8AM: Deer District Shooting, Political Threat Charges, Would You Go to War? (Hour 2)

Bailey and Dame shift to a tragic local story involving a 47-year-old woman shot and killed outside the newly opened Landmark Live venue in the Deer District after what appears to have started as a confrontation following a car accident. Dame expresses frustration that bystanders recorded the situation instead of attempting to de-escalate it, while Bailey points out the real dangers of intervening when weapons may be involved. The conversation then turns to state politics, where a lawmaker faces disorderly conduct charges after allegedly threatening to release damaging information about a colleague during a dispute. The hosts question her judgment and discuss patterns of volatile behavior in public office. In a more personal and philosophical turn, they respond to a listener’s question: would you go to war for America? Dame firmly says no, explaining he wouldn’t risk his life for conflicts he believes are rooted in politics, oil, or power rather than direct defense. Bailey echoes similar hesitation, especially when considering loved ones. They close the show discussing a proposed bill to legalize marijuana in Wisconsin, noting how far behind the state remains compared to much of the country — and debating whether tax revenue and shifting public opinion will eventually force change.
