That caused inflation, and 1326 01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:38,960 Speaker 1: that caused an incredible change to how people are able 1327 01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:41,960 Speaker 1: to live in this country. And at the same time, 1328 01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:46,280 Speaker 1: at the exact same time, the Biden administration brought in 1329 01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:51,720 Speaker 1: ten million, twelve million, fifteen million illegals. We have absolutely 1330 01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:56,520 Speaker 1: no idea how many all of those people were competing 1331 01:29:56,600 --> 01:30:00,839 Speaker 1: for fundamentally the same amount of resources, amount of houses, 1332 01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:06,639 Speaker 1: same amount of apartments, same number of PlayStation fives, same 1333 01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:10,599 Speaker 1: amount of groceries. What happens when you have that many 1334 01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:15,880 Speaker 1: more people competing for the same or only slightly more 1335 01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:21,599 Speaker 1: resources than before you had this massive influx in demand, Well, 1336 01:30:21,840 --> 01:30:28,320 Speaker 1: supply necessarily goes down and prices go up. When government 1337 01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:35,080 Speaker 1: is spending left and right, creating scarcity for goods and services. 1338 01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:38,800 Speaker 1: You have roughly the same number of people who can 1339 01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:42,440 Speaker 1: provide a given service, but you've got a dramatically increased 1340 01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:45,559 Speaker 1: amount of demand because government is suddenly competing with the 1341 01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:52,200 Speaker 1: private sector. That causes inflation. When you have these forces 1342 01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:56,840 Speaker 1: working in concert, people feel like they can't afford anything. 1343 01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:01,280 Speaker 1: And the problem is right now Democrats, it took them 1344 01:31:01,320 --> 01:31:03,800 Speaker 1: a while, but they're finally starting to realize that they 1345 01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:08,000 Speaker 1: can win by failing. They can turn the failures of 1346 01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:12,599 Speaker 1: the Biden administration into incredible success in twenty twenty six. 1347 01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:18,920 Speaker 1: Because people aren't remembering how inexpensive, relatively speaking, things used 1348 01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:22,679 Speaker 1: to be last year. They're not comparing prices from twenty 1349 01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:25,599 Speaker 1: twenty five to twenty twenty four. They're comparing prices from 1350 01:31:25,640 --> 01:31:28,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five to twenty twenty. In other words, the 1351 01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:35,559 Speaker 1: last Trump presidency before Biden, inflation just destroyed Americans net worth. 1352 01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:38,719 Speaker 1: I mean, how many different economic metrics do you need? 1353 01:31:39,600 --> 01:31:44,120 Speaker 1: The amount of the record amount of credit card balance, 1354 01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:49,880 Speaker 1: the record low amount in American savings accounts, the record 1355 01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:53,080 Speaker 1: amount even the record amount of spending on Black Friday. 1356 01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:56,439 Speaker 1: You know why because a lot of that is put 1357 01:31:56,479 --> 01:32:01,400 Speaker 1: on credit, which increases credit card balances. Yes, Americans are 1358 01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:06,639 Speaker 1: feeling a little bit more confident and they're spending more, 1359 01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:10,679 Speaker 1: but they're also not saving as much. They're not building wealth. 1360 01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:15,320 Speaker 1: Home Ownership is declining. The average age of a first 1361 01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:20,400 Speaker 1: time home buyer is forty forty first time home buyer. 1362 01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:25,320 Speaker 1: A generation and a half ago, it was twenty eight. 