Speaker 2: Let's get today's top stories.

16
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: There's always thank you for joining me here and the

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: rest of the RAV team on America's Voice Live. Recently,

18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: President Trump single that the United States could open talks

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: with Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro.

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: His tensions rise in the region.

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: The message is clear, stop the flow of narcotics into

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: the country.

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: More on that coming up today.

24
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: Also, the House of Representatives voted to release the rest

25
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: of the Epstein files not too long ago. It was

26
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: pretty lopside, and President Trump has stated that he will

27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: sign the bill as soon as it gets to his desk.

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: Of course, it will need to get through the Senate first.

29
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: More on that coming up then later.

30
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: Affordability has been a major concern for most Americans, especially

31
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: now with the holiday season right around the corner. From

32
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: rent to utilities, groceries, and more, concerns continued to mount.

33
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: All the details and updates coming your way today, but

34
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: first we start with the Epstein files.

35
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: And the Democrats.

36
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: Just like I told you yesterday, this whole Democrat narrative

37
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: trying to slime President Trump with the disgraced pedophile and

38
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: child trafficker Jeffrey Epstein is once again falling apart, in

39
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: this time in spectacular fashion. In fact, yesterday House Republicans

40
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: released a memo detailing all the ways that Democrats have

41
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: schemed to make this another get Trump scam. We already

42
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: know that Democrats selectively leaked three emails out of about

43
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: twenty three one thousand documents handed over by the Epstein estate,

44
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: making redactions that confuse the American public, like the name

45
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: of Virginia Jeffrey and her accusations against Prince Andrew, but

46
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: we don't have to call him prince anymore. Of course,

47
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: Republicans are also accusing Democrats and the Memo of leaking

48
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: pages of Epstein's infamous birthday book that included Trump, but

49
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: not publishing messages written by Bill Clinton and other very

50
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: high profile individuals at the same time refusing to help

51
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: bring in the Clintons for questioning by the Oversight Committee,

52
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: both of whom have been issued subpoenas.

53
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: By the way, the House voted.

54
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: To release the rest of the DOJ's files on Epstein earlier.

55
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: The vote was four hundred and twenty seven to one,

56
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: the nay coming from Connressman Clay Higgins of Louisiana, and

57
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Trump encouraged the release, arguing that we need

58
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: to get over it and get.

59
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: Something done to the public and move on. A lot

60
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 2: more on this coming up in this hour.

61
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: But today I want to make crystal clear what believes

62
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: as a conservative really are. I don't need the left

63
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: to put words in my mouth, and I don't need

64
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: rights to speak for me.

65
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: So we're going to go through it. Here's what I

66
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: believe maybe you do as well.

67
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: Number One, I believe America should never never depend on

68
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: another country for energy, protection or basic supplying demand needs.

69
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: We are strongest when we build, produce, and protect things

70
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: right here in the USA. I call this America. First.

71
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: Of course, I like what I'm seeing on this front

72
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: as a result of the Trump administration, and Energy Secretary

73
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: Chris Wright says it's because Donald Trump doesn't serve special

74
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: interests here.

75
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: He is.

76
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: One hundred percent of Americans are better off when energy

77
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: prices are lower. One percent of Americans pretty soil and gas,

78
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: so they're better off if oil and gas prices are higher,

79
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: but the other ninety nine percent are better off when

80
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: they're lower.

81
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: That's what makes people's lives better. That's what makes our

82
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: industry more competitive.

83
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 4: That's what makes our military able to train more and

84
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 4: be more lethal. So President Trump has a very simple

85
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 4: difference in his agenda. He's not like, well, his constituency

86
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 4: is this industry and that industry.

87
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: In these NGOs, in this group.

88
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 4: He's worried about appeasing all them.

89
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: He doesn't even think that way.

90
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: He is one constituency, one the American people. That's it.

91
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: That's it.

92
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: Number Two, I believe America must put itself first always.

93
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: We cannot pour it from an empty cup.

94
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: Our country should prioritize our own people before trying to

95
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: save the world.

96
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: It's that simple.

97
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: Our Vice President Jad Vans comes from the Appalachian region

98
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 1: of our nation, where rates of unemployment, poverty, and disease

99
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: of despair like suicide and overdose are far higher than

100
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: the rest of the country, and household income and education

101
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,679
Speaker 1: achievement are far lower than the rest of the country.

102
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: You see, he understands why the average American is pissed off.

