Make sure 0:00:05.880 --> 0:00:08.520 you subscribe on the iHeart app before wherever you get 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:14.120 your podcasts. We go through this cycle over and over again. 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:19.400 There's a mass shooting, and immediately there's an effort to 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.640 try to use this to try to exploit the crisis 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.240 for political points. I can't tell you how many people 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:29.840 I had already just in my own world of social 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:33.239 media and trying to share thoughts and opinions. I was 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:39.120 referring to Governor Christine Nome's transgender bill in South Dakota, 0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:42.560 and I had all these comments about how why won't 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.839 you talk about the quote Trump supporter end quote? They 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.960 would say, who just engaged in a mass shooting? The 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.560 white supremacist Trump supporter that engaged in a mass shooting. 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.160 There was no evidence whatsoever to support that that was 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.360 what happened. There was none when this was being said 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.800 last night, and yet they went with it anyway. They 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:06.160 decided that it was too useful in this moment of 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:10.959 heightened emotions and sense of crisis to bash political opponents 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:16.520 who weren't even talking necessarily about this awful incident, and 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.160 this is what you see people that leverage the Internet 0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.760 for their own power. That you social media as a weapon, 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:29.319 and unfortunately the social media companies themselves are increasingly a 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:34.800 political weapon. They use this to silence those ideas groups, 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.720 those individuals who they view as outside of the mainstream 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:43.440 or somehow opposed to the dominant democrat consensus. But you 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.839 can do something about this. When you anonymize your connection, 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.160 you can serve the Internet freely without wondering who's going 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:51.760 to get a hold of your search history or your 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.760 viewing habits, or what they'll do with that information. Because 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.160 what they have now, who knows what it will be 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.920 in five years, how much more in depth they're going to. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.280 You know, China has a social credit system in place 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.520 that makes determinations about you based upon what you do online, 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.200 what apartment you can rent or house you can buy, 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.320 and all sorts of information down to the very granular. 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.480 We have even better technology here if it's turned against us, 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:21.360 So take technology into your hands to take action against this. 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.240 That's what you can do with express VPN.

What do they 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:25.560 decide must happen? Politicization? We can't even wait for the 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.399 basic facts to come out. We can't even know the 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:32.280 person's name. And already I can tell you last night, 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.720 all over the place, there were charges flying about how 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.200 this must be a white supremacist, it must be a 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:43.240 Trump supporter, maybe it was somebody from the Capitol Hill riot. 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.440 The stuff that was being said and shared, including from 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.960 people who work in media and are supposed to have 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.840 some ethics, supposed to have some standards. Was appalling. And 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.400 now today we find out more information and we can 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.880 see that the people who were wrong or up to conclusions, 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:05.040 they don't care. It doesn't matter. It felt good for 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.800 them in the initial stages to bludgeon their political opponents 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.760 for something that has nothing to do with them. It 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:15.920 was gratifying for leftists to use this tragedy as an 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:21.599 opportunity to push their agenda. And we keep going through this. 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:25.400 It stretches back years. It stretches back to the Obama administration, 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.360 to Sandy Hook, to terrible incidents mass shootings before that, 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:36.440 to Columbined and we come to the same Democrat claims 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:40.640 that are rooted in emotion and demonizing people who are 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.599 lawful gun owners who believe in the Second Amendment to 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:49.920 advance a political agenda. Eventually, they don't win. Usually they 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.080 back off of this issue because people learn that what 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.960 they're recommending would not have prevented the incident at hand, 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.440 and in fact, would do very little, if anything, to 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.839 help anyone when it comes to gun violence. But ultimately, 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.520 this is about the underlying philosophy of Democrats wanting to 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:13.080 disarm you, all of you everyone. They do not believe 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:17.880 that individuals should be able to own weapons in defense 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:22.120 of themselves and as a defense against tyranny from the state. 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.440 They do not believe in it, and everything that they 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.920 say other than that is just incrementalism to that same end, 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:31.880 trying to take guns out of the hands of people 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.359 who are law abiding and who do nothing wrong, not 0:05:35.440 --> 0:05:39.039 only with those fires, nothing wrong in general. But first, 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.440 let's get to the facts as we know them, the 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:47.600 details of this case. This is the Bolder Police Chief 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:54.040 Marius Harold earlier today play nineteen forty pm on Monday, 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.359 regarding the suspect. At approximately to forty pm on Monday 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.640 March twenty second, officers were dispatched to King's Supers on 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.080 Tablemasa Drive. Officers arrived on the scene within minutes and 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:10.960 immediately entered the store and engaged the suspect. There was 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.719 this exchange of gunfire which such Best was shot. No 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.120 other officers were injured. The suspect was taken into custody 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:21.080 at three twenty eight pm. He was transported to the 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:25.800 hospital for treatment. Now in stable condition. This suspect has 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.800 been identified as a mod alyssa twenty one of our Vada. 