The fallout continues from the Sarah Rodriguez scandal.

Democrats now find themselves in the unenviable position of likely being stuck with the very candidate that they tried for months and months and months to deny the gubernatorial nomination Mandela Barnes. But the choice for them is either Barnes, a buffoon, who cost them, the 2022 Senate race against Ron Johnson, or a full communist socialist takeover led by Francesca Hong. Speaking of the socialists, they are indeed communists. I did something that very rarely you will see in mainstream media. If ever, I actually went to the Democratic Socialists of America Party platform and got an idea of what it is they stand for. In essence, folks, they want to abolish the Constitution itself and replace it with a new constitution of their own design. What could possibly go wrong?

Big political news today had absolutely nothing to do with Sarah Rodriguez, and some might be a little suspicious of the timing of this, as if to potentially take away the attention from the Sarah Rodriguez scandal. The Wisconsin Elections Commission, or Weck, has finally decided to crack down... on election shenanigans election bribery they are finally referring criminal charges against someone for something done that was improper and in wex opinion in a five one decision today illegal criminally felonious a violation of wisconsin's election bribery statute would you believe they are recommending charges against Elon Musk That's right, the world's first trillionaire now faces a referral to the Brown County District Attorney's Office for potential criminal charges. for violating Wisconsin statute 12.11, which is a blanket prohibition on election bribery. That is offering anything of value in order to induce any elector to go to the polls, vote or refrain from voting or vote for or against a particular person or referendum. This stems from not this past spring's Supreme Court election here in Wisconsin, but in the spring of 2025.

You might remember that this was for control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. 2026 was not. Liberals, though, took a massive 5-2 advantage. ideologically on the court with chris taylor's election and a 20 point blowout over maria lazar the conservative in that race in 2025 though it was by far the most expensive by far the most watched by far the most hyper political judicial election in the history of this country wisconsin blew it out of the water. The previous, most expensive, most political, most watched judicial election was the last election for ideological control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Suffice it to say that the national political world thinks enough of Wisconsin status as perhaps the ultimate swing state that the outside money just flows into this state. Now, you might remember. That forever, forever, Democrats had huge money advantages in these races. Really since 2019, 2020, Democrats just... dominated fundraising ironically enough given their relatively new socialist bent in the party it's because they had sort of this untapped reservoir of tech bro billionaires George Soros connected organizations the governor of illinois who is the ultimate in trust fund kids. He is an heir to the Hyatt Hotel Fortune. J.B. Pritzker always plays in Wisconsin politics to the tune of several million dollars per race. Jeffrey Epstein's BFF, LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, always one of the biggest donors to Democrat causes here in Wisconsin. And this was seen as a massive advantage. Well, When word got out, thanks in no small part to this show, that Susan Crawford was openly promising Democrat donors on a call that she would put two congressional seats in play if she were to be elected. In other words... She was promising to do exactly what happened over the past two years. The great redistricting wars of 2025 and 2026. She was saying, if you elect me, I am going to vote with the rest of the liberal majority to essentially make it impossible for Derrick Van Orden and Brian Stile to congressional Republicans in Wisconsin to win re-election because we're going to do exactly what we did at the state level.

Right after Janet Protissowitz was sworn in as the fourth liberal vote in 2023, the Supreme Court immediately took up a redistricting case, which led to a massive reordering, a gerrymander, a tonymander, if you will. The state legislature was forced to accept Governor Tony Evers' peoples' maps, which were very tilted towards Democrats, rather than risk what the liberals on the Supreme Court would do in draw. their own maps, which is what they threatened, if the two sides couldn't come up to an agreement on a map. That led immediately... to 10 gained seats in the state assembly for the Democrats in the 2024 election. It also led to four seats picked up in the state Senate. Democrats are now on the verge, especially in the Senate of winning control, and they believe that in 2026 they're going to be able to do so, not just in the Senate, but also in the state assembly. They want to do the exact same thing. here in the House of Representatives. Now, there has been an ongoing court battle over the effort to gerrymander Derrick Van Orden and style out of their seats. But this is where this started. Susan Crawford made this promise. It was reported on in the New York Times. I picked up on this and said, hey, this is insanely corrupt. You have got a candidate for a Supreme Court here in Wisconsin, essentially promising elect me, and I'm going to gerrymander Republicans out of their seats. clear attempt to get national democrat money into this race saying hey we can impeach trump wisconsin's two congressional seats might be the two that put us over the top Well, once word got out about this, national Republican money started flowing in, including Elon Musk, who was just starting to openly dabble in conservative Republican politics, and he used his America pack to get into Wisconsin in a big way on behalf of the conservative Brad Schimel. You might remember it backfired. On inauguration day, Elon Musk made a... rather awkward gesture in which he said, my heart goes out to you, he put his hand over his heart, and then extended it to the crowd. In an interpretation of that move, that only a hyper-partisan, propagandistic national press could create a narrative emerged that Elon Musk made a Nazi salute. This made Elon Musk, who at the time had launched... Doge and what Democrats were really furious about was that he was finding and his team of nerds that were going into the federal government, finding all sorts of waste, fraud, and abuse. This led directly to the shuttering of USAID, which was funneling money to leftist causes, not just in America, but all across the globe. Elon Musk was public enemy number one. When he got involved in Wisconsin,

Democrats just stopped running against Brad Schimel. All of their ads made it seem as though Elon Musk was the opponent. Well, one way that Elon Musk attempted to get people interested in this race was to essentially offer payments. Originally, in a tweet, he said, if you come out to this big rally that I'm doing in Green Bay and you prove that you're going to vote, I'm going to give one lucky person at this rally a million dollars. It eventually became two one million dollars checks. Well, what happened was someone got in Elon Musk's ear, and this is like typical Elon Musk. He goes ahead with the great idea he has, and then somebody says, you know, Elon Musk, so that's totally illegal. We can do this, but here's how we have to do this. The giveaway was restructured so that Elon Musk set up a petition against activist judges. And if you signed the petition, you would be eligible for this random drawing for a million dollars. He gave out two million dollar prizes. There were lesser prizes, $100 a pop. And here's the thing. While I will freely and fully admit I was not comfortable with any of this because of how close it came to violating Wisconsin's election bribery statute and said so. You can actually go back to old shows saying, I don't think this is such a good idea because I have been railing about Democrats doing... largely the same thing for years, essentially inducing people to vote by giving them something a value. Remember the old smokes for votes statute? So a scandal, I should say, that was a clear violation of election bribery statute. When there is a wealthy lib socialite from New York who got people voting for Al Gore in the 2000 election, getting homeless people registered to vote by giving them cartons of cigarettes. That is a clear quid pro quo. Something of value defined as more than a dollar in exchange for voting or not voting or registering to vote or voting for or against a referendum. Elon Musk's giveaway. Although it was unseemly, it very clearly did not rise to the level of a crime. In fact, every single state court that Democrats desperately appealed to to try to get this event stopped. It was held on March 30th, 2025 was rejected. Every lower court had rejected attempts to halt the payments to stop the event that Elon Musk was holding in Green Bay. And the day of the event, the Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously declined to hear an emergency petition filed by the Democrat AG Josh Kual looking to block the giveaway. Reason given, it does not violate state statute. Not only that.

