Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good Tuesday afternoon, you exceptional Americans. How do you do? Yes?
It is Tuesday, third day of March twenty twenty six,
in the Year of Our Lord. I am your radio
talk show host filling Daddy Matt Kittle, filling in this afternoon,

(00:23):
and we're now with thirty percent more MSG. That's right,
you asked for it, We've got it more MSG. Our
tremendous producer of course today, Eric Paulson, he's taken care
of this show. He's making sure that this radio talk

(00:44):
show host keeps this thing on on the road because
you know, and I'm filling in, it is subject to
crash from time to time. So Eric, thank you for
doing the Lord's work today. We have a busy show,
to say the very least. It's busy, busy world more
so than the world we woke up to Friday morning.

(01:07):
On Saturday morning, things they took a little turn, they
took a little change. We're going to talk more about
that coming up a little bit later this hour. Now
what Jacob Oladort is a Chief research officer and Director
of American Security at the America First Policy Institute. He
will join us for a little perspective on the war

(01:29):
in Iran and where things stand right now. We're going
to get a little bit more of an update on
that in just a moment and later this hour. One
thing should be clear with all that is going on
in Iran and against some of our greatest enemies out there,

(01:53):
the well first and foremost the evil regime that is
or was, depending on where things stand after some bombing today.
But there's a lot of hesbula, there's a lot of hooties,
a lot of hamas, a lot of terrorists who have
sworn a vow to wipe out the Great Satan as

(02:17):
they like to call the United States of America and
the Little Satan they like to call Israel. Of course,
they are insane and they are bent on destruction, and
some of them are in this country. In fact, we
don't know exactly how many are in this country. We
just know that there are many of them in this country.

(02:41):
And it's all thanks to Joe Biden and borders are
Kamala Harris and the rest of the open border Democrat gang.
What do we do now, Well, one thing is clear.
This is a really bad time to defund the Department
of Homeland Security. Iram Melman of the Federation for American

(03:05):
Immigration Reform will be joining us coming up right before
we get to the four o'clock news this hour, and
we'll keep you up to date on everything that's going on. Obviously,
you can always reach us, and you know how to
do that. Some of the polling coming out of the
strikes in Iran so far according to a couple of Poles,

(03:29):
and also keep this in mind. The caveat should be
right up front that Poles have not been real good
in the Trump era. So keep that in mind because
they generally come from people who hate Donald Trump, some
of them suffering from severe Trump derangement syndrome. All of
that said, there is your first pulse of how the

(03:53):
American voter feels about this. Foray into Iran. Looks like
there is less support, certainly than President Trump and the
Trump administration wanted for this. The findings, according to Fox,
of two national polls conducted in the hours after President

(04:13):
Donald Trump launched strikes on Iran, are clear. Only a
minority of Americans approve of the operation, and Democrats and
Republicans surprise surprise, don't see I to I over the attacks.
Twenty seven percent of those questions in a Reuters IPSOS

(04:34):
National Survey conducted Saturday and Sunday. So this was right
after the first strikes, right after we found out that
the bombing was going on in Iran. So after the
start of Operation Epic Fury began American and Israeli forces

(04:54):
on Iran that resulted in the killing of Iran Supreme Leader,
the rock and r Ayatola, or as the New York
Times likes to refer to him, the avuncular Ayatola. When
I think of Iotola Ali Kamani, I think of immediately

(05:19):
a generous, old, white bearded uncle, always ready to solve problems,
always ready to lend a kind ear and a nice thought.
Good God, that's something we need to talk about too.
I'm sure that that has been addressed more than a
few times. But really, again, I say this many many times.

(05:41):
You cannot hate corporate media enough. Okay, you cannot despise
the accomplice prav depress more than that. The New York
Times obituary on the Iatola, the guy who was the
face of the Wipeout Israel, Wipeout America movement in Iran

(06:04):
for the past few decades, is evuncular uncle, like any
who a plurality. Forty three percent according to the Reuter's poll,
said they disapproved of the attacks, with nearly three and
ten not sure. And I think they're not sure because
we haven't really been told exactly what the plan is.

(06:33):
I should let me back that up. We have been
told different ideas of what the plan is in Iran.
And I'm not saying that the Ayatola, the avuncular one,
didn't deserve his come up ins And the regime is nasty,
and we found that out in particular in recent weeks

(06:56):
and months as the regime mowed down tens of thousands
of their own people for protesting the regime. And there's
no doubt that there have long been concerns not just
in the United States but around the world about the
capability the possibility of Iran getting nuclear weaponry, able to

(07:21):
produce nuclear weaponry with the nuclear agents that they already had,
thanks to huge, massive palettes of cash complements of Barack Obama,
thanks to the idiocy of the Biden administration and the

(07:43):
Obama administration for thinking, yeah, we can work with these guys.
That makes perfect sense. We can work with these guys.
Have they killed untold numbers of Americans and Westerners. Yeah, absolutely,
but we can work with these guys. So that is
an understandable pursuit. But we were told last summer that

(08:08):
the United States military was able to really disrupt, if
not knock out, nuclear launching capability of Iran. Obviously that
only went so far. So when we're hearing as well
that bb Net and Yahoo in Israel said that we're

(08:30):
going to go, man, whether you like it or not,
this is our window and we're going to take it.
We have heard that the President said, Okay, if you're
going to do that, I want to make sure we
have some control over this mission, this operation, and so
we're we're gonna do it, but we're going to do
it our way. We've been told a lot, so no

(08:52):
wonder there are so many people who don't fully have
an opinion either way, because there's a lot of missing information.
We're getting more and more information, but there's a lot
of missing information at this time, and so we will
talk more about that coming up in just a bit.
But before we do that, I think the musical theme today,

(09:15):
of course, it must be this, keeping it real, keeping
it right. Kittle here on a groovy Tuesday afternoon, glad
you're along with us. Can't be a little flock of seagulls.
Very very on theme today the song I Ran So

(09:39):
Far Away, and it does. It feels like a long
way away, but it is hitting home of course. And
as I said before, perhaps the big theme for today
is from the Gap band. Oh boy, did they ever

(10:00):
thank you? Sir? Yeah, big big bombs hitting what apparently
remains of the Evil Regime brain trust. According to Fox News,
the President Donald Trump said US military strikes on Iran

(10:21):
in the last several hours have limited eliminated much of
the regime's anticipated leadership succession bench. They were all assembled together,
by the way, but raises new questions about who will
emerge to lead the Islamic Republic after the death of
Supreme Leader Ayatola Ali Hamini. Most of the people we

(10:46):
had in mind are dead, Trump told reporters Tuesday. So
you know, we had some in mind from that group
that is, they're dead, and now we have another group
they may be dead also based on reports. So I
guess you have a third wave coming in pretty soon.

(11:08):
We're not going to know anybody. You got to love
how the Trumpster puts things. The short answer here they're dead.
We're told, at least by military sources, that some eighty
to ninety eighty eight member clerical body was assembled to

(11:31):
take their vote on who the next Ayatola was going
to be. And that might have been a misguided although
you can understand the sense of wanting continuity. But glad
thankfully they were all in the same place together. That

(11:52):
made some things so much easier. So more details coming
in about what is happening in Iran, and we asked
the question, of course, what is next. Iran's avuncular Ayatola,
as the New York Times called the leading terrorist, is
checked into Hotel Hell. You can check out any time

(12:14):
you like, but you can never leave. So now what
As President Trump has said, the war in Iran will
continue until US objectives are met. What precisely are those objectives?
Jacob Oladort, chief research Officer and Director of American Security
at the America First Policy Institute, joins us now for

(12:35):
some perspective. Good afternoon, sir, Thank you for joining us
on news radio eleven thirty WISN.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
It's great to be with you, Matt, and thank you
so much for having me.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah, I appreciate it. Some things you and I had
a conversation earlier today. As a matter of fact, you
can hear that full conversation through the podcast means iHeart
radio and through your app podcast is there. It's the
Federalist Radio Hour, and Jacob and I talk about what
was happening up to that time. But in war things

(13:10):
change relatively quickly. So I guess the first question for
you is, with this reported bombing taking out the brain
trust of the regime in Iran, what happens now because
we already know the the Ayah Toola is dead.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Yeah, talk about talk about being at the wrong place
at the wrong time. Although voting, you know, is a
good thing, but no, this is this is a profound
and unprecedented vacuum in in Iran's leadership. To say it mildly,
I mean this is, but it also creates an element

(13:49):
of unpredictability if they are looking to respond in any way.
This is Look, this is all pointing to the success
of the mission, the unparalleled been match of our air
force and that of our partner as well. What happens
next took Our objective is the same, it's eliminating the
threats and so that means there are others that are

(14:10):
trying to still threaten and respond that perhaps escalating new ways,
and I think vigilance and focus on that mission. And
as the President said alluded to repeatedly over the last
few days, that you know, we haven't seen yet the
biggest punch should that be necessary, and so we're still
added on our missions.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
It was a really big punch today, no doubt about that.
The bombing as you had the Republic of Iran, which
is always an interesting term to me, but assembling together
to name vote on if that's what they do, what
the process is like. But they wanted I think they
wanted to send a message to the United States into

(14:55):
the world. Hey we may have lost our leader, but
there are many placements here and now there aren't. So
I guess the question ultimately is who do you think
fills the vacuum?

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Now, well, that is a that is a good question,
and it's again you know, it's hard to predict too
far into the future, knowing that this is an organization
that was wholly based around a single person I the
Ioto literally the translation is the signs of God, I
mean Iotola, so that it kind of changes the mandate.

