00:00:00.000
Today's podcast, we talked about the possibilities of what I think are coming, what's going to
00:00:07.380
happen this fall with this election, and due to the raid on Donald Trump's house, we gave you the
00:00:13.900
update on all of that. Plus, we talked to a firearms dealer, and this is happening all over
00:00:22.020
the country, where the ATF is coming in, and they are taking pictures of all of the purchase
00:00:28.500
information. They are making a national gun registry. Whether you like it or not, they're just
00:00:34.780
doing it, not worrying about any consequences. What do we do on that? We have more information
00:00:42.160
on that as well. And we'll talk about what the latest is going on that's happening with the
00:00:46.180
economy. As far as I know, he's on a big winning streak, that Joe Biden. Everything's going
00:00:52.600
swimmingly. Yeah, so we know that, as he said yesterday, inflation rate is zero, which, as
00:00:58.340
we explained on yesterday's podcast, is absolutely not true. But today, we also went into the
00:01:05.080
incredible job creation, something that I got hammered for, saying a couple of weeks ago,
00:01:11.940
well, I just went in and made sure that my research department buttoned up absolutely everything,
00:01:17.480
and I'm going to represent the evidence of the amazing job growth in America on today's podcast.

They could be saving up for retirement, but also building a protective wall against inflation and
00:01:55.580
other forms of economic insanity that might pop up from time to time, you know, like now, or in the

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:59.360
So, I just want to play a couple of pieces here, and I don't have it on my sheet, but I understood that we have
00:03:14.860
the audio of the attorney general in New York. Now, this is the person who's asking him questions,
00:03:23.280
and the media's like, he's saying I plead the fifth. Why would you do that unless you're guilty?
00:03:30.140
Well, first of all, that's not what the Fifth Amendment says. It's not like, if you're guilty,
00:03:36.420
just say plead the fifth. It is so you aren't trapped into something, especially if you have a
00:03:45.460
nasty-ass attorney general going after you. Now, why would I say she's nasty-ass? You've never really
00:03:53.540
looked at her ass, have you? No, I haven't. I haven't. However, I have listened to what comes
00:04:00.220
out of her mouth. You tell me if you had a Republican saying this about even Joe Biden,
00:04:10.080
elect me, because the left and the Democrats would say, oh, they're going to get a fair shake
00:04:17.700
in a deposition. Listen to this. What is fueling my soul right now is Trump. Will you sue him for us?
00:04:25.800
Oh, we're going to definitely sue him. We're going to be a real pain in the ****. I look forward to going
00:04:30.100
into the office of attorney general every day, suing him, and then going home. He said I know my name
00:04:36.840
personally. Okay, so that's who he's facing, somebody who is in his soul. She lives to put
00:04:45.640
him in jail. She's going to sue him and then go home, and the next day, sue him and go home.
00:04:51.840
Donald Trump, I don't think, has ever, I don't think there's anyone in American history, and I'm
00:04:58.580
seriously asking, if you think you know of somebody, let me know. I don't think there's ever been a
00:05:06.220
politician or anybody in the public view that has not had any charges brought against him,
00:05:14.600
I'm sorry, has not found, been found guilty, or had any kind of real solid evidence against him
00:05:24.080
that has gone through what he has gone through. We know about the impeachments. We, we know that
00:05:30.480
they have been accusing him of Russia stuff. We, you know, a perfect phone call. That wasn't a perfect
00:05:35.560
phone call. I'll show you a perfect phone call. All of the stuff that you know about. Well, let me just
00:05:42.440
give you the lawsuits that he's currently dealing with. He's dealing with the one in New York. He has
00:05:52.740
Jean Carroll, the defamation and federal tort claims. Carroll is suing Trump for defamation after
00:06:00.960
he publicly accused her of fabricating rape allegations against him. Summer Zervos, a former
00:06:07.160
contestant for The Apprentice, has filed a civil suit against the former president for defamation after
00:06:11.600
he claimed her allegations of his inappropriate sexual contact were, were lies designed to help the
00:06:17.700
Clinton campaign. Okay. The Mary Trump fraud litigation. Mary Trump is suing Donald Trump for
00:06:24.340
defrauding her out of millions of dollars in inheritance dispute. Really? That comes up right
00:06:30.060
after he's, I mean, how long has that been going on? Mary Panama hotel fraud in tax litigation. He has
00:06:37.800
the John Doe versus the Trump corporation class action. A group of anonymous plaintiffs have filed a
00:06:44.760
class action suit against the Trump family and their businesses, alleged that the Trumps use their
00:06:50.060
brand to scam investors into paying for worthless business opportunities. You have the DC civil suit
00:06:56.500
over misuse of 2017 inauguration funds. You have the representative Karen Bass et al incitement suit
00:07:06.480
for January 6th. This is 10 members of the house represented by the NAACP that are suing Trump,
00:07:14.760
Rudy Giuliani, two white right-wing militia groups for conspiring to forcibly prevent Congress from
00:07:21.220
counting the electoral college votes on January 6th. Eric Swalwell, you know, Fang Fang's thing.
