There 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: has been some leagues that have come out from some 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 1: Senate members who now say they are extremely worried that 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: the votes are there for gun control measures that would 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: ban quote assault weapons to actually happen.

Now this started 33 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: to break Sunday morning when Republican Senator to me went 34 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: on TV and said something that started to make massive 35 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: waves through the inner workings of Washing INDC. That is 36 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: when my phone started blowing up. I knew that there 37 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: was some legitimacy to this when I started getting phone 38 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: calls from people in the gun industry, including those with 39 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: advocacy groups, who are asking me what I've been what 40 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: I've been hearing from different senators and congressmen that I'm 41 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: close to. I then started making phone calls. Many of 42 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: them were shocked at how quickly apparently some Republicans have 43 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: started to cave on this issue of gun control because 44 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: they believe now that your Second Amendment right is not absolute, 45 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: which is one of the talking points that Joe Biden 46 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: has been using over and over again. When we had 47 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: this mass shooting in Texas and also the one in Buffalo. 48 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: He has lied to the American people saying, for example, 49 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: you couldn't own a cannon when the Second Amendment was written. 50 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: That is also a lie, a lie that the fact 51 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: checkers have checked, and he keeps telling that lie. Then 52 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: he want to step further this week, and many people 53 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: were scratching their heads and asking themselves this important question. 54 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: Why did Joe Biden start attacking nine millimeter weapons? He 55 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: said that a nine millimeter would quote blow your lungs 56 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 1: out of your body if you're shot with it. That's 57 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: a lie. It is because apparently they had been doing 58 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: some vote counting in DC and they realize that they 59 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: have possibly as many as half of the Republicans in 60 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: the Senate that are willing to work with the Democrats 61 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: on gun control. Now, you may not realize how these 62 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: votes work. So I'm going to get down into the minutian. 63 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: I will say it again please share our podcast with 64 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: your family and friends, because this is when you need 65 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: to get loud. This is when you need to be 66 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: calling your congressman and your sentator. Do not take them 67 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: for granted if they have an RNX to their name. 68 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: What has happened so far is there apparently has not 69 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: been any basically advocacy going on in Washington for the 70 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: Second Amendment for the right to bear arms. They now 71 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 1: believe that the support of the Second Amendment is wavering 72 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to quote, assault weapons and a R 73 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: fifteens now centator to me, went on face the nation 74 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: and really, in a way I think kind of grandstand. 75 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: He started a grandstand because he said, in his words, 76 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you this exact sentence and listen. Because 77 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: Pat Toomey is a guy. He's not like an AOC. Okay, 78 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: he's not a he's not a flamethrower type of guy. Okay, 79 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: he's not a Donald Trump. He's not going to go 80 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: out there and really talk smack. He doesn't do that. 81 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: It's not his style. So when a Pat Toomey said 82 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: something like this, I you need to pay great attention 83 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: to what he's actually saying and what he said was quote, 84 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: my hope is will get half of the Senate Republicans 85 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: to vote for a deal. Now, they're not calling it 86 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: gun control, they're calling it a gun deal. Now. Senor 87 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: Pat Toomey, who is a Republican from Pennsylvania, apparently started 88 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: with older quote statesman's in his statement in the Senate 89 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: and wanted to talk to people that may not run 90 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: for reelection. He says that he does believe now that 91 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: at least half of his Republican colleagues in the Senate 92 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: would vote for a gun package. He's currently negotiating with 93 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: the Democrats. Now, if that's the other part that needs 94 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: to be sending up red flags to all of you, 95 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: Why are the Republicans even negotiating on a gun package? Now, 96 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to take you back to the House. We 97 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: were just talking about the Senate, and this is connecting 98 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: those dots. Earlier this week, there was gun legislation that 99 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: was brought up and pushed in the House, and Representative Squalwell, 100 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: a hardcore lefty who is a leader of the anti 101 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: gun movement of the younger generation the House of Representatives, 102 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: was pretty blunt about what he thought about a R fifteens. 