The Socialists are on the March

On Wednesday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," another socialist wins a Democrat congressional primary (this time in Colorado), putting the nation's focus on Wisconsin as perhaps the last bulwark against it. Plus, Dan tells the inspiring story of the Wisconsinite who fired the first shot at the Battle of Gettysburg on July 1, 1863.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Dan o'donald Show. We are now in July,
just days away from America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday,
but unfortunately it faces a grave threat from within socialism
is on the march. Another Democrat socialist candidate wins a
Democrat primary, unseating a fifteen term incumbent dem in Colorado's

(00:28):
first congressional district, far away from the so called commie
corridor of New York City. Does this portend of victory
in Wisconsin for Francesca Hong or her fellow DSA candidate
who appears to be on the outs with the far left,
Mandela Barnes, but is no less dangerous to this state

(00:48):
and this country. We will discuss here on the Dan
o'donalds Show. Welcome to yet another edition of conservative thought
and not just talk, as we have each and every day,
going back about a month or so, we are giving
away twenty five hundred dollars in our USA two p
fifty K giveaway. iHeartMedia is giving away two hundred and

(01:11):
fifty thousand dollars in one hundred increments of twenty five
hundred dollars. Your next chance to win coming up at
five o'clock. We have also got a continuation of our
special programming. We are going to tell the story of
one of the most important battles in American history and
the Wisconsinite who fired the very first shot on this

(01:35):
date so many years ago. It's an incredible story and
an incredible look at who we are as Wisconsinit's and
who we are as Americans. That's coming up in the
five o'clock hour. Of course, the Daily Trump Day. President
Trump is in North Dakota right now, actually, as he
is dedicating the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum. Can

(01:58):
we go live to Medora, North Dakota and talk to
the president. Here is the President of the United States,
Donald Trump.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
So I don't say that anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
It's very dangerous to say, but it is the highest award.
And they had a father son gett it. And that's
a tremendous tribute to a genetic pool. As we enter
the two hundred and fiftieth year, Americans must never forget
we are a historic and heroic people with a heroic
spirit and a heroic purpose.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
And in this world we are a very special group.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
American courage won our independence, It liberated millions and millions
from slavery, rescued billions from tyranny, and sustained American liberty
for two and a half centuries.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
And we're not going to lose it to this group
of losers. How can you imagine? Have you seen these.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
He Trump is talking about the socialists? How perfect? How
perfect timing is this?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
The press is just building them up. They're losers.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Okay, they're nasty people, but their losers will teach them.
We're going to teach him. They're not going to hurt
our country without courage.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
There is no America today.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
If you don't have courage, we wouldn't have America today,
wouldn't We wouldn't be close. Third, Theodore Roosevelt believed in
the America that really works and worked. He refused to
accept failure, mediocrity, corruption, decay, or decline, and neither should we.

(03:33):
That's why we can't take this nonsense that's going on
right now. We're not going to take him. The first
public cause he ever supported was a bill to fix
the streets.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
In New York City.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
He was very New York City and New York centric,
you know that, that's where we came from. It was
pretty rich family as the Civil Service Commissionery fought tooth
and nail to return federal hiring to a principal called
merit merit isn't that nice to hear? And by the way,

(04:11):
by the way, do you know a little while ago,
not in yesterday's decisions where we actually had a good
day except for birthright citizenship, which will work out some way,
But we had something called do you know what we're
talking about? We had something that gives back tremendous power

(04:32):
to the President of the United States, and we won that.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
I think, all right, President Trump is going into what's
known as the Slaughter decision. We outlined that on the
Dan O'Donnell show yesterday. It essentially reaffirms that the president
does have full control over the executive branch, that the
Federal Trade Commission can't just declare itself to be a
quasi independent body and have commissioners appointed by Democrats just

(04:58):
serve forever Democrats. As you could imagine, we're freaking out
about this decision because they're saying, well, it ends civil
service in this country and it goes back to a
political spoils system. Frankly, I would like to go back
to a political spoils system where we clean house every
four years, because what we have now is a permanent
class of unelected left wing bureaucrats. Just look at how

(05:22):
far to the left of the country Washington, d C.
And the surrounding suburbs, particularly in Maryland and Virginia are
in voting for Democrats. I mean, you've got the wealthiest
suburbs of Washington, d C. Some of the wealthiest places
in the entire country. All of these people getting rich
off of government service and incredibly lucrative pensions and government benefits.

(05:48):
They typically will vote Democrat to the tune of ninety percent.
So not exactly crying any crocodile tears for any Democrats
who might lose their job in a republic administration. All right,
you want to join the Dan o'donalds Show. We know

You've missed a ton. We cover a lot of ground,
and we cover it quickly. You want to download and
listen to the Dan o'donald Show podcast each and every day.

(06:31):
You can listen to me at twice the speed I
normally talk. I sound like a chipmunk or possibly Ben Shapiro,
one of the two all right, big, Big story Today,
it is not just New York City and the so
called Commie corridor that is electing actual commies. Last night,
mel At Kiros, a twenty nine year old Democrat, socialist,

(06:53):
lawyer and PhD student who has never run for anything before,
defeated a fifth teen term Democrat incumbent by the name
of Diana to Get in Colorado's first congressional district. This
is in the Denver area, so it is overwhelmingly likely
that Kiros is going to go to Congress as yet

(07:14):
another Democrat socialist. According to preliminary results, she won with
about forty nine percent of the vote. To Get got
forty four percent, and Kiro's campaign far to the left
of even a left wing progressive Democrat, criticizing her effectiveness
in Congress in standing up against the evil Trump administration.

(07:37):
What else Kiros has going for her is that she
was not born here. And this is something that is
a bit of a hallmark of the modern socialist movement.
It is spearheaded by people who were not born in
this country. Look at Zorn Mamdani, look at elan Omar,
look at the entire squads save for Alexandria Ocassio Cortes.

(08:00):
You have got people who are not born in this
country who have a bit of an abiding hatred for it,
want to take it over and want to reshape it
in their own image. That is not hyperbole. That is
actually what's happening. Kiros is from Ethiopia. My producer Eric says, yes,
they want to fundamentally transform America. Where have we heard

(08:22):
this before, Well with the grandfather of modern socialism, somebody
who actually was born in this country. Wink wink, Barack Obama,
pause for effect. Yes, I believe Obama was born in
Florida or Florida Hawaii. Where did they say was he
was born in Hawaii?

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Right?

Speaker 1 (08:40):
He definitely was not born in Nigeria or Kenya. That
was it. He was born in Kenya yet a Kenyan father.
What is beyond any debate is that Obama was very
clearly passing himself off as a Kenyan national in order
to get various scholarships, in order to get easier access

(09:02):
to American academia. Look when he was when he wrote
his first book about himself, way back in the late
nineteen nineties, he was passed off as the first black
Harvard Review editor, and it was he was a national
of Africa. That he is not from the United States.

(09:24):
Either he was lying then or he's been like, look,
I do believe he was actually born in Hawaii. All
of the evidence points to that. Yes, the quote unquote
long form birth certificate points to that. But what's beyond
a parent is he thought there was an advantage to
being born elsewhere, And lo and behold we find nearly
thirty years later, there absolutely is. Kiros born in Ethiopia

(09:47):
nineteen ninety seven, immigrated with her family to the United
States as an infant. About maybe a couple of months later,
her father was selected in the US Diversity Lisa lottery.
They settled in Denver, Colorado, and now, at age twenty nine,
she has decided that she, like Obama before her, wants

(10:11):
to fundamentally transform America. Now this is part and parcel
of an ascendant Democratic Socialist Party that also saw three
different members get elected to effectively get elected to Congress
and win Democratic Party nominations in New York, Clare Valdez

(10:31):
soundly soundly defeated the Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Renosa. In
the New York seventh District, Daria Liza Avila Chevalier narrowly
defeated the incumbent Representative Adriano espayat the chair of the
Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and Brad Lander defeated incumbent Democrat Rep.

(10:56):
Dan Goldman by about thirty points. Goldman in particular, was
all over you might have seen him if you turn
on MS NOW. So chances are you actually haven't seen him,
because nobody actually watches ms now. But he was constantly
on ms NOW, constantly on CNN, constantly in front of

(11:16):
any camera he could find, ripping on President Trump, being
a Hitler like figure, a terrorist, whatever. He could always
be counted on to say the most radically left wing things.
It still wasn't enough. He still lost to an avowed socialist.
DSA backed candidates also won multiple seats in the state

(11:38):
legislature out in New York. They added at least six
overall in New York City. The Democrat Socialists of America.
Remember this is the Zoran Mamdani Party, This is the
hub of Democrat socialism in the United States. They saw
twelve of their thirteen endorsed candidates win. This is the

(12:01):
largest block of socialist state legislators in the history of
New York. Now, even though the Democrats have been fighting
tooth and nail to keep these people from winning, they
are still there was heavy money being spent against them.
But what Democrats are running into is the fundamental reality
that their voters want socialists, their voters are socialists. In fact,

(12:26):
brand new polling Today Pew Research poll Out Today finds
thirty two percent of Democrats, a full one third say
they like politicians who identify as democratic socialists, just eleven
percent dislike them. Fifty six percent say they are just
waiting for orders from the party on who to vote for. Okay,

(12:47):
I made that part up. They said they don't have
any strong opinion, But what they actually mean is that
they're waiting for orders from the party as to who
to vote for. This is a devil stating problem, not
just for the Democrat Party but for the entire country,
because when socialists take over the Democratic Party, they are instantly,

(13:11):
instantly given about a fifty percent chance to win a
general election in places like New York. In places like
Colorado's first congressional district, it's about one hundred percent chance
of winning. But you take a state like Wisconsin, which
is in fall elections roughly fifty to fifty. If Francesco

(13:31):
Hong wins this primary, she has probably got even though
Democrats are terrified that she is going to tank an
eminently winnable election, she has probably got a better than
fifty percent chance of winning this election simply because she's
running on the Democrat ticket. This, however, isn't the reason

(13:52):
that Democrats are terrified of her. It's not just because
they think that she's going to blow an election against
Tom Tiffany that they believe they would otherwise win if
say Sarah Rodriguez or even Mandela Barnes was running. It's
something deeper than that. We will dive into that what
Democrats are really scared of with the rise of the socialists,

(14:14):
and particularly Francesco Han. That's coming up next here on
the Dan o'donald Show. Happy Early Birthday, America. Just three
days from America's two fiftieth we are planning a patriotic
edition of the Dan O'donald's show tomorrow. We are off Friday.

