The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： David Nagel ｜ 8⧸11⧸22

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.

00:01:49.520 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

00:02:02.560 1930s, you know. It's a really big deal, and something that Goldline can help you with right now.

00:02:55.400 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 1.00

00:03:53.540 looked at her ass, have you? No, I haven't. I haven't. However, I have listened to what comes 0.96

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. 1.00

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 0.54

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 0.97

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, 1.00

00:14:32.720 a former president and do a search before we issue a subpoena. That's insanity.

00:14:44.620 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

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 1.00

00:15:42.220 in public service. You know, this is the thing. If she's obviously so good at investing that if she 0.98

00:15:48.900 had just leave, she would just leave her post as speaker of the house, she could make trillions of 0.96

00:15:55.200 dollars. Wow. But she's sacrificing and staying in there despite the fact she's able to double her 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.98

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 1.00

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 0.91

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.

00:37:17.960 Na, na, na, na, na, na.
