00:00:00.000 Hey, what's up? I'm Tony Gonzalez.
00:00:01.540 And I'm October Gonzalez.
00:00:02.940 But you can call me Toby.
00:00:04.000 We want you to join us on our new podcast,
00:00:06.660 No Safe Words with October and Tony Gonzalez.
00:00:08.960 Where we get real about marriage, parenthood, sex, divorce,
00:00:12.520 and all the nitty gritty stuff we all think about.
00:00:14.980 But just don't say it out loud.
00:00:16.060 You're probably just gonna be some rich guy
00:00:17.460 and he's gonna whisk you away.
00:00:19.740 This is awkward.
00:00:20.840 Listen to No Safe Words with October and Tony Gonzalez
00:00:23.640 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast,
00:00:26.600 or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:00:29.360 Black Lit.
00:00:30.680 October is Black Fiction Month, and the Black Lit Podcast explores the minds of Sebo Campbell.
00:00:36.640 How speculative fiction works as you enter into a story with a question.
00:00:40.380 Nisi Shaw.
00:00:41.300 What kind of world would it be if these people had not perished?
00:00:46.520 And Octavia Butler.
00:00:48.320 In science fiction and fantasy, I can do absolutely anything.
00:00:51.580 As they pose the question, what if?
00:00:53.880 Listen to Black Lit on the Black Effect Podcast Network on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:01:00.380 What up? This is Jay Valentine, co-host of the R&B Money Podcast, alongside my brother, R&B legend, Tank.
00:01:06.160 Together, we've built a space for artists, executives, and fans of R&B music to reminisce and tell the real stories behind the music.
00:01:12.800 I have no money. I was hood famous.
00:01:14.580 They think you're going to get everybody out.
00:01:15.640 We lived in a project. Real Love came out.
00:01:17.780 They're hearing the music, and we had nothing.
00:01:19.720 From Smokey Robinson to Mary J. Blige, B2K to Jill Scott, if you're a super dedicated R&B fan, this is where you belong.
00:01:26.600 Listen to R&B Money from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:01:34.300 The miles change how you move, but more importantly, they change how you show up for your life.
00:01:39.240 I'm Emily Abadi.
00:01:40.140 On the Hurdle with Emily Abadi podcast, I sit down with elite athletes, record holders, coaches, and everyday runners to unpack the mindset behind pushing through when things get tough.
00:01:50.400 Because the discipline, grace, and grit you build out there on the pavement, that's what helps you show up as your best self everywhere else.
00:01:57.820 I just love to say I never know who's watching.
00:01:59.800 So you want to make sure you you through and through and you just stay true to who you are.
00:02:04.160 Listen to Hurdle with Emily Abadi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:02:10.740 There's radical beliefs, but they met in the middle and they compromised to get something done.
00:02:15.740 We have done that so much.
00:02:16.640 And you're saying we're moving on past that?
00:02:19.640 I think it's time. We're done compromising.
00:02:22.800 No more compromising.
00:02:23.400 That's a dangerous thought.
00:02:24.940 That's what I'm getting.
00:02:26.220 A compromising has already got us to where we are.

00:06:42.480 Did you bring your guns?
00:06:44.320 I can't tell you that.
00:06:45.660 Are you carrying right now?
00:06:46.660 I can't tell you that.
00:06:47.480 Is that how it works?
00:06:47.880 I never disclose if I'm carrying.
00:06:51.100 Never.
00:06:52.720 No, she's probably speaking from a lawful.
00:06:55.160 That's probably how it's supposed to be. 0.99
00:06:57.620 California gun laws are strict, though.
00:07:00.240 I know. 0.82
00:07:00.600 And you came here via airplane, fuselage.
00:07:03.480 You can bring a gun on an airplane.
00:07:05.080 It's just got to be pulled apart, yeah?
00:07:07.260 And stowed away in the luggage.
00:07:10.500 Do they give you a hard time at the airports when you do that?
00:07:14.140 No.
00:07:14.640 No, never, actually.
00:07:15.780 Well, one time, I think it was Delta.
00:07:19.060 They were supposed to put my luggage with my firearm in the office.
00:07:23.660 And down the carousel it comes, and I'm like, my gun's in there.
00:07:26.920 why do you just have it to where everybody you know could potentially get it because everybody
00:07:31.400 knows who i am so like especially in a cleveland airport eyes are always like that's caitlin
00:07:37.100 bennett so i'd rather them not try to get my luggage and my firearm so who would make sure
00:07:42.860 that all of your luggage made it to the right place and you know all the security protocol
00:07:47.980 was followed if as you've said tsa was not needed or present so it's not that it's not needed it's
00:07:55.380 that it shouldn't be government mandated so i'm all for security at an airport or at an um at an
00:08:02.520 airport airport this was this was the tweet mike was referring to you tweeted this i did went
00:08:07.860 through tsa with my hashtag maga hat on due to to remind everyone that their jobs are disposable
00:08:12.840 and they're non-essential their paychecks come from someone else's paychecks what a world we
00:08:17.140 live in that we accept that hashtag abolish the tsa hashtag taxation is that just for a little
00:08:23.780 context i was a bit curious too when i saw this tweet what's uh tsa seems pretty necessary
00:08:29.160 so like i said it's fine that we have security i just don't think it should be government mandated
00:08:36.540 they have a 95 fail rate they don't do their job 95 of the time they're always stealing stuff
00:08:42.920 where's that uh data from because that would that seems like it would equal out to be a lot of
00:08:48.000 problems on the aircraft uh if 95 of the their job was a failure you know i mean they like i don't
00:08:56.320 know exactly where that comes from but like they go through protocols and like checks it's like
00:09:01.340 kind of like when the general manager of a restaurant comes in and they're like we're
00:09:05.420 gonna act like we're customers so they act like they're passengers and i mean i just got through
00:09:09.560 with safety pins on in my purse like i never take out my liquids they never catch anything
00:09:15.020 that's incredible I've been stripped down
00:09:17.800 time and time again I had a
00:09:19.500 finger very close to my record one time it was
00:09:21.760 very uncomfortable people were filming me
00:09:23.840 it was horrible
00:09:24.820 I come through
00:09:27.960 JFK airport and the TSA there
00:09:29.900 is probably some of the most unfriendly people
00:09:31.920 I've ever met in my entire life never felt as
00:09:33.720 demeaned and just
00:09:34.580 saddened
00:09:37.680 this is horrible
00:09:38.600 is there any way we can make that stop
00:09:40.960 so what are you saying you're saying that it should
00:09:43.800 be a private like a private just like any other security force yeah and i should have like put
00:09:48.660 that on my tweet i should have kind of because this looks bad i felt bad afterwards i even i
00:09:54.500 felt bad and i was like feelings i have feelings and i felt bad because i'm not trying to say that
00:09:59.880 those people were non-disposable or you know what i mean like they're non-essential they are
00:10:05.820 non-disposable but like i felt bad afterwards because i meant to say i meant to portray that
00:10:10.940 that was non-essential for the government to be mandating i'm all for private security that's fine
00:10:17.360 but yeah i should have worded that a lot better i did feel bad so i mean this is my uh only apology
00:10:24.700 that i think i'll ever say to the public wait wait wait there we go yeah you haven't said
00:10:30.480 sorry yet do you want to do it you're like a official apology um let me word this i am sorry
00:10:37.920 that I didn't word it correctly and I hurt people's feelings when I was not attacking the people
00:10:43.760 I was attacking their government jobs very good very good thank you by the way this is a lesson
00:10:50.120 that we have all learned the hard way yeah many times with how you word things in this world and
00:10:55.880 not always even what you say in terms of words but how you say it how you deliver your message
00:11:00.400 it can burn you quite badly absolutely the just fact check the department of homeland security
00:11:06.940 did indeed do a private uh screening to find out that 95 percent of uh things are missed by the
00:11:15.940 tsa wow fact check what was and what was that fact who was the fact check provided by department of
00:11:20.780 homeland security it was an internal yeah what uh that's pretty crazy curious what does that entail 0.93
00:11:26.140 like things are missed uh like liquids uh no weapons yeah and explosives oh shit what i also 0.93
00:11:32.780 don't understand is you know they take water bottles from you if you have water materials 0.93
00:11:36.860 and then they put them all in a bin right next the entire line of people going through tsa if
00:11:43.000 there's like a bomb in there why are you putting it in a case with all the other bombs where 0.98
00:11:48.180 everybody is going through security it was this study done exactly in fucking afghanistan like 0.97
00:11:53.920 where are you finding buckets of bombs and 95 no no but i'm just saying they're not finding that 0.94
00:11:59.620 they're finding they're finding explosive they they did a test so what they probably did is snuck
00:12:05.700 stuff in and they saw what they could get past and they got 95 yeah and my guess is so it's
00:12:11.420 probably a controlled it's probably toothpaste it's probably like stuff like that right and and
00:12:16.400 think about it it's the department of homeland security who owns the contract i'm sure to having
00:12:21.940 tsa yeah so why would they want to give that up but i don't know it doesn't make sense why they
00:12:26.760 would say that the tsa is the one doing that i don't know i don't know maybe that's their way
00:12:33.240 of putting out there that it's not good enough so that they need to implement more right uh
00:12:38.620 security and checks and all that into the airport so maybe that's maybe that's what that is um
00:12:45.760 before you came on this this podcast not to change subjects but uh before you came on this podcast
00:12:51.260 you you had tweeted out that you were coming on impulsive the number i did podcast in the world
00:12:56.500 Yes, that got interesting.
00:12:58.100 Yeah, it did get interesting.
00:12:59.940 Chrissy Teigen responded.
00:13:01.000 I have the tweet right here.
00:13:03.060 You said, I'm extremely excited that I'll be flying out to California in a few weeks.
00:13:06.100 And Chrissy responded.
00:13:07.020 She said, I've just gotten word that the internet does not, in fact, care.

00:13:11.980 Like, that's how many people actually care. 0.92
00:13:13.840 That's Twitter Twittering.

