- 0:36Speaker 1: Welcome back, my friend, AWR Hawkins. It's always a pleasure
- 0:39Speaker 1: to have you on, talk about guns and gun laws.
- 0:43Speaker 2: Good to be Withicky, buddy. I'm glad we worked it
- 0:45Speaker 2: out today.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Oh me too, because you know the main reason I
- 0:48Speaker 1: got a brag, Awr. I got a brag on my
- 0:51Speaker 1: most recent acquisition. You're ready, Yes, Staccato C two with
- 0:56Speaker 1: a Triga con rm R H D.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a remarkable pistol right there. You can shoot
- 1:03Speaker 2: like that with that?
- 1:05Speaker 1: Yeah, beautiful it is. I just had to brags. There,
- 1:09Speaker 1: we go, get it out of my system. Pivoting over,
- 1:11Speaker 1: I'm not sure you're want to start, so I'm just
- 1:13Speaker 1: going to ask you. You know, we can disagree with
- 1:17Speaker 1: Donald Trump, we can agree with him, it doesn't matter.
- 1:19Speaker 1: But bad advice. You can't walk in with guns. You
- 1:22Speaker 1: can't have guns, he said the other day. You can't
- 1:24Speaker 1: walk in with guns. Now he was upset. This of
- 1:26Speaker 1: course relates to the shooting on Saturday, and that optics
- 1:31Speaker 1: on that one are terrible regarding Alex pretty But everybody
- 1:35Speaker 1: is entitled to their Second Amendment protections, and I would
- 1:38Speaker 1: argue that being in a dangerous environment like a violent protest,
- 1:43Speaker 1: if you have to be there, if you're going to
- 1:45Speaker 1: be near the place, that will be someplace where a
- 1:47Speaker 1: license lawfully carrying firearm owner might want to have his
- 1:51Speaker 1: or herd firearm with him, just to protect themselves in
- 1:53Speaker 1: the event of something going crazy.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and I would assess I would have said
- 2:00Speaker 2: the crowd. I mean, you may think I'm crazy personally
- 2:03Speaker 2: on this, I don't think I would well, number one.
- 2:05Speaker 2: I wouldn't go number too. I'm not sure i'd have
- 2:09Speaker 2: a gunless I unless I had a retention hoster at
- 2:14Speaker 2: a law enforcement level, because I always worry about someone
- 2:18Speaker 2: in a crowd like that. People are bumping, bumping, bumping,
- 2:20Speaker 2: bumping against you. Someone feels a gun, some lunatic and
- 2:23Speaker 2: grab it. But I think, I think something else, Brian.
- 2:27Speaker 2: That's this is the benefit of us having one day.
- 2:30Speaker 2: You and I were supposed to be together yesterday now
- 2:32Speaker 2: instead of today, and in that day we've learned. As
- 2:34Speaker 2: you know that Alex pretty had a confrontation with law
- 2:40Speaker 2: enforcement a week before he was shot. The confrontation was
- 2:43Speaker 2: rough enough that it broke one of his ribs. He
- 2:46Speaker 2: was apparently trying to impede them from getting a family
- 2:48Speaker 2: that they were going to deport, and he was known
- 2:51Speaker 2: by law enforcement. So that again, when you know all that,
- 2:55Speaker 2: Trump's Statement's not that crazy because if the guy had
- 2:58Speaker 2: a confrontation a week ago federal law enforcement and a
- 3:02Speaker 2: week before the shooting, excuse me, and then he shows
- 3:06Speaker 2: up a week later armed, it does give you the
- 3:09Speaker 2: impression that maybe maybe there were some bad intentions. Now
- 3:13Speaker 2: I can't read his intentions. I can't talk to him
- 3:16Speaker 2: about him. Yes, I'm just saying to me, there are
- 3:18Speaker 2: far more questions than there are answers well, and.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Those questions remain. And I'm the kind of guy that
- 3:23Speaker 1: doesn't want to jump to any upfront conclusion about anything
- 3:26Speaker 1: the next day, like Christynomme apparently did when he was
- 3:30Speaker 1: not brandishing the firearm walking around pointing it at people
- 3:34Speaker 1: or anything. Although that's exactly what she said right after
- 3:36Speaker 1: the shooting happened. So you know, it's better to keep
- 3:38Speaker 1: your powder dry weight till you get the information before
- 3:40Speaker 1: you go on record on something. But you mentioned known
- 3:43Speaker 1: by law enforcement. There's a little detail I'd like to
- 3:46Speaker 1: know now, because it's circumstance driven use of deadly force.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Did they know that guy was in there? Did the
- 3:52Speaker 1: law enforcement officers were this? Was this known by law
- 3:55Speaker 1: enforcement concept something that the individuals involved in the clash
- 3:59Speaker 1: with this guy were aware of and therefore on a
- 4:01Speaker 1: heightened level of concern which would be factored into the
- 4:05Speaker 1: afterwards discussion whether it was reasonable to use deadly force.
