Transcript
- 0:18Well, welcome to the live to sheep podcast.
- 0:20My name is Jeff Dowdell and I've been a licensed firearm dealer for the last 14 years.
- 0:24And this podcast, we talk about all things related to the second amendment plus anything else that might be going on in, in today's news or in sports or in my personal life.
- 0:32So welcome.
- 0:33Welcome.
- 0:34Welcome everybody today is.
- 0:36Friday, July 2nd.
- 0:37It is the 4th of July weekend.
- 0:39So happy 4th of July to everybody out there.
- 0:42To me, this is one of the best holidays outside of Christmas and Easter.
- 0:46In my opinion that we celebrate, we are celebrating the independence of this great nation.
- 0:52That can never be overlooked.
- 0:54We need to continue to recognize how unique our country is and how awesome our country is despite what is the left and the, the Marxist out there are trying to do to, to, to bring it down, to make it another arm of the communist party.
- 1:13The Chinese communist party I should say, and it is it's, it's disappointing and, you know, the, the, the things that are going on in our country in terms of the way our children are being educated and the way they are being their mindsets are being changed.
- 1:32And so for example, the critical race theory, this is a big one as well.
- 1:37Country.
- 1:37And if you haven't seen what critical race theory, it is basically a theory, a belief that is now being taught that those of white supremacy, white skin have dominated.
- 1:52And that the only way to reverse historical prejudice and racism is to be, is to be racist, to, to change those and make that.
- 2:04Change in my, the, the white person pay and in reparations or in awards more proportionately because of based on what is perceived to be disadvantages of those of color per se.
- 2:19So it is again, it is.
- 2:22Does no matter what they say it is, it is, it is racism.
- 2:26It is racism.
- 2:27Yeah.
- 2:27And all, and is teaching our children to be racist and it needs to be stopped.
- 2:32And that is, you know, the, this one, what I want to talk about today is we have it's.
- 2:39Mystery that our secret that's gone on.
- 2:41And for the last 10 years, that if there was anything that the left disagreed with or did not like their, their go-to move is racism.
- 2:52It's it's very easy art Attack that they like to make.
- 2:55It's the first tack they want to make.
- 2:57And it has crippled people, people, it has brought people to their knees because nobody wants to be called a racist.
- 3:04And it's one of the things that there's almost no response to it that that will satisfy anybody.
- 3:10You can't say I'm not racist.
- 3:13Because that, that just makes you racist.
- 3:16I can't say I don't see color.
- 3:18I have now said that if you don't see color, that means you're racist being colorblind is racist.
- 3:24We have to recognize the differences, but and so it is a, it, it has become a powerful weapon that people use and that if you don't bow them, And do, as, as you're told you're, you're going to get slapped with being racist and it's, it's disappointing.
- 3:43I thought a a Ted talk by a gentleman named he was actually interviewed by Dan Crenshaw on his podcast.
- 3:49And then I went and watched his Ted talk and I'll put a link to it cause it's, it's really interesting.
- 3:54And in terms of.
- 3:58How, you know, how, how will we gotten here and really what we w you know, the way we need to approach races.
- 4:04Name's John Gaiden and the Ted talk was called.
- 4:07Everyone has hardship, and that is not what he named the Ted talk.
- 4:11He named it the race card is dead.
- 4:14Okay.
- 4:15In that Ted talk, he gives an example and, and for for clarification that he is African-American, he is black and he is, he tells a story that he was on a flight, got upgraded to first class he's in sitting in first class and he the flight attendant comes along and tea and starts taking everybody's drink orders.
- 4:37And.
- 4:38She's going down through the aisle and she gets to him and she skipped him and continues to move on and then ends up taking his order last.
- 4:46Now he's the only black person in first-class and he's his order was taken left.
- 4:51So obviously this is racist.
- 4:53That is the first that that's the only explanation for this.
- 4:56That is the first explanation that anybody would jump to.
- 5:00And so he was taken back by it a bit, a little bit.
- 5:03And so he thought he would do something different.
- 5:06He would just ask the question.
- 5:08So he pulled the flight attendant over and asked, you know, is there any methodology procedure that you go through that dictates the order in which you take people's orders here in first in first class and the flight attendant responded?
- 5:23Yes, we do it based on flight status.
- 5:26And so in that particular instance, He, he was only a gold member on American airlines while everybody else in first-class.
- 5:36Platinum, executive platinum.
- 5:37And so thus it dictated that his order would be take last taken last, but in most cases, that person would go on to most people would go on and believe that that was a racist event.
- 5:50And so.
- 5:51It's his Ted talk.
- 5:52He talks about how, Hey, let's take race out of the equation and go through th through the data and evaluate and see.
- 6:00Are there any other possible yeah.
- 6:02Explanation as to why a certain event could happen.
- 6:06And, you know, I'll tell you, he tells an interesting story about when he was seven years old and he determined that Santa Claus was racist.
- 6:12And so I encourage you to go listen to it.
- 6:15And I say all that to say, Now, you know, we've come full circle and there is now a book out there that from a Carol Anderson where she is.
- 6:26Saying that the second amendment is racist and that it was created to keep African-Americans down.
- 6:33In her book, she says that the quote unquote well-regulated militia inspired in the second amendment was created to provide a mechanism to quell potential slave upright uprisings Andersen claims.
- 6:45The second amendment provided the cover, the assurances that Patrick Henry and George Mason needed that the malicious would not be controlled by the federal gov.
- 6:53But they're, they would be controlled by the states and at the Beck and call the states to be able to put down any uprisings that they reason that we were arming our populace was to to be able to control the slaves or the African-American.
