Reaction & Commentary
LAST WEEK FOR POLITICAL ADVANCES. HE JUST SPOKE AT SOME LENGTH FROM THE WHITE HOUSE ABOUT THE NEED TO DISARM THE POPULATION >> THIS ISN’T ABOUT TAKING ANYONE’S RIGHTS. ABOUT’S ABOUT PROTECTING CHILDREN. ABOUT PROTECTING FAMILIES. IT’S ABOUT PROTECTING HOLE COMMUNITIES. >>>
>> TO GO TO SCHOOL, TO A GROCERY STORE, TO A CHURCH WITHOUT BEING SHOT AND KILLED. WE NEED TO BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS AND HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES. AND IF WE CAN’T BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS, THEN WE SHOULD RAISE THE AGE TO PURCHASE THEM FROM 18-21. STRENGTHEN BACKGROUND CHECKS
ENACT SAFE STORAGE LAW AND RED FLAG LAWS, REPEAL THE IMMUNITY THAT PROTECTS GUN MANUFACTURERS FROM LIABILITY. ADDRESS THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS DEEPENING THE TRAUMA OF GUN VIOLENCE AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THAT VIOLENCE. THESE ARE RATIONAL COMMON SENSE MEASURES AND IF CONGRESS FAILS,
I BELIEVE THIS TIME A MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WON’T GIVE UP EITHER. I BELIEVE THE MAJORITY OF YOU WILL ACT. >> Tucker: SO TO SUMMARIZE THE PRESIDENT’S REMARKS TONIGHT, YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS ARE NOT ABSOLUTE BUT IN TAKING THEM AWAY, WE’RE NOT ACTUALLY TAKING
AWAY YOUR RIGHTS WE’RE PROTECTING CHILDREN TO WHICH YOU MIGHT ASK, AM I A THREAT TO CHILDREN? THAT QUESTION IS NEVER ANSWERED BY THE PRESIDENT. THE POINT OF THIS, OF COURSE, IS TO DISARM PEOPLE WHO DID NOT VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN, AND THAT IS WHY SIMULTANEOUS WITH THIS, THIS
EFFORT TO RECATEGORIZE THE GUNS IN YOUR CLOSET AS FELONIES, DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN FAILING TO FROM GUN CRIMES IN OUR CITIES WHERE MOST OF THE CRIME IS. AND IF YOU’RE AT ALL CONFUSED ABOUT WHETHER THE EFFORT HERE IS SELECTIVE, THAT THIS IS ENFORCEMENT ONLY OF CERTAIN
PEOPLE, YOU’LL NOTICE THE PRESIDENT NEVER MENTIONED THE APPARENT FEDERAL GUN FELONY HIS OWN SON COMMITTED WHEN HE LIED ON A FEDERAL BACKGROUND FORM WHEN HE BOUGHT A HANDGUN. DIDN’T MENTION THAT. JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS COMPLETELY IGNORED IT. INSTEAD, BIDEN’S FELLOW DEMOCRATS AND THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES SPENT THE DAY DEBATING WAYS TO DISARM YOU, AMERICANS WHO HAVE COMMIT IN ORDER CRIME AT ALL AND WANT ONLY TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND FAMILIES. DEMOCRATS PLAN TO CRIMINALIZE WHAT THEY’RE CALL LARGE CAPACITY HEEDING DEVICES, THAT IS SPECIFICALLY ANY MAGAZINE THAT
CAN HOLD MORE THAN TEN ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION. AS IT TURNS OUT, THAT IS MOST MAGAZINES IN THE UNITED STATES. 10s OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS RIGHT NOW HAVE SO-CALLED HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES IN THEIR HOME. THEY’RE NOT MILITIA MEMBERS OR GUN NUTS THEY’RE NORMAL PEOPLE.
AND THE REASON THEY HAVE THEM IS BECAUSE MOST MODERN HANDGUNS AND RIFLES USE THAT TYPE OF MAGAZINE, THE KIND THAT JOE BIDEN IS TELLING YOU IS THREATENING ESOTERIC. THESE SAME FIREARMS, THE ONES IN YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW WILL NOT ACCEPT THE KIND OF DIMINISHED
MAGAZINES JOE BIDEN IS DEMANDING YOU USE. THAT MEANS IN EFFECT ALL OF THOSE GUNS WILL BE BANNED. WHICH GUNS SPECIFICALLY? WELL, OF COURSE, THE GLOCK 19 PROBABLY THE MOST POPULAR. IT COMES FROM THE MANUFACTURER WITH A 15-ROUND MAGAZINE T GLOCK 19 IS NOT AN ESPECIALLY SCARY
FIREARM, IT’S A WORKMANLIKE PISTOL. IF YOU HAVE ANY INTEREST IN GUNS AT ALL YOU PROBABLY ALREADY OWN ONE. BUT UNDER THIS BILL THE GLOCK 19 WOULD BE BANNED. ILLEGAL. A FELONY SITTING IN YOUR BEDSIDE TABLE AND SO WOULD MANY OTHER POPULAR FIREARMS IN THE UNITED STATES.
