Elon Musk has got a few billion and he's the richest guy in the world. I could live probably a thousand lifetimes and not get close to a billion, let alone $8 billion, but I'll explain the meaning of that number in just a moment. It is the Dan O'Donnell Show. Jason Gotts with the pleasure of filling in on this Friday in December for Dan. It's always good to be on News Talk 1130 WISN and 1310 WIB. in Madison. I'm here, of course, for the next three hours, and the advent knows.com talk and text line is open for you. 414-9-1130, 414-7991130. We always like to interact with our great listeners here across the state of Wisconsin. And... Across the world listening on the iHeart app and streaming online. And also, if you want to find me on Twitter slash X, you can do so at Jason Gotts, G-O-C-H on that last name spelling, is my Twitter handle. $8 million, $8 billion. $8 billion. $8 million would have been a lot. But $8 billion. Why did I start the show today with that particular number? Because whistleblowers are saying the Somali fraud in the once great state of Minnesota. Could exceed. It could be or even exceed $8 billion. Tim Walz Walls doesn't seem too worried about this. yelling at President Trump, saying his state is in great shape, that they respect people in Minnesota. It's like he's crying to the media again. Like he could use those tampons to start, I don't know, whatever he wants to do with those. He puts in the boys' bathrooms and the public schools in Minnesota. Good old Tim Walz, you can always count on him making a fool of himself in the media. But this story about the $8 billion.
of Somali fraud in Minnesota. And I don't want to indict all the Somalis. Look, I understand there's some good people in the Somali and American community. It's not all people. But when you look at this story, it is so widespread. Snap. COVID, housing assistance, disability assistance, autism assistance for kids. They're looting that. house more housing stuff and you look at all the different government programs that this was going on in in the state of minnesota and for me you can only conclude one thing that politicians in Minnesota, they know the Somali voting block is an important one, especially Hennepin County, Minneapolis. That's a huge Democrat vote sink. There's a lot of Democratic voters there. A lot of Somalian Americans. Some vote for President Trump. Some are on the Republican side. But a lot of them are on the Democratic side right now. And they did not want to, the officials in the state of Minnesota did not want to. open their eyes to what was going on here. They'd rather have their treasury looted. They'd rather have the public treasury, the federal government looted, rather than dare offend certain segments of the Somali community in the state of Minnesota. Now, I've got this story. This is CBS News. I know there are a lot of people out there. Oh, this is some kind of right-wing conspiracy. CBS News, story right here in front of me, all about the scandal involving the fraud in the state of Minnesota. Last year, a Somali-American former investigator, that's important. He's a Somali-American former investigator in the State Attorney General's office. His name Kayesh Magan, he wrote about what he called, quote, an uncomfortable and true reality that many people who have been charged with fraud in the state are of Somali descent. He wrote that fraud occurs when desire meets opportunity, and this is a Somali American writing this, this is not Jason Gotts filling in for Dan O'Donnell. I'm simply reading what CBS News has published in a mainstream news story. a Somali American investigator in the Minnesota Attorney General's office. This man wrote that fraud occurs when desire means opportunity. He noted many Somali Americans are poor, desperate, and seek shortcuts, and their families in the impoverished East African country frequently rely on money from U.S.-based relatives. He said Somali service providers often leverage trust within the community, recruit friends and relatives into their programs, and many victims of the fraud schemes are actually Somali, too. So there you go. There's an organized, in this guy's mind, in the Somali community, this stuff is going on, and in certain segments, it is tolerated. Now, the fact that these groups within the Somali community are ripping off the Minnesota Treasury, they are ripping off the federal government.
You would think somebody other than an investigator, ironically Keith Ellison's office, who's one of the most left-wing politicians in America, former representative, U.S. Representative, now the Attorney General of Minnesota. He's downplaying this whole thing. Walls is making all kinds of excuses. Oh, yeah, we're a AAA-rated credit state. We're a welcoming community. It's fine to be a welcoming community. Well, you're a AAA-credited state, but you take... 12% of people's incomes. The Minnesota State and Local tax burden is 12% of income. That's a very high tax burden. Where do you think the money's going? To waste, abuse, and certainly fraud here. Now, Ilhan Omar was on TV this week. And Ilhan Omar, look, you would think this is documented by somebody in a Democrat Attorney General's office. A lot of these people who are whistleblowers are saying this stuff fell on deaf ears. But this is a pretty big scandal. $8 billion looted from the government, you would think you'd want to get to the bottom of this, you'd want to find why this is happening, make sure it doesn't happen again, the money should go to people who really need it. Even if you believe in big government programs, which I don't, I think there should be a small social safety net for people who truly need it. But even if you believe in big government, you would think you'd want it to go to people who need it. truly need it, not do fraud schemes, terrorist groups, which are connected to this as well, all kinds of other bad actors. But he only had Omar had another take on it. Can you shed any light on why the fraud got so out of control in Minnesota? I think what happened is that, you know, when you have these kind of new programs that are designed to help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be able to facilitate. And I just think that a lot of the COVID programs that were set up, they were set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails did not get created. So it's not the fault of the bad actors. It's not the fault of the thieves. It's not a fault of all these people who are committing really bad crimes here. Big time theft, $8 billion or more at this point. The whistleblowers are saying, it's the fault of the people who set up the programs. So the people, like she's actually surprisingly blaming some individuals in the government, but people who set up these programs to supposedly help people. It gets looted. It's the fault of the people who set up the programs. You can't make this stuff up. They will always circle the wagons on the progressive left. They will never acknowledge the bad actors. They will always blame people who shouldn't be blamed. But Ilhan Omar taking no responsibility here. Some of this fraud money went to her campaign. She paid some of the back. She's pictured with some of the fraudsters. She's not been implicated in this. But it is a little suspicious to me that she's... Not calling out the fraudsters per se. She's instead saying, okay, well, it's the fault of the people who set up these programs. It's really unbelievable. Now, Scott Bessent was also talking about this this week, and they are investigating whether this money went to al-Shabaab. Some of this money could have went to al-Shabaab. That's an affiliate of al-Qaeda and a U.S. designated foreign terrorist organization based in Somalia.
Tim Walz, though, said this. Minnesota is a generous state. It's a prosperous state. We're triple A bond rated. That's his response. Then he's like, but that attracts criminals and those people will go to jail. We're doing everything we can. You can't be saying you're doing everything you can when $8 billion gets looted or more. I mean, there's going to be waste, fraud, and abuse on a small scale. Look, if this was 50 grand, 100 grand, 500 grand, it'll be bad. But you could say, oh, that's sneak through the crack somehow when it's a billion, 5 billion, 8 billion bucks. There's absolutely no way that that should not have been discovered over the last several years that this stuff was going on. Now, also, Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, was on this morning. This is going to go into a topic I'm going to get to a little bit later in the hour. You know, the progressive left always loves the illegal aliens. They will always rally around what they see as their future voters. But Pam Bondi was on Fox and Friends this morning today. Lawrence Jay Jones is asking her the question about... a Somali immigrant who's did some really bad things. From Somalia that has now been charged with multiple counts of rape in Minnesota, including a minor. What can you share about this investigation? You know, they have said that this administration is just trying to demonize the Somalia community. But we've got a criminal here. Okay, Lawrence, this guy came into our country in 2015 under Barack Obama. He let him in legally, just like all the Afghanistan's been letting in. He let him in illegally in 2015. He committed a rape of a child, a horrific rape in 2017. Then he committed another rape in 2024. He's arrested in state court. Lives in the Minneapolis area the entire time. Last name, Muhammad, he's 28 years old. He's convicted in state court of both rapes. They let him walk out the door on probation. Double rapist. Pled to him, walked out the door. Then under our administration, he commits a new rape. He is arrested. He is in federal custody. We are going back in time now, charging him again with kidnapping and the rape of the 2017 case. And I can tell you, there are more charges to come. And again, this is good police work. They took his DNA, ran his DNA through databases for all these unsolved rapes. So let's wait and see. How many charges come after that? So a child sex predator in Minnesota, a member of the Somali community, again, not indicting all Somalis here.
But carte Todd Blanche, apparently, in Minnesota. So you do horrendous crimes like that. That's even worse than, look, the fraud stuff's bad. I'm not excusing it. It's horrific, too. But what this guy did, this guy should be, you'd lock the guy up and throw away the key. But judges in Minnesota, that's your restorative justice, your progressive left. These are good people. They made a, maybe a bad mistake, but we're going to let them get on with their lives. And then they commit more heinous crimes. But again, you don't want to offend members of the Somali community, and you don't want to offend people who are given legal status in the country because under Joe Biden and towards the end of Barack Obama's term, we had, his second term, we had a completely open border. And the first couple of years, Obama was actually enforcing the border, surprisingly. But as time went on, he let it open and then Biden just didn't have any border enforcement whatsoever. So you get the idea here in Minnesota right now. The Somalis rule things and the politicians are either afraid or they just don't want to get involved to get this thing on track until it became a national issue. And now the federal government's going to go in there. Thankfully, under President Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, the FBI and the various government agencies that can investigate and hopefully get to the bottom of this. Now, one other angle here, and I've been very clear here, Jason Gotts and for Dan O'Donnell, I don't want to indict all the Somali community. But you look at some of... The statistics from the Somali community in Minnesota. Poverty level, 58% of the Somalis are in poverty. 42% are on food stamps. 40% are unemployed. 41% have no high school education. How do you survive in America at any point other than government handouts or government grift? If you have no high school education, 41% of the community, 40% unemployed. Of course, 42% will be on food stamps if you're unemployed. Unless you've been in the workforce a long time, it happens to people. You're unemployed. You've got some savings. You live off that until you get on their job. But 58% live in poverty. Obviously, assimilation of the Somali community. is not going very well in the state of Minnesota. Something's going wrong there clearly, and it leads to situations like we've described here on the first segment of the program. But also, President Trump did say he made the comment, and again, I believe it's misinterpreted. President Trump's a guy who speaks off the cuff. He speaks like a regular person. He didn't go to Harvard, Yale. He went to UPenn for... for graduate school for business, but he didn't go for law. So he's not going to speak like a polished attorney. He made the comment about these people are garbage. They're coming in here. They're taking our stuff and they send them back. Obviously, he was not inferring that about every person from Somalia. It was inferring that about people who commit fraud against the system and who loot the treasury and don't want to be a part of American, don't want to succeed. They just want free stuff. But the left is up in arms right now. I mean, up in arms, the American left. Oh my gosh, he called the Somali's garbage. He is a racist. He is a bigot. Why don't we call him a transphobic and a homophobe, too, just for good measure, even though he didn't refer to any of that stuff. But you know how the left is they take things out of context? But it's interesting, the term garbage is so offensive. I was thinking about this, actually, during show prep when I was reading all this stuff and absorbing everything I wanted to bring to the program today.
And I'm thinking, wow, I remember I remember I was called garbage by the President of the United States one time. Just a few years ago, this guy called me garbage. It's on America. That was Joe Biden calling President Trump's 70 plus million voters, depending on the election. I mean, over 60 million voters in the 2016 election went to 75 million in 2020. So we'd have been talking about me, many of you in this audience. And all the Trump supporters, they're garbage. They're all garbage. Trump supporters, I see is his garbage. So the left didn't have problem when he was calling American citizens. Their guy, Joe Biden, was calling American citizens garbage. But the minute Trump infers clearly that. The bad actors in the Somali community are garbage, and they can go back. It's the worst thing in the world, but it's okay to D. You know, you'd call Trump a fascist. You can call me a fascist. You can call any supporter of the president, a fascist, a Nazi. But lo and behold, you call some Somalis in Minnesota who stole $8 billion garbage. It's the worst thing in the world. And, of course, they take the quote out of context. Now, we come back. Some really troubling stuff going on here in the state of Wisconsin, of course involving the Supreme Court. Of course it involves illegal immigration. It ties into all this Somali fraud and the horrible story that Pam Bondi described about the child sex predator. It's Jason Gotts in for Dan O'Donnell, News Talk, 1130, WISN, 1310, WIBA, and Madison. You want to jump in Advent knows.com talking text line 414-799 1130. 414-799 1130. Back at you right after this. Thank you. Outside, the Christmas season is here. Drive it home in the dark, one of my favorite things to do is look at Christmas decorations. I love Christmas decorations, loved them since I was a kid. I decorate the outside of our house. Not just for the kids, not just for my wife, not just for the neighbor. Because I like to do it. I take pride in the nightmare of putting up Christmas lights and how Christmas lights can always drive even the calmest person crazy. Yeah, and you know what? On the ladder, I kind of am like Clark Griswold. I haven't fought. Thank goodness. Thank goodness. But sometimes a little wobbly up there when I'm putting stuff up as Dave Michaels chimed in. Yeah, just like Clark Griswold in one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time, by the way, I think, personally. Christmas vacation. I mean, that...
