SPEAKER 02 : 0:00

This is an encore of an earlier program. We are not able to accept your calls. Welcome to Shooting the Breeze, brought to you by the team at Franktown Firearms, a family-owned, family-friendly shooting range in Franktown, Colorado. Franktown Firearms offers practical, defensive training, as well as an impressive selection of firearms at the lowest tax rate, so you can develop confidence with your firearm. The team at Franktown Firearms believes the only difference between a beginner and an expert is practice. so they equip you to keep yourself and your family safe in a welcoming atmosphere. And now, here are your hosts of Shooting the Breeze.

SPEAKER 05 : 0:43

Hello, hello, hello. Happy Monday, everyone. Thank you so much for shooting the breeze with me today. My name is Karen Murray, and I’m the lead instructor at Franktown Firearms. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. You simply have to come in and check out all that’s new at Franktown Firearms. More inventory, better selection of everything. We are now a master staccato dealer, so if you know, you know, come in and check out the selection of staccatos we have. New classes are being formed in the shoot house, and you guys are not going to want to miss out on this kind of training. You won’t find this level of firearm education anywhere else in the state that’s open to the public. Plain and simple. And the shoot house, the CQB training is just the beginning. And if you don’t know what CQB is, that’s close quarter battle. You’re going to learn all about that. There is something so freaking amazing coming your way that you’re going to be beating the door down to get in on it. And that’s all I’m going to say about it for now because it’s just I have to wait until everything is a go before I disclose this to you guys. But, oh, my gosh. Stay tuned for future announcements. That’s all I got to tell you. While you’re visiting Franktown Firearms, you can sign up for a concealed carry class or ask about a range membership, which also has its perks, by the way. The guys can explain all of that to you if you’re curious. If private training is what you’re looking for, you know, some people just don’t like sitting in a classroom with a bunch of other people. And I get that. So if you want to just brush up on your skills a little bit or learn from scratch, I can help you with all of that. You can send me an email at karen.murray at franktownfirearms.com, and we can get you something scheduled. I usually run those during the weekdays. And speaking of training, now I’m going to – I want to give you some information that not many people know, or maybe they just didn’t really add these little nuggets up in their head. I’m going to use my private concealed carry class for two people as the starting point for this conversation, and I’m going to compare it to something that a lot of people in this state do, and that is skiing. Now, I know a lot of you grew up on skis, like you learn to ski before you learn to walk kind of thing. And I understand that, but not everyone who isn’t from Colorado skis. There’s a lot of transplants here from, you know, other places, Texas and California and what we see in our politics, which I’m going to cover later. But many people who are natives to Colorado don’t ski. So If you want to go into the high country and slap a pair of skis on, what do most rational people do? What do they do first? They take a lesson, right? Whether it’s from their dad or from, you know, they hire somebody that actually works at the resort and they take a lesson. So currently, the price to take a private concealed carry class for two people from me at Franktown Firearms is $380. Okay? The class is four hours long. It includes a handgun rental if you don’t have one. It includes eye and ear protection if you don’t have that. And it includes targets. And about an hour of range time with me helping you every step of the way. So it’s very hands-on. It’s a very personal kind of training. Now, that price will increase dramatically after July 1st because the class will be eight hours at that point, and I won’t be offering nearly as many private classes in that format just because it’s not really feasible. However, I’ll still run them, and I’m going to be running them up until then, you know, like I always do during the week. So, Back to the comparison to skiing and ski lessons. So I was browsing this morning at the price for a three-hour ski lesson for two people at Winter Park on a weekday. So it wasn’t even a weekend. It wasn’t, you know, prime time, whatever. I went to their website, and I added a three-hour lesson for two people on a Thursday to the cart. Are you ready for this number? Are you ready? Okay. $838 for a private ski lesson for two people. Now, some might say, but it’s worth it. Skiing is dangerous, and you can get injured if you aren’t doing it correctly. This moment could be a mic drop for me, or maybe Luke has some crickets on audio to play here. I don’t know. But I will ask you, If you think skiing is dangerous and you could get injured if you don’t do it the right way, don’t you think the same reasoning should apply to firearms training? In my humble opinion, a private concealed carry class for two people is a bargain at $380. Plus, you don’t have to sit in traffic on I-70s. You just have to come down to Franktown Firearms, conveniently located just east of the intersection of Highway 83 and Highway 86 in Franktown. So if it’s something you’ve been considering, please look into it and schedule your class before July 1st. That’s all I’m going to say. Get trained. Get committed. Get immersed. and join this amazing group of American patriots who enjoy the liberty afforded to them by God and protected by the Constitution of the United States to keep and bear arms. You know, maybe somebody should suggest all of this to the commies who seem to have taken over and entrenched themselves in the Colorado legislature. As you know, there is a bill that’s making its way through the Colorado Senate, SB 25-003, henceforth is going to be called SB 3. We like to shorten things around here. So remember when I mentioned this bill when it first was introduced. This is the bill that would ban any semi-automatic firearm that accepts a detachable magazine. Well, this bill was bad enough. as it was originally drafted. During the second reading of the bill, which was last, I think it was Friday, I believe, SB3 was heavily amended, and now it’s even worse, you guys. It’s worse. I want you to hear this audio. This is a guy that kind of quickly explains the bill as well as the amendment. Check this out.