00:07:28.920
The incitement suit. He's suing him for, along with Mo Brooks and Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump,
00:07:39.380
they're all being sued for the same thing. He's incited this. The Capitol police, two Capitol
00:07:46.160
police officers, both on duty, January 6th insurrection, sued Donald Trump for his injuries
00:07:51.580
that they sustained. Then you have 10 Capitol police suits from January 6th. Second group of
00:08:01.160
Capitol police officers filing suit against Donald Trump, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers.
00:08:05.720
Then you have a third Capitol police suit over the January 6th. Third suit. One Capitol police
00:08:13.200
officer alleging physical and emotional injuries he suffered. Then you have, of course, the Metropolitan
00:08:18.880
Police suit. So he's got all these individual cops and then the union decided, you know what,
00:08:26.920
we're going to sue him too. Then you have the NAACP's legal defense fund over the voting rights
00:08:33.140
for post-election actions. Then you have the New York Attorney General's civil and criminal
00:08:38.600
investigations. There's tons of that. Then you have the Scotland unexplained wealth orders
00:08:46.200
lawsuit. Then you have the Trump Tower assault suit. Then Michael Cohen is suing him for retaliatory
00:08:56.460
imprisonment. Then you have criminal investigation into Trump's finances. Let's see here. There's a
00:09:03.980
whole bunch of updates on that. Then you have the DCAG incitement criminal investigation. You have the
00:09:10.360
Fulton County Georgia criminal election influence investigation. You have the Westchester, New York
00:09:16.600
criminal investigation of the Trump organization golf course. You have the National Archives
00:09:21.380
investigation that he mishandled classified material. I don't think I have all of them.
00:09:29.460
Okay. I don't think I have all of them. I don't know of anyone who has ever had this kind of a
00:09:39.340
coordinated attack against them. If you don't think a lot of these are funded by, you know,
00:09:45.760
the left and Soros and those kinds of people, you're fooling yourself. You're fooling yourself.
00:09:52.900
They are doing everything they can just to get this guy to give up. This is what it means to stand
00:10:01.660
against the machine. I have to tell you, I don't know what Donald Trump would do with a second term.
00:10:09.200
I don't know. But I know they don't want him to have one. I know for sure he knows who they are.
00:10:22.160
And I can't imagine anyone more motivated to bust this machine up than him.
00:10:28.200
What is it about him that they despise? And don't tell me it's because, oh, he's just,
00:10:36.120
he's rude. He's, that's what, he's rude. Really? Is that it? So wait a minute, let me see. You guys
00:10:46.200
are hanging out with hookers and criminals and the Chinese Communist Party and you don't like him
00:10:52.720
because he's rude. Don't think so. The rule of law is an absolute joke in America. And I want to,
00:11:03.380
I want to show you, have you seen anyone who has come under this kind of persecution?
00:11:10.040
even after he leaves office. And trust me, if he would have won a second term, which I think he did,
00:11:21.880
but I don't know. If he won a second term, they wouldn't be doing all these lawsuits at the end of
00:11:30.740
that. This is not some moral outrage. This is just to stop him. By the way, I talked to some sources in
00:11:41.160
New York last night and it came out early this morning or late last night that his attorney was
00:11:50.220
kept 10 feet away from the warrant. They flashed the warrant and said, here's, here's the warrant.
