He may read it on the show. 0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:15.520 We go through this cycle over and over again. There 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:19.919 was a mass shooting, and immediately there's an effort to 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.160 try to use this to try to exploit the crisis 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:25.760 for political points. I can't tell you how many people 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:30.360 I had already just in my own world of social 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.760 media and trying to share thoughts and opinions. I was 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:39.680 referring to Governor Christine Nomes transgender bill in South Dakota, 0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.080 and I had all these comments about how why won't 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:46.360 you talk about the quote Trump supporter? End quote? They 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:49.479 would say, who just engaged in a mass shooting? The 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.080 white supremacist Trump supporter that engaged in a mass shooting. 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.680 There was no evidence whatsoever to support that that was 0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.880 what happened. There was none when this was being said 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:03.320 last night, and yet they went with it anyway. They 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.640 decided that it was too useful in this moment of 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:11.440 heightened emotions and sense of crisis to bash political opponents 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:17.039 who weren't even talking necessarily about this awful incident. And 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:21.680 this is what you see people that leverage the Internet 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.240 for their own power. That you social media as a weapon, 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.840 and unfortunately the social media companies themselves are increasingly a 0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:35.280 political weapon. They use this to silence those ideas groups, 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:39.240 those individuals who they view as outside of the mainstream 0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:43.960 or somehow opposed to the dominant democrat consensus. But you 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.360 can do something about this.

Because 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.680 what they have now, who knows what it will be 0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.600 in five years, how much more they're going to go. 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.800 You know, China has a social credit system in place 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:07.040 that makes determinations about you based upon what you do online, 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.799 what apartment you can rent or house you can buy, 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.840 and all sorts of information down to the very granular. 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.960 We have even better technology here if it's turned against us, 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:21.880 So take technology into your hands to take action against this. 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.760 That's what you can do with Express VPN.

What do they 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:26.080 decide must happen? Politicization? We can't even wait for the 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.919 basic facts to come out. We can't even know the 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.799 person's name. And already I can tell you last night, 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:37.240 all over the place, there were charges flying about how 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.720 this must be a white supremacist, it must be a 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.760 Trump supporter. Maybe it was somebody from the Capitol Hill riot. 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.000 The stuff that was being said and shared, including from 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.480 people who work in media and are supposed to have 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:55.360 some ethics supposed to have some standards. Was appalling. And 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.920 now today we find out more information and we can 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.360 see that the people who were or jump to conclusions, 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.560 they don't care. It doesn't matter. It felt good for 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.320 them in the initial stages to bludgeon their political opponents 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.280 for something that has nothing to do with them. It 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:16.480 was gratifying for leftists to use this tragedy as an 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:22.120 opportunity to push their agenda. And we keep going through this. 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.919 It stretches back years. It stretches back to the Obama administration, 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.880 to Sandy Hook, to terrible incidents mass shootings before that, 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:36.960 to Columbined and we come to the same Democrat claims 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:41.160 that are rooted in emotion and demonizing people who are 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.120 lawful gun owners who believe in the Second Amendment to 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:50.440 advance a political agenda. Eventually, they don't win. Usually they 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.599 back off of this issue because people learn that what 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.480 they're recommending would not have prevented the incident at hand, 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.080 and in fact, would do very little, if anything, to 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:04.360 help anyone when it comes to gun violence. But ultimately, 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:08.040 this is about the underlying philosophy of Democrats wanting to 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:13.600 disarm you, all of you everyone. They do not believe 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:18.400 that individuals should be able to own weapons in defense 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:22.640 of themselves and as a defense against tyranny from the state. 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.960 They do not believe in it, and everything that they 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:30.440 say other than that is just incrementalism to that same end, 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.400 trying to take guns out of the hands of people 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:35.920 who are law abiding and who do nothing wrong, not 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:39.560 only with those fires, nothing wrong in general. But first 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.960 let's get to the facts as we know them, the 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:48.120 details of this case. This is the Bolder police Chief 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:54.560 Maris Harold earlier today play nineteen forty pm on Monday, 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.720 regarding the suspect. At approximately to forty pm on Monday 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:04.239 March twenty, officers were dispatched to King's Supers on Tablemasa Drive. 