SPEAKER 01 : 7:56

Breaking news out of Colorado in regards to the ridiculous anti-gun bill that would make Colorado the most gun-restricted state in the country by banning all semi-automatic pistols, rifles, and shotguns that take detachable magazines. Late last night, it went on to like 2 in the morning, they ended up passing this bill and they included a crazy amendment in it that’s basically set to allow us peasants to buy back our rights. So the amendment they put in there was basically like a FOID card, which we know is unconstitutional. But essentially they want you to pass a hunter safety course along with some other firearms instructed course in order to actually be able to purchase semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and pistols that take detachable magazines. And of course, that all costs money. If you have a hunting license, you also have to take an additional four-hour course that is overseen by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife. And if you don’t have a hunting license, then you would have to take an undefined 12-hour course. And we don’t know what that really entails at this point. The Senate Republicans requested a fiscal note on the bill. Originally, the fiscal note was $0. But with this amendment, this fiscal note is now $1.8 million. This is significant because the legislator is currently dealing with a billion-dollar shortfall in their budget. The bill is being heard again today, Friday, and it needs another pass in the Senate to make it to the House chamber. Let’s hope this doesn’t pass, but this isn’t looking too good. So if this passes, then it goes on to the House of Representatives, which gets further reviewed, and then if it passes that, then it goes on to Polis’ desk. This is ridiculously unconstitutional and you all got to be pretty frustrated with this as I am. If there’s anything else we can do at this point, it’s just reaching out to the senators once again and even putting pressure on Governor Polis because if this passes, it’s going to end up on his desk. I really don’t think he’s going to sign it, but I don’t want to have to have him as our last resort here. If you want to keep up to date with this stuff, go to the website WeTheSecond. It’s set up by a bunch of local firearms instructors and gun activists. It’s run really nicely. It gives you great updates and it gives you direction on where to go to contact your senators. And it’s going to give you more information on future bills if anything like this comes up. So check out that website, WeTheSecond.com.