103
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 3: Listen, he would have talked about people being pissed off. Well, yeah,

104
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: people are pissed off when they don't have good jobs,

105
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: and people are pissed off when things disa heer and

106
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 3: move overseas, and people are pissed off when they feel

107
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: like you know, other countries are being prioritized over the

108
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: United States of America, and all of that is part

109
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: of the populist resentment of the past twenty or thirty

110
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: years in American politics.

111
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people who grew.

112
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 3: Up in families like mine, who haven't had an easy life,

113
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: and who haven't had all this economic opportunity and who

114
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 3: haven't had, you know, a person that they've fallen in

115
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: love with, and they've been able to sort of build

116
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: a stable, nice family like me and who should have been

117
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: able to build. And that gives me a sense of

118
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 3: purpose because I want those people to have the same opportunities.

119
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: That I've had. But it also gives me a.

120
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: Great sense of anger because we never should have gotten

121
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: to the point that we are today, and the reason

122
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: that we have is because of failed leadership, and it's

123
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 3: failed leadership over a generation.

124
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: So true, failed leadership from a number of different people

125
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: and from both parties. I might add Number three, I

126
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: believe America should stay out of endless foreign wars. We

127
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: are not the world sugar daddy, or they're AMMO dump.

128
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: We should stop acting like it. Number four and that

129
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: same breath, I believe no foreign age should be given

130
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: until every veteran here at home is taking care of

131
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: first first.

132
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: Number five.

133
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: Speaking for foreigners, I believe immigrants do make America stronger.

134
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: I do when they come here legally.

135
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: If your first act in this country is breaking the law,

136
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: you aren't an upstanding citizen.

137
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: I'm sorry you're not. Number six.

138
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: The left wants you to believe that I hate people

139
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: who don't believe like I do. That I'm homophobic and

140
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: a bigot and a whole lot more. But let me

141
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: say this, you can marry whoever you want. I don't care.

142
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: I may not agree with your lifestyle, but your life

143
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: is not mine to judge.

144
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 2: I leave that to a much higher power.

145
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: That being said, I am a Christian and suggest everyone

146
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 1: read and follow God's word.

147
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: The Bible is.

148
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: The best selling book in the history of the world

149
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: for a reason, in fact, several reasons. Of course, my

150
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: belief in God informs my worldview. If you're a Christian,

151
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: if you do the same for you, which leads me

152
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: to this number seven. I believe men are men and

153
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: women are women. Surgery or hormones don't change that. Men

154
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: should use the men's room, women should use the women's room. Again,

155
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: simple stuff. This shouldn't be a radical opinion, but it

156
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: has become one somehow. Just watch how this town hall

157
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: audience reacts in California when Tish Hyman, a lesbian, a

158
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: black woman who produces music, tells her a story about

159
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: being assaulted in a women's locker room by a man

160
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: pretending to be a woman. The experience has lit a

161
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: fire under her. And here she's just asking California Senator

162
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: Scott Wiener to protect women under his leadership.

163
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: Listen to what she says. Are you going to protect women?

164
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: Not trans women?

165
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: Women, women's trans women are twing women women.

166
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: Listen, we need to protect women's safety. I was assault No,

167
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: they are not. They are men. I was assaulted. He

168
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: broke his wife's jaw.

169
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 5: So brash.

170
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: You need to reconstruct the suge of me. I'm a lesbian.

171
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: I'm not shy phom because I'm black. So if there's

172
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: another black woman in here who wants to tell me

173
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: how they feel, please join in. But all of you

174
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: are not. And I don't know who you are what

175
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: you are, but.

176
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm a lesbian and I'm telling you right now men

177
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: are harassing women in the locker room.

178
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: Answer the question. I'm just telling you so I want

179
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: to woo woo woo. No, just let's now.

180
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm done.

181
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: And by the way, I respect what you have to

182
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: I just want to let you know.

183
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 5: That I appreciate proNT of you.

184
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry that you were multiple times.

185
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 5: I appreciate you talking about it. I think we need

186
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 5: to protect the safety of all women, and that obviously

187
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 5: that's important. Also know that Frans women are also rualized

188
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 5: in this country, So women and are rutalizing the country

189
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 5: him and we have to protect the safety all of them.

190
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: She towards him. I'm not transphobic. I'm a lesbian. I'm

191
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: an a black woman. What a worthless non answer from

192
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: the senator. He has long advocated for the inclusion of

193
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: men and women's spaces, and he's not budging, even if

194
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: he pretends to act nice and civil towards Tish here

195
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: number eight. I believe schools are for education, not in doctrination.

