Yes, and we're live. Welcome back, Mr. Wood.

Thanks for having me back.

How are you, buddy?

It's been a wild year.

For people who don't know, Michael a former you were form well you never really a former marine right isn't that one of those things where you're marine you stay marine I don't quite buy that

Some Marines do if I would have stayed maybe but for the Marines who agree

with that okay you were a Marine former sergeant in the Baltimore Police

Department and you came on the podcast a while back and exposed some pretty

eye-opening information about how the whole system sort of works in this sort of a closed loop in Baltimore where the same

neighborhoods are having the same kind of crime in the same sort of scenarios over and over again.

And that was a really important podcast for me and it was a really important podcast for

a lot of people that listen to because they got exposed to the inner workings of police departments by someone who was you mean I was really happy how honest you were about all of it about the thrill of chasing people and all of the

the cool stuff about it and we scheduled this podcast quite a while ago and

it's kind of crazy that you're coming in the weekend

after these insane shootings in Orlando and I'm absolutely not happy that that

happened but I'm happy as happy as I could be that you're here

while this is all going down and we get to kind of talk about these moments, these insane moments that happen, it seems like every few months or so, some new insane moment happens where some person, usually a man, blows a fucking fuse and winds up

killing a ton of people.

I don't know what, if anything, and I'm hoping maybe you'll have some insight what if anything could ever be done to stop something like this

Well, this is where we get into the micro, the dirty liberal thing and we're going to start

talking about gun control because I don't know what else we can talk about your only other option is to continue a

cycle of more and more force upon one another. So what we know for sure without a a doubt, that the path were on, it is only a matter of time
