Transcript
- 0:15Well, welcome to the Lu Sheet Podcast.
- 0:16My name is Jeff Doddle.
- 0:17I've been licensed firearm dealer for the last 17 years.
- 0:20In this podcast, we talk about all things related to the amendment as well as anything else going in the world sports story or anything else that I might find interesting.
- 0:27So, winning never gets old.
- 0:30I love to win.
- 0:31I'm a very competitive person.
- 0:33I have always been.
- 0:34I've had, as I've aged, I've had to revise my approach to winning and losing more accurately.
- 0:42I have not been a good loser, especially in my younger days, but I, I love to win.
- 0:48And with the new Trump administration, you know, winning is Isn't getting old.
- 0:53We, we, we keep winning.
- 0:55We keep winning.
- 0:56Yesterday we had two big wins.
- 0:58We had the first big win for me was the appeals court saying that, you know, Fannie Willis needed to be removed, her entire office, from the the case in Georgia.
- 1:09So that case now is dead always should have been, but definitely is dead now for her improprieties and now, but the other big win was the killing of that continuing resolution.
- 1:21And I'll have to admit when the first time a few days ago when people started talking about the CR, I I was like, what?
- 1:28You know, I have opposed every CR that we've had in the last six, eight years.
- 1:33And I've been a fan of, let's just shut the government down until we work it out.
- 1:38Figure out, you know, while we're shut down, what did we not miss?
- 1:41And let's just not bring it back.
- 1:43You know I think everybody ought to just, you know, after, after Christmas.
- 1:48Just don't come back till, you know, till we, we call you and we'll go look at the government and see, you know, what did we miss?
- 1:56Did we miss the Department of Education?
- 1:58Did we miss the FDA?
- 2:00Did, you know, did we miss all these different agencies?
- 2:04But, you know, that won't happen.
- 2:05But, I was very disappointed when the CR came out.
- 2:09Here we were about talking about this huge spending bill and that it was going to basically take spending control out of the hands of Doge and President Trump.
- 2:19And I'm asked, how did we get, I think, how did we get here?
- 2:22How did, how did the Elon and Vivek and Trump not know about this was, it's because slimy Mike Johnson didn't tell him about it.
- 2:30You know, he was going to army, Navy game with them.
- 2:33He was going to UFC fights with them and buddying up to him and never tell them that for the last months he'd been negotiating with Democrats.
- 2:41This huge CR 1600 pages that doesn't just happen overnight.
- 2:47But the good thing is, as soon as Trump got wind of it, as soon as MAGA Media got rid of it got wind of it the, the War Room Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk and Dan Mangino the, the posses all went to work and the, the, the populace started contacting their congressmen and telling them what they actually thought about this and President Trump spoke and It's been killed.
- 3:11It's a big win.
- 3:12They did negotiate a small extension.
- 3:15Some extra money for farmers and some disaster relief.
- 3:19But, you know, there is a new sheriff in town.
- 3:22And his name is Donald John Trump.
- 3:24And, he, the Old ways, we're just told things aren't going to operate like this anymore.
- 3:31We're not working behind doors.
- 3:33We're bringing all this out in the public and we're going to negotiate with transparency in front of the people, not behind the people.
- 3:40So big win, big win.
- 3:41Now, what would I like to see for a win in 2025?
- 3:45Well, my, my biggest thing is the ATF and you know, we can say we want to eliminate the ATF that's not going to happen.
- 3:53I'd really don't.
- 3:54So.
- 3:55There's a lot that could happen with the ATF, but I just want to focus on just a few things.
- 4:00So first, let's start at the top.
- 4:01We have to get rid of Steve Dettelbach.
- 4:04So we talked about last week, you know who might replace, who might be the new director of the ATF that will be a key position.
- 4:12Let's be watching that very closely to see who does get nominated for that.
- 4:16But that is the first step we have to do.
- 4:18Then, we just have to take the ATF with it's new director and change it's focus to fighting the bad guys that use guns illegally instead of going after the guns themselves.
- 4:32That is what the ATF is about and we need to change that focus, we need to deregulate silencers.
- 4:40Pull them out of the NFA.
- 4:42They are just hearing protection.
- 4:44They are nothing menacing about them.
- 4:46Now, people are going to look to this UnitedHealth CEO killing and say, look, there's one where the, the killer used a silencer.
- 4:55Why he used a silencer, I don't know.
- 4:58Where he got it.
- 4:59I don't really know all those details, but silencers are not used in crime.
- 5:04And We just need to pull them out and make those easier for people to, to get.
- 5:09We need to disband the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which is headed by Kamala Harris.
- 5:16We don't need that.
- 5:17What is that about?
- 5:19That's waste of money.
- 5:20That should be one of DOJ's first crosses that they cross off.
- 5:25The changes that they made to personally made firearms and kits.
- 5:30We need to roll that back.
- 5:32We need to, you know, that is not anything that we really need to be focusing on.
- 5:40Americans have been making their own firearms for years.
- 5:42You know, the director, going back to him, when he, he, he's sworn in, he's got to swear to protect the, the Constitution of the United States.
- 5:51And the Second Amendment is part of that Constitution.
- 5:54And I think that's the role of the ATF.
- 5:55They should be out there trying to prevent the infringement of the Second Amendment.
- 6:00So those are some things that we need to, to get done.
- 6:03You know, we need to fix the nick system.
- 6:06We need, there's a lot of stuff that we need to do, but if we can get better leadership, new focus, get rid of silencers get rid of the gun prevention and really go after the bad guys, I think the A TF will be in a much better position.
- 6:22To protect the United States citizenry and also grow the industry, help dealers, help them.
- 6:29You know, identify criminals better or have the dealers as your frontline, you know enforcement group, which is what we should be.
- 6:37But no, you know, going after the dealers and trying to just shut them down is not the approach that the ATF needs to go.
- 6:45So that would be my big win for 2025.
- 6:49I'm hoping we see lots and lots of winds coming up, but in the meantime, you have a very Merry Christmas.
- 6:56Enjoy your time with your family.
- 6:58This is a very precious time.
- 6:59Remember the reason for the season that we are celebrating our savior, Jesus Christ, and that's what it's all about.
- 7:05But enjoy your time with your family and relax and enjoy the winds.
- 7:10Enjoy the winds.
- 7:12Take care.
- 7:13Talk to you later.