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:31.960 He has been charged with ten counts of murder in 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.839 the first degree and will should be shortly transported the 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.640 bull to county jail. Ten counts of murder in the 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:44.120 first degree. Is this an act of terror? I saw 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:48.640 people insisting that it was before we knew anything about 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:52.360 the shooter. I saw Democrats leaping on this as an 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.239 opportunity to push an agenda that this is somehow tied 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.920 to Trump everything that is awful. These people are mentally, 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:04.960 absolutely committed to the notion that anything that is awful 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.440 and terrible and bad can be put on Donald Trump. 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.600 He's the ultimate boogeyman, and they won't let it go. 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.920 It has nothing to do with Trump, and no intelligent, 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.840 honest person would say otherwise. But they were. It was 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.040 all over the internet last night, all of the commentariat, 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:25.440 you know, the commentators on the left. That's what they 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:29.960 were saying. That's what they were telling people. And we 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.520 now know that the individual Ahmad, I've seen it said 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:38.760 and spelled two different ways, but his first name is Ahmad. 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.520 There's a good chance that what they're saying is Alyssa. 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.720 May be an alternative spelling, but it's Ahmad al Issa. 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:50.640 We don't know anything about this man, about his mental 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:51.960 health as I speak to you now, and this is 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.440 going to be rapidly evolving and changing. We're going to 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.040 learn about the social media footprint, We're going to learn 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.040 about what his neighbors and friends, and all those things 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.040 are going to come in. But one thing you have 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.560 to understand is that the people that try to exploit 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.160 this before they know anything, who sees upon emotion, who 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:12.880 call the NRA a terrorist organization that was done yesterday, 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.560 who say the NRA should be treated like a crime 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.360 family ordering murders, and the people that say this insane 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:24.120 stuff when the facts actually come out, if the facts 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:29.360 largely or entirely contradict the initial narrative, they're not sorry, 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:34.320 They're not even embarrassed. That's the point. This is about 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:38.239 the exercise of raw power. This is about exploiting emotions. 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:43.000 This is about getting people angry at the other so 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:45.800 that you can get the angry people to do and 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:50.439 believe what you want them to the same way I've 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.120 told people that you have to have a different, a 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.800 different understanding of hypocrisy. The Left does not care about 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.679 being hypocritical when they have power, or they use it 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:04.480 when they can enforce different standards, they will, just like 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:11.480 all autocrats, just like all dictatorial regimes. They don't shy 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.240 away from this. They don't view it as a problem. 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.080 They don't care. They just do it because they can, 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.280 because they get away with it. The same thing is 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:21.760 true about the immediate exploitation of a mass shooting like this. 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.840 They view it as an opportunity for a political agenda 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:31.880 and also to exercise some of their disdain for the 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:38.880 other side, use it as an excuse to scream abuse 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.280 at people who they disagree with politically on other things 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.280 that have nothing to do with the actual shooting itself. 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.280 So they're not sorry about this. They don't view this 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.960 as a moment where they should be more honest or 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:56.640 they should do some introspection. No, when a MSNBC watching 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.480 New York Times reading lib screams that you will online 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:05.400 and says, see another white supremacist Trump supporter shot up 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.960 a bunch of people in Boulder, Colorado, and there's no 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:14.240 evidence to support that, and we don't have any reasonable 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.080 connection between between these things based on the facts at hand. 