Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Friday edition of the Dan O'donnald Schon. Dan's back
with you, same bat time, same bat channel on Monday,
I do believe. Until then, it's yours truly and the
rest of the gang here keeping you company on this Friday,
July tenth, twenty twenty six, in the year of our Lord,
Doug Russell, our excellent producer, making sure that this vehicle
(00:21):
stays on the roadway. And let's just put it this way. Doug,
as always when I'm on, is doing the Lord's work. Oh,
we have a lot to talk about today, a lot
to get to. I would be remiss though if I
didn't let you know, didn't remind you that's starting on Monday,
We're going to give you another chance, and many chances
(00:45):
at that, to win a thousand dollars. That's right, Stay
tuned starting Monday morning. We're going to do that every
hour throughout the day. We'll give you all the details
coming up on Monday morning with the Benjamin Yon straight
ahead this hour right around three twenty so, in about
(01:07):
fifteen minutes or so, the race for the seventh US
Marine and financial advisor Kevin Hermaning is running to fill
the seventh congressional district seat currently held by Representative Tom Tiffany,
the GOP's candidate for governor, Kevin is among several candidates
vying for that position. They had a big debate up
(01:29):
in Rhinelander a couple of days ago. We'll talk about that,
We'll talk about the campaign. We'll talk about the issues
that matter to the seventh Congressional District and the state
of Wisconsin. Because remember, while you have a representative clearly
hopefully representing his or her congressional district, that individual also
(01:53):
must represent the interest of Wisconsin, and although it's increasingly
more and more difficult, the interest of this republic that
would be nice too. So we'll talk a little bit
more about that around the four o'clock hour. Oh yes,
(02:14):
I am certain that Dan has talked about this particular
story and the rest of the gang here, but I
need to appine a bit on Joel Brennan, and we'll
do that with a segment coming up in the four
o'clock hour. Hey, Joel Brennan, go vet yourself part of
(02:35):
the whole silly charade that is the Democrat side of
the Wisconsin gubernatorial contest, with a whole lot of goobers,
So we'll talk more about that coming up. You had
one job. One job I will chat about the speaking
(02:56):
of vetting the people who were supposed to be in
charge of vetting Ram Platner, the disgraceful Democrat candidate for Maine,
as they finally now drive him out. They were more
than willing to keep Graham Platner around as long as
they had a chance still of beating Susan Collins. That
(03:17):
is no longer the case. Graham Platner with his Nazi
tattoo in his sexting and the serious allegations of sexual
misconduct now is hey pretty much gone. What will the
Democrats do? I can tell you this. We have several
(03:38):
candidates that we will introduce this afternoon on this afternoon show.
Other candidates Democrats will vote for to take on what
they believe to be that fascist Nazi dictator Trump, whereas
they like to call him the twenty first centuries Adolf Hitler.
Keep in mind, they entertained the idea of a guy
(04:02):
with a Nazi tattoo being their standard bearer in Maine
for an incredibly lengthy amount of time. We'll get to
that coming up a little bit later too. And oh,
this is alarming, very interesting story about where we stand
(04:24):
in the ideological divide in the country today. We're also
going to have on the program, I think one of
the best reporters out there on the whole Tyler Robinson case.
The week long preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson, the man
accused of assassinating conservative icon Charlie Kirk, wrapped up today.
(04:49):
The Federalist reckon Thieves has provided, like I said, some
of the best coverage out there of this nationally watched case.
He will join us coming up in the four o'clock hour.
Like I said, we got a lot of action, whereas
I like to call it a lot of hot Friday action.
(05:09):
And that sound hot. Yes, no, it's hot out there,
so we might as well. Oh, I have to do
this again, and I don't think the message is getting
out there, but when it gets particularly humid, and we're
in for a long stretch of hot, humid air, when
(05:31):
it gets to that point. As a public service, I
always like to keep you informed if there is indeed
a shirtless dude alert out and yes, coming into work today,
a lot of shirtless dudes, So just keep that in
mind as you travel about try to avert your eyes.
(05:52):
Nobody needs to see that. Let us begin here, though,
with m I A Mitch. You've been following this story
about good old Mitch. I think they made a movie
about him at one point. Here's a little bit of
that trailer.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Oh god, what kind of a host invites you to
his house to the weekend and dies on it.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
That weekend at Mitch's That's where right now. Unfortunately, the
sad state of affairs is that the senator from Kentucky, Tucky, Kentucky,
Mitch McConnell Addison, Mitch McConnell. Nonetheless, I bet you didn't
know that was his first name. He had a very serious,
(06:41):
reportedly a very serious health concern a few weeks back,
almost a month now, and then was transported to the
hospital and then just kind of disappeared. There is a
piece in the Federalist today. I encourage you to read it.
I like that reporter. Now this guy this I like
(07:02):
the cut of his jib. You can find it at
the Federalist dot com. The headline is, am I A.
Mitch McConnell must explain his absence or retire. This is
how it begins. He's dead, No No, he's alive. No,
he's brain dead. Now I think he's living in a
(07:22):
Barstow Motel six under an assumed name with Elvis. The
political and social media spheres have been buzzing for nearly
a month about Senator Addison Mitchell McConnell's state of existence.
The eighty four year old Kentucky Republican reportedly was admitted
(07:43):
to a DC area hospital on June fourteenth after he
suffered cardiac arrest at his Capitol Hill townhouse. And then,
like I said, he just seemed to disappear into thin air.
Have you spoke going to Senator Mitch McConnell, a reporter
asked President Donald Trump on Thursday, No, I haven't, Trump answered,
(08:06):
Do you know how he's doing? Asked another, I have
no idea how he's doing. The President said, The question
is do his colleagues really The Upper House's rules are
clear senators must disclose to the Senate reasons for an
extensive absence. As The Federalist co founder and CEO Sean
(08:29):
Davis noted Thursday on X it's not clear whether McConnell,
who holds the record as the longest serving party leader
in the Senate's history has followed the rules. There's not
much clear about this because his folks, for whatever reason,
refuse to give Kentucky constituents and the rest of the
(08:52):
country the world that is proof of life. If you
don't recall, we'll go back over some of the details here.
On July second, McConnell's staff said in a statement, the
former Senate Majority leader appreciated the outpouring of support. This
was last week outpouring of support he's receiving while he
(09:14):
continues his recovery in the hospital. At that point, his
staff said McConnell was improving and that he was working
closely with his office on Kentucky and Senate matters. While
the Senate is out of session. Whoo least, Mitch McConnell
is staying in touch. He's there, he's well, he's here.
(09:38):
I guess it's the ultimate thing. That's what we at
least thought at the time. We also know that the
Senate is on another extended vacation while critical bills like
the Save America Act collect us. But that's neither here
nor there right now. McConnell's absence, completely out of the
public eye is strained and concerning let's just say. It
(10:03):
has created a stir, lots of speculation, plenty of conspiracy theories.
His last Senate vote was on June eleventh, so almost
a month ago, three days before he reportedly suffered a
loss of consciousness and was rushed to the hospital. A
couple of weeks prior to the sketchy incident, McConnell was
(10:24):
photographed getting around the Capitol in a wheelchair. The last
time he ostensibly weighed in on his Facebook and x accounts,
at least as of late last night, was on June twelve,
two days before the incident. Yes, it's clear, and it's
been so for a long time. Mitch McConnell is not well.
(10:46):
But is Mitch McConnell dead. Some lawmakers are worried. Representative
Marlon Stutzman, Republican Indiana, on Thursday told Good Morning America
that he doesn't know whether McConnell is dead or alive.
He said, I have not heard from him, and I
think it's a question that Republicans should be asking because
(11:08):
he does represent the state of Kentucky. His constituents deserve
answers where he is at. Conservative influencer and Trump ally
Laura Lumer insists McConnell is quote officially brain dead, per
a quote high level source close to the White House.
(11:30):
But then there are others. The reports of McConnell's death
have been greatly exaggerating, exaggerated, according to some who know
the senator and a few who don't. CNN reported that
Representative Jack Kimball this is one of my favorite parts
(11:52):
of the piece. Representative Jack Kimball of California's fifty fourth
district confirmed McConnell's aliveness. Fortunately for CNN, neither Jack Kimball
nor his fictitious fifty fourth exist. But this is what
Representative Jack California Jack had to say. I spoke to
(12:13):
my old friend, Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior senator
from Kentucky, the political parody account posted on x he's
still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy
of forty five minutes. He's so sharp, Just like always,
he let me do all of the talking. He's a
great listener. After that, we prayed silently for a while
(12:36):
and had a staring contest, just like always, he beat me.
I'm sorry, but it seems we have some more Weekend
at Bernie Illusions. There actual lawmaker, Senate Majority Leader John
Thune and Senate Majority Whip John Burrosso of Wyoming said
that they have spoken with McConnell earlier this week, each
(13:00):
chatting with the senator about the issues of the day.