(15:31):
Now that being said, there are worlds in which you know,
you have other elements. Militant elements take matters into their
own hands, and to your point, you know, they their
message that they can you know, there are many of
them and others that can replace the threats to endoors
and for our purposes in the United States, and the

(15:52):
objective has always been targeting. You know, the understanding was that,
you know, it would be a matter of time before
the regime poss we does collapse, but that is not
fundamentally our objective here, and the Vice President said that
very clearly yesterday that the regime state is incidentals are objective,
So we do need to you know, understand that could

(16:15):
take place, proceed with the immediate reason why we're there
is to take out those missiles, launchers and indeed those
trying to harm Americans.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Jacob Ollador, chief Research Officer, Director of American Security at
the America First Policy Institute, joining us now about what
next in Iran, and I guess what is next in
terms of the mission. As you noted, the President has
talked a lot about what he wants to do now.

(16:50):
He's mentioned regime change at a time he certainly has
talked for a long time about making sure that this
leading sponsor of terrorism does not have in its possession
nuclear weaponry. That's clear, But we're also hearing some things,
and I think much was read into what Secretary of

(17:12):
State Marco Rubio said the other day, essentially that Israel
was ready to make a move, they saw a window
of opportunity, and the United States wanted to make sure
that they had some control over this. Obviously, what do
you think about that?

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well, I think we should allow other countries to take
actions to pretend to preserve and protect their citizens. Israel
has been doing that. Of course, you saw Biden micromanage
Israel's decisions during the days of war that those steps
that other countries, including Israel take are for it to

(17:56):
determine that does not dictate our priorities. And the fact
that this is an actor that poses the single continuous
threat to the American people in half a century. So
I think the two are I do not see that
kind of causality. I mean, these are two ultimately parallel

(18:16):
but related efforts in that they happen to be targeting
the same source, and certainly in the air. You know,
it's remarkable the ways in which our air forces are
corporate cooperating and coordinating in a precise, targeted way to
take out to preemptively take up those threats. And I
would also say that other countries see your own of

(18:38):
the threat as well. And so the fact is that
Israel may be the only one best positioned to address
the threat not just on their own behalf, but on
the behalf of her allies and partners around the world.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
So yeah, now the coalition building, obviously is is critical
as we move forward, and none more important than to
get Iran's neighbors on board. Neighbors, by the way, that
are being struck by Iran right now. So they certainly
have some incentive. They had some incentive before the polling

(19:13):
on this early, at least according to a couple of Poles,
And at this point take the polls with so much
of a grain of salt, take them that way anyway,
because they've been terribly bad during the Trump era. All
of that said, it looks like a minority of Americans
support this mission in Iran right now. Part of the

(19:34):
reason I think that is is because you have supporters
of the President and his America First agenda that are saying, wait,
a minute, this isn't America. First, How is this in
the interest of America? Ultimately we know that it's in
the interest of perhaps the region, it's in the interest
of the Iranian people. But we were told that there

(19:57):
would be no more forever wars, and there is deep
concern that this could be another one of those forever wars.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well, with polling, you know, the question always becomes wording,
how the question is asked, and also the context information
about the specific event. And in this case, the fact
is obviously the administration has been very discreet up until
this Saturday about the objectives and build all objectives diplomatically

(20:27):
and militarily with it on, unlike last summer where the
objective was narrowly eliminating the nuclear threat here and I
really read into that the fact that it's a very
expensive set of threats that are imposed globally and directly
to the American people. So I think time, obviously the
polling will be an indicator. I do think that there

(20:49):
is when you go down several layers. Obviously, nobody wants
wider war and American entanglement and forever war. But I
think here, you know, the President has been very precise
and I think the people also the post war period
are very keen on having America be a winner and
an act in a strong way to protect the American people.

(21:10):
And that's what they know of this president. And just
to put a sharper point on it, and we may
see this come out of the Poland as well. You know,
this regime has been a beneficiary of failed diplomacy by
Republican and democratic presidencies for generations, particularly Obama than others.

(21:31):
But who believe that you can just talk to somebody
who says they want to kill you. And we saw
in the first time of administration that, you know, solmoney,
when an American died in Iraq, the President ordered to
strike on Solomoney. So we're dealing with a very particular
actor and a very unique issue set. And so I

(21:51):
think going back to sentiment and again we'll learn more
as we see first of all the foods of the operation,
which will tell a lot. But I as we understand
more of this threat, I think we could see and
the continuity with our policies, I think we can see
still of that change.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Well, let's see what palettes of cash will buy you.
You mentioned Obama and that was his diplomatic response to
the increasing threats from Iran. Steve Whitkoff said this in
the Trump administration, as he was very active in the

(22:33):
final days of these negotiations before the launch of this
joint operation. He said, both the Iranian negotiators said to
us directly with you know, no shame that they controlled
four hundred and sixty kilograms of sixty percent and they
were aware that could make eleven nuclear bombs and that

(22:57):
was the beginning of their negotiating stance. Was that a
miscalculation on the part of the regime, because it seems
to me that that was where unlike Obama, it wasn't Okay,
you're going to get billions of dollars, now you're going
to get hell unleashed on you.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah. I think they certainly misread the president, and which
is incredible too, since they've been targeting him in particular
in the American people. So I think this should have
all been expected. They've misread entirely the whole situation. And look,
the President is very precise and particular on what the
objective is. He is clear eyed on the threat that

(23:40):
are on poses directly but also to our interests around
the world, and you're talking about a group that gave
just to bring it home, that gave that Venezuela gave
Jesus and passports too over the course of the decade
to then illegally enter our country. These are propping up

(24:02):
the Russian aggression in Ukraine, providing missiles and drone there,
and not to mention targeting American soldiers over the years,
and of course thousands of lives, American lives on their hands.
So to think that they would just be pay caated
and just sort of yeah, sure, everything's fined. That's certainly

(24:23):
not how the president operates.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, and a time will tell just where all of
this goes from here. I really appreciate your perspective because
coming up next that's exactly what we're going to talk about.
What you just mentioned before is what the Biden years
of open borders did to national security. And I'm afraid
we could find out some very painful lessons on that front.

(24:50):
But Jacob Olidort, chief research Officer and Director of American
Security at the America First Policy Institute, thank you so
much for joining us.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Thank you for having me.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Thank you Bet. Coming up, as I said, we will
talk more about the security risks at home from the
terrorist at least ninety nine on the terrorist watch list
allowed entry into the United States where they are. We
have no idea should we be concerned. Absolutely, We'll talk

(25:25):
to Ira Melman of the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
Coming up straight ahead as we roll on on this
Tuesday with yours truly, Matt Kittle on News Radio eleven thirty.
Wim listen. I know it's only rock and roll, but
I like it. I like it a lot.

Speaker 3 (25:44):
Kittle.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Hear your old radio amigo on the Dan O'Donnell show
this Tuesday afternoon, pumping it out to Milwaukee and Madison
and the rest of God's Country. So glad to have
you along with us. The trouble at home is well,
at least it should be front and center, and it

(26:05):
is a major concern given the fact that Democrats want
to continue to play games certainly bad politics with homeland security.
US Customs and Border Protection officials have warned for a
while that the Biden administration's open border policies have exposed

(26:26):
the nation to thousands of known and suspected terrorist among
the millions of illegal immigrants that poured in the United
States between twenty twenty one and early twenty five. What
does that mean for Homeland Security? Well, one thing should
be crystal clear, this is a really bad time to

(26:47):
defund the Department of Homeland Security. Ira Melman of the
Federation for American Immigration Reform otherwise known as Fair joins us. Now, Ira,
thank you so much for being on the show.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Good Beyond, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
In fact, the Federalist has a peace up right now.
You can find it at the Federalist dot com. The
headline Biden lets suspected terrorists slip over the border. Now
Dems are starving DHS. In that story written by an
exceptional young reporter, I like this guy. I like the
cut of his jib. Ira and his organization are noted

(27:28):
in there. And Ira, you folks are asking some very
very important question. I hope people important questions. I hope
people are listening. What do you see out of all
of this?

Speaker 3 (27:40):
We see a danger out there? Certainly. The Department of
Home itd Security was created after nine to eleven. It
was created obviously because we were caught unawares and we
lost three thousand people on that day, and the intent
of DHS was to prevent this from happening again. And
here we are, and just look at what is going

(28:00):
on in the world right now. We've got a war
going on in the Middle East against Iran, a country
that funds terrorists around the world. That is, you know,
their chance has been death to America for the past
forty seven years. At the same time, we have an
active drug war going on in Mexico. We've got elements

(28:24):
of those gangs here in the United States, and the
agency that is charged with keeping the homeland safe, protecting
the American people within the United States of America is
not being funded right now because the Democrats are insisting
that we tie the hands of ICE agents in order
to give for them to clear the funding for DHS. So,

(28:46):
you know, we're playing Russian roulette.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
Here.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
We saw over the weekend the first terrorist attack. This
guy in Austin, Texas wearing a property of Allah Hooty
and a T shirt and blaze the Iranian flag. I mean,
that might be a clue there someplace. But you know,
these are the sorts of things we can expect to
deal with over the coming months because the Iranians are desperate.

(29:11):
Now they've got terror cells here in the United States.
There are sleeper cells. Everybody in national intelligence knows they're
sleeper cells, and we just better watch out and DHS
needs to be there.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Let me ask you this, how long will it be
before Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats bend
their knees at the Capitol wearing Property of Allah shirts.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (29:38):
You know, Fortunately it was not DHS that took them down.
I think it was the local police there in Austin, Texas.
But yeah, I mean, we can joke about it, but
this is very, very serious. We had under the Biden administration,
two million people came into the country that we know
across that border illegally, were never apprehended by the border patrol.