(14:35):
Don't blame me. I'm not going to another World Cup
match or anything like that. It is actually a company holiday.
That's when we all get off. Since the fourth of
July falls on a Saturday this year, we are observing
it on July third, so I will be off. Don't worry, though,
we will have some great panel discussions about the midway
point of twenty twenty six. We have also got some

(14:57):
great Fox News programming that will air throughout the day
on the third, and I believe also on the fourth
of July. So tomorrow we are probably going to be
doing just all patriotic stories, all tributes to America, pretty
much all day. I think, in fact, we are going

(15:17):
to be doing the two hundredth anniversary of one of
the most significant days in American history. July fourth, eighteen
twenty six, exactly fifty years after the Declaration of Independence,
which was actually pretty much signed on July second, we
celebrate the ratification date. In fact, no less a person

(15:38):
than Benjamin Franklin thought that we should actually be celebrating
July second, And in fact, he predicted that we would
be celebrating July second, seventeen seventy six with fireworks forever
and ever and ever. Well, he was two days off. Franklin,
of course, also advocated for the Turkey to be America's
national bird, so as brilliant as he was, didn't always

(16:01):
hit a home run, but he did call it. Fireworks
are the traditional way to celebrate the Fourth of July, unless,
of course, you are Milwaukee County, in which case it's
now a drone show because we're too broke for fireworks. Apparently,
no worries though President Trump is planning the single biggest

(16:22):
fireworks display in the history of mankind in Washington, d C.
I believe the latest number I heard was eight hundred
thousand fireworks are going to be lit off in the
nation's capital on the two hundred and fiftieth birthday. It
is going to be a heck of a time. And
of course, we still have local communities across Wisconsin that

(16:43):
are patriotic that will still be doing fireworks displays. I'll
be taking part in all of our traditional Fourth ju
I actually asked the family do you guys want to
go to Washington, d C. Do you want to potentially
go to the White House? You know, talk to the
people that I know in President Trump's administration and the
Communications Office, and you know what they said. They said, no,

(17:04):
we want to actually stay here with family and friends
and celebrate America like we always do in America's heartland.
I thought, you know what, kids, that's actually awesome. Now,
if you are watching the Dan O'Donnells show right now
on the Dano Camp, you will notice that I am
decked out in patriotic gear already. Because the United States
plays its first knockout round match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

(17:30):
Seems a little unfair that we have to play two
different teams at the exact same time, But we're America.
We'll probably still beat them. Six No, No, Bosnia Herzegovina
obviously is the Bosnian national team, and the United States
is heavily favored. But one thing we have seen in
these knockout stage matches is that no one is safe.

(17:51):
Germany goes down to defeat, the Netherlands goes down to defeat.
We already had a match today in England. They were
taking on not Senegal. Who are they playing, Oh, doctor Congo,
Dr Congo, not the Democratic Republic of Congo, not the Congo,

(18:12):
not Congo. We now have to refer to them as
Dr Congo. Again. No spoilers on this program. I can
tell you it was an excellent match. So if you're
looking to watch it after work, you are in for
a treat. I am not going to say anything more
about it was just it was an excellent match. My
sons and I were watching, having a lot of fun

(18:32):
before the show. But it is the big one today,
the United States against Bosnia Herzegovina. If you can see,
I'm going to put this up on the Dano camp.
I've actually got the scarf, the official USA Los Angeles
Patriotic Stars and Stripes scarf. When we were at the match,
as I hit the microphone, and everybody who's listening to us,

(18:55):
you know on the radio station, is saying, what the hell? Man,
Well watch the danocamp. If you're not subscribed to the
Dan o'donald's show social media feeds, please do so at
Dan o'donald show on Exfacebook dot com, slash Dan o'donald's
show as well. So socialists are on the mout march
across America. In fact, it is my very strong belief

(19:19):
that suddenly the Democratic primary here in Wisconsin on August
eleventh is going to be the most watched of the summer.
Can socialism actually take hold here in America's heartland? Now,
a lot of people who don't know the history of
Wisconsin and Milwaukee in particular, we'll say, well, there's no
chance that a socialist could ever get elected in a

(19:42):
place like Wisconsin. Milwaukee is actually the only city in
America that elected not one, not two, but three different
socialist mayors. What's rather ironic about that is they were
a lot better than the Democrats who have been in
control of Milwaukee for the past. Oh, I don't know,
one hundred and what are we at now? One hundred

(20:03):
and sixteen years, one hundred and eighteen years. Yeah, we
are at one hundred and eighteen years since we last
had a republic The last Republican mayor left office in
nineteen oh eight. It has been one hundred eighteen years
since Milwaukee had a reput We've had three socialists in
that time period, and we may have more. Here's what

(20:26):
democrats are actually terrified of if Francesco Hank wins. And
I believe right now, I see the betting markets, Polymarket
and Calshi and all of that nonsense saying, oh, it's
going to be Sarah Rodriguez, It's going to be Sarah Rodriguez.
You do realize this is based on nothing more than
the abiding belief by betters that Democrats are absolutely going

(20:47):
to rig their primary against Francesco honk and in favor
of Sarah Rodriguez. Rodriguez has no and I mean no momentum.
She has no real broad base of support. The only
candidate who has had any energy this campaign, the only
candidate who has actually captured the imaginations of the Democrat

(21:09):
voter base, is Franni Honng. Why is that, Well, as
the Pew Research poll that we outline for you in
the opening segment of today's show showed, it's because a
third of Democrats want Democratic Socialists i e. Communists to
represent them. This is where the party is and this

(21:30):
is what the rest of the party is so scared of.
It's not just that they think that Frannie Honng is
going to get herself nominated, They're going to be unable
to actually rig the primary against her. Because they're not
going to be able to get Kelda Royce to drop
out or David Crowley or any of the other votes
that might otherwise go to Sarah Rodriguez. What they want

(21:52):
is a three candidate race. They only want Franni Honng,
Mandela Barnes, and Sarah Rodriguez, so that Rodrigez is able
to win a plurality while Barnes and Hang effectively split
the left wing socialist vote. You can see this coming
a mile away, so much so that I have been
talking about this for about the last three months that

(22:13):
this is exactly what is going to happen. How do
I know because Democrats rigged their last statewide primary for
Senate in twenty twenty two, and Democrats have rigged the
last three presidential primaries. Twenty twenty four, they said, oh, yes,
we're going to have an open primary, but it's going
to be very quick and nan never mind, like three

(22:34):
hours later they all decided, Yeah, it's going to be
Kamala Harris, who just takes over for Joe Biden after
he dropped out. In twenty twenty they rigged it for
Joe Biden by basically bribing Pete Bootage and Amy Klobashar
and any other candidate who they could get out of
the race, and they left the two socialists, Bernie Sanders

(22:55):
and Elizabeth Warren in. They did not want Bernie Sanders
to win. In twenty sixteen, they did it essentially the
same thing for Hillary Clinton, using the super delegate process
to effectively rig the primary against Bernie Sanders or any
non Hillary candidate before the primary even began. They even
went so far as to rig the primary debates by

(23:18):
giving Hillary's campaign the questions ahead of time. You might
remember as a big scandal involving Donna Brazil. It actually
forced the resignation of then DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz
about a day or two before the Democratic National Convention
opened in the summer of twenty sixteen. This is just
what Democrats do, and now they're just as desperate as

(23:40):
they ever have been to rig this primary so they
don't fall victim to the socialist wave that is sweeping
through the party in states like Colorado and New York.
What Democrats are really terrified of is that Francesca Hong
doesn't necessarily lose the general election but wins it. Why

(24:03):
would that be paradoxically bad for every other Democrat, Because
what do you think would happen if a Democrat socialist
of America wins the governorship in what is considered to
be perhaps the ultimate swing state in this country. It
tells the voter base that the only way that we
can win is by nominating more and more and more

(24:25):
Democrat socialists. If I'm Mark Pokan, regardless of what happens
in twenty twenty six, I am already plotting my exit
from Congress in twenty twenty eight, he is going to
be challenged. He is going to be primaried by a
Democratic socialist, and in a left wing commie corridor like Madison, Wisconsin,
he will lose no matter how left wing he gets,

(24:48):
no matter how many unhinged things he posts on Twitter
in a given day, no matter how much he stalks
Republican Congressman Derek Van Ordon, It's never going to be enough.
They are always going to be him. If I'm Chevy
Johnson in the city of Milwaukee, if i am the
mayor of Milwaukee, Cavalier Johnson, I am terrified by the

(25:08):
possibility that a Democratic socialist challenges me. If I'm say
Ryan Clancy. Why not run for mayor, Why not galvanize
the support of an ascendant socialist movement. This is why,
by the way, Democrats are desperately trying to get him
out of the state legislature because they fear him what

(25:31):
he and his merry band of crazies can do to them.
David Crowley, why not State Senator Chris Larson fully embraces
I mean, he's seventy five percent of the way to
the Democratic Socialists of America anyway, just join their movement
and challenge Crowley. He would likely win because this is

(25:51):
where the party's base is right now. If I am
any Democrat who is running in any left wing area,
if I am a state legislature in Wahwatosa, if I'm
a state legislature in Madison or Milwaukee or anywhere else
where there is a significant number of socialists, I am terrified.