- 4:09Speaker 2: I don't know that they did well, And I'll be
- 4:13Speaker 2: honest with you, Brian, I'm not even kidding I thought
- 4:15Speaker 2: about this overnight. I woke up in the night, and
- 4:18Speaker 2: I'll do that every now and in my little mind,
- 4:20Speaker 2: I'll be spending and I just think about things. And
- 4:22Speaker 2: I was thinking, what if the very group of officers
- 4:27Speaker 2: that dealt with him during the last let's say minute
- 4:30Speaker 2: of his life, what if those were the same officers
- 4:34Speaker 2: with whom he had a conflict and a confrontation and
- 4:37Speaker 2: who he allegedly impeded another week before that. Yep, another
- 4:41Speaker 2: thing that would change again. If we know that, that changes.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Everything, right, because you judge use of reasonable force based
- 4:49Speaker 1: upon your being in the position of the person using
- 4:54Speaker 1: reasonable force at the moment in time the force was used.
- 4:58Speaker 1: This isn't like an NFL play by play where you
- 5:00Speaker 1: go back and parse it from different angles. You can't
- 5:02Speaker 1: understand the emotion of the individual, the circumstances. You know,
- 5:04Speaker 1: the level of agitation, they're on the level of a
- 5:07Speaker 1: heightened concern for their own safety. You have to factor
- 5:11Speaker 1: all that in and again, all the information that is
- 5:13Speaker 1: in that person's head at the time goes to establish
- 5:17Speaker 1: the reasonableness of the use of deadly force. So we
- 5:20Speaker 1: don't have all that yet. It could be that it
- 5:22Speaker 1: comes out and it may make that shooting appear more justifiable.
- 5:26Speaker 1: But in the absence of that extra information, we're all
- 5:28Speaker 1: kind of flying blind, aren't we.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Yeah, But I think it will come out. I mean
- 5:35Speaker 2: I believe that because I believe they want it to
- 5:38Speaker 2: come out. You don't want you don't want to lose allies,
- 5:42Speaker 2: and you know, you expect the left to be hysteria
- 5:46Speaker 2: hysteria driven and ignorant and to say stupid things, but
- 5:51Speaker 2: you don't want to lead your allies to follow suit.
- 5:54Speaker 2: So I believe that they they'll get out everything they
- 5:56Speaker 2: know as they know it. I really do believe that well.
- 6:00Speaker 1: And it was rumors circling on the internet far and
- 6:02Speaker 1: wide to report it, even on some mainstream articles, that
- 6:06Speaker 1: they have body camera footage. I thought this most recent
- 6:09Speaker 1: funding bill was to provide these agents with the body cameras,
- 6:12Speaker 1: and I guess it does, but I guess some of
- 6:14Speaker 1: them already had body cameras. I think that's pretty damn
- 6:16Speaker 1: important video to be able to see as well. And honestly, sir,
- 6:20Speaker 1: I don't know where you stand on body cameras. I
- 6:21Speaker 1: think in nine times out of ten that those body
- 6:23Speaker 1: cameras protect the officer more than protect the citizenry because
- 6:26Speaker 1: quite often they're subject to false claims of racism, more
- 6:31Speaker 1: use of force, or constitutional civil liberty violation. So you
- 6:34Speaker 1: got a video record of it, it helps.
