Jessica McBride fills in for Dan

Jessica McBride fills in for Dan O'Donnell on The Dan O'Donnell Show, delivering a high-energy, politically charged commentary on national and Wisconsin-specific issues. She opens with the firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi by Donald Trump, critiquing Bondi’s lack of notable achievements and exploring allegations of her leaking FBI information to Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell, as well as her handling of the Epstein files. McBride then shifts focus to Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers’ controversial veto of multiple bills, including those restricting transgender athletes, protecting parental rights in schools, and banning gender transition surgeries for minors. She argues these vetoes undermine youth protection and parental authority, painting Evers as out of touch with public sentiment. The segment continues with a sharp critique of liberal media and political figures like Mandela Barnes and Gwen Moore for their knee-jerk reactions to ICE detaining Salah Sarsour, a Milwaukee-based Islamic Society president linked to the controversial group American Muslims for Palestine. McBride urges restraint and fact-based reporting, highlighting the group’s alleged ties to Hamas. She also discusses the criminal case of an illegal immigrant in Fond du Lac County and criticizes Wisconsin’s current Attorney General Josh Call for inaction and unresponsiveness. The show closes with a deep dive into the upcoming Waukesha County mayoral races, framing them as critical battlegrounds in a broader conservative pushback against liberal encroachment, and features a live interview with Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany, who outlines his affordability-focused platform, including ending vehicle emissions tests, eliminating taxes on tips and overtime, and opposing utility rate hikes driven by Evers’ appointees. The episode ends on a hopeful note with praise for NASA’s Artemis mission and a recommendation for the film 'Hail Mary Project'.