(26:15):
Democrats are only interested in self preservation at this point,
because the Democratic Socialists are not coming after Tom Tiffany.
They're not coming after Van Orden, They're not coming after Republicans.
They're coming after Democrats first. They have to take over
the Democratic Party. They have to convince enough voter is

(26:37):
that the only way that you can win general elections,
the only way that you're going to be able to
win primaries, the only way that you're going to be
able to have any sort of political power is to
cow tao to the socialist movement. It is coming in
like part in the Miley Cyrus analogy here, but like
a wrecking ball, and what it's wrecking is the last

(27:00):
vestiges of moderate politics in the Democrat Party. We used
to say that, well, the Democrats there are one step
from socialism. Now they actually are, in fact, they're knee
deep in socialism and they are very very close to
drowning in it. That's terrible for this country because all

(27:22):
you need is for the socialists to take over one
political party and then every election is by definition a
coin flip. Republicans are going to win or the Democrats
are going to win. And if the socialists have control
of the Democrat Party, well, that is uncomfortable proximity to

(27:42):
immense political power for the left. Think about it like this,
How comfortable would you feel on January twentieth, twenty twenty
nine and this country swearing in President AOC. Yeah, I
thought so. Coming up here on the dano' donald show.
A congressional candidate's staffer makes a series of truly bizarre

(28:08):
and truly terrifying threats of violence against Republicans right here
in Wisconsin. You won't want to miss this. It's coming
up next just three days shy of America's two hundred
fiftieth birthday, we are celebrating everything that makes this country
great here on the dano' donald's show. Coming up in

(28:30):
the five o'clock hour, we celebrate the anniversary, a little
known anniversary, but it is one of the most significant
in the history of this country, and it is actually
today about one hundred and sixty three years ago to
be precise, and Wisconsinite was actually at the very center

(28:51):
of it. A Wisconsinite was someone who fired the very
first shot of one of the pivotal battles in American history.
We will get into that story, plus give you a
chance to win twenty five hundred dollars in our USA
two p fifty k giveaway that is coming up in
the five o'clock hour here on the Dan O'Donnell show.
Right now. Truly disturbing stuff from a truly disturbing individual

(29:17):
by the name of Taha Della Ruel Teja Della Ruelle
is a biological male who identifies as a woman, a
transgender woman, and he or she is a volunteer campaign
staffer for the congressional campaign of Cruella Deville. Now I

(29:39):
made that up. It's Katrina Deaville, but his her ethos
that the whole thing is definitely modeled after the one
hundred and one Dalmatians. Villain. Katrina Daville is one of
the Democrat candidates who is challenging Tony Weed, the great
incumbent Republican congressman in the Green Bay era, and Katrina

(30:01):
Deville has said some truly bizarre, violent, adjacent stuff. There
is no adjacent here. Teyha Dela Ruel is actually calling
on activists to quote kill your local Republican.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
Here, and we're going to make this the modern position
from the Statospolis.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
And I need your host because we have one month
to do this.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
Let's do it.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Okay, you couldn't quite hear with that weird Soviet PoCA
in the background. Taha was actually sitting in front of
a chalkboard with the words kill your local Republican written
on it, and he she said, this is our motto,
We've only got one month to make this happen. I

(30:53):
don't know what happens in a month, is that when
he she has to go back to the mental health
facility that I sincerely hope they are going to be
recommitted to. I don't know, kill your local Republican. He
or she is also pledging a quote trans g had

(31:16):
in which transgender people like they them will rise up
against the oppressors the Mega Movement to make them I
E us I E. Anyone who doesn't think the same
way as Teha Dela Ruel live in perpetual fear. Again,

(31:37):
they are really not good at mixing the music, so
it's going to be difficult to hear, but you need
to hear what they them Zeser has to say and cheer.

Speaker 5 (31:48):
You're doing trans jihad and this is something everybody can
catch the heartache a little bit an here, because it's
about making the oppressor the biggest the animals that make
a mega For example, Ryan, so for decades everyone.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Else oh okay, he refers to him as Tee time
Taha here saying it's time for trans jihad that everyone
can get involved in because for decades, the Mega Movement
made everyone else feel anxious or afraid, and now it's
time that we're going to make them feel anxious. In

(32:21):
a friend, all the.

Speaker 5 (32:22):
Marginalized in house minorities, we've had to be the ones
that walked down the streets with anxiety, with fear. But no,
no more, no no, no, no, no, no no more, folks,
you're gonna do the reverse.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
We're gonna make itself that day.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
Will be the ones that to walk down the streets
and fear and anxiety and worry. And we're not gonna
make this like, oh, they've got to do this for
like a week or something.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
They really scared.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
Oh, this is their new reality and it's never gonna change.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Peaceful.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
So uh, that is sort of like a real life
buffalo ill from Silence of the Lambs right down to
the weird, creepy synth music playing. I sincerely hope that
this guy doesn't have a suit made of women's skin
that he's wearing around. But honestly, with messages like that,

(33:18):
it wouldn't shock me. Notice, however, if you will, like,
obviously this is a deeply deranged, very obviously dangerous person.
And I'm not going to get into all of the
statistics about just how dangerous a whole lot of transgender
biological males actually are. Because it is rather staggering, I

(33:41):
will just point out the fact that the oppressor oppressed
dichotomy that this person has set up. And remember this,
this is somebody who volunteers and is working that they're
apparently very active in the outa Gamy County Democratic Party.
Taha della Reale. What is the name, Taha della Ruel,

(34:05):
Tayha della Ruel. This is somebody who has weaseled their
way into their local Democratic Party and has weaseled their
way onto the campaign of a congressional candidate, not a
particularly serious congressional candidate, but a congressional candidate. Nonetheless, here's
the exact quote. For decades, everyone else, all of the

(34:26):
marginalized in house minorities, we've had to be the ones
that walk down the streets with anxiety, with fear. But
no more, no more, folks, no, no, no, no, no,
We're gonna do the reverse. We're gonna make it so
that they walk down the streets with fear, anxiety and worry.
And we're not going to make this like oh, they
got to do this for like a week or something
where they get really scared. No, this is their new reality.

(34:49):
In another post, Della Rouel called for quote left wing
death squads to quote smash maga. I can we get
the FBI? I know there are a lot of FBI
agents who listen to this show, Like, can we call

(35:09):
somebody We're not on in the Green Bay area. I
know we have a very big audience who listens on
the iHeartRadio app in the Green Bay area. But I'm
dead serious about this. This kind of goes beyond your
normal lovable left wing lunacy that we always highlight during
the unhinged liberal of the day, which we will get

(35:30):
to in just a second. This is genuinely scary stuff
and the fact that it always comes back to that
exact same neo Marxist dichotomy of the oppressors and the oppressed.
I say neo Marxist because it's steeped in classical Marxist theory.
It's classical copy, it's straight out of the Communist Manifesto.

(35:51):
But there is a racial there is a gender identity
twist to it, that the marginalized must necessarily be racial
minorities and must necessarily be gay people. Transgender people, and
the oppressors are inevitably the straight white Christian Republican males
who this person is now calling for to be eradicated

(36:15):
with left wing death squads. Other than that, seems like
a charming fellow. You're listening to the Dan o'donald show.
It is classical conservatism and contemporary style, and we'll be
right back to it in just a second, folks. All
of this stuff is tied together, the psychopaths on the
fringes of the American left that are getting steadily more mainstream,

(36:38):
to the rise of socialism. We've got a poll out
today thirty two percent of Democrats say, yeah, we totally
want to be represented by the communists. And you have
also got every poll that's been done over the past month,
and really every poll that's been done for the past
decade now showing that Democrats just don't particularly like this

(36:58):
country anymore. It is all tied together. It is all
steeped in the mainstreaming and the rapid rise and now
the the march to conquest of the Democratic Party of
the socialists, and it is coming to Wisconsin. And I
don't believe the Democratic Party here is quite prepared. We

(37:23):
are in pre Nazi Germany. Tough is dangerous because he's evil.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
America.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Time now to dame the unhinged liberal of the day.
Come on, who else could it be but Wisconsin Democrat
nut job Teja della Ruel, who posted a series of
videos on social media urging activist supporters to quote kill
your local Republican and promising a trans g hod against

(38:00):
mega Republicans. I sincerely hope the FBI is listening, Teha
del Rouel, your unhinged liberal of the day. Seriously, how
can you listen to those words from those great Americans
and not just absolutely have chills running up and down

(38:23):
your spine? And how incredible this country is. Welcome back
to the Dan O'Donnell Show. A tribute to America and
the wisconsinite who fired the very first shot in one
of the most significant battles that this country has ever fought,
one hundred and sixty three years ago today. It's an

(38:44):
incredible story and we will tell it coming up about
an hour from now. Your chance to win twenty five
hundred dollars USA two fifty k giveaway as well. I'm sorry,
did somebody seriously attack the Yannis mural overnight, nobody seriously
vandalize it with their own tag saying we will miss

(39:06):
you at what. No, that actually did happen. That the
poor mural maker, Mauricio something or other, the guy who
actually did the mural, was out this afternoon. I was
just looking at video of it. He had to fix
his own mural that's been up for what eight years now.

(39:26):
I still think it's a weird and bad idea to
keep that Yannis mural up. Yes, we love him, but
they painted over the Lebron mural in Cleveland, and I
don't think it was any less acrimonious a parting that
Yannis had with the Bucks. He was just a little
bit more polite about it, although all is sort of

(39:46):
coming out behind the scenes. Also, Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I think Jim Ozarski Ocharski, he is a very good
sports reporter. He is obviously incredibly well connected, and I
understand and how you cannot betray the confidence of sources.
But he put out this story after Yannis was traded

(40:08):
last week that told three or four years worth of
utter dysfunction about the Milwaukee Bucks. Why the hell was
this not being reported as it happened, honest to good.
Do you feel like, as not just a fan, but
as a consumer of sports and news in this state,

(40:31):
do you feel better served by Oh, well, now we
can tell this story about how Yannis really wanted out
and how Doc Rivers literally lost the team on the
day he was announced his introductory press conference where he
said I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy, where
Yannis and the rest of the Bucks are like, uh, dude,

(40:52):
We've got like the best record in the Eastern Conference
and we just won the NBA title two years ago.
What are you talking about? Wow? He then puts up
a ninety thousand dollars golf simulator. Ninety thousand, bro, get
a garment. They're like two thousand bucks. You can set
them up.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
Real.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Why was this stuff not being told? I think there's
a legitimate question about just how much the rest of
the mainstream media is not telling you. Do you have
any idea all of this stuff that I don't get told.
I don't get told anything about what our company is
doing because they're worried that I'm going to go on