1363 01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:31,400 Speaker 1: Do you know why home ownership now is largely unattainable? 1364 01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:35,320 Speaker 1: The average price of the median price of an American 1365 01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:37,920 Speaker 1: home right now is four hundred eleven thousand dollars four 1366 01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:44,120 Speaker 1: hundred eleven thousand dollars. That is many times the average 1367 01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:50,360 Speaker 1: or median income of the average American worker back when 1368 01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 1: the Baby Boom generation was starting out, homes were affordable. Yes, 1369 01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:59,839 Speaker 1: interest rates were higher, Yes that is true, but remember 1370 01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:04,600 Speaker 1: interest rates are a percentage of the principle. If the 1371 01:33:04,680 --> 01:33:08,880 Speaker 1: principle is a lot lower, you're going to be paying 1372 01:33:09,040 --> 01:33:12,519 Speaker 1: less relative to the amount of take home pay that 1373 01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:18,839 Speaker 1: you have. And when Americans, especially younger Americans, they feel 1374 01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:24,640 Speaker 1: this economic malaise, they feel like they just can't afford anything, 1375 01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:28,000 Speaker 1: that's when they start to think, hey, maybe it's not 1376 01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:33,120 Speaker 1: me that failed, Maybe it's the system that failed. And 1377 01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:39,559 Speaker 1: people like Mandela Barnes and Zoron Mom Donnie, their politics 1378 01:33:39,720 --> 01:33:44,800 Speaker 1: start to sound dangerously attractive. You're listening to the Dan 1379 01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:49,360 Speaker 1: o'donald Show, Mary Christmas. We'll be right back in just 1380 01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:57,080 Speaker 1: three minutes. A tour de force of truth. The sort 1381 01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:59,320 Speaker 1: of truth the rest of the media used to report 1382 01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:06,200 Speaker 1: but now obscures berries or openly lies about it. Is 1383 01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:12,320 Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show. You know, we normally do heavy hitting, 1384 01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:19,520 Speaker 1: serious topics here, talking about philosophy, talking about socio economics 1385 01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:22,639 Speaker 1: and politics and all of that. But once a year 1386 01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:27,840 Speaker 1: we like to focus just on the things that really 1387 01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:41,200 Speaker 1: matter are kids. And that's why we have once again 1388 01:34:41,560 --> 01:34:46,800 Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show Family Christmas Special. The deadline is 1389 01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:50,719 Speaker 1: coming up very very quickly, folks. It's a week from 1390 01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:55,320 Speaker 1: Friday to submit a two minute or less video or 1391 01:34:55,439 --> 01:34:59,400 Speaker 1: audio file off your kids or grandkids playing a Christmas 1392 01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:03,320 Speaker 1: carol on their musical instruments or singing a Christmas carol 1393 01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:08,519 Speaker 1: and have them perform on the radio December twenty third, 1394 01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:13,960 Speaker 1: four o'clock PM and then subsequent encore presentations both on 1395 01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:17,840 Speaker 1: Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. It's the Dan O'Donnell Show 1396 01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:22,080 Speaker 1: Family Christmas Special. For five years now we have had 1397 01:35:22,240 --> 01:35:26,639 Speaker 1: our listener's children and grandchildren sing and play their little 1398 01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:30,439 Speaker 1: hearts out. Trust me, it is the cutest thing that 1399 01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:33,640 Speaker 1: you will hear on the radio at Christmas time. And 1400 01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:37,600 Speaker 1: if you want your kids, your grandkids, nieces nephews to 1401 01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:39,840 Speaker 1: be a part of it, you need to email me 1402 01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:47,080 Speaker 1: Dd at iHeartMedia dot com with a video or audio file. 1403 01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:51,600 Speaker 1: Make sure I respond to confirm receipt of it. Sometimes 1404 01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,120 Speaker 1: I will get stuff that goes to my junk email. 