her up in Madison, Wisconsin. Man, and uh, apparently they're going the bullying route, which again I don't know, could be They're they're looking into it though. The amount of

red flags though, okay, uh is pretty staggering. Like when you look at and I understand kids these days, and there's even a term for this, and I can't I don't remember what it is, but basically, when it comes to like social media accounts, where like if a kid may have their actual account, right, the one that they interact with their friends with, and then they have the one the parents think they have, and you know it, look, admittedly, parents are at a bit of a disadvantage depending on

what the social media account is as they may not fully understand it, not use it. I don't know the nuances of TikTok. I really don't. I don't use it. They you know, they they're like, oh, you guys should have a TikTok account for the show. Well, Ross and I had an executive meeting and it was no. And by executive meeting, we just like, no, we're not not. So I don't even understand all the nuances of TikTok.

And I'm okay with that. Point this out because there are a lot of people that are wanting the father charge in some way, shape or form. Because one of the things that you can see in the social media is a like he took her to a range, and there's some photos that emerged of her who and it looks like what is I can't tell what she's shooting in this photo. It's a little hard to tell. She looks she's shooting. She's shooting trap is what it looks like. But I just I want to be a monthly clear here.

And you what you see is you see people comment on this photo of her because she has the she's got the the I call the Fannie pack. When I'm joking around with my friends if we're shooting trap. But she essentially she has the the little pouch for all the rounds, you know, buckled around her her. She's in a ready pose. There. Uh, there's a comment by somebody who's like, hey, is that the youngion? Is that the kid? I can't remember how they word it, but you know,

And then you have like this proud papa statement. It's like, sure is man? Sure is? I love? How many of you have sent me the bear story? I am all over it. Don't you worry? I got you? I got you. I love that. That's the uh if I that you have come to expect that if there's a bare story, we're going to do it, and we are going to do it. Don't you worry? Okay, I got it. So anyway back to this, so you have like this proud papa exchange with somebody like is that is that the youngion?

If they carry out a horrendous act, Well, they had access to the to the nine millimeter, Okay, explain it to me and explain it how they had access that they wouldn't have had access. You know, if they wanted to do this to another firearm, you would, I because what people want to do is if somebody and this would extend beyond school shootings, right, you have to look at the slippery slope of this stuff they want to go.

All right, Well, if if somebody who's a minor has access to this or has access to a firearm, and they do anything, then we need to charge them. Is that is that a parameter you're comfortable with? Like, because you know, a fifteen year old who may not have a driver's license might have access to your keys. What if they take your keys? Go, I don't know, go out, consume some some substance of some sort, and careen into somebody.

Do you have a liability because you left your keys around. Oh, people go, well, well, the car keys are not the same as firearms. I agree with you kind of kind of, but ultimately, like like I had in my house growing up, we didn't have a gun safe per se. We had it, we did eventually, but we didn't have a gun like one of the big guns saves like the one I have now. Because you know you're out in the who's gonna break in? Who's dumb enough to break into a

rancher's house in Wyoming? And the answer is not a lot of people is that you're just practice, So myself or one of my siblings, and then I ended up I got a gun cabinet very similar to the one that my mom had. Uh. And it's a glass it's glass in front, right, it's a it's a wood monstrosity. It's got glass in front. Yeah, it has a locking case. And my mom got it for me because she wanted

to teach me about firearm storage. But you know the fact is that any of my three siblings with an elbow or you know, a stapler, just something with any something that could break glass, would have access to a shotgun. A German Mauser A twenty two Marlin. I guess that would be the three Those are my three first guns, pretty standard, right, little Mossberg, little Mauser, little Marlin. And they could literally get a rock from outside or something hard in the house and then have access to it.

Does that mean that people have culpability for murder? And I feel like people are wanting to go there, and I don't know the answer to that. I don't know what that looks like. Because don't get me wrong, when it comes to when it comes to firearms, there is a responsibility. But the question becomes like, like what do you need to know before you have some criminal liability? And I feel like we're going to go down this road again, and maybe, just maybe we should have a

conversation about this. If you own a firearm and somebody in within your household is able to access that firearm, and let's say they're able to access it without you know, a traditional B and E method, like they go to your room, they know where you hide it, they grab it, they go do something. Do you have criminal liability? Because this is the next step up with the gun grabbers.

Just so just so we're clear here, and I know some of you were horrified, but I don't want to hear anything out of your face because you're doing this. Oh we you know, the the Biden I don't know if it probably wasn't Biden, but the White House issued it.

Think we got to do something about the guns. And then they proceed to start talking about assault weapons, which is not a nine millimeters pistol but whatever under their standard, right, because nothing is really an assault weapon unless you assault somebody with it. But you know what I mean. And they want to have that a conversation that they didn't want to get into after that Healthcare CEO was killed. So that's a little weird. Huh, you're so against guns

unless it's I don't know, shooting CEOs. So I don't take them very seriously. But I do take seriously case law right, and yeah, people are like, well, you gotta charge the parents. Why why do you have to charge the parents? Can you show me something that was negligent or derelict? I mean what I see there? Because people are like, oh my gosh, look at this picture of hurt the range. Can you believe it? Yes? I can, because that was me. If this is me at fifteen

going out there, give me two. Flip one upside down just to see if I can hit it. Those of you who shoot trapper skie, you know what I'm talking about. Take the take the if you got a laundry, flip the thing upside down to screw with your buddy, because you can't see the orange as well. It's got a weird flight, right. I never murdered everyone in a class or in a study hall, So what's the liability there.

