DDD Presents: Face to Face with Dion and Shawn (and a special guest) Conspiracy Theory: The Titanic: Horrible Accident or Part of a Larger Plan? There have been rumors circulating for years about how the sinking of the Titanic was intentional, how there were certain passengers aboard that were critical to maintain our economic independence in this country (USA) and we're going to look into them. Are they full of it? Or is there a deeper story underneath it all? #DionsDailyDose #Titanic #Conspiracy

Dion's Daily Dose Presents: Timeline of a Tyrant A new series that exposes the tyrants in our government, informs the population, and presents clear examples of overstepping boundaries, unconstitutional acts, and power trips. The first entry in the series is our (least) favorite La Porte County Commissioner, Connie Gramarrosa, from District 1. Episode One of the new series is going to focus on voter registration, Gramarossa's unprompted (and unwanted) move of the voter registration office to an off-site location, the problems this has caused for the office, and her general demeanor when interacting with department heads, her fellow Commissioners, and the public. We have plenty of video to work with. I hope you're as excited for this as I am. This presentation has been needed for quite a while, but I'm hoping we can have some fun along the way, so we'll top it off with a presentation of community-created memes celebrating her incredible contributions to La Porte County! #LaPorteCounty #MichiganCityIndiana #LaPorteIndiana #TimelineOfATyrant #DDD #DionsDailyDose

DDD Presents: Face to Face: Dion & Liz Liz joins Dion in-studio for a frank discussion about La Porte County politics, some accusatory mailers that have gone out, and some little known facts about the individuals contained in them.

On May 2nd, 2024, the La Porte County Election Board had a special meeting. At this meeting, the board had some inquiries about the Campaign Finance Reports of 2 candidates: Mike Rosenbaum and Martin Smith. We had Liz Bergeron at the meeting, and Dion watched it on YouTube later. Let's dive in!

Dion's Daily Dose Presents: Coffee Break Every Wednesday Morning at 8 AM Central May 1st, 2024 (Rescheduled) Topic: III%'ers. What does that even mean? Who is a part of something like that? Are they dangerous? Are they evil? Are they insurrectionists? It's complicated. Let's dive in! Dion Bergeron and James "Jim" Orrell are the hosts of Coffee Break. A weekly show where two lifelong friends and Michigan City residents share their perception of their city, current events, and motorcycle culture. If you'd like to communicate with the show, email Talk@DionBergeron.com or join the conversation live on Facebook, YouTube, Rumble, or X (Twitter).

#DDD Presents Face to Face with Dion & Shawn Episode 17: Trump's Plans to Reform the Federal Reserve A plan was showcased by the media alleging that it came from the camp of President Trump and his campaign. Although the Trump team won't comment on the plan, we decided to look into it and analyze what it really says, and what that could mean, should President Trump win in November. The article we reference in the video is linked below: https://thehill.com/business/4624880-trump-second-term-fed-powell-potential-plan/ If you'd like to support the channel, visit our Patreon at Patreon.com/DionsDailyDose

Face to Face: Dion and Shawn break down the arguments in front of the SCOTUS in the case of Johnson vs. Grants Pass, the lawsuit involving the criminalization of homeless by assigning fines. Although the city of Grant's Pass calls it a ban on "camping", many have spoken out against it, and are eagerly watching the outcome of this case. This case could have far-reaching consequences for cities looking to combat the (record-breaking) homeless problem, as well as those unfortunate enough to find themselves at the mercy of these fines.

DDD Presents: Face to Face: Dion and Shawn are joined by Shawn's brother Ben Holmgren. Together they discuss the recent Pew Reseach Polls showing some interesting data. Ben has gathered the data but Dion and Shawn haven't looked at it yet. Join us tonight to react with them.