SPEAKER 05 : 9:55

All right. So if you didn’t catch the FOID, that’s Firearms Owner Identification Card. And that’s what you’re going to be required to have if you want to own one of these restricted firearms. And I agree with him in that I don’t want to rely on Polis as our last line of defense. Okay? We all know how he is. So, oh, my gosh. So SB3 is scheduled for the third reading and final Senate vote tomorrow, actually, the 18th, February 18th. And then it will move into the House. It will likely pass there. And then it’s going to get laid on Polis’ desk for him to sign. Now, if you’re listening to this program, I know you care about this. We can’t be complacent and just allow these people to run roughshod over our constitutional rights. It’s as simple as that. And this one is bad. They’ve already been hard at work over the last few years, making the lives of law-abiding gun owners more difficult. Wouldn’t you agree? These tyrants have created all kinds of laws that are an affront to the Second Amendment. The 15-round magazine capacity limit, the three-day waiting period for taking possession of a firearm that you already purchased, among several others. And now we have this piece of work, this legislative tyranny coming down the pike. So I’m going to implore you to reach out to your legislators and to polis and make your voices heard. I mean, I know that I’ve said it like, yeah, they just hit delete, like they don’t care, right? And you can show up in person and they still don’t care. It’s just the way that they are. But we have to do whatever we can to keep this bill from passing. Even if you’re not a gun owner, but you believe in the Constitution and the liberty that comes with it, you should still be fired up about this. I mean, it’s the Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights. What’s next? Are we going to need a free speech card? As a firearms instructor, of course, I believe in training and safety, and I always will. I always compare learning to use a gun with learning to drive. Remember how nervous you were when you first got behind the wheel of a car to drive for the first time? You were nervous. You probably drove really slow as you were learning all the controls and getting used to the whole experience, right? You didn’t want to wreck the car, wreck your mom’s car or your dad’s car or whatever and hurt yourself or someone else. But now what do you do? You jump in and away you go. You don’t even give it a second thought. You get in the driver’s seat. You don’t even have to look to grab the seatbelt and get it latched. You put your car in reverse or in drive without even looking to find the gear shift, and you pull out of your driveway. You look behind you. You check the safety spots and the blind spots and all that, right? When you make a left-hand turn, you look right, and then you look left, and then you look right again. You’re safe, and you use your blinkers, use your mirrors, You know that if you’re not driving safely that you could get hurt. Your car could be undriveable and it would cost you a lot of money overall if you crash the car. It’s all second nature to you now. You’re confident behind the wheel of your car, but it was a bit of a process when you first started driving, right? That’s kind of common sense. Well, that’s what most firearms instructors want for their students when it comes to handling a firearm. We want you to be confident. We want you to practice. and turn those deliberate movements that we teach you into muscle memory. And in my opinion, there’s firearms training, and then there’s draconian overreach that is nothing more than a money grab. And SB3 is just that, unconstitutional overreach. An editorial from the Colorado Springs Gazette puts this bill in the crosshairs, so to speak. And I’m going to read it for you now. The left plans to – now, you’ve got to listen to this carefully and think about how this guy is wording this. The left plans to ban guns among the poor and minorities. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, surrounded by the world’s most sophisticated bodyguards, has a warning for the bad guys. Speaking of her semi-automatic pistol, during a 60 Minutes interview that aired in October, Harris said, quote, if someone breaks into my house, they’re getting shot. She would shoot the intruder with a common handgun, many of which fall in the sights of Colorado’s activist left-wing legislative Democrats with the amended version of Senate Bill 3. Senate Bill 3 set out to forbid the sale, purchase, and transfer of semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and pistols. Sponsors feared Democratic Governor Jared Polis might veto something so extreme. We would hope so, given that his oath of office began with, I do swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state of Colorado. To contend with that concern, the bill’s hard-left sponsors amended it and won preliminary Senate approval at 2 a.m. on Friday. I guess that would be Saturday morning, by the way. If Polis signs the new version, he will go down among history’s worst gun-grabbing politicians. If Polis does anything other than veto SB3, he will lose his viability as a candidate for national office. When a politician appears to the left of Harris on guns, his future is dim. The new version attempts to preclude critics from saying it outlaws common handguns, rifles, and shotguns. Instead, it limits their acquisition to wealthy, disproportionately white male consumers. With the new amendments, Polis could buy the targeted guns net worth greater than $400 or his net worth greater than $400 million, along with most legislators who could not buy the guns or who could not buy the guns unable to meet the law’s high threshold, include people who need self-protection the most. the low-income battered women, low-income members of the LGBTQIA community, and low-income minorities living in Colorado’s high-crime neighborhoods. Sure, pass a bill that harms only the lower half of the socioeconomic ladder. They won’t fuss because they are busy paying for overpriced food and inflated utility bills while staying off the radar of TDA gangsters and other criminals who chuckle at gun laws. The amended bill would institutionalize social injustice and inequity. Instead of screwing 100% of Coloradans out of their gun rights, it would substantially burden only the working class and poor, the people most endangered by crime. It would, until a court says otherwise, pretend the Second Amendment says gun rights shall not be infringed among the rich. Consider a single mother with two jobs and a well-armed, drunken, abusive ex-boyfriend who threatens her to obtain a typical user-friendly gun. She would have to, number one, these are all bulleted. Submit fingerprints to a sheriff to perform a lengthy background check that might clear her for an eligibility ID card that would qualify her to apply for a firearm safety course. The second one, if eligible, the prospective gun owner would need to complete an extended firearm safety course or hunter safety course combined with a firearm safety course. And the third one, after obtaining permission and completing the coursework, the prospective gun owner would have to pass a final exam with a score of at least 90%. It’s like old South literacy tests that kept the wrong people from voting. It also manifests in a gun registry of questionable legality. Without disposable income, a flexible work schedule, and ample free time, forget it. Meeting the threshold would be, for average Coloradans, a pipe dream too expensive and time-consuming to pursue. Criminals will love this law. Sadly, the far left tolerates personal empowerment, freedom, and safety only for those who can pay for it. It is the latest and most extreme effort from the left’s safe and cozy ivory tower to favor criminals over everyone else. And I couldn’t have said it better myself, even though some of that content in there, if you know me, you know that I kind of scoff at that, but whatever. This, of course, is coming from the same government that ignored this Venezuelan gang wreaking havoc in the Aurora apartment complex, or complexes, up to and including condemning the building and allowing them to take over while kicking everyone else out. So obviously, their stance is to place their boot on the neck of everyone involved. So we can no longer afford to get armed and defend ourselves because the cost of training is going to be so high and the red tape you have to go through to buy or keep your semi-automatic firearms will be absolutely ridiculous. SB3 will make everything so much of a hassle and so expensive that even people who are proficient and trained will just stop buying and training with their guns, which I’m assuming is what their goal is, actually. Or people will just move to a state that’s not so much like communist China, which is kind of what we’re looking like now. I can’t even say California, because if SB3 passes, we’re going to be worse than California. So this bill is moving through, and at the same time, this criminal gang is being protected. And this gang is running around with all the guns that this bill seeks to ban. Not only that, but these Democrats are actually taking on the federal government and fighting ICE to keep these criminals here so they can continue to threaten and harass and rape or kill us defenseless peasants. You know this gang that’s all in our imagination, right, according to Polis? If SB3 becomes a law and a protected Tren de Aragua gang busts into your house… Of course, they’ll be armed with all the semi-automatic pistols that you had to give up or the ones that they bought on the black market or whatever. So they’ll have all the semi-auto pistols and rifles, but you’re only going to be allowed to have a revolver or perhaps a cast iron skillet to take care of business and in protecting your family. Unless, of course, you’ve made the time, gotten the extra training and the extra certificates, and you’ve acquired your firearm owner identification card, and you’ve paid the money and gone through all the hoops of fire that are going to be expected of you to be compliant with their draconian laws. So you better brush up on your reloading skills. And when I say reloading, I’m not talking about reloading ammunition. I’m talking about reloading your gun. Because revolvers, at the most, about six shots, unless you have a .22, it could be eight, whatever. With a decent caliber .38 Special or .357 Magnum, it’s going to be five or six. Or you better get really good with that bolt-action rifle, that single-shot bolt-action or that pump-action shotgun, because that’s all you’re going to get. No semi-automatic firearms with the ability to quickly reload using detachable magazines because detachable magazines are the devil, right? Because those are reserved for criminal gangs. So you better get good with that wheel gun, people. I’m sorry. I get a little heated about these two subjects. SB3 and the protection of a Venezuelan criminal gang because these two things just don’t jive at all. It infuriates me to no end, and it should infuriate you too. Taking this a step further to add more of an irritant to the subject, I want you to hear this piece about these gangs and how they came to live in and take over this apartment complex in Aurora. You’re not going to believe this. Check this out.