103 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: He's now saying and using this, and this is going 104 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: to be I think the talking point you're going to 105 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: see from all Democrats across the board, and that is this, 106 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: we are a country of unrestricted weaponry. I've heard that 107 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: line for the last seventy two hours from Democrats all 108 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: over the country, some of them running for elections, some 109 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: of them not on TV and in different things. They 110 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: are going to keep saying this phrase, we are quote 111 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: a country of unrestricted weaponry. They also are going to 112 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: say that we've debunked the idea that good guys with 113 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,239 Speaker 1: a gun stopped the bad guys with a gun. In fact, 114 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: they're making the argument that are even our police, who 115 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: are the good guys with a gun, cannot stop the 116 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: bad guys with the guns. And they say, here's why, 117 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: because we've allowed the bad guys to buy these horrible weapons, 118 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: these AR fifteens, these AK forty sevens, We've allowed them 119 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: to buy them, and now they're outgunning our police. So 120 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: this is their closing argument to the American people, These 121 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: weapons of war are need to be restricted because we're 122 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: a country of unrestricted weaponry, and that's why crimes out 123 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: of control in this country. Forget the fact, they're the 124 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: ones that actually moved to defund the police. If you 125 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: want to know why crime is out of control in 126 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: this country, and especially in liberal states and liberal cities, 127 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: it is because liberals have defunded the police. They have 128 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: decided to not prosecute people for crimes. They've done what 129 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: they referred to as bail reform in prison reformer, they 130 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: want to let out as many people as they possibly 131 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: can from actually going to jail. And Representive Squawell was 132 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: making really the opening argument for this bill in the Senate, 133 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: and here is what he had to say. Now, you're 134 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: going to disagree. If you're a conservative that understands the Constitution, 135 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: if you understand the Second Amendment, you are gonna want 136 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: to yell at the audio I'm about to play for you. 137 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: Don't do that. I want you to listen to his 138 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: argument so that you understand how to fight back against it. 139 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: And I also want you to listen to how he 140 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: talks about this legislation. The reason why I say that 141 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: is because you wouldn't be making the speech that Representatives 142 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: Squalwell is making unless you were really close on the 143 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: votes you need to pass a massive gun control bill 144 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: in the United States Congress that includes the House and 145 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: the Senate. Listen to Squalwell and his logic. What we 146 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 1: have come to see across America is that our law 147 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: enforcement are just outgunned. We're a country of unrestricted weaponry 148 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: that continues to put the most dangerous weapons in the 149 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: hands of the most dangerous people. So we could hire 150 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,079 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand retired police officers, but if we are 151 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: a country that has over one hundred million assault rifles, 152 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: they're just outgunned. And that's what we saw in Evalde, 153 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: and tragically, in twenty sixteen in Dallas, Texas, five brave 154 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: police officers, SWAT trained police officers were murdered by a 155 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: killer with an assault rifle. So I think we've debunked 156 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: the idea that the answer to a killer with an 157 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: assault rifle is to have more quote unquote good guys 158 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: with guns. The good guys with guns are outgunned by 159 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: the bad guys that we've given guns in our country. 160 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: That is the closing argument for the Democrats on why 161 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: we should ban these firearms. This is the game plan 162 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: for how to take away your right to protect into 163 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: and your family. You just heard it. You now know 164 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,479 Speaker 1: what the mindset is of the House with Representative Squalwell 165 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: saying that we are quote a country of unrestricted weaponry, 166 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: and we and this they're his words, and we've debunked 167 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: the idea of good guys with guns, stop bad guys 168 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: with guns. He says that the police are outgunned. He 169 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: says that you are outgun it's because we gave them 170 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,559 Speaker 1: these guns. Those are his words, and he said, look 171 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: look at what we saw on you Valding. And tragically, 172 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: in twenty and sixteen in Dallas, Texas, quote, five brave 173 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: police officers swat train police officers were murdered by a 174 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: killer with an assault rifle. So I think we have 175 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: debunked the idea that the answer to a killer with 176 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: an assault rifle is to have more quote unquote good 177 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: guys with guns. The good guys with guns are outgunned 178 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: by the bad guys, and we've given guns. We've given 179 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: them the guns in this country, in our country. So 180 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: the votes are there in the House. That's what I 181 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: think you're hearing. And I don't think Squalwell would be 182 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: making these statements without him doing the vote count. And 183 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: I've been told now by two different senators tonight when 184 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: I sent messages that they said, if the vote was tonight, 185 