00:13:24.900 Do you not like Chrissy? 1.00
00:13:25.620 i mean i would see articles about her all the time about how like rude she is on twitter and
00:13:31.120 i was like i don't even know who this girl is and then she responds and i'm like out of everything
00:13:34.800 i've done on twitter this is what you respond to does she not like you uh she does not like me
00:13:40.500 that's fine well also like 2019 is the year of rebuilding and relationships so chrissy i want
00:13:47.120 you to know as i've said many times in the past it's all love i have no it will or malice towards
00:13:52.500 chrissy she i mean look she tweeted this she found an opportunity to make a joke and uh portray
00:13:58.300 her views for her community like okay all power to her but but you responded you you're often
00:14:04.200 responding to people on twitter saying things do you get triggered easily do i get triggered easily
00:14:09.360 no i do not you tend to stay chill yeah because if i got triggered over everything that happened
00:14:15.680 on twitter i would not have a good time and then i would not be here right now uh doing this
00:14:22.180 so I wouldn't go out in public so I will say this you trigger people I do yes I do even if I was
00:14:31.540 okay so coming off the airport coming off the airplane I was going through the airport trying
00:14:35.420 to get my luggage and I'm in the bathroom washing my hands and I look up and there's just this 1.00
00:14:40.840 raging feminist and she's just staring at me how do you know she's a feminist just by looking at 1.00
00:14:45.780 her we all know what a feminist looks like we all know what a feminist looks like so she has like 1.00
00:14:51.780 the big eyebrows and like the big glasses and the that sounds like Andre sounds like Andre 1.00
00:14:56.600 sounds like honestly like I so technically I guess I'm a little confused are you a feminist 1.00
00:15:02.640 how did you know she was raging she was mad well I mean like a raging feminist is like someone who 1.00
00:15:13.720 dresses like the stereotypical feminist and they just like go above and beyond so she had like
00:15:19.060 the crazy glasses and just she looked crazy so anyway i'm washing my hands and i look up and
00:15:23.640 she's staring at me when we make eye contact she rolls her eyes and just walks away and i'm like 0.71
00:15:28.080 i'm just washing my hands she wanted the smoke she wanted to what she wanted the smoke she wanted 1.00
00:15:34.260 an argument or a fight maybe but she walked away when we what if she what if she was just a person 1.00
00:15:40.240 that say uses hand sanitizer because she doesn't like when people waste water in the you know like
00:15:44.600 how do you that's disgusting i agree but i'm just trying not to make assumptions i have like a sixth
00:15:51.080 sense when it comes to this because people who like stare at me when they recognize me
00:15:55.860 they don't hide it very well i don't know if you've ever experienced that but like they don't
00:16:00.400 hide it very well when they recognize you your hair is nine feet long yeah that's true and very 0.99

00:16:22.740 sending it you're going for it all the way speaking of hair and the length of it do you uh be careful
00:16:28.720 i word this do you currently own an ar-10 or a long barrel uh semi-automatic weapon yes okay
00:16:37.420 why do you why do you feel the need to own that level of firepower
00:16:43.680 because i want to what well let me actually address that what is the level of firepower
00:16:51.200 of an ar-10 i don't so that's why i'm gonna be really careful because i want to say it's the
00:16:55.420 same fire rate as a handgun yeah same fire rate uh does it does it it probably shoots a little
00:17:00.320 bit larger of a ballistic round right it's a 308 right well and it and it has the ability to do some
00:17:05.000 more damage and it has the ability to put rounds downfield more accurately how's the clip size
00:17:10.760 compared to a handgun big well maybe no no you can get 30 round magazines for a handgun so so
00:17:18.100 from uh those are extended bags though yeah legally yeah okay maybe not in california but
00:17:23.640 in ohio you can so you so it's you own that weapon not out of a need for protection well
00:17:30.040 now I want to make these assumptions, but, but you own it for one of the reasons being because
00:17:34.980 you have the privilege to own it. I have the right to run the right to own it. Yeah. Would,
00:17:39.660 would you consider the, so I use two words there that might not be interchangeable. I'll ask you,
00:17:44.740 do you think that rights are privileges that we've been given? No, we were born with them.
00:17:51.200 Born with privileges. We were born with rights. So, so I look at those rights as privileges
00:17:56.220 being born that's very dangerous it could be but let's let's talk about this being born in this
00:18:00.820 country i look at rights as privileges okay and uh we were we were privileged enough to be born here
00:18:07.320 and be given those rights okay someone gave us those rights before we were born
00:18:12.420 and we were born with those rights whether you believe it was a god who gave it to us or we
00:18:19.560 just were born with them that's up to you to decide but every person on this planet
00:18:24.520 is born with those rights whether or not their government wants to acknowledge that is something
00:18:30.720 different when you say we're privileged we are privileged to live in america because we do have
00:18:35.540 is that what you're trying to say that's kind of what i'm getting at but i guess call it rights or
00:18:38.760 privileges is let's just stick with rights because you're more comfortable with that word
00:18:42.220 is there anything in your mind that you think we could end up in a situation where we need to be
00:18:51.540 slightly punished for the actions of our society and potentially roll those rights back?
00:18:58.180 No, like, say, well, that's very, that's very subjective. That depends on what it is. That
00:19:04.200 depends on who's making those decisions. And it depends on the right that we're talking about.
00:19:09.460 I mean, people think that abortion is a right. The Supreme Court ruled that abortion is a right.
00:19:13.240 I don't think so. So, I mean, I guess if there's an instance where we need to roll back a right,
00:19:18.380 then i think it would be abortion because i don't think that is stated in the constitution
00:19:23.760 they tried to you know cover it up by saying it's part of a woman's right to her privacy when it's
00:19:30.100 not it's murder so i mean if we want to talk about that that would be something that's not really a
00:19:35.440 right well if you're opening up the floodgates to rolling back rights wouldn't inherently that
00:19:42.140 mean some of the rights that you rights that you agree with could potentially be rolled back or
00:19:47.660 amended and that's the thing and that's and that's what i'm asking specifically about gun rights so i
00:19:52.420 want to bring up the case of the las vegas shooter for example okay and we ask about what those things
00:19:57.080 that we might have to be punished for are he bought 30 guns legally 30 plus guns legally over
00:20:04.420 the course of 12 months before mowing down hundreds of people okay injuring 500 killing
00:20:11.180 58 i believe it was in las vegas the worst mass shooting in the history of the united states
00:20:15.260 do you think that the actions of our society which currently holds 31 of the world's mass
00:20:22.440 shooters and owns 50 of the world's guns with only 5 of the world's population do you think
00:20:28.780 that our obsession with guns our obsessions obsession with violence and mass shooting and
00:20:33.600 murder we don't have an obsession with mass shootings and we have statistically the highest
00:20:39.000 how many mass shootings happened in 2018 i don't have the exact number you can roll it out to me
00:20:43.220 God. So the media wants to say it's over 307. That's not true. If we want to go through the
00:20:48.940 different, um, the different publications that put out these numbers, the problem is that each
00:20:55.040 publication or each program has a different definition for what a mass shooting is. If we
00:21:01.340 go with, um, I forget exactly what it was, but let's stick with the definition of like a mass
00:21:07.800 shooting is four or more people killed and not including the perpetrator the shooter then it
00:21:15.480 goes down to like 10 so it depends on who's putting these numbers out what definition they're
00:21:20.840 using and that's how they get this is this is a bit uncomfortable because i hate to try to like
00:21:27.460 put statistics to something that like a shooting is a shooting like how like one mass shooting is
00:21:33.600 too many. Oh, yeah. No, absolutely. But we don't live in a perfect world. We don't we don't live
00:21:39.520 in a perfect world. We have rapists out there. One rape is too many. But how do we stop it? We 0.99
00:21:45.540 can't stop everything. But, you know, talking about gun rights and, you know, I hate using
00:21:51.580 the term gun violence because it's not the gun committing that violence. It's the person.
00:21:56.180 If we look at statistics, we have found that gun owners actually stop mass shootings.
00:22:04.420 We find that 500,000 to 3 million lives are saved every year due to defensive use of firearms.
00:22:11.180 And then they want to go after the assault rifles.
00:22:14.260 Assault rifles aren't a thing.
00:22:15.580 They aren't real.
00:22:16.320 I didn't use that term.
00:22:17.060 Yeah, I know you didn't.
00:22:18.320 I was very cautious not to use that term.
00:22:20.120 Yeah, but.
00:22:21.160 I guess, I guess, like, let's, let's go back a little bit and not talk about the rights
00:22:25.820 even for a second but let's look at statistics because we're talking about data five percent of
00:22:30.720 the world's population 50 of the guns that seems like something's off there it seems safe it seems
00:22:39.820 safe 22.5 times higher gun homicide rate than any other first world country 22.5 times higher
00:22:50.980 gun homicide rate. Do you not see a correlation between a mass of guns and a mass of gun homicide?
00:22:58.260 Well, I see a correlation with gun registration and gun control and mass murder in communist 0.84
00:23:04.920 countries. That's what I see. So I don't think that you're correlate. We have a correlation,
00:23:11.300 but that doesn't equal causation. So those don't, those two things don't equal each other.
00:23:15.940 What I see is an armed society is a safe society. What I see is that almost 3 million lives are saved every year due to defensive use of firearms. That's what I see. I see that 98% of mass shootings are in gun-free zones. So if we want to talk about ending a gun violence problem, we need to go to where it's happening. It's happening in gun-free zones.
00:23:37.200 well and it does go back to you know our founding fathers wrote this in the constitution that um
00:23:46.820 you know alexander hamilton said the most natural defense of a free country is a well-regulated
00:23:51.820 militia and then um even the anti-federalist side agrees so both sides of the coin agreed
00:23:59.700 that we should have weapons and have a well-regulated militia um but times have changed
00:24:05.820 So I guess how have you seen modern day times that we're living in interacting with the Second Amendment because it's a lot different language now?
00:24:14.580 Well, yeah, well, we go from, you know, shotguns to now we have semi-automatic rifles, which I mean, I don't see a problem with that at all.
00:24:23.360 If we want to talk about technology in the Second Amendment or even guns or firepower or weapons, we see the government has outrageous technology with their weapons and that should scare everybody.