Yeah, exactly. And that's just one of those great movies that, I mean, everybody can relate to the Christmas gathering. Not everything's always going to go right there, but it's important to have family together. The Christmas lights, go, you know, all the, yeah, the Twinkle Lights. We've actually got some Twinkle Lights in our house still. That's some. Picked up some of those a few years ago. They're still working. Yeah, that's a great movie. Christmas, always a fun time. Hope you're enjoying the season. Great to have you with us here. News Talk 1130, W-W-I-S-N-13-W-I-S-10, W-I-B-A-N-A-N-M-A-N-M-A-N-M-A-N-M-A-N-M-A-N-R-S. It is Jason-G-G-E-H-E-H-E-H on that last name spelling. That is also, of course, the Advent-N-N-N-E-V-N-E-E-L-E-E-E-L-E-E-E-L-E-E-E-L-E-E-E-E-L-E-E-E-E-L-E-E-E-E- must credit. He upgraded that site a few years ago. Twitter used to be a cesspool. Now it's a good place for information because, no, it's not conservative bias. It's not liberal bias. It allows free speech. And so many places in our country, get it here on conservative talk radio. You get it on certain corners of the internet. But as far as the big internet, so to speak, wasn't there until Elon Musk. picked up Twitter and really opened it up to what it should be. Really, whether you're conservative or liberal, you should support that. Left-wingers don't, unfortunately. Traditional old-school liberals do. The Bill Maher types, I don't agree with him on much, but he actually'll talk to the other side. The modern progressive, absolutely not. They have no tolerance for... Freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of ideas. That's a sad thing. It's also a scary thing in this country at this point, and why it's important. Mediums like this exist and also mediums like X exists. Now, I want to get back to what I was talking about last segment. We had the Somali story. Now they're saying $8 billion of fraud with the Somalis in Minnesota. Not every Somali I understand, but certainly that community, even a Somali American said that community has exploited. systems in our country that allow for welfare benefits and allow for assistance for people who... you would think would need it a lot more than fraudsters, sending it back to Somali or terrorist groups, so to speak. But we also, this brings into the equation people who are illegal here or people who come into this country and get legal status from Joe Biden, but it's not really legal. They give you a work permit. It doesn't make you a legal resident of the country. That's the new thing they're hiding behind. Well, Joe Biden said everybody was here. They can get a work permit. That doesn't mean you have legal status. Even though you've been given a work permit, you skipped a step there. But the Wisconsin Supreme Court, you can always count on the left-wingers on the Wisconsin Supreme Court to try and wreck this state and wreck the country. I mean, in their own little way. They're trying to redistricting scam. We might get into that a little bit later on. But the story for this segment is the Wisconsin Supreme Court is going to be hearing a case.
regarding the sheriffs of Walworth Brown Marathon Kenosian saw counties over their agreements with federal immigration authorities to detain illegal immigrants for additional time at the request of federal officers. The ACLU, is there any more anti-American? organization than the ACLU. 50 years ago, I didn't agree with the ACLU and what they were doing, but they truly were a free speech type of and free ideas organization, a free expression organization. The Nazis were marching in Chicago area, Skokie, a suburb of Chicago in the 70s, and the ACLU said, hey, you know what, you got to allow that. This is America. Are they despicable? Yeah, but you got to allow them to march down the street. And yeah, they are despicable, but you have freedom of expression in this country as bad as scary as that is that people would march like that. It should be rejected in the public square. We have freedom of ideas, freedom of expression. And thankfully, that Nazi march did happen, but people weren't supporting it by any stretch of the imagination. But in a free country, you have an arena of ideas and you reject the bad ideas. That's the way it should work. Now, the ACLU is going completely off the rails. They're not free speech anymore. They're not any, none of that stuff. They are about pushing a far left-wing progressive agenda on the American people. So the ACLU filed a lawsuit. asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to take up the case now as opposed to going through lower state courts first and claim these agreements violate state law. 4-3, of course, majority, left-wing, I wouldn't say liberal, I would say far-left-wing majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. And they're going to hear this case, and most likely they're going to disallow these agreements. So law enforcement officers in various counties and municipalities in this state... are not going to be able to do a common sense thing. Look, illegal alien arrested. If you're getting arrested, are you always guilty, no, but a lot of times you are guilty. So you're detaining someone for a certain crime, either you're arrested them or they're in your jail because they were convicted. common sense thing they're illegal they are criminals by that nature they already committed a crime there it's a federal crime so what do you do you call the feds and you say hey i got joe smith here He came in from whatever country. We know he is illegal. We were detaining him for this. When we let him out the door, you're here to take him over to the immigration services. ICE is there to pick him up. Make the country safer, right? We don't want illegal aliens. We want an order system of immigration. An orderly system. That's what we want. Set a number. Let those people and everybody else. Adios. Goodbye. Husta la vista, baby. Leave the country.
Very simple equation. It's what we used to agree on on both sides for generations, but then the progressive left decided, hey, you know what? This is our voting block of the future. We're going to go ahead. We're going to let these people stay here. And what's going to happen when they stay here? They're going to eventually become our voters and our base. And then we're going to have a one-party system. And we're going to impose progressive values on the rest of the country that doesn't want it. The majority does not want it. So the Wisconsin Supreme Court doesn't even let this go up the chain of command, like, oh, we'll go to the local court. the appellate court, then well, nope, send it right up here so we can disavow these agreements. Now, I don't know if any of you remember Arizona in 2010 SB 1070. Does anybody remember SB 1070? That was a law because Obama was in office. And again, it wasn't even Obama's first few years. He was actually somewhat enforcing immigration law. Not to the best of his ability, but there was somewhat of an enforcement. So SB 1070, the governor at the time was Jan Brewer. So the governor of Arizona. And if you're in a border state. You are on the front line of the immigration battle. You have all these people coming in here legally into your state. You got to get food. They got to get health care. They put their kids in the schools. And all of a sudden, you don't have the resources. Your state budget's like, okay, we got a $40 billion state budget. We got a $20 billion hole because we got to support all these people. So SB 1070 was a comprehensive bill in Arizona denying benefits to anybody who came in and kicking these people out. The Fed sued got stopped. It was court decisions. SB 1070 is invalid. SB 1070. You can't enforce it because the federal government controls immigration. It is not a state issue. So we fast forward 15 years later and the hypocrites that the progressive, look, if they're not lying and they're not hypocritical, they're not truly progressive leftists. What do they do? 15 years later, all of a sudden, states can deny federal immigration law. They can deny enforcement. They can deny cooperation. They can basically harbor all these illegal aliens because this is the future of the left-wing Democratic Party. So that's what's coming here in the great state of Wisconsin. Get ready. All these sheriffs and all these counties who are like, hey, you know what? We don't want this immigration problem here. You guys pick them up for something. You got them in the jail. You send them to the feds. Let's get them out of here. Nope. Get ready to have your social services budget busted because you can't kick the illegals out. And you know what? The illegal alien network and combined with progressive leftists, the NGOs, they know all this stuff. Oh, you know what? They can't enforce it, Wisconsin. Go up to Wisconsin. We'll give you a nice down jacket. So if you've got to be outside for a while, give you a hat and gloves, you're going to be just fine. Some boots. I know it's a rough winter up there, but they're not going to kick you out. State officials can't because the Supreme Court gave you carte Todd Blanche, do whatever the heck you wanted to do. That's what's coming to the state of Wisconsin. Now, federally, we've got Representative Pramila Jayapal from the state of Washington, who is one of the worst. I mean, there's a lot of bad ones out there on the left. But this is, she is one of the worst. She is proposing a bill. Listen to this. It's about 45 seconds. You're going to roll your eyes. You're going to say if the Democrats ever take over again, we're in real trouble.
Our Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act has a remarkable, unprecedented, 123 original co-sponsors. Before we've even introduced it, 123 co-sponsors, and it overhauls the detention system. It drastically scales back the use of detention. It ensures that every single immigrant who is in detention has their human and civil rights protected. Our bill also phases out the use of private for-profit detention centers. It prohibits the detention of children and families and makes it harder to detain primary caregivers and vulnerable people like pregnant women or seniors or workers who are whistleblowing and unscrupulous employers. It requires DHS to allow members of Congress to do our jobs and conduct those unannounced inspections that hold these facilities accountable. 123 Democrats have signed on to open borders, illegal immigration, unchecked in this country, becoming the law of the land. You can't kick them out for any reason. Listen to that, what she said there. You heard it right there about a 45-second cut. That bill says you ain't kicking anybody out. This is an open border society. And I've said this before and I'll say it again. It's Jason Gotchen for Dan O'Donnell. Great to be with you on a Friday news talk 1130 WISN, 1310 WIBA and Madison. When this country was being settled, the Western lands, the idea we need unchecked immigration, or when we opened up Ellis Island, and we didn't have unchecked immigration throughout the history of the country. We had periods of heavy immigration. Then we had to assimilate people. It was understood. You had to assimilate people in the American way of life. We closed the doors for a while, very little immigration, a lot more immigration. But there was no welfare state. The welfare state didn't start until 1933 with Franklin Delano Roosevelt. There's no welfare state. So people coming in here. You made it on your family, yourself, or church groups. That's who helped you out. That's it. There was no, I'm going to go to the SNAP office and get free stuff. Then I'm going to go get free health care. Then I'm going to go get my Section 8 housing. And oh, by the way, I'll stop by the emergency room without any health care and get free health care. So you've got to wait 10 hours in the emergency room. If you're an American citizen, you broke your arm. He's got 55 illegal aliens in front of you to get health care for free because they know how to work the system. There was none of that. If you came in here, hopefully you had some family here. That's usually the way at work. Family help. Family come over. They support you. They found you a low-level job. You worked your way up. You try to make a better life for your kids and your grandkids and maybe a little bit for yourself as well. Try to build a life in a new country. And your church groups were there to help you too. They did a lot of the charity work back then. Not anymore. Let them in. Free stuff. You cannot economically run a country that allows the welfare and social benefits economically and financially in states across this country. And with the federal government, you cannot run that with unchecked immigration. It's not a lot of rich people. There are some, sure. But a lot of people who come to this country.
do not have the means to exist on their own economically right away. So they jump into the welfare system. That's one of the reasons. Not completely. It's a big reason why these states, especially the blue states, constantly try and raise your taxes in any way they can. And also, the federal government is, what, $38 trillion in debt now? It changes all by the day. Because you don't have the resources. You do not have the resources. to support unchecked immigration in America. Now, real quick, actually, I'm a little long for the break here. So what I want to do, take a break, got Jake Tapper saying something absolutely ridiculous. We're going to get. It's like they, you know, who writes the script for these far left wing media people on TV like Jake Tapper on CNN, or he's just too dumb to understand what he's reading. I mean, it's really, just didn't do the research. It's basically, we'll talk about that. But we got, they send their best and brightest when, I'm sure the Wisconsin Supreme Court is going to want to protect some of the people. that I'm about to tell you about who've come into the country illegally. We'll talk about that. Jason Gotts in for Dan O'Donnell News Talk 1130 WISN. 1310 WIBA in Madison. Back with all that right after this. A lot of houses to hit, a lot of places, a lot of countries all around the world. Kids are getting ready, less than three weeks. Rudolph better be in good shape. You know, he's working out right now, eating right, getting ready to go. One of my favorite Christmas songs is Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer. Really epitomizes the season. Do enjoy the Christmas music. Again, I said it yesterday. I like the Christmas music during the Christmas season. Christmas music wouldn't work in July. It wouldn't work in August, but during the Christmas season, it's always fun to hear it. On the radio, wherever you're at, we're glad you're with us. Jason Gottsin for Dan O'Donnell News Talk, 1130, WISN, 1310, WIBA, and Madison, the advent knows.com talk and text line open for you, 414 799, 1130. Text rolling in, the 414 writes, it's the we really want to make an impossible to deport. People Act. Yes, that's what Representative Pramila Jayapal, I think, was proposing there earlier this week. We played that for you. Basically, her act is, if you're in the country illegally, we're going to do everything for you. You're not going to get to leave. 123 Democrats on board with that. Kind of scary to think if they ever took power again, had the trifecta, the House, the Senate, and the presidency. And it will happen again, folks. I hate to tell you. I mean, let's hope it's not for about 50 years and they've reformed themselves. But every two years, we have an election, every four years for president. All takes is a little bit of downturn in the economy and with the mainstream media, what they do, which is they're basically a mouthpiece for the Democratic National Committee. Got a lot to overcome if you're a Republican candidate these days. And you have for many years, but they are just so over the top in the tank for the far left, the progressive left, not even the mainstream old school liberal. It's very scary to think about what these people would do if they got power again. Got another 414 writing regarding me filling in here, Jason Gotts, in for Dan O'Donnell. I really liking the show the last couple of days.
