1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. We've gone through this many

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: times before now, and it feels unfortunately far too familiar,

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: both the atrocity a mass shooting that occurs, and then

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: afterwards the immediate politicization of it. We're not allowed to

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: have a conversation. We're not allowed to have a discussion

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: meant in good faith to look at what happened here.

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: We certainly can't wait for all the facts to come in.

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: We have to take action right away. That's what they

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: tell us, before you know what you're even doing. You've

12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: got to do something before you're aware of what's going on.

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: And they're also using maximum pressure. That's a part of

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: this too. They're trying to use a pressure campaign to

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: get people to comply and to just bend the knee

16
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: and say, sure, we'll do whatever gun control, gun violence

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: control measures, whatever they're calling it. You want, well, we'll

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: get into more of this. And just the way that

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: they're trying to leverage this now, they're going after companies,

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: They're going businesses that are favorable to the second Amendment.

21
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: This is the culture that we live in now. There's

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: a lot of cancelation that goes on and there's a

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: lot of cancelation that goes online too. The Internet never forgets.

24
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: As you know, There's never been a more important time

25
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: to protect your Internet activity than now. That's why I

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: urge you to use Express VPN. Everything you search for, watch,

27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: or click online can be tracked by big tech companies.

28
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: They can match your activity to your true identity using

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: your device's unique IP address. When I switch on Express VPN,

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: my computer or phone my IP address. All of it

31
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: is masked by a secure VPN server, which makes it

32
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: harder for websites to identify me. The Express VPN app

33
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: also encrypts mind network data to protect my sensitive information

34
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: from being compromised. Plus, you can use Express VPN and

35
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: up to five devices simultaneously, so multiple users on your

36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: network can stay safe with a single subscription. Stop handing

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: over your data to big tech companies. Go at vpn

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,280

44
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: steps I'll save the lives in the future, and to

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: urge my colleagues in the House and Senate to act

46
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: we can ban assaul weapons and high capacity magazines in

47
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: this country once again. I got that done when I

48
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: was a Senator. It passed, it was a law for

49
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 1: the longest time, and it brought down these mass killings.

50
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: We should do it again. We did it before. That's true,

51
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: and all of the data, including study study by the

52
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: Department of Justice that was released in two thousand and four,

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: showed that there was no correlations. However, they could prove

54
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: between less shootings, less gun violence, and the assault weapons ban.

55
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: More people are killed every year with knives, more people

56
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: are killed every year with blunt objects in this country

57
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: than with assault rifles. But as we know, this is

58
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 1: the same back and forth that we have every time

59
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: there is a mass shooting, and the focus immediately shifted

60
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: to gun control almost one hundred percent as soon as

61
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: we found out who this individual was and what the

62
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: likely motivations were and were not. I understand that they're

63
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: trying to claim that there is some connection to white

64
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: supremacy still when a Syrian Muslim American shoots up a

65
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: whole bunch of people in a grocery store and we

66
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: have no reason to believe there's any tide of white supremacy,

67
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: but they're still making that case somehow, because that's how

68
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: their brains have just become rotted, unfortunately with this group think.

69
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: But then they move to gun control. When that doesn't

70
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: work and it's increasingly going to look like it's absurd,

71
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: they move on to the gun control issue and they

72
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: tell us, all, well, there's no reason you shouldn't do

73
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: the following things. And there are a lot of reasons

74
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: that we should not allow for the forced buy back

75
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: or confiscation of R fifteens. There are a lot of

76
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: reasons why we should not allow people to decide for

77
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: you what you are able to defend your home with,

78
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: what you're allowed to defend your home with. And there's

79
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: a viciousness now too. I'm somebody who feels very strongly

80
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: that we have to start to confront the possibility here

81
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: that there is a mass psychological pandemic going on alongside

82
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: the viral pandemic that we have right now. I mean,

83
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: the amount of psychological damage to this country that it

84
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: has done to itself as a result of lockdowns and

85
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: COVID panic propaganda is incalculable. But if you spend a

86
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: few minutes on this app, you get a pretty good

87
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: sense of how angry and crazy the mass hysteria crowd

88
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: has become. It's a big problem. That's what I wrote

89
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: last night on Twitter. I think it's very true. You

90
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: see this not just on social media platforms. You see

91
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: this in general discussions of what's going on right now

92
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: in the media, that there's a nastiness, there's a viciousness.

93
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: They want to go after people who disagree with them.

94
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: They want they want to find ways to look at

95
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: our look at their fellow Americans and say you're immoral,

96
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: you don't care. You see my position when we talk

97
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: about gun control, when we discuss these issues, My position

98
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: is that their ideas don't work and infringe on liberties.

99
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: Their position tends to be reduced to you're a bad

100
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: person if you don't agree with me, and you should

101
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: do exactly what I say, or else you're a monster.

102
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: And if you want examples of it, I could sit

103
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: here and We could spend the whole day talking about this.

104
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: We could just go through all the different people who

105
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: are claiming that if you don't agree with their gun

106
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: control measures, you're a bad person. Here's Sonny Houston, for example,

107
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: who's a TV host, and here's what she says about

108
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: owning an assault rifle. Play eleven. I don't think we

109
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: can any longer equate freedom with the unfettered right to

110
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: own assault rifles. That is not freedom, because I feel

111
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: like a hostage right now. I feel like a hostage

112
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: to the selfish people that insist on owning these types

113
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: of weapons. That is not freedom in this country. You

114
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: are not a patriot because you think you have the

115
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: right to own these types of weapons. You are not

116
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: a patriot. You should be taking care of your fellow Americans.