196
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: Kids should learn math, history, reading, and science, not political propaganda.

197
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: They should not be taught they were born in the

198
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: wrong body or pushed into gender delusion. That should stop immediately.

199
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: Part of the solution will be taking the responsibility of

200
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: education away from the government, giving it back to the

201
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: States and more importantly, to the parents. The latest National

202
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: assessment listening to this of educational progress, the report Card,

203
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: It paints a grim picture of American education, showing that

204
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: student performance in reading, math and science has plummeted to

205
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: historic lows, but no meaningful recovery since the COVID nineteen pandemic.

206
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four, nearly seventy percent.

207
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: Of fourth and eighth graders scored A below basic and

208
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: reading the highest rate of struggling readers ever. Recordable scores

209
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: and reading and math also drops significantly from pre pandemic levels.

210
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: It gets worse, if you can believe it, among high

211
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: school seniors.

212
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: Seniors nearly eighty percent are not proficient in math and

213
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: two thirds not proficient in reading, with average scores and

214
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: both subjects hitting the lowest marks ever ever. Eighth grade

215
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: science scores have also declined sharply since twenty nineteen. Despite

216
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: the federal government spending more than three trillion dollars on

217
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: K through twelve education since the Department of Education was

218
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: created by Jimmy carterback in nineteen seventy nine, achievement gaps

219
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: or widening, and performance continues to fall. It's not just

220
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: about getting our reading and mass scorers up. We need

221
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: education that it stills pride and patriotism into our students. Again,

222
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: here's how the former director of Oklahoma's Department of Education

223
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: puts it quite straight.

224
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 6: Listen, we want good teachers in the classroom, right. We

225
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 6: want teachers that are passionate about math, history and science,

226
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 6: and folks, we're passionate about wanting people that love American history,

227
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 6: love America, that understand that. One of the critical roles

228
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 6: of our schools was, yes, get you good at academics, Yes,

229
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 6: make sure that you can get a job with your

230
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 6: God given talents, but also to create American citizens who

231
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 6: will continue this great dream that is America. Benjamin Franklin said,

232
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 6: it's a republic if you can keep it, and folks,

233
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 6: we have to fight to keep it. We have to

234
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 6: continue to allow the next generation to know, as Aaron

235
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 6: pointed out, the gift that you've been born into is

236
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 6: a tremendous blessing from God. But this country will not

237
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 6: continue to be that blessing if we let it fall

238
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 6: from our grasp.

239
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: Now, if we can fight for schools like that, then

240
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: I think it will help with my next point, which

241
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: is this number nine. I believe America is in a

242
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: mental health crisis. Mental health care is real, it matters,

243
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: and it desperately needs to be addressed. This will take

244
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: the work of a community, religion, health, a thriving economy,

245
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: and a government that actually cares about it citizens, not

246
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: just political posturing. You want to stop school shootings, address

247
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: and mental health crisis, don't take away my guns. I'm

248
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: not a danger to you. And number ten, I do

249
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: believe guns aren't the problem people really are.

250
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 2: Gun control only infringes and constitutional rights.

251
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: But I also believe in common sense background checks aren't

252
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: necessary to keep firearms out of the hands of the

253
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: mentally ill and other dangerous people. We've already tried the

254
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: experiment of gun control here at home. DC and Chicago

255
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: both tried to ban all guns in the last century,

256
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: and each time their murder rates went up, they went

257
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: through the roof.

258
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: We've tried this before. It doesn't work.

259
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: A responsibly armed society is a safe one, and usually

260
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: a fairly polite one. I'm a conservative because I believe

261
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: in faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility.

262
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: The last one really important.

263
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 1: For example, having a gun is not just my right,

264
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: it is a huge it's an awesome responsibility.

265
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: I take that seriously. I don't want a.

266
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: Government that controls every aspect of our lives. I want

267
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,439
Speaker 1: a government that protects our rights, secures our borders, defends

268
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: our freedoms, and then gets the hell out.

269
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: Of the way.

270
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: We're strongest when Americans take care of America first, when

271
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: families are supported.

272
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: When our veterans are honored, and.

273
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: When our children are taught truth not propaganda. I love

274
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: this country and I believe it's worth fighting for. So

275
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: let me just say this, God bless America. Coming up

276
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: after the break, President Trump signals possible talks with Venezuela's Maduro,

277
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,239
Speaker 1: even as US forces step up operations against drug traffickers

278
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: in the Caribbean.

279
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: I'll discuss that straight ahead on America's Voice Live
