The Duke of Edinburgh, who had been married to the Queen for 73 years and described as her constant strength, passed away peacefully at Windsor Castle this morning, the Royal Family announced via a tweet. He was 99 years old, two months short of what would have been his 100th birthday, and had been in ill health for at least a couple of years. His death is being mourned by the royal family and people around the world, including Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Prime Minister Theresa May, and Queen Elizabeth II, who paid tribute to her late husband, Prince Philip, calling him a man who shaped and encouraged the lives of countless young people. He was an environmentalist and a champion of the natural world long before it was fashionable, and was a great friend to many.

00:01:30.000Alrighty, so the breaking news this morning is that Prince Philip has died.
00:01:34.000He was aged 99, so this was not unexpected.
00:01:37.000He'd been in the hospital recently, obviously.
00:01:41.000According to the UK Sun, Prince Philip has died aged 99, according to Buckingham Palace.
00:01:45.000The Duke of Edinburgh, who had been married to the Queen for 73 years and described as her constant strength, passed away peacefully at Windsor Castle this morning.
00:01:56.000The Royal Family announced this via tweet.
00:01:59.000The Queen shared a poignant photo of Philip as she talked of her deep sorrow and a heartfelt tribute to her beloved husband.
00:02:03.000A statement from Buckingham Palace said it is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty the Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
00:02:10.000His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.
00:02:13.000Further announcements will be made in due course.
00:02:14.000The Royal Family joined with people around the world in mourning his loss.
00:02:17.000The Royal passed away two months and one day short of what would have been his 100th birthday.
00:02:22.000Prime Minister Boris Johnson paid tribute, said he helped steer the royal family and the monarchy so it remains an institution indisputably vital to the balance and happiness of our national life.
00:02:30.000Johnson said he was an environmentalist and a champion of the natural world long before it was fashionable.
00:02:35.000With his Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme, he shaped and inspired the lives of countless young people at literally tens of thousands of events.
00:02:41.000He fostered their hopes and encouraged their ambitions.
00:02:43.000We remember the Duke for all of this and above all for his steadfast support for Her Majesty the Queen.
00:02:48.000And this of course follows his hospital stay.
00:02:51.000He was taken to the hospital February 16th after feeling unwell.
00:02:54.000And then he had an infection and a heart condition when he was transferred to St.
00:02:57.000Bart's Hospital a couple of weeks later.
00:03:00.000His death obviously comes hard on all of the controversy that's been surrounding the royal family, thanks to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
00:03:08.000But that obviously has nothing to do with his death.
00:03:14.000He'd been struggling with ill health for at least a couple of years.
00:03:18.000In 1942, he became First Lieutenant of the HMS Wallace.
00:03:21.000At 21 years old, he was one of the youngest First Lieutenants in the Royal Navy.
00:03:24.000He married Elizabeth in 1947 at Westminster Abbey, described for his constant strength after the pair met at the wedding of Princess Marina of Greece of Denmark and Prince George, Duke of Kent, in 1934.
00:03:34.000They had four kids, obviously, and they are the source of the current royal line.
00:03:40.000So that is the breaking news as of today.
00:03:45.000And just to show you what a garbage place Twitter is, the tweets below the announcement of his death are all from people celebrating the death of a 99-year-old man who was a lieutenant in World War II.
00:03:55.000So yes, our modern life just getting better and better in terms of our morality.
00:04:00.000Other news that is worth covering here.
00:04:02.000So yesterday I did an entire hour on the Chauvin trial, and I pointed out that the prosecution case seemed to be on very, very thin ice, that a lot of the prosecution witnesses had been basically torn apart by the defense.
00:04:14.000It is worth noting here that the prosecution did have a much better day yesterday.
00:04:18.000So this case is still very much in doubt.
00:04:20.000For people who listened to yesterday's show, and they said, well, you know, no sane jury could come to the conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt.
00:04:25.000Well, based on the prosecution case yesterday, a sane jury could come to the possibility of that conclusion.
00:04:30.000That does not mean that if it comes to the reasonable doubt conclusion, that that is wrong.
00:04:34.000It also doesn't mean that if it comes to the not reasonable doubt conclusion, that is necessarily wrong based on the prosecution witnesses yesterday.
00:04:39.000Now, the prosecution yesterday went how prosecutions are supposed to go.
