14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: of a weekend pretty much anyway you slice it. Not

15
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: only did we deal with record low temperatures in Wisconsin,

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: we also dealt with a terror attack across the world

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: on Bondai Beach in Australia. We dealt with a terror

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: attack that killed two National Guard soldiers in Syria. They

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: were originally from Iowa. We also were dealing with a

20
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: mass shooting at Brown University Now, just within the last

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: couple of minutes, President Trump offered a bit of an

22
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: update on the manhunt. Remember, there was a man from Wisconsin.

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: I am not going to name him because he has

24
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: been cleared of all wrongdoing. He was never considered a

25
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: suspect in this mass shooting that killed two people and

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: injured nearly a dozen more. The suspect, he's still on

27
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: the loose, the man from Wisconsin. First of all, there

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: were two men with the same name who were identified

29
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: across social media yesterday as people were playing amateur detective

30
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: and trying to figure out who was responsible for this

31
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: heinous crime. Well, late last night, there was a news

32
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: conference in which Providence police as well as the FBI said,

33
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,919
Speaker 1: we are releasing this guy without any charges. President Trump

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: during an event in the Oval Office at the White

35
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: House just a couple of minutes ago.

36
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: You see what happens. Hopefully they're going to capture this animal.

37
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 3: Hopefully they're going to capture.

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 4: Has Cashpitel told you why it's been so difficult for

39
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: the FBI to identify who the shooter is.

40
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's always difficult. So far, we've done a very

41
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: good job of doing it with Charlie with you know,

42
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: the various times this has happened. They've done it in

43
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: a pretty much record time. But you really have to

44
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: ask the school a little bit more.

45
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: The questions surrounding the school are why there is no

46
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: clear video in twenty twenty five, Why does it appear

47
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: that there was no video surveillance anywhere on the campus

48
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 1: at Brown University. Why do we not have any sort

49
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: of description of this suspect again, the man from Wisconsin.

50
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: I believe Mechwan was cleared of any wrongdoing and any suspicion.

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: We'll have much more on this still developing story, the

52
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: manhunt for the Brown University gunman, coming up later on

53
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: this hour. Coming up in the five o'clock hour, it's

54
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: our annual tradition we talk with Milwaukee's Archbishop Jeffrey Grobb.

55
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: This is his very first Christmas as the head of

56
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Diocese, as he took over a couple of

57
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: weeks after Christmas last year for the now retired longtime

58
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: Archbishop Jerome Listecki. He will offer his Christmas blessing and

59
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: reflect on some of the horrors of this weekend. Also

60
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: in the five o'clock hour, I don't want to talk

61
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: about it. You don't want to talk about it, but

62
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: we do need to talk about the Green Bay Packers

63
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: loss in Denver. I'm not talking about the game. I

64
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: am talking about Micah Parsons being gone for the rest

65
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: of the year and very possibly part of next season,

66
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: as it is now confirmed via an MRII that he

67
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: has a torn ACL, which was just beyond a parent

68
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: when he went down in a non contact injury. Yes,

69
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: he was still up and walking around.

70
00:03:59,760 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: Still.

71
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: Remember when Jordie Nelson tore his ACL in a preseason

72
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: game and people were offering some hope that maybe it

73
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: wasn't as bad as it looked because he was walking

74
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: around on the sideline as someone with a very bad

75
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: left knee, and in fact, someone who has degeneration of

76
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: the ACL that is technically classified as a tear. I'm

77
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: telling you you can walk around on it. It's just

78
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: very painful and there's just no way you would be

79
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: able to perform at an elite NFL level. Is the

80
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: Packers season over as they also lose Christian Watson to

81
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: an injury as well as the game in Denver, dropping

82
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: them from the second seed with three weeks to go

83
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: in the NFC playoffs. In the season, they go from

84
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: the second seed all the way to the number seven

85
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: and last seed. Huh Man NFC playoffs. The playoff picture

86
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: is very, very bunched up. We will dissect it coming

87
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: up in the five o'clock hour. In the four o'clock

88
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: our truly horrific situation. In addition to the terror attack

89
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: this weekend in Australia that was very clearly targeting the

90
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: country's Jewish population on the first day of Hanukkah, to

91
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: the mass shooting which does appear to potentially have been

92
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: targeting a Jewish studies professor's class that was taking a

93
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: final exam at Brown, we also had the horrific double

94
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: murder of Rob Reiner, the legendary actor and director, as

95
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: well as his wife. Now officially charged is his thirty

96
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: two year old son, Nick, who I can't even give

97
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,119
Speaker 1: details of this crime because this is a family friendly show.

98
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: This followed a significant argument that the two apparently had

99
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: at of all people, Conan O'Brien's Christmas party. Will dive

100
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: into that in the four o'clock hour. And of course,

101
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: the only thing liberals actually care about this President Trump

102
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: admittedly bad tone deaf post on truth social falsely suggesting

103
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: that Reiner was killed not by his drug addicted, severely

104
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: mentally ill son, but rather killed because of his extreme

105
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: Trump derangement syndrome. It is also a big day in Wisconsin,

106
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: the first day of the federal trial of Milwaukee County

107
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan. This is a story that

108
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: we literally broke here on the Dan o'donnald show way

109
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: back in April, that the FBI was investigating Dugan for

110
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: helping a violent illegal alien criminal escape from her courtroom

111
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: through the jury room doors. Dugan herself, when confronted about

112
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: this by Milwaukee police officers, denied my reporting, said a

113
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: local radio guy is just stirring the pot. None of

114
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: it is true. I'm not being investigated by the FBI.

115
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm not facing arrest. Well, three days after that video

116
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: body cam video was shot, sure enough, on Good Friday,

117
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: she was taken into Custodyer excuse me. A week after

118
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 1: Good Friday she was taken into custody. We were actually

119
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: the first ones to report on this, and we have

120
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: been following this story pretty much ever since.

121
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 6: Well.

122
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: We had a bombshell piece of evidence too, actually presented

123
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: during the opening statements at trial, which were this morning,

124
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: Assistant US Attorney Keith Alexander, who has processed wrong. She

125
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: knew what she was doing was criminal. It is evidence

126
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: of intent to shield a criminal alien in her court

127
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: from the natural consequences of his actions. And when you

128
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: are a once deported illegal alien criminal, one of those

129
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: consequences could theoretically be deportation by Ice agents. Now she

130
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: faces two separate charges to April thirteenth, five days before

131
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: federal agents came to arrest Floores Ruiz. The poster was

132
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: later seen on Dugan's courtroom doors. It read, if any attorney, witness, coordinator,

133
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: or other court official knows or believes that a person

134
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: feels unsafe coming to the courthouse to courtroom six 't

135
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: one five, please notify the Branch thirty one clerk to

136
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: request court appearance via zoom. What this means is that

137
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: Dugan was preparing for the possibility that there would be

138
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: illegal alien defendants, and she was doing a criminal case rotation,

139
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: meaning the people who were coming to her court were

140
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: accused criminals that they were going not for some family

141
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: law dispute, but to answer charges of varying degrees of

142
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: severity for offenses against the State of Wisconsin. What this

143
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: indicates the fact that she was using a personal email

144
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: to send a court email to send this poster to

145
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: her court email, is that with this shows is that

146
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: she had an intent to quote, make illegal aliens feel

147
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: safe in her courtroom. Hey, if you're an attorney, if

148
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: you are a court official, if you're working for witnesses

149
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: to get witnesses here, if they are scared to show

150
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: up because they think ICE agents might be there, and

151
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: ICE agents might take them into custody, might ultimately deport them,

152
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: let me know about it, and I will take care

153
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: of it. What this show is is that she, five

154
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: days later, was taking care of it in the way

155
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: that she felt was morally correct but was legally absolutely not.

156
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: Now how did Dugan's attorneys characterize what happened? Again From

157
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: jsonline dot Com, Her lead attorney, former US attorney Stephen Biscupik,

158
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: began the defense's opening statement by calling this the most

159
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: important week of Dugan's professional life.

160
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, no kidding.

161
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: Dugan is quote on trial because the federal government wanted

162
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: her to act a certain way with respect to ICE.

163
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: Biscubic said, that is not at all what she is

164
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: on trial for she is on trial because she took

165
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: the law into her own hands.

166
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 6: She is on trial.

167
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: She faces the most difficult week of her professional career

168
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: because she chose to violate the law, and the law

169
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: could not be clearer. She faces two charges, interfering with

170
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: a federal proceeding and helping a criminal evade arrest. The

171
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: elements of the crime are remarkably straightforward. Did she act

172
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: to conceal somebody from un arrest? Did she know that

173
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: there was a warrant out there for Eduardo Flores Ruiz

174
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: to be picked up by ICE?

175
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 6: Yes, she did.

176
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: She questioned whether it was an administrative war or a

177
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: judicial warrant, and she took it upon herself to say, well,

178
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: it's only an administrative warrant. You see, under the Immigration

179
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: and Naturalization Act of nineteen ninety six. President Bill Clinton,

180
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: by the way, signed that measure into law that authorized

181
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: ICE to generate its own warrants. Because if you need

182
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: to go to a judge every single time you're going

183
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: to pick up one of the five seven ten million

184
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: illegal aliens in this country, we have no idea how

185
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: many there are.

186
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 6: You just wouldn't be able to do so.

187
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: You wouldn't be able to conduct deportation operations if every

188
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: single time you had to get a judge to sign

189
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: off on it. So ICE will simply generate its own warrants, saying, yes,

190
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: we know this person to be in this country illegally,

191
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: this person committed a crime, this person came back after

192
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: being deported. We are going to take them out of

193
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: the country. We are going to pick them up, and

194
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: we're going to prepare them for deportations. Dogan, in trying

195
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: to get those ICE agents to go to the Chief

196
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: Judge's office in order for him to determine whether or

197
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: not this was a valid warrant, again, was taking the

198
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: law into her own hands. It's not for Hannah Dugan

199
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: to determine if ICE presenting an administrative warrant is a

200
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: good enough reason to go in and take a target

201
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: of a deportation operation out. That that's not her job.

202
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: ICE is authorized under the color of federal law to

203
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: do so, and this is critical. Leftists do not want

204
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: to accept the fact that administrative warrants are just as

205
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: valid as judicial warrants in the concept of immigration enforcement. Biscupic, though,

206
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: is trying to mischaracterize what it was that Dugan did

207
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: that day as refusing to act in the way that

208
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: the Trump administration and wanted her to act with respect

209
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: to Ice. No, this would be akin to if Hannah

210
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: Dugan signed a warrant for the arrest of a drug dealer.

211
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: Let's say he's not an illegal alien. Let's say he's

212
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: just some thug from Milwaukee who's been selling crack, and

213
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: Dan O'Donnell on his radio show told the subject of

214
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: that warrant. Hey, I happen to know thanks to my

215
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: sources in the courtroom. Hey, I was the one who

216
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: saw who knew that Judge Dugan was helping an illegal

217
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 1: alien escape before anybody else. I clearly got good sources

218
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: at the courtroom. I could tell you, random thug from Milwaukee,

219
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 1: Judge Dugan just signed an arrest warrant, you'd better get

220
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: out of here. And then, not only did I use

221
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: my radio show to warn him, I actually hid the

222
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: thug under my desk and refused to allow any Milwaukee

223
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: police officers to come arrest him because I was doing

224
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: a live radio show. That is obstruction of process, that

225
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: is concealing a person from arrest. I know he is

226
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: wanted on a bench warrant, and yet I am refusing

227
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: to allow law enforcement officers, acting under the color of

228
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: the law to bring this guy into custody. That is

229
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: a crime. I would be arrested, charged, and very likely convicted.

230
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: Biscupik also said something relatively hilarious that the doorway that

231
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: Dugan ushered Flores Ruiz and his attorney out of through

232
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: the jury room door was close to the public doors

233
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: of the courtroom eleven feet and ten inches away. Bis

234
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: Cubik said, not even as far as your jury box,

235
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: he said to Judge lenn Aiedelman. He added, there was

236
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: a federal agent to the left and to the right.

237
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: What is it about democrats and their defenders presuming everybody

238
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: is stupid, Yes, adore eleven feet away. That leads to

239
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: a completely different area of the wholeway, or a completely

240
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: different area of the courthouse building, where somebody could reasonably

241
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: be expected to be able to get away by going

242
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: down a different elevator than the one the public normally uses.

243
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: That is absolutely an effort to get them to escape.

244
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: Here's another way in which Biscupic today was attempting to

245
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: mischaracterize what was going on Again jsonline dot Com. Biscubik

246
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: said there was widespread confusion among Milwaukee County judges as

247
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: federal officials began making immigration arrests shortly after President Donald

248
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: Trump returned to office in January. He said the courthouse

249
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: arrests led to anger, confusion, and even paranoia among judges.

250
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: Does this mean Milwaukee County is cooperating with Ice?

251
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 6: He said?

252
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: What kind of warrant was Ice using? Again, it doesn't

253
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: matter what type of warrant he was using. There were

254
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: also calls for Milwaukee County Chief Judge Carl Ashley to

255
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: set a policy on courthouse arrests.