00:11:58.140
Let me see it. No. After they held the warrant away, 10 feet away. She was not allowed to grab the
00:12:07.200
warrant and read the warrant. That is against the law. That's against the law. Then after they left,
00:12:15.780
they handed her the warrant. Now she didn't get the attachments. And I think that is legal. You don't
00:12:22.600
necessarily get the affidavits attached to it right away, but you do eventually see that. They now have
00:12:30.120
that, but she wasn't allowed to see it, nor was she, his attorney, allowed to go into Mar-a-Lago.
00:12:38.060
When they went in, they, they went into his bedroom, spent an enormous amount of time in Melania's, uh,
00:12:47.660
closet. They broke into his safe in his office. That warrant better damn well say that they can
00:12:55.400
break into that safe because the law is you can't go into somebody's house and search and just tear
00:13:02.860
it all apart. You have to have a pretty good idea of where things might be located. You ask for
00:13:09.720
permission for those areas and you have to know exactly what you're looking for. And if it's in a
00:13:16.140
safe, you need to specifically say it's in a safe and we're having a safe cracker come in.
00:13:23.400
If they didn't say in the warrant that they could crack his safe, it's the fruit of the poison tree.
00:13:29.560
By the way, there was nothing in the safe. What they broke into was a safe room that he had shown
00:13:38.280
the, uh, the, uh, the national archives and investigators as they were talking about,
00:13:44.280
uh, you know, the, the archives that they said should be in the national archives. He said it
00:13:50.580
should be at home. We're working it out between our attorneys. They said, fine, you just have to
00:13:56.340
have this in a locked room. So he made a safe room and put two locks on it at their request.
00:14:04.260
That's what they broke into. This doesn't sound good for the FBI. And I think that is why
00:14:15.500
Merrick Merrick Garland now is suddenly like, I didn't know about it. I had no idea. This was
00:14:20.580
Christopher Ray. You didn't know about it. You should be fired by the president. If your staff
00:14:28.080
underneath you just says, you know what? I'm going to go into the house of a foreign, I mean,
00:14:32.720
a former president and do a search before we issue a subpoena. That's insanity.
00:14:47.320
All right. So Nancy Pelosi comes into office. She has $3 million. Then by the time Obama gets
00:15:03.540
into office, that's ballooned to $31 million. By the day he leaves office, that's ballooned to,
00:15:11.360
uh, $61 million. Are you getting the trend here? I mean, just in eight years of, she's good at this
00:15:18.680
is what she's very good at this. She knows, she knows the markets. Right. And then two years later,
00:15:24.920
two years later, her 61 turns into 114 million. It's incredible. She's great. She's a great business
00:15:32.360
person. Leave office. Yeah. I mean, can you imagine? I mean, I would invest in a hedge fund
00:15:36.960
that was doubling their money every two years. Now here's the problem. She's just too interested
00:15:42.220
in public service. You know, this is the thing. If she's obviously so good at investing that if she
00:15:48.900
had just leave, she would just leave her post as speaker of the house, she could make trillions of
00:15:55.200
dollars. Wow. But she's sacrificing and staying in there despite the fact she's able to double her
00:16:00.880
money every couple of years. It's incredible. Now she did it again with that $5 million in
00:16:05.480
computer chips before Congress voted on their semiconductor bill. I don't even know why I put
00:16:11.280
that last part of the sentence in because it's completely unrelated because she's so good at
00:16:15.340
picking stocks. She was able to predict this legislation that affected this industry in a
00:16:22.040
major way. I mean, if you were an investor, that would be an incredible skill. Now here is Nancy
00:16:28.100
Pelosi because you say to yourself, wait a minute, wait a minute. Why did Nancy Pelosi go against
00:16:32.700
the Pentagon, go against the president? What is the driving force behind Nancy Pelosi's just great
00:16:41.920
desire to go to Taiwan? Well, she said, here it is. Listen.
00:16:47.420
When I was a little girl, I was told at the beach if I dug a hole deep enough, we would reach China.