Join #DDD on Monday, April 29, 2024 at 7 PM Central Time to meet Spencer England, Candidate for Indiana State Senate, District 8. Spencer England is a well-known figure in La Porte County. He has previously run for Mayor of the city of LaPorte, Indiana, and has been a very vocal opponent of the far left and their radical policies. He's a veteran, having served in the US Army from 2000 to 2018, and campaigns on America First MAGA policies. We'll sit down with Spencer and find out what makes him tick. We'll go beyond the sensational stories and sound bites and present the opportunity to get to know the man behind the campaign. We ask all of our candidates to send us a bio, and here is what we were sent: "I'm an America First MAGA Republican running for Indiana Senate District 8 which includes LaPorte, Starke, Marshall, and a small part of St Joseph County. I'm married to a wonderful gal (Erica). We have five girls. We are practicing Christians focusing on First Century Worship. We homeschool our two little girls, and our high schooler attends public school. children I'm a big advocate of school choice.

Is La Porte County Haunted? Let's find out! Shifting away from politics and into interesting, we're joined by a local paranormal investigation team. Rob and Chey comprise Ghost Cast: The Haunt and they're joining us tonight for a look into what they do. Dion has had his own paranormal experiences, and has briefly covered them during his videos in the past, but here we have a dedicated team that looks into local hot spots and rumors of activity. A few of our team members have seen programs before such as the ones Rob mentions below, but there aren't many professionals in the area that we're aware of, so we were very excited to learn about this pair and their passion for a subject that we feel just doesn't get enough attention. We hope that you're as excited as we are to dive in to this interview and, as always, send any questions to Talk@DionBergeron.com *From Ghost Cast: The Haunt Team: I'm Rob and I am 37 years old. I am a father to an amazing 15 year old daughter and boyfriend to an amazing girl, Chey.. Also she is a crucial part of the Ghost Cast team in succeeding to finding truth of the paranormal. I have always had a interest in the paranormal. Watching everything from the Syfy show "Ghost Hunters", Ghost Adventures and various youtube channels. Also having an interest in the weird and unknown such as cryptids. Finally at this point in my life I am able to start investigating and searching for the truth myself. I hope whatever we may find on our adventures we can share with you. Hi, can I interest you in a witty yet ridiculous comment? I’m Cheyenne, also known as Chey, and I was raised my entire life in Northwest Indiana and I’m a self published author with the help of Amazon books. I design my own tattoos and my own artworks on canvas and paper. I’m a lover of all things horror, spooky, and paranormal- with the Scream and Child’s Play franchises being my absolute favorites and a lover of the Friends TV Show.. Ghost Hunting and exploring abandoned buildings is one of my favorite hobbies especially when I get to research the history about the location and any spiritual possibilities.* To learn more about the Ghost Cast: The Haunt team and what they do, visit them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/GhostCastTheHaunt or check out their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/Ghostog87 Standard Disclaimer: Appearance on #DionsDailyDose does not imply endorsement from or by any candidate or guest.

Dion's Daily Dose Presents: Face to Face: Dion & Shawn The Indiana Debate Commission is holding the third (and final) debate on Tuesday, April 23rd at 6 PM Central time. Dion and Shawn will be livestreaming the debate, as well as offering commentary and impressions of the candidates. With a HUGE number of voters still undecided, this could be anyone's election. The previous debate was only open to a few of the 6 candidates, excluding both Curtis Hill and Jamie Reitenour. This final debate is open to all of the candidates, though there is speculation as to whether or not Senator Braun will be able to make the event (due to Senate session). No matter who makes it, #DDD will be streaming it, and bringing you our thoughts. See you soon!

Today, La Porte County Commissioner Connie Gramarossa went onto WIMS and began an hour long diatribe against her perceived political opponents, both of whom are Republicans (the same party she purports to be a member of). Aside from the numerous mispronunciations and outright lies, what's really stunning is the vitriol and sheer stupidity at work here. Let's Jump In!

Dion's Daily Dose Presents: Face to Face with Dion and Shawn for April 21st, 2024. Today's topics include: Mystery death of Clinton Airport Executive. ATF raids home and conveniently, doesn't have bodycam footage, despite that being the policy. Cities across the country are experiencing record levels of homelessness. Their plan? Fine them. Nyla Rose, AEW Trans wrestler, told NOT to compete in Oklahoma. During last night's stream, we came across some very concerning information in the JAG docket for the US Air Force (via the US Space Force website). We're going to check other branches and see what we can find there.