117
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: See how bizarre this is. You're not a patriot if

118
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: you own an assault rifle. There are millions of people

119
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: who own assault rifles and are completely law abiding and

120
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: quite patriotic, and yet because one person makes the monstrous

121
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: and evil decision to go and shoot a bunch of

122
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: innocent people in a grocery store, now you're a bad

123
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: person if you won't give up your rifle. You know,

124
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: a lot of damage can be done with knives. I

125
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: have a number of knives, including some more combat style knives.

126
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: They don't threaten anyone. That's not a problem for anyone,

127
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: because I'm a moral, law abiding person. So no, I'm

128
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: not going to give up my knives because someone in

129
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: New York recently was stabbed to death outside of a

130
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: housing project. That has nothing to do with me. I mean,

131
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: the logic here is actually quite simple. Law abiding, good

132
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: people in possession of weapons are a threat to no one.

133
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: Evil people getting these guns and using them is something

134
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: that does occur, and there are plenty of laws that

135
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: are already in place to try to make it harder.

136
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: But there is no perfect security. We're going through in

137
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: so many different ways, and it's part I think of

138
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: the leftist and increasingly it does feel like they're they're Bolsheviks.

139
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it feels like the Democrat left in this country.

140
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: They're not close yet to getting a communist a communist state.

141
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: I understand that, but their mentality of absolutism and my

142
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: way or else and whatever I have to do, whoever

143
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: I have to destroy it starts to feel a bit

144
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: closer to the more extreme Marxists of the past. It

145
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: feels like they're willing to just say it doesn't matter

146
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: what our rules, traditions, and expectations are for each other.

147
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: If I need to crush you, I will even over

148
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: something that's rooted largely in hysteria and fear and not

149
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: reason and fairness. You know, the the selfishness of people

150
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: owning assault rifles. So this is an absurd statement, but

151
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: this is what you can expect from Sunny Hasten and

152
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: many many others. She is not herself somebody who stands

153
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: on a national stage in front of everyone and claims

154
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: to be a victim or related to a victim. And

155
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: that's another that's another series of conversations that will be

156
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: happening now. There'll be people who because they suffered a

157
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: personal tragedy or because they were they lost someone they

158
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: loved in a shooting. We have to listen to the

159
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: policy dictates that they give us. And if you disagree

160
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: with the policy dictate, what's the point. Is it that

161
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: they've made such a compelling argument, or is it that

162
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: you're a bad person? Is it that you're somebody who

163
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: doesn't care about dead children? This is what they said

164
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,839
Speaker 1: during Sandy Hook, if you didn't agree with the nationwide

165
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: assault weapons band that a Barack Obama wanted very much,

166
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: and universal background checks and all these other things, magazine limitations,

167
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: which this is for anybody who understands firearms, which many

168
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: of the loudest voices in opposition to firearms, many of

169
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: the loudest voices calling for guns to be banned or

170
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: calling for the laws to be changed. No very little

171
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: about them. That's a common thing. That's that's quite common, actually,

172
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: But they don't really care. They almost show off their

173
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: ignorance of guns and are happy about the fact that

174
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: they can use emotion over reason to try to push

175
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: people to taking actions on gun control measures. Or notice,

176
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: they say gun violence. They're trying to stop gun violence.

177
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: Why can't they just say that they want to take

178
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: guns from people, they want to control guns. They don't

179
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: like that term, they want to stop gun violence. They say, oh, okay,

180
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: this is so much about propaganda and not about what

181
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: will actually work. I don't want anyone to be harmed

182
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: in this country. I don't want anyone getting shot. You

183
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: don't want anyone getting shot, no innocent people getting shot.

184
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: And yet when we look at this and we see

185
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: that there are so many laws, there's so many regulations

186
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: already in place and are insufficient to stop all shootings. Obviously,

187
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: what do they decide There have to be more laws,

188
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: and there should be more state control, and if and

189
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: if you're not okay with that, they'll put forward someone

190
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: like Parkland Dad Fred Guttenberg, who is now appearing publicly

191
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: as he's now an advocate for a policy in the

192
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: public sphere. Here's what he says. Played twelve states and

193
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: cities across this country since Parkland have done amazing work

194
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: to pass gun safety measures to protect the people through

195
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: our communities across this country. And every time that's happened,

196
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: the nr RATE has been their filing lawsuits to make

197
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: us less safe. They are a terror organization that is

198
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: making us less safe. You can't make up these things.

199
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: I did. Literally six days ago, the n RATE achieved

200
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: its goal and they called it victories for Colorado. That's

201
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: what they called it. And here we are. Ten people did,

202
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: including a police officer, because of what they believe was

203
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: victory for Colorado. It is time to break the hold

204
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: that that terror organization has on our legislators and on

205
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: legislation it is time to focus on this public health epidemic.

206
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,599
Speaker 1: It is time to work together to save lives. That

207
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: is all that true matter right now, public health epidemic.

208
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: You caught that right. Notice the connection that they make

209
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: between what's going on right now where you have no

210
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: choice you must obey because of COVID nineteen and with

211
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: gun control now because gun violence is a public health epidemic.

212
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: You see, so is climate change that affects public health,

213
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: that affects our lives. It's existential and existential threat. There's

214
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: no discussion about these things. As far as they're concerned.

215
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: You will do what you are told. You will do

216
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: what they tell you to do, or else, or else,

217
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: they'll call you a terrorist organization. They'll go after your funding,

218
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: they'll ruin you. They'll make it possible for you to

219
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: pay your mortgage, feed your kids, go about your life.

220
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: They'll destroy you and maybe they'll lock you up to

221
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: they change these gun laws. They say that you can't

222
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: have a magazine with more than ten rounds. That usually

223
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: comes with a kind of prohibition where they'll put you

224
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: in a cell. They're going to lock you up because

225
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: you have a ten round magazine. Is that they think

226
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: that's fair, that's just it's absurd. But these are the

227
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: kinds of laws they like to push. And if they're

228
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: not willing to enforce those laws, then what's the point.