It's glad that I'm here to fill in for Dan. It's always a pleasure to keep the big chair warm for Dan and great listeners here, WIBA, WISN, and of course all across the world listening online. It's what we're here for. We're here for you and you make the program when I'm feeling in. I'm sure the other hosts feel the same way that you guys make the radio station and really what we do here. It's always about the listeners and it's great to have everybody aboard for the ride. Now, before the break, I did say that the Wisconsin Supreme Court, they're trying to make it so ice. cannot cooperate with the local sheriff's departments who want to cooperate here in the state of Wisconsin. Really insane stuff. Always going to bat for the illegal immigrants. Never going to bat for the American people. Never going to bat for the rule of law. legislating from the bench, pretty simple, violating federal law, in my opinion. The feds control immigration. Why shouldn't the state have to cooperate with the feds? I mean, are we really to the point in this country? We're going to have a showdown between state law enforcement officials and ICE or federal immigration officials somewhere. That can't happen. And law enforcement officials locally should never be put in that situation. They're there to, they take an oath to enforce not only the law of the state, but also the laws of the United States of America. Federal supremacy is involved in the case of immigration. Now, but here's who they go to bat for. These are, they always send their best, these illegal aliens who come into the country. How about this one? This is from Oregon, a truck driver charged with killing a newlywed couple in a horrific crash in Oregon is an illegal immigrant who was granted a complaint. commercial driver's license in Gavin Newsom's California. This happened back on November 24th. It's a New York Post story that an illegal immigrant... From India, Rajner Kumar, 32 years old, was arrested after he jackknife his semi and collided with the vehicle, killing William Carter and his new wife, Jennifer Lauer. He was in the country illegally, having been released by the Biden administration, and an immigration detainer had been lodged against him. So thanks, Joe Biden, two American citizens dead because of your policies. Here's another one. This is actually in Colorado, another sanctuary state. Intoxicated illegal alien driving over 100 miles an hour kills a woman in the state of Colorado. An illegal driving over 100 miles an hour, 27, or he was 19 years old. Eduardo Parra Corral ran a red light. He struck a woman's vehicle, her name, 27 years old, Jasmine Faith Carpio. And he was a criminal illegal alien from Mexico. On November 9th, he committed this crime. He killed this woman. Ice took him into custody. And...
There you have it. There's another one. We have this guy. Oh, this is a nice guy. You know, one thing, don't go after kids. Don't go after animals. This guy went after a police dog. Illegal alien in California, sanctuary California. He killed a police dog Burbank, California named Spike. 37-year illegal alien is a shootout with the cops. He killed the police dog named Spike. Then the cops killed the illegal alien in the shootout. I didn't even mention Kate Steinley who was killed by an illegal alien. I didn't mention Rachel Moran, the mother of five from Maryland who was killed by an illegal alien. Illegal aliens killed a... A couple in central eastern Illinois, rural part of the state, illegal alien driving, killed a couple of people there earlier this year, killed a couple of, different illegal alien, killed a couple of college kids near the University of Illinois in Champaign County earlier this year. You get the idea. I mean, these people, it's really just sick how they always take the side of the illegal aliens, the progressive left, and they never take the sides of the American citizens who pay not only with money, but sometimes they pay with their lives because they're sending their best, right? No, actually, they're not. It is Jason Gotts with you, in for Dan O'Donnell. When we come back, you got to hear fake Jake, Jake Tapper on CNN. He gets it wrong back after this. You IBA in Madison. Fake news, fake news, and more fake news. The pipe bomber suspect Brian Cole Jr. was caught yesterday. So that's a big story. I was sitting in for Dan yesterday. We talked a lot about that on the program. More facts are coming out about that. They're still trying to uncover a lot of stuff. You're seeing all kinds of reports on this guy. But leave it to CNN's Jake Tapper to get it wrong. Capital attack. Brian Cole Jr., a 30-year-old white man from the D.C. suburbs is charged with transporting an explosive device in interstate commerce and with malicious destruction by means of explosion. CNN observed local and federal law enforcement outside his home in Woodbridge, Virginia this morning. Fake Jake, can always count on him. Brian Cole Jr. is a black man. Now, race should not really factor in at all here. This is not any type of racial crime. There's no any racial aspect. I don't know why you have to mention the guy's a white guy. He isn't even a white guy. He's a black guy. But why would you have to mention he's a black guy? It doesn't matter. I mean, it was a picture up there. His picture is all over the place. Jake Tapper, a 30-year-old white man. Always, always trying to make it a racial issue. Always trying to stir up racial tensions in this country. They always have to, they throw it in where it doesn't even matter. There's just no racial aspect to any of this. At least at this point that we know of in any report, there isn't any report that this guy was doing anything for racial reasons.
Black against white, white against black, black against somebody else, white against, nothing. But leave it to Jake Tapper. Fake Jake, who was writing books about, oh, Biden's decline was going on it. But before Biden, before Biden. short-circuited at the presidential debate in June of 2024. Jake Tapper was on TV. How dare you? How dare you, conservative guest? Question Joe Biden. People are saying he's as fit as he's ever been. The guy can't stay awake for more than a... 10 minutes at a time. You see him dozing off. The guy can't put two sentences together. A seven-year-old can speak better than Joe Biden, and he's mentally cognitive. You never see the guy. You can't question. Oh, Jake Tapper. No, no, no. You can't question that. You cannot do it. Then he. Then. Biden short circuits at the debate. And what happens? Jake Tapper. Oh, he's writing books, getting rich. Oh, how terrible it was. Joe Biden's cognitive decline. Who couldn't have saw that coming? How did this, this implosion in 2024? I mean, what a fake guy he is. And then he comes up with this, a 30-year-old. He can't even, that's a basic fact of the case. That really doesn't even need to be mentioned. But if you're going to mention it, at least get the. the race of the person correct when you mention it, but he doesn't. 30-year-old white man, give me a break. I mean, seriously, the fake news just keeps getting faker when you turn on CNN. Now, we come back. Big ruling by the CDC today, changing the childhood vaccine schedule. Jason Gotts in for Dan O'Donnell. We'll talk about that in hour two.
It is Jason Gotts. In for Dan O'Donnell. Great to have you aboard. News Talk, 1130, WISN, 1310, WIBA, and Madison. You want to jump in the advent knows.com talk and text line. That's your ticket to join the program. 414-799-1130. 414-799 1130. Later in the hour, we're going to have some fun. I'm going to solicit you on the talk and tax line. Your worst car story, not involving an accident, just a bad car incident because I had a terrible one, just an annoying one. I mean, it wasn't an accident, but I spent most of yesterday around my time on the air and I did something pretty dumb with my car. I'm going to let everybody know that even your humble feeling host, Jason Gotts, doesn't always get it right when it comes to the car. But the policy. Probably like 99.87, something like that. With sports, you can't get that right in sports at all. So probably like 60, 70%. But with the car, not so much, at least to start the great month of December. It's great to have you with us. But before we get to that fun topic, big news out of the CDC today. The CDC has changed the recommendation about when infants should get the hepatitis B vaccine. Prior to the change for the last few decades since this vaccine came out, it was recommended that just a few hours after birth... babies would get their first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine, at least in the United States. And then in later months, they would get the second dose. And then I believe around a year you would get dose number three. But with the CDC has done under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s direction and the advisors that he has put together, they have looked at the data. and the risks and the rewards, which I think with modern medicine today, that is all kind of pushed aside by the so-called public health experts. Anything you do with medicine is risk or reward. When people tell me, and I've had this, this was a debate I would have with people during the COVID era, or the COVID vaccine is 100% safe in effect. No, it's not. No medicine you take is 100% safe. Every single medicine you take has a side effect. Every single vaccine you take can have a side effect. There's a pro and a con. There's a positive. There's a negative. There's a risk and a reward. You take a simple antibiotic and it'll say you must take it with food. It'll say, don't take this. It can make you drowsy. That's a side effect. Is this a serious one? No, but it's a side effect. If you're going to drive a long way, you don't want to take a medication that's going to make you drowsy. Now, it's not life-threatening, but it's still a side effect. You get the idea. So what they've decided here, the CDC, is that if you look at hepatitis B, it's going to be passed onto a newborn if the mother has it. But it's very small segments of the population that will carry hepatitis B.
promiscuous sexual activity. That's a big one, intravenous drug use. And if you work in a hospital setting, that's another one. That's the more mainstream one that somebody who works in a hospital facility deals with people with hepatitis B could have this. But thankfully, we do have a test for mothers. before they give birth to see if you're hep be positive or negative. And there's treatments for hepatitis B. Obviously, they try and make sure they don't want to pass this to the baby. So if you're in a high risk group being born into the world, you come from a high risk group, rather. They will still say you can still recommend that vaccine for these people. What all the CDC did today was come out and they said, You should talk about it with your health people, your doctors, your nurses, and if you're not in a high-risk group, they're not going to recommend it for newborns. Now, the left, the progressive left, the so-called science cult, we'll talk about them in just a second. But they're up in arms about this. You're against the science. You're against the science. You're against the science. Now, a lot of these people used to scream, they don't do it as much anymore. because I think they're wackier than the Europeans. They used to always scream the far left. Well, Europe does it this way, and Europe is more enlightened. Europe is more advanced. We're backwards Americans. We're a bunch of John Hickenlooper hayseeds. We're not like the Europeans. The culture in Paris and in London and throughout Europe. We could never relate to that. Those people are so much smarter than us. I've never believed that. But the Europeans are in advanced society. It's first world countries over there. And almost all the European countries. Do not give the hepatitis B vaccine to babies that are not in high risk groups or come from mothers that are in high risk groups or not going to be around somebody who's in a high risk group. They do not give that until two months. And that's all this committee did was say, talk about it with your provider. And they didn't recommend starting this before two months because common sense and also vaccine inserts would say there are risks with any vaccine that you take. Despite Bill Cassidy, a Republican senator who's also a doctor, oh, this is 100% safe. It's 100% safe. People are going to die. No, not so much. Because they're not in high-risk groups. This was not for every single baby born. It was only the ones in the high-risk groups. Hey, get it one. You know, probably should get that day one. But if you're not in a high-risk group, you're not going to get hepatitis B. Why not wait two months to get your vaccine? Why not be in the world a little bit let your body develop rather than shooting vaccines into kids when they're 8, 12 hours old? Seems to be perfect common sense. Now, unfortunately, the doctors on this panel are demonized. Big Pharma's got a lot of power. The media's got a lot of power. The vaccine cultists have a lot of power. And I'm not saying I'm anti-vaccine. I'm common sense with it. Why would you? I wouldn't take a vaccine that I don't need. It doesn't make any sense. So. The vaccine cultists are really alarmed here. But the doctors on this panel, one of them is Dr. Robert Malone. And Robert Malone, he was speaking in Europe recently.
