In this episode, we discuss the latest in the ongoing saga of the DOJ targeting Trump supporters and their political opponents. We are joined by Rep. Troy Nails (R-Texas) and Seamus Goglin (D-GA) to discuss all of this and more.
00:01:29.000of Donald Trump's claims in the 2020 election and And man, it just kind of gets crazier and scarier every day.
00:01:37.000The FBI, the DOJ, they've been issuing more subpoenas.
00:01:39.000They've been going after Republicans who supported Trump.
00:01:42.000They've even seized cell phone data from I believe somebody out of the GOP chair out of Nevada.
00:01:48.000Basically, if you were concerned about 2020 and you sided with Trump, looks like the weight of the DOJ is coming after you.
00:01:57.000And to me, this seems entirely political.
00:02:00.000So, I don't know, should I just say, it's a political civil war at the very least, watching law enforcement be used against political rivals.
00:02:09.000In an op-ed for the Washington Post, one writer said, if the purpose of all of this is just to stop Donald Trump from running again, Why not just use the power of Congress to do so?
00:02:19.000As if to imply it is believed among people in media that the only reason they're going after Trump supporters and Trump himself is because they're scared he'll win in 2024.
00:02:28.000And I think that's basically what they're doing.
00:02:30.000Trying to find any way possible to use the 14th amendment to stop Trump from winning another term.
00:02:36.000And that just says to me, like, I mean, it's all right there in front of your face.
00:02:40.000So regardless of what you think, either you're on the left and you think Trump staged a coup and lost, Or, and January 6th, so you must be thinking Civil War.
00:02:49.000Or, you support Trump and you're watching the DOJ go after their political rivals.
00:02:56.000We'll talk about all that and a bunch of other stories.
00:02:59.000The Supreme Court, obviously this one's really, really big, just struck down a gun control law in New York, so it's a major victory for gun rights advocates.
00:03:42.000You know, we're in the minority up there and it's difficult when you know that for two years you're not getting anything meaningful across the aisle.
00:03:51.000So, we have our battles each and every day, but I keep the faith and stay after it.
00:04:00.000I was a sheriff for the past eight years and it started with my father way back then when and he was a sheriff, military man, older brother, sheriff as well, military and then I have a twin brother and I that joined the military as well and we're both in law enforcement.

00:06:39.000The fire emojis are already in the chat.
00:06:42.000Feds search home of Jeffrey Clark, former DOJ official who pushed Trump's false election fraud claims.
00:06:49.000They say Clark is a former DOJ lawyer, who former President Donald Trump sought to install as Attorney General in the days before the January 6th Capitol riot, as top officials refused to go along with his vote fraud claims.
00:07:01.000It wasn't clear what investigators were seeking at Clark's home, but the raid was part of the Justice Department's sweeping investigation into the effort to overturn the 2020 elections, according to sources familiar with the matter.
00:07:11.000Now, what we're hearing from conservatives and Republicans Is that Jeffrey Clark was simply trying to understand and investigate the claims that were being made.
00:07:20.000On the left, they're saying he's an insurrectionist who is going along with Trump's schemes.
00:07:25.000I don't think either narrative matters.
00:08:14.000I just don't like how the left is the anti-police state side quote-unquote the you know anti-prison industrial complex but if it's somebody who we don't know why yet if we know why and the dude did something wrong okay but we don't know why yet and just to see Democrats blindly be like yes Queen and like so excited that just Trump supporters are being arrested or searched or whatever I don't love.
00:08:46.000You look at what the DOJ has done at this sham committee.
00:08:49.000They've gone after Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, anybody even affiliated, associated with Trump, anybody that was texting with him, tweeting with him even days prior.
00:09:44.000McCarthy asked me to be one of the five, and I wanted to be, but for your listeners, you need to understand that this is the first time in the history of Congress has a speaker ever rejected a minority leader's picks to be on a select committee.
00:10:28.000No one in the Cheney family has ever gotten us like hyped up on fears of terrorism or anything like that to strip people of their civil liberties.
00:10:35.000I don't think we have anything to worry about here.
00:10:38.000The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, huh?
00:10:40.000Yeah, if you've been watching the hearings and Liz, the first hearing, 20 minutes, pretty sleepy.
00:10:46.000She must have a serious crush on Trump because she mentioned his name over and over and over again.
00:10:52.000But truly, I think what it is, she despises him.
00:10:54.000She thinks about him when she wakes up and when she goes to sleep.
00:10:58.000She's thinking about him because she despises him.
00:11:00.000Everybody on that committee, they hate him.
00:11:02.000And I believe, Tim, you're absolutely right.
00:12:05.000So Robert Barnes was on, he was saying he doesn't think they're gonna actually criminally charge Trump or even do a criminal referral, because if they do, then it's Ron DeSantis.
00:12:14.000But what they want to do is demonize Trump enough to where they'll have something to campaign on.
00:12:19.000So come 2024, Trump comes out and he's like, you know, I'm going to be running again.
00:12:23.000And then they're going to be like, remember all of that crazy stuff we showed you in the FBI?
00:12:35.000I wanted to ask you about that, which is, do you think your constituents, because when I go on Twitter and, you know, the people I follow are, a lot of them are famous Hollywood people or people on the left still.
00:12:47.000And even my people on the right, like everyone's kind of talking about it.
00:12:50.000Do real people care about this or do real people just want to talk about the economy?
00:12:54.000Like, are there working poor constituents who are coming up to you talking about January 6th?
00:13:00.000Like, is it an issue that affects real people right now?
00:13:03.000I think when the people that talked about it, they said there's very few people watching this stuff.
00:13:08.000Listen, they cannot talk about inflation, they can't talk about gas prices, but the mom and dad and everybody else that's paying five bucks for fuel, that's what's on their mind.
00:13:18.000The food, all of it, the inflation, eight and a half percent.
00:13:20.000So what else are the Democrats going to play?
00:13:22.000I mean, really, quite honestly, they're pretty clever about this.
00:13:26.000Let's just talk about January 6th, because we can just beat Trump every day.
00:13:30.000Beat him, beat him, beat him, beat him, because they don't want him coming back in 2024.
00:13:32.000No, I hope he comes back, because I think he'll be the 47th president if he comes back.
00:13:41.000Could you just imagine being at a gas station, and then all of a sudden you hear someone just yell out in anger, like, And you're like, oh man, you must have saw the gas prices.
00:13:58.000We came so close to losing it all that day!
00:14:03.000This is so hysterical, the entire narrative.
00:14:05.000He's the sitting president of the United States at this point, has complete control over the military, right?
00:14:10.000He's the commander-in-chief, and his attempt at an insurrection is to, like, vaguely dog-whistle that people enter a building without weapons?