229
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: You have to ask that question too. If there's no penalty,

230
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: it's not really a law. So they are willing to

231
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: take a law abiding person who's done nothing wrong, who

232
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: refuses to hand over his semi automatic rifle. They're willing

233
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 1: to take that person and take away their freedom, make

234
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: them a convicted felon, ruin their lines because they think, oh,

235
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: we'll do this to millions and millions of people. Maybe

236
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: it stops one shooting. It really does start to sound

237
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: like a lot of the COVID policy that we've we've

238
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: been through. Sure it's not very effective. Sure there's all

239
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: kinds of loopholes and lockdowns, and there's essential workers, and

240
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: there's all these other stuff. You know, this mask up

241
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: between bites, all this stuff. But there's no amount of

242
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: irritation frustration that we can put you through that's too much.

243
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: If it saves just one life, that's what they'll tell you.

244
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: If it saves just one life, that's all that is

245
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: necessary to justify whatever infringement on your freedom. And it's

246
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: not that it has saved or will save if it could.

247
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: If it could save one life, that's enough for a

248
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: leftist in America today to justify any infringement upon your

249
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: freedom they desire. And this is one of the reasons

250
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: why I've been so concerned about how COVID policy and

251
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: the mentality around it is going to bleed into the

252
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: rest of society is going to spread well beyond the

253
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: area of public health. And I believe that it is possible,

254
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: it has to be possible, that people agree that these

255
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: slaughters have to stop. And this is again, reject the

256
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: false choice and stop pushing it for stop pushing the

257
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: false choice that this means everybody's trying to come after

258
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: your guns. That is not what we're talking about. No, no,

259
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: they have no interest in doing that. They don't speak

260
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: longingly and with great affection about Australia's mandatory buyback program.

261
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: That they don't point to places like Japan where individual

262
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: ownership of guns is almost impossible and basically doesn't exist.

263
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: They don't point to those places and say, look how

264
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: much better that would be. Why don't we do that here? No, No, no,

265
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: of course not No, it's not like they've been taking

266
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: an incremental approach to this for a very long time.

267
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: And it's not like they even will take a step

268
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: back and admit and recognize that there are many, many

269
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: laws on the books already about all these things. It's

270
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: not like we have some society where, despite what they're

271
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: telling you about how it's easier to buy a gun

272
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: than to vote in all this, that's a lie. There

273
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: are a lot of laws, a lot of regular lations

274
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: around gun purchases. I mean, I live in New York City,

275
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: which is a place where they've effectively made gun ownership

276
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: so onerous and so complicated as to be effectively banned.

277
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, sure, you can get your premise permit,

278
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: which will allow you to have a handgun in your

279
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: home after you go through a six month long period.

280
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: Now I believe the weight is more like eighteen months

281
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: to two years because of you know, the bureaucratic log

282
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: jam over as a result of all the COVID stuff.

283
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: But you have to pay hundreds of dollars, you have

284
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: to keep renewing it every two years, and you have

285
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: to keep it in a lockbox with a trigger guard

286
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: on it and separate ammunition in a different lockbox. I mean,

287
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: the ammunition in a different lockbox, and you can't necessarily

288
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: even take it out of the city. You can take

289
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: it too and from ranges. That's what they tell you. Yeah,

290
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: that sounds like my Second Amendment rights. That sounds like

291
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm really able to protect myself and be an armed citizen.

292
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: So you know, I see how they do this, and

293
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: that's their preferred outcome. And of course you would look

294
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: at this and say, hold on a second. There are

295
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: still a lot of shootings in New York. Not as

296
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: many as per capita as Chicago and some other places,

297
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: but there are shootings that happened here. Haven't those people

298
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: read the laws about how they have to go through

299
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: a permitting process, and don't they know about the lock

300
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: on the trigger guard. Don't they know that they're breaking

301
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: all kinds of rules and regulations and they could face

302
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: prison time. I doubt they think about that before they

303
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: fire off, you know, ten rounds into a crowded, crowded

304
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: park area because they're having a drug dispute and they

305
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, they hit a child. I don't think they're

306
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: considering the latest legislation from the New York State Assembly

307
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: at about guns and how they say it's going to

308
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: protect lives. I think they don't care. I think we

309
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: all know they don't care. And so here we are

310
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: still being told that if only there were more laws,

311
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: this would go away. There's a dishonesty here. There's a

312
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: dishonesty because we had gun control in the nineties. We

313
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: had the assault rifle, the so called assault rifle band,

314
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: and there are still millions of assault rifles that are

315
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: in circulation to this day. They're very rarely used in

316
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: day to day crimes, and they're used mostly in these

317
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: high profile mass shooting incidents. And they banned them, so

318
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: to speak, in the nineties, and Joe Biden was a

319
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: part of that, and it didn't result in the drop

320
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: in violence that they said it when it didn't result

321
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: in people being safer. There are plenty of mass shootings

322
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: that don't involve long guns. As you know, the Ford

323
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,479
Speaker 1: Hood shooter, Nidal Hassan, those were two pistols with extended clips.