(30:00):
And you have to ask yourself, never vet it twenty
one Yeah, never vetted at all. Between twenty twenty one
and twenty twenty five, the Biden administration was letting anybody
who came into the United States illegally go on parole.
You know, unless you had a you know, I'm a
terrorist stamped on your forehead, you were going to be
turned out onto the street with a court date, you know,

(30:20):
five six years down the line. You have to ask yourself,
why did two million people take the trouble and the
extra expense to have these smugglers get them into the
United States and elude the border patrol that ought to
be keeping people up at night. You've got two million
people that we know about who came in under that administration,

(30:41):
who had obvious reasons for not wanting to be encountered
by the border patrol. Who are these people? I mean,
obviously not all of them are terrorists, but it doesn't
take that many people to create an awful lot of havoc.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yep, no doubt about it. And those are very good questions.
The reason I brought up the whole ancy Pelosian democrats
genuflecting in the capital. We've seen this movie before. If
they see this as an advantage to return to power,
I believe the Democrats in the minority in this federal
government will say, to hell with national security. This gives

(31:17):
us an opportunity to seize power again. That's the problem
is that while they're doing this political nonsense, because they're
having temper tantrums, because the federal authorities, the federal immigration
enforcement officers, are actually enforcing federal immigration law. Remember that's

(31:41):
what this is all about. Meantime, here in Milwaukee. We
have a common council that is basically it's just voted
not to cooperate at all with Ice. And this is
the nonsense that we keep dealing with. But look at
the numbers iron you mentioned before, two million without vetting.
We know, according to a report by Fox News last

(32:04):
year that Biden's DHS, Biden's DHS arrested more than fifteen
hundred Iranian nationals between fiscal year twenty twenty one and
twenty four, releasing seven hundred and twenty nine of those
illegal immigrants into the US. We have no idea really

(32:26):
who they are and what their aims are. That should
keep people up at night, knowing where we're at in
the world right now.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
It should and you know, political advantage aside. Nobody wants
to see, you know, some kind of terrorist attack that
takes the lives of many, many Americans. We've already lost
three people now in Austin, Texas, just you know, in
the first twenty four or forty eight hours after we
began this conflict in Iran, that there is more to come.

(32:57):
The Iranian regime controls a whole network of terrorist organizations
all across the globe. It's not just here in the
United States, it's in Europe, it's Canada, Australia.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
You know, we saw what happened in Australia during the
Honaker celebration. Uh. These kind of these people are all over.
This is precisely why dh DHS was created, to be
able to identify those people, arrest them and get them
out of the country. And you know, while they are
prioritizing the removal of these people, uh, they do have

(33:29):
an obligation to enforce the law more generally. Just like
you know, the police in Milwaukee, they prioritize the arrest
of murderers and rapists and other violent criminals. But if
they happen to catch you shoplifting and you know one
of those folks is and standing across the streets, they're
going to arrescue. That is what police forces do all
the time. They prioritize the baddest of the bad guys.

(33:51):
But it doesn't mean they stop enforcing the laws against
everybody else.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
I think a good place to start with all of
this a is getting the funding into the Department of
Homeland Security now right now that doesn't immediately impact this impasse,
doesn't immediately impact ICE seventy five billion dollars for those
operations were included in the Big Beautiful Bill last year.

(34:16):
But this includes FEMA. What happens if there's a massive
disaster of terrorist origin, FEMA's got to be there, doesn't
have the money to be there. TSA. I mean, my god,
look at what happened in the lead up to nine
to eleven. TSA definitely has to be there. It definitely

(34:39):
has to be funded. But I think maybe if we
started from this vantage point from Republicans to Democrats to
everybody in a position of authority in this government, when
someone tells you that they want to kill you, when
they scream over and over death to America and then
they go about proving it, take them out their damn work.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Yeah, that would be a you know, wise decision for
anybody to make. And you know, let's just sort of
go through what the Democrats are demanding. They are essentially
demanding that we go back to the interior enforcement policies
of the Biden administration. Early on in the Biden administration,
then Secretary Alejandra new york Is put out memos saying that,

(35:26):
you know, there were only certain places where ICE could
go looking for people that we were only going to
go after the worst of the worst.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
And under this administration, as I said, they're prioritizing the
worst of the worst, but they are also going after
other people who are in the country legally, simply because
they're violating the law. What they're the Democrats are demanding
is that before ICE goes out and executes and arrest,
they have to go get a judicial warrant.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
You know, if you are hunting down a terrorist, you know,
who might be posing an imminent danger to the kind
of excuse me, sir, can you wait a minute, I
got to go to court get a judge to sign
off on this. I mean, basically, we're tying the hands
of ICE agents. We are endangering public safety. You know,
we're telling ICE agents or they want to tell ICE agents,

(36:14):
you can't go to certain locations to find the people
that you're looking for. So it really it takes us
back to the Biden administration days, which the American public
soundly rejected in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Yeah, and ma Orcis, by the way, his Department of
Homeland Security didn't even go after the worst of the worst.
They went after none of them. That's why we're having
this conversation today about all of these terrorists ninety nine
that we know of on the terrorist watch lists. As
US Representative Tom Tiffany representing the Great seventh Congressional District said,

(36:54):
Biden's DHS released at least ninety nine people on the
terrorist watch list into the US, and that's just the
ones we know about. When you think about the millions
of god aways on top of that, it is terrifying.
And he notes exactly what we have been saying. And
I hope the Democrats wake up. There's going to be
a vote on this, apparently on Thursday. Now would be

(37:17):
a great time, Tiffany says for Democrats to fully fund DHS,
especially since there could be active terrors cells operating inside
our country. Just have a minute left. How confident are
you that that's going to happen.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Well, the pressure should be on them. The American public
obviously is aware, especially after what happened in Texas over
the weekend, that there really are dangers out there that
the situation and just in the past few weeks between
what is going on in the Middle East and what
is going on in Mexico, there are some dangerous people
walking around this country, and we had better find them

(37:52):
and find them quick because otherwise we could have another
major disaster on our hands before we know it.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
In Ira Melman from FAIR you know them as Fair
Federation for American Immigration Reform, Thank you so much for
joining us. I know you will be closely following this issue.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
Yes so well, Thanks very much.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
You bet And this is what Ira said, by the
way quoted in this Federalist article. And I think this
really does bring it on home. If there ever was
a moment when the Department of Homeland Securities intelligence functions
should be fully operational and prepared to thwart attacks against

(38:36):
soft targets in the United States, this is it. But
we have a funding issue because we have very, very
irresponsible leftist politicians in Washington, d c. That are throwing
temper tantrums about enforcing the nation's immigration laws. That's what

(39:01):
it comes down. That's what this little conniption fit is
all about, and it needs to end. Coming up in
the next hour, we're gonna delve into Arctic Fox and
what has been described as worse than wal wal water Gate.
That's what I'm talking about. Straight ahead, Stay with us,

(39:21):
Welcome back, thrill seekers, Our number two of our little
get together on this Tuesday edition of the Dan o'donald Show. Yeah,
we are now in to March. How about some nice
weather to boot? Where's the crazy Canadian say to Boot?

(39:44):
Can't wait? Yeah, it sounded the same, I guess Yeah,
Mad Kittle, your radio talk show host Phil and Daddy
with you filling in here and now on the Dan
o'donald's Show. We've got much to accomplish coming up a
conversation about, well, something the accomplished media certainly doesn't want

(40:06):
to talk about. The people who cheered on Jack Smith's
Special Council. Jack Smith's corrupt investigations into Donald Trump and
his allies are suddenly silent after a bombshell report detailing
the Biden fbis politically charged spying ops. We'll talk a

(40:27):
little bit more about that. Senator Chuck Grassley, who is
chairman the Republican from Iowa, is chairman of the Senate
Judiciary Committee. He is called Arctic Frost and the witch
hunt that came out of it brought to you by
your tax dollars, your federal tax dollars, worse than Watergate,

(40:48):
and it definitely bears more markings of a corrupt force
that was going on inside the federal government to take
down the Democrats student get rid of the democrats number
one political enemy, Donald Trump. However that was going to happen,

(41:11):
whether that was going to be impeachment, they failed there,
whether it was going to be indictments, and they got
a lot of those, and they failed on that front, prosecutions, lawsuits,
everything they could. They threw the book at Donald Trump,
and the Arctic Frost investigation was one of those things

(41:33):
that was just will be noted as one of the
darker chapters of the deep state in America and what
it is capable of doing in the name of politics
and political weaponization. We'll have a conversation a little bit
later on this hour with John O'Connor, he's former assistant

(41:54):
US attorney and author of Postgate, how the Washington Post
betrayed deep throat, covered up Watergate, and began today's partisan
advocacy journalism. Again, more on that in just a few moments,
but before we get there, some more interesting news on

(42:18):
the war front, and more so on the immigration front
that we've talked about in the last hour. Democrat Representative
Angie Craig running for a Senate seat in Minnesota. Penned
an article this week explaining her regret her regret for

(42:43):
voting for the Lake and Riley Act, sparking criticism from
conservatives online and from her Republican opponents. You remember the
Lake and Riley Act, and I hope you never forget
Lake and Riley. The poor young woman murdered in cold blood,
assaulted and murdered in cold blood on a Georgia campus.

