- 0:01Speaker 1: This is a miracle, there is no question. And there
- 0:06Speaker 1: are problems in this country between police and community.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Yes, you are a donkey to the latest on that
- 0:14Speaker 2: police killing of a black man.
- 0:15Speaker 3: Now the new developments in the deadly spatshooting ramdcase Man.
- 0:18Speaker 2: You say it was a really bad day for him,
- 0:19Speaker 2: and this is what he did, and.
- 0:21Speaker 4: So we are in a state of emergency. Okay.
- 0:24Speaker 5: White supremacist violence is always have been the number one
- 0:28Speaker 5: threat to our society.
- 0:29Speaker 4: But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.
- 0:33Speaker 4: The practice club bitches.
- 0:35Speaker 3: All right, Ronny, please tell me why was I your
- 0:38Speaker 3: donkey of the day.
- 0:39Speaker 5: Well, donkey today for Tuesday, January twenty seventh, goes the
- 0:42Speaker 5: White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, FBI directed cash bitte
- 0:46Speaker 5: US attorney for the Central District of California, Bill Asily.
- 0:50Speaker 4: I think you pronounced his name.
- 0:51Speaker 5: And every single conservative who all of a sudden seems
- 0:55Speaker 5: like they don't believe in the Second Amendment. Okay, what
- 0:58Speaker 5: is the Second Amendment? Well, it's in that document nobody
- 1:01Speaker 5: seems to care about anymore, called the US Constitution, and
- 1:04Speaker 5: the Second Amendment protects the rights of the people to
- 1:06Speaker 5: keep in bare arms.
- 1:07Speaker 4: I am two a all day.
- 1:09Speaker 5: I absolutely believe in my right to keep in bear arms,
- 1:12Speaker 5: but I also believe in common sense gun reform. Okay,
- 1:14Speaker 5: I don't feel that anyone in America needs guns. Decides
- 1:18Speaker 5: a little dubal okay, and I think that's a rational
- 1:20Speaker 5: way to look at this situation. But since the tragic
- 1:23Speaker 5: murder of Alex Pretty, conservatives have not been being rational
- 1:27Speaker 5: about this situation. In fact, critics yesterday was saying that
- 1:29Speaker 5: the right is betraying their base on gun rights. Now,
- 1:34Speaker 5: I was watching the Daily Show last night and they
- 1:36Speaker 5: had an amazing collage they put together of all of
- 1:40Speaker 5: the conservatives just betraying their base on gun rights.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Let's listen, when you are bearing arms and you are
- 1:46Speaker 1: confronted by law enforcement, you are raising the risk of
- 1:52Speaker 1: a force being used against you.
- 1:53Speaker 3: You cannot bring a firearm loaded with multiple magazines to
- 1:58Speaker 3: any sort of protests that you want.
- 1:59Speaker 2: I don't know any peaceful protester that shows up with
- 2:03Speaker 2: a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.
- 2:06Speaker 4: Don't let the left kid you with this that this
- 2:08Speaker 4: is just a normal protest.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Peaceful protesters don't have nine millimeter weapons with two extra magazines.
- 2:15Speaker 2: I am sorry that this gentleman is dead. But he
- 2:18Speaker 2: did bring a nine to milometer semi automatic weapon with
- 2:23Speaker 2: two cartridges to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest.
- 2:26Speaker 5: Lord have mercy. That was a Treasury Secretary Scott Bescent. Listen,
- 2:30Speaker 5: and a world where Kyle Rittenhouse was held as a
- 2:32Speaker 5: hero after bringing a gun to a protest and ended
- 2:35Speaker 5: up killing two people. Now conservatives are asking who brings
- 2:38Speaker 5: a gun to a protest. Caroline Levitch said yesterday that
- 2:41Speaker 5: any gun owner knows that carrying a gun raises the
- 2:45Speaker 5: assumption of risk and the risk of force being used
- 2:49Speaker 5: against you during interactions with law enforcement.
- 2:52Speaker 4: Gun owners, did y'all know that, Envy? Did you know that?
- 2:54Speaker 4: I didn't know that.
- 2:55Speaker 5: Okay, I didn't know that having a legal firearm that
- 2:58Speaker 5: you know you have all your paper raises the risk
- 3:01Speaker 5: of law enforcement using force against you. By the way,
- 3:05Speaker 5: Kyle Rittenhouse yesterday tweeted and I quote okay, Kyle Rittenhouse
- 3:11Speaker 5: okay tweeted yesterday, and I.
