4
00:00:21,537 --> 00:00:25,177
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt Wednesday, July sixth edition of the program. We

5
00:00:25,297 --> 00:00:30,257
Speaker 1: have even the Democrats in a panic over Biden continuing

6
00:00:30,257 --> 00:00:34,017
Speaker 1: to be terrible at his job. Latest on this the

7
00:00:34,137 --> 00:00:39,457
Speaker 1: quote rudderless, aimless, hopeless that is from CNN about the

8
00:00:39,497 --> 00:00:42,777
Speaker 1: Biden White House. It actually sums it up pretty well. Plus,

9
00:00:42,817 --> 00:00:46,097
Speaker 1: we have more on the aftermath of that Highland Park

10
00:00:46,337 --> 00:00:49,457
Speaker 1: mass shooting. And it turns out the police knew about

11
00:00:49,497 --> 00:00:52,297
Speaker 1: this guy and he was clearly insane and a threat.

12
00:00:52,377 --> 00:00:56,137
Speaker 1: But even the red flag law didn't do anything. So

13
00:00:56,617 --> 00:01:00,737
Speaker 1: what are we to take from that situation, that circumstance.

14
00:01:01,697 --> 00:01:03,857
Speaker 1: We will break all of that down for you coming

15
00:01:03,937 --> 00:01:07,017
Speaker 1: up here in just a moment. My friends, so much

16
00:01:07,257 --> 00:01:10,297
Speaker 1: as always to get through and so little time. I

17
00:01:10,337 --> 00:01:13,017
Speaker 1: love real estate investing. If you've ever thought about real

18
00:01:13,097 --> 00:01:14,897
Speaker 1: estate investing, let me tell you've got to check out

19
00:01:14,937 --> 00:01:18,497
Speaker 1: my friends at Done for you real estate, especially if

20
00:01:18,537 --> 00:01:20,377
Speaker 1: you're brand new to this. I was brand new. They

21
00:01:20,417 --> 00:01:23,937
Speaker 1: took me through every step of the process, start to finish,

22
00:01:24,177 --> 00:01:27,257
Speaker 1: and now I own property. I'm getting checks every month

23
00:01:27,297 --> 00:01:30,697
Speaker 1: from those properties. They're increasing. In fact, they've already increased

24
00:01:30,777 --> 00:01:34,257
Speaker 1: my properties substantially in value in a short period of time.

25
00:01:34,697 --> 00:01:36,937
Speaker 1: So these guys know what they're doing, and you'll learn

26
00:01:37,057 --> 00:01:40,657
Speaker 1: so much about real estate investing. Remember, you're buying an asset,

27
00:01:40,737 --> 00:01:42,737
Speaker 1: something people want to live in, something you could live

28
00:01:42,737 --> 00:01:44,857
Speaker 1: in if you want to, and so it's actually a

29
00:01:44,937 --> 00:01:47,817
Speaker 1: real tangible thing you're putting your money into, not some

30
00:01:48,177 --> 00:01:52,417
Speaker 1: you know, make believe crypto, NFT whatever. You're buying houses,

31
00:01:53,057 --> 00:01:55,777
Speaker 1: houses that people want to live in in areas that

32
00:01:55,817 --> 00:01:59,857
Speaker 1: are growing in value. Right, that's the whole system. Go

33
00:01:59,977 --> 00:02:03,577
Speaker 1: to donefubuck dot com to learn more. I'm doing it,

34
00:02:03,657 --> 00:02:05,017
Speaker 1: my brothers are doing it. I think I'm gonna get

35
00:02:05,017 --> 00:02:07,177
Speaker 1: my parents involved as well. That's how much I trust

36
00:02:07,177 --> 00:02:10,337
Speaker 1: these guys. That's how much I like and have been

37
00:02:10,377 --> 00:02:13,857

Speaker 1: to begin your real estate investment journey. Done for you,

39
00:02:18,657 --> 00:02:23,777
Speaker 1: Buck dot com. Biden administrations having a tough one. The

