WEBVTT - Liberty Is Fleeting with Rep. Chip Roy 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.000 So I was on Twitter last week and this video 0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:06.920 popped up and I watched it of Congressman Chip Roy 0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:10.040 from Texas twenty one Congressional District. He was talking about 0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:12.959 the Second Amendment and the importance of the Second Amendment. 0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:15.600 Is it for sports, sure? Is it for self defense? Yeah? 0:00:15.600 --> 0:00:19.279 Even better? But what it's really important for is to 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:23.400 protect Americans from tyranny, right, And he said this, said, 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.920 tyrants disarmed the people they intend to oppress. And then 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:30.920 he went on listing out examples in history of when 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:34.360 that exact scenario took full that And I know everyone 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:38.120 listening to this podcast, you guys saw what happened during COVID. 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.120 We're not immune to tyranny here in America. It's very 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.600 much real and it's very much a threat to our lives. 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.839 So I'm really looking forward to this episode because we're 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.279 gonna talk to Congressmanship Roy. We're gonna talk about what 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.640 he said on the House floor about the Second Amendment. 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:54.720 We're also going to get into a bunch of other 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.960 issues as well. We're gonna talk about this war on 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.560 children that's hop in right now. Your children got the 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:06.840 brunt of COVID lockdowns, massed up can't play with your 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.080 friends at a really vital time in their lives of 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:14.679 learning and developing as little people, right, really important. So 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:16.560 they got the brunt of that. Now now they're being 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:20.920 indoctrinated in schools with this critical race theory crap with 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.520 gender or dysphoria, right, telling little kids, hey, little boy, 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.080 you can be a girl. Right, you think you're unhappy, 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:30.399 your life's a little bit tough, you're sad. Just be 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.240 a girl. It's gonna make everything better. And then you've 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.600 got these transgender groups coming out and saying, okay, this 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:40.160 can happen at an even younger age that you can 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:44.240 start puberty blockers at fourteen and some sex changes at fifteen. 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.800 And then you add on top of an abortion, which 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.920 is like the biggest part of the war on children. 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:52.640 So why is the left doing this? Well, you know 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.960 what's behind that. We're gonna get into that with him 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.920 as well. And then also Nancy Pelosi and Eric Adams 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:03.160 talking about how schools need drag queens. How about does 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.800 teachers read stories? Right? How about having a firefighter or 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.520 a police officer or just really anyone else or a 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.320 homeless person. I don't care, but why do you need 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.680 a dude a dressed as a woman with a clown 0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.920 makeup and wearing like what's the point of that, right, 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:19.920 So we're gonna get into all these different things. Also 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.800 some questions on the vaccine Centator Rand Paul had a 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.240 great line of question of Fauci just talking about like 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.560 how many people in the Vaccine Committee, that the people 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.399 who are approving these vaccines for America, and how many 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:35.480 of them are receiving money from the vaccine manufacturers. So 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.440 a whole bunch to get to with Congressman ship Roy, 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.120 I'm really looking forward to this interview. I think you're 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:54.919 gonna love it. So here it is progress and ship Roy, 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:56.399 it's such an honor to have you on the show. 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.040 I really appreciate you taking the time now, it's my pleasure, 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.800 honors mine to join. I appreciate what you do and 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.239 trying to help the American people understand what's really going 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:05.840 on and finding for the right thing. So thank you. 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:08.840 I mean, isn't it hard these days? It's like we 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.320 just look at what's going on in the country and 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.080 just this effort to really silence and censor speech and 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.320 in sense or anyone trying to get to the truth, 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.400 which I know you've experienced in Congress. Yeah, and and 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.200 in fact, it's even worse than that in Congress, right, 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.480 because what we see in terms of censorship and all 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.800 of that is is you know, blanketing the country and 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.639 limiting our ability to speak freely and point things out. 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:35.160 In Congress, we actually just constrained ourselves from actually being 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.560 able to debate and and have any conversation here in 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.360 the supposed deliberated bodies of the Senate and the House, 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.560 the People's House. We never offer amendments. It's been six 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:46.480 years since we've had an amendment offered on the floor 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.080 of the House. We never have the ability to influence anything. 0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.400 Just today, for example, we're getting a bill about burn 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.440 pits for veterans, something we're all you know, sensitive to 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.520 and we all feel here heading the July fourth a 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.360 sense of you know, appreciation are veterans and they should 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.920 be cared for. But this bill is going to put 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:08.280 on spending mandatory spending six seventy five billion dollars with 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.600 two hundred and seventy billion dollars of deficit spending, and 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.240 it's gonna blow the lid off of of how we 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.160 deal with veterans spending, and all of our colleagues are 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:21.120 just gonna in lockstep vote for it because veterans. We 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.240 won't have a debate, we won't talk about paying for it. 