WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:00.920 Morning boys. 2 00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:04.240 Hey Mike, well done, because you took the words right 3 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:08.119 out of my brain. Why is it always on the 4 00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:12.519 victim to do everything possible to de escalate a situation? 5 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:16.079 Why is it on us to run away from somebody 6 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:17.000 threatening us? 7 00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.239 We were all raised. 8 00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.800 In a time where you can't always walk away from 9 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.000 a conflict. Sometimes you're going to have to fight. So 10 00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:28.280 why blame the victim? Have a great day? 11 00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.039 You know, because I'm a smart ass, I'm tempted to 12 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.719 take the very beginning of his comment, and well, of 13 00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.759 course I took it because I'm brilliant, and I took 14 00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.039 it right out of course, of course, So why are 15 00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.960 you shocked by this? But I don't want to do 16 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:54.880 that because you actually it's it's even worse than what 17 00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.000 you're thinking. Or maybe you're thinking it, but you didn't. 18 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.560 You didn't take it to the next level. And the 19 00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.399 next level that I want to take it to is this. 20 00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:09.719 This this constant shift of everything to law abiding citizens 21 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:15.280 and not allowing or permitting us to take actions. Is 22 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:22.239 the result of this overgrowth of government and this idea 23 00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:24.120 that we and and look, don't get me wrong, I 24 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.400 absolutely believe in civil rights. I believe in due process, 25 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.040 both substantive and procedural. I think you need to do 26 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.680 all of those things. But having said all of that, 27 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.640 we've gone the pendulum has gone so far to the 28 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.920 other side that we can no longer live in a 29 00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.480 free and open society. And so if you want to, 30 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:46.400 if you want to understand, go back to me yesterday's conversation. 31 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:55.159 You know, I really, I really struggled after yesterday's program 32 00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:00.280 because I and maybe I did, but I came to 33 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.239 the conclusion that I don't care. I have to come 34 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.359 to that conclusion a lot about a lot of the 35 00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.000 things that I talked about, saying that I just don't 36 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:13.879 care because it's just how I feel and it's how 37 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.680 important I think it is. So the conversation I had 38 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.319 yesterday which lasted three hours, about the decline of Western civilization, 39 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:30.400 what you just said is an example of that decline 40 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.240 of Western civilization. That's a real life example. And this 41 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.800 text message that I have because I've got to follow 42 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.280 on from guber number zero four to three to three, 43 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:45.479 that I want to share with you, which again exemplifies 44 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.639 or really puts a fine point on this idea that 45 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.639 it's always us and I'm sick of it. I'm truly 46 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.319 sick of it. So zero four to three three wrote 47 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.479 back and said this the way I let me back up. 48 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:07.120 Let's go to the original text message. I live in Greaty. 49 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.919 Just last night, my wife is at a shopping plaza. 50 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.240 My daughter was in the store. My wife was sitting 51 00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:14.560 in the car with the window up. A thug with 52 00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:16.639 a tattooed face and the head came up to her 53 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.879 car and was asking for money. My wife shook her 54 00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:23.400 head no. Then the thug put his face on the window, 55 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:25.960 looking in the car. Now, let's just stop right there 56 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.319 for a moment for me, not because I'm a scaredy cat, 57 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:36.080 but because I understand human nature. That's an aggressive move. 58 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:42.319 That is a threatening move. That's an indication that I'm 59 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.240 trying to intimidate you by putting my face on your 60 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.840 car window and getting fake. You know, only the glasses 61 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:54.159 separating us. I'm trying to intimidate you. You won't give 62 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:56.919 me money, I'm going to put my face on your window. 63 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:03.400 Then he raised his jacket, exposing a gun and actually 64 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:07.159 tapped his gun in a threatening manner. This was in 65 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.800 broad daylight. So now I want you to think about that. 66 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:19.279 Your daughter's inside. You're a mother, you're obviously concerned for yourself. 