40
00:02:23,857 --> 00:02:27,697
Speaker 1: good news is they've got Kamala Harris out there and

41
00:02:28,257 --> 00:02:32,537
Speaker 1: she's trying to tell everybody don't worry about it. They're

42
00:02:32,577 --> 00:02:35,937
Speaker 1: gonna They're gonna bring down the prices of the stuff

43
00:02:35,977 --> 00:02:38,817
Speaker 1: that the people need for the things. So we're working

44
00:02:38,817 --> 00:02:42,937
Speaker 1: on bringing down basically the cost of what life requires

45
00:02:42,977 --> 00:02:46,737
Speaker 1: for people. We're working on bringing that down. Yeah, we're

46
00:02:46,737 --> 00:02:50,257
Speaker 1: working on it. Sure, sure they are. How exactly are

47
00:02:50,257 --> 00:02:56,177
Speaker 1: they doing that? Understand that their entire mentality, everything about

48
00:02:56,217 --> 00:03:01,817
Speaker 1: their approach to governance, everything about their approach to power,

49
00:03:02,617 --> 00:03:07,177
Speaker 1: makes it harder for businesses to produce, is a drag

50
00:03:07,257 --> 00:03:14,097
Speaker 1: on the economy, makes things more expensive and less accessible, energy, food, anything,

51
00:03:14,137 --> 00:03:17,977
Speaker 1: you name it. And by spending more government money on

52
00:03:18,057 --> 00:03:22,777
Speaker 1: things that are nonproductive, that are basically socialist in ideology,

53
00:03:23,297 --> 00:03:26,057
Speaker 1: they debase the very currency that we're all being paid

54
00:03:26,137 --> 00:03:29,697
Speaker 1: in and that we use to purchase things. And so

55
00:03:29,737 --> 00:03:33,217
Speaker 1: then people who have price leverage, pricing leverage, they're going

56
00:03:33,257 --> 00:03:35,057
Speaker 1: to raise their prices and you are going to have

57
00:03:35,177 --> 00:03:38,977
Speaker 1: less your money goes less. Far. If you look at

58
00:03:38,977 --> 00:03:43,777
Speaker 1: the most recent data on what it shows when it

59
00:03:43,817 --> 00:03:49,097
Speaker 1: comes to people being either more or less financially well off,

60
00:03:49,097 --> 00:03:51,657
Speaker 1: you don't it chose you huge increase in the last

61
00:03:51,657 --> 00:03:54,697
Speaker 1: two years and people feeling like they are more crunched

62
00:03:54,737 --> 00:03:59,657
Speaker 1: financially than ever before. For many of them, at least

63
00:03:59,777 --> 00:04:04,297
Speaker 1: as a sentiment, as a feeling that the American people have.

64
00:04:04,977 --> 00:04:07,497
Speaker 1: And you look at this and you say, who's in

65
00:04:07,617 --> 00:04:10,537
Speaker 1: charge here? I mean, who's supposed to make things better

66
00:04:10,617 --> 00:04:13,977
Speaker 1: the Biden White House? Ask yourself who in the Biden

67
00:04:14,057 --> 00:04:17,857
Speaker 1: White House? And I literally mean, what senior official, what

68
00:04:18,137 --> 00:04:22,657
Speaker 1: employee of the executive branch that you can name right now,

69
00:04:23,297 --> 00:04:26,817
Speaker 1: that anyone could name right now makes you feel better

70
00:04:26,857 --> 00:04:32,337
Speaker 1: about the trajectory of our economy. Here's the spokesperson, not

71
00:04:32,377 --> 00:04:34,457
Speaker 1: saying that she's supposed to be an economic genius, but

72
00:04:34,657 --> 00:04:38,537
Speaker 1: she's telling you what they're doing here. She is telling you, oh, yeah,

73
00:04:38,577 --> 00:04:42,257
Speaker 1: we're doing stuff. Consumer spending remains strong and above pre

74
00:04:42,377 --> 00:04:47,737
Speaker 1: pandemic trends, Business investment remains strong, and household of balancheets

75
00:04:47,817 --> 00:04:50,257
Speaker 1: remains strong. So we do not believe that we are

76
00:04:50,297 --> 00:04:55,537
Speaker 1: in a recession. They're lying to you. You're feeling something.