signing a petition is protected political speech and any infringement on political speech is a violation of the first amendment This was actually settled in a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court case called Brown v. Hartledge. Now, Brown, during his campaign, he was running for something in Kentucky, I forget what, but he said he was, oh, his county commissioner. That was he was going to serve as a local county commissioner, but would not take the minimum legally allowable salary. He said he's going to save taxpayers money by taking less money in salary than even state law said he could. He was actually hit for election bribery. The Supreme Court, because, you know, obviously he's making a promise. He is saying, I am going to give you something of value taxpayers. I am going to give you my salary in exchange for voting for me. It's sort of a tenuous, you know, link. But that was the argument. Supreme Court held that a candidate's political speech or any political speech, including campaign promises to voters about what they're going to do, what a candidate is going to do once in office. is not and cannot be considered bribery unless there is and this is the key thing here unless there is a quid pro quo for private gain in exchange for votes if there is not a payment made explicitly for voting if there is a payment made for signing a petition that is political speech That is actually allowable. If I were to say, let's have a petition. Let's start a change.org petition to get Sarah Rodriguez to drop out of this gubernatorial election. And I say, I'm going to give everybody who signs a dollar. I'm going to Venmo you a dollar. Is that election bribery? It is not. You're not voting. I'm not saying I am going to give you that dollar in exchange for voting against Sarah Rodriguez or refusing to vote for any candidate in the Democrat primary. I am saying if you take part in my survey, in my petition, I am going to pay you. That essentially is what Elon Musk did. Now, Could he be hit by the Wisconsin Elections Commission for violating the spirit of the law? Theoretically, yes. Is it ridiculous that he is being referred for criminal charges, that America pack? And what would happen is it's likely not going to be Elon Musk himself if, in fact, there are criminal charges filed, which I would be frankly shocked, folks, if there were any charges filed.

What's going to happen is you may see the America PAC organization itself hit with an election bribery charge. The hope is that there's a quickie plea of no contest and there's a fine paid. My guess, though, is that this isn't going to be prosecuted because of that longstanding tradition. But again, the Wisconsin Elections Commission proves that the only sort of misconduct that they will ever go after is all going one way, even if it's not misconduct at all. Elon Musk did not violate state statute. Elon Musk, in fact, could argue that the state of Wisconsin is infringing on his First Amendment rights by criminalizing his right to publicize his petition against activist judges how he sees fit. You're listening to the Dan O'Donnell Show. We will be right back in just a second. Welcome back to the Dan O'Donnell Show. Conservative thought, not just talk. The Democratic Party of Wisconsin has been utterly desperate, utterly desperate to avoid... Mandela Barn. You'll have to forgive me, folks. We are having some issues with the stream here. We'll get those figured out in just a second. We've got some camera issues that I was trying to tend to. Mandela Barnes was always going to be a frontrunner if and when he decided to run for governor. He did, despite Democrats trying desperately to convince him not to. In fact, the New York Times quoted numerous Democrats in October of this past year as saying, you know what, Mandela, maybe it's better that you don't actually get in this race. Barbara Lawton, like Barnes, former Democrat lieutenant governor, tells the New York Times article published October 21st, 2025. He proved to us beyond a shadow of a doubt that he can't run hard enough and give us a winning campaign on a statewide basis. Ouch. Youch. Now, this was, critically, while Barnes was mulling that run, while he was saying, you know what, I might get in. I might not, I don't know what I'm going to do. I mean, he was always going to get in. I mean, it was always going to be sort of feta complete that Barnes was going to get in. There was an early poll that was done in early fall of last year that basically said he was going to run away with the nomination if he got in. In fact, this poll was so big.

for Barnes that it scared Josh Cole right out of the race. Cole decided not to run. He said he was going to instead run for Attorney General again. But in an effort to keep Barnes out of the race, you had a number of Democrats coming out and telling the Times that they didn't really think Mandela was going to be a strong candidate because of how poorly he did in that 2022 U.S. Senate race. And the day after that New York Times story dropped, the Milwaukee Courier, a local black-owned newspaper. Published in editorial, Warning Barnes, he wouldn't enjoy the automatic support that he got from Milwaukee's black community and the Democratic Party at large. And he should actually think twice about whether he really wanted to run for God. This is just brutal stuff coming from the Milwaukee Courier. In politics, the courier's editorial noted, you earn your next opportunity by delivering on the last one. And in 2022, Mandela didn't. That Senate seat was ours to win. He had the national support. He had the resources. He had the attention. And still he came up short. And what's more telling, instead of spending the past two years organizing here at home, building bridges and proving he learned from that loss, what we've seen is a campaign in waiting with no clear rationale other than a desire to try again. That's not enough. Those articles don't just happen in a vacuum. That doesn't just randomly occur. These are Democratic Party insiders telling Mandela Barnes, hey, you had your shot, you blew it. There is so much lingering bitterness at Mandela for squandering the millions of dollars and open primary that he had running far behind Tony Evers on the same ballot they wanted. Democrats wanted Ron Johnson gone. Now Johnson is the chair of the very powerful Senate Budget Committee following the death of Lindsey Graham. He's more powerful than he ever was before. Democrats are looking at that and saying, we could have taken out Ron Johnson in 2022, but Barnes was such a buffoon that while Evers won re-election by three points in a Wisconsin gubernatorial race, that is considered a relatively safe win. Barnes lost by about a point. He ran four points behind Tony Evers, probably the ultimate generic Democrat. Barnes

has been something of, I don't want to call him a laughing stock on the left. He's certainly a laughing stock on the right. We have had all sorts of fun over the years poking fun at Mandela Barnes for failing to pay his property taxes, failing to pay his parking tickets, all of the various stupid things that he said. But he was always sort of seen like Joe Biden. He was never taken real seriously. That's why it was sort of surprising that in late July of 2022, just a couple of days before the August 9th primary, while in-person early voting was going on, I've been saying since then that two candidates were basically forced to drop out of the race. It was actually three. I completely forgot about Tom Nelson, who was the out of Gatigate County Executive. Tom Nelson, Sarah Godluski, and Alex Lazarie all dropped out of the race while voting was going on. Why would you do that unless you were forced to, unless you were induced to? Clearly, Godluski was. Godluski... gave up her position as state treasurer to run for this Senate seat. She was rewarded with the position of Secretary of State when Doug LaFollett won immediately retired, and then Evers, with very little fanfare, simply appointed her to the position. Not only that, Godluski is running for a lieutenant governor this year. There was not a single Democrat challenger to it. Do you think that's an accident? Every Democrat in the world is running for governor. Last time Republicans had an open lieutenant governor seat available. It was like 15 Republicans ran for that one. Only one Democrat this time around wanted to run for lieutenant governor. No, they were told that Sarah Goluski is being rewarded for doing what she was told and dropping out when she was told to hand the nomination to Mandela. It backfired spectacularly. Johnson came out firing from the very get-go. As soon as that primary was done, he hit Mandela hard. So Democrats said, we're not going to do this again. Mandela don't run. Okay, Mandela is running. We're not going to boost him at all. But what happened was Mandela, because he's not a very good candidate, was really sort of coasting on just name recognition. The reason that Mandela was dominating early polling was simply because most Democrats had no idea who else was running for governor. So they said, yeah, we support Mandela because they couldn't think of anybody else. But what happened was because Mandela didn't really do anything on the campaign trail, an actual socialist snuck in and was able to run to Mandela's left, worked far harder than he did, and actually captured the far left socialist Madison vote that Mandela was supposed to clean up in, that Mandela was supposed to do so well in that Josh Cole didn't even want to try to compete for that vote.

Now, Hong threatens the Democratic Party with a complete and total socialist takeover. It's not that the mainstream Democrats, like Sarah Godluski, like Sarah Rodriguez, like the chairman, Devin Remaker, like anybody else, David Crowley, Cavalier. It's not that they don't believe in socialist principles espoused by the DSA. They absolutely do. It's that the DSA would get in and replace or primary all of them. But now with the implosion of Sarah Rodriguez, the Democrats are left with a really bad choice, either accept that takeover, except the socialists becoming the main force in the Wisconsin Democratic primary and the Democratic Party itself or roll with Mandela again. We'll get into this in a little bit greater depth. I actually wrote about this in a column for The Heartland Post. That's coming up. Hanging out at the pool is great.

Now, coming up after the top of the hour news, we will get the very latest on what is going on in Iran.