00:24:34.880 why because they aren't our friend the government yeah because they aren't our friend they aren't
00:24:42.040 they aren't here they they aren't they okay let's let's let's say that's true are they our enemy
00:24:47.620 then i would say slightly yes the country that we live in the people who run it yeah the people who
00:24:54.720 so explain um because i do think there is some validity when we do look at how much our military
00:25:03.000 kills other people around the world like we can't that's not an insane statement because
00:25:08.220 like in the wars in iraq and afghanistan we killed hundreds of thousands of civilians like can you
00:25:14.160 imagine if another country attacked the united states killed hundreds of thousands of people
00:25:18.660 only lost let's say tens of thousands of people like it does seem weird that we stand we live in
00:25:26.540 this country that's free then we and we kill so many people to maintain that freedom well
00:25:32.260 maybe i might make some people mad with this one i don't think we're over there protecting our
00:25:39.860 what freedoms are we protecting over there the government the u.s government would would argue
00:25:45.460 that a safe nation overseas is a safe nation at home she's asking why though oh because if you
00:25:53.960 allow if you allow syria afghanistan yemen jordan to or any other country let's not just say the
00:26:02.020 middle east venezuela right to create an unstable state where where um isis or any other rogue
00:26:09.580 militia is able to cultivate and and and grow and you don't put that down well who started it yeah
00:26:15.980 all right let's but let's not get into that kind of stuff let's talk about how to fix it i want to
00:26:20.060 roll it's actually it's it's well-known public knowledge that of course we've armed contras
00:26:26.100 we've armed we are those people 100 but guess what like we even if we initially had a thought
00:26:32.540 in mind and it grew out of control we then have to put that threat down and so that's the argument
00:26:36.820 i'm not saying it's right but the u.s government argument is that we need to have safe nations
00:26:41.000 overseas to protect our freedoms at home i i'm a little worried about going too far into foreign
00:26:47.600 policy and our actions overseas when we're talking about our domestic state right now
00:26:51.620 um and so i want to i want to ask this question um what are your thoughts on on uh on common gun
00:27:00.180 sense reform and i know there's it's subjective and everybody's common sense is different but
00:27:04.220 let's let's roll this out mental health checks in order to get a weapon okay and and there's a lot
00:27:10.680 of thought that needs to go into that let's not just blanket it out there and annual just to make
00:27:15.440 sure things are going right. Background checks for everyone at all gun shows everywhere. You can't
00:27:21.860 walk into a gun show in Virginia and buy an 8R10. Can't do it. Meaning we know that the people that
00:27:27.660 own weapons in this country are sane and don't have the intent to use them maliciously. What are
00:27:33.260 your thoughts on that? Not government regulated. So let me go into depth of that. I don't think
00:27:38.740 the government should have any type of gun control laws on the book. Leave it to the private
00:27:44.460 individuals, leave it to the private gun stores to implement that. I'm not against background
00:27:50.640 checks. I'm not against mental health checks. I'm not against checking up annually. If I go to,
00:27:57.740 I don't know, a gun store and buy a handgun, if they want to put me through all of these tests,
00:28:03.420 all of these checks, if I have to go get a physical just to have the gun, then that's
00:28:08.680 their property. It's their rules for how I obtain that gun. That's fine. I don't think it should be
00:28:14.140 government mandated i worked in a gun store and our government is so incompetent they can't even
00:28:18.900 fill potholes in ohio i'm sure that you remember that the roads are pretty okay out here from what
00:28:25.840 well we do live in encino the beautiful rolling hills no snow no snow yeah it's phenomenal yeah
00:28:31.260 so you know if they can't fill potholes and get their you know shit together even fighting amongst
00:28:38.080 each other why are we putting them in charge of regulating our rights you're telling us what we 0.97
00:28:41.900 need. So I worked at a gun store and a woman came in, purchased a handgun. Everything was green to 0.98
00:28:47.120 go proceed. You know, we did the background check. Everything came out fine. We'll come to find out
00:28:51.660 she went and killed herself. And then when we got contacted by, um, you know, the police department
00:28:59.140 come to find out she was never supposed to have a gun, but the agencies don't talk to each other
00:29:04.620 that are supposed to report things to the FBI. So they didn't, they never reported it or else
00:29:09.460 she wouldn't have gotten that gun.
00:29:10.740 But, you know, if she wanted one, she would have gotten one anyway.
00:29:13.460 So I think that that sounds like one case, and I'm sure there's many more,
00:29:17.560 and I'm sure we're not doing the best job that we could be with background checks
00:29:21.000 and mental health checks right now.
00:29:22.480 There's no doubt about that.
00:29:23.380 The government could step their game up.
00:29:25.120 But my question is this.
00:29:26.300 What is the key priority and initiative for private businesses?
00:29:32.340 Reputation.
00:29:33.060 No, it's not.
00:29:33.820 It's to make money.
00:29:35.100 But how do you make money?
00:29:36.460 You have to have a good reputation.
00:29:38.220 But it's to make money.
00:29:38.940 And because I know a lot of businesses have great reputations, they're not hitting their bottom line and they're and they're not going to be in business.
00:29:45.540 I mean, right now. So if you give if you give private businesses the sole responsibility of background checking and mental health checking, you are going down a slippery slope that leads to businesses protecting their bottom line, which is the most important thing to business.
00:30:00.600 I have to disagree with you. I think giving the government the power to regulate our Second
00:30:05.420 Amendment right and our firearms is going down an extremely slippery slope because what they do is
00:30:10.560 they say people who have a mental health disorder or mental illness can't go in and buy a gun.
00:30:18.280 I'm pretty sure in Ohio, if the law hasn't changed, transgendered people technically have a mental 0.75
00:30:23.280 illness and they can't get a firearm. And then we say, OK, let's legalize weed. Let's do that. 1.00
00:30:28.780 I'm all for that. I was in the drug war. That's fine. But what comes with that? If you have to
00:30:34.780 if you go and buy weed or if it's for a medical purpose, you can't have a gun anymore. It all
00:30:39.800 ties into everything. They don't want us to be armed. We rose against Great Britain. That's how
00:30:45.380 we won our independence, because three percent of the population in America rose up with firearms
00:30:50.660 and we had the same firepower that they did. That's how we won our independence.
00:30:55.380 so so i was gonna say i mean but those were times when people were fighting with muskets
00:31:00.640 right times have changed so much i think there does need to be some sort of solution do you see
00:31:08.800 or have a solution get rid of gun-free zones that's the first step get rid of gun-free zones
00:31:14.900 government mandated gun-free zones 98 of mass shootings happen in gun-free zones so okay you
00:31:21.660 get rid of gun-free zones and then what happens inevitably people buy and arm themselves with
00:31:27.300 guns correct and then what if they choose everyone has a gun no i don't think everyone should have a
00:31:32.760 gun that's where it comes back to i support background checks from private businesses i
00:31:37.780 support that right now you can go and buy a gun there's a black market for firearms gang violence
00:31:43.680 you know the number one perpetrator of gun violence is gangs 80 of gun homicides are drug
00:31:50.380 related and gang related. So and that stems from the drug war. If we get rid of all these other
00:31:56.360 things, including the drug war that's incorporated into the gun violence epidemic, I think that a lot
00:32:02.700 of things would change and I think a lot of things would get better. Listen, and by the way, I'm not
00:32:07.440 disagreeing with you on that stuff. I think we I think we as a as a country have problems that are
00:32:13.460 contributing factor factors to homicide and i think the gun is the method that's used sometimes
00:32:20.600 here we go i don't i know knives are using cars and hands i know all that stuff and i know i get
00:32:25.680 that argument but i do agree with you that we have massive socioeconomic problems we have massive
00:32:31.380 problems with drug wars and all these other factors so i do agree with you there but i
00:32:35.620 i've never been able to come around to the fact that blanketing this country with even more guns
00:32:41.920 is the solution to the problem like i just i i don't think i'll ever get on board when when do
00:32:46.560 you think we have enough guns never why caitlin never come on i why would we regulate someone's
00:32:53.860 property it's your property i'm not saying we're regulating their property that's a different
00:32:57.420 question when when do we need more guns like when do we need in circulation i mean i think we have
00:33:08.080 plenty i mean i don't know i don't really understand like when do we need more guns
00:33:12.360 i guess when we need to fight against the tyrannical government can i but don't you
00:33:16.660 think there's already enough weapons in the hands of american people to do that if i think so and
00:33:24.460 plus we have a national guard like do you really think that americans are going to at one day
00:33:31.880 start killing other americans i hope i mean we do right now and they're doing it without guns
00:33:37.320 I hope that that time never comes. 0.99
00:33:40.180 I hope that we never have to see.
00:33:41.060 Don't you think it's like an extremist way of thinking?
00:33:43.480 It is an extremist way of thinking, but it's also very realistic.
00:33:46.500 That's what the Second Amendment is for.
00:33:48.320 If it wasn't realistic, and you know, the founders were radicals.
00:33:52.680 That's why we have the Second Amendment.
00:33:54.280 That's why we have all of these rights that aren't granted to people in other countries,
00:33:57.880 because they were radicals.
00:33:59.040 And I'm so thankful that they were, because now we have free speech.
00:34:02.960 We are granted our right to free speech to the Second Amendment, to privacy.
00:34:06.660 while they're all getting trampled on we still have them you know can i can i ask you a question
00:34:12.320 about this uh fight against the tyrannical government because i it's something i've
00:34:15.900 thought about many times and had this conversation before um we've got it we've got a bunch of uh
00:34:20.660 we've got a bunch of guns in this country we've got more guns than people right and so we're
00:34:24.920 we're armed to the teeth um have you ever shot an elephant with a pea shooter before
00:34:31.620 Have you ever done that?
00:34:32.740 Have you?
00:34:33.600 Do you know what it's like to have an AC-130 rain 105 millimeter rounds on your buildings and houses while you're shooting back with an AR-10?
00:34:41.360 We are not going to win the battle against our government.
00:34:44.140 That is the good point.
00:34:44.940 That's why we should have the same weapons.
00:34:47.240 So we should grab some AC-130s.
00:34:48.860 We should be able to have the same weapons that the military has.
00:34:53.360 We absolutely should.
00:34:54.900 I think what's happened, and this is just my assumption, and, you know, it's my opinion, is that we have changed so much as a country and as a world that certain amendments, to Spencer's point, from the musket days, need some reshaping, okay?
00:35:11.520 Well, what about free speech?
00:35:12.660 I know, and maybe, I don't know, I'm not talking about free speech right now, but listen, in your opinion or in your eyes, we should all have fighter jets.
