Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 22.721

If you died today, would your family know what your gun collection is worth? Don't leave them guessing. Secure your legacy with our widow's view. Sign up at Pew Locker, P-E-W dot locker. Welcome to American Crossfire, connecting faith, freedom, and firearms with Ryan. And Dalton. And as always, we're drinking again. No, we're not.

22.961 - 52.859

But thank you for being here, and thank you to the Firearms Radio Network for having us on their platform. So who's we? Who, what? It was we. Well, you got to drink over there. Uh-huh. Yeah. I don't know what you drank, apparently. Well, you never know. I swear it's a decaf. So, I guess we'll start out with a refresher on this past week. I went to March for the 2nd at the Capitol. Shut up.

0

53.66 - 82.086

We'll talk about that in a second. It was very constructive. I learned some stuff. It's the first time I've done anything like this. It was an experience to see. Like I said, this is my first time doing anything like this, but like I told Patrick there, Collins of the Gun Food, I feel like if I'm going to tell people to get involved, I feel like I have to get involved at least a little bit.

0

82.988 - 121.971

I went... There was probably eight or nine people, maybe. Maybe ten total. I was slightly disappointed. There were only two members that weren't board members there. Me and a guy that is older. I think that that's a disappointing thing. realization. I figured we'd have a few people there. But it was literally the board and two regular members. So... I don't know how to fix that.

0

121.991 - 127.937

I keep racking my brain on how to help GA2A because I think that they're doing good work.

Chapter 2: What important event happened at the Capitol this week?

128.137 - 150.677

I listen to them talking to senators and representatives from Georgia, and I don't want this podcast to become a Georgia-only podcast. But at the same time, I think that it is our responsibility to take some responsibility for our state. And so if we can cut some sections out every week and talk about some of these things that are happening,

0

150.657 - 172.061

One of the big bills, it actually got voted on and got through one of the committees on Monday when we were there. It happened right before we got there. It was, um, house bill 1454 and it's still in the rules committee if I'm not mistaken. Um, but I do know that there was a crossover date and I don't understand all of that. So we'll see how that goes.

0

173.163 - 208.168

Um, but what this did, this does is, uh, shooting on more than five acres of land of your private property, um, stopping a, um, registry, a database, um, And then it also makes law enforcement auction off evidence guns. So if they have so many guns in a calendar year, they are supposed to auction them off. And they have not been doing that. Most of them have not been doing that.

0

210.711 - 245.717

So I also met the Southeast... What is he? He's the Southeast... Southeast Regional Director for Gun Owners of America. He came all the way up. He was one of the people speaking in the... Let's see. The Georgia House Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee. So we're going to listen to his two-minute speech because I think that it was...

0

246.406 - 276.052

Um, let me throw this up and this is Lewis, uh, Valdez. He is from Florida. He is part of the Florida, uh, well, I don't close this stuff down. Let's see, Florida, uh, Florida right to carry. Is that, does that sound right? Um, Going to take it sweet time. All right. We have six people from Rumble over here right now.

276.634 - 297.194

If y'all don't mind, will y'all comment and let us know who's here, where you're from, and thank you for being here. We do appreciate it. All right, so let's listen to this because I can't find that. Fully supports HB 1454. As a former law enforcement officer, I could say this. The stockpiling of unclaimed firearms, it's a burden on agencies. It's a burden on taxpayers.

297.835 - 316.603

One of the best things to do is to allow these firearms to be sold back to the public. It's a way to raise funds for agencies, especially some of the more rural agencies that have tax issues. And on top of that, we're talking about an inalienable civil right. The people have the right to keep and bear arms. The Supreme Court has ruled that multiple times.

317.184 - 336.835

And on top of that, it just comes down to it's good business. It's fine business. It's fiscally responsible both for the citizenry and the taxpayer and the agency. Regarding private property rights and ranges, it's very simple. This is America. Last I checked, we were founded on the idea that our home is our castle. That includes our land.

337.496 - 357.379

The only issue that GOA currently has with the... Let's just stop right there, and I just want to clarify. If somebody's listening to this that doesn't understand stay-in-your-ground laws or castle doctrine, if you leave your house in most states, you have left your castle. There's a word, there's a...