SPEAKER 04 : 22:36

There are some claims coming out against Colorado officials when it came to that apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado. Buckle up. These claims are coming from America First Legal. We’re going to call them AFL. So AFL got a hold of the Aurora Police Department’s records. Those records are showing that the Aurora Police Department knew for over a year that that gang, Tren de Aragua, was in Aurora in that apartment complex. But they never warned the public. They didn’t do anything about it. And the only time they actually acknowledged it was when the gang took over the whole apartment complex. Oh, and it gets worse because apparently there’s this organization that helps place these Venezuelan migrants and they may have actually placed them at this property. Aurora Mayor Mike Kaufman later blamed Denver Mayor Mike Johnston for using federal funds from Biden’s America Rescue Plan Act to contract with these nonprofits to move migrants from Denver into housing located in Aurora apartments. So basically the Denver mayor offloaded these immigrants onto Aurora. I mean, these are some serious allegations. That would mean they knew for a whole year that these people were a threat to society and they didn’t do anything about it. And they knew that they had taken over this apartment complex and instead of removing them or dealing with it, they condemned this whole apartment complex. Like pretty much gift wrapping an apartment complex. Like here, we don’t want to deal with it. So you just take it. Like what? And you’ll all remember we were gaslit for months about that whole situation. It was being downplayed. We were being told that that’s not really what was happening. And I do have to say, these are just allegations. I am not saying any of this is a fact, but if this ends up being true.