At least there spokespeople said they said that News Nation
political campaign reporter Jackie Copple last Thursday, a late Thursday
I should say, reported that a source familiar with the
McConnell health situation told her the senator is alive. He's
(13:20):
not brain dad. He's in rehab and the hospital with
his condition. He needs time to physically recover, but mentally
he's fine. The doctors want to make sure he's okay,
the source said. According to Copple, if that source again
is California Jack Kimball, we're back to square one. But
(13:43):
the problem is McConnell's flunkeys refuse to say what's ailing
the old man this time, what the prognosis is, when
or if he is expected to return to the Senate.
They have provided no photos, no video, no proof of life,
and a whole lot of speculation has filled the uncertainty gap.
(14:06):
More so because the senator's most recent appearances at the
Capitol involved aids helping him walk. The octagenarian lawmaker, set
to retire when his current term ends in January, has
dealt with several health incidents over the last few years,
some that have sidelined him for extended periods of time.
(14:29):
But as noted, McConnell's disappearance presents a bigger problem for
the Senate and his constituents. As Davis the Federalist points out,
the standing rules of the Senate state no senator shall
absent himself from the services of the Senate, rather than
communicating through secret phone calls or anonymous sources. McConnell has
(14:52):
an obligation to disclose to the Senate the reasons for
his extended absence and to request permission of the Senate
to grant him the privilege of continued absence, Davis wrote
on X. Without that disclosure and request, and without explicit
Senate approval for his extended absence, which I am sure
(15:13):
the Senate would grant, McConnell has an obligation to resign,
but he is required to make the request under the
standing rules of the Senate. These are the rules in
its long pastime for senators to actually follow them, of course,
asking senators to follow the rules, asking senators to actually
(15:34):
do their jobs is It's difficult. It's tricky. So is
determining the actual status of Mitch McConnell. But we will
be on weekend with Mitch. Watch for now and into
the foreseeable future. Straight ahead, a conversation with Kevin hermaning
(15:56):
candidate for Congress representing the the seventh Congressional District that
coming up next on this Friday edition of The Dan
O'Donnell Show, with yours truly, Matt Kittle, stay with us.
That's the kind of thing that we're looking at coming
up in just a bit, Hey, Joel Brennan, go vet
yourself and more from the world of vetting. Now, let's
(16:21):
turn our attention to the fighting seventh Congressional District. US
marine and financial advisor Kevin Hermany is running to fill
the seventh Congressional District seat currently held by Representative Tom Tiffany,
GOP's candidate for governor. Kevin joins us now on the
Dan O'Donnell Show. Good afternoon, sir, how are you. It's
(16:41):
been a while, Matt.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
It's a very much busy time, of course, less than
thirty five days, of course, until the primary, but we're
busy out on the campaign trail and really appreciate the
opportunity to speak with you and your listeners.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Of course, now, you bet, it's amazing to me how
quickly this summer is going. And then all of a sudden,
as you start winding down the summer, you start thinking
about the primary, and obviously it's another very interesting primary
season in the Badger State. Before we get into the
campaigns and the politics, I wanted to get your sense
(17:18):
of things, if you don't mind on the on again,
off again? Is at peace? Is it war in Iran?
Nobody knows what it is like to deal with this
evil regime in Iran like you do. You were forced
to stay there against your will for a very long time,
(17:40):
one of the hostages taken in nineteen seventy nine. What's
your thought on the latest twist and turn on that front?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Well, you and I spoke about a year ago when
the President first took action to try to decimate the
nuclear weapons that the Arenians have and pursuing for a
long time. We've talked since then, but now we're at war.
And what was interesting to me going all the way
back to February twenty eighth, when things began and the
President went to speak to the nation, I believe in
(18:14):
the middle of the night, around two in the morning.
He mentioned that it was his hope that things are
going to be over in three weeks, which told me
that he received really bad advice or somebody who didn't
do a great job as far as writing the news
release or his speech. But I will say that for
forty seven years, everybody watching the work, the nonsense, the machinations,
(18:40):
all the things coming out of Iran, everybody knows that
in order to have any negotiation and a negotiated settlement
to anything, you need two honest brokers, and the Arenians
have never come to the negotiating table as an honest broker. So,
you know, a couple of days ago or a week
or so, the President said that the new leaders of Iran,
(19:00):
they're not really new other than the bodies, but the
politics are the same. The Islamic regime really hasn't changed
except for the figureheads. He referred to them as very
fine people, and I know that that's how he talks
when he's negotiating. But now they're scumbags, and that's really
what they've been. I mean, let's face it, until you
(19:22):
see real regime change, until you see real changes in
their death to America and death to Israel stance, you're
never going to really come to an agreement that's going
to cause our country and the world to truly be
at peace with regard to the Middle East.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah. Now, unfortunately that is the case. And that's a
big problem obviously, because a lot of Americans aren't real thrilled,
weren't real thrilled with going there in the first place,
and they're not thrilled about staying. But I really thought
maybe there was a promising sign when the Gayetola took over.
Maybe he was he was going to be a little
(20:02):
more open to peace and love. But it's as the
who once put it, meet the new boss same as
the old boss. It appears to me that you would
agree with the president. These people are nuts, These people,
in his words, are cuckoo.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Well, I mean yes, I mean the regime has had
an anti American ben since the Islamic Republic was born.
On the very day, I guess the day after we
were captured back in nineteen seventy nine, and for four
hundred and forty four days they beat that drum death
to America, Yankee go home, all of that. So they
weren't too keen on sending the Yankees, those of us
(20:41):
there home early. They waited until the very day that
Ronald Reagan was sworn in. During the inauguration, he had
his hand on the Bible, his other one raised up
his palm, and that's when we were actually freed. That's
when the plane took off. A lot of your listeners
who are old enough to remember this, you watched it
on the split screen TV, the plane taking off and
(21:02):
the president being inaugurated, and it really demonstrated our whole
time in captivity, the beginning of it, the takeover of
the embassy, the fall of the Shaw. Of course, this
was during the Cold War, so I think people need
to understand the context of why Iran was and frankly
remains so important because the former Soviet Union now the
leaders of the Soviet Republic has republics. What do they
(21:24):
care the most about getting access to a warm water port?
And so the Persian Gulf has always been in the
target of our world, of our nation's biggest adversary. But
while Russia is certainly a big adversary, as is China.
We can't ignore Iran. What we can't do, though, is
Matt we cannot change the leaders ourselves. We can't install
(21:48):
somebody new. The Aranian people have to do it themselves.
We can encourage, we can help, we can't be putting
actual boots on the ground, and by that I mean
foot brigades and things of that sort. We all everybody
knows that they are special operators working there, thank goodness.
But the goal is really to prevent the Iranians from
(22:08):
getting nuclear weapons, hopefully bring about regime change with the
people doing it themselves, and then bring our men and
women home because this is costing our country in treasure
and hopefully no more deaths, way too much cost. The
cost is it's bearable, but for a very short time. Yet,
we need to bring our men and women home and
(22:29):
start focusing on the needs of the people of our
country and certainly for me, the people of Wisconsin and
Northern Wisconsin in particular.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, you know it's you cannot trust the world's leading
funder of terrorism at the negotiating table, but take them
at their word when they're walking around with signs saying
I'm going to kill you Donald Trump, death to America.
That's what they want, and they are willing, fully willing
(23:01):
to die because they have some twisted sense of what
is right when they are very very evilly wrong. But
we'll expound upon that a little bit more, perhaps on
a later day. Right now, we are talking to Kevin
hermaning seventh congressional district candidate. He is a US marine
(23:21):
and financial advisor. I never say former marine, because I
know marines and there's nothing former about that. I know
you have been identified as such, but once a marine,
always a marine, particularly with the experiences you've gone through.
Speaking of experiences you went through, I believe it will
be the only televised debate of this campaign season and Rhinelander.
(23:43):
I caught a bit of it, some interesting back and forth.
Give me your takeaway with the other three candidates involved.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah, so Tuesday night we were on WJFWTV twelve out
of Rhinlander. It was a live debate. But to be blunt,
it really was a debate because there was no conversation,
no challenging of comments, no back and forth between the
candidates ourselves. It was between the moderator and each candidate
answering questions that the moderator the news director at Channel twelve.
(24:16):
I had posed to us and that really makes it
a forum, if you will. But I think there were
there weren't any real errors committed by any of the candidates.
The candidates each of us. We brought our strengths when
they existed, and the weaknesses were exposed, and I think
(24:38):
that it's going to be a very interesting primary. We've
had great feedback from that debate. My job was to
make sure that the volters of northern Wisconsin understand it.
I cut my teeth in politics under Ronald Reagan at
New Kingridge. I've been leading the Republican Party of Marathon
County for more than two decades. Of the p last
(25:00):
forty years, i've helped to elect conservative I was a
Trump elector in twenty sixteen, and I am in America
first Conservative. But I also understand we need to keep
our country safe. And I pray someday that my now
two and a half year old grandson, Theodore, did not
have roan to fight in the future because this time,
(25:24):
hopefully in twenty twenty six we'll get the job done.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah, this is a nationally watched primary, not because of
what might happen in November. Really, I mean this is
a pretty deep red district. Again, everything is possible and
on the table in a midterm, but this is really
competing for this primary. Who is going to replace Tom
(25:49):
Tiffany as Tom Tiffany runs for governor. You've got Michael Alfonso.