(41:32):
the radio and blab about it. Probably a smart calculation
on their part, but no, I mean, I obviously, and
this is where I understand where Osharski Osarski, I apologize.
It's a very very polish name. And if I'm totally
batching it, Jim, I do apologize, but I understand where
he's coming from.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
That.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Okay, you know you can't say this because it would
have a what I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and I get
I get the Bucks are sort of notorious for threatening
access to the team. In fact, funny story, do you
know I was the one who broke the news of
the Sterling Brown taser incident when Sterling Brown got tased

(42:17):
by the cops. Yeah, do you realize I got called up?
There was a guy by the name of I think
it was Barry Baum was the head of media relations.
I believe that was some guy from New York. He
was tight with Lazar. I don't believe he's with the
team anymore, but I don't know. Called up, literally screaming

(42:37):
at me, scream how dare you report this? How dare
I said, what are you thinking? He said, you'll never
go to another Bucks game again. We're gonna pull your
press pass. Like dude, I don't have I haven't had
a Bucks press pass in probably ten years. Like what
I don't Oh my gosh, I might have to buy
a ticket to go see the Bucks. Oh no, So

(43:01):
I get they'll threaten your access to the team, your ability,
But to me, that is insanely uh. I don't know
it just it seemed like what I was being threatened
with was a still like dude, do you not know
I'm like a political guy. It's like, okay, you know,
so sorry, Sorry, I reported the truth about your player

(43:24):
who got arrested and tased. That is going to be
major national news within a couple of hours anyway. So
I understand that access would be threatened if you're reporting
all of these inner workings about the Bucks. And it's
a smaller organization, so it's probably super easy to tell
where the leaks are coming from. But come on, man,

(43:46):
for like three years, wouldn't you have liked to know
about just how dysfunctional the NBA team that. Oh, by
the way, taxpayers gave a whole lot of money to
to build the new stadium. Just one man's opinion. All right,
welcome back to the Dan O'Donnell Show. I just there's

(44:09):
just something about graffiti that just I understand. I actually
believe it or not, I like it as an art form.
I always get made fun of in my family and
amongst my friends because one of my favorite artists is
Boscueia Jean Michel Boscuiat. I think what he did to
to take that art to combine where America was, like

(44:33):
the grittiness of the nineteen eighties streets and that that
that era and kind of make it mainstream. I thought
that was awesome. I just I'm a big fan of
his work, but uh, it just there is nothing that
makes a city look crappier than graffiti everywhere. And when
you can't even protect your murals, what's next? Are they

(44:54):
gonna Are they gonna do a tag on the Bob
Yucker mural and say rip, Bob, we miss you, like
just to have some respect, Honest to goodness. This is
why Giuliani and Bill Bratton were so incredibly prescient when
they had acted the broken windows theory of policing, like
find out who did this, there's cameras all over the

(45:16):
place and punish them. Obviously that's not going to happen
because we're in a different era than we were in
Giuliani's New York and that's why Giuliani's New York turned
around so quickly and Cavalier Johnson's Milwaukee is sort of
going the other way. All right, it is time now
to take a look at what was going on today
in Washington, DC, or in this case, North Dakota. Time

(45:39):
for your daily Trump Day. I said, time for your
daily Trump Day.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
There, We're gonna win so much you may even get
tired of winning.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Trump just keeps winning. It is a win for the administration.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
It's also a big win for the United States. We
have to keep winning. We have to win more.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
We're gonna win more. I don't know, Eric, I pushed
the button, it didn't fire. I blamed the comedies. I
don't know. President Trump in North Dakota today for the
opening and dedication of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum,
and the President gave the gift of Teddy Roosevelt's Medal

(46:21):
of Honor to the museum. It had been at the
White House ever since tr left the White House.

Speaker 6 (46:28):
Thank you very much, Sir, was in the Roosevelt Room
for many, many years. And when I heard about this,
I said, maybe we'll think about it. Then I saw
what you did, and what a magnificent library you built.
It's really a library, it's a museum, it's a center,
and it's a great tribute. And I said, let's take
it from the Roosevelt Room, which.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Is a very important room in the White House. I
use it all the time.

Speaker 6 (46:52):
I'll be a little bit lonely in there without it,
but I thought this would be a very, really inappropriate
place to have it.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
And then it's very special.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
The President then gave a lengthy public speech in which
he tied Theodore Roosevelt's life and exploits to America itself.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Well, I want to thank everybody. This is an honor.

Speaker 6 (47:14):
We love you, and you've been so nice to meet
with those votes, we sent every record in the book.

Speaker 2 (47:20):
But today we come to the heartland of America to
pay tribute to a.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
Man who embodied the heart and soul and fight and
spirit of our country as much as anyone who ever lived.
And he's a very special man. And that's why I'm here,
President Theodore Roosevelt.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
And he loved your.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Community, he loved your state, and he was quite something.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
He was really quite something.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
Yes he was. And as the President said, Roosevelt showed
that American ambition is not a vice, but a virtue.
Believing that America can do the impossible is in fact
what allows us to do the impossiator.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
Roosevelt understood that the grand and righteous ambition is not
a vice, It is a American virtue. Having ambition is
a positive thing, he said, not a negative thing. And
it won us our country, and it's been among the
greatest forces for good.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
It's been the greatest thing.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
Our attitude and the attitude toward our country and making
our country gate by some people.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Not all presidents were like that.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
I don't want to get involved with talking about the
individual presidents. But we had some good we had few great,
We had a couple, but we had some good. But
we had some really bad ones, and they set us
back very very substantially, in particularly the last one.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
You know, we had a nation.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
An individual either rises or falls, bills or decays, lives
or dies by the yes and.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
The President also talked about the greatness of America itself
and how we're not going to lose it to this
current crop of communists who seem to be on the
rise but really will never ever ever take this country over.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
As we enter the two hundred and fiftieth year. Americans
must never forget. We are a historic and heroic people
with a heroic spirit and a heroic purpose, and in
this world, we are a very special group. American courage
won our independence. It liberated millions and millions from slavery,

(49:37):
rescued billions from tyranny, and sustained American.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Liberty for two and a half centuries. And we're not
going to lose it to this group of losers. How
can you, Marke? Have you seen these people? Have you?
Have you seen these people? The press is just building
them up. They're losers.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Okay, they're nasty people, but their losers will teach him.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
We're going to teach him. They're gonna going to hurt
our country.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
Without courage, there is no America today. If you don't
have courage, we wouldn't have America today.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
We wouldn't be close.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
No, we would not be close. That, ladies and gentlemen,
is your daily Trump date. And what the President is
talking about is sort of I think the theme that's
sort of developing, not just a head of the midterm
elections or over the summer, as we build up to
America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday. But really, where we
are as Americans right now, that there really is a

(50:38):
pretty substantial group of people in this country who do
not like it whatsoever. They gravitate towards this neo socialist movement.
I don't believe it's a coincidence at all that this
movement is being led by people who were not born
in this country. Zoron Mamdani was born in Uganda. The
woman who just won the congressional primary in Colorado last night,

(51:02):
she was born in Ethiopia. You have got Elan O'Maher,
another communist in Minnesota. She was born in Somalia. What
you are seeing is the rapid rise of third Worldism,
which is a grievance based Marxism that steeped in national origin.

(51:25):
It is steeped in race, it is steeped in gender ideology,
it is steeped in the language of woke. But ultimately,
what it is is the revelation that what the Democratic
Party or what the forces within the Democratic Party. And
I think what we're seeing now is that the mainstream
Democratic Party is sort of powerless to stop it. I mean,

(51:47):
Chuck Schumer sounded like a different human being just ten
years ago when talking about illegal immigration. Do you think
it's coincidence now that Chuck has to talk like a
woke generation z COMMI lest he loses his seat to AOC.

(52:08):
You better believe the one human being on earth who
is praying the hardest that AOC does in fact run
for the presidency in twenty twenty eight is Chuck Schumer,
because her next path, her likeliest path, would be to
challenge him, to primary him. This is what's going on
all across America, and it's being led by people who

(52:30):
really don't have a whole lot of tie to America.
They were let in the door. The woman who just
won the primary in Colorado, her father won a diversity
lottery to get a visa. I can think of no
worse reason to allow people into this country to be
given visas than diversity. We just need a few more

(52:52):
Ethiopians in this country. Why, why, what possible reason we
don't have enough Ethiopians. What is the proper level of
Ethiopians that should be in this country. I have nothing
against Ethiopians. They seem like incredibly good marathon runners. I'd
like to dominate Olympic marathons for the next couple of generations,

(53:12):
but just for diversity's sake, we're going to allow random
people in this country. It took a grand total of
one generation from the father to the daughter to espouse
an ideology in communism. And that's what the Democrats Socialists
of America are. They are outright communists. Don't believe me.

(53:32):
Listen to the president of the Democratic Socialists of America.
He said, yeah, the end goal is communism. The end
goal is not oh, we're going to have better public
transportation and health care for everybody and free daycare for
every that's not the end goal. The end goal is
the seizure of the means of production. It is the
toppling of the capitalist system. It is the toppling of

(53:56):
the cultural system of the United States and the replacement
of it with third world branded socialism. This, I think,
is the third World striking back against the First World
because they are the oppressors. Remember, the original sin is

(54:17):
not even slavery. The original sin is colonialism. The original
sin is this idea that the Spanish and the French
and the English would go across the world and seek
to expand their territories through conquest. And that's all this was.
I mean, when you think about the age of exploration

(54:38):
following first contact the fifteen hundreds through the founding of
this country, all it was was wars for territory that
native peoples were fighting amongst themselves for generations, thousands of
years before first contact, before the first appearance of the
first World. I don't think there is any question that

(55:00):
colonialism was beneficial to the entire world. It brought modern technology.
It allowed the rest of the world to essentially catch
up to the most technologically and civilizationally evolved places on
Earth that all happened to be in Europe. But they
don't see it like that. The Third World philosophy says

(55:23):
that colonialism was the ultimate evil and the only proper
response to that is to strike back by taking over
the colonialists, by taking over the oppressors, by making them
the oppressed. And make no mistake, folks, the ultimate goal
of this is the subjugation of people who are seen

(55:45):
as oppressors. And because this is all race, this is
all sexuality, this is all nationality based. It is white,
native born, heterosexual presumed to be Christian and Republican Americans
who are seen as the enemy of this movement, and

(56:08):
Democrats I'm talking to you too.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
Here.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
You may think that this is just the racist, xenophobic
ramblings of a paranoid right winger. They're coming for you first.
If you think Mark Pocan you're safe, You're down enough
with the struggle, You're insane. Robin Weining, They're coming for you.

