<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure

0:00:14.937 --> 0:00:17.577
<v Speaker 1>you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app

0:00:17.857 --> 0:00:21.497
<v Speaker 1>or wherever you get your podcasts. Team. Welcome to the

0:00:21.537 --> 0:00:25.177
<v Speaker 1>Freedom Hunt Wednesday, July sixth edition of the program. We

0:00:25.297 --> 0:00:30.257
<v Speaker 1>have even the Democrats in a panic over Biden continuing

0:00:30.257 --> 0:00:34.017
<v Speaker 1>to be terrible at his job. Latest on this the

0:00:34.137 --> 0:00:39.457
<v Speaker 1>quote rudderless, aimless, hopeless that is from CNN about the

0:00:39.497 --> 0:00:42.777
<v Speaker 1>Biden White House. It actually sums it up pretty well. Plus,

0:00:42.817 --> 0:00:46.097
<v Speaker 1>we have more on the aftermath of that Highland Park

0:00:46.337 --> 0:00:49.457
<v Speaker 1>mass shooting. And it turns out the police knew about

0:00:49.497 --> 0:00:52.297
<v Speaker 1>this guy and he was clearly insane and a threat.

0:00:52.377 --> 0:00:56.137
<v Speaker 1>But even the red flag law didn't do anything. So

0:00:56.617 --> 0:01:00.737
<v Speaker 1>what are we to take from that situation, that circumstance.

0:01:01.697 --> 0:01:03.857
<v Speaker 1>We will break all of that down for you coming

0:01:03.937 --> 0:01:07.017
<v Speaker 1>up here in just a moment. My friends, so much

0:01:07.257 --> 0:01:10.297
<v Speaker 1>as always to get through and so little time. I

0:01:10.337 --> 0:01:13.017
<v Speaker 1>love real estate investing. If you've ever thought about real

0:01:13.097 --> 0:01:14.897
<v Speaker 1>estate investing, let me tell you've got to check out

0:01:14.937 --> 0:01:18.497
<v Speaker 1>my friends at Done for you real estate, especially if

0:01:18.537 --> 0:01:20.377
<v Speaker 1>you're brand new to this. I was brand new. They

0:01:20.417 --> 0:01:23.937
<v Speaker 1>took me through every step of the process, start to finish,

0:01:24.177 --> 0:01:27.257
<v Speaker 1>and now I own property. I'm getting checks every month

0:01:27.297 --> 0:01:30.697
<v Speaker 1>from those properties. They're increasing. In fact, they've already increased

0:01:30.777 --> 0:01:34.257
<v Speaker 1>my properties substantially in value in a short period of time.

0:01:34.697 --> 0:01:36.937
<v Speaker 1>So these guys know what they're doing, and you'll learn

0:01:37.057 --> 0:01:40.657
<v Speaker 1>so much about real estate investing. Remember, you're buying an asset,

0:01:40.737 --> 0:01:42.737
<v Speaker 1>something people want to live in, something you could live

0:01:42.737 --> 0:01:44.857
<v Speaker 1>in if you want to, and so it's actually a

0:01:44.937 --> 0:01:47.817
<v Speaker 1>real tangible thing you're putting your money into, not some

0:01:48.177 --> 0:01:52.417
<v Speaker 1>you know, make believe crypto, NFT whatever. You're buying houses,

0:01:53.057 --> 0:01:55.777
<v Speaker 1>houses that people want to live in in areas that

0:01:55.817 --> 0:01:59.857
<v Speaker 1>are growing in value. Right, that's the whole system. Go

0:01:59.977 --> 0:02:03.577

<v Speaker 1>my parents involved as well. That's how much I trust

0:02:07.177 --> 0:02:10.337

<v Speaker 1>to begin your real estate investment journey. Done for you,

0:02:18.657 --> 0:02:23.777
<v Speaker 1>Buck dot com. Biden administrations having a tough one. The