1405 01:35:54,360 --> 01:35:57,120 Speaker 1: You don't hear back from me follow up because it 1406 01:35:57,200 --> 01:36:00,639 Speaker 1: probably means that I just did not see your email. 1407 01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:04,640 Speaker 1: We can also only guarantee that the first fifty submissions 1408 01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:07,120 Speaker 1: actually make the show, and I think I counted it up. 1409 01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:12,000 Speaker 1: We're at about twenty some already, so it is filling 1410 01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:15,080 Speaker 1: up very quickly, with less than two weeks to go 1411 01:36:15,200 --> 01:36:19,640 Speaker 1: to get those entries in. Once again, it is DD 1412 01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:25,840 Speaker 1: at iHeartMedia dot com to submit your kids' performances for 1413 01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:30,120 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Dan O'Donnell's show Family Christmas Special, 1414 01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:36,120 Speaker 1: premiering four o'clock PM on Wednesday, December twenty third, and 1415 01:36:36,240 --> 01:36:40,240 Speaker 1: for those asking yes on December twenty second. We are 1416 01:36:40,280 --> 01:36:44,120 Speaker 1: going to have some fun, as we always do one 1417 01:36:44,200 --> 01:36:47,920 Speaker 1: time a year. I really don't prepare any topics. We 1418 01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:52,320 Speaker 1: have an entire show dedicated to you just asking whatever 1419 01:36:52,479 --> 01:36:55,720 Speaker 1: question it is that you want me to answer. It's 1420 01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:58,880 Speaker 1: our annual ask Me Anything show. I don't know how 1421 01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:02,080 Speaker 1: we started it as at Christmas time, but it just 1422 01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:06,680 Speaker 1: kind of became an annual tradition. Everybody has fun with it, 1423 01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:09,880 Speaker 1: your texts, your phone calls. Ask anything. It can be 1424 01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:12,720 Speaker 1: a personal question. It can be a question about I 1425 01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:18,200 Speaker 1: don't know, video games, pro wrestling, whatever. Within reason, I'm 1426 01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:23,680 Speaker 1: not going to answer certain very personal questions, obviously, but 1427 01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:26,800 Speaker 1: anything else is pretty much fair game. That's coming up 1428 01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:29,840 Speaker 1: on December twenty second, I wanted to make sure to 1429 01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:32,919 Speaker 1: get a couple of extra mentions for the Christmas special, 1430 01:37:33,560 --> 01:37:35,479 Speaker 1: just because I'm going to be gone for the next 1431 01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:38,160 Speaker 1: couple of days, and it's sort of like out of sight, 1432 01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:40,240 Speaker 1: out of mind. We are running the promos and now 1433 01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:42,280 Speaker 1: will be checking my email while I am at my 1434 01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:45,960 Speaker 1: brother's wedding in Mexico over the next half a week 1435 01:37:46,320 --> 01:37:49,719 Speaker 1: or so. I will be back on Monday afternoon, and 1436 01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:53,200 Speaker 1: that's when we start really in earnest putting the show together. 