O'Connor & Company

Today on the show, we're diving into a crucial conversation about the state of Western civilization, the threat of terrorism, and the future of America. From the streets of New York City to the halls of power in Washington D.C., we're exploring the issues that matter most to our nation's future.
The episode kicks off with a discussion about the recent arrest of an 18-year-old ISIS sympathizer from Minnesota, who was planning a mass casualty attack at the Mall of America. We'll also examine the growing trend of Somali gang violence in the state, and how it's affecting communities across the Twin Cities. Our guest, Dustin Grage, a Minnesota-based journalist and columnist at Town Hall, joins us to share his insights on this critical issue.
We'll also be discussing the importance of defending Western civilization, as exemplified by a powerful speech delivered by Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Athens, Greece. Rubio's speech highlighted the need to stand up for our values and principles, and to recognize the greatness of Western civilization. We'll also be talking about the latest developments in the world of space exploration, as Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin is making strides in privatized space travel.
In this episode, we'll also be discussing the upcoming elections in Minnesota, where a number of key races are heating up. We'll be talking about the Senate race between Michelle Tafoya and Peggy Flanagan, as well as the gubernatorial election between Tim Walz and his challenger.

We're diving into the world of politics, entertainment, and critter news. Larry O'Connor is back from his family vacation and ready to tackle the latest developments in the midterms. He's joined by Byron York, the chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner, who shares his insights on the upcoming elections. They discuss the potential blue wave, the impact of the Trump factor, and the latest polls. But it's not all politics - they also talk about the Cornell 7 case, where a group of young men are accused of rape, and the rush to judgment that's surrounding it. And, of course, no episode would be complete without some critter news, including a report on a cat-stealing ring in Vietnam.
The midterms are heating up, and the stakes are high. Byron York shares his analysis of the latest polls, which show a potential blue wave, but also notes that the Senate is still up for grabs. They discuss the impact of the Trump factor, and how it's affecting the elections. But what's really going on behind the scenes? Are the Democrats trying to tie everything back to President Trump, even though he wasn't president when the incident occurred? And what about the Cornell 7 case, where a group of young men are accused of rape? Is this a case of mob justice, or is there more to the story?
Kurt Schlichter joins the show to share his insights on the midterms and the latest news. He discusses the potential for a Republican comeback, and how the party can capitalize on the momentum. But first, they dive into some critter news, including a report on a cat-stealing ring in Vietnam. And, of course, no episode would be complete without some fun and games - they play a round of Critter News, where they discuss the latest news on aliens and other critters.

But one story that's got everyone talking is the potential plague outbreak in Russia. A researcher at an anti-plague facility in Siberia died after a suspected lab accident, and the White House is monitoring the situation. But is this a real outbreak, or just a case of misinformation? We'll break down the facts and get to the bottom of what's really going on.
This episode, we're also discussing the latest developments in the world of politics, including the Supreme Court's new term and the ongoing battle over DEI and race in America's medical schools.

And we'll also explore the latest news on the economy, including the release of 100 million barrels of diesel fuel from the G7's reserves.
