President Trump wheels up on Air Force 1 as he has headed down to Dallas to headline the first night of the midterm convention. It's the first time either party has ever done something like this. Think of it as like the presidential nominating convention. The Republicans had theirs in Milwaukee two years ago. Only for the midterms. This is designed to generate interest in the midterm elections, designed to try to get turnout of non-traditional voters, voters who in the past have really only turned out in presidential elections, buoying President Trump to wins in 2016 and 2024. But essentially staying home and costing Republicans in both 2018 and 2022. Will it be successful? Ultimately, we're not going to know until November 3. So we will be providing coverage of the midterm convention.
For those asking and a lot of people have been asking if I was going to be down there, I was in fact invited to provide coverage down at the midterm convention. I sort of figured frankly, I would be better off here. I don't know, I really didn't want to travel. Now, Democrats of course are going to use that as evidence that Trump's convention is going to be a big flop. They have already been asking pretty much every Republican, are you going to attend? Are you going to be their Republicans? Because if not, that means that you are breaking with Trump or maybe that you recognize that President Trump is so historically unpopular, you can't possibly be seen at his convention. We will deal with that at the Daily Trump day. That's coming up about an hour from now here on the Dan O'Donnell show. We've got a whole lot to get to, but we begin with a pretty big exclusive story. Milwaukee County executive David Crowley, who is now the Democratic nominee for governor,
directed Milwaukee County's lobbyists at taxpayer expense to lobby the state legislature in support of a bill that would have created essentially a standing pot of taxpayer money for immigration legal services available to illegal immigrants. This, according to state lobbying records, obtained exclusively by me. 2025 assembly bill 475 was introduced by socialist democratic rep Ryan Clancy and co-sponsored by fellow socialist Francesca Huang would have required the Department of Administration to award grants to community-based organizations for civil legal aid in immigration matters. The bill's language specified that grant recipients must provide services, quote, without regard to the client's immigration status. It would have established a continuing
$300,000 in taxpayer funded appropriations. An organization such as radical left wing illegal immigration group, Vosis De La Frontera, were among the types of groups that could have received those funds. Milwaukee County registered in support of the bill. Remember, this was just last year. So, this is not ancient history. This is not in the peak woke era of 2020 to about 2024. And Milwaukee County reported more than $210,000 in lobbying expenses during the last legislative session 2025 to 2026. Now, assembly bill 475 because it is so radical, as you could expect, didn't advance in the Republican controlled Wisconsin legislature, but Crowley was directing hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money while I might add. Crowley's Milwaukee County was running about $168 million to $169 million budget deficit over the next
five years. This is significant because what it reiterates is that his stance on illegal immigration and making the Milwaukee County and making Wisconsin into a sanctuary jurisdiction. This is not just campaign rhetoric designed to move to the left and keep up with Huang in a very topsy turvy democratic primary. This is his actual belief structure. Now, the Tom Tiffany campaign has put out video of Crowley. And this is actually from Crowley's own tick-tock account of him saying at the home of a supporter that when it comes to the LGBTQ community, when it comes to the illegal immigrant communities, not just an ally, he's unaccomplished. When it comes down to the immigrants, when it comes down to the LGBTQ community, always say, I'm not an ally, I'm an accomplice. I'm going to be with you no matter what. Well, I think he's taking that literally because it wasn't just AB 475 that Milwaukee
County's taxpayer-funded lobbyists were lobbying in support of this past session. Assembly Bill 57, another one co-sponsored by Francesca Huang, would have barred state and local officials, including law enforcement officials, from helping to detain people solely on immigration status at designated sensitive locations, churches, hospitals, and schools. The practical effect of that would have been to create literal sanctuaries that illegals could have simply ducked into. And I don't know, an immigration warrant suddenly has no effect. Once again, this piece of legislation never saw the light of day. It was never brought up for a vote in the full assembly because Republicans controlled the legislature and essentially were saving Democrats from themselves by not forcing members to take votes on truly insane legislation. But
once again, you have gotten the Milwaukee County executive, David Crowley, who's supposedly the moderate in this race. Remember, we have been told like Democrats, they came to their senses. They elected the moderate. Francesca Huang, she's a radical socialist. Yes, we get that. Well, not only did David Crowley support her legislation, truly radical left wing legislation on illegal immigration, he was spending your money lobbying in support of its passage. Not only that, we found lobbying records that indicate the Milwaukee County lobbying team also supported assembly bill 441. Now this would have been essentially the same sort of illegal mask prohibition that the city of Milwaukee passed, that is blatantly unconstitutional. This would have prohibited ICE agents statewide from concealing their faces during
rests or operations. Now, why do you suppose ICE agents feel the need to conceal their faces while they're conducting operations? It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that insane Democrats, including yesterday's unhinged liberal of the day, this Cal State Los Angeles professor who said, let's, hey, this ICE agent, this criminal ICE agent is staying at this hotel. Let's go bleep him up. She was literally doxing an ICE agent. And over the weekend, calling for an audience at some conference that she was speaking in front of to go bleep him up. We have all seen what leftists were doing to ICE agents, FBI agents, and anybody else during the Battle of Minneapolis in the early portion, first couple of weeks of this year. ICE agents are terrified. And many federal agents are terrified of the left wing mob that seeks to identify them, seeks to dox them and their families.
David Crowley didn't just come out in support of assembly bill 441, which would have prohibited ICE agents from protecting themselves from the braying mobs. He paid tax dollars, your dollars, to lobby for it. Not only that, Milwaukee County also registering in favor of assembly bill 444, which would have banned state agencies and local governments, including sheriff's departments from using their facilities to detain people on the basis of immigration status. Why is this so significant? Because this essentially turns pretty much every single community into a sanctuary community, because you can't use your jail to house illegal immigrants. You are not able to detain people. You're not able to cooperate with ICE. And naturally, naturally, there was another
another David Crowley and his lobbying team at Milwaukee County really have had a field day coming out in support and spending taxpayer dollars, lobbying in support of truly radical anti-ice pro illegal immigrant bills, including assembly bill 739. This is yet another one authored by Francesca Horn. It would have ended with our known as 287G agreements. Those are ones where local law enforcement is able to partner with ICE and other federal immigration authorities in order to essentially hold illegal immigrants for pickup later. It would have also restricted local law enforcement agencies from assisting ICE in detentions. Again, none of these pieces of legislation advanced Republicans control the state legislature, although this should give you a pretty good indication of what sort of bills would be on the docket if Democrats take over the state Senate, take over the state assembly.