DDD Presents: Face to Face with Dion and Shawn for April 20th, 2024 Tonight's topics include: We're sending even more money to Ukraine, Israel, and more. Again. What's in this bill? Which Republicans voted for this? Hacker group claims they have acquired a quarter of a million documents from the Israeli Defense Force. Did they? What are on these documents? What are they going to do with them? Democrats now have the majority in Michigan again after a special election. What does this mean for us here in Indiana? Israel attacks Iraq. Is this the line in the sand? Is it going to spark a huge conflict? Are sides being chosen? Are we funding this? Rep. Mrvan (IN D1) is outraising his potential Republican challengers by leaps and bounds. Where is the money coming from? We answer this and a whole lot more. We haven't decided on the Conspiracy Theory topic yet, but be assured that there will be one.

Join #DDD for a breakdown of the La Porte County Commissioner's Meeting from 4/17. Yes, it's a little late. Important information, though. What are our tax dollars being used for? What is an "Amnimal"? What is a "Pledge Allegiance"? Where did the missing Of go? What's a "Fift"? Entertainment at its finest.

Join #DDD on Wednesday, April 17th, 2024 to meet Micah Beckwith, Candidate(R) for Lieutenant Governor of the state of Indiana. Micah Beckwith is breaking with convention, independently running for an office that has traditionally been a "gimme", as the tradition for a long time has been for the Primary winning Governor candidate to choose a running mate, and the convention just votes them in. No one campaigns for Lt. Governor. Micah Beckwith does. He has organized a full independent grass roots campaign for the second in command of the state of Indiana. Why? We'll ask him this, along with other questions, including any you send to Talk@DionBergeron.com as we get to know this unconventional candidate. We ask all of our guests to send us a bio. Here's what we were sent: "Micah has been serving the Hamilton County and Central Indiana areas for more than 17 years. Micah has pastored multiple churches in Central Indiana including White River Christian Church in Noblesville, Northview Church which has multiple locations throughout Central Indiana, and currently pastoring at Life Church in Noblesville. He has also been a small business owner since 2005, owning several companies, including a promotional production company and entertainment group. Micah ran for Congress in 2020 and is not serving as the director of the Indiana Family Institute's Hoosier Leadership Series, an organization dedicated to raising up conservative leaders within local, state and federal government. Micah currently teaches a high school constitutional literacy class at Wisdom Builders Christian School in Carmel, Indiana. With his deep understanding of American history and his boldness, Micah has quickly become one of Indiana's most prominent conservative voices. Along with being a frequent guest on Indy's largest talk radio station, WIBC, he currently works with Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA, inspiring pastors around the country to reengage the political arena with the Gospel. He attended Huntington University, graduating with Economics and Finance majors, and a minor in Small Business Entrepreneurship. With a deep understanding of American History, Micah is answering the call to defend true constitutional values ensuring that our children and grandchildren will continue to have a home where freedom and liberty reign. Micah resides in Noblesville with his wife, Susan, two kids, Brody and Savannah."

A weekly morning show, every Wednesday at 8 AM Central

Join us April 16th, 2024 at 7PM Central to meet Juanita Haney, who is running for La Porte County Treasurer in the 2024 Republican Primary. This will be Juanita's first foray into politics, though she IS somewhat familiar with the swamp here in La Porte County. Her husband, current Commissioner Joe Haney, has frequently been the target of those who want "business as usual" (aka corruption) to continue without the scrutiny that Commissioner Haney brings. We know her husband is pretty awesome, but what about Juanita herself? We'll be sitting down with her to have a real conversation about her, her background, and why she's running for this office. We ask all of our guests to provide us with a bio, and this is what we were sent: "Juanita Haney is not your typical candidate—she's a dynamic wife of 22 years and a dedicated mother of three daughters, ages 26, 19, and 17. Hailing from a vibrant upbringing on a sugar farm in south Florida, Juanita's journey led her to Indiana after college, where she immersed herself in the fast-paced world of the University of Chicago's transplant team and various hospitals in Northwest Indiana. After years of impactful work, Juanita decided to embrace a new challenge: homeschooling her daughters full time. Beyond her professional and family life, Juanita is a fierce advocate for animal rights and a lifelong learner. Her interests span from reading to crafting 3D paper art, collecting dolls, and even marksmanship. Juanita's zest for life is evident in her eagerness to travel, try new things, and tackle challenges head-on. As a candidate for LaPorte County Treasurer, Juanita brings a unique blend of experience, passion, and a love for adventure to the table." (End Bio) If you have any questions you'd like us to ask Juanita Haney, tune in live or email Talk@DionBergeron.com and we will do our best to make sure we get to them. #DDD #DionsDailyDose #LaPorteCounty #LaPorteIndiana #MichiganCityIndiana #Primary2024 #Election2024

