Bee to get us started. Hunter Biden seen at a
courthouse trying to weigh crack on Lady Justices Scales and

for the real thing. We have a name. Tyler Robinson,

(00:22):
twenty two year old son of a county sheriff in Washington, Utah,

federal marshals. His mother, Amber Robinson, works for Inner Mountain

Right now, that's all we have. Enhanced photos and video
of a skinny white kid and a black T shirt,
blue jeans, sunglasses and a ball cap and a noticeable

(01:07):
limp have flooded the Internet, which made it pretty easy
to track this guy. All of this implies we haven't
grown up much in the last sixty years. The nineteen
sixties were supposed to be America's adolescence. In that decade,
we did a lot of shooting Medgar Evers, JFK, Malcolm X, King, Bobby.

on the life of President Trump, armed radical moves close
to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and now Kirk. Political

(01:51):
disagreements aren't new, after all, we fought a civil war.
But today each side believes losing an election means more
than losing a policy debate, thinking if he wins, our
very way of life is at risk. An NBC News
poll found seventy nine percent of Republicans and eighty one
percent of Democrats say the other guy will destroy the country.

(02:16):
Low rated cable news network MSNBC allowed thoughtless things to
be said on their air. Anchors Nicole Wallace, Katie Turr,
and Matthew Dowd each blamed conservatives for the shooting. Dowd
actually blamed Kirk himself. He's been fired, he may not
be the last. Tragedies sometimes reveal character. Justin Jefferson of

through college for Charlie Kirk's two children. The kid who

up with the slogan Nebraska, Honestly, it's not for everybody
is leaving. Tourism executive director John Rix resigns after nine years.
That line got a lot of national buzz, good and bad,

(03:42):
but it worked. Hotel tax collections went up twenty six percent.
Why is it that grade school aged boys are usually
so much better at math? Well, a study in the
journal Nature found it. Sports Sports is numbers. Football teams
require eleven players. Heitzer scored in increments. Fans calculate the

(04:02):
yards to a first down or the length of a
field goal. Each baseball player position has a number. You
have stats like ERA and RBI. Get your daughter ready
for math by taking her to a ball game. You'll
both love it. In this week's Tournament of Rosies, it's
the worlds Craig and Betty of ko Zad, Nebraska. Oh my,
they took their vows this week in nineteen fifty seventy five,
