    701. Did A Former Capitol Police Officer Plant The J6 Pipe Bomb?

    Breaking news in the January 6 investigation: federal sources and new reporting point to Shauni Rae Kerkhoff as the possible identity behind the mysterious hooded figure long sought in connection with suspicious activity near the DNC and RNC. Kerkhoff, who previously worked for multiple police departments in Wisconsin, including time employed with the Milwaukee Police Department and other local agencies, is now being scrutinized for her potential role and movements on January 5–6. In this episode, Best-Selling Author and former police officer Eric Tansey joins our team to break down the latest developments, examine what’s known about Kerkhoff’s background, and analyze the security footage, investigative leaks, and timeline now surfacing in mainstream and independent media. We explore her law-enforcement employment history, her alleged political ties, and how this new identification could reshape the narrative around the J6 pipe bomb investigation. As a real 911 dispatcher and former cop, we react to the evidence, the reporting, and the unanswered questions surrounding Shauni Rae Kerkhoff’s alleged role. Is this truly the person seen in the security footage? What does her prior police department employment mean for the investigation? And why is this story only now breaking? This is a factual, analytical breakdown of the emerging information — not speculation, not exaggeration — aimed at helping viewers understand the significance of this alleged identification and what it may mean for the January 6 investigation moving forward.

    697. Every Cop Is A Negotiator: You Have To Be Willing To Talk

    Best-selling author and former police officer Eric Tansey breaks down intense body-camera footage from a Wisconsin police standoff that ended in tragedy. Early on July 26, 2024, De Pere Police responded to reports of a man armed with a rifle at the Perkofski Boat Launch. Multiple agencies—including Ashwaubenon Public Safety and the Brown County Sheriff’s Office—arrived and began crisis negotiations with the suspect, 44-year-old Scott H. McDonald. According to the Wisconsin Department of Justice, officers tried to de-escalate the encounter, but when McDonald produced his rifle, officers from De Pere and Ashwaubenon discharged their weapons, striking him. Despite officers immediately rendering aid, McDonald was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators confirmed all responding officers were equipped with body cameras, providing a full view of the tense standoff that night at the quiet Wisconsin park.