And he talked about the difference in U.S. and European vaccination involving the hepatitis B and at what stage kids get it in Europe versus the United States. And Robert Malone actually had this to say. For hepatitis B vaccine, there's another one that's really controversial. Asif was prepared to vote on advising the CDC to delay the first dose. Right now in the United States, when your baby is born, whether or not you, the parent. have hepatitis B. The first thing that baby gets is a vitamin K shot and hepatitis B shot. Now are they at significant risk for hepatitis B? No. Okay, but that's the policy and basically it's all wrapped around the public health logic that if we don't get them now, they're not going to come back later and get it. And so we better get them at birth. That's what's really going on. That's underlying all this logic. Now, there's Robert Malone right there explaining Europe, get them at birth, or rather the United States, get them at birth because they won't come back and get the vaccine. It's not about science, it's about the future. Science doesn't say you have to get it when you're born. If you're not in a high-risk group, they're worried you're not going to come back and get it. It's like when you buy something at the store and you say, oh, you know what, can you give me the stuff? I forgot my wallet in the car. They're not going to give you the stuff because they'll only come back and pay for it. You're going to come back and pay for this stuff? No, they're not going to give you. You have to pay for it right there. Better pull out a card or leave it there and come back and pay. It's that simple. They're worried you're not going to, you're never going to see you again. Adios out the door. Now. There have been studies that have shown the Hep B vaccine increases the risk of MS, lupus, arthritis, other autoimmune conditions. There have been France had a study. MS spike 65% after a national campaign for hepatitis B. Now, there's a lot of medical studies. I'm not saying that's 100% true. That's just one study out there. But, hey, why don't we wait a few months if the baby's not in a high risk group? A lot of common sense. Now, another doctor on this panel that... ultimately made the decision today. Her name is, let me find it for you here in my, yeah, Tracy Beth Hogg. That's exactly right. Thank you, producer Dave, picking me up right there. Tracy Beth Hogg explained how the Hep-B vaccine didn't go through the controls when it was originally tested of a lot of other vaccines that are currently on the market.
I mean, if we're talking about giving a universal, you know, birth dose, a universal recommendation, and we're talking about an extent, it's really important to keep in mind that the U.S. is an outlier in recommending a universal birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine compared to other high-income nations. And the data that we used to approve the hepatitis B vaccines, there's two, Angkorix and Recombivax vaccines for infants, were based on studies that had very short-term follow-up and no. control group. It wasn't like, you know, it wasn't like it was a randomized control trial against, you know, another, another vaccine. No, there was not, there was not even a control group. It was just an observational study. We would never approve a vaccine based on data like those today. So that's important to keep in mind. And then we have these five randomized control trials that were identified by the CDC at the last ACIP meeting that we discussed. And these are also, these are short term randomized control trials that, where the hepatitis B vaccine recombavax was given. and compared to other vaccines, so not compared to placebo. So we are working with very... low level evidence here. And we have very limited confidence in what we say when we say these vaccines are safe. And so, you know, we have established that it does cause anaphylaxis, rarely fever, reactogenicity. And so I think that I agree with RETSEF that we need to be humble. And when we're saying that we have the evidence that benefits outweigh the harms here of giving this vaccine. And again, I think that there's a reason that our peer nations to the United States do not recommend this. vaccine routinely at birth when the mother is Heppy surface antigen negative. And so I just wanted to make those statements from a regulatory perspective that we have a very low level of confidence in saying that, you know, we can say that these vaccines, that the benefits outweigh the risks with the amount of data that we currently have. There you go. Okay, there's a lot of science speak there. So I'm going to make this mainstream. So everybody understands this if you didn't follow the science legalese and all that kind of stuff. And, you know, the mumbo jumbo that she was speaking, which is a lot of good stuff. But it was, it's very technical. What he's saying is. This vaccine did not go through the same standards other vaccines do. They just observe people and said, hey, you know what? Look at that little baby looks okay. This vaccine's fine. It's safe. Look, that little baby looks okay. That's fine. That's safe. And oh, by the way, a lot of other developed countries around the world more than... what the U.S. does, say, we're going to wait a couple of months. This is all about waiting a couple of months for this vaccine, or in consulting with your health care providers, maybe you wait more than a few months for it. But you're not in a high risk group. You don't need to take it right away. It's that simple. The sky is not falling here. This is not a public health crisis. Oh, the American Academy of Pediatrics. Oh, they're up in arms. Well, those are the same people who believe in gender affirming care.
You know what gender affirming care is? Oh, there's nine-year-old Tommy. He picked up his sister's Barbie doll, and now he should become nine-year-old Tammy because the pediatricians say it. We support that American Academy of Pediatrics. That's our position. We support gender affirming care. Like, I trust you guys. If the American Academy of Pediatrics tells it about my kid on any controversy, I'm running to the door. I'm running out the stadium like Forrest Gump did away from those people. I don't trust them one bit. So when they come out for, oh, this is an alarming thing. The American Academy, a pediatric says, though, you should be vaccinating your newborn, 12 hours. No, sorry, I don't trust you guys. I trust this Robert F. Kennedy Jr. panel a lot more than I'm going to trust you guys. And oh, by the way, remember just a few years ago when you said the COVID vaccine? Remember the COVID vaccine controversy? I try to push that on every American citizen, even little kids. when it was an experimental vaccine. Remember the great Anthony Fauci, who if you could bet, I wish there would have been a betting line in 2020 to bet against Anthony Fauci what he said for two years in Las Vegas around these online gambling sites. I would be doing this show. I'm getting a limousine to drive me here every day and have the biggest house in the state of Wisconsin or in the entire Midwest because I'd be so rich betting against everything Anthony Fauci said. Here's what Anthony Fauci said on MSNBC in early 22 when the Delta variant was going around about the great COVID vaccines. If you're vaccinated, you don't have a risk. And that's the reason why we say it's as simple as black and white. You've vaccinated, you're safe, you're unvaccinated, you're at risk. Simple as that. Top public health expert in the United States at the time. Complete misinformation. At one point, more vaccinated people were dying of COVID than unvaccinated people. And this guy's telling you, if you take the COVID vaccines, you are black and white. You're going to be safe. You're going to be fine. Complete misinformation. Complete junk science that this guy endorsed. This was the guy who admitted, oh, yeah, the six feet thing and the mask. Yeah, you know, we just kind of made that up along the way. Yeah, kind of like made, you know, he kind of made that up along the way. Mr. Public Health expert that every progressive kneels at his altar is he some kind of expert. You go against what that guy says, even going back to the 80s with AZT and AIDS drugs. And what he was, he was, guys always wrong. Anthony Fauci, just awful. Now, here, now Joe Biden said, Joe Biden, you know, he probably was fed this. Joe Biden probably didn't know what century it was when he said this. But here's what Joe had to say during the COVID crisis. The various shots that people are getting now cover that. You're okay. You're not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations. How come Anthony Fauci came out in 2024, like six COVID shots and you got COVID?
I'll admit it. I've never gotten the COVID. Have you got it fine? It's your thing. It should be a personal choice. It should be out there. I never got it. COVID one time, New Year's Day, 20, 23. And all these people I know that get COVID multiple COVID Johnson always get COVID. I don't know. I mean, it's amazing. And if you want to get it, it's fine. I believe in medical freedom in that regard. If the medications are available, you want to take them, you think it's right. Just don't force them on other people. And same thing, enforcing this Hep B vaccine at birth on a baby doesn't make any sense to me if you're not in a high risk group. But we're supposed to kneel at the altar of these public health experts. And they're wrong on the biggest things. And I love those houses. You ever go about water is life. Reproductive rights are human rights. Science is real. I trust the science, those stupid left-wing signs on those lawns. I always want to go up to one of those people and go. Oh, yeah, you trust the science, right? Oh, yeah, I trust the science. Did you trust the science in 1970? Yeah, of course. You trust the science in 19. Oh, I trusted the science in 1950. Oh, I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really, in 1950, they were telling you to smoke a cigarette, a menthol cigarette, to clear your throat. By 1970, they weren't doing that. So you trusted the science. Do you trust the science in 2025? Of course I do. Well, do you think the science in 2075 is going to be the same as the science in 2025? 50 years throughout, do you think the science is going to be any different? Of course it is. Science evolves. It changes. We learn more. So the idea that you couldn't learn more about a vaccine as it's being used and being in development and then get from development gets into the public sphere and you realize that, hey, maybe it's not the best thing for kids. You can wait, oh, two months if you're not in a high risk group. And these people all go nuts because they have no cognitive reasoning skills to understand that not every medication is for everybody. It drives me absolutely insane. It really does. It really does. So I think this is just a common sense thing. If you're not in a high risk group, Hep B vaccine. Wait a couple of months. Oh, by the way, it's so crazy. Almost all the European countries do that. And it's for a reason. You don't want to dump as many medications as you can into a 12-hour old kid. It's common sense. It's Jason Gotts, in for Dan O'Donnell, News Talk, 11, 30 WISN, 1310, WIBA, and Madison. Next segment, I am going to open up the phones and the text line, because I want to hear if you have a nightmare car story that just made you feel like an absolute fool, because I'm going to share mine what I did. Yeah, my Thursday yesterday around hosting for Dan, it was an interesting day. Let's just put it that way. We'll talk about that. More political stuff to do later in the hour as well. You're going to want to hear a crazy representative from the state of Michigan. I got that audio. He's nuts. We'll have it for you after this.
B.A. and Madison, great to have you aboard for the ride. 414 writes me, how many COVID boosters are there 10 plus? I'm probably up to about 50 right now. I'm being facetious. Yeah, probably 10. This is amazing. We had the tetanus shots as a kid. You know, I was. from the era where there weren't like 80 vaccines by the time you're 10. You took a few vaccines when I was a kid, but a lot of them last for the duration of your life. You take the polio vaccine. Never have to get it again. I did take a tetanus shot in, I think it was 2016. I had terrible reaction to that. The doctor told me, I was helping my dad out, and he was doing some outside work on his house. We did it the summer. We did it like the fascia boards, the trim on his house, the windows. It was around a lot of rusty nails and things like that. So I took a tetanus shot a Friday before I was going to do some sports radio. I had a national sports radio program at the time. And I asked the doctor, I said, is this tetanus shot going to, is it going to knock me down at all? Like, I can't, I got to work Saturday and Sunday. I got three hours on Saturday. I got five hours on Sunday. I got eight hours of radio. I cannot, I can't. Doctors are like, oh, no, it's fine, no side effects. Saturday I wake up. lip nodes in the neck are swollen. Doctors not in Friday or Saturday. Limp nodes are swollen. I got like 102 fever. I can't call in. It's Saturday. It's radio. This is my show. I cannot. There's not, it's going to be hard for the program director to find this up. But I got to tough this out. So I had a blanket on. I actually brought a blanket. I had water. I was into my home studio at the time. And it was, I mean, every segment. It was, every segment was. I'd drink water. I'd walk around. It was brutal. I just having a bad cold. Now, was there a long-term effect? Hopefully not. But when they say there's no effect of these. No, they're... There wasn't effect. I felt like I had a bad flu. I called the doctor. He's like, oh, that happens sometimes. And I actually told the guy, I go, I had a work over the weekend. Could you have not done this on Monday? He's like, well, we don't consider that really a side effect. And I'm like, well, yeah, it was. It was a tough eight hours. I mean, it could be a lot worse, but I wouldn't have taken the darn thing on a Monday, probably wouldn't have taken the darn thing, you know, until I knew I had a week off or something like that. If I wanted to protect myself from working outside, you know, taking a break from that, get the dent and a shot when I could be knocked down for a few days. But get the idea. These medications, they're always.