(43:06):
He was a young nursing student. This from Craig, the
Democrat representative running for Senate in Minnesota. I never thought
the Lake and Riley Act was a perfect bill, as
it allowed for detention of certain violent as well as
nonviolent offenses, Craig wrote in the Minnesota Star Tribune this

(43:29):
week about the legislation named after the nursing student who
was murdered during a jog on the University of Georgia's
campus by an a legal immigrant. The text of the
bill did not include the word deportation. That's what Representative
Craig is concerned about, she said, I made the difficult

(43:53):
decision to vote for it. Democrats like Senators Mark Kelly
and Reuben Diego, Rafael Warnock in John ausof now there
is a list of true patriots right there. Leaders I
deeply respect, Craig said, all came to the same conclusion.
But as I stood side by side with prosecutors on

(44:15):
the streets of Minneapolis and opposite dozens of armed immigration
and Customs enforcement agents at the Whipple Federal Building after
Renee Goods killing, and again after killing the killing of
Alex Pretty, I couldn't help but question whether I made
the right call last year. Yes, her Marxist conscience is

(44:37):
getting the best of her. Craig went on to explain
that it has become clear that supporting any bill that
gives Ice new authority in this administration was the wrong decision,
and I regret my vote. What she should have said is,
you know, I don't really give a damn about young

(44:57):
women who all they want to do is go for
a jog in the morning without being assaulted and murdered
by the illegal immigrants that my party let come in
by the millions in an invasion over four years of
a very cynical open door policy under the Biden administration.

(45:22):
Because that's basically what is happening. Lac and Riley is
not the only individual, obviously, murdered a victim of the
crime that you hear from Democrats say all the time, Well,
you know, the general population, they're committing more crimes than

(45:43):
illegal immigrants ever do. That's a load of crap. Again,
there wouldn't be the crime from illegal immigrants if they
weren't here in the first place. Lac and Riley would
very likely be here and a lie today if it
wasn't for this kind of nonsense from people who, because

(46:08):
of politics, have decided it's a good idea to go
hard against law enforcement. The same people who did as
much during twenty twenty in the riots across the country
under the organized Marxist movement of Black Lives Matter. That's

(46:32):
what they do. The fact that she voted for this
act to begin with was a political calculation on her part,
And now she's having misgivings because illegal immigrants are being deported. Well,
miss Craig, I have a little information for you. That's

(46:54):
what the law demands, and when violent illegal immigrants commit
violent crimes against Americans, there needs to be protections so
that that never happens again, or at least we get
as close to that as humanly possible. That's not asking

(47:14):
for much, and you know a lot of a lot
of folks out there agree. Republican Michelle Tafoya, also running
for Senate, posted on x that Craig quote would rather
protect violent illegal immigrants than law abiding Minnesotas. So the

(47:35):
petition of Representative Angie Craig is to release illegal aliens.
To release illegal aliens arrested for theft, burglary, assaulting police
are causing serious bodily injury. That's what Congressman Tom Tiffany
said as a matter of fact on a post Minnesota

(47:59):
madness has hit a whole new level. Just in case
you're scoring along at home, and remember this come November,
Tom Tiffany is running for the governor of this state
in a state run by a guy and an administration
that has absolutely turned its back on law enforcement and sanity.

(48:22):
Craig responded to Tafoya, By the way, Michelle Tefoya endorsed,
supported and enabled ICE's violent occupation of Minnesota that left
two people dead and our communities in mourning, She's a
nothing more than a rubber stamp for Donald Trump, who
would keep tearing our neighborhoods apart, not bring us together. Listen, lady,

(48:47):
think about how many illegal immigrants in that community. We're
going to talk more about that in Milwaukee, and in Madison,
and in Chicago, and so many US cities that have
murdered and raped and sexually assaulted children, trafficked them into

(49:09):
this country. What about them? I know you want to
talk about two radicals who were killed while ignoring law
enforcement instructions and driving a car into one law enforcement official,
another one who had a gun inside a violent radical

(49:33):
demonstration against ICE. I'm not saying that those two people
that their deaths were not important to their families and
the people therein But the Democrats in this country never
ever think about the angel parents in the victims of

(49:55):
these senseless, unnecessary crimes. And for this report, Retive running
for US Senate to now say, I feel terrible, I
feel great regret that I voted for a bill that
would protect people people from horrendous human beings like the

(50:17):
horrendous maggot that assaulted and murdered Lake and Riley. We're
going to change focus and coming up next, I'm going
to get into Arctic Fox and why it is considered
to be worse than Watergate. Stay with us here on
the DAN o'donald Show with yours, Julie matt Kittle getting

(50:42):
or done the Dan o'donalds Show with your radio talk
show host Phil and Daddy Matt Kittle. Glad to have
you along with us on this Tuesday, March third. Got
much to accomplish yet. I think as we were going
to the break, I was talking about our next segment,
and I mentioned the FBI operation, the Biden FBI operation,

(51:05):
and misnamed it Arctic Fox Arctic Frost. I think I
was thinking of this guy. Actually he read Fox, of course,
the legendary Sanford and Son, and he he had nothing
to do with it. We have inner beauty, Yeah, what

(51:26):
a beauty, So you better put your live away. Your
face is Fred Sandford, you fish at food again? And
Esther Lamont Fred, the whole gang. They had, Grady nothing
to do with the Arctic Frost, but plenty of Biden

(51:49):
administration officials did. Merrick Garland's DOJ corrupt do OJ and
how they truly weaponized justice against their political enemies. The
people who cheered on Jack Smith's corrupt investigations into Donald
Trump and his allies suddenly silent after a bombshell report

(52:12):
last week detailing the Biden fbis politically charged spying ops.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley has said, based on the
evidence to date, Arctic frost and related weaponization by federal
law enforcement under Biden was arguably worse than Watergate. Now

(52:32):
we bring into the conversation the guy who wrote the
book on Watergate, John O'Connor, former assistant US attorney and
author of Postgate, How the Washington Post betrayed deep throat,
covered up Watergate, and began today's partisan advocacy journalism. John,
thanks for being back with us here on the Dan

(52:54):
O'donnald Show.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
Well, great to be with you. These are interesting times,
aren't they.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
They certainly are interesting times, and we are finding about
the truly dark times of the Biden administration. We're getting
more and more information on that. Thankfully, if Biden had
been re elected or Kamala Harris elected, I don't think
we would get any of this information. But what we're
finding out now is that we had federal officials spying

(53:26):
on Republicans members of Congress, the Senate, the House, and others.
First of all, are you stunned by this at all?

Speaker 4 (53:36):
Well? I'm not stunned at all, because it's amazing whether
you go to the Obama administration or to the Biden administration,
anything they do, it's just fair game. I mean, the
Obama administration was wiretapping reporters if you recall, Oh sure,
and so what can you say about that? And then

(53:58):
of course bidenized the process. And to put this in context,
Donald Trump was impeached for a talk with a head
of another state, Ukraine, about a legitimate matter affecting the
United States foreign aid, which is was Joe Biden the

(54:20):
point man in Ukraine. Was he corruptly involved in some
of the shenanigans with the most corrupt agencies in Ukraine
which had a bearing on our foreign aid. And so
he was impeached for that. That was an entirely proper
request by one state head to another for yeah, legitumous.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
John he was. He was impeached for asking questions, for
asking legitimate questions that a president has every right in
the world in fact, should be asking.

Speaker 4 (54:54):
Well, he should be asking in of a State Department
policy which no one mentioned that you crane had to
be certified non corrupt or we shouldn't be giving it lethal.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
Eight.

Speaker 4 (55:04):
A new president gets elected whose supporters were corrupt. So
I only give that as background because then later on
what Trump does in the wake of what looks like,
let's call it an anomalous election, without calling it fixed
or dirty or stolen. It's just anomalist. There's no doubt

(55:26):
about it. There were strange things happening, and in order
to tee up his protests, which happened in that Hayes
telled an election as well in eighteen seventy seven, you
put up an alternative slate of electors, which Trump did.
He challenged the results in several states and said, okay,
if the results in that state are changed, here's the

(55:47):
alternate slate of electors. He wasn't telling anybody, and nobody
was fooled that those were the actual electors that had
been certified by what appeared to be the result which
Trump was challenging. He's saying, if those results are wrong,
here's the alternative slate. So nobody's getting fooled, and it's

(56:08):
not for the purposes of fraud. But what happens they
call that of a fake a fraudulent scheme, and then
that in turn allows them to do some things that
are ridiculously dirty, which is now you're invading the separation
of powers because you now have the executive branch examining

(56:29):
all the legislatures legislators in the other party, and to
do so secretly without any disclosure. So you think about
how dirty and they're using the powers. And this is
where Watergate supposedly struck a chord the way it was
puffed up by the Washington Post. Nixon was doing all

(56:50):
these things. He was using the machinery of government for
his own political advantage. Now I've written about that, that's
not really what was happening in water Day, but let's
assume it did. Assume it did. That they were right
that Nixon was misusing the machinery of government for political advantage.
That's a legitimate area of inquiry. I'm not going to
contest that. And you know, not everything Nixon did was

(57:12):
just wonderful, but that is, you know, you misusing the
machinery government. This is happening in spades when you have
a special counsel with all these plenary powers, then using
those special powers to go after the opposition. And that's
what supposedly Trump's this terrible guy. And the stuff that

(57:37):
the Biden administration doing was far worse than anything that
Trump was accused of, even if it was true. It's
really really amazing. And the only way you can get
away with this if you have the major media either
buffaloed or just just stupid.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Yes, I think both are in order. I think you
also have to put in laziness, because the accomplished media
is nothing if not lazy. But this is a complicit media.
And that's really what I wanted to talk to you about.
This stuff does not happen, or it does not stay dark,

(58:19):
unless you have a media that is disinterested in investigating
the other side, the people who are weaponizing justice, actually
weaponizing justice. How does that compare to what we saw
from the Washington Post? And not just the Washington Post.
There were others in Watergate that kind of missed the

(58:39):
train on that.

