"America land of the free home of the Dan bongino show So we're going to talk a lot of fixes today too Fixes things we can do to lower the risk of something like this remember happening again because that's what we should be doing But of course because we're a country so obsessed with partisan politics seconds seconds after a bloody shooting that killed a bunch of kids Sadly we got to deal with idiots in the news who are obsessed with getting votes on their next Let me take your guns billed and they are about actually fixing So we're not going to do that We're going to actually talk about fixes later And I have a friend of mine He was a colleague who was an actual expert in this His name is Jeff James He's been on my Fox show a lot He's a former Secret Service agent with me He's actually on Fox right now which is there you go It's my buddy man Perfect I didn't even know them Oh he was doing that first Okay well he's good and he's the guy to have on Jeff will be on later We're going to talk about actual fixes You see ways to stop this kind of stuff because that's what we did for a living in our last line of work We didn't get around in a big powwow in a circle here When the grenade was thrown on stage at president Bush and go man man we gotta do grenade control legislate That'll definitely do it That'll stop this why Why didn't we do that Because we're actual lives at stake But again when it's your kids nobody seems to care It's all about the latest Bill and the anti gun lobby how they can get more donations to push a bill and how do we do this while the blood's still on the ground So a couple of things questions we should be asking inconvenient questions for the left You know conservatives us and liberty lovers out there and even a lot of moderate Democrats who have said for years that the culture rot in this country is getting to the point and no return We're crossing the event horizon here We're about to venture into a black hole of morality that we don't want to venture into Why Why are we there What happened to the culture You know arguments we've been making for a long time about the value of family and the value of faith But usually scoff that by the left so much so where when you say my thoughts and prayers are with you to a family or someone who's been through this or someone who's mourning the left thinks that's hilarious thoughts and prayers They'll actually make fun of you That's where we are That's where we are Now what happened to our culture folks How did we get to the point where a friend of mine Sames Tim this is actual name I'm going to give you his last name but another former colleague He grew up in independence Missouri I think he's called Missouri Independence Missouri He used to tell me stories about you know when he was 12 and 13 years old out with a 22 you know hunting in the Woods Tell me stories about going to school and everybody had to pick up and rifle right in the back in Iraq so And guns in schools for for a long time But you know it's really strange Tim never told me about thankfully any kind of mass shooting at his school Guns been around forever Guns have been around since before the Revolutionary War since the inception of this great country we call the United States of America So why now The guns haven't changed Maybe the technologies but the bill of the gun the projectile the gunpowder the technology is as old as this country So if that hasn't changed what has kids have gone into schools and murdered other kids Something's changed folks You know you know my rule right One of many I have on the show but anyone who cites their education at an argument is typically an idiot It's a way to credential war someone But I can now credential you I can say something dumb and cite my credentials That's why I hate when people do that But in rare cases on the show it's applicable You know I spent 6 years of my academic life studying psychology and sociology because I really love the topic Four years in college and in two years and graduate school who cares But you do a couple things I picked up but some of it was a waste of time A lot of it was just theoretical but some things you do pick up some pretty decent stuff along the way And here's my opinion on this You know when I grew up and I know Jim and Mike as well roughly around my age You know boys acted like boys and they weren't chastised for it We got into mischief I mean listen some of the mischief we got chased us and we deserved it I mean I'll never forget mister Kate and on my corner Nice old guy but he had a bad temper and we used to play ring and run and he called me one time and he had nails and he caught me by the neck and scratched my neck so hard man I never forgot that I'll tell you what I never played ring and run again with mister cayton But I learned the valuable lesson and when I went home and my mom said what's that What's that on your neck there You know what's the funny thing is I was embarrassed to tell her I didn't even tell her they got lied about it or something I lied about it because I knew my mom you know what Would a smack out of me again Today they're probably parents are taught to go down and sue the guy or something like that You know but when I was a boy we used to play war I had the jagu Matic It was a cap gun and man was that real looking It was pretty real It looked like a 9 millimeter handgun It looked real It was a cap gun of obviously It was you know ten 12 13 years old right And we used to be on weekends man We would get up early and we would play we would dig trenches and we had little backyards It wasn't like I lived in the city I lived in Queens But we had a little maybe ten by ten patch I dig a ditch in air and like hide in there for like hours at a time waiting And I remember when my friend Andy got a fake like bazooka mister launcher looked like a tall missile and look now Fake admit he pressed the button to make it sound And we thought oh my gosh we're gonna win war every time now And we would spend weekends for probably 5 years from out of ten till probably when I was May 4 years so I was about 14 and we'd play war every weekend And we had this guy chaz man this kid chaz he lived I lived up in 64th place in cypress hill in Glendale queens And he's called up on the hill because he was literally a hell And there's houses he would like to town homes Like you see remember in all in the family Archie bunker ever see that At the beginning that's actually filmed in Glendale where I lived It's down for me down the road but that's what they look like Townhomes back to back Little thin thin thin alleyways between each home right.