77
00:04:55,697 --> 00:04:59,417
Speaker 1: You're seeing it in your receipts from the grocery store,

78
00:04:59,737 --> 00:05:02,857
Speaker 1: from the gas station, the rent that you're going to

79
00:05:02,937 --> 00:05:05,097
Speaker 1: have to pay on your next renewal, right, or your

80
00:05:05,137 --> 00:05:08,897
Speaker 1: mortgage if you just bought a house, your annual percentage rate.

81
00:05:08,897 --> 00:05:11,377
Speaker 1: You're seeing all these things. Happening, and they're telling you, oh, no, no,

82
00:05:11,617 --> 00:05:15,617
Speaker 1: you're actually better off, don't you see. And you look

83
00:05:15,657 --> 00:05:19,017
Speaker 1: at them and you say, but I'm not. I'm not

84
00:05:19,177 --> 00:05:23,537
Speaker 1: better off. So what exactly are we're doing here? What

85
00:05:23,577 --> 00:05:28,857
Speaker 1: are you talking about here? Senator Tom Cotton, for example,

86
00:05:28,937 --> 00:05:32,617
Speaker 1: is saying, look, this White House needs to understand they

87
00:05:32,657 --> 00:05:35,017
Speaker 1: are the problem for a lot of this. It's not

88
00:05:35,137 --> 00:05:38,137
Speaker 1: all their fault, but nothing is ever entirely when it

89
00:05:38,137 --> 00:05:39,897
Speaker 1: comes to the economy, the falls of the government, but

90
00:05:40,017 --> 00:05:42,297
Speaker 1: a lot of it is. And here's Senator Cotton saying,

91
00:05:42,737 --> 00:05:44,537
Speaker 1: Biden needs to wake up, look in the mirror. The

92
00:05:44,617 --> 00:05:49,537
Speaker 1: problem here is Joe Biden's policies, and especially his energy policy,

93
00:05:49,617 --> 00:05:52,777
Speaker 1: because the price of gasoline electricity drives the cost of

94
00:05:52,857 --> 00:05:55,177
Speaker 1: everything else, whether you buy it at a grocery store

95
00:05:55,257 --> 00:05:58,017
Speaker 1: or Walmart anywhere else. It took energy to make it

96
00:05:58,017 --> 00:06:00,297
Speaker 1: took gas to drive it there. Joe Biden needs to

97
00:06:00,297 --> 00:06:01,657
Speaker 1: look in the mirror at the White House if he

98
00:06:01,697 --> 00:06:04,817
Speaker 1: wants to find the problem and perhaps the solution for inflation.

99
00:06:05,737 --> 00:06:08,777
Speaker 1: Joe Biden wants to look at the problem and perhaps

100
00:06:08,897 --> 00:06:16,097
Speaker 1: the solution for inflation, my friends, he needs to do that.

101
00:06:16,137 --> 00:06:19,537
Speaker 1: He won't do that though, because remember the Democrats wanted

102
00:06:19,577 --> 00:06:24,417
Speaker 1: to spend even more money. The Democrats wanted to go

103
00:06:24,617 --> 00:06:29,657
Speaker 1: even deeper down this rabbit hole of madness. That is

104
00:06:29,777 --> 00:06:32,777
Speaker 1: modern monetary theory. Just spend what you want to spend

105
00:06:32,777 --> 00:06:34,857
Speaker 1: because you think it's important, and you'll figure out the