324
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: By the way, the Virginia Tech shooter was using a

325
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: semi automatic pistols. I think one of them was like

326
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: a Tech nine type gun, but you know, he was

327
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: not using a long gun. There have been plenty of

328
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: mass shootings that did not involve long guns. So what

329
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: do you what is really accomplished here? If somebody wants

330
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: to go on a shooting spree and you say that

331
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: they can't have a semi automatic rifle on, they could

332
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: still achieve it, possibly illegally, in two a pistol or

333
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: two will accomplish the exact same task. And what's what's

334
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: really done? What? What does this really serve as a purpose? Well,

335
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: it makes democrats who are in a panic. It makes

336
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: those democrats who are in a panic and who also

337
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: want to control people feel like they're doing something. And

338
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: that feeling of just doing something is very intoxicating to

339
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: people who believe that the government, believe that the state

340
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: is on there. The state is a tool for bringing

341
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: about a utopian society. If only we give the state

342
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: more powerful, only we give the state more authority, we

343
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: will be in a place where we don't have to

344
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: worry anymore because they will protect us. That's been the

345
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: thought about COVID the whole time too. That's been the

346
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: thought about all of this that's been going on around us,

347
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: with the lockdowns, and it's wrong. That's actually not how

348
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: governments work. That's not how society works, That's not what

349
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: his street tells us. But this is a very deeply

350
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: ingrained belief in people. They want to think that there

351
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: is some higher power of the state, not of God,

352
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: that is protecting them. And that's what we have to

353
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 1: grapple with now when we're talking about what's going on

354
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: with this gun control effort. It has been remarkable to

355
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: see the shift in tone after the identity and some

356
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: of the background information about this shooter came out. Initially,

357
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: it was all about white supremacy. They told us. This

358
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: was in the media. This was people who have prominent platforms.

359
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't everyone, but they were ready to

360
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: report on this, and there certainly was that CNN clip

361
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: from the initial hours afterwards where they wanted to establish

362
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: very much the shooter was white, and there are all

363
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: these people who were saying on social media, oh, another

364
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: another white guy engaged in a mass shooting. This is

365
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: what always happens, which of course is not true. It

366
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: turns out that mass shootings are in general pretty dispersed

367
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: among the general population in terms of ethnicities. There are

368
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: plenty of mass shooters who are of different ethnic backgrounds.

369
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: If you go back and look at the real data,

370
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: and especially when you start to add in a shooting

371
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: that involves three or four or more people as victims,

372
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it becomes a very diverse

373
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: group of perpetrators. But they initially wanted this to fit

374
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: into a narrative because people are very they're very angry

375
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: in this country right now. There are a lot of

376
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: people who are very upset about what's going on around us,

377
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: but they don't really know why. And they won't blame

378
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: the government for taking away their freedom, separating them from

379
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 1: loved ones and all of that. No, they'd rather take

380
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: the position that it's Donald Trump's fault still or something

381
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: like that. And as you know, if you've tried to

382
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: share your political opinions on social media lately, it's really

383
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: hard to have a civil conversation. But luckily there's caucus

384
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: room dot com. This is a social media network exclusively

404
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,439
Speaker 1: how about that? I mean, how onerous would it be

405
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: to have a gunshop owner just say, by the way,

406
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: are you hearing voices? Do you ever hear anybody? Do

407
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: you think people are chasing you? Do you think everybody's

408
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: watching you? I mean that it would have weeded out

409
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: possibly this guy Well, Alison, I completely agree with the

410
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: concerns that you're mentioning, But based on the law, even

411
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: asking those questions wouldn't wouldn't allow a buyer to prevent

412
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: the purchase, at least under federal law. I mean, how

413
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: much dummer is the national conversation from the Democrat media

414
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: going to get here? Here? You have an anchor on

415
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: TV saying how onerous would it be to have a

416
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: gunshop owner just say, by the way, are you hearing voices?

417
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: Do you think people are chasing you? Basically, why don't

418
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: we have gunshop owners ask everybody who buys a gun,

419
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: are you crazy? Now? Even for people who have mental illness,

420
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: even for people who are who have made the choice

421
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: to be evil. And I think that is a choice

422
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: that people can make. I think it is a choice

423
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: that many people have made. They're generally sly enough that

424
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: when they're going through that process of purchasing a weapon,

425
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: they're not going to say, I see pink elephants flying

426
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: in the sky, and that's why I want to buy

427
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: this rifle so I can shoot them. They generally will

428
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: not do that, even in the one or a million

429
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: circumstance of somebody who's trying to legally purchase a firearm

430
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: to use it for this kind of awful purpose of murder,

431
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: of mass murder. They're not actually going to say, yes,

432
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm crazy, but sell me the gun. Anyway, this may

433
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: come as a shock to a Miss Camarado over seeing that.

434
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: And again, I don't I don't like to be mean

435
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: about any of this stuff. When people are saying these

436
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: dumb things, I say they're dumb just because I think

437
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: it's necessary that we understand what the truth is. I

438
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: say that these are bad ideas because I think it's

439
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: harmful and I think it's it's not good for us,

440
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,479
Speaker 1: and these are just unintelligent positions are that are being

441
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: taken by people who don't know very much about these issues.

442
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: But this is about the emotion in these moments and

443
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: the politics around them. I mean, here's Kamala Harris saying

444
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: that the point here is, well, you know what she's

445
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: going to say, You just got to do something. Play three.

446
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: Congress needs to act, and on the House side they did.

447
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: There are two bills which the President is prepared to sign,

448
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: and so we need the Senate to act. And this

449
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: is going to be about your viewers, and all of

450
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: us pleading to the reason, pleading to the hearts and

451
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: minds of the people in the United States Senate to say,

452
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: enough with the partisanship, enough with the ideological perspective on this.

453
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 1: Let's just be practical and agree. People who have been

454
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: found to be a danger to themselves and others should

455
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: not be able to purchase. So what will the administration do.

456
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: We keep hearing about executive action. What does that mean,

457
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: Madam Vice President. What it means is that we need

458
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: to take action. But Gail, let's be clear about this.

459
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: There is the piece about executive action. But if we

460
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: pass legislation, it's permanent. If the Congress acts, then it

461
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: becomes law. And that is what we have lacked. That

462
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: is what has been missing. We need universal background checks.

463
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: You know, various states have done it, but there's no

464
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: universal approach to this, and so what ends up happening.