And if you are somebody who is a gun activist and you can't do things the way that you want to do it, this is how you now go about it, because what you want to do is you want to create a chilling effect. Oh, you have kids in the house, you better have firearms, because if one of your kids does something with one of the firearms, you're gonna go to jail for the rest of your life. I'm just I'm just warning you. This is where this is going based on what I'm seeing out there, Okay, all right?

Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. However, I'm also somebody who thinks that you have a responsibility but you have kids in the house or not you, but you have responsibility for for being a responsible firearm owner in the same way that you have responsibility for being a responsible automobile owner. Right, don't get drunk, don't

drive around texting and drive like. These are all things that are out there, and people will argue, well, in those situations you just talked about that, there's you know, we have criminal liability for those things. If you drunk driving, your charge. If you're negligent or distracted having you get charged. But the difference is here, we're talking about a secondary individual. So what responsibility do you have if your kid goes

and does something? Also, are you going to charge just parents of school shootings or are you going to charge kids who may get caught with a firearm committing some sort of crime for I don't know, gang initiation or you know, pick what it is. And I don't know the answer to that, but I know that there's a lot of people who look at this and go, yeah, that's a way to create a chilling effect right there. And maybe they're right. Let me a devil's advocate here,

Maybe they're right. If you're not going to store them in a manner that your fifteen year old can't access, do you have criminal liability? The problem is they're going to be very selective in where they want to go ahead and actually have this conversation they're gonna and then we we we get into a we get into a whole selective prosecution thing, right, like, oh, for this crime, this, well,

why is it? How is this any different than some fifteen year old who decides to roll up and fire a bunch of shots as far as a drive by and just let's say it's not the parents firearm, but let's say that it reasonably should have been detected by parents if they were paying attention. Now is their criminal liability? You see where I'm going here? This is the this is the slippery slope stuff. And I don't know the answer to that, all right? Eight eight eight nine three

four seven eight seven four all right? Coming up on the show, we got a bear hunting story kind of have a I have some questions about this. I saw this yesterday and it it left me wondering if this is someone I would bear hunt with. Probably not, but pretty wild out of Virginia. We'll get to that. And your calls just curious, like you see where this thing's going?

Are you cool with parents? And and and how deep does it go just any parent where a firearm may have been accessed by a ute of some sort, did they have criminal liability or should they have shown signs? And and do parents know to look for all the signs? Like the one of the photos that was released yesterday, at the one at the shooting range, she's wearing a T shirt of this German band that was the favorite

band of one of the Columbine shooters. And it's clear there's a fascination with one of the Columbine kids by this fifteen year old up in Madison, loves are some school shootings. Just looking at what she wrote and various interactions there. So if you're a parent and you don't notice that your kid's wearing a German scar scar, I don't even know what it is. A band, He's a punk band of some sort. If they're wearing that shirt, like,

what's your due diligence to go? Oh? Wait, doesn't that the shirt for the Columnbike or is not the band the Columnbike kid likes? Like, I don't know that parents are notstily gonna know that when we struggle as adults, as older adults, anyway to know what's going on in pop culture at large, like you just look at the thing kids. My kid's got a band shirt on. I saw people that are like, oh, how did the parents not notice? Do you know all the music that your

kids listen to? No, you don't, right, you probably have to google stuff. You're like, what is what's wap? You google that? You're like, oh, oh, dear god, But uh, you know, you don't know, or what's the what's the song? Or what's this band? And but like, you're not a You're not a criminal for not knowing this stuff. Ross is lucky because his kid likes to do wop or what's he into right now?

Then I don't know the answer to this. But if we're gonna go down this road, it's very clear that there need to be parameters, and maybe we have to have a discussion or maybe we just need to turn this into the next big fight, which is you know how we do these things? But uh, it needs to be had because I don't necessarily see irresponsibility there for not knowing what her what a band does. Anyway, we'll be back. Hang on, let's just say they skip some doozies.

I think that with the moment they heard us, they decided months ago that this was going to be it and they didn't even consider it, which just shows you how broken all of our media is once again, and how they're all going to be out of a job. And I will not shed a tear, just I will shed zero tears because it is one thousand percent self inflicted. They can do. Trump's out there, he's denigrating what it

is to be No, you guys denigrated it. He's just celebrating it, and you denigrade it every time you do crap like this, And some of you are learning, some of you pretending to learn, but most of you aren't. It's like the Wrio guy the other day. We kind of got it. I don't say we got into it necessarily because I thought at least we had a productive exchange where was Uh do you remember what I tweeted?