00:04:43.000Namely, if the prosecution puts up a witness, the defense is not supposed to be able to promptly tear down the witness the way that the defense had over the past couple of days.
00:04:50.000Yesterday, the prosecution brought forth Dr. Martin Tobin, physician in pulmonary and critical care medicine from Chicago.
00:04:58.000He's presented as an expert witness on respiratory matters.
00:05:01.000And he basically just analyzed the tape of Floyd and said he could tell simply by looking at Floyd and measuring his breath and measuring his chest moving up and down, if he died of a drug overdose or if he died of simply being compressed by Derek Chauvin.
00:05:16.000Frankly, I find that a little bit hard to believe because it seems like if you can diagnose cause of death simply by looking at somebody dying, then you are amazing at your job.
00:05:24.000Or alternatively, you're reasoning backward from a conclusion, but in either case, he did exactly what he was supposed to do.
00:05:29.000He testified what the prosecution needed him to testify, which was definitely not fentanyl.
00:05:45.000They also brought forward Daniel Eisenschmidt, a forensic toxicologist of NMS Laboratories who's involved in drug testing Floyd's blood.
00:05:52.000And they also brought forth William Smock, an emergency medical physician and self-described police surgeon who discussed excited delirium and tried to rule that out.
00:05:59.000So as Andrew Branca, who's been doing a very good job covering this over at Legal Insurrection, says, He says this is what every day of the trial should have looked like so far.
00:06:20.000It's the prosecution presenting its case.
00:06:22.000The defense doesn't get to its case until Monday, presumably.
00:06:24.000So I wanted to give an update on that for purposes of those who are following the news and the trial on a day-to-day level.
00:06:30.000All right, well, the big news of yesterday was Joe Biden has now announced, and you knew this was coming, Joe Biden has now announced that it was time for gun control, that he needed to issue some executive actions on gun control.
00:06:43.000Now, his executive actions on gun control, many of them don't actually do anything.
00:06:46.000A lot of this is just for show, as Charles Cook of National Review points out.
00:06:52.000Essentially, what is being done here are a couple of things that might have some impact on some Americans, but most of this is just a sop to the left, and it's basically so he can say that he did something.
00:07:04.000So we begin with Biden's announcement of his gun control executive actions, because again, the way that this works in the United States is that we elect a Congress to spend ungodly sums of money in giant omnibus packages without debating actual provisions of law.
00:07:16.000And that's all Congress is there to do.
00:07:17.000And then we elect a dictator every four years to reverse the last dictator's executive actions.
00:07:21.000So now we have Joe Biden doing this with regard to gun control.
00:07:24.000So, Joe trotted out there, or hobbled out there, and proceeded to explain that gun violence in the United States is an international embarrassment.
00:07:31.000I do love it when presidents of the United States talk about how the United States is an international embarrassment.
00:07:37.000First of all, I don't care what the Europeans think of us.
00:07:40.000And I'm frankly confused by anyone who does care what the Europeans think of us.
00:07:43.000Why would I give a damn what the Europeans think of us?
00:07:45.000After hundreds of years of international warfare and then us saving their ass from the Soviets, I really could not care less what the French think of our gun laws in the United States.
00:08:08.000How about if I judge our policy based on whether I think the policy I don't care.
00:08:11.000a good job of balancing risk reward and rights. How about that? The constant appeal by democratic politicians to what the world thinks. I don't care. I don't understand why you would care.
00:08:22.000You're a member of the American democracy. If you want to live in Denmark, go live in Denmark.
00:08:26.000If you care that much with the folks in the Netherlands think you are free to pick up and leave at any time. I don't. Let me explain. I.
00:08:38.000But here is a Joe Biden explaining that we should deeply, deeply care about what the international community thinks of our gun violence problem.
00:08:45.000Listen, if you want to make the case that we ought to curb guns, the least effective case here is, yeah, what do the Australians think?
00:09:16.000Gun violence is not an epidemic because epidemics, they are things where you have a disease and then you pass the disease to someone else.
00:09:24.000No matter how many acts of gun violence are committed in the United States, it will not make me commit an act of gun violence randomly because it was passed to me on a bus.
00:10:52.000That's CutClothing.com slash Shapiro for 15% off the only shirt worth wearing.
00:10:58.000Okay, so Joe Biden then continues along these lines.
00:11:03.000But the entire point here is that Joe Biden doesn't actually have, as we will see, any sort of rationale for his gun control proposals here.