President Trump says the Strait of Hormuz is completely under American control, that the naval blockade on Iranian ports is back in effect. The president meeting today with the Iraqi Prime Minister, and we will get you to the Oval Office for that. Also, great report on CPI, the Consumer Price Index, inflation. What ultimately does that mean? And with the death of Lindsey Graham and the swearing in today of his sister Darlene as his interim replacement in the United States Senate, we will dive into the American gerontocracy. At no point in American history have we been governed by people this old or this much older than the general American population. We will dive into that. That's all coming up in the 4 o'clock hour. Then in the 5 o'clock hour, you are not going to want to miss this. Why was it such a big deal that Sarah Rodriguez imploded so spectacularly yesterday? Because she was the last best hope for establishment Democrats here in Wisconsin from stopping a takeover by the Democratic Socialists of America. We are going to get into what the DSA actually believes. Not what they're lying to you about what they believe. Oh, yes, we just want to be more like Norway. You all like Norway in the World Cup, Erling Holland. He lives in a socialist country. He most certainly does not. He lives in a tiny little country that is beyond wealthy with oil dollars. That has a population smaller than the size of Wisconsin. And by the way, I was just there last summer. Everything is insanely expensive because of all the sky high taxes. So not true socialism. What the DSA's end goal is, is communism. And we are actually going to go through the party's platform. In the 5 o'clock hour, also very instructive interview on, of all places, C-SPAN today with one of the top leaders of the Democrat Socialists of America. That is coming up in the 5 o'clock hour. Right now, though, I wrote a piece for our new website, The Heartland Post. It is the number one political website in Wisconsin. We are for the, boy, third, fourth straight month. Our viewership is just through the roof, our readership. We can't thank you enough for your support. We are conservatism's homepage here in Wisconsin. I serve as editor-in-chief. We have got a great staff of people, and I write columns for it. I produce videos for it every single day. Today, I wrote a column entitled, and Democrats are again stuck with Mandela Barnes. They did not want Barnes as their candidate.

But they now have no choice. Sarah Rodriguez is not going to be the nominee. In fact, I believe she is out of this race by Friday. It is my prediction. And speaking of which, my staff over at Heartland Post has a case of beer bet on exactly what time Sarah Rodriguez is going to drop out this week. We are literally betting on that. I'm not going to tell you who is betting on what. I'm actually not taking part of it. I'll tell you. I think it's going to be a Friday afternoon news dump. uh... and that she's going to be out it's going to be a press release at some point like four fifteen four thirty p m this friday afternoon i i have got a writer who says well the rodriguez campaign is so incompetent they're going to think they do a friday afternoon do news dump but i'm actually betting on four fifteen thursday afternoon because they send out the press release on the wrong day that's actually a pretty good theory Kelderoy's Joel Brennan have a combined three or four percent support in this primary. They are not going to be able to take out Francesca Hong, who is by far the leader in this primary. The only chance Democrats have of not getting taken over by socialists is to go with the candidate that they desperately tried to stop from even running in the first place, Mandela Barnes. As I wrote at the Heartland Post this morning, the DSA, Democratic Socialists of America, they don't just want candidates running under the Democratic Party banner. They want a full-scale takeover of the Democratic Party itself. That means current party leaders and elected officials who are not DSA members face immediate expulsion in a hostile takeover that poses an existential threat to Democrats here and across the country. And the only thing now standing in their way in Wisconsin is Mandela Barnes. Sarah Rodriguez's epic implosion amid a campaign finance scandal presents her with no path forward and she will likely drop out of the race soon. She had been the establishment's choice to consolidate around in the hopes of stopping the socialists and the party had just begun putting its plan for doing so into action. Both Missy Hughes and David Crowley were convinced to drop their own bids and endorse Rodriguez, and some believed that Joel Brennan would have been next had Rodriguez's scandal not blown up this week. He and Kelderoy's will now stay in the race in the desperate hope that the party will pick them as the anti-Hong candidate, but neither has been able to muster more than about 2% in any public poll. The only candidate who now has a chance to defeat Hong? The one Democrats have wanted to avoid nominating since even before he jumped in the race last year. The one who blew a must-win race four years ago despite being handed every single advantage. The one who might give Tom Tiffany a better chance of winning the general election than Hong does. It's Mandela Barnes, Democrats.

Whether you like it or not. That's me writing at the Heartland Post, heartlandpost.com. We do have that up at Dan O'Donnell's show on X and on Facebook. Barnes is very left wing. He is absolutely socialist in his beliefs, but because he is not a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. They can somewhat credibly claim that at least Barnes isn't a socialist because you know doggone well. The thing that has sort of energized Republicans and awoken them from their summer long political slumber has been the takeover of the communists in New York. followed almost immediately by a 15-term incumbent Democrat, far-left Democrat in the Denver area, also losing a primary to an open DSA socialist just a couple of weeks ago. The Democratic Socialists of America have their eyes set on Wisconsin as the big prize. A Midwestern state, a state seen as the ultimate swing state in every presidential election, if they can turn Wisconsin not just blue, but Soviet... red and gold, they think that they can convince Democrats and socialists across the country that the only way forward for the Democratic Party is in fact a complete socialist takeover, that they will be able to say, look, we won in Wisconsin. We're going to win everywhere. Your base, they're all socialists now. We're taking over. Thank you very much. Is that accurate? Maybe. Maybe not. Does the Democrat base want open socialism? Yes, I believe it does, but not at the expense of potentially winning general elections. The American people still do not want socialist leaders. So it's seen as a big disadvantage if you go into a true swing state or swing district. running on your ticket on open socialists that you're just not going to win. This is why the Tiffany campaign has done such a good job with what has come to its slogan, which is common sense versus crazy. This election is common sense versus crazy. Crazy still applies to Mandela Barnes. Democrats don't want to roll with that sort of crazy, but it's certainly preferable to Francesca Hong's brand of crazy. And folks, I just don't think Democrats have any other choice. Right now, after Rodriguez's implosion this week, it is Mandela Barnes or it is Francesca Hong and the socialist takeover at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. We're going to step aside for a break.

Such as someone, oh my gosh, I feel like we could play the theme song to the most intelligent thing Dan has heard all day. It's in the public domain. I don't want to risk it. Folks, we got an edict from corporate. Long technical story. We used to be able to play music on the radio that we would be able to automatically just not have play. on our podcasts. Well, something changed with the way our cloud computing works. So we can no longer do that. While we figure this out, we just can't play any theme music, anything like that. So while I would love to play the most intelligent thing Dan has seen all day, theme song, I can't. This is the sort of communique that will get you most likely blocked from our talk and text line. I can't do the music, but at least I can do the British accent to give this the level of intellect that it deserves. America has lost the war with Iran, period. Great day when America loses death to the Republic KKK clan party and T. Rump. After I came back from a break and said, this show represents a tour to force of truth, we got the message, truth my ass. Danny, you're a liar bitch. You're spelled, of course, Y-O-U-R. Then we have... Bitch Danny gets a great gig lying for three hours a day. Fears blacks, Latinos, and is a coward. Blacks, the plural, is spelled B-L-A-C-K, yes, apostrophe S. And also, coward is randomly capitalized. Ladies and gentlemen, this, oh, wait, there's one more. He had to let me know. Back to 101.7, The Truth. Your station is the truth. No crying here, bitch Danny girl, insecure grinder app member. Here, as in no crying here, is spelled H-E-A-R. Wildly, he did spell Grindr as in the app for gay hookups correctly. That was like the one thing that was spelled correctly. That, ladies and gentlemen, the most intelligent thing. That is absolutely hysterical, hysterical. This, ladies and gentlemen,