Chapter 3: How did the recent bill impact private property rights?

583.835 - 613.448

Like stop texting. If I didn't ask you, primary is May 19th in Georgia. But anyway, places like Texas started this week. And we saw a lot of movement in Texas. Did you have a heart attack? Excuse me. No, I burped. You grab your chest, talking about the fall over. Just drop out of the chair and just start convulsing. Anyway. You should see me lean over. That's it, folks.

0

613.488 - 643.437

You just click the end stream and just walk away. Hey, he's dead in there. Yeah, and you just walk out. That would be my, yeah, that sounds about right. So. Just ask, you want me to put you out? Yeah. Um, multiple people got kicked from their primaries this week. Um, Brandon Herrera, who is running against Gonzalez, actually they were supposed to go to a runoff because it was 43-41.

0

643.878 - 673.871

So Brandon actually won 43-41, but they had to go to a runoff because they have to have 50% of the vote. So the third guy got whatever it is, and so it kicked it out. So anyway, later on this week, March 5th, so that would have been – It was Tuesday the third. So on Thursday, Tony Gonzalez posted this. And I'm just going to read the end of it.

0

674.231 - 696.347

After deep reflection and with support of my loving family, I have decided not to seek reelection while serving out the rest of Congress with the same commitment I've always had to my district. Though the rest of my term, I will continue fighting for my constituents, for whom I am eternally grateful. If you do not know, Tony Gonzalez has had a lot of issues. He is...

0

697.205 - 732.619

Sometimes Republican in name only, not every way. We're not in Texas, so it's harder for me to kind of pay attention. But he had issues, according to Brandon, he had issues with the border, oil theft, water rights, data centers, and other issues. One is, I think he had an affair, if I'm not mistaken. Is that right? I don't want to say something that isn't right. Tony... Zalas. Fair.

733.78 - 770.287

It would help if I could type. If I could think of it. Yep. He's been... They said he had an affair. So, anyway... Brandon Herrera is in. Allegedly. No, no. Brandon Herrera is in. No, I said allegedly had an affair. Oh, okay. Yeah, that. So Brandon Herrera will be going to the general election in November. Get out and vote. We don't need a Democrat in that seat, of course. Dan Crenshaw.

770.307 - 772.657

Did I already say Dan Crenshaw? No. No.

Chapter 4: Who is the Southeast Regional Director for Gun Owners of America?

772.717 - 804.351

Dan Crenshaw got kicked out of his primary. They flipped – not flipped. They kicked an incumbent out of a seat. And so Dan Crenshaw is out. He's had a lot of issues here lately. He is one of those – He talks a good game, but then when he goes to vote, he votes for some weird stuff. Um, like he is openly, um, for red flag laws. Um, he's talked about those.

0

804.952 - 833.787

Um, there's a couple of other things that, that have come up that I'm not the biggest fan of his. Um, then James Teller Rico beat Jasmine Crockett. So we don't have to worry about Jasmine Crockett anymore. Um, was that a Senate race? Yeah, that's Senate. She's Senate. No. Is she Senate now or was she running for Senate? I'm not sure she's Senate now. No. Okay. She's a representative.

0

834.489 - 850.534

But here's the deal. She was a representative, but she had to step down from her seat to run for a senator. So she lost her Senate race, which means that she still... I don't think she can run as a representative. So Jasmine Crockett is...

0

851.712 - 875.188

um thank god um al green has been pushed to a runoff we thought that he was going to get kicked completely uh al green is the um old guy that hates trump with everything and he carries a cane just so that he can wave it at people like the old people do um because i don't think he actually walks with it he just never seen him walk with it even when he's like getting ushered out he's

0

876.518 - 909.757

You kids get off my lawn. That's all I can think of when you start waving a cane around. That's it. Al Green is also in a runoff. Get out and vote for that. I know primaries are harder for people to think about the importance of But if you have the ability to choose somebody better in the primary, you have a better option in the November election.

910.359 - 936.774

And so I think that we really need to push people to understand that we have to get out and vote for these kind of things. Um, so I hope that we can flip some stuff around this year. We're also in Georgia. Um, John Ossoff is up for reelection. I'm hoping that we can push somebody into that position. Um, because we have two Democrat senators in a mostly Republican state.