His father in law, of course, is Department of Transportation
Secretary Sean Duffy, who formed represented the seventh Congressional district
and anybody who's been following politics knows all about that
he has the president's endorsement. Then you have Nina Baum,
(26:10):
lifelong Northwood's resident, a dog musher who founded Northwood's Young Professionals.
The idea was to attract and retain workers in northern Wisconsin.
And then Jesse Eben, a public relations professional who describes
herself as a Trump Republican. She was also very interested
in making sure that her challengers didn't on the pallid
(26:33):
and that didn't pan out well for her. But what
do you think, where does your campaign stand right now?
Because it's difficult, but it's not impossible to win without
the blessing of Donald Trump in Magaland.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Well, yes, the people of Northern Wisconsin on the Republican
primary side. Definitely do support the President's agenda. I am
fortunate to have had so many decades of strong conservative leadership,
not just in the party but also matt I was
on my school board in Mozany for sixteen of the
(27:09):
last thirty three years, and that included a stint as
board president during COVID, where Mozany became the only K
twelve public school district in the state to have been
from the start and all through it mass optional. We
gave our students, we gave our we gave our staff
the choice of what they wanted to do and not
fall under the control of the mask tyranny and the
(27:32):
COVID rules that so many wanted to put on other people.
We also passed policies that did not allow boys or
males to go into girls spaces, which I think is important.
You know, my job is to make sure that the
voters know, the primary voters know that. Although I was
(27:54):
not in the race when the President handed the endorsement
to mister Duffy's son in law, I nonetheless have been
supportive of the President's policies. There is not a lot
of light between any of the candidates. Well, maybe Nina
Baum she's definitely she didn't even vote for President Trump
in twenty twenty or in twenty twenty four. But the
(28:15):
other candidates in the race, there's not a lot of
light between us on the actual issues or for our
support for most of the President's agenda. But I'm also
my own man, and I've been able to demonstrate that
as a leader in a variety of ways my small business,
you know, helping people for nearly four decades figure out
(28:35):
as a financial advisor, an independent financial advisor, whether they've
got enough money to last the rest of their lives
as things increasingly become expensive, and you know, also dealing
in general with economic challenges. I've balanced sixteen budgets on
my school board. I help people ballenge their budgets every
single day as a matter of my work. And so
(28:58):
everybody knows, everybody listens, everybody in the country knows that
our country is very much in debt, and it's rising
every day, and we need some serious physcal sanity. Returning
to Washington, do you ever.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Want to turn to these younger folks, Kevin and say
give him the Ronald Reagan line to Mondale, I'm not
going to hold my opponent's youth and inexperience against him
because you just laid it out there. You know, these
are folks in Michael Alonso, you know, and Jesse Eben.
(29:35):
They clearly care about Wisconsin. They clearly care about the
Trump agenda, and they want to protect.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
Out of servant for sure, that's right they do. And
and I've helped. I've sponsored Marware County Party in Wawsa,
a marathon county. We've helped to support young people getting
into our political process, helping elect people to school boards,
helping people get elected to city councils and mayors. Now
(30:02):
State Representative Brent Jacobson served five terms as mayor of
Mozania and he's still in his thirties, so before he
went to the state House. I guess my position on
this is really that we are living in a very
serious time now in a nation's history, economically and now
with the war. And I am very much positioned in
(30:22):
such a way that I will be able to stand
with my peers in Washington, DC and tell them when
they're making mistakes, and I'll listen to them when they
think I'm making mistakes. But bring about some financial literacy
into Washington, help help a conversation as a veteran, as
I am to remind people that the last who want
(30:44):
to commit our young men and women to combat our veterans,
but sometimes it's necessary. So I'm bringing a very serious
approach to this race, a very serious countenance to what
I am talking about on the campaign trail, and I'm
not going there as part of a learning curve. I'm
also not going there to build a lifetime in Washington,
(31:07):
d C. My only time of elective office was as
a school board member, but that was a great training
ground also to learn how to master the idea of
negotiation and listening to the people who elected us to
figure out what policies to pursue along with our own
core in my case, core conservative philosophies and principles. This
(31:30):
is not a starter job math. This is not something
you go to do as your first job. We've seen
people who've done that in their first jobs in elective office.
It's worked out a few times, but it's also definitely
not worked outs in some other cases.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Final question for it, but just have a minute left,
and I think this is an important question for all
of the candidates to me this twenty twenty six mid
is ah, we have some town issues there. Do we
lose Kevin? Are you still there?
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Nope, I'm still here. I'm still here.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Okay. I know that reception. I know reception can be
a little challenging sometimes when you get into parts of
the North Winds. But this really is to me not
a race between Republicans and Democrats anymore. Now you talk
about the seriousness of this, This is a race between
crazy and sane. How do you feel about where we
(32:36):
stand in American politics today? With the left constantly moving
farther and farther left, the so called democratic socialist, the
communist threat here in America? That is real. How do
you feel about it all?
Speaker 3 (32:49):
It is very real, and we have to address it
as conservatives and keep telling the story about American exceptionalism.
I will say that I am an adjunct professor teaching
Future Financial Advisors a uw SP and in talking to
some of my students, many of my students there is
a conservative bent. They just need to understand the why
(33:11):
behind it. And I've had some great conversations in class
and after class with a lot of my students who
do think that we need to have more personal responsibility
and fiscal responsibility, yet maintaining a social safety net that
is not a handout, but to help people who otherwise
have challenges that are not of their own making.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Kevin hermaning US marine and financial advisor, running Republican in
the Republican primary to fill the seventh Congressional district seat
currently held by Representative Tom Tiffany, the GOP's candidate for governor. Kevin,
it's always a pleasure talking to which are the best
of luck as you move forward, and hope to talk
to you in the not too distant future.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Thank you, Matt, appreciate it. Have a great weekend.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Bet be well, God bless We need to break coming
up next the well the other candidates that Democrats would
vote for so that they that candidate can take on that,
as they call it, that Nazi hitler, Donald Trump. That's
straight ahead, now, you know. The Democrats have spent a
(34:23):
long time pointing their fingers and shaking their fists and
telling you that Donald Trump is a fascist, Donald Trump
is a dictator, Donald Trump is the twenty first century Hitler.
(34:45):
Why let's just get into the old wayback machine. Sholly
courtesy of Fox News.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
I know it's a loaded word, but when you say
you're going to be dictator on day one, I mean,
look up the the nition of fascism, the characteristics of
a dictator, an authoritarian. I mean General Milly said it himself,
but Trump again reinforced it himself. So I don't think
it's overstating.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
This is stuff from the nineteen thirties.
Speaker 6 (35:16):
This is Hitler stuff.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Yes, he is an authoritarian figure.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
General Mark Milly was quoted saying Donald Trump is fascist.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
To the core.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
What is driving Harris to support this language publicly?
Speaker 2 (35:30):
I mean, it's the truth.
Speaker 6 (35:30):
It's what people believe, and I think that she wants
the American people it's the truth.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
And then she said what it really is, it's what
people believe. It's what people believe because they have been
fed this crap for a long time from a radical
Marxist left that has shown that it will do anything
up to loading up a gun and trying to assassinate
(35:56):
the president of the United States, their number one political enemy.
But we hear all the time about how Trump is Hitler.
And then they put the left, the Democrats, put everything
into a guy named Graham Plattner, the accused rapist, who
now is is he bowing out, he suspended his campaign.
(36:17):
He's taking some time to contemplate things. But you had
your Bernies, and you had your Lizzes, and you had
all of these Democrats for so long hearing all of
these wretched, horrible things. But here's the thing too, Beyond
the rape stuff which is bad, beyond the sexual misconduct,
(36:38):
all of that, this is a guy who sported a
Nazi tat too and had real Nazi thoughts, and they
backed him up. So with that in mind, here are
some other candidates Democrats will vote for in their zest
to take on that fascist Nazi dictator Donald Trump the
(37:02):
twenty first centuries. Adolf Hitler number one on the Democrats
list they will vote for to get rid of the fascists,
to get rid of the Adolf Hitler is Adolf Hitler.
If they had Adolf Hitler on the ballot against Trump,
there would be a good percentage of Democrats. I guarantee
(37:23):
you that would vote for Adolf Hitler. Others on the list, Hermann, Goring,
Heinrich Himmler, come stay with us on the Dad the
Kittle who was not invited to Taylor and Travis's wedding.
(37:45):
It's a shame too. I think I really would have
added a little different perspective to that event. Am, I
am I right in saying this, Adam Sandler married the
I believe that is the case, Then you know it's
(38:05):
the real deal. These are folks who really really are
seeking that greater bond. When Adam Sandler marries you, you
know that that's a relationship that will last forever and ever. Amen,
what do we have coming up on the show. We're
(38:25):
going to have breaking news here in just a moment,
but I want to tell you that in about fifteen
minutes a conversation with the federalist Breckin Thieves. He's been
covering all week. The trial that everybody's been watching actually
is not a trial. We should make that clear. It's
the preliminary hearing to determine whether this thing goes to trial.