1437 01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:56,559 Speaker 1: So you want to make sure that your kids are 1438 01:37:56,760 --> 01:38:01,240 Speaker 1: going to be a part of it. As I said 1439 01:38:01,240 --> 01:38:03,680 Speaker 1: at the start of the show, and we've sort of 1440 01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:07,960 Speaker 1: used this thirty five second sound bite to not just 1441 01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:11,559 Speaker 1: sum up Mandela Barnes, but really I think this is 1442 01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:15,360 Speaker 1: the perfect sound bite to sum up the modern American lap. 1443 01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:17,800 Speaker 3: The United States of America is the most wealthy, it 1444 01:38:17,880 --> 01:38:20,320 Speaker 3: is the most powerful nation on earth, and that is 1445 01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:22,719 Speaker 3: because of forced labor on stolen land. 1446 01:38:23,040 --> 01:38:25,720 Speaker 2: We have to teach the reality. 1447 01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:26,760 Speaker 3: Of why we are where we are, or else people 1448 01:38:26,760 --> 01:38:28,760 Speaker 3: will just assume it just happened this way because of 1449 01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:32,400 Speaker 3: hard work, because of pulling up by bootstraps. The reason 1450 01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:34,679 Speaker 3: why we haven't seen an increase in the minimum wage 1451 01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:37,280 Speaker 3: since two thousand and nine is because, again, this is 1452 01:38:37,320 --> 01:38:40,360 Speaker 3: a nation where the wealth was built off of free 1453 01:38:40,520 --> 01:38:44,439 Speaker 3: forced labor, and the fact is low wages are what's 1454 01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:47,519 Speaker 3: going to keep millionaire and billionaire wealth intact. 1455 01:38:47,840 --> 01:38:49,959 Speaker 2: And this all has a racial component. 1456 01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:57,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what we could possibly I don't know 1457 01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:02,040 Speaker 1: what we could possibly add to that. That is as 1458 01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:06,600 Speaker 1: exceinct producer, Eric, you are absolutely right. That's as succinct 1459 01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:12,799 Speaker 1: as it gets. That that is literally in thirty five seconds. 1460 01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:17,960 Speaker 1: We believe America is what it is only because there 1461 01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:24,479 Speaker 1: are oppressors and the oppressed. There are people who are 1462 01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:32,000 Speaker 1: exploitative in nature, and there are people who are exploited, 1463 01:39:32,840 --> 01:39:37,320 Speaker 1: and there is really no there is no way for 1464 01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:42,479 Speaker 1: you to ever move up socioeconomically or culturally or anything 1465 01:39:42,520 --> 01:39:46,080 Speaker 1: like that. That because of your skin color, you are 1466 01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:51,760 Speaker 1: perpetually stuck, You are perpetually at the mercy of forces 1467 01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:57,480 Speaker 1: well beyond your control, that you actually have no individual autonomy, 1468 01:39:57,520 --> 01:40:02,280 Speaker 1: that you have no ability to pull yourselves up by 1469 01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:07,520 Speaker 1: the bootstraps. The idea that that is just a laughable 1470 01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:13,640 Speaker 1: notion that anyone could ever possibly overcome poor circumstances, that 1471 01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:19,240 Speaker 1: anyone could possibly ever overcome poverty or abuse or dysfunction 1472 01:40:19,600 --> 01:40:26,439 Speaker 1: or anything like that is laughable. That that is a 1473 01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:31,120 Speaker 1: fundamentally anti American idea. I believe it was Matt Walsh 1474 01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:34,800 Speaker 1: over at the Daily Wire who said, the idea that 1475 01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:42,320 Speaker 1: the founders of America were colonial or were colonizers is ludicrous. 