00:14:52.000I give tours of that Capitol today, and I gave it last week, and when you go through that beautiful statutory hall, if the individuals inside that building wanted to destroy that building, they could have.
00:15:56.000My point is, even when you look at the people who did break the law, who should be prosecuted, it still wasn't an insurrection.
00:16:04.000Well, and this was kind of, maybe this is a stretch, Tim, but this was, you know, Occupy is you had normal people marching peacefully, which is our right to do.
00:16:12.000And then you had people destroying property.
00:16:15.000And those are very, those are two very different groups of people.
00:16:29.000That puts it on a special level, but it was a riot.
00:16:32.000It was a riot, and it was a really, really bad one.
00:16:36.000And there's questions about security and how we should be handling this.
00:16:40.000But the funny thing is, on January 20th, 2017, hundreds of black-clad far-leftists romped through D.C., smashing windows and setting fires, attacking people, and they were all arrested, and almost all of them were acquitted, except for the people who actually pleaded guilty, because they made a mistake.
00:16:57.000A bunch of people just said, no matter what, I'm not guilty.
00:17:00.000And then the progressive lawyers and legal apparatus were able to get these people out.
00:17:04.000Lawsuits were filed and the city ended up having to pay the people they arrested, some
00:18:00.000Thousands of far leftists ripped down the barricades in front of the White House, tried tearing the fence down, set fire to a White House guard post, set fire to St.
00:18:26.000It was so much worse than January 6th.
00:18:29.000But I gotta tell you, man, Troy, you see, I think the issue is the Democrats, they play offense.
00:18:34.000They hold these committees, Republicans don't do it.
00:18:36.000Why don't Republicans announce a select committee on 529 and start bringing in people, filing subpoenas?
00:18:42.000I think what you're going to see is once we take over, and we will take over the House in January, there's no question about it.
00:18:47.000And I think Leader McCarthy has stated that he's going to obviously form some select committees.
00:18:52.000I think we'll be looking in the Hunter's laptop and COVID issues, Afghanistan, that dismal withdrawal, and obviously the southern border, fentanyl.
00:19:01.000So I think there's going to be some committees established.
00:19:03.000I think the Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform are going to be very, very busy for the next two years just looking at some of these things.
00:19:11.000As it relates to the 529, I'm not certain.
00:19:51.000You need to get rid of some of these others, Steve, because I've been down to the southern border.
00:19:54.000I'm going to deflect down to the southern border, but I've been down there, Mayorkas, telling the American people the southern border is closed.
00:20:28.000The Democratic establishment, and obviously the neocon Republicans who work with him, were able to take what Joe Biden did, stick it to Trump, and use it to impeach him.
00:20:37.000They said Donald Trump engaged in a quid pro quo with the president of Ukraine, when what actually happened was, in my opinion, When you see the transcript and you hear about what Trump was saying, it sounds like Trump didn't really know what was going on.
00:20:51.000It sounds like Trump watched Fox News and then saw some video where Joe Biden's like, I said, you're not getting a loan guarantee, a billion dollars, unless you fire the prosecutor.
00:22:25.000But this, I mean, and that's exactly why the media covered it up, right?
00:22:28.000And that's exactly why it was suppressed by all the major social media companies.
00:22:31.000We've had other Republican prospects, you know, I've asked about this, like, well, you know, when it comes to impeachment, we're going to need this, that.
00:22:52.000I saw you try to run and pick him up when he fell off his bike just like come on buddy you got this you got this can I I just want to backtrack to January 6 because I actually think it's really interesting and I've obviously I've never talked to anyone who was there where you're a Republican so you're on the side of a lot of the people who were there You're from law enforcement, so you have to gauge and assess threats and protect people.
00:23:17.000I assume even when you are not wearing that badge, you still take that very seriously.
00:23:23.000What in God's name was your mindset during that?
00:24:38.000I mean, all I did do know is that some others put some furniture in front of those doors to make sure that it wouldn't get through.
00:24:45.000They broke the windows and then I was eyeballing a kid on the other side, a young man.
00:24:48.000And then I started having a little conversation with him because You see in all these pictures these Capitol Police officers having their guns drawn.
00:24:56.000And so I thought, we cannot have this.
00:24:58.000I mean, people are going to get shot if we're not careful.
00:25:00.000So my job, my law enforcement background, trying to diffuse the situation.
00:25:28.000Yeah, I mean, to be fair, me and the congressman almost had a wrestling match downstairs before the show, and I was like, I trust this guy can handle himself.
00:25:34.000We spotted each other's cauliflower ear.
00:26:36.000Ashley Babbitt was murdered on our nation's capital on January 6th.
00:26:39.000Will there be an effort, do you believe, on the part of Republicans or yourself to investigate or to get an indictment or anything like that?
00:27:29.000We have 14 Republicans in the Senate supporting this ridiculous bill, coming to the aid of Democrats who want to strip us of our rights.
00:27:39.000You know, what bothers me is we never see the inverse.
00:27:41.000We never see Democrats being forced to negotiate with Republicans on Easing gun restrictions and bringing about gun access.
00:27:49.000So that really, I don't know, that hurts me.
00:27:52.000I mean, Republicans are expected to hold the line and compromise a little bit and then hold the line at its new position.
00:27:58.000Whenever a Republican actually tries to bring things back to the way they used to be or conserve, as conservatives are supposed to, they're called an extremist or a radical.
00:28:11.000There are 14 senators and one of our senators, we have two obviously from Texas, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz.
00:28:18.000And I know that John Cornyn, I think McConnell asked him to kind of help lead that effort and try to find some unity or compromise with the other side.
00:28:26.000One of the Democrats has a compromise.
00:28:28.000Yeah, well, I'm just letting you know that our big state convention was last week and Senator Cornyn spoke at it and they booed him pretty much right out of the room.
00:28:36.000I think he's having a difficult time right now.
00:28:41.000Shelley Capito said that this is not about red flag laws, we won't allow that.
00:28:46.000The bill's literally got a whole section on red flag laws and funding it.
00:28:49.000They're just spitting in our faces and then telling us it's raining.
00:28:54.000What do you think, and I'm asking all of these serious questions, maybe because I'm surrounded by Ian's crystals and I'm trying to bring unity to the country, but what are your thoughts on, I feel like Democrats and Republicans, they never come together to talk about, hey, how can we together Help with these shootings, these mass shootings.
00:29:16.000Or what are better law enforcement tactics?
00:29:18.000Obviously we just saw a complete disaster happen in Texas.
00:29:22.000And what ends up happening is it becomes, we want to take all your guns, don't take my guns.
00:29:26.000And we stop talking about people's safety, right?