(56:32):
Timu ben Wickler, chairman of the Democrat Party, Devin Remicker,
they are coming for you first. They are absolutely going
to take you down. They are going to put you
out on your ass, and you will have no political
power whatsoever. It's it's coming quickly, and they see this

(56:54):
as a speed run towards achieving ultimate power. Here in
the United States, it's actually shockingly easy. We don't have
a parliamentary system where there are like fifteen different parties
and you might need to form a coalition government. There
are socialist parties and have been across Europe for generations.
We have a two party system. You take control of

(57:16):
one of those parties and even though for the first
couple of elections you might get your butts handed to
you because the American people aren't ready for socialism, guess
what all it takes is another democratic president to open
the floodgates to the Third World. Notice, by the way,
I want you to remember. I want you to remember something.

(57:36):
What was the one group of migrants that Democrats had
a major problem with when President Trump let them in,
White South Africans known as Afrikaaners. They were being potentially victimized.
And this is a real thing. You want to see
how this works in practice. The retribution for decades of

(57:58):
apartheid in South Africa has not exactly been going swimmingly
because you have had the systematic murder of white farmers
and the seizure of white farmlands by the ruling Black Party.
On the basis of this idea that we are seizing back,
we are getting retribution for apartheid. It is dangerous and

(58:22):
it is deadly. In fact, the ruling party has a
charming song called kill the Boer, the Boer not like
the pig Boer as in white South African. Now we're told,
just like Death to America that the Iranians have chanted
for nearly fifty years. Oh, it's just a charming little

(58:44):
thing that they sing. No, it is to be taken literally.
We see this as our opportunity to gain retribution for
all of the wrongs that the white colonialists have imposed
on us. This is about the most dangerous form of
politics that you get. And all it takes is another

(59:07):
Democrat to open up the floodgates and it's not going
to matter. Oh oh oh, but it's racist. You can't
say great replacement theory. It's sorry. They were open about
this for twenty five years. Demographics is destiny. That was
the mantra of the Democrat Party. They have been obsessed
with this idea of Texas turning blue. Not because their

(59:29):
ideas are going to win. They're going to spread Bohemian
liberalism from Austin all across the state. No, it's through
illegal immigration. They will get as many illegals into this
country thanks to what was just upheld yesterday birthright citizenship.
The children of those illegals are citizens, get to vote,

(59:49):
and the thinking is that they are going to be
far more open to third world socialism that is currently
in vogue in the Democrat Party. All right, wants a
more proof that this is the end goal. When we
try to enforce our borders, when we try to deport
people who are dangerous criminals here illegally, what do Democrats do?

(01:00:15):
They line up to oppose enforcement of immigration laws. We're
seeing it happen right now in Milwaukee, the City of Milwaukee,
the Ice. We get into the very very pitched battle
that is going on right now. Stay tuned, you're not

(01:00:35):
gonna want to miss this. It's coming up next here
on the Dan O'Donnells Show. Folks. All of this stuff
is connected, literally, all of it is connected. Birthright citizenship,
the polls that show far fewer Democrats love this country
than ever before. Do you think it's a coincidence that

(01:00:58):
extreme love for America are pride in being American has
dropped among Democrats as the percentage of native born Americans
who vote Democrat has dropped precipitously. No, of course not.
Why are only twenty nine percent of Democrats proud to
be American? Because maybe twenty nine percent of Democrats were

(01:01:22):
actually born in this country. That is the sad reality
here when we talk about the actual threats to the Republic,
immigration by people who don't particularly care about our traditions,
our values, our culture, or think that any of those

(01:01:43):
things are worth upholding, but rather want to replace them
with their own little fiefdoms. Look what America is viewed
at by a whole lot of people who come into
this country is an economic opportunity zone. They want to
exploit the incredible economy that we have here and eventually
try to gain power, try to take over this country

(01:02:06):
and replace everything that allows for that incredible economy with
the vision of government that they are more accustomed to,
an authoritarian version of socialism. How many left wing, military
backed socialist governments have come out of Central and South
America over the last century, more than I can name.

(01:02:29):
How many strong men have ruled Africa with vaguely left
wing platitudes that propel them into power. How about the
Muslim world. You see a theocracy there, but it is
all based on bizarrely enough, left wing socialist ideas, even

(01:02:49):
though it is all, of course rather obvious religious dominance.
Which brings us to Milwaukee when we have a president
who actually closes the border, who actually says, you know what,
it's time for people who come into this country illegally,
break our laws, commit heinous acts against American citizens or

(01:03:14):
and this is critical, other illegal immigrants, because what we
know about crime is it is almost always intra group.
It's almost always intra racial. If you have, say a
white perpetrator. Almost invariably, the victim is going to be white.
That has nothing to do with segregation in this country.
It's because the most common victims of crime are people

(01:03:37):
who are very close to the perpetrators of crime, domestic
issues and so forth. Whenever we have somebody who attempts
to enforce immigration law, they are what public enemy number one?
They are? Oh my god, Hitler and ICE, those are
his brown shirts. In Milwaukee, ICE arrested thirty nine illegal

(01:04:02):
aliens over the weekend. Most of these arrests were around
the Milwaukee area, and activists are absolutely losing their you
know what because the long rumored ICE raids are finally here.
You know what. It also revealed these idiots are absolutely
powerless to stop federal enforcement of immigration law. So what

(01:04:28):
is Milwaukee attempting to do. They're trying to enforce the
ICE out MK ordinances that they put up and trying
to force ICE agents to wear masks. Well, guess what
ICE has just said, Yeah, no, we are not actually

(01:04:51):
going to abide by your stupid no mask policy. Now,
why would you need why would you need if your
ICE Let's think about this logically, why do you actually
feel the need if you're an ICE agent to cover
your face. Is it because you're committing unspeakable atrocities against poor,

(01:05:12):
innocent immigrants. No, it's because nut jobs like the ones
who were committing all manner of crimes in obstructing federal
law enforcement in Minneapolis will attempt to dox you and
will make your life a living hell. In a statement
posted yesterday, Lauren Biss, a Department of Homeland Security spokeswomen,

(01:05:38):
said ICE will not, under any circumstances, abide by any
local rules that the city of Milwaukee puts out prohibiting
masks sanctuary politicians. She said, attempting to ban our federal
law enforcement from wearing masks is despicable and a flagrant
attempt to endanger our officers. Good for you. Under no

(01:06:04):
circumstance are federal law enforcement officers bound by such a
ridiculous and rather obviously unconstitutional ordinance. How exactly is this unconstitutional?
Let me count the ways, ladies and gentlemen. First of all,
it's a flagrant violation of the supremacy Clause of the

(01:06:26):
United States if the federal government determines because of all
of the agit prop that's going on against ICE agents,
that is riling up the nut jobs to potentially attack
ICE agents. If the federal government determines that it is,

(01:06:46):
as a matter of federal policy, safer or necessary for
ICE agents to protect their identities, the supremacy clause kicks in.
If there is an official federal policy anything that the
municipal ordinance does that directly contradicts that is actually violative

(01:07:08):
of the supremacy claus. Supremacy clause simply says that federal
law is the supreme law of the Latin Constitution technically,
but federal law that flows from the Constitution always Trump's
state law and of course Trump's municipal ordinance. So if
the federal government says, all right, we are going to
wear masks because ICE agents need to do their job

(01:07:31):
and we can't have a situation in which they're being
docks and they're being targeted, a municipal ordinance can't impede
them from doing so. It's a violation of the supremacy clause.
Not only that it is almost certainly obstructive in nature,
because it is designed to make it more difficult for
those ICE agents to be able to do their jobs

(01:07:52):
free from the possibility of harassment. The whole point of
forcing ICE agents to be identified is so that they
can be docksed, so that they can be messed with.
And do you know what the most hilarious thing, not hilarious,
but darkly hilarious, sadly hilarious thing is do you realize

(01:08:13):
that more than any other law enforcement agency, black and
Hispanic law enforcement officers work for ICE. There is a
stunningly high percentage of black and Latino ICE agents. Good
to know that the race obsessed commies in Milwaukee are
looking to put them into a whole lot of danger

(01:08:33):
and not protect them. And it's that supposedly racist right
winger Dan O'Donnell who is standing up for their safety
and standing up for law and order. You're listening to
the Dan o'donalds Show. We will be back in just
a couple of minutes. Stay tuned. Here's a serious question.
Why is it that leftists don't want illegal alien criminals

(01:08:57):
being deported from this country? The thirty nine people who
are deported from the Milwaukee area over the weekend that
the activist class is now going crazy over. These were
domestic abusers, people tried, charged convicted of sexual assault, drunk drivers,

(01:09:17):
people who are suspected of drug dealing, gang activity. These
are the worst of the worst, but yet we're going
to rally around them. We're going to pretend that these
are modern day freedom fighters who are are every bit
as worthy of the American dream and a place in
American society as everyone. It's another example of the utterly

(01:09:42):
flawed third worldist thinking that we have succumbed to on
the American left. And I know there are a lot
of Democrats that actually listen to this show. You may
not like me very much, but I think on this
you have to admit that you're probably close to me
than you are to the radical socialists within your own party.

(01:10:05):
Think about it this way. Think about it. I want
you to think about it in this way. If let's say,
you can trace your legacy all the way back to
the Mayflower. In fact, very very dear family friend can
actually trace his family back to I believe it was
the youngest passenger on the Mayflower. There was a little

(01:10:28):
girl who it's dispute I forget what was Elizabeth something
I think, and she is believed to have been the
very first person to set foot on American soil From
the Mayflower. He can actually trace his entire lineage back
to her. The little girl. How you might be wondering,
how did she get to be the first one on

(01:10:50):
land over, say the governor William Bradford. Well, she was
so excited that she actually hopped out of the boat
early and hopped into when she saw that she could
her feet would be able to touch, and you know,
she wouldn't drown in her big dress. The story was,
I believe this was in Bradford's diary. She actually jumped
off the boat and like ran ashore before the men

(01:11:12):
actually could. And they got a big laugh out of that.
This guy, if you trace your lineage back to the Mayflower,
you are an invader. You are a colonist who is unworthy.
You are an other in America. But the Japanese or

(01:11:33):
Chinese baby who was just born by a woman who
was specifically here by a birth tourism company in order
to give birth, that is the most American person in
the entire world. As the kids say, make that make sense.