And if David Crowley is somehow able to win the governor's mansion, in fact, Democrats just today are growing about the possibility. There is a representative from the Democratic Senate leadership fund or the DSCC, the Democratic Senate, whatever the state version of the DSCC is, saying, oh, yeah, yeah, this is the most favorable environment that we've ever had. And we think that a trifecta is certainly within the realm of possibility. We believe that a trifecta is going to happen. Well, this is exactly the sort of package of bills that would not just come up for a vote, but would be passed, would be signed into law. Half of them, it is very telling, were co-authored or co-sponsored by Francesca Horn. Now, Crowley has said repeatedly, he's not going to partner
with ICE. Again, he's not just a supporter of illegal immigrant communities, he's also an accomplice. He would absolutely sign all of these bills into law. In fact, he's been a staunch supporter throughout his career of increased benefits for illegal immigrants. He's pushed for driver's licenses for illegals. He actually co-authored legislation back when he was a state legislator providing illegals with in-state college tuition subsidized by, yes, you, me, and every other taxpayer in the state. And he's repeatedly called for abolishing ICE. In fact, at a recent Democrat town hall, he was asked, would you as governor and all support for ICE? This was one of these questions where Democrats, I love these town halls, where they all have a little
yes or no sign. It's yes in green, no in red. They're all asked the exact same question. They hold up their little ping pong paddle. Would you believe that after this question was asked, David Crowley raised his paddle even faster than Franny Hong? Federal immigration agents have often targeted labor and community leaders. Would you direct state government agencies to not work with federal immigration authorities? Yeah. Crowley actually had his paddle up before Hong. This would depend upon how exactly the instructions would go amount to obstruction of federal immigration authority. In fact, we broke this story here on the Dan O'Donnell show early in 2025, early in President Trump's second term, that in fact, governor Evers was offering illegal advice and illegal directives to all state employees to essentially when an ICE agent comes to a state
agency or comes to a state office, you are to and I quote, put them in a conference room or other non public area while you get your supervisor or legal counsel. You're you're essentially supposed to trap the ICE agents in the back room and I don't know, get all of the illegal immigrants who are apparently working in state government out the back door. Well, David Crowley, just like Franny Hong supports this. Now he was actually just asked JR Ross of whispolitics.com in a recent podcast that he hosted with all of the Democratic primary opponents. He asked flat out. David Crowley, as governor, would you cooperate with ICE? You believe local sheriffs had honor immigration retainers? Absolutely not. Absolutely not. In fact, the safest way for illegal immigration operations
to be conducted is to take illegal immigrant criminals out of jail. Why? Because you know, they're not armed here in Wisconsin. We had easily the most famous case actually in David Crowley's Milwaukee County of what happens when liberals essentially take the law into their own hands. When ICE agents and it wasn't actually an ICE team, it was a federal arrest team led by an FBI agent came to arrest a violent illegal immigrant criminal who was appearing before the Milwaukee County judge Hannah Dugan. Dugan gave the illegal immigrant criminal a heads up, led him through the jury room door and attempted to get him to escape captain. Now, fortunately, one member of that federal arrest team saw this go down. They were able to take the guy into custody after he tried running away from them once he got downstairs and outside of the courthouse building. But this is precisely the sort of thing that keeps agents and keeps
illegals and keeps members of the public safe when you can go into secure areas and simply without any moths without any fuss arrest illegal immigrants. It is much much easier for everyone. In fact, this is the big reason that there has been such a dramatic uptick in enforcement actions. 50,000 illegal immigrants taken off the streets just in the last month and president Trump is aiming to dramatically increase that. You're not hearing about it. You're not seeing any of these arrests because they're taking place very quickly, very safely and very quietly. So as not to freak out the pro illegal mob that apparently includes Milwaukee's county executive as well as the democratic nominee for governor. Now, if that wasn't enough, as Milwaukee County executive, we have outlined this throughout the past couple of years here on the Dan O'Donnell show, Crowley is actually used his
social media presence to provide instructions to the public specific instructions on how to resist and obstruct ICE agents and he even promoted a community resource hub that provides legal aid to illegal aliens who break the law. This is about as radical as it gets, but when you also spend $200,000 plus on lobbying efforts to try to get state law changed to essentially turn Wisconsin into a sanctuary state, that's something the entire state needs to take note of. I did reach out to the Milwaukee County executive's office, which naturally has not yet responded to a request for comment on these lobbying efforts. If and when they do, I will, as you would imagine, pass that information along to you, but a big exclusive story broken right here and at the Heartland Post, you can read
it heartlandpost.com. We've got links to it on my social media at Dan O'Donnell show on x at facebook.com slash Dan O'Donnell show as well as Milwaukee County executive David Crowley spent hundreds of thousands of dollars that Milwaukee County does not have because it's running such a massive $169 million deficit to support a bill that would create a permanent pot of money for illegal immigrants to be able to access legal services as well as a host of anti-ice bills.

Oh, shit. We took a look at some of the lobbying efforts that Milwaukee County, Milwaukee County has paid lobbyists. Do you know this that you are paying for Milwaukee County to lobby the state legislature on priorities of the county executive? Well, this county executive what's this? Oh, producer Dave Michaels asks, is this county, is this common, I should say, in I like how you just you you get right back right back on the saddle of just interrupting my train of thought. I feel like belling and I'm about to start yelling at pull up. No, that is
an excellent question. I'm teasing you, buddy. We always love getting the band back together. My long time producer, one of my very best friends in this business, Dave Michaels, who apparently is going to go right from work. I'm asking him, hey, are you going to do anything for the NFL season opener tonight? Believe it or not, the NFL is opening on hump day. I love have you seen the commercials with the camel, the cow, Mike, Mike, Mike, they're talking to Mike Toreco, who's the play by play guy on NBC Sunday night. Well, I guess what day it is. What was it was an old insurance commercial, was that guy go had to have been guy go. It had to have been as a hump day. Well, they did that for the fact that hump day is for the first time going to open up an NFL season. It's a rematch of the Super Bowl. The Seattle sea hawks are hosting the New England Patriots. So if if you're in fantasy football, if you're in a league or like me, I counted it up. I am in seven leagues. I have a serious problem. Ladies and gentlemen, if I'm suddenly off the air for a couple of days,
it's because I've checked myself into rehab for a serious fantasy football addiction. But no, I asked Dave, are you doing anything for the game tonight? Apparently he is getting off the air right after six o'clock hits. And he is just doing nothing, but driving his kids to and from practice. I said, oh man, it's that time of life. It is that time of life, buddy. I love it. No, but Dave asks a very good question. Is it just Milwaukee County that has its own lobbyists? Yes. As you can imagine, it's only the bigger counties. I know Dane County has lobbyists, but typically you're not going to see iron County or green County or some of the smaller cars. They simply can't yet. No, no, you're not going to see. Well, so what you said, Iowa County? No, they're not going to sock County does not have highly paid lobbyists. This is a relatively rare thing that only the biggest counties in Wisconsin can afford. But we actually broke this
story at the start of this hour that David Crowley instructed the lobbyists that Milwaukee County does have to support every radical pro illegal immigrant anti ice bill that was on the docket. This session, this is not ancient history. This is not peak woke where, you know, David Crowley can simply say, well, everybody went a little nuts during the woke era of 2020, 2021. No, this, this was this year and the year before. This is the current legislative session. In fact, I'm sure if I went back with some of those lobbying records, I could find even crazier things that David Crowley has been in support of and more significantly. And this is, this is, you know, it's obviously okay. It's a big deal that the county executive and now the Democratic nominee for governor, he supports all of this crazy woke anti ice pro illegal immigrant nonsense. The fact that he is
spending your taxpayer money. And remember, because of shared revenue, it is all of our taxpayer money, your tax dollars, even if you live in sock County or Iowa County, your tax dollars are going to Milwaukee County through shared revenue. And remember, David Crowley was begging a long side Milwaukee's mayor, Cavalier Johnson for more of that sweet, sweet shared revenue cash that he immediately blew apparently on lobbying to spend more tax dollars on support for illegal immigrants because they're running. How do you? Okay, I'm sorry I keep coming back to this folks. How do you get $107, $107? If he got $107, he's getting like $107 per millisecond in sales tax revenue, $107 million on average per year in new sales tax revenue after David Crowley nearly
doubled the sales tax in Milwaukee County, $177 million per year. And he's still running a nearly $177 million budget deficit. I don't even think you have to work at being that fiscally incompetent. So Crowley is coming out in support of and lobbying in support of and using your tax dollars to support all of this crazy pro illegal immigration stuff. How about this story? There was a deliberate attempt to bury over the Labor Day weekend. An illegal immigrant living in Baloitte. I saw the headlines over the weekend. A Baloitte man has been charged with illegally voting in Wisconsin's November 22 general election. A Baloitte man named Jesus, Javier, Harado, Garcia. Yeah, that is a long time Baloitte native man. He's been here forever. No, he's 25 years old. He
was criminally charged September 2nd. He's an illegal from Mexico. He's been charged with voting as an alien prosecutor said he knew he was not a US citizen when he cast a ballot. November 8th, 2022 in an election that included races for the US Senate and House of Representatives. That's what makes this a federal crime. If convicted, the Baloitte native, Jesus, Javier, Harado, Garcia faces up to a year in prison. A judge would impose any sentence under federal law and sentencing guidelines. US attorney's office said in a statement protecting the integrity of federal elections is a fundamental responsibility of this office. The charge against this defendant reflects our commitment to enforcing the law and ensuring that every vote cast complies fully with federal requirements. No one is above these obligations. And my office will continue to pursue cases where unlawful voting occurs. That went from Chadwick, M. Elgersma,
US attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin. Now this was part of a broader announcement this week. Five people in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Wisconsin all charged with illegal voting or fraudulent registration in the 2022 or 2024 elections, which is weird because I have it on very good authority that we don't need to crack down on this sort of stuff because it never, ever, ever actually happens. You're listening to the Dan O'Donnell show. We'll be back in just a on September 9th. How? Well, that is a great question producer Dave Dan O'Donnell show right back municipal clerks have begun mailing absentee ballots out ahead of the November 3rd election. The statutory deadline for clerks to send those ballots out is September 17th. We literally do not have election day or even election week or the election two week period.