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.760 And then even when they're proven to be untrue, they 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:27.520 don't care because they enjoyed disparaging you. They enjoyed that 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.240 those moments in time when they felt really righteous, really virtuous, 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:36.760 for trashing you, for trashing the millions and millions of 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:42.000 Americans who own firearms legally across the country and who 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.120 are a bulwark against tyranny and let me say, a 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:50.440 tyranny from the government that we increasingly should take very seriously. Okay, 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:54.120 freedom is at the lowest ebb in this country in 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:58.720 my lifetime. That's a fact, worse than it was after 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:00.760 nine to eleven with some of the old overreaches and 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.600 some of the you know, the government actions there, at 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.560 least domestically, I'm talking about internally, the worst place freedom 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.320 has been in my lifetime. So that's going on forty years, 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:16.080 and the Democrats are set on doing everything that can 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.360 while they can to make sure that you do not 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:24.120 have the right to bear arms. They're going as far 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:25.920 on this as they possibly can, as far as they 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.520 can get away with it. This is why I get 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.520 so frustrated, because the people that have been that spent 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:38.280 four years calling for a need for greater honesty from 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.760 let's say, Donald Trump, they come into office, the Biden administration. 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:47.040 It's just lies all over the place, constantly lying to you, 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:51.240 lying about their intentions, lying about the numbers at the border. Oh, 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.640 we'll get into that, lying about a lot of things, 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:58.640 things that matter to you, Okay. Not not lying about 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:02.200 a crowd size or the size of one's hands, or 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:03.760 lying of you know, all the things that they were 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:07.040 they were completely apoplectic about in the media when Trump 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:12.160 was president. Not lying about irrelevancies, not lying about uh, 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:17.119 you know, personal peccadillos or whatever. No lying about policy 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.120 in ways that affect your life. This is central to 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:24.320 what the Democrats do. It's central to their whole approach. 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.880 And we go through this and I heard Senator Ted 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.440 Cruz talking about it the same thing every time. The 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.720 n RA is a terrorist organization. You know. They trot 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.360 out some some victims of other shootings or people who 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:40.680 were near victims of other shootings, you know, hog and others, 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:43.960 and they try to get somebody deep platform who defends 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.760 a Second Amendment. They try to scare some Republican members 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:49.920 of Congress into abandoning the Second Amendment. And this is 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:56.200 the push pull every time. Doesn't matter that the policies 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.640 they proposed wouldn't actually make anyone safe or doesn't matter. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.360 It's about control and about them getting their way. Deal 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.319 with it. That's what they really think here, Senator chat 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.439 Cruise talking about exactly this play twenty one, and every 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:12.480 time there's a shooting, we play this ridiculous theater where 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:17.520 this committee gets together and proposes a bunch of laws 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.400 that would do nothing to stop these murders. Senator from 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.320 Connecticut just said the folks on the other side of 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.880 the aisle have no solutions, while the Senator from Connecticut 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.520 knows that is false, and he knows that's false because 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.840 Senator Grassley and I together introduce legislation Grassley Cruse targeted 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:38.760 at violent criminals, targeted at felon's, targeted at fugitives, targeted 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:43.480 at those with serious mental disease, to stop them from 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.040 getting firearms, to put them in prison when they try 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.319 to illegally buy guns. What happens in this committee after 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.679 every mass shooting is Democrats proposed taking away guns from 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:57.200 law abiding citizens because that's their political objective. But what 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.160 they propose not only does it not reduce crime, it 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:07.040 makes it worse. It makes it worse. Here's another point 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.360 I want to make for all of you. A lot 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:13.800 of them know that, and they don't care. This is 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:18.200 about control, this is about power. People are upset, they're scared, 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:24.360 they're emotional. Democrats see those things, They recognize those realities, 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.880 and it's an opportunity for them. You know, in the 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:31.280 Congresses you mentioned the House of Representatives last week, for 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:36.480 the second time, we've passed two important initial pieces on 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:41.200 gun violence prevention. The problem is in the Senate, even 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:45.120 with the majority, a slim majority, because of the filibuster, 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.320 it's going to be very, very difficult to get anything done. 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.920 You know, the filibuster to many of us is a 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:56.960 tool and instrument for government gridlock. And we need action 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:58.920 and we need it right away. So what are you 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.480 calling for today, Well, we need to do away with 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.600 the filibuster. You know that. What's what's we're seeing happening 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:09.560 in America is Republicans in the Senate are more interested 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:16.440 in eroding voting laws and increasing gun rights when you know, 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.800 it really should be the other way around. We need 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:23.240 to look at making sure that we have safe communities 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.640 and that people aren't afraid and terrified of going to 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.520 the grocery store or going to a school. And the 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:34.200 majority of Americans support common sense gun violence prevention legislation. 