- 6:37Speaker 2: I agree with you on that one hundred percent. I
- 6:38Speaker 2: want can I say one of the things, yes, when
- 6:40Speaker 2: we talk about these shootings, my man, everybody's missing this well,
- 6:45Speaker 2: hours after that shooting, some animal in that crowd probably
- 6:50Speaker 2: was a blue haired liberal woman with a big Ol'
- 6:54Speaker 2: ring in her nose. Someone there bit the finger off
- 6:58Speaker 2: the officer. That that person didn't see a muzzle flash
- 7:04Speaker 2: as their last view in this life is shows absolute
- 7:08Speaker 2: unbelievable restraint by that agent. Because I'm gonna say this,
- 7:12Speaker 2: if you snarl your teeth, if somebody snarls their teeth
- 7:16Speaker 2: and comes charging it me, and I can tell this
- 7:18Speaker 2: person wants to chew on me, then they're going to
- 7:21Speaker 2: meet the business end of something. And that's just that
- 7:26Speaker 2: I can't understand the restraint of that officer lost his finger.
- 7:31Speaker 2: This person literally chewed it off or bit it off,
- 7:34Speaker 2: And so people need to keep that in mind. They
- 7:37Speaker 2: try to paint these ice officers as trigger happy. The
- 7:41Speaker 2: violence these guys face, the threats they face, they have
- 7:44Speaker 2: to hide their families. Yeah, and that's how they live
- 7:48Speaker 2: every day. And I just think, while we talk about
- 7:52Speaker 2: the one thing, which I know is the central thing,
- 7:54Speaker 2: I'm not trying to undercut you. I'm just saying we
- 7:57Speaker 2: also have to remember it's amazing the restraint they show
- 7:59Speaker 2: because of their training, and the Democrats keep calling these
- 8:03Speaker 2: people untrained, thugs and everything else. They're far from it.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Well, and the lever of vitriol and rhetoric that's out
- 8:11Speaker 1: there again, going back to the situation that is presented
- 8:15Speaker 1: at the time of the decision to use a deadly force.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I don't know how these guys cope with the day
- 8:19Speaker 1: in and day out when their wives or their loved
- 8:22Speaker 1: ones are being threatened, they are being told that their
- 8:24Speaker 1: food is going to be adulterated, their cries out there
- 8:27Speaker 1: to you know, spit in food or otherwise sabotage these
- 8:30Speaker 1: ice agents meals, for example, They're followed around. They can't
- 8:34Speaker 1: escape the watchful eye of these well organized leftist protesters.
- 8:37Speaker 1: They're being followed literally everywhere. You got to keep that
- 8:39Speaker 1: in mind as well. It's terrible and I feel so
- 8:41Speaker 1: sorry for him. Awr oh. Yeah, there's no downtime for
- 8:45Speaker 1: them in that way. But you know what this is,
- 8:49Speaker 1: This is a planned I hate to use the phrase insurgency,
- 8:52Speaker 1: but it really is, particularly when you see people flooding
- 8:55Speaker 1: into Minneapolis and such, and they're flooding into places that
- 8:59Speaker 1: they believe they can create a big enough spectacle that
- 9:03Speaker 1: President Trump will go, Okay, I'm done, we won't enforce
- 9:05Speaker 1: the immigration loan and we.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Will pull ICE out. Blah blah blah. That's the last
- 9:09Speaker 2: thing we need to do. We keep deporting. How many
- 9:13Speaker 2: did we deport today, Let's double it tomorrow. That's what if.
- 9:16Speaker 2: That would be my message. But at the same time,
- 9:20Speaker 2: the people have got to rally behind ICE. ICE has
- 9:24Speaker 2: to know there are more of us that support you.
- 9:27Speaker 2: And it's true by far than this handful of freaks
- 9:32Speaker 2: that are probably getting paid to be there to do
- 9:35Speaker 2: what they're doing. But it's a very dangerous environment for
- 9:40Speaker 2: these ICE agents, very dangerous, and I am worried. I
- 9:44Speaker 2: am worried that the violence is going to escalate to
- 9:46Speaker 2: the point that someone is going to either greatly harm
- 9:51Speaker 2: or take the life of an ICE agent.
- 9:53Speaker 1: And that's going to be a terrible day. Well, it is,
- 9:57Speaker 1: and you know, the Left is always looking for martyrs.
