Democrats Literally Stand for Nothing

On Wednesday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Democrats at President Trump's State of the Union won't even stand for the principle that American government should benefit American citizens and not illegal aliens. Plus, a Wisconsin Assembly Democrat faces criminal charges in what feels an awful lot like political payback from her fellow Dems.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
If President Trump's State of the Union address last night
proved one thing, it is this Democrats will quite literally
stand for nothing. Welcome into the Wednesday edition of The
Dan O'Donnell Show. Throughout the show today, a recap of
the State of the Union address, plus a major exclusive

(00:21):
story that the rest of the media is finally starting
to pick up on. How bad is the intra squad
feud between Democrats in the Wisconsin legislature, so bad that
they're pressing criminal charges against one another. We will dive
into that exclusive story and much much more, including a

(00:41):
brand new Marquette University Law School poll out this afternoon
that can only be described as disastrous for Democrats. Let's
get right into it. Here are the top stories we
are following this hour. President Trump, of course, giving the
biggest speech of the year.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Members of Congress, the state of our Union is strong.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
And may I say, ladies and gentlemen, that the President
might have uncorked the single most profound, single truest line
that has ever been uttered in a State of the
Union address when pointing to Democrats and saying this.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
These people are crazy. I'm telling you deck crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
The President touched on his economic agenda and successes over
the past year. We will spend pretty much the entire
four o'clock hour going over that daily Trump date kicks
it all off at about four to six. As I said,
Marquette University Law School pull shockingly shows Francesca Hong in
the lead at eleven percent, followed by the former Lieutenant

(01:48):
Governor Mandela Barnes at ten percent. But the real surprise,
in a race that everyone thought was going to be
a liberal route, the left wing candidate for State Supreme
Court Taylor, is only up five points over conservative Maria Lazarre.
We will get into that in the five o'clock hour.
And as I hinted, disorderly conduct charges now filed against

(02:12):
Sylvia or tees Valleise over a series of text messages
that she sent to several other Democrats in the Wisconsin
State Assembly in August as they were feuding over or
tees Valse's exclusion from a resolution marking Hispanic Heritage month.
It is a Dan o'donald's show exclusive story. We will

(02:33):
get into it in about ten to fifteen minutes right
here on the Dan o'donald Show. If you want to
join us four one, four seven nine, to nine eleven thirty.

the Union address is like every major political speech, really
the sum of number of moments. What I always say

(03:42):
when talking about debates, when judging political speeches like the
State of the Union or the State of the state.
The budget address is another big one that we have
here in Wisconsin. You can yes take a look at
how effective it was in Toto, but always recognize that
most people are only watching for a set amount of time.

(04:03):
Generally speaking, you've probably got ten to fifteen minutes for
the average non political person to really reach them, to
really deliver that moment. Now, the one that is very
likely going to be remembered in popular culture is going
to be the President introducing the team USA hockey team

(04:23):
that just won gold, bringing them out there, announcing that
the goalie, Connor Hellabuck is going to get the Presidential
Medal of Freedom. But ultimately for political purposes, I think
the President delivered quite possibly one of the longest lasting
and one of the most sticking political moments in a
long time. It was apparently unscripted, at least according to

(04:46):
the White House, that the President was actually taking something
of a gamble when he called out Democrats and just
assumed that there was no chance that they would ever
stand up when he said this.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
So tonight, I'm invited every legislature to join with my
administration and reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with
this statement, then stand up and show your support. The
first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens,
not illegal alan.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Of course, every single Republican stood and cheered, giving the
President a lengthy ovation. Not a single Democrat stood up.
The contrast was jarring. President Trump pointed to Democrats as
if to say, you see what I'm saying. You see
what I'm saying. He then openly chastised them for refusing

(05:42):
to stand up for Americans.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Shame.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
You should be ashamed of yourself not standing up.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
He should be ashamed of yourself.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
The President is, of course correct, this would have been
an easy one. But instead Democrats, because of their intransigence,
refuse to show the American people that they did in
fact stand with American citizens instead of for the illegal
aliens that they invited into this country, encouraged to come
into this country by literally the millions.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
We can never forget that many in this room not
only allowed the border invasion to happen before I got involved,
but indeed they would do it all over again if
they ever had the chance, if they ever got elected,
They would open up those borders to some of the
worst criminals anywhere in the world. The only thing standing

(06:35):
between Americans and a wide open border right now, as
President Donald J. Trump and our great Republican patriots in
Congress thank you.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Thank What President Trump was able to show the entire country,
and he did so in those critical first twenty minutes,
is that Democrats really don't stand for American citizens before
they stand for the rights of people who have no
right to be in this country. They proved it for
four straight years attempting to gain and maintain political power

(07:07):
by importing much of the Third World as quickly as
they possibly could in order to get as many people
as possible, even if not a single illegal alien ever
casts a ballot in an American election, something that we
know is not true. We do know that non citizens vote.
It's an open question as to how often I will concede.
It doesn't happen very often because of the severe criminal

(07:32):
penalties going on here. This is something that is obviously
a very, very big issue. It's something that people care about.
They believe that their country is being taken away from
them and that in many respects, they're being replaced because
Democrats have been shipping people not just into this country,

(07:55):
but ferrying them around two specific swing states where they
wanted to have a better form of representation, where they
wanted to have better numbers for the purposes of redistribution
of electoral college power and congressional representation. In other words,
illegal immigration under the Biden administration was essentially a shell

(08:17):
game to try to ward off what we now know
is going to be a coming demographic disaster for Democrats,
as so many people are fleeing their big liberal states
like California, New York and Illinois that they are attempting
to try to Rebut all of the changes that this

(08:38):
is presenting, this was a massive, and I mean massive
moment that shows the American people precisely who's standing up
for them. And while it is true that the entire
election often does turn on economic issues, illegal immigration is

(08:59):
the issue that first propelled Donald Trump into the mainstream
political consciousness. Remember when he came down the escalator more
than a decade ago, nearly eleven years ago, he was
seen as something of a joke. He was seen as
a fringe candidate, as a reality TV show star, as
someone who wasn't really going to impact the body politic.

(09:22):
He was going to be there as a curiosity, he
was going to help his own brand, and then of
course he would finish a quiet twelfth in the primary polling,
and then he would disappear. He would go back to
reality TV. He would launch a new Trump Steake brand,
or introduce a new Trump board game or something like that.
But it was illegal immigration that really sharpened the president's focus,

(09:47):
then Candidate Trump's focus, and so many people went along
with him because they realized that both political parties and
this was the great failing of the George W. Bush administration.
It's that in the aftermath of nine to eleven, the
border wasn't immediately sealed up because there were far too
many in the what I'll call Chamber of Commerce wing

(10:10):
of the Republican Party who wanted their cheap labor to
continue to flow across the border. And look, I understand
there is always a need for labor. There is always
a need for manual labor, the type of manual labor
that Democrats can't stop saying, that's what we need to
import illegals for because there are Americans who just won't
do that sort of work. We understand that there is

(10:32):
a need for work visas, for green cards for people
to come in and yes, to help supplement a declining
birth rate in this country, and to provide the people
that American births simply aren't providing on their own, but
Bush refused to do what was in the best interest

(10:53):
for national security, and that was completely seal up the border.
Then we saw a more open borders policy under Baraco
with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA and
the Deferred Action for the Parents of Americans DAPPA, those programs,
both of which were strenuously challenged all the way up

(11:14):
to I believe the United States Supreme Court in the
DAPPA case. But what we had under Biden was something
so unprecedented that it almost defied belief. You had the
mass importation, the intentional importation of massive quantities of people.

(11:34):
How do I know because the state of Texas actually
attempted to conduct its own border security operation. You might
remember this a big battle between Texas Governor Greg Abbott
and President Biden. They actually rebuilt a portion of President
Trump's border wall. They put up chain link fence, and
they put up razor wire. Well, what happened the Biden

(11:56):
administration actually sued. They got a court ruling from a
left wing judge and took a bulldozer to the chain
link fence and razor wire that Greg Abbott had put up.
They took it down and immediately illegals started flowing across
the border. Once again, the image was unmistakable, and just
like last night, we saw another unmistakable image of Democrats

(12:20):
standing up, or rather refusing to stand up for American
citizens and by sitting down saying that they stood up
for everybody but American citizens. Remember, America first is only
seen as racist and xenophobic and somehow bigoted by people
who don't put America first. America is a whole lot

(12:43):
of races, a whole lot of nationalities coming together as
one e pluribus unum, not from many nations cultures that
just come in and set up their own little fiefdoms,
treating the United States of America not as a melting
pot some sort of economic security and opportunity zone that

(13:04):
they would then use to just simply wire money back
to their home countries and eventually earn enough money to
go back home. That's what was being imported for years
under Joe Biden. Donald Trump gained and kept political power
based on that. The only reason that this is not

(13:24):
a massive issue in the upcoming midterms is because it
was so obviously intentional. The importation of millions and millions
and millions of largely hostile foreigners coming into this country.
That it was solved almost immediately, as President Trump said
during last year's addressed to a joint Session of Congress.
Remember not technically a State of the Union address. You

(13:46):
didn't need new laws. You just needed a new president,
meaning you needed someone who is actually going to stand
up for Americans, put America first, and actually seal up
the border. Well, the President did it. We have had
statistically zero people being released into the interior of this
country after hundreds of thousands were released every single couple
of months for four straight years. And then biggest insult

(14:10):
to injury of all, they were actually given social Security
numbers by the Biden administration. Coming up next here on
the Dan O'Donnell show, the Saga of Sylvia or tees Valleise.
She now faces criminal charges, but is this political payback
from her fellow Democrats. That's next. Thank you to the

(14:33):
one hundred and forty seven people who apparently let us
know that we were off the air. We had some
sort of transmitter issues, so we were off the air
for a couple of minutes while I was delivering what
I thought was an absolutely brilliant monologue. People always ask me, Dan,
what is going on? I have absolutely no idea. What
I tell people is, folks, I just show up and

(14:54):
talk all the technical stuff. That's for smarter people than
me to figure out. What I also tell people is,
we never have these sorts of issues when you listen
to the iHeart Radio app. You can listen to us
on news Talk eleven thirty on your iHeart Radio app
or thirteen ten WIBA or And this is why, yes,

(15:17):
it is self serving. I want you to subscribe to
the Dan o'donald Show podcast. I want you to get
those episodes auto downloaded. By the way, I believe they
auto delete after a certain amount of time, So it's
not going to like plug up your phone. It's saved
essentially in a cloud server. As I understand it, you

(15:38):
will not miss a minute. We do have, I guess
issues with our transmitter for the AM radio signal. Look,
this is one hundred year old technology and sometimes it
feels like our specific transmitter is one hundred years old
as well. This is why you know podcasts on demand

(15:59):
listening streaming. Hell, you can watch the show on my

We always are streaming even if we're not on the air.
Major exclusive story I believe is starting to now make

(16:23):
the rounds after we first reported that Wisconsin Democrat Assembly
Representative Sylvia or tease Valais, she represents a district on
the south side of the city of Milwaukee, she is
now charged with criminal disorderly conduct for allegedly threatening fellow
Democrats after they excluded her from a resolution by the

(16:48):
Hispanic Caucus marking Hispanic Heritage Month last August. Now, we
have been covering this for months and months and months.
It was basically, what did we call it, the legislator
of catfight between her and Priscilla Prado, who is the
chair of the Hispanic Democrat Caucus, and they wilfully excluded

(17:11):
Sylvia or tees Valse, who then introduced her own resolution
marking Hispanic Heritage Month. Well, that actually escalated and in
November she was actually or tees Villez banned from the
Wisconsin Capital by Assembly Minority leader Greta Nubauer after she
was accused of threatening to quote, shoot up the capital.

