1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: A day later, it is still rather unbelievable that the

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: hostages are home, the fragile peace appears to be holding,

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: and President Trump is being hailed as the President of Peace.

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Dan O'Donnells Show.

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: Coming up later in the program, we will explore the

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: Trump Doctrine, expanding on our discussion yesterday regarding capitalism and

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: its propensity for not just bettering the lives of all people,

8
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: but promoting the idea of global peace and cooperation in

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: a way that the utopian idealists on the socialist left

10
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: could never possibly imagine. Coming up, just a couple of

11
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: minutes from now, at the White House, President Trump is

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: going to posthumously award the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: nation's highest civilian honor, to the late Charlie Kirk, on

14
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: what would have been his thirty second birthday. He is

15
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: going to welcome Kirk's widow, Erica, to the Oval Office,

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: where he is going to present her with the medal

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: in Charlie's honor. We will be taking at least a

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: portion of that ceremony live here on the Dan O'Donnell Show,

19
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: as we unfortunately have to continue talking about just how

20
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: violent and deranged and consumed with assassination fantasies Democrats are

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: across the country. But in a couple of rather disturbing

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: stories here in Wisconsin at the Oshkosh Farmers Market and

23
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: a deranged leftist pledging to assault and kill ice agents

24
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: who got himself arrested in Kenosha. Before we get into

25
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: the program proper, we give you a chance to win

26

Speaker 1: in the four o'clock hour, yes yesterday. His name is

00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: not in front of me right now, we'll get that

30
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,360

55
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: of course, Charlie Kirk's thirty second birthday. He was cut

56
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: down by an assassin's bullet a little more than a

57
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: month ago on September tenth, while speaking at Utah Valley University,

58
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: and in just a couple of minutes, President Trump is

59
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: going to award him with the nation's highest civilian honor,

60
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: the Presidential Medal of Freedom. There is precedent to this.

61
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: President Trump, of course, just a couple of days after

62
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh announced that he had stage four lung cancer

63
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: that would eventually take his life, President Trump actually used

64
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: his State of the Union address to put the metal

65
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: around Rush's neck. It was still to this day one

66
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: of the most memorable electric moments of the first Trump presidency.

67
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: This is likely to be a much more somber affair.

68
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: And this actually kind of got me thinking, arguably the

69
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: most prominent conservative figure in the United States outside of

70
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: government easily, I think the most prominent conservative commentator. I

71
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: would think it's Charlie Kirk. Clay and Buck certainly are

72
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: up there, Sean Hannity, Tucker, Carlson, Ben Shapiro in terms

73
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: of national conservative figures, though most of the rest simply

74
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: focus on their shows or their podcast their websites. In

75
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: Shapiro's case, kirks organization Turning Point, which has seen a massive,

76
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 1: massive amount of interest since his assassination, actually did something

77
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: that a whole lot of other conservatives have tried to

78
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: do forever but couldn't, and that's to get on high

79
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: school and college campuses. Now we have been inundated with

80
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: stories here at the Dan O'Donnell Show about the difficulty

81
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: of getting Turning Point chapters started, including one at a

82
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: charter school that's affiliated with Hillsdale University whose principal actually

83
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: happens to be the wife of alleged conservative Justice Brian

84
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: Hagadorn of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. We saw issues at

85
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: Concordia University and MSOE, the Milwaukee School of Engineering, with

86
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: schools just not allowing Turning Point chapters to be formed

87
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: on their campuses or slow walking them, attempting to stop them,

88
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: attempting to at least halt them, at least attempting to

89
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: dissuade organizers from starting a chapter. But the Lake Country

90
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: Classical Academy in econom Walk was the most head scratching

91
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: denial at a ball the school initially decided to reject

92
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: a Turning Point club because, as its principal said, the principal,

93
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: who of course happens to be married to alleged conservative

94
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: Brian hagador Now, you can't. Just as you can't convict

95
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: someone for the sins of their father, you cannot convict

96
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: someone for the sins of their wife. But in case

97
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: you're wondering why I call Brian Hagadorn alleged conservative Brian Hagadorn,

98
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: this would be a pretty solid reason why Lake Country

99
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: Classical is an express, if not conservative, but a traditional

100
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: form of education whose mission and values certainly align with

101
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: Turning Point. In a letter from the principle, though, she

102
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: said that because Turning Point is an overtly political organization,

103
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: after discussion quote, we have concluded that our current policy

104
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: warrants further review to enhance clarity. The review and approval

105
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: process to the extent needed will take some time to complete. Again,

106
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 1: slow Walking a Turning Point chapter. No real surprise there,

107
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: But the surprise is that this isn't some standard issue

108
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: liberal administrator. This is someone who happens to preside over

109
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: a school whose honorary president of the board or chairman

110
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: of the board just happens to be Young America's Foundation

111
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: president and former Wisconsin governors Scott Walker. As you could imagine,

112
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: he took issue with this, and I'm told, as much

113
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: as Scott Walker can raise Holy Hell behind the scenes,

114
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: he's a very polite man. He raised hell behind the scenes,

115
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: and now tomorrow night, the school's board is going to

116
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: discuss the creation of a Turning Point chapter, even though

117
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: it is I guess political in nature. But here's the thing,

118
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: and this again, I don't want to convict somebody based

119
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: on the sins of her husband, But missus Hagadorn falls

120
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: into the exact same trap that her husband does, it seems,

121
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: and that's just presuming herself to be the smartest person

122
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: in the room while actually knowing very little about anything.

123
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 2: She says.

124
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: Turning Point is an expressly political organization that it is

125
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: fundamentally out of line with the academy's mission of just

126
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: turning out you know, classically educated students.

127
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: Right. Turning Point USA.

128
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: Is actually registered as a five h one C three organization.

129
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: Do you know what you cannot do as a five

130
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: oh one C three organization be explicitly political, meaning you

131
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: are not allowed to expressly advocate for the election or

132
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: defeat of any person, or any ballot initiative or anything

133
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: like that. Oh sure, you can engage in political activity

134
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: advocating for issues and ideas and forcefully defending them as

135
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: you wish, but you can't do any express political activity.

136
00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: Turning Point Action does do some of the actual work

137
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: of the.

138
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: Political nature. So there's a five oh one C three

139
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: and a five oh one C four, And I don't

140
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: want to bore you with elements of the tax code,

141
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: but suffice it to say, Turning Point cannot be an

142
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: expressly political organization. It cannot do political activity that would

143
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: put it out of whack with the values of Lake

144
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: Country Classical Academy. So it seems as though Lake Country

145
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: is going to cave to not political pressure or public pressure,

146
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: but simply common sense. And frankly, if any number of

147
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: student organizations and clubs that promote left wing politics are

148
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: allowed on campus, then there's no good reason that Turning

149
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: Point should not. But one thing that struck me in

150
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: the month the change since Charlie K's assassination is just

151
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: how quickly it seems the world has wanted to move

152
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: on from it. I think the reason for that is

153
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: painfully obvious, especially when the entirety of the mainstream left

154
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: wing national press shifted its focus on a dime within

155
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: a couple of days of Charlie's murder to the supposed

156
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: real free speech martyr Jimmy Kimmel. No I wish I

157
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: was kidding on this Jimmy Kimmel, who told a verifiable

158
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: untruth about Charlie's assassin, that he was a MAGA actor.

159
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: He said, Magas spent all weekend trying to convince you

160
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: that the killer wasn't one of them. Well, it was

161
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: rather obvious from the very beginning, and it was repeated

162
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: over and over and over by Spencer Cox, the governor

163
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: of Utah, by the district attorney, the prosecuting attorney in

164
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: this case, that the evidence, all of the available evidence,

165
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: suggested that the assassin was a left winger and he

166
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: was motivated by left wing politics because he said Charlie

167
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: was just so horrible, so awful, that he had no

168
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: choice but to kill him, and he killed him with

169
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: a shot through the neck while Charlie was engaging in

170
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: the most elemental form of protected free speech debate on

171
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: a college campus. Now, these are the same liberals who

172
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: say that academic freedom and the free exchange and debate

173
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: of ideas is sacro sanct on campus, and that's the

174
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: whole reason that we need to have college is to

175
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:46,359
Speaker 1: explain and to expose rather young minds to new ideas

176
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: and new concepts that they might not have experienced before.

177
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: But of course we have to ban Turning Point USA

178
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: from campus because we wouldn't want them exposed to those ideas.

179
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: I believe that liberals realized just what a and I

180
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: don't mean this as a pun, what a turning point

181
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: Charlie's assassination was for this country. As much as you

182
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: or I or anyone over the age of forty understands

183
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: the power of what it was that Charlie Kirk did.

184
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: Everyone under forty, and especially everyone under thirty this was

185
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: their JFK assassination. And in truth, we haven't seen a

186
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: political assassination like this in this country, probably since Bobby

187
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior. I'm struggling to think of a figure who

188
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: was assassinating. We had the attempted assassination of Trump obviously

189
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: just a year ago, we had the attempted assassination of

190
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan of gerald Ford, but the assassination of a

191
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: political figure of this magnitude hasn't happened in fifty some years.

192
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: This was the culmination of a summer of left wing

193
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: violence targeted towards conservatives and people who they believe are

194
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: aligned with them, i e. Ice agents who they frequently

195
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: malign as being president Trump's shock troops or Gestapo. They

196
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: moved on from that almost instantly. They tried to change

197
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: the subject into well, the real threat to this country

198
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: is not the assassin's veto stifling free speech, but rather

199
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: the fascistic president, the would be king, who wants to

200
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: stifle all dissent. And poor Jimmy Kimmel got suspended from

201
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: his TV show for about four days and was back

202
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: on the air the following Monday.

203
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: He was the real victim here.

204
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: There has been a deliberate att empt to try to

205
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: memory hole one of the most memorable, awful, traumatic events

206
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: in recent political history, possibly in the last decade or so,

207
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: specifically because of the impact that it's had on people. One,

208
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: It's exposed just how violent and dangerous far too many

209
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: members of the politically radicalized left really are. Two, it

210
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: exposed just how ghoulish the members of the politically radicalized

211
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: left are who would never hurt a fly, but will

212
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: take to social media and celebrate someone's death provided that

213
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: they disagree with them in any material way. And three,

214
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: it made people aware, just like when President Trump won

215
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: the election last November, that there are way more conservatives,

216
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: way more Republicans, way more people who share the same

217
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: values out there than anyone could comprehend. And four, this

218
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: opened people's eyes to all three of those things at

219
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: once and potentially created an entirely new, even more forceful,

220
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: even more passionate, even more active generation of conservatives. The

221
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: event for Charlie Kirk appears to be running a bit late.

222
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: We're going to step aside for a break. Hopefully it

223
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: is going to be starting soon. We will take at

224
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: least a portion of it here on the Dan O'Donnell Show.

225
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, we're back in just three minutes. Battle of

226
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: Freedom posthumously to Charlie Kirk, who was struck down by

227
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: an assassin just a little over a month ago in

228
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: one of the most shocking, horrific political assassinations in American history.

229
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: And it's it's just remarkable. We have a viewer on

230
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: YouTube who said the real radicalizing thing for a whole

231
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: lot of people was not necessarily the assassination itself, because,

232
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: all right, someone who's crazy, regardless of political persuasion, is

233
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: potentially going to do something crazy. This sort of thing happens.

234
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: There are school shootings, there are senseless homicides, there are

235
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: crimes that just reveal people with blackhearts. When you have

236
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people very publicly celebrating the death

237
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: of a thirty one year old husband and father who

238
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: did nothing except try to convince college kids that his

239
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: point of view was better, that's radicalizing because now this

240
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: is nothing new to you or I. When Rush Limbaugh,

241
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: for example, passed away, Democrats spent days celebrating and toasting

242
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: to how glad they were. When antonin Scalia passed away.

243
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: I shudder to think when President Trump passes away, hopefully

244
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: in many, many years, the celebrations that it is this

245
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: glorification and celebration of death that shocked so many people.

246
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: How much do Democrats celebrate death?

247
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: Well?

248
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: In Osh Gosh, the official Winnebago County Democrat Party booth

249
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: was handing out bracelets to children that said is he

250
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: dead yet? A clear reference to Trump and wish that

251
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: Trump would die. Now, as shocking as this story is,

252
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: what's even more shocking is a news outlet that isn't

253
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell show or another conservative talk show or

254
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: blog actually picked up on it. Here's Fox eleven TV.

255
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 3: It's literally wishing daf on somebody, which isn't appropriate in

256
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 3: any scenario.

257
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 4: Katie Nubauer says she and her family were enjoying their

258
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 4: Saturday morning at the Oshkosh Farmers Market this past weekend,

259
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 4: but things took a turn. She says, when her eight

260
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 4: year old child was handed a bracelet from a member

261
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 4: of the Winnebago County Democratic Parties booth.

262
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 3: The guy behind the tent table said, hey, give this

263
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 3: to your mom. She's going to really want this. And

264
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 3: one of the children comes running up, gives us the

265
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 3: bracelet and we're looking at it and it literally says

266
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 3: is he dead yet? On the bracelet.

267
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 4: Neubauer and the Republican Party of Winnebago County assumed this

268
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 4: was a hate speech reference to President Donald Trump. Fox

269
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 4: eleven was unable to get a photo of the bracelets.

