Welcome back to The Dirt Show.

Since the last time I spoke to you, more people have been shot, more Americans, in a three

0:20.7

day weekend, basically, than usually a shot in countries during an entire year, many

0:29.2

countries. Many countries just don't have these kinds of shootings. Now, we're not the only

0:37.2

country. New Zealand had a mass killing, obviously, Norway had a mass killing in Israel. There