Dion and Shawn discuss current events. Tonight's topics: FISA brings down the House Biden off the ballot in AL and OH? Soros buying up radio stations (again) SCOTUS case Gonzalez v Trevino IN AG Rokita files PFAS lawsuit Lunchables and Applesauce trying to kill us, too. Conspiracy Theory: Chemtrails and "Cloud Seeding"

Join us at 7PM on April 9th for an in-depth discussion with Commissioner Joe Haney. Commissioner Haney is in his 4th year of his first term, and is up for re-election this year. He has accomplished a LOT during this, and we'll get a chance to learn all about that, along with his plans for his next term, once re-elected. Joe has been at the forefront of several "controversies", butting heads with his fellow commissioners and others. A troublemaker to some, a freedom-loving patriot to others, Commissioner Haney is no stranger to critiques. Often described as a "problem child" or "wave maker" by those that prefer a quiet, if a bit corrupt, government, Joe Haney has never been one to allow malfeasance or outright criminal behavior to fester under his watch. He calls out the issues he sees and works towards their resolution. We ask all of our guests to send us a bio, and this is what we were sent: "Commissioner Joe Haney was sworn in to his first elected office as La Porte County Commissioner in 2021. He currently serves as the District 3 Commissioner. Joe also serves on County boards such as the Parks Board and others. Joe is active in his community and has spent his adult life volunteering his time and talents, from serving as a Volunteer Firefighter/EMT to volunteering at homeless shelters, animal rescue groups, and more. 2020 was Joe’s first run for an elected office and this is his first time serving as an elected official, he has spent the rest of his adult life in the private sector. Joe is a former clinician having worked in the surgical suites on a level one trauma team, transplant team, and as an operations manager for a total of nearly 20 years on the definitive side of health care. Joe currently resides on a small farm near Door Village with his wife of 22 years and their three daughters, where he runs a small business."

Dion and Shawn discuss current events, with topics including, but not limited to: Speaker Johnson insists that the House must pass a FISA bill. What's in it and why is it so important? The President of Guyana was interviewed and the interviewer tried to shame him regarding the oil in his country and climate change. Guyana President is incredibly based, and was having NONE of it. We'll show you the interview. Someone compiled the complete list of the individuals accusing old Uncle Joe of inappropriate touching. It's quite a list... Brazil and X (formerly Twitter) are engaged in a bitter battle over free speech and government overreach and censorship. It isn't getting much coverage in the news. What's happening? Saudi Arabia is planning on building a massive city in the desert. Their plans have changed a bit, though. Let's check in on that. Today's Conspiracy Theory segment is going to focus on the theory that blue roofs can avert destruction from DEWs (Direct Energy Weapons). Is there any proof? We'll take a look!