937.234 - 965.631

Now we have the big cities that make it difficult. Um, John Ossoff was actually at the Capitol on, uh, Monday. Uh, we just happened to be there in, um, They kind of cleared the way. And I was like, that's John Ossoff. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's got this smug look on his face that you just want to like, um, but I did run into Hunter out there. I ran into ward words running in our district.

965.811 - 996.782

Well, my district, I don't know. Not yours. Probably. No, we got, um, black. Yeah. Is that black? Yeah. But he's running for Senate in Georgia, right? I don't remember. I don't know. It's cut up so weird. It's state senate. He's not running for federal senate. That is Dooley and Collins. That sounds right. No, Mike Collins.

996.802 - 1030.185

Mike Collins is stepping down from representative and that's where Houston Gaines is going. He's running for that. That's why ward is now running for our, for this representative because Houston gains is heading to trying to go to the house of representatives. So we have heard all these past few weeks about, um, let's go here first. So I don't really know where this was. This was during, um,

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the recent primary elections?

2075.496 - 2111.427

Well, that's true. But I think I heard that when they hit the oil refineries, the oil started running and it went into the sewer. Light the way. Let's see. Pin. We're going to follow with the candy mountain. Yeah. Light the way. Well, how do we turn off? Okay. I don't know what I'm doing. Maybe I'll not figure that out yet. Um, also we got a new, um, what is he going to be? Uh, secretary.

0

2111.887 - 2141.11

Uh, I thought I said that. What's the homeland homeland security. Um, this guy's awesome. Oh yeah. I didn't know who they were talking about, but this, this is, he said, he said, um, your statement says that anywhere, anytime. Well, this is anywhere. And this is anytime you ready to go right now. Yeah. Stand up. Yeah.

0

2141.431 - 2157.587

But if you don't know what we're talking about, I'll try to find it in a second. But let's listen to him first. This is Senator Mullins, who is going to be your new Secretary of Homeland Security, which is Kristi Noem is getting kicked out of. She didn't get fired.

0

2158.529 - 2206.496

necessarily she did get an emotion um she's going to some kind of shield agency um i'm thinking that we're done started hydra at this point i was about to say shield it's it's called yes hold on let me hold on let me go here and then go here and then da da da da da I know that's not how you spell it, but it'll work. Special Envoy shifts to Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. What?

0

2207.257 - 2228.941

We're going Avengers at this point. The shield of America. All right, so Senator Mullins, I like this guy. I think there's a lot of work that we need to do, and I'm excited about it. Senator Fatterman says he's going to vote for you. Do you expect other Democrats to vote for you? John already texted me, and of course you guys know John and I are friends too, and so I don't know.

2228.961 - 2247.661

We're going to try to earn everybody's votes. I want people to understand. When I go into this position, yes, I'm a Republican. Yes, I'm conservative. But the Department of Homeland Security is to keep everybody, regardless if you support me, if you don't support me, regardless of what your thoughts are. I'm here to enforce the policies that Congress passed. And right now, I'm part of it.

2247.701 - 2279.394

But once I make that transition, my focus is to keep the homeland secure. That's going to be my focus. And we're super excited about this opportunity. And I think... He reminds me of somebody I work with so much. Just the way he talks, like everything. Well, so Christie got kicked out because she, um, this is a, supposedly they spent like $20 million on ads.

2280.075 - 2307.589

And instead of it being solely about Homeland security and stuff like that, It was basically a big poster for her. Like she was the main character. And so, yeah, it didn't go well. So this is what we were talking about a second ago. This is 30 seconds. Why not? Quit the tough guy act and these Senate hearings. You know where to find me. Any place, any time, cowboy.

2308.261 - 2330.995

Sir, this is a time, this is a place. If you want to run your mouth, we can be two consenting adults. Watch this lady in the back. Okay, that's fine. Perfect. You want to do it now? I'd love to do it right now. Well, stand your butt up then. You stand your butt up. Oh, hold on. Oh, stop it. Oh, no, sit down. Sit down. You're a United States senator. Was that Bernie? Yeah.