0:02:23.857 --> 0:02:27.697
<v Speaker 1>good news is they've got Kamala Harris out there and

0:02:28.257 --> 0:02:32.537
<v Speaker 1>she's trying to tell everybody don't worry about it. They're

0:02:32.577 --> 0:02:35.937
<v Speaker 1>gonna They're gonna bring down the prices of the stuff

0:02:35.977 --> 0:02:38.817
<v Speaker 1>that the people need for the things. So we're working

0:02:38.817 --> 0:02:42.937
<v Speaker 1>on bringing down basically the cost of what life requires

0:02:42.977 --> 0:02:46.737
<v Speaker 1>for people. We're working on bringing that down. Yeah, we're

0:02:46.737 --> 0:02:50.257
<v Speaker 1>working on it. Sure, sure they are. How exactly are

0:02:50.257 --> 0:02:56.177
<v Speaker 1>they doing that? Understand that their entire mentality, everything about

0:02:56.217 --> 0:03:01.817
<v Speaker 1>their approach to governance, everything about their approach to power,

0:03:02.617 --> 0:03:07.177
<v Speaker 1>makes it harder for businesses to produce, is a drag

0:03:07.257 --> 0:03:14.097
<v Speaker 1>on the economy, makes things more expensive and less accessible, energy, food, anything,

0:03:14.137 --> 0:03:17.977
<v Speaker 1>you name it. And by spending more government money on

0:03:18.057 --> 0:03:22.777
<v Speaker 1>things that are nonproductive, that are basically socialist in ideology,

0:03:23.297 --> 0:03:26.057
<v Speaker 1>they debase the very currency that we're all being paid

0:03:26.137 --> 0:03:29.697
<v Speaker 1>in and that we use to purchase things. And so

0:03:29.737 --> 0:03:33.217
<v Speaker 1>then people who have price leverage, pricing leverage, they're going

0:03:33.257 --> 0:03:35.057
<v Speaker 1>to raise their prices and you are going to have

0:03:35.177 --> 0:03:38.977
<v Speaker 1>less your money goes less. Far. If you look at

0:03:38.977 --> 0:03:43.777
<v Speaker 1>the most recent data on what it shows when it

0:03:43.817 --> 0:03:49.097
<v Speaker 1>comes to people being either more or less financially well off,

0:03:49.097 --> 0:03:51.657
<v Speaker 1>you don't it chose you huge increase in the last

0:03:51.657 --> 0:03:54.697
<v Speaker 1>two years and people feeling like they are more crunched

0:03:54.737 --> 0:03:59.657
<v Speaker 1>financially than ever before. For many of them, at least

0:03:59.777 --> 0:04:04.297
<v Speaker 1>as a sentiment, as a feeling that the American people have.

0:04:04.977 --> 0:04:07.497
<v Speaker 1>And you look at this and you say, who's in

0:04:07.617 --> 0:04:10.537
<v Speaker 1>charge here? I mean, who's supposed to make things better

0:04:10.617 --> 0:04:13.977
<v Speaker 1>the Biden White House? Ask yourself who in the Biden

0:04:14.057 --> 0:04:17.857
<v Speaker 1>White House? And I literally mean, what senior official, what

0:04:18.137 --> 0:04:22.657
<v Speaker 1>employee of the executive branch that you can name right now,

0:04:23.297 --> 0:04:26.817
<v Speaker 1>that anyone could name right now makes you feel better

0:04:26.857 --> 0:04:32.337
<v Speaker 1>about the trajectory of our economy. Here's the spokesperson, not

0:04:32.377 --> 0:04:34.457
<v Speaker 1>saying that she's supposed to be an economic genius, but

0:04:34.657 --> 0:04:38.537
<v Speaker 1>she's telling you what they're doing here. She is telling you, oh, yeah,

0:04:38.577 --> 0:04:42.257
<v Speaker 1>we're doing stuff. Consumer spending remains strong and above pre

0:04:42.377 --> 0:04:47.737
<v Speaker 1>pandemic trends, Business investment remains strong, and household of balancheets

0:04:47.817 --> 0:04:50.257
<v Speaker 1>remains strong. So we do not believe that we are

0:04:50.297 --> 0:04:55.537
<v Speaker 1>in a recession. They're lying to you. You're feeling something.

