    Episode 41: HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Able-Bodied, Empty Carts: Rethinking SNAP Abuse And Government Dependence

    Send us a text The sirens aren’t just sound effects—they’re a mood. With SNAP benefits on pause and threats to loot trending online, we step into a raw, unfiltered look at how a safety net can turn into a battleground. We talk through the fear, the anger, and the messy middle where working families budget every dollar while politics treats food aid like a poker chip. We start with first-hand moments from the field: overstuffed carts, hot food on benefits, and homes packed with able-bodied adults who don’t clock in anywhere. Then we draw a hard line between those gaming the system and those who truly need it: elderly people on fixed incomes, disabled neighbors, single parents escaping abuse, and workers hit by layoffs. The point isn’t cruelty—it’s clarity. SNAP was meant to be a bridge back to work, not a landing pad for years. That means tighter work expectations, job placement, training and childcare to make work possible, plus real enforcement for fraud and resale scams. We also wrestle with the political fight no one can ignore: who should qualify, how much we spend, and why shutdowns keep holding families hostage. You’ll hear sharp takes on eligibility for undocumented immigrants, corporate incentives that steer billions in SNAP spending, and the deeper trust problem when wages lag but prices soar. We map these tensions onto a bigger pattern—extreme inequality, corruption, middle-class fatigue, and loss of faith in institutions—warning signs we’ve seen before in France, Russia, and Cuba. If that sounds dramatic, consider the stakes when looting becomes a bargaining tactic and every vote gets framed as moral war. This isn’t about left or right. It’s about making the safety net work as promised: fast help for real need, real paths back to work, and policies that stop incentivizing dependence. If you’ve felt the squeeze at the checkout line, if you’ve helped a neighbor through a hard stretch, or if you’re just tired of performative politics deciding who eats, this conversation is for you. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review with your take on how to fix SNAP without breaking trust. Your stories and solutions matter—drop them in the comments and let’s build something better together. Support the show Thank you all for all the support!

    #DDMS Episode 40: Zombies Would Have Lobbyists—So Why Not Cops?

    Send us a text Sirens, slogans, and a hard dose of reality—this conversation pulls back the curtain on what happens when policy rhetoric meets the street. We open with the “defund” soundbites and ask a tougher question: how do you expect better policing from fewer, more exhausted officers with less training and more constraints? From a volatile ICE encounter in Chicago to the daily grind of 911 calls that aren’t crimes, we connect the dots between budgets, morale, rules of engagement, and the split-second decisions that shape public safety. We walk through the federal-local friction most people never see. Different authorities, policies, and liabilities mean local police can’t always jump into federal operations, even when the public demands it. We also break down crime and gun policy without the usual caricatures: strict laws on paper can’t replace targeted enforcement, community trust, and the training that builds judgment under pressure. Bail reform, officer burnout, and staffing shortages each have ripple effects; ignore them, and the whole system frays. Immigration debates get a fact check, too. We cite 8 U.S.C. §1325 to clarify what’s criminal and what’s civil, and we talk about fairness for people who followed the legal path. Beyond the headlines, we argue for a rational middle: defend the need for policing while demanding accountability; invest in scenario-based training, wellness, and supervision; pair clinicians where it helps without pretending social workers can replace cops at violent scenes. If you want safer streets, you can’t cut your way to competence—or shame your way to service. If this conversation challenged your assumptions or gave you a clearer lens, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a rating with your biggest takeaway. Your feedback helps us keep the conversation honest and useful. Support the show Thank you all for all the support! I couldn't do this without everyone's support!

    #DDMS Episode 39: Inside a Probable Cause Affidavit: The Charlie Kirk Case Breakdown