SPEAKER 05 : 24:13

And to her point and what I have seen since listening to that audio is that, yes, these allegations are being made by people other than some, you know, girl on TikTok. So, you know, to compare the two, you think about this SB3 that’s coming down and probably going to pass, most likely. And then you think about these gangs. that they don’t care about, that they totally close their eyes, turn their cheek. They don’t care. They don’t want to know. And they want to disarm you from protecting yourself, but they’re protecting these gangs. And it’s something that should just make your blood boil. But like she said, there are only allegations. But if we find out that all this is true, this would be a pretty good cause to not just recall Mayor Mike Johnston, but maybe criminally prosecute him. Aiding and abetting, harboring, right? I mean, are there any folks in Denver who have allegiance to the rule of law and the Constitution? I think about Denver. And I get sent my lovely friend Kelly Mershon. Sorry, I said your name out loud, Kelly. Love you, and I love the stuff that she sends me. And she sends me stuff on Instagram a lot that’s Do Better Denver. And a lot of these videos coming out of Denver are like the one she sent me today was all smash and grabs. It’s a whole line of cars that were parallel parked on a street. All the windows in the cars were busted out. And, of course, you guys, if you’ve been in Denver at all, you’ve seen all the homeless encampments and stuff that are down there. And, you know, driving through Denver a while back when the campaign for the presidential election was going on to see Biden-Harris signs or Harris wall signs in people’s yards and flags flying and stuff. Are there any people in Denver with a brain? Or is everybody so incredibly brainwashed? and just stuck in their little urban bubble that they don’t even see the egregiousness and the acts of tyranny that are happening right under their noses, or do they care? It’s all okay with you? I mean, how can this be okay with any of you? I mean, I know that Denver has a lot of anti-gun violence, people, anti-Constitution people who would love nothing more than for me to shut up and to shut up all gun owners. They hate guns. They just want to exist in these confines of whatever Pontius Polus tells them to do. But there has to be some people who want to maintain their liberty. Right. Where are you in all this? Do I have any listeners from Denver? If you’re out there, give me a call. I would love to hear from conservatives who live in Denver and to find out what you kind of believe and what you think about this. The studio number is 303-477-5600. I would love to hear from anybody who has an opinion about this. I can’t be the only one who’s thinking about these protected gangs and then thinking about this SB3, among other of the many gun laws that have come into existence in Colorado over the last, you know, five, ten years. There’s got to be somebody who has an opinion, who thinks it’s absolute BS. But if you’re out there, you need to help in this fight to keep SB3 from passing. I’m telling you. We’re going to be right back. We’re going to take a short break, and I’m going to come back and I’m going to rant some more, you guys. We’ll be right back. And we are back, and Mama Glock is in the middle of a rant right now, and I’m going to keep ranting. I’m going to keep ranting because somebody needs to be on fire for this. You know, I was talking to the owner of Franktown Firearms today, and he was basically like, it doesn’t matter what you say, this is going to pass, like it’s going to pass. And sometimes I don’t think people really understand the gravity of what we’re dealing with here. And even when I conduct my classes on Saturdays, I do concealed carry classes mostly on Saturdays, and I talk to people about these bills and And I talk about, for example, Colorado being a shall-issue state. And I guess we can still even be considered a shall-issue state, but I preface it by saying for now. For now, we’re a shall-issue state. And what does that mean? That means that if you can pass a background check and you don’t have a criminal record and you can lawfully possess a handgun, you can get a permit to carry concealeds. versus a may-issue state, which means you have to provide written documentation as to why you need a firearm for protection to carry with you, and that they may or may not issue you a permit. And that’s kind of what that means. But as I elaborate a little bit further, and I’m talking about Colorado and the gun laws and stuff, and I mention these laws like SB3, and a lot of people don’t even know what I’m talking about. but yet they’re there to get their concealed carry permit. So that doesn’t jive with me either. If you’re in this community and you’re embarking on this new journey of, you know, buying a gun, learning how to shoot, you know, getting some training, getting confident with your firearm, the whole nine yards, everything that we embody as a company with Franktown Firearms, That should be part of your job description, so to speak. That should be part of your MO is to keep abreast of laws, new laws that are coming down that affect you and your family and your ability to protect yourself. And I think so many people just gloss over it. Like they just don’t, they don’t care. They don’t know. It’s like someday a friend will tell them, yeah, this new law means you can’t have your semi-automatic, you know, your Glock system. 19 or whatever, you can’t have it. It’s, it’s got a detachable magazine. You can’t use it. Can’t take it to a range, whatever. Um, yeah, it’s not even, they’re not taking a little bit of your freedom and, you know, every now and then, and, and you can’t just sit and do nothing. They’re, they’re not taking it a little at a time anymore. They’re, they’re taking these huge chunks of the proverbial cookie and with every egregious law they pass, and we’re letting them. And again, I’ve said a long time ago when I first started doing this show, it’s like, how do we stop them? They won’t stop unless they’re stopped. And how do we stop them? That’s the big question is how do we stop these egregious laws? It’s just something’s got to give because this is getting absolutely ridiculous. Granted, with SB3 and its amended version, people like me would be busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest, making a lot of money through teaching all these different types of mandatory courses. Of course, on top of the already doubled class lengths and refresher courses that we got stuck with through House Bill 1174. So it’s all terrible. These legislators are terrible. Polis is terrible. The Colorado Democrat Party is terrible. You know, each time something like this comes around, I think to myself, oh, Polis wouldn’t sign this. Like that guy was saying, talking about SB3 and its amendments and all that stuff. He has national aspirations, right? He wants to run for president someday. We’ve always heard that. He wants to take his husband to Washington, D.C., and run the country. He wouldn’t alienate half the country with policies like this, would he? And the answer is absolutely yes, he would. And he has, and he will continue to. You know, I’m kind of in favor of following Eastern Oregon’s lead that they’ve got going on right now and starting the process of seceding and joining, like, greater Wyoming or one of the conservative states to our east, like Kansas or Nebraska or Oklahoma or even Texas. I am surprised. I am so sick and tired of these urban population centers calling every shot and determining every election. I could literally throw up. Johnny, what do you got for me?