00:16:53.480
So we've always felt a connection there. What? You don't, what the, what is she, what is your
00:17:04.360
connection to Taiwan? Why do you find it so, why do you have such this deep connection that you had
00:17:10.220
to go to Taiwan? Because she was at the beach as a kid. At the beach as a little girl and she was told
00:17:14.940
if I could dig my way all the way, if I dig long enough, I will go to China. And I've always had that
00:17:21.940
connection. Now, if you question that you're such a cynic, such a cynic, it has, it, what are you
00:17:34.140
going to say? It had something to do with the stock trading of the companies that make computer chips,
00:17:38.460
you know, because Taiwan is the largest source for computer chips. Nancy, sure. She was working
00:17:46.320
on the semiconductor bill when they bought all of that. And it has nothing to do with the largest
00:17:51.400
semiconductor manufacturer, TSMC being in Taiwan. I mean, she went there to show support, American
00:17:59.540
support for the country and the people of Taiwan. She didn't take her time out to meet with TSMC
00:18:06.520
officials. She wouldn't be anywhere near Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturers, right?
00:18:13.400
Oh, oh gosh. Oh, just up on the screen. It just came up. Wow. What a horrible, uh, that's bad
00:18:21.340
timing. Washington Post, Pelosi to meet with Taiwan's biggest semiconductor manufacturer, TSMC.
00:18:29.960
Well, I mean, stop being such a cynic. Okay. So she had a sit down, you know, one-on-one,
00:18:37.960
mano-a-mano, you know, maybe with her son. I don't know. Uh, you know, they, they met with
00:18:45.320
a TSMC boss, but, but she doesn't own any TMS, TSMC stock. She doesn't. So she's not, well,
00:18:53.900
okay. She does have quote, a significant stake in the asset management firm, which is Alice,
00:19:04.520
um, Alliance Bernstein, uh, Alliance owns 1.46 million shares of TSMC, but she's only making
00:19:16.220
money if Alliance makes money, not if TM, uh, TSMC makes money. I mean, she doesn't care if they make
00:19:26.440
money or don't make money. She's only got 1.46 million shares in the company that is the asset
00:19:33.100
management firm. So, I mean, you know, it's like, I, I don't have any Tesla stock. I only make money
00:19:40.460
when Elon Musk makes money. What, why would I, I don't have a single share in Tesla. Okay.
00:19:48.980
What's wrong with you? This is what is happening in our government. And, uh, Mitch McConnell
00:19:57.160
is not free of connections in China. These are the people that are in charge. This is why they
00:20:07.320
don't retire. This is why they don't go away. This is why their families, their sons go on trips with
00:20:16.440
them. No, he was just being there as an escort for mommy. That's it. We cuddled, we colored on the
00:20:23.420
plane, you know, and I'm sorry, we didn't colored. We, we, we, we, is that word? Okay.
00:20:33.500
To say, I think they read SkyMall magazine quite a bit. That was a lot of orders from SkyMall.
00:20:38.700
They got those pillows that cover your whole face. Wait a minute. The pillow that covers
00:20:43.800
your face. Oh, is that the one that he was holding down over mom's face for a while?
00:20:47.660
That's a different pillow. Okay. So anyway, um, he went and he met with people. He went separately
00:20:57.140
on his own business deals. What is his business? Who is he meeting with? That's exactly like Hunter
00:21:04.900
without the cocaine, the crack or the hookers. And I can't say that he didn't have cocaine cracker
00:21:11.100
hookers. I just know that he met with business people. This is what they do. And no one is
00:21:18.340
even willing. That'll be the last question. That'll be the last question to Nancy Pelosi
00:21:22.780
on this. Oh, she said, no, he wasn't doing anything. Okay. All right.
00:21:29.220
S.E. Cupp said yesterday on CNN that this is ridiculous. Do we have that cut by any chance?