We have more than a month of voting now. As of this morning, according to the Wisconsin election commission, 282,396 Wisconsin voters have requested absentee ballots ahead of the November 3rd general election. Of those requests, 66,565 ballots have been sent to voters and 36 completed ballots have already been returned to clerks. How early are Democrat communities sending out their ballots? This is what I want to know because you know, damn well, it is in Democratic communities that they are getting these out as quickly as the only thing that Democrat communities that Democrat government officials will do quickly and efficiently is get those ballots in the hands of voters. Yeah, they won't count them that fast day of that's for damn sure. For comparison sake
in the 2024 general election, about 550,000 voters returned absentee ballots by mail. Another 950,000 voted early in person at clerks offices or designated early voting locations. That is a total of 41,000 or excuse me, 41% of voters, 41% of voters did not vote on election day. They voted early in person or they voted by mail. In person absentee voting is scheduled to begin October 20th hours of vary by municipality. Who do you want to bet has way more early voting hours? We fought tooth and nail against Democrat counties and Democrat municipalities like Milwaukee and Madison to try to get uniform dates for in person early voting because it is so inherently unfair.
If the biggest communities and the biggest counties all have the most early voting hours and all have the most staff members who are able to process early voting and send out these ballots and do all of this. Who do you think is going to have a massive advantage? Rather obviously it is the Democrats. This by the way is why we are once again doing the state's largest early vote drive here on the Dan O'Donnell show. We do it every single election not because I love early voting but because I hate because I think it is such a massive advantage for Democrats. They have two months. You have got 36 people have already voted. How is this even possible? I guarantee it. Do you think there is a single Tom Tiffany vote in any one of those 36 ballots that have already voted? I could not fathom
there being a single Tom Tiffany vote. Now, so we do the state's largest early vote drive because it is my aim to do away with in-person absentee, balloting, mail-in balloting, save for how we did early voting for much of this country's history. If you had a valid excuse, if for example, you were going to be on vacation, this is something that we run into each and every partisan primary because it's in August. The August 11th primary saw much lower turnout than you would expect even though this was probably the single most watched Democrat primary of the entire summer across the nation because it was going to be the biggest test of DSA socialism with franny Huang going against David Crowley turns out Democrats were successfully able to rig their primary in favor of Crowley and against Francesco Huang. I'll tell you what if I was a DSA member, I'd still be pretty ticked about that and I wouldn't
want data center David Crowley to be my governor, but hey, that's just me. Not a lot of people voted in that primary comparatively speaking to how many are going to vote in the general election, how many typically will vote in presidential primaries when they're contested by the time Wisconsin's primary rules around simply because there are so many people who are on vacation. It's August. It's the most popular month by far for people to take vacations. So what the law said for a long time is if you go to your clerk's office and hey, I am not going to be here. All right, we will let you vote early because you got an excuse. Well, what happened was that Democrats realized that no excuse early vote. If we have election month instead of election day, we can have all of our paid organizers, all of these groups that totally weren't funded with USAID money, but now suddenly
have severe financial crunches. Now that USAID has been defunded, they will go out and they will find every single person who could possibly be registered and signed up to vote. And then there is the rather obvious, unseemly side of things. It is way easier to cheat using absentee ballots than anything else. And in fact, the Wisconsin elections commission as liberal and thoroughly useless as it is actually did say today that it believes the now former green Bay clerk Celestean Jeffries broke state law when she sent out multiple absentee ballots duplicate ballots to several voters twice in the past couple of elections. We are going to dive into that story coming up in the five o'clock hour, coming up in the four o'clock hour in Waukeshaw County.
There is going to be a pretty big announcement made here on the Dan O'Donnell show that I think will suffice as a tease. There's a big election coming up and we've got a major announcement tied to that plus the daily Trump date as president Trump is now headed to Dallas for the very first midterm convention. All of that coming up but coming up next will name the unhinged liberal of the day. Here's how buying glass used to go. You drive across town to the one shop that's open.

Ferguson saying GLP1 fat loss or weight loss drugs amount to and I quote fat genocide. The political deployment of GLP1s is fascistic. Not because individuals take them but because the conditions under which they become necessary are shaped by a world fixated on genociding fat people. This is a structural critique that asks
what happens when the conditions produced by capitalism, by public health, by the state apparatus, and by anti-black desire, align around a single bodily ideal that leaves little to no room for diversions and punishes anybody that does. So in case you're wondering yes, DeShawn L. Ferguson is overweight. I didn't even need to see I first heard this sound bite. I didn't see what you look at. I said there is no way this guy is skinny. He also I think desperately wants to be on a GLP like like ozemic right ozemic is a form of GLP1. It's a miracle drug truly miracle drug that was originally used to treat diabetes. Well now as we find out a lot of these drugs have alternate uses that what was it the the erection medication the little blue pill. Fyagra wasn't that originally a
hair loss drug. So rather than accept this for the modern medical miracle that it is and this is quite literally saving lives because obesity is about the biggest you want to talk about an actual genocide. The actual genocide is of people in this country and around the world who are incredibly obese. They're getting on these drugs and they are losing 50, 60, 70 pounds very quickly. But apparently that's a genocide. So I got to hear this again. The political deployment of GLP1s is fascistic. Fascist. Not because individuals take them, but because the conditions under which they become necessary are shaped by a world fixated on genociding fat people. Your fatness is what genocides fat people. Opicity is the heart disease, diabetes, the single worst thing other than smoking cigarettes that you can do for your health is to be overweight
and live a sedentary lifestyle. This is a structural critique that asks what happens when the conditions produced by capitalism, by public health, by the state apparatus, and by anti-black desire align around a single bodily ideal that leaves little to no room for diversions and punishes any body that does. How do you even get anti-black in there? How does that? Folks, there is something way deeper at play. I wish I had more time to discuss this in greater depth. This is the socialist mindset in a nutshell. They cannot be responsible for any aspect, any choice, any part of their life. It has got to be society at large. It has got to be the capitalist who's fate is going to determine the control of the house. I'm guessing he's going to be speaking a little bit later, possibly after we get off the air producer Dave. Could you check that out? What time Derek Van Orden is scheduled to
speak in the meantime? I will remind you that the carpetland USA flooring center talk and text line is always open at 414-799-1130.

We broke a big story at the top of the three o'clock hour. David Crowley, the democratic candidate for governor as Milwaukee County executive, actually spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of your money, tax payer money, lobbying in support of truly insane pro illegal immigrant anti-ice bills.

Do we have a time for Derek van Orden? No, the websites do suck. I, you know what? I did sort of check this morning and I'll be totally honest with you. I have not been able to, no, I don't see a, Dave says he doesn't see a schedule anyway. I haven't either. The one gripe I have had about this. And this
is the Republican national convention as well back in 2024. The schedules were not exactly set in stone. You couldn't easily, I mean, the main headliners, we know president Trump is going to speak and I believe nine eight central tonight. He is going to go directly up against the season opener of the NFL. Although I suspect, I suspect not a lot of people know that the NFL season opener is tonight. Do you know why it's on a way? I know, I know, I know, but how many people, Dave says he doesn't, yeah, not a lot of people. No, I get it. Everybody is aware that the NFL season opens up this week up until like last Monday, I thought that the NFL season, like it always does kicked off on a Thursday. Now, I am told it's not necessarily because the NFL just wants to control another night of football, which it totally is, but it's because tomorrow nights game.