(38:47):
But it's the case of Tyler Robinson, the man accused
of assassinating conservative icon Charlie Kirk wrapped up today a
bunch of new developments, and we'll catch up on what
has happened and the defining moments of this week. Again,
the federalist Brecon Thieves has provided some of the best
coverage out there on this nationally watched case, and he
(39:10):
will join us in just a few minutes. Now though
we are getting this into the DAN O'Donnell show a
letter sent to Mayor Cavalier Johnson, City Attorney Evan Guiki,
and the rest of the leftist running your city. Remember
this whole policy, the sanctuary city policy of Madison. They
(39:37):
don't want anything to do with Ice, and more so,
they want to make sure that the agents in Ice
are fully exposed to the creepy, violent, radical leftist out
there that would do them and have done them harm. Well.
This is the letter that was sent to the Mayor's
office today by Brad Schimmel, first Assistant United States Attorney
(40:02):
for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, and the Assistant Attorney
General for the Civil Division. It's a joint letter. It
says this, Dear Mayor Johnson and City Attorney Goik, we
write to seek assurances that neither your office, the Milwaukee
(40:23):
Police Department, nor any other entity in Milwaukee plans to
enforce Milwaukee Code of Ordinance Ordinances one oh five through
one pin forty, the mask ban against federal law enforcement officers.
The ordinance purports to ban the use of masks and
(40:46):
require federal officers to identify themselves in the performance of
their official duties, subject to narrow and vague exceptions. The
enforcement of such a law would be unconstitutional under the
supremacy clause. This is something I know Dan's talked about
for some time. I have been looking into among other
(41:11):
reporters who would like to present the other side of
the story, and quite frankly, the legal side of the story.
The enforcement of such a law, the letter goes on
to state, would be unconstitutional under the supremacy law, and
it cites the president the case. The United States Department
(41:32):
of Justice has sought injunctions against numerous substantively identical laws
across the country and so far has prevailed in each.
Read between the lines here, and this is all very professional.
(41:53):
This is my own editorial comment, but it is this.
The writing is the law on the raw of the wall,
you creeps. The law is on the side of the
federal government. Time and time again, courts, even leftist courts,
(42:17):
leftist activist judges who hate Donald Trump, who are absolutely
livid with Donald Trump and the Trump administration actually enforcing
federal immigration law. They understand that there is the rule
(42:37):
of law here and what these ordinances, this mask ban
definitely interferes with the federal government's right to conduct federal
government business. The problem, of course, over and over again
is we have these leftist enclaves, these sanctuary cities like
Milwaukee and Madison and so many others that re fuse
(43:01):
to help out federal law enforcement authorities when it comes
to removing extremely violent offender illegal immigrants from our streets.
We're going to talk more about that coming up in
a big win on that front against the idiot in Minnesota,
the governor, at least for now, Tim Walls. We'll see
(43:27):
if Tim Walls is the former governor in a jail
cell coming up in the not too distant future. The
letter goes on to state, as you know, the supremaci
the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution mandates that
this Constitution and the Laws of the United States shall
be the supreme law of the land. Anything in the
(43:47):
Constitution or laws of any state to the contrary, notwithstanding,
let me break that down for the mores in the
mayor's office who are providing him legal advice on this,
the supremacy Clause, and you're going to love this turn
(44:09):
of phrase, leftist, the supremacy clause trumps your little temper tantrum,
your little political temper tantrum. Okay, you will lose. And
so that is what this letter is in very direct terminology,
(44:33):
is the message that it is sending, don't do it.
You are in violation and curious to me, if I
might for a moment reflect on what happened in twenty
twenty four when you had the Colorado leftist led Supreme
Court that ended up trying to did ban then candidate
(44:57):
Donald Trump from the primary in Colorado. Maine tried to
do the same thing, and the US Supreme Court came
back nine to nothing and said, ah no, Now it's
a little different legally speaking on that front. But what
(45:21):
we have here from Milwaukee and all of these other
sanctuary cities trying to pull this same crap is one
might say, a bit insurrectionary, and that's exactly what they
were trying to push and did not get away with
it when they tried to ban Donald Trump, who had
(45:43):
been accused of bogus crimes but not convicted of bogus crimes.
But more than that, these states did not have the
ability to do that for myriad reasons. In this case,
once again, it is the US supremacy clause, and that
(46:11):
is extremely important and something of course that the leftist
with Donald Trump in power in the White House, don't
want anything to do with. But the Constitution is what
it is. The letter finishes up. The mask ban endangers
federal officers and undermines federal law enforcement operations. The consequences
(46:35):
are severe. Protesting the personal identities of federal officers and
their families is especially excuse me, let me take that back.
I don't have my readers on, and this is in
very fine print, and I am in need of my readers.
(46:55):
Protecting the personal identities of federal officers and their families
is especially critical, in part due to the increasingly common
threats of targeted harassment, tracking, interference, and assaults on federal
agents for simply doing their jobs. Just look at the numbers.
(47:16):
See how many hundreds and hundreds into the thousands now
of incidents where federal law enforcement officials had been attacked
by radical leftists and their pals in the illegal immigration
invasion industry. The identification of uniforms to prevent excuse me,
(47:41):
the modification of uniforms to prevent identification also prevents suspects
from identifying officers and taking preemptive actions to evade apprehension
or obstruct enforcement efforts. Are you listening in Former Judge
Hannah Dugan targets of law enforcement maintain online databases of
(48:03):
individual officers. Identities can also undermine undercover operations and plane
clothes missions. While uniform modifications are not a panacea, these
tactics can be essential to mitigating the aforementioned growing safety concerns.
(48:30):
Despite all of this, local officials have recently pressed the
Milwaukee Police Department to actively investigate and pursue federal officers
for violations. This includes Mayor Johnson, who has deplorably compared
the brave federal officers enforcing federal law to the Gestapo.
(48:52):
And there we are again to be clear, federal officers
comply with Milwaukee's unconstitutional ordinances and will continue to wear
masks and not use individual identities in their discretion. The
(49:15):
United States Department of Justice thus seeks your assurances that
this unconstitutional ordinance will not be enforced against federal officers
by no later than July seventeen, twenty twenty six. Again,
it is signed by the Assistant Attorney General for the
(49:36):
Civil Division US Department of Justice, and Brad Schimmel, first
Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
Let's put it all back together. What does it all mean?
It means screw yourself, Cavy and crew. You have no
authority here. You have no arresting power, you have no
(50:01):
charging powers. This is a federal matter, clearly in the
federal domain. You don't like it, well, tough testicles. We'll
take a quick break. Coming up next, some perspective. Great
coverage from breckin thievesover at the Federalists the Federalist dot
(50:24):
Com on the case of Tyler Robinson, the man accused
of assassinating Charlie Kirk. We'll get the latest on that front,
and we'll continue to follow this breaking news throughout the afternoon.
Matt Kittle in with you on this Friday edition of
the DANO. A letter freshly sent to the mayor's office
(50:46):
and his henchman, Evan Goiki, the city attorney, says, you
know your little policy about massed Immigration Enforcement office and
your big show of force, that you're going to bring
them into custody. You're not going to allow them to
(51:09):
do that in your city. Well, you've just been in
violation with this ordinance of the Federal Supremacy Clause. And furthermore,
we're not going to allow this to happen. To be clear,
federal officers will not comply with Milwaukee's unconstitutional ordinances and
(51:33):
will continue to wear masks and not use individual identities
in their discretion. The United States Department of Justice thus
seeks your assurances for this unconstitutional ordinance, that this unconstitutional
ordinance will not be enforced against federal officers by no
(51:54):
later than July seventeen, twenty twenty six. So let's see
if the radicals in the mayor's office plan to do
a little temper tantrum and see what they do. But
it's clear by this letter they are in violation of
the federal law. And it is clear by that last
segment that that was the first time in my radio
(52:16):
career that I ever turned the phrase tough testicles. I
think our program director, Jerry Bott would probably say conclude
that one and done or two and three is probably
the best way to approach it. Now, let's turn our
attention to a case that has been widely watched this week.
(52:40):
We had the week long preliminary hearing for Tyler Robinson,
the man accused of assassinating conservative icon Charlie Kirk. It
all wrapped up today, or at least this portion of it.
The Federalist brecon thieves has provided some of the best
coverage out there of this nationally watched case. He joins
us now in the day O'Donnell's show with Matt Kittle Breckon,
(53:01):
thank you so much for taking the time. I know
you're extremely busy.
Speaker 2 (53:05):
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (53:06):
I appreciate it absolutely. You have been writing, and you've
been covering and writing and writing and writing. You have
really I think as you look back at this week
and now we are at the you know, the weighing
section of this really for the judge coming up. But
(53:27):
what's what's the latest here? What's the process next? I
know that the Kirk family has asked this thing to
be expedited, but it looks like we're kind of in
a holding pattern for a while, aren't we.