- 9:59Speaker 1: George Floyd di and quite turn out to be the
- 10:01Speaker 1: martyr that they made them out to be. And we
- 10:02Speaker 1: all found out the truth in that one. Shortly thereafter
- 10:06Speaker 1: this one on Saturday, though, they may have gotten the
- 10:08Speaker 1: martyr they want. And again, I know you and I'll
- 10:10Speaker 1: be waiting for all the information to come out before
- 10:11Speaker 1: it reached that conclusion. But I think they're happy that
- 10:14Speaker 1: this happened. Honestly, I really do, and honestly to AWR,
- 10:17Speaker 1: I really think that they want Donald Trump to declare
- 10:19Speaker 1: martial law.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Right, well, you know what, Yeah, Now, I don't know
- 10:25Speaker 2: if I'm gonna be honest, I don't know if they
- 10:27Speaker 2: really know what martial law isn't. I don't think we're
- 10:30Speaker 2: dealing with the sharpest knots and the drawer. But I
- 10:33Speaker 2: do think you're right they want him to do something
- 10:35Speaker 2: where they can point to overreach. But if you know,
- 10:41Speaker 2: he has myriad options and most of them have nothing
- 10:45Speaker 2: to do with overreach. But it's just a shame the
- 10:49Speaker 2: Left is showing himself, showing us who they are. You know,
- 10:51Speaker 2: you had that ag candidate in your state, Yeah, making
- 10:56Speaker 2: those crazy claims about killing Donald Trump. I mean, that's
- 10:59Speaker 2: the left. The fact that you can make those claims
- 11:03Speaker 2: running for office tells me that that individual knows his
- 11:07Speaker 2: constituents are so far left that that is an attractive
- 11:10Speaker 2: statement to them, and that is a frightening testimony for
- 11:15Speaker 2: where we are.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Yes, and he said I am going to kill Donald Trump.
- 11:18Speaker 1: You of course refern Ohio Democrat Attorney General candidate Elliott
- 11:21Speaker 1: Forehand came out and said that. Then he had to
- 11:24Speaker 1: backput a little bit by qualifying and said, well, I'm
- 11:26Speaker 1: going to obtain a conviction runner by a jury of
- 11:28Speaker 1: his peers and a standard approve on a reasonable doubt
- 11:29Speaker 1: based on evidence presented, a trial conducting in accordance with
- 11:32Speaker 1: due process, resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment. Now,
- 11:36Speaker 1: forun didn't bother saying what specifically makes Donald Trump eligible
- 11:40Speaker 1: for capital punishment? But he didn't kind of qualify it,
- 11:42Speaker 1: saying it will be pursuing to due process. But he
- 11:45Speaker 1: the original statement. I'm with you, man, I don't know
- 11:48Speaker 1: how a guy can legitimately even be considered a candidate
- 11:50Speaker 1: for office if he says I Am going to kill
- 11:52Speaker 1: Donald per Trump. Most notably given the history Donald Trump's tried.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Two people try to assassinate the man, right, but the left.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Is unhinged, and you know they're just unhinged. So you know,
- 12:08Speaker 2: God bless Donald Trump, God bless Ice, and I do
- 12:12Speaker 2: hope we get twice as many deportations today as we
- 12:15Speaker 2: had yesterday.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Yes, sir, hey real quickly, just want to run this
- 12:18Speaker 1: one by you. Representatives Queasy Fumi and Bonnie Watson Coleman
- 12:22Speaker 1: announced this past week that they're reintroducing legislation to limit
- 12:26Speaker 1: online sales of ammunition and forcing people to show a
- 12:29Speaker 1: photographic ID and which must be verified in person. How
- 12:34Speaker 1: do you view AMMO restrictions. I mean, I know you're
- 12:36Speaker 1: not in favor of them, a w are, but if
- 12:38Speaker 1: you take people's ability to buy ammunition away from them,
- 12:40Speaker 1: you basically have eviscerated the Second Amendment.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Right. I think this is something that well, number one,
- 12:47Speaker 2: it doesn't have a snowball's chance. It's not going to pass,
- 12:51Speaker 2: but I won't even get a vote. But number two,
- 12:54Speaker 2: if it did by some strange deal, it could never
- 12:57Speaker 2: survive the scrutiny of Bruin. But this is one of
- 13:02Speaker 2: those deals where see they put this in. Now it's
- 13:05Speaker 2: a thousand round limit. Oh, this is reasonable. It's a
- 13:08Speaker 2: thousand round limit. And then the next congressional, the next
- 13:13Speaker 2: congress with the Democrat majority, comes in and says, well,
- 13:16Speaker 2: it's still a little dangerous out there. We're going to
- 13:18Speaker 2: lower the five hundred rounds, and then the next congress
- 13:20Speaker 2: we're going to lowder to two fifty. Once you let
- 13:23Speaker 2: them do this, they're in. It's over. And so you
- 13:27Speaker 2: have to fight this tooth and nail. As I said,
- 13:29Speaker 2: I think, well, I know I told you our editor
- 13:32Speaker 2: in chief Alex Marlow yesterday, I pose all gun control.