side effects when you take a medication or a vaccine. If people are telling you it's 100% not going to happen, they're telling you the truth. I mean, even there's vaccine inserts. There's inserts with antibiotics and things like that that tell you, hey, there are risks associated with this. Now, on a little bit lighter topic, I'm going to open up the advent knows.com talk and text line for you. If you want to jump in 414-7991130, 414-7991130. Good Friday topic for you here. Awful car stories when your car just went out on you or something bad happened to your car. Not an accident. That stuff is a lot more serious than this. This is a little more lighthearted because yesterday. So let me set this up. So we have two cars. Our family has two cars. One gets you to point B if you're going a few miles. You don't want to risk that. You know, maybe a 10 mile radius as far as you want to go. Our other car in good shape. So I was jockeying cars yesterday. My dad was going to let me use his car because I had to work here at News Talk 1130 WISN and also you hear it on 1310 WIBA in Madison. But I wanted to be, it's always important to make sure you get to work. It's like I haven't missed. I've never missed work for a reason other than being sick. And that's like usually once every 10 years. Hopefully that continues as I start to age a little bit. It's still a middle age guy. But. I don't like putting other people into a tough situation. And when you miss work, especially on the radio, they've got to find a sub for you. It happens something. Don't like to do that. So you always want to be on time. It's an important thing. Be early. Don't have other people stress. Make life eat. Everybody does that. Things flow smoothly. So go with my dad's like, I use my car today. So I'm driving our good car. My wife's actually driving. I'm riding the passenger seat. And we're driving, and we go over some railroad tracks. And my wife's like, do you hear that? I'm like, oh, no, I've already got the spare on the car. because I know I was supposed to get tires. It's the holiday season. I was actually going to order them next week. It takes a little while to get the tires I need for our vehicle. And I get out. She pulls over. I get out of the car. I'm like, oh, spare looks good. And I look on the other side, on the other side in the back. Oh, no, flat as a pancake. Absolutely flat as a pancake. So, of course, because I'm the genius on this, like, a few mile journey from our house to my dad's house, I don't bring a jacket. And I'm like, my dad's not home. I'm like, well, I got the key to his house. I don't have an air pump. I'm going to walk the mile. It turned out it was a mile and a half. I got a pullover on it. My hands are freezing. My face is freezing. The pullover actually kept me warm, but I'm the guy out there. People are all bundled. I got no jack. And I'm just walking, trying to build the heat up. Okay. Get to his house. Get his car. Pick up some run flat. That doesn't work. So leave the car there. get my wife home head up to work after work it's dark it's a little strip mall the car hopefully hasn't been towed i didn't tell anybody it was going to sit there but hopefully somebody has mercy on the vehicle with the flat tire go i'm like i got our big air pump after work i'm going to stop there maybe the big air pump will work the run flat stuffed in the little air pump didn't work at the big air pump like
Got an extension cord. No, I forgot the extension cord. So on the way, I'm like, if I said, it didn't work? I'm like, no, I forgot the extension cord, honey. So I changed my clothes after work. I bundle up. I take the big pump. I take the extension cord. I also take the other tire that was on the car because the leak on that one's not as bad. I could actually flip the tires if I had to. I get out there. I'm actually listening to the lions and the cowboys in the car. And I'm like, oh, I kind of want to watch the end of this game because I like sports. And I'll hopefully I'll just pump the air pump on there. I'll go home, pick up my wife. She'll, I'll drive this car. She'll drive the other car. We'll be good. We home in like 45 minutes. No, the thing only takes like nine. Nine pounds per air. You know, per pound or whatever. The air pressure is only nine. Nine point six, I think. So I'm like, all right, well, I'm going to try and change tires. I change tires. I've changed tires. I've changed tires. I put the other spare on it. I can do this. Even a guy like me, I'm not a mechanic. I can change a tire. Well, it's zero degrees out there. I mean, these bolts ain't budging. I put all 230, 220 pounds of me. I actually, like, put my foot on the little wrench. Oh, the bolts ain't coming. Or the lug nuts ain't coming off those bolts. They're frozen. Lugnuts and bolts are frozen. So I'm like, what am I going to do? Like, I don't have a spare anymore. It's on the car. I can't get the bad, the best of the bad tires of the core. So it's like 10 o'clock at night. And I'm like, okay, my dad's house is a mile and a half away. There's nine pounds of pressure in the tire. This isn't smart, but I don't know what else to do. It isn't smart. This is not a good decision. But I'm going to do it anyway. Get in the car. Get it on the main road. Put the flashers on. I do not drive more than five miles an hour. Most of the time, two and three, that mile and a half, mostly on side streets. And I get the thing into my dad's driveway at like 10, 10.30 at night. I just pull it into his driveway. Our friend in the neighborhood is a mechanic. He's got a little power wrenches that can eventually get those bolts all, bolts free lug nuts and bolts all loosened up and everything like that. And we'll worry about it later. But I... Then I'm like, should I ring my, should I call my dad? It's 10.30. I'm not going to call him. If he gets a call 10, 10.30. So I'm like, okay, at least got the coat on. I walked a mile and a half back to the car that's functioning. And I go home and I say, you know what I do? I'm doing show prep because I'm not worried about this car to the weekend. And the funny thing is, that this is not my worst car story. This is not my worst car story at all. My worst car story goes back to 2005, okay? Dave's looking. This is a bad one. But 2005, I'm working as a member of the Chicago media. I am in covering the Chicago Bulls. I'm driving back from the United Center. I'm one of the May, Ogden Avenue. My car I knew always got 20 miles a gallon, and I always wanted to get gas in the suburbs. I was on the low fuel light.
All of a sudden, I'm about a mile from the United Center, approaching a gas station, car starts to run out of gas. I know it because I can tell, like, I'm like, oh, I guess I'm not getting as good a gas mileage I used to get. This is really dumb. I'm a younger guy at the time. What do I do? I'm like, I don't have a gas can. I take, because I lived in an apartment, I take an old container of all detergent that I thought was empty and rinsed out, put gas in there at the gas station, put it in the tank. Then I get the car to the gas station. I fill it up. About two days later, car, sir, oh, good, gunged up your injectors. Did you put it? Yeah, they're like, yeah, you never do that. So I admit at times, look, I'm mostly good with the cars. I actually keep them for the most part functioning good. But there are times I have big time brain cramps. Absolutely. Big time brain cramps when it comes to the car. Back in 2005, and I told my dad about it, and my mom, she was with us at the time. She's passed away since. But she was like, they're like, really? They're like, you, why don't you call? I'm like, well, you're 20 miles away, and it's 10.30 at night. I'm not going to call you to come in the city and get me because my car ran out. Like, well, do you think about taking a bus, like, to a 24-hour store? Do you think about, like, calling a cab and to... No, I thought I was going to do a shortcut and it didn't quite work out that way. So those are my two worst car story. If you want to chime in, the advent knows.com talking text line, it's 414-799 1130. 414-799 1130. I do have some people that are chiming here on the text line. I got the 262 chiming in. Adam writes, I had a 72 cutlist when I was in high school. Classic Oldsmobile vehicle. My first car was an 84 Oldsmobile Cutlist Sierra. So Adam and I are like spirit animals here driving the Oldsmobiles. He writes, when I was driving down in college, I heard a ping and then another ping and a third ping and the rear tire fell off. Somehow the tire did not go flying down. I guess he's talking about College Street here. And it did not kill anybody. It ended up right behind the car. Three studs broke. So yeah, that's a nightmare. tire flying off a car. It actually happened to me once, too. It was not my fault. I was driving understate 55 after a Rams Bears game in 2006 driving home near Bloomington, Illinois. And that happened to me. You had to get a tow truck and everything. That was not. But yeah, that's not a fun thing when the tire fly. And then you have, yeah, you have to, especially when you're not, I did it in the middle of the night. But Adam here, when he's driving, I don't know the time he did it, you know, but that tire can be a lethal weapon. I mean, it was, yeah, that can be a scary thing. What happens flies off a car, no doubt about it. Good story there from Adam. And he also adds, remember we had emissions testing and you actually had to go to the station. They put the hose on to my exhaust. It wouldn't stay on. So some guy held it on with his foot and pulled the whole exhaust system down off my car. I hope, Adam, I hope they paid for that. Because even if you're old, if it was the 72 Cutlass, even if it was all rusty, That was their responsibility. I mean, they put their foot on the hose, and that touches your exhaust system. That's on them. So they should have paid for that one. I got the 414 writing me. This is John who's writing.
He writes, my car incident. I was 17, starting senior year of high school, my parents' AMC ambassador with, that's an American motors car. Love it. Absolutely love it. Sears Radio Tires, Labor Day weekend, pretty late at night, headed to my girlfriends. I saw some headlights in my mirror in a distance back, and next time I looked, they were on me. I tried to step on the gas and swerve right, but the Volkswagen Beetle hit the corner of my car before I could get out of the way, spun me around like a top. Time stood still. I actually realized what that had meant I would see gravel, then some bushes oncoming cars, utility poles, and I saw it again and again. But those bushes with quick thinking were my cushion to avoid turning over and hitting the cars coming at me. I did land on those bushes. Old man comes out, running out, yelling at me, screaming that ruined his bushes. True story, the guy in the Beatle was drunk. He was pretty banged up. He was surprised he wasn't hurt worse. He was bleeding in the back of the police car, and the officers let this gentleman, John out. when he complained. Then there was other stuff going on with this story. But he did end up with a pretty cool 68th Plymouth Fury that his friends will never forget out of the whole incident. So there you go. I mean, I got some other ones. We'll get to these as the show progresses. I always appreciate people chiming in on the phones and the text line. In fact, you know what we're going to do? Let's go. Before we take a break, let's go real quick to the phone lines. We'll go to AJ in Hale's Corners. AJ, you're on the air at WISN News Talk 1130 with Jason Gottsin for Dan O'Donnell. What's on your mind? I'll give you my horror story, or at least scary. I race cars, and I put my car back together, and part of it was putting part of the steering back together. So I go to race the car, and I go out and I race it for a whole race. I win the race, and then I drive to put it on the trailer. And when I try to put it on the trailer, the steering wheel goes around like... It's not hooked to anything. That's scary. You got no steering. I had no steering. Honestly, I don't know why that car didn't happen while I was racing, but I obviously I finished a race in one. But. You know, when you race it out there's a turn called the kink. If they didn't let go there, I'd have to put a new car together, if not my body. AJ, great story. Thanks for checking. Enjoy your weekend. Good stuff there from AJ. That's a scary thing. Actually, what AJ says there kind of relates to my story in a different way. So my wife's family is from Ohio. We actually ended up coming back from Ohio on Wednesday in this car. And this happened on Thursday. It would have been awful to happen on I-74 between Cincinnati area and Indianapolis or coming back up north on I-65 or any other interstates. That would have been a true nightmare to spare in the car. So I guess small prayers answered. At least it happened in an area that I knew and it didn't inconvenience us too bad. But yeah, I thought my story was scary. AJ with no steering, at least it was when he was putting it on the trailer. I can imagine being in a race car on a track and having no steering.