256
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 6: Biscubik said.

257
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: He said there was no intent by Dugan to hide

258
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: the undocumented immigrant involved in the case. It is a

259
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: judge's job to balance the interests of all parties, not

260
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: to serve Ice. Biscubic said. There's no concealment. He said,

261
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: there's no obstruction except there is. It's a judge's job

262
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: not to help an illegal alien defendant, not only avoid Ice,

263
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: but what did she think was going to be the

264
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: reasonable outcome of helping a guy who, let's not forget,

265
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: was charged with viciously beating his roommate and his roommate's girlfriend.

266
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: After I will add he was already deported from this

267
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: country once and snuck back in. Does he think now that,

268
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: now that ICE knows that he is set for further

269
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: court hearings in front of Judge Hannah Dugan, hearings that

270
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: are public, does he really think that ICE agents aren't

271
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: just going to be waiting for him at the next hearing.

272
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: He's never going to come back, He is never going

273
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: to be tried. He is never going to face justice

274
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: for viciously beating the roommate in the roommate's girlfriend during

275
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: some sort of fight. What Dugan was attempting to do

276
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: and fortunately this guy ran off, but ICE agents were

277
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: able to tackle him after about a half a block chase,

278
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: and they were able to bring him into custody, and

279
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: he has since been deported. What Dugan was doing is

280
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: about the worst thing that a judge can do. She

281
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: was attempting to shield him, not through a not guilty

282
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: verdict or not through a sweetheart plea deal that she accepts,

283
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: which would have been nauseous enough, nauseating enough. What she

284
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: was trying to do is to ensure that he would

285
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: never face justice for the crimes with which he was charged.

286
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: She knew full well, or at least reasonably should have

287
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: known that as soon as he gets out of that door,

288
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: he is never going to come back because ICE agents

289
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: now know where he is, where he's going to be,

290
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: and will be there waiting for him the next time

291
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: he shows up to a hearing. So of course there

292
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 1: is going to be no next time he shows up

293
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: for a hearing. He's just never going to come back.

294
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: He is going to disappear. He is going to continue

295
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: to live illegally in this country, and in all likelihood,

296
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: he is going to continue to victimize more people and

297
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: commit more violent crimes. Day one of the Hannah Dugan trial,

298
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: even through just opening arguments, made it abundantly clear that

299
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: a she knew what she was doing was wrong, as

300
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: evidenced by the audio that said in which she said, well,

301
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: I'll take the heat for this. And she also had

302
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: a clear intent the evidence of that poster that she

303
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: sent herself and then put up outside of her courtroom,

304
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: she had a clear intent to shield illegals from any

305
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: sort of ICE activity.

306
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 6: That is a clear.

307
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: Intent, clear intent to violate the law by interfering with

308
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: arrests and interfering with valid process. You are listening to

309
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: the Dano Donald Show. It is classical conservatism and contemporary style,

310
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: and we'll be back with more of it coming up

311
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: in just a second.

312
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 7: Merry Christmas from the Dan o'donald Show.

313
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: Just as shocking as the fact that a twenty four

314
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: year old man from southeast Wisconsin was detained as a

315
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: person of interest in connection with that horrific mass shooting

316
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: at Brown University was the news late last night that

317
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: investigators were letting him go.

318
00:19:59,119 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 5: Shortly.

319
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 8: We will be releasing the person of interest who had

320
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 8: been detained earlier today and the Attorney journal can speak

321
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 8: a little bit about the rationale for that, but we

322
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 8: want to inform the community that that individual will shortly

323
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 8: be released from Providence Police.

324
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: Providence Police meanwhile say that the manhunt for the real

325
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: gunman is still ongoing. It's full speed ahead. Here's Chief

326
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: Oscar Perez from this morning.

327
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, we can expect, obviously our police presents. You can

328
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 9: expect us the police department continue to follow the leads.

329
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 9: You can expect with the General and the mayor has

330
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 9: stated working with different federal partners, and you can expect

331
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 9: that we're going to work extremely hard to bring that

332
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 9: person as responsible for these acts for justice.

333
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: Now it seems like it might be a little harder

334
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: than one might presume, as authorities about an hour or

335
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: so ago released new video footage, surveillance video footage of

336
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: the gunmen. It's from across the street, and I think

337
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 1: that old footage of Bigfoot is clearer than this. You

338
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: can see a guy who is cloaked in shadow walking

339
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: around with what appears to be some sort of long gun.

340
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: And now the questions are swirling. How was there no

341
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: surveillance or security camera footage from inside Brown University? How

342
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: exactly did they get the person of interest so wrong?

343
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: I recognize folks that in the early days of investigations,

344
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: especially incredibly chaotic ones like mass shootings, there is a

345
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: whole lot of misinformation. It's not even intentional misinformation that's

346
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: flying around. The example I always give was a serious

347
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: incident thirteen years ago now, the Sikh Temple massacre that

348
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: I was one of the very first reporters on the scene,

349
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: and witnesses that I was talking to, we're swearing up

350
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: and down that they saw a second attacker. Now, of

351
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: course that wasn't true, but it was so terrifying they

352
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: saw the same guy walking back and forth. Their mind

353
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,479
Speaker 1: was not able to grasp it was not able to

354
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: hold onto enough detail. This is why oftentimes you will

355
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: get in in cases of sexual assault, you get a

356
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: misidentification of the rapist, even somebody who is that close

357
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: to the victim physically the victim, because the body of

358
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: the brain just kind of shuts down.

359
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 6: It's just very, very.

360
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: Difficult to give a good, accurate, complete description of the suspect. Now,

361
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: imagine you're taking a final exam. Some guy bursts in

362
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: with a rifle and just starts shooting. You see the

363
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: kid next to you get shot in the head and killed.

364
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: The gunman is wearing some sort of mask, and you

365
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: and me mediately hit the ground and try to get

366
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 1: out of a window or into a supply closet to

367
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: hide yourself. Are you able to provide an accurate depiction

368
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: of what that gunman looked like? Now, this is what

369
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: goes on in the first chaotic moments after a shooting

370
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: like this. There's just it's sort of like the fog

371
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: of war. Again, it's not intentional. It's not as though

372
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: the Providence Police Department was trying to help the suspect escape.

373
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: The FBI was trying to help the suspect escape. It's

374
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: just that it is very, very very difficult to be

375
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: able to get an accurate to just look at what

376
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: happened in the Charlie Kirk shooting. There was that psychopath

377
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: child porn fiend, George Zinn, who immediately jumped up and said,

378
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: I shot him. I was the one who shot him,

379
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: in a deliberate effort to help the real gunman escape. Well,

380
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: the gunman wasn't found until later same thing with the

381
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: assassination of the United Healthcare CEO almost a year ago

382
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: in New York City, the gunman was not caught until

383
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: days later because it was just very very tough to

384
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: piece different pieces of surveillance footage together in order to

385
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 1: get a match on the getaway vehicle. I have no

386
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: doubt that the suspect is going to be taken into custody,

387
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: and he's probably going to be taken into custody quicker

388
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: than you might think. But it is just rather remarkable

389
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: that we did not in twenty twenty five get a

390
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: clearer picture of this guy. And yes, in a weekend

391
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: full of Islamist terror attacks and a foiled terror plot

392
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: in southern Germany, it does appear as though this could

393
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: potentially be another anti Semitic attack, as this targeted a

394
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: classroom in which a Jewish studies professor was proctering a

395
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: final exam.

396
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 6: You're listening to the Dan o'donald.

397
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: We will get into some of the details of that

398
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: horrific violent weekend when the Dan o'donald Show returns.

399
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 6: The Dan o'donald Show, we'll be right back.

400
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: Or event on Bondai Beach in Australia, terror attack on

401
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: two American soldiers in Syria, a foiled Islamist plot to

402
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: attack a Christmas market in Germany. And what is it

403
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: that Democrats in the media want to focus on President

404
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: Trump's truth social post about Rob Reiner and his wife

405
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: getting murdered by their son because we have an unserious media.

406
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 1: We will get into that. President Trump about two hours

407
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: ago did provide an explanation. I guess he did not

408
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: apologize for an admittedly bad post. I thought that was

409
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: an incredibly poor taste. It irks me to no end

410
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: when President Trump does this, because, let's face it, Rob

411
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: Reiner was politically speaking, an idiot, and he was a

412
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,959
Speaker 1: very outspoken idiot, but he was just brutally murdered, and

413
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: My Goodness the Man is responsible for some of the

414
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: greatest films of all time. The Princess Bride is considered

415
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 1: a gen X classic. When Harry met Sally essentially rewrote

416
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: the romantic comedy genre. A few good men? What else

417
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: did he direct? My Goodness? Stand by Me, My Goodness

418
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: one of my favorite movies growing up. Stand By Me

419
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: the Man was a brilliant artist. He was a very,

420
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: very good comedic actor who really found his voice as

421
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: one of the most celebrated directors of his era. And

422
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: he was killed in an unspeakable tragedy. I mean, to

423
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: be murdered by your own son in a vicious and

424
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: brutal way, as he was right alongside his wife, the

425
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: young man's mother.

426
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 6: It was just, it was horrible.

427
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: And for President Trump to blame that on anti Trump

428
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,479
Speaker 1: Trump derangement.

429
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 6: Syndrome, it was just.

430
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: It was uncouth, it was untoured, It was unbecoming the president.

431
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: It also paled in comparison to every left winger on

432
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: earth gleefully celebrating.

433
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 6: The brutal murder of Charlie Kirk.

434
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: Literally three months ago. So pardon me if I don't

435
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: think you getting your panties in a twist over President

436
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: Trump posting something boorish and insensitive on truth social I

437
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: just don't see you as genuine. Were you one of

438
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,239
Speaker 1: the ones who was laughing at all the people who

439
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: went as Charlie Kirk with blood coming out of his

440
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: neck for Halloween? Were you one of the ones posting

441
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: in great detail about how you were glad Charlie was dead.

442
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: It's like the selective outrage of these people is just

443
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: as crass and shameless as you would expect it.

444
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 6: It's all predicated folks on.

445
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 1: Them, presuming you're too dumb to remember their behavior literally

446
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: three weeks ago. But it was a violent weekend. President

447
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: Trump yesterday at the White House staff Christmas Party, paused

448
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: to reflect on the day's minds.

449
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 5: Well we begin, however, I want to just pay my

450
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 5: respects to the people. Unfortunately two are no longer with us,

451
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 5: Brown University, nine injured, and two are looking down on

452
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:42,959
Speaker 5: us right now from heaven and likewise in Australia, as

453
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 5: you know, that was a terrible attack. Eleven dead, twenty

454
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 5: nine badly wounded, and that was an antisemitic attack, obviously,

455
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 5: And I just want to pay my respects to everybody,

456
00:28:56,160 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 5: I must say in Syria. Also, we had an attack

457
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 5: in Syria and we had three great patriots terminated by

458
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 5: bad people and not the Syrian government.

459
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 6: It was Isis.

460
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 2: Syrian government fought by our side. The new president fought

461
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 2: by our side. But I just want to pay my

462
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: respects to the families. We also had three injured, but

463
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: two of them are already out of the hospital.

464
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 6: One soon going to be okay. But we lost through

465
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 6: So it was a rough It was a rough day.

466
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 6: That certainly is an understatement.

467
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: By the way, the US Army has now identified the

468
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: two deceased National Guard soldiers as Sergeant Edgar Bryan Torres Tovar,

469
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: who is twenty five years old, and Sergeant William Nathaniel Howard,

470
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: who was twenty nine. An interpreter was also killed, although

471
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: that person has not yet been identified. Also, the death

472
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: toll has risen in that Bondai Beach terror attack. Fifteen

473
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: people are now dead, forty at least have been hurt

474
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: in it, and we do now know exactly what the

475
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: motive was. The two gunmen, Sajid Akram, fifty years old

476
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: and his son Navid, who was twenty four, recently traveled

477
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: to the Philippines, where there apparently is an Islamist hotbed,

478
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: and it's unclear whether they had self radicalized or whether

479
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: they were influenced during their trip overseas. Police did find

480
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: two Islamic state flags inside their car that according to

481
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Sajid was killed, but Navid is

482
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: in custody thanks to the heroics of a bystander who

483
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: tackled one of the two gunmen. And lest you think

484
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: that this is a universal Islamic belief, there was a

485
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: Muzzlim guy who probably saved a whole bunch of lives

486
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: by risking his own life to attack one of the

487
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: gunmen and turning the gun on him. The problem, though,

488
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: is that radical Islam islam Ism, the concept of jihad,

489
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: the idea of a perpetual holy war to either convert

490
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: or kill or subjugate the non believers or non converts

491
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: to Islam. This is a very widespread belief and it

492
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: has only been exacerbated and magnified by what they see

493
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: as a great victory over Israel the October seventh terror attack. Remember, people,

494
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: even in Sydney, Australia, where the Bandai Beach attack took

495
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: place where the day after, within a couple of days

496
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,959
Speaker 1: after October seventh, well before Israel even began to contemplate

497
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: a response to the October seventh massacre, they were already

498
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: rallying against Israel. Does that sound like it was just

499
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: a protest against Israel's genocide? Now, these were celebrations of

500
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: what the Palestinian terrorists were able to do, all the

501
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: innocent people they were able to slaughter. And I dare

502
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: say that we never stopped fighting. Well, we stopped fighting

503
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: an enemy that never stopped fighting back. When I say we,

504
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean everybody Muslim and non Muslim alike who does

505
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: not believe in the concept of Islamist dominance or perpetual jihad.