is the left. 101.7, the truth is that the inner city station run by good karma broadcasting? They got rid of it? Did they really? Well, maybe we're not the racist people over at the Dan O'Donnell Show. I have no idea. I actually know a number of people. Still a good karma brands. Great, great company, but... Some of the listeners, well, they need to get hooked on phonics, I think. Time now for the Daily Trump Date, your look at what's going on in Donald Trump's Washington. The Iran blockade is now in effect. All ports are closed down by the United States Navy. No ships will go into an Iranian port. No ships will come out of an Iranian report. The president says we now control the strait of Hormuz. President Trump today meeting in the Oval Office with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, and the two were, of course, discussing the situation in Iran, and President Trump had Zayidi at the White House to strengthen the partnership in getting American oil companies into Iraq to counter the... problem posed by Iran. Their primary, I consider an opponent, they might have considered a friend, but I consider that an opponent was Iran, was a big burden on Iraq because they were the bully of the Middle East, as you know, and we were just talking about that, but they're not going to have that problem anymore because Iran has been very much destabilized and really their military powers. just a tiny fraction of what it was just four months ago. So they're not going to have that problem. I think it's really, in a sense, it's given them freedom to do what they have to do. And I think that's one of the reasons that our oil companies are going in there at... levels that have never been seen before we will get into this in a little bit greater depth in just a second as we also talk about why oil prices have gone down taking the broader inflation readings down with them that coming up in just a second now the president did take a whole lot of questions from reporters as he often does at these things i i always find it funny when i'm watching these press conferences to just watch the other world leader sort of stare blankly perhaps not quite speaking the language fluently enough to pick up on everything that said. But Trump goes into like these long five-minute diatribes. And you've got, you know, the King of England just sort of staring there, just kind of sitting there like just chilling, just kind of watching everything go on. The president was asked whether he regrets the concessions that he gave to the Iranians in that failed ceasefire deal, such as... opening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the blockade, and stopping the relentless bombing of Iran. Given how the Iranians have been behaving, do you have any regrets about lifting the naval blockade or giving the sanctions waivers? No. I gave them a chance. I wanted to give them a chance at making a deal. You know, we had a deal two days ago. It was done. And then all of a sudden, they couldn't do it. They didn't like something about the deal. They couldn't do it.

And they shot first, and that was a big mistake that they shot first because we have been knocking the hell out of them. They're very difficult people. 47 years we put up with it. And the president said we're going to put up with it no longer. Now, President Trump did say yesterday that he is going to hold an address to the nation on Thursday night. It was just sort of assumed that he was going to talk about Iran, but... It's actually not going to be the status of the Iran war. It is going to be a major revelation with respect to election integrity. I'm anticipating your big announcement on Thursday day regarding election machines and integrity. Can you give us sort of a sneak peek about what you expect? Well, I'd rather save it. It will concern that subject. We'll have a couple of other things to say also. But I'd rather save it, but it's really big news. It's really, really big news. And our country has to shape up. But what we're going to be talking about Thursday is it doesn't get bigger because without free and fair elections, you don't have a country. We'll be discussing other things still. But it's going to be a very big announcement. Suffice it to say, I will be watching, and really the entire country should too. The president also touched on the tragic and sudden passing of his good friend, South Carolina's Senator Lindsey Graham, whose younger sister Darlene, was sworn in to replace him on an interim basis. Until this November's election, the Republican Party is going to have another candidate who is going to be on the ballot in Graham's place. But until the election, until the new Congress is sworn in, Darlene Graham is going to serve as the senator from South Carolina. The president said that a new bill imposing sanctions on Russia and secondary sanctions on countries that do business with Russia will be a tribute to Graham as he had pushed very hard for. This is in honor of Lindsay. This was his thing. He wanted this more than any other thing. You know, you know how he felt. And there's a good chance that it gets done. But they'd like to add Iran and they'd like to add Hezbollah to it. That's what I'm hearing. That, ladies and gentlemen, is your daily Trump date. Sizzling summer cash contest. Four o'clock word.

If your entry is picked at random, you win a thousand of those dollars. And we are playing each and every hour from now until I believe it's Friday, August 7th. Yep, Friday, August 7th, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every single weekday for nearly a month. It is our sizzling summer cash contest here on the Dan O'Donnell Show. All right. inflation report out today. And the Trump administration has been crowing about it all day. The headline CPI number is a seasonally adjusted minus 0.4%, meaning prices declined month over month by nearly a half a percent. That's the biggest one month decline since April of 2020. And you can imagine what we were dealing with back then.

That beat expectations of about minus 0.2%, 12-month non-seasonally adjusted change, 3.5% year over year down from 4.2% in May, below forecasts of 3.8%. The core CPI, stripping out the more volatile food and energy prices, was flat versus an expected plus.2%. Now, the big driver was what you think it is. Energy fell very sharply. 5.7% in June, the biggest monthly drop since 2020, led by a nearly 10% decline in gasoline. Now, the Trump administration is saying, look, look, look. Everything is going great. Well, gasoline was elevated because of what was going on in Iran. Now we have more uncertainty with respect to the Iranian situation, although I do believe Iran thoroughly defeated militarily, Karg Island seized, the ports shut down, the Strait of Hormuz. open and under American control patrolled by the American Navy and the American Air Force presents a much more stable situation than hoping and praying that the Iranians abide by a ceasefire deal after 47 consecutive years of them simply spitting on every deal that any government has ever struck with them. Trump himself was fond of saying, and this is a quote that was not his. I forget who it's attributed to. It was Iran has never won a war, but they have never lost a negotiation. And it seems as though the Trump administration sort of lost sight of that by trying desperately because, of course, his eye is toward the midterm election. But unfortunately, so too, is the remnants of the Iranian regime. They're saying, all right, well, if we can just wait Trump out, eventually he's going to have to fold because of domestic pressure at home from Democrats who are going to try to make political hay out of the supposed quagmire that isn't. Folks, I don't think I can stress to you enough how quickly. how effectively and how brutally the American military proved that it can just decimate a nation that we were told for the better part of those 47 years was militarily so strong that we had better not even try to take out the Iranians. We had better not even try to take out the Ayatollah because it is just going to make Afghanistan and Iraq look like a walk in the park. You do not want to kick that hornet's nest. Trump did, and Iran was effectively reduced to simply launching terroristic-style guerrilla attacks on merchant ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz such that when we say the Strait of Hormuz was shut down.

I think people get the wrong impression of what Iran was actually doing. It wasn't as though they have such a powerful navy that they've just got all of their battleships lined up right at the opening of the strait and they're not allowing any ships through. It's that they are launching random missiles. They're launching drone attacks. They're either launching kamikaze drones or drones that are outfitted with bombs or other weaponrys and guns or whatever. And they're firing on merchant ships. Well, these are ships that cannot possibly risk losing a sailor or losing any amount of cargo by traversing the strait. So they're not even trying. The Iranians are saying, okay, if you go in, not to mention all of the undersea mines that still remain under the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. So that's the the Strait of Hormuz was shut down by a last ditch defeated enemies terrorism. The United States has said, all right, enough of this. We're deploying the entire might of our fleet, which has been largely in a support role. We are going into the strait and we are just cleaning house. The U.S. has had what I am told is an incredibly effective bombing campaign that we are now largely in control of Karg Island, that the Iranians do not have any more capacity to even launch a random missile or two at a merchant ship in the strait because of just how brutally we have beaten them down. Frankly, I don't want to, with the benefit of hindsight, say, well, I told you so, but it was always pretty obvious. These are not the Arab leaders that you can negotiate with in good faith, that want to join the community of nations and want to open up their countries to tourism and broader partnerships with the Western world. These are Islamist, fascist, crazies who are brutally oppressive of their own people and critically, just like the North Korean Kim dictators, can't afford to be seen as anything but almost godlike and supernaturally strong by their own people. Otherwise, those people will revolt. In North Korea, those people are so starved that they're unable to revolt. They are so brutally repressed. every couple of years the iranian regime faces open defiance and open revolt in the streets well what happened shortly before the american bombing campaign that started on february twenty eighth is they took out tens of thousands of protest leaders and unfortunately because of that i think the original plan which was to immediately take out