"Subdivisions, just wide open range. Now, ranchers drive their cattle to U.S. forest service land. The largest grazing allotment in the country, 127,000 acres of the bridger teton national forest. Last summer, they paid the federal government $1 35 cents a month for every cow and her calf. Summers. Price. How much each rancher will owe is tallied at a place called the counting gate. It's Jamie Burgess job to read brands or ear tags and call out which cows belong to which ranch. While his wife Rita adds up the totals. When the cows finally reach mountain pastures, they're handed off to range riders. Bring them. Like Britney heseltine, whose job is to watch over them all summer. And you're up here by yourself? Yes. Just be my horses, but three dogs and a cat. How long altogether? It'll be about 5 months. Every day for those 5 months, Brittany is out at dawn to check on the 600 or so cattle in her care. First thing in the morning, you come out on a rise and especially in the fall, the Elk are bugling and just talking to each other. Brittany earned her degree in veterinary science in 2019. This was her third summer as a range rider. It's really hard work. What's the attraction? What's the draw? Something about it speaks to my soul. I really can't describe what, but all winter long. I'm like, oh, a couple months more. A couple months more. And then I'll be up at home. Her home for the summer was a small trailer in an isolated camp, off the grid, no running water, no cell service. At the start of last summer, four of the 5 drift range riders were women. You told us that you thought women made the best range riders. Why would that be? Their hard workers. And I can't say that they're, you know, the men aren't good, but the women don't go to town. And as much as some of the men kind of have a tendency to visit the tavern. Yeah, they'll go. On the other side of the mountain. So what happened to the cowboys? I don't know. Maybe they're just not cut out for it. There's beauty up here. And danger too. Since listed as endangered species, wolf and grizzly bear populations have exploded in these mountains. Britney keeps track of the calves they kill. If it was actually killed by a predator, then there will be bruising on the hide on the inside. And it's very obvious. You know, like last year we lost 24 calves. They didn't come home. Now we lose between ten and 15% of our calves. It sounds like a lot. It's a lot. It would break us if it weren't for compensation program by the Wyoming game and fish department. So you get paid for every animal you lose. We do. Predators aren't the only threat to these ranchers, a growing chorus of critics argue cattle shouldn't graze on public lands at all. Consumption of beef is declining, and so is the number of ranches on the drift. There were more than 20 in the early 1990s, today just 11. The green river drift is so iconic that the cattle drive has earned a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. These remaining ranchers are determined to see that it's not just relegated to history books. So what does it mean to you to be doing what your father and your grandfather did? On the same list. That's my duck. Means a lot. It means a lot. Albert summers has no children, so to preserve this land and its tradition, he set up what's called a conservation easement. Preservationists have paid him to agree that his ranch will never be developed or subdivided, and to allow the public to use the land for recreation. That agreement will also apply to his partner ty swain as he takes over. And to his son's shed when and if he picks up the rings. So with the conservation easement, this land will not change. It will stay the same. It will stay the same. Well, no land stays the same. But this land will not be developed. And I will go to my grave peacefully with that knowledge. But just not tomorrow. Many traditions have left their mark on this land, Native Americans were forced to give way to fur traders, pioneers, and homesteaders. Today, it's the cowboy way of life that is fighting to hold on. Oh yeah. It's tied every year. I mean, we're down to the last dime at the end of the year. It sounds like you're not in it for the money. No, sir. No, we're not. You know, and if somebody says, you know, you're a rich rancher. Only rich in the fact that we're get to do what we do and we live where we live. And we get to see the sun come up over those mountains. That's the rich part of this job. It's not the money. Jeannie lockwood and her family are driving their cattle on the drift again this summer. So is Albert summers, though after 31 years in charge of the drive, he's handed that responsibility off to someone else, and Brittany hazel time, the young woman we met up in the high country, she's also back in the saddle this summer, and this year she was put in charge of hiring all the other range riders. When workers broke ground on an underground parking lot in the heart of Rome 15 years ago, they had no idea what their backhoes were about to unearth. The site turned out to be what Italian archeologists believe was once the pleasure gardens of the Roman Emperor Caligula, where some 2000 years ago all sorts of lavish parties, royal intrigue, and debauched behavior likely took place. Caligula became the third emperor of Rome in 37 AD, and he reigned for barely four years. He's been portrayed in history as one of the most deranged and despicable Roman emperors ever to rule, but as we first reported, last fall, scholars have been reexamining Caligula's story for years to see if history has it right. Could we discover some new fragments of truth and Caligula's gardens? We were more than happy to go to Rome to find out. The temples and palaces of Ancient Rome may have crumbled long ago, but the legend of one of its oddest emperors lives on. I saw sever each one at the neck. What most people know about Caligula comes from this iconic BBC series I Claudius, which was based on two historical novels by Robert graves. In the show, Caligula turns his palace into a brothel. Makes his horse a high ranking senator and declares himself a living God. It's a torrid tale of incest. Infanticide..