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.640 And there's your people's talents, Lisa, How can we save 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:30.600 this country if we're funding the tyranny of bureaucracy that's 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.800 strangling us. That's a problem, but it is not the 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.320 challenge with Congress of trying to get to the truth 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.599 with some of the even just the legislation, right, because 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.000 as you mentioned, they'll say it's about veterans. Everyone wants 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.080 to help veterans. We love veterans. But then you look 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.960 at some of the spending issue or even you know, 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.480 or or they'll put some you know, really nice tight 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.240 title on it and and and make it seem like it's, 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.120 you know, really worthwhile and it's needed, right, But then 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.280 when you look at really what's in it, there's all 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:59.480 these poison pills. Well, that's exactly right, And and we 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.440 never you know, democratic colleagues got on me and sort 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.960 of mocked me for daring the question that we voted 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.000 on a forty billion dollar Ukraine bill that I got 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.600 at three o'clock in the afternoon, and they later said, well, well, gosh, 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.560 you're complaining it's only a twenty page bill. So yet 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.640 that's not the point. The point is we had no debate. 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.039 We had no briefings. I didn't have any of the 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.880 the Joint chiefs or the Secretary of Defense or anybody 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:25.719 come down and say, okay, guys, here's how we're gonna 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.280 use the forty billion. Here's how this is gonna you know, 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:32.240 end up in the good result for the America's national security. No, no, 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.080 we never had a debate. We sure as heck didn't 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.680 have it in private, much less public. And so what 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.159 we have we have a bill dropped on the floor, 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.320 You vote yes or no, you go give a speech 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.360 that is not deliberation. And so to the point about 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.920 freedom and what we're doing in this country, we are 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:51.159 destroying the bedrock of the foundational principles of this country, 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.200 where you have representatives in a republic coming together and 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:58.200 airing out those differences responsibly when limiting principles on spending, 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.279 limiting the size and scope government so that the people 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.320 can be free, We're not doing that. And Republicans are 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.240 just as guilty as democrats. Well, and I wanted to 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.479 get to the issue of freedom, because obviously we have 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.400 the First Amendment for a reason, and we also have 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.560 the Second Amendment for a reason. And I really wanted 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:14.880 to have you on the show because I saw that 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.400 clip that went around on Twitter of you giving a 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:19.559 floor speech about the Second Amendment. I want to play 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.360 just a little bit of it for the audience right 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:23.720 now and then talk to you about it. On the 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.960 other side, we have a second Amendment because we understand 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.880 in this country that there are some things inalienable rights 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.240 that you cannot justly take away from a free and 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:37.600 equal human being. Tyrants disarmed the people they intend to oppress. 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.159 Those are the facts. I mean, that really is what 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.440 it's about. Right, Tyrants do disarm the people they intend 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.520 to oppress. And then you went on and gave a 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:50.520 list of those examples of times throughout history when that happens. 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:51.760 And I think, you know, I used to be kind 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:54.040 of naive about freedom in America. I used to think 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.640 that we were somewhat immune to tyranny until COVID hit, 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.400 and then you really got to see that we're not immune. 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.000 Did her ay in America? So to your point, you know, 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.880 how concerned should we be about our own government trying 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:09.600 to oppress us right now. You know, someone was making 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.640 fun of me yesterday on Twitter because I've retweeted some 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.400 dude who was talking about the benefits of a bowl 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:21.239 of crickets versus beef, and I said, Hey, Democrats and liberals, 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.840 the left, leftists are at war with you America, and 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.080 this thing. He wrote back some you know, media for 0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.600 Bloomberg or somebody says, I mean, remember, Congress is out 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.559 there talking about some random tweet about cricket. But here's 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.000 the reality. The reality is the left is at war 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:40.000 with us. Democrats are at war with the American people, 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:44.680 and we're not responding in kind. We are not recognizing 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:48.000 the assault on our liberties in real time. Now. Why 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.000 does that matter in the context of what you just said, 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.440 is because history is replete with examples of people who 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.760 are going about their daily life knowing about things and everything. 