270
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 4: We've been working to get questions answered by the county

271
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 4: Democratic Party. The Winnebago County Democratic Party's office is locked

272
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 4: and a sign says that it's closed for Columbus Day.

273
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 4: I also called them, but they said everyone is on

274
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 4: vacation and no one can do an interview.

275
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: That is just such classic Democrat, is it not. Yeah,

276
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: everybody's on vacation. Phones just sort of stopped working man,

277
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a three day weekend.

278
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? Also, it appears.

279
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: The Winnebago County Democrat Party did not get the memo.

280
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: It is no longer Columbus Day. Columbus Day does not

281
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: exist in Wisconsin. It is only Indigenous People's Day. So

282
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: the state Democratic Party was apparently not taking the day

283
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: off and did have working phones, and got back to

284
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: this reporter and said, look, the volunteer who happened to

285
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: show up, he brought these bracelets and this clearly does

286
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: not reflect our values. So he brought his own bracelets

287
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: to hand out to children, and nobody else who is

288
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: manning the booth at the Oshkosh Farmers Market thought that

289
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: this was maybe inappropriate at all. Well, a whole lot

290
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: of people did. They received ten complaints or so. But

291
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: here's the kicker. And this is what we mean when

292
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: we say Democrat privilege, that you can just do anything

293
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: you want and not ever have to pay any serious

294
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: price for it or face any serious consequences for your actions,

295
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: no matter how horrible they may be. The Oshkosh Farmer's

296
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: Market is allowing them to come back.

297
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 4: The Oshkosh Farmer's Market tells Fox eleven it received about

298
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 4: ten complaints from customers about the bracelets. Market manager Michelle

299
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 4: schmid Schultz also confirmed it was the Winnebago County Democratic

300
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 4: Party's booth handing out the materials. She says, while the

301
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 4: market respects everyone's freedom of speech, hate speech is not permitted.

302
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 5: We do have a vendor code of conduct and rules

303
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 5: and regulations on how items are to be handed out

304
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 5: at the Farmer's Market, and they did break market rules.

305
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 4: She says. The Winnebago County Democratic Party has been talked

306
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 4: to about the brain Despite breaking code of conduct, the

307
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 4: organization will be allowed to set up for future markets.

308
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: Why they broke the code of conduct, they don't get

309
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: suspended for a week, They.

310
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: Don't get kicked out.

311
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: There's no consequence to handing out a bracelet to a

312
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: child saying Hey, show your mom Your mommy's really gonna

313
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: like this?

314
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 2: What that? First of all, that's weird.

315
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: Second of all, if i'm the Oshkosh Police Department, I'm

316
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: keeping a close eye on whoever that Democrat Party volunteer

317
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: was that was so gleefully handing a horrific message to

318
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: an eight year old child saying, show your Mom, But

319
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: how is this in any way appropriate. It's because the

320
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: Oshkosh farmer's market doesn't think that this was all that

321
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: serious of a breach of etiquette, that wishing Donald Trump dead.

322
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: And this is not something that's just limited to the

323
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: fringes of some random Oshkosh Republican or Oshkosh Democrat Party

324
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: Winnebago County Democrat Party volunteer. You might remember, the party's

325
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: last vice presidential nominee, The governor of Minnesota, told the

326
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: crowd just about three weeks ago that he would wake

327
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: up every single morning, remember when the narrative was And

328
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: this is also really weird. When President Trump right before

329
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend sort of had a light schedule, as

330
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: pretty much everybody in the country does the week before

331
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: Labor Day weekend, unless, of course, you've got to get

332
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: a whole ton of work done before the long weekend.

333
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: Trump was taking it easy, didn't have a whole ton

334
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: of public events. The man works about fifteen hour days,

335
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: it seems. It seems he's always moving. He took a

336
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: week off. Okay, Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota, actually

337
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: got a he said, hey to see you last week

338
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: when we woke up.

339
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 2: We thought, my goodness, was he dead?

340
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: I woke up every morning and immediately hopped on social media.

341
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 2: Is this the day he's finally dead?

342
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: Well, one day it's gonna come, the implication being we

343
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: would all be super happy when that day comes that

344
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: Trump is dead.

345
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: The Democrat Party is something of a death.

346
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: Cult right now. As if that wasn't enough, truly deranged

347
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: behavior from someone in Kenosha, not just celebrating death, but

348
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: actually apparently making open threats to ICE agents. We will

349
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: bring you that story. If the Charlie Kirk ceremony has

350
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: not yet started, Dan O'Donnell show coming back Erica Kirk

351
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: right now, I was wrong. The ceremony is much bigger

352
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: than the Oval Office. Obviously a lot of people gathered

353
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: outside the White House. We have a couple of updates

354
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: on the Oshkosh Farmer's Market story, as well as on

355
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: the Lake Country Classical Academy, denying turning point Ussa's request

356
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: for a chapter to start there in just a second,

357
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: but let's go now to just outside the White House

358
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 1: as President Trump is speaking to honor Charlie Kirk on

359
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: what would have been his thirty second birthday, with the

360
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: posthumous awarding of the Presidential Medal of Freedom was.

361
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 6: Supposed to be a terrible rainy day. I was telling Eric,

362
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 6: and God was watching, and he didn't want that for Charlie.

363
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 6: He just didn't want that. So that's really beautiful. Couldn't

364
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 6: be more beautiful. Today we're here to honor and remember

365
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 6: a fearless warrior for liberty, beloved leader who galvanized the

366
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 6: next generation like nobody I've ever seen before, American patriot

367
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 6: of the deepest conviction, the finest quality, and the highest caliber,

368
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 6: the late great Charlie Kirk. Five weeks ago, our nation

369
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 6: was robbed of this extraordinary champion who was a champion

370
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 6: in every way.

371
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 7: I got to know him so well.

372
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 6: He didn't like losing, and he was able to fight

373
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 6: people that were enemies, and he didn't necessarily love those

374
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 6: enemies so much. And I heard he loved his enemies,

375
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 6: and I said, wait a minute, is that the same

376
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 6: Charlie that I know?

377
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 7: I'm not sure, but I didn't want to get into it.

378
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 6: But it was a horrible, heinous, demonic act of murder.

379
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 6: He was assassinated in the prime of his life for

380
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 6: boldly speaking the truth, for living his faith and relentlessly

381
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 6: fighting for a better and strong America. Loved this country

382
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 6: and that's why this afternoon, it's my privilege to posthumously

383
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 6: award Charles James Kirk R nation's highest civilian honor, the

384
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 6: Presidential Medal of Freedom.

385
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 7: Thank you.

386
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 6: As you know, only hours ago, I returned from a

387
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 6: very historic trip to secure peace in the Middle East.

388
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 6: People said that couldn't be done. Charlie feltic could be done.

389
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 6: Charlie feltic could be done. Thank you, thank you, thank

390
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 6: you very much. But I raced back halfway around at

391
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 6: the Globe. I was gonna call Eric and say, Erica,

392
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 6: could you maybe move it to Friday? And I didn't

393
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 6: have the courage to call. But you know why I

394
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 6: didn't call because I heard today it was Charlie's birthday.

395
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 6: And I said, you know, now, that was a definite,

396
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 6: and I said, we're going to have to forget about

397
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 6: some of those very big, very rich countries that expected

398
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 6: me to be there.

399
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 7: And I can tell you based on the length of

400
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 7: that flight, I wouldn't want to go back tomorrow.

401
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 6: But I would not have missed this moment for anything

402
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 6: in the world, nothing, And it's a very important time

403
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 6: for our country, and our country is doing so well.

404
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 7: It's never done better.

405
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 6: We are a country with almost now eighteen trillion dollars

406
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 6: of investment coming in. Nobody's ever seen anything like that.

407
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 6: Previous administration at less than a trillion for four years,

408
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 6: we have more than eighteen. It will be much more

409
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 6: than twenty by the time the year more than twenty

410
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 6: trillion dollars. Has never been a country in the world

411
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 6: that had anything like that. What's happened to our country

412
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 6: is incredible in a short period of time. Charlie was

413
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 6: a big person for or Sir, could we close up

414
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 6: those borders please a little bit? You know, they're really

415
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 6: leaking badly, I said, Charlie, I haven't gotten there yet,

416
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 6: but you.

417
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 7: Know it came out last four months.

418
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 6: Literally nobody was allowed into our country and the only

419
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 6: people that were allowed in were people that came in legally.

420
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 6: The borders are absolutely stone cold closed and they.

421
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 7: Reported zero zero, zero and zero, so that's pretty good.

422
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 6: But he was a big believer. He wanted people in

423
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 6: the country more than I did. Frankly, he wanted them

424
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 6: to come in legally, and he got his wish. October

425
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 6: fourteenth is Charlie's birthday, and he should have been turning

426
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 6: thirty two years all that day. I never When I

427
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 6: first met him, he was like twenty two, and I said, boy,

428
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 6: he's awfully young. But I thought he was older than that.

429
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 6: You know, he looked a little bit older.

430
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 7: Than his age. That's okay.

431
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 6: You know, that's not good when you're old, but when

432
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 6: you're young, it's great. He had the best of all things,

433
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 6: but he was special. But instead, Charlie is attaining a

434
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 6: far more important milestone. We're entering his name forever into

435
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 6: the eternal roster of true American heroes. He's a true

436
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 6: American hero, an amazing person, way way beyond his years.

437
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 6: And I'm honored to be joined by a woman who

438
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 6: has endured unspeakable hardship with unbelievable strength. And that's Charlie's widow, Erica.

439
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 6: And I just want to thank you, Erica. He loved

440
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 6: you so much. I was with him, listen, thank you,

441
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 6: darn thank you. I was with him before I met Erica,

442
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 6: and he told me he was going to get married.

443
00:30:54,480 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 6: He said, you won't believe how beautiful she is. I said,

444
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 6: well then, now that I mean, he's right, But then

445
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 6: he also said, and you know what, she's like, the

446
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 6: smartest person I know. See they do go together on occasion,

447
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 6: not often, not often, but on occasion they go together.

448
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 6: But he was in love with you. He was deeply

449
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 6: in love with you. It's great Erica. You love and

450
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 6: courage have been an inspiration to all of us. And

451
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 6: we will always be here for you, and we're always

452
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 6: going to be here for your gorgeous, beautiful children, and

453
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 6: we'll never forget what your family has sacrificed for our country.

454
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 6: Man loved our country. When things were going badly for

455
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 6: our country, he was so as you know, angry. We

456
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 6: get angry because he said, it doesn't have to be

457
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 6: that way.

458
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 7: We're also pleased.

459
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 6: To be joined by an incredible group of Charlie's friends,

460
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 6: very powerful friends actually, and some not so powerful. And

461
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 6: there actually better people. Okay, I know, well the less

462
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 6: powerful ones. I have to tell you that, all of

463
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 6: you power guys down here, the best ones in the

464
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 6: group are the ones that are less successful. But that

465
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 6: happens too. Now they're all great and they're here. And

466
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 6: let's start with Erica's father. Where is Erica's father? Where

467
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,120

00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,040

00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 7: I like that. How are you?

470
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 6: Nice to see you again? Thanks as well to Vice

Speaker 7: Did a great.

Speaker 6: Job on Sunday with George Slapadopolis put him away pretty good.

Speaker 6: very much, Yushan, thank you very much, great woman.

477
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 7: President of Argentina. He wanted to be here.

478
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 6: That's Argentina's a serious flight, right and he's become a

479
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 6: superstar and he's doing amazing things. He's a maga person.

480
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 6: But it's make Argentina great again. That's what he does, right,

481
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 6: and I want you to stand please here, Javier Relay.

482
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 7: Doing a great job.

483
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Dan O'donalds show. President Trump introducing

484
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: people who are gathered for the posthumous awarding of the

485
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk.

486
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the President.

487
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 7: Incredible people. Speaker of the House, Mike.

488
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,239
Speaker 1: All right, since the President is just doing introductions and

489
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: we do have to get to our final commercial breakup

490
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: this hour We're going to take that right now, and

491
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: in just a couple of minutes we will be back

492
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: to the President and the Charlie Kirk ceremony at the

493
00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: White House of Charlie Kirk, as President Trump is preparing

494
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: to posthumously award him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

495
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 6: Could win four, that would be nice. I went seven

496
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 6: by a lot, by a landslide. But the popular vote

497
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 6: was massive, and we won the electoral College. I remember

498
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,959
Speaker 6: they said, well, it's going to be very hard, I'd

499
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 6: say two hundred and seventy. Well we got three hundred

500
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 6: and twelve to twenty six. And then we won something

501
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 6: called districts and councils and different things. But in one

502
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 6: case we won two thousand, seven hundred and fifty to

503
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 6: five hundred and twenty five. That's the one where you

504
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 6: see the map is almost entirely read except to have

505
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 6: a little blue line on one side and a little

506
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 6: blue line meaning New York and a little bit Los Angeles.

507
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 6: I have a feeling that if the vote were one

508
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 6: hundred percent, we would have won that too.

509
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 7: You want to know the truth.

510
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 6: But he knew, and he knew very well, and he

511
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 6: also understood honesty, and he was always concerned with honesty.