(17:36):
Now do you really think a sitting state legislator is
going to shoot up the capitol? No comment, But let's
just say for the sake of arguments, no, there are
a couple who are as nuts as you would imagine
that might actually consider doing it if they got mad enough.
But no, no, in reality, there is not a single

(17:57):
one who is actually going to take a gun and
shoot up the Cauk capital. She said, if you bring
a gun to a knife fight, I'll bring an AR
fifteen or something like that. And apparently just texting about
an AR fifteen was sufficiently scary enough for Greta Nubauer
to go to the Capitol police and to get ortes
Valez banned from the capitol. She actually had her credential striped.

(18:21):
She could not get to the floor of the State
Assembly for a vote.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Well.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
According to a criminal complaint that was filed against ortiz
Vales today, there was a subsequent investigation into those text
messages that ortiz Vales was sending to fellow Democrats. According
to the complaint, ortes Vales was upset about the resolution.
She stated that because witness one was moving forward with

(18:49):
the resolution, ortes Vales was going to tell the press
negative personal information about Witness one. Now, Witness one is
almost certainly Priscilla Prado. She was the one who was
in introducing the legislation. She was the one that orties
Valez was super angry at because she was not included
on the email seeking co sponsorship. They then were feuding

(19:13):
on social media, just taking potshots at each other. But
apparently Priscilla Prado was also going to the Capitol Police
along with another Democrat representative and working on a criminal complaint.
The complaint further allegens another member of the Assembly, another
Democrat quote stated that on August twenty ninth, twenty twenty five,

(19:36):
or tees Valez called him and stated, they are going
to do what I want them to do, or I'm
going to X Y and Z. When Witness IIE asked
what X, Y and Z were, or tees Vales made
comments about Witness I again Prato's personal life, as well
as comments about Witness one and other legislators. Now, if convicted,

(20:00):
or tees Valez faces a maximum penalty of ninety days
in jail and one thousand dollars in fines. Folks I'm
just going to be totally honest with you. The charges
here seemed totally unwarranted and motivated far more by a
political grudge than actual criminality. Remember, Democrats didn't just kick

(20:21):
Sylvia or tees Valez out of the State Assembly back
in November. On Friday, we also reported exclusively that or
tees Valez very publicly embarrassed Democrat leadership when they were
caught red handed barring their members from the floor so
that they would be able to vote on Republican authored bills. Now,

(20:43):
if you weren't listening on Friday, this was what I
believe to be a pretty sizable controversy that, of course disappeared.
Nobody else in the media besides us here on the
Dan O'Donnell Show, are going to want to report on
something like this. But there was a member by the
name of Joe Shean. He represents the Sheboygan area. He
is a Democrat. He's a former state or excuse me,

(21:06):
a former Sheboygan superintendent. And this was on a package
of bills seeking accountability for the state Department of Public
Instruction and State Superintendent Jill Underley. Shean had voted in
committee apparently for these bills, and he was very supportive
of the DPI accountability bills. Well, Republican Representative Shay Sortwell

(21:28):
is going to the floor for the session for the
roll call on Friday, the final day of the legislative
session in the State Assembly. He sees Shean walking the
other way and he calls out, hey, Representative, you're going
the wrong way. Shean apparently just laughed and walked towards
his office. Sortwell goes to the floor of the Assembly saying, ah,
it dawned on me why he was going to his

(21:51):
office and not the floor, because we were going to
vote on the DPI bills. And he was clearly told
by legislative leadership, by Democrat leadership, he was not allowed
to vote on these bills because they didn't want Republicans
to pass a quote bipartisan bill. They want no Democrats
ever voting for a Republican bill. But they can't essentially

(22:13):
force their members not to vote for something that they
want to vote for. So instead what they do is
they essentially force them from the floor. They bar them
from the floor. Now, this could have just been say
Sortwell making up stories. And there was a Democratic rep
by the name of Jill Billings, who got up and said,
this is disgusting. It's all a bunch of lies. That

(22:33):
sortwell was saying. Well, another Republican rep by the name
of Nate Gustafson says, excuse me, can I ask one
of my colleagues a question? And he wanted to ask
Sylvia Ortiz Vallees. He said, Representative Ortiz VLEs has Democrat
leadership ever barred you from the floor so that you

(22:55):
would not be allowed to take a vote on a
Republican authored bill. She answered yes. In other words, just
a couple of days ago, she confirmed something that is deeply,
deeply embarrassing to Assembly Minority leader Greta Nubauer and Democrats
leadership team that she was barred from the floor for

(23:15):
taking votes. Republicans were alleging that Joe Sheian and there
were a couple of other Democrats who mysteriously there was
one who mysteriously had a migraine, and the migraine it eased.
It eased just after the bill that he was going
to vote for with Republicans at about six pm. He
shows up back on the floor of the Assembly on

(23:37):
Thursday evening. So Sylvia Ortiz exposes all of this corruption,
all of this bullying, all of this attempt to silence
the voice of representatives of the people of Wisconsin by
literally barring them from the floor. All this from the
Party of Democracy, the great Defenders of Democracy and the
Democrat Party. They literally will not allow democracy to take

(24:00):
place if they don't like the outcome, If they don't
like that one of their members is going to vote
for a Republican bill, they will literally keep them from
the floor of the Assembly and the floor of the
State setate by any means necessary, like taking their ID.
That's it, exactly, Producer Eric. Yes, if you take their ID,
they are not able to vote. But again, you don't

(24:23):
need an ID to be able to vote. Great point, Eric,
That's essentially what happened to Sylvia Ortiz Flas back in November.
So this was on Friday. Is it a coincidence that
criminal charges over an incident that happened Remember back in
late August and early September that she's texting and supposedly

(24:46):
making all of these threats to what talk to the
press about other people's personal lives. Are you kidding me
that that rises to the level of criminal disorderly conduct?
So if I was to say, I'm mad at Sylvia
ortiz Valez, and I am going I know absolutely nothing

(25:09):
about Sylvia ortiz Valez's personal life, but if I say
in a text, hey, you had better vote for these
Republican bills, you had better When when Nate Gustafson asks
you if you've ever been forced from the floor so
you wouldn't vote for a Republican bill, you had better
say yes you have, or I am going to tell
everybody I don't know you're a secret Chicago Bears fan.

(25:32):
Does that sound like it rises to the level of
disorderly conduct. You've also got witnesses here who are, even
though they're of the same party, very clearly political opponents
of Representative ortiz Vales, one of whom, according to our

(25:54):
social media posts for about a week and a half straight,
absolutely hates Sylvia or teases guts. So we're supposed to
believe that saying I am going to say mean things
in public about Priscilla Prado's personal life. Now, of course,
my interest is totally pequd. What is so bad about

(26:17):
Priscilla Prado's personal life that even making reference to it
will get you criminal charges from the Capitol Police department.
And by the way, I have got some very serious
and pointed questions about the Madison Capitol Police as well
as the Dane County District Attorney that would actually file
these charges. I mean, you had in Milwaukee County. You

(26:41):
actually had the head of a very prominent district, the
Wisconsin Center District, pinching the rear end of the Milwaukee
City Common Council President Jose Perez the great Marty Brooks affair.
There were no criminal charges filed there now, so here
we go, Here we go. We got a protected liberal

(27:02):
Democrat in Milwaukee who apparently can't stop. He's got you know,
you've heard of an itchy trigger finger. They're saying Sylvie
Ortiz has an itchy trigger finger. She's threatening to shoot
up the Capitol. Well, apparently Marty Brooks has an itchy
pinchy finger that he can't tape it away from other
men's rear ends no matter how hard he tries. We

(27:22):
don't know. Is this guy is serial butt pincher. I
don't know. He might be the Jack the Ripper of
butt pinchings in Milwaukee for all we know. Just call
him Jack the Pincher. But of course he doesn't face
any criminal charges because it doesn't rise without even unwanted
sexual contact with the president of the Common Council's rear

(27:46):
end doesn't rise to the level of criminality. But saying
I'm going to say mean stuff about your personal life
that somehow is criminal misconduct. Boy, as the kids say,
make that one makes sense. You're listening to the Dan
o'donald show, Classical Conservatism and contemporary style. It is the

(28:10):
Dan o'donald Show. Welcome back to it. Democrats in Wisconsin
pointedly refuse to endorse one another, they file criminal charges
against one another, and they even aggressively pinch each other's butts. Yes,
that last one is one hundred percent not made up.

(28:32):
Marty Brooks, who is the head of the Wisconsin Center District,
actually had the cops called on him back in the
fall when he allegedly pinched Milwaukee Common Council President Jose
Perez's rear end at a bar following an event for
David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive who is trying to

(28:53):
be the next Wisconsin governor but can't quite figure out
how to check the Yes, I want insurance for every
single county employee next year box on the form. Funny
how quickly that story went away as Democrats are attempting
to go all in on getting this buffoon elected. A
new Marquette University law school pull out just a couple

(29:14):
of hours ago is utter disaster for Democrats. Do you
know who is leading the gubernatorial race Frannie Hawn easily
the farthest left, most insane person in that primary. Do
you know what percent support she has eleven ten percent,
to the second craziest person in that race, Mandela Barnes

(29:36):
at ten percent. Sixty five percent of Democrats say they're
simply waiting for orders from the party on who to
vote for up to excuse me, they are still undecided.
They're undecided because Democrats clearly don't rig their primaries, just
like they definitely didn't in the Senate race in twenty
twenty two. Remember it was just everybody just sort of

(29:57):
decided at the same time to drop out so Man
Della would get the nomination. That totally organically happened, and
Sarah got Luski was definitely not rewarded with the Secretary
of State job. Democrats in Wisconsin very clearly hate each
other's guts. I'm not even kidding you. It is so

(30:19):
beyond a parent all the way up the top levels
of government. Sarah Rodriguez desperately wanted Governor evers endorsement, but
guess what, she ain't gonna get it because Maggie Goo
and Goo's girlfriend Britt cut it back, who serves as
evers chief spokesperson. Maggie Goo is the unnaturally powerful chief

(30:43):
of staff to Tony Evers. We actually joked when Evers
was first elected all those years ago that Maggie Goo
is actually Wisconsin's real governor. It is further proof that
as goes Wisconsin, so goes the rest of the country.
We elect a doddering old buffoon because we see him
apparently as well. He's not like those other Democrats, he's

(31:06):
not crazy and radical. Well, it turns out the crazies
and the radicals were just hiding in his gray suit coat,
and that would be Maggie Gow. And we got a
steady stream of crazy radicalism for the past eight years,
just like we got under Biden. Oh, well, he's just
Uncle Joe. He's a mainstream Democrat. He's not like one

(31:26):
of those insane socialists. Now turns out you had the
secret cabal of thirty and forty something. They them's that
were actually running the country using Biden's auto pen and
that's how we got the radical open borders policy that
very nearly led to this country's destruction as a sovereign nation.