00:21:46.040
This is just ridiculous. I mean, there's no way there's no way that, uh, the people actually
00:21:53.760
even care about this, um, raid. They don't think that this is a bad thing. No, S.E. in
00:22:03.140
your little group of friends now in Manhattan at the CNN headquarters, you may not think it's
00:22:09.780
a bad thing, but I guarantee you if exactly the same conditions were reversed and Donald
00:22:16.580
Trump had done that to Hillary Clinton, if he would have followed through with his locker
00:22:22.340
up, where there was evidence there and clear laws broken, you would have gone out of your
00:22:31.880
mind and all of your friends would have gone out of your mind. This is not about, Hey, Donald
00:22:38.480
Trump is the Prince of Peace. No, if he did something illegal, then you bust him. You certainly
00:22:48.240
don't bust him over a bunch of papers that he's already talking to the national archives
00:22:54.600
over. You don't do that. Barack Obama walked out with 31 million pieces of paper and he put
00:23:04.320
them in a, in a furniture, an old furniture war warehouse in Chicago. That doesn't seem too
00:23:11.320
safe now, does it? 31 million pages. You didn't see him arrested, did you? Or you didn't see
00:23:20.260
him under scrutiny where they break down the doors without a subpoena. This is going to
00:23:27.460
backfire on them, but it is also going to backfire on the Republicans. Mitch McConnell right now
00:23:35.520
was like, we're just, we're going to, we, all we have to say is that we're, we're not
00:23:40.400
the Democrats. Uh, look, look how bad the Democrats are and, uh, and people will like us.
00:23:50.900
Welcome to Orrin Hatch 2.0. Orrin Hatch said to Stu and I, do you remember this meeting?
00:23:57.660
We had a meeting with Orrin Hatch 2008, 2009. Uh, and Jason Chaffetz was just starting to gain
00:24:06.680
steam. And he's like, Oh, Jason Chaffetz, nobody really knows who he is. Uh, no, he,
00:24:12.800
Oren, the world is changing now. And he said, well, all I have to do is just, uh, uh, just, uh,
00:24:21.120
bring up a flag burning amendment. Oh, that riles up the base. And Stu and I looked at him and went,
00:24:27.480
are you, are you serious? Oh, I've done a million times, uh, riles up the base, gets them to the
00:24:36.880
polls. Okay. All right. Uh, Orrin Hatch didn't get it. We're not living in 2010. The Republicans
00:24:46.880
have one chance, one last chance. I'm going to give you the, what I think,
00:24:57.480
are the three possible scenarios that are right around the corner. And you tell me if they're not
00:25:07.880
all plausible, I don't know which one is more likely, but it's going to be one of these three
00:25:17.600
or four things that happen in the next few months. I'll give that to you coming up. Also the lies,
00:25:26.000
the fraud of the Biden Harris administration on trying to hide the economic truth from you.
00:25:33.760
All right. We have, uh, um, we have a guy who I think is very, very brave. He is the owner of
00:25:52.240
black metal firearms, LLC. Um, his name is David Nagel. Welcome David. How are you?
00:25:59.760
Um, excited to be on you. Uh, I bet before you posted, uh, that video, uh, it, it, uh, probably
00:26:12.760
was very difficult and you probably had a little prayer or a lot of thought on it on whether or
00:26:17.840
not that was the best thing to do. Am I right? Well, to be honest, the video sat in my phone
00:26:24.400
since January. Um, and for the longest time, it was just kind of a game of keep your head down and
00:26:30.280
hope that they leave you alone. But as, uh, we started hearing more and more news coming down
00:26:35.860
through the industry, it became pretty well apparent that, uh, keeping our head down was not going to
00:26:42.260
help us. Cause, uh, unfortunately everyone prior to us also kept their head down and ended up losing
00:26:47.420
their licenses anyway. So at a certain point, um, honestly it was because we had an irate customer
00:26:54.080
that was upset about the coming rulings that the ATF is putting out regarding some of the stuff that
00:27:00.200
we sell. And, you know, he was showing a rather irate level of concern for, uh, the legal troubles
00:27:09.080
that he could face. And after listening to him blow up at myself and my wife over something that we have
00:27:15.420
no control over, I kind of felt it was necessary to let everyone know, like, this is what we're actually
00:27:22.200
dealing with on our end. And, uh, it was kind of a spur of the moment, like, you know what, here's,
00:27:30.560
here's what's really going on. And we posted the video. I didn't expect it was going to get nearly
00:27:36.120
as much traction as it did. I was hoping it would get something, but, um, as, as you've known to this
00:27:44.980
point, uh, yeah, we did reach out to a lot of different entities prior to this, um, up to and
00:27:50.740
including discussing with, uh, the state attorney general. Who is your state attorney general? What
00:27:55.660
state are you in? Arizona. And your state attorney general didn't help you? So it was kind of, um,
00:28:03.740
it was kind of, uh, an indirect meeting, uh, where we voiced our concerns through another FFL that was
00:28:09.680
meeting with him. And the impression that we got was, sorry, it's a federal thing. I can't help you.