106
00:06:34,897 --> 00:06:38,577
Speaker 1: rest later. This is the government equivalent of a credit

107
00:06:38,617 --> 00:06:41,417
Speaker 1: card with no limit that you're just going to run

108
00:06:41,537 --> 00:06:43,977
Speaker 1: up anything you could ever want. Who cares, Oh, I

109
00:06:44,057 --> 00:06:46,977
Speaker 1: like that, that's pretty, that's shiny, that's new. I'm gonna

110
00:06:46,977 --> 00:06:49,337
Speaker 1: buy it, and you'll figure out how to pay it

111
00:06:49,337 --> 00:06:52,377
Speaker 1: off later. For an individual, if you had a friend

112
00:06:52,377 --> 00:06:53,737
Speaker 1: who told you they were about to do that, you'd

113
00:06:53,737 --> 00:06:55,737
Speaker 1: a family a member said oh, I've got I've got

114
00:06:55,737 --> 00:06:57,817
Speaker 1: an Amex black card. I'm gonna go spend two hundred grand.

115
00:06:57,817 --> 00:06:59,497
Speaker 1: You say, hold on, you make fifty grand a year,

116
00:06:59,497 --> 00:07:02,217
Speaker 1: you're gonna spend two hundred grand a month. And they said,

117
00:07:02,217 --> 00:07:04,497
Speaker 1: don't worry, I'll figure out how to pay this off later.

118
00:07:05,657 --> 00:07:09,737
Speaker 1: That is modern monetary theory. But when the government does it,

119
00:07:09,737 --> 00:07:12,137
Speaker 1: it's monetary theory. When your friend does it, it's just

120
00:07:12,177 --> 00:07:15,297
Speaker 1: a crazy person that's going to destroy their financial future.

121
00:07:15,937 --> 00:07:19,617
Speaker 1: So it is important friends that we see what really

122
00:07:19,657 --> 00:07:23,697
Speaker 1: happened here. They created this mess. And not only are

123
00:07:23,737 --> 00:07:28,657
Speaker 1: they honestly largely Biden and his team intellectually incapable of

124
00:07:28,737 --> 00:07:33,057
Speaker 1: fixing it, they are also politically incapable of turning it

125
00:07:33,137 --> 00:07:38,017
Speaker 1: around because they did these things for reasons of belief.

126
00:07:38,777 --> 00:07:42,337
Speaker 1: It's not about the results. It's about what's fair. Remember, Obama,

127
00:07:42,417 --> 00:07:44,977
Speaker 1: what's fair. It's the right thing to do, he would say,

128
00:07:45,017 --> 00:07:46,817
Speaker 1: and say, hold on a second, Socialism is the right

129
00:07:46,817 --> 00:07:50,457
Speaker 1: thing to do, says who exactly? The state takes more

130
00:07:50,497 --> 00:07:52,817
Speaker 1: for me because you say so under threat of force,

131
00:07:53,057 --> 00:07:56,817
Speaker 1: to give to other people that you deem more worthy

132
00:07:57,577 --> 00:08:01,377
Speaker 1: of my property. That's what's fair. That's the right thing

133
00:08:01,417 --> 00:08:06,417
Speaker 1: to do. Well, that's that's quite a standard, isn't it. Folks,

134
00:08:06,417 --> 00:08:08,097

00:09:12,537 --> 00:09:18,577
Speaker 1: had an exchange with U Karine Jean Pierre about the

155
00:09:18,737 --> 00:09:21,817
Speaker 1: voice message that we've now all heard. It's in wide circulation.

156
00:09:22,217 --> 00:09:27,217
Speaker 1: The voice message where it's clear that Hunter Biden is

157
00:09:27,257 --> 00:09:29,617
Speaker 1: talking to Joe Biden, or rather Joe Biden's talking to

158
00:09:29,697 --> 00:09:35,177
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden about business dealings with China and all this stuff,

159
00:09:35,617 --> 00:09:37,857
Speaker 1: and he said he never had these kinds of conversations.