00:29:29.000And so you again, coming from law enforcement, I feel like whenever Republicans on the news are asked about what we should do, we're not They don't really get asked about tactics, they just have to automatically be on their heels and defend, you know, the Second Amendment essentially.
00:29:46.000So, do you see any sort of compromise or what would you do with your experience?
00:29:55.000I think mental illness is a serious issue in our country, quite honestly.
00:29:59.000Is there anything you think needs to change when it comes to gun control, gun legislation,
00:30:05.000or do you think it's more a mental health thing, etc., etc.?
00:30:08.000I think mental illness is a serious issue in our country.
00:30:11.000Quite honestly, just look at everything you see on television today, it seems to be a
00:30:20.000If you have children, it's painful to watch it.
00:30:22.000I don't even, quite honestly, like even talking about it.
00:30:25.000But when you talk about these red flag laws, and if you look at, there's 19 states, I believe, that have red flag laws in our country.
00:30:31.000And some of those states are Illinois and New York and here in District of Columbia, Washington, D.C.
00:30:37.000And they have those red flag laws and they're very, they're some of the most strict gun laws you can have in the country.
00:30:42.000It talks about waiting periods and And keeping guns out of the mentally ill and domestic abusers and even talking about private sales transactions 72-hour waiting periods.
00:31:39.000I mean, what's so frustrating hearing both you guys is that, you know, when I lived in the very rugged neighborhood of Park Slope, Brooklyn, I, you know, all of my friends had never shot a gun.
00:31:55.000Anytime there was a shooting, we would essentially just assume any Republican would rather, oh, play with their toy guns than, like, save children's lives because we didn't know anyone.
00:32:40.000From TimCast.com, SCOTUS strikes down New York State's proper cause gun control law.
00:32:47.000Justice Thomas says 2nd and 14th, 2nd and 14th amendments protect an individual's right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.
00:32:56.000And the reason I wanted to jump into the story too is we're getting into the gun control conversation.
00:33:02.000One of the statements made by Alito was that the argument from the gun control side was that these laws are needed to prevent mass shootings.
00:33:13.000And he said, one of those happened in New York where you have this law.
00:33:36.000Did you Google this before you wrote it or shared it?
00:33:39.000Right, well, and that was the reason I even asked.
00:33:41.000The congressman is because you're literally seeing people on the left just accuse, if you're not pro-gun control, that you just are cool with murder, instead of asking people with experience with firearms, hey, what do you, as someone who has more experience than me, who's never touched a gun, what do you actually think we should do?
00:34:02.000Yeah, I tell you what, the laws are there.
00:34:16.000And I tell you what, the crime in Houston is out of control, and people are starting to carry more guns.
00:34:22.000You're seeing, you know, sales increasing guns.
00:34:25.000Because if people can't count on their government to keep them safe.
00:34:29.000George Soros has gone out there and all these DAs are in these offices now across our country and they're leaving these criminals out.
00:34:36.000So these people, I think the American people, are starting to carry more weapons because they say, I can't count on my government to keep me safe.
00:34:42.000I have to keep myself safe and my family.
00:34:44.000And I can't blame them because it's out of control.
00:34:49.000Are the places with more people carrying, do they become safer because of that sort of fear tactic?
00:34:56.000I'll tell you this, when I finally moved to southern states, I certainly don't honk my horn as much when I'm cut off, because I'm like, I don't know what that guy's carrying.
00:35:08.000But I'm just saying that criminals would have to kind of pause a little bit, take a second, think, hey, am I going to pull a gun on that guy?
00:35:35.000You should have come out and been like the government.
00:35:38.000The government requiring permission for you to bear arms is an infringement upon your right to bear arms.
00:35:44.000However, he's of the opinion the government can not stop you from having it, but they can be forced to grant permission, which in my opinion makes no sense because if they can deny you a permit for any reason, then government permission as a requirement infringes upon your rights.
00:35:57.000But this does mean that it's likely going to impact Maryland, New Jersey.
00:36:02.000Obviously, it's New York, California, Hawaii, and the District of Columbia.
00:36:05.000So this means, in all likelihood, these states will now have to actually give you a permit.
00:36:10.000It's already prohibitively—it's restrictive in terms of what you need to do to apply for one.
00:36:16.000So while this is a good ruling, the problem is Maryland is not—so here's how it works.
00:36:20.000Maryland, New York, New Jersey, they say, OK, you filled the forms, you got the training, why do you need the weapon?
00:36:27.000And this is what the Supreme Court struck down.
00:36:47.000I'm like, what more could you ask for?
00:36:49.000If you're famous, if you're rich, some of these states will give them to you, but New Jersey and New York still don't, even if you're rich and famous.
00:36:55.000I got rejected and I just said revenge.
00:37:10.000So basically what's happening now is, the next move's in my opinion, it's a good victory, it's tremendous, but what's likely going to happen is that New Jersey and New York will just create very restrictive permitting practices.
00:37:39.000You know, I made it very clear that I will not be supporting this legislation coming through the Senate, and it's just, it's very difficult.
00:37:47.000You think that all the laws that are out there, if you think creating more laws are going to keep the criminals from carrying weapons, they don't care.
00:37:56.000They don't care about your Supreme Court.
00:37:58.000They don't care about the Chief of Police or any laws.
00:38:00.000They're going to continue to carry these weapons.
00:38:02.000They're going to continue to hurt and harm the American people.
00:38:08.000The people that are out there doing good things.
00:38:10.000The criminals have the guns and they're not giving them up.
00:38:19.000So, you mean to tell me that, you know, so one, constitutional carry is relatively new, but you actually encountered people who defied the law and carried weapons?
00:39:43.000So in Chicago, for instance, they're like, well, it's not Chicago's fault they're doing the shootings, they're getting the guns from Indiana.
00:39:49.000And it's like, what more law could you put in Illinois if you've already got them?
00:40:12.000a gun and shot and killed him and the siblings of the robber they were
00:40:17.000outraged on the news they're actually on the news the sister was saying this is
00:40:22.000ridiculous I know he went in and robbed him but he shouldn't have been shot he
00:40:25.000was pointing a gun at the clerk the clerk had a gun and shot and killed this
00:40:28.000guy so this is the type of similar story years ago I just want to make one point really quickly about this.
00:40:36.000This is one of the really interesting and obvious flaws with the left is they want to be really, really, really harsh on potential crime, which is to say going after people who haven't done anything wrong because there's a potential that they might.
00:40:52.000And then when someone actually commits a crime, they want to be really lenient about it.
00:40:58.000Do you see the story of the woman in the cell phone store?
00:41:00.000And the guy walks in and she goes, hi, can I help you?
00:42:11.000They write articles saying, in defense of looting.