Join us on Friday, April 5th at 7PM Central to meet Kurt Earnst, who wants to be our next La Porte County Circuit Court Judge. Is he worthy? Only YOU can determine that. We'll be asking the tough questions, like does he smile? (his picture is very serious. I hope he has a sense of humor or this interview is gonna get awkward quick :) ) He'll be joining us in the studio so I sure hope he appreciates the wit of our host. See below for the email to send your questions to and we hope you join us. You can tune in to Dion's Daily Dose on Facebook, Rumble, YouTube, and X (Formerly Twitter) @DionsDailyDose We ask all of our guests to send us a bio. This is what we received. "Diversity of Experience, Leadership & Dedication to Public Service Becoming a judge has been a goal of mine since I entered Valparaiso School of Law in the fall of 1993. For the past 27 years, I have practiced law in LaPorte County with the Law Firm of Braje, Nelson & Janes LLP. For the entirety of my practice, I have been engaged in criminal and civil litigation. Furthermore, since 2001, I have been assigned as a Felony Public Defender in LaPorte Circuit Court appearing virtually every Friday morning since that time handling and trying major felony cases. During this time, I have gained an extensive knowledge not only of conducting trials but also the workings of Circuit Court. Also, I have practiced civil litigation in Courts throughout Northwest Indiana as well as criminal trial work in the Federal Courts of the Northern District of Indiana and the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. I have also argued before and participated in litigation and appeals before the Indiana Supreme Court. It is this diversity of experience that I hope to bring to the bench as LaPorte Circuit Court Judge. My upbringing shaped me with a strong desire to give something back to the community. For the past 26 years, it has been my privilege to serve as a volunteer firefighter and first responder with the Long Beach Volunteer Fire Department. Since January of 2023, I have served the department as Fire Chief. I am a past board member and Board President of the Boys and Girls Club of Michigan City and a past Volunteer Judge for the Teen Court Program. Believing in assisting those who have served our Country, I have served as a team member of the LaPorte County Veteran’s Treatment Court since its inception." (End of Bio) Tune in to watch live or send your questions to Talk@DionBergeron.com and we'll do our best to get to your questions during the interview. #DDD #DionsDailyDose #LaPorteCounty #MichiganCityIndiana #LaPorteIndiana #Primary2024

Meet Julianne Havens, Candidate(R) for La Porte County Circuit Court Judge. Join us Thursday, April 4th at 7PM Central time, when we get an opportunity to sit down with an interesting and experienced candidate. Judge is one of the most important and critical elected positions in our government, so I want to ensure that we get an opportunity to meet all of the candidates for this position and get to know them. We ask all of our guests to send us a bio, which is included below: "Julianne Havens is running for LaPorte Circuit Court Judge. Julianne has been an attorney for 33 years. She was raised and helped on her parents’ farm. Julianne graduated from Valparaiso School of Law in 1991. She has been married to her husband, Bob, for 29 years, and together they’ve raised their two sons in LaPorte. Of her 33 years as an attorney, 28 years of her career have been prosecuting major felony crimes. She is currently a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney handling the higher felony offenses in Circuit Court. In total, Julianne has prosecuted crimes in: LaPorte county for 16 years; 4 years in St. Joseph county (and served as the sex crimes unit supervisor); and 8 years in Starke County, of which 6 of those years she was the Prosecuting Attorney (elected). As the head Prosecutor, Julianne managed the budget, employees, wrote and was awarded grant funding, and initiated the formation of Starke county’s first community corrections - all while maintaining a full criminal case load.

Tune in to #DDD at 7PM on Tuesday, April 2nd to meet Rhonda Graves, who is running in the Republican Primary for La Porte County Auditor. As the current Chief Deputy Auditor, Rhonda Graves has experience in the office and knows the job. Luckily, she has agreed to come to the studio in order for us to get to know the woman behind the name and title. Although considerably less publicly known than our current auditor, she is no less dedicated, and we'll get a chance to talk to her about her job, her extracurricular activities in the community (of which there are many) and how she has the energy for all this. We ask all of our guests to send us a bio, and we post them without edit. The bio we were sent is included below. "Rhonda Graves has been the Chief Deputy Auditor of La Porte County for just over a year. She brought with her the knowledge she gained while serving as Chief Deputy Treasurer of Starke County and prior years of service in early voting for La Porte County. With this knowledge she was able to hit the ground running upon arrival to the Auditor’s Office. “I am running because I see the need to increase accountability for the funds we control, transparency of the funds that we spend, and the understanding of allowable government spending, all while maintaining an office that works efficiently, lawfully, and stays up-to-date on best practices. After all, it’s your tax dollars at stake.” Rhonda grew up in southeastern KY as a coal miners daughter. Her father was killed in the coal mines when Rhonda was 7, and she along with her mom and sisters moved to La Porte for a change of scenery. That was 1983. Today, the Graves family consists of Rhonda, her husband Mike, two children, Emily and Ty, and their dog Lou. Both children graduate this year- one from high school and one from college. Rhonda enjoys giving back to the community in various ways - Girl Scouts, Cookies for Soldiers, Gleaner Arbor, etc."