00:35:24.740 i didn't say that i didn't say we should all have them okay i think where i can where i can
00:35:30.440 well i want to hear i didn't say we should all have them and i don't i'm not saying that everybody
00:35:35.320 should have a gun i'm saying that we should have access to them to be able to obtain them if we
00:35:42.200 wanted to so does that mean that bob over here who you know is punching and beating his wife
00:35:48.580 should have a gun absolutely not i don't think he should but that doesn't mean that his right
00:35:53.240 to have a gun should be restricted so that's where the private businesses come in we i'm gonna go back
00:35:59.940 to uh the gun store i worked at this guy came in super shady guy we were like so we told him that
00:36:06.300 his background check is gonna be delayed and we went and did our own background check this guy
00:36:12.080 was a wife beater so we didn't sell him the gun the government told us to go ahead and give him
00:36:16.420 the gun we went and done our own background checks no gun for that wife beater uh i sort of
00:36:23.160 agree with mike's argument that the when it comes to businesses the bottom line is the only thing
00:36:27.260 that like truly matters whether you agree with it or not like gun stores want to stay in business
00:36:31.280 and they're going to sell guns to stay in business um do you have any sort of uh combat for that
00:36:38.500 argument because that is a strong one for me i mean yeah so i have a personal experience like
00:36:42.420 then obviously, you know, like personal experiences don't make an argument, but I was going to work
00:36:48.260 at a different firearm store in Ohio and come to find out that his reputation was so poor
00:36:53.780 that even a lawyer reached out to me and was like, don't work for them. Like, this is terrible. So
00:36:58.440 our society, if we would just care about people more, and I think that's a big part of it too,
00:37:05.000 is how we treat each other. A hundred percent. A hundred percent of how we treat each other,
00:37:08.320 how people are raised but anyway you know you go online and you look at the reviews for this store 0.99
00:37:14.560 absolute trash absolute trash and now they're not in business anymore because he was such a shitty 0.99
00:37:20.120 person and such a bad person and how he handled business and how he handled people's money and 0.99
00:37:26.440 how he treated people he's no longer in business anymore okay but i think it kind of contradicts
00:37:30.880 to what it's it's i was gonna say it's it's a bit hypocritical maybe we're gonna say for something
00:37:35.140 else but I know like some of the things that you've done and the way you've treated people
00:37:38.960 or talked to people like especially with um David Hogg from from Parkland I mean well I called him
00:37:45.060 twig arms yeah well that's true because he called me a racist so I mean like I would never just go
00:37:51.080 after him for no reason and I don't think that just because he was in a school shooting you know 0.93
00:37:58.800 puts up a special shield to where we aren't allowed to criticize his ideas now that's not
00:38:03.760 true and you know i was going after his his twig arms because one he does have twig arms and two
00:38:08.640 he was straight up calling me a racist spencer so i mean twig arms and you challenged david
00:38:14.740 and arm wrestling match how about this we'll talk about that later no i want you to i want
00:38:21.540 you to arm wrestle mike and if he wins you have to you have to give up all your guns
00:38:25.300 me yeah no i'm good i'm good what mike's a big boy i was going to mention it it kind of
00:38:34.080 contradicts the idea that we have enough guns in circulation like at what point um does it become
00:38:42.460 where people who support you know gun laws like yourself are just being obnoxious and i think
00:38:50.780 They are being obnoxious.
00:38:52.680 Well, like going on a campus with a, you know, a rifle strapped to your back. 0.90
00:38:57.440 To me, that says a lot about the ignorance of that side.
00:39:05.220 Because can you imagine like if you're a student? 0.98
00:39:08.600 Well, OK, what I thought is if I was a student at that campus, I would be fucking horrified. 0.97
00:39:16.220 because i have seen so many school shootings and i see someone walking with a rifle around campus 0.95
00:39:23.880 that's scary that's scary no that's safe no it's but that's your opinion and i guarantee if you
00:39:29.920 ask a crowd of 100 people and if you say hey i'm gonna i'm gonna really respect what these 100
00:39:35.500 people have to say i guarantee you the majority of them are gonna say that's scary if they see
00:39:39.920 anybody coming on their campus with a rifle yo yeah you're lucky you don't get shot doing that
00:39:45.000 Well, let me tell you about this photo. So in April, so that was taken in May. In April, I organized an open carry demonstration on our campus. I had 50 gun owners with firearms there. There were probably more guns than people at that, you know, little rally that I had in April. And it was the safest time to be on campus. So what I'm doing is here, this is what I did was perfectly legal. That was 100% legal.
00:40:13.180 Yeah, we know that. Yeah. So when I graduated, I was finally able to arm myself. That's the whole
00:40:17.900 point of the caption I put. But a day later, I wasn't even allowed to have my handgun. So I went
00:40:22.680 out and I made a point. I made a point. I had an officer with me. I contacted the school four days
00:40:27.940 ahead, three days ahead. And when I got there, I didn't take it out until an officer was with me.
00:40:32.360 And I did it when very few people were on campus because I'm not trying to go out there with the
00:40:37.100 rifle and scare people i would never walk around like this around school that's not the point the
00:40:43.420 point was to make a bold statement in a photo and i think it's just marketing it's marketing the
00:40:49.080 point that now i can have a rifle but i couldn't have my handgun a day earlier in the classroom
00:40:54.220 that's the point well it does make us think because that's crazy to me that you know you
00:40:59.740 you can't student faculty and staff can't have a deadly weapon but a visitor can yes so that's to
00:41:05.520 me i that makes sense that does make sense that you're bringing awareness to that because that
00:41:08.980 is kind of crazy i i think i think for for me having now talked to you and sat with you i think
00:41:15.540 what bothers me and i don't know if it's what bothers spencer is the optics of how you do your
00:41:21.000 things right and so like i get it you made a statement right well like and you and you and
00:41:25.560 you also you also have a ton of really valid points like really valid points about how we
00:41:32.000 treat each other in this country the protection of of women and and how we protect ourselves as a
00:41:38.560 as a as civilians but i think unfortunately those valid points are shaded over by some of your more
00:41:47.200 extreme views and how you and how you bring them to to the public eye yeah i've heard that before
00:41:52.540 and that's that kind of sucks because to be honest with you in my eyes right now the biggest problem 0.77
00:41:58.040 we have in this country is is a divided state and i'm not saying who do did it was it obama was it 0.78
00:42:05.980 trump whatever right it's the fact that you have people on the on the right saying that every view
00:42:12.040 that opposes their view is from a leftist ideology and people on the left saying i stay right here
00:42:18.040 right and wrong find solutions common sense okay and so common sense is subjective like you always
00:42:24.940 But unfortunately, I think after now talking to you and seeing who you are, that like I said, you have a lot of very valid points that are slightly overshadowed by your theatrics. 0.98
00:42:36.560 And yeah, and that sucks.
00:42:38.520 Well, I mean, I've heard that argument before, but a lot of people take what I say and what I do and even gun owners will be like, you're just too extreme for us. 0.97
00:42:50.220 And I, I just look at them and I'm like, your opinions don't matter to me because you're,
00:42:54.460 if you're going to coward when people are trying to limit our mag size to five rounds,
00:43:00.200 then, you know, you aren't in this discussion.
00:43:03.220 I mean, why do you need a magazine that holds more than five rounds?
00:43:08.200 So what if 10 people are coming in your house to rob you?
00:43:12.040 So you are not going to, especially with, um, a 380, like my handgun holds a 380.
00:43:18.460 It's small, it's tiny.
00:43:19.620 i'm gonna probably need more than five rounds to take someone down with it absolutely so but you
00:43:26.060 already own magazines that are large enough yes so well then at what point do we as a country
00:43:33.680 start to limit these things i don't think we should and can't we ever admit hey we got enough
00:43:40.080 guns like we have enough we can have enough but that doesn't mean you restrict someone's right
00:43:46.160 to their property so everything that i'm talking about goes back to property rights someone does
00:43:51.420 not have the right to come and take your podcast from you someone doesn't have a right to come and 1.00
00:43:55.900 i wish a bitch would the old i wish a bitch would the reason why we're having this conversation is 1.00
00:44:01.640 because our podcast didn't kill 58 people in las vegas but our toaster oven didn't kill 58 people 1.00
00:44:07.140 but it's your automatic weapon that was revised bump stock that's not an automatic weapon it's
00:44:14.160 not an automatic sorry here i'm i'm trying what is a bump stock it is a a piece of call it
00:44:20.160 technology call it mechanical device that is used to turn a semi-automatic no it's not no
00:44:25.920 okay bump stock is a modification that you put on it doesn't turn the firearm into anything oh
00:44:32.660 it's sorry you can do it gives you the ability to have to fire the weapon faster to bump fire
00:44:36.960 but you can do that with the rubber band you can do that with the finger you can do that with a
00:44:40.560 belt loop are we gonna ban all those i i think banning something that is made specifically for
00:44:47.240 it and then looking for people to find a less effective solution is probably a smart bet like
00:44:52.820 i can like i can ride a scooter to work but i probably will take a car are we gonna ban hammers
00:44:59.580 and knives because they kill more people than rifles especially more people than bump stocks
00:45:03.620 hammers hammers kill more people than rifles hammers and even feet and hands kill more people
00:45:10.180 than rifles hammers kill more people than rifles looking it up uh blunt objects so
00:45:18.140 and and while we're on this and while he looks for that while we're on this rifles discussion
00:45:22.120 uh i i want to get a little bit more clarity on the on the on the reasoning behind owning
00:45:29.180 semi-automatic long barrels again because i know you you look a lot for protection right what is
00:45:33.900 the use case for a gun that could put those kind of rounds downfield is it hunting like what do
00:45:38.780 or just whatever you want, whatever you want. I mean, a home protection, that's something too,
00:45:44.580 because if, like I said, a group of people are coming in to rob you or kill you or do something
00:45:50.320 to your family, I would much rather have a rifle. You would in close quarters. I mean, I, for the,
00:45:56.880 or you're going to be on the roof sniping down. Like what's your, what's your plan? Even, I mean,
00:46:01.560 hunters use it too. It's everything. They use it for protection of their cattle. They use it for
00:46:06.360 protection of their family and their home i have my rifle sitting right next to my bed
00:46:11.060 if i need i mean if an intruder is coming into your house what looks more daunting
00:46:15.140 a rifle being pointed at your group or a handgun they can both do the same things i guess it's not
00:46:21.920 a question of looks to me in that situation i would want to have what's more effective which
00:46:27.180 seems like it'd be a hand well in that number i told you 500 000 to 3 million lives are saved
00:46:32.320 every year due to defensive use of firearms that is included just brandishing a weapon and making
00:46:37.480 sure that perpetrator sees that you have a weapon and they back off so according to the fbi there
00:46:44.060 are around roughly 25 000 uh homicides via firearms according to the fbi blunt objects
00:46:55.240 including clubs and hammers i said rifles okay well firearms well no because when we talk about
00:47:03.980 banning rifles okay okay yeah she made a specific point so i i think we're i think we're in la la
00:47:09.080 land here because it's going to take some time to pull the how many people killed with hammers
00:47:12.860 though i'm uh only 472 unless people are killed with right but hold on less people are killed
00:47:18.900 with right if you're going to be specific that says that's one objects including hammers like
00:47:24.200 rocks all that stuff so if we pull the hammer statistic but if we want to pull i mean you can
00:47:29.120 check it i don't know hold on a second but you tell him to be careful not to include something
00:47:33.180 other than rifles in it so you can't then turn you're right you're right you're absolutely right
00:47:37.140 and the the overarching question is we have 25 000 deaths via uh what does that number mean though
00:47:44.840 it includes some the 25 000 yeah what year uh this is 2016 so and this is this this trend has
00:47:54.380 been going up so we went from 13 750 um in 2015 to a pretty steady jump into 2017 so when they
00:48:05.160 i don't know so it's just specifically homicides or those justified killings
00:48:09.960 These are homicides.