0:04:55.697 --> 0:04:59.417
<v Speaker 1>You're seeing it in your receipts from the grocery store,

0:04:59.737 --> 0:05:02.857
<v Speaker 1>from the gas station, the rent that you're going to

0:05:02.937 --> 0:05:05.097
<v Speaker 1>have to pay on your next renewal, right, or your

0:05:05.137 --> 0:05:08.897
<v Speaker 1>mortgage if you just bought a house, your annual percentage rate.

0:05:08.897 --> 0:05:11.377
<v Speaker 1>You're seeing all these things. Happening, and they're telling you, oh, no, no,

0:05:11.617 --> 0:05:15.617
<v Speaker 1>you're actually better off, don't you see. And you look

0:05:15.657 --> 0:05:19.017
<v Speaker 1>at them and you say, but I'm not. I'm not

0:05:19.177 --> 0:05:23.537
<v Speaker 1>better off. So what exactly are we're doing here? What

0:05:23.577 --> 0:05:28.857
<v Speaker 1>are you talking about here? Senator Tom Cotton, for example,

0:05:28.937 --> 0:05:32.617
<v Speaker 1>is saying, look, this White House needs to understand they

0:05:32.657 --> 0:05:35.017
<v Speaker 1>are the problem for a lot of this. It's not

0:05:35.137 --> 0:05:38.137
<v Speaker 1>all their fault, but nothing is ever entirely when it

0:05:38.137 --> 0:05:39.897
<v Speaker 1>comes to the economy, the falls of the government, but

0:05:40.017 --> 0:05:42.297
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it is. And here's Senator Cotton saying,

0:05:42.737 --> 0:05:44.537
<v Speaker 1>Biden needs to wake up, look in the mirror. The

0:05:44.617 --> 0:05:49.537
<v Speaker 1>problem here is Joe Biden's policies, and especially his energy policy,

0:05:49.617 --> 0:05:52.777
<v Speaker 1>because the price of gasoline electricity drives the cost of

0:05:52.857 --> 0:05:55.177
<v Speaker 1>everything else, whether you buy it at a grocery store

0:05:55.257 --> 0:05:58.017
<v Speaker 1>or Walmart anywhere else. It took energy to make it

0:05:58.017 --> 0:06:00.297
<v Speaker 1>took gas to drive it there. Joe Biden needs to

0:06:00.297 --> 0:06:01.657
<v Speaker 1>look in the mirror at the White House if he

0:06:01.697 --> 0:06:04.817
<v Speaker 1>wants to find the problem and perhaps the solution for inflation.

0:06:05.737 --> 0:06:08.777
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden wants to look at the problem and perhaps

0:06:08.897 --> 0:06:16.097
<v Speaker 1>the solution for inflation, my friends, he needs to do that.

0:06:16.137 --> 0:06:19.537
<v Speaker 1>He won't do that though, because remember the Democrats wanted

0:06:19.577 --> 0:06:24.417
<v Speaker 1>to spend even more money. The Democrats wanted to go

0:06:24.617 --> 0:06:29.657
<v Speaker 1>even deeper down this rabbit hole of madness. That is

0:06:29.777 --> 0:06:32.777
<v Speaker 1>modern monetary theory. Just spend what you want to spend

0:06:32.777 --> 0:06:34.857
<v Speaker 1>because you think it's important, and you'll figure out the

0:06:34.897 --> 0:06:38.577
<v Speaker 1>rest later. This is the government equivalent of a credit

0:06:38.617 --> 0:06:41.417
<v Speaker 1>card with no limit that you're just going to run