00:11:10.000There's no shot in the world they actually lower the amount of violence using guns in the United States.
00:11:15.000They're calibrated to please the radical left that has, again, a complete disconnect with reality when it comes to the causes of violence using guns.
00:11:21.000They believe that the way that you stop violence using guns is by barring obscure Sort of things that are used by some gun owners without a lot of connection to crime.
00:11:32.000The actual way that you stop gun violence is the same way that you stop all violence.
00:13:38.000I mean, sure, those feelings might have some ramifications by making tens of millions of Americans felons for owning stuff that they already own.
00:13:44.000But he has feelings, and that's the important thing.
00:13:47.000He's somebody throughout his entire career in public service who has been incredibly focused on gun reform.
00:13:53.000You know, he worked to pass the Brady Bill when he was in the Senate.
00:13:55.000He worked to pass the assault weapons ban.
00:13:58.000This is something he feels incredibly powerfully about.
00:14:01.000And so the actions he's announcing today are the first step.
00:14:05.000He would be the first to say it's not enough.
00:14:20.000The actual problem is that we have this incredible rise in crime across the United States that's been happening over the course of the last year.
00:14:26.000Emma Tucker and Peter Nikias over at CNN reported just a few days ago, quote, the U.S.
00:14:30.000saw significant crime rise across major cities in 2020, and it's not letting up.
00:14:34.000Major American cities saw a 33% increase in homicides last year.
00:14:38.000As a pandemic swept across the country, millions of people joined protests against racial injustice and police brutality, and the economy collapsed under the weight of the pandemic, a crime surge that has continued into the first quarter of this year.
00:14:48.000You may have noticed in the description of the problems last year, they did not include police were put under the gun, and then were told not to police anymore.
00:14:55.000Okay, that would be the actual reason, not the pandemic, because it turns out that in a lot of other areas of American life, and a lot of other areas of the country that are not major metropolitan areas, crime actually went down because people were staying at home.
00:15:06.000Hey, but the real reason that this is happening, of course, is because if you rip on the cops all the time, and then if you try to defund the cops, and there aren't enough cops on the streets, violence goes up.
00:15:22.000It is difficult to name a major American city in the United States that does not vote Democrat.
00:15:27.000The ones that are having the major spikes in crimes are the ones that already like Joe Biden, that already like his policies.
00:15:33.000Many of them have the same gun control policies that Joe Biden already wants nationally.
00:15:38.000The real answer to the violence with guns problems is the same as the solution to the violence problem generally, which is you need more cops on the streets.
00:15:46.00063 of the 66 largest police jurisdictions saw increases in at least one category of violent crime in 2020 that includes homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, according to a report produced by the major city's chiefs coal association. Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Raleigh, North Carolina did not report increases in any of the violent crime categories. CNN says it's nearly impossible to attribute any year to year change in violent crime stats to any single factor. And homicides and shootings are an intensely local phenomenon that can spike for dozens of reasons. But the increase in homicide
00:16:14.000rates across the country is both historic and far reaching, as were the pandemic and social Well, it ain't the pandemic.
00:16:20.000The pandemic is not the rationale for why people are murdering each other.
00:16:23.000The reason is because when you take the cops off the streets, and when you say the cops are bad, and when you have 20 million people in the streets marching against the cops, the cops stop doing their jobs.
00:16:31.000We had a bit of this in 2014, 2015, with the so-called Ferguson effect.
00:16:34.000After Ferguson, Missouri, and now we are having this with the George Floyd effect.
00:18:24.000Well, now Joe Biden is pushing precisely the opposite.
00:18:27.000According to MSNBC, Biden's new gun proposals are interested in investing in community-based solution, not incarceration.
00:18:33.000Except, of course, for the fact that if you want criminals off the streets, incarceration would actually be the solution to that particular problem.
00:18:40.000The administration will also invest in evidence-based community violence intervention rather than incarceration.
00:18:50.000In fact, none of this is really designed to be the solution.
00:18:53.000So what exactly are these executive actions?
00:18:55.000According to the Daily Wire, in a statement, the administration outlined the following initial actions in his attack on gun rights.
00:19:01.000One, the Justice Department within 30 days will issue a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of ghost guns.
00:19:06.000So ghost guns are basically you buy a gun kit with the parts and then you put it together yourself.