00:28:16.800
Now to be, to, to, to be direct, what was discussed at that point was more about saving
00:28:23.360
our license rather than, um, the content of the video. So the content of the video was something
00:28:31.680
that we had sat on for a while, because honestly it's really difficult to say, yes, this is not
00:28:37.360
okay. When you have a federal agent sitting in front of you. And we did in fact, confront her
00:28:44.040
about it when she was, uh, taking pictures of our records. And we asked her, you know, Hey,
00:28:49.200
it looks like you're creating a registry. And she said, no, that would be illegal.
00:28:53.860
So we did what we felt was the best thing we could do, which was recorded. Um, we have quite
00:29:01.420
a bit of recording. A lot of it, we were not able to share because there is personal information
00:29:05.680
visible in it. Um, you know, contact numbers, things of that sort. So we didn't want to put people
00:29:10.940
on blast like that. But when you said, cause if I'm not mistaken, you said to her, look,
00:29:17.280
um, you know, a lot of people will have a problem with this because it looks like you're doing a
00:29:22.660
registry and, uh, you're taking all of this information. And didn't she say something
00:29:27.540
about your customers? Uh, she said quite a few things about our customers, but, uh, to,
00:29:33.160
to get to what you're referring to, um, we said, Hey, you know, our customers think this looks a
00:29:38.340
little, little off. And she says, Oh, it sounds like your customers are just being paranoid.
00:29:42.740
Maybe I should look into them a little bit more, which I thought was really creepy.
00:29:46.640
That's a threat. Um, that's a threat. It is. Um, and, um, I mean, I have, I have a customer who is,
00:29:55.080
uh, of Iranian birth. Uh, he's been living in the United States for decades and his name came up
00:30:02.840
because he's purchased firearms from us several times. You know, she was on his list of interesting
00:30:07.520
people. Um, you know, and at one point, you know, she, when she was discussing with us about
00:30:13.800
our interesting people, she goes, and you have a few gun nuts in here. And, you know, I politely
00:30:19.180
correct us. I would prefer the term gun enthused. She goes, no, they're nuts. And I felt that was
00:30:25.480
kind of a backhanded way of describing the average American, you know, because, uh, if,
00:30:31.760
if we're all nuts, then what are, what are you governing us? Right. And what rights do we have
00:30:38.900
in your mind to be able to have these guns? If, if I'm a gun collector, which I am, if I'm a gun
00:30:46.340
collector and I have more guns than somebody in New York city, does that make me nuts to them?
00:30:53.600
I think so, but I'm a collector of them and others who might collect something else or might
00:31:00.280
be really interested in something else. They might have, you know, you know, a thousand Pez
00:31:06.460
dispensers. I might think that's nuts, but that's their passion. And that's what we live with in
00:31:13.560
America. People with different passions. And we're certainly passionate about what we do. Um, a lot of
00:31:20.100
our customers are, I mean, I would say that we have some customers that are, uh, rather enthusiastic
00:31:25.500
about supporting us. And we're very happy to see the amount of support that we've gotten. Um, I mean,
00:31:31.340
it has definitely come with its drawbacks because a lot of people think that it is something that we
00:31:35.940
did wrong, that we are not trustworthy as a business, that we allowed this to occur. Um, but if you were to
00:31:42.280
swap into any of the FFL forums where this has been discussed, uh, it's extremely prevalent to the point
00:31:48.620
where almost every dealer that I've spoken to, uh, in the forums thinks that I'm out of line for even
00:31:55.720
suggesting that this is wrong because it happens everywhere. And I think, but newly happens or is
00:32:03.320
this something that's been going on for 20 years? Uh, well, I've only been in business for about eight
00:32:09.660
and to, to that end, I've never seen anything like this. Um, we've been audited three prior times
00:32:17.160
to that. And, you know, audit is different than audit is different. If I'm not mistaking,
00:32:24.160
the, the ATF has a right to come in and should audit you. If there's any discrepancies, you work
00:32:31.180
on those discrepancies, but they don't have a right to your customer list and to see, unless it's part
00:32:39.500
of the discrepancy, correct? That is my understanding. Yeah. Okay. Uh, and go ahead.