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: they do believe in the Senate they have the votes 186 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: to pass gun control. Did you hear me? And this 187 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: is because we've not been loud enough and we've not 188 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: been calling our Republican congressman, senators. Democrats cannot do this 189 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: without us. When I say us, they cannot do it 190 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: without the Republican Party. They cannot do it without the 191 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: Republican Rhinos. They cannot do it without the swamp. Okay, 192 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: understand that, which brings me to the Senate and the 193 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: Republican Senator Pat Toomey. Listen carefully to what he said 194 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: on face the nation. Now, why did he put this 195 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: out there? Because he's trying to see what the pushback 196 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: will be. And when I say pushback, it's not for him, 197 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: it's for his Republican colleagues. As he's counting, you know, 198 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot of them. They're saying to them, hey, 199 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm kind of moving forward this. Hey I probably would 200 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: vote for it, but I want to see some polling. 201 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: I want to see if there is outrage. I want 202 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: to see if people will totally come after me, reject me, 203 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: and be angry with me right, That's that's what he's saying. 204 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: So Pat Toomey's like, I got this. I'll go on TV. 205 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell people that half the Republicans are looking like 206 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna do this with me. And then you guys, 207 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: see what your phone calls look like all next week, 208 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: how much of your base you're gonna lose. So I'm 209 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: gonna play for you now again, Listen to this, I 210 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: tell people, don't be angry, don't roll your eyes. Okay, 211 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: don't go give me a break. Pat Toomey, you suck. 212 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: Listen to his logic and what he's saying, because you're 213 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: gonna learn. We need to actually listen to their argument 214 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: so we know how to beat them. We turned out 215 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: of the pen Sylvania Republican Senator Pat Toomey. He is 216 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: one of the senators involved in bipartisan efforts to reduce 217 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: By the way, that's the number one lie that yet 218 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: to understand about what It scares the hell out of 219 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: me with Pat Toomey and these other Republicans. They say 220 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: they're on this bipartisan panel to reduce gun violence. That 221 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: is a lie. This is not about reducing gun violence. 222 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: This is about gun control. And they're wrapping it in 223 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: a package that they can describe as oh, no, no, no, 224 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: this is not us going for gun control. This is 225 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: us going for quote, reducing gun violence. Two totally different things, right, 226 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: That's how they're going to sell this, and the media 227 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: is helping them do it. That's why she introduced it 228 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: that way. Listeners to this as a Republican Senator Pat Toomey, 229 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: Listen to what he's sang working with the Democrats. Senator, welcome, 230 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: good Margaret. The numbers are pretty staggering here. There have 231 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: been two hundred and thirty nine mass shootings in twenty 232 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: twenty two, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which is 233 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: a nonprofit that tracks these. Overnight, there was one in Philadelphia, 234 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: three people killed, fourteen injured using a semi automatic weapon. 235 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: What has happened to the American people that has taken 236 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: violence to this level? Yeah, well, it's a it's a 237 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: complex and multifaceted problem, as you know, Margaret. In some 238 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: cases criminality and our big cities has escalated enormously. There's 239 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: a lot of factors contributing to that. In some cases, 240 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: it's district attorneys who think their job is to make 241 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: sure no one goes to jail. That's a problem. And 242 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: then of course we have these these horrific, sensational massacres 243 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: where a young man clearly has just gone completely off 244 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: the rails and is deranged, and that's a very different 245 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: set of circumstances. So it's a it's a big complicated problem. 246 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: By the way, you noticed how he did not talk 247 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: about gun control there, right, Look at this, it's about 248 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: reducing gun violence. That's how we masquerade this, That's how 249 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: we sign you up to buy into this. This is 250 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: how we pull on the heartstrings of conservative women, specifically 251 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: in mothers, and that's what they're betting on here, is 252 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: that they can get enough conservative women to break with 253 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: their husbands or their old school hunting families and say, look, 254 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: I support a Republican who gets rid of quote these 255 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: assault weapons because I'm in favor of saving lives. The 256 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: marketing of this is absolutely brilliant, and that's why Pat 257 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: Toomey is leading the way on this. He's marketing this, 258 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: and it's extremely smart marketing because the entire first statement 259 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: there was not about guns, right, It's about saving lives. 260 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: So let's move to the second part of the conversation. 261 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: Question number two Fumen. Most attempts to try to create 262 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: any kind of solution have stopped. But Democrats and Republicans 263 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,359 Speaker 1: we just mentioned are negotiating right now to get something. 