Hey, it's Monday. We got a great podcast for you. Good day with a guy with a gun. He helped stop a bad guy with a gun during a mass shooting event in an Idaho In-N-Out fast food restaurant.
There's a real lesson to learn there. Also, Bill Maher reads from the DSA platform, which pushes communism and socialism in America. I'll tell you what that means and why it's good for our team. You don't have to win an argument anymore. I'll explain in that monologue. Also, the Democratic Governor nominee of Wisconsin, Francesca Hong. She has campaigned with anti-American Hassan Piker and Ilan Omar. What does that mean?
My mom had some advice and I think it applies here. All that and more on today's podcast. All right. Let me talk to you about Chapter. Have you ever looked at your credit report and found something that didn't belong? Kind of a strange feeling. Somebody somewhere out there has a file on you and the information in that file is just wrong. Now, let me ask you something. What if that file wasn't about your credit? What if it was about your health care?
One of my listeners called in to Chapter because the Medicare cost just kept going up and nobody could tell him why. His Chapter advisor started digging and discovered the record being used on him to make decisions about his coverage was actually incorrect. It wasn't right. It wasn't him.
He got it fixed. Chapter got it fixed and then helped him find better options. Chapter's advisors aren't paid to push you towards one plan or another. They're just there to help you find out exactly what makes sense for your situation, so you have some peace of mind. When somebody else is making decisions based on a file about you, it's probably worth making sure they're reading the right file. They compare every medical plan nationwide. They save people an average of $1,100 a year in health care savings in this audience, it's free, it takes 20 minutes. Dial Pound 250, say the keyword chapter. Pound 250, keyword chapter.

So it's Saturday afternoon, Twins Fall, Idaho, very small little town, great town. It's 2.3 in the afternoon, Jordan Salinas and his girlfriend are sitting in the drive-through at the In-N-Out on Blue Lakes Boulevard. Their plan is just, let's have some lunch, then we'll maybe go ride some horses. And that's when people start running. They thought at first it was a kitchen fire. That's what the mind does. It reaches for the ordinary explanation first, because the ordinary explanation is almost always the right one. Employees are coming running out the doors, people are crossing the road in a dead sprint, kitchen fire has to be, then pop, pop, pop, pop. He gets out of the car. He says it was automatic, mechanical. The only thing he remembers from those seconds is his girlfriend saying, don't, don't, what, what, honey. Out in that lot was a 24 year old man with a rifle. He had already fired into the restaurant. He was firing at cars, cab driver was charging his Tesla in the parking lot, got hit. A man named Lane was just sitting at the stoplight, watching the bullets go into the car directly in front of him. And then the bullets started going the other direction, a pistol from the drive-through line. Then somewhere else in the same lot, an off-duty Idaho state police trooper doing exactly the same thing. He didn't like it when bullets started firing both ways, at least Salinas didn't. He turned away from the restaurant, moved into the open parking lot, and killed himself.
Cohen said the shooter was focused on the man shooting back at him, and that's what let everybody else get out. But three people still died. Seven were wounded, two of them are critical condition. One of the dead worked at the counter in a building that had just been opened for nine days.
Jordan Salinas is 35 He works in health care. He lives in Kimberly. And in 2021, he was there at a shooting at the Boise Town Square Mall that killed two people. It was then and there that he decided that's not going to happen again. If I'm around, it's not going to happen again. He decided he was going to learn how to use a firearm. So for five years, he drove out to the desert outside Eden on weekends and he practiced five years every Saturday. He told the Idaho Statesman he had never pointed a gun at so much as an animal.