chime in throughout the program. We're welcome to do so. Advent knows.com talking text line. 414-799-1130. It is Jason Gotts in for Dan O'Donnell. We come back. An obscure Michigan representative. Boy, this guy's nuts. We'll talk about that right after this. Great plans for the weekend. I was going to say, for some of you a great start to your weekend. You're probably already headed out of the office or whatever you do for a living. Maybe some of you're just getting out of the office. Regardless, hope it's a, you stay warm. Enjoy the football. Got some football this weekend. I hear there's a big game at Lambo Field between the Packers and the Bears. I hear that's going to happen at 325 central time on Sunday. So that should be fun. Hey, the Packers and the Bears rivalry has not been a good one over the last 30 years. It's been all Packers. So at least both sides can say the game means a lot this year. That's a good thing. It's a good thing as a football fan when the game means a lot. When your top rival, you actually really care about beating them and you're not like, oh, thank goodness, we did beat them because it would have been embarrassing to lose to him. Both teams pretty good this year. It should be a fun game at Lambo Field on Sunday afternoon. News Talk 1130, WISN, 1310, WIBA, and Madison, the advent knows.com talking text line open for you. 414-7991130. I was telling my nightmare car stories, one that happened yesterday. It's still in progress. I think the way this is going to end for me is the car with the flat tire that already has a sparing-up in my dad's driveway. My buddy who lives in the neighborhood, he's going to bring out one of his big... tools, the wrenches. He's got a power wrench. He's going to get that off. Somehow I'll probably put a patch on one of the tires. We'll get it to the tire shop. And thank goodness to have good friends who will help you out because other than that, it would probably be costing a lot of money to tow that car. But I've got one guy here, 414. It doesn't have a name. So man or woman texting me from the 414. Wow, you need to have a leased car and keep it current explanation point. Some people don't have a clue. I'm not that bad with cars, really. My wife, I mean, normally I can keep the cars up to date. and this time I let it slide. Really not that much. I just had, I think, some bad luck with the tires. They weren't in that bad of shape. They still didn't go down to the indicator. The old Lincoln Head Penny trick. Actually, it still was not completely gone. But, yeah, I learned a lesson. Don't mess with tires. Like, when in doubt, pay for the new tires. It's a good idea to do that. I had another person chime in here. Let me find that one for you on the text line. This is the, oh, this is Matt from Lomira. He's a 920, texter. He writes at the same exact time, my stepbrother leaving work at the same place, hit the stoplights on the other side of town. So that's, yeah, that's a scary thing when you do something like that. Hit the stoplights. Don't, don't ever want to do something like that. See, my thing wasn't scary. It was more of a nuisance. And what did I do and how is it going to cost me money? Now, the question is, did that nine pounds of pressure in the tire? Did that actually...
hold the tire well enough where I didn't damage the rim. I don't think when you go like three miles an hour, you're going to damage the rim. I just, you know, I looked it up. People said, don't do it. I went the mile and a half on nine pounds of pressure. Fingers crossed, look up to the sky, say a little prayer and hope I'm not out a few hundred more bucks. But I don't think so. It sounded like it was actually okay, but I'll probably know more about that next week. A lot more texters chiming in. So we'll get to those a little bit later on this show. I got a lot of stuff planned for next hour as well. A Michigan representative off the rails, Jasmine Crockett, no surprise what she's been up to. And the worst name in politics, we'll talk about that next hour. But right back after the break, Jason Gotts for Dan O'Donnell, more after this. Jason Gotts in for Dan O'Donnell, News Talk, 1130 WISN, 1310, WIBA, and Madison. We're going to sprinkle in some of your nightmare car stories. I really hit a chord here on the tax line. I've got them roll in like left and right. They are just flying in. When you own a car for maybe only a few days or maybe like 30 years, you're... Something happens. I mean, it does. The text came in out of order here. Matt from Lomaira story. I missed the best part of it. So I shared that before the break. About this time of year, 10 years ago, Matt started the story saying my heater wasn't working and I cleared the windows and then pulled out on the road and the windows became frosted. I lost my sense of direction. Hit the stoplights and they came down through the back window. So, Matt, that's a nightmare. But I get not driving. You're trying it rather when the heater isn't working because, I mean, you live in the upper Midwest. The heater isn't working. You're going to clear the window as best you can. And if the heat and the defroster aren't working, yeah, those windows can fog up real quick. But then Matt continued, and this is the part I read on the air at the exact same time. His stepbrother was leaving work at the same place and hit the stoplights on the other side of town. So rough night for that family with the stoplights. And then I've got another 414 texter saying, that they really like the show. They're enjoying me filling in for Dan. It's always nice to keep the big chair warm for him. He'll be back next week. But this texture wrote from the 414. I drove my 95 transam. That's a cool car, by the way. I wanted a transam in 95. Those were cool cars. I think they redesigned him, and 94 was the first year of that series of the Transam. But drove their Transam to Detroit to 95 for the Woodward Dream Cruise, and the fuel pump went out. This person didn't want anyone to know working on the car. so they had a towed back to Milwaukee. That's caring for your car. I like that. I should take some advice there. I'm caring for my car a little better. Didn't want a stranger working on the car. So the car towed back to Milwaukee for $550 back in 2001. With Biden inflation, that would probably cost three grand a day to get the car towed back. So that's a good story too. And then somebody here said, I need meeting me, your humble host, Phil and host Jason Gotch. Needs to have a leased car and keep that car current because apparently some don't have a clue. I mentioned that before. But yeah, I'm going to do better. That's that text right there. I'm going to be on top of things a lot better here going forward. My responsibility is a car owner. We'll keep sprinkling some of your fun car tax in next hour. But next hour, big decision by the Supreme Court came out today of what the case they're going to hear. We're going to talk about that, this crazy Michigan congressperson. We'll talk about that too. Also.
Letisa James must have been born with a rabbit's foot. He's avoiding what probably should be an indictment. We'll get into all that. It's Jason Gotch. In for Dan O'Donnell, News Talk 11, 30 WISN, 1310, WIBA. Roll along with you on a Friday afternoon. It is Jason Gotch. Hope you're enjoying the holiday season. Sit in for Dan O'Donnell. He'll be back in the big chair next week. Happy to be here. Keeping things rolling while Dan is away for a couple of days. It is News Talk 1130, W-I-S-N, 1310, W-I-B-A and Madison, the Advent-Nose.com talk and text line, 414-799-11-30. 414-799 1130. Also, you can find me on Twitter at Jason Gotts, G-O-C-H on that last name spelling. A lot of people look for it online. They look for G-O-T-C-H. It sounds like it should be that way, but it isn't. So if you want to find me on X, Twitter. At Jason Gotts is my Twitter handle. The Supreme Court today coming out with a decision, not an actual decision, but they've decided to hear President Trump's challenge to birthright citizenship. For those of you unfamiliar, most of you in the audience probably are, but I'll explain because Supreme Court cases always can be a little bit complicated. Basically, this is the 14th Amendment challenge where the 14th Amendment has been recognized and interpreted. This is a post-Civil War amendment that if you are born in the United States, regardless of you are born here. of illegal alien parents or a parent. If you are born here traveling, if you're born on U.S. soil, you are an American citizen. And President Trump has challenged this. and the Supreme Court is going to hear oral arguments early next year. This is one of those decisions that would come probably, I would think, in late June. The court can rule really at any time, but most of the big decisions come in mid to late June. And the U.S. is one of 30 countries, including Canada and Mexico, that offers automatic citizenship to nearly everybody born here. This was added, this 14th Amendment, as I said, post-Civil War 1868. The 14th Amendment was really adopted for this reason so that freed slaves would be citizens. There would be no challenge that people who were born here and were slaves, they would say, oh, well, you know, you're not an American citizen. No, that's why that was added. And at the time, it was a noble thing to do. But I don't think that people who added this in 1868 would have ever thought that tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of people.
would be here illegally based on the fact, or be here legally, I should say, be here legally based on the fact that people came in the country illegally and they were born here. So you know, tens of thousands, 100, who knows over the years how many people have come here illegally and had kids. And that's what they use the term anchor baby. Very simple, because once you have a kid on American soil and American citizens, you're not going to throw out the parents. At least historically, we don't do that. And this has become a very serious issue in the country, again, because we've opened the border. Joe Biden opened the border. Progressive left Democrats open the border. So this isn't, oh, we have a small problem with a few illegal aliens in the country. They have kids. It's not a huge issue. We'll just. We'll deal with that part of the problem. It's not something we need to address. President Trump comes in and says, look, resources are being strained everywhere. And this is especially true in the hospital and the school system. You think about when you have illegal aliens here and they have their kids in the schools. And all of a sudden what happens? The budget gets busted. Same thing in the hospitals. The budget gets busted. There's not enough money to go around. The one thing the left will never understand. They just do not understand dollars and cents. They do not understand economics. They do not understand a simple positive and negative sides of any ledger. I mean, when most of us run our households, and I am by no means a rich man, I am a middle class guy. But I understand, hey, there are expenses here. There's the money coming in. That's got a balance. Hopefully there'll be a little more money coming in than you spend. But it can't be I spend 10 times more than I bring in because that leads to something called bankruptcy. And nobody wants to be in bankruptcy court. Nobody wants to be bankrupt. That's a bad thing. So when I go to the store and I'm thinking back to last segment, I know people are listening to say, this guy's so, he's got to understand to spend some money. He's got to put tires on that car where the car keeps getting flat tires. Yeah, true, I do. But when I go to the store, okay, and I see something. My grandmother, she had a great phrase. And she was a depression person. She grew up in the depression. And, you know, then the depression lingered. And she ended up having kids and, you know, I got married, had a couple kids in the depression. One of them was my mother. And they would always tell the stories. The kids would eat every day. My grandparents, we never took relief. And we didn't, you know, certain days we ate large sandwiches because that was left of what we could buy. Some days we didn't eat anything. because it was that bad in the Depression. But my grandmother would go through the store. I would drive her after my grandfather died. And she'd be pushing that cart. And I knew the value of money. I was actually pretty good money in high school. I wasn't a spent. But she would always look at the shelves and go, do I want it? Yes. Do I need it? No. It's not on sale. I'd be like, come on, Graham. I mean, you're your late 70s. You're not in the best of health. If you like the Mandarin oranges and they're $1.50, buy them.