SPEAKER 07 : 33:44

Well, I want to let you know that we here in Denver, we do support you, even though I don’t know why they’re not spoken of the call. Maybe it’s one of those silent majority kind of things. But I know I heard somewhere along the line that they’re going to have not my president at the Capitol today. And I know they’re getting their funding through what DOJA is funding up. I’m not sure how soon that’s going to dry up where they’re not getting paid and how dedicated will they be when they’re not getting paid to act a fool.

SPEAKER 05 : 34:21

Yeah, exactly. And you are 100% spot on. I should put that on a shirt. How will they be funded to act a fool when all the fraud dries up?

SPEAKER 07 : 34:39

Yeah. And I’m thinking, like, okay, this is a holiday. Some people are taking off and stuff like that. But I don’t know if they look at the calendar and say, okay, what days are we going to have off? Or some of them, because they’re getting paid for this and they may be out of work, because I heard a lot of those people are either out of work, on welfare, or, you know, living off the dole. So then that is… they’re more flexible than we are who have to work every day. Yeah. And so I don’t know how we can put together a group using some of these newsletters that I get from the Republicans saying, okay, can we plan and get a count of how many people can be here for this event so we can oppose these other people’s events because they’re not slowing down.

SPEAKER 05 : 35:28

Yeah, and you are absolutely right with who can show up because, you know, typically the gun-owning, you know, conservative Coloradan is at work during the times that, you know, Congress is in session and stuff. So it’s kind of a really tough spot. sort of juxtaposition between the two groups, the two activist groups. I’d love to be an activist, but I can’t because I’ve got stuff to do. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER 07 : 36:00

Or, okay, we can take a page out of Martin Luther King’s. He had the children, and like during spring break sometimes, the parents that have kids said, let’s organize our kids to go down there. And I don’t know, I mean, there’s so many different ways that we not reinvent the wheel, but just make it part of our evolution and letting them know that we’re not going to take this anymore from our children who they think they’re indoctrinating to the adults.