160
00:09:37,857 --> 00:09:41,097
Speaker 1: This was years ago. Oh but he did. But here's

161
00:09:41,137 --> 00:09:43,857
Speaker 1: how the White House responds. Play clip won. Why is

162
00:09:43,857 --> 00:09:47,537
Speaker 1: there a voicemail of the president talking to his son

163
00:09:47,537 --> 00:09:51,017
Speaker 1: about his overseas business dealings? If the President has said

164
00:09:51,497 --> 00:09:55,537
Speaker 1: he's never spoken to his son about his overseas business here, well, first,

165
00:09:55,537 --> 00:10:00,297
Speaker 1: I'll say that what the President said stands. So if

166
00:10:00,297 --> 00:10:02,097
Speaker 1: he if that's what the President said, that that is

167
00:10:02,137 --> 00:10:08,737
Speaker 1: what stands. And second secondly, but secondly, secondly, he says,

168
00:10:09,137 --> 00:10:12,337
Speaker 1: I think you're clear. How is that not him talking

169
00:10:12,337 --> 00:10:14,977
Speaker 1: to his son about his overseas business dealings. We're not

170
00:10:15,137 --> 00:10:17,417
Speaker 1: from this podium. I am not going to talk about

171
00:10:17,417 --> 00:10:20,457
Speaker 1: alleged materials from the laptop. I will. I am not

172
00:10:22,297 --> 00:10:25,137
Speaker 1: going to talk about alleged materials on the laptop. Or

173
00:10:25,217 --> 00:10:31,417
Speaker 1: it's not Peter, I refer you to his son's representative.

174
00:10:32,697 --> 00:10:36,937
Speaker 1: I refer you to his son's representative. This is a

175
00:10:36,977 --> 00:10:40,377
Speaker 1: White House. Remember, this is the White House spokesperson, and

176
00:10:40,417 --> 00:10:44,937
Speaker 1: their their whole response. Now to Joe Biden lied about this,

177
00:10:45,057 --> 00:10:48,177
Speaker 1: which clearly he did. He lied running for president of

178
00:10:48,217 --> 00:10:52,977
Speaker 1: the United States about the discussions with his son's business dealings.

179
00:10:53,017 --> 00:10:55,617
Speaker 1: He clearly lied. Okay, Joe Biden's a liar. He's not

180
00:10:55,697 --> 00:10:57,817
Speaker 1: a nice guy, and he's a liar. He is a

181
00:10:57,857 --> 00:11:01,857
Speaker 1: mediocrity who for his entire political career has just tried

182
00:11:01,857 --> 00:11:06,017
Speaker 1: to figure out what the safest political position is within

183
00:11:06,057 --> 00:11:08,857
Speaker 1: the Democrat party and he takes that what is the

184
00:11:08,857 --> 00:11:12,577
Speaker 1: safest position for him as Democrat? Takes that position full stop.

185
00:11:12,937 --> 00:11:14,577
Speaker 1: People say, oh, but how has he been in politics

186
00:11:14,617 --> 00:11:17,657
Speaker 1: a long? Because he's shameless. He stands for nothing. He

187
00:11:17,737 --> 00:11:20,817
Speaker 1: stands for Joe Biden. You know, Obama may have been

188
00:11:20,817 --> 00:11:22,977
Speaker 1: a socialist, but at least he had a vision. What

189
00:11:23,137 --> 00:11:25,817
Speaker 1: have destroyed the country if he was left to you know,

190
00:11:25,937 --> 00:11:29,057
Speaker 1: his own devices and multiple terms and office beyond what

191
00:11:29,137 --> 00:11:31,577
Speaker 1: he already had. But the guy did have a vision.