00:48:11.000 Or were they justified homicides?
00:48:12.840 In, like, the cases of self-defense.
00:48:15.080 Oh, so justified.
00:48:16.280 Yeah, see, that's the thing.
00:48:17.280 They inflate these numbers when two-thirds of gun homicides are suicides.
00:48:22.020 I don't think it's fair to put that statistic when we're talking about restricting gun ownership because someone killed themselves.
00:48:29.060 I don't think that's fair because when we talk about gun violence, we're talking about people killing each other or using guns against one another when they shouldn't be.
00:48:37.100 Well, it would still be nice to take the gun out of the suicidal person's hand, would it not?
00:48:41.240 It would. I mean, yes, to stop that.
00:48:44.100 But I don't think that that's a fair assessment to be put into that argument.
00:48:49.140 Well, people are killing each other with guns, so we have to limit it.
00:48:52.160 And then they pull up a statistic that includes suicides.
00:48:54.720 I don't think that's fair.
00:48:56.180 What about unlawful possession of guns?
00:48:59.040 What are your thoughts?
00:48:59.580 So I had a thought on your no gun free zones and also on people that live in poor socioeconomic areas
00:49:05.540 that aren't able to legally purchase a handgun.
00:49:07.640 How do you feel about a 25-year minimum sentence
00:49:10.180 for first-time offense on illegal possession of a handgun?
00:49:12.940 Well, it depends.
00:49:15.080 I mean, okay, so it depends on what our laws are.
00:49:18.940 One, I don't think there should be gun laws.
00:49:20.620 So one, I already don't agree with penalizing people
00:49:23.480 because they may have illegally bought a gun.
00:49:26.180 All right, so let me roll that back in a second.
00:49:29.620 So no gun laws.
00:49:32.200 I wake up tomorrow, I'm pissed off.
00:49:35.540 at everyone. No gun laws. I go into a store. You rely on that store to have a high moral fiber
00:49:42.320 when we all know they're going to get their fucking money. I'm going to walk into that store 0.99
00:49:46.340 and I'm going to buy 345 caliber Desert Eagles. Okay. And you're cool with me just rocking those.
00:49:53.180 So that's where we go back to. Because I'll pass all the mental health checks. I'll pass
00:49:56.940 everything. People do that right now too. People do that right now too. And that's not a problem
00:50:02.300 that i think we want to open up more i think it's a problem we need to work on fixing how do we fix
00:50:07.320 it how do we fix people with mental health issues getting firearms because they still do there's a
00:50:11.960 that's because there's no there's nothing there to stop them we have we have more than 20 000
00:50:18.360 gun laws on the book they're it's calling something that's ineffective in its execution
00:50:24.780 useless is is wouldn't that be the definition of useless if if we can't execute something it's not
00:50:31.160 that we can't we just haven't done a good enough job so what do we do we need to do a better job
00:50:36.100 of it i don't know like through legislation through cutting off funding for for politicians 0.94
00:50:41.480 that don't do their fucking job what are they what politicians aren't doing their job what 0.99
00:50:46.040 creating more gun whichever ones are making it okay for some dude to buy 33 fucking guns in 12 0.99
00:50:50.960 months you should you should have you have the right to do that because you have property rights 0.91
00:50:54.980 is it why is it when does it yeah when does it become unnecessary though that's what i was trying
00:51:01.040 to get at and you agreed with me you said at some point we have enough well no i said we do have
00:51:06.600 enough right now you you asked me do we have enough to fight back against our own government
00:51:10.900 or you know something like i think we do have enough that doesn't mean it stops there so on
00:51:15.200 that point on that point and you're disagreeing with them based off of the fact that gun stores
00:51:19.440 make a lot of money right like you think it's not about the money oh no well that's what capitalism
00:51:24.600 is you want to make a profit so absolutely so that doesn't that doesn't mean that we can apply
00:51:30.400 that to everybody that is going out and selling guns we do think gangs and black markets care
00:51:37.260 who they're selling to they don't and they're doing it already do you think i should be able
00:51:42.660 to get a driver's license from a store i don't know do you think a driver's license like like
00:51:48.600 because if we just start stripping government jobs right and we say okay private entities are 0.98
00:51:54.560 gonna do it now i can go to stop and shop and buy a or shop right or whatever and buy a fucking 0.94
00:51:59.960 license to drive a car you just buy one no no maybe they do test but guess what like they turn 0.98
00:52:06.760 the other cheek on the fact that i have one arm you know like who knows where it's gonna stop once
00:52:11.640 you open up the can of profitability versus moral fiber i'm just saying that is the slipperiest slope
00:52:18.460 argument i've ever heard i don't agree with you because right now we have government regulating
00:52:23.520 those things and if they're not working then what do we do put more government regulation
00:52:28.840 into all these things i don't i think privatization is the answer just do better we can do better by
00:52:34.100 privatizing well we're so the gun industry it contributes 51.3 billion dollars a year annually
00:52:41.100 for the u.s government so or for the u.s economy i'm sorry so how like how can we we were talking
00:52:49.500 about how you're very combative with your viewpoints to to other people what can we do to
00:52:54.540 make steps towards both sides agreeing on something i don't i think we're so far past that point even
00:53:02.000 when i wasn't the kent state gun girl i was out promoting campus carry legislation on my campus
00:53:08.260 two years before i took my photo my very first event on campus was campus carry and all i had
00:53:13.660 was an empty holster in my backpack at the end of the week we took pictures the people in a club
00:53:19.040 that I was in. And we posted pictures and we said, hey, come to this room and let's have a
00:53:23.360 conversation about gun rights and campus carry legislation. They called the cops on us. The
00:53:28.340 students called the cops on us, lied and said we had guns in our book bags and on campus. So
00:53:32.700 a whole investigation had to happen. And do you think they lied or do you think they were just
00:53:36.840 scared? So I actually talked to one of them and I said, we didn't have guns on campus. And she's
00:53:41.500 like, you know, I know you didn't have guns on campus, but the implication of the holster scared
00:53:46.340 me and i said why would you why would you but that's the thing she saw was an empty holster
00:53:51.700 we said we had an empty holster event it was a silent protest saying that even if we had our
00:53:58.880 concealed carry because that's what i fight for is concealed carry on campus not walking around
00:54:03.240 with your ar-10 we already went through that but the fact that she was so scared of a holster that
00:54:09.500 she called the cops and said we had guns on campus and then they spread it around campus that we had
00:54:13.660 guns which isn't good for anybody but you don't you don't understand where she's coming from like
00:54:19.740 spencer stated earlier that's scary it's scary to have an empty holster it makes people uncomfortable
00:54:24.440 no no it's scary to have guns on campus 100 like i don't think so i think it's so scary to have a
00:54:30.760 gun-free zone that's so scary at kent state you're four times more likely to be raped on campus than
00:54:36.640 if you step off campus and into the city of kent that's terrifying why am i not allowed to protect
00:54:41.680 myself why can't i have something more than mace you are absolutely allowed to protect yourself
00:54:46.500 it's just like i mean i hate to keep reverting to spencer's point it does rub people the wrong
00:54:51.600 way and it might but that i'm gonna be blunt and this might be my combative personality
00:54:56.440 it doesn't matter it's my right my rights don't end just because i step on campus
00:55:01.620 they do not just magically disappear i should have the right if i can legally purchase a firearm
00:55:07.240 in a gun store when I'm 21 off campus and take it into Walmart why can't I have it on campus in my
00:55:13.020 dorm where I live why can't I protect myself where I live on campus where I go to school where I spend
00:55:17.660 hours of my I think one of the issues to that I do see I do see where you're coming from because
00:55:22.780 at the end of the day you know if there was an active shooter on campus I would like somebody
00:55:28.880 who is well trained to handle that situation how that happens that's that's a very tricky
00:55:35.100 conversation to have but if you bring your gun into campus i lived in a college dorm for two years
00:55:39.920 uh not necessarily the smartest thing especially when it's easy to get into dorms there's suite
00:55:45.500 mates sometimes people are drunk people are drunk and drinking and are young like you know so is
00:55:51.240 that only so you're bringing weapons into school making them accessible to people if somebody finds
00:55:55.980 out you have a weapon then hey it's easy for me to get that weapon and then engage it with other
00:56:02.260 students so there are already especially in texas there are campus carry laws there
00:56:06.200 and it's worked out well yeah and it's worked out very well for them too so you know what the
00:56:13.700 argument you're bringing up or arguments that are already kind of out there and people are already
00:56:19.360 bringing guns into bars in um ohio you business if you sell alcohol you cannot say that people
00:56:27.700 can't bring guns in there so so let's talk which is which is scary but it's all and it's all right
00:56:33.460 because because as you know like one of the the things that could stop you from a concealed carry
00:56:37.700 or legally concealed carry is being under the influence of alcohol you are not allowed to drink
00:56:42.080 alcohol with a concealed carry correct and so well and so does it not make sense for you to not be
00:56:47.840 able to bring your hand i mean no it's the the reasoning of the law is that if you are a uh if
00:56:53.060 your business, a restaurant or whatever that sells alcohol, alcohol is something that people
00:56:58.300 can drink to provoke fights. It kind of gets them out of the state of mind. So if you want to bring
00:57:02.640 in your firearm to make sure that you can protect yourself against something that can be provoked
00:57:07.860 due to alcohol, that's kind of the reasoning of the law, which I think is great. Should you be
00:57:13.060 drinking while you have a gun? Absolutely not. I'm not advocating for that. But if a person wants to
00:57:18.580 come in i mean there is nobody no criminal no mass shooter no criminal with a firearm that
00:57:26.240 wants to kill people that's gonna look at a sticker and say no guns allowed and be like
00:57:29.940 man i was gonna kill some people today in here but if i can't bring my gun in then i'll just go 0.97
00:57:35.280 home but listen my my like i just want to put my cap on on all this just really quickly i i like i
00:57:42.980 said I think you have some very valid points I won't say it again but you know slightly overshadowed
00:57:50.160 by views right um but I I think my my biggest point coming out of this or my biggest thought is
00:57:56.380 there is something more dangerous than guns in this country right now and that is your belief
00:58:04.320 that we are past the point of repairing relationships between the left and right
00:58:08.680 That is the most dangerous thing that our country faces right now.
00:58:12.960 And I'll tell you why.