SPEAKER 05 : 36:32

Yep, exactly, exactly. You’ve got to do something, Johnny. We have to do something because this is just going to start steamrolling. All right. I’ll let you continue and I’ll listen on. Thanks, Johnny. Thanks for the call. So, yeah, I think that I I don’t know. I’ve said this before and I don’t know if I’ve said it on here, but I’ve suggested this with among my friends and stuff that we should just divide the country. We’re already divided. Right. We can all agree on that. We’re already super divided. Let’s divide into the conservative states of America and the liberal states of America. each with their own capital and their own currency and their own governing body. And I’m going to elaborate a little bit on this just to kind of give you an idea of what it would look like. So we would have all the American pro-gun, gas vehicle driving, pro-life, pro-God, pro-liberty, pro-Constitution people who live peacefully with limited government and are in a currency backed by precious metals and massive amounts of freedom. We would be allowed to move about freely. We would enjoy nature without being restricted or having to pay entrance into a national park or whatever. Or maybe we would, just so we can keep it up and keep it clean and all that stuff. So I’m okay with that. But not pay income tax, yet we would still be able to afford a strong military and all the public services that we need, including law enforcement and firefighters and all that stuff. We would have… that on our side of the country. Maybe we could place tariffs on the liberal states of America to pay for all that. That’d be fun. Although we shouldn’t hold our breath that those tariffs would actually benefit us in any substantial way because the liberal states would encourage welfare and sitting on your rear end and popping out babies and continuing to get $1,500 a month for each kid that you have or whatever because that’s kind of what they promote. And they won’t produce anything to import to tariff. So, yeah. But we can keep the American flag because we’re the ones that love it anyway. Isn’t it funny how you can drive down your street and see who the conservatives are just if they have an American flag flying? Because you know that it’s not a Democrat or one of these liberal… these liberal green-haired school teachers or something flying the American flag. You’re not going to see that. And these teachers, same ones, probably cringe when they walk in to the classroom and see an American flag in there. But we’ll keep the flag, and we’ll keep the Star Spangled Banner as our anthem. And on the other side, the liberal states of America, they can have their big government and all the Hollywood idol worship and the pro-abortion movement pro-choice, whatever you want to call it, pro-trans, anti-human, anti-American, liberal lunatics who protect pedophiles and love a good pride parade and enjoy indoctrinating children with fake history and CRT and LGBTQ propaganda. They can have their own fake fiat currency, kind of like we have now, that’s not worth the paper it’s printed on. Maybe that paper currency can feature a portrait of their god, Barack Obama. Everyone can work for the government, and they can harbor and defend and protect all the illegal aliens that they want, all the criminals. Nobody will own a home or a business or a firearm, and they can all lock themselves in their tiny apartments after their curfew in their 15-minute city. and they can wear four masks on their faces when they go out in public. Their bloated government can steal half the citizens’ paychecks in the form of income tax, yet they’ll have a woke military armed with only slingshots and wearing pink camo uniforms and driving electric tanks and wondering which bathroom to use. They can have crumbling roads and bridges with no money to repair any of it, because some elected NGO or some unelected guy, some bureaucrat somewhere, is going to lose billions of dollars and not be able to explain where it went, because that’s standard, right? That’s standard in big government. Perhaps Guns N’ Roses’ Welcome to the Jungle can be their national anthem. Or maybe some demonic liberal entertainers like Beyonce or Cardi B can write a new national anthem. like a rousing tribute to George Soros and Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci and call it vaccinate or die or welcome to the toilet bowl or something. You know, those two countries side by side, we’ll just see who crumbles first. Don’t you think that’d be great? Come on, it’ll be fun. Let’s succeed. You wanna? Let’s do it. Okay, sorry, I got a little carried away there, but I think you get my point. I can’t stand living in a state like Colorado that’s so beautiful with so many wonderful experiences to offer and have it run by insane, out-of-touch Democrats who hate normalcy. They hold nothing but disdain for the family unit. They love to tax the hell out of you and spend all your money and not let you know where they’re spending it and pass stupid laws like SB3. and are never held accountable for anything. Speaking of accountability, Doge is still going strong, uncovering so much fraud, waste, and abuse that it makes one’s head spin. First off, Elon Musk uncovered a list. Now, this is first off as of very recently, as of today. We all know what he’s uncovered up to this point. But Elon Musk uncovered a list of active Social Security numbers ranked by age group. Okay. And now there’s nothing strange about that. However, what is strange, according to this list, is there are over 12 million people over the age of 120. There are 12 million people over the age of 120. Okay. There are 1,039 people in the 220 to 249-year-old age group. And even two people, two, just two, between the ages of 240 and 369. I’m sorry. It just cracks me up. I’m going to just hold back laughy tears here because that just, it’s, oh, my gosh. Do you think these active Social Security numbers might be abused in some way, somehow? I don’t think that really requires further explanation. It’s just hilarious. And then we have what’s happening at the IRS. I want you to listen to this piece again. by Jesse Waters on TikTok. I am loving all of this and I’m so here for it. Check this out.

SPEAKER 09 : 44:14

There’s been a break in at the IRS. Those just kicked in the door and ordered executives to put their hands where they can see them. There was an ultimatum. We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

SPEAKER 03 : 44:25

Those workers arrived today, Gavin Kleiger and others arrived today at the IRS. Do you expect to close the IRS or what do you expect?

SPEAKER 06 : 44:33

No, I don’t expect it. But so I think that the Internal Revenue Service will be looked at like everybody else. Just about everybody’s going to be looked at. So it’s they’re doing a hell of a job. It’s an amazing job they’re doing. And, you know, that force is building these. I call it the force of super geniuses, but it’s building. And, you know, they go up and they talk to some of the people about certain deals and the people get all tongue tied. They can’t talk because these people get it. They’re very smart people. We need smart people.

SPEAKER 09 : 45:04

Big Balls is making bureaucrats tongue tied. What’s this contract for? Terminated. Next up is NASA. Elon’s nerd armies reviewing their spending. I have a feeling we’re gonna find NASA isn’t all about outer space. If agencies can’t justify their head count, Musk’s planning on slashing every department by 30 to 40%. If Doge finds an unused federal building, they’re gonna sell it and put the profits in the piggy bank. Trump has his eyes on 14,000 vacant federal buildings. So if you wanna live in an 80,000 square foot estate at the foot of the Potomac that’s been collecting cobwebs for six decades, put in a bid.