512
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 6: Said the only way we can lose is if the

513
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 6: cheating gets so bad. And that's where we came up

514
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 6: with a little phrase, too big to rig. We said,

515
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 6: go out and.

516
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 7: Vote, Just go out and vote. And we had that.

517
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 6: Remember we used to say that all the time because

518
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 6: people would say, oh, they're going to win, we don't

519
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 6: have to vote, let's go to a movie. We'll come

520
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 6: home and watch later. And he wasn't about that, so

521
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 6: we had we come up to with really together, we

522
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 6: came up with that phrase.

523
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 7: We got to make it too big.

524
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 6: I never made a speech where I didn't say at

525
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 6: the end, now, look the polls are showing good.

526
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 7: Don't believe the pulse. He said, We're going to make it,

527
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 7: Susie right, too big to rig.

528
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 6: So if you think we're going to win by a lot,

529
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 6: doesn't matter, pretend we're losing. You got to go out

530
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 6: a vote. They voted, and at nine oh two, the

531
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 6: whole thing was over, right, nine oh two. Remember they said, oh,

532
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 6: this could go a few days, well a few minutes

533
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 6: nine oh two.

534
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 7: And he knew that, and I felt it, but he

535
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 7: knew it. He knew it. I think he knew it

536
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 7: more than anybody.

537
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 6: But Charlie never missed an opportunity to remind us the

538
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 6: Judeo Christian principles of our nation's founding, or to share

539
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 6: his deep Christian faith. In his final moments, Charlie testified

540
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 6: to the greatness of America and did the glory of

541
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 6: our Savior, with whom he now rests in heaven. And

542
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 6: he is going to make heaven. I said, I'm not

543
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 6: sure I could make it, but he's going to make it.

544
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 6: He's there, he's looking down on us right now. It's

545
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 6: so incredible. Look at this, how this turned out. This

546
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 6: was supposed to be so dark and cloudy. Not dark

547
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 6: and cloudy, is it?

548
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 7: I look at that. How beautiful that is. There's no

549
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 7: artist that can can capture it as beautiful as it

550
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 7: is today. Wow, it's amazing.

551
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 6: As I said on the day that he was assassinated,

552
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 6: Charlie Kirk was a martyr for truth and for freedom,

553
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 6: and from Socrates to Think and to Saint Peter, from

554
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 6: Abraham Lincoln to Martin Luther King, those who change history

555
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 6: the most, and he really did have always risked their

556
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 6: lives for causes they were put on earth to defend.

557
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 6: He was put on earth to do exactly what he

558
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:08,919
Speaker 6: was doing.

559
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 7: He didn't want to waste time. He would have been a.

560
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 6: Top student at any college in the country. I know

561
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 6: to college as well. Was smarter than the guys. He

562
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 6: was so smart. But he almost I guess, didn't have

563
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 6: the time.

564
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 7: He knew what he wanted to do.

565
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 6: It wasn't like Jae I want to sit in classroom

566
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 6: for four years listening to people teach me liberal principles,

567
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 6: because they were never going to teach him that anyway.

568
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 6: But he didn't have the time. He really didn't have

569
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 6: the time. But every time the enemies of goodness and

570
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 6: virtue tried to silence the voice of righteous and noble

571
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 6: leaders like Charlie, they failed, They seemed to fail. Ultimately,

572
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 6: they look like they're doing well, and then they end

573
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 6: up failing because the truth has been unrelenting over the years,

574
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:54,439
Speaker 6: over history, and people like Charlie, it's just they've got

575
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 6: a power that others don't have, and very few people

576
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 6: will ever have. So today, like those martyrs before him,

577
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 6: Charlie's voice, his message, and his legacy are stronger and

578
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 6: greater than ever before.

579
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 7: They are greater than ever before.

580
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: This is President Trump preparing to award posthumously the Presidential

581
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: Medal of Freedom to Charlie Kirk. I do apologize, ladies

582
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. We unfortunately do have to still get to

583
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: our breaks. We do have to let our affiliate catch

584
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: up and all of that. We will get back to this.

585
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: I assume President Trump will still be speaking. This will

586
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 1: be coming back right after the news. We will go

587
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: back to the White House where President Trump is still speaking,

588
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: preparing to honor the late Charlie Kirk with the posthumous

589
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: Presidential Medal of Freedom. Number of people have been complaining

590
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: that we have been forced to Unfortunately, folks, we just

591
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: we really can't unless it is very serious, breaking news.

592
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: We aren't able to preempt commercial because we are on

593
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: multiple stations and because we're in the business of making money.

594
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: And people have been complaining, folks, have you never watched

595
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: a President Trump's speech before? Have you never seen the

596
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: man speak? He's gonna be talking and riffing for like

597
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: the next hour and a half. We'll be able to

598
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: go back and forth. Just going back to the White House,

599
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: coming back for some updates on breaking stories that we've

600
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: been doing. An exclusive story big update today. We reported

601
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: earlier this month exclusively that MSOE, the Milwaukee School of

602
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 1: Engineering was stonewalling and for more than a year, refusing

603
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: to approve a Turning Point USA chapter. I can tell

604
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: you that this afternoon, on what would have been Charlie

605
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: Kirk's thirty second birthday, MSOE leadership did the right thing

606
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: and approved a Turning Point USA chapter on campus. Mike,

607
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: kudos to the administrators at the Milwaukee School of Engineering

608
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: for doing the right thing and caving not to public pressure.

609
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: But as I said to common sets, we'll go back

610
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: to the President in just a second, first four o'clock

611
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: word in the fall Fortune Cash contest bills b I

00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 1: have an update on that story from Oshkosh that we

616
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: brought you in the last hour. It was broken by

617
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: Fox eleven w Luk. The Winnebago County Democrat Party was

618
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: handing out bracelets saying is he dead yet, a clear

619
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: reference to President Trump wishing him dead. That update courtesy

620
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: of our friends at Wluk is that the Democrat Party

621
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: has now been banned from the Oshkosh Farmers Market where

622
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 1: those wristbands were handed out. The last two farmers markets

623
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: of the season will go forward and the Democrat Party

624
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: will not have a booth at them. We also have

625
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: an update that I want to elaborate a little bit

626
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: more on on the Lake Country Classical Academy refusing to

627
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: approve the Turning Point USA chapter. There, the board and

628
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: the principal, Margaret Hagadorn, yes, the wife of alleged Conservative

629
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: Supreme Court Justice Brian Hagadorn, have been going back and forth.

630
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: The board says we have full faith that a Turning

631
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: Point chapter will be allowed on campus. Margaret Hagadorn apparently

632
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 1: sent out a letter to the board and to the

633
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: campus community saying nope, We're founding a Civics club instead.

634
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: We'll get to that and much much more this hour,

635
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: but first let's go back to President Trump at the

636
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: White House for that ceremony honoring Charlie Kirk on this

637
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: his thirty second birthday.

638
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,719
Speaker 6: The mission for which he lived, and he really did.

639
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 6: He lived for this country, lived for his wife and

640
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 6: his family, but he lived for this country too. In

641
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 6: Charlie's honor, we will continue like we have been, to fight, fight, fight,

642
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 6: and to win, win win.

643
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 7: We're going to win so much.

644
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 8: So.

645
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 7: The Presidential Medal of Freedom is a big deal.

646
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 6: You have the Congressional Medal of Honor military and the

647
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 6: Presidential Medal of Freedom which is civilian, and the Presidential

648
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 6: Medal Freedom is a really big deal. Very few people

649
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 6: get it. Very few people, frankly qualify. It's a decision

650
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 6: of the president, but it's a qualification that's a very

651
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 6: hard one to get.

652
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 7: And I would like to ask if I might the.

653
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 6: Military aid to read Charles James Kirk's citation for the

654
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 6: Presidential Medal of Freedom.

655
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 7: Thank you very much, thank you.

656
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 9: The Presidential Medal of Freedom is awarded to Charles James Kirk,

657
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 9: accepting on behalf of Charlie is his wife, missus Erica Kirk.

658
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 9: Charlie Kirk was one of the most influential American political

659
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 9: figures of his generation. At just eighteen years old, he

660
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 9: founded Turning Point USA and grew it into the largest

661
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 9: conservative youth organization in the nation. For over a decade,

662
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 9: he tirelessly traveled the country, leading a movement to restore

663
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 9: respect for our founding principles, reawaken our national identity, and

664
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 9: inspire a renewed spirit of religious devotion. He was one

665
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 9: of the great debaters and communicators of his time. Despite

666
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 9: receiving repeated threats, he remained undeterred and modeled courage, logic, humor,

667
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 9: and grace to the next generation. On September tenth, twenty

668
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 9: twenty five, at age thirty one, Charlie Kirk was assassinated

669
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 9: while addressing a group of students. The United States honors

670
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 9: him of a martyr for truth and freedom.

671
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: President Trump is now holding up the Puddle of Freedom

672
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 1: alongside Charlie Kirk's griddow, Erica Kirk, as the entire crowd

673
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: is to its feat solemnly clapping the standing ovation for

674
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: the great conservative activist. Erica appears to be struggling very

675
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: hard to hold back tears as President Trump has now

676
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: given Erica the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her late husband,

677
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: and Erica Kirk is now approaching the podium to speak

678
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: on behalf of her late husband.

679
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 8: Thank you, mister President, for honoring my husband in such

680
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 8: a profound and meaningful way, and thank you for making

681
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 8: this event a priority with amid the peace process in

682
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 8: the Middle East. Thank you very grateful Charlotte. Excuse me,

683
00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 8: Charlie always admired your commitment to freedom, and that's something

684
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 8: that both of you shared, So thank you. Your support

685
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 8: of our family and the work that Charlie devoted his

686
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 8: life to will be something I cherish forever. So thank

687
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 8: you to our gracious First Lady in her office for

688
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 8: making this event possible. Thank you as well, it's beautiful.

689
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 8: To Vice President and the lovely USHA fans, your friendship

690
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 8: has been an unbelievable encouragement. Thank you, and to all

691
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 8: our friends and family that are here watching from all

692
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 8: around the world, thank you for loving us, Thank you

693
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 8: for praying for us, and for believing in what Charlie

694
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 8: believed in. And to our Turning Point USA staff and

695
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 8: the Charlie Kirk Show staff, we love you more than

696
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 8: you could ever now. And to the Turning Point USA

697
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 8: chapters that are watching all across America right now. You

698
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 8: are the heartbeat of this future and of this movement.

699
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 8: Everything that Charlie built. You guys, are the legacy holders

700
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 8: of that, your living proof that his mission did not

701
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 8: die with him. It lives through you and Charlie always said,

702
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 8: the next generation will decide whether freedom endoors and because

703
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 8: of you, I know that freedom will endure.

704
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 7: It will.

705
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 8: And today we're gathered not only to celebrate Charlie's birthday,

706
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 8: but to honor a truth that he gave his entire

707
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 8: life to defend, and that's freedom. The very existence of

708
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 8: the Presidential Medal of Freedom reminds us that the national

709
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 8: interests of the United States has always been freedom. Our

710
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 8: founders etched it into the preamble of our constitution. And

711
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 8: those words are not relics on parchment. They are a

712
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 8: living covenant. The blessings of liberty are not man's invention,

713
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 8: they are God's endowment. Charlie lived for those blessings, not

714
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 8: as abstract words, but as sacred promises. He used to

715
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 8: love to journal about this topic all the time, and

716
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 8: with such a heart postured of gratitude. And he believed

717
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 8: that liberty was both a right and a responsibility. And

718
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 8: he used to say, freedom is the ability to do

719
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 8: what is right without fear. And that's how he lived.

720
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 8: He was free from fear. He's free from compromise, free

721
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:05,280
Speaker 8: from anything that could enslave his soul. His name Charles

722
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 8: literally means freeman, and that's exactly who my husband was.

723
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 8: He was a free man. And from the time I

724
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 8: met him, sitting across from him being interviewed on politics

725
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 8: and philosophy and theology, anything that Charlie loved, any topic

726
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 8: he loved, and I just saw the fire in his

727
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 8: soul and there was this divine restlessness within him that

728
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 8: came from knowing God placed him on this earth to

729
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 8: protect something very, very sacred for all of us. And

730
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 8: he never stopped fighting for people to experience freedom. He didn't.

731
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:58,319
Speaker 8: Charlie often said that without God, freedom becomes chaos, and

732
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 8: he believed liberty could only survive when anchored to truth.

733
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 8: And I remember in one of his speeches he told

734
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 8: the audience that the opposite of liberty isn't law. He said,

735
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 8: it's captivity, and that the freest people in the world

736
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 8: are those whose hearts belong to Christ. But what's so

737
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 8: powerful is that Charlie had the ability to communicate so

738
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 8: brilliantly across all generations. And he reminded us that in

739
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 8: a world that tells us freedom is doing whatever you

740
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 8: want to do, the real freedom is the power to

741
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 8: live freely and to do what's right, And in one

742
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 8: of his journal interests, he wrote that he wanted everyone

743
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 8: to know that you can't have liberty without moral responsibility.