Speaker 4 (58:40):
One, right, right, And as I wrote the book Postgate,
in the case of the Washington Post, they deliberately with
the covered up things. They deliberately covered up facts that
would point the finger elsewhere, point the finger at the
CIA for this being a CIA operation, and so forth,
the other media, or simply as you say, complicit and lazy.

(59:04):
And so what happens is I think when you have
stupid people, are lazy, intellectually lazy people, and they don't
know where to go when there's a debate. They can't
use their own powers of reasoning to say, oh, yes,
I'm going to look at this, I'm going to look
at that. They simply default to the talking points of

(59:26):
one side. And so I think that's what happens so
often now is you find these people their eyes are
crossed whenever you confront them with opposing facts. They don't
know where to go, and so they just simply default
to talking points. And that's really really a problem in
a society where we have three hundred over three hundred

(59:49):
million people and we've got to have to get our
information from somewhere, and you have these major networks and
major newspapers who just don't want to do the work,
nor do they have the intellect, trual firepower, or the
the disinterestedness. I would say that the impartiality is a
better word to look at both sides of things and

(01:00:11):
really examine things. So we have a real problem in
this country. And here it is it's hard for these
major media to realize how bad Arctic frost was and
how bad Jack Smith was in his job.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
John O'Connor, former assistant US attorney. He's author of Postgate,
how the Washington Post betrayed deep throat, covered up Watergate,
and began today's partisan advocacy journalism. You know, I have
been in the journalism game for longer than I would
like to acknowledge, because I'm growing a bit long in
the tooth. And they say that war and the presidency

(01:00:50):
age as a man, but dealing with the modern media
does as well, very rapidly, I can tell you this.
In the state of Wisconsin, we had one of the
one of the darkest chapters in Wisconsin was something called
the John Doe Investigations. And the news outlets who were
covering this story, a campaign finance crime story that ended

(01:01:14):
up involving Democrat prosecutors and corrupt government agencies launching pre
dawn military style raids on the homes of citizens in Wisconsin,
and nobody from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel or the Wisconsin

(01:01:38):
State Journal, nobody from the Washington Post of the New
York Times all that interested to think for a moment
that maybe somebody on the right, a conservative, could actually
be a victim of weaponized justice. And I think John
that the Democrats in Washington, DC today saw the washing
saw the John Doe investigation Wisconsin as a template, a

(01:02:02):
blueprint for what they would do when someone like Donald
Trump came into office. And I want to get your
thoughts on that, because this is something that's been going
on for some time now.

Speaker 4 (01:02:14):
Well, I think you pointed it out, and Donald Trump
is the epitome of this. That is to say, everyone
on the other side of the fence is evil. They're
not just wrong, they're not someone you disagree with that
at least you should explore their views and oppose them.
They're just simply evil. So once somebody's evil, you don't

(01:02:35):
need to debate, you know, the niceties of ideas, No,
you don't do that. And once they're evil, it justifies
just about anything. Once you call Trump Hitler, well it's
okay to kill Hitler. I mean I would have shot
Hitler and I had the chance, and most of us
would have. And so therefore it's okay to do anything

(01:02:55):
short of killing someone when the other side is evil.
And so that's the idea that's been planted out there.
And what it does is once you do that, it's
a substitute for critical thought, it's a substitute for fairness.
You don't need fairness against Hitler, you don't need critical
thought against Hitler. And so you have that terrible combination

(01:03:18):
of years. And remember it gets back to Saul Olensky.
What do you do when the other side comes up
with a good argument. You demonize them. You make that
person into a terrible ogre. That's the whole idea. Going
back to the Communist Party and the Bolsheviks, the other

(01:03:39):
guys are evil, they're the ones that are counter revolutionary.
They're the bad guys, and you can't listen to anything
they say. And so we have a real problem with
that because it's very ideological. Whereas America has always been
a non ideological country. It's a very practical country. The
founding fathers did not have an ideological revolution like they

(01:04:02):
did in France. And the whole idea is to preserve descent.
Now what's happened now we have ideologue there and the
combination of ideologues and uh lazy thinking is a pretty
rough one. And it applies especially to our journalism, all
coming from the same uh you know, talking points from

(01:04:26):
the journalism professors in these major colleges and so you know,
you don't. You don't hire these places, don't hire someone
who isn't thinking correctly. So you have people that must
have correct thinking. And so it's it's it's it perpetuates itself,
and it's a really, really a problem. That is really

(01:04:47):
it's a it's really a cancer in our democracy. We
need to meet to free thought. I don't care if
another person has a different view than me. Let's have
a debate about it. That's the whole concept. Let's have
a debate. But that is what you cannot no. If
you have a debate, the left screams. The left is
screaming to get Scott Jennings off of ct N because
he actually might have an opposing point of view. That's

(01:05:10):
the left today. The right welcomes debate.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
The left does not, absolutely and that is a real
dangerous place to be in America because you only get
one side of the story. And no wonder there is
so much Trump derangement syndrome. I just have one final
question for you. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate

(01:05:35):
Judiciary Committee, said this about the latest revelations the existence
of prohibited access files at FBI. The FBI use this
system to hide key information, and that was all part
and parcel of this Arctic Frost investigation. With all of

(01:05:57):
that the spying operation. Will anybody ever be held accountable
for this stuff?

Speaker 4 (01:06:04):
I think it is real tough because, and I'll tell
you why. I wrote a long article about prohibited access
a while ago, and it's where a lot of the
wrongdoing was. And James Comy was smart enough to hide
that stuff. But he does it in such a way that,
even though it is arguably wrong or probably wrong, if
he's found out it's not wrong beyond a reasonable doubt,

(01:06:28):
he knows he's not going to get convicted for it. Oh,
I thought this is fine. I thought this is the
way to do it. Oh did I make a mistake.
I don't think so. But if you think so, but
you can't. It's very hard to convict a guy like
James Comy because remember, the guy a smart guy. He's
spent his life figuring out how to trap people into crimes.

(01:06:50):
The guy's very wily, and when you get people like that,
it is very hard to get criminal convictions on them.
The only weapon that is there for our society is
to expose people like that, and that's what we have
to do, and we have to get that discussion going
because in the court of a public opinion, those people,

(01:07:11):
for instance, on prohibited access should be shamed, but they
haven't been. And that's what we need to do. We
have to have a more robust discussion, which I thank
you for having right now, and I thank your show,
which is fantastic by the way, for opening these matters
up for discussion, because that's really what we need. We
need the people that are listening to this show right

(01:07:31):
now talk to other people and get people similarly open,
just open to discussion, open to the truth. That's all
we should ask is Americans. But we don't get it.
And that's what prohibited access is about. It was about
hiding things. So there we are.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
That's what this government did, definitely, and that's not to
say that both Republicans and Democrats haven't been guilty of
this sort of thing, but the abuses we're just so
extreme during the Biden years and I can't help but
think much of that has to do with the fact
that we had a president of the United States who

(01:08:10):
was an absentee landlord. And that's the nicest way I
can say it. John. As always, I appreciate your time
and your perspective and your expertise. Thank you for joining
us today.

Speaker 4 (01:08:20):
Great talking to you.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
You Ben, Take care, God bless there. He is John O'Connor.
He's former assistant US attorney, author of Postgate, How the
Washington Post betrayed Deep Throat, covered up Watergate, and began
today's partisan advocacy journalism. Straight ahead, the city of Milwaukee
makes a comfort policy safe space policy for violent illegal immigrants.

(01:08:47):
We'll tell you more about that next as we roll
on this Tuesday edition of The Dan O'Donnell Show with
your old radio amigo, Matt Kittle. Stay with us. You know,
some people call me the space Cowboy. Some call me
the Gangster of Love. Tom call me Maurice because I
speak of the pompetus of love. It's not even a

(01:09:08):
real word, but I speak of it. But you can
just call me Matt Kittle, your radio talk show host
Philinn Daddy here on the Dan O'Donnell Show. As we
head on up to the four o'clock hour news break
and all of that important information coming up, some more
important information a warm up on the way. I mean,
it's not horrible now. We have certainly seen worse for

(01:09:32):
early March. Temperatures around the Milwaukee land area in the
mid to upper fifties by Friday. We sneak into the
lower sixties by Sunday into early next week. So keep
a good thought. We'll get through the coolish weather and
certainly some rain and drizzle and all of that sort

(01:09:54):
of thing you can expect in early March. But right
now looks like a warm up is on the way.
The Milwaukee Common Council Where to begin, Where to begin? Well,
you know the good folks over there at the Milwaukee
Common Council that want to make sure that our new neighbors,

(01:10:19):
as they like to put it, feel very very welcome.
Council now has expanded its Welcome Violent Illegal Immigrants initiative.
They should have the Department of Tourism in there. Welcome
violent illegal immigrants. Yes you are safe here. Ice is

(01:10:40):
the real villain. Oh you've raped and murdered, no problem,
Ice arresting people. I can't believe it. Yeah, that's basically
what we have here. According to CBS fifty eight, the
Milwaukee Common Council is taking a stand against Immigration and

(01:11:04):
Customs enforcement aka ICE, Ice Baby. The first pieces of
legislation for the Ice Out MKE Ice Out Milwaukee package
past this morning. If we don't take a stand for
people right now in the city of Milwaukee, I don't