465
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: People can move from one state to another depending on

466
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: what the law is. We need to have a federal

467
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: standard and that is going to be accomplished by the

468
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: way we have structured our democracy. When the United States

469
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: Congress acts, the House is acted. Now it's in the

470
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: hands of the Senate. Does anyone really think universal background

471
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: checks are going to save laws. Really, they believe that

472
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: they don't understand. The Democrats don't understand that what's going

473
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: on here is essentially the repeat of a conversation we've

474
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: had many times before, and they want it to sound

475
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: as reasonable as possible. This is why they'll say common

476
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: sense gun control. If it's so common sense, you don't

477
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: need to call it common sense. Yeah, it's like what

478
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: that you're set about being a lady, if you have

479
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: to say you are when you're not. You know, if

480
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: gun control measures are so obvious, yes, I think it's

481
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: I think it is fair to say that, you know,

482
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to buy a backpack, you know,

483
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: thermonuclear device, right. I think it's fair to say that

484
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: you shouldn't you know, you shouldn't be selling military grade

485
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: CE four at the corner drug store. I get it.

486
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: There are some things where people would say it's not

487
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: in common usage. It's not necessary for the defense of yourself,

488
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: your home, and to be able to defend yourself in

489
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: some meaningful capacity, right, I mean this is what the

490
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: Heller decision in the Supreme Court took up some years ago.

491
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: Now addressed that even at the American found Even at

492
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: the American Founding, when you know, people were allowed to

493
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: have muskets, and we always get in this conversation what

494
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: was acceptable. Then Scalia wrote something about how walking around

495
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: with a headsman's axe is weird and maybe that's not okay,

496
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: and maybe that's a regulation we can have. You don't

497
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: have to have that. That's a little b dangerous. You know,

498
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: having a flamethrower, I think, is yeah, that's a problem.

499
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: You don't need a flamethrower to defend your home. Although

500
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: some of you, I know we're saying, Buck, I've I've

501
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: already got a flamethrower, But in general, I don't think

502
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: you need these things. And I know that then they'll say, well, Buck,

503
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: they say you don't need an air fifteen. Yeah, but

504
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: when they when you actually get into it. A firearm

505
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: is you know, firearms that are in common usage, that

506
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: are are are basically a part now of what American

507
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: gunners across the country have and depend on. And and honestly,

508
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: this is just the musket of today. That's what the

509
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: expectation is. You know, it's not that everybody gets to

510
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: have a stinger missile. And I know that they'll say, well,

511
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: you don't need an air fifteen. Yeah, but an Air

512
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: fifteen is really very There's very little difference between that

513
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: and a standard hunting rifle. It's just a function of

514
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: the cosmetics and perhaps enfolding stock a few it depends

515
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: we're talking. There's a lot of different guns out there.

516
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: But what we see is this desire to take action.

517
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: What we see is this decision that they have to

518
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: do something irrespective of whether it will actually have a

519
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: positive impact, irrespective of whether it will actually achieve the goal.

520
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: And this is a government that I do not believe

521
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: has should have any leeway to infringe upon rights because

522
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: they say, oh, we promise this time, will will be

523
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: more fair in how we do this. We promise this

524
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: time we're not going to abuse the power. I mean,

525
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: we've had the government now in different states shutting down

526
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: people's ability to open their businesses, to go to work,

527
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: to go to church. There have been extreme infringements upon

528
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: liberty and upon freedom that have come from all of this.

529
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: So I do think it's necessary. I do think it's

530
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: important to understand that we've been conditioned now, our country,

531
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: our society has been conditioned. Many people have at least

532
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: to just accept whatever the state says as though it's gospel,

533
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: as though there's no reason to push back. There should

534
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: be no need for debate. They have your best interests

535
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: at heart, and if you disagree with this, they'll tell

536
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: you that you're a as you know, a bad person.

537
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: Just a quick note for all of you. If I

538
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: sound a little bit a little bit off today, I apologize.

539
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: I am quite sick, but I wanted to do the

540
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: show today and get through it. So don't think I'll

541
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: be all right. But I'm not feeling well, and so

542
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing the show at home. It's just me and

543
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: Tallulah here the French Bulldog. But I wanted to all

544
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: to know that sounds different today, or if I sounded

545
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: all foggy to you, it's because I'm pushing through. But

546
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: you should know that you're not getting the You're not

547
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: getting a healthy buck right now. You're getting kind of

548
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: buck trying to do his best to just keep it

549
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: all going. My voice is pretty shot, my throat's pretty

550
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: messed up, but I'll keep I'll keep it going. And

551
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: that means looking at some more of the debates and

552
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: some more of the pushback that we have from people

553
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: on the Democrat side of this now because they're they're

554
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: wanting to take action, and I think there's a chance

555
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: they may do something that even the Obama administration would

556
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: have been unwilling to go for. They would have been

557
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: unwilling to push as far. Well, it's kind of two parts.

558
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean, one, I do think we need to rediscover

559
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: in our K through twelve system, the founding of the country,

560
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: what makes the country unique, our constitution, our founding fathers,

561
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: some of the great figures throughout our history, whether it's

562
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: a link In or an MLK or a Reagan winning

563
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: the Cold War. But when you do that, it's got

564
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: to be true and solid and factual, and you can't

565
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: let it become infected with left wing ideology like critical

566
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: race theory. Critical race theory is basically teaching people to

567
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: hate our country, hate each other. It's divisive, and it's

568
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: basically an identity politics version of Marxism. So I don't

569
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: think it has any place in the classroom. Certainly shouldn't

570
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: be funded by tax dollars. So as we're doing this

571
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: bold civics initiative, which is important, I think people like that,

572
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: but I think a lot of people look at and say, well, Okay,

573
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: they better be teaching the right stuff. So we're gonna

574
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: have a deep politicized curriculum. We're not going to let

575
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: that stuff in there. And I think that that's going

576
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: to serve students well in the state of Florida for

577
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: years to come. Governor Ron De Santis giving an excellent

578
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: explanation for what's going on here, and this is he's

579
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: the most important Republican officeholder in the country right now

580
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: in terms of the message, in terms of the results

581
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: he's had from the COVID lockdowns. He more than anyone else,

582
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: has really been able to hold the line and to

583
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 1: speak actual truth to power against the consensus with so

584
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,719
Speaker 1: many of these things. I know, he's the governor, but

585
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: he has he has to take on the Democrat machinery.