(31:51):
By the way, I think I have figured out why
it is that Tony Evers and Maggie Gow and Britt
cut a Back hate Sarah rodrig As so much. The
last straw was very clearly Rodriguez blowing up their gubernatorial
retirement announcement, where remember you might recall over the summer
I actually reported the exact day that Evers was going

(32:13):
to announce his retirement. Well, they got ticked off and
Britt cut a Back wanted to dunk on me, so
she actually moved back the retirement announcement by a week,
but nobody told Rodriguez. Rodriguez had her I'm running for
governor video ready to go on YouTube. She posted it
the day that Evers was originally going to announce his retirement,

(32:36):
the day that I reported, but she didn't make it
live on YouTube until the following week, the day after
Evers's actual retirement, thereby proving that the Evers administration was
lying that they actually did move back his gubernatorial retirement
announcement because of what some radio hosts said. It was
just very embarrassing. That was just the last straw. Apparently

(32:58):
cut a Back had been work looking for both the
governor's office and the Lieutenant governor's office. Right after the
twenty twenty two election. You remember, Mandela left his position
as lieutenant governor to run for Senate. Sarah Rodriguez got
herself elected in that Democrat primary. She was added to
the Evers ticket, and she rode his coattails to victory. Well,

(33:21):
she hired Cutterback to do pr work, to be her
media spokesperson, but very quickly realized that cutter Back was
doing absolutely no work. You might remember, it was a
big scandal. Cut Aback was her career was just stalled.
It was over, It was floundering. She was going nowhere
until she started dating the real governor of Wisconsin, Maggie Goo,

(33:44):
and Goo promoted her to be Ever's chief spokesperson. It
was a shocking, shocking conflict of interest which would not
fly in any corporation or any private sector setting in America.
But of course Tony Evers did absolutely nothing. Well, it
turns out, Rodriguez effectively fired cut Aback from her office

(34:06):
and cut it Back was so offended that the hostilities
have lingered ever since. That's what sort of laid the
groundwork for why those two evers and I don't even
think it's evers per se, but Maggie Goo and Sarah
Rodriguez really really really don't like each other. Now you
could argue that while Priscilla Prado and Sylvia ortiz Valez

(34:29):
also really really don't like each other. I think it's
just the opposite with Marty Brooks and Jose Perez. I
think Marty Brooks really really really likes Jose Perez. He's
just got an unfortunate way and frankly, rather rape ye
way of showing it. When we say Dems are in
disarray in Wisconsin, boy do we mean it? Stay tuned

(34:50):
unhinged lib next. Seriously, I think at this point it
would be easier to list the Democrats in Wisconsin who
actually like each other than the ones who apparently hate
each other's guts. Welcome back to the Dan O'Donnell show.
Coming up in the four o'clock hour. We are going
to spend pretty much the entire hour analyzing President Trump's

(35:12):
State of the Union address. We did so a little
bit talking about the moment that I think is really
going to last with people. Yes, obviously Team Usay's gold
medal winning hockey team being in attendance and introduced, and
Connor Hellibuck getting the Congressional Medal of Honor, Medal of Freedom.
I should say that was a big one. And that's

(35:33):
one that register is in a more cultural sense, but
the one that really registers politically and one that should
be in every single advertisement this coming fall for the midterms.
Is President Trump basically daring Democrats to stand for the
precept that the American government protects the interests of the

(35:54):
American people over illegal aliens, and then simply them simply
refusing to you stand. I mean that that image pretty
much says it all. Coff's dangerous because he's evil.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
America.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
I was tempted to give today's unhinged Liberal of the
day to all of those Democrats who refused to stand up,
or maybe Elan o'mar and Rashida Talib screaming their idiot
heads off saying that isis killed Americans. And do you
know who was sitting right next to Rashida Talib Mark Pokan,

(36:44):
Wisconsin's disgrace of a Congressman, Mark Pokan. I actually had
one of the funniest back and forth with him last
night if we have time, Producer, Eric, remind me to
recount that if we can, because I found it to
be hilarious. The man is he prides himself in his
ability to talk a lot of smack on X. Well.

(37:07):
Unfortunately for him, he ran up against the goat of
Twitter smack talkers here in Wisconsin. And that is yours truly,
all right. The unhinged liberal of the day today is
Oregon Congresswoman Maxine Dexter. Instead of attending the State of
the Union address, she held an event with a whole
bunch of people dressed in frog costumes.

Speaker 5 (37:30):
Tonight, I defy Trump and he has authoritarian project by
standing in joyful, radical, peaceful resistance with the Portland Frog Brigade.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Those for those who don't remember, those were the people
who were protesting against ice while dressed as giant frogs.
It is incredibly on brand for Democrats to skip the
State of the Union address for a week weird furry convention.
Congratulations Maxine Dexter for proving all of our prior beliefs

(38:07):
about just how weird and creepy Democrats are true. Maxine Dexter,
your unhinged liberal of the day. Stay tuned. The Dan
O'Donnell's show will be right back, complete State of the Union, address, analysis,
the Daily Trump Date, and much more after the news. No,
I'm dead serious about what I said at the top

(38:27):
of the show. Democrats have literally proved they stand for nothing.
Seet workson in multiple ways. They will not stand for
the woman who was reunited with her uncle the beautiful
surprise after he was being held by the Maduro regime.

(38:48):
Did they reply? Did they stand up for Buddy Taggart,
the World War II hero who's turning one hundred on
the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of America. That's actually
kind of amazing. This guy was alive for a significant
portion of American history. What would that be about thirty

(39:11):
percent of American history? Actually kind of amazing. Welcome back
to the Dan O'Donnell Show. It is conservative thought, not
just talk. And of course, since much of today is
about the State of the Union, you'd better believe what
is going to dominate the Daily Trump Day We're.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Gonna win so much you may even get tired of winning.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Sump just keeps winning.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
It is a win for the administration.

Speaker 6 (39:35):
It's also a big win for the United States.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
We have to keep winning.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
We have to win more. We're gonna win more.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Would you believe the President actually gave a variation of
that famous speech that was from the twenty sixteen campaign
where he said, they're gonna say, mister President, we can't
handle it. We're just winning too much. And I'm gonna
say no, We're gonna win more. We're gonna win more.
He actually did it last night while introducing the gold

(40:05):
medal winning team USA Hockey tand.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Country is winning again.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
In fact, we're winning so much that we really don't
know what to.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Do about it.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
People are asking me, please, please, please, mister President.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
We're winning too much. We can't take it anymore.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
We're not used to winning in our country until you
came along. We're just always losing. But now we're winning
too much, and I say, no, no, no, You're going
to win again. You're going to win big. You're gonna
win bigger than ever. And to prove that point, to
prove that point here with us tonight is a group
of winners who just made the entire nation proud. The

(40:45):
men's gold medal Olympic hockey team come on.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
And absolutely massive ovation from most Democrats, not all most the.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
First time I've ever seen them get up, and actually
not all of them did get up, but they beat
a fantastic Canadian team in overtime as everybody so, as
did the American women who will soon be coming to
the White House.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
Okay, can that finally put to rest this idea that
President Trump really didn't want to invite the women's team
to the White House and really didn't want to invite
them to the State of the Union address. I mean,
we had an.

Speaker 7 (41:31):
Entire forty eight hour freak out about that. There are
some libs who are still freaking out about that cool moment.

Speaker 1 (41:39):
During the recognition of the team USA men's hockey team,
Connor Hellabuck announced he's going to get the Presidential Medal
of fact.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
I just want to tell you that the members of
this great hockey squad will be very happy to hear
based on their vote and my vote, and in this case,
my vote was more important that I will soon be
presenting Connor with our highest civilian honor which we will
be given, and which has been given to many athletes

(42:07):
over the years.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
But when I say many, not too many, like twelve.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
It's called the highest civilian honor in our country.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
The Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Speaker 1 (42:22):
Very very cool honor for Hellibuk, who is a three
time winner of the NHL's Besidan Trophy, is the best
Goali and he's the reigning Heart Trophy winner as well
as the NHL's most valuable player. I dare say, though,
nothing will fill him with pride quite like a Presidential
Medal of Freedom and the Gold Medal. On policy, President
Trump's central focus was on how his administration in one

(42:44):
year has turned things around from the bad old days
of the Biden administration.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
When I least.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Spoken this chamber twelve months ago, I had just inherited
a nation in crisis, with the stagnant economy, inflation at
record levels, a wide open border, horrendous recruitment for military
and police, rampant crime at home, and wars and chaos
all over the world.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
But tonight, after just one year, I can.

Speaker 2 (43:14):
Say with dignity and pride that we have achieved a
transformation like no one has ever seen. Before and a
turnaround for the ages. It is indeed a turnaround for
the ages.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
The central theme of the President's speech was American spirit
and American pride ahead of the two hundredth anniversary of
the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the birth of
this country, and President Trump reiterated that sacred promise that
we make every single day to all of the people
who came before us in this great nation.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
From seventeen seventy six to today, every generation of Americans and
stepped forward to defend life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
and there.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Doing it for the next generation. But now it's our turn. Together,
We're building a nation where every child has.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
The chance to reach, hire, and go further, where government
answers to the people, not the powerful, and where the
interests of hard working American citizens are always our first
and ultimate concern. That is the debt we owe to
the heroes who came before us, and that is the
promise we must keep to America for our two hundred

(44:29):
and fiftieth year.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is your State of the
Union edition of the Daily Trump Date. Throughout this hour,
I would like to talk with you, folks, What did
you think about the President's State of the Union address?
Where do we go from here politically? On policy, your reactions,

talk with John. Leading us off. John, you're on the
Dan o'donald Show.

Speaker 8 (45:38):
Hello, sir, thank you for taking my call. I've never
spoken to you before, but it's nice to talk to you.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
Oh, welcome, welcome.