67 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:21.639 But now you're worried. Oh my gosh, what if my 68 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:25.079 daughter comes out? Why this is going on? Then what 69 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:30.759 if he's shown a gun, he's tapped his gun. Look 70 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:36.040 that I have? Oh really, look that I have? Kaboom, Yeah, 71 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.560 that's what I have. Now. The problem with all of 72 00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:47.480 that is, unless you've got surveillance footage, unless you've got witnesses, 73 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:56.639 it's all now depended upon a prosecutor, and that they 74 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:01.439 could very easily decide that you were in your car, 75 00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:03.319 you had the window up, you could have driven off, 76 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.279 you could, you could have gotten out of that situation, 77 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.959 and instead you chose to blow the guy away. Yes 78 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:12.439 I did, you know, mister prosecutor. But he had his 79 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.000 face against the window, he was tapping his gun. For 80 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.759 all I know, he was going to pull the gun 81 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.720 and either break into my car or shoot me. So 82 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.160 I took defensive action to protect myself, which I think 83 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.439 would be absolutely reasonable. But we've reached the point in 84 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.800 Western civilization where that's not reasonable, and that's what pisses 85 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:37.879 me off. Now. The follow up text Mike, the way 86 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:41.279 I understand she screamed in the car. People in a 87 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.360 little Caesar's witnessed what was going on. They came out 88 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.000 of the store. In the meantime, my daughter came out. 89 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.319 My wife sped away. She called me. She did not 90 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:53.240 want to call the cops, which made me mad, because 91 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:56.920 we have to get these gum off our streets. Can 92 00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.839 I get a hallelujah? Can I get an amen of? 93 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:05.319 Eventually the cops did get called by my son. They 94 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.439 contacted my wife and said they were going to review 95 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.639 the surveillance footage. So at least there is some surveillance footage. 96 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.079 I'm thankful her and my daughter got away unharmed, except 97 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:20.680 for being really shook up. Excuse me, but what's to 98 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:26.240 say the next person won't be so lucky? What's to 99 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.439 say the fact that your wife just happened to be lucky? 100 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:38.959 Now that scumbag, that scumbag, for all we know, is 101 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:44.800 continuing to do the same thing. Now without denigrating the 102 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.639 greedy police department, do you really think they're out there 103 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:53.040 looking or will it just be one of those things where, oh, 104 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.800 we have a bolo be on the lookout for, you know, 105 00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:58.920 some guy tattooed faced blah, blah blah. You know he 106 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.360 was intimidating a woman in a parking lot and blah blah. 107 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:04.959 And so you just have they just happened to see him. 108 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.839 They're not actively looking. And in fact, for all we know, 109 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:16.920 if he's homeless, he's moved on to to uh who knows, 110 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.480 He's moved on to Firestone, he's moved on to Longmond, 111 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.199 He's moved on, you know somewhere else's Fort Collins, who 112 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:28.720 knows where he is. To pull the same thing again. Now, 113 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:31.439 am I advocating for him to be killed. No, I'm 114 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.480 not advocating necessarily to be killed. But you think about 115 00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:39.560 that situation. Now, go back to the Oklahoma law that 116 00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:46.120 I ascribed to you earlier. What that guy did is 117 00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:51.319 brandishing because he wasn't threatened, he didn't have a fear 118 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.439 for his life. He was the one invoking the fear 119 00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:01.279 in this guy's spouse. He was the crow. He is 120 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.720 the criminal, and even under the new Oklahoma law, what 121 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:12.800 he did would still be unlawful. But had she had 122 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:17.199 a weapon in her car, she could have pulled the weapon, 123 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:21.199 didn't have to shoot, but could have pointed the gun 124 00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:27.040 at him. And knowing most people like that he probably 125 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:31.720 would have turned and run because, oh my god, here's 126 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:34.240 a crazy woman in a car with a gun. I 127 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:38.480 really don't want to get in a shootout. But no, 128 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:45.279 not in our society anymore, not at all. So between 129 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:49.039 her screaming, you don't say whether or not you say 130 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:53.799 your wife sped away. I'd like to I'd like to know, now, 131 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.960 when your wife screamed, did he run off or did 132 00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:59.639 he continue to try to intimidate her as she was 133 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:04.159 speeding away in the car. It's just it's just freaking 134 00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:07.799 unbelievable to me. And then you go back to the 135 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:13.159 Supreme Court case Snope versus Brown. Now, I don't know, 136 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:15.360 and I don't care how many AR fifteens you own, 