Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Objects to the Word 'Mob'

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

After groups of young adults ransacked Chicago stores in flash mob-style riots, Mayor Brandon Johnson refused to call the perpetrators a 'mob,' objecting to the word as inappropriate. Dana Loesch argues this kind of language policing enables criminal behavior by refusing to name it accurately and hold perpetrators accountable.

Restorative Justice and the Criminalization of Self-Defense

At 1:06:10 · chapter starts 1:00:40

Dana Loesch connects the Stockton 7-Eleven case to a broader pattern she sees across progressive America: the restorative justice movement is systematically criminalizing self-defense and shaming victims into passivity. She traces the pattern from the McCloskeys standing on their private property in St. Louis, to Daniel Penny restraining a threatening man on a New York subway, to the Stockton clerks — in each case, the person who pushed back faced prosecution. Meanwhile, three girls harassing an Asian family on a New York City subway — and apparently beating the woman filming them — received no mainstream media coverage, which Kelly attributes to the racial identity of the aggressors. The rule seems to be: who defends themselves, and who attacks whom, determines what's a crime.

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

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.

The Corey Ruiz Shooting: Hot Takes vs. Waiting for Facts

#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.