506
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: And we almost had another deadly Christmas market attack in Europe.

507
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: Five men arrested over the weekend, three Moroccans, an Egyptian,

508
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: Assyrian and a partridge in a pear tree detained over

509
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: the weekend. They wanted to target a Christmas market in

510
00:32:54,120 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: southern Bavaria, the region of Germany. Prosecutors said they should

511
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: A fifty six year old was alleged to have called

512
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: for a vehicle attack with the aim of killing or

513
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: injuring as many people as possible. The Moroccans allegedly agreed

514
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: to carry it out. Officials in Germany have been on

515
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: high alert after previous attacks at Christmas markets, including in

516
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: Magdeburgh last December. Six people were killed there. In fact,

517
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: a number of communities canceled their Christmas markets out of

518
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: fear over Islamist attacks. Folks, it is undeniable that Islamic

519
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: terror is once again on the rise, and you can

520
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: point back to October seventh, twenty twenty three as the

521
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: focal point for it. And when you have dopey American

522
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: leftists going along with the calls to quote globalize the

523
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: into fada, this is what they mean. This consider the

524
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: into fada. Globalized intefada simply means uprising, and what it

525
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: means in this context is an uprising not against Israel,

526
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: but against the West. It's an up rising against non Muslims.

527
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: And unless we again recognize that the war on terror

528
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: didn't just stop when we declared isis the JV squad

529
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: and pulled out of Afghanistan, my goodness, it was just

530
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving a couple of weeks ago that you had

531
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,479
Speaker 1: a National Guard soldier killed just blocks from the White House,

532
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: and another badly injured by an Afghan who was a

533
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: radical Muslim. This is a very serious problem that does

534
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: not appear to be getting better anytime soon.

535
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 6: You're listening to the Dan o' donald show.

536
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: If we have time, unhinged liberal coming up before the news,

537
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Dan o' donald show, conservative thought,

538
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: not just talking some fun as well, Like right now,

539
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: when we name the unhinged liberal of the.

540
00:34:49,280 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 3: Day, Trough is dangerous because he's evil.

541
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: America o Christians and no brainer, ladies and gentlemen. Today's

542
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: unhinged liberals of the day are every single liberal now

543
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 1: freaking out and feigning outrage over President Trump's untoward truth

544
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: social post about the death of Rob Reiner, who is

545
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: found murdered along with his wife. His son has now

546
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: been arrested in connection with that, who was also gleefully

547
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Will discuss that coming

548
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: up after the top of the hour news here on

549
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: the Dan o' donald Show. Coming up an hour from now,

550
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey grob will wish all of us merry

551
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: Christmas and a happy New Year. It's an annual tradition

552
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: here on the Dan O'donalds show, we talk with the

553
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: archbishop for many many years, who is Jerome Listecki, now

554
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: Archbishop grob celebrating his very first Christmas as head of

555
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,959
Speaker 1: the Milwaukee Catholic Church. What does he say about what's

556
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 1: been going on this weekend as he reflects on the

557
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: past year in charge of the diocese. We will discuss

558
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: coming up in one hour, and also we will unfortunately

559
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: do a post mortem on what many believe to be

560
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers season. I'm not nearly that pessimistic,

561
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 1: but the loss of Micah Parsons is a devastating one

562
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,240
Speaker 1: and it appears as though the Packers will be without

563
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: star wide receiver Christian Watson yet again. As talented as

564
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: he is, he is just unable to stay on the

565
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: field and that is a big, big problem. Coming up

566
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: later this hour, we will get into the very latest

567
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: on what the media considers to be the biggest tragedy

568
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 1: this week. President Trump being mean about Rob Reiner. Right now, though,

569
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: let's go to Providence, Rhode Island, where authorities are giving

570
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: an update on the mass shooting at Brown University.

571
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 10: Specific enhanced coverage in Fox Point, Whales and Square, on

572
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 10: Thayer Street and on Hope Street, which are the commercial

573
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 10: districts in the area. And I want to express the

574
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 10: city's profound gratitude to the following departments who provided mutual

575
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 10: assistance in additional coverage today. First and foremost of the

576
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 10: Rhde Island State Police have been excellent partners, and I'm

577
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 10: grateful for the Governor of making sure that those resources

578
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 10: are available to us here in Providence. But we were

579
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 10: also assisted today by friends from neighboring communities here in

580
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 10: Rhode Island, which is a terrific way in which our

581
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 10: colleagues throughout Rhode Island have been assisting. Today we had

582
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 10: extra help from North Kingstown, North Providence, East Providence, Central Falls,

583
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 10: and Patucket. Many other communities have offered to help, and

584
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 10: we expect to take that help in the days to come.

585
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 10: But through that mutual assistance of our neighboring communities, we

586
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 10: were able to provide that additional coverage. Secondly, we were

587
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 10: able to provide coverage to our schools today. We did

588
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,280
Speaker 10: have school here in Providence. I'm glad we had school

589
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 10: today in Providence. We'll have school and tomorrow in Providence.

590
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 10: This is the last week of the semester, and it's

591
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 10: important for our kids to be in school, and so

592
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 10: we're encouraging parents to do what's right for their family.

593
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 10: We understand that there are probably difficult conversations happening at

594
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 10: the kitchen table right now, but if you're comfortable, you

595
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 10: should send your kids to school. The province public schools

596
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 10: are open and we have police coverage at drop off

597
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 10: and pick up times to provide that extra sense of

598
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 10: safety and security for our families. I spent the morning

599
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 10: out at our schools in the neighborhood to be there

600
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 10: for our parents, and they certainly were glad to see

601
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 10: an officer helping out. And so, as we've said many times,

602
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 10: but it's important to continue to say, we're so grateful

603
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 10: for the tireless effort of law enforcement, not just to

604
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 10: assist with the investigation, but to help all of us

605
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 10: feel safe in our home. At this time, I'm going

606
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 10: to turn the mic over to our governor, Governor Dan McKee.

607
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 11: Thanks Mayor, and just like all of us, we want

608
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 11: to see the individual that pull the trigger on these

609
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 11: young kids identified, apprehended and brought the justice. I can

610
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 11: tell you from the state level We'll continue to coordinate

611
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 11: our state police and instructed the colonel to make sure

612
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 11: that all the resources that are available are being employed

613
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 11: through the direction of the mayor. But that partnership is

614
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 11: incredibly important.

615
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 6: All right.

616
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: That is the Governor of Rhode Island, Daniel McKee, before that,

617
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,920
Speaker 1: the Mayor of Providence, Rhode Island. It doesn't appear that

618
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: there are any big breakthroughs in the investigation. Obviously, no

619
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: suspect taken into custody. We will continue to monitor this

620
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: press conference and bring you any highlights if there is

621
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: any news that's broken in the next couple of minutes.

622
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: Right now, though, it's time to get you caught up

623
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: on what was going on in Donald Trump's Washington today.

624
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 6: It's the daily Trump Day.

625
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: We're gonna win so much you may even get tired

626
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 2: of winning.

627
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 3: Tump just keeps winning.

628
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 6: It is a win for the administration.

629
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 3: It's also a big win for the United States.

630
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 6: We have to keep winning. We have to win.

631
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:26,479
Speaker 12: Moore.

632
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 6: We're gonna win.

633
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 12: Moore.

634
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 1: Second day of high level negotiations in Berlin, as US

635
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: negotiators attempt to bring an end to the Ukraine Russia War.

636
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: During an event this afternoon, President Trump expressed optimismic.

637
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 6: Oh we begin.

638
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 2: However, I want to just pay my respects to the people.

639
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, to that appears to be the wrong SoundBite.

640
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 6: I do apologize for that.

641
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: President Trump, here we go is talking about the UN

642
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: deal potentially being strong.

643
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get it solved. That was Biden's situation.

644
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 2: We're trying to get it done. And I think we're

645
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: closer now. And they will tell you that they're closer now.

646
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: We had numerous conversations with President Putin of Russia, and

647
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 2: I think we're closer now than we have been ever,

648
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 2: and we'll see what we can do. We want to

649
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: save a lot of lives. We sell equipment to NATO.

650
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 2: We don't spend any money, but we do want to

651
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 2: see if we can save a lot of lives.

652
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: US officials are now backing so called Article five like

653
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: guarantees for Ukraine's security. That offers the strongest and most

654
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:43,720
Speaker 1: explicit security pledge that President Trump's administration has put forward.

655
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: But America is essentially offering a take it or leave

656
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,439
Speaker 1: it approach because the next iteration of a deal, say

657
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: sources to Politico, will not be as generous. The president

658
00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: honoring a number of members of the federal military, the

659
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 1: US military, for their help in securing America's border.

660
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: Today, today we're here to honor our military men and

661
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: women for their central role and the protection of our border,

662
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: something that I campaigned very, very strongly on and they

663
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 2: made me look really good. They're unbelievable. They made us

664
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 2: all look good. I mean, we went from having millions

665
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 2: of people pouring over our border to having none in

666
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 2: the last eight months. None. In a few moments, we'll

667
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 2: officially recognize their service by awarding them the Mexican Border

668
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 2: Defense Medal, which is a big deal.

669
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, today's Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has signed an

670
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: agreement with Paraguay to help combat drug exports across South America.

671
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 13: We signed today as a status of forces agreement that

672
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 13: allows us to formalize a partnership that already exists that

673
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 13: we want to build upon. That allows us to train together,

674
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 13: that allows us to advance the transfer of equipment that

675
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 13: they need for their own security, That allow us to

676
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 13: share intelligence and real time, to allow us to operate

677
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 13: together when necessary and in the case of any contingencies.

678
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 13: By the way, this includes having an opportunity to very

679
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 13: quickly partner on humanitarian responses via to natural disasters or

680
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 13: anything else.

681
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: Destroying drug cartels has emerged as a key focus of

682
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: the Trump administration's foreign policy.

683
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 6: Of course, the.

684
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: National media does not seem to want to talk about

685
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: any of that, but rather President Trump's truth social posts.

686
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 1: After the murder of Rob Reiner, the actor, director, and

687
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: prominent Democrat donor and left winger, alongside his wife Michelle,

688
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: President Trump, at a post on truth Social this morning,

689
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: said it was quote reportedly due to the anger he

690
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 1: caused others through his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction with

691
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: a mind crippling disease known as Trump derangement syndrome, sometimes

692
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: referred to as t d S.

693
00:43:58,040 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 6: Trump said Reiner had a.

694
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: Quote raging obsession with him, as Trump put it, his

695
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump administration surpassed

696
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 1: all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden

697
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before.

698
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 6: May Rob and Michelle rest in peace.

699
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: At the event at the White House this afternoon, of course,

700
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: a reporter asked Trump about that truth Social post.

701
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 4: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on true

702
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 4: social after the murder of Rob Reiner.

703
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 11: Do you stand by that post?

704
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 2: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He

705
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 2: was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

706
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 2: He said he likely knew it was false. In fact,

707
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 2: it is the exact opposite that I was a friend

708
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 2: of Russia, controlled by Russia.

709
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 12: You know.

710
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 2: It was the Russia hoax. He was one of the

711
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 2: people behind it. I think he heard himself in career wise,

712
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 2: he became like a deranged person Trump derangement syndrome.

713
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:56,919
Speaker 3: So I was not a fan of.

714
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 2: Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form.

715
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 2: I thought he is very bad for our country.

716
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we will discuss that, of course, in greater depth

717
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: coming up later on this hour. Here on the Dan

718
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: O'donnald show, that ladies and gentlemen, your daily Trump date.

719
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,919
Speaker 1: It is about four fifteen on a Monday afternoon time

720
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: to help you know the difference between financial advisors and

721
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: make sense of what is going on in a suddenly

722
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: surging stock market as well as your personal finances. Sitting

723
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: in for Dave Spono, the CEO of Annex this afternoon,

724
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 1: we have doctor Brian Jacobson, who is Annex's chief economist,

725
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 1: Brian Merry Christmas, welcome to the show.

726
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 14: Yes, Merry Christmas to you as well.

727
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: So as we head into the final couple of weeks

728
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five, we probably are looking forward to

729
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:49,879
Speaker 1: what's known as the Santa Claus Rally. Everybody knows last

730
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Investors are feeling good. Half of the world,

731
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: including yours, truly takes off between Christmas and New Year's

732
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: But the big issue that appears to be moving markets

733
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: still is inflation, is affordability. In fact, yesterday during the

734
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: White House Christmas Party, President Trump talked about that, and

735
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 1: I want to get your reaction to what he's said.