- 13:35Speaker 2: I mean all of it. I mean it should be
- 13:37Speaker 2: as easy for me to get my hands on a
- 13:39Speaker 2: bullet or a gun as it is for a criminal
- 13:41Speaker 2: to do so. And it's got to always be that way,
- 13:44Speaker 2: so that the criminal knows, well, if I go after him,
- 13:48Speaker 2: he might kill me. And that is how it has
- 13:51Speaker 2: to work. That's right.
- 13:53Speaker 1: And going back to these crazy protests, if everybody was armed,
- 13:57Speaker 1: it's kind of like mutually assured destruction is at aw
- 14:00Speaker 1: r H. Maybe I'd better not pull that firearm.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Outh. Well, I do believe what now, I just want
- 14:07Speaker 2: to say, I do believe you've made a point that
- 14:10Speaker 2: we don't have time to discuss. Now, that is incredible,
- 14:12Speaker 2: But these leftists are very bold, and they act like
- 14:16Speaker 2: they're willing to die, give their lives for that. But
- 14:19Speaker 2: I don't really believe they're thinking about don I think
- 14:22Speaker 2: they believe that officers and everyone else are so restrained
- 14:26Speaker 2: that they really don't face a threat. And so I
- 14:29Speaker 2: think there is a point in what you've said that
- 14:32Speaker 2: the law abiding citizen brings a message, and the message
- 14:37Speaker 2: to the criminals is it's not worth it. It is
- 14:40Speaker 2: not worth it, no.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Question about it. And before we part a couple, they
- 14:44Speaker 1: just have to make a real quick point of a note.
- 14:46Speaker 1: We were talking about the exactly the Ammalban early in
- 14:49Speaker 1: the program. Sean, who's covering for Joe Strucker as producer
- 14:51Speaker 1: of the program this morning, and I went out to
- 14:53Speaker 1: the range and I said this thousand round?
- 14:54Speaker 2: What the hell?
- 14:55Speaker 1: I said, Sean, how many brings? How many rounds did
- 14:57Speaker 1: you and I shoot in that hour or so that
- 14:58Speaker 1: we were at the range? He said five hundred. I'm like,
- 15:01Speaker 1: exactly one day, an hour in time, five hundred round's gone.
- 15:04Speaker 1: It's nothing, and it's so arbitrary. Well, one thousand, only
- 15:07Speaker 1: thousands sounds like a lot or a ridiculous amount only
- 15:10Speaker 1: to people who never go to the rains or shoot.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Well, you know, a thousand sounds like a lot. Two Democrats, yeah,
- 15:17Speaker 2: who say that they found a shotgun and two handguns
- 15:20Speaker 2: in someone's pickup truck and they call that an arsenal.
- 15:23Speaker 2: I know those people.
- 15:24Speaker 1: A thousand is a lot, someone told me earlier. For
- 15:29Speaker 1: rich people have a collection, poor people have an arsenal.
- 15:33Speaker 2: There you go.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Maybe it boils down to just that.
- 15:35Speaker 2: A W. R.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Hawkins, I love your stuff, man, I read all of
- 15:38Speaker 1: what you write over at Breitbart Breitbart dot com for
- 15:40Speaker 1: my listeners book market. You'll be glad you did a
- 15:43Speaker 1: w are you stay well? Be safe on the range
- 15:44Speaker 1: and thanks for the safe handling Holster comment earlier. I
- 15:49Speaker 1: embraced that and encourage my listeners to look into that
- 15:52Speaker 1: as well.
- 15:52Speaker 2: It is the right thing to do. Well, thank you
- 15:55Speaker 2: and listen. Have a great day, buddy. Good to be
- 15:57Speaker 2: with you.