When I think it was Andy Speck from w r E L. He's like, uh, how did you get this sourcing saying and I can't remember what the stat was? What was it was? But it was clearly not the point right it was? They're like, were there?

basically be an accurate representation by FEMA's own admission. But yet you're not using your your your resources to talk about how you don't investigate how FEMA's not doing their thing. Holy hell, what is wrong with you? And I think a lot of people had that And so when I look at this bolitifact thing, I'm not surprised what they chose for the lie of the year. But I can, in my mind immediately understand how they arrived at it. They saw something that they think was their best Trump

is crazy or Trump is an idiot. Thing one it's is it a lie? Prove to me that it's a lie, because a lot of people believe it to be true, including people from Haiti, or at the very least that it could be true. And even if it is a lie, is it the most impactful one or is it the biggest one of the year. We'll get to that momentarily. Let me grab a call on this, this story out of Wisconsin, and the question is going to become what

liability does somebody have? And let's say, whether it's a parent and they have a fifteen year old and in this case in Madison, who there's clear evidence that her father took her to the shooting range. It's by the way, she looks to have decent form. Wait, so we obviously educated her on how to shoot trap And do parents have criminal liability if they're a teenager then is able to access a firearm? What level of and what level of protection like if you let's say you hit the

firearm but they knew where you hit it. Or let's say that they figured out your where your key is, they stole your keys in the middle of the night and use the key to get a copy of the key, and then when they wanted the firearm, they were able to access it. Do you have to have a liberty you know, a giant, unmovable liberty safe on your property? Can you put it into a simple Can you put a simple you know, breech lock in there? Well, do they know where you're Do they know where your bolt

cutters are? Because then they can go ahead and cut into that thing. And it's I'm just saying that it's going to be a fight because people who are anti gun they don't care how they get there. They if they can inconvenience you to the point where you just don't want to take the chance and therefore you don't buy guns, then they've won their argument. They don't need a law to tell you can't do it if you

just don't do it in practice. And I don't know, but also I see things where there's clear liability right where you know your kid just had thirty six visits from the sheriff's office and you're like, hey, let me get you another gun son, you keep it in your room. I know you keep threatening to kill your classmates, but it's okay, Like it's hard to argue that person shouldn't have liability. I don't know where it is, but you know where that line is is going to be part

of the gun debate. Just so we're clear, all right, Chris, what's up?

don't grease the coyote outside. Okay, yelled that by my neighbor for not shooting one on my way to school one day, because but she she was of the opinion that I was going to be responsible, and to this day, obviously I was. I didn't go, you know, shoot up

a classroom. And legally I was allowed access to those firearms under the laws in the state of Wyoming, so you know, and if she didn't have any reason to believe I was going to shoot up my class, would she have had liability there for allowing me access to firearms.

If I was over the age of fourteen, I could be in the woods with a shotgun or a rifle, not a pistol, but those firearms and I could legally possess them in the state of Wisconsin, just like in the state of Wyomi where I grew up. Once you hit twelve, actually, so this is you understand what I'm saying, sir. I agree with you. I think that you have an obligation to be to do what you need to do. But also Dad like sounds enthusias he took his daughter

to the range. He's obviously proud of her, as you know, as a parent's going to be and and and this doesn't sound like the Michigan case. I'm just trying to figure out where that line is. So you think that everything's got to happen all the time or.

you know, it's a mosper a shotgun. And like, at that point, if she'd have done that, she would have been possessing a gun that she could legally possess in a hunting situation or range situation in the state in which she lived, even without her father there.

the firearm in a subsequent crime. Right, So, if we're gonna have a discussion, oh, we got to have more gun laws. When we use more gun laws, we're gonna start prosecuting parents when their kids do something. Okay, one, are we gonna prosecute parents if their kid does something but it's not gun related? How about that? How about if how about if a parent allows a kid to use the you know, the family car or whatever. Right, Yeah, Billy, you got a driver's license, you can go ahead and

drive over to your friend's house. But you know, unbeknownst to you, your kid's a future garbage human and they go and they commit some sort of crime, do you have liability for letting him use your car. If they used that car to flee from police and strike a pedestrian or something, I don't know the answer to that. And yes, I'm going to tell you right now. As a kid, I knew all of the firearms that my

mother had, and my mom had some stuff. Man, she did not screw around, and I will tell you that she actually used a firearm to although kind of his own drunkenness did it. We had a dude break into our house. This is when we weren't all in high school. My mom bought a house in town because like all, you know, we're all doing sports and stuff like that, and we had a dude who mistook our house, which is weird because it didn't look like the other ones.

But like middle of the night, some guy kicked in the mudroom door. If you don't know what a mudroom is, you know, like a back patio, but where all the boots and jackets and everything come off. Kicked in that door, and it just so happened that that is. It was when we had our new puppy, Calli, and so the mudroom, which was also part of the laundry room, kind of

went into the other one. Had a little like doggy gate there and paper down and that's where the puppy lived, because you know, puppies aren't potty trained all the way. And this guy who was hammered slipped in the puppy droppings and literally banged his head into our wash her dry or whatever, and was laying there. My mom comes out with a pistol like she's dirty friggin Harry dude, and held it on this dude till police came. And

I've actually told I've told parts of this story. The guy had was at a party and a neighbor's got kicked out and you know, let the let the alcohol take over. And I remember, I've remember being like twelve years old, and I come out. My mom's holding the biggest damn pistol I had never seen her own on this dude. And actually the guy ended up coming back and apologizing and offering to do work around the property.

in that case? And I don't know the answer to that. But the conversation now is going to be if you're a parent and your kid does something, except it's going to be selective. So if you're a parent, maybe not in this setting where you took your kid to the range, but maybe you're a parent and maybe it's not your firearm, but you should reasonably know your kid has it because they're posting pictures on social media pretending they're a gangster.