736
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 2: Our country is doing really well. We inherited a mess

737
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 2: from Biden and the Biden administration.

738
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 6: We had the worst inflation and.

739
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 2: The history of our country, the worst inflation in the

740
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,479
Speaker 2: history of our country. Prices were the highest they ever were,

741
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 2: and what we're doing is bringing them down. We now

742
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 2: have inflation is totally neutralized. We may get it a

743
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 2: little bit lower. You don't want to get it too.

744
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 2: You don't want deflation. Deflation is in many ways worse

745
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 2: than inflation. But we have a record seting. We have

746
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 2: more people on Friday. We had more people working on

747
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 2: Friday than at any time in the history of our country.

748
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 6: Think of that.

749
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 2: Wages have gone up by more than inflation, first time

750
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 2: that's happened in many years. We are doing great and

751
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 2: prices are coming down, and the Democrats use this word

752
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 2: called affordability. They look at the camera and they say,

753
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 2: what are you going to do with it? Affordability? They

754
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 2: keep saying affordability. Well, they're the ones that cause the problem. Okay,

755
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 2: they're the ones that cous the problem.

756
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: Can't say I disagree with any of that. He brings

757
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: up an interesting point, Brian. You see all this economic

758
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: data and it's undeniably good. First quarter GDP next year

759
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: is probably going to be just a phenomenal number. But

760
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: at the same time, many people don't feel good about

761
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 1: their own personal finances because of how much more expensive

762
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: everything has gotten over the past five years.

763
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, prices have risen, and I think there is

764
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 14: an important distinction between inflation, prices, and then affordability as well. Right, So,

765
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 14: in terms of inflation, that is the percentage change in prices.

766
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 14: If you have prices going down, that is deflation, and

767
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 14: there are some areas where, thankfully, with some commodity prices.

768
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 14: I mean, remember eggs, that was kind of the poster

769
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,719
Speaker 14: child for inflation with the prices going up, and now

770
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 14: they're actually going down. And when we look at the

771
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 14: rate of change of prices, they are still going up

772
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 14: for most consumers. It obviously depends upon what you consume.

773
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 14: Most of what do consume its services, and that's the

774
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 14: part where prices are still rising, but at a slower pace.

775
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 14: So it does look like we're on track to get

776
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 14: inflation closer to the Fed's target as we go into

777
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 14: twenty twenty six.

778
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 1: Do you think that we will continue to have this apprehension?

779
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you've still got the impact of tariffs out there,

780
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 1: although the tariff impact on prices is far less than

781
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: I think even the most pessimistic economists had thought. Is

782
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 1: inflation really still an issue? Or do we need again

783
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 1: more aggressive right cuts as President Trump has been calling

784
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 1: for pretty much since his second term started.

785
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 14: You know, when we look at the makeup of the

786
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 14: FED and they are trying to make decisions based upon

787
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 14: the data that they have, so the vacuum of data

788
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,439
Speaker 14: from the government shutdown, they're still working through that there's

789
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 14: still plenty of private sector data sources that we can

790
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 14: look at that suggest that the inflation problem isn't as

791
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 14: big of a problem as what they originally feared. And

792
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 14: it's almost reminiscent of during the COVID era, where they

793
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 14: kept rates too low for too long because they were

794
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 14: convinced that COVID was coming back. And now it's almost

795
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 14: as though they've been too hesitant for too long to

796
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 14: cut rates because they think that inflation is just around

797
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,720
Speaker 14: the corner, because no, it hasn't happened as much yet,

798
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 14: but you just wait, and you know, I think that

799
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 14: it's one of those things where it's almost an article

800
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 14: of faith for some people that that tariff passed through

801
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 14: to inflation has to be one percent, but in fact

802
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 14: it actually gets spread across between consumers, the people importing,

803
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 14: the people exporting, and that's where when we were looking

804
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 14: at the tariff shock, it wasn't quite as a dire

805
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 14: outlook as what a lot of people are originally feared.

806

816
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: Coming up a big story about arrests in a multi

817
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: state burglary ring, including in Wisconsin.

818
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 6: But why is no one talking about.

819
00:50:58,239 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 2: You?

820
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: Remember about a month or so ago go the interstate

821
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: burglary ring that struck Mechwon and how freaked out people

822
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 1: were about it because we just couldn't believe that people

823
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: were being victim of being the victims of home invasion

824
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: burglaries in a community as nice as Mechwon. What if

825
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,959
Speaker 1: I were to tell you that three people who are

826
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:31,399
Speaker 1: connected to that burglary ring that is believed to have

827
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: hit Mechwan were arrested and nobody seemed to notice except

828
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 1: Karen Polarski, writing for gmtoday dot com the website of

829
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:49,680

830
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,919
Speaker 1: for not Santa clauses sentence clauses. Within the first two

831
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: clauses of her opening sentence, you will see exactly why

832
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: nobody seen seems to be picking up on this story.

833
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: Three men from Chile who were in the United States

834
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: illegally are accused of making repeated trips from Florida to Wisconsin,

835
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: targeting homes at the ends of Cul de Sacson near

836
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: wooded areas, and burglarizing them.

837
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 6: En Jerbette A.

838
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: Rojas Silva, aged twenty, Luciano A. Silva Ciflintes twenty seven,

839
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: and Leandro F. Pino Uribe twenty one were each charged

840
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: in Waukeshaw County Circuit Court Friday with counts of burglary

841
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: to a building, possession of burglary tools. Two of the

842
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: men are held on two hundred and fifty thousand dollars

843
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: cash bond. All three expected to appear in court on Wednesday.

844
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: Each faces up to twenty five years in excuse me

845
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: fifteen years in prison. According to the criminal complaint, women

846
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: returned to her home in the town of Delafield on

847
00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:11,720
Speaker 1: October seventeenth found the rear glass patio door, smashed, items

848
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: scattered throughout. Police say the suspects appeared to focus on

849
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: upstairs bedrooms. Jewelry cases were opened, drawers rifled through, clothing

850
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,760
Speaker 1: tossed around. The suspects took a pillowcase from a pillow

851
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: in the home used it to carry the stolen items,

852
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: including roughly one hundred pieces of jewelry. Another burglary had

853
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: occurred September fifth, in the same neighborhood in the town

854
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: of Delafield, also at a wooded cul de sac, entry

855
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: again made through a broken glass patio door, pillowcase taken,

856
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,280
Speaker 1: jewelry stolen from the master bedroom, some pieces later found

857
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: along a wooded path behind the home. Three burglaries in

858
00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: Mechwan followed the same pattern, homes bordering wooded areas and

859
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: entry made through shattered patio doors. A detective prepared a

860
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: tower dump and search warrant to identify phone numbers or

861
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:16,200
Speaker 1: devices used near the burglary sites for international mobile subscriber

862
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: identifiers were detected. Each appeared in Delafield and Mechwon during

863
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: the respective burglary time frames. Detectives learned the devices routinely

864
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 1: traveled across the country and were believed to originate from Florida. Now,

865
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 1: where do you think if you're on an interstate crime

866
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:43,359
Speaker 1: ring and you're burglarizing houses across the country. November firs,

867
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,439
Speaker 1: Where do you need to stop to, you know, sort

868
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 1: of relax, cool your heels a little bit. A cannabis

869
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: dispensary in Carbondale, Illinois. Surveillance video there showed a black

870
00:54:55,000 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: Mercedes SUV registered to a Miami resident. Arriving driver entered

871
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:05,399
Speaker 1: the store, presented an unknown country passport, identifying him as

872
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: Leandro or excuse me, Leonardo Quispe. He allegedly provided a

873
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: phone number linked to one of the four imsi's vehicle

874
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: and devices all returned to Florida. By November fourth, they

875
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: appeared ready to leave the state again. Mercedes stopped by

876
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office in Florida. Driver arrested for

877
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:32,760
Speaker 1: reckless driving, booked under the name Jose Luis Senteno, Colonia

878
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 1: of Peru.

879
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:35,399
Speaker 6: Now.

880
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: Phone data shows during the stop, several suspect devices went

881
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: to a gas station for three hours before returning to Kissime, Florida.

882
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: Clearly they were tipped off that Jose Luis or Leonardo

883
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: or Leandro or whatever idea he was using that day

884
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: had gotten busted. Thortes later determined the name was fake.

885
00:55:56,719 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: The driver was actually Injerbette Alejandro, Roja Silva from Chile,

886
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: so all the while burglaries are still going. On December

887
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: fourth in Fox Point, December fifth, in de Peer December sixth,

888
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: in Middleton, flock cameras identified a white Nissan road with

889
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 1: Florida plates as the vehicle linked to the suspects. Records

890
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: showed the road consistently traveled between Florida and Wisconsin, in

891
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 1: line with both burglary locations and the movement of the

892
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 1: suspect devices. On December tenth, suspect devices were detected traveling

893
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: together in a red Dodge Durango Leaving Florida. Flock safety

894
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: cameras tracked the vehicle into Wisconsin. Sheriff's deputies in Waukeshaw,

895
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 1: staged along forty three initiated a traffic stop northbound in Mgwanago.

896
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: Inside where the three men now charged, deputies found the

897
00:56:54,640 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 1: suspect devices the all of the cell phones that were

898
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: with them. They also found radio antennas resembling those used

899
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: in Wi Fi signal jammers, tools criminals used to disrupt

900
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 1: security systems. According to investigators, Officers also located window punchers

901
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: similar to those used to break patio doors in the burglaries,

902
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: along with multiple fraudulent IDs and passports. All three men

903
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: were identified by Homeland Security investigations as being in the

904
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: country illegally. All were booked into jail on immigration holds.

905
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: Thank Heavens, great reporting there by Karen Pularski over at

906
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: the Walkershaw Freeman. Nobody else has picked up on this

907
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: story that it's very likely that the suspects in the

908
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: Mechwon burglaries, which for one brief, glorious moment, raised awareness

909
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: of the fact that you do have illegal immigrant gangs

910
00:57:55,440 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: committing highly sophisticated crimes, and that Americans are the victims

911
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: of them, even Americans in supposedly affluent areas where crime

912
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: never never happens. That's what they kept saying is you

913
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:12,479
Speaker 1: would never expect this would happen in Mechwa. Well, yeah

914
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: you would, because the previous administration flooded this country with

915
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: people who were never vetted. They were led in by

916
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: the millions. Oftentimes they were given parole, they were led about,

917
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: and they went on their merry way committing crimes, and

918
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: we were never ever ever allowed to notice that the

919
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: crime rate was exploding at the exact same moment that

920
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: all of these people who were unvetted and allowed into

921
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: the country. Well, now people are noticing, and they're also

922
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 1: noticing that illegal immigration has slowed to a veritable stop

923
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: under the Trump administration. It is by far the administration

924
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: greatest success that the border was sealed almost instantly, proving

925
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:09,760
Speaker 1: almost instantly that it was an intentional decision to allow

926
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: people into this country by the millions, regardless of whether

927
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: they were ever going to benefit American society or instead,

928
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: like these three Chileans, victimize American society.

929
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 6: Thank heavens, though, we.

930
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: Have people like Tom Homan, who spoke today at the

931
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: White House event, trying to get people to stop coming

932
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: across the border, because not only is it dangerous for

933
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 1: people who we don't have a background check on, we'd

934
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: have no idea who they are. It's not just dangerous

935
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 1: for us as American citizens, it's also insanely dangerous for

936
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: the migrants themselves to put their lives in the hands

937
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: of the most dangerous people on earth, the people who

938
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 1: control the drug cartels who are now running human smuggling operations.

939
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 15: Your last reministration, over four thousand amiens died making that

940
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:01,439
Speaker 15: journey with a secure border are being saved every day.

941
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 15: Sex trafficking is plummeted. Vat nall has plummeted. No inspected

942
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 15: terror's coming across borders plumbitted. A secure border means stronger

943
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 15: in national security, but most important, you means saving lives,

944
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 15: saving amiens lives, and saving Americans lives.

945
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,919
Speaker 1: Couldn't have put it any better myself. When we come

946
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: back here on the Dano Donald Show, Reiner Gates twenty

947
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 1: twenty five, the murder of Rob Reiner in the media's

948
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: obsession with Trump's response.

949
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:37,440
Speaker 7: Next, Merry Christmas from all of us here at the

950
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 7: Dan o' donald show.

951
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: In a weekend full of just shocking violence, the murders

952
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: of Rob Reiner, legendary Hollywood actor and director, and his

953
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: wife Michelle might have been the most shocking, especially when

954
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: it was revealed that the couple's thirty two year year

955
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,520
Speaker 1: old son, Nick, was arrested.

956
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 16: For They worked throughout the night on this case and

957
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 16: were able to take into custody Nick Reiner, a suspect

958
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 16: in this case. He was subsequently booked for murder and

959
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 16: is being held on four million dollar bail.

960
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: The details are still not entirely clear, but what we

961
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: know is this, Rob and Nick Reiner were fighting noticeably,

962
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 1: we're very upset with each other at a Christmas party

963
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: hosted by Conan O'Brien, the former late night talk show host.

964
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 6: He now has a very successful podcast, and.