00:42:14.000After the Ferguson riots, they were like, actually, looting is revolutionary, and they're defying the system.
00:42:19.000And I'm just like, you know, did you talk to any people who lived in Ferguson?
00:42:22.000Because they were angry about the rioting, begging for it to stop.
00:42:26.000And then these progressive urban liberal types, city urban liberal types, come out and write articles being like, actually, the rioting is good, because they're vapid, Self-interested egotists.
00:42:35.000who don't understand what's actually going on. I'll tell you, in Ferguson, people who did not
00:42:41.000live there exploited the chaos and started destroying things and looting them. And the
00:42:46.000people who did live there were linking arms saying, please, this is our community.
00:42:51.000These snooty, progressive, hipster types in New York, not wanting to do any amount of work to
00:42:57.000understand the situation, looked at it and said, I'm going to defend those brown people because
00:43:01.000there must be a good reason why they're rioting, and then wrote in defense of looting. And what
00:43:07.000it really was was criminals victimizing a community, and they defended the criminals
00:43:14.000What happened to George Floyd was horrific.
00:43:16.000I remember seeing footage of, during the rioting, two black women begging.
00:43:24.000Begging a white person to stop destroying property.
00:43:28.000And it's like, hey, these are the ones who, when you tourists, when you hipster tourists go back to your co-op and Park Slope and all that stuff, they're the ones who still have to live here.
00:44:14.000I mean, you'll scare all the moose if you honk in Canada.
00:44:16.000Let me ask you, Congressman, do you think that should Republicans regain control of the House, assuming they do regain control of the House, probably the Senate, should there be an investigation into the 2020 riots maybe?
00:44:30.000I know you mentioned there's probably not gonna be a lot of energy towards these things as they're old, but I feel like we need a resolution.
00:44:35.000There should be, because I think a lot of the agitators in the 2020 riots, what we're finding out is many of these people are being paid.
00:44:42.000They're not even from the neighborhood.
00:44:46.000They're being paid by these organizations on the far left to go out there and do damage and hurt our country.
00:44:52.000If you saw what took place here a couple weeks ago when they had the leak with the Supreme Court ruling, the Roe vs. Wade, You saw some of the things in I think it was in California someplace maybe LA that seems to be the and and there were cop cars that had windows being smashed and I'm like the knucklehead break in that window on that car has no earthly idea what the hell Roe versus Wade is.
00:47:09.000This is the making of an action movie where it's like we are going to get locked in and either turn on each other or become the heroes New York City has been waiting for.
00:47:18.000Someone's going to eat the last Snickers.
00:47:51.000I just want to stress this one more time, like, they added an extra day to do opinions tomorrow, and it seems like it may be, like, why else would they do that?
00:48:01.000They have the next week to do the final opinions.
00:49:46.000Man, I also, you know, it's just, we...
00:49:52.000I feel like the rioting is sort of the on the street equivalent of what happens on Twitter where it's like, do you actually want something to get done?
00:50:51.000And yeah, and that's, that's where I'm at.
00:50:53.000So we've got this lefty guy who's going to be speaking on the same panel as us at the Beacon Theatre, and he had to put out a video explaining why he was doing it.
00:51:51.000And what we're teaching our kids, in my humble opinion, when you see what took place with the summer riots in 2020, it seems like if we disagree now, all of a sudden we curl up our fists and we hit each other in the nose.
00:52:02.000And I think it's going in the wrong direction.
00:52:05.000What are we teaching these kids to think, hey, if you can't resolve it, just go in there and hit them in the nose.
00:52:11.000And 2020 was bad, but we are one, Tim.
00:52:14.000We are one police shooting away from having an enormous civil unrest.
00:52:20.000If it's a white officer that shoots an African-American, and there's any questionable call there, Al Sharpton has his plane on the tarmac, it's ready to go, he's gonna fire that thing up, he's gonna fly to that area, and he's just gonna go there, and he's gonna be an agitator.
00:53:25.000So it's not even a question of if, if it's like, I mean, the Ahmed Arbery case should be very clear cut in what happened, but they will weaponize it and they will lie about it and they will make it questionable.
00:53:36.000Well, and I think that just like the left needs to keep a lot of their people in check when it comes to rioting, when it comes to destroying property and stuff like that, we also we do have a problem.
00:53:49.000There have been plenty of kids who have lost their life unjustly.
00:53:51.000And we need to talk about that as well.
00:53:53.000Like the one I always think of is Tamir Rice, where it was like you have like a 13 year old kid playing with a toy gun.
00:54:00.000And I think in law enforcement, I think Oh no, is there something I don't know?
00:54:44.000Is there's not a law enforcement officer in America that's going to wake up tomorrow morning and go to work evening shift or night shift that says, I want to go out and legally kill somebody.
00:54:55.000I want to go out there and legally kill somebody.
00:54:57.000It's absolutely ludicrous to think because that officer that has to take that life They're going to live with that for the rest of their life, even if it was a very dangerous situation.
00:56:28.000And then everyone starts filming and it's like... Okay, so you guys are going to hate me, and before the audience hates me, please follow me on Twitter at Jamie Kilstein.
00:56:36.000Subscribe to my podcast, Instagram at the Jamie Kilstein.
00:56:39.000Isn't that more evidence for, one, more police training, and two, if you're going to own a gun?
00:56:45.000So for me, I want to own a gun now, and I've been anti-gun, but I don't want to own a gun until I know Just like with Jiu Jitsu, just like that I can proficiently, that I can be taught and that I can train every week, especially under stress.
00:56:59.000So isn't that also an example of why people should get training before they get a firearm?
00:57:06.000And law enforcement actually maybe needs more training so that even though Tamir Rice, even though maybe the toy gun looked more realistic, that you're confident enough to assess the situation before you just open fire on who turns out to be a kid.
00:57:19.000Everybody wants to go after law enforcement with these shootings.
00:57:21.000How about train the crook, not the point the gun at the law enforcement?
00:58:04.000And that is, is that if you comply, if you comply, to all the criminals out there, the ones that carry guns, they shouldn't have guns, the felons, all these guys are going to go out.
00:58:21.000And when you look at Michael Brown and all these others, I mean, Michael Brown's fingerprint was on the officer's weapon.
00:58:26.000So if you're out there fighting and holding court on the side of the road, this and that, there's a high probability something could go wrong, and it could cost you your life.
00:59:31.000The issue isn't The issue is when an officer is breaking the law, violating their oath to the Constitution.
00:59:37.000But if, this is what really frustrates me too, there's a video where there's like a black dude walking down the street and the cops are like, hey, come and talk to us for a minute, stop.
01:00:15.000Yeah, well, it seems commonsensical though, right?
