Memphis School Shooting Thwarted by a Locked Door

U.S. Women Soccer's World Cup Fail, and Consequences of Cri… · Aug 7, 2023 News

A 33-year-old armed man drove to a Jewish school in Memphis, entered the security vestibule — and couldn't get any further because of a double-door locking system. School staff tracked his license plate via CCTV, police intercepted him within 3 miles, and shot him. Dana Loesch argues this is exactly what school hardening advocates have been calling for — and the media refuses to cover it because it doesn't fit the gun control narrative.

Chicago's New Mayor vs. the Word 'Mob'

At 1:07:40 · chapter starts 1:06:10

After groups of young adults ransacked Chicago stores in what looked unmistakably like coordinated flash mob looting, a reporter asked Mayor Brandon Johnson about the 'mob.' Johnson — Chicago's newly elected far-left mayor — took exception to the word itself, insisting on 'large gathering' and warning against referring to participants as 'baby Al Capones.' Dana Loesch and Megyn Kelly are having none of it. Loesch points out that a 20-year-old committing crimes in a group is not a baby anything — they're a grown adult who can stand for the consequences of their behavior. What Johnson should have said, she argues, is simple: if you're 20 and doing this, get a job. Instead, by policing the language used to describe the rioters, Johnson enables and emboldens the exact behavior he's too squeamish to name.

Why the Israel-Killed-Kirk Theory Doesn't Hold Up

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air. The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