Don't have to be on sale for 99 cents. Just buy the Mandarin oranges. You like them. No, she wouldn't do it. She's disciplined. And as I got older, I understood that, you know, what she did was she was, she understood even though she had the money. She didn't want to be back to where she was when she was in her late teens through her 20s. She understood what happened. And it was fresh in her mind because that's such a traumatizing amount in your life when you're that poor and what was going on. And the same thing is when most of us live our lives, whatever experience we have had with money, we want to make sure we know people who've been through bad things, who want to make sure we're responsible. The left is not. They do not do, they don't care. They just believe in printing money, which leads to inflation, which leads to hyperinflation. They put no value on your money. They'll take it through taxes, unfair taxation, unfair redistribution. And this is one of the big things that goes to this birthright citizenship case, is because... When you're having people illegally tens of millions of people, what they estimate, 20 million illegal immigrants? The minute they have that kid, it's a million times hard to kick him out. So the Trump administration is challenging this saying, no, this does not, in 1868, this did not apply to illegal aliens coming in the country from third world countries, from second world countries, from even first world countries. This is not what the, this was not, should not be interpreted this way. Now, what do I think is going to happen in this case? I think, I think the president's going to lose. I think the Supreme Court is going to uphold because if you actually read the amendment, it was written in a way that is pretty concrete in its meeting. I'm going to read it to you right now. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the states wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction. the equal protection of the laws. The most important part of what I read was that first sentence. All persons born are naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and of the states they resided. You can try and interpret any way you want. What you really would have to do here in my opinion, and again, I'm not an attorney. I'm not a judge. I've never been an attorney. I've never been a judge. But the Constitution was written so common people like me and you could read it if you're not an attorney either or a judge. that's pretty clear it's going to be interpreted that people born in this country are citizens. So what's the next step here? It's real simple. You have to enforce the border. You have to strictly enforce the border. You have to use ICE. You have to use other means to get people who are in this country illegally out of the country. That's how you're going to have to solve the problem. Now, I hope I'm wrong on this. I actually hope I'm wrong on this one. I hope they interpret it in a way and say, although that again, consistency if they do interpret this in a way that it is not written that opens the door to other the second amendment for example that's very clear
Gun rights should not be abridged by states and the federal government for law-abiding citizens. But if they start reading something into this where they interpret in a John Roberts, Obamacare, I'll make it into a tax, even though it never was written as a tax, because I want to play both sides of the fence because I like being Switzerland in the middle. And even though that's not my job as a judge to write law, I'm going to do that to save Obamacare because I don't want bad articles written about me in the New York Times and the Washington Post. If that kind of stuff happens, with this amendment, who knows what could happen with other things? So it's a little bit, it's a tricky issue here. But I think the Supreme Court ultimately is going to say the amendments written the way it is. If you want to change that, you're going to have to change the amendment. And that's not going to happen. So enforcement of the border is really we're going to have to look to here to prevent this situation, which is already out of control from even getting more to control with illegal aliens in the country. We have the border control now. But you got to kick the people out that are here illegally. It's pretty simple. If you're here as an immigrant legally welcome. But if you're not legally here, it's time to hit the road. And it's time for ICE to be able to enforce the law in any state, any municipality, any jurisdiction in this country. They should not be impeded in doing their jobs. They're protecting the lives of American citizens, the safety of American citizens. And they're also... When you think about those ICE agents, they're in danger every day. They are in danger. The way the left treats those people and wants to out them and threatens to prosecute them, wants their face is shown. You know why they want their face is shown? Because they want to terrorize them. They want to terrorize them and their families. They want to docks them. They want to intimidate people from being ICE agents. That's exactly why. They want that information out there on IceA. They want to know who they are so they can intimidate it. That's the left's game. Intimidation at this point. It is Jason Gotch in for Dan O'Donnell. This is News Talk 1130 WISN, 1310, WIBA in Madison. You want to get in the advent knows.com talking text line. 414799 1130. 414799 1130. Now, there's this. This guy, he's so out of his rocker. His name is Sri Fandahar. He's a representative from the state of Michigan. He is all upset about, again, Pete Hegseth, the Department of Defense, they took out another narco terrorist boat yesterday. But this representative from the state of Michigan is so upset. at the Department of Defense, protecting America, dealing with terrorists, and protecting American citizens. Here's what he wants to do to Pete Hegseth. Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is uniquely unqualified for his role. Every day, it becomes clearer that he is engaging in unlawful, illegal activity. That is why today I am preparing... two articles of impeachment against secretary of defense pete hexet one for murder and conspiracy to murder and another for reckless and unlawful mishandling of classified information
Recently, Pete Hegseth has been under increased scrutiny for his direct orders to kill everybody on a small civilian boat off the coast of Venezuela, which had no indication of being hostile. The boat was not hostile. It's loaded with illegal drugs headed to the United States because, of course, flood the American Republic with illegal drugs. That's good for a prosperous, secure, and safe society for citizens. That's a good idea. And by the way, Pete Hegseth didn't order that strike. Again, these guys read the Washington Post and they take it as the Bible. So they do. Oh, the Washington Post said it. Well, it wasn't true. Admiral Bradley was up there yesterday saying, no, Pete Hegseth didn't order it. The New York Times even had to tell the truth and said, Pete Hegseth did not order that second strike. And the Washington Post said, or not the Washington, the ABC News, Martha Raditz said, oh, by the way, there are reports that those narco terrorists were in the water, they climbed back on the boat and they were as tempting to salvage the load of drugs. That's why it was struck a second time with JAG officers there to provide the legal basis to say it was okay to do that. But the American left and this guy from Michigan, they'll always rally around the bad guys. And I get really sick and tired. This really drives me nuts. When people say these narco-terrorists, these drug cartels, oh, they're innocent boat, people on a boat, you know, their cargo load, it's not hurting America. Really? You know how many people die in this country of drug overdoses? Over 100,000 people a year die from that poison these people bringing the country. 9-11, we can all agree. It was horrific. It was the worst day of my lifetime as an American citizen as far as not personal, but as far as what happened in the country. About 3,000 people died on 9-11. More in the ensuing years, the dust and all that kind of stuff, first responders, obviously not minimizing that at all. But think about that. About 33 times the amount of people that died on 9-11 die in this year of drug overdoses. And you have these drug cartels now lacing illegal recreational drugs with fentanyl to make it even more deadly. These are the evil of the evil. They're involved with human smuggling, sex trafficking. They're involved with making drugs even deadlier than they are. And I'm not excusing people. who use recreational drugs. Look, that's a poor life choice. People make mistakes. But a lot of people now are paying that one time. They do it one time. They're paying with their life. And there's a lot of people, too. Purdue Pharma. You think back to that scandal. Oh, all these opiates, they're healthy. They're okay for it. They're going to take away your pain. Oh, by the way, they're addictive. That wasn't included in the description from science and from big pharma. Oh, by the way, on second thought, they're addictive. And you use these things and you can't get the prescription anymore. And guess what you do? You go find it in the black market and you're finding other stuff too that's laced in and things like that. And you're having drug overdoses. So don't tell me that this stuff is not harmful and these boats are not harmful. They're poisoning Americans and killing Americans every day with this stuff they bring in the country. And the Democrats instead of saying, hey, you know what, our guy Obama was thrown in American citizens.
Joe Biden is blown up people delivering water in Afghanistan. Oh, by the way, maybe Pete Hegseth's doing the right thing here because we made a lot of mistakes in our military actions. But at least Pete Hegseth has taken out some drug dealers. No, no, no. We've got to impeach him because the facts right. It's absolutely insane. It's Jason Gottsin for Dan O'Donnell News Talk, 1130 WISN, 1310, WIBA, and Madison. We're going to get some more on the text line. Also, when we come back, do you remember Biden's Easter Bunny? Do you remember this story? Biden's Easter Bunny. I'm going to take you in the way back machine, jump into Delorean like Marty McFly and Back to the Future. We'll go back a few years for that one because she's in the news again. We're going to talk about her. And also. And you're not going to want to hear the average voter in L.A. talking about SNAP benefits. But you will because I do you a public service. We'll do all that right after this. I was listening to this show yesterday. She's like, when you talked about being three weeks till Christmas in your long list. of things to do for Christmas. You're getting people stressed out there. No, not my goal. Maybe I was. I apologize if you were getting stressed by what I was saying, but I was motivating myself, motivating you to get that list done. Santa's coming before we know it. Jason Gotchen for Dan O'Donnell. News Talk 1130 WISN, 1310, WIBA, and Madison. Matt writes the show. He lives about an hour north of Milwaukee, town of 2,500 people. He personally has known six people that have died from opiates. Yeah, it's sad. It really is. And I used to be a person who would say I never used recreational drugs. I know people make decisions in life at times that are not good decisions. I've never been my thing. I've never been into. I've never been around it. At an early age, I decide not to do that. I'm not judging you if you made a decision that was a bad one. But we hope people don't ever go try illegal drugs. It's just not a good life decision. But a lot of these people with the opiate deaths, it's not about illegal drugs. It's about pain. These are not people who were rich kids driving in the city, trying to get high and doing really dumb things. This is somebody who worked in the factory for 20 years, hurt his back. He can't take workman's comp because he's got a wife and three kids at home. And he went to the doctor and said, hey, can you do anything for my back? I need it to work. I got to work. I work in a factory. I'm a laborer. You know, I got to feed my family. Oh, yeah, we got this magical, this opiate that just came out in the early 2000. You're going to make it feel better. Oh, I'm taking it, man. It's great. It's great. But I need more. I need more. I mean, it's addictive. So these people, all they were trying to do was, I mean, if you, look, if you lived a little bit, you've been in some physical pain. And it's hard to get through. I've had kidney stones. Awful. It's terrible. But, you know, I went, I had to go in the hospital one time. They gave me, you know, high-powered pain-killing drugs. And it was the worst pain I'd ever had in my life. But it was prescribed by a doctor. Thankfully, they got rid of the stone. It was over.
But these people have chronic pain. They're trying to just survive. And then they get addicted. The drug manufacturers don't disclose what these things are really all about. And the next thing, you know, these people are looking for, they have to get addicted to the stuff. So there's two sides to this. But as far as, you know, people who seek out, you know, opiates and things like that, you know, people. Getting high, I don't have sympathy for people trying to survive day to day, trying to use them as painkillers. I have sympathy that they didn't know what they were getting into and get addicted. But, yeah, I mean, now they're putting this stuff into, you know, recreational drugs. It's horrible. And the Democrats are saying, let it all, you know, you're striking a boat in the Caribbean. Oh, my gosh, you're a war criminal. No, the people got back on the boat and they were trying to salvage the drugs. You guys don't care about the American people on the left. And we have. Another person writing from the 262, 100,000 drug overdose deaths in a year is 145 times more people than in a town I live in. So another person from a smaller town saying, my wife and I moved there from Milwaukee in 1992. It was a good place to raise our kids. And so you see people, some of this stuff, it's in small town America too. I mean, it really is sometimes even more than the cities and the suburbs. Another texter, 9-20. The 14th Amendment was done to correct the court's Dred Scott decision, which stated slaves weren't people, but property. That's true. That was absolutely true. And the caller also, or the textor also says the subjected to the jurisdiction there met here already and not a person subject to a foreign government they lived in previously. All true. It's just the way the amendment was written. They didn't put the details in there like that. So that's going to be a hard one for the courts are overturned, the birthright citizenship. But if you can't get that overturned, you've got to send back the people who are here, including parents of the kids. I mean, seriously, you're an illegal alien. You can take the kids home. You don't have to keep the kids. Oh, we can't separate the families? Well, we can send everybody home, can't we? At least the two parents, two of the three, go back to their country. They take the kids with them. Pretty simple solution in my world. All right. Now, I got to get to this story because it's been sitting in my stack for two days. It's been in the audio cart. Does anybody remember the Biden Easter Bunny? This was, I believe, 2022. Joe Biden was doing, they didn't do it. I want to say because of COVID, they didn't do the traditional Easter egg roll before Easter on the White House lawn. I think they had people pushed back and they maybe they might have separate. You know, Biden. I mean, if you don't get 10,000 boosters, they're not going to have near the White House. But anyway. Biden was just roaming around endlessly. He didn't know idea. People are going up to him. He's looking like the guy they just let out of the old people's home, sadly, where people forget their memory and things like that. I mean, he's lost. And the person in the Easter Bunny suit is guiding him along and making sure people don't get too close and don't ask him questions, don't embarrass him. Well, that person is a former advisor by the name of Megan Hayes. And Megan Hayes, who was, I think, leading Joe Biden around and knowing exactly what Joe Biden was about back then, that he didn't have much left upstairs. She actually had the nerve to say this about President Trump. This is a real concern that he falls asleep during press conferences and who is, you know, who is making these decisions that seemed the last person in his ear makes the final decisions or testing that they're doing in focus groups of what.
you know, targets the most hate is what he seems to say out loud, regardless if it has anything to do with the actual policy at hand. So, you know, I think that the American people are starting to see more of this, and I think that this will come to fruition in the midterms because Trump's not on the ticket anymore. And Republicans who are not standing up to him and not pushing back on all of these disgusting attacks and disastrous actions, they're going to lose their reelection and they will lose control of Congress. Yeah, she's wrong on that. There might be some seats where the Republicans don't do well in purple seats. That could happen. That's a midterm when the president's party's in power. So I'm not going to say that it's going to be a red wave by any stretch of the imagination. But for her to come out on some podcast and talk about President Trump falling asleep, your guy was asleep for four years. They had the auto pen. He wasn't even signing stuff. One of the great mysteries of American history is in most recent American history. Who was running the country for four years? Joe Biden wasn't running the country. Was it Jill Biden? Was it a group of advisors? Was it with people we have no idea who they were? Because he had no idea what was going on. And he showed it in that debate in June of 2024. I mean, Even the left-wing media had to say you're going to replace this guy and eventually. This guy had, his marbles were gone before he even got elected. Well, elected or selected, however you want to interpret the 2020 election. But come on, this woman, are you serious? The nerve to say this, you were the Easter money holding around Joe Biden like he was the guy at the old people's home. Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. It's amazing how they try and twist. what is on their side onto President Trump. President Trump's the tough guy? They try and emulate President Trump. They all try and go up there and say cuss words and they're going to get in his face. Gavin Newsom's tough. J.B. Pritzker's tough guys. These guys aren't tough guys. They're wimps. And it shows when they try and be tough guys. Also, the narrative on Biden was he wasn't there. Trump falls asleep. The guy's up like 21 hours a day. Scott Bessent, we had the audio yesterday, how he's calling Scott Bessent at 1.30 in the morning. People aren't airplane trips with the guy when he's going over to Asia for that trip he had just in the last month or two. They're like, the guy's up all the time. The guy doesn't sleep. I need at least six hours of sleep a night. I don't know how Trump does it. The guy's almost 80 years old. It's amazing. The genetics there must be incredible that Trump has the stamina that he does. Since there for an hour answers questions and he flies here, flies there, goes everywhere. They goes back and answers more question. And this woman saying that Trump's falling asleep and he's disengaged with the cabinet. Give me a break. What a liar. All right. Now, from her to an average voter. and an average American citizen. Or maybe not. Maybe an indoctrinated would be the better word. So this is Fox, L.A. This is a, I'm, he's got to be a liberal woman, right, when you hear what she has to say.
