Transcript
- 0:14Welcome to the Live Shoot podcast.
- 0:15My name is Jeff Davila.
- 0:17I've been a licensed firearms dealer for the last 18 years.
- 0:19In this podcast, we talk about all things related to the Second Amendment sports story, or anything else going on in the world, or anything I find interesting.
- 0:26So welcome, welcome, welcome.
- 0:28This is a special edition of the podcast.
- 0:29I'm jumping on here because early voting has started in Texas, and this is a, a podcast really directed towards my Texas listeners.
- 0:37But early voting for the primary runoff of, for the Texas Senate has started this week.
- 0:42This day is Wednesday, and it goes till Friday in the race between Ken Paxton and John Cornyn.
- 0:48And if you listen to this podcast for any period of time, you know that, that one of my missions has been to get John Cornyn out of th- out of the Senate.
- 0:56He has been a very weak senator and he is not a, a pro-Second Amendment person.
- 1:02He only supports the Second Amendment whenever it's politically advantageous.
- 1:06But we here strongly support Ken Paxton.
- 1:10And the president just came out and supported Ken Paxton, and we are really need to get this one over the finish line.
- 1:18John Cornyn, brought partnered with Joe Biden just a few years ago to bring the Bipartisan Safer Community Act, which is some of the, which is the latest set of federal firearm r- rules, g- and laws that got passed, and some of the worst.
- 1:34Expanded the background check for adults under 21 thus slowing down and, and restricting their right to bear arms.
- 1:41It expanded the ability for states to have stronger red flag laws, thus taking away your firearms without due process.
- 1:50It s- made everyone have to essentially be a dealer if they wanted to sell their personal firearms or become a felon if they did and on and on and on.
- 1:59And this is, Been a very key issue for me, and I'm just encouraging you to get out and vote for Ken Paxton.
- 2:06John Cornyn has been in the Senate since 2002 and has done nothing.
- 2:10He is weak on immigration.
- 2:11He has supported amnesty the entire time, was against the border wall, and does not support Trump, has not been an advocate for him.
- 2:19And we really need a change in the Senate at this point in time, and we need somebody that represents Texas values.
- 2:25And John Cornyn just does not do that.
- 2:27Ken Paxton is a fighter.
- 2:28He will fight for us.
- 2:30He has been fighting for Texas as the, the attorney general, and he will continue to fight.
- 2:35And so again, early voting started on Monday.
- 2:38You can go to votetexas.gov and find out where you can vote early.
- 2:42That goes till Friday, and then on the general election will be on Tuesday, and that's where you, you go to your typical polling place.
- 2:49And again, you can get all that information on votetexas.gov on where you need to v- vote.
- 2:54But it is important because this is a critical seat to, to maintain control of the Senate and also maintain our agenda and get things passed through.
- 3:05The there are so many things that need to be done and, and John Cornyn is just not getting it done.
- 3:10So after this, we'll have to then deal with the, the actual election, and there is a formidable Democratic candidate.
- 3:18We won't discuss him today, but we will discuss him quite a bit in the future.
- 3:23But our first mission is to get Ken Paxton over the finish line.
- 3:26So I am imploring you to get out and, and if you're not in Texas and people in Texas, encourage them to vote because we need to get as many people out there.
- 3:35This is gonna be a, our turnout election.
- 3:38Whichever candidate gets the most turnout is the one that's gonna win, and it's close, but I'm confident that we can get this done.
- 3:45I will, probably have another, an issue come out of the podcast as, whenever we know the results and discuss those and what the ramifications of those results are.
- 3:55So stay tuned, keep listening, and we have to keep fighting, fight, fight, fight for our Second Amendment because they will continue to try and take it away.
- 4:04So take care and have a great one.