(01:11:54):
How is it that the left views people who just
got to this country legally, by the way, maybe had
a couple of kids. As we established yesterday, the birthright
citizenship decision was completely and totally wrong, because there is
no plane language of the Fourteenth Amendment's citizenship clause. If

(01:12:18):
you look to legislative intent, if you look to the
obvious intent of the people who crafted that amendment, you
would see, look, we clearly say, no, this is not
for the children of foreigners. This is for the children
of freed slaves. It should have been apparent, by virtue
of the fact that native tribes were not included, that

(01:12:40):
if you were a Native American, if you were a
member of a sovereign Indian tribe, and you were born
in post Fourteenth Amendment America, you were not a citizen.
Because you owed allegiance, you were not subject to the
jurisdiction of the United States government. You were subject to
the jurisdiction of your tribal government. The idea here is

(01:13:03):
that the people who are coming into this country illegally
still have jurisdiction, that their home countries still have jurisdiction
over them, because they are citizens of those other countries.
The idea that if you just come here and you're
here for five minutes, you have no tie to the

(01:13:23):
United States, but you cross the Rio Grande, you come
here and you give birth to a child with no
other tie, that automatically that child is a citizen of
the United States. Try doing that one in China. See
how far you get with it. Can I have dual
Chinese and US citizenship? If my wife and I if

(01:13:48):
when we were pregnant with say our last one, was
that twelve years ago, she's twelve years old. We concealed
the pregnancy, chilled out in China for a while, had
our daughter, and said, okay, she's a citizen of China
now as well as a citizen of the United said,
no other nation on earth would think, Yeah, that's a

(01:14:09):
good idea. That's a great way to do citizenship. Who
are the people who are defending that. Who are the
people who say, yes, yes, yes. We want the children
of people who have no other type, no cultural tie,
no tie of common language with the dominant culture, no
tie of culture itself, no traditions that they share with

(01:14:32):
the dominant culture. We want them to be a permanent
part of American society just because. And the people who
actually can trace their family line all the way back
hundreds of years, maybe to the Revolution or even to
the settlers on the Mayflower, they're not actual they are colonialists.

(01:14:52):
They have no right to America because America actually belongs
to the Native Americans folks. All of this, it is
all tied to the same basic sort of omni cause,
and that is this misguided belief that we must perpetually
stand up for regardless of what those people do or

(01:15:14):
who those people are individually, by virtue of our as
socialist leftist radicals, belief that they are in some sort
of oppressed class, regardless of what oppressed class it might be.
By virtue of their race, by virtue of their religion,
by virtue of their gender or sexual identity, we determine
them to be an oppressed class. Ergo, we must give

(01:15:36):
them every benefit of every doubt and every benefit of
American government large at the expense of the people who
we believe to be oppressed or as again, by virtue
of nothing more than their race, their religion, their identity
as American citizens, they're the presumption that they must be

(01:15:57):
maga Republicans. When you get in that mindset where everything
is seen through this haves and have not a bourgeoisie
proletariat dichotomy, that is when reason and that is when
logic just completely falls apart. And that is also when
you have people who exploit those who just naively think, yes,

(01:16:19):
I want to stand up for the oppressed. That's where
they come in and are able to seize power. All right,
we are going to step aside for a break. When
we come back. The incredible story of a Wisconsinite who
fired the first shot at one of the pivotal battles
in American history. That's next. Welcome back to the Dan

Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
As we celebrate America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday, we
are spending a lot of time looking back at great
moments in American history, focusing in particular on Wisconsin and
how our state fits into this grand American experiment. Did
you know that, quite possibly the most important battle in

(01:19:34):
the history of this country was fought today July first,
over three days July first through the third of eighteen
sixty three. And did you know that it was a
Wisconsin night who fired the very first shot? Ladies and gentlemen,
this is an audio essay celebrating America's two hundred and

(01:19:57):
fiftieth birthday. We call con in Liberty. Dawn breaks on
a warm July morning. A young soldier squints in the
sunlight as he sees a cloud of dust rising from

(01:20:19):
the road ahead. The Confederates are marching towards him. Beads
have sweat dripped from his brow. As he grabs his
corporal's rifle and steadies it against a fence, he steals
his nerves. He takes a breath and squeezes the trigger.
The Battle of Gettysburg has begun. The Union Army had

(01:20:40):
been desperate to stop General Robert E. Lee's advanced northward.
Just months after President Lincoln's Imantimpation Proclamation freed all slaves
in the Confederacy, it seemed as though the dream of
freedom was all but dead there. If Lee advanced any
further than Pennsylvania, he might force a Union in surrender. And,

(01:21:01):
as Lincoln had predicted years earlier, the House divided against
itself over the question of slavery, would not stand. Gettysburg
would be the Union Army's last stand. The fighting raged
for hours, as the air grew thick with cannon and
rifle smoke, and the anguish cries of the dying echoed

(01:21:21):
through the battlefield. The hours became days, when the smoke
cleared and the cries faded. After the three day battle,
a third of the soldiers who fought in it were dead, injured, captured,
or missing. It was the deadliest battle America had ever fought,
made even more heartbreaking because it fought against itself. Freedom, however,

(01:21:45):
always has a heavy cost. The Confederate army was turned
back and retreated south with the Union in hot pursuit.
Gettysburg was the turning point in America's Civil War, and
the Confederacy surrendered less than two years later. The world
made little note nor long remember the young soldier who

(01:22:05):
fired that first shot, Marcellus Jones. But he was the
perfect man, the perfect American to begin his nation's final
march toward freedom for all. Why because he was an
ordinary man who dedicated his life to the cause of liberty.
He wasn't of noble birth, he didn't even have much education,

(01:22:28):
but he was a hard worker, and as a boy
helped his father build wagons. He discovered a talent for
building things and made his way to Wyowego, Wisconsin to
start a door making business. Marcellus might not have had
much formal schooling, but he was a superb businessman and
his company flourished. But in eighteen fifty eight, his wife

(01:22:51):
died in childbirth and his factory burned to the ground.
He was devastated, but he wasn't defeated. He moved to
Illinois and started a contracting and carpentry business. When Southern
States began seceding from the Union in eighteen sixty, though
Marcellus knew that war was inevitable, he joined the eight

(01:23:12):
Regiments Illinois Volunteer Cavalry, which was recruited at Abraham Lincoln's
personal request. Marcellus knew the stakes, he knew what he
was giving off, but he also knew that America and
its promise of freedom for millions of slaves, was worth
fighting for and worth dying for. There have been throughout

(01:23:33):
American history millions of Marcellus Jones's ordinary men and women
with an extraordinary willingness to bleed for the cause of freedom.
It is a hallmark of a nation so dedicated and
so consecrated, and so always willing to live up to
its founding ideals, that it breeds generation after generation whose

(01:23:56):
solemn duty is to uphold those ideals, no matter are
the cost. We are all one people with one common purpose,
and while we are and never have been perfect, nor
claim to be, we are always at the ready to
right our society's wrongs. Abraham Lincoln may have freed the slaves,
but hundreds of thousands of Marcellus Joneses fought for them,

(01:24:21):
and hundreds of thousands died for them. Throughout our history,
it was the Marcellus Joneses among us who have reaped
the benefits of America's meritocracy and free markets to create
for themselves a better life than they might have otherwise dreamed.
But when the nation calls them to lay that life
aside to preserve freedom and self governance, they willingly and

(01:24:43):
lovingly do so, and always has. We are, as Americans,
as Wisconsinites, as the descendants of Marcellus Jones, revolutionary in
our kindness, our compassion, and our commitment to our founding principles.
We are all one people with one purpose and well.
We are and have always been, the people who stand

(01:25:06):
up for what's right. We have been in our nation
the ones who prove the rightness and the goodness of
our society, and throughout our history we have fought for
that society, We have bled for it, and we have
died for it because of the heroics of Marcellus Jones
and the men who fought and bled and died at Gettysburg.

(01:25:30):
President Lincoln said months later, what is perhaps the truest,
most eloquent thing ever said about this great nation. Four
score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on
this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated
to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now

(01:25:51):
we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether
that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated,
can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield
of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion
of that field as a final resting place for those
who here gave their lives that that nation might live.

(01:26:14):
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this,
But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, We cannot consecrate,
We cannot hilow this ground. The brave men, living and dead,
who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor
power to add or detract. The world will little note

(01:26:35):
nor long remember what we say here, but it can
never forget what they did here. It is for us,
the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have thus far so
nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from

(01:26:58):
these honor dead we take increased devotion to that cause
for which they take the last full measure of devotion.
That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain, that this nation under God shall
have a new birth of freedom, and that government of
the people, by the people, for the people shall not

(01:27:23):
perish from the earth. Little known fact about the Battle
of Gettysburg which started today, what would that be one
hundred and sixty three years ago? That is incredible, one
hundred and sixty three years ago today the Battle of

(01:27:44):
Gettysburg was fought. And yes, I know we celebrate America's
two fiftieth. Then don't worry, folks, we are going to
get into a whole lot from the American Revolution tomorrow.
I am so looking forward to tomorrow show. We will
of course get you all of the news of the day,
anything that's going on. As I said, July third is

(01:28:05):
the day our company marks the July fourth holiday because
it's on a Saturday, so we have off folks on it.
I'm not even kidding you. I would want to be
on on Friday, July third, to just do stories about
America's past. Take your phone calls, and we are going
to do that. By the way, tomorrow, we are just
going to take your reflections on America's two fiftieth, where

(01:28:26):
we are, where we have been. I am going to
do an audio essay I've been doing for boy a
lot of these folks. If if you've been listening to
the program a long time, you've probably heard these before.
We did these as perhaps episodes of forgotten history. I
have been giving speeches like this for a long long time.