What is that? The Rams in 49ers, they're playing in Australia. So they're actually going to be playing at like 11 a.m. on Friday, local time, but that game is going to be broadcast at the normal time of 737 35 p.m. tomorrow night. The NFL's explanation was that they wanted another game not to interfere with the Australia product. Okay. And they wanted enough time because it's one of 16-hour flight for the Rams in 49ers to get back in plenty of time for their next week's game. I think it's because the NFL just totally wants to dominate Wednesday. And I'm telling you, folks, Packers play Wednesday night game. It's the Wednesday that the night before thanks giving this year. They've got that game. I'm telling you by next season, you are going to see at least five or six Wednesday games. You're going to see Wednesday be the night. Almost certainly they open up the season
again. And then there's a Thursday game. They take Friday and Saturday off so they don't compete with or dominate high school and college football. And then they have a ton of games on Sunday, then Sunday night football, which is typically the most watched program of the entire week. And then Monday night football, which unfortunately sort of feels like an also Ram Monday night football when I was growing, that was the big one. Now because Sunday night football is on NBC, it's on the network. And Monday night football is on ESPN. Yes, I know they will cycle cast it on ABC if it's a local game and that sort of thing. But it just it doesn't feel as big as it used to Sunday night. And I guess that's not really a surprise. Sunday night is typically the biggest night of television watching in as much as people still sit down and watch shows on the night that they originally air. All right, time now for the daily Trump day. Did we ever figure out what time van or Nisbee? He scheduled between
three and four p.m. Central time. So he probably already spoke or they're running behind, which is entirely likely. I don't know. We've got the Fox News feed on here and they're not going with, well, I'll tell you what, if if we get a heads up that fan, a word and is speaking or I can't imagine he's going to speak for very long. Maybe we can just replay the speech because this is a big deal. This is a very big deal. Time now for the daily Trump date. You're look at what's going on in Donald Trump's Washington or in this case Dallas because all eyes are on the lone star state as the midterm convention is now underway. President Trump at joint base Andrews before getting on Air Force one to head down to Dallas to questions from reporters and one of them from ABC asked Mr. President, why do you think so many Republicans are avoiding this event? Is it because they know you suck? Well, okay, she didn't ask that second part, but that was clearly the implication and
Trump rightly called her out on it. President, does that mean Republicans and competitive races are not coming to the convention? Do you understand why they're deciding not to come? Everybody that's come everybody's coming to the convention. Everybody wants to come, but we only want and the people that are come, by the way, we're going to be sold out tonight just so you understand who you with. ABC, they're starting. ABC, fake, this is the worst. You are the worst of all in my opinion. The reason that some people are not coming is because we don't have room for 500 politicians. We have room for the ones that have a close race if they're slightly behind or slightly ahead or tied, but we don't have rooms for people that are 35 points up and don't need to be there. We said stay back in campaign. Every politician that we wanted to be there is there. So the media is already going into overdrive with this narrative that nobody wants to go and and nobody wants to be seen with Trump. They already tried it this week with Tom Tiffany. You had
a reporter asked, so how come you're not going to the midterm, he's running for governor of Wisconsin. He what what? I just I it boggles my mind. The midterm convention is all about the Congress. It is all about the House of Representatives and the Senate, but of course Tiffany was asked in an accusatory manner yesterday. So why aren't you going? I am busy this week and starting right here in Milwaukee, we're going to be covering the entire state going Madison, Warsaw, Green Bay, and all over the state of Wisconsin. We got meetings going on everywhere. So unfortunately, I'll not be able to attend because my mission here is to meet as many voters in Wisconsin as possible. We've only got eight weeks before the election and I got a whole lot of voters to be able to meet until then because the the future of our state is at state. Yes, it is our state, not
Texas. So President Trump also answered questions and said a couple of very revealing things on the tarmac today about the Iran war. He predicted multiple times in fact that the war would end as soon as the midterms are over. I think the war is going to end immediately after the election. I think the war will end immediately after the election because they can't hold out any longer. They're desperate to try and affect the election so that we can get a nice week group of people and leave them alone and let them have their nuclear weapon. All they want is a nuclear weapon. And if they had a nuclear weapon, the whole world is in deep trouble. Now think about what it is the President just said. Iran is trying to hold out until after the midterm election and hold out as long as they possibly can because they know that keeping the straight of war moves closed when it actually
isn't or at least keeping the narrative open that the straight of war moves is closed helps Democrats. Democrats getting elected in turn helps Iran because they would vote against anything that President Trump would want to do legislatively to put pressure on Iran, whether that's voting to end any sort of military engagement that President Trump would ramp back up or anything else. Iran strategically thinks that Democrats are good for Iranian interests and this is undoubtedly true. Now as a result of this because Iran, now what do you think the single biggest thing that Iran can do to try to affect the outcome of the election? That's right. Keep gas prices artificially high. Keep commercial ships terrified to try to traverse the straight of war moves. Keep oil prices artificially high. This is why President Trump is also predicting that gas prices
are going to go down immediately after the midterms because Iran is going to do everything in its power to try to get Democrats elected. Right after the election because they like to have it that way but right after the election, oil prices are going to be tumbling downward. They're going to be tumbling down and we'll get them down. I think for gasoline, we'll get them below $2 a gallon. But not until after the midterms. I think it's going to take a little bit longer than the midterms. Because again, Iran is trying its level best to hold out so that the United States has no choice but to essentially endure higher gas prices the rest of the world. Higher gas prices means more people ticked off at Trump and gas prices are really the only thing that Democrats can kind of say, well, the price of gas is artificially high because of Trump. The price of everything else is artificially high because of Democrats. There is no actual way to argue against this. In fact,
I would love to hear any liberal try, try to make the case that President Trump is responsible for the massive price in pretty much everything. You can't because the data is clear. The price shock came in 2021 and 2022 and it was a direct result of $1.2 trillion in government spending as well as the sudden importation of millions and millions of people creating a massive demand shock at the same time that supply was still down because the world was coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was by the way exacerbated by liberal governments keeping their economies and keeping their citizens at home for far longer than they needed to be. Now, President Trump also answered some questions on things not related to Iran. He had a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin as the two as well as Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky tried to end the nearly
five-year long war. We had a great conversation. He is wanting to make a deal and if Zelensky is wanting to make a deal, that would be very nice. What is the hold up? The hold up is two people that hate each other. What do you think is more than anything else? It's two people that hate each other. What it seems that gives you confidence that it's a problem? I speak to people. That's all I do is speak to people. My whole life, I know about deals and these are two people that are tired of fighting. It could happen. We had a good conversation. It could happen. Too many people are dying in that war. 25,000 last month. President Trump has made ending the Russia-Ukraine war a singular focus of his presidency, but even he is admitted that it is much, much more difficult than even he had anticipated because as he just said, you have got two people who really
truly hate each other. That is the daily Trump date coming up in just three minutes. We are going to talk to Adam Neelan, state representative from Wakashore County who is making a big announcement exclusively. Here's how buying glass used to go.