0:06:41.537 --> 0:06:43.977
<v Speaker 1>up anything you could ever want. Who cares, Oh, I

0:06:44.057 --> 0:06:46.977
<v Speaker 1>like that, that's pretty, that's shiny, that's new. I'm gonna

0:06:46.977 --> 0:06:49.337
<v Speaker 1>buy it, and you'll figure out how to pay it

0:06:49.337 --> 0:06:52.377
<v Speaker 1>off later. For an individual, if you had a friend

0:06:52.377 --> 0:06:53.737
<v Speaker 1>who told you they were about to do that, you'd

0:06:53.737 --> 0:06:55.737
<v Speaker 1>a family a member said oh, I've got I've got

0:06:55.737 --> 0:06:57.817
<v Speaker 1>an Amex black card. I'm gonna go spend two hundred grand.

0:06:57.817 --> 0:06:59.497
<v Speaker 1>You say, hold on, you make fifty grand a year,

0:06:59.497 --> 0:07:02.217
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna spend two hundred grand a month. And they said,

0:07:02.217 --> 0:07:04.497
<v Speaker 1>don't worry, I'll figure out how to pay this off later.

0:07:05.657 --> 0:07:09.737
<v Speaker 1>That is modern monetary theory. But when the government does it,

0:07:09.737 --> 0:07:12.137
<v Speaker 1>it's monetary theory. When your friend does it, it's just

0:07:12.177 --> 0:07:15.297
<v Speaker 1>a crazy person that's going to destroy their financial future.

0:07:15.937 --> 0:07:19.617
<v Speaker 1>So it is important friends that we see what really

0:07:19.657 --> 0:07:23.697
<v Speaker 1>happened here. They created this mess. And not only are

0:07:23.737 --> 0:07:28.657
<v Speaker 1>they honestly largely Biden and his team intellectually incapable of

0:07:28.737 --> 0:07:33.057
<v Speaker 1>fixing it, they are also politically incapable of turning it

0:07:33.137 --> 0:07:38.017
<v Speaker 1>around because they did these things for reasons of belief.

0:07:38.777 --> 0:07:42.337
<v Speaker 1>It's not about the results. It's about what's fair. Remember, Obama,

0:07:42.417 --> 0:07:44.977
<v Speaker 1>what's fair. It's the right thing to do, he would say,

0:07:45.017 --> 0:07:46.817
<v Speaker 1>and say, hold on a second, Socialism is the right

0:07:46.817 --> 0:07:50.457
<v Speaker 1>thing to do, says who exactly? The state takes more

0:07:50.497 --> 0:07:52.817
<v Speaker 1>for me because you say so under threat of force,

0:07:53.057 --> 0:07:56.817
<v Speaker 1>to give to other people that you deem more worthy

0:07:57.577 --> 0:08:01.377
<v Speaker 1>of my property. That's what's fair. That's the right thing

0:08:01.417 --> 0:08:06.417
<v Speaker 1>to do. Well, that's that's quite a standard, isn't it. Folks,

0:08:06.417 --> 0:08:08.097
<v Speaker 1>If you're like me, you believe it is your right

0:09:12.537 --> 0:09:18.577
<v Speaker 1>had an exchange with U Karine Jean Pierre about the

0:09:18.737 --> 0:09:21.817
<v Speaker 1>voice message that we've now all heard. It's in wide circulation.

0:09:22.217 --> 0:09:27.217
<v Speaker 1>The voice message where it's clear that Hunter Biden is

0:09:27.257 --> 0:09:29.617
<v Speaker 1>talking to Joe Biden, or rather Joe Biden's talking to

0:09:29.697 --> 0:09:35.177
<v Speaker 1>Hunter Biden about business dealings with China and all this stuff,

0:09:35.617 --> 0:09:37.857
<v Speaker 1>and he said he never had these kinds of conversations.