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.360 Hunky Dory and all of those same kind of people 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:01.720 were out there saying, oh, well, don't worry about what 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:03.960 they're doing. Oh you're not gonna live. They're not gonna 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.480 come in and take your your livestock. They're not gonna 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.400 come in and you know, uh, you know, uh, you know, 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.760 undermine your freedoms or make your kids go to a 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.000 certain school. They're not gonna come take your kids and 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:16.360 put them in some indoctrination kid. That will never happen. 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:20.760 But the fact is power is power, and human nature 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.840 is such that that power is going to aggregate and 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.720 concentrate amongst small groups or individuals who want to exploit 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.040 it for their own gain and power. And the Left 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.200 is just as guilty of that here in this country, 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.280 and we're seeing it in real time. And that is 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.320 the point, and that is why we must maintain our 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.440 ability to be armed. The only distinction between us and 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.679 the rest of the world during all of these lockdowns 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.720 is federalism and the Second Amendment. And we got to 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.320 remember that when we watch what happened in Australia and 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.880 New Zealand, and you saw people being dragged in the 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.120 streets and being locked up because they dare go out 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:55.760 and say, I don't want to jab stuck in my arm, 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:57.839 or obviously what we saw in China where people are 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.080 in apartment buildings on fire because they're locked in. It's 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:04.200 real and it happens on this earth here now, and 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:05.959 that's the point of liberty, and that's why our founders 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:07.760 gave us a second Amendment. And I think the left 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.280 used to be a little bit more discreet until COVID 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.400 hit and until Trump came along, and then it was 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.600 just sort of like like the curtain gone right. Because 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.920 to your point, like the whole point of America and 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:19.880 the whole point of our foundation and what makes us 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:23.160 different is our founding fathers protected us from government, right. 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:27.520 They created these safeguards to protect us from government over region, 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.000 our own government, and they also protected us from mob 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.000 rule as well. And what we've seen from the left 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.800 is just this blatant attack, one attack after enough another 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:40.400 to tear those safeguards down. And I think that's what's 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.280 so dangerous about where we are today, is just this 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:47.520 outright assault on these safeguards that protect us from our 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.920 own government. I agree completely. And remember what my great 0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:53.120 fear is at the moment is is that pretty much 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.240 what we have left in terms of liberty are those 0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.400 last vestiges of the structures the founders put in place, 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.720 so separation of powers, the federalism aspect, and the fact 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.800 that we have a second Amendment, we are now down 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.199 to those those core elements because all of the rest 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:12.240 is getting assaulted every day. Just ask a simple question 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.960 if you're a listener, are you truly free with respect 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.920 to your children's ability to get the education of your choice. 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:22.439 You can't send them to a taxpayer funded school where 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.640 they can pray or no God, or be able to 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.520 be taught that there's a man and a woman. You 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.800 can't do that. You have to then pay taxes to 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.240 a school you won't use, and then go borrow money 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.079 or spend your retirement to send your kids to a 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.080 private school or home school. Are you free with respect 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.000 to your ability to have the energy of your choice 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:43.400 without it being highly taxed expensive gas because Joe Biden 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.160 and a bunch of leftists want to pursue unicorn ferry 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.960 dust for their energy policy. No, you're not free, right. 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.520 I can go down list after list after list to 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:54.680 all of the things your healthcare. Are you free to 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.600 go to the doctor of your choice without an insurance 0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.480 bureaucratic government bureaucrat telling you exactly what you can do, 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.400 where you can, which doctor you can have, and how 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.320 much you're gonna pay for it. No, you're not free. 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:08.240 Let's stop pretending we're free. We're not. We should go 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.160 reclaim freedom. That is what we should be focused on. 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:16.199 And I'm looking at America. I'm looking past two. I'm 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.200 looking and taking back the House and all of these 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:22.520 mantras by politicians for power. I'm looking past you know 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:26.640 who's going to be president or two undif birthday, And 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.920 we have to ask ourselves a question are we going 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.760 to live free? And that is the question that should 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.079 drive every single one of us, is liberty loving Americans 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.720 to make choices to make sure our kids and grandkids 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.920 can live free. Agree. But there's also this weird self 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.360 censorship that's going on in our society as well, and 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.000 I think a lot of it is driven by social 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:46.679 media in the sense of, like how many people went 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.559 out and got vaccinated because they didn't want to be 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.520 called an anti vaxer, right, Like how many people are 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.320 going along with the charade that men could be women, 