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.920 Officers arrived on the scene within minutes and immediately entered 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:12.360 the store and engaged the suspect. There was this exchange 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:16.080 of gunfire which such best was shot. No other officers 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.960 were injured. The suspect was taken into custody at three 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.640 twenty eight pm. He was transported to the hospital for treatment. 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:27.279 Now in stable condition. This suspect has been identified as 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.920 a mod ALYSSA twenty one of our Vada. He has 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.880 been charged with ten counts of murder in the first 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.320 degree and will be shortly transported the bull to County jail. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.400 Ten counts of murder in the first degree. Is this 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:47.520 an act of terror? I saw people insisting that it 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.120 was before we knew anything about the shooter. I saw 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.920 Democrats leaping on this as an opportunity to push an 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:57.039 agenda that this is somehow tied to Trump everything that 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:03.800 is awful. These people are mentally, absolutely committed to the 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.440 notion that anything that is awful and terrible and bad 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.600 can be put on Donald Trump. He's the ultimate boogeyman, 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.880 and they won't let it go. It has nothing to 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.880 do with Trump, and no intelligent, honest person would say otherwise. 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.800 But they were It's all over the internet last night, 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:24.480 all of the commentariat, you know, the commentators on the left. 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.560 That's what they were saying. That's what they were telling people. 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:34.080 And we now know that the individual Ahmad, I've seen 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:38.400 it said and spelled two different ways, but his first 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:40.840 name is Ahmad. There's a good chance that what they're 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.760 saying is Alyssa may be an alternative spelling, but it's 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:49.280 Ahmad al Issa. We don't know anything about this man 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.160 about his mental health as I speak to you now, 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.360 and this is going to be rapidly evolving and changing. 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.320 We're gonna learn about the social media footprint, We're gonna 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.320 learn about what his neighbors and friends and all those 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.440 things are going to I'm in. But one thing you 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.560 have to understand is that the people that try to 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.240 exploit this before they know anything, who sees upon emotion, 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:13.440 who call the NRA a terrorist organization that was done yesterday, 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.080 who say the NRA should be treated like a crime 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.840 family ordering murders, and the people that say this insane 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.640 stuff when the facts actually come out, if the facts 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:29.880 largely or entirely contradict the initial narrative, They're not sorry, 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:34.760 They're not even embarrassed. That's the point. This is about 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.760 the exercise of raw power. This is about exploiting emotions. 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:43.480 This is about getting people angry at the other so 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.319 that you can get the angry people to do and 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:50.719 believe what you want them to the same way I've 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.640 told people that you have to have a different a 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:58.280 different understanding of hypocrisy. The left does not care about 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:01.920 being hypocritical. They have power. They use it when they 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:06.040 can enforce different standards, they will just like all autocrats, 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:12.600 just like all dictatorial regimes, they don't shy away from this. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.280 They don't view it as a problem. They don't care. 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.200 They just do it because they can, because they get 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.920 away with it. The same thing is true about the 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:24.160 immediate exploitation of a mass shooting like this. They view 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:28.479 it as an opportunity for a political agenda and also 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:33.120 to exercise some of their disdain for the other side, 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:40.000 use it as an excuse to scream abuse at people 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.080 who they disagree with politically on other things that have 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.560 nothing to do with the actual shooting itself. So they're 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:49.920 not sorry about this. They don't view this as a 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.840 moment where they should be more honest or they should 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:58.000 do some introspection. No, when a MSNBC watching New York 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:02.960 Times reading lib screams at you online and says, see 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.360 another white supremacist Trump supporter shot up a bunch of 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:10.560 people in Boulder, Colorado, and there's no evidence to support that, 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:16.959 and we don't have any reasonable connection between between these 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.760 things based on the facts at hand. And then even 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.400 when they're proven to be untrue, they don't care because 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:28.960 they enjoyed disparaging you. They enjoyed that those moments in 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:33.280 time when they felt really righteous, really virtuous for trashing you, 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:38.440 for trashing the millions and millions of Americans who own 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:43.880 firearms legally across the country and who are a bulwark 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.440 against tyranny and let me say, a tyranny from the 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:51.400 government that we increasingly should take very seriously. Okay, freedom 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:56.239 is at the lowest ebb in this country in my lifetime. 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.839 That's a fact, worse than it was after nine eleven. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.720 Some of the overreaches and some of the you know, 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.040 the government actions there, at least domestically, I'm talking about internally, 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.400 the worst place freedom has been in my lifetime. So 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:14.480 that's going on forty years, and the Democrats are set 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:18.280 on doing everything that can while they can to make 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.959 sure that you do not have the right to bear arms. 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:25.800 They're going as far on this as they possibly can, 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.840 as far as they can get away with it. This 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:32.760 is why I get so frustrated, because the people that 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.360 have been that spent four years calling for a need 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:41.520 for greater honesty from let's say, Donald Trump, they come 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:45.080 into office, the Biden administration, it's just lies all over 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:49.839 the place, constantly lying to you, lying about their intentions. 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:52.080 Lying about the numbers at the border. Oh, we'll get 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.480 into that. Lying about a lot of things, things that 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.679 matter to you, okay. Not not lying about a crowd 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.079 eyes or the size of one's hands, or lying of 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:04.760 you know, all the things that they were they were 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:08.120 completely apoplectic about in the media when Trump was president. 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:13.800 Not lying about irrelevancies, not lying about you know, personal 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:18.480 peccadillos or whatever. No lying about policy in ways that 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:21.800 affect your life. This is central to what the Democrats do. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:27.240 It's central to their whole approach. And we go through this, 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.360 and I heard that Senator Ted Cruz talking about it 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:32.439 the same thing every time. The n RA is a 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:35.559 terrorist organization. You know, they trot out some some victims 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.200 of other shootings or people who were near victims of 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:42.440 other shootings, you know, hog and others, and they try 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.240 to get somebody deep platform who defends a Second Amendment. 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.080 They try to scare some Republican members of Congress into 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.720 abandoning the Second Amendment. And this is the push pull 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:57.600 every time. Doesn't matter that the policies they proposed wouldn't 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.960 actually make anyone safe or doesn't matter. It's about control 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.400 and about them getting their way deal with it. That's 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:06.600 what they really think here, Senator chat Cruise talking about 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.480 exactly at this play twenty one and every time there's 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:13.640 a shooting, we play this ridiculous theater where this committee 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:18.440 gets together and proposes a bunch of laws that would 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:22.600 do nothing to stop these murders. Senator from Connecticut just 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.199 said the folks on the other side of the aisle 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.679 have no solutions. While the Senator from Connecticut knows that 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.840 is false, and he knows that's false because Senator Grassley 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:36.640 and I together introduce legislation Grassley Cruse targeted at violent criminals, 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:40.440 targeted at felon's, targeted at fugitives, targeted at those with 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.920 serious mental disease, to stop them from getting firearms, to 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.760 put them in prison when they try to illegally buy guns. 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.880 What happens in this committee after every mass shooting is 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:55.000 Democrats proposed taking away guns from law abiding citizens because 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.880 that's their political objective. But what they propose not only 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:04.120 does it not reduce, it makes it worse. It makes 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:08.440 it worse. Here's another point I want to make for 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.480 all of you. A lot of them know that, and 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:16.480 they don't care. This is about control, This is about power. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:21.880 People are upset, they're scared, they're emotional. Democrats see those things, 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:26.880 They recognize those realities, and it's an opportunity for them. 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.960 You know, in the Congresses you mentioned the House of 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:34.320 Representatives last week, for the second time, we've passed two 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:40.360 important initial pieces on gun violence prevention. The problem is 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.720 in the Senate, even with the majority, a slim majority, 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.200 because of the filibuster, it's going to be very, very 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:50.120 difficult to get anything done. You know, the filibuster to 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:55.000 many of us is a tool and instrument for government gridlock. 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.600 And we need action, and we need it right away. 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.360 So what are you calling for today, Well, we need 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.760 to do away with the filibuster. You know that. What's 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:08.120 what's what we're seeing happening in America is Republicans in 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:13.200 the Senate are more interested in eroding voting laws and 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.840 increasing gun rights when you know, it really should be 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.800 the other way around. We need to look at making 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.960 sure that we have safe communities and that people aren't 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.200 afraid and terrified of going to the grocery store or 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:31.640 going to a school. And the majority of Americans support 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:36.600 common sense gun violence prevention legislation. But we can't get 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.920 anything done in the Senate because a majority doesn't rule. 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.160 It's the filibuster that rules. Oh look at that. It's 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:46.080 so convenient, isn't it. You know, the Democrats want to 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.680 get rid of the filibuster. They want to steamroll the Republicans. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:53.000 They're looking for any opportunity to do this, and sure enough, 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:58.720 this mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado is yet another another excuse, 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:04.120 another attempt to dramatically change the way the United States 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:08.840 Senate operates. Remember they use the filibuster against Republicans on 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.840 the Trump administration. Then it was fine, then it was important. 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.479 It was the system, you see, it was our sacred institutions. 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.560 What do I keep telling you? This is about the 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:24.800 raw exercise of power. Right, when I am weak, I 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.200 ask for freedom because it is according to your principles. 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.040 When I am strong, I demand obedience because it is 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:34.880 according to my principles. That's how the Democrats do politics 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.720 all the time. So this notion that there are rules 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.520 that we can expect them to abide by if they 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.880 can get away with breaking them, there are principles that 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:46.760 we share with them that they won't abandon it. The 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:50.840 first sign of it being inconvenient, You won't you might 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:54.880 want to drop that entirely. They just don't have the 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.000 ability to do some of these things. That's what stops them. 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.240 They don't have the actual raw power. They know that 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:05.080 the backlash would be too much for them. But here 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.920 we are at Think of all the reasons they've given 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.880 so far, and I'm talking about members of Congress, those 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:12.879 who are involved in the process. Think of all the 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.000 different ways that they've said to us, we need to 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:19.679 get rid of the filibuster. They've said it's because in 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:24.360 favor of HR one, for changing elections dramatically federalizing elections 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.320 and getting rid of essentially all elections. Safeguards DC statehood. 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:30.960 That's another big one. We got to get to DC statehood. 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:35.040 They get rid of the filibuster for amnesty. Of course, 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:38.840 that's I think the most likely place they'll do it. Ambassy. Now, 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.520 let's get rid of the filibuster for gun control. Anything 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:45.720 Democrats want to do, you'll notice, is a justification for 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.560 getting rid of the filibuster if Republicans won't go along. 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:52.080 What was one of the favorite lines of Obama for 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:56.800 his eight years as president, The Republicans are obstructing which 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.200 was just a fancy way of saying Republicans won't do 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:03.919 what I say, and that's bad. No, you can disagree, 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.560 you can try to persuade, but the other political party 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:14.200 not just not just conceding, not just deciding that they 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:18.720 no longer stand for anything. That's not the expectation that 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:20.720 anyone should have in this country. But this is where 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:26.919 we are. But understand this too. The emotionally driven Democrat 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.879 party is going to use the emotions of this moment 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.159 where people are very upsets, very saddening. I know, the 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.639 police officer was killed in the Boulder shooting at the 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:42.040 grocery store, and you know he had seven kids. You 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.080 had nine other people just going to get groceries killed, 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.080 two in the parking lot, eight inside. It's it's horrible, 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:54.480 it's absolutely terrible. And yet instead of seeing this for 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:58.320 what it is and waiting to learn whether there even 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:00.920 is a law that you could pass. I mean, it's 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:02.879 illegal to murder people, it's illegal to go into a 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:05.359 store with a gun, it's illegal. There's a lot of 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:09.240 things that I'm sure we're illegal here. But the impulse 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:15.160 to pass a law from the authoritarian Democrat mindset isn't 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.439 really so much to protect us. It's to add to 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:20.719 their own power, because they're smart enough to figure out 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:23.840 this isn't actually the laws. They talk about a background 0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:27.480 check system, for example, that's what they say now here. 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.159 Here's the Colorado AG. Colorado unfortunately has a lot of 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:36.919 very left wing people in high office. Play five. We 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.359 in Colorado have a background check law, but if people 0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:42.840 go to surrounding states, they can get a weapon without 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.879 having a background check. That is a common sense measure 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:49.840 that's supported by overwhelming majorities. The fact that we didn't 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:54.080 get such a law after prior mass shootings is hard 0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:56.679 to understand. We need a federal law. I know that 0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:00.399 our members of Commerce from Colorado have run on this issue, 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:03.000 are committed to this issue. We need a national background 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.040 check law because otherwise people can go to surrounding states 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:08.000 and get a weapon without having to go through a 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:12.520 background check. Which makes sense, get a weapon without having 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:14.359 to go through a background check. They really want to 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:18.240 pass this national background check law universal background checks, which 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.359 would mean that for any private transfer you would have 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:25.560 to go to a federal a federal federally licensed dealer. 