(01:28:47):
I believe this one I call conceived in liberty. I've
been doing for at least five years or so. I'm
bringing them back. It's what Rush Limblaugh called the grooveyard
of forgotten favorites, because this is the time where the
heroism of people like Marcellus Jones, the Wisconsin I and yes,
I know he wasn't originally from Wisconsin. We're claiming him,

(01:29:09):
all right. We are claiming him because he started a
business in Wyawega door making business actually, and he was
the one who actually fired the first shot. That is
backed up, by the way, by the historical record. There
were several witnesses that as the Confederates approached, I mean
the battle was inevitable. The Union army was sort of

(01:29:31):
camped out just they said, okay, this is going to
be the spot where we turned those revs back. And
sure enough they did. And as they approached, it was
Marcellus Jones who fired the first shot. By the way,
the script I was working from that is up at
Heartlandpost dot com. It is called Conceived in Liberty, the

(01:29:52):
Story of Marcellus Jones, and one hundred and sixty three
years ago today, the opening shot of the March towards
Freedom for all this was this and this was this
was it, folks, I mean this was we talk about,
you know, America always having to atone for the evils
of slavery. Well, this was the battle where the Union

(01:30:16):
army turned back the Confederates and we finally started that
that long march towards preserving the ideals of our nation
and giving this nation, as Lincoln called it in the
gettys Perg Address, a new birth of freedom, because that's
what it was. And I think the perfect person to
talk to about this is great friend of this show,

(01:30:37):
candidate for Lieutenant Governor Will Martin, our guest here on
the Dan o'donald Show. Sir, Happy fourth of July, couple
of days early. Welcome to the program.

Speaker 4 (01:30:48):
Hey, thank you so much for having me back. We've
been on the road just roaring since we got the
endorsement at the state convention with seventy three percent of
the vote. Never happened in the history of the party before,
never had a lieutenant governor who's actually gotten the endorsement
and contested race. We did that and got the second
highest percentage any candidate has ever gotten for any office

(01:31:10):
in the Republican Party, second only to Scott Walker. Really,
I actually I did not know you're here.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):
That's fantastic. Hey, congratulations, that's actually a very very cool thing.
As you reflect sort of on America's two hundred and
fiftieth birthday, Will I think you sort of have a
unique position here. We did the opening segment of the show.
It was all about Marcellus Jones, the guy who fired

(01:31:39):
the very first shot at the Battle of Gettysburg, and
how Gettysburg really started America's final march toward finally living
up to its ideals by finally ending the Civil War
and finally freeing all Americans. As a black American, what
does that at and this nation generally as it celebrates

(01:32:03):
its two hundred and fiftieth birthday mean to you?

Speaker 4 (01:32:07):
Well, you know, I don't know if you know, Dan,
but I actually was born on Juneteenth Day.

Speaker 1 (01:32:12):
No, I didn't know that.

Speaker 4 (01:32:13):
Yeah, So so here's the connection, you know, if we
want to bring it back to Wisconsin lights and how
I did. I was born on June teenth. June tenth
is the last time that enslaved people heard the Emancipation
Proclamation and General Order three to find out that they
were at last free happened in Galaston, Texas. And this
is the connection to Wisconsin. Not only did we have

(01:32:37):
Wisconsinites who were there at Appomattox, both white and black
troops that had made it from Wisconsin, but then some
of the black troops continued on to Galveston and they
were there two years later when the Emancipation Proclamation was
read out loud to those last enslaved people. For me,

(01:32:58):
it is that connection of Wisconsin. And I wrote a
little piece on the fact of you know, the Wisconsin,
the Republican Party, and Juneteenth are intrinsically bound together. You
know what can oh go ahead?

Speaker 1 (01:33:12):
Oh, I was going to say, can can I ask
a favor? Would we be able to reprint that with
your permission at Heartland Post. I I love it, Okay,
I'll tell you what, shoot me, shoot me a text
or an email right after you get off the phone,
or have your people uh contact my people, uh and
we I would love to get that. I can get
that up probably in a half hour when I'm on

(01:33:33):
the air, because that's that's a that's a fantastic reflection,
and I think that would be tremendous because I think, oh,
go ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:33:42):
Yeah, please you man, I just think, you know, I
get so excited about this. I apologize, but it's you know,
for me, it's it's the fact that Wisconsin, you know,
what transforms this nation. What excites me so much about
being in Wisconsin, being in Wisconsin, I running for office Wisconsin,
is that without Wisconsin, nothing changes. Wisconsin the state in

(01:34:07):
the nation that decides to free Joshua Glover when he
gets there, and it's so intent that they decide to
create the Republican Party. Of the Republican Party starts right here,
and it's from that movement that it transforms the nation.
We finally decide to deal with this peculiar institution. All
that starts in Wisconsin, and so yeah, I do to

(01:34:32):
bring this all the way around now in our two
hundred and fiftieth year of freedom and independent it's Wisconsin
again that's actually deciding. This could literally be the bulwark
where we decide that no more of this democratic socialism.
You know, you see it happening all over the country.
We may have to be the place that's the bulwark

(01:34:52):
that stops this progress that's happening. That is just so radical,
so anti common sense, this idea of something for nothing
when people meant free country before they meant the sacrifice
and that we had the freedoms here. Too often I'm
hearing people say free country in terms of what they

(01:35:13):
get from the place. We've got to get back to
the true meaning of the indispensable nature of America and
the fact that we've got to get back to what
citizenship really means here.

Speaker 1 (01:35:26):
He is Will Martin, candidate for lieutenant governor here on
the Dan O'Donnell show. I'm so glad you touched on that.
It's almost like you read my mind, Will this So
I love having you on the show because you were
going exactly where I've going. We really are you and
Tom Tiffany. I mean, obviously you do have an opponent
for the Republican nomination, but it does look like obviously,

(01:35:49):
with the overwhelming support, I'm going to say, how about this,
you are hoping that you and Tom Tiffany are going
to be that bulwark against socialism. Open the show today
by talking about yet another Democrat socialist to one unseating
a fifteen term incumbent Democrat in the Denver area in

(01:36:10):
the Colorado congressional primaries last night. This follows last week's
stunning but not surprising, dominant showing by the Democrat socialists
in America in New York City and across New York State.
I really do believe that this Democratic primary is going
to be the most watched in America this year, because

(01:36:31):
if a Democrat socialist wins, it is going to be
the ultimate litmus test of whether America, in America's heartland,
the ultimate swing state, is ready for a communist leader.
So it is entirely possible that we are standing in
the way the last bastion of resistance to communist rule.

Speaker 4 (01:36:53):
One, and I think we're going to have to stand
in the breach. That's why I think experienced leadership matters
so much. Toms spent years in the legislature as well
as now being a congressman and having those relationships at
the federal level. I have spent years working for the
last two Republican governors we elected and helping reform welfare
to get people back to jobs, not more welfare. Helping

(01:37:16):
people to be able to tell their kids for the
first time in their lives what they do for a living,
helping cut the caseload, and in saving thirty million dollars
in the first two years, getting more housing affordability, expanding
home ownership in this state, and getting public private partnerships,
multimillion dollar public private partnerships to get more people, young
people here into construction trades. We got the one hundred

(01:37:38):
and twenty opportunity zones implemented right here in Wisconsin under
the first Trump turn, brought hundreds of millions of dollars
of private investment here. You get a communist running this
state and none of those things will happen, and at
ten will be over and we'll all be taxed beyond oblivion.

Speaker 1 (01:37:58):
I don't think there's any question that that would happen
under a Francesca Hong administration. But here's the thing. This
party has been pulled so far to the left, it
would not surprise me if a Sarah Rodriguez or a
David Crowley or any of the so called moderates who
are running for this nomination would be likely to do

(01:38:21):
the exact same thing. I mean, that's the thing that's
so scary.

Speaker 4 (01:38:25):
Yeah, look at look at Evers. Who thought that Evers
would come up with a four hundred year property tax
increase out of a veto, Yeah, and then tells the
state of Wisconsin deal with it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:38:38):
Right. So the idea that there's a moderate left, I
think I think we're kidding ourselves. I think there's just
left and that's it. It's it's become so far radicalized.
And I think that's the thing we've got to make sure.
I think too many people think we've got this in
the bag. This is going to be a fight for
every vote, with a fight for the few sure of

(01:39:00):
the state. We've got to fight like it really is real.

Speaker 1 (01:39:03):
Yeah, I mean I think people don't quite understand how
difficult this environment is going to be, and that a
democratic socialist absolutely can win when you're likely to have
a very favorable electorate. I think I saw the latest
generic ballot Democrats are in an eight point better position

(01:39:25):
than they were in November of twenty twenty four. Not
especially surprising, and cannon quality obviously does matter. But I
think there is going to be something of an uphill
battle for Republicans just by the very nature of the
cyclical nature of our elections. That we have a Republican
president in the White House and typically the country will

(01:39:47):
tilt back to Democrats.

Speaker 4 (01:39:49):
Yeah, but I'm heartened by the fact that when Reagan
was in Tommy Thompson yep, who was not judged to
be the prospective winner going into that race, he came
out of that triumphant, despite the fact that we had
a Republican in the White House. And I think we
can do it again. I think we have to do

(01:40:09):
it again. Look around us, and I worry. You know,
the idea that these Democrats socialists are telling people you
can have everything for free. You can get childcare for free,
you can go to college for free. What about a house.
Let's figure out how to give you a house the
loan and you do not have to pay it back.

(01:40:30):
This is the siren song of socialism, communism, and I
think we just have to educate people constantly about how
damaging this will be to the state of Wisconsin and
its future and frankly to this nation.

Speaker 1 (01:40:45):
He is Will Martin, candidate for Lieutenant governor. Will always
appreciate having you on the show. Have a wonderful Fourth
of July holiday. I'm going to take a while. Guess
you're in like fifteen different parades.

Speaker 4 (01:40:57):
Right absolutely, I mean in Green Bay right now and
on my way to a conto.

Speaker 2 (01:41:01):
So cool.

Speaker 4 (01:41:02):
We're gonna keep fighting for every vote.