192
00:11:31,657 --> 00:11:33,817
Speaker 1: Joe Biden just wants to be an office, doesn't care,

193
00:11:33,897 --> 00:11:36,577
Speaker 1: just wants to get that government paycheck and have people

194
00:11:36,577 --> 00:11:43,417
Speaker 1: act like he's important and powerful, right, stunning watching this, honestly,

195
00:11:44,377 --> 00:11:46,497
Speaker 1: Then they just try to run cover for him. They

196
00:11:46,577 --> 00:11:51,617
Speaker 1: just try to run this information suppression operation for Joe Biden.

197
00:11:51,777 --> 00:11:55,817
Speaker 1: You ask yourself, what exactly you know, what exactly is

198
00:11:55,857 --> 00:11:57,537
Speaker 1: this going to result in? Is it. This guy really

199
00:11:57,577 --> 00:12:01,697
Speaker 1: gonna run? Is he really going to be the Democrat

200
00:12:01,697 --> 00:12:05,337
Speaker 1: and nominee? Again? I'm not even sure. Deck. Remember I

201
00:12:05,377 --> 00:12:11,257
Speaker 1: started out by telling you, I mean, it's really damning. Rutderless, aimless,

202
00:12:11,297 --> 00:12:15,657
Speaker 1: hopeless is the quote on CNN about the Buiden administrate

203
00:12:15,737 --> 00:12:19,897
Speaker 1: on CNN Regime media, No less. So we have an

204
00:12:19,937 --> 00:12:24,377
Speaker 1: update here on the Highland Park shooting. And here is

205
00:12:24,457 --> 00:12:29,457
Speaker 1: Lake County Sheriff Department Deputy Christopher A Chief Christopher Covelli

206
00:12:29,697 --> 00:12:33,537
Speaker 1: talking to reporters and here's what we found out. Play.

207
00:12:34,017 --> 00:12:36,737
Speaker 1: This was a delayed report, so Highland Park still responded

208
00:12:36,777 --> 00:12:40,457
Speaker 1: to the residence a week later, spoke with Cremo, spoke

209
00:12:40,457 --> 00:12:43,937
Speaker 1: with Premo's parents, and the matter was being handled by

210
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:47,337
Speaker 1: mental health professionals. At that time, there was no law

211
00:12:47,457 --> 00:12:51,417
Speaker 1: enforcement action to be taken. It was a mental health

212
00:12:51,457 --> 00:12:55,257
Speaker 1: issue handled by those professionals. The second occurred in September

213
00:12:55,257 --> 00:12:58,937
Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen. A family member reported that Cremo said

214
00:12:58,977 --> 00:13:01,737
Speaker 1: he was going to kill everyone, and Cremo had a

215
00:13:01,737 --> 00:13:05,657
Speaker 1: collection of knives. The police responded to his residence. The

216
00:13:05,737 --> 00:13:08,857
Speaker 1: police removed sixteen knives, a dagger, and a sword from

217
00:13:08,897 --> 00:13:12,617
Speaker 1: Cremo's home at that time. There was no probable cause

218
00:13:12,657 --> 00:13:15,857
Speaker 1: to arrest. There were no complaints that were signed by

219
00:13:15,857 --> 00:13:19,017
Speaker 1: any of the victims, so they knew this guy was

220
00:13:19,057 --> 00:13:22,097
Speaker 1: a complete lunatic. The police went to his home, took

221
00:13:22,097 --> 00:13:25,217
Speaker 1: weapons from him. There was a red flag law, and

222
00:13:25,337 --> 00:13:27,977
Speaker 1: let's all be very clear, Illinois has a red flag law.