- 3:13Speaker 4: Quote carry everywhere period. It is your right. Hashtags shall
- 3:19Speaker 4: not be infringed. Listen.
- 3:21Speaker 5: Gun right groups blasted to Trump administration yesterday. The NRA
- 3:26Speaker 5: had something to say, let's go to CBS News Thory
- 3:28Speaker 5: four police.
- 3:28Speaker 3: The killing of Alex Preddi has raised concerns among a
- 3:31Speaker 3: group of Americans not known for criticizing the Trump administration,
- 3:34Speaker 3: advocates for the Second Amendment.
- 3:36Speaker 4: The federal government says part of the reason.
- 3:38Speaker 3: He was killed is because he had a gun, but
- 3:40Speaker 3: Preddy was licensed to carry and the video shows that
- 3:43Speaker 3: the weapon stayed in his waistband. One Trump administration official
- 3:47Speaker 3: said online quote, if you approach law enforcement with a gun,
- 3:50Speaker 3: there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified
- 3:54Speaker 3: in shooting you. Here is the NRA's response, Responsible public
- 3:59Speaker 3: voices should be a waiting a full investigation, not making
- 4:02Speaker 3: generalizations and demonizing while abiding citizens.
- 4:07Speaker 5: The NRA said, responsible public voices should be awaiting a
- 4:10Speaker 5: full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law abiding citizens.
- 4:15Speaker 4: That was the NRIA, and I agree with them. Okay.
- 4:19Speaker 5: Gun Owners for America set of the statement that it's
- 4:21Speaker 5: leaders condemn the untoward comments. Why people like Bill Acelli?
- 4:27Speaker 5: I think I'm pronouncing that right. Who put on X? No,
- 4:29Speaker 5: I know I'm not pronouncing that right, but he put
- 4:31Speaker 5: on X. If you approach law enforcement with a gun,
- 4:34Speaker 5: there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified
- 4:37Speaker 5: in shooting you. No, okay, having a gun on your
- 4:40Speaker 5: person in an open carry state and having a permit
- 4:42Speaker 5: for it doesn't mean you should be killed.
- 4:44Speaker 4: Stop this madness, all right.
- 4:45Speaker 5: Gun owners of America said in response to him, Federal
- 4:48Speaker 5: agents are not highly likely to be legally justified in
- 4:52Speaker 5: shooting concealed carried licensees who approach while lawfully carrying a firearm.
- 4:57Speaker 5: The Second Amendment protects American's right to bear arms while protesting,
- 5:01Speaker 5: a right the federal government must not infringe upon. This
- 5:05Speaker 5: goes back to what I said to you all yesterday.
- 5:07Speaker 5: Authoritarian regimes and not sustainable.
- 5:10Speaker 4: Okay.
- 5:11Speaker 5: The people will always revolt, especially in a country like America.
- 5:15Speaker 4: The landed are free, all right.
- 5:17Speaker 5: They call it the landed there free because of the
- 5:18Speaker 5: values that this country upholds. Now we know all freedom
- 5:22Speaker 5: hasn't been created equal in this country, but the freedoms
- 5:25Speaker 5: we do have, we don't want them infringed upon by
- 5:28Speaker 5: the government. And yesterday I told you, I told you
- 5:31Speaker 5: the Nazis ultimately lost. What I was simply saying in
- 5:34Speaker 5: a very mean way was political movements that normalize anti
- 5:39Speaker 5: democratic behavior eventually faced legal, cultural, and institutional pushback.
- 5:45Speaker 4: Okay, that's just a historically accurate statement.
- 5:49Speaker 5: Okay, I don't care if it was Maccarthyism that collapsed
- 5:51Speaker 5: and became toxic. Segregationists politics became socially radioactive, Nixon era abuses,
- 5:58Speaker 5: reshaped ethic laws, the oversight.
- 6:01Speaker 4: The the magnification of America is upon us.
- 6:05Speaker 5: I repeat the The magnification of America is upon us.
- 6:08Speaker 4: And it's gonna be fun to watch.
- 6:11Speaker 5: So please give all those conservatives who have betrayed their
- 6:14Speaker 5: base on gun rights the biggest he huh.