264 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: Democrats need ten Republican votes. You're one of six Republicans 265 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: working with Senator Chris Murphy. He said today that you 266 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: all are writing this legislation right now. It will not 267 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: ban assault weapons, it will not have comprehensive background checks. 268 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: As part of it. Is your proposal to expand background 269 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: checks still in it. Now. Notice what she just said 270 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: there and understand it. Wow, we were being told that 271 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: you're doing this bill without background checks in there, and 272 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: without assault weapons bans in there. Okay, so immediately you 273 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: should take a big deep breath right and say, oh, 274 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: everything's going to be fine. No, you shouldn't, And the 275 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,359 Speaker 1: reason why you shouldn't is because you're about to understand 276 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: how they're going to lie to you until the very 277 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: last moment. Listen to the response from this Republican Senator 278 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: Pat Toomey. Well, I certainly hope we're going to have 279 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: an expansion of background checks. You know, Senator Mansion and 280 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: I have been working on this for a long time 281 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 1: and we've tried to establish that at least for commercial 282 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: sales of firearms there ought to be a background check, 283 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: So sales at gun shows, sales that are advertised over 284 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: the internet. I don't know that we'll get exactly what 285 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: Senator Mansion and I developed some years ago. It would 286 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: probably be something different than that, And that's fine. There 287 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: are a number of mechanisms you could use to expand 288 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 1: background checks, but I just think it makes sense. We 289 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: all agree that violent criminals and deranged, dangerously mentally ill 290 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: people shouldn't have firearms. So we need a mechanism to 291 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: increase the likelihood that will identify such a person and 292 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: prevent them from buying a gun legally anyway. And so 293 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: that's the idea behind expanding background checks. All right, So 294 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: it's not going to happen centator, is it? Well? I 295 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: certainly hope it does. Okay, So the first thing that 296 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: the reporter said was not in the bill is in 297 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: the bill. When I tell you that if you care 298 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: about your Second Amendment rights, you need to pay attention 299 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: and you need to get involved, this is exactly why 300 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: I'm warning you. This is me throwing up the fireworks, 301 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 1: the red flag that whatever, and telling you listen, please, 302 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: you need to call right now. You need to call 303 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: your congressman, you need to call your senator. If they're 304 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: a Republican, the Democrat's already gone. They're ready to sign 305 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: this thing, seal it up, deliver it, and go here 306 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: you go. Okay, that's their thing. They have no problem 307 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: with this bill. They've been wanting it for years, and 308 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: now they're getting close because they're changing the way that 309 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: you market it. They're changing the way that you sell it. 310 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: This is how you sell it, folks, and they're finally 311 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 1: getting smart enough to realize, you don't call it gun control. 312 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: You call it saving a life, you call it, you know, protection, 313 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: you don't call it gun control. And then you lie 314 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: to people about what's in the bill. Now, Republican Pat 315 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: Toomey was on face the nation. Pat Toomey, by the way, 316 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 1: is a very vanilla guy. Okay. I said this earlier 317 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: and I'll say it again. He's not a grandstander. He's 318 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: not a guy that's out there trying to, you know, 319 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, get every headline and get into Twitter wars 320 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: with people. And he's not he's that's just not his 321 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: m But what he's been advocating for for a long time, 322 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: is doing some things on gun control. But he's smart. 323 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: He doesn't call it that. He calls about protecting people 324 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: and things. It's very smart. Now, Lie number one is 325 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: about this bill and Face the Nation set this up 326 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,640 Speaker 1: brilliantly with the Senator. Well, we've been told in this 327 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: bill that there's not going to be gun control. We've 328 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: been told in this buildre would not be background checks. 