Speaker 2 (53:40):
Yeah, we are in a lot of people, understandably, are
are pretty frustrated by that. I don't think that this
is big, Well, this isn't This is brilliant, and I
think everyone always need. This is going to take a
long time. I think a lot of people are mad
that it does. But for right now, you're right. The
(54:00):
hearings this portion ended today. The week long litany is
hearings all day every day, and then now we're waiting
until they meet again for the last day of preliminary hearings,
which is September first, where they're going to have four
more hours of argument and then the judge will decide
if they meet the probable cause threshold to go to trial.
(54:22):
After that point, the letter excuse me that you mentioned
from the Kirk family to expedite this is basically asking
that the problem costermination be made sooner rather than later.
But they say at the bottom basically on September one
is when it should be made. So they're not really
(54:44):
asking for it to be made any sooner than that.
And I think that that's just one of these one
of these tough process things in our in our justice
system that is extremely frustrating. People want this to go
to trial. They want to, you know, they want they
want to Charlie Kirk, they want to see Jeffer Dona,
Chief Tyler Robinson if he's an ecound guilty. And that's
(55:08):
sort of where we are right now.
Speaker 1 (55:12):
Breckin Thieve's excellent reporter from the Federalist. Find all of
his work at the Federalist dot com. You look at this,
I mean, you covered it, and you have to cover it,
looking at all sides of this, and you do a
very good job at this. But I'm looking at you know,
your coverage and others. I'm watching some of these videos.
The evidence, the just the mountain of evidence, and you
(55:35):
just you ask yourself, as an average American not tied
into the whole legal process here, why are they even
going through this rigamarole this guy? The evidence is pretty
clear this thing should be going to trial like tomorrow,
but clearly that is not the case.
Speaker 2 (55:56):
Yeah, and I think you're right. I mean, the evidence
is very overwhelming. I do think that the takeaway when
you watched it for eight hours of the day every
day this week, like I have versus kount of what
you see people say online. Now, I totally understand the
frustration and the criticism, but and you know, the judge
just Graf has received his fair share of criticism as
(56:18):
well for denawing motions from the Close family and not
allowing certain things to be seen in public and things
like that. I don't know the reasons for that, but
I can only speculate that Judge Graft is trying to
be very careful about how he conducts his role as
a magistrate in this case so that there is no
(56:43):
way that there's any mention of a possible mistrial or
whatever the version of that the preliminary hearings might be.
That's why he has tried to basically stay his hands
on a lot of things. He seems to me just
by watching him.
Speaker 5 (57:01):
Now.
Speaker 2 (57:01):
I know a lot of people will say that this
is chaotics, this is taking too long, he's getting a
necessary things. That may be true. I'm not a lawyer,
but from what I can tell just from viewing it,
it seems like he doesn't want there to be any
sort of inkling of potential impropriety. That's getting more weight
(57:21):
to the prosecution. But not just the prosecution, because remember,
the Kirk family is not technically represented by the prosecution.
This is a state case against Tyler Robinson. The victim
is obviously the Kirk family in Erica Kirk, but they
are not actually parties in this case. They have legal
(57:42):
rights in this case but they're not actually parties in it.
Speaker 1 (57:46):
Yeah, you raised some very good points, and if I'm
this judge, I feel that the exact same way. This
defense team clearly is looking for any misstep by the
prosecution and by the judge, and they have as the
course of this preliminary hearing has gone on, they have
offered some really head scratching objections, at least to my
(58:11):
way of thinking. But I can understand where this judge
wants to be extremely circumspect because A, you don't want
this to come back on your record. Be most important,
you want justice to be served, and see, you don't
want to waste the taxpayer, the taxpayer's time. That's not
good for anyone. Yesterday we had Tyler Robinson's paramour on
(58:37):
the stand. What was that like, because that's obviously a
seminal moment in a really twisted case.
Speaker 2 (58:49):
Yeah, I think that that was sort of you know,
for lack of metaturne. The moment everyone was waiting for
was was Lance Twigs, the allegedly transgender Although you look
at him yesterday you might not think he's transgender or
something like that. Boyfriend Robinson. He what played yesterday was
a admittedly heavily redacted by the way redacted by the
(59:12):
judge version of one of the interviews he did with
law enforcement. I can't remember if it's the first one
he did, in the second one he did earlier this year,
and he said some pre bombshell things like, for example,
I guess Robinson started asking about a dremal to he
(59:35):
kind of fantishly engraved messages on the bullets that he
used his gun, and he asked about the dremal about
a month before September tenth, day that he allegedly shot
Charlie Kirk. So that suggests that this is premedited for
at least a month prior to doing this. He also
said that the day after he shot Charlie Kirk, allegedly
(59:58):
on September eleventh, he was doing a lot of stuff
around the house. He's acting erratically. He was sort of,
you know, in his own world, pacing, and that would
be the knight. Later that night he would turn himself in.
I think probably the most crucial piece of evidence that
came out of that again redacted video, that redacted interview
(01:00:21):
is that he said that he recognized the Robinson on
the university footage that was shown to the judge saying
that he said he's not one hundred percent but on
some of the pictures, but on the pick critically of
the third Tom Robinson comes back to campus that day,
(01:00:42):
which is the time where he changed his clothes, he
has the limb, and that is when he allegedly takes
the shot and kills Charlie Kirk. He says that looks
a lot like him. He said, definitely, they definitely do
look like him as the quote. So that that is
probably the biggest Heason evidence that came out of the
of the Twigs interview. There were some other things that
(01:01:04):
were never entered in regarding Twigs with text messages and
with ant that was not subiled to be captured by media,
but it was accidentally and in those messages in that note,
it basically is Robinson admitting that he did it. In
one of the notes, I know he says that he
(01:01:24):
he regrets doing it, or maybe Twigs said that he
told him that he started crying something like that. But essentially,
when he takes what we were able to see from
Twiggs as a whole, Robinson admitted to doing this about
three or four times to.
Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
Twigs, Yeah, reckon these reporter from the Federalists covering the
Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing all week long. That phase of
it has come to an end, and now the waiting
game plays out over the next several weeks. I think
the most powerful, not the most but there are a
lot of powerful and uh, just intriguing parts of this case.
(01:02:08):
But the fact that you have Tyler Robinson's father, who
I mean, it's a it's a difficult position to be in.
I can't imagine as a father. I never want to
imagine as a father having to be in that position.
But he seems to have done the right thing and
(01:02:29):
and he is assisting that's still the case, correct, that.
Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
That seems to be the case, that is correct. Yeah,
he's in the courtroom, I understand it, every single day,
sitting behind his son, with his wife, Tyler Robinson's mother
as well. They're both there on the sort of like
you know, their side of the courtroom, as it were,
of the defense. And from from what I've heard from
(01:02:56):
people who are inside the court room, you know, knowing
of so maybe her obvious reasons really talks to one another,
interacts or anything. But I do think that people, uh,
for the Robinson's family, because I mean, you know, you
can't imagine having this happen as as the parents of
(01:03:16):
a of a child. You can't imagine being the parents
of that child having to make the decision to turn
your own child in and then sitting through this, you know,
to Robinson's Father's name comes up a couple of times
in testimony because his DNA is also found on the gun,
because this was I believe Tyler Robinson's Grandfather's gun was.
(01:03:39):
It was a family gun, and so, uh, you know,
his DNA is on the gun, his son's DNA is
on the gun. The grandfather's DNA I believe, is on
the gun as well. And you know, it's just sort
of it's gonna be a pretty harrowing experience. And you know,
I think that it's probably good that that everyone should
probably pray for the parents of I'm thinking there, I'm
(01:04:02):
having an easy time with us either.
Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
I agree with you. I just my heart breaks for them.
It sounds like I don't know the full story. It
sounds like their son was radicalized like so many other
kids out there, and we have just we have a
huge problem with radicalized mental illness in this country, and
(01:04:28):
this appears to be exactly that case. I just have
a moment left, but I did want to ask you,
I guess the case beyond this case. Questions about that
with so much evidence presented, and really we didn't see
all of the evidence obviously, do you think this will
quiet down? Has it quieted down some of the conspiracy theories,
(01:04:51):
some of the really crazy stuff that is out there
and so offensive to me people supposedly on the right,
packing the Kirk family and Erica Kirk.
Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
Yeah, I mean, it is obviously gotten out of hand
leading up to this moment. I think that this is
a pretty big someone. As you said, there there's more
evidence that isn't being shown, and there is more evidence
that you know, if this does get a trial, I
assume will be made public during trial too. So some
of this stuff that's been shut down in this process
we might see once it goes to trial. But you know,
(01:05:27):
I mean take the DNA evidence, for example, they have
Robinson's DNA all over the gun, all over the cartridges,
all over the drummle tool is to engrave the cartridges
on the towel that the gun was hidden in, on
the screwdriver that he it seems like he used to
put the gun together when he was on the roof.
(01:05:49):
I mean evidence suggest you know, they always say you
can't be out of it and certain ever with this
DNA science, but it is. I believe the number is
one trillion in times more likely to be Tyler Robinson
than any other person on Earth. And by the way,
I learned today that one trillion is the number that
(01:06:10):
they chose at the top. They don't go above one
trillion because Lunch's past that likelihood. It kind of doesn't
really comport or make any sense. You can't you can't
really visualize a op trillion or something like that. So
they just tap it at one trillion, and they said
then they could be higher than that. They just don't
(01:06:30):
even pass higher than that. So, I mean, the fact
that twigs I GiFi in pictures and the DNA evidents
is all over the place. You know, it's really kind
of falling apart from the conspiracy theorists too. Some of
them claim that he wasn't even there that day.
Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
It's just amazing, It's sickening and amazing. Yeah, I mean,
take a look at the DNA evidence, which of course
the defense is now trying to, you know, do the
OJ Simpson kind of thing. The in OJ Simpson's defense,
they're trying to reduce or diminish, you know, the efficacy
of DNA DNA testing. And we've seen this movie before.
(01:07:11):
But again, I'm not a math whiz, but there are
only what eight billion people in the world, so you
get up to a trillion. That's saying. This is the guy,
at least to me, Breckon Thieves just doing a great
job covering this. One of the best that I've seen
out there. You want to read his latest coverage now,
(01:07:31):
and he sums up everything. The headline from the Federalist
dot Com. Here's what you need to know about the
Charlie Kirk assassination trial, Day five. Brecon has always great work.
Thank you for joining us.
Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
You bet have a great weekend and get some rest.
I'll tell you this guy has been filing report after
report after report covering this thing for several hours every day.
Brecon Thieves from the Federalist. Can find his good work
at the Federalist dot Com. We'll take a quick break.
We have some more things to get to eventually, I
want to get to this. Hey, Joel Brennan, go vet yourself.
(01:08:11):
Perhaps we'll do that straight ahead on the Danold. The
lamest event of Wisconsin politics of the week, bar none.
It has to be nobody. Joel Brennan's release of his
own opposition research. That's right, Joel Brennan. In case you're
(01:08:34):
not familiar with that name, and if you're not, you
are among a vast majority of wisconsinights in that camp.
Joel Brennan, who used to serve in the Evers administration
and in Milwaukee governance stuff, released a press release this week.
(01:08:57):
Let's let's talk a little bit about it. This is
what the campaign writes as opposition research, dumps and political
attacks become fixtures of the final weeks of the twenty
twenty six Democratic primary. Joel Brennan today released his own
self research, his own self research file, and he offered
(01:09:20):
it up for viewing on his website. He said, I'll
tell you what. We got this problem in the Democrat Party,
this gram Platiner, you know, the Nazi tattoo guy, the
accused rapist, the sexter, the vile piece of sludge. I'm
gonna come right out here, Joel Brennan says. He says
(01:09:41):
I'm gonna make everything. I'm gonna pull all any skeleton
I have out of my closet. You're gonna be able
to view this right here, right now, and I'm gonna
put all of that research that I paid for, my opit,
that my campaign paid for, that my campaign did. I'm
(01:10:01):
gonna put it all out there. Anything possibly wrong with that, Well,
not only is that the stupidest thing I've there's so
many stupid things in politics, one of the stupidest things
I've ever heard of in politics, it is also again
one of the lamest. I don't know if he thought
(01:10:22):
this press release was really going to get to the
heart of that Democrat out there's really looking for an
honest guy in the Democrat Party, a guy who's willing
to do his own political opposition research to come to
conclusions like this the highlights of said research. Brennan once
(01:10:45):
faced eviction from a Milwaukee apartment. He stopped paying rent
due to substandard conditions and was unaware of his tenant
rights Like so many other Wisconsin residents, can't you just
relate we all been there, Yes, in our struggling days.
There we are, and we're living in a we're living
(01:11:08):
in a dump and we're not paying our rent. Now
we face a viction. You know, sure, sure that's a
that's a bruise on Brennan's record, but he's willing to
take it all out there. What a goofball.
Speaker 3 (01:11:28):
This is.
Speaker 1 (01:11:32):
This is another lame political tactic. It's oh, yes, I
wasn't able to pay my rent. I didn't pay my rent,
that's true. But I was dealing with slum lords and
I'm going to fight those slum lords as your next governor.
Brennan has been praised by the likes of Republicans Scott
Fitzgerald and Robin Voss, who also found opportunities to criticize
(01:11:55):
Brennan as well. You know, there's the stupidest thing I've seen.
He also helped Voss. He also helped push to land
the twenty twenty four Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Why
he will stand up to f you, Francesca and the
(01:12:18):
rest of the radicals and he will say, yes, sure,
I brought the twenty twenty four Republican Convention to Milwaukee. Yeah,
I did that. That's a sin, but I did it
for the betterment of this community. The money that flowed
into Milwaukee, in the state. This is just ridiculous. It
(01:12:39):
goes on and on like this. Can I get to
the bottom here? And what does it say? Yeah, because
Brennan has been criticized by the Milwaukee Teachers Union, though
he has also raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for
the Milwaukee public schools, there is nothing in this that
is damning at all. In fact, this is this is
(01:13:03):
a lame way to campaign. This is not opposition research.
I guarantee you there are some things in Joel Brennan's
past that he would rather not have out there, and
none of them is containing this stupid breast release all
but maybe this one down below. After all of this
(01:13:26):
melt toast nonsense, I see here, there we go. There's
finally we have one. One of his biggest one of
his biggest problems as a person, as a candidate for
governor is he works too hard and expects too much
(01:13:48):
of people around him. We've been following a lot of
different stories and talking a lot about a lot of
different issues all the way from Utah down to downtown Milwaukee.
In one of the big stories. Oh, by the way,
if you want to join us at any time, you
know how to do that, and maybe one of the
(01:14:09):
best ways to do so is by using the carpetland
US A flooring center. Talk and text Line broke this
story earlier today on the Dan O'Donnell Show. Just a
reminder on that front. The US Department of Justice Civil Division,
(01:14:30):
along with First Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern
District of Wisconsin, Brad Schimmel, sent a letter to Milwaukee
Cavalier Johnson and city Attorney Evan Goiki today basically saying,
you know your little temper tantrum mask policy that you
(01:14:51):
will not allow, or you think you will not allow,
ice agents other federal law enforcement officials dealing with I
immigration law enforcement. You won't allow them to wear masks
and be able to protect themselves from the radical nuts
(01:15:12):
that are out there that'll dox them and harass them
and threaten them. You don't have standing in this. Basically,
what the DOJ has said is the ordnance purports Milwaukee's
to ban the use of masks and require federal officers
to identify themselves in the performance of their official duties,
(01:15:34):
subject to narrow and vague exceptions. And you've heard all
of this bloviating by the leftist city Hall, basically saying, yeap,
we're not going to allow them to do that anymore.
The enforcement of such a law, the letter goes on
to say, would be unconstitutional under the supremacy Clause of
(01:15:58):
the US Constitution. That's right, the federal government has authority
in the enforcement of immigration laws in this country. That
is what the left continues to not forget. It's ignore.
We're going to talk a little bit more about that
coming up, and how there are certainly no consequences, it
(01:16:22):
seems for the left ignoring the law, not following the
rule of law, breaking the law repeatedly. But here we
are in this case where Kavi Johnson and the Milwaukee
City Council they're shaking their fist at the Department of
Homeland Security. Why that's not how we handle things in
(01:16:45):
our city doing so. These ordinances are a violation of
the supremacy clause, and the Department of Justice says, don't
test us on this. We have taken this to court
multiple times. We have won multiple times on this front.
The letter concludes by saying local officials have recently pressed
(01:17:09):
the Milwaukee Police Department to actively investigate and pursue federal
officers for violations of this unconstitutional ordinance. This includes Mayor Johnson,
who has deplorably compared our brave federal officers enforcing federal
(01:17:30):
law to the Gestapo. To be clear, because you have
to be clear with these folks, federal officers will not
comply with Milwaukee's unconstitutional ordinances and will continue to wear
masks and not use individual identifiers in their discretion. The
(01:17:54):
United States Department of Justice thus seeks your assurances that
this unconstitutional ordinance will not be enforced against federal offices
by no later than July seventeen, twenty twenty six. I
am sure it is only a matter of time. Perhaps
it's already out there. The follow up temper tantrum from
(01:18:15):
the mayor's office and from the city council, and the
recriminations and the fish shaking once again, why we're going
to arrest those thugs. We're going to arrest the Gestapo,
you know, the brave men and women who are enforcing
immigration laws in this state, in this country and removing
(01:18:38):
some of the most violent people from the streets and
out of this country. This is insane. It has been insane,
and the insanity is growing that we have as we
turn our attention to our idiots to the north and west,
(01:19:04):
the radical leftists who are running that state and running
the city of Minneapolis, the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
We live in a country now to put this all
in perspective where we have to have the State Department,
the US State Department, come in and tell Governor Tampon,
(01:19:32):
Tim Walls, the fraudster in chief, that if you go
about pardoning illegal aliens convicted of child rape, that won't
stand and the rapist will be deported. And then you
have Walls and the rest of the useful idiots also
(01:19:53):
in the accomplice media saying this is unfair. How could
you possibly deport a guy who a child. That's unconstitutional,
that's unjust. We need social justice for the child rapist.
(01:20:13):
No justice, no peace, Get a load of this. Fox
News Now reported this first today. An a legal alien
child rapist from Laos who is set for deportation until
Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walls and the state Board of
Pardons granted him clemency, has been removed from the United States.
