Kirby Ferris joins us in the studio this morning from Ferris Riley Pitt. Kirby, good to see you. Good morning. Good morning, JT. How are you? Fantastic. A little bit of news. I mean, I come back from vacation and Monday morning's like, oh my gosh, we've got an assassination attempt on the former president. You can't leave town like that. We've got a convention going on. It's like, all right, and a new producer with us. Have you met Mackenzie? I have, Mackenzie. She's doing a great job. She's killing it. Yeah, she's doing it really well. And Kirby always brings donuts and little snacks like that. So, yeah, look forward to that. We told her that we also do a shot at the keel after your segment every time. Absolutely. She's like, well, can Kirby come every day? I'm like, okay, cool. She's a keeper. Yes. Don't forget me, Kirby, please. Oh, yeah. Producer Blake is still over here, and producer Colton, producer Blake. You know, there you go. So don't ruin this book. I know. I know. All right. So I wanted to talk to you. I mean, normally we talk about crazy legal stories or something happening in the courtrooms, but with everything going on, I thought we'd talk about the conspiracy theories and misinformation that started almost immediately as the secret service is taking Donald Trump off that stage. People are already posting, oh, do you see this? Do you see that? And here's what's happening. It's like, whoa, slow down. Yes. So, I mean, you know, it's funny you brought the topic up because my son and I were just talking about this a couple of days ago. He was telling me two or three. And so I jotted down a couple that were amazing. All right. What stands out to you as far as the biggest BS and misinformation and nobody knows or whatever. Yeah. The biggest one, the craziest one I saw, is it former President Trump and the secret service conspired? Oh, yes. And this was going to get him reelected. Yes. And he let somebody take a pop at him as long as I shot him in the ear. Yeah. All stage to make it make me a hero out of it. Correct. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Being president would be cool, but am I willing to send there? Let somebody take a shot at my ear. Not from 150 yards away on a slanted rooftop. I mean, yeah. There's another one too that he was put up by, you know, the Biden administration. They're behind it. They planned it. They did it all. I'm not buying that either. I look, I think it comes down to one thing. There was a lax in secret service, law enforcement, whatever you want to say. Yeah. But Candace Owens came out with her, you know, posts and podcasts and said, you know, and I've talked to other folks in law enforcement, when you get to an event like them, you stand on the stage where the president's going to be and you do a 360 and walk and you point out, there's a building there, there's one there. There's a big tree over here. There's another, you know, scaffolding thing on a construction site. And you point out every high point that needs to be looked at. And I don't know how they missed the building. I don't. A very dear friend of mine was at the house when all of this broke. And without saying too much, he was in charge of this type of protection as part of his work in the army. And he, as soon as he sat down, he said, say all these people, no, no, we're going to have a job come on day. He said this is so he told me a little bit about his work. And he said, it's just incredible that nobody was on that. Yeah. I mean, it's common sense in secret service, you know, she had one job, make sure the area is covered. And then the finger point started. Yes. Well, it's local law enforcement's problem. No, no, I'm sorry. You are the one that decides inner perimeter, outer perimeter. And if you miss something that's on you, not Andy Griffith and Barney. No. And Chuck, I've read that there was already a threat, right? They already were aware. Apparently they were aware of the guy as something funny or suspicious for about an hour before it. Would you not keep an eye on that guy the entire time at that point? If you're not going to nab him, at least don't lose eyes on him. And if he goes to a building to start scaling it, wouldn't you like, okay, now we need to grab him? The gun should have tipped somebody off. Maybe the guy carrying a ladder to get up on a building off just going to go get a better sight and view of it. Yeah, right. What's with the rangefinder in the gun, dude? Come here. And how about this? If you knew I'm here in 10 minutes before the shots fired out that there's a threat, why are you not getting Trump off stage right now? Let's go. And what Mr. President, we're sorry, we have to deal with something that's popped up. But you know, we'll get you back on as soon as we take care of it didn't happen. So any other crazy, I mean, there just dozens of them all over social media about misinformation. The one I found hilarious was Marco Violi is a reporter in Italy. He covers soccer. That's what he does for a living. Reports back, does some fox work even. There was a picture of him on the internet saying that he was the shooter. He was 2,000 miles away in Rome at 2 o'clock in the morning. His phone starts blowing up and his friends are like, "Dave, did you shoot the president?" I don't even know what you are talking about. So this poor reporter is blasted all over social media as the shooter. I mean, and he doesn't even know where it started. It's caused him a lot of problems. Yeah. And there's still a bunch of them continuing out there. The investigation is underway. But you know, I think it just needs to be as transparent as can be on everything. And this woman should have been fired yesterday at the latest. So, well, good to see you, buddy. Great to see you, man. Welcome back. Well, thank you very much.