00:19:11.000Let me just express that there is very little evidence that ghost guns are responsible for a large share of violence using guns in the United States.
00:19:19.000I'm unaware of any data suggesting that ghost guns are a major problem in terms of criminals who are using guns in the United States.
00:19:25.000Beyond that, 3D printing basically makes this completely irrelevant.
00:19:30.0003D printing, which is going to become more and more prevalent in the United States, means that you can simply cut the parts yourself using a blueprint online.
00:19:38.000And it is a crackdown on the First Amendment to take that stuff offline.
00:19:42.000It's a First Amendment issue if you're saying you're going to take the plans to build a gun offline for do-it-yourselfers at home.
00:19:49.000So is that designed to really solve a problem?
00:19:51.000Is there any evidence that taking quote-unquote ghost guns out of circulation is, number one, going to be effective?
00:19:56.000And number two, is in any way supportable under the Second Amendment?
00:19:59.000That's a really difficult case to make.
00:20:01.000Second, the Justice Department within 60 days will issue a proposed rule to make clear when a device marketed as a stabilizing brace effectively turns a pistol into a short-barreled rifle subject to the requirements of the National Firearms Act.
00:20:13.000Okay, this particular provision with regard to stabilizing braces, apparently there are 10 to 40 million stabilizing braces in circulation.
00:20:19.000Basically a stabilizing brace is a device that you attach to the end of an AR pistol and it straps to your arm, right?
00:20:27.000It doesn't strap to your shoulder, that would make it a rifle.
00:20:29.000Joe Biden said yesterday, That it makes it more deadly than a rifle?
00:20:33.000I have no idea where he's getting this.
00:21:41.000According to Daily Wire, the portion of the statement that mentioned the stabilizing brace is a reference to AR and AK pistols, which have barrels that are shorter than the minimum 16 inches required by the National Firearms Act.
00:21:50.000The statement said the pistols with an arm brace are concealable.
00:21:55.000Because again, that means that AR pistols would be, like, two feet long.
00:21:59.000Maybe it's concealable in, like, a backpack or something, but certainly not on your body.
00:22:03.000The claim that weapons with a pistol brace will be quote-unquote subject to the requirements of the National Firearms Act means gun owners will likely be forced to pay a $200 tax stamp on those firearms.
00:22:13.000Other things that the executive orders are going to do.
00:22:16.000They're going to publish model red flag legislation for states.
00:22:29.000A lot of this is basically just a big nothing.
00:22:31.000This is what Charles Cook over at National Review is pointing out.
00:22:36.000Charles Cook, who's a real gun advocate, he said, all the policy meat in Biden's missive sits within his reiterating his call for Congress to pass legislation section, which given that there aren't enough votes in the Senate for gun control means nothing is going to happen. Everything else in the release smacks of a sideshow. Ghost guns are not really a growing problem. The proposed rule to get rid of stabilizing braces, it's a semantic topic, but it has no connection to the murder rate.
00:22:59.000The public red flag model legislation means nothing because states still have to adopt it.
00:23:04.000So most of this is just designed to make Joe Biden look like he cares about gun control without actually doing anything on gun control.
00:23:10.000I'm not sure why he thinks that's good optics, considering that he just activated perhaps the most rabid voter base in the country against him.
00:23:19.000Okay, in just one second, we're gonna get to more of this.
00:23:20.000And first, let us talk about your sleep quality.
00:23:23.000So, you know, you have to have a great mattress.
00:23:47.000They only use 100% sustainable raw materials.
00:23:49.000As the first Fairtrade-certified manufacturer of linen, you can feel as good about your Bull & Branch sheets as they feel against your skin.
00:23:55.000The Signature Hemmed Sheets from Bull & Branch are a bestseller for a reason.
00:23:58.000Buttery soft, lightweight, organic cotton, and a classic sateen weave for sheets that get softer over time.
00:24:36.000Joe Biden, in trotting out these particular pieces of nonsensical executive orders, he also proceeded to just say a bunch of things that are not true.
00:24:47.000Just a bunch of things that are bizarre and not true, because this is what Joe Biden does.
00:24:51.000In order to promulgate bad policy, he has to tell you a bunch of lies.
00:24:57.000Whenever Congress names an act, you can be pretty sure it does the reverse of what it is supposed to do.