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.840 But we can't get anything done in the Senate because 0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.920 a majority doesn't rule. It's the filibuster that rules. Oh 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:44.760 look at that. It's so convenient, isn't it. You know, 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:46.720 the Democrats want to get rid of the filibuster. They 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.720 want to steamroll the Republicans. They're looking for any opportunity 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:54.800 to do this, and sure enough, this mass shooting in Boulder, 0:15:54.840 --> 0:16:00.760 Colorado is yet another another excuse, another attempt to dramatically 0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.960 change the way the United States Senate operates. Remember they 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:10.400 use the filibuster against Republicans on the Trump administration. Then 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.240 it was fine, then it was important. It was the system, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:17.760 you see, it was our sacred institutions. What do I 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:23.480 keep telling you? This is about the raw exercise of power. Right. 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.520 When I am weak, I ask for freedom because it 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:27.840 is according to your principles. When I am strong, I 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:32.520 demand obedience because it is according to my principles. That's 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:36.480 how the Democrats do politics all the time. So this 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.520 notion that there are rules that we can expect them 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.680 to abide by if they can get away with breaking them. 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.480 There are principles that we share with them that they 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:49.000 won't abandon it the first sign of it being inconvenient, 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:53.680 You won't. You might want to drop that entirely. They 0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.560 just don't have the ability to do some of these things. 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:01.160 That's what stops them. They don't have the actual raw power. 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.600 They know that the backlash would be too much for them. 0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.920 But here we are at Think of all the reasons 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:09.640 they've given so far, and I'm talking about members of Congress, 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.320 those who are involved in the process. Think of all 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.480 the different ways that they've said to us, we need 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:18.160 to get rid of the filibuster. They've said it's because 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:23.480 in favor of HR one, for changing elections dramatically federalizing 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:27.879 elections and getting rid of essentially all elections. Safeguards DC statehood. 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.480 That's another big one. We got to get to DC statehood. 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.600 They get rid of the filibuster for amnesty. Of course, 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:38.399 that's I think the most likely place they'll do it anassy. Now, 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:41.080 let's get rid of the filibuster for gun control. Anything 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:45.320 Democrats want to do, you'll notice, is a justification for 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.119 getting rid of the filibuster. If Republicans won't go along. 0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.639 What was one of the favorite lines of Obama for 0:17:51.680 --> 0:17:56.359 his eight years as president. The Republicans are obstructing, which 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:58.760 was just a fancy way of saying Republicans won't do 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:03.480 what I say, and that's bad. No, you can disagree, 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:07.119 you can try to persuade. But the other political party 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:13.760 not just not just conceding, not just deciding that they 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:18.280 no longer stand for anything. That's not the expectation that 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.240 anyone should have in this country. But this is where 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:26.480 we are. But understand this too. The emotionally driven Democrat 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:29.439 Party is going to use the emotions of this moment 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.719 where people are very upsets, very saddening. I know, the 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.159 police officer was killed in the Boulder shooting at the 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.600 grocery store, and you know he had seven kids. You 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:44.600 had nine other people just going to get groceries killed, 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.800 two in the parking lot, eight inside. It's horrible. It's 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:54.199 absolutely terrible. And yet instead of seeing this for what 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:58.320 it is and waiting to learn whether there even is 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:00.840 a law that you could pass. I mean, it's illegal 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:02.680 to murder people. It's illegal to go into a store 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.160 with a gun. It's illegal. There's a lot of things 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:08.879 that I'm sure we're illegal here. But the impulse to 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:15.000 pass a law. From the authoritarian democrat mindset isn't really 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.159 so much to protect us, it's to add to their 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:20.399 own power, because they're smart enough to figure out this 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:24.880 isn't actually the laws. They talk about a background check system, 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:27.320 for example, that's what they say now here. Here's the 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.600 Colorado AG. Colorado unfortunately has a lot of very left 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:37.280 wing people in high office. Play five. We and Colorado 0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:40.119 have a background check law. But if people go to 0:19:40.160 --> 0:19:42.680 surrounding states, they can get a weapon without having a 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:46.560 background check. That is a common sense measure that's supported 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.920 by overwhelming majorities. The fact that we didn't get such 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:54.480 a law after prior mass shootings is hard to understand. 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.040 We need a federal law. I know that our members 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:00.119 of Commerce from Colorado have run on this issue, are 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.800 committed to this issue. We need a national background check 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.679 law because otherwise people can go to surrounding states and 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.160 get a weapon without having to go through a background check. 