All of the military infrastructure take out the leadership, and the United States was also targeting IRGC positions that were sort of doubling as police stations, which the regime would use to deploy very quickly if, in fact, there were any open revolts in the streets. The thinking was, I believe, that people would come out and they would topple the regime themselves. We'd all live happily ever after as we would have regime change in Iran that was effectuated by the Iranian people with air cover by the United States and Israel and its allies. That didn't happen because all of the people who would lead those protests were brutally massacred just a couple of weeks earlier. Then it was on to plan B. And it was plan B was just sort of take out all of Iran's leaders until you get to a group of people that we could work with. Well, we still haven't found them. And unfortunately, this is something of the last resort for the Americans, just completely take over the country, pound them into submission. until effectively Iran is a vassal state of the United States serving as sort of like a franchise gas station. It's sort of like the Middle Eastern quick trip that the United States is operating off of the straight. All right. You're listening to the Dan O'Donnell show. When we come back, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell. and the problem of the that is in their current platform they want to get rid of the constitution of the united states of america and replace it with one that they write What could possibly go wrong? Welcome back to the Dan O'Donnell show. Darlene Graham, the younger sister of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who passed away suddenly over the weekend of an aortic dissection sworn in today to take over on an interim basis her brother's Senate seat. You solemnly swear that you will support and defend the Constitution of the United States. against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that you take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which you are about to enter. So help you God. I do. Congratulations. Thank you.

That was Chuck Schumer swearing in Darlene Graham. Or Chuck Schumer, Chuck Grassley, swearing in Darlene Graham. I love Chuck Grassley. You love Chuck Grassley. Iowa clearly loves Chuck Grassley. Longtime member of the Senate, staunched conservative. He's 92 years old. He is 92 years old. This is a major problem in the United States, not just that Chuck is up to 92, not just that Lindsey Graham was 71, and that's still relatively speaking for the Senate young, but... He died suddenly of a massive heart attack because of heart disease that got progressively worse as he got older. Mitch McConnell has not been seen and the proof of life picture that he put out on his social media is not really convincing people that he has fully recovered from whatever was going on and kept him away from the Senate for the better part of a month. He's 84 years old. President Trump is about as spry an old guy as it gets. He's 80. He just turned 80 on Flag Day. The majority leader in the Senate, John Thune of South Dakota, he's a young 65. Democrats leader in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, is 75 years old. The median age in the House of Representatives is 58 years old. 58. Both Democrats and Republicans average about 58 years old for their representatives. In the Senate, the median age is 65. Republicans have an average age of 64, Democrats 66. Democrats are slightly older on average. What is the median age of Americans, the people that the... Leaders in their 60s and 70s and 80s and even 90s are representing 39 years old. We have never had at any point in this country, A, leaders as old as we have now, or B, leaders who are that much older than the people that they represent. Now, this presents a variety of problems. Older leaders tend to focus on issues that impact, well, them, and issues that impact the people that they care about, the people that they hear from. Typically older people like them, expanding social security.

Medicare, senior benefits, not only that, because their timeframe, their frame of reference is much, much shorter, and I don't want to be morbid, but when you know you've only got a couple of years left and you know that you're not just going to die very soon, but also you're probably going to retire at some point. You don't think of how current policy decisions that you vote for will impact generations to come. So issues like affordability of housing. long-term affordability in general, how all of this expansion of social welfare programs will put such a strain on the national debt that it becomes completely unsustainable and the United States just sort of collapses like a house of cards. We're also seeing a major problem right now. with Mitch McConnell, with Lindsey Graham, with Diane Feinstein, who died while actually at the Senate at the age of, I believe she was 91 years old. She died back in 2023 at the age of, yep, 90 years old while at the Senate, still representing the people of California. Now, we talk all the time about the United States Supreme Court and how there need to be strategic retirements that Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, the conservative justices, who are getting a little long in the tooth, they need to step down lest they are. like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, just a couple of years ago, six years ago, who died just a few weeks before the 2020 presidential election, allowing Trump to pick her replacement, who unfortunately has been the sadly somewhat disappointing Amy Coney Barrett, still a lot better than anyone Biden would have nominated. Take a look at, uh, Ketanji Brown Jackson Ketanji Brown Jackson for a good estimation of what another Biden pick would be like on the court. But still, when we are talking about Supreme Court justices and Senate, when we are talking about our leaders getting so old that we're worried about them dying before another Republican president is able to name their replacement, that's a big, big problem. And because there is this sort of generational disconnect,

There are issues and there are solutions. There are bills. There are policies that really are not designed to be long-term healthy for the country, but rather designed to get the very old leaders through the next election to retirement or tragically to death without considering the impact on subsequent generations. Is this a problem of, say, I know everybody likes to pile on the baby boomers, and I like to pile on the boomer lips because of just how insanely cringe they are. But is this an issue intrinsic to the, quote, boomer mentality or the selfishness of the baby boom generation? It most certainly is not. In fact, I think a big... misconception that my generation, the millennials, the generation X, generation Z all have about the baby boomers is that somehow they're intrinsically selfish or somehow they are doing things like, say, staying in power, staying in power. uh... positions in company staying at work staying in their houses contributing to a housing shortage because they're not downsizing like uh... previous generations did because of all the wealth that they've been able to accumulate they're able to do the exact opposite of downsizing In fact, one of the big issues that I have seen in the housing market is you have got young couples who are competing for houses against people, couples in their 70s, 60s, and 70s who are doing all cash offers, no contingencies. And, well, because they've been able to accumulate a lot more wealth, that's not intrinsic to the boomer mentality. It is because people are living so much longer now than they ever did. Baby boomers and people who reach the age of 70, 80 years old, they're not the same 70 or 80. I can remember my grandparents. I love them dearly. But back in the 90s, when my grandparents hit 80, they looked positively ancient. I go back and look at pictures. My goodness, they looked like they were 100 years old. It was just a different type of aging because of advancements in nutrition, in medical care, in vitamins and supplements and what we know about health, what we know about being able to keep the body and the brain healthy and younger and just alive for a lot longer. We have got to deal with the ramifications of what that means. We are a dramatically aging society. And when we come back, we are going to discuss the very deep policy and societal implications of a dramatically aging world. Stay tuned to Dan O'Donnell. You know what? It sucks to be bored.

I mean, like, what? Can we get this promo? Can we get the hottest photo galleries in promo killed? Please, please. We finally got a new perspective from a new voice. Dan O'Donnell. I'm like, I've been on this station for like a decade now. What do we do measure in eons? But this is the problem. This is the problem, ladies and gentlemen. We here at WISN apparently think in geologic time that a new perspective is some middle-aged turd who's been on our station for the last 10 years.

We don't have long-term thinking in this country because we are governed by people who are very, very old. And this is not the fault of the people who are very, very old. The alternative seems much worse than getting along. I would much rather be in a position of power and authority or just sitting in my backyard with a grandchild and a puppy on each leg than the alternative. I want to go home to meet my maker, but I think Jesus can wait. I think he, I hope he's got a, a spot saved for me. Those who have gone before are keeping the beer cold up there. But I'd much rather be here. We face significant problems, not just in the United States, but across the Western world, because not only are we an aging population, the number of Americans, 65 plus, grew from about 40 million in 2010 to 16 million in just a decade in 2020. In 2030, that number is projected to hit about 65 to 70 million and 80 plus million in 2050. That's nearly a quarter of the population. Old age, well, if we don't have medical breakthroughs such that people are living to about 110. And by the way, do you know that it's believed to be? physically impossible for the human body to potentially survive past 120? There have been studies done on this. Like God created, remember when God said to the angels after Methuselah and all day, I kind of don't like human beings living to like 900 years old. I'm going to limit their days to 120 years. It's actually kind of shocking how biologically accurate. For those who say there is no, there is nothing factual in the Bible. God in the Old Testament, I believe it's in the book of Genesis. It's right after the flood, I think. Don't quote me on this. I don't want to get into a theological debate. But... God said, let us limit their number to 120 years. That is, like right down to the year as the absolute age limit for human beings. Like we expire like old milk at 120. That to me is absolutely mind-boggling how accurate that was like thousands and thousands and thousands. Well, I mean, he is God. So he probably knows a little something. I'm, you know, whatever.