965
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 1: He was hosting a party in which the two were

966
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: just very agitated, very angry at each other. It is

967
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 1: believed they went home after that party and Nick attacked

968
01:01:56,040 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: both Rob and Michelle, stabbing themultiple times and slashing their throats,

969
01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 1: which ultimately led to their deaths Now, the bodies were

970
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: not found until much later on by someone who stopped

971
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: by the house, and the initial rapport went out. Two

972
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 1: bodies found at the home of Rob Reiner. Well, when

973
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: the ages a seventy eight year old man and a

974
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 1: sixty eight year old woman were released by the LAPD,

975
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: it became a parent because Reiner was seventy eight and

976
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: his wife was sixty eight years old, that it was

977
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 1: the two of them. Now, it was relatively well known

978
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: in Hollywood circles that Reiner, the younger Reiner, Nick Reiner,

979
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: was struggling with very severe substance dependency in his early life.

980
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: Supposedly he was clean for many many years, but had

981
01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: dealt with severe mental illness that resulted in him living

982
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: on the streets. In fact, the father and son both

983
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: did a movie together, with producing and Rob directing that

984
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: was loosely based on Nick Reiner's struggles. Now to see

985
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: something like this happen so close, I mean anytime, this

986
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 1: is just a horrific, tragic double murder, but especially this

987
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: close to Christmas time, when there were so many people

988
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 1: who obviously loved Rob and Michelle Reiner. It's just a

989
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: it's a horrific tragedy. Now, you might have noticed something that,

990
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 1: even though Rob Reiner was very outspoken about his politics

991
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: and frankly folks, I would get over the years people

992
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 1: who would send me stuff that Rob Reiner had said

993
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 1: or written or posted because he was just he was

994
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: the epitome of just far left boomer just cringe boomer

995
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 1: lib And because I didn't really connect with him. I

996
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: didn't watch All in the Family growing up as much

997
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 1: as other shows that I watched on Nick at Night.

998
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: I recognized its brilliance, but because there was that connection,

999
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: because he was such a popular actor and Meathead was

1000
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 1: such a popular character on that show, that there was

1001
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: this connection that I just never really had, and anytime

1002
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 1: there is a Hollywood actor who shoots his dumb mouth

1003
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: off about politics, I don't really pay too much attention

1004
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 1: whether it's on our side or the other, because I

1005
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: don't think that very many of them are truly very

1006
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,920
Speaker 1: well informed. There are a couple of notable exceptions. Of course,

1007
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 1: James Woods is remarkably knowledgeable about politics. That's his true interest.

1008
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: Real James Woods on X is a great follow. I mean,

1009
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: the man is very insightful politically, but you know, are

1010
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 1: you really listening to Leonardo DiCaprio spout platitudes about climate change?

1011
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: So I just sort of tuned him out. President Trump

1012
01:04:57,240 --> 01:05:00,880
Speaker 1: did not, and posted on truth Social this morning that

1013
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: he thought that Reiner and his wife's deaths were the

1014
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: result of his extreme Trump derangement syndrome, in a post

1015
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: that was widely rebuked, including by me. It was tasteless, folks,

1016
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 1: There's just no way around it. It was a tasteless thing

1017
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: to post. It was beneath the office of the presidency.

1018
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: It was beneath Trump personally, frankly, and I thought he

1019
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: was over that sort of thing, you know, like when

1020
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 1: he posted about Mika Brzynski's botched facelift while she was

1021
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: recovering at Mara Lago, and he was ticked off at

1022
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 1: MSNBC's Morning Joe, I wish you wouldn't do stuff like that.

1023
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 1: But this notion that Trump's posting something just kind of

1024
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: dumb is in any way equivalent or absolves the literal

1025
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: millions and millions and millions of deranged leftists openly celebrating

1026
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 1: the assassination of Charles Kirk just three months ago.

1027
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 6: There's not even a comparison.

1028
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: Now. Trump was asked about that truth Social post at

1029
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: an event at the White House this afternoon.

1030
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 4: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on true

1031
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,120
Speaker 4: Social after the murder of Rob Reiner.

1032
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 11: Do you stand by that post?

1033
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 2: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He

1034
01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 2: was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

1035
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 2: He said he like he knew it was false. In fact,

1036
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 2: it's the exact opposite that I was a friend of Russia,

1037
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 2: controlled by Russia, you know, the Russia hoax. He was

1038
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 2: one of the people behind it. I think he heard

1039
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 2: himself in career wise, he became like a deranged person

1040
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 2: Trump derangement syndrome. So I was not a fan of

1041
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:46,919
Speaker 2: Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form.

1042
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 2: I thought he was very bad for our country. Yeah, so.

1043
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: Objectively, Rob Reiner was not very bad for our country.

1044
01:06:56,040 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: He had bad political opinions. He made great films. Stand

1045
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 1: by Me is one of the best coming of age

1046
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: stories of all time. When Harry met Sally, A true

1047
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 1: great in the pantheon of romantic comedies. A Few Good Men,

1048
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 1: absolute classic, The Princess Bride once again, regardless as an

1049
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 1: regardless regarded as an all time classic. Regardless of how

1050
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: you viewed the man's politics, you can at least accept

1051
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 1: that he was an objectively brilliant filmmaker. This is Spinal

1052
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: My god, I forgot he did. This is Spinal Tap,

1053
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: one of the great comedies of all time, and also

1054
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 1: its sequel, which was Yeah. I watched about half of it,

1055
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 1: and it was it was just kind of sad watching

1056
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: the guys from Spinal Tap.

1057
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 6: I mean, they've got to be pushing eighty right now.

1058
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: But I noticed something today and yesterday when when conservatives

1059
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: were posting about Reiner's death, they said, you know, I

1060
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: didn't agree with his politics, but my condolences. He was

1061
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 1: a great director. You don't have to add the qualifier

1062
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 1: about his politics. You can just say I'm very broken

1063
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: up about his death, or that, hey, this guy died,

1064
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 1: he made films. I enjoyed my condolences. But we have

1065
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 1: really gotten and yes, I am going to blame the

1066
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 1: left on this one, that we have gotten so hyper

1067
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 1: focused on politics. We have gotten so tribalized that if

1068
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 1: you ever saw a Democrat and it was rare post something,

1069
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 1: actually I will give him credit. Rob Reiner posted something

1070
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:49,640
Speaker 1: and said something incredibly classy about Charlie's assassination, but they

1071
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:54,840
Speaker 1: would need to say I'm sorry. You know, I disagreed

1072
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 1: with him. I thought he was a Nazi, but I'm

1073
01:08:56,720 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: terribly sorry he got killed. People on the right usually

1074
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:06,520
Speaker 1: don't have that qualifier. Nobody was saying, well, I disagreed

1075
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:09,480
Speaker 1: with his Middle East policy, and I thought his stagflationary

1076
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: politics were or his policies were disastrous, but I'm sorry

1077
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:16,679
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter is dead at the age of one hundred.

1078
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 1: Nobody needs to post that. But we've gotten to the

1079
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: point where anybody who's sort of outspoken about politics can't

1080
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 1: even be mourned, or can't even be thought of or

1081
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: discussed in a context outside of politics, outside of the tribalized,

1082
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,760
Speaker 1: divided politics that we have, It's okay to just say, hey,

1083
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,720
Speaker 1: it sucks that Rob Reiner was murdered. What an awful tragedy.

1084
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 1: Man oh, man o man. I can't believe that the

1085
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: sun got as bad as he did. You don't, he said, Well,

1086
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:51,559
Speaker 1: I didn't agree with his politic. Yeah, obviously you're not

1087
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:58,640
Speaker 1: a crazy leftist. But in any way to equivocate or

1088
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 1: to try to compare one objectively bad truth social post

1089
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:11,120
Speaker 1: from Trump to leftists, both high profile and anonymous, by

1090
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 1: not the thousands, not the hundreds of thousands, but by

1091
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 1: the literal millions. Folks, we could see all of your

1092
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: social media, We played all of your tiktoks on this show.

1093
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: Spare me your faux outrage. Conservatives are supposedly gleefully celebrating

1094
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 1: Give me a break, nobody's gleefully celebrating the death of

1095
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: Rob Reiner. Millions of you people were gleefully celebrating the

1096
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 1: assassination of Charlie Kirk three weeks ago. Nobody's celebrating the

1097
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,960
Speaker 1: death of Rob Reiner. Trump was saying, Hey, I didn't

1098
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: like him, I still don't like him now he died

1099
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 1: because of Trump de Arrangement Center. It's tasteless, but we're

1100
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 1: talking about a matter of scale here, both intensity and

1101
01:10:56,280 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: sheer volume of hateful, unhinged tweets about Charlie Kirk. You're

1102
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:04,519
Speaker 1: listening to the Dan O'Donnell Show. It is a tour

1103
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 1: de force of truth and it's coming right back. Apparently

1104
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:18,680
Speaker 1: I keep saying that Charlie Kirk was assassinated three weeks ago.

1105
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:22,559
Speaker 1: Obviously I mean three months ago. Thank you to those

1106
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:26,000
Speaker 1: texting in at four one, four seven, nine, nine eleven

1107
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 1: thirty to correct me. Yes, it was three months ago,

1108
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: December September tenth, almost exactly three months ago that Charlie

1109
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 1: Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University, and folks, I

1110
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 1: will never forget, because I'd pay attention to stuff like this,

1111
01:11:47,120 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: just how awful both random liberals on social media and

1112
01:11:53,800 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 1: prominent left wing politicians and pundits alike were. If they

1113
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: weren't openly celebrating his death, and a lot of them

1114
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: were openly celebrating his death, they were because they were

1115
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 1: worried about the repercussions, making it very clear that they

1116
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: weren't all that broken up about Charlie Kirk specifically being killed.

1117
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: I was, well, we object to the concept of people

1118
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: being murdered generally, but we're not all that upset about

1119
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,720
Speaker 1: this particular guy being murdered, because, let's face it, when

1120
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 1: you spread that much hate, it's no real surprise that

1121
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 1: you're going to meet a hateful, awful end. They did

1122
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: it with Rush Limbaugh too, They did it with Antonin

1123
01:12:42,200 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: Scalia before him. They did it with Ronald Reagan when

1124
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 1: he passed away back in two thousand and four. As

1125
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:55,880
Speaker 1: Vince notes on our YouTube live chat, it it's the

1126
01:12:55,920 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 1: fact that social media allows everybody, no matter how shall

1127
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 1: we say off, to have a voice, and you just

1128
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: get constant stream of consciousness rants from maybe people who

1129
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 1: the public discourse is not necessarily served by hearing from.

1130
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 1: And this creates a massive echo chamber in which because

1131
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 1: the mainstream traditional media takes its cues from social media,

1132
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 1: particularly x in what the public is feeling. And if

1133
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 1: you've got a whole lot of deranged lefties all going

1134
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 1: crazy about Charlie Kirk's assassination, well that's what gets focused on.

1135
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:38,680
Speaker 6: All right.

1136
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:40,960
Speaker 1: We're going to step aside for a break. When we

1137
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: come back after the news the Archbishop of Milwaukee, Jeffrey Grop,

1138
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:51,480
Speaker 1: will join us here on The Dan O'Donnell Show.

1139
01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 6: Quick Season.

1140
01:13:56,439 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 2: Christians celebrate the greatest miracle in human history, more than

1141
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 2: two thousand years ago, God sent his only begotten son

1142
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:05,720
Speaker 2: to be with us.

1143
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 1: Those flashing lance to his sultis silent LANs.

1144
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 3: It's all full shoe and it's all right.

1145
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:20,400
Speaker 7: That's not wild love this time, it's lances at my God.

1146
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 1: Only kids style fell follow the side.

1147
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 2: In this holy season, we thank God for his infinite love,

1148
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 2: and we pray that the light of his glory will

1149
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 2: forever shine on this magnificent land on behalf.

1150
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 6: Of Milania and the entire Trump family.

Speaker 1: season through the musical gifts of the children of our

1167
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:38,599
Speaker 1: listener family. As always, that's what this season is all about.

1168
01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:42,560
Speaker 1: Joining us now to talk about it is the Archbishop

1169
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 1: of Milwaukee, Jeffrey Grobs. Sir, it is always a pleasure

1170
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 1: having you on the show. Welcome and Merry Christmas to you.

1171
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 1: The same to Dan, It's a privilege to be back here.

1172
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 1: It's always a treasure to be able to just have

1173
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 1: a good conversation. And you're always very timely and on point,

1174
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,599
Speaker 1: and so I really appreciate that. Well, thank you so much, sir.

1175
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,679
Speaker 1: That is very high praise. Indeed, this is your first

1176
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: Christmas as Archbishop of Milwaukee.

1177
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 6: How's it been going.