0:09:37.857 --> 0:09:41.097
<v Speaker 1>This was years ago. Oh but he did. But here's

0:09:41.137 --> 0:09:43.857
<v Speaker 1>how the White House responds. Play clip won. Why is

0:09:43.857 --> 0:09:47.537
<v Speaker 1>there a voicemail of the president talking to his son

0:09:47.537 --> 0:09:51.017
<v Speaker 1>about his overseas business dealings? If the President has said

0:09:51.497 --> 0:09:55.537
<v Speaker 1>he's never spoken to his son about his overseas business here, well, first,

0:09:55.537 --> 0:10:00.297
<v Speaker 1>I'll say that what the President said stands. So if

0:10:00.297 --> 0:10:02.097
<v Speaker 1>he if that's what the President said, that that is

0:10:02.137 --> 0:10:08.737
<v Speaker 1>what stands. And second secondly, but secondly, secondly, he says,

0:10:09.137 --> 0:10:12.337
<v Speaker 1>I think you're clear. How is that not him talking

0:10:12.337 --> 0:10:14.977
<v Speaker 1>to his son about his overseas business dealings. We're not

0:10:15.137 --> 0:10:17.417
<v Speaker 1>from this podium. I am not going to talk about

0:10:17.417 --> 0:10:20.457
<v Speaker 1>alleged materials from the laptop. I will. I am not

0:10:22.297 --> 0:10:25.137
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about alleged materials on the laptop. Or

0:10:25.217 --> 0:10:31.417
<v Speaker 1>it's not Peter, I refer you to his son's representative.

0:10:32.697 --> 0:10:36.937
<v Speaker 1>I refer you to his son's representative. This is a

0:10:36.977 --> 0:10:40.377
<v Speaker 1>White House. Remember, this is the White House spokesperson, and

0:10:40.417 --> 0:10:44.937
<v Speaker 1>their their whole response. Now to Joe Biden lied about this,

0:10:45.057 --> 0:10:48.177
<v Speaker 1>which clearly he did. He lied running for president of

0:10:48.217 --> 0:10:52.977
<v Speaker 1>the United States about the discussions with his son's business dealings.

0:10:53.017 --> 0:10:55.617
<v Speaker 1>He clearly lied. Okay, Joe Biden's a liar. He's not

0:10:55.697 --> 0:10:57.817
<v Speaker 1>a nice guy, and he's a liar. He is a

0:10:57.857 --> 0:11:01.857
<v Speaker 1>mediocrity who for his entire political career has just tried

0:11:01.857 --> 0:11:06.017
<v Speaker 1>to figure out what the safest political position is within

0:11:06.057 --> 0:11:08.857
<v Speaker 1>the Democrat party and he takes that what is the

0:11:08.857 --> 0:11:12.577
<v Speaker 1>safest position for him as Democrat? Takes that position full stop.

0:11:12.937 --> 0:11:14.577
<v Speaker 1>People say, oh, but how has he been in politics

0:11:14.617 --> 0:11:17.657
<v Speaker 1>a long? Because he's shameless. He stands for nothing. He

0:11:17.737 --> 0:11:20.817
<v Speaker 1>stands for Joe Biden. You know, Obama may have been

0:11:20.817 --> 0:11:22.977
<v Speaker 1>a socialist, but at least he had a vision. What

0:11:23.137 --> 0:11:25.817
<v Speaker 1>have destroyed the country if he was left to you know,

0:11:25.937 --> 0:11:29.057
<v Speaker 1>his own devices and multiple terms and office beyond what

0:11:29.137 --> 0:11:31.577
<v Speaker 1>he already had. But the guy did have a vision.

0:11:31.657 --> 0:11:33.817
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden just wants to be an office, doesn't care,

0:11:33.897 --> 0:11:36.577
<v Speaker 1>just wants to get that government paycheck and have people

0:11:36.577 --> 0:11:43.417
<v Speaker 1>act like he's important and powerful, right, stunning watching this, honestly,

0:11:44.377 --> 0:11:46.497
<v Speaker 1>Then they just try to run cover for him. They

0:11:46.577 --> 0:11:51.617
<v Speaker 1>just try to run this information suppression operation for Joe Biden.