137 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.399 or if you even own an AR fifteen. But Kavanaugh 138 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.519 is right. There are probably some twenty or thirty million 139 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:23.600 AR fifteens, which means they are in common usage in 140 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:29.559 this country. Ten percent of the population owns an AR fifteen, 141 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:36.200 or roughly thereabout. It's clear, and forget that it's a 142 00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:44.039 freaking AR fifteen. It's a semi automatic long gun that 143 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:48.399 shoots either five five six or two two three, a 144 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:56.840 common caliber that's commonly used. It's not a weapon of war. 145 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:02.960 Does it look like one? Yes? Is no? But that's 146 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.559 the mantra that the left will tell you. So now 147 00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.120 we have out of the Fourth Circuit a decision that 148 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:14.919 upholds a ban on an AR fifteen, and the Supreme Court, 149 00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:19.360 for lack of any testicles, doesn't take the case up. 150 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.200 Oh we want to. According to Kavanaugh, we went away 151 00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:25.480 because there's a few other circuits that are dealing with this. 152 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.279 So maybe we can deal with it in this term 153 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.120 or maybe the next term. In other words, maybe we'll 154 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.279 deal with it. Let's just take the next term, so 155 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:38.480 we'll deal with it two years from now, and then 156 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.960 the decision will take oh maybe a year, so we 157 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:47.519 might have a decision in twenty twenty eight for a 158 00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:52.840 ban that exists in twenty twenty five. We just can't 159 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.559 do this anymore. We just can't keep doing it anymore. 160 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.559 People's lives are in danger, and the people's lives who 161 00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:07.240 are in danger our most are predominantly the innocent, the 162 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.519 law abiding. And it's the criminals they're getting away with everything. 163 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:18.919 The protesters, the anti Semites that are using molotov cocktails. 164 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.519 By the way, somebody raised an interesting question once he 165 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:30.639 was denied the background check to purchase whatever. I don't 166 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.519 have any information about what he was trying to purchase, 167 00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.039 but he gets denied. Now, let's stop and think about 168 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.799 how everybody wants the federal government to just run everything. 169 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:48.200 So the federal government sets up the next system. He 170 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:52.000 gets denied because he's not the US that is that 171 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:59.480 shouldn't shouldn't that cause in some database somewhere, a little pen, 172 00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.799 a little flag. Oh, we have a guy in Colorado 173 00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:08.559 Springs that was here on a Now I want you 174 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:11.159 to think through this for a second. He came here 175 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.279 on a tourist visa, which means he went into an embassy. 176 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.080 I assume he came from Egypt, so because he's Egyptian. 177 00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.279 So let's just make that assumption for the sake of 178 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.960 the argument. So he goes to the American embassy in 179 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:30.480 Cairo or to a consulate office somewhere in Egypt, and 180 00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:34.320 he applies for a tourist visa. So he sits down 181 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:38.600 with an employee of the State Department. What's the purpose 182 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:40.919 of your visit? I want to I want to tour 183 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:44.320 the country. I okay, what's your itinerary? What cities are 184 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.039 you going to? I want to visit New York. And 185 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:49.000 then I'm thinking about making a trip to Los Angeles, 186 00:12:49.080 --> 00:12:51.559 and I've heard that Colorado Springs is really nice. I'd 187 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:54.440 like to see Pike's Peak. I'd like to go there 188 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.720 and see the Garden of the Gods or something. And 189 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:58.639 then okay, so how long are you going to stay? Well, 190 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:00.799 you know, this tourist visas I think good for I 191 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:02.919 think it's good for ninety days. I may be wrong 192 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:06.200 about that, but whatever, it's good for. Okay. So, uh, 193 00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.360 do you have your tickets? Yes? Do you know where 194 00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.080 you're gonna stay? Yes? Okay, so tell me where you're staying. 195 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.519 Blah blah blah. So he's coming here as a tourist. 196 00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:21.919 Now when he gets here he applies for asylum, that 197 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:27.559 alone should have raised a red flag. You're not, which 198 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.960 is which is also why we should require if you 199 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.120 want to seek asylum, you seek asylum in either the 200 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:40.399 country that you're seeking asylum from or a country other 201 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:44.799 than the United States, because if you get denied asylum, 202 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.039 then you can stay in the If you went from 203 00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:51.840 Egypt to Kuwait, then you can stay in Kuwait. Not 204 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:55.200 our problem, because we're not getting brand, not granting you asylum. 