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.359 Would also mean in some versions of the bill that 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:30.760 even if you were to lend a shotgun, let's say, 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:32.240 to a friend to go hunt it for the weekend, 0:20:32.480 --> 0:20:34.840 you got to you got to go to a licensed 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:39.320 firearms dealer first to run the background check system. Who 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.480 thinks this is really going to stop crime? Somebody who 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:45.280 wants to be a mass murderer or a mass shooter, 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:47.320 First of all, a lot of the time they would 0:20:47.359 --> 0:20:49.520 pass a background check, which we know has also happens 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:51.359 that kind of all, they're willing to either steal or 0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:53.800 illegally get a firearm. And it's not hard to do 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.720 with over three hundred million firearms in circulation already in 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.879 the United States. Not difficult. So what does this really do? 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:08.600 Ninety nine percent of people are just going to be 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:13.040 you know who go through this changed bill situation, are 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.960 just going to be harassed. Doesn't stop anyone who's bad 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.520 from doing anything bad. Well, remember that what happened was 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:24.439 that President Trump spent four years dismantling the process in 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:28.359 presidents or President Trump spent four years dismantling the peaceful, 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:33.400 orderly process of allowing people to apply for asylum. For example, 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:37.000 he cut funding to the Northern Triangle countries. Here, he 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:40.840 cut funding and shut down offices where immigrants could actually 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:43.359 apply for asylum and their home countries without coming to 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:46.399 the border. And so, you know, I'm very confident that 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:49.159 President Biden is doing everything that he can. But frankly, 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.840 he's cleaning up a mess that was left here there 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:56.520 by President Trump and his systematic and inhumane attacks on 0:21:56.560 --> 0:22:01.639 the immigration system. Blah blah blah. Just a bunch of nonsense, 0:22:03.320 --> 0:22:06.760 Just a bunch of nonsense, Senator Duckworth. There are many 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:12.200 many others who were saying the same stuff. This is babel, Okay, 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:14.560 we all know what's happening here, but they're just trying 0:22:14.800 --> 0:22:18.320 they're trying to convince you that the southern border, which 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.840 is in crisis, which is looking like it's going to 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:25.479 have more illegal migrants crossing than what you had in 0:22:25.520 --> 0:22:28.600 the during the Obama crisis and the Trump crisis combined, 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:31.800 the worst the border has been in twenty years, according 0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:34.719 to people I know who devote their lives to immigration 0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:39.639 issues and trying to secure our border. And they're telling 0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:41.840 you that this is Trump's fault because he dismantled the 0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:48.080 orderly process. It wasn't an orderly process. Senator Duckworth, trying 0:22:48.080 --> 0:22:49.879 to debate this. I would love you. You know what, 0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:51.879 Let's let we'll put it out there. She can come 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:53.919 on the show. We can debate this. How orderly the 0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:55.720 process was. I was down there at the border. I 0:22:55.760 --> 0:23:01.800 saw how orderly the asylum process was. It was dozens, 0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:04.360 if not hundreds of people at a time showing up, 0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:08.439 waving down border patrol and then gaming the system and 0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:11.560 staying in the country and not showing up for immigration hearings. 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:13.720 And even if they do show up, they probably get 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:16.440 to stay anyway. All you have to do is get 0:23:16.440 --> 0:23:19.920 into the country. That's the whole game. Get out of custody, 0:23:20.000 --> 0:23:23.119 get into the country, and you're home free. We know it, 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:26.320 we've been through it, we've seen it. But they pretend 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:31.040 this system was working well before. That's the part of 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:35.200 this that to me is just it's so obviously false. 0:23:35.240 --> 0:23:37.880 But they don't care. I know, not everyone gets to spend, 0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:40.439 you know, or should spend. And I don't recommend this. 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.199 Hours and hours a day reading all this stuff. I 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:45.840 have to do that. That's my job. So when I 0:23:45.880 --> 0:23:48.600 see this, it's amazing to me because in my head 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:52.280 I'm thinking, nobody who understands what has been happening at 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:56.000 the southern border for the last ten years, never mind 0:23:56.119 --> 0:24:00.119 the last three or four years. Would ever say that 0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:04.840 it was an orderly process that Trump destroyed. That's a 0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:08.439 laughably stupid statement. I mean, it really screams ignorance of 0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:11.520 what's going on. But it's actually worse than ignorance, because 0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:15.320 I think it's it's malicious. It's lies. She's lying to 0:24:15.320 --> 0:24:18.639 you about this, or rather giving you an assessment of 0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:23.200 the situation that is so fundamentally flawed that the best 0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:27.760 you can say for it is she is doing this 0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:32.080 on purpose for political reasons. Protecting good old Joe Biden 0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.000 is what this is really all about. We're two months 0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:38.080 into the presidency, and what do you get. Open borders 0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:44.600 Joe right away. Open borders Joe. They can do whatever 0:24:44.640 --> 0:24:46.480 they want, They can say whatever they want about this, 0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:49.080 to try to confuse things, to try to make you 0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:54.000 think that that's not what's really going on. Joe Biden 0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:58.199 is the cause of this crisis. And to say that 0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:00.920