1476 01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:46,840 Speaker 1: They were settlers. They were settlers. The natives didn't have 1477 01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:51,880 Speaker 1: the concept of private property. They didn't have Okay, this 1478 01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:57,160 Speaker 1: area that we have meticulously plotted out belongs to you know, 1479 01:40:57,800 --> 01:41:01,519 Speaker 1: Red Cloud over here, You're on his land. They say, okay, 1480 01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:06,479 Speaker 1: well all of these lands are ours. Oh okay, what 1481 01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:12,160 Speaker 1: do the native tribe that you conquered and set up 1482 01:41:12,160 --> 01:41:14,040 Speaker 1: shop on their lands have to say about that? 1483 01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:15,519 Speaker 2: Like? 1484 01:41:15,680 --> 01:41:19,280 Speaker 1: Which which tribe are we? Is it just the last 1485 01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:25,200 Speaker 1: tribe that that happened to conquer because it was it 1486 01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:31,640 Speaker 1: was sort of a game of thrones long before first contact. 1487 01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:38,120 Speaker 1: I mean, do I'm Italian fifty percent Italian? Do I 1488 01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:44,000 Speaker 1: get to claim France because my people two thousand years 1489 01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:49,160 Speaker 1: ago conquered the gulls? Hey, you got to give that 1490 01:41:49,280 --> 01:41:53,560 Speaker 1: land back to the descendants of Julius Caesar How insane 1491 01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:58,680 Speaker 1: does that sound? This is what they truly believe. All right, 1492 01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:01,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna step aside for a running a little late. 1493 01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:05,240 Speaker 1: It is the Dan O'Donnell show, Conservative thought, not just talk. 1494 01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:11,839 Speaker 1: It does seem now that the Democratic field is set 1495 01:42:13,360 --> 01:42:21,720 Speaker 1: for governor now that Mandela Barnes has announced. He is 1496 01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:26,880 Speaker 1: the four hundred and second Democrat to announce that he 1497 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:30,800 Speaker 1: is running for governor. He is according to the three 1498 01:42:30,960 --> 01:42:36,320 Speaker 1: public polls that have been done on this race, he 1499 01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:40,439 Speaker 1: is the overwhelming favorite to win the nomination. Now it 1500 01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:43,760 Speaker 1: has become apparent for many, many months now that the 1501 01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:47,960 Speaker 1: Republican field is set, after Tom Tiffany, who we had 1502 01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:52,000 Speaker 1: on the show today, announced his candidacy. Actually on this show, 1503 01:42:53,520 --> 01:42:57,400 Speaker 1: he was the second major candidate to get in a third. 1504 01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:01,559 Speaker 1: I guess technically, Bill Berryon, a business man from Whitefish Bay, 1505 01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:08,880 Speaker 1: had a shall we say, ignominious end to his campaign. 1506 01:43:09,360 --> 01:43:12,799 Speaker 1: I did not think I would ever hear the phrase 1507 01:43:13,439 --> 01:43:19,879 Speaker 1: Republican gubernatorial candidate and transgender porn star in the same sentence. 1508 01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:24,280 Speaker 1: But that was the carnival of the Bill Barian campaign. 1509 01:43:26,240 --> 01:43:30,040 Speaker 1: For those who missed the story, he was apparently following 1510 01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:34,920 Speaker 1: all manner of naughty Tumbler accounts and the scandal was 1511 01:43:35,120 --> 01:43:38,400 Speaker 1: just too much. He also did not have much of 1512 01:43:38,439 --> 01:43:41,320 Speaker 1: a chance. I mean, he was very very anti Trump. 1513 01:43:42,080 --> 01:43:49,120 Speaker 1: He was a very vehemently anti Trump guy. Tiffany and 1514 01:43:49,240 --> 01:43:53,280 Speaker 1: Josh Shauman are both excellent candidates, they really are, And 1515 01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:59,080 Speaker 1: if Tiffany did not get in, I think Schouman does 1516 01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:02,920 Speaker 1: have the profile of a candidate who wins in these 1517 01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:08,760 Speaker 1: sorts of years when the opposition party is predicted to 1518 01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:12,519 Speaker 1: just sweep everything and folks, I hate to say it, 1519 01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:17,840 Speaker 1: but Democrats do have a massive institutional advantage in twenty 1520 01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:22,240 Speaker 1: twenty six. Politics is very cyclical and one of the 1521 01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:28,800 Speaker 1: biggest motivators in politics is invariably rage, anger, envy. Just 1522 01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:33,800 Speaker 1: whoever has the angrier voters typically is going to win 1523 01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:37,880 Speaker 1: the election. It's a pretty good rule of thumb in politics. 