Live from the Heart of America—I’m Steve Gruber—ready to deliver an inclusive and diverse discussion on the most important topics of the day—giving you better analysis and insight that anyone else—shining a spotlight on the cockroaches of the swamp—and delivering truth and justice just when hope was starting to fade—

 

Here are the 3 Big Things you need to know to start today—

 

Number One— Joe Biden says he is going to run for re-election which could paralyze the Democrats—because it means the weakest President in modern times—is not going away—

 

Number Two— Elon Musk is getting slammed for now listing the BBC as government funded media—putting it alongside a similar title for NPR here in the U-S—

 

Number Three— The War on Guns— And war on the streets of America—that is front and center—

 

The Louisville Kentucky mass shooting is yet another sobering event—that begs the question—what can we do to stop this from happening?

 

I am tired, sick and tired of getting an alert on my phone of an active shooter—and wondering, how bad is this one going to be—praying its not like Newtown…

 

I find myself torn up about these sorts of things—if this monster—who was 23 years old with a Masters degree in finance—and had worked at the bank he attacked for the past 2 or 3 years—if he had not been able to buy the guns—could this have been stopped—but of course that is the idea behind red flag laws—that would be used against too many people that have no reason at all to have their guns taken away—

 

I understand the idea of red flag laws—BUT I don’t trust them—I am concerned they would be turned on regular folks who are doing nothing wrong—and that’s why this argument never gets much traction with me—

 

I have said this many times—disarming me—doesn’t make anyone safer—disarming me in fact makes the world less safe because I would step up to stop a madman if a mass shooting unfolded in front of me—

 

This monster had no obvious problems—was a successful young man with a college degree from a great university—his dad has been a very successful college and high school basketball coach in nearby Indiana—this is not the hallmark of mass shooters—this one is a complete rarity— insofar—as many of the recent mass shooters all came from homes with no strong father figure—that were isolated—and many were on powerful drugs and spent hours playing video games—

 

I cannot say if the killer was depressed or on drugs—but the rest of it makes him an outlier—and I want to know why—

 

However numerous outlets including Heavy outlined his angre and hatred towards Donald Trump, conservatives and Fox News in general—on more than one occasion he posted to Reddit and Instagram with ‘Eff the alt-right’—BUT many of the posts, including one just a couple of days ago were about the sports—Like the Dallas Mavericks not making the playoffs—

 

He also posted his support for the Black Lives Matter movement and other left wing ideas—

 

When my dad died in an accidental fall almost 2 decades ago now—I had a difficult time wrapping my head around it—and I took time to read the entire autopsy report—I thought it would help me—and maybe it did—BUT in the end—it doesn’t change anything—

 

What we are doing now with this tragedy—and the one in Nashville and Michigan State and the ones before that—is kind of like an autopsy— we’re digging for answers that won’t change a thing—

 

You want to understand—you read and ask questions and try to fill in the blanks—BUT in the end, none of it matters. Because it doesn’t change what happened—

 

5 people died on Monday at the bank they worked for following the morning meeting in the conference room—killed by a guy that was their co-worker—someone they knew—

 

A police officer who graduated from the academy just 10 days ago is in critical condition at the University of Louisville Hospital—he had barely started his career—

 

It is just so senseless—why have people become so callous that killing people is just no big deal?