586
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: He has to take on the mainstream media coming after

587
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: him with everything that they've got. And I think eventually

588
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: people realize that, you know this, this is what we need.

589
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: We actually need Republicans who can make and who are

590
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: making the case because the things are going to get

591
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: things are gonna get worse in this regard. I mean,

592
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: the the issues that you're seeing coming up now where

593
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: when there's a mass shooting, all of a sudden, there's

594
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: this impulse on the left to blame white males, blame

595
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: white men, They're the problem. That's that should be really

596
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: disconcerting to everybody that now, the very first thing that

597
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: happens when there's a mass shooting like this is that

598
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: a portion of America wants to point the point a

599
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: finger at at basically another very large portion of America

600
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: and make this somehow their fault, their responsibility, without any

601
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: facts and evidence, without knowing anything. And this is the

602
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: focus of this Biden administration. And it's amazing, is if

603
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is all about we hear all about

604
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: racial justice and things along this line social justice. When

605
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is the oldest whitest guy you could ever

606
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: find anywhere, right, I mean, Joe Biden is this is

607
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: a guy who's almost eighty, who loves playing golf at

608
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: the country club, who's from Delaware. I mean, this is

609
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: not a guy who anybody would think of as some

610
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: kind of racial justice warrior at all. But nonetheless, that's

611
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: what the administration seems to be taking on as as

612
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: as an important part of their agenda. Democrats like Senators

613
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: Tammy Duckworth of Illinois Maizie Herono of Hawaii have said things,

614
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: even going as far as that all Biden nominees who

615
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:04,479
Speaker 1: are not racial minority. They said this just yesterday will

616
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: not get through that Biden can't nominate senior government to

617
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: senior government positions people who are not racial minorities. They said,

618
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: they'll only vote for a white nominee if the nominee

619
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: is LGBTQ. So if you're not a racial minority or

620
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: a member of the LGBTQ community. Here you have two

621
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: senators who were saying they will not vote for you.

622
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,919
Speaker 1: I mean, that's racists, right, we understand this like that's

623
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: we've gone to that point now where we're actually punishing

624
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: people who are white for their skin color. And that's

625
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: what they were. These are United States senators. Now they've

626
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 1: since backed off of that, they've they've changed their position,

627
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: but the fact that they would even feel comfortable saying

628
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: that at all is stunning, honestly. But that's where we've

629
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: gone now as a society. That's what we find ourselves

630
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: dealing with. That's what we are in the midst of

631
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: and we need to call it out and say why

632
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: it's problematic. We need to tell everybody what what the

633
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: issues are with dividing us by race in this way.

634
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: I know I said I'd said before guys that I'm

635
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm not really feeling well. I'll tell you I'm fading

636
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 1: a little bit, and uh, it's it's not not easy

637
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: to get through today. So again I apologize so much

638
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: for those of you who are listening. We are wondering

639
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: why I don't sound like the normal buckets because I am.

640
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: I am not well right now, and I'm gonna have

641
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: to investigate, you know, what I can do to try

642
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: to get better as soon as possible. But we do

643
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: have Governor Scott Walker here, former Governor Scott Walker of

644
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: Wisconsin coming up to talk to us about a plan

645
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: that he has to push back against some of this

646
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: left wing madness, So stick around for that. It is

647
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: amazing how much the left controls the institutions of communication

648
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:54,919
Speaker 1: of culture in this country and the way that they've

649
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: been able to seize through their dominance of Silicon Valley sees.

650
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: Control the Internet is one of those things that this

651
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: is going to take a long time for us to

652
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: fight back against. I mean, people are talking about antitrust

653
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: law and breaking them up as monopolies. I think that's

654
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: a good start, but that's just that's just the beginning

655
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: of what's going to have to be a much longer

656
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: term challenge here because they're they're not ever going back

657
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: now that they've told us who they are. Now that

658
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: these social media companies and these internet these Internet giants

659
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 1: have shown us what their politics really are, There's there's

660
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: no way they're going to say, you know what, you're right.

661
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: And also, even if they told us they're willing to

662
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: play fair and be monitored, they're not going to do that.

663
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: They're not actually going to say, you know what, we're

664
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: We're going to do it and then you can trust them.

665
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: How could you trust them? And the fact is these

666
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: Internet companies aren't going to be trustworthy. And also, the

667
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: Internet in general never forgets, and there's never been a

668
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: more important time to protect your Internet activity. And that's

669
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: why I'm telling you you've got to get Express VPN.

670
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: Everything you search for, a watch, or click online can

671
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: be tracked by big tech companies. They can match your

672
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 1: activity to your true identity using your device is unique

673
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: IP address. When I switch on Express VPN on my

674
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: computer or phone. My IP address is masked by a

675
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: server with a secure VPN, which makes it harder for

676
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: websites to identify me. Okay. The Express VPN app also

677
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 1: encrypts my network data to protect my sense of information

678
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,359
Speaker 1: from being compromised. You can use Express VPN on up

679
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: to five devices simultaneously, so multiple users on your network

680
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: can stay safe with a single subscription. So stop handing

681
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: over your data to big tech companies. Do what I do.