Problem with the rapidly aging world, though, is that you have more people dependent, even if they are working, even if they are remaining in the workforce and still contributing to Social Security and Medicare well into their 70s or even 80s, you have got a lot of people who are reaching retirement age, 65, 70, whatever that age is, and they are going to be takers, not... I don't want to use that in a pejorative sense, but they are going to be the beneficiaries of what they have worked their entire lives to put into the system. What this means is there are fewer workers per retiree, and more retirees and fewer workers means more drawn out of the system, less going in. The Social Security Old Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund is now projected to be totally depleted by 2032 at the earliest, 233 at the latest. That probably means an automatic 24% benefit cut without major reform. Not only that. You face a significant labor shortage, which is a big reason we need to get much more technologically advanced and why there is this big push for robotics and for supercomputing for artificial intelligence to do a lot of the work that human beings are doing now. But what this is also leading to, actually, is the excuse coming from people on the socialist left. We need to import a new workforce. Think about how insidious this is. You had generations of women being told, don't get married, don't have children, don't, you know, sacrifice your career. This led to, along with easy access to contraception and the Roe v. Wade abortion decision in 1973, there was a clear delineation between the giant traditional Catholic family with like eight kids. You had even the family of the baby boom generation, which would average two to four children. That's gone. This generation. My generation, especially the millennials, we are not having children. Or we're having children so late that biologically it's impossible to have more than one or two. In order to reach replacement population levels, you need to have 2.1 children per woman. I don't think I need to explain why this is. I don't want to go into the birds and the bees, but given the fact that we've got a lot of people who deny basic biology, you need 2.1 on average, 2.1 children per woman, because obviously you need a woman to, the women are the ones having the children. You don't necessarily need a man. You can have, you know, artificial inseminator, all that. But 2.1, children per women. We are down to now something like 1.3.

So we're well below replacement level population. Because women have been told for years, people have been told for it, don't have children, children pollute. You don't want to bring them into, we've covered the delusions of... liberals who don't want to bring children into a dying world because of climate change well what happens is those same socialists say no we need to now import a new workforce there's no way that we could ever get to a replacement level population without unchecked unfettered migration not from european populations not not from places with compatible cultures to the United States, but from the third world, people who are much more susceptible and open to socialist ideology. That is one of the biggest consequences of an aging world. It gives the people who are exploiting the rapidly crashing birth rate, not just in America, but across the Western developed world, as an excuse for importing a new third world servant class. whose real purpose is to actually impose a socialist communist culture in those Western civilizations that have been for centuries resistant to it. It's about changing the culture. This is a massive, massive, unforeseen consequence. of the fact that we just are not having children and our population is getting much older. Our entire economy is sort of being reoriented towards this reality as well. When we come back after the five o'clock news, we are going to dive into what it is those socialists, those communists at the DSA. And yes, they are actual communists. What they believe is. communism we're going to hear from them in their own words a fascinating interview today on c span with a top leader of the democrat socialists of america and i'm going to dive into the actual party platform what is it that people like francesco actually believe. What's up, everybody? It's Bretzky. And America is turning 250. And I can't think of a better way to celebrate that than playing on an American-owned social casino, SpinQuest.com.

I'll be honest with you, folks. I don't think I was outside for more than about 15 minutes total today. I've just had a lot of work to do to get ready for this show, researching some stories that we've got in the pipeline for the next couple of days. Obviously, the epic collapse of Sarah Rodriguez. Was it really as bad as they said? I know my younger son's soccer practice. got canceled today and i thought that that was good they were going to do a two hour soccer practice just in the middle of the late morning uh... and i thought with this heat advisory and the actual temperature possibly getting as high as a hundred degrees forget about the feels like temperature It did seem like it lived up to its billing for being one of the hottest days that we have seen in recent years. I think we're going to get some respite tomorrow, but not a whole lot. I am seeing on my thermometer right now, we are in about westernmost Milwaukee County. I am still seeing at 5.08 p.m. 97 degrees. 97 degrees. Tomorrow, I'm looking at a high of about 94, but we are going to see a little bit of cloud cover. And then, mercifully, it gets down to the upper 80s before getting back up to 90 by Saturday. But we're likely going to see a little bit of rain. And then next week, I'm seeing a high right now in the extended forecast from our friends over at Fox 6. of only 74 degrees by next Monday. I'll tell you what, folks, that is going to feel mighty good after the stretch of weather that we've had. Although, if you, like me, were in the Del's over the weekend or swimming or out on the lake, it was just absolutely perfect weather. Far be it from me to complain. Because when it's January and it's minus 15 with a wind chill of about minus 35, you're going to long for days like this. People are, well, I'd much rather have it be extremely good. No, you wouldn't. No, you absolutely wouldn't. When it's this hot, admittedly, if you don't have air conditioning, it is it is downright dangerous. And...

If you have a chance, you can go out and go swimming. You can, you know, open up a fire hydrant and play if you don't have access to a pool or anything like that. But when it gets that cold, there's nothing for you cannot go outside. You just basically stay indoors and, you know, conserve heat as best you can. Do you know which is far deadlier, heat or cold? They actually prove it every single summer in Europe. It's the heat by far. Those socialists who are so much more high-minded than we are because of their tyrannical climate regulations and their blanket bans on air conditioning. You have heat that is nowhere near as oppressively hot as it gets in the American South or even in northern states like Wisconsin occasionally in the middle of July, even though it's a much more temperate, consistent temperature throughout Europe. The highest it will really get realistically is about 90 degrees. In fact, I think there are multiple countries across Europe that have never ever had triple digits here in Wisconsin. uh... it's because they actually are far more north then we are here in the united states so in any event The heat is much, much more dangerous. But because we have so much access to air conditioning, we have such freedom to enjoy air. That's actually one of the things that all of the Europeans in for the World Cup into the United States said that they were just in awe of how comfortable everything is in the summer because everywhere you go, pretty much every building you go into in the United States has air conditioning. Still, though, we know how to sizzle in the summer. Sizzling summer cash contest. Word this hour is bonus, B-O-N-U-S. You've got until 555.

Why did we spend so much time yesterday? Why is it such a big deal here in Wisconsin that Sarah Rodriguez proved herself to be thoroughly incompetent? This is sort of like the man bites dog phenomenon. Democrats are incompetent. You know what man bites dog is? The idea that if something out of the ordinary happens, it's news. Dog bites man, not a news story. Man bites dog, news story because it doesn't happen all that often. It's not a news story that a Democrat is incompetent. The news story would be something unusual that a Democrat is competent and can actually handle finances. Sarah Rodriguez being so thoroughly incompetent that nobody from her campaign noticed for six months that they didn't have a million dollars that they were telling donors that they had. I still think this borders on potentially criminally fraudulent behavior.