Do you should you the parent be liable if they go and committed, you know, some sort of gun crime. Because I feel like you're gonna start seeing a breakdown and only this is only applicable in certain situations, and then we get into a social justice fight. Yeah, yeah, I'm slippery slope guy. That's what you come here for. Your calls coming up? Hang on, I just I'm just anticipating where this is going and I've already seen some because I get the I'm on the the Moonbat mailing list.

Subod do for you? I don't do it because I like to. I just happen to be on all the Democrat mailing lists, and there is I've already gotten pieces where they're like, God, it needs to be liable. Here's what we need to do, you know, send money to this act a political action committee. Let's get a law that if you're your a parent and your kid commits a gun crime, except only in certain circumstances, that we're

gonna charge them. And I'm just like, we should probably have a discussion about this, all right, Tom, what's going on?

I'm just pointing out that, like, if we're talking about defeating locks, you would be to put a cable lock like through that shotgun right slide one through the action, you know the ones I'm talking about got a little pad lock hanging off the end. I could defeat that really quick. So if you're in the Docus series, I just want to point this out. We're gonna get right back to phone calls here in a moment. I'll reset what we're talking about. I saw the trailer last night

for this, Ross had not seen it. I just recommended it. So Netflix has a new docu series coming out. So it's not even just one documentary, it's it's a mini series if you will. It's called Jerry Springer Fights Camera Action. And it looks good. It looks really good, man. You know obviously you know, talks about the really the cultural phenomenon that was that was the Jerry Springer Show at the time. And then of course you've got all the different people are like, this is the end of society?

What are we doing? And then they explore that there's some pretty significant side stories that came out as a result of Jerry Springer, including like people committed crimes after, which is weird because, and I hope you're sitting down for this, A bunch of that was fake. You realize that, right, it wasn't real or it had a truth, It had a kernel of truth and then the producers would manipulate it to obviously to the moon for the for the purpose of entertainment. But a lot of the folks there

it wasn't real. A lot of the stuff you hear or see in media. And I'm just I'm gonna be very generic here, okay, But Ross knows why I'm being generic. A lot of the stuff you see, especially when it comes to the big conflicting things like that, are simply not real. Whether it's on TV. There's some stuff on radio that is not real that you think people don't realize. But it's also in some cases for a good reason

that it's not real, or for legal reasons. And so I like some of the Jerry Springer stuff was I guess for the purpose of this documentary. But they're gonna have to convince me because like we know, we know a lot of those people on Jerry Springer were not like it was. Ross had a friend who was on Jersey.

He ended up being an All fours on the stage with his pants down wearing heart like heart printed boxers getting whipped on by the girl and apparently he cheated on or whatever and it was a stripper right or in real life, yeah, in real life, off the show, she was a stripper and he was a DJ at the strip club.

Like I'll watch it. I think it's one of the Tiger King people is on this and so I'm I'm here for it. But the question is how much is you're right about media, though, like where it was all

fake once upon a time. You got to remember there were people that did not understand that reality TV was not reality TV, right, right, And every when Mark and I first started dating, she was she was upset of how jaded I would be over events that would happen in the media when I would tell her that they were just completely fake, and she's like, well, how do you know it's fake? And because I've been in radio.

works for things. But other things are mocked up purely for entertainment reasons, because for the most part, even people with crazy stories are also still kind of boring and presenting it. So it you know, you're going to have a producer figures out all right, so here's where the drama is going to be here's the here's why the

fight's going to ensue. Here's going to be the sticking point because and I do it every day, not in the fake sense, but what I have to do is identify when I'm going through stories where the hook is, Where am I going to go? Where am I going

to get your interest? Sometimes for some stories, we're just doing the story, But if I want to drive calls, like with this story about the the fifteen year old in Madison, Wisconsin, the hook and the thing that's going to drive calls, and it's a legitimate thing, is the liability that parents have. Right, that's a lot more interesting topic and a topic that people can weigh in on them.

And you know what, what do you think? Do you think the fifteen year old ate too much French toast and that's why she chose to shoot the school up? Like you have to figure out where those where people are going to emotionally connect with things. Okay, And so I don't begrudge it, but you have to know that

that's the thing that happens. And you're right ross. When reality TV shows first really kind of took over, people didn't realize the amount of manipulation that went into what was Remember the remember the first Survivor winner, the like creepy naked dude, the dude who was running around with no clothes. He was kind of an a hole, wasn't he. The whole narrative was they kept making him be an

a hole even though he had the natural gift. They would go and they'd be like, hey, you should talk crap about this person, and like when that all came out in the wash, people are like, I can't believe that's how it worked. And I remember thinking, of course that's how it worked, right, because post people are boring in that sense because they're timid, they've never been on camera.

client tapings. So you got a client who's advertising on your show, which is awesome, and they're like, hey, I want to be on the commercial, and then the client will come in and like, we don't just roll tape on it. You got to sit there and be like, hey, why don't you say it like this or uh, say it more enthusiastic. Best piece of advice I can give to somebody on the radio is however excited you think you sound, you have to kick it up ten percent. Okay,

this is something I struggle with. I'm a pretty like low delivery, chill dude. I don't yell or rate like when I'm in person, and I still have to kind of amp my energy up. And some mornings you can hear where it's just not happening, and so you kind of walk people through that. So like that's not a new thing. But to Ross's point, they're like, what if

we do this? But at like steroid levels, and and then you start yielding these reality shows and these different these different things that go viral and it just continues. It's why anytime you watch a video on social media where something happens, in the back of your mind you're like, this is probably fake, because people realize that they can fake stuff and go ahead and get clicks, and it turns us into cynics. Really, it's like.