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.640 women could be men, this whole thing, simply because they 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.920 don't want to be called transphobic. Right. So we we've 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:02.160 created like social media has really just created this really 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:05.640 unique environment that we live in where you know, it's 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.400 almost like a loss of freedom due to societal pressure 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:10.680 of people just not wanting to be outliers in this 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:14.760 insane clown world that we're living in. I think that's right, right, 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.960 And and like I could sit here and have a 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.840 whole podcast to get on my soapbox about how social 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:22.240 media and just twenty four hour meets news and everything 0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:25.160 else is killing us. Uh that you know, our our 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.560 greatness comes from from us, our families, our communities and 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.040 working you know, from the grassroots up, not from all 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.680 of this constant national focus on garbage. But the truth 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.400 is a lot of Americans get that, and they go 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.040 about their life every single day and they've got all 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.760 of these barriers so their ability to go do what's 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:44.760 in the best interest of their families. But they have 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.439 to just get up and march through the day. And 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:50.120 our job as liberty lovers just to go tear those 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.840 barriers down. Um. I get why people were like, Okay, 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.199 I guess I gotta be vaccinated. They don't sit around 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:57.760 looking at all this stuff like I do all day. 0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:59.960 They don't go look at GATA function research and FUCI. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:01.959 They don't go look at you know whatever. They go, well, 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.720 I mean I got a vaccine for polio, and I 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.880 mean I guess it's a great blessing, and then you 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:07.640 know we can do it, and then you know they 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.520 don't think through them. That's why those of us who 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.160 love liberty have a duty and a responsibility to share 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.160 that information. And that is the one upside that we 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.160 have today that we did not have twenty years ago. 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.160 With all of this social media and all of our 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.800 ability to get information out, we're able to expose the 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:25.480 fraud education. For example, COVID lifted the veil on a 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.600 corrupt education system. For the first time, parents got a 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.240 glimpse into what these jokers were doing to their kids. 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:33.920 And now they've got a glimpse into what public health 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:37.200 bureaucrats will do to you when they've got the power 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.840 to do it. And I'm with you. A lot of Americans, 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:41.880 just like sheep, were just like, Okay, sure, jab a 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.839 needle in my arm. But you know what, a lot 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:48.080 of Americans weren't pilots Southwest Airlines pilots and other airlines 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.640 people that were all on canna wait a second, Well 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.760 I don't. You're not sticking a needle in my arm. 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.240 And that's that's a good and uniquely American thing. Saying 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.959 the glasses have full day we love liberty and it's 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:03.920 in our DNA. As Americans, we want that and I 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:07.200 believe that that was exposed through COVID. The Lord works 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.280 in mysterious ways, and we liberty lovers who are leading, 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:13.079 whether it's you guys out there talking about it, those 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.840 of us with election certificates, we have a duty to go, 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.839 you know, highlight those individuals that are holding the line 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.680 for freedom and defend them and defend their ability to 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:25.560 live free. Quick commercial break back with Congressman ship Roy 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:31.440 on the other side. So, I saw this Braper piece 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:35.320 the other day about Biden's I R S spending approximately 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.480 I think it was seven thousand on Ammo between March 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.040 and June one. I believe this is what the bright 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.080 until Brapert, do you know anything about that? Why would 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:47.960 the I R S be spending that kind of cash 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:52.080 on Ammo? So I don't know. Um, you know, that's 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.400 one of those things that on the laundry list of 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.280 things that pop up. I gotta go, you know, I 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.080 told my staff I saw that same thing pop up. Hey, 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:03.480 go to go. Try to figure that out. In broad terms. Uh, 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.680 I will say this, whatever you say about you know, 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:11.320 uh government, when the government is arming itself, which it 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:15.520 does with some regularity right by definition. It always amazes 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:19.920 me when my friends on the left saying, well, you 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:21.680 don't need a second Amendment. How would you ever use 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.360 the Second Amendment against the government that has nukes or 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.360 you know, f twenty twos or tanks. And I was like, 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.000 when you guys are making the point, right, you're making 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.080 the very point about how all you want to do 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:33.920 is allow me to have a peace shooter and a 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.320 you know, single barrel shotgun and somehow be able to 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.840 sort of push back on the power of government. The 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.600 fact that our government is so unbelievably armed at all 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.440 levels from top to bottom. You know, our local police 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.240 are you know that have essentially military tactical uh, you 