682
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 1: Use Express VPN for online protection you can trust. Visit

Speaker 1: We often talk to you about the problems on this

688
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 1: show that the country face is from cancel culture and

689
00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: from the leftist domination of institutions. Let's start to talk

690
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: about how we can fix things. Let's actually talk about

691
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: solutions as well, and to that end, we're joined by

692
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: the former governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker. He is with

693
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: us now to talk about a program I think you

694
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: want to hear about called The Long Game. Governor Walker

695
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 1: great to have you, sir, Thanks for calling in. Hey,

696
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 1: my pleasure. Glad to be with you as well. We're excited.

697
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 1: Tell us about the long game. This twelve point action

698
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: plan to fight back against an intolerant liberal agenda sounds

699
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: good to me. Yeah, you know, the left has been

700
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: at this for decades. Sometimes we look at this chaos

701
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: or the last year not only on college campuses, but

702
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: in culture and increasingly into communications with the censorship from

703
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: big tech, and think, well, how do we get here? Well,

704
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: this started by the left back decades ago, you know,

705
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: saw Lensky in the sixties. They've moved their way, they've

706
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: accelerated it, and so what we're proposing is not only

707
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: to be engaged in the battles of the day, but

708
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: to have really to win the war for the heart

709
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: and soul of our republic and really require there's unbelievable action.

710
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 1: I'll give you a good example. Young America's Foundation why

711
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: f where I'm at right now, just starting as a

712
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: new leader, has been involved historically, been involved all across

713
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,720
Speaker 1: the country. But we support students in about two thousand

714
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: campuses across the nation. That's great, that's one of the

715
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 1: largest reaches of any conservative organization out there, but it's

716
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: not enough. There are four thousand plus colleges and universities

717
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: across America. Our long game plan says we're going to

718
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: be on all of them, and we're not just going

719
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: to be on undergraduate programs. We're going to be in

720
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: community and technical colleges where people are getting two year

721
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: associate degrees. We're not just going to be in college.

722
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: We're going to be in high school and junior high

723
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: and we're needed. We're even going to provide materials for

724
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: students and families even in the later elements of elementary school. Why,

725
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: because the Left is there, they're engaging earlier, they're trying

726
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: to engage in indoctrination of our young people. We've got

727
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: to counter it. And the reason they're trying to cancel

728
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 1: us now more than ever, it's because our ideas work

729
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: and we need to get it to more young people

730
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: to show that it works and get them on the

731
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: right track. So the twelve point action plan take me

732
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: through some of the some of the specific steps. Yeah. Well,

733
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: in addition to getting on every campus, we've got, for example,

734
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: we've got the largest speakers Conservative Speakers a group in

735
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: the country and college campus is we're going to dramatically

736
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: increase that. We're not only going to increase that in

737
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: a person, but we found this past year during the

738
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: pandemic that actually students came in robes to our YouTube site, which,

739
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: by the way, you wouldn't pick this up for most

740
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: of the media, but that YouTube is the number one

741
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: place that young people get their information, not Twitter, not Facebook,

742
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: done Instagram, overwhelming me by YouTube. And so we want

743
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: to have five million subscribers to our what's called yaff TV,

744
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: our YouTube channel, and have one billion, that's a billion

745
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: with a b one billion views of the programs we provide.

746
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: And what students we found really a positive finding for us,

747
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: is that they crave con They don't just want you know,

748
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: flash in the pan. They don't want bumper stickers or

749
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 1: memes in their case. They want to hear from speakers.

750
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 1: But particularly they want to hear speakers who are on campus,

751
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: in out in culture of the society, taking tough questions

752
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: from liberals and responding to it in kind. I think

753
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: not only these students want that, I think all the

754
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: rest of us want more examples of that because the

755
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: left is trying to make us feel isolated. They trying

756
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: to make us feel alone, and so for us to

757
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,120
Speaker 1: have a presence on every campus, they have more speakers,

758
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: more programs, more conferences, more ways to bring people to truth,

759
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 1: and then once they hear it, to bring them together

760
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: the show that they're not alone, that there's so many

761
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: more people that think like they do than they ever

762
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: dreamed or imagine. We have to do that, and another

763
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: big element of the long game is we got to

764
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: do that sooner. Ronald Reagan when he ran for president

765
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: of nineteen eighty I was twelve years old. I know

766
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: what an influence he was on me, not just as

767
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,399
Speaker 1: a conservative, but as an optimist. We need to reach

768
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: people that age or younger. And we definitely have to

769
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 1: offset the nonsense like the sixteen nineteen project and all

770
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: to talk even in elementary school, about teaching our students

771
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: to hate America, to hate our founders. We need to

772
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: counter that with part of our long game plan is

773
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 1: one element is it to actually go and provide not

774
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: only students but parents the information materials they need to

775
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: counter that, to talk about the greatness of our founding principles,

776
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: how iconic our founders were in to reinforce the value

777
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: Judeo Christian values that our country is founded on. We

778
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: can do all this and more, but we need to engage.

779
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: That's why people who want a free copy of it

780
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: go to YAF dot org slash long Game. We'll get

781
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 1: your free copy. We'll get you engaged in these efforts,

782
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: and please help us recruit young people to be a

783
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: part of our programs, to come to our conferences, to

784
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: get engaged. Now more than ever, it's important. We're speaking

785
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: to former Governor of Wisconsin Scott Walker, and Scott, I

786
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: want to know what you think of what we've seen

787
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: from the Biden administration so far, because it seems to

788
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: many of us I would certainly put myself in this

789
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: category that we were told that Joe Biden would be

790
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: something of a moderate, that Joe Biden would be a

791
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 1: guy who would rein in some of the more radical

792
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: impulses of the left within the Democrat Party. That doesn't

793
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: seem to be what we've seen so far, and especially

794
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: with the border crisis unfolding now as it has, I

795
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are feeling like there was

796
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: a switch made of some kind here, that there was

797
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: a there was a head fake involved. What do you

798
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 1: see going on with the Biden administration thus far. Well.