Speaker 8 (45:43):
Some I wanted to ask you about Trump's recognition of
the grieving mother of Arena Zaruska.

Speaker 6 (45:53):
Twenty three year old woman who was killed in Charlotte.

Speaker 8 (45:56):
North Carolina, during the president's comments regarding that crime. Looking
at the text of the State of the Union, so
these are his words, he said she was killed by
a deranged monster who had been arrested over a dozen
times and was released through no cash bail. And then
two sentences later he said she had escaped a brutal war.

(46:19):
She was a Ukrainian immigrant.

Speaker 4 (46:20):
She had escaped a brutal.

Speaker 6 (46:22):
War, only to be slained by hardened criminal set free
to kill in America. Came in through open borders. So
my question for you is, since the killer in that
case didn't come in through open borders and was actually
a US citizen, and since the state of North Carolina
does not have cash list bail, do you think that

(46:42):
when the President of the United States is going to
use the mother of a murder victim as you know,
sort of a prop during the State of the Union address,
he could at least get the facts of the murder case.

Speaker 8 (46:52):
Right.

Speaker 1 (46:53):
See, that doesn't actually sound like a genuine question, but
was the substance of what was said was arrested multiple
times and released?

Speaker 8 (47:04):
Yeah, I believe, Yeah, he was in long history of
mental in long history of it was what was his name?

Speaker 1 (47:09):
By the way, since you seem very well versed on this,
I mean, I'm not going to accuse you of just
kind of reading from talking points, John, But what was
what was the purpse name I'm looking at?

Speaker 6 (47:20):
No, No, that's fair.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
I'm always his name though, just real quick.

Speaker 6 (47:24):
His first name was. His first name was to Carlos
and I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (47:27):
His last de Carlos Juwan Brown. He was thirty four
years old. He had at least twelve prior arrests going
back at years, charges like threats and felony Larci. Yeah,
the President clearly misspoke there, but to somehow suggest that
this was to use to use Irina Zerutska and Anna Zarutzka,

(47:49):
who was there specifically to draw attention to the soft
on crime policies in Charlotte and North Carolina a little
bit more generally, and I guess even more generally than
that across the United States, a state that is, yes,
one that has been very notoriously soft on crime, especially

(48:10):
in the city of Charlotte. Does this actually negate the
fact that she was killed by someone who very clearly
should not have been out on the streets.

Speaker 8 (48:21):
I think what it does not negate is that that
the president clearly No.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
My question was pretty My question was pretty simple. My
question was pretty simple, John, No, you're actually not does
it negate yes or no? Does it negate that she
was killed by somebody who was freed based on soft
on crime principles? Just yes or no?

Speaker 8 (48:41):
Was she killed by Was she killed by an illegal
immigrant who got out on no cash bill?

Speaker 1 (48:46):
No, here's the here's here's the thing. I answered your question.
Here's the thing you have to answer, and I played
along with You know what essentially amounts to what essentially
mounts to misspeaking. You didn't know the guy's name, John,
until I actually you delayed for just long enough that
you were actually able to look it up. You have

(49:08):
no idea what his name was.

Speaker 7 (49:10):
Okay, you're using this because you've clearly gotten a talking
point which actually doesn't necessarily apply. The President was talking
more generally about if you want to talk about illegal
aliens who were released into this country.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
I mean, he very easily. I mean, do you do
you know that there was just an event the day
before the State of the Union address in which he
was meeting with angel families and talking about that exact thing.
Do you want to talk about any of the people
who were killed by those illegal aliens?

Speaker 7 (49:38):
Do you know any of their names? Can you name
a single one? Can you name a single one of
their names? John, Irena Zurutska was killed by the exact
same soft on crime policies that have been in praise
and have been leaving people unprotected for a long time. Yes,
I know, John, What you're trying to do now is

(50:00):
essentially filibuster by just repeating the same thing that you're saying.
This is actually a well worn left wing tactic of
just saying yes, you can't answer, Yes, you can't answer.
The President misspoke on something that was obviously very secondary
to what was going on. So was Irina Zarutska killed

(50:21):
by somebody who should have not been out of prison?

Speaker 9 (50:27):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (50:27):
Okay, that's all I needed to hear. Thank you very much, John. Yes,
I actually noticed that part to the President did say, Okay,
he shouldn't have been in this country. He was out
on cash list bail. What the President meant was that
he was out based on mental health determinations that should

(50:48):
have never been made. This was not specifically a no
cash bail instance. However, However, he was out basically repeatedly
as many as sixty or seventy different times. This guy

(51:08):
has had run ins with police over and over and
over again. The issue with the left is like with John,
who is just waiting what John is And I could
actually tell by how well spoken he was what they
will actually do. And I can't actually believe that they're
still doing this. I couldn't see where was he calling from?
Producer Eric Mundoline, Illinois. That's actually that's kind of proven

(51:32):
my point here. I can't believe that they still do
this rush limboy used to call him seminar callers, and
they will actually be fanned out after things like this
on the State of the Union. Oh well, the president
misspoke here, My goodness, do we need to go back
to President Biden saying we finally killed medicare in the debate? Well,

(51:55):
we didn't actually kill medicare. Would you believe that the
on Zarutzka being used as a prop being used as
a prop? Are you kidding me? Anna Zarutzka has been
a massive supporter of President Trump because, first of all,
she was sitting I believe she was sitting right next
to Erica Kirk, so she was a guest of the

(52:17):
President and the first lady. She was sitting in a
position of honor. She actually spent some time, I am told,
meeting with the President before the State of the Union address.
She became very emotional, she was she teared up during
that tribute. To suggest that she was nothing more than
a prop is disingenuous in the extreme. By the way,

(52:40):
for those who don't remember the case, she was stabbed.
Irena was three times in the back of the neck,
dying nearly instantly. And to me, one of the most
disgusting things about that crime was the fact that there
was absolutely nothing done about it by any of the
people who were sitting around there. Let's go back out

(53:03):
to the phones, talk with Justin in Germantown. You're up
next on the Dan O'Donnell show.

Speaker 10 (53:09):
Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. You took a
lot of my talking points there too, because one little
flub by by President Trump. And I would like to
remind people about, you know, about Biden's State of the
Union dress, But I digress. I thought that I thought
that it was very very well done, very powerful in

(53:33):
in a lot of ways, as you mentioned with the
with the Angel families, and what I'm struck by most
is how many terrible things have happened to two American citizens.
And it's almost it's almost hard to differentiate between all
that has all that has happened, and it's really nice

(53:53):
for for President Trump and necessary to keep them, keep
them alive in spirit, to you know, just just to
have them, just to have them remembered. So I I think,
I think that he just did a really fantastic job
with with a lot of points, and I I just

(54:16):
it's it sometimes just gets overshadowed though by all the
nonsense and the antics that the Democrats do. I sometimes
I feel myself watching their watching their reactions to things,
because I like, it's just it's just beyond me how
they can't how they can't get on board just with

(54:39):
common sense American things, and it's just I I struggle
to understand it, and I just don't believe that I
and many other people will ever understand it on what
they can simply just get on board with or just
simply refuse to because of their constituents. I but overall,

(55:00):
I just thought it was a really fantastic very American
State of the Union speech, and I was just very
proud of our country. Thank you for taking my call.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Guys, Well, you're very welcome, sir. Yeah, it was obviously
very patriotic, very raw, raw flag waving, but there also
was a whole lot of very serious policy embedded in that,
especially on the economy. And we are going to actually
get into that. President Trump cleaning up after the mess
that was the Biden administration and his policies, finally getting

(55:32):
a chance to work. Plus more of your phone calls
coming up next here on the Dan o'donald's show, and
we go back out to the phones and talk with
Paul in Racine responding to President Trump's first State of
the Union address of the second term. Paul, you're on
the Dan o'donald show.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
What's going on, sir, Thanks for taking my call, Dan,
And I want to thank you for your passion with
that first caller, because I think it's exactly that sort
of passion that's going to he needed a the midterms
if were to win.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
Yeah, for those who weren't I'm sorry to interrupt, for
those who weren't listen. I always feel like we have
to reset after a commercial break because oftentimes we have
a different audience coming in. We had a caller who
very clearly is just randomly calling from Illinois. This apparently
is the narrative. Rush Limbaugh called them seminar callers. I
can't believe they're still doing them. We only get them oftentimes.

(56:24):
You'll see the frequency pick up ahead of elections, after
the State of the Union is a common one, and
they've got the talking points. I've got the why I
asked him in case you're wondering why I asked him
what the guy's name was was. And you'll notice he
had to delay a little bit before he said, I
think it's to Carlos something. It's because he had his
talking points right in front of him. He had no

(56:45):
idea about the case. He was just saying what he
was told to say. President Trump very clearly misspoke. This
was one of those areas where I believe he went
off script where he does the weave, and he was saying, well,
this was someone who should have never been in our country,
and this was someone who is out on cash list bail. No,
he was released because he was getting mental health evaluations

(57:06):
that were determining that he didn't need to be locked up.
There was low cash bail there, It wasn't a no
cash bail situation. The President's larger point was this is
clearly somebody who should not be on the streets, but
should be on the street, or but was on the streets.
So and yes, I did get a little passionate because
frankly misspeaking and after four years, after four years of

(57:30):
Biden not actually saying anything coherent. It makes me laugh. Anyway, Paul,
the floor is yours your reactions to the speech.

Speaker 4 (57:39):
No, So that's a great segue into what I was
going to talk about. It is refreshing to have a
president who actually articulates what he's doing with the economy,
what he's doing with tariffs. He seems to know this
stuff inherently, and it's really refreshing. But I thought he
did a great job of his balancing accomplishments over the
last year with the economy, with crime, with foreign policy,

(58:02):
to agenda moving forward, what he wants to do, you know,
going forward, and really you know, connecting. That was the
other thing that I thought he did a great balance
of those three things. He really connected with the audience
and really brought back American pride when he had that
hockey team there, I mean, and you could see there

(58:26):
was this genuine and you know, affection of like, you know,
we this is what he means when he talks about
make America great again, coinciding with the two hundred and
fiftieth anniversary of this country's you know, beginnings. And then
the other thing too that if you haven't seen Milania,

(58:46):
I think Milania the movie does a really good job
of kind of illustrating exactly what President Trump wants this
country to be, and that's to be great. And it
just boozes through that me that movie. And again I
thought that the speech, that was what I took away.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
And you know what, that's very interesting, Paul, that you
say that you talk about that connection through shared patriotism
and shared love of country and a desire for America
to be great and just feeling this incredible sense of
pride when Team USA hockey just won the gold unexpectedly.
I mean, it's you know, it's in basketball, for example,

(59:25):
we're favored to win every single time. It's a shock
when Team USA basketball doesn't win. So it's different when
you're sort of the underdog and against all odds. I mean,
there was some Canadian commentator who said, look, I defy
you to tell me who the better team was yesterday.
He was talking about clearly it was Canada. I mean,
you could argue that Canada, outside of Helen Buck had

(59:49):
nine of the best ten players on the ice and
they didn't even have Sidney Crosby, wh apparently is out
four weeks because of an injury suffered during the Olympic tournament.
But it was overcome those odds. There was just something
uniquely American. We all sort of felt that that just
incredibly like USA America. And the reason I think Democrats

(01:00:11):
needed to attack that, needed to take that down, needed
to divide, is for the same reason that they attack
everything that unites everybody. They need to constantly remember this
is no longer a traditional American Democratic party. They have
been fully taken over by the socialists. So there always

(01:00:31):
needs to be class struggle. There always needs to be
whether it's based on actual socioeconomic class, whether it's based
on race, whether it's based in this case on gender.
There always needs to be some conflict so they can
be the ones to step in and say, Okay, if
you put us in control of government, we will solve
all of this angst. We will solve all of this

(01:00:54):
this strife. They can't have a United America. What I
think they absolutely hate the most about Trump is that
connection that he has with so many people, and so
many people are willing to overlook the fact that, like, yes,
he does get the details wrong, he gets facts wrong.