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:54.000 know supplies, Um, you know, they're very armed. And and 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.880 and the guts and the roots of this country came 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.200 from a people who were armed, who would muster to 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:04.400 go form the military, not a you know, standing army 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.440 that had control and power over the people. Well, I 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.520 just thought, maybe they're just trying to take AMMO out 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.600 of circulation to drive up prices so it's harder for 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:15.680 people to get as they kind of like simultaneously going 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:17.560 you know, yeah, I think that could be. And I 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:20.160 do think that one of the big warriors I have 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:22.440 is AMMO. I think at the end of the day, 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.880 when they want to start really trying to get to it, 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.800 they got to go target AMMO in terms of either 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.720 taxes or terms of you know, limiting the ability to 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.680 to to to have supplies or like you said, buy 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:35.440 up a lot of supplies in order to constrain them. Um, 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.960 there's no question that their goal is to take away 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.480 our guns, our ability to have AMMO, and our ability 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.600 to arm ourselves. They've said it openly. We should believe them. 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:47.840 So I wanted to ask you, like, it's just there's 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.120 a lot of weird stuff going on right now directed 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.720 at children, you know, like, well you you've got like 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:55.920 it just looks like the left is honestly having a 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.800 war on children. You've got abortion obviously the biggest one 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.720 killing children. But you know during COVID, right, they locked 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.800 them down, they forced them in a massed up. You've 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.120 got people like Stacy Abraham's with you know, without mask 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.439 while these little kids are around are being forced to 0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:13.320 be massed up. You've got the left shoving critical race 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:14.880 theory down there. Throw if you're you know, a white 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.679 kid of Hispanic kids, somehow you're being taught you're terrible 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.720 person just based off the color your skin. Uh. And 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.399 and then now they're pushing this gender or dysphoria stuff, right, 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.280 You've you've got transgender groups saying that it's safe to 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:30.320 start puberty blockers at fourteen and sex changes at fifteen. 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:33.040 So my question to you is what's going on here 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.840 when you you sort of look at all that. I 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:38.239 think there's sort of three groups of people that are 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.800 a problem. Um. The first group are leftists to believe 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.520 in population control. Um, They've said this for a long time. 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.320 You know this, I know this. A lot of your 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.800 listeners have this right there. They're open about it, right, 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.560 but they literally believe we should not be able to have, 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.080 you know, either kids at all or should be limited. 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:58.960 They believe in population control. The second are the people 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.240 who believe that kids are essentially wards of the state, 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:06.560 that parents are effectively an interference between the state and 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:10.480 the kid. Right leftist largely, there's a lot who believe that, 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.119 not all, but a lot who really believed that, and 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.680 they believe that they have the state has as much 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.639 or more frankly, of an interest in how a child 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.520 is raised and what they learned than the parents enter 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:23.840 all this stuff about the drag queen stuff and all 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.600 of the you know, trans stuff that's happening at schools. 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.520 The third bucket of people that's a problem are the 0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.560 people that are both Democrats and Republicans frankly, who are 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.600 just sheep who just don't want to be disliked and 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.440 they want everybody to think that they're. Oh, I'm I'm 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:42.679 a nice person and I love everybody, so I'm not 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:45.400 going to complain that little Johnny's getting a drag queen 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.120 show it's at a school or a public library. And 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:51.639 that is the most dangerous group. That is the group 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.400 who is allowing their common sense to get overrun by absolute, 0:18:55.480 --> 0:19:00.480 abject corruption, cultural rot, and stupidity, and they're allowing to happen, 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:04.200 and it's destroying our country, destroying their kids, and destroying 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:06.400 our way of life in the name of quote unquote 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:09.320 love and you know, can't we all just get along. 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:13.399 It's nonsense. That group is the actual dangerous group. They 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.960 should be completely dismissing the first two groups that I 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.880 just talked about. Quick break back with Texas Congressman Chip Roy. 0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:27.920 But it's also like to me, like Biden picks Rachel Levine, 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.320 who I think is the Assistant Health Secretary or whatever 0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:33.600 title or his title is. But you've got this person 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:35.440 who thinks that, like men can be a woman, women 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:37.800 can be men leading or public or in part leader 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.639 or public health. That just sort of shows you, uh, 0:19:41.040 --> 0:19:43.600 you know, how insane of a clown world that we 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:45.280 we live in. But I wanted to ask you. So 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:48.159 we've got Nancy Pelosi is out there saying that, you know, 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.720 drag queens or what America is all abrow. You've got 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.320