(01:11:27):
know who else is going to said Milwaukee Alderwoman Charlene Moore.
Will this stop Ice? No, said Milwaukee Alderman Alex. Just
taking this action today will be a part of the
voices across the country raised up in the street in legislation,

(01:11:51):
letting Congress know how we should be acting, putting pressure
on elected officials, help to bring the time to sweep
change into the country. Hey, Alex, we saw all the
change that swept into the country in the past four
years of the previous administration. Didn't care so much for

(01:12:15):
all that came with that massive change in an illegal
immigration invasion that was endorsed and facilitated by the autopen
presidency known as Joe Biden Alders in past weeks, CBS
fifty eight goes on to report have held several meetings,

(01:12:36):
reportedly drawing in thousands of residents and hundreds of emails
asking for officials to take action against ICE. Do you
think though there might be some people, I don't know
if there's thousands in Milwaukee. But I'm certain that in
Milwaukee and around Milwaukee, because remember, we have to think

(01:12:58):
about this in terms of the gates of Milwaukee are
not closed. It is an open border city. And the
violent crime that is Milwaukee's is ultimately well Watosins and
Waukeshaws and well the rest of the state of Wisconsin

(01:13:19):
and beyond. So that's what people fail to think about.
But I don't think citizens in the outlying areas of Milwaukee,
and citizens in Milwaukee neighborhoods, I don't think they have
forgotten the violence and the disruption and the problems created
by a massive influx of illegal immigrants. Many, of course,

(01:13:43):
have not committed a crime, but too many who have,
I should say, not committed a crime beyond coming here illegally,
but many have committed some very violent crimes. This council

(01:14:04):
is on the side of the violent illegal immigrant. Do
you remember last week at the State of the Union address,
maybe one of my favorite moments of the State of
the Union address other than these people are crazy because
truer words were never said by a president or anyone

(01:14:26):
else talking about the Democrats who refused to stand when
President Donald Trump said we have to have legislation that
stops the mutilation of children through sex change operations for kids.
Not a Democrat stood up. Neither did they stand up

(01:14:46):
when the President said, our first priority needs to be,
always needs to be protecting American citizens before we protect
illegal immigrants. Again, that was widely endorsed by conservatives Republicans,

(01:15:07):
it was shunned by the radical Party, the party that
truly has decided that it will stand with violent illegal
immigrants and not with the safety of the people who
have been here for a very long time. You know what,

(01:15:31):
And it's not like you don't see constant violence on
the streets of Milwaukee. No matter what. That continues to
be a problem, and it continues to be a problem
that has been impacted from decisions made by this idiot
council back in twenty twenty in twenty twenty one, when
it pushed to defund police operations, what we didn't defund them.

(01:15:55):
We just shifted money to social workers so that they
could arrest violently criminals. No, no, we're not going to
arrest violent criminals. No, no, get me wrong there, that
would be wrong. Let me tell you something about the
people this council is protecting with its no ice legislation,

(01:16:17):
out ice legislation, whatever these radicals are calling it. Let's
talk about guys like Omar Muse. Omar was arrested in
Milwaukee on charges of aggravated assault on a public officer
and a legal immigrant who had a criminal history. How

(01:16:40):
about Boon Chavang arrested on charges of dangerous drugs, possession
of weapons. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, by the way, confirmed
late last year the arrest of twenty four illegal aliens
in Manitouwa County, Wisconsin. And again, the problem isn't just Milwaukee,

(01:17:02):
it is elsewhere around this state. Obviously, around this country.
There are no lines that protect citizens against this violence.
But yet the violence continues, and that ring was broken
up suspected ties to a transnational human trafficking and drug
trafficking ring. Here's what I don't understand. These same democrats

(01:17:23):
have made passionate speeches about trafficking children, and here they
are standing up for and standing by and protecting traffickers
of children. How about de Leen Chavez Quintero, he was
arrested in Sturdivan sex assault, rape. All these violent illegal

(01:17:47):
immigrants in Madison, illegal re entry. Who is this again,
Sebastian Riez Diez arrested. Instead of a lot of folks
on the worst of the Worst DHS list being arrested
in Sturdivan for some reason, mister Rayes Diaz was charged

(01:18:13):
with sexual exploitation of a minor, exhibition of a minor
sexual assault, Gregorio Cruz Martinez, sex assault, sodomy on a girl,
strong arm rape, gun. The list goes on and on.
But they've got safe space, They've got sanctuary in Milwaukee.

(01:18:38):
You don't, but the violent illegal immigrants do. We'll take
a quick break, wrap up the show in the five
o'clock hours straight ahead. Stay with us. Here we go,
you exceptional Americans. Final hour of the Dan O'Donnells Show
for this Tuesday, March third, twenty six, in the year

(01:19:01):
of our Lord Matt Kittle. In with you, the lesser known,
less talented Kittle. They do not pay me a lot
of money to go up against linebackers. If they did,
that would be a miscalculation on everyone's part. Yeah, that's
George Kittle. I often get asked the question are you

(01:19:23):
related to George? And I said, yeah, he's my son,
and are you kidding me? And then they remember that
George Kittle's father was a football coach and most likely
in a hell of a lot better shape than I am,
which is true. But nonetheless, it's always fun, it really is.

(01:19:49):
How are you. We have some things to accomplish before
we say a do today and coming up in just
a bit. I thought this was an interesting story about
the cancel culture and the faithless culture. It's just the
more you learn about this culture. Listen, I'm a fifty

(01:20:10):
something year old guy, and I grew up in the
seventies and the eighties and then started my young adult
life in the early nineteen nineties. And I can tell
you one thing about growing up in that period. It

(01:20:31):
made sense. I know my parents, if they were here,
God bless their souls, they would tell you, oh, you
guys did crazy stuff then too. But I think, well,
I can tell you this my mother, who passed away
about eight nine years ago now, just as Trump was

(01:20:54):
beginning his first term in office. She was very confused
about the state of the country. As a seventy two
year old woman at that time, very confused and very
sad and very worried about the state of the culture,
the state of our society, the state of things that

(01:21:17):
had so dramatically changed over the course of her seventy
two years on this earth. And things have dramatically changed
as they are wont to do over the past fifty
plus years of my life. But it really was. And
I don't think the whatever they're calling these kids these days,

(01:21:37):
the z's, the alphas, the alpha that's the little kids. Now.
I have kids in the z's that was the generation before, right,
I don't know, you float chart. For the love of God,
you know, I have kids in you know that are

(01:22:00):
making it through junior high and high school and in
college now, and you know, God bless them, they're gonna
have to deal with this stuff eventually. It just things
were so much simpler, don't you think so?

Speaker 4 (01:22:17):
Eric?

Speaker 1 (01:22:18):
I mean, you grew up in about the same time
period I did. Would people get into a time machine
today who had no perspective on what it was like
to grow up in the nineteen eighties in particular, those
are my most formative years. Do you think that people
would say, Wow, how quaint these times are. It almost

(01:22:41):
feels like Warden June Cleaver and weren't you a little
hard on the beaver last night?

Speaker 2 (01:22:46):
War?

Speaker 1 (01:22:46):
That kind of thing, right, that's absolutely true, absolutely true.
But it was so simple. Eighty seven, Yeah, eighty seven
was a great year for high hair and rolled up pants.
My man just sprayed on whatever you could find in

(01:23:07):
the aquinet department, the dipity do or whatever the stuff
was the women would make.

Speaker 3 (01:23:14):
Do you remember.

Speaker 1 (01:23:16):
What's his name, the killer killer producer of music, Phil
Phil Spector. I was gonna say Phil Specula, Yes, yes,
the murder producer Phil Spector. I remember he used to
have the wall of sound that was his production. He

(01:23:37):
would make, and you know, you would have he was
involved with the Beach Boys, of course, and the Ronets
and all these great musicians. They'd have a wall of sound,
which means so much sound and music coming at you
at one time. That's what we had in the nineteen
eighties with hair. It was the wall of hair. The

(01:24:05):
whole country smelled like aquin That's right. The whole country
in nineteen eighty seven was flammable. You did not want
to light a match. It could get dangerous. And we had,
like I said, we had those pants. Did you do this?
Did you tuck up the pant leg and then fold

(01:24:27):
it into what looked like a small box of a
small pack of cigarettes in your pants. You ever do that?
I did. Yeah, there was some wrong decisions. There are
some bad decisions made in the nineteen eighties. But man,

(01:24:48):
it's just such a weird world now. Anyway, we're going
to talk more about that with Gwen Stefani's great sin
of promoting lent. We'll delve into that a little bit later,
but before we in there, might I remind you, not
that you need reminding on this topic, but Hillary Clinton
is a shrill, hideous human being who has no moral standing.

(01:25:15):
Just in case we've lost sight of that. I like
to call her billery. I like to call Bill Clinton
billery because it's the same entity. They basically share the
same I don't want to say soul and give them

(01:25:36):
too much credit, but they share the They're a machine.
They are a two headed monster of political energy. Of course,
Hillary is the dark brains. Bill Clinton, well, you know what.

(01:25:56):
Bill Clinton is guy who has trouble keeping fly shut,
and he's got a lot of trouble with the Epstein files.
And then so does Hillary Clinton. And Hillary Clinton does
not billery, does not care for the scrutiny that she
is receiving. And let me tell you Billary is mad

(01:26:20):
as hell, and she says she's not going to take
it anymore. A newly released video shows former Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton storming out of the room during her
deposition for the House Oversight Committee's Jeffrey Epstein probe last
week after exploding at Republican lawmakers for allowing a photo

(01:26:43):
of her to leak man. She was mad about that.
She could explain that photo. She had a really difficult
time explaining why her husband was in a hot tub
with a strange woman. She had a hard time explaining
why she was hanging out with Epstein's lover the whole

(01:27:09):
nine yards AnyWho. She went into a tirade. Her attorney
began it this way. Here's a little audio from Fox News.