(01:01:14):
He was wrong about the Arena Zarutzka case. And I
actually winced a little bit because I was actually when
I was watching that, I was, you know, taking notes,
and as someone put it, and I forget who you were, sir,
but I do appreciate it. Someone said, the best part
of the State of the Union address is all the
memes from Dan O'Donnell. Yes, I am simultaneously taking notes

(01:01:37):
and entertaining myself by posting funny jokes and whatever comes
into my head. My sons and I and my wife
were watching it. My daughter was interested for about five minutes,
and then she went back on the iPad with her
friends to play roadblocks. And what Democrats don't like is
the fact that so many people are willing to overcome

(01:02:00):
that and understand that Donald Trump is a very flawed man.
That they just can't get this through their heads. That
we like Trump, and we support Trump in spite of
his flaws. We understand his laws, we accept his flaws,
and frankly, half of us would vote for Satan himself

(01:02:21):
because he is far less crazy than what Democrats have become.
I'm kidding, of course, for those of you who are
very religious, I would not vote for Satan. I'd have
to think long and hard. But it was Satan versus
elon Omar, I'm gonna go Omar, but it would be close,
Satan versus AOC, Satan versus Gavin Newsom. Trick question. If

(01:02:49):
there is any politician who actually could be Satan in disguise,
like from a nineteen eighties movie where he's like this
rich yuppie who tries to seize control and then you
learn later that he's actually the Prince of Darkness, it
would totally be Gavin Newsom, right, Like if the devil
took human form, he would one hundred percent pick the

(01:03:10):
form of Gavin Newsom. There's just no denying that. But
my point is that because Trump has that connection, because
Trump has that ability to just truly connect with Americans
over that shared love of country, something that frankly, very few,
if any democrats can connect with the average American. How

(01:03:32):
long did it take them after the most patriotic moment
in months, if not years, Team USA winning the hockey goal.
There was just this surge of page How long did
it take them to say that? There was one writer
today I think it was from the Athletic called Team
USA's hockey win a low light of the Olympics because

(01:03:52):
of the celebration. It took him a grand total of
what two hours? Two hours before they had to again.
It exploit the supposed divisions that we have in American society.
It is all very machiavellian. It is all straight out
of the Communist manifesto, and it always gets back to
this idea of perpetual struggle. There always needs to be

(01:04:15):
perpetual conflict between people so that the Soviets, the Socialists,
the communists can exploit it. We'll be right back with
more of your calls. Kevin in Grand Shoot is up
next here on the Dan o'donald Show. Welcome to the program, Kevin,
great to have you.

Speaker 11 (01:04:34):
Thanks Dan.

Speaker 12 (01:04:36):
I could not believe when he said, if you agree
with this statement, then stand up in fear. Support the
first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens,
not illegal aliens.

Speaker 11 (01:04:48):
My first gut reaction was, of course.

Speaker 12 (01:04:50):
They're going to stand up. They can't not stand up
for that.

Speaker 11 (01:04:54):
And then when they didn't, I couldn't believe it. I thought,
we just won the midterms. Your they're gonna show that
picture and every ad.

Speaker 12 (01:05:03):
I can't believe they hate him that much that they couldn't.
I mean, they all of those people in office have
sworn up hold the constitution. Yeah, they took it all
to do exactly that, and they refused to stand up
in support of that just blew me away. I couldn't
believe he was pray to do that because I thought, oh,
they're gonna stand up, and.

Speaker 1 (01:05:25):
Then what Well then he says, Then he says, you
stand now, but you stand for illegals with everything you do,
and come with us, and actually, you know, but I
think he knew. He knew there was just no chance
any of them were going to stand, any of them
were going to clap.

Speaker 4 (01:05:43):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
I don't necessarily agree that Republicans just won the midterms,
but if that is not in every single ad, if
you are not focusing, yes, you know, we always I
feel like we always get sucked into this same trap
where we're arguing about, well the economy isn't really as
bad as you think it is. No, no, no, Well

(01:06:07):
you see Joe Biden. No, Democrats stand up for illegal aliens.
They want as many illegals in this country as humanly possible.
Just look at what happened over the last four years.
Look at how much better things have gotten under President Trump.
Now that we have at least a million, probably closer
to two million. The White House says it might even

(01:06:29):
be as many as three million people who have actually
left this country. And this look, it's it's reflected pretty
much everywhere. You've got more Americans working, you have got
crime rates going down. In fact, the murder rate and
the fetanol rate, the amount of fetanol that is into

(01:06:52):
this country is the lowest it's almost ever been.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
The flow of deadly fentanyl across our border is down
by a record fifty six percent in one year, and
last year the murder rates saw its single largest decline

(01:07:19):
in recorded history.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
This is the biggest.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
Decline, think of it, in recorded history, the lowest number
in over one hundred and twenty five years.

Speaker 1 (01:07:29):
Now, how did that happen? Democrats are still in control
of all of the murder capitals of the United States.
There hasn't suddenly been a Republican elected governor in Maryland
and a Republican mayor elected in Baltimore, Wisconsin. Milwaukee hasn't
seen a Republican mayor since nineteen oh eight. It has
been what one hundred and what is that? One hundred

(01:07:54):
and eighteen years since we've had a Republican mayor. The
only substantive policy see change was mass deportations of violent
illegal alien criminals. If you have fewer people who are
willing to murder, you are going to get fewer murders.
Not only that, since there are fewer people competing with

(01:08:14):
American citizens for jobs, more Americans are working than ever.

Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
More Americans are working today than at any time in
the history of our country.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
Think about that, anytime in the history of our country.
More working today.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
And one hundred percent of all jobs created under my
administration have been in the private sector.

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Not only that, one hundred percent of jobs created have
gone to American citizens, one hundred percent of net jobs.
This totally reverses a six year long trend from twenty
nineteen to twenty twenty five. One hundred percent of net
jobs created went to non American citizens, people who were
not born I shouldn't say that people non American born workers,

(01:09:00):
people who were not born in the United States. One
hundred percent of net jobs created under President Trump and
his first term went to American born citizens. And when
you have a lot of the people who were suddenly
thrown into this country, and all of them needed homes,
and a whole lot of them are gone in the

(01:09:20):
span of a year, what happens, Hey, wouldn't you know it?
Home prices go down.

Speaker 2 (01:09:25):
Mortgage rates are the lowest and four years and falling fast.
And the annual costs of the typical new mortgage is
down almost five thousand dollars just since I took office
one year.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
And low interest.

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
Rates will solve the Biden created housing problem. Well at
the same time, protecting the values of those people who
already own a house that really feel rich for the
first time in their lives. We want to protect those
values who want to keep those values up.

Speaker 3 (01:09:57):
We're going to do both.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
You see, all of this is related. Crime rates are down,
drug overdoses are down. The amount of fetanol that is
killing people through those drug over doses is doubt home
prices are down, wages are going up because there is
less competition for jobs, because there are less workers in

(01:10:18):
the country who are willing to do those jobs for
far less money than American citizens would do them. That's
why I've always thought it to be the worst canard
in terms of arguments about labor. Well, there are just
certain jobs that Americans will not under any circumstances.

Speaker 11 (01:10:34):
Too.

Speaker 1 (01:10:34):
How the hell do we know We've had a small
country full of illegal aliens in this country ever since
the nineteen eighty six amnesty, when Ronald Reagan in the
easily the worst moment of his presidency, he was just
absolutely duped by Democrats who said, oh, yes, yes, yes,
we'll secure the border. Yes we will see there will
be no more illegal immigration. Well nine years after that,

(01:10:58):
you had even Bill Clinton in his State of the
Union address in nineteen ninety five saying, we've got to
do something about the problem that is illegal immigration. All
of these issues get solved when you get rid of
people who do not have a right to be here,
who should not be here, and who are committing with
people competing with people I should say, who do have

(01:11:19):
a right to be here, who are American citizens or
who want to be American citizens, who have valid work visas,
green cards, they are permanent legal residents. They are assimilating
into American culture. We are still a melting pot, but
we are not the depository for the entire Third world.
We don't have the resources, we don't have the ability

(01:11:41):
to sustain that. And what you are seeing, the easing
up of the crime rate, the easing up of housing
prices being artificially high, which has artificially increased the price
of rent, artificially pushing down wages. All of that is
easing because of President Trump's cracked down on illegal immigration

(01:12:01):
and subsequent deportation agenda. You're listening to the Dan o'donald show.
More in just a second. Okay, wait, what for those
of us listening on WISN radio. Gion Jelosi from Fox
News just recounted in the Fox True Crime Minute one

(01:12:21):
of the most insane stories I think I've ever I
wasn't even paying attention. I'm like, wait, what he dressed
as his wife to lure weight? What can we find that?

Speaker 7 (01:12:33):
Producer, Eric, I want to replay that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:36):
That was the damnedest thing I've heard in quite some time.
My goodness, Vice President jd Vance today talking about Oh
here we go. Vice President Jdvance, are you able to
find that. I'm going to see if producer Eric can play,

(01:12:59):
we can try to pull. Okay, we might not be
able to catch it before the top of the That
was the wildest crime. So forget about Nancy Guthrie. I
want this Gianna Jelosi story to be the number one
story that we're all obsessed with for the better part
of a month. Vice President J. D Vadz on Fox
News Today said that a big part of the first

(01:13:21):
year of the Trump administration has been cleaning up after
the mess made by four years of Joe Biden.