00:25:01.000When they say For the People Act, what they actually mean is for the Democrats, in spite of an attempt to enshrine voter ID into law act, right?
00:25:09.000I mean, it's basically a For the Voter Fraud Act, but they'll call it For the People Act.
00:25:14.000They'll do the same thing with the so-called Equality Act, which is designed to restrict religious practice rights.
00:25:20.000It will same thing when it comes to gun control.
00:25:21.000Joe Biden will talk about how he's not attempting to restrict the Second Amendment.
00:25:24.000All he's trying to do is restrict the Second Amendment.
00:25:27.000So Joe Biden says no amendment to the Constitution is absolute, which would come as a shock to former slaves in the United States.
00:25:33.000The 13th Amendment is pretty absolute when it bars slavery, for example.
00:25:36.000Some amendments to the Constitution, to be somewhat semantic here, are absolute.
00:25:40.000Here's Joe Biden saying no amendment is absolute, which is, again, a weird take.
00:25:45.000But no amendment, no amendment to the Constitution is absolute.
00:25:50.000You can't yell fire in a crowded movie theater.
00:25:55.000From the very beginning, you couldn't own any weapon you wanted to own.
00:25:59.000From the very beginning of the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren't allowed to have weapons.
00:26:03.000So the idea is just bizarre to suggest that some of the things we're recommending are contrary to the Constitution.
00:26:11.000Okay, I would love to see his source for restrictions on type of firearm owned at the founding.
00:26:16.000I'm pretty sure he's going to have a hard time finding that.
00:26:19.000As far as his argument that the First Amendment has restrictions, first of all, anytime a politician says the phrase fire in a crowded theater, it's because they don't know the law and they're a moron.
00:26:28.000Any politician who cites this as a source for restrictions on the First Amendment, number one, doesn't understand the original case, and number two, doesn't understand that it was repealed essentially by Brandenburg versus Ohio.
00:26:36.000You can in fact shout fire in a crowded theater if there is a fire in a crowded theater, plus There is a solid case to be made that Schenck versus United States, which is the fire-in-a-crowded-theater case, is bad law.
00:26:47.000Beyond that, that does not answer the question as to what restrictions are appropriate on the Second Amendment.
00:26:53.000Simply saying that all amendments are subject to some restrictions does not answer whether this particular restriction is subject to the Constitution.
00:27:03.000Then Biden expands and says, your Second Amendment rights aren't at stake, but this is only the beginning and we're going to come after more of your guns.
00:27:10.000Nothing I'm about to recommend in any way impinges on the Second Amendment.
00:27:15.000They're phony arguments suggesting that these are Second Amendment rights at stake from what we're talking about.
00:27:22.000Um, so, um, yeah, um, so here's the thing.
00:27:27.000Whenever the Democrats say, we're not threatening your First Amendment rights, or not threatening your Second Amendment rights, and then proceed to spell out policies that do in fact threaten your rights, They're not telling you the truth.
00:27:37.000Of course, this is going to be a case.
00:27:38.000It's going to go to the Supreme Court.
00:27:40.000These executive orders will go to the Supreme Court.
00:27:43.000And if Joe Biden had his way, he would absolutely be passing gun control legislation.
00:27:46.000In fact, he said in this press conference that if he could pass one thing, if God could give him control just to pass one thing that was not an executive order, it would be a massive gun confiscation bill.
00:27:56.000He said it would be a huge gun control bill.
00:28:21.000What there is, is it says in law that I can pass a gun onto my child without having to go to a federally licensed firearms dealer.
00:28:27.000However, if I go to a gun show and I buy a gun from a federally licensed firearms dealer, I have to go through a background check the same as everybody else does.
00:28:35.000Gun shows are not this sort of magical free zone where everybody just gets to buy whatever gun they want willy-nilly without being subjected to federal and state regulations.
00:28:43.000But here's Joe Biden just saying things that aren't true.
00:28:46.000These bills, one, require background checks for anyone purchasing a gun at a gun show or an online sale.
00:28:58.000Most people don't know, you walk into a store and you buy a gun, you have a background check.
00:29:03.000But you go to a gun show, you can buy whatever you want and no background check.
00:29:18.000Other things that are not true that Joe Biden said, he also touted his failed assault weapons ban.
00:29:23.000And there is no evidence whatsoever that this lowered the rate of mass shootings or the rate of crime in the United States.
