One Video Destroys The Left's Entire Narrative

A Tragedy of the Left's Own Making

Vice President JD Vance takes the media and political left to task in a must-hear press conference on the deadly ICE shooting in Minneapolis. On Thursday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan reports on the latest from Minnesota and presents an important exclusive: Only seven of 26 circuit court judges in Wisconsin up for re-election this Spring face opponents—including one in a conservative county who mocked the assassination of Charlie Kirk a few months ago.

Chaos in Minneapolis

On Wednesday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan provides comprehensive, in-depth coverage of an ICE shooting in Minneapolis and proves beyond any doubt that it was justified self-defense. Plus, a major exclusive investigation: Six members of the Obama High School boys basketball team viciously beat and stomp a Bay View coach, breaking his wrist.

The Truth About January 6th

Five years after the January 6th riot at the Capitol, Democrats still can't be honest about it. On Tuesday's "Dan O'Donnell Show," Dan takes down every single lie—from Trump inciting an insurrection to Nancy Pelosi bearing no responsibility for the utter security failure. Plus, Dan talks with the Institute for Reforming Government's CJ Szafir about the group's new study on what Wisconsin voters are thinking ahead of a major election in 2026.

Venezuela Libre!

Dan returns from his Christmas break and immediately gets to work debunking every single liberal talking point about the arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. Plus, Tim Walz and Judge Dugan call it quits and much, much more!

Matt Kittle fills in for Dan to kick off 2026

Matt Kittle kicks off 2026 ahead of Dan's return and covers crazy crime in blue cites; the incredible waste in government spending; the coming of "warm collectivism" with Zohran Mamdani in NYC; the "theft" of Somali daycare records; overshares on Christmas cards about friends' health issues; and the Top 25 Leftist Lies of '25.

Jason Goch fills in for Dan

In Jason's last show as fill-in before taking over the 9am-11am slot in 2026 on WISN, Jason discusses Somali daycare fraud and the Democrats' pathetic (and likely corrupt) reaction, crazy tax write-off ideas, New Year's resolutions, and more.