329 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: Is that still true, senator? And the Senator said, well, 330 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 1: we certainly hope that there's going to be background check 331 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: movement in this bill. We certainly hope that that's going 332 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: to happen. Well, if you're the guy right in the 333 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: damn bill, then you know that you're going to put 334 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: it in the bill. You're That's the reason why he's 335 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: on TV. That's the reason why he's unfaced the nation 336 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: because he is literally the guy. Okay, he's literally the 337 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: guy who is writing the bill or leading the writing 338 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: of this bill. So the idea you say, well, I 339 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: certainly hope that these measures will be in the bill. 340 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: Of course they're going to be in the bill. You're 341 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: the guy doing it. But if they lull you to 342 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: sleep and you're not paying attention. You're not calling your 343 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: center and you're not calling your congressman. This is how 344 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: this happens. And all of a sudden, before you know it, 345 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: you're like Canada. Look at Canada. Look at what has 346 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: happened in Canada. Canada, folks, Canada. This is how quick 347 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: it happens. They come out. Trudeau comes out after the 348 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 1: people in Canada stood up to the government for the 349 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: first time really in my lifetime, on vaccine mandates. Okay, 350 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: that's what happened, That's what with a this was. And 351 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: they use their eighteen wheelers and they came in. They 352 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: started treating them like domestic terrorists. Do not forget that. 353 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: And the people that were helping the truckers and bring 354 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: in the diesel to keep their trucks going, they treated 355 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: them like domestic terrorists. They categorize them and rested them 356 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 1: and seize their cards and their belongings as domestic terrorists. 357 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: And they realize, holy crap, these people are out of control. 358 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 1: They're standing up to us where you're supposed to dictate 359 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: to them. They're supposed to be our minions. What do 360 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: we do now, Well, we take away their guns. And 361 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: they didn't just take away their guns. They took away 362 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: the right to protect and defend themselves with handguns. You 363 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: can no longer buy, sell or transfer a handgun in Canada. 364 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: That's what Trudeau said. And this is in Canada. So 365 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: if you think that, we're like, oh, I don't need 366 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: to be involved right now, right because it's gonna be fine. 367 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 1: They're not gonna there's no way they'll actually pass this legislation. 368 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: This is not really gonna happen. We'll call your friends 369 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: in Canada and ask them what just happened to them. 370 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: If you listen to me very often, you know I 371 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: am not an alarmist. I'm not an activist talk show host. Okay, 372 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: I'm a commentator. I'll tell you what's going on, tell 373 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: you why it's happening. I'm more analyze it and explain 374 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 1: it to you and then come up with a way 375 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: to fight back or logical ways to undermine their arguments. 376 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: But I'm usually not on here beating the death. So 377 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: I can call your senator and congressmen, mostly because I 378 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: think they suck, mostly because I know in reality they 379 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: don't listen to us. But on this issue, guns is 380 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: a third rail, and we just had the third rail 381 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: blown up with abortion, right, So why not go all right, 382 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna do this on abortion. That will 383 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: blow up the third rail on our side, which is 384 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: part of the logic here. You get enough people in 385 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: the media beating the drum for enough years as well 386 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: as we've witnessed, and you get enough of these shootings 387 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: on TV where you can exploit them and never let 388 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: a quote tragedy go to waste, which is what they 389 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: say Democrats say that, then you can finally get enough 390 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: people around you and say, you know what, screw it, 391 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm in. You can get that, you can finally get 392 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: enough people are in and around you that they say, 393 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: all right, I'm in, I'll do it. Why not, right, like, 394 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 1: let's do it. Fine, I'll do it. So let's go 395 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: to that second part of the question. Center to me. 396 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: Listen to this from Face the Nation, So to be clear, 397 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: because you had proposed the mansion to me background check 398 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: expansion in twenty thirteen, twenty fifteen, twenty nineteen, you're saying 399 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 1: what's surviving right now is essentially a watered down version 400 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: of that. How is it different? Well, this is a 401 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: moving target, if you will. We're still in discussions and 402 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 1: we are still trying to figure out exactly what mechanism 403 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: is going to enable us to get the votes that 404 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: we would need. So so I can't be precise about that, Marrid. 405 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: It hasn't been finally resolved, but something in the space 406 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: of expanding background checks I think is very well. It 407 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: certainly is on the table, and I hope will be 408 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: part of a final package. Well, we see overwhelming support 409 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: in our CBS polling for background checks, which is why 410 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: it's interesting that it's difficult there it is, there's your 411 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: there's your your clothes from her. Well, the American people 412 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly support this, advocate for it, and want it. We're 413 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: behind you, Senor. To me, we want you to have this. 414 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: Senter to me, we love what you're doing here to me, 415 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: don't give up, Senor to me, make stands strong to me, 416 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: make sure that you're there. To me, we want you 417 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: to be there. To me, we want you to advocate 418 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: for this. To me, we want you to do this. 419 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: To me. We're right here with you too me. Senator, 420 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: you're doing a great thing. We need you. We here 421 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: at CBS News and our poll shows overwhelming support, right, 422 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: overwhelming support for this and we need you to really 423 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: be there, We need you to to keep pushing, and 424 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: we're going to give you the cover that you need 425 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: to do it. That was the conversation you literally just heard, right. 