744
00:50:55,840 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 8: Freedom divorced from faith eventually just destroys itself. And what's

745
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 8: so fascinating about all of this is looking back these

746
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 8: past twelve years of Turning Point USA and his mission,

747
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 8: there's almost this veil of sacredness, because what I realize

748
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 8: is that while he was building an organization, he was

749
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 8: also building a movement, one that called people back to God,

750
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 8: back to truth, and a movement that was filled with courage.

751
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 8: And ironically, for a man who impacted millions, Charlie never

752
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 8: desired to be the center of attention. He just wasn't.

753
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 8: My husband was not a man of extravagance. He loved simple,

754
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 8: but deeply meaningful things, truly. He loved his late night walks.

755
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 8: He loved buying more books than he could ever read.

756
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 8: He felt there was no such thing as a book budget.

757
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 8: And he loved being able to read to our kids

758
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 8: the same bedtime story on repeat because he knew it

759
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 8: was their favorite, but to him, that was special. And

760
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 8: he loved to sit in the sun on a Saturday

761
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 8: morning with his cup of decaf coffee and his phone

762
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 8: was off because he was honoring the Sabbath, and for him,

763
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 8: it was that moment to catch his breath and just

764
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 8: be in peace, because he was unreachable at the moment

765
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 8: and he preferred quiet birthdays. But that never stopped me

766
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 8: from telling him. I told him every single year. I said, Baby,

767
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 8: I love your birthday. I said, because it's a day

768
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 8: that God knew the world couldn't go another day without you.

769
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 8: And so the rhythm of our usual birthday celebration for

770
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 8: him was mint ice cream mint chocolate chip ice cream.

771
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 8: He only had it twice a year on his birthday

772
00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 8: and fourth of July it's and then after that it

773
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 8: was back to work as usual. But last year, his

774
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 8: one birthday wish was to see the Oregon Ducks play

775
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 8: the Ohio State and day won. Oregon won that night,

776
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 8: and it was by far one of the most memorable

777
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 8: nights of his birthday experience of his life until today.

778
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 8: And so, honestly, President Trump, I have spent seven and

779
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 8: a half years trying to find the perfect birthday gift

780
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 8: for Charlie. And it's so difficult. And those of you

781
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 8: that have spouses are loved ones. You know how difficult

782
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 8: it is sometimes to buy a gift for someone that

783
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 8: you love, because he wasn't a materialistic man, so that

784
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 8: also did not help. But now I can say with confidence,

785
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,760
Speaker 8: mister President, that you have given him the best birthday

786
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 8: gift he could ever have. It's such an honor and

787
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 8: the recognition of a life lived for defending freedom. And

788
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 8: that's what Charlie fought were until his last breath, And

789
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 8: it was written across his chest in those final moments

790
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 8: on one of his simple t shirts that always carried

791
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 8: a message, and this one bearing a single word freedom,

792
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 8: that was the banner over his life. And that shirt

793
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 8: was a declaration, the same declaration he made it every speech,

794
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 8: every campus visit, every time he shared the gospel at

795
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 8: a church, every sleepless night, that he would spend praying

796
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 8: for the youth of this nation and planning for the

797
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 8: future of our country, and just oppressing upon them that

798
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,479
Speaker 8: when we defend liberty, we and the soul of our nation.

799
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 8: And my husband never told anyone what to say. He

800
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 8: never did. He never told anyone what to say. He

801
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 8: would just encourage them to think. He would encourage them

802
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 8: to think outside of the traditional political labels. He would

803
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 8: want them to think in a way that was anchored

804
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 8: in wisdom and truth. But he would never tell anyone

805
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 8: what to say. Charlie wasn't content to simply admire freedom.

806
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 8: He wanted to multiply it. He wanted to multiply freedom.

807
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 8: He wanted young people to taste it and to understand

808
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 8: it and defend it. He wanted them to see that

809
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 8: liberty isn't self indulgence, it's self governance under God. He

810
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,359
Speaker 8: wanted them to see that. And every day I'd see

811
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 8: him getting ready for work. He'd put on his cross necklace,

812
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 8: he'd put his ring on his finger, and the boldness

813
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 8: in his demeanor was oh, his fearlessness. He wasn't afraid.

814
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 8: He was never afraid. And his daily actions, whether an

815
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 8: office or on campus or at a church, it was

816
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 8: always without fear. That was his creed. That is how

817
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 8: he lived out every single day. He didn't fear being slandered.

818
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 8: He did not. He didn't fear losing friends. I can

819
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 8: tell you that he didn't. He didn't care. He stood

820
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 8: for truth and stood for freedom, and he did not.

821
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 8: Everything else was just annoys to him. And it's because

822
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 8: his confidence in Christ was absolute. That's why there was

823
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 8: no limit, no limit to what he would have sacrificed

824
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 8: to defend freedom for all. And if the moment had come,

825
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 8: he probably would have run for president, but not out

826
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 8: of ambition. He would only have done it if that

827
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 8: was something that he believed that his country needed. From

828
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:03,399
Speaker 8: a servant's heart standpoint, and Charlie lived only thirty one

829
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 8: short years. I was thirty two, but on this side

830
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 8: of heaven. But he lived. He lived every single second

831
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 8: he lived. He filled every single day with purpose, and

832
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 8: he fought for truth when it was unpopular, and he

833
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 8: stood for God when it was costly. But that's what

834
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 8: we're called to do. Surprisingly enough, he did pray for

835
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 8: his enemies, which is very hard, but he did. He did.

836
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 2: He did.

837
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 8: No one else. I mean I saw him do it. No,

838
00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 8: he never did it in front of anyone else, but

839
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 8: I can attest to that. But he also loved people

840
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 8: when it was inconvenient, and he ran his race with endurance,

841
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 8: and he kept the faith. And now he wears the

842
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 8: crown of a righteous martyr. And for me and for

843
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:06,919
Speaker 8: our children, the truth really studies our grief, because Heaven

844
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:11,680
Speaker 8: gained what earth could no longer contain a free man

845
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 8: made fully free to all watching. This is not a ceremony,

846
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 8: this is a commissioning, and my message is simple. I

847
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:31,919
Speaker 8: want you to be the embodiment of this metal I do.

848
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 8: I want you to free yourself from fear. I want

849
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 8: you to stand courageously in the truth, listen for the

850
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 8: still small voice of God, and remember that while freedom

851
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 8: is inherited in this country, each of us must be

852
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 8: intentional stewards. Every single day. God begin a mighty work

853
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 8: through my husband and I intend to see it through.

854
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 8: And the torches in our hands. Now it's in mine,

855
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 8: it's in yours, it's in all of yours, it's in

856
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:10,480
Speaker 8: all the students with turning Point USA. And before I close,

857
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 8: I'll share with you that I asked our daughter what

858
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 8: she would like to say to Daddy for his birthday.

859
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 7: Excuse me, She said.

860
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 8: Happy birthday, Daddy. I want to give you a stuffed animal.

861
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 8: I want you to eat a cupcake with ice cream,

862
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 8: and I want you to go have a birthday surprise.

863
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,919
Speaker 8: I love you, That's what she said. And while our son,

864
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 8: he's precious, I can't yet speak. In classic Kirk family fashion,

865
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 8: his actions spoke louder than his words, and his gift

866
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 8: to you, Charlie and myself for that matter, was deciding

867
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 8: to become the man of the house and be fully

868
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 8: potty trained at sixteen months. But Charlie, baby, I know

869
01:00:17,840 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 8: that you're celebrating in heaven today, But Gosh, I miss you.

870
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 8: We miss you, and we love you, and we promise

871
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 8: we'll we'll make you proud. And Charlie's life was proof

872
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 8: that freedom is not a theory, it's a testimony. He

873
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 8: showed us that liberty begins not in the halls of power,

874
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 8: but in the man of a heart surrendered to God.

875
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:47,919
Speaker 8: And so today, as we honor Charlie with this incredible

876
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 8: Presidential Medal of Freedom on his birthday, I stained her

877
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 8: with tears and just humbled heart and spirit because his

878
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 8: story reminds us all to live free is the greatest gift,

879
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 8: but to die free is the greatest victory. Happy birthday,

880
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 8: my Charlie, Happy Freedom Day.

881
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: It is Charlie Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, accepting on her

882
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: late husband's behalf the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And I

883
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: suspect not leaving a dry eye in the house. We're

884
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,160
Speaker 1: going to step aside for a break. You're listening to

885
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell show. What an incredible speech by Charlie

886
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: Kirk's widow, Erica Kirk, the president and CEO of Turning Point.

887
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: US say, in case you're wondering, folks, why I went

888
01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: to commercials so quickly after that speech. Yes, we do

889
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: have to fit three commercial breaks in, but also I

890
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: was starting to lose it myself and needed to take

891
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: three minutes to compose myself. When she started talking about

892
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: the two beautiful kids that he leaves behind. It just

893
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 1: absolutely heartbreaking from start to finish. And we here who

894
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: remain to carry on and move forward the vision that

895
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk had of a conservative America, an America that

896
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: goes back to its founding principles and achieves peace and

897
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: prosperity for all through said principles. I mean, it's easy

898
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:48,520
Speaker 1: for us to say, oh, you know, the mission is

899
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: much greater now, and you know ultimately he will achieve

900
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 1: this great victory. Well, unfortunately he's not here, and the

901
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 1: people who loved him most are the people who are.

902
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 2: Left now to pick up the pieces.

903
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 1: It also kind of made me angry, obviously that he

904
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: was assassinated at the far too young age of thirty one,

905
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: and take it away from the greatest calling that he

906
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: possibly could have had, not to start this incredible organization

907
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: or to be a leading voicing conservatism, but rather to

908
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: be a father to those two young children. No, it

909
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 1: made me angry listening to that woman speak and to

910
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: pour her heart out, and to hear online just some

911
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 1: of the vicious stuff said about her, and not necessarily

912
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 1: even from the left. You expect it, I mean, you

913
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: just expect a certain amount of awful, ghoulishness from them

914
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: whenever they talk about a deceased conservative figure. It's just

915
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: sort of par for the course. Now, No, I'm talking

916
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: about people on the right saying that, well, she's not

917
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 1: acting like a grieving widow. She's acting like somebody who

918
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: is pleased as punch that she's been able to take

919
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 1: over this organization and now it's her turn in the spot, Like,

920
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: give me a break. Yesterday I said, I kind of

921
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: took aim at someone who I do respect. Well, I

922
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: did respect Candace Owens for leaning into this just absurd

923
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory that Charlie was murdered by Masad agents or

924
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: forces of Israel because he dared to say, Hey, you know,

925
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: maybe some of the stuff Israel is doing and waging

926
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 1: and prosecuting this war is not germane to their stated objectives.

927
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 1: Maybe they're going a little bit too far. That he

928
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 1: was thinking about ceasing his support for Israel, so they

929
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: murdered him for it. That essentially is Candace Owens's central thesis.

930
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: That's just as awful and just as a boring as

931
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: what the people on the left are saying.

932
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it just is.

933
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: But when you sort of judge how someone else grieves,

934
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: someone else mourns, I mean, nobody else is in that

935
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: posi ive.

936
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 2: Just imagine.

937
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:24,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure there are tons of people who are listening

938
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: to me right now or watching me right now who

939
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: have lost this spouse.

940
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 2: None of you have lost this spouse.

941
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: With the entire world watching, That's just got to be

942
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: an unimaginable pain to have that pressure of media and

943
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:48,840
Speaker 1: social media comments and just everything, and the eyes.

944
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 2: Of quite literally the entire world.

945
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:56,400
Speaker 1: On you as you try to process the unimaginable and

946
01:05:56,520 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: tell children who might or might not even be old

947
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: enough to understand the concept and the finality of death. Certainly,

948
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:10,959
Speaker 1: the sixteen month old little boy. I'm gonna start crying again.

949
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 1: The little boy is gonna grow up not having a

950
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 1: single memory of his father. Oh sure, he could go

951
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: watch the clips. He's just not going to have a father.

952
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 1: And then to think about all of the people you

953
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 1: hear a speech like that, You think about all of

954
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: the people who in the minutes, hours, days, and now

955
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 1: weeks after that man's death saying well, uh, I'm not

956
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: glad he's dead, per se, wink wink. But when you

957
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: have hate in your heart like he did, it's no

958
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: surprise that you're the victim of hate yourself.

959
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:50,800
Speaker 2: Others don't even couch it.

960
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 1: They were just out from the very first moments after

961
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: it was confirmed that Charlie was dead, I'm glad he's dead.

962
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: Wah who who One less Nazi, one less fascist? I mean,

963
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: I think the most lasting impact of Charlie Kirk's assassination

964
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 1: may be that the entire world got to see just

965
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: how truly awful hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people

966
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 1: are just regular everyday people who I don't know if

967
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: they're so desensitized to death or they don't view a

968
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: celebrity or a famous person like Charlie Kirk is being

969
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: really fully, totally a human being. You know, to them,

970
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 1: it's just sort of a face on a screen, it's

971
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: just sort of a name on a website. But to

972
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: just celebrate the death of another human being and to

973
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:58,480
Speaker 1: relish that, to sort of glorify the death the smiting

974
01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 1: of one's political enemies. And we were talking about this

975
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 1: for days and weeks after Charlie's assassination. We were talking

976
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: about this for days and weeks after the assassination of

977
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: Brian Thompson, the United Healthcare CEO. That there is this

978
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 1: glorification of death and glorification of politically motivated murder and

979
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 1: the acceptability of murder as a political tool that is

980
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 1: emerged on the political and social and cultural left that

981
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: I think has left a whole lot of otherwise sane

982
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:42,720
Speaker 1: people utterly speechless, even some lefties, you know, the do

983
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: gooder liberals who just want everybody to get along and

984
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: just wish all those politicians could stop arguing and solve

985
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:52,600
Speaker 1: those things. You don't really pay attention to politics, you

986
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 1: don't really follow this stuff day in and day out.