205 00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:59.639 But when he when he applied for asylum, and god, 206 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.840 then was there nobody any was there, no bureaucrat anywhere 207 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.240 that looked around and said, wait a minute, he applied 208 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:12.639 for asylum, but he's here on a tourist visa, and 209 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:16.120 the tourist visa, according to our data base, is expired. 210 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:23.399 So he's overstayed his visa u CBP dirt bag number 211 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:27.919 two six five, last known address, Go pick him up, 212 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:32.480 get him deported. Of course we didn't do that because 213 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:35.679 the f and bureaucracy is too huge, too wieldy, doesn't 214 00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:41.279 care and quite frankly wants them to get the asylum. Then, 215 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:44.279 so you got a guy on a tourist visa, overstayed 216 00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:49.360 the visa, then he applies for asylum, then he goes 217 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:52.879 to buy a firearm and gets denied. 218 00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:54.279 Huh. 219 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.080 And that didn't set off a little peing somewhere. That 220 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:07.360 didn't raise a flag somewhere. The point is for everyone 221 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:10.519 who clamors all the time for the federal government to 222 00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:12.919 step in and fix this or fix that? Are you 223 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.320 freaking kidding me? Are you? You must be some kind 224 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:19.639 of stupid because the federal government doesn't seem to be 225 00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:25.320 able to do anything right except take care of criminals 226 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:30.039 or illegal aliens. And I know Trump's trying to fix that. 227 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:35.600 But you think about to see if I can swerve 228 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:40.120 back into the discussion about the Supreme Court case. You 229 00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.840 think it's going to be difficult to deport twenty or 230 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:49.320 thirty million illegal aliens? What happens when you try to 231 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:56.600 confiscate twenty or thirty banned ar fifteens. I'm not trying 232 00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.600 to be mister macho. I'm trying to be mister practical. 233 00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.879 Who's going to be the first person to say, Nope, 234 00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.879 I don't have and if you want to come in 235 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.399 my house, you need to have a probable cause search 236 00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:16.519 warrant to come into my home. And even then somebody 237 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:22.039 somewhere is going to deny entry and they come in 238 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.919 your I mean, what you really think about this? A 239 00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.399 law enforcement first of life, I would hope that a 240 00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:32.600 lot of leos would refuse to enforce this. I would 241 00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:37.320 hope that a lot of FBI agents, eight even ATF 242 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:42.799 agents would refuse to enforce it. But can you imagine 243 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:48.840 in the United States of America, anybody that has a 244 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:51.919 law enforcement uniform on or not I don't care. Maybe 245 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:54.919 they don't have the inform they got, They've they've got credentials, 246 00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:58.399 they've got a badge, and they knock on your door. 247 00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.840 Can I help you? Yes, we're here to take your 248 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.640 AR fifteen's they've been banned and the court has not 249 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.680 ruled on that. So we're gonna start enforcing the band 250 00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:14.720 and we're here to take your AR fifteen. Is there 251 00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:18.759 at any point? Is there any point at all in 252 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:28.119 which anybody says, no, No, you're not Is there everybody? 253 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:33.240 Everybody says they will. Everybody says, oh, yeah, they're not 254 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:45.519 gonna take my gun. Really, I don't believe it. 255 00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:56.000 You can't get to have done at all at any You. 256 00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:58.720 Want to tell me about that? One said the trends. 257 00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:00.640 I think I pretty much picked up on it. But 258 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.759 the transcript does show in the car Michael, she can't 259 00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.119 get to her gun with any or at all eads. 260 00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:14.319 Oh, he said, It depends on the car, because I 261 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.519 can grab mine real quickly. 262 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.759 When I'm in the car if somebody's already got their 263 00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:25.200 hand on theirs. Oh, but do you think you can 264 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.720 get to yours quicker than they can? 265 00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:34.880 There been times when I've been approached sitting in a car. 266 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.319 We're already have my hand on my gun. My understanding 267 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:44.079 with this woman was he walked up and just showed 268 00:18:44.079 --> 00:18:47.319 the gun and then tapped it. Me mean, he's already 269 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:51.119 got it in his hand. No, I think I be wrong. 270 00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:55.000 He just kind of like pointing to it, like, you know, 271 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.079 tapping the handle, like see what I got, But give 272 00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:00.480 me some money. That was threatened. 