223
00:13:28,537 --> 00:13:32,177
Speaker 1: It did nothing. So all that we have all this

224
00:13:32,257 --> 00:13:36,017
Speaker 1: talk about, oh we need red flag laws. This was

225
00:13:36,697 --> 00:13:42,617
Speaker 1: textbook what red flag laws you would hope would be

226
00:13:42,657 --> 00:13:47,177
Speaker 1: able to where they'd be able to be meaningful as

227
00:13:47,217 --> 00:13:51,737
Speaker 1: a form of prevention of these mass shootings. And I

228
00:13:51,857 --> 00:13:55,257
Speaker 1: just asked this question, if a red flag law in

229
00:13:55,337 --> 00:14:02,457
Speaker 1: Illinois didn't prevent this shooting, what shootings are red flag

230
00:14:02,537 --> 00:14:06,337
Speaker 1: laws going to prevent? Meaning if somebody who is this

231
00:14:06,897 --> 00:14:14,377
Speaker 1: clearly visibly on the record, crazy and violent crazy, if that,

232
00:14:14,457 --> 00:14:17,177
Speaker 1: if a red flag law doesn't stop him, why are

233
00:14:17,177 --> 00:14:19,417
Speaker 1: we all having these arguments about red flag laws. Oh,

234
00:14:19,457 --> 00:14:24,257
Speaker 1: because maybe of total psychopaths that are on the police radar,

235
00:14:24,697 --> 00:14:26,817
Speaker 1: maybe they'll stop. You know what one in ten, one

236
00:14:26,817 --> 00:14:29,017
Speaker 1: and one hundred of these psychopaths is that now, and

237
00:14:29,057 --> 00:14:32,697
Speaker 1: that's just limited to the community of violent psychopaths out there,

238
00:14:32,977 --> 00:14:36,177
Speaker 1: is that the promise of red flag laws. And then

239
00:14:36,177 --> 00:14:39,857
Speaker 1: you add into this all the false allegations. You know,

240
00:14:39,897 --> 00:14:43,057
Speaker 1: people who are having a relationship dispute and they want

241
00:14:43,057 --> 00:14:45,457
Speaker 1: to get their husband or their wives guns taken away

242
00:14:45,497 --> 00:14:47,257
Speaker 1: or whatever. You add all that and you say, well,

243
00:14:47,457 --> 00:14:50,817
Speaker 1: what are we getting for this? And then you look

244
00:14:50,817 --> 00:14:55,737
Speaker 1: at the constitutional questions about red flag laws and you say, okay,

245
00:14:56,017 --> 00:15:01,737
Speaker 1: so it's really a violation of due process because your

246
00:15:01,737 --> 00:15:03,417
Speaker 1: guns come away before you get to go to a

247
00:15:03,457 --> 00:15:05,617
Speaker 1: court and say whether you know and defend yourself whether

248
00:15:05,697 --> 00:15:08,217
Speaker 1: or not you're actually crazy and a threat. So we're

249
00:15:08,617 --> 00:15:12,137
Speaker 1: subverting due process, but we're subverting it under the promise

250
00:15:12,217 --> 00:15:15,297
Speaker 1: that this will be really really effective in saving lives.

251
00:15:16,217 --> 00:15:18,457
Speaker 1: Does anyone think that this looks like it's a red

252
00:15:18,497 --> 00:15:21,897
Speaker 1: flag law is a really effective way of stopping mass shootings?

253
00:15:22,057 --> 00:15:24,977
Speaker 1: Given what just happened and what we know about this individual,

254
00:15:26,417 --> 00:15:29,577
Speaker 1: we have to look at what is what is true,

255
00:15:30,617 --> 00:15:34,257
Speaker 1: what is real not what makes people feel like they

256
00:15:34,297 --> 00:15:37,817
Speaker 1: are doing something after any tragedy, any mass shooting, what

257
00:15:38,017 --> 00:15:40,017
Speaker 1: is going to work and what is the trade off?

258
00:15:41,097 --> 00:15:44,097
Speaker 1: That is the conversation that adults in the policy realm

259
00:15:44,217 --> 00:15:46,857
Speaker 1: need to have. One more thing. I want to welcome

260
00:15:47,097 --> 00:15:51,457
Speaker 1: Alex Barrenson back to Twitter. Look at that, my buddy