(01:20:38):
Secretary of State Mario Rubio told Fox News Digital Today.
Rubio stepped in to terminate to leu Wang's legal status
in the United States and ensure that Walls's actions would
not create roadblocks for the Department of Homeland Security removing
him from the country. Why on earth would a governor
(01:21:03):
who is who took an oath to uphold the Constitution
and the laws of the land, Why on earth would
that governor put roadblocks in the way of getting rid
of of sending out of this country a guy who
raped a child. There is something so depraved and so
(01:21:24):
wrong with that. Again, I talked about I talked about
this repeatedly because it needs to be repeated over and
over again. This election, this midterm election is really not
about Republicans and Democrats anymore. It is about the sane
(01:21:45):
and the insane. Insane is pardoning a child rapist and
complaining that he is deported from this country so he
can't rape a child again. It doesn't make sense to
a reasonable mind. I don't know how it makes sense
(01:22:09):
to anybody unless there's a lot of insanity going on
out there. Just weeks ago, a foreign child rapist was
freed to once again endanger America's children after receiving a
pardon from Minnesota Governor Tim Walls, The Secretary of State
(01:22:29):
said to lou Vang admitted to committing heinous crimes against
a ten year old girl in Minnesota. He attempted to
pay his victim for her silence and dismissed his acts
of child abuse as a quote minor thing. Good lord, well,
he is right. It was a minor thing. He was
(01:22:51):
sexually assaulting, raping a minor, disgusting animals, and that's who
you're standing up for in this country. Just days before
he was scheduled to be deported, the Minnesota governor pardoned him,
setting him free to endanger American families. Once again, Rubio lamented,
(01:23:12):
not only is this the clemency board, saying, you know what,
this guy has served his time, He has repaid his
debt to society, and a just system would not keep
this man locked up. No, no, no, no, no, no.
As bad as that may be in the handling of
(01:23:35):
crime and punishment in Minnesota, this was by design. This
was so this guy couldn't be deported. He was scheduled
to be deported, and they said to this guy, hey,
quick run the US State Department, the Department of Homeland Security.
(01:24:00):
They're going to come back after you. Run Man Run,
which brings us to Hannah Dugan, the former and disgraced
Milwaukee County judge, will not serve a day in prison
(01:24:21):
despite being convicted of a felony in effectively aiding and
a betting a violent illegal immigrant escape federal law enforcement officials.
Mike Davis has a great column on this. I like
Mike's work. He has worked tirelessly on trying to get
(01:24:44):
accountability in a rotten to the core leftist led government.
It's just it's insanity, but he writes today. Disgraced former
Milwaukee judge Hannah Dugan resigned from the bench after getting
charged with obstruction of justice for distracting ice agents and
(01:25:07):
helping an illegal alien charged with domestic abuse and very
significant domestic abuse. I might add, not that there's any
good domestic abuse, but I mean this was a particularly
violent act. She helped him escape through a back door
to avoid arrest, A backdoor that is not available to
the public, A back door that hid this guy, this
(01:25:31):
illegal alien, from the federal law enforcement officials there to
legally arrest him. A federal jury found her guilty of
obstruction of justice, and she faced a recommended prison sentence
of fifteen to twenty one months in prison with a
sixty month maximum. Shamefully, former Democrat politician and Clinton appointed
(01:25:59):
judge Lynne Adelman gave her no time. I told you
this on the show. I'm not one of these guys
who likes to say I told you so, and then
I go about telling you I told you so. Yeah,
I know, de bags, I know, but I told you so.
(01:26:19):
I knew she was not going to get any prison time,
not from this judge, even though she was quickly and
easily indicted by a federal grand jury, even though the
evidence was clear and convincing. This is a leftist judge
(01:26:40):
with all kinds and I'm talking about Hannah Dugan here,
all kinds of radical ideas injected into her courtroom. We
had seen that over and over again. She comes from
a far left background. That's no surprise. In Milwaukee. Far
left judges win all the win election all the time.
(01:27:03):
But you better keep your leftist policies, especially your leftist
policies that break the law. When you are a judge,
you ought to be sending a message. You ought to
send a message. I know she wasn't. She didn't have
a criminal record, and that's important when you're a judge
(01:27:27):
not to have a criminal record. But what she did
was so egregious she needed to spend some time in
prison just to communicate to these other wacko leftist rogue judges,
you do this at your own peril, You do this
at your own loss of liberty. Davis continues to write
(01:27:52):
Dugan's content conduct and the woefully lenient sentence for it
defiles the judiciary and show that some people are indeed
above the law. In short, this isn't justice. Just as
Tim Walls releasing out into the street an animal who
(01:28:14):
raped a child and called it a minor thing. We
are in a battle, an absolute battle. We're fighting it
on the on the political field, but it's a battle.
It's a battle against sanity and insanity. Davis goes in
(01:28:39):
to talk about what happened, and we pretty much know
the details. This guy comes in, She's livid. All of
this is corroborated by multiple witnesses caught on camera. Dugan
ah in my courtroom. So she lets the guy go free.
And here's the here's the big problem that is not addressed,
(01:29:06):
not addressed certainly by the usual suspects in the accomplice media.
Not addressed by the leftist who jumped to her defense
and held little rallies candlelight vigils for this corrupt judge.
What isn't addressed is that she put the lives of
law enforcement officials in danger by her actions. This guy knew,
(01:29:32):
this illegal immigrant with a criminal record, knew that he
was facing deportation, He was facing being apprehended by federal
law enforcement officials. He was undoubtedly clearly desperate to do
(01:29:54):
whatever it took to get away from those law enforcement officials.
This thing could have been a real tragedy. Could have
been a tragedy for him in his desperation. It could
have been a tragedy for our law enforcement officials out
there trying to do their jobs, trying to enforce the laws.
(01:30:19):
None of that is entered into this because, as this
show has reported and others, what is disgusting particularly about
this is we have a federal judge seemed to be
playing by the book the whole time. He would not
entertain an appeal. He was pretty clear, Yeah, they got
(01:30:41):
her dead to rights, but you know what, she's well meaning, Jash.
She didn't follow the law, but to Hannah Duga, and
you know, it's her kindness got the better of her.
That sort of crap. But don't be surprised by any
of this, as I have and I know Dan and
(01:31:04):
others here have reported extensively. Lynn Adelman is a tool
of the left, a judicial tool. This is the same
guy who was disciplined by a judicial board for going
on a rant about Donald Trump, Republicans and Trump derangements.
(01:31:27):
And this guy shouldn't be on the bench either. But
he was in charge of letting Hannah Dugan go free.
That is not justice. Judge Adelman, formerly a Democrat politician
(01:31:49):
in Wisconsin, did not see it the way that reasonable
people saw it. Davis says. Dugan now walks free a
mere five thousand dollars lighter. That's her punishment. She was making,
(01:32:09):
what I'm trying to remember, somewhere in the vicinity of
one hundred and sixty thousand dollars a year. Correct me
if I'm wrong, but I believe she still gets a
federal pension. Your taxpayer dollars still going to Hannah Dugan.
Her fine was six thousand dollars after her flagrant violation
(01:32:29):
of her judicial oath and the law. Many nonviolent defendants
from January sixth, served far more time in custody. When
volunteering to lead this violent criminal illegal immigrant through the
side door, Dugan told her court reporter not to do it.
(01:32:50):
I'll do it. I'll get the heat, Dugan said per
trial testimony. That statement illustrates that Dugan knew full well
her conduct was unlawful. She was wrong. However, she did
not get much heat for it at all. Instead, thanks
(01:33:13):
to a fellow leftist judge, she received a slap on
the wrist and the third branch received a kick in
a gut. Disgusting your thoughts again, always welcome. You can
dial us up on the studio line, reach us in
the Carpetland USA Flooring Center Talk and text line will
(01:33:33):
be back in a bit. I have promised, and we
shall deliver. Coming up the problems with political consulting, Graham
Platner style. That's next on this Friday edition of The
Dan O'Donnell Show with your old radio amigo Matt Kittley,
(01:33:54):
we shift attention to the strategist. I don't know how
he can call himself a political strategist at this point.
As a matter of fact, in a broader sense, what
we have experienced over the last few weeks in two
big stories that have caught and kept America's attention. It's
(01:34:16):
the people of behind Graham Platner. And it's not just
this goofball strategist who clearly did not do a very
good job vetting Graham Platner. We're going to get to
that moment, but all of the people, all of the
politicians who made the perverse or took part in the
(01:34:37):
perverse calculus that said, Okay, we know this guy has
the Nazi tattoo. We know he's sexting women and they're
uncomfortable about this. They didn't ask for this. We know
there are all kinds of allegations of sexual impropriety. Now,
(01:34:58):
let's see, we are the party for women, right, yes,
but we're also the party that needs desperately to win
and we will trade every one of our principles to
do that. And gram Platner is our mule. He's our
drug mule. That's the calculation that they made until they
(01:35:22):
couldn't make it any longer. Gram Platner now has officially
exited the main Senate race. He is no longer the
candidate to go up against Rhino Susan Collins Susan Collins
has a pretty good shot to win this election. Democrats
(01:35:43):
had a pretty good shot to win this election. But
again they decided to roll the dice on this perverse calculus,
perverse political calculus. And so you have the politicians behind
this sort of thing. These are folks who probably shouldn't
be employed anymore, from the consultants to the strategist to
(01:36:05):
the campaign people who stood by their man. You know,
Mike Hill, Mike Hillary did with old pantsiless Bill back
in the day. You think I'm just gonna stand by
my man like Tammy Wynett. Yes, that was the answer.