01:00:17.000And people... So, I've been thinking about this and this is something I've... I don't think I've really discussed on this podcast.
01:00:24.000Or, oh no, actually we did kind of talk about this the other day, but it makes sense in a very polarized environment where people have very different opinions that we're gonna end up...
01:00:33.000Disagreeing on things at such a fundamental level that there are certain issues where we won't be able to reach a compromise, right?
01:00:39.000And so, whether you're talking about abortion or homosexuality, or any of these other issues, when it comes to police, these are not matters of principle.
01:00:50.000These are case-by-case situations that have to be investigated, right?
01:00:54.000If you hear a police officer shot someone, it's not, I'm for that or I'm against that.
01:00:58.000It's, all right, well, let's look into it and see what happened.
01:01:01.000But for whatever reason, We are in a place in this country where people will hear that a police officer shot someone and they will immediately know that he is guilty.
01:01:10.000And not only that he's guilty, but if the person was a minority, that he was guilty and he did it because that person was a minority.
01:01:59.000The issue is how do we deal with these accidents and outliers?
01:02:06.000I think the challenge is we need to actually have a sit-down conversation.
01:02:08.000We need to analyze what causes these and then figure out is there something we can do to make sure they don't happen while making sure cops are safe when they do their jobs.
01:02:16.000There's not a cop that I've ever spoken to that agrees with what Derek Chabin did to George Floyd, that they would agree with that, and he should go to prison.
01:02:26.000But, gentlemen, there are hundreds of thousands of stops made, up to millions, each and every month, each and every month on traffic stops.
01:02:35.000And you're going to find law enforcement officers that make judgment calls, and they could be the wrong call.
01:02:40.000You're going to get some that are going to get scared.
01:02:44.000Why did those guys not go into that building?
01:02:46.000I don't know, but the point is it's a very, very difficult job, and everybody should go through what that media person went through.
01:02:52.000You know, we have police academy training, Citizens Police Academy, it's a FATS training, and they go through and they realize it's just not as easy as it just seems.
01:03:00.000So the point is that there's very, very few officer-involved shootings today.
01:03:05.000I mean, come on, when you look at the number I think it's 375 million interactions per year, something like that.
01:03:10.000police officers firing their weapons and when they do they're scrutinized before
01:03:15.000the damn bullet even hits the you know it's just crazy. I think it's 375
01:03:20.000million interactions per year something like that and out of that there were I
01:03:23.000think what was it nine unarmed black men killed in 2019?
01:03:27.000And even that is a little Because first of all, it's possible to shoot someone who's armed and for that to be unjustified.
01:03:33.000But also, it's possible to shoot an unarmed person and for that to be justified.
01:03:37.000So when you look into these unarmed cases, one of them from a couple years ago I was looking at was he was strangling an old lady and then went to attack the cop.
01:03:44.000Even if you hear the words, unarmed black man shot by police officer, you don't know anything about the story until you know something about the story.
01:03:50.000You see that viral video where the guy's coming at the cop with a knife and he's backing away for like 30 seconds going, no, no!
01:03:57.000But then the guy grabs his partner and he goes, no, no!
01:03:59.000And then he starts shooting the guy and the guy gets shot and it gets back up.
01:04:04.000He gets shot because he's coming at the cop.
01:04:06.000Then after being shot, he grabs his partner and then the cop shoots him in the head.
01:04:11.000It's like people, you know what I think?
01:04:14.000One of the issues is it's the algorithmic psychosis, I call it.
01:04:19.000Let's say you're 10 years old, and the year is 2012, and you open up Facebook, and the only thing you're seeing is police brutality videos.
01:04:29.000Remember that song where it's like, this is what you get when you call the cops, and it's like the guy rapping?
01:04:55.000At 40 years old, it's like the first time I'm talking to conservatives or law enforcement.
01:05:02.000And by the way, all the law enforcement friends I have said the exact same thing that you said about the George Floyd murder, where they were the most horrified.
01:05:13.000And I think if we got rid of this us-versus-them mentality, then we could let Let the good cops speak up and be like, that shouldn't have happened.
01:05:24.000And then they go continue to be good cops.
01:05:26.000I think, I think there are issues, but I think with 375 million interactions, we're talking about like a microscopic fraction of, of error.
01:05:33.000And so there's something else that I refer to as the scaling problem.
01:06:00.000So if you have, you know, 375 million police interactions, The acceptable margin of error decreases as time goes on.
01:06:11.000If you had 100 cops in the United States, and 1% brutalized someone, that's one cop.
01:06:16.000People would be like, it was just one cop, who cares?
01:06:18.000I'm waiting for... You get 100 million cops, and now you got a million police brutality stories, people are gonna lose their mind, which means you've got to reduce the margin of error as you scale up the size.
01:06:35.000We're just going to completely abolish them.
01:06:37.000But I think a majority, a solid majority of the American people support the men and women in blue.
01:06:44.000It's that small group that's out there just raising cane and just causing problems.
01:06:49.000Well, I was going to say, I can speak as someone who, you know, during the emotion of everything that happened with George Floyd, I was listening to a lot of the defund the police people until I moved to Texas and I started talking to more police.
01:07:05.000And police were saying, hey dude, we don't like what happened either.
01:07:09.000We actually, if you defund us, that's less training.
01:08:18.000I do want to add, though, I'm a little salty on cops, considering what happened with COVID.
01:08:22.000Because too many cops, for one, I'll say a few things.
01:08:25.000Cops enforcing unconstitutional gun laws, I think, is a problem.
01:08:29.000And during COVID, cops enforcing unconstitutional edict was a huge problem.
01:08:33.000And the one thing that was a big wake-up call for conservatives, and why a lot of Trump supporters and conservatives soured on support for cops, was because we saw cafe owners, salon owners, while the Democrats— A ton of jam owners, yep.
01:08:46.000When you had the Democrats releasing prisoners and inmates who commit violent crimes and then taking business owners and putting them back in, people got really pissed off about that.
01:08:57.000I tell you, where did you see that though?
01:09:00.000You saw that in these large municipalities where there are police departments that work for a chief of police who works for the mayor and the city council.
01:10:15.000Chiefs of Police, their tenure as chief is because a new mayor comes in, he wants to bring in his own pet, you know, his own buddy.
01:10:20.000Well, there's always a cop that they have to deal with who doesn't play by the rules and he's going to retire soon and then they get into it.
01:10:26.000I was hoping someone picked up on that.
01:10:30.000I was really proud of it, and as I was saying it, I was like, oh, it's dying!
01:10:33.000But no, you said something earlier about how you think most people actually do support the police.