00:29:29.000The number of people who own guns in the United States, number of guns in circulations, rather, went up radically in the aftermath of the assault weapons bill.
00:30:04.000There's no evidence that that is the case, that the number of mass shootings went down.
00:30:07.000In fact, between the time that it was put in place and the time that it went out of practice, exactly the same number of mass shootings on average happened.

00:32:41.000In just a second, we'll get to Joe Biden's ATF pick, who happens to be extremely radical.
00:32:45.000First, it is that glorious time of the week when I give a shout out to a Daily Wire member today.
00:32:49.000It is Matthew Wells on Twitter, who's hopefully about to get a high five from his awesome kid.
00:32:53.000In the picture, Matthew's young daughter sits at their fireplace holding the world's most elite beverage vessel with a big smile on her face.
00:32:59.000Real Daily Wire, future conservative, future astronaut, hates when I listen to Ben Shapiro, but would love nothing more than to be featured, hashtag leftist, here's Tumblr.
00:33:22.000In tonight's episode, Candace's Cancel Corner will feature Clay Travis, sports commentator, founder of Outkick Sports.
00:33:28.000He's the host of Outkick, the coverage on Fox Sports Radio, Outkick, the show livestream, wins and losses podcast, and iHeart.
00:33:33.000Clay's been canceled from CNN and ESPN for his upfront and in-your-face commentary, so naturally, he is the perfect guest for Candace to talk about MLB.
00:33:41.000and the infection of sports with wokeism.
00:33:43.000Tune in to watch their hilarious discussion tonight at 9 p.m.
00:34:03.000Be sure to leave a five-star review if you like what you hear.
00:34:05.000you're listening to the largest, fastest growing conservative podcast and radio show in the nation.
00:34:08.000So just to show you how radical Joe Biden is on gun control, his new ATF pick, a guy named David Chipman is super, super radical.
00:34:20.000According to the Gun Owners of America, they say they are shocked at the brazen decision to nominate a registered anti-gun lobbyist to be director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
00:34:30.000The GOA also expressed opposition to Biden's plans to announce new gun control measures on Thursday.
00:34:35.000According to Dudley Brown, president of the National Association for Gun Rights, he noted Chipman's role as case agent for ATF in the Branch Davidian trial, while he was based at the Waco, Texas field office.
00:34:44.000He says, David Chipman has been on the leading edge of ATF scandals for decades, all the way back to Waco.
00:34:48.000Now he shills for gun confiscation with Gun Control, Inc.
00:34:51.000Chipman has embraced every harebrained gun control scheme proposed, so of course Biden and Harris chose him.
00:34:55.000He'll fit right in with their corrupt administration.
00:34:58.000This is obviously an administration that is dedicated to cracking down on the Second Amendment to the extent that they can legally.
00:35:06.000Meanwhile, of course, Jen Psaki is trying to clean up the fact that Joe Biden is a liar.
00:35:10.000You know how bad Joe Biden is at this?
00:35:12.000The Washington Post gave him a mostly false rating on his statements about the ability to buy guns at gun shows without any sort of background check.
00:35:20.000To get a mostly false from the Washington Post, basically you have to be the worst liar in existence if you're a Democrat.
00:35:24.000Because the way that it works, if you are a Democrat and you say something that is blatantly untrue, is they call it half true.
00:35:30.000And if you're a Republican and you say something is true, they call it mostly false.
00:35:34.000If you're a Democrat and they call something mostly false, that means it is the falsest thing that has ever been said in the history of humanity.
00:35:39.000So he got slapped to the fact check on this one.
00:35:41.000Here's Jen Psaki trying to walk it back.
00:35:44.000Is it the president's belief that you do not have to undergo a background check when you are at a gun show?
00:37:18.000So, yeah, that's pretty much the end of this.
00:37:20.000Meanwhile, governors are saying they're not gonna put up with Biden's attacks on the Second Amendment.
00:37:24.000Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted, Meanwhile, Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy said the same thing.
00:37:27.000rights. He just announced a new liberal power grab to take away guns. We're not going to allow this in Texas. It's time to get legislation making Texas a Second Amendment sanctuary state passed into my desk for signing. Meanwhile, Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy said the same thing. He said Alaska is a Second Amendment sanctuary state.
00:37:40.000We will be evaluating our options. Basically, what does that mean? That means that the state government is not going to work with the federal government in effectuating these laws. I'm very much looking forward Honestly, I want more sanctuary states against federal predations by various Republican governments.