All Right? It says, so it's got this chick named Tina, right, and so Tina is dressed like it's end of the eighties, early two thousands, and Tina's on there because Tina's a whore, not an actual like working horse. She just and it says Tina has had sex with thirty men. Those just think about that, like back when that body count was frowned, first ballad Hall of Fame ortem, she had sex with thirty guys?

don't get me wrong. There are clearly situations where like you see a story where uh, you know, somebody leaves a gun on their site on all the side tables, and then they have like four year olds running around and play cops and robbers and one of them shoots the other one and I do think there's there should be criminal liability there. I just don't know where the line is, and I know that people are going to manipulate these things. Okay, all right, let me grab this hunter.

Thanks for hanging on. What's going on?

then like Ross didn't tell you. It was like his mom woke up, walked out and she was half asleep, and he had to pretend to be his dad.

three four seven eight seven four. Hang on, let me ask a Ross. You want to take a quick Patriots quiz if I could not the team but actual patriots. Just it's going to be really easy stuff. All right. What year do we credit as the founding year of the United States?

But this headline, you're ready, bipartisan bill naming bald eagle as the national bird heads to Biden's desk. What wait, So the bald eagle is not the national bird in the United States, And according to the article, no, but it kind of is. Well initially, I knowe.

go to the Turkey. We're going to go with the eagle because it's majestic and beautiful and look at that thing.

a decision that was made. It's been on the by the way, the the bald eagle was utilized beginning in seventeen eighty two, okay, and that was when they came up with the seal, which you know, the president stands behind. You're familiar with the seal, but apparently had never been

congressionally delegated as the national bird for some reason. And I'm like, what, so it actually emanated from Abe Klobashar Elizabeth Warren, I think is the which I just think is funny as one of the co sponsors, it was a co sponsor this thing, which I don't know if you know, this ross the eagle very important to her people, very symbolistic to her native relatives. I can't with a

straight face with this woman anyway. And you know, Minnesota, I will tell you this, Minnesota, they love them some bald eagles. And the reason they love them is the Upper Mississippi Wildlife Refuge, which is essentially goes from the quad Cities in Iowa up to Lake City, Minnesota. I believe it's the north end of it has the highest

concentration of bald eagles in the lower forty eight. Alaska has the most obviously or the highest concentration, But in the lower forty eight, that section the Mississippi River between the quad cities of Iowa and you know, like Debuke and all that, and then north up to just south of the Twin Cities and Minnesota is the highest concentration.

And I happen to live there just north of the thing, because I was south of the Twin Cities there for a while, and and I had a boat on the Mississippi, and I don't think there's a day I'd go out and not see a bald eagle Ian Damn things were everywhere. But I, like everybody else, just assumed, yeah, they had this thing buttoned up, but apparently not, or maybe in the other universe they did, I don't know. And then I think one of the other co sponsors was Cynthia Loomis,

who's actually our rep in Wyoming. Yeah, Wabishaw, there it is. Yeah, they're talking about the National Bald Eagle Center, which is in that area.

is what they're talking about. Post off name, post office names, and the eagle.

of fishing and to some extent hunting. But in the world of fishing, there will be size limitations, so it varies, but it's about management of the lake. So like the only harvestable walleye on Rainy Lake, I believe we're twelve inches to eighteen inches, and so if it's bigger than that or smaller, now you gotta throw it back in the water. Well, you know, say, anyone who's fished has gotten into one of the situations where you just can't catch anything in the slot, and like you're catching, like

we kept catching these giant walleye. We're like, we just want food, man, And so you take it off the hook and you know, I throw it off the back of the boat and it swims away or whatever. And I did that, you know, like twenty times. We were sleighing walleye up there, and all of a sudden, I'm not looking, I catch this one, and I think it might have been under the slot, and I kind of did just tossed it back behind me because I'm sitting back by the engines on the boat and I don't

even look. And then I hear this splash, like somebody just fell into the water. And I turn around and I'm staring at a bald eagle for a half second who had just been chilling in these trees watching us throw all this free food in the water, and was like, I'm gonna get me some of that. And I never

realized how big these. I had had one on my arm at like a nature thing before, but this thing, full wingspan, coming in like a speeding bullet to get that walleye, which he achieved, was pretty crazy there, majestic as hell man. But I just assumed it was our bird man. But it's not, although it may soon be if they can. I'm assuming forge Biden's signature. Have we seen Biden in a couple of weeks, by the way, seen has he done anything this week at all?

sleep with you. They just want to record you, like some due diligence maybe, But and I don't know if he's being sarcastic or truthful, or if you're just trying to impress so he can get in James O'Keeffe's pants, Like I don't. I don't know what's going on with that thing. But yeah, the bald eagle is apparently it was, is not our national bird, but might soon be rased agic from the Weather Channel. Did you see this nonsense?

I do like this email Boston Paul's partner. Yeah, that's a good point email, right, Can you imagine ross every day at work You're just there having to plant drop guns and check only half the drugs into the evidence locker, Like, but no, that's not what it is. And then Boston Paul roan he just said being a rookie. Now I have the worst one. It is coming up in just a moment. Let me grab a quick phone call, Dolores. I got about a minute, go ahead, what's up, Hi?