426 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: That's it, Folks like that. That's the actual conversation. So 427 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: she says, let's move on because they're not done. They 428 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: need your guns, folks. But this isn't about guns, No, 429 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: this is about this is about saving lives. Bill. There 430 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: was a Republican congressman in the state of New York. 431 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure you heard about this, Chris Jacobs. He represents 432 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: the district around Buffalo where there was that awful mass 433 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: shooting just a few weeks ago. He dropped out of 434 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: his reelection race after seven days after he publicly endorsed 435 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 1: a federal assault weapons ban and limits on high capacity magazines. 436 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: This is what he had to say. We have a 437 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: problem in our country in terms of both our major parties. 438 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: If you stray from a party position, you are annihilated. 439 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: For the Republicans. It it became pretty apparent to me 440 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: over the last week that issue is gun control, any 441 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: gun control. Do you agree with him? No, I don't. 442 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: I think there's a wide range of opinions among elected Republicans, 443 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: just as there are among Republican voters across the country. 444 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: In my case, I wrote a bill with Senator Mansion 445 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: and advocated for expanding background checks in twenty thirteen. As 446 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: you pointed out again in twenty fifteen, we right, but 447 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 1: you couldn't get enough Republicans get elected. I was. I 448 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: was reelected without a primary challenge, So I think that 449 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: that tells you something also, Well, excuse me, I'm sorry 450 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: my voice. The President himself has campaigned on this idea 451 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: that he can be a deal broker. Does he need 452 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: to get involved or does the involvement of the president 453 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: lessen the chances of success here? Yeah? The problem is 454 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: I think the president might have been a president who 455 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: would reach across the aisle try to bring people together, 456 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: but he's chosen not to take that approach. Since day one. 457 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: He has sided with the far left of his party 458 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: and really not reached out to Republicans. He gave a 459 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: speech on this topic where he advocated policies that he 460 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: knows for sure have no chance of passing the Senate, 461 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: probably couldn't even get fifty votes and hold the Democrats, 462 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: much less to get the sixty we would need, so 463 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: once again, the President is not being very helpful. I 464 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: think at the end of the day, this is going 465 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: to come down to whether we can reach a consensus. 466 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: In the United States Senate, there are intensive discussions underway. 467 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: It includes people who have not been engaged on this 468 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 1: issue in the past. I certainly can't guarantee any outcome, 469 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,719 Speaker 1: but it feels to me like we are closer than 470 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: we've been since I've been in the Senate. That last 471 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: sentence right there, it feels closer than it's ever been 472 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,959 Speaker 1: since I've been the Senate. Quote. It includes people who 473 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: have not been engaged on this issue in the past. 474 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: I can't certainly guarantee any outcome, but it feels to 475 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: me like we are closer than we've been since I've 476 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: been in the Senate. That's a long time, folks. You 477 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: gotta understand. Pat Toomey has been around. He's a He's 478 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: not a first term senator. Okay. This is a guy 479 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: that took office in two and eleven. It's two twenty two. 480 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: He's been elected several times. He was a representative by 481 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: the way back in the nineties in Congress as a 482 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: as a Republican member of the House. So he's been 483 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: in Washington since nine nine, so he's been there for 484 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: twenty three years. And when he says this is the 485 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: closest we've ever been to getting something done like this, 486 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: he's not lying to you. He's telling you the truth, 487 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: which means you have an option as an American right now, 488 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: and you have a decision that you have to make. 489 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: Are you going to sit on your abs and do 490 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: nothing and assume that your Second Amendment rights are going 491 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: to be okay? Or are you going to call and 492 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: get involved with your congressman, your senators. Because I have 493 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: been told again I rarely text senators that I have numbers, right, 494 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 1: they get a million texts and I just I usually 495 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: don't do it. But every single one of the Republican 496 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: senators that I texted