Speaker 13 (01:13:27):
In some ways, we are pushing a car uphill because
the Biden administration left us such a disaster of an economy,
the highest peacetime debt in American history, skyrocketing inflation. A
lot of Americans who had lost three thousand dollars was
how much the average American had lost in take home pay.
Now in a year, we've actually seen the average American
gain about twelve hundred dollars in take home pay. But

(01:13:50):
if you're sitting at home, from the perspective of the
Biden administration, you were still worse off than you were
when Joe.

Speaker 3 (01:13:55):
Biden took over.

Speaker 13 (01:13:57):
So we are absolutely pushing that car uphill. But here's
the good news, Bill. I think we're about to get
over the hump. I think that tax season is around
the corner. A lot of Americans because of no tax
on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security,
they're about to get a massive tax income refund. We've
seen this massive trillions and trillions of dollars coming into

(01:14:17):
our country to build new factories. Those construction jobs are
starting to hit the economy. Then the manufacturing jobs once
those factories are built will hit the economy too. So
I think that we've got a lot of momentum here.
But the President said this last night. We inherited a mess.
Our ass to the American people is let us continue
to fix this mess.

Speaker 3 (01:14:36):
Make your life better.

Speaker 13 (01:14:38):
That's what the President is prioritizing, and that's what we're
going to keep doing.

Speaker 1 (01:14:42):
It's almost like Democrats win by losing. They succeed by failing.
That Biden was such a failure, that the inflation was
so disastrous that his policies, and yes it was his policies,
and his policies alone responsible for information. I don't even
feel like I said this for four straight years on

(01:15:05):
the Dan O'Donnell show. At this point, I feel like
it's inarguable what was responsible for inflation. I mean, as
soon as the stimulus checks hit people's wallets, we skyrocketed
to a thirty year high in inflation in CPI year
over year, thirty year high. The month that the stimmy

(01:15:26):
checks go out, it was May of twenty twenty one.
They go out in April May, as those checks are
being spent, thirty year high. By July, we have the
highest in forty years. By July of twenty twenty two,
we are up nine point two percent year over year.
Weird how that didn't happen with COVID initially when President

(01:15:46):
Trump signed stimulus packages essentially to keep companies solvent, to
keep companies from going under, to essentially supplement people's pay No,
it was only when people were going back to work
and there was a demand for goods and services that
wasn't there, that all of a sudden, we have enhanced
unemployment benefits, we have payment from the government, and worst

(01:16:08):
of all, we have massive payments directly to governments, so
we have all of these dollars chasing relatively scarce goods
because the supply chain globally is still all messed up
because of the left wing shutdowns all across the globe,
which should have been eased up a year after the
pandemic first broke out in February March of twenty twenty,

(01:16:31):
when it really first started hit the American shoreline. But
I digress. It's taken a long time for now Trumpanomics
to really work, and all of this foreign investment in
the United States is having an impact, But the biggest
thing that's having an impact is simply going to be
Americans having more of their own dollars in their own

(01:16:54):
pockets and wages finally outstripping inflation so that people can
actually start to get ahead, invest save, and achieve the
American dream. Dan o'donald Show, Come right back, five o'clock

Speaker 2 (01:17:49):
Members of Congress, the state of our Union is strong.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
President Trump getting high marks for his State of the
Union address last night, especially as he introduced the gold
medal winning team USA Hockey team and noted that that
was the only time that Democrats actually stood up and applied.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
It's the first time I've ever seen them get up,
and actually not all of them did get up, but
they beat a fantastic Canadian team in overtime as everybody saw,
as did the American women who will soon be coming
to the White House.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
The President focused on his economic agenda successes on illegal immigration,
cutting taxes, Trump RX, Trump accounts, and the like. Democrats
again proved that they literally stand for nothing. Not a
single person that the President introduced, not a single proposal,
not a single American victory. We have been covering the

(01:18:54):
State of the Union address all afternoon long. Also an
exclusive story. The rest of the media is starting to
pick up on criminal charges filed against the Democrat Assembly
Representative Sylvia or Tees Valeise disorderly conduct for allegedly threatening
to reveal secrets about another member of the Wisconsin Assembly.

(01:19:14):
Apparently you could be criminally charged for things that teenage
girls do at sleepovers. Coming up later this hour, we
will dive into a brand new Marquette University Law School
poll that really is not very good news for either
Democrats running for governor or Liberal Supreme Court candidate Chrissy Taylor.

(01:19:34):
That coming up in just a second here on the
Dan o'donald Show. Another thing that was announced in the
State of the Union address, Vice President JD. Vance is
going to head up the Trump administration's efforts to combat fraud.
Vance was on Fox News this morning talked about what
that nobody has.

Speaker 13 (01:19:53):
Ever tried to take a systematic look at how much
fraud there is in the federal government, how many illegal
aliens are on medicaid. We know that it's billions and
billions of dollars that should go to American citizens. It's
going to illegal aliens. How many fraudulent daycare centers have
been set up where that money should go to American
citizens to help their kids get into childcare, instead it's

(01:20:13):
being stolen from them by illegal aliens in our country.
How much have government officials actually been complicit in this
fraud because some of them have gotten wealthy or at
the least they've gotten campaign donations from the people who've
gotten rich from that fraud. The story of the American
economy in so many ways during the Biden administration bill
is that the American citizen was ripped off for people

(01:20:36):
who shouldn't be here and by politicians who should have
known better.

Speaker 1 (01:20:39):
Obviously, the efforts to combat that fraud started in Minnesota.
They are now moving on to California, and it is
now being reported that Minnesota is not going to get
back a quarter of a billion dollars that was frozen
by the federal government because of just how much fraud
they refused to stop.

Speaker 8 (01:21:03):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:21:04):
Marquette University Law School poll shows that among registered voters
in the state Supreme Court race, which I am actually
kind of shocked, it is getting absolutely no buzz, and
that is probably good news. For the conservative in the race,
Maria Lazar. Chris Taylor, who has had just hundreds of

(01:21:26):
thousands of dollars pour in for her, is backed by
seventeen percent of registered voters, Lazarre backed by twelve percent
undecided sixty six percent. We have a margin of error
in this pool of plus or minus four point three percent,
meaning Taylor is leading. That I think is to be expected.

(01:21:50):
Taylor should be considered a massive favorite in this race,
but Lazar is just outside the margin of error. Here's
where things get a little bit diceier, but only slightly
for Lazarre. Among likely voters who say they are absolutely
certain to vote in this election, Taylor leads Lazarre by

(01:22:12):
about seven points twenty two percent to fifteen percent, with
sixty two percent saying they're undecided. Given the fact that
pretty much everybody in political circles in Wisconsin wrote this
race off, I can tell you the exact date that
this race was written off. Do you know why, because

(01:22:34):
it was the same day that my family got our
little puppy Buddy. It was August twenty ninth, and I
was actually tipped off by multiple sources that Rebecca Bradley
was not going to run for reelection. So while I
was driving up to somewhere in the middle of nowhere,
Wisconsin to the puppy breeder, the I wish I could

(01:22:56):
remember her name. Wonderful, wonderful woman. She is the state's
top breeder of Teddy Bear puppies. If you are looking
for a Teddy Bear puppy, it's a mix of a
b Sean Freeze and a Shitsu. And they're just incredibly
good dogs. I mean, Buddy is just I love that
little pup. They just got such a sweet temperament. They're

(01:23:17):
not little yappers. In fact, they barely bark. They are
hypoallergenic hair. Instead of just wonderful dogs, email me and
I'll get you her name. She is really really what
if it takes excellent care of those puppies. She could
actually trace Buddy's lineage back to like his great great grandparents,

(01:23:38):
so you know, not a puppy mill. And that's probably
why we had to drive three and a half hours
each way to get our puppy. But I actually broke
that story while we were driving. I recall we stopped
for a bathroom break so I could tweet out and
post on Facebook that Rebecca Bradley was not going to
run for reelection.

Speaker 2 (01:23:56):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:23:57):
That sent a signal to pretty much everybody in conservative
legal and political circles that this race was over. Now, really,
you could have seen this coming. I don't think Bradley
was ever really planning to run for reelection because she
was not raising money and she is a fantastic justice.
She has been the conservative hammer over the past decade

(01:24:20):
in Wisconsin. Frankly, though, I don't blame her one bit. Conservatives, Republicans,
everybody gave everything they could for the two races where
control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court was on the line.
Dan Kelly in twenty twenty three lost by lost to

(01:24:41):
Janet protoce It's by eleven points. Brad Schimmel lost to
Susan Crawford by even more. I believe it was closer
to twelve percentage points, double digits, just months after Donald
Trump won Wisconsin in the presidential race, and Shimmell did
an excellent job. His backers, his campaign did an excellent job.

(01:25:05):
It was thought if he could get sixty percent of
the voters for Donald Trump to vote for him, he
would win, and in fact, he would have won every
other Supreme Court race in the history of Wisconsin by
a landslide. With the vote total he got, he would
have absolutely destroyed Janet Protoce w It's two years earlier.
The only problem Susan Crawford turned out seventy six percent

(01:25:29):
of the Kamala Harris vote. One of the big things
that is always at play in off year elections and
in spring elections, in what I will consider off cycle elections,
people are sort of geared towards elections in November, and
a lot of people, folks, I mean, not you. You're listening

(01:25:52):
to a show like this for entertainment at five point
fifteen on a Wednesday evening, you obviously care quite a
bit about this stuff. Most people think there are only
elections every four years in this country, and they certainly
vote like that as well. It's a big problem. It
was always a big problem for Democrats as they could
only really get their voters out in presidential years and

(01:26:13):
here in Wisconsin Republicans which just dominate spring elections, Supreme
court elections, mid term elections, gubernatorial elections. I mean, we
just were a machine at getting those high propensity and
middle propensity voters out. Now that's all shifted there has
been a fundamental shift. The suburbs have gone increasingly liberal

(01:26:38):
in the era of Trump. I think in large measure
it's because women have just gotten radicalized. There is no
other word for what has happened to women really across
the age spectrum. I mean, boomer libs as cringe as
boomer lib males are, Boomer lib females are e cringier.

(01:27:02):
And then you've got the ones who are my age
and younger millennial generation Z. They're just freaking crazy. Forget
about burning bras, they're actually burning ice facilities. For goodness sakes,
they are hurling Molotov cocktails at ice detention centers. There

(01:27:22):
was just the woman. Where was it she was? She
was caught on a viral video she was literally pouring
gasoline on an ice facility. I think it was. Was
it in Portland, I don't remember where it was a
week or two ago, attempting to burn it down, just
you know, dressed very casually. It would have been somewhere downside.

(01:27:44):
I mean, look at what's been going on at the
the Copland facility down in Atlanta cop City. They've been
attacking that for years as it's been constructed. It's just
the big police training center. Women have been increasingly whereas
men have become more conservative. The problem women who are

(01:28:05):
typically way better organized and just to think about your
own family, guys, and be honest, who usually runs the
family calendar? Who remembers when the kid's birthdays are? Who
buys all the Christmas presents that don't come from Santa? Yeah,
it's your wife, right. Women are typically much more likely
to be voting in these off year elections, and because

(01:28:26):
they're politically radicalized, Democrats have just much more in years past.
They have put everything in their lives second to politics.
Politics has become the religion. Politics has become the reason
for living, for goodness sakes for a whole lot of people,
for a disturbing number of people on the political left.