1178
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 17: Well, I'm not sure. I haven't received too much coal yet,

1179
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 17: so I'm hoping it's not going to be too rough

1180
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 17: of a season, but we'll we'll, we'll see. No, I mean,

1181
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,560
Speaker 17: it's a privilege I mean, just to be able to

1182
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 17: come full circle, to be here for a year hard

1183
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:26,960
Speaker 17: to believe. I mean, the announcement was a year ago

1184
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:31,479
Speaker 17: on November fourth, and installation over the days of the

1185
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 17: thirteenth fourteenth of January, so almost on the eve, if

1186
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,640
Speaker 17: you will. And a lot has happened, a lot of

1187
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:44,560
Speaker 17: traveling around these ten counties that comprise the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.

1188
01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 17: But I maintain what I've said from the beginning, I'm

1189
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:50,680
Speaker 17: the lucky one to be here, to be among a

1190
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 17: lot of wonderful, deep faith filled people who are just

1191
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 17: trying to trying to find their way through a challenging world.

1192
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it has been a challenging weekend to say

1193
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 1: the least. You have the horrible terror attack in Australia,

1194
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 1: you have the mass shooting event at Brown University in

1195
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 1: Rhode Island. You have the murder of a very prominent

1196
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 1: Hollywood couple, Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle.

1197
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 6: I mean, this was just right before Christmas.

1198
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: To have a weekend like we did the past couple

1199
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 1: of days, it's really a punch to the gut.

1200
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 6: It really is, and isn't it.

1201
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 17: And I don't think they'll hate to say it, but

1202
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 17: it's not necessarily unique either, it seems because for sadly,

1203
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 17: for many people this season, even at Christmas itself, for

1204
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 17: some it's filled with wonderful, warm meal memories. For others,

1205
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 17: it's a mixed bag of memories from past events, the

1206
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 17: challenges and struggles that can have but within families, world

1207
01:17:54,680 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 17: events that shape one's memory, that shape one's life. And

1208
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,679
Speaker 17: so I mean not wanting to put a wet blanket

1209
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 17: on it all, but it's just the reality of where

1210
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 17: people are in their walk of life, and for any

1211
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:13,559
Speaker 17: number of people, it's a real struggle, you know. So

1212
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 17: fortunately we you know, we've been blessed in a sense

1213
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 17: of having a season of preparation of Advent and the

1214
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 17: Christmas feast to try to raise raise our expectations, raise

1215
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 17: our hopes to something higher and greater.

1216
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: And that's always, ultimately what this season is all about

1217
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 1: is putting our faith in the fact that there is

1218
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: a greater world to come, that there is the potential

1219
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 1: to have the world come together in the celebration of Jesus'

1220
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:48,520
Speaker 1: birth and come together in the spirit of his teachings.

1221
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 1: But ultimately, just as we're preparing for Christmas in this

1222
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 1: Advent season, we're also preparing for the Kingdom to come.

1223
01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:01,640
Speaker 17: Absolutely, and isn't it it's that that that dual foundation

1224
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:05,599
Speaker 17: upon which the season of VANVT exists, you know. So

1225
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 17: there's the historical celebration of you know, imagining what it

1226
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 17: was like to be standing at that at that Manger

1227
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 17: scene and not neat, not pristine, certainly not pretty. It

1228
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 17: was messy and so I mean, you know, the it

1229
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 17: gives pause to reflect on the profound love of God

1230
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 17: that God wanted to enter into all of this messiness.

1231
01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 17: But to your point, then there's also the sense of yeah,

1232
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 17: and you know, we're not made for here. So the

1233
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 17: coming at the end of time, you know that sometime

1234
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 17: this in some future date, this is all going to

1235
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:41,400
Speaker 17: conclude and we're going to go home to Heaven, to

1236
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 17: glory God Willing mil.

1237
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: Walcke Archbishop Jeffrey Grubb joining us for his annual Christmas

1238
01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:52,559
Speaker 1: interview here on the Dan o'donald Show. But in the meantime, sir,

1239
01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 1: as we're preparing for the Kingdom to come, I mean,

1240
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:58,840
Speaker 1: we do live in a world where there are tragedies

1241
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:01,120
Speaker 1: like we saw this weekend, that we do live in

1242
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: a world where people are needy, not just physically needy,

1243
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: but also spiritually needy, and that sort of gets magnified

1244
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 1: this time of year. In fact, there's a reason that

1245
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:20,280
Speaker 1: seasonal depression typically hits its peak right around the Christmas holidays.

1246
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 1: Now it you know, some people say, well, it's because

1247
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 1: you know, the days are so short, and you know,

1248
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: who doesn't get a little bummed out when the sun

1249
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 1: sets at about four fifteen in Wisconsin? But really, I

1250
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are seeing so many others

1251
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: filled with joy and merriment this time of year and saying, well,

1252
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: why isn't that me?

1253
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 6: Why can't that be me? And that's that's really a

1254
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:45,280
Speaker 6: challenge for a lot of people.

1255
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 17: No, I think you're spot on and inevitably too. I mean,

1256
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 17: you raise you an important point. I mean, it's seldom

1257
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 17: is it just one factor we can point to say

1258
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 17: well it's just this, But isn't so much of life?

1259
01:20:56,360 --> 01:21:00,800
Speaker 17: You know, the compilation of struggles and influence is and

1260
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 17: and you know, variables in one's life, you know, and

1261
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 17: and so how do we, you know, be a source

1262
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 17: of blessing if we can to others? You know, I mean,

1263
01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 17: if in a sense we are those people that others

1264
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,360
Speaker 17: look at and say, why are you so joyful? You mean,

1265
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 17: how can we help to change that reality for others?

1266
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 17: I mean, just in a sense of our living and

1267
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 17: our and our goodness and our charity. You know it,

1268
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 17: if you will. It's not brain surgery. You know, the

1269
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:34,960
Speaker 17: simple acts of kindness that help to transform other people's realities.

1270
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 17: And sometimes the best place to start is with our

1271
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 17: own family structures.

1272
01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 1: And that's and that's exactly what we we sort of

1273
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 1: symbolize at Christmas time. Like not only is it the

1274
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:52,760
Speaker 1: giving of gifts to symbolize you know, God giving his

1275
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:55,639
Speaker 1: only begotten son to the world, like the ultimate gift,

1276
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: but also it's like a physical manifestation of what we

1277
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 1: can do every day, just give a very small gift

1278
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 1: of holding a door for somebody or striking up conversation

1279
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 1: with somebody. You know what I'm saying that there are

1280
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:11,679
Speaker 1: so many things that people can do on a daily

1281
01:22:11,720 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 1: basis to give just a little bit of their joy,

1282
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:15,120
Speaker 1: their light to others.

1283
01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 17: You know, spot on, And I've been actually it's been

1284
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 17: haunting me lately. There was a great song written a

1285
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 17: number of years ago by Harry Chapin or performed by

1286
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:25,800
Speaker 17: Harry Chapin and I'm blanking on the name of it now,

1287
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 17: But in the lyrics kept coming back to the fact of, Okay,

1288
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,600
Speaker 17: you know, we're helping with this food drive at Thanksgiving

1289
01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 17: time or at Christmas time or whatever, what about the

1290
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 17: rest of the days?

1291
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:36,599
Speaker 2: You know?

1292
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 17: There is this ground swell and I'm not knocking it.

1293
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 17: I mean, I'm grateful. I mean even with what our

1294
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 17: own parishes in the Archdiocese are experiencing, the kindness, the charity,

1295
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 17: the giving trees, the so many different things that people

1296
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 17: are doing. But in a sense, but it's also kind

1297
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 17: of gives the challenge of saying, Okay, you know, here's

1298
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 17: a series of days, a handful of days. What about

1299
01:22:57,360 --> 01:22:58,599
Speaker 17: the rest of the time, what.

1300
01:22:58,520 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 3: Are we doing?

1301
01:22:59,680 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 6: You know?

1302
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 17: And maybe we know and everybody's able to give at

1303
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:05,880
Speaker 17: that extent or that level, but we still have the

1304
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 17: ability each of us to help transform reality just by

1305
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:13,639
Speaker 17: recognizing the goodness and the dignity that's inherent in each person.

1306
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:16,640
Speaker 1: That's why I think A Christmas Carol is sort of

1307
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: the ultimate story of Christmas. In that Ebenezer Scrooge at

1308
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 1: the very end of the film, what does he say? Says,

1309
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 1: I will keep Christmas in my heart all the days

1310
01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:27,960
Speaker 1: of the year.

1311
01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 6: That it's one thing.

1312
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 1: Okay, you know here we are ten days before Christmas,

1313
01:23:32,520 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 1: or maybe even all of December after Thanksgiving, everyone to

1314
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 1: the Christmas spirit and give it. Well, what about a

1315
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 1: random day in February. Right, there's still need in the world,

1316
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:45,880
Speaker 1: and we do need to keep Christmas in our hearts

1317
01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: as Scrooge did all year long.

1318
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 17: No, and it's a beautiful recollection and that continues to

1319
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:57,400
Speaker 17: be a profound Christmas story by Dickens. And hopefully our

1320
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 17: Christmas resolve, that kind of attitude will last longer than

1321
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 17: our New Year's resolution.

1322
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:04,360
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1323
01:24:04,640 --> 01:24:08,599
Speaker 1: I usually make it until about mid February, sometimes March.

1324
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 6: I can do that. So moving ahead full.

1325
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,720
Speaker 1: Year under your belt as of mid January in the

1326
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Archdiocese, I mean for the church, what a year

1327
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five was? I mean, shortly after your installation,

1328
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: the death of Pope Francis, the installation of Pope Leo,

1329
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 1: the first American Pope. Have you noticed any sort of

1330
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:37,720
Speaker 1: change with the new pope in terms of I don't

1331
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 1: want to say edicts coming down from the Vatican, but

1332
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 1: has there been a change that's been noticeable or is

1333
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 1: it sort of more business as usual?

1334
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:49,559
Speaker 17: No, I mean I think there's kind of there's a

1335
01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 17: buy in now, at least my experience in talking with

1336
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 17: prishoners and perishes throughout these ten counties, the excitement of

1337
01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:59,439
Speaker 17: I mean, let's be honest, how many of us thought

1338
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 17: we would see our lifetime at an American pope, right, you know,

1339
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 17: especially from you know, from from the Chicago area. Who

1340
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 17: would who would have thought such a thing possible? And

1341
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:14,640
Speaker 17: so I believe it creates an interest and excitement, a

1342
01:25:14,680 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 17: personal connection, whether you like the White Sox or not,

1343
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 17: you know, it's it's his own personal imprint. And yet

1344
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 17: also realizing that he's not just an American pope. That's

1345
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:31,760
Speaker 17: the beauty too, because truly he has such a missionary

1346
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:35,080
Speaker 17: heart reflected in his own living, not just something that

1347
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 17: comes out of his mouth, but it flows from his

1348
01:25:36,800 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 17: heart in who he is. But I think there's just

1349
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 17: an excitement, and I really hope it's a true moment

1350
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:45,719
Speaker 17: of grace and blessing for Catholics living in the United

1351
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:49,519
Speaker 17: States to say, okay, let's let's think again about our

1352
01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 17: Catholic faith, that we have an American, you know, American

1353
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:53,759
Speaker 17: born pop.

1354
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 1: Have you seen that with respect to church attendance, membership,

1355
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,679
Speaker 1: that sort of thing has there been here in this

1356
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 1: area in the immediate aftermath of Pop Leo's installation.

1357
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 17: I don't know if it's directly linked to that, and

1358
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 17: maybe it's maybe a starting I think that will time

1359
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 17: will tell, will continue unfold, but I certainly seeing an

1360
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 17: interest growing numbers, talking with pastors and parishes, the excitement

1361
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 17: of growing numbers back to like pre COVID, thinking back

1362
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 17: to twenty twenty and kind of the world shutting down

1363
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 17: if you will for a period of time, the return

1364
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:31,639
Speaker 17: of Catholics and even young families, young people. I had

1365
01:26:31,640 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 17: the privilege yesterday of dedicating a new church.

1366
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 6: I mean, how often does.

1367
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 17: That happen in twenty twenty five? But I was at

1368
01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:43,599
Speaker 17: Saint Mary of the Hill and Hubertus, the parish church

1369
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:45,639
Speaker 17: that rests at the bottom of the hill.

1370
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 6: Of Holy Hill.

1371
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 17: Sure, and seeing you know, this church that seats two

1372
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 17: hundred and ninety nine people, and it was standing room

1373
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 17: and it wasn't just wonderful people of advanced years and

1374
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:03,400
Speaker 17: gray hair, but any babies in arms, young families, large

1375
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:09,520
Speaker 17: families that make this a vibrant living community, there is excitement,

1376
01:27:09,600 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 17: there's hope, there is promise in how timely be able

1377
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:18,719
Speaker 17: to dedicate a brand new church building in twenty twenty five.

1378
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 1: Well, it certainly is an exciting time, you know, at

1379
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 1: a time where we understand that it's a very turbulent

1380
01:27:27,120 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 1: time in the world. But also you're right, it is

1381
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:34,120
Speaker 1: a time of hope. And when you see the young children,

1382
01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:38,760
Speaker 1: and as I'm working on this Christmas special where I'll

1383
01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:42,800
Speaker 1: tell you just as an aside, sir, you get no

1384
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 1: greater joy or nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit

1385
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 1: more than hearing these kids sing their hearts out as

1386
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:51,120
Speaker 1: I'm putting this show together. But that really is what

1387
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:53,200
Speaker 1: it's all about. That's another thing about the Christmas season.