987
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 1: They're looking at some of the hardcore committed leftists who

988
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: truly do want violent revolution in this country.

989
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 2: It's like, what what are you saying?

990
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 1: This isn't what I signed up for, much more so

991
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 1: than when Rush Limbaugh died, because you know, Rush was

992
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:18,679
Speaker 1: seventy years old, he had just turned seventy.

993
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 2: He he wasn't shot, he wasn't killed. He died of

994
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 2: lung cancer.

995
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: He died of you know, far too young, but he

996
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 1: died of natural causes. For a young husband and father

997
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: in the absolute prime of his life. He was prime

998
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: of him life, barely lived thirty one years. I used

999
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 1: to think thirty one was so old when I was like,

1000
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,639
Speaker 1: oh my god, you're thirty. Now it's like, oh my goodness,

1001
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: thirty years old, thirty two years old today, Man, what

1002
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 1: I would give to be thirty two again, just so

1003
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: everything stopped hurting and I could actually see my phone

1004
01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: without two ex magnifying reading glasses.

1005
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 2: Now I'm just kidding. I have that one point two

1006
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 2: for now.

1007
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm thinking I might have to upgrade to the

1008
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: one point five.

1009
01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 2: But it never dawns on conservatives.

1010
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: For example, when Ruth Bader Ginsburg died a couple of

1011
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: weeks before presidential election, of course, the thought turned out,

1012
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:22,679
Speaker 1: oh my goodness is Trump really going to be able

1013
01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:26,320
Speaker 1: to appoint her successor and get another Supreme Court justice

1014
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:27,679
Speaker 1: before this presidential election.

1015
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 2: Of course he did.

1016
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:32,600
Speaker 1: Nobody was saying, Oh, I'm glad that old bat is dead. No,

1017
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: at least said that. Do you realize that the Wisconsin

1018
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:45,480
Speaker 1: State Senate today moved to honor the life and accomplishments

1019
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:48,679
Speaker 1: of Charlie Kirk as he's getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

1020
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: Every single Democrat voted against that. Every single Democrat. There

1021
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 1: wasn't a single Republican in the United States House of

1022
01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:03,960
Speaker 1: Representatives who voted against the honoring of the life and

1023
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: condemning of the assassination of the Minnesota State Senator Melissa

1024
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,680
Speaker 1: Hortman and her husband in that attack which apparently was

1025
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 1: not politically motivated back in July, unless you count a

1026
01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: crazy man who thought that Tim Walls ordered him to

1027
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: kill United States senators so that Tim could be a

1028
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: senator himself. Seriously, that was in his deranged letter to

1029
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: FBI Director Cash Ptel. Not a single Republican objected to that.

1030
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:35,599
Speaker 1: Every single Democrat in the Wisconsin State Senate just about

1031
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 1: an hour hour and a half ago refused to vote

1032
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 1: for that. United States House Democrats refused to vote for

1033
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: any honoring of the legacy of Charlie Kirk. Why because

1034
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:53,080
Speaker 1: he said things that they disagreed with. I suppose they

1035
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: didn't openly celebrate his death. So that's a start, I

1036
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: guess Dan O'Donnell show. I'm back in just a second,

1037
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 1: sort of trying to decide on the fly what I

1038
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 1: want to do here, because we have one more break,

1039
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 1: do we not? Yeah, so we're going to have six

1040
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:16,600
Speaker 1: seven minutes. I do want to keep it going with

1041
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: the theme of far too many people on the political

1042
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:28,680
Speaker 1: left just being completely and utterly insane. And I mean that,

1043
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,320
Speaker 1: I truly do mean that. I mean we've on this

1044
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 1: show outlined the statistics about mental illness and relative mental health.

1045
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 1: Every study that's ever been done on politics and mental health,

1046
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:45,640
Speaker 1: politics on satisfaction with life show that conservatives are just

1047
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 1: happier and more mentally healthy. That's not you know, spiking

1048
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: the football here, that's not dunking on the or owning

1049
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: the Libs. That's following the science to borrow a popular phrase.

1050
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: But I'm talking about this recent embrace of just this

1051
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 1: violent ideology where all of my enemies must be smited.

1052
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 1: I'd like to think that it started with the bloodlust

1053
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 1: over the attempted assassination of Trump. I mean that I

1054
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 1: think was just primarily shocking to most people. But I

1055
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 1: mean you can go back, what five seven years before that?

1056
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: Seven years before that the congressional baseball shooting. So a

1057
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 1: couple of months after Trump was first sworn in in

1058
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:41,800
Speaker 1: his first term, you have a deranged Bernie Sanders campaign

1059
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,680
Speaker 1: worker drive halfway across the country to try to assassinate

1060
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 1: as many Congressional Republicans as you possibly can. Well, they

1061
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: practiced for the annual baseball game going back how long?

1062
01:13:56,240 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: In Kenosha, there is a guy who has spent his

1063
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:06,520
Speaker 1: time on TikTok over the past couple of weeks basically

1064
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 1: encouraging his followers to attack ICE agents. I want to

1065
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 1: get into this, and I really want to play the

1066
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: sound bites, but I've got like one eye on the clock,

1067
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 1: and I want to tie this into what's going on

1068
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: at Wawa Tosa West High School tomorrow night. I don't

1069
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 1: know if you know this, but the big No King's

1070
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 1: protests are coming up. Round two of the No King's

1071
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 1: protests are coming up this weekend. In Round one, there

1072
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: were coordinated ANTIFA attacks on ICE agents across the country.

1073
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 1: June fourteenth, which just happened to be Donald Trump's birthday,

1074
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: the No King's protest was organized. When you might remember,

1075
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:55,719
Speaker 1: President Trump wanted the military parade to honor the army's

1076
01:14:55,760 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and fiftieth birthday. President Trump's birthday is literally flagged.

1077
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:03,639
Speaker 1: It's the anniversary of the formation of the United States Army.

1078
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 1: He didn't want a military parade for his birthday, like

1079
01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 1: he's Kim Jong un, You absolute morons. He wanted to

1080
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 1: do it to honor the army itself. But they set

1081
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,560
Speaker 1: up this counter protest with the idea being and it

1082
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 1: was correct the media would focus on the No Kings

1083
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: protests instead of the actual military parade. Well, now they're

1084
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 1: doing it again. Walwatosa West has they're inviting high school

1085
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: kids to an event teaching people how to protest in

1086
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 1: advance of the No King's protests on Saturday. Well, last

1087
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 1: time we had those No King's protests, there were attacks

1088
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: across the nation on ICE agents. Are we going to

1089
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: see that again? Well, federal agents just took custody of

1090
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: a man arrested in Kenosha for making incredibly violent threats

1091
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 1: We're going to get to that story I think coming

1092
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:03,719
Speaker 1: up after the top of the hour and talk about

1093
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:07,800
Speaker 1: the No King stuff. Also talk about President Trump's foreign

1094
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:09,960
Speaker 1: policy and a whole lot more. We're going to step

1095
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 1: aside for a very quick break. You are listening to

1096
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show, Classical Conservatism and Contemporary Style. Welcome

1097
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,680
Speaker 1: back Dan o'donald's show. Coming up after the top of

1098
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: the hour. News big update to the story we were

1099
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 1: telling you. The saga of the Turning Point USA chapter

1100
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:40,520
Speaker 1: at Lake Country Classical Academy just took a rather surprising

1101
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:45,719
Speaker 1: turn on this Charlie Kirk's birthday, plus an exclusive story

1102
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: out of Wahwatosa, as well as a guy down in

1103
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 1: Kenosha just being terrifyingly awful when talking about ice agents.

1104
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:58,000
Speaker 1: All that coming up in the final hour the Dan

1105
01:16:58,040 --> 01:16:58,800
Speaker 1: o'donald Show.

1106
01:16:58,840 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 2: Next.

1107
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:04,679
Speaker 1: Yesterday, President Trump was signing an historic peace deal between

1108
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 1: Hamas and Israel, potentially bringing a lasting cease fire as

1109
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 1: well as the potential for a more broadening piece across

1110
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: the region. Today, he was posthumously honoring Charlie Kirk by

1111
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: presenting his widow, Erica, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom

1112
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: outside the White House. We took a substantial portion of

1113
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:32,800
Speaker 1: that ceremony, including Erica's speech, just again like her eulogy

1114
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:38,480
Speaker 1: at her husband's public memorial a month ago, incredibly powerful

1115
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 1: stuff from her Welcome back to the Dan O'Donnell Show.

1116
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: There was a very powerful resolution honoring the life and

1117
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: condemning the death of Charlie Kirk on the floor of

1118
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Legislature today. How did Democrats vote. We'll tell

Speaker 7: Cash.

1128
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:30,000
Speaker 1: In both houses of the Wisconsin State Legislature today there

1129
01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 1: was a resolution honoring the life of Charlie Kirk.

1130
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:38,519
Speaker 2: Here is what it says.

1131
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: Whereas Charlie Kirk dedicated his life with unwavering conviction to

1132
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 1: advancing the timeless principles of faith, liberty, and truth, most

1133
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 1: notably through his founding of turning Point USA, which boldly

1134
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: equipped and inspired a generation of young Americans to defend

1135
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 1: the values that sustain our nation. And whereas his powerful voice,

1136
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 1: scene in his writings, broadcasts, and countless speeches, challenged complacency,

1137
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:14,080
Speaker 1: awakened courage, and emboldened millions to take up the cause

1138
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 1: of freedom with renewed strength and clarity. And whereas, beyond

1139
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 1: his public mission, Charlie Kirk was first and foremost a

1140
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 1: devoted husband and loving father, fiercely committed to his wife

1141
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 1: and their two young children, whom he treasured as the

1142
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 1: heart of his life. And whereas the brutal and senseless

1143
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: act that claimed his life has shaken our hearts, leaving

1144
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:38,679
Speaker 1: an immense void not only in his family, but across

1145
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:42,919
Speaker 1: our nation, which looked to him as a steadfast champion

1146
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:43,679
Speaker 1: for liberty.

1147
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 2: And whereas we are.

1148
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 1: Heartbroken by the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and we are

1149
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: praying with urgency and faith for his wife, his two

1150
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:55,799
Speaker 1: small children, and for our country, as we seek God's

1151
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: strength to endure and overcome this devastating loss. Now there

1152
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 1: be it resolved by the Senate, with the Assembly concurring

1153
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:09,600
Speaker 1: that the Wisconsin Legislature honors Charlie Kirk's extraordinary life and

1154
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:14,800
Speaker 1: legacy with deepest gratitude, recognizing his fearless devotion to God

1155
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 1: and unshakable love of family, and his tireless service to country.

1156
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:24,679
Speaker 1: And be it further resolved that the Wisconsin Legislature commends

1157
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:28,080
Speaker 1: his memory to future generations as a beacon of conviction

1158
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 1: and courage. And be it further resolved that the Wisconsin

1159
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:34,880
Speaker 1: Legislature joins together in prayer for his family and for

1160
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:39,799
Speaker 1: our nation, that God would bring healing, peace and resolve

1161
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:47,520
Speaker 1: as his legacy continues to inspire. Very well written resolution

1162
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 1: honoring Charlie Kirk put to a vote today on what

1163
01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:53,680
Speaker 1: would have been his thirty second birthday in both the

1164
01:20:53,720 --> 01:21:00,000
Speaker 1: Wisconsin State Assembly and State Senate. Not a single Democh

1165
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 1: voted for it, save for one, any guesses, the one

1166
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: that they accused of trying to murder other Democrats with

1167
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: an ar fifteen. Sylvia or tees Vales was the only

1168
01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 1: Democrat who crossed party lines and voted for a relatively

1169
01:21:24,080 --> 01:21:29,520
Speaker 1: benign resolution just honoring Charlie kirk life condemning his assassination.

1170
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: I get, folks, I do if Rachel Maddow was murdered

1171
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 1: in cold blood.

1172
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 2: I don't think I.

1173
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:41,880
Speaker 1: Would want to sign on to or vote for a

1174
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 1: resolution honoring her life that said no conservative would ever

1175
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:53,680
Speaker 1: murder Rachel Maddow. How do I know this because it

1176
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: has not happened and will not happen. Seriously, name me

1177
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: left wing? The only one that they could make. The

1178
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: only left wing figure was an obscure Democrat state senator

1179
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:14,639
Speaker 1: from Minnesota who was assassinated in a horrendous crime along

1180
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 1: with her husband early one Saturday morning in late June.