(01:28:53):
You and I watched the Trump I'll be totally honest
with you, folks. I turned off The State of the obviously,
I could watch it anywhere and did on my iPad.
I turned it off because my sons really wanted to
watch a Night of the Seven Kingdoms. We got them
started watching this show. I was talking about it on
Monday after it's finale aired on HBO. Just how incredibly

(01:29:17):
if you have teenage sons. There are a couple of
scenes that you probably should screen ahead of time, including
seeing one of the old men nights shall we say,
his long sword in graphic graphic detail. It is about
the best message you could get for young men about

(01:29:37):
what chivalry, what being a role model, what living life
is actually about. I actually turned off the end of
the speech so the boys could watch that, so we
could as a family watch this show that we've been
getting into and talk about it as a family, And
then I went back to the speech. I do this
for a living folks, but what was more important to

(01:29:59):
me was bonding with my sons. Democrats, in large measure,
there is nothing more important than politics. That's why you
get I mean you want to talk about the financial
advantage that Democrats have. Think about Republicans. Conservatives will give
to their church, they'll give to charitable groups. Democrats who

(01:30:22):
have the money to give and give in huge numbers.
They are giving to all manner of five oh one
c three groups funded by George Soros, including did you
see the Big News in media Today? Wisconsin Watch is
now partnering with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. It is the
UW Madison based organization. They took a million bucks from

(01:30:45):
George Soros. They are entirely funded by left wing groups,
and they're going to be doing the fact checking for
the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. All I can tell you, folks is,
don't worry. An alternative is on the way. Watch for
it along with the ultimate Conservative voter Guide in the

(01:31:06):
digital space, hertesy of us here at the Dan O'Donnell Show.
I am so so excited to be debuting this coming
up probably right around Saint Patrick's day. Hopefully this will
give us, it might be able to help us draw
a level, shall we say, in the messaging battle that

(01:31:27):
we constantly face. But the bottom line is that Chris
Taylor in this state Supreme Court race has massively outraised
and massively outspent Maria Lazar. She's got a five percent lead.
If you're talking about and likely voters, always you look
at registered voters. Will they vote, won't they vote? Not

(01:31:48):
a big deal. The number that you want to look
at is those who say they are absolutely certain to
vote in this election. Taylor leads Lazar by seven points. Again,
you've got a plus or minus four point three percent
margin of error. Let's say it's about half the difference.
Let's call it probably a five point lead. I'm going

(01:32:09):
to say this race probably looks right now like a
five point lead for Chrissy Taylor. Sixty two percent say
they are still undecided. That means, folks, if we get
all of our people out there, Democrats are not focused
on this race. They just aren't. The money is not
flowing in because control of the Supreme Court is not

(01:32:31):
at stake. They don't see this as the life or
death stakes that they often do with these state Supreme
Court races. This in fact, might be an opportunity for
Marializar to potentially steal this race. But everybody has to
get out, everybody has to vote, everybody has to vote early.

(01:32:52):
We're doing our part. We're putting together the Ultimate Conservative
voter Guide, so you will be armed with the knowledge
of who the Conservatives are in as many races as
we can possibly find. And again, we do want as
many of you reaching out to us as humanly possible.
If you know who conservatives are in your area, let

(01:33:13):
us know about it. Because we are in the process,
myself and a number of people I'm working with who
are putting this voter guide together. We are in the
process of whittling it down and getting as many people
out there. There will be an interactive digital map. We
are very excited to be doing this, and you will
hear a lot more about it. But what everybody is
talking about today is the truly shocking polling in the

(01:33:37):
Democratic gubernatorial primary. You're not going to want to miss
these numbers. They're coming up next a tour de force
of truth. It is the Dan O'Donnell Show. Welcome back
to it. The truth is that the Trump administration has

(01:33:57):
spent the better part of a year or cleaning up
after Biden's mess. One of the more powerful moments of
President Trump's speech last night at the State of the
Union was when he said, the exact same Democrats who
are responsible for the cost of living crisis, and it

(01:34:18):
was a crisis under Biden. They're in this room and
they have the cajones to lecture us about affordability.

Speaker 2 (01:34:27):
For decades before I came along, we had the exact opposite.
From trade to healthcare, from energy to immigration. Everything was
stolen and rigged in order to drain the wealth out
of the productive, hardworking people who make our country great,
who make our country run. Under Biden and his corrupt

(01:34:48):
partners in Congress and beyond. It reached a breaking point
with the Green News scam, open borders for everyone. They
poured in by the millions and millions from prisons, from
mental institutions. There were murders, eleven eight hundred and eighty
eight murders.

Speaker 3 (01:35:05):
They came into our country.

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
You allowed that to happen, and record setting inflation that
costs the typical family thirty four thousand dollars in just
a speck of time. Now, the same people in this
chamber who voted for those disasters suddenly use the word
affordability a word they just used it.

Speaker 3 (01:35:27):
Somebody gave it to them, knowing.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
Full well that they caused and created the increased prices
that all of our citizens had to endure.

Speaker 3 (01:35:37):
You caused that problem. You caused that problem, they did.

Speaker 1 (01:35:44):
And now Wisconsin Democrats are all saying the exact thing, affordability, affordability, affordability. Well,
I'm sorry. What is the biggest sticker shock that wisconsinights
have faced over the past four years? Probably their property
tax bills? Right, property taxes go up by the biggest
one year margin in thirty years, biggest one year property

(01:36:09):
tax hike on average in Wisconsin since nineteen ninety three
ninety three, because of Governor evers four hundred year veto,
we have massive spikes in utility bills because Governor Evers
Public Service commission commissioners, and they are appointed by the governor.
They approved two point two billion dollars in cumulative rate hikes,

(01:36:33):
approving seventy one percent of all requested rate hikes. Meanwhile,
you compare that with Governor Walker's PSC commissioners three hundred million,
seven times less money, and just twenty one percent of
requested rate hikes got approved, Which brings us to the
new Marquette University Law School pull. Tony Evers is not

(01:36:56):
running for a third term. Of course, who is leading
in the race to succeed him. You would not believe
me if I told you we got to find a
theme song for this young lady. Franny Howng easily the
most far left nutso Democrat that they could find, at

(01:37:19):
just eleven percent. Mandela Barnes is right behind her at
ten percent, and then in an utter disaster for the
more establishment candidates Sarah Rodriguez and David Crowley, they are
well back at six percent. For Rodriguez, just three percent
for Crowley Man oh Man. Now sixty five percent of

(01:37:43):
Democrat primary voters are waiting to see who the Democrat
Party orders them to vote for. Excuse me, they're undecided.
They are undecided. They have not yet decided for themselves,
because clearly Democrat voters they think for themselves. They don't
just get ordered around. They're not brainless sheep who just
allow their party bosses to rig their primaries every single year. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

(01:38:07):
Independent thinkers, those Libs sixty five percent. Sixty five percent
are still undecided. Over on the Republican side, of course,
everybody is voting for Tom Tiffany. This does, however, reflect
the fact that I think Mandela Barnes has been skating
by on the fact that he's the only Democrat in

(01:38:28):
this race that people know. He's the only name candidate truly,
David Crowley is the Milwaukee County executive. How many people
even in Milwaukee County know who he is? Exactly outside
of Milwaukee County, I'll bet you the number is well,

(01:38:48):
probably about three percent know who Mandela or excuse me,
know who David Crowley is. Kel to Helen Roy is
at one percent, Missy Hughes two percent. Joel Brennan, How
embarrassing has it got to be for David Crowley that
you're only pulling at one percent better than Joel Brennan.
If there is an afterthought, no chance candidate more than

(01:39:13):
Joel Brennan, I would love Joel Brennan, the one heterosexual
white male who thinks he can actually win in a
Democrat primary in Wisconsin. Way to read the room, Joel Brennan,
David Crowley is pulling one point better than him. Francesca Hong, though,

(01:39:38):
has done I will give credit where credit is due,
And actually a big part of me really does like
Francesca Hong. I mean that, I mean that. I actually
it's a she has the same she has the same
basic I think, mischievous bleep talking ethan that I have.

(01:40:02):
And what was it? A very famous line from the
movie Gangs of New York. Me and the priest lived
by the same principles twas only faith divided us, says
the bad guy build the butcher, talking about Priest Valin.
If you haven't seen that movie, absolutely fantastic, one of
my favorite films. Daniel Day Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Liam Neeson

(01:40:24):
is Priest Vallin, Daniel Day Lewis gives one of the
best performances in film history as the villain build a Butcher.
I'm telling you, just watch it. He is absolutely tremendous.
I think Frannie Hang and me twas only faith divided us.
She is godless. She found herself on the cover of
Time magazine. For goodness sakes. The woman clearly knows about

(01:40:47):
self promotion. She is a socialist, she is a radical leftist.
But she has outworked everybody in this field by a
factor of about five. She is at every event, Her
social media is constantly up, constantly running, she is reacting
to literally everything. In fact, if this primary were held today,

(01:41:12):
I still think the party would rig it for Sarah
Rodriguez or David Crowley. I am no longer convinced that
Mandela Barnes is an inevitability. And yes, it's one pole. Actually,
this is the second pole that Francesca Hong has led in,
which is got to give the party an incredible amount

(01:41:33):
of indigestion because there is, my God, just a treasure
trove in the background of Franni Hong. For opposition research
people to get into No, I don't believe the party
is actually going to allow Franni Hong to be the nominee.
I would love it. Frankly, I still think Mandela is

(01:41:56):
tougher to beat. I just think women candidate probably have
a huge leg up. All right, we will get to
more reaction common up on the Dan O'Donnell Show to
President Trump's State of the Union address from the Republican
National Committee. Stay tuned, we'll be right back in just

(01:42:17):
a second, and welcome back to it. President Trump, pod,
I think gave a State of the Union address for
the ages. It certainly is very very well received. This
was probably my favorite line.

Speaker 3 (01:42:35):
From seventeen seventy six to today.

Speaker 2 (01:42:39):
Every generation of Americans and step forward to defend life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness.

Speaker 3 (01:42:46):
And they're really doing it for the next generation. But
now it's our turn. Together.

Speaker 2 (01:42:52):
We're building a nation where every child has the chance
to reach, hire and go further, where government answers to
the people, not the powerful, and where the interests of
hard working American citizens are always our first and ultimate concern.
That is the debt we owe to the heroes who
came before us, and that is the promise we must

(01:43:14):
keep to America for our two hundred and fiftieth year.