00:32:47.660
Well, according to their handbook, yeah, they're not supposed to make copies of records and something
00:32:52.720
of the sort, unless it is particularly pertinent to their investigation, which, you know, that would
00:32:58.200
usually be a particular person or a clerical error in question. But I mean, uh, based on our closeout of
00:33:06.580
our audit, I didn't have 4,000 entry errors to cover all of the pages that she covered. So I'm curious
00:33:14.120
what exactly her, her rationale was for copying everything. And it clearly wasn't part of my
00:33:20.540
audit. Okay. Do you have an attorney? I actually have one for our trying to help us retain our
00:33:28.540
license. I have another one that we're starting to work with more for the side of helping our
00:33:33.540
customers because of the breach of privacy. Um, you started a go fund me. Um, it's, uh, just go fund me
00:33:43.440
help black metal firearms. Um, and you can do your own homework. You can follow them and see the
00:33:51.220
Facebook page where they posted this. This woman, uh, clearly is not a fan of firearms or people that
00:33:59.680
carry or want to use firearms. Um, and you have her on tape taking photos of all of the records, which
00:34:07.000
is illegal. Um, I, I'm going to reach out to your, um, your, um, attorney general. Who's your attorney
00:34:15.320
general? I don't know them. The attorney general is Mark Brnovich and Republican Democrat. He is a
00:34:23.380
Republican. Yeah. He was actually just running for Senate. He, uh, didn't make the, uh, the primary,
00:34:29.280
but, um, he, so I, I don't know what his rationale was for everything that's gone on to this point.
00:34:38.100
Now, again, the, this, the scope of what we're trying to do has changed since we indirectly reached
00:34:44.400
out to him. Um, and I have been told by several other people that are law enforcement in the area,
00:34:50.560
both federal and state that, um, his jurisdiction on this matter may actually be revived because,
00:34:58.300
uh, since she was using an iPhone for this particular action, if her data was saved to an
00:35:07.440
iCloud storage of some sort that counts as digital transmission of personal information that does not
00:35:13.460
belong to her, which is by itself a state felony. So it is something that I think we should probably
00:35:20.960
explore, but, um, I mean, to be kind of honest, I don't really know if I have much hope for the
00:35:27.600
outcome on that, but. Well, we have to have, we have to start demanding it from our attorney generals
00:35:32.640
and you did the right thing. Um, and you keep being loud, uh, and calm and, uh, do everything
00:35:40.900
exactly right. But I, I personally, I mean, I'm, I'm going to have our, our producers look into this
00:35:46.940
a little more. Maybe we'll give an update here tomorrow, the next day. Um, but, uh, uh, uh,
00:35:52.040
there's gotta be a class action suit. I mean, this is against the law. Yeah, there has to be a class
00:35:57.820
action because we have, we have a lot of customers that were involved in this. Um, we have been handing
00:36:02.400
out, uh, pages that, uh, basically have the instructions to file a formal complaint, uh,
00:36:09.500
against, uh, at the ATF's website, particularly naming this event. Um, so pretty much every
00:36:15.980
customer we've had for the last few years, I mean, technically going all the way back to the beginning
00:36:20.420
from 2014. Um, a lot of them are friends of mine from Facebook because they were our garage days. And
00:36:26.340
a lot of them are, uh, people that have been in and out of our store for the last several years. So
00:36:31.220
we've been trying to let everyone know so that they do get documented as complaining and filing a
00:36:37.180
formal complaint, making sure that they get the complaint number. Um, so that way there is some
00:36:43.540
sort of traceable proof because we don't want, uh, documents to go missing. Um, all right. Thank you
00:36:51.380
so much. I'm, we're going to check back in with you, uh, David, uh, David is the owner of black metal
00:36:57.160
firearms. If you'd like to help them with their fight to keep their license,
00:37:01.220
and also, uh, for attorney help, you can go to go fund me, help black metal firearms,
00:37:07.820
black help, black metal firearms. Um, thank you, David. We'll be, we'll be in touch again. Let
00:37:13.340
us know if there's any update in between, will you? Thank you, Glenn. I will. You bet. Thank you.