1181
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:22,559
Speaker 1: Early July, another Minnesota state senator was shot and injured

1182
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: in what appeared to be a targeted attack. Had to

1183
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 1: be politically motivated, right, wrong, wrong, It was only politically

1184
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 1: motivated insofar as a crazy man who truly believed that

1185
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 1: it was his mission to kill the two United State Senators,

1186
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:46,720
Speaker 1: not state senators, but United States Senators Tina Smith and

1187
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: Ab Klobashar, because Tim Walls told him to do so,

1188
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:55,639
Speaker 1: and that Walls wanted to be senator. But Senator Smith

1189
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,679
Speaker 1: and Klobashar were standing at his way. They obviously weren't

1190
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: going to step down so he could become senator. So clearly,

1191
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 1: this guy, this deranged psychopath vance Belter needed to kill them.

1192
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 1: He apparently instead settled for killing a couple of state senators.

1193
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:15,920
Speaker 1: He was deranged. This was not a politically motivating crime.

1194
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 2: But I can understand.

1195
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: I can understand Democrats not wanting to sign on to this.

1196
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: But you would think, since I don't know, we had

1197
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 1: maybe five minutes after Charlie Kirk's assassination in which Democrats

1198
01:23:33,040 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: told us we all need to come together and turn

1199
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:40,720
Speaker 1: down the temperature, it might be a conciliatory gesture to

1200
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 1: sign on to one of these benign resolutions. Nope, just

1201
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:48,559
Speaker 1: cannot bring themselves to do it. And oh, by the way,

1202
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 1: Sylvia ortiz Vales, you might remember, freaked out after she

1203
01:23:55,080 --> 01:24:00,600
Speaker 1: was systematically excluded by the Hispanic Democrat quawking in the

1204
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:05,560
Speaker 1: Assembly on naming half of September and half of October

1205
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:10,759
Speaker 1: Hispanic Heritage Month. Tomorrow marks the end apparently of Hispanic

1206
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 1: Heritage Month, which is half of one month and half

1207
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:17,000
Speaker 1: of another. Still doesn't make sense to me. Pick September

1208
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 1: or pick October. Hispanic Democrats, you can't have both. She

1209
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:27,879
Speaker 1: gets passed over for this, and she gets really upset,

1210
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: and she's sniping back and forth with Clucus members, and

1211
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 1: she's kind of texting back and forth, and she apparently

1212
01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:40,840
Speaker 1: at one point is going back and forth with one

1213
01:24:40,880 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 1: member and says, you know that, like if you bring

1214
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,960
Speaker 1: a knife to a gunfight, I'll bring an AR fifteen.

1215
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 1: It's a figure of speech. It's clearly understood to be

1216
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:53,440
Speaker 1: a figure of speech. Greta Nubauer, who is the Assembly

1217
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 1: leader of the Democrats and the Democrat Assembly minority leader,

1218
01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 1: she actually contacted the Capitol Police and the HR department

1219
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: for the state Capitol. They got ortezvill As booted out

1220
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 1: of the capital. They banned her from the capitol coincidentally

1221
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 1: or not, just before she was about to testify in

1222
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:22,679
Speaker 1: a committee that Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley had abused

1223
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 1: his authority by going long story he abused his authority

1224
01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:32,280
Speaker 1: on declaring an emergency or using his emergency powers during

1225
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:33,200
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen.

1226
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 2: They tried to kick her out of the Capitol. I'll

1227
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:38,679
Speaker 2: just kick her out of the Democrat walker.

1228
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 1: They tried to bar her from the Capitol because she

1229
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 1: has a tendency to do things like voting with the

1230
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:48,800
Speaker 1: Republicans to honor the life of Charlie Kirk hopefully we

1231
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:51,320
Speaker 1: will be able to before this show is over. Get

1232
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 1: you a couple of audio sound bites of Democrats speaking

1233
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 1: out against this resolution. I am told by multiple sources

1234
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:03,200
Speaker 1: at the Capitol that some of the speeches were truly unhinged.

1235
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:06,639
Speaker 1: In fact, the quote to me was, Dan, your show

1236
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:10,679
Speaker 1: tomorrow is going to be lit with these crazies saying

1237
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 1: crazy stuff on the floor. Speaking of crazies, a man

1238
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:21,479
Speaker 1: in Kenosha by the name of Andrew Stanton full name

1239
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:26,599
Speaker 1: Andrew Warren Stanton. It is a relatively common name, was

1240
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 1: all over social media TikTok in particular ahead of this

1241
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 1: weekend's No King's protests threatening ICE agents. Now, during the

1242
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 1: last No King's protests on June fourteenth, there was a

1243
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 1: coordinated round of attacks in multiple cities where these protests

1244
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:51,000
Speaker 1: were taking place against ICE agents. A couple of weeks later,

1245
01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 1: on July fourth, in Texas, there were some Antifa thugs

1246
01:26:56,520 --> 01:27:00,559
Speaker 1: who lured ICE agents out of their facility, throwing off

1247
01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 1: fireworks in the parking lot and engaging in property damage.

1248
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 1: When they came out, the antipagoon started shooting at them.

1249
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:12,800
Speaker 1: One officer was shot but was able to survive. He

1250
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:16,799
Speaker 1: made a full recovery apparently, and there were multiple arrests.

1251
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:24,120
Speaker 1: It is believed that with ICE continuing Operation Midway Blitz

1252
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 1: in Chicago and engaging in roundups elsewhere across the country,

1253
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:33,720
Speaker 1: that ICE agents will be targets again. We are just

1254
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:37,760
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks removed against the attempted assassination of

1255
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 1: ICE agents by a leftist goon down in Texas. He

1256
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 1: instead accidentally shot an illegal immigrant that they were attempting

1257
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 1: to bring into custody. Stanton has been for at least

1258
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:58,440
Speaker 1: several days, according to our good friends at Libs of TikTok,

1259
01:27:59,479 --> 01:28:06,639
Speaker 1: posting on TikTok and elsewhere open threats against ICE agents.

1260
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:10,599
Speaker 2: When y'all's bodies lay motionless on the ground ICE patch

1261
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:13,959
Speaker 2: facing up at the sky, We're going to loot your corpses.

1262
01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 2: And I can't wait to see those videos.

1263
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:19,720
Speaker 1: Okay, now, you might have not been able to hear

1264
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:23,519
Speaker 1: that because hooked on a Feeling for some reason was

1265
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: playing very loudly in the background as he was recording

1266
01:28:26,479 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 1: this very serious threat to ICE agents. Nothing like a

1267
01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: good old seventies banger to really make the point about

1268
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 1: how serious and evil you are.

1269
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 2: He said, when we take you down.

1270
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,639
Speaker 1: We are going to look forward to seeing those ICE

1271
01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:48,080
Speaker 1: badges lying face up. We are going to loot your corpses.

1272
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 1: That's an explicit threat that there is no interpretation Ice agents.

1273
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,960
Speaker 1: We are going to kill you and we are going

1274
01:28:59,000 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 1: to quote loot your corpses.

1275
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:03,520
Speaker 2: In another video.

1276
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:08,240
Speaker 1: That Stanton posts, he says, if you come across someone

1277
01:29:08,479 --> 01:29:12,719
Speaker 1: beating an ICE agent, then help them escape or help

1278
01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:14,320
Speaker 1: them beat said ICE agent.

1279
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:16,559
Speaker 9: Someone has the balls to swing on an ICE agent

1280
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 9: or pull out that pole, you can help with them.

1281
01:29:21,320 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 2: And I'm not talking about helping ICE. Make sure that

1282
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:27,799
Speaker 2: person gets away, okay.

1283
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: Dancing with myself he picked as the soundtrack for this

1284
01:29:32,320 --> 01:29:36,360
Speaker 1: very threatening video, saying, if someone steps to ICE or

1285
01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:40,479
Speaker 1: hits them with that pole, I don't know what he's

1286
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 1: talking about. Maybe a baton billy club as it's known.

1287
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:47,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1288
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:50,719
Speaker 1: But if you come across this, he is saying, help

1289
01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:54,800
Speaker 1: them get away. And of course it would not be

1290
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 1: a left wing radical without what has become something of

1291
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:00,000
Speaker 1: their catch.

1292
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:03,720
Speaker 7: At the end of the day, a good cop is

1293
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 7: a dead cock.

1294
01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:05,479
Speaker 2: That's right.

1295
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 1: The only good cop is a dead cop. Andrew Stanton

1296
01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 1: was booked into the Kenosha County jail. He is no

1297
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:20,960
Speaker 1: longer listed as an inmate there, at least as of

1298
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 1: a check a couple of hours ago. However, it does appear,

1299
01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 1: based on his intake form, that he was taken into

1300
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:32,840
Speaker 1: custody by the United States Marshals who are now investigating

1301
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 1: this as a federal crime. And good for them, because

1302
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 1: making threats against law enforcement agents this goes beyond this.

1303
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:45,800
Speaker 1: This would be making terroristic threats. It absolutely is a

1304
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:49,799
Speaker 1: federal crime. And with the No Kings protests coming up, folks,

1305
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:54,400
Speaker 1: law enforcement had better be on high alert because there

1306
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,920
Speaker 1: are way too many Andrew Stantons out there.

1307
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 2: And are they going to be trained for.

1308
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:07,080
Speaker 1: This weekend's event at Wuahwa Tosa West High School?

1309
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:09,000
Speaker 2: Sure looks that way.

1310
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:13,320
Speaker 1: The exclusive story on the Dan O'Donnell show coming up

1311
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:18,640
Speaker 1: in just three minutes. What are you up to Tomorrow night,

1312
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:21,640
Speaker 1: six thirty to eight pm. No Brewer game. It's a

1313
01:31:21,760 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 1: travel day. Game two starts in what about an hour

1314
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:28,639
Speaker 1: and a half, seven oh eight. First pitch tonight at

1315
01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:34,600
Speaker 1: American Family Field Game two against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

1316
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:41,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna head out to Juahwa Tosa West's cafeteria. They

1317
01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:46,920
Speaker 1: are holding a protesting seminar. There protester rights, the intersections

1318
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:49,559
Speaker 1: of government and the rule of law. Now why are

1319
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:53,000
Speaker 1: they doing this right now at this moment in time,

1320
01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:59,680
Speaker 1: Because on Saturday, October eighteenth, the big No Kings protests

1321
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:04,560
Speaker 1: are going to take place in many locations. Those coincided

1322
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 1: with coordinated attacks on ICE agents. And yes, there was

1323
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:17,440
Speaker 1: scattered rioting and bad behavior at those protests on June fourteenth,

1324
01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:24,000
Speaker 1: I believe was the speaker is going to be James Santel,

1325
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:29,800
Speaker 1: who was the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.

1326
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:33,640
Speaker 1: Learn about your protesting rights as we warm up for

1327
01:32:33,760 --> 01:32:38,720
Speaker 1: the No Kings two protest on October eighteenth at over

1328
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:45,320
Speaker 1: twenty one hundred cities across the United States. This is

1329
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:49,879
Speaker 1: from the group Indivisible Tosa. Indivisible is a big national

1330
01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:56,559
Speaker 1: left wing organization. This according to the Wahwatosa chapter's Facebook page.

1331
01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:02,759
Speaker 1: Special note, we are inviting high school students to this event,

1332
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:06,400
Speaker 1: so if you know any high school students who are interested,

1333
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:13,000
Speaker 1: please invite them. Also important, the No Kigs MKE group

1334
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:16,200
Speaker 1: is still seeking volunteers and donations to pull this off,

1335
01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:18,800
Speaker 1: So if you're able to help with time or donations,

1336
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:22,960
Speaker 1: please visit this link and then they provide.

1337
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:23,559
Speaker 2: A link to.

1338
01:33:25,720 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 1: The place where you can help them. So I got

1339
01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:39,720
Speaker 1: to think, an, am I just able to rent to

1340
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:43,600
Speaker 1: the cafeteria Waalatosa West High School, or like any Walatosa

1341
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:48,519
Speaker 1: School District facility for anything I want?

1342
01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:51,680
Speaker 2: Because it seems to me.

1343
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:59,519
Speaker 1: That this does not seem to be an appropriate use

1344
01:33:59,840 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 1: of school resources. This is an expressly political organization doing

1345
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:11,439
Speaker 1: an expressly political thing.

1346
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:13,920
Speaker 10: HM.

1347
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:19,960
Speaker 1: Because you see, I just I do this sort of stuff.

1348
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a nerd like this. I actually have

1349
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:27,080
Speaker 1: the Wauwatosis School Board's policy right here on renting a

1350
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:30,439
Speaker 1: school facility. This is an excerpt from Board Policy seven

01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:39,840

01:34:40,040 --> 01:34:43,160

Speaker 1: may not be charged. Such usage will be granted only

1355

01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:53,480
Speaker 1: and upon the execution of an approved agreement form outlining

1357
01:34:53,640 --> 01:35:01,120
Speaker 1: the following conditions. Organizations applying for such u uses must

Speaker 1: usage will be devoted. The Superintendent is authorized to grant

1362
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:17,280

Speaker 1: meet the intended purposes of this policy, and where the

1364
01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:23,520
Speaker 1: proceeds are to be used for communication or a community

1365
01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:31,360
Speaker 1: I should say purposes. What group is actually doing? Is

1366
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:37,080
Speaker 1: it indivisible Wahwatosa? Is it the Democrat party?