The point is moot. There's never going to be a criminal charge that arises from this unless you can demonstrate that there was an intent to defraud donors. All bets are off if the campaign manager, Spencer, who is fired, was embezzling money from the campaign. And that's why you had the double donations to try to hide the money that she was taking. No indication of that. This is a story about extreme incompetence. And it just reveals so much about Rodriguez that she's just not ready to be in any position of power. And Democrats, I've got some uncomfortable news for you. You assumed that the party was eventually going to coalesce around the adults in the room, right? You know, the socialist kids like Francesca Hong, they have fun and they excite the base, but ultimately, we're going to vote for the adults in the room. The cooler heads, the competent heads are going to prevail, right? Well, wrong, because there are no adults in the Democratic room. Everyone is about as incompetent as Sarah Rodriguez. Want me to prove it? David Crowley was forced to drop out of the race and endorse Rodriguez because the party couldn't get behind him because he didn't bother to do anything or say anything when he learned in early January that the Milwaukee County health care plan had lapsed, potentially leaving. hundreds if not thousands of workers and retirees without health care coverage never told the board for a month Not only that, MCTS has had massive budget problems. And if that wasn't bad enough, even after pleading poverty and getting a massive payout from the state in the form of new shared revenue and a new sales tax that they authorized just a couple of years ago, new budget projections show that the county is going to be on tilt within three years, thanks to Crowley's fiscal mismanagement. So he's not an adult in the room. Mandela Barnes? How hard would you like to hear me laugh? The man refused to pay property taxes on the condo in Milwaukee that he owned. He wouldn't pay speeding tickets. He wouldn't pay parking tickets. He's not fiscally responsible. What has Barnes ever done that would suggest that he is a responsible leader? Francesca Hong, same deal. $30,000 in credit card debt. And I know, folks, look, real easy to get in debt. Real, really easy. I am never going to fault anybody for if you're living within your means and you just, there are things that come up, you put it on the credit card and.

Eventually, the bill comes due, and it's real easy to leave a balance that unfortunately multiplies. Debt does multiply just as compounding interest does. Debt and interest. Assets compound in value. Debt compounds in trouble. I'm never going to get on somebody about that. But when you have got somebody whose whole thing is, let's have other people pay for your lifestyle. And she's running up a $30,000, $50,000, whatever in the number was, credit card debt such that she gets sued by the credit, by the bank. By the way, we still don't have a totally clear idea about who exactly paid Francesca Hong's credit card debt. Where did she suddenly get $30,000 to be able to pay this off? was was the campaign paying this off because there are some serious legal questions about that was a donor paying this up where did the money come from to pay this off so none of these people are particularly effective. None of these people are the adults in the room, but it was such a big deal that Sarah Rodriguez imploded yesterday because she was seen as the Democrat Party of Wisconsin and almost by extension, the Democratic Party nationally's last chance to stop a socialist candidate in Francesca Hong. from getting nominated in Wisconsin, the ultimate swing state, and a state where it was just always thought, you would never have far left radicalism because of just how normal most people are here in the state. If Francesca Hong wins the nomination, and I think with Rodriguez is it implosion yesterday, it is immensely likely that she is going to win this nomination. That is going to be the highest profile win for the Democratic Socialists of America since Zohran Mamdani won in New York City. And I would argue it's even bigger, even though... Mayor of New York City is a much more high-profile position in American politics than is governor of Wisconsin. It just is. There's, what, 8 million people in New York, 5.8 million people in Wisconsin. You do the math. All of the media is, for the most part, based in New York. A lot of coverage of that. So, Zohran Mamdani, winning the primary last summer over Andrew Cuomo and subsequently winning the New York mayoral election was big. But it was also expected because a Democrat was just never going to lose. And a socialist was always going to be somewhat favored because of how left-leaning that city was. Look, Bill de Blasio was a socialist. That was two mayors ago. What was different about Zohran Mamdani is he is an open, third-worldest communist who believes in the fundamental awfulness of America.

He sort of opened the American people's eyes to what was actually going on here, how people who are not from this country, who don't share its values, are being imported and have been imported specifically to provide the voter base and also to provide the cultural acceptance. for a form of government that is totally alien and totally rejected by generations of Americans who have either been born here or who have come here, become naturalized, and have bought into the American idea and become incorporated to and bought into American culture. This is not... foreigners versus American citizens. This is not like that old movie Gangs of New York. I'm not like Bill the Butcher railing about all the Irish immigrants who are coming and all of those Catholics who are coming off the boats. No, the people who are coming into this country. In fact, there are studies that say, People who come in, second generation immigrants, naturalized American citizens who earn their citizenship but were born elsewhere, say India, say China, Japan, anywhere. Those who who. ultimately share the same values as broader American culture except broader American culture and become fully enmeshed in it and adopt American culture, creating a true cultural melting pot. They love America almost more than anyone else. The socialists do not. The Zohran Mamdani's do not. They come into this country and they want to reshape it in their third worldist image. Where the focus is on the collective is on the various tribes, the various clans, the various peoples who are perpetually at war with one another until some savior comes in and they can all come together and unite behind the real enemy, which is American society itself. This is what is being brought to America's shores, and Zohran Mamdani was just such a problem. perfect emblem from that because he was elected with a huge majority of people who were not born in the United States and lost by a significant margin those who were born in America. That was eye opening.

But what's more eye-opening is just how open Zohran Mamdani and Hong and every other Democrat socialist is about what it is that they actually want. It's not about providing health care for all or making sure the billionaires pay their fair share. It is about the actual overthrow of American bedrock principles. that are enshrined in our very governing document, the Constitution of the United States of America. The DSA's 2025, 2026, workers deserve more program, which is their national platform, includes a section on working class democracy. This is the truly radical stuff that they want to impose. In that document, in black and white, they express their desire to quite literally overturn the Constitution, rewrite it, or do away with it altogether. and replace it with, quote, a new democratic constitution that establishes civil, political, and democratic rights for all is based on proportional representation in a single federal legislature and ends the role of money in politics. They try their best to couch that in flowery language that's designed to appeal. Oh, yes, we want corrupting money out of politics. Yes, we want proportional representation in a single federal legislate. What does that mean? That's right. They actually want to not just add new states to the union to rig the Senate so Democrats and ultimately socialists never lose. They want to abolish the Senate of the United States of America. Don't believe me? One of their leaders just said so today on C-SPAN. We will get to that when the Dan O'Donnell. I don't want to be accused of being hyperbolic or fearmongering here. But the gravest threat that this country faces does not come from Iran or China. It comes... from democratic socialism it comes from the very ideas that we spent generations fighting during the cold war and defeating and proving once in for all or so we thought that our system not just of economics but the the order on which our entire culture is built free markets free people free exercise of religion free speech the ability to within reason do say whatever you want make whatever you want of your life the the recognition that we are all

creatures of the almighty that our rights are divinely granted that government has no power over us unless we consent to be governed these are revolutionary ideas that really are in jeopardy by people who say right there in their party platform for this year They want to replace the document, the thing from which American culture, not just our government, but our entire culture springs the Constitution, replace it with, quote, a new Democratic constitution that establishes civil, political, and democratic rights for all is based on proportional representation in a single federal legislature. and ends the role of money in politics. What does proportional representation in a single federal legislature mean? Well, the co-chairman of the Democratic Socialists of America, Ashik Siddique, told C-SPAN today that what that does in fact means is abolishing the U.S. Senate. That's right. The U.S. Senate. that gives equal representation to every state regardless of population that prevents the bigger states from just dominating the small states that was a problem contemplated by the founders of this country and solved by giving each state to senators, Sadiq, who knows much better than Madison and Jefferson and Hamilton and Washington and everybody we just celebrated a weekend and a half ago. Ashik Sadiq. Ashik Siddique has a better idea. Let's just get rid of the Senate. We just don't see the point of the Senate. Historically, it was meant to serve very wealthy people who owned a lot of land. Okay. First of all, that's so historically ignorant. The thing about these people is I don't believe that they are dumb, but I believe that they assume the people who they are trying to fool are dumb. It had nothing to do with protecting the rights of the landed gentry. The Senate had everything, if anything, it had to do with protecting the rights of the people in smaller states, which back then would have been the frontier states. By definition, the poorer states, the people who are going out on homesteads and trying to survive in the great wilderness on their own, their rights were being protected by the fact that... they would have a proportionally representative body in the house but they would be on equal footing in the senate and that it wasn't that they were even directly electing senators the state legislatures were appointing senators back in those days so that there would be even more direct tie to the individual states that the uh... government representatives that were closest to the people themselves the the state