Speaker 5 (01:27:22):
Excuse me, Can I interrupt? I have another odos that
are being released of the Secretary as she is testifying
from inside this room. Can you please advise me as
to whether or not that's permissible and consistent with the rules,
particularly given that we have asked for public hearing. If
there are photos that are being released of the Secretary
she is testifying, can you please explain how much I've

(01:27:45):
done with this? If you guys are doing that. I
am done. You can hold me a contempt from now
till the cows come home. This is just typical behavior.

Speaker 1 (01:27:52):
She's done. Oh for heaven, I'm say.

Speaker 5 (01:27:55):
To understand how that's permissible. It doesn't matter. We all
are abiding by the same rules. Yeah, well, I would
like to take a break at this, monk.

Speaker 1 (01:28:06):
I'd like to have she's done. What does it matter now?
So they go off the record, and then there's more
of this back and forth. They're mad that the photos
leaked out to the public, photos of Billery in front
of the oversight committee and a closed off deposition. But

(01:28:29):
can we do this here? Because she talks about this
over and over again about how she wanted to make
this so public, she wanted to go before the committee
and make it all public. I just find this part
very interesting. Go ahead, Yeah, we're still off the record record.

(01:28:51):
The majority of time had approximately five minutes left, and
I believe that the witness or her counsel would like
to make a what statements?

Speaker 5 (01:28:59):
Mush, you just used the brake because we learned during
the process of these hearings that the committee was violating.

Speaker 1 (01:29:05):
Its own rules. The attorney's a little low there, but Basically,
what she says is she's scolding the Oversight Committee for
violating its own rules. There shouldn't have been leaked photos
and all of these sorts of things. And therein lies
the question, if she doesn't want leaked photos coming from

(01:29:30):
a private deposition behind closed doors, does she really want
a public hearing? And maybe the answer is yes. They
keep claiming that over and over again. I want to
do this publicly, and you understand the logic of that,
because she wants to make it a spectacle again, and

(01:29:50):
she wants to, you know, do the Benghazi thing. What
does it matter these many years later? What does it
matter that you're accusing my husband of improper activities and
we have photos that show some very troubling things going
on the pool and the trips on the Epstein plane.

(01:30:17):
She's had to explain this a lot. If you've heard
the audio from the BBC interview where the reporter says, yeah,
I know you've you've kind of dismissed all of this
as political and that it's a witch hunt and it's

(01:30:37):
all part of the right wing conspiracy that she's been
talking about for nyon to forty years. We get that,
but can you explain this photo over here, for instance,
and it's a troubling photo. And response to that was, well, no, Well,

(01:31:02):
first of all, it wasn't a hot tub at Jeffrey
Epstein's house. It was a hot tub on his plane.
Oh okay, well that makes it better. That makes it
a lot better. Thank you for clarifying that it was
on a hot tub on the plane where potentially criminal

(01:31:26):
activity was occurring.

Speaker 4 (01:31:28):
Here.

Speaker 1 (01:31:30):
She has always a very defensive posture, and the left
will say, well, that's because she's constantly been under attack.
She was under attack by that evil Newt Gingridge back
in the nineteen nineties. It was I was in a
contract with America. It was a contract on my husband.

(01:31:51):
And I'll tell you this. He shows says my husband,
my husband. Remember when she said, I think it was
a sixty minutes interview. Campaign in nineteen ninety two, all
of the just myriad sex allegations came out, all kinds
of affairs and inappropriate conduct. And you know, Bubba clearly

(01:32:13):
got around lots and lots of allegations, some and many
many in fact, that had Clinton had a hard time
getting around. The civil judgments in the case showed a
few things on that front. That's all part of that history.
But I bring it up because in that interview you

(01:32:34):
had Hillary Clinton saying, you know, I'm not one of
these Tammy Whyette characters. I'm going to stand by my man.
That's absolutely what she has been. She has stood by
this vile guy throughout their entire political career, going back

(01:32:57):
to the nineteen seventies when he was attorney general for
Arkansas and then the years as he was governor, and
how many different allegations about crude sexual conduct came up.
Then this is a guy who has had a very
very difficult time keeping his fly up. And when it

(01:33:21):
was discovered without any doubt that Bill Clinton, despite what
he said during a deposition, did indeed have sexual relations

(01:33:41):
with that woman. They had the dry Cleaning Bill to
prove it, and we know the rest of that story.
And there she was Hillary Clinton, standing by her man,
Paula Jones, all of these, all of these allegations of

(01:34:02):
sexual abuse, harassment, all of that. At every turn, she
has been the Tammy Wine at stand by your man.
And throughout the years in this Epstein web that good
old Bill and his wife the Billery have been caught in,

(01:34:25):
she has always stood by him. That must be love, right,
that must be unconditional love. Now there's a gal who's
really committed to her marriage, to her vows to a
guy who has seemingly had sexual relations with a lot

(01:34:49):
of women, giving Wilt Chamberlain a run for his money.
That's a that's a brave kind of person to stand
by her man that long. She doesn't seem like the
kind of woman who would do that in any other circumstance.

(01:35:10):
He's been very disloyal to a lot of people in
her circle. So disloyal in fact, people worry have been
concerned about where they might be down the road. Ask
the folks involved in Whitewater. She can be vicious, she

(01:35:35):
can be absolutely vicious, as a lot of people on
the inside of that circle who found themselves on the
outside of that circle will tell you. But she's most
vicious about protecting this lascivious lethario of a husband who

(01:35:57):
just can't stop himself, just has forever had this issue.
And here she is again in the Epstein files. It's amazing.
Is that love or is that convenience? Political convenience, political expediency.

(01:36:28):
I think I know the answer to the question. I
think most Americans do too. Coming up straight ahead, As
I said before, the culture is getting more and more decrepit,
and we're going to tell you what the latest turn
in that is all about. As we continue on this
Tuesday edition of The Dan o'donald Show, with yours truly,

(01:36:49):
Matt Kittle, stay with us, keeping it real, keeping it right,
the Dan o'donald Show, your old radiomego Matt Kittle with you.
I'm also playing this fiddle right now. Pretty good. Eh,
only took four lessons. The rest of it is all
me intuitive watch, says Eric. I'm going to do this

(01:37:15):
behind my back here real quick. See that. Yeah, just
like Hendricks, I know it. You can't see it, but
it is theater of the mind, so enjoy my performance.
It's amazing how I can just talk and do all
of this stuff at the same time. But you're not
dealing with a chimp here. Okay. The world is uh well,

(01:37:41):
it's going insane and there's all kinds of evidence of that.
We have seen that for a number of years. It
just seems to be getting more and more insane. And
that has just about everything to do with the radical
left in America, because really, what the whole idea is

(01:38:02):
in the Saul Olynski playbook, in the Marxist Manual that
really the Democrat Party has following because it's been co
opted by the Marxist radical left. It is just just constant,
just constant insanity, constant protest, constant mostly peaceful protest, just

(01:38:30):
constant disorder to eventually break down the system and along
the way, to try the patience of the average American,
the normy, the individual who says, I really don't like
all of this noise in this madness, but I'm tired.

(01:38:51):
I'm just I'm tired of it. I give up. And
so they give up, and they seed power, of course,
and we've seen that over and over again to the
non since locally and you know, beyond state and federal politics.
We've seen it on our school boards and the crap
that they have pushed on us their dei agendas in

(01:39:15):
their indoctrination camps. And you know, a lot of a
lot of Americans, a lot of Wisconsinites have are now
waking up or have been over the last few years. Now.
We're not We're not going to put up with this crap.
But a lot of people get tired, and I remember that,
particularly in Trump's first administration, and it began from the

(01:39:38):
get go. It's an organized movement, indivisible and their ilk
and there are many more, and they're funded by some
of the biggest leftist sugar daddies out there. Your Soro says,
you're Reid Hoffman's speaking of the Epstein files, you know, JB. Pritt,

(01:40:00):
Skirts of the world. My god, there's so much money
poured into that movement of disorder. And then COVID came along,
and then you had the George Floyd thing, and then
the Black Lives Matter waiting for the moment, and they
were there and we saw cities burn, cities burn in

(01:40:23):
this state. I was wait as constant disorder, constant change,
just to keep the average person, the average voter, off
their off their feet, basically, keep them stumbling, and certainly
keep the opposition stumbling. So with all of that said,

(01:40:45):
there are so many different moments, different ramps on ramps
into this crazy world. And this is the latest, and
it's the constant attack on people of faith, particularly Ristians
in this country, who have now all been labeled as

(01:41:05):
Christian nationalists. That's the big term that the left has
to put the maga people, the people who believe that
America should come first, that crazily enough Americans and only
Americans should vote in US elections. By the way, that's

(01:41:29):
something I don't have time to talk about now, but
eventually i'd like to get to it. Is that the
Save America Act, which would block non citizens from registering
and voting in our elections, obviously has been fought tooth
and nail by Democrats who want non citizens to vote

(01:41:52):
in our elections. But we have complicit Republican senators working alongside.
They don't want to deal with it either. They don't
want to get into talking filibusters and have to work.
There are a number of Republican Senators that are saying

(01:42:13):
things publicly about how they support the Save America Act
that includes voter id things that eighty percent of the
American population supports. They don't want to deal with it
because they would have to be near the Senate, near
the floor for what could be days and days, if

(01:42:36):
not weeks, and they really are comfortable with their two
days a week max. Three days of work on the
taxpayer dying. But it's one of those areas that where
again you have somebody who is well known and maybe
not real well known for her faith, but Gwen Stefani

(01:43:00):
who decided that she was going to take a challenge this.
According to Fox News, Gwen Stefani is facing both backlash
and praise after speaking out on faith as the pipe
Icon promotes a forty day Lent challenge. You've heard of
these as we're now in the season of Lent. She

(01:43:24):
promotes a forty day Lent challenge on the prayer and
meditation app Hallow. She's facing accusations of undergoing a mega makeover.
That's right, Gwen Stefani. She's just a girl. You know
all of her hit songs, But now she is a villain.