1367
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:37,280
Speaker 10: Like?

1368
01:35:37,400 --> 01:35:38,280
Speaker 7: Who is.

1369
01:35:40,000 --> 01:35:45,320
Speaker 2: Doing this? And is it appropriate to have the.

1370
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:51,559
Speaker 1: Former US attorney who is Did we not just talk

1371
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:56,280
Speaker 1: about Jim Santella on the program last week spewing misinformation

1372
01:35:56,800 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 1: along with that retired Milwaukee County judge on the uh oh,

1373
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 1: what's that idiot's name?

1374
01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:04,240
Speaker 2: The woman?

1375
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:07,400
Speaker 1: No, the woman with scaffiti, what is her name? Kristin Brye,

1376
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:13,000
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Kristin bry just spewing misinformation on

1377
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:18,559
Speaker 1: the Kristin Brye Show. By the way, I was, don't

1378
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:22,680
Speaker 1: ask me why I was a glutton for punishment. I

1379
01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:27,280
Speaker 1: listened to maybe thirty minutes of that, came away thinking,

1380
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, I kind of want to have Jim

1381
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 1: Santella on the program because I'm fairly certain he doesn't

1382
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:38,799
Speaker 1: actually understand constitutional law, and it would be a pretty

1383
01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:42,519
Speaker 1: fun debate. But no, he's gonna be teaching the high

1384
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:46,760
Speaker 1: school students of Wahwatosa what they can do when one

1385
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:49,519
Speaker 1: of these No King's rallies gets out of control and

1386
01:36:49,560 --> 01:36:53,559
Speaker 1: not get arrested by the cops. Like what the know

1387
01:36:53,760 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 1: your rights? What are they planning to do at this

1388
01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:02,760
Speaker 1: No King's protest? That they need to prepare for it

1389
01:37:03,160 --> 01:37:09,639
Speaker 1: with legal counsel. So you know, junior, if you want

1390
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:16,400
Speaker 1: to carry a Molotov cocktail, keep the lighter fluid separate

1391
01:37:16,600 --> 01:37:19,320
Speaker 1: from the match so you don't blow yourself out.

1392
01:37:19,479 --> 01:37:20,560
Speaker 2: Like what.

1393
01:37:22,600 --> 01:37:27,679
Speaker 1: This seriously sounds like they are trying to tell people

1394
01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:32,679
Speaker 1: exactly what you can and can't do while you're rioting

1395
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:36,000
Speaker 1: in Wahwatosa. Because it seems to me that this was

1396
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:39,960
Speaker 1: just a protest. We all lived through twenty twenty, right,

1397
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:45,719
Speaker 1: we all remember the goons just sort of walking around

1398
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:50,680
Speaker 1: through Wahwatosa and there would be your periodic property damage.

1399
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:56,360
Speaker 1: We had fiery but mostly peaceful protests. Did everybody just

1400
01:37:56,479 --> 01:38:01,280
Speaker 1: kind of forget what their First Amendment rights are? Why

1401
01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:06,760
Speaker 1: do we need a lawyer on hand teaching people what

1402
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:10,160
Speaker 1: to do and say, unless there is some concern that

1403
01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:13,559
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a whole lot of illegal activity going

1404
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:17,400
Speaker 1: on at these protests. A big update on the Lake

1405
01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:25,640
Speaker 1: Country Christian Lake Country Classical Academy. The principal there, Margaret Hagadorn,

1406
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:28,799
Speaker 1: who just happens to be married to alleged Conservative Supreme

1407
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:32,600
Speaker 1: Court Justice Brian Hagadorn, Well, she thinks she found a

1408
01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 1: compromise to not allowing the Turning Point USA chapter to

1409
01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:42,480
Speaker 1: be formed on campus. They're not going to allow the

1410
01:38:42,560 --> 01:38:45,479
Speaker 1: Turning Point USA chapter to be formed on campus. Instead,

1411
01:38:45,520 --> 01:38:48,439
Speaker 1: they're going to have a Civics club. We'll get into

1412
01:38:48,479 --> 01:38:52,080
Speaker 1: that story. Plus, I have some audio soundbites from Democrats

1413
01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:55,439
Speaker 1: railing against the Charlie Kirk resolution today.

1414
01:38:55,479 --> 01:38:58,920
Speaker 2: We'll get to that as well.

1415
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:06,200
Speaker 1: Senator dor Drake gave quite the speech Charlie Kirk on

1416
01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:10,759
Speaker 1: the floor of the Wisconsin State Senate before every single

1417
01:39:10,880 --> 01:39:17,160
Speaker 1: Democrat voted against a resolution condemning his assassination and honoring

1418
01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:20,360
Speaker 1: his life on what would have been his thirty second birthday.

1419
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:22,400
Speaker 2: Today, welcome back to the Dan O'Donnell show.

1420
01:39:22,880 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 1: In the State Assembly, every single Democrat save for Sylvia

1421
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:31,600
Speaker 1: or Tease Valaise, who I will admit I might have

1422
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:32,599
Speaker 1: been wrong about.

1423
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:34,639
Speaker 2: I thought she was nuts.

1424
01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:42,040
Speaker 1: Turns out every other Democrat besides Sylvia Ortiz Valse is nuts.

1425
01:39:43,560 --> 01:39:47,759
Speaker 1: She actually voted along with every Republican on a very simple,

1426
01:39:47,960 --> 01:39:53,800
Speaker 1: very straightforward, very benign resolution. We will get to some

1427
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:58,320
Speaker 1: of Drake's speech, as well as some of the other

1428
01:39:58,600 --> 01:40:01,920
Speaker 1: unhinged dem react actions in just a second. First, I

1429
01:40:02,080 --> 01:40:07,120
Speaker 1: do want to get to a big update. You know,

1430
01:40:07,160 --> 01:40:10,080
Speaker 1: if you're watching live on the dan ocam, it's getting

1431
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:14,080
Speaker 1: real when the glasses come on, because I've got to

1432
01:40:14,080 --> 01:40:18,040
Speaker 1: read something from my phone which was sent to me

1433
01:40:19,439 --> 01:40:23,280
Speaker 1: by a number of people who have been following this story. So,

1434
01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:29,759
Speaker 1: the Lake Country Classical Academy is a very conservative school.

1435
01:40:29,800 --> 01:40:34,920
Speaker 1: In fact, it's so conservative its principle is the wife

1436
01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 1: of a Supreme Court justice, one of only three soon

1437
01:40:38,400 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 1: to be well, hopefully not, but Rebecca Bradley is resigning

1438
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:46,000
Speaker 1: and we may be down to a seven to two

1439
01:40:46,040 --> 01:40:49,640
Speaker 1: liberal majority, So one of just three conservatives on the

1440
01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:56,840
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Supreme Court. Lake Country Classical Academy is associated with

1441
01:40:57,320 --> 01:41:03,640
Speaker 1: It is part of the Hillsdale College network. Hillsdale is

1442
01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:10,519
Speaker 1: known as the premier conservative classical Education Institute of Higher Education.

1443
01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:15,960
Speaker 1: It's in Hillsdale, Michigan, and it's just a wonderful school.

1444
01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:24,600
Speaker 1: But apparently Missus Hagadorn Principal Margaret Hagadorn, simply under no

1445
01:41:24,840 --> 01:41:31,760
Speaker 1: circumstances will allow a turning Point chapter on campus. She

1446
01:41:31,960 --> 01:41:39,479
Speaker 1: is citing Hillsdale bylaws which prevent any overtly political organizations

1447
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:40,759
Speaker 1: on campus.

1448
01:41:42,439 --> 01:41:44,160
Speaker 2: Okay, as I.

1449
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:50,120
Speaker 1: Explained earlier in the show, Turning Point, which is okay political,

1450
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:52,640
Speaker 1: it's also a five oh one C three, meaning it

1451
01:41:52,720 --> 01:41:59,000
Speaker 1: can't do direct advocacy. She's holding fast to her guns,

1452
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:04,439
Speaker 1: even when her own board whose honorary or yeah, I

1453
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:08,160
Speaker 1: think the honorary chair. The honorary board chair is Scott Walker,

1454
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:14,160
Speaker 1: so you know it's a pretty conservative board. The board said, Okay,

1455
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:16,479
Speaker 1: we're going to take this up. We think we can

1456
01:42:16,560 --> 01:42:19,280
Speaker 1: work together with Turning Point. We can have a Turning

1457
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:22,559
Speaker 1: Point chapter on campus. This really isn't a big deal,

1458
01:42:24,240 --> 01:42:31,400
Speaker 1: At which point Missus Hagadorn throws her body in front

1459
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:36,599
Speaker 1: of the incoming Turning Point chapter to shield the poor

1460
01:42:36,760 --> 01:42:42,200
Speaker 1: students from the horrors of a turning Point chapter. Here

1461
01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:47,120
Speaker 1: is the letter she sent today on coincidentally enough, Charlie

1462
01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:51,800
Speaker 1: Kirk's birthday. Dear Lake Country Classical Academy community. I've spent

1463
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:55,400
Speaker 1: the past few days talking directly with national leadership at

1464
01:42:55,400 --> 01:42:59,599
Speaker 1: TPUSA and its High School division Club America. It's been

1465
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,160
Speaker 1: great to learn more about their educational work and the

1466
01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:05,600
Speaker 1: structure of their outreach. I discussed our school in the

1467
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 1: Hillsdale K twelve curriculum that we use. It was a

1468
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:12,680
Speaker 1: fruitful opportunity to understand the common ground between both of

1469
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:16,400
Speaker 1: our organizations. I can confirm that they are as passionate

1470
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:19,559
Speaker 1: about civis American history and civil debate as we are.

1471
01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:24,679
Speaker 1: We clarified our fidelity to Hillsdale's model and curriculum after

1472
01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:29,240
Speaker 1: good discussions with TPUSA, We've agreed to create a school

1473
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:34,520
Speaker 1: sanctioned Civics club that will promote civic practice for students

1474
01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:37,040
Speaker 1: and complement the hard work we do here within the

1475
01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:40,640
Speaker 1: parameters of the school's own policies. I am grateful for

1476
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 1: National TPUSA and its leadership and for their help in

1477
01:43:44,479 --> 01:43:47,040
Speaker 1: landing on a solution. I look forward to working with

1478
01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:47,759
Speaker 1: them in the future.

1479
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:51,200
Speaker 2: Thank you. Margaret Hagadorn. Principles, So the solution.

1480
01:43:52,520 --> 01:43:55,800
Speaker 1: Is that there is no turning point USA chapter coming

1481
01:43:55,840 --> 01:44:03,200
Speaker 1: to the most conservative school probably in Lake Country. It's

1482
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:10,000
Speaker 1: in Ocontomawalk, by the way. So it's a civics club

1483
01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:13,840
Speaker 1: that is going to do the exact same thing that

1484
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:17,719
Speaker 1: Turning Point is going to do. But we simply can't

1485
01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:22,320
Speaker 1: bring ourselves to allow Turning Point into the school, even

1486
01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:27,080
Speaker 1: though we share the exact mission, the exact philosophy, the

1487
01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:31,679
Speaker 1: exact values, in the exact principles of Turning Point, because

1488
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 1: Hillsdale clearly would not allow Turning Point. Okay, is there

1489
01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:39,880
Speaker 1: can somebody please tell me? I'm gonna look this up

1490
01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:44,480
Speaker 1: right now, and I realize how terrible a radio this is.

1491
01:44:44,479 --> 01:44:52,640
Speaker 1: Is there a Turning Point USA chapter on Hillsdale College.

1492
01:44:52,760 --> 01:44:55,519
Speaker 1: Hillsdale College three weeks ago just gave Charlie Kirk an

1493
01:44:55,520 --> 01:45:02,600
Speaker 1: honorary degree. So oh, here we go, two hundred and

1494
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:08,759
Speaker 1: forty followers Turning Point USA at Hillsdale College. How could

1495
01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:12,400
Speaker 1: this possibly be against Hillsdale's mission? Am I missing something?

1496
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking at their Facebook right now? Unless this isn't

1497
01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:26,400
Speaker 1: an official Hillsdale College organization, how can this not align

1498
01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:34,560
Speaker 1: with Hillsdale or with Lake Country Classical Academy. The principle

1499
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:38,519
Speaker 1: here is saying, well, we're we have to be aligned

1500
01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:43,000
Speaker 1: with Hillsdale mission. Hillsdale College has a turning point chapter.

1501
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:52,320
Speaker 1: This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Yeah, now

1502
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:54,639
Speaker 1: there it is the official chapter Hillsdale College.

1503
01:45:57,720 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 2: How can this woman possibly.

1504
01:46:00,080 --> 01:46:00,679
Speaker 7: Can she click?

1505
01:46:00,880 --> 01:46:05,040
Speaker 1: Well, it goes against the byelaws of Hillsdale College. We

1506
01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 1: have to have utmost fidelity to the bye laws.

1507
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:13,479
Speaker 2: They've got a chapter. This is what I'm telling you.

1508
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:16,400
Speaker 2: I did. I not say the opening segment of this

1509
01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:19,040
Speaker 2: show exactly.

1510
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:22,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to lump her and her husband in

1511
01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:25,960
Speaker 1: together or paint with too broad of a brush here.