0:11:51.777 --> 0:11:55.817
<v Speaker 1>You ask yourself, what exactly you know, what exactly is

0:11:55.857 --> 0:11:57.537
<v Speaker 1>this going to result in? Is it. This guy really

0:11:57.577 --> 0:12:01.697
<v Speaker 1>gonna run? Is he really going to be the Democrat

0:12:01.697 --> 0:12:05.337
<v Speaker 1>and nominee? Again? I'm not even sure. Deck. Remember I

0:12:05.377 --> 0:12:11.257
<v Speaker 1>started out by telling you, I mean, it's really damning. Rutderless, aimless,

0:12:11.297 --> 0:12:15.657
<v Speaker 1>hopeless is the quote on CNN about the Buiden administrate

0:12:15.737 --> 0:12:19.897
<v Speaker 1>on CNN Regime media, No less. So we have an

0:12:19.937 --> 0:12:24.377
<v Speaker 1>update here on the Highland Park shooting. And here is

0:12:24.457 --> 0:12:29.457
<v Speaker 1>Lake County Sheriff Department Deputy Christopher A Chief Christopher Covelli

0:12:29.697 --> 0:12:33.537
<v Speaker 1>talking to reporters and here's what we found out. Play.

0:12:34.017 --> 0:12:36.737
<v Speaker 1>This was a delayed report, so Highland Park still responded

0:12:36.777 --> 0:12:40.457
<v Speaker 1>to the residence a week later, spoke with Cremo, spoke

0:12:40.457 --> 0:12:43.937
<v Speaker 1>with Premo's parents, and the matter was being handled by

0:12:44.497 --> 0:12:47.337
<v Speaker 1>mental health professionals. At that time, there was no law

0:12:47.457 --> 0:12:51.417
<v Speaker 1>enforcement action to be taken. It was a mental health

0:12:51.457 --> 0:12:55.257
<v Speaker 1>issue handled by those professionals. The second occurred in September

0:12:55.257 --> 0:12:58.937
<v Speaker 1>of twenty nineteen. A family member reported that Cremo said

0:12:58.977 --> 0:13:01.737
<v Speaker 1>he was going to kill everyone, and Cremo had a

0:13:01.737 --> 0:13:05.657
<v Speaker 1>collection of knives. The police responded to his residence. The

0:13:05.737 --> 0:13:08.857
<v Speaker 1>police removed sixteen knives, a dagger, and a sword from

0:13:08.897 --> 0:13:12.617
<v Speaker 1>Cremo's home at that time. There was no probable cause

0:13:12.657 --> 0:13:15.857
<v Speaker 1>to arrest. There were no complaints that were signed by

0:13:15.857 --> 0:13:19.017
<v Speaker 1>any of the victims, so they knew this guy was

0:13:19.057 --> 0:13:22.097
<v Speaker 1>a complete lunatic. The police went to his home, took

0:13:22.097 --> 0:13:25.217
<v Speaker 1>weapons from him. There was a red flag law, and

0:13:25.337 --> 0:13:27.977
<v Speaker 1>let's all be very clear, Illinois has a red flag law.

0:13:28.537 --> 0:13:32.177
<v Speaker 1>It did nothing. So all that we have all this

0:13:32.257 --> 0:13:36.017
<v Speaker 1>talk about, oh we need red flag laws. This was

0:13:36.697 --> 0:13:42.617
<v Speaker 1>textbook what red flag laws you would hope would be

0:13:42.657 --> 0:13:47.177
<v Speaker 1>able to where they'd be able to be meaningful as

0:13:47.217 --> 0:13:51.737
<v Speaker 1>a form of prevention of these mass shootings. And I

0:13:51.857 --> 0:13:55.257
<v Speaker 1>just asked this question, if a red flag law in