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:12.240 Which makes sense, get a weapon without having to go 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.200 through a background check. They really want to pass this 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:18.160 national background check law, universal background checks, which would mean 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.280 that for any private transfer, you would have to go 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:26.440 to a federal, federal, federally licensed dealer would also mean 0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:28.320 in some versions of the bill that even if you 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.680 were to lend a shotgun, let's say, to a friend 0:20:30.720 --> 0:20:33.159 to go hunting for the weekend, you got to you 0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:35.520 got to go to a licensed firearms dealer first to 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.560 run the background check system. Who thinks this is really 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:42.879 going to stop crime? Somebody who wants to be a 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:46.040 mass murderer or a mass shooter, first of all, a 0:20:46.040 --> 0:20:47.880 lot of the time they would pass a background check, 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:49.520 which we know has also happens that kind of all, 0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.200 they're willing to either steal or illegally get a firearm, 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.600 and it's not hard to do with over three hundred 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:58.680 million firearms in circulation already in the United States. Not difficult. 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:04.560 So what is really do Ninety nine point nine percent 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:09.040 of people are just going to be you know who 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:12.960 go through this changed bill situation, are just going to 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:17.440 be harassed. Doesn't stop anyone who's bad from doing anything bad. Well, 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:20.560 remember that what happened was that President Trump spent four 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:25.760 years dismantling the process in presidents or President Trump spent 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:31.040 four years dismantling the peaceful, orderly process of allowing people 0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:34.439 to apply for asylum. For example, he cut funding to 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:38.160 the Northern Triangle countries. Here he cut funding and shut 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.440 down offices where immigrants could actually apply for asylum and 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:44.520 their home countries without coming to the border. And so, 0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:47.080 you know, I'm very confident that President Biden is doing 0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:49.760 everything that he can. But frankly, he's cleaning up a 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.639 mess that was left here there by President Trump and 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:58.960 his systematic and inhumane attacks on the immigration system. Blah 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:03.840 blah blah. Just a bunch of nonsense, Just a bunch 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:06.960 of nonsense, Senator Duckworth. There are many many others who 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:12.040 were saying the same stuff. This is babbel. Okay, we 0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:14.680 all know what's happening here, but they're just trying. They're 0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:18.040 trying to convince you that the southern border, which is 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.640 in crisis, which is looking like it's going to have 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:25.199 more illegal migrants crossing than what you had in the 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:29.520 during the Obama crisis and the Trump crisis combined, the 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:31.520 worst the border has been in twenty years, according to 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:34.840 people I know who devote their lives to immigration issues 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:39.399 and trying to secure our border. And they're telling you 0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:42.360 that this is Trump's fault because he dismantled the orderly process. 0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:48.199 It wasn't an orderly process. Senator Duckworth trying to debate this, 0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:50.640 I would love you, you know what, let's we'll put 0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:52.000 it out there. She can come on the show. We 0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:54.359 can debate this how orderly the process was. I was 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:57.119 down there at the border. I saw how orderly the 0:22:57.160 --> 0:23:02.399 asylum process was. It was dozens, if not hundreds of 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:05.520 people at a time showing up, waving down border patrol 0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:09.240 and then gaming the system and staying in the country 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:11.959 and not showing up for immigration hearings. And even if 0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:14.120 they do show up, they probably get to stay anyway. 0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:16.679 All you have to do is get into the country. 0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:20.040 That's the whole game. Get out of custody, get into 0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:22.960 the country, and you're home free. We know it, we've 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:26.040 been through it, we've seen it. But they pretend this 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:30.720 system was working well before. That's the part of this 0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:34.959 that to me is just it's so obviously false. But 0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:37.480 they don't care. I know, not everyone gets to spend, 0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:40.040 you know, or should spend. And I don't recommend this. 0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:42.800 Hours and hours a day reading all this stuff. I 0:23:42.880 --> 0:23:45.439 have to do that. That's my job. So when I 0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:48.160 see this, it's amazing to me because in my head 0:23:48.200 --> 0:23:51.879 I'm thinking, nobody who understands what has been happening at 0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:55.600 the southern border for the last ten years, never mind 0:23:55.720 --> 0:24:00.040 the last three or four years, would ever say that 0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:04.320 that it was an orderly process that Trump destroyed. That's 0:24:04.320 --> 0:24:07.960 a laughably stupid statement. I mean, it really screams ignorance 0:24:07.960 --> 0:24:09.920 of what's going on. But it's actually worse than ignorance, 0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:14.840 because I think it's it's malicious, it's lies. She's lying 0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:18.159 to you about this, or rather giving you an assessment 0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:22.520 of the situation that is so fundamentally flawed that the 0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:27.200 best you can say for it is she is doing 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:31.200 this on purpose for political reasons. Protecting good old Joe 0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:34.400 Biden is what this is really all about. We're two 0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:37.159 months into the presidency, and what do you get. Open 0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:43.760 borders Joe right away, Open borders Joe. They can do 0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.080 whatever they want, they can say whatever they want about this, 0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:48.679 to try to confuse things, to try to make you 0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:53.600 think that that's not what's really going on. Joe Biden 0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:57.800