1388
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 1: It reminds us of our own childhood. We sort of

1389
01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 1: get that wistful recollection when we see kids excited to

1390
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:07,040
Speaker 1: see Santa at Mayfair Mall, or you know, thinking about

1391
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 1: their presence and stuff. I can tell you my own

1392
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:13,240
Speaker 1: eleven year old daughter has probably said at least twelve

1393
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:16,439
Speaker 1: thirteen times over the past couple I'm just so excited

1394
01:28:16,439 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 1: for Christmas.

1395
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 6: I'm just so excited for Christmas.

1396
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,599
Speaker 1: And that's a good reminder that We're excited not just

1397
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 1: for the Christmas sees obviously, but the future of what's

1398
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:28,880
Speaker 1: the gum thanks to the promise of what it is

1399
01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:31,880
Speaker 1: ultimately that we're celebrating at Christmas time.

1400
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,840
Speaker 17: Absolutely, I mean it is. And again, let's face it,

1401
01:28:34,840 --> 01:28:37,600
Speaker 17: there are many things that throw us off focus, you know,

1402
01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:40,720
Speaker 17: and again just the horrific events that can happen on

1403
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 17: a daily basis in our world. If they become our focus,

1404
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:47,040
Speaker 17: in our center, then we're in trouble, God willing. We're

1405
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 17: always working to try and curb them and to put

1406
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,599
Speaker 17: an end to them, but we need something much higher

1407
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 17: to focus on, to focus our sites. And you know

1408
01:28:54,960 --> 01:28:57,080
Speaker 17: what is the center? Who is the center of our belief?

1409
01:28:57,560 --> 01:28:57,760
Speaker 5: You know?

1410
01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:01,679
Speaker 17: And as Christians, as Catholics, if it is in Jesus Christ,

1411
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 17: then we've got problems.

1412
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 1: And toward that end, if you wouldn't mind, sir, your

1413
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 1: annual Christmas blessing for our listeners.

1414
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:13,719
Speaker 17: My privilege and so from my heart tears before Almighty God,

1415
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 17: I ask that in each of your homes, whoever hears this,

1416
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:22,000
Speaker 17: that whatever your deepest, greatest need at this point, I

1417
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 17: ask God to send those blessings whatever you most need

1418
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 17: in abundance, and I ask that blessing in the name

1419
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,120
Speaker 17: of the Father, and of the Son and of the

1420
01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:31,880
Speaker 17: Holy Spirit.

1421
01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:32,799
Speaker 6: Amen.

1422
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob, Sir, have a very merry Christmas.

1423
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 1: I know you're obviously busy this time.

1424
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:41,439
Speaker 2: Here.

1425
01:29:41,520 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 1: What does Christmas at the Grob family look like?

1426
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:47,880
Speaker 17: Well, I mean, first things first, I have the privilege,

1427
01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 17: actually I'm going to Saint Ben's community to be able

1428
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:55,160
Speaker 17: to serve some meals on Christmas Eve Day. Again, just

1429
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:59,560
Speaker 17: to be it gives you one very sound perspective of

1430
01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 17: the thing we simply take for granted. And so to

1431
01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:06,200
Speaker 17: be among folks who don't have or to the extent

1432
01:30:06,280 --> 01:30:10,280
Speaker 17: that many of us have privilege of celebrating midnight Mass

1433
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:13,719
Speaker 17: at Saint John the Evangelists Cathedral. I have a parish

1434
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 17: Mass on Sunday morning, I mean on Christmas Day, I

1435
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 17: should say, and then hopefully just to be able to

1436
01:30:22,160 --> 01:30:25,479
Speaker 17: curl up underneath the Christmas tree and you have some

1437
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 17: hot chocolate or something, but to spend a quiet rest

1438
01:30:28,400 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 17: of the day.

1439
01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 1: Well, Merry Christmas to you, sir, and thank you as

1440
01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:35,479
Speaker 1: always for taking some time to join us. We really

1441
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 1: do appreciate it.

1442
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:37,519
Speaker 17: Thank you Dan for having me by.

1443
01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:41,960
Speaker 1: He is Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob. We will be right

1444
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 1: back here on the Dan o'donald Show. Maybe we should

1445
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 1: have had the archbishop say a prayer or two for

1446
01:30:56,479 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 1: the Packers.

1447
01:30:58,760 --> 01:31:00,760
Speaker 6: Welcome back to the Dano donald Show.

1448
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:04,360
Speaker 1: Our thanks again to Archbishop Jeffrey Grobb for his annual

1449
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:08,519
Speaker 1: Christmas appearance on the program Christmas Blessing. Yeah, it was

1450
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:13,760
Speaker 1: just a bad night, bad evening in Denver, and the

1451
01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 1: final score wasn't even the worst of it. Yes, the

1452
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:19,719
Speaker 1: Packers did drop from the second seed in the NFC

1453
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 1: playoffs to the last seed. With the Detroit Lions breathing

1454
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:27,760
Speaker 1: down their necks, it's entirely possible that the Packers don't

1455
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 1: even get into the playoffs because they have got a

1456
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,720
Speaker 1: relatively difficult final three games. Of course, next week the

1457
01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:37,360
Speaker 1: big Saturday night matchup in Chicago against the Bears, who

1458
01:31:37,479 --> 01:31:41,320
Speaker 1: dominated the Cleveland Browns yesterday, and then you come back

1459
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:44,400
Speaker 1: home for the home finale against the Baltimore Ravens. Then

1460
01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:46,479
Speaker 1: you've got to go to Minnesota for the final game.

1461
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:50,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota just playing for pride at this point, but Baltimore

1462
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 1: has a ton to play for, and obviously the Bears

1463
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:56,680
Speaker 1: are playing for the division next week is going to

1464
01:31:56,680 --> 01:32:00,320
Speaker 1: be an absolutely massive matchup and the Packers are going

1465
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:06,720
Speaker 1: to be without megastar defensive end slash edge rusher Micah Parsons.

1466
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:11,240
Speaker 1: It was confirmed that an MRI showed a torn acl

1467
01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:14,880
Speaker 1: which was pretty evident when he went down in was

1468
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 1: that the third quarter? Just a devastating second half for

1469
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:23,160
Speaker 1: the Packers, who actually looked pretty good against the hottest

1470
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:28,040
Speaker 1: team in football. Denver has not lost in more than

1471
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:31,800
Speaker 1: two months. I mean, this team is just firing on

1472
01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:36,240
Speaker 1: all cylinders under head coach Sean Payton and their great

1473
01:32:36,280 --> 01:32:40,520
Speaker 1: young quarterback bo Nicks, who had a career high four touchdowns.

1474
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 1: But I don't think many people were really thinking about

1475
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:46,600
Speaker 1: the outcome of that game. Not only did the Packers

1476
01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:50,160
Speaker 1: lose Micah Parsons obviously for the rest of this season

1477
01:32:50,360 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 1: and possibly depending on how want to make sure I

1478
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 1: bring this to your attention. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has

1479
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:17,160
Speaker 1: ruled that the state must declare Catholic Charities Bureau, Incorporated

1480
01:33:17,280 --> 01:33:21,880
Speaker 1: and its Chapter in Superior eligible for tax exemption from

1481
01:33:21,880 --> 01:33:26,760
Speaker 1: the state's unemployment insurance program. This follows a ruling by

1482
01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:30,840
Speaker 1: the United States Supreme Court on June fifth, that in

1483
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:36,160
Speaker 1: previously denying the exemption, Wisconsin discriminated against the organization and

1484
01:33:36,240 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 1: violated its First Amendment right to religious protection. That from

1485
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:45,040
Speaker 1: Jesse o'paian of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Now, why is

1486
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 1: this so important because I have been talking about this

1487
01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:53,320
Speaker 1: case literally since June fifth, since it first happened, because

1488
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:56,519
Speaker 1: I think that has had somewhat of an impact on

1489
01:33:56,600 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 1: the way that the far left Wisconsin Supreme Court has

1490
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 1: behaved ever since. It wasn't just as Opaian rights, as

1491
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:08,160
Speaker 1: she opines, all right.

1492
01:34:08,080 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 6: I'll see myself out.

1493
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:13,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't just that the US Supreme Court overturned the

1494
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:18,280
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Supreme Court four to three liberal majority there in

1495
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:22,840
Speaker 1: this case, in this religious liberty case. It was a

1496
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 1: nine nothing decision by the US Supreme Court. Writing for

1497
01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:31,800
Speaker 1: the majority was none other than the wise Latina herself,

1498
01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:36,479
Speaker 1: Sonya Sota Mayor. If you're too far to the left,

1499
01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:40,800
Speaker 1: if you are too dense on First Amendment law, Even

1500
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 1: for Sonya Soto Mayor, you know you are far too

1501
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:50,639
Speaker 1: far to the left and far too dense on constitutional law,

1502
01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:55,640
Speaker 1: especially the First Amendment. This was a clear religious liberty violation.

1503
01:34:55,880 --> 01:35:00,200
Speaker 1: The state's unemployment insurance system was essentially saying that FLIC

1504
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:05,200
Speaker 1: Charities was not actually a religious organization and it was

1505
01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:09,240
Speaker 1: not exempt from going in the state's insurance pool.

1506
01:35:09,800 --> 01:35:11,560
Speaker 6: This was the wrong decision.

1507
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:16,559
Speaker 1: It was clearly discriminating against Catholic Charities because for whatever reason,

1508
01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:22,000
Speaker 1: the state insurance program did not like the fact that

1509
01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:24,000
Speaker 1: it was a Catholic charity.

1510
01:35:24,040 --> 01:35:25,040
Speaker 6: As his name might.

1511
01:35:25,040 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 1: Suggest, the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the Supreme Court of the

1512
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:35,480
Speaker 1: United States, ruled clearly aired and egregiously aired by upholding

1513
01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 1: this refusal to grant an exemption for Catholic charities. And again,

1514
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:47,840
Speaker 1: Sonya sotomayor Katanji Brown Jackson not exactly the leading intellectual

1515
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:54,960
Speaker 1: or legal lights in this nation's Christmas display. They realized

1516
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 1: that this was an egregious assault on First Amendment rights

1517
01:35:57,960 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 1: of a clearly religious organism.

1518
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:04,400
Speaker 6: Now, what I believe, I truly believe this.

1519
01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:08,720
Speaker 1: Has done is effectively made the liberal Supreme Court gunshy.

1520
01:36:08,960 --> 01:36:13,120
Speaker 1: It's not that they don't want to impose their will

1521
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:17,280
Speaker 1: on the rest of this state. Overturn whatever right wing

1522
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:23,280
Speaker 1: conservative legislation they possibly can. Overturn voter id, overturn right

1523
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:28,080
Speaker 1: to work, overturn Act, and overturn everything and anything. It's

1524
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 1: that they are deathly afraid of being overturned by the

1525
01:36:31,400 --> 01:36:35,160
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Supreme Court, by the United States Supreme Court. Again,

1526
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:39,799
Speaker 1: it is embarrassing for a judge to have their ruling

1527
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:44,080
Speaker 1: overturned by a higher court because it's a clear indication

1528
01:36:44,800 --> 01:36:46,960
Speaker 1: that the ruling was wrong, that the judge or the

1529
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:50,840
Speaker 1: court aired that they made a mistake. This wasn't the

1530
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:53,479
Speaker 1: Supreme Court of the United States saying the Wisconsin Supreme

1531
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:57,400
Speaker 1: Court made a mistake. This was them saying they screwed

1532
01:36:57,479 --> 01:37:01,479
Speaker 1: up badly. In fact, if you write Soda Mayoras, if

1533
01:37:01,520 --> 01:37:05,040
Speaker 1: you read Soda Mayor's written opinion, she says something to

1534
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:08,679
Speaker 1: the effect of there may be close calls in First

1535
01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:12,679
Speaker 1: Amendment application and religious liberty cases, this is not one

1536
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:19,599
Speaker 1: of them. That is about as polite a nice way

1537
01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:24,799
Speaker 1: of saying, wow, this court really got the law wrong. Wow,

1538
01:37:24,960 --> 01:37:29,479
Speaker 1: this court really got its interpretation of the US Constitution wrong.

1539
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:30,040
Speaker 6: Here.

1540
01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:34,640
Speaker 1: The liberals, if nothing else, who now control the Wisconsin

1541
01:37:34,720 --> 01:37:38,439
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, do not want that level of embarrassment again.

1542
01:37:38,600 --> 01:37:43,040
Speaker 1: And this, I am entirely sure is why they are

1543
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:48,000
Speaker 1: farming out the decisions on whether or not Wisconsin's congressional

1544
01:37:48,040 --> 01:37:53,519
Speaker 1: maps are unconstitutional to a panel of Circuit Court judges,

1545
01:37:53,560 --> 01:37:55,240
Speaker 1: all of whom, by the way, as we established a

1546
01:37:55,280 --> 01:37:59,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, are left wing activists, Democrat hacks,

1547
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:02,759
Speaker 1: every single one of them. Everyone was appointed by Governor Eavers.

