A man in a tactical vest armed with a loaded shotgun and additional rounds, got of a vehicle

and stormed towards the Capitol before he was apprehended, charged in arrest.

We don't know his motive just yet.

And things like this do happen.

So maybe it's nothing. But I got to be honest, considering just the other day, there was a

transgender unhinged individual who went up and shot up his family at this hockey rink.

There are t-shirts being sold celebrating political violence, the ice attacks,

threats, violence escalation, all of that at the ground level. And then at the political level,

you have the redistricting where Virginia recently got approval from their Supreme Court to wipe out

four Republican seats. So the conversation's basically coming to an end. I look at a story like this in D.C.

and I say, ah, that freaks me out. Because the issue is, it's always a grain of sand that

eventually makes the heap, right? That's the saying that I often use. At what point is this not just

some one-off crazy person, but beginnings of a pattern or some kind of trend? And maybe, just maybe we all beg, we hope, and we pray that

this was just some lone nut crazy guy who believes crazy things who tried attacking the capital

by himself for some dumb reason. The scarier thing is that, of course, he's by himself,

but what if he's motivated by mainstream ideology of any faction? I don't know.

Presumably we're going to see this on the left because of the violence coming from the left.

But if it is, this fervor generated by the online resentment or just general political disarray,

that's where things are getting scary.

And so I look at this story.

There's a bunch of others where you can see that there's no conversation happening between the left and the right, only escalation. And the question then we've asked on the show is, where is the off-ram? So let's analyze this story and see if there's actually anything going on there. And then we've got some fun stories for you. Fun as in nightmarish and terrifying. Like Zohan Mamdani announced that he's raiding the retirement funds, their rainy day funds for the city, cranking up property taxes.

And I kid you not, holy crap, literally crap all over the streets of New York City. These