273 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:02.920 There was this textra zero two two five, I love 274 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.359 your show. Action beats reaction. She should have parked where 275 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:09.640 she could see him coming and already had her gun 276 00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:13.359 out with when it was apparent he was approaching her. 277 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:16.559 I saw that, and I and I thought to myself, Oh, 278 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:19.160 how do you know when someone's coming or not coming? Right? 279 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:21.759 You've got three sixty around you. How you're gonna be 280 00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:24.400 able to spy absolutely everybody coming in your direction? 281 00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:28.119 Right, and someone's walking one direction sees you pull up 282 00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.480 and they decide, oh, there's a there's a mark, I'll 283 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.720 go after that mark instead. So who knows? But again 284 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:40.160 that that's that's the problem with this whole complex set 285 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:45.640 of rules we've established. Look, gone went the wild, wild West. 286 00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:49.359 I have to think about that for a minute. Uh, 287 00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:54.920 the the polite societal answer is no. But I do 288 00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:59.559 believe we've made it so complex to exercise a god 289 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:03.079 given natural right of self defense that in essence, people 290 00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.240 are afraid to exercise the right of self defense. And 291 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.920 don't get me wrong, I understand, I think I understand 292 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:13.839 that if you if you exercise that right of self defense, 293 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:19.039 even if you've not committed a crime, you're still subject 294 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:24.359 to a civil lawsuit because well, you just took someone's 295 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:29.119 life away. Now, yeah, they may have been trying what's 296 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.359 that stupid one we have on the taxpayer relief shot? Well, 297 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.640 understand he was robbing him, but he didn't have to 298 00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:37.880 shoot him. That's the kind of people that will then 299 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.640 go sue you in a wrongful death lawsuit because you well, 300 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:43.960 we know he was robbing you, but you know you 301 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:48.079 did have shooting. Oh all right, See if I can't 302 00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:50.359 finish up this Supreme Court case, because I really do 303 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:53.359 want you to understand the insanity that's going on in 304 00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:58.240 DC right now. So the Supreme Court's denial of sert 305 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:02.079 in Snope the Brown that's the case from just a 306 00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:09.039 few months ago, really does reveal a fractured bench. So 307 00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:13.720 you got three of the justices openly dissenting a fourth Kavanaugh. 308 00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:17.759 This signaling in openness to you know, hey, we probably 309 00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:19.720 should review this. I just don't want to do it 310 00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:26.079 right now. So to kind of reset, the case challenges 311 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.119 Maryland's ban on AR fifteen rifles under the Second Amendment. 312 00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:36.400 That follows the Fourth Circuit's ruling that AR fifteen's fall 313 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:42.000 outside constitutional protection. Now that alone, I can't believe that 314 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.119 that's what I'm saying. But that's the Court's decision that 315 00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:48.279 in AR fifteen is not protected by the Second Amendment. 316 00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:53.160 Some explain to me how that works. Now. Granted I've 317 00:21:53.200 --> 00:21:55.640 not because I've been focusing so much on the Supreme 318 00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.759 Court in show prep, I had not read the Fourth 319 00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:00.880 Circuit opinion. Maybe I'll try to do that today and 320 00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:04.000 tell you what the reasoning was for the Fourth Circuit's decision. 321 00:22:06.319 --> 00:22:10.720 But Justice Thomas was the author of the primary descent. 322 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:13.960 He wanted to hear the case, and he was arguing 323 00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:19.519 that the Fourth Circuit's decision conflicts with DC versus Heller. 324 00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:22.680 That's the two thousand and eight case that held that 325 00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.680 there is an individual right to keep in bear arms. Gee, really, 326 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:30.440 let's see a well regulated militia being necessary to the 327 00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:34.240 security of free state. The right to keep and bear 328 00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:42.880 arms shall not be infringed. You. I say that all 329 00:22:42.920 --> 00:22:47.279 the time, and it seems pretty clear to me. But 330 00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:50.640 then I guess I'm got a sick of mind. And 331 00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:55.200 Thomas also cited New York State Rifle and Pistol Association 332 00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:59.640 versus Bruin. But here are the points that Justice Thomas 333 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:05.799 was trying to make. First, regarding burden of proof, he 334 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.440 argues that the Fourth Circuit was wrong in requiring the 335 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.200 challengers to prove that AR fifteens are protected by the 336 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:18.640 Second Amendment, rather than placing the burden on Maryland to 337 00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:22.880 demonstrate