00:58:13.920 I understand what you're saying. 0.99
00:58:14.400 Because it is stopping us from level heads and stopping us from coming together to make laws that benefit this fucking country. 0.99
00:58:22.280 I agree. 0.99
00:58:22.720 And so until we start to cut the bullshit, stop looking at the left as all as liberals and leftist ideologists. 0.99
00:58:33.580 And by the way, the liberals stop looking at conservatives as rednecks. 1.00
00:58:37.280 and okay until all that shit stops and we come together to find common purpose we are fucked 1.00
00:58:43.500 we are fucked well end of story on that point building off that um i think it's always important 1.00
00:58:50.420 to go back to how this country was founded and obviously there was flaws like when we 0.96
00:58:55.560 dished out the second amendment you know african-americans native americans were not 0.70
00:59:00.620 allowed to have weapons and still in a lot of areas gun control start a racist a racist system
00:59:06.360 They did not want freed slaves and black people to have firearms.
00:59:10.620 That's how gun control started. 0.95
00:59:11.920 Gun control is super racist.
00:59:14.340 So, you know, one building off what you mentioned, though, you know, I love this quote from Benjamin Franklin.
00:59:21.060 He says those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
00:59:28.960 I think that's important to to address when we're talking about this argument.
00:59:33.500 How do we move forward? Because if we're all going to sacrifice our liberties, which is our freedoms to have what we are trying to all come together and identify a safety, right?
00:59:44.980 Both sides want safety. They don't want to be scared of weapons. And the people who have weapons want to protect themselves against weapons.
00:59:50.820 So the general cause is there, like the good intentions from both sides is there.
00:59:56.960 So do you think it is because it's safety, you know, and your definition of safety is
01:00:02.500 completely different to somebody else's.
01:00:04.200 And that's not going to change.
01:00:05.780 There's always going to be two ideas.
01:00:07.620 So at what point does the conversation and I think this is something that we've really
01:00:12.800 avoided from both parties because of these combative ways of talking.
01:00:16.540 At what point does the conversation not start at guns, but instead moves to mental health and ensuring that our nation actually cares and understands what mental health even is?
01:00:28.020 I mean, that's a good point.
01:00:29.700 When do we start?
01:00:30.520 I mean, I think both sides.
01:00:32.200 I've never seen someone say that mental health isn't something that we should focus on when we talk about guns.
01:00:38.180 I don't I've never seen anybody say like, no, let's not talk about mental health because that I mean, who what drives someone to go and shoot up a school?
01:00:45.940 mental health issues no sane person is going to go do that so it is all mental health it's how we
01:00:51.740 raise our families it's how we treat each other in society that's what i'm talking about mental
01:00:56.680 health and i absolutely agree with you so do you think your videos of you going out to campuses
01:01:01.300 and you doing all these things with weapons do you think that's just for clout what videos
01:01:06.920 going out to campus being so combative then if you know it's about mental health but you want to
01:01:11.300 really make it about guns do you think that that's kind of not productive i i guess i don't
01:01:18.100 understand he's like are you are you poking the beast are you instigating to instigate
01:01:24.560 instigating to instigate i will tell you what i don't go out there and go and treat people poorly
01:01:30.820 just to get a reaction never if you like go on our youtube and look at these videos or you look
01:01:36.520 at my Twitter I will never go out there and start provoking because if I'm caring I carry to protect
01:01:42.900 myself from those type of situations I'm never going to put myself in one the one situation
01:01:47.840 though that I think is not accurate is you put out a video to what you just said you put out a video
01:01:53.600 where there was an obese lady and you told her to eat the mic and and or you said eat it and then 0.65
01:02:01.820 she got mad at you and you said i carry like so okay let's talk about that off camera she had
01:02:07.640 already hit me she had already pushed my cameraman michael over there why were you not filming that
01:02:13.680 you just weren't because no we well so i don't know why he if he was filming that um was just
01:02:20.120 in the lead up to it so it was in the lead up we were in the middle of protest just interviewing
01:02:23.580 people and these young group of girls recognized me and as i was standing there they started getting
01:02:30.380 like really pumped up that I was there and they were you know when people see me they're like oh
01:02:35.020 let's go say something to her let's go say something let's be heroes so they were coming
01:02:39.840 up to me and we were I tried to talk to them and then I was putting you know getting their 0.99
01:02:44.320 interviews or whatever she starts cussing at me you have a fucking assault rifle and I was like 1.00
01:02:48.860 what is an assault rifle I was trying to just talk to her like challenge her like what tell me 1.00
01:02:52.940 what an assault rifle is she starts getting really heated and once I start like telling her that she 1.00
01:02:57.480 doesn't know what an assault rifle is she starts getting real mad she starts getting in my face 1.00
01:03:01.600 and then we ended up just walking away from her and going to the other woman who had the boobs 1.00
01:03:05.780 drawn on her shirt in that video and then she starts over here screaming again because she's 1.00
01:03:10.800 getting pumped up and this is she's already hit me she's already hit my cameraman like i said
01:03:15.240 i think as soon as she hit me he put his camera down because why not if something's going to
01:03:21.620 happen what's more important making sure that the situation gets diffused or you know and then
01:03:27.180 views it depends on who you ask because he might he would probably keep well no like i don't like
01:03:32.140 that i don't want to get filmed i don't want to be filmed getting assaulted i'd rather stop it
01:03:36.540 that's not my point but that would enhance your argument unfortunately it's unfortunate but but
01:03:42.120 i'm not there to get assaulted i've also heard you say that whenever you go on college campuses
01:03:46.860 or to events you you film all your interactions yes well when i'm on a college campus i do film
01:03:52.480 all of my interactions right and not every situation turns out the same i mean did we have
01:03:57.960 the cameras rolling yeah probably oh no we'd have to ask michael about that situation because that
01:04:02.540 was clear and i don't even remember what that was but anyway she had already physically touched me
01:04:08.040 assaulted me tried to break our equipment so why didn't you leave because i mean like i said i
01:04:14.420 walked away from her after that i walked away and then she kept screaming in my ear again so i just
01:04:18.980 put the mic up to get her and what logan's saying is why why do you find the need to poke the beast
01:04:24.340 because that's what you're doing somebody somebody wanted you gone that's kind of and you're like
01:04:28.500 too well somebody somebody else is having a protest you know somebody else there's another
01:04:33.880 group having a protest and you want to go in there because you know you're going to get reactions you
01:04:39.240 know you're going to stir the pot you know people are going to get angry well and then you're
01:04:43.500 threatening okay so you're saying it's fun it is fun so it's is it fun to threaten them by pulling
01:04:48.400 your firearm i've never done that but you threatened no i didn't when did i say by saying
01:04:54.000 by saying you know i carry i haven't even explained that you know i carry is you know i have a gun
01:04:58.980 that's a threat that's not a threat the law would not agree with you it's not a threat to go into
01:05:05.300 this situation for fun consciously knowing that you're going to stir the pot knowing my how they
01:05:12.920 react to me is not my problem i'm not gonna stop going to these things out of intimidation because
01:05:19.080 they don't like me that's not the type of person but but you know going into that okay that in your
01:05:25.420 arsenal is i want to i want to let them know that i have a gun no that is not probably didn't want
01:05:31.900 to until she was that is not my intention listen i don't her stirring the pot protest counter
01:05:38.140 protest is is an effective way for both sides and always has been to get a point across like I don't
01:05:44.000 think she's a rogue agent going to counter a protest and I and I stand behind your right
01:05:49.160 to counter protest and I also think that some of the stuff you have done has been a way to open up
01:05:56.380 this conversation because by the way you wouldn't be here and you wouldn't be on the internet
01:06:00.680 talk bringing this conversation up and so like i have always been one to stand behind the the
01:06:07.560 troublemaker who offends a few people when done safely okay because i i would agree with you in
01:06:13.720 a lot of ways we have moved to a place where we are so fucking sensitive we can't do anything 0.56
01:06:17.120 anymore okay and so i'm not i'm not saying you do things the right way all the time but you do 0.55
01:06:22.020 get conversation started but what i will say to you is this i as a as a just as a human not as a
01:06:29.540 podcast or interviewer I would urge you to look for ways to create actual change as opposed to
01:06:38.040 just making a statement through video or through poking the beast or whatever you want to call it
01:06:43.380 and one of the ways you will do that is not aligning yourself with people like Alex Jones
01:06:49.360 I am I am just going to be blunt with you you have very you have some very strong points and
01:06:56.020 And I hate that you're going to get lumped into the category of people that are clinically 0.99
01:06:59.560 fucking insane. 0.99
01:07:00.840 OK, I don't agree with that. 1.00
01:07:02.740 That's fine.
01:07:03.220 You don't have to.
01:07:04.280 But but understand that that's what ninety nine point nine nine percent of this country
01:07:08.140 thinks. 0.66
01:07:08.680 And that's fine.
01:07:09.480 And so do you want to be the point zero zero one percent of we're right and every single
01:07:14.700 other person is wrong?
01:07:15.760 Like we talk about data.
01:07:17.300 Maybe there are some times you should listen to it.
01:07:19.660 There is a lot that I disagree with on Alex Jones.
01:07:22.720 It doesn't mean that I support everything he does or everything he says.
01:07:26.240 That's not the case.
01:07:27.940 But InfoWars and Alex Jones gives me a platform to where I can reach more people.
01:07:33.240 They let me take what I do already and make it a job.
01:07:37.600 I get income now.
01:07:38.820 So this is a way for me to get my message out, but also getting paid to do what I love.
01:07:43.720 So just to stop you right there, you're slightly willing to risk your reputation for profit
01:07:51.480 is what you're saying.
01:07:52.280 I don't think that hurts my reputation
01:07:53.840 I don't
01:07:54.920 Alex Jones has been smeared by the media
01:07:58.020 So many times
01:07:59.000 He doesn't need a smear
01:08:00.640 I just watch him and watch the things he says 0.96
01:08:03.400 And it's pretty fucking evident the dude's got a problem 0.96
01:08:05.840 It's not just you 0.95
01:08:06.840 Everybody 1.00
01:08:08.220 He's eccentric, he's crazy 0.99
01:08:10.820 That's what I'm getting at 0.93
01:08:12.780 But he doesn't mean he's wrong on everything 0.99
01:08:15.140 I wouldn't want that guy owning a fucking handgun 0.99
01:08:18.220 I'll tell you that much 0.99
01:08:19.040 He's not wrong on everything
01:08:21.160 but what mike's saying is that you're identifying with someone who is so far in the direction that
01:08:28.540 they're like one of the only people in the world to get banned from twitter and facebook like
01:08:35.480 twitter twitter has people twitter you can have post porn you can't put alex jones can't have an
01:08:41.360 account that shows what type of madness is no that shows what these people are trying to censor
01:08:46.760 But if there's porn out there and then they want to censor Alex Jones for crazy opinions or the things he says, don't you think that says more about Twitter?