this past weekend all said to me, 497 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: this is the closest the Democrats have ever been to 498 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: passing an assault weapons ban. And as one senator said 499 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: to me today, if the vote was today, they believe 500 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: it would pass. Pat to me, put it this way, quote, 501 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: I can't certainly can't guarantee any outcome, but it feels 502 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: to me like we are closer than we've been since 503 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: I've been in the Senate. Now, the question is what 504 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: Republicans are going to the dark side to take away 505 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: your freedom and your Second Amendment rights. Well, that question 506 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: was basically asked, so you can get four other Republicans 507 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: to stand with you, the six who are negotiating. My 508 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 1: hope is will get a lot more than that. My 509 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: hopes will we'll get at least half the Republican conference. Um, 510 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: you know that that's that should be the goal here. 511 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: We're going to have to be realistic about what can 512 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: do that. Senator Murphy alluded to the idea that it's 513 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 1: not going to be everything certainly that Democrats would like. Um, 514 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: we'll see where it ends up. Is there a risk 515 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: that the Republican Party becomes associated with gun violence if 516 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: you can't get those votes? By the way I would 517 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: this is the part where Pat Toomey should have lost 518 00:30:54,840 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: it on this interview. Is there a point where the 519 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: Republican Party is worried that they are tied to gun 520 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: violence like we're advocating, Yes, Republicans are out there every 521 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: day advocating for people killing people. Are you kidding me? 522 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: We're the ones that are demanding truth and sentencing on 523 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: those that commit heinous gun crimes. We're the ones that 524 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: are demanding they actually lock people up. We're the ones 525 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: that are demanding more police. We're the ones that are 526 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,479 Speaker 1: demanding that these activists das that refuse to put anybody 527 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: in jail for anything, including violent crimes with guns, stop 528 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: doing that. We are the ones that are demanding all 529 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: of the things that I just mentioned, every single one 530 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: of these things that we're the ones that are demanding it. 531 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: But there you are with a hard core liberal on 532 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: TV on Face Nation, Well you worried that the Republican 533 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: Party is going to be associated with this gun violence America. 534 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: Like you're the advocates. You're the ones supporting it, advocating 535 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: for it. Right, That's that's exactly what's being said here. 536 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: This is how bad the propaganda is, right, Like, this 537 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: is the propaganda. This is it, folks, This is the 538 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: ball game for them. This is how you set it up, 539 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: this is how you do it. And if Toomey was smarty, 540 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: would say, I reject the premise of your question. How absurd? 541 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: How dare you say that the Republican Party is the 542 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 1: party of death right? You're the guys that have been 543 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: supporting Black Lives Matter and in Tiefa that have been 544 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: torching and burning down cities for the last several years. 545 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: You're the ones that support that Black lives matter? Who chant? 546 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: What do we want dead cops when we want them now? 547 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: Pigs in a blanket? Fry them like Bacon's right, Death 548 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: to America? They chant in California and the Democratic Party 549 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: at the highest levels, including the President the Vice President, 550 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: have been advocating, supporting and telling people to donate to 551 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter. So does Pat Toomey get angry? No? 552 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: Why because he's one of them? Listen, you know, Look, 553 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: I think the Republicans have been are consistently supporters of 554 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: second Second Amendment rights. Republican voters expect Republicans to defend 555 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: the Second Amendment. I think there is a place to 556 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: land that's consistent with the Second Amendment. As I've been 557 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: advocating for expanding background checks. By the way, I think 558 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: encouraging states to have some kind of red flag laws 559 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: could make sense as long as there's an adequate due process. 560 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: I think there are school safety provisions, there are mental 561 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: health issues that we could address, So there are things 562 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: we could do that would be constructive that are consistent 563 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: with Republican values. And I'm hoping we'll get there. And 564 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: I'm hoping we'll get there. We'll guess what he's saying. 565 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: We're the closest we've ever been. So this is your 566 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: big warning. This is the big moment. This is where 567 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm shooting off the fireworks into the night sky, trying 568 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: to get your attention.

Because I'm not in favor of 573 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: gun control. I'm not in favor a banning our right 574 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: to bear arms.

But if we don't wake up and 578 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: we don't pay attention, they're going to win this battle. 579 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 1: And you're gonna wake up one day and you're gonna go, 580 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: holy crap, just like they did in Canada.