- 7:09You know anything about our founding fathers, you will know that that is completely false.
- 7:15They having, you know, recently been under the thumb of the great Britain.
- 7:19Now, the founders understood that the capacity of the government to infringe on the rights of its people was universal and that such tyranny could ultimately exist in America.
- 7:28And so the founders viewed the individual right to keep and bear arms as.
- 7:32Essentially preserving the freedom and Liberty of our citizens.
- 7:36Three Anderson in her book, she says she's also a fear-mongering is another move of the left.
- 7:43She says, stayed in her belief that the recent efforts in Texas to pass constitutional carry, which we have path is a result of the growing diversity of Texas and pretense predicts.
- 7:53The state will become a slaughterhouse.
- 7:55The bill continues the law.
- 7:57It goes on talk here.
- 7:59This is a continued, you know, this book is just, again, another continued effort of the left one to rewrite history completely, and to completely change the, the, the viewpoint of our frame, wanting fathers and why this country was created and what the existence of the second amendment is really about.
- 8:18The.
- 8:19Truth of the matter is that it's not the second amendment that is racist, but it's been all, it's been historically the gun control efforts that have been put in place that that is truly racist.
- 8:32So following the civil war After the civil war Southern states started enacting what were called black codes designed to keep ex slaves in slavery and submission.
- 8:42And the, for example, in Mississippi, it said no freedmen, freed man freed slaves shall keep or carry farms of any kind or any ammunition without police permission in areas where the Klu Klux, Klan to control.
- 8:55Almost universally.
- 8:56The first thing done what's to disarm the Negroes and leave them defenseless in a sense, the KU Klux Klan, which is an arm of the democratic party.
- 9:04I say it still exists.
- 9:05The Democrat party was the party of the KU Klux Klan.
- 9:09The KU Klux Klans was first con gun control group, as well as America's first domestic terrorist organization.
- 9:15So at least laws started.
- 9:18Propagating Congress stepped in and created the freedom bureau act insisting that the comfortable right.
- 9:24Constitutional right to bear arms shall be secured and enjoyed by all citizens.
- 9:29Congress followed up with civil rights and the 14th amendment to ensure that no state would ever violate the civil rights of Americans.
- 9:36So after.
- 9:38The, the 14th amendment for states to repeal a lot of these laws that were explicitly forbidding black people from owning guns.
- 9:45So then the white democratic white supremacists legislatures, like in Tennessee enacted a rule called the army and Navy law.
- 9:53And what it did, was it barred the sale of any handgun except the army and Navy.
- 9:58The cult the ex Confederate soldiers already had had had these high quality guns, but poor black Americans could not bear, could not afford these expensive guns.
- 10:09And so they were unable to have guns available to them that that they could afford to buy other states followed.
- 10:17With these neutral laws, banning inexpensive guns or acquiring permits to own a gun.
- 10:23At one Florida judge, explain the laws were passed for the purpose of disarming, the Negro laborers, and never intended to be applied to the white population.
- 10:31Jim Crow loss also became the foundation of gun control in America.
- 10:35Again, Jim Crow laws were part of the democratic party.
- 10:39These laws spread in the north in the early decades of the 20th century aimed primarily at immigrants, Italians, and Jews or labor agitators, or in response to blacks having defended themselves against race rights at the, so again, Whenever you hear somebody say that something is, is racist.
- 10:57First, let's take, you need to take the race out of the scenario and determine what the cause of could be that caused that situation.
- 11:06And we get, have to continue to not let the left the democratic, the Marxists that are trying to take over this country to rewrite history and flip it and say, and that is, they continue to.
- 11:18The perspective and saying that, you know, they completely distance themselves from the fact that the democratic party was the one that created the KU Klux Klan.
- 11:27They created Jim Crow laws.
- 11:28They were, they are racist.
- 11:30They're still really founded in racism and they're, they're trying to cover it up with things like critical race theory and changing, you know, your perspective on things.
- 11:40But.
- 11:41And then saying that the second amendment was actually racist.
- 11:44So this is this time and I, you know, it's hard to talk about this in this 4th of July like this, but you know, this time is critical in our nation.
- 11:53We have to stand up, we have to continue to fight night, keep that's a mantra of this podcast.
- 11:57We have to fight.
- 11:58We have to keep people educated out there.
- 12:00And any, any narrative that the second amendment was.
- 12:05Is racist needs to be squelched and put down.
- 12:08And people need to understand that our founding fathers created the second amendment because they had lived in an area where the first thing that they did was the bridge bridge government tried to take away our arms.
- 12:19That was first part how the F how the revolutionary war started was efforts to Capture munition stashes that the columnists had had stored away and take away their arms so that they knew that they could not rebel and stand up against the British monarchy.
- 12:36But and what does that sound like?
- 12:38That sounds like exactly what we're gonna say today.
- 12:42I'm gonna come and take your AR fifteens whenever Brian was questioned, you know, people think that you're going to be out there taking away their their guns.
- 12:49And he said, bingo, you have no right to own these guns.
- 12:52So, and that, unless you've got an F 15 or nuclear weapons, and you're not going to be able to take down the U S government.
- 12:58So That is what they're trying to do.
- 13:00They're trying to squelch us and keep us down.
- 13:04And our founding fathers knew the importance of the second amendment in that it was the one right that we had that would protect all of our other rights and without it all the other start fall.
- 13:16So continue to be diligent out there, protect our second amendment.
- 13:19And we have to fight, fight, fight.
- 13:21So I hope everybody out there has a great 4th of July.