00:37:55.000If Democrats can do this with illegal immigration and say that they are not going to allow local law enforcement to work with federal agents in rounding up people who are criminally legal aliens, for example, well, then I think it is perfectly plausible and, in fact, good for states like Texas to say, we are not helping ATF1IOTA.
00:38:15.000South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem highlighted the portion of the Second Amendment that says, shall not be infringed, writing, Biden claims his actions won't infringe on the Second Amendment.
00:38:24.000Placing new limits on firearm sales is an infringement.
00:38:26.000Curbing ammo purchases is an infringement.
00:38:29.000Idaho Governor Brad Little said the same thing.
00:38:31.000So all of these red states are now starting to move in the direction they should move because guess what?
00:38:35.000This isn't going to be the first time or the last time that the Biden administration infringes on core liberties in the United States.
00:38:41.000It's about time for states to stand up on their hind legs and say, we are not going to participate in this.
00:38:46.000Meanwhile, just as a side note here, I think it is worthwhile noting here that Joe Biden, who is very, very anti-gun, He has a son who will not be prosecuted.
00:38:53.000Hunter Biden has committed pretty much every crime that Joe Biden has ever put somebody in jail for or wanted to.
00:38:58.000And yet, you want to talk about like a double system of justice in the United States?
00:39:05.000Hunter Biden would be in jail one million times over for the activities in which he has engaged.
00:39:10.000if the man were not the son of Joe Biden. But as Breitbart notes, Joe Pollack writing, President Biden issued several new executive orders and actions Thursday aimed at gun control, while his son, Hunter Biden, is accused by critics of having violated federal law by lying about his past drug use in the background check for a gun. The gun was part of a domestic dispute that reportedly involved the Secret Service that later disappeared. Politico had managed to obtain a copy of the firearm transactions record and a receipt for the gun in question.
00:39:34.000Dated as of October 2018, it asked, are you an unlawful user of or addicted to marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
00:39:42.000Hunter answered no, despite a long history of drug use.
00:39:47.000And by the way, speaking of Hunter Biden, he's still going around trotting around to the plaudits of the media saying that that laptop might be fake and he has no idea where it came from.
00:39:54.000Meanwhile, the UK Daily Mail put out actual photos from Hunter Biden's laptop of him with two prostitutes on top of him.
00:40:01.000Okay, so I'm pretty sure that's Hunter Biden's laptop.
00:40:04.000I'm pretty sure that, at the very least, those materials are Hunter Biden's materials.
00:40:07.000And I'm amused to see how the media are going rip-roaring hard after Matt Gaetz, because Matt Gaetz apparently was engaging in prostitution, or allegedly engaging in prostitution.
00:40:18.000But Hunter Biden is just a sweet, wayward child, who's 51 years old, by the way.
00:40:23.000How about whoever engages in criminal activity should go to jail?
00:40:50.000They've decided that they basically have free reign to do what they want with the corporations of the United States, and the pressure is coming from the wokest among us.
00:40:58.000According to Peniel E. Joseph, writing for CNN, black power in the boardroom is leading the fight for justice.
00:41:05.000They say black business leaders' efforts to stop voter suppression in the wake of Georgia's recently enacted voting bill illustrate the vanishing separation between protest and politics in America today.
00:41:13.000They also embody the work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
00:41:15.000Over 70 black executives, led by former American Express CEO Ken Chenault, signed a letter released at the end of March that pressed corporate America to take a stand on voting rights, one of the central moral and political issues in the United States today.
00:41:27.000The new law and those like it are both undemocratic and un-American, and they are wrong.
00:41:31.000The memo to Corporate America, The Fierce Urgency of Now, which debuted as a full-page ad in the New York Times, channels Dr. King's words from his April 4, 1967 Riverside Church speech criticizing the Vietnam War to uphold the sanctity of voting rights in America.
00:41:44.000The letter outlines the way that seeming race-neutral or ostensibly colorblind laws and policies can be designed to have race-specific outcomes that harm the black community.
00:41:54.000The letter spoke for many by expressing a blunt truth.
00:41:56.000There's no middle ground, said Martin Luther King.
00:41:58.000There are either four more people voting or you might want to suppress the vote.
00:42:00.000Sorry, that is the letter from Ken Chennault.