some sort of historical precedent for the banning of 338 00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:28.200 an AR fifteen. He's arguing that you've got the burden 339 00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:32.200 of proof completely inverted. It's wrong the government who is 340 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:36.079 trying to take away the Second Amendment of protections for 341 00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:39.160 an AR fifteen. They've got the burden of proof to 342 00:23:39.240 --> 00:23:42.359 show that under the Second Amendment it is there is 343 00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:46.119 historical precedent for doing so, which obviously there is none. 344 00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:51.279 He also makes a great textual argument, or I should say, 345 00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:57.720 to be more precise, a textual analysis. Justice Thomas argued 346 00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:03.559 that AR fifteens are bearable arms under the Second Amendments 347 00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:09.720 playing text because they're weapons of offense widely owned by civilians. 348 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:17.839 That's that's an encapulation, encapsulation of the Heller case right there, 349 00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:24.759 weapons of offense widely owned and used by civilians. And 350 00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:29.680 then he analyzed the historical tradition. He said that Maryland's 351 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:35.839 ban lacks support in historical firearm regulation. And he went 352 00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:40.759 even further and criticized the Fourth Circuit for invert or 353 00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:47.680 for inventing a dangerous and unusual category unsupported by precedent. 354 00:24:49.880 --> 00:24:51.400 I've got to I've got to go read the Fourth 355 00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:53.000 Circuits case. 356 00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:55.480 How is it? 357 00:24:57.839 --> 00:25:02.880 How's a AR fifteen in a spacecial category? The only 358 00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:11.720 thing that's different when you take away an AR fifteen's appearance, 359 00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:21.039 it's putting it in really simple vernacular. It's a dear rifle. Yeah, 360 00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:31.240 That's that's all it is. Thomas specifically said that allowing 361 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:36.319 this kind of band to remain in effect, relegates the 362 00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:43.079 Second Amendment to a second class right. For anybody who's 363 00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:50.160 arguing that Justice Thomas ought to resign so that Trump 364 00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:54.279 can get another appointee on You're out of your freaking mind. 365 00:25:55.839 --> 00:26:01.480 There's no greater justice right now in my opinion, in 366 00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:05.319 Clarence Thomas, I hope he lives to be one hundred 367 00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:07.480 and fifty years old, and I hope he stays on 368 00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:14.759 the court as long as he can. Let's let's go 369 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:20.720 to Justice Alito and Corses. Now again, they descended, they 370 00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:23.319 voted to grant Cirt, they wanted to hear the case, 371 00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:28.359 and they joined Thomas in his descent. But they didn't 372 00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:33.920 author separate opinions. But their alignment with Justice Thomas suggests 373 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:38.359 that they have agreement on a misapplication of Bruin. That 374 00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:42.359 the Fourth Circuit's reliance on dangerous and unusual standards that 375 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:47.480 I just mentioned contradicts Bruin's mandate to evaluate the historical 376 00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:51.079 analogs about how you know the Second Amendment has how 377 00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:55.680 firearms have evolved into common use. AR fifteen clearly meets 378 00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:59.920 that standard. But they also talk about the circuit split 379 00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:05.920 concern the split among the circuits. Lower courts have inconsistently 380 00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:11.559 applied the Bruins standard to assault weapon bands, and they 381 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.640 argued that because you have these different standards, we need 382 00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.440 to hear this case so we can finally set a 383 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:23.359 standard by which if you want to regulate AR fifteens 384 00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:26.480 or any of the guns, here's the standard by what 385 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:31.240 you've got to do it now. Kavanaugh was pretty interesting 386 00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:38.920 because his statement concurs in denial, yet hints that he 387 00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:44.519 actually would support overturning the ban. For example, when it 388 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:48.079 comes to common use. As I said earlier, he notes 389 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.359 that AR fifteens are legal in forty one states. They're 390 00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:56.079 owned by somewhere between twenty and thirty million Americans. And 391 00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:59.960 the reason he states that is he's pointing out that 392 00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:05.480 under the Heller's common use standard, this ban in Maryland 393 00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:09.079 is probably unconstitutional, to which I would once again say, then, 394 00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:13.559 why the hell didn't you hear the case future review? 395 00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:19.200 Kevinaugh went on to predict that the Court should impresumably 396 00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:22.960 will address the AR fifteen issues soon, and goes on 397 00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:26.319 to criticize the Fourth Amendment, reasoning as questionable. Well, then 398 00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:31.000 why not settle it now? Why make people suffer under 399 00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:34.440 a ban that likely a majority of the Court's going 400 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:37.119 to overturn. Why make them suffer under a ban while 401 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:42.400