Visit headshop.com, headshop.com. Upgrade your session. Here on the day, the special election is going to be held on December 15th with a primary November 17th if needed. If there are more than two people who declare for that race, well, the candidate whoever wins that election is only going to serve until April because Pharaoh's term was up on April 20th of 2027. Already announcing for that race is state senator Chris Kappinger and joining me now to make a very special announcement is Walker Shaw State Representative Adam Neelan. Adam, welcome to the Dan O'Donnell show right to have you on. Adam, do we have a, do we have a bad connection here? Are you on? Yeah, Dan, I'm here. Are you with me? Yes, yes, we got you. We got you. So without any further ado,
your special announcement, sir. Well, Dan, I wanted to start and I just want to thank you for honorees, Paul Lagassee because I think that's such an important part of all this. You know, he was just a one of a kind personality and like a true pillar of our community and like I really like truly miss him. So thank you for mentioning him because I mean, I want to honor his legacy as part of this. But I appreciate this opportunity because I love Walker Shaw County. It's my home. It's given me so much and I truly believe it's the best place in the world and our best days are still ahead. And I understand the challenges facing young family and I'm raising my family here. Responsibility, you might even say a calling to step up and serve and that's why I'm announcing my run for Walker Shaw County. Well, that's fantastic. So you're seeing this as a way of upholding Paul's legacy and continuing service. What is it about this role that makes you feel as though
you're uniquely qualified to serve it? It's a great question. And I think that when you look at the dynamics facing the county, I think we need to elect like a strong conservative that will hold the line on spending and fight against the sales tax increase. You know, I think that we need to have a conservative that will do those things, but it should not just end there. It's easy to say no. But I believe on the candidate that will show up, that will do the work and build something better. There is already a conservative candidate who is running in Chris Kappinger. What makes you a better option and a stronger conservative for Walker Shaw County than him? Yeah, great question as well. I really like Chris. He's a good Christian family man. I never have anything bad to say about Chris. This isn't about who else is running. The dynamo line is like I believe I'm the right person for the
job. I have a plan to not raise taxes to make government more efficient. Keep Walker Shaw County winning. I'm going to run a positive campaign and I have nothing to bad to say about anyway. I see this is a really great opportunity and I'm sure a lot of great people are going to step up because it's a great job and the greatest place in the world. I see that as sort of your campaign slogan, keep Walker Shaw winning. What does that mean to you? How do you specifically plan to keep Walker Shaw winning? Yeah, great question. It's an amazing place to live. Raise a family. I mean, we have the lowest sales tax in the entire state. There are things we should be proud of. We have over a thousand manufacturing companies in the Walker Shaw County law. People want to be here. It's what we're facing a lot of challenges. I think keeping Walker Shaw County winning, keeping Walker Shaw winning, it's protecting what works, identifying what does not,
and having the courage to address some of the challenges of the future. I think keeping Walker Shaw County winning is like looking at preserving what works, identifying what doesn't, and having the courage to address the challenges in the future. What isn't working in Walker Shaw County right now and how do you plan to fix it? You really do are good at you really a lot of go to the hardest question. So I think it's the first thing. It's almost like I do this for a living source. Sorry to interrupt, but I appreciate I've noticed every question you're like, that's a really good question. I'm like, you know what? Maybe I should be running for Walker Shaw executive. I seem to have this to know I'm kidding. I've kidding. I can't answer. These are the older things. I can't answer any of these questions. I can just ask them. No, what, what isn't working because I've got a, I've got a pretty good idea of what people have told me hasn't been working in Walker Shaw County, but what, I don't want to put any words into your mouth. What do you, what do you plan to address? Like what are some of the big things that need fixing right
away? Well, it started with the fact we're sending too much money to Madison, especially with the fact of running a huge surplus. It's something I'm proud of as a legislator. The fact that we've been able to cut taxes by over seven billion dollars since I've been elected, but also run a huge surplus. Okay, take the registered deeds off it. For example, we collect 11.6 million dollars in real estate fees, but we send 80 percent or 9.3 million back to the state. So I'm keeping just 20 percent despite doing all of the work. Flip that and that's a huge win for us. You need the right leaders that are willing to work with people in Madison, work with people in the county board to make that happen. Now, the one area of disagreement I had with my very good friend of the late county executive, Paul Farrell was on the issue of the sales tax. There was a proposal to raise the county sales tax. I vehemently opposed it. Paul had told me that there was a bit of
a revenue problem in Walker, Shaw County is that accurate or is it more of a spending problem? Do you think you said you want to fight against the sales tax? So you recognize that there are members of the county board who still do want to raise that sales tax. What is your sort of overall thought on revenue in Walker, Shaw County and how does that issue get solved if the sales tax does not go up? Well, some of the factors have been a lot of tools in government efficiency recently that we should be able to implement to be able to get more for less. I think we should be able to utilize tools in the market to produce more. I think that we should start by looking at cutting spending or ways that we can address or spending problem first. The thing is there are things we need to invest in in Walker, Shaw County, like our expo center or the county fair
grounds or things that we need to look at ways we can do growth for growth economic policies. I think that when you look at that instead of having it where we have to raise any taxes because I do not support that, I will not be raising taxes. It is county executive, but what we can look at is flipping the fees around and having the state who is doing all the work collect more so we are able to make sure we are continuing to invest in our priorities because there are things that we need to invest in. But I think that we should be able to get more for less because of all the tools that exist right now. And I also think that we do not need to raise taxes to do it. Adam Neelan, he is a state representative and now a newly announced candidate for Walker, Shaw County executive, the second candidate who is running in the election in mid-December if another candidate gets in there will be a primary November 17th. No rest for the weary amongst
the voters of Walker, Shaw County. What's your take on sort of this rather bizarre situation because you're going to be running for reelection in the state legislature, right? I mean, you see your name on the ballot right now. So you're going to be up on November 3rd, theoretically you're up again two weeks later. And then if you win the primary, you're up again less than a month after that. And then you will be up again if you win that election presumably in April where it could be a rematch of you and say Senator Capunga. Are you ready to be nonstop campaigning and nonstop voting for the next like eight months of your life? It's a sacrifice and there is no question about that. I do feel commitment to the people and especially in my community and I'm fully prepared to go through with that. And let me start and I'm glad you brought this up because it's important that we
address this and we need to keep the majority in the state assembly. Yeah, we do. The legislature, we need to win the governorship. Tom Tiffany needs to I am fully committed to my election to the assembly right now to keep our majority strong and that's vital for Wisconsin's future. Only once we secure that majority and elect Tom Tiffany, that is when I ask for your vote for Waukeshaw County Executive. It is after we show up, we get the job done to protect our majority, we get the job done for the governor. And after that, I ask for your vote for Waukeshaw County Executive. Adam Neelan running for Waukeshaw County Executive and state legislature and I guess Waukeshaw County dog catcher and he's just going to be on every ballot for the name. No, it is a ban and your name's on the list. All right, it is, it is a, it is a, you know, it, it does to get back to why we are here. It does stink. I mean, it does, it is awful that we've
got to do this under the circumstances of Paul's unfortunate passing because we all, I mean, if there is ever somebody who is just universally beloved in conservative circle, even amongst Democrats, I mean, after he passed, how many Democrats came out and just said, what a good decent person, Paul Farrow was, but it is a very scruey situation in which we have got just a whole ton of elections in Waukeshaw County. The website, AdamNeelan.com, that's Neelan, N-E-Y-L-O-N-A-D-A-M-N-E-Y-L-O-N- AdamNeelan.com, Adam, best of luck to you in all of your various elections. Really do thank you for making that announcement on today's show. Thank you, Dan. I appreciate the opportunity. Well, the pleasure, sir, is all mine coming up next. Tom Tiffany was getting a whole lot of heat for backing out of a Wisconsin Broadcasters Association debate. Well, we now, I think, know why,
because the proposed moderator has a long, long, long history of liberal activism. That's story. Here's how buying glass used to go. You drive across town to the one shop that's open.