Then that is the answer. Nearly forty forty years of
(01:36:33):
sexual misconduct later and all kinds of moral turpitude, she
has stood by her man. She is Tammy Wynette in
that song. But there's that story. And then there, of course,
is the story of Tyler Robinson, the guy who is
accused in Utah of assassinating Charlie Kirk. That story is
(01:36:56):
a story I think, as I've watched this preliminary hearing
unfold this week, that's a story of defense attorneys who
probably shouldn't be employed either, because they have done a
really poor job. In fact, they have done such a
(01:37:17):
poor job that they may cost Tyler Robinson his life
because capital punishment, I do believe, is on the table here.
And you know, they tried to get evidence removed and
they were successful in some degree, but they had nothing.
(01:37:37):
They really had nothing. They were ill prepared for this case. Again,
as we saw, there's a great deal of evidence, a
mountain of evidence against this guy. But this defense team
is not your OJ Simpson dream team here. There's no
Johnny Cochrane on this team. There's no Lee what was
(01:38:01):
his name, buck Lee Bailey, f Lee. I'm gonna get
in trouble if I keep saying f Lee Bailey. H
thank you. It is our excellent producer, Doug Russell, a
fella of a certain age like me, but of sharper mind.
I know all of these people, you know that populated
(01:38:24):
the O. J. Simpson trial, the whole case, the Mark
Furmans of the world, and Marcia Clark, good looking perm
marsha I sometimes I lose the names. Anyway, this is
not the dream team legal defense, and they proved it
this week. And so you have two groups of people
associated with two major stories that probably should some will,
(01:38:50):
but definitely they should lose their jobs, the Grand Platner
people surrounding him, pushing him on, main Democrats, and the
fence team for Tyler Robinson. Now, let's listen to a
little sound again. This is one of my favorite interviews
from the whole Graham Platiner Democrat crisis. Guy from the
(01:39:14):
The Wall Street Journal did an interview a few weeks
back when we started to learn more and more about
Graham Platiner. People came out of the woodwork to talk
about Graham Platner, and everybody in political circles and anyone
following the story said, why on earth did they not
know this? Did they know this and thought people would
(01:39:34):
be fooled or this stuff wouldn't anyway? The reporter from
the Wall Street Journal asked some very important questions of
I warn you now, one of the most annoying sounding
beata men you will ever hear. This puts it in perspective.
Here's that interview from the Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 6 (01:39:53):
Point you hadn't vetted Graham Platner, You hadn't done a
full scrub of who he is. Did you go about
vetting him?
Speaker 4 (01:40:01):
We've paid a We've paid a nice firm, a whole
chunk of money and got some stuff back, some of
what you've seen on the news. We got back to
other stuff we didn't.
Speaker 6 (01:40:13):
Did the vetting process turn up the tattoo that became
so controversial, No, the reddit posts? Did that turn up
in the vetting process?
Speaker 1 (01:40:25):
Just thinking, thinking hard.
Speaker 4 (01:40:29):
The firm sent us a thing and it had some
of the h but it didn't have all of them.
Speaker 1 (01:40:37):
And what did you think about it all? How did you?
Speaker 6 (01:40:40):
How did you think your way through the fact that
he had posted these things on social media?
Speaker 4 (01:40:46):
I said, none of this well or should stop him
from becoming a US senator?
Speaker 1 (01:40:51):
And there, oh see, not only did the strategist and
the consultants fail epically. This is caught on video forever.
Can you imagine these folks turning in their resume for
(01:41:15):
a strategy gig or a political consulting gig. This this
was a big one.
Speaker 4 (01:41:24):
I think if what the voters wanted were people who
were grown in bats and had never done or said
anything that they might regret their entire lives, we'd have
a very different country. Part of our thesis here is
that people do not want their candidates grown in that's
they want people who are real human beings, and they
want people who do not look and sound like the vackground, people.
Speaker 1 (01:41:47):
Who Okay, this is a guy who should never ever
speak again. Get thee to a monastery where they take
vows of silence, because if I if I had to
listen to this guy's voice for any length of time,
I'm telling you I was just I was personally offended
(01:42:09):
by this wimpy voice where one of these millennial kids
that likes to raise their voice in a question at
the end of every sentence. We didn't want someone raised,
did a lab No one wants someone in a lab.
(01:42:36):
I just I think the guy put his pair in
someone's pocket and hasn't seen in a long time. Anyway,
he had one job. The consultants had one job. And
the fact that now this again, this is what three
weeks ago, so we have learned a great deal more
(01:42:56):
about Graham Platner since then. But they had one job
to do, and that was to vet, to go through
and find any issue out there that could be a problem.
And it seems to me that there are so many
issues with Graham Platner that if they missed a few
here or there, you know, it happens. They just really
(01:43:22):
didn't care about the job and the defense that, yeah,
we wanted a real guy. We wanted someone, you know,
who has his scars and scratches and bruises out there.
You know, we're running this military veteran, which is a
good strategy. It has been for some time. But we're
(01:43:44):
running this military veteran, and we're going to say it's
all military veteran. And he's going to say affordability, affordability,
and I hate Trump and defund ice. He's going to
say all of the right, radical leftist things, and Liz
Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas is going to have a fever dream
(01:44:10):
about this guy. And Bernie Sanders is going to swear
on a stack of communist manifestos, this is our man
if I'm running the Democrat Party. These people do not
have jobs and will never have jobs. But this is
your Democrat Party. And as a conservative, I'm glad that
(01:44:32):
it is this incompetent and woeful. But there are some
people on the left who are ticked at the granddaddy
of the radical left in America. I would say the
great granddaddy or great great granddaddy, the old and feeble
minded Bernie Sanders According to The Washington Examiner, Senator Bernie
(01:44:58):
Sanders is in the high for his previous support of
Democratic Senate nominee for Maine, Graham Platner, with some Democrats
arguing the Vermont Independent helped elevate a deeply flawed candidate
in a must win race. Criticism mounted this week as
party voices ding Sanders judgment and the broader influence of
(01:45:20):
the liberal wing in candidate recruitment, following the publication of
sexual assault allegations against the main Progressive that led to
him suspending his campaign on Wednesday, and then just moments
ago or within the last couple of hours, ending it altogether.
Bernie Sanders stood by this guy. The power players in
(01:45:44):
the leftist movement in America and the leftist radicals that
have taken over the Democratic Party and will never give
it back. They stood behind this guy over and over again,
even as the evidence mounted. Finally it got too much
(01:46:08):
and Graham Platner collapsed on them. Bernie Sanders response, Oli arks,
Oli arks, We gotta get them, ol the arks. We'll
be back in a flash. Finishing out with this question
for you, would you buy This interesting item came up
(01:46:33):
on the online auction block recently. We'll share that straight
ahead on the Friday edition of the Dan O'donnald Show
with your old Radiomego matt Our. Excellent producer Doug Russell
has been tracking all of it for us and helping
us stay on the air, which is it's a pretty
important thing. Let me ask you this, would you buy
(01:46:55):
this an interesting new ad, I should say, an auction
block ad. Now see, I'm not much of an auction guy.
I know people like the eBay thing. This is Golden
gold n I was not familiar with this, but this
popped up. I think this is recent. A friend of
(01:47:18):
mine with a demented sense of humor clearly sent this
to me on the list. Oh this was oh okay,
I see yeah. This was in the last year. On
the auction block list was OJ Simpson personally owned golf
club set twelve fine clubs in a Nicholas Golf Nicholas
(01:47:41):
Golf bag too. Wow. It was going for projected or
hoped for at about twenty seven hundred dollars. The winning
bid came in at twenty two hundred. So there was
indeed a thirst for OJ Simpson's old golf clubs in
(01:48:02):
a Jack Nicholas golf bag, Doug Russell, you play some golf,
do you not? I do poorly? I do too, and
I am not welcome. I am not welcome in a
number of golf courses clubhouses around the country. Would you
have any interest at all in purchasing and then would
(01:48:25):
you use an OJ Simpson owned golf club set? You know,
normally I would say I would do it just for
the flex of it being something that I could talk
to the rest of my fours him about. But it's
OJ Simpson and he murdered two people, so probably not. Yeah,
That's where I am on this. I don't want to
own anything O. J. Simpson I was talking to I
(01:48:47):
was doing another radio show this morning. I was talking
to the producer there, and he said, oh yeah. He
was kind of, you know, shuffling his feet about it,
lamenting the fact that his dad, you know, who would
be like I would imagine like around our age, old
coop like us. Well, me, you're not an old coop.