(01:43:45):
We talked about this earlier. If you make a move
at all to show any level of support or acceptance
for conservative principles in America, you are now not only
part of the axis of evil surrounding Donald Trump, but

(01:44:07):
you're you are a fascist, a villain, a monster. Hey everyone,
I just got my ashes and I'm ready for Lent.
That's what Stefani wrote This year, I'll be doing Hallow's
forty day Lent prayer challenge. It's going to be incredible.

(01:44:27):
Check it out. God bless simple message from a woman
of faith. I don't know if she's always been a
Catholic and she's always been active in her faith. That's
none of my damn business. It's really nobody's business. And

(01:44:48):
obviously she's made it other's business because she's out there
promoting this. But all she is is promoting something that
a lot of other Catholics are promoting and Lutherans and others,
Stefani says in the ad, but that has been widely
shared on social media. In another video she posted on

(01:45:11):
Instagram on ash Wednesday, the fifty five year old singer
woh woah, who whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. Back that up
a minute. Gwen Stefani is fifty five. Can you Eric?
Can you believe that? I can't. She's slightly older than me,

(01:45:33):
and you know what that means. She's older than me,
she's older than dirt. She doesn't look like dirt. She
definitely doesn't look like me. She's still a very very
fetching woman. I just I just remember her big hits,
you know, starting out in the nineties, and she was

(01:45:53):
such a young woman then. But I guess that is
the strange relative course of time. I did didn't I
almost called her handsome. Oh, I'm such a pioneer. In
another video she posted on Instagram on ash Wednesday, the

(01:46:14):
fifty five year old singer expressed her excitement for Lent
and invited her seventeen point seven million followers to join
her in the forty day Prayer challenge with Hallo. Good
for her, God bless her for doing that. She's got
a huge audience and she's not using it for more.
You know, crap. Think about all the things that celebrities

(01:46:37):
and influencers use Instagram and social media for. It's not
to better society. It's not for people to meditate on
their lives, not to find God. It's all self involved nonsense.
This is different. Stefani's boldness and stepping forward with her

(01:46:58):
faith and her decision to work with Hallow has not
come without controversy, of course not. Stefani's loyal fans appear
divided on social media. Some have been cheering her on,
but others are more critical, accusing her of abandoning her
former cool image and diving headfirst into religious conservatism by

(01:47:23):
partnering with the app, which has garnered criticism for its
Oh Lord, can it possibly be its pro life stance,
its stance that says no, we don't support murdering babies,

(01:47:44):
because she been criticized for that, and so is the
app and its ties to conservative figures like Vice President J.
D Vance, who is an investor in Hollow by the way.
Oh no, well that's terrible. One critic wrote on X
how she went from being the coolest woman ever to
the mega religious be Yeah, there's your tolerant coexist left

(01:48:12):
right there. How she went from being the coolest woman
ever to this mega religious be dash dash Dash is
beyond me. Shame on her. Shame on her for bringing
prayer to her audience. Shame on her for recognizing there's

(01:48:32):
something bigger than herself. Shame on her for not being
yet another self absorbed, pathetic, leftist narcissist. Another lamented Gwen

(01:48:53):
Stefani's Mega downfall is so disappointing. I don't know who
wrote that, but I can imagine.

Speaker 2 (01:49:02):
Ah.

Speaker 1 (01:49:04):
She's a white woman in her mid thirties, she has
blue and or pink hair, and she is petting a
cat right now. She ain't no Hall of Back girl anymore.
She has the mega makeover. Another comment, you know people
are not only in this culture, in this day and age.

(01:49:25):
They're not just millions of people who are you know,
just awful, just hate everything. They're also so stupid. One
person simply wrote, ug canceled and there you have it.
Sums it all up, thankfully. There are defenders of Stefani

(01:49:51):
asking if people would like to join her in prayer
what a sin that is? If being religious is now
a mega thing, than maybe we should start dragging all
your favorites who also share faith, one fan wrote. Another
fan hit back at the MAGA labeling, saying it's a

(01:50:15):
huge disservice when we label people who just want to
stay out of the political moment. Gwen represents millions who
don't fit into these boxes. We should be careful. Yes,
that sounds like a sobering statement, a sober statement. We
could use more of that, But instead you have a

(01:50:36):
population of people that has to make everything political. This
clearly is part of Gwen Stefani's faith, as it is
of millions upon millions of Americans who are now in
the middle of a very sacred season, the lentency. There

(01:51:02):
is nothing I want to repeat. There is absolutely nothing
wrong with that. There is nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with
celebrating that, with hollowing that, with encouraging that. We could
use more of that and less of the self absorbed,

(01:51:29):
self involved people that want to just tear everything down,
particularly faith, particularly Christian faith in this country. All right,
stand by coming up in just a moment. We'll wrap
it up with a few spare thoughts. Got a couple
of odds and ends. I want to get to and oh,

(01:51:53):
are you ready for some expensive football? Well you're already there.
It's gonna get more. So stick around on the Tuesday
edition of the Dan o'donald Show with your radio amigo,
Matt Kittle, stay with us. I want to thank my
friends the e Walks for joining us in the band
this afternoon. Thank you guys, looking good. You lose a
little weight over there. Fellow, it's catchy. It is catchy. Hi, buddy,

(01:52:24):
how you doing? Kittle? Here? You are there as we're
wrapping it up, just a few short minutes left of
the Dan o'donald Show with your old buddy, Matt Kittle.
Got a few things to take care of first and foremost.
The Department of War has released the names of the
dead so far in the war in Iran. William Tecumseh Sherman,

(01:52:49):
the famous Civil War general, delivered the famous line, the
true true line about war, war is hell, And when
the young people, brave military members start coming home in caskets,

(01:53:09):
that's when war is real. We have the names of
the individuals. Again, let me preface this all by saying,
there are justifications for this country and its military to
be in Iran in different capacities. There are justifications and

(01:53:33):
arguments absolutely against this, but ultimately it comes down to
the people involved in it, and those people include Captain
Cody A. Cork thirty five of winter Haven, Florida, Sergeant
first class Noah el Tegians forty two of Bellevue, Nebraska,

(01:54:00):
Sergeant first class Nicole M. Armor thirty nine of White
Bear Lake, Minnesota, and Sergeant Declan J. Cody twenty of
West des Moines, Iowa. The four Army Reserved soldiers who
were supporting Operation Epic Fury died on March first in

(01:54:27):
Port Shualba, Kuwait during an unmanned aircraft system attack. All
soldiers were assigned to the one hundred third Sustainment Command
from Des Moines, Iowa. The incident remains under investigation. According
to the Department of War. Again, brave people who knew

(01:54:54):
what they were signing up for when they got into
this line of work. It reminds me of how many
people I know who are giving of themselves selflessly in
the protection of their country. And we'll find out ultimately

(01:55:15):
if all of this was worth it. This could be
a long time in the making. But right now I'm
thinking about, and I'm praying about those four people who
gave the last full measure of their devotion to their country,
and I pray for their families, and I pray for
this country. Just one other note in the more banal arena,

(01:55:40):
that's for sure. But there are a lot of concerns.
Perhaps you share them. A lot of Americans do about
the high cost of the NFL, the National Football League,
and its partnerships with streaming networks and the cable and
all of it all costing a lot of money, a

(01:56:03):
lot more money than it did certainly not too long ago.
Senator Mike Lee of Utah is urging the Justice Department
in Federal Trade Commission to probe the soaring cost of
watching NFL and other sports games at the f as
the FCC has signaled it may crack down on pro

(01:56:24):
leagues deals with streamers. The New York Post has learned
producer Eric, do you have do you have all of
the streams? Do you have all access? Do you have
the red zone, the outside zone? No, you don't have
any of that. Huh, how do you? How do you
watch the NFL? One of the smartest guys you will

(01:56:49):
ever meet in radio? Yeah? Why not make them pay
for it? Now? Are you're going to have a drink
and chat with some friends at the same time. Mike Lee,
senator from Utah, chairs the Senate's Anti Trust Subcommittee, on
Monday called on the DOJ's Acting Assistant Attorney General and
FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson to probe whether the law governing

(01:57:14):
rights rights to air games serves consumers in the age
of streaming. According to a copy of a letter obtained
by the Post, under the Sports Broadcasting Act of nineteen
sixty one, leagues have been able to cool their individual
team's TV rights into massive packages and hold deals with
multiple streamers, forcing football fans to spend roughly one thousand

(01:57:38):
dollars on cable and streaming services if they wanted to
watch every NFL game this past season. According to Lee
one thousand dollars listen. I love watching my Green Bay Packers.
I love listening to them, and I listened to him
right here, and that saves me a good deal of money.
I am not going to pay one thousand dollars to
see bad Bunny grope himself. Okay, that's where we're heading

(01:58:04):
in the NFL. Always enjoy being with you until we
talk again. Make it a great Tuesday evening. Matt Kittle
saying goodbye, so long, God bless