00:42:13.000I don't want more people voting if they can't legitimately vote.
00:42:16.000It's not a question of how many people vote, it's a question of whether the vote is legitimate in the first place.
00:42:20.000But the point here is that if you can leverage, on the basis of race, corporations into doing what you want, then you can shift politics, and you can shift the nature of the law, by leveraging these dollars.
00:42:31.000And the push is growing stronger and stronger, and corporate America is not standing up to it.
00:42:35.000Which is why, of course, the right is going to have to push back, as I've been advocating.
00:42:38.000At a certain point here, the right is going to have to turn to these corporations and say, If the left is going to push you to take positions on controversial issues, we will push you in the opposite direction.
00:42:47.000Because right now, for these corporations, if they feel pushback only from the left, they're just going to do what the left wants and figure that the right will just turtle.
00:42:57.000But the oats that are being felt here by the hardcore, woke wing of the Democratic Party are pretty extraordinary.
00:43:07.000So for example, P. Diddy, Sean Combs, has now issued a letter to corporate America.
00:43:15.000It says, Yes, corporate America now must become a tool of P. Diddy.
00:43:23.000By the way, what is P. Diddy's net worth?
00:43:24.000I believe he's worth about $900 million.
00:43:26.000So clearly he has suffered in this evil, horrible, no good, very bad racist country.
00:43:31.000Combs specifically called out General Motors, which listed his own media company, Revolt, as an example of a black-owned media company it supports, writing that solidarity is insufficient if corporations don't offer financial help.
00:43:42.000Okay, this is the part that's really fun.
00:43:43.000We are now just in straight blackmail territory, right?
00:43:45.000When you are just saying to corporations, we're gonna call you racist and part of the problem unless you sign me a check, that's just extortion.
00:43:53.000So P. Diddy writes this letter, and if corporations cave to it, they deserve what they get.
00:43:57.000To be perfectly honest with you, if a corporation has so little spine that they cave to this sort of nonsense, they deserve to be torn down.
00:44:04.000I'm not gonna stand in the way of P. Diddy and company tearing down GM if GM decides to cave to them.
00:44:18.000The same feet these companies use to stand with us in solidarity are the same feet they use to stand on our necks First of all, that in and of itself is egregious language.
00:44:27.000It's comparing the death of George Floyd, a man who died, to the fate of people like P. Diddy, who's worth 900 million dollars.
00:44:35.000When confronted by the leaders of several black-owned media companies, says P. Diddy, General Motors listed MyNetworkRevolt as an example of black-owned media it supports.
00:44:43.000While Revolt does receive advertising revenue from GM, our relationship is not an example of success.
00:44:48.000Instead, Revolt, just like other black-owned media companies, fights for crumbs, while GM makes billions of dollars every year from the black community.
00:44:55.000So basically, his case is that if a black person buys an auto from GM, that money must be reinvested with a black person.
00:45:03.000So segregation is what you're talking about here.
00:45:05.000This is straight up Al Sharpton going to Macy's and saying, I'm gonna call you guys racial profilers and racists unless you make a donation to the National Action Network.
00:45:12.000Opposing the way GM and many other advertisers have always treated us, no longer can corporate America manipulate our community into believing that incremental progress is acceptable action.
00:45:22.000This is straight up Al Sharpton going to Macy's and saying, I'm going to call you guys racial profilers and racists unless you make a donation to the National Action Network.
00:45:30.000This is where we are now in American life.
00:45:31.000This is the case being made by the left with regard to racial reparations.
00:45:35.000That you're racist if you don't actually just give money, just straight checks to black people.
00:45:40.000And we have not worked out how it's going to work yet, but we're going to simply just put that out there.
00:45:45.000That's P. Diddy right here saying the GM is racist unless it signs him a larger check.
00:45:49.000Says P. Diddy, corporations like General Motors have exploited our culture, undermined our power, excluded black entrepreneurs from participating in the value created by black consumers.
00:45:57.000In 2019, brands spent $239 billion on advertising.
00:46:01.000Less than 1% of that was invested in black-owned media companies.
00:46:07.000I mean, are they invested, is that because they hate black people or because the most efficient media companies reaching an audience that GM is trying to serve aren't black-owned?
00:46:18.000This whole thing is an absurdity, but again, when it comes to the left's woke causes, equity is just a guise for...