SPEAKER 05 : 45:47

So I thought that was hilarious. And what he said about NASA, and as you guys all know, and Luke loves this about me, that I’m kind of a flat earther, and I think NASA is all a big money laundering scheme in and of itself, and no, we didn’t go to the moon and all that stuff. So with NASA, their budget is $75 billion a year. So who knows where all that money is going, and I’m sure that Elon Musk will find out. On Facebook, this is kind of funny, I put up a post on why – why Democrats are so angry with all this discovery that Doge is doing. It said something like, getting angry at Doge for uncovering waste, fraud, and abuse is like getting angry with the private investigator who you hired to catch your cheating spouse. And it’s kind of like that. And as I said last week, the ones who are screeching the loudest are the ones who are benefiting from all this fraud. and all the, what do they call it, the payments. Luke, help me out here. What are they called? I can’t remember. Anyway, it’s the payments that are going to things that should never be going to. It’s just the way it is. And I didn’t have time to put the list together today, but I’ll compile one at some point that will showcase all the people who came into Congress with you know maybe a couple thousand bucks in their bank account or you know 40,000 bucks or whatever and that’s what their net worth is even if it’s 500,000 or a million that they come into Congress and years later after serving in Congress they’re now multi-millionaires on a congressional salary and that right there that that should tell you all you need to know Elizabeth Warren can sit up there and she can yell and scream and talk about how we’re dismantling the system and everything else. We already know that she’s taken lots and lots of money from big pharma, as has Bernie Sanders. The whole Maha movement and RFK Jr. being in there, hopefully a lot of that is going to be exposed. They’ve already found in HHS that $2 trillion has gone to health services to countries overseas. So the math ain’t mathin’. You know what I mean? This isn’t rocket science. It’s obvious that all this money did not go to study a bunch of dead shrimp on a treadmill. or to make sure that office chairs swivel at the same rate, or all the ridiculous things that they have found. That money did not go to that. It didn’t. And anybody with a brain knows that. And if you believe that these programs or any of the hundreds like them that have been found out are legitimate, you kind of need your head examined. And in my opinion, you should be angry. You should be angry. Look at your check stub. Look at your paycheck stub and look at the federal income tax section of your pay stub and multiply that by the many years that you’ve been working and what you could have bought had you had that money in your pocket. to buy cars or, you know, homes or even groceries or your electric bill or your daycare or, you know, having to make the choice between paying this bill or that bill or putting food on your table or whatever. To think that the government, and yes, of course, we pay for the military. We pay for a minimal government to kind of keep things, you know, kosher on the federal level. But other than that, government is supposed to protect us. That’s their number one job, is to protect us from foreign adversaries. That’s what they’re supposed to do. And they’ve been taking trillions of dollars from us over the decades, and they’ve been laundering it through these different programs, and they’re sticking it in their pockets. And if you can hear that out of my mouth, and be okay with it, and if you want to call me a liar or say, no, you’ve got it all wrong, no, no, no, this dead shrimp on a treadmill program is really, really important, or whatever they said about squirrels being depressed if they’re, you know, if they take cocaine or, you know, I mean, really? If you guys get a chance, and you have like Podbean or if you’re on Rumble or whatever, you should go to, if you know who Sean Ryan is, go to Sean Ryan’s Rumble account. I think it’s S-H-A-W-N, Ryan, as the owner of Franktown Firearms would say. It’s the terrible way of spelling Sean, but it’s Sean Ryan. Go to his show and watch this interview that he has with Lindy, I want to say her name is Lindy Lee. It’s like Lindy and then L-I. I think it’s her last name. And she just brings the receipts and spills the tea. from all this stuff that went on with Biden. Now, she’s a Democrat and she worked for the Biden administration, and now she’s coming out spilling the tea about the Biden administration and all the cronies that know he did not run the country. He was way too cognitively impaired to do that. It was all of his chiefs of staff and all of his advisors. Those are all the people who were actually running the country. So all these rigged elections and laws that restrict your freedom and all these health mandates with COVID and all the stuff and these people that want you, the green new scam, and they want you to buy electric cars or get solar on your house or whatever, it’s time to get ticked off. Absolutely time. And to support the effort. to return some of your money to you. And I have also seen videos where that might be in the works. I saw a video today, something about an $8,000 tax refund for everybody who pays taxes, not illegals and not the people on welfare and all that. But you have to think about the fact that we are paying and some of this money that we’ve been that’s been stolen from us, I guess, is also going into the coffers to pay for their cushy retirements, when and if they ever decide to retire, you know, because they work until they’re 89 years old and sit in their wheelchair, hunched over, acting like they’re an active member of Congress when they’re about ready to drop dead. So we’re paying for their cushy retirement so their families can live good, but we’re paying for it. So I don’t know, folks. Definitely judging by only one phone call today, I’m going to say that you’re not quite angry enough. You’re not quite angry enough. So going back to Franktown Firearms, we’re going to talk about this just a little bit more. And as the commercial that you heard just a little bit ago with this shoot house thing, 360 degree training that you will not find anywhere else. You guys have to come and check it out.