Uh, really do thank you for making that announcement on today's show. Thank you, Dan. I appreciate the opportunity. Well, the pleasure, sir, is all mine coming up next. Tom Tiffany was getting a whole lot of heat for backing out of a Wisconsin Broadcasters Association debate. Well, we now, I think,
know why because the proposed moderator has a long, long, long history of liberal activism. That story coming up next. The state representative running for Waukeshaw County executive, making that announcement just a couple of minutes ago and doing his best to butter up your humble host. I did notice that before he pointed out. He was saying, wow, that's a great question, Dan. Great question, Dan. Producer, Dave, I don't hear you saying that's a great point, Dan. This is this is why you left my show. I technically I did leave you. I did leave you. And I said, you know what? I could pull rank and make Dave Michaels come with me three to six PM. But then they insisted on having you do like 15 other jobs. He's the morning host on 95 seven big FM are don't call it an oldie station oldie station. Okay, I don't want to hear Christina Aguilera and
in sync at all the songs that I listened to when I was a senior in high school are now on the oldies station. But I graduated from high school. Oh, 27 years ago. All right, let's, let's play a fun little game. We did that the last time you were producing what song right now is playing on 95 seven big FM. If it's something from the 90s, I'm going to have some warm milk and just take a nap. Commercials are playing right now. See, that's why you don't under any circumstances change the dial because all the other radio stations, they do nothing but play commercials. Seriously, who are we to talk Dave says as we just come out of a commercial break that lasted like eight and a half minutes. Oh, come on, you get great content like this. We've got to pay the bills somehow. I don't even remember what I was talking about. Now, I, of course, I didn't say anything yet. You're interrupting me constantly. The constant interruptions that we had Adam Mealon on. He
announced that he's running for Waka Shaw County executive in the three o'clock hour big story broken about David Crowley actually using hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money to lobby the state legislature. But you didn't know Milwaukee County has its own lobbyists on staff. Well, it does. And we pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobby for such insane things as to set aside hundreds of thousands more dollars for illegal immigrants to access a legal aid fund for their immigration attorneys. In other words, David Crowley, and this was not years ago. This was literally a 2025 bill. He wants illegal immigrants in the state of Wisconsin so badly that he wants to provide them with free legal aid so they can access immigration attorneys. And when I say free, I mean paid for by you, John Q taxpayer. He also came out in favor of and
sicked his lobbyists as Milwaukee County executive on supporting a bill, multiple bills that were co-written by Francesca Hong that would not allow ICE agents to cover their faces to protect them from doxing attempts by David Crowley and Francesca Hong voters. Yes, I will dare to guess that every single person who would dox an ICE agent would vote for either David Crowley or Francesca Hong. You also had bills that your tax dollars were lobbying in support of now. Does everybody know what lobbying means? I mean, I assume everybody goes, yes, Dan, of course, we know that means David Crowley was paying people who would go to legislators and try to convince them to pass bills that would not allow any local agency in Wisconsin to cooperate with ICE, including
sheriff's department that would be no longer able to house illegal aliens in their jail, have 287 G agreements that would allow ICE to set detainers on these people and then just come pick them up. This is a radical radical County executive who now wants your vote to be an even more radical Wisconsin governor and Democrats, by the way, are already licking their chops at all of the insane pro illegal immigration stuff they would be able to do if they win the trifecta. They win the Senate, they win the assembly and David Crowley wins the governor's mansion. That's not beyond the realm of possibility and that frankly would be terrifying. So Tom Tiffany yesterday was do we have this? Oh, yes, okay, we do. Tom Tiffany was on the Dan O'Donnell show yesterday
and I asked him because it was sort of a bubbling controversy that he was not going to take part in the Wisconsin broadcasters association debate. The WBA and just to be clear, I think the WBA is a fantastic organization. They do lobbying work on behalf of local broadcasters. In fact, they do very, very good work. They are a very good professional organization for all of us in the broadcasting industry in Wisconsin. I've got no beef with the WBA at all except for the way they've handled their debates. One of the moderators is a very, very, very liberal activist hack. Her name is Jill Geisler. She is a retired or I don't know if she's actually, she's a professor emeritus, I believe, down at Loyola Chicago. They have this woman
moderate every single debate. We went at Heartland Post and documented all of her examples of DEI activism. She and fellow journalist Alfredo Carbohal organized programs for, quote, diverse emerging leaders beginning in 2012. The program traces its roots to the NLA news leaders associations emerging leaders institutes minority leadership institute eventually became known as the emerging leaders institute for diversity, equity and inclusion. Now her advocacy for DEI extends well beyond this. 2019 she led a webinar on unconscious bias. She praised the New York Times controversial 1619 project which sought to reframe American history as iridimably racist,
rooted in slavery and systemic racism, arguing that America was not founded 250 years ago and 1776. Rather when the first slave ship arrived on American shores in 1619, 2022 column she wrote about inclusive leadership and ally ship. She wrote that women people of color at LBGTQ employees are often burdened with additional work, combating quote, bias ignorance, hate inequity and injustice. Invisible work Geisler is referring to includes participating on diversity committees and being included on task forces to build out diversity. The same practices that Geisler herself has called essential work and has encouraged newsrooms to pursue. Geisler also said that managers should recognize and reward participation in DEI activities by building it into evaluation and compensation
structures. 2020 following the death of George Floyd Geisler urged journalists covering protests and riots to not just cover protest stories, but to also quote start covering systemic racism while calling on journalists to actively take up the mantle of the social justice cause. Geisler also called for a re-examination of the role that majority white newsrooms have played in framing news coverage over the years, including chastising reporters for covering overnight crime rather than exploring the systemic complexities of the criminal justice system Geisler by the way is white. That from our staff over at the heartland post does that sound like somebody who is going to be at all fair to Tom Tiffany. No. So Tiffany said you know what? Look one debate is enough and I've
looked at the debate moderators that we are going to have Matt Smith and Jared Jordan and found them to actually be fair. Here he is on my show yesterday. So there was lots of negotiations going on behind the scene that WBA had offered us to do the debate and then we talked to others including WIFS and it ultimately both camps agreed to the WIFS and the debate and we agreed to do a one-to-bate. One debate is sufficient to be able to cover the issues that need to be covered and having been through more than a few debates over the years, more in Congress and in state legislature. One debate we're going to be able to cover the critical issues before people state was content and I think that is going to be spent. So ultimately you just said hey let's do one debate. Why choose the channel 12 debate over WBA? In watching how Matt Smith and Darren Jordan have done their job in regards to
Democrat debate as well as interviews they're doing they do and stuff like that. I think they are very fair and they set up what appears to make for a good mix. And they don't write extensively about America's systemic racism. Good to see a Republican finally standing up and saying look if you reveal yourself to be an irredeemable liberal hack that's fine. Don't expect me to submit to the you moderating our debate. Like these sorts of things matter and if Jill Geisler is going to write extensively about systemic racism what sort of bias do you think she's going to have in moderating that debate.

Stephen Avery case making a murderer I remember that went all too well because I was intimately involved in that one but it's just sort of that last gasp of okay before our lives are just consumed by politics and now you have of course the midterm convention getting underway in Dallas president trump is going to speak tonight but the biggest thing that I think people should take away that we should all remember about the Lindsey clancy case now that the jurors who apparently were convinced from the very beginning of this trial before hearing any evidence that Lindsey clancy was not guilty by reason of temporary insanity that there are very serious limits to the jury system in america in 2026 especially when you have got one political movement on the left actively pushing jury nullification the idea that for political reasons jures should acquit defendants and yes there are liberal groups that have been actually doing jury nullification
classes this is not just a hypothetical this is actually going on and I think what you saw in the Lindsey clancy case was not necessarily jury nullification because the case isn't technically over the first trial ended in a mistrial after jurors were unable to come to a unanimous verdict but you had women and it is incredibly instructive we played one of the sound bites last night it was just starting to come in it was on the nightly news and I believe it was the fox news affiliate in Boston they got a bunch of these jurors together and they were of course the three of the nine four of the nine jurors who were voting for not guilty by reason of insanity there was one hold out juror he was a man who just could not be swayed he could not be convinced to join the other eleven jurors because he said no beyond any reasonable doubt beyond any doubt Lindsey clancy was competent
when she killed her three children for we dive into that carpetland USA flooring center talk and text line always open it for one four seven nine nine eleven thirty my email address dodead iheartmedia dot com at dano donnell show on x facebook instagram youtube watch us streaming live everywhere and check out the dano donnell show podcast on iheart radio or wherever you listen to podcasts one of those jurors had just an all-timer of a quote about this hold out juror who according to her just couldn't get past the fact that Lindsey brutally murdered her three children we would highlight it and you know so and so this is the definition of reason of the being at the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsey viciously killed her children yes how dare he refused to get off the fact that Lindsey viciously murdered her children how how dare he