01:08:54.800 They're censoring him for reasons that he's he's a dangerous dude when he with his beliefs and what he's doing there.
01:09:02.120 I don't I don't there. He's not he's stirring people up to get angry and fight the system and go against things that why are we why are we operating like that?
01:09:12.360 And why are you associating with someone like that when we just had a whole discussion that you want, but you agree with us that we need to meet in the middle.
01:09:18.960 You're not going to meet in the middle.
01:09:19.940 No, I didn't say that.
01:09:20.240 I did not say that.
01:09:21.480 But here's a question.
01:09:22.660 Do you?
01:09:23.200 No, you agree that we should work together.
01:09:25.440 Which is meeting in the middle.
01:09:26.760 No, she thinks we're past that.
01:09:28.140 I said, I think as a society.
01:09:29.620 She also said that we should work together.
01:09:31.560 We can work together, but there is no more time for compromise.
01:09:35.120 We have compromised so much on our rights.
01:09:37.420 We have met in the middle so many times.
01:09:39.560 That's why I really don't care for the NRA.
01:09:41.900 Right. No, no. We still from the way from the way we started as a country was plenty of compromise.
01:09:48.280 We've always compromised and we should forever compromise.
01:09:51.680 I don't believe I don't believe with each other. Absolutely.
01:09:54.800 I mean, if you believe in if you believe in the United States, then you believe in compromise.
01:09:59.140 That's what our country was founded on.
01:10:00.600 I think our country was founded on the principle that these radical founders knew that we needed these rights in order to stay safe.
01:10:08.460 they compromised the north the north and the south like they got together and they compromised
01:10:15.520 okay well good so think about that think about those radical yes you're right okay there's
01:10:22.060 radical beliefs but they met in the middle and they compromised to get something done that so
01:10:27.220 much maybe we're saying you're saying we're moving on past that no i think it's time to done we're
01:10:32.660 done compromising that's that's a dangerous thought that's what i'm getting compromising
01:10:37.860 has already got us to where we are which is very we've and you guys say it's not enough that's so
01:10:43.360 scary no we have compromised enough sides giving up on negotiations is scary it is scary to imagine
01:10:51.180 that there is a rogue group of people in this country that are no longer willing to talk to
01:10:56.500 their brothers and sisters that's not what i'm saying i'm not saying that or not talk but to
01:11:00.680 come together and create legislative change that benefits all for the better but it doesn't benefit
01:11:05.520 all we haven't done a good enough job what more do we need real change common sense reform to come
01:11:13.380 by the way don't ask me what we need ask the lawmakers to come together we definitely need
01:11:19.320 i promise you the okay i'll tell you one example of compromise that we're going through right now
01:11:24.260 and that gun owners are extremely mad about is red flag gun laws there are so many republicans
01:11:29.880 that support red flag gun laws.
01:11:31.380 Do any of you know what red flag gun laws are?
01:11:34.000 Educate us.
01:11:34.660 So basically, if a family member or a friend
01:11:37.260 goes to the police and they're like, 0.95
01:11:39.140 this vegan over here is super, you know, mental. 0.99
01:11:43.020 He's a danger to himself. 1.00
01:11:44.820 He's a danger to the public.
01:11:46.740 You need to go take his firearms.
01:11:48.720 So what they'll do is they'll sit in front of a judge
01:11:50.660 and you don't even know this is happening. 0.69
01:11:52.960 Vegan over here doesn't know it's happening. 0.75
01:11:54.700 So we're like, okay, whatever.
01:11:57.040 So the judge says, okay, well, he's a danger.
01:11:59.100 let's go take his gun based just on hearsay yes they'll just go and take your guns a man in
01:12:04.860 maryland i think it was was already killed because of this the cops came in we're like give us your
01:12:09.460 guns and he's like what no like i'm not going to give you my guns there's no reason for it
01:12:14.360 and what stemmed from that just an argument at the dinner table and now this man is dead i think
01:12:19.320 that's a great i think it's a great point i i i can at the end of the day i think i want to hear
01:12:24.980 from logan to be honest i haven't heard from logan the whole time but my my point on that is that i
01:12:30.360 i really think that taking people's guns away is a very isn't even very dangerous slope because then
01:12:37.860 that's going to cause people to want to use those guns because they're not going to give them up
01:12:41.200 so i think that's like laws taking people's guns away unless we're talking about common sense
01:12:47.820 reform is i don't i don't necessarily agree with i don't even by the way i don't even think i care
01:12:54.120 as much about taking the guns away i think we just i just want to start doing a better job
01:12:57.700 going forward of who's getting the guns or future or like we were saying just to start to do or i
01:13:02.960 think like i said back to common sense i think that's extreme a little bit more extreme background
01:13:09.700 checks a little bit more extreme mental health have you ever taken a background check um
01:13:14.260 you're gonna say they're extreme i i'm aware i'm aware but but maybe it's up even another notch i
01:13:20.000 don't know or by the way maybe it's just the mental health portion of it that's up a notch
01:13:23.100 i don't know what it is i have a question yeah do you support a national gun registration
01:13:27.760 you have to you have to register your guns um i think once again that that seems like a question
01:13:38.380 that's backwards facing as opposed to how do we i mean like you're saying we need to take it a step
01:13:43.780 further should we have to register our firearms so that the government knows who has what's
01:13:48.800 currently the case is it not no okay so there we go again with this is so muddied yeah no it's it's
01:13:54.600 not legal currently to register a firearm but when you go into the system and you are you know
01:14:01.820 applying for a background check you're applying for a handgun i do not believe that the government
01:14:06.740 isn't holding on to that information they're not supposed to but i definitely don't think that
01:14:12.920 they're getting rid of it like they say they're supposed to get rid of all the background checks
01:14:17.180 or get rid of the file that they have on you
01:14:20.280 when you submit a background check
01:14:21.700 with your social security number
01:14:23.040 and your birthday and everything like that.
01:14:25.560 No, they're not supposed to be registering guns,
01:14:28.200 but they want to implement that.
01:14:29.920 I don't think that's a compromise that we should take.
01:14:32.140 Okay, so say it's not a compromise we take.
01:14:36.020 I think the whole point is we're $51.5 billion
01:14:41.560 or $3 billion are coming in annually from gun business.
01:14:46.120 610 billion dollars is our defense budget that's more than China Russia Saudi Arabia India France
01:14:54.580 UK Japan many other countries combined in America we have this like over this fascination about guns
01:15:04.220 and about weaponry and about killing and about attacking like when when does the conversation
01:15:11.020 at some point when when do we make efforts to just settle down on the amount of weapons that
01:15:17.520 are being sold settle down on the amount and the ease of get that stop incentivizing more weapons
01:15:24.420 being distributed start making it a little bit more difficult for people to get weapons and if
01:15:29.020 as a gun owner if you don't like that you have plenty of guns yet and you have plenty of time
01:15:33.500 right now get the guns you want to get but when do we agree if you get the guns you want to get
01:15:39.060 now because later on we're going to start restricting it doesn't that defeat the no it's
01:15:43.600 not it's not okay it it's how do we move forward as a society with compromise to don't that see
01:15:51.220 that so on a final on a final like another final note we don't move forward with compromise i think
01:15:57.320 that's where you're compromised way too much i i stand 100 firm but you're so that's like a
01:16:03.880 communist mindset no it's not a communist does not want an armed society no no it's it's a yeah
01:16:10.240 it's a dictator a dictator would say no would say no compromise taking your guns but i'm saying no
01:16:15.740 but it's no compromise so you're a dictator with that mindset no absolutely you're not saying you're
01:16:21.020 not say please have all these firearms so that you can okay you're looking at the specific i'm
01:16:26.980 talking about the mindset you're on the other end okay you're believing okay we have these guns but
01:16:31.080 it's a dictator mindset it's my way and this is gonna happen that's that's why people to have
01:16:35.460 their rights then so be it that's fine that's fine with me i that's why our country is going
01:16:40.520 through so much so much trouble i don't think people with your mindset that i don't think it's
01:16:44.300 don't know how to humble and talk with each other i i i can't hear anybody anymore 1.00
01:16:51.240 damn you took out the whole fuck okay it's a bag you fucked up i've just been listening 1.00
01:16:59.260 do you want to go headphones out okay can you hear yourself I got I can hear myself now I think 1.00
01:17:04.420 I think just on a final thing with that I completely disagree with you on that note on
01:17:10.060 that note I really do I think I think the only way to a solution is through incredible both 0.91
01:17:18.340 compromise collaboration and creative thinking and that is how this world fucking works there's 0.88
01:17:23.040 no there's no discussion about it and I know you shake your head but you have become too radical 0.96
01:17:28.020 for the center aisle you've become too radical for the right you've become too radical for the
01:17:32.440 NRA and you are now and you are now aligned with someone who should be locked in a mental facility
01:17:38.140 and I have to tell you that if you are able to just take your arguments make a little bit better
01:17:46.960 optical approach to how you do them and bring real legislature and real urge for compromise
01:17:53.560 from the things that you want find other like-minded people on the other side to conversate
01:17:57.960 with and start organizations that push for the for the right changes that you will see
01:18:03.920 real change in this country but if you continue like people on the left do on the far left
01:18:10.160 continue to isolate yourselves arm yourselves and and and prepare for some sort of guaranteed
01:18:17.940 um war between yourself and the rest of america well that's not what i'm doing it is it is what
01:18:23.460 it's going to end in a bad way for i think it would if if it came to that but i'm the one that's
01:18:28.260 prepared i would say that it's not going to end badly for me i'm not saying that i'm out here
01:18:32.680 trying to urge people to arm themselves to be able to to go out and and start the fight i'm not saying 0.75
01:18:38.880 that but i think it's stupid if we act like you're preparing for a fight like you're preparing for a 0.85
01:18:44.700 fight that's that's your your the people who follow you and the people who agree with you 0.92
01:18:50.000 that's what you guys are doing we prepare to be able to defend ourselves why don't you go out and
01:18:55.440 prepare others so that they don't have to do that yeah like why don't you put more focus on that to
01:19:01.020 some focus even some like take small steps as jay shetty said last thing if you're one of your
01:19:08.540 biggest worries and threats has been to defend yourself from a tyrannical government and i know
01:19:12.820 you hate the government you're scared of it and so and so and so you may win the fight against 0.99
01:19:18.580 leftist but i'm telling you right now when those f-16s start dropping bombs on you you are going 0.97
01:19:23.220 to lose that's why i say that gun control is not in our favor it's not if that starts happening 0.94
01:19:31.380 who would you rather stand beside someone that has a handgun or the same weapons that are being
01:19:35.300 at that point dig my hole if our country starts dropping bombs on us and going door to door
01:19:40.540 eric swalwell that's what he wants he threatened to a nuke gun owners that don't want to give up
01:19:46.360 And like I said, you got as many problems on the left as you do on the right.