01:10:40.000Part of why I would agree with that is because people as spineless as Joe Biden during his State of the Union address were willing to say, well, we need the police to be well-funded, which is what Joe Biden said during his State of the Union address.
01:12:20.000So it's not just about Joe Rogan and Elon Musk, it's about everyone they bring with them.
01:12:24.000And then when, you know, Jamie, you end up moving there, you got Michael Malice, you get these prominent individuals, comedians and podcasters, then the periphery of those groups are going to come as well.
01:12:44.000But what's going to happen is a California conservative is a far left Texan.
01:12:49.000And they come in and they'll vote Republican because they don't like California leftism, which is coming to Texas, and they'll make Texas moderate, not Republican.
01:13:36.000You think by November, it's going to be just like, you think the polls are wrong and it's going to be a crazy blowout we've never seen before?
01:13:43.000A Republican supermajority or something?
01:13:44.000Yeah, I think you'll see probably gaining 30, 35 seats.
01:13:59.000Because if the polls have been consistently skewed in favor of Democrats, and right now in the generic ballot Republicans are up about three points, they're probably up 10.
01:14:49.000That's why they're so desperate to try and bring Trump back to life.
01:14:52.000Yeah, and I think right now our country, when you look at when Trump was president for the four years, I mean, we didn't have all these crises.
01:16:47.000I mean, yeah, nicknames and people don't like the way he calls names, but overall, and I tell you, when he come up with build that wall, build that wall, that really energized his campaign.
01:16:58.000And so I just think that you can't buy him.
01:18:30.000They don't like maybe some of the stuff he said about John McCain and when he was a prisoner of war and all that other stuff.
01:18:34.000And I try to, and I, well, just there's some other things, but I've always said, I said, you guys, you're not electing your neighbor, and we're not electing the Pope.
01:18:43.000We're electing the President of the United States, and when you look at his policies and the results of those policies, Ukraine would be the prime example.
01:21:03.000And I'm like, that is one of the most profound acts of leadership someone could take to try and end a war.
01:21:11.000They could have captured the President of the United States, and they could have done whatever they wanted, and Trump walked in with Kim Jong-un and walked back, and I was just, I was shocked.
01:21:21.000It's like, if Dennis Rodman can do it, I'm gonna do it.
01:21:23.000But I mean, in all seriousness, I mean, you're the President of the United States, walking into what should be perceived as hostile territory, I'm like, this is amazing!
01:21:32.000And then, what happened was, his second-term agenda came out, and I was like, school choice, get rid of these, uh, cult, these critical race theory garbage stuff, and I'm just like, This dude's done well.
01:22:10.000I mean, there are so many instances where, and that doesn't mean suddenly you have to disavow them.
01:22:15.000That doesn't mean you have to go from Democrat to Republican or Republican to Democrat.
01:22:18.000It just means have the political courage to stand in your conviction and call out your side when your side is wrong in order to make your side better and hold it accountable.
01:22:29.000And then we can actually have a more honest political discourse.
01:22:32.000One million percent, and I really just want to hit on this point.
01:22:35.000I made sort of a little joke alluding to it, but the president of the United States sniffs children.
01:22:41.000And we're used to it, like we don't think of it as being that out of the ordinary.
01:22:45.000It's just, you know, it's almost become a hackneyed punchline, but the president sniffs children.
01:22:58.000It appears that most people, too, they look at him like a grandfather figure, and they almost kind of feel for him, like, this is Grandpa Joe, you know?
01:24:27.000Oh, sorry. I was gonna say I just love the meme where the left says Joe Biden doesn't control gas
01:24:35.000prices, idiot, but Joe Biden's going to enact policies to lower gas prices. It's like, what?
01:24:41.000So can he enact policies to make them higher? No, but he can make them lower. Okay, dude, whatever.
01:24:46.000And so I try to keep a sort of a larger perspective in.
01:24:51.000And so, you know, under the Obama administration, I remember thinking like, I really, really don't like Obama.
01:24:56.000But you know, we had FDR, we had Woodrow Wilson, maybe Obama isn't the worst president we've had.
01:25:01.000Joe Biden may actually be the worst president in all of American history.
01:25:05.000I mean, at least the really, really bad ones like Wilson and FDR knew what day of the week it was.
01:25:10.000Jimmy Carter will appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, Jimmy Carter.
01:25:14.000I mean, even Carter, I would say, I would say Biden's worse than Carter. Granted, I don't
01:25:18.000know as much about Jimmy Carter, but he's really bad. I mean, there's something, usually
01:25:23.000when we rank a president, we're just sort of looking at them as a set of policies.
01:25:28.000That's what we seem to do nowadays, which is kind of bizarre because this is a person who's supposed to be a leader and character does mean something when you're a leader.
01:25:35.000But with Joe Biden, it's not just that all of his policies have been horrible for the country.
01:25:39.000It's that He is experiencing serious cognitive decline.
01:26:40.000Well, I'm just saying that, you know what, I don't know if she wanted to be the first lady so bad and have that power, or if she wanted to make sure that her husband reached that pinnacle, but I'm really frustrated with her because she knows her husband better than anybody, and she knew he was going to be like this, but she didn't care.
01:26:58.000And now the American people are paying for this thing.
01:28:03.000They used to joke about Reagan, and they would say, you know, towards the end of Reagan's presidency, he experienced some cognitive decline, and that was sort of a little jab they'd make at Republicans.
01:28:12.000Look, a person you elected back when they were mentally healthy ended up experiencing cognitive decline.
01:28:17.000How irresponsible is your party that he wasn't immediately removed from power?
01:28:20.000During the primaries, Joe Biden was clearly demented or suffering with Alzheimer's.
01:28:27.000His brain was not functioning at like any point.
01:28:30.000And I say this like, look, if I was discussing any other senior citizen experiencing cognitive decline, I would probably take a more somber approach to this.
01:28:39.000But this is the president, and they knew this.
01:28:41.000They put the man in this position knowing his brain does not work.
01:28:46.000Stop being ageist and ableist, Seamus.
01:28:52.000Yeah, whenever they show like Obama, and they're like, this is how he looked in the beginning of his presidency, and then they show him with gray hair, it's like, yo, Joe Biden started looking rough.
01:30:29.000And I think, you know, there's something to be said for the fact that no, Joe Biden is not the sole culprit here, but he was part of the establishment that led to all of these problems.
01:30:38.000It's not like he's just some fall guy who had nothing to do with this.
01:30:41.000That card he's holding up, we are literally in Weekend at Biden's.
01:31:20.000Let's see the the press secretary tells that oh here we go it's nothing that they can yeah Hold on guys this is important Because you guys need to know you guys need to here we go you ready that nation that can be defined in a single word I was gonna put him What is... And then he ends up saying at the foothills of the Himalayas.