1548
01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:05,839
Speaker 1: You've got a former chair of a county Democrat party,

1549
01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:10,760
Speaker 1: you have got donors to Democrats. These are Democrat judges who,

1550
01:38:10,840 --> 01:38:13,840
Speaker 1: of course are going to strike down the congressional maps.

1551
01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:17,280
Speaker 1: But once they do, the decision is going to be

1552
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,120
Speaker 1: appealed to the United States Supreme Court, because you're dealing

1553
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:23,799
Speaker 1: with federal issues which are appealable in the federal court system,

1554
01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:27,160
Speaker 1: and the Supreme Court is almost certainly going to strike

1555
01:38:27,240 --> 01:38:33,120
Speaker 1: down any sort of redistricting as being unconstitutional because Wisconsin's.

1556
01:38:32,400 --> 01:38:35,160
Speaker 6: Maps are not jerrymatter. There is no.

1557
01:38:35,600 --> 01:38:40,799
Speaker 1: Reason to redraw these maps. So the Wisconsin Supreme Court,

1558
01:38:41,320 --> 01:38:45,240
Speaker 1: knowing that this is a very distinct possibility that we

1559
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:48,640
Speaker 1: might be overturned again and we probably don't want to

1560
01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:51,800
Speaker 1: have that happen to us, they are going to this

1561
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:55,679
Speaker 1: panel of Circuit Court judges to take the heat. Now,

1562
01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:59,000
Speaker 1: I still do expect that we are going to see

1563
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:04,400
Speaker 1: the congressional map overturned, but it is interesting. This also,

1564
01:39:04,920 --> 01:39:07,679
Speaker 1: by the way, folks, two years ago, do you remember

1565
01:39:07,760 --> 01:39:11,719
Speaker 1: when they overturned the state legislative maps and they did

1566
01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:14,720
Speaker 1: so right before Christmas. They did it like two or

1567
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:18,760
Speaker 1: three days before Christmas, a Friday afternoon, and they were

1568
01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:22,600
Speaker 1: trying to bank on the fact that nobody would be

1569
01:39:22,640 --> 01:39:25,240
Speaker 1: paying attention because Christmas was on a Monday that year,

1570
01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 1: maybe a Tuesday, and everybody had off, so everybody was

1571
01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:31,880
Speaker 1: getting ready for the Christmas holiday. They dumped the decision

1572
01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 1: and they fastidiously avoided any federal issue so that there

1573
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:40,240
Speaker 1: would be no way that their decision could be appealed

1574
01:39:40,400 --> 01:39:45,080
Speaker 1: in federal court. That was by design. They knew that

1575
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:50,719
Speaker 1: there was no legal basis to overturn those legislative maps.

1576
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:55,599
Speaker 1: There was just none. The rationale that they came up with, well,

1577
01:39:55,640 --> 01:40:00,599
Speaker 1: they include non contiguous municipal islands. Municipal island have been

1578
01:40:00,720 --> 01:40:05,320
Speaker 1: used in redrawing state legislative maps for decades without any

1579
01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:11,120
Speaker 1: issue whatsoever. In fact, the Wisconsin Supreme Court itself signed

1580
01:40:11,160 --> 01:40:15,920
Speaker 1: off on maps containing municipal islands. In fact, even the

1581
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:20,200
Speaker 1: justices who wrote the majority signed off on maps that

1582
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:25,000
Speaker 1: contained or selected maps that contain municipal islands. The maps

1583
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:29,160
Speaker 1: that they wanted from Governor Evers. In any event, they

1584
01:40:29,160 --> 01:40:32,840
Speaker 1: did not want any appealable federal issue because they knew

1585
01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:36,800
Speaker 1: the United States Supreme Court would immediately overturn them on

1586
01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:37,799
Speaker 1: that federal issue.

1587
01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:39,719
Speaker 6: Because it's so wrong.

1588
01:40:40,439 --> 01:40:46,080
Speaker 1: This, the final acknowledgement that the Wisconsin Supreme Court in

1589
01:40:46,120 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 1: the Catholic Charities case does not know anything about constitutional

1590
01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:54,320
Speaker 1: law and has to allow Catholic Charities to have its

1591
01:40:54,360 --> 01:41:00,559
Speaker 1: exemption to the unemployment fund, is a momentous day because

1592
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:04,719
Speaker 1: it should serve as proof to everyone who watches such

1593
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:08,519
Speaker 1: things that we don't actually have four justices who control

1594
01:41:08,560 --> 01:41:12,679
Speaker 1: the Wisconsin Supreme Court. We have four liberal political hacks,

1595
01:41:13,080 --> 01:41:16,559
Speaker 1: and not particularly bright ones at that bat. To wrap

1596
01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:19,000
Speaker 1: things up here on the Dan o'donnalds Show, after this.

1597
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 7: Papa, joyous, blessed, and very merry Christmas from all of

1598
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:28,920
Speaker 7: us at.

1599
01:41:28,840 --> 01:41:48,000
Speaker 12: The o'donald Show.

1600
01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:49,920
Speaker 1: Just a couple of minutes left on the Monday edition

1601
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:53,439
Speaker 1: of The Dan o'donald Show, welcome back to it. A

1602
01:43:53,520 --> 01:43:57,559
Speaker 1: reminder that a week from today we are going to

1603
01:43:57,560 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 1: be doing our annual Ask Dan Any Show. It's always

1604
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:06,280
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It's we pause one show every

1605
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:10,719
Speaker 1: year and you get to ask me literally anything within reason.

1606
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to answer super personal questions, so don't

1607
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:18,280
Speaker 1: even think about asking those, or you know, don't ask

1608
01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 1: what's your social Security number?

1609
01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:20,479
Speaker 2: Dan?

1610
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:22,840
Speaker 6: Obviously I'm not going to answer that one.

1611
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:29,960
Speaker 1: But anything else, personal question, movie preferences, whatever, no reasonable

1612
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:33,080
Speaker 1: question will be refused. We always have a lot of

1613
01:44:33,120 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 1: fun of that with that. Oftentimes it sparks some great conversations.

1614
01:44:38,080 --> 01:44:43,919
Speaker 1: And then on Tuesday, premiering at four h six pm,

1615
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:47,559
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty five Dan O'Donnell Show Family Christmas Special

1616
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:52,640
Speaker 1: starring your children, your grandchildren. We have got dozens and

1617
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:57,639
Speaker 1: dozens and dozens of fantastic entries. I actually put them

1618
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:01,640
Speaker 1: all into our computer system to day, and what a

1619
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:06,160
Speaker 1: great way to forget about what was just a bad week.

1620
01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:08,759
Speaker 1: You know what, I shouldn't say that for me personally,

1621
01:45:08,800 --> 01:45:11,519
Speaker 1: obviously it was cold is all get out. But I

1622
01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:14,479
Speaker 1: had a wonderful weekend the family and I extended family.

1623
01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:17,720
Speaker 1: We went to candy cane Lane last night, which is

1624
01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:20,559
Speaker 1: always a lot of fun. Really, I got to hand

1625
01:45:20,600 --> 01:45:22,600
Speaker 1: it to you folks who do candy cane Lane, the

1626
01:45:22,840 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 1: folks who decorate your houses, you really took it to

1627
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:27,320
Speaker 1: New Heights this year. We've been going every year for

1628
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:29,960
Speaker 1: years and years and years decades, and this was one

1629
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:32,600
Speaker 1: of the better light displays I have seen out of

1630
01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:34,920
Speaker 1: Candy Cane Lane. We went right after the Packer game,

1631
01:45:34,960 --> 01:45:37,400
Speaker 1: which was probably smart because.

1632
01:45:37,080 --> 01:45:39,639
Speaker 6: We were like the only people there.

1633
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:43,160
Speaker 1: I think the cold and the depression after losing Micah

1634
01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:46,559
Speaker 1: Parsons and losing to the Broncos probably kept people away.

1635
01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:49,920
Speaker 1: But I had a great weekend, I really did. I

1636
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:52,320
Speaker 1: had a wonderful time coaching soccer and everything else, but

1637
01:45:52,520 --> 01:45:55,000
Speaker 1: just the events of the world can kind of weigh

1638
01:45:55,080 --> 01:46:00,559
Speaker 1: you down. And this morning listening to little did sing

1639
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:03,559
Speaker 1: their hearts out at folks, I can't wait for you

1640
01:46:03,680 --> 01:46:08,280
Speaker 1: to hear some of just the incredible talent that we

1641
01:46:08,439 --> 01:46:12,840
Speaker 1: have in our listener family. I could not believe the

1642
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:16,000
Speaker 1: voices on some of these kids, and I could not

1643
01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:20,800
Speaker 1: believe how cute some of our littlest performers were. It

1644
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:24,040
Speaker 1: is going to be a heartwarming show that is going

1645
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:31,120
Speaker 1: to air this coming Tuesday week from tomorrow, December twenty third,

1646
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:34,200
Speaker 1: and then it is going to re air as part

1647
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:38,880
Speaker 1: of the WISN Christmas programming. And let me see, I've

1648
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:41,080
Speaker 1: got this schedule. I had the schedule right in front

1649
01:46:41,080 --> 01:46:44,080
Speaker 1: of me. Here we go, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day,

1650
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:50,200
Speaker 1: sandwiched in between Christmas music and classic radio performances of

1651
01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:53,960
Speaker 1: It's a Wonderful Life, a Christmas Carol, and Miracle on

1652
01:46:54,120 --> 01:46:55,280
Speaker 1: thirty fourth Street.

1653
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 6: We are going to.

1654
01:46:56,439 --> 01:47:01,080
Speaker 1: Air the Dan O'Donnell's show Family Christmas Special Christmas Eve.

01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:22,320
Speaker 1: December twenty fifth, obviously Christmas Day, and again seven pm

1659
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:26,559

Speaker 6: All right, so lend me.

1661
01:47:29,320 --> 01:47:31,720
Speaker 1: Your chances to listen, and also it is going to

1662
01:47:31,720 --> 01:47:34,880
Speaker 1: be available as a standalone podcast. I am going to

1663
01:47:35,360 --> 01:47:39,200
Speaker 1: send that to each and every family who submitted entries,

1664
01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:42,040
Speaker 1: kind of give you an idea where your kid is

1665
01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:45,040
Speaker 1: going to be in the show, but definitely tell everybody

1666
01:47:45,080 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 1: to be listening four pm Wednesday, December twenty third. The

1667
01:47:50,240 --> 01:47:52,720
Speaker 1: four o'clock and five o'clock hours are going to be

1668
01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:55,640
Speaker 1: the Dan O'Donnell Show Family Christmas Special. So it's just

1669
01:47:55,720 --> 01:48:04,080
Speaker 1: an unbelievably uplifting morning for me. Personally listening to all

1670
01:48:04,160 --> 01:48:09,639
Speaker 1: of your kids and grandkids performing, and trust me, folks,

1671
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:12,080
Speaker 1: I needed it to take my mind off of my

1672
01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:18,720
Speaker 1: good I just I'm so not disappointed because I expected this,

1673
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:24,200
Speaker 1: But with Rob Reiner's murder, I was sort of hoping

1674
01:48:24,320 --> 01:48:28,040
Speaker 1: that the focus was going to be on severe mental illness,

1675
01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:32,559
Speaker 1: which his son Nick was rather obviously suffering from. I mean,

1676
01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:38,080
Speaker 1: his struggles were apparently well documented. I did not particularly

1677
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:42,280
Speaker 1: know anything about this until obviously the story broke that

1678
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:45,599
Speaker 1: it was very likely Nick Reiner who killed his father

1679
01:48:45,720 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 1: and mother stepmother in any event, but of course the

1680
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:54,679
Speaker 1: media has to turn the focus immediately to President Trump's

1681
01:48:54,720 --> 01:48:58,879
Speaker 1: admittedly bad truth social post, as though we all didn't

1682
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 1: see how gool liberals by the millions behaved in the

1683
01:49:03,439 --> 01:49:06,120
Speaker 1: wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I was sort

1684
01:49:06,160 --> 01:49:11,240
Speaker 1: of hoping, obviously this was not a political vendetta killing

1685
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:14,559
Speaker 1: like the Charlie Kirk one was, but that this was

1686
01:49:14,640 --> 01:49:18,640
Speaker 1: someone who was deeply, deeply, deeply troubled and who just

1687
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:23,320
Speaker 1: never got the help that he rather obviously needed until

1688
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:26,479
Speaker 1: it was far too late and he had done something

1689
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:28,679
Speaker 1: unforgivable that's going to land him in prison.

1690
01:49:28,760 --> 01:49:29,759
Speaker 6: For the rest of his life.

1691
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,920
Speaker 1: Alas, we will not be able to have that discussion

1692
01:49:33,040 --> 01:49:35,759
Speaker 1: because we have to what else?

1693
01:49:35,960 --> 01:49:36,679
Speaker 6: Talk about Trump?