This is what her thoughts are on SNAP benefits in America in the era of the President Trump presidency the second time around. I don't think it's fair that he do that. And you were saying you think it's going to hurt a lot of people? Oh, yeah, definitely. Definitely is going to hurt a lot of people because you never know, you know what, especially now that we are in the holidays and everybody wants to have a good dinner and everything. If you don't give it to them, it's going to be really hard. So working 20 hours a week when they put that in for your SNAP benefits is going to be really, really hard. Nothing is free. It is amazing to me. You hear all these nightmare stories. They're asking eight-year-olds. There's a story I heard last night. They did some eight or nine-year-olds. They're asking them for their pronouns. 12-year-olds and what are 18,000 different genders in Oregon in some school. They'll push that nonsense on kids from now until they don't hold power anymore. They will do everything in the schools other than teach. And I know there's good teachers. There's good administrators out there. And look, we know you're out there. But you guys are swamped by the far left wing and how they've hijacked education over the last two generations. So instead of teaching people about economics, nothing. is free. There's nothing in this world that's free. Nothing. Nothing's free. Any object, any, look, this microphone I'm talking to, somebody had to buy this microphone. Somebody had an invest in the company to buy the microphone so they'd have money to buy the microphone. People advertise on the station. It works. The pen I'm holding. It's not free. Somebody had to make this pen, somebody to buy this pen. Nothing is free. So when you get free food from the government or you think you are what you're saying, it's not free. The taxpayers are paying for that. And the idea that, hey, you know what, if you're going to, there are people who are down on their luck. There are. It happens. Short-term benefit month or two, a few months. You know, between jobs, you got injured somehow. Okay. But when you're healthy, if you get back on your feet, if you can't find a job right away, you don't have to do something 20 hours a week to get your benefits. You're going to have to volunteer, work. Oh, that's horrible. They're going to take those benefits away. And by the way, the SNAP benefits haven't even been taken away. They're not taking away the SNAP. There was a pause because of the Democrat-led government shutdown. The Democrats shut down the government. The Republicans put CRs, clean CRs with the Democrats that they always want. And the progressive left and Chuck Schumer, who is so afraid of the progressive left, he's going to be gone anyway out of politics because I think he's going to retire rather than lose to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in a 2028 New York Senate election. That's how crazy the Dems go. They're in New York. They're going to put Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez probably in as a senator. But they were the ones who shut down the government. They wouldn't pass the clean resolutions to keep the government going for agreed upon programs like Snap in the past that they've already signed off on. That's nothing to do with the Republicans. But unfortunately, and look, I don't know this person's name. This was an interview on Fox, LA Local. This is somebody who probably watches a lot of mainstream news.
Mainstream media, maybe read some mainstream stuff, talks to people who consume mainstream media, and they just get these lies. Absolute lies. And then they get the idea that 20 hours a week is a lot to work to get government benefits. Those benefits are pretty good. I mean, Medicaid covers a lot of the health costs for people. I know not every doctor takes it, but still, I mean, you get several hundred dollars a month some people to get food. I mean, that's a lot of people have to get, most people that go to work to do that. They're dipping their savings if they're out of work to do that. But not in these people's words. Oh, just print money. Just keep printing money. Oh, then inflation is terrible. What happens when you print money? You get inflation. It's absolutely insane. Insane the way these people think. This is Jason Gotts in for you, in for Dan O'Donnell. Final few segments for me coming up. Big football game. Packers and the Bears should be a fun weekend here in the state of Wisconsin. Actually, both teams very good this year. Christmas season going on. Got a lot of text rolling in. Advent knows.com talking tax line 414-9-9-1130. We'll get to those. Also, the most unfortunate name in politics in the world. I'll tell you who this man is. And Jasmine Crockett in the news. Not for a good reason, but not a surprising reason either. We'll talk about that right after this.
Andrew from Janesville writes the show regarding my car nightmare that I'm dealing with. I have two flat tires on the car. The spare is on. The second tire went flat. I told the story in our number two, and I kind of mismanaged that situation. I should have put tires on the car earlier. But I asked people to chime in on the phones and on the text line with their nightmare car stories that they have gone through because we all have them, don't we? I shared a couple of mine. There's more, not as bad as the ones I shared. Always. Got you the worst ones out there, but we've all had the nightmare car stories. And Andrew writes the show from Jamesville. He writes, he writes, rather, I cut my heater core hand replacement, and it leaked. Had to disconnect hoses and drive Madison to Green Bay with a towel to wipe off the frost because freezing rain. And I wanted to see my wife's graduation and took it to the... uh, sealer, and they did it twice because of the first one leaking. They didn't tell me till I got the bill. 5,000 bucks. He said it was a Chrysler 22012 with a stupid design that is still being used in the jeeps now. It is, not to pick on any of the car companies, but I think they all have those things where you're like, you talk to the mechanics and they're like, okay, um, I don't know why they design that, but. They did it that way, and it was a bad design. So we thank Andrew for writing the show. I've got Ken from North Prairie writing. I've had my cell number since the mid-80s, so I'm in the 414 area code for sell reasons, but I repaired heavy equipment for 39 years, race carts with my sons, were car people. Tires are important, so many people don't understand that. It's kind of funny, as I just had new tires put on my car today, I was that guy who could get that neighbor out of trouble with most anything. They found impossible and best of luck to me with my situation. I shared a friend of the family. neighbor of my dad's. He can, I know, help us out with this thing because the lug nuts are frozen on the bolts. So that's going to be a problem. But he's got the big powered wrenches that are going to be able to get it done over the weekend. So get some more of your texts here before the end of the program. Always appreciate the listeners chiming into my fill-in shows here on News Talk. 1130 WISN and also on 1310 WIBA in Madison. The most unfortunate name in politics. I'm not joking on this one. I saw this story. You know, you do show prep. I love doing show prep. I really do because I do in-depth show prep and I find things that I would never find. This is from a new source called IOL. A Nambian politician says his name has caused confusion and unwanted associations, so he's changing his name. He's 59 years old. That's important here. He's 59 years old. He's from Nambia. It's a country in Africa. His name is Adolf Hitler Unona. I mean, isn't this something you would change your name maybe before you're 59? So he has retained his seat as a regional counselor in this country. He has formally distanced himself from the dictator whose name has followed him for decades. He's now removed the term, the name Hitler from his official documents. He wants to be known as Adolf Unona. He says the name has caused confusion in unwanted associations. Some people assumed he shared Hitler's politics.
He said he's involved in local politics. He does not agree with Hitler's ideology. And apparently the country of Nambia was ruled by Germany. I'm not familiar with Nambian history. The country was ruled as German Southwest Africa. in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It doesn't describe, though, why his parents gave him that name. I don't know why you wouldn't have changed it earlier, but he got elected a lot. Apparently, people in Nambia did disassociate this guy with that name. But, I mean, really, isn't that the worst political name ever? I mean, and he kept the eight off, too. Wouldn't you change that? Wouldn't you just go with something you know-na? You know, brings me guys. So earlier this year in the summer, I was, I went camping in Ohio. And I was traveling through a town called Circleville. It's about 30 miles south of Columbus. And my wife, actually, I was, no, I think I was driving. My wife was, I was driving. And I see one of those, the brown signs that direct you. It's not, you know, like things to see, things to do. Brown sign as I'm driving through this town, it said some first name Hitler Park. And I'm like, what? What the heck is that? So I look it up, apparently in this Circleville, Ohio town, there was a prominent family, the Hitler's. And they refused to actually change our last name because they're upstanding members of the community. They've been good. They're like, we're not letting this monster ruin our family name. Like, we're going to stick with our family name. I guess that's a noble thing to do because that is your family name. Like, you are good people. And the town apparently said, like, they're doctors and dentists and parks named after. Someone would have a hard time naming a park with that last name. I mean, I don't care if the person was made the first and middle name. First and middle name. And if I'm a politician, I probably would have changed that before I was 59 years old. But I mean, I can't believe somebody would actually have that name and be in politics. And who would be named that anyway? Now, real quick before we take our final break, Jasmine Crockett, the story from the UK Daily Mail, she refuses to pay $3,000 in condo bills while lavishing vast sums on luxury hotels. Jasmine Crockett, Texas Congresswoman, always has something to say. Usually it doesn't make much sense. But she owes over $3,000 to a condominium association over a year because she has not paid that bill to the condominium association. She makes $174,000 a year. So Jasmine Crockett can't afford to pay the Condo Association, but she's out. There's pictures of her out with her iPads and all her. She likes to spend money, but not paying her bills, apparently. Not, you know, a little bit of a hypocrite. there, Jasmine Crockett, I would say. It's Jason Gotts in for Dan O'Donnell, back to wrap it up right after this. Comments from our callers, our listeners that chimed in on the text line. I got a few more before we get out of here. Dave Michaels, always great working with him, helping me on the program today. Dan will be back next week. I've got a 26-tour, write me about how she went to Marquette, Michigan.
For her daughter's graduation. And unfortunately, the mom, it's, I don't know if it's a his or her. I should say the textor's mom had called and warned about the lack of gas stations in the area. And of course, our texter blew that off. My dad warned me about the tires, and I blew that off too. I know what you're doing there. I understand. So as the texter was driving back, running low on gas, actually went up to a house because there's no gas stations, offered 20 bucks for some fuel. The gas tank's nozzle didn't fit into the gas tank. So. They used a soda bottle to go ahead and fill up the tank a little bit. And then our texter went on and got some gas. At least that's kind of a happy ending there. You went to a house, got some gas. You didn't run out of gas. So that one learned a lesson, but at least didn't learn it where you were stranded on the side of the road. I've got another 262 are saying, Don't tell me you're a Bears fan. We love it. When the Packers dominate, you've been dominated for the past 30 years. We had three quarterbacks. That's true. Look, I grew up in Chicago, so I am a Bears fan. But... I find it amazing about the Packers with the quarterbacks. I was in high school when Brett Farv took over. Three quarterbacks. The Bears have been like 35 quarterbacks. The Packers have been three. Packer fans, you should feel so blessed that you've gotten the most important position on the field right for 30 plus years. That's an amazing accomplishment. Try being the Bears or the Cleveland Browns with the quarterbacks. I mean, it's... It's quite the irony. Let's just put it that way when you compare the Packers versus the Bears of the Browns quarterbacks. Also, of AJ chimed in from Hale's corners, he says the lug nuts on my car, meaning my car, are not frozen. He says they're overtightened and have my friend who's going to help me out, loosen those lug nuts, retighten them, and torque them to the proper level. And that's probably, you know, I read that though. that salt and water can have gotten in there, and it could have frozen up because there was snow, so we'll have to check on that. I've got 414 talking about that politician with the first and middle name of Adolf Hitler down in Nambia. He's talked about changing his name for years. He still hasn't. Yeah, that's my question. This is exactly what I'm saying. Yeah, how do you wait until you're 59 to change? that's your name like the guy's 59 years old isn't that when you're running for office when you're like 22 like hey my parents that's an important thing to the the name you give your kids
That's the name for life. Don't stick them with a name like Adolf Hitler. That's the most common name to stay away from in world history. Don't name your kids that. This guy in Nambia got his name from his parents. I guess they'd, his parents, I don't know. Maybe they didn't like him or something. I have no idea, poor guy. That's they'll do it for me, Jason Gotch, for Dan O'Donnell. Have a wonderful weekend, everybody. Enjoy the weekend. What's up, fools? Main of it, Jay Uso here from the WWE.