uh... house of representatives members the state senators who are elected by much smaller groups of people than congressional representatives they would be the ones who would appoint senators It's the exact opposite of what this idiot is saying. Let's start it on it. There's Sheikh Sadiq, why we need to get rid of the Senate. We just don't see the point of the Senate. Historically, it was meant to serve very wealthy people who owned a lot of land. And that's still a system that we have today. And it's something we would change. We would expand what the House of Representatives does and make it more actively representative of people who are. live in this country so would you like to abolish the senate that's that's part of our platform and we don't think that's extreme we think it's it's a a change that would help make this country more democratic In fact, that is part of the platform. Now, they tried to sort of mask what Sadiq is saying, that we are going to literally just get rid of a whole ton of representation. And why do they want to do this, by the way? Because the higher population areas are the ones that are typically much more liberal. So you would get way more seats in New York State, way more seats specifically in New York City, in Los Angeles, in San Francisco, in Chicago, in the big population hubs where socialism just happens to be the most popular. We wouldn't have the ability of much more conservative states that have lower populations like Wyoming, South Dakota, Wisconsin, to be able to combat any of this because we would just be dominated by the socialist coalitions that would be forming in the big states and the big cities. So in this... founding document, the working class democracy section of the workers deserve more official DSA platform. They want to quote, replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy through proportional representation elections. Expand the number of seats in the House of Representatives and end the Senate filibuster. They also want what they call universal suffrage, which includes statehood for Washington, D.C. Again, a constitutional impossibility. You cannot create a new state by carving up areas from other states. Washington, D.C. was created by carving up parts of Maryland and Virginia. It's an impossibility. Extend full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and non-citizens.

and establish statehood for Washington, D.C. They say exactly what they want to do right there. Extend full voting rights to non-citizens. First, you got to import a whole lot of non-citizens. Make sure they're coming from third world countries that will be very open to socialism. Then you abolish the Constitution itself. You say, all right, non-citizens, you get to vote. Washington, D.C., you're a state now, but it doesn't really matter because we're going to do away with this. We don't need to pack the Senate if we just get rid of it. Of course, they believe that the more conservative smaller states would still be able to band together and hold on to the presidency. Nope, not at all. Once you import enough people to the big states, to the Democrat states, and import enough new socialists, you... replace the electoral college with a national popular vote for president, ensuring that your new voters give you a permanent majority, not just in the legislative branch, but also in the executive branch. But Dan, you might be asking. Couldn't the judicial branch simply invalidate all of this? Well, that's why you've either got to pack or eliminate the Supreme Court altogether, or if not eliminating the court, eliminating its ability to review the decisions of the other two branches. This is the potentially most dangerous plank of a very dangerous platform to completely overhaul American civilization. Limit the court's power of judicial review, which it uses to effectively create and abolish laws outside the legislative process. Meaning, if they can't just pack the courts with enough socialists, to simply give them a green light to do whatever it is the socialists want to do you eliminate the power of the court which dates all the way back to what eighteen o three in marbury versus madison where the supreme court determined that what the founders wanted the court to do was to review and make sure that everything the other two branches do comports with the constitution because you need to have Every branch of government in order to limit the power of all of them have some power over each of the other two. This was the court's power over the other two branches. The Democratic socialists want to do away with it or just do away with the court itself. Here is the DSA vice chair, Ashik Sadiq. Ashik Sadiq.

Traditional American guy with, I'm assuming, some traditional American values. Here is why we need to either pack or abolish the Supreme Court or its ability to review anything the new socialist to take power do. The Supreme Court was mentioned as something that we would want more democratic oversight over, and that is important. Right now, whether it's a Democratic Party and Power or Republican Party in power, a president can just choose who to a point that can be there for decades and help make decisions about how our government works. We think that that's not really very democratic, that just the whims of nine people who are, you know, they're obviously smart people, but they have their own interests. And there's a kind of elitism that comes from just the idea that Very, especially people who have a certain education or life experience should be making decisions for everybody, and that tends to be pretty elitist. You know, people who go to certain elite colleges or law schools or whatever and then are seen as experts, but they... might not have the same interests, you know, like class interests of everybody. You know, I'm beginning to think Ashik Sadiq and the socialists might not be the brightest bulbs in the display. So we don't trust the experts because they went to elite institutions. This coming from the same people that you had to trust the experts with your life during the COVID pandemic or you are a science denier. When it comes to the law, though, well, then it doesn't matter. Then they're just a bunch of elitist snobs. Did you hear what was in the subtext of that, though? We need to have democratic control over the court. What does that mean? That means once the socialists get themselves elected, they immediately go after and try to dominate and take out politically or just dilute the power politically of the non-political body, the judiciary. And it's not just a tiny fraction of federal cases ever get to the United States Supreme Court. He's talking about the entire federal judiciary. He is saying, When we get to power, the Democratic Socialists are saying, when we get to power, our goal is to make it impossible for anybody. You are powerless to sue to stop anything we do because the federal courts will no longer be allowed to challenge our power. Folks, this is tyranny in waiting. So if you're wondering why so many people are so concerned about the possibility that someone who belongs to this party, that someone who believes in this platform is very close to winning a major party nomination, very uncomfortably close to potentially winning the governorship of the state of Wisconsin. This is why.

Because all of the platitudes about health care for all, all of the talk about fairness and equity and billionaires paying their fair share, it is a Trojan horse that hides inside of it, the destruction. of American civilization as we know it, and the replacement of our constitutional order with the tyranny of people who will simply write their own constitution the second they believe that they have the ability to suppress anyone who would dare to challenge them in doing so. Again, you don't have to believe me. You can think that I'm just some paranoid right-winger ranting on AM radio. You can go right now and read what the socialists say themselves. The working class democracy section of the workers deserve more 2025, 2026 national DSA platform. It is all over the internet. Read it for yourself. Please, I implore all Americans.

How much our culture, how much our national identity is tied into our government structure, the structure of our economy, how we are able to live freely and how we are able to better ourselves and how we have produced. Do you think it's an accident that?

One nation founded just 250 years and some days ago has been the epicenter of pretty much every single technological innovation of the last nearly two and a half centuries. Why is it? There are much bigger countries than us. There are even wealthier countries than we are on, say, a per capita basis. Why have we been able? It's because of our government structure. And our system of organizing the economy, our system of socioeconomic, not just economics, socioeconomics, makes everyone wealthier. There are people who right now are winning elections are in the process of taking over one of the two major political parties who believe in undoing all of that, who literally have written down. that they want as part of their national platform this year right now they want to rewrite the constitution they want to just get rid of the constitution and replace it with their own constitution that would get rid of the united states senate just abolish it They would just add a hundred seats to the House of Representatives or whatever they would call. They would probably call it the People's Chamber or something euphemistically evil sounding like that. And almost all of those seats would go to the areas where socialists are currently their strongest. So they would consolidate their power and make it impossible to ever defeat them. They would, of course, abolish the Electoral College so that they would simply be able to import people from all over the world. That's right there in their platform. They want to expand voting rights to non-citizens. Why would you ever want to do that unless it was your goal to simply import as many people as you need to not just create a governing voting majority, but also a cultural majority? And they have the goal to say, oh, the replacement theory is this awful racist thing. Right there in the platform, we want non-citizens to vote so that we can have as many people as possible coming into this country and voting. Do you think that they're going to vote for non-socialists? They're going to vote for the evil capitalist pigs? No, they want them coming into this country to vote for them. to deliver us into a socialist economy, governing structure, and most importantly, culture. Believe you, me, ladies and gentlemen, this is going to be a recurring theme here on the Dan O'Donnell Show, what the socialists actually want to do and why it really is such an existential threat to all of us if these people take power.