799
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: I warned last summer going into the DNC convention, which

800
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: was supposed to be in Milwaukee, in my backyard, I

801
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: warned that I felt that once Joe Biden put Kamala

802
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: Harris on the ticket, he had effectively outsourced his agenda

803
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: to the radical left. Remember, as pleasant as nice as

804
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: she appears to many in the public, her voting record,

805
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: according to news Week, is actually more liberal, more radical

806
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: than even Bernie Sanders. Are hard to believe a running

807
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: mate on any major ticket would be that far to

808
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: the left, but she was. And I think you see

809
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 1: that reflected in the people he's surrounded with and the

810
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,920
Speaker 1: policies he put in place over the last two months.

811
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: It is about as far away as you can get

812
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 1: from from modern or mainstream than anyone ever dreamed of.

813
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,879
Speaker 1: And that's because he's just he's not in charge. He's

814
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: and I'm not even commenting on his mental status. It's

815
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: just this is Joe Biden, a guy who ran three

816
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 1: times to be president. He will do and say anything

817
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: to be in office. And so what he's effectively done

818
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 1: is given the agenda to Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders

819
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: and AOC and the borders a classic example of that.

820
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: Not only is it bad public policy, it's tragic what's

821
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: happening to these children, the idea that these kids are

822
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: are their families are sending him here. The leader of

823
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: Mexico just yesterday pointed out that this is because of

824
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's policies. This is not you know, you or

825
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 1: me or anybody else in the right in America saying it.

826
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 1: The president of Mexico is saying this is why. Because

827
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: the reality is, of course, when you tell people you're

828
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: reversing the policies as the prior administration, when you're basically

829
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,439
Speaker 1: all about giving up a signal for open borders, we

830
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,879
Speaker 1: have chaos there and it's only going to get worse

831
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: because it's not just a border crisis. This is only

832
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: going to get worse as they push more of these

833
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: individuals into our society without any regard for where they're

834
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: coming from. And I don't mean people from Mexico. I've

835
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: been down at the border before with Governor Greg Abbott

836
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: in Texas and with others in Arizona and California in

837
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: the past. The biggest concern I have is not for

838
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 1: people coming over to want to work here. The biggest

839
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: concern is the terrorists that want to come in through

840
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: our southern border, the people involved in trafficking of humans,

841
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 1: of trafficking and drugs, of trafficing and firearms. This is

842
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: a public safety and national security risk, and this president

843
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 1: is completely boggled it up. And it's a good ample

844
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: why we've got to be engaged, not just in today's battle,

845
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,719
Speaker 1: but we got to be thinking ahead so we don't

846
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 1: continue to make those mistakes in the future, which again

847
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: is why we're involved along Game and Governor Walker. One

848
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: more thing before they should go the You came to

849
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 1: a national prominence when you were the governor Wisconsin for

850
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: taking on public sector unions. What do you see and

851
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: what do you think about when when these public public

852
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: sector unions with the teachers unions are coming up with

853
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 1: evermore creative ways to explain why they are essential workers,

854
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 1: but who should not actually have to go into the

855
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 1: classroom and do their jobs even after vaccinate vaccinations in

856
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: some cases, Yeah, you're not an essential worker if you

857
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: can't show up when it's essential. In Fairfax County, Virginia,

858
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: the teachers and administrators, they're literally jumped the line and

859
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: ahead of people who might have had higher risk, jumped

860
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: the line and then turned around and said Nope, we're

861
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: not going to go to school anyway. This is absolutely outrageous.

862
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 1: I would say it's the union bosses and the political

863
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: powers that be. It is not the everyday teacher. Two

864
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: of my wife's best friends are teachers. They are sick

865
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: and tired of being on zoom. They want to be

866
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: with their kids. They know their kids are suffering. They're

867
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: not only suffering academically, they are personally suffering. Overwhelmingly. For

868
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: all this talk in the last year about science, the

869
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: science shows that students and staff can safely be in

870
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: our schools, and that the science increasingly tragically showing that

871
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: our students are facing high levels of depression and in

872
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: many cases even to the verge of suicide rates going up.

873
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: We've got to get back in the school. We've got it.

874
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: That's a key part of reopening economy. And the last

875
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: thing I'll just say with that is I think it

876
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: ties into again to this long game plan. There's a

877
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: huge divide in America. It's not right and left. It's

878
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: not even PROTMP Randy Trump. It is blue collar and

879
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: white collar. So many people in white collar jobs who

880
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: could zoom the work and their kids could be in

881
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: the next room, just bought into all this oppressive pushback

882
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: on locking down our states and cities. The people in

883
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: blue collar jobs, the people who have to show up

884
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: for work every day or they don't get paid and

885
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: they don't make the mortgage. They and their children, and

886
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: those are the children we need to reach out who

887
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: are in college, in high school, and younger ages. We

888
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: need to tell them that we conservatives were the ones

889
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: who stood with their families about getting them back on

890
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,640
Speaker 1: their feet again and working again and getting them back

891
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: to school. The radicals on the left who want to

892
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: concentrate power and who buy into the union bosses, the

893
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: teachers union, they were the ones who kept things shut down.

894
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: We need to stand with the working men and women

895
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: of America and their children, and that I think is

896
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: a key part of the long game as well. Former

897
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: Governor Wisconsin, Scott Walker. Everybody, Scott, thank you so much

898
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: for your time, sir. I hope you come back. Thank

899
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: you be well, and keep fighting for freedom. Ey teen

900
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 1: Buckets producer Mark sorry to be the bearer of bad

901
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: news here, but buck will not be able to continue

902
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: today's show. As you could hear, he is quite ill.

903
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: Don't worry about him. His health is going to be okay.

904
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: He just needs some rest. But that's going to do

905
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: it for today's podcast. Thanks so much listening. We'll be

906
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: back with you the rest of the week. She'll Tai