0:13:55.337 --> 0:14:02.457
<v Speaker 1>Illinois didn't prevent this shooting, what shootings are red flag

0:14:02.537 --> 0:14:06.337
<v Speaker 1>laws going to prevent? Meaning if somebody who is this

0:14:06.897 --> 0:14:14.377
<v Speaker 1>clearly visibly on the record, crazy and violent crazy, if that,

0:14:14.457 --> 0:14:17.177
<v Speaker 1>if a red flag law doesn't stop him, why are

0:14:17.177 --> 0:14:19.417
<v Speaker 1>we all having these arguments about red flag laws. Oh,

0:14:19.457 --> 0:14:24.257
<v Speaker 1>because maybe of total psychopaths that are on the police radar,

0:14:24.697 --> 0:14:26.817
<v Speaker 1>maybe they'll stop. You know what one in ten, one

0:14:26.817 --> 0:14:29.017
<v Speaker 1>and one hundred of these psychopaths is that now, and

0:14:29.057 --> 0:14:32.697
<v Speaker 1>that's just limited to the community of violent psychopaths out there,

0:14:32.977 --> 0:14:36.177
<v Speaker 1>is that the promise of red flag laws. And then

0:14:36.177 --> 0:14:39.857
<v Speaker 1>you add into this all the false allegations. You know,

0:14:39.897 --> 0:14:43.057
<v Speaker 1>people who are having a relationship dispute and they want

0:14:43.057 --> 0:14:45.457
<v Speaker 1>to get their husband or their wives guns taken away

0:14:45.497 --> 0:14:47.257
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. You add all that and you say, well,

0:14:47.457 --> 0:14:50.817
<v Speaker 1>what are we getting for this? And then you look

0:14:50.817 --> 0:14:55.737
<v Speaker 1>at the constitutional questions about red flag laws and you say, okay,

0:14:56.017 --> 0:15:01.737
<v Speaker 1>so it's really a violation of due process because your

0:15:01.737 --> 0:15:03.417
<v Speaker 1>guns come away before you get to go to a

0:15:03.457 --> 0:15:05.617
<v Speaker 1>court and say whether you know and defend yourself whether

0:15:05.697 --> 0:15:08.217
<v Speaker 1>or not you're actually crazy and a threat. So we're

0:15:08.617 --> 0:15:12.137
<v Speaker 1>subverting due process, but we're subverting it under the promise

0:15:12.217 --> 0:15:15.297
<v Speaker 1>that this will be really really effective in saving lives.

0:15:16.217 --> 0:15:18.457
<v Speaker 1>Does anyone think that this looks like it's a red

0:15:18.497 --> 0:15:21.897
<v Speaker 1>flag law is a really effective way of stopping mass shootings?

0:15:22.057 --> 0:15:24.977
<v Speaker 1>Given what just happened and what we know about this individual,

0:15:26.417 --> 0:15:29.577
<v Speaker 1>we have to look at what is what is true,

0:15:30.617 --> 0:15:34.257
<v Speaker 1>what is real not what makes people feel like they

0:15:34.297 --> 0:15:37.817
<v Speaker 1>are doing something after any tragedy, any mass shooting, what

0:15:38.017 --> 0:15:40.017
<v Speaker 1>is going to work and what is the trade off?

0:15:41.097 --> 0:15:44.097
<v Speaker 1>That is the conversation that adults in the policy realm

0:15:44.217 --> 0:15:46.857
<v Speaker 1>need to have. One more thing. I want to welcome

0:15:47.097 --> 0:15:51.457
<v Speaker 1>Alex Barrenson back to Twitter. Look at that, my buddy

0:15:52.097 --> 0:15:55.057
<v Speaker 1>back on Twitter. Alex Barrenson, give him a follow after

0:15:55.097 --> 0:16:00.137
<v Speaker 1>his long suspension for being right about vaccines. Finally back.

0:16:00.617 --> 0:16:02.537
<v Speaker 1>Talk to you tomorrow. Shields High