I'll never forget that living there, and.

you to really listen to what I'm telling you. Edgecombe County deputy, saying man unsuccessfully tried to flush fentanyl down the toilet when authorities came to his house to search for drugs. Okay, well that's not unusual. What's unusual casey h. He has a septic system, So I don't know if you're clocking what's going on here. That's not ending up down at the sewer the treatment plan. It just goes

in your septic tank. But the evidence collection then required Edgecombe County Sheriff's Office to drain and sift through and test the septic what's in the septic tank. So I would argue that the worst job in law enforcement is whoever had to fish through an entire septic tank to find the fentanyl and other It was fentanyl and I

think some meth. Remember remember right before like Christmas break or maybe the last week of school and the clocks in the room, you just assumed we're broken because the time wouldn't pass. That's how this week feels. Luckily, there's enough insanity, so at least it's fun. But oh man, TikTok, TikTok to vacation. But uh, you know, we we'll fill this hour with interesting stuff. We're not gonna fall down on the job. All right, so we shared with you

the worst shop in law enforcement. I think that has to be it the story out of Edgecombe County where some guys got drugs, doesn't I'm assuming he didn't realize how that he was probably even on his septic right, or maybe he did, I don't know, because you can flush stuff, but for on a septic system, they go to your septic tank and then an investigator literally had

to do through the septic tank. So I'm gonna go with that's probably the worst because like even people, even the dude who empties because we had a septic tank, even the person who empties the septic tank doesn't root around it well usually sometimes septic tanks there's problems. But yeah, I'm gonna go with that's the worst. And yes, it was probably a rookie, as many of you have pointed out,

or maybe not. I don't know, but I'm assuming it's probably somebody uh that's on you know, on the uh not you know, not your standard deputy, is what I'm saying. CSI was going to say, but maybe it's not that formal, but yeah, not so that's a pretty bad job. But also, uh, trying to flush things down a septic tank, like you're an idiot. The only dumber thing I think I've seen is there was there were some clearly underage I don't know if they were college student, They looked like they

were high school students probably who were out drinking. They were really openly drinking walking around at the NC State football game, and they got clocked by officers in a minute, and one of the geniuses ran into the porta potties that were near where the parking spot was where my group was, and tried to like throw the beers down the thing, and the cops like, this is a because

we could hear them. We could hear them talking to them, and they're like and the officers like, you know, that's a porta potty right like I can see the thing there. And I don't know they gave him whatever ticket they gave them, But that might be the only dumber thing I think I've seen on that front. So so we got that, uh, and a couple other things. This thing right here, all right. It is clear to me that back in what like four months ago, when did all

the Haitian stuff start, was that August. It was September when Trump made the statement that I'm going to read you, but I think it was probably a few weeks to a month of this story existing, right, that they're eating the pets, right, And it was the Kabala debate that was September tenth when he said it. Yeah, but I'm saying the story was the reason he comment is the story was a story for probably a few weeks before that.

So and then yes, he said in Springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats. YadA YadA. We all remember that. And then everyone like, oh, why would he say that? That's horrible? What a monster? And then at that point they took him to task. I think at that moment PolitiFact decided that was going to be their lie of the year, because it's their

lie of the year. Apparently, Yes, according to PolitiFact twenty twenty four, is most outrageous political lie was the they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats, the people came in, they're eating they're eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame. That's his exact quote, is it is that the biggest lie of the year. One we can get into debates about whether it's in fact the lie.

I guess if you want to go specific to one of the stories, it turned out to be not true. But the cat the cat store, even though it wasn't in Springfield was true. But they go, well, it wasn't in Springfield, but it was in Ohio. It was nearby, So I whatever, you don't have to debate with that. How is I will not pardon my son not the biggest lie of the year in politics, Like, it's not

even close, not even close. That's the biggest lie of the year, even if you one hundred percent believe that Trump is lying there, even though there is a kernel of truth to part of that, and who knows, maybe it's complete truth. We just don't know. But we know for a fact that that there is two incidents, one of which is involved a person eating a cat. It just wasn't in Springfield city limits. But I will not pardon my son seems like a much bigger lie the other.

The other one I'd go to, although maybe it's more North Carolina is Hi, I'm from FEMA and I'm here to help. But since it's not a politician saying that, I don't know, maybe it doesn't meet the requirements there, but yeah, that is you're according to PolitiFact, the biggest lie of the year, which almost always is a Republican although remember Obama, what was Obama's one? It had to do with Obama Care. They did. They didn't nick him one time on that, But for the most part it

you know what direction they're going to go. But like when you have such an easily recognizable thing and a thing that I would point out that has people across the political spectrum going, well, you're lying, man, you're lying. I know that, I know the pundits have this story that Biden changed his mind. Nobody believes that. Everyone believes that the reason he allowed it to go forward is because they were prosecuting Trump at the same time, knowing that at the end of the day, if he didn't

get acquitted, they could just pardon him. Any anyone with two brain cells understands that. They don't have to admit it, but they get it. That's the biggest lie of the year, hands down. It's not even close. But now they went with the they're eating the dogs and cats, because of course they did, because of course they did. All right, so check this out. Let me a couple other things here, what is maybe maybe I don't know how court murder trials are supposed to work, because I guess I've never

been charged with murder. How does a dude convicted of murder? Okay, so he is a murderer, I don't have to say, alleged convicted of murder go to his go get convicted of murder, and then when they's going to sentence him for murder, goes to lunch and doesn't come back. What So, on Friday, a convicted murder by the name of Latigo Ltago Derianta Marshall. He was found guilty of first degree murder.