1524 01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:40,280 Speaker 1: It's sort of like a good rule of thumb in 1525 01:44:40,439 --> 01:44:45,439 Speaker 1: ancient battles. Pretty much all battles, the bigger numbers usually wins. Now, 1526 01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:50,160 Speaker 1: there are upsets, there are upsets. The candidates that typically 1527 01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:53,879 Speaker 1: pull off those upsets look a lot like Josh Showman. 1528 01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:57,920 Speaker 1: Ron DeSantis is sort of a classic example. In Florida. 1529 01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:01,800 Speaker 1: It's hard to believe because of the a massive conservative 1530 01:45:01,920 --> 01:45:06,000 Speaker 1: migration to Florida over the last seven years, but Florida 1531 01:45:06,120 --> 01:45:10,240 Speaker 1: for two decades nearly was the ultimate swing state. Going 1532 01:45:10,280 --> 01:45:14,240 Speaker 1: back to the two thousand presidential election. In twenty eighteen, 1533 01:45:15,479 --> 01:45:19,519 Speaker 1: a Republican down year because Donald Trump had just won 1534 01:45:19,560 --> 01:45:25,120 Speaker 1: the presidency, a big Democrat blue wave election swept into 1535 01:45:25,280 --> 01:45:29,960 Speaker 1: office Tony Evers and men deadbeat Barnes his running mate 1536 01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:34,519 Speaker 1: lieutenant governor, and all across the country you had left 1537 01:45:34,520 --> 01:45:41,679 Speaker 1: wing candidates win elections, but not in Florida. A young, 1538 01:45:42,560 --> 01:45:48,400 Speaker 1: energetic reform type won by the narrowest of margins over 1539 01:45:48,600 --> 01:45:53,120 Speaker 1: Andrew Gillham, who was later found passed out and naked 1540 01:45:53,280 --> 01:45:57,360 Speaker 1: in a drug den hotel room. Look up that story. 1541 01:45:57,439 --> 01:46:01,040 Speaker 1: It is one of the more bizarre in American politic. Florida, 1542 01:46:01,160 --> 01:46:04,400 Speaker 1: you really, really, really dodged a bullet and got one 1543 01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:07,439 Speaker 1: of the best governors in American history. And because of 1544 01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:12,680 Speaker 1: his leadership, and because of big demographic advantages and geographic 1545 01:46:12,720 --> 01:46:17,519 Speaker 1: advantages for Florida and namely its weather, it's climate. People 1546 01:46:17,520 --> 01:46:20,719 Speaker 1: don't become snowbirds and go to Maine. They go to Florida, 1547 01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:22,760 Speaker 1: they go to Arizona, they go to Texas, they go 1548 01:46:22,800 --> 01:46:28,160 Speaker 1: to Georgia, New Mexico, California, but Florida chief among them 1549 01:46:28,160 --> 01:46:33,880 Speaker 1: because Florida you get summer weather all year long. That's 1550 01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:38,800 Speaker 1: a big disadvantage for Wisconsin, unfortunately, because once again Democrats 1551 01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:42,800 Speaker 1: win by failing. We already have a big disadvantage for 1552 01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:48,120 Speaker 1: retaining population, and that's the weather. On a random Thanksgiving weekend, 1553 01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:50,360 Speaker 1: you can get a foot plus of snow just sort 1554 01:46:50,400 --> 01:46:53,240 Speaker 1: of dumped on your backyard. A lot of people don't 1555 01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:57,880 Speaker 1: like that. I love it until about January fifth. Then 1556 01:46:57,920 --> 01:47:00,679 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, okay, I could totally be a snowbird 1557 01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:03,920 Speaker 1: and go right back down to summer weather and the 1558 01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:09,200 Speaker 1: beach and palm trees. But Christmas season, I love me 1559 01:47:09,280 --> 01:47:15,320 Speaker 1: some snow. A big problem with Wisconsin is Florida, because 1560 01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:18,880 Speaker 1: a whole lot of the Scott Walker Coalition hasn't just 1561 01:47:18,960 --> 01:47:21,760 Speaker 1: gone down there to be snowbirds. They live down there, 1562 01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:24,479 