we're just gonna look past that because we want to what stand up for feminism for women's rights that same juror none of them have been identified for rather obvious reasons so they're just saying okay this is juror number six this juror number eight this same woman was asked was there anything right away when the prosecution made its opening statements that kind of you hung on to what this woman said should send chills down the spine of anybody who cares about the jury system about the concept of justice being blind and jurors only taking into account evidence they heard at trial she basically admitted yet i was biased against the prosecution from the very beginning i'm wondering what your reaction was to the prosecution's opening statement there were some things that they said in their statement that i thought got a reaction out of you on day one of of i just found
it to be harsh so very very harsh i mean again and maybe we're talking about with ourselves here but the fact that they had no character witnesses to in we got to Lindsey of being a bad mother i mean right out of the gate it's like you're presenting all these medical professionals but nobody's presenting and for the prosecution a woman and a mother of three children so i found to be biased right out of the gate i found them also to be kind of unprofessional and just without a heart and for me that a right away i was like okay where is this going right from statement one there is no compassion in this courtroom right now which i guess is is expected of a prosecution but i thought it was very cold towards the woman who viciously murdered her three children
this this juror was was concerned that the people prosecuting her for the vicious strangulation murder of her three young defenseless children she was very concerned there was no compassion for the murderer i i am i am floored by that the prosecution in making its opening argument was biased towards Lindsey being a cold-hearted murderer and they didn't show compassion in their opening argument in which they argue that the evidence will show Lindsey Clancy is a cold-hearted murderer this woman was upset that there was no compassion and they were biased in trying to show that Lindsey Clancy was a cold-hearted murderer do i have that right
i i am honestly i am rarely speechless at someone's i there was no chance they were ever going to get a conviction these women clearly had their minds made up before they heard a single second of testimony now you compare that these these three jurors all sitting down with the reporter they're all talking about this you contrast the lack of compassion and empathy that they heard from the prosecution with how much compassion for Lindsey her defense attorney Kevin Reddington had this is so demeanor yeah is um was funny and there was one time whatever he said i don't know but i went because he was he was entertaining which was good because we
needed some about yeah and arrogant at the same time yes like arrogant in entertaining he would go back and forth between that yeah like compassionate yes through his with his arrogance yeah his compassion towards Lindsey was amazing i i think we need to shut down the jury system until we can figure out what the hell is going on i i am almost dead serious about this how can these women be tasked with i i don't want to sound as arrogant but hopefully i will be as compassionate and as funny and as lovable as Kevin Reddington when i say the average person like the reasonable person standard is sort of the backbone of American jurisprudence what would a reasonable person what would an ordinary prudent person do in this situation i don't think that works when the
ordinary prudent person is apparently a freaking moron the you are taught in probably any law school in america that the only thing that matters in a criminal or a civil case is the facts of the case and the law that governs them apparently how funny and charming and compassionate or cold the attorney is matters way more and look every trial attorney who has ever lived would tell you this but it's just it's jarring when apparently nothing was decided on the actual evidence that was presented this to me was the most damning statement though one of the jurors said there were multiple nurses who were in that jury room now juries are not supposed
to draw anything but the evidence presented at trial and the relevant law they are not to for example the the whole reason that we have expert witnesses who are brought in to testify on behalf of a prosecution or defense is so lay people can understand what some highly technical things might actually mean in the case of the clancy case there were expert witnesses to testify on the effects of medication and what mixing some of the medications that clancy was mixing would have on her mental state there were several nurses in that jury room who this juror admits to a reporter actually tapped into their own experiences that no no no my experience with this you are not supposed to do that that is grounds for a mistrial right there he really did not take she's she's
talking about the one hold out juror who she is scolding here he's scolding him because he didn't listen to the nurses the multiple nurses in the jury room who are telling him no no no ignore your own interpretation of the evidence that you heard I am the expert here you must listen to do you have any idea how bad this is he really did not take anything that anybody said the nurses he he tried to ask a question about the medications and we went back to the report from South for a hospital we had the toxicology report we could see exactly the amounts the nurses in the room spoke to that and told the jury there were nurses all the jury yes all right spoke to that that specific thing that was a question that he had and he just completely disregarded the information
that they gave which he should have because they're not supposed to give information that is not presented at the trial that they had just all watched I am I am continually amazed especially when you have multiple liberal organizations including defund six what are defend six one two excuse me this was in Minneapolis this is probably the most famous recent example of liberal groups actually teaching jury nullification if you find yourself on a jury who is trying say an illegal immigrant for a crime they commit they they actually set up tell us sessions entitled the people's pardon or jury nullification this is marketed as protecting
local heroes who were resisting ice enforcement so if someone was arrested for say viciously beating an ice agent defend six one two would teach people how to potentially get on a jury and typically part of this trade this was big in the post George Floyd peak woke era which of course the left is admitting is not still going on but it's totally still going there so well yeah yeah peak woke was crazy what what a aoc say a couple of weeks ago woke one was crazy well now we're in woke two and it's sort of gone underground but it's the exact same sort of insanity you have got people who are literally leading courses to get people on the juries who will then a quit based not on the evidence presented at trial but rather on politics freedom trainers is a network that is
sponsored by community change which of course is a George Soros group it is held webinars and training aimed at committed people who attempt to get on to juries survive what's known as war deer or jury selection they are taught to avoid signaling an agenda or ever mentioning jury nullification say they'll listen to the evidence but once they're seated the instruction is to vote not guilty for any reason the focus according to the Washington free beacon includes federal prosecutions brought by the trump justice department so if the justice department under Donald Trump brings a prosecution you are to get on a federal jury and no matter what the charges drug dealing murder anything you are to get on as a radical committed leftist get on the jury
and even if you think even if you know even if you are convinced beyond any reasonable doubt or any doubt whatsoever of the guilt of the defendant because it is the trump justice department that brought the case you are to vote not guilty how can you possibly have how can you possibly have a rule of law that coexist with people who do this in well-funded organizations like freedom trainers free dc is another one this is a prison abolition group they have hosted in person juror education or juror information project sessions across Washington dc according to the Washington examiner trainers have told attendees not to wear activist clothing or display political symbols to present as neutral during war deer the sessions then frame nullification as a way to counter prosecutions they view as politically motivated or as part of a
broader anti incarceration agenda another group known as Harriet's wildest dreams is also currently hosting workshops in and around Washington dc and the surrounding suburbs now the Harriet Tubman's wildest dreams because you see she is just as Harriet Tubman led slaves to freedom Harriet's wildest dreams and the jurors who infiltrate these juries are freeing presumably black people from the over incarceration of the prison industrial complex again even if they committed horrific crimes there are left wingers who just because they hate the police they hate the trump administration they hate the justice system as well we are going to infiltrate the system which is based on the social contract the social contract is that you get a jury of your peers just every day ordinary
people who will look at the evidence keep an open mind and decide your guilt or innocence based solely on the evidence presented and how your behavior comported with or violated the law and we can't have that because you have got activists with a hardcore anti-America anti capitalist anti legal system anti everything agenda that are literally instructing people to do apparently what the Lindsey Clancy jurors did with no instruction whatsoever but they said okay well here you've got this woman who is clearly struggling with postpartum depression or psychosis doesn't really matter its society's fault she didn't get enough help from her husband she didn't get enough paid child care she had a like full-time nanny that didn't seem to matter but it was not her fault it she could not be held criminally liable their minds were made up and
frankly folks my mind is kind of made up as well so long as there it are forces within this society who are hell bent on corrupting every single aspect of the justice system the justice system yes I know it is a well-worn constitutional precept that you are allowed a trial by jury of your peers at which you are entitled to present a defense before said jury but my goodness when you have people who literally as a a fundamental element of their political parties agenda as as a stated portion of their political platform the erasure of the United States Constitution and all of the rights that it affords its citizens in the bill of rights and all of the limitations on government and the replacement of said constitution with a revolutionary anti-American anti-Western anti-human
agenda I just don't see how the jury system is fundamentally viable when you have people hell bent on subverting it to that degree you're listening to the Dan Ode violated state law by sending out duplicate absentee ballots in two consecutive elections in 2026 and misused her discretion in managing her office a Republican party of Wisconsin filed a complaint following the April spring election Jeffrey's office sent out two different absentee ballots to 152 voters the June reprint sent a second ballot to an estimate estimated 244 voters ahead of the August 11th primary and as the city admitted in its own filings before the Wisconsin elections commission possibly as many as 390 voters had two ballots a summary of the issues in the staff
