This week Mike flies solo while Max is out, and we dig into the fallout around Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension after comments about the Charlie Kirk shooting. Along the way we hit upcoming training events, SHOT Show and NRA Show travel plans, EMS World Expo prep, and why media narratives can be just as dangerous as misinformation in the field. Plus, a shoutout to our longtime sponsor Ammo Supply Warehouse and their new Survival Armor soft armor offering.