Speaker 1: and they vote down there. They're citizens of Florida. Now, 1563 01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:29,120 Speaker 1: Florida's population has exploded, and it's come at the cost 1564 01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:32,840 Speaker 1: of a whole lot of conservative Republican voters from other 1565 01:47:32,960 --> 01:47:39,600 Speaker 1: northern states. Because Democrats typically are not as mobile as Republicans, 1566 01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:44,960 Speaker 1: they're going to stay. Democrats are younger voters. Typically, Democrats 1567 01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:49,679 Speaker 1: are less affluent voters. Democrats typically have the very very 1568 01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:53,559 Speaker 1: wealthy and the very very poor, So people who are 1569 01:47:53,640 --> 01:47:56,720 Speaker 1: highly mobile, very very wealthy, and people who are not 1570 01:47:56,840 --> 01:47:59,880 Speaker 1: mobile at all but are still going to cast votes 1571 01:47:59,880 --> 01:48:03,519 Speaker 1: for Democrats. So as the upper middle class and upper 1572 01:48:03,560 --> 01:48:07,439 Speaker 1: class sort of gets on to retirement age as the 1573 01:48:07,479 --> 01:48:12,320 Speaker 1: Baby Boom generation has and Baby Boomers were largely responsible 1574 01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:16,080 Speaker 1: for the Scott Walker Revolution. It was that generation of 1575 01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:20,360 Speaker 1: voters and Generation xers and some of us older millennials 1576 01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:24,240 Speaker 1: who formed the Scott Walker Coalition. Well, a big chunk 1577 01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:28,400 Speaker 1: of said coalition is now living down in Florida and 1578 01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:33,480 Speaker 1: voting down in Florida. This has made it incredibly difficult 1579 01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:38,479 Speaker 1: for Republicans to cobble together electoral victories when Donald Trump 1580 01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:43,080 Speaker 1: is not on the ballot. Not only that, because of 1581 01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:48,880 Speaker 1: the nature of Trump and his politics much more economic 1582 01:48:49,200 --> 01:48:55,920 Speaker 1: populism than it is traditional conservatism, and Trump's personality, which 1583 01:48:56,040 --> 01:49:00,280 Speaker 1: has a tendency to alienate huge swaths of women. I 1584 01:49:00,360 --> 01:49:02,920 Speaker 1: think my brother put it best. He said, the problem 1585 01:49:02,920 --> 01:49:04,800 Speaker 1: with Trump is that he reminds a whole lot of 1586 01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:08,040 Speaker 1: women of their ex wives or ex husbands wo ex wives. 1587 01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:12,320 Speaker 1: Yikes that you're you're rough, ladies. If if your ex 1588 01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:15,439 Speaker 1: wife looks like Donald Trump, it's a handsome man, but 1589 01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:21,800 Speaker 1: hw as a woman. Trump reminds women of their ex 1590 01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:26,679 Speaker 1: husbands Hillary Clinton. He also said why people hated Hillary Clinton, 1591 01:49:26,680 --> 01:49:28,799 Speaker 1: Why so many men hated Hillary Clinton because he reminds 1592 01:49:29,280 --> 01:49:34,439 Speaker 1: Hillary reminded men of their ex wives. That was my 1593 01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:38,959 Speaker 1: brother's political philosophy on the two most hated presidential candidates 1594 01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:43,080 Speaker 1: in history going head to head in twenty sixteen. You 1595 01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:46,840 Speaker 1: talk about a war of attrition there. But Donald Trump 1596 01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:50,240 Speaker 1: is built a coalition, but it's come at the expense 1597 01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:54,240 Speaker 1: of a lot more reliable voters who will show up 1598 01:49:54,400 --> 01:50:01,160 Speaker 1: based on underlying political philosophy and less on just an 1599 01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:05,120 Speaker 1: affinity for Trump himself. And that is a very real 1600 01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:09,759 Speaker 1: problem that Republicans have become over dependent on the over 1601 01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:13,040 Speaker 1: Trump voters. Just as we thought never Trump was a 