01:31:59.000Here's the thing, I would feel bad for him if, like, alright, first of all, if he wasn't a horrible person doing horrible things who should have stepped down.
01:32:07.000And also, if we were being gaslit about this, he has a speech impediment, excuse me?
01:33:30.000That if he would seek another term, and if you look at what happened with the election in 2020 and the way that thing was handled and managed, and you start giving everybody ballots, You could see, I mean- I wasn't- I'll need an effective strategy to mobilize true international pressure!
01:36:19.000It was on one of these news networks, you know, MSNBS or CNN or whatever.
01:36:22.000And they're going, How how how do you think children with lisps are going to feel when they see the way you're making fun of the president or the Potential president for the way he speaks.
01:36:32.000It's like what that's not No, a lisp does not make you say poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids That's not how a lisp works.

01:37:05.000We got documentaries coming, all that good stuff.
01:37:08.000All right, let's read some Super Chats!
01:37:10.000Matthew Reckamp says, new report on Yuvaldi.
01:37:13.000I swear, the more I hear about what those officers did, or more specifically didn't do, the more I'm convinced they should be charged not as accessories, but as accomplices.
01:37:22.000I was saying this before, I was saying either on accident or on purpose, they helped this guy.
01:37:26.000It's great, because they were stopping people.
01:37:29.000Daryl Lyon says, first and obligatory civil war.
01:37:36.000Micro Sapple says, you never told us about the anti-Ben Shapiro doorknob.
01:37:41.000So when we got, uh, we had to evacuate because we had a credible threat.
01:39:05.000I'm not your buddy guy says you've mentioned the shadow campaign numerous times when analyzing Did you ask yourself if signature verification is removed?
01:39:25.000This is one of the biggest challenges with all of these big stories, especially with Epstein, is the average person doesn't know about it.
01:39:31.000So I would say the shadow campaign was a Time magazine article where they claimed that a bunch of powerful interests got together to defeat Donald Trump in 2020.
01:39:39.000If they remove signature verification, it would mean that there would be a higher rate of acceptance among mail-in votes.
01:40:23.000I certainly don't, but it was clever lawfare over a year.
01:40:27.000It wasn't weird stories about the CIA in Germany and like watermarked ballots or Chinese ballots or anything like that.
01:40:34.000I think it was just, they pulled out all the stops and said, what legal hurdles do we need to overcome to make sure we get as many ballots in for our guy?
01:40:41.000And they did it and it worked for them.
01:40:43.000I genuinely believe people voted for Joe Biden because people did not like Donald Trump.
01:40:49.000Alright, but let's just, you know, read some more Superchats.
01:40:52.000Matthew Thomas says, I'm getting real tired of the Republicans holding the moral high ground.
01:40:56.000If they don't return in kind when they get power, I'll only vote Libertarian from here out.
01:41:38.000Look, if you watch the vlog, while I've said I've been having a good time here on the podcast, would I like to be hired back at some of these left-leaning places that aren't taking my calls?
01:41:50.000You know, watch the vlog and find out.
01:41:52.000Did I briefly think that Vice wanted an interview?
01:41:56.000If you want to watch the first episode of the vlog, I believe it is called Woke journalist tries to cancel transphobic skater to work at Vice.
01:44:37.000You're responsible for whatever happens, but there's nothing stopping you from shooting on your property.
01:44:41.000I'm a huge, I've been a huge advocate of the staff here going on shooting field trips and also all learning jujitsu and just turning into animals.
01:45:51.000We got Chris Pavotto says, My seven-year-old son has Down syndrome.
01:45:56.000Why are red states slow to fund special therapies and services with Medicaid for family members needing assistance, while blue states fund more?
01:46:06.000I did research this because moving to Texas, please help.
01:46:10.000Well, and I feel horrible about that, and I think we certainly should help America's families that have children with special needs.
01:46:17.000So, the only thing I could say is please reach out to my office.
01:46:21.000I don't know where you live, I don't know what district you're in, but you can please reach out to my office and we'll do what we can to address that issue.
01:46:28.000I don't have an answer for you right now, but I think it's good that we could engage.
01:46:34.000All right, IDG says Shelley Moore Crepito and other senators can be recalled by state legislatures the way the founders intended if we repeal the 17th amendment.
01:46:44.000Keep that on billboards and you will shake up the uniparty.
01:46:47.000Yeah, so, you know the 17th Amendment, right?
01:46:51.000We used to have it, it used to be that the state legislature would vote, they would appoint the senators who would go up to the federal government.
01:46:58.000And then for a variety of reasons, namely what they said was fear of corruption, because legislators would then be like, I'll do a favor for you, I can do what I want.
01:47:12.000I think that if our senator was based on the state legislatures, people would be more paying attention to their state races, to their local elections, which is substantially more important for where you live than federal elections.
01:47:54.000I mean, you could sit here, and I know you guys know the name Ray Epps and the scaffold commander, but Ray Epps, he still hasn't been arrested, so there's a lot of questions that need to be asked, but you're not getting it from this J6 committee.
01:48:06.000You're going to get it from us, though.
01:48:07.000You're going to get it from the five of us that are on this shadow committee, and I talk about it in my book.
01:48:50.000That's why I'm proud to be part of that Freedom Caucus, because I stay true to myself, I stay true to my voters, and believe it or not, what that does for me is I can sleep with a clear conscience, and I sleep like a baby as a result.
01:49:03.000Yeah, we like the Freedom Caucus guys.
01:49:06.000You know, I like when Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massey were talking about how they have somebody on rotation to make sure that whenever there's a vote, they call all the Congress people to come and actually vote on it.
01:49:18.000So, a lot of people didn't know this until we had Marjorie Taylor Greene on, that a lot of the votes on bills are like, just proxy.
01:49:24.000It's like there's a handful of Democrats and Republicans and they're just like, meh.
01:49:27.000and then no one actually comes in and votes on these bills in Congress.
01:49:31.000So when she mentioned that she calls for a floor vote to make everyone come down,
01:49:35.000people were cheering, like, make them do their jobs.
01:49:38.000Yeah, they call that the roll call vote. There's been a lot of proxy voting because of COVID.
01:49:42.000I think when we take over the House, I think Lyndon McCarthy will do away with the proxy voting.
01:50:10.000Clarence Thomas said requiring someone to state a reason as to why they need to defend themselves is a violation of the Second Amendment and the Fourteenth.
01:50:20.000So this should impact California that they are required If they're going to have a concealed carry permit, I believe they basically have to know.
01:50:31.000If you can check all the boxes off on their criteria, they have to give you the permit.
01:50:37.000And your right extends outside the home, so this is big as well.
