Sheriff Lombardo highlighted the bravery of Officer Brady, who was wounded when the shooter redirected fire toward police vehicles. The hosts pivot to a discussion on the drug Chantix (Varenicline), citing past reports of "involuntary intoxication" leading to violent behavior. They speculate that the shooter's pharmacology is being overlooked to protect pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer.

New scientific evidence links the smoking-cessation drug Chantix (Varenicline) to increased thoughts of aggression and violence. The hosts reiterate their theory that actor Mel Gibson's recent public outbursts may be a side effect of the drug. they argue that mainstream media suppresses this connection because Pfizer, the manufacturer of Chantix, is a major advertiser.

A two-minute television advertisement for the smoking cessation drug Chantix is analyzed for its extensive list of warnings. The FAA has banned the drug's use by air traffic controllers due to risks of mania, hostility, and suicidal thoughts. The hosts mock the "life-threatening skin rash" warning and the Sopranos-esque accent of the actress in the commercial.