THIS IS ABOUT SAVING THE CHILDREN, JOE BIDEN JUST TOLD US BUT HOW MANY LIVES WOULD THIS NEW LAW SAVE? WELL, WE KNOW THE ANSWER. ZERO. NOT ONE. WE KNOW THAT BECAUSE THERE’S PRECISELY NO EVIDENCE AT ALL AND NEVER HAS BEEN THAT LARGER MAGAZINES SOMEHOW INSPIRE MASS SHOOTING.
BUT OF COURSE SAVING LIVES IS NOT THE POINT OF THIS. DISARMING YOU IS THE POINT. FLORIDA CONGRESSMAN JEB STUBY TRIED TO EXPLAINED THAT AT A HEARING OF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. HOW DID THAT UNFOLD? >> HERE’S A GUN I CARRY EVERY DAY TO PROTECT MY WIFE, MY
FAMILY, MY HOME. COMES WITH A 15 ROUND MAGAZINE. HERE’S A SEVEN ROUND MAGAZINE WHICH IS LESS WHICH WOULD BE LAWFUL IF THIS WERE TO BECOME LAW. IT DOESN’T FIT SO THIS GUN WOULD BE BANNED. >> I HOPE THAT GUN IS NOT LOADED.
>> I’M AT MY HOUSE, I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT WITH MY GUN. >> Tucker: SO YOU HEARD A VOICE IN THE BACKGROUND. GREG OBVIOUSLY KNOWS HIS WAY AROUND FIREARMS, THAT WAS HIS GUN. BUT OFF-CAMERA YOU HEARD SHEILA JACKSON LEE OF TEXAS INTERRUPTH
GREG STUBY TO TELL HIM HOW TO HANDLE A FIREARM IN HIS OWN HOME. IS SHE A GUN INSTRUCTOR? WHAT DOES SHE KNOW ABOUT FIREARMS. SHE ONCE EXPLAINED TO US THAT AR-15S SHOOT 50 CALIBER ROUNDS AND WEIGH MORE THAN, QUOTE, TEN BOXES, WHATEVER THAT MEANS.
SO SHEILA JACKSON LEE KNOWS LITERALLY NOTHING ABOUT BY ARMS AND YET SHE PLANS, WITHOUT SHAM, TO REGULATE THEM. BUT ONLY REGULATE YOUR GUN. SHEILA JACKSON LEE HAS NO INTENTION OF DISARMING HER OWN BODY GUARDS FOR EXAMPLE, OR OWN CONSTITUENTS. THE DEMOCRATS BILL CONTAINS AN
EXPLICIT EXEMPTION FOR BODY GUARDS EVEN SHE UNDERSTANDS THEY MAY NEED MORE THAN TEN ROUNDS. AND WASHINGTON POST AMERICAN LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS UBIQUITOUSLY CARRY HANDGUNS WITH MORE THAN TEN ROUNDS AND OFTEN MORE THAN FOOERNGS OFTEN WHY THEIR RIFLES CARRY 30 MAGAZINES NOT TEN. WHY WOULD SHEILA JACKSON LEE’S
BODY GUARDS NEED ALL OF THOSE BULLETS? WHY WOULD ANYBODY NEED ALL THOSE BULLETS AS CHUCK SCHUMER OFTEN ASKS RHETORICALLY AND THE ANSWER IS BECAUSE IT’S A DANGEROUS WORLD AND IF YOU’RE SERIOUS ABOUT PROTECTING THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE YOU WILL BE SERIOUS ABOUT THE FIREARM YOU CARRY.
WE KNOW FOR A FACT NOW DEMOCRATS ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT PROTECTING YOU OR YOUR FAMILY AND THAT’S WHY THEY DEFUNDED YOUR POLICE AND CALLED YOU A RACIST FOR COMPLAINING ABOUT IT AS YOUR CITY CO-LATCHED. WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT DEEPLY, WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT ANYTHING AT
ALL IS PROTECTING THEMSELVES AND THAT’S WHY THEIR BODY GUARDS WILL CONTINUE TO GET ANY KIND OF MAGAZINE THEY WANT. AND WHAT THEY WANT ARE HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES. DEMOCRATS SPENT THE REST OF THE DAY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BAN WHAT JOE BIDEN HAS CALLED GHOST GUNS.