materials presented for this morning's meeting stated quote when a clerk maintains records of her actions and procedures that are so poor that she is unable to tell afterwards whether she had sent out 240 duplicate absentee ballots or 390 of them she has misused her discretion this from heartlandpost.com for each race the city said it recorded only one ballot per voter but that was not the standard the commission applied Wisconsin law allows an elector to receive one absentee ballot for each request it should never happen that the state or rather that the same elector receives two identical live ballots commission staff stated in July when they had first had reason to believe that green Bay had broken several Wisconsin statutes the commission took no further
action against Celestine Jeffries who resigned her position on August 7th. The republicans said in May this would happen after the duplicate ballots were sent out in April Green Bay's lawyers told the Wisconsin election commission that the statute does not impose liability for inadvertent duplication and that since no second ballot had been counted no violation of Wisconsin election laws had taken place. Republicans responded in their filing by saying a clerk who does not believe the law prohibits the issuance of duplicate ballots cannot be trusted to prevent from happening again less than three months later it happened again I I don't even know where to begin with this woman Jeffries who was appointed in 2021 to run elections in Wisconsin's third
largest city was found in December of 2023 to have likely violated state law by accepting accepting absentee ballots returned by a third party for a voter who is merely described as sick and not disabled in 2024 she acknowledged that for several elections she had not deactivated election day registrants after confirmation postcards came back undeliverable a step state law requires do you know what this woman was doing before Green Bay's hack liberal Democrat mayor Eric Genrick appointed her as city clerk she was not managing charcoal grills and that's way too soon Dave Dave Chimes in she was managing the charcoal charcoal grill announced that it's five remaining locations are going to shut down forever I don't if if Celestein Jeffries was in charge of charcoal grill management they would have gone out of business 10 years ago and she would have
been selling black market stakes out of the back of the kitchen there is nothing that will convince me that these were merely harmless errors do you know why we're going to get into that in just a second the long sorted history of Celestein Jeffries as the chief of staff for mayor Eric Genrick in the thoroughly corrupt way the 2020 presidential election was handled and why it was inevitable that putting this woman in charge of subsequent elections was going to result in more violations of law once again just as I have asked that the FBI look into how Milwaukee handled the 2026 democratic primary because we still do not have good answers as to how the woman who is apparently even less competent than Celestein Jeffries could not read hey you're about to download the audit logs and not
the vote total and she repeated that erroneous step five different times we still do not have so you're saying that the woman is so functionally illiterate that we need to put pictures up so that she will know to download the actual vote totals in November you're saying that level of incompetence is not enough to fire her her name is Marisha Harris she's one of the top deputies to the Milwaukee election commissions executive director Celestein Jeffries though this does not strike me as incompetence because in 2020 she and Genrick were actually conspiring very illegally with a third party private organization funded by so-called Zuckerbox to usurp the proper election administration from the then green Bay City clerk who quit in frustration and despair after brown
counties clerk said green Bay simply went rogue who was leading the charge on that none other than Celestein Jeffries we will get into that when the Danah to multiple voters in multiple elections in back-to-back elections we had the spring election she either mails out 250 or 390 duplicate ballots she has no idea how many ballots are out there so there are hundreds of ballots in the wild that are just totally unaccounted for this is the now former city clerk of green Bay Wisconsin elections commission voted unanimously today that Jeffries violated the law she's been violating the law for literally her entire tenure and even before as city clerk because before she was city clerk she was the chief of staff to green Bay's Democrat Mayor Eric Genrick in 2020 the city clerk was Chris Treskey Treskey was supposed to run the election the
only problem was the so-called Wisconsin five the five biggest cities in Wisconsin the Milwaukee Racine Kadozha Madison and green Bay all entered into a contract with a group of organizations that were funded by the so-called Zuckerbucks Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg funded organizations that tried to maximize voting at home in fact the national vote at home institute was one of the big organizations that was leading this charge and Zuckerberg was entering into contracts with local municipalities all of them big Democrat turnout hubs places where there were massive amounts of Democrat votes and the ideal was to get as many people voting at home or as many people voting as many people in the Democrat vote hubs as possible to vote you see where the scam is here the idea as
well we just want to increase voter participation that's a good thing right well when all your efforts are increasing voter participation in Democrat areas it's pretty obvious you're trying to illegally influence Democrat votes by essentially taking over voting operations taking over election management in these cities in green Bay they actually did the national vote at home institutes Michael Spitzer Rubenstein who had no tie to Wisconsin he's from New York he moved back to New York as soon as the 2020 election was over he basically took over for Trezky in direct violation of Wisconsin statute 7.15 which requires that the municipal clerk is in charge of running and supervising the elections there was a well documented paper trail Trezky going to the brown county clerk
Sandy Juno and saying look green Bay has totally gone rogue here what am I supposed to do about two weeks before the 2020 election she resigned she threw up her hands and said I'm being sidelined I can't the center for tech and civic life was also one of the organizations that gave the Zucker Bucks grants to the tune of $1.6 million Spitzer Rubenstein of the partner organization national vote at home institute actually worked on the planning the layout of early voting ballot handling discussions he ran central count operations only appointed election officials may conduct an election there were tons of issues at central count ballot curing observer access pull workers viewing marked ballots this all amounted to almost certain misconduct in public office by both
Celestine Jeffries and Eric Genrich Brown County clerk Sandy Juno later testified about green going rogue green Bay's city attorney Vanessa Chavez in a 19 page report in April of 2021 concluded there were no issues affecting election integrity but she actually inadvertently admitted to exactly what it was that I was getting to the bottom of what I was alleging back in 2020 with serious misconduct in public office by virtue of private organizations illegally taking control of voting just imagine just imagine if the national vote with Dan institute took over voting in New Berlin, Wisconsin one of the most conservative communities in one of the most conservative
counties in the state Walker Shaw County the national vote with Dan institute just takes over all voting we are managing all of the like would any liberal ever trust that well no no national vote with Dan they make voting much easier with New Berlin's em battled mayor the even if you did national vote with a Muslim institute now because it's illegal for good reason because you don't know the biases or in this case we do exactly what the biases were I was at the time these grants were submitted saying screaming from the high hill tops this is illegal they you cannot partner with private organizations to handle voting this has to be done by the people who are appointed to handle the voting Celestein Jeffries was the one running point for the city of green bay knowingly willfully
violating at least five state statutes and now the Wisconsin elections commission admits that she violated even more statutes by sending out duplicate ballots that she now cannot keep track of she is now say yeah it might have been 240 might have been 390 really who can tell how are we possibly supposed to trust the outcome of an election when the people who are in charge have no idea even how many ballots they sent out you're listening it is Wednesday night football no real surprise here predictions for the upcoming season I believe that the packers are going to be better than people think the defense was a completely different unit after the ACL tear suffered by Micah Parsons Packers didn't win a game after Parsons went down and that was pretty much the story of last season they were beating and beating pretty good the team that was number one in the
AFC last year a team that I expect to be very very good as well this year the Denver Broncos Parsons gets hurt Packers lose that game they do not win another game the rest of the season including that heartbreaking playoff loss to the Chicago Bears I think the offense is going to be a lot better I really do believe that I was never really a big fan of Don Tavy and Wicks Romeo dobs is talented but I believe the Packers have better options behind Christian Watson who can't stay healthy but still got that big big contract in the offseason the Packers clearly believe in him if Tucker craft is back healthy I think the offensive line is going to be a lot better and Matthew Golden is a star in the making Jaden Reed is a great number two wide receiver but I think he works best in the slot in three receiver sets if you're going to run two wide receivers and maybe have Tucker craft going out as well as that third option Matthew Golden showed in that playoff game that he is your guy now of
course all of the questions surround the running game Josh Jacobs is very likely folks just not going to play I think at all this season he's on the commissioners exempt list yes I know he moved up his court hearing he's trying to get this case done as quickly as possible so he can serve his NFL suspension it would not shock me if the Packers cut him it just would not depending on how Caleb Johnson and March on Lloyd play in his absence the Packers may just decide that Jacobs isn't worth the trouble and cut bait with him yes I know there are some legal ramifications there beyond the Packers NFC North looks to be dramatically improved I hate to say it but I think Minnesota is going to be a lot better with Kyler Murray as their quarterback the Chicago Bears the lofty expectations for how good that offense is going to be and then the Detroit Lions who seem to have missed their championship window but also have a very very good high powered offense and at least
a stout enough defense NFC North might be one of the better divisions in football in terms of the NFL writ large boy oh boy when you are as good a defense as the Los Angeles Rams are as good an offense and then you add the reigning NFL defensive player of the year and convince one of the best defenders in the NFL to come out of retirement in Aaron Donald to pair with Miles Garrett I have a difficult time seeing the Los Angeles Rams not representing the NFC and the Super Bowl but that's why they play the games ladies and gentlemen and if there's one thing we know about the NFL it's full of surprises season kicks off tonight I know I'm going to be watching because frankly what else is there to do on a Wednesday night right Packers kick off the season 325 Sunday afternoon have a wonderful evening Wisconsin we are back 306 tomorrow Thursday afternoon we do it all again here