01:19:50.600 And I'm not saying everybody on the right is right either.
01:19:53.540 So I'm right there with you.
01:19:55.700 Hey, I'm back.
01:19:56.700 Hey there, Logan.
01:19:57.800 Hi. 0.99
01:19:58.520 Damn y'all. 0.99
01:20:02.180 Interesting conversation. 0.99
01:20:04.220 I have a question.
01:20:05.300 Would you consider being less radically charged in order to further your viewpoint?
01:20:12.900 or are you set in stone on this is my mindset and this is how i'm going to approach people in
01:20:18.320 situations i mean what do you mean by the how i approach people in situations i do think you
01:20:23.840 instigate to instigate and i do think you provoke and this is coming from someone who 0.63
01:20:28.540 fucking provokes um and i know that energy and i often think the way you approach people with 0.88
01:20:35.560 your info wars microphone is is can be somewhat threatening to people and make them feel like 0.97
01:20:42.480 they need to read though i'm not i didn't say i said somewhat threatening it's scary when caitlin
01:20:48.560 bennett approaches people knowing your past and knowing the things you try to get out of people
01:20:53.840 and what people say to you it's almost like like spencer said like you're preparing for a fight
01:20:58.600 i almost feel like every time you come up to someone with a microphone you're preparing and
01:21:03.660 ready for a fight so i'm that's just the energy you give off we're big here on energy in california 0.89
01:21:09.900 especially in this house we meditate and shit i'm just saying i think if because you do make a lot 0.94
01:21:15.420 of valid points i'm not saying which ones i agree with or don't agree with mind you i'm from ohio 0.91
01:21:20.300 and i grew up hunting and i've i've hunted i i grew up with firearms my dad owns firearms
01:21:25.120 i think you could be more effective with your message and this is coming from a place of love
01:21:32.880 2019 love if you just take maybe a minor step back with how charged you enter conversation
01:21:40.280 so all i'm saying you often give affirmation without i feel like absorbing information do
01:21:49.240 you hear what i'm saying i hear what you're saying i've heard the argument a lot and i have learned a
01:21:54.900 lot too coming through this am i proud of everything i've put out on twitter no do i
01:21:59.920 like i said i felt bad after that because that came off completely wrong and a lot of times people
01:22:06.600 will make up things that i've said they've so many times they've made up things that i've said to
01:22:12.100 people on campus they go out and they lie about me about things that i've said or how i approach
01:22:16.300 things and it's not true so people already have that mindset about me people will cuss at me
01:22:22.080 going down the street you know what i mean so i do have them you're easy to hate hey mind you
01:22:26.400 I'm also easy to hate so I know what it's like but okay what I'm trying to do is not be so easy
01:22:31.820 to hate well that's that's you know if they hate me because of the things I say I can't control
01:22:37.240 I'm not going to censor myself or or you know butter things up or you know sugarcoat it to
01:22:43.060 make people happy that's not the type of person I am but I understand because I have learned a lot
01:22:48.780 from what I put out there and the backlash I've received I do when I go out I do try to be in
01:22:54.460 that mindset of, okay, let's make sure I'm out there, you know, poised and I'm conducting myself
01:23:00.460 with respect and, you know, I'm not being so aggressive because there are, I'm not going to
01:23:04.560 lie and say that I don't go out there and be aggressive. Sometimes I absolutely do. Especially
01:23:08.900 when I have a group of people around me saying to push me in front of a bus or say some, I was
01:23:15.520 doing interviews. People are aggressive. People are aggressive. And that's why, honestly, I wanted
01:23:18.840 you on the, on this podcast. And, and we even, as I'm sure you got feedback when you tweeted out,
01:23:24.240 like yo don't go on his podcast xyz we had people like don't have this girl on your podcast i don't
01:23:29.200 agree with that i don't agree with shutting people off without hearing them speak that's 0.95
01:23:32.960 fucking dangerous and ridiculous to me and that's gonna set the country and humans as a whole 0.85
01:23:38.480 backwards i think there's a lot of lies out there about you or misconceptions about you and there's 0.99
01:23:43.120 a lot of that about me too so when people were like don't go out there he's x y and z and i'm
01:23:47.820 like you do realize that people view me like that too and you're my friend and you know it's not
01:23:52.900 true so maybe that's not true about logan or maybe it's not true what have you heard i'm like i've 1.00
01:23:58.740 just heard that you were a dick in high school you and your brother are ridiculous 0.99
01:24:02.500 you don't say whoa hold up i was a fucking gem in high school all i did was study and work out 1.00
01:24:11.020 wrestle that's what i've heard jake on the other hand as he said was not the same way what else 0.90
01:24:17.660 have you heard yo i've just heard that you know you have no feelings towards other people and
01:24:22.880 that it all came back to the video in the forest all of it was about that and stemming from that
01:24:29.540 and then they made assumptions about your character about all of you based on one video
01:24:34.240 and that's what happens to me a lot and i was like well you've gone viral a lot a lot and a
01:24:40.380 lot based on you know things that aren't true or not the whole context of the story which
01:24:45.240 that's just the way it is yeah listen let's uh let's cool off we've been talking for a little
01:24:50.580 bit yeah i want to close out here with some pretty simple easy questions you uh just got engaged i
01:24:57.580 did congrats congrats congrats here's the guy wow hi justin justin yes justin do you you can nod
01:25:05.180 yes or no or even talk i can hear you do you receive threats do you receive hate for being 0.66
01:25:11.040 with her oh yes oh yes people have told him that they will find me rape me and make him watch 0.97
01:25:17.720 that's that's not that's not yeah that's uh that's disgusting that's not a threat but i'm 0.60
01:25:23.320 well i don't know is it but people have like you know straight up definition of a threat i mean
01:25:28.220 yeah because you know people if i say like oh people say they want me to die they'll be like
01:25:32.280 that's not technically a threat and i'm like that one's not but the way you roll yeah yeah but yeah
01:25:37.640 i mean saying that they're gonna rape me are you scared are you scared caitlin i when you go
01:25:42.640 outside i'm not gonna lie sometimes i it's daunting because i don't want to use my firearm 0.86
01:25:47.700 i don't want to have to pull it out on somebody i don't want to do that i think if you're a person 0.98
01:25:51.660 who wants to use your firearm to protect yourself you're fucked up i've i've literally like cried 0.97
01:25:57.920 in front of the police when i've gone to them with threats and i'm like please do something 0.99
01:26:01.600 because i feel like if no one has repercussions even just like even a warning i just got called
01:26:07.700 the fbi called me when i was heading to the airbnb yesterday the fbi called that happened a lot it's 0.84
01:26:13.980 happened once before because they had a credible threat against me damn yeah are you ever refused 0.51
01:26:19.980 entry access uh invitation because of who you are no but i have left out of feeling uncomfortable
01:26:27.240 in situations in uh stores and restaurants i just i don't make a scene i just leave yeah 0.88
01:26:33.860 if you're out there and you're gonna give caitlin shit in a public setting and like call her names 0.97
01:26:39.300 or threaten her don't fucking do that like that's that's immature and just like honestly don't do 1.00
01:26:43.120 that that's that's immature it's it's it's stupid um i hey hey but if you want to do it for me that's 1.00
01:26:49.500 fine yeah do it i got you he can handle it you're also like working on my boxing skills 0.98
01:26:55.980 his hands are his weapons what just uh one other quick thing too i think uh going back to this
01:27:05.500 thought of like non-compromised this is quick i i uh i hope that you can leave and like start to
01:27:12.800 maybe shift that belief because i think a lot of your other like um supplementary beliefs about
01:27:19.280 like ownership and like protection and like all this like very anti-anti stuff is based on this
01:27:24.700 belief that we are past a place of compromise and friendship and collaboration and i hope like
01:27:29.760 at least open your mind to it oh and because by the way i'm quite cynical myself and i get and i
01:27:34.320 get dystopian at times as well and i want to protect myself from the zombie apocalypse occasionally
01:27:39.420 as well okay do you have an apocalyptic bunker do i yeah i don't disclose that no i don't have
01:27:45.500 one i guess but i think i know where i could go if i ever needed one so where would you go what
01:27:52.120 would be what would be your plan what if there's zombies we're all in this together i'm not a zombie
01:27:57.580 at this point she's not she's not on your team i will reach out to logan and i will say gather
01:28:02.980 the troops let's get your crew really i will save some space in the bunker going to going to zanesville
01:28:09.460 one yeah we're going to zanesville hey i have one final yeah me too i have one final you know what
01:28:14.700 no you do the final first okay thank you because i want the first final this is more important
01:28:18.340 all right have you this is a two-part question so it's two finals i'm sorry sorry over there
01:28:23.180 logan finals have you ever have you ever meditated i have not i have an interesting
01:28:29.280 interesting challenge to you and let's say the nra as well i'm all with the nra okay
01:28:36.900 but you know we have to work with them i'll reach out right and ask if they will
01:28:42.260 there are thousands of studies providing evidence that meditation helps to calm people down it takes
01:28:52.140 them harvard did an eight-week study that showed the reduction of gray matter in the amygdala
01:28:56.900 through brain scans that meditation brings more energy to the parts of our brain that are relaxed
01:29:05.720 takes us out of anxiety takes us out of fear takes us out of stress i'm open yourself you've
01:29:11.540 never tried it i have not but i big reason because you come from ohio i come from michigan they don't
01:29:16.460 believe in that stuff they think it's fufu or religious you drink almond milk i don't is that
01:29:21.280 another challenge you like soy it's another challenge no no soy no i'm not going that far
01:29:25.500 yet but my challenge to all those people is to if we were to implement some form of mindfulness
01:29:31.800 into these organizations i think that would go much farther than talking about the nitty-gritty
01:29:38.280 do we believe guns should be here do we believe we should go take these weapons blah blah blah
01:29:42.900 whatever both sides are all that's nonsense it's opinions i think a great thing for you to look
01:29:48.920 into is to try meditation and if you gain some benefit out of it then maybe promote that a little
01:29:55.640 bit more because that that is a studied proven direct way that you could make a big impact
01:30:01.480 with this conversation instead of fighting okay i'm open to meditation there we go that's fine 0.98
01:30:08.480 do you like that was that good that was good because like yo we can make some serious fucking 0.67