01:50:40.000So you can walk around with that concealed carry so long as you get your permit.
01:50:44.000Or you can move to Texas or West Virginia and you don't need one.
01:50:47.000Hey, Congressman, can I actually ask you a gun question, too, when it comes to lefty talking points that I'm sure there is a counter to that I've never heard in my life when it comes to background checks or issues like this that happen with the Supreme Court?
01:51:01.000Are those also far more or far less effective than people on the left think, where we think maybe it'll solve everything if there is a longer waiting period, if there are stricter background checks, red flag laws and things like that?
01:51:13.000Does that actually help or is it just Well, I don't know, Jamie.
01:51:19.000I do know that people that have gone to purchase a firearm that had a background check have been denied for one reason or another.
01:51:26.000So, no, I think the background checks are effective.
01:51:29.000I mean, I know firsthand, because I've talked to people that have been rejected for one reason or another.
01:51:34.000Maybe it was a criminal offense, maybe even 20, 25 years ago, and then they have to work through that process.
01:51:39.000So, I believe the background checks are a good thing, and I think the American people support them.
01:51:43.000All right, Captain Tanker Joe says, I think the diesel shortage is going to be worse than expected.
01:51:50.000I've seen fuel jump 10 to 15 cents overnight.
01:51:53.000I've seen videos of people saying they've been stopped for days waiting for fuel already.
01:51:57.000The shortage is starting already, I'm afraid.
01:51:59.000I did see some tweets from people saying that some gas stations have run out of gas.
01:52:04.000It could just be because sometimes gas stations run out of gas.
01:52:07.000However, we are hearing a lot in the news that there's gonna be a diesel shortage, and that's gonna result in food prices going through the roof because farmers need diesel to actually tend to the crops to harvest.
01:52:18.000So it's gonna have a massive ripple effect.
01:52:21.000A lot of people tell me never to say this, but I just bought more emergency food.
01:52:25.000Just, you know, full disclosure, I did.
01:52:27.000Got these buckets, they last 25 years.
01:52:28.000Because my worst case scenario is, well, the worst case scenario is I guess the apocalypse happens and you need to eat them.
01:52:34.000The best case scenario is you got Fuji's to eat it anyway.
01:52:40.000Wandering Mage says, During the House Judiciary meeting on the omnibus, gun control rep Nadler went ballistic at the idea of raising the draft age.
01:52:48.000He yelled about national security, but it felt like he sees us as his toy soldiers, and the draft.
01:53:09.000I've tried to work with him to get some legislation to his committee because, folks, if you don't understand, if you want to get anything on the House, if you want to get a vote on the House floor, you've got to go through the Committee of Jurisdiction.
01:53:20.000I've tried to do some things in law enforcement-related matters, criminal justice reform, and Jerry Lander just doesn't want to hear any of it.
01:53:27.000So, I don't have a whole lot of love for him because I think he's out of tune and out of touch.
01:53:32.000Oh yeah, remember when he said Antifa was just an idea or whatever?
01:53:35.000Alright, Rory F. says, Rep Nails, are you re-electing McCarthy as Majority Leader?
01:53:42.000I see a lot of lobbyist money that's also going to the DCCC and major Dem bills.
01:53:46.000You know, that's a great question, and we were talking about that the other day, and I'm a realist, and I'm telling you right now that Leader McCarthy has raised an enormous amount of money, it's record amount of money, to help get the majority.
01:54:15.000But he doesn't want to impeach you either.
01:54:16.000If the American people, I don't know if he does want to or not, but if the American people, and you are going to give us the gavel back, we have to take care of it because Republicans are sick and tired of this.
01:54:26.000When we had both chambers of Congress, when we had Paul Ryan, we had both chambers, we had Donald Trump, what did we do for our southern border?
01:54:33.000Donald Trump had to do it on his own through executive order.
01:54:36.000So I just think that the Republican Party better be very, very careful that if we don't take care of that gavel and do right for the American people and start putting the American people first, we're going to end up giving it right back and we're going to lose the confidence of the American people.
01:54:50.000I think McCarthy said he didn't want to impeach Biden.
01:56:06.000Some of them require more metal parts than others.
01:56:09.000The first, I believe, was the Liberator, and it was basically a single-shot 9mm or something.
01:56:14.000But they've advanced the technology of 3D-printed guns, where they've got, like... People have been telling me, almost entirely plastic-based, 3D-printed.
01:57:20.000Who would play the leading role, Jamie?
01:57:22.000I mean, obviously the very tall and handsome Jamie Kilstein.
01:57:28.000Tina Colette says, why does no one ever point out that the two teens who got gunned down in the Chazz were running for safety from just having carjacked the Jeep they were driving?
01:58:37.000Maybe he's doing it for Mega Month with us.
01:58:40.000Well, this was back like they had a party at the White House.
01:58:42.000And everyone thought it was a grand conspiracy.
01:58:43.000And I'm like, dude, if a guy from Chicago is having a party for all of his friends and he spends 30 grand to fly out this expensive food, he's rich.
01:59:39.000Yeah, so we were ordering them for a while and deep dish pizza is like a big layer of cheese with sauce on top and you get a sauce pack to make it saucier.
01:59:45.000Now there's no sauce pack and it looks like there's a layer of dough on top.
02:01:25.000Well, the story that came out today, I think it came out today, about the husband or boyfriend who was armed and was stopped by the police who wanted to go in and save his wife or girlfriend who was killed was just gutting.
02:02:25.000We need to put law enforcement officers in our school.
02:02:27.000Trained law enforcement officers in our school as well.
02:02:30.000So I think that's a step in the right direction.
02:02:32.000But I think it's sad that the left, every time you have a tragedy like this take place, they try to exploit those deaths and then they try to trample on people like me and my rights as an American citizen.
02:02:43.000The NFA basically makes it prohibitively expensive for people to get short-barreled rifles, suppressors, and select-fire rifles.
02:02:52.000Well, listen, I support the idea of having suppressors because I have such hearing loss now.
02:02:59.000And so I think that, listen, I support the Second Amendment.
02:03:06.000And I don't believe that our government should be toying with this and playing with this.
02:03:10.000I tried buying suppressors and I haven't been able to get them because it's literally impossible because of the NFA.
02:03:17.000So the requirements to actually get an NFA item for me would require me to stop working.
02:03:24.000And so I get it, it's my choice to run a company, but because of the rules set forth and the amount of time it takes, I'm not able to get them.
02:03:33.000I think I should be able to go into a gun store and say, I'll take one suppressor, please.
02:03:37.000And they hand it to me and I put it in a box and that's it.
02:05:28.000Uh, you guys can follow me on Twitter at jamiekilstein on Instagram at thejamiekilstein.