Speaker 1 (01:41:05):
Absolutely, sir. Best of luck to you. Have a wonderful
Independence Day weekend. You are listening to the Dano Donald Show.
It is conservative thought, not just talk. Did you know
today is a great American holiday. No, it's not the

(01:41:25):
anniversary of Gettysburg, although it is. I mean, we did
a big story about that earlier in the show. Today
is Bobby Bonia Day. Anybody who follows baseball knows what
Bobby Bonia Day is. Every July first, the New York
Mets have to cut a check for one million, one

(01:41:47):
hundred and ninety three thousand, two hundred and forty eight
dollars and twenty cents to outfielder Bobby Bonia. Bobby Bonia
has not played for the Mets since two thousand, yet
they're going to be paying him one point one nine
million dollars every year through twenty thirty five. They've still

(01:42:10):
got nine more years. Rather than pay the five point
nine million dollars they owed him up front, the Mets
opted for a twenty five year payout with interest because
they wanted to keep their cash flow nimble and maybe
even outsmart the market with the money they kept. This
has resulted thus far in total payments of approximately thirty

(01:42:35):
million dollars for Bobby Bonilla, up from the original five
point nine million dollar contract. Do you know why the
Mets were so confident that they would be able to
turn that five point nine million dollars that they were
saving into much greater returns. They were heavily invested in

(01:42:58):
a financier by the name of Bernie Madoff. That's right,
the Mets got scammed by Bernie Madoff. Our Justin Phillips,
great writer at the Heartland Post, has a fantastic piece
about how Bobby Bonia Day, which started as a quirky
yearly footnote. It has become a blueprint for something far

(01:43:20):
more significant, professional athletes using deferred compensation combined with strategic
residency changes to legally sidestep income taxes in high tax jurisdictions.
This is no longer Phillips Rights just about one odd
ball contract buyout. It is a growing trend that's reshaping

(01:43:42):
how teams in high tax states compete for talent, and
it carries direct implications for Wisconsin's packers, bucks and brewers.
Shohei O'tani is the most recent example. He set a
record with a seven hundred million dollar deal with the
LA Dodgers. He deferred a total of six hundred eighty

(01:44:06):
million dollars worth of that it's going to be paid
out from twenty thirty four to twenty forty three. If
he establishes residency outside of California by then, he's going
to save an estimated ninety to one hundred million dollars
in state income taxes. Number of other Dodgers stars have
similar deferrals, totaling over one billion dollars that stretches into

(01:44:30):
the twenty forties. Now, why do you think so many players,
specifically on the Dodgers want to do this in twenty
thirty four, there's a very good chance that Shohei Otani
is either not going to be playing in LA or
he's going to be retired. Now that would be bad
for baseball. I think Otani is by far the best

(01:44:51):
player that this game has seen, possibly since bay Ruth. Seriously,
it looked no further than what's being called the Shohi
Otani game in the National League Championship Series against the
Brewers last year, where the Dodgers I believe that was
with that the clinching game. It was either Game three
or Game four, Dodgers swept the Brewers right out of
the playoffs last year. Otani had what three home runs

(01:45:15):
and pitched five innings of scoreless ball. I mean, it
was just it's incredible that we've never seen anybody who
can do anything like that. So college sports, Phillips Rights
is seeing the exact same dynamic through name, image and
likeness deals. Now there's direct revenue sharing as well. And

(01:45:38):
what this means for teams like the Bucks, Brewers, and Packers,
as well as Division I schools like UW Madison and
Marquett is that our state is on the wrong side
of the Ledger as Phillips Rights, the state's top income
tax rate clocks in at seven point six percent, and
proposals from bumper stickers socialists for even higher millionaire taxes

(01:46:03):
or new tax brackets on high earners surface regularly from
progressive lawmakers. Packers, Bucks and Brewers. Players already faced Wisconsin
taxation on income earned while performing services in the state.
The so called jock tax adds another layer of complexity.
Under the emerging deferred compensation model, a star could negotiate

(01:46:23):
a large contract with significant deferrals, play out his prime
in Wisconsin, then retire and establish residency in Florida or
Texas before the big payments arrive. Those future checks would
then be received tax free in the new low or
no tax state, completely avoiding Wisconsin income tax and any

(01:46:44):
additional millionaire serve tax pushed by the bumper sticker socialists.
This is not theoretical. Agents already advise clients on exactly
these residency and deferral strategies. For Wisconsin teams, it creates
a structural disadvantage. To compete for top free agents or
retain their own stars, they may need to offer inflated

(01:47:05):
nominal contracts to offset the tax hit, squeezing payroll flexibility
under league caps. Meanwhile, teams in Florida, the Dolphins, Bucks, Panthers, Magic, Marlins,
and Rays, Texas and Tennessee enjoy both lower effective costs
and their colleges have better recruiting pitches for athletes. This

(01:47:27):
entire phenomenon is a textbookcase of tax competition in action.
Mobile high earning individuals, whether athletes, entrepreneurs, or retirees, respond
to incentives. Florida, Texas, and Tennessee are winning because they
do not punish success with income taxes on wages. High
tax states are left with two losing plays, jack up

(01:47:49):
rates and watch more people flee or carve out special
exemptions for athletes and pretend the rest of their tax
policy isn't broken. That is fantastic writing from Justin Phillips.
You can find that Heartlandpost dot com. It is our
new digital web initiative. It is the biggest conservative news

(01:48:13):
site in Wisconsin. I dare say the biggest political news
site in Wisconsin. After just a couple of months, I
believe we've been a thing for about three months now,
and already because of great reporting like that from Justin Phillips.
Just incredible food for thought about would you have ever

(01:48:33):
thought about that? How Bobby Bonia Day and deferred compensation,
deferred contract payouts in these big money deals is actually
putting Wisconsin, a high tax state, at a competitive disadvantage.
That's just a great reporting right there. Strongly encourage you
to read that. On this Bobby Bonia Day, you are

(01:48:56):
listening to the Dan o'donald show back to wrap things
up in just a couple of minutes. It's conservative thought
and not just talk. All right, what do you think
can I can I break my spoiler embargo? At the
World Cup? We just saw what perhaps one of the

(01:49:17):
most insane endings I think I've ever seen to a
World Cup match. What do you think, Eric, you'd go
for it? Nah? Now you know what. Nope, I'm gonna
stick to my guns. I'm gonna say no spoilers. We
are not talking about matches that have already happened, because

(01:49:39):
far be it from me. Although we're playing you know,
I do this, I do this, and then like every
commercial break, we've got a World Cup update from iHeartRadio
where they say, oh yeah, by the way, screw that
guy who says he's not going to give you the score.
England actually won sixteen to nothing. What hey, that didn't happen.
I said, you're not going to do a You're not

(01:50:00):
going to get a spoiler here. I learned my lesson
folks earlier this year. It was during the Winter Olympics
where I thought, it wasn't even like a Jordan Stoltz race.
It was some It wasn't figure skating, it wasn't some
big thing like US hockey or something. I gave the
results of something, and oh my goodness, you would have

(01:50:23):
thought I took a blood oath with the Democratic Socialists
of America the way our audience just I lost them.
I lost them, Eric, they revolted. So I said, you
know what, I am never doing spoilers again. I am
not going to tell you about something that I was
watching live that you might not watch until later. So,

(01:50:45):
even though it is televised nationally, and it's not like
they're replaying these matches at night, at least I don't
think so, they're not replaying them on Fox Sports one
or anything like that. Team USA does enter the knockout
stage tonight, and if you've been watching us on the
Dano cam, you have noticed that I am geared up.
I've got the official USA scarf. This is a soccer thing.

(01:51:11):
You get the scarf. This is Los Angeles FIFA twenty six.
I got one for each of the kids. We were
in LA for the last match. I don't even know,
but apparently I didn't even realize. My fifteen year old
son was with me when I got it. At the
merchandise stand after the game, I asked how many scarves
are left and they said three, and I said, good,

(01:51:35):
I'll just take all three. You know, I didn't even
think about it. I got three kids. Apparently my son
said in line after everybody was like throwing up their hands, like,
come on, what, Well didn't say one per customer. So
I got one for each kid, and I'm borrowing one.
I got one from the World Cup itself. But so

(01:51:55):
Team USA does play tonight Bosnia Herzegovina and the winner
is going to play either Belgium or Senegal. One of
those teams just one in one of the craziest finishes
I have ever seen at the end of the extra
time period. This is going to be a massive, massive

(01:52:17):
match tonight for Team USA. They are the overwhelming favorites
because Frankly, Bosnia Herzegovina is not particularly good. This is
the first time the World Cup was expanded to forty
eight teams, so you get a lot of teams that
are advancing. It used to be the top two teams
in each group. So the way that the tournament is

(01:52:38):
done is each team is guaranteed three matches. You're divided
into groups with three other teams. You play a match
against every one of those teams, and the top finishers
in each group move on to the knockout stage and
then it's just a single elimination tournament, which we're in now.
So it used to be the round of sixteen was
the first round of the knockout stages. Now it's round

(01:53:00):
of thirty two. So the group stage eliminated a grand
total of sixteen teams, So you can imagine a lot
of teams are making the knockout stages that are not
especially good. Bosnia or Herzegovina is one of them. But look,
you had very very good teams already fall in the
Netherlands and Germany. A lot of people thought Germany could

(01:53:22):
make a deep run. The Netherlands I don't believe had
technically lost in the World Cup since twenty ten, and
there's a weird technicality on that that we just don't
have enough time left in the show to explain. The
United States, I'm not going to pretend is on upset
watch and their best player, Christian Polisic, is going to

(01:53:44):
be in the starting lineup for the first time since
I think the first match of the group stages. He's
been dealing with a lingering injury. This is going to
be a very tough road for the US if they
get past the first two knockout stage matches, they have
to play in order Spain, the number three team in

(01:54:04):
the world, France the number one team in the world,
and then Argentina in the World Cup final, the number
two team in the entire world, assuming of course that
those teams get that far. But hey, what's the USA's motto.
I believe that we will win. Go Team USA, have

(01:54:25):
a great night, Wisconsin. We're back tomorrow right here on
the Dan O'Donnell's Show.