This is in Burlington, and during the trial Friday, court documents show that Marshall left for a lunch break and never returned, probably because he was about to get sentenced for murder. If I had to guess, And then when they sentence you for murder, you're probably gonna go to jail. You were convicted of first degree murder. I think that's safe.

And then at that moment, boom, boom boom, here's the bracelets and now you're off to the Pokey, how do you let that do go to McDonald's or Chick fil A? What's happening now? I don't understand they didn't let him, but it's just the whole thing is crazy. Marshall was on trial for a murder that happened in two twenty seventeen, was arrested in twenty eighteen. He did have bond set it a half million dollars. It doesn't appear he posted it.

How does that work? Like, there's information that's clearly missing from this story, and now officials are wanting your help looking for him. They think he might be in Greensboro or maybe even still in Burlington. He's in a two thousand and eight Mercedes. They give a physical description. Anyway you can go look at that. But yeah, So when asked why there was delay between when Marshall escaped when police released information, they said that they couldn't release information

until an arrest order was issued. That seems like a problem. So at the moment he's out there and you're like, oh, he didn't come back from Chick fil A, I don't think it was like that necessarily. I'm slightly exaggerating, but you're like, once you realized he's gone. You can't ask for the public help in finding him during that very crucial time. Like, this whole story doesn't make sense now. It does say he was released on bond, but it doesn't say that he posted a monetary amount. So also

what's going on with that? Did he did he post it? And you just don't note it because you when they post for bond, it's noted in the documents there, and it's also noted how they posted. So did he put five hundred thousand down or did he have a bond agent come and all like it? But it's not in there, So I the whole thing. But also, after you're convicted of murder, why are you free if I don't see

the bond posted there? Because like if there was ever an incentive to go to Tahiti, you're maybe somewhere non extraditable. I think it's after you're convicted of murder, you know you're going to jail for probably at least twenty years. I think you'd want to keep an eye on that person. So yeah, this is just a couple of weird stories going on locally here. Well, the Edgecomb County ones just gross.

I don't know that it's weird, but people are dumb, all right, So eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four the phone number. Yeah, we can go and get into this. Well, let me do this. I'm gonna we'll go ahead and take a break and I will do the bear story. Okay, I've done the bear story yet about you sent it. I appreciate that you understand my love for people being dumb around big animals, and this one fits the bill. But it's got an

interesting little twist. So what happened in Virginia? We'll tell you coming up next, all right, Ross, and I never just don't know.

Awards or whatever. They had these Gamer Awards and like everybody who stands up at some point has to do the woke thing. And it looked I mean, I saw it as a montage and I was annoyed by it and I and all I remember thinking is like this whole industry.

running a tree farm to fight climate change. And so in between managing your you know, like any of these other games where you kind of manage inventory, like you know, like there's some games where you're like you're running a kitchen.

people down the street with your junk out? I saw a screen cap and he was chasing somebody with like a rabid chicken, and I'm like, this looks like a game I could get into.

tomorrow's game was? Oh it was Broncos Chargers. Okay, Ros's what time you guys play? What the Patriots this week?

Who's the Panthers play? Oh, that's right, they play the Cardinals. Actually know that? So Chiefs, Well, they're playing Texas or Texans, I should say, yeah, I mean, because there were a couple obviously the Bills game was one of them. There's some really a couple of really good games last week, the Eagles game and the Bills game were the ones that was really interested in, and then obviously the Vikings.

But we're playing the Bears so on Monday, boo, yeah, all right, all right, we got that going for us. All right, speaking of Bears. See what I did there that transition? Uh, here's the thing. Don't hunt with idiots. How many of you have went hunting or show or maybe just to the range with somebody, and now you will. You may not not be their friend anymore, but you're not hanging out with them with guns. By that, I've seen some people do some really stupid When you're younger,

I guess maybe maybe you'll put up with it. I don't know. There's a couple of people that I won't go to a shooting range with like they have they got no trigger discipline. They'll do like they will hand you a gun and like you're not they didn't check it. And and I know it's a lot of little stuff. And don't get me wrong, there's a lot of people you get comfortable in you and you shouldn't, but you kind of cut corners but like they'll just do some

dumb stuff. Man, there was a guy I had, a guy who went to a range with and he thought it was funny to essentially shoot at the same time you were shooting, like really close to you, and he thought that was funny. I'd never go back to the range with that guy. I don't want any part of it. And that being said, uh oh, remember I told you I have a friend who when we were when when we were kids, his parents told him not to go hunting with this other kid. And you know, sometimes parents

are right, and they were. They were. I think they just had one shotgun and they were walking around. I think they were trying to plink blue drouse out in Wyoming, which they don't put up much of a fight, pretty easy to find. And they were walking across a creek and he walked across the creek and then this other idiot hands him the shotgun, which my buddy proceeds to grab the end of the barrel. You know where this

is going. And then the more on who's handing him the shotgun so it doesn't fall in the creek when the guy's trying to go across, pulls the trigger and now and it cost it cost Jason two and a half fingers. And I will say he made lemon out of lemonade because he would then challenge people to paper rock scissors all the time, like people he didn't know, saybe'll get a party and they wouldn't see his hand and they'd be like a paper rock scissors and then

we'd go and he'd throw whatever. And then he would then say he was throwing whatever, beat what the other guy was. We thought that was hilarious. But it came because he went hunting with people whose dad told him not to go hunting with. And his dad was right, all right. So with all that in mind, with all that in mind, well we get to this story. Ready. Okay, this is up Virginia, this is Satius. Just over the border there. A man is dead after a bear hunting trip. Let's hear what happened.