GHOST GUNS, THEY’RE SCARY. SEVERAL STATES TURNS OUT ALREADY TRIED TO BAN GHOST GUNS BUT EVERY STATE HAS RUN INTO THE SAME PROBLEM. NO ONE CAN SAY WHAT A GHOST GUN IS. IT’S A MADE-UP TERM. IT HAS NO MEANING. AS A JUDGE IN NEVADA PUT IT LATE
LAST YEAR WHEN HE STRUCK DOWN A BAN ON GHOST GUNS, NEVADA WOULD FACE THE RISK OF DISCRUMB MARRY ENFORCEMENT OF PROSECUTORS AS THEY IN THEIR SOLE DISCRETION WITHOUT GUIDANCE COULD LABEL ALMOST ANYTHING AN UNFINISHED FRAME OR RECEIVER IF IT IN ANY
WAY RESEMBLES A FIREARM FRAME OR RECEIVER. IN OTHER WORDS ANY GUN COULD BE A GHOST GUN IF DEMOCRAT OPTTIVES SAY IT IS. THAT’S HOW THEY LIKE IT. THEY SAY A GHOST GUN IS A FIREARM INCLUDING PARTS THAT DOES NOT HAVE A UNIQUE SERIAL NUMBER ENGRATE BY A LICENSED
MANUFACTURER. OKAY. BUT THE QUESTION IS, WHICH PART OF A FIREARM SHOULD REQUIRE ENGRAVED SERIAL NUMBER? THAT’S THE QUESTION. ON THAT QUESTION HANGS WHETHER OR NOT YOUR POSSESSION OF THIS OBJECT IS A FELONY OR LEGAL. NOW, ACCORDING TO THE BILL, ANY, QUOTE, ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS OF
THE FIREARM WOULD REQUIRE AN ENGRAVED SEARIAL NUMBER BUT HERE’S THE POINT, MERIT GARLAND GETS TO MAKE THE CALL. THIS BILL GRANDS MERRICK GARLAND WHO IS A CRAVEN AND RUTHLESS PART SANE WE KNOW THAT FOR A FACT GRANTS HIM THE SOLE AUTHORITY TO DEFINE WHAT AN
ESSENTIAL COMPONENT IS. AND IF MERIT GARLAND DECIDES YOU HAVE AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT THAT DOES NOT HAVE AN ENGRATE SERIAL NUMBER, YOU’RE GOING TO JAIL. SEE HOW THIS WORKS. ONCE AGAIN THE POINT IS NOT TO STOP SCHOOL SHOOTINGS, THERE’S NEVER BEEN A SCHOOL SHOOTING WITH A SO-CALLED GHOST GUN.
IF YOU WERE INTERESTED IN STOPPING SCHOOL SHOOTINGS AND ALL OF US SHOULD BE YOU WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT WHY THEY HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHAT DO THE PEOPLE WHO COMMIT THEM HAVE IN COMMON. BUT NO ONE ON THE DEMOCRAT SIDE IS DOING THAT.
SO THIS ISN’T AN ATTEMPT TO STOP SCHOOL SHOOTINGS. IT’S NOT AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THIS A SAFER COUNTRY. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. THE BEGINNING OF A PLAN TO CONFISCATE AND CRIMINALIZE FIREARMSS IN THE HANDS OF THE LAW ABIDEN IN THIS COUNTRY.
IF YOU DOUBT THAT NANCY PELOSI HAS ALREADY ANNOUNCED SHE WILL INTRODUCE LEGISLATION BANNING ASSAULT WEAPONS NEXT WEEK. ASSAULT WEAPONS, WHAT’S AN ASSAULT WEAPONS, ANY GUN HER BODY GUARDS HAVE THAT YOU SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE. ALSO A RED FLAG LAW THAT WOULD
ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT TO SEIZE FIREARMS FROM ANYBODY IT WANTS WHETHER OR NOT THEY COMMITTED A CRIME. NOW, UNDER OUR CURRENT SYSTEM YOU HAVE TO BE CONVICTED IN ORDER TO BE PUNISHED BUT UNDER RED FLAG LAWS IF SOMEONE DOESN’T LIKE THE CUT OF YOUR JIB YOU
LOSE YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. NOW THAT’S BALDLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND YOU KNOW IT IS BECAUSE DEMOCRATS ARE SUDDENLY TALKING ABOUT PACKING THE SCORE IN ORDER TO MAKE IT LAW. WATCH. >> YOU WILL NOT STOP US FROM ADVANCING THE PROTECTING OUR KIDS ACT TODAY.