Speaker 1 (01:43:19):
Joining us now to talk about President Trump's State of
the Union address ahead of the two hundred and fiftieth
birthday of America. Danielle Albarez with the Republican National Committee. Danielle,
great to have you back on the program.

Speaker 9 (01:43:33):
Thank you so much for having me, especially on the
day after the President's incredible State of the Union before
both chambers of Congress and all of America's eyes on him.

Speaker 1 (01:43:45):
Yeah, it was certainly a fun speech. What was your
favorite part?

Speaker 9 (01:43:49):
There was a lot of parts of the speech that
I think we expected, right. We expected the President to
draw that contrast between four years of Democrat failure, policies
that had really torn our country apart, caused an affordability
crisis and inflation crisis and economic crisis. And I definitely

(01:44:12):
expected him to.

Speaker 11 (01:44:13):
Teut those wins of his first year, the.

Speaker 9 (01:44:17):
Working family's tax cuts, no tax on tipso tax on
social security, no tax on overtime. Of course, we expected
him to lay his plan out for the future. But
my favorite version of President Donald Trump is the storyteller.
When he brought in those gold medal Olympians into the chamber,

(01:44:39):
as he celebrated the World War Two veterans one hundredth birthday,
as he awarded medals to service members. Those were the
moments that I think gets everyone excited to be American,
to celebrate the.

Speaker 11 (01:44:54):
Birthday the tun and fiftieth birthday of the greatest nation
on Earth.

Speaker 9 (01:44:58):
Even Democrats were forced on their.

Speaker 1 (01:45:01):
Feet against their will. It almost seemla, Okay, we got
to stand for this, uh God, American patriotism. Do you
think one of the most lasting moments will be when
they refuse to stand for President Trump saying, Hey, if
you believe that the government exists for American citizens and
to protect them instead of illegal aliens, stand up.

Speaker 9 (01:45:24):
I think that that is going to be a defining
moment for these mid term elections. You know, the President
did something similar at last year's joint address. He said,
I know there's nothing that I can say to make
you stand, to make you applaud, to make you cheer
for any of these incredible accomplishments. And it's because they're

(01:45:45):
Trump's derangement syndrome. They are so deranged it gets in
the way of their common sense thinking. The President said, listen,
this is a moment when all of America is watching
it as a primetime moment. Let take a poll.

Speaker 11 (01:46:01):
Stand up if.

Speaker 9 (01:46:02):
You believe that we should be fighting for American citizens
over I legal aliens. Democrats could not stand. It was
a moment of truth and reflection for their progressive party.

Speaker 1 (01:46:17):
Yeah, it certainly was. Danielle Alvarez with the RNC joining me,
And as we head to those midterms, what ultimately do
you think is the big takeaway from this speech?

Speaker 9 (01:46:29):
Well, this was a springboard heading into those midterm elections.
The President recognized that, the White House recognized that, and
I think that the nation recognized that. Certainly, the Republican
National Committee is working in lockstep with this president. We
know that he is the secret weapon. The energy that
he brought last night, the American spirit and fight and

(01:46:52):
unity that he brought last night to a near two
hour speech. I mean, let's not just talk about the
contrast in leadership and policy. Let's talk about the contract
between President Donald Trump and the energy and excitement that
he brought to the room and President Joe Biden. Oh,
I mean the auto pen and I think that that

(01:47:12):
is the springboard as we head.

Speaker 11 (01:47:14):
To these midterm elections.

Speaker 9 (01:47:15):
You've heard the incredible White House Chief of Staff Suzie
will Stay that the President is now going to go
on the road and start delivering those messages directly to
the American people. And I think that it is his
presence and working alongside our great Republican candidates talking about

(01:47:36):
those wins directly that is going to be the difference
maker these midterms.

Speaker 1 (01:47:41):
Yeah, I think certainly Vice President jd Vance is going
to be in Wisconsin tomorrow. He's going to be visiting
Plover alongside Derek Van Orden, the great congressman here, and
obviously the big legislative priority I think that the President
outlined was clearly the same act. It's already pasted. The
how there are fifty co sponsors in the Senate, meaning

(01:48:03):
that Vice President jd Vance could be the fifty first
vote and break the tie. There just needs to be
some form of filibuster reform to make this happen. Where
does the RNC stand on that, Does the Save Act
have to pass and does there need to be some
change to the filibuster in the Senate to make that happen.

Speaker 9 (01:48:25):
Well, let's talk first about the Vice President jd Vance
going to Wisconsin. He is the financier of our Republican
National Committee, and he is working overtime to make sure
that our candidates have the war test necessary to compete
in these mids from elections. So I am thrilled that
he has headed to CD three with Congressman Van Orden.

(01:48:46):
You know, something incredible happened last night. The President talked
about a stop trading band. He took a great punch
at Nancy Pelosi Eve and Elizabeth Warren had to stand
on her feet and cheer. And Derek Van Orden has
supported banning members of Congress from stock trading individual stocks
to ensure that they're not using their position as a
public servant to get rich. So I am really excited

(01:49:09):
about that race. That's going to be a really important
seat that we have to hold. But pivoting quickly to
the Stave Act.

Speaker 11 (01:49:17):
You know, it is your Senator, Senator.

Speaker 9 (01:49:19):
Ron Johnson, who is helping lead the fight on this
front end in the US Senate. Of course, the Republican
National Committee is fighting alongside this President, alongside our elected
Republican leaders to get the Save Act pass.

Speaker 11 (01:49:36):
It's just common sense.

Speaker 9 (01:49:40):
American citizens should decide the outcome of American elections. It's
the cornerstone of our country. It's the cornerstone of our
democratic republic. It is so important. And by the way,
in New York City, where they are facing a blizzard,
zo Ron Mamdani has requested five four terms of identification

(01:50:01):
and proof of stealth and proof of citizenship to shovel.

Speaker 11 (01:50:06):
You know, you are telling me.

Speaker 9 (01:50:07):
That those individuals can't also provide ID and proof of
citizenship to vote in our elections. I call bs on that,
let's go ahead and get the Save Act pass.

Speaker 1 (01:50:16):
Yeah, And it's interesting you note the Congressional Stock Trading
Band that was actually authored by another great Wisconsin Congressman,
Brian Style, who is very proud to have the potshot
taken at Nancy Pelosi along with him getting shouted out, well,
not by name, but this is something that absolutely has
to happen in terms of the Congressional Stock Trading Band.

(01:50:39):
I know this is something that pulls very very well
in midterms because of Nancy Pelosi apparently being the single
greatest stock trader. Forget about Warren Buffett. She is the
single greatest investor that has ever lived this side of
Hillary Clinton. Trading cattle futures. Not only does that need
to pass, I think the Save Act is something that

(01:51:01):
absolutely has to pass. It's sort of one of those
things that, like the Congressional Stock Trading Band, when you
actually explain it to Americans, they say, oh, yeah, obviously,
you know, you should not only have to prove who
you are, you should have to prove that you're an
American citizen. And by the way, it's incredibly easy to do.

Speaker 9 (01:51:20):
It's absolutely easy to do. And of course shout it
as well to Congressman Style and another very important seat
that we will have to hold in Wisconsin to maintain
majorities in the House. I mean, just of critical importance.
But the President had laid out an important vision as
we head toward towards this upcoming year and as we

(01:51:41):
head towards these mid term elections. Of course, he has
asked Congress to pass the Great Healthcare Plan, making sure
that instead of giving money directly to big insurance companies,
that payments are going to the American people so they
can buy their own healthcare, so that they can lower costs,
so that we can ensure that there is transparency in

(01:52:03):
the healthcare market. You know, not far from you all
in Minnesota, we are seeing the way that waste fraud
and abuse in the Somali community is increasing the cost
of daycares, of healthcare. I mean, it's absolutely horrific. The
President also announcing last night that Vice President jd Vance
is going to take the helm of a fighting waste

(01:52:24):
fraud and abuse.

Speaker 11 (01:52:25):
We did that through DOJE in the federal government.

Speaker 9 (01:52:27):
Now we're going to go get it done in Democrat
run states and Democrat run cities like Minnesota.

Speaker 11 (01:52:33):
Like New York, and like California.

Speaker 1 (01:52:36):
She is Danielle Alvarez, a great member of the Republican
National Committee. Danielle, we always love having you on the program.
We'd love to have you back soon.

Speaker 11 (01:52:45):
Okay, thank you so much for having me anytime.

Speaker 1 (01:52:48):
Well, the pleasure is all mine. A Wisconsin women's hockey
star weighs in on the big controversy you know which
one I'm talking about, soon to be the top story
in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Hear about it here first
on the Dan O'Donnell Show. Tim Ussay is Hillary Knight

(01:53:09):
of the gold medal winning American women's hockey team, who
is a legend who played at the University of Wisconsin
what year twenty seven to twenty twelve. She won a
pair of NC DOUBLEA championships in two thousand and nine

(01:53:31):
and twenty eleven. And twenty eleven she was the NC
DOUBLEA Tournament MBP. She is the program's all time leader
in goals and points. Her one hundred and forty three
goals are the most by any women's or men's player
at the university. Why is she about to become one
of the biggest stories in Wisconsin because she just went

(01:53:55):
on ESPN Sports Center, like I'm talking fifteen minutes ago
and said that President Trump's joke about having to invite
the women's team as well as the men's team to
the White House was quote distasteful. But of course, while
the Journal Sentinel and the State Journal and the rest
of the media is going to just focus on that,

(01:54:16):
what she said has a little bit more nuanced.

Speaker 7 (01:54:19):
How would you describe your relationship with the men's hockey team.

Speaker 14 (01:54:23):
Yeah, I mean, I think there's a there's a genuine
level of support there in respect, and I think that's
being overshadowed by sort of.

Speaker 3 (01:54:32):
A quick lapse.

Speaker 14 (01:54:33):
And you know, I think the guys were in a
tough spot, so it's it's a shame that sort of
this storyline narrative has kind of blown up and overshadowing
kind of that connection and genuine interest in one another
and sharing one another on We've had phenomenal relationships in
the village and supporting one another on the world stage
and also the professional stages. And I look forward to

(01:54:53):
those friendships and you know, acquaintances sort of continuing in
great fashion. And yeah, I think this is just a
really good learning point to really focus on how we
talk about women, not only in sport but an industry.
Women aren't less than, and our achievements shouldn't be overshadowed
by anything else other than how great they are.

Speaker 1 (01:55:15):
You mean, they shouldn't be overshadowed by ridiculous anti Trump
craziness and that the men were. Actually, when President Trump
was joking about left wingers being insane if he didn't
invite the women to the State of the Union, it
wasn't about the women being less than. It was about

(01:55:35):
how left wingers would do exactly what left wingers did.
All right, we are out of time here on the
Dan o'donald Show back three six tomorrow. I have a
great night, Wisconsin,