don't like tree and stuff. The only hunt I've ever been on, Like, I've never even done a bear hunt where we're running with dogs, Like I just that's not for me. If you want to, that's fine. I don't find it particularly sporting. But also you're using bait in the other scenarios, so whatever.

hunt bearer like that. I just that's not for me. That being said, Oh I guess also, I went on a raccoon hunt where we treat raccoons. So with that in mind, the first thing you don't do when you get the critter up in the tree is stand underneath it. Because here's the deal. It's in a tree, and it's in a pretty panic state, right because you're chasing it around. So if that thing gets up in a tree, bear

mountain lion, you're standing right under it. If the thing decides it doesn't want to be in the tree anymore, you're the thing stopping it from the ground. So that's inherently dumb. What's even dumber is it looks like they got it into the tree. This dude stood under the tree, and then his friends shot it in the tree, which also means they're shooting in the direction of their friend, which is another huge red flag in the world of hunting.

So yeah, according to Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, the tree bear fell and struck the hunter, which and here's the let me tell you this, there is a solution for this ross. You're probably familiar with this, even though you've never been hunting. You know how to mitigate this. A trampoline right as.

But the yard happened to have one of those big trampolines right, the big black trampoline thing there, and they had pushed the trampoline under the tree and they tranked the bear, and the bear hits it, and then the bear from the trampoline goes back up almost to the height that it was and then kind of flips off off over to the side. The bear was fine. They you know, took it to wherever and released it. But it's it's an amazing video and apparently this guy had

never seen it. But yeah, so if you guys are gonna be doing any hunting, don't stand under the animal you're shooting. Which I don't know how big the bear was, but they're not small, not a tiny bear. No charges filed, Yeah, I mean, I don't know necessarily what you charge them with. But also, don't hunt with people that will that will literally shoot in your direction, even if it's above you, right,

it doesn't matter. It's that your down range. And unfortunately he found out then the hardest of the hardest of ways there all right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.

the next front coming in. You're on either side of fifty, which is pretty close to normal, and then the bigger changes in temperatures, with highs only in the load of mid forties over the weekend, the coldest day being Sunday, when the trya it and into the mountains might not get out of the upper thirties and blows be in the twenties, but a slow warm up. By Christmas Eve, we are near fifty, and I think some rain showers around on Christmas Day, so you're hoping for white Christmas.

I think like two weeks ago somebody like threw something out there that said maybe there'd be some wintery pres up in the South. I don't think so, so maybe some rain showers a mile.

with an announcement on interest rates. Economists have little doubt that rates will be cut by a quarter point today, and they say the Fed may indicate it will slow the pace of rate cuts next year. There's talk of a big deal that could reshape the global auto industry. Honda and Nissan are exploring the possibility of a merger to strengthen their operations here in the US and in China. Sources say the Taiwan East technology company Fox Khan has

approached Nissan about acquiring a controlling stake. Any eventual deal will also involve Renault, The French automaker owns thirty six percent of Nissan. The nonprofit Center for American Rights has filed a petition with the Federal Communications Commission indicating it has concerns about the proposed Paramount Global sky Dance merger. The petition notes, among other things, that a Chinese company owns a stake in sky Dance, and it says that

raises questions about foreign influence over US media. Traffic jams not just frustrating, they cost a lot of money. The American Transportation Research Institute says congestion on the nation's highways added nearly one hundred and nine billion dollars in cost to the trucking industry in twenty twenty two. And Walmart's testing a new program, a Casey. It's designed to curb

shoplifting and enhance worker safety. The giant retailer tool USA. Today, a test is underway at one store at which employees are wearing body cameras. Walmart said it will evaluate the results before making any long term decisions about cameras in its stores.

at least maybe then we could figure out where they are. Right, we'll go back to the cameras and you're like, like, why can't I find an associate?

But who knows. All right, I'm I'm getting pretty annoyed the amount of New Jersey politicians who purport to know what's going on with the drones, who clearly don't know what's going on with the drones.

one of the options. Well that's not how you worded it. Well, now we have the mayor of Belleville, Belleville, New Jersey, which do not even know where that is, who suggested another thing which has already been community noted. But let me go ahead and lay this out for you. This is an interview with one of the local TV st.

Maybe that's radioactive material. There was and there is an alert that's out right now that radioactive material in New Jersey has gone missing. On December second. It was a shipment, it arrived at its destination, the container was damaged and was empty.

the federal government, so that that is correct. Specifically, though, what he's talking about is the Nuclear Regulatory Commission who issued an alert and it was based on a shipment that was going to a cancer clinic. It's a diagnostic tool, and like a lot of medical equipment, there is radio you need radioactivity, right, X rays, scans, CAT scans, things

like that, MRIs. This is even smaller. It's a calibrating tool used to do the diagnostics for the scanners, and the amount of radioactive material apparently is so small you could essentially hold this thing by your man parts and still have babies, and you can keep it there for a long time
