Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. Uh, man, you have to say it was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacy is violence. It is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. It's a breakfast club, bitches!

All right, Charmaine, please tell me why was I your donkey of the day? Well, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, January 28th, goes to a few individuals. I'm gonna throw some names out there. Matthew Huddle, he's 42 years old, he's from Hobart, Indiana. Daniel Charles Ball, he's from Florida. Andrew Take, he's 36 from Houston, Texas. What do all these people have in common? They were all part of the militia known as vanilla ISIS. Yes, they are all insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6th. And they were all pardoned last week by president Trump.

Why am I bringing this up today? Because we just had a Vic Ramaswamy on breakfast club last hour. He just recently left the Trump administration. Our got pushed out depending on who you asked. And we were discussing these insurrectionists. All right, full disclosure, we had pre-taped interviews. So the day before is when we talked to Bevec. So a couple of these stories actually came out yesterday afternoon.

In the case of Daniel Charles Ball, that was the one I referenced during the Bevec interview. But I brought it up because there was no reason to do a blanket pardon of everyone on January 6. No reason for President Trump to do that because some of these people were criminals before January 6th. Okay. Daniel Charles Ball was arrested for his role in January 6th. He entered the Capitol and broke a window shutter through a device at law enforcement officers that exploded.

But he also has an outstanding has an outstanding warrant in Florida and was re-arrested last week for a federal gun charge. Okay. Andrew Take attacked police with bear spray and a metal whip He has an unresolved charge of soliciting a minor and Matthew huddle. Well Matthew is dead ladies and gentlemen. Okay deceased Jesus. Yeah, he has vacated his earthly meat prison I know you're sitting around like uncle Charlotte. Why would you ever give a dead man donkey today? Well, it is possible to die dumb and I want to reiterate that Matthew was one of the insurrectionists who was pardoned by President Trump

The FBI said he was at the Capitol for several hours during the riots and entered the building for approximately 10 minutes He was sentenced to six months in federal prison and 12 months on supervised release But according to the Indiana State Police Criminal Investigations Division He was pulled over by the Jasper County Sheriff's Department for a traffic stop, and he was allegedly resisting arrests. You don't say a Capitol riot rider has had zero respect for law enforcement and resisted arrest?

No. Let's go to NBC News for the report, please. Obertman recently pardoned by President Trump for storming the Capitol on January 6th, was shot and killed by an Indiana sheriff's deputy yesterday afternoon. This happened during a traffic stop. The police account of what happened is that the deputy pulled over 42-year-old Matthew Huddle on State Road 14 near the Jasper County line around 415 in the afternoon.

When the deputy tried to arrest Hududdle they say he resisted there was an altercation that led to the deputy firing his gun killing huddle police go on to say that huddle had a gun but it's unclear what led up to that shooting now huddle was just pardoned days ago for a misdemeanor related to the 2021 capital riot he was originally sentenced to six months in federal prison once again a capital riot rioter at zero respect for law enforcement and resisted arrest? Listen, I'm just here to give people the credit they deserve for being stupid.

And I'm here to inform y'all, you're making your president look bad. Now I know folks don't listen to vice presidents. We learned that very well during the last administration, but JD Vance said something that made a lot of sense in regards to the January 6th parties. It was very logical. Listen It's very simple

Look if you protested peacefully on January the 6th and you've had Merrick Garland's Department of Justice treat you like a gang member You should be pardoned if you committed violence on that day Obviously, you shouldn't be pardoned and there's a little bit of a gray area there But we're very much committed to seeing the equal administration of law. And there are a lot of people we think in the wake of January the 6th who were prosecuted unfairly. We need to rectify that. What the president said consistently on the campaign is that he was going to look at a

case by case basis. And that's exactly what we did. Yes, pardons should be done on a case by case basis. And these three cases, I just named to some of those, you know of those you know cases. Alright number one Daniel and Andrew were both violent towards police. That should disqualify them for a pardon according to JD Vance. I agree. Okay second Andrew was out here allegedly soliciting minors online and Daniel had a federal gun charge and got rearrested soon as he was released. Okay if Trump would have done these pardons on a case by case basis like his

vice president said he would have seen that and made the right released. Okay, if Trump would have done these pardons on a case by case basis, like his vice president said, he would have seen that and made the right decision. Okay, Matthew Huddle, I hate that you lost your life to law enforcement. They said allegedly you was resisting arrest. You had a gun. It's hard to give you the benefit of the doubt because we saw how these domestic terrorists known as vanilla ISIS treated law enforcement on January 6th. I'm honestly shocked. Y'all didn't get shot and killed then... no I'm not. Of course, of course, you had the complexion for the protection. All right, the things more often than not tend to work out but clearly they didn't work out this time for you because you're dead. Look, all the insurrectionist

capital rioters please understand that double jeopardy in your case isn't the second round, okay, on the game show. All right, nor does it give you a second chance to break the law i just want to make people aware of who these people are who got these pardons let's go back to mbc news for that report please this is probably the trickle of stories we're going to get on january 6 going forward it'll be about people who committed other crimes outside of this because remember while there were certainly a lot of people who stormed the capital on january 6 and and didn't have a like a long criminal record and might even have no criminal record at all and were

upstanding citizens otherwise according to their neighbors, there was this whole contingent of these January 6 rioters who had some really awful criminal histories behind them. Domestic abuse, really ugly assaults on their partners and wives, child molestation cases, you know, these DUI cases. There's a lot of drug problems, a lot of alcohol problems, and now I think some of these January 6 prosecutors are wondering, you know, what's going to be the next story to drop? Yeah, they dropping. Just remember, everything Trump is doing, America gave him the power to do. Okay, he was voted in as president and he has full control of government.

All three branches of government. So everything he's doing he has the constitutional right to do. Doesn't mean it's right. But sadly, it's the American way. Please give Matthew Huddle, Daniel Charles Ball and Andrew Take the biggest he-haw. He-haw. He-haw. Matter of fact, let Kathy Griffin give him the biggest he-haw.

Please give this giant jar of mail the biggest he-haw. Yeah, the mayonnaise was heavy on those stores. Mm-hmm. Yes. That is crazy. Mm-hmm. I want them trapped before it's funeral. Mm.

I doubt it. I doubt it, too. Yeah, me too. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed. Donkey of the Day is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney Michael the Bull Lamonsoff. Don't be a donkey when you need a fighter on your side.