1602 01:50:13,080 --> 01:50:17,480 Speaker 1: thing in twenty sixteen, it really wasn't. Only Trump actually 1603 01:50:17,720 --> 01:50:21,120 Speaker 1: is a thing in twenty twenty five. We'll expand on 1604 01:50:21,200 --> 01:50:24,760 Speaker 1: that a little bit more, and we'll wrap things up 1605 01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:27,040 Speaker 1: here on the Dan o'donald Show, and we come back. 1606 01:50:28,479 --> 01:50:31,439 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Dan o'donald show just a couple 1607 01:50:31,520 --> 01:50:37,280 Speaker 1: of minutes left to lament how much more difficult it 1608 01:50:37,320 --> 01:50:40,479 Speaker 1: has gotten to win elections here in Wisconsin. I mean, 1609 01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:45,479 Speaker 1: gone are the days when Tommy Thompson and Scott Walker 1610 01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:51,600 Speaker 1: dominated statewide politics from the nineteen eighties through twenty eighteen. 1611 01:50:52,400 --> 01:50:58,200 Speaker 1: We had a very brief period, a lamented period governed 1612 01:50:58,200 --> 01:51:02,479 Speaker 1: by Diamond Jim Doyle from what two thousand and three 1613 01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:06,760 Speaker 1: to two thousand and nine, right, yeah, two thousand and 1614 01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:09,759 Speaker 1: three to two thousand and nine. He defeated or excuse 1615 01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:14,479 Speaker 1: me two thousand and eleven because he decided not to run. 1616 01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:19,080 Speaker 1: He won reelection against Mark Green in two thousand and six. 1617 01:51:19,160 --> 01:51:24,040 Speaker 1: He did win two full terms. Remember he beat Scott McCallum. 1618 01:51:24,520 --> 01:51:28,160 Speaker 1: After Tommy was named Health and Human Services Secretary under 1619 01:51:28,160 --> 01:51:31,080 Speaker 1: George W. Bush, so he left the governorship, which he 1620 01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:34,599 Speaker 1: had held since the nineteen eighties in two thousand and one. 1621 01:51:35,040 --> 01:51:38,439 Speaker 1: His lieutenant Scott McCallum, filled out the remainder of his term, 1622 01:51:38,520 --> 01:51:41,160 Speaker 1: but lost the two thousand and two election to the 1623 01:51:41,240 --> 01:51:45,920 Speaker 1: Attorney General Diamond Jim. Diamond Jim, of course, immediately sold 1624 01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:50,760 Speaker 1: the state out to the gaming the Pottawatamie and the 1625 01:51:50,760 --> 01:51:55,080 Speaker 1: Oneida and the ho Chunk tribes by just under color 1626 01:51:55,120 --> 01:52:01,520 Speaker 1: of darkness, changing unilaterally the gaming compacts to make them perpetual, 1627 01:52:01,560 --> 01:52:06,760 Speaker 1: to essentially make it impossible to ever renegotiate gaming compacts 1628 01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:10,200 Speaker 1: in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations. 1629 01:52:10,840 --> 01:52:18,760 Speaker 1: But from the eighties through twenty eighteen, Republicans really dominated 1630 01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:22,280 Speaker 1: state politics. It had nothing to do with jerry mandering, 1631 01:52:23,040 --> 01:52:26,920 Speaker 1: as the left constantly tries to assert. It has everything 1632 01:52:26,960 --> 01:52:29,760 Speaker 1: to do with the fact that Wisconsin was a conservative 1633 01:52:29,800 --> 01:52:34,120 Speaker 1: state except in presidential elections, when it just went Democrat 1634 01:52:34,160 --> 01:52:36,719 Speaker 1: every single time. And the reason for that was because 1635 01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:40,880 Speaker 1: Democrats were over reliant on voters who were just so 1636 01:52:41,080 --> 01:52:44,280 Speaker 1: low propensity they never really showed up in anything but 1637 01:52:44,479 --> 01:52:51,320 Speaker 1: presidential elections. Now, unfortunately, Republicans are over reliant on those voters. 1638 01:52:51,560 --> 01:52:55,559 Speaker 1: All right, I hope everyone has a wonderful remainder of 1639 01:52:55,640 --> 01:52:57,960 Speaker 1: the week. I am going to be off for the 1640 01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:00,880 Speaker 1: rest of the week. I'll be back on Monday. I'm 1641 01:53:00,920 --> 01:53:05,679 Speaker 1: heading down to sunny Mexico City for my younger brother's weddings, 1642 01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:08,799 Speaker 1: so we do wish him and his new bride, Hannah, 1643 01:53:08,840 --> 01:53:11,839 Speaker 1: a beautiful life together. We'll talk to you on Monday 1644 01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:13,240 Speaker 1: here on the Dan o'donalds Show.