"Come to them. Where's she here? We're here. What's wrong with that bull right there? Today, all Americans are being asked to prepare for the grievous wounds. Oh, my God. Of high velocity rounds. The cattle drive is an enduring symbol of the American West. The image of tough cowboys pushing huge herds of cows across the open range is stamped on our imaginations. But by the 21st century with western states growing and changing fast, most horseback cattle drives have been run off the range by suburban sprawl, government regulation, lower beef consumption, and the return of protected predators. But there is a group of stubborn men and women in Wyoming, who every spring push thousands of cows along the same 70 mile route, their ancestors pioneered 125 years ago. As we first reported last fall, this throwback to the old west is called the green river drift. And it's the longest running cattle drive left in America. Just after dawn, one Saturday in June of 2021. I'm trying to help Wyoming rancher Albert summers. And his team move hundreds of cows. Most of them mothers with new calves in a cloud of dust toward high green pastures where they'll graze all summer. And if you feel inclined Bill, you can whistle, you can yell. I do anything. This is like cowboys therapy. You get to voice everything out. Come on, Indy. I do the best I can. Come on, cows. Move cows. But it's not quite as good as little SHAD swain, the son of Albert's ranching partner, tye. Jazz 5 years old? Yes. Chad, if you can do this, I can do this, okay? SHAD got to do it with a sour apple lollipop in his mouth. All of us, with the help of some fearless herding dogs move cattle over hills across creeks. Through shimmering groves of Aspen along what cowboys called driveways. And across highways, north toward those distant mountains. How long does it take you to get them to the summer feeding area? So it takes about 13 days from when we start to when we get up there. What do we want to be? We travel up to about 60 to 70 months. Albert summers is one of 11 ranchers who work together to drive more than 7000 head of cattle on the green river drift. Those 11 ranches all lie in Wyoming's green river valley, south of Jackson hole. Here, the Wyoming range is to the west, the wind river range is to the east. The valley between is part bone dry high desert, and verdant river drainage, where Native Americans once hunted buffalo. Today, the green river runs through Albert summer's ranch. And your family's been doing this how long? My family's been doing this since mount 1903. Albert's neighbor Jeannie lockwood's family has been at it even longer. This was my granddad's branch. He homesteaded this in 1889. Her ranch is about 20 miles south of Albert summer's place. We joined her on horseback before dawn, the day she started moving her cattle north. There's that sun, it's going to peak up over the hill. Along the same path, her family has trekked for 125 years. So you're going to be doing this for the next two weeks. Yes. Getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning. Or three or two 30. Or two 30. Yeah. Those early starts barely compared to what old timers endured, when cowboys stayed out under the stars all night, and the sun all day, until they got the herd to high pastures. Well, I think we can go home. What do you think? Today, they go home after each day's drive. The next morning, they trailer their horses back to where they'd left the cattle. Round up those that have strayed and move them out again before dawn. The old chuck wagon, it's been replaced by a cooler and the tailgate of a pickup truck. But compared to what your grandfather did. This is easy. Yeah, we have it easy. Only ranchers would call this easy. Driving cattle is hot, dusty, demanding, and they'll be lucky to make a $50 profit per cow when they finally send them to market. Jeannie's daughter Haley and son in law, France, help wrangle the herd. Her husband milford shuttles the horse trailers. They all left regular jobs and moved back to the ranch several years ago after Jeannie's brother, who had been running the place, died in an accident. It takes all of us to do it, it seems like so. Jeannie was a librarian. So what is it about this place? It makes you give up regular normal American jobs. And come back here to do this really hard work. Well, first of all, it was home to me. And it was hard work for my parents. And I know it was hard work for my grandparents. And I just couldn't see letting it go. Labor of love, it's called. Yeah. Where's the emphasis? Labor or love? Love. Love might sustain the green river drift, but it was born in crisis. The winner of 1889 90 is really what started the drift. Clint gilchrist is in a story and who grew up in this valley and has written about that harsh winter. And it killed off the vast majority of the cattle herds that were here because they weren't prepared for a bad winter. Nobody had prepared for a bad winter. White settlers were not prepared. Native tribes which the U.S. government drove off the land to make room for homesteaders knew that winters in the green river valley could be merciless. The shoshone Indians and the croy Indians were one of the dominant tribes in these areas. And they didn't win her here. They went over on the other side of the mountains where it was less elevation. After that brutal winter, ranchers realized they had to move their cattle out of the valley long enough to grow a crop of hay. So while the cattle were up in the uplands, you're able to grow, hey. Right. And that feeds them all winter long. Right. And so that was the genesis of what we call the drift. The drift Albert summer says because when the first fall frost chills the mountains, the cows instinctively head for home. Just on their own, turn around and start coming back. Turn around and start we open Gates. Drift back. And they drift back in the spring. We drive them. In the fall, they drift. When the drift began 125 years ago there were no regulations, no.