1512
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:29,640
Speaker 1: But this is the exact same thing Hagadorn does in

1513
01:46:29,720 --> 01:46:35,360
Speaker 1: his opinions, especially the one on redistricting. He is so convinced,

1514
01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:40,000
Speaker 1: he is so stridently convinced that he is right on

1515
01:46:40,120 --> 01:46:44,640
Speaker 1: some tiny little nuance of the law that he completely

1516
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:47,479
Speaker 1: misses the fourth not for the trees, but for the

1517
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:51,439
Speaker 1: tiny little weeds that are sprouting up in between the trees.

1518
01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:54,280
Speaker 2: There's a turt.

1519
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:55,920
Speaker 10: All right.

1520
01:46:56,080 --> 01:46:59,479
Speaker 1: I think I just single handedly ended this stupid debate

1521
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:04,760
Speaker 1: at Lake Country Classical Academy. You're welcome Lake Country families

1522
01:47:04,760 --> 01:47:08,000
Speaker 1: who are as perplexed as I am why you sent

1523
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:12,720
Speaker 1: your kids to a conservative high school. You know, my

1524
01:47:13,240 --> 01:47:16,080
Speaker 1: wife actually was considerate. She said, you know, maybe we

1525
01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:18,720
Speaker 1: should send our kids to his school like that.

1526
01:47:19,120 --> 01:47:20,400
Speaker 2: Well, Hun, I don't know.

1527
01:47:21,720 --> 01:47:25,920
Speaker 1: They might get a principle who thinks we can't accept

1528
01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:30,519
Speaker 1: We can't accept Dan o'donald's kids because although we agree

1529
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:33,639
Speaker 1: with everything Dan o'donald says, he's just.

1530
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:36,759
Speaker 2: A little too political for our liking.

1531
01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:39,280
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna finish the show talking some brewers

1532
01:47:39,320 --> 01:47:42,880
Speaker 1: and giving you what you want. Unhinged libs speaking out

1533
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:46,800
Speaker 1: against that. Charlie Kirk resolution from today, Welcome back to

1534
01:47:46,840 --> 01:47:49,040
Speaker 1: the Dan o'donald Show. Today, on the floor of the

1535
01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:53,479
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Senate and Assembly, a joint resolution to condemn the

1536
01:47:53,479 --> 01:47:57,599
Speaker 1: assassination and honor the life of Charlie Kirk on what

1537
01:47:57,640 --> 01:48:00,160
Speaker 1: would have been his thirty second birthday, the day he

1538
01:48:00,240 --> 01:48:04,439
Speaker 1: posthumously received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, a month and

1539
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:08,240
Speaker 1: four days after his assassination on the campus of Utah

1540
01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 1: Valley University by a deranged leftist who wanted to shut

1541
01:48:12,240 --> 01:48:17,559
Speaker 1: him up because he said he said to his family

1542
01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:22,759
Speaker 1: members and to his transgender boyfriend that Charlie was a bigot.

1543
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 1: And there is some hate you just can't reason with. Well, today,

1544
01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:33,360
Speaker 1: on the floor of the Senate, Wisconsin, Senator Dora Drake

1545
01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:36,960
Speaker 1: said much the same thing, that Charlie Kirk was a

1546
01:48:37,120 --> 01:48:37,799
Speaker 1: big as.

1547
01:48:37,680 --> 01:48:40,680
Speaker 10: If Charlie devoted his life to God, he did not

1548
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:45,599
Speaker 10: care for all of God's children. And as a believer,

1549
01:48:45,840 --> 01:48:47,960
Speaker 10: I have a problem when people like to pick and

1550
01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:52,400
Speaker 10: choose values and principles are of our faith to uphold

1551
01:48:52,439 --> 01:48:55,760
Speaker 10: their own political agendas for power and control because of

1552
01:48:55,800 --> 01:48:59,519
Speaker 10: who the person is, and a faith is a thing.

1553
01:49:00,760 --> 01:49:04,400
Speaker 10: The words that he shared clearly did not reflect that

1554
01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:08,599
Speaker 10: he cared for all Americans. His assassination has been followed

1555
01:49:08,640 --> 01:49:12,360
Speaker 10: with calls of violent retribution from his followers, which only

1556
01:49:12,479 --> 01:49:16,400
Speaker 10: fuels the tensions that put many in our nation at risk.

1557
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:20,480
Speaker 10: So when history looks back to talk about his life,

1558
01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:24,160
Speaker 10: he will not be compared to doctor Martin, Luther King Junior,

1559
01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:27,599
Speaker 10: or Abraham Lincoln. He will be compared to the likes

1560
01:49:27,600 --> 01:49:31,439
Speaker 10: of Senator Joe McCarthy and George Wallace, where he chose

1561
01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:35,439
Speaker 10: to divide and target Americans rather than bring us together.

1562
01:49:36,200 --> 01:49:39,599
Speaker 1: Now, no one will ever accuse Senator Dora Drake of

1563
01:49:39,640 --> 01:49:44,400
Speaker 1: being an intellectual heavyweight but I did find it hilariously

1564
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:48,719
Speaker 1: ironic that she said Charlie Kirk was a racist bigot

1565
01:49:48,760 --> 01:49:52,960
Speaker 1: and then compared him to notorious racist bigot.

1566
01:49:52,560 --> 01:49:55,879
Speaker 2: And Democrat George Wallace.

1567
01:49:57,080 --> 01:50:00,280
Speaker 1: Also, I would very much like, and I am going

1568
01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:06,240
Speaker 1: to very publicly demand that Dora Drake provide for me

1569
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:10,760
Speaker 1: all of the examples of Charlie Kirk's followers calling for

1570
01:50:11,000 --> 01:50:12,080
Speaker 1: violent retribution.

1571
01:50:14,360 --> 01:50:15,280
Speaker 2: Seriously, I'll wait.

1572
01:50:16,479 --> 01:50:19,680
Speaker 1: This was presented as fact on the floor of the

1573
01:50:19,720 --> 01:50:24,960
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Senate and cited as an example of why nobody

1574
01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:29,120
Speaker 1: should vote for a resolution honoring an innocent man who

1575
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:32,439
Speaker 1: was slaughtered in front of a crowd of people and

1576
01:50:32,560 --> 01:50:34,880
Speaker 1: won't ever be able to go home to his baby

1577
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:35,800
Speaker 1: daughter and son.

1578
01:50:35,960 --> 01:50:42,559
Speaker 2: Ever. Again, the only.

1579
01:50:42,439 --> 01:50:46,640
Speaker 1: Violence that I've seen since Charlie's assassination were more than

1580
01:50:46,680 --> 01:50:50,920
Speaker 1: a month removed from it has come from the left.

1581
01:50:52,080 --> 01:50:56,200
Speaker 1: The guy who was shooting at ICE agents shot a

1582
01:50:56,200 --> 01:51:01,360
Speaker 1: couple of illegal immigrants as a leftist, was an express.

1583
01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:07,200
Speaker 1: He told his sister what he was doing. He left

1584
01:51:07,240 --> 01:51:15,960
Speaker 1: writings he was a violent leftist. I don't know, did

1585
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:18,559
Speaker 1: I miss? I'd like to think I would be on

1586
01:51:18,640 --> 01:51:22,680
Speaker 1: the conference calls at least for all of that violent retribution,

1587
01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:26,400
Speaker 1: at least here in Wisconsin. I'd like to think I've

1588
01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:30,160
Speaker 1: got some sway in the conservative movement here in Wisconsin.

1589
01:51:31,400 --> 01:51:36,160
Speaker 1: I did not get the memo for calling for violent retribution.

1590
01:51:37,920 --> 01:51:41,040
Speaker 1: She's a liar. She also, of course, because she is

1591
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:46,880
Speaker 1: a black woman, cited the Charlie Kirk said that black

1592
01:51:46,960 --> 01:51:52,320
Speaker 1: women lack the mental capacity to you know, get into

1593
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:54,760
Speaker 1: a school or something like that. I forget what the

1594
01:51:54,840 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 1: exact quote was, but really it was he was citing

1595
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:03,960
Speaker 1: and quoting three specific black women. Joy read Michelle Obama,

1596
01:52:04,200 --> 01:52:07,760
Speaker 1: and I forget the third one right now, who said

1597
01:52:07,880 --> 01:52:10,439
Speaker 1: I am only where I am because of affirmative action

1598
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:15,320
Speaker 1: or because of DEI. Charlie did not say black women

1599
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:22,400
Speaker 1: lack the same mental capacity as white men. He said,

1600
01:52:22,600 --> 01:52:27,519
Speaker 1: these women are saying. Michelle Obama literally said I would

1601
01:52:27,560 --> 01:52:30,680
Speaker 1: not be where I am but for affirmative action. If

1602
01:52:30,720 --> 01:52:34,400
Speaker 1: you take that to its logical conclusion, she was taking

1603
01:52:34,479 --> 01:52:37,559
Speaker 1: the space of somebody else who was more qualified, but

1604
01:52:37,640 --> 01:52:39,639
Speaker 1: she only got in because of the color of her skin.

1605
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:45,439
Speaker 1: That's the unfortunate reality and the unfortunate, unintended racism of

1606
01:52:45,439 --> 01:52:50,679
Speaker 1: affirmative action and DEI programs, because it presupposes that someone

1607
01:52:50,880 --> 01:52:54,599
Speaker 1: based on nothing but the color of their skin or

1608
01:52:54,640 --> 01:53:01,000
Speaker 1: their demographic representation. They need an advance, They need some

1609
01:53:01,080 --> 01:53:04,439
Speaker 1: sort of leg up where someone of a different racial

1610
01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:07,400
Speaker 1: or ethnic background does not, because obviously they would have

1611
01:53:07,439 --> 01:53:10,640
Speaker 1: the grades or the scores, or the curriculum vite or

1612
01:53:10,680 --> 01:53:13,400
Speaker 1: the job experience or whatever it is to stand on

1613
01:53:13,400 --> 01:53:18,280
Speaker 1: their own two feet and their accomplishments. She got up

1614
01:53:18,320 --> 01:53:19,880
Speaker 1: on the floor of the Senate and just liied her

1615
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:23,200
Speaker 1: face off. Now, I'll give her the benefit of the

1616
01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:27,639
Speaker 1: doubt that she just had no idea what Charlie Kirk

1617
01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:31,920
Speaker 1: actually said, and she was sitting and scrolling on TikTok

1618
01:53:32,520 --> 01:53:36,160
Speaker 1: when she heard about this quote fourth or fifth hand

1619
01:53:36,920 --> 01:53:42,439
Speaker 1: from some random influencer. But this is the sort of misrepresentation,

1620
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:45,720
Speaker 1: misinformation that gets spread constantly. All right, we've only got

1621
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:49,200
Speaker 1: about a minute and a half before we have to

1622
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:51,479
Speaker 1: close up shop for the day.

1623
01:53:52,040 --> 01:53:54,200
Speaker 2: Brewer's preview. I don't know.

1624
01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:57,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully they turn another double play like last night. That's

1625
01:53:57,320 --> 01:54:02,360
Speaker 1: still I know Brian Andersaid and his broadcast team made

1626
01:54:02,400 --> 01:54:04,000
Speaker 1: way too big of a deal out of it. That

1627
01:54:04,200 --> 01:54:06,639
Speaker 1: was one of the wildest plays I have ever seen

1628
01:54:06,680 --> 01:54:09,880
Speaker 1: in playoff baseball. It truly was The real story of

1629
01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:14,600
Speaker 1: the night, though, was my goodness, was Blake Snell unhittable?

1630
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:17,720
Speaker 1: That guy was absolutely filthy. And if I can't just

1631
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:22,360
Speaker 1: very quickly, why did Tarrang not take a ninety mile

1632
01:54:22,400 --> 01:54:26,360
Speaker 1: an hour cut fastball off of his knee bone? Are

1633
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:30,200
Speaker 1: you people insane? He was supposed to just sit there.

1634
01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:32,480
Speaker 1: Instinct took over. I believe he said that in his

1635
01:54:32,560 --> 01:54:36,320
Speaker 1: postgame press conference. Yeah, I'd love to see. In fact,

1636
01:54:36,440 --> 01:54:39,040
Speaker 1: I am going to set up a pitching machine and

1637
01:54:39,120 --> 01:54:42,040
Speaker 1: if anybody wants to volunteer, I will gladly put one

1638
01:54:42,200 --> 01:54:44,880
Speaker 1: right off your knee bone and see how that works out.

1639
01:54:45,120 --> 01:54:47,400
Speaker 1: We would lose Terrang if he has a broken bone

1640
01:54:47,440 --> 01:54:51,320
Speaker 1: for the rest of this series. Obviously, that is much much,

1641
01:54:51,600 --> 01:54:54,720
Speaker 1: much worse than losing Game one. Let's get it back

1642
01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:58,360
Speaker 1: in game two. The ace Freddie Peralta is on the hill.

1643
01:54:58,760 --> 01:55:01,920
Speaker 1: Retake home field vantage and get out to LA with

1644
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 1: a one point one split back tomorrow at three oh

1645
01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:06,760
Speaker 1: six pm right here on the Dan O'Donnell Show.