    Send us a text A father’s vow to “kill the man” who took his six-year-old son’s life sets a raw tone—and it’s impossible not to feel that rage. We start there, with the Logan Tipton case: the 911 call from an eleven-year-old sister, a dad holding his boy in his arms, and a justice system that releases the killer under supervision in under a decade. That anger is real. But the path forward requires more than fury. So we pivot into the Charlie Kirk shooting with a different tool: the probable cause affidavit. We walk you through the affidavit like a map. What is it? A sworn, legal document that must meet the elements of each crime. What’s inside? A detailed narrative of the UVU setup, surveillance footage that tracks a suspect to a rooftop, a bolt-action rifle recovered with one spent round, forensics linking DNA to the trigger and casings, and messages to a roommate about intent, the drop point, and deleting evidence. We unpack the full charge list—aggravated murder, felony discharge, obstruction, tampering, and enhancements for victim targeting and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child—and show how each count ties to specific facts rather than speculation. If you’ve heard claims about a lapel mic firing a round or a security guard as the shooter, we address why the affidavit pushes back: vantage point, trajectory, rooftop impressions, recovered weapon, etched rounds, and a paper trail of texts that read like a confession. The point isn’t to shut down questions; it’s to anchor them in verifiable evidence. Along the way, we talk about sentencing, parole, and how public trust breaks when punishment doesn’t match the harm—without abandoning due process or clarity. Stick around to the end for how we plan to expand this into a longer video breakdown. If this deep dive helps you separate outrage from proof, share it with a friend, subscribe, and leave a review. Then tell us: after hearing the evidence, what questions do you still have? Support the show Thank you all for all the support! I couldn't do this without everyone's support!

    #DDMS Episode 38: Free Speech, Cancel Culture, and the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

    Send us a text The growing political divide in America has reached a breaking point. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, it's time to address how our inability to engage in respectful dialogue is tearing the fabric of our society apart. For years, I've kept silent about politics on my social platforms. As a law enforcement officer, I've seen firsthand how expressing certain viewpoints leads to immediate backlash—accusations of racism, bigotry, and calls for cancellation. My own TikTok account with 600,000 followers was taken down simply because I wear a badge and wasn't afraid to respond to those attacking me. What's most disturbing in the aftermath of Kirk's assassination is watching people celebrate the death of someone they disagreed with. Even more troubling are the blatant mischaracterizations of his statements. Despite following his content for years, I never witnessed the hateful rhetoric he's accused of spreading. Yes, he held strong Christian beliefs, but I observed him engaging respectfully with people across the political and identity spectrum. We've created a culture where nuanced conversation is impossible. People retreat to their echo chambers where opposing viewpoints are demonized rather than engaged with. The hypocrisy is striking—those who cheered when conservatives were deplatformed now cry foul when facing similar treatment themselves. As a nation, we must learn to talk to one another again. We need to listen to opposing viewpoints without immediately resorting to name-calling or violence. "When people stop talking, really bad stuff starts. When marriages stop talking, divorce happens. When civilizations stop talking, civil war ensues." My commitment moving forward is to be more vocal, not because I have all the answers, but because staying silent while watching our country tear itself apart is no longer an option. Join me as we explore how to bridge these divides through conversation before it's too late. Support the show Thank you all for all the support! I couldn't do this without everyone's support!

    DDMS Episode 34: Behind the Badge: TikTok Woes, Family Shifts, and Law Enforcement Life and the elusive third amendment

    Send us a text Ever wondered how TikTok's censorship policies can make or break a creator’s career? Join me on the latest Deputy Dane Morning Show as I recount my frustrating experiences with account bans and shadow banning on the platform. Despite my commitment to creating positive and safe content, I repeatedly face violations for so-called "dangerous acts." Hear about the disheartening reality of having subscribers' money taken even when an account is banned and how the platform's appeal process leaves much to be desired. You'll gain an inside look at the struggles many creators face due to overzealous policies and individuals targeting their work. Transitioning my daughter to a smaller school was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I'll share how this change has positively impacted her life. I’ll also give you a glimpse into my personal life, including the logistical hurdles of moving my mother and a humorous story about my son, Harbor’s, restless sleeping habits. Balancing multiple roles at work as an undersheriff, investigator, and patrol deputy has been overwhelming, and losing my TikTok account added to the emotional toll, making me contemplate quitting. This episode dives deep into the emotional and logistical challenges that come with juggling family responsibilities and a demanding career. The life of a law enforcement officer is more complex than many realize. From handling cases and executing search warrants to managing farm work and hiring new staff, my past month has been nothing short of a whirlwind. I’ll discuss the intricacies of my job and the sudden reappearance of my sister, fresh out of rehab. We also explore the historical context and relevance of the Third Amendment, emphasizing the broad scope of tasks demanded from law enforcement officers daily—from preventing crimes to providing roadside assistance. This episode uncovers the misconceptions and unrealistic expectations placed on officers, shedding light on the depth of knowledge and dedication required in this profession.