YOU WILL NOT STOP US FROM PASSING IT IN THE HOUSE NEXT WEEK, AND YOU WILL NOT STOP US THERE. IF THE FILIBUSTER OBSTRUCTS US, WE WILL ABOLISH IT. IF THE SUPREME COURT OBJECTS, WE WILL EXPAND IT. AND WE WILL NOT REST UNTIL WE
HAVE TAKEN WEAPONS OF WAR OUT OF CIRCULATION IN OUR COMMUNITY. EACH AND EVERY DAY, WE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO END GUN VIOLENCE, WHATEVER IT TAKES. >> Tucker: UH-HUH. IN OUR COMMUNITIES. REALLY? WHAT’S THE MURDER RATE IN YOUR COMMUNITY, PAL, AND WHAT EXACTLY
HAVE YOU DONE TO MAKE IT BETTER? NOTHING. MR. JONES WANTS POWER THEY ALL DO AND TO THAT END HE WANTS TO END THE FILIBUSTER DESTROY THE ENTIRE JUDICIARY TO, QUOTE, END GUN VIOLENCE. A MOVE LIKE THAT RAISES A LOT OF QUESTIONS, FOR EXAMPLE, DOES
MONDARE JONES HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT LIKE THE DETAILS, BECAUSE YOU’RE A LAWMAKER. FOX’S HILLARY VAUGHN CAUGHT UP WITH HIM WANTING TO KNOW WHAT WEAPONS OF WAR HE WANTED TO BAN. INTERESTING EXCHANGE WATCH THIS. >> YOU MENTIONED YOU WANT WEAPONS OF WAR OUT OF CIRCULATION.
WHAT IS A WEAPON OF WAR TO YOU. >> ASSAULT WEAPON. ASSAULT WEAPON. >> IS THAT LIKE SEMIAUTOMATIC HANDGUNS AND RIVALS. >> SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPONS WOULD QUALIFY AS ASSAULT WEAPONS AND THEY SHOULD BE BANNED. >> THAT WOULD TAKE ALMOST EVERY GUN OUT OF PEOPLE’S HANDS.
>> THAT’S NOT TRUE. HANDGUNS FOR EXAMPLE WOULD NOT QUALIFY UNDER WHAT I JUST DESCRIBED. I’M SORRY. I’VE GOT TO GO. >> OKAY. >> Tucker: SO, YES, MONDARE JONES JUST EXPLAINED, YEAH, ALL SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPONS WHICH HILLARY VAUGHN SAYS HANDGUNS, YES, HANDGUNS. YOU WANT TO TAKE PEOPLE’S HANDS
GUNS AWAY? NO THAT WOULDN’T QUALIFY AS ASSAULT WEAPONS EVEN THOUGH HE JUST DEFINED IT AS ANY SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPON. SO CLEARLY MONDARE JONES KNOWS WHAT HILLARY VAUGHN WAS TRYING TO TELL HIM THAT MOST FIREARMS IN THIS COUNTRY INCLUDING MOST HANDGUNS ARE QUOTE SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPONS.
WE DON’T HAVE 22 CALIBERS THAT AREN’T CAUSING A TON OF SCHOOL SHOOTINGS. BUT WHEN SHE POINTS THIS OUT HE RUNS AWAY. AND PROBABLY NOT BACK TO HIS DISTRICT TO LOWER THE MURDER RATE. HE JUST DIDN’T WANT TO GET INTO DETAILS. SO WHAT ARE WE LOOKING AT.
TODAY A GUY ONLE TWITTER SPIKE COHEN SUMMED IT UP NICELY. THE US GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN ARMING UKRAINE BECAUSE THEY’RE ALLIES. THE US GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN SEEKING TO DISARM RUSSIA BECAUSE THEY’RE OPPONENTS. IN TOTALLY UNRELATED NEWS, THE US GOVERNMENT SEEKS TO DISARM YOU. WELL, EXACTLY. THAT’S THE FRAMING.
THAT’S THE TRUTH. ANYONE WHO TRIES TO DISARM YOU BY DEFINITION CONSIDERS YOU AN ENEMY. THAT’S WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR ENEMIES. YOU DISARM THEM. YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR ALLIES, YOUR CHILDREN, PEOPLE YOU LOVE. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO PREVENT THEM FROM DEFENDING YOURSELVES? YOU NEVER WOULD.
YOU CERTAINLY WOULDN’T SCREAM AT THEM FROM THE PODIUM ABOUT HOW THEY’RE KILLING CHILDREN IF THAT’S WHAT THEY WANT TO PROTECT THEIR OWN FAMILY THAT’S WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR ENEMY. YET SOMEHOW A LOT OF REPUBLICANS
